- 1:33Speaker 1: most functional bed of any competitor. It's best in class
- 1:37Speaker 1: standard cargo volume. The inner gate folds to a large
- 1:40Speaker 1: step for easily getting in and out of the bed. Right,
- 1:42Speaker 1: maybe you're working real hard, you work in that construction piece,
- 1:45Speaker 1: or you just listen to some heavy weights one day,
- 1:46Speaker 1: got a little tweaking that little back, and you think,
- 1:49Speaker 1: I gotta get this out of my bed. But I
- 1:50Speaker 1: don't really want to be a tough guy right now,
- 1:52Speaker 1: So you rip that thing down, bing bang boom. That
- 1:54Speaker 1: thing's like little steps. Now you're just walking up like

- 2:54Speaker 3: little bit stuff like that.
- 2:55Speaker 1: But when you were when you were looking at the points,
- 2:59Speaker 1: you didn't break stride. Well, it's an amazing thing when
- 3:01Speaker 1: you prepare just a little bit right. We actually talked
- 3:03Speaker 1: about it for five seconds, other than you know, kind
- 3:06Speaker 1: of just diving in head first right to a free
- 3:08Speaker 1: foot pool.

- 3:28Speaker 2: That means a lot. Can we like, let's just let's
- 3:31Speaker 2: start off with this.

- 3:35Speaker 3: reading Nebraska corners or maybe just Lincoln in general.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Like we had it all.
- 3:39Speaker 1: I don't want to go too far into it because
- 3:40Speaker 1: it's living. It's slow living on YouTube, both audio and videos.
- 3:43Speaker 1: We're doing audio and video at first. I don't know
- 3:46Speaker 1: if you guys, just little internal stuff for you at first.

- 18:32Speaker 3: els I go to the left a little bit, and
- 18:34Speaker 3: you know, he's like, he's like he's got a holds
- 18:37Speaker 3: thinking about what.
- 18:39Speaker 6: I like that. Okay, I like that.
- 18:40Speaker 2: That's cool. I don't know that about myself. It's kind
- 18:43Speaker 2: of fun to learn something now.
- 18:45Speaker 1: I think if I'm a physical statue standpoint, absolutely, But
- 18:48Speaker 1: then I opened my mouth and I sound like I'm six,
- 18:50Speaker 1: So it's like it kind of changes that whole process.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Then people play this like limbo.
- 18:53Speaker 1: He's like, it's kind of like doing one of these
- 18:55Speaker 1: like but come on, and you're like, I don't know
- 18:57Speaker 1: what to do with this guy. There is like a
- 19:00Speaker 1: I think there's a moment of like, yeah, missing link,
- 19:02Speaker 1: but he's also like a gentle soul.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Kind of and I can get mad randomly.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Yeah, but I bet you have a very long fuse.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes, and no, it really depends. It really depends,
- 19:12Speaker 1: like you, I think it really really depends in the fuse,
- 19:17Speaker 1: like what the category is, Okay, in the age of
- 19:19Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, like if the word triggered, like there
- 19:22Speaker 1: are a couple of things that'll snap the boy off fast,
- 19:24Speaker 1: like what I don't know if I want to say
- 19:26Speaker 1: out loud, I don't even know if I really anything
- 19:29Speaker 1: that has to do with like, uh, money, If someone
- 19:31Speaker 1: starts talking about money, I get a I get tense fast.
- 19:34Speaker 6: Okay, fine, okay, Yeah, that's let's get a.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Word deal that people are always trying to take from him.
- 19:38Speaker 6: Yeah, because I.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Grew up, I totally get grew up. I get that
- 19:42Speaker 1: I grew up not financially secure. Yeah, and so since
- 19:45Speaker 1: I am now financially secure, my biggest story is like, yeah,
- 19:49Speaker 1: if anybody tries to take this, I'm about to kill
- 19:51Speaker 1: somebody right, break your neck, no doubt, no doubt about.
- 19:54Speaker 6: It, A gentle kid or no.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Uh.
- 19:59Speaker 1: For the most part, then I hit the puberty years
- 20:02Speaker 1: and that definitely got more aggressive. Like I had some
- 20:04Speaker 1: issues with the law a little bit. Yeah, yeah, I
- 20:08Speaker 1: had assault, theft, battery, and robbery in one case, and
- 20:11Speaker 1: then yeah, there was a whole like there was a
- 20:13Speaker 1: phase about five years in my life. Yeah, I hit
- 20:16Speaker 1: them all all but murder and grand theft coo. Yeah,
- 20:19Speaker 1: so I've made it past that. That was a fun phase,
- 20:21Speaker 1: I guess. But uh yeah, I think as I just
- 20:24Speaker 1: get older and I have kids now too, So it's
- 20:26Speaker 1: like I ain't fighting nobody.
- 20:27Speaker 6: For no reason, like an iron marshmallow.
- 20:29Speaker 1: An iron marshmallow, I'll take that. I honestly doesn't even
- 20:32Speaker 1: sound like a bad thing to me.
- 20:33Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like a bad thing. No, it really doesn't.
- 20:36Speaker 2: Kind of safe, you know what I mean, kind of nice.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Yeah, it does, like you feel kind of protected, but
- 20:40Speaker 1: at the same time you can have a conversation.
- 20:42Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a heart in there. For sure, you're dangerous,
- 20:44Speaker 2: but you can you're reeling it in now.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Yeah, what about you, because you're like a CEO of
- 20:48Speaker 1: a big time company. I'm sure there's a lot of.
- 20:51Speaker 6: Intimidation that only has iron inside got you the opposite.
- 20:55Speaker 2: So you're soft and eating.
- 20:56Speaker 6: Like real soft and friendly and then.
- 20:58Speaker 3: All of a sudden, right have the ability. Oh absolutely,
- 21:02Speaker 3: I would agree with that. I mean, you you're the
- 21:03Speaker 3: CEO of barstool.
- 21:04Speaker 1: You you beat it, you sideway sometimes for sure, working
- 21:08Speaker 1: at barschool.
- 21:08Speaker 2: You beat out how many people like eighty dudes white dude.
- 21:12Speaker 3: So yeah, eighty white dudes, which obviously you know, barstools
- 21:15Speaker 3: known for misogyny bros and dudes.
- 21:19Speaker 1: That's kind of our thing too, the whole misogyny thing. Yeah,
- 21:22Speaker 1: you're like the second woman to ever be on this buck.
- 21:24Speaker 2: We needed this.
- 21:26Speaker 6: I'm like, the diversity.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Yeah, we're checking a box today.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Next to a big deal.
- 21:32Speaker 2: When I was in Vegas, Uh, I was in the
- 21:34Speaker 2: hot tip.
- 21:35Speaker 3: I forget who was I want to say it was
- 21:36Speaker 3: teamer last name team or shout out teamer.
- 21:38Speaker 2: He's like but he he said, uh, you need to
- 21:43Speaker 2: have you need to have more black people on the bus. Okay.
- 21:45Speaker 3: I was like, bro, we got dudes on all the time,
- 21:47Speaker 3: and I start rattling guys off. He's like, yeah, but
- 21:49Speaker 3: you know recently, just like I mean, we got to
- 21:52Speaker 3: get people to Nashville.
- 21:53Speaker 2: It's not like we're not trying to have We'll have anybody.
- 21:56Speaker 2: We're trying to have, right, I'll come here most anyone.
- 21:59Speaker 6: Yeah, oh are you discerning?
- 22:01Speaker 1: No, No, we'll talk to I was gonna play it
- 22:03Speaker 1: that for a little bit, but I'm like, yeah, this
- 22:05Speaker 1: is also gonna be recorded, so I probably don't want
- 22:06Speaker 1: to play that game right now.
- 22:07Speaker 2: It comes out in twenty years.
- 22:09Speaker 6: Okay, So how much do you buy the bus for?
- 22:11Speaker 1: This bus was two thousand dollars cash. Came with all
- 22:14Speaker 1: the stickers and if you see like this a little
- 22:15Speaker 1: purple at the top.
- 22:17Speaker 6: Those were pretty racist offensive stickers.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Yeah, well I would say like a past defensive just
- 22:23Speaker 1: strictly racist.
- 22:24Speaker 6: Oh just straight up.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, there were a skip all the middle,
- 22:27Speaker 1: pretty aggressive, pretty fast.
- 22:29Speaker 2: So we put about eight into it to do a
- 22:30Speaker 2: little soundproofing.
- 22:31Speaker 6: Who who owned it?
- 22:33Speaker 2: Some guy.
- 22:34Speaker 1: We were at this place cat Wedgewood, Houston, just off Wedgewood,
- 22:39Speaker 1: and in the back of this warehouse it was like
- 22:41Speaker 1: this bus and we didn't know about it. We were
- 22:42Speaker 1: working with this different production company and they're like, hey,
- 22:45Speaker 1: like we're kind of going through ideas, like what are
- 22:47Speaker 1: we gonna do for a podcast? What's the deal? And
- 22:50Speaker 1: some of these guys brought up the bus. Yeah, two
- 22:53Speaker 1: pieces of how terrible the name is that? Two boys?
- 22:56Speaker 1: It was off the two pieces in a pod.
- 22:57Speaker 6: But it was that sounds like you're no.
- 23:00Speaker 1: I think it was Taylor's no yang on.
- 23:03Speaker 2: You know.
- 23:03Speaker 1: My idea was, well, you want to call it the Den.
- 23:07Speaker 1: I'm like, buddy, what are we doing for wolves? You know,
- 23:10Speaker 1: David Goggins and Joe Rogan, That's not who we are.
- 23:13Speaker 2: But Taylor came up with.
- 23:14Speaker 3: The two boys in a bus and uh, some gallon
- 23:17Speaker 3: Chicago mentioned bus with the boys one bus.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a play on two girls, one cup,
- 23:21Speaker 1: not two pieces in a pod.
- 23:23Speaker 3: I wouldn't even think of two pieces in a pod
- 23:25Speaker 3: without you saying it.
- 23:27Speaker 2: That's untrue. You grew up in Missouri and you went
- 23:29Speaker 2: to Nebraska.
- 23:30Speaker 3: Yeah, but right rublishing though, I wanted the Den, and
- 23:35Speaker 3: I never really deviated until we found like talking about
- 23:38Speaker 3: doing the for the boys thing.
- 23:39Speaker 6: You should make a bar here called the Den.
- 23:42Speaker 2: We're actually talking about making a ball called the bus stop.
- 23:45Speaker 5: Yeah, it'd be amazing, one hundred percent do that. You
- 23:47Speaker 5: know we're opening a bar here, right, do you know that?
- 23:49Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 23:49Speaker 3: I feel like sometimes you guys might keep stuff under
- 23:51Speaker 3: the wraps.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Now let the boys know.
- 23:54Speaker 6: Oh, I'll tell the boys.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Yeah, we're ready to hear you.
- 23:57Speaker 5: Guys should be like a huge part of it. We
- 23:58Speaker 5: should make like a whole year action in the middle.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Of anything you see in this podcast is contractually binding.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Go ahead, Yeah, when is that opening?
- 24:10Speaker 6: It should open? I want to say, August, is.
- 24:14Speaker 2: That why Dave was wanting to come to Nashville for
- 24:16Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 24:17Speaker 6: I don't. I don't know. He doesn't understand how cold
- 24:19Speaker 6: it is here.
- 24:20Speaker 2: Yeah. Coming at that time, I thought it was ridiculous.
- 24:22Speaker 6: It was one of no storm. I was like, that's
- 24:24Speaker 6: not going to go.
- 24:25Speaker 3: Yeah, he talks about he was on his pot talking
- 24:26Speaker 3: about like seasonal depression and stuff.
- 24:28Speaker 2: I'm thinking, like, you ain't coming to Nashville and getting this.
- 24:31Speaker 6: It's a great gambling state for us.
- 24:33Speaker 2: Yeah. Did you guys just open up when in Tennessee.
- 24:36Speaker 6: Like a month ago?
- 24:37Speaker 2: Yeah? But yeah, I love the idea you guys are
- 24:40Speaker 2: looking down.
- 24:42Speaker 5: I was looking at it yesterday and Nashville is all
- 24:44Speaker 5: like when you look at downtown Nashville, it's like the
- 24:47Speaker 5: Eric you know, Jason al Dean, Eric Church, Like everybody's
- 24:51Speaker 5: got a bar.
- 24:51Speaker 6: You guys should have bar.
- 24:53Speaker 1: The boys are I think, like a revolving door of bars.
- 24:57Speaker 1: What they do here is like they kind of pick
- 24:59Speaker 1: and they least something out like two years and will
- 25:01Speaker 1: be like Jason Alden's bar, and then a couple of
- 25:02Speaker 1: years from that it'll be in Brown's bar.
- 25:04Speaker 6: So it didn't work, just work.
- 25:06Speaker 1: No, everything on Broadway is gonna work. If you have
- 25:08Speaker 1: a property on Broadway, there's gonna be so much foot traffic,
- 25:11Speaker 1: there's no way you're not gonna make money. I think
- 25:12Speaker 1: it's just like trying to keep up with times and
- 25:14Speaker 1: so like they're in this phase.
- 25:15Speaker 2: Of like, so Eric Church is hot right now the
- 25:18Speaker 2: bar right Eric Church.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Is probably I mean he's gotta be top five contemporary
- 25:22Speaker 1: artists right now, made a big, big chunk and like
- 25:25Speaker 1: the tens, I think they're kind of playing to like
- 25:28Speaker 1: our age group right now hot, Yeah, because they got
- 25:31Speaker 1: FGL House too, right. FGL House is right around the corner.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Miranda Lambert's is right in the corner.
- 25:35Speaker 6: That's right.
- 25:36Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's kind of what they do.
- 25:37Speaker 1: And then in a couple of years that will change.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Like Old Red is a song of who's Blake Shelton's?
- 25:43Speaker 2: Yeah, is it you guys?
- 25:45Speaker 6: Pro break Blake Shelton.
- 25:47Speaker 2: I don't know if there were a size to pick
- 25:49Speaker 2: broke up.
- 25:50Speaker 6: With Miranda Lambert. Now he's with fun.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Well, yeah, so here's the deal with that. I actually
- 25:54Speaker 1: think all's fair in love and war. Right, So he
- 25:58Speaker 1: cheated or she cheated because they aren't.
- 26:00Speaker 6: Meant to be.
- 26:01Speaker 2: What's that?
- 26:01Speaker 6: They just weren't meant to be?
- 26:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
- 26:03Speaker 1: But Mariana Lambert came with an album right after they
- 26:05Speaker 1: broke up, basically insinuating that she was cheating.
- 26:08Speaker 2: Now, I don't know if that's true or not.
- 26:09Speaker 1: And then Blake Shelton came up a bunch of songs
- 26:11Speaker 1: about how his heart was broken, blah blah blah.
- 26:13Speaker 2: And I think.
- 26:15Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm gonna pick sides, yeah, I'm probably
- 26:17Speaker 1: gonna pick Mariana Lambert's side. That chick is a bad ass.
- 26:19Speaker 6: He is a badass.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Actually, she is my favorite women country singer for sure.
- 26:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know enough about it.
- 26:24Speaker 1: But Blake Shelton's way more famous and very tall, very tall,
- 26:27Speaker 1: handsome guy. Look, yeah, he's got a bubbly personality. He's
- 26:31Speaker 1: got a thick head of hair. It's really all you
- 26:33Speaker 1: need when you get to that age and what you want.
- 26:35Speaker 6: Yeah, you can keep your hair, You're good.
- 26:36Speaker 1: Yeah, And I agree, I get in situation, right, I'm
- 26:41Speaker 1: losing it a little bit. What's that the hair? She's like,
- 26:44Speaker 1: if you can keep your hair, you good.
- 26:45Speaker 2: She looked right at you too.
- 26:47Speaker 6: But why don't you just use rogaine?
- 26:51Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 26:52Speaker 5: I feel like, uh, because you're like in the baby, Ah,
- 26:54Speaker 5: don't do that, right.
- 26:55Speaker 2: I feel like I want to do something rogae and
- 26:57Speaker 2: that's not you're not okay to use.
- 26:58Speaker 6: It's not great if you're trying to a baby.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, that's already real. Yes, now we're gonna have more.
- 27:05Speaker 1: You're both getting kind of old, ye, how I think
- 27:07Speaker 1: about that.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's back in the that's back in the
- 27:10Speaker 3: long game, bro, that's back in like Bible days when
- 27:12Speaker 3: you need to have it. You need to have kids early.
- 27:14Speaker 3: People are having kids all the time now of later dates,
- 27:17Speaker 3: are they Yeah, people are, People are living longer, finding
- 27:20Speaker 3: out new stuff.
