How was your weekend, Jordy?
Good.
I saw a lot of egg hunting.
Oh, you did?
Yeah, I did.
I finally saw it.
Did you see it, Tyler?
I did not see it.
You haven't seen it?
Ben, you saw it, right?
What was your review?
It was great.
I was telling you, I think it was fresh, it was fun.
People put it on the house.
He didn't like it.
He didn't like it.
He said it was interstellar for Chuds, right?
Isn't that what he said?
You liked it, right?
I thought it was great.
It was very enjoyable watch.
I don't know.
Should I see it?
Yes, I think you should see it.
In theater.
In theater, for sure.
It's definitely a good movie.
That's a high bar.
It's not too long.
It's like two and a half hours.
But it's an Andy Weir.
Have you seen The Martian?
It's brutal.
It's basically just like endless stream of problems and then like quick solutions.
So there's some sort of problem they need to figure it out.
Problem they need to figure it out.
All of its, I don't know, like loosely like hard sci-fi, like somewhat believable.
It does have aliens in it and stuff, but it's a fun time.
Anyway.
Well, speaking of real space, what's going on with Artemis II?
Yes.
is live streaming right now to almost a million people on YouTube on the NASA YouTube channel.
I believe it's also on Netflix.
The stream title is just, we are about to fly around the moon with authority from NASA.
We can actually pull this up and see.
I would love to hear what is going on right now because I think it's happening as we speak.
One minute ago NASA posted that the crew are now the farthest any human has ever traveled.
250,000 miles from the Earth.
Matthew Gallagher, he's the founder of Medvi.
And we were supposed to have him on the show today.
He unfortunately cannot make it.
We do have John Slotkin coming on, the chief medical officer from Gelsinger to or Geisinger to talk about claims around oral GLP1 drugs.
We read the New York Times story on Thursday and then over the weekend there was a whole bunch more analysis about the company.
And there were later-
It's so interesting because you would think that someone
someone else would write the one person one billion dollar company totally and then the
New York Times would take it down yep but in this case it happened in reverse so
last week the New York Times broke down the story of Medvi a telehealth provider of
g.lp.1 weight loss drugs and the framing was basically that this was the first
time in history a single person had built quote a billion dollar company and
that's what went viral digging in there were some small caveats and some big
caveats. The small caveats were that, you know, the founder, Matthew Gallagher, had hired
his younger brother, so technically it was a two-person startup. Most people were like, yeah,
okay, we'll count that, it doesn't matter. It's a family member, right? And then also the other
one. It's only twice as many people is the original challenge. But they had almost twice the
revenue, 1.8 billion. So, but the question was the valuation. So the headline stat in the article
was that they are on track to do 1.8 billion in sales this year.
year and that the on track is doing a lot of work of course because that's clearly an
ARR number that's that's extrapolated out and the g lp-o-1 market's moving very quickly it's not
like row and hymns and all the other providers are going to be you know just sitting down and
letting this company run away with whatever secret sauce they've discovered around customer
acquisition although they might not go into this which we'll go into and it was insane
scale but companies don't unilaterally trade at one-x revenue like that's that that's sort of a
given in this article, it's sort of presuppose that if you're doing 1.8 billion in revenue,
you would trade above a billion dollars. And so this counts as a billion dollar company.
I always thought that the billion dollar company would be on market cap.
Yeah, valuation. Not on revenue. Because you could do, you know, if you're going to say,
you know, okay, any, any, just try and say the biggest number, you would want to set up some sort of like payment network
where basically you could report GMV really, really high. And you actually have a very, very small business because you're taking like 1%.
as your true net revenue.
So there was always a question about the margins,
and then also revenue durability matters.
Like the ongoing question around building these,
one-person, high-growth companies, is their durability?
Because if you can do it, and then I can do it,
and then Tyler can do it,
and then anyone with access to a coding model can build it,
very quickly, we're going to erode each other's markets
and trade market cap very quickly.
And I think any VC that would look at this,
they might get to a point where they're like,
yeah, this is a unicorn company,
look at the growth, I think there's something here.
But at the same time, you could see someone
like a private equity valuing this and saying,
well, I need to see-
A lot of risk.
