Alex & Dana break down everything we know about Chamath's IPOF merger with Equinox. Particularly, all the divisions and services of Equinox (luxury hotels, gyms, in-studio cycling classes, on-demand workout content, hardware and more!) We compare Equinox to it's rival Peloton and discuss what the future holds in this very competitive space. Needless to say, we're VERY OPINIONATED this episode but cautiously optimistic about how the market will perceive this merger in the coming weeks (especially after the deal is finalized and terms of the deal are shared publicly with the SEC).

00:00 - Initial thoughts on merger news

09:08 - Chamath targeted by Wall Street

14:48 - Chamath's responsibility to shareholders (speak out)

16:38 - Hardware partnership

18:36 - Examine Equinox's Peloton-like experience

21:25 - Could Equinox be everything Peloton is, but more?

Obviously, we had to discuss Alex's interview last week with Lucid Motors CEO, Peter Rawlinson, but more importantly, Elon Musk's tweet "Rawlinson was never chief engineer.
