Honestly, I think this is like the most fun Christmas party we've had.
Ever.
Ever.
And probably the most fun event we've ever had is because of Tony here.
Please welcome the one, the only Tony Inge Queen.
What the fuck's up, you goddamn nerd?
Tony, any chance we could play Kill Tony tonight?
You guys want to play Kill Tony here?
So you guys prepared for this?
Do you know how it works?
We know how it works. I don't know if we're prepared.
I wasn't expecting to have to do this tonight, but I think I just found a new golden ticket winner.
Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for your besties.
Well, welcome everybody to the second annual.
This is going to be an incredible lineup. We've got so many great moments for you tonight.
Unfortunately, Chamoth couldn't make it tonight.
I know, I know, it's hard, it's hard,
but we have a pretty great replacement that you're going to love.
And, yeah, Freiburg, tell him what's coming.
Hold on, let me get my script.
Wow, so professional.
Do the sponsor shout-out.
Oh, yeah, let me do the sponsor shout-outs
so you don't do it and we lose them.
I would like to thank Google Cloud for their incredible servers.
Yes, thank you, Google Cloud.
Circle for stable coins, OKX.
Thanks for all the love, GROC, Sonic Flights.
Iran has got an incredible lounge.
Thanks again for all of our sponsors.
Give them a big round of applause.
We're going to have a great night.
Man, the casino, everything is here.
Tonight we are going to have the legendary Bestie Awards.
We have some roasting, and we are all going to play Kill Tony.
What?
We're gonna play Kill Tony?
We are gonna play Kill Tony.
Oh, thanks for letting me know.
How many here are big fans of Kill Tony?
Oh, that's incredible.
Well, then, let's just bring out the one.
Chmott's replacement.
Chimots, permanent replacement on the program.
The three of us voted him off the island.
Please welcome the one, the only, Tony Hinchcliff.
Look at that.
Fuck yeah.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, sir.
What the fuck's up, you goddamn nerds?
How about a hand for the All-In podcast, Christmas party?
We're here in San Francisco.
Make some noise.
Do you guys live here in San Francisco?
What a shithole.
It's actually worse than a shithole.
You could actually use a shithole here
to put the shit into
that's on the streets
a shithole would be an actual upgrade.
It used to be so beautiful here.
You guys remember? Remember the intro to full house?
That house is still full
because 23 Somalians live in it now.
Put your phones away, you assholes.
You can watch this on video form later,
you fucking dorks.
Everybody wants their own exclusive.
I'm gonna make it tonight.
I'm gonna have a, my YouTube channel is gonna get extra hits.
California, more homeless people than any other state.
People are struggling,
and you assholes paid 500 bucks
to watch billionaires talk to each other.
God bless America.
Look, billionaires don't have it easy.
Do you have any idea how hard it is
for a billionaire to pretend like they like their kids?
kids.
I had to research
these guys and it was the most exhausting
thing I've ever done.
Absolute dorks. But then I
watched Mountain Head on the plane
and then Big Bang Theory
and Succession and then broke back
Mountain.
And I think I figured it out.
As many of you know,
these gentlemen started the all-end podcast
at the beginning of the COVID pandemic.
It saw massive success
very quickly, which makes sense. People were
isolated and looking for relatable content and what's more relatable than four venture
capitalists playing high-stakes poker.
Their combined net worth of the four hosts is over $3 billion.
You guys realize you don't have to do a podcast, right?
Jake out does.
Whenever anyone is asked what they would do if they had a billion dollars.
I've never heard the answer, attend weekly Zoom calls.
I do love the current landscape of podcasts, though.
How is my show even considered on the same playing field
as what you guys do?
It's crazy, right?
You can listen to four experts educated on economics and technology,
and within seconds, you can switch over to my show
and listen to an Elon Musk impersonator
roasting an aspiring comedian with cerebral palsy.
These guys are all actual things.
friends with Elon Musk.
They told me that. Backstage.
And then they told me their names.
Our friend Elon, of course,
got some criticism from the left at the beginning of this year
when he was accused of doing a Nazi salute.
He said he didn't do a Nazi salute,
but that it was a Roman salute.
He could have just said it was an awkward wave,
and people would have accepted that.
I don't know if Roman salute is the best alternative.
He went with,
behind the Nazis the group who has killed the most Jews,
including Jesus himself.
That's like being accused of visiting Epstein's Island
and having an alibi that you were touring Thailand with Bill Gates.
Yeah.
Can you guys tell Elon to use his rockets
for something positive, like immigration?
Do you have any idea
how fast you can get illegal immigrants
back to where they came from
on a fucking rocket?
I looked into this.
It's 26 seconds from here to Tijuana, Mexico.
It's simple.
You take the rocket, you fill it with illegal immigrants.
You blast that bitch up in the air, right?
You let Elon do his fancy little parallel parking thing
that he likes to do.
You empty the illegal immigrants,
you fill it with avocados.
Yes.
No tariffs on these avocados.
These are the ideas.
There are some critics on the left
that say the hosts of all lynn,
are all too conservative,
calling it an echo chamber.
An echo chamber is also how Marjorie Taylor
Green's ex-husband refers to her pussy.
Ooh.
We may have to edit that one out.
Immigrant jokes are okay, but big pussy jokes aren't?
What kind of party are you running here?
But seriously, it is an honor to be here
at the Christmas party.
Remember, everyone, Santa is watching
to see who's naughty or night.
and you don't want to end up on his naughty list.
Then again, that would be the second worst list
J-Cal ended up on.
J-Cal. His net worth is $60 million.
So on this podcast, he's known as the broke-ass bitch.
He was an early investor in Uber,
and out of everyone up here,
he's the closest one to having to be one of the drivers.
He refers to himself as the greatest podcast moderator in the world.
The people cheering are the people that have not seen my show.
If you get to call yourself the greatest podcast moderator in the world,
then I get to say that I'm a virtue signaling angel investor liberal cuck.
That's what you are.
I get it.
I get the joke.
Fun fact, Candice Owens,
thinks that the leader of France's wife
has a bigger dick than J-Cal.
His angel list flex is the startup equivalent
of that guy who won't stop talking
about his high school football championship.
Oh, okay, lost down the angel investor joke.
All right, that's surprising.
Puerto Rico, very good, sir.
Thank you.
We're trying to forget about that.
J-Cal and I don't have much in common.
I'm a centrist, slightly right-leaning person,
and he's a full-on liberal.
The only thing we have in common is that liberals don't like us.
Chmoth couldn't make it, which is completely disappointing,
and I'm still, if it's all right with you guys,
I'm going to do my Chimath jokes.
They might do a couple extra ones that I thought were too mean,
now that he's not here.
I had to show up for this thing.
He works hard.
$1.5 billion.
He works hard 24-7-11.
He bought into the Golden State Warriors because he heard they had curry over there.
These nerds like sports jokes more than angel investor jokes.
This doesn't even make any sense.
He's got Vindalute?
Indian food jokes, anyone?
He's got a lot of bread.
It's a non-issue.
Okay.
There you go.
He's the best poker player out of the bunch.
He has the most patience because he looks like a doctor.
somebody told me that Chimath has a very hot wife
I wonder what she sees in him
perhaps the hairy feet
all right
oky dokey
Shamatha at one point was a senior executive
at Facebook where he spearheaded several projects
like Facebook phone
Facebook home and Facebook beacon
if none of those ring a bell
it's because they were all completely scrapped by Facebook
Hell of a resume.
Chimoth, did you also pitch the logo ideas
to Cracker Barrel?
