I sat one time on 6th Street, which is that street in Palo Alto where all the high-tech companies are, and they made me put on goggles, and I sat in a seat, and LeBron James actually ran past me, and then somebody else ran past me. I'm like... I know he's not here, so why is this going to excite me that you can make it look like he's here?

I'll never forget being at the Walt Disney Company, and they were trying to show us how great throughβ€” VR would be. Virtual reality stuff would be. And they put us all on like this ledge. It looked very much like you were on the ledge. And if you jumped off the ledge, you would go into an abyss. Yep. And they were going to invite us to jump off the ledge, and I didn't even wait. I just jumped.

I'm like, first of all, there's no way they're going to put an executive at risk here for disappearing into an abyss and dying. So why would you give in to the idea that you were actually on a ledge?

I've seen it as anything from sort of 11 to 16 minutes. I do think it probably is the greatest disparity between the amount of time that's on a clock. Baseball, of course, there is no clock.
