Okay, we're here.
I got Sam and Andrew Wilkinson is here. We are doing a end of the year SuperMega podcast, breaking it down. We did preparation for this one. So if you notice a difference, if you're thinking to yourself, huh, this podcast is better than the usual podcast. That's because we really tried for this one. And so we have a bunch of kind of like end of the year, I don't know, questions, awards, and we're each just gonna give our hot take on each of them. So this is gonna be the big 2020 pod.
Are you guys the type where like, right now, anytime I talk to somebody about 2020, they're like, oh man, that 2020 fucking sucked. That's just like the default thing that everybody says. Do you say that? Or like, it kind of sounds bad to not say that, because obviously people are dying everywhere and stuff. It's, you know, you don't want to be like, oh, 2020 has been awesome. But how do you guys talk about 2020?

**Sam Parr** (1:34)
I think 2020 has been great. I mean, I don't think it's been bad. It's just, there's just been change. So I think it's been awesome. I've enjoyed it.

**Andrew Wilkinson** (1:40)
I feel like it makes it easy to be grateful, right? Cause you see all these people who have it so hard right now, or their families have been deeply affected. And I feel like living in Canada where I am, we've been super lucky. It's been like New Zealand here. There's been very few cases.
My wife and I were watching a movie last night and it depicted World War II. And we're like, okay, like we have it. Oh, so we hang out in our jambies in the house and watch Netflix. Like, oh wow, this is brutal. So I feel like I'm just grateful.
Right.

**Shaan Puri** (2:11)
It's like I have to be quarantined, you know, in my house with the internet while being healthy and like, you know, pushing buttons and getting groceries delivered to me.
This can't be that bad. All right, so we should get started. We break it down into three sections. We have awards.
We have kind of like predictions slash investments.
And then we have ideas. I guess we have one more. We also have like personal, like life. And so we're gonna go through all four of these. And I don't know how long this is gonna take. So we should get started and we should go for it. So without further ado, and by the way, these are called The Millies. If you're listening to this, you don't have the video. I'll bring you maybe a special background that looks like the Oscars. It's called The Millies. This is our annual award ceremony. And so we're going to go through The Millies first.
The first Millie is for the Billy of the Year, right? We do the Billy of the Week, which is the billionaire of the week that we like to feature somebody who's built a huge fortune doing something interesting. And so Billy of the Year goes to, and each one of us is going to give our answer. So let's start with Sam. Sam, who is your Billy of the Year?

**Sam Parr** (3:14)
Billy of the Year, 2020, got to go to Chuck Feeney. Chuck Feeney got popular because he made something like 10 or 20 billion through duty free shoppers.
This year, we talked about him in February, a year ago. Officially has given away his entire fortune other than a million dollars and a San Francisco apartment.

**Shaan Puri** (3:31)
And so he's the Billy of the Year because of the giveaway?

**Sam Parr** (3:33)
Yeah, because he gave it all away. I like guys who can make it. And then I love the idea of giving it all away. And he did it all in one lifetime. I like it.

**Shaan Puri** (3:41)
Andrew, who did you have as your Billy of the Year?

**Andrew Wilkinson** (3:44)
Mine was Mark Leonard. Do you guys know who Mark Leonard is?
