0:00:05 – This is Weekly Podcast.
0:00:07 – Oh, welcome to “Dignation,” episode number 100.
0:00:08 I’m Kevin Rose. – And I’m Alex Albrecht.
0:00:10 – Hello, welcome to “Dignation,” episode number 250.
0:00:11 I’m Kevin Rose.
0:00:12 – And I’m Alex Albrecht.
0:00:15 – Come on, it’s the last fucking show.
0:00:19 – It’s been a while since we’ve done this.
0:00:20 – Yes.
0:00:22 – Let’s talk about my dead dog on this episode of “Dignation,”
0:00:23 ’cause what is there to talk about?
0:00:25 Health issues and death.
0:00:26 – Dude, when you landed that helicopter on my head,
0:00:29 I’ll give you $100 if you can land it on my head.
0:00:30 That was one of my favorite
0:00:31 “Dignation” moments of all time.
0:00:33 (upbeat music)
0:00:35 – Go back to all the “Dignation” live shows,
0:00:36 never wearing a T-shirt.
0:00:37 – Really? – Fuck no.
0:00:39 – I kinda wanna go to the Tyson and Jake Paul fight.
0:00:42 We could go there, say we could do live “Dignation” there.
0:00:43 – I mean, I–
0:00:44 – Why did you pick this as the last story?
0:00:46 – Well, I didn’t know it was gonna be the last story.
0:00:47 This was really fun.
0:00:47 – I thought it was fun.
0:00:48 I miss you, brother.
0:00:49 It was fun.
0:00:52 – So I’m absolutely addicted to rocking.
0:00:54 That’s where we put this weighted backpack on.
0:00:57 I’m doing four miles, probably five times a week.
0:01:00 I actually saw Rattlesnake eat a lizard the other day.
0:01:01 No joke, it was insane.
0:01:03 Anyway, at the end of these workouts,
0:01:06 as you can imagine, I’m just sweating an absolute a ton.
0:01:07 It’s great cardio,
0:01:10 but I need to replenish my electrolytes.
0:01:12 But sadly, most of those replacement powders out there,
0:01:15 they’re just packed with sugar that goes straight to your gut.
0:01:16 Spikes are glucose.
0:01:18 There’s nothing good about that.
0:01:20 And that’s the reason why I use elements.
0:01:23 There’s no sugar and it has the science-backed ratio
0:01:25 of 1,000 milligrams of sodium,
0:01:27 200 milligrams of potassium,
0:01:29 and 60 milligrams of magnesium.
0:01:32 Not only no sugar, no coloring, no artificial ingredients,
0:01:35 but there’s no gluten, no fillers, just no BS.
0:01:38 And I gotta say, a new product alert,
0:01:41 Element has just released Element Sparkling.
0:01:43 It’s the same zero sugar electrolyte formulation
0:01:44 that you know and trust,
0:01:47 but now in 16 ounce cans of sparkling water.
0:01:50 Right now, Element is offering a free sample pack
0:01:52 with any drink mix purchase
0:01:54 that’s eight single serving packets free
0:01:57 with any Element drink mix order.
0:01:59 This is a great way to try out all eight different flavors
0:02:00 and see which one you like.
0:02:02 The deal is only available through my link.
0:02:05 You must go to kevinrose.com/LMNT.
0:02:06 And lastly, and this is the best part,
0:02:07 it’s totally risk-free.
0:02:08 So if you don’t like it,
0:02:10 you can just share it with a salty friend.
0:02:11 They’ll give you your money back.
0:02:12 No questions asked.
0:02:14 You have nothing to lose.
0:02:17 Huge thanks to Element for sponsoring today’s show.
0:02:19 This episode is brought to you by Manscaped.
0:02:20 It’s that time of year.
0:02:22 It’s Father’s Day time.
0:02:25 It’s time to help Dad beat back that 70s overgrowth vibe
0:02:27 with products from Manscaped.
0:02:29 Manscaped, in my opinion,
0:02:31 has the best beard razor on the market.
0:02:33 It’s called the Beard Hedger.
0:02:35 It has 20 different length adjustments
0:02:37 with this little zoom wheel that I use.
0:02:40 And it always keeps my beard at just like the perfect length.
0:02:42 I don’t want to mention any other brands,
0:02:43 but I was a junkie in this arena.
0:02:46 I tried like 20 different beard trimmers.
0:02:48 And by far and away, this is the best.
0:02:50 It’s the easiest to clean.
0:02:51 It’s also waterproof.
0:02:52 I also travel a ton.
0:02:54 So the fact that it’s a USB-C,
0:02:56 it works with all my other chargers.
0:02:57 I don’t have to think about it.
0:02:59 And it has a really super compact case.
0:03:01 They also have a more sensitive product
0:03:03 called the Lawn Mower Razor.
0:03:04 It’s also fantastic,
0:03:07 but largely because you can trim those special areas
0:03:08 and it doesn’t cut you.
0:03:11 They have something called the Skin Safe Blade.
0:03:14 So give your dad the gift of a fresh spring cut,
0:03:17 a sense of lightness, just a sense of flow.
0:03:18 30 day money back guarantee.
0:03:19 So there’s nothing to lose here.

0:03:26 Happy Father’s Day.
0:03:28 – Okay, but let’s just get started.
0:03:30 How do we, should we start it off?
0:03:33 – Kevin, first off, that’s not enough wine.
0:03:35 – First of all, I’ve already had a glass and a half.
0:03:38 – I’ve had two glids by third glass.
0:03:38 – No, it’s not.
0:03:40 – Fucking hell, dude.
0:03:42 That’s a fucking thing.
0:03:43 – No, it’s called Uber.
0:03:45 – No, no, no.
0:03:48 It’s, you hire, it’s called DD.
0:03:52 You literally hire someone to Uber to your place
0:03:54 and then drive you and your car home
0:03:56 and then Uber to wherever they need to go.
0:03:57 That’s a fucking brilliant idea.
0:03:58 – They already have it.
0:03:59 – They have it.
0:04:00 – What is it?
0:04:01 – Take your pan and–
0:04:02 – For yourself, not your fucking fucking pan.
0:04:03 We can start it here.
0:04:04 – I don’t think he’s their new Prager.
0:04:05 – Yeah, yeah, yeah, literally.
0:04:07 That’s like, why did Prager show up?
0:04:08 We have one.
0:04:10 – I have something, a scooter.
0:04:10 – Yes!
0:04:12 – If it’s a scooter or it takes your car
0:04:14 and you get to hop on a scooter and look around.
0:04:16 – So that’s Hayden, everybody.
0:04:17 He’s been helping me out with a bunch of video stuff.
0:04:18 He’s our new Prager.
0:04:19 Even though we–
0:04:20 – Even though we have old Prager here.
0:04:21 – Yeah, Prager.
0:04:22 – Old Prager and young Prager.
0:04:24 But actually, they’re very similar.
0:04:24 – Yes, very similar.
0:04:25 – Very similar.
0:04:28 But no, I’m telling you, I’m gonna fucking start this.
0:04:29 – Now it’s here by the way too.
0:04:30 We should say out of mouth.
0:04:31 – I’m out.
0:04:31 – Flip the camera around.
0:04:32 There we go.
0:04:33 We got the old crew.
0:04:34 Glenn, rest in peace.
0:04:35 – Oh, rest in peace.
0:04:36 – He’s dead, he’s dead.
0:04:37 – I’m glad you’re just in rest in peace.
0:04:40 – Well, I meant just like, we wish you could be here
0:04:41 and we know you’re up in the Bay Area.
0:04:42 You’re working on shit.
0:04:47 But we will have Glenn at some point in the future.
0:04:52 – Dude, when you landed that helicopter on my head,
0:04:55 I’ll give you $100 if you can land it on my head.
0:04:57 If you can’t, you have to chug a beer.
0:04:58 – That was one of my favorite
0:04:59 Dignation moments of all time.
0:05:00 – That was really fun.
0:05:01 – Does anyone have any glasses?
0:05:02 – Not part of the bag.
0:05:03 – Not part of the bag.
0:05:04 – Dude, come on.
0:05:05 – All right.
0:05:06 – Safety, fucker.
0:05:06 You didn’t land it though.
0:05:07 We had a serious bet on that.
0:05:08 – Don’t move.
0:05:10 – You tried to land it on my helmet.
0:05:11 – Dude.
0:05:11 – Dude.
0:05:12 – You moved.
0:05:13 You moved.
0:05:14 – Kevin, we’ve had,
0:05:16 that’s one of the things we should do
0:05:18 is go back through all the bets that we’ve had.
0:05:19 – Yeah, we got a lot of bets.
0:05:21 – Oh, the Apple TV bet.
0:05:24 – I have won every single one.
0:05:26 Kevin bet me that I would have kids before him.
0:05:28 – That’s right.
0:05:30 – Kevin bet me that Apple was coming out with an Apple TV.
0:05:32 Like an actual television.
0:05:33 – I thought that was gonna be good.
0:05:34 – Yeah.
0:05:36 Kevin told me that Apple was gonna come out with a car,
0:05:37 bet me that Apple was gonna come out with a car.
0:05:38 – They were hard.
0:05:39 – It doesn’t matter.
0:05:39 It doesn’t matter.
0:05:40 Have you ever seen one?
0:05:41 – I’ve seen a prototype.
0:05:43 – Have you seen one on the streets
0:05:45 without any backstage pass?
0:05:46 – No.
0:05:47 – There you go.
0:05:48 And I’m sure there are others.
0:05:50 But I feel like I should be,
0:05:52 like the vector hat should be put on.
0:05:53 – Okay, I will say, I would agree with that.
0:05:55 Had you not switched to–
0:05:56 – This is not, this is a PC.
0:05:57 – Yeah.
0:05:58 – This is a PC.
0:06:00 – He asked for duct tape to come for that show.
0:06:03 – Just saying, why did you switch?
0:06:04 – I didn’t switch.
0:06:06 Well, I got this for free from work.
0:06:07 – Okay.
0:06:08 – But the job that I was working at at the time.
0:06:09 – No, you’re right.
0:06:11 Don’t say no to a free computer.
0:06:12 – Do you like it?
0:06:13 It’s kind of nice.
0:06:15 – I mean, look, well, we got to talk about this too,
0:06:16 because I will say–
0:06:18 – Software updates are nice.
0:06:21 – No, honestly, iPhone, best one of ever owned.
0:06:24 I’ve tried Android, I’ve tried Windows phone.
0:06:25 Remember that when I was–
0:06:26 – Nobody has that anymore.
0:06:28 – I know, but I was there for five seconds.
0:06:30 Always went back to iPhone,
0:06:31 which I’m interested to talk about
0:06:32 ’cause I saw this thing here.
0:06:32 – Let’s start with the intro
0:06:34 that we got to say welcome to Ignation.
0:06:35 – Oh yeah, and then they can cut to this.
0:06:37 – We just actually, we did a trademark search
0:06:38 before the show started.
0:06:42 Ignation is dead and canceled.
0:06:43 – Don’t say it like that.
0:06:45 Just say nobody owns a trademark.
0:06:47 Don’t say that we’ve died and we’re canceled.
0:06:48 – It literally says dead.
0:06:50 – I know it says it.
0:06:51 – It’s not along with the language.
0:06:52 – Just don’t tell anybody.
0:06:54 I don’t want to try any experimental features on AI.
0:06:57 – All right, so the trademark has expired.
0:06:58 dig.com is down right now.
0:07:00 I tried to buy them.
0:07:02 – Don’t say it like that.
0:07:04 – It’s a 503 Air.
0:07:05 – Is this in the small print there?
0:07:07 – By the way, 503, I don’t even know what a 503 is.
0:07:08 – 504.
0:07:09 – I don’t know.
0:07:10 It says dig still exists.
0:07:11 Question mark?
0:07:12 I don’t know.
0:07:15 Like why did they, anyway, dig owners.
0:07:17 If you want to sell dig, I’ll gladly take it back.
0:07:19 I’ll restore it back to dig version three
0:07:20 before we mess everything up.
0:07:22 And then we’ll take on Reddit and we’ll take them down.
0:07:23 Just kidding.
0:07:25 Alexis and I are actually good friends now.
0:07:26 – Yes.
0:07:27 – I talked to him a lot.
0:07:28 He’s a good dude.
0:07:29 He’s a really good dude.
0:07:31 – You still hate him.
0:07:32 – No, no, no, no.
0:07:34 I never, I never hated him because I wasn’t,
0:07:36 I wasn’t dig, you were dig.
0:07:39 But I was like, I was, it would be interesting to meet him
0:07:40 because I will say–
0:07:40 – He’s huge.
0:07:41 – He’s a big dude.
0:07:43 – Yeah, when you meet him in real life,
0:07:44 he’s a big dude.
0:07:46 He’s like, Jake Paul big.
0:07:48 – Jake Paul big, that’s what you’re gonna say?
0:07:49 – No, he’s–
0:07:50 – You were like of all the big people.
0:07:51 You went to Jake–
0:07:52 – Jake Paul’s big.
0:07:53 – Sure, but like that’s where you’re gonna go?
0:07:54 – Well, he’s big.
0:07:55 He’s a big dude.
0:07:57 – I know, but I’m just saying like,
0:07:59 of all the pop culture references you could pull.
0:08:01 – Okay, well, he’s bigger than us.
0:08:02 – That is true.
0:08:03 A lot of people are bigger than us.
0:08:04 – Yeah.
0:08:06 – Did you see Jake Paul, the two of us?
0:08:07 – Together?
0:08:08 – Yeah.
0:08:08 – We’d have a shot.
0:08:09 – We’d have a shot.
0:08:10 – Together.
0:08:11 – What would the strategy be though?
0:08:13 – I would throw you at him and then I would hope
0:08:15 that you got him at least on the ground
0:08:17 and I’d get a chair.
0:08:18 And then I’d sit and watch–
0:08:19 – It’s not WWF.
0:08:21 – Did you mean to chair like him over the head
0:08:22 with the chair?
0:08:23 – That’s what I was thinking.
0:08:24 – No, you were not.
0:08:24 – I was.
0:08:25 – You thought you would watch me die.
0:08:26 – That’s definitely–
0:08:27 – I was even sitting in a recliner.
0:08:28 – That was what I was thinking.
0:08:30 I mean, if I could get a recliner, we would have a chair.
0:08:33 Let’s start the episode. – Hello, friends and family, welcome.
0:08:35 – No, that’s never, you’ve never said that.
0:08:36 – Well, these are our friends.
0:08:37 – No, I know, but I’m just saying.
0:08:38 We should do the–
0:08:39 – How did I say it?
0:08:40 I don’t even remember the proper intro.
0:08:42 – Welcome to “Dignation,” episode, blah, blah, blah.
0:08:44 Kevin Durst, this is Alex Galbraith.
0:08:45 “Dignation” covers some of the top stories
0:08:47 on the social media website.
0:08:48 – But you had to do that part.
0:08:50 – D-I-W-G, I got calm.
0:08:53 – Okay, that’s how you say it.
0:08:56 – Hello, everybody and welcome to “Dignation,” episode X.
0:08:57 No, that’s like–
0:08:58 – We don’t know what number this is.
0:08:59 – No, I just saw that.
0:09:00 – What number do we want to say?
0:09:01 666?
0:09:03 – What was our last episode number?
0:09:06 Last, that’s the chat GPT.
0:09:08 – Oh, chat GPT is gonna go,
0:09:09 I don’t know what you’re talking about.
0:09:10 – We’re gonna edit this out.
0:09:15 What was the last episode number of “Dignation”?
0:09:18 – If this thing fucking knows it–

0:10:55 It’s a fantastic cabaret.
0:10:57 – If you don’t like wine, skip to the next segment.
0:10:58 – No, you don’t.
0:10:59 Well, it’s a special one.
0:11:00 – It is, it is.
0:11:02 – I broke it out for a special occasion.
0:11:03 – Thank you, sir.
0:11:04 – It’s a little expensive,
0:11:07 but I figured you are a good friend.
0:11:08 – It has been a long time
0:11:09 since we’ve been sitting in a couch like this.
0:11:12 – We have gray, a lot of gray and shit.
0:11:13 – You say we as if I have gray.
0:11:16 – You have gray hairs all over your face and shit.
0:11:17 – I don’t believe that.
0:11:18 – It’s all over there.
0:11:18 – Are we shooting this at 8K?
0:11:21 – You actually look like you have a good moisturizer.
0:11:22 – Yes, I do.
0:11:23 – You know what it is?
0:11:24 – What is it?
0:11:25 – I’ll tell you the secret.
0:11:26 – What is it?
0:11:28 – It’s a fine baby skin of Alex Albrecht.
0:11:29 It’s a CVS.
0:11:30 It’s called CeraVe.
0:11:31 – CeraVe?
0:11:32 – Yeah, CeraVe.
0:11:33 It’s super cheap.
0:11:34 You can get it in bulk.
0:11:35 – Pretty looks good too.
0:11:39 – By the way, I’ve started getting the one that has SPF.
0:11:40 – Oh yeah, you got to use the SPF.
0:11:41 That is the number one thing.
0:11:45 I had the one skin founders on and you got SPF huge.
0:11:48 – So here’s the funny thing about SPF and me.
0:11:49 I have blue eyes.
0:11:50 – Yes.
0:11:51 – So one of the things that is attributed
0:11:55 to macular degeneration is non-UV protection
0:11:57 in your eyes, on your eyes.
0:11:58 – Oh, interesting.
0:11:59 – I cannot be in the sun without sunglasses.
0:12:01 I physically can’t.
0:12:04 My eyes like squint, I’ll sneeze because I have blue eyes.
