Today's guest is Mr. Alexander Wang. Alexander Wang, man, thanks for hanging out, bro. Yeah, thanks for having me. Yeah, good to see you, dude. Last time was at the inauguration. Yeah, what'd you think of that?
Like, what were your thoughts after you left? Because you and I ended up, we like left out of there and then went and got lunch together, which was kind of crazy.
It was, there was a lot going on. Yeah, it was a, were you there the whole weekend?
No, I just got there the day, the morning of the inauguration. Were you there the whole weekend?
I was there the whole weekend. Yeah, no, I mean, I think at least for what we do, like for AI, the new administration is really excited about it and wants to make sure that we get it right as a country. So that was all great, but it was kind of a crazy, the whole like event, like everything was pretty crazy. I don't know, what'd you think? Yeah.
I mean when I saw Conor McGregor show up, that's when I was like shit is – where are we? That's what like the most bizarre – I mean you were there. Sam Altman was there. I was just like – it was like what happened here? And part of that is because Alex Brusiewicz, you know. Totally, yeah. I mean it's all because of him that we all went.
