| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, welcome to the Olympus! |
| 0:06.0 | Your illustrious moderator, Jason Calcanis, has been first. |
| 0:14.0 | He's been cancelled. |
| 0:16.0 | We cancelled him for his constant interruptions and low IQ comments. |
| 0:22.0 | We decided that the minimum IQ required to be on this pot of this 140-150 did not make the cut. |
| 0:30.0 | And so now it is just me, Jamoth and Freeberg. |
| 0:34.0 | He is Jason, he is actively implementing our jerk off to win, strategy to solve the pandemic and free speech. |
| 1:04.0 | Hey everybody, it is an emergency podcast episode 16. |
| 1:10.0 | Hit number two in the rankings on the Apple iTunes podcasting store. |

| 2:08.0 | I think we should start with what happened after the last all-in podcast between you and Sachs over text. |
| 2:15.0 | We should get it all out there, we should share it publicly. |
| 2:18.0 | No, I think it's worth doing. We talked about this before you joined us. |
| 2:26.0 | And Timoth and I are having an intervention. |
| 2:30.0 | I'm going to say something real quick. I think it's worth highlighting that one of the things that I think we have the opportunity to do as a group is to kind of elevate the conversation a bit and not frame things as being black and white. |
| 2:42.0 | And not frame them as being one or zero or partisan or left or right. And everyone on this in this conversation has nuanced opinions about a lot of different topics. |
| 2:51.0 | And when you sum up all those opinions, it doesn't define a left or a right person or a Democrat or a Republican. |
