Sam Returns - The Boys Hang Out

**Shaan Puri** (0:00)
Yeah, you texted me something, you're like, Shaan, you're seven out of ten funny, you're eight out of ten charming. And I was like, this is a Sam Parr compliment, I think, I'm getting here.

**Sam Parr** (0:23)
I'm back.

**Shaan Puri** (0:25)
You know, when Michael Jordan came back to the league, he just faxed in a one pager with just those words on it. I'm back.

**Sam Parr** (0:31)
We have a lot in common. Him and I.

**Shaan Puri** (0:34)
Yeah. Unfortunately, when he came back, he was wearing number 45 and he kind of sucked that year and they got knocked out of the playoffs. So I'm hoping you're coming back a little stronger.

**Sam Parr** (0:43)
A six, seven black guys. We have a lot in common. You know what I'm saying? Me and MJ.
Did you miss me?
It felt like a long time for me. I don't think it felt like a long time for you because you were pretty prolific. You kind of had a couple hits.

**Shaan Puri** (0:57)
I did so many podcasts in the last three weeks.
I definitely missed you because that was a lot of content. I don't know why I did that. I what I should have done in retrospect was say, OK, Sam's out.
Let's not force the issue when he comes back. We'll come back strong. Instead, I overcompensated when you were out. And I was like, no, I am going to create all the content the world needs tonight. And that's what I tried to do.

And also we were working really hard ahead of time. I mean, I felt like I was recording a bunch ahead of time. So you've been kind of grinding now for about five weeks now, it feels like.

**Shaan Puri** (2:13)
Yeah, the funny thing is we thought you were gonna be out this month. So we have all these guests hosts planned for this month that your baby came early.
And so now we have like a full month of guests coming up.

**Sam Parr** (2:25)
I can go away, I can go away again, but you did great. We'll talk about some of the stuff I was doing, but you were doing great. So the Sarah Moore podcast was phenomenal. That woman is a superstar. You did a very good job of getting some good stuff out of her.
You also did a non-pod thing that I thought was some of your finest work, the all in podcast video or the all in CEO application. If you haven't seen it, go to Sean's Twitter and you'll see it. It got 1.1 million views. I looked this morning.
That was very good. And you did it all on your own. You even edited it, right?

**Shaan Puri** (2:58)
Yeah, I didn't have an editor.
And it was one of those ideas that... So, okay, I'll just explain what it is. So the all in podcast, which is a popular business podcast, is they were like, oh, we're hiring a CEO. And it started by these four guys. We're these super rich guys. The joke I make is the all in pod is billionaires talking about billionaire shit and our pod is millionaires talking about millionaire shit. And so they were like, we're hiring a CEO to turn this into a real brand and whatever.
And so I was like, it'd be funny if I did like a joke application to this pod for the job. So I recorded this video. Problem is the video is good, but I only wrote at the very end that this was a joke and like not meant to be taken seriously. So people are texting my dad, they're like, hey, I heard Sean's gonna get the job for CEO All In. Congratulations. My dad's like, what's All In? What's a podcast?
And I'm like-
