Scot: [0:39] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott show listeners. Jason Simpson good ol episode 176 we have both been on the road so tonight we are going to mix it up a little bit and we're going to do we talked about some road trips at one of our favorite events every year is Mary Meeker Mega Jack of Internet Internet Trends drop so we have some thoughts on that. And then we put out a call for listener questions and the response was overwhelming so we're going to try to chip away at those in this episode and then save some for a future episode, I took it off you are fresh off the plane from code recode how was that show.
