And and what do you do?

I mean, that's happened to me so often in games that like this will be so cool.

And then we build it like that or we see a competitor who has that.

And I want to send them a thank you note because I'm like, thank you for building my bad idea for me.

I'm definitely not going to do that now.

And, but when you, it's kind of like love, you know, finding your partner when, when I think when you do find the person you're not asking, is this right?

You're not asking other people.

Do you, what do you think of her?

You know, totally.

Well, this is the second company I took public.

I had a company called support.com that I took public in 2000 on the last day of the IPO window because it was enterprise software.

Our VCs had no interest in the company until the consumer fell apart.

We had 170 million in bookings.

We were able to go public.

I think it's a false dream.

And I think I even felt it a little bit then, but for sure, by the time I got to Zynga, I didn't want to go public.

We were forced to go public.

We were incredibly profitable.

We had over a billion dollars on our balance sheet when we went public, but we were forced because of the SEC rules, which Obama changed with the Startup Act.

And there's all this pressure because people want your stock and they're finding ways to buy it through side letters.
