In this episode, Travis and producer Eric dive into breaking sports media news: ESPN and Penn Entertainment unwinding their $2 billion, 10-year ESPN Bet partnership just two years after launch and pivoting into a new multi-year deal with DraftKings. They unpack what this says about ESPN's fading dominance, DraftKings' position as the default sportsbook brand, and how Barstool founder Dave Portnoy continues to land on his feet after Penn sold Barstool back to him and rebranded to ESPN Bet. Along the way, they draw parallels to Disney's evolving “family-friendly” branding strategy, the broader shift from legacy TV to social-first sports media, and why product quality and user behavior matter more than just a big name.​​ On this episode we talk about: The stunning early termination of the ESPN–Penn Entertainment $2B, 10-year ESPN Bet deal, effective December 1, 2025, after ESPN Bet failed to crack meaningful market share.​ Why ESPN Bet reportedly struggled to get above ~5% market share and never hit “top three” sportsbook status despite ESPN's massive brand and distribution.​ Penn's prior Barstool Sports era, regulatory pushback tied to Portnoy's persona, and how Penn sold Barstool back to Dave Portnoy as it pivoted to the ESPN Bet rebrand.​​ Portnoy's reaction on his own show, why he thinks time will tell if this is a good move for DraftKings, and his hint that Disney CEO Bob Iger made unflattering comments about Barstool behind the scenes.​ How Disney's move from “no R-rated content” on Disney+ to hosting edgier, R-rated films via the Hulu integration shows a slow but real shift away from a strictly squeaky-clean image.​ Why even a giant like ESPN can't just slap its logo on a product and win—especially when users already love DraftKings and other established betting apps.​ The rise of social-native sports brands like House of Highlights and Barstool Sports, and how short-form content has replaced traditional SportsCenter viewing for many fans.​​ Jake Paul's “Betr” (Better) and other creator-led betting and media plays, and how having the ear of younger fans changes the balance of power in sports media.​ Why product quality, UX, and habit lock-in often beat legacy branding, even when legacy outlets still dominate live rights and TV distribution.​ A quick detour into the best sports movies of all time—Hoosiers, Remember the Titans, Warrior, Rocky, Moneyball, and more—and what they reveal about the nostalgia we still attach to sports storytelling. Top 3 Takeaways Big legacy brands like ESPN and Disney can no longer rely on their name alone; in crowded categories like sports betting, sticky products and fan-favorite platforms like DraftKings are extremely hard to displace.​ Controversial personalities like Dave Portnoy can create regulatory and brand headaches, but they also build cult followings and resilient IP—Barstool's rebound and Portnoy's “$1 buyback” remain a masterclass in leverage.​​ The future of sports attention is social-first and creator-driven: fans increasingly get their highlights, hot takes, and sometimes even betting cues from digital-native brands rather than traditional TV networks.​​

To borrow a line from The Roastmaster Jeff Ross, the only thing John Levy has ever sugarcoated has been his morning bowl of Corn Flakes (Ed's note. . . our tongue was securely fastened in our cheek while tapping the keyboard). Levy was his usual candid self in his latest conversation with Steve McAllister on the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming. The original founder of Headline Sports – which spawned theScore, Hardcore Sports Radio and theScore Bet – had lots to say about the news last week of ESPN and Penn Entertainment ending their 10-year agreement, and the end of ESPN Bet. Levy, who sold Score Gaming and Media to Penn in the summer of 2021 and left the company in 2024 along with his sons Aubrey, Benjie and Noah, discussed the failures that led to the demise of ESPN Bet and the breakup of Penn and Barstool Sports in the summer of 2023 (we asked Levy if he had any interest in pulling a Dave Portnoy and reacquiring theScore – he answered). He also talked about Penn's problems in the digital gaming business both in the U.S. and Canada and had some thoughts about the comments of Penn CEO Jay Snowden last week that the company may have interest in the retail casino business here in the Great White North. The conversation also included the relationship between sports betting operators and sports media companies. And, some two weeks after a riveting World Series, Levy trumpeted theScore's 10-year partnership deal with the Blue Jays that was announced on the same day Ontario's open gambling market opened in April 2022.

