But in the meantime, Jack, we got three fantastic stories for the funnest place in finance, coolest in capital. For our first story, Apple just built their first concert venue and it's got more cameras and speakers than Carnegie Hall. But Apple knows that live events aren't actually about live events. For our second story, Andreas and Horror, it's the world's most famous venture. Capital firm just launched a university. Horwitz Andreessen Academy, or as we call it, Dropout Year. Yeah.

But besties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories.
Wonderful mix of stories. Love the mix. Almost time for Heron Mix. Did you hand them a printed copy of your recipe? Did you send a thank you? Letter to all the recruiters within 24 hours. And was that thank you note an email or was it handwritten, Jack? And did that thank you note say hi, Mr. Johnson, or dear Mr. Johnson? Uh Besties, there are so many challenging questions when you're applying for a job, but one question is bigger than any other. Should you bring an iced coffee into your interview? Iced coffee interviews? Where do we stand on this, Jack?
How is Apple’s new 600‑seat iConcert Music Hall designed for live recordings?
Okay. In summer of 2008, I would not have survived without my daily four. 40-ounce black iced coffee. Okay, but did you bring it into the interview? I feel like if I walked in with a decaf, half calf situation, I would have been kicked out. Okay, so Okay, so the pro iced coffee supporters, they say that bringing it in showcases your personality. Wow. This guy's got it for Appuccino. It highlights your energy. Coolada. It also signals you were organized because you had time to hit up Starbucks on the way to the office. Okay, that's one opinion. But the iced coffee detractors, what do they say? Well, the first thing the Mention is the condensation ring on the boss's desk. his best. Uh, then they're gonna mention the cracking ice that interrupted the whole interview.
And did I hear slurping from your straw? I can't resist it slurping. Don't try to slap it out. I can't resist it. It's the syrup part. Now I'm a little biased here, but if I saw someone bringing in iced coffee to an interview, I'd hire that man. I'd have that bit. Remind me of me. Hire that man. Darlena Duncan, she's loving this iced coffee interview drama. Because the iced coffee question has gone viral like a bad Zoom interview. Besties, is iced coffee a Job hunting asset or 40 ounces of rejection? Let us know in the comments and Jack refills. Let's hit our three stars.
15 years before this song, two boys from the northeast met in the dorm. They had an idea that caused a cultural storm. It's the best one, yeah, but the best is a norm. Jack, Nick, that's it. I don't even think they need to practice. 50%, that's a fat tip. T-boy city on your at list. If you know, you know, cause we read to go. We can't wait no more, so just start the show. Start the show. Start the show.
