welcome to this startup is being recorded.
00:00:10.394 --> 00:00:12.255
This recording is improvised fiction.
00:00:12.794 --> 00:00:16.364
Similarities between it and the real world are entirely intentional.
00:00:16.995 --> 00:00:18.405
Now enjoy the recording.
00:00:22.274 --> 00:00:22.964

Um, can't believe what spring is here.
00:00:27.495 --> 00:00:30.434
It's almost may, uh, just another standup.
00:00:30.434 --> 00:00:32.024
It's going to be a good day.
00:00:32.475 --> 00:00:38.125
Uh, I guess we should do intros, um, band.
00:00:38.155 --> 00:00:41.005
Sorry, just it's such a good season for set.
00:00:41.064 --> 00:00:46.375
I mean, all the couch sales, the traffic come in in, I just, I feel so bullish about this year.
00:00:46.884 --> 00:00:52.674
Uh, I I'm Kate Blanchet, um, for anyone listening who doesn't know me yet, I'm the chief of staff.
00:00:53.005 --> 00:00:59.515
I work under John and really, you know, it's just my job to make set a better place.
00:01:00.475 --> 00:01:01.284
Make the world a better.
00:01:03.009 --> 00:01:04.269
a little emotional.
00:01:04.387 --> 00:01:04.927
Yeah.
00:01:04.927 --> 00:01:07.296
you seem full of late.
00:01:10.870 --> 00:01:11.439
Anyone else
00:01:11.656 --> 00:01:11.897
Wow.
00:01:11.897 --> 00:01:12.316
Sorry.
00:01:12.346 --> 00:01:14.296
I almost like choked on your happiness.
00:01:14.296 --> 00:01:16.246
It's just, it's so much,
00:01:16.766 --> 00:01:23.156
Um, well, I, I feel like I'm going to bring down the mood, so somebody else got.
00:01:24.076 --> 00:01:28.367
uh, Califia melanova chief creatives are here at CIT.
00:01:28.757 --> 00:01:32.656
I don't have some pontification about my value in the world.
00:01:32.656 --> 00:01:33.527
It's intrinsic.
00:01:34.983 --> 00:01:40.864
Eric Troy Carter, uh, despite my emoji I'm middle name, I'm just feeling all right today.
00:01:41.013 --> 00:01:46.743
Um, but have some exciting new, so excited for standing and I'm chief product officer, but I'd say that already.
00:01:47.421 --> 00:01:47.721
Right.
00:01:48.111 --> 00:01:50.662
Um, hi, I'm Matt, Matt dyads.
00:01:50.691 --> 00:01:54.231
That's also my website and I'm the CTO here at CIT.
00:01:54.742 --> 00:02:03.471
And, um, I think, uh, I'm, I'm the, the frowning face emoji, but not the like slight frown, but like the big one.
00:02:03.621 --> 00:02:04.641
Um, the
00:02:04.867 --> 00:02:05.766
Oh, no.
00:02:06.531 --> 00:02:09.322
uh, I've got, I've got big news for the standard.
00:02:10.056 --> 00:02:10.956
As well.
00:02:11.016 --> 00:02:16.717
Uh, so I guess in a good news, bad news DLT, I want the bad news first get out of the way, rip the band-aid off.
00:02:17.097 --> 00:02:17.396
Yeah.
00:02:17.396 --> 00:02:18.986
Let's yeah, definitely.
00:02:19.467 --> 00:02:19.856
Okay.
00:02:20.067 --> 00:02:26.516
Um, there's been a pretty big security breach in the server room.
00:02:27.447 --> 00:02:38.217
Um, still haven't figured out who got in, uh, we're checking everybody's key cards, um, physical access, physical keys.
00:02:39.306 --> 00:03:07.236
Uh, so, you know, I would love actually, any information that anyone in this room might have, um, because we have been turning up painted eggs inside of the cabinets, uh, behind the keyboards, uh, in the patch cable walls, um, mini fridge, all kinds of things that are in what is supposed to be a physically secure.
00:03:08.586 --> 00:03:17.736
Very carefully access controlled room and, uh, you know, like, uh, love celebrating holidays around the office.
00:03:17.766 --> 00:03:18.697
It's very fun.
00:03:18.697 --> 00:03:19.597
Scavenger hunt.
00:03:19.956 --> 00:03:26.616
Ha the that's a no, that's a no for me on the server room and somebody did it up in there.
00:03:27.134 --> 00:03:28.694
W what kind of eggs?
00:03:28.956 --> 00:03:31.116
You know, what kind of eggs, Kate, please.
00:03:32.495 --> 00:03:37.895
I just want to know if it's the same kind of hollowed out painted eggs that I've been finding in the fridge.
00:03:39.481 --> 00:03:51.782
Yeah, I assume so there they're just regular eggs that have been blown out and painstakingly decorated in paints, sparkles, glitter, uh, some nice ink to drawings.
00:03:51.812 --> 00:03:52.711
Uh, the occasional.
00:03:54.788 --> 00:03:56.769
Nah, I don't know a lot.
00:03:56.769 --> 00:04:11.239
I keep saying this, but as I've said every, every day for the last week, The Easter egg hunt that Iran was digital entirely that it was only on the website and my good news for today.
00:04:11.239 --> 00:04:13.459
It was going to be that somebody finally found the last egg.
00:04:13.758 --> 00:04:16.579
And so we've distributed all the prizes and
00:04:16.976 --> 00:04:17.726
that's great.
00:04:17.757 --> 00:04:18.057
That's
00:04:18.139 --> 00:04:20.449
feels like, it feels like you don't believe me, that all of them are digital
00:04:20.637 --> 00:04:21.507
No, I didn't.
00:04:22.627 --> 00:04:24.726
I know your team put a lot of work into that.
00:04:24.757 --> 00:04:26.166
And, um,
00:04:26.189 --> 00:04:26.668
the doers.
00:04:27.247 --> 00:04:30.247
yeah, I mean, it was, uh, they had a lot of fun with it.
00:04:30.276 --> 00:04:36.666
Believe me, there was just a lot of like giggling and glee as those things were going in.
00:04:36.997 --> 00:04:38.197
And so it's super nice.
00:04:38.257 --> 00:04:42.427
Uh, also that, you know, uh, we can give out those prices.
00:04:42.427 --> 00:04:46.447
We can pull, pull those from the app and can go back to the last build.
00:04:46.596 --> 00:04:50.976
Um, no, and I, I, they don't, they don't look anything like yours.
00:04:51.470 --> 00:04:53.569
I know a way to resolve this, Eric.
00:04:53.569 --> 00:04:58.730
I know you've been dealing with this disbelief, but could you define digital?
00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:06.009
think maybe Matt isn't understanding what you mean by digital.
00:05:06.490 --> 00:05:07.300
That's probably the case.
00:05:08.004 --> 00:05:17.124
I think, I think of, I think we all do, but I think especially Matt understands what, what I mean by digital there that are images on the
00:05:17.451 --> 00:05:40.161
Yeah, they exist only in a virtual space as rendered by our website and our application that, that in, I assumed that you meant that in no way were these physical eggs that had been hollowed out and die, died, uh, painstakingly decorated, and then hidden in locations around this building, including what is supposed to be a securely locked.
00:05:40.975 --> 00:05:41.334
Okay.
00:05:41.535 --> 00:05:41.925
And,
00:05:41.971 --> 00:05:42.601
solve this.
00:05:42.601 --> 00:05:45.422
Could have we broken, open one of the eggs
00:05:46.569 --> 00:05:49.089
no, I mean, they're, they're very light.
00:05:49.810 --> 00:05:50.889
They seem hollow to me.
00:05:51.553 --> 00:05:51.884
okay.
00:05:51.913 --> 00:05:56.113
Can, um, can one of you provide me with an egg to open?
00:05:57.850 --> 00:05:58.810
Yeah.
00:05:58.815 --> 00:05:59.206
I've got
00:05:59.766 --> 00:06:00.307
They're kind of
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:01.720
Oh, you've been finding them too.
00:06:01.750 --> 00:06:02.199
Yeah.
00:06:03.129 --> 00:06:03.279
Yeah.
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:03.639
Here you go.
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:03.730
Okay.
00:06:04.374 --> 00:06:04.733
Okay.
00:06:04.913 --> 00:06:06.353
I know I I'm.
00:06:06.473 --> 00:06:09.473
I honestly curious, cause we haven't found them around the creative team.
00:06:09.533 --> 00:06:15.293
Um, they don't match any of the artistic signatures of any of the creative folks.
00:06:15.293 --> 00:06:17.033
You know, I know their artwork really well.
00:06:17.033 --> 00:06:20.244
I look at it, I know their style and if I crack it.
00:06:22.538 --> 00:06:22.928
Yeah.
00:06:23.019 --> 00:06:23.528
Yep.
00:06:23.858 --> 00:06:26.769
You get a little V for vendetta trading card.
00:06:26.798 --> 00:06:28.959
This is definitely the work of Victor.
00:06:31.115 --> 00:06:31.805
Victor.
00:06:31.834 --> 00:06:32.704
Victor's on yours.
00:06:34.158 --> 00:06:35.238
Now Victor's on.
00:06:35.615 --> 00:06:37.384
Wait that Victor
00:06:38.021 --> 00:06:38.740
Victor, Victor.
00:06:38.809 --> 00:06:39.769
of on all teams.
00:06:39.769 --> 00:06:42.139
I mean, he started, you know, in the very
00:06:42.141 --> 00:06:43.641
before teams.
00:06:43.819 --> 00:06:46.278
uh, when we really were kind of all in on this.
00:06:46.574 --> 00:06:49.095
but nobody's seen Victor.
00:06:49.845 --> 00:06:51.105
I mean, since before I got.
00:06:51.728 --> 00:06:52.598
I agree.
00:06:52.598 --> 00:07:05.259
It's, um, it's very alarming, but I mean, he, he was a big holiday guy fixture and I mean, he, as you know, his first initial, his fee and he was really interviewed for vendetta.
00:07:05.588 --> 00:07:10.838
I mean, this, this sounds like an old Victor screw around, you know,
00:07:12.298 --> 00:07:22.348
I should have seen it leaving the creative team alone, especially targeting the areas that would make us think security, breach, something bad has happened, you know?
00:07:22.858 --> 00:07:23.218
So.
00:07:24.047 --> 00:07:24.377
Yeah.
00:07:24.406 --> 00:07:31.726
And, um, it would also just explain the single happy meal I found on my desk a couple of days ago.
00:07:33.124 --> 00:07:36.353
so like kind of a calling card.
00:07:36.353 --> 00:07:41.454
Was there, is there anything about the happy meal that kind of tipped you off?
00:07:41.483 --> 00:07:41.814
That it was.
00:07:42.728 --> 00:07:47.348
No honestly, uh, was, was very, was very interested.
00:07:47.348 --> 00:07:54.009
I mean, it was like a happy meal with a like Mick fish filet in it, which I didn't even know they put in happy meals.
00:07:54.009 --> 00:07:54.999
So I just thought that.
00:07:54.999 --> 00:08:00.009
it was like some, I just thought originally it was like an F you to our new fish policy.
00:08:00.009 --> 00:08:03.158
And somebody was just doing that in a horrific way.
00:08:03.249 --> 00:08:06.959
Um, you know, some members of my team had been taking it hard.
00:08:07.749 --> 00:08:08.199
It's.
00:08:08.259 --> 00:08:09.338
I mean, they are vegan.
00:08:09.338 --> 00:08:13.449
They just don't like to have limitations placed on their body or life.
00:08:13.538 --> 00:08:17.559
Um, so I thought originally it was just, you know, something like that.
00:08:17.559 --> 00:08:20.678
It's a big corporation, it's a fish, that kind of stuff.
