• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, you want to talk that dilemma a little bit,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you can talk through it a little bit. I so
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Patrick Holmes owns me. Patrick Holmes is my daddy.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: It's crazy because I'm not. I don't root for an
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: AFC team, but somehow I've ended up just getting owned
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: by this guy. He's so fucking good. I've had four
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: futures in the last thirteen months, all great value that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: all have lost to Patrick Mahomes Bengals Eagles in twenty
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: twenty two, Ravens Bills in twenty twenty three. So I
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: never embedded directly against Patrick Mahomes. I'm just putting in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: these bets in like August and then they end up
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Homes Skills. So after the game, I was like Patrickholmes,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: no matter what, like game of the Year, Patrick Holmes.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And now I'm just starting to think, and it's like,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I'm is pretty good.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know, They're falling.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Back in the trap.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: All back in the trap? Are you right now? Currently?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Are you leaning?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Not only I'm leaning Niners, but I think I need
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to just suck it up and be like, fuck it,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I'm taking Patrick Maholmes because at the end of the day,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and you guys, you know, I know Will gambled out
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: throughout his entire career, you didn't at the end of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the day. There's something with gambling where you have to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: make a decision. There's there's a win and a loss,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: but there's an extra element to it sometimes when it's
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: like Patrick Holmes and Tom Brady and Nick Saving and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick some of these guys right where it's it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: not just winning loss, it's winning loss, and if you
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: lose going against them, you feel like the biggest ad
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: at of all time. And everyone says, how did you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: bet against Patrick Mahomes? And that's way worse.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I see your brain break.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: That's way worse.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It feels so much worse when someone can just tweet
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you and be like, dude, you would against me?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Stamen, Fuck yeah, I.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Did, an idiot dismantling. Yeah, yes, truly.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It has ruined the entire sec Yeah shams. And by
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the way, shout out Billy basketball over here. I don't
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: know if you know if he's a hoop head. Now, oh, yeah,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: what happened. Yeah, because it was very funny.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: So big Cat Nebraska just be Wisconsin, Nebraska, Wisconsin, that's what.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, Nebraska beat Wisconsin.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I didn't even know that that game was taking place,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: and somebody in my mentions was like, hey, I think
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: I tweeted something. Somebody's like, hey, Nebraska, Wisconsin and ot
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: and anytime, it's like Nebraska is constant.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: We just think of each other. Yeah, I'm thinking of
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Big Cat.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: So I turned it on and just catch the overtime
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: portion of the game. And I don't watch any college basketball.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: We were watching it last night and it was the
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: third game I've ever watched the Nebraska They almost beat
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Illinois and uh, Nebraska pulls it off in ot wisconsole
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: was up apparently nineteen.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: It's some point, think seventeen or nine. So I just maccount.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, I'm sorry about Wisconsin, and like he's like,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I hear a lot, a lot I had actually previously,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I think like maybe a few days before, like with
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: all my teams, I'm pretty I'm pretty like as crazy
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: as I can get. I'm pretty unbiased in the fact that,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: like I know the limitations of my teams like, I know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to have happiness, but there are certain
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: teams that they reach a point where I'm like, all right,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I'm ready to get like emotionally hurt.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Like I think they're good, I'm gonna get hurt. That's okay.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So I reached that point with Wisconsin. I was like,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I think they're really good. I'm ready to get emotionally hurt.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: So he starts texting me like a good game, blah
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: blah blah. I'm like, this fucking guy, no way he
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: watches any of these games. So and then after that
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: he sucks ship. Then he text me he goes, how
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: do you get into the tournament? Like it's like you
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: gotta wait for like a wedding invite. He said, how
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: do you get into the tournament? I said.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I I don't know either. Oh, I said, help me
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: out here. Is that a big right? You have to
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: win a certain amount of games? Yeah? I say, okay,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: you're in the game.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: With that question.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: He asked me that question after talking about his team
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: beating my team. I was like, I wanted to punch
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: a wall.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I was so mad.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: I said, help me understand how you get in the
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Tony does does the bask have a shot here since
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: they've upset a couple of top.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Ten understand they win, they win that one game, they're
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: gonna make it. Yeah, because I.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Saw like you were asking, like, is it like the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: pope when they do the smoke stats? Like is that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: how you get in the tournament? Like do you just
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: do you stumble upon an invite on the ground? Like
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: is it like Willie Walker? Do you find the Golden ticket?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: How do you get in the tournament?
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm wondering last night question when they're playing.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Illinois last night and they're unranked, I'm thinking, why can't
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: they be ranked if they're taking Illinois? Oh team, they're
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: ranked fourteen. They beat Perdue, who's number two. They beat Wisconsin,
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: who's still number six.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Well was on Monday, so we were six this last week.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: We won't be six on today. Someone probably has the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: rankings right now. So football, how you like? If you well,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: football is one game. It's I know, but I feel
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: like every team loses in there, like number one. You're like,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: how are they still number one at the end.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Of the game.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, team gets upset.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: If the one team gets upset on Tuesday and They're
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: still playing Friday as a number one team.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like, why they still.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Rum week's week? How do you get into the tournament?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Like after that loss and I said, I was emotionally
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: going to get hurt and I even knew we were, Like,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I said, this is how sick it is. In the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: morning of the game, I was like, the brass is
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a really tough place to play. I kind of expect
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the Badgers to lose, and then they went up seventeen.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: I was like, that's how you do a great job
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: with your insurance policies though, because I had saw that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I because you guys are like fourteen and one at
• 7:46

  Speaker 3: Let's get back to this episode.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: No, you're talking about it, but you brought up a
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: good point about being like having reasonable expectations for your team.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: JP and I got an argument on.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: The bus because you sound crazy.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: No, because listen, it's different.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: It's fucking different different.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to it's hard.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: You don't know hard. It's not you making it to
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the costal wall.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Playoff is hard. Yes, you don't know what it's like.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Only twelve. I know it's like being two and thirteen
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: or two and fifteen. I know if i'd be three
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: and thirteen, I know with the Tennessee Titans and we're
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: not talking about the Titana, I know what that would be.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Nine the thirteen with Michigan and suck and.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: All the old players come back and be like, you
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: guys fucking suck about This is my first year being
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: a fan of sports, and so my thought is is
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: knowing the expectation of Michigan this year, it's truly national
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: championship or bust. So the stress level is much higher
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: than if you're able to look at what we'll just
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: use Wisconsin. We know Wisconsin didn't have the talent level
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: to win a national championship, so the losses don't hurt
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: as much as opposed to when Michigan goes to plays
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: the Penn States, the Holos States, the Alabama's Yes.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: And Taylor said it was harder to be a fan
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: of Michigan than it was to be a bar teams.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: It's harder to be a fan, and I disagree.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: It's harder to be a fan this year. Hold on,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: let me.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: It's harder to be a fan of a team that
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: you can look at and say, this team can and
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: should win the national championship as opposed to a team
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: where you're hoping to have a winning record. Now hit
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: more context, Taylor's first year being a true fan saying
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: something like that, You're just thinking, what are you talking about?
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: So I think, but.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: I think me being a first year being a fan, well,
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: I guess it's a little.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Bit This year specifically, that argument is fair because of
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: what happened with Michigan. You knew Jim Harboro was gonna leave,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: You knew all the like, all the cheating allegations, all
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: this stuff.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: So I think just in this year.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: But if you ask, like, what's it easier, Like is
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: it harder to be an Alabama fan or like a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin Nebraska fan?