- 27:21Speaker 1: You know, Talen's dad and my wife. Her father has
- 27:24Speaker 1: a kid who's three months younger than my oldest child.
- 27:28Speaker 1: No way, Yes, it was a bit of a deal
- 27:30Speaker 1: for sure.
- 27:32Speaker 2: There's a good point. Yes, well I'm.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Actually playing into your argument. My wife, No, we're dad. Yeah,
- 27:37Speaker 1: and his wife not his first wife now older? She
- 27:41Speaker 1: I think she's again her mid thirties close to forty. Well, no,
- 27:45Speaker 1: he has two kids. No, my wife is twenty twenty eight.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Oh okay she uh yeah, she has two kids. Wait
- 27:52Speaker 1: the wife of the dad, Helen's dad has two kids
- 27:56Speaker 1: or three kids, now three kids. And then we got
- 27:59Speaker 1: pregnant and then she got pregnant like three months after
- 28:02Speaker 1: we got pregnant.
- 28:02Speaker 6: Does that take your wife off or is she cool?
- 28:04Speaker 2: I don't think so. I mean it's kind of like
- 28:06Speaker 2: like this philosophy on this bus. Do what you want.
- 28:09Speaker 1: I'm saying, if you want to have another kid, that's
- 28:10Speaker 1: for you're in your relationship, then go do your thing.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Do your kids want to play together? We haven't been
- 28:15Speaker 1: up to Canada in like four years. It's like the
- 28:18Speaker 1: the COVID stuff and then there's a passport deal less year. Anyway,
- 28:21Speaker 1: we're going up this summer, though, outstanding play a little hockey,
- 28:25Speaker 1: because you.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Guys almost got caught over there.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Not a big hockey guy. When you're up there, you
- 28:29Speaker 1: kind of got to pretend to play hockey, like, oh yeah,
- 28:31Speaker 1: I do that, but uh it's like center tough on
- 28:35Speaker 1: the ice, a beast or terrible. I would edge on
- 28:38Speaker 1: the side of being terrible.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Right now.
- 28:40Speaker 1: But I feel like if you give me a couple
- 28:41Speaker 1: of months, oh, no question about it. I don't doubt that.
- 28:44Speaker 1: I used to play when I was younger.
- 28:45Speaker 6: Okay, you used to.
- 28:47Speaker 2: It's not like riudning a bike.
- 28:48Speaker 6: You don't think I think it.
- 28:50Speaker 1: No.
- 28:50Speaker 2: I got on the skates about five years ago.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Ankle bending I have. My insteps were basically touching the
- 28:57Speaker 1: Yeah it was tough. I was holding, I was holding
- 29:00Speaker 1: the corners. But you play a lot of hockey, Yeah,
- 29:02Speaker 1: I used to. It's your sport. Yeah, I like to
- 29:04Speaker 1: get into that.
- 29:05Speaker 5: I just spored. I wanted a new sport. I like hockey.
- 29:08Speaker 5: I think it's a great sport. I think it's very
- 29:09Speaker 5: violent sport.
- 29:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I've done a lot. You've done a lot for
- 29:12Speaker 2: women's hockey.
- 29:13Speaker 6: I've tried.
- 29:14Speaker 3: What what progress do you feel like you've made in
- 29:16Speaker 3: the whole thing, because it's not something I followed very
- 29:18Speaker 3: closely outside of all of the outside of a lot
- 29:22Speaker 3: of the social media stuff that I see, But it
- 29:23Speaker 3: seems like you've done a lot of stuff for womens.
- 29:25Speaker 5: Women's hockey is really insular, like it's it's actually kind
- 29:29Speaker 5: of interesting. It's a sport that's driven in large part
- 29:33Speaker 5: by Canadians. Canadians, by their nature, are more concerned. It's
- 29:37Speaker 5: just conservative. It's tight. Hockey's tight. So there's still not
- 29:43Speaker 5: a women's league. There's still I don't think there's been
- 29:45Speaker 5: like a huge amount of progress. The problem is is
- 29:48Speaker 5: that to make women's sports interesting, you have to market
- 29:52Speaker 5: it like men's sports.
- 29:54Speaker 6: Like there has to be violence, there has to be drama,
- 29:56Speaker 6: there have.
- 29:57Speaker 5: To be characters, people have to have beef with one another, like,
- 30:00Speaker 5: there has to be a storyline that people are interested in.
- 30:03Speaker 5: And people tend to market female athletes as being perfect.
- 30:06Speaker 5: So it's like everybody's great for you know, it's it's
- 30:10Speaker 5: the perfection is almost uninteresting I think.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Anyways, Yeah, no one's gonna watch a sitcom and perfection, right,
- 30:17Speaker 1: And I think they're wrong.
- 30:18Speaker 5: See the hot mess and the disaster, and it's like,
- 30:20Speaker 5: who's the you know, who's the Dennis Rodman of women's hockey.
- 30:27Speaker 5: You have a Dennis Rodman, then you want to watch you.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Know, that would be interesting to see a woman Dennis Rodman, But.
- 30:33Speaker 1: How do you so the general and goal is that
- 30:35Speaker 1: that women's sports get paid the same amount as men's sports.
- 30:38Speaker 6: Well, I think that's everybody says that, Like, that's.
- 30:40Speaker 5: That's we're all like in the goal. Yeah, but you
- 30:44Speaker 5: have to what is it to back it up? Like
- 30:45Speaker 5: what does it take to get paid like men? Like
- 30:47Speaker 5: how many people watch a Titans game?
- 30:50Speaker 6: Right?
- 30:50Speaker 5: Which drives the whole economics of how you guys get paid,
- 30:52Speaker 5: and how the coaches get paid, how the teams get paid,
- 30:55Speaker 5: how the owners make money. Unless people are watching women's sports,
- 30:59Speaker 5: there's the money's never gonna flow. And you know you
- 31:03Speaker 5: it's not just gonna be women watching women's sports. You
- 31:06Speaker 5: have to make women's sports appeal to men.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Why do you think people have such a hard time
- 31:10Speaker 2: understanding that?
- 31:11Speaker 1: I think that they because understanding what that you do.
- 31:14Speaker 1: People can't just pay Yeah, people just pay right.
- 31:17Speaker 3: People will cry out we need equal this, or men
- 31:20Speaker 3: get paid this and that and the other.
- 31:21Speaker 2: But you zoom out a little bit. I feel like
- 31:23Speaker 2: it's not that hard money.
- 31:24Speaker 1: It's not there.
- 31:25Speaker 5: It's definitely not a hard concept. But then there's also
- 31:27Speaker 5: there is injustice in it. Like you look at in
- 31:29Speaker 5: the US women's soccer versus men's soccer. Who gives a
- 31:33Speaker 5: shit about men's soccer? In the US, women's soccer is
- 31:35Speaker 5: pretty amazing.
- 31:36Speaker 2: You guys, Come on, people, come on soccer guy.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Here, I feel Likeshville, Seashville.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Yeahbout the boys?
- 31:47Speaker 6: All right? Do you watch religiously? Are you like a
- 31:51Speaker 6: Premier League guy?
- 31:51Speaker 2: If you're gonna, if you're gonna tell use it to
- 31:53Speaker 2: use your mic?
- 31:55Speaker 6: Okay? How much did that cost?
- 31:56Speaker 2: Four grand?
- 31:57Speaker 6: That's a lot of money. I thought, so worth it
- 32:00Speaker 6: for the boys. Did you pay for it yourself? I did?
- 32:04Speaker 6: Did you go to every game?
- 32:05Speaker 2: No? God?
- 32:06Speaker 6: No, why because there's too many?
- 32:08Speaker 2: So they played from like February to November. It's crazy.
- 32:11Speaker 6: Okay, it's a long season.
- 32:13Speaker 2: I didn't realize it.
- 32:14Speaker 1: That is one of the positives about playing football.
- 32:16Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's tight.
- 32:17Speaker 1: It's six months on six months off baseball, you have
- 32:20Speaker 1: three months that hockey is similar that way too.
- 32:22Speaker 2: It's just like, God, how.
- 32:24Speaker 6: Much is a season ticket?
- 32:26Speaker 5: How much does it cost to be a season ticket
- 32:28Speaker 5: holder of the Titans?
- 32:28Speaker 6: Do you think?
- 32:29Speaker 2: I don't know. I have absolutely no idea.
- 32:31Speaker 6: Would like one hundred thousand dollars?
- 32:35Speaker 2: No, because to have a box for the season is
- 32:37Speaker 2: like one hundred and twenty.
- 32:39Speaker 6: Okay, so if you if you.
- 32:42Speaker 1: Have a box with but the thing is if you
- 32:43Speaker 1: get a box at Nissan Stadium, you have a first
- 32:46Speaker 1: right refusal to any other tickets, Like if a Jason
- 32:49Speaker 1: Alden or Miranda Lambert or anybody that comes and plays there,
- 32:52Speaker 1: who comes, you can go and sit there and watch
- 32:53Speaker 1: that or whatever. Super Slam WW is coming in July.
- 32:57Speaker 1: If you want to go see that, you have first
- 32:59Speaker 1: right WW.
- 33:01Speaker 2: No.
- 33:01Speaker 3: I wish it was though back in the day hard
- 33:03Speaker 3: to get into it, the stone cold days and everything else.
- 33:06Speaker 3: I feel like, yeah, I feel like it's just it's
- 33:08Speaker 3: just different now it is, you know what I mean,
- 33:11Speaker 3: plays in the more of like a superhero characters.
- 33:14Speaker 6: It's safer than it used to be, right right, right right.
- 33:17Speaker 1: I feel like getting into it at thirty years old
- 33:19Speaker 1: would be tough knowing it's fake. Like I feel like
- 33:21Speaker 1: the time for to get inceptioned, yeah was when I
- 33:24Speaker 1: was six.
- 33:24Speaker 6: Or younger, when you were doing Santa.
- 33:26Speaker 2: Yeah. Still I am in a way. There's still a
- 33:28Speaker 2: piece of hope with Santa.
- 33:29Speaker 6: There's a word for the God. There's a word for this.
- 33:32Speaker 5: There's a word for like there's a word for when
- 33:36Speaker 5: you know something isn't true but you still believe in
- 33:38Speaker 5: it anyways, Like for Santa w W.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, maybe life could be in general, Yeah, a
- 33:44Speaker 1: general thing.
- 33:45Speaker 2: WW.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Though McAfee's crushing WW. He's really just doing everything right
- 33:49Speaker 1: now is And I don't know if you can talk
- 33:50Speaker 1: about too much obviously, anything you don't want to talk about,
- 33:53Speaker 1: we won't. But like, what was that process like with McAfee.
- 33:55Speaker 1: Was he leaving us?
- 33:57Speaker 2: No?
- 33:57Speaker 1: No, no, like coming first, coming to the barstow?
- 34:00Speaker 6: Yeah, well macan is awesome. It's so funny.
- 34:02Speaker 5: I had a call with Twitch yesterday and the Twitch
- 34:05Speaker 5: people are like.
- 34:07Speaker 6: You may you may be aware of Pat McAfee and I.
- 34:09Speaker 5: Was like, yeah, but McAfee was just and Mackview was like,
- 34:15Speaker 5: you guys, he's just a he's just a huge talent,
- 34:17Speaker 5: like he just his personality was so big on the field.
- 34:21Speaker 6: He was so great at Twitter. He just was.
- 34:25Speaker 5: And then I don't know if you've ever seen him
- 34:27Speaker 5: in person at a live show like he his energy
- 34:30Speaker 5: is electric, like he he brings it in a way
- 34:35Speaker 5: that very few people do, really different than a Dave
- 34:38Speaker 5: or a big cat like his.
- 34:40Speaker 6: He projects so much and so well. So he was
- 34:45Speaker 6: a big get for us.
- 34:46Speaker 5: I mean, he was one of the first athletes that
- 34:48Speaker 5: we I mean outside of Whitney. But he was one
- 34:50Speaker 5: of the first athletes we had brought on. He was
- 34:53Speaker 5: making the transition from you know, obviously playing to you know,
- 34:58Speaker 5: his media life.
- 35:00Speaker 6: I think he learned a lot. We taught him a lot.
- 35:03Speaker 1: Yeah, Dave taught him how to bet right. That was
- 35:05Speaker 1: that was the whole thing for a while, even in business.
- 35:07Speaker 6: Too, business betting distribution. How he may.
- 35:10Speaker 5: I mean we built him an office, we hired you know,
- 35:13Speaker 5: we built him a whole world, which you know was
- 35:15Speaker 5: a really good We learned a lot, He learned a lot.
- 35:19Speaker 1: But when when he is when he started doing the
- 35:21Speaker 1: teaching a bunch of business stuff, was he like super
- 35:24Speaker 1: eager to learn that stuff? Yeah, yeah, very aggressive about
- 35:28Speaker 1: it and looking back on it, if you look at
- 35:31Speaker 1: it at hindsights everything where you're like, Okay, his whole
- 35:33Speaker 1: plan was to do his own thing.
- 35:35Speaker 6: Definitely the whole time.
- 35:36Speaker 2: But yeah, for sure. Does that make you feel sour
- 35:38Speaker 2: at all?
- 35:38Speaker 1: No?
- 35:39Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it was mutually beneficial for you know,
- 35:42Speaker 5: could it have gone on longer?
- 35:44Speaker 2: Yes?
- 35:45Speaker 5: Would I have had him leave differently? Definitely? But did
- 35:49Speaker 5: he learn a lot? Did we learn a lot? Did
- 35:51Speaker 5: we get a lot of value? He got a lot
- 35:52Speaker 5: of value, right, and I'm so happy for him, Like
- 35:55Speaker 5: I truly think he's crushing it.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that FanDuel protracte was unbelievable. But I saw
- 36:01Speaker 1: a thing that Dave was talking about that there was
- 36:03Speaker 1: at one point FanDuel could have had Barstool and Pat
- 36:07Speaker 1: McAfee for around similar numbers correct, which is which is
- 36:11Speaker 1: wild insane.
- 36:11Speaker 5: I mean then I had talked to Fandle about one
- 36:13Speaker 5: hundred and fifty million dollars price tag for Barstool, which
- 36:16Speaker 5: in hindsight is crazy, yeah, slash dumb.
- 36:19Speaker 1: But well it's all dumb. Yeah, this whole concept that
- 36:22Speaker 1: we're that you guys are doing, that we're doing. We
- 36:24Speaker 1: talked about all the time, how incredible it is that
- 36:26Speaker 1: people just want to listen to us.
- 36:27Speaker 6: But it's the future.
- 36:28Speaker 5: I think it's so interesting, Like, yeah, it's so crazy stupid,
- 36:31Speaker 5: But then you look at traditional media and you're like
- 36:33Speaker 5: that's worse.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Yeah, well, no, no doubt, I one hundred percent agree
- 36:37Speaker 1: with that.
- 36:38Speaker 2: I mean I stream like YouTube, TV or apps like Netflix.
- 36:41Speaker 6: What do you watch? What you watch? Sports?
- 36:44Speaker 3: It's mainly for sports, Yeah, mainly for sports, and if not,
- 36:46Speaker 3: it's usually like background noise, So like, you know two and.
- 36:49Speaker 2: A half Men.
- 36:50Speaker 6: Oh, okay, no, not news.
- 36:52Speaker 2: My news is on Twitter.
- 36:53Speaker 6: Okay, okay, but two and a half Men, family guy,
- 36:56Speaker 6: comedy guy.
- 36:57Speaker 3: Yeah, if I'm playing his background noise, I think yeah.
- 37:01Speaker 2: But uh, Missouri Midwest?
- 37:03Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Missouri.
- 37:04Speaker 2: What do you think it is? I don't know. It's
- 37:06Speaker 2: kind of like in the middle. It might just be
- 37:07Speaker 2: the mid.
- 37:08Speaker 3: Well, some people like to play until you like to
- 37:10Speaker 3: be Southern and they'll fake their accidents.
- 37:12Speaker 6: Kind of in the middle.
- 37:13Speaker 2: There aren't Yeah, you got to pick your own personality.
- 37:16Speaker 6: Right right, Missouri?
- 37:18Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, it's where I grew up.
- 37:20Speaker 3: You're going to go back to live. No, I don't
- 37:23Speaker 3: love it like that. I think I just appreciate where
- 37:25Speaker 3: I grew up.
- 37:25Speaker 2: You know what I mean. You grew up in a
- 37:27Speaker 2: small town.
- 37:28Speaker 3: I go back and you look at it and you're like,
- 37:29Speaker 3: I can't believe I fucking yeah.
- 37:32Speaker 2: And when I'm at where I'm at now, growing up
- 37:34Speaker 2: from here.
- 37:35Speaker 1: But I think the half of our audience right now
- 37:38Speaker 1: is like, fuck this guy.
