He called the broker up.
I said, Griffin, buy. He said, buy what? I said, you know what to buy, buy Zuck.
He says, how do you spell that? I said, Z-U-C-K. He said, that's not the ticker. I said, Griffin, call Zuck and tell him I want some shares. And so we bought some shares, and I think we're double from where we bought some.

It's Friday, we're reacting to the news. Welcome, fellas. Let's go through the stories. First of all, Facebook stock is soaring. It's up 43% in the last month. Sully's getting rich off of it. Fellas, did you call it? Did you know that Facebook was gonna rebound?
Right now, Facebook, like I haven't bought ads on it recently, Shaan, but I was talking to some of my folks who worked with you on the Milk Row, and I was talking to some of the people who worked at HubSpot, or the people who worked on the hustle at HubSpot.
Facebook ads are killing it. They seem like they're working really nicely. When I was running it, it was like, we are acquiring users for like three or four dollars, and then nowadays, it's back down to like 150 when we first started. So it's kind of easy to see, I guess. What about you?
**Shaan Puri** (1:12)
Yeah, I bet on it. So I took, I don't know, $250,000, like I don't know, three or four months ago, and I bought Meta because I was like, why is everybody down on Meta? And I was like, did they forget the number one rule? You don't bet against Zuck.
And like, you know, to anybody who's like, oh, but the, you know, the metaverse blah, blah, blah. I'm like, I just send them the video clip of Mark Zuckerberg doing MMA.
And I'm like, this is who you're trying to bet against?
The guy that since age 18 has just been like dominating everything he's tried to do.
The guy who's created the biggest social network ever, then bought all of his competitors and killed every, everybody else who tried to compete with him, including Google, when they try to compete with him on social and now he trains MMA. And before that he learned to hunt and speak Chinese fluently. You think this guy's just gonna lose money because Apple changed their cookie policy or whatever? Get out of here with that. No way. And so called the broker up. I said, Griffin, buy. He said, buy what? I said, you know what to buy. Buy Zuck. He says, how do you spell that? I said, Z-U-C-K. He said, that's not the ticker. I said, Griffin, call Zuck and tell him I want some shares. And so we bought some shares. And I think we're double from where we bought. I don't know exactly. I think it's 80 I'm up 80% on that.
**Sam Parr** (2:40)
Shaan and I use the same guy, by the way.
We both use Griffin. What did Griffin say?
**Shaan Puri** (2:46)
I actually checked the number so I don't misquote myself here.
**Sam Parr** (2:49)
Did he say, are you sure, Shaan? Or does he go, yes, sir, go and do it?
**Shaan Puri** (2:53)
Well, he texted me the other day. He goes, great call on Meta.
And I go, thank you for the compliment because I've lost a lot of money this year. That's why I sent this.
Okay, not quite double, but close. We will be double. So we're up only 50%. So a little bit less than I thought. 50%. Still not bad in a couple months.

Dude, Sarah started working at, Sarah used to work at Facebook in 2012
And I was like doing some math about what she would have, yeah, 2012, she started, sorry, 14 She started working there. And I was doing the math on like where she would be if she just stayed there. And we were talking about it. And I was like, well, pro, you would have gotten fairly wealthy. Con, like her job there was like, how do I make like a sticker emoji that gets people in Brazil to share more selfies?
So it's like, you know, you want to like, you're going to want to like kill yourself. This is whack and lame. But like they pay for your lunch and you get your oil change and like that stock back then was only $47 at its peak was $372. I mean, that's pretty sick. But yeah, man, like Facebook's killer never bet against him.
**Shaan Puri** (4:14)
Dude, when we were going through our sale process, Facebook was one of the potential buyers. They offer the highest deal. What, E18? No, no, this was 2019, 2020, something like that. 19
