The Boys React: Andrew Tate's 3rd Month in Prison, Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury, & Covid Lab Leak Theory

I told you I'm in content mode, baby. I'm writing and I'm I got some gems. Uh I I'll give you the headline of something I'm writing right now. I haven't even released this d any of this stuff yet. Um But uh but it's called Congratulations. You climbed Mount Stupid.

What's up fellas, it's Friday. How you guys doing? Doing great. Good.

Uh, we're reacting to the news. We got some good ones this week. Uh let's start with uh let's start with Jake Paul versus Tommy Fury. Uh, Jake Paul, of course, the famous influencer. uh has since become a professional boxer. For the first time he lost a fight.

Uh losing to uh Tommy Fury, a professional boxer and social media influencer. And uh Not just the fight is notable, but what's also notable is that Sam You basically called exactly what would happen in the fight. Uh so do you want to take your victory lap right now, Sam?

No, I didn't call exactly. But I have been getting good at predicting fights. I'm a huge combat sports fan. Um but I I didn't exactly get it. But I loved it.

You 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 I 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 just hitting 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 sparred. It doesn't hurt, right? If you do it with someone who like It doesn't have to hurt. But well, you know what it does? It scares you. It's a very scary. It gets the heart rate up. It you y 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 uh Yeah, I I don't think he's gonna like Be a great boxer. I mean props. Uh

First of all, came on the show. So gotta give him credit for that. Came on came on our show. Now he's doing other shows. These are all, you know, just highlights of his life, I'm sure. Uh but just a correlation. Yeah, exactly. I'm not saying one caused the other, but like Probably. We did do our show before you know a lot of this stuff happened. And so uh I thought it was great. You know, uh I think the transition from like Disney kid, Vine Star, YouTuber.

Kinda shithead uh you know brand to 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, actually. Like he's like he's a very good amateur boxer. Very good amateur boxer. And he's an entertainer. And like

He You know, he's done an amazing job staying relevant, but evolving the game with him. I think that uh 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 ha reinventing yourself.

And finding a way to merge maybe Things you're interested in or passionate about. With your skills in the world of business or entertainment. And uh he's done it phenomenally well. And thinking from first principles like Him and his brother Logan

They didn't just ask. What should I do next as a YouTuber? 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 got to give them credit for that.

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. 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. Uh, of course, they're charged with human trafficking. They claim that there is no evidence and they still haven't had a trial. Uh what'd you guys take?

And human trafficker or wrongly. Imprisoned. Oof. I don't know much about it, do you? No, I I mean who knows what he did, but uh first of all, Romania

Guilty until pr 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. Um while He hasn't had a trial. That's a l that's a little strange. Uh also said uh 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 realize I'm too tough for that. Uh but it's not a good thing. Why does he have Twitter access? Does anybody can somebody explain this to me?'Cause he tweeted out Two hours ago, my body is j in jail.

But my mind is not in jail. Do you understand? 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?

Yeah, and you said, Are you gonna be putting free tape in your Twitter bio? No, I'm not gonna be putting that. I I I don't care. Are you gonna be dude, I will pay you a hundred dollars to put free Cobra Tate in your Twitter bio. That would be so funny. For twenty four hours, just do it. That'd be amazing. Oh no, not a chance. I'm I 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. Yeah.

He's kinda cringe, to be honest with you. But uh yeah, let's go on. All right. Uh let's move on to the lab leak theory. So uh multiple government sources are now saying that they think the lab leak theory for the origins of COVID nineteen is true. This includes the Department of Energy. And the FBI. So fellas

Are you surprised? I am not surprised. I am not surprised. This ever since that one John Stewart clip. Have you seen this this John Stewart clip, Sam, where he goes on the Colbert show? He was ringing the bell early on, right? Yeah, it was pretty early on. This was like when it was still Unpopular and in fact you would get like

Censored or your video's taken down or like a giant flag saying This person's a conspiracy theorist for saying it. And he goes on the Colbert show and he does this little bit where he goes, um He says something about the lab leak and you know, this leak from a lab and it's crazy and then Colbert goes, Whoa, whoa, whoa, we we you know, lab leak. I mean you're saying that we we there we don't know that there's no evidence. He goes, Evidence? There's a coronavirus.

