Today's number, $900,000. That's the value of the watch Mark Zuckerberg wore as he announced the end of fact-checking at Meta. True story. A boy said to Mark Zuckerberg, my daddy said you're stealing our information, to which Mark responded, is not your dad. Okay, I have another one. You ready? Okay. Everyone needs to turn on the camera, though. We have all these interns.
What's the difference between Mark Zuckerberg and my neighbor Steve? What? Steve is not a cunt. Wow, everyone's laughing. By the way, because I'm now residing in London, I can say that word. That's really the primary advantage of living in London is I can use that word and it doesn't have the same kind of misogynistic, you know, joie de vivre to it.
You need to do it with an English accent there. It sort of softens the blow. Oh, I appreciate that. I'd hear try. I'd like to end your career early and reduce your negotiating leverage for bonus season. Say, well, we're overlooking some of the faux pas you've made. Yeah, maybe later. It says comedy gold. Did you see that watch he was wearing, Scott, that Zuckerberg was wearing?
I didn't. I should look at it here. I'll pull it up. Is it nice? I'd like to get your thoughts. I think it's a terrible watch. I think it looks very ugly. What do young aspirational guys want? What is the watch you want? I think we talked about this. You want a Rolex, right? I'll take a Rolex. I think if I could have any watch, I think it would be... a Patek Aquanaut would be my number one.
Wow. You really know what you're talking about. I don't know anything about watches except back to me, my mom gave me a really nice watch or what felt like a nice watch for me. Believe it or not, it was like a high-end Casio, which in my household was pretty nice. I think it cost 200 bucks.
And I was rowing crew, she gave it to me in college, said, after I got through my first year, she said, I'm really proud of you, you know, a nice moment for us. She gave me this nice watch. And literally second morning in crew practice, I heard like the buckle came undone and I saw the watch.
