Congrats to these guys. They spent the last several years blogging and doing their podcast as a side gig. Their work has reached the point where they could quit their jobs and become a full time Barstool outlet for Chicago.

If you haven't subscribed to Red Line Radio, I suggest you start listening to it as well.

I can't say I really paid attention, I thought BarstoolBigCat was in charge of the Chicago chapter.

You mean they actually did the work building a brand and slogged their way into success? I thought you just sit and whine on twitter all day about your lack of opportunities and demand a seat at the table based on your gender or race . Interesting .

He has been in NY for almost 3 years now so he hasn't been able to take on a local focus with his work. He has said on multiple occasions that his ultimate plan would be to return to Chicago permanently so this may be a piece of that.

I know, right? What a weird concept of having a goal and then working your ass off towards it. Such a foreign concept for some.

Nice

On a side note, I have the impression that Barstool is millennial, trashy, shock-style media. Is that right?

Maybe that's what they were 5 years ago. Today, I'd say they are probably what sports radio/media was before it got sanitized by the Dan Bernstein's of the world.

It's the closest thing you will get to The Score of the 1990s

Pretty much, but they're remarkably self-aware about it. Portnoy would be writing "The Pizza Idiot Tries Pizza Like An Idiot For Some Idiot Blog" for Deadspin in an alternate universe.

The true voice of the fan.

Take a look at Barstool Carl's rant as he exited Soldier Field. That used to be what you could get on 670 (minus the vulgarity).

I thought that was kinda lame actually. Came off as phony and just wanting to make a viral video after a big game.

Yeah, it seemed like a self-conscious performance of "authenticity"--and an unimaginative one at that. Far below the level of the Score during its "star caller" halcyon days.

I, for one, won't consume any media that doesn't spend multiple segments discussing the NBA GM Survey, where every answer is "LeBron".

Honestly how much longer are the score and ESPN going to be on the radio? 5, if they're lucky 10 years? Podcast and Barstool going to keep getting more popular. Eventually teams are going to stream their own content and not need the radio. And the whole dumping of swear words on the radio is so fucking stupid

The answer is for however as long as today's population of Age 55+ individuals can be relied upon as a driving demographic. I'm 24 and virtually all of my friends who consumer sports audio content do so exclusively from podcasts like Pardon my Take, Barstool Radio, Cowherd (surprisingly to me) and Bill Simmons and crew. While I still consume the Score and 1000, I now only do so through podcasts so I can skip ads and guests/topics that I don't care about. To me and I think people similar to me, the idea of settling for a show/topic that isn't exactly what I'm looking for, and putting up with commercials, is something that one would only do if they don't know any better (which isn't a sustainable business model).
