So, basically, if you're looking >> Yeah. So, basically, if you're looking at it, it looks like it's the size of a at it, it looks like it's the size of a at it, it looks like it's the size of a red brick. Like for building a house, it red brick. Like for building a house, it red brick. Like for building a house, it looks about that size. And so if you looks about that size. And so if you looks about that size. And so if you imagine you have a home gym or any gym imagine you have a home gym or any gym imagine you have a home gym or any gym and you have a squat rack, imagine and you have a squat rack, imagine and you have a squat rack, imagine having this brick that you could attach having this brick that you could attach having this brick that you could attach to various points of the squat rack and to various points of the squat rack and to various points of the squat rack and then you could attach a pulley or a then you could attach a pulley or a then you could attach a pulley or a handle to it. And it's sort of like a handle to it. And it's sort of like a handle to it. And it's sort of like a portable cable machine except instead of portable cable machine except instead of portable cable machine except instead of a cable machine, it's just this bricksiz a cable machine, it's just this bricksiz a cable machine, it's just this bricksiz pulley that I imagine is uh magnetically pulley that I imagine is uh magnetically pulley that I imagine is uh magnetically creating resistance. So you could say creating resistance. So you could say creating resistance. So you could say make this 400 lb worth of weight and you make this 400 lb worth of weight and you make this 400 lb worth of weight and you pull. But it's special because it's very pull. But it's special because it's very pull. But it's special because it's very precise I believe. precise I believe. precise I believe. >> Right. So there's a couple things there. >> Right. So there's a couple things there. >> Right. So there's a couple things there. One is you you nailed it. It's a bow One is you you nailed it. It's a bow One is you you nailed it. It's a bow flex that's the size of like a shoe box flex that's the size of like a shoe box flex that's the size of like a shoe box or even smaller than a shoe box which is or even smaller than a shoe box which is or even smaller than a shoe box which is pretty cool to put a cable machine pretty cool to put a cable machine pretty cool to put a cable machine inside of such a small thing. So there's inside of such a small thing. So there's inside of such a small thing. So there's first point is small small footprint. first point is small small footprint. first point is small small footprint. That's a big deal because most gym That's a big deal because most gym That's a big deal because most gym equipment is enormous and bulky. The equipment is enormous and bulky. The equipment is enormous and bulky. The second thing is that you can change the second thing is that you can change the second thing is that you can change the the precision you're talking about the precision you're talking about the precision you're talking about specifically is you can change where the specifically is you can change where the specifically is you can change where the resistance happens. So, let's say I go resistance happens. So, let's say I go resistance happens. So, let's say I go pick up a pair of dumbbells. If it's 60 pick up a pair of dumbbells. If it's 60 pick up a pair of dumbbells. If it's 60 lb, then it's 60 lb on the way up of my lb, then it's 60 lb on the way up of my lb, then it's 60 lb on the way up of my curl. It's 60 lb on the way down of my curl. It's 60 lb on the way down of my curl. It's 60 lb on the way down of my curl, right? There's no difference curl, right? There's no difference curl, right? There's no difference there. But the way your muscles work is there. But the way your muscles work is there. But the way your muscles work is that the the the let's say the curling that the the the let's say the curling that the the the let's say the curling up, which is the concentric part of the up, which is the concentric part of the up, which is the concentric part of the motion, and the eccentric, which is the motion, and the eccentric, which is the motion, and the eccentric, which is the bringing it back down, you actually have bringing it back down, you actually have bringing it back down, you actually have totally different strengths. So your totally different strengths. So your totally different strengths. So your eccentric can typically hold have like I eccentric can typically hold have like I eccentric can typically hold have like I don't know somewhere between 20 and 60% don't know somewhere between 20 and 60% don't know somewhere between 20 and 60% more load than your concentric. But if more load than your concentric. But if more load than your concentric. But if you're picking a pair of dumbbells, well you're picking a pair of dumbbells, well you're picking a pair of dumbbells, well you just got to pick the one you're sort you just got to pick the one you're sort you just got to pick the one you're sort of limited by your weaker part which is of limited by your weaker part which is of limited by your weaker part which is your concentric load. So what's actually your concentric load. So what's actually your concentric load. So what's actually happening is that the more important happening is that the more important happening is that the more important part of the movement, the eentric load, part of the movement, the eentric load, part of the movement, the eentric load, you're actually undertraining because you're actually undertraining because you're actually undertraining because you're limited by what you could what you're limited by what you could what you're limited by what you could what you were able to curl. Now what this you were able to curl. Now what this you were able to curl. Now what this machine does, which is kind of great, is machine does, which is kind of great, is machine does, which is kind of great, is that it lets you change the weight. So that it lets you change the weight. So that it lets you change the weight. So you could say, "Hey, on the way up, give you could say, "Hey, on the way up, give you could say, "Hey, on the way up, give me 100 pounds, but on the way down, make me 100 pounds, but on the way down, make me 100 pounds, but on the way down, make it 150." And so that precision of it 150." And so that precision of it 150." And so that precision of changing the the curve of where the changing the the curve of where the changing the the curve of where the resistance happens in the movement, resistance happens in the movement, resistance happens in the movement, apparently, you get like incredible apparently, you get like incredible apparently, you get like incredible progress and gains from this. Now, I progress and gains from this. Now, I progress and gains from this. Now, I don't know how real that is. Like I I don't know how real that is. Like I I don't know how real that is. Like I I don't want to make a claim that I can't don't want to make a claim that I can't don't want to make a claim that I can't back up. I've never used this device, back up. I've never used this device, back up. I've never used this device, but in theory, that makes total sense to but in theory, that makes total sense to but in theory, that makes total sense to me. And I think this is kind of a game me. And I think this is kind of a game me. And I think this is kind of a game changer on multiple fronts. So that's changer on multiple fronts. So that's changer on multiple fronts. So that's it's a game changer in size cuz now you it's a game changer in size cuz now you it's a game changer in size cuz now you can have a piece of equipment anywhere. can have a piece of equipment anywhere. can have a piece of equipment anywhere. >> Well, you still need like um like a you >> Well, you still need like um like a you >> Well, you still need like um like a you still need um an anchor. So you still still need um an anchor. So you still still need um an anchor. So you still need like a squat rack. need like a squat rack. need like a squat rack. >> But it could be a wall. It could be a >> But it could be a wall. It could be a >> But it could be a wall. It could be a tree. It could be like anything. It tree. It could be like anything. It tree. It could be like anything. It doesn't need to be doesn't need to be doesn't need to be >> a tree. Yeah. As long as it could hold >> a tree. Yeah. As long as it could hold >> a tree. Yeah. As long as it could hold like as long as it could hold like 300 like as long as it could hold like 300 like as long as it could hold like 300 or 200 lb worth of force. or 200 lb worth of force. or 200 lb worth of force. >> Yeah. I think it goes up to I think the >> Yeah. I think it goes up to I think the >> Yeah. I think it goes up to I think the max resistance is like 200 I think on max resistance is like 200 I think on max resistance is like 200 I think on their main main skew. their main main skew. their main main skew. >> Yeah. But if like you could use this in >> Yeah. But if like you could use this in >> Yeah. But if