I need to see durability.
There's some lawsuits.
Exactly.
And we'll get into that.
So Medby uses two companies,
care validate and open loop health to handle the doctors,
pharmacies, shipping, and compliance,
and we'll get into the compliance thing.
But that's a lot of outsourcing.
And of course, that outsourcing takes a toll on margin
because you have to pay the doctors,
you have to pay the pharmacies,
you have to pay the shipping,
you have to pay the compliance.
And they're paying care, validate,
and open loop health to flow that value through
to those individual stakeholders.
So it's still, it's still.
Yeah, I started asking,
what does this company actually do itself?
Just marketing, and maybe they're too aggressive about it.
We'll get it to do it.
So these GLP1 drugs are so also aren't cheap.
And when you sell them,
even when you sell them legally, even as a telehealth wrapper,
a lot of the value is going to accrue to the pharmaceutical companies that own the intellectual property.
At least that's how it should flow when things are functioning properly.
So you can effectively build a telehealth company on top of a pharmaceutical company like NOVA,
that you, where you are taking a thin margin on top, you can get to big numbers,
but the pharmaceutical companies are going to want to be paid because they did all of the expensive FDA
trials, all the expensive R&D, and they need to recoup that.
So then the other question is you add in the CAQ from digital ads.
They were apparently spending a lot on Facebook to acquire customers.
And you quickly get, you quickly wind up an estimate of pretty thin margins.
I think the estimate, Sheal shared, Sheal Monot shared was like 15% or something like that.
It's totally possible to get to a valuation that's lower than a billion dollars,
depending on how everything flows through the same time.
though, if they're outsourcing all of the kind of key areas of the business to these other players,
open loop, et cetera, it's possible that of that, those very thin margins, right, the 15-ish percent,
the margins on that are very, very extreme, right?
Sure.
Yeah.
So you could still get to a number that was in the hundreds of millions of dollars of, of,
yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, the 15% margin looks like 150 million, maybe 200 million in like basically profit.
that is crazy. But we'll see what the FDA has to say long term about that, whether there will be
lawsuits or settlements. There was already a warning letter. And this turned into a big drama about
the company. The drama... And was there any mention of this in the original story? I don't think so.
And so there were a lot of people that were... And I believe I pulled up the New York Times piece
and there was no like correction or anything yet. Maybe there will be more follow on. I feel like
the founder does need to, you know, respond and have their opportunity.
to kind of correct the record because these things can kind of run away in either direction.
Even with all the drama, there were a ton of, you know, super legitimate questions about how
valuable the company really is and how long they'll be able to continue their current business
model without pretty serious changes.
And that's around the marketing stuff.
So, Edvi received an FDA warning letter just two months ago for misbranding violations.
So warning letter, if you're not familiar with the FDA's language, it can be pretty wide-ranging.
Like sometimes it requires just a small change to market.
materials to remain compliant and sometimes it's basically like a shutdown
the company moment this happened a lot with the nicotine category with illegal
vapor products right and sometimes like the warning letter would be you are
warned in that if you continue to sell these like we will put you out of
business and some of them are okay we're warning you about this particular
claim on your website you need to change this language and it's pretty
pretty minimal I went through this ten years ago we started Lucy 2016
And while I was there, we were extremely nervous about warning letters because if we got a warning letter, we thought it would mess up the FDA applications that we had in progress.
It would mess up distributors, like anyone who you're partnering with would say, well, I don't want to work with somebody that has a warning letter.
Have you dealt with this?
We were able to avoid all this, but one kind of concrete example is that we, like Lucy cannot make quick claims about the nicotine gum product.
So even though most people think, oh, this is like Nicorette.
it's actually regulated in a different category.
It's regulated as tobacco product, not as a pharmaceutical product.
And so you can't run a digital ad that says, like, hey, you're a smoker, quit smoking
with Lucy.
That's a violation because it's not regulated as a pharmaceutical, as a smoking cessation
aid is the term.
And so in the nicotine category, you would have companies create a product.
Usually there would be no founder associated with said products because people didn't
want to put their face on it.