How about a hand for David Sacks?
Ladies and John.
Let me just say,
I am a huge
fan of yours.
I just think you're truly so cool
for a genius like you to take a break
from wildly successful businesses
to be a patriot
and share your brilliant mind
for the better of our great nation
is unbelievable.
Agreed.
David Friedberg is here.
It didn't get the lap I expected.
That was supposed to be funny that I just
was nice to David Sachs and then moved on.
Oh, and to Sachs, the Crypto-Zar,
Michael Saylor asked me to say hello.
And if you can do anything, anything at all,
that would be great.
I don't really know what he's talking about,
but the truly admirable feat.
I'm excited to watch J-Cal following your footsteps in 20-28,
is AOC's special advisor
for plugging your own shit on air.
David Friedberg.
He has a segment
on the show called Science Corner.
Or his sax calls it,
or his sax calls it,
time to go.
I didn't think it was possible
to be the third wheel on a podcast with four guys.
Nice.
Nice.
Oh my God.
Cracking yourself up.
David and David, I would like to personally thank you
for both elevating the representation of African Americans
among the billionaire class.
You know, they say we have wealth inequality in this country.
Well, it turns out we fixed it.
We just outsourced it to better Africans.
Yeah, that's America.
That's America, baby.
You see a kid from Johannesburg with a laptop
and he's a billionaire in 10 years.
you see a brother from the south side with a laptop
and he stole your laptop.
It's true. The only black male on the podcast
is whatever the Israeli government has on these guys.
Black male.
All right.
But seriously, to the All-in squad,
thanks for all you do to promote healthy discourse
and share perspectives across culture, tech, and politics.
What you all have built is special
and transcends partisanship.
I'm honored to be here tonight
and I'm very proud to now call each of you, my friends.
Also, can I borrow some money?
Thank you very much.
Awesome.
Oh, great.
Oh, my God.
Man, that was easier than I thought.
Wow.
Yo, that was fun.
Tell me a little bit about the just unbelievable 12-year overnight success
that is Kill Tony.
Yeah, it's a, I just built the show that I wanted to do.
I always was very lucky early on at the comedy store
to get to host the open mics there,
which are three-minute-long sets on Sundays and Mondays
with 40 comedians in a row doing three minutes, three minutes, three minutes, three minutes.
And I would go up after each comedian did three minutes and make fun of them.
And every once in a while afterwards, go up to them personally and say,
hey, you know, if you took a breath sometimes or, you know,
used pauses or sped up or got the mic close to your mouth.
Little advice here and there.
And me and my friends would always have so much fun
sitting in the back of the room watching these open mics
and the things that we would whisper into each other's ears.
I thought we're so funny.
We'd be in the back of the room.
Sometimes we'd be the only people laughing at the open mic
because of what we're saying to each other.
And I thought to myself during this time in which everyone was saying,
Tony, you have to do a podcast, you've got to do a podcast.
you've got to do a podcast. Everyone has a podcast.
It was completely unheard of at the time.
But I thought, why not show how crazy an open mic can be
and the ideas that me and whatever comedian buddies were sitting next to me,
if we shared what we were laughing about with the people,
I think it could be a hit.
And even the co-host Red Band at the time goes,
wait, who the fuck is going to want to watch an open mic?
and I kind of thought everybody would.
So now, yeah, it turns out.
It worked out pretty well.
Yeah.
It's pretty amazing when I moved to Austin two years ago,
and the first thing people say when they land in Austin is,
have you been to kill Tony?
Can you get me tickets to kill Tony?
And you were so nice.
You gave me your phone number.
You said, anytime you want, you come in,
and then I texted you and you ghosted me.
Really? Did that really happen?
No, I just wanted to see if the joke would have happened.
It would have happened if you did text me, that's why.
I deleted your number, but yeah.
No, I didn't.
But it is a phenomenon.
The show is selling out, I don't know, how many weeks you put out at a time.
But my office is over there by Dirty Sixth Street,
and sometimes I'll walk and get a coffee,
and there's two, three hundred people lined up on the street.
They just go to Joe Rogan's mothership,
just to see where it happens.
What's it like in terms of the number of tickets?
And then this incredible scale,
you've now sold out MSG how many times?
Yeah, three Kiltonys and once just for my stand-up.
The stand-up show and the most recent Kiltony
was all after my famous MSG performance.
Oh, yeah, you spoke at the Nuremberg Valley.
So that was even more special
because it was already my favorite arena.
In fact, the only reason I really did that event
was because I was just excited to feel the magic of Madison Square Garden again.
Had it been at, you know, what's the one in Jersey or whatever?
Brendan Byrne?
No, the different arena.
It doesn't matter.
It's in Jersey, it doesn't matter.
Yeah, my point is, had it even been anywhere else,
I don't even know if I would have done it.
But the magic of MSG mixed with the opportunity to perhaps,
perhaps, you know, get a few people, maybe younger people or whoever that were on the fence
to vote what I thought was the right way.
Can I ask, how did that whole MSG thing come about for the Trump campaign?
Because I remember when they asked me to help, and I just threw a dinner.
And when you did it, you know, delivered a killer set that almost like burned the campaign down.
Fake news.
20% Puerto Rican increase in the state of Pennsylvania, an uptick,
because they have an unbelievable sense of humor.
Puerto Ricans do.
You know, when you do this every night and all the time,
you get a really good feel for what you can and can't get away with.
What exactly, where is the actual line?
And I think, and I think in retrospect, a lot of people think
that the mainstream media trying to make it appear like a comedian,
I don't think any of these journalists
did their research. With a simple
Google, you see that I have the most diverse
comedy show
in the world, and that
I push
the limits on whether it be the Tom Brady
roast or the Snoop Dog roast
and all the roasts that I've written on
like the last 13
Comedy Central roast.
That's equal opportunity, basically.
With a simple Google of my name, you can
find out that I was just doing what I
did, and I think they weren't
gambling on the fact because I'm not mainstream, right?
I'm not Jimmy Fallon or any of these darlings of theirs.
I think that they thought that it was going to make everything look bad.
But meanwhile, I think anybody with a sense of humor at all saw it and goes,
I think this is the party with a sense of humor.
Yes.
Meanwhile, they have, the other side had Glorilla shaking her ass,
and like everyone's pretending like that's cool, but that's not cool.
And Tony, can we go back to your point?
Because I thought what was so interesting was your story getting here,
because there's a lot of entrepreneurs,
people that have built businesses in this room.
One of the defining characteristics of building a business is
you have to have grit because nothing goes as planned
if you're doing something for the first time.
And you get your ass kicked.
And if you can deal with that,
you can deal with it again and you can eventually get somewhere.
You started out in L.A.
Can you just talk about not just the idea,
but then what the process was like going from the idea
to having yourself on stage with the future president
at Madison Square Garden,
what was that experience like?
And how hard was that iteration that build
and the struggle to get to where you got to?
Oh, it was insane.
I actually just mentioned this.
I was on Rogan this week with John Cena and it came up,
but I had this moment a few weeks ago
where I Venmoed a buddy
because I thought that I owed him rent
from 18 and a half years ago.
I was sleeping, I was renting the couch in a living room
with four comedians total.
I was one of them.
One had a bedroom with a bathroom,
another one had a bedroom with a bathroom,
and me, and there was a little love seat,
A guy was renting the love seat,
and I had to pay $400 a month rent.
And I literally, even though I was working all the hours
from literally 11 a.m. on the phones to 7 p.m. at night,
and then I would put on the Comedy Store t-shirt
and work the door from 8 p.m. until 2.30 in the morning,
and then do it again the next day.
