And uh, he is doing his 40th birthday in Mekonos. Wow. Um, real for the people, you know. Yeah. Just for the every man. Every man. You know, every man can go to Mekonos. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. So he's having a blast out there for a big happy birthday in Amanda. And some lot of friends love that a big crew. Um, unfortunately, I could not go. Um, I have a board meeting. Um, this week in New York. So I'm back to New York. What? Back to New York back to New York tonight. Uh, actually, I was able to go. I'm going Monday night. Nice. Um, but yeah, uh, it's interesting. I was like, it was impossible for me to go because the board meeting and work and kids and whatever. Um, and then I also like, and the back of my head was like, I just raised all this money. If I was like in Mekonos, like a week later. Yeah. Yeah. That's interesting. That's sort of typical. Whatever it makes fun of. If your founder is in Mekonos. Yeah. That's really interesting that like you're a part of that now. You know, I'm very conscious of it. Like everything. A lot of people aren't right. I think here's what here's what I've realized. I think a lot of younger people are not people don't understand how impactful their social media is to their work profession. Yeah. Perception. Yeah. Not even profession. Perception. You know, when, when 10 years ago, work and social, social media were two different things. Yeah. Now when you see your coworker, your boss, your investor, yeah, anyone, I even tell everyone in my company, like, you don't want me to follow you. Yeah. I don't think it's an advantage to you. Yeah. I think it's actually very negative if I follow you. I agree. I want to follow them because whatever I enjoy their company and want to I'm curious. But I also like, if I see you parting on a Sunday night, and I see you dragging your ass on a Monday. That's true. Then I'm just more irritated. I rather not know as I get older, less and less reasons for me to put like I hardly post anymore. Yeah. Because it's just like, I mean, the only nice part about posting is when, you know, you see your friends like it or they're like, oh, good job or whatever the fuck, whatever you're posting. Yeah. But that's like, if I wanted to do that, I could just send, I make a group chat with my 10 friends about, okay, guys, just send them to the gym today. I'm married. Yeah. I just want to tell you guys. But yeah, like, for if you have a job or a, I don't know, you're totally right here. Even for me, it's also now that my kids go to a certain school and not even a certain school, a school. Yeah. I don't want the parents like I even, I have already had this challenge. My kids go to two different schools, both schools. There's kids who, parents who listen to the podcast. Yeah. I'm terrified of that. I also think it's like, who knows? People could see that you're in me canos and rob your house. Yes. Oh, yeah. That's like another piece of it. Yeah. I literally think now, I think also part of why I don't post much is because I don't even want to be on people's minds. Yeah. Having anything nice. Yeah. You know I mean forget me. Yeah. Just forget about me, dude. I'm not here. Don't rob me. Yeah. I don't even say out there in me canos. They were telling them, hey, you know, some of his friends had flashier watches and stuff. They're like, oh, really? Kill that. Yeah. I just wonder, because you know, there's this whole like school of thought, which I think is valid. And like, obviously, Gary Vee went on for years about how every, everyone should be a content creator, essentially. But I think that's definitely a group. And there's a group of people that should definitely do that constantly. But, but I think you could do it professionally and literally leave you, leave your entire personal life out of it. Yeah. Even if you're, let's say, a fashion influencer, you could still showcase your style, your lifestyle, like your pretend lifestyle, but literally never share anything personal. Yeah. That it's, it's really tough, because like, all the things I loved about social media, now I'm afraid of. Yeah. Which kind of sucks. I'm the same way. I also think I just spent like 10 years where like, yeah, you're on TV. That was different. It was that, but it was also that when we were building young and reckless, was like right when I don't remember exact dates, but like, I think young and reckless started like a year or two before Instagram. Yeah. And then Instagram started. So then Instagram became this like huge tool. And so I just felt like if my numbers were going up, business is good. Yeah. If the numbers were going down, people didn't like my posts. I'm going to go broke. Yeah. Everything's going to fall apart. Yeah. And now that I don't have to do that, it feels so nice. And people aren't like, you know, judging where I'm going or yeah, I could go to Mekonos for a week. And you guys wouldn't even know. I was supposed to buy it in six months. My biggest thing about posting now. So I think I've done three, two posts this technically three. I did New Year's Day. Yeah. They wanted to post my, our kids Christmas picks. Yeah. Then I posted a Dominic's graduation from preschool. Yeah. And then I posted like, there's six and third birthdays. For me, it's like, I want those memories in like eternity. Yeah. Just so that they're there. Yeah. For them. Yeah. So like, you know, 20 years from now, like, damn, dad didn't even post it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. That's true. Like you're, you're going to share a lot of your life. So I have a lot of friends who've never shared their kids pictures publicly ever. Yeah. Not one. I'll tell you what I started doing, which if, you know, I always have these weird things. And if anyone wants to jump on this, it has been really great. Is I made a photo album on my phone. Yeah. That says 2023 highlights. Okay. And so, you know, this weekend, I went to a wedding. And so I come home. And in the normal time when I would post from the wedding, I just picked a couple photos that were really great. That's cool. And I put them in my 2023 highlights folder. Yeah. And there's been a couple of times, like on flights or whatever, where I've went through that folder. And it just looks really, it's like, oh my god, what a great year. Yeah. Yeah. And that's a really good way to like, save. Yeah. Good key moments, you know, my pictures. Like, I would, it's so disorganized. Yeah. Like, bazillion pictures. Yeah. I looked at weird screenshots of like, fighting. