By the way, boys, look at this, I'm down, I'm up a button.

**David Sacks** (0:05)
This is why the All-In pod is falling apart, is we got one best to use thinks he's fucking Hemingway. We got another one who thinks he's Italian nobility. We got another one who all he wants to do is geek out about science and discuss nothing topical. I mean, you guys are a total mess.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:18)
And you're a fucking boat.

Yes, David, we started six, but we're going to break for dinner as normal at seven. So get here by fucking six.

Back from his Italian castle.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:53)
Fresh off his Italian castle retreat. One button up.

**David Sacks** (2:58)
Maybe we should call you the duke instead of the dictator.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:01)
Yeah.

**David Sacks** (3:01)
Because you've really taken this Italian nobility thing to heart.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:05)
Maybe he'll do it. Jason invaded my castle. He ravaged my toilet several of them.
He literally had, he co-opted the butler, he co-opted the chef. When he would bicycle back into the-

**Jason Calacanis** (3:20)
I was living Chamath's best life, I'll be totally honest, for a week.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:24)
He would bicycle back to the house.
The gate would close, and they would scurry out with two little cokes, a huge glass filled with ice. I was so confused when I got back, I was like, what's going on? He's like, Mr. Jason, Mr. Jason.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:38)
Mr. Jason, he always-

**David Sacks** (3:39)
