There we go. Sorry, you took us there. So I think that the idea that something special happens that is technical, that creates artifact, I don't know. I really struggle. I feel like for every example I can come up with where that's happened, I feel I can come up with dozens where that's not the way it happened.

I feel like for every example I can come up with where that's happened, I feel I can come up with dozens where that's not the way it happened.

Yeah, I feel it's like most of those examples are like Z-ball and like chariot racing. Like, you know what? We should race these chariots. These things have wheels and we should race them. Like, I feel like that is like, that's the conversation that happened coming back from coffee. Like, why haven't we thought of this before? Like, absolutely.

I too believe we should be playing the marker game with my brothers and sisters. We should be playing marriage should return as... the return of the Z ball queen. Uh, absolutely. Yeah, for sure. And like, I think that, but that's part of the problem with these RTO mandates is that's not, does not seem to be the angle like at all. And, uh,

And we're like, of course, anyone listening to this in the distant future is like looking at their watch being like 25 minutes in like slow clap. And I'm finally getting context. It's like you literally talked about a two headed shower and chariot racing before you got to the top. Well, yes, here we are. You're welcome.

Well, so first of all, it's like the subject is strengthening our culture and teams. And, man, if that doesn't get every – I mean, that's got to get you on high alert when you get a CEO message about strengthening our culture and teams. And so I'm not going to read the whole thing. Although, actually, it is kind of –

Next paragraph. When I think about my time at Amazon, I never imagined I'd be at the company for 27 years. My plan, which my wife and I agreed to on a bar napkin in 1997, was to be here for a few years and move back to New York City. Strike. Do not need that. Why is this here? Redline. I mean, I just feel like... So save it for the podcast.

You want to talk about your two-headed shower, do it in the podcast. Don't do it here. Also, you're talking about having been in the company for 27 years. That is a really, really, really long time. I think it's like... I was trying to think to myself, it's like, wow, that is like someone... I showed up at Sun in 1996.

This is like getting a message from an executive talking about how they've been at the company since 1969. And that is, I mean, the company didn't exist in 19, there were very few Silicon Valley companies that existed in 1969. Like at that time, it would be like,
