00:03:10

yeah.

00:03:12

Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.

00:03:22

What the [ __ ] up you goddamn nerds?

00:03:27

How about a hand for the All-In podcast

00:03:29

Christmas party?

00:03:32

We're here in San Francisco. Make some

00:03:35

noise. You guys live here in San

00:03:36

Francisco?

00:03:38

What a [ __ ] hole.

00:03:43

It's actually worse than a [ __ ] hole.

00:03:47

You could actually use a [ __ ] hole here

00:03:50

to put the [ __ ] into that's on the

00:03:53

streets. A [ __ ] hole would be an actual

00:03:56

upgrade.

00:03:59

It used to be so beautiful here. You

00:04:01

guys remember remember the intro to full

00:04:03

house?

00:04:06

That house is still full because 23

00:04:08

Somalians live in it now.

00:04:12

Yeah,

00:04:18

>> put your phones away, you [ __ ] You

00:04:20

can watch this on video form later, you

00:04:23

[ __ ] dorks. Everybody wants their own

00:04:25

exclusive. I'm going to make it tonight.

00:04:27

I'm going to have a I'm going to My

00:04:28

YouTube channel is going to get extra

00:04:30

hits. California, more homeless people

00:04:33

than any other state. People are

00:04:36

struggling and you [ __ ] paid 500

00:04:39

bucks to watch billionaires talk to each

00:04:41

other.

00:04:44

God bless America.

00:04:48

Yeah.

00:04:52

Look, billionaires don't have it easy.

00:04:54

Do you have any idea how hard it is for

00:04:57

a billionaire to pretend like they like

00:04:59

their kids?

00:05:04

I had to research these guys and it was

00:05:06

the most exhausting thing I've ever

00:05:08

done. Absolute dorks. But then I watched

00:05:12

Mountain Head on the plane and then Big

00:05:14

Bang Theory and Succession and then

00:05:16

Brokeback Mountain

00:05:19

and I think I figured it out.

00:05:22

As many of you know, these gentlemen

00:05:24

started the All-In podcast at the

00:05:26

beginning of the COVID pandemic. It saw

00:05:28

massive success very quickly, which

00:05:30

makes sense. People were isolated and

00:05:32

looking for relatable content. And

00:05:34

what's more relatable than four venture

00:05:36

capitalists playing highstakes poker?

00:05:42

>> Their combined net worth of the four

00:05:44

hosts is over $3 billion.

00:05:49

You guys realize you don't have to do a

00:05:51

podcast, right?

00:05:54

>> Jake does.

00:06:02

Whenever anyone is asked what they would

00:06:04

do if they had a billion dollars, I've

00:06:06

never heard the answer, attend weekly

00:06:08

Zoom calls.

00:06:12

I do love the current landscape of

00:06:14

podcasts, though. Like, how is my show

00:06:16

even considered on the same playing

00:06:19

field as what you guys do? It's crazy,

00:06:21

right? You can listen to four experts

00:06:23

educated on economics and technology and

00:06:25

within seconds you can switch over to my

00:06:27

show and listen to an Elon Musk

00:06:29

impersonator roasting an aspiring

00:06:30

comedian with cerebral pausy.

00:06:34

These guys are all actual friends with

00:06:36

Elon Musk. They told me that backstage

00:06:40

and then they told me their names.

00:06:44

Our

00:06:47

friend Elon, of course, got some

00:06:48

criticism from the left at the beginning

00:06:50

of this year when he was accused of

00:06:52

doing a Nazi salute. He said he didn't

00:06:54

do a Nazi salute, but that it was a

00:06:56

Roman salute. He could have just said it

00:06:58

was an awkward wave and people would

00:07:00

have accepted that. I don't know if

00:07:02

Roman salute is the best alternative. He

00:07:05

went with behind the Nazis, the group

00:07:07

who has killed the most Jews, including

00:07:10

Jesus himself.

00:07:14

That's like being accused of visiting

00:07:16

Epstein's Island and having an alibi

00:07:18

that you were touring Thailand with Bill

00:07:20

Gates.

00:07:25

Yeah.

00:07:27

Can you guys tell Elon to use his

00:07:29

rockets for something positive like

00:07:31

immigration? Do you have any idea how

00:07:34

fast you can get illegal immigrants back

00:07:36

to where they came from on a [ __ ]

00:07:39

rocket? I looked into this. It's 26

00:07:41

seconds from here to Tijana, Mexico.

00:07:45

It's simple. You take the rocket, you

00:07:47

fill it with illegal immigrants, you

00:07:49

blast that [ __ ] up in the air, right?

00:07:51

You let Elon do his fancy little

00:07:53

parallel parking thing that he likes to

00:07:55

do. You empty the illegal immigrants,

00:07:58

you fill it with avocados.

00:08:00

>> Yes, no tariffs on these avocados.

00:08:04

These are the ideas.

00:08:07

There are some critics on the left that

00:08:08

say the hosts of Allin are all too

00:08:11

conservative, calling it an echo

00:08:13

chamber. An echo chamber is also how

00:08:15

Marjgerie Taylor Green's ex-husband

00:08:16

refers to her [ __ ]

00:08:23

>> We may have to edit that one out.

00:08:27

Immigrant jokes are okay, but big [ __ ]

00:08:29

jokes aren't. What kind of party are you

00:08:31

running here? But seriously, it is an

00:08:34

honor to be here at the Christmas party.

00:08:35

Remember everyone, Santa is watching to

00:08:38

see who's naughty or nice, and you don't

00:08:40

want to end up on his naughty list. Then

00:08:42

again, that would be the second worst

00:08:44

list JCAL ended up on.

00:08:51

>> Jcal, his net worth is $60 million. So

00:08:55

on this podcast, he's known as the

00:08:57

brokeass [ __ ]

00:09:02

He was an early investor in Uber and out

00:09:04

of everyone up here, he's the closest

00:09:06

one to having to be one of the drivers.

00:09:16

He refers to himself as the greatest

00:09:18

podcast moderator in the world.

00:09:25

>> These are the people cheering are the

00:09:26

people that have not seen my show. If

00:09:28

you get to call yourself the greatest

00:09:30

podcast moderator in the world, then I

00:09:33

get to say that I'm a virtue signaling

00:09:35

angel investor liberal cuck.

00:09:38

That's what you are.

00:09:43

Oh my god. Fun fact, Candace Owens

00:09:46

thinks that the leader of France's wife

00:09:48

has a bigger dick than JC.

00:09:53

[ __ ]

00:09:56

His angel list flex is the startup

00:09:58

equivalent of that guy who won't stop

00:10:00

talking about his high school football

00:10:02

championship.

00:10:04

Oh, okay. Lost you on the angel investor

00:10:06

joke. All right, that's surprising.

00:10:09

Puerto Rico. Very good, sir. Thank you.

00:10:11

We're trying to forget about that. Jay

00:10:14

Cal and I don't have much in common. I'm

00:10:16

a centrist, slightly right-leaning

00:10:18

person, and he's a full-on liberal. The

00:10:20

only thing we have in common is that

00:10:22

liberals don't like us.

00:10:27

Chamoth couldn't make it, which is

00:10:29

completely disappointing. And I'm still,

00:10:30

if it's all right with you guys, I'm

00:10:31

going to do my Chamath jokes.

00:10:33

>> Yes. Yes. I might do a couple extra ones

00:10:37

that I thought were too mean. Now that

00:10:39

he's not here, I had to show up for this

00:10:41

thing.

00:10:44

He works hard. $1.5 billion. He works

00:10:48

hard 24711.

00:10:58

Wow.

00:11:01

He bought into the Golden State Warriors

00:11:04

because he heard they had Curry over

00:11:05

there.

00:11:09

Yes.

00:11:10

>> How these nerds like sports jokes more

00:11:13

than angel investor jokes? This doesn't

00:11:15

even make any sense. He's got vindalute

00:11:20

>> Indian food jokes. Anyone? He's got a

00:11:22

lot of bread. It's a non-issue.

00:11:25

>> Okay, here we go. He's the best poker

00:11:28

player out of the bunch. He has the most

00:11:30

patience because he looks like a doctor.

00:11:34

>> Somebody told me that Chamath has a very

00:11:36

hot wife. I wonder what she sees in him.

00:11:45

Perhaps the hairy feet.

00:11:48

All right. Okie dokie.

00:11:53

Jamaat at one point was a senior

00:11:54

executive at Facebook where he

00:11:56

spearheaded several projects like

00:11:57

Facebook phone, Facebook home, and

00:12:00

Facebook beacon. If none of those ring a

00:12:02

bell, it's because they were all

00:12:04

completely scrapped by Facebook.

00:12:06

Hell of a resume. Chimoth, did you also

00:12:08

pitch the logo ideas to Cracker Barrel?

00:12:14

How about a hand for David Sachs? Ladies

00:12:16

and gentlemen, let me just say I am a

00:12:21

huge fan of yours. I I just think you're

00:12:24

truly so cool. For a genius like you to

00:12:27

take a break from wildly successful

00:12:29

businesses to be a patriot and share

00:12:32

your brilliant mind for the better of

00:12:34

our great nation is unbelievable.

00:12:37

>> Agreed. Agreed.

00:12:41

David Friedberg is here.

00:12:44

It didn't get the laugh I expected. I

00:12:46

was supposed to be funny that I just was

00:12:48

nice to David Saxs and then moved on.

00:12:51

Oh, and to Sax the Cryptozar, Michael

00:12:53

Sailor asked me to say hello. And if you

00:12:55

can do anything, anything at all, that

00:12:57

would be great.

00:12:59

I don't really know what he's talking

00:13:00

about, but a truly admirable feat. I'm

00:13:04

excited to watch Jay Cal follow in your

00:13:06

footsteps in 2028 as AOC's special

00:13:09

adviser for plugging your own [ __ ] on

00:13:11

air.

00:13:14

David Freriededberg.

00:13:16

He has a a segment on the show called

00:13:19

Science Corner is or is Sax calls it

00:13:24

or as Sax calls it, Time to Go.

00:13:28

I didn't think it was possible to be the

00:13:30

third wheel on a podcast with four guys.

00:13:36

You guys

00:13:38

>> Oh my god.

00:13:38

>> cracking yourself up. David and David, I

00:13:41

would like to personally thank you for

00:13:43

both elevating the representation of

00:13:45

African-Americans among the billionaire

00:13:48

class. You know, they say we have wealth

00:13:51

inequality in this country. Well, turns

00:13:53

out we fixed it. We just outsourced it

00:13:57

to better Africans.

00:13:59

Yeah, that's America.

00:14:02

That's America, baby. You see a kid from

00:14:04

Johannesburg with a laptop and he's a

00:14:06

billionaire in 10 years. You see a

00:14:09

brother from the southside with a laptop

00:14:10

and he stole your laptop.

00:14:15

It's true. The only blackmail on the

00:14:17

podcast is whatever the Israeli

00:14:19

government has on these guys.

00:14:26

>> Blackmail.

00:14:27

>> Yes.

00:14:27

>> All right. But seriously, to the All-In

00:14:30

squad, thanks for all you do to promote

00:14:32

healthy discourse and share perspectives

00:14:35

across culture, tech, and politics. what

00:14:37

you all have built is special and

00:14:39

transcends partisanship. I'm honored to

00:14:41

be here tonight and I'm very proud to

00:14:43

now call each of you my friends. Also,

00:14:45

can I borrow some money? Thank you very

00:14:47

much.

