Oh, all right.

So we really dove into it.

It was, again, it was an hour-and-a-half drive to get there, so it was a long drive.

We were talking on the way over there.

I was very, very nervous.

He's very literal, so when you say something, that's what you mean and that's what you're gonna do.

When I say something, it's a thought.

Well, in a party situation, that number might grow.

Yeah, it's very admirable.

Anybody have anything else? All right.

[outro music]

We need to make sure we say thank you to the ever lovely and talented Robin Applegate for editing, engineering, and producing our podcast.

And we also wanted to make that little disclaimer one more time that these are our experiences and our memories, and everyone who lived it along with us will likely have a somewhat different recollection, and we welcome all that input.

And then we wanna say thank you to you, to people who ask about Todd, who pray for him, and who send him good vibes.

We really feel it, he feels it, and we're so very grateful.

[outro music]

You're missing out on stories like this.

So you guys, um, I was new, um, and I'm still gainfully employed there, thank God.

But, um, they had this tradition when it was your birthday, they would gather everyone in the conference room and you got to pick a treat, and the whole team came in and, you know, you spent like 15, 20 minutes having a little treat, a little break from the workday.

And I didn't know that this was about to happen.

It's my first, my first birthday there.

I'm two months into the job and they're like, "Okay, so, um, Jenny, you have to share a fun fact that maybe people don't know about you, and it's your birthday.

You get to share a fun fact about yourself that no one knows." You guys, I blanked so hard and I blurted and it was awful, and I told them I [censored] my pants at work one night.

What you think, Jen?

Um, I'm okay with him telling me everything.

Like, I, I get what you saying, you don't wanna know every single thing, but how you really, like...

How you pick and choose what he gonna tell you? So, it's like, if you want him to open up, you can't really pick and choose that.

But I mean, I do feel like that's good when a man opening up, 'cause most men don't open up.

They don't have that platform, that comfortableness, like, it, to, to say that.

That's what most men are missing, especially Black men.

How do y'all feel about this case, and how do you feel about athletes putting themselves in that situation, ladies? Then we'll go to Gillie and Wallab.

Years later, with her twins alive and well, Jenny was happy to return the favor.

I would just read over her all the time scriptures, and we'd pray together.

We'd pray Andrew's prayer over her, li- listen in scriptures.

And then we would just share.

We'd just share testimonies and how God's been such a blessing in our lives.

And that's what we kind of focused on a lot.

It said the burden of proof rests on the alien to establish their eligibility to remain in the US legally.

They are trying to deport Zoila and leave that little girl, who already lost her father to tragedy, alone in this country.

[crowd cheering]

At a protest in the center of Baltimore, Zoila's plight's getting attention.

We've come down here because people in our community, our neighbors, are scared.

I've talked to my friends who are afraid that they're gonna get snatched up off the street, and there will be no one to care for their kids.

Say about two weeks before y'all, like, really hook up, what's a deal breaker for you? And you like him already, but what's a deal breaker where you like, "Nah, get the fuck out of here"?

There are a lot of deal breakers.

I have, I have standards.

Um, if you have kids and you don't, you're not in your kids' life, you're a deadbeat dad, you don't talk to them every day.

Like, deadbeat dads, that's a deal breaker.

Um, if you just doing corny stuff online, like posting all this, this money in a corny way.

Like, I don't know, corny behavior online is also a deal breaker for me.

Okay.

我觉得现在今年可能不，并不是一个技术的大年，但很多是一个落地整合的一个大年。啊，就是你说这个Make 3原来说，我觉得微软肯定有这个机会，对吧？它也，它有自己的平台。Meta、NVIDIA可能我觉得不太适合吧，因为NVIDIA太，太偏硬件。我觉得可能就是Google和Microsoft是最有机会的吧。

因为AI降低了大家创业的门槛，就是这个创业公司像雨后春笋一样冒出来，然后这种创业公司呢，非常快速地利用今天AI的能力，就像我们就Google Cloud这样的大厂提供的，不管是芯片呀，还是全栈的一个解决方案，还是model的能力，比如说我们，呃，去年合作的像Cloud AI，对吧？就类似于我们今天这种访谈的这样的一个场景，它只做这么一个unique的场景，但它做得非常好，它的prompt加上我们的model，就是你怎么去洞察在这个会议当中，啊，说话的这几方，它的一个角色呀，就谁是在真正掌控会议的方向，就这只是一个小的例子哈，它不需要去重新造整个轮子，来依赖于大模型，加上domain knowledge就可以快速地创新，而且它在很短的时间内就实现了上亿美元的一个营收。就这一类的startup在去年到今年非常多，然后还有AI，就是AI穿戴设备，对吧，AI耳机、AI眼镜，就每一家都有很好的想法。然后第二类就是我刚刚说的企业客户，就是互联网大厂啊，那走得快的企业真的是在开源，它不是只是节流，就是开源，那用AI打开新的市场，然后提供一些新的增值服务，就它的同行的伙伴做不到的一些，所以它能够很快地获得一个营收。这，这两类我们都是看得非常，走得非常快的。

