WEBVTT
00:00:07.665 --> 00:00:09.855
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.
00:00:23.370 --> 00:00:23.670
Okay.
00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:25.890
We were all in here is the door closed.
00:00:26.190 --> 00:00:27.120
Everyone fits.
00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:28.920
Okay.
00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:29.580
Awesome.
00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:31.291
Um, I guess.
00:00:32.930 --> 00:00:36.530
To whoever ends up watching this, can you please email it to me?
00:00:36.591 --> 00:00:43.011
Um, our, our normal office is being used as the buffet, uh, for obviously Lars and David's wedding.
00:00:43.011 --> 00:00:45.320
And we, we just we'd like to record our meetings.
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:51.591
And so, um, yeah, whichever producer ends up watching this, uh, please say.
00:00:52.250 --> 00:00:53.451
it's, it's very handy.
00:00:55.511 --> 00:01:00.551
Yeah, this, is, this are all like reality TV, confessional rooms, this small, this, this is like very cozy
00:01:01.445 --> 00:01:11.736
No, I wanted it to feel more intimate because I really wanted like a really intimate feel to our documentary slash reality show that we'll be thinking about the weddings.
00:01:13.421 --> 00:01:14.350
Yeah, well it's
00:01:14.409 --> 00:01:15.040
Great job.
00:01:15.965 --> 00:01:16.176
Yeah.
00:01:16.510 --> 00:01:20.471
uh, yeah, I don't, I don't know what I expected, I guess, but it's small.
00:01:20.471 --> 00:01:21.340
It's very clean.
00:01:22.450 --> 00:01:23.831
I always thought like people cried in here.
00:01:24.805 --> 00:01:28.766
Kind of smelling that doesn't, that's not a thing, but like that, that's what I thought.
00:01:28.855 --> 00:01:29.456
Um, I'm sorry.
00:01:29.486 --> 00:01:30.745
I'm getting a sidetrack to already.
00:01:31.521 --> 00:01:32.331
No, no, I get it.
00:01:32.331 --> 00:01:34.760
I do I do smell like a distinct smell.
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.850
Like, you know, right before the rain comes, there's like an ozone smell.
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.710
You know, there's like that when you have a lot of people crying in one space, my old office used to smell like that.
00:01:43.115 --> 00:01:43.296
Oh,
00:01:44.350 --> 00:01:44.740
Yeah.
00:01:45.221 --> 00:01:45.551
I mean,
00:01:45.635 --> 00:01:45.846
right.
00:01:45.876 --> 00:01:47.796
Well, we're missing out on the reception.
00:01:47.885 --> 00:01:48.036
Uh,
00:01:48.460 --> 00:02:00.021
I know the speeches are still happening, but, um, I didn't realize everyone in the company was going to give a speech, but anyway, Oh, man.
00:02:00.021 --> 00:02:02.391
I'm so flustered, but we're, we're here.
00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:10.550
Uh, because we really, even though it's the wedding reception of force and tape, it need to apparently sign the series a document in the next like 20 minutes.
00:02:11.121 --> 00:02:11.721
Um,
00:02:11.911 --> 00:02:14.251
oh, that's that's great news.
00:02:14.281 --> 00:02:16.050
I mean, that means they've, they've stepped up the.
00:02:17.330 --> 00:02:18.950
yeah, I mean,
00:02:19.050 --> 00:02:19.411
Oh,
00:02:19.971 --> 00:02:21.471
but I haven't seen it.
00:02:21.471 --> 00:02:24.531
I just, I mean, it's in our emails, but I haven't even had the time to look up.
00:02:24.735 --> 00:02:29.655
Yeah, apparently, apparently it was stuck in John's spam folder for the last four days.
00:02:29.715 --> 00:02:30.344
Uh, and
00:02:30.545 --> 00:02:31.895
Oh, no.
00:02:31.995 --> 00:02:32.685
more time.
00:02:32.920 --> 00:02:34.181
okay.
00:02:34.300 --> 00:02:35.591
Let me, oh yeah.
00:02:36.096 --> 00:02:36.366
Okay.
00:02:36.366 --> 00:02:37.086
Let's let's just,
00:02:37.591 --> 00:02:38.800
it's in my spam folder.
00:02:39.506 --> 00:02:42.175
Uh, cause I have filters set up for when John Ford's me stuff.
00:02:42.205 --> 00:02:42.536
Okay.
00:02:42.536 --> 00:02:43.015
Wow.
00:02:43.165 --> 00:02:45.806
Haven't seen it until, oh, so we've been sitting on this.
00:02:46.225 --> 00:02:46.825
Excellent.
00:02:46.945 --> 00:02:47.306
Uh,
00:02:47.316 --> 00:02:47.825
Yeah.
00:02:48.906 --> 00:02:49.656
It's it'll be fine.
00:02:49.686 --> 00:02:50.165
It'll be fine.
00:02:50.195 --> 00:02:52.806
Um, let's do just quick, super quick intro.
00:02:53.841 --> 00:02:56.721
Cate Blanchett, chief of staff for set.
00:02:57.390 --> 00:02:58.080
Oh, yeah, it's great.
00:03:00.031 --> 00:03:01.140
Creatives are for sin.
00:03:02.574 --> 00:03:02.814
yep.
00:03:02.844 --> 00:03:05.365
Uh, Eric, Troy Carter, chief product officer at CIT
00:03:06.626 --> 00:03:09.175
uh, oh, hi, uh, uh, Matt, matt.yachts.
00:03:09.205 --> 00:03:12.806
That's also my website and I am the CTO here at CIT.
00:03:13.241 --> 00:03:13.420
Okay,
00:03:14.306 --> 00:03:14.515
Okay.
00:03:14.515 --> 00:03:16.975
A lot of this looks familiar like this is definitely.
00:03:17.950 --> 00:03:19.061
Standard language.
00:03:19.526 --> 00:03:23.575
had like a highlighter or something for what changed, because these are.
00:03:24.545 --> 00:03:28.866
Wait, uh, section 12.
00:03:29.064 --> 00:03:29.724
changes.
00:03:31.764 --> 00:03:32.754
What'd he say in section 12?
00:03:33.336 --> 00:03:38.316
I just, there wasn't a section 12 before I remember if it's 12 was my favorite number.
00:03:38.406 --> 00:03:44.645
Um, and so I was thinking, you know, section 12 will be my favorite and then there wasn't one, but now there, now there is one.
00:03:45.574 --> 00:03:45.965
oh, yeah.
00:03:45.995 --> 00:03:47.405
Jumped to an 11 to 13.
00:03:47.405 --> 00:03:52.685
Last time I remember saying I look weird because usually you skipped 13, but I think it was a mistake.
00:03:52.715 --> 00:03:54.754
Maybe there was a place holder that you were missing.
00:03:54.965 --> 00:03:55.384
Okay.
00:03:55.580 --> 00:03:59.570
different cultures have different numbers that they find a nerving.
00:03:59.790 --> 00:04:00.181
All right.
00:04:00.181 --> 00:04:07.471
Section 12, uh, additional additional assets and acquisitions
00:04:08.991 --> 00:04:09.770
assets.
00:04:10.381 --> 00:04:16.170
as part of the agreement, the entity known as CIT agrees to acquire,
00:04:16.764 --> 00:04:17.425
Oh, wow.
00:04:17.610 --> 00:04:18.511
hang on from.
00:04:19.656 --> 00:04:26.795
Uh, well, it looks like one of the investors wants to roll a company into sit, hang on.
00:04:26.795 --> 00:04:27.156
Who,
00:04:28.586 --> 00:04:30.536
uh, what com company?
00:04:30.596 --> 00:04:37.435
I, we, we definitely don't have any investors who have any type of couch marketplaces already in their investment portfolio.
00:04:37.435 --> 00:04:39.175
That that was a huge record.
00:04:40.125 --> 00:04:43.065
Yeah, no, that, I mean, that was a part of the whole.
00:04:43.971 --> 00:04:49.461
The series a thing was like, we wanted people to be on board with us as their couch marketplace.
00:04:49.461 --> 00:04:56.930
I mean, that's, maybe that's part of why they were kind of rude about us becoming the number one couch marketplace.
00:04:56.930 --> 00:04:58.040
Before we close.
00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:01.310
I'm going to, I'm going to get out my laptop.
00:05:01.370 --> 00:05:01.461
I
00:05:01.565 --> 00:05:02.975
what is this acquisition?
00:05:03.336 --> 00:05:06.216
All it says is rough
00:05:06.324 --> 00:05:06.834
her back
00:05:07.386 --> 00:05:07.805
LLC.
00:05:09.341 --> 00:05:10.060
What was that?
00:05:11.505 --> 00:05:13.216
Ruff Ruff.
00:05:13.305 --> 00:05:22.396
Like not, not like the dog, not mustard, no muster muster like a Custer, but not like custard.
00:05:22.396 --> 00:05:24.016
Like Custer's last stand.
00:05:24.016 --> 00:05:26.805
like a rollout, like a muster AB.
00:05:27.175 --> 00:05:27.535
yeah.
00:05:27.675 --> 00:05:28.336
Yeah.
00:05:28.675 --> 00:05:29.214
Okay.
00:05:30.435 --> 00:05:30.646
All right.
00:05:30.646 --> 00:05:31.096
They don't,
00:05:32.985 --> 00:05:34.096
What is it about Google?
00:05:34.755 --> 00:05:35.475
Uh,
00:05:35.646 --> 00:05:36.065
that.
00:05:36.076 --> 00:05:36.406
dang.
00:05:36.495 --> 00:05:37.636
have the.org.
00:05:38.536 --> 00:05:39.735
They don't have a.
00:05:40.971 --> 00:05:42.380
they do have a.co.
00:05:42.411 --> 00:05:42.951
Okay.
00:05:43.425 --> 00:05:43.875
Um,
00:05:44.091 --> 00:05:44.930
Is this them?
00:05:45.141 --> 00:05:45.711
Let me check.
00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:46.461
Uh,
00:05:47.295 --> 00:05:47.625
Yeah.
00:05:47.656 --> 00:05:48.125
Oh, this
00:05:48.216 --> 00:05:59.586
you mean that there is a rough month muster.com dot or in.org available, or that somehow there were two companies that chose this God awful name.
00:05:59.661 --> 00:06:03.920
no, weirdly, uh, both of those are available, so I guess,
00:06:04.646 --> 00:06:05.065
they just
00:06:05.271 --> 00:06:07.401
that on my to-do list to register this?
00:06:07.654 --> 00:06:08.464
Yeah.
00:06:08.531 --> 00:06:09.641
a brand, a
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.360
what are these folks do?
00:06:12.221 --> 00:06:13.331
that would be great.
00:06:13.415 --> 00:06:14.014
what's on the dot.
00:06:14.170 --> 00:06:14.800
question.
00:06:15.211 --> 00:06:20.130
is just like a slide show of people doing outdoor adventure sports.
00:06:21.084 --> 00:06:21.425
Oh, hold
00:06:21.490 --> 00:06:22.750
Oh God,
00:06:24.690 --> 00:06:24.870
Oh
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:31.480
there's some, they have a picture of a man who is maybe naked covered in mud.
00:06:32.091 --> 00:06:32.930
Yeah, there is.
00:06:33.095 --> 00:06:33.904
electrocuted
00:06:34.651 --> 00:06:41.370
Yeah, their Instagram is just all naked people doing yoga and wearing only sneakers.
00:06:41.370 --> 00:06:42.841
Are they a sneaker company
00:06:44.911 --> 00:06:45.091
It's
00:06:45.266 --> 00:06:46.016
a yoga com.
00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:47.161
no, hang on.
00:06:47.190 --> 00:06:47.850
They have,
00:06:47.870 --> 00:06:51.790
or maybe a, you know, down under pruning company?
00:06:51.790 --> 00:06:52.961
Cause I have to say
00:06:53.011 --> 00:06:53.430
that's a good
00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:57.940
everybody here, their pubic hair is very well coughed.
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.240
Looks like they're okay.
00:07:01.300 --> 00:07:07.841
I mean, the main thing, other than all of these photos and links to their social media on their website is, uh, events.
