I have a good story for you about Zoom.

Give us a good Zoom story for a cold open.

Okay, you ready?

Yeah.

So here we are on Zoom and in the last eight weeks I'm not going to say I've become a

Zoom aficionado but I am going to share a cautionary Zoom tale. So we're about

two weeks into quarantine and I right now and where I am reporting from my house at the beach in New Jersey a little studio that is above my garage so a far cry from Rockefeller Center.

But a very fancy organization like a fancy one asked me to do a fireside chat on a Friday night. And so I said sure and you know like we

went over the topics or whatever and a fancy organization. So it's five o'clock and it's on Zoom. So imagine here's May and I

have to talk for an hour. There are dozens and dozens of little faces here.

Tica tica ticca ticca ticca ticcaa. Like some people have a glass of wine, people are all dressed up,

and they're listening like the world according to little old me.

And basically, the heart of what I was saying

was you have to find the silver linings and everything and one thing that

Corona does has forged all of us back to basics to reconnect right like think of

even a year ago you might not have been talking to your sister or your

mother or this one because of their political views or this or that. Like everyone was like walled off in their

corners. But all of a sudden right now when we are all in this situation you do care about your neighbor.

You're realizing how important the person at the grocery store is, blah, blah, blah.

So anyway, I'm talking about this. Halfway through the the zoom one of the attendees doesn't have

herself muted and said she turns the volume down so she can't hear me.

She's obviously not familiar with Zoom, right?