00:14:51

>> Awesome.

00:14:53

Oh my god, man. That was easier than I

00:14:55

thought.

00:14:57

Wow.

00:14:59

Yo, that was fun. Tell me a little bit

00:15:03

about the just unbelievable

00:15:06

12-year overnight success that is Kill

00:15:08

Tony.

00:15:09

>> Yeah, it's uh I just built the show that

00:15:13

I wanted to do. You know, I always was

00:15:17

um I was very lucky early on at the

00:15:20

comedy store to uh get to host the open

00:15:23

mics there, which are three minute long

00:15:25

sets on Sundays and Mondays with 40

00:15:28

comedians in a row doing 3 minutes. 3

00:15:31

minutes, 3 minutes, 3 minutes. And I

00:15:33

would go up after each comedian did

00:15:35

three minutes and make fun of them. And

00:15:37

every once in a while afterwards go up

00:15:39

to them personally and say, "Hey, you

00:15:41

know, if you took a breath sometimes or,

00:15:44

you know, used pauses or sped up or used

00:15:47

got the mic closer to your mouth, little

00:15:49

advice here and there." And uh me and my

00:15:52

friends would always have so much fun

00:15:54

sitting in the back of the room watching

00:15:56

these open mics. And the things that we

00:15:57

would whisper into each other's ears, I

00:16:00

thought were so funny. We'd be in the

00:16:02

back of the room. Sometimes we'd be the

00:16:03

only people laughing at the open mic cuz

00:16:06

of what we're saying to each other. And

00:16:08

I thought to myself during this time in

00:16:10

which everyone was saying, Tony, you

00:16:12

have to do a podcast. You got to do a

00:16:14

podcast. Everyone has a podcast. You

00:16:17

know, it was un completely unheard of at

00:16:20

the time. But I thought, why not show

00:16:24

how crazy an open mic can be and the

00:16:26

ideas that me and whatever comedian

00:16:29

buddies were sitting next to me. If we

00:16:31

shared what we were laughing about with

00:16:33

the people, I think it could be a hit.

00:16:35

And even the co-host Redband at the time

00:16:38

goes, "Wait, what? Who the [ __ ] is going

00:16:40

to want to watch an open mic?" And uh

00:16:44

and I kind of thought everybody would.

00:16:46

So no. Yeah, it turns out worked out

00:16:48

pretty well. Yeah, it's um it's pretty

00:16:52

amazing. When I moved to Austin 2 years

00:16:55

ago and the first thing people say when

00:16:57

they land in Austin is, "Have you been

00:17:01

to Kill Tony? Can you get me tickets to

00:17:04

Kill Tony?" And you were so nice. You

00:17:06

gave me your phone number. You said,

00:17:07

"Anytime you want, you know, come in."

00:17:09

And then I texted you and you ghosted

00:17:11

me. And

00:17:13

>> really, did that really happen?

00:17:14

>> No, I just wanted to see if the joke

00:17:15

would last.

00:17:15

>> It would have happened if you did text

00:17:17

me. That's why

00:17:18

>> I deleted your number, but um yeah. No,

00:17:20

I didn't. Uh but it is a phenomenon. It

00:17:23

the show is selling out. I don't know

00:17:26

how many weeks you put out at a time,

00:17:28

but my office is over there by Dirty

00:17:30

Sixth Street and sometimes I'll walk and

00:17:32

get a coffee and there's two 300 people

00:17:36

lined up on the street. They just go to

00:17:38

Joe Rogan's mothership just to see where

00:17:41

it happens. What what's it like in terms

00:17:43

of the number of tickets and then this

00:17:46

incredible scale? You've now sold out

00:17:49

MSG how many times?

00:17:51

>> Yeah, three Kill Tonies and once just

00:17:54

for my standup the standup show and the

00:17:57

most recent Kill Tony was all after my

00:17:59

famous MSG performance heard.

00:18:03

>> You spoke at the Nuremberg Rally. Yeah.

00:18:05

>> So that that was even more special cuz

00:18:07

it was already my favorite arena. In

00:18:09

fact, the only reason I really did that

00:18:12

event was because I was just excited to

00:18:16

feel the magic of Madison Square Garden

00:18:18

again. Had it been at at uh you know

00:18:21

what's the one in Jersey or whatever?

00:18:23

>> Brendan Burn.

00:18:24

>> No, a different arena. It's uh it

00:18:27

doesn't matter. But it's in Jersey. It

00:18:28

doesn't matter.

00:18:29

>> Yeah. My point is is if it if had it

00:18:31

even been anywhere else, I don't even

00:18:33

know if I would have done it. But the

00:18:35

magic of MSG mixed with the opportunity

00:18:38

to perhaps, you know, get a few people,

00:18:43

maybe younger people or whoever that was

00:18:45

on that were on the fence to vote what I

00:18:47

thought was the right way.

00:18:49

>> Can I ask how did that whole MSG um

00:18:52

thing come about for the Trump campaign?

00:18:55

Cuz I remember when they asked me to

00:18:56

help and I just threw a dinner and when

00:18:59

you did it, you you know delivered a

00:19:01

killer set that almost like burned the

00:19:03

campaign down. But um uh fake news

00:19:09

20% Puerto Rican increase in the state

00:19:11

of Pennsylvania.

00:19:13

An uptick because they have an

00:19:15

unbelievable sense of humor. Puerto

00:19:16

Ricans do. You know, when you do this

00:19:18

every night and all the time, you get a

00:19:22

really good feel for what you can and

00:19:24

can't get away with, what exactly where

00:19:26

is the actual line. And I think and I'm

00:19:30

I think in retrospect a lot of people

00:19:33

think that the mainstream media trying

00:19:37

to make it appear like a comedian. I

00:19:39

don't think any of these journalists did

00:19:41

their research. With a simple Google,

00:19:43

you see that I have the most diverse

00:19:46

comedy show in the world and that I am

00:19:50

in I push the limits on the whether it

00:19:52

be the Tom Brady roast or the Snoop Dog

00:19:54

roast and all the roasts that I've

00:19:56

written on like the last 13 Comedy

00:20:00

Central roast.

00:20:00

>> It's equal opportunity. Basically,

00:20:02

>> with a simple Google of my name, you can

00:20:05

find out that I was just doing what I

00:20:07

did. And I think they weren't gambling

00:20:09

on the fact because I'm not mainstream,

00:20:11

right? I'm not Jimmy Fallon or any of

00:20:13

these darlings of theirs. Uh I think

00:20:17

that they thought that it was going to

00:20:21

make everything look bad. But meanwhile,

00:20:22

I I think anybody with a sense of humor

00:20:25

at all saw it and goes, I think this is

00:20:27

the party with a sense of humor.

00:20:29

>> Yes.

00:20:29

>> Meanwhile, they have the other side had

00:20:32

Glorilla shaking her ass and like

00:20:35

everyone's pretending like that's cool,

00:20:37

but that that's not cool. And Tony, can

00:20:40

we can we go back to your your because I

00:20:42

thought what was so interesting was your

00:20:44

story getting here because there's a lot

00:20:45

of entrepreneurs,

00:20:47

>> people that have built businesses in

00:20:48

this room. One of the defining

00:20:50

characteristics of building a business

00:20:52

is you have to have grit because nothing

00:20:54

goes as planned if you're doing

00:20:55

something for the first time.

00:20:57

>> Yeah.

00:20:57

>> And you get your ass kicked. And if you

00:20:59

can deal with that, you can deal with it

00:21:01

again and you deal with it again, you

00:21:02

can eventually get somewhere.

00:21:05

>> You started out in LA. Can you just talk

00:21:07

about not just the idea, but then what

00:21:09

the process was like going from the idea

00:21:12

to having yourself on stage with the

00:21:16

future president at Madison Square

00:21:18

Garden giving this like what was that

00:21:20

experience like and how hard was that

00:21:22

iteration that build and the struggle to

00:21:25

get to where you got to?

00:21:26

>> Oh, it was insane. I I I

00:21:30

actually uh just mentioned this. I was

00:21:33

on Rogan this week with John Cena and it

00:21:35

came up, but I had this uh moment a few

00:21:39

weeks ago where I Venmoed a buddy

00:21:43

because I thought that I owed him rent

00:21:46

from 18 and a half years ago. I was

00:21:50

sleeping. I had I was renting the couch

00:21:53

in a living room with four comedians

00:21:57

total. I was one of them. One had a

00:21:59

bedroom with a bathroom. Another one had

00:22:02

a bedroom with a bathroom and me and

00:22:04

there was a little love seat. The guy

00:22:06

was renting the love seat and I had to

00:22:09

pay $400 a month rent. And I literally,

00:22:13

even though I was working all the hours

00:22:16

from literally 11:00 a.m. on the phones

00:22:20

to 700 p.m. at night and then I would

00:22:22

put on the Comedy Store t-shirt and work

00:22:24

the door from 8:00 p.m. till 2:30 in the

00:22:27

morning and then do it again the next

00:22:28

day. And uh because the comedy store

00:22:32

didn't have comedy hadn't had its second

00:22:35

huge boom yet, which was a few years

00:22:37

away, um uh they would cut your hours at

00:22:41

the comedy store. They just wouldn't not

00:22:43

only would you not get overtime. You

00:22:45

wouldn't even get the hours that you

00:22:47

actually did work or really anything at

00:22:49

all. I couldn't make the 400 a month

00:22:51

rent. So anyway, a few weeks ago, I said

00:22:54

to one of the other buddies that had a

00:22:56

room, I go, "Hey, I think I owe I still

00:23:00

think I owe the main guy a few hundred

00:23:03

bucks, rent." He goes, "You do? He

00:23:05

mentioned it last time I saw him."

00:23:07

>> Wow.

00:23:08

>> And so I went to Venmo and I just

00:23:10

Venmoed him a,000 bucks straight up. And

00:23:13

in the caption, Yeah. exactly in the

00:23:15

caption I go, "Rent money 2007."

00:23:18

But Tony, was there a period during that

00:23:20

time when you were going to quit where

00:23:22

you said it's not working?

00:23:24

>> No, these were my favorite times. In

00:23:25

fact, after that, after the 400 rent,

00:23:28

which by the way, because I couldn't

00:23:29

make the 400 rent, I got downgraded. Not

00:23:33

only was there someone else on the love

00:23:34

seat, someone else moved in that could

00:23:36

afford the 400 rent. So, I paid 300 rent

00:23:40

for a bean bag on the ground. And let me

00:23:43

remind you, the bathrooms were in the

00:23:44

other guy's bedroom. So you had to

00:23:46

tiptoe if you had to pee in the middle

00:23:48

of the night through somebody else's

00:23:49

bedroom. So it was after that actually

00:23:51

after basically the first year was that

00:23:54

I decided to just start sleeping in the

00:23:57

backseat of my car behind the comedy

00:23:59

store where I wasn't you weren't even

00:24:01

allowed to park there. It's a tiny

00:24:02

parking lot. So, I would be up on one of

00:24:05

the hills in the Hollywood Hills and

00:24:06

after at 2:30 or 3:00 a.m. when you're

00:24:08

done, I would walk up a hill and get my

00:24:12

car and drive it back into the empty

00:24:14

comedy store parking lot, pull into the

00:24:16

back. Juan Carlos, the maintenance man

00:24:19

there that would show up at like 4:00 or

00:24:21

5:00 a.m., was nice enough to wait a few

00:24:23

hours to try to let me get a few extra

00:24:26

hours of sleep before he would start

00:24:27

nailing [ __ ] and fixing everything. And

00:24:31

it's literally the times now that I have

00:24:33

a touch of success. Um, it's the times

00:24:37

that I think about all the time now.

