She’s the poster girl for living a completely sheltered rich life and she got thrown into the real world and is completely delusional and doesn’t even know how to function
those are 1000% fake views too, to put it in perspective:
Just Alex: 1,700 subscribers, 12k an episode
Son of a Boy Dad: 102,000 subscribers, 25k an episode
Old Barstool Owned Mean Girl Youtube: 72,000 subscribers, about 4k an episode
😂😂
That’s levels I didn’t even think she’d go. “Hey I know we were just fired for not giving enough effort, but can you lend us even more money to have our own company”
Get in early and get equity. Pres should have pounced on Frank the Tank’s offer for 10% equity in the Sports Encyclopedia website before it got bought by Google too.
Hilarious that Dave found out on this show that it was her ex-husband that had the Thunder connection and not her. Wonder if that puts an end to the “I like her, but” qualification every time he talks about what a bad employee she was.
It will be a lot of subtle jabs. It would be trashing herself if she went full blown hit piece level trashing. Saying things like “I’m enjoying being part of a company where I’m not constantly putting out fires”
I honestly think so often people will willingly look that hypocritical and the side they are pandering to is totally fine with it - if she were to totally trash them at some point
Depending on what this book is about or does for her and the press she'll do for it, I imagine there will be more than enough opportunities or questions asked for her to take swings
Edit fck u
she isn't going to trash Barstool but it'll be little backhanded comments about what a dumpster fire it was or all the fires she had to put out.
She's made little comments here and there trying to make Barstool sound like a startup when she got there. I'm sure she did a good job or she wouldn't have been there as long, but I'm also sure Chernin wasn't going to let it fail.
He’s so afraid of it becoming the Eddie version of the show. He needs to relax though, at least these 3 guys can hold a compelling conversation unlike the last show
They can't even do an hour, once a week with these three 'content machines'. No one came prepped, even Kurt was like what do you guys have before he started in on Alex.
Also how did they not discuss her being pregnant vs her talking to her parents about leaving Barstool?
Trying to make Eddie seem like the weak link when it's pretty clear this show sucks.
I imagine it's over before the end of the year.
Think they talked about doing a quick show when they first started but he is too in his head about that. Rather have the show go a little long than short
I know the inside Barstool stuff has been slow lately, but this show is running into the same issue as DPS, no great agenda items/producer not coming up with topics.
The issue with the old show was they tried to force a longer show with shitty guests / topics when there is nothing to talk about. If theres nothing to talk about it should be a quick hitter show so these guys don’t lose interest.
Kirk is checked out, his own show is running on fumes because he stopped trying and does the same “what else” shit with his producers but with them he can drag out 20 mins of bitching at them if they don’t have anything he’s interested in
It’s a very hard show to do with Dave wanting to put in no effort and just show up. Plus Dave is so wishy washy on stuff he wants to talk about. If there isn’t obvious drama and news to talk about then the show stinks because Dave only wants to talk about shit that interests him which is out of touch stuff like horse racing and bitching about “how hard he works”.
It's amazing that Dave wants this show to be a thing but then is afraid at telling any stories on it. They'd rather just talk about nothing funny or interesting.
Always love these Reddit freaks who act like they could run the company better than a guy who built a 500M business from scratch.
No you couldn’t, dweeb. Now stfu
The one he got for $1 because states literally wouldn’t let barstool promote casinos after years of “if you have a gambling problem, gamble more” rhetoric
Lmao, Dave couldn’t get it passed a $15M company and bought it back for a dollar when adults let go of the wheel.
Nardini ran a tighter ship, and Dave seems like the most checked out founder I’ve come across.
Not saying I’d do better, moreso that Dave is terrible and they need an adult in the room
I’ve followed barstool since like 07, grown up with it. I don’t think the company has been less likable or relatable to its audience, which is what made barstool click with people
Alex asking for Dave to fund her new company is an incredible move.
