I found out about a Friedberg purchase that is just, you were there, Chamath, you heard what he bought.

**David Friedberg** (0:06)
What did I buy? Pickles?

**Jason Calacanis** (0:08)
The quinoa?

**David Friedberg** (0:08)
What was it?

**Jason Calacanis** (0:09)
No, no. Sacks, you missed this because you are a sunbird now, and the rest of us are snowbirds over the holidays. But the three of us have been hanging out, skiing, having dinner for a couple of weeks. And we had a little wives' dinner.
And one of the wives was complaining about the Friedberg's purchasing.

**David Friedberg** (0:27)
Oh, my God.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:29)
So Friedberg.

**David Friedberg** (0:30)
Do you have pictures of the radiation suits?

**Jason Calacanis** (0:32)
I don't have pictures of the radiation suits. I'm trying to find them.

**David Sacks** (0:35)
Radiation suits? I thought you're going to talk about like Brioni suits or something.
Radiation suits?

**Jason Calacanis** (0:41)
You know how you went into full-scale panic mode during COVID and you had your whole outfit, your hazmat suit? Friedberg, just because he's panicked about nuclear proliferation, has bought suits for his entire family, thousands of dollars of radiation suits, and nuclear fallout.
And he bought one for his dog. Dogs, sorry, dogs.

**David Friedberg** (1:10)
For Monty and Daisy. I should send you guys the photo of the dog.

**David Sacks** (1:14)
A bunker?

**David Friedberg** (1:15)
I mean, I've got it all taken care of.

**David Sacks** (1:16)
You need a bunker first, right?

**Jason Calacanis** (1:18)
I think that's underway as well.

**David Friedberg** (1:19)
How do you get to your bunker, Friedberg, with the pilots that you'll be asking to leave their families?
Or will you be protecting them with the guns that were stolen from your house? At least you'll have the thousands of pickles you've made.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:33)
I didn't know Friedberg was a prepper. Did you know this, Sacks? Because Sacks has a little prepper in there.

**David Friedberg** (1:41)
No, Sacks, Friedberg was howling because he was so mad. He made like thousands and thousands of pickles, and nobody would eat them, including himself.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:49)
Because they were so terrible. You literally bought a radiation pod for your dogs.

**David Friedberg** (1:54)
Yeah, so that's their air filter on the right, so that they don't breathe in the nuclear fallout cloud.

**David Sacks** (1:59)
I kind of like the prepping.

**David Friedberg** (2:02)
Thank you, Sacks. Yeah, it's good.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:03)
You guys don't understand.

**David Friedberg** (2:04)
There's a reason evolution happens in moments of what we call punctuated equilibrium. There's a massive event and certain things survive, and then that becomes the proliferant species going forward.
This is the moment.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:18)
Be ready. So you're saying paranoid rich white guys are going to survive the nuclear holocaust, is what you're saying.
Paranoid rich white tech guys are going to make it to the other side.

**David Friedberg** (2:28)
How exciting. What a great future.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:31)
What a future, Chamath. Chamath and I are like, we'd rather die.

**David Friedberg** (2:34)
That touches my erogenous zones, just the idea that when Sacks and Friedberg are the only two reproducting males left, delicious.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:42)
Can you imagine the gene pool?
It's like literally this is like some dystopian science fiction. This is like a Black Mirror episode.

**David Friedberg** (2:48)
You'll have the pastiest preppers in the world.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:52)
Pasty preppers to inherit the earth.
Welcome back to the program, everybody. It is the new year, but it's the same squad. Your four besties are here. Chamath Palihapitiya. He is now not just the dictator. He is chairman dictator calling in from the slopes with his beautiful Burt sweater. That's a great sweater. It's a major turtleneck going on there.
And we have David Friedberg.
Also looks like he's on the slopes and he is wearing his Ohalo, his Ohalo, not Mahalo, Ohalo hat.
He is branding here on the All-In podcast, sneaking a little branding for his new startup that he is the CEO of. David Sacks is with us, of course, and he cleaned up. He cleaned up a little bit here. The hair was getting out of control. We had a lot of commentary on the hair. Apparently, you cleaned up shop.

**David Sacks** (3:58)
I pivoted from the Jefferson to the Gecko.

**Jason Calacanis** (4:01)
All right. So everybody loves when we do our predictions. And so we're going to start off 2024 Big year for us. We have a lot going on here at All-In and we're going to just do some predictions here.
So let's get started. We're going to kick it off with Sacks doing his prediction for the biggest political winner in 2024
