It's Wednesday, August 20th.

Welcome to Market.

It's not really Wednesday, August 20th.

You know, we're pre-taping this whole week,

but I'm Chris Hill with me in studio today, the managing director of Fool.

Austin Smith. Thanks for being here.

Thanks for having. It's been a while.

It has been a while. You're a busy guy, so I appreciate you taking the time here

and allowing me to essentially dragoon you into this.

Well see I'm not busy I just walk around enough so that people think I'm busy but apparently it's worked because I've fooled you for that's the sign fell.

That's the George Kestanzas. if you walk around you maybe have a clipboard in your hand you sort of have this vaguely annoyed look on your face people like wow that guy's working.

You know it I took inspiration from West Wing. I don't know if you ever.

Sure, yeah.

Everybody in that show, every scene, people were walking, right?

And they must have therefore been very busy and important.

I don't think they ever had any desks

in the entire West Wing.

That, I don't know if it was, I don't think it was on that show, but related to that show,

someone was writing about that and referred to that act where two people are essentially having a meeting where they are walking as a

PETA conference.

I like it.

It's like, PETA conference.
