Travis Kalanick reveals Bill Gurley pressured him to take a $6 billion valuation. Two months later, he raised at $17.5 billion. "Gurley was convinced it was the end of the world and we've got to raise, and just take your first term sheet, just f*cking take it." "We got... to a place where I just wouldn't talk to him. If he reached out to me, I would talk to him, but I just wouldn't try to engage because it was always that. So Emil Michael would handle this part. He would handle a lot of the investor relations." "Anyways, two months later, we got a round done at a $17.5 billion pre." "We were already planning IPO stuff. [Benchmark Capital] didn't know it. But they also never expressed the desire to be like, 'Hey, dude, you gotta IPO.' It was never brought up." "If you think the world's about to end and you've got this thing that's worth a ton of money, you could get to a weird place. Especially when you're a VC, you don't have any control. You're not running anything. So now your entire outcome in life is due to this guy." "You could get into a place where you're running a war room to destroy him. And that's kind of what happened."show more

Travis Kalanick on being ousted from Uber: “you definitely shouldn’t raise from Benchmark Capital” "I got to first shoot the arrow, which is you definitely shouldn't raise from Benchmark Capital. Got to get that out there.” “Where did it get weird? 2017 was my problem year. And Benchmark was running a war room. They were an unspoken activist investor that was creating a once a week crisis against me, without speaking of it.” “The best I can see is that they wanted liquidity and they felt like I wouldn't give it. And we were already preparing for an IPO, but I didn't tell them that.” “We wanted to make sure we'd done the right thinking, got prepared so we could just say, 'We're going to do it, and here's how we're going to do it.'” “Bill Gurley's a bit of a catastrophist. It's always the end of the world. And that forces you to do really weird things if you think the world's always going to end, including trying to take me out."

Ryan Gosling reveals he tried hiding from a Hollywood party in the kitchen... only to find Sylvester Stallone already hiding there "I was sneaking into a thing I had to go to and I went through the kitchen, and Stallone was hiding in the kitchen as well" "We both didn't want to be at this party, so I got to talk to him" "I thought it was like a secret move, Stallone had beat me to the punch" "He was just like owning the kitchen, but it was cool, got to talk to him"

Will Ferrell reveals his father's best career advice about luck: "He gave me the best showbiz advice ever. He was like, If it was based on talent, I wouldn't I wouldn't worry about you. You've got talent, but there's so much luck. Give it a shot, but don't get discouraged if you get down the road and you're like, This is just too hard. You didn't fail. You tried and you're capable to just pivot and do something else and walk." "It took the pressure of succeeding." "I thought, well, I'm not going to make it anyway. Let's just have fun. And it just allowed me to be loose."

Joe Rogan issues a HEARTFELT apology to Theo Von over his recent comments: “I apologized to Theo. He knows I love him and he said that and we laughed and we joked around about it and I apologized for the way I talked about this. But I felt like I needed to explain to other people too, to get what was going on in my mind out and it certainly wasn’t like covering for Israel and it wasn’t trying to paint him out like he’s damaged or treat him like a child.” “I just want him to be okay. And when you’re dealing with someone, or when you have had experience dealing with someone where it winds up going very badly, and then you’re just left with this feeling, like, what could I have done? You know, I didn’t do a good job of it, especially the Marcus King thing. That’s terrible what I did. I didn’t mean to.” “I was just trying to—you don’t think sometimes when you are in the middle of a podcast. You’re having a conversation, you don’t think about the impact that it’s gonna have. That’s one of the reasons why, you know, podcasts are so weird because like you’re in the middle of trying to be entertaining, but you’re also just having a conversation and I f*cked up because I felt so badly about it. It was like there’s got to be a way to address this where I just express myself and so that’s why we’ve never done this before.” “We’ve never done this kind of a thing after a podcast, but it was very important to me. He’s an awesome person, a great friend, and one of the most interesting and funny people I’ve ever met in my life. And I just felt terrible about it. And I told them I would never bring it up publicly again, but I think it is important to let people know that aspect of it.” “So I’m gonna call him and clear this with him and make sure he’s cool with me saying this, but I’m pretty sure he is gonna be. And that’s it… I’m a human and I’m flawed like all of us and I f*ck up and it’s probably not the last time. It’s definitely not. I’m going to f*ck up again. But my intention is never to hurt anybody, ever. And that’s why I mean I very rarely if ever even get upset at anyone other than like corrupt politicians. But I do my best to just try to be a good person, spread positivity.”