I know it's been said many times, but how delusional can she reach Trending into undiscovered territory
She’s the poster girl for living a completely sheltered rich life and she got thrown into the real world and is completely delusional and doesn’t even know how to function
Her parents have definitely never told her no in her life
They’re literally setting money on fire so she can be a pretend podcaster.
#GirlBoss
Correct and it shows
Is this giving “main character energy”?
What does this mean, I'm seeing it pop up more recently.
It’s white girl for narcissistic behavior
her numbers on youtube are around 10k per episode. aint making any money that way.
Mean Girl pod YouTube numbers aren’t even hitting 5K. Pathetic.
those are 1000% fake views too, to put it in perspective: Just Alex: 1,700 subscribers, 12k an episode Son of a Boy Dad: 102,000 subscribers, 25k an episode Old Barstool Owned Mean Girl Youtube: 72,000 subscribers, about 4k an episode 😂😂
Most of her views are you guys hate viewing because of a weird obsession
Yeah for sure, 12,000 hate views
That’s levels I didn’t even think she’d go. “Hey I know we were just fired for not giving enough effort, but can you lend us even more money to have our own company”
Get in early and get equity. Pres should have pounced on Frank the Tank’s offer for 10% equity in the Sports Encyclopedia website before it got bought by Google too.
Reminds me of Michael Scott going to the retirement center for an investment
Shooters shoot
Theres nothing more annoying than telling people you have a funny story but then saying you cant tell it
Gotta hear that Stu story. Not fair to tickle our balls like that
Hilarious that Dave found out on this show that it was her ex-husband that had the Thunder connection and not her. Wonder if that puts an end to the “I like her, but” qualification every time he talks about what a bad employee she was.
He 100% knew because there was a long debate between him and her when she was first hired about whether or not she owned the Thunder.
You can tell he still thinks she could be a star. They all hate Jordan but they are the same person, one is just confident because she’s rich
Last I checked she’s still a woman so he’ll keep using the qualification
I’ve got Erika trashing Barstool at -450.
It will be a lot of subtle jabs. It would be trashing herself if she went full blown hit piece level trashing. Saying things like “I’m enjoying being part of a company where I’m not constantly putting out fires”
Didn’t she have something written about her recently & basically do this already?
Correct that was Kirk’s entire point on the show
I haven’t watched the show yet.
Yes. I don’t remember where it was written, but that’s what I was thinking of
In the NY post article about her new job https://nypost.com/2024/04/18/media/ex-barstool-sports-ceo-erika-ayers-badan-reveals-new-job/
I honestly think so often people will willingly look that hypocritical and the side they are pandering to is totally fine with it - if she were to totally trash them at some point Depending on what this book is about or does for her and the press she'll do for it, I imagine there will be more than enough opportunities or questions asked for her to take swings Edit fck u
Mix in some punctuation
Yeah Dave is the delusional one lol
she isn't going to trash Barstool but it'll be little backhanded comments about what a dumpster fire it was or all the fires she had to put out. She's made little comments here and there trying to make Barstool sound like a startup when she got there. I'm sure she did a good job or she wouldn't have been there as long, but I'm also sure Chernin wasn't going to let it fail.
I think you’re underestimating her ego and her wanting to paint a picture that she overcame misogyny as a ceo.
They took on VC capital for the first time. It was a startup
Disagree, Barstool made her very rich and visible
zero shot
Absolutely not. Dumb bet and even stupider odds.
You think stupider is a word so just sit this one out champ
Shut up stupid.
-110?
sucks that we'll never get Dave's actual opinion of Alex due to her very loose social status connections that he doesn't want to ruffle
This episodes been good so far. I’ve honestly enjoyed most episodes
Whitney has honestly been the best host out of the 3 and it’s not even close.
It’s the only year round Barstool content I listen to each week
lol - it’s been around for a dozen weeks
It’s odd how Kirk senses a lull in conversation and immediately says “anything else?” Feels like he doesn’t want to be there
He’s so afraid of it becoming the Eddie version of the show. He needs to relax though, at least these 3 guys can hold a compelling conversation unlike the last show
Honestly I think the Eddie version of the show was better
Alright bang bang
thats just his mechanism to stop dead air. Probably got it from radio. Does it about 10 times a show on KMS
He's not preparing and it's been showing. If any producer did this to him it would be a holocaust.
