00:00:00 Last week there was a lot of "we're adults, we don't need to be told where to sit"
00:00:04 and then everybody came in today and said exactly where the seating chart told them to.
00:00:08 I'm worried that when the full Chicago move happens, the way that the New York City office
00:00:14 is currently structured compared to the way the Chicago office will be structured, we
00:00:19 will be left in the dust in New York City.
00:00:21 But what do you mean left in the dust?
00:00:22 We'll just be one of as much fun?
00:00:24 No, it's not about fun, just about...
00:00:26 Output?
00:00:27 Funding.
00:00:28 The way we're viewed, the way it looks on social, the way people pay attention to Chicago
00:00:37 compared to New York, I think.
00:00:39 But you can't always control the way that you're viewed.
00:00:41 As an office, I think we should be more hands-on in ensuring our survival.
00:00:45 I know you've had these similar conversations I've had.
00:00:48 Yeah, but I'm not like...
00:00:50 If you want to talk about it, you have to talk about your conversations too.
00:00:53 My perspective is not doom and gloom about it.
00:00:55 I'm like, "Oh, this is a weird opinion."
00:00:57 I'm trying to be proactive instead of reactive.
00:00:59 So what would you do proactively?
00:01:01 You can't just hammer me about the details when I know you've had these exact same conversations
00:01:06 to be proactive.
00:01:07 But I'm going to talk about those conversations.
00:01:09 I just don't want them to say, "All right, wash our hands, office, Ikea couches, Connect4,
00:01:15 we're done."
00:01:16 Right?
00:01:17 And so you think that that's a half-assed rebranding?
00:01:19 You agree with that?
00:01:20 The couches and Connect4 has been a success.
00:01:23 I don't like when people complain without a better plan.
00:01:27 I am being proactive on that.
00:01:29 I am gathering information from everybody in the office about what we need and want
00:01:35 and could use, and I'm relaying this to the powers that be.
00:01:39 I want to speak for the people who are scared to speak.
00:01:42 I can't throw business for people under the bus.
00:01:45 It's not my role.
00:01:46 It's not my job.
00:01:47 What?
00:01:48 To throw business for people under the bus.
00:01:50 Why?
00:01:51 What happened?
00:01:52 You can't say it.
00:01:53 There's cameras on.
00:01:55 But I can't do it.
00:01:56 That's where you were so good on radio.
00:01:58 You held people accountable.
00:01:59 What happened?
00:02:00 I went on Yak yesterday and they wanted me to trash the business floor, and I was like,
00:02:04 "I'm not going to do that."
00:02:05 For what?
00:02:06 To be competent.
00:02:08 But I'm not going to do that.
00:02:11 Why?
00:02:12 Not my role.
00:02:13 Dave doesn't want me to be the dog.
00:02:15 He wants me to be Zen.
00:02:16 I'll be Zen.
00:02:17 Whatever the leader says.
00:02:18 What do you think this meeting is about?
00:02:20 Five more years of Dave.
00:02:21 No, it's probably CEO.
00:02:22 No, Robbie's CEO.
00:02:23 Yeah, we're talking Robbie's CEO.
00:02:24 It's obviously cheap content.
00:02:25 If you think this isn't good news, you're insane.
00:02:28 I think it's definitely not good news.
00:02:30 Dave wouldn't be doing wacky bits with me if it was bad news.
00:02:33 You mark this footage, and then once they make this good news announcement in a few hours,
00:02:39 you find me.
00:02:40 I'll give you the Jim Halpert smirk, like Tony himself.
00:02:42 I hope you're right, Mr. Collins.
00:02:44 I am right.
00:02:45 I'm always right.
00:02:46 What's the big announcement?
00:02:47 I'm using it.
00:02:49 You ain't going nowhere.
00:02:51 You're staying.
00:02:52 Why would that be?
00:02:53 Why wouldn't it be?
00:02:54 It's a pretty big announcement.
00:02:56 A year and a half away.
00:02:58 Why can't you just say it now?
00:03:00 So nobody's panicking.
00:03:01 That's totally it.
00:03:03 I think it's to go over the seating situation that happened this week.
00:03:07 No, I think it's because he resigned.
00:03:09 You think so?
00:03:10 Yeah.
00:03:11 Robbie Fox is the new CEO.
00:03:12 That's the other rumor going around.
00:03:14 Is those the rumors?
00:03:15 It's either Dave resigned or Robbie's the new CEO.
00:03:17 Someone else had.
00:03:19 I got a million texts about why we're having a company meeting,
00:03:22 which is kind of crazy.
00:03:23 We're just having a company meeting.
00:03:24 Well, I mean, you're here for the first time in six months.
00:03:26 Dave's here.
00:03:28 Erica was in a pretty good mood yesterday, which is strange.
00:03:31 So there's something going on.
00:03:33 It seems like this is bigger than just a company meeting.
00:03:35 People are rumbling about me.
00:03:37 Because the Fox man is in the mix.
00:03:39 The Fox man did his hair.
00:03:40 He's ready to go.
00:03:41 It's different because we're usually given notice.
00:03:44 And today it's just like, hey, by the way,
00:03:45 there's an important meeting earnings call tomorrow.
00:03:47 Gaz took the meeting after the market closes.
00:03:51 Yeah.
00:03:52 Just earnings is today.
00:03:54 I got some facts.
00:03:55 You know, we follow.
00:03:56 Dave's here.
00:03:57 You're here.
00:03:58 Erica.
00:04:00 I'm here.
00:04:01 We'll smile.
00:04:02 You can tell me.
00:04:03 Don't you think Big Cat will be here?
00:04:05 No.
00:04:06 No.
00:04:07 Honestly, if it's the New York office, if it's not involving him,
00:04:11 why would he shut it down?
00:04:12 Well, not yet.
00:04:14 Get this wall repainted.
00:04:17 You're the CEO.
00:04:18 You tell us.
00:04:19 Yeah.
00:04:24 Wow.
00:04:25 What are you going to do?
00:04:26 We'll take that.
00:04:28 We'll take that offline.
00:04:29 You're staying.
00:04:30 I'll take over.
00:04:31 Oh, you're taking Jay's job.
00:04:33 You're going to tell me she's staying.
00:04:34 No, she's staying.
00:04:35 Oh, I'm out.
00:04:36 Okay.
00:04:41 Announcement time.
00:04:44 Kind of a big one, so a shocker, I would actually say.
00:04:48 So as of this moment -- and we're going to put up a little press release in a
00:04:52 little bit, and Penn just did it -- we are no longer a Penn company.
00:04:55 We've gone separate ways.
00:04:57 I bought back Barstool, so I own all of it now.
00:05:00 [Applause]
00:05:08 So a lot of people who wanted to work with Penn because they had an
00:05:11 opportunity with ESPN, it ended up being really good for us and probably a
00:05:15 spot we want to be anywhere.
00:05:17 Anywhere, excuse me, where we can go back to just being ourselves.
00:05:19 We don't have to worry about what we say, what we do.
00:05:22 I have no plans ever to sell Barstool again.
00:05:26 I've already made the money that I need to make.
00:05:29 This is just a place where I want it to be the best content on the Internet.
00:05:35 And funny people working hard, and that's all you'll work with.
00:05:38 Rico Barstool on vacation.
00:05:40 [Laughter]
00:05:42 That type of shit won't fly.
00:05:44 That's how Rico is now on a year-to-year contract for the next thousand years.
00:05:48 I can't stress this enough.
00:05:50 This is a very good day for Barstool and everybody here.
00:05:53 Work hard, do your job well, and this should be a happy, fun place to work,
00:05:58 as much as the mates of the world can make it work.
00:06:02 The big thing is go make content, be great at it, have fun.
00:06:06 This is an electric, amazing place to work.
00:06:08 This is a once-in-a-lifetime story.
00:06:10 So I think this is great.
00:06:12 It's a very good day for Barstool, for sure.
00:06:14 So thank you, and to another million years.
00:06:17 [Applause]
00:06:19 [Music]
00:06:25 Everybody was doom and gloom this morning.
00:06:27 I said, "It's going to be good. It's going to be good. It's going to be good."
00:06:29 Nobody believed me.
00:06:30 8-8, good day. Good day at Barstool Sports.
00:06:33 [Laughter]
00:06:36 I'm fucking right. Let's go.
00:06:39 Holy shit, you're saying team Portnoy?
00:06:41 Great day to be at team Portnoy, man.
00:06:43 We've never had a meal together.
00:06:46 We've never.
00:06:47 You are invited.
00:06:48 I would love to.
00:06:50 It's not going to be me and you, so.
00:06:52 God, it's so good to be back.
00:06:54 People hate me at the stock market. I'm 30%.
00:06:57 Is DTG back now?
00:07:00 Well, that wasn't why it wasn't back. I had no money.
00:07:03 Dave, you told me to come back.
00:07:05 Of course.
00:07:06 Yes.
00:07:07 [Laughter]
00:07:09 I'll probably have to negotiate with him versus myself.
00:07:12 Vince-y.
00:07:13 Holy shit, that was like, I'm like floating down the interstate right now, guys.
00:07:18 So you're coming back, right?
00:07:21 Fucking A, I'm coming back.
00:07:24 I mean, that's even a question.
00:07:27 I told you I took brick watch over those other offers.
00:07:30 You were always my guy, always.
00:07:33 Well, you're back.
00:07:36 There's no chance in hell I'm not.
00:07:39 I can't even tell you how happy I am right now.
00:07:42 And I just appreciate you giving me this opportunity.
00:07:44 And I feel like I'm floating in space.
00:07:48 All right, well, we'll get it all papered up.
00:07:52 We'll just switch it from brick back to barstool.
00:07:55 And we're good to go.
00:07:57 Done. All right.
00:07:59 Mincy's back.
00:08:00 Fucking love it. I love it.
00:08:02 Oh, my God, I can't believe it. What a summer.
00:08:05 Thank you so much for everything.
00:08:07 And like I said, my dad almost started crying when I gave him that watch.
00:08:10 It meant so much to him.
00:08:12 Yeah, it was a little blurry, but you could see the tears through the fog.
00:08:15 But Mincy's back.
00:08:16 We're back. Just right. I love it.
00:08:18 You said that just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.
00:08:20 Like I said, in the gleece and then he had to.
00:08:22 I thought that you said that.
00:08:23 Yeah. All right. I'll talk to you soon.
00:08:25 We're back, baby. We're back. Oh, my gosh.
00:08:27 All right, let's do it. Get away.
00:08:29 All right.
00:08:31 I don't even know how it came to be.
00:08:38 It came to me quickly.
00:08:39 So, like, the pen had to go a different direction because of the regulatory shit, which I get.
00:08:45 I want to make sure barstool's, you know, barstool.
00:08:49 The opportunity basically arose for me to fucking buy it.
00:08:51 And I bought it.
00:08:52 And now, you know, the Nate's of the world are fucking safe because who knows what would happen.
00:08:58 And, you know, Dave was barstool lists ecosystem and all these little people out there.
00:09:03 I mean, Glennie Balls, Nate Dogg.
00:09:06 We got a lot of people there who have no life skills, maybe outside these doors.
00:09:10 Bosco.
00:09:11 Bosco.
00:09:12 Bosco.
00:09:13 Bosco is going to have to fight for his salary.
00:09:17 That was sort of the incentive.
00:09:20 Me and Dan were talking like we do this.
00:09:22 Bosco is then on the hook to like beg for his fucking supper every single year.
00:09:26 So I'm excited about that, especially no more three three week vacations for Bosco.
00:09:31 That's it.
00:09:33 Yeah, it's a great day.
00:09:34 I've been talking about that for six months, like about how once my thing's done, I'm out.
00:09:38 Ken's going to look down the roster and go, who's here at Nate's?
00:09:42 Cross me off.
00:09:44 Yeah.
00:09:45 He's another guy probably.
00:09:46 Ken would have been like, all we hear is how dumb.
00:09:49 Well, he hired him a long time ago.
00:09:51 What time is it right now?
00:10:00 945.
00:10:01 945.
00:10:03 We've got a couple of people over here.
00:10:06 These motherfuckers don't show up.
00:10:08 I'm all in the office for a fucking week.
00:10:10 What the fuck are these idiots doing?
00:10:13 This is a disaster.
00:10:15 And we're not talking about Cy Young and Ted Williams.
00:10:18 We're talking about Smitty, Glennie, Marty, Tommy.
00:10:23 This section over here, if they died, nobody would notice.
00:10:28 And they can't fucking get in here.
00:10:30 I'm sorry.
00:10:33 The whole fucking place is empty.
00:10:35 I've been with the company for less than 24 hours and nobody's here.
00:10:39 That's crazy.
00:10:41 What time did you get in?
00:10:43 9.
00:10:44 You weren't in until 9.
00:10:45 No, I got in at 5.
00:10:47 Ha, why? First day.
00:10:49 You can't beat me in?
00:10:50 No.
00:10:51 I took you to dinner?
00:10:52 What the fuck, man?
00:10:53 You complain about everybody else.
00:10:55 Now this place is dead, a fucking ghost town.
00:10:58 How was dinner last night?
00:10:59 Dinner was really good.
00:11:00 Looked lovely.
00:11:01 We had a really good time.
00:11:02 Yesterday was a great day.
00:11:04 I ended up being correct about everything.
00:11:06 Dinner was lovely.
00:11:07 We had some sushi, some steak, some bread, some drinks.
00:11:10 Came in a little late today and back at the bottom.
00:11:14 Yeah, I know.
00:11:16 You weren't here either.
00:11:17 Nobody was here.
00:11:18 What time did you get in?
00:11:21 Keeks, you weren't in.
00:11:23 Caroline, not in.
00:11:24 Nobody was in.
00:11:25 What were you shooting?
00:11:26 What were you shooting?
00:11:27 What were you shooting?
00:11:28 We shot something at 9 a.m. in Dumbo.
00:11:31 Alright.
00:11:32 And please.
00:11:33 Okay, good.
00:11:34 Probably the last one in, but I probably did way more work this morning than any of the people here.
00:11:38 If my train got here at 10 o'clock, you should have seen the strides I was making.
00:11:42 There was nobody in there.
00:11:43 That place was dead-ass empty.
00:11:45 Day one of Mione, and no one could show up.
00:11:48 Bobby Fox got diarrhea.
00:11:49 That's like fucking Tommy Lights.
00:11:51 I don't like driving early because of traffic.
00:11:55 What?
00:11:56 I don't feel like you're writing down.
00:11:58 I'm taking notes, baby.
00:11:59 No, I'm trying to see what I'm on in the rundown.
00:12:01 Quite the fall from grace.
00:12:03 CEO one day, the next, diarrhea.
00:12:06 That's what happens.
00:12:08 Even CEOs get diarrhea.
00:12:10 Shit happens.
00:12:12 And we walk in, no one's fucking eating.
00:12:16 No one.
00:12:17 It was so stunningly silent.
00:12:19 Give me like a 15 count, and then we're good.
00:12:22 Exactly.
00:12:23 I mean, he's awesome.
00:12:24 He's awesome.
00:12:25 We've been working for that show now.
00:12:27 That's what you should do.
00:12:29 You should be fucking on the hump.
00:12:31 That's the type of what I expected to see.
00:12:34 You're busting around.
00:12:36 You're literally busting your head.
00:12:38 Smitty wrote seven blogs in all of July.
00:12:42 I just emailed you the whole list.
00:12:44 What else does he do?
00:12:45 Nothing, right?
00:12:46 He just stayed home, so he's just doing nothing.
00:12:48 He's robbing us.
00:12:49 Occasionally comes in for Pick Central.
00:12:51 He's robbing us.
00:12:52 Smitty's robbing us.
00:12:53 We're getting robbed by Smitty.
00:12:55 Smitty, God bless him, he said Penn offered him four months
00:12:59 maternity leave.
00:13:01 That's a good gig, so I don't know.
00:13:03 A major change is going to be, I told Smitty, you're not a stay-at-home dad
00:13:08 of working.
00:13:09 That's out.
00:13:10 If you want to stay at home, go work somewhere else.
00:13:12 But either be in the office or don't work here.
00:13:15 If you're Nate Dog, Tommy Smokes, the loser pen, you better fucking be here.
00:13:21 He should almost want to be here.
00:13:23 You don't have any appreciation at all.
00:13:27 You're just taking this all for granted.
00:13:29 That's what this shows.
00:13:30 It's more that it just kind of--it's like you showed your true colors a little bit
00:13:34 where it's like there wasn't one part of your brain that said, like,
00:13:37 "I should be there," or "I want to be there."
00:13:40 I work from home in the morning, then I got here at 10:30.
00:13:43 But I think the vibe should be like, "I'm going to work at the office today
00:13:46 because it's day one of the new--."
00:13:48 Yeah, but obviously in retrospect, yeah, sure.
00:13:51 Like, that's robbing.
00:13:52 That's stealing.
00:13:53 We can have Barstool Radio with me and Dave.
00:13:57 It could be Barstool Radio with Tommy and Riggs.
00:13:59 It could be on Sirius.
00:14:00 It could be on YouTube.
00:14:01 It can be new, old.
00:14:03 There's a running theme of just Smitty getting dunked on by somebody at some point.
00:14:06 I think we'll probably hear from him today.
00:14:08 I don't know for sure, but he was obviously the focal point of a lot of shit yesterday.
00:14:13 I've heard through the grapevine he is very, very pissed.
00:14:15 I don't know if he's in or wants to come in.
00:14:18 [overlapping chatter]
00:14:20 Here we go. Here we go.
00:14:21 General Smitty.
00:14:23 He's not here, Smitty. He's not here.
00:14:25 Remember when we moved to New York and everyone kind of like pretended to like me here
00:14:29 and I got you guys all these baseball bats?
00:14:31 I don't pretend to like you. I like you, Smitty.
00:14:35 So Dave has been going in on you.
00:14:39 Did you talk with him afterwards or was there any--?
00:14:43 No, I was going to talk with him today.
00:14:45 He texted me in Dave's style.
00:14:49 "What do you do here? You wrote seven bugs all of July.
00:14:51 Had a kid on May 29th and was on maternity leave until recently.
00:14:53 Will be blogging more, but things have been going on, blah, blah, blah.
00:14:56 Are you still on paternity leave?"
00:14:58 Not technically, but to be honest, like I probably should be.
00:15:02 I was offered 16 weeks by Penn and I said I only needed four to six.
00:15:06 Penn doesn't own Barstow anymore. I do.
00:15:09 And I expect people to earn their salaries.
00:15:10 I can't control A, when my kid's born, and B, what Penn offered and what I took for paternity leave.
00:15:16 I can't go back in time.
00:15:17 He's going to be like, "I don't give a fuck what Penn offered you or what you did take or didn't take."
00:15:22 He would, you know, throw his baby out the fucking garbage and come to work the next day.
00:15:26 I don't know. It seems a little tense on there.
00:15:28 Somebody walked in with a baseball bat.
00:15:30 It is brutal, but it's just kind of...
00:15:33 That is quite the intimidation factor.
00:15:35 Yeah, I mean, if any person is standing around holding a baseball bat in their hands for an hour,
00:15:40 I think people are going to be like, "What's going to happen?"
00:15:43 I wanted to talk to Dave today.
00:15:44 At this point, I mean, your history with Dave is a long-storied one.
00:15:50 Can I straighten up one thing that he said yesterday?
00:15:52 Yeah, that's what we're doing.
00:15:53 I don't give a fuck about Shower Dave.
00:15:55 I don't give a shit about that, and I've told him this a million and one times.
00:15:59 I don't care that you film me in the shower.
00:16:03 I don't give a fuck, Dave, that you film me in the shower.
00:16:06 Is that clear enough?
00:16:07 Dave Portnoy doesn't lie. He doesn't lie. He doesn't lie.
00:16:10 There's a lot of revisionist history when it comes to me.
00:16:12 Some of it's true, some of it's bad, some of it is just a little out there.
00:16:16 And I appreciate Dave. I love Dave.
00:16:19 I'm thankful for the opportunity that he has given me.
00:16:22 I will continue to fulfill my contract.
00:16:24 But Jesus Christ, especially when I have a family, and I'm trying to explain to him what's going on,
00:16:29 to weaponize social media against me like that, whether he meant to or not.
00:16:33 It sucked, and it sucks for my family.
00:16:35 It's going to be that way.
00:16:36 I know, I know, and that's what I signed up for when I started working here in 2011.
00:16:41 I don't know if I can do it after my contract.
00:16:45 Yeah, you're out?
00:16:46 I don't know. I'm going to have that discussion with my family.
00:16:50 You know what's so-- to clear something up, I live two and a half hours away,
00:16:54 and I've been up here pretty regularly ever since.
00:16:57 I live basically a half hour closer than Jeff Nadud, who never fucking came up.
00:17:01 Okay, so this is the point. I think this is Dave's point.
00:17:03 I get that. I sympathize with that.
00:17:06 But that is a choice you made to live far away from your job.
00:17:11 I know, I made that choice, which was approved in 2020.
00:17:15 When I was streaming and there was radio, and there was a difference,
00:17:18 and now three years later, shit's different.
00:17:19 But there's also a difference between approved and is this good for your career.
00:17:24 You made a work-life choice.
00:17:26 His point of view is that is neither here nor there because you just need to do more work.
00:17:31 That's fine.
00:17:32 But you make a choice between family and work, and one of them suffers,
00:17:36 and when work suffers, your boss is not going to be happy.
00:17:40 Honestly, is it fair? No.
00:17:42 I fucking lost a-- I had a failed marriage largely because of it.
00:17:48 It's a tough 24 hours. I'll get over it. I'll be fine, and we'll get back to normal.
00:17:53 I'm definitely-- I'll be here blogging.
00:17:56 I think that's all.
00:17:57 Terry Morton, he's always right.
00:17:58 For five years, I haven't come at him. Five years.
00:18:00 I'm not even coming at him now. I love Dave. I'm very grateful.
00:18:03 You came in here slamming the bat.
00:18:05 The bat!
00:18:06 I'm not coming at him. Let's put the bat down.
00:18:08 I think we'd all feel a little more comfortable if the bat went down.
00:18:11 Absolutely.
00:18:12 Hold on. Let me get this.
00:18:14 This is the only thing I found from my desk. Everything else is thrown out.
00:18:18 Oh, yeah. Joey apologizes for that. He threw out all your stuff.
00:18:21 Whether I'm here or not after three years, I'm here or not before then.
00:18:25 I'll figure it out. I'll be fine. I'm a big boy. I can take it.
00:18:28 It's just when things seemingly out of my control get exasperated like yesterday,
00:18:35 and it spills over.
00:18:36 If you do better at Barstool, it's worse at home.
00:18:40 And when you do more at home, it's worse at Barstool.
00:18:43 That's probably a lot of jobs, but it's very heightened here.
00:18:46 I'll put it out there again. I love Dave. I have no problems with him personally.
00:18:51 I thank him for everything. There you go, Dave. Thank you.
00:18:55 You want me to admit I'm the cherry case? I'm a charity case.
00:18:58 Sure, Dave. I admit it. I'm a charity case. There you go. Quote it.
00:19:02 All right.
00:19:03 As far--you know, when you are in the blender, it is not a fun time.
00:19:10 The other guy--
00:19:13 How do we think that went?
00:19:15 I don't really care.
00:19:17 Yeah, Rowan sent out an email. We're doing a video this week
00:19:21 to elect a new leader of the New York office.
00:19:24 Anyone is able to run that is in content, social, or production, I think.
00:19:28 It's going to be a week-long event, different ballots, different debates, campaigning.
00:19:33 And then on Thursday, we will elect a new leader of this New York office.
00:19:37 There's been a lot of debate about it. It's cute that we're doing this.
00:19:40 I think we all know who's going to win.
00:19:42 I guess I have to formally announce that I'm running.
00:19:44 But it's cute. If other people want to run, that's honestly so cute.
00:19:47 I'm going to do everything I can to rig it, obviously.
00:19:50 I'm running in a dictator-type role, and any doubters will be executed.
00:19:54 The president of the New York office--
00:19:56 We're electing.
00:19:57 --is that.
00:19:58 Well, who's on the table?
00:19:59 Tommy Meek-Phil.
00:20:01 Who's the second one?
00:20:02 Meek-Phil.
00:20:03 Definitely not him.
00:20:04 So, Tommy Meek-Phil.
00:20:06 Keegs.
00:20:07 Keegs.