Trump on World Cup: Trump: All I did was ask for a review because I didn’t think it was a foul. And I think it would have been terrible if they wouldn’t allow, you know, a top player—maybe the best, maybe among the best players on the team—to play. I think it would have had a big stain, How would you feel if we took Messi out? You know, “Messi, you ran into somebody.” Or we took Ronaldo out. “Ronaldo, you bumped into somebody. We’re going to take you out of the game.” Or Harry Kane. “Harry Kane, we’re going to take you out of the game, Harry, because you happened to hit somebody a little bit harder.” You can’t do that. If you would have taken him out, I think it would have really stained this incredible championship. We’ve got to have our best players, and Belgium has a great team, by the way. We have to have our best players, and they have to have their best players. If we win or we lose, it’s fair. Otherwise, let’s say we lost him and we lose the game—it would be a terrible thing. So I think they made a really brilliant decision. I think the referee’s call was horrible, and nobody talks about that. They talk about the red card like it’s fine. Nobody talks about the referee’s decision to issue the red card. I didn’t know what the hell a red card was. When I found out, I said, “You’ve got to be kidding.” This guy just holds it up: “OK, your best player is not going to play in the next game.” I said, “Wow, that’s a lot of power. That’s terrible.” But then I looked at his past, and it wasn’t so great.

Chris Camillo reveals SpaceX kicked him out at a $220B valuation right before the IPO "I invested in SpaceX at $33 billion. The fund I invested in claimed to have run out of money to pay their legal bills in California at $220 billion and forced us out of the stock" "I got pulled out of SpaceX at $220 billion and it really upsets me now watching this IPO. My plan was always to hold it through the IPO" "I did make 8x, but it would have made a lot more"

.Naval: There was a story that I read about Elon Musk that really affected me, which was when he was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla. It was like a billion dollar short or something. And, Elon was like, “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” And Bill goes, “Well, you know, I talked to my financial advisors and I looked at the math and there’s no way it’s overvalued. And so I’m going to make money on the short.” And Elon goes, “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world. What are you doing trying to save a few bucks and betting against Tesla?”. And he just walked away in disgust. And I think he never talked to Bill Gates after that. And that’s when I realized, like, Elon’s a purist. He means what he says. The money is a tool for him to get what he’s trying to do. And so I take him at face value, which is the crazy thing, because a lot of people who set these audacious goals to inspire people, you kind of know they don’t really mean it. Elon, I take at face value. So I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that. And I think he means to get there within a defined window of time. And I don’t think it’s just like an inspirational, faraway goal. I think he’s very, very concretely going to do whatever it takes. Because Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America guy. He wants to go down as a guy who got humanity to the stars. Again, I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the “I got humanity to the stars” guy. He’s just like, “I want to get to the stars, and so I have to make it happen in this lifetime. The only way that I get to experience the science fiction world in my head is if I get to the stars.” And so that’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything. So I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.

Karl-Anthony Towns says he'd take a $100,000,000 pay cut to keep the Knicks together Q: “You willing to take a $100 plus million dollar pay cut to like Jaylen Brunson did to keep this thing together?” KAT: “If we can keep it all together. We all got to get in the room and say we going to do it” “I mean, Jalen Brunson, shout out to him. That's a lot of money. But you know what? You can't put a value on the fact that he's at where he wants to be. And I think that's a big value number that no one's thinking of. “He's with his father. He's super comfortable. He has a team that believes in him. I think that belief that a team and organization can give you is something that's worth a lot, a lot, a lot of money. And they give him that belief, and I think that he felt that was the best situation for him, and I root him on for that”

John Lynch explains why the 49ers didn't address the offensive line earlier than the 7th round of the draft: "We we're able to do that with Connor Colby, but there were a number of times that we were interested in adding and it just didn't come our way. And you’ve gotta stay true to where you have guys graded, not take guys just to take them but to take guys that you're interested in at that point. And it just never really aligned. We were happy to add Colby. We think he's a really good scheme fit. Great thing about Iowa is they run a very similar, they run a lot of outside zones, so you get to see a guy like him do things that we do and he does them well. So, we’re happy to add that. But there were a number of times Kyle and I were talking about that at the end that just didn't align, one of those deals and you don't want to force things. So, it wasn't our time for that."