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, oh, my god, I literally, we need to take a month off. Yeah. Of life. It's my picture. I started at the beginning of this year. And now I just do it. Like, like I said, it's like, when I would post, yeah, I do that instead. And then you're also not like, it's worried about if the photos are good or how's the angle or whatever. No, yeah, you just want the memory. Like, that's my biggest thing at this point. It's like, you know, especially what after my father passed. Yeah. Like, there were so many awesome pictures of our childhood. Yeah. Of like trips and this. And it was like, cool to see those. Yeah. And that was an era where you didn't take nearly as much pictures as you do now. But you valued them so much. Oh my god. Yeah. Like, they're embedded in my head. Yeah. Like, I can visualize the pictures every day. Yeah. My childhood home is just filled with photos. Yeah. Um, what else was I going to say regarding social media? Yeah. I think so. I don't remember. It must not have been that important. Cut this out. Oh, no, no. Here's the last thing. Here's the last thing. Here's the last thing that I like about posting is, um, I don't know if you experienced this because you're a pretty social and check in with people and you're out and about. There are so many people that listen to group chat that are our friends. Yes. That feel like we talk. Yeah. Twice a week. Yes. That I have not heard from. Yes. Years. Yeah. And I'll run into them. This has happened a lot of times. Yeah. I'll run into them. Like, damn, how you been? And they're like, oh, good. I listened to you twice a week. Yeah. And I'm like, what the fuck? I don't, you never, yeah. It only goes one way. Yeah. It's funny. And so I feel like, damn, there's all these people that just don't reach out to me. Yeah. Which admittedly, I'm not very good at that either. But most of them, at least are up to date on your life. Well, and they're listening to the podcast. So they feel like we're talking. Yeah. But we're not. You know, so what I post, you know, you hear from those people, you know, it would be kind of cool concept like this. Like, if my friends, like, I travel a lot, I don't get to see most of my friends. Yeah. Like, very little, very little time to spend with friends anymore. If my friends just did a podcast for like the five of us. Yeah. I would listen to it every day. It does be like, oh, what are you doing tonight? Talking shit. Yeah. Where'd you go to dinner? Cool. Like, basically, I want to recap of my group chat. Yep. I wish they did. Would you have to? He had a podcast. Mikey could have a podcast. That's all the other day. Mikey has a girlfriend. I was like, I, if you were to talk about it on the podcast, I'll listen. Exactly. Just be like, oh, we had dinner here. We did that. Yeah. Listen to 15 minutes of any of my friends. I agree. Give me a recap of the day, even a weekly update. Oh, that's so good. Like, imagine just like you're in your car. It's obvious. You know, I did tacos on Tuesday because that's what the boys do. And then I would listen every week. I'm not kidding. Yeah. That's good. Oh, my God. Okay. Actually, here's an update I want. Locientos during their block party again in Venice next Saturday are the boys hitting it? You got to represent. Yeah. The boys, the boys are probably going to hit it pretty hard. You hit it last time. I saw D there for briefly. I did the matinee portion of the Lociento block party. Is it at their plate like on a abit Kenny or where? It's, it's, I don't know where it is this time, but it's like a bigger party. It was a really big party last time I went. Now it's on on Saturday. And the good thing is it's during the day that goes into the night. It's not in that same spot. New spot. New spot. So if you go to Lociento tequila.com, I think it has all the details. You buy a ticket. You pick it up at the Lociento house and then Saturday they got big DJs, open bar. Obviously tequila insane. The first time was insane. Yeah. It went to the night. But so, except, perfect example that night. I would love a 10 minute audio recap. Yeah. Have you and the boys just talking about what happened? I would die for that. I listen to that over. But then going back to what you said. So I don't post anymore. I know because like you follow me. Everything we just talked about. So like, I, so like, like even when I get tagged and stuff, I don't repost it. I'm just like, fuck D. Like, I just don't want this to look bad at all. Yeah. Not even bad, because like I show up early in stuff. So it's fine. But I just don't even want, you know, I get it. I think you can hide or like block me or something like that. I'm like, maybe I should just do that because I should. Honestly, for your own social sense, you should block me. Why don't you just make it close friends or whatever? Yeah, the close friends. I have a close friends. It's just like, I don't know. Yeah. But then now at this point, like I just don't even post anymore. Yeah. I feel kind of good. It's kind of like relieved from your life. It is because then you're not like worried about capturing the moment. Yeah. I do, I do take less pictures because of it, which I'm kind of annoyed about. That's true. Because I've missed, I've had like some incredible experience the last couple of years and I do not. COVID was like when I officially stop posting. I will say though I'm telling you, I do it. Now I'll take the photo because I have this album. Yeah. I'm like, I want that in the album. And then the other thing is I'll usually take a photo or a video that's much more like real, like a real representation of the moment. Yeah. Instead of like, you know, maybe just complete fuckery, but it's a better memory. Yeah. It's interesting. All right. What about congratulations? I mean, football. So tell me about it. Day one. Let me tell you something. I don't panic much, but I was in deep panic this week because of football because I'm on spectrum. Oh, and spectrum. You're on the spectrum. I'm on the spectrum basically. Yeah. So this weekend is one of those weekends of sports that like, you know, there's probably call it a dozen weekends a year that are epic sports weekends. Yeah. Maybe not even a dozen, half a dozen. For me, I'm a college football guy. Yeah. So Saturday is just packed. Yep. And then there's a huge Texas Alabama game in the afternoon. USC game wasn't on ESPN, not a big deal. There was US open. There was Coco Gough playing. And then Sunday, there's NFL, but there was no, that wasn't an issue on spectrum. But there was again, US opens men's final. And then Monday's Monday, football, which America's past time. 100% huge weekend. So I basically said, if these idiots don't resolve it by Thursday night, I'm out. Yep. They didn't resolve Friday. No, they did not Friday. I'm busy. I come home. And my mom's like, you know, you know, she's watching the kids because we had a school event. And my mom like sports. It's US open semi finals. Yeah. And I'm like, I got to get at least my mom fricking stupid magic at the very least. She's at your house. She's at our house. And so a go on YouTube TV. I sign up. Okay. Relatively easily, not super easy. Yep. Like there is a little bit of friction. Like you do some on your phone, then on your TV, then back on your phone. I did it a couple years ago. And I remember it being a little perfect. Yeah, it wasn't it wasn't seamless. Yeah. There's definitely like I thought I'd signed up and I had not. Yep. And then I had to go check you like, yeah, clearly I'd say yes to pay, but then you have to go to some website. Yeah, whatever. I figured it out. And I got the ESPN whatever situation done for Friday Saturday. Similarly Saturday night, I thought I'd signed up for the NFL package on YouTube. I had not. Yeah. So I woke up Sunday morning and panicked. And I signed up for it. And I was good. Like I had NFL. And let me tell you YouTube TV blown away. Really? So I have. I'm I'm canceling spectrum tomorrow. Yep. My my entirety of my spectrum bill a month is $300. Yeah, that's wild. My TV bill is $185 a month. Depart from that. No, total including. Oh, you're