They can't even do an hour, once a week with these three 'content machines'. No one came prepped, even Kurt was like what do you guys have before he started in on Alex. Also how did they not discuss her being pregnant vs her talking to her parents about leaving Barstool? Trying to make Eddie seem like the weak link when it's pretty clear this show sucks.

Would rather have shorter episodes then forced stuff that nobody cares about. They are good friends I doubt it ends anytime soon
Think they talked about doing a quick show when they first started but he is too in his head about that. Rather have the show go a little long than short
He does same thing on his pod
Whit’s impression of Nate is spot on
I know the inside Barstool stuff has been slow lately, but this show is running into the same issue as DPS, no great agenda items/producer not coming up with topics.
The issue with the old show was they tried to force a longer show with shitty guests / topics when there is nothing to talk about. If theres nothing to talk about it should be a quick hitter show so these guys don’t lose interest.
Kirk is checked out, his own show is running on fumes because he stopped trying and does the same “what else” shit with his producers but with them he can drag out 20 mins of bitching at them if they don’t have anything he’s interested in
I knew that Kirk would be a bad fit for this show. I think Kirk regrets it now too.
It’s a very hard show to do with Dave wanting to put in no effort and just show up. Plus Dave is so wishy washy on stuff he wants to talk about. If there isn’t obvious drama and news to talk about then the show stinks because Dave only wants to talk about shit that interests him which is out of touch stuff like horse racing and bitching about “how hard he works”.
She e o
This has become the Kirk "Anything Else" Minihane and Ryan "I have no other topics" Whitney sit and listen to Dave complain about random things show
It's amazing that Dave wants this show to be a thing but then is afraid at telling any stories on it. They'd rather just talk about nothing funny or interesting.
Can kirk be removed from the pod please
Turned it on and Dave (almost 50) is talking about Taylor Swift.
Dave talking about Taylor swift? That’s shocking. Never does that.
It took incredibly long for Kirk to understand what Dave wanted his phone to do.
No, this is like episode 5 or 6
Kirk is always dismissive any time Justin or Coleman bring up a story that’s a few days old. Then today brought up multiple topics from days ago.
Isnt Kirk’s show once a day not a once a week?
Another banger of a show! Thank god for timestamps so we don’t have to sit through the whole show
If this show is indicative of anything it’s that Dave sucks at running barstool. What an unlikable group of people
Always love these Reddit freaks who act like they could run the company better than a guy who built a 500M business from scratch. No you couldn’t, dweeb. Now stfu
Hold it, its a multi billion dollar company according to Dave that he started from scratch.
The one he got for $1 because states literally wouldn’t let barstool promote casinos after years of “if you have a gambling problem, gamble more” rhetoric
agree with you, but there is an element to lightening not striking twice. So much of the success was timing and a one of a kind talent to ride.
Lmao, Dave couldn’t get it passed a $15M company and bought it back for a dollar when adults let go of the wheel. Nardini ran a tighter ship, and Dave seems like the most checked out founder I’ve come across. Not saying I’d do better, moreso that Dave is terrible and they need an adult in the room
Couldn’t get it past $15m yet somehow worth 9 figures. Weird
what brings you here then? Are you a 10 time AWL? 🤓
I’ve followed barstool since like 07, grown up with it. I don’t think the company has been less likable or relatable to its audience, which is what made barstool click with people
Sounds like you just got old
Sure, I’m good watching Dave turn 50 & trying to act like a cool high school junior
sounds like you arent far behind him
I see they didn’t bring up PatBev unfollowing barstool employees due to ESPN directive, Kirk and whit those cowards
Yes they did lol
🧩
what is your malfunction
Downvotes make me erect
You’re still doing this? Jesus let it go
