I scraped every podcast, found all his mentions of these meals, and charted them.

Dinner with David Senra
Source: https://www.senradinners.com/ I’m a voracious listener to the Founders podcast, but am irked by David Senra’s habit of always telling you how long his dinners are. A two hour dinner with Sam Zell, a four hour one with Charlie Munger, a 5 hour one with Michael Dell.
I scraped every episode of the Founders podcast since it became free in 2017, found all mentions of his meals with business people, and made some pretty charts. Enjoy!
David’s Social Calendar Is Accelerating
Cumulative count of distinct new meals first mentioned over time
Every Meal on the Timeline
Each bubble is a unique meal. Size = mentions. Y = duration.
The Two Meals He Can’t Stop Talking About
I would do the same thing, but man does he love mentioning his lunches with Charlie and Sam
You Should Clear Your Calendar for Dinner with David Senra
Median 3 hours, mean 3.5 hours. European vibes for sure.