Quentin Tarantino recounts a dinner with Robert De Niro during the making of Jackie Brown, where he asked him whether he understood when he landed the role of Vito in The Godfather Part II, that it would change his life. De Niro’s answer revealed a great deal about his mindset at the time. “I was working with Robert De Niro on Jackie brown, and we went out to dinner once. - When he got Vito in the Godfather Part II, that was going to be a big thing for him. He won the Oscar for it - it set him up to be a movie star. So I asked him - and I've asked this to quite a few actors when it comes to when they got the role that would end up changing their career - did he realize that the moment when he got the role, that it would have this sort of effect? And he goes oh, “I tried not to let it do that. I tried not to think about that” I go, "really? and why did you try not to think about that?" “Well because I’ve seen it happen and then go the other way” And then he used an example. “There was this guy, he was a young actor, and he was part of our crowd in New York. He'd been doing okay, but we were all in the same boat. Then all of a sudden he got a lead role. He's one of the two leads in a brand new movie by a director who had just done a smash hit.” And he's talking about Larry Pierce (the director) and uh... Goodbye Columbus. ”And he started dining out on it. And all of a sudden I go to the places that we used to go to, and now he's there and everyone's kind of revolving around him. He's kind of holding court. He's not doing anything bad; he's just arisen in the way that none of us have - and we're all treating him different. Then the movie comes out; nobody likes it - The movie comes out, and it goes away, and he's exactly in the same place he was. And I just wanted to make sure that that would never happen to me because I watched it happen to him.” Quote from Video Archives Podcast, sourced from James Whale Bake Sale YouTube channel. Clip below from the Godfather Part II (1974)

Chris Bosh says it took him months to forgive LeBron James for leaving Miami “Through a text. I thought he was bullshitting, and then about 10 minutes later it’s everywhere. At the time, I didn’t understand it. In my mind I was ready to put the team back together because we had just lost” “I took offense to it, to be honest with you, at first. I was only thinking of how I felt about it. Me and Bron talked about it, but I’m a competitor. When you go back to the locker room and Bron ain’t in that chair, and then everybody’s kind of looking at you for that 25 points and looking at D for that 25 points” “It still worked out for everybody, but I was upset. It took some time to get over it. I want to say it took months to get over it. We had to be in the same place and talk about it. Nothing deep, but just talk and get back on good terms and get back to where we were”

Elon Musk on how he makes predictions: I generally try to get the estimate to the nearest order of magnitude. Herbert Ong: “We want to understand how you think. For example, in the Master Plan Part II, you calculated it takes 6 billion of FSD miles driven before maybe the regulators would approve it. How did you know?” Elon: “I generally try to get things to within an order of magnitude. So, it seemed to me like probably, and this was technically in kilometers, but it would be closer to 10 billion kilometers, which is roughly 6 billion miles than it would be to 1 billion. But I thought it would not take 100 billion kilometers. When you're trying to guess something where there's a lot of uncertainty, just try to get the estimate to the nearest order of magnitude, the closest factor of 10. And that's why I said, you know, probably around 10 billion kilometers or 6 billion miles.” Tesla Shareholder Meeting, November 6, 2025

