Okay, let's break high brand new And then we're taking higher Oh, we got a rock down two. It's pardoning my take. There's an about harshness for us. Welcome to pardon my take today is Wednesday, August 9th and football is back. hard knocks baby baby. Hard knocks. In tradition, unlike any other, we get super pumped up. We watch footballs on our screen. We enjoy it. And then, oh yeah, not a lot goes on. We already saw most everything that happened. But it was cool to see behind the scenes the Nathaniel Hackett stuff, him with Aaron Rogers and how they reacted

to Sean Payton, comments and all that.

That part was kind of cool. I like that. Yes, yes. So football is back. Let's talk hard knocks in a minute. We should probably address the big news today. Mincey's back. Mincey's back. Yes. So if you are living under a rock or if you only listen to the show, first of all, First of all, thank you.

That means you're a wonderful AWL.

It was announced today that Penn who owned us

barstals. or if you only listen to the show, first of all thank you, that means you're a wonderful AWL. It was announced today that Penn who owned us, Barstool Sports, has sold Barstool Sports back to us, back to Dave. They are creating a new app or yeah, in conjunction with ESPN, ESPN Bets. Penn, wonderful people, Jason Odin, will be a friend for life. They change my life, they change all of our lives. But the big news is that Barstool is back to being independent. So it's pretty cool. It's been a crazy 20 years for Barstool. I think the 20th anniversary is coming up in a couple of weeks. It's been, you know, we've been doing this show for seven, eight years. We are back to independent, back to the pirate ship. I think it's a deal that works out for everyone very well. We, listen, can't lose Parlay. People saw what happened with that. Turns out regulators maybe don't love bar stool. Don't love us. And I get that. It totally makes sense. I think Penn had the same thought like, hey, we thought this was going to work out maybe a little better with regulators. It didn't. So we are back to being ourselves independent and Penn is going to be doing something with ESPN and ESPN Bets. And I think it's going to be wildly successful because Penn has some really incredible people. But yeah, we are back to being independent. The pirate ship goes back out there into the I did see some people being like, oh, can you guys now do stuff you didn't do? I don't think we changed anything under Penn. I truly don't. I know people will, yes, there were different ways that we had to talk about gambling, gambling, regulators were stringent. But in terms of the content of this show, I don't think we changed anything. Did we PFT? We were going to do instead of a pistach shit cats at one point. That's too. Jason Odin said, Hey, I don't know if we can go that forward with you guys. Maybe dial back. Just keep it number one only. I have one too. Wait, wait, hold on. Before before you say yours, PFT, or Hank, PFT, I'm sure you got the same thing of people will be in like pistachs back. They're just completely not realizing that both you and I have pissed our pants on camera

in the last six months.

Yeah. you got the same thing of people being like pistachs back. They're just completely not realizing that both you and I

have pissed our pants on camera in the last six months.

Yeah.

Multiple times.

Yeah, I don't really know what I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I love our fans, our the best fans in the world.

I know everyone says that, but I truly do believe that.

They ride and die with us through thick and thin.

They're always behind us.

We have a dream job because of the people that listen and support us and I never has lost. I mean, never, ever, ever. But I will say too, we have not really changed that much. We've been pissing our pants. Right. I would love to come back and say like, oh, I'm so glad because we get to really we let everything fly fly that we haven't made, but we've, I don't think we've dialed anything back at all.

Yeah, it's just been, it's been how we talked about gambling, which I understand that was part of the rules. And it made sense to make sure that we talked about gambling the correct way under pen. And even when we did that, and we were very, There was a lot of people who did a really good job of making sure everything was cleared

with the gambling stuff and still we ran into the issues with the regulars. I think that was kind of the eye opening moment for all parties. And so yeah, I don't think the content has changed on this show specifically at all. And it won't and it will keep going forward. But it is fucking awesome that we're the pirate shipping. Hank.

Yes, there was that, uh, 2020, there was the leaf blower video of the person blowing a leaf blower full of weed around a room. Yeah. You guys told me to do it. I got a pound of weed. I acquired a pound of weed to do the video in the studio. And then you guys were like, well, we're about to sell the pen so you can't do it.

So then I said, how you can hold on to this pound of weed?
