There are dozens of topics covered in this wine-infused, bromantic episode of scatterbrained nonsense.
Like what? Well, plans for 2014, firearms, tech finds and start-up talk, the goodness of Zelda, favorite recent books, and much more. O-tanoshimi dane!

Comment Rules: Remember what Fonzie was like? Cool. That’s how we’re gonna be — cool. Critical is fine, but if you’re rude, we’ll delete your stuff. Please do not put your URL in the comment text and please use your PERSONAL name or initials and not your business name, as the latter comes off like spam. Have fun and thanks for adding to the conversation! (Thanks to Brian Oberkirch for the inspiration.)
Hahaha The Random Show is great! These must be a lot of fun to do. Is the Shyp deal available to Canadians? You gotta show us some love too!
Looking forward to another great episode, Tim. The Shyp.com/tim link was broken, so I just signed up on Shyp.com.
The link worked for me, (iPhone+chrome).
I just tried in Chrome and it worked. Seems broken in Safari.
Best intro ever!
Come Fly fish in Montana! My roommate is a guide… Email me if you wanna visit Missoula.
The reason you were able to write the 4HWW that hit’s so many people to do the things you’re struggling with (using time for life instead of work) is because you have every problem of overworking in one brain and had to figure out how to overcome every single one
I had no idea I could back you guys on AngelList. I’ll be looking into that ASAP. Thanks.

Sweet!! Thanks Tim for the mention =).
Huh, that ended randomly.
About time! I’m getting into Hunting and WILD in 4HC is really helping make things seem closer than they actually appear. That and I’ve got a really good mentor 🙂
Hahah! I almost sh@t myself laughing when Kevin talked about upping his game and then whipped out the briefs. That dude is so funny!
That was surprisingly entertaining. I was excited about the angelist but I went to the site and saw that you have to be an accredited investor. I need to look into those requirements.
um, kevin might want to check CA laws about the configuration of your AR. the ones we sold in other states were different from the California models (non/slow detachable mags and limits on mag size)
Good luck though, it should be fun.
Not true.
The lower has to be ‘off-list’ and not marked Colt AR15, or any of the other formally banned-by-name entities on the Kasler list (11 CCR 5499).
Other than that, he just adds a bullet button, and you’re CA legal.
Tim, I have been recommending the Kingkiller Chronicles to everyone I know. The books are amazing. I you haven’t yet finished The Wise Man’s Fear (book 2), you’re in for an even greater treat than you experienced with The Name of the Wind!
Great intro you guys!
Agree, that ended randomly in the middle of a sentance. Ah well…… for the fly fishing, you might also look at the Lake Powell outlet, below the dam. Standing in that huge canyon, playing the trout, might impress you more than Montana. But I might be spoiled, living here in Colorado…… you might never get to see trees there in SF. Slight dig at the left coast……..
37 is NOT old, try being 52 🙂
Responsibly free. Nice.
I didn’t know people got older AND nerdier…couple of dorks.
Tim
Try vipassana meditation course – real life changer.
Best to you
I feel like you should be somewhere between Eragon and Fallen.
http://www.amazon.com/Most-Reviewed-Items-Amazon-com/lm/R2T3W4O42W6US1
Super cool show. Interesting to hear what you guys are planning for this year.
By the way, Kevin – you don’t look 37 at all 🙂
This was first year that I did New Year resolutions, not just general goals that I usually have. And working on them.
Fluent Chinese – now in Taiwan, learning language 2-4 hours a day.
Muay thai – going to train it in gym 2 times a week
Building my “muse” – still at the researching stage, but slowly moving forward.
I am trying to “batch plan” things I do like recommended in 4HWW, but with working online, and doing all other life things, it just seems days are not long enough. I guess still have to work on my priority management (and not being distracted by cool stuff on internet…)
Thanks! Very nice view from your window btw.
Tim Rose, LOL
Nice with the Calvin Klein brie-xers! Thank you guys for thinking about the ladies!! Great start of the year!
Love the idea of monthly meaningful activities. Video blogs please!
I’ll definitely be doing my testings with shyp, fobo & the Costco bourbon.
That duck catching is going to be epic!
Thanks for bringing another great episode!??????