还有一点，其实Jenny跟这个我们上一期的嘉宾丹尼说得很类似的地方，就是企业的AI没有办法落地，不是技术问题，而是C level的这个战略的决心。

AI真的是一个有在每一个企业要从上而下的一个驱动。我看到了很多就是走得比较靠前的企业，真的是它的C level在带头的，这个非常重要。那我也看到有一些企业相对保守，相对步子迈得慢一点，那真的是C level就是比较慢一点。所以我觉得这个C level的这个执行力和战略决策是非常重要的第一点。

So shout out to Jenny.

[clapping] Woo!

That's what we all thought, right, before the draft today started.

Woo!

It was like, it did have a clip that she clipped on.

So I was upstairs brushing my teeth, and because Lauren said that she eats everything, I have put all my moisturizers, everything in the drawer, so there's nothing-

[laughs]

So I, so our time.

It was 4:00 AM Lauren's time.

I was like, "Okay, I need to find an emergency vet." I called the vet and he goes, "Mm, okay, now is it used? Has it been opened?"

And while she hasn't given up, since she was diagnosed with cancer, she's informally passed the baton to Brenda and Jennifer, who she's dubbed Christy's Angels.

Christy's best friends took over for me, thank God.

[laughs]

... to relive.

Yes.

And so I knew I couldn't go back to the beginning and do it all, 'cause it takes a big toll on me, so they're my fighters now.

[laughs] I thought of them, I said, "I can't do it.

Who's better to do it than, than me as Christy's best friends?" She would be so proud of you guys.

And this is why President Trump-

Right, and we focused all of... a lot of our effort on that.

But here's the big news, okay? And I see that you just put that article up there.

So, uh, uh, basically there are four organizations.

It's the d- the Texas Majority Pac, uh, that's O'Rourke's Powered by People, and then the State House Democratic Campaign.

They have basically stated that they're going to launch a $30 million coordinated campaign as soon as the primary is done, and they're gonna focus on basically help- helping roughly 1,000 Democrats running for offices in Texas.

So there is a huge coordinated campaign right now on Texas, and they're putting in 30 million of outside money into Texas.

Who are the groups?

And Daryl would be talking shit about the $300,000?

He'd be talking, "Oh, my dad has this money." You know, I'm sure that's what these idiots were saying.

You know, "Oh, fucking w- you know, whatever, cash." I don't know who the fuck has that much cash sitting around.

Um, but that, so anyways, that was-- A- a- again, it wasn't even, it didn't even seem real.

Like, no one had ever even heard about this cash.

And we have, you know, we have-- He had many, many other mutual friends of this guy, Daryl.

I mean, it just goes on and on.

Of course.

Yeah.

Um, so, like, I definitely thought that was him.

There was another instance, and my son really didn't take pacifiers, um, except for when he was teething.

One night, he's ch- like, chomping on the pacifier, and he pulls it out, looks over my right shoulder, waves, and then says good night and rolls over in my arms and goes to sleep.

So he saw someone.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, for sure.

Um, there was one day I was getting him ready for preschool, and, um, where he was facing me, there's a corner of the, the living room, and there's pictures of my family.And he- I'm trying to get him dressed, and he's going, "No.

Please say more, Jenny.

That's right.

I'm Jenny.

I'm a sixth grader, and I'm not ashamed to say I'm giving folks the best deal on slime in the school at a mere $2 a jar.

It's cheap, it's sticky, and it's effective.

Quality slime for kids on the go.

So what if it's made by students at South Bay? My opponent's boutique glitter slime will cost you an arm and a leg.

We're trying to encourage the students of Smokey Brook to buy slime made here on campus.

We love you.

Love you guys, too.

It's felt so bad that I couldn't do it, but-

And then this is a lot to also have to relive.

Yeah.

Yes.

And so I knew I couldn't go back to the beginning and do it all, 'cause it takes a big toll on me.

So they're my fighters now.
