But the cost was things slipping through the cracks on the manager side: lawsuits, safeguarding the brand, minimizing exposure to the controversies that advertisers bail over. This was all my responsibility, so once again I had to re-align my focus, and the resulting changes are what laid the groundwork for the most current version of my job: much more than "looking at blogs and posting them" like some people seem to think.
It was keeping an up to date list of all current advertisers and potential advertisers and making sure nobody shit on them in a blog. It was meetings…so many meetings. And interviews of job candidates for roles I didn't know existed. It was being personally responsible for all pieces of content that hit the site every single day - 2, a month, 26, a year.
And of course it was using my own personal judgement based on my best guess of what Dave wanted on the site for each one, not crossing the line but not playing it too safe and being a pussy.
Basically keeping the site "old Barstool" but a safe old Barstool that perfectly toed an invisible line at the same time. For 2 of the years we didn't employ a data guy - I taught myself Google Analytics through online tutorials, learned Parsely and Firebase and Looker as well, and did the weekly reports myself. After a mishap involving Rihanna and her physical appearance, we didn't have a social manager for the blog - I took over Facebook and Twitter social posting, a full time job, as part of my own for at least a year.
And aside from Hubbs, who I was finally able to hire as an intern, it was my job alone at all times. As Barstool grew, I became a point person, an overseer, a manager; no longer a blogger.
Of course, I wanted the opportunity to do all of this. I accepted the title with full confidence. I never wavered in my thoughts that I would continue to make this website as great as it is. I mean none of this was "reluctantly", I fucking loved it. I never complained because I had no complaints. I didn't mind getting yelled at because I never wanted to seem like I was different or above anyone else. I loved the responsibility and could not give less of a shit what other people thought I was doing or not doing on a daily basis — as long as Dave and Erika knew, I literally could not give less of a shit what anyone else thought.
Somewhere over the course of this year, the last part got lost in the mix. It's an election year, Barstool is even more of a lightning rod for controversy, and we are under a microscope more than we've ever been before. What would've been "fine" on the blog 3 years ago is completely different than what would be "fine" now, especially in Dave's eyes. Get real. Tough call between this and Get Out, but Dunkirk gets the nod in my top 5.
I really, really wish I knew more about the real life battle before heading into it so I could fully appreciate all of it. But from what was shown on the screen, the whole depiction was perfectly done. The land, sea and air segments were all perfectly shot and edited together and flowed seamlessly. Christopher Nolan is the fucking man and proved it once again.
And I will give full due props to Harry Styles. He acted the shit out of this. So I fired it up. And it was great! I find myself thinking about this movie a lot and wanting to watch it again.
I honestly think the title and the cover art did it a huge disservice. I would never ever consider that movie based on looks alone. I would literally judge a movie by its cover. I watched this right after Shot Caller. Since that same movie was awesome, that was a good thing!
Listen I can be a big contrarian. I thought Get Out was awesome. I mean it was just a really, really good movie. A really deep, important metaphor packaged in a horror comedy. You know how hard that shit is to do?
But I bet very hard! Also I love you Allison Williams. Definitely not the character you portray in this particular movie, but in general. Everything is idiosynchratic right down to the dialogue. But the plot is this — a kid puts a curse on a doctor where each member of his family will slowly die of an unknown illness unless he makes the choice to kill one of them.
Pretty badass right. Normally that sounds like a nightmare. Ole Twilight face ass. But I highly recommend. I get it. I get Mother! I get the exact story it is telling. Boy did I hate It. Come on with this It love. People really think that was a good movie?
I get the nostalgia factor but this shit was so lame. Just a straight up conventional horror movie with a huge name brand attached. And are we pretending those kid actors were anything better than mediocre?
Stranger Things crew wiped the floor with them. Yooooooo this is where I stunt on everybody. This is a film you see in the cinema. You leave your scarf on. You know what happens in this movie? Casey Affleck dies and becomes a motherfucking ghost walking around in a motherfucking white sheet. I thought it was so good. I am a cultured, thoughtful motherfucker and I loved A Ghost Story. Man I was so pumped for this movie. Whatever this is classified is, I like these movies. Where you deal with the jump scares and stuff but at its heart it has a super interesting plot and interesting themes.
Also it was starring Joel Edgerton who might sneaky be my favorite actor and was the star of one of my top 10 movies of all time, Warrior. But this just fell so flat to me. So, so flat. I hated it.
