WE REACT: The My First Muscle Results ARE IN

Shaan Puri 0:00 All right, two weeks ago we put out a challenge. For all the dorks who listen to this podcast, we did a fitness challenge. It was th- we called it My First Muscle. It was 100 burpees, 100 pushups, and 100 squats as fast as you can, 100 times 100 times 100, that's a million. And we put it out there, and we've had thousands of people do it. Uh, they've s- a lot of people have sent out videos, tweeted out videos to us, so we're gonna react to them.

Sam Parr 0:25 But we're not just, uh, we're not just gonna react. We also have stuff to give out.

Shaan Puri 0:29 Yeah, we're naming the winners. So we offered prizes. Our friends at, uh, Plunge decided to give away a cold plunge to the fastest male and the fastest female winners. We also have Nike Strength that offered a bunch of exercise equipment and gear to the third, fourth, fifth place winners, which for us is gonna be who entertained us, who has, you know, the best costume, the funniest video, the most creativity, the most inspirational. And so we're gonna go through a bunch of the submissions right now and, uh, see which ones we like. Who's the winner? [upbeat music]

Sam Parr 1:04 How fast did you do it?

Shaan Puri 1:07 So I did it in 34 minutes and 40 seconds.

Sam Parr 1:10 Which at first you did it in 45 minutes as a test, and then-

Shaan Puri 1:13 Yeah [laughs]

Sam Parr 1:13 ... so you improved 10 minutes. I predicted that I was gonna be, uh, a hair under 20 minutes. I got, like, 20 minutes and, like, 15 seconds. It was really hard. It was really hard.

Shaan Puri 1:24 Yeah, it was very diff- [laughs] it was very difficult. I like the challenge 'cause no matter what level of fitness you have, it's just super hard for you at, like, if you're really fit, going fast makes it harder. If you're not fit, just finishing it makes it hard. And so shout out to everybody who did it. If you did it, you're the real winner in my heart, but, um-

Sam Parr 1:39 I'm shocked how fast people were. I thought... So I, I guessed my time correctly. I said that was gonna be the 90th percentile. Not even close.

Shaan Puri 1:46 [laughs]

Sam Parr 1:46 People were going so fast.

Shaan Puri 1:49 Could you have gone faster?

Sam Parr 1:51 Yeah, I think, uh, so what we said in the rules was the only rules were you had to do it, and you had to do nips to the ground, meaning for your pushups and your burpees, you had to touch the ground. But then besides that, we said nothing else, and the fastest people, it appears as though they broke it up to 10, uh, 10, like, rep increments, and that was probably the right move. I did it in three, uh, 33 rep increments. That was probably wrong.

Shaan Puri 2:14 Yeah, form is definitely, it's the hot topic here. It's the debatable thing. Uh, nobody's for- form is perfect. I don't even know what perfect form would've been, so we're just gonna do our best and see what happens. All right, let's watch some of these videos. So this guy, Ben Ferguson, and see, this guy had an advantage. He is a h- videographer. So first of all, he wore a weighted vest. So already this guy's this c- this guy's trying to win the cool points. He's not trying to win the speed prize, but I respect that. He's up in a mountain somewhere.

Sam Parr 2:42 Yeah, do you know how much trub- trouble I had just setting up the tripod? This guy's got the drone following him up a mountain. [laughs] Oh, wow.

Shaan Puri 2:58 Wow, look at this. We should just hire this guy.

Sam Parr 3:04 It's also harder for the tall people. D- dude-

Shaan Puri 3:06 Yeah, this guy looks like he's 7'8". [laughs]

Sam Parr 3:08 Did he, did he say his time?

Shaan Puri 3:10 Uh, let's see. His time, no, he didn't, he didn't even say... Oh, see, see this guy, he knows what's up. He didn't say his time. Instead, "#beautifullydone." [laughs] Like we always say-

Sam Parr 3:19 All right

Shaan Puri 3:19 ... it's the challenge, just beautifully done, and I gotta admit, this was beautifully done. Inspirational-

Sam Parr 3:26 Dude, he didn't even do it

Shaan Puri 3:27 ... motivational.

Sam Parr 3:28 He didn't even do it.

Shaan Puri 3:29 Oh, he, no, he did have the time. 16, uh, he said, "For the record, my time was 16 minutes and three seconds. Hoping for 15 minutes, but I'll take it." So [laughs] okay, so he filmed this epic one, and then he just went to his backyard and did it for time also [laughs] separately.

