fe. And if you'd like to take this up to a level that people can barely understand with their tiny human brains, all you need is a copper mug or glass, a tankard, a chalice or stein, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's…

Well, you might be aware that Barstool Sports is going to be moving to some kind of a special deal with Rumble. And so Rumble stock was way up on the news the last two days. It's pulling back a little bit today, but that's expected because it was up over, I think it was up over 50 percent in two days. I'm a stockholder, so full disclosure, when I say nice things about Rumble I am also an investor. Small one. I don't have much, just you know, my little investment.
However, as Dave Rubin points out, Rumble has also just launched to the public its Rumble Studio. Why is that a big deal? How many people are business model nerds? Do I have any business model nerds? Where you hear of a new clever way to do business and you say, oh that is so cool. Yeah, a lot of you business model nerds. That's what I am.

So if you're going to use the Rumble Studio it connects to all the other platforms. Well, the four platforms: Rumble, Locals, X, and YouTube at the moment. I think you can add others. So the point is there's literally one place you can go to now where you can do reliable streaming on the other platforms and you can split screen and take guests. So now even if your platform doesn't allow that, the Rumble Studio will let you do it and then the platform just shows the show.
So where Locals could not do an interview before, now it can. You just have to go through the Rumble Studio. So for you nerds about business models, this is really brilliant. It's brilliant because it s

ort of guarantees that if you're going to stream anywhere for free you just get extra money by including the other platforms and just push the button and they're live like I just did. So right now I am live on the Rumble Studio on YouTube and Rumble and X so you can see how it works. It turns out that there's a new graph. Paul Graham posted this on X.
