they're SPEAKER_21: like oh my god there's not nuclear stuff and now yeah it turns out there's nuclear stuff i just like i SPEAKER_23: can't keep up with this it's just the swings are so crazy i think no one except for people from his camp SPEAKER_25: had said there wouldn't be nuclear stuff like the doj was always like there might be nuclear stuff and then yeah now they're like yeah there was yeah i mean that this is crazy it's going to jail David Friedberg: what's the motive what's his mood you know i know he's a narcissist maniac um but in this case i'm like what's the actual motivation to take these documents SPEAKER_31: and then thumb your nose at the fbi and doj as they give you every possible chance i mean it's not a political show i'm not talking about how i'm just talking about human nature what what i mean what is the person doing that if the fbi came to you the doj and they do subpoenas and meetings and you're just like hey you can't really have this stuff you kind of got to give it SPEAKER_32: back and you just give the person every chance yep but imagine okay so now imagine that you're a SPEAKER_02: screaming narcissist and you don't believe that any viewpoint is valid except for yours like he SPEAKER_34: doesn't believe that the doj or fbi you're talking about reality or justice department haven't talked SPEAKER_38: about my reality yeah about my reality my viewpoint is the one that matters i know you can relate to this SPEAKER_02: like a teeny bit a little maybe a little you're just like no this is how it should be and i'm in charge in my own mind and so it's going to be like this and whatever they say i'm not going to Jason Calacanis: and then also imagine that you have like a half a billion dollars in debt and are probably an actual foreign asset and then you know all the answers you need i mean seriously remember he came SPEAKER_34: out of office and they were like there are 400 million dollars in loans coming due that he can't pay a lot of we hope he doesn't have any secrets yeah i mean i had it's a lot of jobs all the SPEAKER_49: secrets like that's that's definitely a lot of jumps i don't know and money is money is the easiest jump of all well you know it's interesting this does relate to venture money do crimes well um people SPEAKER_06: are now saying the two billion dollar venture fund that jared put together the nuclear secrets i mean people are making a lot of jumps here but the nuclear secrets of another country are israel's SPEAKER_56: and saudi arabia would be very interested in that and so this is like jump jump jump jump jump i mean SPEAKER_25: i like pray that that stuff's not i've seen that stuff too and i pray it's not true i will the one that makes me way more upset even than that though is the stories about how we were losing like a lot Jason Calacanis: of assets have you seen those like there were stories there were news stories in 2019-ish that were like hey the cia is warning the united states government that we're losing a lot of assets like a lot of SPEAKER_66: people in the field spies people in the field are being killed yeah that's fascinating um i i i gotta SPEAKER_19: be honest i think that's incredibly incredibly small chance that that's what's going on here i SPEAKER_45: i pray that that's not what's happening but like i know some people who've met with trump SPEAKER_31: and they said like the first thing he does SPEAKER_06: is you know like whether i know somebody who was at mar-a-lago i know somebody who met with him in his SPEAKER_68: office and they said it is like memorabilia central and he will be like here's mike tyson's boxing gloves SPEAKER_06: hears you know this basketball from this game right he yes and so he is obsessed with the relationships people he knows memorabilia um you know i was talking to some very important i was talking to SPEAKER_73: some very important friends of mine about this molly yeah um you know and uh these were like really SPEAKER_23: important people i was like really what is more impressive i mean with your scratchy voice right now it's actually terrifying so i'm just gonna like it sounds so close it sounds so close okay i was with SPEAKER_78: mark cuban okay i showed him my documents i showed him my nuclear secrets he was very impressed SPEAKER_88: i'm sorry everybody whoa all right i need to get a hot seat uh all right so this is it this is what i'm telling you i think it's a memorabilia plan beginning and end full stop i don't think for SPEAKER_89: selling secrets probably an ego and memorabilia play but 98 percent people are sneaking in there SPEAKER_91: no i don't think any of that's happening i think this guy is such a mad man i don't think that there SPEAKER_02: was any well if you were a foreign operative like you're pretending that spies don't exist if you're a foreign operative like that lady who pretended to be a rothschild and you know that this moron SPEAKER_94: is like that's fair actually secrets because you're not going to take candy from a baby that's a fair point he must have a ton of planet there must be a ton of spies there's working at mar-a-lago yeah oh SPEAKER_10: god i didn't think of that yeah if i was russian chinese israeli musad kgb whatever secret service SPEAKER_99: yes yeah of course everything that's why you don't take it out of the secret building because SPEAKER_100: spies are everywhere yeah that's what i would do yeah i would say i would be like uh i would i would SPEAKER_102: plant somebody in the united states as a real estate developer speculator i'd have them move to miami i'd have them throw some parties i'd have them apply for a membership at three golf courses join two of them and then i would have them do real estate deals in the hopes that eventually you would be in the former SPEAKER_103: president's circle somehow because you bought two apartments in miami for a couple million dollars each SPEAKER_102: and that would that would just instantly ingratiate you yeah yeah that's that's a good plan baby yeah SPEAKER_94: i mean literally a lady pretending to be a member of the rothschild family was photographed that's SPEAKER_105: pretty great and lindsey graham and she's a russian agent most likely SPEAKER_108: like oh what's happening in the world exactly but anyway so i like this theory i think we have SPEAKER_02: probably literally lost spies yeah because this idiot for his own gratification you're almost SPEAKER_114: certainly right about that uh-huh was just like i need mementos and i need those mementos to be the SPEAKER_116: nuclear secrets i think we figured it out i think we should be in the we should be in the kgb or cia or SPEAKER_88: something because here's the thing sometimes the most obvious thing is the thing so the most obvious thing right is that a person obsessed with memorabilia looks at power and here's you SPEAKER_68: know the president of france's personal life he obviously reportedly has those documents and here's SPEAKER_51: um you know some countries you know weapon systems now if you were like entertaining a couple people SPEAKER_10: and you're like hey by the way you ever hear of the president of france check this out SPEAKER_103: really fun time here's some tea and then i do think you're absolutely right that like if twitter SPEAKER_102: has spies working at it and they caught spies working at uh facebook i believe why wouldn't there be spies working at mar-a-lago like they're going to work anywhere that's in proximity to power and information yeah so that is the first place i would put all my spies and then if you were the fbi in the doj you and the national archive of records whatever it's called you would be highly attuned to this playbook therefore you would take this very seriously therefore you would risk the claims of partisanship and targeting trump or a former president by another political party yada yada you would actually risk that knowing that that risk is not as important as the potential reality SPEAKER_130: of us leaking things that are destabilizing nuclear peace so dumb i mean right i mean SPEAKER_02: it's easy like and we have to be able to hold these two thoughts this is actually really valuable content and yes nick we should totally leave it in the show because we have to have these two thoughts in our heads right like trump could be a 100 egomaniacal clown true fact right clown yeah kept probably probably kept this stuff like sure maybe somebody wanted to buy him off on the other end but most likely you don't need to buy them you just need to buy an apartment to buy an apartment you know he makes 300 grand that's enough so he could feel awesome and he could show people off and all of those things are totally true and also it is the gravest threat to national security we maybe have ever faced because you could destabilize the entire fragile nuclear piece of the world by being the right SPEAKER_130: spy buying the right apartments yes all right so it still is like the crime of the century even if he just did it because he's an egomaniac idiot but okay so pardon i think i'm sorry no no no we SPEAKER_06: triangulated it the piece i still don't understand is and i think this might be strategy this is the one SPEAKER_31: i'm i'm kind of triangulating on you know if you were the party who's being told to give back the SPEAKER_06: documents and they've outlined it to you explicitly over it seems to be like six months or 12 months of drama over a year yeah yeah it's like a year of drama now and they are escalating and you have SPEAKER_31: attorneys they may be dip but they're attorneys nonetheless and you see this is escalating so you would think if you were the counterparty to the fbi and doj giving you subpoenas and asking for tapes of the thing and coming and visiting and you think at some point you'd be like you know what okay there's SPEAKER_06: a lot of other memorabilia this last five percent of memorabilia i probably should just give it to them SPEAKER_31: so i can put this to rest because it's becoming now a more acute situation so then why would my colombo like why why would you push the issue there man because they did tell you to give it back and they did give you the subpoena thing so why would you push the issue i have a theory but i want SPEAKER_103: to hear yours molly do you have a theory in this gamesmanship okay we've outlined it spies are SPEAKER_19: everywhere that is not unique to the former president they're in twitter they're in facebook they're in morgan stanley they're up working at hotels whatever so there are spies everywhere this information obviously you know trump loves memorabilia okay so this is non-controversial we we know all this stuff spies everywhere he loves memorabilia but now this third piece of the puzzle SPEAKER_103: right why not just resolve the issue when it's becoming acute why would you drag this on is the thing that i've been struggling with i have a theory but i want to hear yours first it's one of two SPEAKER_23: theories right it's okay here we go in my mind it is either all right what's it's either the worst case Jason Calacanis: scenario which is actual active espionage it's either like worst case scenario is someone's literally paying him for these i'm just saying these are the two okay okay okay one is active espionage someone's SPEAKER_34: paying him for these secrets yeah