All right, Big Bang is the day part of our show with Eddie Company presented by Trade Zero. That's right, Dave, we have a new presenting sponsor.

Yeah, and these guys have been with me for a while. So it's who I used for DTG. They've been great. I got kicked off of ETrade because I couldn't handle my volume and my breaks like. E-Trade would crash all the time, I go ballistic because doing a live stream, I was losing wind and whatever, so they actually kicked me off trade zero swooped in and they've been great ever since.

You know, finally, if I can make it personal, because I have been using Trade Zero for the last six months or whatever, and I have no complaints about it and zero complaints, the only thing it took me a while to get used to the flashing lights and in the new platform, but once it's one or two days that it's built for people who really want to trade.

So I'm glad they're coming on board. Trade zero DOT. UC Davis can get three months of the pro trading package for free, which is 177 dollar value, initial account minimum, 2500 bucks.

And again, it's built for people on trade. E-Trade is built for shlubs who like put five bucks in. And if the thing breaks, you can't complain. If you're actually trading any degree of real money, like 2500 dollars, you had to go something more serious. Trade zero again, trade zero US.

All right. So here and give a good read to. Yeah that was, that was Dave. That was, that was a beautiful read on here. So while we're here stock stuff, it's pretty quiet week actually. You haven't tweeted much in Miami and whatnot, so we'll stick with this. The big thing.

Well, I haven't been in Miami very long, Eddie. I was in New York. I just got here like yesterday. Oh, really?

I thought you went on like Friday or Thursday. No, no. OK, sorry. So regardless, it's been a pretty quiet week since last show, but the big news was, everyone, you change your profile picture. Yeah. Like, what the fuck are you doing to get rid of the mug shot? That's got to be big.

That'll come back. The mug shot will clearly come back. So what's so what's the deal, Buzz? I saw the press conference.

Yeah. So I got approached.

I don't know the exact time. Maybe like six months ago. And I'm kind of sort of like a novice still and my understanding of the stock market and whatnot. But these guys approach me and make sense. I'll dumb it down how it made sense to me. They created an algorithm like the smart guys, like scientist type guys, and it basically scraped social media to find the most positive sentiment on stocks.

So, you know, if I'm talking about a stock or it's on Wall Street bets or it's on stock to it's basically, you know, anything and it tries to find the stocks that are most positively being talked about and groups them together in something called an ETF. Did you know what an ETF was? No, I did not.

So I thought of it sort of like a mutual fund in a way, an ETF. It's the symbol for the stock, which launches Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange.

Is Busey's in that one?

You buy that you're actually buying like 75 stocks in one.

So it's this group in the group is the most positively talked stocks, according to this algorithm, on a monthly basis. And it switches it up. So I got approached. It had been invented a while ago. Obviously, this year has been like totally different for the stock market in terms of the amount of social activity and stocks going up based on it. They became or thought of me. Pen appeared in their algorithm and I go look at Penn.

They looked at me like this could be what we needed, somebody to kind of the face of it. They gave me an ownership stake in it.

So that's what it is. Does that make sense?

So I think, yeah, it absolutely makes sense. It's kind of like the new age way to kind of see what people are talking about and get right on that.

Yeah, it's not as I've seen some of it, it probably doesn't have the same upside as like upended. It doesn't have the risk. It's a more, you know, because it's the aggregate of basically seventy five as I understand.

Seventy five stocks. You're not buying one.

And I saw that there, there's maybe some confusion, there's a B then there's a B which just be you Z.

Yeah. My parents told me about abuse and I'm going on this.

Yeah I is B you just Buzz Lightyear. Correct. Because I know just just there is Buzi, that's a Canadian pharmacy company where the only be used. Yes.

OK. All right. Now I'm kind of more interested from the back end where what it takes for you to buy in to someone to come up to you and be like, hey, we got this new thing like, who are these dudes? How did you meet them? How did this come together?

So I had a connection to one of the guys. A close enough connection where I had known him for a while, trusted him and would listen to what he said, he's somebody I met in Miami, actually, and he was connected in the financial world. So like this this thing is partnered with a company called Vannak, which is a huge ETF firm.

So it's not like some rinky dink operation.

And the thought is, hey, Vannak can go get institutional money. I can go get retail money poured into this ETF and and make it big. I you know, who knows it. The thought process, it all made sense to me, like the I the algorithm seemed I looked at when they appeared, I'm like, let me see what stocks are in, you know, this index, the seventy five. And it was bang, bang, bang, bang.

Like all the stocks I'd been talking about, it's like, OK, the algorithm is, is, is right. Like it sees what I'm from my perspective, it's working.

Those are the stocks that I'd want in it for the most part. And then the van logit and it made sense. Like I don't grant that this year has been unusual with covid, but I don't think the amount of social chatter on stocks is going anywhere. So some it's always one of things.

Yes, somebody is going to do that like this makes perfect sense. There's there should be an ETF based on positive social chatter on the Internet. And by the way, who's kind of like the face of that at least was until Roarin Kitty showed up me DTG I want to call it DTG I want that to be the stock symbol that got shot down. And we went with Buzz. I don't know if we could have done it that way.

They were giving me some mumbo jumbo about the SEC and whatnot. So I was like, whatever buzz works.

But yeah, it just seemed like a perfect marriage, an idea that made sense. I don't do many of them. I'm very selective. There's a couple more coming down the road probably in the next year or so. Not financial, but other projects. But yeah, this made sense. It just is something that clicked.

Once I understood it, I didn't I was like, yeah, I'm in it fast. Fast.

And when did this person approach you? Maybe six months ago. OK, so this has kind of been in the works. I had to do a lot. So the first thing I did was like, yes, I think this can work. And then I'm like, give me all the paperwork, give me everything. I'm sending it to Pen. I'm sending it to Erica. I want everyone to look at this and know what the fuck it is.

And if there's even an ounce of, like, conflict of interest, you can't say this. You can't do that. It's like I'm out. Like, I need to know I'm totally green lit and can do what I do, which is promote it, you know, under the same guys as like how I do pen like. Yeah, I think it's great. I would invest in it, but I can't promise, you know, it goes up or whatever.

But once I had the sign off from everybody that, Yeah, Dave, you can do this, I'm like, OK, I'm doing it.

OK, now is this person going to come more, more public? Kind of like how Kearns's and kind of like how Jay Snowden is? Because that's fascinating to me, because, like you said, just to get your ear and to have you like somewhat interesting is the person who who approached me with it.

Yeah, because like Mike Kemel. OK, so this is it's like fun.

He's not like he was kind of the matchmaker and put it he's connected. But I've known him for now a couple of years in Miami.

