I'm a voracious listener to the Founders podcast, but am irked by David Senra's habit of always telling you how long his dinners are. A two hour dinner with Sam Zell, a four hour one with Charlie Munger, a 5 hour one with Michael Dell.
I scraped every episode of the Founders podcast since it became free in 2017, found all mentions of his meals with business people, and made some pretty charts. Enjoy!
Cumulative count of distinct new meals first mentioned over time
Each bubble is a unique meal. Size = mentions. Y = duration.
I would do the same thing, but man does he love mentioning his lunches with Charlie and Sam
Median 3 hours, mean 3.5 hours. European vibes for sure.