00:24:39

Every single time I find myself looking

00:24:42

at the skyline of Austin from my

00:24:45

beautiful [ __ ] home with a crazy

00:24:48

outdoor terrace and everything the way

00:24:50

that I want it. I think about those

00:24:52

times. The struggle all the time.

00:24:54

>> Was there a moment where you said, "I

00:24:56

made it."

00:24:58

Uh

00:25:01

yeah, I mean it happens quite a bit. It

00:25:05

the I made it thing happens a lot. every

00:25:08

MSG and even I mean again, you know, to

00:25:11

go back to it, the Trump thing at MSG

00:25:13

being global news was so insane that not

00:25:17

only did I make it, I I feel every time

00:25:20

like I'm kind of making it again, you

00:25:23

know, cuz it just seemed at the time

00:25:26

there was a couple weeks there where

00:25:28

it's literally,

00:25:30

you know, tens of thousands or hundreds

00:25:32

of thousands of people saying or

00:25:34

thinking that that could be it, that

00:25:36

it's all over.

00:25:38

>> What's the best city for comedy right

00:25:40

now? Is it Austin? Is it still LA? What

00:25:41

do you

00:25:42

>> There's no question about it. It's

00:25:43

Austin, Texas.

00:25:44

>> Austin. Really?

00:25:45

>> Absolutely.

00:25:47

>> Honestly, you guys are You guys are

00:25:48

making it sound really fun. You got

00:25:49

You're there. Jake's there. Rogan's

00:25:52

there. Who else is there?

00:25:53

>> Elon, Tim Ferris,

00:25:55

>> let's go shopping.

00:25:56

>> Shane Gillis.

00:25:58

>> All of his entire crew is there. Matt

00:26:01

McCusker, Tom Sigura,

00:26:04

>> came and saw you a few months ago when

00:26:05

we did that event in Austin. What was

00:26:06

that? March or something? March. Right.

00:26:09

>> It was incredible. I mean, the crowd.

00:26:10

>> Yeah. So, we got hooked up with your

00:26:12

guy, got us some tickets, and I was with

00:26:14

some buddies and they said, "Let's go

00:26:15

see Kill Tony." We got in touch with

00:26:17

your guy, got into the show, and I think

00:26:20

I had forgotten what standup comedy was

00:26:23

supposed to be like from like the late

00:26:24

90s, early 2000s, even into the 2010s

00:26:27

because over the last couple of years,

00:26:29

we've talked a lot about guys getting

00:26:30

their heads chopped off when they said

00:26:32

something wrong. Chappelle, and everyone

00:26:34

got so guarded in comedy. And I went to

00:26:36

your show and I was like, "What the

00:26:38

fuck?" Like, "Oh my god." Like this was

00:26:40

tame tonight, but like what went on on

00:26:42

your stage? And then you did a bit where

00:26:44

you really tried to push the limits. It

00:26:45

was a a really interesting show to watch

00:26:47

cuz this was like we were sitting next

00:26:49

to each other and we were like, "Oh my

00:26:50

god, he's really trying to see how far

00:26:52

he could go." And there were moments

00:26:53

where it was like everyone was just

00:26:54

like,

00:26:56

>> but it was so different. And you've

00:26:58

you've really like given everyone

00:27:00

permission to find the limits, to find

00:27:02

real humor, to find, you know, what

00:27:04

what's sort of been taken away without a

00:27:07

doubt. And that's what we always did.

00:27:09

Some, you know, some comedians when

00:27:12

they're trying to promote their specials

00:27:13

or whatever now from LA and New York

00:27:15

will say things like, "Oh, Austin." So

00:27:17

that they can get hits on their clip.

00:27:19

You have to talk [ __ ] about Austin. It's

00:27:21

been a thing the last couple years. and

00:27:24

uh and they go, you know, oh, they're

00:27:26

just edge lords and this and that and

00:27:28

they're just pushing limits. They don't

00:27:30

and it's like we are the we were the

00:27:31

comedy store guys in the middle of the

00:27:33

lineup. When I go to New York, I can

00:27:36

perform at any club there. When I go to

00:27:37

LA, I can perform at any club there.

00:27:40

>> So, it's we just live there. It's an

00:27:43

amazing place to live. It's an amazing

00:27:45

place to go out and drink and eat and

00:27:48

listen to music and hang out with

00:27:49

people.

00:27:50

>> Now, your guys are going mainstream.

00:27:51

Your one guy's on SNL now.

00:27:52

>> Yeah. Cam, right?

00:27:54

>> And so much is happening. But my point

00:27:56

is is we're doing the exact We're not

00:27:58

like, "Let's go to Austin and get even

00:27:59

crazier. We're the exact same people

00:28:01

that were in the middle of the lineup at

00:28:03

the comedy store." And it wouldn't have

00:28:06

changed. We would still be in LA if the

00:28:11

if California didn't completely

00:28:13

mishandle the pandemic and uh and let

00:28:16

police take such a terrible hit during

00:28:19

the George Floyd riots. Uh it was it was

00:28:22

>> that's why you moved.

00:28:23

>> Yeah. It's when we all decided to move.

00:28:26

It was an absolute disaster.

00:28:27

>> The pandemic hit. You guys saw how

00:28:30

>> the pandemic things got so bad at one

00:28:32

point that when we were doing our show,

00:28:34

which you weren't allowed to have a live

00:28:36

audience, we were still doing Kill

00:28:38

Tony's. You want to talk about plowing

00:28:41

through when times are rough? Everybody

00:28:44

else's podcasts during the pandemic

00:28:47

skyrocketed like that. us. The only show

00:28:51

with a live audience was done. But we

00:28:56

didn't stop. We had people we had to I

00:28:58

had to improvise. So we had people send

00:29:00

in from home a video of themselves doing

00:29:04

a one minute set which was horrendous.

00:29:08

I mean absolutely terrible. worse than

00:29:11

doing roast jokes and killing and have

00:29:13

one guy going ooh after each and every

00:29:16

joke into a microphone attached to his

00:29:19

cheek. But it was dead silence. Nothing

00:29:23

was funny to us, by the way. We lacked

00:29:26

[ __ ] vitamin D. We were used to

00:29:28

having the instant gratification of a

00:29:30

crowd every single week. So, we're

00:29:32

watching these horrific one minute sets

00:29:34

and then we we would zoom with the

00:29:36

people. And by the way, don't don't even

00:29:37

get me started on all the technical

00:29:39

issues. Playing a video, ending the

00:29:41

video, starting the Zoom call with

00:29:43

somebody that probably doesn't have the

00:29:45

best Wi-Fi. No great comedian knows how

00:29:47

to work a computer or this or that or

00:29:49

anything anyway.

00:29:50

>> So, we were doing this and then at one

00:29:53

point we were so excited because they

00:29:55

allowed the fact that you could have

00:29:58

tables outside of the comedy store 6 ft

00:30:02

apart in the parking lot. The parking

00:30:05

lot was empty of cars. Social

00:30:07

distancing.

00:30:07

>> Oh my god. The dumbest [ __ ] era of

00:30:11

humanity that's ever existed.

00:30:14

>> I know this is San France, so you're

00:30:15

like, "Oh, he's the devil. What's he

00:30:17

talking about?" I think we all safety.

00:30:20

You got tricked, [ __ ]

00:30:24

>> Let me ask about Europe. Uh have you

00:30:26

followed any what's going on in Europe

00:30:28

with uh speech suppression and

00:30:31

>> Oh. Oh, it's insane.

00:30:33

>> It's insane. Oh, we talk about it in our

00:30:34

green room all the time. Yeah, it's

00:30:36

crazy. I get weekly updates.

00:30:38

>> And do we worry about that? You know, we

00:30:39

had this bill in California called SB771

00:30:43

and I got to give a shout out to Gavin

00:30:44

Newsome for vetoing it. All the things

00:30:46

you want to say about Gavin, but he

00:30:47

vetoed it, thank God. And this was this

00:30:50

um hate speech bill that you can't say

00:30:52

speech that's deemed hate by the

00:30:54

administrators in the government. But

00:30:56

those bills are finding and it made it

00:30:57

all the way through in California except

00:30:59

Gavin vetoed it. those sorts of bills

00:31:01

are showing up that were in the EU and

00:31:03

throughout Europe. I mean, do we worry

00:31:04

about that here in this country? Because

00:31:06

I've always viewed comedy to be the most

00:31:08

important test of free speech and it

00:31:11

really does define what we're being

00:31:14

given permission to do.

00:31:16

It's so interesting because I uh work

00:31:21

directly and and and I'm insanely in

00:31:24

touch with these things on a weekly

00:31:26

basis with YouTube, which

00:31:29

uh you know is I do believe the biggest

00:31:32

streaming platform right now. And what's

00:31:35

insane is that Netflix and Ted Sarandos

00:31:39

literally is like, "Do whatever you

00:31:41

want. Go as hard as you want. Push it to

00:31:43

the limit. Let's go. And meanwhile,

00:31:46

YouTube, every week, something's

00:31:48

different.

00:31:49

>> Uh, a black guy right now is only

00:31:53

allowed to say the n-word. A black

00:31:55

comedian can only say the n-word two or

00:31:58

three times per minute, but they're not

00:32:00

very clear. I mean, you don't even

00:32:02

notice when these guys do it, by the

00:32:04

way. It's obviously different than a

00:32:05

white guy saying the n word.

00:32:06

>> That's about Freeberg's average,

00:32:08

>> right? Exactly.

00:32:10

>> It's not even funny. Tony, don't laugh

00:32:12

at a joke.

00:32:12

>> Thank you, Tony. We're in this together.

00:32:17

>> Oh,

00:32:18

but uh but yes, the

00:32:22

um the interesting thing is that you can

00:32:25

say certain words on YouTube, but you

00:32:28

can't say they have them ranked and the

00:32:31

rules change all the time. And you don't

00:32:34

find out that the rules at YouTube have

00:32:36

changed until your producer goes, they

00:32:40

just demonetized the episode.

00:32:43

and it's been out for an hour and a

00:32:45

half, which is when everybody's going to

00:32:48

see the episode or the age restriction

00:32:51

is a killer because

00:32:52

>> yeah, we got hit with that restricted

00:32:54

content.

00:32:54

>> Almost everyone that watches the show is

00:32:56

over 18. However, who the hell wants to

00:33:00

log in to their stuff? I mean, you dorks

00:33:03

do, but real people don't want to. You

00:33:06

know, they just like going to YouTube,

00:33:08

typing in the show, and there it is. It

00:33:10

aired an hour ago. Here we go. And then

00:33:12

if it says age restriction just to check

00:33:13

to see if you're 18, which what a

00:33:16

[ __ ] joke cuz every kid can also

00:33:19

access anything anyway. And um

00:33:22

>> we got age restricted.