00:08:20.709 --> 00:08:23.019
But now it makes sense.
00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:34.211
I mean, you know, as you all know, we met fixture in a McDonald's parking lot and this could, this could be a side assignment he's back.
00:08:34.958 --> 00:08:42.038
I just, uh, looked up the email address of all of the people who found the digital Easter eggs.
00:08:42.038 --> 00:08:48.339
And over 60% of them are from a V Norse fire.
00:08:49.384 --> 00:08:52.563
Aol.com that's that's gotta be him.
00:08:53.231 --> 00:08:54.192
It's gotta be him.
00:08:54.950 --> 00:09:00.080
so he found the eggs and the digital hunt and placed the eggs and the physical.
00:09:01.142 --> 00:09:02.552
That's actually very true.
00:09:02.552 --> 00:09:14.822
I mean, Matt, didn't you say one of the reasons why you suspected Eric was because all of the eggs match, the like designed eggs at the art department had put up.
00:09:15.302 --> 00:09:21.001
Yeah, well, I mean, you know, the, the art is like cute eight bit digital picture pixel art.
00:09:21.062 --> 00:09:28.922
And so yeah, if someone with like incredible artistic skill had taken those as inspiration and done them in.
00:09:29.677 --> 00:09:32.586
Baroque styles, a impressionist.
00:09:32.586 --> 00:09:34.447
I mean, these are,
00:09:35.453 --> 00:09:36.354
Masterpieces.
00:09:36.427 --> 00:09:36.846
yeah.
00:09:36.876 --> 00:09:46.086
And I guess, I guess, yeah, they look like, well, wait, how many, remind me, Eric, how many stickers were in the app to find?
00:09:48.187 --> 00:09:51.037
Okay, well, my team has.
00:09:51.937 --> 00:09:58.687
Two dozen out of the server room in the last few days, uh, Kate, you said you've been finding them in the break room and other places.
00:09:58.716 --> 00:10:00.216
How, how many have you found so far?
00:10:02.703 --> 00:10:02.974
Yeah.
00:10:03.124 --> 00:10:05.793
Our teams come up with like, I think 18 or 19.
00:10:06.004 --> 00:10:07.803
So I don't know about 52.
00:10:10.687 --> 00:10:11.437
have a lot of eggs too.
00:10:11.621 --> 00:10:15.101
Yeah, that seems like a lot of eggs to find, but it does make sense.
00:10:15.101 --> 00:10:32.532
I mean, with the artistic, I mean, we all know that Victor was a, uh, into art forgery before he found us that's like, and actually came really into handy because he was able to connect us, you know, with a lot of his former clients became some of our first investors and said, okay,
00:10:36.682 --> 00:10:37.642
What do you think he wants?
00:10:38.996 --> 00:10:39.986
I don't know.
00:10:40.017 --> 00:10:55.616
I mean, you know, I usually am pretty good at speaking Victor, so to speak, but, um, you know, he, he likes to play games and things like that, but, you know, usually comes out of the shadows a lot sooner than this.
00:10:57.866 --> 00:11:03.687
I've always left notes and that McDonald's parking lot, making it very clear if you wanted to come back.
00:11:03.716 --> 00:11:09.057
Like we would, I mean, we have a lot of questions for him, but like we would welcome him back.
00:11:09.057 --> 00:11:09.777
So
00:11:09.817 --> 00:11:13.506
I mean, I have questions, like how did he get into the room?
00:11:13.596 --> 00:11:17.616
Like we've, we've revamped the entire access control system.
00:11:17.616 --> 00:11:19.326
None of those locks should be the same.
00:11:19.447 --> 00:11:24.336
Uh, and if he badged in with somebody's badge, those logs have been erased.
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:26.379
we have to find the
00:11:26.586 --> 00:11:27.817
is he's he's good.
00:11:27.937 --> 00:11:28.057
Yeah.
00:11:28.782 --> 00:11:29.201
Yeah.
00:11:29.231 --> 00:11:35.022
I mean, as, as, I well know, I thought I was great, but even I activated the bees.
00:11:35.624 --> 00:11:35.894
Right.
00:11:37.409 --> 00:11:38.470
None of the bees were out.
00:11:39.287 --> 00:11:42.287
No, none of the mechanisms in there were tripped.
00:11:42.287 --> 00:11:46.986
Also, just to be clear, we did not reload the bees after they went off on UK.
00:11:46.986 --> 00:11:49.397
Califia no, we went, we went with a different system.
00:11:49.517 --> 00:11:51.797
Uh, so it won't be it.
00:11:51.817 --> 00:11:54.197
If you decide to come in again, it won't be business.
00:11:55.481 --> 00:11:56.682
That's good to know.
00:11:57.522 --> 00:12:08.951
I mean, I'm tempted to try, you know, just to try to figure out how Victor could have gotten in, but I must admit his skills were always more impressive than mine in that field.
00:12:09.432 --> 00:12:11.261
And this is another example of that.
00:12:12.249 --> 00:12:14.528
we could put another egg up on the site.
00:12:15.668 --> 00:12:16.568
See if he comes back.
00:12:17.006 --> 00:12:17.787
Oh,
00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:20.490
then wouldn't that create one more egg in our office?
00:12:20.490 --> 00:12:20.820
We have two.
00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:21.500
And
00:12:21.568 --> 00:12:24.448
exactly You'd have to, he'd have to, he'd have to deliver it.
00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:27.000
so we w we could try to catch.
00:12:28.051 --> 00:12:28.860
Hmm.
00:12:30.091 --> 00:12:30.870
All right, hang on.
00:12:30.931 --> 00:12:32.610
Let let's pull up the app.
00:12:32.671 --> 00:12:50.341
Uh, Eric, I'm trying to remember, um, I want to say 24, the two dozen that were found in the server room that matches the same number and type is that right of the ones that we had in the settings pages of the.
00:12:53.900 --> 00:12:54.591
Yeah.
00:12:55.041 --> 00:12:55.880
Oh, this is,
00:12:56.104 --> 00:12:58.594
He considers your tech team.
00:12:58.624 --> 00:13:00.484
The settings of our company
00:13:01.140 --> 00:13:01.740
Yeah.
00:13:02.988 --> 00:13:03.197
Hmm.
00:13:03.931 --> 00:13:04.350
Okay.
00:13:04.350 --> 00:13:09.451
And then, oh, uh, I don't know.
00:13:10.140 --> 00:13:14.100
Would it be, I mean, kind of operate behind the scenes
00:13:14.298 --> 00:13:15.227
Important, but not.
00:13:17.354 --> 00:13:18.583
how many eggs were on the home?
00:13:21.123 --> 00:13:25.513
Uh, let's see 16.
00:13:26.509 --> 00:13:28.849
That's the number I found in John's office.
00:13:30.605 --> 00:13:31.326
okay.
00:13:31.332 --> 00:13:31.802
Okay.
00:13:33.140 --> 00:13:33.500
let's see.
00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:36.770
I remember we had a bunch behind the temporary word, old game.
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.751
Uh, Yeah.
00:13:39.812 --> 00:13:42.451
Wait, Kate, remind me how many you found in the break room?
00:13:44.384 --> 00:13:48.195
18, no 14, 14,
00:13:49.022 --> 00:13:51.272
Well, yeah.
00:13:51.302 --> 00:13:51.422
Okay.
00:13:51.451 --> 00:13:51.751
Sorry.
00:13:51.751 --> 00:13:54.451
I'm having to solve the, uh,
00:13:54.465 --> 00:13:55.544
That is where I do work.
00:13:56.402 --> 00:13:57.662
Uh, yeah.
00:13:57.692 --> 00:13:58.322
14.
00:14:00.812 --> 00:14:01.231
Okay.
00:14:01.231 --> 00:14:05.101
So, so we just need to put a new Easter egg in the.
00:14:06.511 --> 00:14:09.001
Somewhere that corresponds to a place.
00:14:09.001 --> 00:14:12.511
We want Victor to put an egg here.
00:14:13.567 --> 00:14:15.397
What's the easiest place to stake out.
00:14:15.621 --> 00:14:16.251
Yeah.
00:14:16.491 --> 00:14:17.032
Yeah.
00:14:18.111 --> 00:14:20.662
Set up a watch, set up some live cameras.
00:14:21.615 --> 00:14:22.065
yeah.
00:14:22.065 --> 00:14:24.634
And one of those, um, one of those sorts of.
00:14:25.335 --> 00:14:30.225
Metal baskets that falls when someone stands under it and catches them.
00:14:30.629 --> 00:14:31.558
the mousetrap.
00:14:32.485 --> 00:14:34.434
Yeah, but for humans,
00:14:35.371 --> 00:14:36.152
Yeah, man trap.
00:14:36.494 --> 00:14:36.854
Yeah,
00:14:38.251 --> 00:14:38.432
Yeah.
00:14:38.432 --> 00:14:38.971
We looked at a
00:14:39.006 --> 00:14:40.326
Rube Goldberg.
00:14:42.945 --> 00:14:45.945
we do a Google Burke set up at, throughout the office so that
00:14:46.052 --> 00:14:47.971
you know, they, they sell simple ones.
00:14:49.904 --> 00:14:51.164
well, but those are
00:14:51.261 --> 00:14:59.062
It just seems, it just seems very strange that Victor shows up just as we got all of our, we watched the severe surveillance equipment out of here.
00:15:00.552 --> 00:15:00.731
Yeah.
00:15:00.731 --> 00:15:05.532
I mean, I hate, I hate to say it, but like, I, I kind of wish we had access to that.
00:15:05.562 --> 00:15:07.782
Like we could just roll back the tape and,
00:15:08.121 --> 00:15:08.692
Right.
00:15:08.831 --> 00:15:10.182
and see what he was doing.
00:15:11.032 --> 00:15:11.662
yeah.
00:15:12.278 --> 00:15:12.727
Well,
00:15:12.835 --> 00:15:13.164
strange.
00:15:13.424 --> 00:15:14.804
Well, maybe.
00:15:15.548 --> 00:15:16.028
this will be.
00:15:16.144 --> 00:15:21.154
You know, I, I, I feel like, um, I'm responding from emotion here.
00:15:21.154 --> 00:15:25.774
I felt like, you know, it's my job to keep things secure.
00:15:25.865 --> 00:15:27.754
That security had been violated.
00:15:27.784 --> 00:15:29.674
I was feeling like a failure.
00:15:30.004 --> 00:15:34.085
Uh, and so I wanted to know like, is Victor doing this on purpose as he is?
00:15:34.085 --> 00:15:35.044
Is this an attack?
00:15:35.195 --> 00:15:37.534
But maybe I'm thinking about this too emotionally.
00:15:37.565 --> 00:15:39.605
Maybe Victor doesn't want anything.
00:15:40.294 --> 00:15:44.375
So before we go trapping him, is there anything we really want from.
00:15:46.139 --> 00:15:52.710
I mean, I think there's some information that I don't know you originally wanted from fixture.
00:15:53.070 --> 00:15:56.159
We've been able to overcome some of his,
00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:09.320
yeah, I mean, we're working well now I feel like, you know, it's, it was Richard that I was more interested in because he had his own bookkeeping and it turns out we painted over all of that.
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:09.590
And,
00:16:09.697 --> 00:16:10.028
Great.
00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:14.585
uh, I, you know, I don't know.
00:16:14.585 --> 00:16:16.595
I feel like things are working.
00:16:16.595 --> 00:16:17.225
Okay.
00:16:17.914 --> 00:16:24.034
Maybe this is me coming from a place of emotion, thinking about somebody who came before me and
00:16:24.628 --> 00:16:24.807
Um,
00:16:24.904 --> 00:16:27.394
their, their work better than I could.
00:16:27.394 --> 00:16:31.654
And the thought of them coming back is now something I'm pushing against.