saying 180 plus the add-ons. Yeah. Yep. Plus my internet. It's the rest is in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I have like some phone line apparently I signed up for it, which I don't always get you with the phone line. Yep. So I'm basically going to cut $200 a month tomorrow. Yep. $2400 a year in my pocket starting tomorrow. I wonder how many other people are doing that? Everyone's doing it. But I'll tell you the net actual difference. YouTube TV is $85 a month. Okay. That's what I'm paying. Okay. So I'm going to end up cutting a 120 bucks total. Yep. They're charging me $10 for each box. Get these fucking boxes out of my house. I want to know that. The fucking boxes. This place is a joke. Yep. I mean, it's just YouTube TV is by the way, like I know I think I know there's a little bit of a delay in the game, which is kind of annoying. But it's very slight and multi-view you could like they're going to innovate so fast on it. Yeah. Because now like 10 million people by signed up this weekend. Yeah, imagine they probably had a record weekend. And everyone was worried that it was going to lag or it's not going to work, but it's Google. Like these are the guys you want to bet on. They're going to figure it out. Yeah. And I think they're going to innovate on the TV side and the TV experience way faster. My spectrum experience is the same that it was in 1998. That's true. Nothing has changed. Nothing. It's the same looks the same. I would die to see what their numbers look like this weekend. They must have got slaughtered. So the math says that spectrum, basically because of all the fees, all these big networks are charging, like Disney and people like that, that they basically should not renew these contracts. Lose the fucking customers and focus on broadband internet. Yeah. Like that's where they make their money today. They're profit. Okay. So the key will be right. So tomorrow I'll cut my TV. Yep. And then I'll leave my internet with spectrum for now. But my friend was talking to me about Starlink and said it was ridiculous. Really? Ridiculous. Like the speed is like triple what I get at home right now. Are you kidding? Yeah. And my home is not good. How much is fucking Starlink? I don't know. Let's take a look. But we are out of there. I mean, last week, you know, we work our offices in the same building that we live in. And spectrum was just out for a full day and a half. Elon wouldn't let that happen. $90 to $120 a month for residential, $599 for. And it's faster. Yeah. Starlink Rome, $150 to $200 a month. I think this is like basically permanent Wi-Fi wherever you are. We got a switch. That's wild. Yeah. I just thought spectrum was like still far and away above. Basically, these companies, all they got going for them is that they have these contracts, right? Yeah. That's pretty nuts. That is not what I thought. I thought Starlink was like you can get by if you have to. No, Starlink is way faster. Our friend John, John Alderman, he posted his Starlink on a plane. I was like, wait, you cut it. How did you access that plane? Yeah. I asked him. He hasn't responded. But like, it's kind of fascinating. It was fast on a plane. Yeah. We're out of here. I'm TV on anyway. Yeah. Okay. So are you settled now? How do you feel now going forward? I feel great about YouTube TV. Yeah. The problem is my kids think, I never watched YouTube in my life. I've never seen a video. So at home, the only time YouTube has turned on is for the kids. And so they think we're watching their shit. And I had to draw the line and say YouTube is for NFL kids. Yeah. Dad likes football. Dad likes YouTube now. Yeah. You better share that fucking screen time, homie. Wow. That's funny. Because there's a kid that's probably so confusing. Yeah. This is where I see YouTube. They know when they see spectrum logo. They know it's me. Yeah. They say YouTube. They know it's them. Yeah. That's a brand issue for YouTube. You gotta fix that. Yeah. You gotta fix that. Okay. Well, that's good. I mean, I have not had a cable box for years. You cut the cord. Wow. I cut the cord. And it's totally fine. But I do probably weigh over pay and all of these fucking streaming things because I have YouTube TV and ESPN plus and yeah, obviously HBO and all that shit. Yeah. But it's so much better. But I'm also not a sports guy. So I didn't know if maybe the sports experience is significantly better still. I mean, on your phone, YouTube TV is phenomenal. Yeah. Plus you can just if you're watching a game, you just pop it on your phone because you got to run out. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, spectrum is fucked. And I'm going to start a link. You want to talk about some news? Yeah. Here's more people that are fucked. Yeah. And we've talked about this type of thing. And this is something that I'm very, I don't know. I don't want to say passion about, but I just have a lot of questions about is there's all of these payments and these things and these passes, you know, rent eviction moratoriums and discs and that and all these things that happened during COVID time that have been extended time and time again, seems to me. This is my opinion for political gain. Yeah. You know, you get some cloud. If you say, Hey, guess what? We're extending your thing because we're the best party. One of those massive things is about to resume next month in October. And that is fucking student loan payments. Yeah. Have been paused since 2020. I mean, that's a massive deal. And you know, we've talked a lot on here about the economy and about how, you know, soft landing and maybe even no landing, everything's just fine and interest rates and everything's all good, maybe. But there's all of these looming things. And this is a huge one. And when it comes to, I'm sure there's probably some interesting stats on it that you have. But like, I mean, these payments are very meaningful. Yeah. So have these loans. Is that nothing? 45 million people in the US with student loans and 1.6 trillion of student loans outstanding. The average monthly student loan payment is $200. Yeah. So, you know, back of the envelope map, this is that coBSC letter. It's a great fall and Twitter. They break down things really simply. So someone's got no more spectrum. Yeah. Basically, 9 billion in consumer spending will be subtracted every month, roughly $100 billion a year. Obviously, the impact is predominantly younger consumers. $200 a month, basically, what you end up doing is you probably cut out on dining. Yeah. Is that where you cut it? That's my guess. I think that you probably cut it on, yeah, like postmates. Yeah. Because of the extra delivery fees. Yeah. And then I would say probably like drinks. Yeah. Right. I mean, that has to be what eats up that extra. I mean, yeah. I mean, I would assume in my 20s, alcohol rent or net order. Yeah. Yeah. You mean an order of importance? No, in the order of actually what I spent. Yeah. It's also like Taylor Swift tickets. Yeah. You know, luckily she's down with the tour. I know. I'm saying like the next, right? Like is that where all that money was going? The other thing, you know, people always talk about all these very negative things happening in the economy. There it was announced on Friday, record net worth for American households. Because the stock market's basically