**Jason Calacanis** (0:00)
Where are you at, Chamath?

**David Sacks** (0:01)
Look at those cabinets. I know exactly where he is.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:04)
I'm here.

**David Sacks** (0:05)
I can tell by the cabinets.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:05)
We'll beep that out.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:06)
Tomorrow I leave for and then I come home a week from Friday.

**David Sacks** (0:10)
So that means you're going to be leaving this week, so it's open next week.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:15)
So I think you're about to get a house guest.

**David Friedberg** (0:17)
Wait a second.

**David Sacks** (0:19)
The house is open. I like late season.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:21)
Cato Cailin is about to make an appearance.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:23)
Cato Cailin is about to bless the house.

**David Sacks** (0:26)
I'm going to bless that house. You can be sure. I'm going for a little Indian summer off the Italian Riviera.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:41)
And it's said we open source it to the fans and they've just gone crazy with it.

**David Sacks** (0:49)
All right, everybody. Welcome back to the number one podcast in the world, the All In Podcast. We're back and you got your original crew. Some people were wondering, are people losing their commitment to excellence? Are people out gallivanting? Would we ever see the Core Four back? August 14th, we're taping. You'll be listening on August 15th. But gentlemen, we're back. How are you doing, Chamath? You look well rested.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:16)
The Core Four.

**David Sacks** (1:17)
The Core Four.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:18)
That's new.

**David Sacks** (1:18)
Who could ask for anything more?

**Jason Calacanis** (1:20)
Would you say that the Core Four could be fantastic?

**David Sacks** (1:25)
I think on their best days, I would say they are exceptional, perhaps even tipping into fantastic.

**David Friedberg** (1:31)
Did you see it yet, Sacks?

**Jason Calacanis** (1:33)
Yeah.

**David Sacks** (1:33)
It's pretty great. I think they did a great job. Yeah.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:35)
That was pretty good, yeah.

**David Sacks** (1:37)
It's like one of those weird superhero groups that it's like a real throwback. And I don't think a lot of people get the aesthetic or what they're trying to do there. But I think you're going to love it, Friedberg. You didn't see it yet, Fantastic Four?

**David Friedberg** (1:49)
No.

**David Sacks** (1:50)
You're going to love it for the science. It's really got like a real throwback to the 50s, 60s science kind of aesthetic. Wrapping up summer months here in a couple of weeks will be in LA for the All-In Summit. A couple of tickets still available, allin.com/eventsor/yada, yada, yada for the Jay Cal discount. Friedberg, how's your summer going? You doing OK over there, buddy? You showed up last week. You showed up last week.
No weeks off for you.

**David Friedberg** (2:18)
I had a beautiful mountain bike ride yesterday with Xander. We ended up going on for quite a while. Having a birthday dinner with Jason Kuhn tonight. Happy birthday, Jason Kuhn.

**David Sacks** (2:29)
Happy birthday to Jason Kuhn. I mean, what a privilege for us to play with a professional poker player so regularly like Jason Kuhn in the home game. We've always wanted to. We've been playing this home game for two decades and we never had a pro there. We never had somebody who truly had achieved excellence in the field. And so it's like getting to be on the court with like Michael Jordan or something. It's like a real thrill for Phil Hellmuth was really excited too.

**David Friedberg** (2:54)
Yeah. Yeah.

**David Sacks** (2:55)
Did Phil get a selfie with him or an autograph?

**David Friedberg** (2:58)
Cut it out. Phil's going to get mad. Oh no, we're going to have to do another apology to Phil. Do another apology letter. Do the apology now, Jay Cal. I'll just do a pre-apology.
Pre-apology. I'd like to pre-apologize too.

**David Sacks** (3:12)
Beep, lucky. Mark Zuckerberg. Sacksy Poo, how are you? Are you a little rest and relaxation for you?

**David Friedberg** (3:22)
Yeah.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:23)
We just got back from Diego's birthday party in the UK.

**David Sacks** (3:26)
Oh, very nice.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:27)
Another one of those destination birthdays. I mean, so many of these destinations.

**David Sacks** (3:33)
Oh, God. It's like three of summer retirement parties. John Haring's having a retirement party. I don't know what kind of flex that is. The kid's like 31 years old. He's like, I got into SpaceX.

**David Friedberg** (3:44)
I retired.

**David Sacks** (3:45)
I was like, I'm in Uber. I'm still working.

**David Friedberg** (3:48)
What are you going to do for the next 60 years?

**David Sacks** (3:50)