two less than one percent i'm with you and i find that actually unlikely because you don't even have to pay him you just sneak in and steal it steal it yeah i mean also SPEAKER_31: he's he is smart enough to know that would be actual espionage right and he knows he's being watched so exactly if he knows he's being watched he know and he does believe in the deep state like SPEAKER_06: and he's gonna go do espionage i don't buy it it's like 0.001 it's like a one in 10 000 he'd be insane enough to do that but okay we both agree you don't even have what's the other one yes what's SPEAKER_106: the second one is i don't think he's okay and i think he thinks he's president right like i think it's SPEAKER_34: the level of egomania and delusion that is so intense that that literally he does not think SPEAKER_100: they have the authority to request these documents from him okay so i i think that's pretty close to SPEAKER_88: my theory my theory is he is so addicted to attention that when he sees a situation like this come up he thinks every other time i've been involved in a controversy it has created more people talking SPEAKER_06: about me which has then led to good things so a narcissist maniac celebrity person addicted i'm not SPEAKER_19: saying this like i i look at him as a celebrity so you know there are celebrities who just keep doing crazy things that you're like why would you do that and they're it's like why would you date that person SPEAKER_102: and then break up with him three months later i'm thinking of kim kardashian here right with pete davidson and kanye you're like why would you do that like you know kanye's crazy you know pete davidson's unique like these are two very unique individuals who have been very public about their mental illness struggles why would kim kardashian who seems to have it all together and it's like a billionaire who makes incredible companies and is one of the most savvy marketers that every time i see what she does i appreciate it more why would she do that why would she be with two people with bona fide mental illness who have been public about it instead of being with somebody normal who's successful who's a contemporary of hers who could build a exactly like relationship that would be fulfilling to her yep because it's and it's like okay well actually we know why because dating pete davidson puts her in the media cycle at the number one story on every tabloid for six months dating dating marrying and having babies but kanye puts her at the top of the tip of the spear for in in publicity for five years that's the reason i mean oh it sounds super cynical SPEAKER_02: but no she's just like that you become a celebrity because of how you are right it's a deliberate it takes intentionality it takes a crap ton of work yes like i mean we it is not even uncommon for Jason Calacanis: like for decades for the as long as celebrity has been around there have been like relationships that only exist to get the other attention it's a long way of saying i haven't anyway yes it's for attention SPEAKER_173: and delusion and so it's a long way of saying now that i've gone hollywood SPEAKER_08: that i'm disclosing now that pete davidson and i have been having an affair for the last six weeks and that's why kanye and pete davidson broke up i am going to use this technique i am now going to start SPEAKER_175: dating pete davidson so that i can get more ratings for the shows raise more funds and i just want to laugh molly it's literally what i love to do is just make molly laugh on the show so i do this whole build up just to deliver that punchline just imagining like are we all gonna SPEAKER_178: have to take pete davidson now pretty much pretty much listen i can't tell you what to do you want SPEAKER_31: to succeed but i brought you here to get the ratings up it has succeeded in the first six months and i've been thinking about it and i think pete davidson shout out uh molly is you know i'm not saying she's available i'm not saying she's not available but saying she could be your kim 2.0 call me pete

start up stuff well of course we're talking about tech and startups but i just you know anyway uh you are in san francisco is it tonight you have your big talk tonight yeah i got my big SPEAKER_62: talk at the commonwealth club tonight thank you people can still get tickets or not happen i didn't SPEAKER_34: still get tickets as far as i know i don't know i don't know the capacity situation but i would imagine they can all right so type in mollywood because everybody in tech is that code anyway so SPEAKER_189: that's true yeah so it might be a little light there yeah wah wah wah so i am yeah and so anybody to SPEAKER_08: type commonwealth club type mollywood do it on twitter or do it wherever uh maybe we'll put it SPEAKER_173: oh tweet about great so if mollywood anyway moving on anyway so that's happening and you're in la we're SPEAKER_62: having an all hotel show today for those who are not watching on video i am in the very plush very SPEAKER_193: beautiful uh waldorf astoria uh which in beverly hills is amazing hotel oh my god i like being rich SPEAKER_08: you're like i love it he's like the idea of spending a thousand dollars a night on a hotel to me was like insane yeah like i always topped out at like 300 and 400 i would get very anxious and then at some point i was like i only stay in hotels 10 times a year it's not gonna make a difference in my life if i spend 500 or a thousand so i just decided to like maybe let loose a little bit once in a while i still mostly stay at where do i have my most points i think it's at the i have the starward program that's now the bonvoy so i have 2 million bonvoy points so i mostly stay at like marriott's and saint regis and whatever because i have these two million points and i don't SPEAKER_201: pay for it but i treated myself to this so anyway good for you is it i mean like is it that different SPEAKER_34: i wonder i sort of feel like the difference between a 200 a night hotel and a 600 a night hotel is usually not as much as i want it to be if that makes sense yes it does make sense it's not SPEAKER_203: three times better so yes not three times better it's still just like a coffee maker and a robe and SPEAKER_08: you know sheets are what it's about for me and so when you stay in some of these elite places amman which is thousand to fifteen hundred a night uh or walled off you know and then the next stage SPEAKER_06: down is like saint regis and ritz callton those are 500 bucks a night i like those so basically from SPEAKER_19: that level to the next level is not much difference but there is a difference in service and like how they treat you so you know i was talking about a mom level i've been studying how they treat customers so i i am kind of studying how they treat customers three people greeting me downstairs you know they call you sir they offered you the water they offered you would you like cold water or room temperature water now this seems like really stupid but people do have a preference for that and that's the kind of detail that exactly they care the people care and so i just try to you know and then when you want to like you know go to the restaurant jean george is the restaurant here and then i also got a haircut here so they had like a men's stylist haircut here so i got a SPEAKER_06: little haircut you know it's very convenient so it's quite nice um but it's uh also very good for meetings i find it's a really good flex so i'm meeting with the reality tv producers today i signed my reality tv deal so you'll be doing some cameos on that show and so you know i'm meeting with them SPEAKER_08: and then i tell them i'm at the waldorf and uh you know where i go up to the roof and you know order the lobster salad sixty dollars or something and i just you know it's a little flex it's a mini flex to make sure they know and then people treat you differently when they know you're loaded full stop you know and uh i i i know that and so i do a little mini flex on them love it that's it SPEAKER_103: you know listen now that you're a venture capitalist a lot of people were talking about you last night they were at the party well all the journalists were there so you know i come up and i host this party with my friend brooke hammerling she's like the number one pr person and my friend skydeen who SPEAKER_06: created earthlink and so 20 years ago sky and i started playing poker and our friend brooke um who was representing sky's helio at the time sky created a um beautiful uh phone with sk telecom SPEAKER_19: a smartphone you know three years before steve jobs did and it failed but you know he basically ran into the brick wall that was steve jobs but in la all the celebrities had heliophones because SPEAKER_06: they were the most advanced and so anyway sky myself would play cards and then our friend mark cuban who was at the time doing broadcast.com i was a journalist we'd play basketball at this conference in laguna and then it became the all these conference and anyway basically this series SPEAKER_19: of events it went across industry summit which was john patel's event all things d and then after it recode conferences so car we started with john patel's conference playing poker and then we started playing at kara swisher and walt mossbergs but they're ending it now my friend jim bankoff owns recode and vox and new york magazine so i hung out with my friend jim bankoff last night SPEAKER_102: he's the one who bought weblogs inc off of me so just a lot of you know 20 years of my career in SPEAKER_66: this poker game yeah but i i cannot have fun yeah it's very nice great yearly reunion that sounds SPEAKER_08: yes and it's two tables and uh you know a little table and a big table you know uh i could talk about SPEAKER_103: it now because we ended it at this event because the recode conference is ending but i couldn't talk SPEAKER_08: about it for 20 years because we would be at a hotel and hotels can get a little freaked out if you throw a 50 person poker game so i'd have to myself and sky and brooke did most of the work we would have to now you would not believe the navigation we would be i would be getting hundred dollar bills and paying off people and you know just making sure that no then we would bring in our own food and our own you know beverages then they would get tweaked about that and order room service then the noise level and then we get the presidential suite and so then we just started saying listen we're we're gonna have a poker game it's for charity and we're gonna SPEAKER_19: be playing up there do you want the business or not we'll take the presidential suite for two nights which you know it's five or ten grand a night so you know this thing costs 30 grand to do but we split SPEAKER_06: up the cost yada yada anyways the last one but you your name came up because i was talking to kevin roos from the new york times i was talking to mg siegler who has become a venture capitalist i was talking to gabe from tech meme you know every top journalist comes a lot of the ones who come on this program as well and um they were asking how's molly doing and i said well in fact she's done SPEAKER_08: four deals and six months and you know ratings of this weekend started went up and let's just say SPEAKER_88: a lot of journalists were very