| 0:00.0 | Friday afternoon, I found out about the death of Lamar Wilson. Lamar was a good friend to me. In fact, good friend to all of us at DT&S. I wish that I had been a better friend to him. I'm going to miss him a lot. My wife and I used to go hang out with him quite often. We even almost got him to be a fan of K-pop. He was smart, funny, generous, argumentative, and I loved all of that about him. |
| 0:22.7 | If you didn't get to know Lamar, there's a whole internet's worth of content for you to enjoy. |
| 0:28.4 | In our corner of the internet, he appeared on DTNS many times, including being the first person to report from CES for us on January 6th, 2014. |
| 0:40.4 | There were quadcopters and the first LGTV with WebOS that he was telling us about. And he was my first repeat guest on the podcast |
| 0:46.2 | Award with Tom Merritt. That second appearance was extra special. He talked about his career, |
| 0:53.1 | how he came up, how he got interested in technology. |
| 0:57.2 | He really loved being a mentor and teaching. So I'd like you to listen because I think he could |

| 1:24.0 | This is the show where I get to sit down with some of the smartest, most interesting people of the world and talk about how we think, compare our shortcuts for |
| 1:28.1 | getting through life. We all know different things about different things, and it's good when we |
| 1:32.3 | share that with each other. These are the kinds of conversations I've been having all my life |
| 1:36.9 | with my grandpa Carl in his front room, my grandma Roxy and her front room. I got lots of different |
| 1:41.6 | ways of looking at the world from them and great conversations. And it was all leading me to this moment right now. Welcome back to the front |
| 1:50.0 | room. Lamar Wilson. It is great to be here. I'm back. Almost a year, right? It has been |
| 1:56.4 | almost a year to win. I was just wondering about like exactly how long. But yeah, you are our first |
| 2:02.0 | return visitor more than a year. It was, uh, it was May 22. Was it? Okay. Wow. Well, it was May |
| 2:10.8 | when we, when we recorded. And then I think it was released in July. So even the release date was more, |
| 2:16.0 | it's, it's been too long, is what I'm saying. |