And they would do a lot of things.
that would make sales grow incredibly quickly.
Like, you know, making marketing claims,
just where and how they decided to sell,
et cetera, et cetera, that ad channels that they use.
And so they would go from zero to hundreds of millions
or billions of revenue very, very quickly.
But the enterprise value of the company
would be near zero, right?
Because nobody would want to buy a company
that had all that kind of baggage.
And so if you were going to value it,
it would be like,
what is the very, very, very near-term sort of like revenue opportunity?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, the famous comparison is Jewel versus Puff Bar.
So Jewel went, you know, raised a bunch of money, got very big, put in FDA applications,
got those applications denied marketing denial orders, then got them stayed in the courts.
They set up a, I think their whole headquarters was in D.C.
They were working very closely with the FDA, truly engaging to sort of clean up all of the
problems around marketing and sales and formulation just really try and get to a clean
bill of health with regard to the government relations they were successful and they got
approved as not as a smoking cessation aid so they still can't make the claim that
Jewel will help you quit smoking but they did get approved as a tobacco product you know
which I think the FDA says it has to be suitable for the protection of public health
which is a very vague way of saying like it's a net benefit net good that that it's on
the market which is you know people can debate
that back in the Jewel days they also could not say quit smoking with Jewel they wanted to
say they wanted like a lot of people that were you know were smoking cigarettes did switch to
jewel and they were pushing for that but they couldn't actually make quick claim so they use the
word switch they said switch to Jewel instead of quit with Jewel and that seemed fine for a long time
I think they they eventually trademarked it and then I think they had to pull away from it at a
at various points of time. But there's clearly like this gray area in your marketing. Can you say
you want smokers to upgrade to nicotine gum? You know, all of these things need to be sort of litigated
with the FDA. And what has Medvi been up to? We wound up playing it very safe. And that probably
kept us from mooning in revenue to $1.8 billion overnight. But I still think it was the right
decision for Lucy. Now Medvi appears to have taken a much more aggressive approach. They are
apparently running 800 fake doctor accounts on Facebook to sell compounded GLP1.
Sheel Monot verified that the accounts are not actually doctors.
Some even have cartoonishly fake names.
Dr. Tucker Carl Zinn, MD.
If you, like, this is one of those things where I feel bad for someone who clicked on an ad that was
deceptive.
From Dr. Tucker Carlson, MD.
But if you're getting your GOP-1s from Dr. Carl Tucker's in,
you probably are in on the joke to some extent.
I don't know.
It's clearly not above board, and they have to clean this up and deal with this.
They were also sued in a class action lawsuit last month for violating California's anti-spam law.
That stuff can be crazy expensive because a lot of the fines are on like a per instance basis.
So it'll be like, okay, yeah, $10 fine for every text message you sent.
And it could be like you sent like, you know, 50 million text messages or something.
So you could have some massive, massive liability.
Of course, that will be litigated in the court of law.
And there might be a settlement and they can figure out what the right damage is.
If they are even guilty, they're still early in the process.
And so the end result is more of a story of pushing over aggressive marketing tactics.
Yeah, I mean, so pull up the actual picture of Shields Post because I think that you can just see how confused.
using this would be to somebody maybe a little bit older.
You want to zoom in?
Yeah, zoom in.
You can just see.
You see somebody that looks like a doctor.
Oh, yeah.
And if you're 70 years old on Facebook,
you're not necessarily putting it together.
It's Dr. Tucker, Carlson, MD.
So my co-founder, Lucy, is, he has a PhD from Caltech,
but it's in biophysics.
And so he's not a medical doctor.
But he is a doctor of science from Caltech.
He has a really good background, but he's not a medical doctor.
And I would always joke with him, like, we got to put you in a stethoscope.
We got to take some photos of you in a stethoscope.
Like, the aura is so high.
And he was like, no, that's such bad practice.
Like, we can't do that.
Like, a doctor is associated with medical doctor, even if you have a doctorate in something.
It's like the famous, like, I'm dying.
Does anyone have a doctorate?
Yeah, I have a doctor in a jurist doctor or whatever.
The other interesting thing, Medvi uses the dot-or-org.