interested in the path and so yeah yeah you're you're definitely SPEAKER_08: becoming a trailblazer like you know the five or so journalists who have made this jump michael moritz um malik mg siegler myself and you and uh yeah i think those are the five wow yeah pretty much SPEAKER_226: christina farr chrissy farr was at cnbc and is now doing health tech investing i think but yeah it's SPEAKER_57: not i mean it's like not as many as you would think it's under 10. i mean there might be other SPEAKER_103: examples that i'm missing here but sorry your name came up everybody says hi and uh so i'm playing SPEAKER_06: cards everybody likes poker series i'm just running the table over yeah i'm like really in the zone right now in my life in terms of like execution and focus level and so i am just you know it's a SPEAKER_88: five thousand dollar buying game i run it up to 30 grand i'm dominating everybody to the level of SPEAKER_06: it's hysterical and there's a hundred well there's maybe a hundred maybe a hundred people come in and out there's maybe 50 people there at a time there's 20 people around the table just watching me just dominate every hand and i can't believe it i'm playing against my best friend sky dayton one SPEAKER_103: of my best friends and uh i hit a set of eights you hit a set of eight you got pocket eights right and an eight comes out so you have three eights and the board's ace nine eight he bets i raise he re-raises i go all in he snap calls i'm like whoa this is crazy now i got thirty thousand dollars in SPEAKER_08: front of me i got a prius in front of me i used one at least guess what he has he's got aces no he's SPEAKER_233: got no no there was an ace on the board but yeah so i have a set of eights he has a set of nines like SPEAKER_102: by one you know and of course we run it twice and that's way worse than aces at least you could just SPEAKER_234: like that's a that's a definitive loss but it was bonkers it was bonkers uh that's mean this is my SPEAKER_68: last hand of the night i could have been up sixty thousand dollars or down five but yeah that's how they SPEAKER_34: get you that's how they get you my son told me the other day uh that uh he thinks he should take up gambling because you know most gamblers quit right before they hit it big SPEAKER_241: take up gambling because most gamblers quit right before they i do i do it's a pretty good one it's SPEAKER_68: pretty good um but you know gambling's for i want to start a a game like a lower stakes game with you and then start inviting maybe some more female vcs or you know female founders and stuff because we SPEAKER_127: only have one i think because it can only one woman playing out of 20. i know it feels like really in SPEAKER_92: it it feels weirdly intimidating even though like we all play poker like i'm like all the women i know play SPEAKER_234: poker there's just something about the poker game that feels like golf or being in the hot tub or you know it's sort of like eh but yes it doesn't need to you know yeah i mean the hot tub has like uh accessible the hot tub is no good that's gotta stop it's no good because of baiting suits people SPEAKER_06: are wearing revealing outfits it's a little more intimate yeah it's obviously got all those other connotations but the poker table shouldn't be the poker table is like golf like anything else and what's really great about it is intimidation math deception you know you start looking at those and you know i think men get really into intimidation and aggression and dominating and then maybe women that's not like on their top list of things to do on a thursday night with their friends has SPEAKER_31: tried to intimidate them take their money destroy them and i think that might be true i hate to David Friedberg: generalize but that might be true i mean like generally women seem in my experience to be SPEAKER_31: nicer people than men but it doesn't mean a wild generalization here but that's why women should be playing i think is because i do think in business it does get sharp elbowed and it's a very good SPEAKER_90: proving ground and i think that's why it's become so big in business yeah i do think that the SPEAKER_34: crossover of poker and business is fascinating and also i mean we would be happy to sit around playing cards talking it up and committing all kinds of murders just maybe not the kinds you're SPEAKER_23: thinking of exactly if i have other well but yeah i mean i think we have so many other murders to SPEAKER_68: commit on a thursday night all right uh so anyway there's there's your like little background stories uh so fun we did a little we did a little trump trying to figure that out did a little uh SPEAKER_88: poker and conspicuous consumption of hotels uh reality tv stuff all the good stuff going on now SPEAKER_226: you're definitely going to calm down try to get your voice back i'm sure well you know i got luckily in SPEAKER_08: this life i have you and i can pass the ball to you and you can do the work and i can jump in and try to make everybody laugh or do a sniper shot inside so that's what's going to happen today folks SPEAKER_265: breaking news we're

couple of my high profile friends and get seen at something SPEAKER_273: i should have done this at burning man i should have leaked photos of myself at burning man SPEAKER_203: yes you really should i'm an idiot wait i can still do that yeah it's not too late do you have SPEAKER_274: them on your phone yeah but i yeah but it looks like i had two bottles of me looking drug on the SPEAKER_02: plyo right maybe you i because since this is a pr play like go ahead and stage it stage it so that SPEAKER_25: it looks the best for you you know oh you know what i should have done that he's having people over on his yacht lately like i just talked i have an actual way to do this i was dancing it's quite SPEAKER_31: embarrassing i was dancing and for some reason some person or group of people decided that quite SPEAKER_103: literally like right behind me at four o'clock five o'clock on the dial so if i'm looking straight ahead that's 12 like five o'clock like back right a group of people decides they're going to put all their backpacks and you know fur coats in a pile so i'm groove and i'm dancing and literally the next SPEAKER_31: thing i'm looking at the ceiling because i you know i'm dancing and i literally trip over a pile SPEAKER_151: i've landed a pile of bags and jackets like costume outfits and costume five people like oh my god jay SPEAKER_175: cal you know and i'm like i'm okay i'm okay folks i'm laying in fur and five people pick me up are SPEAKER_103: you okay i'm like yeah they're like what happened i'm like i guess you know when your kids and somebody will we used to do this when we were kids we would somebody would go stand behind somebody and put their hands and get on down on all fours and then we push them so they fall over the back of somebody because we were bad kids yeah it was basically like that now if i had that on video people look SPEAKER_102: jay cow is that a good leak or somebody says bad leak right is it a bad leak as in it's a good leak SPEAKER_286: no it's a good leak come on it's a good leak look at jay cow falling he's he's you know yeah all SPEAKER_34: attention is good attention that's what i gotta do even the kind that is espionage or whatever back to the to loop all the way back to the beginning i think that's the thing i think that's what it is is SPEAKER_69: like it's just trump says i i need attention this gets me attention and now i take over the news cycle SPEAKER_173: i think he literally premeditated because people are like desantis desantis desantis davis acts loves SPEAKER_08: desantis hates trump he wants desantis and i think trump's like how do i level up desantis in the news SPEAKER_02: i could see him thinking how do i show that i have more power than him yes i don't think again because SPEAKER_129: i think he's a baby man on the inside i think it's mostly putting up here at this point that SPEAKER_34: it's not premeditated but it is probably like i have more power than him look at the nukes you know SPEAKER_298: anyway now let's do the news now let's do the news i literally was like this is the show we're just i SPEAKER_173: need a molly's news theme song can somebody make me a drop that's a molly's news like breaking news SPEAKER_156: it's molly's news time for the news with mollywood time for the news with mollywood what's gonna happen Jason Calacanis: with my shopping okay um this is actually interesting and i'm curious to see how it's gonna play out we saw this uh low-key story in the information a scoop from the information sylvia varna-moregan instagram evidently is going to start scaling back its shopping features because you know at some point especially right during the pandemic uh instagram had gone hard on shopping you could check out with instagram they were just gonna try to make it more easy to buy stuff and let me tell you like everybody i know can't stop buying things from instagram ads so it makes sense that they were like how can we get in here and get a piece of it however evidently that piece did not turn out to produce as much revenue one assumes as they expected because this was top priority according to this story for the past two years for mark zuckerberg specifically to turn facebook and instagram apps into shopping destinations because of apple's privacy changes causing so much lost revenue from SPEAKER_02: ad tracking wow however apparently they're just going to change that instagram is evidently planning to Jason Calacanis: scale back the shopping features to focus on killing tick tock basically got it form video content because they've lost so many eyeballs makes sense to tick tock they're like forget about the shopping even though that's probably good revenue and just get the balls the eyeballs back on the service they SPEAKER_68: definitely need the balls back uh at instagram they are on every level hemorrhage oh well you know SPEAKER_88: speaking of thirst traps and trying to get attention did you see zuckerberg doing the mma stuff SPEAKER_103: no okay there's a video of zuck doing mma fighting two weeks after he was on joe rogan who obviously is SPEAKER_06: the you know the voice of mma and so i started thinking about this i was like you know what happened i think zuck sort like chamath with the shirt off picture and then he was like i'm not getting enough attention and he saw bezos with his shirt off you know and then there's like this peter attila guy who like tim ferris is his doctor and all these guys are doing testosterone i think i don't know who SPEAKER_103: but this is becoming a thing human growth hormone testosterone because you know i'm of that age where SPEAKER_19: men around me are discussing you know shooting themselves full of testosterone and feeling like SPEAKER_06: they're 30 years old again i think zuckerberg realizes he's irrelevant uh people don't like him SPEAKER_102: and so he said you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna go mma fighter i'm gonna get a diesel body i'm gonna take my shirt off he didn't take his shirt off yet but i think that's coming in three months and uh you know he saw chamath get like all this attention he got a little jelly he saw bezos he got a little more jelly and he