MrBeast reveals once enough airlines start using Starlink, he’ll only book flights that have it “Oh this flight has an extra hour layover? I don’t care, there’s Starlink. I’ll sit in the back of the plane if it gives me Starlink. I really don’t care, Starlink is amazing” “Most people listening probably haven’t used it but for reference when I filmed in Antarctica the only way to get any signal was Starlink. We had this four hour drive in the middle of Africa, you put Starlink on top of the car and you get perfect signal the entire ride” “And I think what Elon Musk is accomplishing with SpaceX, there’s no doubt it’s going to fundamentally progress humanity in unfathomable ways. In our lifetime, someone’s going to go to Mars thanks to SpaceX, I really do believe that”

Robert Downey Jr: “I think part of the reason I’m still so interested, not just in life but also getting to do what I do, is I’m a fan” “I love movies, I love creativity, I love music, I love culture and the fact that I actually have a place in it while I’m observing it and digging it is like… it’s an honor”

Chris Camillo thinks crypto investors are why Pokémon took off over the last year “My understanding of what happened to Pokémon is that about a year ago, there were a handful of crypto traders that decided to go deep into the Pokémon world” “They basically overinvested in Pokémon over a short period of time and set off a chain of events that set Pokémon on fire” “That’s my understanding of where the money flow came into” “What’s interesting is it wasn’t like they popped the market and it deflated. They set the market on fire and now it’s just been rolling and rolling ever since”

CEO Matt Kalish reveals what led to the ending of FaZe Clan and its creators, confirming no member was ever offered an 80/20 deal, but rather failed because the content house was losing $7,000,000 a year 😳 “ask Swagg, YourRAGE.. literally all the loses were tied to one thing”

Matt Kalish shuts down rumors FaZe members were asked to give up 20% of their money “Call anyone and ask them if they got shown a deal to give them 20% of their money. It’s fake” “The losses were really tied to one thing, which was the streamer content house lost $7,000,000 a year” “I just think the model was broken and it ran out of people willing to continue losing money funding a model that had basically no revenue”

Bryan Johnson explains why not breaking world records isn’t a failure for the Enhanced Games “People came into today expecting world records to drop” “These athletes had a training camp for four months and were only able to enhance for two months. This is a baby step into a new world” “It’s not a defeat. It’s proof you can enter a protocol with clinical oversight and enhancers in a measured way” “It is a victory that they’re opening up the possibility that substances can be used in a measured way in sporting events”

I hope everyone that came out for the live filming of a Beast Games S3 episode had a great time! Very grateful for all of you 🫶🏻

Bryan Johnson says athletes are massively underpaid and Enhanced Games is changing that “Athletes are some of the hardest working people in the entire world. They’re also underpaid, sometimes they have two jobs, making $20,000” “When people are fairly compensated it removes the anxiety and the stress of, can I make ends meet? Can I actually focus on training for this sport?” “I think that’s what many of them report, that this is the first time in their athletic career they could dial in and focus on performance. Many athletes are making in this event alone more than they would make in six years” Emmanuel: “I was talking to an athlete in the hotel lobby and he told me, why would I go back to the Olympics? If I go back to the Olympics, I’d be taking a pay cut” “He said, I’m making more over this 4 month stretch thanks to Enhanced than I made after I medaled at the Olympic Games” “What Enhanced is doing is giving these athletes an opportunity. It’s a trampoline to jumpstart their career” Jennifer: “Everyone’s getting paid something to be here. Even if you come in last place, you’re still getting $50,000”

Bryan Johnson reveals why he uses an umbrella even when it’s not raining and UV levels are low “90% of physical skin aging is from the sun, so this is a UV umbrella protecting me”

Bryan Johnson reveals an Enhanced Games athlete went too far with enhancement and started sinking in the pool “He was also measuring his lactate, normally you can get to 25 but it got so high that the device errored out” “They were looking for a device used for horses that could measure higher, it got off the charts” “James Magnussen also had a limitation where there was no suit that actually fit his body, so he had the inability to go further”

StableRonaldo trolls Boady Santavy after he fails to break the Men’s Snatch world record at the Enhanced Games 😭 “That was for $1,000,000, can you imagine? Your life would’ve changed just like that”

Chris Camillo explains why Pokémon cards might keep going up for decades “I’ve always believed that Pokémon and an IP similar to Pokémon for a collector is where it’s at” “Unlike other collectibles, it’s not set in a period of time where you have a peak where the people that were really into that baseball player or football player hit peak wealth and drive the market up and then the next generation has less of an appreciation for that player, like with sports cards” “I think Pokémon’s fascinating because they reinvent themselves for each generation. So it’s one of these really rare collectibles that has cross-generational demand” “You can make a case that the Pokémon market could stay healthy and continue to drive forward for a very long time” “I’m not saying it will but there’s certainly a thesis there that has data to back that up” “So the Pokémon collectors might not be as crazy as you think they are”
