Episode notes

"I don't care what you say about me. I really don't," he says of his critics. "It's, it's the first time since I've been doing bar stool, people can sort of get at me through a side door." He adds: "We never look for fights with that stuff ... I'm pretty much a free speaker"

Dave Portnoy is an entrepreneur, media personality and the creator of Barstool Sports, one of the biggest publications for sports and pop culture content in the world.

Dave Portnoy joins Theo Von on This Past Weekend to talk about his humble beginnings in Boston, taking risks, getting arrested at a Patriots game, how to handle controversy, and what it took to turn a small newspaper into one of the biggest media companies in America.
