[00:28:01] S1: And I just wanted to give a round of applause. That's great. Super super herbal. [00:28:07] S0: I have a new chapter coming next year. I'll be working in finance. I already signed to work in wealth management in a Swiss company. My next chapter is looking more in an office and working in finance. I I know some I know some former pro athletes who have gone into wealth management and it's a it's a fantastic fit. They've had fantastic careers. It makes a lot of sense. You can go play golf and tennis with your clients and you meet a lot of interesting people while you're on tour. It's a it can be a very very good fit, especially if you have the passion for it even before you wound your career down. But Major partnership news. Huge partnership [00:28:43] S1: Sam has partnered with Jim Riley at what is it? Carolina AI. AI. Charleston Let's pull up this video. [00:28:54] S0: Partners with Monaco. Let's watch it. [00:28:56] S1: This is big. [00:28:58] S0: As you know, I'm Jim Riley, cofounder of I do know. AI's come to to Charleston. It's already here. [00:29:08] S1: AI is coming to Charleston. It's already here. [00:29:09] S0: Partnering with Monaco, we can bring AI to all of South Carolina, which is what I wanna do. I really wanna bring AI to everybody in South Carolina. And with their help, their program, their AI, we can do that. So if you're a founder and you need assistance and want help identifying potential customers, people that will use your product, Monaco is the way to go. Just like how I'm [00:29:35] S3: using them.
00:29:35 · Hunter Somerville, John Coogan, Jordi Hays
[00:29:35] S3: using them. [00:29:37] S0: This is awesome. Talk about moving quickly because if this video went up even one week from now, it could be like, oh, eye roll. Like, we've we've seen a couple of this guy's video. Yeah. The the memes that this is so fast. Really great execution. Timing's everything with these things. Very funny. Congrats to Monaco and Sam Blonde on just a just a fun moment. And I mean, like unironically, he seems like someone who is a great evangelist who's going to actually aid in AI diffusion. And There's no [00:30:11] S1: clip of [00:30:11] S0: It is a [00:30:12] S1: there's zero clips of Jim Reilly talking about AI doom. Yeah. And that we know of. [00:30:19] S0: Don't ask what There [00:30:20] S1: could have been a podcast in [00:30:22] S0: 2018. Don't look him up unless wrong. He might be on there. Who knows? He might have been in a Bay Area group home. You don't know that yet. But hopefully, he was just a normal businessman. [00:30:33] S1: Yeah. He may have read possibly read the basilisk and realized he needed to Oh,
00:30:33 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:30:33] S1: Yeah. He may have read possibly read the basilisk and realized he needed to Oh, [00:30:39] S0: This is all an elaborate Rocco's basilisk gambit trying to trying to please the future AI gods. Well, NVIDIA has released AI god mode for gamers. It's called DLSS five. They've been working on this technology for a while. Deep learning super sampling. It takes the current game resolution, up ress it using AI. Some people hate it. It's very controversial. I think it looks great. Let us know what you think. Watch this video of Kingdom Come two. This is being rendered in a game engine and then passed through DLSS five to make it more photorealistic. [00:31:22] S1: Changes everything. [00:31:23] S0: Okay. Yeah. Truly, it does still look like a video game to me. But that's not entirely the the point with this. It's just to get to get you just one little notch up. It's not it doesn't actually feel fully like a movie, but I don't know. I thought it was good. I'm excited for this. Should Kettle and Fire acquire Campbell's Soup? That's what everyone's asking. [00:31:49] S1: A 100%, yes. [00:31:51] S0: Yes. [00:31:51] S1: I I actually have fond memories of Campbell's Soup. Yes. As as a kid, I would go surfing [00:31:59] S0: Mhmm. [00:32:00] S1: And then I'd be really cold, which has created some controversy Mhmm. Online. We had an Instagram reel, went viral. [00:32:07] S0: That's right. [00:32:07] S1: I was saying that Yeah. At least in cold waters, Northern California, not not wasn't great for me to surf before needing to be productive. [00:32:15] S0: Yeah.