00:07:07.870 --> 00:07:09.730
And they've got events in,
00:07:09.750 --> 00:07:09.841
oh,
00:07:10.930 --> 00:07:16.211
it looks like a lot of cities, but it's like, it's at least like an hour outside of each city.
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:17.701
Oh,
00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:18.670
Yeah.
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:19.951
God.
00:07:19.951 --> 00:07:20.310
Yeah, I
00:07:20.440 --> 00:07:20.831
Okay.
00:07:20.831 --> 00:07:21.430
Here we go.
00:07:21.430 --> 00:07:23.081
Sign up for the one near you.
00:07:24.141 --> 00:07:25.161
Coming soon.
00:07:25.221 --> 00:07:31.641
The Annapolis, no fun run is not actually in Annapolis.
00:07:31.711 --> 00:07:32.880
No fun run.
00:07:33.021 --> 00:07:33.560
Yeah.
00:07:34.591 --> 00:07:36.511
who would sign up for something like that?
00:07:37.350 --> 00:07:38.730
Well, what.
00:07:40.314 --> 00:07:44.964
first, first prize is a pair of a used sneakers.
00:07:47.451 --> 00:07:47.841
huh?
00:07:48.490 --> 00:07:49.050
Oh,
00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:52.040
signed by the original rough mustard.
00:07:52.776 --> 00:07:53.346
Themselves.
00:07:53.375 --> 00:07:53.886
Oh, hang on.
00:07:53.915 --> 00:07:54.605
This is, this
00:07:54.675 --> 00:07:55.725
the rough muster.
00:07:55.785 --> 00:07:57.254
Uh, oh no.
00:07:57.285 --> 00:07:59.084
Well, that's him.
00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:02.240
I that's.
00:08:03.110 --> 00:08:05.779
That's the same signature on this.
00:08:06.139 --> 00:08:06.980
That's the CEO.
00:08:08.615 --> 00:08:11.404
that is not what he's looked like in previous meetings.
00:08:12.576 --> 00:08:12.935
yeah.
00:08:12.966 --> 00:08:16.235
Well, I mean he, the mud washes off, I assume.
00:08:17.646 --> 00:08:18.696
Uh, sorry.
00:08:18.696 --> 00:08:20.495
Uh, Kathy, what did you say was on the signup?
00:08:21.564 --> 00:08:21.865
yeah.
00:08:21.894 --> 00:08:38.004
On the signup form, they ask you for the phone number of your mother, your most terrifying teacher and your elementary school bully for quote unquote research.
00:08:38.826 --> 00:08:39.066
Yeah.
00:08:39.076 --> 00:08:39.576
Wow.
00:08:40.982 --> 00:08:43.562
there's a bunch of different tiers to sign up at two.
00:08:43.562 --> 00:08:45.482
If you want to do the four hour run.
00:08:46.263 --> 00:08:51.873
The eight hour deep woods immersive experience or the 24 hour survival challenge.
00:08:52.417 --> 00:08:52.956
goodness.
00:08:54.197 --> 00:08:55.488
Oh, wait, I
00:08:55.753 --> 00:08:56.623
they're in events.
00:08:56.623 --> 00:08:59.322
They're like a extreme sports events company.
00:08:59.832 --> 00:09:01.842
Is this is, oh, I just got it.
00:09:02.202 --> 00:09:02.802
It's like tough.
00:09:02.832 --> 00:09:03.822
It's like tough Mudder.
00:09:04.092 --> 00:09:12.342
It's like, have you guys ever, I've never done one of these, but like every big Corp I've worked at has had some weekend retreat that, yeah.
00:09:12.342 --> 00:09:13.482
That like I'm refusing.
00:09:14.168 --> 00:09:18.908
Yeah, no, I, I did want to, once I got stabbed in the Facebook barbed wire, but I mean,
00:09:19.246 --> 00:09:19.697
Oh,
00:09:20.618 --> 00:09:25.268
wait, so we have 15 minutes to decide if we're going to acquire this company or not.
00:09:25.383 --> 00:09:26.312
I forgot about the clock.
00:09:26.312 --> 00:09:26.702
Yeah.
00:09:26.793 --> 00:09:27.243
Um,
00:09:27.956 --> 00:09:28.226
Are there,
00:09:30.697 --> 00:09:31.837
already signed this.
00:09:31.898 --> 00:09:32.168
Oh my God.
00:09:33.027 --> 00:09:34.557
how, how, how much is it?
00:09:34.557 --> 00:09:38.126
Like, do we hit, did you have any financials?
00:09:38.126 --> 00:09:40.947
Like we, if we don't, if it doesn't work out, we can just shut it.
00:09:41.957 --> 00:09:42.227
Okay.
00:09:42.227 --> 00:09:44.357
They do, they did attach a due diligence stack.
00:09:44.357 --> 00:09:45.138
Let's open that.
00:09:45.587 --> 00:09:46.187
Um,
00:09:46.337 --> 00:09:46.788
Okay.
00:09:47.836 --> 00:09:48.586
wow.
00:09:48.616 --> 00:09:49.067
Okay.
00:09:49.067 --> 00:09:52.216
So pretty high margin.
00:09:52.726 --> 00:09:59.206
Um, it seems like they charge$600 for the 24 hour experience.
00:10:00.027 --> 00:10:03.476
Only cost them 30 per person.
00:10:03.482 --> 00:10:10.923
Uh, because the survival experience provides no food and all of the, uh warden's yeah.
00:10:10.923 --> 00:10:12.332
They call them event wardens.
00:10:12.363 --> 00:10:13.263
They're all volunteers.
00:10:14.822 --> 00:10:15.153
Okay.
00:10:15.153 --> 00:10:17.312
What are, what are muster points?
00:10:18.453 --> 00:10:20.224
Oh, like a loyalty program.
00:10:20.424 --> 00:10:26.004
Yeah, I'm more than a loyalty program.
00:10:26.034 --> 00:10:26.554
Hang on.
00:10:26.664 --> 00:10:28.105
Must have rewards.
00:10:28.134 --> 00:10:29.544
It's like a currency.
00:10:31.239 --> 00:10:33.938
is anyone else keeps hearing mustard?
00:10:35.198 --> 00:10:35.318
I
00:10:35.394 --> 00:10:36.144
know what you mean.
00:10:36.249 --> 00:10:36.759
but
00:10:36.874 --> 00:10:39.724
very clear, a little too close for comfort, honestly.
00:10:40.299 --> 00:10:45.940
I, this is just, I mean, the hard thing here is what, what are our options, right?
00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:52.600
Do we send this back with strikes through, do we need to get the Mr.
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.049
Rough muster on the horn and see what's going on here?
00:10:56.049 --> 00:10:56.279
I mean,
00:10:56.634 --> 00:10:56.933
Wow.
00:10:57.899 --> 00:11:10.679
This sounds like he's either trying to get access to the capital or the people that we have, or to fob this business off on John or on us.
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:11.129
Really.
00:11:11.524 --> 00:11:12.844
it's clearly not a money loser.
00:11:12.844 --> 00:11:13.384
So
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:15.480
That's true.
00:11:15.509 --> 00:11:15.870
Although.
00:11:16.094 --> 00:11:23.594
but it's a totally different, I mean, uh, we have no experience in events, marketing.
00:11:25.019 --> 00:11:27.570
I mean, I don't know if I would say no experience.
00:11:27.570 --> 00:11:33.840
We've certainly had to do plenty of events work for, uh, all the political campaigns.
00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:36.750
I mean, you have the, the, the local
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:36.849
of
00:11:36.870 --> 00:11:37.919
the state stuff.
00:11:38.068 --> 00:11:39.359
Yeah, that's true.
00:11:40.139 --> 00:11:40.678
I don't know.
00:11:40.678 --> 00:11:58.739
I just, I feel like this is a very masculine hate yourself kind of brand, and I'm all about exploring the human darkness of the soul, but it just feels like tying our brand to this is going to change how people see CIT.
00:11:59.344 --> 00:12:02.374
I mean, you know, maybe that's what we need though.
00:12:02.374 --> 00:12:13.234
Like if our premier goal from the beginning was to shape, you know, the face of global trade and that, that includes hyper-masculine endurance races.
00:12:14.923 --> 00:12:16.274
Pit people against each other.
00:12:16.274 --> 00:12:24.374
I mean, if we want, if we want to be part of the whole, the whole thing, why, why not make this the second piece?
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.279
Uh, yeah.
00:12:28.394 --> 00:12:31.274
year roadmap, but I mean, this was on there.
00:12:31.303 --> 00:12:32.024
It was on there.
00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:46.600
They do have a roadmap at the end of that due diligence deck, where they talk about, um, ideas of collaborating with us, you know, it's like a exercise bench slash lounger.
00:12:48.009 --> 00:12:50.049
And look at that home exercise equipment.
00:12:51.789 --> 00:12:52.450
Wow.
00:12:52.504 --> 00:12:52.984
logo on it.
00:12:55.690 --> 00:12:56.500
Oh, okay.
00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:57.940
Some of this makes sense to
00:12:58.370 --> 00:12:58.730
at our little.
00:12:58.870 --> 00:13:05.200
like sit, branded, um, like a cool-down area.
00:13:06.389 --> 00:13:06.720
Hang on.
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:07.110
What are they?
00:13:07.289 --> 00:13:12.240
They call these on the course, uh, oh, quitter centers.
00:13:12.269 --> 00:13:12.690
Okay.
00:13:12.990 --> 00:13:13.889
That's, that's a rude,
00:13:14.289 --> 00:13:15.700
quitter sitters.
00:13:15.789 --> 00:13:16.659
Oh no.
00:13:16.803 --> 00:13:17.394
to love that,
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.220
looking at an endurance event, like people need to rest.
00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:21.389
I don't know who I'm telling this.
00:13:23.570 --> 00:13:27.860
It seems like they used set a lot in these products, but it's a lot.
00:13:28.794 --> 00:13:35.424
Don't sit or sit no more or the anti set, you know?
00:13:36.914 --> 00:13:48.134
Yeah, it is really tough to reconcile with how much we've been a brand about pushing comfort and home and, uh, expressing yourself through leisure and.
00:13:48.403 --> 00:13:52.333
I mean, I'm just really glad we didn't go with com fleek.
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:53.269
Oh
00:13:53.947 --> 00:13:54.097
Yeah.
00:13:54.317 --> 00:13:55.726
that would have been a nightmare.
00:13:56.577 --> 00:13:57.207
Oh, God.
00:13:57.238 --> 00:13:57.748
Yeah.
00:13:57.918 --> 00:13:58.097
Yeah.
00:13:58.288 --> 00:14:04.077
At least some exercises you do actually sit like squatting is kind of like getting into the sit position.
00:14:04.991 --> 00:14:06.371
that's that's true.
00:14:07.631 --> 00:14:11.022
Well, I mean, like you were saying, like, what are our options here?
00:14:11.727 --> 00:14:12.268
yeah.
00:14:12.461 --> 00:14:16.782
he's he's bringing 33% of the rounds funding, so.
00:14:17.227 --> 00:14:17.437
Ooh.
00:14:17.706 --> 00:14:25.116
To re to replace that is, I don't know that we can, can wait another, however long it would take to, to replace it.
00:14:25.116 --> 00:14:28.836
I, I I'm, I'm, I'm kind of fine to take the lead on this.
00:14:29.102 --> 00:14:29.793
Yeah, here.
00:14:29.793 --> 00:14:33.033
Let's just go through and make sure we didn't miss any of the conditions.
00:14:33.092 --> 00:14:40.232
Um, for instance, oh, we have to figure out how, what this guy, what position this guy will get.
00:14:41.072 --> 00:14:47.673
He says he, it doesn't matter what his roles and responsibilities are as long as he's referred to as the Colonel.
00:14:49.292 --> 00:14:49.892
what.
00:14:50.312 --> 00:14:50.462
Yeah.
00:14:50.493 --> 00:14:50.732
He wants.
00:14:51.508 --> 00:14:52.677
Colonel muster.
00:14:54.381 --> 00:14:57.652
Wait, he wants to be Colonel muster and not mustard.
00:14:58.457 --> 00:14:58.967
Yes.
00:14:58.967 --> 00:15:03.258
He wants to keep the muster brand, uh, but be a Colonel.
