How are Jessica and Scott reshaping the Social Security Administration conversation?
And I'm Jessica Tarlow.
Jess, we are literally bigger than the NVIDIA conference. We're maybe even bigger than Taylor Swift. We have sold out in minutes the 900-seat auditorium. At the literally the Cathedral of Wokeism, the 92nd Street. We are sold out, Jessica Tarloff. I know. We are sold out.
I'm on the one hand, super excited about that. And on the other hand, upset because people can't get tickets anymore to come. And I'm getting a lot of... StubHub. Do you think the secondary market is going to be huge for us?
Well, I don't know, but I reserve 50 tickets and daddy needs new shoes. So we'll see. Daddy needs new shoes.
So you sold us out, basically.
Let's be honest. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. One of us is quirky and interesting. The other is smart and hot. I'm going with smart and hot sold us out. And I hope that doesn't trigger our feminist followers. But yeah, I've done a lot of these events. I've never had It sold out for this big an auditorium this quickly. And I think you're the variable here.
Anyways, we can't say who we have, but we have someone who's probably a likely contender for president and a huge power player. I didn't want to guess. Jess did. I thought we could carry the thing. I want more opportunities to talk about me. And he'll take some of the oxygen or she, he or she will take some of the oxygen out of the room because they're a player, a player. But you wanted a guest.
I wanted to have a broad discussion that made plenty of time for us, more for you than for me, because one of us needs more of that than the other. And I also wanted to cement our place in the Beltway relevancy, I guess. And I think it's super cool. And there will be tons of opportunities also for us to do this. I was talking with producer David that maybe we would...
do a little touring around the midterms or something like that. And we can go selling out theaters across the country. What do you think?
