>> Hey.
>> Hey, man.
>> Hey.
>> Hey. So I was just scoping out the vibe of the room, trying to figure
out who to talk to. I noticed you guys were standing with a little gap
in between each participant of the conversation. So I thought you’d be more
welcoming to a newcomer. [LAUGH] >> Of course. I’m Dave.
>> But, I promise that I will be slow and
make a meaningful connection with both of you.
>> And I am not just looking for a new client or an investor.
>> You know, we’re just saying- >> So
>> I have like a list of topics that I’m willing to talk about.
>> One of them is the latest sporting event [LAUGH].
>> Or the stocks, the stocks that may go up, but

like a restaurant tip or my opinion on a political event.
>> But it won’t be too edgy of an opinion.
>> I understand that I’ve been talking a lot.
>> But I promise, I will take time to listen to you guys.