00:15:03.751 --> 00:15:06.812
So on top of all of this, he wants us to call him a upon.
00:15:07.802 --> 00:15:07.922
Yeah.
00:15:09.623 --> 00:15:10.192
Yeah.
00:15:10.972 --> 00:15:13.403
You know, he is ex-military.
00:15:14.272 --> 00:15:14.601
And.
00:15:15.802 --> 00:15:18.471
None of us have interesting names.
00:15:20.852 --> 00:15:23.613
Yeah, no, he, he is a Colonel.
00:15:23.883 --> 00:15:24.393
He was, or
00:15:24.591 --> 00:15:25.552
Oh, he's actually, it was, a
00:15:25.692 --> 00:15:27.942
Oh, that's okay.
00:15:28.152 --> 00:15:29.652
That makes a little more sense.
00:15:29.711 --> 00:15:31.751
Is his last name muster though?
00:15:32.986 --> 00:15:33.317
Yeah.
00:15:33.317 --> 00:15:34.096
I mean, well, yeah.
00:15:34.187 --> 00:15:34.756
That's
00:15:36.645 --> 00:15:38.025
Yeah, but he, he changed it.
00:15:38.326 --> 00:15:40.816
He changed it to muster when he was
00:15:41.006 --> 00:15:43.706
Legally that's not, that's not his doing business as name.
00:15:43.917 --> 00:15:45.567
Uh, but it's yeah,
00:15:46.760 --> 00:15:47.280
No.
00:15:47.307 --> 00:15:47.907
still using.
00:15:49.881 --> 00:16:01.042
I, I don't know, did I, I did a walk through of a bunch of the potential investor portfolios and, uh, the background information on them, uh, most of his money was, was family money.
00:16:01.042 --> 00:16:09.081
So he uses the family name for kind of doing business as, but, uh, he's, he's leaned really hard into this, uh, rough muster personality,
00:16:10.880 --> 00:16:12.020
I can tell.
00:16:12.081 --> 00:16:12.530
Yeah.
00:16:12.561 --> 00:16:13.160
Wow.
00:16:14.086 --> 00:16:14.475
Okay.
00:16:14.535 --> 00:16:14.985
Okay.
00:16:15.076 --> 00:16:24.586
Um, they also say that, um, they would like their volunteer program to continue, uh, looking for opportunities for volunteers to
00:16:24.711 --> 00:16:24.921
Okay.
00:16:26.145 --> 00:16:29.625
How should you use the word work in our warehouse?
00:16:30.625 --> 00:16:31.586
Wait, what.
00:16:32.451 --> 00:16:33.081
oh yeah.
00:16:33.111 --> 00:16:35.331
This is a whole section about synergies.
00:16:35.910 --> 00:16:37.081
Yeah, they're saying we
00:16:37.192 --> 00:16:40.731
muster community is full of hardworking diligent people who are.
00:16:42.081 --> 00:16:44.601
put to work at lower, no costs.
00:16:45.501 --> 00:16:48.802
And there's a whole list of wow.
00:16:48.831 --> 00:16:50.542
Just links to yeah.
00:16:50.562 --> 00:16:51.501
Spreadsheets
00:16:52.171 --> 00:16:52.681
and,
00:16:52.731 --> 00:16:53.422
emails.
00:16:54.150 --> 00:16:57.961
and their mother's phone numbers and the childhood books.
00:16:59.350 --> 00:16:59.860
Oh,
00:17:00.346 --> 00:17:10.546
So the, you using the name of the child hood bully as the manager of this person helps motivate them.
00:17:10.996 --> 00:17:11.715
Interesting.
00:17:12.261 --> 00:17:13.251
This is very detailed.
00:17:14.070 --> 00:17:15.961
Oh, wait, what the hell
00:17:17.332 --> 00:17:17.842
Uh, what'd you
00:17:17.881 --> 00:17:20.010
I I'm I'm listed as a bully.
00:17:22.221 --> 00:17:23.602
it's about by her by whom?
00:17:24.036 --> 00:17:24.125
Uh,
00:17:24.415 --> 00:17:25.705
Who did you bully?
00:17:26.615 --> 00:17:32.165
some, some Jackson white bird in Missouri
00:17:32.751 --> 00:17:34.192
do he will do, you know, a Jackson Jacksonville.
00:17:34.355 --> 00:17:34.976
Yeah.
00:17:35.435 --> 00:17:36.486
doesn't ring a bell.
00:17:38.332 --> 00:17:41.092
Did you go to like elementary school in Missouri?
00:17:41.092 --> 00:17:41.422
What?
00:17:41.461 --> 00:17:41.641
Yeah.
00:17:43.875 --> 00:17:44.385
Oh,
00:17:45.152 --> 00:17:46.561
I mean, they could have moved to Missouri by now.
00:17:46.561 --> 00:17:47.102
I guess.
00:17:47.625 --> 00:17:48.135
No, I didn't.
00:17:48.165 --> 00:17:50.205
I mean, I didn't, but I did know it.
00:17:50.215 --> 00:17:50.986
I didn't know that Jack.
00:17:52.711 --> 00:17:58.290
And I kicked a Jackson in the face and kickball,
00:17:59.685 --> 00:18:00.046
Oh my
00:18:00.461 --> 00:18:02.111
but that was, that was part of the game.
00:18:02.111 --> 00:18:04.151
It was it wasn't I wasn't doing it on purpose.
00:18:04.151 --> 00:18:05.320
He was playing second base.
00:18:05.320 --> 00:18:07.000
I hit a good kick
00:18:07.461 --> 00:18:08.811
oh, you with the ball, you
00:18:08.830 --> 00:18:09.580
with the ball.
00:18:09.580 --> 00:18:12.070
No, no, I didn't I didn't punch somebody or kick somebody.
00:18:12.070 --> 00:18:12.971
No, I kicked them.
00:18:13.030 --> 00:18:13.901
Keep the ball,
00:18:14.185 --> 00:18:14.516
really
00:18:14.632 --> 00:18:20.392
heard, I heard, I kicked a Jackson in the face and I assume that was, that was foot to face.
00:18:21.070 --> 00:18:21.260
Yeah.
00:18:21.260 --> 00:18:22.361
Yeah, I understand.
00:18:22.361 --> 00:18:24.580
But no, but, but that was it.
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.260
Well, seems like Jackson, white bird had a pretty nice life up until that
00:18:30.521 --> 00:18:32.682
Yeah, maybe that's the worst thing that ever happened to Jackson.
00:18:33.621 --> 00:18:34.040
yeah.
00:18:35.171 --> 00:18:35.411
Okay.
00:18:35.411 --> 00:18:37.570
Now I'm, now I'm really in, like, I feel like I.
00:18:38.596 --> 00:18:38.955
Sure.
00:18:38.955 --> 00:18:39.405
Sure.
00:18:39.885 --> 00:18:41.806
I mean, yeah, don't worry.
00:18:41.806 --> 00:18:44.476
We all have done things in our past that had affects.
00:18:44.476 --> 00:18:46.816
We didn't think about, I mean, remember Mike?
00:18:47.415 --> 00:18:48.316
I didn't even stop.
00:18:48.316 --> 00:18:49.306
I just ran to first base.
00:18:49.306 --> 00:18:50.806
I didn't even check if he was okay,
00:18:51.340 --> 00:18:52.090
Oh, my God.
00:18:52.726 --> 00:18:53.175
Well,
00:18:53.476 --> 00:18:55.336
was seven it's kickball.
00:18:56.266 --> 00:18:57.675
I'm not that school nurse.
00:18:58.548 --> 00:18:59.209
Wow.
00:18:59.903 --> 00:19:01.884
Have you, you don't want me to get defensive?
00:19:02.263 --> 00:19:04.483
Um, and I'm questioning a lot
00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:06.769
okay.
00:19:06.769 --> 00:19:09.109
Well, we're really close to deadline on this.
00:19:09.109 --> 00:19:13.490
Yeah, we, we need, we need to start signing, I guess.
00:19:13.490 --> 00:19:14.839
I don't know what there is to discuss.
00:19:15.930 --> 00:19:18.329
We're kind of up against the wall here.
00:19:18.329 --> 00:19:23.730
If we sign this, then the thing goes forward and we're saddled with this albatross, whatever it's going to be.
00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:29.009
If we don't sign what the deal's off, uh, are we going to be in another six months of
00:19:29.249 --> 00:19:29.878
I know.
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:31.829
Like we're running out of runway here.
00:19:31.959 --> 00:19:34.179
We, we are really out of runway.
00:19:34.269 --> 00:19:35.769
Really, man.
00:19:35.798 --> 00:19:39.638
That's where rally TV documentary is going to give us a little bit, but not a lot.
00:19:41.369 --> 00:19:41.640
Yeah.
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:43.964
I mean, I mean, we spent a lot of that.
00:19:43.964 --> 00:19:47.295
That was for capital improvements to the space to make, you know, like this very
00:19:47.449 --> 00:19:48.288
that's true.
00:19:50.835 --> 00:19:51.134
Okay.
00:19:51.134 --> 00:19:52.634
Well, you know, I don't know.
00:19:52.934 --> 00:19:58.634
Maybe it's easy for me to say, but it looks like from a tech perspective, their holdings are pretty simple.
00:19:58.634 --> 00:20:10.305
I see a lot of easy improvements, uh, would love to put their spreadsheet, uh, behind an authentication wall, for example, so that it's not so easy to access this very personal information.
00:20:10.545 --> 00:20:11.825
So some stuff to do here.
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:14.160
So far, pretty simple.
00:20:15.445 --> 00:20:22.286
I mean, I'm not thrilled about it, but I am excited about a new creative challenge.
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:24.980
That's a good way to look at it.
00:20:26.367 --> 00:20:26.938
oh boy.
00:20:27.416 --> 00:20:33.416
I wish I hadn't Googled this, uh, rough muster class.
00:20:37.215 --> 00:20:38.056
okay.
00:20:38.141 --> 00:20:40.421
is that really why they're doing lists?
00:20:42.352 --> 00:20:47.182
Yeah, this is, uh, negligent and its organization and supervision of race.
00:20:48.301 --> 00:20:49.471
Um,
00:20:49.576 --> 00:20:50.176
oh gosh.
00:20:50.207 --> 00:20:52.186
Do people get hurt at the races?
00:20:54.040 --> 00:20:54.431
A lot of
00:20:54.477 --> 00:20:55.257
Um,
00:20:56.836 --> 00:21:00.227
I mean the class, uh, it does, it's a class action.
00:21:00.227 --> 00:21:05.237
It doesn't list all of the people, but there are, there are several named folks in the suit.
00:21:05.507 --> 00:21:05.926
Sorry.
00:21:05.926 --> 00:21:08.116
I can't, it's really hard for me to read these.
00:21:08.116 --> 00:21:09.826
The legally stuff is just like
00:21:10.346 --> 00:21:11.067
so sure
00:21:11.396 --> 00:21:13.366
these people heard of type setting, uh,
00:21:15.356 --> 00:21:16.287
we would eat this.
00:21:17.280 --> 00:21:19.260
I'm sorry if there's a class action.
00:21:19.260 --> 00:21:20.671
There's no way we can sign this.
00:21:20.671 --> 00:21:26.431
I mean, if we get saddled with this like legal fees, it would make the money not worth it.
00:21:26.510 --> 00:21:30.891
Yeah, we have to at least be indemnified against it.
00:21:31.622 --> 00:21:32.491
yeah.
00:21:33.281 --> 00:21:36.701
is that what happens when class actions from one company?
00:21:38.560 --> 00:21:39.050
No, not trying.
00:21:39.977 --> 00:21:41.176
The class action.
00:21:41.176 --> 00:21:41.446
Okay.
00:21:41.446 --> 00:21:44.717
There's something super weird about the way this company was originally set up.
00:21:46.067 --> 00:21:53.896
The class action is specifically against the leadership of rough muster, rough muster.
00:21:54.376 --> 00:21:58.787
So it's ambiguous in the lawsuit, whether they're suing the company or the person,
00:21:59.517 --> 00:21:59.727
oh, no.
00:21:59.977 --> 00:22:02.866
the, which in fact is not the doing business as I did.