- 37:39Speaker 2: There's like, you know, there's like three thousand people in Voluntaire.
- 37:43Speaker 3: But yeah, I love Missouri in a way that I
- 37:46Speaker 3: appreciate it, you know what I mean, like just my
- 37:49Speaker 3: upbringing and everything else.
- 37:50Speaker 5: Don't you guys think you're similar to the macafew thing?
- 37:53Speaker 5: Like this is tuition for you?
- 37:54Speaker 2: I think similar in what way? Never paid tuition?
- 37:57Speaker 6: What is it?
- 37:58Speaker 2: What does that mean?
- 37:59Speaker 6: That it's an education?
- 38:00Speaker 5: Like you're you you know you get audience from Barstool Sports,
- 38:05Speaker 5: You're learning how to publish video, social audio, you're making
- 38:09Speaker 5: good money from it. You're learning how you're thinking about
- 38:12Speaker 5: how do you build a bigger world around the bus
- 38:15Speaker 5: and the brand?
- 38:16Speaker 6: Like I think it's really similar.
- 38:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's I think it's really similar.
- 38:20Speaker 1: I think it'd be if you were to work with
- 38:22Speaker 1: a company like Barstool and not take the time to
- 38:25Speaker 1: learn the ins and outs of how your company works,
- 38:28Speaker 1: you're an idiot, Like why wouldn't you take advantage of
- 38:31Speaker 1: like this crash course on business which Will has done
- 38:33Speaker 1: a much better job than I have, but just watching,
- 38:36Speaker 1: Like I think the whole point is is like how
- 38:38Speaker 1: do you get to a sustained How do you get
- 38:40Speaker 1: your own small business busting with the boys to a
- 38:43Speaker 1: place where it can be sustainable on its own? And
- 38:46Speaker 1: I think that if any other company is doing that
- 38:49Speaker 1: under an umbrella of something like Barstool isn't doing that.
- 38:51Speaker 2: It's like kind of like.
- 38:52Speaker 6: Why, yeah, no, I agree with that.
- 38:53Speaker 5: I think that there's very few companies that are as
- 38:56Speaker 5: open as we are to that, right, Like, that's what
- 38:59Speaker 5: makes bart so special.
- 39:00Speaker 6: You have done a great job, I think, an excellent job.
- 39:03Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the kids really picked it up.
- 39:06Speaker 1: He's I say, I've said this a whole bunch of
- 39:08Speaker 1: times that, especially on the Ryan Whitney podcast too, is
- 39:10Speaker 1: like this bust one be what it is without him,
- 39:13Speaker 1: Like will.
- 39:14Speaker 2: Make this on the trail, but don't do that everything.
- 39:17Speaker 2: I'll just joke.
- 39:18Speaker 1: Yeah, there was like Will Will knew his transition was
- 39:21Speaker 1: coming and picked the perfect time it's on it to
- 39:24Speaker 1: get it, to get into it and start learning.
- 39:26Speaker 2: So I take no, it's all the time for the boy,
- 39:28Speaker 2: But I haven't.
- 39:28Speaker 5: Think it's true for people who work at Barcel, right,
- 39:30Speaker 5: Like that's there's a ton of people at Barcel who
- 39:33Speaker 5: don't take advantage of.
- 39:34Speaker 1: It, which is wild because it's like the guy Trent
- 39:37Speaker 1: when we first went in there the first time, big
- 39:40Speaker 1: Bachelor guy and he walks in.
- 39:41Speaker 2: Now he's doing the luggage thing.
- 39:42Speaker 1: And now he's got two hundred thousan followers on Twitter.
- 39:44Speaker 1: It's like, you can you can have your own thing now.
- 39:46Speaker 1: You can literally make your own tiny business through that.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Like you need to make sure you're doing everything you can.
- 39:51Speaker 1: He's just one example. Yeah, and uh, I mean all
- 39:54Speaker 1: those people in there. You can't just be like the
- 39:57Speaker 1: whole the whole goal is not to be a pawn
- 39:58Speaker 1: in the grand scheme.
- 39:59Speaker 2: It's how do you turn yourself into a queen?
- 40:01Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right. How do you how do you feel?
- 40:04Speaker 5: Like sometimes I struggle and like when you're on the
- 40:08Speaker 5: field and there's stuff you don't want to talk about
- 40:10Speaker 5: and there's shit that shouldn't go on the air, but
- 40:12Speaker 5: you have this how do you balance the two?
- 40:15Speaker 2: Well, it really depends on the person.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Like for me with football, I just have a general
- 40:20Speaker 1: to keep everything more vanilla.
- 40:22Speaker 2: But there's no reason for me.
- 40:23Speaker 1: I have my own outlet to say what I want,
- 40:25Speaker 1: so to the the basic media. When I go and
- 40:28Speaker 1: talk on a weekly basis, it's say the basic things.
- 40:32Speaker 1: You know, don't give the other team bulletin board material
- 40:35Speaker 1: and move on to Sunday. That's kind of all you
- 40:37Speaker 1: really need to do here.
- 40:38Speaker 6: You like they'll belichick this.
- 40:40Speaker 1: Yes, Yes to an extent. Obviously, I put a little
- 40:42Speaker 1: more flavor in next. That's just who I am. Ye.
- 40:44Speaker 2: But yeah, I.
- 40:45Speaker 1: Never say anything like, oh, we're going to fuck this
- 40:47Speaker 1: team up with this guy's trash. That would just it's
- 40:49Speaker 1: just stupid to do that. When it comes to this,
- 40:51Speaker 1: it's like you can kind of say whatever you want,
- 40:53Speaker 1: Like I have rules. I follow rules that Mike Vrabel
- 40:56Speaker 1: or head coach, is kind of put in place, like
- 40:58Speaker 1: don't talk about injuries, don't talk about.
- 41:00Speaker 2: About guys, compare guys.
- 41:02Speaker 1: Don't talk about scheme, and then kind of speak for yourself,
- 41:05Speaker 1: don't speak for anybody else. Those are his rules as
- 41:08Speaker 1: far as like when you go to talk to the
- 41:10Speaker 1: media in general on the team. So I would feel like,
- 41:12Speaker 1: I figure, it's it's smart for me to do that
- 41:14Speaker 1: here too, like playing scheme, teams plays, what defenses are doing,
- 41:17Speaker 1: what we do, what we like to lean on, because
- 41:19Speaker 1: it's like, why would you give anything up that another
- 41:21Speaker 1: team can look? All right, we play the Titans in October, Yeah,
- 41:25Speaker 1: make sure we have that down. So it's not really
- 41:27Speaker 1: it's not very difficult to navigate that part. The hard
- 41:30Speaker 1: part for me to Navigate is doing this during the
- 41:33Speaker 1: season because like on a win, everything is great.
- 41:36Speaker 2: People love you, think it's amazing.
- 41:37Speaker 1: You lose, everyone's like this fucking guy and this podcast
- 41:40Speaker 1: what a piece of shit?
- 41:41Speaker 2: All he cares about it.
- 41:42Speaker 1: No, I think the locker room they are people have
- 41:45Speaker 1: become fans. I went when I'm playing football games, guys
- 41:48Speaker 1: will come up to me during games timeouts and be like, hey,
- 41:50Speaker 1: give me on the bush.
- 41:51Speaker 6: That's great.
- 41:51Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll give them that. Maybe we'll see, you know,
- 41:54Speaker 1: kind of shrug them off a little bit.
- 41:56Speaker 2: Tell them your uh, your how you interview? Tell me
- 41:58Speaker 2: your best story. Oh yeah.
- 42:00Speaker 1: We had one kid he actually actually told him if
- 42:02Speaker 1: he made the team because he was undrafted free agent.
- 42:03Speaker 1: I was like, if you made the team, come in
- 42:04Speaker 1: the pod. And he's a d tackle from Michigan State
- 42:07Speaker 1: and he's like, let me get on the bus. Let
- 42:08Speaker 1: me on the bus, and I'm like, tell me your
- 42:09Speaker 1: best story right now, and he usually just freeze his
- 42:12Speaker 1: dudes up, like if he you don't have the stories.
- 42:15Speaker 2: Like what are you to come on the bus for?
- 42:16Speaker 5: Then?
- 42:16Speaker 2: To do? What? Sit here and be like you're here,
- 42:18Speaker 2: You've made it.
- 42:18Speaker 1: On the air, there is camera so yeah. We usually
- 42:22Speaker 1: do that on the on the field too. If there's
- 42:24Speaker 1: like a long TV timeout and I'm around the guy
- 42:26Speaker 1: and the askah, give me your best story right now,
- 42:28Speaker 1: and they'll kind of be like, well, you know, I
- 42:29Speaker 1: gotta take a fucking walk. Then yeah, there's the reason.
- 42:32Speaker 2: Why I'm doing this and you're not.
- 42:33Speaker 1: They go scoot, buddy, and then you're like, bam, yeah,
- 42:36Speaker 1: so what did you This is a podcast for you,
- 42:39Speaker 1: not for us, not for me.
- 42:41Speaker 3: I wanted to go off the you were talking about
- 42:42Speaker 3: the Mike Rabel like values that you kind of brought
- 42:44Speaker 3: on the bus. You guys have been talking about doing
- 42:46Speaker 3: core values now, and then I listened to Dave and
- 42:49Speaker 3: Dave's like, I don't know what the you know, he
- 42:51Speaker 3: hates it, and then he hears somebody He's like, yay,
- 42:53Speaker 3: I drive with those. Why do you feel like it's
- 42:55Speaker 3: been important to bring on core values? You feel like
- 42:57Speaker 3: it's being because you guys have grown how many employees
- 42:59Speaker 3: over the last year over seventies?
- 43:01Speaker 5: So when I got to Barsol twenty sixteen, there were
- 43:03Speaker 5: fifteen of us. I guess like it was super small,
- 43:06Speaker 5: like it was like this not even this big as
- 43:09Speaker 5: as your space.
- 43:10Speaker 2: Is a short bus.
- 43:10Speaker 5: It is a short bus. Yeah, just because well's on it.
- 43:14Speaker 2: Yeah, no question. How do you always say hit kitchen
- 43:17Speaker 2: hands that stuff? Ok, that's I welcome it. You know
- 43:21Speaker 2: what I mean?
- 43:21Speaker 1: Do you?
- 43:22Speaker 3: I guess so it's my energy. I guess yeah, on
- 43:25Speaker 3: her on that Whitney podcast. Yeah, I spin it at
- 43:27Speaker 3: some point. It's always smile.
- 43:29Speaker 6: Really.
- 43:29Speaker 2: No.
- 43:29Speaker 1: When I first met my old whenever we would take
- 43:32Speaker 1: a picture of you like this.
- 43:33Speaker 3: Yeah we're talking about photos. Yeah, not that I didn't
- 43:36Speaker 3: laugh my ass off.
- 43:38Speaker 2: Oh what happened on every goddamn show? Oh yeah they're fake.
- 43:44Speaker 2: Oh yeah, pull them up. No they don't come out,
- 43:47Speaker 2: but yeah.
- 43:48Speaker 6: I had like somebody knocks them out or like a
- 43:50Speaker 6: little chicklets back.
- 43:50Speaker 2: And I dated a girl in high school that had
- 43:52Speaker 2: teeth faste.
- 43:53Speaker 1: She like really yeah, she's like a retainer.
- 43:56Speaker 2: It was like holding fourteenth.
- 43:57Speaker 6: In really inappropriate to say, let's hear that in a second,
- 44:00Speaker 6: but this.
- 44:00Speaker 1: Is let's quickly look at this middle one fourth one
- 44:02Speaker 1: in from then on the on the first row, look
- 44:05Speaker 1: at that.
- 44:05Speaker 2: Oh look at those things. It totally changed him. It
- 44:11Speaker 2: changed him as a person.
- 44:13Speaker 6: It changed you always dying to do it?
- 44:15Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, once I kind of got in the league
- 44:17Speaker 3: and it was good for you.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Yeah, it was always something I kind of wanted to do.
- 44:22Speaker 3: And then when I came to Tennessee and I was
- 44:23Speaker 3: in like a new a new place, on a new team,
- 44:26Speaker 3: you know, a new team knew me. Yeah, and then
- 44:28Speaker 3: I ended up getting them, and everybody would try and
- 44:30Speaker 3: like do the whole like, hey, it's your stitch man,
- 44:32Speaker 3: like it's part of your personality. You can't change that,
- 44:33Speaker 3: and nobody cares and z. But now it's a little different.
- 44:38Speaker 3: Now you look back at it.
- 44:39Speaker 2: And you're like, oh, fuck, his mouth was fucked up.
- 44:43Speaker 6: But at the time they were like, that's your character.
- 44:45Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
- 44:48Speaker 3: A couple of people would be like, oh, you don't
- 44:50Speaker 3: even look that much different. But now that we get
- 44:52Speaker 3: kind of removed or somebody who doesn't even know I had.
- 44:54Speaker 2: Fakedy or have faketies, so they're like, oh, ship, yeah,
- 44:57Speaker 2: they're outstanding.
- 44:57Speaker 6: They are.
- 44:58Speaker 1: Thank you guys, because you think when people do venears,
- 45:00Speaker 1: it's it's easy to fuck up because you could go
- 45:02Speaker 1: too white or too big of a tooth in different
- 45:05Speaker 1: shapes sizes.
- 45:06Speaker 2: You did a good job.
- 45:07Speaker 6: Now like bling on them, like detail on it.
- 45:11Speaker 1: I would get a grill if I were you, I
- 45:13Speaker 1: would absolutely get a grill.
- 45:14Speaker 2: No for what? What? Grill for what to have?
- 45:20Speaker 1: No, you get a grill, you pop it on over
- 45:21Speaker 1: the teeth just so you can have a little something
- 45:23Speaker 1: in there.
- 45:23Speaker 6: But what's the girl going to be? Just gold? Gold
- 45:26Speaker 6: could be diamonds, could be black.
- 45:29Speaker 2: Yeah, do it for a job. Would get like a
- 45:32Speaker 2: grill to be like, oh, I want to fucking grill.
- 45:34Speaker 1: I've always wanted to have a grill to play in
- 45:36Speaker 1: a football game because I think a white dual with a.
- 45:38Speaker 2: Grill will be hilarious.
- 45:39Speaker 6: You should do that.
- 45:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm might. I think I'm my.
- 45:42Speaker 1: I need I need Barcela film me about five ten
- 45:44Speaker 1: to ten kids, help you out.
- 45:45Speaker 6: I can appreciate that.
- 45:46Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
- 45:47Speaker 6: Sponsored would be like a Chevy keeper on.
- 45:49Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, get a keeper on my grill.
- 45:50Speaker 3: Value ship Okay, sorry value shut it up like we're
- 45:52Speaker 3: on token CEO or not. You're your own busting with
- 45:55Speaker 3: the boys, your show.
- 45:57Speaker 1: Yeah, okay on the fastest growing podcasting barceal history. Maybe
- 46:01Speaker 1: class as we're going it's incredible.
- 46:03Speaker 5: But Core values, core value, so we needed so we
- 46:05Speaker 5: this year we have three hundred people who work at
- 46:07Speaker 5: Barschool Sports, which means basically what's happening is there's people
- 46:11Speaker 5: who work for people who work for people who are hot,
- 46:13Speaker 5: Like we're bringing on so many people that even I
- 46:18Speaker 5: used to have every person who worked for Barstool.
- 46:19Speaker 6: On my phone. I would have their cell phone in
- 46:22Speaker 6: my phone and I would know who they were.
- 46:24Speaker 5: And because in the early days, it was we were
- 46:28Speaker 5: always in trouble and there's always something going wrong, so
- 46:30Speaker 5: you needed to reach someone at any time, anywhere. But
- 46:33Speaker 5: when we got so big, you just kind of get
- 46:35Speaker 5: disconnected from like who are we hiring and what are
- 46:38Speaker 5: they doing? And you know how they get here and
- 46:40Speaker 5: what do they know of Barstool Sports, you know what
- 46:42Speaker 5: I mean? And the thing that I get worried about
- 46:45Speaker 5: is when we start to look like other companies, Like
- 46:47Speaker 5: the bigger we get, the more we have to work
- 46:51Speaker 5: to stay. Like the pirate ship, when you add a
- 46:54Speaker 5: lot of people, you just become like bigger. You've just
- 46:57Speaker 5: become a bigger company, you know what I mean, more corporate.
- 46:59Speaker 5: And I don't really want to be corporate. I do
- 47:02Speaker 5: think we should be really effective. So we we have
- 47:05Speaker 5: eight values, right, and we rolled the values out because
- 47:07Speaker 5: basically we're hiring a lot of people. We should be
- 47:10Speaker 5: firing a lot of people, and we should be hiring
- 47:13Speaker 5: and firing people based on those values, right like common sense?
