"We're closing tonight!" Escola joked. "I just have to say thank you to these people behind me. When you have an idea, it's really embarrassing to care about something that doesn't exist yet. And it's really vulnerable. It's like you're trying to convince your doctor that you have a tumor, based on nothing except you just kind of feel like you probably have one." They went on to say, "You meet people who are not doctors, and they are convinced, yes, that is a tumor. And, in fact, we also think we have tumors. Let's all cut ourselves open right now and pull it out for the world to see."