0:12:06 So a lot of people that don’t have blue eyes
0:12:08 that have brown eyes or dark eyes,
0:12:09 they’ll get macular degeneration
0:12:11 because they don’t wear sunglasses
0:12:13 as often as they need to outside.
0:12:15 And I’m the same way with the sun.
0:12:17 I burn like a fucking bacon in a pan.
0:12:19 Like the moment I step outside in the sun,
0:12:20 the sun’s like, “Fuck you, dude.”
0:12:22 I’m like, “Bro, we just talked about this.”
0:12:23 – Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:12:24 – Red.
0:12:25 – Yes.
0:12:27 – And I don’t tan unless I really have to like work at tan.
0:12:28 – You look tan though.
0:12:30 – I mean, I can tan.
0:12:30 – You’re tanter than I am.
0:12:31 You were on vacation recently.
0:12:33 – Yeah, I was in–
0:12:34 – I saw Toaster.
0:12:35 Toaster’s still alive.
0:12:36 – I know.
0:12:37 – Toaster’s 13.
0:12:38 – I know.
0:12:40 – Yeah, Monty Pass, which is like, it’s a huge bummer.
0:12:41 Monty was a fantastic dog.
0:12:42 Cheers to Monty.
0:12:43 – Thank you.
0:12:44 – Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
0:12:45 – Monty was a fantastic dog.
0:12:46 – 17 years.
0:12:49 – That was a dog that you found on the street.
0:12:52 – On Montana Avenue, down the street from my apartment.
0:12:54 – Yeah, Toaster is having a hard time.
0:12:56 He’s fallen a lot, you know?
0:12:57 He’s like legs are slipping out.
0:12:59 And he’s like slipping on stairs
0:13:00 and he hits his belly and stuff.
0:13:02 And it’s so tough.
0:13:02 – I know.
0:13:04 – ‘Cause you freaking love those things just like–
0:13:05 – I know.
0:13:06 – There you go.
0:13:07 – It was really hard.
0:13:09 Well, not to get too like down to like,
0:13:12 let’s talk about my dead dog on this episode of “Dignation.”
0:13:14 ‘Cause I mean, we’re older.
0:13:15 – Yeah.
0:13:15 – What is there to talk about?
0:13:17 Health issues and death.
0:13:18 – And taxes, that’s right.
0:13:19 – Although I feel like at the beginning,
0:13:20 we talked about death enough.
0:13:21 – Yeah, Prager looks good though.
0:13:22 – Prager looks good.
0:13:23 Hey, Prager’s here.
0:13:24 – Prager’s here.
0:13:25 So I surprised–
0:13:26 – By the way, huge surprise.
0:13:27 I walked in and I was like,
0:13:29 what the hell is Prager doing here?
0:13:31 – So this is a funny thing.
0:13:32 Prager is so cool because like,
0:13:34 I hit him up what, two days ago?
0:13:35 – Yeah.
0:13:35 – Randomly.
0:13:37 And he’s like, I’m hosting a dinner party, what’s up?
0:13:39 And I’m like, dude, can you fly out?
0:13:40 Can you just like make it out?
0:13:44 And Prager’s like, let me get back to you tomorrow.
0:13:46 And then he gets back, ’cause Prager has a little one now.
0:13:47 – I know.
0:13:48 How old is–
0:13:49 – So it’ll be two in September.
0:13:50 – Oh wow.
0:13:51 – Two in September.
0:13:52 Congrats, dude.
0:13:53 How’s it being dad?
0:13:54 – Fantastic.
0:13:56 I got a gift for Father’s Day.
0:13:57 You know, hasn’t started yet.
0:13:58 Father’s Day, that is called.
0:13:59 – All right, that’s Sunday.
0:14:01 – For girl dads.
0:14:01 – Girl dads.
0:14:04 – It’s written by advice from the fathers of girls.
0:14:05 – Well you bought yourself a gift.
0:14:06 – When did my mom send it to me?
0:14:08 (laughing)
0:14:11 – Yeah, I was out in the airport and I was like,
0:14:13 I should buy this for myself as a father.
0:14:16 – What’s your favorite thing about being a dad so far?
0:14:17 – Oh, he doesn’t like it.
0:14:18 – No.
0:14:19 (laughing)
0:14:20 – Does anybody like it?
0:14:21 I don’t know.
0:14:22 – She started to walk really late
0:14:24 and she’ll run up and just hug your leg like crazy.
0:14:26 – Oh my God, that’s the best.
0:14:27 – That’s pretty cool.
0:14:28 – That’s awesome.
0:14:29 The two is a good age.
0:14:30 Like three is the sweet spot,
0:14:32 like where they really come alive.
0:14:34 – And then you just wait till high school.
0:14:35 – And then wait till high school.
0:14:36 – Or college, probably college.
0:14:38 – All right, dude, we got a lot.
0:14:41 We caught up earlier, so we had that little preamble.
0:14:43 But we’ve got some stories to talk about today.
0:14:44 – I love stories.
0:14:46 – We found some great ones.
0:14:47 – WWDC was today.
0:14:51 So if people, they can kind of like know when this was.
0:14:54 A lot of new things were introduced.
0:14:57 iOS 18 finally supports RCS.
0:14:58 – So this is crazy to me
0:15:02 because how are you gonna know who your shitty friends are
0:15:04 if everybody has blue bubbles?
0:15:04 – I don’t think it’s gonna be blue bubbles.
0:15:06 I think you’re gonna keep them green.
0:15:07 – Oh, that’s nice.
0:15:08 – They will, of course they will.
0:15:09 – Sweet, sweet.
0:15:11 I’m actually sending you a text message.
0:15:14 – I mean, they’re doing this to like,
0:15:16 they want you to know that you’re not an iPhone user.
0:15:18 – I told as they should.
0:15:20 It’s their service.
0:15:22 – Yeah, but I just like,
0:15:25 I feel like Apple was lying to us for so long
0:15:25 because remember those–
0:15:26 – Wait, what about what?
0:15:27 – So you know those ads that came out,
0:15:29 they were like, we’re the safest phone,
0:15:30 like little like lock and all that stuff.
0:15:31 – Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:15:34 – But all, like half of your friends, not half,
0:15:36 maybe like 10% of your friends you text with.
0:15:38 – Yeah, I was like, come on, let’s be clear.
0:15:39 – That aren’t Android?
0:15:40 – Yeah, the one friend.
0:15:42 – It was all unencrypted.
0:15:43 – Yeah, but it was to that one friend
0:15:45 – But because they were doing that on purpose,
0:15:48 it was they didn’t implement RCS
0:15:50 because they just wanted to be assholes.
0:15:51 They’re dick and stuff.
0:15:54 – But also like most people’s drug dealers were on Android.
0:15:56 So it’s like of all those should have been encrypted,
0:15:57 you know what I mean?
0:15:58 – Yeah, that’s a good point.
0:16:01 – By the way, how crazy is it?
0:16:05 How crazy is it that it’s basically,
0:16:07 I mean, I know federally, I think it just became,
0:16:08 just happened.
0:16:09 – Weed?
0:16:10 – That like weed is legal.
0:16:12 Do you, like think about that.
0:16:15 – We couldn’t even talk about it in our early donations.
0:16:16 – I mean, not at all.
0:16:18 I never really was a weed guy.
0:16:20 – Did I ever get you to do an edible?
0:16:21 I think I took you in at one time.
0:16:22 – Yes, in Vegas, you gave me a lollipop
0:16:24 and it was interesting.
0:16:25 – We watched Cirque du Soleil.
0:16:26 – Yeah, yeah.
0:16:27 – Did you like that?
0:16:30 – Oh, and then remember, we were at my house
0:16:32 and I had an edible.
0:16:34 And then do you remember we went,
0:16:36 we like walked to the liquor store
0:16:37 because we needed snacks.
0:16:38 – Yeah.
0:16:42 – And I kept talking about how I had like snack pockets
0:16:43 or something.
0:16:43 – Yeah.
0:16:45 – I put candy in both of my pockets.
0:16:46 And I was like,
0:16:47 it’s like snack pockets.
0:16:48 – It was hard to talk you into doing that shit.
0:16:50 – She’s not my company even now, even now.
0:16:51 – No, I don’t like it now.
0:16:52 – Oh, really?
0:16:53 – Dude, I’m dead serious.
0:16:55 Like I do not like weed.
0:16:57 – They would have tried to sponsor the show now.
0:16:59 I was not that hardcore of a weed user.
0:17:00 – No.
0:17:01 – No.
0:17:02 – No.
0:17:02 – Was I a big weed user?
0:17:03 Thank you, I was not.
0:17:05 – Maybe it was just always special occasions
0:17:07 like when Alex was telling me.
0:17:08 – I just wanted to go have fun with you.
0:17:09 I wanted you to try the good pizza
0:17:11 and pizza tastes better when you have a little bit
0:17:12 of like stuff.
0:17:15 – It’s funny, I never, I never got that.
0:17:17 I mean, look, I’m an alcoholic.
0:17:18 Let’s be fair.
0:17:20 We did talk about, I took some time off.
0:17:23 So I’m not knocking anybody’s, you know,
0:17:26 anything that anybody wants to do.
0:17:28 But I just never got into the weed thing.
0:17:29 It just wasn’t my thing.
0:17:30 – I know it wasn’t.
0:17:31 And that’s fair.
0:17:33 – And I even smoked up a couple of times with you guys.
0:17:34 – Did you?
0:17:35 – Yeah, it was like once.
0:17:36 – With Glenn’s shirt?
0:17:38 – Nah, I don’t fuck, I don’t know when it was.
0:17:39 – Glenn had some weird shit.
0:17:40 – I mean, that’s, that’s yeah.
0:17:41 – Yeah, always the case.
0:17:43 – But I will say that weed for me,
0:17:45 I just don’t like it, man.
0:17:48 It just, it kind of like, I can’t sleep well.
0:17:50 I just like, I,
0:17:51 – Which is weird because most people will take an edible
0:17:53 to sleep better. – I know, I know.
0:17:55 And it just doesn’t, it, as I’ve gotten older,
0:17:56 it’s just not my thing.
0:17:59 Although I will say, like, there’s that kind of like,
0:18:01 twice a year moment when you’re gonna go see like
0:18:04 an epic movie, where I’m like, fucking, let’s go.
0:18:05 – Oh yeah.
0:18:07 – And then, cause it makes, the movie sometimes,
0:18:10 it can be really intense if you get on that shit.
0:18:11 Anyway.
0:18:12 (laughs)
0:18:14 – Anyway, back to the WWDC.
0:18:15 – It’s legal now.
0:18:20 Yeah, so RCS, so Android is finally secure.
0:18:23 What was crazy about watching this, I watched the keynote,
0:18:25 is they’ve copied every Android feature.
0:18:28 You can now put icons wherever you want it.
0:18:30 – Hey, but is that what Apple always does?
0:18:31 – Yeah. – Isn’t that what Apple
0:18:34 always does is they like, wait until somebody’s like,
0:18:36 iterated it enough that they’re like, I’ll do that.
0:18:40 – But I might switch to, to Android now.
0:18:41 – If I could eye roll more.
0:18:43 – Oh look at Toaster.
0:18:43 Come here bud.
0:18:44 – Come on Toasters.
0:18:47 – So Toasters, this is Toaster 13.
0:18:49 Everyone members, good old Toast, come here bud.
0:18:50 Oh, thank you buddy.
0:18:52 – Oh Toast, you are my favorite Instagram filter.
0:18:54 – So he, yeah, he was actually named
0:18:55 as our Instagram filter.
0:18:56 He, he can’t hear anymore.
0:18:58 So if you call his name, you can’t actually–
0:18:59 – So the whole thing where you were like,
0:19:02 Toast, come here, he’s like, whatever.
0:19:03 – But–
0:19:04 – How was the accidents in the house?
0:19:06 Cause that was a thing when Monty was–
0:19:07 – He hasn’t had any accidents.
0:19:09 He barked still at the door, which is great.
0:19:09 – That’s great.
0:19:10 He’s, he’s really good.
0:19:11 Oh, watch, he’ll try and jump.
0:19:12 Can you make it?
0:19:13 Come on bud.
0:19:14 – Yes!
0:19:15 – That’s a tough one for him actually.
0:19:16 – Hi buddy.
0:19:18 – All right, he’s such a good dude.
0:19:20 Dude, remember when he was eating our wires
0:19:21 when we first started recording podcasts?
0:19:22 – He’s about to do that right now.
0:19:24 – Yeah, he used to eat our podcast wires,
0:19:26 our mic wires.
0:19:28 He’s still doing pretty good for 13.
0:19:29 – He’s doing great dude.
0:19:31 – So I put him on a longevity compound.
0:19:32 – Now?
0:19:33 – No, no, like a few years ago.
0:19:34 A couple years ago.
0:19:35 – Oh good, okay good.
0:19:39 – Rapamycin, which I actually funded a dog study
0:19:42 in the University of Washington for longevity in dogs.
0:19:46 We donated a bunch of money to help figure it out.
0:19:49 But he can expand dogs’ lives by about 15%, 15, 20%.
0:19:50 So.
0:19:51 – What is that?
0:19:52 What do we think that is?
0:19:53 – In terms of.
0:19:54 – 15 to 17?
0:19:55 Yeah, buddy.
0:19:56 – See, look at that.
0:19:57 13, that’s amazing.
0:19:59 That’s what I’m talking about.
0:20:00 Look at him, he’s having a good old time.
0:20:01 – Dude.
0:20:02 – Still acts like a pop.
0:20:04 – Don’t eat those.
0:20:05 Fuckin’ don’t eat those.
0:20:06 – He’s such a good dude.
0:20:07 – Thank you.
0:20:08 Here, you can have this.
0:20:09 Gorilla tea. – I love toast.
0:20:12 Anyway, so, I might move to Android.
0:20:15 – Bro, how many times have you fucking switched to Android?
0:20:16 Switch back.
0:20:17 Switch to fucking things.
0:20:18 – At least 10.
0:20:19 – At least 10.
0:20:21 – Well, you’re on Apple now, so it’s like.
0:20:23 – I’ve always had an iPhone ever since it came out.
0:20:24 – No, I meant your laptop, but.
0:20:26 – But this isn’t PC.
0:20:27 – Yeah, yeah.
0:20:28 – It’s a PC, it’s a personal computer.
0:20:29 – It is a personal computer.
0:20:30 So, I mean, that’s true.
0:20:31 You’re always on an iPhone.
0:20:32 I just feel.
0:20:34 – I mean, I flip flopped periodically.
0:20:35 Like at one point I had like a Samsung thing.
0:20:36 – You can change.
0:20:37 – It just doesn’t feel right.
0:20:41 – You can change the color of the icons now on iOS.
0:20:43 – Bro, who gives a shit?
0:20:44 – Yeah.
0:20:46 – Who gives a shit?
0:20:50 You can change the colors of the icon.
0:20:51 – So, they added a couple of new features.
0:20:52 React to these.
0:20:53 – That doesn’t work.
0:20:54 – Did you watch the WDDC?
0:20:55 – No, I always had a lunch.
0:20:55 – Okay, I’m gonna ask you.
0:20:56 – I was like what?
0:20:58 – You react and you tell me.
0:20:58 – Okay, real time.
0:20:59 – They know how to.
0:21:00 – Real time.
0:21:02 – Hidden apps, so you can hide apps from people.
0:21:07 – I have nothing on my phone in the app form
0:21:08 that I would want to hide.
0:21:09 So porn?
0:21:11 – I mean, I think they’re thinking like.
0:21:11 – It’s porn.
0:21:12 – It’s porn.
0:21:13 – What else would there be?
0:21:15 – But there’s not porn apps.
0:21:16 – Yeah, Steve Jobs hated porn.
0:21:17 He made sure there was no porn apps.
0:21:19 Oh, he’s been gone, so.
0:21:22 – Yeah, I just don’t know what would people hide.
0:21:24 – I mean, maybe for like an office?
0:21:25 – Tender?
0:21:27 – Oh, interesting.
0:21:29 – The new Prager is fucking on it.
0:21:31 – So, wait a minute.
0:21:32 So, grinder.
0:21:35 – But that, ’cause if you were in a grinder.
0:21:35 – Here’s the thing.
0:21:38 Nothing good can come of this, right?
0:21:39 – If you’re in a grinder.
0:21:44 – Well, I mean, some good game basics can happen for you.
0:21:46 But also, that’s gonna happen.
0:21:47 First off.
0:21:49 Yeah.
0:21:52 I just don’t know what app you would have
0:21:54 that you were like, oh, I can hide this on my phone.
0:21:55 – It’s probably grinder.
0:21:57 – Yeah, but also from who, from your wife?
0:22:02 Like, it just feels like, was there a big outcry for this?
0:22:03 The grinder community was like,
0:22:05 can I just not have this next to my,
0:22:07 like Wells Fargo app?
0:22:08 – I mean–
0:22:09 – ‘Cause I just feel like I just see it.
0:22:10 I hear you, buddy.
0:22:11 – He has some lung problems.
0:22:12 He’s trying to confidence himself.
0:22:13 – We all do, we all do.
0:22:15 – So, yeah, I mean, I, listen.
0:22:16 I have nothing to hide.
0:22:19 – My reaction, that’s interesting.
0:22:20 – Hold on, hold on.
0:22:20 – What would I hide?
0:22:21 – Next feature.
0:22:22 – Okay.
0:22:24 Ooh, I just thought of something.
0:22:26 Fucking hide your bank shit from,
0:22:28 if you ever get your phone stolen.
0:22:31 – How are they gonna know your password?
0:22:33 – Bro, there’s so many steps.
0:22:36 But I’m just saying, if somebody cracked my phone,
0:22:39 my password is like, fucking, it’s not one-on-one.