00:16:32.649 --> 00:16:33.009
No.
00:16:33.009 --> 00:16:42.100
I mean, it, it, it reminds me of this time I was in Tibet and we were hiking and we're going to go hunt a snow leopard, but then we saw one and just the majesty of it.
00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:45.279
And we realized that it was better just to let it go.
00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:52.779
And I just feel like maybe for so long, I've been waiting for Victor to come back, but maybe we just have to let him pass through.
00:16:53.812 --> 00:16:59.182
I don't know, Eric, it seems like this was, this was tipped off by, by your Easter egg scheme.
00:17:00.572 --> 00:17:03.423
Are you a Z says feeling personal you in any way or
00:17:04.125 --> 00:17:11.595
I mean, it feels like a response, so I kind of feel obligated to continue to engage.
00:17:12.015 --> 00:17:12.525
Um,
00:17:13.053 --> 00:17:14.133
like a conversation.
00:17:14.835 --> 00:17:15.255
yeah.
00:17:15.464 --> 00:17:17.414
And maybe that's the, maybe that's the answer.
00:17:17.414 --> 00:17:20.714
We've put a one last egg on the contact us page.
00:17:22.758 --> 00:17:24.617
Oh, I left that.
00:17:25.643 --> 00:17:26.843
And maybe he'll reach out.
00:17:28.066 --> 00:17:28.336
Yeah,
00:17:28.595 --> 00:17:29.255
It's worth a try.
00:17:29.722 --> 00:17:30.083
Yeah.
00:17:30.905 --> 00:17:31.655
let's do it.
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:32.589
I'll uh,
00:17:32.722 --> 00:17:33.173
do it.
00:17:34.796 --> 00:17:35.786
What was that also?
00:17:35.786 --> 00:17:37.705
Your stand-up update, Eric, or did you have something.
00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:45.170
uh, yeah, I guess, I guess it, it turned out to be, um, they found the eggs and, um, I guess a lot of prices are going to Victor somehow.
00:17:45.289 --> 00:17:48.859
Um, although there was no, there was no physical address associated with that email.
00:17:49.590 --> 00:17:49.980
Yeah.
00:17:49.980 --> 00:17:53.310
I don't know how we're going to send him those Easter couches, but
00:17:53.549 --> 00:17:53.880
We'll see.
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:54.840
yep.
00:17:55.803 --> 00:18:01.353
I mean, we could also, you know, do want to send him one of our golden ticket to couches or, you know,
00:18:01.884 --> 00:18:01.974
I
00:18:02.133 --> 00:18:05.373
hide our message in the couch and an egg.
00:18:06.391 --> 00:18:06.721
That's true.
00:18:07.711 --> 00:18:08.131
Yeah.
00:18:08.221 --> 00:18:22.590
And I suppose if we, uh, we could drop a couch off at one of those like FedEx centers and then put a notice about the couch in the PO box that, um, was on at least a few of those email addresses so that he would go pick it up.
00:18:23.384 --> 00:18:25.724
I'll work with someone of your team.
00:18:25.785 --> 00:18:26.055
Okay.
00:18:26.691 --> 00:18:27.590
Okay, great.
00:18:28.813 --> 00:18:30.163
should I go, should I do my own.
00:18:31.141 --> 00:18:32.340
Yeah, of course.
00:18:32.520 --> 00:18:33.601
I mean, yeah.
00:18:34.627 --> 00:18:42.097
So as everyone knows, um, you know, Lars and David are full on wedding planning.
00:18:42.188 --> 00:18:47.107
Um, but they are actually planning a little beyond that.
00:18:47.317 --> 00:18:57.127
Um, and well, I guess this has been in the works for a little while, but I am going to be their surrogate.
00:18:57.458 --> 00:19:04.057
Um, I am pregnant and then I am actually having twins, but they only want one.
00:19:04.268 --> 00:19:09.998
So we get to choose and actually as sort of an a
00:19:10.590 --> 00:19:12.861
wait, whoa.
00:19:12.861 --> 00:19:13.621
A lot was happening.
00:19:14.086 --> 00:19:15.766
There is a lot going on.
00:19:15.998 --> 00:19:16.538
yeah.
00:19:16.627 --> 00:19:22.028
Um, so basically there there's a baby up for grabs and so no, no grabs.
00:19:22.028 --> 00:19:23.468
You should never grab babies.
00:19:23.827 --> 00:19:25.688
Um, but we.
00:19:26.917 --> 00:19:32.587
have multiple options of what we can do with them, with the baby, the second twin.
00:19:32.925 --> 00:19:38.566
don't you want to keep one of the children that you were growing and pushing out of your
00:19:39.377 --> 00:19:39.768
Well,
00:19:40.006 --> 00:19:40.576
well.
00:19:40.817 --> 00:19:48.167
I've always known, you know, that they were going to go to someone else who, who really had longed for a child.
00:19:48.228 --> 00:19:51.768
Um, you know, Lars Larson, Dave and I have talked about this.
00:19:51.768 --> 00:19:52.307
A good bet.
00:19:54.038 --> 00:19:58.988
So, I guess there's part of me that would be okay with, with someone else having it.
00:19:58.988 --> 00:20:04.597
But, you know, certainly I would never reject a child that chose me as his mother also.
00:20:05.077 --> 00:20:10.417
Um, the, the thing is a few of our investors have asked me this before.
00:20:10.718 --> 00:20:14.827
Um, but I have a bit of a waiting list, uh, for surrogacy and florists.
00:20:14.827 --> 00:20:16.057
And David had asked first.
00:20:16.087 --> 00:20:22.508
So I guess I'm trying to figure out if we should work this into the series, a, um, paperwork.
00:20:23.760 --> 00:20:25.381
no, no.
00:20:25.715 --> 00:20:25.925
we
00:20:26.431 --> 00:20:27.961
what do you suggest?
00:20:28.020 --> 00:20:28.941
I know that we.
00:20:29.776 --> 00:20:42.226
Listen, it's been a hard growth time and we've engaged in, you know, uh, cutting down of special forests and, uh, violating the endangered species act.
00:20:42.256 --> 00:20:46.306
But this would be adding pretty much human trafficking.
00:20:46.635 --> 00:20:48.556
Yeah, Um,
00:20:48.863 --> 00:20:51.292
It counts even if it's well, yeah, it counts.
00:20:52.246 --> 00:20:53.326
I mean, you seem very
00:20:53.385 --> 00:20:54.465
think it counts twice.
00:20:54.526 --> 00:20:55.455
I think it counts.
00:20:56.056 --> 00:21:00.256
Even if you volunteer, I think it counts for you and for the baby,
00:21:00.810 --> 00:21:01.590
Yeah.
00:21:02.875 --> 00:21:04.576
logistically, uh, series.
00:21:04.576 --> 00:21:06.286
They should be close before.
00:21:06.465 --> 00:21:07.816
Uh, yeah.
00:21:07.875 --> 00:21:08.205
So.
00:21:08.333 --> 00:21:09.053
true.
00:21:09.385 --> 00:21:13.496
Th that let's just defer for purely planning reasons.
00:21:13.885 --> 00:21:15.685
Let's just move past that.
00:21:17.042 --> 00:21:17.883
I mean, it doesn't have to be.
00:21:18.607 --> 00:21:19.627
It doesn't have to be a paperwork.
00:21:19.657 --> 00:21:24.067
It could be a handshake deal, you know, like you get to adopt this baby.
00:21:26.165 --> 00:21:26.885
absolutely.
00:21:26.885 --> 00:21:31.115
That I've gone to, I am always, always willing to do whatever it takes.
00:21:31.115 --> 00:21:35.976
And Kate, you take that to it very next level, but I'm going to have to care about.
00:21:36.691 --> 00:21:45.391
Uh, putting a human life as a contingent of absolutely anything, either over the table or it's actually worse for it to be under the table.
00:21:45.421 --> 00:21:45.750
Okay.
00:21:46.057 --> 00:21:46.298
Yeah.
00:21:47.407 --> 00:21:47.617
Okay.
00:21:48.488 --> 00:21:49.178
Okay,
00:21:49.925 --> 00:22:00.615
I want to, I want to pause it and I'm sorry for, cause I brought some really low, uh, kind of dark energy into this meeting and maybe that's, that's clinging a little bit.
00:22:01.990 --> 00:22:02.411
a breath.
00:22:02.471 --> 00:22:06.161
And I just want to say Kate, uh, congratulations.
00:22:06.790 --> 00:22:07.780
Like that's huge.
00:22:07.810 --> 00:22:09.221
That's huge news all around.
00:22:09.671 --> 00:22:10.601
That's big for you.
00:22:11.070 --> 00:22:12.931
about the maternal energy.
00:22:12.931 --> 00:22:20.641
I've been sensing it for weeks, and I am just so excited for you to bring that light into the office every day.
00:22:20.641 --> 00:22:21.721
And for you.
00:22:22.597 --> 00:22:23.018
Thank you.
00:22:23.018 --> 00:22:26.077
And I hope you don't, I'm not going to be taking maternity leave.
00:22:26.077 --> 00:22:28.478
I don't want you all to worry about anything like that.
00:22:28.538 --> 00:22:31.837
Um, I mean, I'm not really the mother, so it wouldn't be appropriate.
00:22:32.768 --> 00:22:32.978
Um,
00:22:33.016 --> 00:22:37.635
But you are, your body is changing in, in amazing ways.
00:22:37.635 --> 00:22:43.185
And birth is a strenuous process on the female body.
00:22:43.185 --> 00:22:46.365
So I feel like you need to take some time to heal.
00:22:48.192 --> 00:22:48.583
Yes.
00:22:49.026 --> 00:22:51.645
to like, literally literally let your body heal.
00:22:52.770 --> 00:22:53.280
Yeah.
00:22:53.280 --> 00:23:00.990
I mean, I can refer you to a very wonderful doula that I do yoga with, who can really help you.
00:23:00.990 --> 00:23:13.471
And she actually recommends that mothers physically lock themselves in a room for 30 days afterwards to have that mental and spirit and body replenishing period.
00:23:14.813 --> 00:23:15.502
Okay.
00:23:15.593 --> 00:23:20.692
Um, maybe I can, I can work from that room, you know, as long as we have internet, there's still a lot I can do.
00:23:21.143 --> 00:23:23.123
Um, but yeah, maybe you're right.
00:23:23.123 --> 00:23:27.173
I can't do as much couch moving or packing or warehousing.
00:23:27.587 --> 00:23:27.887
Um,
00:23:28.971 --> 00:23:31.611
yeah, Kate, you're not supposed to be doing that stuff anyway.
00:23:31.641 --> 00:23:34.641
That's that's all warehouse team stuff that you've delegated.
00:23:35.371 --> 00:23:35.881
right.
00:23:37.188 --> 00:23:37.577
right.
00:23:39.337 --> 00:23:40.238
Delegation.
00:23:40.417 --> 00:23:42.847
That is a goal that I'm working on.
00:23:44.198 --> 00:23:44.498
Yeah.
00:23:45.097 --> 00:23:50.508
There are other people on that team some days a week, but
00:23:50.593 --> 00:23:51.883
a, there's a waiting list.
00:23:53.827 --> 00:23:55.268
uh, for my womb.
00:23:57.113 --> 00:23:58.073
Yeah, I guess.
00:23:58.553 --> 00:23:59.123
Yes.
00:23:59.492 --> 00:23:59.903
And.
00:24:01.282 --> 00:24:16.222
So it's, it's an interesting program actually, where you can get some testing done when you're in your, I guess, really anywhere between 18 to 25, um, it'll assess how fertile you are and how good of a carrier you would be for human life.
00:24:16.583 --> 00:24:25.163
Um, and I was in the top 5%, uh, so like I just excellent genetics for our creating human life.
