Dave Portnoy Reacts To Barstool's Most Controversial Podcast | Barstool Rundown - March 20, 2023

[@tylerbramhall6596]

Hahahahahaha “Gaz doesn’t play favorites”……. Meanwhile KB and Nick can’t get a main account tweet to save their lives. It’s just meangirls bs every Monday

[@haleyjames1465]

Despite never being promoted on the main channels ANUS averages 30K views and episodes while the Mean Girls average 15K. I also don't think Nick and KB want to / care about being on the main feed. Their youtube engagement is very high. In my opinion, being talented enough to carry a podcast with little to no promotion is much more valuable than getting views on social media that don't transfer to people actually watching your show.

[@WowsGaming]

@@haleyjames1465 kb also has a pretty big twitter of his own to promote if I’m not mistaken, I remember seeing his tweets before I knew what barstool was.

[@jdoggz151]

gaz literally posted another mean girl clip on main as soon as kelly finished her rant on the yak...gaz knows exactly what he's doing and it's working

[@TheRealConMan98]

tbh i would pay for barstool gold just to never see another mean girl clip again

[@bryce6808]

The mean girl clips are so dumb and outrageous I find it impossible to believe people see it and think I want to hear more of that and go to listen their podcast.

[@hunterp5252]

Yup

[@zackjohns323]

💯 Never been more accurate

[@kooteckkirby1982]

Dave doesn’t realize how dumb this is. Anytime those mean girl pod clips come up now it genuinely does make the brand look desperate to get interactions. I hate keegs but she’s got a point that these girls are using the lowest of low effort to get clicks.

[@sorenovergaard4679]

Barstool was already desperate for interactions, they have sports takes just as outlandish. When you realize its all just kinda in the name of entertainment its funnier imo

[@PMTcommenter]

I unfollowed the main account early summer becuase all they posted was dumb shit like that and tik tok. Havent once looked back to refollow. This makes me even happier that I unfollowed.

[@Sam_guitar1999]

yeah it's nauseating. the main page is pretty much either mean girls clips or kfc and feits interviewing that porn star. like keegs said, i'd be embarassed to be associated with it

[@Dragon-tc6ud]

their podcast is content and it sounds like you’re a hater lmao

[@kooteckkirby1982]

[@jabo6835]

The only numbers they get are thousands of likes on every comment saying “get this trash off the main page.” That is the definition of a bad look for barstool as a whole. This is what happens when barstool goes corporate, the watered down clickbait content doesn’t matter, only the number of social media “impressions.”

[@kobespilot8009]

Never skipped more of a rundown that when KFC started talking about the WBC…

[@therealchannelrap]

this one hurts my head. The numbers are coming specifically because of what they are creating. they are conjuring a way to make numbers via annoyance and in retrospect People hate it. Mean girls is not close to Call Her Daddy, they need clips. and even then... they aint got shit

[@phillyphan595]

I dont think Keegs would have the same reaction if the mean girls clips were just getting posted on their own socials, as opposed to the main account with millions more eyeballs on each post. it's not just that they exist or have those clips, its that those are the clips going to the largest audience

[@CB-ke5xx]

Agreed. I just looked up some rankings of PMT, Twisted History, ANUS, SOABD, and Mean Girls to see where they stack up. Every other pod is ranked higher than mean girls in their lane. So it begs the question Kelly Keegs is asking: if these jabronis don't have any listeners for the product they are making, why are they on the page? Cool, your dumb ass short got a bunch of views. That does nothing for thr channel, hell it probably drives people away, and it obviously isn't growing their podcast. Ad rev isn't awarded based on an IG short on an acct with 4 million followers already. It's based on your repeatable audience. How many people download and listen to your pod each week. And Kelly has a very valid point. Not only are they not worthy of being on the main acct page, they are bringing down the image of women at the company, and in my opinion probably driving away core subscribers.

[@timbotime5949]

[@RustyShackleford997]

[@adamneedles8122]

Stroman was mad because KFC said he hopes everybody on the roster gets injured. KFC tweeted that and Stroman responded.

[@pgh11]

Yea KFC white washed that situation quite a lot. Pretty much comes down to him being a jackass who only cares about his team.

[@danielalvarez4879]

you guys are dead wrong on World Baseball Classic - this is how the game should be played with this much passion. MLB has taken out all the passion of the game. These guys get to represent their country and be themselves in a world wide tournament. This gives guys on a shit team a chance to compete in something meaningful. Injury is a risk in anything they do. Trevor Bauer botched the WS start because a stupid drone. KFC cant even run a 40 yd dash - this dude needs to keep his sports takes in his TMZ gossip studio.

Mean girls get 15k views per podcast while they make it out that they go viral everyday, thats chopped liver buddy, the “viral” clips arent converting to podcast views, barstool inoculation of new fans, or merch sales at all… not to mention it turns off the hardcore stoolies who have been this companies bread and butter for over a decade and to see dave championing the idiocy is the cherry on top that proves this isnt the barstool we once loved anymore

[@TCDAVIS22]

The guy that was filming Javale is the guy who snuck on stage during the video game awards and said something about overlord Bill Clinton in the microphone.

[@johnamazing1746]

Keegs who is annoying is right. Clickbait diminishes content. The mean girls dinosaur thing was stupid. Now the no washing hands thing is beyond stupid. It does 100 percent diminish the quality of content at barstool. This isn't genuine takes like Glenny balls who i think is over rated but he says he isn't a strip club guy. However he can name strip clubs in random parts of the country. Cheah has crazy takes but you believe he is genuine and that he is just dumb or maybe lacks the ability to think outside his tiny box. Jersey Jerry has them as well. Nick and Kb have skits where you know they are smart but you can never tell when what they are saying is real or fake but they do it in a way that is very very funny. Keegs is right that the mean girls content actually harms barstool more than it helps. Dave talking about call her daddy and the athletes sleeping with whoever is not comparable. One is making a fictitious list the other is like Dave saying i don't wipe my ass after shitting.

[@randomidiot6278]

Mean girls views are super inflated by the shorts. Remember looking when gaz was saying it was most viewed podcast. It doesn’t to the mad numbers but the clips with them being stupid on TikTok and KZbin shorts make the numbers say way more than it actually is
