The Problem of Pod-Bod [00:00]
Shaan Puri: Training the legs is key. When you are home alone, a podcast can become a tragedy. Hi, I’m Shaan Puri, and I’m here to talk to you today about a condition that is affecting millions of men and women across the country. Pod-Bod. Pod-Bod is a disease that turns fit people into mush due to the never-ending stream of podcasts that they listen to. If you’ve never seen it, I must warn you, these images are disturbing. If you thought COVID was bad, buckle up. Doctors warned us that Athletic Greens does not cure Pod-Bod.
Person in video: Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.
Shaan Puri: Even those listening to podcasts while walking are not safe.

Introducing My First Muscle [00:55]
Shaan Puri: And as the host of My First Million, I admit, I’m part of the problem. 500 episodes, 50 million downloads. I’m basically a crack dealer for ambitious men with strong Wi-Fi. But today, that changes. This weekend, no podcasts. My First Million proudly presents My First Muscle. A fitness challenge for people who are fitness challenged.
The Challenge Details [01:17]
Shaan Puri: My First Muscle is simple. 100 push-ups, 100 air squats, and 100 burpees. 100 times 100 times 100. That’s the real First Million. So whether you’re built like a French baguette or you’re the greatest physical specimen I’ve ever seen, anyone can enter. Just start the clock, post your time, and may the fastest nerd win. So if you or a loved one is suffering from Pod-Bod, please share this video, tell a friend, save a life.
