@@lekobetyrus Dave Pageviews is a content guy. Content at the time was radio. And those will always be the classic barstool years. Don’t think he’s reflected upon it as much as KFC.

@Brett Amoroso and what “pocket of stand up comedy podcasts” are you referring too? I’m not aware of any stand up comedian podcasts created by/at barstool and if there is one I’d like to check it out. I love listening/watching Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend”, Brian Callen’s “Fighter and the Kid”. KFC may have appeared as a guest on other comedians podcasts and of course “KFC Radio”, “The Dave Portnoy Show” and many other barstool content podcasts can be funny at times, but these are not stand up comedians. Feel free to explain yourself.

Not a kfc fan but enjoy when he does stuff like this

[@arcarioandsons]

I think the rundown with the OG3 is awesome and everyone loves it because it's about the three individuals more than the stories. I would invest more into polarizing characters and figure out how to keep them in house, instead of saying "they get the big offer and we replace um" because these people aren't replaceable as has been made painfully clear. Quality over quantity, loyalty over everything. It's not at all too late to bring it back to the golden days, and the OG rundowns, Jerry, Mintzy are all exactly what the Dr ordered!

[@zachgraham299]

Don’t forgot about Bosco in things that doctor ordered. That guy is pure gold

[@arcarioandsons]

@@zachgraham299 oh absolutely! Jerry is I think what's gonna showcase Rico's potential, I think Marty and Rico can be hysterical but when the pressure is on them to be the leader of the show it just feels awkward and they aren't able to be off the cuff and in their element as much, but Jerry takes the lead on a show without even thinking about it, that's natural to him and he's amazing at it! Them together doing random vlogs I think could be hysterical! Imagine them going to a shady Asian massage parlor, or going to eat goats eyes, them getting make overs from the out and about boys, and let them just go and it will be dynamite!

I think Dave has a good point that all of the original guys have carved out their niche, but I also think it’s important now that they’ve grown so much to do stuff like this and the big 3 rundowns.

[@Radioghost717]

I think Dave regrets this Penn deal. Hes overworked, underpaid, his money is tied to a manipulated market, and he gave up all of Barstools upside with that deal. If Mcafee alone got 120mil, Alex Cooper got 60mil, the entire Barstool brand today is worth a billion.

[@JAU-qd2wp]

I’d say he definitely regrets the deal especially with the full out out option for penn if he could opt out he would. But when his contract is over if they want him they are going to have to pay him a boat load of money that will make up for it
