Chapter 1: Who is Mark Zuckerberg and what did he achieve?
I'm thankful to spend time and get to know Mr. Mark Zuckerberg. Shout! You drink coffee, man, or no?
Nah.
Really? Yeah.
I mean, you've had it. I have. Sometimes on vacation, I'll drink it recreationally. It's like every once in a while.
Just like a, yeah, it's like a, like a celebration.
Yeah, no, I just like hate anything that messes with, like, I don't, I don't like any kind of chemicals or anything like that.
Oh, really? So you just like to keep everything, the equilibrium? Yeah.
My sister gives me such a hard time about this. She's like, you're just sitting there raw dogging reality. Wow.
It's kind of true. Like, so you, but have you, you've had it before? Yeah. But you just don't like it? Yeah, I don't. So when you get up in the morning, that's not your thing? Like, is there something you do?

Chapter 2: What does Mark Zuckerberg think about coffee?
Okay. And where were you in school at, Mark? Harvard. Okay.
And so I was a sophomore. She was a freshman. My friends were convinced I was about to get kicked out of school. I was going in front of this trial for the school discipline committee. My friends threw a going away party for me. And it was in the bathroom line at the end of the party. Um, where I was just like next to Priscilla and we were talking.
You had nothing to lose. It was your last meal.
I was just like, look, man, like it's, you know, have pregnancy, man. But it's, um, it was not, not very romantic situation. It's like, we're waiting in line for the bathroom. She's just funny. She, she, she's cute. And it's like, I was like, all right, Hey, you know,
If we're going to go out, we better go do this quickly because I'm probably going to get kicked out of school in like two or three days. It's like, that's a good pickup line, right? It's like, yeah, that's how you really show that you have potential in the world, right?
Well, it's a limited time offer.
Yeah, but it's not like very aspirational. It's like, hey, it's like I'm going nowhere in life and I'm about to get kicked out of school. So you're going to want to, you know, you're going to want to go out with me really quickly. Right.
It's like, yeah, I guess another way to look at it is very sail rack in a way, you know.
Very sail rack. Yeah. So, but I mean, but everyone I knew thought that this whole thing was over. I mean, my parents... Drove up. We lived in New York. They drove up to help me pack up my dorm room because they were like, it's over. You're coming home. Yeah. But it didn't. Then, of course, I made Facebook. And a few months later, I dropped out anyway. So jokes on them.

Chapter 3: How does Mark Zuckerberg start his mornings?
What were they doing? Probably just waiting to pick people up.
But they'd have to do it in a group behind an Ikea? Yeah, I don't know.
That does seem like an unlikely place to pick people up.
That's true. I'm not going to defend them. Okay, okay, okay. It just seemed like an interesting place to meet up, you know? Yeah, and then I was in one way mode, and it was like, do you want to gamble? What? I think it was sponsored by DraftKings or something, and it was like, do you want to gamble with me? Yeah. I was like, it's like, I bet you $40. You'll never get where you're going.
And it was like, this is, this seems as the doors lock. It's like picks up speed. Yeah. And why are all the Waymos white too? I'm like, this is, I don't know. I just think we got to start to diversify the portfolio. I feel like a little, you know? Yeah. But what do I know? You, so let me switch topics. Sorry. Sometimes I get a little bit nervous. Is that all right?
Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, there's no way that you're less nervous than me.
Let me think about how you said that.

Chapter 4: What is Mark Zuckerberg's perspective on college education?
And the test would be, they'd pull out any word in like whatever the third of a book was that was kind of that, that kind of section of the class. And they'd like show you a sentence and then they'd say, okay, this word is Like give us the full kind of grammatical and and like poetic significance of of kind of how this word is used by this author in this piece.
So, OK, I'm not like I'm not that good at language. So the way that I did that class was I basically just sat and studied word by word the like historical significance of of each word over like tens of pages, you know, preparing for these exams. And OK, I don't remember.
that much of that at this point right i mean there were a few quotes that i think are pretty good from some of those books but yeah um and i put them on shirts but um have you but yeah no that's a good one what does that one mean let's fall out or whatever from from many one i think it's talking about how we come together as as a as a people or as states into one union oh that's nice um but no i um but so you did it word by word but it still helped you
But I just think like the lesson from that is, you know, it kind of gave me this confidence that it's like, okay, that was like a crazy thing to do, right? To have to like go learn what every word's significance, like poetic significance and grammatical, the structure and all that is. And after I took that class, I was basically like, I can work hard enough to do anything that I want. Right.
Because like, I just like fucking learned all these words that don't matter, um, in order to like nail this thing. And like, and I won and, and, and kind of did that and got that to, to kind of, and kind of, you know, had some fun doing it. So.
Right. That's like you, like you found a, a model kind of. Yeah, exactly. And it was hard. It was a, it was a tough model.
Yeah. So, I mean, there's like, there's that, and there's like the math version of that. I mean, you're talking about Alexander Wang on here. It's like, I mean, I did a bunch of, um, the same kind of math competitions that, that he did. I had this like super hardcore math instructor in high school. His name was zooming fun. And he, um, and Chinese guy. Oh yeah. And, um,
I think at some point he had worked with... Zooming Fung.
Bring him up, baby. Zooming Fung. We want the Fung. You ever hear that song? They used to play that.