ripped all the way back. But by what metric? Like media assets. But like total assets for the top for the top. It just said in bulk total assets. Yeah. And the whole thing's fucking I'm lost. Yeah. The thing is is the wealthiest people their stocks have recovered. Yeah. They're earning five and a half percent on their cash. And so those people are like, yeah, my expenses have gone up. But like, my money just sits in the bank account. Yeah. Like even a million dollars in your bank account. Yeah. Cash. You're making $55,000 a year. Yeah. Just sitting there. Yeah. So you're making $4,500 a month doing nothing. So that's extra $4,500. So even if you're impacted by inflation, this that you're like, honey, you got extra $4,500. Yeah. What do you want to do? Yeah. Hit the slots. Hit the slots. Go see Taylor. Go see Taylor. $4,500 gets you a nice Taylor Swift experience. It does. That's one month. You have 10 more, 11 more concerts. Yeah. Then you gotta go see Beyonce. Yeah. Cause I heard she's great. Metallica. Yeah. Now the rent footballs back in season. Yeah. Yeah. I I just feel like these type of things if we've been getting fake numbers. Yeah. Obviously for wealthy families and people with a million dollars in the bank, they're fine. They're not worried about their student loans. But like, how much have we've talked about like how all of these concerts and all these things have just been ripping or even like just shopping like people go into target. You know, I don't know our younger people just ball in with this extra 200 bucks. So the other thing is we're obviously seeing softness and consumer spend most of the money in the discounters going towards groceries. So you're seeing that across the board. Yeah. But like, you know, in 2008, I knew I had friends losing their jobs. Yeah. Like a lot of friends. Like I knew people that lost their jobs. I knew people that were in real estate. I knew people that, you know, they were financially impacted. Yeah. You know, myself included. But I don't hear that now. Yeah. Like, do you know anyone fucked? No. I mean, one that's like a victim of some sort of crash that happened. Yeah. I think I think I know people that are struggling. And you know, like a lot of people have told me, yes, business is really tough. Yeah. We are struggling. Yeah. And that's happening in some of the stuff I'm involved with too. And like, clear indications that business is soft and slow. But like, I don't know, the gravity of 2008 was like, it was over. I also think that like, I know people who did like layoffs and stuff early on. Yeah. Like last year or whatever. Whenever that was the end of last year. Yeah. And it seemed like people were going to be fucked. Yeah. I mean, obviously people who got laid off, that's not good. But like, it seemed like that was like batting down the hatches for the coming storm. But I don't feel like that storm ever really came. Now, probably good job openings. Yeah. I'm probably good that people tightened up. I don't think it was like, oh, we made a mistake and we should have kept everyone. I don't think that's the case. But like, I don't know of any stories of doom and gloom. But I just wonder is their chain reactions? Like to me, the real estate thing is... Well, the real estate people, I guess, judging my Twitter and what Annan says, people are fucked. I guess I just don't know people in real estate. Yeah. Like, yeah, I just don't know anyone in real estate then. But the couple people that I do know in real estate are fine. They're just, yeah, like you got a work harder than you did in 2021. Yeah. But no one's like losing sleep. But that's just the people I know. Maybe it's not. But either way, my point is there's all this commercial real estate stuff. And it's just what's the what's the trickle effect? There's all of these payments that haven't been due. There's people that just haven't paid rent in three years. I think that's over. Maybe it's ending now. But I know of a building. This is just one building that I happen to know of. It's not that I've been asking around. We're like, they are now bringing in the police and looking for every other loophole they can to evict people because there are people who just haven't paid rent. So long and they can't technically or it couldn't, maybe that's over like in the last couple months, but couldn't evict them by just normal eviction. Just how you haven't paid your out. Yeah. And so, and then student loans and all the stuff, I just wonder, like, is there a chain reaction of some sort? Yeah. I mean, I obviously that that's the expectation at this point. There's all of the data that comes out and everything from real estate. That the one glaring thing is that the house, I think I forgot what was a $158 trillion of net worth of American households, which is a record high right now, record high. The thing is, is housing prices for the most part in America have not gone down. And that's where most people's net worth lays in. So unless housing prices miraculously plummet, which would have to mean that people lose their jobs, that they no longer can afford to live in their homes. And that's why they're forced to sell. But there's still 1.6 jobs for every person in America. So if you wanted a job, you can get one. Blue collar jobs have all seen substantial wage increase. Yeah. So it's really just white collar jobs and white collar people. Yeah. I don't think it's anywhere near a way at all. But it's just strange. Yeah. I just don't quite know how to. It makes sense of everything fell apart. I think everyone would be like, oh, yeah, no shit. Yeah. I could see stuff falling apart and they'd be like, oh, it was because of it. Yeah. Local banks. I wouldn't knew they were overlavered in the fucking whatever. But I don't know. Or nothing could happen at all. And it could just be I just pass it by record. Yeah. And just a huge bummer for everyone with student loans. Because I will say just a buzzkill. Like if you just you kind of forgot about it. Oh, yeah. And then all of a sudden you have this $200 bill. That's how I feel in my business life. Every time I think I've figured something out, something else just punches me inside. Yeah. That's yeah. That's entrepreneurship point. It's a good lesson, you know, an early lesson. Yeah. Hey guys, sometimes you have a good three years and then you just get bucked. Yeah. Welcome to life. Okay. Next up Flexport. You want to talk about Flexport? Yeah. So Flexport is one of these supply chain softwares where the idea basically was around helping people book their freight, ocean freight, particularly from China to America more efficiently. Really blew up during COVID, right? Yeah. I mean, the company was doing really, really well. So like fun story. I met the founders like literally when they started because we were at that time like a decent size importer in LA. So I'm sure their database said, hey, check these guys out. We got introduced them by a friend. I don't remember who. And they were in our office like this is like decade ago. Yeah. And for us, we kind of knew the freight market. We'd already been at 10 years. So we're like, it wasn't a great fit for us. But for a lot of people for their first time importing goods in America, it's very complex. It's a pain. Yeah. How do you do it? And Flexport became this solution for a lot of