Thanks to Cash App for making it happen.
For more, visit barstoolsports.com/bigbrain
Presented by CashApp.
El Pres gives Frankie Midnight his full attention, as Frank requests $100k for his website.
So personally I think The Big Brain is one of the best things we’ve produced at Barstool. And yeah for the peanut gallery we obviously got the idea from Shark Tank. No shit Sherlock. But this wasn’t done just for content. We were actually looking for real companies to invest in. I basically had an unlimited budget to work with and two brilliant businessmen in Mike Repole and Jon Taffer to help assist me with the decisions. Thanks to Cash App and everybody involved in producing this show and hopefully you guys like it. More importantly hopefully all the companies we invested in becoming fucking monster big and help me buy a ton more horses.
We will be releasing a new episode every Wednesday at 2pm for 10 weeks starting today.

Yes and no. Put the shorts on the barstool site for $65 and he can make a shit ton of money. That 70% means that he will get their design crew making color schemes for specific schools and teams, jot copyrighted because that's what barstool does. Yeah, he only gets 30% of sales but I bet barstool patents all if his ideas and makes his turtleneck business relevant as well. He will make more with barstool than he would have 5 years on his own. It's a safe bet.
