I’ve never written for Barstool on ADHD medication until now.
What the fuck have I been doing?
I need to find a doctor who’s willing to play ball immediately.
And one more thing about that… Hey Google… can we fucking relax a bit with this?….
Jesus Google I was literally just curious.
I’m 32 years old, I take my Vyvanse orally like an adult.
I’m just trying to do my job.
Ohio’s Tate, and the internet in general, has the Barstool New York office by the balls.
We’re in shambles.
He is dominating us right now.
To be fair, the shambles are not all because of him.
Tate was dealt a stacked hand and took advantage.
Barstool New York doesn’t have the best PR with the fans right now.
We ate a shit sandwich on Ohio’s Tate bread.
I’m not sure if that sandwich analogy fully makes sense but I think you get my point.
It’s been a rough week for New York and Ohio’s Tate has been a part of it.
Last Friday (1/26), Ohio’s Tate wrote a Kelly Keegs hit piece.
Probably not the best choice of words.
Later that day (1/26), Kelly wrote a response blog.
Which was followed by an Ohio’s Tate response to the response blog.
A lot of responses happened that day, attempt to keep up.
They didn’t address any of it.
They ignored the drama entirely.
Later Monday (1/29), Dave cancelled Barstool Radio all together.
He took his anger out on them Tuesday.
Everybody seemed to be on edge about something.
Wednesday through now (1/31 - TBD), our whole office remains shook.
It’s been a bad week.
I’m not really sure why I’m bothering to write this.
Ohio’s Tate’s blogs are crushing right now.
He’s doing huge numbers at the expense of his co-workers.
I don’t begrudge him for that.
He clearly writing things people want to read, and a lot of our fans agree with him.
Or at least the comment section does.
But I feel like the comment section/Reddit can be a decent representation of how die-hard Stoolies feel.
He’s going to celebrate when Chase Claypool gets cut.
First off, Ohio’s Tate, you’re being a coward.
Trust me, I’d want to do the same thing.
You gotta find a time that works.
That’s on her.
That was tough to watch.
If I’m wrong then prove me wrong and set it up.
But the beef between you and Kelly is whatever.
I feel like that’s old at this point.
Your Nate blog was kinda wild.
It was very good, and very well written.
I’ve been frustrated by a lot of the same stuff with him.
Not having a blog go up on time is infuriating.
But some of what you said was bullshit.
It’s just wrong.
Apologies to Reags, but if blog numbers were what’s most important Reags would be running the company.
You think you could make a moment like this happen?
I kinda doubt that.
Also, writing a Nate hit piece is weak.
That’s low hanging fruit and you know it.
Just regurgitate a few tropes from the comment section and it’s a home run with the Stoolies.
You did the same thing with Kelly.
Trust me, I know.
I do that all the time too.
It’s very fun, and it always.
I’m probably going to regret pointing that out, but it’s true.
Good hit piece, but that was like taking batting practice.
That’s something to lose.
Although in fairness to you, you’re absolutely right.
You have this massive shield protecting you that nobody will ever attempt to penetrate.
But that’s all I got.
They were great blogs.
You did your job very well this week.
But somebody had to point that stuff out, and it would sound bitter coming from them.
Keep up the good work, sir.
Pull my blog numbers if you must.