00:20:08 Rico, I've heard some rumblings.
00:20:10 Rico.
00:20:11 Marty, with Clemmer as his PR guy.
00:20:13 Marty.
00:20:14 Not-- doesn't have my vote.
00:20:16 Not like Kevin?
00:20:17 Nope.
00:20:18 Hmm. I don't know. Tough election year.
00:20:20 I'm going to have to give Keegs my vote, I guess.
00:20:22 So I just got a text message from a random number, and they sent me this picture.
00:20:26 No, no.
00:20:28 Pretty damning evidence. I mean, there's a picture of it right there.
00:20:31 Listen, I've been waiting for this bomb to drop, and I understand how it looks.
00:20:34 It's not what it seems.
00:20:36 And I think that there's a smear campaign afoot amongst all of the candidates.
00:20:40 I'd like to know who's getting to the bottom of it.
00:20:42 I'd also like it on record that I am not running into this thing alongside or even in cahoots with Rico at all.
00:20:50 And I do feel like he may be behind all these smear campaigns.
00:20:54 That's just not something I want in my cabinet.
00:20:56 So if that ends up being the case, then he's out of luck.
00:20:59 This is the town hall for the election for the presidency of Barstool New York.
00:21:04 Coming in first, Kelly Keegs.
00:21:07 Then Tommy Smokes.
00:21:10 And then Marty Mush.
00:21:12 I think let's get into some opening statements.
00:21:14 Marty, why don't you go first?
00:21:16 I said not me.
00:21:18 First of all, yes, there is three candidates today.
00:21:21 Because none of you, not one person, cheered for me when I came out here.
00:21:25 And first of all, Kelly has been hanging out with Osama Bin Laden.
00:21:30 Tommy literally thinks he's Donald Trump.
00:21:34 He literally backed -- how many videos did you watch yesterday?
00:21:37 This is my statement you can't answer.
00:21:39 These people are eating each other alive.
00:21:41 They don't even know I'm running.
00:21:43 And Tommy is going to literally ruin this place.
00:21:46 We all know that.
00:21:48 He loves himself too much.
00:21:50 If he could go out and suck his own dick, he'd do it.
00:21:52 And Kelly, she seems to only like -- she's all for the girls.
00:21:56 I welcome everybody.
00:21:58 So if you can vote for me, and, yes, I am still in the running,
00:22:01 because no one is talking about it, and I fed all you fucks and everyone.
00:22:05 No one said thank you.
00:22:07 So that is Martin Mush's campaign.
00:22:09 Marty Mush.
00:22:10 [Applause]
00:22:13 Let's hear it for Special Marty.
00:22:14 Great speech.
00:22:15 Great speech from Special Marty.
00:22:17 First of all, happy hump day.
00:22:22 Thank you for letting me get this far.
00:22:24 I've been pretty upfront and blunt that I'm in this exclusively for myself to make my life better.
00:22:31 I know there's been a lot of talk that my campaign is anti-woman.
00:22:34 The lamestream media, they love to lie.
00:22:36 They love to say I'm anti-woman.
00:22:38 But would somebody who's anti-woman choose his VP to be a strong, smart, independent,
00:22:45 black woman from the Bronx, New York, and Ebony?
00:22:48 Let's hear it for Ebony.
00:22:49 Can we hear it for Ebony?
00:22:50 [Applause]
00:22:51 Let's hear it for Ebony.
00:22:52 [Applause]
00:22:58 Thank you, Ebony, and I am here for you.
00:23:02 My opponents here, Special Marty, great job.
00:23:04 I have nothing but love and respect for Special Marty.
00:23:06 The fact that he is here today despite his disabilities, his defects, is incredible.
00:23:10 I love Special Marty, seriously.
00:23:12 Then to my right we have the man-hating, HR-loving, Anthony Fauci-worshipping, anti-jail, corporate Kelly Keeks.
00:23:24 Who's voting in this?
00:23:25 I believe it's content, social, and production departments.
00:23:28 She says she wants to cut the salaries and resources of them so that she can double the salaries of the salespeople elites upstairs
00:23:37 and send some to Ukraine as well.
00:23:44 I think that won over Gia.
00:23:48 God bless you and God bless Arsenal.
00:23:50 [Applause]
00:23:53 I have a written prepared speech that I did do this. I know, I know.
00:23:57 The calipropter, they call her.
00:23:59 [Laughter]
00:24:03 The calipropter might have just blown me over.
00:24:04 My coworkers, friends, family, what a week it's been.
00:24:08 I'm over the moon about the outpouring of support I've seen and felt and for that, I thank you.
00:24:13 I genuinely want everyone to be the best versions of themselves and whether they need to make that happen,
00:24:17 I want to be the one to figure it out.
00:24:19 Let me be crystal clear, I am not saying kumbaya.
00:24:23 I don't want eternal peace in this building.
00:24:25 Behavioral and physical abnormalities are still subject to as much scrutiny as we want.
00:24:31 Like the fact that Tommy looks hideous in almost every hat he wears.
00:24:35 Or questioning whether Meek Phil is a serial killer pervert.
00:24:39 I am also pro-jail.
00:24:41 She's flip-flopping on the whole jail thing like crazy.
00:24:44 In order to stay ahead, we can't be afraid of failure.
00:24:47 We are all sharks and we keep fucking swimming.
00:24:50 Thank you.
00:24:52 The floor is yours, so if anybody has questions, you can raise a hand on up.
00:24:56 I'll call on you and we'll get to the bottom of all this.
00:25:01 Tommy, my question is for Tommy.
00:25:04 Is it true that you're building a wall between the second and third floor?
00:25:08 Yes.
00:25:10 [laughter]
00:25:13 Thank you.
00:25:15 [laughter]
00:25:17 I only care about the people on this floor.
00:25:20 Content, production, enough of the elites upstairs telling us they can't sell our videos.
00:25:25 [laughter]
00:25:28 Does that include our dear friends who have migrated from the second floor to--
00:25:33 or third floor to the second floor?
00:25:35 You would rather not have them there?
00:25:37 If they've established a permanent residence on the second floor, they can stay there.
00:25:40 So if your desk is on the third floor, he doesn't want you here.
00:25:45 No, it's just fine. I can make exceptions.
00:25:48 Every time I eat a bacon, egg, and cheese that the company provides for us on Mondays and Fridays,
00:25:53 I feel like shit the rest of the day.
00:25:56 Will any of your candidates consider finding a new supplier of bacon, egg, and cheeses?
00:26:00 We will not have any more wet eggs around here.
00:26:03 No more wetness. I don't like wet. We should all be dry and no one eats them.
00:26:07 But I do think that we're not taking advantage of that there is syrup and buns a block away
00:26:12 and a McGriddle and everyone would love a McGriddle.
00:26:15 Big Ed just almost clapped. I saw that.
00:26:17 [laughter]
00:26:19 Everyone's good.
00:26:21 Are you aware that Michael Greer just leaked some of your emails?
00:26:25 Leaked emails from Michael Greer?
00:26:27 Kelly's inbox includes about 10 emails from Meek Phil saying your OnlyFans is not working.
00:26:34 And the latest email is from the Communist Party subject line,
00:26:39 "Secret plans to infiltrate and destroy all of Barstool."
00:26:42 Kevin, thank you for bringing that to my attention.
00:26:45 I will say that I believe my opposition had something to do with this
00:26:49 as far as signing me up for these emails.
00:26:52 The Meek Phil emails are unfortunately real.
00:26:55 He has been harassing me, and I don't really know what to do about it.
00:26:58 So that's another thing that we can have a group discussion about once I am president.
00:27:01 Thank you.
00:27:03 If I could ask one more question.
00:27:04 Tommy, you blatantly lied to Dave Portnoy yesterday on record.
00:27:07 Kelly has flip-flopped on this whole jail thing like a pancake, like a fucking pancake.
00:27:11 One day she's pro-jail, next day she's anti-jail.
00:27:13 I can't keep up. I'm sorry I can't keep up with her jail stance.
00:27:16 Okay.
00:27:19 Tommy, I actually believe the question is that you lied. Did you lie?
00:27:23 I did not lie. I was--again, you flip-flopped.
00:27:26 I didn't see did Dave Portnoy endorse you or not.
00:27:28 He did say I endorse you.
00:27:30 And then did he also say I take back my endorsement?
00:27:32 I don't remember what happened at the end of the video.
00:27:34 And how about we hear it for Ebony? Let's hear it for Ebony.
00:27:37 [applause]
00:27:40 Finally somebody says he said I want to hear.
00:27:43 In the back, Jake.
00:27:44 For three people who seem to see hard work as a couple blogs, a few hours of live radio, and gambling streams per week,
00:27:52 how do you think you best represent your coworkers in content, social, production,
00:27:57 who put in long hours to keep this company afloat?
00:28:00 It is true. We cannot run without the people in social, without the people in production.
00:28:04 We are nothing without you. That is a fact.
00:28:07 That was a disrespectful question. If elected, I will hang Jake Lissavsky in the middle of the office.
00:28:14 That was crazy. Basically insulted the whole room.
00:28:19 No, you three.
00:28:20 Fuck you, Jake.
00:28:22 So I like to, after a long, stressful day at work, I like to enjoy a tasty beverage every now and then.
00:28:26 And I've noticed there's these new high noon coolers around the office.
00:28:28 We will unlock the high noon coolers.
00:28:30 So in your lockers?
00:28:31 We will unlock the high noon coolers, yes.
00:28:33 I agree with that as well.
00:28:34 Thank you.
00:28:35 Copycat.
00:28:36 We got to a point in the race where there were six people left.
00:28:40 Frank the Tank, of course, wasn't here this week,
00:28:42 but I would like to give both Rico Bosco and Meekville an opportunity to state their case,
00:28:49 either for or against the remaining opponents.
00:28:52 Kelly Keyes, this is a year appointment in terms of the presidency.
00:28:57 Do you see yourself being committed for a year or shifting gears after three months,
00:29:01 much like your icon Taylor Swift does with Boyfriends?
00:29:04 Boo.
00:29:07 Major boo on that.
00:29:08 Coming from someone who I thought was a Swifty, I'm a little upset to hear it.
00:29:11 No, I'm locked in.
00:29:12 I'm locked in as long as you'll have me, please.
00:29:14 If I am elected to this and you tell me that I get to do what I want to do, then I'm staying.
00:29:19 I will abolish any further elections to remain in power for life.
00:29:23 Meekville.
00:29:27 I just want to say that two of these candidates will either kill me or imprison me,
00:29:30 so that's why I'm voting for Marty.
00:29:32 Oh, fuck, Phil.
00:29:35 God damn it.
00:29:37 How did I get ruined by that?
00:29:40 If no one else has anything.
00:29:42 I'm also open to being bought by both of you.
00:29:45 To not split the votes.
00:29:47 I'd love that.
00:29:48 You could have a really powerful position in my cabinet.
00:29:51 Marty, you know that you're in my cabinet already.
00:29:54 You can do whatever you want.
00:29:55 She's anti-man, though. She's anti-man.
00:29:57 Again, rumors spread by the fake news media that you've been feeding.
00:30:01 Marty, would you like to be my VP?
00:30:04 How about a little Raising Cane's in addition?
00:30:09 My VP and Raising Cane's. What do you think?
00:30:17 Great. So Marty's dropping out.
00:30:19 So it's me or Kelly.
00:30:21 If you're a guy, vote for me. If you're a girl, vote for Kelly.
00:30:26 That could have gone any better for me.
00:30:30 Pretty good.
00:30:31 How was your election?
00:30:33 Great. Just absolutely crushed that town hall.
00:30:36 Do you have a pick for president of the election?
00:30:38 It's Tommy or Keegs now.
00:30:40 Tommy.
00:30:41 As we said, this was a very tight race.
00:30:46 And from the beginning, we promised that the winner of this race will be getting a Barstool Beast jacket.
00:30:52 Right here, actually. Just absolutely beautiful.
00:30:55 No way.
00:30:56 Barstool Beast on the back.
00:30:58 President NYC on the front.
00:31:01 Someone's about to earn this.
00:31:03 And to be honest, the vote could not have been closer.
00:31:08 52% to 48%.
00:31:12 The winner with 52% of the vote.
00:31:21 Miss Kelly Keegs.
00:31:27 Massive moment.
00:31:30 Unseal the vote. I'd like to see the Google form.
00:31:33 I want to see the Google form.
00:31:36 I do not accept the results.
00:31:39 Kelly, you just won president. How does it feel?
00:31:44 I'm feeling fantastic, Rome. Thank you.
00:31:46 Thank you to all of you who have voted for me, anybody who nominated me.
00:31:50 You suck. I don't have to be that nice anymore, which is amazing, because now you're stuck for a year.
00:31:55 Tommy, meanwhile, you lost.
00:31:59 I'd love to see the Google form. If this was a fair and honest election, the results are fair. Why can't I see the Google form?
00:32:06 We can submit it.
00:32:08 Can I not see the Google form results?
00:32:10 Of course you can.
00:32:12 Now even?
00:32:13 Look, I want my beast to remain mostly peaceful, but if you're not happy with this election and you think maybe it was unfair and that they haven't unsealed the Google form results yet, they won't show us right now,
00:32:23 do what you want to take this country back, take this company back.
00:32:27 I do not accept.
00:32:32 I genuinely think it was rigged. I'm not even kidding. I think it was rigged.
00:32:36 He didn't have an ID. He didn't have the proper ID.
00:32:38 I mean, that's a clever Photoshop. A very clever Photoshop.
00:32:41 Is there a vote from Liz Gonzalez and Leonard Fournette in there for Kelly Keegs, Young Mantis, Coach Duggs?
00:32:47 I don't accept these election results.
00:32:50 There have been like one or maybe two things in my years at Barstool where I've been like, this is cruel. It's cruel.
00:32:58 They're sitting on chairs. I thought that they were going to sit on hay. It's shocking. It's still shocking.
00:33:03 Tank doesn't care. He's oblivious. He's going to create content no matter what.
00:33:06 You could put him in the middle of like an Iraqi prison. Tank would still be doing ransom after that.
00:33:10 I'm almost disappointed in myself that I didn't assume this was going to be the case.
00:33:14 At Spin Zone though, we had nice lounge chairs here. Look at those fucking stiff-ass seats everyone else is sitting in.
00:33:20 Me and the Tank, plenty of balls. We're sitting in comfort like gentlemen.
00:33:23 Only three is a little ridiculous, I will say.
00:33:25 Never say names. There's many people that fit this criteria.
00:33:30 Dave is very, very, very excited about it. So whoever came up with it is getting points in the Fortnoy book, that's for sure.
00:33:36 I did not invent the fat pen. I don't have a mean bone in my body.
00:33:40 The fat pen was Dave's idea that I brought to life. You can put it on me Lisa.
00:33:45 I executed it flawlessly. It looks amazing.
00:33:50 But I did not think of the idea. Dave has been talking about the fat pen for 20 years.
00:33:55 I think this is the most barstool talent we've ever had under one roof. Everybody's here.
00:34:01 So again, thank you guys all for coming. I want to make something clear. I had nothing to do with the fat pen.
00:34:07 I originally came up with the term fat pen because all the fat guys at our office were sitting in an area.
00:34:16 It's like, well, just throw them in the fat pen. But here we are. It's great. I fucking still love it.
00:34:21 The only thing is I'm asking you, where is Eddie?
00:34:25 And the winner is Frankie Barelli.
00:34:32 [cheering]
00:34:35 [cheering]
00:34:42 He is a normal fan. My insanity would be maxed. I'm going to be in a rubber room soon.
00:34:47 If you're wondering about your standing at the company and your future,
00:34:51 you can learn a lot from the transportation you took to get here tonight.
00:34:57 I'm sure that Dave and Erica and Big Cat and Kevin flew first class on an airplane.
00:35:04 And I think Brianna actually rounded up 40 of Zach Bryan's best friends and hopped from one homie to the next.
00:35:13 To get here. Fuck you, Francis!
00:35:17 Nate scurried from connecting sewer systems in adjacent towns.
00:35:22 How do we feel, Pat?
00:35:24 Kind of drunk off the high noon. Don't judge me.
00:35:28 I pissed twice already. That's how you know the vessel is open.
00:35:32 Hello. Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.
00:35:38 Hey, let Boston know right now.
00:35:40 Hey, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill.
00:35:42 Hey, first, no booze, no booze. First and foremost, I want to thank Dave. Obviously, I want to thank Erica.
00:35:49 Yeah, we in this bitch. I'm sorry.
00:35:52 I'm done now. I just wanted to pop my shit a little bit.
00:35:55 You're welcome to pop your shit. Do you mind?
00:35:57 I'm going a little bit more than that.
00:35:59 Can I pop some shit?
00:36:00 Your turn. I'm sorry. Your turn.
00:36:01 I'm going to pop a little bit.
00:36:02 Take your time.

00:37:06 So fucking subscribe.
00:37:08 And the real nominees.
00:37:10 I'm sorry.
00:37:11 No, go back to your seat.
00:37:12 Get out of here.
00:37:13 I have some stuff to say.
00:37:14 So I was originally supposed to have a five-minute roast segment during this,
00:37:21 but then Gaz and Blatman cut it this morning.
00:37:24 So I'm just going to do it now.
00:37:29 [laughter]
00:37:37 The blackest thing in this room is Kelly keeps his liver.
00:37:40 Kelly, your liver is so black.
00:37:42 [laughter]
00:37:54 20 years, though.
00:37:56 20 years, David Big Cat.
00:37:58 Loosen up.
00:37:59 Loosen up.
00:38:00 Seriously, like look around.
00:38:02 And yes, 20, the number of seconds people listen to Kraft and Asus
00:38:05 before turning that shit off.
00:38:07 Here's to another 20 years of Smitty doing absolutely nothing.
00:38:12 Good night.
00:38:14 [music]
00:38:34 I work as a court clerk.
00:38:35 I settled as a court clerk.
00:38:37 I studied broadcasting in college.
00:38:39 And it took--I never gave up, though.
00:38:44 And that's the lesson here.
00:38:45 Never give up your dream.
00:38:48 And now I am working my dream job here at Barstool.
00:38:51 Never give up your dream.
00:38:55 Thank you, everyone.
00:38:56 Thank all the fans.
00:38:57 Congrats, Warren.
00:38:58 Thanks.
00:39:00 Shout out to Sales Team.
00:39:02 We're going to sell Dick with our entire fucking company here.
00:39:06 And we sold 10 cents worth of ads.
00:39:08 So the more things change, the more they say the same.
00:39:11 I'm feeling great because everybody's going to fucking hate me.
00:39:16 Barbie, thoughts, initial thoughts, where we're at now.
00:39:19 First of all, the movie was transcendent.
00:39:20 It was amazing.
00:39:21 It was incredible.
00:39:22 I cried multiple times.
00:39:23 It was excellent.
00:39:24 Really, I didn't think anybody would have much of an opinion on it
00:39:26 other than it was excellent and fun and cool.
00:39:28 And it turns out that two people who are beloved near and dear to my heart,
00:39:32 people I thought were friends, are out here dismissing the female experience.
00:39:35 So unfortunately, I'm going to have to beat their faces in, I think.
00:39:39 That's really just what it comes down to.
00:39:41 And then there's Barbie, which stinks so much.
00:39:45 That movie's stuck.
00:39:46 And it's not because I didn't get it.
00:39:48 It's not because I'm a man who's threatened.
00:39:50 I get it.
00:39:51 I'm not threatened.
00:39:52 It wasn't like this feminist thing.
00:39:54 It was just like, okay, yeah, it sucks to be a girl
00:39:56 because you have to live up to a bunch of different standards in society.
00:39:59 But it's just like goofy people pretending to be dolls
00:40:04 in a very corny and cliche, on purpose, way.
00:40:08 I'm sad.
00:40:09 It's a sad day when I have to bitch out my friends.
00:40:11 But today's the day.
00:40:12 Kirk inserts himself only when it is something that has to do with shitting on women,
00:40:16 which is why I say he's a chauvinist.
00:40:18 We don't hear from him ever, okay?
00:40:20 I never hear from him.
00:40:21 We're not in the same circles.
00:40:22 We don't involve each other in anything, whatever.
00:40:23 I'm talking about how the Barbie movie is good
00:40:25 and he needs to shut the fuck up about it not being good,
00:40:27 if you think it's bad, whatever, and you're a man.
00:40:29 And he's over here being like, "Well, you're talking shit about Tom Cruise."
00:40:31 Tom Cruise sucks.
00:40:33 I'll say it. Tom Cruise sucks.
00:40:34 I don't care how much money his movies make.
00:40:36 I don't care if you're going to the movies because he told you to.
00:40:38 He sucks.
00:40:39 If you don't know the difference between me talking shit about Tom Cruise,
00:40:42 a noted scumbag Scientologist,
00:40:44 and the fact that the Barbie movie is good for women,
00:40:46 then I don't know what the fuck to say to you, okay?
00:40:48 You're a moron.
00:40:49 And they asked me to come on the show, and I didn't see the invite until it was over,
00:40:52 and I said, "I'll come on tomorrow."
00:40:53 They said, "We don't record for a couple days."
00:40:55 So now I've got to stew in this bullshit until I can go on and say my piece
00:40:57 because I'm not afraid to talk to him.
00:40:59 I just didn't see his begging me to come on the show and talk to him about it
00:41:02 because, God forbid, he loses a little bit of credibility on the Internet.
00:41:05 So relax.
00:41:06 I thought it was a really fun movie.
00:41:07 I had a great time.
00:41:08 I also basically mentally fast-forwarded any scene that had a woman
00:41:12 and just enjoyed every scene that had Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu, all the other dudes.
00:41:15 So I had an awesome time.
00:41:16 Anyone else that watched it the wrong way, it sucks to be you.
00:41:19 I had an awesome, awesome time with Barbie.
00:41:20 Probably not going to see Barbie.
00:41:22 I have no interest in seeing Barbie at all.
00:41:25 Famously, I said that I wanted to do a segment on Call Her Daddy.
00:41:29 I have questions for you guys.
00:41:30 What are you guys doing to increase the embodiment of women or empowering women?
00:41:36 Well, I'm off to a rough start with an anti-Barbie spiel.
00:41:40 That movie was not good.
00:41:42 Oh, my God.
00:41:43 No, GN.
00:41:45 I'm very much pro-woman.
00:41:47 I just didn't really suck.
00:41:48 Did you think it was corny?
00:41:49 No.
00:41:50 Okay.
00:41:51 I'm going to make this our hit, Rico.
00:41:52 It's dividing this country, like, in the election.
00:41:55 I do think it's pretty hard to be a woman.
00:41:57 Not that I would know.
00:41:58 Yeah, I definitely think it's a lot harder than being a man.
00:42:01 I'm not saying anything controversial.
00:42:02 Gia is ready to throw a fit.
00:42:04 No, I'm not.
00:42:05 I'm not.
00:42:06 I'm not.
00:42:07 I just thought that was funny.
00:42:08 I don't think you guys have it easy.
00:42:09 What do we think that went?
00:42:10 I thought that went well.
00:42:11 You know, a little tough to start us and come in, like, drop everything to come in.
00:42:14 Zoom.
00:42:15 They moved my time.
00:42:16 They didn't let me get them pastries.
00:42:17 But, you know, that's the way it is.
00:42:19 That's how they treat their guests.
00:42:20 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42:21 I haven't been in any communication.
00:42:22 I still say it was an A.
00:42:23 I still say it was an A.
00:42:24 I would like to come back on, maybe a recurring segment.
00:42:26 Life advice with Rico, just come packing.
00:42:28 Three-headed monster for the New York office.
00:42:30 They don't see it coming.
00:42:31 We just take over.
00:42:32 Three of us?
00:42:33 That's the big three.
00:42:34 I've been watching suits, like, the last -- they keep changing the last name on the door.
00:42:37 You know, we just go Chicken Fry, O'Malley, Bosco.
00:42:41 Yeah.
00:42:42 Law firm.
00:42:43 I mean, that's how it goes.
00:42:44 Big Cat really wanted me to ask you about your contract, but I forgot.
00:42:46 I don't know what that is.
00:42:48 What?
00:42:49 I just watched Beckham.
00:42:50 It's like beating a dead horse.
00:42:51 You're out on me now?
00:42:52 A little.
00:42:53 How so?
00:42:54 Nah, I just don't -- I don't know.
