| 0:00.0 | And so it's about taking things that hook people in and then giving them experiences that are really fun to play with. |
| 0:05.9 | We brought those learnings over to MBA Topshop because the next move was how do we broaden this out to and increase the ability for people to share their fandom in different ways? |
| 0:16.5 | And sports are just such a fantastic vessel for technology. |
| 0:19.9 | So we took the learnings from |
| 0:21.3 | Cryptokitties and applied them and decided that we wanted to do this with the MBA, which |

| 0:30.1 | Ethereum. Avery, happy Gen C day. We're in the 70s. Don't know the number. But as always, so good to see you. What's happening in your world? |
| 0:53.7 | It is a gorgeous day in Miami, Florida. I'm home today. We just wrapped up the possible conference, which was actually amazing. It's in my home. It's in my backyard.

| 2:02.7 | trailer is fake. And it's a combination of AI and old footage from other movies. And, you know, |
| 2:08.4 | it just reminded me of the conversation we had a couple weeks ago about will there be a feature |