Sam Parr 3:42 All right, that is, uh, eight and a half out of 10.

Shaan Puri 3:45 Eight, eight and a half? What kind of, what kind of Russian judge are you? What's gonna be a nine? This guy filmed it with a drone on a mountain with a weighted vest.

Sam Parr 3:52 It was the first one we watched. I can't go too high.

Shaan Puri 3:54 [laughs]

Shaan Puri 3:56 All right, let's do, um... Okay, this guy is amazing. Did you see this guy? So Dustin came in strong with the Sam Parr costume. [laughs]

Sam Parr 4:07 Well, yeah, all right, so there's context. When I was 21 years old, I had a hot dog, uh, stand, and I ha- these, I'm holding a sign that says, "All beef dogs." That was my sign. I look extra fat in that photo. There was wind blowing, I think, and my tank top, like, is, is-

Shaan Puri 4:22 The wind. [laughs]

Sam Parr 4:23 Dude, I don't think I was that thick, but yeah, I look a little thick, and he copied my sign exactly, and he looks like, he looks like me, y- you know, a little-

Shaan Puri 4:31 He found the blue, he found the blue tank top, got the all beef dogs. [laughs]

Sam Parr 4:35 I look like Bobby Hill.

Shaan Puri 4:37 This guy, I mean, the costume, he's already an instant contender for top, top, uh, top costume here. What do you think?

Sam Parr 4:43 That was pretty good. Uh, that was pretty good. That was a deep cut. I'm shocked he found that photo.

Shaan Puri 4:49 All right, um, you're gonna love this one. This guy, just a hero. So this guy's 50 years old.

Sam Parr 4:56 Shredded.

Shaan Puri 4:57 Shredded, but also kinda naturally shredded, not like-

Sam Parr 5:01 Achievable shredded

Shaan Puri 5:02 ... but that's... Yeah, not like, oh, that's strange. What do you take? Like, that's not my first question.

Sam Parr 5:06 Yeah, yeah.

Shaan Puri 5:06 What are you taking?

Sam Parr 5:07 I don't suspect that he's on TRT.

Shaan Puri 5:10 Also, [laughs] somebody tweeted out, they go, they go, "Well, this guy's doing it in front of the fucking Parthenon. Like, what do you want me to do?" [laughs] He's, like, in front of the Colosseum over here.

Sam Parr 5:20 And he did a fast time, 15 minutes.

Shaan Puri 5:22 Very good.

Sam Parr 5:24 And he's, he's 50.

Shaan Puri 5:25 Also, #IbeatSam.

Sam Parr 5:26 He did. He beat me by five minutes.

Shaan Puri 5:28 That's amazing.

Sam Parr 5:28 He crushed me. Dude, all these CrossFit guys annihilated us.

Shaan Puri 5:33 Do you think at 50... Are you gonna look like this guy at 50?

Sam Parr 5:37 I think I'm gonna look better.

Shaan Puri 5:38 [laughs] Well, he beat your time now. [laughs]

Sam Parr 5:42 [laughs]

Shaan Puri 5:43 He's [laughs] 15 years older than you, but all right. Okay, so let me just... I would like to talk to you about CJ Gustafson, okay? CJ Gustafson. Let's take a look at this guy's profile picture. Seems like a average looking guy.

Sam Parr 5:58 Yeah, he's an accountant I would bet.

Shaan Puri 6:00 If you sa- if you just showed me, uh, 10 people in a lineup with this guy as one of them, would I have said, "Yeah, that guy's really fit"? Yeah, that guy could beat me in a race. No way

Sam Parr 6:09 What's he look like when he popped that top?

Shaan Puri 6:11 Dude, look at this. Look at the delta between his actual fitness and body versus his profile picture.

Sam Parr 6:21 Yeah, he looks good.

Shaan Puri 6:24 I mean, this guy needs a new profile photo.

Sam Parr 6:27 What's he... Let me see a f- I think I, I need a full frontal

Shaan Puri 6:28 We need a frontal. We need full frontal

Sam Parr 6:29 Yeah, [laughs] I need full frontal. [laughs]

Shaan Puri 6:31 Is that what full frontal means? [laughs] All right, he didn't give us a full frontal-

Sam Parr 6:34 Yeah

Shaan Puri 6:34 ... but the guy did the whole challenge in 10 minutes and 17 seconds, which is insanely fast. Almost as fast as the winner, I think. And by the way, this guy is like a, he's like a finance guy, startup CFO.