What?
Domain?
Isn't that for nonprofits, typically?
I would think so.
I mean, I don't know that it's technically illegal to use it as a for-profit,
but certainly when you add that to all the other things.
Yeah, because you land on that site and then you think,
it looks like, oh, a doctor advertised this to me,
and now I'm on a nonprofit medical website.
Yeah, in general, I think the story is pushing over aggressive marketing tactics to the limit
more than AI allowing low headcount scaling.
And this has happened for a long time.
Back in the old days, I want to say like 2014 Facebook era, but the early days of online
marketing, there were countless stories of questionable supplement sales or telehealth
operations scaling on the back of insane ads.
The classic formula for like mega scale was if you could get an ad approved, if you could get
it like sort of like white listed or through the approval process, it wouldn't automatically
get reviewed that often.
So once you were approved, you could spend a thousand.
or you could spend $50 million.
And there wasn't, early on, there wasn't a natural trigger to, like, re-fact check.
It was like, if you could get approved for a small ad, you could scale it up.
And so people would do all these crazy things to try and get the ads approved.
There were all these tricky things where they would route to one website.
And then after the ad was approved, they changed the website.
And then, you know, all the ad platforms had to eventually figure out, like, okay, we need to be scraping a layer deeper, like consistently.
or like every day.
But the canonical example of the health supplement
or telehealth operation that would always go viral
and always just print was if you could get an ad approved
that had Harvard scientists, brain pill,
and Johnny Depp all in one call to action.
I'm not kidding about this.
This is real.
So it was like always this picture of Johnny Depp
coming out of the ocean.
That was the one that was like really scroll-stopping.
Pirates of the car.
No, no.
It was like a paparazzi photo,
which they didn't have the rights to use.
would not partner with Johnny Depp. They should not be running that ad at all. And then something about
brain boosting or like making like limitless pill, make you a genius, that type of marketing would
like, it's very general, like, who doesn't want to be smarter? So everyone would click on that.
And then like Harvard scientists would like lend its like credibility. Because oh, if it's from Harvard,
like it's good. And so if you could get those three terms approved, there were a whole bunch of
like sketchy operations that would get ads approved and then just pump like a hundred million
dollars of sales behind them. And it seems like maybe there's a little bit of that going
here where a lot of these ads should not have been approved. Maybe there needs to be a validation.
I know that a lot of companies that partner with doctors, even just to sell like skin care, supplements,
sunscreens, really anything, the rate to advertise with an influencer who's a, who actually
has some sort of medical credential is like way higher. Yeah, because it's way more effective.
And that, yeah, it's way more effective. But if you can just like fake that, then you're basically
arbitraging that, but you shouldn't be. We have, we have two employees.
but 800 fake doctors on Facebook.
Not great.
Yeah, maybe I want to be the one person,
one billion dollar company,
but I want to win more.
So if adding incremental people
helps me build a better company.
Yeah, there's Ryan Pizance at this point.
Yeah, why would I not add at least a handful of people?
Yeah, yeah, totally.
So, yeah, I mean, I think software is an interesting category,
especially if it was open source software somehow,
where there was some sort of flywheel where you could verify what was actually built,
and then you could verify what the sales were
because it was done on some sort of open platform
or some sort of thing where the actual reporting
and the analytics.
I mean, apparently the New York Times did verify the run rate
that they used, so their money was flowing through the business.
But having a much cleaner representation
of what the financial picture is, I think, would help.
I was personally excited about the prospect of a video game
and just more video game developers,
seeing breakout success. So a couple years ago, in the olden days when I had free time,
I got woefully addicted to a poker-themed rogue-like deck-building game called Balatro,
which I don't think anyone here is played. But this game is amazing. So much fun. So you're basically
playing poker, but there's no financial stakes, there's no money, there's no micro-transactions
at all. Interestingly, the game actually got banned, I think in Japan or some other country,
for being like poker and being gambling.
Ban for being anti-gambling.
No, no.
No, no.
Ban for being like gambling aesthetics.
Because you are playing with cards.
There's no real money.
You pay like $10, $15 for the game
and then you can just play unlimited.
