Video: This Week in Startups #41 with Jason Calacanis, James Segil, and ... Joel Spolsky?!?

[update: video embed fixed. They switched it after a few hours.]

(The episode where Jason wins poker money off of Ted special-dinner elites.)

Come for the business advice, stay for the comedy.

Nahbut... seriously.

There really is good, helpful business and  info in every TWIST interview/episode.

But that's not why I love this show on the weekends.

Jason is surprisingly hilarious and charismatic for somebody who's not a "performer" professionally (Reminder: He's a CEO). He has great comic timing and monologue flow.  (I want less Mahalo links, and more screentime for this guy.)

Also: He likes Kanye and Jay-Z. (I like Kanye and Jay-Z!)

Surprise guest: Joel Spolsky!

(Advice: Episodes are long: Best to listen on weekends.)
