What's going on? Oh, yeah. So I live in something called a joint family, which is where you kind of like live with like a bunch of nuclear families all together. Yeah. It's pretty common in India, less so now, but basically I live with about 15 people. Oh, wow. And we kind of are, you know, just cordoned off in three different apartments that are right next to each other.

136.42 - 140.509 Anirudh

I always like to say it's kind of like the TV show Friends or something.

Like I have to cut to the chase on something. Who's the maniac? There's 15 of I know a name just popped into your head. You can see their face right now. Who's the one who's really out of control?

0

319.99 - 328.38 Jason Calacanis

Besides me. Who's the one in your pod of 15 people who's really out there? And this doesn't have to be in a negative way, but just they're kind of the wild card.

0

328.44 - 337.51 Anirudh

Oh, yeah. They're just, they're the wild card. Yeah, I have like a couple of cousins who I think definitely fit that bill. Give me names. I want names.

Yeah.

339.893 - 341.542 Anirudh

Are you going to be talking to them after?

341.563 - 345.887 Jason Calacanis

No, I didn't say I was going to do that. Although that's now a possibility.

347.15 - 356.724 Anirudh

Well, I have this one cousin. We call him Fatu, which is like a sweet nickname that we made up for him. It's called Fuck You? What is it? Fatu. Oh, Fatu.

738.939 - 742.645 Unknown

Don't do it. So angry. Well, anyway, so she's a big fan and always has been. Unirude, how often, where does Irene live now?

755.272 - 766.399 Anirudh

Oh, well, she's doing a graduate degree in the U.S. She's interning at Google right now, so she's all fancy. She's out there stealing jobs and learning about tech.

767.442 - 772.133 Jason Calacanis

So that must be difficult. That's a long-distance relationship.
