Anytime a rich person tells you, that money doesn't make you happy, just ask them for their money then it's like, oh, cool. I guess it's useless, right? Okay, just give me a bunch of it. Then I feel like, I can rule the world. I know, I could be what I want to put my all in it. Like all Days on the Road, Less Traveled, never looking
0:19
back. Those welcome to the Friday episode, The Boys reactor and go through some new stories. Let's start with the thing that everyone is talking about, everyone is always talking about, which is Elon, Elon has got himself in trouble. A couple
0:30
Of times this week first, he tried selling some house plants or office plans. I should say just employees to raise money and then also ridiculed and sort of kind of fired an employee. Who is disabled your thoughts on the endless drama of you on?
0:46
Cringe. What do you
0:47
think? Yeah, you are news. Is the cringe Master. He has to make everything about him, like he's just me, me me, he's now known as Milan musk in my house is guy, he loves this guy's too much. The the crazy thing Sam did you watch this all go down with the the guy that was like, hey am I fired? I think we should. We should explain this. Yeah.
1:06
So do a recap, I didn't understand all that. At first, I had to like
1:10
click-through. So guy goes on Twitter, who's got? I never heard of this guy, but he's got like a hundred fifty
1:15
Followers and he says, hey you nine days ago? I lost access to my work computer. Just can't I can't access Twitter anymore. I work at Twitter, it can access my work. My work computer doesn't login anymore. It doesn't work. Can't get into my email. Can't do anything. I'm not sure if I'm fired. Nobody told me I'm fired but I just can't get into my email or my computer. I've emailed them, I've waited nine days. I've got no reply from HR from I'm from anybody. So I guess hey, at Elon Musk, am I fired and so that you know he tweets that
1:43
out. When's he getting
1:45
They'd still,
1:45
I don't know, I don't think so because everybody was one of it was only nine days and maybe it was in between yet. So he tweets that out and he goes maybe if this gets enough retweets then I'll get a response so gets retweeted a bunch of like, he's people, you know, there's a whole group of people that you love to hate me Lon, myself, included, and so people are like, this is another example of how poorly Twitter's being run right now. Like why would you if you're gonna fire somebody, tell them their fire that's, you know, common decency, right? Like I feel like you only got this flow chart.
2:15
It's like I'm firing this person. Should I tell them? It's like, yes. And it's like no, I'm gonna go with. No. Okay. What happens after know? Like she should I just should I, you know meet with them in person. Shit. Cut off its like that. Dude. He's
2:28
like Irish good. Buying their jobs. It's basically, this is walking out without saying goodbye.
2:33
Exactly. And so anyways, this thing goes viral. So basically you londen, you know, again he sees the all he sees this thing going viral. So instead of actually just eval you are fired or confirmed
2:45
Yes, you were fired. He instead says what have you been working on? Like what have you accomplished is the? So then he goes well you know if I say what I'm working on, I think I'd be breaking my NDA. Do I have permission to break my India and tell you what? Like can I say publicly here? What I work on any one flies? Yes go ahead good. What an
3:04
attic start to the story. That's already pathetic. He
3:07
goes. All right. Well, I've been working on this. This and this and then he'll on replies, basically being a jackass. Like the guy, the bad guy goes
3:15
You know, leveling up the design of this, I was working on this and, you know, I was helping save money on this contract or whatever and it goes Ilan, replies level up the design from what to what pictures are it didn't happen. And like you know dipshit you cut off his computer access I was he supposed to have screenshots of us and work if you took away his computer he's not you not even able to do it and then he's like mocking a basically just replying with like the crying laughing emoji. He's replying trolling him with like a clip from Office Space and now here's what you all went wrong. So
3:44
So elon's not dumb, but he's a dumbass as a big difference between dumb at a dumb ass dumb is, you're just not smart, dumb ass is your smart but you do dumb things. And that's what he'll on does here. So he basically picks on a guy that it comes out. So this guy sold his company to Twitter it, so you on comes out. Here's what he says about the guy he goes, somebody was like dude this is the this guy Alex Cohen has great to meet you guys. I'm not gonna lie. This is the most entertaining exit interview ever. There's watching this whole thing, go down in public, and then the guy you want, says the
