It can be Home Run Derby on the sports side.
Bella BajariaGUEST
5:08
But it also can be Alex Honnold, Taipei 101, when he climbed to the building.
Bella BajariaGUEST
5:14
It can be when we did BTS, right? We did BTS concert in Seoul right when they came back finally kind of from the military.
Bella BajariaGUEST
5:21
So the thing about an event is it's, Buzzy, cultural zeitgeist, kind of that really sort of unmissable moment, right? There's something in that that just feels like there is very sort of appointment TV, but with also like great conversation around it.

Bella BajariaGUEST

We invest in all of those countries.
Bella BajariaGUEST
23:02
So It's not as fixed as, OK, if we just do more of this.
Bella BajariaGUEST
23:06
It's like, what becomes available? What is the next great idea that a producer comes in? Who knew Alex Honnold walked in the door and said, my dream is to climb Taipei 101 live? Couldn't have dreamed that up.
Bella BajariaGUEST
23:18
I wish I could have dreamed that up, right? And it was so compelling, television, and so inspiring.
Robert SchlaegerGUEST

Okay.

Monique RhodesHOST
1:57
I want to tell you about a building, all right? This might seem left to feel, but hear me out.
Monique RhodesHOST
2:03
So Taipei 101 was the tallest building in the world for six years.
Monique RhodesHOST
2:08
So it's half a kilometer of glass and steel put up 200 meters from a major fault line in a city that gets hit by typhoons.
Monique RhodesHOST
2:19
And the taller you go in this building, the more the top of the building moves.

The thing about an event is it's- Buzzy, cultural zeitgeists, kind of that really sort of unmissable moment, right? There's something in that that just feels like there is very sort of appointment TV, but with also, like, great conversation around it.
Malcolm EthridgePANELIST

So clearly tonight's Melbourne game counts as that sort of buzzy zeitgeist moment, at least in the minds of Netflix.
Akshat RathiHOST
1:10
The documentary is a few years old now, but its star is still very much active.
Akshat RathiHOST
1:16
He made headlines again for climbing the Taipei 101 building in Taiwan live on Netflix, again without ropes.
Akshat RathiHOST
1:25
He's also turned his mind and money to bigger questions.
Akshat RathiHOST
1:29
In 2012, he set up the Honnold Foundation, devoting a third of his salary to help provide clean electricity to communities around the world.
Wes SchaefferHOST
12:58
I
Danny BobrowGUEST

think it was in Taipei, Taipei Tower.
Danny BobrowGUEST
13:00
Well, that's like a workout for him,
Wes SchaefferHOST
13:03
you know, and he built it up,
Jodi WellmanGUEST
11:15
[laughs]
Adam CuoHOST
11:15
Yeah, I watched that Taipei 101 climb live with my kids, and it was like, what? And then you realize he's done it, like, a thousand times.
Jodi WellmanGUEST
11:22
Yeah.
Adam CuoHOST
11:22
Yeah.

Stopped, dropped the bags.
T.C. BrownGUEST
8:46
And then I went up to Taipei 101.
T.C. BrownGUEST
8:50
And holy moly, I mean, when I got up there and looked out, it looked like the city went almost to the mountains.
T.C. BrownGUEST
8:59
And you know how far away the mountains are.
AnandHOST
1:51
So I tested it.
AnandHOST
1:53
I used a small folder, nine images, city skylines, a night shot of Taipei 101, a metro train in daylight.
AnandHOST
2:02
I asked Copilot to analyze them and write the metadata.
AnandHOST
2:05
One reasoning step later, the panel said, update items.
AnandHOST
2:47
This is the part that trips people, so don't let it rattle you.
AnandHOST
2:50
Library Chat can see the pictures.
AnandHOST
2:51
It will happily describe Jakarta at noon and Taipei 101 after dark.
AnandHOST
2:56
It does not, by itself, put those words into columns.
