Well, yeah, Airbnb probably is a good question.

Like Airbnb probably gets around that because you're doing everything online and you're just showing up.

So they probably, you know, I can't say that's why they do well, but there's this Airbnb experience and then there's a hotel experience and they don't seem to ever meet each other.

You know, there's,

Not that I want like a community host when I show up at the Peninsula or something, but there is just this weird inversion of service that so often I think lots of times the service we want is to not have to be, I hate to say it, but not have to be nice to a human, like not have to sit there and smile and have a conversation when you just want to go to your room.

But yeah, it's amazing on private flights that the catering is so bad.

And very expensive.

And it kind of feels bad.

I know this will sound...

Even more tone deaf, sorry.

But it's also bothersome that it comes in like hard plastic and you're just, I know you're on a plane already, but there's just something, it feels unhealthy and it feels like, what am I gonna do with all this like hard plastic?

And I don't know, it's just bothersome.

yeah what i started doing is just ordering uber eats and i'm like oh my god i can have like a great steak dinner or something or sushi yeah and it's it's it is it's that inversion again and yeah and flight attendants just feel like kind of awkward like it's just

Like oddly, this is random, but it was a random connection.

But at one point at Zynga, I did this, I started doing this annual tradition where I'd try to prank the entire company for April Fool's.

Oh my God.

And it worked, but they all knew about it.

So I had to like get...

craftier and deeper and so at one point i got this idea actually from my life coach it was not a good idea to bring in clowns from the san francisco clown school and have them just start roaming the hallways and going to meetings and i did it for weeks before april fools i did it in march

And I thought it'd be funny and it wasn't.