like you could use this in lie of a bench press. So you could lie of a bench press. So you could lie of a bench press. So you could actually use as a bench press, but you actually use as a bench press, but you actually use as a bench press, but you would need two of them, one on each would need two of them, one on each would need two of them, one on each side, side, side, >> right? So like, so the so the size is a >> right? So like, so the so the size is a >> right? So like, so the so the size is a big deal, the potential gains you could big deal, the potential gains you could big deal, the potential gains you could get by changing the eentric concentric get by changing the eentric concentric get by changing the eentric concentric loads. And then the third is the weight loads. And then the third is the weight loads. And then the third is the weight of it. So the bulk of the cost of gym of it. So the bulk of the cost of gym of it. So the bulk of the cost of gym equipment is in the fact that you're equipment is in the fact that you're equipment is in the fact that you're shipping like 1,000 lb to someone's shipping like 1,000 lb to someone's shipping like 1,000 lb to someone's house whenever you have to do this house whenever you have to do this house whenever you have to do this or,000bs to a gym. And now if you have or,000bs to a gym. And now if you have or,000bs to a gym. And now if you have this thing the size of a brick, well, this thing the size of a brick, well, this thing the size of a brick, well, it's also the the weight of a brick it's also the the weight of a brick it's also the the weight of a brick pretty much because the resistance is pretty much because the resistance is pretty much because the resistance is from uh the the cable pulley, not from from uh the the cable pulley, not from from uh the the cable pulley, not from like actual weight in the box. So I like actual weight in the box. So I like actual weight in the box. So I think this is a big deal. And this might think this is a big deal. And this might think this is a big deal. And this might like change the way that gyms are made, like change the way that gyms are made, like change the way that gyms are made, home gyms work. People home gyms work. People home gyms work. People >> It actually comes with a battery. You >> It actually comes with a battery. You >> It actually comes with a battery. You charge it. So the way the technology charge it. So the way the technology charge it. So the way the technology works is it has some type of battery and works is it has some type of battery and works is it has some type of battery and you have to but you do have to charge you have to but you do have to charge you have to but you do have to charge it, I think, after every session. But it it, I think, after every session. But it it, I think, after every session. But it is incredible how you can get two or 300 is incredible how you can get two or 300 is incredible how you can get two or 300 I think it's 200 lb like you said. 200 I think it's 200 lb like you said. 200 I think it's 200 lb like you said. 200 lb of force from like a thing that's lb of force from like a thing that's lb of force from like a thing that's this small. this small. this small. >> Well, I think I just sold myself on it >> Well, I think I just sold myself on it >> Well, I think I just sold myself on it on this on this pond. I I'm I'm very on this on this pond. I I'm I'm very on this on this pond. I I'm I'm very curious about something like this. curious about something like this. curious about something like this. >> Did you go down this rabbit hole with uh >> Did you go down this rabbit hole with uh >> Did you go down this rabbit hole with uh when you were making your home gym? when you were making your home gym? when you were making your home gym? >> I tried to go down the rabbit hole. It >> I tried to go down the rabbit hole. It >> I tried to go down the rabbit hole. It was the wrong rabbit hole because the was the wrong rabbit hole because the was the wrong rabbit hole because the people who are interested in this, people who are interested in this, people who are interested in this, they're too interested in the gym they're too interested in the gym they're too interested in the gym equipment. Whereas I'm interested in equipment. Whereas I'm interested in equipment. Whereas I'm interested in like the MTV cribs or what's it like pit like the MTV cribs or what's it like pit like the MTV cribs or what's it like pit my pit my ride. It's like, hey, how do I my pit my ride. It's like, hey, how do I my pit my ride. It's like, hey, how do I turn a kind of generic space into a cool turn a kind of generic space into a cool turn a kind of generic space into a cool space space space >> very quickly and what are like most bang >> very quickly and what are like most bang >> very quickly and what are like most bang for my buck materials? I'm not trying to for my buck materials? I'm not trying to for my buck materials? I'm not trying to stuff it with equipment cuz the way I stuff it with equipment cuz the way I stuff it with equipment cuz the way I train, like our training model is much train, like our training model is much train, like our training model is much more functional anyway. It's movement more functional anyway. It's movement more functional anyway. It's movement based. It's not I don't want 15 bulky based. It's not I don't want 15 bulky based. It's not I don't want 15 bulky like static machines or racks that I like static machines or racks that I like static machines or racks that I need to to work on. need to to work on. need to to work on. >> Yeah. Look, on one hand, I'm like, dude, >> Yeah. Look, on one hand, I'm like, dude, >> Yeah. Look, on one hand, I'm like, dude, 45 lbs is 45 lbs regardless of like how 45 lbs is 45 lbs regardless of like how 45 lbs is 45 lbs regardless of like how nice it is. And like I lift things up nice it is. And like I lift things up nice it is. And like I lift things up and I put them down. That's like what and I put them down. That's like what and I put them down. That's like what the exercise is. But then on the other the exercise is. But then on the other the exercise is. But then on the other side, there's like gadget nerds, of side, there's like gadget nerds, of side, there's like gadget nerds, of which I am one of those guys. And so, which I am one of those guys. And so, which I am one of those guys. And so, uh, I'm in the category of people who uh, I'm in the category of people who uh, I'm in the category of people who just love browsing this gym stuff. just love browsing this gym stuff. just love browsing this gym stuff. There's this guy named Coupe Mitchell There's this guy named Coupe Mitchell There's this guy named Coupe Mitchell that I met I think in 2020 because or 19 that I met I think in 2020 because or 19 that I met I think in 2020 because or 19 when I was building my home gym. And when I was building my home gym. And when I was building my home gym. And he's been reviewing stuff for years and he's been reviewing stuff for years and he's been reviewing stuff for years and it's a really good channel and it was it's a really good channel and it was it's a really good channel and it was hilarious. Hermosi did this video with hilarious. Hermosi did this video with hilarious. Hermosi did this video with him and this was the one time where I've him and this was the one time where I've him and this was the one time where I've seen Alex like can seen Alex like can seen Alex like can >> he was asking the questions like you >> he was asking the questions like you >> he was asking the questions like you know he's always people are always know he's always people are always know he's always people are always asking him questions and it was really asking him questions and it was really asking him questions and it was really cool and they were nerding out for about cool and they were nerding out for about cool and they were nerding out for about 30 minutes about this vulture thing. 30 minutes about this vulture thing. 30 minutes about this vulture thing. >> Well you were you were my version of >> Well you were you were my version of >> Well you were you were my version of this cuz when I was building my home gym this cuz when I was building my home gym this cuz when I was building my home gym I was like hey tell me what I need to do I was like hey tell me what I need to do I was like hey tell me what I need to do and you were like hey uh I was like what and you were like hey uh I was like what and you were like hey uh I was like what do I need to do for the flooring do I need to do for the flooring do I need to do for the flooring >> horse stall mats? >> horse stall mats? >> horse stall mats? >> Yeah you were like hey get these horse >> Yeah you were like hey get these horse >> Yeah you were like hey get these horse mats it's uh go to this barn website. mats it's uh go to this barn website. mats it's uh go to this barn website. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> And get these things that horses like >> And get these things that horses like >> And get these things that horses like poop on or stand on. And I was like, poop on or stand on.