Sam Parr 6:46 Yeah, I looked at his picture and I said he was an accountant. I wasn't too... We were in the ballpark.

Shaan Puri 6:49 You know what he should say? Instead of, "Opinions are not my own, not investment advice," he should also say-

Sam Parr 6:54 Face is not-

Shaan Puri 6:54 ... "Not what my body looks like"

Sam Parr 6:55 Yeah. [laughs]

Shaan Puri 6:55 Yeah, face is not con- not indicative of body

Sam Parr 6:57 Face not indicative of bod. [laughs]

Shaan Puri 7:00 [laughs]

Shaan Puri 7:00 CJ, you're a sleeper, man. You, you, you have it going on. All right, let's look at some of the fast guys. Um, so first of all, this guy didn't win, but he kinda won my heart a little bit. So this guy [laughs]

Sam Parr 7:16 He's got a thick neck.

Shaan Puri 7:18 Just, just a stud on a beach.

Sam Parr 7:20 He's, uh-

Shaan Puri 7:20 Says he's in Brazil. He says he's in Brazil. In his opening speech, you know, he's not like, he's not like sucking up to us, you know what I mean? He knows.

Sam Parr 7:28 Is, is he American?

Shaan Puri 7:29 He, he's not like, "Hey man, big fan. Love the pod. You guys inspire..." None of that. He just says, "I'm out here on the beach in Brazil, gonna do the work, gonna do the challenge," and then he hits us with the, "Let's fuck," which is just the subtle nod that, "Yeah, I'm a big fan, I listen to the pod, but I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna lay it on thick here." And then the guy, in the sand-

Sam Parr 7:51 What-

Shaan Puri 7:51 ... explosive-

Sam Parr 7:52 What time did he get?

Shaan Puri 7:52 ... is a word that comes to mind.

Sam Parr 7:53 That is explosive. What time did he get?

Shaan Puri 7:55 11:40, in sand.

Sam Parr 7:57 Yeah, that's a pretty good time, and he l- looks like he's doing it, perfect form.

Shaan Puri 8:01 Uh, all right, so this guy's like a f- like a runner-up-ish. 11 minutes 40 seconds, in the sand, extra difficulty. Uh, this guy, eight minutes and 15 seconds to do the challenge. Alex Baquera. What do you think of this CrossFit burpee thing they do, where when they jump they look like a dead bug instead of, like, jumping up-

Sam Parr 8:20 Yeah, they have-

Shaan Puri 8:20 ... with their hands up

Sam Parr 8:21 ... they have, and they kinda have duck feet. I think that's the way to go. That's, like, kinda how you gotta, like, do-

Shaan Puri 8:25 It's definitely, like, optimal, but eh, I don't know. Don't love that, but insane time for this guy. Eight minutes 15 seconds. Are you ready to see the winner, Sam?

Sam Parr 8:34 Who can beat eight minutes and 15 seconds?

Shaan Puri 8:37 When I show you this guy, I'm just gonna pause the video. All right.

Sam Parr 8:41 That's a man

Shaan Puri 8:42 Pause the top.

Sam Parr 8:42 That's a man. [laughs]

Shaan Puri 8:46 Full head of hair on the chest.

Sam Parr 8:48 [laughs] He's got a chest beard. That is a man. [laughs]

Shaan Puri 8:53 Just shredded.

Sam Parr 8:54 Drink it up. [laughs]

Shaan Puri 8:56 Using Comic Sans font or something, "What up, Shaan and Sam," in yellow. All right, I already, I'm intrigued. Doing it in socks, no shoes. Optimal. Doing it on a turf field, no resistance, not like the sand guy, right? This guy wanted to win. He also looks like he's was built for this challenge, in that he's got very short arms. Incredibly short arms.

Sam Parr 9:16 So this guy got eight minutes and what?

Shaan Puri 9:19 Eight minutes and six seconds.

Sam Parr 9:21 Dude, look at those, look at those pipes he has.

