So, Casey, I get a lot of deranged and unintelligible texts from you.
You're welcome.
Thanks.
And even by those standards, the one that I got from you last night while I was sitting down for dinner was pretty wild.
So this was a text that contained a link to something called bonk.
And your text said the following, bonk me on bonk.
My handle is Casey Newton.
That's right.
So, Casey, why are you asking me to bonk you?
And do you know that I'm happily married?
I did hear that, although I was told there was an AI with different ideas.
But Bonk is the app that everyone in Silicon Valley is talking about.
And by everyone, I mean a few of my friends who showed it to me.
What is this app?