That originated in Wuhan. Where there is the Wuhan coronavirus lab. He goes, It's in the name and he just keeps going off. He's like he's like There's a chocolate leak in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Is this you know is this random? Or maybe it's the chocolate factory! You know, like it it he it he brings us up and it was just like so obvious at that point. Um it's like what How unlikely would it be?

That in all places. The novel he's like The novel coronavirus. Originally it's in Wuhan. Where there is the Wuhan novel coronavirus 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 la in that same area. I remember my friend Jack telling me about this like early on. And my friend Jack is

Not quite a c 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 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 him telling 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.

But now it's looking like maybe it did, or at least uh for sure it did, somewhere in between maybe and for sure. N For sure it didn't. And my takeaway is

There's things that I will used to dismiss as just crazy and only crazy people would believe this, but I've seen over the last five or ten years as I've like become more of an adult and like paid attention to these things, I've seen that like Man, crazy things do happen and also A lot of huge life changing things. Are just accidents. They just happen. Like

And and and now I have a little bit more of an open mind when people say, like, well, this person is uh 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. To say that 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. I don't find this racist in any way. Like what what are you talking about? And um 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 the the a bunch of people start commenting 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 talking about? Wha I have to have Fifty percent diversity in my favorite books. And I I I just replied to go. All my favorite NBA players are black. And that just set people off. That totally triggered everybody. Cause I was like, no, I am not apologizing because I named five of my favorite books, and they just so happened 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? Um you were not inclusive enough for me ticket. And it's like, what are you talking about? That's not even what this was about.

Did you invent metermaid? Yeah. Yeah, I did that last night. I told you I'm in content mode, baby. I'm writing and I'm I got some gems. Uh I I'll give you the headline of something I'm writing right now. I haven't even released this d any of this stuff yet. Um But uh but it's called Congratulations. You climbed Mount Stupid.

And I'm just working backwards from that headline to be like what's the what is the content here? Uh but I but I've just got a bunch of jams that I'm putting uh in my email list. By the way, go go subscribe to my email list. It I'll put in the The show notes just shonpurry.com and go go put your thing in there. I'm writing three hundred sixty five original pieces in the next uh in the next year. So one a day will go out. And one of them is gonna be called Congratulations, you climbed Mount Stupid. What are you doing, like a daily email?

Yeah, but it's a sequence. That would never work. It'll it'll work. I know I'm joking because we both had bad joke. Our software is the worst. Have you heard of HubSpot? See, most CRMs are a cobbled together mess, but HubSpot is easy to adopt and actually looks gorgeous. I think I love our new CRM. Our software's the best. HubSpot, grow better.

All right, Ben. What do you got? Let's go uh rapid fire through a few of these. Uh, I don't know if you guys saw this, the Felix Dennis House. So Felix Dennis, very famous entrepreneur. Your boy. I love'em.

Yeah, uh publisher of Oz and author of How to Be Rich. So he built this house. For five milyen pans. Uh 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.

uh in the middle and it's uh 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. Does this make you guys into themed houses? Are you guys gonna be building uh themed houses now.

Well, the takeaway here for me is F Legacy. Because This guy built something that he wanted and oftentimes people will say things like, um Well, what about the resale value of this thing?

Um, or how uh 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 uh make any financial sense. So I think it's cool. Um, and if you haven't read his book, How to Get Rich, we talked about it a bunch here. It changed my life. Whenever we talk about that book, it like goes up to like number uh ten, top ten in the business category. So go read it. It's uh it's awesome. There's a picture in this article of him with a uh Extremely um

Voluptuous person that says Felix Dennis spent a hundred million dollars on sex, drugs, and rock and roll in his lifetime. Yeah, that's what he talks about. So he basically says, uh front, right, Sam? Wasn't that your comp new company's mission statement? Core values. Close. He uh basically from age like thirty five.

To uh like forty. He was addicted to crack. That was his drug. I swear to God, crack cocaine. He loved it. And he died uh single. He had a partner, but they had an open relationship. So the guy's been doing a lot of psychedelics and open relationships before it was cool. Um no, he was a very weird and quirky guy and he like basically says he spent a hund north of a hundred million dollars in his book he goes I spent a hundred a hundred million on on hookers and crack.