Straight up guy. Nice guy, smart guy. So I know he's not bringing an idea to me that's like garbage now.

Doesn't mean I have to do it. But if somebody that I trust comes to me like, hey, I have a good idea, obviously going to listen. This wasn't somebody who was cold calling me. I had a relationship with him, OK? And it wasn't like he was pitching me ideas in the past.

You know, he's a reputable guy for sure, because, I mean, you get so much shit. Yeah. And that's like how did you get to the point where and like like obviously on a much lower scale, I think other basketball players get a bunch of shit thrown our directions. But I don't you get to that point where you're like, I could actually, you know, run with this because there's so much that comes through the fucking through the filter, you know what I mean?

Yeah, it's all gut feel. It really is just gut feel. It's like I need big upside obviously, or else it's not worth my time, but it's just gut feel.

Again, I trust Mike. He's not throwing a ton of ideas at me.

He's got a proven track record of success in his own right. It just was right time. Right place. I think anybody looking at this from the outside and what's going on in the stock market and stuff like, oh yeah, that it like. Did you watch the video? Yeah, I did. So what's your like, gut reaction to me? I watched like yeah that makes sense like that. It just. Oh yeah. Of course that it kind of had that vibe to me like yeah of course that makes sense.

Yeah.

It seems like something someone's going to do and then just basically where you are with like it was almost a perfect storm with how DTG came together last.

Korona And then now this is here, especially with all the GameStop shit. So yeah.

And my my biggest fear with all of not fear unselective like and some people you do know, you don't whatever.

I feel like almost my biggest value right now or currency is credibility. Like basically everything I've touched has worked.

So I'm not going to go into something that I'm not confident it is going to work. I there's not a part of me that thinks this won't work.

Now, if somehow the stock market crashes or something changes, nobody is going to be winning like this doesn't short. So, you know, it's a little different in pen because I don't actually have the physical like pen I will drag to the finish line.

I don't care what happens. We're going to the finish line. We're going the moon is coming. This one. I don't have that same zone algorithm doing it, but I believe in it. But that there is that that was the only, if I would say slight hesitation, like, well, you know, if something changes with PEN or the environment, I can react directly and counter balance that.

I can't do that with this. Yeah. That's a good point, because you really hang your hat on where people could say whatever the fuck they want about you, but at the same time you've been successful with pretty much everything you've done.

Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't tell people or put my name on things that that I truly don't believe will be successful and luckily so far everything's kind of been successful.

Now, what are you going to have to do, like day in and day out? It's just part of the streams, is it? Yeah, nothing is. Just promote it and let people know, like, you know, casually. But once it's out, it's out.

But there's no ongoing, you know, beating the drum, maybe occasionally will, you know, like shareholder meetings or things like that.

But it it won't it's an algorithm. It's just letting people know it exists.

So there's no worry where it's like, you know, a hardcore basketball fan right now. Oh, no. Dave's kind of getting pulled away a little bit.

He's you know, he's so he's he's really on the gaming side now. He's going to be doing this like there's nothing to worry about as far as that goes.

No. I mean, you know. It the people who would be worried about that, this won't be the thing that changes it, it's much more you know, I'm more in Miami more often than not, but this singularly won't change anything. No. And I also believe so.

This is a day port. And I venture this has nothing to do with barstool.

Well, barstools in it, but it's a Dave Portnoy is in it as well.

OK, so it is. It does it is a company thing almost because there's a little intersection. Yes. Gotcha.

So in a way though, it's kind of the first of its kind, I guess, where this is really your first big. I guess I can't say so often because you just have barstools and a little bit, but but yeah, no, yeah, it it is one of the first that. That I have, like, private stuff and, yeah, I'd say so. OK, interesting, I'm interested. And they said it goes live Thursday, Thursday, 9:00 a.m. I think I'm virtually ringing the bell because they're not doing it in person.

But I believe I'm virtually ringing the bell in New York Stock Exchange, which as I said this morning on DTG, for those keeping score at home, that means I've rang the bell on the Nasdaq in New York Stock Exchange.

Let's hope it's let's hope it's better this time around. The last time. Seriously?

Yeah. Worst day in history, the stock market.

I don't remember seeing a 400 point loss on the Nasdaq in a long time, but we are there.

All right. Besides that, a couple more stock things here. You went head to head with Vlad, I think, like hours after we recorded last week. Thoughts on that? Anything there? Yeah, so. Right, we did go after. Because that's what I want to do, it, you know, it's a little obviously it feels like a while ago now at this point. I really thought there was criminal activity with him involved. I don't know if I believe that anymore.

I still do believe maybe someone leaned on or not. Everything's above the board. And if you subpoenaed all the phone records, you'd find something.

Probably one thing that was I've said in the past and he wants to actually donate.

I think he wants to be like friends. He wants to donate to the barstool fund.

But I've said this, sticking with the stocks, I kept saying, why don't you freeze the prices, buying and selling? And he didn't answer that during the interview, but he hit me up after with his answer, as did a million people. It's like, well, and this was just me not knowing enough or thinking big picture.

If he froze both buying and selling people on other platforms, E-Trade, Ameritrade, whatever, could have still sold or traded GameStop.

And if the stock plummeted and you want Robin Hood and couldn't sell it, I could see how that would have been a major issue. The only people who can actually stop the trading is like the actual stock market, like freeze it everywhere across the exchanges, which they should have done.

But I also think Eveillard proactively reached out to the like the other people and was like, hey, we're going to freeze it, you guys freeze it, everyone, and frozen it. So it was an obvious answer he should have given, I still think. It should be frozen everywhere, but I understand why it couldn't just be Robin Hood. She came out of it respecting him, liking him. I won't say liking him.

I don't know about respect. He just felt like.

They screwed up bad and his PR. I don't know, it's strange, it's like I don't know, he has final say he seemed unprepared for some of the questions and not a great. PR spokesman maybe is good, like you didn't come across as slick, you know, he came across as unprepared a little bit for what happened during the taco Tuesday at.

I didn't think that you realize it at the time. Well, he said what it was, but, yeah, I didn't put together. Is he doing that because of the LeBron he knows?

I don't like LeBron. I wasn't sure.

I mean, they they fucked up. And overall, I think coming out of that, his biggest thing, which I don't think they ever did a great job, was really like.

Every answer he gave was firm, first firm, second firm, third, like customer eighth, and I get if the firm collapses, the customers get hurt, but it just.

