00:00
I told you about content mode, baby. I'm writing, and I'm I got some gems.
00:04
I I'll give you the headline of something I'm writing right now. I haven't even released this, any of this stuff yet.
00:09
But, but it's called
00:11
congratulations. You climbed Mount stupid.
00:23
Alright. What's up fellas? It's Friday. How you guys doing?
00:27
Doing great. Good.
00:28
Good.
00:29
We're reacting to the news. We got some good ones this week.
00:32
Let's start with, let's start with Jake Paul versus Tommy Fury.
00:36
Jake Paul, of course, the famous influencer,
00:38
has since become a professional boxer for the first time he lost a fight
00:43
losing to, Tommy Fury, a professional boxer, and social media influencer.
00:48
And,
00:50
not just the fight is notable. What's also notable is that Sam, you basically called exactly what would happen in the fight. So do you wanna take your victory lap right now, Sam? No. I didn't call exactly,
01:00
but I have been getting good at predicting fights. I'm a huge combat sports fan.
01:05
But I I didn't exactly get it. But I loved it. You don't know why I love it? I love freak shows. This was a freak show and I am always gonna pay for that pay per view and watch freak shows. I thought it was awesome. Second
01:17
think if you're listening to this, whether you're a man or a woman, you should go and train boxing just for like three months and actually spar, not like rumble where you're hit in the back, but I think you should spar. And I'm not talking spar like where you kick someone's ass or you get beat up because, Sean, you remember when we spar. It doesn't hurt. Right? If you do it with someone who It doesn't have to hurt. But when you know what it does, it scares you. It's a very It gets the heart rate up. It gets the heart rate up. It you you if you do it right with someone who's been there, done that, you're not gonna get hurt. I promise you're gonna get hurt by running more than you will actually sparring if you do it with someone who knows what they're doing, but that, like, fight or flight response, we never get that. And so I love that he did that. I find it very courageous that he actually stood in front of all these people and fought. So kudos to him, but,
02:02
Yeah. I I don't think he's gonna, like, be a great boxer.
02:05
I mean, proper to him,
02:07
first of all, came on the show. Got to give him credit for that. Came on came on our show.
02:12
Now he's doing other shows. These are all, you know, highlights of his life. I'm sure which is the correlation. Yeah. Exactly. I'm not saying if one caused the other, but like Probably.
02:23
We did do our show before you know, a lot of this stuff happened. We we did do our show before he did every other show.
02:30
And so, I thought it was great. You know, I think the transition from like
02:35
Disney kid, vine star, youtuber,
02:38
kinda shit head,
02:40
you know, brand to
02:43
He's legitimately good. He is legitimately good. He is not I would not call him a celebrity boxer. He's like an amateur boxer Like, he's, like, he's an am he's a very good amateur boxer,
02:53
and he's an entertainer.
02:55
And, like, he, you know, he's done an amazing job staying relevant but evolving the game with him. I think that, a lot of people hate on this guy or laugh at him or whatever else. I think there's a lot of good lessons you can take about
03:08
re inventing yourself and finding a way to merge maybe things you're interested or passionate about with
03:15
your
03:16
skills in the world of business or entertainment,
03:18
and, he's done it phenomenally well. And thinking from first principles, like, him and his brother Logan,
03:24
they didn't just ask, what should I do next as a YouTuber?
03:27
They were like, what can I do next using this audience and this fame? And they came up with different answers than ninety nine point nine percent of other YouTubers out there. You're getting him credit for that.
03:38
Yeah. And he's tough. I don't think he's gonna be a great boxer, but he's super tough for doing that. So that's awesome. Next.
03:46
Next, from one controversial social media star to another, Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are being detained for a third thirty day sentence in Romania.
03:55
Of course, they're charged with human trafficking. They claim that there is no evidence and they still haven't had a trial.
04:01
What do you guys take? Enterate human trafficker or wrongly imprisoned?
04:07
I don't know much about it. Do you? No. I I mean, who knows what he did? But, first of all, Romania guilty in their until proven innocent. What's going on here? Why is he in why is he in these, like, he he says because he's tweeting out. He says he's, like, in solitary confinement, basically.
04:24
While
04:25
he hasn't had a trial, that's a that's a little strange.
04:28
He also said,
04:30
dude, he said I've been in this thing for thirty days now. They don't let me out. Just imagine locking yourself in your bedroom for twenty four hours. Just go ahead and do that now. Think about where I'm going through. I I wanted to cry, but then he said, like, but I realized I'm too tough for that.
04:45
But it's obviously not good. Does everybody can somebody explain this to me? Cause he tweeted out two hours ago, my body is in jail. But my mind is not in jail. Do you understand?
04:55
But what I don't understand is how do you have Twitter right now? Yeah. I don't know either. What kind of lax prison is this?