direct to consumer brands. And then during COVID, freight prices went through the roof. Yep. And I'm sure they had like record, record years, right? And they ended up raising money at $8 billion valuation. And Ryan Peterson, the founder of the business, became like a pretty staple in the news because he was kind of telling everyone, here are all the problems at the port. He was out there in a helicopter delivering pizzas. And like, you know, became a kind of a hero. And everyone felt like Flexport is the future of logistics. And they make a huge hire, Dave Clark, who ran North America for Amazon. This is a mega mega hire. Been there 20 years, type of guy. And I'm sure they gave him big equity, big salary. I don't even think it was a year. This guy didn't last a year. Really? Hand is asked. Recently? Yeah, this week. And less than a year. He basically was like, he sent out a tweet saying, Hey, I love my time here, which company best of luck. And then Ryan Peterson kind of fires out like, you know, first rule, stop making bad decisions. So like, it felt like a shot. Wow. Full transparency, Flexport isn't investor in my business. So you know, go easy, go easy. But it's interesting. Like, all of a lot of businesses feel that once you reach some level, it's great. You can hand the keys off to like the professional, the gray hair, who can maintain your business to the, or even take it to somewhere to a new level. Yeah. The thing that you quickly realize, it's really hard for an outsider to do that. Yeah. And the people that are doing it at scale, are people from the inside, right? Like, that is a really the people that have, like, I think Satya, I don't know how long he was at Microsoft or Sundar at Google. But these guys, I think we're a career company people. Yep. Right. Like, I don't think they just started at Microsoft the day they became CEO. Yeah. Yeah. Satya Nadella joined Microsoft in 1992. He's crazy. So, Jesus, was it packing boxes? Yeah. But even like, so like, you go and hire these people. And does it ever work out? I'm curious. Like, does anyone have an example of like a hired gun? Yeah. That like actually, I mean, I'm sure that it has such a common Google in 2004. Yeah. Google, when did it start? Like a few years earlier? Yeah. It's such a common move. I'm sure it's worked out a bunch, but I think it works on very mature businesses. I also think you got to be really clear on exactly what that person is doing. And they have to be the right fit for it. Because even if that's a little off, it's crazy how catastrophic that match can be, you know. And strategically, like, so Flexport went on this whole new vision of being like the ultimate logistics company and they hired the Amazon guy. They went and bought that business deliver, which is what Shopify got rid of. Yeah. Made a deal with Shopify. Shopify owns a significant stake in the company now. Yeah. And then Amazon did a deal with Shopify now where they're helping on the fulfillment side. So this guy Dave Clark came from Amazon. It's like, does there anything there's, is there like a little, I don't know, was he sent in? Debbie next level. Go in there, fuck shit up. Probably got about a year. Yeah. Come on back, let us know what you learn. Oh, that'd be incredible. He didn't say where he's going, obviously, right? No. And then so I mean, the Ryan Peterson came back now as the CEO, Flexport. Yeah. And I would assume along the way of all this money they've raised, he made some money along the way, but took out secondary and probably has life changing money, my guess. Yeah. He also became a partner of founders fund, which is Peter Teal's fund. So he had like obviously a great opportunity in front of him. For him to want to come back. I wonder if he had to. He's so bad. He had to. Yeah. Because you know, you wouldn't want to. I mean, you're gone. You're gone. If you thought you hired this dude, you took some secondary, you were fine. You had this kind of new life started. You were gone. And this guy was going to sail you right into billions. There was, he tweets out, we have 200 job openings on our website. I have no idea why all of them are officially shot. Everyone that got an offer, we're rescinding. It must have been bad. Yeah. It must have been really bad. Yeah. Also, though, how does it get that far? You know, like even saying we have 200 jobs, you're having to publicly say 200 jobs, all gone, anyone has an offer for a percentage. That's like a pretty big mismatch of strategies. You know, and like, how does it? I think people like at these early stage, you know, Flexible is still in whatever, 10 years old. It's still at early stage company as far as I'm concerned. Like, you need the founder. It's really hard to hire someone that's from outside. That's really hard when you're like doing something a little, like even like Ghost, like when you're doing a new take on a thing. Yeah. It's really hard for someone else to truly get that. Yeah. Because if they did, they would have. Yeah. And it just feels like, I don't know, I also think that there's who knows? I don't know Ryan or anything, but there's kind of that like insecurity of like, you know, you're a trailblazer, but you're like, yeah, but like this dude probably knows how to really do it on another level. Yeah. If I just gave him the playbook, yeah, there's always I've ever heard podcasts of CEOs talking about imposter syndrome and things like that. Or like, you know, I'm new to this. Do I really know better than if I gave this guy the playbook he's been doing it forever? No, you always know better. I think you do 100% of the time I'm convinced you know better. I don't think you can hire for it. It's too fucking hard. Just yeah. I'd be so curious to hear internally, which I never will. You might. Yeah. What if you do tell me? Yeah. And I won't tell anyone. But like just what I don't think I'm a friend podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're a Friday, 15 minute update. Just what happened? Like, how does it get that? What did he? What were the expectations? What did he see where he was like? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wild. Okay. Well, we'll see. Get the pizzas and the helicopters. Yeah. Yeah. You know, get back to your roots. Yeah. People will love you all over again. How about this? In 2011, I'll just read the fucking headline in 2011. San Francisco, who's been on this pod and many pods for all the wrong things in the last couple of years. Here's a good thing. 2011 San Francisco began automatically opening a college savings account for every child that entered kindergarten in the public school system. What the fuck? So I read this headline. I was like, good for San Francisco. Oh, no. Been taking Ls. I don't like your tone right here. Let me tell you. You're gonna burst this out. How much money they gave? They gave, I'll tell you how many kids they gave every kid, yeah, every kid entering kindergarten in the public school system in San Francisco in 2011. Guess how much money they gave them? $20.50. Do you have any sort of, can you give me any productions? One of the students, 17-year-old Yadira Savedra, is one of the more than 600 students from San Francisco who will start college with financial assistance from kindergarten to college. Her parents have now saved $2200 in a universal children's savings account. What are you gonna do by snacks? You can't buy snacks at a college. 