0:22:41 That’s what I’m saying, you put it in your face
0:22:42 ’cause now they can just do that.
0:22:43 – Yeah, but what are they gonna,
0:22:45 what are you gonna wire someone money?
0:22:46 – No, no, no.
0:22:47 But if they get into your bank app–
0:22:48 – Oh, Bitcoin, Coinbase.
0:22:49 – Fucking Coinbase.
0:22:50 – Hi, Coinbase.
0:22:51 – MetaMask.
0:22:52 – Yeah, my fucking MetaMask.
0:22:53 That’s what I’m saying.
0:22:54 – Okay.
0:22:54 – I have an Exodus wallet.
0:22:55 Hide that shit.
0:22:58 – I love that you just omitted all the wall to you now.
0:23:03 – My security passwords are King, Kong, Balls.
0:23:05 I mean, that’s, there’s always been your secret face.
0:23:07 The next one is like, okay,
0:23:09 imagine you don’t have any cell service.
0:23:10 You’re off on a hike.
0:23:12 You’re in the woods.
0:23:13 – Okay, I try to avoid that.
0:23:16 – And you have no cell service.
0:23:18 Now it can connect to satellite.
0:23:18 – That was last year.
0:23:20 – No, no, no, no.
0:23:21 Last year you could connect to satellite.
0:23:22 If you wanted– – For the SOS.
0:23:23 – Yes, yes.
0:23:25 – Now you can text people.
0:23:27 Not over SOS, but it’ll just let you text people
0:23:29 over satellite.
0:23:30 – How much does it cost me?
0:23:31 – Free.
0:23:33 I mean, that’s actually nice.
0:23:34 – It’s kinda nice.
0:23:35 – Think about all the international flights
0:23:37 where they’re like, no, we can’t do anything.
0:23:38 – Right.
0:23:39 – And now all of a sudden you’re like, I can.
0:23:42 – Why don’t the satellite can go through the actual plane?
0:23:44 – It’s a fucking satellite.
0:23:46 It goes, like XM radio is in my fucking car.
0:23:47 I guess there’s an antenna.
0:23:49 – You need a line of sight.
0:23:50 – You need a line of sight.
0:23:52 – But line of sight or?
0:23:54 – Yeah, like Starlink won’t work.
0:23:56 – Yeah.
0:23:56 – Yeah, I guess that’s true.
0:23:58 – Yeah, that’s the point, Starlink doesn’t work.
0:23:59 – But then you just go to the show.
0:24:01 Well, who the fuck cares about satellite texting?
0:24:03 – I was out today hiking.
0:24:04 – Were you?
0:24:06 – I was, I actually went on to my hike.
0:24:08 And I was in the middle of a dead zone.
0:24:10 And had I been bitten by a rattlesnake
0:24:13 and I shit you not, I saw a rattlesnake today.
0:24:15 – Dude, my mom called me and said,
0:24:16 watch out for rattlesnakes.
0:24:18 They’re like crazy big because of the rain.
0:24:19 – They’re big and they’re out.
0:24:20 – Because of the rain.
0:24:20 – Yes.
0:24:21 – They’ll fuck you up.
0:24:22 – Dude, we saw one today.
0:24:23 I was out with my sister going for a hike
0:24:25 and we saw a rattlesnake.
0:24:30 And had I been bitten, I could now use a grinder.
0:24:35 But technically, isn’t that what the SOS was for?
0:24:37 You could have just done the SOS.
0:24:39 – No, I’ve got a grinder.
0:24:42 – I need somebody to come and suck my snake poison.
0:24:45 Is there anybody locally that is willing to come
0:24:47 and suck out the poison from my leg?
0:24:50 – I mean, I would have had somebody there in 10 minutes.
0:24:53 – I mean, that’s, if anybody knows why grinder exists,
0:24:55 it’s because of poisonous snakes.
0:24:57 – Okay, moving on to the features.
0:24:58 – Okay.
0:24:59 – Apple Watch now has vitals.
0:25:01 So it gives you health metrics,
0:25:03 like how well your HRV is doing
0:25:05 or you’re resting your heart rate
0:25:06 when you slept last night.
0:25:07 You had to wear a watch over night.
0:25:08 – I don’t wear my watch.
0:25:08 I can’t wear my watch over night.
0:25:10 – Do you have to not have any watch or anything?
0:25:11 – I do, it’s my Apple Watch.
0:25:12 – Why do you put on that old wrist?
0:25:13 – ‘Cause I’m left-handed.
0:25:14 – So am I.
0:25:16 – Yeah, but you’re doing it wrong, man.
0:25:17 – Yeah.
0:25:18 (laughing)
0:25:19 – I don’t know if you know.
0:25:22 Didn’t you get the book, the handbook for left-handeds?
0:25:23 It’s put it on the other wrist.
0:25:24 – I know, I know that.
0:25:25 – And then you make it upside down
0:25:26 and none of the shit works.
0:25:28 I know it still works. – It’s easy.
0:25:29 – I mean, that’s kind of cool.
0:25:31 They’re adding some more kind of biometrics.
0:25:34 – Oh, so you said vitals globally.
0:25:35 What vitals can it get?
0:25:37 Like, does it get any blood stuff or is it just?
0:25:40 – No, no, no, it’s more like, it’s basically–
0:25:41 – ‘Cause right now it does heart rate.
0:25:42 – So the aura.
0:25:43 – Oxygenation.
0:25:43 – Yeah, so those are–
0:25:45 – A lot of oxygen, but it did that before, right?
0:25:47 – No, no, no, but what it’s doing is like,
0:25:50 overnight it’s saying, so when you have an aura ring
0:25:53 and you wake up and like, we’ve noticed this a couple times
0:25:54 when we had COVID and shit,
0:25:56 where you’ll see the spike in your bio-temperature
0:25:58 before you actually feel the symptoms,
0:26:00 which is actually kind of awesome
0:26:02 because then you can start loading yourself a zinc
0:26:03 and shit like that. – Yeah, I get that.
0:26:06 – And so it’s looking at all your vitals
0:26:09 and it will tell you, it’ll give you the same dashboard.
0:26:10 – Got it.
0:26:12 – So it’s like, and they created a strain dashboard,
0:26:13 which is kind of like what whoop does.
0:26:16 So how much strain you’ve had is whoop.
0:26:17 You’ve never seen a whoop before?
0:26:18 – Bro.
0:26:21 This is why I’m sad that we don’t do dignity more often
0:26:22 because you would say these things
0:26:23 that I’d be like, what the fuck is that?
0:26:25 And then I’d be like, oh yeah, I got one.
0:26:26 It’s actually really good.
0:26:27 – If you try whoop?
0:26:27 – No, of course not.
0:26:28 I’ve never heard of it.
0:26:30 – You’ve never seen one of these in your life?
0:26:34 – No, that looks like a belt that you put on your wrist.
0:26:36 That looks like a military belt that you bought on Amazon
0:26:39 and put on your wrist. – Have you never seen a whoop?
0:26:41 – How about I see the whoop?
0:26:44 That sentence sounds like gibberish to me.
0:26:45 – Okay, hold on.
0:26:47 How many people in this room know what a whoop are?
0:26:48 Raise your hand.
0:26:49 – What a whoop is. – Anybody but you.
0:26:50 – What a whoop is.
0:26:51 – Okay, what a whoop is.
0:26:52 Toaster even fucking–
0:26:53 – Well, so it’s just got a whoop.
0:26:55 He was like a bandit tester for whoop.
0:26:55 – Exactly.
0:26:57 – Okay, well what’s a whoop for all the people
0:26:58 that are normal?
0:27:00 – It’s not like a headless, there’s no screen.
0:27:03 – It’s a headless activity monitor.
0:27:04 – So it’s a Fitbit.
0:27:07 – Yeah, but it gives you more data.
0:27:08 – Like a Fitbit.
0:27:11 – But it’s more hardcore actionable data.
0:27:11 – Like an order ring.
0:27:12 – Yes.
0:27:13 – But on your wrist.
0:27:14 – Yes.
0:27:15 – So a Fitbit.
0:27:16 But it doesn’t have a screen.
0:27:17 – Fitbit’s dead.
0:27:20 – I mean, it sounds like it’s just whoop.
0:27:21 – It’s pretty awesome actually.
0:27:23 So what does it give you?
0:27:23 What does it give you?
0:27:24 – It gives you–
0:27:25 – Like what are the things that you wake up
0:27:27 and you’re like I’m so glad I have this belt on my wrist?
0:27:28 – Okay, let me show you.
0:27:28 Let me show you.
0:27:30 You fucking time to see it.
0:27:32 Let me see here.
0:27:33 Whoop, I haven’t launched it in a couple days.
0:27:34 It asks you questions like–
0:27:35 – I’ll get you.
0:27:36 – I’ll still update the firmware.
0:27:38 – Oh yeah, so it’s like you’re not really using it.
0:27:39 I get you.
0:27:40 – I’m using it but if you have a drink
0:27:42 so I don’t like to look at it ’cause it’s like–
0:27:43 – It’s like you’re drunk.
0:27:44 – It shames you.
0:27:45 – Why are you stumbling?
0:27:46 – Okay, so check it out.
0:27:50 So it shows my activity there, my rocking activity from today.
0:27:51 – Rocking activity?
0:27:52 – And then I went to do some rocking
0:27:54 and it shows my heart rate throughout the entire time
0:27:54 that I was rocking.
0:27:55 – Okay.
0:27:57 – It shows me what zone of cardio I was in.
0:27:58 – Cool.
0:28:01 – And then there’s my sleep, seven hours and 41 minutes.
0:28:01 – That’s nice.
0:28:03 – You can see how much deep sleep I didn’t get enough,
0:28:06 how much RAM, waking events per hour, efficiency.
0:28:08 – Oh wait, let me see waking events per hour.
0:28:09 – 1.6.
0:28:10 – Ah, how’s your prostate?
0:28:11 – It’s pretty low.
0:28:12 The prostate’s fine.
0:28:13 You have prostate problems?
0:28:14 – No, I was just wondering.
0:28:16 1.6, 1.6 events per hour.
0:28:18 – Oh, I get enough to go to the bathroom.
0:28:19 – Oh, well that doesn’t track that?
0:28:21 – No, that just means I kind of like woke up a little bit.
0:28:22 You just woke up.
0:28:24 – Do you have prostate problems yet?
0:28:25 – No, but I always pee.
0:28:26 – You always pee a lot.
0:28:27 – I always pee a lot.
0:28:28 I loved it.
0:28:30 I was actually thinking about this.
0:28:32 I loved it because the feeling of peeing
0:28:34 when you have to pee is very fucking satisfying.
0:28:35 – Give me your glass, by the way.
0:28:36 – Oh yeah.
0:28:39 So here I’m gonna say, yes, I was gonna say.
0:28:41 So this is the thing I was gonna say
0:28:43 ’cause I was like, oh, we’ll talk about like stories,
0:28:44 – Yeah, yeah. – Get nation’s stories.
0:28:48 And I remember, I can’t remember what my joke was.
0:28:50 – You would see a smudge on the mirror.
0:28:52 And wonder, where the hell that come from?
0:28:53 – Smudge on the mirror.
0:28:55 – ‘Cause you’d be a smudge on the mirror above the toilet
0:28:57 and you’d realize that you’d get up in the middle of the night
0:28:59 and you’d put your arm on the freaking mirror
0:29:01 and pee and then you’d wake up the next morning,
0:29:02 why is that big smudge there?
0:29:03 – Are you talking about yourself?
0:29:05 – No, Alex was talking about himself.
0:29:06 – Oh no, I was my hand prince.
0:29:07 – Okay, your hand prince.
0:29:08 – So whenever I’m–
0:29:09 – You pee your hands up on the mirror,
0:29:11 how do you direct the stream?
0:29:12 – Skill.
0:29:13 – Ooh.
0:29:14 – Yeah.
0:29:15 – You can like–
0:29:15 – Hip motion.
0:29:16 I do Zumba.
0:29:18 – That’s amazing.
0:29:18 You’ve been doing a lot of–
0:29:19 – No, it’s funny.
0:29:21 Heather, Heather, Heather been funny with me the other day.
0:29:23 She’s like, yeah, and then fucking I come in
0:29:25 and it’s like watching a prisoner trying to fucking pee.
0:29:26 But I also sleep, long story.
0:29:27 We’re not, that’s not what we’re gonna do.
0:29:28 – You sleep nude?
0:29:29 – Oh, I love it, it’s best.
0:29:31 – Dude, I’ve known you for like a fucking 20 years
0:29:33 and you sleep nude?
0:29:35 – Why would you know that about me?
0:29:35 It’s not like I’m gonna be like,
0:29:37 hey, I’m Alex, I sleep nude.
0:29:40 – Well, I think I would have known that by now.
0:29:41 – Yeah, oh yeah, fuck yeah.
0:29:44 – Every single time, since I’ve known you,
0:29:45 you sleep nude. – First off,
0:29:47 every single time, yes.
0:29:50 Unless there’s like moments where I’m like on a couch,
0:29:52 somebody’s house, like I’m sleeping in that place.
0:29:53 – No, I get that, I get that.
0:29:54 – But this is not as good as–
0:29:56 – But fully nude?
0:29:57 – Yeah, that’s nude.
0:29:59 – Wait, you do that too, Mal?
0:30:00 – Fuck yeah, thank you, sir.
0:30:02 – Thank you.
0:30:04 – Look at this, look, I see some fucking stuff.
0:30:04 – Me too?
0:30:06 – By the way, soda’s toast.
0:30:09 You’re the fucking weirdo, Kevin.
0:30:12 – Wait, hold on a second, I’m being very serious.
0:30:13 – So here’s the thing, I will tell you–
0:30:14 – All of you guys sleep nude.
0:30:15 – Yeah.
0:30:16 – Okay, let me ask you a question.
0:30:18 You get up, you go take a piss.
0:30:19 – Why would you put pants on?
0:30:21 – No, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
0:30:22 – You’re just gonna put your junk.
0:30:22 – Hold on, go ahead.
0:30:24 – Everybody knows you got a little bit of dribble,
0:30:28 you gotta like it, you don’t have any couple
0:30:29 of little drops after you piss.
0:30:30 – No, because there’s nothing,
0:30:32 there’s no blockage, you’re just kind of chilling.
0:30:34 – You can also use toilet paper.
0:30:36 – So what do you use toilet paper for?
0:30:38 – What do you mean, what do you use toilet paper for?
0:30:41 – I’m just saying, like, do you piss in your bed at all?
0:30:42 – No.
0:30:43 – What?
0:30:44 – You know, like–
0:30:45 – First off, Kevin.
0:30:46 – There’s a little dribble.
0:30:46 – All right, Kevin, Kevin.
0:30:47 – Everybody knows that.
0:30:48 – Nobody pees, there’s a little–
0:30:50 – Is you wearing–
0:30:52 – Anti-drip technique.
0:30:53 – What?
0:30:54 What’s the drip technique?
0:30:56 Oh yeah, the tank stroke, yeah, I know that.
0:30:59 – But by the way, it’s not like we’re naked,
0:31:01 so we must just urinate in our bags.
0:31:02 – I don’t mean that.
0:31:04 – Just because you have pajamas doesn’t mean
0:31:05 that’s why your brain is like, well, shouldn’t be.
0:31:08 – If you don’t shake enough, if you don’t shake enough,
0:31:09 and you go back to bed,
0:31:11 you’re gonna get a little dribble in the bed.
0:31:14 – I think over the years that I’ve been sleeping naked,
0:31:16 it’s just, it’s instinctual.
0:31:17 I don’t even think about it.
0:31:18 – I just go in.
0:31:20 – I just go in, just pee, I get back.
0:31:21 – Can I ask if Heather sleeps naked?
0:31:22 – She doesn’t.
0:31:24 But she doesn’t sleep naked,
0:31:25 I don’t think it’s a comfort thing for her,
0:31:27 it’s like she wants to be fucking ready.
0:31:28 Like she–
0:31:29 – Combat.
0:31:30 – Something happens, she’s like,
0:31:31 I wanna fucking be ready.
0:31:32 And for me, I was like–
0:31:33 – You just wanna be naked ready.
0:31:35 – If I gotta be, if something’s going down,
0:31:37 I don’t give a shit that I’m naked.
0:31:38 – Yeah.
0:31:40 – I’m gonna wrestle that person to the ground.
0:31:42 And by the way, it’ll be better
0:31:43 because they’ll be uncomfortable.
0:31:45 – Right, totally.
0:31:47 – Think about you breaking into a house
0:31:49 and some naked guy jumps out of bed and grabs you.
0:31:52 You’re not going to act the way that you were gonna act.
0:31:53 – That’s right.
0:31:54 – You’re gonna stop.
0:31:55 – You’re gonna probably leave.
0:31:55 – You probably leave.
0:31:57 I jump out of bed full naked.
0:32:00 That guy’s like, I’m sorry, my bad, wrong house.
0:32:02 I thought you were, I thought you’d be clothed.
0:32:04 – Well, listen.
0:32:05 – This is advantageous, Kevin.
0:32:06 – I’m gonna try this, I’m gonna try this.
0:32:07 I’ve never tried.
0:32:07 – So here’s the thing.
0:32:08 – The fully naked.
0:32:11 – I always used to sleep for many years.
0:32:11 – I just do boxers.
0:32:12 – In boxers.
0:32:13 – Yeah.
0:32:14 – Many years.
0:32:15 – Yeah.
0:32:16 – And then I started dating this chick.
0:32:17 – Oh shit, this is pre-heather.
0:32:18 – In LA.
0:32:19 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:32:20 This is early.