It should have been customer, customer, customer, customer, because lots of customers got smoked and it was kind of a weird couple days for you, as you said you were, until you got duped by a fake Robinhood account. All the credit stocks were fucking smashed in and you weren't there. So it was it was something. Before we continue, Dave, I want to talk about can I project we've had these guys before.

These guys got some heavy duty, real shit. OK, can I probe Kroger? That makes the finest backpack's in the world and no one else even comes close for military style packs to hipster everyday carry bags. Can I has a pack or back to fit any one of your needs? You can go outdoors, you can go to the office. Well, when you go to the office can obviously. So can I procure it has every pack you need.

You can enjoy superior craftsmanship and customer service with a company that actually gives a shit about its customers and all. Can I backpack packs and bags come with a lifetime warranty and right now Can I is offering free U.S. shipping on orders over 75 bucks. Candy has been all used all over the world and has confirmed first hand stories of their backpacks serving effectively an active war zones with members of the U.S. military and the primary PACs of the special operations wing of the Secret Service.

What what's the promo code there, Dave? Do you have it in front of you? Yeah, I got it.

Hey, buddy, that's a Steve Chaney reference. Fifteen percent off. Give a follow up.

Can I progressiva and a project. I'll be on the line that caught me in this read. They have military style packs, the hipster packs. That's quite a range.

Yeah, that's that's a big range. So go get your backpack. Hey buddy. Fifteen percent. I'd like to set or follow him on Twitter, CNN apro here. Other stuff, Dave, you announced last night caught some buzz that you will run for president.

Well, that yeah. Listen, I'm on some like political I'm on some political survey like who's going to be the next Republican candidate? And I'm on it, but I have zero percent.

So it's almost like someone's just trolling me in. What I said is true. I don't want to be on any lists where I have zero percent. Why am I even on the list of five zero percent?

Well, you know what they're doing. It's the same way. It's all the time. You know, it's like who's going to be the head coach for this team? And then they'll throw in, like, you know who I'm fucking Bill Cowher, you know, it's like, well, he has a coach forever, but you got to throw him on there because it's going to make the odd spicier, you know.

But but I think this is actual like people are they put a list and people are actually voting. I think I think it's a real.

But if I'm getting zero, take me off the list. I look like an asshole on this list was zero percent. So that's what I said. I said fine. And then someone just tweeted, they're like, if you say you're running, it'll boost you up. So I was like, all right, fuck it, I'm running. But if I don't get to one percent and Passover, I'm tied with zero percent, then I'm out and take me off the list.

I hate that I even have to ask this.

And you might be a fucking idiot and people might say that, but are you actually running? What do you mean? Well, listen, you never fucking know nowadays, and if you wanted to do it, I could see you doing something that you ran for fucking mayor of Boston. But are you just messing around? Like, are you going to throw something together here? And, you know, I'll see if I get to it.

We'll see if I get the one percent. OK, so if you get to one percent, then what? I'm staying in the race.

If I, if I get the one percent OK, then what if what if it gets a like for like well your ears perk up and you'll do a little more or what.

I would never want to be president but you know it the.

I would love to be in a presidential debate. That'll be fun. Very awesome. I don't know if you get to a certain percent, do they have to include you?

That's a good question. I can't say I can't tell you if someone laid it out now, like if you can get to like six percent, they have to include you in a presidential debate, then I would do it and I would make a mockery of it.

So it's not to push to win and be the president because you don't want that. It's a push to be involved in the debate.

Yeah. Who the fuck would want to be president? I mean, I love him or hate him. Trump he wasn't like a hated guy before he became president. Right. He was like a rich guy in The Apprentice.

Now he's like, fucking people hate him. Who wants that? I don't want to be hated like that.

Dude, I. I completely agree with you. It's fucking crazy. Like, he had, like, a nice life, I'm sure, before.

Yeah. Right now. Like, no thanks. Fuck that.

Fuck that is right. Do you have any, any, any brief thoughts, any early thoughts on a cabinet.

I haven't given that much thought. No I listen before we start thinking cabinet we usually get the one percent. I still don't know what that means.

Zero. I have zero votes are just throwing me on there for the hell of it. Like did, did I do something that got me on that list?

I know I could be wrong, but I want to say I saw somewhere I can't I can't recall exactly where that someone actually, like, did an application for you to to, like, be serious, seriously run. I don't know why I'm on that list. You mean maybe maybe because it's like there is like a group of maybe Republicans or and whatnot who are like, hey, this is our guy.

What would be crazy? So the guy I'm tied with zero percent. I guess he's like a real politician guy like what do you think?

And then if you're like tied with me for zero hour, I guess he's going to start a fucking blog.

And then and I didn't it didn't sit right with me being on that list at zero percent. Like it's like, oh, I look like a fucking schmo.

I mean, now we're I guess we're waiting with bated breath to see with what the poll who's voting like.

I mean, who votes in these polls. Dude, I don't get any of that shit. It's like, what's that Nate Silver guy who does the who's Nate Silver or does he do the what's the zero five three eight?

And he does like the projections of the caucus zero five three. I don't know what you're talking about. You know, I'm saying like the bullshit. No, I know, Dave. The pre polls, they do when it's over.

I usually like the analytics guy who was like so sure that, like, I'm pretty sure his his algorithm had like Hillary winning in a landslide and things went haywire.

I don't know.

It's just whatever it's the pre, it's a pre the pre polls to the whatever.

I mean it's very premature. It is like the second half of the NFL draft is over being like, here's your draft class next year. It's like the election just happened.

Yeah. How was last week in the office? It was fine, nothing unusual. No. I like Miami's weather more, but it was not bad to be back and be back in my apartment forever. I got a new couch, so Spider helped me let the people in and I told him and Kareem they could take my old couches. I don't know who needed it, but I also no one even knows, as Ivan said, and whatever it is, what it is.

But I bought a brand new like footstool for the middle of the thing was probably like five, six bucks. And they just took that, too.

So I think there was some miscommunication there. But yeah, the spider's gone. I got a new couch. I lost the footstool.

Spider scooped your ottoman. Yeah, the ottoman.

That's exactly it's gone. It's like a nice leather like Kareem. I think Kareem was on here. I don't know if he could pipe up real quick to see where to see where the Ottoman is.

Yes, I thought I thought Dave wanted that out of his apartment, too.

So we did take that. But where it live right now? It's in my apartment. Tyler Odey took all of it.

But I bet it looks good. It was expensive.

You want it back home?

I mean, it's like, no, I wasn't gonna say nothing, but now I feel like I have to come bring it back today. I'm in Miami.

I mean, it's nice to have it back. I got, like, nothing. I'm just like floppy in the middle of the apartment, but.