00:24:25.492 --> 00:24:28.313
And so, I mean, imagine.
00:24:29.063 --> 00:24:36.923
If you had like a dozen kidneys in your body, would you not want to donate those to people who need a kidneys?
00:24:37.042 --> 00:24:38.712
Like that's that's.
00:24:38.962 --> 00:24:41.182
I think the gift that my body has given me,
00:24:42.307 --> 00:24:46.717
I mean, I guess if you put it that, but hang on.
00:24:46.777 --> 00:24:53.196
What program was this like through your university or a church or.
00:24:54.384 --> 00:24:55.865
um, No.
00:24:55.865 --> 00:25:00.964
Yeah, no, it's through the, uh, the holistic medical center of, um, the Northeast.
00:25:02.085 --> 00:25:03.795
I've never, yeah, just, I'm sorry.
00:25:03.795 --> 00:25:04.515
I've never, I've
00:25:04.663 --> 00:25:13.423
I mean, they're not accredited by any specific institution, but they have, have built up a lot of their own institutional knowledge over the couple of years they've been around.
00:25:13.512 --> 00:25:20.353
Um, but anyway, yeah, it was just, I got on their wires and David were talking to me.
00:25:20.353 --> 00:25:20.413
Yeah.
00:25:21.053 --> 00:25:27.532
There hope for having children one day during lunch, I mentioned it, you know, they went on there, got on the wait list.
00:25:27.532 --> 00:25:39.022
And like, it's kind of one of these things where like, once someone gets on your wait list, other people start like eyeing you and your, uh, all that DNA and genetic information on there.
00:25:39.022 --> 00:25:40.373
And then they sign up.
00:25:43.585 --> 00:25:44.065
wow.
00:25:45.410 --> 00:25:45.710
Kate.
00:25:45.710 --> 00:25:49.430
I have to say that's, um, a plus marketing.
00:25:49.460 --> 00:25:56.269
I CRE I have a lot of questions about this, but it is your body and your choice.
00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:00.650
Um, choose better for the baby.
00:26:01.369 --> 00:26:12.200
yeah, I don't think just in, certainly not in this meeting, but I think in this cohort, um, we should not be deciding the disposition of.
00:26:12.342 --> 00:26:12.612
Yes.
00:26:14.335 --> 00:26:18.025
Extra child, um, bonus baby.
00:26:18.248 --> 00:26:19.688
I guess I, yeah, I'm just,
00:26:20.555 --> 00:26:21.095
Yeah.
00:26:21.337 --> 00:26:21.847
mine?
00:26:22.327 --> 00:26:23.407
That's the real question.
00:26:24.337 --> 00:26:26.678
David and contributed to this child.
00:26:26.678 --> 00:26:28.208
They just don't want a second.
00:26:28.538 --> 00:26:29.167
Um,
00:26:30.894 --> 00:26:35.365
I mean, the law is pretty clear that you are the biological mother.
00:26:37.387 --> 00:26:37.778
Hmm.
00:26:37.904 --> 00:26:39.375
it pretty much every Jersey.
00:26:39.896 --> 00:26:40.287
yeah.
00:26:40.875 --> 00:26:42.375
this is a big choice.
00:26:42.375 --> 00:26:47.174
Was this not a discussion that you had before pregnancy?
00:26:48.897 --> 00:26:52.798
I mean, we expected there to be one and they would take it, you know, when you're a surrogate.
00:26:53.827 --> 00:26:54.907
You're kind of a vessel.
00:26:54.907 --> 00:27:05.146
You're not so much a I just thought of myself as a, as a human vessel, you know, like a train or plane,
00:27:06.384 --> 00:27:06.743
Kate.
00:27:06.743 --> 00:27:11.213
I just want to wrap you up in a Cuban papoose and just hold you for a second.
00:27:11.634 --> 00:27:12.114
Um,
00:27:13.833 --> 00:27:15.303
sad that you're cross the table.
00:27:16.593 --> 00:27:16.893
Yeah.
00:27:17.509 --> 00:27:17.869
yeah.
00:27:20.153 --> 00:27:21.442
uh, we can talk about this more.
00:27:21.442 --> 00:27:23.903
I understand this is a big decision for all of us and we
00:27:24.290 --> 00:27:25.971
it's not actually.
00:27:26.170 --> 00:27:26.950
our decision.
00:27:28.067 --> 00:27:28.727
not involved.
00:27:29.619 --> 00:27:30.160
Yeah.
00:27:30.549 --> 00:27:31.150
Um,
00:27:31.232 --> 00:27:31.762
just off your own.
00:27:31.762 --> 00:27:32.113
Leave me.
00:27:32.590 --> 00:27:35.770
I, I, I hate to close the door like this.
00:27:35.800 --> 00:27:38.230
Uh, Kate, I, I care about you very much.
00:27:38.230 --> 00:27:39.401
I want good things for you.
00:27:39.401 --> 00:27:42.191
I think I want better things for you than you do.
00:27:42.250 --> 00:27:47.711
Um, but I have to recuse myself from this.
00:27:47.711 --> 00:27:52.330
This is not something that in the context of this company, that we can really talk.
00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:54.759
Yeah, I
00:27:56.935 --> 00:27:57.516
no,
00:27:57.579 --> 00:27:58.269
know.
00:27:58.269 --> 00:28:03.099
We've, we've covered this Kate and we've also talked about boundaries.
00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:16.180
Um, so Kathy, on this side of the wall is going to say, we don't want anything to do with that baby and Kathy, on this side of the wall as your, you know, not friend friendly.
00:28:16.994 --> 00:28:18.494
Persona in your life.
00:28:18.585 --> 00:28:32.684
A maternal figure is going to say, we should have a serious talk about this baby and figure out a good place that everybody feels comfortable with, but that is your decision and should not be anything we talk about here.
00:28:37.587 --> 00:28:38.157
okay.
00:28:38.397 --> 00:28:41.397
Um, what was the, what was your standup
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:43.049
Yeah, of course.
00:28:43.049 --> 00:28:43.349
Yeah.
00:28:43.380 --> 00:28:45.599
I can, uh, wrap it up.
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:46.200
Wow.
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:48.630
It's been a really emotional day.
00:28:48.660 --> 00:28:50.730
Uh, just, just amazing.
00:28:50.730 --> 00:28:57.750
So I guess it, it, you know, um, we have a storefront in the metaverse,
00:28:58.247 --> 00:28:58.696
Oh,
00:28:59.351 --> 00:29:00.790
So we sell couches
00:29:02.018 --> 00:29:03.458
uh, virtual couches.
00:29:03.458 --> 00:29:03.938
Yes.
00:29:03.938 --> 00:29:05.377
So, um,
00:29:05.441 --> 00:29:06.191
buy virtual.
00:29:06.191 --> 00:29:06.431
You mean?
00:29:08.904 --> 00:29:09.414
digital.
00:29:09.698 --> 00:29:10.357
digital.
00:29:10.792 --> 00:29:11.512
digital.
00:29:11.678 --> 00:29:12.038
They have no
00:29:12.076 --> 00:29:13.276
same definition.
00:29:13.488 --> 00:29:14.387
In the physical world?
00:29:14.387 --> 00:29:16.458
No, no physical representation.
00:29:16.732 --> 00:29:18.863
We have no physical representation though.
00:29:18.863 --> 00:29:21.323
We have the option to add that if we would like it.
00:29:23.827 --> 00:29:24.907
yeah, it's pretty cool.
00:29:24.938 --> 00:29:28.448
I'm really glad to see the south by Southwest assets not go to waste.
00:29:28.762 --> 00:29:29.093
Yeah.
00:29:29.317 --> 00:29:39.728
cause yeah, there were, there was a lot of work doing all of that couch, just situation, um, is who is renting.
00:29:40.563 --> 00:29:42.512
These couches buying the couches.
00:29:42.692 --> 00:29:47.313
What is, what did we settle on for these virtual couches in the metaverse?
00:29:47.857 --> 00:29:48.337
Yeah.
00:29:48.337 --> 00:29:57.758
So actually we are selling it for more than couches are in the real life because, uh, metaverse real estate is at a premium.
00:29:57.758 --> 00:30:04.028
We had to pay a lot for our land in the metaverse and it seems like people really want premium couches.
00:30:04.028 --> 00:30:07.298
So, you know, we're really focusing on with our couch building.
00:30:08.182 --> 00:30:10.792
Couches that don't exist in, can exist in the world.
00:30:10.792 --> 00:30:15.923
So we just sold our first couch yacht, uh, for a hundred thousand dollars.
00:30:15.952 --> 00:30:17.182
And, um,
00:30:17.236 --> 00:30:18.465
Oh, real dollars.
00:30:19.583 --> 00:30:21.413
yeah, I been Crip
00:30:21.712 --> 00:30:23.542
I, yeah, it's virtual currency.
00:30:23.813 --> 00:30:29.782
That, that we then have to do several trades and, uh, find a lot of paperwork to turn into.
00:30:30.817 --> 00:30:31.417
Exactly.
00:30:31.417 --> 00:30:48.337
So, I mean, between the several trays that we have to make between various crypto and real currencies, it actually turns out to be about 50,000 in like U S currency, which is still a pretty good for a couch, you know?
00:30:48.367 --> 00:30:51.877
Um, I would say we probably can only do one of those.
00:30:51.877 --> 00:30:54.488
We made a pretty big PR campaign about'em.
00:30:54.817 --> 00:30:57.337
Um, and honestly that's the only couch we've sold.
00:30:57.337 --> 00:30:58.988
So, um,
00:31:01.113 --> 00:31:04.143
It's I, you know, don't, don't feel bad about that.
00:31:04.262 --> 00:31:10.083
Califia, um, metaverse stuff it's really, it's really tough market.
00:31:10.173 --> 00:31:16.893
And you know, we're basically, we're competing against huge artists, right?
00:31:16.893 --> 00:31:24.002
With like millions of followers, people who are like super well known, who've worked to auction their art at Sotheby's.
00:31:24.603 --> 00:31:28.998
Uh, so the fact that we sold one like that, That's great.
00:31:29.448 --> 00:31:29.837
Yeah.
00:31:29.903 --> 00:31:30.413
Yeah.
00:31:30.413 --> 00:31:35.363
I mean, I do think like you're right, it is a space in which artists could Excel at this.
00:31:35.363 --> 00:31:49.397
So given that our team is a pretty creative team, we look forward to trying to, you know, pitch what we can in there and then maybe make some money, you know, um, At least pay for our rent on our land.
00:31:49.397 --> 00:31:52.847
I mean, metaverse real estate is just getting crazy these days.
00:31:52.970 --> 00:31:53.329
Yeah.
00:31:54.435 --> 00:31:58.395
is it also illegal to sell babies in the middle?
00:32:00.077 --> 00:32:01.847
Oh, almost a hundred percent.
00:32:01.988 --> 00:32:02.627
Yeah.
00:32:04.067 --> 00:32:10.548
I think that that's just Kate, probably the rule of the universe.
00:32:10.577 --> 00:32:17.087
Ultimately selling, selling things in the metaverse, uh, follows the same laws as selling them anywhere else.
00:32:18.077 --> 00:32:20.538
It's just a question of how well they're being enforced.
00:32:22.770 --> 00:32:25.013
That's important, but.
00:32:25.310 --> 00:32:26.601
it be okay?
00:32:27.098 --> 00:32:28.058
Couch yacht.
00:32:28.179 --> 00:32:29.169
Yay.
00:32:29.451 --> 00:32:29.961
Yeah.
00:32:30.421 --> 00:32:30.750
Yeah.
00:32:30.861 --> 00:32:31.030
Thanks.
00:32:31.080 --> 00:32:34.621
And congratulations, Kate really?
