Tamak, did you go down to the breakthrough thing this weekend?
The breakthrough prize was amazing. It's like observing exotic animals in their natural habitat.
Well, a friend of mine who you hung out with down there called me last night to give me the breakdown on all the individuals he saw and what was going on with them.
I mean, he's like, I don't even know how Nat and I keep getting invited to this, but like to say we were outclassed is an understatement.
The people at that thing were.
What is it? Break the rewards?
The breakthrough prize. Yeah. Yeah. I couldn't make it. I got invited to. It's so incredible.
Okay. First of all, shout out to Yuri and Julia. It is incredible. There were two moments where I cried. This woman goes up on stage to give an award to the people that had made this investment in cystic fibrosis. Yeah. And she says, my child was born with cystic fibrosis, and then my second child was born with cystic fibrosis, and then my second child died. She said that, I just burst into tears. And then you present an award to the person that actually is helping them stamp out the disease. We celebrated the people that found the gene that caused Parkinson's. And then, yeah, I mean, the people at that is pretty incredible. It's in LA, right? They did it in Los Angeles? Yeah. I mean, like, look, Yuri Milner and Julia Milner, Zuck and Priscilla Chan and Anne Wojcicki and Sergey Brin.
Those six people are the ones that organized this breakthrough prize. And I think it's just modern version of the Nobel, which tries to really shine a spotlight on people doing really groundbreaking work in physics and math and life sciences. And so you get people that have just done things that are just very practical, and are very real. And I think what they do is they make, frankly, these kinds of achievements much more high level in the sense that you're bringing together people from Hollywood and people from Silicon Valley and the awareness is up and it's just incredibly well produced. And yeah, it's really a cool thing to be a part of. But I mean, seeing some of these people are very intimidating. I sat beside Vin Diesel.
Oh, really? That was super cool. He is a super nice guy. And on the other side of me was someone that actually Sachs knows, Toby Emmerich, who was the chairman of Warner Brothers. So just talking to these guys was super cool. Moving it to Los Angeles was a great move.
Great idea. Yeah, it's just, I was invited. I couldn't make it, so sorry. And thank you to Julia and- Yuri for inviting us again. But it's really great that they're giving it the celebration it deserves and making it, you know, like, dare I say, sexy and cool and hip to be a scientist and solve the world's biggest problems. I think it's just so awesome. And you're right, Sergey Brin and Wojciechowski Sak and Priscilla and Julia and Yuri are the founders of the Breakthrough Prize.
The craziest thing is they give a youth Breakthrough Award. So the Breakthrough Prize is this beautiful globe. And then the junior winner gets like a smaller version, very appropriate. And it was a video of this kid in India who had won it a few years ago and then went off to MIT and then graduated. And then the video is of him coming back to Bangalore because his sister had won this year. And he presented it to the sister. And all I could think of was, this is an incredible achievement by like a 16-year-old. And literally at the same time, my 16-year-old was like, dad, the chicken tenders from DoorDash have got arrived.
And I was like, I can't find my chicken fingers.
Rain Man, David Sack.
Dad, I said get me the spicy fries, not the regular Cajun fries. The girl that won it, Freebird, did something with Yamanaka Factors.
So it's like, it's really incredible and inspiring. But fortunately, don't worry, my 16-year-old was able to get the chicken tenders and everything was fine. Oh, okay, good.
Yeah, sure. You called ****** and rerouted it? I called ****** and said, ****** can't get his chicken tenders.