You should bring Graham onto the other side of the camera more often.
Great show, did up some timestamped show notes for the lazy
http://www.youtubeshownotes.com/read/1a5896411661
Tim, what about that spinach breakfast? you only have that spinach alone or add some eggs and other fats?
See he adds eggs whites from a bottle.
Tim and Kevin thanks for another great episode of the Random Show. I signed up for Shyp, but it’s not in my neck of the woods yet. Can I still get a signed copy of your book? Thanks again!
I really need to read things properly. Read the above as “and ship anything — I suggest a book or a friend or family member”. Now there’s a business idea
I really do love the Random show, been watching since ep 1. I was watching years ago while trying to implement the 4HWW, now I’m still watching as I live the 4HWW from SE Asia. At first I couldn’t figure out why Kevin Rose seemed familiar — then I remember the hours watching TechTV as a kid! Even cooler now since both Kevin and Tim had a big influence on my life!
Thanks for all the inspiration!
THANKS FOR YOUR INFLUENCE, TIM! AFTER READING YOUR FIRST BOOK; ditching my 25-yr career; moving to South America; and writing my first book: THE BACHELOR CHAPTERS: A THINKING WOMAN’S ROMANCE, I founded FOREVER FORTY-FOUR PUBLICATIONS. Release date is MARCH FOURTH (how’s that for a serendipitous day)?
I made a trailer, too—here’s the sneak preview:
Great episode! Very random!
If you enjoy Bulleit you need to try Four Roses. Four Roses is the distillery that makes Bulleit and if you buy the Four Roses Single Barrel with a “B” in the recipe it’s 35% rye. It’s a great bourbon especially for $40
-Blake
Bourbonr.com
As a 2nd Amendment advocate and member of the NRA, let me be the first to say what a great episode this was! Looking forward to seeing Kevin’s AR when finished. Hopefully a few action shots as well….
AngelList looks awesome, but seems you need to be an accredited investor to invest. Is that right, or am I missing something?
These are their “accredited investor” criteria:
# Net Worth
I have individual net worth, or joint net worth with my spouse, that exceeds $1 million (excluding my primary residence)
# Income
I have individual income exceeding $200,000, or income combined with my spouse exceeding $300,000, in each of the past 2 years and expect the same this year
# Venture Capital or Investment Firm
I invest on behalf of an accredited VC firm or other accredited investment company
# Business
I invest on behalf of a business with $5M in assets or in which all the equity owners are accredited”
Very interested in a reply to this question. Honestly don’t know if I’ll ever meet one of the criteria but I do absolutely have $1000 to commit.
Tim – been a long time since we were frat bros at P’ton but wanted to invite you to fly fish with me in MT. This is my 7th year. My treat and will supply guides, gear and lessons (if u need). Probably going in June/July.
Best,
Craig
Kevin is right about briefs, presentation is everything!
Have not found a wine I like, but bourbon is next on my list of things to try.
Thanks guys!
The Tim Ferriss Experiment:
I like the show but it looks like all you are doing is getting a great teacher and doing what you can in 5 days. I didn’t see superhuman results on the drumming or car racing. The ‘Kiwi’ didn’t do any deconstruction or 20/80 principle and yet he still did slightly better during the test. Though it was a personal success for you to improve in an area that you had a challenge with, it was not some amazing accelerated learning super human example that people would love to see.
Enjoying the experiments, fun to watch.
Cheers!
Congrats on the Dragon Hair young man! I am almost 69 years old so it makes me smile to hear you young folks talk about the beginning of the end.
You two guys are amazing. I am sure you feel good about yourselves for all your success, but you probably don’t realize just how far ahead of most of the world you are. When I was your ages I had a wife and two girls and a sales career. If I had even a fraction of your talents then my life would be far better now. So you are inspiring many I am sure and they too, will go on to do great things. Oh, read Four Hour Work Week and Four Hour Body.
It is good for us old guys to hear what young successful people like you are thinking about. It keeps me young.
This is the first time I watched the Random Show. Good idea for a show. Keep them coming.