- 47:16Speaker 2: Boys.
- 47:19Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm just thinking that's we were literally
- 47:21Speaker 3: just talking about doing thats trying.
- 47:23Speaker 6: To hire people.
- 47:26Speaker 3: No, nobody, We were just doing like an exercise last
- 47:28Speaker 3: week where were a.
- 47:29Speaker 1: Couple of people who have been in the back there
- 47:30Speaker 1: hanging out my thread were there's a couple of out there.
- 47:35Speaker 3: Learned like putting together core values and then it kind
- 47:37Speaker 3: of dictates the longevity of them, like being there.
- 47:40Speaker 2: I got it from the book Traction.
- 47:41Speaker 5: Okay, I don't read that book. You strike me as
- 47:45Speaker 5: someone to read.
- 47:46Speaker 3: I wouldn't say I read a lot. I dabble in
- 47:47Speaker 3: a lot of business books. Well, I get the stuff
- 47:50Speaker 3: and then I think I have an idea. I start
- 47:52Speaker 3: running with the idea, I forget to continue to read
- 47:54Speaker 3: the book, and then I got to come back around
- 47:55Speaker 3: to it.
- 47:55Speaker 6: Okay, so I know, so we have values?
- 47:57Speaker 2: Yeah, what are the core eight values? Put? It makes sense?
- 48:02Speaker 6: That's easy. That's like the Dave Port and my value.
- 48:04Speaker 1: Right, Well, he doesn't didn't He's got more common sense.
- 48:07Speaker 5: Now, big common sense guy sometimes doesn't use common sense, right, Okay, I.
- 48:14Speaker 2: Would agree sometimes doesn't use common sense. Right.
- 48:18Speaker 6: That's that's Dave.
- 48:20Speaker 5: That's one to be the solution, not part of the problem.
- 48:24Speaker 5: So as we get bigger, it's easy just to sit
- 48:26Speaker 5: around and like rubber necks on, like everything everybody else
- 48:29Speaker 5: is doing wrong, but like what are you doing to
- 48:31Speaker 5: fix it? I get very irritated with that. So that's
- 48:34Speaker 5: a value. Another value is put the stoolies first, like
- 48:38Speaker 5: put your put your fan first, whether your fan or
- 48:42Speaker 5: your customer is a salesperson or a brand or stooley
- 48:46Speaker 5: or whatever it may be. Like the difference with us
- 48:49Speaker 5: is that we're just so close to the audience that
- 48:52Speaker 5: if you're on television, the people at NBC don't really
- 48:56Speaker 5: ever think about who's watching this episode of this show.
- 48:59Speaker 5: It's a number in a Nielsen rating book, right, Like
- 49:03Speaker 5: you guys are thinking about it because people are chirping
- 49:05Speaker 5: you based on whether your guests sucked or they agreed
- 49:08Speaker 5: with what you said, or they disagree or they think
- 49:11Speaker 5: they should be in a different tier or whatever. So
- 49:13Speaker 5: keeping your fan first is really important. Like Big Cat's
- 49:16Speaker 5: very good about this, Like Big Cat has one of
- 49:19Speaker 5: the single highest engagements at barstool because he talks to
- 49:23Speaker 5: people all the time.
- 49:24Speaker 6: He's just always responding. He's always talking to them.
- 49:27Speaker 5: He tweets, I want to say in a week on
- 49:30Speaker 5: average like something like two hundred plus time. Oh shit,
- 49:34Speaker 5: So there's these products. He's a great follow, he's a
- 49:38Speaker 5: great follow, he's great at Twitter. But he also is
- 49:41Speaker 5: highly engaging because he puts it. He's always thinking when
- 49:44Speaker 5: they do when they do part. In my take, it's
- 49:46Speaker 5: the awl like, how do they think about the listener?
- 49:49Speaker 5: How do they think about the listener? So that's value?
- 49:52Speaker 6: What other values?
- 49:54Speaker 3: We interrupt this episode the shout out the boys that
- 49:56Speaker 3: Better Help Online Therapy look. Relationships take work. A lot
- 50:01Speaker 3: of us will drop anything to go help someone we
- 50:03Speaker 3: care about. We'll go out of our way to treat
- 50:05Speaker 3: other people well, but how often do we give ourselves
- 50:07Speaker 3: the same treatment. This month, Better Help Online Therapy wants
- 50:11Speaker 3: to remind you to take care of the most important relationship,
- 50:13Speaker 3: the one you have with yourself. Whether it's hitting the gym,
- 50:16Speaker 3: making time for your haircut, or even trying therapy. You
- 50:19Speaker 3: are your greatest assets, so invest the time and effort
- 50:22Speaker 3: into yourself like you do for other people. I talk
- 50:25Speaker 3: about it all the time. My wife and I we
- 50:27Speaker 3: do couples therapy. We absolutely love it. We did it
- 50:29Speaker 3: before marriage, We're continuing to do it, and I can't
- 50:32Speaker 3: tell you how much better I feel sometimes when I'm
- 50:34Speaker 3: in there and the boy will cry and for sometimes
- 50:36Speaker 3: I have no clue why, and sometimes you just need
- 50:39Speaker 3: that awareness that kind of zooms you out a little bit.
- 50:42Speaker 3: You leave the room, you leave the four walls. The
- 50:43Speaker 3: great thing with the Better Help is they also offer
- 50:46Speaker 3: video phone even live chat sessions with your therapists, so
- 50:50Speaker 3: you don't even have to see anyone on camera if
- 50:52Speaker 3: you don't want to. It's much more affordable than in
- 50:54Speaker 3: person therapy, and you can be matched with a therapist
- 50:57Speaker 3: in under forty eight hours. Give it a try and
- 50:59Speaker 3: see why. Will or two million people have used better
- 51:01Speaker 3: Help online therapy. And this podcast is sponsored by Better
- 51:04Speaker 3: Help and our listeners are getting ten percent off their
- 51:07Speaker 3: first month at betterhelp dot com.
- 51:09Speaker 2: Slash bussing.
- 51:10Speaker 3: That's b E T T E r h e LP
- 51:13Speaker 3: dot com slash busting.
- 51:16Speaker 5: Be authentic, so don't be kind of like the vrabel thing, like,
- 51:19Speaker 5: don't be something you're not don't speak to something you
- 51:22Speaker 5: don't know. That's an important one. Next one is just
- 51:26Speaker 5: diversity of thought. Like people think that barstool's so not diverse,
- 51:30Speaker 5: but if you walk around New York our office in
- 51:32Speaker 5: New York, like we got a lot of weird people.
- 51:34Speaker 5: We got people who come from all different places. So
- 51:37Speaker 5: being open to other people's ideas. As we've grown, we've
- 51:42Speaker 5: we tend to have people who just want to hold
- 51:44Speaker 5: things tight and theyre like we do this because we
- 51:47Speaker 5: do it this way, and it's like, well, why the
- 51:48Speaker 5: fuck do you do it that way?
- 51:49Speaker 6: Is that the best way to do it?
- 51:51Speaker 5: People at work, I think don't like to be challenged,
- 51:55Speaker 5: Like you're challenged all the time on the.
- 51:57Speaker 6: Field, like why did you do that play? That was dumb?
- 52:00Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
- 52:00Speaker 5: Like we talked about this when you joined, Like you
- 52:03Speaker 5: guys get a lot of very critical feedback.
- 52:05Speaker 1: And it's literally like, right will you come off the field?
- 52:09Speaker 1: If you have three and out and then you come
- 52:11Speaker 1: off the field. The coaches only be like have that plays,
- 52:14Speaker 1: like why what are you doing here? Like this is
- 52:15Speaker 1: not your guy, You're not supposed to be doing this technique.
- 52:18Speaker 1: It's very quick and it's weird for us time and
- 52:21Speaker 1: at halftime for the game, and after the game, and
- 52:23Speaker 1: right like in the morning, like you hit and then
- 52:26Speaker 1: the game and then god forbid you watch it by
- 52:29Speaker 1: yourself and you had a bad game. You're just watching
- 52:31Speaker 1: that thing on repeat, goingsaying right, the tears fucking just sad.
- 52:37Speaker 2: Second for the next day, you're like, fuck, are you watching? No.
- 52:42Speaker 1: We used to be when we first started, we would
- 52:43Speaker 1: call each other the way home from from podcast, Hey,
- 52:45Speaker 1: do you think that was good? Like we have done
- 52:47Speaker 1: different blah blah blah, And we're finding more of a
- 52:50Speaker 1: groove now of just like really enjoying it and not
- 52:53Speaker 1: cutting as much stuff. Okay, we've had a couple of
- 52:56Speaker 1: pods that we had to cut what thirty forty five
- 52:58Speaker 1: minutes ago. A couple of people bad, a couple guys
- 53:02Speaker 1: get a little tips, a couple of guys feel, you know.
- 53:05Speaker 1: And then also we like to be like friendly to
- 53:11Speaker 1: the person that's on the podcast. So if we had
- 53:13Speaker 1: like a we had a Roman yoce on who's the
- 53:14Speaker 1: captain of the Predators, and we were telling like first
- 53:17Speaker 1: time we jerked off stories and he told his story
- 53:19Speaker 1: and then he left and called me and it was like,
- 53:21Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't have done.
- 53:22Speaker 2: That, so we just cut it.
- 53:23Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was hilarious, and so I think through
- 53:27Speaker 1: that it's become it's just become more fun. Like we
- 53:30Speaker 1: sit on here for forty five minutes to an hour
- 53:32Speaker 1: and it's an absolute blast.
- 53:33Speaker 6: Oh, it's it's all what it should be.
- 53:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 53:35Speaker 3: I think a lot of the stuff we do is
- 53:38Speaker 3: comes from outside of like maybe the actual like stuff
- 53:41Speaker 3: we're saying in the episode, like we're always talking, like
- 53:43Speaker 3: we're all always kind of like game planning, the way
- 53:45Speaker 3: we might word content, the way we might do stuff
- 53:47Speaker 3: on YouTube.
- 53:48Speaker 1: The way we post being changing up Twitter. So I
- 53:52Speaker 1: mean a little bit.
- 53:53Speaker 3: But as far as like us being on the bus,
- 53:55Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think we listened to a whole
- 53:57Speaker 3: lot of stuff.
- 53:58Speaker 2: I listened to a lot.
- 53:59Speaker 3: Of the clips, and then you'll try and find like
- 54:02Speaker 3: you know, like watching Big Cat from before him the
- 54:04Speaker 3: way he talks to his audience. You start to figure
- 54:07Speaker 3: out like these blueprints that are out there and it's like,
- 54:10Speaker 3: how can I kind of take my unique way of.
- 54:12Speaker 2: Doing that to it.
- 54:14Speaker 5: Yeah, So look like I think that's I think most
- 54:18Speaker 5: people don't like feedback.
- 54:21Speaker 6: You can't hear me.
- 54:21Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. When you turn your head, I
- 54:23Speaker 2: get a little like, oh, maybe I need to get that.
- 54:24Speaker 6: Look closer you are.
- 54:27Speaker 1: And that's a weird thing like the real world that
- 54:30Speaker 1: I think is like difficult. Real world people don't understand,
- 54:32Speaker 1: like yeah, like if you're criticized, people are like, oh,
- 54:35Speaker 1: something's wrong with me.
- 54:36Speaker 2: I'm this, I'm that.
- 54:36Speaker 1: It's like no, dude, Like you just got to figure
- 54:39Speaker 1: the shit out, Like you just stop. Yeah, if you
- 54:41Speaker 1: just stop taking ship personally all the time, you're probably
- 54:43Speaker 1: going to be a thousand times better off as a
- 54:45Speaker 1: person in general. And so that's kind of even when
- 54:49Speaker 1: we started this working with people and not these guys
- 54:51Speaker 1: have gotten way better, but the people we originally worked
- 54:54Speaker 1: with and stuff like that, and kind of as we
- 54:55Speaker 1: got to this core group, it's like you kind of
- 54:57Speaker 1: say something that's like, hey, you got to be better
- 54:59Speaker 1: and and they get all but hurt and they're upset
- 55:01Speaker 1: and like the next day like, hey, you kind of.
- 55:02Speaker 2: Hurt my feelings, like much trying to hurt your feelings.
- 55:04Speaker 1: Like we just got to say like, hey, don't do this,
- 55:06Speaker 1: do that whatever it is.
- 55:08Speaker 2: And so I mean, will that you're like that.
- 55:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a probably with you too, Like
- 55:13Speaker 3: you get in a lot of new people into the building,
- 55:16Speaker 3: like there is a time like I know for me,
- 55:18Speaker 3: if somebody might take something the wrong way, Like I know,
- 55:21Speaker 3: for me, maybe I got to figure out how I
- 55:24Speaker 3: can communicate better with them, you know what I mean,
- 55:26Speaker 3: versus like, Okay, I'm trying to tell you X, Y
- 55:29Speaker 3: and Z, and if I'm feeling frustrated telling you it
- 55:31Speaker 3: and you're for some reason missing it or not getting it,
- 55:34Speaker 3: then I could probably do a better job of explaining
- 55:37Speaker 3: it the way coaches are with us. Yeah, I'm sure
- 55:39Speaker 3: the way you are with people coming in creating more
- 55:41Speaker 3: of a culture and people kind of getting like a miscommunication, right,
- 55:45Speaker 3: It goes down through different people and by the end
- 55:47Speaker 3: of it, they're like, well, why wasn't I in the
- 55:48Speaker 3: loop on this? It's just like, you know, we're not
- 55:51Speaker 3: figuring out how to communicate.
- 55:53Speaker 6: A little bit better too and be efficient.
- 55:55Speaker 1: Efficiency's got to be tough with three hundred employees though,
- 55:58Speaker 1: And how do you know things my.
- 56:00Speaker 6: New favorite game.
- 56:01Speaker 5: So I go into a meeting right now, and I
- 56:03Speaker 5: go into the Google meeting, and I see how many
- 56:06Speaker 5: people are in the meeting, and then I divide the
- 56:08Speaker 5: amount of money we make from that brand by the
- 56:11Speaker 5: number of people by department.
- 56:13Speaker 6: So I'll give you an example. So we had a
- 56:14Speaker 6: meeting the other day.
- 56:16Speaker 5: We had twenty nine people on it, twenty nine people
- 56:19Speaker 5: from our fucking company on this meeting. We do twelve
- 56:22Speaker 5: thousand dollars in merch revenue from this particular person and
- 56:27Speaker 5: we had like five four people technically on the invite
- 56:30Speaker 5: there were five, so I divided it by five.
- 56:32Speaker 6: But it's like, what are we doing?
- 56:34Speaker 5: Like that's stupid, Like everyone should run their business like
- 56:38Speaker 5: they're a CEO, whether you're running the bus or you're
- 56:41Speaker 5: running a brand at barstool, or you're growing advertising or
- 56:46Speaker 5: commerce or like everybody should like we I don't like inertia.
- 56:52Speaker 6: And I think sometimes when.
- 56:53Speaker 5: You get to three hundred people or you look at
- 56:56Speaker 5: you know, ESPN or NBC are ten to you know,
- 56:59Speaker 5: fIF teen times that size, it's just a lot of
- 57:02Speaker 5: people who just float things around all day, and it's
- 57:05Speaker 5: like that's annoying, Like why that's you don't want to
- 57:07Speaker 5: do that.
- 57:08Speaker 6: I don't want to do that.
- 57:09Speaker 2: From the fat Fat got it from the fat.
- 57:11Speaker 6: Why do we have four people. Why why?
- 57:14Speaker 5: What is either so broken in this group that we
- 57:17Speaker 5: needed four people to hear the same thing, Like that's crazy, So.
- 57:21Speaker 2: I guess that checks for all those people.
- 57:23Speaker 5: Exactly, it's like fifth grade girls soccer, right, know what
- 57:26Speaker 5: I mean? Or it's just like everybody's clumped on the
- 57:28Speaker 5: ball and nobody's passing or receiving.
- 57:30Speaker 6: Or know where the goal is.
- 57:32Speaker 3: Right, because you've recently said you need to start killing
- 57:34Speaker 3: shit at barstool, definitely that's the type of stuff that
- 57:36Speaker 3: you're talking about.
- 57:37Speaker 5: That and then we need, like we have a bunch
- 57:39Speaker 5: of brands where if you're not if you're a talent
- 57:43Speaker 5: at Barstool Sports and you're not willing to like hoofit
- 57:46Speaker 5: on your brand, then why are we I'll.
- 57:49Speaker 6: Give you an example.
- 57:49Speaker 5: Everybody bitches about homepage promotion right all day long, just
- 57:53Speaker 5: complains about homepage promotion.
- 57:55Speaker 6: Or I had a guy, I had a talent.