said i'm gonna start getting some attention for myself as a super ceo i'm SPEAKER_103: gonna get all the simps and the incels on joe rogan and i'm gonna try to capture that group of people SPEAKER_313: to make myself likable and you know what i think it worked what it did not i did amongst that group of SPEAKER_314: people pull it up i missed this amongst that group of people it's worked and so the picture the oh SPEAKER_205: it's a video oh okay oh he's boxing okay but look at the video this is a steadicam shot SPEAKER_19: yeah no no look at the blur you see that there's like oh yeah i don't bring producer nick on too often but i need producer nick to vouch here what is the shot on is this on a red camera hell is this shot on a red camera how long did it take to because look at this there's another shot cut to another shot i think there's about eight shots in here in 90 seconds multiple angles yeah look at this this guy's on the ground shooting and i think you see the guy shooting in the mirror and i bet you if we pause on that nick if you can if you could figure out how to pause on the shot of the guy in the mirror i don't i didn't i haven't done this yet but i need a full investigation here i need to what camera this was shot on is it over the shoulder shot look at that's look at these cuts nick SPEAKER_34: now he's lifting them up throwing them down our new he got the neck thing going i just want to SPEAKER_23: point out that zuckerberg is kicking all the ass here too like it's it's it's you know this guy is this guy's taking and this guy can knock zuck out in one shot right but he's like going slow and pulling SPEAKER_34: his punches but zuck does look for the first time here legitimately athletic and badass as opposed to kind of hilariously androidy and pathetic look at that okay look at that roundhouse kick there by the SPEAKER_19: way getting a roundhouse kick above your you know shoulder um that that's that's not inconsequential um and it looks like it does have a little power on it so i'm gonna look as a black belt window i SPEAKER_234: could tell you okay there it is there's a tripod there's a camera guy full camera guy with a shoulder SPEAKER_333: camera from what i can tell yeah this is this is what happens when cheryl sandberg this is what SPEAKER_19: happens when cheryl sandberg leaves and then he starts getting some other pr advice he wants to come out SPEAKER_06: he wants to be buff he wants to be loved by incels and guys crypto guys he's going full crypto SPEAKER_103: audience exactly this is what he's trying to court he wants to get he went on lex friedman joe rogan and now he releases this it's pretty obvious what he's doing and by the way the journalists SPEAKER_174: boy the metaverse is going to be fun for ladies isn't it no it's going to be all dudes all the time SPEAKER_102: um here's what's happening folks this is a pr campaign by suck to be more likable to get more people to look at him like people look at bezos and chamath and other cool ceos he does not feel SPEAKER_103: cool and he is now doing a pr campaign to try to be cool amongst men from 18 to whatever 50. you are SPEAKER_02: so right you are so right he does not he's not happy about his image his image sucks people don't SPEAKER_340: like him and now you know what i kind of like him more i like him to say it he kind of got me he SPEAKER_343: got me too he kind of got me i was like oh yeah cool oh my god he got me he looks great he looks SPEAKER_346: lean and he looks happy he looks happy he looks like a normal dude he has good lats his back is SPEAKER_348: wide but he's not like gross jacked like i know he's the quads bezos is like hgh jack he looks too SPEAKER_349: much zuckerberg looks healthy it's a good look it's a good look all around yeah he looks good two hours SPEAKER_88: on he went to he went to joe rogan he went to do lex friedman he's doing the full incel SPEAKER_352: you know toxic masculinity tour this is the toxic masculinity tour it's the tmt user privacy is one SPEAKER_266: of the biggest topics in tech right now and if you

know a 15 to 35 year old guy who wants to be a wannabe mma firefighter right like this is this is the same this is the exact same crypto tour or Jason Calacanis: pr playbook as whatever you would do for crypto like it's only a matter of time before the metaverse buys a stadium and you start seeing metaverse ads in every sporting event which is a way this is leading SPEAKER_366: hell for anybody else who wants to be you want to know where this is leading SPEAKER_103: uh there'll be an announcement within 24 months that he's separating from his wife and he's going to be dating a celebrity in 36 months i'm guaranteeing it definitely he has figured it out he's he's unloved he doesn't have like a core fan base like who was the core fan base before this mma video and joe rogan and lex fan base there's no no no i'm asking let me ask nick nick because he's the he's the he's who he's nick's the one who's being targeted here yeah you know young professional men because he also needs he needs developers molly and who wants to work there right i don't think anybody wants to work for him how many developer resumes back-end engineers whatever do you think he's getting it after this video he got you no idea it's got to go SPEAKER_372: 2x are you are you saying how many people that are in my age are going to want to work for him SPEAKER_19: like him and think he's cool how much has it changed because it's clear nobody thought he was cool SPEAKER_372: very little i don't think that that video is like widely circulated um but i will say there's not on the internet i hadn't seen it yeah if you're a man you've seen it no no no no i think SPEAKER_374: you're you you you live in a twitter bubble okay there is not one ask my kid if he's seen it SPEAKER_373: that's the that's what we find out if your kid has seen it because that's the demographic is going over SPEAKER_372: certain there's a bravery about putting a video of you boxing not being a boxer on the internet because it can go really really poorly if it goes wrong for instance tyler hero who is on the miami heat he's a shooting guard he put a video of himself like training in the off season doing like boxing training and he just threw the most awful uppercut of all time and he got clowned for i mean months afterwards i still see the video when you see mark zuckerberg snap a left hook and connect nicely SPEAKER_103: you're like damn all right nick damn zuck i okay in january we're gonna do a photo shoot i'm gonna start showing some serious i'm gonna do some serious flexing you're gonna i'm gonna do a SPEAKER_273: flying cycle make you feel insecure are you totally yeah what the hell is going on here everybody's putting out boxing and fighting videos and i'm an actual mma fighter i'm an actual black belt i'm gonna start flexing here pull up my that's it it's starting right now go to instagram.com slash i SPEAKER_102: think my old account jason calacanis or maybe it's on slash jason and pull up my spider kick SPEAKER_203: and my double front kick this is my these are dated favorite show that we've done in ages this is the SPEAKER_102: best show that's it i am coming since i got here and this is it i am no longer gonna sit back and be SPEAKER_387: passive i'm making an mma fight video dude we just figured out your pr stunt you need to challenge SPEAKER_390: zuck to a fight whoa that would be next level oh my god i didn't think about it SPEAKER_175: 51 year old j cal versus what is he 40 he's got to be 10 years younger than me he's still i feel like SPEAKER_103: he yeah maybe i gotta be honest i gotta be honest it's we hell of a fight because he's got he's 10 years younger than me and like it really does change from 40 to 50. number two but i have obviously SPEAKER_373: have techniques like the amount of power i can generate is three times more than his period full stuff but let's put the pause on that for a second the other thing is he's got aspie focus SPEAKER_102: like i got a lot of friends who are aspergers and he's obviously on the spectrum he's been public about that um those ask me guys when they get in a zone scary you know yeah i mean his training if he takes training seriously like he's got a level of focus that i may not have but uh this is going to SPEAKER_301: be used to yeah take training seriously from i don't know if they found photos of me flying SPEAKER_373: through the air uh doing because i was a specialist at flying kicks i will say though you're not going SPEAKER_34: to get credit for videos from like 20 years ago like i'm sorry it's not gonna count it's not gonna SPEAKER_68: count it's okay that's okay i don't need to do flying kicks i mean when i when i start putting out SPEAKER_19: some sidekick videos and i'll get the there's a machine that records your um power for a sidekick and for a roundhouse kick and um yeah we'll we'll we'll put an end to all this discussion and speculating SPEAKER_234: very soon so that's coming i will say i texted my son and he hasn't responded but i am remembering Jason Calacanis: that literally yesterday he texted me and his dad and he was like hey can i start taking boxing lessons SPEAKER_68: perfect i think that's what it is i think everybody's realizing this is it okay so listen SPEAKER_19: i think zuckerberg you know obviously has no original ideas he steals everything and so i think a SPEAKER_18: couple years ago just trying to do what joe rogan did so he he's oh the mark zuckerberg podcast is SPEAKER_175: coming oh no zuckerberg's gonna launch a pod oh my god that's what's next zuckerberg is gonna get to he's gonna get to amically what do they call it conscientious uh punchy conscious conscious SPEAKER_301: separation decoupling easily separated decoupling yes he's gonna consciously decouple he's gonna start SPEAKER_19: dating some star like he'll be dating lady gaga or something i don't know somebody who's in come SPEAKER_103: on or p and or pete davidson uh they could be a throuple um it's a thing apparently it's a thing yeah yeah uh if you're in the bay area or a burning man is throupling um meet my wife and my girlfriend SPEAKER_19: and her girlfriend and we're a throuple okay interesting um so he'll be throupling and he'll have SPEAKER_102: a pod this is my bet because yeah this is uh if this was a an iphone video and it was a straight shot and it was 15 seconds of him just throwing three punches and a kick this would not be major news yep the fact that he hired a steady cam i think it's a red camera probably because what SPEAKER_103: you'll notice in that video is they're actually slowing down certain parts of it so this is about a 30 000 edit job i'm gonna say to shoot and edit 20 to 30 000 to make a video of that quality and that SPEAKER_19: length and i don't know if that's what he paid he might have just had a friend but i would say between 10 and 30 000 to put that out and that was done by facebook pr as a deliberate strategy yeah this SPEAKER_203: is an image building an image campaign 100 you are so correct now back to instagram help us he at some SPEAKER_06: point realized how much money was being spent on e-commerce because he has the data because all the e-commerce stuff was being spent on his platform and he said to himself if i'm gonna get the headwinds of apple not