All right. Well, we'll get it back for you. Where does it match the new couch? Yeah. Was bought together. Oh. So then you definitely need it.

It's a different brown. It's brown. But I mean, they were bought together. It's like, OK, I have these old couches, I have this gross ottoman. So I bought a new ottoman and new couch and the Ottoman showed up first the couch showed up second and then the couch showed up in the ottoman was gone.

But I knew there was confusion. I knew it wasn't in I knew it wasn't a serious case of theft.

You know, there was nothing like that where Spider was just like, here's my opportunity. Yeah. If I'm going to steal anything from Dave, it's going to be this.

I've been eyeing that ottoman for. Yeah, yeah.

No, yeah. But like I said, it was a pretty quiet week for Twitter. You just take a little break or nothing going on or.

Yeah. I don't know, I didn't, I didn't feel like it was overly. I mean, I was around in New York, right? I felt like I was tweeting normally. Yeah, it wasn't intentional. You did tweet, I saw you tweeted a little hot dog Chicago flag sweater. What do you think of that design? That was nice. I liked it was almost like the drive in thing.

Yeah, it's a graffiti artist we have who makes designs as fire. So we're just waiting. We've already said it very clearly for Basel Sportsbook. Illinois is the next state. We're waiting on the official dates, but I plan on being there soon. Very soon.

What a for a couple of weeks or what's your plan?

Yeah, well, we've got to get the exact date, right. So I'll be there when we launch and then we'll look at March Madness. I probably will be there for that. But we need the dates.

We're just waiting on the dates.

You want to shop on my basketball team? When you say it like that, am I going to get any run? Yeah, no, you'll get in. Yes, yes. Yeah, OK, I'll play. Yeah, I'll play. All right. Tuesday night. Yeah, Tuesday night we play. OK, tough league.

The tough league. Yeah. Yeah, that's I've only played.

That's just roll the balls as close to the other balls right.

Yeah. Pauline, all the small balls called the polling all day. If you got to get the big balls and get closer to it. OK, it's fucking tough man. There's some good guys in there. I'm sure there are. All right. Besides that, did you.

Oh, a lot of people are interested. Did you. What's up with your watch?

A lot of people are taking a liking or an interest in your watch. You're not wearing it today, but you've learned a lot.

It was given to me in Detroit and I do like it. I'm not a watch guy and I've purposely not been mentioning it because I told sales are sales and I'm trying to be a team guy like, hey, I like this watch.

I'm wearing it because I like it. And I think I could help make this a big brand or bigger than it already is and add value. So why don't we try to craft a relationship with something that I actually believe in and would wear so that I haven't said it because I'd like the relationship to happen. I don't know where it is right now.

Interesting, because that was a popular question. People like, hey, Dave's not a typical jeweler guy. He barely wears watches. What's going on?

Yeah, I haven't worn a watch. I've told the story a million times when I sold barstool the first time to turn in, I'm like, it's really kind of the first time I had any degree of money. And I was like, I need to buy myself a present. It's like, I don't know. Fourteen years of my life work and I just sold half of it. I need to commemorate it. And I was going to buy a Rolex and I went looked Rolex is like fifty grand.

They can be upwards whatever. I got right to the point of buying it and like what the fuck am I doing. I don't wear watches the stupid and I bought the yellow bronco which doesn't run instead.

That was my gift to myself. So maybe you should have gone with the Rolex, huh? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's like a watch is a critical component if you're wearing a suit and kind of you really should have a watch, which I've never done, but I don't wear suits that often, so.

All right. So so say posted, do you think sales are going to get a deal done with them? I don't know. Hopefully it's in their hands just trying to put food on people's tables.

I hear you now, did you read the Boston love letter I sent Cherono now? All right, well, do you want to do that? Sure. Do you want me to. Yeah, yeah. Bosson level letter. Thanks to the global pandemic, there's almost no chance of meeting love naturally in the wild. True. Like like many 20 somethings in the world, I turned to online dating. According to the Internet, there was a 50 percent increase in downloads of the apps just hinge to Tinder Bumble and more people around the world feel the loneliest they've ever felt in their lives.

You think men would finally seek someone special to spend their time with even a global pandemic, but they don't. I met a guy on Hinche. He liked my profile. In fact, he sent me a rose, a new feature that allows users to send one rose a week to one person.

And we made a plan to meet up on Thursday. He picked a place and a date and we met up halfway, walked to the bar, sat in six degree weather outside on a patio because indoor dining is banned in Toronto. The conversation was flowing. He was cute, funny and had a British accent. He paid for the drinks, walked me home, kissed me goodbye and let me know he's leaving for four days and wanted to see me before he leaves the country for two months.

I was confused but agreed to meet up again Sunday. He texted me and asked if I wanted to come over to watch a movie. I offered to go for a walk instead. He said he was too tired that night and wanted to go for a walk the next day. He said he really wanted to see me before he left. My heart melted and I agreed. The next day it is eight 15 p.m. and I haven't heard from all day.

He's leaving tomorrow. It'll I'll probably never see him again. The end. I just don't get it. I mean, I get it. I'm not stupid. He's not interested in me. I'm just so tired of this. Can't we all be honest with each other. Can we just be kind to each other. Can I just find love already. It was hard enough before the pandemic but now I feel so lonely. I'm smart, pretty. I have hobbies and amazing friends.

But I want love, love that I don't the love that I don't think I could find online. I want love without stupid games. I just want simple, supportive, kind and passionate love. Is that too much to ask for?

I mean, did she fuck them? No, the guy just completely hung out that one night, the second night, so no, no, no, she went to go over.

Yes, she wanted to go for a while. Daddy, she the guy I want to fuck, I mean, that's the simplest one of all time. He doesn't want he want to fuck. And then maybe if you're lucky, you get the walk.

But this guy is obviously trying to hook up the bullshit he wanted.

He didn't want to do the walk, you know, because it's tougher to, like, hook up on a walk than it is watching a movie on your couch. That's the most no brainer one of all time.

So whatever I like you got to put out, by the way, I don't think putting out matters, I think is a misnomer.

Girls like if you're not going to, like, put out right away, if a guy likes you is going to hang out with you again regardless.

What have you done a dating app out of movie before? No, never. Never. Just obviously it's not your not your thing. You don't have to know it's I don't know, I've never I I don't know what the answer to that is. I feel like my Instagram or social sort of like a dating app. Like if people want to find me, they can. And if you catch my attention, you can that way.

But it's not about being on a dating app. I feel like I just get screenshot it. Not that I really give a fuck, but oh, there's Dave and probably end up talking like you, Eddie. I got to say, I'm talking to a pretty girl and talking to you probably.

