Can you imagine this thing made it to 200 episodes?

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:39)
Wow, we have allin.com. How much did we spend on this? This is great.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:42)
I negotiated it. I got it. It took me two years. And I got a sick deal on it. I don't even want to say because I don't want to change it. But I think I got it. Don't say. I'll just say you believe it out. I got it for or so. And that's a million dollar domain. Just so we all know. Five letters in the dictionary. So good for branding.

**David Sacks** (1:06)
Good job, Jay.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:06)
Thank you, my friend.

**David Sacks** (1:07)
Now we have allin.com/tequila.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:10)
I love it.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:10)
Exactly. Exactly. And you can yum yum. I got you sacks.com, didn't I? You have the domain name sacks.com. Yeah. I need to go share that for you.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:18)
Wow. We have all the way back to episode one. This is incredible.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:22)
Oh, the new website?

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:23)
Yeah. This is great.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:25)
Oh, can I tell you, if I may.

**David Friedberg** (1:26)
There's a website?

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:28)
allin.com.

**David Friedberg** (1:29)
allin.com? That's our website?

**David Sacks** (1:31)
It's like this thing is real.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:32)
Yeah.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:33)
It's like a real thing.

**David Friedberg** (1:34)
After four years, we got our shit together. This looks great.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:36)
Here we go. And I want to give a shout out to Podcast AI, one of our, remember those fake All-In episodes? That became a startup, Podcast AI, and they built our website for us. So shout out to the team over there. All right, ladies, let's move on. And I am, of course, your executive producer for Life and the moderator of The All-In Podcast. And if I may, just a tiny plug. If you're a founder, we are having our ninth cohort of Founder University. It's a 12 week course I teach on starting companies. What are you doing?

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:06)
Stop.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:07)
I'm just giving a quick plug for Founder University. I need to get a plug in because I want to be founded.

**David Friedberg** (2:12)
Go to Arrow One and buy Supergut Bars, $3.99. You can pick them up this afternoon.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:34)
Speaking of that, your people used me in an ad, Friedberg, so don't talk about plugs.

**David Sacks** (2:40)
A few weeks ago, when I shouted out that Glue AI was hiring engineers, we had like a hundred applications just from that.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:46)
From Glue AI? Looking for engineers?

**David Sacks** (2:47)
From one plug on the show, yeah.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:49)
For Glue AI?

**David Sacks** (2:50)
Yeah.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:51)
Right, that's awesome for Glue AI. And if you haven't tried SuperGut, Friedberg's team literally made an advertisement with me talking about SuperGut and didn't tell me.

**David Sacks** (3:01)
And we're still hiring, so.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:02)
Okay, well there you have it. So go to founder.university to apply for my 12-week program.

**David Sacks** (3:07)
Go check out Grog.

**David Friedberg** (3:07)
I'm running a GoFundMe.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:09)
A GoFundMe?

**David Friedberg** (3:10)
Yeah, go to GoFundMe slash Friedberg.

**David Sacks** (3:11)
Really?

**Jason Calacanis** (3:12)
For what? More Xanax to deal with your panic attacks? All right, let's get started, everybody. Enough of the shenanigans. Hurricane season is upon us, as Friedberg had predicted. Hurricane Milton made land fall on Wednesday evening along the west coast of Florida, as many of you know. It's been downgraded. It started as a category five, potentially, then a category three, and then it looks like it's a category one now. So I guess these things are quite random. Leading up to Milton, those six million Floridians across 15 counties were ordered to evacuate. That's a lot of people moving out. And it was a pretty powerful storm. It ripped off the roof of the Tropicana field in Tampa. So far, the death toll is at four, but it's expected to rise, sadly. And just two weeks ago, Hurricane Helene swept through six southern states, killing over 220 people tragically. Devastating western North Carolina and entire towns were wiped out. These are also, beyond the tragic human losses, are economically staggering in terms of the losses. AccuWeather estimating the total economic damage could be between $145 and $160 billion from Helene. And Moody estimates the property damage alone could be as high as $26 billion.
