It's not a coincidence that Bernstein decided to do this bullshit after his demotion.

He's nervous.

This demotion stunned and scared him. I don't know how long his contract goes, but he's clearly looking for other revenue streams in case the SCORE fires him once that contract is up.

He's made a lot of enemies in this city. ESPN 1000 would never hire him. WGN and WLS are the only other stations in Chicago where he can make big money as a talk show host. And they're not gonna hire him for general talk.

He's not pretty. So TV is out of the question. He writes, but not very well and writing doesn't pay what he's making now.

He's got a daughter a couple of years from college and a son not far behind. He probably is only half way from paying off his million dollar Chicago home and he just got back from an Italy family vacation that probably set him back 10 or 15k.

His old man has plenty of trial lawyer money. Split between him and his sister, he’ll be fine.

Father, will my inheritance be enough to pay off my mortgage and my kids college?

I'm not saying he's gonna be in poverty. Drinky is surviving in a much worse position. So Bernstein will manage. But he wants the nicer life style and the best advantages for his kids. That's what scares him. He thought he would have afternoons at the SCORE making his 400k for another 15 years. Now that's in jeopardy in his mind.

Good catch.


To whom are they marketing, then? All the big-wigs that listen to Dan's show? This is a place that caters to "athlete[s] and influencer[s]", not "Hey have your niece pay for you to drunkenly record her birthday wish from the Bears game".

Dan's trolling for show content in a completely unexpected ploy to reinvent himself, or he's trying to make extra cash AS THE LONGEST-TENURED SPORTS TALK TALENT IN THE CITY WHY THE FUCK WOULD HE BE TAKING MONEY FOR THIS OTHERWISE?!?!?! (Especially because with a litigator in his immediate family, he should—and obviously does, given his Cheeseburger Cameo—the acting as a paid spokesperson opens said spokesperson up to certain legal liabilities)

The customers are those people who would pay 20 dollars for a birthday wish from a minor celebrity.

Did you even go to the site? How do they make money?

No, Dan's not gonna get shitcanned and resort to wishing Tim Baffoe a happy birthday to provide for his family. Probably someone told him about it and he realized he knew enough suckers to buy The Damn Kid a new set of goalie pads.

Agreed.


Except gig stuff like this has existed for years. Dan jumps on the bandwagon now because....why, then? Did the midday demotion come with a salary cut?

Wouldn't shock me if it's a potential sponsor.


Of course it is. Bernstein isn't going to hustle for a living. Even if he got completely shitcanned from media, he knows enough people to get a gig doing something for a decent amount of money.


inheritance ain't that far off either

If I were him, I'd except every crazy request (maybe not Beardown's "I hate black people"). What's the big deal? I got your money, sucker!

He always wanted to be a lawyer or doctor. You don't choose your clients.

Is his dad a big deal? I have only heard that he is a lawyer and his family is from Omaha I think not that he is some uber connected multi-millionaire.

The guy probably went on spring break college tours and choked on the sticker price.

You will soon find Good Dolphin's Apple Cart opening on weekends in various street corners around the city.

vids cost $20 so the personality is taking home $10-$12 bucks.

lop off for taxes and he's taking home $7-$9 bucks a vid.

easy money unless you keep declining everything except requests from Bill from Capitol Hill and Jalen from Rosemont.

I saw the stills on his page. Why would he shoot the videos from that angle? Shooting up towards his face like that is about the least flattering angle possible.

Shobiz shelly charges $2 more than kapman....

Wow, there was a time I thought Bernsie could go national and now he is reading videos to strangers.

The Howard Stern approach I guess did not work out on telling his listeners to not listen or turn the channel. They did and now he is doing this.

His most recent one is telling a guy that Joe Paterno facilitated child rape. And scolded the guy for not believing it.

I'd be curious (no pun intended) to know if Bernsie has enough of a sense of humor about himself to do this one.
