Chapter 1: What happened behind the scenes at the White House?

00:00 - 00:06 Chamath Palihapitiya

Freeberg had this great story. There's a machine there. I've never seen this machine in my life, but he knew the machine. There's a machine.

0

00:06 - 00:07 David Sacks

It's the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine.

0

00:08 - 00:15 Chamath Palihapitiya

There's a machine that's right by the Navy mess where we had lunch in the Situation Room, which dispenses literally—I've never seen this before—

0

00:16 - 00:17 Jason Calacanis

This is how out of touch you are.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Chamath Palihapitiya

This is in every 7-Eleven, every movie theater, every McDonald's.

00:00 - 00:00 Cyan Banister

Every movie theater. It's everywhere. This is everywhere. You have not left.

00:00 - 00:00 Chamath Palihapitiya

I was blown away by this machine. All the Coca-Colas, all of the Gatorades.

00:00 - 00:00 David Sacks

$399.

00:00 - 00:00 Chamath Palihapitiya

How much? Yeah, $399.

Chapter 2: How did the Besties experience the White House visit?

13:52 - 13:56 David Sacks

By the way, you want to know something? They didn't do it on the veggie burger. What does that say?

0

13:56 - 14:11 Chamath Palihapitiya

They're sending you a message. By the way, what's incredible about the narrowness and the smallness, there's just a door that does not look all that assuming. It's very unassuming. And there's just a small sign that says, Situation Room.

0

14:12 - 14:31 David Sacks

Right. There's a little corridor off of the West Wing lobby, which, by the way, like you said, if you're hanging out in the West Wing lobby, you're going to run into all sorts of interesting people. But you go down this little passageway. It's so small. The header of the door is so small that Sri Ram, you know, does AI policy. He's 6'6".

0

14:31 - 14:39 David Sacks

He almost concussed himself once because he hit his head at the top of the door. I think the door frame is about 6'2", is the clearance. Maybe.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Jason Calacanis

Well, it was made over 100 years ago.

00:00 - 00:00 David Sacks

He literally has to duck his head every time he walks by. But in any event, if you walk to the end of that passageway, There's a little kiosk to get a coffee or you turn the other way and you're in the situation room. I mean, it's really.

00:00 - 00:00 Jason Calacanis

You could be whacking a terrorist from 4,000 miles away or you can get a mocha. You could do both. Why choose? Cyan, you have a question. What do you think? If you're taking all this in.

00:00 - 00:00 Cyan Banister

Yeah, I want to know from David what his favorite piece of art is there and whether or not David and Chamath saw the Declaration of Independence.

00:00 - 00:00 David Sacks

Yeah, actually, yeah. Well, go ahead, Jamal.