00:32:34.681 --> 00:32:44.431
I mean, I feel like we went through a lot today, you know, and, um, we should just really celebrate, celebrate you and becoming a mother.
00:32:45.098 --> 00:32:46.358
It's not about me.
00:32:46.808 --> 00:32:48.068
I mean, it's not about all of me.
00:32:48.068 --> 00:32:52.209
It's about, it's about a few specific organs, you know, so.
00:32:55.763 --> 00:32:56.574
But thank you.
00:32:57.683 --> 00:32:58.824
I do like cupcakes.
00:32:59.492 --> 00:33:01.143
We can get you some cupcakes.
00:33:01.826 --> 00:33:02.066
Great.
00:33:02.336 --> 00:33:06.776
Now actually, I can't eat cupcakes right now because, um, if I have anything that tastes like sugar, right.
00:33:06.836 --> 00:33:08.215
I get nauseous and vomit.
00:33:10.005 --> 00:33:10.515
a couple months.
00:33:11.375 --> 00:33:11.855
Yeah.
00:33:12.032 --> 00:33:12.512
Yeah.
00:33:14.105 --> 00:33:16.056
Um, great.
00:33:16.145 --> 00:33:18.066
Any final things or should we just wrap up?
00:33:19.949 --> 00:33:23.098
um, I'm going to set a basket up in the break room.
00:33:23.219 --> 00:33:26.969
Uh, if folks could just start dropping off the eggs that they find.
00:33:27.719 --> 00:33:31.108
I would like to figure out if there's some other message here.
00:33:31.199 --> 00:33:37.499
Uh, and I'm really hoping we turn up all 255, I guess, 256 with the new one coming

That's also my website and I'm the CTO here at CIT.
00:01:54.742 --> 00:02:03.471

00:02:03.621 --> 00:02:04.641
Um, the
00:02:04.867 --> 00:02:05.766
Oh, no.
00:02:06.531 --> 00:02:09.322
uh, I've got, I've got big news for the standard.
00:02:10.056 --> 00:02:10.956
As well.
00:02:11.016 --> 00:02:16.717
Uh, so I guess in a good news, bad news DLT, I want the bad news first get out of the way, rip the band-aid off.
00:02:17.097 --> 00:02:17.396
Yeah.
00:02:17.396 --> 00:02:18.986
Let's yeah, definitely.
00:02:19.467 --> 00:02:19.856
Okay.
00:02:20.067 --> 00:02:26.516
Um, there's been a pretty big security breach in the server room.
00:02:27.447 --> 00:02:38.217
Um, still haven't figured out who got in, uh, we're checking everybody's key cards, um, physical access, physical keys.
00:02:39.306 --> 00:03:07.236
Uh, so, you know, I would love actually, any information that anyone in this room might have, um, because we have been turning up painted eggs inside of the cabinets, uh, behind the keyboards, uh, in the patch cable walls, um, mini fridge, all kinds of things that are in what is supposed to be a physically secure.
00:03:08.586 --> 00:03:17.736
Very carefully access controlled room and, uh, you know, like, uh, love celebrating holidays around the office.
00:03:17.766 --> 00:03:18.697
It's very fun.
00:03:18.697 --> 00:03:19.597
Scavenger hunt.
00:03:19.956 --> 00:03:26.616
Ha the that's a no, that's a no for me on the server room and somebody did it up in there.
00:03:27.134 --> 00:03:28.694
W what kind of eggs?
00:03:28.956 --> 00:03:31.116
You know, what kind of eggs, Kate, please.
00:03:32.495 --> 00:03:37.895
I just want to know if it's the same kind of hollowed out painted eggs that I've been finding in the fridge.
00:03:39.481 --> 00:03:51.782
Yeah, I assume so there they're just regular eggs that have been blown out and painstakingly decorated in paints, sparkles, glitter, uh, some nice ink to drawings.
00:03:51.812 --> 00:03:52.711
Uh, the occasional.
00:03:54.788 --> 00:03:56.769
Nah, I don't know a lot.
00:03:56.769 --> 00:04:11.239
I keep saying this, but as I've said every, every day for the last week, The Easter egg hunt that Iran was digital entirely that it was only on the website and my good news for today.
00:04:11.239 --> 00:04:13.459
It was going to be that somebody finally found the last egg.
00:04:13.758 --> 00:04:16.579
And so we've distributed all the prizes and
00:04:16.976 --> 00:04:17.726
that's great.
00:04:17.757 --> 00:04:18.057
That's
00:04:18.139 --> 00:04:20.449
feels like, it feels like you don't believe me, that all of them are digital
00:04:20.637 --> 00:04:21.507
No, I didn't.
00:04:22.627 --> 00:04:24.726
I know your team put a lot of work into that.
00:04:24.757 --> 00:04:26.166
And, um,
00:04:26.189 --> 00:04:26.668
the doers.
00:04:27.247 --> 00:04:30.247
yeah, I mean, it was, uh, they had a lot of fun with it.
00:04:30.276 --> 00:04:36.666
Believe me, there was just a lot of like giggling and glee as those things were going in.
00:04:36.997 --> 00:04:38.197
And so it's super nice.
00:04:38.257 --> 00:04:42.427
Uh, also that, you know, uh, we can give out those prices.
00:04:42.427 --> 00:04:46.447
We can pull, pull those from the app and can go back to the last build.
00:04:46.596 --> 00:04:50.976
Um, no, and I, I, they don't, they don't look anything like yours.
00:04:51.470 --> 00:04:53.569
I know a way to resolve this, Eric.
00:04:53.569 --> 00:04:58.730
I know you've been dealing with this disbelief, but could you define digital?
00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:06.009
think maybe Matt isn't understanding what you mean by digital.
00:05:06.490 --> 00:05:07.300
That's probably the case.
00:05:08.004 --> 00:05:17.124
I think, I think of, I think we all do, but I think especially Matt understands what, what I mean by digital there that are images on the
00:05:17.451 --> 00:05:40.161
Yeah, they exist only in a virtual space as rendered by our website and our application that, that in, I assumed that you meant that in no way were these physical eggs that had been hollowed out and die, died, uh, painstakingly decorated, and then hidden in locations around this building, including what is supposed to be a securely locked.
00:05:40.975 --> 00:05:41.334
Okay.
00:05:41.535 --> 00:05:41.925
And,
00:05:41.971 --> 00:05:42.601
solve this.
00:05:42.601 --> 00:05:45.422
Could have we broken, open one of the eggs
00:05:46.569 --> 00:05:49.089
no, I mean, they're, they're very light.
00:05:49.810 --> 00:05:50.889
They seem hollow to me.
00:05:51.553 --> 00:05:51.884
okay.
00:05:51.913 --> 00:05:56.113
Can, um, can one of you provide me with an egg to open?
00:05:57.850 --> 00:05:58.810
Yeah.
00:05:58.815 --> 00:05:59.206
I've got
00:05:59.766 --> 00:06:00.307
They're kind of
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:01.720
Oh, you've been finding them too.
00:06:01.750 --> 00:06:02.199
Yeah.
00:06:03.129 --> 00:06:03.279
Yeah.
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:03.639
Here you go.
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:03.730
Okay.
00:06:04.374 --> 00:06:04.733
Okay.
00:06:04.913 --> 00:06:06.353
I know I I'm.
00:06:06.473 --> 00:06:09.473
I honestly curious, cause we haven't found them around the creative team.
00:06:09.533 --> 00:06:15.293
Um, they don't match any of the artistic signatures of any of the creative folks.
00:06:15.293 --> 00:06:17.033
You know, I know their artwork really well.
00:06:17.033 --> 00:06:20.244
I look at it, I know their style and if I crack it.
00:06:22.538 --> 00:06:22.928
Yeah.
00:06:23.019 --> 00:06:23.528
Yep.
00:06:23.858 --> 00:06:26.769
You get a little V for vendetta trading card.
00:06:26.798 --> 00:06:28.959
This is definitely the work of Victor.
00:06:31.115 --> 00:06:31.805
Victor.
00:06:31.834 --> 00:06:32.704
Victor's on yours.
00:06:34.158 --> 00:06:35.238
Now Victor's on.
00:06:35.615 --> 00:06:37.384
Wait that Victor
00:06:38.021 --> 00:06:38.740
Victor, Victor.
00:06:38.809 --> 00:06:39.769
of on all teams.
00:06:39.769 --> 00:06:42.139
I mean, he started, you know, in the very
00:06:42.141 --> 00:06:43.641
before teams.
00:06:43.819 --> 00:06:46.278
uh, when we really were kind of all in on this.
00:06:46.574 --> 00:06:49.095
but nobody's seen Victor.
00:06:49.845 --> 00:06:51.105
I mean, since before I got.
00:06:51.728 --> 00:06:52.598
I agree.
00:06:52.598 --> 00:07:05.259
It's, um, it's very alarming, but I mean, he, he was a big holiday guy fixture and I mean, he, as you know, his first initial, his fee and he was really interviewed for vendetta.
00:07:05.588 --> 00:07:10.838
I mean, this, this sounds like an old Victor screw around, you know,
00:07:12.298 --> 00:07:22.348
I should have seen it leaving the creative team alone, especially targeting the areas that would make us think security, breach, something bad has happened, you know?
00:07:22.858 --> 00:07:23.218
So.
00:07:24.047 --> 00:07:24.377
Yeah.
00:07:24.406 --> 00:07:31.726
And, um, it would also just explain the single happy meal I found on my desk a couple of days ago.
00:07:33.124 --> 00:07:36.353
so like kind of a calling card.
00:07:36.353 --> 00:07:41.454
Was there, is there anything about the happy meal that kind of tipped you off?
00:07:41.483 --> 00:07:41.814
That it was.
00:07:42.728 --> 00:07:47.348
No honestly, uh, was, was very, was very interested.
00:07:47.348 --> 00:07:54.009
I mean, it was like a happy meal with a like Mick fish filet in it, which I didn't even know they put in happy meals.
00:07:54.009 --> 00:07:54.999
So I just thought that.
00:07:54.999 --> 00:08:00.009
it was like some, I just thought originally it was like an F you to our new fish policy.
00:08:00.009 --> 00:08:03.158
And somebody was just doing that in a horrific way.
00:08:03.249 --> 00:08:06.959
Um, you know, some members of my team had been taking it hard.
00:08:07.749 --> 00:08:08.199
It's.
00:08:08.259 --> 00:08:09.338
I mean, they are vegan.
00:08:09.338 --> 00:08:13.449
They just don't like to have limitations placed on their body or life.
00:08:13.538 --> 00:08:17.559
Um, so I thought originally it was just, you know, something like that.
00:08:17.559 --> 00:08:20.678
It's a big corporation, it's a fish, that kind of stuff.
00:08:20.709 --> 00:08:23.019
But now it makes sense.
00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:34.211
I mean, you know, as you all know, we met fixture in a McDonald's parking lot and this could, this could be a side assignment he's back.
00:08:34.958 --> 00:08:42.038
I just, uh, looked up the email address of all of the people who found the digital Easter eggs.
00:08:42.038 --> 00:08:48.339
And over 60% of them are from a V Norse fire.
00:08:49.384 --> 00:08:52.563
Aol.com that's that's gotta be him.
00:08:53.231 --> 00:08:54.192
It's gotta be him.
00:08:54.950 --> 00:09:00.080
so he found the eggs and the digital hunt and placed the eggs and the physical.
00:09:01.142 --> 00:09:02.552
That's actually very true.
00:09:02.552 --> 00:09:14.822
I mean, Matt, didn't you say one of the reasons why you suspected Eric was because all of the eggs match, the like designed eggs at the art department had put up.
00:09:15.302 --> 00:09:21.001
Yeah, well, I mean, you know, the, the art is like cute eight bit digital picture pixel art.
