Boys React: Elon's Troubles, Happiness & Money Study, TikTok Ban, And Power Slap League

Anytime a rich person tells you That money doesn't make you happy. Just ask them for their money then. Cool, cool, cool. I guess it's useless, right? Okay.

Just give me a bunch of it then. Welcome to the Friday episode The Boys React. We're gonna go through some new stories. Uh let's start with the thing that Everyone is talking about, everyone is always talking about, which is Elon. Yon has gotten himself in trouble uh a couple of times this week.

First he tried selling some house plants. Uh office points, I should say. Uh to his employees to raise money. Wait, really? And then also uh ridiculed and and sort of kind of fired an employee. who uh who is disabled.

Uh Your thoughts on uh the endless drama of Yuan. Cringe. What do you think? Yeah, Elon is is the cringe master. He has to make everything about him.

Uh it's just me, me, me. He's now known as Milon Musk in my house. This guy's too much. The the crazy thing, Sam, did you w 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, so do a recap. I I I didn't understand all that at first. I had to like click through. So guy goes on Twitter Uh, who's got I I never heard of this guy, but he's got like a hundred fifty thousand followers and he says, Hey, nine days ago I Lost access to my work computer

Just can't I can't access Twitter anymore. I work at Twitter, I can't access my work my work computer doesn't log in anymore. It doesn't work. Can't get into my email, can't do anything. Um 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, have gotten no reply from HR, from my you know, from anybody.

Um So I'm guess hey, at Elon Musk, am I fired? And so the you know, he tweets that out. W was he getting paid still? I don't

I don't know, I don't think so'cause it but it was whatever, it was only nine days, so maybe he was he hadn't Got it. Got it. In between that. So He tweets that out. And he goes, Maybe if this gets enough retweets

Then um Yeah, then I'll get a response. So it gets retweeted a bunch of like Because people you know, there's the whole uh group of people that You know, love to hate Elon.

Myself included. And so People are like this is another example of, you know, how poorly Twitter's being run right now. Like why why would you if you're gonna fire somebody, tell them they're fired. That's you know Common decency, right? Like

I feel like Elon's got this flow chart. Where It's like I'm firing up this person. Should I tell them? It's like Yes. And it's like no no, I'm gonna go with no. Okay, what happens after no? Like should I just should I um you know

You know, meet with them in person, and I'll just cut off their computer. Dude, he's like Irish good buying their jobs. Just walking out without saying. Exactly. And so anyways, this thing gets um This thing goes viral. So basically, uh Elon then, you know, again He sees the all he sees this thing going viral. So instead of um Yeah.

Instead of Uh instead of actually just Yeah, you are fired or confirmed. Yes, you you were you were fired. He instead says Um

What have you been working on? Like what have you accomplished? So then he goes, Well if I You know, if I say what I'm working on, I'd I think I'd be breaking my NDA. Do I have permission to break my NDA and tell you what like can I say publicly here what I work on? Anyone replies? Yes, go ahead. Dude, what a pathetic start to the story. That's already pathetic. He goes, All right, well

Guy goes. Well, I was, you know, leveling up the design of this, I was working on this. And um You know, I was helping save money on this contract or whatever. And um

And he goes. Elon replies, level up the design from what to what. Pictures or it didn't happen. And like Yo, dipshit. You cut off his computer access. How was he supposed to have screenshots of us work if he took away his computer. He's not you're not even able to do it.

And um and then he's like mocking him basically. He's just replying with like the crying laughing emoji. He's replying, trolling him with like a clip from office space. And Now here's where Elon went wrong. So Elon's not dumb.

But he's a dumbass. And there's a big difference between dumb and a dumbass. Dumb is you're just not smart. Dumbass is you're smart, but you do dumb things. And that's what Elon does here. So He basically picks on a guy that

It comes out. So this guy sold his company to Twitter. And The guy so Elon comes out he here's what he says about the guy. He goes He goes. Somebody was like, dude, this is the uh this guy, Alex Cohen had this great tweet. He goes, I'm not gonna lie, this is the most entertaining exit interview ever. This watching this whole thing go down in public.