00:22:04.021 --> 00:22:04.862
Hang on this.
00:22:05.221 --> 00:22:05.432
this.
00:22:05.432 --> 00:22:06.241
is very familiar.
00:22:06.546 --> 00:22:07.836
Do we have any legal hours left?
00:22:07.895 --> 00:22:07.955
Yeah.
00:22:10.531 --> 00:22:12.092
I mean, yeah, probably not.
00:22:12.751 --> 00:22:13.321
Uh,
00:22:14.066 --> 00:22:14.996
Officiating The wedding.
00:22:15.571 --> 00:22:15.932
All right.
00:22:15.961 --> 00:22:16.261
Yeah.
00:22:16.291 --> 00:22:19.501
One of the appendices here, uh, okay.
00:22:19.531 --> 00:22:26.582
As part of taking on rough muster, they will be losing their brand identity.
00:22:26.642 --> 00:22:30.511
The reason that we get to make him, whatever employee we want is.
00:22:31.261 --> 00:22:42.781
It's because he's not allowed to be in a leadership position of any of the further events and all of this looks like these are terms that would essentially caused the class action to be invalidated.
00:22:44.560 --> 00:22:45.310
there we are.
00:22:46.810 --> 00:22:47.411
Okay.
00:22:48.616 --> 00:22:48.856
I
00:22:48.862 --> 00:22:49.942
Well, mystery solved.
00:22:49.942 --> 00:22:50.541
I guess
00:22:50.987 --> 00:22:51.376
though.
00:22:51.376 --> 00:22:54.856
Like, it seems like a lot of people fell off a cliff.
00:22:55.762 --> 00:22:56.813
the good news is.
00:22:58.083 --> 00:23:01.893
We can make sure that doesn't happen again, right?
00:23:01.893 --> 00:23:05.792
Like if, if it's our leadership in charge of these events,
00:23:06.626 --> 00:23:09.477
we can put couches at like the bottom of the cliff is what you're saying.
00:23:12.002 --> 00:23:12.992
avoid cliffs
00:23:13.281 --> 00:23:13.761
Yeah.
00:23:13.865 --> 00:23:15.336
of the class, a barrier to the cliff.
00:23:16.616 --> 00:23:16.916
Um,
00:23:16.982 --> 00:23:23.673
although a lot of these like really shares on Instagram are people who are like super stoked about how dangerous this.
00:23:24.290 --> 00:23:24.590
Right.
00:23:24.590 --> 00:23:26.631
It's like all five in one star reviews
00:23:27.873 --> 00:23:28.383
Yeah.
00:23:28.601 --> 00:23:30.040
and they all kind of say the same thing.
00:23:31.532 --> 00:23:31.772
Yeah.
00:23:31.772 --> 00:23:33.002
It's just, some people love it.
00:23:35.721 --> 00:23:39.471
Um, Hey, how are you feeling?
00:23:39.471 --> 00:23:45.652
Cause I feel like this is a huge operations to like, just be on the ground to run all of these events.
00:23:46.896 --> 00:23:48.997
Yeah, I mean, that is true.
00:23:49.086 --> 00:23:57.997
I mean, a whole team of, uh, hyper-masculine volunteers, uh, could help some things.
00:23:58.076 --> 00:24:00.309
Um, I don't know.
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:02.569
I guess I'm okay with.
00:24:04.615 --> 00:24:04.885
okay.
00:24:04.885 --> 00:24:06.536
Well, I'm the signing.
00:24:07.910 --> 00:24:09.619
Maybe it's the hormones.
00:24:09.955 --> 00:24:17.695
I signed, um, it's in, uh, yeah, I just, where we're, you know, we're at the clock.
00:24:17.905 --> 00:24:19.976
Uh, I don't, I don't want us to.
00:24:21.161 --> 00:24:24.911
To have our feelings, uh, hold us up to the point where we miss this.
00:24:24.971 --> 00:24:25.451
Uh,
00:24:26.914 --> 00:24:27.394
Um,
00:24:27.819 --> 00:24:29.079
I trust the four of us can figure it out.
00:24:30.461 --> 00:24:30.641
yeah.
00:24:30.671 --> 00:24:34.421
I also want to be clear if any, if anybody wants to veto, like I'm totally done with that.
00:24:34.451 --> 00:24:36.730
I just, I'm fine with it.
00:24:36.911 --> 00:24:38.230
Uh, so far.
00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:40.000
So that's why I went ahead and signed.
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.480
I don't, I just didn't want to be like a technical snafu holding us up.
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:44.250
no.
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:45.750
Um, I just signed it as well.
00:24:46.130 --> 00:24:56.869
I just, do you think this'll affect by, maybe I should have led with this, but rough muster did reach out to me about adopting that second twin that I'm having.
00:24:57.349 --> 00:24:59.940
Um, I don't know if I.
00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:02.660
I don't know.
00:25:02.660 --> 00:25:08.509
I don't think that's what I've totally related, but he seemed like a pretty good candidate.
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:10.069
All things considered.
00:25:11.625 --> 00:25:11.835
Uh,
00:25:14.786 --> 00:25:15.776
Yeah.
00:25:16.796 --> 00:25:33.355
I feel like maybe from a, from a care-taking perspective, given the class action suits about injuring people and putting them into dangerous injurious situations, maybe not such a great environment for raising a.
00:25:34.265 --> 00:25:34.984
Child.
00:25:35.045 --> 00:25:35.434
Yeah.
00:25:35.464 --> 00:25:40.625
I mean his, his, like, they did a lot of health tests on him basically.
00:25:40.625 --> 00:25:42.394
And his blood pressure was excellent.
00:25:42.515 --> 00:25:52.954
Uh, no family history of medical diseases, which I guess doesn't really matter if you're adopting, but, um, that was basically the information I got.
00:25:52.984 --> 00:25:54.095
So that looked great.
00:25:57.816 --> 00:26:02.766
but he didn't approach you about this as related.
00:26:03.971 --> 00:26:05.530
The series a investment, right?
00:26:06.484 --> 00:26:08.015
I don't think so.
00:26:08.075 --> 00:26:12.005
I mean, yeah, the applications come in like semi anonymously.
00:26:12.065 --> 00:26:30.545
You can usually figure out who it is and, um, Yeah, there was a few mentions of our investor, you know, investor who's invested in both of us is his name like, uh, I thought that was just coincidence.
00:26:32.789 --> 00:26:33.029
Hey,
00:26:33.065 --> 00:26:41.285
said things like, you know, this is very important to you in your company's future because of what I've heard from Jared.
00:26:41.644 --> 00:26:43.904
Um, but I mean, I just thought that was.
00:26:45.035 --> 00:26:46.325
Well-wishing kind of thing.
00:26:50.941 --> 00:27:02.701
I'm really worried about this kid, Kate, I I've been giving this a lot of thought and you know, now that bugs bees is fully grown and emancipated and making his own choices.
00:27:03.391 --> 00:27:07.830
Um, I'm really missing having that maternal sense in my life.
00:27:07.891 --> 00:27:09.391
And I think Kate,
00:27:10.290 --> 00:27:10.381
Um,
00:27:11.070 --> 00:27:12.931
I am ready to adopt that child.
00:27:15.346 --> 00:27:16.067
Wow.
00:27:17.451 --> 00:27:21.141
I've got to, then I thought you were going to suggest it bugs me and adopt the child.
00:27:22.105 --> 00:27:24.746
Bugsby is far too immature to adopt a child.
00:27:24.746 --> 00:27:31.465
And especially after what he did in the, you know, Iowa race, I, I just don't trust his moral judgment anymore.
00:27:31.711 --> 00:27:31.980
Yeah.
00:27:32.040 --> 00:27:32.401
Wow.
00:27:34.201 --> 00:27:34.590
Wow.
00:27:35.016 --> 00:27:35.675
I would love
00:27:35.865 --> 00:27:37.246
please don't hold that against me.
00:27:37.246 --> 00:27:39.645
I mean, I tried my best with bikes B I'm really,
00:27:39.726 --> 00:27:40.086
Oh,
00:27:40.215 --> 00:27:44.776
forward to take, you know, really pushing harder on this one.
00:27:45.465 --> 00:27:50.026
Yeah, no, I think I be pushing hard on babies is like great.
00:27:50.840 --> 00:28:00.861
You know, I mean, you don't want to push hard on their heads because they're malleable for like several months, but yeah, they emotionally, it's the right thing to do.
00:28:02.116 --> 00:28:10.666
and raising a human child is going to be very different in many respects from raising, uh, Cynthia and mascot.
00:28:13.260 --> 00:28:13.651
I hope.
00:28:14.060 --> 00:28:18.411
In many ways, it will be easier because you're not having to create everything while raising it.
00:28:18.411 --> 00:28:23.871
I mean, the child already comes with like a personality and flash and all of those pieces.
00:28:24.941 --> 00:28:26.020
That's so true.
00:28:26.136 --> 00:28:26.436
Yeah.
00:28:26.527 --> 00:28:34.287
And isn't, uh, automatically, you know, part of the internet, which, um, yeah, it's, it's been rough for.
00:28:35.381 --> 00:28:39.760
Well, I think then honestly, most of my problems have been solved today.
00:28:39.881 --> 00:28:47.351
Um, and I think, you know, this, this muster guy he'll, he'll just have to accept that he doesn't get to adopt a child.
00:28:48.431 --> 00:28:50.290
He'll probably be fine with that and not hold it against.
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:50.990
will go wrong.
00:28:51.477 --> 00:28:57.567
let's make sure all the series a paperwork is finalized before you respond.
00:28:57.926 --> 00:28:58.376
Yeah.
00:28:58.645 --> 00:28:59.036
Okay.
00:28:59.695 --> 00:29:00.326
Well then
00:29:00.416 --> 00:29:00.777
God.
00:29:00.777 --> 00:29:03.537
I hate, I hate even saying that because of.
00:29:04.406 --> 00:29:05.366
It shouldn't be business.
00:29:05.396 --> 00:29:06.957
It's super, super weird.
00:29:06.957 --> 00:29:08.547
This is tangled up in the company.

00:30:19.510 --> 00:30:41.621
And, um, you know, during the GDPR issues, I was worried, I was really worried about our cookies and stuff, but now I realize that it led to so much more and honestly, Cookies that you chose instead of the cake art, just so beautiful in such a way to kind of tie the bow.
00:30:42.371 --> 00:30:43.270
So thank you.
00:30:44.141 --> 00:30:44.500

I mean, just the story that we're going to be able to tell about CIT and thank you, Kate, because I didn't even think about the possibility that someday down the line, I will be Natasha Richardson and our kids will break you up so that I can marry any one of you.
00:31:28.866 --> 00:31:31.916
Um, I'm just putting it out there.
00:31:31.926 --> 00:31:36.906

00:31:52.560 --> 00:32:02.101
I mean, classic, uh, I remember the shouting matches, uh, in the server room, uh, like in the individual.
00:32:02.955 --> 00:32:14.296
Cases, uh, Laura's have you, uh, you know, confronting David with every GDPR, take down a request and CCPA compliance, uh, request for information.
00:32:14.715 --> 00:32:19.875
Um, and, and seemingly, uh, you know, we talked about bullying.
00:32:19.996 --> 00:32:38.145
Uh, it seemed a little bit like bullying, but, uh, then that turned into sharing meals together, uh, you know, going through that paperwork together and, uh, It was just a really, truly strange thing to see, uh, happen.
00:32:38.145 --> 00:32:39.736
And I'm so happy for both of you.
00:32:39.736 --> 00:32:48.346

And I wish you both, uh,
00:32:53.269 --> 00:33:19.087
Well, Laura Larson, David, uh, you know, you, you really have shown what it, what is possible, um, you know, here in life and not just at work, but, you know, patience and grace and collaboration, and, you know, From now on I'll I'll always have a Trump card to play when anybody says they can't team up with, with engineering.
00:33:19.087 --> 00:33:19.988
So thank you for that.
00:33:20.377 --> 00:33:21.367
Um, yeah.
00:33:21.518 --> 00:33:24.278
If, if you two could do it, then anybody could do it.
