Honestly, I think this is, like, the most fun Christmas party we've had.
**Jason Calacanis** (0:04)
Ever.
**Jason Calacanis** (0:04)
Ever. And probably the most fun event we've ever had is because of Tony here.
**Jason Calacanis** (0:10)
Please welcome the one, the only Tony Hinchcliffe.
**Tony Hinchcliffe** (0:16)
What the fuck's up, you goddamn nerds?
**Jason Calacanis** (0:21)
Tony, any chance we could play Kill Tony tonight?
**Tony Hinchcliffe** (0:24)
You guys want to play Kill Tony here? So you guys prepared for this? You know how it works?
**Jason Calacanis** (0:31)
We know how it works. I don't know if we're prepared.
**Tony Hinchcliffe** (0:33)
I wasn't expecting to have to do this tonight, but I think I just found a new golden ticket winner.
**SPEAKER_4** (0:43)
Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for your besties. David Friedberg.
**Jason Calacanis** (1:18)
Well, welcome, everybody, to the second annual All In Holiday Party. Yes, thank you for coming. This is going to be an incredible lineup. We've got so many great moments for you tonight. Unfortunately, unfortunately, Chamath couldn't make it tonight. I know it's hard, it's hard, but we have a pretty great replacement that you're going to love.
Friedberg, tell them what's coming.
**David Friedberg** (1:48)
Hold on, let me get my script.
**Jason Calacanis** (1:51)
Wow, so professional.
**David Friedberg** (1:52)
Let me do the sponsor shout-out.
**Jason Calacanis** (1:54)
Oh yeah, let me do the sponsor shout-out so you don't do it and we lose them. I would like to thank Google Cloud for their incredible servers.
Yes, thank you Google Cloud Circle for StableCoins, OKX, thanks for all the love, GROK, SonicFlights, IREN has got an incredible lounge. Thanks again for all of our sponsors. Give them a big round of applause. We're going to have a great night. Man, the casino, everything is here.
**David Friedberg** (2:25)
Tonight we are going to have the legendary Bestie Awards. We have some roasting and we are all going to play Kill Tony.
**David Sacks** (2:33)
What?
**Jason Calacanis** (2:36)
We're going to play Kill Tony?
**David Friedberg** (2:37)
We are going to play Kill Tony.
**Jason Calacanis** (2:39)
Thanks for letting me know.
**David Friedberg** (2:41)
How many here are big fans of Kill Tony?
**Jason Calacanis** (2:45)
That's incredible. Well then, let's just bring out the one.
**David Friedberg** (2:50)
Chamath's replacement.
**Jason Calacanis** (2:51)
Chamath's permanent replacement on the program. The three of us voted him off the island. Please welcome the one, the only Tony Hinchcliffe.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:07)
Look at this. Fuck yeah. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.
**Tony Hinchcliffe** (3:22)
What the fuck's up, you goddamn nerds? How about a hand for the AllIn podcast, Christmas party? We're here in San Francisco. Make some noise. You guys live here in San Francisco? What a shithole. It's actually worse than a shithole. You could actually use a shithole here to put the shit into that's on the streets. A shithole would be an actual upgrade. It used to be so beautiful here. You guys remember? Remember the intro to Full House? That house is still full because 23 Somalians live in it now.
Put your phones away, you assholes. You can watch this on video form later, you fucking dorks. Everybody wants their own exclusive. I'm going to make it tonight. I'm going to have a... My YouTube channel is going to get extra hits. California, more homeless people than any other state. People are struggling and you assholes paid 500 bucks to watch billionaires talk to each other. God bless America.
Look, billionaires don't have it easy. Do you have any idea how hard it is for a billionaire to pretend like they like their kids?
I had to research these guys, and it was the most exhausting thing I've ever done. Absolute dorks. But then I watched Mountain Head on the plane, and then Big Bang Theory and Succession, and then Brokeback Mountain, and I think I figured it out. As many of you know, these gentlemen started the All-In podcast at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. It saw massive success very quickly, which makes sense. People were isolated and looking for relatable content, and what's more relatable than four venture capitalists playing high-stakes poker? Their combined net worth of the four hosts is over $3 billion. You guys realize you don't have to do a podcast, right?
**Jason Calacanis** (5:54)
Jay Cal does.
**Tony Hinchcliffe** (6:02)
Whenever anyone is asked what they would do if they had a billion dollars, I've never heard the answer, attend weekly Zoom calls. I do love the current landscape of podcasts though. Like, how is my show even considered on the same playing field as what you guys do? It's crazy, right? You can listen to four experts educated on economics and technology, and within seconds, you can switch over to my show and listen to an Elon Musk impersonator roasting an aspiring comedian with cerebral palsy. These guys are all actual friends with Elon Musk. They told me that backstage, and then they told me their names.