And then the guy and Elon says, the reality 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 storm. Wait so it's a

The disability thing, Elon said that first. He claimed as his excuse that he has a disability preventing him from typing. Yet was simultaneously tweeting up a storm. I can't say I have a lot of respect for that. What a douche. Why could how could he reveal that? Here's the other side of the story. This guy has like this guy's in a wheelchair. He's had muscle dystrop muscular dystrophy for twenty five years. And so he goes

So this guy came back with just kinda some some fire. So he goes, um Thunderclap, I think you call that. Solo Thunderclap, basically. So he comes back and he goes Glad to see you're taking such an interest in my health. Um I assume what you're talking about when you sh are sharing my private health information online is the fact that I've had M muscular dystrophy for twenty five years. And I guess I'll go ahead and tell the story now.

So you know, I uh lost few I lost the ability to use my legs twenty years ago. I've been in a wheelchair. Um Unfortunately, it's been spreading and I've my 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 who might have inherited uh inherited a emerald mine. Which is you know, how Elon's dad owned an emerald mine. Which is bullshit. Which that's a bullshit thing. I hate when people say that, but whatever. A good stuff. Um and so he goes.

I I guess that's what you mean by independently wealthy and you know So here's what here's the story. This guy's got muscular dystrophy. He L he's losing feeling and or strength in his arms, it's becoming very painful to to type. He decides, okay, I'm gonna sell my company and instead of taking a lump sum payment She

uh through like a 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. Or I think it's Iceland. Maybe yeah, I think it's Iceland.

Wait, really? Why do you want to pay more taxes?'Cause he felt like He's as a disabled person, he had benefited a lot from like the social welfare system there and was like, I want to contribute as much as I can to that. Which honestly sounds like too good to be true. Like That's 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 in taxes? I d I don't understand that, but E either way.

Uh this guy So built a company, had a hundred employees working for'em, it was profitable, decides to sell it. Um You know, he uh he's his body's basically been giving out on them. He's like, you know, financially it wasn't the best decision. Uh 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.

Um and he goes By the way, he goes. Anyways, I digress. Are you still reading or is your bathroom break over? Okay, what was I saying? And he goes, um

Uh yes. Uh so you bought the company, told employees you weren't firing them, firing seventy five percent of them, and then you did. I was not in the first batch or the second batch or the third batch of layoffs. I don't know which batch we're on ma now, but I you know Uh, whatever. You know, I I think I got f I think I'm fired now. I'm not sure. I just want to make sure I 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 this money. I'll take it, you know, slower rather than than faster, but you know, that that's fine. And so Anyways, this guy this guy not only He says how he's typing. What's that?

He also mentioned how he was typing. Yeah, I think he was just like, Yeah, I can't do like sustained thing, but like I can type with the one finger on my phone And um blah blah blah. And so anyways he he explains this. He goes, um Like this guy was literally named person of the year in Iceland. This guy like his his h side hustle

Is he building wheelchair ramps? Throughout Iceland so that other disabled people can do like he's building hundreds of of these wheel ramps. Like that's who you're that's who you're picking on here. That's who that's who you chose to to fight with. I saw this great quote, he goes. Elon, man, this guy's a dumbass. He fucked with the wheelchair Mr. Rogers. He goes, He goes, What is this guy thinking? Uh you know, like and so this guy, you know, I read this thread and I was literally like Hm. Nine on one, I'd like to report a murder. It was just like the ultimate clap back.

And then Elon tries to backtrack and he basically goes, um 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 and

That's not who this guy is. Random guy tweets. And then Elon tweets back, This is the most bullshit of all the bullshit. He goes. Based on that comment, I decided to call Hallie rather than Um rather than just tweet it for each other and um

He goes I decided to call Hall. Uh Uh he goes. Um what did he say? He goes. And you know, have a have a video chat with him.

