Jason Calacanis 0:00
All right, everybody, welcome back to the number one podcast in the world, your favorite podcast with your favorite besties in the world, the all-in podcast. Shabazz is traveling and couldn't make it this week, so our favorite fifth bestie in the world, the one, the only, Brad Gerstner from Altimeter, here to take a victory lap for your Trump accounts. Congratulations, brother.
Brad Gerstner 0:25
Just getting started. Started here, actually. Look forward to that.
Jason Calacanis 0:29
Yeah. We'll talk about it in depth and also with us from the great state of Texas, my bestie and brother in arms, David Sachs. How are you doing, brother? How are you? You're loving it, aren't you?
Chamath Palihapitiya 0:41
Freedom. I'm loving it.
Jason Calacanis 0:43
Yeah. So much freedom.
Chamath Palihapitiya 0:45
Well, the ice storm is over and the weather looks really good right now. We're going to have 70s all weekend. It's great. Yeah. You figured out your internet? That has been resolved. Like I said, it's a lot easier to fix my internet than to fix the state of California.
Jason Calacanis 1:00
You fixed it in one week. So yeah, I would say that you're trending in the right direction. And with us, of course, David Freberg of Ohalo. How are you doing, Ohalo? Look at your little promo in your hat. You're promoing with the hat. How's the Halloween? We haven't heard about it for a while.
David Sacks 1:17
I'll give you some updates on another show. Today may not be the best day. I do appreciate you asking. I hear it's going great with the potatoes.
Chamath Palihapitiya 1:23
You got the merch.
David Sacks 1:24
I got merch. Yeah, you guys can go to boosted.ohalo.com and buy your gear today. Here's your quick science corner for the day. They found a village called the Ohalo site. It was an archeological dig on the Sea of Galilee, 26,000 years old. And in this archeological dig, they found these little clay pots filled with seed. So it predated all of our understanding of agriculture and plant breeding and seed storage. So it really reinvented our understanding of human history with agriculture. So we named the company Ohalo after that archaeological site.
Jason Calacanis 1:55
and your first crop is gonna be potatoes. That's the poly market is saying potatoes.
David Sacks 2:01
Farmers are planting our true seed, world's first, world's first true seed of potato. Instead of planting 5,000 pounds of chopped up potatoes, you plant a handful of seed. Completely changes the economics and the opportunity for potato farmers around the world. Third largest source of calories. Very excited. We're going to market this spring. Farmers are planting it in the field. So it's a great year for Ohala. Thanks for asking.
Brad Gerstner 2:24
So first... How much do you have invested in Ohalo, Jason?
Jason Calacanis 2:27
I think Sax and I have $0.0. Yeah. I think Bestie's got boxed out on this, but we'll promote it every week.
David Sacks 2:34
Sax is there, bro.
Jason Calacanis 2:35
Oh, Sax is no comment?
David Sacks 2:36
Sax got his beat with? Are you in Ohalo or not?
Chamath Palihapitiya 2:40
I think we are investors, aren't we not?
David Sacks 2:41
Yeah, his venture firm, Kraft Ventures, we're excited to have them on the cap table. Yeah.
Jason Calacanis 2:46
Oh, great. How about you, Brad?
David Sacks 2:47
Did you get a little slice?
Brad Gerstner 2:49
I'm working on it.
David Sacks 2:50
I'm working on it too.
Jason Calacanis 2:51
Let me know how it goes. If you can ever find the founder and see if we can get a little slice for Jake, I'd like to slide a million there.
David Sacks 2:57
If you write a personal check, I'll let you in right now.
Jason Calacanis 2:59
Sure. Okay. I mean, the problem with that is if I write a personal check... No, I have to go to my LPs and then get permission to do it. And then you're going to crush it. And then my LPs are going to say, why is it in the fund? So that's the problem. Okay, let's get going here. We got a lot of news to get through. Epstein Files, newest drop. DOJ published a massive number of documents on Friday, January 30th, under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Hundreds of high profile tech executives and national figures were mentioned in the files. Of course, none of those are accused of any criminal wrongdoing.
David Sacks 3:35
J. Cal, you were in the files. Yes. I have a couple of emails in the files. Inspector Friedberg has a few questions for you. Okay. Let's get started. When did you first meet Jeffrey Epstein?
Jason Calacanis 3:52
I met Jeffrey Epstein in the late 90s at the TED conference at specifically... The Billionaire's Dinner, which was hosted by my book agent, John Brockman.