Shaan Puri 9:23 He even calls out, "Luckily I, luckily I have short arms and I can do the burpees fast." So he does the burpees. He's drifting away, off-camera. But he also puts his, uh, his story on here. So he says, "Just graduated from business school in Canada. I run a student painting business. I'm trying to break the franchise record. The franchise record is one million, so I'm literally trying to make my first million this year." He just ties it in. "I listen to MFM in the car while I'm driving to sales and checking in on the crews. He had a cold tub and he broke it." Pulling on our heartstrings. This guy had it all. He had the time, he had the story, he tied in with the pod, and he's got the heartache of, uh, n- of his broken cold plunge. Also, Will Braun, like a Usain Bolt style name. I just love it. All right, so if that's the fastest guy, are you ready to see the fastest girl?

Sam Parr 10:08 That was the fastest guy? That, the hairy guy?

Shaan Puri 10:10 Number one. H- he wins a cold plunge, all right?

Sam Parr 10:13 Oh, you said he was number two, so that guy's number one.

Shaan Puri 10:16 That guy's number one. Number two was-

Sam Parr 10:18 So-

Shaan Puri 10:18 ... uh, was the Jack Bradley

Sam Parr 10:19 ... so that guy gets the plunge.

Shaan Puri 10:20 That guy got the plunge.

Sam Parr 10:21 Brunyan. Or what's his name? Bunyan?

Shaan Puri 10:24 [laughs] Braun.

Sam Parr 10:25 Bruni?

Shaan Puri 10:26 Will Braun.

Sam Parr 10:26 Braun. Will [laughs]

Shaan Puri 10:28 Forever known as Brunyan.

Sam Parr 10:29 [laughs] Will Brunyan, congratulations, my friend. R- time to get cold.

Shaan Puri 10:35 This guy, Matthew Price, who's got, like, a water polo picture here, so you know this guy's fit. Him and his girlfriend, opposite sides of the world, they did it, like, over Zoom or something like that.

Sam Parr 10:44 That's awesome.

Shaan Puri 10:45 He got nine minutes 52 seconds, she got 10 minutes and two seconds. So fast. And he's got his, uh, he's got his video, he's got her video. They did it together. So they were very close. She was, I think, third place amongst women, so congratulations to-

Sam Parr 10:59 Did she do-

Shaan Puri 10:59 ... Rebecca

Sam Parr 10:59 ... did she do real pushups?

Shaan Puri 11:01 Yeah, so what? Uh, well, y- yeah, she did not on the knees-

Sam Parr 11:04 Wow

Shaan Puri 11:05 ... a lot of pushups, if that's what you're asking. So now Jenna Stark came in with technically the fastest time, but we got a little controversy here on the form. Okay, so she's a CrossFitter, and check out the form here. So she's doing pushups, but she's hitting the ground with every pushup. Like, she's-

Sam Parr 11:25 That's, but that's not against the rules-

Shaan Puri 11:27 Like-

Sam Parr 11:27 ... that we set

Shaan Puri 11:27 ... you said nips to the ground, but that doesn't mean you, like, a pushup, you don't let your body go at the bottom.

Sam Parr 11:33 That is pretty funny. [laughs] She's just like-

Shaan Puri 11:35 She-

Sam Parr 11:35 ... "I'm just gonna fucking fall." [laughs]

Shaan Puri 11:37 [laughs] And so she, she, but, I mean, she's very fit, and she did her burpees extremely well. So eight minutes and 58 seconds, which is insanely fast. Now the-

Sam Parr 11:46 That's so fast

Shaan Puri 11:47 ... here's, here's, I think, the, the challenge. So she's-

Sam Parr 11:49 What was the fastest guy for the time? Or the fastest, uh, guy's time?

Shaan Puri 11:52 Sh- eight oh six.

Sam Parr 11:53 Got it. Wow.

Shaan Puri 11:55 So she's 50 seconds slower than the fastest guy. Now, she invites a friend over. Sh- friend doesn't even have Twitter. Friend does the challenge. Friend does nine minutes and 44 seconds. So definitely slower, about a minute slower, but look at this form ... perfect push-ups.

Sam Parr 12:11 Dude, Jenna Stark just lost it for herself.

Shaan Puri 12:14 By submitting her friend.

Sam Parr 12:16 Yeah.

Shaan Puri 12:18 With friends like this, who needs enemies?

Sam Parr 12:19 Well, yeah, she just [laughs] she blew it.

Shaan Puri 12:22 [laughs]

Sam Parr 12:23 That's great form.

Shaan Puri 12:24 This is great form. And so I kinda feel like it should be Jenna Stark's friend who wins.

Sam Parr 12:30 She doesn't have Twitter. How are we even gonna contact her? We're just gonna be like-

Shaan Puri 12:33 She also may not listen to the podcast.

