I have a lot to talk about, I bet you do, too.

**Shaan Puri** (0:39)
Yeah, I added a bunch of things this week. Okay, let's jump right in.
People have been craving a brainstorm, and we're gonna give them a brainstorm.

**Sam Parr** (0:48)
Can I tell you one thing really quick before we get to the brainstorm?

**Shaan Puri** (0:50)
Yeah, let's do it.

**Sam Parr** (0:51)
Okay, so I'm gonna go buy a car in about three hours, and I'm gonna live, starting August, I'm gonna live in a new city each month for 12 months, and it's gonna be, I'm looking for a list of happiest cities. So if you have that, let me know.

**Shaan Puri** (1:06)
Well, I've seen that once before, and I think it was like, you're talking about US only, right? I think like Switzerland or Sweden is number one or something.

**Sam Parr** (1:12)
Yeah, I would go to Canada.
I wanna go to Mexico City, cause I love it, but the Corona thing, I don't think it's under control there, at least to drive there. I wouldn't wanna drive through those cities in order to get there.

**Shaan Puri** (1:23)
So where are you starting? Do you know number one?

**Sam Parr** (1:26)
I think it's gonna be Provo. Is it called Provo or Provos? What's it called? Provo, Utah? Utah, the Mormons are definitely the happiest. So I'm gonna go and hang out with them.
And then I don't know. I gotta plan it.

**Shaan Puri** (1:39)
Okay, well, I think that's good. You should figure it out as you go. And somebody tweeted this as a reply because I think you mentioned this maybe on the last one. And they were like, dude, you must have the coolest wife who's just down to do all this stuff. They're like, we need to get her on the pod. So I have two questions for you about that. A, what's her reaction to your life plans like this, like crazy life plans?
Does she feed into them? Does she pull you back a little bit and say, hey, here's what's a little more realistic.
Is she just down for whatever? Like what's her role?

**Sam Parr** (2:12)
Yeah, she's down. She's a little more conservative than I am, but she's down. But does this seem like a crazy idea? This doesn't seem like a crazy idea at all.

**Shaan Puri** (2:19)
I don't think it's crazy necessarily, but it's definitely unorthodox, right? Like most people don't do this. So let's say it's unusual. I don't think it's crazy. I think it's a good idea.

**Sam Parr** (2:26)
Does your wife think this is weird? You work at it.

**Shaan Puri** (2:28)
If I told my wife, if I said, well, now we have a baby. So that's probably is crazy.

**Sam Parr** (2:31)
When you were childless.

**Shaan Puri** (2:33)
Yeah, childless.
Yeah, if I had said, hey, I want to move every month to a different city, she would have been like, why are we doing all this? Like, no, let's not do that. Like, okay, you want to go on vacation? Let's go on vacation. I think that would have been her reaction. No, if I really pushed for it, if I was like, I need this, she would have done it, but.

**Sam Parr** (2:51)
It helps that I don't have kids. And we know that we're going to have, Sarah's 27 So we're going to have kids in three years. So we're definitely like, let's just party.

**Shaan Puri** (3:01)
Right. Yeah, that's good.
Sonya is a year older than me. And so from day one, it's been like, yo buddy, I'm on the clock. Let's do this. Okay. So that's one thing. That's one question. And then the second question is, does she listen to the podcast?
Yeah.

**Sam Parr** (3:14)
Yeah, she does. So nice.
That would be interesting to have wives come on because they have to deal, like how do they handle, like Sarah, it's a handful for her to work with me for sure. Like, cause I'm so crazy.
