Tim recounts an awkward engagement with a big Austin tech figure, meeting through a mutual friend, a sparse hummus-and-strawberry lunch, and being invited to play pickleball, a hybrid of tennis and ping pong.
- Tim and the show just returned from meeting a tech billionaire in Austin through a mutual guide.
- The billionaire didn't seem to know who Tim was or what he did when they arrived.
- The promised lunch turned out to be just hummus and a strawberry, typical of what successful tech people eat.
- Tim and Ben were supposed to play together but were told as beginners they should play with the other people instead.
- Ben turned out to be terrible at pickleball and kept illegally entering the kitchen area during play.
- Tim and Ben showed up in jeans because they didn't know it was raining and didn't realize what they were walking into.