Sam Parr 12:34 Yeah, well-

Shaan Puri 12:34 She might just be a CrossFitter-

Sam Parr 12:36 Well-

Shaan Puri 12:36 [laughs] ... that, that Jenna went and told to do this challenge.

Sam Parr 12:38 We've gotta s- We're, we're gonna send it to Jenna, and Jenna's not gonna say, like, she's not gonna give it to her friend.

Shaan Puri 12:44 Yeah, okay. So I think what we do, we send it to... By the way, they did it in the same gym, I think. So we're just gonna put it in Jenna's gym, and then from there they can share the tub, they can split the tub, they can fight over the tub, they can CrossFit over the tub, whatever th- whatever they need to do.

Sam Parr 12:58 All right.

Shaan Puri 12:59 All right, so that is the fastest female time, so congratulations to Jenna Stark and your friend. You guys get to share the plunge. Those are the top male and female winners of the challenge.

Sam Parr 13:09 That's amazing. Uh, so to the Paul Bunyan guy and Jen Stark-

Shaan Puri 13:14 [laughs]

Sam Parr 13:16 [laughs] Congratulations.

Shaan Puri 13:18 All right. [laughs] Let's now try to find our honorary winners, costumes, creativity, whatever else it is. So-

Sam Parr 13:24 Well, well, what, what are the criteria? Do we have three to give away?

Shaan Puri 13:27 It's just who we're most impressed by. We did say costume. We did say creativity, and I think we said most inspirational as well.

Sam Parr 13:36 The Rudy Award.

Shaan Puri 13:37 The Rudy Award. So that's what we're looking for. I would like to submit a nominee. This is Furious Steve. This guy rocks up to the challenge in jeans and boots with a rockstar energy, and proceeds to just do perfect form burpees, hands up with the hop, and just crushes it.

Sam Parr 14:00 How fast?

Shaan Puri 14:00 Can you believe this?

Sam Parr 14:02 What was his time?

Shaan Puri 14:02 This is the real Paul Bunyan. Uh, 10 minutes and 42 seconds. Super fast.

Sam Parr 14:08 Dude, that's awesome. He... I wonder if he's got, like, a dip in.

Shaan Puri 14:10 [laughs] And now technically he says he only did 98 burpees, forgot two burpees, but also honesty. A, a lost, a lost trait in our generation.

Sam Parr 14:22 Yeah.

Shaan Puri 14:22 This guy, he came in so honest. Didn't speed up the video. Just said, "Here's every rep. Take it or leave it, sucka." [laughs]

Sam Parr 14:30 Dude, is he wearing work boots?

Shaan Puri 14:33 I'm surprised this guy has a yoga mat.

Sam Parr 14:34 Why is he doing this [laughs] on a yoga mat?

Shaan Puri 14:36 [laughs] I feel like th-

Sam Parr 14:39 Why, why does he own a yoga mat?

Shaan Puri 14:41 This is the fashion it was on, like cowhide. [laughs]

Sam Parr 14:43 Or just brick. I'm shocked he owns this. All right, pretty good. What else?

Shaan Puri 14:47 I mean, that's a contender. Okay, next one I wanna submit to you, there's a guy... Okay, so this girl who did it with a broken leg.

Sam Parr 14:53 At first I thought it was a one-legged lady-

Shaan Puri 14:56 [laughs]

Sam Parr 14:56 ... which would've been way cooler. I... This is who I saw. I saw this lady. She looks like she's got surgery or something on her ACL, and she did it in one of these long casts where you gotta keep your leg straight. I-

Shaan Puri 15:07 I mean, sh- to do this, so she says, "I'm two months post-surgery." She's doing, what are these called? Pistol squats. She's doing one-legged pistol squats.

Sam Parr 15:17 That's hard. Did she do 100 of 'em? Did she do the whole thing?

Shaan Puri 15:19 That is so hard. Oh my God, yes, she did, she did the whole thing. She did the whole thing in 18 minutes.

Sam Parr 15:24 She's gonna have an un-

Shaan Puri 15:24 She beat your time with a broken leg doing one-legged pistol squats. [laughs]

Sam Parr 15:28 Dude, she's gonna be uneven when she gets back walking with two legs. She's gonna be walking-

Shaan Puri 15:31 Yeah

Sam Parr 15:31 ... in circles.

