If we find him, we will track him down just a second. But we're gonna take you on a little tour of our new joint. As you know, we've been operating out of Seattle for the last 2.5 years and change, I guess. And for the last by year, we've been scheming to come down here. We moved into this building here in 444 de Haro, and we built this particular joint from the ground up. It was literally concrete and ceiling and nothing in here. And we made everything that you're about to see. We've got to production sound stages. Ah, whole whole host of cool stuff. And I'm gonna take you on a crib style thing right now. Come with me.

Ah, heat map right now of you can see that it's a global. We've been broadcasting average daily about 130 countries. I think you can see everything from New Zealand, Australia, Asia, all throughout Europe. Really excited. That just contributes to our mental picture that we're really trying to change the world here. This is live in one of the studios right now. But come with me. Let's go. You're moving too slowly. This is the hallway. Not much happens in the hallway. I'm not supposed to peak in here, but I'm gonna This is the control Booth. Don't actually look in here. Just a little sneak. There's all kinds of stuff in there. That's a lot of people that control the broadcasts. It and I don't like to disrupt. And that's why I was whispering. This is one of, sir right now we're got our behind the scenes is what we're calling studio D studio. David, this is Ah, a Yeah, it's our behind the scenes for the whole show. Um, right now, in this room over here, which we're not going to go into me. We'll take a peek that might create some crazy feedback. But that's the main stage for the whole Silicon Valley road show That's going on right now. In here. Come on. Don't be afraid. Another control room. It's the nice temperature in here. Probably don't want to go too deep in there. But those of the happy people that are working intently that I'm distracting. Nice job navigating the core to keep on coming. One of my favorite places to take a nap in this whole place is right up. There you go. When you get in, there is a window on observation window platform. It looks down into our studio. Charlie, over here. That's what we call this one. Everybody check it out. This is that We're gonna live. Tour. How's your head? You just ran to the stairs. Oh, I'm so sorry. Whitney.

This is behind scenes. Little tour here. You might recognize these cats. Come on. This is where you might hang a code or two or put a stop. Put your stuff down. One of my favorite rooms here we are in the kitchen. The eating area. This is where if you're a student, you come in. You know, Creativelive is very physical. It's got a physical classroom with 2030 people come in and then we broadcast to a global audience. Every he comes in here and meets and greets the morning and then to decide where they're going to go. Which studio they're going to get assigned to for the day. We have really good food. That's one thing we do is take great care of our folks. If you can come wiggle your way over here. This way we can see the whole room keep on trucking. So again, it's all those monitors over there giving you live feeds of what we're doing all over the world. Um, got a great view, all showing a little bit if you can hang on. Could we do have a treat at the end of this tour? Um, but again, this is where folks, if this gets really, really busy during breakfast and lunch, um and then we've got a little couple of breakout rooms over there. That is my mom and my aunt.
