Cars Are Just Software Now

Michael Calore: Well, now you don’t have to go to anymore baseball.

Lauren Goode: I remember this now that you were a Seattle fan. Of course.

Aarian Marshall: Yeah. I’ve become a Seattle fan now that I live in this closet in Seattle. But I have a good recommendation, which is appointment television, which is something I stopped doing during the pandemic, obviously, because we weren’t seeing people. But I have a group of friends who we get together every week to watch the new Lord of the Ring show, which I don’t think is very good. But it was really fun to watch it together and we should all do that more. We should just get together and watch TV.

Michael Calore: Do you use watch party?

Aarian Marshall: No, We would physically gather in the same room.

Lauren Goode: No. She’s talking about being IRL, like a cuddle puddle but for movies.

Aarian Marshall: Yeah. We made breakfast burritos, we had mimosas.

Michael Calore: Wow.

Aarian Marshall: Yeah.

Michael Calore: That’s so 2019 of you.

Lauren Goode: That’s amazing.

Aarian Marshall: I know.

Michael Calore: Actually, I would say it’s like 2008 of you. We used to do Sunday night HBO television at our house, and we would make a big Italian meal and watch The Sopranos. It was very on brand.

Aarian Marshall: Yeah, that’s so lovely. Let’s all do that more.

Michael Calore: More of that.

Lauren Goode: Yeah. But because it was at a Sunday Italian family dinner, did you eat at like 03:00?

Michael Calore: No, but being on the West Coast, you’d have to wait till the show came on, but we would have access to the East Coast feed so we could watch it three hours earlier and not have to wait until 9:00 PM or whenever it came on.

Lauren Goode: Some pretty great sopranos hacking right there.

Michael Calore: Yeah, totally. Back in the days of basic cable.

Lauren Goode: Ariana, I very much respect this recommendation.

Aarian Marshall: Thank you.

Lauren Goode: We’ll have to have one of these parties next time you’re in the Bay.

Aarian Marshall: Please. Yes.

Michael Calore: Maybe watch a baseball game.

Aarian Marshall: No.

Michael Calore: Sorry, my condolences. I’m an Ace fan. I totally get it.

Aarian Marshall: Yeah, that’s dark.

Michael Calore: It’s pain.

Lauren Goode: I’m not really a baseball fan, but I was on the East Coast last week when people were watching lots of baseball games.
