So these are the stories Larry grows up with.

And these are the stories that he tells bill.

Bill is hearing stories about like, yeah, the lady who sold the Delmonico hotel to Donald Trump, like all of these hard scrabble tales of like refugees who come from nothing and get crazy rich.

Um, like these are the, this is the, the manna that he is like raised with in his brain.

Um,

And as far as I can tell, Larry loves telling stories.

And because he's also got a head for business, these stories are always like business parables.

And so that's just like Bill's, we talk about kids who were grow up raised by like Star Wars or fucking Indiana Jones or whatever.

Bill is raised on these like stories of entrepreneurs getting rich and successful and like changing their family's lives.

Like that's his whole childhood milieu, right?

Yeah, just ultra capitalist Grimm's fairy tale vibes.

Right, exactly.

That's a very good way, ultra-capitalist Grimm's fairy tales.

In comparison, I haven't found anything at all about his mom, really.

Like, very little.

That seems about right, given the whole deal.

You don't hear a lot about Ronnie Posner.

That's his mom's maiden name.

One account that I did come across from Larry – so this is Larry talking about his wife – is that she once collected thousands of signatures and lobbied to convince their local government to extend a railroad line in their hometown.

After telling the story, Larry quipped, activism is genetic, referencing Bill.