letting me target people and then what that means is that amazon's not going to be SPEAKER_103: buying ads right or not as many so what do you do well then you incorporate amazon and marketplaces ebay you lose ebay and amazon as advertisers are two of the biggest advertisers on the internet obviously do face on facebook do the marketplace facebook marketplace yeah so does facebook marketplace to compete against amazon then he uses instagram to try to do it okay one out of two work great but now he SPEAKER_06: realizes i got this other war going on i gotta fight the other war on the other front which is tick SPEAKER_08: tock and the amount of balls he's losing and so he he grows some balls apparently and he's gonna go balls out i mean i'm talking about eyeballs molly he's going eyeballs out circle again it's beautiful SPEAKER_34: he's eyeballs so good at this he's eyeballs out well i i like how we're just like spilling the tea today so should we just gossip about apple and their sad little announcements that are all in SPEAKER_234: service of i think we can sum this up let me guess everything the other day was right okay SPEAKER_174: that everything they're developing is in service of ar and vr and so it's just going to be boring as hell Jason Calacanis: for incremental nonsense yep no m3 not even airpods not not no upgraded airpods max or whatever the over the year i think some new version of um the airpods and then like a bunch of really expensive watch SPEAKER_203: things and then a new phone that's just like you know what i like i like when you throw to a clip SPEAKER_100: and we watch you know 48 seconds of tim cook at their empty campus you know what we should do is SPEAKER_02: we should watch 48 seconds of tim cook at the empty apple campus and that will tell us all the all we need to know great i knew you're gonna do that yeah i felt it coming 48 seconds we'll see SPEAKER_431: you on the other side we're excited to introduce the next generation of airpods pro our most advanced SPEAKER_432: airpods yet these advances come together in a magical way with spatial audio which takes the listening experience to the next level by making sound feel like you are on stage with your favorite band performing around you with ios 16 you can use the true depth camera on iphone to create a personal profile for spatial audio another feature our users love is active noise cancellation now you will have up to six hours of listening time from a single charge which is a 33 increase over the original airpods pro and with the charging case you will have up to 30 hours of total listening time SPEAKER_438: i want the bionic gears blade runner it hurts after a while like just give me the implants i'm ready SPEAKER_103: put it in yeah cut my ear right for the apple can you imagine you had an apple ear in and then they start playing ads to you you're sleeping and they're doing subliminal ads they really wear the anti-ads SPEAKER_234: but apple is now doing subliminal messages to you and that right there is pretty much pretty much all you Jason Calacanis: need to know about the apple uh event today is that it was none of that no ar no vr no implants SPEAKER_447: just more phones and headphones just oh my god here's a good idea here's a good idea is there a video crew out there please leave all this in the show by the way um is there a video crew out there SPEAKER_06: who could make parody apple announcement for us and molly and i i'll play tim cook molly will play one of SPEAKER_34: these vps one of the rando ladies that they pull up because they don't have yeah one of the c-suite yeah SPEAKER_451: yeah one of the marginalized i mean who nobody knows who they are i'll be the i'll be the token SPEAKER_103: that's fine you can be the token and they'll be like vp of tokenism like do you notice that they know SPEAKER_102: do they when they have women do they actually give their titles and they're the titles have anything to do with power and driving stuff at apple or are they i mean it doesn't even if they do all of that SPEAKER_02: yeah there are no women in the apple c-suite how could a woke company there have been that's not SPEAKER_06: true decades really there are no women in positions of this that's pretty telling actually i if i were to make a guess i have not looked at their leadership page in 10 years i'm gonna guess right now that SPEAKER_88: they will have some tokenism oh i'm so wrong there's one okay no but hold on i'm not looking at the page i promise you i'm gonna guess that the one token woman on the leadership team yep is in the job SPEAKER_31: function of either this is going to get meta they're either in comms pr marketing or actual diversity SPEAKER_461: so actually okay i found two like they're not going to be in charge of a product or technology SPEAKER_02: one deirdre o'brien is the senior vice president of retail and people okay people exactly like it's a soft title it's a soft title nailed it got it catherine adams is senior vice president and general SPEAKER_186: counsel again nothing to do with technology right exactly she's their head so the two women do have SPEAKER_103: no impact on product and then if you go down to page two okay next level below the fold was that two of ten on the leadership or two of seven i'm just four eight twelve two of twelve so less than about 18 SPEAKER_301: on the like front you know the top page then you get you scroll down a little bit lisa jackson who Jason Calacanis: i've talked to who's vice president of environment policy and social initiatives oh does that have SPEAKER_88: anything to do with product technology or any of the products that delight customers at apple no great three for three here three for free exactly they're vice president of worldwide comms SPEAKER_471: four or four four four four okay and no impact on product this kind of vague which might be a huge SPEAKER_34: deal but i'm not really sure vice president managing director of greater china no no that that has to SPEAKER_203: do with supply chain business operations operations although under tim cook business operations is SPEAKER_475: that's i'm not saying i'm not saying any of these positions are not important what i'm trying to make SPEAKER_476: a point here is even the most woke of 18 of 18 women okay okay 18 out of five and fine i don't know that SPEAKER_19: that that number is disastrous obviously you'd like to see it be higher yeah but let's just say let's just assume that's not a disastrous number yeah compared to their contemporaries what i want to point SPEAKER_62: out is people of color both of whom are women none of the men are are it's all the men are white SPEAKER_34: here's the thing yeah if you this is the point good also don't say woke woke is code in today's america for i don't want to have to see any black people so i'm just saying well that's not how i SPEAKER_151: at a company that touts its progressive values okay sure progressive values that's what woke means to SPEAKER_56: me i'm sorry but what progressive values aka woke for most people um or maybe not um nope i'll have SPEAKER_68: to look it up because i the the the consensus to me is woke is like virtue why do like why do people SPEAKER_174: think that the new lord of the ring series is woke virtue signal i'll tell you because it has black David Friedberg: people in it oh is it really just code for in your mind it's code for i don't want to have to either SPEAKER_417: see or talk about black people okay fine i i thought well for me also like women or people of color but SPEAKER_34: mostly it's like i don't want to talk about all that crap because i find it annoying i thought woke SPEAKER_373: was virtue signaling so anyway let's put it aside here well i'll meditate on it i always take your SPEAKER_103: i always take your insight no i you're closer to the the the definition of work probably than i am because i'm a moderate and then i have friends who are on the right you have no friends on the right i'm a moderate i'm between these two groups over here i've i'm holding the line with my right wing friends and then over here i have my left friends and i'm just sitting here in the middle my little independent self here's the thing of those five positions the point i'm making is apple has given has obviously put a lot of work into this and the president is an openly gay man this is massive progress in the world and they have you know a lot of diversity on that page fantastic and i'm sure inside the organization they put absolutely a ton of money into an effort into diversity and inclusion you would agree maybe more than any company they put more time and effort into it apple yeah of tech SPEAKER_487: companies do you think they put more of tech maybe facebook google microsoft would they be number they SPEAKER_25: would be they take it seriously is what i would say i would suggest that microsoft has probably done more than google or than apple okay but would you say they're taking it seriously and put a lot of SPEAKER_352: effort and time into it clearly right i don't know are they okay i think so they talk about it a lot SPEAKER_469: is it your sense that apple talks about that a lot i do i do think that they care about it really SPEAKER_06: yeah like anytime there is anything that has to do with diversity inclusion they seem to be talking about it and involved in it you know pride month any anything that has to do with diversity SPEAKER_103: inclusion i feel like they are talking about it and involved in it that's what i think i'm not even SPEAKER_06: really bashing apple that just isn't my perception of them okay yeah the point i want to make is when you look at these pages i think people are trying to make the pages look better and the classic playbook SPEAKER_103: that i see and i'm not i'm not even making too much of a judgment on this because these are obviously very important roles in a company like general counsel is a super important role being in charge of china apple is really important big deal yeah but i encourage people when they look at these to just think how much of this has to do with the core business you know in terms of the impact on touching SPEAKER_19: the customers right and i think what we just proved here i guessed that the majority of the titles would not be this person's in charge of chips this person's in charge of the app store this SPEAKER_103: person's in charge of what you know uh software technologies software engineering services machine SPEAKER_06: yeah not one not one not one so still work to be done is what i would say and i you know i'm sure they're aware of it and i actually think they probably have great intent so they have it folks i don't want to make this like you know too much of a thing but i do think that that's typically what i see and in vc we see it a lot too so if you do this at a vc firm who's meeting with founders who's joining the SPEAKER_08: board who's writing the check and then who's doing pr who's doing accounting who's doing back-end ops who's doing human resources women yep yeah they're like oh but we just put a woman in that spot we get our little check box and we don't have to let them near the actual business pretty much i don't mean to be SPEAKER_23: cynical but no that's 100 and we all know it and the more we say it the better it's great yeah i mean just listen