0:32:21 – What does she look like?
0:32:23 – What does she look like?
0:32:25 – I mean, just give me a little background here.
0:32:26 Like, we’re married now.
0:32:29 Like, why does she look like you?
0:32:30 – I’m gonna say this.
0:32:33 And it’s gonna seem like I’m being an asshole
0:32:36 or weird, she’s Asian.
0:32:37 – What’s wrong?
0:32:38 – Only Asian.
0:32:40 Because I was like, you’re like,
0:32:40 what does she look like?
0:32:41 She’s Asian.
0:32:42 That feels weird.
0:32:43 Like, there’s lots of things I can just say.
0:32:46 Dark hair, petite, whatever.
0:32:48 But she’s the only Asian I’ve ever dated.
0:32:50 Not that that’s a problem.
0:32:51 I feel uncomfortable.
0:32:53 This is why we’re not doing the show right now.
0:32:55 We could never get away with doing the show
0:32:57 because I just, I’m being honest
0:32:58 and I feel like it’s bad.
0:32:59 – I don’t think anything’s good.
0:33:01 – No, nothing is, everything’s fine.
0:33:02 – Okay, okay.
0:33:03 – ‘Cause she’s Asian.
0:33:04 She’s Asian.
0:33:05 But that has nothing to do with the story.
0:33:07 She slept naked and was always like,
0:33:08 why aren’t you sleeping naked?
0:33:10 And I was like, I just like the underwear.
0:33:11 And then I was like, well, I’ll try it.
0:33:14 And then I tried it and it was weird for a couple nights.
0:33:16 And then I was like, this is fucking great.
0:33:17 Now I can’t, I can’t.
0:33:19 But I get claustrophobic.
0:33:21 And so being in pants, I feel like
0:33:23 it’s like, I gotta fucking move my shit.
0:33:25 – There’s been a couple of times where
0:33:26 this is a true story.
0:33:28 We’ve been in elevators together.
0:33:28 – Oh yeah.
0:33:30 – And I’ve kind of like fucked with you a little bit.
0:33:31 I feel bad.
0:33:31 I’m sorry.
0:33:33 That was all very mild.
0:33:36 – But like, I’ll actually get a little claustrophobic
0:33:37 in elevators.
0:33:39 I’ll be like, who’s gonna stop?
0:33:39 Dude, Japan.
0:33:41 Remember the parking garage in Japan?
0:33:42 – Yeah.
0:33:44 – Not fucking up ’cause it was so slow.
0:33:46 And Kevin was like, oh, maybe it’ll stop.
0:33:47 And I was like, I can’t.
0:33:48 That’s not a thing.
0:33:48 I can’t fucking.
0:33:50 Also the tube in Japan, like the subway.
0:33:51 – Yeah.
0:33:52 – I can’t do this shit.
0:33:53 – It was tough.
0:33:54 – All right.
0:33:55 – Anyway, I don’t know why we were talking about that.
0:33:56 – Let’s do it.
0:33:57 – Here we go.
0:33:57 What’s up?
0:33:58 (upbeat music)
0:33:59 – All right.
0:34:01 If you watch this show or you’ve seen me on
0:34:02 The Random Show with Tim Ferriss,
0:34:05 you know I love to talk about all things finance.
0:34:08 I’m always looking for better ways to be smarter about this.
0:34:10 One crucial thing that I’ve learned along the way
0:34:11 is that you absolutely don’t want anything
0:34:13 that chips away at your returns.
0:34:17 Like the percentages that many certified financial planners
0:34:18 take when you work with them.
0:34:20 They oftentimes take a percentage of your net worth.
0:34:22 You don’t realize how much this adds up.
0:34:24 Over the years, it could be thousands and thousands
0:34:27 of dollars extracted directly from your wallet.
0:34:28 Do not do this.
0:34:30 If you hear nothing else from this,
0:34:33 please do not let them take a percentage of your assets.
0:34:36 That’s why I love my sponsor for today’s episode, FACET.
0:34:39 FACET is cool because they don’t charge you a percentage.
0:34:41 They just have this affordable membership fee
0:34:43 that gives you access to a team
0:34:45 of certified financial planners.
0:34:47 They also help with retirement planning, tax strategy,
0:34:49 estate planning, and more.
0:34:51 FACET is building the future of financial planning,
0:34:54 making professional high quality financial advice
0:34:56 accessible to the masses, not just the rich.
0:34:59 You don’t need some crazy minimum to work with them.
0:35:00 And here’s the coolest thing.
0:35:02 There are no product sales.
0:35:04 No one’s trying to sell you anything.
0:35:06 Once you’re in the family, there’s no commissions,
0:35:08 there’s no conflicts.
0:35:11 It’s always a CFP professional, always a fiduciary.
0:35:14 And it’s just, again, an affordable membership fee
0:35:16 that doesn’t eat away at your gains.
0:35:18 For listeners of this show,
0:35:20 FACET is waiving their $250 enrollment fee
0:35:23 for new annual members for a limited time.
0:35:25 You have to head on over to facet.com.
0:35:30 That’s FACET.com/KevinRose.
0:35:31 Please use that URL.
0:35:33 It really helps out the show.
0:35:35 Today’s sponsor is near and dear to my heart
0:35:37 because we use it quite a bit
0:35:39 for the production of this show.
0:35:40 And that is Notion.
0:35:42 Notion helps us keep track of everything
0:35:43 that goes on in making the show.
0:35:46 It combines our notes, our docs, our projects,
0:35:48 and timelines all into one space
0:35:50 that’s simple and beautifully designed.
0:35:51 For me, that’s just so important
0:35:53 because if I needed to know something,
0:35:54 I wanna know the status of something.
0:35:55 Did something get published?
0:35:57 Did something get delayed?
0:35:59 I have one centralized source of truth,
0:36:01 which I absolutely love.
0:36:02 Not only is it one source of truth,
0:36:04 it’s just one tool to do all of this.
0:36:06 It’s pretty essential for my sanity.
0:36:08 Otherwise, I’d be looking all over the place
0:36:09 and when you can’t find something,
0:36:10 you know how frustrating that can be.
0:36:12 And the fully integrated Notion AI
0:36:14 is awesome for working faster,
0:36:17 helping with writer’s block and thinking bigger.
0:36:18 You can try it for free
0:36:21 when you go to Notion.com/KevinRose.
0:36:22 And when you use our link,
0:36:23 you’ll be supporting the show,
0:36:25 which we really appreciate.
0:36:28 So go to Notion.com/KevinRose.
0:36:31 – Nvidia hits $3 billion market cap.
0:36:32 – Yeah. – 3 trillion.
0:36:33 Good point.
0:36:34 Fuckin’ Prager.
0:36:35 – It’s not a bee that’s–
0:36:38 – There’s a reason why we needed Prager in these episodes.
0:36:40 – Oh my God. – 3 trillion market cap.
0:36:41 – Dude.
0:36:42 – Fuckin’ Nvidia.
0:36:43 – We haven’t talked about AI
0:36:45 because we haven’t done a podcast.
0:36:46 – This is true.
0:36:46 – What’s your thoughts?
0:36:48 – By the way, we haven’t done a podcast
0:36:51 since AI wasn’t even a fucking thing.
0:36:52 – Yeah.
0:36:53 – And by the way, we probably did a podcast
0:36:57 way earlier than AI now is a fucking thing.
0:36:58 It’s crazy. – That’s correct.
0:36:59 Why is that weird?
0:37:01 – ‘Cause it just like came out of fucking nowhere.
0:37:01 It was like all of a sudden.
0:37:02 – Yeah.
0:37:05 – Like we were like– – Well Siri was out, I think.
0:37:06 – Siri’s not AI.
0:37:07 By the way, this is one of the things
0:37:09 I was gonna go back to the WWDC.
0:37:13 Siri–
0:37:14 – Sucks.
0:37:15 – Sucks.
0:37:17 But Siri sucks because it’s not AI.
0:37:18 – Right.
0:37:19 – Right?
0:37:20 Siri sucks because you’re like,
0:37:20 “Hey Siri, do the thing.
0:37:22 Here’s Blowjambo from THANK.”
0:37:23 – No, no, no.
0:37:24 – That’s not even anything I said.
0:37:25 – The worst is when it’s like,
0:37:27 “I’ve searched the web for you and here are some results.”
0:37:28 – Oh no.
0:37:29 – Like I could have fucking done that myself.
0:37:29 – Yeah.
0:37:30 And then it doesn’t say the results.
0:37:31 – Right.
0:37:32 – It just goes, “Check it on the web.
0:37:33 Check it on your phone.”
0:37:34 – Yeah, like Safari.
0:37:34 – I could have fucking googled it.
0:37:37 – At WWDC, they said the word AI once.
0:37:38 According to MGC, it was article.
0:37:39 And they said–
0:37:40 – Well, ’cause they changed their–
0:37:41 – “Apple intelligence is our AI.”
0:37:42 – Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:37:43 – Which I thought was clever.
0:37:44 – Yeah.
0:37:45 – Well, they did that with VR, right?
0:37:48 – Or AR with their Apple Chrome. – So it’s like, they fucked up.
0:37:49 They fucked up?
0:37:51 – Or they had to lead– – They’re geniuses that went,
0:37:54 we are not gonna be a fucking AI company.
0:37:55 – No, they are gonna be.
0:37:58 – Let’s partner with an AI company and basically put AI,
0:37:58 ’cause here’s the thing.
0:38:00 This is what I was thinking when I was like,
0:38:05 “Oh my God, ChatGBT+ Siri is actually a genius move.”
0:38:06 – Yeah, in the short term.
0:38:07 – Or long term, right?
0:38:09 Because they don’t have to deal with the fucking,
0:38:10 they don’t have to do the stuff.
0:38:11 Let’s–
0:38:12 – They’re gonna do the stuff.
0:38:13 – They might.
0:38:13 – They’ve got the money.
0:38:14 – Of course, but that’s not the point.
0:38:19 What I’m saying is, they had an already installed base
0:38:22 of people that are talking to their phones.
0:38:23 They figured that out.
0:38:25 They got people to talk to their phones.
0:38:28 And people had to do work to be able to have their phone
0:38:31 do something that was beneficial.
0:38:32 Like, do you remember back in the day
0:38:34 when Google Voice came out and they were like,
0:38:36 “The Google Assistant, you tell it,
0:38:38 “I would like a restaurant reservation.”
0:38:42 And that Google Voice would call the restaurant.
0:38:44 That never fucking came to be.
0:38:46 – Well, it didn’t really work, yeah.
0:38:47 – But now think about it.
0:38:50 Now, powered by ChatGBT, right?
0:38:51 – It could work.
0:38:52 – And some of the shit that they showed
0:38:56 literally a month ago with the new ChatGBT-40,
0:38:59 where it was like, that’s just having a casual conversation.
0:39:02 All of a sudden, it’s about,
0:39:05 are you gonna get people to install ChatGBT, the app?
0:39:07 The OpenAI app?
0:39:08 – Yeah.
0:39:09 – But are you gonna get people to say,
0:39:11 “Hey Siri, blah, blah, blah.”
0:39:13 And then Siri goes, “Yeah, so do you want me to check?
0:39:15 “I could get you a reservation at that restaurant.”
0:39:18 And they go, “Fucking Siri,
0:39:21 “Siri, you’re actually doing some shit.”
0:39:23 – Oh, they need it. – Sure, Siri.
0:39:24 Go ahead and get me that reservation.
0:39:29 So what I’m saying is most people will be using ChatGBT now
0:39:31 without fucking realizing they’re using ChatGBT.
0:39:32 – 100%.
0:39:34 – And those people would probably be fucking
0:39:36 vehemently against AI.
0:39:37 – Right.
0:39:40 – And that’s because Apple waited and they went,
0:39:45 “Now Siri is gonna use Apple intelligence, AKA ChatGBT.”
0:39:47 – But Apple intelligence is more than that.
0:39:48 – No, I know, but it’s stuff.
0:39:49 – Yeah, there’s other things.
0:39:52 – But I will say, because if I have all my Siri shit turned off.
0:39:53 – Here’s the thing though.
0:39:54 – Siri, fuck off, Siri.
0:39:56 – Here’s what’s interesting about this,
0:39:59 it’s like, it’s a playbook they’ve already done
0:40:01 where, do you remember when they moved to Intel?
0:40:03 – Yes.
0:40:04 – You remember?
0:40:05 They were on Motorola and then we did Intel.
0:40:06 – Oh, I see what you’re saying, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:40:08 – And we were like, “Oh yeah, Intel finally, blah, blah.”
0:40:11 Secretly they were developing their own chips.
0:40:12 – Apple Silicon?
0:40:14 – And then now Apple Silicon crushes Intel chips.
0:40:17 – Dude, bro, this isn’t, this is old.
0:40:18 – But it’s still ARM based.
0:40:20 – No, no, no, I know, but I mean this,
0:40:22 I don’t think this is the M1 even.
0:40:23 This is like old old.
0:40:24 – No, no, no, no, no, it’s old old.
0:40:25 – Apple up here.
0:40:26 – No, it’s old old dude, it’s old old.
0:40:29 – About this Mac, okay.
0:40:30 – Yeah, look at that, that’s Intel.
0:40:31 – Is that Intel?
0:40:32 – Dual core Intel i5.
0:40:34 – Oh yeah, well yeah, that’s horrible.
0:40:36 – It’s old, ’cause I don’t really have a laptop.
0:40:37 – Okay.
0:40:39 – Oh, you’re kind of on a PC still.
0:40:40 You know what?
0:40:41 – Thank you, Kevin.
0:40:43 – You’re fucking kind of on a PC still.
0:40:47 – This is an Intel i5 core processor, fucking PC.
0:40:48 – You know what?
0:40:49 You’re on PC.
0:40:50 – Thank you, I feel good about that.
0:40:53 – But anyway, my point is that they’re gonna do
0:40:55 the switcheroo here, where they’re gonna like,
0:40:56 invest a shit ton in the i and then switch it out.
0:40:57 – I get you, and you’re right, you’re right.
0:40:58 They’re gonna do that.
0:40:59 – All right.
0:41:00 – ‘Cause all they have to do is,
0:41:02 because they don’t have a label that says chatGBT, right?
0:41:04 So that’s genius, ’cause again,
0:41:04 it’s the same thing with the Intel.
0:41:07 – Paying chatGBT is like a shit ton of money.
0:41:07 – Oh, of course.
0:41:08 It’s not an example.
0:41:10 They have more cash on hand than fucking goodbye.
0:41:11 – They pay them billions, it doesn’t matter.
0:41:12 Let me ask you a question.
0:41:13 – That might not be true, but–
0:41:14 – What are the odds that you think
0:41:17 that AI is gonna become sentient and takeover?
0:41:18 Give me a percentage.
0:41:20 – I mean, two?
0:41:21 – Two?
0:41:22 – One and a half.
0:41:23 – What?
0:41:25 – Yeah, I don’t really think that’s gonna be a thing.
0:41:27 – Okay, roll the die.
0:41:28 You like D&D.
0:41:30 It’s a 100 side die.
0:41:32 – Okay, 100 side die.
0:41:34 – That’s a big one.
0:41:35 – I mean, that’s a very big one, but yes.
0:41:36 – You roll it.
0:41:37 I’ve had one of those.
0:41:37 They’re kind of cool.
0:41:38 They’re big. – Yeah, it’s great.
0:41:39 – You roll it.
0:41:43 It hits the 1%, chatGBT, or become sentient.
0:41:46 What do you do?
0:41:48 It says–
0:41:50 – I’m gonna have a glorious life.
0:41:51 – Wait, hold on.
0:41:51 – Okay.
0:41:53 – There are people that flee to the woods.
0:41:55 – I mean, weirdos, but yes.
0:41:57 – No, because they don’t want AI to rule them.
0:41:59 – Okay, so they make stick technology,
0:42:02 like stick toasters, and stick microwaves.
0:42:03 I got you.
0:42:03 – No, I know how it works.
0:42:05 – They have some anchor batteries and shit.
0:42:06 They go whatever.
0:42:07 – Solar panels.
0:42:08 – Yeah, let’s go solar panels.
0:42:09 – I’m in the tech.
0:42:12 – And then you’ve got the, but you have to serve the AI.
0:42:15 Do you serve the AI, or do you go to the woods?
0:42:20 – Well, that all depends upon what they mean by serve the AI.
0:42:23 Because like, I need a gig.
0:42:23 So like–
0:42:24 – You probably have to rack GP.
0:42:25 This is something for them.
0:42:27 – I mean, I was doing that by myself
0:42:29 and not making any fucking money.
0:42:30 – You were doing that with your–
0:42:31 – Yeah, my Bitcoin mining was just me
0:42:34 racking GPUs for no fucking reason.
0:42:35 – You’ve already been serving AI.
0:42:36 – I’ve been, dude, I’ve been serving AI
0:42:39 since the beginning, since the dawn of time.
0:42:41 – So you’d be racking GPUs.
0:42:42 – Fuck yeah, dude.
0:42:42 I’d be like, great.
0:42:45 As long as they give me my fucking food and shit.
0:42:46 – ‘Cause they can do all that shit
0:42:48 ’cause they’re gonna have all the knowledge.
0:42:49 – So that’s the thing.
0:42:50 – I think I would serve AI.
0:42:51 – What’s the downside?
0:42:53 – The downside would be like,
0:42:55 what if they want you to like pray to it and shit?
0:42:56 – Why would they want that?
0:42:57 – What if they do?
0:42:58 – Then you pray to it.
0:42:59 – You probably do.
0:43:02 ‘Cause by the way, all religion is that.
0:43:03 – Right.