What's What's the solution? >> So, you have you ever looked inside of >> So, you have you ever looked inside of >> So, you have you ever looked inside of like a garage or or a barn there when like a garage or or a barn there when like a garage or or a barn there when when when the when it comes together when when the when it comes together when when the when it comes together where the 2x4s come together to form the where the 2x4s come together to form the where the 2x4s come together to form the um the angle of like the home, they um the angle of like the home, they um the angle of like the home, they usually use this like piece of metal usually use this like piece of metal usually use this like piece of metal that has nails on it. You put those on that has nails on it. You put those on that has nails on it. You put those on the bottom of the mat. So, you lift the the bottom of the mat. So, you lift the the bottom of the mat. So, you lift the mats up and you put these little things mats up and you put these little things mats up and you put these little things and it nails them down. and it nails them down. and it nails them down. >> So, then they don't move. Is that the >> So, then they don't move. Is that the >> So, then they don't move. Is that the idea? idea? idea? >> Imagine a thing that looks like a >> Imagine a thing that looks like a >> Imagine a thing that looks like a post-it note, but that post-it note is post-it note, but that post-it note is post-it note, but that post-it note is made out of metal. And on top of the made out of metal. And on top of the made out of metal. And on top of the metal on top of the Post-it note part is metal on top of the Post-it note part is metal on top of the Post-it note part is like tons of little like tacks, like like tons of little like tacks, like like tons of little like tacks, like little like uh little little uh nails. little like uh little little uh nails. little like uh little little uh nails. And so, you just set it on you set it on And so, you just set it on you set it on And so, you just set it on you set it on the ground, you put the mats on top of the ground, you put the mats on top of the ground, you put the mats on top of it, so it like comes like the seam comes it, so it like comes like the seam comes it, so it like comes like the seam comes together and then you just smack it down together and then you just smack it down together and then you just smack it down really hard. really hard. really hard. >> I see. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, I >> I see. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, I >> I see. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, I needed that. Uh, needed that. Uh, needed that.

Physical AI. All right. So, >> Next trend. Physical AI. All right. So, >> Next trend. Physical AI. All right. So, um I think you're going to hear this um I think you're going to hear this um I think you're going to hear this phrase a lot. And I think people when phrase a lot. And I think people when phrase a lot. And I think people when they normally say it, they're saying it they normally say it, they're saying it they normally say it, they're saying it for robots. They're talking about for robots. They're talking about for robots. They're talking about optimist. They're talking about uh the optimist. They're talking about uh the optimist. They're talking about uh the figure robot. They're talking about like figure robot. They're talking about like figure robot. They're talking about like humano robots. I'm talking about humano robots. I'm talking about humano robots. I'm talking about something different. I'm talking about something different. I'm talking about something different. I'm talking about almost like these gimmick devices where almost like these gimmick devices where almost like these gimmick devices where you can you just put AI in anything. So, you can you just put AI in anything. So, you can you just put AI in anything. So, here's an example. Uh, have you ever here's an example. Uh, have you ever here's an example.

It's so and maybe it's better now. I maybe ordered maybe it's better now. I maybe ordered maybe it's better now. I maybe ordered the early version and it was definitely the early version and it was definitely the early version and it was definitely like the Wish.com like type of like the Wish.com like type of like the Wish.com like type of experience, but the premise of this is experience, but the premise of this is experience, but the premise of this is it looks like a business card almost or it looks like a business card almost or it looks like a business card almost or this is what it did. It looked like a this is what it did. It looked like a this is what it did. It looked like a business card, but it basically is like business card, but it basically is like business card, but it basically is like a physical meeting recorder. So, you a physical meeting recorder. So, you a physical meeting recorder. So, you could bring this to any meeting. You could bring this to any meeting. You could bring this to any meeting. You could put this on the table and it'll could put this on the table and it'll could put this on the table and it'll record your conversation. And it's record your conversation. And it's record your conversation. And it's something you could use for your own something you could use for your own something you could use for your own notes, just talking out loud at your notes, just talking out loud at your notes, just talking out loud at your home office or um again if you're at a home office or um again if you're at a home office or um again if you're at a at a at a meeting with somebody. I think at a at a meeting with somebody. I think at a at a meeting with somebody. I think the big use case actually that they say the big use case actually that they say the big use case actually that they say is student notes. So students bring this is student notes. So students bring this is student notes. So students bring this to class lectures. And I think that's to class lectures. And I think that's to class lectures. And I think that's where they found like really fast growth where they found like really fast growth where they found like really fast growth was, oh cool, if I go to class, this was, oh cool, if I go to class, this was, oh cool, if I go to class, this thing will record it. It'll transcribe thing will record it. It'll transcribe thing will record it. It'll transcribe it. It's like what uh Fathom and some of it. It's like what uh Fathom and some of it. It's like what uh Fathom and some of these other like um meeting recorders these other like um meeting recorders these other like um meeting recorders are doing for the business world, they are doing for the business world, they are doing for the business world, they were doing for classrooms. So this thing were doing for classrooms. So this thing were doing for classrooms. So this thing kind of took off and I think there's a kind of took off and I think there's a kind of took off and I think there's a lot of things in this genre. So there's lot of things in this genre. So there's lot of things in this genre. So there's teddy bears where um now your teddy bear teddy bears where um now your teddy bear teddy bears where um now your teddy bear comes with essentially like chat GBT comes with essentially like chat GBT comes with essentially like chat GBT inside. So um I have a couple of these inside. So um I have a couple of these inside. So um I have a couple of these like for my kids. Again, still all in like for my kids. Again, still all in like for my kids. Again, still all in the janky state. Nothing that I would be the janky state. Nothing that I would be the janky state. Nothing that I would be like this is good yet, but it's like this is good yet, but it's like this is good yet, but it's definitely where the puck is going. definitely where the puck is going. definitely where the puck is going. >> Wasn't one of them incubated in your >> Wasn't one of them incubated in your >> Wasn't one of them incubated in your buddy's uh buddy's uh buddy's uh >> Yeah, Fink has one that that that was >> Yeah, Fink has one that that that was >> Yeah, Fink has one that that that was being incubated there. being incubated there. being incubated there. >> It had the best launch video I've ever >> It had the best launch video I've ever >> It had the best launch video I've ever seen. It was basically this like like seen. It was basically this like like seen. It was basically this like like nerdy engineer type uh a guy like nerdy engineer type uh a guy like nerdy engineer type uh a guy like sitting there and the bear was saying sitting there and the bear was saying sitting there and the bear was saying like farcon you're you're such a nerd like farcon you're you're such a nerd like farcon you're you're such a nerd you're always talking to a bunch of you're always talking to a bunch of you're always talking to a bunch of robots and he's like this like nerdy robots and he's like this like nerdy robots and he's like this like nerdy guys like