00:09:21.062 --> 00:09:28.922
And so yeah, if someone with like incredible artistic skill had taken those as inspiration and done them in.
00:09:29.677 --> 00:09:32.586
Baroque styles, a impressionist.
00:09:32.586 --> 00:09:34.447
I mean, these are,
00:09:35.453 --> 00:09:36.354
Masterpieces.
00:09:36.427 --> 00:09:36.846
yeah.
00:09:36.876 --> 00:09:46.086
And I guess, I guess, yeah, they look like, well, wait, how many, remind me, Eric, how many stickers were in the app to find?
00:09:48.187 --> 00:09:51.037
Okay, well, my team has.
00:09:51.937 --> 00:09:58.687
Two dozen out of the server room in the last few days, uh, Kate, you said you've been finding them in the break room and other places.
00:09:58.716 --> 00:10:00.216
How, how many have you found so far?
00:10:02.703 --> 00:10:02.974
Yeah.
00:10:03.124 --> 00:10:05.793
Our teams come up with like, I think 18 or 19.
00:10:06.004 --> 00:10:07.803
So I don't know about 52.
00:10:10.687 --> 00:10:11.437
have a lot of eggs too.
00:10:11.621 --> 00:10:15.101
Yeah, that seems like a lot of eggs to find, but it does make sense.
00:10:15.101 --> 00:10:32.532
I mean, with the artistic, I mean, we all know that Victor was a, uh, into art forgery before he found us that's like, and actually came really into handy because he was able to connect us, you know, with a lot of his former clients became some of our first investors and said, okay,
00:10:36.682 --> 00:10:37.642
What do you think he wants?
00:10:38.996 --> 00:10:39.986
I don't know.
00:10:40.017 --> 00:10:55.616
I mean, you know, I usually am pretty good at speaking Victor, so to speak, but, um, you know, he, he likes to play games and things like that, but, you know, usually comes out of the shadows a lot sooner than this.
00:10:57.866 --> 00:11:03.687
I've always left notes and that McDonald's parking lot, making it very clear if you wanted to come back.
00:11:03.716 --> 00:11:09.057
Like we would, I mean, we have a lot of questions for him, but like we would welcome him back.
00:11:09.057 --> 00:11:09.777
So
00:11:09.817 --> 00:11:13.506
I mean, I have questions, like how did he get into the room?
00:11:13.596 --> 00:11:17.616
Like we've, we've revamped the entire access control system.
00:11:17.616 --> 00:11:19.326
None of those locks should be the same.
00:11:19.447 --> 00:11:24.336
Uh, and if he badged in with somebody's badge, those logs have been erased.
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:26.379
we have to find the
00:11:26.586 --> 00:11:27.817
is he's he's good.
00:11:27.937 --> 00:11:28.057
Yeah.
00:11:28.782 --> 00:11:29.201
Yeah.
00:11:29.231 --> 00:11:35.022
I mean, as, as, I well know, I thought I was great, but even I activated the bees.
00:11:35.624 --> 00:11:35.894
Right.
00:11:37.409 --> 00:11:38.470
None of the bees were out.
00:11:39.287 --> 00:11:42.287
No, none of the mechanisms in there were tripped.
00:11:42.287 --> 00:11:46.986
Also, just to be clear, we did not reload the bees after they went off on UK.
00:11:46.986 --> 00:11:49.397
Califia no, we went, we went with a different system.
00:11:49.517 --> 00:11:51.797
Uh, so it won't be it.
00:11:51.817 --> 00:11:54.197
If you decide to come in again, it won't be business.
00:11:55.481 --> 00:11:56.682
That's good to know.
00:11:57.522 --> 00:12:08.951
I mean, I'm tempted to try, you know, just to try to figure out how Victor could have gotten in, but I must admit his skills were always more impressive than mine in that field.
00:12:09.432 --> 00:12:11.261
And this is another example of that.
00:12:12.249 --> 00:12:14.528
we could put another egg up on the site.
00:12:15.668 --> 00:12:16.568
See if he comes back.
00:12:17.006 --> 00:12:17.787
Oh,
00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:20.490
then wouldn't that create one more egg in our office?
00:12:20.490 --> 00:12:20.820
We have two.
00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:21.500
And
00:12:21.568 --> 00:12:24.448
exactly You'd have to, he'd have to, he'd have to deliver it.
00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:27.000
so we w we could try to catch.
00:12:28.051 --> 00:12:28.860
Hmm.
00:12:30.091 --> 00:12:30.870
All right, hang on.
00:12:30.931 --> 00:12:32.610
Let let's pull up the app.
00:12:32.671 --> 00:12:50.341
Uh, Eric, I'm trying to remember, um, I want to say 24, the two dozen that were found in the server room that matches the same number and type is that right of the ones that we had in the settings pages of the.
00:12:53.900 --> 00:12:54.591
Yeah.
00:12:55.041 --> 00:12:55.880
Oh, this is,
00:12:56.104 --> 00:12:58.594
He considers your tech team.
00:12:58.624 --> 00:13:00.484
The settings of our company
00:13:01.140 --> 00:13:01.740
Yeah.
00:13:02.988 --> 00:13:03.197
Hmm.
00:13:03.931 --> 00:13:04.350
Okay.
00:13:04.350 --> 00:13:09.451
And then, oh, uh, I don't know.
00:13:10.140 --> 00:13:14.100
Would it be, I mean, kind of operate behind the scenes
00:13:14.298 --> 00:13:15.227
Important, but not.
00:13:17.354 --> 00:13:18.583
how many eggs were on the home?
00:13:21.123 --> 00:13:25.513
Uh, let's see 16.
00:13:26.509 --> 00:13:28.849
That's the number I found in John's office.
00:13:30.605 --> 00:13:31.326
okay.
00:13:31.332 --> 00:13:31.802
Okay.
00:13:33.140 --> 00:13:33.500
let's see.
00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:36.770
I remember we had a bunch behind the temporary word, old game.
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.751
Uh, Yeah.
00:13:39.812 --> 00:13:42.451
Wait, Kate, remind me how many you found in the break room?
00:13:44.384 --> 00:13:48.195
18, no 14, 14,
00:13:49.022 --> 00:13:51.272
Well, yeah.
00:13:51.302 --> 00:13:51.422
Okay.
00:13:51.451 --> 00:13:51.751
Sorry.
00:13:51.751 --> 00:13:54.451
I'm having to solve the, uh,
00:13:54.465 --> 00:13:55.544
That is where I do work.
00:13:56.402 --> 00:13:57.662
Uh, yeah.
00:13:57.692 --> 00:13:58.322
14.
00:14:00.812 --> 00:14:01.231
Okay.
00:14:01.231 --> 00:14:05.101
So, so we just need to put a new Easter egg in the.
00:14:06.511 --> 00:14:09.001
Somewhere that corresponds to a place.
00:14:09.001 --> 00:14:12.511
We want Victor to put an egg here.
00:14:13.567 --> 00:14:15.397
What's the easiest place to stake out.
00:14:15.621 --> 00:14:16.251
Yeah.
00:14:16.491 --> 00:14:17.032
Yeah.
00:14:18.111 --> 00:14:20.662
Set up a watch, set up some live cameras.
00:14:21.615 --> 00:14:22.065
yeah.
00:14:22.065 --> 00:14:24.634
And one of those, um, one of those sorts of.
00:14:25.335 --> 00:14:30.225
Metal baskets that falls when someone stands under it and catches them.
00:14:30.629 --> 00:14:31.558
the mousetrap.
00:14:32.485 --> 00:14:34.434
Yeah, but for humans,
00:14:35.371 --> 00:14:36.152
Yeah, man trap.
00:14:36.494 --> 00:14:36.854
Yeah,
00:14:38.251 --> 00:14:38.432
Yeah.
00:14:38.432 --> 00:14:38.971
We looked at a
00:14:39.006 --> 00:14:40.326
Rube Goldberg.
00:14:42.945 --> 00:14:45.945
we do a Google Burke set up at, throughout the office so that
00:14:46.052 --> 00:14:47.971
you know, they, they sell simple ones.
00:14:49.904 --> 00:14:51.164
well, but those are
00:14:51.261 --> 00:14:59.062
It just seems, it just seems very strange that Victor shows up just as we got all of our, we watched the severe surveillance equipment out of here.
00:15:00.552 --> 00:15:00.731
Yeah.
00:15:00.731 --> 00:15:05.532
I mean, I hate, I hate to say it, but like, I, I kind of wish we had access to that.
00:15:05.562 --> 00:15:07.782
Like we could just roll back the tape and,
00:15:08.121 --> 00:15:08.692
Right.
00:15:08.831 --> 00:15:10.182
and see what he was doing.
00:15:11.032 --> 00:15:11.662
yeah.
00:15:12.278 --> 00:15:12.727
Well,
00:15:12.835 --> 00:15:13.164
strange.
00:15:13.424 --> 00:15:14.804
Well, maybe.
00:15:15.548 --> 00:15:16.028
this will be.
00:15:16.144 --> 00:15:21.154
You know, I, I, I feel like, um, I'm responding from emotion here.
00:15:21.154 --> 00:15:25.774
I felt like, you know, it's my job to keep things secure.
00:15:25.865 --> 00:15:27.754
That security had been violated.
00:15:27.784 --> 00:15:29.674
I was feeling like a failure.
00:15:30.004 --> 00:15:34.085
Uh, and so I wanted to know like, is Victor doing this on purpose as he is?
00:15:34.085 --> 00:15:35.044
Is this an attack?
00:15:35.195 --> 00:15:37.534
But maybe I'm thinking about this too emotionally.
00:15:37.565 --> 00:15:39.605
Maybe Victor doesn't want anything.
00:15:40.294 --> 00:15:44.375
So before we go trapping him, is there anything we really want from.
00:15:46.139 --> 00:15:52.710
I mean, I think there's some information that I don't know you originally wanted from fixture.
00:15:53.070 --> 00:15:56.159
We've been able to overcome some of his,
00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:09.320
yeah, I mean, we're working well now I feel like, you know, it's, it was Richard that I was more interested in because he had his own bookkeeping and it turns out we painted over all of that.
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:09.590
And,
00:16:09.697 --> 00:16:10.028
Great.
00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:14.585
uh, I, you know, I don't know.
00:16:14.585 --> 00:16:16.595
I feel like things are working.
00:16:16.595 --> 00:16:17.225
Okay.
00:16:17.914 --> 00:16:24.034
Maybe this is me coming from a place of emotion, thinking about somebody who came before me and
00:16:24.628 --> 00:16:24.807
Um,
00:16:24.904 --> 00:16:27.394
their, their work better than I could.
00:16:27.394 --> 00:16:31.654
And the thought of them coming back is now something I'm pushing against.
00:16:32.649 --> 00:16:33.009
No.
00:16:33.009 --> 00:16:42.100
I mean, it, it, it reminds me of this time I was in Tibet and we were hiking and we're going to go hunt a snow leopard, but then we saw one and just the majesty of it.
00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:45.279
And we realized that it was better just to let it go.
00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:52.779
And I just feel like maybe for so long, I've been waiting for Victor to come back, but maybe we just have to let him pass through.
00:16:53.812 --> 00:16:59.182
I don't know, Eric, it seems like this was, this was tipped off by, by your Easter egg scheme.
00:17:00.572 --> 00:17:03.423
Are you a Z says feeling personal you in any way or
00:17:04.125 --> 00:17:11.595
I mean, it feels like a response, so I kind of feel obligated to continue to engage.
00:17:12.015 --> 00:17:12.525
Um,
00:17:13.053 --> 00:17:14.133
like a conversation.
00:17:14.835 --> 00:17:15.255
yeah.
00:17:15.464 --> 00:17:17.414
And maybe that's the, maybe that's the answer.