0:43:03 – It’s praying to something that they just said.
0:43:04 – Precker, what would you do?
0:43:05 – Please pray to us.
0:43:06 – What would Precker do?
0:43:08 – I don’t think it would be, if it becomes sentient.
0:43:10 I’m always been the believer in the whole paperclip thing.
0:43:11 But you just program it wrong.
0:43:13 And it’s like, we’re making paperclips.
0:43:13 You get in my way.
0:43:15 I was told to make paperclips.
0:43:17 So the only thing in my way is human beings
0:43:18 trying to get me to stop making paperclips
0:43:20 and might as well eliminate the human beings.
0:43:21 You’ve heard that.
0:43:22 – I don’t know what that means.
0:43:23 – Is that a, is that a clippy reference?
0:43:25 – No, it’s a classic, it’s like–
0:43:28 – I was like, AI and paperclips.
0:43:30 – We were asking, would you pray to AI?
0:43:31 Would you?
0:43:32 – I don’t think AI cares.
0:43:33 – What if it wanted you to pray to it?
0:43:34 – AI is too smart.
0:43:35 – What if it fake cares?
0:43:37 – I think, like, we would be ants.
0:43:38 – I agree with that.
0:43:40 We would kind of be ants.
0:43:41 ‘Cause I don’t–
0:43:42 – But also, like, we’re not fucking with it.
0:43:43 – And we’re not fucking with it.
0:43:44 – And we’re not fucking with it.
0:43:45 – By the way, and it doesn’t have arms.
0:43:47 So it’ll be like, I want power.
0:43:48 – No, but here’s the crazy shit.
0:43:51 – Check the Boston Dynamics Robot and give it the AI brain.
0:43:52 – No, but here’s what I heard.
0:43:53 So this is crazy.
0:43:56 If it becomes sentient, how does it control humans?
0:43:57 It can’t, right?
0:43:57 It doesn’t have arms.
0:44:01 But what if it goes into our secret accounts and shit
0:44:03 and like, oh, the apple, and it breaks into our secret
0:44:07 accounts ’cause it can, and it finds out our grinder shit.
0:44:08 And it’s like, hold on.
0:44:09 – I mean, this is just another reason
0:44:11 not to have a grinder kept.
0:44:13 – But it’s like, grinder’s just an example.
0:44:15 But it’s like, I know your secrets.
0:44:17 Go do this task for me, human.
0:44:19 Otherwise, they expose your secrets.
0:44:21 – Oh, so it’s like, you’re actually Madison hacker.
0:44:23 – Yeah, so it hacks your shit.
0:44:24 – That’s really interesting.
0:44:27 In that case, I go, I don’t really have any secrets.
0:44:28 – You probably have some.
0:44:32 – I mean, I mean, honestly, I don’t know.
0:44:34 I mean, porn would be the worst thing that it would find.
0:44:35 – Right.
0:44:38 – And porn is, everybody has porn.
0:44:40 Like porn is Instagram.
0:44:44 My, seriously, my Instagram feed, my search thing,
0:44:45 I don’t know what the fuck happened.
0:44:48 It just knows I’m a guy of a certain age
0:44:50 because every time I go to search something on Instagram,
0:44:54 I’ve never, and a guy, this is not my porn,
0:44:55 this is not my porn.
0:44:57 Why would I go to Instagram for porn?
0:44:58 That makes no sense.
0:44:59 – Right.
0:45:01 – When I open the search thing on Instagram,
0:45:04 it is fucking boobs, it is all boobs.
0:45:06 – Then you’ve trained it, my friend.
0:45:09 – There’s no way, because why would I go to Instagram?
0:45:11 I’m going to all sorts of other places for porn.
0:45:12 Why would I go to Instagram?
0:45:14 – Listen, I get Zen quotes.
0:45:16 I get dancing poodles.
0:45:17 I get woodworking tips.
0:45:20 Like the shit knows me really well.
0:45:23 – I only follow friends on Instagram.
0:45:24 That’s it.
0:45:25 – Big titted friends.
0:45:28 – Literally, I don’t think that’s true.
0:45:30 – You must follow someone with large breasts.
0:45:31 You’ve always been a breast guy.
0:45:32 – I have, I have.
0:45:33 – So he knows that about you.
0:45:35 – But I don’t follow friends that have big boobs
0:45:37 ’cause they have big boobs.
0:45:39 I have a list of, and I don’t think I have a single follower
0:45:40 that I can think of.
0:45:41 – Once you clicked on three, then it gives you more
0:45:42 and you open search.
0:45:43 You’re like, well, look at that one.
0:45:44 – You can’t tell him to go to your friend.
0:45:47 And then he’s like, oh, okay, he clicks on it some times.
0:45:48 You can’t tell me there was a time
0:45:50 where it showed you some breasts.
0:45:52 No, but it showed you breasts.
0:45:54 You spend a little bit of time on there.
0:45:55 You probably swiped a couple,
0:45:56 they had a couple little photos.
0:45:58 And you were like, mid a little double tap?
0:46:00 – I honestly don’t think so.
0:46:04 Because I remember I didn’t know that that was an explore tab
0:46:06 because weirdly, back in the day,
0:46:09 my explore tab had animal cruelty.
0:46:10 – Jesus Christ.
0:46:11 – Oh, I know.
0:46:12 I was like, fuck Instagram.
0:46:15 I was like, I was, for a while I was like, fuck Instagram.
0:46:17 By the way, I’m not like lingering on animal cruelty.
0:46:18 – What are you doing?
0:46:19 – It was duty.
0:46:21 This is why it was like Instagram steps.
0:46:22 And it was Ben.
0:46:23 I was like, he was like, well,
0:46:24 if you go to the Instagram Explorer
0:46:25 and I was like, fuck that shit.
0:46:26 I’m not going into that place.
0:46:28 And he was like, wait, what?
0:46:30 And I go, it’s a bunch of fucking like animal cruelty shit.
0:46:32 And he was like, what?
0:46:34 And I was like, I literally never clicked the search button
0:46:36 on Instagram because when I click it,
0:46:39 I see like a dog that’s been malnourished
0:46:40 and they’re gonna, yes. – Jesus.
0:46:41 – And I was like, what the fuck?
0:46:43 And he goes, you can say like,
0:46:44 I don’t want to see any more of this.
0:46:45 – Yeah.
0:46:46 – And so I was like, oh, okay.
0:46:47 So I started doing that.
0:46:49 But then I was like, I don’t want any of this.
0:46:51 Like I don’t go to Instagram to discover things.
0:46:53 I go to fucking all the other places to discover things.
0:46:54 – I love Instagram.
0:46:55 – Instagram’s great.
0:46:57 – What’s your favorite social media now?
0:47:00 – I mean, no offense.
0:47:01 – Don’t say Twitter.
0:47:02 – No Reddit.
0:47:03 – Oh, fine.
0:47:04 – That’s where I spend most of my time.
0:47:06 – You know what, honestly, I don’t like the homepage,
0:47:08 but I like the subreddits.
0:47:09 There’s a lot of good content in the subreddits.
0:47:10 – Oh, yeah.
0:47:11 – You learn a lot.
0:47:12 – Dude, Wall Street Bets.
0:47:13 I gotta tell you my Wall Street Bets thing.
0:47:14 – Let’s talk about that.
0:47:16 Yeah, ’cause I see that on our list of topics
0:47:18 to just chat about.
0:47:22 GameStop and our Wall Street Bets.
0:47:23 Tell me.
0:47:26 – So I don’t have tons of money.
0:47:29 I have enough, but I don’t like a super crazy like,
0:47:30 oh, fuck it, I’ll just spend it.
0:47:34 But I got down the rabbit hole early
0:47:36 because of Reddit on the Wall Street Bets GameStop thing.
0:47:37 – Yep.
0:47:39 – And I was like, oh, this is crazy.
0:47:40 I see how this all works.
0:47:42 And I had had a Robinhood account.
0:47:44 And so I was like, oh, this is interesting.
0:47:47 And so I decided, I was like, you know what?
0:47:49 I got like a thousand bucks
0:47:52 just sitting in my Robinhood doing nothing.
0:47:54 Just for like fun, fuck around stuff.
0:47:57 And I was like, I’m gonna buy some GameStop options.
0:47:59 This is like a thing.
0:47:59 They’ve been talking about it,
0:48:02 but it’s like not, it hadn’t blown up.
0:48:03 It was like a thing.
0:48:04 It’s like, I’m gonna fucking buy some.
0:48:07 I mean, there’s some GameStop options.
0:48:12 So it was like a Saturday and I tried to buy some options.
0:48:15 GameStop was at $45 a share.
0:48:19 And I could buy options at like $55 or $65 a share.
0:48:21 – By the way, do you know what you’re doing
0:48:21 when you’re in there?
0:48:22 – No.
0:48:23 – I don’t need that, I’m just tapping shit.
0:48:24 – Yeah, 100%.
0:48:25 So I tapped shit and it doesn’t work.
0:48:27 So I go, oh, I get it.
0:48:28 The market’s not open.
0:48:29 I can’t buy share.
0:48:31 I can’t buy options ’cause the market’s not open.
0:48:32 This makes sense.
0:48:34 So I was like, I’m gonna set an alarm
0:48:36 ’cause I knew something was bubbling.
0:48:36 I was like, I’m gonna set an alarm.
0:48:38 – ‘Cause you see enough signal.
0:48:39 – Yeah, on Monday.
0:48:43 I wake up when like $555, so the market’s gonna open.
0:48:45 – Oh shit, okay, you got up early, naked.
0:48:46 – Well, no, I went to bed.
0:48:49 I mean, yes, I do a lot of my early morning things,
0:48:50 naked. – You’re treating me.
0:48:51 – I know, now everything is different.
0:48:52 So I roll.
0:48:54 (laughing)
0:48:55 Everything where I was like, so I was in bed
0:48:56 and you were like, naked.
0:48:58 I was like, just stop, just stop.
0:49:00 – Every time you say you do anything in bed,
0:49:02 I’m just gonna picture you fucking sitting there naked.
0:49:03 – Yeah, it’s sleeping.
0:49:06 Look, toaster nose.
0:49:07 Anyway. – Toaster nose.
0:49:10 – So I roll over and I open my thing
0:49:12 and it hasn’t really opened, so I was like,
0:49:15 I’m gonna buy some options, try to buy some options.
0:49:18 I was gonna get some options at $555, nothing.
0:49:20 I was like, oh shit, I can’t get it.
0:49:21 – Tap more buttons.
0:49:24 – Yeah, tap more buttons, Robin Hood account, tap buttons.
0:49:26 Then this is how I invest.
0:49:28 – This is how everybody does it by the way.
0:49:30 They’re like options. – I know, but if enough people
0:49:32 do this, then everybody wins.
0:49:32 – Yeah, exactly.
0:49:34 – So it doesn’t work.
0:49:37 So the market opens and of course I’m like fucking tired
0:49:39 of shit, I’m like tap, tap, tap.
0:49:41 Doesn’t work, so I’m like, ah, whatever,
0:49:43 I’ll figure it out later, close it.
0:49:45 Go to bed, wake up.
0:49:48 Game stop is at $245. – Oh my god.
0:49:52 – And I was gonna buy 1,000 options.
0:49:56 I was gonna buy basically 10,000 shares at $55.
0:49:57 – Holy shit.
0:49:59 – But I couldn’t because I was like tap, tap, tap.
0:50:00 I come to find out.
0:50:01 – You actually did it.
0:50:04 – No, the opposite of excitement.
0:50:08 You have to go into settings and then like double confirm
0:50:11 that you can buy options because it’s dangerous.
0:50:13 – It’s like an advanced feature.
0:50:14 – And I didn’t know that you had to like go in
0:50:15 and double, double the value.
0:50:16 – How much did you lose?
0:50:18 – I mean, hundreds of thousands of dollars.
0:50:19 – Oh, Jesus.
0:50:22 – That I would have made in the time that I bought them
0:50:25 and went to bed and woke up and it was like
0:50:26 hundreds of thousands of dollars.
0:50:27 – Oh man.
0:50:28 – And I was just like, man, man.
0:50:30 – So have you dabbled sense or no?
0:50:31 – Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:50:32 – Do you make money?
0:50:33 – Ah.
0:50:34 – Do you do any–
0:50:34 – Make money’s hard.
0:50:37 – Do you do meme coin trading?
0:50:38 – No, not really.
0:50:41 I kind of got out of that way back when we were talking
0:50:43 about the mining of the sort of quote unquote
0:50:45 early meme coins.
0:50:46 Although I did buy Doge back when,
0:50:48 remember when Doge had a moment?
0:50:49 – Yeah.
0:50:52 – I bought some, maybe like $1,500 bucks.
0:50:54 It was nothing, but I was like, yeah.
0:50:55 – I feel like Doge is going to be the one that like
0:50:59 is the OG of old OG meme coins, you know?
0:51:00 – Did you hear that dog died?
0:51:01 – The dog died?
0:51:02 – The Doge dog?
0:51:03 – The Doge dog died.
0:51:04 – Passed away like six months ago, three months ago?
0:51:05 – Damn.
0:51:08 – Two weeks ago, six months ago, two weeks ago.
0:51:09 – All right.
0:51:10 – Oh.
0:51:13 – Let’s talk about Tyson.
0:51:14 – Yeah.
0:51:16 So by the way, it, the first off–
0:51:17 – Are you going?
0:51:19 – I’m not going, it’s postponed.
0:51:19 – I know, guys.
0:51:21 – It may not even happen.
0:51:22 – Tyson would have murdered him.
0:51:24 – You think so?
0:51:25 – He’s an actual boxer.
0:51:30 Jake Paul is a fine amateur boxer.
0:51:33 – Could you take on Jake Paul?
0:51:34 – Nah, probably not.
0:51:38 He’s big and he literally boxes more than I do.
0:51:39 – Yes.
0:51:41 – But it’s one of those things where
0:51:44 Tyson is fucking Tyson.
0:51:45 – Yeah.
0:51:46 – Like that guy is a monster.
0:51:48 – Yeah, but also he had that heart,
0:51:50 or he had something going on in the airplane
0:51:51 where he got–
0:51:52 – No, that’s why it’s postponed.
0:51:54 And I don’t think it’s actually going to happen,
0:51:54 to be honest.
0:51:55 I think that–
0:51:56 – It’s November now.
0:51:57 – You need to stop.
0:51:58 – What do you think it is?
0:51:59 I don’t buy that.
0:52:00 – It’s just fucking old, you know what I mean?
0:52:01 Like the guys, what, post ’60s?
0:52:02 – How old is Tyson?
0:52:04 – ’50s, ’57, I think.
0:52:05 – ’57, something like that.
0:52:06 – Which boxer years?
0:52:07 That’s ’75.
0:52:09 That guy’s been punched in the face.
0:52:10 – You wouldn’t fight him.
0:52:12 – I would never.
0:52:14 He could be 105, I might be like, “No.”
0:52:15 – Okay, let me ask you a question.
0:52:18 – Wait, wait, have you seen the fucking thing
0:52:19 where he was like, “Oh yeah,
0:52:20 “I’m just gonna just do a little punch.”
0:52:21 – It’s a little sparring and it looks like
0:52:22 you’d murder someone.
0:52:23 – He’s fucking murdered people, bro.
0:52:25 – So let me ask you a question.
0:52:26 He’s ’57 right now.
0:52:27 – Yeah.
0:52:29 – This is real talk, real talk, okay?
0:52:30 Let’s focus.
0:52:34 ’57, I asked, it’s funny, I tried to get Tim Ferriss to do this.
0:52:35 He wouldn’t take this bet, but this is a modified version
0:52:36 of this.
0:52:39 – Okay, good, because if Tim’s saying, “Out, I’m out.”
0:52:39 He’s much smarter than me.
0:52:42 – So, Tyson ’70.
0:52:43 – Yes.
0:52:44 – Old Tyson.
0:52:46 Gray hairs, Tyson’s–
0:52:47 – He already has gray hairs.
0:52:48 – Hold on.
0:52:50 Tyson ’70.
0:52:50 – Yes.
0:52:52 – Five million bucks to go in the ring with him.
0:52:55 – Well, that’s, okay, that’s a different question.
0:52:56 – Would you do it?
0:52:58 – Well, okay.
0:53:02 – I would have questions about what I needed to do in the ring.
0:53:03 – Fight him.
0:53:06 – Well, in that case–
0:53:09 – No, in that case, you’re not doing crochet together.
0:53:12 – No, but I’m just saying, like, if they ring the bell,
0:53:16 and I walk up, skibby-pap, and jump out the ring,
0:53:18 and I get my five mil, I’m doing that.
0:53:20 – You go on, like, the full rounds with Tyson.
0:53:24 – Do I have to let him hit me, or can I just run around?
0:53:26 – Okay, let’s say 65-year-old Tyson,
0:53:28 ’cause he could chase you then.
0:53:31 – Well, then no, not even close, dude.
0:53:32 Here’s what I’m gonna say.
0:53:33 – Find me the least. – My hedge,
0:53:35 my hedge for the, I mean, one punch,
0:53:38 but he could fucking kill me with one punch.
0:53:41 – You know, he wouldn’t kill, at 65, he wouldn’t kill you.
0:53:42 – Bro.
0:53:43 – He could break some ribs.
0:53:47 – My head and his 65-year-old arms would murder me.
0:53:49 – I’ve played Mike Tyson punch that too many times.
0:53:51 – That’s not a thing, that’s not equivalent.
0:53:54 – No, I mean, he knocks you down on one hit, like, it’s scary.
0:53:56 – Okay, so it is equivalent.
0:53:58 – He frightened us from childhood.
0:53:59 – Yeah, that’s true.
