All right, there's this amazing book called Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got. I read it a few years ago and it changed my life.
And the reason I loved it was because it basically talks about how to get and make more money using things that you already have.
Coincidentally, today's podcast is brought to you by Business Made Simple. It's a podcast by Donald Miller, who I'm gonna tell you about in a second, but he has this amazing episode that's all related to this book and the things that I learned in this book. It's called How to Make Money with What You Already Have. It's an incredible episode. It talks about all the stuff that I learned in this book. The host is Donald Miller. I didn't know who Donald Miller was up until recently, but over the last 12 months, this is totally by coincidence. It was all separate people. They said, you have to check out Donald Miller. He's amazing. So I'm happy that he's part of HubSpot's Podcast Network. You can check it out, Business Made Simple Podcast. It's where he coaches you on how to build your business like an airplane, where the cockpit is your leadership, the body is your overhead, the right engine is your marketing, the left engine is your sales.
You have to check it out. This guy's amazing. It's called Business Made Simple with Donald Miller.
I've heard a phrase. It's like basically what rich nerds do on the weekend. Everyone will be doing in 10 years.

Right.
Yeah. And that's exactly what this is.

**Sam Parr** (1:22)
Thanks for watching . All right.

On this episode, we are talking about the Barstool sports drama, Dave Portnoy versus the world. We have a Billy of the Week, this guy, Bryan Johnson, who to me is kind of like the Elon Musk you've never heard about.
We have two business ideas, one around e-commerce idea, and then another one for restaurant drive-throughs. And then we end with a funny story about this dog walker that went to Sam.
And we play a little game called How Much is Pomp Worth? Where we guess how much our friend is worth because he just gave back all of his investors their money and he's just going to invest his own money from now on. So that's the episode. Hope you enjoy.

Did you see, Sean, that people were tweeting saying they liked what they liked hearing what Ben had to say? And then he retweeted that as he should.

**Shaan Puri** (2:08)
Did I retweet every compliment? Not every compliment, but if I get a bunch of compliments, like if I check my phone and there's a bunch of compliments in there, one of those is definitely getting retweeted.
I think it's obnoxious when other people do it, but I also notice it. And so I'm like, oh, this is effective, obnoxious, but effective.

**Sam Parr** (2:27)
We have some cool stuff to go over today, but the coolest one is the Dave Portnoy stuff.

**Shaan Puri** (2:33)
Yeah, let's talk about this. I've been wanting to talk to you about this since it happened, and it's still happening. So that's great. It's like there's just more that's come out.
And also, I think you surprised me because I think you're not. I thought you would be so pro Dave Portnoy, and I think you're actually not from our text messages. So first, explain what happened, and then we'll debate it.

**Sam Parr** (2:56)
OK.
So let's start with if you don't know who Dave Portnoy is. Dave Portnoy is the founder of a company called Barstool Sports. They're basically known for like smut bro comedy. That's actually pretty genius. And I'm typically a fan of it.

**Shaan Puri** (3:12)
It's like if ESPN was drunk. This is what they would this is the news they would make.

**Sam Parr** (3:16)
Yeah, exactly. That's a great way to describe it.
And Dave Portnoy is a... This isn't an insult, but he's kind of like Trump in that he's like ridiculous. And he's got fans that will do anything for him. And he plays this part that's exaggerated and silly and just overboard and everything he does.
So the Business Insider released an article last week on Friday or Thursday. Coincidentally, Right When Barstool, which is owned by a publicly traded company, had their earnings call. They released their article at the same time. And it basically was an eight month investigative journalistic piece where this woman named Julia Black spoke with loads of people who had sex with Dave Portnoy. And this is basically either him or her or both. The girls DMing Dave and Dave had... There were screenshots that said something like, Do you want to be famous? If yes, I'm a good place to start. So like saying like some silly, ridiculous, douchey stuff. And the women saying like, I would love that. Yes, I'm in.
