Mark looked like he experienced a nuclear blast just before starting the video call, but he was wearing glasses.
-
this is going to be a really cool episode, thanks to all 4 of you
-
This is the Faze Clan version of Zuck
-
I enjoy these podcasts
-
Interesting view on advertising when his pods have so much of it🤷🏾♂️
-
Looks like Mark had a nice beach vacation 😂
-
Zuck looks like he's in a TikTok halloween costume.

In recent years, a significant portion of the stock market’s returns have been driven by just a handful of companies that have come to be known as the “Magnificent 7.” (AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, AMZN, META, TSLA) I have about 300k ready money to invest for my eventual retirement. Which of these stocks do you suggest as 'healthiest' in terms of profit and loss?
-
Congrats on the move.
-
You moved to Austin? Good move! Your children are much safer now. They'll have a chance to enjoy being outdoors, breathing cleaner air and just being kids.
-
Free money doesn't change how people think, their social influences or their judgment.
-
Goodness, the Trump impression is the BEST!
-
Almost every person I speak to hates Spotify shuffle with a passion. Like hundreds of memes about it. Is there any chance people just use Spotify because there isn't really any other alternative?
-
I think Jason is BSing about the move.
-
UBI is nuts. Expecting entrepreneurship when half of the population have an IQ below 100 by definition. Handouts never work. How many times do we have to run the same experiment?
-
Meta has integrated Llama into Whatsapp. It just text only, but it's a start.
-
Low-key want molly back
