What up, Sam? 2021

**Sam Parr** (0:23)
Congrats, happy 2021 The best ad that I saw recently, it was a match.com ad, and you see the devil in Central Park just waiting, and then a woman comes up and she goes, hey, are you Satan? And he goes, yeah, are you 2020? And they like, it's like 2020, it's Satan meeting on a date, and they fall in love with each other. It was the best ad that I've seen in a long time. It was awesome, it was by match.com, and it was how 2020 and the Satan met.
It was wonderful.

**Shaan Puri** (0:56)
So you just signed up?

**Sam Parr** (0:58)
Great marketing, it worked.

**Shaan Puri** (1:00)
I'll do that. If I see a great ad, I'll give it a click.
I'll go add something to cart just so that they, just to reward the ad a little bit.

**Sam Parr** (1:08)
Now that I'm officially like a dad homeowner, I'm not a dad, but I'm definitely acting like one, I've made a few purchases.
The first thing, Shaan, tell me if you've made this purchase, a hatchet. Do you have a hatchet?

**Shaan Puri** (1:21)
For protection or for work?

**Sam Parr** (1:23)
For everything, for breaking down boxes. I bought a hatchet.
I like, I love buying things on Amazon that only cost 10 or 20 or $30, and they're just shit that is cool, but you're not sure if you're gonna need it.
So bought a hatchet. I got a nice sharpener for my pocket knife. Pocket knife, so useful for boxes. What else did I buy? You can buy a blowtorch on there. I bought a blowtorch.

**Shaan Puri** (1:44)
There being what? There being the internet?

**Sam Parr** (1:47)
On Amazon, bought a flashlight that pretty much goes like five miles in the sky. I've just been buying all gadgets.

**Shaan Puri** (1:56)
I think I made some of those purchases, but I feel like yours are like half prepper, half homeowner. Like not all of those were just homeowner things.

**Sam Parr** (2:05)
Well, they're all, I admittedly, I love gadgets. So they're all gadgets, but they do kind of have a little protective vibe. But I'm not gonna kill someone with a hatchet, but I am gonna break down boxes.
And I just got something delivered to me and it came via a pallet. And what are you gonna do with the pallet? You gotta pay money to throw it away.

**Shaan Puri** (2:23)
Dude, it sucks when they give you the pallet.

**Sam Parr** (2:25)
Yeah, so I bought an axe to break that down, figuring out, I'll be able to break down many things.

**Shaan Puri** (2:29)
What's the difference between a hatchet and an axe?

**Sam Parr** (2:32)
An axe, you use two hands.
An axe has a long handle and you use two hands. A hatchet is a one hand, it's a hammer with an axe head on it.

**Shaan Puri** (2:41)
Okay, great. Yeah, I have a box cutter that's small and looks like a pen, so I don't think I'm ready for all this.

**Sam Parr** (2:47)
Do you have an alarm system?

**Shaan Puri** (2:51)
We do.

**Sam Parr** (2:52)
What do you have?

**Shaan Puri** (2:53)
It was just like, I rent this place, so it just came with the place. I don't even know what the brand is. It's kind of like an old school one. And then yeah, we have a bunch of Nest cameras set up everywhere.

**Sam Parr** (3:03)
So we talked about Deep Senegal recently, right?

**Shaan Puri** (3:05)
Yep.

**Sam Parr** (3:06)
I went to Noah Kagan's house for New Year's and he had one and it's pretty cool. It's pretty badass.
I want that for Ring, where I just have these folks. I don't think they have to be in America. They could be anywhere that monitors the camera and then just says something like, hey, who are you? Do you know the owner? Well, you know, like the police are on their way.
You know what I mean? That would just be lovely. I want that service.

**Shaan Puri** (3:27)
Yeah, why don't you get it? It's available.

**Sam Parr** (3:29)
I've only found it on Deep Senegal and I would use them, but I've already installed Ring. And I imagine more people, definitely more people have Ring than that. So I don't understand why that doesn't exist yet.

**Shaan Puri** (3:42)
Right, right, right.
I think they don't get the live feed in the same way. I don't know, something like that. I'm not sure. But yeah, that seems like a hack if you could just do the Deep Senegal thing without the hardware.
