Oktula, he's ready to go.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:02)
Is that official merch?

**David Sacks** (0:03)
I got it online, so I hope she's getting royalties. I hope it's not a Fugazi.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:09)
Fugazi, Fugazi?

**David Sacks** (0:11)
What's up with your outfit, J. Cal? You going on Fox News again?

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:15)
Dude, he just signed on to become a contributor every week.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:20)
He's a contributor. They're paying me.

**David Sacks** (0:25)
That's hysterical. Wait, what? For real, for real.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:29)
Yeah, he's the newest contributor.

**David Sacks** (0:30)
Oh my God, that's incredible. Do they know you have TDS?

**Jason Calacanis** (0:33)
Fox Business loves me. No, they're looking for a moderate. They want a moderate independent thinker and they love Nostracanis.
They're branding Nostracanis.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:42)
He has to finish this in two hours because he's taping with Jesse Waters.

**David Sacks** (0:45)
Oh my God. Honestly, I will say that I saw both of your appearances on Jesse Waters and I thought you crushed both of them.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:51)
Totally. You were excellent.

**David Sacks** (0:53)
I think it's actually a good move for them. I like the idea.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:55)
Sacks, you would love for me to be a contributor on Fox.

**David Sacks** (0:59)
I would.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:00)
You would.
I'm pulling your leg. I'm pulling your leg. I'm pulling your leg.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:03)
They haven't made the offer.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:04)
They haven't made the offer.

**David Sacks** (1:05)
I want your training to continue, young Paduan.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:07)
Oh, really? This is like, I will bring balance to the force.

**David Sacks** (1:11)
Yes, yes.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:12)
I'm the chosen one.

**David Sacks** (1:13)
You're the chosen one.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:14)
You are my brother Anakin!

**David Friedberg** (1:16)
You are supposed to bring brownies to the force, Anakin!

**Jason Calacanis** (1:36)
Alright everybody. Welcome back to the number one podcast in the world. It's been confirmed by the CEO of Beep, who told us we are the Beep podcast on his platform.
It's episode 186 from the home office in Italy, the chairman dictator, Chamath Palihapitiya. How are you doing, brother?

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:58)
Hello, Jason. How are you?

**Jason Calacanis** (2:00)
We're good. We're good. We can see that we are definitely in July now because we have one button to go for August.
And so it's kind of like the sundial. You know, the Greeks, we created the sundial, math, plumbing, philosophy, democracy, all these great things. And the Italians, you guys created bare chests.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:20)
Can I tell you how good Italian white wine is on a hot, humid day?
It may be the closest thing to ambrosia in modern society. It's just so good.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:33)
Is that your sports drink? It's just like you get off the... I can picture you on like a treadmill.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:37)
I drink so much white wine during the summertime and I eat gelato every day. And I tend to still lose a couple pounds by the time I get home.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:45)
Well, a lot of walking, a lot of walking. Let me ask you this. Have you ever had a glass of wine while working out? Has that happened? Have you ever been tempted?
Be honest.
You brought wine to the gym? I knew it. I knew it. That's the level of...

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:02)
But...

**Jason Calacanis** (3:04)
God, did you open the wine bottle in the gym or did you just tap it in half a glass?

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:09)
No, I opened it. It had to breathe.
I went and then I had somebody just bring me a little sippy poops just so I could see if it was opening up properly.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:18)
Were you on the treadmill or are you doing weights? You're on the weight bench when you sip?

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:21)
Yeah, I was pushing weight.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:23)
Okay, pushing weight.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:24)
Okay.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:24)
Back in 88 Okay. And getting ready, according to reports, I don't know if we can talk about this, but David Sacks is in the think tank, getting ready for his RNC debut. How are you, Rainman? Yeah, definitely, definitely giving a keynote.

**David Sacks** (3:41)
Well, I wasn't supposed to talk about that, but I saw that someone leaked it to the New York Times this morning, so it's out there.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:47)
Okay.

**David Sacks** (3:48)
And yeah, I'm going to be speaking there next week.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:50)
Great. Any theme that you're going for? You can give us a little idea of maybe a theme or two that you want to...
