Very serious college student.

Very serious college student.

A little different than yours.

They let you do that?

So I thought you were going to say that the effect that the Princeton thesis had on Acquired, I didn't think it was as specific as that.

But I feel like when I'm listening to your episodes, I'm listening to someone who's worked up to a thesis.

It is thesis-like immersion in a subject.

So it's your show, and I don't want to take it over.

But I wanted to start by saying that I didn't discover it until this year, in July.

I was at Google Camp, which is kind of a good way to discover Acquired.

We should talk about where we are now, too.

And we are sitting in the Google garage.

Yes.

I mean, I don't know exactly.

I'm not sure exactly what happened in the Google garage.

So I'm at this camp with a lot of kind of well-known people.

And a prominent CEO says to me, have you listened to Acquired?

And I didn't know what he was talking about.

And I went and listened.

I can't remember what I listened to first.
