I Fired Kirk For 4 Minutes & Reacting To Surviving Barstool | The Unnamed Show Episode 39

[@tarikbenjelloun5900]

As crazy as Kirk is I love that he doesn’t let Dave off. He says it how it is

[@jackg3387]

Real ones seem crazy to the rest of the acting world. I agree, like him or hate him, he says it how it is.

[@SNNetwork]

@@jackg3387 he doesnt give a fuck thats why. also its insane of dave to fire him over calling a phony chick phony lmao

[@MeganDaniel-y9m]

Bri can call Grace EVIL but Kirk can’t say she’s a fraud where she clearly is being a fraud? Dave’s obsession with chickenfry is legitimately so weird

[@JQAsaymyname]

Anyone free to cliff note the beef of grace and chicken I have no clue

[@xRP5]

Bri and Grace aren't friends anymore?

[@drose-s8m]

No - I would encourage you to watch the last BFFs pod to get the dirt but it’s all just Bri being a narcissistic, self absorbed asshole and not telling the truth. And Dave supporting it.

[@loganstark1542]

@@drose-s8mI can’t believe the hole she has dug for herself in the past 6 months. Even tried to absolutely bury her ex to get love from the fans but fumbled it completely a week or 2 later w this planbri breakup. Acting like she deserves endless fawning from grace. Maybe she should just avoid the comments. And live her life. But maybe try being less narcissistic.

[@YouBetchaBets]

Bri cheated on multiple BFs that she admitted on Theo Vonn’s pod. She left her BF to go tour with a country star. Now she publicly trashes her best friend of 20yrs. Bri needs a reality check. No one would know her if it wasn’t for barstool. Her nose is so high in the air she’s not going to be able to breathe. She’s lucky Kirk doesn’t go off on her.

[@ImChief]

Holy shit I forgot she went on Theo’s podcast. Does Dave know that nobody remembers or cares about her appearance? I feel like he holds her in this stardom role that she doesn’t really deserve. Her role was being Zach Bryan’s girlfriend and now that they’re over she’s scrambling to keep any relevance she gained. Add on the fact she’s handling her friendship meltdown horribly and you now have a disaster in PR. If he really thinks she can be a star then let her go off and do her own thing. Barstool fans have heard enough about her.

[@jacyfisher6170]

got fake bewbs as well

[@CC-ku2hz]

Let me get this straight. Bri can’t be called a fraud by a barstool employee but Bri can trash Grace for 30 minutes on BFFs?

[@Momentsbykaitie]

She wasnt trashing her, she was explaining what happened, grace had the option to join the pod and say her side and she decided not to because she knows shes in the wrong.

[@CC-ku2hz]

@@Momentsbykaitiethere are screenshots of Bri calling Grace evil and manipulative. Spare me. She was trying to turn people against Grace.

[@junde410]

Bri has value, Grace does not. It’s all about numbers. If she brought no value, you can shit on them. If they’re valuable, Dave will protect them

[@hmd6202]

​@junde410 Exactly, 100% correct. The 79 people so far that liked the comment have never worked a day in their lives. It's obvious Dave thinks Bri's ceiling is unlimited and she could be Barstool's next Alex Cooper. Grace (no disrespect) is clearly not viewed through the same lens. Welcome to life and the real world!

[@jaja2753]

Well Grace was using her, Grace is a worthless whale who would be a nobody without using Bri to get a job at Barstool. Not a Bri fan either but it was very obvious her friend was taking advantage of her popularity

[@chadp6324]

Idk if I’m confused. Whenever the Ria/Marty/Hank drama came out it was top Barstool news. But the Brianna/Grace drama can’t be discussed?

[@teamspieth2327]

Dave has lost the plot. Sad

[@SnoozeOnYouTube]

Because unlike the Ria Marty Hank thing, Dave's 100% on the wrong side here and he knows it.