Turns out you know. There was a misunderstanding. The information I was given was either incorrect or correct, but not important. That's that white flag, bro. You you lost You know Uh, you know, uh we've discussed him, you know, staying with the company. And you know, this is the ultimate back track. It's like first of all you

You you want'em to stay with the company because you have to pay'em 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 against a disabled person. As well as disclosing his private health information, as well as probably three or four other, you know

Issues that there were that were yeah, 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 You know, your employee said he

Hasn't heard from you. Not when he You know, ask one for an explanation. Um But when a random guy on Twitter said, No, Hallie's a good guy

You decided there to stop in your tracks and do a video call with him? Bullsh. Like this whole this whole thing is bullshit, and Elon continues to be. You know, king the king of bullshit. Have you heard the uh the song Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangster? Should you hear that song?

There's a line in it. I can't say the real line, but it it basically says uh Real gangsters don't flex nuts because real gangsters know they got'em. And uh right now Elon's he he is pretty gangster. I mean, he's the man. He ain't act he ain't acting like it. He's flexing nuts hard and he shouldn't be flexing as hard as he is. And uh I get the personality type where some people are like Dude, he's just saying whatever he wants. The same thing with Trump, where he's like he's just saying what he's gonna do.

Says it like it is, and I'm I ha I actually dislike that. Uh I like that like to an extent. But I'm like there's But just because you say it like it is like Well he's just doing what he wants. Yeah, but he just

You just punch someone. Like hitting people isn't good. Do you know what I mean? It's like, Yeah, I wanna do what I want. Does that mean I'm gonna like go take a dump in the corner of the room? Like you know, there's like Right. We don't we're not gonna be needlessly needlessly rude to one another. And that's kinda how I feel he acts right now, and that's not cool. Two of the parts of this new story. One It's going around that this guy's payout was a hundred million dollars. Which Makes no sense. Anybody who's in business is 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 acquire an agency for it's probably more like ten. But it'll and I went and I found it just started with some random guy

Who goes? Oh man, Elon back tracking now because he realized he that Halley has a hundred million dollar payout. And like Five tweets in, somebody's like, Where'd you read the hundred million? I've never saw that. He goes, Oh, I'm just estimating like, you know, aqua uh aqua hers are a million dollars ahead. They had a hundred employees, so you know, mil hundred million dollars.

And now that's just like In a bunch of places. It's like that's how That's how bad like information spreads. The end of his thing, he goes Better to talk Uh better to communicate

Through talking v uh instead of communicating on Twitter. Like So literally shitting on his own platform, by the way. Like you know, so so cell phoning, you know, all around. Um

So that I thought that was interesting. And then Ben said the other thing about the house uh the the office plant thing. What do you make of this? This I mean this makes no sense. Try What happened I didn't I dude, I I ha I muted Elon. I li I l I love what Elon's doing, man, but I like I even think the Twitter thing's interesting, but fuck, it's hard to be on his team and so I had to mute him. Mm.

So he's been selling like office furniture and memorabilia from the office, like just liquidating to like get more cash. I tried buying they had a Twitter logo. I tried buying it, but it w got up too high. And apparently like there was like plants in the office that he tried selling to an engineer, like one of the employees or something like that. It's like I mean I don't know uh either this guy's a marketing genius, he's just trying to get PR like trying to like It's the thing where it's Amazon was like We use doors as desks to save money. Which is a bullshit. By the way.

I tried doing that. An IKEA desk is significantly cheaper than a door from Home Depot. Exactly. I've tried doing this. A desk is way cheaper. You can't even like write on'em. So So I don't know what to make of this story, but just sounds like I mean it makes no sense. Either he's lost his mind

Or there's a masterful PR thing that's like Nine thousand IQ and I can't understand it. Or someone's just making things up. I don't understand. Uh maybe maybe all. I think all those things could be true. An exaggeration.