50 bucks? What a weird thing to do. What kind of flexes this? We're gonna help kids. In 2011 college is expensive and now they're saying, that's so San Francisco of them. Yeah, and now they're like, San Francisco is like, we've made it so that people are now considering college because we've helped them save money. $2200? I would consider never going to college. That would teach me that life isn't fair. If I, I would be like, you know what? I don't even want to go. The only thing that would be more in San Francisco is if the money had already been stolen. Hey, we saved $2,000, but somebody took it already. Like Jose Sistneros, San Francisco's treasure said these accounts have made a difference. No, it fucking hasn't. Why are you lying to these kids? I mean, good intentions. I'll give them that. By the way, in state public colleges, this is not even California. California is, well, how much was that UCSB? You just went there. Yeah, I don't really know. I had the swim and parent luxury. I wonder how much. Let me see USC. I think it was like 13. It was pretty true. In state tuition, it's 14,600 a year. You just gave this chick $2,300 bucks. What? And said, you know what? Thank us later. The city of San Francisco loves it. So you're out 60 K after four years. And this is not, this is a tuition. It's not. It's a bummer. Not only that, it's a bad life lesson to learn. It's like, okay. So I started in 2011 and I can't even chip away at my fucking college lunch bill. Not the message you want to send. You'd rather just not do it. No, you'd better off, you'd better off never saving a dollar for these kids and just be like, you're fucked. Yeah. In 2011, they showed the told her she's fucked. Don't make them think they played the game. Yeah, still got fun. Just be like in 2011, San Francisco shows up to your school and said, look, kids, I know you are not exceptional. And one of these sports or exceptional grades, you're fucked. Now, I know you're all in kindergarten. And this is a little tough to hear. You had this 50 bucks. But instead, we're going to light it on fire in front of the class. By the way, I went to Target the other day for toys. Yeah, you can't even get a hot Lego set for 50 bucks. No, you literally cannot get a hot Lego set. But why you could project the 50 bucks, you know that you're going to be giving these kids two or three thousand bucks. What the fuck, why is it more on these people are morons whoever did the math and San Francisco and came up with his cock a baby horse shit dumb fucking idea $2,200. Like I would much rather you pick by some criteria that seems fair. Pick a handful, put meaningful money and actually just pay for their college. Why not do that? And then have the story of, hey, look, look at how saving works. Look at how, yeah, where we took care of these kids. But a thousand bucks in there at least just Christ. It's a joke. It's fucked up, man. It's so cool to these kids because they're like, oh, I got money for college because fucking Jose Sistneros came in and told me that I can go to college. I pull up to college. They're like, well, you got 22 hundred bucks. We charged $14,000 a year. And my guess where you live in, you got a, you got a friend. Yeah. Because that's 20. There's $12,000 to live anywhere. So good luck. Betsy. Betsy Sistneros. Oh, man. What a bummer. That just bummed me out. It is. It's all, it's a Ponzi. But you know what it is to me is it's just once again, like political virtue signaling. Yeah, like we did. You didn't do anything. You crushed those kids dream. Yeah. I'd rather you just tell them. In first grade, look, this is what it's going to take to go to college. Do you want to go to college or literally decide now? Decide literally today or just be like, Hey, we gave all of these kindergartners a graduation gift of $2,500 to do whatever they want with. Turns out we did that by putting 50 back in 1986. And here they go. But don't say you helped pay for their college. You didn't. You didn't. I'd rather that $2,500 goes into some S&P account. And then every milestone in your life, you get some funds released. You get you get a job. You get half your money. Yeah, you know, $1,000. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, whatever. You want to get a car. We help you pay for your car. Yeah. College. That's just lying. And by the way, they're then they're going to turn around. The state's going to turn around, give them a bullshit fucking loan and make them sign up for his bullshit college. They probably baited him into it with the $2,500. Now you feel like you have to commit. Yeah, they're like, okay, well, fuck it. I'll go to UC Santa Cruz. You're part of the way there. You're 4% there. Yeah, you're 4% there. You might as well take out the loan. Okay. Cool. Now I took a $50,000 loan and guess what? My UC Santa Cruz philosophy degree. That's heartbreaking. Yeah. What does that get me in? Yeah. What do I get with this? I'm in a one bedroom with four other dudes making a podcast. How about a weekend? How about your weekend? It's so cool. It's it's honestly like punishment. What government does to the kids? Punishment. It is because I do think that it's mainly for them to look good for actual revolt. No, they're not looking for results. There's no results. It's just you want to look good and you know, take the picture and say, can you believe we did this? Do you know the amount of people? I don't know where this article was or whatever, but the amount of people that probably cheered for these people. Yeah. There's probably. I bet no one's saying what we're saying. And by the way, like no one even clicks on the article. So I clicked on it and I was like, oh, that's pretty cool. I wonder, because I was thinking if there was 20 grand at the end of this, yeah, then yeah, you pay for a year and a one year, probably with room and board, and maybe the rest of you, whatever, it's something. You laughed before you even said it. Yeah, 50 bucks. It's a joke. This whole thing is a joke. These are your clowns. You know who's another joke? So I'll give credit where credits do. All the presidential candidates that have been on all in podcasts, phenomenal interviews. Chris Christie was on. I didn't listen. He's a joke. He, I don't agree with anything. Well, he's an idiot. He speaks really well and he's actually very smart, but he's very much like typical politician, not committing to anything. He did say something that I didn't like. But you didn't like. Yeah, but he was saying he was talking about the Indian, Vivek Ramaswami, and he says, he says, you know, he's a guy, you know, you would have stuffed in the locker room in high school. Little racist. And I was like, let me tell you one thing, you're not doing running for president. You haven't ran anywhere. Let me tell you his stuff. It was stuffed. Looked out. No, me. That's funny. That's fucked up. Yeah. He doesn't seem to me like a stiffer. I mean, obviously in his face, but he's the, he's the, he's the big bad guy that was stuffing people in lockers. Yeah, I mean, you're, you're sure. You were definitely getting stuffed. Luckily, we didn't fit any lockers. We didn't stuffed in like bathroom stalls. Well, that's fucked up. Yeah. That's a weird. I think it's like, I think it's