And because the Comedy store didn't have,
Comedy hadn't had its second huge boom yet,
which was a few years away.
They would cut your hours at the comedy store.
They just wouldn't, not only would you not get overtime,
you wouldn't even get the hours that you actually did work
or really anything at all.
I couldn't make the $400 a month rent.
So anyway, a few weeks ago,
I said to one of the other buddies that had a room,
I go, hey, I think I owe, I still think I owe the main guy,
a few hundred bucks rent.
He goes, you do.
He mentioned it last time I saw him.
Wow.
And so I went to Venmo and I just Venmoed him
a thousand bucks straight up.
And in the caption, yeah, exactly.
In the caption, I go, rent money, 2007.
But Tony, was there a period during that time
when you were going to quit?
Or you said, it's not working?
No, no, these were my favorite times.
In fact, after that, after the 400 rent,
which, by the way, because I couldn't make the 400 rent,
I got downgraded.
Not only was there someone else on the love seat,
someone else moved in that could afford the 400 rent.
So I paid 300 rent for a beanbag on the ground.
And let me remind you,
the bathrooms were in the other guy's bedroom.
So you had to tiptoe,
if you had to pee in the middle of the night,
threw somebody else's bedroom.
So it was after that, actually.
After basically the first year was that,
I decided to just start sleeping in the backseat of my car
behind the comedy store,
where you weren't even allowed to park there.
It's a tiny parking lot.
So I would be up on one of the hills in the Hollywood Hills,
and after at 2.30 or 3 a.m. when you're done,
I would walk up a hill and get my car
and drive it back into the empty comedy store parking lot,
pull into the back.
Juan Carlos, the maintenance man there that would show up at like 4 or 5 a.m.
was nice enough to wait a few hours to try to let me get a few extra hours of sleep
before he would start nailing shit and fixing everything.
And it's literally the times now that I have a touch of success.
It's the times that I think about all the time now.
Every single time I find myself looking at the skyline of Austin
from my beautiful fucking home with a crazy outdoor terrace
and everything the way that I want it,
I think about those times.
The struggle.
All the time.
Was there a moment where you said, I made it?
Yeah.
I mean, it happens quite a bit.
The I-made-it thing happens a lot.
Every MSG, and even, I mean, again, you know, to go back to it,
the Trump thing at MSG being global news was so insane
that not only did I make it,
I feel every time like I'm kind of making it again, you know,
because it just seemed at the time,
there was a couple weeks there where it's literally, you know,
tens of thousands or hundreds of,
thousands of people saying or thinking that that could be it, that it's all over.
What's the best city for comedy right now? Is it Austin? Is it still LA? What do you...
There's no question about it. It's Austin, Texas.
Absolutely.
Honestly, you guys are making it sound really fun. You got you're there, J-Cow's there,
Rogan's there, who else is there?
Elon, Tim Ferriss.
Thanks, let's go shopping.
Shane Gillis.
Shane Gillis.
All of his entire crew is there.
Matt McCusker.
Tom Segura, Christina Pee.
We came and saw you a few months ago when we did that event in Austin.
What was that? March or something?
March, right?
It was incredible. I mean, the crowd.
Yeah, so we got hooked up with your guy, got us some tickets,
and I was with some buddies, and they said, let's go see Kill Tony.
We got in touch with your guy, got into the show.
And I think I had forgotten what stand-up comedy was supposed to be like
from like the late 90s, early 2000s, even into the 2010s.
Because over the last couple of years, we've talked a lot about guys getting their heads
chopped off when they said,
something wrong, Chappelle, and everyone got so guarded in comedy. And I went to your show,
and I was like, what the fuck? Oh, my God. This was tame tonight, but like what went on on your
stage? And then you did a bit where you really tried to push the limits. It was a really
interesting show to watch, because this was like, we were sitting next to each other,
and we were like, oh my God, he's really trying to see how far he could go. And there were
moments where it was like, everyone was just like, oh, wow. But it was so different. And you've
You've really given everyone permission to find the limits, to find real humor,
to find, you know, what's sort of been taken away.
Without a doubt.
And that's what we always did.
Some, you know, some comedians, when they're trying to promote their specials or whatever,
now from L.A. and New York will say things like, oh, Austin,
so that they can get hits on their clip.
You have to talk shit about Austin.
So it's been a thing the last couple years.
And they go, you know, oh, they're just edge lords and this and that.
and they're just pushing limits.
And it's like, we were the comedy store guys
in the middle of the lineup.
When I go to New York, I can perform at any club there.
When I go to L.A., I can perform at any club there.
So we just live there.
It's an amazing place to live.
It's an amazing place to go out and drink and eat
and listen to music and hang out with cool people.
Now your guys are going mainstream.
You're one guy's on SNL now.
Cam, Patterson.
And so much is happening.
But my point is we're doing the exact,
We're not like, let's go to Austin and get even crazier.
We're the exact same people that were in the middle of the lineup at the comedy store.
And it wouldn't have changed.
We would still be in L.A.
If California didn't completely mishandle the pandemic
and let police take such a terrible hit during the George Floyd riots.
That's why you moved?
Yeah.
It's when we all decided to move.
It was an absolute disaster.
The pandemic hit.
You guys saw how California.
The pandemic, things got so bad at one point
that when we were doing our show,
which you weren't allowed to have a live audience,
we were still doing Kill Tonys.
You want to talk about plowing through when times are rough.
Everybody else's podcast during the pandemic skyrocketed like that.
Us, the only show with a live audience was done.
But we didn't stop.
I had to improvise, so we had people send in from home
a video of themselves doing a one-minute set,
which was horrendous.
I'm absolutely terrible.
Worse than doing roast jokes and killing
and have one guy going, ooh,
after each and every joke into a microphone attached to his cheek.
But it was dead silence.
Nothing was funny to us, by the way.
We lacked fucking vitamin.
D, we were used to having the instant gratification of a crowd every single week.
So we're watching these horrific one-minute sets.
And then we would Zoom with the people.
And by the way, don't even get me started on all the technical issues,
playing a video, ending the video,
starting the Zoom call with somebody that probably doesn't have the best Wi-Fi.
No great comedian knows how to work a computer or this or that or anything anyway.
So we were doing this.
And then at one point, we were so excited because they allowed
the fact that you could have tables outside of the comedy store six feet apart in the parking lot.
The parking lot was empty of cars.
Social distancing.
Oh, my God, the dumbest fucking era of humanity that's ever existed.
I know this is San France, so you're like, oh, he's the devil, what's he talking about?
I think we all agree now.
Safety, you got tricked, bitch.
Let me ask about Europe.
Have you followed any what's going on in Europe with speech suppression and...
Oh, it's insane.
It's insane.
Oh, we talk about it in our green room all the time.
Yeah, it's crazy.
I get weekly updates.
And do we worry about that?
You know, we have this bill in California called SB 771, and I got to give a shout out to Gavin Newsom for vetoing it,
all the things you want to say about Gavin, but he vetoed it, thank God.
And this was this hate speech bill that you can't say speech that's deemed hate by the administrative.
in the government.
But those bills are fine.
And it made it all the way through in California,
except Gavin vetoed it.
But those sorts of bills are showing up
that were in the EU and throughout Europe.
I mean, do we worry about that here in this country?
Because I've always viewed comedy
to be the most important test of free speech.
And it really does define what we're being given permission to do.
