Would have loved to hear more of Dave & Barstool during the early years. Too much of interviewer talking about himself. No one came for that.

[@DavidMeltzer]

Thank you, I appreciate your perspective and feedback. Let me know how I can be of service?

[@kylecarr9374]

Hes tryin to make money off and put himself out there through Dave Portnoy

[@DavidMeltzer]

Kyle - I appreciate your perspective. Would love to learn why you see it that way, please let me a good number to call you at?

[@unglemergy]

if you cant understand kyles perspective without additional explanation there isnt a lot of extra hes going to be able to do to help.

[@DavidMeltzer]

I interview entrepreneurs/athletes/executives for entrepreneur.com to help empower others to empower others and share as much knowledge as possible for free. I appreciate your perspective as well.

[@osullivan1091]

Only talk about yourself, everyone knows the rules....

[@sinker0]

I am spellbound by his ability to interrupt. Its honestly a concerted talent...

[@Javier-ev9jt]

Well, I learned a lot about Meltzer and his brothers...

[@hernandezmarkie7382]

Dude I'm glad I I stumbled across this great channel

[@jrmaley7129]

BTW, Pres isn't the CEO nor is Howard Stern from Massachusetts...from Long Island and went to Boston University.

[@brianfollendorf168]

Interviewer was too busy selling himself to the interviewee

[@ThatGuy-ot9uv]

21:31 That look on Prez's face when Meltzer says "I love your one bite rule", like this dude has no clue. LOL

[@lolapannari2306]

Only watched this to learn more about Dave Portnoy and Barstool, however the Dave Meltzer humble brags, name dropping, over talking and clearly didn’t do much research. I have watched hundreds of Prez Portnoy KZbin post and the 1 bite is in good fun. He always takes several bites. I would have loved to have known what his parent did for careers, how they helped Dave, is any of his family involved with Barstool, how he met Dan Katz and where does he see this going as far if other cities etc Please Dave Meltzer do a follow up with Dave Portnoy and just ask a question and let him elaborate without leading or inserting yourself into it Very disappointing

[@DavidMeltzer]

thank you Lori! I appreciate your feedback.

[@lolapannari2306]

David Meltzer I love the show

[@jessealbrecht1095]

Why does this interviewer feel the need to summarize Dave’s answer for each question?

[@vinceuribe660]

Dave is a hall of fame athlete!!!

[@muells21]

this interviewer is the king of the humble brag. shut up dude

[@danbarrett6113]

Meltzer shut up and let the guy we tuned in to listen to talk for pete's sake.

[@xDJZ00Mx]

Business Schools at universities don't just "let you in". you still gotta compete with others that have the same idea as you. Its even harder to get in your freshman year of college because its more difficult to reach higher gpa in college.

[@toby1753]

This interview went off the rails the moment he thought Dave was the CEO haha

[@StinkyMink]

Dude knew dave was going to give him more views than ever so he had to show himself off lol

[@jrmaley7129]

My gosh, all this interviewer does is talk about himself. Probably should've saved those millions of dollars you gave to women in Africa and you wouldn't be bankrupt in retirement. Go Pres Go!!

[@DavidMeltzer]

JR - I appreciate your feedback. Would love to chat for 5 minutes to learn why you see things that way? Please let me know the best number to call you at?

[@unglemergy]

this guy wanting everybodys phone numbers is lols.

[@joseph2707]

So true.

[@seegee9]

@@unglemergy prob wants to call and talk about himself

[@dylandickeson2929]

This is a textbook way on how to interview yourself.

[@DavidMeltzer]

I appreciate your feedback. Please let me know how I can be of service

[@dinorosga9147]

Is this a infomercial for this guy?

[@patrickbooth5091]

Awful interview skills. let the subject talk, don't rant about yourself.

[@JeremyClayy]

Good interview, I don't think I've heard Dave's background before or how barstool came to be

[@DavidMeltzer]

That's awesome to hear, I really appreciate it. It's what we were hoping to accomplish. Let me know how I can be of service?

[@skopetv2]

I am so curious to see Kirk min at barstool. I will subscribe

[@bruceberry2131]

This dude is just stroking himself the whole time....he should of just interviewed himself

[@andrewfaulk6048]

Go Pres Go! Brick by Brick!

[@mrpenna2967]

great interview. got to love the prez. i think d.m.should watch the youtube series hot ones and see how sean evens interviews and how he lets the guest flow the show instead of giving toss up questions. dont get me wrong im not knocking your style but if you want followers and views lets us ear more from the person you are interviewing.

[@DavidMeltzer]

Understood - thank you

[@chrisbennett2374]

Frequency

[@strabe30]

Dave was trying to be nice here, he just sat there and listened to this dude brag about his life. Pretty disappointing

[@thomasmjacobs1]

Say frequency one more time. I dare ya.

[@Javier-ev9jt]

Howard Stern from Massachusetts...good god.

[@MrAdamJoel]

Howard Stern from Mass? He’s a New Yorker, went to college in Boston.

[@jackbauer4101]

Wow this dude is tone deaf. Although, I do give him credit for the Howard Stern comparison- pretty spot on.

[@tommclarty17]

I really like when Barstool is accused of being anti-Semitic.

[@Tennischamp450]

Go Pres Go

[@corybaker839]

Thought this was about David Portnoy?