a comment that would have worked 10, 20 years ago. What was the reaction? Crickets? Yeah. I mean, those guys are all nervous. They're old and stuck in the locks. Yeah, like, I don't, and like, I think today's children respect intelligence. Yeah, that does. I don't, I don't think anyone's like, oh, that guy's like, they may make fun of a smart person, but like, they're also not like, I mean, I want to be friends with them, but that person's going to be rich. But did he just bend over and kiss Trump's ass after getting fucking destroyed for four years? That's just, I have trouble taking any of that crew serious. Yeah. Yeah. It was an interesting take that he did. And then, you know, he just like, very much like, he's very much just like, pardon? Was we make better? Yeah, his was really good. It was really good. But, you know, it was just more of like, just not committing to anything, typical politician, like, you crane this, that, like, I was an impressed with him by any stretch of imagination. He didn't have any new ideas. Yep. Which I think, if you think about the people that have become president, Biden was just a pure reaction to Trump, but Trump and Obama were truly new ideas. Yeah. And I think this election, you're going to have to have new ideas. Yeah, you have to. You just have to be done on Trump to win. I mean, this guy's just, it's scary. Yeah. These poll numbers, and I just think, I don't know, man. I saw him at a video at the Iowa Iowa State game. They pulled up to a fried house. They trip out. Oh, and I loved it. I think it's, I don't know, man. I think it's coming. Okay. Well, next up, this is my, this is your Super Bowl. This is my Super Bowl. I think is the right way to put it. Like, I was trying to think through my head. Is that the right way to put it? I'll tell you this way. I'm legitimately more excited for this content event this weekend, this week, then I would, then I will be for the Super Bowl this year. Okay. And that is that Walter Isaacson, the author, you know, he famously wrote the Steve Jobs biography and a lot of other really famous, really well done biographies wrote a biography of Elon Musk. And it comes out on Tuesday. Now, here's the fun thing. Have you started seeing the excerpts come out? No, but I've started to see the headlines of the excerpts. So I saw that something about like Elon pausing, startling service in Ukraine because of an attack. And he felt like now he's providing assistance in the war. And so yeah, I just see these headlines, but headlines are blockbuster. I'm so excited. What do we got? You got any headlines? Yeah. I mean, I think the big things are the things that are kind of leaking. I think what's creating a lot of excitement is Bill Gates and Elon Musk's interactions. Yeah. And so one of the excerpts are Bill Gates said to Elon Musk in early 2022. I'd love to come see you and talk about philanthropy and climate. And I guess in that time, Elon had put put aside $5.7 billion into a charitable fund for tax reasons. And Gates wanted to give some suggestions on what to do with that. And so apparently in the past, Gates has brought a son Rory to SpaceX and they were talking about space. And apparently Gates was not he's not big on Mars. Okay. He's not a big Mars guy. And he kind of made that, you know, to him. Yeah. And then one of the times they met Musk replied, or going to meet, I don't have a schedule. Just have your secretary call me directly. And so Gates felt weird having one of his assistants call Musk. Yeah. So he Gates called him directly. Elon. Yeah. Let's congratulate. Just set it up like two old buddies. Yeah. Just landed Gates texted on the afternoon of March 9, 2022. So it's just like the way they and during this time, Gates had famously started shorting Tesla stock. Yeah. And he showed him some numbers that said that you'll never be able to use your batteries to power large cement trucks. And that solar energy would not be a major part of solving the climate problem. Yeah. So fundamentally he disagreed with them. Yeah. And so he said, I'm not a Mars person. So there was like a ton of differences they had. And so all of these excerpts are coming through. And he's talking about giving money to American schools, AIDS, cure, genetically modified seeds that will resist the effects of climate change. And he just that's not Elon. Yep. He's they're just different guys. Yeah. And so he Elon said that Gates apologized to him when he was shorting the stock. And once he had heard I shorted the stock, he was super mean to me, but he's super mean to so many people. So you can't take it personally is what Bill Gates had. I mean, I'm just so excited. It has to be full of weird shit like this. Yeah. It's insane. Like must must I mean, it is insane. You got to read all the excerpts. It's just on and on. I don't know what I'm purposely not doing it. Yeah. It's so good. I want to just soak it all in. Yeah. It's this week. It's this week. I think comes out. Is it coming tomorrow? Tuesday, Tuesday. Books come out Tuesday. I don't know, but it's I don't know. I don't know. But this one is the 12th. I know that you'll read it that night. The whole thing. I can't. They're huge. Really? It's huge. The Steve Jobs one was huge. I probably I mean, if it's as good as I would think it is, the best I can do is a week. And that's a real commitment. But I'm so excited. Plus, it's just weird. Like all the books he's written, you know, even Steve Jobs, he knew he was dying when he agreed to do it. Yeah. Elon, as far as we know, is healthy as can be. And just here you go. Here's this whole biography. Yeah. And to me, this feels like part one. Yeah. Elon's still. What is so much to be done? 50s, right? Yeah. The next 30, 40, 50 years of Elon Musk is going to be patched crazy. Yeah. Yeah. I can't wait. Okay. Well, I'll have a book review on, you know, Wednesday. I'll probably have a little tour of you. Yep. All right. How about this? Walmart is making a change. First ever change for them. In an effort to prevent theft. Yeah. You know, it's been we've talked about a million times. So much theft at everywhere. But at these big changes, you really see it in their earnings reports and things like that. They're able to really add up, you know, kind of all the value. But Walmart has a plan to combat it. What do they got? So specifically in Chicago, they closed four stores, eight and were in Illinois. They were losing tens of millions of dollars a year, just in those stores. Yes. And then recently, they doubled so much that they decided to just basically leave. Yep. And they felt like, you know, we had invested a lot of money in the city. We'd invested a lot of money in the community and it kind of backfired. Yep. So they are now reopening a store. And it's called, will be a neighborhood market. They're one fifth the size of a super center. It's going to be in the Atlanta, Atlanta neighborhood. They will be a police station, a substation inside the Walmart. The substation will provide a place for police to charge their phones and body cameras as well as I have meetings and file documents. So this is a reaction to the community requesting more police presence because they felt unsafe. Think about like it used to be like, hey, guess what? In targets now, there's Starbucks. That's like, hey, in Walmart, there's police