- 57:58Speaker 5: I had a talent last week who personality who was like,
- 58:02Speaker 5: I need a raise, I need a bigger contract, I
- 58:04Speaker 5: need a raise. I'm doing so much. I was like,
- 58:07Speaker 5: all right, let me go look at your Instagram. The
- 58:09Speaker 5: last time you promoted merch on your Instagram was in
- 58:14Speaker 5: twenty twenty, it's like March of twenty twenty two. So
- 58:18Speaker 5: like no, like we're not doing a raise. So it's
- 58:21Speaker 5: like you got to put your money where your mouth is.
- 58:23Speaker 5: And then it's also if people if the best part
- 58:28Speaker 5: of barstool sports is the freedom, like you can do
- 58:30Speaker 5: whatever you want, Like Dave will never block that, I
- 58:33Speaker 5: will never block that. We want to enable really smart, funny,
- 58:38Speaker 5: creative people to do literally whatever they want. If you
- 58:42Speaker 5: don't take advantage of that, then like we're not gonna
- 58:44Speaker 5: babysit you. And that's the difference, like we're not gonna
- 58:48Speaker 5: What we started doing wrong, quite honestly, is we started
- 58:52Speaker 5: to like give everybody a crutch, and we started to
- 58:54Speaker 5: give everybody a handout and give everybody like a little
- 58:58Speaker 5: bit of a leg up, which just condition from them
- 59:00Speaker 5: to ask for more versus learning how to do it
- 59:03Speaker 5: for themselves.
- 59:03Speaker 2: And what ways are you giving crushes.
- 59:05Speaker 5: Like, oh, hey, let us get you a camera guye
- 59:07Speaker 5: let us get you another producer. Let's let us give
- 59:10Speaker 5: you someone to do the social for you.
- 59:12Speaker 6: Give them all the tools, all the.
- 59:13Speaker 5: Tools, but then they never had the thing. Yeah, And
- 59:16Speaker 5: it's like if you don't have the thing, then why
- 59:18Speaker 5: should you have all the tools right?
- 59:20Speaker 1: Right?
- 59:20Speaker 2: Well, how do you teach them?
- 59:22Speaker 6: Right?
- 59:22Speaker 2: How do you go about teaching them now?
- 59:24Speaker 5: Well, now it's like, go do it yourself, and if
- 59:27Speaker 5: it growsed, I mean, you guys are the perfect example
- 59:30Speaker 5: of this. You had this before we even came along, right,
- 59:33Speaker 5: You knew what you wanted. You had a vision, you
- 59:35Speaker 5: knew the dynamic, you knew the vibe you wanted to create,
- 59:38Speaker 5: you knew the things you wanted to talk about, you
- 59:40Speaker 5: knew the environment you were going to build, and then
- 59:43Speaker 5: you came to us and we're like, hey, help help
- 59:44Speaker 5: us blow it up?
- 59:45Speaker 6: Like we need a partner.
- 59:47Speaker 5: People need to do the same thing now, Like if
- 59:49Speaker 5: you need like if you look at all that matters
- 59:51Speaker 5: right now is one minute videos on the internet, period,
- 59:54Speaker 5: full stop. Long form doesn't really matter. Short form, social
- 59:58Speaker 5: video is the name the game? Original video? What is
- 1:00:03Speaker 5: the what do the algorithms want? The algorithms want the
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: phone as close to your face as possible.
- 1:00:08Speaker 6: You do not need a producer for that, or a.
- 1:00:10Speaker 5: Cameraman or an editor, or a graphics guy or a
- 1:00:14Speaker 5: social person like basically the back of the bus.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Yeah, get the boys were set right now, there's a
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: lot of boys here.
- 1:00:21Speaker 6: You have a big team.
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think with that too, Like obviously
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: having a show, I think like plays into it. There
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: could be different examples, right right. You could be like
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: if I'm an employee at barstool and I'm a talent
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: at barstool, very much like the Little sass is the
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: Caleb Presley's, like the guys who can sit there and
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: hold their camera and use their phone and just use
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: their phone. Yeah, obviously you got these guys because.
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: We gotta get an operation going on in a show.
- 1:00:50Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a very produced show. You're building the bust
- 1:00:53Speaker 5: in world. You need to produce that. You also need
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: to compliment it with short form one minute videos of
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: your faces, right, you.
- 1:01:00Speaker 6: Know what I mean?
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: We could probably do a better job one hundred percent,
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: especially me. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah.
- 1:01:06Speaker 6: I've definitely you It's nuanced, you know, it's definitely it's.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: A it's a balancing game for me, But I think
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: I've taken it. I've done obviously way more of this
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: offseason than I probably ever have.
- 1:01:17Speaker 5: I think you're more relaxed than I've ever seen you
- 1:01:20Speaker 5: right now in general and now Yeah.
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, I probably agree with that. Hey kick
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: me again, I'll beat you at this place? Has that relaxed? No,
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: I triggering exactly. That was an example of how I
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: get tired fat, how do we hold it to do well?
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: And we were just talking and coming back from the
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: Magni Show, like, man, they just have fun, they get
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: their jokes and they start doing feed into it.
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: I mean it gets mad when we're just trying to
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: do the snaps. No, I definitely am uh, this is
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: the most calm I felt.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: Probably. Oh, last three year has been tough.
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: It's been it's been tough for like with a PD
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: than an ACL coming back from an a CL It's
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: just been not fun. And so this is a place
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: where I think it's just it's just fun to do well.
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: It's a yeah, it's and it's it's easy.
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: In a way like the it's harder work, but it's
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: easy because it's fun. Like I'm enjoying doing this and
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: I'm realizing now more than ever that this is like
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: a fun if life was a game, this is the
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: game I want to play, you know.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: So I'm yeah, I've definitely been enjoying this.
- 1:02:22Speaker 6: Helpful to you guys on that, what do you Whitney
- 1:02:25Speaker 6: like in life after.
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: He was like the way he came in, did the
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: pod and had to boogie. But when we were talking,
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: that is something I think every athlete thinks about. It's like,
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: what's gonna happen after I'm done? And when you first
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: get in the NFL or whatever sport you are. I'm
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: an example of this is like I'm I'm gonna play
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: till I die. I'm gonna die on the football field,
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: and it's like you get t your eight and you're like, fuck,
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: like my knees are shot. More than half of it's
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: over now, you know what I'm saying, Like how much
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: more you got in you? What are you gonna do?
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: And I'm super lucky that will came to me with this.
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: Three years ago.
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: It was like let's do a podcasting or whatever, and
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: now it's like became way bigger than I think we
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: ever expected, and so it's it's been a cool deal.
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: I think most I think a lot of guys jump
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: into real estate for whatever reason.
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: Guys are jumping in real estate. There's a lot of
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: people like if I have a conversation with something, who
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: were we talking to? I forget who we were talking to,
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: but they were saying, like players will reach out to
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: them all the time for media gigs or media help
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: and trying to get into the media world, talking you
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: wait until you wait until the game's over to try
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: and get into stuff. Yeah, it's very like diluted after that,
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: like you become a former player and ex player. It
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: seems to me, for like lack of a better term
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: or easiest way to describe it, you seem a little
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: more desperate trying to get into something versus striking while
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: the iron's hot, like while you're in it.
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: Yeah, like Ryan does help about with that.
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: That Ryan Whitney, Pat McAfee, all these guys that we've
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: had on who are successful now outside and off the
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: football field, because that's those are guys that I've like
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: looked to for examples and like how do they do it?
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: And everything else because three years ago I thought at
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: that point, I thought that next year would probably be
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: my last year based on the year before. Fortunately I've
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: been able to do a few more. But last year,
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: I know, what's crazy. Yeah, what's crazy is, uh, yesterday
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: I'll tell who it was after the pot, But yesterday
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: I get a message basically say hey, we possibly have
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: a spot if you want to be our fourth linebacker,
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: call the defense and play special teams. M M yeah,
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: talking about you know when you know, I'm responding like
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: if this is real, like keep me in the loop,
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: but what I have to show up for training camp?
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: I know who it was.
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: Yeah, well we'll talk about it after without saying it,
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: but uh, but yeah, every year does feel like and it's.
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: Just I don't know, I feel like I'm.
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: A lot more comfortable in my chair now versus you
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: have some insecurities on who you're gonna be after not
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: being a football player, Like there's that party that wants
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: to play football badly or to be seen such a
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: certain way on the football field, and like it's just
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: you know, you you gain awareness and perspective on this
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: situation to where it's like you just find your groove
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: and everything else and you become more relaxed and like
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: who you are.
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: I feel like, but.
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: Yeah, every year a few years ago to be like
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: I'm retired after this year. We're staring after this year.

- 1:05:52Speaker 1: him the other day what a podcast for Will? He's
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: just getting lots of compliments. This is a way digger than.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: The Ryan Whitney podcast. It's just like the opposite.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: It was like you and I'm such a cheap too,
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: my joining and yeah you are great.
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: You started he started it when you started talking. Yeah,
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: you're a piece of shit. Will. I want to say
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: you started it? What do you mean you say? Hey?
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: You got to get your word count up. Well, yeah, dude,
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: you were like a tweet.
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: At that point, We're thirty minutes inacters already talked about this.
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: Sometimes you got to be a better listener.
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: Okay, I gotta be No, I'm saying you as in
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: like I got so said, yeah, one must be a
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: better listener.
- 1:06:27Speaker 6: That's smart as a technique.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: This right here, the yes, the outline or the numbers,
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: well the numbers, who cares? WHOA don't say that? Now
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: this is my go back. Yeah, it's my favorite part
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: of the podcast. Oh really, it's me knowing where I'm at. Yeah,
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: it was so how much more time do we have?
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: Well that doesn't matter.
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: That's when we started. Actually it's already served its purpose.
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: But but this is for some reason, I have a
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: weird deal with it. I have to like, no, you
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: have to know where we are. Where we are, okay,
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: I like, yeah, I gotta know saying you like the outline.
- 1:06:55Speaker 6: I just think it's a smart way to do it.
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: We started getting that's a great example right there, you
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: get all the beam path.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: Or like, oh, this is important.
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: She asked questions to Taylor, and then we started getting
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: a little deviate off the path.
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: We did do a path in the beginning that I'm
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: trying to figure out way to get back to which
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: I'll figure out that way in a second.
- 1:07:11Speaker 6: Let's go.
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: Outstanding people. We're gonna say navigate the conversation.
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: What I was saying with Paul is I just send
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: him like six different videos before I could put that
- 1:07:19Speaker 3: one on the internet, because he's like, you know, you
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: don't say you know, you might want to not want
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: to say this or.
- 1:07:25Speaker 5: Budweiser, I would Why are you giving a legal person
- 1:07:27Speaker 5: that much control of your life?
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: I don't. It's just personally, I would love to work
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: with Budweiser.
- 1:07:32Speaker 6: So you don't want to sit there, Why Budweiser? Why
- 1:07:35Speaker 6: Budweiser is.
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: Never going to work with you because we already do
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: it for him all day long.
- 1:07:40Speaker 5: But probably their biggest ad spend that they spend zero dollars.
- 1:07:44Speaker 7: So then why do we got to get to C
- 1:07:45Speaker 7: and D exactly bud Wise, we have a we have
- 1:07:49Speaker 7: a complicated relationship with Budweiser. Why is that because so
- 1:07:54Speaker 7: one loved them, love the Aannheuser Busch company. But and
- 1:07:57Speaker 7: they used to be a big, big partner for Barstool,
- 1:08:00Speaker 7: like one of the earliest advertisers awesome, would work with
- 1:08:03Speaker 7: them in a heartbeat, but I think they started to
- 1:08:06Speaker 7: see us as competitive right when we launched Pink Whitney
- 1:08:09Speaker 7: and we started to we started we had talked to
- 1:08:13Speaker 7: them about doing something together, launching something together, and then
- 1:08:16Speaker 7: I think they were like, are you a friend or
- 1:08:18Speaker 7: are you a foe?
- 1:08:19Speaker 6: Because ultimately, like you should have a beer partner.
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: You have a bug on the bus, I know, especially
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: the first time, it really is like an investigation. This
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: has happened, but don't don't let the bug track. So
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: they thought you were friend or foe. They didn't know
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: what to do with you.
- 1:08:33Speaker 6: Don't know what to do with you.
- 1:08:34Speaker 5: So and then they get a lot They were getting
- 1:08:37Speaker 5: a lot of free advertising, right, Like Dana Beers was like,
- 1:08:41Speaker 5: you know, he's crushing right. Million one were feeling their
- 1:08:44Speaker 5: like Northeastern product budget because we're just buying so many beers.
- 1:08:47Speaker 6: But and also it's just a ton of free advertising.
- 1:08:49Speaker 5: And brands are smart like that when they get free ads,
- 1:08:52Speaker 5: they're not going to pay for them, you know.
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: Yeah, some some brands are just more advanced than others.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: Like Apple.
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: Yeah, Apple will send out their headphones to players and
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: be like don't even post about it. Just wear them,
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: just enjoy these and that's it.
- 1:09:04Speaker 6: And you probably love that even more.
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: I think, oh great, I'm getting headphones, and then you
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: realize you take a picture and the headphones in as
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: you're walking in the locker room, and that's all they wanted.
- 1:09:12Speaker 6: That's all they got you, just like that.
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: Madden. This is a great example.
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: Player ratings are Madden, and you get everyone all fucking
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: up in arms about Mad ratings.
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: It's just free advertising, no doubt.
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: So how do you navigate the waters with Budweiser given
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: this situation? You're at the bug. The bug is now
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: part of the bus that we have to accept that
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: as if that thing was buzzing in my face a
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: second ago.
- 1:09:32Speaker 6: Is this going to trigger you or no?
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: No, this is not a trigger point for me. The
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: authority is the thing that triggers me the most. I
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: have an issue with authority. Okay, yeah, but anyway, it's.
- 1:09:43Speaker 6: Not about an authority issue, not really.
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: No, no, no, I have awareness.
- 1:09:47Speaker 7: Okay, so that's outstanding.
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: That was a perfectly place all right.
- 1:09:55Speaker 6: So but let's get you a beer.
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: Partner, dude, I I do I think we need a
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: beer part real ass.
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: Go ahead, Taylor. This is why this is the talent
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: of Taylor on what story about drinking a beer. Let's
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: say Dostekis is trying.
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: To get us.
- 1:10:10Speaker 6: Let's go.
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: One time.
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: I was in Mexico with my buddy and We're at
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: this beach called Manni's that's right in Rocky Point, Mexico.
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: We're hanging out.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: We're having a bunch of dos Seki's having a great time.
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: I'm sixteen, seventeen years old, and these three girls I
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: went to ASU kind of come down. We're playing game.
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: We're playing the Limbo game. Are you interested? Am I interested? Are?
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: We're going to play this game for the rest of
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: the night. We start talking with them. So it's me,
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: my buddy brown Bear, and my buddy Nick, and we
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: start going down this row of bars and we end
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: up going to the beach and I start talking some
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: girl up. I'm like, hey, what's going on with the disc?
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: I have a boyfriend, so I knew right then. And
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: there I'm the boy laying on the grenade for the crew. Okay,
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: this is what I have to.
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: Do for the squad.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: And my other two buddies are already tonsils deep in
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: these other two broads are having a great time about it.
- 1:10:52Speaker 6: You're going to be the wing man.
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: Yes, so I'm the wingman.
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: And so we end up going to the beach because
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: romantically that's the thing you do when you're sixteen seventeen
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: years which is right outside the bar, and we're kind
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: of talking. My buddy, oh, we don't put his name
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: in there. My buddy blank goes onto the goes into
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: the ocean with this girl because apparently that's the move.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: And so they're getting thrashed to hook up in the ocean.
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: Given we're trying our best.
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: Right, and we're just playing.
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: We're playing the most recent porn we've seen in our life, right,
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: We're jumping back and forth. Well, I saw them do this,
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: so I'm gonna do that. But with water, it's so
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: much more romantic about thinking salt water and crevices. It's
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: not gonna be a good deal for either of us.
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: They go out there and do their thing, and I'm
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: sitting with this girl kind of just talking to her,
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: well my other bottle, but he's playing tonsil hockey, and
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna go grab myself
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: in the other dose. Sechis So I cruise over to
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: the bar and some lady comes up to me, grabs
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: you right between the legs, grabs me right to it,
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: snakes me right there, and I'm like, are you feeling good?
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: Oh? Oh? She was mid.
- 1:11:52Speaker 6: Thirties, okay, cougar, cougar. She was a.
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: Resident of Rocky Point, Mexico.
- 1:11:57Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: So she comes up to me, squanders my boys, and
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: I go, oh my god, there's immediate like you get
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: a little bit of a head rush, you loose some
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: blood there, add some blood there.