It's so interesting because I work directly
and I'm insanely in touch.
with these things on a weekly basis with YouTube,
which is, I do believe, the biggest streaming platform right now.
And what's insane is that Netflix and Ted Sarandos
literally is like do whatever you want, go as hard as you want,
push it to the limit, let's go.
And meanwhile, YouTube, every week, something's different.
A black guy right now is only allowed to say the N-1,
a black comedian can only say the N-word
two or three times per minute,
but they're not very clear.
When you don't even notice
when these guys do it, by the way.
It's obviously different
than a white guy saying the N-word way.
That's about Freiburg's average.
Right, exactly.
It's not even funny, Tony.
Don't laugh at his joke.
Thank you, Tony.
We're together.
Oh, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, oh.
But, but yes,
the,
the interesting thing is
that you can say certain words on YouTube,
but you can't say they have them ranked,
and the rules change all the time.
And you don't find out that the rules that YouTube have changed
until your producer goes,
they just demonetize the episode.
And it's been out for an hour and a half,
which is when everybody's going to see the episode,
or the age restriction is a killer.
Yeah, we got hit with that restricted content.
Almost everyone that watches the show is over 18.
However, who the hell wants to log in to their stuff?
I mean, you dorks do, but real people don't want to.
You know, they just like going to YouTube, typing in the show, and there it is.
It aired an hour ago, here we go.
And then if it says age restriction, just to check to see if you're 18,
which, what a fucking joke, because every kid can also access anything anyway.
We got age restricted.
Yeah, we got restricted content.
COVID warnings.
But I guess your point, Tony, is that there are gatekeepers
that control the distribution channel, in this case, YouTube.
Without a doubt, and I'll say this, again, you know,
I don't want to keep getting political,
but there was a time there towards the end of that last Biden administration
in which we were seeing things go the wrong way,
on wrong way, on almost a weekly basis.
Like, why did this one get demonetized?
How did this one get demonetized?
And you have to do a lot of digging
because they are just robots over there
until you finally get big enough
to get a human contact at YouTube,
which is like a big deal for...
It was definitely going the wrong way,
and it felt like every week
there's some new category of thought and expression
that you couldn't say,
and they were banning new things.
And then, frankly, Elon bought Twitter,
and that was the first event that shifted
the momentum.
Oh, there's no doubt.
And now the EU's coming after him,
they find him 120 million euro yesterday.
It's like Europe never got the memo.
Yeah.
It's over.
Will you guys tour in Europe,
or is it like not worth it?
We did.
We just did in June,
and we, unless they basically give us Buckingham Palace,
we'll probably never go there again.
It was the worst kill Tony in the history of our existence.
Why?
The comedians were just terrible.
We've done quite a few in England
and Ireland and stuff.
Just the comedians were terrible.
The vibes there are rough.
There's just this never-ending gloom in London.
Yes.
The food is beyond all.
They used to be funny though over there, right?
We were going to, I'm sorry.
We were going to the locals.
Like, please, anything.
Where can we get a steak?
Where can they overcook us a steak?
Oh, it was fucking crazy, man.
And I mean, everything, it became a running joke
because we got there a few days early
to settle in and kind of, you know, ease into it.
So that's, you know, three meals a day.
Even if it's just three days,
that's nine terrible meals in a row.
Right.
And you're coming from Austin,
where we have the best food in the country.
In Austin, it's unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
We have hundreds of restaurants better than
anything we tried of the fanciest crap in London.
And they open seven new ones a week.
I mean, it does say something about society
when comedy is appreciated more in the Middle East
than it is in London.
Yeah.
I mean, it's pretty crazy.
No, it really was.
Hey, Tony, any chance we could play Kill Tony tonight?
You guys want to play Kill Tony here?
All right.
Is it true?
Did you guys prepare something?
Oh, whoa.
Oh, my God.
Well, please. This is Callie, our elegant elf.
Callie, the elegant elf.
You guys have your own Heidi. That's amazing.
Yeah, she's here.
That's a San Francisco, Heidi.
So she has a penis?
Asking for a friend.
San Francisco, Heidi. There's got to be a surprise underneath that's great.
Oh, boy, here we got.
This place is ridiculous, by the way.
You guys all better be wildly successful for living here.
I walked outside of my hotel earlier
There was literally two dudes
banging against a tree
I looked the other way
and there's a guy taking a shit on the sidewalk
and a lady walks up to me
and tells me to put up my cigarette
What is going on with San Francisco?
Crazy. Kind of nuts.
So you guys prepared for this?
Do you know how it works? You get 60...
We know how it works. I don't know if we're prepared.
You get 60 seconds uninterrupted.
You know that your time is up
and you're the sound of a kitten.
Wow, you really got it.
Then you have to wrap it up then,
or else you bring out the Angry West Hollywood Bear.
Okay.
You guys want to do this?
All right, this is All-in' Kill Tony, ladies and gentlemen.
All right, going up first.
Make some noise for Jason, everybody.
Oh, my Lord.
Wow.
All right, all right.
Well, many of you know, I moved to Austin and I got a ranch, and I also lost 40 pounds,
so now it's a fat-free ranch.
Thank you.
Yeah, I would have fat-shaming.
But I'm a little nervous about doing a minute up here.
I don't know how I'm going to get through a minute without interrupting sacks.
Tony, I'm a huge fan.
I'm a big fan of yourself, Joe Rogan, Redband.
Headband. People say I name drop a lot, but I just got a text from Elon. He says that's not true.
It's not true. It's great to be, thank you. It's great to be here with three of my besties and a new one.
We're missing Chimoth. Now, some people say Chimoth is a douche. I don't agree. I don't agree
because women get something out of putting a douche inside of them. Oh, I thought that one would land.
Sacks, my Jewish friend here, is the...
Oh, God.
Okay, I don't know if I should say this one.
Go for it.
Okay, I'll do it.
Go for it.
Go for it.
Okay.
Sacks is the only Jewish guy who built an app
to remind his friends to pay him back.
All right, that's my time, everybody.
Thank you.
Jason, everybody.
Wow.
You don't want to do the interview portion?
You got to do the interview.
You got to stay up there.
Oh, I'm supposed to stay up.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Stay standing.
It's not that easy.
What do you do for a living?
Yeah.
I've got a podcast or two.
So did you, how hard did you prepare for this?
I guess
2,500 podcast episodes later.
Yeah.
I love it.
I love it.
Now, when you were writing this material,
were you planning on doing the joke
and then turning and seeing,
and seeing if we were laughing each time.
That could have been a tactical mistake.
You're supposed to engage with the audience
and stay focused on them.
Yeah, okay.
What do you do for a living?
Oh, product manager at Google?
Sorry about the layoffs.
I don't even know what kind of tech jokes, you guys.
I don't even know what kind of inside baseball nerd shit
is going on here.
I feel like I walked into a Magic the Gathering convention.
Is stand-up something that you've ever wanted to do?
Or is this just spontaneous for you?
Just spontaneous.
He's more of a magician.
No, that's not true.
Do you have magic tricks?
I have no magic tricks.
Do you have any other special skills?
I can get three narcissistic Asperger's venture capitalists
to show up every Thursday and tape a podcast.
That's my only trick.
That's amazing.
Good answer.
They appreciate it.
You know what, Jason?
I think you did just fucking good enough.
Come on back and sit down.
Let's keep it moving.
You guys having fun out there?
Yeah.
All right.
Well, this is my fucking guy,
ladies and gentlemen.
As you know, I love them.
You love them.
Make some goddamn noise
for the one and only David Sachs.
All right.