substations. There's a national guard charge your body cans. Park your tank out front. Oh my god. We want to fuel up your tank. Come on. We have an AR reloading station next to the fucking sponges. What the fuck? But I think it's going to work. Yeah, I agree. I mean, I do think like like, you know, when I go to New York, Jimmy, people say, oh, be safe out there. Yeah, that's a recent thing. Yep. Be safe is a like everyone. Everyone says, where are you going? Oh, be safe out there. And by the way, like, I give you example, when I go to New York, where I stays in Midtown, yeah, I would tell everyone be safe out there. Really? Fucking zombie land. Really? It is like what I come, when if I come back to my room, like 12, one, 130, it's scary. It's fuck. All of town thing. Pardon? Is that like more of a Midtown thing or definitely more of a Midtown thing? It's not like in the rest of the city. Yeah, like that. I mean, I don't really go much places, but like Midtown, you better have safety. Yeah, safe first. That's just, oh, it's just such a bummer, man. Because like, what are we doing? What? I don't know. The problem is you just want to keep complaining about it. But then you're just complaining about it more. And it's not there's no urgency. Yeah, exactly. The only place you're seeing any urgency is from people like Walmart. Yeah, it was like, hey, we're making a change. Well, because for them, it's like clearly it affects our bottom line. Yeah. And but it does on cities too. They're just too incompetent. Yeah, but there's no punishment to an individual at the city level. I know. If the city falls apart. That's the problem. That's the problem. So that you're not really held accountable. I mean, Gavin Newsom's about to like, you know, you can really impact the tax earnings of California. Yeah. And then go run for president. Yeah. Good job. Look at his hair, though. Yeah. It's good. Handsome. We'll say he's not going to run for president. So we'll say it. I mean, so is it definitely Biden again? For the Democrats? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, who else? Have you heard of another candidate, RFK? They're like drowning him out. Trump's fucking winning. They're drowning him out. Trump's going to win. What do you think? So here's what I want to say thing. I think this next news article is literally going to determine the president. Yeah. And it's not, um, it's not democratically friendly. If you want to go like full on like strategic, this is not checkers. This is chess. Yep. Saudi Arabia and Russia. Love Trump. Love Trump. Love Republican presidents. Cause they like oil. Yep. Saudi Arabia cut and Russia cut 1.3 million barrels of day of oil production. Yep. Through December. We are using a lot of our reserves to fill the gap. Yep. So we're surviving. They could they basically have caused crude oil prices to go damn near 90 bucks. And I think maybe it was 90 on Friday. Yeah. Um, I go I went to the pump. I have to go to the pump after this. I looked on my way down. It is 5 69. Yep. What next to me? And then if you depends on where you end up in the city, it's $6, $7. Yep. And come election day. You have $6, $7, $8, $9. Yes. I think you're really all your values go out the door. Yeah. And that's what people don't realize and appreciate. Um, because that shit is. Yeah. That's what really money. It's matters. Yeah. That's what people like it's very easy to say vote with, you know, the key things that are important to you. Yeah. And then when you can't like get to work or, you know, money because of gas prices, that is the easiest problem for us to solve. We could have solved this a decade ago. We just decided to drill and play nice with Saudi Arabia. Yeah. It's not our problem to solve. Yeah. Yeah. Like the decade ago, we could be, we could be chilling with $40 gas. Yep. $40 crude oil. They could really fuck Biden on that. What if they cut it so crazy that it's like $8, $9 gas? Yeah. Do you think anyone's voting for Joe Biden, $8, $9 gas? Do a chance. Except on it. Do a chance. I'll just on it. Yeah. That's it. $9 gas is an effective. They tell it up and say one vote. Looks like Biden got one vote. It looks like a non-anand. We're not sure here, but thank you. Thank you, Mr. Murthy out there in Mekanos. Looks like a mail-in from Mekanos. Man, yeah, I don't know. I just, and keep in mind listeners, it's not what I want. I'm not, you know, rooting for Trump here, but I just, I don't see, I mean, I think in a debate of any kind, Trump smokes every one of the Republican nominees. Yeah. I mean, the only thing is if Trump goes to jail, that's the only thing. I'm telling you, I think that that's better. No, but if he's in jail, he can't. I think there's a problem. That's amazing. He's directly to DC and gets sworn in. He's wearing a orange jumpsuit. Yeah. Switches real quick. He's wearing his hand cuff. Yeah. Good morning, Americans. That's a red tie. Yeah. I just, I mean, is there any path? Do you know, is there any legal path to them actually making him not eligible? I don't know. I don't know. Because every time this guy gets fucking indicted or something, his poll numbers just go up. I mean, I believe if he was in jail, it would almost seal the election. I'm not kidding, bro. I think they're just playing it so wrong. And their ice and I mean, you can't even talk to RFK on a podcast without getting your fucking thing taken down. Yeah. So they're going to screw him. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They could already feel it. He's like persona non grata. He did the Joe Rogan's. He did the all men's. He's not a lot of, he's not anywhere. So what are they going to, they're just going to say Biden's fine. Yeah. The only thing I guess for Biden where he may not want to run is if his son's shit gets so out of a hand. Yeah. And he just makes a deal with me. I'm going to be like, all right, I'll step. I won't run. But then who goes for the Democrats? Yeah. Then you can then they can have in last minute. Kinda Harris is hated. Yes. But she would be one of the people. They'd probably pull Gavin Newsom dead, right? That's where Gavin comes. All right. Well, it's going to be an interesting year. Yeah. You know, because Trump's going to fight for his life literally. Yeah. So it's Biden. Yeah. It seems like. Yeah. I mean, this is wild. It's crazy. Like, you know, Biden's son is going through all these like charges. And Biden too though. Yeah. He's involved in this show. He's involved. Like whether you want to believe it or not, and you want to think he's got clear. Well, he's getting put through the ringer regardless. Let's just say there was a world where he was totally clear of anything. Yeah. He's going to get. Yeah. Everything's going to get exposed. Yeah. Like he was on the call with his dumbass son. How about the weather? My son was that big of a fucking idiot. And we're not good. Hey, Dad, I got an idea. Uh-uh. I know it's Russian guy. I know. Got a hot deal. Why your vice president? I'm sorry. Even if you did nothing wrong, what are you doing? He was talking about the weather they said. He's a very curious guy. And he likes the weather. And fucking Ukraine. Okay. Uh, let's wrap it up there. We have some shout out. Yep. Who do we got? First one from Nabeel to Elijah. Happy birthday, bro. You've been like a brother to me these past few years.
