Whenever I hear stuff like this, like when people are like, money doesn't make you that happy, or after this amount doesn't really do anything for you, it's like, yeah, you're probably right, but I'm just gonna check.

**Sam Parr** (0:11)
Yeah, I would like to find out. I'm gonna go ahead and test for myself. Yeah.
Can I start the podcast doing something that you're gonna dislike? Can I complain? I wanna complain.

**Shaan Puri** (0:34)
Everybody wants that.

I'm having a really shitty week and I'm having a horrible day. So basically like personal life, there's some stuff like we thought the pregnancy was gonna be one day or the due date was gonna be one day. Now it might be another day. I don't have the supplies I need. So I gotta go and buy the crap this weekend that I think I need. I'm really stressed about that.
At Hampton, we are dealing with like, we're having to make like policies that I've not used to having to make, like maternity leave and things like that. So those conversations are exhausting to me.
And then I got sick this week and I took this medicine that made me bloated. I don't know if you could tell by my face, but I've gained 15 pounds in the last three days. I feel like you need to poke me with like a needle and I need to like let out air. I feel miserable. All my fitness gains that I've made in three years, it feels completely erased.

**Shaan Puri** (1:24)
Rank those from worst to least worst.

**Sam Parr** (1:27)
The bloat is the number one worst thing.

**Shaan Puri** (1:29)
It has to be, right?

**Sam Parr** (1:31)
But listen, I have the worst thing. Listen to this. You'll find this hilarious. I did David Parrell's podcast. He asked me to look at his edits. I log in. Let me read to you the first edit that he made to his editor that I read it. He said, this is a note from David. He goes, hey, can you remove the I love Nazis part? It's a little distracting. Clean it up.
Basically, on the podcast, he was like, what do you like to read lately? I was like, oh, you know, I've been loving like history. I've been loving war.
In particular, I love Nazis. Like I like reading about that.
And I just log in and I'm like, remove the I love Nazis part. And so anyway, I've had a hell of a day, dude. I feel bad. And it's like 11 a.m. Am I being, am I soft right now? Or should we just pull the plug on everything?

By the way, really funny, we were at a dinner with these guys who, with this other founder investor type guys.
And then somebody was like, oh, do you want this? And Ben goes, no, I'm okay. They're like, what, you don't like this? He goes, no, I just, I feel bloated. And then the whole table turned and looked at him. And we're like, are you a pregnant woman? Why are you saying you feel bloated? And I was like, I never heard a guy say I feel bloated.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I am saying you should never say it.
It's the, what was your list of like, drinking from a straw, holding a cup with two hands.

**Sam Parr** (3:41)
Yeah, men don't drink from straws.

**Shaan Puri** (3:43)
Men don't hold cups with two hands. Saying bloated is now on that official list of never do it, it makes you look super soft.

**Sam Parr** (3:51)
Men do not drink from straws. Men should never hold mugs or cups with two hands. That's a rule.