Hi Tim, Thanks for startups advice and the angellist. If you ever read this, may I suggest these two books of Dale Carnegie for your Book Club? How to Stop Worrying and Start Living and How to Win Friends and Influence people which I think helps every reader deal with his life, work and stress. Both my favorite books along with your 4HWW, Cyropaedia, Steve Jobs Biography, Only Love is Real by Dr. Brian Weiss and The Laws of the spirit World. Thanks again. :)?
Hey Tim,
If you’re looking for more fantasy style stuff with awesome dialog, I recommend books by Glen Cook as well. You can try Tower of Fear out as a good stand alone to see if you like his style. After that I’d recommend the Black Company series or the Instrumentalities of the Night.
“This is how you’re upping your game?” haha
great quote Tim!!

Tim,
I have an application idea that I would like to speak with you about and am in need of possible mentorship or even guidance on how to move forward with it. I feel that what I have come up with could be extremely beneficial to the public. Would you be available for a discussion? Please let me know what date and time would work best with your schedule.
Thank you for your time.
Love the honest introduction for the episode, wish many internet celebrities paid attention and stopped being so pretentious about their blogs.
I like Kevin’s commitment for this year – it can be tweaked and applied in many ways to get closer to a fulfilling life.
Great show Kevin and Tim.
Really looking forward to Shyp.
Dear Mr. Time Ferris
I profusely apologize for inconveniencing you. My life is at crossroads and I have a belief that you have a role to play in the resolution of this dilemma.
I am a big fan of your work and so is a very special person in my life. She has since decided to take a break from me. My only hope is to tell her in a way that I am not just about words and I am willing to do anything to make her feel special. She loved Barnes and Noble, and also the Amazing Race. So over this weekend, I clocked 327 miles in New Jersey, covering 16 Barnes and Noble locations in 10 hours. I collected photos and compiled them into a photo album.
She is a very big fan of yours and it would mean a lot to both me and her if she were to get a small personal message addressed to her. A few lines of text is all I seek.
Dear Mr. Tim Ferris, you must have truly loved someone at some point in your life, and you might be in love even now. In the name of that pure and sacred love, I beg you to please help my cause by contributing a few lines of text.
Thank you.
Sincerely
Ravi Gupta
Thank you soo much man 🙂 From italy
I appreciate both Bulleit Rye and Hibiki, great taste guys! I also appreciate a good Macallan.
Hi Tim,
Great Random Show, as usual.
I am a big wine fan, and was excited to see some wine recommendations. I have not been able to order any though, and wondering if anyone else has had any luck. The sites seem to require you to submit an email address and wait to see if you hear back (have not heard anything yet). Hoping I get the chance to try some!
With Marriage comes wisdom Kevin Rose, enjoyed the episode, hope to see lots more!
Hey Tim,
I think a guest post from Kevin detailing his journey through his “self-education” of alcohol, including books, people, places, brands, and the different resources he uses throughout the process would be pretty awesome! I have wanted to self-educate myself for a long time and haven’t exactly known where to start. Just a suggestion, thanks for another great show.
I love the idea of doing something every month that you can look back on and fondly remember. I don’t want to get to my deathbed and say, “I wish I had more time to do…….” Now is the time! Best of luck with the Ar build!

Tim, I really appreciate these posts. You and Kevin seem like pretty cool dudes.
I look forward to more episodes. Maybe do one from your little step brother city – Portland, Oregon – where there are lots of cool entrepreneurial things going on.
Could do an episode from a craft brewery!
Cheers.
Hey Guys,
Love to “back” your syndicates, but the accreditation bar is just out of reach. The bar seems pretty high for the $1000 minimum mentioned. Did I miss something or is the angel web-site yet to be updated?
Thanks!
I brief search shows Hibiki 30 around $1000. How much cheaper is it in Japan, if it is a good price there?
Question:
Tim and Kevin discussed paper trading with AngelList. I’d like to start with Paper trading while I earn my accredited investor status. I can’t figure out how to actually do that.
Does anyone know how to start paper trading on AngelList?
Hi Tim, thank you for your thoughts on the startup ecosystem and your inspirations. [Moderator: link removed]
all about life hacking and learning and can’t even rid himself of his low dosage alcohol addiction 😉
Tim, what shirt you wearing. Looks nice!
“Scatterbrained nonsense” is ALWAYS best spoken over a glass of wine! Love it.
