Hey, everybody, the besties are taking Thanksgiving off. But hey, we didn't forget about you. We banked a couple of great content segments while we were in Vegas. First, here's an interview with Molly Bloom. You know, she ran the legendary high stakes game in LA in New York, I was invited to the LA one, we'll get into that. And her story was turned into the feature film and book Molly's game.

We have a great conversation, tons of insider stories, who imploded in our LA game, the best celebrity poker players, getting shaken down by the mob, how she got an Aaron Sorkin meeting, and much, much more. Big thank you to our friends at Oracle for partnering with us on this amazing VIP lunch we did in Vegas at the Venetian. What a great hotel.

Also, make sure you head over to our YouTube channel, a YouTube exclusive for the first ever Bestie Poker Freezeout game. Who's going to win? Chamath, Freebird, me, or some of the world's greatest poker players, Alan Keating and Jason Kuhn. Also, Phil Hellmuth. He wound up there as well somehow. So, happy Thanksgiving. We love you. And be safe.

Listen, we have a guest. We do have a guest. She's an entrepreneur, best-selling author, one of Fortune Magazine's most powerful women. I didn't know that. Molly Bloom ran the world's most exclusive poker game. You probably know her from the movie, Molly's Game, which we'll hear a little bit about today.

91.863 - 100.997 David Sacks

But Molly's also, I think, got an amazing sense of what made her successful and the journey she's been through, I think, is a really interesting one to learn from. So please join me in welcoming Molly.

107.002 - 114.178 Chamath Palihapitiya

Nice to see you, Molly. Molly, what was the origin of the game? We know some of our friends played in it.

115.762 - 135.02 David Sacks

Hold on a second. Jason, you claimed on our show, let me just read the notes. The notes? Yeah, there are notes here. What did I say now? So apparently, where's the thing that Jason said? We were on the show and Jason said he played in the game all the time and... No, no, no, no. What did you say? I said I was invited to the game. No, you did not say that. Lisa, please pull the tape.

135.521 - 145.217 David Sacks

And when you're ready, just raise your hand and let me know exactly what Jason said. And then Molly responded on Twitter that you did not play in my f***ing game.