let's be honest you know i'm sure they're working on it and it might be that like SPEAKER_19: the hardware division has been 94 men and there's 10 men who've been working at apple for 30 years who have the dna and who are really good at that top job and it's a logjam of absurdly qualified men and it's just going to take time for them to mentor more people into those roles who have the same you know pedigree um and and who deserve the job you know it's got to be a meritocracy you know you don't want to put the sixth best person for it but it's there's a lot SPEAKER_488: of work left to be done in our industry is i guess the point here absolutely and also and also SPEAKER_513: boring event all right so anyway they did something with the watch they're doing an ultra now what is something wait a second apple watch ultra costs more i mean what do you like so it's SPEAKER_34: ultra expensive expensive it costs more and it includes cellular instead of you paying for that extra well SPEAKER_02: that's the same thing if it costs more and they include it right that's the same thing you either paid for it to your cell phone carrier they're just this is just them taking the money instead of verizon SPEAKER_203: i assume and then it's like more beefy for if you're an ultra marathoner or a diver oh look at SPEAKER_100: that 36 hours of life on a single charges replacement oh perhaps all right i'll buy it i've been digging my watch i'll buy this it's fine i'll buy it you know i'll buy it they got me on 36 hours of well yeah SPEAKER_06: i'm gonna be doing my uh you know my my mma match with zuck for charity but uh also 36 hours of charge to me as a game changer that's how my that's why i love fitbit for many years but they kept breaking on me so i went fitbit to apple watch and the apple watch i only moved to it when SPEAKER_19: i could get a 24-hour charge yeah you know uh or it kind of barely gets there i'll be totally honest Jason Calacanis: i will say i find the battery life of the apple watch to be sort of specifically irritating because SPEAKER_62: it's not a full 24 hours and i want to wear it at night yes but you have to charge it as my alarm SPEAKER_34: and sleep and sleep but you really kind of can't because then it's dead by the morning and so you have to like try to and sometimes it's that dies and then the wrist alarm doesn't go off which sucks Jason Calacanis: yeah it's a it's a problematic battery life 36 hours what about the what about what about iphone 14 SPEAKER_06: let's get to that because that was you know like that's a that's a number change right we all have SPEAKER_541: the 13 max whatever yeah and they went to 14. so what is new and interesting about 14. okay here's SPEAKER_203: what's shocking actually about iphone 14. still no usbc charging i mean the fact that we're still SPEAKER_456: talking about actually astonished by no i am legitimately and sincerely shocked by that like SPEAKER_34: considering that the i think that you is going to start to regulate it we're talking about regulating SPEAKER_546: india i think india is on this yeah india's on it yeah i cannot believe that they're just like SPEAKER_02: here's a phone it has a fancier camera you can no longer get a small one the end and no usbc SPEAKER_69: all right you know what's also dumb about this um i'm trying to find SPEAKER_06: an adapter now if i want to have my i got my macbook uh pro here m1 it has uh four usb or one two three usbc's which is wonderful two on the side one on that side i really do love it and i always carry with me those little dongles where i can plug in the usbc SPEAKER_103: and then get the old style usb tube for it yep so i can plug in something like this usba usba so usbc to usba you can SPEAKER_102: buy anchor three packs for five bucks and i i put those dongles like i'm putting eminent m&ms in a jar i keep two i keep two in every bag i throw them in my backpacks i put them you know in my dash drawers they're cheap why can't i have the same exact thing that goes into my iphone with a lightning connection and gives me a usbc on the other side they don't nobody makes them if we had that it would be the exact same as having usbc because you would put one in the bottom of your goddamn iphone and turn your iphone with a little little just a little extra little dongle or adapter and then you could just keep a usbc by your phone by your desk by your car and keep that little dongle there and you could attach it to the end of the cable SPEAKER_06: because i have anchor cables which have the the extra dongle so i can change it from usb micro to usbc to iphone lightning why don't i have that little dongle why don't i don't know but SPEAKER_227: why do you need that little dongle is the other question i mean i would you know you it would Jason Calacanis: i would hold on to a phone longer if i had that because then i would just have one cable to charge them all but yeah like the eu has agreed to mandate usbc by 2024 and apple just dropped a phone that still has lightning i don't understand but i will say i'm not getting a new iphone until it has usbc like the 13 pro is a great phone there's no reason for me to upgrade yeah i'm just putting you guys on notice like there's no i'm not doing it yeah but now they have to replace it oh right you know this SPEAKER_02: is the thing they had to be forced into that again they are this is so lame so bad for the environment and again it's three different cables to charge like some like to charge my macbook SPEAKER_174: and watch is three different cables you got to be freaking kidding me so done we do this every time this is this rant is so tired it's so tired anyway let's move on um i SPEAKER_566: would like to do the part there's a there's a yeah but i want to do the one positive story SPEAKER_234: i just want to let's yeah let's just do this we got all want want here yeah this is a great story Jason Calacanis: actually this is fantastic so we have a terrible digital divide in this country the gap between people in america who can get broadband internet and who cannot is extreme and appalling and hits students the hardest especially during the pandemic i mean you had kids like camped out outside libraries trying to get wi-fi so that they could ridiculous you know do school work and school districts have been put on the hook in some cases for solving this they spent millions of dollars during the pandemic giving kids hot spots to take home so now seven u.s public school districts have announced or are already piloting starlink internet access for student homes for rural students homes SPEAKER_31: and it's amazing this is amazing wait it's fantastic so this is not for the school's internet they're saying we're going to pay for our students to have internet at home 400 households with 700 SPEAKER_08: students are using starlink under a 1.2 million dollar grant from covet 19 school relief money some students live in remote areas more than 50 miles away from their schools wow that's that's an hour SPEAKER_373: or more community right schools are unsure if starlink will be sustainable solution due to the cost SPEAKER_103: uh okay so yeah it's for homes it's amazing well i mean if we think about which homes cannot afford SPEAKER_577: broadband or can't get it okay there's there are two issues yeah it's both the two issues right SPEAKER_103: most i'm trying to think because i think broadband is down to 40 bucks a month SPEAKER_581: so that's you know three hours of minimum waiting everywhere yeah that would be three hours of minimum SPEAKER_103: wage in the country generally speaking or average wage so it's it's it's in within reach of almost every household we have 80 penetration i think broadband in the united states at home 70 80 so we're really dealing with a very low number of households here 42 million according to the fcc wait 42 million households don't have broadband don't have broadband okay so of those 42 how many can't afford it it's probably 10 so we might be talking about only 4 million households are it's a financial issue and then maybe the rest is because they can't get it we have to understand that number because there's three reasons they don't have it they it's not available is one which is now solved by starlink number two they can't afford it which is solved by starlink in at least half the cases SPEAKER_589: i mean and then number three is they don't want it starlink is expensive SPEAKER_102: it's yeah i think you can get it for 80 bucks a month too i think um but it's not cheap but it will SPEAKER_09: come down by 50 percent it's sure but it's 600 i don't have this equipment and 110 a month for the Jason Calacanis: service yeah i would not assume one thing i would push back on is that i wouldn't assume that the 40 a month broadband pricing is actually available in rural areas like what you're dealing with is regional monopolies a lot of times it's satellite they can kind of charge whatever they want and they do right so that you've got like maybe at&t some satellite service out there and it's 80 or 100 bucks a month because who's competing with them no one and the infrastructure doesn't exist so it is a combination it's pricing in some cases and just simple availability like there isn't so let's say SPEAKER_68: you know let's just go back to the envelope this would be like 500 a year of this will wind up being SPEAKER_06: 500 a year i bet like 40 bucks a month 50 bucks 50 bucks a month 40 bucks a month is where this is headed because there's going to be two competitors to starlink that are coming right amazon's but backing one and there's another one so i think this trends down to 40 bucks a month which is 500 a year i'm just thinking like two years out let's say of those 40 million homes half of them choose not to have broadband which i think is reasonable and then half of them is because they can't get it let's just say SPEAKER_25: of those five other research on that by the way six percent cannot get it at all six percent of the 42 million simply cannot access it got it okay it's not available yeah i'm going to go with SPEAKER_06: five million homes or need to be addressed here just for a number it could be ten it could be two let's just go with five million five hundred dollars a year five million dollars 2.5 billion dollars 2.5 billion dollars uh if you divide it by 330 million americans means that each american would have to pay seven dollars and fifty cents uh per year to get those other homes on line and now if you made it SPEAKER_103: only the responsibility of the top 10 percent of society i.e you and i in terms of our our salaries SPEAKER_19: that would be 33 million americans if 33 million americans i'm talking about me you molly and anybody SPEAKER_103: else who is hearing my voice who makes over six figures a year in household income top 10 right or maybe a little bit more than that in household income it would cost us all but 75 dollars in extra tax a year to take the bottom of society in terms of need the most needy to get those five million SPEAKER_08: households online and each household will have three people in it so you're talking about you know the bottom five percent is 15 percent um and i'm just talking about in terms of income you know i'm not i'm not making a judgment on anybody's character but uh the lowest income i guess would