4:15
Is this is a guy that who was independently wealthy did, no actual work and claimed as an excuse that he has a disability preventing him from typing yet. Here he is. Tweeting out a tweeting up, a
4:25
storm. Wait. And so it's a the disability thing. Ilan, said that first
4:29
he goes he claimed as his excuse that he has a disability preventing on typing yet was simultaneously tweeting up a storm. I can't say I have a lot of respect for
4:39
that. What a douche, why? We could, how could he
4:42
reveal that? Here's the other side of the story. This
4:44
guy has like this guy's in a wheelchair he's had like mustard is just e for 25 years that so he goes. So this guy came back with just kind of some fire so he goes Thunderclap I think you called it is so loud Thunderclap basically. So he comes back. He is glad to see you're taking such an interest in my health. I assume what you're talking about when you are sharing my private health information online is the fact that I've had muscular dystrophy for 25 years and I guess I'll go ahead and tell the story now. So you know, I lost, I lost the ability to
5:15
My legs 20 years ago, I've been in a wheelchair, unfortunately, it's been spreading and I've my arms have been getting weaker over time. In fact, that's why I sold my company. Remember you said I was independently wealthy. I guess what you mean by that is I built a successful company and sold it. Unlike, you know, somebody else you might have inherited an emerald mine which is that, you know, elon's Dad owned a camera,
5:34
which is bullshit, which is, that's a bullshit thing is good, but whatever, we'll use
5:39
it in this case, it's good. And so he goes, I guess that's what you mean by independently wealthy, and
5:44
And you know so here's what here's the story. This guy's got muscular dystrophy. He's losing feeling in our strength in his arms becoming very painful to type he decides. Okay. I'm gonna sell my company and instead of taking a lump sum payment, he chose to get paid out through like a salary instead of an upfront money which is like, dude who would do that. Why? Because he wanted to pay more taxes in Iceland. Where he's from,
6:06
wait, really want to pay
6:07
more taxes. Why do you want to pay more taxes? Because he felt like he's as a disabled person. He had benefited a lot from like the social welfare system there and was
6:15
I want to contribute as much as I can to that, which honestly sounds like too good to be true. Like, whatever. So different than me. I almost can't fathom that I'm almost like, why don't you just take the money and donate it instead of paying taxes? I don't understand that, but either way, this guy, so build a company had 100 employees working for them. It was profitable decides to sell. It was bodies basically been giving out on them. He's like you know financially it wasn't the best decision. My company was making a lot of money. Twitter's offer was lower than other companies but I made a bet on Twitter, it was growing at the time and he goes, by the way he goes,
6:44
So anyways, I digress. Are you still reading or your bathroom break over? Okay, what was I saying? And he goes, oh yes, so you bought the company told employees, you weren't firing them, firing 75% of them and then you did I was not in the first batch or the second batch of the third batch of layoffs. I don't know which bachelor on Matt now, but I think I'm fired now. I'm not sure I'd want to make sure I get paid out because in his contract, he had it. Where, okay, I'll take the money as a yearly salary, rather than an upfront payment. But if you ever fire me, then you have to pay out the rest, right? So, I'm guaranteed
7:14
Money, I'll take it, you know, slower rather than faster but you know that that's fine. And so anyways this guy this guy not only
7:22
how he's typing, what's that? He also mentioned, how he was typing. Yeah, I think he
7:27
was just like yeah I can't do like sustained thing but like I can type with big one finger on my phone and Belmont. And so anyways he explains this. He goes like this guy was literally named person of the year and Iceland this guy like his. His side hustle is he's building wheelchair ramps.
7:45
Throughout Iceland. So that other disabled people can do, like he's building hundreds of these wheelchair ramps. Like, that's who you are. That's who you pick it on here. That's who. That's who you chose to fight with. I saw this great quote. He goes, he'll on man. This guy's a dumbass. He fucked with the wheelchair mr. Rogers because, what is this guy thinking? You know, like it. So, this guy, you know, I read this thread and I was literally, like, I don't want, I'd like to report a murder, right? Like, the ultimate clap back and then he loves try.
