podcast nation. What is good? Very special episode today. I believe this man will have no need for an introduction. We have Mark Zuckerberg.

I have to start practicing this mark. I've been in a bunch of meetings saying meta. You know, just a lot of practice. You really threw me for a curveball.

Yeah, I'm still getting used to it too.

So obviously he, Mark is at the hell and head of meta.

And I'm really excited to be talking to him because I really want to get into the metaverse and the web three world.

Obviously so much of this community is aware of my involvement in the NFT space.

And it's funny. On the way here, I realized, oh my god, this interview is going to go similar to the Joe Nameth interview I had.

For all my sports nerd friends that listened to this podcast when I had Nameth on, I literally asked him 14 questions that were so left field compared to the normal Joe Nameth questions.

For example, I asked him about why we lost the AFC championship game and didn't go to Super Bowl 4 instead of talking about Super Bowl 3.

And I realized that's what's going to happen here because I have so many very selfish questions for Mark about this web three world that I'm going to be selfish with my limited time with him.

So Mark, first of all, it's good to see you and how are you?

It's good to see you too. It's been a while since we've done something like this.

But I'm glad to get a chance to do it. There's a lot of exciting stuff going on right now.

And the reason why we come to you is because you do ask good questions. So let's go for it. I'm curious what you got for me.

So Mark, I think what's really funny in the meta pun intended, it's NFT NYC right now.

And I was saying to AJ Kevin Rose, a bunch of the old Web 2.0 friends, how much this feels like the early South by Southwest days.

And obviously, one of the first times we sat down was after your keynote at South by just jamming, talking about the space.

And I remember the conversation vividly because I have a solid memory.

And because a lot of the things we talked about about where this was all going was the topic and many of these things played out.

And somebody that I feel has always had a disproportionate understanding of communication, consumer, human behavior.

Give me your first hot take. I know you've had this big announcement the other day.

What is your just kind of macro thesis of the Web 3 place we're going?
