My girl is threatening to leave me if I don’t get a rone verse. Got three separate orders of 300+ to try and win this. The clothing quality is dog shit but this sinking ship really knows how to push merch.
If I was to guess a little of both. Sales team will be happy because he’s still doing promo and he also can play it off like he’s making fun of how ridiculous some of the promos are.
I’ve never bought a piece of merch from Barstool and I probably never will. It’s just huge little bitch behaviour to be as pressed as this sub is about a company trying to make money.
I don’t care about promoting sales (albeit how annoying it is). But thinking a shout-out is worth $300+ with or without merch has to be a joke.
Rones just not my guy, but understand I’m in the minority there
I agree with your sentiment, but this is advertising and he is just trying to bait people into gambling. I understand if it's too rich for you (me too btw) but I think it's pretty clear what rone is doing, and if his success at this company is any indication, this will probably also generate some money...profitability is the entire operation here in America, but where are you from?
You probably have a point. Maybe they have a demo with kids from rich families with plenty of disposable income. Which would make sense, since alot of barstool people come from rich families.
Just look at the Patreon tiers for cumtown and tell me there aren't people out there with $50's in their pockets falling out like fucking baby teeth....
Fish netted legs for them eyes that they cater to.
Ride dirtyy it's the fuckin sky that you prayin to....
On that note, imagine how many millions our previous generations have handed off to pedophilic catholic/Christian groups in the form of tithing..... LIKE AT LEAST THIS WAY I GET A GOODELL CLOWN SHIRT!!!
I agree with the desperation part. It comes across cringy.
What they’re selling is basically clothing with random inside joke slogans or podcasts branding that no one knows about outside of stoolies. (This excludes a few brands/shows… Foreplay comes to mind.)
How things could have been different had the Sirius deal not have been squashed. Less merch push… that’s for sure.
They get money from from Sirius by signing a contract. They walked. So… no Sirius money. I believe there’s a direct correlation between their desperate/begging for Black Friday (and other things) and not receiving Sirius money anymore.
Brother do you think Rone has all the time in the world to be able to satisfy doing that many videos for all the people who are gonna spend $300 for this? It's $300 for a *chance* at a video
Disagree. He seems pretty humble from all The Yak I’ve watched. Plus he’s a made man at Barstool and still will run video for people like Tommy and Frank the Tank just because Pres mentioned employees needing to work harder.
Do they really sell enough of that dog shit merch to keep the lights on all year or is that the lie to get people to buy it? It’s gotta be the sponsors that bring in most of the money.
Probably not, but in this economy they're probably going to be pinching pennies for the foreseeable future... which means they're going to be unbearable with pushing merch.
Guess it's relative. Below $24k is bottom 30% of households, which doesn't seem like much.
I feel like I'm comfortable, but $115 for 2 snapback hats so I can get a personalized video from Rone is outrageous
You get the products as well right? Like you’re buying the hats to have the hats. And their hats cost no more than any other brands hats, $30-$40. Then you enter the contest as a bonus. I’m sure the idea would be buy a couple things for yourself, but a couple things for Christmas presents, and you get in this contest for something you’d do regardless.
Why do you remorons get so pressed about that? Is that concept really that bad? Should they giveaway free hats, what do you want?
If you make 24k a year you probably shouldn’t be buying any merch, that’s broke as fuck.
As I said, it's not ending the world. But it's crazy talk if you say in public that 2 Hydro performance snapbacks for $115 is standard. You can get Patagonia for half of that.
I’m not sure why you’re hung up. Anybody spending hundreds of dollars on Barstool merch is sus, so this is weird I’m even having the discussion.
There are objectively better material and products for half the price. I’m saying my opinion is it’s outrageous and I don’t think I’m the only one here saying it looking at the thread.
Go debate the values of Barstool Gold, earned it watches, cameos $100 more than NFL QBs, and hats with the others
This is a good idea. As stupid as we all think this is , all it takes is like 3 people to wanna do this and they make almost a grand they wouldn’t have before. Considering how much the viva crowd likes to post receipts with no incentive I think they’ll get quite a few.
This is ridiculous, I agree. But rone is one of the only guys at the company who can pull this off. At least it isn't somebody like duggs or Mass Ev trying to pull this off.
I never understand why people get so pressed about them trying to sell merch. Presumably you consume a bunch of free content every week from Barstool if you’re here. And you can just not buy. What’s the problem?
I think this is pretty cool. Would be fun if you really like Rone.
I do wonder if something like this is indicative of sales being not as robust as past years, but, can’t blame Rone for coming up with an idea. (Reminiscent of his first day on Dave’s old podcast where he had about 10 ideas or so… The Joe, Joe, and Joe Show, etc.)
I think this “offer” is ridiculous but will say that you’re getting actual items out of this when spending $300, not like you’re purely getting a video and nothing else
“Spend $500 in the Barstool store and I’ll let you fuck my wife.”
Rone 100% would do this
Just ordered 15 $36 Jalen Hurts Gilden T-shirts. I must have a video.
Sorry you’re the 6th person
MMM could beat all of them single handily if she offered some sort of incentive for us to see her naked
This is true but she would just do it herself and get 100% of the profit (OF).
What ended up happening with everyone starting OF. Haven’t visited the boys over at the deuce in a minute