00:33:24

>> Yeah, we got restricted content.

00:33:26

>> But I guess your point Tony is that

00:33:27

there are gatekeepers that control the

00:33:30

distribution channel, in this case

00:33:32

YouTube.

00:33:32

>> Without a doubt. And I'll say this

00:33:34

again, you know, without I don't want to

00:33:37

keep getting political, but there was a

00:33:39

time there towards the end of that last

00:33:41

Biden administration in which we were

00:33:44

seeing things go the wrong way on wrong

00:33:48

way on almost a weekly basis. Like why'

00:33:52

this one get demonetized? How did this

00:33:54

one get demonetized? cuz we would have

00:33:55

to and you have to do a lot of digging

00:33:57

cuz they are just robots over there

00:34:00

until you finally get big enough to get

00:34:03

a human contact at YouTube which is like

00:34:06

a big deal for

00:34:08

>> um

00:34:08

>> it was definitely going the wrong way

00:34:10

and it felt like every week there's some

00:34:12

new category of thought and expression

00:34:14

that you couldn't say and they were

00:34:15

banning new things and then frankly Elon

00:34:18

bought Twitter

00:34:19

>> and that was the first event that

00:34:21

shifted the momentum. No, there's no

00:34:24

doubt.

00:34:24

>> And now now the EU is coming after him.

00:34:26

They find him 120 million euro

00:34:28

yesterday.

00:34:29

>> It's like Europe never got the memo. You

00:34:31

know,

00:34:32

>> it's over. Will you guys tour in Europe

00:34:34

or is it like not working?

00:34:35

>> We did. We just did in June and we

00:34:40

unless they

00:34:43

basically give us Buckingham uh Palace,

00:34:47

we'll probably never go there again. It

00:34:50

was the worst Kill Tony in the history

00:34:52

of our existence.

00:34:54

>> Um, the comedians were just terrible.

00:34:57

And we've done quite a few in England

00:34:59

and Ireland and stuff. Just the

00:35:00

comedians were terrible. The vibes there

00:35:04

are rough. There's just this neverending

00:35:07

gloom in London.

00:35:09

>> Yes.

00:35:09

>> Uh, there the food is beyond all

00:35:14

horrible.

00:35:15

>> They used to be funny though over there,

00:35:16

right? Like we were going I'm sorry. We

00:35:18

were going to the locals like, "Please,

00:35:20

anything. Where can we get a steak?

00:35:24

>> Where can they overcook us a steak?"

00:35:25

>> Oh, it was [ __ ] crazy, man. And I

00:35:28

mean, everything. It became a running

00:35:30

joke cuz we got there a few days early

00:35:33

to settle in and kind of, you know, ease

00:35:36

into it. So that's, you know, three

00:35:38

meals a day. Even if it's just three

00:35:40

days, that's nine terrible meals in a

00:35:43

row. You're very

00:35:45

we have the best food in the country

00:35:47

>> in Austin. It's unbelievable. We have we

00:35:50

have hundreds of restaurants better than

00:35:52

anything we tried of the fanciest crap

00:35:55

in London.

00:35:56

>> And they open seven new ones a week. I

00:35:58

mean, it does say something about

00:35:59

society when comedy is appreciated more

00:36:01

in the Middle East than it is in London.

00:36:03

>> Yeah. I mean, it's pretty crazy. It

00:36:05

really was.

00:36:05

>> Hey, Tony, any chance we could play Kill

00:36:08

Tony tonight?

00:36:08

>> You guys want to play Kill Tony here?

00:36:12

>> All right.

00:36:16

It's Is it true? Did you guys prepare

00:36:18

something?

00:36:19

>> Oh, whoa.

00:36:20

>> Oh my god.

00:36:22

>> Well, please. Uh, this is Callie, our

00:36:25

elegant elf.

00:36:27

>> Wow.

00:36:27

>> Callie the elegant elf.

00:36:29

>> You guys have your own Heidi. That's

00:36:30

amazing.

00:36:31

>> Yes, she's here. That's a San Francisco

00:36:33

Heidi.

00:36:33

>> So, she has a penis.

00:36:37

>> Asking for a friend.

00:36:39

>> San Francisco Heidi. There's got to be a

00:36:41

surprise underneath that skirt.

00:36:43

>> Oh boy, here we go.

00:36:44

>> This place is ridiculous, by the way.

00:36:47

You guys all better be wildly successful

00:36:49

for living here. I I walked outside of

00:36:52

my hotel earlier. There was literally

00:36:54

two dudes banging against a tree. I

00:36:57

looked the other way and there's a guy

00:36:59

taking a [ __ ] on the sidewalk and a lady

00:37:02

walks up to me and tells me to put out

00:37:04

my cigarette.

00:37:07

What is going on with San Francisco?

00:37:09

It's crazy. Kind of nuts.

00:37:12

>> So, you guys prepared for this? You know

00:37:14

how it works. You get

00:37:15

>> We know how it works. I don't know if

00:37:16

we're prepared.

00:37:17

>> Seconds uninterrupted. You know that

00:37:18

your time is up when you're the sound of

00:37:20

a kitten.

00:37:22

>> Wow. You really got it. Then you have to

00:37:24

wrap it up then or else you bring out

00:37:25

the angry West Hollywood bear.

00:37:29

Okay, you guys want to do this?

00:37:33

>> All right, this is all in Kill Tony,

00:37:36

ladies and gentlemen.

00:37:38

All right, going up first. Make some

00:37:40

noise for Jason, everybody.

00:37:45

Oh my lord. Wow. All right. All right.

00:37:50

Uh, well, many of you know I moved to

00:37:52

Austin and I got a ranch and I also lost

00:37:56

40 lbs. So, now it's a fat-free ranch.

00:38:00

Thank you.

00:38:04

Yeah, I went fat shaming. Um, but I'm a

00:38:07

I'm a little nervous about doing a

00:38:09

minute up here. I don't know how I'm

00:38:10

going to get through a minute without

00:38:11

interrupting Sachs.

00:38:14

Thank you. Uh, Tony, I'm a huge fan. I'm

00:38:17

a big fan of uh yourself, Joe Rogan,

00:38:20

Redban. People say I name drop a lot,

00:38:23

but I just got a text from Elon. He says

00:38:25

that's not true. It's not true. Um, it's

00:38:30

great to be Thank you. It's great to be

00:38:32

here with three of my besties and a new

00:38:34

one. Uh, we're missing Chimamath. Now,

00:38:36

some people say Chimath is a douche. I

00:38:39

don't agree. I don't agree because women

00:38:42

get something out of putting a douche

00:38:44

inside of them.

00:38:48

I thought that one would land.

00:38:51

Uh, Sax, my, uh, Jewish friend here, uh,

00:38:54

is the

00:38:56

Oh, God. Okay. I don't know if I should

00:38:59

say this one.

00:39:02

>> Go for it.

00:39:02

>> Okay, I'll do it. I'll go for it. Okay.

00:39:05

Sax is the only Jewish guy who built an

00:39:07

app to remind his friends to pay him

00:39:09

back.

00:39:12

>> All right, that's my time everybody.

00:39:14

Thank you.

00:39:15

>> Jason, everybody.

00:39:19

>> Wow.

00:39:20

>> You don't you don't want to do the

00:39:22

interview. You got to stay up there. Oh,

00:39:24

I'm supposed to stay up. I'm sorry.

00:39:25

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Stay standing. It's

00:39:26

not that easy.

00:39:27

>> What do you do for a living?

00:39:29

>> Yeah.

00:39:30

>> I've got a podcast or two. So, did you

00:39:32

you how how hard did you prepare for

00:39:34

this?

00:39:37

>> Um,

00:39:38

I guess uh 2500 podcast episodes later.

00:39:42

Yeah.

00:39:42

>> I love it. I love it. Now, when you were

00:39:44

writing this material, were you planning

00:39:46

on doing the joke and then turning and

00:39:49

seeing if we were laughing each time?

00:39:52

>> That could have been a that could have

00:39:54

been a tactical mistake. Sorry.

00:39:55

>> You're supposed to engage with the

00:39:57

audience and and stay focused on them.

00:40:00

>> Yeah. Okay. What do you do for a living?

00:40:02

Oh, product manager at Google.

00:40:05

>> Sorry about the layoffs.

00:40:10

>> I don't even know what kind of tech

00:40:12

jokes you guys. I don't even know what

00:40:14

kind of inside baseball nerd [ __ ] is

00:40:17

going on here. I feel like I walked into

00:40:19

a Magic the Gathering convention.

00:40:23

>> Is standup something that you've uh ever

00:40:25

wanted to do or is this just spontaneous

00:40:28

for you?

00:40:29

>> Just spontaneous. more of a magician.

00:40:32

>> No, that's not true.

00:40:33

>> Do you have magic tricks?

00:40:34

>> I have no magic tricks.

00:40:35

>> Do you have any other special?

00:40:36

>> I can get three narcissistic asberers

00:40:40

venture capitalist to show up every

00:40:41

Thursday and tape a podcast. That's my

00:40:43

only trick.

00:40:44

>> That's amazing. Good answer.

00:40:46

>> They appreciate it.

00:40:48

>> You know what, Jason? I think you did

00:40:50

just [ __ ] good enough. Come on back

00:40:52

and sit down. Let's keep it moving.

00:40:57

>> You guys having fun out there?

00:41:00

All right.

00:41:01

>> Well, this is my [ __ ] guy, ladies and

00:41:04

gentlemen. As you know, I love him. You

00:41:07

love him. Make some goddamn noise for

00:41:10

the one and only David Saxs. Everybody.

00:41:18

>> All right, Tony. Thank you so much for

00:41:21

being here. I loved your roast of Puerto

00:41:24

Rico. You went so hard after a Latino

00:41:27

island. And I'm shocked President Trump

00:41:29

didn't appoint you Secretary of War.

00:41:34

Jal, I've been following your feed this

00:41:36

week. I really appreciate your support

00:41:38

for All in Tequila. I know you love it

00:41:40

because you finally get to take a shot

00:41:42

that's not ompic.

00:41:49

It It was only a matter of time before

00:41:52

JC got in the beverage business because

00:41:54

I've never met anyone more thirsty than

00:41:56

JCL.

00:41:59

He spent his entire life dreaming of the

00:42:01

day he would see his name mentioned

00:42:02

alongside the world's most influential

00:42:04

people. Congratulations, Jason. You

00:42:06

finally did it. You're in Epstein's

00:42:08

black book.

00:42:12

I knew the Epstein files were a hoax as

00:42:14

soon as I saw that JL was in them.

00:42:16

Couldn't want to blackmail a loser.

00:42:19

All right, let's talk about Jimoth.

00:42:21

Chamath is a prime example of why

00:42:23

unlimited immigration is not in

00:42:25

America's interest.

00:42:29

Jamas is from Sri Lanka. Tony's

00:42:31

description of Puerto Rico didn't offend

00:42:33

him and made him homesick.

00:42:40

>> Do I have time? Can I keep going? All

00:42:42

right.

00:42:43

>> Yeah.

00:42:44

>> Chamath has angered so many investors.

00:42:47

Spack now stands for seriously pissed at

00:42:50

Chimoth

00:42:54

and Freeberg are sold into science. So,

00:42:56

what can I say about Freeberg that

00:42:57

hasn't already been said about watching

00:43:00

paint dry?