About a weird thing he said'cause he's lost his mind and makes for good PR. Gotcha. And he's a genius. It could be all those things. You know, he could be in he he's he's not dumb, but he's a dumbass. That's a g that's a great line. I saw people calling him Elmo Elmo Musk and I thought that was pretty funny. Uh but no, he's he's fucking up. Do we want to do one more? Yeah, well, yeah. All right, let's go with uh with money and happiness, guys. So uh Th there was a two thousand ten paper that said that basically above seventy thousand dollars More money does not make you more happy.

Does not make you more happy. Turns out More 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? I I

So here, I uh I'm pulling this up. So here's what it says, Sean. Um it says that um So if you are in The happiest of the unhappiest twenty percent does plateau after reaching a hundred thousand dollars. But After that group uh if you're not in that group, more money does mean more happiness. And uh and it basically it goes all the way up. They studied it all the way up to five hundred thousand dollars. And they said after that we we really didn't study it much.

But up to five hundred thousand 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. It's even compared to a weekend, approximately Uh a fourfold difference in income. So four times your income is equal to the effect of a weekend. Which is kinda funny.

But That said. More money makes you happy. And this is all like there's this like two thousand ten study where it said seventy thousand dollars. From the beginning, I thought that was the most bullshit. I've done this pot 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.

Um, so seventy thousand, not a chance. I used to say I thought it was at like two fifty. I actually believe it could be five hundred or even more, but you get happier. This is one of those things like um You know That might be true. I when I heard this study, I was like, That might be true. I'm gonna go ahead and test for myself. Yeah. 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 uh if sulfur gas is poisonous, but I figure, you know, no need to test that.

This is one of those scientific claims that I had 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 uh and go ahead and try to go get the go get a bunch of money and see how it feels. And uh, you know what? I'm glad I did because the study was bullshit. Dude, I got an MRI yesterday. And the lady at the front desk was like, All right, that's seven hundred and fifty dollars. And she was like didn't say that. She just handed me the 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 I am Yeah. 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 give 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 two 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. Like that's not I would be a lot happier if I had nine million dollars in the bank as opposed to nine thousand dollars or whatever you guys had. Anytime a rich person tells you That money doesn't make you happy. Just ask them for their money then.

Cool, cool, cool. I guess it's useless, right? Okay. Just give me a bunch of it then. Yeah, dude. And uh let's let's look at the actions uh versus the words in a lot of these cases. I always thought the study was bullshit also because I o I I wonder how much money the people Making the study make.

I was always like Yeah, that's what they think. Sure. They they think that'cause I want to know how much bias goes into a study when the It's always the researcher salary. Yeah. Or they're like making it only fifty and they're like, hey, C boss, seventy thousand. Um But I've always wondered what like the biases are because uh Like I don't know. I haven't even wondered. I'm like, this is obvious. This is obviously not true.

And uh You know, if I get to the finish line and I realize I You know, five million and ten million felt the same. Well, shame on me for going the extra mile. You know another thing? Have you ever tried to read a study?

Yeah, dude. Studies are hard are crazy. Yeah. It's hard. I have no idea. And then I'll like I follow all these like smart like a Huberman or like the these other guys who like break down studies and I'm like And they'll say like well this study's 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 study and it must be true. And they're like, No, no, no, it's actually way off for this reason. And like their sample size was like eight people or uh you know, a bunch of bunch of different things like that. Dude, I don't know how to read any of it. Or there's a chart and it's like the error bars are huge. It's like yeah, it's that plus or minus. You know, it's seventy thousand, plus or minus five hundred thousand. It's like, Well, okay, hold on, what's going on here, right? So

So yeah, I think Science is uh Is used as a like a shield. Sometimes. Um many in many cases. And

There's good science and there's bad science and there's weak science and there's strong science and there's Yeah. And then there's physics, where it's like, you know, empirically true. Um But the only thing that I know is three things. There's good science, there's bad science, and I don't know the difference between the t the two. That's like the only thing right there. That's like the only truth that I know. It exists. I'm just frame. Big old brain.