00:17:17.414 --> 00:17:20.714
We've put a one last egg on the contact us page.
00:17:22.758 --> 00:17:24.617
Oh, I left that.
00:17:25.643 --> 00:17:26.843
And maybe he'll reach out.
00:17:28.066 --> 00:17:28.336
Yeah,
00:17:28.595 --> 00:17:29.255
It's worth a try.
00:17:29.722 --> 00:17:30.083
Yeah.
00:17:30.905 --> 00:17:31.655
let's do it.
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:32.589
I'll uh,
00:17:32.722 --> 00:17:33.173
do it.
00:17:34.796 --> 00:17:35.786
What was that also?
00:17:35.786 --> 00:17:37.705
Your stand-up update, Eric, or did you have something.
00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:45.170
uh, yeah, I guess, I guess it, it turned out to be, um, they found the eggs and, um, I guess a lot of prices are going to Victor somehow.
00:17:45.289 --> 00:17:48.859
Um, although there was no, there was no physical address associated with that email.
00:17:49.590 --> 00:17:49.980
Yeah.
00:17:49.980 --> 00:17:53.310
I don't know how we're going to send him those Easter couches, but
00:17:53.549 --> 00:17:53.880
We'll see.
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:54.840
yep.
00:17:55.803 --> 00:18:01.353
I mean, we could also, you know, do want to send him one of our golden ticket to couches or, you know,
00:18:01.884 --> 00:18:01.974
I
00:18:02.133 --> 00:18:05.373
hide our message in the couch and an egg.
00:18:06.391 --> 00:18:06.721
That's true.
00:18:07.711 --> 00:18:08.131
Yeah.
00:18:08.221 --> 00:18:22.590
And I suppose if we, uh, we could drop a couch off at one of those like FedEx centers and then put a notice about the couch in the PO box that, um, was on at least a few of those email addresses so that he would go pick it up.
00:18:23.384 --> 00:18:25.724
I'll work with someone of your team.
00:18:25.785 --> 00:18:26.055
Okay.
00:18:26.691 --> 00:18:27.590
Okay, great.
00:18:28.813 --> 00:18:30.163
should I go, should I do my own.
00:18:31.141 --> 00:18:32.340
Yeah, of course.
00:18:32.520 --> 00:18:33.601
I mean, yeah.
00:18:34.627 --> 00:18:42.097
So as everyone knows, um, you know, Lars and David are full on wedding planning.
00:18:42.188 --> 00:18:47.107
Um, but they are actually planning a little beyond that.
00:18:47.317 --> 00:18:57.127
Um, and well, I guess this has been in the works for a little while, but I am going to be their surrogate.
00:18:57.458 --> 00:19:04.057
Um, I am pregnant and then I am actually having twins, but they only want one.
00:19:04.268 --> 00:19:09.998
So we get to choose and actually as sort of an a
00:19:10.590 --> 00:19:12.861
wait, whoa.
00:19:12.861 --> 00:19:13.621
A lot was happening.
00:19:14.086 --> 00:19:15.766
There is a lot going on.
00:19:15.998 --> 00:19:16.538
yeah.
00:19:16.627 --> 00:19:22.028
Um, so basically there there's a baby up for grabs and so no, no grabs.
00:19:22.028 --> 00:19:23.468
You should never grab babies.
00:19:23.827 --> 00:19:25.688
Um, but we.
00:19:26.917 --> 00:19:32.587
have multiple options of what we can do with them, with the baby, the second twin.
00:19:32.925 --> 00:19:38.566
don't you want to keep one of the children that you were growing and pushing out of your
00:19:39.377 --> 00:19:39.768
Well,
00:19:40.006 --> 00:19:40.576
well.
00:19:40.817 --> 00:19:48.167
I've always known, you know, that they were going to go to someone else who, who really had longed for a child.
00:19:48.228 --> 00:19:51.768
Um, you know, Lars Larson, Dave and I have talked about this.
00:19:51.768 --> 00:19:52.307
A good bet.
00:19:54.038 --> 00:19:58.988
So, I guess there's part of me that would be okay with, with someone else having it.
00:19:58.988 --> 00:20:04.597
But, you know, certainly I would never reject a child that chose me as his mother also.
00:20:05.077 --> 00:20:10.417
Um, the, the thing is a few of our investors have asked me this before.
00:20:10.718 --> 00:20:14.827
Um, but I have a bit of a waiting list, uh, for surrogacy and florists.
00:20:14.827 --> 00:20:16.057
And David had asked first.
00:20:16.087 --> 00:20:22.508
So I guess I'm trying to figure out if we should work this into the series, a, um, paperwork.
00:20:23.760 --> 00:20:25.381
no, no.
00:20:25.715 --> 00:20:25.925
we
00:20:26.431 --> 00:20:27.961
what do you suggest?
00:20:28.020 --> 00:20:28.941
I know that we.
00:20:29.776 --> 00:20:42.226
Listen, it's been a hard growth time and we've engaged in, you know, uh, cutting down of special forests and, uh, violating the endangered species act.
00:20:42.256 --> 00:20:46.306
But this would be adding pretty much human trafficking.
00:20:46.635 --> 00:20:48.556
Yeah, Um,
00:20:48.863 --> 00:20:51.292
It counts even if it's well, yeah, it counts.
00:20:52.246 --> 00:20:53.326
I mean, you seem very
00:20:53.385 --> 00:20:54.465
think it counts twice.
00:20:54.526 --> 00:20:55.455
I think it counts.
00:20:56.056 --> 00:21:00.256
Even if you volunteer, I think it counts for you and for the baby,
00:21:00.810 --> 00:21:01.590
Yeah.
00:21:02.875 --> 00:21:04.576
logistically, uh, series.
00:21:04.576 --> 00:21:06.286
They should be close before.
00:21:06.465 --> 00:21:07.816
Uh, yeah.
00:21:07.875 --> 00:21:08.205
So.
00:21:08.333 --> 00:21:09.053
true.
00:21:09.385 --> 00:21:13.496
Th that let's just defer for purely planning reasons.
00:21:13.885 --> 00:21:15.685
Let's just move past that.
00:21:17.042 --> 00:21:17.883
I mean, it doesn't have to be.
00:21:18.607 --> 00:21:19.627
It doesn't have to be a paperwork.
00:21:19.657 --> 00:21:24.067
It could be a handshake deal, you know, like you get to adopt this baby.
00:21:26.165 --> 00:21:26.885
absolutely.
00:21:26.885 --> 00:21:31.115
That I've gone to, I am always, always willing to do whatever it takes.
00:21:31.115 --> 00:21:35.976
And Kate, you take that to it very next level, but I'm going to have to care about.
00:21:36.691 --> 00:21:45.391
Uh, putting a human life as a contingent of absolutely anything, either over the table or it's actually worse for it to be under the table.
00:21:45.421 --> 00:21:45.750
Okay.
00:21:46.057 --> 00:21:46.298
Yeah.
00:21:47.407 --> 00:21:47.617
Okay.
00:21:48.488 --> 00:21:49.178
Okay,
00:21:49.925 --> 00:22:00.615
I want to, I want to pause it and I'm sorry for, cause I brought some really low, uh, kind of dark energy into this meeting and maybe that's, that's clinging a little bit.
00:22:01.990 --> 00:22:02.411
a breath.
00:22:02.471 --> 00:22:06.161
And I just want to say Kate, uh, congratulations.
00:22:06.790 --> 00:22:07.780
Like that's huge.
00:22:07.810 --> 00:22:09.221
That's huge news all around.
00:22:09.671 --> 00:22:10.601
That's big for you.
00:22:11.070 --> 00:22:12.931
about the maternal energy.
00:22:12.931 --> 00:22:20.641
I've been sensing it for weeks, and I am just so excited for you to bring that light into the office every day.
00:22:20.641 --> 00:22:21.721
And for you.
00:22:22.597 --> 00:22:23.018
Thank you.
00:22:23.018 --> 00:22:26.077
And I hope you don't, I'm not going to be taking maternity leave.
00:22:26.077 --> 00:22:28.478
I don't want you all to worry about anything like that.
00:22:28.538 --> 00:22:31.837
Um, I mean, I'm not really the mother, so it wouldn't be appropriate.
00:22:32.768 --> 00:22:32.978
Um,
00:22:33.016 --> 00:22:37.635
But you are, your body is changing in, in amazing ways.
00:22:37.635 --> 00:22:43.185
And birth is a strenuous process on the female body.
00:22:43.185 --> 00:22:46.365
So I feel like you need to take some time to heal.
00:22:48.192 --> 00:22:48.583
Yes.
00:22:49.026 --> 00:22:51.645
to like, literally literally let your body heal.
00:22:52.770 --> 00:22:53.280
Yeah.
00:22:53.280 --> 00:23:00.990
I mean, I can refer you to a very wonderful doula that I do yoga with, who can really help you.
00:23:00.990 --> 00:23:13.471
And she actually recommends that mothers physically lock themselves in a room for 30 days afterwards to have that mental and spirit and body replenishing period.
00:23:14.813 --> 00:23:15.502
Okay.
00:23:15.593 --> 00:23:20.692
Um, maybe I can, I can work from that room, you know, as long as we have internet, there's still a lot I can do.
00:23:21.143 --> 00:23:23.123
Um, but yeah, maybe you're right.
00:23:23.123 --> 00:23:27.173
I can't do as much couch moving or packing or warehousing.
00:23:27.587 --> 00:23:27.887
Um,
00:23:28.971 --> 00:23:31.611
yeah, Kate, you're not supposed to be doing that stuff anyway.
00:23:31.641 --> 00:23:34.641
That's that's all warehouse team stuff that you've delegated.
00:23:35.371 --> 00:23:35.881
right.
00:23:37.188 --> 00:23:37.577
right.
00:23:39.337 --> 00:23:40.238
Delegation.
00:23:40.417 --> 00:23:42.847
That is a goal that I'm working on.
00:23:44.198 --> 00:23:44.498
Yeah.
00:23:45.097 --> 00:23:50.508
There are other people on that team some days a week, but
00:23:50.593 --> 00:23:51.883
a, there's a waiting list.
00:23:53.827 --> 00:23:55.268
uh, for my womb.
00:23:57.113 --> 00:23:58.073
Yeah, I guess.
00:23:58.553 --> 00:23:59.123
Yes.
00:23:59.492 --> 00:23:59.903
And.
00:24:01.282 --> 00:24:16.222
So it's, it's an interesting program actually, where you can get some testing done when you're in your, I guess, really anywhere between 18 to 25, um, it'll assess how fertile you are and how good of a carrier you would be for human life.
00:24:16.583 --> 00:24:25.163
Um, and I was in the top 5%, uh, so like I just excellent genetics for our creating human life.
00:24:25.492 --> 00:24:28.313
And so, I mean, imagine.
00:24:29.063 --> 00:24:36.923
If you had like a dozen kidneys in your body, would you not want to donate those to people who need a kidneys?
00:24:37.042 --> 00:24:38.712
Like that's that's.
00:24:38.962 --> 00:24:41.182
I think the gift that my body has given me,
00:24:42.307 --> 00:24:46.717
I mean, I guess if you put it that, but hang on.
00:24:46.777 --> 00:24:53.196
What program was this like through your university or a church or.
00:24:54.384 --> 00:24:55.865
um, No.
00:24:55.865 --> 00:25:00.964
Yeah, no, it's through the, uh, the holistic medical center of, um, the Northeast.
00:25:02.085 --> 00:25:03.795
I've never, yeah, just, I'm sorry.
00:25:03.795 --> 00:25:04.515
I've never, I've
00:25:04.663 --> 00:25:13.423
I mean, they're not accredited by any specific institution, but they have, have built up a lot of their own institutional knowledge over the couple of years they've been around.
