Transcript

I've never seen a better example in my life of what it should look like when a girl is your number one fan than this video I just watched. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling. It's a video of Renee Portnoy, Dave Portnoy's ex wife, talking about him. And there's this one point where she gets asked to describe Dave in three words. It shivers shivers because it's literally literally it is, though. It's this is how it should feel when you have a girlfriend who is your number one fan. Coming up, Dave. How would you still update in three words or a couple of sentences, I guess, if you can? No how would I describe Dave? He is relentless, but, like, in the best way possible. Relentlessly trying for what he believes in and relentlessly standing up for his side of things, which can go both ways, but he's relentless. And his relentless dedication to building this company and, to building the brand is like, like I said before, it's like superhero status. This no one else could have done what he did. Dave's also the most loyal guy you'll ever meet. Like, if you're in Dave's circle, like, he would do anything, anything, anything for you. And he's the funniest guy ever. I haven't found anyone as funny best Dave.