Tony, thank you so much for being here.
I loved your roast of Puerto Rico.
You went so hard.
after a Latino island.
I'm shocked President Trump
didn't appoint you, Secretary of War.
J-Cal, I've been following your feed this week.
I really appreciate your support for all in tequila.
I know you love it because you finally get to take a shot
that's not Ozzympic.
It was only a matter of time
before J-Cal got in the beverage business
because I've never met anyone more thirsty than J-Cal.
He spent his entire life dreaming of the day
he would see his name mentioned
alongside the world's most influential people.
Congratulations, Jason.
You finally did it.
You're in Epstein's Black Book.
I knew the Epstein files were a hoax
as soon as I saw that J-Cal was in them.
Who didn't want to blackmail a loser?
All right, let's talk about Chamath.
Chamath is a prime example
of why unlimited immigration
is not in America's interest.
Chamath is from Sri Lanka.
Tony's description of Puerto Rico didn't offend him
and made him homesick.
Do I have time?
Can I keep going?
All right.
Chamath has angered so many investors.
Spack now stands for
seriously pissed at Chamath.
And Freiburg, our Sultan of Science,
what can I say about Freeberg
that hasn't already been said
about watching paint dry?
Freeberg lives life as a vegan,
and that's exactly what it feels like
to hang out with him.
You know there are more satisfying options on the menu,
but you made a decision,
and now you're stuck with it.
You've all tried those tasteless beyond burgers.
Well, Freeburgers are beyond friend.
All right, thank you, everyone.
David Sachs, ladies and gentlemen.
Unbelievable.
Oh, okay, I got the interview part.
You're good.
You're good.
I got to tell you, man, that was un-fucking believable.
I wasn't expecting to have to do this tonight,
but I think I just found a new golden ticket winner.
Have you ever done stuff on stage before in a non-business, like, sense?
Well, we've done a couple of roasts among our friends at birthday parties before.
We did a J-Cal roast.
We did a Phil Helmuth roast.
There's a lot of material in both of those cases.
Yes.
So we've done, you know, we've done some friend roasts.
We did your 50th roast.
Yeah, my 50th birthday, we actually did a big roast.
These guys were all part of it.
So we had a little bit of roast experience.
Amazing.
It shows Sacks.
That was absolutely incredible.
How about one more time for David Sacks, everybody?
Did he get his $15,000 in money worth
and the comedians he hired or no?
Is that how much he spent?
Yeah, do you expense the comedians to all in
or do you pay for him out of pocket?
That was incredible.
That was amazing.
Are we going to have Freedberg do his set?
Who wants to hear of Friedberg?
Let's do it.
Tony, hype me up.
Let's go.
Absolutely. Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for your final comedian of the night.
David Friedberg, everybody.
So great to be in San Francisco.
The streets are like Chamath. They're totally full of shit.
Thanks for being here, Tony Hinchcliff. I love the show.
I've worked in agriculture for years, so I'm used to working with genetically modified fruits.
Tony Hinchcliff's actually a GMO. A gay man, obviously.
Chimov couldn't be here tonight because he's feeding the hungry.
Just kidding, that's below his line.
Speaking of hungry, J-Cal,
you're looking great, buddy.
Thank you.
Now you only have to buy one seat on Epstein's plane.
J-Kal, your weight goes up and down more than Chimov's back portfolio.
In fact, you look so skinny now, I confused you for Chimot's legs.
Chimov's legs are so thin, he wears socks,
leggings and thermals.
He covers up more than Sacks does for the Trump administration.
Sacks, congrats in all the success, but the stress is clearly getting to you.
You look like someone microwave John Lovitz.
All in is what Sacks says when he's cheering on an ice vehicle.
Let me know us.
We're all so different.
I'm just the science guy.
I study black holes while Chimoth invests in them.
Here we are enjoying the holiday spirit together.
I know that.
things I said tonight might be a little mean, but the world's already burning.
Figured I might as well burn some bridges.
All right.
Brush vest.
Free bird.
Wow.
Amazing.
Have you ever done anything, again, non-business, like performative?
No.
Historically?
A play, nothing.
A little play acting growing up, a little musicals, a little, yeah.
Yeah, I know J-Cal is going to...
A little summer stock.
You know, oh, you know, here's a factoid no one knows.
I actually starred in a play.
with Rashida Jones.
You know, Rashida Jones,
the actress from Parks and Rec?
What was that play?
We were in the same high school
and we were in the drama stuff together.
What was the play that you guys did together?
Inherit the wind.
Oh, wow.
A little before my time or something.
Sax would be familiar, right?
I love it.
And when you're writing jokes like this,
like what was your process?
Where did you find yourself
coming up with your funniest stuff?
Did you sit down at a desk?
I just like to shoot the shoo.
shit on the computer and then edit it.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I like putting on music. We were playing some music, and then I
just... I kind of did them...
We did this for saxes, and I went a little burnt
earth, scorched earth, for his
50th. Do you remember that?
Yeah, I definitely remember that. Everybody remembers that.
There's a lot of pent-up anger.
Freeberg gave a set that...
It was so bad. It wasn't bad.
It was just mean. It was mean.
It was... I forgot to do the punchlines.
I just said the mean shit, and I didn't...
It was like retard strength.
to roast.
Like, it was so me, he didn't realize
it and it stopped being funny.
Let me ask you this, David.
All grievances.
Do you remember
one of your favorite or one of the
bigger, one of the crazier jokes
from the Sacks roast?
I don't, no. I'll pull it up
later. There's nothing?
That was my 50th birthday, so it was like 20 years ago.
Hey, oh.
That little self-deprecating.
That's amazing, but you didn't film that or anything?
I don't know, do we have a copy of that?
We might have a copy of that one, yeah.
No, that would be bad news.
That's what Epstein would do.
We did some amazing birthday party roast.
J-Cal had one, I had one.
Like we mentioned, Phil Helmut.
But we never recorded them, which was,
we were kind of afraid to record.
We were very afraid of being weird.
We were afraid of getting canceled.
That is correct.
Yeah, but now we're uncancelable.
I love that.
Perfect.
You don't give a fuck.
Yeah.
Friedberg, did that go how it felt like
it was going to go for you?
Is there more or less,
What was different? People that haven't tried comedy or written something.
My cadence is a little off. I got to, you know, go one or two more rounds, and I think I can get the cadence down.
I liked it. I think, you know, I had some other material I pulled out. I would like to try that at some point.
I thought there was some A-plus material in there. A-plus. Yeah. It was great. David Friedberg, ladies and gentlemen.
You guys are good. All right. Respectable. That's what we wanted to do.
Hey, you know, we have a tradition.
We give some Bestie Awards.
These are the best of the year.
And maybe our elegant elf, Callie, can come out and present us with the fifth annual Bestie Awards.
Here it is.
As you can see, it's two very heterosexual men embracing.
That makes sense.
San Francisco.
Kelly.
Callie.
Oh, hey now.
All right, first up, keep her on.
What do you say?
Keep her on.
Take it easy.
She's between the two of you.
All right, so first up on the Bestie Awards is our biggest business winner.
Our biggest business winner.
Who did you have for biggest business winner, O Sultan of Science, David Freeper?
Okay, alphabet went from...
Look into how crazy the year was for Alphabet.
From 2 trillion market cap to 4 trillion market cap this year,
that's 170 billion gain, 10 billion market cap gain every day.
They added 10 billion of value every day for the entire year.
The pivot in AI, risk-taking, clouds growing 40%.
YouTube's the number one media company in the world.