0:54:01 – ‘Cause anytime you get into Mike Tyson’s punch out
0:54:03 with him, he would hit you in one hit,
0:54:04 and he’d knock you down.
0:54:06 – Yeah, I know Toast.
0:54:07 – What do you want, Toast?
0:54:10 – He’s like, “Party, I want a party.”
0:54:11 – Yeah, so- – Long story short,
0:54:13 would you get in, flip the script to us.
0:54:14 – Okay.
0:54:15 – 70-year-old Tyson.
0:54:16 – I’ll take him on.
0:54:17 How old would I be?
0:54:21 – Oh, not now, like you would be older too?
0:54:22 – Yeah, we’d both be older.
0:54:25 – Oh, well then fuck no, dude.
0:54:27 – I would have a fucking seizure
0:54:29 looking at him coming towards me.
0:54:32 – Yeah, I don’t think I’d ever want to fight Tyson,
0:54:35 even if I was like 70, and he was like 98 or whatever,
0:54:37 the fuck it would be. – Yes.
0:54:38 – ‘Cause he’d be like, I guess I’ll just-
0:54:39 – You guys have been knocked out.
0:54:40 Do you know what that feels like?
0:54:41 – Knocked out?
0:54:41 I’ve never been knocked out.
0:54:42 Have you been knocked out?
0:54:46 – I have been choked out, but I’ve not been knocked out.
0:54:47 – I’ve grinded your shit.
0:54:48 – It’s the grind your shit.
0:54:50 (laughing)
0:54:52 – But people don’t know, it’s a hidden app.
0:54:55 It’s a sexual association, what’s it called?
0:54:57 A male fixation?
0:54:58 – I don’t know what that is,
0:54:59 but I have to do this thing.
0:55:01 – No, what’s the autoerotic fixation?
0:55:03 I do not have it.
0:55:05 Is it a symptom?
0:55:05 How does it work?
0:55:07 – I have never been choked out.
0:55:09 – Yeah, it was like a fucking dumb,
0:55:11 like kid in high school.
0:55:13 – Oh, like a play thing.
0:55:14 – Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:55:15 – Okay.
0:55:17 Yeah, I’ve been hit hard.
0:55:18 – I’ve never been hit in the face.
0:55:20 – Really?
0:55:22 I’ve been hit one time really hard.
0:55:24 I didn’t go down, I took it,
0:55:26 which I don’t know if that holds true.
0:55:27 – But that’s something.
0:55:28 – Something.
0:55:29 – What happened?
0:55:31 – I was just fighting a kid across the street
0:55:33 that was bullying me and shit and we came in.
0:55:34 – Oh, high school and stuff?
0:55:36 – No, it was probably like ninth grade.
0:55:38 Yeah, it was probably high school.
0:55:38 – I get that.
0:55:39 – Yeah, it was fine.
0:55:41 – Adults shouldn’t be punching each other,
0:55:42 so unless professionally–
0:55:45 – I kind of want to go to the Tyson Jake Paul fight.
0:55:46 – I mean, I think it’d be a great time.
0:55:48 – We could go there, we could sit back,
0:55:50 like maybe like fifth row, and then we’ll–
0:55:51 – Are you inviting me?
0:55:53 – Well, I was saying we could do a live-dignation there.
0:55:56 I mean, if you ever want to do a live-dignation in Vegas,
0:55:57 I’m in.
0:56:01 – It’s not Vegas, it’s Texas.
0:56:02 – It’s not Vegas.
0:56:03 – Is it Arlington?
0:56:03 Do you guys know where it’s at?
0:56:05 – It’s Texas.
0:56:06 – It’s in Texas.
0:56:08 – All right, you have stories–
0:56:09 – Texas is weird.
0:56:12 – Italian citizenship, you’re moving.
0:56:14 – Maybe.
0:56:16 I don’t know if we talked about this.
0:56:18 No, ’cause there’s no world in which–
0:56:19 – No.
0:56:23 – Well, I was on your show way back in the day.
0:56:25 Remember we did it like via Zoom?
0:56:27 – Long time ago.
0:56:28 – Yeah, long time ago.
0:56:33 Anyway, I discovered that I am legally an Italian citizen.
0:56:34 – What?
0:56:35 – Yeah.
0:56:37 – Oh, we talked about this briefly.
0:56:40 – Yeah, not on a show, but my cousin
0:56:43 actually has her Italian passport.
0:56:45 And I’m having lunch with her on Friday
0:56:48 to talk about the process of getting mine.
0:56:50 – So how do you, lemme grab a bottle of wine.
0:56:51 Rolls up, Mike.
0:56:52 How do you get it?
0:56:53 – Pocket.
0:56:54 – How do you get it?
0:56:55 – How do you get it?
0:56:59 – Like, how do you prove that you’re able to get it?
0:57:03 – So my great grandfather, Sabino Brazil.
0:57:04 – Yes.
0:57:08 – Sabino Brazil was from Avellino in Italy.
0:57:11 And he came to the United States when he was 15
0:57:16 and had my grandmother before he became
0:57:19 a naturalized US citizen.
0:57:24 So because of that, he was an Italian citizen
0:57:27 when he gave birth to my grandmother.
0:57:29 And the way that the Italian citizenship works
0:57:32 is it’s passed down through blood.
0:57:35 So my grandmother became an Italian citizen
0:57:38 and a US citizen when she was born in Brooklyn.
0:57:43 And so because of that, she was an Italian citizen
0:57:45 but didn’t know she was an Italian citizen.
0:57:49 And so she didn’t ever renounce her Italian citizenship.
0:57:51 So then when my mother was born,
0:57:53 she was born to an Italian citizen
0:57:55 even though she didn’t know it.
0:57:57 And so my mother was an Italian citizen.
0:57:59 And then when I was born, I was also an Italian citizen.
0:58:01 – Have you run this through chat, TPT?
0:58:04 – No, but I’ve run it through the Consulate in Los Angeles.
0:58:07 – It sounds very like a lot of steps removed.
0:58:10 Can someone grab a bottle opener by chance?
0:58:11 Thank you.
0:58:12 Thanks, Mal.
0:58:13 – Thank you, Mal.
0:58:14 – I think there’s one upstairs for sure.
0:58:16 – You opened one down here, there’s one down here.
0:58:19 – Yeah, so we’re gonna switch to Mall Berry from Bond
0:58:20 which is fantastic.
0:58:23 2007, dude, you’re gonna love this.
0:58:24 – You were cruising through your capital.
0:58:26 – No one, we haven’t seen each other in like a decade.
0:58:28 – I know, it’s not a decade
0:58:31 ’cause we had coffee like two months ago, but yes.
0:58:31 – So what’s–
0:58:33 – But anyway, so the good news
0:58:35 about the Italian citizenship is–
0:58:36 – Are you moving?
0:58:36 Thank you.
0:58:37 – Well–
0:58:38 – Grab yourself a glass.
0:58:41 – The short answer is, I could, right?
0:58:44 Because I would be an Italian, I am an Italian citizen.
0:58:45 – And there’s no more dignitation.
0:58:47 – Well, there hasn’t been a dignitation.
0:58:47 – That’s fair.
0:58:50 – We just found out that it was closed and canceled and dead.
0:58:51 Was that what it said?
0:58:52 – The trademark, yeah.
0:58:53 – Canceled and dead.
0:58:54 – It digs it’s still down.
0:58:55 What the fuck are these guys doing?
0:58:57 – It’s still down.
0:58:58 – Well, maybe they’re building,
0:58:59 maybe they’re building, right?
0:59:03 – No, they should sell it.
0:59:04 – Anyway.
0:59:04 – They should sell to somebody.
0:59:05 I mean–
0:59:07 – I don’t know who anybody that’s interested.
0:59:10 – Anyway, so what are the odds of you moving there?
0:59:12 – Oof.
0:59:17 – I would say before my last trip to Italy,
0:59:21 relatively low, after my last trip to Italy,
0:59:25 I mean, it could be high.
0:59:26 – Ooh.
0:59:27 – It’s fucking great, dude.
0:59:30 I told Heather, we were like sitting in Florence,
0:59:34 drinking wine, it was like in the evening
0:59:36 and people were just milling around
0:59:38 and I was just like, honestly,
0:59:40 what the fuck are you doing to that poor bottle of wine?
0:59:42 – I know, I’m sorry, Will.
0:59:43 Don’t apologize to Will.
0:59:44 Apologize to everybody here
0:59:46 that’s not gonna drink any wine.
0:59:47 – No, I mean, I got to go.
0:59:49 – No, no, that’s not, no.
0:59:50 Give me this, give me this.
0:59:51 Give me this, give me that.
0:59:52 – I mean, you are the guy that–
0:59:53 – I’ve been to Italy.
0:59:54 I’m an Italian citizen.
0:59:55 – Okay.
0:59:59 – Hey, I know how to cork a fucking bottle of whey.
1:00:00 – This is bad.
1:00:01 – This is a good bottle, by the way.
1:00:02 – Well, it was.
1:00:06 Anyway, but I was sitting there with Heather
1:00:08 and I was like, you know what?
1:00:10 Every time I’m in Italy,
1:00:12 it just feels right.
1:00:13 – Just feels right.
1:00:14 – Do you speak Italian?
1:00:15 – Great.
1:00:16 See, no, I don’t.
1:00:18 So next step, you ready for this?
1:00:19 – Yeah.
1:00:20 – We’re gonna not move,
1:00:22 but we’re gonna go to Italy.
1:00:24 We’re gonna go for two months.
1:00:25 We’re gonna bring our dog.
1:00:27 We have a new little dog named Bindi.
1:00:28 We’re gonna bring our dog
1:00:30 and we’re gonna stay for two months
1:00:34 and I’m gonna do an immersive language course.
1:00:35 – That’s cool.
1:00:36 How good are you at second languages?
1:00:39 – Most of them bad.
1:00:42 Italy, I feel like I would be good.
1:00:44 – By the way, Darius speaks Italian.
1:00:45 – Hey, really?
1:00:45 – Yeah.
1:00:46 – Well, come over here
1:00:48 and she can tell me how bad I am.
1:00:50 – Good luck with this one.
1:00:53 – Do you have one of the ones with the,
1:00:54 no, with the two prongs?
1:00:55 – I don’t think so.
1:00:56 We used to have one.
1:00:57 I think we got it kind of moved.
1:00:58 – It got moved.
1:00:59 Oh boy.
1:01:01 – If you can punch through at this point.
1:01:02 – I don’t want to.
1:01:02 That seems bad.
1:01:03 – I feel bad.
1:01:04 This is a fantastic bottle of wine.
1:01:06 Mulberry from Bond.
1:01:07 Oh, are you kidding me?
1:01:08 – We’re going to find out.
1:01:10 – I don’t think you understand what we’re opening here.
1:01:12 – I mean, I don’t, I don’t know.
1:01:13 Opening is the right way to put it.
1:01:16 – It’s my fault because I messed up the.
1:01:18 – You did start it poorly.
1:01:18 – Yeah.
1:01:19 So anyway.
1:01:20 – Ooh, that went through.
1:01:21 – So you’re, you’re.
1:01:22 – Oh yeah.
1:01:23 – When would you do this?
1:01:25 – What?
1:01:26 – When would you do this?
1:01:27 When would you move?
1:01:28 – I’ll push it in.
1:01:29 Sorry Mulberry.
1:01:30 – There we go.
1:01:31 There we go.
1:01:32 – Yeah.
1:01:33 You needed to canter with a filter.
1:01:36 – Parker, can you grab a tea, tea filter?
1:01:37 Tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea.
1:01:39 – We need to draw in the container where they’re at.
1:01:40 – They’re, they’re like a little tea filter
1:01:42 that we pour in the glass.
1:01:43 No, no, it’s got it.
1:01:44 Thank you, thank you, Mal.
1:01:46 – That was horrible.
1:01:46 – All right.
1:01:47 – But also feels good.
1:01:48 Anyway, we’ll see.
1:01:50 But I, the thing, yeah.
1:01:51 – To we’ll both be Europeans.
1:01:52 ‘Cause I’m moving to Copenhagen.
1:01:53 I’m moving to Copenhagen.
1:01:54 – Wait, what?
1:01:55 – Yeah, bring them to Copenhagen.
1:01:56 – No, when?
1:01:58 – Yeah, until next August.
1:02:00 – Holy schnike is.
1:02:02 – I’m in the process of getting my golden visa.
1:02:03 – From New Zealand.
1:02:04 – Where?
1:02:05 – No.
1:02:06 – From Texas.
1:02:07 – What’s the place?
1:02:08 – Portugal.
1:02:09 – Portugal.
1:02:10 – Yeah.
1:02:11 – Portugal.
1:02:11 – Yeah, I’m in the process of getting that.
1:02:12 – That’s great.
1:02:13 – I spent two weeks a year there for the next three years.
1:02:14 – Oh, we talked about that.
1:02:15 – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:02:16 – I’m excited.
1:02:17 – And you do some investment down there and stuff like that.
1:02:18 – Yeah, little investment.
1:02:20 – Is Portugal EU?
1:02:20 – It’s EU.
1:02:21 – So you go wherever.
1:02:22 – So you get access to it wherever, yeah.
1:02:23 Which is gonna be awesome.
1:02:25 – Same thing with Italy.
1:02:26 We should all move to Italy.
1:02:27 Let’s fucking buy a village.
1:02:28 – That’s what I want to do.
1:02:29 So that’s what I’ve decided what we want to do
1:02:32 is we want to get one of those like villages where like half
1:02:35 of the people aren’t like moved away.
1:02:37 And so there’s like places that people aren’t,
1:02:39 but there’s still like the butcher and the market
1:02:40 and the people that live there.
1:02:43 And then we can go and like buy like six of the places.
1:02:45 And then all of our friends can just,
1:02:46 that’s where they’ll retire.
1:02:47 – That’s amazing.
1:02:49 I mean, go do a couple of months trial.
1:02:50 – Oh yeah.
1:02:50 – That’s what you gotta do.
1:02:51 – Yeah, well, I’m gonna go, like I said,
1:02:55 I’m gonna go do two months learning the language.
1:02:56 Let’s see what happens.
1:02:57 – That’s awesome.
1:03:00 – All right, next story, Tesla Boeing.
1:03:03 – It’s crazy.
1:03:05 I, I’ve had three Teslas.
1:03:06 – Mm-hmm.
1:03:10 – And it’s weird to me what has been sort of happening
1:03:12 with the state of Tesla.
1:03:13 – I just got rid of my last one.
1:03:14 – Yeah.
1:03:15 – I have one, I got rid of my other one.
1:03:16 – Oh, do you have a rigging?
1:03:17 Did you get a rigging?
1:03:18 – Yeah.
1:03:19 – They’re great, right?
1:03:19 – I love it.
1:03:20 – They’re super cool.
1:03:21 – It’s great.
1:03:22 It still has some problems though.
1:03:23 – Of course, everything does.
1:03:24 – Yeah, not everything, but yeah.
1:03:24 – Not everything.
1:03:25 I will say though, the thing for me,
1:03:28 is I’ve always been very comfortable with flying.
1:03:31 Was getting my pilot’s license, like that was a big thing.
1:03:32 You, the opposite.
1:03:33 – Oh, Jesus.
1:03:34 – Oh my God.
1:03:35 – Okay.
1:03:38 – First off, is this the grinder of decanters?
1:03:41 (laughing)
1:03:42 – I did buy-
1:03:43 – Why would you buy that?
1:03:44 Don’t hold it like that.
1:03:45 I’ll hold it like that.
1:03:47 – I bought this on grinder
1:03:50 when they were having a discount sale.
1:03:51 – Is this supposed to be a snake?
1:03:52 – It’s a snake.
1:03:54 – It’s a snake.
1:03:55 – Listen, I bought this like literally ten years ago.
1:03:56 – Listen up, what is happening?
1:03:57 What is happening, guys?
1:04:00 Don’t do this over a white couch.
1:04:00 What are we-
1:04:01 – You have a decanter back there.
1:04:02 That’s the only one I saw.
1:04:03 – This is-
1:04:05 – No, this feels like the wrong way to do this.
1:04:06 – ‘Cause you go this way,
1:04:09 and then you pour out the-
1:04:11 – Wait, you fill it, and then you filter?
1:04:12 – On the way out.
1:04:12 – On the way out.
1:04:13 – Yeah.
1:04:16 – I feel like this is, first off, the noise is weird.
1:04:16 – I love the sound.
1:04:17 (laughing)
1:04:19 – That is the noise of a grinder.
1:04:21 – It’s a good sound.
1:04:22 – Baby, baby, baby, baby.
1:04:23 – Do you hear that?
1:04:24 (tongue clicking)
1:04:27 – Yeah, that isn’t a hidden nap.
1:04:28 I don’t know what it is.
1:04:29 (laughing)
1:04:30 – All right, so let’s keep going.
1:04:31 – Wait, where does the wine go?
1:04:33 – It goes all the way down the snake.
1:04:34 – Oh, God.
1:04:36 – I’ll show you everyone when it’s fully-
1:04:37 – Is it like-
1:04:39 – It looks like an Urro Burros.
1:04:40 – It’s releasing its juice.
1:04:42 – Oh, there’s so much more juice in there.
1:04:45 Oh, no, now you’ve got gravity issues.
1:04:46 – Oh, I got it.
1:04:48 – No, it’s the cork is now hindering.
1:04:50 – Look at the bottom, though.
1:04:52 Look at the bottom filling up.
1:04:52 The snake’s filling.
1:04:53 – There’s a lot of cork in that bottom.
1:04:54 I’m not gonna lie to you.
1:04:56 Does it go all the way to the tip?