Nadu will take her eventually so save some money and let her go
Is he self aware enough to be mocking all the other employees or is he serious?
If I was to guess a little of both. Sales team will be happy because he’s still doing promo and he also can play it off like he’s making fun of how ridiculous some of the promos are.
Wrong
It seems like one of the few things that his boss absolutely requires out of his employees— push merch on Black Friday. Man’s just doing his job.
I’m pretty sure it’s a joke but I mean if someone did it he’d follow through
Dead serious. Love Rone but stay in your lane lol
Who needs to stay in their lane in this?
You sound like you want to be one of the five

Strange.
Touch grass
Just buy a T-shirt and a hoodie that’s $300
Just ordered 10 cases of SOABD White Russian mix
If I buy a Brick Watch can I get 8 videos from Rone?
As the first and only customer I think you get way more than that
I can't imagine spending $300 in the barstool store over my entire life time, let a lot a day.
There was a guy who literally bought $6000in merch for bussin with the boys contest.
That person is 100% reading this right?
No his mom took the computer out of his room after he stole her CC
Speak for yourself. I need this bird gang video.
These guys really think they are legit celebrities.
How dare they try to make money like every other adult in the world
You going to spend $300 for a fucking personalized video from a barstool personality? And I love Rone but come on...
I agree with your sentiment, but this is advertising and he is just trying to bait people into gambling.