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Like I'll take being an Alabama.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Fan all day they win t right, but knowing that,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I'll give you yes.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: But if you have a team and you're like, okay,
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: we could probably win the baked In Championship this year.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Week two, you play a non conference game that's hard,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: and you lose that game, you think, okay, like now
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: I can now take these next two weeks or playing
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: some schlubs, some bowling greens and temper my expectations, know
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: that it might not be the year I expect. So
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: you get to kind of do a roller coaster as
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: opposed to a big tick.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't really disagree because it is like
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: in sports, it's about windows. Like if you have a
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: window and you squander that window, it's the most devastating.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: But if you're such a fan of your squad, there's
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: a there's that reasonable expectation that is like Michigan in
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: the National Title, which is like you know, Nebraska.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Getting ball eligible or are you having your own expectation
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: in Wisconsin, like we shouldn't be losing these games.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: They still hurt when there is like the window argument,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Like I know, like Hank used to make this argument
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and I thought it was kind of bullshit, but I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: sort of understand it applies to the Chiefs now. We're like,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: if you have the guy, you only have a certain
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: amount of years to have that guy. Like the Bills
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: right now, that's just Josh Allen has been playing great
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: football for his career and he's and they haven't been
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to a super Bowl. Like that's way worse than kind
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: of being in that lower pack where you're like, we're
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. We hasn't fully open or
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: like a Bengals fan, Like Bengals fan, you go to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, the next year, you lose in the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: AFC Championship. The next year, Joe Burrow gets hurt and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: you're like, wait, that was two years of our window
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: that just went like that. That that hurts.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: That stints as opposed to looking at your team and
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: being like, Okay, this is gouild for a year or two, and.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Then once we move for a year two and now
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: we can look look forward towards the window.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: So now those losses are more body shots than KOs.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: For example, would be like the twenty sixteen Cubs winning
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the World Series. Like they won the World Series, that
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: was the greatest thing ever. Everyone everyone was like, just
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: win one. But that team was so young and that
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: nucleus was so good that they then not like going
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: back to a World Series definitely hurt where it was
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: just like what how did this? And then like four
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: years later it was all blown up. You know, you're like,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: what the fuck just happened? Like I know it's crazy
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: because like one is enough, But when you do have
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: like what you think is a really good team in
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: a stretch of a five year like Spam, and you
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: only go to one World Series and.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: You're like, what's just happened?
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Like I thought I thought it was gonna be every year.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I love that it went my way and just for
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: this year though.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean just this year.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: But guys, but if we look at Michigan now, they
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: lost their head strength coach, which is like the goat.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Obviously, the goat strength coaches is the dude, Kirby Scott,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: whatever his name is, he's the best. He literally won
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: every he was Alabama's strength coach, left Alabama and then
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: won back to back with Georgia. You talk about it,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Concord Scott Cochran, he might be the best coach. I
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: actually have the theory that he is. He is the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: actual goat, because you guys can tell me if I'm
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: way wrong. I think there's no more important coach in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: all of college football in the strengthen conditioning coach because
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: they get their hands on the players.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: All year long.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: No, it's a very fair and he won in Alabama
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: and then he's like, all, I'm going to Georgia.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: We went to But by that logic, he would say
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: that the head coach is the least important coach.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: No, I think the head coach sets the tone. So
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I think there's definitely.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Sense the culture.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: But the guys, but if you're talking about hands on
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: strength coaches number one, and that would be your position coach,
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: then it would.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Be underrated coach that should probably be the best. Say
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I like, people don't see it.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: People don't know the strength and conditioning coach, that strength
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and conditioning coach, Like, especially in college football, you get
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: dudes that show up and they're like twounds.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: League.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, And now I do need to I
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: do need to get some words in before we get
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: away from that.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I know, I'm excited to stay in it because I
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: do want to. Yeah, talk about you.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: I get I understand all those points. I think they
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: are very fair. I feel like the hardest.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: One part Will says he understands points a lot of times.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, relax, relax.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: That, time out, time out.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: So I feel like, what's the most the most painful
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: thing about Taylor saying that is knowing that he didn't
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: necessarily mess with Michigan.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: A whole lot until this.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: I'll give them even last year too, But Michigan's went
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: to the playoff two years in a row, and now
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: they have the star studded like this is the year.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: And then they go out throughout the entire year, they
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: prove a lot of people wrong, and they do their thing.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: They win the national title, and he has the audacity
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: afterwards to look at guys experience loss and just hate
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: when their teams can't pull it out and just say
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: I think it's harder to be a.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Michigan fan than the other fans.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: But he just came in.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I don't put grudge him for just coming in, because
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: if you're if you're playing, you're probably not. It's like
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I don't really listen to a bunch of podcasts, like
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I know how the sausages made.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Are you loving sex every day? Probably not. I'm saying
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I love your takes. I love this way.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: You get here early. I'm like you, guys, I've been
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: here at eight o'clock.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: There's an accident. There's an accident on the highway. Hang on,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: hang on, hang on.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: I got to go back to that I've been I've
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: always pulled for Nebraska hard, even when I was playing.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Now, but hold on the reason.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: But you know the context of which why I kind
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: of dipped on Michigan and then slowly.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: But surely came back.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say something mean.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Go ahead and say it. Taylor was playing. Oh, I
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: was shot towards me.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of I'm smiling right now, but it's that.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I don't Will Compton three interceptions, go look it up.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Than ten years in the pros.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: And a couple of years I was run it. That
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: was d it up for me. I don't mean it,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: but I had to say it because it came in
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: my head. You mean it a little bit.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: No, I did not mean it all.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: If I went through your head, there's some true things.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: I did not mean it at all. I did not
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: mean it all all.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Walk room God, locker room God number one, number one
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: locker room.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I mean that he does that for us, and when
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: he comes every you know week during the football season,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: it's Chicago Q he's a locker room and he've been
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: punked when he comes in.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: If you look at a.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Fact, I'm just envisioned the saying that I'm just I'm
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: just saying there smiling, just staring at him and just zooming.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I listen. That was a mean thing to say,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: But I preface.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Saying, yeah, how do you think my emotion when you
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: look at the fandom though, like you've done a good
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: job of being a fan of the Bears and like
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: getting obviously going to the roller coach, Yeah, being will confident
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: and his undying loyalty in the basket and said something
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: you respect or the thing.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I respect the hell out of it because it's like
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it's like it's the it's the what's the what's the saying?
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Like the definition of insanity is doing the same thing
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: over and over expecting different results. Yeah, right, Like I
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: respect Will's Will rides and dies with them, and like
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: there's something about when Will gets talking about Nebraska, like
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: he does kind of sway me where he's like, yeah,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: if you just turn off like interceptions and injuries, like
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: this is good, you know what, right if you do
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: do that?
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: He does? He will, I mean, Will's a master motivating,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Like he doesn't go anyway.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: I appreciate you for trying to let me back up,
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: I said it was me. Yeah, should we pivot to
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: a part of my take? You guys have had I
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: am quins in.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: But just like when you go through a breakup, you're
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: gonna call our a couple of so right now, I'm
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: like trying our room today, tomong.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Lucy, Okay, how do you keep the same level of
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: enthusiastic hold on?
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I was trying to that the whole time. No, no, still
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: keep it, still keep it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: How do you keep the same level of enthusiasm for
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: your podcast?
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: That's been number one for I don't know how many
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: years running.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Let's say last three, right, I mean, Travis, but that's
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: a that's an as, that's that's but in the the
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: one episode a week and like swift, everyone's swift bullshit
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: and uh, but the real podcasters of the of the
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: of the world so much you guys being on top
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: for as long as you guys have, how do you
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: keep that same level of enthusiasm throughout the entire year?
