Robot Businesses That Will Take Over The Fast Food Industry And Showmanship

The world has changed where there's now this robotic arm that's a general purpose robotic arm. So think of it like an iPhone, right? It's a piece of hardware that you could buy that you could program to do anything. So when Steve Jobs came out with the iPhone, they were like, this is an iPhone, it can access the internet, it has a GPS inside, and it can make phone calls. That's what it could do.
And from there, you guys figure out the rest, right? Initially, they didn't have the app store, but then when they did have the app store, now all of a sudden you get the flashlight app, and then the app that turns, it's like a ruler, uses the camera to measure something. Then you get Strava. It's like, we'll use the GPS to do this thing. So it's basically a programmable general purpose tool.
So that's what's happening with these robotic arms.

All right, we're live, bro, what's up? Listen to this thing, I'm gonna tell you something. I have been being really healthy this summer and didn't eat a lot of sugar, didn't have no sugar other than fruits and vegetables and just no sugar added. Today, I decided, today was my planned cheat day after three months of doing this, and I ate some ice cream.
I feel miserable.

**Sam Parr** (1:08)
Yeah, the cheat day is always underwhelming. It's always like, I'm looking forward to it, I'm planning for it, then I start doing it. I don't even feel good while I'm eating it.

**Shaan Puri** (1:16)
Well, it's like when you drink and then the next day you're hungover and you're like, why did I do that? But then you immediately do it again a few days later. I kind of feel like that, except instead of three days, it's 10 minutes. So I eat something and 10 minutes later, I'm feeling horrible. I'm like, oh, fuck it, there's still some left though. I should probably do it.
Oh my God, I feel so sick.

**Sam Parr** (1:35)
You have such an extreme personality. You always go to these extremes.
You also, I feel like this is also why people hate fit people is because they have these types of problems and normal people are just like, what are you talking about? What is the big deal? Why are you doing this to yourself? Why are you waking up in the middle of the night thinking about ice cream? It's like the way that some people get annoyed about crossfitters and people who love to talk about intermittent fasting.
I think there's people who feel that way about us with business and money, which is just like, dude, not everything's a business, it's okay. And I would say that if we succeed, we need to succeed in creating people that are as annoying as crossfitters as our fans. I think that's my new goal.

**Shaan Puri** (2:18)
Yeah, you need freaks. And here you're at a huge disadvantage. You know why, right? It's because you are what I like to call emotionally stable.
You have too much emotional health, good emotional health in order to be extreme. Like some people, I'm reading this great book about leaders and how the guy, the author looks at a lot of interesting leaders who we like. So for example, Abe Lincoln's one of the most written about, I think the most written about American figure ever. Winston Churchill, a bunch of people like that. And he basically, his whole theory is that during okay times, a mentally stable leader could be adequate. But during bad times, mentally unstable leaders typically are the best at leading because they understand the ups and downs. They are kind of crazy enough, kind of like when an entrepreneur invent something or start something versus the type of person who just runs it and runs it like even keel.
And they're like, well, you kind of need some extremes in extreme times. And it like analyzes history on emotionally unstable people and looks at like, oh, they're actually the best during bad times.

**Sam Parr** (3:21)
Well, I think people underestimate this because in theory, it sounds like you want somebody who is stable. In theory, you want, let's say you joined a startup or a small company, you want it to be like, oh, how do we make decisions? You know, we talk about it as a group, we get a bunch of different perspectives and then we sort of all chime in with what we think and we go with, you know, maybe the majority, it's like a democracy. And actually that shit doesn't work in startups.
It is not the norm and that would be the outlier if it was to work.
