[00:16:53] S1: Videos where you show the Lamborghini in the heads in the head... Yeah. Yeah. Stitching. Yeah. [00:17:00] S0: Exactly. Okay. Okay. Exactly. Exactly. Really strong start. Really great use of space in the appearance. Second thought, you know, he's immediately... Apparently, in in their household, they're calling it the the Grock Bot. They've rebranded Grock Bot to Trad Trad Bot. [00:17:14] S1: Trad White Bot. Yeah. [00:17:16] S0: Trad Trad Bot. [00:17:17] S1: Yeah. So Stunlock's the anchor [00:17:18] S0: with that. Super... You know, and we know Joe's contrarian. Right? One of the ultimate contrarians. [00:17:23] S1: Yeah. [00:17:23] S0: Right? But going to Grock for parenting advice is probably the most... There's a lot of things that you could go to it for, but going to it for parenting advice is the ultimate contrarian move. Knowing what sort of hides in the weights. Right? Knowing the thing that has emerged at times [00:17:43] S1: Yes. [00:17:44] S0: And could emerge at any moment. [00:17:45] S1: Any moment. [00:17:47] S0: Is maybe... May or may not be fully solved. [00:17:49] S1: Sure. [00:17:49] S0: Sure. So knowing that all things all things considered [00:17:53] S1: k. [00:17:53] S0: Very contrarian, but it makes me... Knowing how often he's been contrarian and right, which has led to extreme investment results makes me way more tempted to start going to Grok for parenting. [00:18:04] S1: You might be looking at the next great parenting product. Exactly. [00:18:07] S0: And maybe maybe maybe there's an opportunity here to reposition Grok around.
00:18:07 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan, Tyler
[00:18:07] S0: And maybe maybe maybe there's an opportunity here to reposition Grok around. [00:18:11] S1: Maybe that's the key to product market fit in that Totally. [00:18:13] S0: Totally. Totally. So he's running TradBot Okay. In the home for parent, you know, just general household management, parenting advice. Think that makes, know... Again, it's contrarian, I'm gonna give it a shot now. [00:18:27] S1: Yeah. [00:18:28] S0: Next up, language selection. We gotta talk about language selection. He talks about, you know, clearly one of their kids is using a binky. They wanna get them off the binky. It's like a little addiction. Been there as a parent. But word selection, right? Deprecate the bank. Really, really good word selection, especially with this audience. This audience is an audience of capital allocators. And this audience knows, deprecate the binky. It just... It clicks almost instantly. [00:18:58] S1: Immediately. [00:18:58] S0: Yeah. So all in all, seventeen seconds on this video, one of the best performances we've seen Incredible. Of any CNBC hit in years. [00:19:08] S1: Also, I mean, the outfit. Potentially, it looks like he's rocking the Trump skin. [00:19:13] S0: Totally. He's rocking the Fortnite Trump skin. Totally. Fortnite Trump skin. [00:19:17] S1: Also, to be wearing that on a travel day. [00:19:19] S0: On in the PJ travel day. [00:19:21] S1: Travel day. You could be in athleisure. Now he puts on the elite ultra rare skin. Yeah. That's a rare drop. [00:19:28] S0: And that's what I'm saying. That's what [00:19:29] S2: I'm saying. One of one
00:19:29 · Tyler, Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:19:29] S2: I'm saying. One of one [00:19:30] S0: of CNBC appear appear One [00:19:32] S1: of one. [00:19:32] S0: Going down as potentially the top seventeen seconds of the year. [00:19:36] S1: Yeah. It's up there with the carps with the carp book spin, I would say. [00:19:41] S0: No. But that was last year. [00:19:42] S1: That was last year. Yeah. So [00:19:43] S0: so And so I don't know Hall of [00:19:44] S1: Fame. [00:19:45] S0: What other 17 are you gonna pull out of CNBC this year that that that sort of [00:19:51] S1: That might be it. [00:19:51] S0: Could match this. [00:19:52] S1: This might be [00:19:52] S0: it. And of course, there's around sixty business days Yeah. Left, something like that. Yeah. But I mean, really uphill battle for anyone uphill battle for anyone else that's coming in. [00:20:04] S1: 100%. 100%. [00:20:06] S0: Yeah. The chat's saying, just needs McDonald's and a Diet Coke. So if he really wanted to to like get into that sort of like Donald mentality, he should have taken a bite or Yeah. At least a sip or overall, round of applause. Fantastic. [00:20:21] S1: Yeah. Fantastic experience. Yeah. Really elite performance. Not [00:20:25] S0: gonna be... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I don't think it'll be topped. [00:20:28] S1: I don't think it'll be topped. No. No. This is is s tier performance. [00:20:31] S0: S tier. [00:20:32] S1: Of course. S tier performance. [00:20:34] S0: Well done. [00:20:35] S1: A good laugh for everyone on the timeline.
