How are you guys doing?
I'm talking chairs.
This is cutting-edge technology.
This is what I want.
There's no... No neck support.
You could be sitting on a stool.
No, no, no.
Yeah.
No, you've got to keep the neck strong.
I'll say this.
I remember...
I was in London when I was 18 years old and my best friend and I went there to graduate from high school and we went to like all the museums and we were looking at like all this like old British shit.
And I remember seeing this chair that claimed to have been made in like, I got it.
It was like 500 AD BC.
And I remember thinking in that moment,
it's kind of crazy that chairs have always looked like chairs.
Is that a stupid conclusion?
Chairs have always looked exactly like chairs.
We haven't really changed the general contour of the chair.
There's something about just the shape of the body that's like, okay, well, chairs just have to look.
