ESPN should be thanking us for elevating the brands of 'Pardon the Interruption' and 'First Take'

I would say that they should be on their hands and knees thanking us that we're doing more to elevate the Pardon the Interruption and First Take brand, because now they're affiliated with our brand.

ESPN's shows were massive established brands, while PMT was a weeks-old podcast; the exposure definitely flowed the other way.

ESPN definitely picked the wrong people to mess with because we have nothing to lose

I think they definitely picked the wrong people to fuck with on this one. Like we got nothing to lose.

The podcast went on to become the most successful sports podcast in the world despite the legal pressure.

Barstool and Disney/ESPN are closer in value than people think

I'm not saying that Disney and Barstool are, like, maybe equal in terms of stock, but we're closer than people think.

Disney is a massive global corporation with a market cap in the hundreds of billions, whereas Barstool was valued in the tens of millions at this time.

The more lawsuits ESPN files against us, the stronger we get

I want to have them file lawsuits at me nonstop because the more they file, the stronger I get... the more lawsuits we have filed against us, the better we get.

The C&D story became a major media moment that helped cement PMT's early dominance in the podcast charts.

Brock Purdy is the MVP and the 49ers are the NFL's best team

The 49ers are, I think, the best team in football. I think Brock Purdy right now is the league MVP.

The 49ers' eventual season result and MVP award are not yet known from the available context.

Dan Quinn should be fired after the fourth-down disaster

I think Dan Quinn has to go and he's a nice guy.

This is primarily a coaching judgment, although the proposed firing is also a future personnel outcome.

The Jets would win the NFC East

The Jets would be—I would take the Jets to win the NFC East. Without a doubt.

The 2026 NFL season has not yet reached its conclusion, so whether the Jets win the NFC East is unresolved.
