Netflix partnering with Barstool, removing Pardon My Take video from YouTube.
00:00:09.820
So Netflix and Barstool Sports announced a multi-year partnership Wednesday
00:00:13.160
that will bring the video versions of Pardon My Take
00:00:16.420
and two other Barstool podcasts to the streaming platform beginning in early 2026.
00:00:20.920
New episodes of Pardon My Take and a Ryan Rosillo show
00:00:24.640
and a hockey podcast, Spitting Chicklets, will only be available on Netflix.
00:00:30.400
Podcast listeners will still be able to get access to the audio episodes on other platforms.
00:00:35.500
This partnership broadens how our members connect with Barstool's leading sports voices
00:00:42.460
Unfiltered commentary, sharp takes, and undeniable humor,
00:00:45.620
said Lawrence Smith, Netflix's vice president of content licensing and programming strategy.
00:00:49.920
Netflix announced a similar content sharing agreement with Spotify in October,
00:00:53.540
starting early next year, next new episode, new video episodes of Bill Simmons' podcast
00:00:59.240
and several other podcasts produced by The Ringer, which Spotify owns,
00:01:02.480
will be available on the Netflix episode as well.
00:01:06.360
It's a big deal because the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox of baseball haven't changed.
00:01:16.680
And there are new Yankees and new Dodgers and new Red Sox and Netflixes.
00:01:20.620
Once upon a time, they were talked about very dismissively.
00:01:27.980
Oh, that's just a little group of rebels at the border, as if they were just there.
00:01:37.440
Now those rebels have a valuation that dwarfs some of those old kingdoms.
00:01:45.600
They're in deep, and they're trying to win the Warner Discovery battle.
00:01:51.180
And also, there's a lot going on in the podcast.
00:01:54.380
You've got the Red Ventures group that's aligned with Fox that's been out there buying people.
00:02:00.620
Now they've come out and made their draft picks, and they're signing free agents.
00:02:08.120
All those, the ones you just mentioned from Pardon My Take and The Ringer.
00:02:13.400
And then across town, they also went across town and went and spoke to the Breakfast Club and Bobby Bones because they made a deal with iHeartMedia to bring some of the iHeartMedia audio podcasts over to the video world.
00:02:29.760
So Netflix is signing free agents and trying to establish the video podcast beachhead because the new wars are there.
00:02:39.900
And the new Yankees is paramount with the Ellison money.
00:02:43.540
The new Dodgers is Netflix and what they've grown up to be.
00:02:47.640
And, you know, that's what – and the new Red Sox, you could argue they're another Yankees, is YouTube TV.
00:02:53.300
And YouTube's got the money, but YouTube hasn't gone out and, like, paid a bunch of exclusives for people.
00:02:58.100
They've built the platform that's built everybody there.
00:03:01.060
But as podcasts are increasingly – I was reading that podcasts are now 71% viewed video is what's going on.
00:03:14.240
So it's not just, oh, just get the TuneIn app or get the iHeart app or get your podcast app.
00:03:22.760
And Netflix is signing free agents and staking their claim to the future.
00:03:28.580
That's the number one team in the league in the NBA.
00:03:39.060
If you haven't heard the news, I'm proud to announce that Barstool is partnered with Netflix for three of our top podcasts.
00:03:46.240
Exclusive video only on Netflix starting next year.
00:03:50.120
I'm talking you want to watch a video, part of my take, Netflix.
00:03:53.540
You want to watch a video of spit and chiclets?
00:03:58.820
You want to watch a video of Ryan Rosselló's show?
00:04:09.380
We're proud to partner in one of the best in breed companies.
00:04:24.020
So do they only have three podcasts on the market?
00:04:35.140
I mean, not only has he built a brand, he's the main face of the brand.
00:04:41.660
I mean, PBD, there's not many guys like you and him out there that start an organization,
00:05:01.960
How much do you think the deal is with Netflix?
00:05:04.120
Okay, I think it's a test deal for those three, but I think it's probably a three-year test deal,
00:05:09.000
and I think it's probably definitely nine figures that Netflix is putting out there
00:05:14.840
And remember what Sirius did to get a beachhead?