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Like you guys drop three pods a week.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: Even when Taylor and I flirt with the idea of too,
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: we click, we quickly remember just the monotony of doing
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: too and being like, bro, think thinking how much we
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: have to just come back in and like try to
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: come up with just more bullshit, and you guys deliver
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: three times, three days a week.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: That's smart of you guys, because we had to say,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: like when we started part of.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: My take, people are like five days a week, five
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: days a week, And we flirted with like a Saturday
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: episode and like wait, hold on, like you got to
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: know your own limits, like of is it gonna be
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: diminishing returns?
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: So you guys are smart from that, I would say,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I mean number one.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Is like it's just fun to talk about sports, like
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and we've always from the beginning been like sports supposed
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to be fun.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: We're supposed to entertain people, make people laugh, talk about.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Sports, like, don't get too serious, never think that you're
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: bigger than Like I'm pretty honest with who I am,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Like I'm not a very smart guy. I think I
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: can be somewhat entertaining on the mic, but like at
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, like I don't think I
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: have some special skill that has people being like, oh,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I gotta listen to him. It's just the consistency and
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: more than anything, it's the changing sports calendar that's the
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: big thing. Like when we get to the other football season,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I'm ready for football season to be over, you know
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: what I mean. And then I love college basketball and
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I love talking about NBA and like that stuff. So
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: that's really kind of like what drives it all is
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: like loving all sports.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: But you gotta be on, Like I think you do
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: have a skill because you still have to be on,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: like you have to be in it, like there are
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: no you can't just be lazy one week like you
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: guys will go and recurt after Sunday night football, like
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: you know at midnight. Yeah, and you got to be
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: like on your shit because people smoke out, like if
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: you're just bullshitting.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: And that's with a family as well. Yeah, that's with
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: all the streaming and everything. And you walk into the
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: building every single guy where maybe not everybody else in
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: the building is having the same amount of workload as you,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: but you complain anymore and all that and you have
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: to sit through the bullshit. Now you're a boss here too, Yeah,
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: becomes you have a lot of your plate.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: It is a lot on plate. But I think it
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: actually like it's a little thing. It happens actually every Sunday,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: which I don't know when this will switch when my
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: kids get a little older and they're like, wait, your
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: job is like really dumb. But when I leave to
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: go to watch football, they're like all right, I'm like
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to work.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Like you know, when you get a hundred kids like
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: you go and watch TV.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yep, that's what that's working.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: So it's like having that mindset of like, yeah, there's
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: long nights, but fuck, it's the best job in the world.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Like you can't I couldn't dream of a better job,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: you know what. I mean, like I get to watch
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: sports for a living, talk about sports as.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: A joke, and he talks about like you say, have
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: the best job in the world. But when you got
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: to barstool.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Like did you see it turning into what it is now? No?
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Obviously not no, well, like.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: There was a little bit of org yeaheah, there was
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: definitely some time.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: So like when we first started it was just a
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: blog and there was there was definitely moments.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: And how many guys, how many guys are doing the.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Ball seven or eight of us?
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: So it was like Dave gaz hank Lewis in Boston,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Kevin and Kmarko in New York. Philly was Moe and
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Smitty me Nate and d C, Trent and Iowa. So yeah,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: it was like whatever, that's like ten.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: And it was.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: It was so fun.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: But there was also a like a moment where I
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: think Kevin had the same feeling and that's why he
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: started podcasting, which was genius by him of like there
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: ask me more. We have to evolve because like I
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: can't be forty years old. I'm not forty yet. Ankstrattelun'
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: forty Uh, you can't be forty years old? Sitting in
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: your underwear like blocking every day, you know what I mean,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Like you have to find more. So the good the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: good thing that happened with Barstool was like every time
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: it felt like I was not looking for something else
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: but like feeling like that itch of like what's more,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: it kind of happened naturally, Like right when Chernin bought
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: us in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen, was right when I
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: was like getting to the point where I was like,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: what's the next thing? Like what are we going to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: do next? And then it, you know, moved to New
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: York and all that stuff, and we blew it up.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: So it's like it's been good that every time I
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: felt that itch, there's been an answer internally, you know.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And even like the Chicago office now, like that has
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: been Like I could have Pete and I could have
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: stayed in New York and just kept on doing the
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: part of my take every day or every three days
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the time and probably made a
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: really good living.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: But it's like I want to do I want something different,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: you know what I.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Mean, Like I want space, I want to be able to.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Try new things.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: So like always trying to like think of what's next
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and like evolving and not being happened with like what
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: you're doing right there?
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: How'd you come across Barstool? Like where you just it was?
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: It was on There's a website called covers dot com
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: that used to have message boards for all of like
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the sports, and it was just gamblers and so like
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I've I've been gambling my whole life and I used
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: to like the dumb gambler brain thing is like you
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: go the go, there's a game tonight, I want to
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: bet the over. Let me go on covers and I'll
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: just pretty much find someone who's like, oh I like
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: the over.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Here's why.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh see, I.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Knew I was yeah, and Dave had Dave wrote like
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: articles on there, like guest articles being like mortal locks
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and stuff, and I was like, well, if he's saying
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: more a lock like it has.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: To be it wasn't.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but like and then finding that and just being
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: like this is is pretty cool and like it's just yeah,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: like the the gambling piece people complain about, and I
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: understand it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: People don't want to hear about our pats.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I get it, but like, at its core, barstool has
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: always been like gambling, you know what I mean? And Dave,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Like if I had to steal me and Dave's relationship
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: down to like what's like, what's the foundation of our relationship,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: It's like gambling and watching like Danny Boy came clips.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Like obviously our relationship is more than that.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: But like if say everything fell apart, like I would
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: still text day being like you got the action tonight,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Like you've betten anything tonight.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: You see day Boy came.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: To get a press conference about like a three star
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: recruit they got, Like that would still.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Be there now are you?
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: Just like did you just like reach out saying like hey,
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: I love the blog with you guys, Yeah, just like
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: and cover the stones.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Back in the day, it was just a blog, so
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: it was just like hey, like you know, here's a sample.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: And like I was working in real estate. I hit
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: that like quarter life crisis where like everyone you guys
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: obviously didn't have us as you were playing professional football.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: It actually might be similar to what happens to guys
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: when they retire, where they're like, what's what's the rest
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: of my life going to be? So like I was
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: working in real estate. I had a nice job, I
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: had the worst real estate career of all time. I
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: got into real estate in twenty two thousand and seven,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: like six months in the market completely crashed. They fired
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: everyone in the company pretty much except me, because I
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: was making thirty thousand dollars a year and they're like, well, he's.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: Making nothing and he can, we'll just make him do everything.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: So and then I got out in twenty twelve, which
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: when the market came back. So I literally was the worst,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the worst person in the world in terms of real estate.