8:14
Backtrack and he basically goes some random dude Tweets in the thread goes, I know Hallie. And this is, you know, you're saying that he's a liar and was just trying to do no work and get paid out. That's not who this guy is random guy tweets. And then you'll on treats back, this is the most bullshit of all the bullshit he goes based on that. Comment, I decided to call Hallie rather than just tweet it to each other and you know, have a video chat with him, turns out, you know, there was a misunderstanding, the
8:44
Operation. I was given was either incorrect or correct but not
8:47
important. That white flag, bro. You lost
8:49
and you know, and we've discussed him in a staying with the company and you know this is the ultimate backtracks like first of all you you want him to stay with the company because you have to pay them out if you fire them. So that's like, you know, the first thing. Second thing, you basically fucked up and stepped in it and this guy could sue you for like, you know, a whole bunch of money for like basically you know discriminating it's a disabled person, did he apologize? Well is disclosing his private health information as well as probably three or four other you know?
9:15
Issues that there were labor laws that were broken in this process but it's like, dude, you decided to have a video chat. Not when the guy said he's, your employee said he hasn't heard from you not when he asks one at for an explanation, but when a random guy on Twitter said, know how he's a good guy. You decided there to stop in your tracks and do a video call with him bullshit. Like this whole, this whole thing is bullshit and Elon continues to be, you know, king the king of bullshit.
9:43
Have you heard the
9:44
Song. Damn, it feels good to be a
9:46
gangster. Have you ever have?
9:49
There's a line, there's a line in it. I can't say the real line, but it basically says, real gangsters, don't flex nuts, because real gangsters know that got him. And right now elon's, he is pretty gangster. I mean, he's the man, he and I, he ain't acting like it. He's flexing nuts hard and he shouldn't be flexing as hard as he is, and I get the personality type versus some people are like, dude, he's just saying whatever he wants the same thing with Trump or he's like, he
10:14
just saying,
10:14
He says it like it is it
10:16
says it like it is and I actually just like that. I like that like to an extent but I'm like there's just punched someone like hitting people isn't good. You know what I mean? It's like yeah I want to do what i what does that mean about it? Like go take a dump in the corner of the room like you know there's like do you let's be polite to one another also if possible we don't we're not going to be needlessly needlessly, rude to one another and that's kind of how I feel he acts right now. And that's not
10:40
cool to learn to other parts of this new story. One, it's going around at this guy.
10:44
His payout was a hundred million dollars which makes no sense anybody who's had businesses like well, that number makes no sense. There's no way he's getting paid nine million dollars a year of salary. There's no way that they bought his Agency for a hundred million dollars. It's not how much you would act will hire an agency. For it's probably more like 10 but, it'll and I went, I found it just started with some random guy who goes, oh man, Ilan backtracking now because he realized he that Hallie has a hundred million dollar payout and like five tweets. And somebody's like, where'd you read the hundred million? I never saw that he goes, I'm just
11:14
Meaning like you know, Aqua Aqua hers are million dollars a head that 100 employees so you know a hundred million dollars. And now that's just like, in a bunch of places. It's like that's how bad
11:23
like information suffix News
11:25
starts. The second thing is you want owned himself when he goes the end of his thing, he goes better to communicate through talking instead of communicating on Twitter. It's like that's
11:33
not how you roll do literally
11:35
shitting on his own platform by the way, you know, so so self owning, you know, all around so that I thought that was touching. And then been said something about the house, either, the office plant thing.
11:44
NG? What do you make of this is sorry. This makes no sense.
