This is the Arden Labs podcast, and our special guest today is J. Conrad.

Conrad. Are I saying it right? Conrod?

Conrod. I almost said it wrong. I was going to say rad because you're rad, dude. And then I went,

oh, no, no,

it's Conrod. Do people make that mistake at all? Or I'm just... People make that mistake all the time.

But when I first joined the Go team at Google, Rob Pike made fun of my name. He's like, oh,

this guy's name Conrad. He must be be an engineer because i guess it's like a mechanical

part i'm not really a mechanical guy but oh okay rob like me a fun of my name that's fun no that's cool

you got called out by rob there's nothing more than that and people might think well bill why don't you

just edit this out and start over because that's not what we do here we We're raw. We make mistakes and we got a cool

story out of it. You see, so if I had said stop and redo it, we wouldn't have gotten the cool

Rob Pike story. So now I'm super excited about that. I have been trying to get Jay on the show

I think all year. You don't realize this. I will record about, I know, as many shows as I can

in one week and then get them in, we just call, I call it getting them in the can, and then

Kevin, behind the scenes does all the editing.

And this is my last show for the week.

I saved Jay for my last conversation, and got him on. So thank you, Jay, for hanging out with us today.

Glad to be here. Good to close out the week. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm excited. After this, I don't care. It's going to be about 2.30 in the afternoon. I'm going for a drink after this, man. This is my celebration right here.

That sounds like a really good way to close out the week. Yeah. Yeah, that's where you got to do it in