Shaan Puri 15:32 Yeah. Joke's on you, Abby.

Sam Parr 15:33 [laughs] Yeah. [laughs]

Shaan Puri 15:36 [laughs]

Sam Parr 15:37 I'd rather have two weak legs than one strong one.

Shaan Puri 15:39 I mean, that was crazy. Um-

Sam Parr 15:41 That's pretty good

Shaan Puri 15:41 ... shout out to our girl Steph Smith. Did you see Ste- Steph's submission? So-

Sam Parr 15:45 Yeah, I, uh-

Shaan Puri 15:46 ... friend of the pod-

Sam Parr 15:47 I've asked Steph

Shaan Puri 15:48 ... full-time favorite guest.

Sam Parr 15:48 I go, "Steph, do you ever exercise?" She was like, "Nah, never."

Shaan Puri 15:51 [laughs]

Sam Parr 15:51 She... Steph's, [laughs] Steph's not an exercise fan, and she still did this.

Shaan Puri 15:56 Yeah. Knee pushups, whatever you gotta do. 21 minutes. Uh, amazing. And did it in your old-school The Hustle T-shirt too, to get a little nostalgic for you. All right, another conte- another shout-out we gotta give is to Shiel. You know, there's a lot of VCs who talk big game. Shiel, with the most assets under management of anybody who completed the challenge. [laughs]

Sam Parr 16:16 Dude-

Shaan Puri 16:16 The biggest-

Sam Parr 16:17 ... she crushed me

Shaan Puri 16:17 ... most big-time VC. Now, gotta say, form was atrocious, okay? So, you know, the... I mean, I don't know if you can see it here.

Sam Parr 16:25 Did he even squat?

Shaan Puri 16:27 So the... This is the pushup form. Shiel, you're gonna get hurt doing this. [laughs] This, this is dangerous. But-

Sam Parr 16:33 This means doing the worm

Shaan Puri 16:34 ... shout out, [laughs] shout out to, for you to, for you doing it. 15 minutes. Uh, did it with his brother. And then he's like, "By the way, this is my brother. Uh, somebody should date this guy," and then puts up a Google Doc-

Sam Parr 16:47 [laughs]

Shaan Puri 16:48 ... about his brother. He says he's 34, hetero and monogamous, 5'5", seeking LTR. What's LTR stand for? Long-term relationship?

Sam Parr 16:57 Long-term relationship.

Shaan Puri 16:57 Marriage and kids. He's plant-based. I mean, what's not to love? So shout out to him. I hope he, uh, finds somebody from this video. That would be-

Sam Parr 17:05 Shiel lives in San Francisco. He doesn't even have room for weight equipment, so-

Shaan Puri 17:09 [laughs]

Sam Parr 17:11 ... we're not gonna give it to him. We can't give it to him.

Shaan Puri 17:13 [laughs] Well, I give him props. I give him-

Sam Parr 17:15 Oh, yeah, he can have a prop

Shaan Puri 17:16 ... some of my respect. Um-

Sam Parr 17:18 But not a barbell

Shaan Puri 17:18 ... all right, let's see. Let's who else, who else we got. Okay, there was a guy, the guy deleted his tweet, but I'm just gonna say it out loud. Did you see the guy who every set put on a new article of clothing, and by the end was wearing, like, 50 T-shirts? [laughs]

Sam Parr 17:33 Uh, no. Why would he delete that?

Shaan Puri 17:35 [laughs] I don't know. I think because there was, like, a gap between when he submitted his and when we announced the winners or gave any sort of feedback, and I think he kind of got embarrassed. It's like when you're, you, you have your hand out for the high five, and then you realize you're gonna get-

Sam Parr 17:48 Yeah

Shaan Puri 17:48 ... left hanging, and then you gotta, like, pretend it was something else. I think that's what he did. He just deleted the tweet. But John Brown, I loved that video. I couldn't... I mean, just a hilarious, creative way to do it. Put a... The guy was wearing, like, 16 cardigans doing burpees. It was insane. This kid-

Sam Parr 18:02 I wanna, I wanna-

Shaan Puri 18:03 ... 13 years old in Vietnam. You can't hear this, by the way. He's playing Apple Bottom Jeans, uh, the song right here to start this off. So the rotating dollar sign What a touch

Sam Parr 18:16 Why does he have a skull at the bottom?

Shaan Puri 18:18 Why does he have what?

Sam Parr 18:19 Is that a skeleton head, a skull at the bottom?