00:33:24.337 --> 00:33:34.387
And, uh, you, know, you, as you've pointed out many times you have the right to be forgotten, but I hope you never choose to exercise that.

Right.
00:33:34.953 --> 00:33:35.193

chapter ended chapter beginning.
00:34:02.269 --> 00:34:20.539
is months of like really questionable moral decisions, moral decisions, ethics, uh, finance, logistics, uh, we've had every hurdle thrown at us and we have, uh, jumped or bodily thrown ourselves over each one.
00:34:21.018 --> 00:34:24.798
And, and I just hate congrats that it feels weird.
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:25.728

No thinking about hurdles.
00:34:31.878 --> 00:34:35.478
I wonder maybe I should sign up for one of these things.
00:34:36.092 --> 00:34:36.722
Think we got to
00:34:37.188 --> 00:34:40.009
where is the next rough mustard near us?
00:34:40.458 --> 00:34:40.548
Do
00:34:40.577 --> 00:34:42.797
Maybe we should all do one together.
00:34:42.797 --> 00:34:43.487
Yeah.
00:34:43.518 --> 00:34:45.108

00:34:56.108 --> 00:34:58.568

Oh,
00:01:44.350 --> 00:01:44.740

I'm so flustered, but we're, we're here.
00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:10.550

00:03:19.526 --> 00:03:23.575
had like a highlighter or something for what changed, because these are.
00:03:24.545 --> 00:03:28.866
Wait, uh, section 12.
00:03:29.064 --> 00:03:29.724
changes.
00:03:31.764 --> 00:03:32.754
What'd he say in section 12?
00:03:33.336 --> 00:03:38.316
I just, there wasn't a section 12 before I remember if it's 12 was my favorite number.
00:03:38.406 --> 00:03:44.645
Um, and so I was thinking, you know, section 12 will be my favorite and then there wasn't one, but now there, now there is one.
00:03:45.574 --> 00:03:45.965
oh, yeah.
00:03:45.995 --> 00:03:47.405
Jumped to an 11 to 13.
00:03:47.405 --> 00:03:52.685
Last time I remember saying I look weird because usually you skipped 13, but I think it was a mistake.
00:03:52.715 --> 00:03:54.754
Maybe there was a place holder that you were missing.
00:03:54.965 --> 00:03:55.384
Okay.
00:03:55.580 --> 00:03:59.570
different cultures have different numbers that they find a nerving.
00:03:59.790 --> 00:04:00.181
All right.
00:04:00.181 --> 00:04:07.471
Section 12, uh, additional additional assets and acquisitions
00:04:08.991 --> 00:04:09.770
assets.
00:04:10.381 --> 00:04:16.170
as part of the agreement, the entity known as CIT agrees to acquire,
00:04:16.764 --> 00:04:17.425
Oh, wow.
00:04:17.610 --> 00:04:18.511
hang on from.
00:04:19.656 --> 00:04:26.795
Uh, well, it looks like one of the investors wants to roll a company into sit, hang on.
00:04:26.795 --> 00:04:27.156
Who,
00:04:28.586 --> 00:04:30.536
uh, what com company?
00:04:30.596 --> 00:04:37.435
I, we, we definitely don't have any investors who have any type of couch marketplaces already in their investment portfolio.
00:04:37.435 --> 00:04:39.175
That that was a huge record.
00:04:40.125 --> 00:04:43.065
Yeah, no, that, I mean, that was a part of the whole.
00:04:43.971 --> 00:04:49.461
The series a thing was like, we wanted people to be on board with us as their couch marketplace.
00:04:49.461 --> 00:04:56.930
I mean, that's, maybe that's part of why they were kind of rude about us becoming the number one couch marketplace.
00:04:56.930 --> 00:04:58.040
Before we close.
00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:01.310
I'm going to, I'm going to get out my laptop.
00:05:01.370 --> 00:05:01.461
I
00:05:01.565 --> 00:05:02.975
what is this acquisition?
00:05:03.336 --> 00:05:06.216
All it says is rough
00:05:06.324 --> 00:05:06.834
her back
00:05:07.386 --> 00:05:07.805
LLC.
00:05:09.341 --> 00:05:10.060
What was that?
00:05:11.505 --> 00:05:13.216
Ruff Ruff.
00:05:13.305 --> 00:05:22.396
Like not, not like the dog, not mustard, no muster muster like a Custer, but not like custard.
00:05:22.396 --> 00:05:24.016
Like Custer's last stand.
00:05:24.016 --> 00:05:26.805
like a rollout, like a muster AB.
00:05:27.175 --> 00:05:27.535
yeah.
00:05:27.675 --> 00:05:28.336
Yeah.
00:05:28.675 --> 00:05:29.214
Okay.
00:05:30.435 --> 00:05:30.646
All right.
00:05:30.646 --> 00:05:31.096
They don't,
00:05:32.985 --> 00:05:34.096
What is it about Google?
00:05:34.755 --> 00:05:35.475
Uh,
00:05:35.646 --> 00:05:36.065
that.
00:05:36.076 --> 00:05:36.406
dang.
00:05:36.495 --> 00:05:37.636
have the.org.
00:05:38.536 --> 00:05:39.735
They don't have a.
00:05:40.971 --> 00:05:42.380
they do have a.co.
00:05:42.411 --> 00:05:42.951
Okay.
00:05:43.425 --> 00:05:43.875
Um,
00:05:44.091 --> 00:05:44.930
Is this them?
00:05:45.141 --> 00:05:45.711
Let me check.
00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:46.461
Uh,
00:05:47.295 --> 00:05:47.625
Yeah.
00:05:47.656 --> 00:05:48.125
Oh, this
00:05:48.216 --> 00:05:59.586
you mean that there is a rough month muster.com dot or in.org available, or that somehow there were two companies that chose this God awful name.
00:05:59.661 --> 00:06:03.920
no, weirdly, uh, both of those are available, so I guess,
00:06:04.646 --> 00:06:05.065
they just
00:06:05.271 --> 00:06:07.401
that on my to-do list to register this?
00:06:07.654 --> 00:06:08.464
Yeah.
00:06:08.531 --> 00:06:09.641
a brand, a
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.360
what are these folks do?
00:06:12.221 --> 00:06:13.331
that would be great.
00:06:13.415 --> 00:06:14.014
what's on the dot.
00:06:14.170 --> 00:06:14.800
question.
00:06:15.211 --> 00:06:20.130
is just like a slide show of people doing outdoor adventure sports.
00:06:21.084 --> 00:06:21.425
Oh, hold
00:06:21.490 --> 00:06:22.750
Oh God,
00:06:24.690 --> 00:06:24.870
Oh
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:31.480
there's some, they have a picture of a man who is maybe naked covered in mud.
00:06:32.091 --> 00:06:32.930
Yeah, there is.
00:06:33.095 --> 00:06:33.904
electrocuted
00:06:34.651 --> 00:06:41.370
Yeah, their Instagram is just all naked people doing yoga and wearing only sneakers.
00:06:41.370 --> 00:06:42.841
Are they a sneaker company
00:06:44.911 --> 00:06:45.091
It's
00:06:45.266 --> 00:06:46.016
a yoga com.
00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:47.161
no, hang on.
00:06:47.190 --> 00:06:47.850
They have,
00:06:47.870 --> 00:06:51.790
or maybe a, you know, down under pruning company?
00:06:51.790 --> 00:06:52.961
Cause I have to say
00:06:53.011 --> 00:06:53.430
that's a good
00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:57.940
everybody here, their pubic hair is very well coughed.
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.240
Looks like they're okay.
00:07:01.300 --> 00:07:07.841
I mean, the main thing, other than all of these photos and links to their social media on their website is, uh, events.
00:07:07.870 --> 00:07:09.730
And they've got events in,
00:07:09.750 --> 00:07:09.841
oh,
00:07:10.930 --> 00:07:16.211
it looks like a lot of cities, but it's like, it's at least like an hour outside of each city.
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:17.701
Oh,
00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:18.670
Yeah.
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:19.951
God.
00:07:19.951 --> 00:07:20.310
Yeah, I
00:07:20.440 --> 00:07:20.831
Okay.
00:07:20.831 --> 00:07:21.430
Here we go.
00:07:21.430 --> 00:07:23.081
Sign up for the one near you.
00:07:24.141 --> 00:07:25.161
Coming soon.
00:07:25.221 --> 00:07:31.641
The Annapolis, no fun run is not actually in Annapolis.
00:07:31.711 --> 00:07:32.880
No fun run.
00:07:33.021 --> 00:07:33.560
Yeah.
00:07:34.591 --> 00:07:36.511
who would sign up for something like that?
00:07:37.350 --> 00:07:38.730
Well, what.
00:07:40.314 --> 00:07:44.964
first, first prize is a pair of a used sneakers.
00:07:47.451 --> 00:07:47.841
huh?
00:07:48.490 --> 00:07:49.050
Oh,
00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:52.040
signed by the original rough mustard.
00:07:52.776 --> 00:07:53.346
Themselves.
00:07:53.375 --> 00:07:53.886
Oh, hang on.
00:07:53.915 --> 00:07:54.605
This is, this
00:07:54.675 --> 00:07:55.725
the rough muster.
00:07:55.785 --> 00:07:57.254
Uh, oh no.
00:07:57.285 --> 00:07:59.084
Well, that's him.
00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:02.240
I that's.
00:08:03.110 --> 00:08:05.779
That's the same signature on this.
00:08:06.139 --> 00:08:06.980
That's the CEO.
00:08:08.615 --> 00:08:11.404
that is not what he's looked like in previous meetings.
00:08:12.576 --> 00:08:12.935
yeah.
00:08:12.966 --> 00:08:16.235
Well, I mean he, the mud washes off, I assume.
00:08:17.646 --> 00:08:18.696
Uh, sorry.
00:08:18.696 --> 00:08:20.495
Uh, Kathy, what did you say was on the signup?
00:08:21.564 --> 00:08:21.865
yeah.
00:08:21.894 --> 00:08:38.004
On the signup form, they ask you for the phone number of your mother, your most terrifying teacher and your elementary school bully for quote unquote research.
00:08:38.826 --> 00:08:39.066
Yeah.
00:08:39.076 --> 00:08:39.576
Wow.
00:08:40.982 --> 00:08:43.562
there's a bunch of different tiers to sign up at two.
00:08:43.562 --> 00:08:45.482
If you want to do the four hour run.
00:08:46.263 --> 00:08:51.873
The eight hour deep woods immersive experience or the 24 hour survival challenge.
00:08:52.417 --> 00:08:52.956
goodness.
00:08:54.197 --> 00:08:55.488
Oh, wait, I
00:08:55.753 --> 00:08:56.623
they're in events.
00:08:56.623 --> 00:08:59.322
They're like a extreme sports events company.
00:08:59.832 --> 00:09:01.842
Is this is, oh, I just got it.
00:09:02.202 --> 00:09:02.802
It's like tough.
00:09:02.832 --> 00:09:03.822
It's like tough Mudder.
00:09:04.092 --> 00:09:12.342
It's like, have you guys ever, I've never done one of these, but like every big Corp I've worked at has had some weekend retreat that, yeah.
00:09:12.342 --> 00:09:13.482
That like I'm refusing.
00:09:14.168 --> 00:09:18.908
Yeah, no, I, I did want to, once I got stabbed in the Facebook barbed wire, but I mean,
00:09:19.246 --> 00:09:19.697
Oh,
00:09:20.618 --> 00:09:25.268
wait, so we have 15 minutes to decide if we're going to acquire this company or not.
00:09:25.383 --> 00:09:26.312
I forgot about the clock.
00:09:26.312 --> 00:09:26.702
Yeah.
00:09:26.793 --> 00:09:27.243
Um,
00:09:27.956 --> 00:09:28.226
Are there,
00:09:30.697 --> 00:09:31.837
already signed this.
00:09:31.898 --> 00:09:32.168
Oh my God.
00:09:33.027 --> 00:09:34.557
how, how, how much is it?
00:09:34.557 --> 00:09:38.126
Like, do we hit, did you have any financials?
00:09:38.126 --> 00:09:40.947
Like we, if we don't, if it doesn't work out, we can just shut it.