Robert De Niro originally wanted to play Max Cherry in Jackie Brown, the role that eventually went to Robert Forster. However, Quentin Tarantino had written the role with Forster in mind and had already promised him the part. Tarantino explains… “I wrote Jackie Brown, and I decided at some point in writing the script that Robert Forster would be terrific as Max Cherry. So, while I’m still writing the script, I bump into Robert Forster - we go to the same coffee shop. ….so I decided I’m gonna give him the part, because I figure, look, this would be a big, big deal part. So if I don’t give him the part, then once I’m done with it and it gets out in the town, then it’s gonna be Gene Hackman and Paul Newman and people like that, and it would be pretty hard to say no to. But if I just give him the part right now, I’ve got the juice to get it through, and now I can’t take it back because I wouldn’t be a man of my word. So to lock myself into that decision, I give it to him before I finish writing it. And then now comes the time to do it. Robert De Niro reads it, and he wants to be in it, but he wants to play Max. And I go, “Well, look, you would be a fantastic Max, but I’ve already given that to Robert Forster, and I’m a man of my word. I can’t take it back.” Now, De Niro is very much a man of his word, so he understands that. He gets that. And he’s just like, “Yeah, yeah. That’s just disappointing. It’s just regretful.” I go, “What?” “Well, just because, you know, you were thinking about him, so you wrote it for him. But if we had had more dinners and hung out a little bit more, then you would have been thinking about me and you would have written it for me. And I understand what happened, but that could have been changed if we had spent more time with each other before this.” And so he kind of gives me the – “just think about it for a couple of days, all right? - and then let’s talk again. Maybe Bob (Robert Foster) could play Louis, the other guy.” So then I actually have Bob read Louis with me, and then read Max. And if that could work, maybe that could work. But no, everything that made him perfect for Max made him wrong for Louis. And so I get on the phone with De Niro — and I go, “Yeah, you know, I explored that. But no, everything about him that makes him perfect for Max makes him wrong to play this ex-convict guy.” And he goes, “Yeah, yeah, I get that. I get that, I get that, I get that. Okay, so tell me about this Louis character.” And I go, “You would consider playing Louis?” “Yeah, it’s a good character. It’s a good movie. I wanna be part of it. It’s a good character. I wanted the other character, but yeah, this is a good character. I’d be happy to play it.” I go, “Well, you didn’t let me know that before.” He goes, “Well, I didn’t wanna let you off the hook. I wanted you on the hook. But now if that ship has sailed, then let’s talk about Louis.” And then it was a done deal.”

Robert De Niro originally wanted to play Max Cherry in Jackie Brown, the role that eventually went to Robert Forster. However, Quentin Tarantino had written the role with Forster in mind and had already promised him the part. Tarantino explains… “I wrote Jackie Brown, and I decided at some point in writing the script that Robert Forster would be terrific as Max Cherry. So, while I’m still writing the script, I bump into Robert Forster - we go to the same coffee shop. ….so I decided I’m gonna give him the part, because I figure, look, this would be a big, big deal part. So if I don’t give him the part, then once I’m done with it and it gets out in the town, then it’s gonna be Gene Hackman and Paul Newman and people like that, and it would be pretty hard to say no to. But if I just give him the part right now, I’ve got the juice to get it through, and now I can’t take it back because I wouldn’t be a man of my word.

Steve Jobs on how he learned to run a company: Question: "You're 21. You're a big success. You know, you've just sort of done it by the seat of your pants. You don't have any particular training in this. How do you learn to run a company?" Steve Jobs: "You know, throughout the years in business, I found something, which was that I always ask why you do things. And the answers you invariably get are, oh, that's just the way it's done. Nobody knows why they do what they do. Nobody thinks about things very deeply in business. That's what I found. I'll give you an example. When we were building our Apple I's in the garage, we knew exactly what they cost. When we got into a factory in the Apple II days, the accounting had this notion of a standard cost, where you'd kind of set a standard cost and at the end of a quarter you'd adjust it with a variance. And I kept asking, well, why do we do this? And the answer was, well, that's just the way it's done. And after about six months of digging into this, what I realized was the reason you do it is because you don't really have good enough controls to know how much it costs. So you guess, and then you fix your guess at the end of the quarter. And the reason you don't know how much it costs is because your information systems aren't good enough. But nobody said it that way. And so later on, when we designed this automated factory for Macintosh, we were able to get rid of a lot of these antiquated concepts and know exactly what something cost to the second. So in business, a lot of things are, I call it folklore. They're done because they were done yesterday and the day before. And so what that means is if you're willing to sort of ask a lot of questions and think about things and work really hard, you can learn business pretty fast. It's not the hardest thing in the world. It's not rocket science. It's not rocket science."