00:42:57 It speaks volumes.
00:42:58 I am woman.
00:42:59 The message --
00:43:00 Well, I don't care about --
00:43:01 The message was great.
00:43:02 I appreciate a woman's opinion on a Barbie movie, but I don't like when men say that
00:43:06 they don't like it.
00:43:08 It's a piece of art.
00:43:09 It's not -- I didn't have a problem with the message.
00:43:12 I'm not saying that.
00:43:13 It's just the way the -- it's like -- I just didn't like the art and, like, the way the
00:43:17 movie -- like, it wasn't an entertaining movie.
00:43:20 It's a great message.
00:43:21 I'm not knocking that.
00:43:22 I guess.
00:43:23 Everyone's entitled to their opinion.
00:43:25 Totally, but I mean, isn't, like, the whole point of this kind of stuff to debate opinions?
00:43:30 Yeah, I'm not knocking it.
00:43:31 Yeah.
00:43:32 I think the message was great, but watch, like, the piece of art I thought was bad.
00:43:36 Like, it was just corny.
00:43:37 They're in a boat, and they're going like this.
00:43:39 Yeah, but the whole -- that's the whole -- it's --
00:43:42 So then -- but it's, like, what you listen to.
00:43:45 Like, that type of art, I don't -- I didn't like.
00:43:48 That's where it's coming from.
00:43:49 Truthfully, not --
00:43:50 Yeah, but I think going into a movie knowing that it's trying to be corny --
00:43:55 I didn't -- I go in, and I don't really -- I didn't know what its angle was going to be.
00:43:58 I knew a little bit of they're going to overlap the real world with that, and I kind of thought
00:44:03 it would be like the Brady Bunch movie a little bit.
00:44:06 You get what I'm saying?
00:44:07 Where they put them in an -- where they have no idea about the real world.
00:44:10 Yeah, that's what it is.
00:44:12 They don't know about the real world.
00:44:13 The point of the movie is that they think that the real world is, like, perfect because of --
00:44:17 -Facts. -Yeah.
00:44:19 Jackie went out when we were talking Barbie and got Carol.
00:44:23 I think -- I don't know how it happened, to be honest.
00:44:25 I walked out, and some of the girls were -- were fuming.
00:44:30 And I said, "This feels like this could stir up some shit."
00:44:34 And it did.
00:44:35 And I feel powerful.
00:44:36 I feel, like I said, the whole office ablaze.
00:44:38 [Laughter]
00:44:39 And I think I'm going to start doing that more often.
00:44:41 [Laughter]
00:44:42 -With a fucking -- -I want to talk to you about Barbie.
00:44:44 Okay.
00:44:45 Okay.
00:44:46 I'm sure --
00:44:47 -Are you guys recording? -Yeah.
00:44:49 Yeah, but that's okay.
00:44:51 Wait, so you guys didn't like the Barbie movie.
00:44:53 -I'll listen. I'll listen. I'll hear you out. -Well, here's the deal.
00:44:55 Well, first of all, it's not feminist enough. That's the main issue.
00:44:57 It's not anti-man enough. It is -- I'm being genuine.
00:45:01 I thought it was very, like, broad strokes.
00:45:04 Feminism isn't anti-man.
00:45:05 I agree.
00:45:06 What part did you think was, like, profound?
00:45:08 -That, like, we've never heard before. -America Ferrera's monologue?
00:45:10 That was the worst part!
00:45:12 -We just got finished talking about it. -That was the worst part?
00:45:14 Have you guys not thought of that?
00:45:16 -I heard that. -We have, but you haven't.
00:45:18 We've never seen someone able to say that, because here's the deal.
00:45:21 Do you not listen to Token CEO?
00:45:23 I didn't say I hated it.
00:45:24 I just said it wasn't -- like, I didn't really like it. It wasn't great.
00:45:26 You saw Oppenheimer first.
00:45:27 -I tried to see Barbie first. -People were saying to go see Barbie first.
00:45:29 I was thinking that.
00:45:30 Well, that way you finish with a good movie.
00:45:32 [Laughter]
00:45:33 Okay, it's more than a movie.
00:45:35 -But that's -- -More than a movie.
00:45:37 But we're talking about the movie.
00:45:38 But I think that what you want, then, is, like, niche indie movies that you guys will go see and like.
00:45:43 -No. -But if everybody watches them, they're going to have dissenting opinions.
00:45:46 No, but that's my point.
00:45:47 It can't be a niche indie movie, because there has to be representation.
00:45:50 Right, but then there's going to also be discourse about it, about the script.
00:45:53 And there's going to be responses to the discourse.
00:45:55 Totally fine.
00:45:56 And there's going to be responses to the response to the discourse.
00:45:57 Totally, but then to act like you are above me, and I'm not getting it, and I'm not smart.
00:46:02 I'm not above you. This is your show. I'm on your show.
00:46:04 You literally just said, "I can't help you."
00:46:05 -Yeah, I can't. -Like, you're beyond --
00:46:07 -That is a condescending tone. -No, I don't think I'm beyond you.
00:46:09 -I don't think I'm beyond you. -That you're assuming that I don't get what you're talking about.
00:46:12 -And I do get it. -Okay.
00:46:14 I believe that you get it. I do.
00:46:16 I don't think you do.
00:46:17 -Yeah, I don't know if I do. -I think 30 seconds ago, it just showed you didn't.
00:46:19 -Yeah, I don't know if I do, to be honest. -But that's okay, too.
00:46:21 -That's okay, too. -But, like, I -- yeah.
00:46:23 I hate doing content like that. I despise doing content like that.
00:46:27 I don't, like -- I know people like watching it and listening to it, or I think, I don't know.
00:46:31 I hate that so much, and it sucked.
00:46:37 It sucked just like the movie.
00:46:39 [ Laughter ]
00:46:41 That was about as fun as Barbie was.
00:46:43 [ Laughter ]
00:46:45 No, yeah, I think some things got misconstrued, but, yeah, I didn't really like the movie Barbie.
00:46:52 -Yeah. -Did you say Barbie post-meeting or something?
00:46:56 -I don't have any words for you, woman. -Are you kidding me?
00:46:58 -I'm telling you right now. -What?
00:47:00 -It's just, like, it's just so modernized, and it's a problem for everybody else that's in here.
00:47:03 I'm just saying that. We're all -- yeah, we're going off. We're talking about it, and that's it.
00:47:08 -It's intense. Jeez. -We're angry.
00:47:10 -I made it. -Keep walking. Keep walking.
00:47:12 [ Laughter ]
00:47:13 -I'm serious. -Come on. Tell me how you really feel.
00:47:16 -I really -- I mean -- -I think I said everything I needed to say.
00:47:18 -That's facts. It's a whole thing, Colton.
00:47:22 I know that she -- I know that we're joking around.
00:47:24 It is a joke. We're all joking. Yes, it's a movie, whatever, but it's also become a little bit more than that,
00:47:29 and I think we're all just starting to see enough loving tone and response.
00:47:33 -I'm embarrassed to work here. -I am.
00:47:37 -It's bad. It's bad. -This is tough.
00:47:39 -Like I said -- -I've never seen Caroline look --
00:47:41 -Yeah, this has to be a woman-to-woman thing. -You've got to have -- you have to --
00:47:43 -Listen, I'm just trying to be Kenan. -Call your friends out.
00:47:45 Sometimes you have to call your friends out when everybody's talking shit behind your back.
00:47:47 You have to call your friends out, and so I thought, "I got to call my friends out soon."
00:47:49 And I'm just still waiting now. What? It's been almost over an hour, but okay, fine.
00:47:54 I'll wait forever, 'cause they need to know.
00:47:56 Everyone's talking shit behind their back. Like, everyone's talking shit behind your back, and you got to know.
00:47:59 Surprisingly -- well, not surprisingly, but this episode we talked about, we dropped a bomb,
00:48:04 so this is going to be a big episode.
00:48:06 -What was the bomb? -Was it, like, San Rico or San --
00:48:09 -You could tell. You could tell. -No, you tell. It's your secret.
00:48:11 No, it's not a secret.
00:48:13 -Just -- -Oh, he's in the room.
00:48:16 -Yeah. -She's dating Zach Bryan.
00:48:18 -Oh, okay. -Seeing Zach Bryan.
00:48:20 -Good for you. -Yeah.
00:48:22 Yeah, that's the other one, life advice. Do what makes you happy.
00:48:24 And keep mental notes of who judges.
00:48:27 Honestly, yeah, cross him out. Fucking make a list. X him out, man.
00:48:32 -Don't need you in my life. -Don't say list.
00:48:34 -Don't say list? -It's an old inside joke.
00:48:38 I don't know. For some reason, I thought it was going to -- I thought I was never going to have to say it.
00:48:42 I thought it was going to be, like, the one thing from the Internet that I could keep secret.
00:48:46 Like, you got to be the dumbest person on the Earth to think that you're going to be able to hide that relationship from the Internet.
00:48:53 And how dumb are you, Pri, in this world where you think that you're going to keep this relationship, like, quiet forever?
00:49:00 What are you, nuts?
00:49:02 I didn't think forever. I just thought for -- it's so new.
00:49:05 I thought I was going to wait, like, a fucking month, and then I was going to break in.
00:49:09 The Internet's undefeated. They'll find you.
00:49:11 If you're trying to hide something, they'll find you.
00:49:13 Yeah, I mean, listen, anytime you're in a public eye, your relationship's out there, you're going to be judged.
00:49:18 You know, luckily, I never had to go through that.
00:49:21 So I feel for her. It's a tough spot.
00:49:23 I don't care who might go over your state.
00:49:25 Unless it's Tommy.
00:49:27 They were more hostile.
00:49:29 You were living when you found out about her.
00:49:32 Yeah.
00:49:33 You were furious.
00:49:34 I think we all got that out of our system a while ago.
00:49:37 It's not funny unless it's Tommy dating a 6'9" blonde from the beach.
00:49:41 If we weren't dating, we would just fuck.
00:49:44 Yeah, I mean, I've known about it for a while.
00:49:47 Bre texted me as soon as she left his house for the first time.
00:49:50 I was like, "Whatever you want to do, girl, I totally support you."
00:49:52 What did the text say?
00:49:53 She said, "Tommy, just saw your latest video. Fucking hilarious.
00:49:57 By the way, me and Zach Bryan are dating now. Hope that's okay."
00:50:00 You gave her a good lesson.
00:50:02 I gave her my lesson.
00:50:03 Very respectful of her. Respectful of you as well.
00:50:05 Yeah, that's how me and chicken fry operate.
00:50:08 I'm mad at you. I don't know.
00:50:12 Like, you fucked us so hard, Bre.
00:50:14 How?
00:50:15 We are a entertainment gossip dating podcast.
00:50:21 You're dating a famous person.
00:50:23 You hid it from us.
00:50:25 You broke it everywhere but us.
00:50:28 It's what we do.
00:50:30 I'll say this.
00:50:31 I think Dave is a little bit of a point there.
00:50:33 I don't know if I personally am going to start telling everyone at my workplace about my personal life to get ahead of it.
00:50:39 But if people are talking about it on the internet and he's the last to know, you got to know he's going to be pissed.
00:50:44 So I feel like she could have just texted him quick like, "Hey, we didn't talk about this today but now it's opening. We can talk about it later."
00:50:49 Or something. Anything. I don't know.
00:50:51 I watched that. I watched it on BFFs.
00:50:54 It was brutal. Dave was brutal.
00:50:56 But she handled it well.
00:50:58 I get Dave's point of view because it is like that podcast. You want to break it there.
00:51:01 But I also understand where she was like kind of getting a lot of heat for it.
00:51:06 And she knew she would.
00:51:08 It's like an interesting thing you got to like.
00:51:10 If it was me, I would want her to break it with Zach Bryan on BFFs.
00:51:14 Exactly. Page me.
00:51:16 Yeah, like I get it.
00:51:18 What did you think about how she, um...
00:51:20 What? Overlapping?
00:51:21 Overlapping timeline.
00:51:22 It's like an interesting term.
00:51:24 I haven't given the timeline. Want me to give you the timeline?
00:51:26 Sure.
00:51:27 I'd love to hear the timeline.
00:51:28 Me and Joey break up.
00:51:30 And he had already broken up with his girlfriend.
00:51:33 And then he fucking slid into my DMs.
00:51:36 Overlapping is a term. It's certainly a term.
00:51:40 I would translate it to something else.
00:51:42 But I wish them the best.
00:51:44 I mean Zach Bryan is like what? The coolest dude in the world right now?
00:51:47 You can't really blame somebody.
00:51:49 He is like number one honcho.
00:51:52 So top G as they say.
00:51:54 Something in the orange.
00:51:57 That was good.
00:51:58 Yes it is.
00:51:59 Yeah it is.
00:52:00 That's 100% Zach Bryan.
00:52:04 I know you.
00:52:05 I love it. I support it. I ship it.
00:52:07 She can do whatever she wants in this world today.
00:52:09 And I don't think it overlaps.
00:52:11 It's the first like celebrity couple ever in barstool history right?
00:52:15 I think the cool thing is for people to organically find out.
00:52:18 Like the way Bre did.
00:52:20 I think what was it in like people were...
00:52:22 The girl, the chick that made all the TikToks.
00:52:24 She was like in the background of a photo.
00:52:26 Yeah.
00:52:27 I think if I ever dated like a really beautiful celebrity.
00:52:30 It would be way funnier if I was just in the background.
00:52:32 One of the pictures people start putting stuff together.
00:52:34 I think it's possible.
00:52:36 I could see myself doing that at some point.
00:52:38 Yeah you and Drew.
00:52:39 I mean imagine if me and Drew were walking down the street.
00:52:45 And they just got us like leaving Carbone and holding hands.
00:52:48 And we told no one.
00:52:49 And it was just like this fucking gladiator.
00:52:51 It's crazy.
00:52:53 Yeah. Yeah.
00:52:55 Yeah I fucked up a little bit I guess right?
00:52:57 Obviously Zach Bryan, Bre.
00:52:59 I thought he was your man.
00:53:01 I had such a chance with him.
00:53:03 I knew he was secretly in love with me.
00:53:05 So it was a little awkward.
00:53:06 But I said Bre take him.
00:53:08 I have a long roster.
00:53:10 So I can just...
00:53:11 Harry Styles is in my DMs.
00:53:13 Let's go.
00:53:15 Justin Bieber.
00:53:16 Don't tell Hayley.
00:53:18 Taylor Lautner.
00:53:21 I don't know.
00:53:22 It's a long list.
00:53:23 I can't remember all of them.
00:53:24 So I said you can have him.
00:53:25 I'll take Harry.
00:53:28 Were you kind of finding out with the rest of everyone?
00:53:30 No questions.
00:53:31 No questions.
00:53:32 Go ahead.
00:53:33 I know that I like Zach Bryan.
00:53:34 And I like Bre.
00:53:35 I like Zach Bryan's music.
00:53:36 It will be funny.
00:53:38 I really want to know if like
00:53:39 break up or they fall in love.
00:53:41 If one of the songs is about Bre.
00:53:43 I'll never be able to listen to a Zach Bryan song.
00:53:45 The same.
00:53:46 Now knowing that I know the girl he's dating.
00:53:48 So that's my only take on it.
00:53:49 Happy for them if they're happy.
00:53:51 I think I would tell Dave before I told like my mother.
00:53:53 You definitely would.
00:53:55 You asked Dave.
00:53:56 I told him I would be scared of Dave.
00:53:58 But I did tell you before.
00:53:59 The whole like
00:54:00 one of the coolest parts of dating a celebrity
00:54:02 is that you got to find out organically.
00:54:04 No, no, no.
00:54:05 But like
00:54:06 you literally asked Dave permission to move.
00:54:08 Yeah, that's fair.
00:54:10 You would ask him permission to do anything.
00:54:12 You would call him before you kissed a celebrity.
00:54:14 Make sure it's okay.
00:54:16 We used Drew as an example.
00:54:17 Like wouldn't it be funny if I told no one.
00:54:18 It was just like called
00:54:19 leaving the restaurant and treat by everyone.
00:54:21 It would be funny but you told everyone.
00:54:23 You told everyone that would listen.
00:54:26 After the picture.
00:54:29 I think I would want as many people to know as possible.
00:54:33 I would not keep it a secret for a second
00:54:36 if I was dating a celebrity.
00:54:38 If I'm dating a celebrity
00:54:39 everybody's going to know.
00:54:41 Who's on your list?
00:54:42 Who's the top spot?
00:54:43 Michael Seller.
00:54:44 Things are good man.
00:54:46 I'm glad it happened now it's over
00:54:48 and we don't have to worry about
00:54:49 You guys already broke up?
00:54:50 I didn't shit.
00:54:51 Yes, I'm not out of shit.
00:54:52 Everything's great.
00:54:53 It was bound to happen.
00:54:55 Fuck it.
00:54:56 I mean
00:54:57 BFFs was brutal.
00:54:59 Those are some brutal boys.
00:55:00 Well you're an evolving door of relationships.
00:55:03 I've had four relationships ever.
00:55:05 Four relationships but we've only been doing this show
00:55:07 for like four months.
00:55:09 Nobody's getting easy Dave here
00:55:11 because you guys fucked us.
00:55:12 So are you getting a lot of hate?
00:55:13 I'm having fun man.
00:55:14 Yeah, a lot of hate.
00:55:15 Well you deserve it.
00:55:16 Austin, contrary to popular belief
00:55:19 because Dave was calling him a piece of shit asshole
00:55:21 is a good person and he asked me before
00:55:23 because he knew I didn't want it to go public
00:55:25 for the sake of my personal life
00:55:28 he said, "Do you want this?"
00:55:29 and I said, "No."
00:55:30 and then I was forced to put it on.
00:55:32 So yeah, Austin's a good guy
00:55:33 and I feel bad he had to take the heat for me.
00:55:35 Yeah, for sure.
00:55:36 Rest in peace Austin.
00:55:37 And I reach out to Austin
00:55:39 and I'm like, "Is something going on
00:55:42 with Bree and Zach Bryan?"
00:55:44 and Austin being the absolute moron that he is
00:55:50 is like, "Oh yeah, like a lot
00:55:53 but we took it off the sheets."
00:55:55 I'm like, "What do you mean you took it off the sheets?"
00:55:58 He's like, "Well Bree wouldn't let us talk about it."
00:56:00 It's like, Bree doesn't get to decide.
00:56:03 She falls hard and she falls fast
00:56:05 and if I know anything about Bree
00:56:07 it will be tremendous.
00:56:09 Whatever is going to happen, it will be tremendous.
00:56:11 I wish them the best.
00:56:12 The vlog has been in Dave's office for
00:56:14 it feels like 10 minutes now
00:56:16 and it's like 9 minutes, way too long.
00:56:18 I can start to hear the voices raising a little bit.
00:56:20 It's like, you just got to get out of there.
00:56:21 I don't know what they're talking about
00:56:22 but it can't be like, "Hey, how was your weekend?"
00:56:24 It's definitely like, I don't know, but it's just not good.
00:56:27 Nate's got to get out of there now.
00:56:29 You can hear Dave's voice, his patience
00:56:31 running thinner and thinner and thinner as we go.
00:56:33 Nate's running high.
00:56:34 Now they're starting to talk over each other
00:56:36 and I'm starting to get nervous just sitting here.
00:56:38 I think I'm going to just walk away.
00:56:40 Seems like a lively combo.
00:56:41 Just the big two chopping it up.
00:56:43 Any bits or no?
00:56:44 No, no bits today. Just straight business.
00:56:47 Also, for people vlogging, I just want to say something.
00:56:50 We don't have that many people here.
00:56:52 Nate just came in and complained about a guy being let go.
00:56:55 I don't want to fucking let anybody go
00:56:57 but Nate coming in and being like,
00:56:59 "Well, do page views not fucking matter?"
00:57:01 We're losing 12 million bucks.
00:57:03 So, we're not going to lose productivity.
00:57:06 It's going to stay up
00:57:07 and you guys are going to have to fucking pitch in
00:57:09 but I'm not going to have fucking Nate coming in
00:57:11 and being like, "Oh, I guess page views don't matter
00:57:13 "and vlogging don't matter."
00:57:14 It fucking matters.
00:57:15 We're losing $12 million a year.
00:57:17 Wake the fuck up.
00:57:19 Fuck up.
00:57:21 Why do you think you're in a position to do that?
00:57:24 It's a dude who's tried to not fire anybody over the years
00:57:28 and now he's basically being forced to.
00:57:30 Listen, if everybody knew the full truth of what happened,
00:57:33 it's a guy who could have just fucked off and let a lot of people go.
00:57:36 So, then don't go fucking fumbling about one person, dude.
00:57:39 You know what I mean?
00:57:40 Like, it's going to get ugly
00:57:42 but if you're going to complain about every single person,
00:57:45 it doesn't even get what I'm saying.
00:57:48 It doesn't matter because there are circumstances to everything
00:57:51 and it's all going to suck.
00:57:52 And telling him, "You shouldn't have done that."
00:57:55 It's like, "Well, I don't want to do anything."
00:57:57 So, don't do that again.
00:57:58 I know.
00:57:59 I thought I could ask a question.
00:58:02 Oh, brother.
00:58:05 Where have you been?
00:58:07 I'm here.
00:58:08 Well, you haven't because you missed 10 things already.
00:58:10 So, what have you been shooting?
00:58:13 Shit around the office.
00:58:14 Like what?
00:58:15 Because I've been here the whole fucking morning
00:58:17 and Nate's playing his first time scene.
00:58:19 Okay.
00:58:20 Nobody wants to fucking lay people off.
00:58:21 They're fat and lazy out there.
00:58:23 And there's emphasis on fucking fat.
00:58:25 So, yes, we lose a guy.
00:58:27 Other people have to pick up the slack
00:58:29 because we're laying people off doesn't mean we fucking just
00:58:32 are willing to do less.
00:58:34 Guilt trip by fucking nature.
00:58:36 He was one of the good ones.
00:58:37 Shut the fuck up, Nate.
00:58:38 Fine.
00:58:39 We'll get rid of you.
00:58:40 We'll save him.
00:58:41 He can do your job and we'll save fucking 100 grand.
00:58:44 More.
00:58:46 Fucking the dog.
00:58:49 Less time preparing your speech.
00:58:51 More time fucking, oh, well, what are we just not going to blog on the weekend?
00:58:54 No, fucking blog.
00:58:55 Fucking hate him.
00:58:56 And then you'll know where to be found.
00:58:58 It still seems like you'll know where to be found.
00:58:59 We're having this whole thing in the back of my head.
00:59:00 It's like this is good content about the real fucking business.
00:59:03 Because Nate's a fucking dummy.
00:59:05 Baldi.
00:59:06 That's what layoffs are.
00:59:07 They suck.
00:59:08 Why, everyone who's getting laid off, Nate's going to come complain to me?
00:59:11 Shut the fuck up, Nate.
00:59:13 Like laying off people is fucking fun.
00:59:15 He's one of the good ones.
00:59:17 Shut the fuck up.
00:59:21 Everyone knows we did a ton of layoffs today.
00:59:23 I will say we still have a shit ton of people here.
00:59:26 Sad.
00:59:27 Nobody wants to do layoffs.
00:59:28 Hopefully it's not totally a shock to anybody because I've been pretty clear that it was coming.
00:59:34 When I took back the company, I said it's a great day for Barstool.
00:59:37 I'm sure all the people who lost their jobs are like, well, that was bullshit.
00:59:43 It is still a great day for Barstool.
00:59:45 I've heard somebody be like, oh, is this the first round of layoffs or anything like that?
00:59:49 It is not.
00:59:51 Well, it is.
00:59:52 It's done.
00:59:53 We're done.
00:59:54 Yeah, there's no more layoffs coming.
00:59:56 Everybody here, this should put us in a pretty good spot.
00:59:58 The harsh reality of it is I think we're back to my world a little bit.
01:00:02 And when I say my world, I mean what Barstool has been for the majority of Barstool.
01:00:07 Like words like process and forecast and pipeline and get rid of all that.
01:00:14 And I still think really it's a great spot to work.
01:00:17 Laying off people is the absolute worst, worst, worst, worst thing in the world.
01:00:23 And now we're back, I think, on really solid footing on where we have to be and still a great place to work.
01:00:29 This is going to be a content house in sales.
01:00:31 If you have questions for content, content for sales, whatever, just talk to each other.