[@SamuelDuplessis12]

Hey, Dave do you know you have the same name as the greatest Wrestling Journalist of all-time, Dave Meltzer, The Greatest Tag Team of this generation, The Young Bucks named a move after him called The Meltzer Driver which is basically a springboard 450 into a double Tombstone Piledriver or their other finish called The Indytaker (springboard splash into a double Tombstone Piledriver) but with a flip. And please do a Dave Meltzer vs Dave Meltzer interview.

[@DavidMeltzer]

We have spoken a few times and even accidentally done interviews with radio shows thinking we were each other! Always a funny mixup, but he definitely has a very loyal fanbase!

[@SamuelDuplessis12]

David Meltzer, oh cool! I would love to see you and Dave on this channel.

[@drummerboy5]

David meltzer you should watch how sean in the hot ones interviews his guests. Very thorough research, ask questions about childhood and early adulthood, and only speak to ask questions. Don’t input any of your own experiences

[@DavidMeltzer]

I appreciate your feedback

[@louzer2566]

Only one Dave everybody knows the rules

[@debbie2042]

David, don't listen to all of these negative comments. I thought it was a great interview and David Portnoy is an interesting subject. I am a huge sports fan and have just recently discovered Barstool. Portnoy is a very intelligent guy and it was fun to hear about how he created Barstool Sports. Thanks.

[@DavidMeltzer]

There are no negative comments, just people's perspective. I appreciate it all.

[@hans_du_plessis]

go pres go

[@bigpopslaflare]

Is 20 million the magic number ??

[@roberttroilo4842]

Good interview, feedback from a 24 year old target Demo... Spend less time validating your success during the interview while it is impressive it seems as if.... 1 you are trying to trump his success or 2 maybe relate with your own sports world relationships. Great interview though. More content like this would drive more consumers in my age bracket your way. Best of luck to you!

[@DavidMeltzer]

Really appreciate it! Thank you. Please let me know how I can be of service to you.

[@roberttroilo4842]

You do the same as well! Would love to help you grow you reach into youtube!

Salt of the earth

[@DavidMeltzer]

thank you for your comment

[@danielwalters1521]

Surprised Dave didn’t ask him to stop using the word frequency. You ever study Buddhism?

[@bdanza]

Was this about barstool and Portnoy or Meltzer?

[@DavidMeltzer]

I appreciate your feedback Brian - would love your feedback on my entire podcast series. I understand your perspective is from this one interview. Appreciate your feedback either way.

[@bdanza]

I have far too many opinions about this kind of stuff to leave in the comments section on youtube. Suffice it to say that I feel like interviews should be about the person you are interviewing, not the interviewer. I think that it would serve you better if you made it more about them, and they would likely promote your content through their channels.

[@DavidMeltzer]

I am grateful for your feedback. Thank you very much! Please let me know how I can be of service to you?

[@bdanza]

I am not sure if your thanks are serious, or just being nice in the comments section (which is definitely good for youtube). Regardless, I am serious about this stuff. We struggle with this on a daily basis, when our young anonymous reporters are trying to make a name for themselves. You already have a brand, so you don't need to show off. Lance Armstrong's podcast is a pretty good example, he only interjects personal anecdotes when needed, but doesn't make the story about him.

[@DavidMeltzer]

Brian - I am of service, would love to chat for 10 mins on the phone. I am not a journalist by trade, started this podcast to share the playbooks of the most successful people in sports & entertainment to help empower others. Feedback like yours helps me improve. Can you email me the best number to reach you at? [e-mail]

[@mikeridgland4783]

Did this guy just say Howard stern grew up in Massachusetts?

[@leightonb524]

[@Ayecode]

Dave fuck the haters good interview bro. I’m running a successful platform right now called “ayecode”. 17k instagram 1k KZbin. I also shoot interviews with buzzing artists and when I get bigger I’ll transfer to celebs and athletes. My platform is growing at a fairly fast pace. I’m starting a sports section @ayecodesports . Dave is a big inspiration for me with what he is doing with barstool. I have a different audience but it’s still the same blueprint. I posted for a whole year straight last month and learned a lot.

[@jbvap]

Pleasantly surprised it wasn’t just be that wanted to trash this guy. I have such fascination and admiration for successful entrepreneurs. But so many of them are such douchebags. They’re constantly talking about some obscure companies they sold, friends they have, money they’ve made and gave away ect.

[@greatersports6985]

Thought I was gonna hear from the founder of Barstool Sports 🤦‍♂️ stop talking so much about yourself

[@nawty3726]

Dave, your a 10. Hit me up I would be an asset to barstool!

[@tommclarty17]

Nick Nichols an asset in a bloggers tool belt is knowing when ‘your’ applies vs. ‘you’re.’

[@ericwackowski7747]

Obviously meltzer has never actually seen the review! One bite everyone knows the rules, I need to do that or I will weigh 400 pounds.

[@karlossingh842]

Oh your the guy who lied about meeting Jeff bezos

[@DavidMeltzer]

unfortunately someone edited that video to misrepresent my words, where I said "imagine if I met..." I appreciate your forgiveness and understanding. let me know how I can be of service?

Terrible interview of the Pres 👎🏼

Stern is the worst and biggest sellout ever. Cheap with employees as well. Dave strikes me as a better person

[@patrickbooth5091]

Awful interview skills. let the subject talk, don't rant about yourself.

[@DavidMeltzer]

Thank you Patrick - I'm grateful for your honest feedback. Please let me know how I can be of service to you?

[@vincentsorrentino3422]

David Meltzer watch the interview and think about how much we had to listen to what you have done. When feedback is this constant you can just admit you did something wrong. Stop saying “thank you for your feedback, how can I be of service to you” and just let the important person talk