Notes: What Erika learned from her dad: “He loved his work and was so full from it. Three weeks before he died he was doing Zoom calls with students from the ER even though it was beyond unnecessary and impractical to do so. If you love what you do it can add so much dimension to your life and the lives of others. He liked people and to learn from them. There's something to learn from everybody. And the best control was no control - let things happen and learn from them & adapt. Career advice: Know what your company is paying you to do. And the better you make your boss look, the better it will be for you. Find problems and clear the path for your boss. Make their life easier. Make them look good. That's the role when you have a boss. Must-Haves When she's making a hiring decision: Be able to share stories of how you've gone for something that failed, and learned Be curious, ask thoughtful questions Do research on the company. CARE.  Test the product. Be able to demonstrate that you know what it does. Bring a point of view. Articulate what you could bring to the role and how you could make the company better. Joanne— I wanted to be you until I realized I couldn't, so I decided to be me. I studied you for twelve years. You are the architect of all my work dreams, and you are the scaffolding I built myself on. You put force into my nature, and for that I am so grateful. Getting the Barstool CEO role: She earned the job over 74 male candidates. “I wanted this job because they were considered too rogue, too untouchable, too badly behaved, too unproven. Dave Portnoy (the founder) was powerful, seemingly unmanageable, and volatile.” In 2012, when Chernin bought a majority stake in Barstool, the company was worth $12 million. You sold it to Penn Entertainment seven years later for $550 million. Make Your Own Luck – When Erika was nearly graduating college, she applied for an internship at Converse no less than 45 times. She never got an interview. Why? “I didn't do anything unique enough, passionate enough, or memorable enough to deserve a chance at the job.” “It was a heart attack every day for nine years,” Erika said of being Barstool's CEO. As the first-ever CEO of media magnate Barstool Sports, Ayers Badan led the company through explosive growth (+5000% in revenue and significantly more in audience), expanding the company from a regional blog to a national powerhouse brand and media company. During her 9 years steering the company, Barstool became a top ten podcasting publisher in the US, with the world's #1 sports, hockey, golf, and music podcasts, and a top 6 brand globally on TikTok.

Well, well, well, folks! Hold onto your coffee mugs because the news is hotter than a jalapeno pepper dipped in hot sauce. Our man Dave Portnoy, the genius behind the legendary Barstool Sports, has just pulled off a move that's got Wall Street scratching their heads and the rest of us chuckling into our cornflakes. Dave, you wild stallion, you did it again! Picture this: Dave Portnoy, the same guy who built an empire on the back of pizza reviews and sports rants, has managed to snag Barstool Sports back from Penn Entertainment for a whopping sum of… drumroll, please… one dollar! Yep, you heard that right, a single buckaroo. I mean, who knew that a dollar could buy you not only a questionable vending machine snack but also a media company? Now, let's take a trip down memory lane. Just a while back, Penn Entertainment shelled out a cool $550 million to own 100% of Barstool. But like a bad Tinder date, they quickly realized this match was about as awkward as a flamingo trying to dance the Macarena. So, in a move that could only be described as "cleaning out the closet," they handed over the keys to Dave for the price of a stale gumball. And what did Penn Entertainment get in return? A pre-tax non-cash loss that's so big, it could make a Kardashian blush. We're talking somewhere between $800 million and $850 million. Ouch! That's gotta hurt more than stepping on a Lego in the middle of the night. But wait, there's more! Not content with just getting Barstool back, Dave's deal comes with a little cherry on top. Penn gets to be the proud owner of 50% of whatever Dave makes if he decides to do the unthinkable and part ways with his beloved creation. But fear not, my friends, because Dave has declared with the seriousness of a toddler refusing broccoli that he will "never" sell Barstool. And honestly, with all the pizza, beer, and hot takes, who can blame him? It's basically a grown-up version of a playground clubhouse. But why the sudden change of heart? Well, according to Dave's own words, it seems the world of regulated gambling isn't exactly a match made in heaven for the Barstool crew. Apparently, they got denied gambling licenses faster than you can say "double cheeseburger with extra bacon." Who knew that a guy who could break down a slice of pizza like Shakespeare dissecting a sonnet would have trouble fitting into the world of bureaucracy? We're guessing not even a pizza slice with a law degree could have saved this situation. And just when you thought the comedy was over, enter CEO Jay Snowden with the grand finale. In what can only be described as the understatement of the year, Jay basically said, "Yeah, we realized we're about as natural a fit for Barstool Sports as a cactus in a snowstorm." Well, Jay, better late than never, right? -- Follow Us: ✅ Instagram: https://bit.ly/wawd-instagram ✅ TikTok: https://bit.ly/wawd-tiktok ✅ Facebook: https://bit.ly/wawd-facebook ********** Disclaimer: We at the What are We Doing podcast want to make it clear that the views and opinions expressed in this video belong solely to the speakers or authors and do not represent the views and opinions held by YouTube, its partners, or its owners.