We got that big brain on today. All right, what else we got? Got that big brain. Okay. All right, here we go. Uh let's go with TikTok. Uh Biden administration in conjunction with Congress, they're evaluating a new law that would

um make it possible for companies to be banned that pose a national security risk. People think this means that they're gonna ban TikTok. What do you guys think? Should it be on TikTok? I don't know anything about that. This is why they pay you the big bucks. Dude, like people talk about I don't I don't know anything about China. I don't know what they're doing. That's true. Do you?

No. No, uh honestly I do not. How I mean, how would I how would I really know? Um The button 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 like appropriate. Uh I also by using TikTok a ton, I could totally 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 on. As well as

feed me, spoon feed me any amount of any like Based on you know a mysterious algorithm that 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 TikTok actually a threat? I I don't All right, what's the next one? Yeah. 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 is the best. HubSpot. Grow better.

All right. Next one. Uh let's go with favorite cities. A new poll from a real estate advice website reveals where Americans would move if money was no object. New York, Austin's in there, that makes sense. Uh also on the list though, Las Vegas and at number nine, 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 one hundred thousand people and it's been St. Louis like either it's usually number one, sometimes number two, for the past ten years, there's like five hundred murders a year. Saint Louis and Baltimore, very similar. That sucks.

It sucks. I don't want to move there. Not at all. I don't understand that. That's weird to me. Once I worked in the beauty business, I realized that uh Polls, rankings, lists. All bullshit. Just things to get generate clicks links.

Controversy. Yeah, if I was gonna make a list And I made a list that was like you just nod and you're like, Yeah, that makes sense. You're not gonna share that. You're not gonna talk about that. I throw Baltimore as the the fourth most desired city to live in or whatever, like put New York ninth just to make them outraged. Guess what? I'm gonna get a lot more clicks, a lot more discussion, a lot more controversy.

And a lot more backlinks for for my SEO. And uh you know, so so once you know their incentives, you'll know why these lists are are often outrageous. Either they're just paid. things at on the top, or they're trying to do things that will generate a bunch of shares. Do you uh Do you know what state Baltimore's in?

Yeah, Baltimore is in Maryland. All right, nice. I didn't think you'd get that. If you Google if you Google Baltimore to let my breath in. Of course I know that. Baltimore. Google Baltimore and look at the images. Very uno very unoppressive.

In uh not not in present at all. I'm sorry, Baltimore, that skyline. Not interesting one bit. Not not so good. Uh what else you got, Matt?

Can we wrap this up with the slap fighting one? Yeah. Do the story, Sam. So Dana White is putting muscle behind UFC uh sorry. 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. They're typically like huge fat guys.

standing at a table, smacking each other. I think they get three times a smack when I they get the three times a smack each other. I don't know the rules, but it seems like someone gets knocked out every slap. Every fight, yeah. Right. What are the rules? Is it like the first one knocked out loses or typically three to five rounds. They take turns hitting each other. In the face with an open hand.

And um the other person just stand there, take it. They get sixty seconds to recover. And then They can earn up to ten points based on the effectiveness of the slap and the defender's reaction. That's good. So you you know I like things where you get rewarded for pretending like it didn't hurt.

Uh'cause that that's a skill that I I I owned as a little sibling for many, many years. Um dude. This is the stupidest thing on earth. I don't know so look, am I I'm not a woke guy. I consider myself right of center. Uh maybe I'm getting more woke as I get older. I'm hating on Elon and also this slap thing is the stupidest thing on earth and I'm not gonna give it any of my I Yeah.

people in their underwear fighting to the death in front of a million people like UFC. But the slap thing Not a fan. Yeah, like it to me Knockouts are like

Tip. Like, you know, I like chips and dip, but if you take the chips away and it's just dip, now I feel a little dirty. That's how I feel about this. Like I'm cool watching a fight where somebody gets knocked out because there's skill and there's defense and then there's strategy when it's literally you have to stand still and get hit as hard as you can by somebody else. Um now you I'm just you know now I'm just eating Which is kind of Which is kinda ridiculous that it's considered okay that we can use a we can use a

You know, chip as a spoon and with cheese, but when you just use a spoon as a spoon for that cheese, it's we consider two different things. That is a little weird, isn't it? Now let me tell you something. Michael Vick Like got booted out of the NFL and like went to jail for a dog fighting ring. Colin Kaepernick.