01:00:35 One thing I will say, and this may be harsh and cold, I didn't know a lot of people got laid off.
01:00:41 Like I couldn't have picked them out of a lineup.
01:00:43 And granted I wasn't here all the time, but it's really, really much harder to lay somebody off when you know who they are.
01:00:50 And the moral of that story is I don't care if upstairs, downstairs, like meet people.
01:00:56 Like work with them.
01:00:58 This is now should be kind of like a family thing where everyone knows each other.
01:01:02 And that's just like personal advice for anybody.
01:01:04 We were so segregated at Barstool we didn't even know who each other was.
01:01:10 So we're down to, I don't know, 300 people.
01:01:12 So I still think it's a great, great spot.
01:01:14 I have not changed at all in terms of like Barstool being the best thing that happened is me getting the company back.
01:01:23 But the facts of the matter is if we didn't make the changes, none of us in this room would have had jobs in a year or two.
01:01:28 It just couldn't have worked.
01:01:29 And now I think, you know, we're pretty well set for the future.
01:01:33 I want this to be an awesome place to work where everyone's getting paid well, happy to go to work.
01:01:37 Obviously today sucks, but I knew this was happening before the deal was done.
01:01:41 Not the exact numbers, but we looked at it.
01:01:44 It's like, all right, I'm taking the company back.
01:01:46 You know, I've worked for 20 years.
01:01:48 I wasn't going to lose it all in 10 seconds.
01:01:50 So I think we're in a good spot now.
01:01:52 There's a lot that has changed, you know, obviously in the last three weeks.
01:01:56 I think it's a really good thing to get back to a leaner, more focused company.
01:02:01 The expectation isn't going to be that we were doing what we did last week with half the people.
01:02:07 Like that's not the expectation.
01:02:08 So I just want people to be sure they understand that.
01:02:11 One of the things that happened over the last two years is everybody got a lot of resources that today no longer exist.
01:02:19 And I think it is a good thing because it gets us back in touch with what we are doing.
01:02:23 But again, the goal is to make this a very fun, cool, happy place to be.
01:02:28 This we knew was coming.
01:02:30 It was going to be a month, two months of a little bit of turbulence.
01:02:33 And I think we did it faster just kind of cut the cord and get it over with.
01:02:37 But again, unfortunately, we knew it was coming.
01:02:41 This round of layoffs had to happen because just the physical nature of where we are.
01:02:47 But Barstool is still like, we see great talent, we still want to hire them.
01:02:51 Like we're not, our goal is not just to retrench and disappear.
01:02:55 We want to be around forever.
01:02:56 It's a reset. It sucks.
01:02:58 It's going to feel like shit for two days.
01:03:00 I think it's totally appropriate to be sad or angry or to mourn people who aren't here.
01:03:06 Like I get that.
01:03:07 Like this is eating, you know, this has been a lot to go through.
01:03:11 But it's for the right reasons.
01:03:13 And Barstool has a great future ahead of it.
01:03:16 If anybody has questions, we're here obviously.
01:03:18 That's why I'm in the office today.
01:03:20 Dan, Kevin, Erica, whoever.
01:03:22 But yeah, things will break.
01:03:24 Just get through it.
01:03:25 It's not the end of the world.
01:03:26 Yep. Great.
01:03:27 Thank you guys.
01:03:28 Tough day for the company.
01:03:30 Last night the news broke on the Post and a couple other outlets wrote about it.
01:03:36 And today is the day.
01:03:37 We've been talking about it for a couple weeks now.
01:03:40 It shouldn't really come as a surprise to people.
01:03:44 But it still is a tough day when you put it into motion.
01:03:48 So the layoffs occurred today.
01:03:54 And if you were paying attention and listening, you know, Dave was very up front.
01:04:00 We were losing millions of dollars a year, a million dollars a month.
01:04:04 And that is not easy to make up.
01:04:08 So if you're going to try to continue to run this company and make it break even
01:04:13 and keep the other jobs, you've got to make a lot of moves.
01:04:20 Hey, Dave.
01:04:21 I'm in and out.
01:04:22 In and out.
01:04:23 I've got a fantasy draft that was planned.
01:04:25 You're a fantasy guy?
01:04:26 It's like trout, moose.
01:04:30 This one Che does --
01:04:31 Yeah, he's the commish getting yelled at.
01:04:33 But it's like Machado, Ria Molto.
01:04:37 It's like MLB all-star.
01:04:39 Is this the Tommy fan league?
01:04:40 Yes, that I got in after the slap.
01:04:44 Andrew Marchan broke this last night.
01:04:46 Yeah.
01:04:47 Is that like a leak?
01:04:51 Yeah, it had to be a leak.
01:04:52 But it came out pretty quick.
01:04:53 It was everywhere.
01:04:55 I didn't realize --
01:04:56 It was like pretty dead on.
01:04:57 But somebody told him it was happening now.
01:05:01 We didn't know it was happening that --
01:05:03 Was it not planned until last night?
01:05:05 No, we knew it was happening, but we moved it up.
01:05:08 It was like I think we're going to do it next September 7th.
01:05:11 That's what I mean, was it done?
01:05:13 September 7th.
01:05:14 Originally it was going to be September 7th, and then I think the thought was like
01:05:17 we already know -- everyone knows, we're talking about it,
01:05:19 like before Labor Day, all that stuff.
01:05:22 So, you know, it's easier to mandate off.
01:05:24 But, again, I don't -- laying off people is never good.
01:05:28 You never want to do it.
01:05:29 Am I coming up?
01:05:30 Two minutes?
01:05:31 Getting -- I'll keep coming back and forth.
01:05:32 My pick's gone.
01:05:33 Getting this break-even, sustainable, and then going back to not being as involved.
01:05:38 Like I'm not giving up my life.
01:05:39 I've been doing it for 20 years.
01:05:40 Right, right, right, right.
01:05:41 Okay.
01:05:42 Fantasy pick?
01:05:43 How are you going to know who's off the board and everything?
01:05:45 I know, but you've got to -- this is --
01:05:48 [Indistinct talking]
01:05:54 That could be a good one.
01:05:57 Two minutes.
01:05:58 All right, trouts up, Dave, you're on deck.
01:05:59 Oh, boy.
01:06:02 A couple quarterbacks went, Lamar, Jackson, Joe Pearl, and Justin Fields.
01:06:09 I haven't seen Dave run since the combine.
01:06:13 That's crazy.
01:06:14 Dave doesn't run anymore, Dave plods.
01:06:17 He's hot on deck.
01:06:18 I got him, I got him.
01:06:19 Great.
01:06:20 Good pick.
01:06:21 Great, thank you.
01:06:22 The whole office is raving about my McCaffrey pick.
01:06:27 Who took all -- who took Fields?
01:06:31 Fannie.
01:06:32 Fannie.
01:06:33 Like two picks ago.
01:06:35 Okay.
01:06:36 I know where I'm going.
01:06:37 Hopefully he'll be still there.
01:06:41 Let's see if I got a --
01:06:45 Dave, is that my parent baller?
01:06:47 I'm up.
01:06:48 You are up.
01:06:49 This is going to be kind of a shocking pick for people.
01:06:53 I'm multitasking.
01:06:55 We laid off 100 people.
01:06:56 I'm on fucking radio.
01:06:57 I'm drafting.
01:06:58 Fucking Moose gets the thing moved back for his birthday.
01:07:00 I'm laying -- the lives are in danger here.
01:07:02 I'm doing this thing.
01:07:04 That's on me and my daughter.
01:07:06 My daughter appreciates it, though, so thank you.
01:07:11 Oh, scratch.
01:07:14 Yeah, it's a stretch.
01:07:16 I'm getting calls, hey, I don't want my job.
01:07:18 Sorry, I got to do this fucking draft.
01:07:20 [Laughter]
01:07:28 Dave's panicking.
01:07:29 He's out.
01:07:30 I'm not fucking panicking.
01:07:31 I'm doing radio.
01:07:32 I'm doing nine things.
01:07:33 My pick was supposed to be fucking Fields, to be honest.
01:07:36 We're back in charge.
01:07:38 We're back in charge over there.
01:07:40 Yeah, it's fucking no vacation.
01:07:42 There's no day at the beach here.
01:07:45 When you show up to work on Monday not fired,
01:07:48 you can go all the stories, wish they could work.
01:07:51 A couple things, right?
01:07:53 It's Tuesday.
01:07:55 And also, just an insane inability to kind of read the room here, right?
01:08:01 Like over 100 of our coworkers lost their jobs,
01:08:04 and they're just, like, firing off a tweet like this.
01:08:06 And also, they're not here today, which is the funniest thing.
01:08:09 I've been here since 9 a.m.
01:08:10 I have not seen them.
01:08:11 So to post this on a day where you're not even in the fucking office?
01:08:14 Just a wild move.
01:08:16 Wild one.
01:08:17 I do--I mean, it is fun to watch everyone pile on,
01:08:19 but I guess it's more the tone of being, like--
01:08:22 if you're like, "This is so tone deaf," like, are you that offended, I guess?
01:08:28 It's a dumb tweet.
01:08:30 I'm not offended.
01:08:32 So to act offended feels like you're just doing that for show.
01:08:36 And Nick Bono was their producer.
01:08:38 Oh, that--okay, that's dumb.
01:08:40 That's even dumber.
01:08:41 That's even dumber.
01:08:42 Okay, now I'm starting to get on the other side.
01:08:44 I forgot about that.
01:08:45 Their producer got fired.
01:08:47 Yeah, I forgot about that.
01:08:49 Yeah, that's pretty ruthless.
01:08:51 They deleted the tweet?
01:08:52 Oh.
01:08:54 Wow, you got some fucking love on that.
01:08:56 Yeah.
01:08:59 2,000 likes?
01:09:01 And 100 people lost their jobs who have bills to pay.
01:09:04 It's a really serious thing.
01:09:05 And they come in here with big smiles on their face saying,
01:09:07 "When you show up to work Monday, not fired, even though all the stoolies wish you were."
01:09:12 A, like, Tommy, what are you saying?
01:09:14 It is Tuesday.
01:09:15 It's Tuesday.
01:09:16 It's not Monday.
01:09:17 B, it's not funny that people lost their fucking jobs.
01:09:21 This isn't a joke.
01:09:22 And, you know, if they're here, I'll gladly talk to them about it.
01:09:25 It's 2 o'clock.
01:09:26 No?
01:09:27 All right.
01:09:28 Well, I'll be here until 5, so--
01:09:31 But it's just--it's absolutely wrong.
01:09:34 It's really shitty that good people lost their jobs.
01:09:37 And they are making light of it.
01:09:39 Finally saw the Mean Girls.
01:09:40 I've been waiting to try to catch them and be like, "Yo, come on radio."
01:09:44 So I just ran into them in the hallway.
01:09:46 1230, Wednesday, Mean Girls, Barstool Radio.
01:09:50 Yeah, I saw Dave's tweet.
01:09:52 Dave tweeted that, "You know what is tone deaf to me?
01:09:55 An easily expendable person like yourself not writing one blog over a weekend after layoffs."
01:10:00 He's absolutely right.
01:10:02 I don't think that I'm expendable.
01:10:04 And B, that I should have written blogs over the weekend.
01:10:06 I need to do better.
01:10:07 No excuses there.
01:10:08 I guess the issue I have with him is--not issue.
01:10:11 It's probably too dramatic.
01:10:12 But the thing I disagree with on him is he said, "I don't think tone deaf people should chirp tone deaf people."
01:10:17 And I don't know.
01:10:18 I think if someone does something that I disagree with, I'm going to chirp them.
01:10:21 And I'm going to go back at them if I feel it's the right thing to do.
01:10:24 So I don't regret the tweet at all.
01:10:25 I definitely should have blogged.
01:10:26 This is going to be a big episode.
01:10:28 I think this is going to be a big one.
01:10:29 Dave is going to join us shortly after he wraps up Pick 'Em.
01:10:32 The Mean Girls, Alex and Jordan, are going to join at 1230.
01:10:37 I think this is an episode that probably should have happened about six months ago
01:10:41 and has been lingering and growing bigger and bigger and bigger,
01:10:46 this The Mean Girls thing with Barstool.
01:10:48 They post the video.
01:10:51 A lot of hate.
01:10:52 People say you're insensitive.
01:10:53 They delete it.
01:10:54 Michelangelo, former producer here, kind of led the charge.
01:10:57 The issue I have with them is deleting it, first of all.
01:11:00 Yeah, you have to say sorry, not sorry, and then delete it and say sorry.
01:11:02 Yeah.
01:11:03 [laughter]
01:11:04 That's a good point.
01:11:06 Everyone complains they're never here, so then you should have no opinion of them.
01:11:09 Also, I wouldn't be coming in to this place to report if this is--
01:11:12 Well, that's the other thing too.
01:11:13 You want to talk about driving people out of the fucking company,
01:11:15 congratulations, everyone who tweeted this.
01:11:17 For real.
01:11:18 You're about to boot them out the door, so I would think twice about that.
01:11:21 This is my fault because I ran social on Monday.
01:11:23 So long story short, Stoolies hate us and all our comments are always like,
01:11:27 "Hope you get fired," blah, blah, blah.
01:11:29 So I was like, "Oh, we didn't get fired."
01:11:30 So I made a video being like walking into the office,
01:11:33 and I said on Monday that we didn't get fired,
01:11:35 but I know it was Tuesday to them because people think we're idiots.
01:11:39 And it was just--I didn't really think about our actual coworkers who got laid off,
01:11:43 and it was insensitive to them.
01:11:45 But it was mainly just a joke towards the Stoolies, and I don't think it was that serious.
01:11:48 But there were some old coworkers who were really coming from my head.
01:11:51 Actually, coworkers who still work here are coming from my head.
01:11:54 So I was like, "Okay, I'm good."
01:11:56 We work at Barstool Sports, and everyone's acting like we're so sensitive.
01:12:00 It's the weirdest thing. I don't know.
01:12:01 I don't know when I became less sensitive than my coworkers--
01:12:07 or more insensitive, if that's the right word--than when the people who work here.
01:12:11 I don't know.
01:12:12 So I think they'll be fine.
01:12:14 I think fights will agree with me.
01:12:15 But also I do understand why people in the office would get kind of sick of them
01:12:19 and annoyed by them, because they do act like Caller Daddy,
01:12:23 which we used to get annoyed by, but Caller Daddy was fucking Caller Daddy.
01:12:26 Mean Girls does good on Clips.
01:12:28 I have no idea what numbers are or anything.
01:12:30 But you can't act like fucking Tom Brady when--
01:12:33 When you're not Tom Brady.
01:12:34 They have their podcast.
01:12:35 I think there was a time where it was driving a decent amount of downloads.
01:12:39 I don't know if it is anymore.
01:12:40 So I think the Mean Girls needed to be in the office because they're getting paid to do so.
01:12:44 I think they need to be in the office because it's Barstool,
01:12:46 and like Dave said, we don't hide from shit.
01:12:48 We talk about it publicly and we get through it.
01:12:50 When you just run away and hide, people are just like, "We're just going to keep making those jokes."
01:12:53 All right, we got the Mean Girls here.
01:12:56 I mean, everybody here is basically on your side.
01:13:01 On your side in the sense I thought it was a very tone-deaf, dumb tweet, but you owned up to it.
01:13:08 But everybody here kind of is in agreeance that the hate is pretty much out of control
01:13:15 and people aren't being honest about it, and it's a different type of hate than other ball-busting hate.
01:13:21 But I'll let you guys--I don't know, where are you guys at on everything?
01:13:26 So I have a question for you.
01:13:28 Okay.
01:13:29 So how is that video more insensitive than your Minute Man?
01:13:33 Wait, what did I say?
01:13:35 Your Minute Man was--so many people got laid off, but the person who had it the worst was Mook.
01:13:39 Yes, yes, yes.
01:13:40 I do think there's a double standard.
01:13:42 I think the people who come for you don't like you.
01:13:46 Oh my god, yeah.
01:13:47 And they just don't say that.
01:13:48 They come up with a different reason.
01:13:50 How do you feel about internal drama, guys?
01:13:52 None of this would go--because everyone's super soft around here.
01:13:55 That's my take.
01:13:56 People are mad about tweets.
01:13:57 People are mad about people responding to tweets.
01:13:59 Everyone's crying.
01:14:00 It's crazy.
01:14:02 It's crazy.
01:14:03 But we're going to bring it back.
01:14:04 We're going to bring it back.
01:14:05 We're going to bring it back with us.
01:14:06 I truly made it to just be like, "Hi, Stoolies.
01:14:09 We're still here.
01:14:10 You can't get rid of us.
01:14:11 We're still part of Barstool."
01:14:13 But then when I posted it and I saw that it was hurting a lot of our coworkers who got
01:14:18 laid off who are our friends, like Nick, our producer, who we absolutely love, got laid
01:14:22 off, and a lot of our other friends, I was like, "Oh, shit.
01:14:24 That was so insensitive and rude because I love the people who got laid off, and I'm
01:14:28 so sorry that they did."
01:14:30 And I didn't realize I actually hurt their feelings, so then I removed it.
01:14:32 But then I saw people coming for me that currently work at Barstool who don't work in corporate--or
01:14:39 sorry, don't work in content, and some coworkers who I've never spoken to a day in my life
01:14:43 coming for me saying they hate me, and I'm like, "I've never even spoken to you."
01:14:47 Yeah, those people are fucking idiots.
01:14:49 And I told Aria to shut the fuck up.
01:14:51 Yeah.
01:14:52 I texted them when I saw it.
01:14:54 If you want to come at a content person, be in content.
01:14:59 If you came for me, I respect that.
01:15:00 If you come for me, I respect that.
01:15:01 But when somebody specifically says they do not want to be in content and someone who
01:15:05 is high up at the company is coming at a content person, I think that's one, so inappropriate.
01:15:10 Two, we have people who work in this office who are tweeting things at me saying, "That
01:15:14 was so insensitive, Jordan Blah Blah.
01:15:15 I've never spoken to you a day in my life.
01:15:17 Come talk to me."
01:15:18 You could literally say anything you want to my face because you talk to me, and you've
01:15:23 said things to my face.
01:15:24 Yeah, you'll say it to our face if you want to tweet it.
01:15:26 But Aria has had to email us apologizing before on Twitter.
01:15:30 That's crazy.
01:15:31 Oh, and he's had to email us before.
01:15:32 This is time.
01:15:33 And we'll see Aria in the office, and what's he do?
01:15:35 I'm like, "Yo, no, you want to say it?"
01:15:37 Even like Ken Jack or Clemmer, they're telling me I'm super tone deaf and insensitive.
01:15:42 Ken Jack, I've never said one word to you.
01:15:44 Clemmer, every time you see me, it's been the nicest encounters in the world.
01:15:48 So come to me and tell me that.
01:15:50 I was here yesterday.
01:15:51 People saw me yesterday.
01:15:52 So it's just like the thing that pisses me off, it's like, say it to my face, or at
01:15:57 least talk to me on a regular basis if you're going to go behind your Twitter fingers and
01:16:01 talk shit about me.
01:16:02 Is Clemmer here?
01:16:03 You want to--
01:16:04 Yeah, he's been in the background a bunch.
01:16:06 Clemmer, you went on the rundown, and I feel like you were kind of like-- thought you were
01:16:12 like speaking for the office, and then I think you might have tweeted some stuff, I don't
01:16:14 know.
01:16:15 Dave came--
01:16:16 Yeah, he tweeted some stuff.
01:16:17 I did.
01:16:18 Yeah.
01:16:19 I stand by my tweet, too.
01:16:20 I thought it was a--
01:16:21 What do you care?
01:16:22 Why don't you mind your own business?
01:16:23 I thought it was a shitty tweet, and I called it out.
01:16:25 I'm not going to-- I'm not going to stick to some hierarchy of who and who I can't go
01:16:29 after.
01:16:30 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:31 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:32 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:33 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:34 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:35 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:36 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:37 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:38 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:39 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:40 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:41 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:42 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:43 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:44 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:45 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:46 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:47 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:48 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:49 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:50 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:51 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:52 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:54 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:55 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:56 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:57 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:58 I'm not going to do that.
01:16:59 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:00 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:01 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:02 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:03 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:04 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:05 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:06 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:07 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:08 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:09 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:10 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:11 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:12 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:13 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:14 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:15 I'm not going to do that.
01:17:16 He said he did it on my own stake.
01:17:18 We got Price and Asher over here, my way.
01:17:20 What was so offensive about their tweet?
01:17:22 I thought it was a shitty tweet.
01:17:23 It's incentive.
01:17:24 She took it down and apologized.
01:17:26 I think it's over.
01:17:27 I have no problem with either Jordan or Alex.
01:17:29 I like both of them.
01:17:30 I have nothing but good experiences and good conversations with both of them.
01:17:34 We've worked together for a year.
01:17:35 I have no problem with either of these two.
01:17:37 I thought it was a shitty tweet.
01:17:38 I said so.
01:17:39 What do you guys think right now?
01:17:40 The tweet, Klemmer, all this?
01:17:41 I thought you came in a little hot.
01:17:42 You were like, "I'm not going to be some bitch about it."
01:17:44 When he asked you, did you really think it was that insensitive?
01:17:48 It seemed like a different tone.
01:17:50 Two different things.
01:17:51 I'm not going to be a bitch as far as not ever calling someone out.
01:17:54 If something's wrong, I'm going to come out and say it.
01:17:57 That's your video?
01:17:58 That's your war?
01:17:59 Every time you see something that you don't agree with on the internet,
01:18:01 you're just like, "That's the one?"
01:18:03 Klemmer, I have a question.
01:18:05 Did I raise you up?
01:18:06 Yeah.
01:18:07 That video?
01:18:08 I thought the video was shitty.
01:18:09 I asked them to come on the rundown to explain it, and no one could find them.
01:18:13 We were in that room.
01:18:14 Oh, wait.
01:18:15 Why?
01:18:16 But, Klemmer, why?
01:18:17 Who the fuck are you?
01:18:18 I was a person right now talking about a situation.
01:18:21 Then why do you even have a microphone on me then?
01:18:23 What channel is this on?
01:18:25 Why do you even have a microphone on me?
01:18:27 This one?
01:18:28 Yes.
01:18:29 I'm going to tune in.
01:18:31 [inaudible]
01:18:35 Oh, my God.
01:18:36 Oh, my God.
01:18:38 [inaudible]
01:18:41 I'm logged in.
01:18:42 [inaudible]
01:18:49 Dave's cursing.
01:18:51 Then why even put me on that position to talk at all?
01:18:53 Earn a spot at the table, which you haven't done.
01:18:56 I'm doing the best I can, Dave.
01:18:58 And if that's not good enough for you, you're the boss, and I got to do better.
01:19:00 But that's what I'm trying to do.
01:19:02 I don't know if you're willing to attack anybody regardless of hierarchy over anything at any point.
01:19:06 No, no, no, but what did you think was so bad with the video?
01:19:10 You seem like you really thought it was a bunch of bull--
01:19:12 And that's fine, you're entitled, but what did you think was so bad about it?
01:19:15 I just thought it was--I keep saying the word tone deaf--but I just thought it was--I don't know--not--
01:19:21 I just thought it wasn't--it wasn't kind.
01:19:24 It just seemed needless to almost rub it in their face that people just got unemployed.
01:19:29 You interpreted that they were rubbing it in people's face, or did you--
01:19:31 I interpreted that they didn't give a shit.
01:19:33 Choking all the bullshit up in her.
01:19:37 That those mean girls are spitting out through their mean mouths.
01:19:41 I wish you fired them instead of Clemmer.
01:19:44 The--the things that people are allowed to say to us who work here, who don't work in content, is mind-blowing.
01:19:51 I think the shit Aria did was fucking 20 times worse than the shit Clemmer did.
01:19:55 I texted Aria on the side, "Shut the fuck up."
01:19:59 When you're the last fucking guy on the bench, you don't get misreads.
01:20:03 You don't get misreads in that situation.
01:20:05 But I'm still gonna take my swings, though, Dave.
01:20:07 If I don't do that, then I'm always gonna be the--the Jeff Fry.
01:20:11 You're gonna be unemployed.
01:20:12 You think they attacked or were insensitive to laid-off people.
01:20:17 If people believe that about them on a large scale, it makes it harder for them to gain audience and build.
01:20:24 Knowing that, you would still tweet it out.