00:09:41.957 --> 00:09:42.227
Okay.
00:09:42.227 --> 00:09:44.357
They do, they did attach a due diligence stack.
00:09:44.357 --> 00:09:45.138
Let's open that.
00:09:45.587 --> 00:09:46.187
Um,
00:09:46.337 --> 00:09:46.788
Okay.
00:09:47.836 --> 00:09:48.586
wow.
00:09:48.616 --> 00:09:49.067
Okay.
00:09:49.067 --> 00:09:52.216
So pretty high margin.
00:09:52.726 --> 00:09:59.206
Um, it seems like they charge$600 for the 24 hour experience.
00:10:00.027 --> 00:10:03.476
Only cost them 30 per person.
00:10:03.482 --> 00:10:10.923
Uh, because the survival experience provides no food and all of the, uh warden's yeah.
00:10:10.923 --> 00:10:12.332
They call them event wardens.
00:10:12.363 --> 00:10:13.263
They're all volunteers.
00:10:14.822 --> 00:10:15.153
Okay.
00:10:15.153 --> 00:10:17.312
What are, what are muster points?
00:10:18.453 --> 00:10:20.224
Oh, like a loyalty program.
00:10:20.424 --> 00:10:26.004
Yeah, I'm more than a loyalty program.
00:10:26.034 --> 00:10:26.554
Hang on.
00:10:26.664 --> 00:10:28.105
Must have rewards.
00:10:28.134 --> 00:10:29.544
It's like a currency.
00:10:31.239 --> 00:10:33.938
is anyone else keeps hearing mustard?
00:10:35.198 --> 00:10:35.318
I
00:10:35.394 --> 00:10:36.144
know what you mean.
00:10:36.249 --> 00:10:36.759
but
00:10:36.874 --> 00:10:39.724
very clear, a little too close for comfort, honestly.
00:10:40.299 --> 00:10:45.940
I, this is just, I mean, the hard thing here is what, what are our options, right?
00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:52.600
Do we send this back with strikes through, do we need to get the Mr.
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.049
Rough muster on the horn and see what's going on here?
00:10:56.049 --> 00:10:56.279
I mean,
00:10:56.634 --> 00:10:56.933
Wow.
00:10:57.899 --> 00:11:10.679
This sounds like he's either trying to get access to the capital or the people that we have, or to fob this business off on John or on us.
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:11.129
Really.
00:11:11.524 --> 00:11:12.844
it's clearly not a money loser.
00:11:12.844 --> 00:11:13.384
So
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:15.480
That's true.
00:11:15.509 --> 00:11:15.870
Although.
00:11:16.094 --> 00:11:23.594
but it's a totally different, I mean, uh, we have no experience in events, marketing.
00:11:25.019 --> 00:11:27.570
I mean, I don't know if I would say no experience.
00:11:27.570 --> 00:11:33.840
We've certainly had to do plenty of events work for, uh, all the political campaigns.
00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:36.750
I mean, you have the, the, the local
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:36.849
of
00:11:36.870 --> 00:11:37.919
the state stuff.
00:11:38.068 --> 00:11:39.359
Yeah, that's true.
00:11:40.139 --> 00:11:40.678
I don't know.
00:11:40.678 --> 00:11:58.739
I just, I feel like this is a very masculine hate yourself kind of brand, and I'm all about exploring the human darkness of the soul, but it just feels like tying our brand to this is going to change how people see CIT.
00:11:59.344 --> 00:12:02.374
I mean, you know, maybe that's what we need though.
00:12:02.374 --> 00:12:13.234
Like if our premier goal from the beginning was to shape, you know, the face of global trade and that, that includes hyper-masculine endurance races.
00:12:14.923 --> 00:12:16.274
Pit people against each other.
00:12:16.274 --> 00:12:24.374
I mean, if we want, if we want to be part of the whole, the whole thing, why, why not make this the second piece?
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.279
Uh, yeah.
00:12:28.394 --> 00:12:31.274
year roadmap, but I mean, this was on there.
00:12:31.303 --> 00:12:32.024
It was on there.
00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:46.600
They do have a roadmap at the end of that due diligence deck, where they talk about, um, ideas of collaborating with us, you know, it's like a exercise bench slash lounger.
00:12:48.009 --> 00:12:50.049
And look at that home exercise equipment.
00:12:51.789 --> 00:12:52.450
Wow.
00:12:52.504 --> 00:12:52.984
logo on it.
00:12:55.690 --> 00:12:56.500
Oh, okay.
00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:57.940
Some of this makes sense to
00:12:58.370 --> 00:12:58.730
at our little.
00:12:58.870 --> 00:13:05.200
like sit, branded, um, like a cool-down area.
00:13:06.389 --> 00:13:06.720
Hang on.
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:07.110
What are they?
00:13:07.289 --> 00:13:12.240
They call these on the course, uh, oh, quitter centers.
00:13:12.269 --> 00:13:12.690
Okay.
00:13:12.990 --> 00:13:13.889
That's, that's a rude,
00:13:14.289 --> 00:13:15.700
quitter sitters.
00:13:15.789 --> 00:13:16.659
Oh no.
00:13:16.803 --> 00:13:17.394
to love that,
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.220
looking at an endurance event, like people need to rest.
00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:21.389
I don't know who I'm telling this.
00:13:23.570 --> 00:13:27.860
It seems like they used set a lot in these products, but it's a lot.
00:13:28.794 --> 00:13:35.424
Don't sit or sit no more or the anti set, you know?
00:13:36.914 --> 00:13:48.134
Yeah, it is really tough to reconcile with how much we've been a brand about pushing comfort and home and, uh, expressing yourself through leisure and.
00:13:48.403 --> 00:13:52.333
I mean, I'm just really glad we didn't go with com fleek.
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:53.269
Oh
00:13:53.947 --> 00:13:54.097
Yeah.
00:13:54.317 --> 00:13:55.726
that would have been a nightmare.
00:13:56.577 --> 00:13:57.207
Oh, God.
00:13:57.238 --> 00:13:57.748
Yeah.
00:13:57.918 --> 00:13:58.097
Yeah.
00:13:58.288 --> 00:14:04.077
At least some exercises you do actually sit like squatting is kind of like getting into the sit position.
00:14:04.991 --> 00:14:06.371
that's that's true.
00:14:07.631 --> 00:14:11.022
Well, I mean, like you were saying, like, what are our options here?
00:14:11.727 --> 00:14:12.268
yeah.
00:14:12.461 --> 00:14:16.782
he's he's bringing 33% of the rounds funding, so.
00:14:17.227 --> 00:14:17.437
Ooh.
00:14:17.706 --> 00:14:25.116
To re to replace that is, I don't know that we can, can wait another, however long it would take to, to replace it.
00:14:25.116 --> 00:14:28.836
I, I I'm, I'm, I'm kind of fine to take the lead on this.
00:14:29.102 --> 00:14:29.793
Yeah, here.
00:14:29.793 --> 00:14:33.033
Let's just go through and make sure we didn't miss any of the conditions.
00:14:33.092 --> 00:14:40.232
Um, for instance, oh, we have to figure out how, what this guy, what position this guy will get.
00:14:41.072 --> 00:14:47.673
He says he, it doesn't matter what his roles and responsibilities are as long as he's referred to as the Colonel.
00:14:49.292 --> 00:14:49.892
what.
00:14:50.312 --> 00:14:50.462
Yeah.
00:14:50.493 --> 00:14:50.732
He wants.
00:14:51.508 --> 00:14:52.677
Colonel muster.
00:14:54.381 --> 00:14:57.652
Wait, he wants to be Colonel muster and not mustard.
00:14:58.457 --> 00:14:58.967
Yes.
00:14:58.967 --> 00:15:03.258
He wants to keep the muster brand, uh, but be a Colonel.
00:15:03.751 --> 00:15:06.812
So on top of all of this, he wants us to call him a upon.
00:15:07.802 --> 00:15:07.922
Yeah.
00:15:09.623 --> 00:15:10.192
Yeah.
00:15:10.972 --> 00:15:13.403
You know, he is ex-military.
00:15:14.272 --> 00:15:14.601
And.
00:15:15.802 --> 00:15:18.471
None of us have interesting names.
00:15:20.852 --> 00:15:23.613
Yeah, no, he, he is a Colonel.
00:15:23.883 --> 00:15:24.393
He was, or
00:15:24.591 --> 00:15:25.552
Oh, he's actually, it was, a
00:15:25.692 --> 00:15:27.942
Oh, that's okay.
00:15:28.152 --> 00:15:29.652
That makes a little more sense.
00:15:29.711 --> 00:15:31.751
Is his last name muster though?
00:15:32.986 --> 00:15:33.317
Yeah.
00:15:33.317 --> 00:15:34.096
I mean, well, yeah.
00:15:34.187 --> 00:15:34.756
That's
00:15:36.645 --> 00:15:38.025
Yeah, but he, he changed it.
00:15:38.326 --> 00:15:40.816
He changed it to muster when he was
00:15:41.006 --> 00:15:43.706
Legally that's not, that's not his doing business as name.
00:15:43.917 --> 00:15:45.567
Uh, but it's yeah,
00:15:46.760 --> 00:15:47.280
No.
00:15:47.307 --> 00:15:47.907
still using.
00:15:49.881 --> 00:16:01.042
I, I don't know, did I, I did a walk through of a bunch of the potential investor portfolios and, uh, the background information on them, uh, most of his money was, was family money.
00:16:01.042 --> 00:16:09.081
So he uses the family name for kind of doing business as, but, uh, he's, he's leaned really hard into this, uh, rough muster personality,
00:16:10.880 --> 00:16:12.020
I can tell.
00:16:12.081 --> 00:16:12.530
Yeah.
00:16:12.561 --> 00:16:13.160
Wow.
00:16:14.086 --> 00:16:14.475
Okay.
00:16:14.535 --> 00:16:14.985
Okay.
00:16:15.076 --> 00:16:24.586
Um, they also say that, um, they would like their volunteer program to continue, uh, looking for opportunities for volunteers to
00:16:24.711 --> 00:16:24.921
Okay.
00:16:26.145 --> 00:16:29.625
How should you use the word work in our warehouse?
00:16:30.625 --> 00:16:31.586
Wait, what.
00:16:32.451 --> 00:16:33.081
oh yeah.
00:16:33.111 --> 00:16:35.331
This is a whole section about synergies.
00:16:35.910 --> 00:16:37.081
Yeah, they're saying we
00:16:37.192 --> 00:16:40.731
muster community is full of hardworking diligent people who are.
00:16:42.081 --> 00:16:44.601
put to work at lower, no costs.
00:16:45.501 --> 00:16:48.802
And there's a whole list of wow.
00:16:48.831 --> 00:16:50.542
Just links to yeah.
00:16:50.562 --> 00:16:51.501
Spreadsheets
00:16:52.171 --> 00:16:52.681
and,
00:16:52.731 --> 00:16:53.422
emails.
00:16:54.150 --> 00:16:57.961
and their mother's phone numbers and the childhood books.
00:16:59.350 --> 00:16:59.860
Oh,
00:17:00.346 --> 00:17:10.546
So the, you using the name of the child hood bully as the manager of this person helps motivate them.
00:17:10.996 --> 00:17:11.715
Interesting.
00:17:12.261 --> 00:17:13.251
This is very detailed.
00:17:14.070 --> 00:17:15.961
Oh, wait, what the hell
00:17:17.332 --> 00:17:17.842
Uh, what'd you
00:17:17.881 --> 00:17:20.010
I I'm I'm listed as a bully.
00:17:22.221 --> 00:17:23.602
it's about by her by whom?
00:17:24.036 --> 00:17:24.125
Uh,
00:17:24.415 --> 00:17:25.705
Who did you bully?
00:17:26.615 --> 00:17:32.165
some, some Jackson white bird in Missouri
00:17:32.751 --> 00:17:34.192
do he will do, you know, a Jackson Jacksonville.
00:17:34.355 --> 00:17:34.976
Yeah.
00:17:35.435 --> 00:17:36.486
doesn't ring a bell.
00:17:38.332 --> 00:17:41.092
Did you go to like elementary school in Missouri?
00:17:41.092 --> 00:17:41.422
What?