• 25:24

• 25:39
  Speaker 1: story and and don't mention the.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Fact that like luck has a lot to do with everything.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Like luck has everything to.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Do with you know what I mean, Like, you guys
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: have the situation skills to be in the league, but
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: like there had to have been moments that luck came
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: into play.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: If I didn't get this.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Lucky balance, it would have gone totally different and like
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I just hate like some of like the you know,
• 26:00

• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Back to the episode when you when you reached out
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: to David first, Like what was your first impression we
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: were like meeting Dave Portnoy.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: He's he.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: The thing about Dave is like he he is who
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: you see. So it wasn't, you know, like I expected
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: who I saw, but he is who he is. But yeah,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: at that point, it was just blocks.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah he was.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was doing some video too, so but like
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: he Dave has always been the fairest like boss in
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: the entire world. Like I Dave really does believe in
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: like if you work hard and you get results, like
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I will pay you what you deserve. And like back
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: in the day we were getting paid, like I was
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: the first getting paid through PayPal and then.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: It was like checks and he would just mail us.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: And I just remember like even the first time, like
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: we got to like December and it was like I
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: kind of want to raise, Like he called me up
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: before I called him and was like, hey, I'm gonna
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: pump youto this, like it was bigger than I thought.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: So it's like he always is fair with that. Like
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I I don't think I don't think.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: I've ever even been close to free agency.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Like every time I sign a deal, we do it
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: for like two years and then we rip it up
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: into another one because he's like, you need to get
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: paid more, Like this is not fair.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: So it's like he's he's the fairest there ever is.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy when you're.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: Going from real estate to blogging, Like at what moment
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: were you're seeing like, oh, this the barcel thing could
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: be like a future piece just.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Outside of riding and having fun all the time, like
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: we can really do something.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like hmm. It was it was a
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: slow grind. It was a slow grind, but it was
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: like it was piece by piece where it's like you
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: hit a blog that hits like the Blackhawks wing the
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup was very big just because like those guys
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: were so nice to me and like Patrick Sharp, who's
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: a good friend, like let me literally hang out with
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: him after like and that was huge. Going around with
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: the Blackhawks, like with the Stanley Cup in the city
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: was crazy, and so those like little pieces just keep
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: piling up and it's like, oh, we're like, do you
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: think it's like a rocket ship because in the short term,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: like Barstool's been you know, especially since twenty sixteen. It
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: feels like it's been like overnight, But it was just
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: like a little slow, piece by piece being consistently there
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: for people, and like every day people would go into work,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: don't like their job, go on the blog, read some
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: funny stuff. We used to do a deal where every
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: thirty five minutes we had to have a new blog
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: about so it was like twelve blogs a day, like
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: literally just I would I would wake up, I take
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Stell for a walk, and I'd sit in my computer
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: and I wouldn't get it. I wouldn't get out of
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: my chair until like four o'clock. It would just be
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: every you know, just being on the internet. And I
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: think that consistency that Dave like instilled in all of
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: us is a huge part of it. Where people expected
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: to see barstool every single thirty five minutes like a
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: new blog, and like that's you know, that's that goes
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: with podcasting now and like people set their watch to
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: it where it's like I want to see this and
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: you're there for them, and that's that's huge. That's that's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the advice I give to everyone who never reaches out
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: being like oh I want to get into this like
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: you it's easy to write a blog or do a
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: podcast for a month. It's it's month two, three, four, five, six,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Like are you still doing it? Are you still have
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: the same vigor for it? Because a lot of people
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: can can do something for a month and be like, oh,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: this is awesome, where's my break? It's like no, no,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: it comes way later when you're consistently doing it for
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: a long time.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: So when churning came in, is that like a moment
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: where somebody's wanting to come in and invest where you're like,
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: this will this next piece?
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Dave, Kevin and I were definitely it was actually it
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: was like me and Kevin kind of verse Dave at
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: that point where it was like getting the tension was
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: really high because what happened was Dave Barstool started making
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: money in that twenty thirteen fourteen fifteen range. So Dave
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: like started making money because it was his baby, he
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: had been doing it for fifteen years. He bought a house, like,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: he started having started taking vacations, and Kevin and I
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: were sitting there like, well, we're still making whatever we're making.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: So it wasn't ever like a boiling point, but it
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: was definitely, like there's the seeds of re ztment. We're
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: kind of getting sewed, and it's Davis said this before,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: and I think it's a good analogy. It's like a band,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like every band there's one
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: lead singer and you know, at some point.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: The drummer and the basis are like, well, fuck, I
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: want a little more.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, So turning coming in was so huge because it
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: was finally like this idea, like we had equity in
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the company, but what does that mean?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Until equity means nothing if no one buys it.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: So when he bought it, it was like, oh fuck,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Like that was the first time we got a little
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: bit of money in our pocket. Like this is awesome.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: We're all gonna move to New York. We're all gonna
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: try this thing. So he came along in a perfect time.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: Couldn't have been better when the tension was there, like
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: how did you how how did that go down? Like
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: you and and Kevin just kind of approaching Dave about
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: a conversation.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Did you guys have conversations yourself? Yeah, Kevin, I have
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: conversations to ourselves. I think it was also just you
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: could see it sometimes, like on the rundown, it would
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: come through like that's a big thing. Like if there's
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the audience is not stupid, they know if like you're
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: not getting along, you know what I mean, they know
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: if there's a tension in the room. So I think
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: that we definitely suffer with the rundown, that little stretch
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: and just trying to figure everything out, like the New York.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: The first year in New York was fucking insane because
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: it was just throwing like fifty people in a small cramped.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Office and just seeing what worked, and everyone was trying
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: to make it.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Everyone was trying to figure out their lane, and it
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: was like, you you want to be a good teammate
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and be supporting everyone, But at the end of the day,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: it is a business where everyone wants to succeed themselves.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: So like that attention, you know what I mean, is
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: always there. I would imagine it's kind of like playing
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: on a you know, NFL roster. It's like, yeah, you
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: want to win, but there's guys who are like, hey,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I want to get my catches, I want to get
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: my tack, you know what I mean.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: Especially receivers are differently Yeah, right, like, yeah, in the
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: position I was in, it's not like, you know, want
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: guys to get hurt, but I just like you understand that, right,
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: you kind of need somebody to go down if you're
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: going to run some opportunity.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: It's a shitty thing to think, but it's also a
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: human nature. Yeah, And you can't you deny it. You
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: can't be like that's not the truth, Like I want,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I want my thing to work.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: And then part of my take was.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Like the part of my takes starting and how quickly
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: it got huge was like insane, Like I we think
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: about it back. We got very lucky at the right
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: time PFT, Like I wanted PFT to come to barstool
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: for like two years before Chrman bought us, but when
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Sherton bought us, we finally had the cash to like
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: woo someone like that. And then part of my take
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: starts and I don't know if I think it's the
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: luck thing where we hit a certain time with podcasting,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: where podcasting started, but it wasn't huge, so there wasn't
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: a million podcasts, and we were the first podcast that
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: it felt like I might someone will probably correctly be like,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: you're an idiot that did all sports and did it
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: the way.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: We did it, like having fun with it, not seeing
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: ourselves too seriously.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Like the coming man type stuff, right, like.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a sports fan, I'm not. I don't fucking know
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: you know the ins and outs of every sport I cover.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I'd watched the game the roof for my teams, and
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: that's what I would tell you, and I see the
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: funny parts.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and what so when part of my take comes
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: and you get PFT overs, that basically how part of
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: my take starts is with you in PFT yeah, or
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: like you and others doing part of my take or
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: you on rundown, like what shows are you doing?
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I was doing rundown in KFC radio, So for what
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I think it was like maybe two years was me
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Kevin and Kevin started km srida himself and he gets
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I mean he David said this too, like the fact
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: that like we didn't do podcasts and till Kevin pushed
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: us to do podcasts, so huge for the company that
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: like it, he changed the company by being like, let's
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: start doing podcasts. So I did KFC Radio with Kevin
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: in fights, and then I did the rundown and then
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I blogged all the time, and it was like KMC
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Radio wasn't really a sports show. We talk about sports,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't like fully sports. So once PFT came on,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: it's like, I have this idea, let's do this show
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: and let's see how it goes. And like I said,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: it was the fact that it hit as quickly as
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: it did, Like I don't know what would happened if
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: it didn't, you.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Know what I mean when you say it hit quickly,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Like how quickly was it?