01:20:29 Um, I--I--I think I would.
01:20:33 I think I would. I'm gonna be honest.
01:20:35 That is why I can't have you here.
01:20:37 Okay. I--I just don't think I would ever intentionally try to hurt the company or hurt somebody.
01:20:42 Like, I--I--I certainly wouldn't intentionally try to do that.
01:20:47 Little bit better, I think.
01:20:50 I don't know what to tell you.
01:20:52 Now--now, Clemmer, you can get off and leave.
01:20:55 I--I almost want to fire.
01:20:59 I thought you were about to.
01:21:00 I thought--
01:21:01 I just saved his career.
01:21:02 I just saved his moment there.
01:21:03 If--if he didn't answer that a tad bit better, I was ready to fire him.
01:21:08 Sometimes you make your bed with Dave. That's it.
01:21:10 Another day here at Barstow Radio, we're talking Mean Girls.
01:21:13 We invited them to judge the OnlyFans pageant we had yesterday,
01:21:18 which would have been perfect for them to be in and just ghost it on us.
01:21:23 Yeah, so I talked to Alex today about that because I caught wind of it, because I asked if they're in the office.
01:21:28 She said she was sick, not really an excuse to not get back to you.
01:21:33 So they're done.
01:21:35 Yeah, 'cause--oh, they're done?
01:21:36 Yeah.
01:21:37 Fire.
01:21:38 Mean Girls are done?
01:21:39 Are they really?
01:21:40 Yeah.
01:21:41 What happened?
01:21:42 Did the committee finally catch up with them?
01:21:43 They just--I don't know.
01:21:45 When?
01:21:46 I don't know. Just now. They just said it.
01:21:47 What did he say?
01:21:48 I feel like he thought I was going to fire.
01:21:49 He said that they ditched the OnlyFans thing yesterday, and he found out, and he--
01:21:53 They didn't--they didn't tell anybody, and I guess Alex's contract's been up.
01:21:56 Jordan's is up in two weeks, and he called Alex, and she was just like, "I get it."
01:21:59 And, you know, that's that.
01:22:04 I got to talk to Jordan still. I did text her.
01:22:06 I talked to Alex, and, again, I was pretty blunt.
01:22:09 I was like, "She said she didn't feel well."
01:22:12 The fact they didn't even get back to Kevin about it really bothered me.
01:22:15 The last conversation I had with them, I said, "If you're going to do Barstool, you got to do it and come in and be a part of shit."
01:22:23 And people were saying, "Come to the office." They were like, "Well, when we did come to the office, everybody shit on us."
01:22:27 And that made--when they said that to me, I was like, "I think these girls are--checked out."
01:22:32 In light of everything we just went through with, like, the layoffs, and it's, you know--
01:22:38 it's tough to keep two people who seemingly have no interest in being here.
01:22:42 Breaking news on Barstool Radio.
01:22:44 Mean Girls are done at Barstool.
01:22:47 Pseudo-firing, more of a "We're not going to renew your contracts," and it just expired.
01:22:51 But I also think it was the last straw, whether they had contracts expiring or not.
01:22:56 Blowing off the pageant, I think, was--after all the speeches, after all the second tries,
01:23:02 after all the encouragement and going to bat to not show up and then not even text back or even give an excuse.
01:23:10 You know, there's only so many times you can try.
01:23:13 And I think it was awkward because I think Jordan might have been in the office today and didn't know this.
01:23:17 I heard that.
01:23:18 And then he said it out loud.
01:23:20 What do you mean she didn't know this?
01:23:21 Yeah, see, that's where it gets blurry.
01:23:23 Jordan's just in our studio.
01:23:25 In our studio?
01:23:26 That's exactly what I did.
01:23:27 They asked to do a VO today, and I said--I was like, "Oh, yeah, of course."
01:23:30 Well, I'm not going in there until someone tells her.
01:23:32 I said, "I'm going home."
01:23:35 Does she know?
01:23:36 The way Dave made it seem is like--he did say he still has to talk to Jordan.
01:23:40 No, she has to know.
01:23:41 I mean, I don't know if she followed Viva to school at all, but--
01:23:43 This is crazy.
01:23:45 Who am I going to tell?
01:23:46 We could have broken another retirement to somebody online.
01:23:49 Whatever you want to call it.
01:23:50 He said I haven't talked to Jordan, but I haven't.
01:23:52 Oh, okay.
01:23:53 Oh, my God.
01:23:54 Oh, my God.
01:23:55 I know.
01:23:56 I've never talked to her in my life.
01:23:57 Me and Trevor are looking for a quiet room.
01:23:59 It's like, what better empty place than to see you on radio?
01:24:02 Is she recording something right now?
01:24:03 She was doing a VO in there, but that was at 1230 it was supposed to be.
01:24:06 I did see Brian in there when Dave was--
01:24:07 Well, I got in.
01:24:08 He was doing the--
01:24:09 What did you say when you saw her?
01:24:11 I couldn't have closed the door quicker!
01:24:14 You guys want to see what he's doing in the messy room?
01:24:16 I'm like, "Oh, I'm not looking that up."
01:24:17 Do you think she can get sent back to the farm?
01:24:19 I don't know.
01:24:20 That's a tough thing.
01:24:21 Do you think she wants to go back to the farm?
01:24:22 I don't know if this big city's too tough.
01:24:24 You never know.
01:24:26 Do you think that you were single-handedly the reason that they lost their jobs
01:24:29 because you bullied them out of here?
01:24:31 You know, it's something that I'm going to have to consider moving forward
01:24:34 if the power that I hold--
01:24:36 Well, I know.
01:24:37 Now that you're a president, it's right on trend for a political party--
01:24:39 It is true.
01:24:40 --to push out the weak.
01:24:42 There was a significant drop-off after Keegs--
01:24:44 Oh, Keegs murdered it.
01:24:45 Yeah.
01:24:46 She ruined it.
01:24:47 You killed--
01:24:48 I killed them, for sure.
01:24:49 But I also--I wish that they'd talk to me.
01:24:51 They refused to talk to me.
01:24:52 I texted them.
01:24:53 I tried to talk to them in person.
01:24:54 I briefly talked to Alex.
01:24:55 Do you and Minahan--what is your relationship now?
01:24:58 We float.
01:24:59 They're best friends.
01:25:00 We float around.
01:25:01 You basically are Kirk.
01:25:02 And you seem to kind of be like, "Oh, they're gone.
01:25:03 That's what Kirk does when he runs someone out."
01:25:04 He's like, "All right, he's gone.
01:25:05 Next."
01:25:06 Well, I don't think they're crying.
01:25:07 He's just like, "Next planet."
01:25:08 Yeah, who's the next target, Kelly?
01:25:09 I don't think they're crying about it because if they wanted to stay,
01:25:11 they would have stayed.
01:25:12 And you always talk about, "Alex just wanted to be here for so long."
01:25:14 Whatever, blah, blah, blah.
01:25:15 If she wanted to be here so long, she'd still be here.
01:25:16 It makes my life much easier as the person who has the higher talent
01:25:20 to have the other talent run and the talent we hire out of here.
01:25:23 When they were in the office, they were doing much better.
01:25:25 And then Keegs made it impossible for them to come in the office.
01:25:28 Keegs killed them.
01:25:29 You actually killed a potentially very successful manager.
01:25:34 People are afraid of complications.
01:25:36 He was going like this, and then Kelly killed him, and it went like that.
01:25:38 So six months later when no one has ever been mean to them, to their face,
01:25:42 even after I wrote that blog, you went up to them and said,
01:25:44 "I think it was a little harsh on Kelly."
01:25:46 I was laughing at you watch Clem or talk.
01:25:48 I was expecting--
01:25:49 People went up to them and said Kelly was too mean.
01:25:51 The girls, all the girls texted them.
01:25:53 Bria, Fran, Bree, Grace, all of them said, "Hey, I understand," whatever.
01:25:58 And they all told me, they said, "Hey, listen, I talked to the girls."
01:25:59 I said, "I totally understand. That's fine. That's fine.
01:26:02 I'm not trying to alienate them from this office."
01:26:04 Everyone talked to them.
01:26:05 Well, they're dead now.
01:26:07 They're dead bodies.
01:26:09 You can't be friends with dead people.
01:26:12 And that's fine, but I refuse to say that I am the reason that they couldn't come to work for six months.
01:26:17 That's fucking bullshit. You know that's bullshit.
01:26:19 That is correct.
01:26:20 You're only the reason their show took a drastic downturn in numbers.
01:26:23 Yes.
01:26:24 You might not be the only thing coming off it, but you are the reason their show stopped.
01:26:27 The calendar just not allowing it.
01:26:28 The downturn that coincided with Kelly's blog.
01:26:29 If you don't work here, they're still mad.
01:26:31 Yeah. Fact. That's 100% a fact.
01:26:33 If people couldn't hear that, Dave said, "If Kelly doesn't work here, mean girls still."
01:26:36 If that blog is never written, nothing ever happens.
01:26:39 We're at One Bite Pizza Fest.
01:27:01 First ever of its kind. Best pizza in the world.
01:27:03 There's been a lot of controversy.
01:27:05 I've stomped it out.
01:27:06 Like, just putting out little fucking twigs, little fires.
01:27:09 Just stomping on Kenji "Alt" Lopez's fucking fat fucking loser face.
01:27:14 The Washington Post's Emily Heal.
01:27:16 Fucking ruined her.
01:27:18 And now we're just having fun eating pizza.
01:27:20 Thank you. I appreciate it.
01:27:22 So how long have you been at One Bite Pizza Fest?
01:27:24 So my dad is the director of operations. I'm 15.
01:27:27 Alright. So what are we going to do about that Florida location?
01:27:30 My dad got it. So he went on a rampage.
01:27:33 What he did is he went down there. He spent a couple weeks there.
01:27:37 We changed the boxes. We rebuilt it.
01:27:40 I go, "What are you going to do with the Florida?"
01:27:42 We took the punch. We took the punch.
01:27:44 Listen, I love you guys. I had it. It was bad.
01:27:48 And you guys are great.
01:27:49 We improved.
01:27:50 What I had up there was as good as I had in New Haven.
01:27:53 And the one I had in Florida.
01:27:55 We took the punch. We made the corrections.
01:27:57 We fixed the boxes.
01:27:59 So it's good now.
01:28:00 We checked the water filter.
01:28:01 We made a personnel change.
01:28:03 We are ready to go and park.
01:28:05 We opened up Delray too.
01:28:07 Let's do it.
01:28:09 Come on. This is New Haven.
01:28:11 [Cheering]
01:28:21 However you want it.
01:28:22 This is perfect.
01:28:23 This is what I need.
01:28:24 You love being here.
01:28:25 This is what I need to hear.
01:28:27 I love it. I love it.
01:28:29 Yeah, we're only as good as our last pizza.
01:28:32 [Laughter]
01:28:35 We got a great photo.
01:28:37 I'm excited to be here.
01:28:38 I'm glad you guys are here.
01:28:40 Yeah, let's party today, folks.
01:28:42 Frank Pepe.
01:28:43 New Haven is here.
01:28:45 Pepe's guy was unbelievable.
01:28:47 The Pepe's guy was unbelievable.
01:28:49 Of course he's in LA.
01:28:50 When Elio texted me, he's like, "My buddy works there."
01:28:52 He said he went and lived after that review in Florida for a month.
01:28:55 [Cheering]
01:29:00 It's coming in hot.
01:29:01 Let's make Dave make a pizza.
01:29:03 Unbelievable.
01:29:04 Come on. You want to make a pie?
01:29:06 Come on. One more. One more.
01:29:08 You want me to make it?
01:29:09 Sorry, guys.
01:29:10 I got to clean my hands properly.
01:29:12 It's your pizza. I ain't eating it.
01:29:13 All right. Fine.
01:29:14 Stretch it.
01:29:15 You want dirt over there.
01:29:17 Stretch it.
01:29:18 That's what you told me to do.
01:29:19 Stretch it.
01:29:20 The way you split that, I kind of remember last time you did it.
01:29:23 Over, under, over, under, over, under.
01:29:25 Yeah, over, under, over, under, over, under.
01:29:28 Over, under.
01:29:29 Dave, you're making a mess.
01:29:31 What are you talking about?
01:29:32 I don't have one of your other things.
01:29:33 It's a pizza festival.
01:29:34 I don't have one of your shirts on.
01:29:35 Don't leave the pattern in the oven.
01:29:37 I was on the steak last time.
01:29:38 I'm never going to hear it again.
01:29:40 Oh, God.
01:29:41 What?
01:29:42 You're a lefty, right?
01:29:44 I'm a lefty.
01:29:45 That explains it.
01:29:47 Circles, right?
01:29:48 Right in the middle. Right in the middle.
01:29:50 I thought I was doing circles.
01:29:52 You're doing circles.
01:29:54 All right, all right.
01:29:56 This guy's made 9,000 pizzas.
01:29:58 He gets in my ass about not knowing how to make a pizza.
01:30:02 You don't know how to make a pizza?
01:30:04 I've never made a pizza.
01:30:05 He gets in my ass.
01:30:06 You don't know how to make the circle?
01:30:08 No, I don't know how to make a circle.
01:30:09 I've never made a pizza.
01:30:11 How's that?
01:30:12 Good.
01:30:13 This cheese is so good.
01:30:15 [music]
01:30:26 Welcome to Dave Portnoy's One Bite Pizza Fest.
01:30:29 Thank you for showing up today.
01:30:31 We are going to blind taste test six of Dave's all-time favorites.
01:30:39 We're going to bring them out right now.
01:30:40 Make some noise for El Perez, Dave Portnoy.
01:30:44 [applause]
01:30:47 [music]
01:30:54 Patsy's.
01:30:55 Ooh, close. Sally's.
01:30:58 [applause]
01:31:01 I'm supposed to know what I'm choosing from.
01:31:02 I don't even know if Patsy's was in the contest.
01:31:04 I tried to coordinate with you all week.
01:31:06 Impossible to get ahold of.
01:31:08 Sorry, I was under attack from fucking the Washington Post.
01:31:12 I couldn't return your call, Dante.
01:31:14 [music]
01:31:21 That could be Monty's Colony Grill.
01:31:24 It's Colony Grill?
01:31:25 Colony Grill. Great, great job.
01:31:27 [applause]
01:31:31 All right, that's impressive. Nice work.
01:31:34 Do you know how hard that is?
01:31:35 Very hard.
01:31:36 Dave's Pizza Reviews, we love the most,
01:31:39 but you know who we hate the fucking Washington Post.
01:31:42 Barstool fans, you'll all agree.
01:31:45 [music]
01:31:49 Barstool fans, you'll all agree.
01:31:51 You can one-bite these nuts, Tim and Emily.
01:31:54 [cheering]
01:31:56 Hey, give me some. Give me some.
01:31:58 I love it. That was fire. That was gas.
01:32:01 [laughter]
01:32:02 Dating show day. The set is all ready.
01:32:05 Some great pictures of myself.
01:32:07 Show that I could be a father one day.
01:32:09 Show I could be cool.
01:32:11 Show I like ice cream.
01:32:13 I'm excited. It's going to be a lot of fun.
01:32:15 Tommy has a dating show tonight,
01:32:17 and he has six women from New York City vying for his love.
01:32:20 A comedian, an OnlyFans girl.
01:32:23 Who's the survivor?
01:32:27 Oh, yeah, the woman from Survivor, dude,
01:32:29 and three various Italians, a grab bag of Italians.
01:32:32 It's a fucking six women coming in,
01:32:34 vying for Tommy's love.
01:32:36 They'll be playing basketball, doing a podcast challenge,
01:32:38 speed dating him, complimenting him.
01:32:40 It's going to be a very complete night,
01:32:43 and at the end of the night, one of these women
01:32:45 is going home with Tommy Smokes.
01:32:47 Are my tits popping?
01:32:49 It's like date hat.
01:32:51 [laughter]
01:32:54 You kind of look crispy, though.
01:32:56 You kind of look like an evil South African guy on a safari.
01:32:58 Thank you.
01:33:00 That's the nicest thing I've ever felt in my life.
01:33:04 Oh.
01:33:11 Now do one with you kissing this frog,
01:33:15 and then when there's a winner,
01:33:17 you replace the winner with the frog.
01:33:21 So it's like the frog turns into the girl
01:33:23 that you wanted to kiss,
01:33:25 and you want to kiss her again.
01:33:27 [music]
01:33:32 [laughter]
01:33:34 Excited, nervous, anxious.
01:33:37 Ready to have a good show.
01:33:39 Hopefully they all are in on the joke,
01:33:41 because that could be very bad if they're not.
01:33:43 They actually come here thinking that they're going to find love.
01:33:46 I don't know if that's going to happen today.
01:33:48 I'm more excited to see if one of these girls
01:33:50 thinks this is actually real,
01:33:52 because I think it would be so much more funny.
01:33:54 I would find it hard to believe that they would think that.
01:33:58 What are you doing?
01:34:03 Slow-mo.
01:34:05 Oh, okay. Kill 'em then.
01:34:07 [laughter]
01:34:09 Does it look good?
01:34:11 Everyone's saying, "The NDAs are ready to go."
01:34:16 You just look to me.
01:34:18 If you're stressing, if you don't know what's about to happen--
01:34:20 This is a normal crew of guys, right?
01:34:22 It's like, "Oh, yeah, this is totally cool."
01:34:25 I think this is going to be deeply uncomfortable.
01:34:29 I think they're going to feel uncomfortable.
01:34:31 I think Tom is going to feel uncomfortable.
01:34:33 I mean, it should be funny at least.
01:34:36 But no one's going to come out of this feeling good.
01:34:38 This girl only put her first name.
01:34:41 She's like Madonna.
01:34:43 [laughter]
01:34:47 This girl also only put her first name.
01:34:49 She's all like Madonna.
01:34:53 We have Olivia.
01:34:55 She's almost here.
01:34:57 She's been almost here for how long, Tom?
01:34:59 How are they all?
01:35:00 They were great.
01:35:01 Oh, yeah.
01:35:02 What'd they say?
01:35:04 I can't tell you.
01:35:05 Do they like me?
01:35:07 Some of them.
01:35:08 They want to be here.
01:35:09 They want to win.
01:35:10 That's the list randomizer to eliminate the first person, but I rig it.
01:35:14 No, no, no.
01:35:15 No, but I rig it.
01:35:16 Based on the conversation.
01:35:17 I do that, but for their sake.
01:35:18 You know what I mean?
01:35:19 No, no, just based on the conversation.
01:35:21 You've got to pull it together.
01:35:23 You've got to be in control.
01:35:25 Take a deep breath.
01:35:26 They're nice.
01:35:27 They came here, and then they have to stick around.
01:35:29 They'll be having so much fucking fun, though.
01:35:30 What are you talking about?
01:35:31 I don't know what to do.
01:35:33 They don't win anything if they win.
01:35:34 What are you--
01:35:35 [laughter]
01:35:37 All right, all the girls are here.
01:35:38 Almost.
01:35:39 One left.
01:35:40 And I think I'm in love with all of them.
01:35:42 So I guess it's going to be hard to know who to eliminate first.
01:35:46 You don't have to pick that.
01:35:47 You're about to have first introductions,
01:35:48 and then you're going to have a speed dating round with all of them,
01:35:50 and you're going to find out.
01:35:51 I could tell they're really all obsessed with me already.
01:35:54 I turned on a little bit of charm, and they're all obsessed with me.
01:35:57 This is going to be the hardest night of my life, but I'm going to find my wife.
01:36:02 I'm making the real-life prediction that nobody's going to know this when it happens.
01:36:08 When the book of Barstool is written one day, though,
01:36:11 people are going to look back on this and say that's how Tommy found his wife.
01:36:14 In the moment, they're going to keep it quiet, because they're going to be like,
01:36:17 "We can't tell people we met on this reality show."
01:36:19 He's saying right now, he's telling all the girls, "Oh, this is just going to be fun.
01:36:22 We're going to just have fun on camera, be yourself, blah, blah, blah."
01:36:26 He's going to meet his wife tonight, and I'm happy to be here for it.
01:36:30 Yeah, you can either be one.
01:36:33 Maybe she's playing hard to get.
01:36:36 What if you let the girls--as soon as she gets here, just let the girls vote someone off.
01:36:41 They'll obviously vote off the late one and be like, "Do you see how women turn on each other?"
01:36:45 And then send them all home.
01:36:48 That's really the lesson of tonight.
01:36:50 I'm the fluffer. I'm the gay best friend. I'm the bestie.
01:36:53 I'm friend-zoning myself. I'm taking care of these queens, making sure they're all comfortable,
01:36:57 and they all get everything they need.
01:36:59 Shout-out to Tommy. I'm enjoying my job, though. I will say that.
01:37:03 [music]
01:37:31 I got two girlfriends tonight, so nice.
01:37:35 And book has six.
01:37:37 I think it went perfectly.
01:37:39 It was an organic tie between two of our best competitors.
01:37:43 Maybe we should have had an odd number, but I think it worked out for Tommy in the end.
01:37:47 He just walked away from this competition with two new girlfriends.
01:37:52 Just the tears of fallen angels, you know?
01:37:55 Just dumping one out for each of the angels that came here tonight.
01:37:58 That's for Jeannie. That's two for Jeannie, because you know what?
01:38:01 The best cameo I've ever seen in my entire life.
01:38:05 Blake, you fucking snake.
01:38:08 Blake rhymes "snake," and you are a fucking snake.
01:38:11 I mean, Sandra, she knows.
01:38:15 She knows that you are cheating on her.
01:38:18 That's right. She knows you're cheating on her, and she says you are.
01:38:24 O-U-T. Out!
01:38:26 You know, this is supposed to be your fifth anniversary.
01:38:28 Well, it didn't make it.
01:38:30 You fucking lost. You bailed on plans.
01:38:33 Well, if you don't want to be with her on your fifth anniversary, then that's it.
01:38:36 You're out. You're dumped.
01:38:38 You're a fucking goddamn feeble-ass motherfucking fucker.
01:38:42 Tell him, Frank.
01:38:44 I mean, all the time Sandra wasted on you.
01:38:46 It's a shame. It's a shame.
01:38:48 And you're cheating on her.
01:38:49 You pathetic piece of shit, Blake.
01:38:51 Oh, my God.
01:38:53 Oh, my God, dude.
01:38:55 I see a future for him doing, like, the Maury show of being like,
01:39:00 "You don't fucking sit down on my stage.
01:39:02 Cheaters don't sit on my fucking stage.
01:39:04 Get the fuck up."
01:39:05 Steve Wilkos-ing people.
01:39:07 Like, if he's actually delivering the news, that's--
01:39:11 He said, what, five years that relationship was for?
01:39:14 That's not like, oh, like, the girl--
01:39:16 like, your college girlfriend for three months is cheating on you.
01:39:20 Five years, this is like--
01:39:22 Oh, my God, dude.
01:39:24 Having a girlfriend with that much, like, wherewithal
01:39:29 to know that that's how you break a man's heart,
01:39:31 by having Frank the Tank turn on him,
01:39:33 that's fucking devastating.
01:39:35 Holy shit.
01:39:36 We need to make a show out of that.
01:39:38 That is fucking hilarious.
01:39:40 I'm Frank Stan. I love it. I love that.
01:39:42 Did you see that, John?
01:39:44 Frank doing the cameo.
01:39:46 I just saw that. How did I miss that?
01:39:48 Yes, that is unreal.
01:39:49 That's unbelievable.
01:39:50 I wish I could--
01:39:52 I wish I could be one of the guys.
01:39:54 That's crazy.
01:39:55 Like, yes, 'cause the alternative is, like,
01:39:58 someone showing me how I broke their heart
01:40:01 and how my actions hurt them and all that.
01:40:04 And I'm like, I feel terrible.
01:40:06 You think that him getting this video is, like,
01:40:08 makes it one big joke?
01:40:09 Option B is Frank sitting on the couch,
01:40:11 slouched over and going,
01:40:13 "Sandra wasted her time on you."
01:40:15 Like, that's the best way to find out
01:40:17 your girlfriend found out you were cheating.
01:40:19 This is why I'll never be fucking Todd Dale.
01:40:21 I'm not fucking bitches like that.
01:40:23 'Cause he's a Frank fan, I guess, this guy.
01:40:25 Yeah, but I think it's almost--
01:40:27 I think I'd rather not see the person
01:40:30 who I at least supposedly once loved hurt
01:40:33 because of what I did.