00:05:19.900
They went after Howard Stern, and they arguably overpaid for Howard Stern.
00:05:24.700
That thing didn't pay off, supposedly, that I read for 10 years,
00:05:27.580
but they went out and paid Howard a lot of money because they needed anchors.
00:05:30.880
And I think Netflix is going out, and it would not surprise me to see that this was a nine-figure deal
00:05:36.700
over the three years to get this because it's what Netflix wants to do with The Magnet,
00:05:42.220
and now they've also gone out, and they've got Breakfast Club and a couple others
00:05:45.720
as viewership of podcasts is now 70 percent, the number that I read, video, video,
00:06:05.540
And those people, Tommy, if they don't have Netflix now, they have to subscribe.
00:06:11.940
If you wanted Howard Stern, you had to go get Sirius XM.
00:06:17.980
Would you like to see PBD and the team move the podcast to Netflix?
00:06:34.300
Vinny's got a special announcement that I want Vinny to share with you guys.
00:06:38.800
So, guys, as you guys know, the Faith Over Fear line, we had the Faith Over Fear shirt.
00:06:53.700
Rob, can you click on the hat and show the pictures?
00:07:01.780
But, guys, you can see the future looks bright on the bottom.
00:07:12.600
And I just want, like, this is, like, every time something like this happens, like, the hats finally come in, we're at a pivotal place where, right now, with everything that's happening with Christians in Nigeria, as you're seeing what's happening in Europe, you're seeing what's happening in Australia, the enemy wants us to be afraid.
00:07:29.100
Australia, France, Germany, they just canceled all their Christmas celebrations, all their freaking New Year stuff because they're afraid.
00:07:36.160
I'm telling you guys right now, I've said this before.
00:07:38.120
In the Bible, 365 times, it says, do not fear, okay?
00:07:45.160
And when it comes to having faith in Christ, there's one story that I want to say, and you know this.
00:07:49.820
In Matthew chapter 20, I think, verse 9, or 9, verse 20 to 22, Jesus is walking through Galilee.
00:08:02.000
And there was a woman that had an issue of bleeding for 12 years.
00:08:05.140
They believe it was like a menstrual situation.
00:08:07.860
She says to herself, and this is in Scripture, all I have to do is touch the hem of his robe, and I'll be healed, okay?
00:08:15.560
So she crawls through this crowd, and she just reaches and touches a string that's hanging off Jesus' robe.
00:08:21.640
And he stops in the crowd, and he goes, who touched me, all right?
00:08:25.440
And Peter and everybody's like, Jesus, everybody's touching.
00:08:34.280
And he looks, and the woman is on the floor instantly healed, and she's crying, Pat.
00:08:38.680
And she stands up, and she goes, Jesus, you healed me.
00:08:41.460
And he looks at her and goes, I didn't heal you.
00:08:58.180
He said because it was their disbelief, because they didn't believe.
00:09:02.000
So your faith is what creates the miracles in your life.
00:09:05.420
And I think this hat is that message, and this is letting everybody know.
00:09:11.280
I wear it proud, and I want people to know that.
00:09:16.080
And, you know, you can go to vteemerge.com, place the order, get the hat, get the shirt, get the shoe.
00:09:22.240
Yesterday I had these pastors that flew in from Australia, and he said the most powerful line.
00:09:28.080
His name is Martin Sidro and his wife Millicent.
00:09:31.880
And he says, when I was a kid, and my dad and I were talking about becoming a pastor one day, he says, my father told us one thing.
00:09:45.120
You have to be very strong about your faith that you have.
00:09:47.700
So for those of you that are comfortable this Christmas season, New Year's season, going into 2026 with faith, put that on.
00:09:55.500
You'd be amazed how many people stop by and say, hey, man, I'm with you.
00:09:59.360
I love the stories of just winks with people that are, you know, fans of the show or, you know, they're looking at each other like, man, you're also a future looks bright.
00:10:12.520
So go place the order or two or three and gift it to some of the people in your community.