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Like, Oh, we have traction, we can get the guests
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: we want, Like what did you think to yourself?
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: We call this person, they'll come on the show. It
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: So that was probably about four or five months. The
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: first moment that it really hit was we had we
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: did an interview with Kyle Wilcher, who played at Kentucky
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: and Gonzaga, very good basketball player. He came on before
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the tournament and he told us a story about Adam
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Morrison having an apocalypse punker, and everyone picks us, everyone
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: like yeah, every news story, every news site picked it up.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: They're like, Adam Morrison has an apocalypse punker.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: And that was the first time we're like, oh, fuck
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: like people are listening. And then what was huge was
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Adam Morrison being a really fucking cool guy and agreeing
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: to come on and be like, I don't actually have
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: an apocalypse punker, I just have some guns.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Like it's not that a couple.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Of games lives. Yeah, he lives in like Washington and
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: like in the woods, like not in the woods, but
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: like he lives in a state where it's like, yeah,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: people own guns. So him coming on and being cool
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: about it then propelled it where it was like the
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: idea that we're not trying to burn people, We're trying
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: to have fun with this. And then we had Joe
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Buck and Scott Van Pelt were the other two big
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: ones that summer where it was like, fuck, this is
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: this is awesome, And that was the first time we're like,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I think we can get.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Like most guests because you see so many like people
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: that start podcasts and I'm sure your dams are flooded
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: with Hey I started this podcast?
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Can I come on?
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: But then you go look, I'll like people will DM
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: me and like hey, can you come on my show,
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: and I'll go look at their YouTube and I'll be like,
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: they'll put a podcast out every three weeks, right every month,
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: right like we guys consistently at three immediately to do.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: It right away.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: So the first episode of Part of My Take.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Was a disaster, like total disaster, because.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: We then this goes back to like the evolving thing
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: quickly pivoting off of things that don't work. We started
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: the show and our idea was to tape it in
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the mornings, so like Monday morning at like nine am, we.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Tape it, Hank would edit, it'd be out at like nude.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: We also were trying to do like a very We're like,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: we don't want to be a long podcast or want
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: to be something that people can just listen to, like
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: on their lunch break.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: So we had the idea of doing interviews.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Instead of five good minutes that PTI does, we're gonna
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: do four good minutes.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: That was the dumbest idea ever.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: We had Chris Long on it, and we like we
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: started playing the play it off music like the Oscars music,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: like you know, three and a half minutes in, we
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: hadn't even asked him a question, so we we had
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: like reggaetone like sound effects and shit, it was. It
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: was weird, but we quickly were like this doesn't work,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Like we got to do night, we got to do longer.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: We can't like be cutting off guests, so like that. Yeah,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: the first like week, I remember, people were like this
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: show sucked. And then but we pivoted very quickly and
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: we're like, yeah, three times week. Yeah, people did want
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: us to do five times a week, which would have
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: killed us, and we did like a Saturday show a
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: couple of times, but that one was that was another
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: one where it's like, wait, why are we doing?
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Like three's good? You know what I mean? Like three
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: shows a week.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: You don't need to push it to a point where
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: we're burning ourselves out and burning the listener out, because
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: you guys know it, like when you when you start
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: a podcast and you start something that people are drawn to,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: it's very important to make it accessible that people can
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: listen and feel like they're on the inside of the joke.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: So if you flood them with five six episodes a
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: week now, they're like, wait, I missed an episode?
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: What are they talking about?
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Because it's like, you guys do the same thing where
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a storyline that goes throughout the whole
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: show and it's very important that the listeners feel like
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: they're in on the combo and they're not missing stuff.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: So being like, oh, yeah, here's fifteen hours a week
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: that you got to listen to.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: That's the top Yeah, yeah, to do a job for
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: the conser right right, And then they missed one and
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: they're like, wait, what's that inside joke?
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: I missed the Yeah, and then they slowly just get
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: out of it.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, once you have them missed one, like, it's easier
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: to miss the second one.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: When at what point does Eric have come into the equation?
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: She was hired with the Churning guys, or Dave hired
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: her after Churning came it.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: So it was funny we we had I actually don't
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: know if I've told this, Uh, the so we interviewed
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: a bunch of people. The whole move to New York
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: was like, we're gonna beef it up. We're gonna hire
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: the right staff. We're gonna hire like an all business
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Pete loud Sean is no longer with us, but he's
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: not dead.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: He's no longer at Parcel.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: I said that that.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Sounds like he's dead.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: We interviewed like probably like thirty different CEOs where Dave
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: would interview him in person, and then he passed him
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: off to meet Kevin and Kmarco and we talked to
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: him on the phone and he met Erica hit it
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: off right away. I actually talked to Erica on the phone,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: and I like think that I might like I remember
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: that the Churning guys got mad at me because I
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: like I scared her a little bit about the job
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: because I was My thing was Dave is gonna Dave
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: can sell to anyone, So Dave sits in a room
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: with you, You're gonna be like, yes, I'm in. I
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: remember I was taking the approach of when I talked
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: to these potential ceo is, being like, this is the
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: best job. Here are the like issues with what we
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: have right now, Like we're disorganized, we're kind of like
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: all the shutters throats all the time.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: And I said all this stuff, and then.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I remember I got a call from I think Kurrns
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: after He's like, what the fuck did you say to her?
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because what was Erica saying, like, Hey, I don't
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: know if this is yeah.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe she had like cold feet for a second. She
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: ended up being fine.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, I just was literally saying like, this
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: is not the easiest job in the world. I was
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: trying to be honest, like because I wanted someone.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Like, hey, do you have any clue what you're getting?
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I wanted whoever took the job to not
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: be blindsided.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: And be like, wait, these guys are fucking idiots.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Because we were so I want to be like listen,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: like we don't know what we're doing, like at all,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: and so we need like a lot of help. And
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: she was incredible. I mean, she she changed my life.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, like it's sad that she's she's leaving barstool,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: but she her. Like the entrance of Erica to be
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: that like ying ying and yang of Dave was great
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: because Dave the other guard about Dave, which he's very
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: honest about it. He doesn't want to hear people can
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: play like he doesn't. If you go into Dave's office,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: you're like, I don't I'm not getting enough shot. Shut
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: the fuck up, like go to work. But there is
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: a human nature of working for a company where people
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: can play. And Erica was really good at being able
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: to like internalize those like people who go to Erica
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: and talk to her. She'd be like all right, able
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: to figure it out that type of stuff, right right,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Like that's a big part of it. And I like
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Dave is very honest that he doesn't care about you
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: being heard. So it's like you know what to expect.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: People will still be stunned when they'll be like indeed,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: like why do you do this decision like why do
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: you do this? Or why is he listening to this?