be the nicest SPEAKER_06: way to say it i'm trying to be sensitive right so the top 10 percent want to take care of the lowest five percent in terms of income it cost us but seventy five dollars a year molly may i ask you a SPEAKER_88: question may i tax you 75 a year to take care of the weakest amongst our society okay may i charge SPEAKER_08: you please 150 dollars yes 100 300 can i charge you 300 a year a dollar a day for you to help these SPEAKER_31: other people yeah for sure okay so anyway what are we talking about here pay for it just pay for it just pay for it charge the top 10 of society 75 dollars a year i'm sorry for cursing and just give these people broadband because they can't be part of society without being part of broadband SPEAKER_323: i it's an easy easy easy easy thing for us to do in society there's nothing controversial here just do SPEAKER_34: it i love your socialist outlook here i can't wait to tell you i can't wait to tell you about the 200 billion dollars that we taxpayers gave um all of these telco providers to build out their infrastructure SPEAKER_203: and they know they didn't they didn't do it well this is why private markets are so important Jason Calacanis: competition covet yes boom like now starlink exists suck it at t you have no more excuses SPEAKER_103: at t take a long hard look in the mirror you're horrible humans uh horrible horrible human beings SPEAKER_08: and a shout out to my guy uh for you know this is going to be a big part of his legacy i think like a really bright awesome part of his legacy um and i'm really excited for him and for all these people SPEAKER_06: who can't get access to the internet because let's face it if you have access to the internet you're gonna you're gonna do really well you're gonna do really well you know and everything's gonna go your way literally you can learn anything you want like i'm gonna try to figure anything but i'd say nine out of ten skills that are important in the world you can just go on youtube and learn i mean i SPEAKER_08: really would like to hear somebody tell me 10 skills that you can't go on youtube and get to 50 60 70 percent provision you know proficiency matrix we live in the matrix you can SPEAKER_62: jack in like freaking neo in the matrix and you can learn whatever you need to learn just do it i mean SPEAKER_08: as a society listen i'm not a socialist i am a pragmatist what i will tell you is as a pragmatist SPEAKER_06: if this 75 investment for the top 10 of society means that there'll be more people to work at my company more people um who don't make bad decisions in their life because they feel helpless and not part of society and then they do something that's not constructive for anybody um you know like more SPEAKER_620: founders more more founders more entrepreneurs more developers more just people contributing to SPEAKER_06: society and also a happier society and so for me to be able to drop 75 bucks uh which let's be honest is what i'm going to drop on the stupid lobster salad today when i'm meeting with the reality tv producers to go full circle because i want to impress them to make sure they understand that i'm SPEAKER_08: going to order the most expensive salad so that they have respect for me because they only respect people who have money and that's how society works and i'm just gaming society i'm gonna spend 75 SPEAKER_566: bucks on a salad you know with the tip and everything i i don't care like just please pay for this SPEAKER_10: get it done okay everybody that's it for the news next up molly's gonna join me for the blueprint SPEAKER_06: episode nine i know i'm so honored hey everybody welcome back to the blueprint this is part nine of our 10 part quick hit mini series we're trying to do things in 10 15 minutes or less that help you SPEAKER_475: dramatically and when i say dramatically i mean like they just alter the course of your life we've done eight of these they've gone really well i've gotten incredible feedback on these and i thought i would bring my partner in crime my sister my mollywood to talk about being delusional and setting absurd goals inside an organization and for yourself uh welcome to the blueprint for the first time SPEAKER_624: mollywood i'm so excited the blueprint is my favorite well you know listen you have become SPEAKER_475: extraordinarily successful and i think it's something that people should also hear about SPEAKER_103: you went from uh you know a small town and uh wound up i'd seen at the new york times npr public radio whatever marketplace i'm not sure which part of public radio that was part of but these are like three of the top names in fact the three top names probably in technology and reporting uh that there are this is like as high as big as it gets and then uh you became a venture capitalist which six or seven journalists have ever done in history michael moritz myself o malik mg siegler it's a short list so you know this better than anybody poor guy he's joking jason's like SPEAKER_06: no i mean you do know it better than anybody um so how did you appreciate how did you manifest it because let's face it also you were a um i'm not sure if you're aware of this you were also a woman in tech um during an era when there were very few and the women in tech in the 90s into the 2000s were in relegated to positions of pr and marketing and very rarely even reporting because hey that was serious guy stuff but you could certainly do pr how did you have the chutzpah uh and what was it like to sort Jason Calacanis: of break into that well i mean this is perfect actually i think because the thing we want to talk about today is this idea of sort of magical thinking of not being held back by logistics or of using logistics in your favor and so i mean the the simplest answer in the first place is of series of happy accidents but what i really did become in my career is an intrapreneur so at cnet SPEAKER_34: we were not only reporting on the digital transition we were building it right we were creating of the one of the first video portals on the web at the same time as contemporaries with youtube we were creating Jason Calacanis: podcasting we were developing crms that we would you know content management systems that were cms's that we would then sell to other publishing companies i uh wrote a business plan for a 30-minute broadcast quality web show that we then used to get a video on demand deal with microsoft so there was a SPEAKER_34: lot of sort of internal building that was predicated on the idea that i would have a crazy idea but that it could get done and that if somebody was like that's a crazy idea i would be like that's not the point SPEAKER_06: the point is how can we do it now when you were hired they hired you to be talent if i'm correct SPEAKER_31: and i would like to understand when you decided okay you know here i am being the on-air talent did they allow you encourage you or dissuade you from writing the business plan from researching the SPEAKER_06: technology that's out there and saying hey this is the direction we should go in both as talent and as a woman in tech because both of those things i would think would be headwinds SPEAKER_34: at that scene actually i was totally just a little grunt reporter who was who was spotted and developed SPEAKER_25: into talent and then i was encouraged to come up with show ideas and write a business plan for the SPEAKER_34: show and so it all it all depends on where you are and and how willing they are to engage in that type of magical thinking for example cnet was like let's go let's develop a video portal let's invent SPEAKER_642: podcasting why why would see that like that and why was new york times i assume not like that right new york times not like that okay so explain to people who are young in their careers of why like SPEAKER_19: a an older institution like the new york times versus a startup like cnet which had a startup which which literally was a startup why the the difference in going to work at those two places and what the pros and the cons are for people who are starting their career here and looking at your blueprint SPEAKER_24: for you know becoming mollywood it is i love that this is the blueprint for becoming mollywood that SPEAKER_34: was a you i didn't see that one coming um startups have a different mentality because they have not yet Jason Calacanis: found the core of their business and they don't have such brand legacy kind of brand detritus in a way so they can try new things they can experiment with they're also trying to experiment with new business models right because you're trying to grow your business you're trying to figure out what your business is going to become what is your ultimate product market fit what other products can you add on that might be additive revenue and then what happens is that's a very fun time to be at a company and you have a lot of people who really want to achieve and you know they're hitters and you're playing with a team and you're developing and developing and developing what happens as a company grows or becomes legacy like the new york times or cnet after cbs bought it is that eventually you do have a core business model and if you're not part of that core business model it can be a lot less fun and your entrepreneurial streak will be less welcome so at the new york times you know tech is not their core business model it's just not so i had two things going for me or against me there one i was covering tech at the new york times now they did put money into covering tech it's like a big story but they didn't really know how to do it and what they really value is like being a foreign correspondent or SPEAKER_34: politics coverage yeah so i would say wherever you are try to be close to the core of power because you will get more resource you'll have more freedom and you'll be able to play a little bit more with SPEAKER_31: your job so there are there are in fact organizations that are encouraging innovation play new ideas new projects and then there are ones who are concerned about damaging the core products that they've spent a century or two building and refining the new york times has something to lose their reputation SPEAKER_06: you know the the quality of the expectation of when somebody comes to a new york times thing that it has it hits a certain standard cnet people may have never heard of it the first time they hear about it might be this new podcast web show it might be this new blog it might be this new tick tock SPEAKER_103: channel so they're going to allow young people starting in their career to maybe have a little more interest in their career but they're going to see how much of their mission is to innovate on a business model SPEAKER_02: yeah i think this is um really important for people to consider the stage the age and the brand of your company matters a lot when companies are building and they're trying to establish themselves you Jason Calacanis: will have some more freedom or when you get to marketplace which is american public media no one knows the difference between them and npr but they're both big national public radio brands and kind of you have an aging business model and a need for innovation and then you can have some fun too then you can really be the intrapreneur you can come up with i like to call