**David Friedberg** (0:00)
Friedberg is punchy now.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:01)
Getting punchy all of a sudden, he's punch-drug.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:03)
Salty Friedberg reminds me of a story for this weekend. We're waiting in line to go to the Encore Beach Club to see Kygo.
And- Me and Friedberg are at the back of the line. Everybody else has gotten through. All you guys are filtering into the booth.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:16)
Kygo is tight.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:17)
And Friedberg has, and they say to take out your pockets, so I put out my phone. That's all I have, my key card.
Friedberg takes out a phone, his key card, and a small bag of the Salt & Vicar salted pistachios.

**David Friedberg** (0:32)
Oh, he travels with them? He will leave home without them. So he has his little bag of pistachios. And they're like, no food in the club. The guy says, no food in the club.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:41)
And he goes, what do you mean no food? This is in a bag. It's like, it's just pistachios. Just pistachios. They get into an argument back and forth, back and forth. He's like, I'm gonna take a stand. This is outrageous.
I said, Friedberg, come on, let's just go. So we go inside.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:53)
This is where he takes a stand.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:55)
And then he's like, can you believe it? They took my fucking pistachios. Like these are my pistachios. He's tilted. He's tilted.

**David Friedberg** (1:00)
He's easily tilted.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:01)
And then on the way out, he's like, if I see that guy eating these pistachios.

**David Friedberg** (1:05)
And I thought, this is a fucking curb your enthusiasm skit right here. Are those my pistachios?

**Jason Calacanis** (1:12)
He's salty about those salty pistachios.

**David Friedberg** (1:14)
That guy was walking through the casino later eating the pistachios.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:17)
I fell in love with Friedberg this weekend. I had so much fun with this fucking guy. Oh my God.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:21)
There he is in the club.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:22)
He's such a, he's so.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:24)
He was living his best life in the club.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:26)
Nick, show the bigger picture. Nick, just zoom out so you can see.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:28)
Oh, there I am. Yeah, I'm right next to him. There's me.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:31)
Look at how huge my ass looks.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:33)
God, that's a lot of, that's a lot of ass.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:35)
That is a lot. No, show that ass, Nick. Look at that huge dumper.
That's incredible.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:39)
And what's going on with those? Look at that gut. Are those underwear?

**David Friedberg** (1:42)
Whose gut is that, Jay Kels?

**Jason Calacanis** (1:43)
That's my gut, but I think it's just the T-shirt. I think it's just the T-shirt.

**David Sacks** (1:47)
You obviously stopped the Azempec.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:49)
No, I'm still, I'm still sideways. I'm still sideways. 175

**David Sacks** (1:55)
You put it right back on, didn't you?

**David Friedberg** (1:56)
Vegas was so fun. I gotta say, I gotta shout out to those guys that run that Delilah joint. I think that's like the best new restaurant in Vegas.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:03)
A little loud. I wish it would just go like one notch lower on the volume for the old people world.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:08)
Once you hit 50, all the clubs are too old.
With us again on The All-In Podcast, the architect himself, crazy hair doesn't care, David Sacks. Friedberg is committing suicide in the bottom of a pool. Apparently, he just cannot take all the adulation and insight.

**David Friedberg** (2:42)
That's a leaving Las Vegas scene.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:44)
Exactly. That's you leaving Vegas down 150 dimes, which you could have given to DeSantis like Sacks did.
And hot off of his wonderful weekend, the afterglow of Vegas, Chamath Palihapitiya. We went to Vegas to play cards. It was a wonderful weekend. We had a great time. Everybody bonded. A lot of laughs were had.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:06)
Wonderful time.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:07)
Wonderful time.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:08)
Wonderful time.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:09)
I got into craps. I was never a craps guy, but I had one of those like-

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:13)
How great was Jay Cowling craps?

**Jason Calacanis** (3:15)
Oh my God. I had a 40 die roll run. It was incredible. There's something about that game that is like super addicting to me.
When you just go on a 40 die roll.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:26)
I think craps really is one of the best gambling games ever created.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:33)
So exciting.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:34)
It's so exciting.
