That's great.

So he wants to know, how do you have a guest back and how does it work?

You said this before where you said that you think some portion of the Decoder audience just wants you to end every episode by arresting a CEO.

I think that's a kind of useful frame too because as much as sometimes you get the McKinsey's, you also do every once in a while get those interviews that do have explosive moments.

And then those interviews I do feel like add fuel to the Decoder frame for future interviews.

Because if somebody sees somebody kind of melt down

they come on the show and they go, oh, well, I can't do that.

I don't want to do what the Intuit CEO did because that's bad.

I think there is value in not treating every interview like you're trying to create that moment, but giving enough room where that moment could happen with almost anybody except for maybe the super, super well-media trained folks does create a good enough dynamic that it's kind of like a will-it-happen kind of thing.

We'd like to thank Nilay for joining the show, and thank you for tuning in, not just today, but all year long.

We hope you've enjoyed it, and we're really looking forward to another great year with all of you here on Decoder.

We also have some really exciting news.

Decoder will be live at CES 2026 on Wednesday, January 7th at the Brooklyn Bowl.

We'd love for you to come hang out with us during the show, and we have some very fun stuff planned.

Stay tuned for more details on how to RSVP in the coming days.

Thank you.

You can also go hit up Nilay on Threads or Blue Sky.