Now what about that, like high end like celebrity one rya or something. Yeah. Have you done that. I'm on it, but I'm not on it, like I have a profile on there in a couple, occasionally it will be sent to me, but it's not me. I don't run it.

I don't know what the deal is. I'm not I'm not on any dating apps. No, that's like the next thing here, Dave.

I think it's like you need to be caught walking down, holding hands with someone who's like a celebrity, you know, like, you know, the big word is like canoodling, caught canoodling on on the pier, you know, Dave Portnoy caught canoodling. And therefore, I caught canoodling. Who knows, I think that's why I don't interact with, like, famous people. Yeah, well, I think they're famous people on their no on radio. Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe I thought it was I probably like I don't know if it's famous. I just feel like it's like this maybe.

And I'm not like it's like rich, it's like hot girls who are just hot looking for like rich guys. Successful guys, I think. Because I know girls who aren't Ryan, they're not famous by any stretch of the imagination. OK, I don't think you have to be famous either. I think it's like successful is the better word. If you have a following, you might be approved to like if you have like if you're like a pseudo couple, you know, a thousand Instagram followers.

And, you know, I think that that applies to. But I could be wrong.

Yeah, I don't know. I mean. I'm not going to put a lot of trust in your knowledge of Rya. You shouldn't you should feel like it's one of those things, like if Eddie shows up, he's like, hey, I want join Rhia like it's a cartoon, like bars just slide down over your head like the hole in the wall.

That's the whole system locks on top of itself.

Well, that's that's fucked up of you to say. I'm just we're making conversation here. You brought up, right?

I'm telling you, I just thought I was trying to illustrate. I don't think you're my go to guy like, hey, how's the Bears quarterback situation?

Look, I'll help. Hey, what do you think of the latest upgrades to Ryan? I'm not going to the Yeti school. Fair enough.

Dave, we haven't explained that picture. But before we do, can you please tell us about Feliks? Great glasses.

I'm wearing them. Blue light, and I need them because I'm in front of a computer screen so much especially happened with DTG and all the numbers and my eyes are twitching, I couldn't fall asleep.

So I do wear them whenever and now I can sleep.

It makes it way, way, way better to battle the blue light.

So here you go. I wear them all the time. Any time you see me wearing glasses, it basically feels great. So you go to feel this great dotcom slash day for the best blue light glasses in the market. That's Felix. Great glasses, dotcom slash Dave free shipping, free returns, free exchanges.

Feliks Gray glasses, dotcom slash Dave. So they work. That's all I can say.

They start at ninety five bucks and they truly truly do work.

Yeah, you can add a prescription, too, if you need it. Your eyes are not to look at screens all day, people. So if you get you having some headaches, you know, abnormal stress, blurry vision, eye fatigue, go get some Feliks, great glasses. Feliks wearing glasses, dotcom flash.

Dave And they they're stylish too, which is nice. Yeah. The Roebling's. That's Dave's frame style, if you like. The ones Dave wears go by those. They also raise money for the Basel phones. Have good people over there. Go support them. All right. Explain that picture, Michelangelo. Karim, if someone could throw that up there so Dave could see that I was picked this week.

That's all the time video, that's when I when I went to Teko, Texas, this is a dance video where dancing. Yeah, that that's what that was, we were out there just I was probably high as a kite at this point, smoking weed. It was at South by Southwest except. Well, you know how you have Broadway and then off Broadway, we were off south by Southwest. Batik outperform, Tigo did perform again, she told me she was performing at South by Southwest, not so much.

It was just a little bar and it was one of the all time video's moments, days, weekends of Bastable.

Yeah, dress. I dress like an old oil guy. We walked into the house.

Teko didn't tell anybody that we were coming. And I was dressed in a cowboy hat. And these people like, who the fuck is that guy?

One of the most awkward things I've ever been a part of a bar stool. We walked into that house and they all ended up being like great guys.

And it was like fun, but it was touch and go for a minute.

Then they think like it was your house, like you were like the rich. Yeah, right. That was right. They thought I came back. Is this rented the house that I think they eventually got kicked out of?

I still get, like, DBMS or something from one of them who I was like, you want me to verify you on Twitter?

He could get people verified.

What was their last contact with Tiko? I don't know, it hasn't been not recent occasional trade like tweets or dams or I'll see something, but I haven't talked to her in a little bit.

Such a legendary character in the bar. So, you know.

Oh, yeah. All the time. First ballot Hall of Famer, no doubt. Like she I'm over on the walk and she should be on the mural, those like paintings we have, like she should be in there, we should just do mixing in, like, characters. Yeah.

Like you talk about like like, you know, obviously Stearnes got like the backpack, like Tico Taxus could be French.

I remember we when we went to that party, like I gave maybe one hundred dollars. I'm like, go buy booze. It was like we were visitors at the party and she just she was so upset. She just started crying because I was her plug ins. Like you gave the money to them. It's like to buy beer. So then we drove for like three hours to go find weed.

Is she cut the line at the fucking yeah, barbecue place that's on the video truck of video. Yeah, that's as mortified as I've ever been.

I'm no, I'm not skipping. I can't do I can't skip to. You can do what you. I'm not skipping. We'll wait in line. I'm like, I'm not doing it. You're on your own fucking teko Texas tyko can't do that.

Yeah.

And I mean she stuck out as all white people and she showed up. Oh, the only black person.

So it wasn't like she blended in and she just cut the line. She called me on her phone and she's like, come to the front as I can't do it.

Teko just can't do it. Everyone's staring at us. I'm dressed like a cowboy and we look like idiots.

And then and it's truly inspiring performance that night at that club, which is pouring soul out to you.

Yeah, she her voice, she lost her voice, but she she sang through it like a true champion. Unbelievable that they put on a show adding company, it's on YouTube. Go check it out. You can go see that picture, then go watch it, go text video after you can see everything on there for you.

Yeah, all time. All time, Saga. It was great. Iran, I feel like you can't even like. Yeah, I think I guess you guys did a doc on it right on her. Oh yeah. That was one of the best stocks we have.

Yeah. Yeah. Because you can't watch that video without the context of two moments. I think there were a number of the first moment obviously was doing the rundown at Target. Yeah.

You guys. Oh God. Oh God. Oh what is that.

It's hard if you ask me. Showing her belly button. The second one that might have been the same one, actually.

Yes. She's like, well, what's the flaky Dave? And you're like Teko. Let me tell you about fucking Kevin left.

It was just me telling her the entire story of deflate gate, like with her sitting.