Shaan Puri 18:22 Yeah, this is, that's his brand, dude. When you were 13, what were you doing on your-

Sam Parr 18:25 [laughs]

Shaan Puri 18:25 ... MySpace and Zynga pages? Like-

Sam Parr 18:27 Yeah, I mean, Stone Cold Steve Austin. I guess that's the, it's kind of similar vein

Shaan Puri 18:30 So 13-year-old kid in Vietnam completing the challenge in 22 minutes with a dog walking around. Shout out to this guy. I like this guy, Mormon. So this guy ticked all the boxes, right? Everybody's got a type. He knows our type. So he said-

Sam Parr 18:43 This was good

Shaan Puri 18:43 ... he d- he does the challenge. Now here's how you do it in a smart way, right? So he says, uh, "What do you get when you cross a brain, a wolf, and a dinosaur? This guy." And then he starts telling his story. "I'm 26 years old. I'm from Utah. Yes, Shaan, I'm a Mormon. I'm an avid CrossFitter. I'm figuring out what I'm gonna do in my life," blah, blah, blah. And then he starts talking about his businesses. He's got the Wolf Jack. He's got this other business. And so he just tells us his story while he's doing the stuff in the background. I thought this was clever. Nicely done.

Sam Parr 19:09 Yeah, I thought this one was good.

Shaan Puri 19:09 And a very fast time, nine minutes and four seconds.

Sam Parr 19:12 Wow.

Shaan Puri 19:13 So love this one. So Alison B., she gets on here, and she's like, "Hey, guys. Love the pod. I'm not gonna win." I was like, "Okay." "I'm not gonna win. I'm terrible. But I just want a job, either with you guys or with Tyler from Beehive. [laughs] That's what I want. I'm a..." She's like, "I'm an upstanding professional. I get stuff done, and I just wanna work with cool people doing interesting things." And here, and then she's like, "Okay, and now watch me die." And then she does the challenge. So I-

Sam Parr 19:42 Are you on your Twitter right now? You should-

Shaan Puri 19:44 I DM'd her. I said, "Send me the resume. I, uh, uh, I might have a role for you. And if not me, then we'll pass it along."

Sam Parr 19:50 [laughs]

Shaan Puri 19:50 Um, all right, what else we got? This guy, not inspirational to me. This guy, jealousy inducing. Josh does it in 11 minutes and 47 seconds with a 20 mi- with a 20-pound weight vest on the whole time.

Sam Parr 20:03 Dude, he works at the Ni- the company that's giving us the weight stuff.

Shaan Puri 20:06 Exactly. Exactly.

Sam Parr 20:07 So-

Shaan Puri 20:07 He can't win. You're disqualified, Josh, but you OB'd.

Sam Parr 20:09 And he's l- basically a professional athlete.

Shaan Puri 20:12 Yeah. If you work at Nike Gear, you're not gonna win the Nike Gear. These people in Mexico did it. Uh, beautiful house. That's all I just wanted to say.

Sam Parr 20:20 [laughs]

Shaan Puri 20:20 This was-

Sam Parr 20:21 Inspirational, like, uh, aspirational [laughs]

Shaan Puri 20:24 Like Pinterest. Yeah, aspirational. I think they got it wrong. [laughs] Okay, this guy basically created a whole script. Did you watch this video?

Sam Parr 20:31 Yes. Uh, he was a, an early submitter too.

Shaan Puri 20:35 S- cinematic, artistic, story. Guy's eating pizza. He's listening to the pod. He hears about the challenge, and then he loads it up, loads up the coffee, starts doing it, does the whole challenge. I think it's 16 minutes, does the whole challenge, but very well done. This guy's a videographer. Somebody should hire him. Alphonse.

Sam Parr 20:58 I think it's gotta go so far to the, to the broken leg lady.

Shaan Puri 21:01 Yeah. So inspirational, we're gonna go broken leg woman who did it with pistol squats. Congratulations, you are the winner of the Nike Gear. The best costume, oh, I gotta show you my vote for best costume. So best costume, here's the contenders. There's the guy who did the all-beef hot dogs. There's the guy who did it in the boots and the jeans. And then I gotta give you one more. This guy. Do you see this guy?

Sam Parr 21:25 Man, that's pretty good. Is he smoking a cig?