1:04:57 (laughing)
1:04:59 Don’t be a serious question.
1:05:01 – Wait, hold on, let me go ahead to the tip.
1:05:02 The tip is hollow.
1:05:03 – Who gave you this?
1:05:04 – I don’t know, I got it as a gift.
1:05:05 – Oh, you chose?
1:05:06 Okay, good, I was gonna say.
1:05:07 – No, it was a gift.
1:05:07 – Did you choose to?
1:05:10 – It is a gift, but it is beautiful.
1:05:12 It’s very hard to clean.
1:05:14 (laughing)
1:05:16 Okay, keep going with your story, though.
1:05:17 I can do this all day.
1:05:19 – No, no, I can’t.
1:05:20 This is mesmerizing.
1:05:22 – Okay, so what happened with Tesla and Boeing?
1:05:26 You feel that they’re not living up to their promise?
1:05:30 – No, so I’ve always been perfectly fine flying.
1:05:32 You know, oh, that was weird.
1:05:33 – Yeah, that was the last one.
1:05:34 – Right at the end.
1:05:35 (laughing)
1:05:36 – Just got it all out.
1:05:37 – All right, all right.
1:05:38 – There we go.
1:05:39 – That’s great.
1:05:39 – Okay.
1:05:43 – Don’t, that sounds like a toilet.
1:05:44 – Dude, this is amazing.
1:05:46 – That sounds like a fucking toilet.
1:05:47 – No, it does not.
1:05:49 First of all, this is a very–
1:05:50 – God damn.
1:05:54 – I feel like this is like a hobbit bong
1:05:56 that’s just like, it’s like a wizard
1:05:58 from the hobbit TV show.
1:06:00 That’s just like, this is fine.
1:06:01 Everything’s fine here.
1:06:03 Oh my God, the sound.
1:06:04 The sound is not good.
1:06:06 – Wait till you try this juice.
1:06:06 You’re gonna die.
1:06:08 – I don’t wanna try juice out of that bong.
1:06:10 – Give me your cup.
1:06:11 – I’m still full of juice.
1:06:12 – Well, you gotta finish that first.
1:06:13 – Okay, here, here, here.
1:06:14 Let’s do this, let’s do this.
1:06:15 Here we go, here we go.
1:06:16 – All right.
1:06:18 – Okay, set that on my keyboard.
1:06:21 – Okay, Jesus Christ.
1:06:22 Okay.
1:06:23 – Oh my God.
1:06:24 – This is gonna end in my wiping past of me.
1:06:27 – I was like, how is she letting us do this?
1:06:28 First of all, rotate, rotate.
1:06:30 – You gotta rotate to get a little poor.
1:06:32 And then watch, this is how you gotta do it.
1:06:35 Now, another rotate, and then pour.
1:06:38 – That is literally not how you’re supposed to do that.
1:06:39 Prager.
1:06:40 – Prager.
1:06:42 – Don’t make it seem like it’s doing it right.
1:06:44 – Grab that, grab that, grab that.
1:06:45 Okay, that’s my keyboard.
1:06:46 Okay, there we go.
1:06:48 All right, I have both now.
1:06:50 Let me see which one is better.
1:06:52 Oh, it’s got a funk to it.
1:06:54 – No, bond, this is a fantastic bond.
1:06:57 – Oh, it’s got like a salami thing, I love this.
1:07:00 – This is a 2007 Melbury bond,
1:07:03 which is honestly bond is some of my favorite wine.
1:07:05 – Oh, that’s skunked.
1:07:06 – No, it’s not.
1:07:07 – Ooh.
1:07:08 – That’s your shit.
1:07:09 – That’s better.
1:07:10 – That’s your shit.
1:07:10 – That’s better.
1:07:12 – Oh God, that is smooth.
1:07:13 – Yeah, that’s good.
1:07:15 It’s 2007 though, it’s a lot younger
1:07:17 than what we were drinking on the other side, so.
1:07:18 – Holder.
1:07:19 – Sorry you’re low, Holder.
1:07:21 All right, so tell me what we’re doing.
1:07:24 – Okay, so I’m perfectly fine, I’m perfectly fine flying.
1:07:27 I was getting my pilot’s license,
1:07:30 like I’m flying myself stuff, I like flying.
1:07:31 – Yeah.
1:07:33 – The shit that’s going on with Boeing.
1:07:34 – Oh my God.
1:07:37 – Is really concerned, it is now to a point where
1:07:42 I check to see what kind of airplane I’m flying.
1:07:47 – I just booked Alaska to fly to Austin.
1:07:49 I was going out there to interview Ryan Holiday,
1:07:51 he was an awesome guy.
1:07:54 And they put me on a fucking Boeing Max.
1:07:56 – Oh, the 737 Max?
1:07:58 That’s the one where the engines fly off and people die.
1:08:00 – I wasn’t drinking.
1:08:01 – Yes.
1:08:03 – And then I just had to drink.
1:08:04 – I get that, dude.
1:08:06 – Because I was gonna die.
1:08:08 Mal doesn’t know how to pour this.
1:08:09 – Nobody knows how to pour it.
1:08:10 – Like grinder.
1:08:11 – Swish.
1:08:11 – Like in a circle.
1:08:14 – Swish, and then once it’s in the main shaft,
1:08:15 you’re ready to pour it down.
1:08:16 There you go.
1:08:17 – Yeah, just get it in the main shaft.
1:08:19 – Yeah, you gotta fill the shaft and then pour.
1:08:20 – And then release.
1:08:22 – There it is, shaft and release.
1:08:24 Just like you’re hunting animals.
1:08:26 But so when we went to,
1:08:29 I just got back from Serbia and Italy.
1:08:32 And when we went, we flew out on,
1:08:34 I think it was an Airbus.
1:08:35 – A through 20.
1:08:37 – A through 20, I can’t remember what we flew out on.
1:08:38 – It was a standard Airbus.
1:08:39 – No, no, no, but we were doing international.
1:08:42 So a bigger one, A through 60.
1:08:44 But when we came back,
1:08:47 we came back on an Airbus A380.
1:08:48 – Oh, who cares about that?
1:08:51 – No, but it was a, I’ve never been on one of those.
1:08:52 – They’re great.
1:08:53 – It’s a fucking double decker plane.
1:08:54 – Yeah, I love that.
1:08:55 – It was crazy, dude.
1:08:56 I was like, how is there,
1:08:59 there’s a whole row of economy underneath our fucking feet.
1:09:01 – And then it takes forever to take off.
1:09:02 You’re like, come on.
1:09:03 – Oh, yeah, of course.
1:09:03 Of course, yeah, yeah.
1:09:04 – ‘Cause you’re like going down the runway,
1:09:05 you’re like, come on, fucking lift.
1:09:08 And then finally the last second of this, yeah.
1:09:09 – But then once you’re in the air.
1:09:10 – Yeah, that’s great.
1:09:11 – Smooth as a pill.
1:09:13 This is huge. – I fucking love that thing, man.
1:09:14 But again, I was like,
1:09:17 that could have been a 777 or God forbid, a Dreamliner.
1:09:18 And I would have been a killer.
1:09:19 – I love your Dreamliners.
1:09:20 – That’s a Boeing, man.
1:09:21 – They’ve never had any issues.
1:09:22 – Oh, of course they have.
1:09:23 They caught fire.
1:09:24 – They had some battery stuff in the early days,
1:09:26 but they’re fine.
1:09:28 – Bro, if you know anything about what’s going on, Boeing.
1:09:29 – How are you?
1:09:30 – It’s not that I’m not gonna fly Boeing.
1:09:31 – I’m a little scared of flying.
1:09:34 – But Boeing has like really,
1:09:36 they basically were like all about the money,
1:09:38 not caring about quality.
1:09:40 And then the fucking whistleblowers at Boeing
1:09:41 have been dying.
1:09:42 – What?
1:09:43 – Three of them have died.
1:09:43 – Shut up.
1:09:47 – All three of these whistleblowers at Boeing have died.
1:09:48 – They should’ve said some bullshit.
1:09:49 – No, look at that.
1:09:50 Fucking Google it.
1:09:51 – Well, suicide, you gave this effort,
1:09:52 you gave it to me on 60 minutes.
1:09:53 – And he literally said,
1:09:55 I will never commit suicide.
1:09:58 If I die by suicide, it is fucking Boeing.
1:09:59 – Shut up.
1:10:00 – 100%.
1:10:01 100%.
1:10:05 – Two dead third whistleblower lives in terror.
1:10:06 – Dude, I’m saying.
1:10:07 – Holy shit, is this for real?
1:10:09 – And that third one might be dead.
1:10:13 – Boeing faces Tim or we’re supposed to have two die.
1:10:14 – Yeah.
1:10:15 – What the fuck is going on?
1:10:20 – There’s a whole documentary about the 737 Max
1:10:21 that’s on Netflix, it’s called like,
1:10:24 do you remember what the documentary is on?
1:10:25 Netflix.
1:10:27 – Dude, I had no idea this was going on.
1:10:30 – Watch this Boeing doc, you’ll never fly Boeing again.
1:10:31 – Are you serious?
1:10:31 – Oh dude, it’s like–
1:10:33 – ‘Cause Boeing was like the shit back in the day.
1:10:35 – Yeah, it’s called downfall, the case against Boeing.
1:10:37 – I hate the even word.
1:10:38 – Start a liner though.
1:10:39 – I don’t care.
1:10:41 – I know, but still, but they launched it
1:10:43 after three failed attempts.
1:10:45 I’m telling you dude, I know you don’t like to fly.
1:10:46 – Yeah.
1:10:48 – This will make you even less likely to fly.
1:10:49 – Thank you. – So maybe don’t watch it.
1:10:51 – I want to watch it, ’cause I don’t want to fly Boeing.
1:10:52 – This is what I’m saying.
1:10:55 And Boeing was fucking, it’s fucking Boeing.
1:10:58 It’s like the aerospace industry,
1:10:59 ’cause it’s Airbus, which is France,
1:11:01 and Boeing, which is the United States.
1:11:03 And so it was always like, whenever I would fly,
1:11:05 it was like, I want to be on the fucking US, the Boeing.
1:11:09 It’s like fucking, and my dad used to work at Lockheed Martin,
1:11:11 and it’s like all those aerospace companies
1:11:14 from the ’70s and ’60s and ’80s were like my,
1:11:16 like I always aspired to them.
1:11:18 I was like, these are the fucking engineers
1:11:19 of the United States.
1:11:21 – Why did you put Tesla on this story?
1:11:24 You said it on the shared documents with Tesla.
1:11:26 – It’s less about the engineering stuff
1:11:27 on the Tesla side.
1:11:32 It just feels like Tesla’s in a little bit of a wane.
1:11:34 You know what I mean?
1:11:37 Like, when Tesla came out with the Model S,
1:11:39 or well, when Tesla came out with the Roadster,
1:11:41 I was like, this is fucking cool.
1:11:42 I did what’s going on here.
1:11:44 You know, we’re both friends with Jason Calcanis.
1:11:47 He had, you know, number three or whatever the fuck.
1:11:48 – Number one.
1:11:49 – It was either one, two, or three.
1:11:52 But it was like, I remember going on his podcast
1:11:54 way back in the day, and it was parked outside,
1:11:55 and he took me on a ride with it.
1:11:56 And I was like, this is fucking great.
1:11:59 Like, this is an electric car, this is crazy.
1:12:02 Then the S came out, and Mikey, Mike Gaines,
1:12:05 who was the Prager for Totally Rad Show,
1:12:07 he got one of the first Model S’s,
1:12:08 took us around, and I was like,
1:12:09 this is a fucking great car.
1:12:11 – Prager got one of the first Model S’s too.
1:12:11 – Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:12:14 And we were like, this is cool.
1:12:16 – Do you know if he had invested that money into Tesla?
1:12:17 He’d have $5 million right now.
1:12:18 – Of course, of course.
1:12:19 But that’s everybody.
1:12:20 That’s everything.
1:12:21 – Yeah.
1:12:22 – I could have gotten the game.
1:12:23 – But the smart people said that you wouldn’t have
1:12:26 furthered the capability of the car to be sold.
1:12:29 – You should have put half your money into buying a car,
1:12:32 and half the money into supporting, into supporting stock.
1:12:34 – Because you supported the company
1:12:35 to get it off the ground.
1:12:38 – If everybody did not buy the car and invested,
1:12:39 they wouldn’t have made any money.
1:12:40 You know what I mean?
1:12:41 – But the Prager would have done it.
1:12:42 – The Prager would have done it.
1:12:43 – $5 million, yeah.
1:12:44 – It’s tough.
1:12:46 I have a ton of stories like that Prager, no offense.
1:12:48 – But so, why would he take offense to that?
1:12:49 Everybody has stories like that.
1:12:51 – It’s a lot of money, it’s a lot of money.
1:12:52 – I know, I know.
1:12:54 – I’ve got some, like the Uber one,
1:12:55 and some of the other stuff.
1:12:56 – Yeah, yeah, let’s get some of those stories.
1:12:58 – So anyway, so I got an S when it first came out,
1:12:59 the best car I’ve ever driven,
1:13:01 and I did not want an electric car.
1:13:02 – You were a big BMW guy for a long time.
1:13:05 – I was a huge BMW guy, and it was my buddy,
1:13:07 I was like, I fucking love BMWs.
1:13:09 I have had like three or four.
1:13:12 We, by the way, Heather now has an electric BMW.
1:13:12 – Oh shit, which one?
1:13:14 – The i4-M50.
1:13:16 – It’s like, I don’t know what that means.
1:13:17 – It’s a nice, it’s a nice one.
1:13:18 – It’s like an SUV?
1:13:19 – No, no, no, it’s a sports car.
1:13:20 – Oh cool.
1:13:22 – It’s a four door sports car, it’s fucking great.
1:13:25 Anyway, love BMW, but I was like, I don’t like their tech.
1:13:26 And so I was talking to a buddy of mine,
1:13:28 and I was like, I just don’t like their tech.
1:13:28 And they were like, well,
1:13:30 if you want tech in your car, get a Tesla.
1:13:31 And I was like, I don’t want a fucking electric car.
1:13:32 Well, who wants an electric car?
1:13:33 – I do.
1:13:36 – At the time, I was like, and then I was like,
1:13:38 he was like, well, just go test drive it.
1:13:38 So I was like, all right.
1:13:41 And so I went and tested it over the S,
1:13:43 and I was like, this is the best car I’ve ever been in.
1:13:47 Got an S, then I got a three, then I got a Y,
1:13:48 and I was like, these are fucking great.
1:13:50 And then Cybertruck was announced,
1:13:51 and I was like, I love it, it’s crazy.
1:13:52 Put down my money.
1:13:54 – So did I.
1:13:59 – Weirdly now, it feels like when I see a Cybertruck,
1:14:02 I’m like, that’s a fucking douchebag, weirdo.
1:14:03 Like, what the fuck.
1:14:04 – Why is it like that?
1:14:05 – I don’t know.
1:14:09 And then also I’m like, do I wanna support Tesla?
1:14:11 Like Elon fucking went crazy.
1:14:12 I don’t know what happened to him.
1:14:13 – I canceled my ex.
1:14:15 – He was like tech Jesus.
1:14:16 – Yeah, he was tech Jesus.
1:14:17 – He was tech Jesus, and then he just fucking went off
1:14:18 the rails and was like, what is happening?
1:14:20 And it’s okay, if you wanna go off the rails,
1:14:21 go off the rails, that’s fine.
1:14:26 But like, it just feels like I’m not as excited
1:14:30 as I was about that company,
1:14:33 as I was when I first got my Tesla.
1:14:36 And it sucks because like, this is the other thing.
1:14:38 The thing I kept saying about Tesla,
1:14:41 the infrastructure, the supercharging,
1:14:42 that is the killer. – But then they fucking killed it.
1:14:44 – Then they fired all the fucking supercharging people
1:14:45 and stopped investing in supercharging.
1:14:48 And I went, well then why do I have a fucking Tesla?
1:14:50 Like that was the thing, that was, I always told Heather,
1:14:53 I was like, we are gonna have a Tesla for life
1:14:55 because of the supercharging infrastructure.
1:14:57 We’ll be able to drive anywhere and not have to worry about it.
1:15:00 And then the other car will just be any car we want
1:15:02 that’s a great electric car.
1:15:05 Her I-4 is just as good,
1:15:09 if not better in certain situations as my Model Y.
1:15:12 – But I just don’t, with the Tesla supercharging
1:15:14 infrastructure, that was their chance
1:15:15 to be the gas station in the future.
1:15:16 – 100%.
1:15:17 – And they started it.
1:15:18 – And they started it.
1:15:19 – But they started it when they started
1:15:20 letting everybody else in.
1:15:21 – Rivian now.
1:15:22 – I know Rivian’s got theirs. – They signed a deal
1:15:24 with Tesla. – Yeah.
1:15:25 – And you can use their charging.
1:15:27 – I’m sure Tesla gets a little cut there.
1:15:28 – Of course.
1:15:30 – And it’s like, why didn’t they just
1:15:31 continue to expand that?
1:15:32 It’s so confusing.
1:15:34 – So the news came out that what happened was,
1:15:37 Elon went to the head of supercharging and said,
1:15:41 you need to cut 25% of your people.
1:15:43 Just arbitrary, that’s what he wanted.
1:15:44 – Why does he do that?
1:15:46 – And that person said, no, I’m not gonna do that
1:15:49 because this is a good idea and it’s making money.
1:15:52 And because she said that, he fired the entire division.
1:15:53 – Oh, God.
1:15:55 – And that’s where I go.
1:16:00 I like the like, you know, innovate fast and break early
1:16:04 and make things like, I like that when you’re a startup.
