"Hey, sorry Kevin. Come on, hop in the car."
What he's holding is a flat, not a dozen.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, followed by Life of Brian.
Dreamforce has always paid San Francisco a ton of money to block off entire streets around Moscone Center. There was no way the city would allow a speck of dirt or homeless people within walking distance of the area. You drift out of the zone, though, and reality comes crashing down.
Having been in a few of those server rooms in olden times, the ones with elevated flooring and false ceilings, they were:

Was in a 'modern' hotel recently. Hardwood floors, fresh paint, and warm embedded light fixtures.

It's reposted on HBO Max on Sundays without commercials.
I've caught the first two episodes. Mimics some of the British version's games: caption competition, fill in the blanks, etc. It has more of the early Angus Deayton vibe (single host for each show).

So far, has had some funny bits and very timely for an election year. Worth watching, IMO, as long as you don't compare it to the current version of the British original.
Good headwind. Airplane with decent STOL. No obstacles. Balanced weight.
Brakes. Flaps full. Max throttle. Rudder center. Wait. Release brakes. V1. Vr. V2. Vy.
Bye.
Don't believe in 'retirement.' Already have plans to transition into full-time writing.