But it's done extremely well.
So it sold over 5 million units.
I saw some reporting there might be 7 million
and maybe even more now
because they've gone multi-platform.
And I think at $15, $20 a download
that might be close to $100 million in revenue,
And it was made by a solo developer who goes by local thunk.
Over a two and a half year period,
he originally wanted the game to be a side project
that he could put on his resume,
but it wound up being a massive success.
And so depending on your valuation methodology,
you could probably underwrite Bellatro
close to a billion dollars if it's generated $100 million
of basically free cash flow.
You know, there was obviously two and a half years of R&D,
but that was just this developer's time,
the future revenue streams, the offshoots, the merch,
You get to a number that's close, and you have to imagine that his two-and-a-half-year development
life cycle would have been pulled forward by the help of AI.
So he basically developed the game entirely in the pre-AI period.
Does it still have momentum?
I think it's probably trailed off a little bit because people sort of, you get to the end of the game
after, I don't know, 10, 20, 50 hours or something.
And then there are some people on YouTube that will do, like,
like tons and tons of like try and break the game because you can get really, really crazy
with like combinations of different things. But at a certain point, like you do kind of finish the
game and then you're like, okay, I'm moving on. Yeah, I mean, some of the stuff that I've seen
internally at TPN, it's like going to blow.
Already vague posting. Are you the vague post king? Have you stared into the abyss yet?
Because everyone talks about at the AI labs, they all have abysses. And I feel like,
I feel like Abyss 101 is like, do not stare into it.
Yeah. Like maybe glancing.
Like, first and onboarding.
Yeah.
I think a glance is okay.
Or maybe like saddling up to the abyss and just kind of peeking your head in is fine.
But I would not stare into it.
I think that's something you know.
Let's go over to the App Store.
Yeah.
The App Store saw an 85% increase in new apps this past quarter.
That's pour one out for the App Store review team.
Yeah.
Most recent quarters, new app count has grown less than 10%.
So it was just ticking up.
quarter over quarter and then jumped massively. No surprises here. Everybody that I know outside
of tech has an app now. They're unconstrained. They have an app, but at the same time, I have yet
to find an app that's on my home screen that was solo developer vibe coded, something like that.
So I'm waiting for the Flappy Bird moment or the Bellatro moment, this like solo thing.
even if it's like a productivity tool, there's clearly more apps, but actually going viral.
Like what is the Harry Potter Balenciaga moment? What is the, you know, the viral moment that
breaks through and actually makes it to the top of the app charts? Because right now it just feels
like the long tail of the app store is getting potentially fatter because there's more single-use
apps. There's more small apps. But will we see one of those break out and become, you know,
fantastically successful. That's sort of like the next, you know, critical moment that I'm,
I'm, you know, eagerly awaiting, but we'll see. What's going on in China, John?
The pork industry is a victim of its own success. This story is incredible. They got swine
scrapers over there. Skyscraper's filled with swine. I'm not kidding about this. So,
this is from The Economist, and I read this yesterday and really enjoyed it. Pork holds a unique
place in the Chinese diet. It was once a symbol of the good life, the Chinese
for home is a pictogram of a pig under a roof. It is so important that the government has a strategic
frozen pork reserve and the news media are always full of the ups and downs of the pork industry.
It's like they got to cover it like it's a horse race. Like what's going on?
It's the pork race. No, it's serious. TBPN for the pork industry in China. That's the real opportunity.
There have been plenty of peaks and troughs in the past decade. The trough is active over there, literally.
In 2018 to 2019, when African swine fever ravaged pig herds, many smaller backyard farms were wiped out.
Prices went through the roof before long.
The industry came trotting back.
The big worry now is that it is doing too well.
More efficient farming methods producing ever more pork are colliding with slow consumption of the meat.
Now all the news is about overcapacity.
She who sells cuts of pork at a market in Beijing says she only got to eat the meat on special occasions of the child.
These days, she says it's so cheap, people can have it whenever they fancy.
The oversupply pushed live pig prices to a 15-year low in March.
Some farmers are losing over $40 per animal.