00:20:35 · John Coogan, Jordi Hays, Joe Lonsdale, Tyler
[00:20:35] S1: A good laugh for everyone on the timeline. [00:20:38] S0: Should we head over to one of Joe's portfolio founders? Sure. Friend of the show, Scott Wu. What'd he say? Scott Wu was doing some math. Yes. [00:20:48] S6: The national thing, obviously, that got too easy is then you take eight cards and you make the current year. And this year is now 2025. And so we get to try that one. And in this case, it's actually quite quite easy because 13 minus 12 is one, 11 minus 10 is one, one plus one plus seven is nine. And it turns out that nine times nine times five times five is exactly 20 times five. Okay. Well, that's that's okay. So at some point, gets too easy. [00:21:13] S1: Do you think he [00:21:13] S0: has to [00:21:14] S1: practice this? Because I know he's been elite at mental math and these... Like, all these different types of math challenges from when he was a kid. But, like, this can't come up on a daily basis in his job as CEO of Cognition. Right? Or does it? [00:21:29] S0: I think you should do it with potential hires. [00:21:31] S1: Okay. [00:21:32] S0: It's like, hey, let's go. Let's talk for a couple hours and then let's block off thirty minutes for math tricks. [00:21:37] S1: Yeah. I mean, he has that story about playing... What was it? High stakes poker for term sheet with Founders Fund? [00:21:45] S2: Yeah. Yeah. He was playing, I think, poker against Napoleon. [00:21:47] S0: Napoleon. Chess versus Peter. [00:21:49] S1: Yeah. Okay. Was the one [00:21:49] S2: he he wanted to do.
00:21:49 · Tyler, John Coogan, Jordi Hays, Ben Lamm
[00:21:49] S2: he he wanted to do. [00:21:50] S1: Okay. But, yeah, I mean, you pull that trick out with a with, like, a mid tier VC who's trying to cram into a later round. Like, it's a it's game over. You get whatever price you want. [00:22:00] S2: Think this is a learned skill. [00:22:01] S1: You think so? Yeah. Okay. Learn it. Alright. Okay. I wanna see. [00:22:05] S2: Alright. In a month, [00:22:06] S0: I I'll... I think I [00:22:06] S8: can do [00:22:07] S2: this on this channel. [00:22:08] S1: We've given you so many challenges. It's like learn the drums. Prestige at cost. [00:22:14] S0: Skydive without a parachute. [00:22:17] S1: That one's doable with a net. Right? Didn't they... No. [00:22:19] S0: You gotta do the Pastrana method. [00:22:21] S1: What's the Pastrana? [00:22:21] S0: Other people... [00:22:22] S1: Oh, other people get you. Okay. Okay. I like that. I like that. Yeah. Very, very fun. It's it's sort of a magic trick, I guess. I mean, it is a learned skill, I suppose, but it's... I I feel like more founders should have, like, a trick up their sleeve like that. I feel like something, that... To get people going, you know, to to to break it up. It's not just rehearsing the same talking point, something to remix. Party tricks. Everybody can do the Rubik's cube, so that one's kinda... But not everyone can do the the eight by eight Rubik's cube that you appear to have been very close at and failed somehow. What happened? [00:23:00] S2: This is a a special pattern I I made.
00:23:00 · Tyler, John Coogan, Jordi Hays
[00:23:00] S2: This is a a special pattern I I made. [00:23:02] S1: It seems like you were very close and yet so far. That looks like a failure. Oh, now... [00:23:07] S0: Let's head over to the Knicks. [00:23:09] S1: Okay. [00:23:10] S0: And let's check-in with the Knicks. [00:23:11] S1: What's going on with the Knicks? [00:23:12] S0: The Knicks assistants were told they would receive championship rings eventually. But many long time employees at Madison Square Garden, including some who work in the Knicks business operations, will not receive rings at all, team sources told The Atlantic. Typically, most employees for NBA teams receive rings even if they are not as fancy and expensive as the ones the players receive. Those MSG employees got their hopes up at the end of September when the Knicks sent an email to a long list of employees which gave recipients a first glimpse at their would be championship rings. Atop the email, a copy of which The Athletic has obtained, was a graphic of two differently styled rings. Congratulations, your employee championship ring is here, the email read. Employee name, this is one, this one is on the house. MSG is issuing a complimentary employee... [00:24:01] S1: I saw this and I didn't understand the full context. Now I get it.
