And like the idea of like spending forty million dollars by raising your eyebrow just so slightly is like voice-verified

Very affirming. voice-verified

It's like um I talk about this a lot, but like I play poker with my children and I've like taught my children how to play poker. voice-verified

I've written about it for for Sylvia at Bloomberg and um and it's like uh voice-verified

It's like a highlight of my summer. voice-verified

It just it's it feels like a very summer vacation thing, is to play poker with the children. voice-verified

And voice-verified

My children have now gotten a little more into like instead of saying check when you don't want to bet, just knocking on the table, which is the like sort of poker pro way to do it. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

And it's the same vibe of like just making the subtlest possible movement. voice-verified

So anyway, the point is that at an art auction, if people are very, very subtly indicating how they're bidding, then an auctioneer voice-verified

So it's fine. voice-verified

Yeah, although like apparently not everyone in the room knows that like they're chandelier bidding, but apparently in like auction catalogs they put disclosures. voice-verified

So the reader emailed me an article about like the voice-verified

legality of chandelier bidding. voice-verified

And apparently in New York, it's required to disclose it. voice-verified

And so auction houses have disclosures like, unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve. voice-verified

The auctioneer may implement the reserve by opening bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. voice-verified