having a conversation with a guys like having a conversation with a guys like having a conversation with a robot. It was hilarious. robot. It was hilarious. robot. It was hilarious. >> Yeah. Uh that's the idea. So um it's a >> Yeah. Uh that's the idea. So um it's a >> Yeah. Uh that's the idea. So um it's a talking toy. I think uh Fatine is the talking toy. I think uh Fatine is the talking toy. I think uh Fatine is the guy who's guy who's guy who's called magical toys.com is the name of called magical toys.com is the name of called magical toys.com is the name of theirs. They gave me like a really early theirs. They gave me like a really early theirs. They gave me like a really early prototype of this thing. like you could prototype of this thing. like you could prototype of this thing. like you could literally it's like the bear on the literally it's like the bear on the literally it's like the bear on the front and then there was like a control front and then there was like a control front and then there was like a control control board like dangling out the back control board like dangling out the back control board like dangling out the back like open wires. So you know it I got like open wires. So you know it I got like open wires. So you know it I got like the earliest prototype so I don't like the earliest prototype so I don't like the earliest prototype so I don't know how good the newest one is but know how good the newest one is but know how good the newest one is but again this is where the world is going again this is where the world is going again this is where the world is going where your toys are going to be able to where your toys are going to be able to where your toys are going to be able to talk to kids to teach your kids. They're talk to kids to teach your kids. They're talk to kids to teach your kids. They're going to be interactive in a open world going to be interactive in a open world going to be interactive in a open world way. So a lot of toys today are way. So a lot of toys today are way. So a lot of toys today are interactive but it's just hardcoded like interactive but it's just hardcoded like interactive but it's just hardcoded like you push this button it's saying you push this button it's saying you push this button it's saying itsybitsy spider. You push this button itsybitsy spider. You push this button itsybitsy spider. You push this button it's going to say hello. Well these toys it's going to say hello. Well these toys it's going to say hello. Well these toys can do anything. And so once this works, can do anything. And so once this works, can do anything. And so once this works, it's gonna be kind of amazing. When my it's gonna be kind of amazing. When my it's gonna be kind of amazing. When my kids ride in our car, we have a Tesla kids ride in our car, we have a Tesla kids ride in our car, we have a Tesla and Tesla has AI built in. And so I and Tesla has AI built in. And so I and Tesla has AI built in. And so I would say on half the rides, we just pop would say on half the rides, we just pop would say on half the rides, we just pop her pop the AI open and we're like, her pop the AI open and we're like, her pop the AI open and we're like, "Hey, we're playing guess the animal "Hey, we're playing guess the animal "Hey, we're playing guess the animal like come up with, you know, come up like come up with, you know, come up like come up with, you know, come up with animals. We're going to guess or uh with animals. We're going to guess or uh with animals. We're going to guess or uh how does like you know, where does the how does like you know, where does the how does like you know, where does the earth come from, right? Like the earth come from, right? Like the earth come from, right? Like the questions my son has and I'm like this questions my son has and I'm like this questions my son has and I'm like this is pretty hard to say like what's older, is pretty hard to say like what's older, is pretty hard to say like what's older, the you know, the sun or the moon?" You the you know, the sun or the moon?" You the you know, the sun or the moon?" You know, things like that. And then she know, things like that. And then she know, things like that. And then she explained where did who invented explained where did who invented explained where did who invented chocolate? We learned this the other chocolate? We learned this the other chocolate? We learned this the other day. Do you know who invented chocolate day. Do you know who invented chocolate day. Do you know who invented chocolate by the way? by the way? by the way? >> No idea. >> No idea. >> No idea. >> So this is kind of a crazy story. Thank >> So this is kind of a crazy story. Thank >> So this is kind of a crazy story. Thank you AI for telling me this story in the you AI for telling me this story in the you AI for telling me this story in the car. car. car. >> So chocolate was uh initially they took >> So chocolate was uh initially they took >> So chocolate was uh initially they took the cocoa beans or it was like where the cocoa beans or it was like where the cocoa beans or it was like where does chocolate come from? It's like oh does chocolate come from? It's like oh does chocolate come from? It's like oh these like cacao trees these like cacao trees these like cacao trees >> like a nasty bean, right? It's like >> like a nasty bean, right? It's like >> like a nasty bean, right? It's like >> you think this nasty bean it's bitter. >> you think this nasty bean it's bitter. >> you think this nasty bean it's bitter. But then if you roast it and you did But then if you roast it and you did But then if you roast it and you did whatever and then you add sugar, you add whatever and then you add sugar, you add whatever and then you add sugar, you add butter, you add all this stuff, it butter, you add all this stuff, it butter, you add all this stuff, it becomes like milk chocolate that we all becomes like milk chocolate that we all becomes like milk chocolate that we all like. So I was like whoa whoa whoa whoa. like. So I was like whoa whoa whoa whoa. like. So I was like whoa whoa whoa whoa. >> Yeah. Yeah, >> Yeah. Yeah, >> Yeah. Yeah, >> who would have thought of that? Who >> who would have thought of that? Who >> who would have thought of that? Who would have took the nut and like got to would have took the nut and like got to would have took the nut and like got to chocolate bar at the end? Like that chocolate bar at the end? Like that chocolate bar at the end? Like that sounds like an insane leap and AI was sounds like an insane leap and AI was sounds like an insane leap and AI was like, "Well, here's the progression." like, "Well, here's the progression." like, "Well, here's the progression." Actually, first they took the the cacao Actually, first they took the the cacao Actually, first they took the the cacao thing and then they put it just in a thing and then they put it just in a thing and then they put it just in a drink and it was a spicy kind of bitter drink and it was a spicy kind of bitter drink and it was a spicy kind of bitter drink, more like a coffee, but they drink, more like a coffee, but they drink, more like a coffee, but they thought it had these like benefits and thought it had these like benefits and thought it had these like benefits and so it was really popular for that. So so it was really popular for that. So so it was really popular for that. So then this doctor named like something then this doctor named like something then this doctor named like something fry he believed in the the the medical fry he believed in the the the medical fry he believed in the the the medical benefits of the drink and then his he benefits of the drink and then his he benefits of the drink and then his he had stopped being a doctor and his had stopped being a doctor and his had stopped being a doctor and his family had made a industrial plant to family had made a industrial plant to family had made a industrial plant to make the drink but in order to increase make the drink but in order to increase make the drink but in order to increase demand he had this idea to experiment to demand he had this idea to experiment to demand he had this idea to experiment to turn it into a bar like a snack bar and turn it into a bar like a snack bar and turn it into a bar like a snack bar and then the bar was too bitter. Like the then the bar was too bitter. Like the then the bar was too bitter. Like the bitterness was okay in the drink form bitterness was okay in the drink form bitterness was okay in the drink form but it wasn't that good in the bar form. but it wasn't that good in the bar form. but it wasn't that good in the bar form. So he's like we'll just add a [ __ ] ton So he's like we'll just add a [ __ ] ton So he's like we'll just add a [ __ ] ton of sugar to this and like see if we can of sugar to this and like see if we can of sugar to this and like see if we can make this good. and he created the make this good. and he created the make this good. and he created the chocolate bar. chocolate bar. chocolate bar. >> That's pretty awesome.

