The Boys React to the News: The New Theranos Scam, Crypto Rally, and Gas App Sells to Discord

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've been trying to make this The Boys thing a thing for a little while now, and it hasn't happened, but as I taught my daughter yesterday, we never give up. And so The Boys React is gonna be, we're gonna react to the news here. So Ben, you have some news segments or news stories, I guess, and Sam actually likes the news. Sam's into the news. I'm-

**Sam Parr** (2:10)
Dude, I read the news like crazy. You don't read the news?

**Shaan Puri** (2:12)
I'm an anti-newser.

**Sam Parr** (2:14)

**Shaan Puri** (2:16)
You know how some people are preppers? I'm like, whatever that is where you avoid the news at all costs.

**Sam Parr** (2:22)
Yeah, I just like gossip.
I'm a big fan of drama. My life's pretty boring. So I need drama. I love the comment sections too.

**Shaan Puri** (2:29)
Somebody said this the other day, I think it was like Naval or one of these smart guys. They go, the goal of the media is to make every problem your problem.
And I was like, oh, that's pretty true. That's kind of like what the news is. It's like, oh, there's a flood in this county I don't live in. Shit, let me watch this for 20 minutes.
Why do I care about this? This has nothing to do with me. All right, but anyways, sorry to be on the news.

**Sam Parr** (3:09)
Give the background, Shaan, about this guy. Cause it's a pretty, it's a caper. I call this a caper.
A caper, a caper, it's like a, a caper. It's like a, a scheme. Like a, it's like when you would rob a bank, you know, you'd be like, this is a great caper.

**Shaan Puri** (3:27)
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
He just fooled the tech industry twice, dude. He sold the same app.
So he built an app called TBH that was like, you know, let a teenager go on and it would basically quiz you about people in your school, your friends, it'd be like, who's the most cute boy in your life? And you're like, oh, Sam. And it's like, who's the most likely to be famous? Oh, it's Ben, right? You just do that, right? And then they would text them and be like, somebody said he's cute.