Part of the problem is that some pig farmers have been aggressively expanded production
in an attempt to gain a bigger share of a shrinking market.
On top of that, big companies saved their bacon in the downturn by concentrating their pigs
into mechanized modern facilities where they could be kept isolated from the swine fever.
Modern farms are marveled at industrial agriculture, though not of animal welfare.
Tens of thousands of pigs are packed into multi-story concrete buildings.
One in Hubei province has 26 floors.
It's a swine scraper.
It's 26 floors of pigs.
Do we know why consumption is declining?
Just oversupply.
So they got hit with this, they got hit with the swine flu, and they were worried about all the pigs getting sick and dying.
And so they, instead of having them cross-pollinate and like open fields, they push them into these literal skyscrapers that are 26 floors tall.
But I would assume over-production, you have oversupply prices come down.
Yeah.
But they're saying that just overall consumption is dropping too.
Well, yes.
So people are moving to chicken and seafood.
Increasingly middle class, the middle-class Chinese see pork is less healthy than chicken and seafood.
But it's really like a supply side story. That may be more pork than even China can eat. The average Chinese person
guzzled 28 kilograms of it in 2024, but that was two kilograms less than in 2023. To boost prices.
Officials have slashed subsidies ordered farms to coal droves and told the pork reserve to buy more meat to little effect.
Some big firms are looking elsewhere. That is wild.
China's biggest pig producer hopes to export its business model. Instead, last year it said it would bring the first high rise. It would build the first
high rise in Vietnam, capable of rearing 1.6 million swine a year.
Pig farms are going vertical as profits flatline.
And so they are moving the pigs inside, which is winding up with like increased yields
because the pigs aren't getting sick.
America's best new weapon in Iran is a drone inspired by Iran.
You had asked about this on one interview we did with someone.
Yeah, I forget who it was with.
But I was, you know, I was surprised to see the U.S. copying the Shahed because it feels like...
You were surprised to see them copying it or not copying it?
No, it feels like entirely the smart move.
It's battle tested.
They're cheap.
We have a good understanding of their capability because American allies have faced off against them.
So there's a lot of reason that it makes sense.
But I feel like America had to swallow its pride to some degree to come.
to copy something that the enemy made.
Yeah, they're calling it the Toyota Corolla of drones.
The powerful, low-cost attack drone the U.S. is using,
and its war with Iran doesn't come from one of America's
more than 400 venture-backed drone startups,
and it isn't the product of Silicon Valley ingenuity.
Instead, the drone having its moment in the Middle East conflict,
was designed by the U.S. military itself
using reverse-engineered Iranian technology
From the earliest days of the war, the FLM 136, or Lucas, as it is known, has been wiping out Iranian military targets,
while better funded hardware systems and drones from defense startups have had little involvement.
It is a victory for the U.S. military, which went from blueprint to battle-ready drone in less than two years,
jettisoning its tradition of slowly buying very expensive equipment.
The creation of Lucas is an early proof point of a new strategy of making good.
cheap drones quickly and a sign that the Pentagon can change the way it does business to better
prepare for modern conflict. So I want to know so much more about like, so they're not subcontracting
this at all? This is all like is the entire supply chain? The U.S. military itself, are they milling
the parts and factories that they've built? During the Biden administration, a small group in the
Defense Department seized on the idea of America building its own version of the Iranian Shahed,
a fearsome attract drone that militaries and proxy militias across the globe have sought to duplicate
Russia, which is lobbying about 4,000 modified Shaheds at Ukraine every month,
according to Ukrainian government data,
did more than any other country to demonstrate the drone's capabilities.
A small team in the U.S. military's research and engineering office
put together plans to build an attack drone.
Based on deconstructing a Shahed, the military had recovered from Ukraine.
It was the first known occasion in around half a century
that the U.S. had reverse engineered another country's military technology for its own use.
The last time, it was a Soviet-made pontoon bridge.
That's interesting.
A former senior defense official described Lucas, which stands for low-cost unmanned combat attack system as the Toyota Corolla of drones.
It may not have all the features or top-end components, but it was built to be affordable and plentiful.
The cost of Lucas ranges from 10,000 to 55,000.
