Love the new format Jason. I know it maybe hard to keep getting BG^2 week after week, but they’re SO good and insightful. I miss the business and tech focus from the All-In show, and this is exactly what I want. I suspect the same for others as well. Thank you!
More Bill and Brad two weeks in a row?!?!? 🔥🔥🔥 Hey man Bill has got to be close to retirement. Hopefully he can be a regular every week if you know what I mean jelly bean😉😉😉
Having @Jason as a regular on BG2 would be highly beneficial. His strength lies in voicing or inquiring about topics others often shy away from, a crucial aspect for extracting key questions on the show. This was exemplified in the Uber episode, where Jason’s incisive questioning truly shone.
Jason, Congratulations. You are a genuine innovator. And it is a joy to see you rising and rising. An angel investor not only in the financial sense. You are providing angel support for the marketing of others. Expressing them (both here and with All In) as “besties”, you also showcase what true friendship means.
Way too many ad interruptions on this podcast J-Cal. I know it’s how you make money but the frequency hurts the experience and quality of the content. Will continue listening to All In.
You forgot to ask Dara why does Uber charge customers surge and doesn’t pass the surge to the drivers? Why didn’t you ask about the upfront pay not disclosing that they won’t get the surge that Uber is charging passengers? Uber is a sinking ship if they think they will continue to take more than 50 percent of fares from its drivers. And why didn’t you ask why Dara continues to lie about drivers earning 32 an hour? Softball questions does nothing for the drivers
UBER is the technology of the past - a middleman with no solution for the future - NO INNOVATIONS in the last 5-7 years, THEY STOCK - Uber start making money only because they taking an UNREASONABLE 50% cut from share paying crap to drivers - corrupting politicians and killing all comparators. We will remember them like Pagers or Nokia.
Dara, California Uber Black drivers are providing their own commercial insurance (Cost Drivers on average $950 per month) and Uber is taking 40% of the passengers price. If Uber’s take rate is 20% then you have web hosting (1.5%), merchant services (3.5%) and Government/airport fees (5%). Where is the rest of the 10% of the passengers price going?
Why is it that other countries have so many other excellent options for getting around & much much much more ? While in USA etc I'm a big Uber user but...
It was interesting to watch the discussion of those in the top of the predatory venture capital world. I don't see that uber has improved the world, nor any of the giant disrupters.
Uber 's stock is going up big, but those media and finance youtubers didn't even mention a word about it.I guess they are instructed to keep their mouth shut on good stocks so that retails don't buy them. Poor retails😂
Uber and Lyft will have no future . They have already made money while the sun is still shining. A different app will need to be developed, with new Ideas
Terrible time to upload, everyone's busy on a Friday. I could make this rip so easily, why sabotage your own content with poor thumbnails, no branding and strange upload times?! Come on JCal, I emailed your team this week. Let's make an effort.
They just got profits at the expense of the driver's, uber it's been cutting the fares to the driver's so they can have profits, it's time to change the executives at the top and replace them with someone that can make this business grow, and don't believe on all the lies this executives say
Jason the NAR/ National Association of Realtors is NOT the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REAL ESTATE......This is the second time I have heard you not get the name right and complain about Realtors. You are uninformed at best. A Realtor is not the same as a licensed real estate agent. These men - a bunch of billionaires who don't know squat about real estate, and are always complaining (Jason), clearly don't understand the value of a good agent ~ who can typically negotiate with the buyer's agent to get the seller an extra 100k. Please understand that the agent only gets a $2,500 increase in commission but the seller gets 100K more! I am retired so no skin in the game. I would never try to negotiate a VC deal. Egomania. Icarus....
Why don’t we talk about drivers how this company rips drivers off taking 50 to 60% of a rides and not providing anything other than access to an app this company has stopped paying bonuses whatsoever. It’s absolutely a joke drivers a drive for this company make bare minimum money, and pay out gas vehicle maintenance Tires oil changes and everything and the company provides barely nothing yeah they have a center programs if you accept 70% of their rides or more but they rides don’t pay anything. They want you to go 30 miles for $10 at the most that’s $.50 a mile, sometimes less than that you can’t make money at $.50 a mile with your fuel car payments car insurance, tires, etc. etc. etc. and then take home a profit for yourself at the end of the day is crazy. This guy running this company is a nut job. It’s all about bottom lineinvestors screw the drivers. Stop using Uber please
Yeah, you know when you listen to these guys that are running this company or invested in this company they have no sympathy for drivers none whatsoever. They always talk about bottom line and how much they have to spend to win or not win or we’re gonna spend it until we die, blah blah, blah blah blah, but you know what that translates to it translates to screwing everybody they can to make a profit, counting the drivers most of all cutting cost cutting bonuses cutting rates for the drivers you know they need to stipulate how much they take from a driver on every trip it used to be 45% now it’s like 60%. I had a driver that charged $60 to go 60 miles because they claimed that the drivers run strike, yeah the drivers were on strike last Valentine’s Day 2024. This was months after the so-called strike he got charged $60 to go 10 miles when he asked Uber why is it so high they stated because of the strike I took that ride that’s why I know what happened. I got paid $24 and some change so they made 30+ dollars I made $24, this is a joke once they lose all of their drivers because of the path they have taken maybe they will rethink their business plan. This is so crazy. I cannot believe Uber has turned upside down to make profit and please their shareholders you better wake up your drivers are the ones that make your company money not your shareholders and not your CEO that makes a hell of a salary. I’m sure, you start thinking about your drivers the ones that do the work
Love the new format Jason. I know it maybe hard to keep getting BG^2 week after week, but they’re SO good and insightful. I miss the business and tech focus from the All-In show, and this is exactly what I want. I suspect the same for others as well. Thank you!
Love listening to Bill and Brad. Hope this becomes a regular thing! Dara was fantastic.
This pod has been on fire lately. This format needs to be regularity! ❤
More Bill and Brad two weeks in a row?!?!? 🔥🔥🔥 Hey man Bill has got to be close to retirement. Hopefully he can be a regular every week if you know what I mean jelly bean😉😉😉
Bill and Brad rock!! please keep them coming
I am a simple person. I see both BGs and JCal in the thumbnail, I click! 😅 But on a serious note, as always a great discussion!
I admire Jason's spirit and vitality. Lots of things I can learn from this guy.
Great pod! Was looking forward to this! 💯 Also, Bill's and Brad's arguments are always insightful, great to have them on the pod again!
brilliant conversation. So insightful. Thank you Jason.
Panda Hub ENTERS THE CHAT!!!
I agree.