00:43:03

Freeberg lives life as a vegan, and

00:43:05

that's exactly what it feels like to

00:43:07

hang out with him.

00:43:14

You know, there are more satisfying

00:43:16

options on the menu, but you made a

00:43:18

decision and now you're stuck with it.

00:43:24

You've all tried those tasteless Beyond

00:43:26

Burgers. Well, free is our beyond

00:43:28

friend. All right. Thank you everyone.

00:43:34

>> David S, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah.

00:43:38

>> Unbelievable. Oh, okay.

00:43:40

>> You're good. Saxs, you're good. I got to

00:43:44

tell you, man, that was unfucking

00:43:46

believable.

00:43:50

I wasn't expecting to have to do this

00:43:52

tonight, but I think I just found a new

00:43:54

golden ticket winner.

00:43:59

Have you ever done Have you ever done

00:44:01

stuff on stage before in a non-b

00:44:03

businessiness like sense?

00:44:05

>> Well, we we've done a couple of roast

00:44:07

among our friends at birthday parties

00:44:08

before. We did a JCAL roast. We did a

00:44:10

Phil Helmouth roast. There's a lot of

00:44:12

material in both of those cases.

00:44:14

>> Yes. So, we've done, you know, we've

00:44:16

done some friendly roast, but

00:44:17

>> your 50th roast.

00:44:18

>> Yeah, my my 50th birthday, we actually

00:44:20

did a big roast. These guys were all

00:44:22

part of it. So, we had a little bit of

00:44:24

roast experience.

00:44:25

>> Amazing. It shows, saxs, that was

00:44:28

absolutely incredible. How about one

00:44:29

more time for David Saxs, everybody?

00:44:32

>> Did he get his $15,000 in money worth

00:44:34

the comedians he hired or no?

00:44:37

>> Is that how much he spent

00:44:40

all in or do you pay for them out of

00:44:41

pocket?

00:44:43

That was incredible.

00:44:44

>> That was amazing.

00:44:45

>> Are we going to have Freeberg do his

00:44:46

set?

00:44:47

>> We want to hear Freeberg. Let's do it.

00:44:49

Tony, Tony, hype me up. Let's go.

00:44:52

>> Absolutely. Ladies and gentlemen, make

00:44:54

some noise for your final comedian of

00:44:57

the night,

00:44:58

David Freeberg. Everybody,

00:45:05

so great to be in San Francisco. The

00:45:07

streets are like Chimamoth. They're

00:45:09

totally full of [ __ ]

00:45:12

Thanks for being here, Tony Hinchcliffe.

00:45:14

I love the show. I've worked in

00:45:15

agriculture for years, so I'm used to

00:45:18

working with genetically modified

00:45:19

fruits.

00:45:22

Tony uh Tony Henchcliff's actually a

00:45:24

GMO, a gay man. Obviously,

00:45:28

Jamal couldn't be here tonight because

00:45:30

he's feeding the hungry. Uh just

00:45:32

kidding. That's below his line.

00:45:36

Speaking of hungry, Jal,

00:45:38

you're looking great, buddy. Thank you.

00:45:40

Now you only have to buy one seat on

00:45:42

Epstein's plane.

00:45:45

Jal, your weight goes up and down more

00:45:46

than Chimat's back portfolio.

00:45:49

In fact, you look so skinny now I

00:45:51

confused you for Chimat's legs.

00:45:54

Chimat's legs are so thin he wears

00:45:56

socks, leggings, and thermals. He covers

00:45:59

up more than Sax does for the Trump

00:46:01

administration.

00:46:09

Sax, congrats on all the success, but

00:46:10

the stress is clearly getting to you.

00:46:12

You look like someone microwaved John

00:46:14

Love it.

00:46:17

>> All in is what Sach says when he's

00:46:19

cheering on an ice vehicle.

00:46:23

We're all so different. I'm just the

00:46:25

science guy. I study black holes while

00:46:27

Chimoth invests in them.

00:46:31

Here we are enjoying the holiday spirit

00:46:33

together. I know the things I said

00:46:35

tonight might be a little mean, but the

00:46:36

world's already burning. Figured I might

00:46:38

as well burn some bridges. All right,

00:46:41

Christmas three. Wow. Amazing.

00:46:46

Have you ever done anything again non-b

00:46:49

businessiness like performative

00:46:51

>> historically? A play? Nothing?

00:46:53

>> A little play, acting growing up, a

00:46:55

little musicals, a little Yeah. Yeah, I

00:46:58

know. Jay Cal's going to

00:46:59

>> a little summer,

00:47:00

>> you know. Oh, you know, here's a factoid

00:47:02

no one knows. I actually starred in a

00:47:04

play with Rashidita Jones. You know

00:47:06

Rashidita Jones, the actress from Parks

00:47:08

and Wreck.

00:47:08

>> What was that play?

00:47:09

>> We were We were in the same high school

00:47:10

and we were in the drama stuff together.

00:47:13

>> What was the play that you guys did

00:47:14

together?

00:47:14

>> Inherit the Wind.

00:47:16

>> Oh, wow.

00:47:17

>> A little before my time or something. I

00:47:19

don't know.

00:47:21

>> Sax Tax would be familiar, right?

00:47:22

>> I love it. Is And when you're writing

00:47:25

jokes like this, like what was your

00:47:27

process? Where did you find yourself

00:47:29

coming up with your funniest stuff? Did

00:47:30

you sit down at a desk? I just like to

00:47:34

shoot the [ __ ] on the computer and then

00:47:36

edit it.

00:47:36

>> Yeah.

00:47:37

>> Yeah. Yeah. I like putting on music. We

00:47:39

were playing some music and then I just

00:47:41

>> I kind of did them, you know, we did

00:47:42

this for Saxes and I went a little burnt

00:47:44

earth scorched earth for his 50th. Do

00:47:47

you remember that?

00:47:47

>> Yeah, I definitely remember.

00:47:48

>> I think everybody remembers that with a

00:47:51

lot of pent up anger. Freeberg gave a

00:47:53

set that

00:47:54

>> it was so bad.

00:47:55

>> It was No, it wasn't bad. It was just

00:47:57

mean.

00:47:57

>> It was mean.

00:47:58

>> Yeah, it was lines. I just said the mean

00:48:01

[ __ ] and I didn't.

00:48:02

>> It was like [ __ ] strength like applied

00:48:04

to roast.

00:48:05

>> Yeah.

00:48:06

>> Like it was so it was so mean you didn't

00:48:08

realize it. It stopped being funny, you

00:48:10

know.

00:48:11

>> Let me ask you this, David. Do you

00:48:13

remember uh one of your favorite or one

00:48:16

of the bigger one of the crazier jokes

00:48:18

from the Sachs roast?

00:48:20

>> I don't. No, I'll pull it up later.

00:48:23

>> There's nothing.

00:48:24

>> That was my 50th birthday, so it was

00:48:25

like 20 years ago.

00:48:27

>> Oh, hey. Oh, that little

00:48:29

self-deprecating. I see.

00:48:31

>> That's amazing. But you didn't film that

00:48:32

or anything.

00:48:33

>> I don't Do we have a copy of that?

00:48:35

>> We might have a copy of that one. Yeah.

00:48:38

>> That's what Epstein would do.

00:48:39

>> Is that We We did some amazing birthday

00:48:41

party roast. Jay Cal had one. I had one.

00:48:44

Like we went to Phil with We never

00:48:46

recorded them, which was We were kind of

00:48:48

afraid.

00:48:48

>> We were very afraid of like being

00:48:50

>> We were afraid of getting cancelled.

00:48:51

>> That is correct.

00:48:52

>> Yeah. But now we're uncanced on both.

00:48:54

>> I love that. Perfect.

00:48:55

>> We don't give a [ __ ]

00:48:56

>> Yeah. Freedberg, did you did that go how

00:48:59

it felt like it was going to go for you?

00:49:01

Was there more or less? What was

00:49:03

different? People that haven't tried

00:49:05

comedy or written something?

00:49:07

>> I my cadence is a little off. I got to,

00:49:10

you know, go one or two more rounds and

00:49:11

I think I can get the cadence down. I

00:49:13

liked it. I think, you know, I had some

00:49:15

other material I pulled out. I would

00:49:16

like to try that at some point, but

00:49:18

>> I thought I thought there was some A+

00:49:20

material in there. A+. Yeah,

00:49:23

>> it was great. David Freedberg. Ladies

00:49:25

and gentlemen,

00:49:26

>> you guys are good.

00:49:27

>> All right. Respectable. That's what we

00:49:29

wanted to do. Hey, um, you know, we have

00:49:31

a tradition. We give some bestie awards.

00:49:34

These are the best of the year. And and

00:49:36

maybe our elegant elf Callie can come

00:49:39

out and present us with the fifth annual

00:49:43

bestie awards. Here it is. As you can

00:49:46

see, it's two very heterosexual men

00:49:49

embracing.

00:49:50

>> That makes sense. San Francisco.

00:49:59

Callie.

00:50:00

Hey guys.

00:50:03

>> All right. First up,

00:50:07

>> keep her on.

00:50:09

>> What do you say?

00:50:10

>> Keep her on.

00:50:12

>> Take it easy. She said between the two

00:50:14

of you. Um, all right. So, first up on

00:50:18

the bestie awards is our biggest

00:50:22

business winner. Our biggest business

00:50:25

winner. Who did you have for biggest

00:50:27

business winner? Oh, Sultan of science

00:50:30

alphabet.

00:50:31

>> Okay. Alphabet went from listen to how

00:50:35

crazy the year was for Alphabet. From

00:50:37

two trillion market cap to 4 trillion

00:50:39

market cap this year. That's 170 billion

00:50:41

gain. 10 billion market cap gain every

00:50:44

day. They added 10 billion of value

00:50:46

every day for the entire year. The pivot

00:50:50

in AI, risktaking, cloud's growing 40%,

00:50:53

YouTube's the number one media company

00:50:55

in the world. It's all under one roof. I

00:50:57

think they just crushed it. All

00:50:58

cylinders. Business of the earth.

00:51:00

>> Amazing. Saxs, who did you have as your

00:51:03

biggest business winner?

00:51:05

>> I said construction workers related to

00:51:07

the data center boom. They're seeing

00:51:08

their wages go up 25 to 30%. We're

00:51:11

talking about plumbers, electricians,

00:51:12

drywall hangers, concrete pores. It's

00:51:15

not just tech companies. We're seeing a

00:51:17

larger boom throughout the country

00:51:18

because of AI.

00:51:19

>> Didn't Jim say there's like electricians

00:51:21

that make 500 grand a year or something?

00:51:24

Master electricians? That's crazy.

00:51:27

>> Unbelievable.

00:51:27

>> Pretty incredible. And a and a great

00:51:29

White House talking point for the

00:51:30

midterms.

00:51:33

>> I too had Alphabet and Google. We were

00:51:36

sitting here a year ago. Everybody

00:51:37

thought they would uh absolutely get

00:51:39

killed by ChatGpt and now we're having a

00:51:42

discussion. Hey, ChatGpt is probably

00:51:44

going to get killed by Google. Uh so,

00:51:47

>> oh, go Google Cloud, right? Is that who

00:51:50

that is?

00:51:51

>> Yeah. Uh all right. Biggest just just

00:51:54

out of curiosity because I don't know

00:51:56

how any of this works.