It's all under one roof.
I think they just crushed it, all cylinders.
Business of the year.
Amazing.
Sacks, who did you have as your biggest business winner?
I said construction workers related to the data center boom.
They're seeing their wages go up 25 to 30%.
We're talking about plumbers, electricians, drywall hangers, concrete pores.
It's not just tech companies.
We're seeing a larger boom throughout the country because of AI.
Didn't Jemov say there's like electricians that make 500 grand a year or something?
No one of master electricians?
That's crazy.
Unbelievable.
Pretty incredible.
And a great White House talking point for the midterms.
I too had Alphabet and Google.
We were sitting here a year ago.
Everybody thought they would absolutely get killed by chat GPT,
and now we're having a discussion.
Hey, chat GPT is probably going to get killed by Google.
So, oh, it's a lot of cloud, right?
Is that who that is?
Yeah.
All right.
Just out of curiosity.
Yes, Tony.
Because I don't know how any of this works.
What happened to chat GPT,
or what did Alphabet do this year to surprise you guys?
Other than the results, like how did they get them?
What did they do? Do you know?
Well, they put AI into search.
So now when you go to search, there's like an AI interface that pops up.
And so that's how they drove people to their AI product
because they've got the biggest consumer product in the world,
Google.com.
And then they had a good product.
And so they put the two together and suddenly they're crushing chat GPT.
Yeah.
Sometimes the first company up the hill takes the arrows,
Netscape the browser eventually wound up losing.
But I think they were also underestimated,
and they probably were very conservative
in how they released products.
And then they kind of got permission
when Sergei came back to work full-time
at Google, the founder,
they kind of took more chances,
and yeah, the search franchise grew this year.
Everybody thought it would go down, it grew.
My big business winner is the show Kill Tony.
I don't know if you guys have heard about it for that.
a four special deal on Netflix,
which is unprecedented by any show.
And also we ranked number two
at the end of the year on YouTube,
only behind my very best friend Joe Rogan.
So that's pretty crazy.
Wow, that is incredible.
Number two podcast on YouTube.
YouTube's the number one podcast platform.
Pretty incredible.
But by the way, Tony, can I tell you something?
I didn't tell you this before.
When I came and saw your show in Austin,
I hadn't seen a Kill Tony show before.
So someone I was with said you should go check this out,
and that's how we ended up going.
And then I came back and I'm like,
I should watch Kill Tony.
I would say I've watched maybe 100 episodes
since I've come back.
It's so big, and it's timeless, the content.
And so every night when I'm like ready for bed,
I'll put on YouTube and I'll watch a Kill Tony episode.
I love that night.
It is literally like my go-to media now.
The live is the gateway.
I highly recommend checking one out live
because you can feel, while it's funny to watch online,
when it's live, you can feel,
the opportunity of failure that they have.
You're like, they're right there.
Anything can happen.
This could go terribly wrong.
It feels dangerous.
It feels like...
And then it's so great.
It's almost like waiting for the big game moment to happen.
Like you're waiting for that big champion to show up.
Like that guy you had a couple of weeks ago.
Yeah, Dedrick Flynn.
That guy was insane.
It's amazing.
In just four weeks, he was made a regular randomly,
pulled him out of the bucket, saw him.
The interview, so likable.
skip golden ticket and made him the first appointed regular that we maybe get one of those
every two years.
Cut to four weeks later, this past Monday, he literally did a rap about how rich he is already.
Like he did a whole rap performance about how he's made it.
About how he's made it.
Do you get a piece of it or does your agent just snipe these people?
No.
Well, I mean, actually, that's an interesting question because now they, the entire industry is
watching Kill Tony to see
what's actually next. I am
the first, that bucket is the first
line of defense. Howie Mandel
watches every episode
and they get booked on America's Got
Talent based on
if they're unbelievable on Kill Tony.
You should offer them a show on your
channel. That would be the ultimate move.
Remember like Johnny Carson used to be
the thing where a stand-up would go on Johnny Carson
and if Johnny invited them
to sit down then they had a career
and you've kind of become the news.
But he's kept it fair.
What's crazy is that guy,
Diedrich.
Yeah, Dedrick.
Dedrick.
He's so black, you can't even say his name.
He's not.
Is it Diedrich?
Don't use that generic word that you use.
Dedric.
Don't do it.
He put his name in the bucket for two years to get called.
So he moved to Austin.
39 weeks in a row,
and he was just about to stop trying.
And then he got pulled.
And so unlike all these other guys
where there's control systems in Hollywood,
with agents and producers, and they're like,
here's the guy that's going to be the winner.
These guys all have a democratic shot.
They have an open shot at getting in that bucket
and getting pulled, which is what I love about it.
You never know what you're going to get.
And it's like everyone has a shot,
so it's not like this control thing.
You know what you should do is if they agree to do it,
you should say, just as a thank you,
we want the option for you to come do one
Kill Tony special a year for the next two years.
Like, not something crazy, but just...
You should take business advice from J.K.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I built the number one podcast of the world.
It's not just you.
He gives me advice.
He gives the president advice.
I gave the president great advice.
He said even Jason has good advice.
All right.
Even J-Cow.
Even J-Cow.
Biggest business loser.
Who's your biggest business loser, David Sachs?
Who's the biggest loser?
I said universities.
The margin of Americans
who now believe that college is worth the cost
has gone from plus 13 a decade ago
to minus 30.
minus 30.
So no one believes that college is worth the cost anymore.
Amazing.
Great, great poll.
What do you think, Friedberg?
Warner Brothers, Discovery.
I think the fact that the M&A deal is being done
at three times the value
that this thing's been trading at
for the last couple years
really shows how they undermanage the business.
The content itself is worth so much more.
They were never able to get value out of it,
which speaks to what a terrible kind of management
they've had there.
Which company did you say?
Warner Brothers.
Warner Brothers.
That just got bought it.
Yeah.
You own the stock.
didn't you and your thing?
I cleared it.
I was like, these guys are going sideways.
So you missed the outcome?
I did miss the outcome, yeah.
It was a rare miss for me.
I went with Apple.
Wait, hold on a second.
They didn't listen to your advice?
I mean, the problem was I had all these other things that had won,
and I had a bunch of gains, and I needed to sell my losers.
He put all his stock trades on the internet, Tony.
But then I called it J-trading, and it went up 5X and three years.
But he bought a whole bunch of Warner Brothers.
He's like, this is the next big thing.
I thought Disney and Warner Brothers would figure it out.
Neither of them have.
My biggest business loser was Apple.
This company has unlimited distribution and unlimited capital,
and the most impressive thing they've done in the last 10 years is a thin iPhone.
What a missed opportunity.
And, yeah, I mean, maybe the best thing they've done recently is pluribus.
I don't know if you guys are watching that, but...
Oh, people like it, yeah.
It's a pretty great show.
Literally, if I'm thinking their streaming show is the best thing,
they've got a problem.
Who's the biggest loser in comedy?
The biggest loser in comedy right now.
And, you know, I love the...
Here's the thing, is that I...
Or entertainment.
Right.
Well, you know, the biggest loser really are these giant movie studios
which still are virtue signaling
and afraid to take any chances whatsoever.
The last movie with any edge...
at all in a theater, I think was The Hangover, which I think was 2006, 2005.
And it made a billion dollars that franchise.
Yeah, exactly.
Are they coming to you asking you to do one?
I would think that would be a very natural play, but there's no studio who would do it.
So maybe like A24 or one of the smaller ones?
We are working on something.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And it's going to be...