She was enthralled by it at Target. And I was just told there, I mean, that was right in the middle of deflate gate.

It was a report that the NFL paid like ten million dollars to give the findings they wanted to hear. There's no scientific evidence. There's nothing to back it up. The balls weren't even deflated. This has been going on for like six months now. They're trying to fucking suspend Brady. He got four games to go. He got suspended for four fucking game games. I saw for nothing.

Man, those fucking days were wild. Those days for a while on this next video. I dunno if you've seen it. Paul just texted me before we went on. Alex Jones had like a four minute video talking about stool. Have you seen this yet?

The conspiracy guy? Yeah. Yeah, no, I haven't seen it.

It's off the rails, obviously, because that's how he is. But we have it here. It's four minutes. It's a little long, but we'll play it here so people can listen to what was said and then you could react after it.

If we don't need to quote because of covid, all these businesses are going out of business. Barstool sports says so buy this hand and we'll donate a dollar to some businesses. Go out of business to give us a cigaret for firing squad. Hundreds of billions of dollars. You get the number, the number of hundreds of dollars, a hundred and fifty billion months ago in the US alone. Ladies, gentlemen, that's OK. Here, buy these T-shirts, buy these small caps, and we'll give a dollar to small businesses, which would be five of them.

We're give it a money and then staying in the lock down till the night. He's no boneheads. It's not covid-19 causing him to go bankrupt. It's the lock down. It's not covid-19 killing millions in the Third World. It's a lock down. But there's none of that. There's the prescribed you're allowed to deliver what covid thing. I'm not trying to just get barstool sports and take them out of the lineup and say they're the bad guy. There's thousands of groups doing this.

And people ask me, why aren't you raising money for small businesses? I'm not trying to put small businesses in this area, so I'm giving them a cigaret. Raising a billion dollars for small businesses will do nothing in the aggregate. Not ten billion, not fifty billion. It's like giving people welfare. You can teach people how to fish, not give them fish.

So we just going, what is this? I get he saving up is the I get the just a little bit towards the end, but I don't know. I mean.

Well, first of all, he's a crazy person, right? Second of all, I don't his wartimes times people talk to us, they don't really know what they're talking about. I don't know what he means. We're giving by t shirt. We give you one dollar that was just totally made up. And I don't think we are saying anything about covid. I mean, the fact I'm even addressing it is kind of beneath me and I think beneath us it's really simple.

We're helping small businesses stay in business and or close to 300 of them that would have gone out of business, lost their livelihoods. I don't know what his problem is. That's like if you what if someone's dying of cancer, you don't care. I mean, whatever. I don't I don't know what. He's an idiot. Yeah, I don't I don't really I, I get the point he was trying to make sort of kind of, which was that he got some I think his point was that it's not about raising money.

It's about getting these people to go above and actually fight the machine and be like, hey, we shouldn't have been here in the first place, I believe, because he in his word, it's not like we're battling against covid or battling against a shutdown, if that makes sense.

Sure. So what those you can you can argue that people should have revolted against the lockdown's if they believe that you can.

Certainly I mean, I happen to think we live in law and order and you've got to go with it.

But it that's regardless. I mean, you could still do that. These companies livelihood's need business in. It's very easy for somebody like that to rant and rave, go talk to a business that's been around for 70 years, that we helped save their generational business and tell them you shouldn't get any money.

It's your fault. I mean, it's crazy logic.

Yeah. I mean, talk shows. Yes.

But it almost and I know some people leave it like somebody who goes and rants and raves like that, which is wildly inaccurate information. You already have no credibility.

And maybe that's part of why you on a rant like that.

But do like a second of research. We'll get into inside Bastable here before we do, though, let's talk about SRAW Dave. It's the first of its kind. It's a luxury hot sauce that's taken the Internet by storm. They have a unique blend of real black truffles, red chili peppers, organic agave nectar and delicate spices. It pairs great with any type of pizza. David Jebril spicy. Pour some pour some sraw on the pizza. What do you think of that.

Sure sounds great. Yeah.

So Trump has over ten thousand five star reviews and is the number one best selling hot sauce on Amazon and at Whole Foods trough. That's true. F F is American made produced locally in Southern California. The brand's Instagram and Tic-Tac handles are at Soss and they have the biggest following of any hot sauce brand in the world. Trump has been named on Oprah's favorite things gifting list two years in a row. Dave, I know you're big on Oprah's lists, used today for 15 percent off site wide, plus free shipping at troughed dotcom slash Dave.

Go get some hot sauce. I got very, very quiet week inside Basel two. I don't know if you saw the tire controversy, KFC, Twitter tweet. Well, yes.

I mean, he deleted it while I basically I don't know if they told him to, but I suggested it live like on the rundown.

Like the chain of events, I think is pretty much on the rundown where I was filming, taping maybe this show.

I don't know what I was doing.

I was definitely in a podcast from when the Tiger news broke. And then we went down to the rundown and I saw Kevin's tweet making fun of it or not making fun of it.

He thought it was an Internet hoax. So it's like, what is this? And he said it, but it was still up.

And then when we started, I was like, I would delete that if I were you, just because people are going to take it out of context, which they did.

So, you know, and he wasn't the only one, I think Big Cat and maybe Fehlberg also similar like they thought it was an Internet hoax in the history of the car accident thing. I get why they did that. And obviously there was no animosity or ill will like they weren't they didn't think it was real. Kevin didn't think it was real. I just thought once it became real. He didn't deal with the fire like I would have instantly had that down in the apology because people fucking hate us and I get his point, he's like, I don't take it down.

I own it. I wear it.

But in a case like this, it's just you're never going to win that fight. So I understood both sides. Yeah.

And he had all his proof backed up. He had eight people who like he like in his head. It made sense. But people who are reacting to seeing that car and knowing how fucking much of a big deal Tiger Woods is like people are going to freak out.

And there's it's ironic because we're the biggest Tiger Woods house in the world with the foreplay guys. But again.

And. There's people who just fucking don't like Basel and they're going to look for any angel or any leverage or anything and to fulfill their agenda, and that's what it provided. Even though anybody with a brain do you want to be like, oh, you should have waited. That was like Cole. Like you of course you jump to make a joke, but it's like he didn't even jump to make a joke. He, you know, he believe that like it wasn't like, wait a minute, this joke is like, no, this is a joke.

He was wrong. But that's clearly anyone had a problem with us. Just they're looking for trouble with us. Fine. It is what it is.

And then you read it talked about on BFW Brannigan's and maybe I don't want to say how water, but there was a a hive coming after her with some only funny talk about the pfv.