00:32:15 · John Coogan, Jordi Hays
[00:32:15] S0: Yeah. [00:32:15] S1: That pissed a lot of people off. [00:32:16] S0: It did. [00:32:17] S1: But I would come home and I would have some Campbell's Mhmm. Campbell soup. It was fantastic. But you can imagine that the quality of the product was actually probably pretty bad back then. [00:32:27] S0: Mhmm. [00:32:28] S1: And I'm I would assume that it's gotten far worse. [00:32:30] S0: Mhmm. [00:32:31] S1: And so if we could get Justin in there to fix it up, get it back on track, I'd love to see that. [00:32:36] S0: I I I think it'd be very interesting. And it does not seem out of the realm of possibility at all. Justin's a fantastic entrepreneur, fantastic investor. Yes. Campbell Soup is a larger company. Market cap in the in the single digit billions, I believe. Campbell's [00:32:55] S1: 6,400,000,000. [00:32:56] S0: Yeah. But you get the right investors around the table. Obviously, it's a it's a very old company On lot of debt. [00:33:02] S1: 9,000,000,000 of sales. [00:33:05] S0: He's within striking distance there. I think he might be creeping up on them. One [00:33:12] S1: One broth container at a Yeah. [00:33:15] S0: Broth [00:33:15] S1: container. Box of broth at a time.
00:33:15 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:33:15] S1: container. Box of broth at a time. [00:33:16] S0: One box at a time. Ryan Peterson has a But we've been saying this for a long time that like that like when when when a large legacy company is has has done the the McKinsey consultant as CEO and they've done the the suit and they've done the okay. We hired the person who is internal and climbed the management ranks. It is interesting to try and put a founder of a smaller company just in the top job and say, go founder mode, try something new. But there's still not that much appetite for it. So what are you thinking? [00:33:52] S1: Ken Wattana says, why are all the a sixteen z partners tweeting about karmic retribution today? Yes. I saw a post from Alex Rampell saying karma is a swear word. Ryan Peterson has a pretty thought provoking theory. He says, conspiracy theory, I choose to believe that Marc Andreessen was funding Pablo Torre's Steve Ballmer investigation to get back at him for Internet Explorer. The ultimate punishment, banned from your own arena. [00:34:21] S0: That's a funny That's a funny karma moment. [00:34:25] S1: Yeah. Pablo Torre dropped a new investigation [00:34:28] S0: Mhmm.
00:34:28 · John Coogan, Jordi Hays
[00:34:28] S0: Mhmm. [00:34:29] S1: Into the Dodgers this morning. Mhmm. I was listening to it on the way into work, it is fantastic. He is one of the greatest podcast one of the greatest living podcasters, which pretty much includes almost all podcasters ever. Yeah. But really, really crazy story. Mark Walter, you know, setting up and Magic Johnson is involved in quite a big in in quite a big way. So highly recommend going and and checking out that story. [00:35:00] S0: Yeah. I'm excited for that to develop. Again, yeah. I mean, with any of these allegations, it'll probably take a year of investigation to get the actual results. But get ready to learn about insurance because the untangling a lot of these different organizations is very, very difficult. But it can be really interesting. What's Ryan Harmon working on these days? Before that [00:35:25] S1: Okay. We don't have to pull up this image, but has Burning Man fallen off? [00:35:30] S0: I have no idea. I think they had a rough go after the I've never been. I I think they had a rough go after the, the muddy one. There was one where it rained like crazy, and it was really, really muddy. And I think everyone was like, that was a lot. I don't know if I'm going back next year. And then also COVID might have switched things up for a little bit. I think they might have skipped one. So a couple different moments of like, okay. A lot of like like washing out certain people, but then also [00:36:02] S1: Yeah. It seems like it seems like it's it doesn't necessarily have a massive inflow of [00:36:07] S0: Mhmm.