You heard it here first.
Definitely the answer to that.
And it's all happening, and it's going to be...
Well, they'll let you do it.
you want. Yes. We went and got independent
financing for it, my amazing team over at UTA.
Wonderful. What, what,
anything that would be analogous or inspirational for you, are there
films that informed this one? Are you a Tropic Thunder fan? Are you
like easy money, Rodney Dangerfield from back in the day? What comedians
in films did you love?
I mean, without a doubt, and it's an odd pick
because it's not the one everybody thinks that I'm going to say,
but Kingpin with Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray.
I think is the best Farley Brothers film.
I think it's the funniest thing Bill Murray's ever done.
I think it's the funniest thing Woody Harrelson's ever done.
And if you haven't watched it in the past few years,
go back, watch it one more time.
It's unbelievable.
It seems like it's a movie about bowling, but it's not at all.
It's just hysterical.
I had a bunch of seven and eight-year-olds over for my daughter's birthday party, and we did a film.
So I said, oh, you guys should watch Bill Murray, and what about Bob?
And this was like a loved film, PG.
I thought, this would be fine.
They're eight years old.
And in the film, they use all these, you know, dick breath, idiot.
You know, they just do this thing.
And then I went to school the next day and three parents quarantined me here in the Bay Area.
Can we talk to you about your film selection?
my daughter came home and she said,
Dick Breath.
And I was like, have you seen what about Bob?
And the parent was like, no. I was like, you should watch it.
It's incredible.
Our daughters are never coming over your house again.
Meanwhile, that same San Fran parents
probably like, do you know there wasn't a single trans character in that movie?
And she said dick breath,
but I think they should actually have dick breath
because they should have dick breath
because there's nothing that's off limits.
Jason, we got two minutes.
to get through six.
Six.
Biggest political winner.
Lightning round.
Go.
Okay.
Biggest political winner
is the Democratic Socialists
of America.
Okay.
Sadly.
Biggest political winner?
Well, this may be a talking point,
but I'm going to say crypto.
A year ago,
there was a war on crypto.
Okay.
They were worried about going to jail.
Now we've passed legislation.
We're getting a fair shake
from the government.
It's total change.
Yeah, incredible.
You know, I had your pick,
Zoron,
Mamdani, socialism.
I also had the America First movement that's burgeoning.
But I gave it some thought, and I thought, my Lord,
there's one individual who part-time went to the government
and took crypto and made it legal and created a framework for it.
They made sure that America would be absolutely competitive in the AI race,
the most important race of our lifetime and, in fact, in humanity.
So hands down, my biggest political winner of 2025 is Mr. David Sachs.
Okay.
Political winner for you?
You don't give a shit.
What do you think?
A political winner for me, you know,
I mean, I really, again,
I'm just a big fan of this president.
People can say that I kiss an ass
and that comedians shouldn't.
There's this thing that I've been hearing
where people are like, you know,
comedians should be punching up, not punching down.
You're supposed to make fun of the big thing.
Well, if nobody, if every,
everybody is making fun of that one thing,
then I think it's kind of funny to go the other way
and to push it up.
So I literally have, in my stand-up set,
pro-Trump jokes,
which nobody's fucking doing.
Which one lands the most?
I make fun of his autograph.
I say he has the most obnoxiously cool autograph in the world.
It looks like Lizzo's heart rate.
And he actually doesn't.
My biggest political loser sacks.
Who's the biggest...
By the way, he does have the best sense of humor.
must be of any president we've ever had.
He is just hysterical.
Oh, I totally...
Anyone who spent time with him
is just blown away and just how funny he is.
All the best comedians
talk about how he might be
the funniest human being on planet Earth.
This is a conversation I've had.
I'm not going to name their names,
but you can put it together in your head.
I'm talking about the actual best
comedians in the world.
All of them.
Might believe.
All of them.
Yes.
Michael Richards.
Yeah.
No, I'm kidding.
You know who the best are, and yes, they all agree.
I mean, there's funny is funny.
It's undeniable.
Literally, God damn it, I'm blanking out,
but this week he did something so fucking,
oh, the Somali thing.
Yeah.
It's a hell hole.
They come over here and they bitch and complain.
Like, it's just common sense, and that's the funniest stuff.
I still love when Zoran visited him.
He says, it's okay,
I can say it.
I'm a fucking trash.
It's easier if you just tell them, okay.
Okay, let's go.
Come on.
Let's go.
Biggest political loser, Sacks.
My biggest political loser is Europe.
It's a civilization that's in decline.
They're losing economically, geopolitically, socially, culturally, and they can't seem to
reverse that trend.
It's very sad.
Political loser, Freeberg, the founding fathers.
Wow.
Wow.
Because I feel like free speech,
property seizure rights.
We read this excerpt from these two Thomas Jefferson letters,
and you can read a lot of these.
Just ask Gemini to tell you about some of the things
that the founding fathers wrote.
And if you spend time with them and translate them into modern English,
because they do write in a very poetic, frilly way,
there is so much of the principles and the founding fathers
that are lost in how we are kind of devolving
into this organizational system where the government
is everything in our lives, everything in our country.
the individual liberties are being taken from us.
And I don't mean taken from us in a sense that they're being seized.
We're voting for a government that dictates our lives,
that controls what we eat, how we eat, how we live, how we get paid, our checks.
I think the majority of Americans today live on checks from the government,
through the government, and I think that the founding fathers
would have been really saddened at the state.
I went with, well said, well said.
I went with Stephen Miller.
I felt his performative cruelty
was a distraction for the 47th administration.
What? What?
And that's a shame
because I loved his band.
Yeah. This is the biggest
political loser? Yeah.
Mine's Gavin Newsome.
Yes, yes.
I mean, the hair is great.
Yeah. Great hair.
That's enough for you liberals to be impressed by.
Oh, he's got hair. Fucking amazing.
Let's go with Breakthrough of the Year.
What's your breakthrough of the year?
What's your breakthrough of the year?
Okay, we haven't talked about it on the show.
This definitely deserves a science corner.
But asteroid Benu, NASA sent a probe.
They pulled a bunch of samples up in 2020.
They landed back on Earth, 2023.
Two days ago, they showed that on asteroid Benu,
there is nucleic acids.
There are amino acids.
There are sugars.
All of the building blocks of life were found on this asteroid floating through space.
Wow.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah.
Did the asteroid make it to Uranus?
Freeberg, this is great, but you're putting the audience.
I honestly think, just for a brief moment before we make the jokes,
this is going to end up being one of the most, like, amazing discoveries of our lifetime,
because it really does show that life is not necessarily unique to planet Earth.
This was an asteroid that's been floating around for four and a half billion years,
and it's got all the components of life on it.
It's pretty incredible discovery.
It's amazing.
And it was made out of sugar?
It's got sugar on it.
It's got glucose on it.
Freeberg, how many times have you masturbated to this asteroid so far?
All right.
Thank you.
My breakthrough of the year is...
Three or four?
Humanoid robots, I think.
We're just underestimating the progress these will have.
Everybody's going to get their own C3PO slash Friedberg,
so we won't be the only ones with a robot in our lives.
Sacks, what was your biggest breakthrough?
I just said being able to use Starlink on commercial flights.
I mean, you can actually use the Internet now.
Hold on a second.
I'm calling bullshit.
You haven't been on a commercial flight.
Since Clinton was in office.
That's true.
I was doing it for you guys.
Tell us honestly, when were you last?
Last time you flew commercial.
It was for you, J-Cal is for you.
Thank you.
Is it more than...