Pokémon collector reveals Logan Paul didn't speak to him for two months after cracking the PSA 10 Charizard "I asked Logan how he could crack it. He said, 'Gary, I'm a maverick.' I literally thought he was going to say he's an athlete. Not very bright, because you just don't do that. You just paid $150,000 for this card." "He took it to Beckett and it was a marginal 10. I believe it was a 10, but it hit that gray area. He didn't talk to me for two months after because he was afraid I'd be upset. Finally he came up to visit and said, 'Gary, I was really afraid you'd be mad that I cracked it and got the Beckett 10.'" "I told him, I couldn't be more happy for you. I tried to cross it over myself and it didn't work. You did it. You're a friend and I'm happy for you."

Nicky Butt: “I never played against Messi.” Paul Scholes: “Well, you were lucky.” Nicky Butt: “I was very lucky, yes. I would not go anywhere near him. How good was he?” Paul Scholes: “Well, look, it wasn’t just him. You think of the three in the midfield. They must have played both times in that Champions League: Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets, and then you’ve got Messi with that. When you are up against a midfield player and they are coming at you one-on-one, you hope you don’t get in that situation. With some players, you would be able to read them. You know where they are going and sometimes you can take it off them. But with Messi, I did not have a clue. I had absolutely no idea what he was going to do. I didn’t know if he was going to the left, to the right, or if he was going to go through my legs. He could have done absolutely anything. You just had to guess. If you missed the ball, you had to try and get him. I actually did it here once at Old Trafford. It should have been a penalty. If VAR had been around, it would have been a different story because it was the night when we won 1-0. But that team, as a whole, was incredible. I would say after those first 10 minutes in Rome, they just totally outplayed us.”

Catherine Austin Fitts: "I was shocked at who didn't know not to take the jab." Michael Yon: "It was a big shakeout... I actually reevaluated who I'll actually spend a lot of time with for that very reason. I'm like, they might be dead soon." This clip of Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (The Solari Report | Catherine Austin Fitts), and combat correspondent Michael Yon (Michael Yon: Callsign BIG HONEY), as well as journalist Masako Ganaha (我那覇真子 Masako Ganaha), is taken from a video posted to Yon's eponymous YouTube channel on February 16, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- Fitts: "I was shocked at who didn't know not to take the jab." Yon: "It was a big shakeout, wasn't it?" Fitts: "So I told you the story of the MP who told— When Andrew Bridgen was in the Parliament, one of the MPs, he was trying to persuade him to support him in stopping Covid shots for children. And the MP wasn't going to do it and was trying to sort of shut him down and finally turned to him and said, Andrew, you took the shot, you're going to be dead in five years. I don't, I don't need to care what you think." Yon: "I actually reevaluated who I'll actually spend, a lot of time with for that very reason. I'm like, they might be dead soon. I need to actually invest my time in people that, are more... likely to be alive. I mean, that's unfortunate, but that's reality. This is war." Fitts: "You got to be careful. My guess is that different places were on a quota system and different populations were in a quota system. So I think a lot of people got saline. And you can't assume if somebody got the shot, that they got either a bad batch or an mRNA, they could have gotten a saline drug." Yon: "I'm not assuming that, but it was one of those, like, hey, I mean, we're in a state of war, so we have to make. And where am I going to the very limited resource of time, where am I going to invest it, you know, in people that are now sick from it or what? We, we just don't know. We have no idea how this is going to unfold at this point." Fitts: "But it is dangerous that you have many people who don't know what. They're on the menu. And it can be dangerous to work with them because they don't know. And so they're going to take, you know, you're going to hit a place and they're going to take a different turn than you. And it may be inconvenient, given what's going on." Yon: "Right. This is a state of war. And literally, I think most of us by now know people who died and."