In the sports industry, this is the same thing. You industry, this is the same thing. You industry, this is the same thing. You know, I grew up, the first podcast I know, I grew up, the first podcast I know, I grew up, the first podcast I ever listened to was Bill Simmons. I ever listened to was Bill Simmons. I ever listened to was Bill Simmons. I used to listen to him back in 2007, but used to listen to him back in 2007, but used to listen to him back in 2007, but in college when he used to like have to in college when he used to like have to in college when he used to like have to like download from the RSS feed and you like download from the RSS feed and you like download from the RSS feed and you know he had like Ronald Jenkins doing know he had like Ronald Jenkins doing know he had like Ronald Jenkins doing his intro music type of deal and now his intro music type of deal and now his intro music type of deal and now sports podcasts are like well here's sports podcasts are like well here's sports podcasts are like well here's LeBron has his own podcast called Mind LeBron has his own podcast called Mind LeBron has his own podcast called Mind the Game where he's sipping wine talking the Game where he's sipping wine talking the Game where he's sipping wine talking to JJ Reick the future Lakers coach and to JJ Reick the future Lakers coach and to JJ Reick the future Lakers coach and they're just talking X's and O's and they're just talking X's and O's and they're just talking X's and O's and then oh guess what um you know Max then oh guess what um you know Max then oh guess what um you know Max Kellerman he's not on TV anymore so so Kellerman he's not on TV anymore so so Kellerman he's not on TV anymore so so Max Kellerman who goes from the number Max Kellerman who goes from the number Max Kellerman who goes from the number one TV show to now creates a podcast one TV show to now creates a podcast one TV show to now creates a podcast with Rich Paul, LeBron's like longtime with Rich Paul, LeBron's like longtime with Rich Paul, LeBron's like longtime friend and sport like the number one friend and sport like the number one friend and sport like the number one sports agent in basketball. They're sports agent in basketball. They're sports agent in basketball. They're going to they're going to talk shop. So going to they're going to talk shop. So going to they're going to talk shop. So like the amount the the type of people like the amount the the type of people like the amount the the type of people who are getting into this industry, the who are getting into this industry, the who are getting into this industry, the quality of production and sets like our quality of production and sets like our quality of production and sets like our friend Chris Williamson is doing like friend Chris Williamson is doing like friend Chris Williamson is doing like IMAX 4K like you know your phone starts IMAX 4K like you know your phone starts IMAX 4K like you know your phone starts rumbling when an insight happens like I rumbling when an insight happens like I rumbling when an insight happens like I don't know what he's doing with don't know what he's doing with don't know what he's doing with production value and then you have the production value and then you have the production value and then you have the volume the overall volume that comes volume the overall volume that comes volume the overall volume that comes from this and I think it's because of from this and I think it's because of from this and I think it's because of what you said podcasts went from niche what you said podcasts went from niche what you said podcasts went from niche and nerdy to now kind of cool cool and nerdy to now kind of cool cool and nerdy to now kind of cool cool people do them. people think you can people do them. people think you can people do them. people think you can make a lot of money doing them, which I make a lot of money doing them, which I make a lot of money doing them, which I think is not as true as people think. think is not as true as people think. think is not as true as people think. And I think there's this big problem, And I think there's this big problem, And I think there's this big problem, which is what I call the shelf space which is what I call the shelf space which is what I call the shelf space problem, which is that a podcast is problem, which is that a podcast is problem, which is that a podcast is great when you have listeners because great when you have listeners because great when you have listeners because it's like an hour in their ears and it's it's like an hour in their ears and it's it's like an hour in their ears and it's habitual and it becomes a part of their habitual and it becomes a part of their habitual and it becomes a part of their day when they're commuting or they're at day when they're commuting or they're at day when they're commuting or they're at work or they're doing chores or they're work or they're doing chores or they're work or they're doing chores or they're going for a run or the gym. going for a run or the gym. going for a run or the gym. And I'm I'm glad we're that for some And I'm I'm glad we're that for some And I'm I'm glad we're that for some number of people, but the reality is number of people, but the reality is number of people, but the reality is like you only have so many idle hours like you only have so many idle hours like you only have so many idle hours where you're going to listen to where you're going to listen to where you're going to listen to podcasts. And so the number of podcast podcasts. And so the number of podcast podcasts. And so the number of podcast might 10x 50x and it has over the last, might 10x 50x and it has over the last, might 10x 50x and it has over the last, you know, 10 years or so. But the number you know, 10 years or so. But the number you know, 10 years or so. But the number of podcast listeners and listening space of podcast listeners and listening space of podcast listeners and listening space hasn't gone up in that same way. And I hasn't gone up in that same way. And I hasn't gone up in that same way. And I think that dam has broken. And now think that dam has broken. And now think that dam has broken. And now what's happened is I think a couple what's happened is I think a couple what's happened is I think a couple things are going to happen. There's things are going to happen. There's things are going to happen. There's going to be too many podcasts that are going to be too many podcasts that are going to be too many podcasts that are bad and boring. So that's happening bad and boring. So that's happening bad and boring. So that's happening already. I think there's going to be a already. I think there's going to be a already. I think there's going to be a disillusionment when people realize how disillusionment when people realize how disillusionment when people realize how much time, money, and effort goes into much time, money, and effort goes into much time, money, and effort goes into podcasting well and you don't get uh podcasting well and you don't get uh podcasting well and you don't get uh fame and money back. And then I think fame and money back. And then I think fame and money back. And then I think the the the trick and what's happening the the the trick and what's happening the the the trick and what's happening this the the the savior in this case is this the the the savior in this case is this the the the savior in this case is clips. And so I think podcasts are just clips. And so I think podcasts are just clips. And so I think podcasts are just becoming clip farms. becoming clip farms. becoming clip farms. >> That's not where real engagement is. But >> That's not where real engagement is. But >> That's not where real engagement is. But I think that's what that's what all I think that's what that's what all I think that's what that's what all these people are going to use as their these people are going to use as their these people are going to use as their moral victory, which is uh oh look how moral victory, which is uh oh look how moral victory, which is uh oh look how many people liked that clip on Twitter many people liked that clip on Twitter many people liked that clip on Twitter or Tik Tok and they're going to make a or Tik Tok and they're going to make a or Tik Tok and they're going to make a the pod is a clip farm and whether the pod is a clip farm and whether the pod is a clip farm and whether anybody listens as a pod or not doesn't anybody listens as a pod or not doesn't anybody listens as a pod or not doesn't really matter. This is I mean TBPN I really matter. This is I mean TBPN I really matter. This is I mean TBPN I think is doing the best at that. Um but think is doing the best at that. Um but think is doing the best at that. Um but but that's where I think all this is but that's where I think all this is but that's where I think all this is going. going. going. >> I think that um what a lot of people >> I think that um what a lot of people >> I think that um what a lot of people Okay, and we we have I think made Okay, and we we have I think made Okay, and we we have I think made mistakes uh on this path a lot as well. mistakes uh on this path a lot as well. mistakes uh on this path a lot as well. I think a lot of people think that just I think a lot of people think that just I think a lot of people think that just because you see the video and um that's because you see the video and um that's because you see the video and um that's what gets your attention because it is what gets your attention because it is what gets your attention because it is cooler. The reality is is that you just cooler. The reality is is that you just cooler. The reality is is that you just said that it's hours and ears and that a said that it's hours and ears and that a said that it's hours and ears and that a lot of the shiny stuff really doesn't lot of the shiny stuff really doesn't lot of the shiny stuff really doesn't matter. The content just needs to be matter. The content just needs to be matter.

