1. “We were talking about the idea, and one of the questions I had initially when you were going to do this, I was first surprised, one, not completely, because you're very interested in quality and beauty of the way things look.

You got a range of opinions about it. I think it's pretty good. Talk a little bit about what Quibby is so people who haven't used it. You've been interviewed by lots of people, including Peter Kafka from our other show. So talk a little bit about what it is for those who don't know. Sure. So maybe is actually to sort of talk about Genesis, right? Always good. Like what was the sort of catalyst of how we arrived here? So like so many people, literally billions, for the last...”