01:40:35 Well, I have a feeling that if she's paying for cameos
01:40:37 to be like, "Hey, FYI, you've been exposed,"
01:40:39 I don't think it stops there.
01:40:40 I think that this is probably gonna be
01:40:42 a long, drawn-out process.
01:40:43 I can't imagine that he's getting off that easy.
01:40:46 Five years? You didn't make it to five years.
01:40:50 It's supposed to be your five-year anniversary?
01:40:52 Oh, no, no, that was excellent.
01:40:54 Bravo, bravo.
01:40:55 How would you even react to that?
01:40:57 I want to see the couple.
01:40:58 I really want to see the couple, like, who it is.
01:41:00 I won't expose them. I don't want to.
01:41:02 I really want to see it.
01:41:03 Ron said he should get his own, like, Maury show,
01:41:05 like Steve Wilkos.
01:41:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:41:08 I mean, Frank should get, like, a billion shows.
01:41:10 Like, got this poor man walking across Manhattan,
01:41:13 and it's, like, one of the best contents we got.
01:41:15 For the rest of his life,
01:41:17 Frank is just gonna be a reminder of what a scumbag he is.
01:41:20 He's probably really sad. He probably loved that girl.
01:41:22 He delivered that cameo, like, perfectly.
01:41:26 He was--
01:41:27 I want to know the directions that she gave him.
01:41:30 I want to know if he took it to the next level.
01:41:32 Like, did she say, like, "Oh, you--"
01:41:34 'Cause she did say, he was like,
01:41:35 "Oh, she was so good to you.
01:41:37 "She treated you so well, cared so well."
01:41:38 I want to know if he brought that,
01:41:40 or did she throw it in for some extra sauce.
01:41:42 He's a fucking showman.
01:41:43 You know he did that himself.
01:41:45 And the request basically said,
01:41:47 "My boyfriend, Blake,
01:41:49 "blew off our fifth anniversary dinner.
01:41:51 "I don't want to be with him anymore.
01:41:52 "I want to dump him,
01:41:53 "and I know he's been cheating on me.
01:41:55 "So rip into him."
01:41:56 That's awesome.
01:41:57 So you came up with everything that you said, basically,
01:41:59 for the most part?
01:42:00 Yeah, she just gave me, like, a thumbnail,
01:42:02 and I just came up with everything.
01:42:03 That's amazing.
01:42:04 And Blake rhymes with snake, so I couldn't--
01:42:05 It worked.
01:42:06 Hit him with the feeble-ass motherfucker, obviously.
01:42:08 It's a game. What game is that match, dude?
01:42:10 If you were Blake, how could you even date again?
01:42:12 How could you ever date again?
01:42:14 You can't.
01:42:15 I just feel bad.
01:42:16 I feel bad for that boyfriend.
01:42:17 I mean, I know, you know, you're a scumbag,
01:42:19 you're a piece of shit,
01:42:20 but you know he was a Tank fan.
01:42:22 Like, how else would that girl know
01:42:25 that she can get a Frank the Tank cameo?
01:42:27 So now every time that guy gets on the Internet,
01:42:30 he can't even enjoy--
01:42:31 he can't enjoy his Frank content anymore.
01:42:33 But that's the thing, is everyone's commenting,
01:42:35 like, "Oh, imagine, imagine,
01:42:36 "that's how you get broken up with.
01:42:37 "Imagine that's how you get broken up with."
01:42:38 Well, guess what, Blake?
01:42:39 You fucking cheated on Sandra.
01:42:40 You deserve it.
01:42:41 And you cheated on a girl that's funny enough
01:42:43 to get a cameo from Frank the Tank to ride your ass out.
01:42:45 So you took the L here, five years down the drain.
01:42:48 Fuck you, Blake, you feeble-ass motherfucker.
01:42:50 Seriously, Imagine you get a text from your girlfriend,
01:42:53 and it's just like, "Oh, another Frank the Tank video dropped?"
01:42:55 And it's just him calling you a feeble motherfucker.
01:42:59 I want to see how she delivered it.
01:43:01 Like, I hope she-- I would love if she was like,
01:43:03 "Oh, babe, I got you a cameo from you, Tank."
01:43:06 And then you open it, and he's just like,
01:43:08 "You're out, O-U-T out, you're a feeble-ass motherfucker."
01:43:11 It's genius.
01:43:12 If a man ever does me wrong like that,
01:43:14 maybe Frank the Tank will give me a discount or something,
01:43:17 but I'm going to ask him to do the exact same thing for me.
01:43:20 I think he would.
01:43:21 Oh, my God, that Tank video, bro.
01:43:23 There's something-- I really think the funniest part's low-key,
01:43:26 or like the, "I mean."
01:43:27 I mean.
01:43:28 "You know."
01:43:29 You know.
01:43:30 Or he's just like, "I got to make this thing at least a minute long.
01:43:33 I called you a motherfucker a few times.
01:43:35 You are O-U-T is a great one, too."
01:43:38 Like, the cheater's got to be reading that
01:43:40 being like the Adrian Broderick, like, "I ain't going lying.
01:43:43 I'm getting cooked."
01:43:45 That was exactly what I thought when I watched it with Frank.
01:43:48 Just take this man's soul.
01:43:50 Breakup's the next-- I think that's the next needle mover.
01:43:52 That's the next market.
01:43:53 We're coming up in the world.
01:43:55 I think I'm going to be busy this weekend.
01:43:57 More breakups, huh?
01:43:58 Yes.
01:43:59 Let's go.
01:44:00 Did you get any uptick in breakup calls?
01:44:04 I got a little uptick.
01:44:05 I haven't really looked at them.
01:44:07 I was so busy yesterday I didn't get a chance to do too many cameos,
01:44:09 but I'm going to hit the cameos hard tonight.
01:44:12 Remember the show "Cheaters" where that guy got stabbed,
01:44:14 the host of "Cheaters"?
01:44:15 No.
01:44:16 It was a show that was like we ambushed people cheating,
01:44:18 and the fucking host got stabbed in the stomach with a switchblade.
01:44:22 This guy, he gets off easy.
01:44:24 He gets a fucking friend to take him.
01:44:25 All right, welcome to the first ever
01:44:27 Barstool Sports Halloween Costume Contest.
01:44:30 Me, Kelly Keeves, and Gaz will be the judges.
01:44:33 I believe we have around ten contestants,
01:44:36 and we will crown a winner.
01:44:38 What are the prizes?
01:44:39 Cash, big cash.
01:44:40 It's a massive cash prize.
01:44:41 Fat stacks.
01:44:42 Big bucks.
01:44:43 Maybe in the hundreds.
01:44:45 Maybe.
01:44:46 Sheriff Clemmer.
01:44:48 I am Woody from "Toy Story."
01:44:50 Quite clearly there is a snake in my boot!
01:44:54 Now this came about when you were fighting with the Mean Girls on Barstool Radio.
01:44:59 Correct.
01:45:00 People were calling you Sheriff Clemmer,
01:45:01 and then people creepily put together that you look exactly like Woody
01:45:05 in his weird animation status.
01:45:08 Do you have a boot with a snake in it?
01:45:10 I do not, but I do not have a boot with a snake in it.
01:45:13 But if you listen carefully, you can hear Andy coming.
01:45:17 [laughter]
01:45:19 Get to offer.
01:45:20 Did you--
01:45:22 Can I see the bottom of your shoes?
01:45:24 What's the name?
01:45:25 The bottom of your shoes.
01:45:26 The bottom of my shoes?
01:45:27 Oh no, you didn't do it.
01:45:28 Oh, Clemmer!
01:45:30 No, I did not write Andy on the bottom of my shoes.
01:45:32 Clemmer!
01:45:33 He could have improvised.
01:45:34 Easy peasy.
01:45:35 Jersey Jerry here.
01:45:38 You know, I'm man enough to admit it, I shit myself.
01:45:41 Oh my God.
01:45:43 You know, it's a sad day, it's a bad day.
01:45:46 Catastrophe!
01:45:48 [music]
01:45:52 Which way is this way?
01:45:53 Keep walking straight.
01:45:55 Okay, we got Meek Phil.
01:45:58 Meek Phil, Sean, Travvy.
01:46:01 I was here for some scouting today.
01:46:04 Okay.
01:46:05 Overall.
01:46:06 Honorable man, remember I am a Marine.
01:46:09 Coach Arbaugh's doing a great job, and I want to call it a good legal game.
01:46:13 Give me that microphone, loser!
01:46:16 Oh wow.
01:46:17 This is my competition.
01:46:19 I wish I could say these judges would give me a high score, but they're too stupid to give me one!
01:46:24 I'm Vipas McMahon, and this is my competition!
01:46:28 You cowards!
01:46:30 And if you don't give me a high score, you're fired!
01:46:35 All right.
01:46:36 Before I saw the belt earlier, I thought he was like Freddie Mercury for a while.
01:46:39 That's what I said, I'm a little too skinny!
01:46:42 And you're a little too stupid!
01:46:48 Now go ahead, write down your scores.
01:46:50 Okay.
01:46:51 I'm going to go 3.5 for creativity and a 5 for execution.
01:46:57 It's a perfect music, man.
01:46:59 I would have given you a 10 on execution.
01:47:01 Well, Kevin, you're not as dumb as you look!
01:47:03 Yo, what's up, guys?
01:47:05 Hard to follow that one up.
01:47:08 Lane Kiffin from 2009, when he was the Tennessee coach.
01:47:12 Wow, okay.
01:47:13 Okay.
01:47:14 Yeah.
01:47:15 Okie dokie.
01:47:16 Specifically, when he played Georgia, and he beat them 45-19, and I was going to bring my bulldog to walk,
01:47:24 because he dog walked the bulldogs on that night, but I didn't know if I could bring a pet into the office today.
01:47:31 Okay.
01:47:32 Okay.
01:47:33 So, sweet.
01:47:35 I'll go first.
01:47:36 Okay.
01:47:37 This may be the worst costume I've ever seen in my life.
01:47:41 Okay.
01:47:42 If you brought the dog with you, that would have at least been exciting.
01:47:46 We can or would probably, you know.
01:47:47 Nothing about this is, you could be literally anyone.
01:47:51 Minimal effort, I'm disappointed I gave you ones on both sides just to not be a total bitch, but Jesus Christ.
01:47:57 That's fine.
01:47:58 This is terrible, Billy.
01:47:59 Come back better next time.
01:48:00 I didn't know who was going to judge.
01:48:01 I said it several times in the e-mails, and I threatened for everybody to do their part, but sure.
01:48:06 I'm glad you showed up like this.
01:48:07 All right.
01:48:08 Thank you.
01:48:09 Thank you for your time.
01:48:10 Enjoy the rest of your costume contest.
01:48:12 Can you stop talking?
01:48:15 Next up.
01:48:16 All right.
01:48:18 Are we talking into this?
01:48:21 What do we have here, ladies?
01:48:23 It's a little group costume.
01:48:25 She's the man.
01:48:26 Yep.
01:48:27 Viola.
01:48:28 Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
01:48:29 We're going to get a point reduction on that.
01:48:31 No way, no way.
01:48:32 Sebastian, Viola.
01:48:33 Yep.
01:48:34 Boy, boy is girl, but me, girl is girl.
01:48:36 I had no idea.
01:48:37 I had no idea.
01:48:38 Never seen it.
01:48:39 Never heard of it.
01:48:40 Do you want a man sort of thing?
01:48:42 Amanda Bynes dresses up as a girl.
01:48:44 How old is this?
01:48:45 It's based on a Shakespeare play.
01:48:47 Yeah, it's based on a Shakespeare play.
01:48:49 She plays soccer with the boys.
01:48:51 And she has a twin brother, and so she impersonates him.
01:48:53 The girls' team gets cut.
01:48:54 So they are technically both the same character.
01:48:56 We're the same character, just different versions of the same character.
01:48:59 Yes, yes, yes.
01:49:00 And I'll say, having seen the movie many a time, excellent execution.
01:49:03 Thank you.
01:49:04 Do me the strut one more time.
01:49:06 Yeah, yeah.
01:49:07 Ria's been walking around the office like that.
01:49:10 I was like, who the fuck is that guy?
01:49:12 New school, new baby fool.
01:49:14 [LAUGHTER]
01:49:17 All right, let's get to it.
01:49:18 Creativity and execution.
01:49:20 Thank you.
01:49:22 Thank you.
01:49:23 [LAUGHTER]
01:49:27 What's up?
01:49:28 What is up?
01:49:30 My pussy hanging out.
01:49:32 [LAUGHTER]
01:49:35 I got the curvy queen outfit.
01:49:39 Curvy queen?
01:49:40 That's what size for this fucking light lace thing is.
01:49:44 Lil' Kim from which award show?
01:49:46 1990, 2000 what was it?
01:49:49 '94 VMAs.
01:49:51 Lil' Kim at the VMAs with her titty hanging out.
01:49:54 Look at that.
01:49:55 The flex was something I didn't even see.
01:49:57 I wish I didn't either.
01:49:58 The what?
01:49:59 Did you flex your titty?
01:50:00 No.
01:50:01 Roll the tape.
01:50:02 That thing was bouncing.
01:50:03 You definitely flexed your titty.
01:50:04 I saw it too.
01:50:05 I mean, I could have just been like, OK.
01:50:07 You flexed your titty.
01:50:08 Come on.
01:50:09 Make your titty pop.
01:50:10 I can flex my titty, but I didn't.
01:50:12 No, I saw it.
01:50:13 I saw it too.
01:50:14 I have a question.
01:50:15 Why?
01:50:16 [LAUGHTER]
01:50:17 Why do you think of this?
01:50:18 You know I'm always talking about dressing like a woman and shit?
01:50:21 [LAUGHTER]
01:50:22 Right, right.
01:50:23 This is who you decided to go with.
01:50:25 All right.
01:50:26 What's astounding to me, and I think important for the judges
01:50:28 to know, is that as of yesterday, you didn't have a costume, right?
01:50:31 And you said, I have to throw something together.
01:50:33 I threw a little thing together, yeah.
01:50:35 The boots I owned.
01:50:37 The rest I had to buy.
01:50:39 OK.
01:50:40 OK.
01:50:41 I think that's all I need to know.
01:50:42 All right.
01:50:44 I know Gaz has been knocking the nostalgia play,
01:50:48 but I love a good throwback.
01:50:50 I'm old.
01:50:51 This speaks to me.
01:50:52 I remember this vividly.
01:50:53 I remember that titty, and somebody went up to it and popped it,
01:50:55 like pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, like that.
01:50:57 And I was like, holy shit, what's going on?
01:50:59 And as far as the execution, I mean, Feidelberg's living out his dreams,
01:51:03 so I can't say, like, look how far he went for the costume,
01:51:06 because I think he's loving this right now.
01:51:07 It's less comfortable than I imagined.
01:51:09 I'll be honest about that.
01:51:10 You know, your pussy's hanging out.
01:51:13 You went the extra mile.
01:51:14 I'm giving you a nine total.
01:51:16 And I wish I wasn't a part of KFC radio,
01:51:18 because I know people would think I'm going to pander to my guy.
01:51:20 I would have given that to anybody who did Lil' Kim with a tit out.
01:51:23 Yeah.
01:51:24 Thanks, Kevin.
01:51:25 I'm right in the vein with you, Kevin.
01:51:26 I'm giving a 4.5 for creativity.
01:51:28 You know, I've seen Lil' Kim's before, but not men.
01:51:30 Men never dress like Lil' Kim.
01:51:32 It's always girls trying to pull a titty out.
01:51:33 It's a huge missed opportunity.
01:51:34 And I'm loving this.
01:51:35 I don't know how you'd think of this.
01:51:36 Or even come up with it.
01:51:37 But, yeah, it's awesome.
01:51:38 So I give it a nine.
01:51:39 Too good.
01:51:41 Nicely done.
01:51:42 I love his little pose, clip-clop, clip-clop.
01:51:43 I know, right?
01:51:44 He wants to wave.
01:51:45 His high heels, you mean?
01:51:46 Your father would be so proud.
01:51:47 All right.
01:51:48 What do we got?
01:51:50 Myself, Gleina, and Phoenix Marie.
01:51:52 We are a plug-in and outlet.
01:51:54 What's up, Phoenix?
01:51:55 How are you?
01:51:56 Nice to meet you.
01:51:57 I told him we should do it in reverse, because it makes more sense.
01:52:00 I didn't really understand what you meant by that, but--
01:52:01 Because then you actually, like, plug in like this.
01:52:04 Okay, okay.
01:52:05 Now we're going.
01:52:06 Now we're going.
01:52:07 I'll be honest.
01:52:08 When you said reverse, I thought you meant--
01:52:10 Oh, when you get hit in reverse.
01:52:12 Then I really would have given you the execution point.
01:52:14 That's actually what I thought as well.
01:52:15 No, I'm good on that.
01:52:16 I'm good on that.
01:52:17 No, I'm on the point.
01:52:18 Phoenix Marie, come on.
01:52:19 I'll give you a five for execution if you switch the costumes right now.
01:52:23 All right.
01:52:24 Go to town on Glenn.
01:52:26 Spin that around.
01:52:27 Yeah, you got to spin it to the back.
01:52:28 Unless you're going to do it in the front.
01:52:29 You got it.
01:52:30 I'm going back?
01:52:31 Yeah.
01:52:32 Unless you want to do it missionary.
01:52:34 I don't know, Glenn.
01:52:35 Don't you have like a sex show?
01:52:37 My cheeks are from laughing.
01:52:38 There you go.
01:52:39 My cheeks are from laughing.
01:52:40 Okay.
01:52:41 Okay.
01:52:42 Okay.
01:52:43 I'm glad we're doing all this.
01:52:44 I'll tell you this.
01:52:45 This changed things significantly.
01:52:47 This really changed things significantly.
01:52:49 We kind of cobbled it together.
01:52:51 We workshopped it, but that really--
01:52:52 No, no.
01:52:53 I'm going to try to kill you right now.
01:52:56 No, I was going to do it to you.
01:52:57 All right, thank you guys.
01:53:00 Thank you, guys.
01:53:01 Thank you, guys.
01:53:02 Silver medal, the runner-up with a score of 25.1,
01:53:06 Grace O'Malley.
01:53:08 Woo!
01:53:09 It's a great day.
01:53:10 Jersey Jersey.
01:53:11 It's a great day.
01:53:12 It was always Jersey Jersey.
01:53:13 And number one with a total score of 27.5,
01:53:19 my God, did he earn this,
01:53:21 John Henry Feidelberg as Bill Kim from the VMA Awards
01:53:25 with his cities out.
01:53:27 Congratulations to John.
01:53:29 We have a comically oversized check for you
01:53:33 in the amount of $250.
01:53:36 [laughter]
01:53:38 Fucking worth it, idiot.
01:53:40 [laughter]
01:53:43 Good job, Feidelberg.
01:53:45 Happy Halloween.
01:53:46 They're paying you back for all the Saturdays of your voice.
01:53:48 [laughter]
01:53:51 One giant check at a time.
01:53:53 [laughter]
01:53:55 Who's coming in?
01:53:57 Alex Cooper.
01:53:59 Who?
01:54:00 Alex Cooper.
01:54:01 Here?
01:54:02 Yeah.
01:54:03 Oh, what's the reason?
01:54:04 Tommy's freaking out.
01:54:06 So she was coming in just to shoot Smoke Show?
01:54:08 To do the Smoke Show, yeah.
01:54:10 I mean, I was talking to Dave about it
01:54:12 because I was like, "Is there any chance that you can--
01:54:15 or I can FaceTime her for a video?"
01:54:17 And Dave said he's going to her live show next week,
01:54:19 and he was like, "I'll just put a camera in her face
01:54:21 and make her talk to you," or put his phone.
01:54:23 But I mean, if she's going to be--
01:54:24 She's going to be at one.
01:54:26 It's like Gold's Arrival.
01:54:27 It's like Hamilton and Byrne.
01:54:30 Seeing each other down the hallway.
01:54:33 Call her daddy, call her mommy, takes him home.
01:54:36 One Battle Royale.
01:54:38 Winner take all.
01:54:41 Winner gets the $50 million from Spotify.
01:54:44 Erica tells me, and I'm like, "What is she here for?"
01:54:46 And Erica either doesn't know or is telling me she doesn't know.
01:54:49 And I was like, "Do you think she would do some content?
01:54:51 Like, would she have on radio?"
01:54:53 And Erica's like, "I'm told. I think so."
01:54:55 You do?
01:54:56 There's a 0% chance that happens.
01:54:59 There's the fear.
01:55:00 There's the fear that she says, "I just won't talk to Tommy."
01:55:03 Call her mommy. I mean, how could you forget call her mommy?
01:55:05 All right, we have a loaded episode for you guys today.
01:55:08 We're talking new sexual intercourse moves,
01:55:11 some penis in some vagina.
01:55:13 We're going to tell you how to slide into girls' DMs.
01:55:16 We're going to talk to the Dilf Hunter,
01:55:18 see what she's got to say.
01:55:20 And of course, we'll take some questions from you guys
01:55:23 and the call her mommy gang. So let's get into it.
01:55:25 Do you call her mommy?
01:55:27 Do I call him mommy?
01:55:30 Call him mommy.
01:55:33 Showtime, baby. Let's make some magic.
01:55:36 It went from, like, I'm joking around with, like,
01:55:39 the quirky weird dude at Barstool
01:55:42 because I'm making content there now
01:55:44 to, oh, I never have to talk to people like him ever again.
01:55:47 I went on radio where I was like--
01:55:49 it was, like, right in the mix of this,
01:55:51 and we were talking about it, and Dave was like,
01:55:53 "Tommy, I love you, but, like, if I could only save one of you,
01:55:56 I would drown you."
01:55:58 Like, it's not even a fucking question.
01:56:00 I was like, you know what? I was like, let's check back in, like, 10 years.
01:56:03 Let's see who's doing better. So far, Alex, a massive head start.
01:56:06 If she wants to break the Internet, the offer is there.
01:56:09 - Sure. - Wow. - Sure.
01:56:11 - You know she's watching. - Come on, Coop.
01:56:13 You know, it's been a while. Let's bury the hatchet.
01:56:15 Let's make some magic. Let's make a quick scene,
01:56:17 and let's go beavy.
01:56:19 - Where's Tommy freaking-- she probably doesn't even know who Tommy is.
01:56:22 - Remember? He did the videos.
01:56:24 - She probably doesn't know who any of us are.
01:56:27 Tommy, I hope he just-- is he, like, gonna go up to her and stuff?
01:56:31 - Hello.
01:56:36 - Get out of here.
01:56:41 - Get out of here.
01:56:43 - I already said I'd get out of here.
01:56:45 - How are you?
01:56:47 - Where is it? Tommy!
01:56:49 - Alex.
01:56:51 - Tommy! - You're here. You're awake.
01:56:53 - I'm here. - I'm just kidding.
01:56:55 - How are you? Pat, oh, my God.
01:56:58 - Grab the mic right there. - Oh, okay.
01:57:00 - And we're live. - And we're live.
01:57:02 - What are we-- what is this? - This is Barstool Radio.
01:57:04 - Oh, thank you. - So we're live on YouTube right now.
01:57:06 - I got my own show now and shit, so it's like--
01:57:08 - You're big dick energy now. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:57:10 - Fuck. I knew you would make it. - Thank you.
01:57:12 Yeah, no, I know. We always said that. The two of us would be one and two.
01:57:15 - This is crazy. It's, like, the same as I left.
01:57:18 The way that Call Her Daddy did start to get some traction
01:57:21 in this, like, this office was because we were so, like,
01:57:24 "No, we want to do our own thing," you know?
01:57:26 And I think it worked, branding-wise.
01:57:28 - Was that on purpose, though? - Yeah.
01:57:30 - So you were helping me, and I don't think it was on accident.
01:57:32 - No, I knew what I was doing. Like, I think it was, like,
01:57:34 sticking out like a sore thumb here was good for us,
01:57:37 and I think it, like, made us kind of more polarizing,
01:57:40 and even if it was guys online hating us, I think it was good.
01:57:43 - Did you ever really dislike me, or...?
01:57:45 - No, Tommy. I didn't love your outfit.
01:57:47 - I keep seeing you guys say, "Don't wear khakis."
01:57:50 What's up with that? - They're just like, not...
01:57:52 - Yeah. They're not flattering. They're not hot.