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: I'm excited.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: And she looks at me and says, sucky, sucky, and
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: she like smiles at me. She got about as much
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: teeth as a jaculator. All right, she's got one here
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: one theres all of the bus and you're thinking yourself,
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: I could fit in that crivis, but you think she's
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: a level even heads prevail. So I'm like, no, I'm good,
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: I can't do this. And I go and I get
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: my delicious dosequies because they're just It's what I needed
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: in that moment. And when you're sixteen seventeen and you're
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: able to drink, like, what else are you gonna grab?
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: You're gonna grab the doceecis. So I come back on
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: the beach and I look at my buddy brown brow.
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, dude, you gotta try this. Go walk
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: to the bar like you're gonna go go get another

- 1:12:44Speaker 1: I don't know, and uh, I'm like, just go, fucking dude.
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: So I ended up talking him into it, and me
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: and this girl like sitting there washing like this is
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: now a game to us.
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: The same thing happens like clockwork.
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: Walks up and she comes out of the alley way
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: like she comes out of the alleyway like surfaces like
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: a demon and grabs him just the same way. But
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: he's immediately I was a little more like, okay, what's
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: going on here? He was immediately like no, I'm good,
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: I'm all set. She reaches into his pocket, pulls out
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: all his money, and he goes from loving happy brown
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: Bear to hood brown bear. He's like, what the fuck
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: give me my fucking money, starts yelling at the girl.
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: There was like no, no, no, Money's in the ground.
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: Money's in the ground, and she darts back into her
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: little her alley way that goes out to the main street.
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: So he starts counting it realizes he's missing about eighty dollars.
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: Chases after this.
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: Broad and I finished up a hurry drinking my Dosecui says.
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not gonna leave this on the beaches.
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: That a joke, Cli like some crab can get it.
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: So I put it down and I drink it. I
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: chase after the guy and uh. I get to the
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: alleyway and it's like literally like a high school fight
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: scene is about to go down. Like these two are
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: sitting like kind of squaring off with each other, this
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: girl and my buddy, and he's like in her face
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: about the eighty dollars, and there's like a flood of
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: Mexican Yeah I have now, like yes exactly, I came
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: around to fight each other and they're all drinking dosequis obviously,
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: and I come up to my like, dude, you can't
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: do this. Like the police starts showing up, and in Mexico,
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: you're sixteen seventeen, you can't be if the police are around.
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: You got a buggy some dude named beat though he's
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: about five to two tall, about five four round.
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: The guy.
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: The guy had his own gravitational pull. He was so large.
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: He comes waddling up to us and he's like, uh,
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: He's like, hey, what are you guys doing here?
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: And he's like, this bitch stole my money? Brown Beard,
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: not me. I would never call him at a bitch.
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: That's crazy.
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: He says, this bitch stole my money. And he looks
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: at her and he goes bitch and he goes, yeah,
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: this girl stole my money. And he was buddy, that's
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: not a girl, that's a guy. And he pulls on
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: this jack, a leanard woman and she's got a bulge
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: bigger than mine with a sock put in it. It
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: was outstanding. It was as a sight to see.
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: So anyway we got out of there.
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: I'm starting to question myself a little bit because I got,
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: you know, at the beginning. But all of that started
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: with a great night of do scus. That's right, And
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: I think that's it's important.
- 1:14:55Speaker 5: Thanat love you that that story should definitely get your
- 1:15:00Speaker 5: beer sponsor right.
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: Make a little bit longer than an elevator patch, that's
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: all right, yeah for sure.
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: But it was a quality story one that I haven't heard.
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: So I enjoyed that. Yeah, I made it up from
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: the top, So I'm glad it all worked out. Did
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: you make it up? Now?
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: That was one hundred percent true, based on a true story,
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: based on a true story.
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: Some things are I think the way brands market themselves
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: through uh, through individuals now and through brands like barstool
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: bust with the boys, I think it's the way to
- 1:15:25Speaker 3: go versus creating your own thing or do you want
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: to own me? Especially if you're a beer company and
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: you want to own the athlete market? Definitely, why not
- 1:15:31Speaker 3: partner up with the boys who are.
- 1:15:33Speaker 6: On the young guy market?
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: You know, we're some young guys. Youngest.
- 1:15:37Speaker 6: What did you watch the Super Bowl?
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: Yeah? We watched Super Bowl?
- 1:15:40Speaker 6: Okay, do you watch the ads? Yeah, that's the most
- 1:15:42Speaker 6: important part of that obviously. Yep. I thought they sucked.
- 1:15:45Speaker 5: I was gonna say Every Years so cheesy and it's
- 1:15:49Speaker 5: so three frogs.
- 1:15:50Speaker 6: But why, I do love the Clydestale.
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: The clyd Stales are awesome. And I think they had
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: one too where a bunch of horses are playing football.
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: Yeah, cowboy, that was crazy Jack.
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: They used to have the banger, he says, the banger.
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: Commercials have bangers. Now, maybe you need to get the
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: frogs and the boys together.
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: God, imagine if we work with the frogs that great,
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: it would be incredible. We had to get those guys
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: out of retirement, bring them up, put them back on
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: their lily pads, and say what's up? Yeah, that would
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: be an outstanding gig.
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: You think it'd be awesome. Obviously we're talking about Budweiser
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: and everything that happened. But even with that, that video
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: that went like the local Guy Dale the local guy
- 1:16:30Speaker 3: text saying that a guy who can make decisions regionally
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: was embarrassed about it. And they're trying to get because again,
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: you might have somebody up at like h Q and
- 1:16:38Speaker 3: New York or something that sees something and makes a
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: decision based on what their dynamics are.
- 1:16:43Speaker 5: Defend their marks, right, Like that's their brand, that's their business.
- 1:16:46Speaker 5: If somebody ripped off the barstool logo, I'd go pepe shit,

- 1:17:58Speaker 2: This is it. You're welcome. You bring up the deal. Listen.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: I was gonna read over these ads today, but I
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: saw Alex pop this thing up. I absolutely love Georgia,
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: but it's unbelievable. They stuck with the boys since day one.
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: Not day one, but you know what I'm saying. When
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: they jumped on pretty early and they've been going all
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: day every day with the boys. If you haven't seen
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: our YouTube, our YouTube and audio, sorry I forgot, we're
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: just doing YouTube the spring ball tour, spring ball tour, yep,

- 1:18:29Speaker 1: And went to Nebraska and uh and Georgia boot jumped.
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: On board with that whole thing. So that's formal the
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: whole time.
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: Yeah, they and listen, you got so many compliments. And
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: I bet they were comfortable as hell too, or they
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: they lasted me the whole time. They're my only pursuers
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: that brought Georgia boots. You're lying, yes, God, let me.
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: Just say a couple of these things.
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: They want me to read this, but this is a
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: personal guarantee if you guys do at Georgia, but you're
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: gonna absolutely love it. Georgia butt is the world's most
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: comfortable boot. Da what they're.
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: Living And I guess he goes, he goes, you're lying,
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: I go, yes, but I was I'm not lying.
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not lying when you're flying off the cuff here.
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: We are just having a good time, right, We're having
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: a beautiful time. Yeah, and you know that, the whole
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: Georgia Boot thing. It's a beautiful time when you're wearing
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: those also, Yes, understand.
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: Super comfortable.
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: I get a little I get a little cranky when
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: my feet hurt when I have Georgia boots on.
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: I'm never cranky. It's a little cranky when you're Some
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: things are a little too expensive.
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I do get I get frugal, believe it or not,
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: let the people know it or not.
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: Comfortable and affordable.
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: Georgia Boot is I love to got a little bubble
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: in the throat, tough weekend in college. Georgia Boot is
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: the America's hardest working boot. For eighty years, Georgie has
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: been making boots that work as hard as you do.
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: Tough enough for your job, cool enough for everything else.
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: Georgia Boot makes super good looking and super comfortable boots,
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: so comfortable you never want to take them off. Every
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: time I wear these boots, people ask me where I
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: got them. Whether you're working on your feet all day,
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: working around the house, or just grilling out with some friends.
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: These boots won't sacrifice comfort or style. Georgia Boot offers
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: the best work boots, wedges, and loggers around. Whether you
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: need waterproof boots, steel toast, soft toast, square toe, med metguard,
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: non puncture shank, non slip soul, they've got it. And
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: let me tell you of all those things, I couldn't
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: tell you what one of those things mean, but if
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: they sent to me, I put them on.
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: I probably be a little.
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: Safer, especially with that non puncture shank like that sounds
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: like a bit of a deal. You probably want to
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: wear in prison, am I?
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: You know you keep them toe safe, you know what
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: I'm saying, homie, But hey, if you got to exist
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: to those in prison and go, go ahead and do it.
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: But head over to georgiaboot dot com and use code
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: busting for twenty percent off. These boots are already so affordable,
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: and you're taking twenty percent off that you're basically stealing
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: from the homies. So go and enjoy. We love you.
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: Back to the show. Yeah the out line, Yeah, fucking that,
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: fucking enough we again. We got the CEO of Barsool
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: Sports on It's.
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: Like, oh, one thing I do want to know, how
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: do you Obviously you've probably gotten over and you probably
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: don't give a fuck as much near anymore.
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: But the whole.
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: Stitch with the way people try and place you guys
- 1:20:57Speaker 3: in the box of like miss and white male driven base, Like,
- 1:21:03Speaker 3: how do you deal with that stuff? How do you
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: guys pivot in some areas?
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: And how do you end as a as the CEO
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: of Barstool Sports handle that?
- 1:21:11Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's.
- 1:21:14Speaker 5: The first thing I would say is that people aren't
- 1:21:19Speaker 5: There are people who hate Barstool Sports, who are always
- 1:21:21Speaker 5: going to hate Barstool Sports. And if I were to
- 1:21:23Speaker 5: spend when I first got to barstool, probably for like
- 1:21:27Speaker 5: the first two and a half years, what I what
- 1:21:30Speaker 5: was truly expected from me in the industry was just
- 1:21:32Speaker 5: to apologize for Dave. Just apology tour, right, like, go
- 1:21:36Speaker 5: get all dressed up and go stay sorry for everything
- 1:21:39Speaker 5: David had ever done or ever said.
- 1:21:42Speaker 6: And the reality and that only got worse.
- 1:21:45Speaker 3: Like you should have just did like a fucking tour
- 1:21:46Speaker 3: throughout the country the apology to the apology tour exactly.
- 1:21:51Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know what I realized one is to
- 1:21:56Speaker 5: start that to start down that path, it's a bottomless
- 1:21:59Speaker 5: class like, it's just truly a bottomless glass.
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: And that the because of Dave or because of these people,
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: the whistleblowers.
- 1:22:06Speaker 6: The whistle it's not even whistleblowers.
- 1:22:08Speaker 5: It's just like the PC culture is insatiable.
- 1:22:13Speaker 6: It's just insatiable.
- 1:22:15Speaker 5: And I think that people are human and flawed and
- 1:22:20Speaker 5: so interesting and strange, and that it's just a journey.
- 1:22:24Speaker 5: And if everyone were to look back on your sixteen
- 1:22:27Speaker 5: year old self or your twenty two year old self
- 1:22:30Speaker 5: and have to and you had the cameras on you
- 1:22:32Speaker 5: that entire time, like, you would never finish apologizing. So
- 1:22:35Speaker 5: I was like, I'm just not going to apologize. Dave
- 1:22:38Speaker 5: never apologized and I wasn't going to apologize, and.
- 1:22:42Speaker 6: People don't like that.
- 1:22:43Speaker 5: And then what added to it was that essentially we
- 1:22:46Speaker 5: started to eat people's lunch.
- 1:22:47Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:22:48Speaker 5: It was easy to ignore us or write us off
- 1:22:50Speaker 5: in the beginning because we were so small, and then
- 1:22:52Speaker 5: we became bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger, and
- 1:22:55Speaker 5: we started to take audience away from people, and we
- 1:22:57Speaker 5: started to take ad revenue away from people, and we
- 1:22:59Speaker 5: started to take time spent away from people and then
- 1:23:03Speaker 5: the other thing was when you when podcasting really started,
- 1:23:07Speaker 5: you know, the ESPNS and the NBCs and the CBS's
- 1:23:11Speaker 5: and the nfls and all the authorities were like, of
- 1:23:14Speaker 5: course we'll be the best at this, like we are media,
- 1:23:17Speaker 5: and it was like, no, with a podcast, you really
- 1:23:19Speaker 5: just need a microphone and maybe a camera and a
- 1:23:22Speaker 5: really good opinion and a funny person in our case.
- 1:23:26Speaker 5: And so pardon my take became number one, and then
- 1:23:28Speaker 5: you know, Chicklets became number one, and four Play rose
- 1:23:31Speaker 5: to the top, and the Dave Portnoy Show, and we
- 1:23:34Speaker 5: started to be a top five player and start to
- 1:23:39Speaker 5: take take airtime, take interest, take attention away from the establishment.
- 1:23:45Speaker 5: And the establishment doesn't like that obviously. So then it
- 1:23:48Speaker 5: only compounded the notion that we were you know, we
- 1:23:53Speaker 5: we were disruptive or we were renegade, and how we
- 1:23:56Speaker 5: were doing things, and that we were just not going
- 1:23:58Speaker 5: to be accept did so I remember, you know, the
- 1:24:02Speaker 5: tearing and guys who were invested at us originally when
- 1:24:05Speaker 5: I got here wanted us to get on television. They're like,
- 1:24:07Speaker 5: really need to get on television. So I spent a
- 1:24:10Speaker 5: year trying to get us on television. If we got
- 1:24:12Speaker 5: on television twice. Both of them are canceled like fairly instantly.
- 1:24:16Speaker 5: ESPN and then Comedy Central, which was a great experience,
- 1:24:20Speaker 5: Comedy Central more so than ESPN.
- 1:24:22Speaker 6: But the realization there.
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: You cancel from Comedy Central.
- 1:24:26Speaker 5: Yeah, a pilot, we had like a four night pilot
- 1:24:28Speaker 5: at the super Bowl in Houston, and then they did that.
- 1:24:31Speaker 6: Yeah, they didn't want to do it.
- 1:24:32Speaker 5: It's just so stupid trended, you know, crazy high ratings.
- 1:24:38Speaker 5: But the reality was is that when a when a
- 1:24:42Speaker 5: traditional media brand has a shield, in my opinion, when
- 1:24:46Speaker 5: they have the brand, things that are disruptive or or
- 1:24:52Speaker 5: counter to that brand are not often welcome in that environment.
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:24:56Speaker 6: That's why you know McAfee, if McAfee were.
- 1:24:59Speaker 5: To go have a sh show on TV, it would
- 1:25:01Speaker 5: be a really different show than what you see on
- 1:25:03Speaker 5: YouTube because he would have to conform when you look
- 1:25:07Speaker 5: at you know, even when you looked at Van Talk, right,
- 1:25:10Speaker 5: like who Pft and Dan were on ESPN is a
- 1:25:14Speaker 5: very washed version of and they they worked so hard
- 1:25:19Speaker 5: to stay authentic, but it's just a muted version of
- 1:25:22Speaker 5: who you can be on the Internet. And so you know,
- 1:25:27Speaker 5: I really I felt like I had a choice of like,
- 1:25:29Speaker 5: do I just go triple down and build this thing
- 1:25:31Speaker 5: as big as it can be and be as formidable
- 1:25:33Speaker 5: as we can make it, or do I try to
- 1:25:36Speaker 5: cater to somebody trying to accept you know, acceptance essentially,
- 1:25:41Speaker 5: and we were just never going to get accepted. So
- 1:25:44Speaker 5: I think the narrative of like misogyny and bro culture,
- 1:25:49Speaker 5: and you know, I think that's just convenient. I think
- 1:25:53Speaker 5: it's just it's puttered around by people who really don't
- 1:25:56Speaker 5: care to listen to any of our shows, or watch
- 1:25:58Speaker 5: any of our shows, or follow any of our personalities
- 1:26:01Speaker 5: or see why our business is so radical.
- 1:26:05Speaker 6: It's just a convenient.
- 1:26:06Speaker 5: Thing to say because it's been in a bunch of
- 1:26:08Speaker 5: headlines and it just tries to keep us in the box.
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: What is bro culture?
- 1:26:13Speaker 5: I think bro culture is like white guys, right, have
- 1:26:18Speaker 5: three white guys?
- 1:26:20Speaker 6: Yeah, I think bro means white guy.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: People would for sure throw us in that box.
- 1:26:24Speaker 3: People that did, people that don't you know what I mean,
- 1:26:26Speaker 3: people that I'm trying to wonder what's wrong with it?
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: You know, can please them all?
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: Please them?
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: Like, oh that's a bad deal.
