I don't think it's a "work" but...

Seems like a very interesting place to work. But something's off?

​

But it seems exaggerated for the entertainment value. Barstool corporate offices seem like an awesome place to work** God bless Brandon Walker for navigating it successfully. I hope BFW gets big enough where he can work from home, with home being GTR.

Well that's another situation in which we best the Rebs. BFW is entertaining. That guy.... well no so much.

Best I can tell

Best I can tell, some dude named Alex Stein bruised Portnoy's ego a little and Mintz is friends with him (the Stein guy).

The video of Stein doing some kind of performance art gag at the Las Vegas city council is pretty good (although I'm sure the usual characters will say it's not funny because he holds the wrong views on something or another). Apparently Barstool retweeted it and then their parent company or Portnoy made them take it down because it's critical of gambling.

That’s pretty much the jest of it.

Also, apropos of nothing, Portnoy strikes me as the kind of guy who is trying to make up for being short and ugly by being rich. We'll see how that works out for him.

Big Cat, PFT & Brandon seem like genuine people who would be fun hangs.

This is a Portnoy patented schtick. He gives his employees hell, very publicly, for entertainment value. When you sign on with Barstool, you agree to to be the butt of his jokes.

And in Portnoy's defense, he does let him employees razz him back quite a bit too. I don't find it entertaining, but the twitter-world does.

That’s awesome. How does he keep a straight face?

He also rapped about vaccines to the Dallas City Council.



Looks like they blocked the video from being shared through embeds...

O come on. Mintzy is a good dude and can be extremely entertaining, even though he doesn't try to be.

It seems to have worked out for him pretty well so far. Most people who like Portnoy don't like him because he's a nice guy. They like him because he's a hard worker who has built a company from nothing into a company worth half a billion in 15 years. He has championed himself as the main talking head fighting back against PC and cancel culture, and people like that. I don't agree with everything (his stance on abortion), but who gives a damn.

He's an ******* to his employees from time to time, but ask any of them and they will tell you how much they respect the man as their boss. And how appreciative they are to have a job with him. His schtick is also funny.

From an outside perspective, Portnoy and Barstool seem like the male version of a Real Housewives show.

That's precisely what it is: celebrity gossip for dudes who desperately worry about what other people think about their sexual orientation.

no he's not. The only reason he exists at Barstool is to be the butt of jokes and be made fun of. He is freak show.

Its basically professional wrestling without wrestling.

Now that guy looks Old Miss. But ... "I saw people on Fremont Street taking the vaccine" hilarious.