Wow , this pod has become better than all in. Jason, what’s the music analogy ?
Hell yes , Bill and Brad return is great!
Way too many ad interruptions on this podcast J-Cal. I know it’s how you make money but the frequency hurts the experience and quality of the content. Will continue listening to All In.
Driving as a Uber driver as i listen. Interesting. Uber takes 50-60%
Ironic how there numbers started going up around the same time they started increasing prices and paying drivers less

If BG^2 is a permanent fixture for TWIS, then this pod might give the all in pod a run for it's money
This is so much better than the All-In-Podcast as we don't have to listen to Sachs' nauseating Republican propaganda!
Dara seems pretty genuine, great episode
Love hearing you're using Gusto for payroll and benefits Jason.
PLLLLEEEEASSSSSE KEEP DOING THIS FORMAT!!!
bill & brad alongside jason is amazing! the all in podcast for startups & growing companies, more please! :)
What a great informative vid - every founder should listen to Dara and implement the obsessive discipline. What a guy!
Sure they’re profitable. They pay shit to their drivers.
New Besties?! I’m all in.
J Cal, and the two BGs might be my new favorite besties group
You forgot to ask Dara why does Uber charge customers surge and doesn’t pass the surge to the drivers?

Rewatch around 40 minutes mark might be helpful on perceived take rate
JCal trying to cement the title World's Greatest Moderator.
Brad + Bill + Calacanis = BBC
Dude.
@@jasoncalacanislive what? like the British Broadcasting Corporation
Two best guys to listen to
BIll & Brad BG2 are monsters.. top of the food chain.. this is the best podcast in tech biz...
Jcal Brad and Bill is like All in 2.0. Love to hear their takes
Home run episode. More of these.
This is so amazing

JCal. Come on 3rd or 4th? Who was 1, 2, 3, 4th?
AMAZING!!
Excellent. Keep 'em coming.
Such a great point that fear of too much dilution has driven all sorts of bad incentives and outcomes for companies.
First? Nice 😂 I guess I’m officially a superfan.
Yea jcal I got to give it to you. This is amazing
Thanks pal
Invite Travis Kalanick back
They mentioned “zerp” a few times. What does that mean? Anyone?
zero interest rate policy (ZIRP)
What if Tesla solves autonomy?
Oooooo…. Jason going rogue.. I guess All-in besties rubbed Jason on the wrong side by not making him the chairman of All-in 😂😂
BG still using headphone jack the GOAT
would love to hear about Google Waymo integration in Uber
great stuff! comments incoming on X
Why is it that other countries have so many other excellent options for getting around & much much much more ? While in USA etc I'm a big Uber user but...
excellent pod and episode.. balance TWIST bias and have Lyft execs/ceo on to discuss.. ;-)
Two Databricks founders and one board member sold $32M worth of shares in December. Is that normal?
love it
Dara should become the next CEO of Tesla……

Dara the big stealing money on delivery drivers
my startup will beat you "Uber"
Awesome.
Uber and Lyft will have no future . They have already made money while the sun is still shining. A different app will need to be developed, with new Ideas
evolved into a monopoly and squeezed both ends of their p&l... drivers and customers... good for them bad for all...sounds familiar?
Did Jason know about Uber before this podcast? Couldn’t tell…
The number of ads on this podcast is VERY annoying and breaks the whole experience...
Shame on you Dara.
First 🎉

Those positive numbers are not based on standard accounting practices. They write it as adjusted EBIT meaning it's manipulated

هو هذا يسرق أجور السائق
Jason cheating on his besties with his side besties.
Respect the time and effort you put into these videos! 👍