Shaan Puri 21:27 He's smoking a cig, cowboy hat with the Manifest Cowboys handwritten thing. Goes out there also with, like, a fucking snakeskin bathrobe or something and his boxers. Does the whole thing out in the country. I mean, come on.

Sam Parr 21:44 Yeah.

Shaan Puri 21:44 This guy's gotta win, right?

Sam Parr 21:45 All right. So h- uh, but the jeans guy did it really fast. How fast did this guy do it in?

Shaan Puri 21:51 This guy did it in, uh, 14 to 17 minutes in attempt one.

Sam Parr 21:57 14. Who do you think would use the weights more?

Shaan Puri 21:59 [laughs] Who needs it more?

Sam Parr 22:03 Yeah, like who, who-

Shaan Puri 22:04 The, the... Okay, the guy who did it in the boots and the jeans, y- that guy's chopping wood. He's all natural the way he's doing it.

Sam Parr 22:12 So you think that this guy gets it?

Shaan Puri 22:14 I think this guy deserves it.

Sam Parr 22:15 All right, cool.

Shaan Puri 22:16 I think he deserves it.

Sam Parr 22:17 What, what's his name?

Shaan Puri 22:17 Best costume goes out to Rhett Porter, the Manifest Cowboy. I think also we need to get this, we need to turn this exact thing into a shirt.

Sam Parr 22:26 That's an awesome one.

Shaan Puri 22:27 His handwriting. We're, we're gonna print this on a shirt. Um, okay, so Rhett Porter-

Sam Parr 22:30 We'll-

Shaan Puri 22:30 ... you are the, the winner of the best costume. And then what's the last one we need? Most creative, best video.

Sam Parr 22:35 Yes. And we already saw a couple pretty good ones.

Shaan Puri 22:38 So who do you think? I, I say it's either Alphonse, the pizza guy, or the guy running up the mountain with the drone footage.

Sam Parr 22:44 I think the first drone footage guy. What do you think?

Shaan Puri 22:48 I'm good with the drone footage. It's epic.

Sam Parr 22:50 It is.

Shaan Puri 22:50 Most creative video. I, I think, I think you gotta give it to him.

Sam Parr 22:54 I think we have to give-

Shaan Puri 22:54 So congratulations to Ben Ferg for your winning Nike Gear as well. First M- my first muscle challenge, doing it with the drone footage up on a mountain with the weighted vest, cinematic, artistic, inspirational, David Goggins. The David, he is the David Goggins of the MFM community now.

Sam Parr 23:11 [laughs]

Shaan Puri 23:11 Congratulations to all the winners. Thank you for doing it. I'm gonna post my video, by the way. I just edited it. I'm gonna post my video on my Twitter as well of me doing it in three, four minutes.

Sam Parr 23:19 Yours was good. You did it with your mother. Did your mother do the whole thing?

Shaan Puri 23:22 No, she did 40, uh, she did, she did 100 squats and 40 of the, uh, knee pushups, and then she did no burpees.

Sam Parr 23:30 I th-

Shaan Puri 23:30 She's 65. She's like, "I'm not doing a burpee."

Sam Parr 23:32 I think Mom needs to man up a little bit.

Shaan Puri 23:33 [laughs] M- Mom needs to dad up.

Sam Parr 23:37 Yeah. [laughs] I think Ma- I think we gotta teach Mom how to do a burpee, eh? [laughs] One that'll let her... That's not gonna cut it. [laughs]

Shaan Puri 23:44 She immediately, halfway through, just started cleaning up my gym.

Sam Parr 23:46 [laughs]

Shaan Puri 23:46 She's like, "This is messy." And then just started cleaning. And I was like, "Mom, no." [laughs]

Sam Parr 23:51 Just tell Mom she's gotta learn how to jump off the ground a little bit better. Um, all right. That's cool. Uh, did we get anything out of this? Did we, did we grow at all? [laughs]

Shaan Puri 24:02 Yes. We got the fun and joy of the community coming together and doing something awesome and amazing.

Sam Parr 24:07 It was awesome. I got, uh, probably 10 to 15 texts saying, "Your stupid challenge is ruining my Twitter feed."

Shaan Puri 24:13 [laughs]

Sam Parr 24:15 Did you get those?

Shaan Puri 24:16 Yeah. You're welcome.

Sam Parr 24:17 [laughs] Uh, all right. That's my first muscle challenge. Is that it?

Shaan Puri 24:21 That's it.

Sam Parr 24:22 All right. That's it. [upbeat music]