11:47
What happened? I didn't, dude, I have muted Ilan. I love what he loves doing, man, but I like, I even think the Twitter things interesting, but fuck, it's hard to be on his team and so I had to mute them. So he's been selling like
11:59
office furniture and memorabilia from the office. Like just liquidating to like get
12:03
more. I can't find her. They had a Twitter logo, I tried buying it but it got up to high
12:08
and apparently like there's like plants in the office that he tried selling to an engineer, like one of the employees or some like that. It's like,
12:14
Don't know, either this guy's a marketing genius. He's trying to get PRI trying to. Like, it's the thing where it's Amazon was like, we use doors as desks to save money. There's a bullshit. So, neither one of those just like stories, that sounds like, man. He's really turning over every Rock to save money from this. This
12:29
bleeding. By the way, I tried doing that. An Ikea desk is significantly cheaper than a door from Home
12:35
Depot. Exactly. I've
12:36
tried doing this. I'd ask is way cheaper and or just like video,
12:40
I've stuff. Yeah, yeah, you can't even like right on them. So I don't know what to make of this story.
12:44
But just sounds like image makes no sense, either. He's lost his mind or there's a masterful PR thing that's like 9,000 IQ, and I can't understand it, or someone just making things up. I don't understand.
12:54
Maybe, maybe all. I think all of those things to be true and exaggeration. About a
12:59
weird thing, he said, because he's lost his mind and makes for good PR.
13:04
Gotcha. And he's a genius, that makes it could be all those things, you know, he could be, he's not dumb but he's a dumbass that's a that's a great line. I saw people call them Elmo Elmo mosque and I thought that was pretty funny but you know, he's
13:14
Going up, we want to do one more. Yeah. But what else you got? All right, let's go with money and happiness, guys. So there was a 2010 paper that said that basically above 70,000 dollars. More money does not make you more happy. Turns out, Mo Money, less problems, because a new study says that that is completely untrue. It starts to flatten a little bit as it goes up, but what do you guys think of this? So here I am pulling this up. So here's what it says Sean. So if you are in the happiest of the unhappiest, 20% does Plateau after reaching,
13:44
Thousand dollars. But after that, if you're not in that group, more money does mean more happiness and and it basically, it goes all the way up. They studied it all the way up to 500 thousand dollars. And they said after that, we really didn't study it much, but up to 500,000 dollars, people do get happier. But that said, the researchers found that the overall emotional effect of more money on a person is small compared to other circumstances, and even compared to a weekend, approximately a four-fold difference in income so 4 times.
14:14
Your income is equal to the effect of a weekend which is kind of funny but that said more money makes you happy. So in this is all like there's this like 2010 study the word said seventy thousand dollars from the beginning. I thought that was the most bullshit study. I've seen this pod so many times that's nonsense. That is absolutely not true. Seventy thousand dollars. My sister when she was like younger lived in New York for seventy thousand dollars. You're basically below the poverty line. That is not happy. So 70,000, not a chance I used to say
14:44
I thought it was at like 250. I actually believed it could be 500 or even more but you get happier. So yeah, I think the studies nonsense, this
14:52
is one of those things like, you know, that might be true. I when I heard this study like that might be true. But go ahead and test for myself. Like I don't know if the Earth is flat around. I don't really have the ability to go out there and check it out. I don't know. You know if sulfur gas is poisonous but I figure. No need to test that. This is one of those scientific claims that I
15:14
Just decided a long time ago. I'm gonna go ahead and check. I'm gonna go ahead and do my own research on this one and and go ahead. Try to go get to go get a bunch of money and see how it feels. And you know what, I'm glad I did because the study was bullshit,
15:26
dude. I got an MRI yesterday and the lady at the front desk was like, alright, that's $750. And she was like, didn't say that she just handed me that she goes, there's a bill today and she showed it to me. She thought that I was gonna like freak out and I was like all right you take Apple pay and I just scanned my card or whatever and I remember thinking like where do I tip? Yeah.
15:45
I remember thinking I am so happy. I'm in a spot. I used to not be able to afford that at all and I'm so happy. I'm in a spot. I call that, you know what, I call that I call that braces money. I'm just gonna be able to swipe my card and get my kid braces and not think twice about it when I was younger. My parents bought me braces, and they told me that it was too Grand. That they had to pay on a credit card. And at the time, they had, like, six thousand dollars. And I remember thinking, like, God damn that sucks, right? That's not, I would be a lot happier. If I had 9 million dollars in the bank as opposed to 9,000,
16:14
There's whatever you guys had. So yeah, money definitely makes any time a rich person
16:18
tells you, that money doesn't make you happy. Just ask them for their money, then it's like, oh, cool. I guess it's useless, right? Okay. Just give me a bunch of it then. All right. Like, you know,
16:28
yeah, dude, and
16:29
let's look at the actions versus the words and a lot of these cases. So, right there,
16:33
I always thought this study was bullshit also, because I wonder how much money the people making the study make. I was always like, yeah, that's what they think, sure. They think that because I want to know how much
16:44
Bias goes into a study when the it's always like researcher
16:47
salary. Yeah. They're at the 1000 happiness. Yeah.