[@Justanotherdetailer]

Dave has a storyline to follow with Bri

[@tannerhall3344]

Well Hank was his guy so he had Hanks back. Who’s getting the hate is reversed here but it’s the same concept he has who he is very close to back which is Bri.

[@mikexclusive2070]

I also think a lawsuit was being threatened on Marty rias end due to all that shit...if u look at the timeline Dave and everyone was going nuts then one day boom everything was perfectly fine lol

[@jessehutchinson7539]

she needs to disappear if she wants to return in any kind of accepted way. i have a feeling she's going to hoe herself to influencers and live a vapid life.

[@Aml2515]

The hate for Brianna started long before the break up. As stated, if there’s that much hate there’s usually a reason. Dave has no problem verbally abusing any employee, yet no one can speak VAILD criticism on Chickenfry. Dave claims he thinks he knows Brianna really well, yet that’s the perception she’s giving him. Meanwhile, the reality is she’s in people’s dm’s saying Grace is evil amongst other things and shit on her for 30 min on bffs. GRACE IS ALSO AN EMPLOYEE. This is just insanity!

[@sammckinley7011]

You’re telling me this shit with Bri requires 12 hours of time a day from Dave? This guy is either painfully obsessed or just in love with her. Dave stock continues to plummet. She ain’t his daughter.

[@nunya8295]

In the last week, Bri has been DMing *random viewers* on social media slandering O'Malley as evil, manipulative, cruel, awful, etc; and there was a 45+ minute segment on Grace's BOSS' podcast dedicated to getting Bri's perpetual victimhood narrative out there. But Kirk-a father who provides for a family-calls Bri a fraud and gets verbally abused by his boss and has his livelihood threatened? ...Dave, it would behoove you to engage with your own biases more honestly. It's not appropriate for any workplace to enforce a culture of favoritism, where employees are held to different standards based on the personal taste of the owner. Either employees using their platforms to shit talk other employees is acceptable or it isn't.

[@Portez77]

Well said

[@horizonfios]

Over the past 2 years Grace has been leaking all of Brianna’s troubles and abuse and siding with the internet mafia that buries her best friend for no reason all because she’s jealous, and OUTSIDER WHITNEY CUMMINGS IS ADVISING GRACE TO DO ALL THIS GRACE IS A BADDDD PERSON WHO WOULD STILL BE A CASHIER AT STOP N SHOP WITHOUT BRI PAYING HER WAY AND GETTING HER TO BARSTOOL GRACE IS GREEDY LAZY AND UNGRATEFUL

How lucky are we that Dave met Dan Katz? He is so dumb none of this is possible without Big Cat

[@johnstrom5910]

Right. Since Barstool originally took an investment from Chernin and moved to NYC almost 10 years ago now, Dan Katz has made Barstool what it is today. Without Big Cat, Barstool would be 1/10th the company it is today. Portnoy may have started Barstool but Big Cat grew it to what it is today - Big Cat is Barstool.

Kirk, I live under a rock. But you are now my favourite human on the internet. Your character is brilliant. Thank you for holding these children accountable. Hilarious that you have to.

[@IngridMichaels-mw5ej]

I think the main reason as to why it's hard to have sympathy for Chickenfry is because she made a decision to put her entire personal life out on the internet for public consumption. I'm not super familiar with her but I do know that a lot of her content in the past had to do with messy relationships, cheating, partying, etc. People aren't perfect, and when you put EVERYTHING about yourself out there, sometimes the internet is going to turn on you. She traded her mental health and privacy for big money and internet drama. Obviously, she didn't deserve the Zach Bryan stuff. Launching yourself from internet celebrity into real-life celebrity can be dangerous, so hopefully it's a cautionary tale about how awful famous people can be. Also - never go into business with your close friends. That's guaranteed to blow up in your face.

It’s almost like she’s mad at grace bcuz she was right about Zach. I mean not for nothing, Brianna was dating arguably the hottest rock star at the moment, she was living her best life cutting off everyone who helped her get to where she is.