05:02
Yeah. And you said, are you gonna be putting free Tate in your Twitter bio? No. I'm not gonna be putting that. I I don't care. Are you gonna put Dude, I will pay you a hundred dollars put free cobra tape in your Twitter bio.
05:15
That would be so funny. For twenty four hours, just do it. That'd be amazing.
05:19
Oh, no. Not a chance. I'm I'm not team Andrew Tate. I'm I wouldn't say I'm not I I don't like how he talks to people. So I I guess I would say I'm I'm I'm kind of against them. I have no idea about the story. Other than if he did do what he's accused of, then, yeah, that sounds pretty fair. But I have no idea what the truth is.
05:34
Yeah. He's kinda cringe, to be honest with you. But, yeah, let's go on.
05:37
Alright. Let's move on to the lab leak theory. So, multiple government sources are now saying that they think the lab leak theory for the origins of COVID nineteen true. This includes the Department of Energy and the FBI.
05:50
So fellas, are you surprised?
05:52
I am not surprised
05:54
I am not surprised. This ever since that one John Stewart clip, have you seen this this John Stewart clip, Sam, where he goes
06:01
he was ringing the bell early on. Right? Yeah. It was pretty early on. This was like when it was still
06:07
unpopular. And in fact, you would get like sensors or your videos taken down or, like, a giant flag saying, this person's a conspiracy theorist for saying it. And he goes on the Colbert showed. He does this little bit where he goes.
06:20
He says something about the lab leak. And, you know, it's leaked from a lab and it's crazy. And then Colbert goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, we you know, lab leak. I mean, you're saying that we we there we don't know that there's no evidence because evidence
06:31
there's a coronavirus
06:33
that originated in Wuhan,
06:36
where there is the Wuhan coronavirus
06:39
lab. It goes It's in the name. And he just keeps going off. He's like,
06:44
he's like, there's a chocolate leak in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
06:48
Is this, you know, is this random, or maybe it's the chocolate factory?
06:52
You know, like, it it does the he brings us up, and it was just, like, so obvious at that point
06:57
it's like what
06:59
how unlikely would it be that in all places? The novel he's like, the novel coronavirus
07:05
originates in Wuhan, where there is the Wuhan novel coronavirus
07:09
research lab. Like, the, you know, you're telling me that that just happened to be the case. Like, seems like the odds are that it came from that lab, not that it just happened to be in that lab, they're in that same area. I remember my friend, Jack, telling me about this, like, early on. And my friend, Jack, is
07:25
not quite a he's not a conspiracy theorist at all, but he is very open minded. And, like, he believes, like, He doesn't believe lots of things, but he'll, like,
07:34
when people say that, they originally were thinking, well, that's crazy. And his response was like, okay, well, let's see what the evidence is and and maybe we'll explore it. And I remember me that. And I'm like, Jack, you're pretty crazy for thinking that. And my big lesson over these last three years as it regards to this story is not like did it or did it not come out of that. But now it's
07:51
looking like maybe it did or at least, for sure, it did somewhere between maybe and for sure. Not for sure. It didn't. And my takeaway is
08:00
There's things that I would use to dismiss as just crazy and only crazy people would believe this, but I've seen over the last or ten years as I've, like, become more of an adult and, like, paid attention to these things. I've seen that, like,
08:12
man, crazy things do happen. And also,
08:15
a lot of huge life changing things are just accidents. They just happen. Like,
08:20
and and and now I have a little bit more of an open mind when people say, like, well, this person is conspiring with this other person to make this happen or whatever. And I'm like, oh, maybe they're let's let's have an open mind and explore the facts if we can. Right. Yeah. There there's a I remember back when this first started, it was basically considered racist
08:39
to say that
08:40
the virus might have leaked from the lab in China. And I never understood that. I was like, why would that be racist? How is that racist? I lived in China.
08:48
Don't find this racist in any way. Like, what what are you talking about?
08:52
And, it reminds me of one time I tweeted out my favorite books. I've tweeted out five of my favorite books or something like that. And then the comment goes, this the the bunch of people start comment, they go, there's not one woman on this list. And I go, these are my favorite books. What are you talking about? What are you what are you talking about? I I have to have fifty percent diversity in my favorite books, and I I I just reply to go. All my favorite NBA players are black. And that just sent people off. That that totally triggered everybody because I was like, no. I am not apologizing. We I named five of my favorite books and they just so happen to be written by men. Like, that is not at all what I'm talking about, and you're trying to, like, you know, I call these people meter maids. They just run around the internet looking for little tickets at the cars that they could ticket. Like, where can I go be offended?
09:40
You didn't you didn't you were not inclusive enough for me to get and I was like, what are you talking about? That's not even what this was about. Did you invent metermate Yeah. Yeah. I did that last night. I I told you about content mode, baby. I'm writing, and I'm I got some gems.