So that girl, Trish Pedis was on BFX. It was garbage. She bought her only fans in like six people in our office are sitting around watching the paid only fans. And Tricia's point was like, that's stealing or pirating, which is lunacy. It's like if someone buys a fight, you can't you can't have your friends over to watch the fight. It's crazy that there's just no logic to what she said.

Yeah, I think redistributing it is piracy.

Not that not that's literally if you paid for it and people watching over your shoulder that get out of here, it's crazy. No, Trish, I actually appreciate she's a genius and her job is to stay in the headlines.

And that's exactly what she did. But even her I don't think Trish would be like, yeah, no, I don't give a fuck.

Did you say that's what she was doing?

No, I'm just giving her more. I'm giving her credit. Gotcha.

You did you did you catch any of that? Doesn't feud Nate dog and pfft looked serious on the rundown. No, I didn't see it. You should check it out. Dave, I know you like when the dog gets after it was the dog with the monkey out.

He was he was sniffing around.

He was sniffing around about what, Joe?

So I. I'm telling you, you got to do an episode of the dog in this show. It's fucking great. Jeopardy! Law puts in a ton of hard work. And it's it's it's honestly a great product. We do. And Jeff is Jeff's baby.

But I'm in his debt. Got here. Well, he deserves it.

You don't fucking pay attention to shit. So someone's got to give some just sucking his dick. Good job. Well, you should give him a fucking suck dick. Yeah, you should give him a little suck. I think he deserves it.

OK, I'll suck Jeff Daniels. Dick, is that what you want.

Yeah. So regardless. All right. So basically the original format of the show was Brandon Walker and pfft, they're like the experts are really good at trivia. So then other three man teams, I'm on a team with Kleman Rico, they're the other three Chicago guys are on a team. You face them and now just bring in a lot more people in and they needed one more person. Nate was on a team with Fran and Trent and Fran's really fucking good.

She's great a pop culture, great at sports. And they pulled her off of Nate and Trent's team.

And Nate had took exception to it. The was actually a little mad about it to show the dog was on her on a different team, Brendon Walker, and and pfft, took her.

So essentially creating a super team. Did Fran have a say in it? Fran did have a saying that she was she willingly went to South Beach with Wade.

Well, I mean, the dog is nobody to blame but themselves. And you can't get Matt, what, like that. You can't get mad at the team if they if they recruit the players like you, I'll go to you.

I don't want to be with these guys. I don't. What's neat, Matt, he has no grounds. He was he was Dan Gilbert.

Essentially, he wrote the letter I've been saying. But Dan Gilbert was, I think, far more mad at LeBron than he was at the Heat. Good point, good point. I don't know how to exactly structure the the comparison, but you get what I'm saying.

Well, I struggled with it. I structured it. I feel like Nate and Trent should be mad at friend, not mad at Patti and be walk.

Sounds like friend turned her back.

Yeah. Yeah. All right. Speaking of LeBron, actually, did you see he reposted a million dollars worth of games, don't you?

I mean, half the time, I don't know what the fuck they're talking about or who they're talking to, but I see I look it's like, oh, they're fucking huge beasts fucking I don't start promoting them right. Or what.

But they're I know they're big, but they should be like inter galactically big because they're funny to anybody.

I mean they're pulling huge numbers on YouTube. I think they're pretty fucking big. They should be fucking intergalactic elite big like you should walk the like. All right. Let me say it this way. None of white people is that kind of say it that way. Not enough white people know who they are. Yeah, I think that's fair, like their. What? Somebody just say something, I was checking the YouTube numbers, I was going to show you them, they actually are.

They're doing here look. Their episode last weekend, 840000 views in a week, they had to baby on another big rapper. How many of those people do you know, Dave, that you could read off that list?

Well, I know to baby, like, I reckon I didn't know who Poo Shasti was till I heard I didn't know who Polo G was.

But, you know, these are big numbers. But OK, these are big numbers. These are like sort of not always, but those are like BNF numbers. And to me, they should be fucking way bigger than that.

So they should be called daddy numbers as well.

No, Instagram's I mean, YouTube is different, but they should be like millions.

Those are BFE numbers, essentially, correct? Yeah. So I'm giving them credit. I think they should be. You know, you do combine our audience, can you have two more different audiences and that like the beef audience and the million dollars worth of games, you know what?

We have a million dollars worth of games.

I got to come up with all the ideas. I'm mad at my bf screw. Let's get a million dollars worth of game on BFE. Now, that would be fucking funny.

What's up with Piaf's? They were just Paul was unorganized today. Paul, any comment now? We talked about it, we fucked up, we got to wear it. It's been a while. We've had a good run recently and we just I think we got we just got lazy. I don't know if it's lazy is the answer.

I just to take the eye off the prize for a minute and we thought we'd be back. And then my final thing here, what's up with your guy, Tyler Ortiz got all these lists. I've been following that from afar. I saw him at Eton the other day, had one like one of those trendy hats on.

I don't know. Listen, one thing that I do think has happened. If I'm reading the vibes, right, since I've been out of the office, he's getting a little too big for his britches. And listen, I was the first holiday guy and the like.

I hated them. But then I had this whole song like Girl from Ipanema. We had them in the office. He'd sing on the show. But now everyone seems to be an all day fan, like the old Daini acts or whatever, so he may have to get shot back down to size.

Well, I don't know what these cheapies are. Dave, do you order?

No. Can someone explain what a GPS to I? From what I've heard, it's just like a positive group of people on Twitter that just like try to be positive to one another and everyone that they come in contact with.

So if you want to be positive or negative of I love use that I can exchange between, the chief is very supportive, loving group of Internet personalities.

Like, is this unique to Odey or is this a Internet thing from. I think it's like a Twitter thing that Odey is involved in. Like if you want to be a GP, you just join the group and then you just be positive.

But it's not like it's not like you're a little monster, which is like Lady Gaga or Stoolies Barzini.

I don't think if people say cheapy are they thinking, oh, you're part of the you know, I don't think that like, if you're a cheapy that means like you warship Odey. I think he's just in it and like heavily involved.

I have the actual definition from Tyler because Erica asked me that she's like, what is that shit? And it says he said. Tyler said the cheapies are an online community started by someone who acted under a pseudonym, Big Tastee, who had a short lived podcast called The Cheap Seats Podcast. Fans of the podcast were called Cheapies. The podcast is now defunct. And now it's a quite literally a random assortment of people online who call themselves and tweet each other, telling each other that they love each other.

It is a purely positive space. Anyone who doesn't like the sheep is referred to as wet blankets. Total membership is around two thousand people.