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: I get the misogyny thing, yeah, but the pro pro culture, yeah,
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: are you just hitting a demographic.
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: Yeah, man, what do you want to say.
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's outstanding that you went
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: through those avenues and found out like, okay, TV's not
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: for us, mainstream is not for us, like all this
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: shit because like at the end of the day, like
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: authenticity is going to prevail over all this stuff. Like
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: when we used to watch TV, well growing up, we
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: would see like but yeah, the NBC is CNAs, the
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: Foxes like all this suit, buttoned up type of style
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: and that's like going out the window.
- 1:27:06Speaker 5: Now you don't want to hear in the wrong direction.
- 1:27:08Speaker 5: I behind a desk in an outfit you don't recognize.
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: There's a reason why in the last five years barstools
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: now it's three hundred employees and I think ESPN what
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: they fired over one hundred.
- 1:27:17Speaker 5: And they're not Look at if you look at MTV
- 1:27:19Speaker 5: right like, I'm like an MTV kid, I grew up MTV.
- 1:27:22Speaker 5: If you go look at the programming guide for MTV
- 1:27:25Speaker 5: right now, they run ridiculous, like ridiculousness.
- 1:27:28Speaker 6: All fucking day, sixteen hours an hour.
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: Yeah, what are uh?
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: Which is crazy because what their programs were when I
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: was growing up would be killing it now?
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: So rotten?
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: I asked the cky uh the show where you like
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: put three guys on a bus and then they owe next. Yes, Also,
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: that was fucking awesome if you had shows like that now,
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: holy shit, dude, Room Raiders, Yes, dude, Room Raiders was
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: fucking unreal. You do that and the girl just picks
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: between three guys based on what their room looks like. Like,
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: that's love for sure, Go and flush that down the toilet.
- 1:27:59Speaker 1: That's fucking unbelievable. You put that out there. Now, you
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: wouldn't have to run ridiculous, right because that's.
- 1:28:04Speaker 5: Like the only But they don't know how to produce
- 1:28:05Speaker 5: it for the Internet because it's like, so it's television.
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: It's yeah, I guess.
- 1:28:10Speaker 6: You're exactly right.
- 1:28:11Speaker 5: Like MTV was so radical and it's music videos were
- 1:28:15Speaker 5: so radical and then the reality piece of it was amazing. Yeah,
- 1:28:19Speaker 5: it would be so killer right now.
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: What the cribs? Cribs just still thinking of shows.
- 1:28:26Speaker 3: When you first got the bar seool and you leaned
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: into where part of my take went to the top
- 1:28:30Speaker 3: Spin Chickens went to this top for play. What were
- 1:28:32Speaker 3: things you implemented when you got there that kind of
- 1:28:34Speaker 3: grew you guys into what you are now, because obviously
- 1:28:36Speaker 3: if you started out kind of with a crew like this,
- 1:28:38Speaker 3: you come in as the new big week CEO. Just
- 1:28:40Speaker 3: being out all these dudes, like what were things that
- 1:28:43Speaker 3: you implemented right away?
- 1:28:44Speaker 2: That kind of sparked it.
- 1:28:46Speaker 5: I really when when I got there, we had the
- 1:28:49Speaker 5: Kevin Clancy show, pardon my take, probably had one or
- 1:28:51Speaker 5: two episodes. Dave had a probably want a handful of
- 1:28:56Speaker 5: episodes on his show. I wanted to see us get
- 1:28:59Speaker 5: beyond blog. The majority of barstool in twenty sixteen was
- 1:29:02Speaker 5: a blog. Like they were bloggers. They blogged to every
- 1:29:04Speaker 5: thirty minutes. That's what these guys knew how to do,
- 1:29:06Speaker 5: they wrote. But what was happening at the time was
- 1:29:10Speaker 5: like podcasting was just beginning, and it wasn't expensive, right.
- 1:29:13Speaker 5: I didn't have much money here, Like we didn't have
- 1:29:15Speaker 5: a huge production budget, we didn't have sets, Like we
- 1:29:18Speaker 5: were like spending all the company's money on opening an
- 1:29:21Speaker 5: office and getting everyone to New York.
- 1:29:23Speaker 6: And my thing live was starting. So Facebook Live had.
- 1:29:28Speaker 5: Just launched or was about to launch, and Twitter had
- 1:29:31Speaker 5: bought Periscope, and my thing was like just turn the
- 1:29:34Speaker 5: camera on these guys. If we can just turn the
- 1:29:36Speaker 5: camera on and get to video, then we have audio
- 1:29:40Speaker 5: and video and we have written content, and can we
- 1:29:43Speaker 5: figure out no one would ever give barstool a chance.
- 1:29:46Speaker 5: We most media companies are built on some type of
- 1:29:49Speaker 5: distribution cable television, broadcast, television, newspaper, right, magazines. We our
- 1:29:57Speaker 5: distribution is the Internet and social media, and so we
- 1:30:02Speaker 5: just started to have eyes only for that because no
- 1:30:05Speaker 5: one was going to ever come give us a leg
- 1:30:06Speaker 5: up and give us their distribution. That's why I wanted
- 1:30:10Speaker 5: television as I was like, I'll take your eyeballs. I
- 1:30:13Speaker 5: can give them shit that they want to watch. We'll
- 1:30:14Speaker 5: take your eyeballs. And then they're like, we're not giving
- 1:30:16Speaker 5: you our eyeballs, and I was like, all right, well Instagram,
- 1:30:19Speaker 5: lets anybody take eyeballs, So I'll just go be great
- 1:30:21Speaker 5: at Instagram. So it was all about like, how do
- 1:30:24Speaker 5: we start doing more stuff in more places and then
- 1:30:27Speaker 5: protecting them like letting them do protecting them at all costs,
- 1:30:33Speaker 5: like keeping I kept the business really far away from
- 1:30:36Speaker 5: our creative people because every company that I'd ever been at,
- 1:30:40Speaker 5: when you when you kind of fuck up the content
- 1:30:43Speaker 5: with the sales stuff. It just it ruins the rawness.
- 1:30:47Speaker 5: It ruins what made the content great. So I just
- 1:30:50Speaker 5: tried to protect them.
- 1:30:51Speaker 3: Was was it difficult or was there a learning curve
- 1:30:54Speaker 3: when you first came in and you're around these guys.
- 1:30:57Speaker 3: You know, you're around these dudes who are like making
- 1:30:59Speaker 3: content everything else, seeing you as like the decision maker
- 1:31:02Speaker 3: and non necessarily decision maker because you guys worked as
- 1:31:04Speaker 3: a team, but you coming in and giving your input.
- 1:31:07Speaker 5: They are so good, Like Barstools the least sexist company
- 1:31:10Speaker 5: I've ever worked for. Like there was like I worked
- 1:31:14Speaker 5: for Yahoo, I worked for a Well, I worked for Microsoft,
- 1:31:16Speaker 5: Like huge amount of sexism, a lot of bias.
- 1:31:19Speaker 6: Like these guys.
- 1:31:23Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I'm telling you the adversity when you're
- 1:31:27Speaker 3: on the bush.
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: It's just a little bit.
- 1:31:31Speaker 5: No, they were really good to me. They were just
- 1:31:34Speaker 5: from the jump. I don't think they cared like they
- 1:31:37Speaker 5: It's a nice thing about Barstool. It's like just nobody cares,
- 1:31:41Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Yeah, just nobody cares. Well
- 1:31:43Speaker 5: business wise, like, yeah, Dave was awesome. Most times, if
- 1:31:48Speaker 5: you go to a startup and you have an external
- 1:31:50Speaker 5: person come in, that person the founder is like oh wait,
- 1:31:54Speaker 5: that's my job or you know, I want to control that.
- 1:31:57Speaker 5: I want to make all the decisions. Dave did not
- 1:31:58Speaker 5: want to, and yet I wanted Dave part of most
- 1:32:02Speaker 5: every decision because I really value what Dave has to say.
- 1:32:05Speaker 6: So we just we had a good thing going.
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: Yeah, that's definitely it's ten eighteen. Oh it is just
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: to keep you, just to keep you posting? Can you
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: throw that thing up? Working with Dave? What is it
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: like working with Dave?
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: And how is it? How is it? Uh?
- 1:32:21Speaker 3: I guess changed and more so over the last couple
- 1:32:24Speaker 3: of years because again, you guys are growing at a
- 1:32:26Speaker 3: huge rate, the whole corp British like core value thing.
- 1:32:30Speaker 3: Obviously you guys stick to who you are and what
- 1:32:32Speaker 3: you know. But like your guys' relationship throughout these past
- 1:32:35Speaker 3: couple of years, especially like when people try and cancel
- 1:32:38Speaker 3: you guys all the time.
- 1:32:38Speaker 6: Like what it like working with I.
- 1:32:40Speaker 5: Love working with Dave. I think Dave's probably the smartest
- 1:32:43Speaker 5: person I've ever met. Like, Dave is so smart?
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: Damn like that?
- 1:32:46Speaker 6: Yeah, how so, so he's just.
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: That's why he's a smart ass dude. But the smartest
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: person you've ever met.
- 1:32:53Speaker 6: He content wise, he's a genius. He's a genius.
- 1:32:57Speaker 3: Like the world doesn't see behind Cloe does when he's
- 1:33:00Speaker 3: talking with you in those rooms.
- 1:33:02Speaker 5: No, I think the world sees it like it's so
- 1:33:06Speaker 5: it's in some ways so obvious and or basic, yet
- 1:33:09Speaker 5: it's brilliant pizza reviews, Like that's not a radical concept.
- 1:33:13Speaker 5: But the way he does pizza reviews. Look at how
- 1:33:16Speaker 5: big that brand has got, Like it's insane. He has
- 1:33:19Speaker 5: pizza nos just his own propulsion, you know what I mean.
- 1:33:22Speaker 5: So you know, in the beginning, we in the beginning,
- 1:33:28Speaker 5: it was you know, it's tough like it was. You know,
- 1:33:31Speaker 5: we didn't have a P and L. Like there wasn't
- 1:33:33Speaker 5: no one lived in New York. We were trying to
- 1:33:35Speaker 5: build an office and open an office and hire people
- 1:33:37Speaker 5: and fire people and go go through like making a
- 1:33:41Speaker 5: company out of barstool. And you know, now we have
- 1:33:46Speaker 5: different problems, right like how do we work with pen
- 1:33:49Speaker 5: where do you know?
- 1:33:50Speaker 6: What do we want to be when we grow up?
- 1:33:51Speaker 6: How do we motivate people?
- 1:33:54Speaker 5: So I would say, like I just would say, our
- 1:33:57Speaker 5: partnership is pretty collaborative, like he knows what he he
- 1:34:00Speaker 5: knows what he knows, and he does what he does,
- 1:34:02Speaker 5: and I know what I know, and I do what
- 1:34:03Speaker 5: I do, and we stay in pretty close contact on
- 1:34:07Speaker 5: all of it.
- 1:34:07Speaker 6: Shorthand mostly, Yeah, what do you guys want to be
- 1:34:10Speaker 6: when you grow up? I don't know?
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: Like with Pen, what's the future of Pin? Look like?
- 1:34:14Speaker 5: I mean, Pen's interesting, I you know, I think the
- 1:34:17Speaker 5: media business is going to be the most interesting part
- 1:34:20Speaker 5: of Penn. Like when you think about how big, how
- 1:34:23Speaker 5: big all these brands are and how how many products
- 1:34:28Speaker 5: you can create from them or how many shows or
- 1:34:32Speaker 5: formats you can create with them.
- 1:34:34Speaker 6: We have sixty four brands. It's a lot of brands.
- 1:34:36Speaker 5: Like you look at the size and valuation of Viacom
- 1:34:40Speaker 5: or Discovery or Disney, like we're you know, are we
- 1:34:44Speaker 5: Disney for bros?
- 1:34:45Speaker 6: You know what I mean? Or what's that for? And bros?
- 1:34:49Speaker 5: You know what I mean? Like girls, you know what
- 1:34:51Speaker 5: I mean? Young people on the internet. So it's like,
- 1:34:53Speaker 5: could we build something really big there? And how can Pen?
- 1:34:58Speaker 5: You know, how do we get more more people to
- 1:35:02Speaker 5: obviously want to know how to bet, be confident to
- 1:35:04Speaker 5: bet or excited about betting.
- 1:35:06Speaker 6: You know that's important to them.
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I don't know nothing about betting.
- 1:35:10Speaker 6: You're not a betting guy.
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: I've never really done it because when you play football,
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: it's one of those things that you're never really allowed
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: to even jump into.
- 1:35:16Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley, Yeah.
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: Prime for the whole missing an eleven million dollars contract
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: for fifteen hundred dollars insane, fucking wild. But yeah, that's
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: something that when I'm done, I want to learn how
- 1:35:27Speaker 1: to do. I want to know the ins and outs
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: of because I feel like we talk about all the
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: time like that's where this that's where all this is going,
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: that's where the money is, that's where all that stuff.
- 1:35:35Speaker 5: The big talent contracts right now are not coming from
- 1:35:38Speaker 5: media companies are coming from sports betting companies.
- 1:35:40Speaker 3: Absolutely, Yeah, explain that because just on the outside looking in,
- 1:35:46Speaker 3: FanDuel spends all this fucking money DraftKings, win, bet MGM,
- 1:35:51Speaker 3: all this stuff. There's also a sports book and pen.
- 1:35:54Speaker 3: But you guys, maybe it's because I follow you guys
- 1:35:57Speaker 3: and I'm just aware that you guys do the Bartol
- 1:35:59Speaker 3: Sports Book. But from an advertising standpoint, it looks like
- 1:36:01Speaker 3: you guys, you guys aren't all these things the way
- 1:36:04Speaker 3: FanDuel and everything else is as far as like the
- 1:36:07Speaker 3: prime sponsor.
- 1:36:08Speaker 6: I guess no, I mean it.
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: They seem way more mainstream.
- 1:36:10Speaker 6: We used to be.
- 1:36:11Speaker 5: Now we just talk about our bets and we bet
- 1:36:13Speaker 5: obviously in the sportsbook, how.
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: Do you guys stack up to the competition?
- 1:36:18Speaker 6: Top three player?
- 1:36:20Speaker 5: But when you look at it, like if you look
- 1:36:22Speaker 5: at a FanDuel and DraftKings, they spend their marketing budgets
- 1:36:28Speaker 5: are insane, like three hundred million dollars, like an insane
- 1:36:32Speaker 5: amount of money. Billions and billions and billions of dollars
- 1:36:35Speaker 5: are spent on advertising. What those guys are figuring out
- 1:36:38Speaker 5: is that the television doesn't convert very well, or it
- 1:36:41Speaker 5: doesn't convert the way a personality converts, the way a
- 1:36:45Speaker 5: barstool would convert or a Dave would convert Dan or
- 1:36:48Speaker 5: you guys if you bet, or McAfee. And so they're
- 1:36:52Speaker 5: moving their money into those guys. So when you look
- 1:36:55Speaker 5: at where fanduels marketing dollars are going to go, they're
- 1:36:58Speaker 5: going to go to personalities. And that's why, and if
- 1:37:03Speaker 5: betting is just a front runner, all businesses will move
- 1:37:05Speaker 5: that way. You know, package goods, you look at travel
- 1:37:10Speaker 5: and leisure, you look at automotive.
- 1:37:13Speaker 6: You know you look at Chevy. Chevy wants twenty somethings.
- 1:37:17Speaker 5: To buy trucks, right, you are a killer platform for them.
- 1:37:22Speaker 2: Yeah, we do. If we killed lunch pail motherfuckers did,
- 1:37:24Speaker 2: no doubt lunch pail motherfuckers.
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: All right, boys, you guys have heard, probably heard a
- 1:37:28Speaker 3: lot about revot.
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: Let me start that again. It's okay. I know I'm
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: gonna get through this, but we're gonna ride this together.
- 1:37:33Speaker 3: Probably heard about Revitalite a lot by now you know
- 1:37:37Speaker 3: the drill. It is the adult version of a certain
- 1:37:39Speaker 3: drink you find in the baby aisle at your local store's, Walgreens, Walmart,
- 1:37:44Speaker 3: all that fun stuff. They took away the embarrassment we
- 1:37:46Speaker 3: meet at the register by putting their brand in places

- 1:39:04Speaker 1: the boys. Will fill me in on the weather in
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: Nebraska for this week. I'm a little pointed in.
- 1:39:09Speaker 3: Zero degrees looking at snow in March. I was sending
- 1:39:13Speaker 3: back like, fuck, yeah, it is kind of like that
- 1:39:16Speaker 3: out there.
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: You kind of forget, right, Yeah, yeah, going to Michigan,
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: like I kind of forget what the weather's like out
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: there too.
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: You think the summers, like all the summers.
