  All right, we have a big announcement, possibly the biggest announcement of the year from us. So pay attention, turn the headphones up. We are doing a challenge called My First Muscle.

• 0:20Shaan Puri?

  Instead of My First Million, this is My First Muscle. It is a fitness challenge that we're doing. We want everybody to get involved with it. Sam, tell them how it works and why we're doing it.

• 0:29Sam Parr?

  All right. So here's what it is. Summer's coming up. We got this thing called the Pod Bod. We've been sitting here. I think we're on 650 episodes or so. We want to get fit. So it's a challenge. It's a race, actually. It's 100 pushups, 100 squats, 100 burpees, 100 times 100 times 100. That's your first million and it's hopefully going to be your first million muscle. So here's what you're gonna do. You can do any order. You could start with burpees, you could start with squats, it doesn't matter. But when you do a burpee, you gotta go nips to the floor. Your chest has to touch the floor and then you hop up and when you jump up to the top of the burpee, your feet need to leave the ground and you should film yourself doing it. And when you film yourself doing it, you have to time yourself too and then you have to share the video with us at MyFirstMilkPod on Twitter.

• 1:11Shaan Puri?

  Exactly. Or you can tag me and Sam directly. Either way. So just to summarize, turn a timer on. Best case scenario, you film it too, but at least turn the timer on and do it. You have to, you have as much time as you need to complete 100 pushups, 100 air squats, so no weight, and then 100 burpees. And you can mix it up and you could do them in whatever sets of five or 10 or however you want to mix it up. You just gotta get it done. That's the challenge. You've heard of 75 Hard, you've, you've heard of the Murph. Well, this is our version of that. My First Muscle. Me and Sam are gonna be doing it. We're gonna film it. We're gonna post our videos of us doing it. Sam, what do you think your, your prediction, your time is gonna be? You're a super fit guy.

• 1:46Sam Parr?

  I'm gonna break 20 minutes. That's my goal. And I think I'll be in the 90th percentile. 20 minutes, I think is 90th percentile. I think the winner will be 15 minutes.

• 1:54Shaan Puri?

  I predict that I will. Be far above 20 minutes. I think I'm going to be closer to 35 to 40 minutes. If I'm, I did a little test run. I did a little test run. I went 80%, 70% and it took me like 42 minutes. And so I got a, I got a, that was just V1.

• 2:09Sam Parr?

  That's okay.

• 2:10Shaan Puri?

  Just, I was a nibble. It was a Costco sample of it. I just need to now iterate and get better.

• 2:14Sam Parr?

  There's two things here. The first is just doing it. So I think doing it, I have a feeling you're going to see thousands of people doing it. I think it's going to be cool to see that you're going to do it.

• 2:21Shaan Puri?

  Well, let's talk about the doing it first. You brought this idea from Jesse Itzler about the misogi. A hard, physical challenge that you do, something that, that makes you a little bit scared, that pushes you past your limits. It's good to do these. And instead of having everybody come up with a misogi, we want to give the community one that we can all kind of share, all do together. And I don't care if you're out of shape, um, don't let that be the reason you don't do this. If you can do pushups on your knees, do pushups on your knees. All right. You might not win the prize, but get it done. You'll be proud of yourself when you get it done. And I think there's an immense, there's an amazing feeling on the other side of doing this and that's who you want to be. Now let's talk about the prizes. So if you want to be eligible for the prizes, you got to do it legit. And you got to have a video camera when you're doing it. Otherwise we don't know if you're, uh, you know, this is not the gentleman's agreement.

• 3:03Shaan Puri?

  You got to actually show some proof if you actually do this thing. We've seen some amazing videos come in. So a couple of people heard about the announcement early and started doing them. Did you see these girls who did them in their peanut butter and jelly costume?

• 3:16Sam Parr?

  That was awesome.

• 3:16Shaan Puri?

  There's a guy who's doing it out in a field in a, just a set of overalls. That's hilarious. It's amazing.

• 3:22Sam Parr?

  All right. And so here's the prizes. So we got the company plunge.com. We got them to give us two cold plunges. I think these are like six or seven grand a piece. So they're going to give them away. We're going to give one to the fastest male, one to the fastest female. And then we got Nike strength to give away a bunch of bumper plates and a whole bunch of workout equipment. That's going to go to three other people. Who are the three other people?

• 3:42Shaan Puri?

  Well, we're, it's our discretion. We're the judges and we're looking for three things. We want, we're looking for creativity. So best dressed is one area I'm looking at. Another one is creativity on the video. And the last one is just inspiration. This is the Rudy award. So for whoever really like, we watched the video and we are rooting for you. You will win a prize as well, but we're all winners. If you do the thing because. I don't know. You had the option not to. Could have easily chickened out. Could have easily said it's too hard. Could have easily said you're too busy, but you didn't take any of those excuses. You're the real winner.

• 4:10Sam Parr?

  And to make sure there's no excuses, we have a timeline on this. It's gonna end on May 12th, which is this Sunday. So you don't actually have a lot of time to get this done. So if you're listening to this, you might go do it like in the next 30 minutes and just get it out the way.

• 4:23Shaan Puri?

  Exactly. All right. I'm excited. My first muscle. Let's go. We gotta get rid of Podbot. Podbot is a plague. It's getting so many people. Don't be caught up in Podbot.

• 4:31Sam Parr?

  And we have to say one last thing. In order to get any of the prizes, you have to subscribe to our YouTube channel and to our podcast on Spotify and on iTunes. You have to subscribe.