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Like dude, you don't. It worn't for take for a
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: long time. You can't figure it out, like you use
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: use what Dave is to your benefit, Like he is fair.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: He's not going to watch everything. If you do a
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: good job, he will reward you. And know that any
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: complaint that you said to him, he's just not going
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: to care about.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: Not the words of affirmation. Guy, though, you're never going
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: to say a good job. Then there's a clip of
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: you saying like he tested you one time to say people.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah he's I think I got one.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: It was email.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: He was like, good good video that you did. Yeah,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: it was a good blog. And then there was one
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: other time there was a video like that. There's been
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: two times in my career where Date's been like slapped
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: me on the ass, so like you guys probably had
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: coaches like that, who cares. Once you realize it, it's like, Okay,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: I know what to deal with.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: I know that, like I do.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to seek his approval because it's never
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: gonna happen that way, So just figure it out and
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: do it the right way.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: How quickly do you see like turnover in Barstool throughout
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: the years based on people coming from like a Fox
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: or an ESPN or he's more mainstream and then walking
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: into this thinking that they have to be buttoned up.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: We're doing a show like organized, like, hey, we're really
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: just like today we just sat here, right, We're in
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: a conversation that we just pressed recording.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Right. Yeah.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I think there's been some some misses and hires, but
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: I mean everyone we hired.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: We did it with good intentions of like trying to
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: grow the brand.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: But there's people on the outside of Barstool, like in
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: the ESPN Fox world. I think there's this idea that
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: they're like, if I could swear, if I could do
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: it like you guys, I would crush it. And then
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: they get there and they're like, well this is a
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: lot different, Like a lot of the ship we do
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: is like spur of the moment, live off the top
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: of your head, and that is a skill that you
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: have to like get over time.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that that.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: It's definitely had some failures with some of the hires,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: but is you gotta take shots. Yeah, here guys are
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: a success story like that was I mean when we
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: look at like the best hires.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Like you guys are up there. You know it's true though,
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: because you guys got.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: It right away. Somebody say you got it because you
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: just read the PMT play book.
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: But a lot a lot of people say that, a
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: lot of people say that it's good that I love
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: you guys so much because sometimes you be like, dude,
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: they're ripping you off, Like I don't care.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: I love those guys.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: If I didn't like you guys, it would would be mad.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Has there ever been an employee obviously has not here
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: anymore that you just fucking hated h or worst?
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, that would probably be the Michael Rapport was
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: probably the worst sire, which is crazy because they're in
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: a public breakup now, was such well I don't really
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: know the storyline of that, so he got hired. Like
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: the craziest part about the Michael Rapport. Thing is, I
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: actually don't regret the higher Dave and I went out
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: to LA and met with him, and he's like, he
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: was a totally normal guy. He came on PMT I
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: don't know three four times over the course of the year,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: and I will stand on it that those interviews were funny,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Like he was funny, he was good on the mic,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: but something changed in his brain. And he also was
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: one of those guys that like culturally didn't fully fit
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: where he'd come to the office and he would maybe
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: say hello to like me and Kevin and Dave, but
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: not everyone else, and like that rubs people the wrong way.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that was a public breakup that did not
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: go well. But again I don't regret it because you've
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: got to do those you gotta take those shots.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: You know, right, like leaning into leaning into that stuff,
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: which is very uncomfortable for a lot of people.
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: But then you kind of look at the history of
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: Barstool in a lot of those public moments, it ends
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: up coming back around.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: It's it's the best thing that we do is that
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: we're very honest with our fans, and like when we
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: make mistakes, they're public mistakes and people love that because
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: it's showing all of our flaws. Yeah, people love to
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: the negative the positive, right, and they just love to
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, you guys fuck up, you're idiots. Like
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: there was there's a thing that we used to say,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: the Barsenal difference, which is not as funny anymore because
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: there's like a lot of jobs at stake and a
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: lot of money at stake, But the Parsonal difference was
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: always like if we put out a video that we
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: worked really hard on and the sound just didn't work
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: or you know, like the camera was all shaky or like,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: and people like Barsal difference. So like we did the
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Rundown once where we just take an entire rundown with
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: no sound and then we had to redo it and
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: it's like impossible to read this. That's the worst feeling
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: in the world, like trying to tell the jokes again
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: and we're just like, this is fucking And then I
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: think the second one we take, we just said we
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: we started it, we gave it a shot, and then
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: ten minutes they we're like this fucking stupid, like we
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: already take this.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: And then people enjoy.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: That part where they're like, oh, they're being honest, like
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: they can't do it again.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, trying to relive a moment is one of the
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: harder things to do, right, And yeah, like we try
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: to do something, we're like, hey, I'm gonna say this again, right. Yeah.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Well we had that S and P where we had
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: to go reshoot the whole a bar that.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: I was mad about.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, something like that. We know what was
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: the deal.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not mad because you guys are opportunists and you know,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: you know, take advantage of a small, little Jewish man
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: from Long Island when you say hey, here's a camera
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: and he's like.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: I'm in Yeah, Stepp, It's like, Stu, what are you doing?
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: He won Sports Show.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: It's a great show.
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: Him giving the backstro on that show and how Dave
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: used to watch him as a kid. Bring It Back
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: was an awesome clips. He saved his life that he
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: his mouth. He didn't say that.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: We save We saved his life.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: He said he'd come back a whole bunch next year
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: to for some things.
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: So what's fun What's funny about that is is knowing
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: he was going to come on the bus because I
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: listened to him on obviously following you guys with Sports
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: Advisor and everything else. But I listened to him talk
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: on Spin Chigles, It's like, oh, I mean, he's got
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: a nice little story, and so he was planning on
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: coming on and just worked out to where the S
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: and P was act was also happening, and we're very
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: aware of how our show comes off, very advisors like,
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: and so no, no thing.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: That's just I do need to say that too, Like
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: although that like imitation, was it? What's a quote about invitation?
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Like we'll have conversations with Barcel and the higher
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: ups and people be, hey, you should lean into doing this,
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: or you should do that, or we're like, hey, we
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: want to do a gambling show, and they sent in
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: a team to build out what it could look like.
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: It's not like it's not like we just it's not
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: like we just knew that it was gonna be the
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: same exact set. But knowing that Stu was coming in,
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: I was like, we need to really lean into being
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: the whole knockout because everybody we see everybody, Oh, you
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: guys are just taking this round. And since we know
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: we're changing some things for the gambling show going into
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: next year, it's like it would be really funny to
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: really lean into.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Sports perfect.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: It was our best show.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: He said.
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: He gets no dollars. He said he did the deal
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: with Dave. No, no, no, I'll get go ahead, I know
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: I'll go He said he did the deal with Dave,
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: and Dave's like, hey, what do you want to get paid?
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: He's like, I just want to run commercials during the show.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: But that's what he does, I know. And then he's like,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: you don't pay me anything. He's like, stud, you get
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: a fu. You made the deal and you get like
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: a huge audience every single meet for your for your
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: tout service.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: I can't say, mad, it's do I tried, like he
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: called me, He's like mad.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: I was furious.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: And then he like start, I'm so sorry, I'm doing
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: I know he didn't get the best birthday shout out
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: for him.
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I was like, you know, I knew it
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: was a one off, and I knew like all this
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: stuff going into it, and.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: Uh he did. He got but he before the show,
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: he didn't necessarily he didn't say that off.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: You would never give picks. You gotta go like we
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: did a whole show last year. We didn't give a
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: single pick, like actually got mad. I I like, I
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: was like, it would be like, I don't know, pick
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: a game like Bengals Bengals Bills, and he'd be like,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: no pick, goes to fire k dot Com like but
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: he like, if you're ye'll be like if I had
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: your whole all four year kids hostage.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: I was like, you gotta give me a pick. I
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: guess i'd be a bill.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: So then we did the whole graphic of all those
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: leans and he went like oh and seven and he
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: got so mad.
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: Because Jack put up the photo of us doing the
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: show and he was like Hank texting him just being
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: like disappointed.