And like there's been times where we've like there's been times where we've like there's been times where we've talked about something like in minute 55 talked about something like in minute 55 talked about something like in minute 55 of this podcast and people on the of this podcast and people on the of this podcast and people on the streets will bring it up and they didn't streets will bring it up and they didn't streets will bring it up and they didn't watch that on YouTube. They're listening watch that on YouTube. They're listening watch that on YouTube. They're listening to it while they're working out. If if to it while they're working out. If if to it while they're working out. If if you're working out and in fact if you're you're working out and in fact if you're you're working out and in fact if you're listening to this on your ears, go to listening to this on your ears, go to listening to this on your ears, go to Spotify right now and just like tell us Spotify right now and just like tell us Spotify right now and just like tell us what you're doing right now. I'm curious what you're doing right now. I'm curious what you're doing right now. I'm curious in the comments. But um people aren't in the comments. But um people aren't in the comments. But um people aren't like watching these things. And like watching these things. And like watching these things. And >> what do you mean people aren't watching >> what do you mean people aren't watching >> what do you mean people aren't watching these things? People are definitely these things? People are definitely these things? People are definitely watching these things. watching these things. watching these things. >> No, they're not watching it near if you >> No, they're not watching it near if you >> No, they're not watching it near if you look at the time spent. If you look at look at the time spent. If you look at look at the time spent. If you look at our, for example, if you want on our our, for example, if you want on our our, for example, if you want on our megaphone and you look at time listened megaphone and you look at time listened megaphone and you look at time listened versus time to watch. So the average versus time to watch. So the average versus time to watch. So the average engagement, the average time um on engagement, the average time um on engagement, the average time um on YouTube versus Spotify or some other YouTube versus Spotify or some other YouTube versus Spotify or some other type of feed, it's significantly longer. type of feed, it's significantly longer. type of feed, it's significantly longer. >> So we'll put numbers around this. Our >> So we'll put numbers around this. Our >> So we'll put numbers around this. Our average time on a YouTube video is about average time on a YouTube video is about average time on a YouTube video is about 15 minutes. 15 minutes. 15 minutes. >> Yeah. 15 minutes. >> Yeah. 15 minutes. >> Yeah. 15 minutes. >> And on audio is about 40 to 45 minutes. >> And on audio is about 40 to 45 minutes. >> And on audio is about 40 to 45 minutes. >> Yeah. So, so you you need three views >> Yeah. So, so you you need three views >> Yeah. So, so you you need three views for every one listener of audio if you for every one listener of audio if you for every one listener of audio if you wanted equivalent of uh time spent. Now, wanted equivalent of uh time spent. Now, wanted equivalent of uh time spent. Now, even that's not exactly right because even that's not exactly right because even that's not exactly right because that one person who listened to 45 that one person who listened to 45 that one person who listened to 45 minutes has a deeper sense of connection minutes has a deeper sense of connection minutes has a deeper sense of connection and trust and and uh fandom than three and trust and and uh fandom than three and trust and and uh fandom than three people who watched 15 minutes each. Now, people who watched 15 minutes each. Now, people who watched 15 minutes each. Now, here's the downside for anyone here's the downside for anyone here's the downside for anyone listening. YouTube, it's very simple to listening. YouTube, it's very simple to listening. YouTube, it's very simple to grow. It's not like there's there's a grow. It's not like there's there's a grow. It's not like there's there's a formula behind growing YouTube. It's formula behind growing YouTube. It's formula behind growing YouTube. It's still challenging but it's simple. still challenging but it's simple. still challenging but it's simple. Growing an audio uh feed very hard. It's Growing an audio uh feed very hard. It's Growing an audio uh feed very hard. It's very hard. We have tried so long to do very hard. We have tried so long to do very hard. We have tried so long to do it and we have hit so many plateaus it and we have hit so many plateaus it and we have hit so many plateaus multiple times. Growing audio is so multiple times. Growing audio is so multiple times. Growing audio is so challenging but it is significantly more challenging but it is significantly more challenging but it is significantly more consistent in in listenership but it consistent in in listenership but it consistent in in listenership but it does not grow fast in most cases. does not grow fast in most cases. does not grow fast in most cases. >> I think you're right. I don't think >> I think you're right. I don't think >> I think you're right. I don't think you're right though that like the clips you're right though that like the clips you're right though that like the clips and stuff don't matter. and stuff don't matter. and stuff don't matter. >> No, I didn't say that.

I guess what I'm saying is I >> Right. I guess what I'm saying is I >> Right. I guess what I'm saying is I think that the people who are who are think that the people who are who are think that the people who are who are going to play that game are just going to play that game are just going to play that game are just actually playing a different game and actually playing a different game and actually playing a different game and they can do very well in that game and they can do very well in that game and they can do very well in that game and have like all the results that they want have like all the results that they want have like all the results that they want out of it. But it's very different. It out of it. But it's very different. It out of it. But it's very different. It is a It is like literally just like a is a It is like literally just like a is a It is like literally just like a new game in the same way that I think if new game in the same way that I think if new game in the same way that I think if seven years ago you're making prestige seven years ago you're making prestige seven years ago you're making prestige TV or movies and you looked at like Ryan TV or movies and you looked at like Ryan TV or movies and you looked at like Ryan Treyan and Mr. beast and you're like Treyan and Mr. beast and you're like Treyan and Mr. beast and you're like what? He painted a circle and they have what? He painted a circle and they have what? He painted a circle and they have to these six strangers have to stay in to these six strangers have to stay in to these six strangers have to stay in it and every 3 seconds something changes it and every 3 seconds something changes it and every 3 seconds something changes on the screen like that's not art. No, on the screen like that's not art. No, on the screen like that's not art. No, that's not Breaking Bad. That's not Game that's not Breaking Bad. That's not Game that's not Breaking Bad. That's not Game of Thrones. You're not going to get of Thrones. You're not going to get of Thrones. You're not going to get that. You know, you could say all those that.

You know, you could say all those things. things. things. >> No, but I'm not criticizing it for that >> No, but I'm not criticizing it for that >> No, but I'm not criticizing it for that reason. I'm criticizing it because of reason. I'm criticizing it because of reason. I'm criticizing it because of the the physics, the mechanics of it. the the physics, the mechanics of it. the the physics, the mechanics of it. Often times the equation of influence Often times the equation of influence Often times the equation of influence involves time spent. And so the amount involves time spent. And so the amount involves time spent. And so the amount of time you've spent with someone. So of time you've spent with someone. So of time you've spent with someone. So meaning the meaning the meaning the >> So I I wonder if it's gonna flip or I >> So I I wonder if it's gonna flip or I >> So I I wonder if it's gonna flip or I wonder if volume is the other variable wonder if volume is the other variable wonder if volume is the other variable in this.

I think they're going to put them in your butt. they're going to put them in your butt. they're going to put them in your butt. Peptides are everywhere. And it's a Peptides are everywhere. And it's a Peptides are everywhere. And it's a classic like what the nerds are doing on classic like what the nerds are doing on classic like what the nerds are doing on the weekend, everybody's going to be the weekend, everybody's going to be the weekend, everybody's going to be doing soon. Arguably, they already are doing soon. Arguably, they already are doing soon. Arguably, they already are because OMIC and the GLP ones, those are because OMIC and the GLP ones, those are because OMIC and the GLP ones, those are peptides. But I'm just seeing people I peptides. But I'm just seeing people I peptides. But I'm just seeing people I would not expect, people I don't count would not expect, people I don't count would not expect, people I don't count as biohackers who are very interested as biohackers who are very interested as biohackers who are very interested and jumping through a lot of hoops to and jumping through a lot of hoops to and jumping through a lot of hoops to get peptides because you can't just get get peptides because you can't just get get peptides because you can't just get peptides easily and in a trustworthy peptides easily and in a trustworthy peptides easily and in a trustworthy frictionless way. And so a great proxy frictionless way. And so a great proxy frictionless way. And so a great proxy for demand is like are you willing to, for demand is like are you willing to, for demand is like are you willing to, you know, break the law and like do you know, break the law and like do you know, break the law and like do something sketchy for the thing you something sketchy for the thing you something sketchy for the thing you want? Um well that's what's happening want? Um well that's what's happening want? Um well that's what's happening with peptides. I have, you know, with peptides. I have, you know, with peptides. I have, you know, cousins, brother-in-law, like I have cousins, brother-in-law, like I have cousins, brother-in-law, like I have people who are not like dude just outing people who are not like dude just outing people who are not like dude just outing him. God. him. God. him. God. >> Yeah. He's like, I got shoulder pain >> Yeah. He's like, I got shoulder pain >> Yeah. He's like, I got shoulder pain >> for Did he do BP57? >> for Did he do BP57? >> for Did he do BP57? >> I don't know which one he's on, but >> I don't know which one he's on, but >> I don't know which one he's on, but yeah, he does probably doesn't even know yeah, he does probably doesn't even know yeah, he does probably doesn't even know which one he's on. I got pain. This guy which one he's on. I got pain. This guy which one he's on. I got pain. This guy gave me this acronym and it my shoulder gave me this acronym and it my shoulder gave me this acronym and it my shoulder feels better. I feel younger. feels better.

