Why do you always go Christopher Walken whenever you do these outros? Why do you do that?

Thanks for listening to the All-In Podcast. Wow, David Sacks poignant points about regulatory capture. Friedberg loves mock meats, not for me, Chamath. Everyone loves a great potato.
See you next time on the All-In Podcast.

I love you boys. So good.

**David Sacks** (0:33)
That's why you're better impression.

**David Friedberg** (0:37)
Everyone's got their superpower. That's your superpower.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:39)
It's a very nasty, nasty J.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:42)
Don't ruin it.

**David Sacks** (0:42)
Don't ruin it.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:43)
I'm coming on. I'm coming on Ollie.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:03)
Hey, Friedberg, you want to tell them about your new family members?

**David Friedberg** (1:06)
Oh, my God.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:07)
Did he get more dogs? Is he trying to dayport annoy this again?
Oh, Ms. Peaches.

**David Friedberg** (1:12)
So I'm like working all day Friday. I'm like wiped out. I'd been in... I can't remember. Oh, yeah, I was in Santa Cruz. I made it all the way back up through the traffic.
I get up to the house.
I've been texting and calling all afternoon. No response. I'm like, what the fuck is going on? Normally, she'll text me like, just walk through the door, open the door to my car, every little thing. So for her to not be calling me back is something's up. I walk in the house. The kids are there. They're jumping up and down.
And I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about? We didn't get two new dogs. What do you say? Mommy's got two new dogs.
And then mommy took them to the vet. I'm like, no way. And I had some friends coming over for dinner. They walk in the house. The kids are jumping up and down. Two minutes later, walks in the house. These two dogs that someone found in a parking lot in San Jose and they couldn't find a home for these dogs. And they were like, the dogs don't have a home.
Decided I'll take them into my home. And I'm like, this is why you didn't call me. You didn't text me. I walked out the room. I'm like, it's over.
It's been nice knowing you. The kids are screaming, Daddy, you can't get rid of the dogs. They're our dogs. Now these are the best dogs. So now we have four dogs.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:20)
How much was the vet bill?

**David Friedberg** (2:21)
And then I come down that night. Huge in the dining room, like multiple diarrhea, plopped all over the floor.
I walked downstairs. The whole house was smelling of poop. My house has become like, you know, those carnival trains that used to go from city to city back in the 19th century. If one of those trains like fell over and spilled open, that's basically what my house has become.
It just smells like poo and hay. And there's clowns and children running around. And I live in it.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:48)
Did I ever tell you the story of Chuck Norris, the Chihuahua?

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:52)
No, no, no.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:54)
So I'm going to a wedding. I'm in like Arizona. I'm driving like on one of these giant like Arizona streets and a fucking Chihuahua runs across this like eight lane boulevard, whatever.
And I'm like, oh my God, I'm like dodging around it. And it goes into the other side of traffic and I see a car and he just the dog ducks. He misses the car. I'm like, Oh, thank God. My wife is screaming her head off.
The dog gets whacked by another car and it goes rolling down the highway.

**David Friedberg** (3:23)
I make a U-turn.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:24)
I block it. The dogs knocked out on the side of the road. I run up to the dog. I pick it up. I'm like, Oh, this dog's going to die. I get in the car. I said, Let's just take it to a vet or whatever. I'm saying goodbye to the dog. The dog's looking up at me. It's in bad shape.
We go to a vet. I give it to the vet.
We go to the wedding. My wife, who's like got this big heart, decides she's going to stay with the dog. I go to the wedding. I go to the opening night party.
She's at the 24-hour vet, sitting with this dog, waiting for it to die in the hospital.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (4:02)
Oh, my God.

**Jason Calacanis** (4:03)
The dog doesn't die. The dog survives.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (4:06)
Sorry.

**Jason Calacanis** (4:06)
Now it's Monday.
