Good, good.

Yeah, you're good.
**David Sacks** (0:21)
Well, good.
**Jason Calacanis** (0:22)
Haircut looks good. Now, do you go to the barber, the stylist? They come to you. Everybody wants to know.
**David Sacks** (0:26)
They come to me.
**David Friedberg** (0:27)
Yeah, of course, of course, of course, of course.
**Jason Calacanis** (0:30)

Celebrated birthday with Jason Kuhn yesterday. Happy 39th Jason Kuhn.
We did a long mountain bike ride with our other buddy Zee and had a little family barbecue last night. Everyone had a good time.
**Jason Calacanis** (1:06)
What did you do? Portobello mushrooms? What did you do? You put a little zucchini on the grill?
**David Friedberg** (1:10)
Let's just say I show up with my own food to a barbecue.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:12)
Absolutely you do.
**Jason Calacanis** (1:14)
All right. Everybody's favorite, the chairman dictator, Chamath Palihapitiya. You love him, you hate him, but you can't ignore him. How you doing? Look at the number of buttons here. You got the mouth collar on, and I don't think any of those buttons are buttoned.
**David Friedberg** (1:30)
None of them are buttoned.
**Jason Calacanis** (1:31)
None of them are buttoned. You became a meme once again. Once again, the All-In podcast creating memes. You were swirling. You were swirling a little white wine last week. You were in the arena, and I'm putting up all the numbers, going macro, and you're swirling wine. The audience loved it. What's going on today? Do you have a bottle?
**David Friedberg** (1:48)
That was a 2019 Cadillabozco, really, really good.
**Jason Calacanis** (1:53)
Can you tell us the flavor profile, the notes? What did you get as you were swirling?
**David Friedberg** (1:58)
There was some plum, there's a little truffle there, the boysenberries.
**Jason Calacanis** (2:03)
Little boysenberry, fantastic.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:04)
A little moth.
**David Sacks** (2:05)
It was a touch of inflation with a hint of unemployment.
**David Friedberg** (2:10)
There we go.
**David Sacks** (2:22)
And instead, we open source it to the fans and they've just gone crazy with it.
**Jason Calacanis** (2:30)
Well, you know, boys, I had a big week. I had a big week this week. I'm at the lake still, but I made a little trip to Silicon Valley. I was hanging out with Rulof at Sequoia and as I'm prone to do, I love to go to Bucks. You guys been to Bucks before in Woodside?
**David Friedberg** (2:44)
Yeah, I went once and I've never been back since.
**Jason Calacanis** (2:48)
Okay. Well, it's my favorite place to get breakfast or get my little tune them out. I've been going there for ages. It's a little bit of a legendary place where Steve Jervison made the Hotmail investment, the Tesla investment, all kinds of famous stuff happens at Bucks.
**David Sacks** (3:00)
Well, it's where PayPal got its first funding round, where John Malloy from Nokia Ventures beamed the money to Peter and Max at Bucks.
**Jason Calacanis** (3:09)
On a Palm Pilot.
**David Sacks** (3:10)
On a Palm Pilot, way back in 1999
**Jason Calacanis** (3:13)
Yeah. For those people who don't know, Palm Pilot was the most innovative and poorly designed product.
**David Friedberg** (3:18)
That was Jay Cal's rake name in college.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:22)
My God, well done, Chamath. So good.
**Jason Calacanis** (3:25)
So good. But I'm wearing my Bucks hat and I got my Bucks menu here. Boys, it was like a pinnacle of my career. I've been waiting for this. If you go to Bucks and you look at the side, you can get your crispy Brussels sprouts there, Friedberg, get your sweet potato fries. But there it is. Jay Cal's onion rings are now on the menu at Bucks. I have hit the big leagues, folks.
**David Friedberg** (3:48)
Wait, is that real? Did you really get that?
**Jason Calacanis** (3:50)
I did. I'm the first person.
**David Friedberg** (3:52)
But do you like onion rings?
