[00:45:31] S0: you're gonna inadvertently have a sword collection because people will give them to gifts. [00:45:35] S2: I have them as gifts. Zero at the moment. But, like, we'll see. It's good thing. And so anyways, like, that one clip, like, just took off, became a meme. I think that one has, like, 4.3, whatever, over 4,000,000 views, but that video and like that presence alone has easily 50,000,000 plus views. In that amount of time had completely gone all over the internet. Like we'd seen it in like, you know, things every, all over the place. Like someone uses it in like their trailer for whatever, just it's just like an iconic Silicon Yeah. Valley It's incredible. It's crazy. So, that was awesome. Wait, I love that. [00:46:21] S0: I'm trying to think about how to pose this question. Because it was funny. I was watching the clip of Jack Altman. I should have texted him before this, but to ask him about a question for you. But that was your first time discovering that Jack and Sam Altman were brothers. Was it was it? Oh my god. [00:46:42] S2: Was it a bit? [00:46:44] S0: Paige. Was it a bit? [00:46:53] S2: We will leave that one unanswered. It's a bit. [00:46:58] S0: So maybe, like,
00:46:58 · Paige Finn Doherty, Molly O'Shea
[00:46:58] S0: So maybe, like, [00:47:04] S2: okay. So for context, I interviewed Jack Altman and this was like another thing that ended up becoming a meme and went viral, but I interviewed Jack Altman and, you know, it was about his podcast uncapped, which is phenomenal. It has like incredible guests. Yeah. Like really like was one of the first, like major kind of like breaks on X for this category with that stuff too. And, so I, I wanted to interview him on it as well. And, and so that was like the basis of the interview and. Yo, this like ended up becoming a meme, but one of the guests that he interviewed, I asked him, so you recently interviewed Sam Altman. Were you nervous? And he goes, no. [00:47:56] S0: Why would I be nervous? [00:47:57] S2: Why would I be nervous? I'm like, I don't know. He goes, that's my that's my brother. Like, Altman, Sam Altman. I go, you're brothers? And, like, like... And he's like, yeah. And I was like, so you've known each other for a long time. And he's like, yes. Please keep this in. Keep this in. Like, this is great. Don't cut this out of the podcast. [00:48:21] S0: It was iconic. I I really... That... It was, like, one of my favorite moments. But the whole thing is, like, [00:48:28] S2: I have a I have I have a very large sense of humor. Yeah. Like, all the... Like, if I'm not working, like, I'm watching funny clips and laughing to myself. Yeah. Like, you can ask me. Wait, who are some [00:48:40] S0: of your favorite, like, do you have favorite comedians?
00:48:40 · Paige Finn Doherty, Molly O'Shea
[00:48:40] S0: of your favorite, like, do you have favorite comedians? [00:48:42] S2: I love Will Ferrell. Oh, okay. I love Will Ferrell. He's amazing. Is there gonna [00:48:48] S0: be a... He's on my list. He's on your list. So Will Ferrell, please. [00:48:52] S2: Will Ferrell. Would like to When it happens, we're [00:48:56] S0: gonna like roll the tape back and be like... [00:48:58] S2: I might have to do one with Jack Altman, can I guess? Yes, yes, yes. [00:49:03] S0: Well, gotta get the Between ferns, [00:49:05] S2: two ferns. Yeah. I mean, this is not a fern, but we got a hedge here. [00:49:07] S0: We got a hedge. And some grass. Yeah. I like that. You do have a great sense of humor. [00:49:13] S2: Yeah. So anyways, I have a dry sense of humor and like, this was even a problem when I worked different funds, right? It's like I would deliver things with a straight face. And so I've been working on the whole smiling thing. I've been getting better at it. Whole, my whole life, like why aren't you, you should smile more. You know, like the whole thing is like, girls should smile. I just wouldn't smile. I just wasn't a smiler. And so now I'm getting better at smiling and now I'm getting wrinkles from it, which sucks. But, so, so yeah, I delivered that with great poise and no one knows. It was still incredible. [00:49:48] S0: Still to this day. It's a mystery. We speaking of mystery, do you
00:49:48 · Paige Finn Doherty, Molly O'Shea
[00:49:48] S0: Still to this day. It's a mystery. We speaking of mystery, do you [00:49:54] S2: have an upcoming list coming out? So I do have a list coming out and I could show it to you before the end or whenever this comes out. I hopefully this comes out in time because I want to put the list out this Friday or as soon as possible, maybe even tomorrow. Hard to compete with the anthropic guest one that just dropped today. The same day as another episode I put out, which kind of sucks, but we'll make sure it goes well. And, but yeah, I want to get that list out as fast as possible because it's like, you know, it's been the most helpful resource to me. You asked like how many of the people have I interviewed and I interviewed probably over 20% of it. Wow. I put out [00:50:32] S0: a list. Really incredible. It was like dream. [00:50:34] S2: Dream guest. List of the top 100, like also most hard to reach. Totally. Powerful people in technology and finance. And I got 20%. That's crazy. I just got on it in like a month of putting that out there. So like, so it's great. So I definitely, I want to make this like an annual thing. I like, even for that one, I had taken off of some of the people that I had on it because a 100 people gets short really quick. And even with this one, was like, damn, am I gonna have to make it like a 150, but you just got it. It's all about cutting it down, reducing, making it, you know, concise. So we'll have that out soon.

So we'll have that out soon. [00:51:18] S0: I'm really excited for them. So do you exclusively choose your own guests then? Or do people like pitch you and then what is like [00:51:30] S2: the breakdown of them? Good question. So this is, art and a science. It's incredibly difficult. I, of course, like, you asked me before, like, will I start a fund? Will I do all this other stuff? It's like, I still need to perfect this, like, only because the podcast and everything, we do really great numbers. We do hundreds of millions of impressions a year and views, like even the like hundreds and hundreds of millions, like we have so much reach. We have, like, we have become a name and it's like a thing. You are [00:52:05] S0: one of tech's top podcasters. Yes, I am.
00:52:05 · Paige Finn Doherty, Molly O'Shea
[00:52:05] S0: one of tech's top podcasters. Yes, I am. [00:52:09] S2: I'm so happy to be here. Being you. And, and so, and like, because of that, I just, it's still not to me like there yet. Job's not done. Job's not done. I don't know if I can say that because it's like a, you know, competitor thing, but job's not done yet. You're right. We could say it's fine. And, and so my, my kind of like, am I saying focus question at the end of the day, I'm looking at interviews that I'm doing that I'm scheduling them, that I'm rearranging them, I have to rearrange things [00:52:45] S0: every week. Oh yeah, I bet.