Can't get a job because he n you know, took a knee during the national anthem to Those two are not even remotely the same thing, by the way. I'm just saying. People of Got a lot more punished for a lot less than this. How is Dana White

Not like how is he not canceled for doing this? How is this legitimate thing that they're allowed to do Um Kind of insane to me that like You could You could get away with doing this and not others. I 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 Little liffy to me, but uh Yeah, I think this is so stupid. I'm not gonna 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 a lie, I watched the trailer I was I was heavily entertained by it. So, you know, just from the trailer. It's kinda like there's a subreddit called Watch People Die. And it was like videos of people killing themselves and it was huge and people were obsessed with it. And then they deleted it.

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 to look away. I I had my stop myself from like clicking some of that stuff.

Let's finish with a little show recommendation. Have you watched Physical One Hundred on Netflix? You keep telling me to watch it. No. Oh my God. Everybody needs to go watch the show. And I'm gonna warn you, it's a Weird show. If you had just described it to me, I would not have watched it. It's just that Korean Netflix thing in real life, right? It's squid 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 a hundred Athletes. of different types. So bodybuilders, MMA guys, boxers, women, men, small, large. Gymnasts, ice climbers, luge People from the Olympics.

Um whatever, everything. Wrestlers. And they put'em all together. And they walk in and it's basically like we're gonna see Who is the ID of athletic competitions. Um

Like who is the overall what is the best body? What is the perfect body? Is it this guy or is it this girl or is it this guy? And and so And 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 versus girl. It'll be giant bodybuilder versus tiny there's no weight classes, no 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, the here's 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. They're 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. They actually and they not only did they 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 a reality drama. That's the first thing. Second thing. They play with honor. So it'd be like you the winner of the first round gets to pick who their opponent's gonna be in the second round. It's like oh well

You know, an American would just be like, Oh, I can beat this person, so I'm gonna 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, that would may be the most honorable to compete against and they'd be like It would be my honor. To compete against each other. And the the whole thing's done with subtitles. Sorry, uh dubbed. So it's like

It's all in Korean, but then you're listening on a dubbed Which is hilarious because there's even some guys that speak English, they dub them also in more English. It's hilarious. So So they that's how the show works and they just eliminate people until they get to the very end. The final winner.

of the physical one hundred. And so you this is like You will love the show. Once you get in you get two episodes deep, you're gonna love the characters. Which which body type is best. Well I don't wanna give it away. I mean this is this is the show, right? So like this this is a s a giant spoiler. Um But you know, you gotta have it all. You gotta have attributes, you gotta have the speed, you gotta have the strength, you gotta have the endurance.

You gotta have the the dexterity, you gotta have the the the agility, you gotta have it all because they test you in all these different ways. How would I do it? The show is amazing. You gotta watch this thing. Physical one hundred. How would I do? Oh, here's the other thing that's great about it. They don't really edit it. So like in an American show. They'll be like The start of the competition. Then there'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 ten thousand ton ship as a team to from one side of this room to the other.

Go and then just show the whole thing in its entirety. It's even a little bit boring sometimes, but it's kinda like watching National Geographic where you just get really into it, like planet Earth. We're like, ooh, is the lizard gonna get the ant I gotta watch? Like and it's gonna just happen. I'm gonna watch the whole thing play out. You know, with no no s jump cuts. And it's such a refreshing change from like TikTok and like these other things that are like just

Such level stuff. I'm looking at the winner. Uh We're not we're not that different, are we? Well don't give it away. You'd be surprised why this person won. It's it's pretty crazy. So

So anyways, yeah, you gotta watch the show. It's kind of amazing. Alright, that's it. That's the pod.
