I am loving that you also busted out the holiday sweater.

Feels very appropriate. Yes, I purchased this holiday sweater at the Seattle Nordstrom for our 2019 live show at the University of Washington. It's like two months before the pandemic hit. That's right.

And I think I wore it last year, too. I feel like you did. Yeah, we were right behind me. I wish we were doing it again this year, but it seems prudent to not have a father of a toddler hopping on an airplane and then sit in a confined space with me for five hours right now.

A lot of germs in my life right now.

Thank you for your precautions. Welcome to Season 13, Episode 5, the season finale and holiday special of Acquired, the podcast about great companies and the stories and playbooks behind them. I'm Ben Gilbert.

67.967 - 68.888 David Rosenthal

I'm David Rezenthal.

69.168 - 88.622 Ben Gilbert

And we are your hosts. You see what I did there, David? I did. I did. No technology. No technology. No technology. Yes, I motion to, you know, the whole board of directors here that we drop technology from our intro since I crunched the numbers and four of the 14 episodes we did this year were technology companies.

89.182 - 99.21 David Rosenthal

All right. Well, it's a good thing that there are no other board members required besides you and me because I am in full agreement. Unanimous. And otherwise we would have had a deadlocked vote there one to one.

99.25 - 108.598 Ben Gilbert

That's true. And I don't think our charter really actually ever accounts for what to do in that circumstance. So Yes, listeners, if you count Lockheed Martin, it's five. If you count Visa, it's six.
