**Justin Garrison:** We were in a shared Slack channel, a channel that I started at Amazon.
**Autumn Nash:** Take a screenshot. We have to get a picture.
**Justin Garrison:** That's your address on it. You don't want that out there.
**Autumn Nash:** Justin's smart. Don't listen to me.
**Justin Garrison:** I didn't post in \[unintelligible 00:46:29.27\] So Autumn started at Microsoft, she's a she's a PM for Linux security, and I wanted to send her an end of Ship It gift and an early Christmas gift. And so she's opening this present right now. You're gonna have to describe what's in the box.
**Autumn Nash:** Well, first, let's describe the box. The box looks like a serial killer sent me a package...
**Justin Garrison:** It's just an Amazon box.
**Autumn Nash:** Retaped. It's got like big writing that says "Do not open until I tell you." I was like "Whoa, whoa."
**Justin Garrison:** Yeah, I wanted to make sure that we could do this live on the air. So this is a fun going away present.
**Autumn Nash:** Also, Justin comes with multiple gifts. One is his wife, because she's the coolest. Two, he just sends you random stuff in the mail, and he is like a thoughtful gift giver. Also, he puts up with me. Also, he's a really great uncle, who does stitch-like voices for your kids, and... Like, don't introduce...
**Justin Garrison:** It's okay, because my kids don't think I'm cool, so it's fine.
**Autumn Nash:** My kids think you are the coolest thing ever, and it's like, I'm just really bitter about it. Like, they go to California to visit their dad, and they try to hang out with you. And I'm like "He is my friend!"
**Justin Garrison:** Well, they're coming to Scale, so we're going to have a good time.
**Autumn Nash:** They're so excited about it... But just to see you. Oh, this is so cool...!
**Justin Garrison:** Do you know that? Open that -- open that top one.
**Autumn Nash:** You are ridiculous! Why did you send me windows cement? This is why I was excited, because I was like it's either going to be just like straight ridiculousness, or like something that's going to freak me out... Because he was like "I won't tell you what's in the box." And I was like "Oh, no." Who is th...
**Justin Garrison:** Yes, that's Bill Gates.
**Autumn Nash:** Bill Gates was this young at some point.
**Justin Garrison:** Some people are going to be familiar with this...
**Autumn Nash:** I love this.
**Justin Garrison:** Bill Gates did a shoot for Teen Magazine back in the '80s. I think it was '83. And it's a very --
**Autumn Nash:** Should I be scared what this puzzle is? What is it? A Windows puzzle?
**Justin Garrison:** Yeah, okay, so wait --
**Autumn Nash:** I cannot --
**Justin Garrison:** So even though Bill Gates isn't in charge of Microsoft anymore, the photoshoot is so iconic that I framed a picture and we sent it to Autumn so she could put Bill Gates somewhere...
**Autumn Nash:** What is this?
**Justin Garrison:** The rest of it is unhinged Windows 7 stuff. Windows 7 -- when did Windows 7 launch? Windows --
**Autumn Nash:** How did you find this stuff? Like, I just --
**Justin Garrison:** Windows 7 launched July of 2009. Back in 2009, they were looking for influencers that they could have Windows 7 launch parties for. And so I was one of the inf--
**Autumn Nash:** So you mean that we've been in the influencer realm since before Instagram and TikTok?
**Justin Garrison:** Yes. Yeah, I don't remember -- I had a blog...
**Autumn Nash:** Oh, were you like a cute little Instagram like influencer, but before Instagram?
**Justin Garrison:** Yeah, before social media. I was an uber nerd.
**Autumn Nash:** You were like -- you were famous out here and you didn't even tell me...
**Justin Garrison:** So in that box, there are -- so Windows 7 came with like these crazy, unhinged wallpapers that they had different artists design, and then they they took those pictures and they made different things. So one of the puzzles is that there's a poster there that shows all the backgrounds. There's playi...
**Autumn Nash:** This is the most perfect, nerdy thing I have ever received in my entire life. Like, this is the most vintage... I just want you to know that I'm keeping this photo of Bill Gates looking like he is like a teen, like model, forever. Who does this? This is like the \[unintelligible 00:50:08.17\] album wit...
**Justin Garrison:** \[50:11\] There's also a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate signed by Steve Ballmer in there. So that was like the signature edition. Yeah, there you go. It's a signature edition of Windows 7 Ultimate.
**Autumn Nash:** In the wrapper, though. In the wrapper.
**Justin Garrison:** And so -- I think I used it at one point...
**Autumn Nash:** Does that mean you just didn't --
**Justin Garrison:** No, I installed it at one point. The key is used...
**Autumn Nash:** I was like "Did you just like keep it all and you're like "I'm not using your stuff. I'm just an influencer now."
**Justin Garrison:** I kept all of that swag from the launch party. I forget what else they had. I gave some of the things -- I actually had like... They sent you the swag, and then they just said "Go host it for your friends." And I'm like "This is the weirdest thing that I'm going to invite some people over."
**Autumn Nash:** You were like a legit little teeny baller influencer over here.
**Justin Garrison:** So I think I had two coworkers come...
**Autumn Nash:** Look, Justin was like the epitome of like one of those, like... He was like a Sheen model before there were Sheen models, but for nerds. Look at this. Posters.
**Justin Garrison:** Yeah, it's like a poster of posters. It's the weirdest thing, but it's...
**Autumn Nash:** I'm going to take so many ridiculous photos in front of this poster... Like, y'all are not ready. Like, we're about to have the most unhinged Blue Sky posts. It's going to be great.
**Justin Garrison:** Yeah, so I didn't even realize that this was 15 years ago when Windows 7 came out. I've had that stuff, and I'm just like "Oh, you're starting at Microsoft."
**Autumn Nash:** I don't even have to make like old people jokes about you anymore... Like, you should be making them about yourself. It's great.