16:53
Or they're like making only 50 and they're like hey, see boss 70,000 but I've always wondered what like the biases are because like, I don't know, I'm haven't even
17:01
wondered. I'm like, this is obvious, this is obviously not true. And, you know, if I get to the finish line and I realize, hey, you know, 5 million and 10 million felt the same. Well, shame on me for going the extra mile.
17:15
You know, another thing. Have you ever tried to read a study? Yeah, dude, the
17:18
tart studies are studies are crazy. Yes, it's hard. I have no idea. And then I'll like, I
17:23
follow all these like smart like a huberman or like these other guys who like breakdown studies. And I'm like, and they'll say, like well this studies actually bullshit for this reason and I'm like, I guess I'll believe you. But I don't like, I can't read this and they'll like, say, like studies that I'm like, well, it said the word studying, it must be true. And they're like, no, no, it's actually way off for this reason and like, their sample size was like eight people. There was arrested
17:44
Or, you know, a bunch of bunch of different things like that because I don't know how to read any of that or there's a chart and it's like the error bars are huge, like yeah, it's that plus or minus, you know, 70,000 plus or minus five hundred thousand like well. Okay, hold on. What's going on here, right? So see, I think science is used as a like a shield for like, you can time jaundice many, many cases and there's good science and there's bad science, and there's week size and the strong science and there's and then there's physics where it's like, you know, empirically true. It's
18:12
but the only thing that I know is three things there's good
18:14
It's there's bad science and I don't know the difference between the two. That's like the only thing. The only true right there. Nice. That's like the only truth that. I know it exists. I'm just
18:25
a little pretty smooth big ol brain. You got that big brain on today. All right. What else we got? That big plane. All right,
18:32
here we go. By the administration. In conjunction of Congress, they're evaluating new law, that would make it possible for companies me band that pose a national security risk. People think this means that they're going to ban Tick-Tock, what do you think? Should they
18:44
Antic talk. I don't know anything about that.
18:46
This is why they pay you the big bucks,
18:50
dude. Like people talk about I don't know anything about China. I don't know what they're doing, you know,
18:59
honestly, I mean, how would I would? I really know the binder so I think that being able to ban something if it's a national security risk. Yeah. I think that's that's fine. That sounds really appropriate. I also by using Tick-Tock a ton, I could totally see
19:14
See how I wouldn't want this in the hands of my enemy. It's like oh the ability to like take in all of my data, my camera roll, turn my microphone, my camera as well as spoon-feed me any amount of any like feed of information based on, you know, a mysterious algorithm that can Surface good stuff. Bad stuff, weird stuff. Misinformation whatever. Like that's a pretty powerful weapon, right? So, so I definitely see the Merit in that now is take, actually a threat, I
19:41
don't know. All right, what's the next one? All right, next one. Let's go.
19:44
Oh with favorite cities, a new poll from a real estate advice website reveals where Americans would move if Money Was No Object where they would move, if any New York Austin's in there, that makes sense also on the list that Las Vegas and at number 9 Baltimore, dude, I'm from st. Louis, I'm from the city of st. Louis, A lot of people don't know this but if you look at what the highest murder rate per 100,000 people, and it's been St. Louis like either, it's usually number one. Sometimes number two for the past 10 years there's like five hundred murders a year st. Louis and Baltimore very similar, that sucks. It sucks. I don't want
20:14
They're not at all. I do understand that. That's weird to
20:17
me once. Why works in the beauty business, I realized that poles rankings lists all bullshit. Just things to get generate clicks links controversy. You know, if I was going to make a list and I made a list that was like, you just nod and you said, yeah, that makes sense. You're not going to share that you're not going to talk about that. I throw Baltimore as the, this fourth, most desired city to live in or whatever, like, put New York, ninth, just make them outraged, guess what? I'm gonna get a lot more clicks, a lot more discussion, lot more controversy, and a lot.
