All right, everyone, we have a quick ad for HubSpot. Sales super teams aren't built overnight. They require unicorn-level talent, endless training, huge budgets, and lots of luck.
Or you could just use Sales Hub from HubSpot. It's an all-in-one platform built with all the tools for your success.
Smarter prospecting? Check. Faster revenue? Yup. Scales with your team? Sure does. But in Sam's speak, I'm gonna put it way simpler. Just go to hubspot.com/sales and it will make selling easier, faster, and more efficient.

Sam, you've moved to Texas, like, I don't know, how many weeks ago, three weeks ago?
And you look like a regular old Texas turkey right now. So let me describe. So Sam's wearing a camo hat that says, Terry Blacks Barbecue, Austin, Texas. And then he's got like a vest, like a hunter, almost like a hunter's vest, I'll call it. He's got a wood background behind him and he's drinking a Topo Chico, whatever that is.

**Sam Parr** (1:13)
Topo Chico. OK, I am.
That is a fair way to make fun of me. I do look very Texan right now. I would say I always probably look Texan, but Topo Chico. Have you heard of this thing?

**Shaan Puri** (1:25)
No, what is it?

**Sam Parr** (1:26)
Oh, my God. So I'm not a carbonated water guy. Someone gave this to me the other day. It's made out of it's like in Texas, I think maybe in Austin or all of Texas. It's like considered it's very, very, very popular. Every restaurant and like food truck has it. It's this water that's carbonated, but it's carbonated in a different way to where the bubbles are the most aggressive bubbles. And it like it hurts a little bit. And I feel it like hurts so good. You've never heard of Topo Chico? No.

**Shaan Puri** (1:53)
It's like you've tried this or no?

**Sam Parr** (1:55)
You guys have never heard of this. OK, I even I had heard of it. Ryan Holiday tweets about it and like it has a cult following. And I'm one of the followers now. I get it.
It's like I didn't understand it for a long time, but it's so good. I've been drinking like 10 a day.

**Shaan Puri** (2:08)
Did you got to get your random food thing that you always tweet about? I was like, what do you mean? He goes, he goes, look at all these Twitter personalities. They all have this like, you know, they talk about business all the time, but then they're really obsessed with one thing. He's like, you know, like Pomp's really obsessed with Domino's.
Always tweet about Domino's pizza. Ryan Hoover was always talking about La Croix.
And he's like, you got to get your food thing. And I was like, oh, well, easy Chick-fil-A. Like, I'm going to talk about Chick-fil-A all the time. I already do. I really love it.
And so Chick-fil-A is going to be my thing. He's like, perfect, because you're going to need some people who love it. And some people are like, nah, it's overrated. I hate it.

**Sam Parr** (2:39)
That's not a very controversial choice. Like, that's like you've been.

**Shaan Puri** (2:43)
It doesn't have to be controversial. It just needs to be not talked about enough. Like most people aren't talking about it. I think you just have to have a food thing. I don't know.

**Sam Parr** (2:51)
I agree with Ben's point, but your selection is so weak. Like, that's just like such an easy one.

**Shaan Puri** (2:58)
Tell me about my backup. My backup was Cinnabon.

**Sam Parr** (3:00)
That's way better. That's very controversial. I think Cinnabon is horrible. It's a New England.
It's a New England thing, man. Like the people in New York love eating that crap. I've gotten it at gas stations, like from a Cinnabon store.

**Shaan Puri** (3:13)
Oh, no, no, no. Not like a cinnamon bun, a Cinnabon. It's like a different thing.

**Sam Parr** (3:17)
Yeah, like that brand.

**Shaan Puri** (3:18)
Yeah, the brand.

**Sam Parr** (3:19)
I think it's horrible.

**Shaan Puri** (3:21)
Oh, dude, I will cut you with this box cutter. I have on my desk right now.

**Sam Parr** (3:24)
Oh, no, I think that there is way too sweet. So good.

**Shaan Puri** (3:28)
Looks like we found our thing. OK, good.

**Sam Parr** (3:31)
Oh, a couple of things. One, before this podcast, we tried using Riverside.
Riverside CEO. I think he listens sometimes. Dude, the great idea. It's still we had issues.

**Shaan Puri** (3:41)
This segment is called Fix Yo Shit.
And you need to fix yo shit. Riverside.fm. We can't use it to record our podcast yet.