00:51:58

>> What happened to Chat GPT or what did

00:52:01

Alphabet do this year to surprise you

00:52:04

guys other than the results? like how

00:52:05

did they how did they get them? What did

00:52:07

they do? Do you know

00:52:08

>> they well they put AI in into search. So

00:52:11

now when you go to search there's like

00:52:12

an AI interface that pops up

00:52:14

>> and so that's how they drove people to

00:52:16

their AI product cuz they've got the

00:52:18

biggest consumer product in the world,

00:52:19

google.com and then they had a good

00:52:22

product and so they put the two together

00:52:23

and suddenly they're crushing chat GPT.

00:52:26

>> Yeah. Sometimes the first company up the

00:52:29

hill takes the arrows like Netscape, the

00:52:31

browser, eventually wound up losing. Um,

00:52:35

but I think they were also

00:52:36

underestimated and they probably were

00:52:37

very conservative in how they released

00:52:39

products and then they kind of got

00:52:41

permission when Sergey came back to work

00:52:43

full-time at Google, the founder. They

00:52:46

kind of took more chances and yeah, the

00:52:49

the search franchise grew this year.

00:52:51

Everybody thought it would go down. It

00:52:53

grew. My big business winner is uh the

00:52:56

show Kill Tony. I don't know if you guys

00:52:57

have heard about it. Uh a four special

00:53:01

deal on Netflix, which is unprecedented

00:53:04

by any show. And also we ranked number

00:53:06

two at the end of the year on YouTube

00:53:09

only behind my very best friend Joe

00:53:11

Rogan. So that's pretty crazy.

00:53:13

>> Oh, that is number two podcast on

00:53:16

YouTube. YouTube's the number one

00:53:17

podcast platform. Pretty incredible.

00:53:19

>> But by the way, Tony, can I tell you

00:53:20

something? I I didn't tell you this

00:53:21

before. When I came and saw your show in

00:53:23

Austin,

00:53:24

>> I hadn't seen a Kill Tony show before.

00:53:26

So, someone I was with said, "You should

00:53:28

go check this out." And that's how we

00:53:29

ended up going. And then I came back and

00:53:31

I'm like, "I should watch Kill Tony." I

00:53:33

would say I've watched maybe a hundred

00:53:35

episodes since I've come back. It's so

00:53:37

big.

00:53:37

>> It's so And it's it's timeless the

00:53:39

content. And so every night when I'm

00:53:41

like ready for bed, I'll put on YouTube

00:53:43

and I'll watch a Kill Tony episode.

00:53:45

>> It is literally like my goto media now.

00:53:48

>> The live is the gateway. I highly

00:53:51

recommend checking one out live because

00:53:53

you can feel while it's funny to watch

00:53:56

online when when it's live, you can feel

00:53:59

the opportunity of failure that they

00:54:01

have. You can you're like they're right

00:54:03

there. Anything can happen. This could

00:54:06

go terribly wrong.

00:54:07

>> It feels dangerous. It feels

00:54:10

>> and then it's so great. You're wait it's

00:54:11

almost like waiting for the big game

00:54:14

moment to happen. Like you're waiting

00:54:15

for that big champion to show up like

00:54:17

that guy you had a couple of weeks ago

00:54:18

who you made up.

00:54:19

>> Dedric Flynn. That guy was insane. And I

00:54:21

think

00:54:21

>> it's amazing. In just four weeks, he was

00:54:23

made a regular randomly. Pulled him out

00:54:25

of the bucket. Saw him. The interview so

00:54:28

likable. I skipped golden ticket and

00:54:30

made him the first appointed regular

00:54:32

that we we maybe get one of those every

00:54:35

two years. Cut to four weeks later last

00:54:38

on this past Monday, he literally did a

00:54:40

rap about how rich he is already.

00:54:42

>> Like he did a whole rap performance

00:54:44

about quit next week. He's like, "I'm

00:54:46

out of here. I'm going to do you get a

00:54:48

piece of it or does your agent just

00:54:50

snipe these people?

00:54:51

>> No. Well, I mean actually that's an

00:54:53

interesting question because now they

00:54:55

the entire industry is watching Kill

00:54:58

Tony to see what's actually next. I am

00:55:01

the first uh that bucket is the first

00:55:03

line of defense. Howie Mandel watches

00:55:06

every episode and they get booked on

00:55:08

America's Got Talent based on if they're

00:55:11

unbelievable on Kel Tony.

00:55:13

>> You should offer them a show on your

00:55:15

channel. That would be the ultimate

00:55:17

move.

00:55:17

>> Remember like Johnny Carson used to be

00:55:19

the thing where a stand up would go on

00:55:20

Johnny Carson and if Johnny invited them

00:55:23

to sit down then they had a career and

00:55:25

you've kind of become the new

00:55:27

>> but he's kept it fair. What's crazy is

00:55:28

that guy um Dedric Dedric.

00:55:31

>> Yeah. Dedric.

00:55:32

>> Dedric. He

00:55:33

>> he's so black you don't you can't even

00:55:34

say his name.

00:55:36

>> Absolutely.

00:55:37

>> He put his name Dedric.

00:55:39

>> Don't use that generic word that you

00:55:40

used. do it. He put his name in the

00:55:44

bucket for 2 years to get called. So, he

00:55:46

moved to Austin

00:55:47

>> 39 weeks in a row and he was just about

00:55:51

to stop trying

00:55:52

>> and then he got pulled and then he and

00:55:54

so unlike all these other guys where

00:55:55

there's control systems in Hollywood

00:55:57

with agents and producers and they're

00:55:58

like, "Here's the guy that's going to be

00:56:00

the winner." These guys all have a

00:56:01

democratic shot. They have an open shot

00:56:03

at getting in that bucket and getting

00:56:04

pulled, which is what I love about it.

00:56:05

You never know what you're going to get

00:56:07

and it's like everyone has a shot. So,

00:56:08

it's not like this control thing. You

00:56:10

know what you should do is if they agree

00:56:11

to do it, you should say just as a thank

00:56:14

you, we want the option for you to come

00:56:16

do one Kill Tony special a year for the

00:56:18

next two years. Like not something

00:56:19

crazy, but just

00:56:20

>> You should You should take business

00:56:21

advice from JKL.

00:56:22

>> Absolutely.

00:56:23

>> Hey, I built the number one podcast of

00:56:25

the world.

00:56:27

>> It's It's not just you. He gives me

00:56:29

advice. He gives the president advice.

00:56:31

>> I gave the president great advice and he

00:56:33

said even Jason has good advice. All

00:56:35

right.

00:56:36

>> Even JCO. Even Jake, biggest business

00:56:39

loser. Who's your biggest business

00:56:42

loser? David Saxs, who's the biggest

00:56:45

loser?

00:56:46

I said universities. The margin of

00:56:49

Americans who now believe that college

00:56:51

is worth the cost has gone from plus 13

00:56:54

a decade ago to -30.

00:56:57

Minus30.

00:56:58

>> Wow.

00:56:58

>> So no one believes that college is worth

00:57:00

the cost anymore.

00:57:02

>> Amazing. Great. Great poll. What do you

00:57:03

think Freedber discovery? I think the

00:57:06

fact that the M&A deal is being done at

00:57:08

three times the value that this thing's

00:57:10

been trading at for the last couple

00:57:11

years really shows how they undermanaged

00:57:13

the business. The content itself is

00:57:15

worth so much more. They were never able

00:57:16

to get value out of it, which speaks to

00:57:18

what a terrible,

00:57:19

>> you know, kind of management they've

00:57:21

they've had there. And yeah,

00:57:22

>> which company did you say?

00:57:23

>> Warner Brothers.

00:57:24

>> Warner Brothers that just got beat.

00:57:25

Yeah. You owned the stock, didn't you,

00:57:27

in your thing?

00:57:27

>> I cleared it. I was like, I these guys

00:57:29

are going you missed the outcome.

00:57:32

>> I did miss the outcome. Yeah, it was it

00:57:33

was a rare miss for me. Um, I went with

00:57:35

Apple.

00:57:36

>> Wait, hold on a second.

00:57:37

>> They didn't listen to your advice.

00:57:40

>> I mean, the problem was I had all these

00:57:42

other things that had won and I had a

00:57:44

bunch of gains and I needed to sell my

00:57:46

losers.

00:57:46

>> He put all his stock trades on the

00:57:48

internet, Tony. But then

00:57:49

>> I called it J trading and it went up 5x

00:57:51

and 3x.

00:57:51

>> But he bought a whole bunch of Warner

00:57:52

Brothers. He's like, "This is the next

00:57:53

big thing." And

00:57:54

>> I thought Disney and Warner Brothers

00:57:55

would figure it out. Neither of them

00:57:56

have. Uh, my biggest business loser was

00:57:58

Apple. Um, this company has unlimited

00:58:01

distribution and uh unlimited capital

00:58:04

and the most impressive thing they've

00:58:06

done in the last 10 years is a thin

00:58:08

iPhone. Uh, what a missed opportunity

00:58:11

and uh yeah, I mean maybe the best thing

00:58:14

they've done recently is Pluribabus. I

00:58:16

don't know if you guys are watching

00:58:16

that, but Oh, people like it. Yeah, it's

00:58:19

a pretty great show. Literally, if I'm

00:58:21

thinking their, you know, streaming show

00:58:23

is the best thing, they've got a

00:58:24

problem. Um, who's the biggest loser in

00:58:27

comedy?

00:58:28

uh the biggest loser in comedy right

00:58:32

now.

00:58:34

And you know, I love here's the thing is

00:58:37

that

00:58:37

>> entertainment,

00:58:38

>> right? Well,

00:58:40

you know, the biggest loser really are

00:58:42

these are these giant movie studios

00:58:45

which still are virtue signaling and

00:58:49

afraid to take any chances whatsoever.

00:58:52

The last movie with any edge at all in a

00:58:56

theater I think was The Hangover which I

00:58:58

think was 2006

00:59:01

2005

00:59:02

>> and it made a billion dollars that

00:59:04

franchise.

00:59:04

>> Yeah, exactly.

00:59:05

>> Are they coming to you asking you to do

00:59:07

one? I would think that would be a very

00:59:09

natural play but there's no studio who

00:59:11

would do it. So maybe like A24 or one of

00:59:13

the smaller ones.

00:59:13

>> We are working on something and really

00:59:16

Yeah. And it's going to be it's going to

00:59:18

be

00:59:19

>> You heard it here first. definitely the

00:59:21

answer to that and it's all happening

00:59:23

and it's going to

00:59:24

>> Well, they let you do what you want.

00:59:26

>> Yes, we already we we went and got

00:59:28

independent uh financing for it, my

00:59:31

amazing team over at UTA. Uh

00:59:34

>> wonderful. What um what uh there

00:59:40

>> anything that would be analogous or

00:59:42

inspirational for you? Are there films

00:59:44

that informed this one? Are you a Tropic

00:59:47

Thunder film fan? Are you like Easy

00:59:50

Money, Rodney Dangerfield from back in

00:59:51

the day? What do you What comedians in

00:59:53

films did you love?

