99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Exhale)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My name is Simone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You know how people tell you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you get nervous when on stage,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
picture people in the audience naked.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like it's this thing that's supposed
to make you feel better.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I was thinking --

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
picturing all of you naked in 2018
feels kind of weird and wrong.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like we're working really hard
on moving past stuff like that,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so we need a new method of dealing with
if you get nervous on stage.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I realized that what I'd really like

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that I can look at you as much
as you're looking at me --

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just to even things out a little bit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So if I had way more eyeballs,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
then we'd all be really
comfortable, right?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So in preparation for this talk,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I made myself a shirt.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's googly eyes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It took be 14 hours

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and 227 googly eyes to make this shirt,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and being able to look at you
as much as you're looking at me

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is actually only half
of the reason I made this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The other half is being able to do this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Shirt shakes)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I do a lot of things like this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I see a problem and I invent
some sort of solution to it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For example,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
brushing your teeth.
