That's what he does. Being so open like that is great for his rep. He has no fucks to give when it comes to saying what he thinks. Truth always wins eventually. That's why everyone who tries to cancel him with their lies end up looking the a-holes. Dave Portnoy may be the only person who doesn't have 1 skeleton in any closet. He hides nothing.

[@loganrueckl979]

If I'm being honest, I think the "hate" you see from the stoolies comes from the fear of the future... If Dave's not in the office or not around, the quality of content goes to the floor.

@@PIP-zf9yb I’m shocked at how little the rest of this country understands our city. That shit that happened after the Marathon Bombing wasn’t an accident, and it wasn’t an act. New England is a legit community that looks out for each other, takes care of each other, and stands up for each other. I’ve lived all over the US, and in other parts of the world-there is NOWHERE else like it. That shit Ortiz said, and the WAY he said it? “This is OUR fucking city”? That sentiment is EXACTLY how we feel. Brady was let in, and the fans here stood by him without flinching when the rest of the world HATED him, and tried to run him out of the sport. If he goes out KNOWINGLY disregarding this fan base, he’ll be dead to this region. What he did was disrespectful, and it’s not something people here are going to allow. No one in Boston is going to fuck with him if doesn’t think this fan base is worth acknowledging when HE RETIRES FROM THE LEAGUE.

He knows they are going to put out good stuff. This was a while ago too.

The reality is that Dave made more off Call Me Daddy and their merch than he has with 90% of his past successes. Oonce you make that kind of success I think its hard not to check out. Everyone that cashes out like Rogan and Stern completely lose touch and their content spirals down. sucks but like you said, yak and PMT are still amazing and Big Cats always been my fave. I still enjoy advisors, the pizza reviews, and the pickems personally tho

[@asee7117]

Amazing Whit performance he pretzel-ed Pres (Karim with an assist)! True the live streams need a TON OF WORK. It's missing key elements, remember you are there for the audience. If you want them to grow you need to work on. 1) Bring the people into the stream more, by working on setting the scene and introducing the players in the room. It's good you put the bets up but getting some personal updates how they are feeling about the bet what play just happened and who that is good for recap. If there is background or side info needed let the audience know. Frankie, Biz, Whit and Kayce have been best at introducing the stream, giving some recap before breaks, coming up to the camera to retell the story. 2) Take time to take some questions talk with the audience, guys sit there with so much dead air, get some questions rolling Nick Hammy was great at this the other day on his test stream, get a producer or host if the streamers are to busy or focused to ask. 3) Get some fan participation like something on the playbarstool app and barstool sportsbook, to go along with the games more interactive then just a bet, maybe more player prop related, Sure the Sonk contest is up there but its pretty well a load of crap for picking exact scores of 3 games plus goal scorers (should capitalize with MR.ICE and have Over/Under). Maybe its a monthly/quarterly leader board with merch giveaways and maybe a grand prize come and watch a stream with your favourite personalities or Superbowl package.