So uh you know. Whatever. Everyone's happy. Wilt Chamberlain said he slept with ten thousand women in his lifetime and if you do the math. Dude, the math on that is like horrible. It's like it's crazy. It's like, dude, you gotta sleep with two women a day for you know many years. Yeah, I think it's even more than that. Um, by the way, you said something about themed houses. I'm in on themed houses. I think themed houses are great. And more than theme more than the theme actually is Epic common area. You said two bedrooms.

That's I think bedrooms are a giant waste. I think you only 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 got to have epic common spaces and only a couple bedrooms, three or four bedrooms, max. I don't want to see a fifth bedroom. And you know what his um charity was that he left all of his money to? Was creating forests. So he's like the Johnny Appleseed of England. The guy he like has like thousands of acres of forests that he owns. And I think this house it's known for having all types of trees. So in Colombia. He's like the crackle cane foundation. I'm donating my wealth to.

All right. Uh I love this one. The Minnesota Department of Transportation ran a snowplow naming contest. So they got a new snowplow. They needed a name. And they out they they crowdsource it to the public. Here's some of the top vote getters. You're a blizzard, Harry? Blizzo.

Clearopathra. Better call salt. And Han Snolo. So guys, do you have a favorite from this list?

The last one. I think I like Cl Cleropatha. I think that was pretty good. I did not see that one coming. Remember when they did uh Bodie McBoat face? When like uh I think it was like Uh, 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, Bodie McBoat face. Uh and so I love these viral starts. I think they're awesome. Sam, I don't wanna steal your thunder, but You did want to announce your tattoo naming contest. Sam is willing to get a tattoo on his back that any anybody uh that is gonna be a contest from the fans of My First Million. Isn't that right, Sam? That is totally wrong.

I think I d what I did say there's this you remember how we talked about mini katana? Yeah. They're sending me a gold Sword, I guess. Katana, I don't know the difference. That has M F M on it. So I'm I'm collecting all types of M FM stuff. I don't know if we have to call a katana a sword, by the way. The meter maids are running around, they're excited about that one.

Uh well I have a gold katana on my way that has my first million on it, so I I'll I'll accept all MFM stuff, but I'm not gonna tattoo with with these. How about at a million YouTube subscribers? Will you get a crowdsource tattoo? I will get a tattoo at a million for sure. Uh when I I went and did this podcast uh in LA with like this Uh Cody Co. So he's really good. He's kinda like a uh a comedy YouTuber guy. And um

His studio looked awesome. He was telling us about they have this other they have like a network or they have some other show called Trillionaire Energy or something like that. Um, 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. In slow motion with music just getting closer together. And then these two guys just made out and I go, Whoa the what's the show about? And he goes

No, they had said if they get uh whatever, uh hundred thousand subs. That they would kiss. Did they really do that? And I go. 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. It's a hilarious video. It's in slow mo as they get closer and closer and they just make out. Are they tongued? It's intense. I'd rather be unsuccessful. How bad do you want it? I don't want it that bad.

Too expensive for me. Yeah. It's out of my budget. I'm out. We have we have food at home. You wanna do one more? That was the last one. Alright, last one. So uh

Blue Sky is a new Twitter clone, uh backed by Jack Dorsey. And unlike Twitter, it is decentralized. And so uh the question is, fellas Are you supporting our comrades? over at Blue Sky. Or are you supporting the capitalist pigs over at Twitter? What what's your move? Dude, Jack Dorsey owns a bank.

How are you gonna call him? A comrade. Right. He's moving away from capital. He's seen the air of his ways, then. Dude, when I hear okay, so here's some of the words they use open source social protocol.

Uh and decentralized. When I hear those words, I just I just don't care. I just don't care at all. Like they want me to care about it. And that's wonderful. And maybe sometimes I'll act like I do.

Uh But I don't. I don't care at all. Uh if you tell me uh probiotic.

Antioxidant. Right. Yeah, I don't care. If you want to shove it in there and I'll I'll drink it if it tastes good. Right. That's exactly right. I'll drink it if it tastes good. 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 b 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. Yeah, and the same thing happened with web three, where they like it they give me this horrible pitch and then they end it with web three, and I'm like Well, uh 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

I don't care. And also ma you have you tried Mastodon? Yeah. Dude, it's stupid too. It's stupid. No like it's it's dumb. So anyway, I'm not on board with this.

All right. All right.