20:44
More backlinks for variety. Oh yeah. So so once you know their incentives, you'll know why these lists are often outrageous, either. They're just paid to put like, you know, things on the top, or the trying to do things that will generate a bunch of chairs. Do you know what state Baltimore's in? Yeah, Baltimore is in
20:59
Maryland. All right. Nice. I didn't think you'd get that. If you Google if you Google bit more low
21:07
course, I know that bolts. Dude, if you Google
21:11
Baltimore and look at the images, very
21:14
They're very unimpressive in. Not not impressed at all. I'm sorry. Baltimore, that Skyline, not interesting. One bit, maybe the, the tourist Association need to work on their SEO. Not not so good. Can we wrap this up at the slap? Fighting one?
21:31
Do the story Sam.
21:32
So, Dana White and the UFC is putting muscle behind power slap league. So, if you guys have not seen this, it's basically, two guys are typically, like, huge fat guys standing at a table smacking each
21:44
Sir, I think they get three times a smack when they get the three times smack each other. I don't know the rules but it seems like someone gets knocked out every slap everything. Right, what are the rules? Is it like the first one knocked out losses or?
21:57
Yeah, it's typically a three to five rounds. They take turns hitting each other in the face with an open hand and the other percentage of stand there take it, they get 60 seconds to recover and then they can earn up to 10 points based on the effectiveness of the slap and the Defenders reaction. That's good. So,
22:14
You know? Dude. This is the
22:16
stupidest thing on Earth. I don't know. So like am I? I'm not a Wolk. Aye, I consider myself right of Center. Maybe I'm getting more awoke. As I get older I'm hating on me Lon and also this slap thing is the stupidest thing on Earth and I'm not going to give it any of my eye barbaric. I'm not gonna give it any of my eyeballs. I'd prefer see, two people in their underwear. Fighting to the death in front of a million people like you have see. But the slap thing, not a
22:39
fan. Yeah, like it to me. Knockouts are like dip, like, you know, I like chips.
22:44
Stamp. But if you take the chips away and it's just dip. Now, I feel like you're not. That's how I feel about this. I'm cool watching a fight. Where does their skill and their defense? There's strategy. When it's literally you have to stand still. Get hit hard as you can by somebody else. Now, you, I'm just, you know, now I'm just eating Barb, which is kind of an, I don't really, but he's
23:03
kind of ridiculous that it's considered. Okay, that we can use a, you can use a, you know, chip as a spoon and with cheese. But when you just use a spoon, as a spoon for that, Cheez-Its we consider two different things that is little weird, isn't
23:14
it?
23:14
The big questions in life that I might spend a whole lifetime trying to wonder why we are the way we are in this way. Now, let me tell you something else. Michael Vick like got booted out of the NFL like, went to jail for a dog fighting ring. Colin Kaepernick. Can't get a job because he didn't took a knee during the national anthem to
23:32
protest. Those two are not even remotely. The same thing, by the way. I'm
23:35
just saying. People have got a lot more punished for a lot less than this. How is Dana White? Not like, how is he not canceled for different years is this?