00:17:41.461 --> 00:17:41.641
Yeah.
00:17:43.875 --> 00:17:44.385
Oh,
00:17:45.152 --> 00:17:46.561
I mean, they could have moved to Missouri by now.
00:17:46.561 --> 00:17:47.102
I guess.
00:17:47.625 --> 00:17:48.135
No, I didn't.
00:17:48.165 --> 00:17:50.205
I mean, I didn't, but I did know it.
00:17:50.215 --> 00:17:50.986
I didn't know that Jack.
00:17:52.711 --> 00:17:58.290
And I kicked a Jackson in the face and kickball,
00:17:59.685 --> 00:18:00.046
Oh my
00:18:00.461 --> 00:18:02.111
but that was, that was part of the game.
00:18:02.111 --> 00:18:04.151
It was it wasn't I wasn't doing it on purpose.
00:18:04.151 --> 00:18:05.320
He was playing second base.
00:18:05.320 --> 00:18:07.000
I hit a good kick
00:18:07.461 --> 00:18:08.811
oh, you with the ball, you
00:18:08.830 --> 00:18:09.580
with the ball.
00:18:09.580 --> 00:18:12.070
No, no, I didn't I didn't punch somebody or kick somebody.
00:18:12.070 --> 00:18:12.971
No, I kicked them.
00:18:13.030 --> 00:18:13.901
Keep the ball,
00:18:14.185 --> 00:18:14.516
really
00:18:14.632 --> 00:18:20.392
heard, I heard, I kicked a Jackson in the face and I assume that was, that was foot to face.
00:18:21.070 --> 00:18:21.260
Yeah.
00:18:21.260 --> 00:18:22.361
Yeah, I understand.
00:18:22.361 --> 00:18:24.580
But no, but, but that was it.
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.260
Well, seems like Jackson, white bird had a pretty nice life up until that
00:18:30.521 --> 00:18:32.682
Yeah, maybe that's the worst thing that ever happened to Jackson.
00:18:33.621 --> 00:18:34.040
yeah.
00:18:35.171 --> 00:18:35.411
Okay.
00:18:35.411 --> 00:18:37.570
Now I'm, now I'm really in, like, I feel like I.
00:18:38.596 --> 00:18:38.955
Sure.
00:18:38.955 --> 00:18:39.405
Sure.
00:18:39.885 --> 00:18:41.806
I mean, yeah, don't worry.
00:18:41.806 --> 00:18:44.476
We all have done things in our past that had affects.
00:18:44.476 --> 00:18:46.816
We didn't think about, I mean, remember Mike?
00:18:47.415 --> 00:18:48.316
I didn't even stop.
00:18:48.316 --> 00:18:49.306
I just ran to first base.
00:18:49.306 --> 00:18:50.806
I didn't even check if he was okay,
00:18:51.340 --> 00:18:52.090
Oh, my God.
00:18:52.726 --> 00:18:53.175
Well,
00:18:53.476 --> 00:18:55.336
was seven it's kickball.
00:18:56.266 --> 00:18:57.675
I'm not that school nurse.
00:18:58.548 --> 00:18:59.209
Wow.
00:18:59.903 --> 00:19:01.884
Have you, you don't want me to get defensive?
00:19:02.263 --> 00:19:04.483
Um, and I'm questioning a lot
00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:06.769
okay.
00:19:06.769 --> 00:19:09.109
Well, we're really close to deadline on this.
00:19:09.109 --> 00:19:13.490
Yeah, we, we need, we need to start signing, I guess.
00:19:13.490 --> 00:19:14.839
I don't know what there is to discuss.
00:19:15.930 --> 00:19:18.329
We're kind of up against the wall here.
00:19:18.329 --> 00:19:23.730
If we sign this, then the thing goes forward and we're saddled with this albatross, whatever it's going to be.
00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:29.009
If we don't sign what the deal's off, uh, are we going to be in another six months of
00:19:29.249 --> 00:19:29.878
I know.
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:31.829
Like we're running out of runway here.
00:19:31.959 --> 00:19:34.179
We, we are really out of runway.
00:19:34.269 --> 00:19:35.769
Really, man.
00:19:35.798 --> 00:19:39.638
That's where rally TV documentary is going to give us a little bit, but not a lot.
00:19:41.369 --> 00:19:41.640
Yeah.
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:43.964
I mean, I mean, we spent a lot of that.
00:19:43.964 --> 00:19:47.295
That was for capital improvements to the space to make, you know, like this very
00:19:47.449 --> 00:19:48.288
that's true.
00:19:50.835 --> 00:19:51.134
Okay.
00:19:51.134 --> 00:19:52.634
Well, you know, I don't know.
00:19:52.934 --> 00:19:58.634
Maybe it's easy for me to say, but it looks like from a tech perspective, their holdings are pretty simple.
00:19:58.634 --> 00:20:10.305
I see a lot of easy improvements, uh, would love to put their spreadsheet, uh, behind an authentication wall, for example, so that it's not so easy to access this very personal information.
00:20:10.545 --> 00:20:11.825
So some stuff to do here.
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:14.160
So far, pretty simple.
00:20:15.445 --> 00:20:22.286
I mean, I'm not thrilled about it, but I am excited about a new creative challenge.
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:24.980
That's a good way to look at it.
00:20:26.367 --> 00:20:26.938
oh boy.
00:20:27.416 --> 00:20:33.416
I wish I hadn't Googled this, uh, rough muster class.
00:20:37.215 --> 00:20:38.056
okay.
00:20:38.141 --> 00:20:40.421
is that really why they're doing lists?
00:20:42.352 --> 00:20:47.182
Yeah, this is, uh, negligent and its organization and supervision of race.
00:20:48.301 --> 00:20:49.471
Um,
00:20:49.576 --> 00:20:50.176
oh gosh.
00:20:50.207 --> 00:20:52.186
Do people get hurt at the races?
00:20:54.040 --> 00:20:54.431
A lot of
00:20:54.477 --> 00:20:55.257
Um,
00:20:56.836 --> 00:21:00.227
I mean the class, uh, it does, it's a class action.
00:21:00.227 --> 00:21:05.237
It doesn't list all of the people, but there are, there are several named folks in the suit.
00:21:05.507 --> 00:21:05.926
Sorry.
00:21:05.926 --> 00:21:08.116
I can't, it's really hard for me to read these.
00:21:08.116 --> 00:21:09.826
The legally stuff is just like
00:21:10.346 --> 00:21:11.067
so sure
00:21:11.396 --> 00:21:13.366
these people heard of type setting, uh,
00:21:15.356 --> 00:21:16.287
we would eat this.
00:21:17.280 --> 00:21:19.260
I'm sorry if there's a class action.
00:21:19.260 --> 00:21:20.671
There's no way we can sign this.
00:21:20.671 --> 00:21:26.431
I mean, if we get saddled with this like legal fees, it would make the money not worth it.
00:21:26.510 --> 00:21:30.891
Yeah, we have to at least be indemnified against it.
00:21:31.622 --> 00:21:32.491
yeah.
00:21:33.281 --> 00:21:36.701
is that what happens when class actions from one company?
00:21:38.560 --> 00:21:39.050
No, not trying.
00:21:39.977 --> 00:21:41.176
The class action.
00:21:41.176 --> 00:21:41.446
Okay.
00:21:41.446 --> 00:21:44.717
There's something super weird about the way this company was originally set up.
00:21:46.067 --> 00:21:53.896
The class action is specifically against the leadership of rough muster, rough muster.
00:21:54.376 --> 00:21:58.787
So it's ambiguous in the lawsuit, whether they're suing the company or the person,
00:21:59.517 --> 00:21:59.727
oh, no.
00:21:59.977 --> 00:22:02.866
the, which in fact is not the doing business as I did.
00:22:04.021 --> 00:22:04.862
Hang on this.
00:22:05.221 --> 00:22:05.432
this.
00:22:05.432 --> 00:22:06.241
is very familiar.
00:22:06.546 --> 00:22:07.836
Do we have any legal hours left?
00:22:07.895 --> 00:22:07.955
Yeah.
00:22:10.531 --> 00:22:12.092
I mean, yeah, probably not.
00:22:12.751 --> 00:22:13.321
Uh,
00:22:14.066 --> 00:22:14.996
Officiating The wedding.
00:22:15.571 --> 00:22:15.932
All right.
00:22:15.961 --> 00:22:16.261
Yeah.
00:22:16.291 --> 00:22:19.501
One of the appendices here, uh, okay.
00:22:19.531 --> 00:22:26.582
As part of taking on rough muster, they will be losing their brand identity.
00:22:26.642 --> 00:22:30.511
The reason that we get to make him, whatever employee we want is.
00:22:31.261 --> 00:22:42.781
It's because he's not allowed to be in a leadership position of any of the further events and all of this looks like these are terms that would essentially caused the class action to be invalidated.
00:22:44.560 --> 00:22:45.310
there we are.
00:22:46.810 --> 00:22:47.411
Okay.
00:22:48.616 --> 00:22:48.856
I
00:22:48.862 --> 00:22:49.942
Well, mystery solved.
00:22:49.942 --> 00:22:50.541
I guess
00:22:50.987 --> 00:22:51.376
though.
00:22:51.376 --> 00:22:54.856
Like, it seems like a lot of people fell off a cliff.
00:22:55.762 --> 00:22:56.813
the good news is.
00:22:58.083 --> 00:23:01.893
We can make sure that doesn't happen again, right?
00:23:01.893 --> 00:23:05.792
Like if, if it's our leadership in charge of these events,
00:23:06.626 --> 00:23:09.477
we can put couches at like the bottom of the cliff is what you're saying.
00:23:12.002 --> 00:23:12.992
avoid cliffs
00:23:13.281 --> 00:23:13.761
Yeah.
00:23:13.865 --> 00:23:15.336
of the class, a barrier to the cliff.
00:23:16.616 --> 00:23:16.916
Um,
00:23:16.982 --> 00:23:23.673
although a lot of these like really shares on Instagram are people who are like super stoked about how dangerous this.
00:23:24.290 --> 00:23:24.590
Right.
00:23:24.590 --> 00:23:26.631
It's like all five in one star reviews
00:23:27.873 --> 00:23:28.383
Yeah.
00:23:28.601 --> 00:23:30.040
and they all kind of say the same thing.
00:23:31.532 --> 00:23:31.772
Yeah.
00:23:31.772 --> 00:23:33.002
It's just, some people love it.
00:23:35.721 --> 00:23:39.471
Um, Hey, how are you feeling?
00:23:39.471 --> 00:23:45.652
Cause I feel like this is a huge operations to like, just be on the ground to run all of these events.
00:23:46.896 --> 00:23:48.997
Yeah, I mean, that is true.
00:23:49.086 --> 00:23:57.997
I mean, a whole team of, uh, hyper-masculine volunteers, uh, could help some things.
00:23:58.076 --> 00:24:00.309
Um, I don't know.
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:02.569
I guess I'm okay with.
00:24:04.615 --> 00:24:04.885
okay.
00:24:04.885 --> 00:24:06.536
Well, I'm the signing.
00:24:07.910 --> 00:24:09.619
Maybe it's the hormones.
00:24:09.955 --> 00:24:17.695
I signed, um, it's in, uh, yeah, I just, where we're, you know, we're at the clock.
00:24:17.905 --> 00:24:19.976
Uh, I don't, I don't want us to.
00:24:21.161 --> 00:24:24.911
To have our feelings, uh, hold us up to the point where we miss this.
00:24:24.971 --> 00:24:25.451
Uh,
00:24:26.914 --> 00:24:27.394
Um,
00:24:27.819 --> 00:24:29.079
I trust the four of us can figure it out.
00:24:30.461 --> 00:24:30.641
yeah.
00:24:30.671 --> 00:24:34.421
I also want to be clear if any, if anybody wants to veto, like I'm totally done with that.
00:24:34.451 --> 00:24:36.730
I just, I'm fine with it.
00:24:36.911 --> 00:24:38.230
Uh, so far.
00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:40.000
So that's why I went ahead and signed.
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.480
I don't, I just didn't want to be like a technical snafu holding us up.
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:44.250
no.
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:45.750
Um, I just signed it as well.