I'm a man of the people.
I was thinking about you.
Is it more than 10 years?
More than 10 years since you've been on a commercial flight.
I set the over-under-at 15 years for commercial flights.
I haven't been on a commercial flight since 2012.
2012?
I don't know.
It's shameful.
I mean, what are you still like it?
Jay-Cal, what's the Wi-Fi password on the Lolita Express?
apparently it's one, two, three.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, is that too?
Is that astray?
Really?
Sorry.
What are you doing?
Come back.
Okay, I just, we'll cut that.
It's a joke people.
By the way, why is it that all the liberal guests that you bring on the pod
are like regular visitors to Little St. James?
You're talking about what?
All of your liberal buddies.
You bring on the pot.
He did get some good dating advice, apparently.
Oh, come on.
CEO of the year not named Elon Musk.
We all consensus have to pick Elon.
Jensen Hwang.
33 years in the making, built a flywheel, had the vision,
stuck through it, ups and downs.
For whatever people said, every generation of the last 33 years,
he kept building.
and this flywheel finally took off.
And here's a crazy statistic.
InVIDIA, 4.5 trillion market cap, that's up from 300 billion
36 months ago.
So this is a company that in 36 months
created $4.2 trillion of market value.
That's $100 billion every month for three years straight.
It's incredible.
I think it's insane with this second.
Sacks, who is your CEO of the year, not named Elon Musk?
Well, that was a great one, but I'm going to go with Alex Karp
because if you heard him
If you heard him speak at all in Summit,
I think he brought down the house.
He out Tucker Tucker.
I mean, so in addition to Palantir being a monster
of the last year.
I went with Navidia,
Trump's favorite company,
and Jensen Wang as well.
Let me just say, again,
even though this isn't my territory,
I want to give a shout-out
to a couple badass motherfuckers.
Nick Kahn and Paul Leveck
over at the WWE
have taken on this massive historical company
while, you know, and put it on,
have made so many huge deals
with so many different networks to bring in so many big fans.
Are you at WWE or a UFC guy?
I'm both.
You're both.
If you had to only go to one.
In fact, since this is the only place
that it would be interesting to ever mention,
it was the only F, TKO is the only ever stock
that I ever told my guy, my golf buddy,
who actually, after years of insisting,
I should give them money to put in stocks,
which I never believed in
because I'm an Italian poor kid from Youngstown, Ohio.
I believe before that just have cash in a shoebox
is like the way to have money.
But then I did, and the only one I ever recommended for him,
I heard about this Navidia three years ago from my guy, whatever,
but the only one I ever told him about was TKO
because I, Dana White knows how to put on a hell of a show.
And I know that obviously the WWE is always amazing and always growing.
So it's the only one I ever told him to get.
We've seen, you know, whatever.
And in my little world.
Did you buy the Nvidia?
Yeah.
You did?
Wild, wild success.
Yeah, so unlike Jake Al, you held this talk?
Yeah.
Yeah, great.
I had some video.
And, by the way, we had Paul Levick,
Triple H speak at the All of the Summit.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
He's a big wrestling fan.
Oh, I love that.
I was just with him.
I hung out with them just last night.
Smackdown was in Austin.
All right.
Now, each host gets to pick.
They're a disgratziad of the year.
The most disgraceful moment, person, company, or trend.
Disgracziad of the year.
Disgratziad.
He was the best guy around.
What about the people he murdered?
What murder?
You can act like a man.
What's the matter with you?
He's just killed a little f***ing manners.
You insulted him a little bit?
I'm smart and I want the sphinx.
What's the world we do?
Your hair was in the toilet water.
Disgusting.
I had to suffocate you, your little bit.
It's a fucking disgrace.
Disgratziad.
All right, disgratziad.com.
Tony, whenever you're ready, you can give us yours,
but Freiburg, who's your disgracad?
The crackdown on speech in Europe.
3,000-plus arrests in the UK for malicious communication,
mostly fines, but also incarcerations,
including recently calling a convicted rapist, a pig,
landed someone in jail.
84,000 politically motivated communications crimes in Germany,
6,000 defined hate crimes based on speech in France.
Across Europe, this has become a major issue.
Again, I'll reflect on Gavin Newsom,
vetoing SB 771 in this state, but we were very close,
and I think it's very important that we pay attention to it.
Sachs.
That's a really good one.
It's a good one.
Well, I would agree with that one,
but the one I would choose is that at Stanford,
they said that if you're disabled,
you get more time on tests,
and you can kind of be unproctored and kind of...
Accommodations.
Right.
So now, 50% of students at Stanford say they're disabled.
And you had a case to make yourself,
and you never pulled the Asperger's card.
I never pulled that card.
But anyway, but no, this is all part of a piece with grades.
Basically, there's no grades anymore.
And everyone sort of claims to be disabled
in order to get special advantages.
Disgratziat.
Disgratziad.
My disgraciad was very good.
Was socialism in New York, my hometown, absolutely disgraceful,
and the actual true New Yorkers didn't vote for it,
but the people who've been there for under 10 years
did overwhelmingly disgracead for me.
Tony, who's your disgracad for 2025?
I'd have to say the people that just cheered
that people won't be leaving California next year
in this crowd is the disgraciod.
Yeah?
You guys realize there's other places, right?
I was guilty of it, too.
I lived in L.A. happily for almost 20 years.
I loved it.
I really never thought I would move to another place.
And as a touring comedian, you know, you go visit places.
And you would go back to L.A.
That was just the headquarters.
It took so much chaos for me to even try to go to another place
and fall in love with it.
but when you do try other places,
you find that it's better than this,
and it's definitely better than this,
because L.A. is better than this,
and this is just the worst.
And the world, and by the way,
the world is laughing at you,
and some of you are booing,
but you're clearly not the ones making the money off the app
that shows you where the shit on the sidewalks is
in this hot fucking dump that you call home.
So anyway, you're the discrecia.
I love it. Bringing the heat.
See, I'm a real wrestling fan.
I'll do a heel turn live in real time.
Way to win the audience, Tony.
You had the, they loved you for 90 minutes.
You were doing so well.
You couldn't love yourself.
Burning it down.
Fuck you, assholes.
That was not only a heel turn, it was a low blow,
it was a chair shot over the head of the entire audience.
And what's perfect is that half of them now won't bother me
at the after party.
It's a win-win right there.
Okay. All right, listen, this has been absolutely amazing.
Let's give it up for the one, the only, Tony Hinchcliffe.
You're incredible.
Unbelievable.
Let me just thank Tony. Tony, thank you for what you do.
People don't have to agree with your speech.
I feel it's really important that comedians act as the flag bearers to keep freedom of speech alive.
For all the jokes we can make about the things you say and the way you offend people,
I think that pushing the limits is so important.
And for that, I appreciate what you do, and love your work.
Yeah.
And more, leave us to say, honestly, I think this is like the most fun Christmas party we've had.
Ever.
Ever.
And probably the most fun event we've ever had is because of Tony here.
Yeah.
No question about it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And I was kidding, audience.
You're not really that much of a disgratio.
It was a joke.
It's a little bit of walking it back.
They were with you until that.
These nerds are used to they're having flashbacks
to getting bullied back in the day.
Absolutely.
You just stuff them all in the locker, metaphorically.
We'll see you next year.
And we really appreciate all of you coming out tonight.
Yeah, thank you guys so much.
Come do it out the fans.
Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from this,
and honestly, this is the most fun we've ever had doing an event.
Happy holidays.
Thank you to all of you.
Thank you.