them the moonshots like you know i was like hey guys let's do a deeply reported four-year ongoing series about climate tech and then cap it off with a eight episode narrative podcast about lithium and SPEAKER_295: battery technology and they'll be like this is that sounds awesome you go to cnet this is the SPEAKER_103: blueprint for becoming mollywood you go to cnet they give you a lot of freedom there's nothing to lose you go to new york times you get massive credibility yeah then you go to you know uh marketplace npr and they're having their lunch eaten by podcasts and other competitors so now they're like you know what we do need to innovate we do need a little of that pixie dust we do need to try new things and you pick a category that is underreported and that is going to be important in the world so you found a topic that you could connect yourself to and you could skate to where the puck is going as wayne gresky would say of why he was such a good hockey player he wasn't skating to where the puck was he was thinking about where it's going now if you go a little bit to where the puck's going there may not SPEAKER_102: be anybody there you may get there and it's kind of lonely and so this is a little bit of a skill to SPEAKER_475: pick something and be a little risk-taking maybe unpack a little bit of how you identify that as something that not only were you passionate about which is important but that was important to the SPEAKER_234: world i think that is so that's a really good observation and it's 100 true and it was true Jason Calacanis: at the time that we that i was you know identifying tech topics like i think considering the tech press i was relatively early to be i have a video from 2009 that says is facebook evil like i skated a SPEAKER_34: little bit to the like hey guys maybe tech isn't as great as we all think it is yeah it could be Jason Calacanis: downside here yeah could be a little bit of a downside um at the new york times and certainly at marketplace i worked really hard to reframe tech as the biggest business story in the world as these companies were starting to become the biggest businesses in the world and to say i know you think that tech is a topic but tech the tech beat what i saw is that the tech beat was becoming the SPEAKER_02: electricity beat like what what is there to cover about tech tech is it is all it's everything there SPEAKER_103: is nothing that is not a tech is life so it's impacting every aspect of life there is nothing that is not being impacted and now the reward for getting there early yep um is something i think we SPEAKER_06: need to discuss so when you're picking like this new project to do and you're picking a new topic and you're trying to manifest it you go into it i assume with well obviously this is going to be SPEAKER_103: important and part of my job is to get people over here to join us right we're all over here where the puck is y'all are back there talking about you know websites we really kind of need to talk about SPEAKER_102: temperature batteries solar you know evs and everything else that's happening there it it's kind of fun to get there early it's like the and have people arrive speak to the credit you get when you do SPEAKER_103: hit that because you could make a mistake you say hey listen i you could be in the same time period in 2009 you could have said listen i think this you know vr thing is going to change everything and you could have went over there and nobody shows up for your party which is basically what's happened with vr right like you're sitting there like waiting for people now listen it might when apple shows up with their headset and ar shows up maybe that party is going to be kicking but a lot of people i know started making investments or building companies and they thought well vr's here i'm talking about before oculus was even owned by facebook meta it used to be an independent company that did a kickstarter and like people thought this is it in 2005 to 2010 and it wasn't yeah so maybe talk about the benefits of actually when you do hit it it just could be 10 years like you're SPEAKER_19: skating through the puck's going and by the way like yeah it's it's still moving he's you still got to go a little further down the ice so let's talk about that of getting it right like what is the what SPEAKER_103: what have you seen is the reward for having gotten climate right i think that the reward is Jason Calacanis: for me at least now getting to pivot into a really active role in this business this developing business story and getting to write checks that can enable businesses and companies to flourish and jobs to be created i am of the opinion after 22 years in journalism that you don't actually get credit for the work that you do and so it doesn't really matter like it's great that i got there early maybe i'll get you know more speaking gigs out of it but now is now and you know i for a long time i would go SPEAKER_02: into conversations thinking these people must know about my body of work they must know about buzz out loud from back in the day or the how we survive podcast series which is like the best journalism Jason Calacanis: work i ever did they don't i just assume that they don't maybe there is a universe in which i will become the karis wisher of climate tech and i hope that's the case and i'm going to work hard at it but the safest assumption you should have as a person who's trying to build a new thing is that no one knows what you did before all they know is what you're telling them now and the plan that you're bringing them and that plan has to say here's how we both benefit that plan can never be you know here's what will make me awesome it's like we will both win we will both make money here i'll tell you what SPEAKER_06: it did do for you it did build credibility and that you had enthusiasm for it so you were credibly enthusiastic about it and so for me as a decision maker on the other side saying hey you know should we give this person a shot and should we we try to partner with them it was like well they're credible SPEAKER_103: and they're passionate about it and if the world notices that you have credibility about something and that you're passionate about it well that eliminates a lot of the risk for the world engaging with you and i did a similar thing in a similar time period where i just said this angel SPEAKER_102: investing thing that i did as a sequoia scout is fascinating to me and i just said to myself what if more people did this because i did this open angel forum and 10 angels would come or it started at five and then it went to 10 and then went to 15 and i was like what if we actually back a company that SPEAKER_103: becomes big and we did uber thumbtack style seat and you know a dozen others that became unicorns or SPEAKER_06: otherwise big companies and so what i did in my mind and it was quite deliberate i will say is i said SPEAKER_08: what if this was bigger than it is today what if more people participated in it and i said to myself i wonder if someday i can have a thousand people in my angel syndicate because there's 150 people in it and i had gone from five to ten to 15 people coming live and i had moved open angel to five or six cities we're doing it in boulder new york boston dc la and san francisco and i put people in charge of each one chris sacco was famously running san francisco with kevin rose and my friend brian alvey was running new york when he lived there and then all of a sudden i had six or seven cities with 10 or 15 people and it got to 100. i had the emails of 100 angel investors and i just thought SPEAKER_06: to myself what if i added a zero what if that happened and what if we hit an actual deal that became a unicorn and holy cow both of those things happened but then what i didn't realize was SPEAKER_08: i didn't actually hit a zero i actually hit two zeros in the case of uber three zeros because listen we went from a hundred angels to a thousand and now we have over ten thousand angels on the SPEAKER_103: syndicate uber went from a billion to ten and you know kind of trajectory is probably a hundred billion and so one of the things people i think underestimate is scale things can scale yeah to levels you don't SPEAKER_06: anticipate so this little podcast on climate you know five-part series four-part series whatever it is and it's seen you know a million people listen to it well then here you are this week in startups okay now we got you know whatever six months of these 30 episodes of you interviewing climate people okay it will be we'll add a zero to that and it'll be 300 uh and then maybe there'll be SPEAKER_103: you know how many people are in the climate syndicate now two or three hundred yeah okay it'll be two three thousand three thousand yeah exactly and then it might be 30 it's a snowball yes and you you really have to take a moment to just envision that and be delusional for a second yeah and i i i did that SPEAKER_19: inside of our company a couple of times and i said well what if this week in startups was every day you know like it's once a week but what if it eventually got to twice a week you know 100 episodes a year and then here we are doing six episodes a week and so i encourage people to take whatever they think the SPEAKER_103: scale of something is and then just 10 exit or add a zero or 100 exit and just think what it would do at that level and what is now happening with our syndicate is you know we could do 100 million SPEAKER_475: deployed a year and then actually if you look at it well maybe if we had three or four times the number of people here it could be a billion dollars deployed a year and so i've been just trying to SPEAKER_103: in my own mind expand the aperture and just allow myself to think about that and i i did think well SPEAKER_102: what if i was the best angel investor in history and okay we're we're kind of top 10 or whatever we are five who knows and then i said well what if i was the best investor ever in silicon valley because i got 20 years to work on it you might as well take a chance and say what if i was the most influential best person and when they write the power law book two we just had the power law author on what a great interview uh thanks for doing with me well they're gonna have to write about somebody in the next book right there'll be another book 20 years from now and when they put those two sets together we now have 1970 to 2040 that's 70 years of venture somebody will define the next 20 SPEAKER_06: years i just said to myself well why not me yeah it has to be somebody and so i encourage people who are listening just like you did why are you why not you being the number one investor in climate why not you having the largest syndicate why not you being the voice of that well somebody has to be and if you shoot for the number one and you shoot for that and you try to manifest it well at least you have a target and if you shoot for the you know if you shoot for the stars and you get the moon it's a pretty good deal so i think that's the subject here of the blueprint and um any further thoughts on this delusional manifestation uh and really trying to great create new things in the world and skating to SPEAKER_34: where the puck's going i love that the only thing that i would add to the second half