23:44
Legitimate thing that they're allowed to do kind of insane to me that like you could get away with doing this and not others. I guess it's because they're consenting adults. And that's, that's the line. I guess. Anything above that line works. I don't know. That sounds a little
23:59
little iffy to. I think this is so stupid. I'm not going to give it. I try not to give it my attention. I can't stand it. I think it's really dumb and they're all, like, not gonna lie. I watch the trailer. I was
24:07
heavily entertained by it. So you know, just from the
24:09
trailer. It's kind of like there's a subreddit called watch people die and it was like videos of people killing
24:14
Solves and it was huge and people were obsessed with it and then they deleted it. And I remember thinking that's a good idea to delete that and yet it was really hard. Not to go to that subreddit. It's like it's it was impossible. Like when you see it, when I would see it come up, I'm like, oh my God, this is horrible. I cannot watch this and I would have too. And I had my stop myself from my clearance of that
24:35
stuff. Let's finish with a little show recommendation. Have you watched physical 100 on
24:38
that you keep telling me to watch it? No. Oh my
24:41
God. Everybody needs to go watch the show and I'm gonna warn you. It's a
24:44
Weird show if you just described it to me. I
24:46
wish that the Watcher Ian Netflix thing in real life,
24:48
right? It's good games in real life. Yeah, kind of. So, basically, here's here's why it's amazing. So the premise of the show is they got 100 athletes of different types. So, bodybuilders MMA guys, boxers women men, small, large gymnasts, Ice Climbers. Luge people from the Olympics and they put them all together and they walk in. And it's basically like we're going to see, like, who is the overall, what is the best body? What is the perfect body?
25:15
Is it this guy or is it this girl or is it this guy? And and so I'd like the very first like you know competition they have is basically there's a ball in the middle of a mud pit. It's like Whoever has this ball at the end of three minutes wins and it'll be guy verse girl it'll be giant bodybuilder verse time. There's no weight class and do nothing and they go there. But they're but the best part is it doesn't have this American tackiness like slap fighting, or Ranch like Koreans. Don't eat that shit. They don't do that stuff. All these people here.
25:44
Three reasons why it's amazing number one, they got legit the best athletes. So they literally got like the guy from the World's Strongest Man their Olympians gold medalists. Like their most famous MMA fighters. Like, they got their most famous athletes to go do this reality show. It's like, if LeBron was competing against Patrick Mahomes versus competing against Serena Williams, but like, they actually, and they not only to show up, they actually gave a shit like, they were, like, I really want to win this. And so, they weren't just there for like reality drama. That's the first thing. Second thing.
26:14
They play with honor so it would be like you the winner of the first round. Gets to pick. Who their opponent going to be the second round. It's like, oh well, you know, an American would just be like, I can beat this person, so I'm going to choose the weakest one and I'm gonna do that. And then what they would do is, they would go to whoever they felt was the strongest, I would be the most honorable to compete against and they'd be like it would be my honor to compete against you and the whole thing is done with subtitles. I was right. I do. So it's like it's all in Korean, but then you're listening on a dubbed thing which is hilarious, is even some guys that speak English, they dumped them. Also, in more English
26:44
It's hilarious. So so they that's how the show works and they just eliminate people to the get to the very end, the final winner of the physical 100. And so you, this is like, you will love the show once you get in, you get to others
26:58
which body type is
26:59
going to give it away. Or this is, this is the show, right? So like this is a giant spoiler but you know, you got to have it. All you got to have attributes, you gotta have the speed. You're going to have the strength, you got to have the endurance. You got to have the dexterity got to have the agility you.
27:14
Got to have it all because they test you in all these different ways. The show is amazing. You got to do what I do is like 100
27:21
Here's the other thing that's great about it, they don't really edit it like in an American show. They'll be like the start of the competition, then it's like montage and then it's like the big fight, they'll spend five minutes on the big argument, the ending, whereas with this, it's like these contestants have one hour to pull this like 10,000 tons, ship as a team to from one side of the room to the other go. And that is show the whole thing in its entirety. It's even a little bit boring sometimes but it's kind of like watching National Geographic.
27:50
Like where you just get really into it like planet Earth we're like, ooh, is the lizard going to get the anti? Gotta watch and it's gonna just happy. I'm gonna watch the whole thing play out, you know, with no nose, jump cuts and it's such a refreshing change from like Tick-Tock and like these other things that are like just such surface level stuff.
28:07
Dude, I'm I'm looking at the winner. We're not, we're not that
28:10
different. Are we? Well, don't get away. You'd be surprised why this person want it? It's pretty crazy. So anyways. Yeah, you got to watch the show. It's kind of amazing.
28:19
All right, that's it. That's the pod.
28:21
I'm gonna go watch
28:21
it. I feel like I could rule the world. I know I could be what I want to travel. Never looking back.
