Drunk Business Ideas That Could Make You Millions

**Sam Parr** (0:00)
All right, there's this amazing book called Getting Everything You Can Out Of All You've Got. I read it a few years ago and it changed my life.
And the reason I loved it was because it basically talks about how to get and make more money using things that you already have.
Coincidentally, today's podcast is brought to you by Business Made Simple. It's a podcast by Donald Miller, who I'm gonna tell you about in a second, but he has this amazing episode that's all related to this book and the things that I learned in this book. It's called How To Make Money With What You Already Have. It's an incredible episode. It talks about all the stuff that I learned in this book. The host is Donald Miller. I didn't know who Donald Miller was up until recently, but over the last 12 months, this is totally by coincidence. It was all separate people. They said, you have to check out Donald Miller. He's amazing. So I'm happy that he's part of HubSpot's podcast network. You can check it out, Business Made Simple Podcast. It's where he coaches you on how to build your business like an airplane, where the cockpit is your leadership, the body is your overhead, the right engine is your marketing, the left engine is your sales.
You have to check it out. This guy's amazing. It's called Business Made Simple with Donald Miller.

I got my drunk ideas, should we do some drunk ideas?

**Sam Parr** (1:11)
Yeah, let's do it.

**Shaan Puri** (1:12)
All right, so again, to frame this, these are ideas that I had that I don't think are good, but I still wanna say them. So I call it drunk ideas, even though I didn't have them while I was drunk. I was stone cold sober, but that's my cover story. All right, so drunk idea number one is called, and you gotta tell me, I think I did this before, and by the way, one gem came out of it, which was my Lucky Water brand that I do intend to create.
So, you know, some gems do come out of this. So Ben, you're a participant in this one. I need you both to give me your idea, your reaction. What should the scale be on the reaction? Is it like, you know, on a scale of sober to piss drunk, or like on a scale of like, you know, horrible to good idea? How do you wanna rate these?

Let's do one to 10

**Shaan Puri** (1:57)
One to 10, all right. First idea is called, very long distance girlfriend. Okay, so I had this idea, because I realized, like I'm sitting there, and me and my wife, we like to watch all these dating shows, right? So we watch all of his blind, we watch The Bachelor, and you watch these shows, and it's sort of like, it's like the honeymoon period. And I would say most people's homes are like ours. It's like, the scene is this. On screen, you see like two usually beautiful people living some kind of fairytale date, and then like one person's kind of like, you know, there's some drama, one person's being dramatic, or one person's unsure, and the other person's really good, or whatever.
And then if you zoomed out off the TV, you'd see a couch with usually a couple sitting like six feet apart from each other because they're so sick of each other.
You know, just like in their sweats, not dressed up with their double chin, eating their popcorn and Cheetos, and being like pointing at the screen and be like, oh, she's not even that hot, or like, oh, he's such a jerk, and it's like judging these relationships, right? But like there's something to this of why we like it, right? We like seeing these other relationships. But I also think.

**Sam Parr** (3:05)
It's like when we do that, we do that with UFC, it's like, oh, he shouldn't have tapped out.

**Shaan Puri** (3:09)
Yeah, dude, he's such a pussy. He's still weak.

**Sam Parr** (3:13)
He looks scared.

**Shaan Puri** (3:14)
Yeah, dude, he's so scared. That's why I don't like him, because he's scared.

**Sam Parr** (3:18)
Yeah, he's not confident.

**Shaan Puri** (3:19)
Oh my God, there's a spider in my room. You know, like, so yeah, there's definitely like a judgy, there's a fun in judging it. But I would also say there's a fun in the sort of fairy tale. Like I think everybody, when you're watching these shows, you sort of put yourself in the shoes of either the person pursuing or the person being pursued. You know, you're the damsel or you're the prince, whatever it is. So the idea behind very long distance girlfriend is as follows.
