Do you want to see something? Look at my eyes.
Look at his eyes.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:03)
It's fucking contagion over here.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:05)
Broski, what happened? Do you have conjunctivitis?

**Friedberg** (0:07)
Yeah, double eye. I got it from my daughter.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:09)
I think he got something in his eye.

**Friedberg** (0:11)
And then I got this fucking allergic reaction to it.
I'm just messed up, dude. For two days now, I haven't been able to see.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:16)
Okay, well, let me tell you about this weekend, which was the most motherfucking exhausting weekend of my life. I mean, where do I even start? Okay, here's where I start. So I fucking fly home.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:27)
From Italy.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:28)
From Italy.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:29)
Get back in the arena.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:30)
At 35,000 feet, I decide to troll the mids.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:34)
Oh, no.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:35)
We'll talk about that later. But anyways, sipping a beautifully chilled white burgundy.

**David Sacks** (0:39)
By trolling the mids, you mean that you were occupying their airspace. You were flying at the level of commercial jets.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:46)
You did a flyby.

**David Sacks** (0:47)
I said 45,000 feet.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:48)
I did a 45,000 feet. I went to down where the public airlines fly and I was like, blah, mid, mid, mid. Then I came back.
I landed in LA and I go straight to the **** house. I landed like, you know, I get there like 1.3 or 2.3 or something, 3 o'clock, something around there.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:23)
In the morning.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:23)
I take a, no, in the afternoon, take a nice bath and boom, we start playing at 4 o'clock.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:28)
Okay, we start playing, but it's not a big deal.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:30)
It's like one day of poker. We play poker, we finish at like 3 or 4 in the morning. We're exhausted. Kevin shows up in a wheelchair because he had pulled his **** abdomen.

**Friedberg** (1:39)
Kevin Hart.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:40)
Kevin Hart in a race with Steven Ridley. He had a 40-yard dash with Steven Ridley. He pulled all his muscles like door.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:46)
I think you mean a 40-inch dash if it was Kevin Hart. That's a 40-inch dash.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:51)
Anyways, Kev pulls all these muscles.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:53)
Small legs.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:53)
The door in the car opens and the wheelchair comes and he wheels himself to the table. So that was the beginning. I was like, this is an odd way to start poker. We played till four in the morning, go to bed, wake up, do our thing, start the game again Thursday at four.
We play again till fucking three or four in the morning.
Wake up, we go to Burbank at ten and we fly to Porto Vallarta for a fucking bachelor party. It's unbelievable. Okay. Ten bedrooms, huge compound on the beach, the whole nine yards.
We start gambling on the plane. I just want you guys to know that we slept nine hours and four days and we just kept playing and playing and playing. At one point, and this is exactly how the interaction with said, hey guys, maybe we should go to the St. Regis for dinner. And then as soon as he was about to say dinner, I was like, shut up, keep playing.
The point is that we played from the plane in the car. We played on an app, then we played in the house. The food was served buffet style. It all decorum just went away. We didn't do anything. We didn't leave that house. We didn't walk on the beach. We didn't fucking nothing.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:07)
You didn't put your feet in the ocean.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:09)
I played until I landed in Moffat on Monday afternoon.
Can you fucking believe it? It's like almost like, you know, six days straight of poker. I will say this. It's an incredible house. The food was incredible. I really wish I could have seen more than my bedroom and the poker table.
I wish I could tell you that the Pacific Ocean was nice, but I have no fucking idea.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:33)
You peed in a bucket. You didn't even see the bathrooms in this house.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:36)
No, I had the doors open so that I could run to my room and pee and come back. I mean, it was-

**Jason Calacanis** (3:41)
Yeah, you don't want to waste time. You don't want to waste time.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:43)
It was the most degen weekend I've ever been a part of. And then all of us, by the way, we're so exhausted.