01:57:54 - Don't wear khakis. - Okay.
01:57:56 - I would like to order you guys to dress him.
01:57:59 I'll give you a budget. Can you take him and, like, dress him?
01:58:02 - Oh, my God, yes! - I never didn't like you,
01:58:04 but I didn't think it was, like, appropriate for us to give you a makeover,
01:58:07 'cause, like... - It was your idea.
01:58:09 - It would've cheapened the brand. - It would've cheapened the brand.
01:58:11 - Yeah. And then maybe things wouldn't have... - No, no, no!
01:58:13 - I agree. It wouldn't have unfolded the way it did.
01:58:15 - If you had Tommy, warmly stupid smokes, and made him something,
01:58:18 it would be like, "The Daddy Gang can do anything!"
01:58:20 - Yeah. - Yeah, well, you know,
01:58:22 I don't regret it, though. - Okay. Yeah.
01:58:24 I mean, things have turned out all right for you.
01:58:26 It could be me with the, you know, Spotify deal,
01:58:28 and you sitting on this couch from Barstool Radio.
01:58:30 - Are you...? - I could've never hot-picked you.
01:58:32 [laughter]
01:58:33 - Good seeing you guys. - See you guys tomorrow at noon.
01:58:35 - Whoo! Holy shit!
01:58:37 - Thanks for popping by. - Thanks, guys.
01:58:39 - Are you looking for a three-minute video?
01:58:41 Or is your Tommy time a lot?
01:58:43 [laughter]
01:58:45 - So Alex Cooper is here,
01:58:47 and as one last ditch effort
01:58:49 to make the Forbes 30 Under 30 list,
01:58:51 I need her official endorsement.
01:58:53 - I want her to blow you off, no offense, in the worst way.
01:58:56 - Honestly, the play here, for her,
01:58:58 is absolutely to be like, "I'm so sorry, I gotta go."
01:59:01 - Oh, yeah. - If she left you hanging, you would be...
01:59:03 - Or you do that to her. - Unbelievable.
01:59:05 - Why do you have a tag on the shirt still?
01:59:07 - Comedic effect.
01:59:09 [laughter]
01:59:13 - Get in there, Tommy. - All right.
01:59:15 Where should we set up here?
01:59:17 - What do you need me to do?
01:59:19 - So we're gonna do a little scene where I--
01:59:21 this is sort of like a sitcom acting, so...
01:59:24 We'll set up maybe over here.
01:59:26 - Okay. Can we put a mic on you?
01:59:28 - Sure. - That would be great. - Yeah, yeah. Okay.
01:59:30 - Can one of you go on the-- - I don't know.
01:59:32 Do we want Tommy in the doc? Like, fuck.
01:59:34 - Oh, I'm just doing the doc. - Fuck me.
01:59:36 - I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
01:59:38 - So, Tommy, can you just go to Joe and grab a mic?
01:59:40 - Of course, of course. - Thank you so much.
01:59:42 [breathing heavily]
01:59:44 - Tommy, he was the bane of my existence when I worked here.
01:59:47 He was, like, the gnat that, like, you would walk around the corner
01:59:50 and be like, "Oh, stop. Tommy again."
01:59:52 And then I'd be, like, coming out of the bathroom stall,
01:59:54 and it'd be like, "Oh, my God, Tommy again?"
01:59:56 And then I'd be, like, getting in my Uber to go home,
01:59:58 and it's like, "Tommy's the driver."
02:00:00 Like, literally every-- like, wait, our turn, it was Tommy.
02:00:02 You know what I'm still butthurt about?
02:00:04 Is that we never got our own studio.
02:00:07 We never got our own studio.
02:00:09 We would have to take our cover art and, like,
02:00:11 replace it with someone else's and, like, put our shit out there.
02:00:13 - No, straight up, they should have come into my studio...
02:00:16 - And ripped-- - Rip me out!
02:00:18 - Fuck! 'Cause part of my take had it.
02:00:21 And I knew they-- and everyone would be like,
02:00:23 "Well, they've been here for years."
02:00:25 - You-- part of my take deserved-- you should have kicked--
02:00:27 they should have kicked me out. - Yeah, yeah, you should have.
02:00:29 No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
02:00:31 Hi, I'm Alex Cooper, and I'm here to answer the internet.
02:00:33 Would you rather give up the hungover breakfast sandwich
02:00:37 or the drunk pizza?
02:00:39 100% the drunk pizza.
02:00:41 I am obsessed with the bacon, egg, and cheese
02:00:43 with cream cheese on it and everything bagel toasted.
02:00:45 Put it up my asshole. Let's go.
02:00:47 - The challenge in episode two was an old Milton classic,
02:00:51 "Duct tape someone to a wall."
02:00:53 So little did we know that the night before,
02:00:56 two things happened.
02:00:58 One, Jersey Jerry found the plans to the game.
02:01:00 - Jer, I got the whole game to the show.
02:01:02 I got everything. I got every challenge, everything.
02:01:05 I got the whole game. Everything goes through me.
02:01:07 - Hi, I'm Rob. I'm head of branded content at Barstool
02:01:11 and was more or less in charge of putting together
02:01:14 "Surviving Barstool."
02:01:16 - I'm Tara. I'm a branded content producer,
02:01:18 and I was in charge of taking care of all the cast
02:01:20 on "Surviving Barstool."
02:01:22 - Everybody was up all night hunting for idols.
02:01:24 A bunch of the desks had been pulled apart.
02:01:27 Everybody had gone after kind of everything,
02:01:30 looking for it, this idol.
02:01:32 And kind of a lead-up to the show,
02:01:35 we do lots of prep,
02:01:37 and I had drawn up a bunch of kind of camera angles.
02:01:41 I guess Jerry saw it and thought,
02:01:44 "This is something that's important."
02:01:46 - Hand up at first, I'm like, "This does us no good,"
02:01:48 because it's more like camera angles.
02:01:50 - You're holding the only grill you don't think it is.
02:01:52 - But then he did have all the sheets
02:01:54 with all the games laid out.
02:01:56 - So we're playing a game for money,
02:01:59 and it was clear we had a highly competitive
02:02:04 inadvantage because of a producer fuck-up.
02:02:07 - We saw that tomorrow's game was gonna be called "Duct Tape."
02:02:10 All right, so wait, this game's called "Duct Tape."
02:02:13 I have to imagine that it's gonna be competition,
02:02:15 so you can, like, duct tape somebody up to a wall fastest, right?
02:02:17 - Yeah. - I think it's also important
02:02:19 to note that everything in this office
02:02:22 is basically in play,
02:02:24 so there's nowhere for us to even set up the show
02:02:27 while the show is happening, to the point where, like,
02:02:30 we had to turn off key card access
02:02:32 to different parts of the office
02:02:34 because we couldn't even plan for the next day
02:02:37 without being ransacked.
02:02:39 - Listen, I found plans to play a game for jubilee
02:02:44 while producers dance.
02:02:46 - That's incredibly stupid of them.
02:02:48 - It is, like, a bonehead move to leave it.
02:02:52 I think on the outside, that's an easy thing to say.
02:02:55 Sometimes I kept them on me, sometimes I didn't.
02:02:57 They just kind of were on my desk.
02:02:59 Again, that's like a "Why would you leave plans
02:03:02 to a show on your desk?"
02:03:04 It's my desk, and it's just kind of something
02:03:06 I left there that night. It's stupid.
02:03:08 - The game should be between the two tribes.
02:03:11 It should never be influenced by a producer being a fuck-up.
02:03:15 That's bad.
02:03:16 - So we started YouTubing videos
02:03:18 about how to duct tape somebody to a wall.
02:03:20 We found the world record for fastest way to do it.
02:03:22 I sent that out to the whole group last night.
02:03:24 They also, PFT, went into the kitchen,
02:03:27 found a bottle of olive oil or some sort of grease, I guess,
02:03:32 and he put it in a spray bottle,
02:03:34 and he sprayed down our entire wall
02:03:36 at, like, 3 in the morning.
02:03:37 - So is that cheating? Yes.
02:03:40 But not really.
02:03:41 I lubed the fuck out of that board.
02:03:43 - Something like this was absolutely in play
02:03:48 and was always gonna happen.
02:03:49 It was just which thing is going to be the breaking point
02:03:53 and can the show survive it?
02:03:55 We always knew.
02:03:56 - They start trying to tape me,
02:03:58 and the tape won't stick to the wall.
02:04:00 So I start yelling at Jeff and Rob.
02:04:02 I'm like, "Our fucking tape won't stick!
02:04:04 What the fuck's going on?"
02:04:06 It's not--I mean, this is not sticky.
02:04:08 - Yeah. - It's not sticky to the wall.
02:04:09 - Fucking morons.
02:04:10 - And it wasn't working, and Nate was, like, screaming.
02:04:12 He's like, "You fucking idiots."
02:04:13 And the thing is, like, the people who built the wall,
02:04:16 they had duct-taped one of their PAs to it
02:04:19 in their workshop to make sure that worked,
02:04:21 and it worked, and I saw the video of it,
02:04:23 so I was like, "Okay, that fucking works.
02:04:25 Great. Check."
02:04:26 - To this day, if he didn't grab a cameraman
02:04:28 and was like, "Hey, I'm gonna go spray down their wall.
02:04:30 Follow me," if that stayed a secret forever,
02:04:33 I guess you could see it on the wall in retrospect,
02:04:36 but in the moment, none of us knew.
02:04:38 - Oh, my God!
02:04:39 - I wasn't in a ton of pain.
02:04:41 - I can't feel my arms.
02:04:42 Then we're on set, and they're all filming,
02:04:44 and I run over to the challenge guy.
02:04:46 I was just like, "Do you think when you painted it,
02:04:49 that would have changed in whether the tape could stick?"
02:04:52 And he's like--he was like, "We did it with just the wood."
02:04:55 And I was like, "Oh, fuck."
02:04:56 And I was like, "If neither of these walls work,
02:04:59 it's gonna be such a fucking hard thing to explain."
02:05:01 So that's what I'm thinking.
02:05:02 I'm not thinking about fucking YouTube videos
02:05:06 or somebody spraying it down.
02:05:08 Like, "There you go, cop. There you go, cop.
02:05:10 There you go, guys."
02:05:11 - I didn't know that they had plans for the game
02:05:14 until they were lined up to go to the challenge,
02:05:16 and I didn't know that PFT put oil on the wall
02:05:19 until I was sitting in his confessional
02:05:21 asking him about the challenge,
02:05:23 and he wasn't even gonna tell us.
02:05:25 So I think a lot of the comments were like,
02:05:27 "Why didn't you switch to challenge?"
02:05:28 We didn't know that they knew the challenge
02:05:31 until they walked on set.
02:05:32 - Oh, so that's crazy.
02:05:33 - And, I mean, changing a challenge like that--
02:05:35 we've been planning this show for almost a year.
02:05:39 - I was just talking to PFT, and I was like,
02:05:41 "How'd you do that?"
02:05:42 He's like, "We had the game.
02:05:43 I watched it on YouTube last night."
02:05:45 - Really? - Yeah.
02:05:47 - That sucks.
02:05:48 - So it did really help finding that material.
02:05:50 - Why? Are you serious?
02:05:51 - What? - YouTube.
02:05:52 - That really sucks.
02:05:53 - YouTube on how to tape somebody to a wall.
02:05:55 - That's when everything exploded.
02:05:57 They found out that they had watched a YouTube video.
02:05:59 - Turns out Jeff Delo knew that they found the plans,
02:06:02 YouTubed how to do the challenge,
02:06:04 and still allowed both teams to compete.
02:06:07 - Fuck you, Jeff!
02:06:08 - A big philosophy thing of the show is, like,
02:06:11 we want it to fly off the rails.
02:06:13 We want it to be right on the edge of just exploding.
02:06:16 - Like, all right, fair enough.
02:06:18 They found the plans.
02:06:19 If we found them, we would've looked it up, too.
02:06:21 Like, no disputing that at all.
02:06:23 If Dave was on the side where his team got fucked,
02:06:27 this challenge never would've happened.
02:06:29 - Then fucking quit, Nate.
02:06:30 - Who knows when you're gonna quit?
02:06:31 Do your job better, stupid!
02:06:32 - Shut the fuck up, Nate.
02:06:33 - Just do your job better!
02:06:34 - You dumb fuck, I said anything goes.
02:06:36 - I'm the dumb fuck?
02:06:37 You're leaving the plans out for everybody to see,
02:06:39 you stupid piece of shit!
02:06:40 I was also furious at Jeff Delo.
02:06:42 It's like, dude, like, they found the plans
02:06:44 and they greased up our board.
02:06:46 I compare it to if the challenge was a NASCAR race
02:06:50 and PFT slashed off one of our tires that morning
02:06:53 and then Jeff Delo was like, "Anything goes!"
02:06:56 Anyway, I scream at Jeff Delo like an angry Latino woman.
02:06:59 He's yelling back at me, "Then quit, though!"
02:07:02 I'm like, "Go downstairs, stupid!
02:07:04 "Go downstairs, stupid!
02:07:05 "Keep walking, stupid!
02:07:07 "Keep walking, stupid!
02:07:08 "Bye-bye!
02:07:09 "Keep walking!
02:07:10 "Keep walking!
02:07:11 "You can quit then, Nate!
02:07:12 "Bye, Jeff!
02:07:13 "Stupid!"
02:07:14 Fuck Jeff Delo.
02:07:15 - I think he didn't like that I was like,
02:07:16 "You made yourself the star of the show
02:07:18 "when you shouldn't be."
02:07:20 I don't know, I was pretty mean to him,
02:07:21 but it was all for content, right?
02:07:23 And then he threw my torch on the ground,
02:07:25 I was eliminated, and that was that.
02:07:27 - Fuck off.
02:07:28 - Oh!
02:07:29 (laughing)
02:07:31 - School tribe!
02:07:32 (laughing)
02:07:34 See ya, go, get out.
02:07:35 - Yeah, so that dummy Rob, the producer,
02:07:37 he's just walking around with the plans.
02:07:40 (dramatic music)
02:07:43 Just hanging around his back pocket.
02:07:45 So he's out, he's upstairs on the third floor,
02:07:47 grabbing his lunch, I walked behind him and took him.
02:07:50 - Are you serious?
02:07:52 - You think I'm gonna give these back to you?
02:07:54 You just fucked us over in the last thing,
02:07:56 are you fucking mind?
02:07:57 - So Jeff is getting reamed out,
02:07:59 and I was like, "Hey, should I go give them the plans?
02:08:03 "Should I show them the thing that the blue team
02:08:05 "has seen to make it even?"
02:08:08 - Hopefully that would help.
02:08:09 - I think everyone's perspective was like,
02:08:11 if Dave finds out that you give them the plans,
02:08:13 and like, it's just gonna keep,
02:08:15 and that's when we get into like,
02:08:17 how much do we interfere in this,
02:08:19 or do we just let them scream until they get tired?
02:08:22 - That was the biggest thing.
02:08:23 They were all sitting around like mad and not playing.
02:08:27 Like they weren't talking about who they were gonna get
02:08:29 voted off, they were just like stuck.
02:08:31 So I was like, "All right, I'll go up there,
02:08:33 "I'll let them scream at me, and I'll have a few backups."
02:08:37 So I was like, "Okay, I have my plans,
02:08:39 "I put 'em in my back pocket."
02:08:40 I was like, "All right, first I'll go up,
02:08:42 "and I'll let them scream at me.
02:08:43 "Then if it seems like they're stonewalling
02:08:45 "and they just aren't moving forward,
02:08:47 "I will give them the plans."
02:08:49 So I go get my lunch, and then like,
02:08:52 I was like looking down at my plate,
02:08:54 and then I just catch Kirk out of the corner of my eye,
02:08:57 and he grabs it.
02:08:58 Now he's taking it.
02:08:59 I actually felt kind of relieved,
02:09:01 'cause I was like, they found it, he stole it,
02:09:06 and it's kind of like it kind of worked out a little bit.
02:09:09 I was like, "Oh, okay, like bringing it up here
02:09:11 "might not have been a fucking bad idea.
02:09:12 "He thinks I was a fucking idiot,
02:09:13 "but like it actually kind of evened it up,
02:09:15 "and it made like some really good content."
02:09:17 - I don't care what happened, it happened.
02:09:19 So now everything's in play, so if you're dumb enough
02:09:21 to carry this around in your back pocket,
02:09:23 I'm gonna fucking take it.
02:09:24 - I definitely felt belittled, I felt, you know,
02:09:26 like pretty, I felt pretty worked over.
02:09:30 I don't really like getting talked to like that.
02:09:32 - So when you said that, "Am I serious?
02:09:33 "Do I appear to be serious, yes or no?"
02:09:35 It's a one word answer.
02:09:37 - Yeah, I'm serious. - Yeah, yeah,
02:09:38 there was one more answer you gave to it, it's fine.
02:09:39 Yes, I'm serious, carry on.
02:09:41 - I'm gonna go toe to toe with Kirk Minahan right now
02:09:43 with all these cameras rolling, I won't win.
02:09:46 There's no way I get over one on Kirk here.
02:09:48 So I was like, all right, I'll take my lumps.
02:09:50 - If you feel like you've been assaulted by a co-worker,
02:09:53 you can contact the authorities.
02:09:55 - There was never a fear it was gonna ruin the show
02:09:57 because Dave was on the good side of it.
02:09:59 As long as Dave was happy, the show was gonna go on.
02:10:02 - I mean, you could see Dave's face
02:10:03 in the background of every single scene.
02:10:04 He was so happy of what was happening.
02:10:06 It was amazing content.
02:10:08 You see this one on camera, but there's been--
02:10:10 - A lot. - A lot behind the scenes.
02:10:13 I knew that all these cast members knew
02:10:15 how much was at stake with the content coming out,
02:10:17 so I think I knew that no one was ever gonna
02:10:19 really lead the show, but I knew that they could
02:10:22 make our lives a living hell making it.
02:10:24 - This is a low rent, level Z, dog shit,
02:10:28 rat shit production.
02:10:29 You and the other dummy should be ashamed
02:10:33 of yourselves, your family should be ashamed.
02:10:35 Would you agree, Phyla-Berg?
02:10:36 - I would certainly agree, yes.
02:10:38 - I mean, it says it all right here.
02:10:39 - I knew they weren't going anywhere.
02:10:40 - Every single person probably was like,
02:10:42 "I'll beat this, but I'm really gonna fucking have
02:10:46 "my moment right now to tell you how angry I am."
02:10:50 But no matter what, if you have Dave there, you're good.
02:10:54 Dave will let it roll.
02:10:56 He will let it get to almost the point of,
02:10:58 "Holy shit, this thing is about to explode
02:11:00 "and they're gonna have to call the cops or whatever."
02:11:02 But Dave understands the investment made in the show.
02:11:05 Dave understands the size of the show.
02:11:07 He understands what we're trying to do.
02:11:09 If it really, really, really came down to it,
02:11:12 it would've had to get really fucking bad,
02:11:14 but he's not letting people leave.
02:11:16 - Thursday afternoon, we're shooting an ad
02:11:18 for Answer the Internet, and I'm tweeting out
02:11:20 surviving barstool clip.
02:11:21 I go to YouTube to find the videos to link it,
02:11:25 and I don't see them on YouTube.
02:11:27 And I immediately freak out.
02:11:28 I'm logging into different accounts,
02:11:30 maybe got age-restricted, texting Jeff D. Lo.
02:11:33 I'm like, "Next to KFC."
02:11:34 He's like, "Oh, it's gotta be on purpose.
02:11:35 "It's gotta be something minor.
02:11:36 "It's down for like an hour or something."
02:11:38 So I was pretty early, too, and then I started getting tweets,
02:11:40 and then we got the email from Dave that was like,
02:11:42 "Surviving barstool is down for now.
02:11:45 "Waiting for more info."
02:11:47 Did not see the reasoning and everything behind it
02:11:50 until Dave put out his emergency press conference,
02:11:52 and we realized it was a YouTube issue.
02:11:54 We weren't sure what the issue was.
02:11:56 - All right, real quick surviving barstool update.
02:11:59 If you're looking for this on YouTube,
02:12:01 we had the pulley episodes.
02:12:03 - Yeah, we got tipped off by YouTube last week
02:12:06 that if we didn't edit the previous episode,
02:12:09 the second episode, to take out Kirk saying
02:12:12 he was gonna [bleep] Jeff D. Lo's house,
02:12:14 that we were gonna get a strike.
02:12:15 We had about, I think about three hours.
02:12:17 - So you think it was the Kirk joke
02:12:19 that he said about Jeff that was--
02:12:21 - I'm almost positive that.
02:12:22 He said, "You have three hours to take this down
02:12:25 "and edit this out, and you can put it back up."
02:12:27 And that's what we said, like, "No, we're not doing that."
02:12:28 - And if we got that strike, we wouldn't have been able
02:12:30 to publish anything on YouTube for seven days, so--
02:12:33 And knowing what was coming up in the future episodes,
02:12:37 we were gonna end up losing our channel.
02:12:38 Unless we edited the content, we weren't gonna do that.
02:12:40 - If they need us to edit that,
02:12:42 you gotta edit a bunch of shit, no, no, no.
02:12:44 This is barstool, we're doing our fucking way.
02:12:46 Fuck YouTube.
02:12:47 If they're not smart enough
02:12:48 to actually watch a reality show
02:12:50 and realize what's going on, fine, whatever.
02:12:53 So we're not putting it on YouTube anymore.
02:12:55 - I think that show, in that moment,
02:12:58 we showed it to YouTube and they said,
02:12:59 "This is not gonna fly," and we edited it that way,
02:13:01 and then people didn't know that we were, like,
02:13:04 censoring ourselves.
02:13:05 That rant from Kirk was gonna be good no matter what.
02:13:09 He just went a little too far.
02:13:11 I probably would have taken it out.
02:13:12 - On YouTube, we do check with them
02:13:14 to see if there's gonna be any issues beforehand
02:13:17 if we think something is on a fringe.
02:13:19 Like, they're good partners.
02:13:20 They are partners of ours,
02:13:21 so we have the ability to go send it over to them.
02:13:24 On this one, we sent it over.
02:13:27 We sent it--I think we sent it over,
02:13:29 but they gave us--
02:13:30 we had already had this drink before they responded, yeah.
02:13:33 - On as much as it sucks, because it was ripping,
02:13:36 60,000 live concurrence,
02:13:37 the Tommy chance in the chat every single night,
02:13:39 going back, reading the comments section
02:13:41 about how Tommy used to go at it,
02:13:42 I'd read it 10,000 times.
02:13:43 It was awesome. It sucks.
02:13:45 It just--this was--I mean, honestly,
02:13:47 this was my chance to be famous.
02:13:48 These were all gonna have over a million views, probably.
02:13:51 I'm the star of episode one.
02:13:53 The big blind side, this was it.
02:13:54 I tried all year.
02:13:55 I tried on the Forbes 330 list to be famous.
02:13:57 That didn't work.
02:13:58 Oh, surviving Barstool.
02:13:59 Maybe we're just not meant to be famous.
02:14:00 This--the number one victim of this is me.
02:14:03 I'm not gonna get famous.
02:14:04 - I'm not sure when the first three episodes
02:14:07 will end up on Barstool TV.
02:14:08 I think they're on Twitter at some point.
02:14:10 Also, Elon wants to cut me a check.
02:14:12 I'll do that too.
02:14:13 - So once I found out, I alerted him,
02:14:14 and I said, "Hey, we gotta either take this out
02:14:17 or we're gonna get a strike."
02:14:20 So he immediately went out and started reaching out.
02:14:22 I think he DM'd, like, Elon Musk, basically.
02:14:25 And actually, I don't think Elon got back,
02:14:27 but I think someone over at Twitter
02:14:29 did get in touch with him,
02:14:30 and I think we're gonna have a meeting with them.
02:14:32 But it's not--it couldn't move fast enough.
02:14:34 Like, to get deals done with a company like Twitter
02:14:36 or Rumble or some of these other places
02:14:38 that are all interested in it,
02:14:39 just wouldn't have been able to pull it together
02:14:41 in, you know, 72 hours
02:14:42 before the next episode was supposed to come out.
02:14:44 - The show is the fucking show,
02:14:46 and I would rather eat my fucking insides
02:14:49 and smash my dick with a hammer
02:14:51 than have to change the fucking show
02:14:54 to make YouTube happy about something.
