There's something for everyone at Barstool.

I'll still listen to PMT, though I'm more selective with the interviews and segments.

I don't mind Brandon Walker and will listen to Unnecessary Roughness pretty consistently.

Unnamed Show with Portnoy, Whit, and Kirk is good, too.

Once Portnoy and Big Cat retire, though, the company is done.

It's basically Spittin' Chiclets, Gruden and Frank. That's about it.

Guys like KFC, Rico Bosco, Tommy Smokes, etc. all blow and I don't find it funny or amusing. Dave is fine but he gets on my nerves a lot.

Surviving Barstool was great. Also enjoy The Dozen for trivia.

I know who all of those guys are and what they do. I'm asking you what all shows/ podcasts you have tried watching. I'm still not how you are grouping Frank in with the other 3 though.

The NY office sucks arse. I honestly don’t understand how the majority of Barstool employees are able to make $100,000+ a year when they literally don’t do shite. Jersey Jerry? Marty Mush? They suck arse.

I listen to PMT and enjoy the show but that’s about the extent of it. Getting paid to show up to their Chicago gym/office and frick off all day seems like the life since apparently anyone can do it.

Eh, I think they will more so downsize. They still have other brands that make money that don't involve Dave or Big Cat. They will just have to get rid of the waste. That will likely happen when their New York lease expires imo.

I don’t think they do. I’m fairly confident there’s A LOT of content people making like $60k a year

Like others here have said it’s hit or miss, and most of the time it’s just way too much “content” to consume, especially daily.
Spittin Chiclets and PMT are great. I don’t care for UNR nor Brandon Walker although he can be funny especially when he goes off about Ole Miss. I really think Barstool could do a better job covering CFB.
Idgaf about the pop culture/viral bs nor the manufactured drama between hosts. It also seems like they employ way too many people from the northeast- idgaf about NY, Boston, and Philly teams.

I don’t either but outside of PMT and their core guys that have been there forever this is where they’ve had the most success

It’s gotten like ESPN with too much emphasis on teams in the Northeast.

You sure are bat shite crazy man

I don’t pay much attention to barstool anymore, bro gambling content just isn’t interesting to me. Don’t really care to watch a live feed of someone watching a game they have money on but to each their own

Dave always has to have a guy like Nug on the payroll for his own personal entertainment. My only hold up with believing him is he hates Jews and Dave is Jewish and defends them all the time

I mean they have a ton of other content that doesn't revolve around gambling. Especially now that they aren't owned by Penn.

Back in the day this might have been true, but it doesn't really apply anymore

For anything that doesn’t involve Dave or Big Cat, Chicks in the Office is probably their biggest and most profitable product.

I enjoy their banter, but they are all kind of dipshits. And outside of NFL season, it seems like they all phone it in hard and don't have anything to offer beyond what an average casual fan could tell you. I find their basketball commentary to be particularly awful.

Nah, it's great. Only leftist weirdos and old people don't like them. You're probably both.

Foreplay does well too. Merch at most PGA events and podcast puts up good numbers.
