[00:42:06] S2: So that was, like, totally unexpected. Like, before the interview, also a totally normal guy. Like before the interview, like Eliana was like, Hey, like, you know, he just wants to get to know you beforehand. Like, you know, like we chatted for like fifteen, twenty minutes about like who I am, like what I'm doing, like all that kind of stuff. Just so he's like, who the hell is this person? Right. I didn't really exist right in that capacity, but you know, sorcery had just started. So we had this, like, just kind of like catch up, like chat beforehand. And then we just started. And, I think Heliano might've mentioned before the interview, like, you know, he, you know, he obviously does like the dead hangs things. Like there was like one of those in the office and he has these quirks, like he's a big personality and he's very much himself, which is great. Right. And so he also just like has swords in his offices and like, you know, just as a guy, right? Yeah. They just like swords. And, and so like, he was like, at the end, like maybe I can find it and we can like do a photo. And I was like, okay. And so it's so funny because you can watch the video and, like, towards the end of the interview, you could see Eliana running behind us with the sword, like, trying to get us, like, and, like, be, like, be ready. Right? And so we're ending the interview and and I thought we were just going take a picture. And so their video crew was thankfully videotaping this because the video is out. Right. And, you know, he's wearing like a ski outfit. I'm wearing a dress. Like I'm, I'm ready to go for
00:43:40 · Paige Finn Doherty, Molly O'Shea, S1
[00:43:40] S0: like, you know, [00:43:41] S2: a public company CEO, like interview. Right. Like I'm, like I'm in a dress and heels and I'm trying to look professional and all that kind of stuff. And so he's in his like, you know, ski outfit. It's a little bit casual and, he has a sword and I thought we were gonna take a picture and then [00:43:56] S1: he starts like, he's just starts, you know, [00:44:01] S2: yeah. Using his skills and I'm just, you can [00:44:04] S1: see my eyes. I'm like, [00:44:07] S2: what's going on? And then the funny part is like, Eliana was like six feet in front of him. So when he's doing this, like Eliana was like, oh my God. Right. What is going on? And all of us were like, this is not, no one thought that was going to happen. Wow. And it became a meme. And so without that, like really, [00:44:29] S0: but yeah, you got like 4,300,000.
00:44:29 · Paige Finn Doherty, Molly O'Shea
[00:44:29] S0: but yeah, you got like 4,300,000. [00:44:31] S2: I think it's like that clip. Okay. So the interview itself shot out of, like it seriously went totally viral because of this. And it was the first time, like I had gotten viral hits for like million views, 2,000,000, like all that kind of stuff. But this was like escape velocity. This took over the internet for like two whole days, like maybe three, like crazy, almost a whole week. Let's round up. And so It was a whole week. It was a month. And so, so like the clip, like, or sorry, the, the actual interview got like four, 4,000,000, 4,500,000 views on X. It's like, it's pinned to my profile because it's the most determined thing of like, oh, it's that girl, right? Yeah. People always know me. Every interview I start, they're like, I have a sword. Should we? And I'm like, yeah, that's okay. But if you want, I think [00:45:31] S0: you're gonna inadvertently have a sword collection because people will give them to gifts.
00:45:31 · Paige Finn Doherty, Molly O'Shea
[00:45:31] S0: you're gonna inadvertently have a sword collection because people will give them to gifts. [00:45:35] S2: I have them as gifts. Zero at the moment. But, like, we'll see. It's good thing. And so anyways, like, that one clip, like, just took off, became a meme. I think that one has, like, 4.3, whatever, over 4,000,000 views, but that video and like that presence alone has easily 50,000,000 plus views. In that amount of time had completely gone all over the internet. Like we'd seen it in like, you know, things every, all over the place. Like someone uses it in like their trailer for whatever, just it's just like an iconic Silicon Yeah. Valley It's incredible. It's crazy. So, that was awesome. Wait, I love that. [00:46:21] S0: I'm trying to think about how to pose this question. Because it was funny. I was watching the clip of Jack Altman. I should have texted him before this, but to ask him about a question for you. But that was your first time discovering that Jack and Sam Altman were brothers. Was it was it? Oh my god. [00:46:42] S2: Was it a bit? [00:46:44] S0: Paige. Was it a bit? [00:46:53] S2: We will leave that one unanswered. It's a bit. [00:46:58] S0: So maybe, like,
00:46:58 · Paige Finn Doherty, Molly O'Shea
[00:46:58] S0: So maybe, like, [00:47:04] S2: okay. So for context, I interviewed Jack Altman and this was like another thing that ended up becoming a meme and went viral, but I interviewed Jack Altman and, you know, it was about his podcast uncapped, which is phenomenal. It has like incredible guests. Yeah. Like really like was one of the first, like major kind of like breaks on X for this category with that stuff too. And, so I, I wanted to interview him on it as well. And, and so that was like the basis of the interview and. Yo, this like ended up becoming a meme, but one of the guests that he interviewed, I asked him, so you recently interviewed Sam Altman. Were you nervous? And he goes, no. [00:47:56] S0: Why would I be nervous? [00:47:57] S2: Why would I be nervous? I'm like, I don't know. He goes, that's my that's my brother. Like, Altman, Sam Altman. I go, you're brothers? And, like, like... And he's like, yeah. And I was like, so you've known each other for a long time. And he's like, yes. Please keep this in. Keep this in. Like, this is great. Don't cut this out of the podcast. [00:48:21] S0: It was iconic. I I really... That... It was, like, one of my favorite moments. But the whole thing is, like, [00:48:28] S2: I have a I have I have a very large sense of humor. Yeah. Like, all the... Like, if I'm not working, like, I'm watching funny clips and laughing to myself. Yeah. Like, you can ask me. Wait, who are some [00:48:40] S0: of your favorite, like, do you have favorite comedians?
00:48:40 · Paige Finn Doherty, Molly O'Shea
[00:48:40] S0: of your favorite, like, do you have favorite comedians? [00:48:42] S2: I love Will Ferrell. Oh, okay. I love Will Ferrell. He's amazing. Is there gonna [00:48:48] S0: be a... He's on my list. He's on your list. So Will Ferrell, please. [00:48:52] S2: Will Ferrell. Would like to When it happens, we're [00:48:56] S0: gonna like roll the tape back and be like... [00:48:58] S2: I might have to do one with Jack Altman, can I guess? Yes, yes, yes. [00:49:03] S0: Well, gotta get the Between ferns, [00:49:05] S2: two ferns. Yeah. I mean, this is not a fern, but we got a hedge here. [00:49:07] S0: We got a hedge. And some grass. Yeah. I like that. You do have a great sense of humor. [00:49:13] S2: Yeah. So anyways, I have a dry sense of humor and like, this was even a problem when I worked different funds, right? It's like I would deliver things with a straight face. And so I've been working on the whole smiling thing. I've been getting better at it. Whole, my whole life, like why aren't you, you should smile more. You know, like the whole thing is like, girls should smile. I just wouldn't smile. I just wasn't a smiler. And so now I'm getting better at smiling and now I'm getting wrinkles from it, which sucks. But, so, so yeah, I delivered that with great poise and no one knows. It was still incredible. [00:49:48] S0: Still to this day. It's a mystery. We speaking of mystery, do you