00:25:13.512 --> 00:25:20.353
Um, but anyway, yeah, it was just, I got on their wires and David were talking to me.
00:25:20.353 --> 00:25:20.413
Yeah.
00:25:21.053 --> 00:25:27.532
There hope for having children one day during lunch, I mentioned it, you know, they went on there, got on the wait list.
00:25:27.532 --> 00:25:39.022
And like, it's kind of one of these things where like, once someone gets on your wait list, other people start like eyeing you and your, uh, all that DNA and genetic information on there.
00:25:39.022 --> 00:25:40.373
And then they sign up.
00:25:43.585 --> 00:25:44.065
wow.
00:25:45.410 --> 00:25:45.710
Kate.
00:25:45.710 --> 00:25:49.430
I have to say that's, um, a plus marketing.
00:25:49.460 --> 00:25:56.269
I CRE I have a lot of questions about this, but it is your body and your choice.
00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:00.650
Um, choose better for the baby.
00:26:01.369 --> 00:26:12.200
yeah, I don't think just in, certainly not in this meeting, but I think in this cohort, um, we should not be deciding the disposition of.
00:26:12.342 --> 00:26:12.612
Yes.
00:26:14.335 --> 00:26:18.025
Extra child, um, bonus baby.
00:26:18.248 --> 00:26:19.688
I guess I, yeah, I'm just,
00:26:20.555 --> 00:26:21.095
Yeah.
00:26:21.337 --> 00:26:21.847
mine?
00:26:22.327 --> 00:26:23.407
That's the real question.
00:26:24.337 --> 00:26:26.678
David and contributed to this child.
00:26:26.678 --> 00:26:28.208
They just don't want a second.
00:26:28.538 --> 00:26:29.167
Um,
00:26:30.894 --> 00:26:35.365
I mean, the law is pretty clear that you are the biological mother.
00:26:37.387 --> 00:26:37.778
Hmm.
00:26:37.904 --> 00:26:39.375
it pretty much every Jersey.
00:26:39.896 --> 00:26:40.287
yeah.
00:26:40.875 --> 00:26:42.375
this is a big choice.
00:26:42.375 --> 00:26:47.174
Was this not a discussion that you had before pregnancy?
00:26:48.897 --> 00:26:52.798
I mean, we expected there to be one and they would take it, you know, when you're a surrogate.
00:26:53.827 --> 00:26:54.907
You're kind of a vessel.
00:26:54.907 --> 00:27:05.146
You're not so much a I just thought of myself as a, as a human vessel, you know, like a train or plane,
00:27:06.384 --> 00:27:06.743
Kate.
00:27:06.743 --> 00:27:11.213
I just want to wrap you up in a Cuban papoose and just hold you for a second.
00:27:11.634 --> 00:27:12.114
Um,
00:27:13.833 --> 00:27:15.303
sad that you're cross the table.
00:27:16.593 --> 00:27:16.893
Yeah.
00:27:17.509 --> 00:27:17.869
yeah.
00:27:20.153 --> 00:27:21.442
uh, we can talk about this more.
00:27:21.442 --> 00:27:23.903
I understand this is a big decision for all of us and we
00:27:24.290 --> 00:27:25.971
it's not actually.
00:27:26.170 --> 00:27:26.950
our decision.
00:27:28.067 --> 00:27:28.727
not involved.
00:27:29.619 --> 00:27:30.160
Yeah.
00:27:30.549 --> 00:27:31.150
Um,
00:27:31.232 --> 00:27:31.762
just off your own.
00:27:31.762 --> 00:27:32.113
Leave me.
00:27:32.590 --> 00:27:35.770
I, I, I hate to close the door like this.
00:27:35.800 --> 00:27:38.230
Uh, Kate, I, I care about you very much.
00:27:38.230 --> 00:27:39.401
I want good things for you.
00:27:39.401 --> 00:27:42.191
I think I want better things for you than you do.
00:27:42.250 --> 00:27:47.711
Um, but I have to recuse myself from this.
00:27:47.711 --> 00:27:52.330
This is not something that in the context of this company, that we can really talk.
00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:54.759
Yeah, I
00:27:56.935 --> 00:27:57.516
no,
00:27:57.579 --> 00:27:58.269
know.
00:27:58.269 --> 00:28:03.099
We've, we've covered this Kate and we've also talked about boundaries.
00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:16.180
Um, so Kathy, on this side of the wall is going to say, we don't want anything to do with that baby and Kathy, on this side of the wall as your, you know, not friend friendly.
00:28:16.994 --> 00:28:18.494
Persona in your life.
00:28:18.585 --> 00:28:32.684
A maternal figure is going to say, we should have a serious talk about this baby and figure out a good place that everybody feels comfortable with, but that is your decision and should not be anything we talk about here.
00:28:37.587 --> 00:28:38.157
okay.
00:28:38.397 --> 00:28:41.397
Um, what was the, what was your standup
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:43.049
Yeah, of course.
00:28:43.049 --> 00:28:43.349
Yeah.
00:28:43.380 --> 00:28:45.599
I can, uh, wrap it up.
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:46.200
Wow.
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:48.630
It's been a really emotional day.
00:28:48.660 --> 00:28:50.730
Uh, just, just amazing.
00:28:50.730 --> 00:28:57.750
So I guess it, it, you know, um, we have a storefront in the metaverse,
00:28:58.247 --> 00:28:58.696
Oh,
00:28:59.351 --> 00:29:00.790
So we sell couches
00:29:02.018 --> 00:29:03.458
uh, virtual couches.
00:29:03.458 --> 00:29:03.938
Yes.
00:29:03.938 --> 00:29:05.377
So, um,
00:29:05.441 --> 00:29:06.191
buy virtual.
00:29:06.191 --> 00:29:06.431
You mean?
00:29:08.904 --> 00:29:09.414
digital.
00:29:09.698 --> 00:29:10.357
digital.
00:29:10.792 --> 00:29:11.512
digital.
00:29:11.678 --> 00:29:12.038
They have no
00:29:12.076 --> 00:29:13.276
same definition.
00:29:13.488 --> 00:29:14.387
In the physical world?
00:29:14.387 --> 00:29:16.458
No, no physical representation.
00:29:16.732 --> 00:29:18.863
We have no physical representation though.
00:29:18.863 --> 00:29:21.323
We have the option to add that if we would like it.
00:29:23.827 --> 00:29:24.907
yeah, it's pretty cool.
00:29:24.938 --> 00:29:28.448
I'm really glad to see the south by Southwest assets not go to waste.
00:29:28.762 --> 00:29:29.093
Yeah.
00:29:29.317 --> 00:29:39.728
cause yeah, there were, there was a lot of work doing all of that couch, just situation, um, is who is renting.
00:29:40.563 --> 00:29:42.512
These couches buying the couches.
00:29:42.692 --> 00:29:47.313
What is, what did we settle on for these virtual couches in the metaverse?
00:29:47.857 --> 00:29:48.337
Yeah.
00:29:48.337 --> 00:29:57.758
So actually we are selling it for more than couches are in the real life because, uh, metaverse real estate is at a premium.
00:29:57.758 --> 00:30:04.028
We had to pay a lot for our land in the metaverse and it seems like people really want premium couches.
00:30:04.028 --> 00:30:07.298
So, you know, we're really focusing on with our couch building.
00:30:08.182 --> 00:30:10.792
Couches that don't exist in, can exist in the world.
00:30:10.792 --> 00:30:15.923
So we just sold our first couch yacht, uh, for a hundred thousand dollars.
00:30:15.952 --> 00:30:17.182
And, um,
00:30:17.236 --> 00:30:18.465
Oh, real dollars.
00:30:19.583 --> 00:30:21.413
yeah, I been Crip
00:30:21.712 --> 00:30:23.542
I, yeah, it's virtual currency.
00:30:23.813 --> 00:30:29.782
That, that we then have to do several trades and, uh, find a lot of paperwork to turn into.
00:30:30.817 --> 00:30:31.417
Exactly.
00:30:31.417 --> 00:30:48.337
So, I mean, between the several trays that we have to make between various crypto and real currencies, it actually turns out to be about 50,000 in like U S currency, which is still a pretty good for a couch, you know?
00:30:48.367 --> 00:30:51.877
Um, I would say we probably can only do one of those.
00:30:51.877 --> 00:30:54.488
We made a pretty big PR campaign about'em.
00:30:54.817 --> 00:30:57.337
Um, and honestly that's the only couch we've sold.
00:30:57.337 --> 00:30:58.988
So, um,
00:31:01.113 --> 00:31:04.143
It's I, you know, don't, don't feel bad about that.
00:31:04.262 --> 00:31:10.083
Califia, um, metaverse stuff it's really, it's really tough market.
00:31:10.173 --> 00:31:16.893
And you know, we're basically, we're competing against huge artists, right?
00:31:16.893 --> 00:31:24.002
With like millions of followers, people who are like super well known, who've worked to auction their art at Sotheby's.
00:31:24.603 --> 00:31:28.998
Uh, so the fact that we sold one like that, That's great.
00:31:29.448 --> 00:31:29.837
Yeah.
00:31:29.903 --> 00:31:30.413
Yeah.
00:31:30.413 --> 00:31:35.363
I mean, I do think like you're right, it is a space in which artists could Excel at this.
00:31:35.363 --> 00:31:49.397
So given that our team is a pretty creative team, we look forward to trying to, you know, pitch what we can in there and then maybe make some money, you know, um, At least pay for our rent on our land.
00:31:49.397 --> 00:31:52.847
I mean, metaverse real estate is just getting crazy these days.
00:31:52.970 --> 00:31:53.329
Yeah.
00:31:54.435 --> 00:31:58.395
is it also illegal to sell babies in the middle?
00:32:00.077 --> 00:32:01.847
Oh, almost a hundred percent.
00:32:01.988 --> 00:32:02.627
Yeah.
00:32:04.067 --> 00:32:10.548
I think that that's just Kate, probably the rule of the universe.
00:32:10.577 --> 00:32:17.087
Ultimately selling, selling things in the metaverse, uh, follows the same laws as selling them anywhere else.
00:32:18.077 --> 00:32:20.538
It's just a question of how well they're being enforced.
00:32:22.770 --> 00:32:25.013
That's important, but.
00:32:25.310 --> 00:32:26.601
it be okay?

Yeah.
00:32:30.861 --> 00:32:31.030

And congratulations, Kate really?
00:32:34.681 --> 00:32:44.431
I mean, I feel like we went through a lot today, you know, and, um, we should just really celebrate, celebrate you and becoming a mother.
00:32:45.098 --> 00:32:46.358
It's not about me.
00:32:46.808 --> 00:32:48.068
I mean, it's not about all of me.
00:32:48.068 --> 00:32:52.209
It's about, it's about a few specific organs, you know, so.
00:32:55.763 --> 00:32:56.574
But thank you.
00:32:57.683 --> 00:32:58.824
I do like cupcakes.
00:32:59.492 --> 00:33:01.143
We can get you some cupcakes.
00:33:01.826 --> 00:33:02.066
Great.
00:33:02.336 --> 00:33:06.776
Now actually, I can't eat cupcakes right now because, um, if I have anything that tastes like sugar, right.
00:33:06.836 --> 00:33:08.215
I get nauseous and vomit.
00:33:10.005 --> 00:33:10.515

Yeah.

Um, great.
00:33:16.145 --> 00:33:18.066
Any final things or should we just wrap up?
00:33:19.949 --> 00:33:23.098
um, I'm going to set a basket up in the break room.
00:33:23.219 --> 00:33:26.969
Uh, if folks could just start dropping off the eggs that they find.
00:33:27.719 --> 00:33:31.108
I would like to figure out if there's some other message here.
