Transcript context

…Ben, Jenny and I are so, so, so happy for you guys. Parenting, as you know now, is the most joyous, difficult, wonderful, biggest thing you will ever do in your life. There is no way to understand or describe it until you become one, so welcome to the club. Thank you. I think that's right. I think any words that I would say about what it's been like so far are words that other people tried to use to describe it to me, and I found them largely meaningless. I could say the same things that everyone else always says, and there have been some amazing things written. I think I read the Paul Graham article on kids. I read The Fourth Trimester and Wait But Why piece. You read the Michael Lewis book, right?…