- 1:39:24Speaker 6: Are beautiful, it's like balm me compared to Nebraska, this like, Oh,
- 1:39:29Speaker 6: I wish.
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: You'd think because I've never really been it's a little
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: more north.
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: What's that. I've never even really been to Michigan like that.
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: Oh, you're gonna have a blast, You're gonna love it.
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: Wait's not standing time for you. Like people will make
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: fun of Nebraska because there's literally nothing there, like people
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: like more cows than people, more cowsand people. So I'm
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: excited to see what Nebraska has to offer because if
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: you want a kid to come to a five star
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: athlete to go to Nebraska recruiting it, yeah you gotta
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: like but yeah, but not really.
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: Right you think wholesome, homegrown?
- 1:40:03Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt homegrown right there, dude, some thirty broads,
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying That Just I'm just excited
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: because they have.
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: Such a historic program.
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: They the last thing that want the NAT Championship was
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: win don't say ninety seven, Yeah, I mean it was,
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: but no, Michigan won.
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: In ninety seven.
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: But I would say that like if the story programs
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: like Nebrassa's, you know, they didn't have the best year
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: at best three and nineteen in the whole entire all
- 1:40:32Speaker 1: time of all all time, not even touching what Michig
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: had a big up year, But like there's something there's
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: more to Michigan as far as like to see and
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: do and like. And Arbor is an amazing town brand,
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: God does it ever and so but I think Michigan
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: can do a lot of things that you were talking
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: about what Barcel's doing, not exactly the same way, but
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: kind of like be a little more progressive about the
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: stuff they do. Everything's so traditional with them, and it's
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: like if you were just like, hey, unbutton the suit tie,
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: unbuttoned the suit collar, just a little it, let us
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: get in get in there.
- 1:41:03Speaker 6: I'm actually more and more disappointed with.
- 1:41:05Speaker 1: You think like if I'm a s U, if I'm
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: an ad at a SU, I'm like I'm getting every
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: five star athlete.
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: I didn't go there because there was too many pretty girls.
- 1:41:15Speaker 1: There's literally the main reason why I did not go
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: to Arizona State University. And if you're Arizona State is like, like,
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: you have amazing weather. It's always sunny out. There's people
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: that are living their best lives. Everyone's in shape, because
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: you gotta be in shape to be in Arizona. You're
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: not wearing a sweater. You can't hide that thing. You
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: go up north, you can have that real.
- 1:41:36Speaker 6: Exactly.
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: You gotta wear long everything.
- 1:41:38Speaker 6: It's a Nebraska recruiting plan.
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: Facilities, Yeah, but Alabama's got that, Michigan's got that, us.
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: Sure, for sure.
- 1:41:47Speaker 3: I think that's the hard part for Nebraska now is
- 1:41:49Speaker 3: like back in the nineties and back in the old days,
- 1:41:51Speaker 3: like they were, they were winning, they were the ones on.
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: TV because not a lot of games were televised.
- 1:41:56Speaker 3: And when I was getting recruited, the whole stitch was like,
- 1:41:58Speaker 3: if we can get if we can just get recruit
- 1:42:00Speaker 3: to come out here and see that it's not it's
- 1:42:01Speaker 3: more than Nebraska, the cornfields and stuff like that. Usually
- 1:42:04Speaker 3: guys would commit because we have great facilities. But now
- 1:42:07Speaker 3: everyone's able to build these facilities, so they're gonna have
- 1:42:10Speaker 3: to go above and beyond where I think Nebraska can
- 1:42:12Speaker 3: compete is all the whole new ni L layout because
- 1:42:17Speaker 3: there's a lot of money, there's a lot of boosters,
- 1:42:18Speaker 3: there's a.
- 1:42:19Speaker 6: Lot of they will date.
- 1:42:20Speaker 3: Yeah, Nebraska will do a lot to try and win.
- 1:42:24Speaker 5: Will be more aggressive in letting players make their own money.
- 1:42:27Speaker 2: I think so or I think people come into it
- 1:42:30Speaker 2: that gotta be a genius player.
- 1:42:31Speaker 3: You're especially looking at free agency now with this with
- 1:42:33Speaker 3: these college athletes, and so you know just that you.
- 1:42:37Speaker 6: Guys shouldn't have ANILE.
- 1:42:40Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know because we're look at the position
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: we're in right now.
- 1:42:43Speaker 6: It worked out, got it?
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: Did it? Ever? Yeah?
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, like, Yeah, I don't think
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: I would really care about the NILE thing. I was
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: clear for Pelgrint and I still didn't file for it.
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like Pilgram, you're a big
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: college living and it's like, I don't only know NFL Anyway.
- 1:43:00Speaker 3: I thought this because even back then, like if we
- 1:43:03Speaker 3: would have had NIL then that means we would have
- 1:43:04Speaker 3: had social media. Well we we did, but we were
- 1:43:07Speaker 3: more in the incubator stages of those.
- 1:43:09Speaker 2: But you have had social.
- 1:43:10Speaker 3: Media coming out of high school and we would probably
- 1:43:12Speaker 3: just saw ship differently because that's what kids are now.
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: Definitely is the this is.
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: The place you want to be for sure, through all
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: that bullshit colleges. It's the fucking wild West of sports
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: for real.
- 1:43:24Speaker 2: It's gonna kind it's gonna get nuts, man.
- 1:43:26Speaker 3: Like again, you're opening up a Pandora's box of all
- 1:43:29Speaker 3: this money flowing around. And I still think like the
- 1:43:31Speaker 3: big dogs are gonna still reign supreme because they're gonna
- 1:43:34Speaker 3: find ways to.
- 1:43:35Speaker 5: Well, they're not gonna want in the universities don't want
- 1:43:38Speaker 5: the money to go to the athletes, right, the money
- 1:43:41Speaker 5: goes to them.
- 1:43:41Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think now, I don't know if you've
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: heard this too, but the SEC is kind of like
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: making them their own super conference. It's gonna try to
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: get away from the n C Double A SEC.
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I don't know.
- 1:43:53Speaker 1: It's gonna see the se n C double A out
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: of it. Like talk about a monopoly like they have.
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: It's great as greatest business of all time, it really is.
- 1:44:02Speaker 6: It's so smart, great business.
- 1:44:03Speaker 2: We're using these kids.
- 1:44:04Speaker 6: Here's what we're gonna get paid because that's unfair.
- 1:44:06Speaker 5: That's what we're gonna do legal for them to get paid, right,
- 1:44:09Speaker 5: so we're just going.
- 1:44:09Speaker 6: To keep all the money.
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a control all the rights, right, genius
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: super genius.
- 1:44:16Speaker 3: Kids are figuring out a little more and more though,
- 1:44:18Speaker 3: I mean guys staying out of bowl games and doing
- 1:44:20Speaker 3: this and that, and coaches like because the universities will
- 1:44:23Speaker 3: make the money, right and they'll pay and do all
- 1:44:24Speaker 3: the incentivised the coaches in this and then and coaches
- 1:44:26Speaker 3: can stand up there. You know, it's it's the best
- 1:44:28Speaker 3: saying if they're about the team and they stay for
- 1:44:30Speaker 3: the team. But then you know what's his name from
- 1:44:32Speaker 3: Notre Dame goes and takes that job at LSU.
- 1:44:34Speaker 2: Brian Kelly. Yeah, Brian Kelly's kind of out in front
- 1:44:36Speaker 2: showing like, yo.
- 1:44:37Speaker 3: These coaches, everyone's everyone's in it for themselves.
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: And what a fucking weird approach that guy had when
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: he first got to l s U, like pretending to
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: have a Southern accent with bro. Yeah, and then like
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: he did a great pivot by making himself making fun
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: of himself on it like a basketball game. But like
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: someone had to when he was in the mirror going
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: all all right, y'all, do we're gonna have a great
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: time down here at l as if someone was like, hey, Ryan,
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: probably don't right, like you've been in Notre Dame for
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: the past ten years, like no one one who knows
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: this shit you No, it's even be like you just
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: walked through like the swamp, like I'm here now I've
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: done it. What a hilarious thing. But I also love
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: that he just tried it. I love the fact that
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: he was just like, all right, we're gonna give it
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: a go. But I think that that might take away
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: from sports a little bit, like the camaraderie of the
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: boys because that bariness early. Yeah, because camaraderie like comarader
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: is good in our locker rooms, but it's not the
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: same as when we were back in college.
- 1:45:35Speaker 6: And you know social media.
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: No, I just think I have a social media just
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: because it's you're in the real world while playing sports.
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: Like in college, you're everyone's in the same playing field.
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: We're all going to class, we're all working out its exam,
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: you're all boosting on Fridays to figure out the weekend.
- 1:45:52Speaker 4: Wives.
- 1:45:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the NFL.
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: Like when I was a rookie, I'm playing with dudes
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: that are thirty three years old and I'm twenty one.
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: I adjusted at twenty one years old. You like, what
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: the fuck these guys have four kids at home and
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, yes, you know you're not. You're not
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: living the same life. Yeah, so it's all it's way
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: more spread out obvious reasons.
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a job for sure.
- 1:46:11Speaker 1: That thing needs lighting up too, by the way, Yeah,
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: just the whole process of the NFL is just that
- 1:46:15Speaker 1: just needs to light in the fuck up.
- 1:46:19Speaker 2: We're at like ten thirty thirty. You got anything else?
- 1:46:24Speaker 2: You got anything?
- 1:46:26Speaker 6: All right? What do you think about the metaverse?
- 1:46:34Speaker 2: No, no, don't let that go blost. That's she's a
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: she's a boss man, she knows how to flip it.
- 1:46:39Speaker 6: Are you in the metaverse?
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: No, I'm not.
- 1:46:42Speaker 4: I just I've just been watching like a few things
- 1:46:44Speaker 4: on it, so, I mean it seems like that's obviously
- 1:46:46Speaker 4: where we're transitioning to, is like the VR world. So
- 1:46:49Speaker 4: with this being like a big brand and being usually
- 1:46:53Speaker 4: in front of everything, I was just curious if there
- 1:46:55Speaker 4: was a plan about the metaverse.
- 1:46:57Speaker 2: The way you guys, you know, you just bounced around
- 1:47:00Speaker 2: that fucker like.
- 1:47:02Speaker 5: I don't think that we So NFL is actually decent
- 1:47:08Speaker 5: oddly in the metaverse.
- 1:47:10Speaker 6: They have a metaverse, but they have a whole metaverse
- 1:47:12Speaker 6: strategy stuff going on.
- 1:47:13Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys were at Blocks. You guys were before
- 1:47:17Speaker 3: everybody else with the Internet. You understood what it was
- 1:47:19Speaker 3: going to look like.
- 1:47:20Speaker 5: We can understand how to work it in somebody else's system.
- 1:47:24Speaker 5: Where we have to figure out the metaverse is like Roadblocks, Like,
- 1:47:29Speaker 5: do you guys know Roadblocks?
- 1:47:30Speaker 6: Roadblocks is fucking insane. You should go look at Roadblocks.
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: Roadblocks, Roadblocks r O b O l O X okay,
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: roadblo genius company.
- 1:47:39Speaker 5: Really, So what Roadblocks has done is Roadblocks has like
- 1:47:43Speaker 5: thousands and thousands and thousands of games and each game
- 1:47:47Speaker 5: is a world. Right, So there's Blocksburg where it's like
- 1:47:50Speaker 5: you have your own house, and you have a job,
- 1:47:53Speaker 5: and you have a car, and you can meet your
- 1:47:55Speaker 5: friends that you can meet your friends in the game, right,
- 1:47:59Speaker 5: get him off the.
- 1:47:59Speaker 6: Screen, all right?
- 1:48:02Speaker 5: So that's Roblox. So there's thousands of worlds in Roadblocks.
- 1:48:07Speaker 5: Robots enables kids to develop their own games, so they're
- 1:48:11Speaker 5: developing new worlds for free.
- 1:48:13Speaker 6: Oh that's okay.
- 1:48:14Speaker 5: And then imagine barstool can have you have a bus
- 1:48:19Speaker 5: and T shirt in there, or you're on the bus, right,
- 1:48:22Speaker 5: the bus is in a game, or one of the
- 1:48:25Speaker 5: games is a pizza shop, right, so what's one bite
- 1:48:29Speaker 5: in the pizza shop?
- 1:48:30Speaker 6: So that's what we're thinking about now. I don't know
- 1:48:32Speaker 6: in terms of what Facebook will be. I think they
- 1:48:35Speaker 6: have something called Horizon.
- 1:48:37Speaker 5: Somebody from Facebook asked if I wanted to have a
- 1:48:39Speaker 5: meeting in the metaverse, and I.
- 1:48:41Speaker 6: Was like, I'm not sure.
- 1:48:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:48:42Speaker 4: One of the things that I was kind of excited
- 1:48:45Speaker 4: to see, like being courtside like at games and stuff
- 1:48:47Speaker 4: like that. Like if there's a way to incorporate like
- 1:48:50Speaker 4: fans of the podcast and bringing people into the bus
- 1:48:53Speaker 4: through VR, definitely would be a pretty cool.
- 1:48:56Speaker 6: We just wanted to scale.
- 1:48:57Speaker 5: Like, so, I think there's a couple Like there's blockchain, right,
- 1:49:01Speaker 5: so like the blockchain is going to be its own
- 1:49:04Speaker 5: thing where you buy something, you buy a bust In
- 1:49:08Speaker 5: sweatshirt or you buy whistle pig, and your receipt can
- 1:49:12Speaker 5: be an NFT, right, and then there's a brand around
- 1:49:15Speaker 5: the receipt or around the item you purchase. So everything
- 1:49:18Speaker 5: that exists physically will exist in a virtual world and
- 1:49:22Speaker 5: will be uniquely identifiable on the blockchain.
- 1:49:25Speaker 6: And will be uniquely monetizable. So that's one piece of it.
- 1:49:29Speaker 5: Then the second piece of it is like, do you
- 1:49:31Speaker 5: create the virtual bus and people come in here and
- 1:49:33Speaker 5: hang out? Definitely, but you want it to scale, Like
- 1:49:36Speaker 5: that's our thing is. We're not going to go build
- 1:49:39Speaker 5: a world that nobody goes to, like I want to
- 1:49:41Speaker 5: be in the biggest worlds in the like with the
- 1:49:44Speaker 5: rowdiest bunch of people, right, And so that's what we
- 1:49:47Speaker 5: still have to figure out.
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: We haven't figured that out yet. It's so fresh and
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: new too.
- 1:49:50Speaker 1: It's so new it's going to fail and then it's
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: going to be brought back up and beginning.
- 1:49:55Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
- 1:49:56Speaker 6: So it's like yeah, people they're super ratty. Yeahty.
- 1:49:59Speaker 5: It's like it's not that it's going away, but it's
- 1:50:02Speaker 5: like no, but it's it's like whose dick is.
- 1:50:04Speaker 6: Bigger in the internet, you know what I mean?
- 1:50:07Speaker 5: And it's like, why don't we let them play that
- 1:50:09Speaker 5: and then we'll figure out what business you do?
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: Fallly n Fts too, I mean, the whole all of it,
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: all of it. It just seems like it's a guy. No, yeah, no,
- 1:50:17Speaker 1: I'm not in it. I don't understand it enough, Like this.
- 1:50:20Speaker 1: This company asked me. It's called Meto Wolves. They asked
- 1:50:22Speaker 1: me to do something with them, and I said yeah,
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: and they said, they give me some n fts. Uh,
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: So I posted a couple of things. So I have
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: n fts now, But like, what do I do with it?
- 1:50:31Speaker 2: How does it work? I kind of just hold on
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: to it like a stock at this point.
- 1:50:34Speaker 5: That's right, but it will become Look when it you know,
- 1:50:38Speaker 5: it's like the gronk has his NFTs.
- 1:50:40Speaker 6: Right, it's all going to be about your It's all
- 1:50:42Speaker 6: about nil.
- 1:50:44Speaker 5: It's nil for grown ups in the in on the blockchain,
- 1:50:48Speaker 5: I would think about it. You're gonna have fifty pictures
- 1:50:50Speaker 5: of the bus. Two of them are going to be
- 1:50:52Speaker 5: gold plated. Yeah, and there'll be value. There's neck, there's
- 1:50:56Speaker 5: an economy around here.
- 1:50:57Speaker 1: Should go plate the bus in real life too, every
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: bad ass.
- 1:51:01Speaker 6: Like give the bus a girl the bush of a girl.
- 1:51:02Speaker 1: Yeah, it does technically have a girl, but a lot
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: of different gold girl.
- 1:51:06Speaker 6: Yeah, gold on Simon there forever. Thank you for having me.
- 1:51:12Speaker 2: Yeah, this has been awesome.