I I for research we should find called? I I for research we should find out what that is and and start putting out what that is and and start putting out what that is and and start putting it in our bodies. it in our bodies. it in our bodies. >> Yeah. Exactly. So, I just think peptides >> Yeah. Exactly. So, I just think peptides >> Yeah. Exactly. So, I just think peptides are this uh this thing that's got to be are this uh this thing that's got to be are this uh this thing that's got to be a big deal. And if you use proxy for a big deal. And if you use proxy for a big deal. And if you use proxy for demand as people who are willing to jump demand as people who are willing to jump demand as people who are willing to jump through hoops, go through go to through hoops, go through go to through hoops, go through go to untrusted sources. Imagine once somebody untrusted sources. Imagine once somebody untrusted sources. Imagine once somebody makes this easier to access, more easy makes this easier to access, more easy makes this easier to access, more easy form factors, like get it to get it to form factors, like get it to get it to form factors, like get it to get it to gummies, get it to to pills, get it to gummies, get it to to pills, get it to gummies, get it to to pills, get it to different form factors. As that happens different form factors. As that happens different form factors. As that happens over the next 10 years, I think peptides over the next 10 years, I think peptides over the next 10 years, I think peptides will become a normal part of everyday will become a normal part of everyday will become a normal part of everyday life for people. In the same way you life for people. In the same way you life for people. In the same way you take protein supplements and vitamins take protein supplements and vitamins take protein supplements and vitamins and um you know medicine when you're and um you know medicine when you're and um you know medicine when you're sick, I think you're going to have sick, I think you're going to have sick, I think you're going to have enhancements through peptides. enhancements through peptides. enhancements through peptides. >> I'm shocked that you're so interested in >> I'm shocked that you're so interested in >> I'm shocked that you're so interested in this and I think that you will never this and I think that you will never this and I think that you will never take this, right? take this, right? take this, right? >> Sometimes I'm a user first and I become >> Sometimes I'm a user first and I become >> Sometimes I'm a user first and I become an investor.

People jump from one to one to customer. People jump from one to one to customer. People jump from one to one to one. Like you you very easily can switch one. Like you you very easily can switch one. Like you you very easily can switch and there's not really a reason to stay and there's not really a reason to stay and there's not really a reason to stay with someone for a very long time with someone for a very long time with someone for a very long time because in most cases they're just because in most cases they're just because in most cases they're just selling the same thing at and and so selling the same thing at and and so selling the same thing at and and so anytime that you see there's a discount anytime that you see there's a discount anytime that you see there's a discount or a doctor is going to be more liberal or a doctor is going to be more liberal or a doctor is going to be more liberal about what they prescribe or you could about what they prescribe or you could about what they prescribe or you could just like tell someone give me this, you just like tell someone give me this, you just like tell someone give me this, you switch.

This is a trend that is in consequences. This is a trend that is in consequences. This is a trend that is in plain sight, but I think people plain sight, but I think people plain sight, but I think people underestimate how big and how bad this underestimate how big and how bad this underestimate how big and how bad this is going to be. is going to be. is going to be. >> I'm shocked to hear you say that and >> I'm shocked to hear you say that and >> I'm shocked to hear you say that and also I'm very happy to hear you say also I'm very happy to hear you say also I'm very happy to hear you say that. So basically I think there was an that. So basically I think there was an that. So basically I think there was an article in the economist and they talked article in the economist and they talked article in the economist and they talked about the uh how sophisticated sports about the uh how sophisticated sports about the uh how sophisticated sports betting companies are and basically the betting companies are and basically the betting companies are and basically the headline is whenever you make your first headline is whenever you make your first headline is whenever you make your first bet they know to a high degree of bet they know to a high degree of bet they know to a high degree of certainty what type of customer you're certainty what type of customer you're certainty what type of customer you're going to be and they manipulate you and going to be and they manipulate you and going to be and they manipulate you and the rest of their customers down to like the rest of their customers down to like the rest of their customers down to like an amazing science in order to get the an amazing science in order to get the an amazing science in order to get the most amount of dollars from you. most amount of dollars from you. most amount of dollars from you. >> Right? One gambling consultant told the >> Right? One gambling consultant told the >> Right? One gambling consultant told the economist, "By the time a customer economist, "By the time a customer economist, "By the time a customer places his first bet, first bet on the places his first bet, first bet on the places his first bet, first bet on the sports book, they are 80 to 90% certain sports book, they are 80 to 90% certain sports book, they are 80 to 90% certain they know the lifetime value. They know they know the lifetime value. They know they know the lifetime value. They know how big of a sucker you are from the how big of a sucker you are from the how big of a sucker you are from the first bet. And they mathematically first bet. And they mathematically first bet. And they mathematically monitor players, create new risk score monitor players, create new risk score monitor players, create new risk score every 6 to 8 hours. Basically, they're every 6 to 8 hours. Basically, they're every 6 to 8 hours. Basically, they're trying to figure out is this customer trying to figure out is this customer trying to figure out is this customer going to become profitable on us? How do going to become profitable on us? How do going to become profitable on us? How do we monitor keep the keep the profitable we monitor keep the keep the profitable we monitor keep the keep the profitable players out, keep the unprofitable players out, keep the unprofitable players out, keep the unprofitable players in?" And okay, so what what else players in?" And okay, so what what else players in?" And okay, so what what else is interesting about this? There was new is interesting about this? There was new is interesting about this? There was new data about um like Kali and Poly Market. data about um like Kali and Poly Market. data about um like Kali and Poly Market. >> How are those two different by the way? >> How are those two different by the way? >> How are those two different by the way? >> So they're both in the same category, >> So they're both in the same category, >> So they're both in the same category, prediction markets, right? prediction prediction markets, right? prediction prediction markets, right? prediction market basically just says you're able market basically just says you're able market basically just says you're able to wager what you think the outcome of to wager what you think the outcome of to wager what you think the outcome of an event is and they're markets meaning an event is and they're markets meaning an event is and they're markets meaning unlike a sports book where there's a unlike a sports book where there's a unlike a sports book where there's a house that defines the rules of sorry house that defines the rules of sorry house that defines the rules of sorry defines the odds the way a market works defines the odds the way a market works defines the odds the way a market works is the question is posed and then you is the question is posed and then you is the question is posed and then you take the yes or no side and based on the take the yes or no side and based on the take the yes or no side and based on the volume of dollars that go into the yes volume of dollars that go into the yes volume of dollars that go into the yes or no side you're basically competing in or no side you're basically competing in or no side you're basically competing in a free market against each other and a free market against each other and a free market against each other and there's been some incredible things that there's been some incredible things that there's been some incredible things that have come from this right like um it is have come from this right like um it is have come from this right like um it is more accurate than the news, right? So, more accurate than the news, right? So, more accurate than the news, right? So, a lot of people go to the news to try to a lot of people go to the news to try to a lot of people go to the news to try to get a sense of what's happening or get a sense of what's happening or get a sense of what's happening or what's going to happen, but the news is what's going to happen, but the news is what's going to happen, but the news is far less accurate than just going and far less accurate than just going and far less accurate than just going and looking at with skin in the game what looking at with skin in the game what looking at with skin in the game what the poly market says of what is actually the poly market says of what is actually the poly market says of what is actually going to happen. Um, what are the odds going to happen. Um, what are the odds going to happen. Um, what are the odds say is going to happen and the odds say is going to happen and the odds say is going to happen and the odds change in real time as new information change in real time as new information change in real time as new information goes in. And so, you here you know, goes in. And so, you here you know, goes in. And so, you here you know, let's just take the incentives as an let's just take the incentives as an let's just take the incentives as an example. the incentives of a journalist example. the incentives of a journalist example. the incentives of a journalist who's writing for the New York Times or who's writing for the New York Times or who's writing for the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, these extremely the Wall Street Journal, these extremely the Wall Street Journal, these extremely prestigious, you know, supposed truth prestigious, you know, supposed truth prestigious, you know, supposed truth seeeking uh uh platforms.

