Everyone sees me as a football player, but before anything else, I'm human.
Every single day, I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions, ever since I was born.
This isn't a normal podcast.
Everything here is spontaneous, real, and genuine. Just honest conversations about what it means to be alive. I'm Javier Chicharito Hernandez, and listen to Learning to be Human on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to Sabor a Fútbol, the sweet and the spicy on and off the field. I'm Daniela Duran, and this is where we get to know the people behind the game like never before. The pressure, the fame, and everything that happens when the cameras turn off. Enjoy conversations with guests like Barbartra, Ener Valencia, Sharon Escobar, Pollo Uliseño, Fede Pereira, and many more. Listen to Sabor a Fútbol on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is a program about conversation, about opposing differing points of view, sometimes coming to consensus, sometimes failing. But there's one word on my mind today. Dialogue. Dialogue. Oh, my God. Somebody has to explain. Well, I will explain because I have been getting like nonstop content about this in my feed. But basically, there's this group that was formed by Peter Thiel called Dialogue. It's basically like an event series and they get rich people to pay thousands of dollars to go to these events and sort of network with each other. And on the Dialogue website... a sort of ethical hacker on Blue Sky discovered this list of all the members, I guess, attending their 2026 event. And it included a lot of notable names, some really famous people on there, big media figures like Ezra Klein, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, all of these people that I think are increasingly playing a role in shaping our political and tech discourse.
So immediately, this was... Spread across blue sky. That made its way to Twitter. Then Wired wrote it up. And I found it in the New York Post. Has anyone ever been to one of these dialogues? No. Well, they charge you a lot of money. Yeah. Can I explain it in case any of your listeners have children? Because I have kids who are now at the age where they go to sports camps. And you can go to the baseball camp that's normal. Or you can go to the baseball camp that's named after the pro baseball player. Or... My kid plays hockey. There's like a Wayne Gretzky hockey camp, right? And you can pay a lot of money. And of course, Wayne Gretzky is not going to show up at this camp, but they're going to get some merch.
So this dialogue thing is like Wayne Gretzky hockey camp for like pseudo intellectuals who want to feel important and have a lot of money to spend. Like Peter Thiel is not showing up, nor is Wayne Gretzky, maybe Ezra Klein will, but like You're just paying a lot of money to feel like you're sort of like in the middle of some important discussion. And it's not a conspiracy. It's just capitalism.
