**David Friedberg** (0:00)
I just got a haircut with a new person. She was like, I'm like, do what you want. This is what she did.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:05)
Okay. Well, let me know who she is. Chamath and I will go beat her up and get your money back.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:10)
Did she feather your bangs and blow your hair out? She did. She gave you a blow, didn't she?

**David Friedberg** (0:14)
It's starting already.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:16)
No, but that's a blow dryer. Just, yes, right? She blew dry your hair?

**David Friedberg** (0:19)
At the end, she gave me a little-

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:20)
Yeah, that's not sustainable. So you can't tell what the quality of the haircut is like, because you're never going to do that again.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:24)
You don't have to scale.

**David Friedberg** (0:26)
I've never blow dried my hair in my life.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:27)
No, I understand that. And this is why, because if you get the blow and it looks good in the blow-

**Jason Calacanis** (0:31)
Just say blowout, please. Just say blowout.

**Cyan Banister** (0:34)
It's a full word.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:34)
Why, what are we, six? Just grow up, you f**king d**k dog.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:37)
The way you're saying it, you're saying it to provoke a reaction.

**Cyan Banister** (0:40)
Come on.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:40)
No, I'm not.

**David Friedberg** (0:42)
You're such a liar.

**Cyan Banister** (0:43)
I love it.

**Jason Calacanis** (0:44)
Tell us about what your rules for blows are.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:46)
What I'm saying is, if you get a haircut and you get a blow, it's very hard for you to know, no, but I'm serious, it's very hard for you to know what it's going to look like the next day when you take a shower and when you don't, you know, blow it.

**David Friedberg** (1:02)
It's true.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:03)
Oh, you're saying the self-blow can't match the stylist blow.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:06)
It's just important when you get a haircut with a new stylist or a hairdresser or a barber. You cannot let them blow you.

**Cyan Banister** (1:13)
He's not happy with the ending.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:15)
Got it. It was an unhappy ending. Because when you blow yourself, Chamath, which people have accused you of blowing yourself on this very program, when you blow yourself, it's not going to come out the way it did. It won't be as fabulous.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:29)
Every time I've blown myself, it's been perfect.

**Jason Calacanis** (1:50)
All right, everybody, welcome back to the All-In Podcast. I'm your host, Jay Powell, from Japan here. Cutting turns in Niseko and at Iwanai, and we have an incredible lineup today. As always, the Chairman Dictator, Chamath, is here to reign supreme. How are you doing, brother?

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:13)
Good. How are you? What are you wearing exactly?

**Jason Calacanis** (2:16)
I'm just wearing my kimono as I want to do here on the All-In Podcast.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:20)
Why are you speaking in Elizabethan English?

**Jason Calacanis** (2:23)
I just decided in 2025, I'm going to live my best life and I'm going to do everything. Anybody ask me to do something, I'm saying yes.

**David Friedberg** (2:32)
Oh, I'm going to ask you a bunch of stuff next weekend then. I've got so many ideas. I've got a list. I'm going to ask you to do all sorts of things.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:37)
If it's epic, I'm doing it.

**David Friedberg** (2:38)
Yeah. Okay.

**Jason Calacanis** (2:41)
So, yeah, I'm over the moon right now. Then I'll be going to the inauguration to see all my friends and celebrate the big Trump victory in tape an episode there. With us, of course, David Friedberg, your resident Sultan of Science. Not a moment too soon, we have so much to talk about. What's the background here? Those are some dead trees with Mount Fuji in the background?

**David Friedberg** (3:05)
Yeah, that's a Kurosawa landscape.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:09)
While you've been gallivanting and being a dilettante, your original adopted home state is burning to the ground.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:16)
Ah, yes, I know about this. I got off the ski lift and I saw this after I had posted like, oh, my life is amazing. And I was like, oh, my God, you know, you can totally, and everybody replied, like, are you?

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:29)
Read the room.

**Jason Calacanis** (3:30)
And I'm like, oh, my Lord. This is unbelievable. We'll obviously talk about that.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:36)
So then you promoted the tweet?

**Jason Calacanis** (3:37)
Yes, I put $500 behind it to boost it, to try to get my ratings up. No, I actually literally deleted it. Cause I posted it and I never do that, but I posted a video where I was like, oh my God, it's incredible. And I was like, you know what? This is the wrong time for it. So a little grace there, folks. And I am so happy to have here on All-In Idle, the one, the only, my good friend, Cyan Banister.
