Hey, out and about listeners. You can find every episode on Apple, podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. It is Wednesday, and what I like to do when we get a new employee here at Barstool Sports, I like to bring them into the fold. I like to get to know them. We like to get to know their entire story. So that's what we have here today. We have Barstle's newest employee.

He's an NBA superstar.

He's the host of Hooping and Hollering. And he is another Pat. So it's Pat Squared today here on out and about. Pat Beverly, welcome on in. Superstar is probably a bit much. It is. As I said it, I was like, it's a bit, it's a bit much, but just fucking roll with it.

I mean, Glaze is great.

You're great.

I appreciate that.

You're great.

You're great.

I like how you intro camera.

I like how you jump right out in front of it. Nice. I like that. Yeah, keep going. You know, geez the fan. Well, Glade deserves another. Dude, but you are, I was, I'm really happier here, not just on the show at the company,

because we've had athletes come in,

and I think it's a really difficult transition for people who have been in your position playing sports coming into the media world, the media world, barstool, because it's so different.

I think you experienced some of that last week with the fucking internet fighting shit with Francis and all these people, which you don't have to get into.

No, we can't if you want.

But I thought you handled all that well.

And I guess my first question to you is, how did you end up here?

So, organically, like any other, I'm an 88 kid, right?

So I was around when, I don't know, Internet literally just took off, right? How old are you? 36? 37. 37, you're older than me. Right. So, I'm, Internet just take off. The older I got, I became this polarizing figure in the NBA. Yeah. Either you love me or you hate me.

That's true.

That's like the most Dave Portnoy, like, hire of all time. You either love or hate. I think a lot more people love you than hate you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think the people you were playing, cities you went to, people hated you. But I think more people love you. Yeah. So dealing with that, I kind of understood like, okay, cool.

Like, even when I'm done with basketball, I can, like, I can go into another field. My takes, my takes won't be normal takes. There'll be takes where I understand how the algorithm goes. I think Barstow has taught me that over the last three years that I understand how the algorithm goes.

I understand that three years.
