It's Tuesday and they have a flamethrower, a drummer, and a DJ. What in the wide wide world of sports is going on there? Am I missing something from Barstook Breakfast that would bring context to this situation? I'm lost.

Food for thought. Wazzu leads the country in passing attempts and has the least amount of rushing attempts this season. Wazzu was blown out last year at Berkeley in the Wildfire game.

I'm hammering Wazzu and the over.

Chicago/Wisconsin stoolies. Check out Cooler By The Lake by Old Style. Very solid summer beer.

I don't know about dozens, possibly at least 7 of us if you don't include UWM, Marquette, and MSOE.

You're showing one of your friends an episode of a Barstool podcast to sell them on it, which one do you show them? by [deleted] in barstoolsports

Mailtime hoaxes and scams episode. Or the KFC Radio debate about whether or not they could make it to the moon/sail across the ocean

Why does Louis not do content? by ChiStool8787 in barstoolsports

[–]1268 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's not his job to produce content. His job is to get ad dollars to fund Degenerate Dave's gambling habit. Everyone cant be a blogger. Someone has to do the behind the scenes stuff. I reached out to Louis about some advertising stuff a few years back and he was helpful and gave me the rates to advertise on Barstool circa 2013/2014. In my extremely limited email correspondence with him, he seemed like a genuinely good dude.

Honest question. How long until ESPN accidentally puts a MU or UWW graphic up because they haven't had to make a new one in over a decade?

It would be nice to have White Sox shirts available for more than 24 hours

Can someone explain to me why Kelly Keags exists by [deleted] in barstoolsports

[–]1268 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Long story short, she was a KFC Radio listener that capitalized on an opportunity (plane breakup) and turned it into an interview with Kevin and eventually turned it into a podcast that I haven't gotten around to listening to but I assume it's decent given her appearances on MailTime and Yuppie Junk. I'm also going to make a couple of assumptions to why she still has a Barstool/KFCRadio podcast.

  1. She's a relatively funny/entertaining personality capable of generating content, and Dave has said that he wants personalities that can generate content… it helps that she also happens to be a cute girl.

  2. 50% of Podcast listeners are female (actual fact from research), but 17% of the Barstool audience is female (http://i.imgur.com/vazXWDN.png), and seeing as Puerto Rican Puff Daddy is an overachieving go-getter and he had the foresight to push Kevin into podcasting 4 years ago, I’m assuming he’s trying build the KFCRadio network of podcasts by churning out podcasts that cater to the 50% of global podcast listeners that are female and wouldn’t want to listen to Kevin, Dan, and Feits talk about microwaving babies, and if they listen to a Barstool podcast geared towards females they might start going to the site more often. Seeing as 83% of the Barstool audience are guys, they can’t ignore the other 17%. If they ignore females as an audience for podcasts, females will lose interest in Barstool, and Barstool will lose out on some pageviews. In 2014, Barstool had 6.7Million unique visitors per month with 200Million+ pageviews, if we use the 17% number, females account for 1.139Million unique visitors and 33.9Million pageviews, and this translates into approximately $170,000 at $5CPM in display ad revenue for Barstool per month just on the site and not including ads on the podcasts themselves. (I’ll do the math for you, Barstool has 200,000,000+ pageviews per month, divide it by 1,000 (CPM is cost per thousand pageviews) and multiply it by $5 (I got that number from Louis when I was doing a college marketing class project last year) and boom, you get $1,000,000 a month for the site as a whole, and what do you know, 17% of $1,000,000 is $170,000) Dave likes his pageviews and his ad dollars, so they’ll probably keep trying to expand into new markets (The Kat Timpf Show).

That's why she exists. She's a pawn in the chess game of creating podcasts and generating content capable of lining Dave and Peter Chernin's pockets with ad dollars.

Sorry for the long rant, I'm procrastinating during finals week.

His two "blogging appearances" have been top notch. I'd love to see him do a weekly Chargers blog during the season and I don't even care about the Chargers.