09:53
I I'll give you the headline of something I'm writing right now. I haven't even released this any of the stuff yet.
09:58
But, but it's called congratulations.
10:01
You climbed Mount stupid.
10:04
And I'm just working backwards from that headline to be like, what's the what is the content here? But I but I've just got a bunch of jams that I'm putting, in my on my email list. By the way, go go subscribe to my email list. I'll put in the the show notes. It's shawn puri dot com and go go put your thing in there. I'm writing three hundred sixty five original pieces in the next, in the next year. So one a day will go out. And one of them is gonna be called congratulations.
10:27
You climbed Mount stupid. What are you doing? Like, a daily email?
10:31
Yeah. But it's a sequence.
10:33
That would never work. It'll it'll work. I know I'm joking because we both had Oh, okay. Gotcha. That joke.
10:43
Our software is the worst. Have you heard of HubSpot?
10:46
See, most CRMs are a cobbled together mess, but HubSpot is easy to adopt and actually looks gorgeous. Think I love our new CRM. Our software is the best. Hubspot.
10:56
Girl better.
10:57
Alright, Ben. What do you got? Let's go, rapid fire through a few of these. I don't know if you guys saw this, the Felix Dennis house. So Felix Dennis, very famous entrepreneur. Your boy. I love them. Yeah. Publisher of Oz and author of How to be Rich. So he built this house for five million pounds.
11:13
It just sold for four million pounds. It's really cool, but one of the weirdest houses you'll ever see, it's mostly a pool,
11:20
in the middle, and it's treasure island themed with, like, palm trees and, like, a bunch of pirate stuff. And the whole house only has two bedrooms. So the question is fellas.
11:29
Does this make you guys into themed houses? Are you guys gonna be building, themed houses now? Well, the takeaway here for me is F Legacy,
11:37
because
11:38
this guy built something that he wanted, and oftentimes people will say things like,
11:43
Well, what about the resale value of this thing?
11:46
Or how, how is this gonna impact your legacy? And my reply to that lately has been like, well, I don't know. Like, I'm I'm gonna be dead. I don't care. And so what I appreciate about this is that he spent his money the way he wanted to and he made something cool, even if it didn't do, make any financial sense. So I think it's cool. And if you haven't read his book how to get rich, we talked about a bunch here. It changed my life. Whenever we talk about that book, it like goes up to like number ten, top ten in the business category. So go read it. It's it's awesome.
12:14
There's a picture in this article of him with a,
12:17
extremely,
12:19
voluptuous person that says, Felix Dennis spent a hundred million dollars on sex drugs and rock and roll in his lifetime.
12:26
Yeah. That's what he talks about. So he basically says, from your flight. Right, Tim?
12:33
What about your comp new company's mission statement?
12:38
Core values?
12:43
He, basically, from age, like, thirty five to,
12:47
like, forty. He was addicted to crack. That was his drug. Was
12:51
I swear to god, crack cocaine. He loved it. And he died,
12:56
single. He had a partner, but they had an open relationship. So the guy's been doing a lot psychedelics and open relationships before it was cool. No. He was a very weird and quirky guy, and he, like, basically says he spent north of a hundred million dollars. In his book, he goes, I spent a hundred a hundred million on on hookers and crack. So,
13:14
you know, whatever.
13:16
Dude. Yeah. I believe that. Everyone's happy. Will Chamberlain said he slept with ten thousand women in his lifetime. And if you do the math Dude, the math on that is is, like, portable. It's, like, it's crazy. It's, like, dude, you gotta sleep two women a day for, you know, many years. Yeah. I think it's even more than that. Yeah. Because he wasn't that old at that time. By the way, you said something about themed houses I'm in on themed houses. I think themed houses are great. And more than the more than the theme, actually, is
13:37
epic common area. You said two bedrooms. That's I think bedrooms are a giant waste. I think you would need a couple bedrooms and you should have epic common areas if you're gonna have a mansion. I don't like the eight bedroom mansion. You know, like, I got opinions on mansions, and that's one of them. You gotta have epic common spaces and only a couple of bedrooms. Three, four bedrooms max I don't wanna see a fifth bedroom. And do you know what his, charity was that he left all of his money to? Was creating Forest. So he's like the Johnny Applecy of England. The guy, he, like, has, like, thousands of acres of forest that he owns. And I think this house, it's known for having all types of trees. So In Colombia. He's like the crack cocaine foundation.
14:18
Alright. Thanks, man. Alright.
14:20
I love this one. The Minnesota Department of Transportation ran a snowplow naming
14:24
contest. So they got a new snowplow, they needed a name, and they out they they crowdsource it to the public. Here are some of the top vote getters. You're a blizzard Harry?
14:32
Blizzo,
14:33
clear o Pathra,
14:35
better call salt, and Hans Snolo.
