So that's about 13 years ago.
And Portnoy came over and filmed a video with her, which is still their biggest YouTube video ever.
And Barstool Sports, interesting story.
Like they just started as like a newsletter.
Like they would make, you know, like funny, degenerate betting newsletters and put them at the bars in Boston.
You would like, you know, they had the smoke show of the day on the cover and to watch him, what he's done and who he's become is, is great.

I'm proud of that.
I mean, people are like, the world moves so fast.
Like people forget Dave Portnoy sold his company for hundreds of millions of dollars and bought it back for a dollar.
No one's ever done that.
how crazy this legendary.
Yeah.
I mean, it's also luck, you know, Penn got in this position where like ESPN, Disney said to them, Hey, we're going to work with you on the sports betting stuff, but like you cannot be associated with Barstool.
They was like, the fuck does that mean?
and like somehow got to buy his company back for a fucking dollar crazy it's incredible one of the goats you want to sell this thing one day I'd imagine listen actually I've never woken up and even thought of that possibility wow really I swear like I think companies probably only get bought when like you don't need to be bought because like you've got such a good thing somebody like wants it or it's in some vertical you know sure that would be cool I guess but
I started this thing from zero.

Remember, I thought it was going to last six months.
