[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Today I'm doing something crazy. I'm taking a lunch break. I know, I know, I have to calm down. I'm partnering with Zoom because they're encouraging people to actually take back their midday lunch break. And honestly, their AI companion makes it way easier to step away since it handles a lot of the more tedious parts of the workday so you can focus on what actually matters. Like it can literally draft your follow-ups for you based on what was said in your meetings and what action items came out of it, which is how I ended up here at the Zoom New York City activation. I got my lunch and they had ranch that was blue. I don't know why, but I literally couldn't get over this. I had my try, time to eat. I had a gorgeous veggie burger. It was really so delicious. This was the best part of the activation because this is literally me at my desk every day with my sad salad, working through lunch. The marketing for this whole campaign has really been so amazing. Like look at this. Every time you shake a salad on a call and Angel loses its wings, like that's literally me. Also, hi Kenan Thompson. So honestly, this was the best lunch break I've literally ever had.