I mean, it sounds almost non-existent, two thousand people, I can't fucking wipe my ass with two thousand people.

So you're not you're not actively trying to join the news to me. I'm not actively that Dave's a big love guy.

I was going to say a group of people who just constantly tell each other how great they are and how positive.

That doesn't sound like my type of party, like the Jeff DLO sucking his Dick Eddie thing we just wanted to go through. Oh, I mean, he just shocked million dollars worth of game, Dick, if we want to go there too, so.

Well, I was the one has fucking Jeff dilo.

Had pubertal on million dollars worth of game at exactly whatever.

Get Pooh Bear. I saw, I saw Warlow breaking it down for Poubelle and I'm like, all right, who is Pooh Bear.

You actually get lern. Do you do your homework. I'm doing my homework. I don't need to know about Jeff Delo.

All right. I know.

Jeff, the does Jeff dilo once I fucking slapped him around a little bit a year ago, he's been on the up and up and he's good now. There we go.

All right. See, see. All right.

So that she was on Shasti. Yeah. Little pubertal what Fushi Shasti who? Shasti, he's not Pober, you tried to trick me into calling him Pubis Shasti. I mean, Pooh Bear is a guy to Christopher Robin. Yeah, one of the all time quotes, one of my favorite quotes was Winnie the Pooh, the fuck you really love it.

I know. It's like, what time is it like today? That's a quote, something like that, it's like just live in the moment, something like that, till you get your Winnie the Pooh up.

All right, Chris Rock. You know the boys. Not to Shasti, I'm upset, too, with our day, by the way, I feel like I was at the forefront with you and the other day, love and I haven't been named either, so I'm upset. All right, we'll do some listener emails, we'll get out of here once again, de Pawni, show up barstool, spor, Starcom if you want to, someone in that spot to do it, they put it on show at barstool sports dotcom on the topic.

This one's from Matt. Dave, do you actually listen to any Bastable podcast?

No. So nothing's in the rotation now. OK. This next from Nagamine, that's not a shock reality. No, but I you you just like, if I'm not mistaken, guy. So, like on the private at the PJs, you just call music. Yeah. Could you come up with the last podcast that you listen to like like an episode of just just I go check this. I got to see what this is.

No, I mean, a million dollars worth of game occasionally. Why not? Because it's like I don't know what the hell is going on. So I try to check in and see what they're doing. But no, I don't I'm not an audio guy.

No, no, it's not just. Is not just ours, I don't listen to podcasts, were you like any Etai guy or a little bit back?

But then I like before that I got off of it, I got sick of audio and I just went to music, OK?

So nothing there's your answer, Matt. This one's from Nathan. Has there ever been any talk about actual physical barstool merch stores?

Yeah, there have been. What's the what's going back and forth, storefronts, you need someone to run it. I'm in favor of it, I think elevates the brand. I know if you just want to sell a cheap T-shirts, but I like the idea of it. I like physical.

I like letting people be able to, like, feel and touch the brand.

I really wanted, like a physical.

And now we are freaking out the radio stuff, but like a studio in Manhattan where people could come watch, you know, maybe you have the merch store, like, attached to it, kind of like an experience that Bisek would that be like I mean, it just takes a few restaurants, basically, like they had ESPN, they did live shows there.

They did a little bit.

I think actually Greektown has Mirch in the gift shop, I want to say that there was so just like it was still covid, I didn't even see the gift shop.

Yeah, but I want to say, even behind the bar, there was like cubbyholes. But I could be I could be wrong where people could, you know, get up.

Most casinos do have the gift shop. But yeah, I was Detroit Babbie. Pretty sick, though.

OK, there's no how much time we have left because I could take a piss. Should I. I got I got I got three questions because I've been holding this purse.

I don't want to rush it. I'm, I'm fine. But I got to piss. We're good. We got three quarters go. I may piss pants. This one's from Mike. Tax season is here. How big of a mess is it for you?

I have people now, but I owe a shit ton. Just just like an actual tax team or like a tax guy or an accountant, I have new like team because I've elevated into a little bit more of a high net worth individual. But I owe a lot of fucking taxes.

I owe a lot of taxes. Were you, like, stunned when you saw? I knew I was going to, but I owe a lot of fucking taxes. I owe a lot of fucking taxes.

You have like a smirk on your face.

That's just a lot of taxes.

I owe a lot of taxes and like, no, and I'm not going to say how much I owe, but I will say high or lower 53.

I know. I'll go with what are you going to say? I would say 53 million. But that's in taxes. Yeah. Lower Eddie, if I hold 53 in taxes, I would own a sports team, I think. Can I ask you why? Can I tell you why? I can't tell you why I said that. But there's a reason why I said that. I'll say, what are you being like?

What what are you being like? Mysterious. Am I wrong?

Well, because I don't you get taxed on the equity. Yeah. So, like you is in your equity like three hundred something. No, where are you coming up with that? I think I saw that somewhere or heard all somewhere. No. Well, no, I don't have a lot of it, but no, you're way off now, I'll say.

Well, you already guests and I said lower, so you lose. For four formal, you already lost, gone. Next question. Yes, 53 million in taxes.

I was I was thinking of paying that off your your pen equity. So that was a bad guess. Sorry, two more here, Zach went from Zach now that Penn is at another point of study at over 100. Any chance you start lobbying the powers to get more investors?

I'm not sure I understand the question like, isn't there a way now like you could cut more people in to Penn? Now that I know that that's no, I don't think we're looking for more investors. Last one from Ryan. Any big plans for DPE 44? We have a board meeting. What's that mean? Means we have a board meeting with Pen and myself, Erica, on March 22nd, my birthday. That's my big plans. I think gas is coming to Miami to celebrate it all, but I'll be in a board meeting.

Oh, nice. Well, that'll be fun for you and gas. Well, I'm not a beer. I'm going to be in a board meeting. Well, how long's a board meeting take all day? Really? Yeah. It's a long time. All right, so it doesn't sound it's going to be that deep. No, I don't have great plans. I'll either be in Chicago. In New York. All right, that's it. Anything else sounds like a teacher.

I heard you're teaching a class or something today. Yeah, Dave Grobman does. This teaches at FIU.

That's why I am in let's not release it till after tonight because it's a surprise. But he teaches like some sort of hospitality entrepreneurship class. And he asked me to be a guest speaker. So I'm doing that tonight. That's why I'm in Miami.

Nice. Nice. All right, that's it. You got to go take that pitch. Yeah, big time. All right. Have a nice person. All right. Thanks, Eddie.

Yeah. All right, that's it for today, everybody. We'll see you next week.