00:24:46.130 --> 00:24:56.869
I just, do you think this'll affect by, maybe I should have led with this, but rough muster did reach out to me about adopting that second twin that I'm having.
00:24:57.349 --> 00:24:59.940
Um, I don't know if I.
00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:02.660
I don't know.
00:25:02.660 --> 00:25:08.509
I don't think that's what I've totally related, but he seemed like a pretty good candidate.
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:10.069
All things considered.
00:25:11.625 --> 00:25:11.835
Uh,
00:25:14.786 --> 00:25:15.776
Yeah.
00:25:16.796 --> 00:25:33.355
I feel like maybe from a, from a care-taking perspective, given the class action suits about injuring people and putting them into dangerous injurious situations, maybe not such a great environment for raising a.
00:25:34.265 --> 00:25:34.984
Child.
00:25:35.045 --> 00:25:35.434
Yeah.
00:25:35.464 --> 00:25:40.625
I mean his, his, like, they did a lot of health tests on him basically.
00:25:40.625 --> 00:25:42.394
And his blood pressure was excellent.
00:25:42.515 --> 00:25:52.954
Uh, no family history of medical diseases, which I guess doesn't really matter if you're adopting, but, um, that was basically the information I got.
00:25:52.984 --> 00:25:54.095
So that looked great.
00:25:57.816 --> 00:26:02.766
but he didn't approach you about this as related.
00:26:03.971 --> 00:26:05.530
The series a investment, right?
00:26:06.484 --> 00:26:08.015
I don't think so.
00:26:08.075 --> 00:26:12.005
I mean, yeah, the applications come in like semi anonymously.
00:26:12.065 --> 00:26:30.545
You can usually figure out who it is and, um, Yeah, there was a few mentions of our investor, you know, investor who's invested in both of us is his name like, uh, I thought that was just coincidence.
00:26:32.789 --> 00:26:33.029
Hey,
00:26:33.065 --> 00:26:41.285
said things like, you know, this is very important to you in your company's future because of what I've heard from Jared.
00:26:41.644 --> 00:26:43.904
Um, but I mean, I just thought that was.
00:26:45.035 --> 00:26:46.325
Well-wishing kind of thing.
00:26:50.941 --> 00:27:02.701
I'm really worried about this kid, Kate, I I've been giving this a lot of thought and you know, now that bugs bees is fully grown and emancipated and making his own choices.
00:27:03.391 --> 00:27:07.830
Um, I'm really missing having that maternal sense in my life.
00:27:07.891 --> 00:27:09.391
And I think Kate,
00:27:10.290 --> 00:27:10.381
Um,
00:27:11.070 --> 00:27:12.931
I am ready to adopt that child.
00:27:15.346 --> 00:27:16.067
Wow.
00:27:17.451 --> 00:27:21.141
I've got to, then I thought you were going to suggest it bugs me and adopt the child.
00:27:22.105 --> 00:27:24.746
Bugsby is far too immature to adopt a child.
00:27:24.746 --> 00:27:31.465
And especially after what he did in the, you know, Iowa race, I, I just don't trust his moral judgment anymore.
00:27:31.711 --> 00:27:31.980
Yeah.
00:27:32.040 --> 00:27:32.401
Wow.
00:27:34.201 --> 00:27:34.590
Wow.
00:27:35.016 --> 00:27:35.675
I would love
00:27:35.865 --> 00:27:37.246
please don't hold that against me.
00:27:37.246 --> 00:27:39.645
I mean, I tried my best with bikes B I'm really,
00:27:39.726 --> 00:27:40.086
Oh,
00:27:40.215 --> 00:27:44.776
forward to take, you know, really pushing harder on this one.
00:27:45.465 --> 00:27:50.026
Yeah, no, I think I be pushing hard on babies is like great.
00:27:50.840 --> 00:28:00.861
You know, I mean, you don't want to push hard on their heads because they're malleable for like several months, but yeah, they emotionally, it's the right thing to do.
00:28:02.116 --> 00:28:10.666
and raising a human child is going to be very different in many respects from raising, uh, Cynthia and mascot.
00:28:13.260 --> 00:28:13.651
I hope.
00:28:14.060 --> 00:28:18.411
In many ways, it will be easier because you're not having to create everything while raising it.
00:28:18.411 --> 00:28:23.871
I mean, the child already comes with like a personality and flash and all of those pieces.
00:28:24.941 --> 00:28:26.020
That's so true.
00:28:26.136 --> 00:28:26.436
Yeah.
00:28:26.527 --> 00:28:34.287
And isn't, uh, automatically, you know, part of the internet, which, um, yeah, it's, it's been rough for.
00:28:35.381 --> 00:28:39.760
Well, I think then honestly, most of my problems have been solved today.
00:28:39.881 --> 00:28:47.351
Um, and I think, you know, this, this muster guy he'll, he'll just have to accept that he doesn't get to adopt a child.
00:28:48.431 --> 00:28:50.290
He'll probably be fine with that and not hold it against.
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:50.990
will go wrong.
00:28:51.477 --> 00:28:57.567
let's make sure all the series a paperwork is finalized before you respond.
00:28:57.926 --> 00:28:58.376
Yeah.
00:28:58.645 --> 00:28:59.036
Okay.
00:28:59.695 --> 00:29:00.326
Well then
00:29:00.416 --> 00:29:00.777
God.
00:29:00.777 --> 00:29:03.537
I hate, I hate even saying that because of.
00:29:04.406 --> 00:29:05.366
It shouldn't be business.
00:29:05.396 --> 00:29:06.957
It's super, super weird.
00:29:06.957 --> 00:29:08.547
This is tangled up in the company.
00:29:08.997 --> 00:29:10.797
So your, your body K,
00:29:12.675 --> 00:29:14.955
and soon to be its own body.
00:29:16.935 --> 00:29:18.076
All right, I'm going to sign it.
00:29:19.557 --> 00:29:20.007
Okay.
00:29:20.757 --> 00:29:21.207
All right.
00:29:23.666 --> 00:29:24.326
Last two.
00:29:25.227 --> 00:29:25.527
Good.
00:29:25.527 --> 00:29:31.106
And just in time, cause I'm, might've looked qua and uh, they broke out the good stuff.
00:29:31.136 --> 00:29:31.916
The key lime.
00:29:33.162 --> 00:29:34.541
Yeah, well, special occasion.
00:29:35.021 --> 00:29:35.751
Uh, also, Yeah.
00:29:35.751 --> 00:29:39.491
Uh, if you guys watch this later, uh, congrats, Lars David,
00:29:39.895 --> 00:29:40.705
Yeah.
00:29:43.976 --> 00:29:46.195
Always remember this day for so many reasons.
00:29:49.145 --> 00:29:52.925
Should we also just like do our confessionals for Lars and David while we're here.
00:29:55.412 --> 00:29:55.981
uh,
00:29:58.705 --> 00:30:08.246
I can start, um, as the future mother of your baby, one of the babies, of course, the baby that you'll separate from its twin sister.
00:30:08.951 --> 00:30:14.711
For life that we promise to not talk about so that it would have a secret parent trip trap, like moment someday.
00:30:15.040 --> 00:30:19.480
Um, I'm just very, I just feel very connected to you both.
00:30:19.510 --> 00:30:41.621
And, um, you know, during the GDPR issues, I was worried, I was really worried about our cookies and stuff, but now I realize that it led to so much more and honestly, Cookies that you chose instead of the cake art, just so beautiful in such a way to kind of tie the bow.
00:30:42.371 --> 00:30:43.270
So thank you.
00:30:44.141 --> 00:30:44.500
Thank you.
00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:49.451
Larson David for making my life fuller and my stomach and multiple.
00:30:51.896 --> 00:30:52.136
Hmm.
00:30:52.512 --> 00:30:53.923
that's a, that's hard to follow.
00:30:54.116 --> 00:30:54.686
Yeah,
00:30:55.521 --> 00:30:56.211
honestly.
00:30:58.491 --> 00:31:00.922
Um, I guess I can go next.
00:31:00.951 --> 00:31:07.882
Um, Lars and David, I am so excited about.
00:31:09.067 --> 00:31:11.916
Our new birth of a documentary.
00:31:12.007 --> 00:31:28.356
I mean, just the story that we're going to be able to tell about CIT and thank you, Kate, because I didn't even think about the possibility that someday down the line, I will be Natasha Richardson and our kids will break you up so that I can marry any one of you.
00:31:28.866 --> 00:31:31.916
Um, I'm just putting it out there.
00:31:31.926 --> 00:31:36.906
It's probably a very long way away and I really wish you the best until that moment happens.
00:31:39.226 --> 00:31:39.945
uh, okay.
00:31:39.945 --> 00:31:42.435
I, I can, uh, I can go next.
00:31:44.101 --> 00:31:52.560
Uh, Larson David, uh, you know what, uh, what a real, uh, enemies to lovers story.
00:31:52.560 --> 00:32:02.101
I mean, classic, uh, I remember the shouting matches, uh, in the server room, uh, like in the individual.
00:32:02.955 --> 00:32:14.296
Cases, uh, Laura's have you, uh, you know, confronting David with every GDPR, take down a request and CCPA compliance, uh, request for information.
00:32:14.715 --> 00:32:19.875
Um, and, and seemingly, uh, you know, we talked about bullying.
00:32:19.996 --> 00:32:38.145
Uh, it seemed a little bit like bullying, but, uh, then that turned into sharing meals together, uh, you know, going through that paperwork together and, uh, It was just a really, truly strange thing to see, uh, happen.
00:32:38.145 --> 00:32:39.736
And I'm so happy for both of you.
00:32:39.736 --> 00:32:48.346
I'm so glad that you have found, uh, the, the opposite that attracts for you, you know, the piece that, uh, that helps complete your puzzle.
00:32:48.435 --> 00:32:49.875
And I wish you both, uh,
00:32:53.269 --> 00:33:19.087
Well, Laura Larson, David, uh, you know, you, you really have shown what it, what is possible, um, you know, here in life and not just at work, but, you know, patience and grace and collaboration, and, you know, From now on I'll I'll always have a Trump card to play when anybody says they can't team up with, with engineering.
00:33:19.087 --> 00:33:19.988
So thank you for that.
00:33:20.377 --> 00:33:21.367
Um, yeah.
00:33:21.518 --> 00:33:24.278
If, if you two could do it, then anybody could do it.
00:33:24.337 --> 00:33:34.387
And, uh, you, know, you, as you've pointed out many times you have the right to be forgotten, but I hope you never choose to exercise that.
00:33:34.397 --> 00:33:34.607
Right.
00:33:34.953 --> 00:33:35.193
yeah.
00:33:35.353 --> 00:33:36.853
That is so nice.
00:33:37.498 --> 00:33:37.827
Oh,
00:33:38.053 --> 00:33:38.742
nice.
00:33:40.948 --> 00:33:43.018
I mean, I, I think we're done here.
00:33:44.644 --> 00:33:45.094
Okay.
00:33:45.483 --> 00:33:51.364
Uh, everybody, that means, that means, I think that means we did it, right?
00:33:51.394 --> 00:33:57.304
Like that's that's series A closed.
00:33:57.483 --> 00:33:59.223
Uh, I mean, yeah.
00:33:59.363 --> 00:34:01.282
chapter ended chapter beginning.
00:34:02.269 --> 00:34:20.539
is months of like really questionable moral decisions, moral decisions, ethics, uh, finance, logistics, uh, we've had every hurdle thrown at us and we have, uh, jumped or bodily thrown ourselves over each one.
00:34:21.018 --> 00:34:24.798
And, and I just hate congrats that it feels weird.
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:25.728
It feels good.
00:34:26.059 --> 00:34:27.028
And, Uh,
00:34:27.063 --> 00:34:28.443
Uh, it really does.
00:34:30.378 --> 00:34:31.878
No thinking about hurdles.
00:34:31.878 --> 00:34:35.478
I wonder maybe I should sign up for one of these things.
00:34:36.092 --> 00:34:36.722
Think we got to
00:34:37.188 --> 00:34:40.009
where is the next rough mustard near us?
00:34:40.458 --> 00:34:40.548
Do
00:34:40.577 --> 00:34:42.797