02:14:56 Like, some of the brain just watch it.
02:14:58 Be like, "It's a reality show, okay?
02:15:00 It's fucking not real."
02:15:01 Whatever. It is what it is.
02:15:03 So that's the update.
02:15:04 - I figured once Dave said it's off YouTube,
02:15:06 it was off YouTube.
02:15:07 He's not somebody that goes back on his word like that.
02:15:09 You don't want to bend the knee.
02:15:11 And it made sense.
02:15:12 Like, the age restricted the first one.
02:15:14 Second one was gonna get pulled down.
02:15:15 And look, I get--from a perspective of a viewer,
02:15:18 it's very easy to be like,
02:15:19 "Well, just cut the 10 seconds they told you to cut
02:15:22 and put out the rest of the episodes."
02:15:23 In an ideal world, yeah, we could do that.
02:15:25 That's great.
02:15:26 There's six more episodes.
02:15:27 There's a lot of other stuff that gets said.
02:15:29 And with this algorithm on YouTube,
02:15:31 with their, like, you know, guidelines department,
02:15:34 you don't know what they're gonna flag.
02:15:35 You know, we bend the knee on this, on this curse word,
02:15:37 then they're like, "Oh, take out this curse word.
02:15:39 Take out this curse word."
02:15:40 And then you're just getting a watered-down product
02:15:43 of what should be Barstool's best content ever.
02:15:45 We don't want people to watch a PG, watered-down version of it.
02:15:49 So taking it off YouTube seemed like it had to be done.
02:15:52 It is--I understand the easy thing is like,
02:15:54 "Oh, why didn't I just edit it out?"
02:15:56 It's like, there's more stuff coming where, like, dude,
02:15:59 if we had--
02:16:00 It would have just kept getting banned.
02:16:01 But even the fact that the first episode got an age restriction
02:16:04 and there was really nothing crazy in the first episode.
02:16:08 Like, it was clear, like,
02:16:09 they were either all gonna get age restricted,
02:16:10 all gonna get a strike, so it had to leave YouTube.
02:16:12 Age restriction to me is nuts.
02:16:14 Sometimes I click on some shit that I'm like,
02:16:16 "Age restricted for fucking what?"
02:16:18 - Bro, tonight on YouTube,
02:16:22 you can watch the season finale of Adam22
02:16:25 guessing or choosing who gets to fuck his wife.
02:16:28 - I definitely did expect it to be more of a
02:16:31 Barstool versus the world rallying cry of,
02:16:33 "Oh, fucking the corporate overlords at YouTube
02:16:36 are trying to shut us down.
02:16:37 We'll rally around it."
02:16:38 But that was not the reaction.
02:16:40 - I thought our crowd was gonna be fucking
02:16:43 running down the streets with knives and swords
02:16:46 being like, "Fuck you, dude.
02:16:47 Way to go, Dave."
02:16:49 I may have misjudged it.
02:16:50 We had people being like,
02:16:51 "I'm a scam artist bait and switch.
02:16:54 I'm not paying nine bucks."
02:16:56 - Yeah, when I was talking to Dave about it,
02:16:58 he was like, "Oh," he was very much like,
02:17:00 "Oh, they're gonna love this.
02:17:01 It's gonna be us rallying against YouTube
02:17:03 for censorship and all that kind of stuff."
02:17:05 And people would understand.
02:17:06 And then I felt like there was a lot of people
02:17:08 that just didn't understand.
02:17:09 They kind of missed it on that one.
02:17:10 So yeah, very surprised at the fallout,
02:17:13 but also in a sense, not super surprised.
02:17:15 So many people are watching this thing.
02:17:17 So it's unreal how the audience that's coming in.
02:17:20 So you're always gonna get people to complain.
02:17:22 And since we have something this good,
02:17:24 a lot of people want to be able to watch it.
02:17:26 So I think Dave kind of said it.
02:17:29 He definitely misjudged how people would react to it.
02:17:32 - But as a great leader and a leader of men,
02:17:36 I feel like I know when there's just more
02:17:39 than a couple of fucking assholes saying it.
02:17:42 There's a lot of people.
02:17:43 I think they're crazy.
02:17:44 They're in my DMs, they're this, that.
02:17:46 But I'm not just gonna ignore it.
02:17:48 So I don't know what to do.
02:17:50 - There was a lot of, "Fuck you, you crooks.
02:17:52 You bait and switched us."
02:17:53 And I think, honestly, it speaks to how loved this was
02:17:58 and how much of an outside, like, core Stoolie audience it was.
02:18:02 I think the Stools have been around forever.
02:18:04 I think know that Barstool is,
02:18:06 not only are we too good of people to do some piece of shit,
02:18:09 scummy move like that,
02:18:10 we're also not smart enough to plan that out.
02:18:12 But I think that this was getting watched by people
02:18:14 who may be, you know, not been around Barstool as long.
02:18:16 And yeah, it's reasonable to think,
02:18:17 "Oh, this fucking media company,
02:18:19 they bait and switch us like this."
02:18:20 It's crazy to think that,
02:18:21 especially when we showed all the proof.
02:18:23 Dave has the message from YouTube.
02:18:24 Like, if you really believe that this was all planned,
02:18:27 that's crazy.
02:18:28 But I guess that's where people are coming from is,
02:18:30 "Hey, I was really loving this free content,
02:18:33 and now I got to pay for the rest of it."
02:18:35 I think it shocked a lot of us,
02:18:37 the internet reaction to it.
02:18:39 I spent today, last, I don't know, 10 hours,
02:18:43 listening to feedback,
02:18:44 do we charge, do we not charge?
02:18:46 $9.99 gets you access to all of it.
02:18:49 We're live-tweeting it as it is released.
02:18:53 So there's that.
02:18:55 A thank you to everybody who buys it.
02:18:57 I think actually a shit ton of people are going to buy it
02:18:59 and be like, "Fuck YouTube."
02:19:00 So, great.
02:19:02 If you're like, "Hey, fuck you, Dave,
02:19:04 you fucking piece of shit scumbag,"
02:19:07 we are then, the following two weeks,
02:19:10 going to rerun it back,
02:19:12 and we're going to launch them for free.
02:19:14 What is your guess on what we end up with,
02:19:17 pay-per-views?
02:19:19 I think we'll end up at 80.
02:19:21 Which would be--
02:19:22 80 for tonight?
02:19:23 No, yeah, no, well, if you buy it tonight,
02:19:25 you're going to buy--
02:19:26 yeah, maybe not 80 tonight,
02:19:27 but I think by the end of this week,
02:19:28 we'll be at 80.
02:19:30 I think by tonight's episode airing,
02:19:34 I'm going to say 20,000.
02:19:36 The most pay-per-views we've ever--
02:19:38 we did 50 for the award show.
02:19:42 The biggest R&R we ever had was Conseco 110.
02:19:46 So, we'll see.
02:19:48 It's so hard to tell because, like I said,
02:19:49 so many people are watching this thing.
02:19:51 I wouldn't be--
02:19:53 I actually have no idea.
02:19:54 I would say if I had to guess,
02:19:56 maybe like 100,000, maybe?
02:19:58 100,000 would be good.
02:19:59 I think we're definitely going to sell
02:20:00 a lot of pay-per-views.
02:20:01 I don't know how many, like,
02:20:03 100,000 would be--
02:20:04 We're going to sell a lot of pay-per-views
02:20:06 because it is so good
02:20:07 and so many people are invested in it.
02:20:09 It's obviously going to be way less views
02:20:11 than it would have had on YouTube,
02:20:12 but hopefully it still does really well
02:20:14 because it's still great.
02:20:15 That's the thing.
02:20:16 It's still very worth $10,
02:20:18 and in a couple of weeks,
02:20:19 it'll be totally free for everybody to watch.
02:20:21 So, hopefully it still gets seen by a lot of people
02:20:23 because it deserves to be.
02:20:25 Support Mr. Portman,
02:20:26 whatever Mr. Portman wants to do.
02:20:28 Fuck YouTube.
02:20:29 MarshallDuckTV.
02:20:30 Do you think he's aware?
02:20:31 It's Marty Shemush.
02:20:32 Oh, God. I don't know.
02:20:34 You can ask him.
02:20:35 Joey, you know what's going on with the YouTube, right?
02:20:37 CuckTube?
02:20:39 YouTube?
02:20:40 It's called CuckTube, isn't it?
02:20:42 So he does know.
02:20:43 We're dialed then.
02:20:45 He said you think Joey knows.
02:20:47 About YouTube?
02:20:48 Trying to silence us?
02:20:50 Try us, motherfucker.
02:20:52 We have our own YouTube.
02:20:54 Oh.
02:20:55 Can't Uncle Portner buy YouTube
02:20:57 if you want it?
02:20:58 Yeah. The thing is only worth like
02:21:00 $35 billion or something.
02:21:03 Final three people, I believe,
02:21:05 in fact, it is, I know.
02:21:06 It's Jerry,
02:21:07 Steven Shea,
02:21:08 and Will Compton.
02:21:09 I've had the same fear.
02:21:11 I think the more we talk about it on live content,
02:21:13 the more likely it is that it gets spoiled.
02:21:15 And, you know, Kirk's talked about it on his show,
02:21:17 we've talked about it on here,
02:21:18 we've talked about it everywhere.
02:21:19 And the fact that we've got to the finish line,
02:21:22 it's finale day,
02:21:23 and everybody talking about it every day,
02:21:25 we've done a good job of not,
02:21:27 really no major slip-ups or spoilers,
02:21:30 and we get to the last day
02:21:31 and Ben Mintz just proudly announces,
02:21:34 like I just watched the clip,
02:21:35 it's not a slip-up.
02:21:36 It's Ben Mintz proudly announcing to the world
02:21:39 through the final three.
02:21:40 Have that idiot on air?
02:21:42 What are you, fucking brain dead?
02:21:44 So what you just said by the time we caught him,
02:21:47 not true.
02:21:48 What you just said, no,
02:21:49 you don't have a fucking dump button for Nitzany.
02:21:52 The only dump button we would have had
02:21:54 is like a minute delay.
02:21:56 And that, by the time we even realized,
02:21:58 'cause I was doing ten other things for tonight,
02:22:01 it would have been too late.
02:22:02 So you let Mintzy go with no one paying attention, Mintzy?
02:22:07 Mintzy cannot do fucking anything
02:22:12 without people sitting there
02:22:13 listening to everything he fucking says
02:22:17 with a dump button.
02:22:18 That couldn't have been fucking clear.
02:22:21 And now you've ruined Savannah.
02:22:23 Nice job.
02:22:25 What?
02:22:30 I just walked in.
02:22:31 I got a couple of texts.
02:22:33 Why is he on his stomach?
02:22:36 How about just like hire people that can not spoil stuff?
02:22:41 That's a little crazy.
02:22:43 I think that's misguided anger.
02:22:45 That's the best part.
02:22:46 He fucked up and then he left the office.
02:22:49 He like sprinted out.
02:22:50 Dude, you just had to--
02:22:52 No, I heard him and Stu talking after.
02:22:54 He's like, "Yeah, we talked about it,
02:22:56 "but I don't think we spoiled it.
02:22:57 "That's totally fine.
02:22:58 "I think everyone knows that."
02:22:59 He's like, "What's a good thing you said it to,
02:23:01 "and not me, Stu?"
02:23:02 And then Stu's like, "No, you said it.
02:23:03 "That was you."
02:23:04 He's like, "Ah, we're in this together."
02:23:07 Stu's like--
02:23:08 He tried to put it on Stu, like, "Stu, that's how you do it."
02:23:11 Stu's like, "No, you said it.
02:23:12 "That's crazy."
02:23:14 Took five episodes for him to fuck up live again.
02:23:16 The minute he brought back, "Wake up, Mintzy,"
02:23:19 I thought it was very clear.
02:23:20 He was on a delay.
02:23:22 It really fucking sucks, 'cause we're at the finale.
02:23:25 The only silver lining I have is that we now know
02:23:29 he wasn't on a 10-second dump,
02:23:30 because he probably would have said something worse.
02:23:33 If you just let Mintzy go live,
02:23:34 it's a law of averages that he'll say something.
02:23:37 But it also should have just been someone--
02:23:38 not even a dump on it.
02:23:39 It should have literally been someone standing,
02:23:41 like, watching the show, being like, "Mintzy, stop!"
02:23:43 Yeah, so three left--
02:23:44 Jerry, Shay, and Will Compton.
02:23:46 No, no, no, no, no, no.
02:23:48 -Don't say who's left. -Oh, okay.
02:23:50 I didn't know. I didn't know who was left.
02:23:52 I didn't know!
02:23:53 Guy just gained 15 pounds.
02:23:54 He's fucking fat in his head.
02:23:56 I'll say this.
02:23:57 If you go in his brain, all he got are little chickens
02:23:59 with LSU running around with fat and gravy
02:24:02 running over them.
02:24:03 I can't believe he scurried away.
02:24:05 -That's crazy. -Scurried out of there.
02:24:07 I asked Paige. Paige was like--
02:24:08 I was like, "Did he know he fucked up?"
02:24:10 He's like, "Oh, yeah. He just, like, bolted."
02:24:13 He's, like, gone dark.
02:24:14 "Where are you?"
02:24:16 "I ran-- I ran-- I ran away."
02:24:18 No, you don't fucking run away!
02:24:20 You don't run away! Get your ass here!
02:24:22 "I'm coming back. I'll be back in a second."
02:24:24 -Now! -I'm coming back.
02:24:26 He said he ran away.
02:24:28 He's, like, "I ran away."
02:24:30 I don't even know if it was a spoiler
02:24:32 in the fact that Mintzy clearly thought
02:24:33 that he wasn't spoiling anything,
02:24:35 'cause you don't speak like that
02:24:36 if you think it's a spoiler.
02:24:37 You have no idea what's going on.
02:24:39 But then you should probably not speak.
02:24:41 Yeah, you should not talk about it.
02:24:43 I can't believe he ran away.
02:24:45 I can't wait to see that security footage.
02:24:47 We have to get security footage of him running away,
02:24:48 'cause he probably is--
02:24:49 he probably was legit sprinting.
02:24:51 That's where he's sitting the whole fucking day.
02:25:08 That's one of those perfect storm things, too,
02:25:11 when it's, like...
02:25:14 I caught news of this
02:25:16 just as I'm walking into the office,
02:25:18 so I didn't have a second to, like, calm down.
02:25:20 "Megan, make money. Wanna eat my sandwich?"
02:25:22 "Shut up!"
02:25:24 -Like, she has-- -I literally sprinted out of the car.
02:25:26 -I was in a hurry to run to keep-- -She has--
02:25:28 You want to talk about no social cues?
02:25:30 How many times are you gonna ask me to eat that sandwich,
02:25:32 "Megan, make money," when I am storming around the office
02:25:35 with steam coming out of my--
02:25:37 I was looking for Mintzy in our tech team.
02:25:39 "You want the sandwich I made on 'Wake Up With Mintzy?'"
02:25:42 "Read the room. Read the fucking room."
02:25:44 -For them. -We made it this far
02:25:47 without fucking eating.
02:25:49 All right, I need to go.
02:25:55 You're in the dumpster all day.
02:26:08 I can't speak to Teon how stupid you are
02:26:10 to take that hat off.
02:26:12 But, like, what are you doing?
02:26:14 In what world--
02:26:16 First of all, do you know that we didn't have a dump button?
02:26:19 You can't speak without a dump button.
02:26:21 You've proven that.
02:26:23 I thought-- I knew we had, like, a minute.
02:26:25 I thought there was a minute delay on YouTube.
02:26:27 You can't speak. Why?
02:26:29 Do you not know that the show hasn't aired?
02:26:31 I knew it hadn't aired. I thought that there were three.
02:26:34 The mistake I made was I thought that there were three left.
02:26:38 You ruined, like, everybody's work and everything for tonight. Yes.
02:26:42 But I thought that there were three left still.
02:26:45 But you're not watching the show?
02:26:47 I didn't see last night's episode.
02:26:49 -It was over for dinner. -So why would you start, like--
02:26:52 I had no idea. I just thought there were three left. I heard that.
02:26:55 And then you would just run away when you screwed up?
02:26:57 Yeah, I was coming back.
02:26:59 Yeah, I mean, I'll face it.
02:27:01 You ran away from here.
02:27:03 -I can't be able to steam it. -Yeah, I left for--
02:27:05 -Yeah. -Why? After you have a fuck-up that--
02:27:08 -Yeah, I'm here-- -Oh, you're here now.
02:27:10 No, I know, but I wasn't, like, leaving for the day or anything.
02:27:12 I, like, left for an hour. I mean, I know that was bad, but I wasn't--
02:27:16 -When you do a fuck-up like that-- -Take it to the face.
02:27:19 Yeah, don't fucking run.
02:27:21 Because you know who took it is all the tech guys.
02:27:23 Yeah, and that's not fair to them, and it's my fucking fault.
02:27:25 Moving forward, you can't be on live shows unless there's a dump.
02:27:29 So any time anybody wake up and see anything, you have to be,
02:27:32 "Do we have a minute delay dump?"
02:27:34 -Dump, but-- -And if they say no, get up and walk your ass out.
02:27:37 Got it. Everybody worked their fucking ass off for months on this, and I--
02:27:41 -I mean, even if they-- -And you come in and you do the mince--
02:27:43 -No, no, it's not-- -You come in and do the mince--
02:27:45 Yeah, no, but it's not even, like-- It's not--
02:27:48 -No one thinks you did it on purpose. -Well, I know, but that doesn't matter.
02:27:50 My awareness has to be better, fucking-- Like, it's not--
02:27:54 How many Wake Up Mincy shows have you done?
02:27:56 This was number five. That's what I'm saying. It's--
02:27:59 I mean, we have five Wake Up Mincy's, two major incidents.
02:28:04 -Overall, I think it's like 12. -12.
02:28:06 -Five on the second half. -Five on the second half.
02:28:08 But I mean, look, I shouldn't even be here.
02:28:11 I mean, you fucking-- All the stuff you did for me, and, like, the last--
02:28:15 Literally, there's nothing that makes you more upset than upsetting this company.
02:28:19 -No, I know. That's why I don't-- It's just-- -I mean, like--
02:28:21 No, and then, like, it doesn't even matter if it's an honest mistake,
02:28:26 because, like, there has to be awareness.
02:28:29 I mean, I don't know. Anyway, I'm just ashamed of myself,
02:28:32 and I fucking can't apologize more.
02:28:35 That didn't even-- Saying I'm sorry doesn't even matter.
02:28:37 Like, it's-- I fucked up again for, like, the-- I don't know how many times, but--
02:28:44 I don't know what to say. Like, there's nothing I can say.
02:28:47 Like, "Oh, I'm an idiot." Everybody knows that already.
02:28:50 -Well, you didn't give away the winner. -And I didn't say racial slur, at least.
02:28:54 -You-- Well, that-- I said-- -That counts for something.
02:28:56 Honestly, I said that to our dumb people.
02:28:58 I would have had to fire you if you did another racial slur.
02:29:01 -I know you would have. -And it would have been your fault,
02:29:03 and everyone's for not having a dumb thought.
02:29:05 Like, you're-- By the way, I think you-- For all I know, you're capable of anything, Nitzan.
02:29:09 You will say anything, anytime. Your brain doesn't work.
02:29:13 So, it's like, I can't-- I'm almost a massive tech.
02:29:17 I can't believe we just let you roll right back on and go live.
02:29:21 Like, what are we doing? Of course. I can't believe you made it three episodes.
02:29:25 -But you didn't watch the show last night. -No, it was only ten.
02:29:27 Right, which is-- That's you being very stupid.
02:29:30 Like, you did what? You just assumed you-- You didn't watch the show.
02:29:33 -Oh, yeah. -I can't believe you've done 12 Minzies
02:29:36 and had two international incidents in one.
02:29:40 Insane rate. You're hitting at almost 10%.
02:29:44 -I'm not 10. I think that's like 17. -Oh, yeah, you're right. You're right.
02:29:48 Sorry, I'm bad at math. You're right.
02:29:50 Oh, your show was canceled till they have that.
02:29:52 You're not-- They don't have a dump button for them.
02:29:55 How did you do ESPN Radio? Wasn't that live?
02:29:58 Yeah. I did a three-hour radio show for four years.
02:30:01 -How? -Never cried. I don't say F-bombs or GD ever.
02:30:05 Well, I just said a lot of them, actually. That's a lie.
02:30:08 -How many times did they dump you? -Oh, they have a dump button.
02:30:11 Yeah, they have a dump button. Every radio show has a dump button.
02:30:14 -Oh, the FCC. -Yeah, yeah.
02:30:16 So do you know how many times they dumped you, or were you ever even on air?
02:30:21 -Yeah, I was on air all the time. -You're just dumping on my page.
02:30:25 Another great show in the books, and they're in the booth.
02:30:27 I cannot believe we let you just go unchained back onto the Internet.
02:30:31 There's just nothing I can say. I don't know. I mean, I fucked up. I'm an idiot.
02:30:36 And everybody worked hard. I don't know. I'm just lucky.
02:30:43 And those are-- There's been a couple times in Barcelona where things hit right at the time
02:30:49 to get me as mad as I can be because I haven't had time to digest it.
02:30:53 So it's like I literally-- We were pulling into the parking lot when I found out,
02:30:56 and I was just enraged.
02:31:00 I'm still employed. I can still do the show if I have a dump button.
02:31:04 That's considered. I thought it would happen.
02:31:08 -Wyoming minus three over four. -Class F4 always.
02:31:13 All right, let's go back to the office. What do I have next?
02:31:16 -I mean, I have two. -Two. All right.
02:31:19 -Actually, the-- -DK.
02:31:22 -What was your take when you saw the clip? -I mean, it's just so loud.
02:31:34 Hilarious. I don't know. I don't know. One of those things, like--
02:31:38 I don't know how you can be angry.
02:31:40 It's like, "Mintz." It's like, "What did you kind of expect?"
02:31:44 And the man said the N-word on camera.
02:31:48 -We were overdue for a fan, you know? -How are you?
02:31:56 -It's been a good six-month run. -So I know I'm supposed to be on
02:31:58 "Wake Up, Mintz" tomorrow. Is that off?
02:32:00 So I don't know if we'll have the dump. We're not canceled.
02:32:03 We just have to have a dump button, so I'll wait.
02:32:05 I don't know if we're gonna have it in time for tomorrow or not.
02:32:07 -I'll find out soon. -Okay. Sounds good.
02:32:09 But the show's not canceled.
02:32:11 -So I'm not talking to you guys. -We're doing the show tomorrow.
02:32:13 -I'm just saying in general. -Wake Up, Mintz is not canceled.
02:32:16 -The episode tomorrow might be. -Yeah. So I'll get you a dump.
02:32:19 I feel like it's extremely ballsy to do this,
02:32:31 considering the day I've had. But I told Dave
02:32:33 I watch a lot of "Green Bay" this summer.
02:32:35 Give it a pitch. Don't get pitched.
02:32:37 I love "Green Bay." I love when it gets tangled.
02:32:40 I heard the maddest you've ever been.
02:32:43 I said to him, "Those people aren't Milton or New York."
02:32:46 Here, it was as heated as things mad as you've ever been.
02:32:49 But it was like when you were screaming at Mintz on the phone,
02:32:52 it was reminiscent of the "Sad Eyes" phone call
02:32:54 when you were just like, "Shut the fuck up!"
02:32:57 -He was in the building, right? -Yeah. He just grabbed his shit and ran.
02:33:00 Get back here and face your problems, Mintz!
02:33:04 When you said, "I couldn't see him,"
02:33:09 I obviously knew it was Mintz, but the way you were like,
02:33:11 "You, come here," and then you were like, "Is this live?"
02:33:13 You were like, "Stay outside." It was literally a dog.
02:33:16 "Come. Sit. Stay." It was unbelievable.
02:33:19 -Is he here tonight? -I made him wear his dog's face.
02:33:23 -There was a wall with a dog's cat. -There's no one else there.
02:33:29 See, I was walking around and they were saying,
02:33:31 "Ain't mad that it's not you. It's the best."
02:33:34 Get your dumb ass in here.
02:33:37 [laughter]
02:33:38 [whoosh]
02:33:39 [whoosh]
02:33:40 [silence]
02:33:42 [silence]
02:33:44 [silence]