Well, their incentive is how do I get as many clicks incentive is how do I get as many clicks incentive is how do I get as many clicks as possible on this headline? Um how do as possible on this headline? Um how do as possible on this headline? Um how do I make sure that nobody unsubscribes I make sure that nobody unsubscribes I make sure that nobody unsubscribes because I said something that they don't because I said something that they don't because I said something that they don't like, right? Uh that they canceled their like, right? Uh that they canceled their like, right? Uh that they canceled their their subscription because I told them their subscription because I told them their subscription because I told them an unpopular truth. And so those that an unpopular truth. And so those that an unpopular truth. And so those that you know fundamentally my incentive loop you know fundamentally my incentive loop you know fundamentally my incentive loop is that now you take the incentives of is that now you take the incentives of is that now you take the incentives of poly market. Somebody who's betting yes poly market. Somebody who's betting yes poly market. Somebody who's betting yes is saying I'm gonna I'm gonna win or is saying I'm gonna I'm gonna win or is saying I'm gonna I'm gonna win or lose money by being right or wrong. And lose money by being right or wrong. And lose money by being right or wrong. And so you know and the high the more so you know and the high the more so you know and the high the more conviction I have the more money I would conviction I have the more money I would conviction I have the more money I would place on this wager. And the conviction place on this wager. And the conviction place on this wager. And the conviction if I'm taking if I have conviction based if I'm taking if I have conviction based if I'm taking if I have conviction based on you know gut and superstition over on you know gut and superstition over on you know gut and superstition over time I'm going to lose all my money. time I'm going to lose all my money. time I'm going to lose all my money. I'll be out of the market. But if I have I'll be out of the market. But if I have I'll be out of the market. But if I have conviction based off of research or conviction based off of research or conviction based off of research or insider information or you know um uh insider information or you know um uh insider information or you know um uh in-depth analysis, I will make money and in-depth analysis, I will make money and in-depth analysis, I will make money and I'll have more capital to bring to this I'll have more capital to bring to this I'll have more capital to bring to this market over time. So that's what that's market over time. So that's what that's market over time. So that's what that's the category. Okay. Now what's the category. Okay. Now what's the category. Okay. Now what's interesting, they're now doing over two interesting, they're now doing over two interesting, they're now doing over two billion a week in just sports betting billion a week in just sports betting billion a week in just sports betting volume. volume. volume. >> Poly market >> Poly market >> Poly market >> the common both of them um both of them >> the common both of them um both of them >> the common both of them um both of them together. together. together. >> And what percentage of the revenue do >> And what percentage of the revenue do >> And what percentage of the revenue do they get? They're taking I don't know they get? They're taking I don't know they get? They're taking I don't know it's less than like a it's like a point it's less than like a it's like a point it's less than like a it's like a point point whatever percent 0.12 I don't know point whatever percent 0.12 I don't know point whatever percent 0.12 I don't know what it is some very very small vig that what it is some very very small vig that what it is some very very small vig that they take um on on the transaction they take um on on the transaction they take um on on the transaction >> and how much are they doing in a week >> and how much are they doing in a week >> and how much are they doing in a week >> two billion on just sports and so like >> two billion on just sports and so like >> two billion on just sports and so like what's happened is that these things what's happened is that these things what's happened is that these things started where they were doing you know started where they were doing you know started where they were doing you know like who's going to win the election and like who's going to win the election and like who's going to win the election and are we going to end up in a war in are we going to end up in a war in are we going to end up in a war in Ukraine and that those were very Ukraine and that those were very Ukraine and that those were very likeformational likeformational likeformational things in order to inform like you know things in order to inform like you know things in order to inform like you know it's in some ways it's a it's a signal it's in some ways it's a it's a signal it's in some ways it's a it's a signal or a hedge against uh you know your or a hedge against uh you know your or a hedge against uh you know your maybe a stock market performance or maybe a stock market performance or maybe a stock market performance or whatnot. But sports betting is just so whatnot. But sports betting is just so whatnot. But sports betting is just so popular that like as a percentage share popular that like as a percentage share popular that like as a percentage share of action, it's just taking over these of action, it's just taking over these of action, it's just taking over these platforms and they're essentially platforms and they're essentially platforms and they're essentially becoming sports betting apps that are becoming sports betting apps that are becoming sports betting apps that are just like in this like loophole of just like in this like loophole of just like in this like loophole of regulation where you can't make you regulation where you can't make you regulation where you can't make you can't do sports betting, but you can do can't do sports betting, but you can do can't do sports betting, but you can do prediction markets about sports. prediction markets about sports. prediction markets about sports. >> And this is uh legal in all 50 states. >> And this is uh legal in all 50 states. >> And this is uh legal in all 50 states. >> Yeah.

I don't even know how they're doing it exactly, even know how they're doing it exactly, even know how they're doing it exactly, but it's definitely something that they but it's definitely something that they but it's definitely something that they love to do and that they're doing a lot love to do and that they're doing a lot love to do and that they're doing a lot of. And the the problem is it's one of. And the the problem is it's one of. And the the problem is it's one sports betting and I take it this take sports betting and I take it this take sports betting and I take it this take this as somebody who's wasted far too this as somebody who's wasted far too this as somebody who's wasted far too much of their life gambling whether it's much of their life gambling whether it's much of their life gambling whether it's poker or sports betting. Sports betting poker or sports betting. Sports betting poker or sports betting. Sports betting is one of these things that it's dumb to is one of these things that it's dumb to is one of these things that it's dumb to do but it's easy to look smart. So like do but it's easy to look smart. So like do but it's easy to look smart. So like it's a dumb activity to do but if you it's a dumb activity to do but if you it's a dumb activity to do but if you cherry pick a good bet you can share it, cherry pick a good bet you can share it, cherry pick a good bet you can share it, you can tell people about it and you get you can tell people about it and you get you can tell people about it and you get to look smart for a moment. And like the to look smart for a moment. And like the to look smart for a moment. And like the real gains in life come from things that real gains in life come from things that real gains in life come from things that look dumb to do but are actually smart look dumb to do but are actually smart look dumb to do but are actually smart to do. Those are like that's where all to do. Those are like that's where all to do. Those are like that's where all the real alpha of life is. And of course the real alpha of life is. And of course the real alpha of life is. And of course there's the obvious things, things that there's the obvious things, things that there's the obvious things, things that are smart to do that look smart to do. are smart to do that look smart to do. are smart to do that look smart to do. And you should do those too. That's like And you should do those too. That's like And you should do those too. That's like you know the sort of highly competitive you know the sort of highly competitive you know the sort of highly competitive things that that people do like going to things that that people do like going to things that that people do like going to college or you know like trying to get a college or you know like trying to get a college or you know like trying to get a good job right like sounds smart is good job right like sounds smart is good job right like sounds smart is smart and then you know and so I think smart and then you know and so I think smart and then you know and so I think that the problem is sports betting falls that the problem is sports betting falls that the problem is sports betting falls in this one. It's obviously super in this one. It's obviously super in this one. It's obviously super addictive. Obviously, there's going to addictive. Obviously, there's going to addictive.