00:59:54

>> Um, I mean, without a doubt, and it's an

00:59:59

odd pick because it's not the one

01:00:01

everybody thinks that I'm going to say,

01:00:02

but Kingpin with Woody Harelson and Bill

01:00:06

Murray,

01:00:07

>> I think, is the best Fairly Brothers

01:00:09

film. I think it's the funniest thing

01:00:11

Bill Murray's ever done. I think it's

01:00:13

the funniest thing Woody Harrelson's

01:00:14

ever done. And if you haven't watched it

01:00:16

in the past few years, go back, watch it

01:00:18

one more time. It's unbelievable. Seems

01:00:20

like it's a movie about bowling, but

01:00:22

it's not at all. It's just hysterical. I

01:00:25

had a bunch of seven and eight-year-olds

01:00:28

over for my daughter's uh birthday party

01:00:30

and we did a film. So, I said, "Oh, you

01:00:31

guys should watch Bill Murray and What

01:00:33

About Bob?"

01:00:34

>> And uh this was like a loved film, PG. I

01:00:36

thought this would be fine. They're 8

01:00:38

years old. And in the film, they use all

01:00:42

these, you know, dick breath idiot, you

01:00:45

know, they just do this thing. And then

01:00:46

I went to school the next day and three

01:00:47

parents cornered me here in the Bay

01:00:50

Area.

01:00:51

>> Can we talk to you about your film

01:00:52

selection? My daughter came home and she

01:00:54

said, "Dick breath."

01:00:56

>> And I was like, "Have you seen What

01:00:58

about Bob?" And the parent was like,

01:00:59

"No." I was like, "You should watch it.

01:01:00

It's incredible." Like our daughters are

01:01:03

never coming over your house again.

01:01:04

>> Right. Meanwhile, that same San Fran

01:01:06

parents probably like, "Do you know

01:01:07

there wasn't a single trans character in

01:01:10

that movie?"

01:01:12

And she said dick breath, but I think uh

01:01:14

they should actually have dick breath

01:01:16

because they should have dick breath

01:01:18

because there's nothing that's off

01:01:19

limits.

01:01:21

>> Jason, we got uh two minutes to get

01:01:22

through.

01:01:24

Two minutes lightning round. Go.

01:01:26

>> Okay. Biggest political winner is the

01:01:27

Democratic Socialist of America.

01:01:29

>> Okay.

01:01:30

>> Sadly, biggest political winner. Well,

01:01:32

this may be a talking point, but I'm

01:01:33

going to say crypto. A year ago, there

01:01:36

was a war on crypto.

01:01:38

>> Okay.

01:01:38

>> They were worried about going to jail.

01:01:40

Now, we've passed legislation. We're

01:01:42

getting a fair shake from the

01:01:44

government. It's total change.

01:01:45

>> Yeah. Incredible. You know, I had your

01:01:48

pick, uh, Zoron, uh, Mani Socialism. I

01:01:52

also had the America First movement

01:01:53

that's, uh, burgeoning. But I gave it

01:01:55

some thought and I thought, my lord,

01:01:57

there's one individual who part time

01:01:59

went to the government and took crypto

01:02:01

and made it legal and created a

01:02:04

framework for it. They made sure that

01:02:06

America would be absolutely competitive

01:02:09

in the AI race, the most important race

01:02:11

of our lifetime and in fact in

01:02:13

humanities. So hands down, my biggest

01:02:15

political winner of 2025 is Mr. David

01:02:18

Saxs.

01:02:23

Okay.

01:02:25

Political winner for you. You don't give

01:02:26

a [ __ ] What do you think?

01:02:28

>> Uh, a political winner for me, you know?

01:02:33

I mean, I really, again, I'm just a big

01:02:37

fan of this president. People can say

01:02:39

that I'm I kiss ass and that and that

01:02:42

comedians shouldn't. There's this thing

01:02:44

that I've been hearing where people are

01:02:46

like, you know, comedians should be

01:02:48

punching up, not punching down. You're

01:02:51

supposed to make fun of the big thing.

01:02:53

Well, if nobody if everybody is making

01:02:56

fun of that one thing, then I think it's

01:02:58

kind of funny to go the other way

01:03:00

>> and to push it up. So, I literally have

01:03:03

in my standup set pro Trump jokes, which

01:03:08

nobody's [ __ ] doing.

01:03:09

>> Which one lands the most?

01:03:11

>> I make fun of his autograph. If I say he

01:03:13

has the most obnoxiously cool autograph

01:03:15

in the world. It looks like Lizo's heart

01:03:16

rate.

01:03:17

>> And he actually does.

01:03:20

>> My biggest political loser sacks,

01:03:23

>> by the way, he does have the best sense

01:03:25

of humor.

01:03:26

>> Must be of any president we've ever had.

01:03:29

>> Hysterical.

01:03:30

>> Oh, I anyone who spent time with him is

01:03:33

just blown away at just how funny he is

01:03:35

all.

01:03:36

>> All the best comedians talk about how he

01:03:38

might be the funniest human being on

01:03:41

planet Earth. This is a conversation

01:03:42

I've had. I'm not going to name their

01:03:44

names, but you can put it together in

01:03:46

your head. I'm talking about the actual

01:03:49

best comedians in the world.

01:03:52

>> All of them.

01:03:53

>> I believe

01:03:54

>> all of them. Michael Richards.

01:03:56

>> Um, no, I'm kidding.

01:03:59

>> You know, you know, you know who the

01:04:00

best are. And yes, they all agree. I

01:04:03

mean, there's just there's funny is

01:04:04

funny. It's undeniable. Literally. God

01:04:07

damn it. I'm blanking out. This week he

01:04:09

did something so [ __ ] Oh, the Somali

01:04:12

thing.

01:04:12

>> Yeah,

01:04:13

>> it's a it's a hell hole.

01:04:16

They come over here and they [ __ ] and

01:04:18

complain. Like it's it's just common

01:04:21

sense and that's the funniest.

01:04:22

>> I still love when Zoran visited him and

01:04:24

he says it's okay, you can say.

01:04:26

>> I'm [ __ ] It's easier if you just tell

01:04:28

them tell them, "Okay, yes." Okay, let's

01:04:30

go. Come on. Let's keep going. Okay.

01:04:31

Biggest political loser, Saxs.

01:04:34

>> My biggest political loser is Europe. M

01:04:37

>> it's a civilization that's in decline.

01:04:41

They're losing economically,

01:04:43

geopolitically, socially, culturally,

01:04:44

and they can't seem to reverse that

01:04:46

trend. It's very sad. Political loser

01:04:48

Freeberg, the founding fathers.

01:04:52

>> Wow. Because I feel like free speech,

01:04:55

property seizure rights, you know, we

01:04:57

read this this excerpt from these two

01:04:59

Thomas Jefferson letters, and you can

01:05:01

read a lot of these. Just ask Gemini to

01:05:02

tell you about some of the things that

01:05:04

the founding fathers wrote. And if you

01:05:06

spend time with them and translate them

01:05:07

into modern English because they do

01:05:09

write in a very poetic frilly way, there

01:05:12

is so much of the principles and the

01:05:14

founding fathers that are lost in how we

01:05:17

are kind of devolving into this

01:05:19

organizational system where the

01:05:20

government is everything in our lives,

01:05:22

everything in our country. The

01:05:24

individual liberties are being taken

01:05:26

from us. And and I don't mean taken from

01:05:28

us in a sense that they're being seized.

01:05:29

We're voting for a government that

01:05:31

dictates our lives, that controls what

01:05:33

we eat, how we eat, how we live, how we

01:05:35

get paid, our checks. I think the

01:05:37

majority of Americans today live on

01:05:39

checks from the government through the

01:05:40

government. And I think that the

01:05:41

founding fathers would have been really

01:05:44

um saddened at the state.

01:05:46

>> I went with uh Well, well said. Well

01:05:47

said. I went with um Steven Miller. I

01:05:51

felt his performative cruelty uh was a

01:05:53

detraction for the 47th administration.

01:05:56

Um, what?

01:05:57

>> And that was a uh that's a shame because

01:05:59

I loved his band.

01:06:01

>> Yeah. This is Biggest Political Loser.

01:06:04

>> Yeah.

01:06:04

>> Mine's Gavin Newsome.

01:06:06

>> Yes. Yes.

01:06:09

>> I mean, the hair is great.

01:06:11

>> Yeah. Great hair.

01:06:12

>> That's enough for you liberals to be

01:06:14

impressed by. Absolutely.

01:06:15

>> Oh, he's got hair. [ __ ] amazing.

01:06:17

>> Uh, let's go with breakthrough of the

01:06:19

year. Freeberg, what's your breakthrough

01:06:20

of the year?

01:06:21

>> Okay, we haven't talked about it on the

01:06:22

show. This definitely deserves a science

01:06:24

corner, but asteroid Bennu, NASA sent a

01:06:26

probe. They pulled a bunch of samples

01:06:28

up. 2020, they landed back on Earth

01:06:30

2023. 2 days ago, they showed that on

01:06:33

asteroid Bennu, there is nucleic acids.

01:06:36

There are amino acids, there are sugars,

01:06:38

all of the building blocks of life were

01:06:40

found on this asteroid floating through

01:06:42

space.

01:06:42

>> Wow.

01:06:43

>> Can I can I ask you a question?

01:06:44

>> Yeah.

01:06:45

>> Did the asteroid make it to Uranus?

01:06:49

>> Free, this is great, but you're putting

01:06:51

the audience I honestly think just for a

01:06:53

brief moment before we make the jokes,

01:06:54

this is going to end up being one of the

01:06:56

most like amazing discoveries of our

01:06:58

lifetime because it really does show

01:07:00

that life is not necessarily unique to

01:07:03

planet Earth. This was a asteroid that's

01:07:05

been floating around for 4 and a half

01:07:06

billion years and it's got all the

01:07:07

components of life on it. It's pretty

01:07:09

incredible discovery.

01:07:10

>> It's amazing.

01:07:11

>> And it is made out of sugar.

01:07:13

>> It's got sugar on it. It's got glucose

01:07:15

on it. Freeberg, how many times have you

01:07:16

masturbated to this asteroid so far?

01:07:20

>> Um, all right. Uh my thank you. My

01:07:23

breakthrough of the year is uh three or

01:07:24

four

01:07:25

>> humanoid robots. I think uh we're just

01:07:28

underestimating the the progress these

01:07:30

will have. Um everybody's going to get

01:07:32

their own C3PO/Freeberg.

01:07:35

So we won't be the only ones with a

01:07:37

robot in our lives. Saxs, what was your

01:07:39

biggest?

01:07:40

>> I just said uh being able to use

01:07:41

Starlink on commercial flights. I mean

01:07:43

it's like you can actually use the

01:07:45

internet now.

01:07:46

>> Hold on a second. I'm calling [ __ ]

01:07:47

You haven't been on a commercial flight

01:07:49

since since Clinton was in office.

01:07:51

>> Oh, that's that's true. I was I was

01:07:53

doing it for you guys. I mean,

01:07:55

>> honestly, when were when were you last

01:07:56

on

01:07:56

>> Last time you flew commercial?

01:07:58

>> For you, Jake Ellis. For you.

01:07:59

>> Thank you.

01:08:00

>> Was Was it Is it more Is it more

01:08:02

>> I'm on the people. I was thinking about

01:08:03

you.

01:08:04

>> Is it more than 10 years? More than 10

01:08:05

years since you've been on a commercial.