Kyle Bauer and Nick Turani both grew up in Wheeling, West Virginia.

KB was a wrestler at Kent State University who went on to become a viral sensation on Twitter before coming to Barstool as a blogger, and Nick spent time as a graphic designer at Mark's Ohio State University after graduating from West Virginia, eventually leading him to an opportunity to do graphics at Barstool, which led him in to the on camera world.

Hour 1: Boomer and Jerry begin the show talking about the opening episode of Hard Knocks. It was pretty much “The Aaron Rodgers show” and Boomer says that's how it should be. He misses the camaraderie of training camp. Jerry was impressed by Nathaniel Hackett and is surprised he was such a bad head coach but Boomer explains why it makes sense to him. Boomer and Jerry agree that this should be a big season for the Jets, barring injury. Aaron Rodgers is buying in, his Jets teammates are buying in and we are buying in. C-Lo is in for Jerry and Boomer praises Big Zoo for putting in some hard work. Robert Saleh's big speech about eagles and crows opened Hard Knocks. Is Russell Wilson a Hall of Famer if he doesn't bounce back this year? Commanders players are complaining that Eric Bieniemy is too hard on them. The Yankees beat the White Sox and are back to 4.5 games out of the 3rd wild card. Clarke Schmidt is dealing for the Yankees while flying under the radar. It is time for the Yankees to go on a run. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer and Jerry discuss Penn Entertainment selling Barstool back to Dave Portnoy in order to partner with ESPN to launch “ESPN Bet”. Will leagues soon follow ESPN's lead? Boomer explains the underlying reason why ESPN let go of Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and other big names.

Will leagues soon follow ESPN's lead? Boomer explains the underlying reason why ESPN let go of Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and other big names. Hour 2: The Yankees needed a win in Chicago and got one. The bats broke out in the 4th inning. It's the most disappointing season for New York baseball in a while. There's a toxicity in New York sports fandom that Boomer hopes doesn't interfere with the Jets season. Should New York take a similar approach to struggling players that Philadelphia did with Trea Turner? Boomer says it's clear that Zach Wilson still isn't ready. Boomer reacts to the Johnny Manziel documentary. C-Lo returns for an update and shares Al's review of Hard Knocks (freaking boring). Sauce told Aaron Rodgers he wants to play for 40 years. Rodgers is acting like a coach during preseason games. Eric Bieniemy and Jack Del Rio respond to players expressing “concern” over how hard Bieniemy is pushing them. Colin Cowherd made a really bad blunder yesterday. Jerry thinks Cowherd and FOX Sports mentioned the late Dwayne Haskins on purpose. Boomer says that would be crossing the line and believes that a lot of people on that staff really messed up. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry tells Boomer about his groundhog problem. Hour 3: A big NBA story has not been covered as much as Jerry expected. Former players defrauded the league in an insurance scam. C-Lo returns for an update and begins with Mecole Hardman telling Aaron Rodgers how he grew up watching his new QB. Johnny Manziel didn't come across very well in his documentary and a certain former Jets and Bengals QB made a harsh comment about nose tackles back in the day. The Yankees picked up a win on the South Side. James McCann cost the Orioles a win last night. Max Scherzer barely completed 7 innings most starts when he was a Met. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer tells Jerry about his “Gametime” interview with former Heat and current Cavalier guard Max Strus. Strus had a long road to NBA success and shared some interesting thoughts on the transfer portal. What would a star like Johnny Manziel have made in the NIL era? Hour 4: Count Jerry among the people that walked away from the first episode of Hard Knocks thinking the Jets are going to win the Super Bowl. Boomer says Garrett Wilson is “smooth” and will have a big year. The Giants are flying under the radar and that's a good thing. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day and begins with the Yankees win in Chicago. Aaron Boone talked to Jomboy about Giancarlo Stanton not running hard on the basepaths. Boomer and Yankees fans wish Boone would just be honest once in a blue moon. Should Stanton be out there if he can't run? Tommy Kahnle shaves all of his hair whenever he allows a run. In the final segment of the day, Jerry and Boomer give Massapequa Little League a shoutout as they look to advance in the Little League World Series. Maybe a dog or bird can handle Jerry's groundhog problem.