• 50:57
  Speaker 4: But that is yeah, that's you're a It was way
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: harder than I expected because I was.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Talking you were caught. I was like, I was.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: Doing that for us to maybe build something.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: But yeah, no, that's that's huge. I mean, it's gambling
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: is impossible.
• 51:13

• 51:15
  Speaker 4: another you like this again.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, this will be your best year ever.
• 51:17

• 51:23
  Speaker 1: will come at us and be like, oh, you're you know,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: getting people gams. Like I am the most honest person
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: when it comes to gambling on the internet. Like I'm
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: a loser. I lose, but I love doing it. I
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: love gambling, So like, don't don't follow me, know that,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Like I'm a loser. Know that you shouldn't gamble more
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: than what you have, Like I, yes, I gamble more
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: money than I did ten years ago, but I have
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: more money. Like it's gone up to a point where
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: it's like it's all relative. Like I'm never gambling money.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: That would hurt my family, you know what I mean?
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: Though, you never tell you to slow down, and she's like, hey,
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: you're kind of getting a little out of control of
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: these nuclear.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: No, there's there's a lot of the smart thing I've
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: done is like there's I don't have any access to
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: any of my money.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: So like if my wife got hit by a bus tomorrow.
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: Like I wouldn't. I don't have it.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I don't have a debit card, I don't have anything.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: You just have your account, but I don't even know what.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how to get into my account.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know what my account like, I don't know.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: So but that's but I do that because she can
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: see everything I gamble, and it's like she she will.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Tell me if it's like hey, this is getting a
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: lot of hand.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: But also she gets the freedom of like I've never asked,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Like I got couches that God knows what they cost
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: my house, like I never I don't know. So it's
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: like she can she manages the money. It's like we're good,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: I'll gamble. I'm good.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: We'll just keep it like that.
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: So you don't look at like you're you get to April,
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: you're looking at the taxes and you see all the losses.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: And you don't say I'm gonna take X amount of
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: dollars per year and then that's what I'm gonna gamble with.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: You just hit them.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: No, it's usually just whatever I run out, I'm like, hey,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: ran out again?
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: Back up, walking over here.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: It's basically My gambling career is basically how like can
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: I last like more than like three or four months
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: of having to load back up?
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: That's successful me?
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: That is.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like I the start of the football season was bad.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: I think I I think I like did a big
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: deposit in August and then I had to re up
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: in like October.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: But then I made it from my October to like
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: mid January.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Is like, that was coach.
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know how.
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know how public you are with what you
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: bet on nuclear missile whale players and all that.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: We don't have to get into.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: It, but when did When were you like, man, I
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: can really start doing putting in that make me sweat
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: my ead?
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, that was probably the last like two years
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: or so, maybe three years where I've been like okay,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: like this is fun every now and then. Nuclear missile
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: whale players are usually between thirty and forty thousand dollars
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: and then and then that, and that makes me sweat
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: came in the years or like fifty but I lost
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: a couple of those, and that doesn't you don't get
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: those back.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't get those got no, no, no, no no.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: But yeah, when I say that, that's usually.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: What I'm betting. So when Michigan Alabama goes down and
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: you and I are, you and I were texting.
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: About who you're rooting for and all that, and you
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: were very much like, I just want mission to win
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: it strictly for day. Yeah, which hurt a little bit
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: because we're friends, but yeah, we are understanding, Like Dave,
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: like that amount of money like that, it's a once
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: in a lifetime best.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've been a million dollars in the game, and like,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: like I said, Dave and I've been gambling for a
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: very long time where I've seen his units go up
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: and my units go up at the same time.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: Where it's like when he says I'm betting a million dollars,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: like there's.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: A gambling brotherhood behind it, where it's like I don't
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: like unless he's going against my team, like I'm rooting for,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: I want him to win because that's that's a bit
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: of a lifetime. Say he was rooting really hard for
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: me to win that Eagles feature last year. It's like
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: that of a lifetime.
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: That hurt.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: That hurts.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: It hurt a lot. Pastrick Hopes keeps kicking my teeth.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: And what do you think happens to Dave? How do
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: you think Dave handles it?
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: If Michigan loves the Alabama, he would have been very
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: down for a very long time.
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be bad.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: He's when he wins, it's the he's the best to
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: be on this Like he I'm kind of similar where
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: it's like if I'm hot, like everyone's getting money, everyone's
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: getting FOOTBA Football show years ago, and that's a problem.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't have my bank account because if
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: I have money in my pocket, I'm just gonna hand
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: it out to you like a fucking idiot. Like I
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: do that all the time, where I'm like, what did
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I just do so? But it's I don't know. It's
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: that's the fun part of gambling. Like if I'm hot,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: I want everyone else to be hot, like I want
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: I want to gamble together.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: I want us to win together in Comraader.
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, fun there's a small, like maybe selfish side of
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: you that's like I want everyone else to be excited
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: about this too.
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're kind of like, hey take this well, Hey,
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: I'm great with you. Root for this. Yeah you got this?
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: Like so yeah, I mean and and I know that
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: that's a stupid way like pro pro gamblers, Like.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: You're the dumbest person in the world.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: I understand that because like money management and all that stuff.
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: But again, I if I don't get over my means.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna do it my way where he's like,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: I want everyone to feel that moment together.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: That's why we're selling. Will you gotta come to like
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: for for March madness, Like that's the best.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: When we just sit in that cave for four days
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: and just game on every gage, the just fight it
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: wars with your boys and you're just fucking like everyone
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: get on one bed, like let's fucking go.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: There's nothing, there's no better.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: For those Thursday night streams are fun when every buddy
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: like we hit the parlay together.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: Checking our phones over and over again. What's that guy's name?
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: Reggie Gillam the tight End.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: I tried to get everyone on the bills.
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: Bill's white guy. I think, right, yeah, we never saw.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Line goal line goal line, never personnel in the never
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: was never one.
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: When you when you distribute the wealth like that when
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: you're really giving it to other people.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: And Jerry pulls a move like Raven his future heard
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: at the Bill's future, Bill's future like where's you guys relationship.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Saying that now we're okay now he he Jerry sometimes
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: forgets that like even though I have money, losing money
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: stale hurts a lot, Like that's just a fact, like
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: no one wants to lose. So he was playing with
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: fire there. I've forgiven him. He was upset. It was
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: the day before Steelers Bills. I think we all bet
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: Ryan Shakir to score a touchdown and he scored a
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: touchdown and we all like went crazy and he just
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: walked off the stream because it was like there was
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: the Steelers going down fourteen ye.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: So like that was that was the villain origin story
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: That was the arc.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: That's where he became.
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: Like the joker with the with barcela Q in Chicago Outsider,
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: were you how excited were you in the moment where
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: it starting to come into fruition that there was going
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: to be a Barcela in Chicago.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: It was the big move was gonna take place. Yeah,
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: it was awesome.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: And then looking at the spaces, like Hank and I
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: went out it was probably about sixteen months ago to
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: look at all these spaces and like just seeing the spaces.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: For the first time was.