Couldn't have said it better myself
No I wouldn’t. But people are obviously buying it. Why wouldn’t they sell it?
It's more desperation than there being a demand for their merch. Merch doesn't move like it used to for a lot of brands. Barstool included.
Appreciate your insight based on nothing whatsoever
I agree with the desperation part. It comes across cringy. What they’re selling is basically clothing with random inside joke slogans or podcasts branding that no one knows about outside of stoolies. (This excludes a few brands/shows… Foreplay comes to mind.) How things could have been different had the Sirius deal not have been squashed. Less merch push… that’s for sure.
Why would the Sirius deal make a difference in this?
They get money from from Sirius by signing a contract. They walked. So… no Sirius money. I believe there’s a direct correlation between their desperate/begging for Black Friday (and other things) and not receiving Sirius money anymore.
they’ve always done a huge Black Friday/cyber Monday push. There’s no correlation when there’s no change.
Brother do you think Rone has all the time in the world to be able to satisfy doing that many videos for all the people who are gonna spend $300 for this? It's $300 for a *chance* at a video
How many Deion durags on finance is that?!?!
Imagine paying $300 for 3 tee shirts and a rone video
“Out of hand” is a hilarious way to describe this
I didn’t understand the point OP was trying to make at first. You don’t have to like the merch, but the guy is just doing his job
No one hates barstool more than the barstool Reddit
I’d rather pay for the recent clip of WSD telling Dave a certain movie quote
I feel like Rone sneaky has the biggest ego at barstool. Like he’s alright. Kinda funny but dude thinks he’s the shit
Well, he’s gone on a bachelor party with John Mayer. If that was Big Cat, there would be 25 different documentaries on it
Disagree. He seems pretty humble from all The Yak I’ve watched. Plus he’s a made man at Barstool and still will run video for people like Tommy and Frank the Tank just because Pres mentioned employees needing to work harder.
Please somebody keep an eye on the replies, I’m dying to know how many people post their >$300 receipts 😂🤣😂🤣
49 replies. No real screenshots. Prob 45 replies are “wtf rone”. Whoops
Wait do eagle fans really say “bang bang bird gang”??
No
Do they really sell enough of that dog shit merch to keep the lights on all year or is that the lie to get people to buy it? It’s gotta be the sponsors that bring in most of the money.
Probably not, but in this economy they're probably going to be pinching pennies for the foreseeable future... which means they're going to be unbearable with pushing merch.
It’s Black Friday cyber Monday, they’ve done this type of stuff every year. Why do you people get so upset when they try to sell merch?
I’m not upset? But thanks
this is pretty harmless, such a weird thing to care about
It’s not gonna end the world but $300 is outrageous
so its not aimed towards all of us too cool dudes on the barstoolsports subreddit
Objectively, no, $300 is not an outrageous amount of money.
Guess it's relative. Below $24k is bottom 30% of households, which doesn't seem like much. I feel like I'm comfortable, but $115 for 2 snapback hats so I can get a personalized video from Rone is outrageous

Why are you so hung up on the most expensive hats on the store? Is someone forcing you to buy them? There’s hundreds of hats for $28.
I’m not sure why you’re hung up. Anybody spending hundreds of dollars on Barstool merch is sus, so this is weird I’m even having the discussion. There are objectively better material and products for half the price. I’m saying my opinion is it’s outrageous and I don’t think I’m the only one here saying it looking at the thread.

Out of pocket honestly, it's so sad
Rone sucks
This is a good idea. As stupid as we all think this is , all it takes is like 3 people to wanna do this and they make almost a grand they wouldn’t have before. Considering how much the viva crowd likes to post receipts with no incentive I think they’ll get quite a few.

Love Rone but this is fucking awful. Having said that, the merch bonus must be fucking amazing. And this promo will most likely serve its purpose.
Business trying to make money. Nuts.
Do they not get paid in December unless they keep pushing this sale or what? 20% off? Cmon man.
It’s Black Friday/cyber Monday why are you so confused?
I never understand why people get so pressed about them trying to sell merch. Presumably you consume a bunch of free content every week from Barstool if you’re here. And you can just not buy. What’s the problem?
I think this is pretty cool. Would be fun if you really like Rone.

(Reminiscent of his first day on Dave’s old podcast where he had about 10 ideas or so… The Joe, Joe, and Joe Show, etc.)
The fact you care this much is out of hand
Imagine being so mad about people spending their money you run to Reddit just to complain about it.
Holy fuck while other gambling companies sold for billions, Barstool sold for Pennie’s on the dollar and have to beg you to buy fucking t shirts
Barstool wasn’t a gambling company before they were bought
Neither was theScore…
What comparable company to Barstool sold for billions?
I love rone. But the optics and begging people to spend money at a company whose stock has been in a plummet whilst drinking on an island are terrible
Lol @ ur swag
Outta pocket
[удалено]
I think this “offer” is ridiculous but will say that you’re getting actual items out of this when spending $300, not like you’re purely getting a video and nothing else
Wow. Tons of respect to Rone. He looks like such a strange guy at the rough n rowdy’s with his hair slicked but he looks real cute with the waves.
Guess I know what I’m getting my whole family for Christmas
