Barstool sucks and it’s fans are the lowest common denominator that are easily humored by dumb shite.

Likely through no idea of their own, FS1 tapped TBob to go from hosting daily morning radio in fricking Baton Rouge to hosting a morning tv show 4 day a week. It's a wild strategy. This show has like zero cross over appeal to anyone that isn't a diehard Stoolie.

And yet Fox dug in and thought he’d help their ratings I don’t hate Barstool but it is great seeing those who bet on them realize it’s not as popular as they’d thought it’d be.

Barstool is past their prime and the ratings prove it.

ETA - no idea why they fell off

I don't blame him. Just sit back and enjoy the ride but he's not even an entrenched Barstool guy so it's really weird for him to be the front man most days.

I think Fox is going after their online presence more than their TV presence. The people that follow barstool watch stuff online not TV

It’s absolutely terrible.

I tried watching it twice and turned it off both times after just a few minutes.

I don’t but those ratings are depths of hell bad. There’s no spinning it as “no one watches a morning sports show.”

But don't they still do the regular Barstool stuff? Why would you watch this over that? And I just looked at the youtube numbers and combining those with the televised viewers it's topping out less than 75K on great days.

I’m sure it’s shite, but it seems like they were never going to be successful. Seems like barstools prime demographic is men in their late 20s to 45 or so. That has to be a terrible demographic for a morning sports show.

I don’t even think about FS1 existing unless I happen to see a live football game late at night.

How’s that compare to LIV on FS1?

I enjoy PMT when they have a good guest.

But otherwise most barstool content is garbage. Though most all sports content not related to actual games is garbage.

I'd say in general Barstool is tanking. Their content is just bad. They lose their best talent and haven't come close to replacing them well. I don't know a single person that watches all their crap anymore.

They also used to have a good social media that now stinks.