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: Like fuck, man, Like this is really going to be
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: everything like we wanted.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: And it's just I think I've set up a spot
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: where people just genuinely want to go to work every
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: day because I don't want to get into the hole
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: not working on Fridays. The New York office, I know
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: they went through it. Barstool works at its best when
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: people show up and like every day you're in the mix,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: you're in the grind. That's where the like beauty comes from,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: that's where the content comes from. So building a spot
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: like that where people want to come every day and
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: incentivize them to come every day is everything I wanted
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: because then you get the buzz, you get the people around,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: you get the ideas flowing.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: That's it, that's the juice.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Like, that's what the first when we first moved to
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: New York, We're all stuck in this little office together
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: some people would probably say that's probably their favorite era
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: of barstool because it was every day everyone just sitting
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: on top of each other, like at each other's throats,
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: everybody's storyline.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Right right exactly, and then you see it all in
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: this reality show.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: And I know that there's a little bit like the
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: Chicago office maybe a little bit different that, Like I've
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: never been I embraced the barstool drama, but I'm never
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: out to try to like create the barstool drama. If
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: it happens, it's awesome. So there might be a little
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: bit of a different vibe in Chicago where it's like
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: we're pulling for each other a little bit, and that's
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: more just how I've always operated. And it's also like
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: I've told everyone's solely sitting right here. I told I
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: give you pretty much everyone a speech who was coming
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: to Chicago is like, look, I have, let's say five
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: to seven more years of me like working at this pace.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: I want to get to a point in five to
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: seven years where like everyone who's come with me has
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: elevated to a point where I don't have to work
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: that hard and everyone's like kind.
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: Of a star on their own.
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: So like that's the end goal and that's what That's
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: how I kind of try to lead.
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: What does your work look like after those five to
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: seven years.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: I think it would be doing PMT, but maybe I
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a hard thing I wrestle with because like
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: I love my job so much that, like I say, I.
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: Want to step back, but do I? I don't know.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: You see something going on, you're kind of like that's
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: the itch that you If you don't have that itch,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: then you like that's what Like I know Dave watches
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: us in Chicago when we're doing like streams and stuff
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: like the Jerry stream golf. I know Dave deep down
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: wants to eat it. Like I know he's he's like
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: enjoying his life, but I know, deep down he wants
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: to be there because he and I are wired the
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: same where it's like if there's action, we want in
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: and like having that feeling is what motivates you.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: To be Like I want to be part of someone
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: do this? Yeah, how do you find the fulfillment?
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 5: Though?
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: When you do this, have a step away.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: I'll be like, Okay, I'm finally going to we have
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: the cerevision in Montana's like we're kind of in more
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: in Bozeman, Like how do people just being the life
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: waring right now thinking about going to live in like
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: a Bozeman, Montana anchors out of a city, out of
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: like the hustle and bustle, Like where do you find
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: right that area to be Like.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, I present, yeah, right, I don't know.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: I don't really answer to it. Partly, I kind of
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: hope that and it will suck if this happens, but
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: I'm realistic about it, like the game Retiring you kind
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: of thing where it's like the be a point like
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: like you're fifty years old.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: I don't care what you're saying.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully I have fifty years old or something. Hopefully
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: I have a self awareness to realize that before it happens,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: and then I can be like, all right, I'm.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: Not that'd be a tough couple of years where everyone
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: kind of sees, you know, like yeah, he's losing yeah, yeah,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: yeah yeah. That is One of the more impressive things
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: about Dan is your ability for recall and staying like
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: remembering things like like when we were in the gag
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: last time I was in Chicago and then magicians are
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: He's like you a good liar.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know, and you're like, well.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: Tell them at the time, but I'm thinking my only
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: thought was like, how does he fucking just have that right.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 7: There in the back of his palm? And then what
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 7: I'm not you know what, I'm just that was fun camera.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah you love Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: It's such a trying time.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: Happy that we were able to make worse.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The answer, I don't know, it's hopefully will hopefully
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: we'll click, Hopefully that moment will happen wrong, just like
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: all right, it's good because I mean I think it
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: kind of happened for David. I mean, he's still Dave
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: is the model where it's like he doesn't work the
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: same hours he used to work, but he does the
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: things he wants to do, and he's in the mix
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: for the March madness, for the super.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: Bowl for that time, and then everything he does do
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: has like a more of a bum there because Dave's part.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: Which David, yeah, part of every time he's on anything, but.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: The fact that it's less like less uh less supply.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: Of yeah, more elevator, He's like, oil, I don't know,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: I know, we only have a couple of minutes left.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: We uh, we do the analytics. Some analytics. Analytics we
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: can talk about. I feel like, okay, okay, analytics, I
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: mean analytic kind of burn you know, the Lions not really. Yeah,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't have I don't. I think the Lions fucked up.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: They should have absolutely, just we'll save it. We'll say, yeah,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: I have stats for you you can show. Yeah, now
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: the down fourteen, gotta go for two.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 5: I think that's hang on out what I wanted to
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: get for the last genius.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: No, okay, I think I don't think you.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: Go for it again. I'm gonna we're gonna sit down
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: and get a piece of paper. I still don't think.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: If we're gonna if we're gonna wait on hold, because
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: that's what he'll go back. I still don't, you know,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: think that you understand the rivalry between Chicago and New York.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 5: Yes, as the leader of Barstool Chicago, why are you
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: guys better? It's been such a one of those class
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 5: comfortable conversations that bull sides try to lean into.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: It sucks lean to, but also not.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: I don't like leaning into it because it sucks because
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: I and people have heard me say this, and they're
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: like Oh, you're like you're saying this because you guys
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: are on top right now.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: Whatever.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: I we still do work for the same company. Like
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: if New York failed, it would be very bad for me,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's like, and I'm
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out how like Fights was in Chicago
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: for a few days last week, it's awesome, Like trying
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: to get it so that people feel like they're you know,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: feel comfortable coming to our office for a couple of
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: days and like mixing it up. Yeah, I mean, that's
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: that's why we have the best fans in the world
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: because they care so much, and so if they see
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: something like a rivalry, they're like, we're gonna hammer it,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: like I liken.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: It to a million times.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Like the like, if you're a fan of a team,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: if you say your coach sucks or your quarterback sucks,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you don't like your team. You're just
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: complaining about what's going on with the team right now.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: So it's like, not I never see like the fans
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: saying like, oh, New York sucks, really being like these
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: guys aren't fans, They're just passionate fans that care a
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: lot and they're invested a lot.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: I hope it works out.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: I hope, I hope they kind of they've had a
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: little bit of a rocky couple of months, but they'll
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: find it. I mean, you just keep grinding. That's the
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: thing is like, that's I think it's too is. I
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: think the difference that people are gonna have to realize
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: is like we in Chicago are going to probably put
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: out more day to day, like every day, here's content,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: here's live streams, whereas New York it might be more
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: tape stuff that is still really good, but it just
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't have the volume. So it's not like like New
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: York is still doing great stuff. It's just maybe is
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: in the same volume in Chicago, but we are more
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: of like live going live all the time.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: The numbers are going to be skewed, right because you
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: have something every single day, correct, right, Like last week
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: we did like handball. One day Berman came in, we
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: did a stream with him, like all these things, the
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: Jerry after Dark stream, we just do.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: We're doing it. That was one of the dumbest ideas.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: How long did that take?
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: Six hours?
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: It was you had to be an hour, Like goddamn.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: Dude, I was we couldn't find the first needle for
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: the first thirty minutes. I was like, what the fuck
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: are we doing?
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: Birthday? Yeah, birthday still pf every birthday and go home.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did the kiss and went home.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: How do you how many guys have you kissed? Because
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: there was a whole Yeah, which he's rather kissed your leg.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean kissing. You don't kiss your bros.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: I mean I have.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: What bro then bringing back the word gay a lot,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: Like that's a great, it's really hammering.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: It's really got to it's coming back. You're playing.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it because every time I see you
