E54: Real estate is real estate because it's real estate
Adam Neumann is back with a new startup, and 50% of our episode is now off the rails. Apparently his sister was more well known than he was, pre-wework. Who knew?? So his new startup, Flow, raised $350M from A16Z. …

Wow, crazy great episode this week! We literally thought of a hilarious startup idea, and Guy ran it through an AI deck generator, and before you know it Sky Jumpers was born. Sky Jumpers- parachutes for drones. We also lost...
E52: Anti-Shark Tank
Shark tank-like pitches are the worst, right? Well, Hillel doesn't agree, but you might think otherwise. Unfortunately, there are more layoffs hitting the Israeli tech scene. And we spoke a lot about where Facebook should b...
E51: Lack of fragmentation
Back with a vengeance! A lot of iOS 16 public beta talk, tbh. It's momentous- you gotta love summer iOS betas. Then of course we reviewed a few restaurants. Deal with it. Was a fun episode this week- enjoy! BYEEEEEE …

E49: Semi Unhinged
Guy has COVID. Itamar calls out Netta. Hillel is getting Crystal Lite. A ball was had by all. We got some listener feedback calling one of our episode "semi unhinged". BADGE OF HONOUR. Ok, so what did we chat about …
E48: You smuggled an iPhone in what?

E46: Team wheels!
It seems like the world is preoccupied with the more wheels vs doors debate, so we step in and help settle that. But what else is going on? Well, the boys took a two week hiatus, so Hillel could travel, …
E45: Let's Get Physical
"I don't know anything about Peloton or fitness AND I DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT" -Hillel Ok, so maybe that's not an exact quote, but it covers the spirit of what he said. But guess what? Peloton was in the …

E42: Sans Itamar
Itamar had a last minute emergency, but the show must go on! So it's a Guy-Hillel-full episode. We jumped right into it, straight-up tech-talk. Oh and we should have probably named this episode something about the answer to l...
E41: A drone that costs how much?
41! This is the George H W Bush episode. You came to hear us talk about tech. That's exactly what you're gonna get. But the best nugget has to be how expensive Hillel's drone is. Seriously. WTF. How much is …
E40: Secret Word Games
EPISODE FORTY!!! We upped it up. A whole extra notch! Sometimes we play games as a segment of the show, but this time, the entire episode is a game! We played the "Hillel Secret Word Game", where Guy and Itamar …
E39: #freeItamar

E37: On the Rails

E36: Catastrophic Equipment Failure
WE MADE IT TO EPISODE 18 X 2! But barely... You see, we experienced yet another equipment failure. Including the backup system 🤦🤦🤦. And we lost the original Episode 36. So technically this is 36b. Yeah- this episode is la...
E35: Put down the phone. Phones are for closers.
