How many PRs you think are going to get pushed to the core structural internet in 100 days? What's the over-under number? Because I'll give you a number.

**Brad Gerstner** (0:06)
You're going to say zero. My answer to that is...

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:09)
I'll say like 10,000, but it's going to be a meaningless thing.

**Brad Gerstner** (0:11)
But if it prevents your browser history from being released to everybody in the world, Chamath, that may be something that you're willing to, you know, let 100 days pass on.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:19)
I think you got Chamath's attention when you said browser history.

**David Sacks** (0:21)
What about the dick pics?

**Jason Calacanis** (0:25)
Because Chamath is, he's going to release them himself.

**David Sacks** (0:37)
And instead, we open source it to the fans and they've just gone crazy with it.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:45)
All right, everybody. Welcome back to the number one podcast in the world. David Friedberg is out this week, but in his place, the one, the only, our fifth bestie, Brad Gerstner.

**Brad Gerstner** (0:56)
I mean, why don't you ever give me puts a little namaste in your payday anymore? You used to be the greatest moderator, but now it's just this kind of label.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:06)
You know what? These guys beat me up. They beat me up and they just beat the joy out of me doing this program.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:13)
That's because you're a Ro Khanna apologist.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:15)
No, no, I will get into it. OK, save it for the f***, Ro Khanna apologist. Just because I said like, hey, they've stopped retard maxing and they've started doing like some logical things. Yeah, OK.

**Brad Gerstner** (1:29)
It was great to be here. Great to be here.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:31)
Good to have you here. And of course, we have David Sacks is back. Everybody wants to hear from David Sacks. We missed you last week, Besty.

**David Sacks** (1:40)
We didn't beat the joy out of you. We just tried to beat some of the hot air. Any fluff that you can put on the show that involves you talking and saying nothing is the stuff we got to cut out.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:55)
OK, yeah, cut it right out. We'll cut it out and we'll just put a promo in for thesyndicate.com. Thank you. Also with us, Chamath Palihapitiya is here. How's your retard maxing going since last week? Did you have a retard maxing full weekend? Did you have a good full weekend of just smoking cigars in the back deck and not ruminating about all the chaos you've caused in the last 20 years?

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:17)
I think I've done generally more good than not.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:22)
Oh, you have, but there's been some chaotic moments. Don't think about it, Chamath.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:26)
Of course. Bro, you can't have ups without downs, man. It's like, what are you there to do? Just like placate everybody and be a loser? Are you there to be a winner?

**Jason Calacanis** (2:34)
Yes, you're in the arena, but have you stopped going to there after realizing you're ruminating?

**David Sacks** (2:40)
What's up with this sudden interest in retard maxing? Are you like that clavicular for retard maxing?

**Jason Calacanis** (2:47)
No. The world finally caught up with me. That's it. I mean, I've been retard maxing this whole time. They just didn't have a name for it, guys.

**David Sacks** (2:54)
Oh, okay.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:55)
Eli's videos are really good. I watched two more this week.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:59)
Take us through what's so appealing about not ruminating, smoking a cigar, and just living your life.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:05)
Because what he says actually works at every level of society and every sort of thing that you may want to achieve. Even if you're trying to climb the rungs, you very quickly learn that the more you want something, the less you're going to get it. I think that's his real message is let go, live life, and just try stuff or don't try stuff. I think that that detachment is really healthy for people. I like it. I like it a lot.

**David Sacks** (3:35)
Who's the guy that says this? I actually didn't know.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:37)
Eli Shalong. But Eli, I think, is how he goes by it. But he's fantastic. Mark Andreessen found him, and he's like, this guy is the new guy.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:49)
Modern day philosopher. He gives you a roadmap for how to live your life, right? A new age sage.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:54)
What's the name of the guy, the character's name from Dune?

**Jason Calacanis** (3:57)
I was into girls. I didn't read these books. I was dating girls.