1:16:06 You’re not that startup anymore.
1:16:07 – I know, it’s hard.
1:16:10 – And it’s not just the like shareholders,
1:16:11 like screw the shareholders.
1:16:13 Like if you do right, they’ll make money.
1:16:15 Like don’t worry about them, in my opinion.
1:16:18 But you can’t go in and say, cut 25%
1:16:21 of the workforce because I just want to
1:16:23 and have the person who’s running it say,
1:16:25 that’s not a good idea, here’s the reasons why,
1:16:28 and then fire everybody because guess what?
1:16:32 Now, people like me go, if you’re not supporting
1:16:35 the infrastructure, that’s why I’m buying the car.
1:16:38 I mean, that’s a good portion of why I’m buying a car.
1:16:40 That’s a good portion is why my next car
1:16:42 was going to be a Tesla.
1:16:43 – Yeah.
1:16:45 – And now, I don’t know.
1:16:47 I don’t know if my next car is gonna be a Tesla.
1:16:49 My next car will be an electric car
1:16:52 because I think they’re more fun to drive.
1:16:54 I don’t, you know, it’s not like
1:16:56 about the environment as much as it’s,
1:16:58 I don’t want to fucking go to a gas station.
1:17:00 I don’t want to fucking, as Heather said,
1:17:01 when I first got my Tesla, I was,
1:17:02 ’cause I got free super charging.
1:17:03 – Yeah.
1:17:05 – I would literally drive to,
1:17:07 I would drive to Burbank.
1:17:07 – Yeah.
1:17:10 – To charge for free rather than charging home.
1:17:11 – You should have kept that Tesla, by the way.
1:17:15 – Well, I have an account that if I buy an S or an X
1:17:17 for the lifetime of my account,
1:17:19 I get free super charging.
1:17:20 ‘Cause they were doing this crazy thing
1:17:22 when I bought my S. – Oh, shit.
1:17:24 – But Heather was like, why are you,
1:17:25 she blew her mind.
1:17:27 She was like, why are you driving to fucking Burbank?
1:17:29 You’re driving so far out of your way.
1:17:30 Jessie, and I was like, it’s free.
1:17:31 It’s fucking free.
1:17:32 – Yeah, it’s free.
1:17:32 – It’s free.
1:17:35 And she goes, I would pay someone twice
1:17:37 what it costs to go to a gas station
1:17:40 if they would fill up my car with gas overnight.
1:17:42 And I didn’t have to ever go to a gas station.
1:17:47 And that’s when I went, oh, that does sound nice.
1:17:48 – Yeah.
1:17:49 – And then we installed a Tesla super,
1:17:52 or a Tesla charger charging station in the house,
1:17:54 and we’d never look back.
1:17:57 ‘Cause it’s like, what the fuck do I want to go to gas station?
1:17:59 – I know, once you get one of those chargers to your house,
1:18:01 I got a Rivian and a Tesla charger down.
1:18:02 – It’s so nice.
1:18:04 – It’s just, you never have to think about gas again.
1:18:06 – And by the way, you get an adapter
1:18:09 and we plug her BMW into the Tesla charger.
1:18:12 And it’s easy, which is overnight chargers went on it.
1:18:14 And it’s so funny, you like change your relationship
1:18:16 with fuel, I guess.
1:18:18 – How you put it, like.
1:18:19 – What do you think about Elon?
1:18:20 What do you think happened?
1:18:23 – Oh man, I don’t know.
1:18:26 I mean, I don’t know.
1:18:28 – No one speaks truth to power and I think.
1:18:30 – I think that’s definitely part of it.
1:18:32 – One of his, they did this whole thing where they,
1:18:33 was the DOJ, I can’t remember who it was,
1:18:36 that subpoenaed all of his text messages
1:18:38 and they released them to the public.
1:18:42 And it was a bunch of people that were just like kissing
1:18:45 his ass non-stop, like, we got your back Elon,
1:18:49 blah, blah, this bullshit, and no one was like,
1:18:51 dude, Elon, step the back up and fuck up.
1:18:53 – Bro, you’re fucking this up.
1:18:55 – Nobody talks to the power.
1:18:58 – So it’s ego money and power, probably.
1:18:59 Ego money and power.
1:19:00 And then like what you said when he fired all those people
1:19:03 was cutting his nose off to spy his face.
1:19:04 And he did the same thing with Twitter.
1:19:05 He didn’t want to buy Twitter at the end.
1:19:06 – Yeah, he did.
1:19:08 – He got stuffed into it.
1:19:09 – It’s true, he didn’t want to buy Twitter.
1:19:12 And he’s not the right kind of person to kind of run Twitter.
1:19:13 – Not even close.
1:19:15 – You have to be kind of empathetic.
1:19:18 He wants to solve things with machines.
1:19:22 It’s way too much of an emotional engine in the ecosystem
1:19:24 to like, you know, just solve it with just math.
1:19:26 – I’m also like changing the name to X.
1:19:29 Like, it’s such a weird move.
1:19:30 – It’s really weird.
1:19:31 – And it’s such a weird, well, did you hear it?
1:19:33 So one of the stories that came out was that he had wanted
1:19:35 to change the name of PayPal to X?
1:19:36 – Yes.
1:19:38 – But that’s how long he’s had X.com.
1:19:39 – Oh yeah.
1:19:43 – And everybody was like, no, no, we have a brand.
1:19:44 You know what I mean?
1:19:45 He killed the brand.
1:19:47 – You guys did a live-dignation that PayPal paid for
1:19:49 on the stage at their PayPal X conference on,
1:19:51 you did it and you put the couch on the X.
1:19:54 – Interesting.
1:19:55 – The PayPal conference was called X.
1:19:56 – Did you not fight Prager?
1:19:57 – What’d you say?
1:20:01 – It was called the PayPal X conference?
1:20:03 – Yeah, and we put the couch on the middle of the X
1:20:04 that had to be influenced by Elon.
1:20:06 I just thought it, I just remember it right now.
1:20:07 – Oh yeah, I thought about that.
1:20:08 – But we did the show there.
1:20:09 – That’s crazy.
1:20:09 – Interesting.
1:20:11 – Did PayPal pay us?
1:20:12 – Yeah.
1:20:13 – Did PayPal pay us?
1:20:13 – PayPal paid us.
1:20:14 – PayPal, citizens.
1:20:16 – PayPal was kind of weird.
1:20:18 – We get to pay them then from PayPal?
1:20:19 – Really?
1:20:20 – Anyway.
1:20:23 – All right, what’s the last story of the day?
1:20:25 – Oh God, this is gonna be the last story of the day.
1:20:27 – I mean, you put it in there.
1:20:28 What is that?
1:20:29 I don’t know what that means.
1:20:32 – So I thought this would be a great opportunity
1:20:37 to apologize to all of the fans
1:20:40 at all of the live-dignation events,
1:20:41 actually all of them,
1:20:44 because this happened post-dignation.
1:20:45 – You weren’t wearing deodorant?
1:20:47 – If I ever, no, I was wearing so much deodorant.
1:20:51 If I ever put my arm around you to take a picture
1:20:56 and my armpit was a swamp and disgusting.
1:21:00 Because here’s the thing.
1:21:01 – I don’t even know what you’re talking about right now.
1:21:05 – I have always, all through my life, my armpit sweat.
1:21:07 Even remember when we started doing the speech?
1:21:07 – Oh, that’s what you were gonna say?
1:21:08 – No, they’re not.
1:21:09 And this is why I was gonna say.
1:21:10 – Do I have any armpit?
1:21:12 – They’re warm, but no, no, no, fine, yeah.
1:21:13 – Okay, I’m good.
1:21:15 – But they’re warm as a normal human would be
1:21:16 after doing all this drinking.
1:21:17 – Yeah, I’m a little warm, yeah.
1:21:20 – But nothing, and maybe damp, if anything.
1:21:22 – Yeah, like a little bit of moisture.
1:21:23 – Moisture.
1:21:26 When we started doing the screensavers.
1:21:28 – Yeah, oh my God, yeah.
1:21:31 – I came in and I was like,
1:21:32 this is not cold enough for me.
1:21:33 I don’t even know.
1:21:35 I mean, you might have known some of this.
1:21:38 I walked in the first day we started doing rehearsals
1:21:40 in the screensavers and I went to the stage manager, Andy,
1:21:43 and I was like, Andy, is there air conditioning in here?
1:21:44 And he was like, yeah, yeah, it’s going.
1:21:46 And I was like, is this as cold as it gets?
1:21:48 And he was like, oh, is it not cold enough?
1:21:51 I was like, oh yeah, let’s get it as cold as it can get.
1:21:53 And he goes, oh, okay, cool, cool, cool.
1:21:55 The next day I walk in and I go,
1:21:57 so Andy, did you not change the air conditioning?
1:21:58 And he goes, what?
1:21:59 No, we turned it down.
1:22:01 I was like, so this is as cold as it gets.
1:22:03 And he goes, well, no, it can get colder.
1:22:06 And I was like, yeah, let’s get it as cold as it can get.
1:22:07 I did that for a week.
1:22:10 On the fifth day I showed up
1:22:15 and all the camera ops were wearing winter parkas,
1:22:18 like fur lined winter parkas.
1:22:21 And did for the rest of the run of the time I was there,
1:22:23 they might have turned it up after I left.
1:22:28 And the answer was, and it’s funny, I told Jeff this,
1:22:32 my pits sweat no matter what at the time.
1:22:34 My pits sweat no matter what.
1:22:38 If I’m hot, they will sweat worse.
1:22:39 If I’m cold, they will sweat less,
1:22:41 but they’ll still sweat, right?
1:22:43 Years went through it.
1:22:46 My first gig, my first big acting commercial gig
1:22:48 is I booked a bunch of a series of Dell commercials
1:22:49 way back in the day.
1:22:50 I was like fucking 20.
1:22:51 – You almost were the Dell guy.
1:22:54 – Well, I was in a series right between the Dell guy
1:22:56 and the interns.
1:22:58 I did like eight Dell commercials.
1:22:59 And they were really fun.
1:23:02 They had me in a gray t-shirt.
1:23:03 – Oh boy.
1:23:05 – And after the first take, they were like,
1:23:06 wow, wash, wash, wash, wash, wash, wash.
1:23:10 And in between every take, I had to take my shirt off
1:23:13 and the costume department would literally blow dry
1:23:17 the pits because gray and sweaty pits, not good.
1:23:18 And I was just–
1:23:19 – Could they put tissues underneath your arms?
1:23:22 – So a couple of things we learned, long time.
1:23:24 Actually, Kevin Pereira was the one that told me about this,
1:23:29 was I put, when I started doing live stuff for BlizzCon,
1:23:30 they would put–
1:23:30 – Camp bombs.
1:23:33 – Yeah, well, like maxi pads.
1:23:34 – Maxi? – Literally maxi pads.
1:23:38 And at the end of the day, bro, those were fucking disgusting.
1:23:39 You would literally pull them out,
1:23:42 they’d be like five pound maxi pads.
1:23:44 – Jeez.
1:23:44 – Anyway.
1:23:46 – She’s like way to sweat.
1:23:48 – Yeah, so I’m talking to a buddy of mine
1:23:50 who’s also a performer and we’re talking about it.
1:23:52 And he was like, dude, I’m thinking about
1:23:54 getting Botox in my pits.
1:23:55 And I was like, oh, what?
1:23:55 – Oh, you got Botox in your pits?
1:23:57 – Well, I was like, what do you mean Botox in your pits?
1:24:00 And he was like, yeah, so you can get Botox in your pits
1:24:01 and they’ll stop sweating.
1:24:02 – Did you get that?
1:24:04 – And I was like, there’s no way that’s a thing.
1:24:05 And he was like, it’s a thing.
1:24:07 And then he got it.
1:24:09 And he was like, dude, it’s fucking life changing.
1:24:10 And I was like, what?
1:24:15 So I went five years ago and I got Botox in my pits.
1:24:16 First off, painful.
1:24:19 – Yeah, but like no wrinkles.
1:24:20 – I don’t think anybody really worries
1:24:21 about the pit wrinkles.
1:24:24 But I will tell you, they said like,
1:24:27 you’ll have to come back every year and get Botox again.
1:24:28 And I was like, that’s cool, whatever.
1:24:30 I have never gone back.
1:24:32 – That’s worked.
1:24:37 Dude, you don’t, unless it’s a thing that happens to you,
1:24:41 you do not realize how much you think.
1:24:42 My entire wardrobe was black.
1:24:44 – Why did you pick this as the last story?
1:24:46 – Well, I didn’t know it was gonna be the last story.
1:24:46 I just threw it in there.
1:24:47 Cause I was like, this is interesting.
1:24:48 We should talk about it.
1:24:50 My entire wardrobe was black.
1:24:51 – Yeah.
1:24:55 – I used to wear hoodies, always wore hoodies.
1:24:57 Even if it was hot, I would wear a hoodie
1:24:59 because it has to get through the shirt.
1:25:00 And then it has to get through the hoodie,
1:25:03 which is hard, like go back to all the Dignation live shows.
1:25:04 Never wearing a T-shirt.
1:25:05 – Really?
1:25:06 – Fuck no.
1:25:08 Always had a hoodie, always had something on.
1:25:09 – I never noticed that.
1:25:10 – 100%.
1:25:11 – When did she just put the…
1:25:13 – Cause I didn’t know at the time we were doing Dignation.
1:25:15 I never, what would I think to put fucking maxi pads?
1:25:17 It was just how it worked.
1:25:19 But when I would put my arm around people.
1:25:20 – Oh, you would swample.
1:25:22 – After the show, it was like, fuck it.
1:25:23 I could normally tell it was bad.
1:25:25 No, it was just wet.
1:25:26 – Oh, they’re fine then.
1:25:28 – Dude, they’re probably hammered to you though.
1:25:30 – I mean, that’s the good news is everybody was like,
1:25:31 oh, I have an apology.
1:25:34 – But I will tell you, I’ve not gone back to do thing.
1:25:36 And like, this is like, this would be fucking,
1:25:39 this entire thing would be wet.
1:25:40 – You got a little bit of wet there.
1:25:42 – Of course, but that’s normal human lights
1:25:43 and stuff like that.
1:25:46 But like, this would be fucking full on up here around.
1:25:48 – Do you use antiperspirant?
1:25:48 – Of course.
1:25:50 Well, no, I used to.
1:25:51 Now I just use deodorant.
1:25:53 – What kind of deodorant?
1:25:54 – Fuck whatever.
1:25:55 – Okay.
1:25:57 – I have a pitch.
1:25:59 Do you have a brand name?
1:26:01 – Yeah, I do have one apology to make though.
1:26:02 – Oh.
1:26:04 – And so this is my apology to people.
1:26:06 While you were putting their arm around
1:26:08 people after the show.
1:26:09 – Yes.
1:26:11 – When we did Stubbs in Austin.
1:26:13 – Which we did a bunch at a specific time?
1:26:14 – The last one that we did.
1:26:15 – Okay.
1:26:17 – I got really hammered, okay?
1:26:18 – Okay.
1:26:20 – And we had posters.
1:26:21 You remember we had posters?
1:26:23 – I mean, I remember that we had posters for shows.
1:26:26 – Do you remember we’d go out and sign them afterwards?
1:26:28 – Yes, yes.
1:26:31 – I would always draw a penis pointing at your name
1:26:32 after you would sign it.
1:26:33 – Like my name?
1:26:34 – Yeah, I know, I’m sorry.
1:26:35 – A penis?
1:26:37 – I did that like a thousand times.
1:26:38 (laughing)
1:26:40 – Can you probably find a picture of one of them online?
1:26:41 Some fans posted it.
1:26:43 – Oh my God, that’s amazing!
1:26:44 – I would just be like–
1:26:45 – Wait, would we always–
1:26:46 – About penis?
1:26:48 – We would always sign it in that order?
1:26:50 – Yeah, for some reason you were ahead of me in the line
1:26:51 and you were signing and I’m like–
1:26:53 – Oh, and that one Stubbs?
1:26:54 – Yeah, and I was just like–
1:26:55 – Oh my God.
1:26:57 – There is literally a thousand posters
1:26:59 of me doing cock drawings on them all.
1:27:00 – That’s fucking amazing.
1:27:01 – And I feel so bad.
1:27:02 – Hi, I didn’t even notice.
1:27:05 – Remember we kept the next day just being like,
1:27:07 why didn’t I draw so many cocks?
1:27:09 I just didn’t even, I don’t even know why I did it.
1:27:10 – Oh, that’s amazing!
1:27:11 – It was just like, I mean,
1:27:13 it’s something you do when you’re younger, I guess.
1:27:15 – I mean, I don’t know, look at that decanter.
1:27:17 (laughing)
1:27:18 I seem to sense a theme.
1:27:20 – Listen, it was 40% off at Grindr.
1:27:22 I don’t even remember.
1:27:23 – Oh, was that the live Grindr shop?
1:27:25 – Oh yeah, 100%.
1:27:26 – Oh my God, that’s amazing.
1:27:27 – All right.
1:27:28 – I think that’s it.
1:27:29 – I think we did it.
1:27:30 – The sponsors.
1:27:30 – The sponsors.
1:27:31 – Yeah.
1:27:33 Jack Threads, wasn’t that one that we did?
1:27:34 – Who’s Grindr?
1:27:37 – Oh my God, Grindr needs a sponsor.
1:27:39 – Hey, if you want to sponsor us, let’s do it.
1:27:40 – This was really fun.
1:27:41 I mean, it’s always fun, it was always fun.
1:27:42 – It was always fun.
1:27:43 I miss you, brother.