14:37
So guys, do you have a favorite from this list?
14:41
The last one. I think I like clear clear opatha. I think that that one's pretty good. I I did not see that one coming. Remember when they did, Body Mcboatface,
14:50
when, like, I think it was, like,
14:52
I think it was, like, either a ferry or a tugboat or something like that. Like, a town let people vote on it, and it Reddit got a hold of it, and they made the number one voted thing, Boaty Mcboatface.
15:04
And so I love these viral stunts. I think they're awesome. Sam, I don't wanna steal your thunder, but you did wanna announce your tattoo naming contest. Sam is willing to get a tattoo on his back that any anybody, that is gonna be a contest from the fans of my first million. Isn't that right, Sam? That is we're totally wrong. I was that is I think I did what I did say, there's this you remember how we talked about mini katana? Yeah.
15:29
They're sending me a gold
15:31
sword, I guess. Catana, I don't know the difference that has MFM on it. So I'm I'm collecting all types of MFM stuff. I don't know if you have to call a Katana sword, by the way.
15:40
Is it?
15:42
What remains the meter maids are running around. They're excited about that one. Oof.
15:47
Well, I have a gold katana on my way that has my first million on it. So I'll I'll accept all MFM stuff, but I'm not gonna tattoo with with these two genres. How about at a million YouTube subscribers will you get a crowdsource tattoo? Will get a tattoo at a million for sure. When I I went and did this podcast,
16:03
in LA with like this, guy Cody Co he's really good. He's kinda like a comedy YouTuber guy.
16:10
And,
16:11
his studio at Austin. He was telling us about they have they have, like, a network, and they have some other show called trillionaire Energy or something like that.
16:18
And so he they put it up on the screen. There's like a screen you can see while we're sitting there. And it was the two hosts
16:24
in slow motion with music, just getting closer together. And these two guys just made out. And I go, whoa, what's the show about? And he goes, No. They had said if they get, whatever, hundred thousand subs that they would kiss. Did they really do that? And I go
16:38
Oh, yeah. That's a good idea. That's how, like, you comedy YouTuber hollywood people think. Yeah. That that's a good idea. We're not gonna do that, but But that's a great idea. Did they really do it? Like, they do. It's a hilarious video. It's in slow mo as they get closer and closer and they just make out. Are they tongued?
16:53
It's intense.
16:54
I'd rather be I'd rather be I'd rather be unsuccessful.
16:59
You know, when people say, like, quote, how bad do you want it? I don't want it that bad. This is a quote about success. You gotta find the price of success and then pay it.
17:07
It's too expensive for me. Yeah. It's out of my budget. Yeah. I'm out.
17:12
We have we have food at home.
17:15
You wanna do one more? Yeah. That's the last one. Alright. Last one. So,
17:20
BlueSky is a new Twitter clone, backed by Jack Dorsey.
17:24
And unlike Twitter, it is decentralized.
17:27
And so, the question is fellas.
17:30
Are you supporting our comrades
17:31
over at Blue Sky or are you supporting the capitalist pigs over at Twitter? What what's your move? Dude, Jack Dorcey owns a bank. How are you gonna call him
17:40
a comrade?
17:41
Right? I mean, he's owned he's he's moving away from capital. He's seen the error of his ways, dude, when I hear, okay, so here's some of the words that use open source,
17:50
social protocol,
17:51
and decentralized. When I hear those words, I just
17:54
I just don't care.
17:56
I just don't care at all. Like,
17:58
they want me to care about it, and that's wonderful.
18:01
And maybe sometimes I'll act like I do.
18:04
But I don't. I don't care at all.
18:07
It's like if you tell me,
18:10
probiotic
18:11
antioxidant.
18:13
Right? Yeah. I don't care. If you wanna shove it in there, and I'll I'll drink it if it tastes good. Right. But I don't but I don't need to know. That's exactly right. I'll drink it if it tastes it. That's my take on this as well. I'll use this this app if it's awesome. If the content is great and the people on it are interesting. And if it's something different than Twitter, if it's Twitter, but the database is different, I'm out. I don't care about that. That's not that's not what draws people in. I don't that that doesn't mean it's not a bad good idea. Great. Do it. Do it differently under the hood, but has to result in something different that the person actually gets to use.
18:44
Yeah. It is and the same thing happened with web three where they, like,
18:48
they give me this horrible pitch and then they end it with web three. And I'm like,
18:52
well, I don't care if it's web three. Just does this thing work? Is it awesome? And I feel the same way about this. So
18:59
I don't care. And also, ma have you tried mastodon?
19:03
Yeah.
19:04
Dude, it's stupid too. It's stupid. No. Like, it's it's dumb. So anyway, I'm not on board with this. Alright. Alright.
00:00 19:33