01:08:06

>> I set the over under at 15 years.

01:08:08

>> I haven't been on a commercial flight

01:08:10

since um 2012.

01:08:13

>> 2012.

01:08:14

>> I don't know how to be real. I mean,

01:08:15

what do you do like it?

01:08:16

>> Jake, what's the Wi-Fi password on the

01:08:19

Lolita Express?

01:08:23

>> Apparently, it's one, two, three.

01:08:28

Oh, is that two? Is that a strike?

01:08:30

Really? Wait. Sorry. Sorry.

01:08:32

>> Come back.

01:08:33

>> Okay. I just We'll cut that. They said

01:08:35

people see.

01:08:36

>> By the way, why is it that all the

01:08:38

liberal guests that you bring on the pod

01:08:42

are like regular visitors to Little St.

01:08:44

James,

01:08:45

>> that's you're talking about what?

01:08:48

>> All of your liberal buddies that you

01:08:49

bring on the

01:08:50

>> guy. Okay.

01:08:52

>> But um he he did get some good um dating

01:08:54

advice apparently. Um

01:08:56

>> Oh, come on.

01:08:58

>> CE

01:08:59

CEO of the year,

01:09:01

>> not named Elon Musk. We all consensus

01:09:04

have to pick

01:09:06

>> Jensen Wine. 33 years in the making.

01:09:09

Built a flywheel, had the vision, stuck

01:09:11

through it. ups and downs. For whatever

01:09:14

people said every generation of the last

01:09:16

33 years, he kept building and this

01:09:19

flywheel finally took off. And here's a

01:09:20

crazy statistic. Nvidia 4.5 trillion

01:09:23

market cap. That's up from 300 billion

01:09:26

36 months ago. So this is a company that

01:09:28

in 36 months created $4.2

01:09:32

of market value. That's hundred billion

01:09:35

every month for 3 years straight. It's

01:09:37

incredible.

01:09:38

>> I think it's insane. Max, who is your

01:09:40

CEO of the year, not named Elon Musk?

01:09:43

>> Well, that was a great one, but I'm

01:09:44

going to go with Alex Karp because if

01:09:47

you heard him,

01:09:49

>> if you heard him speak at all in Summit,

01:09:51

I think he brought down the house. He

01:09:53

out Tucker Tucker. I mean, so in

01:09:55

addition to Palanteer being a monster of

01:09:57

the last year,

01:09:58

>> I went with uh Nvidia, Trump's favorite

01:10:00

company, and Jensen Wang as well. Let me

01:10:03

just say again, even this isn't even

01:10:05

though this isn't my territory, I want

01:10:06

to give a shout out to a couple badass

01:10:08

[ __ ] Nick Khan and Paul Le

01:10:11

over at the WWE

01:10:14

have taken on this massive historical

01:10:16

company while you know and and and put

01:10:20

it on have made so many huge deals with

01:10:23

so many different networks to bring in

01:10:24

so many big.

01:10:25

>> Are you a WWE or a UFC guy?

01:10:28

>> I'm both.

01:10:28

>> You're both. If you had to only go to

01:10:30

one. In fact, since this is the only

01:10:31

place that it would be interesting to

01:10:33

ever mention, I it was the only TKO is

01:10:37

the only ever stock that I ever told my

01:10:40

guy, my golf buddy who actually after

01:10:43

years of insisting I should give him

01:10:45

money to put in stocks, which I never

01:10:46

believed in cuz I'm an Italian poor kid

01:10:49

from Youngstown, Ohio. I believe before

01:10:51

that just have cash in a shoe box is

01:10:54

like the way to have money. But then the

01:10:56

only

01:10:58

heid

01:11:04

was TKO because I

01:11:06

>> Dana White knows how to put on a hell of

01:11:08

a show and I know that obviously the WWE

01:11:12

is always amazing and always growing. So

01:11:14

it's the only one I ever told him to

01:11:15

get. And we've seen, you know, whatever.

01:11:17

And in my little world,

01:11:18

>> did you buy the Nvidia?

01:11:19

>> Yeah. Wild wild success.

01:11:23

>> Yeah. So unlike Jal, you held the stock.

01:11:25

Yeah. Yeah. Great.

01:11:26

>> And by the way, we had Paul Le Triple H

01:11:29

speak at the All-In Summit. So, nice.

01:11:31

He's a big wrestler. I'm a big fan.

01:11:33

>> Oh, I love that. I was just with him. I

01:11:35

hung out with them just last night.

01:11:37

Smackdown was in Austin.

01:11:39

>> All right. Now,

01:11:41

>> each host

01:11:42

>> gets to pick their disclad

01:11:45

>> of the year. The most disgraceful

01:11:48

moment, person, company, or trend.

01:11:51

Disgraciad of the year.

01:11:55

Desraad.

01:11:57

>> He was the best guy around. What about

01:12:00

the people he murdered?

01:12:03

>> You can act like a man. What did I do?

01:12:06

>> He's just killed little [ __ ] man. You

01:12:08

insulted him a little [ __ ]

01:12:09

>> I'M SMART AND I WANT TO SPIT.

01:12:11

>> WHAT'S WRONG with you?

01:12:12

>> Your hair was in the toilet water.

01:12:14

Disgusting. I had to suffocate you. You

01:12:16

little It's a disgrace.

01:12:21

Disgraciad.

01:12:23

All

01:12:24

right, discretzia.com.

01:12:27

>> Tony, whenever you're ready, you can

01:12:28

give us yours. But Freeberg, who's your

01:12:30

discretzia?

01:12:31

>> The crackdown on speech in Europe. Um

01:12:34

3,000 plus arrests in the UK for

01:12:36

malicious communication, mostly fines,

01:12:39

but also incarcerations, including

01:12:40

recently calling a convicted rapist a

01:12:42

pig and landed someone in jail. 84,000

01:12:45

politically motivated communications

01:12:47

crimes in Germany. 6,000 defined hate

01:12:49

crimes based on speech in France. across

01:12:52

Europe. Uh this has become a major

01:12:54

issue. Again, I'll reflect on Gavin

01:12:55

Newsome vetoing SB771 in this state, but

01:12:58

we were very close and I think it's very

01:13:00

important that we pay attention to it.

01:13:02

>> Saxs, that's a really good one. It's a

01:13:04

good one.

01:13:06

Well, I I would agree with that one, but

01:13:08

the one I me I would choose is that at

01:13:11

Stanford they said that if you're

01:13:15

disabled, you get more time on tests and

01:13:18

you can kind of be unproctored and kind

01:13:21

of

01:13:21

>> accommodations,

01:13:22

>> right? So now 50% of students at

01:13:25

Stanford say they're disabled.

01:13:29

>> And you had a case to make yourself and

01:13:31

you never pulled the Asberger's card. I

01:13:32

never pulled that card. But anyway, but

01:13:34

no, this is all part of a piece with

01:13:38

grades. Basically, there's no grades

01:13:39

anymore and everyone sort of claims to

01:13:42

be disabled in order to get special

01:13:44

advantages. Disgraciad.

01:13:45

>> Disgraciad. My disclassiad uh was very

01:13:49

good. Was socialism in New York, my

01:13:50

hometown, uh absolutely disgraceful. Um

01:13:54

and the actual true New Yorkers didn't

01:13:56

vote for it, but the people who've been

01:13:57

there for under 10 years did

01:13:58

overwhelmingly discretion for me. Tony,

01:14:02

who's your discretion for 2025?

01:14:06

>> Uh, I'd have to say the people that just

01:14:09

cheered that people won't be leaving

01:14:11

California next year in this crowd is

01:14:13

the Disgracion.

01:14:16

>> You guys realize there's other places,

01:14:19

right? I was guilty of it, too. I lived

01:14:21

in LA happily for almost 20 years. I

01:14:24

loved it. I never I really never thought

01:14:26

I would move to another place. as a

01:14:29

touring comedian, you know, you go visit

01:14:32

places and you would go back to LA. That

01:14:34

was just the headquarters. It took so

01:14:37

much chaos for me to even try to f to go

01:14:41

to another place and fall in love with

01:14:43

it. But um when you do try other places,

01:14:47

you find that it's better than this and

01:14:48

it's definitely better than this cuz LA

01:14:51

is better than this and this is just the

01:14:54

worst. And the world, and by the way,

01:14:56

the world is laughing at you. And some

01:14:59

of you are booing, but you're clearly

01:15:01

not the ones making the money off the

01:15:02

app that shows you where the [ __ ] on the

01:15:04

sidewalks is in this hot [ __ ] dump

01:15:08

that you call home. So anyway, you're

01:15:11

the Discratia.

01:15:14

>> I love it. Bringing the heat. See, I'm a

01:15:15

real wrestling fan. I'll do a heel turn

01:15:20

way to win the audience.

01:15:21

>> You had the You They loved you for 90

01:15:23

minutes. doing so well you couldn't help

01:15:25

yourself.

01:15:26

>> Burning attack.

01:15:27

>> [ __ ] you [ __ ]

01:15:28

>> That was not only a heel turn. It was a

01:15:30

low blow. It was a chair shot over the

01:15:33

head.

01:15:34

>> Yes. Of the entire audience.

01:15:36

>> And what's perfect is that I half of

01:15:38

them now won't bother me at the

01:15:40

afterparty.

01:15:41

>> It's a win-win right there.

01:15:44

>> Okay. All right. Listen,

01:15:47

this has been absolutely amazing. Let's

01:15:50

give it up for the one, the only Tony

01:15:53

Hench. Your friend is unbelievable.

01:15:57

I need to thank Tony. Tony, thank you

01:15:58

for what you do. People don't have to

01:16:00

agree with your speech. I feel it's

01:16:02

really important that comedians um act

01:16:04

as the flag bearers. Uh to keep freedom

01:16:07

of speech alive, for all the the the

01:16:10

jokes we can make about the things you

01:16:11

say and the way you you offend people, I

01:16:13

think that pushing the limits is so

01:16:15

important. Um and for that, I appreciate

01:16:16

what you do and love your work. Yeah.

01:16:18

And then mostly we say

01:16:21

>> honestly I think this is like the most

01:16:23

fun uh Christmas party we've had

01:16:26

>> ever

01:16:27

>> ever and probably the most fun event

01:16:29

we've ever had is because of Tony here.

01:16:31

No question about it. So thank you.

01:16:35

>> I'm just kidding audience. You're not

01:16:36

really that much of a discretz but it's

01:16:40

walking it back.

01:16:41

>> They were with you until that.

01:16:42

>> Yeah. These these nerds are used to

01:16:44

they're having flashbacks to getting

01:16:45

bullied back in the day. You just you

01:16:48

just stuffed them all in the locker

01:16:50

metaphorically.

01:16:51

>> We'll see you

01:16:52

>> and we really appreciate all of you

01:16:54

coming out tonight.

01:16:55

>> Yeah. Thank you guys so much for coming

01:16:56

out.

01:16:57

>> Honestly,

01:16:59

>> I didn't know what to expect from this.

01:17:01

And honestly, this is the most fun we've

01:17:03

ever had during an event.

01:17:04

>> Happy holiday.

01:17:05

>> Thank you to all of you.

01:17:12

>> Let your winners ride.

01:17:23

Heat.

01:17:27

Heat.

01:17:56

Heat up here.

01:18:11
