Our Editor's Take

The Unnamed Show podcast addresses integral moments in Barstool Sports' history. Cohosts Dave Portnoy Kirk Minihane and Ryan Whitney discuss essential sports news. Dave is the founder of Barstool Sports. Kirk and Ryan hosts other podcasts as well as this one. This show's original title was The Dave Portnoy Show with Eddie & Co. Eddie departed and Kirk and Ryan joined Dave for the renamed iteration in February 2024.

Barstool Sports evolved from a free publication to a multimillion-dollar digital media company. It didn't happen without incident. The podcast cohosts talk about each success accolade controversy and fallacy without hesitation. Their guests include athletes and colleagues like Steven Cheah.

The Unnamed Show reveals how the hosts felt about Ryan's cartoon bear post. Ryan called it a "throwaway" tweet about the Boston Bruins beating the Toronto Maple Leafs. The internet reacted. Ryan explains why he didn't delete it. The former NHL player also cohosts the hockey podcast Spittin' Chiclets.

In another episode the hosts debate the name Ryan and the name his wife gave their son. Dave likes it but calls it a "try-hard" name. Ryan has a great response regarding Dave's name. Dave doesn't want kids but says he sometimes imagines himself in a bar betting on horses at age 75 paying someone to feed him mushed salad. That image is the only thing that makes him consider parenthood. His disinterest doesn't deter kids. Dave travels the country to taste pizza and rank them. He finds young fans everywhere.

The hosts have a decided interest in the New England Patriots. Kirk often analyzes the team on The Kirk Minihane Show. The Unnamed Show Podcast reviews Tom Brady's Netflix roast. Listeners learn which jokes Nikki Glaser omitted and why. Dave speculates that Kim Kardashian kept him off the guest list. The cohosts say the roast involved two years of planning and 25 writers. They opine on whether jokes about Gisele Bündchen and Robert Kraft were appropriate.

Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick are the topics of multiple episodes. The Kelce brothers' careers Jontay Porter's NBA ban and other sports topics are ample. Fans may enjoy these discussions on The Unnamed Show but the hosts are the stars here.
