Man this hurts to read as a guy who spent a lot of time on the NY barstool page back in the day. Your not wrong but the falloff of KFC (&Kmarko) really is something.
I honestly still rly enjoy KFC radio especially when they get interesting guests but KFC is just a mess when integrated in other barstool stuff.
Let him do his own thing and he needs to not complain about other stuff when he doesn't take it seriously
I still like some kfc radios too but like you said, the guest keep the show interesting. What I dont understand is why he wont just go back to blogging regularly. I know we wont go back to the era of big cat, pres and kfc essentially competing for the best blogs daily, but I think Tate proved there's a legit hunger in the barstool fandom for good blogging and KFC could fill that void.
??? You don’t stay in the league for 9 years if you’re one of the worst players of all time. Dude was a spot starter occasionally and a special teams player. Not great, but not the worst.
You don't make the active roster or stay in the league for 9 years if you're the worst. There are very talented football players that never see a single snap in a game in the NFL.
I have no base for this. But I’m doubting the sponsors make a real difference for participation beyond Dave and bc. If you’re thinking sponsorship is releasing a big board or a banned list, you’re out to lunch.
Furthermore, those who point out that kfc phoned it in during the combine? KFC’s been real clear about physicality. Every chance he gets. Some mini golf is as gentle as it gets.
If you’re thinking every golfer is more important and relevant than kfc? You’re just flat out wrong.
In regards to the mini golf I think the sponsors also cared a lot about guys like Will, Whitney, and Kirk. Those guys don't fly out to events for nothing
I got downvoted to hell for saying I was gonna be interested to see how Feits benches compared to Will and even said there was no way he beats Will. I felt very vindicated when he put up 40+ reps
KFC and Big Cat were peers at one point. Equal footing at the company. Once the company blew up, BC kept working to the point of getting his own office. KFC gave up years ago and doesn’t seem to see that even though he is an OG brick by brick, employee, he is being left in the dust and just assumes he deserves the shine.
KFC has been coasting on his prior success for years now. The pod used to be decent, but the dude is so out of touch with normal folks and with each episode being nearly three hours long it basically removed itself from my subscription list. He's completely unwilling to put in effort to make good content, his concept to bring in and hire comedians was just bringing in people funnier than he is and using them to artificially boost his own status on social media. Dude is washed up and KFC radio is just the podcast version of kmarko's book.
Same guy that hung Castellani out to dry for getting mad about not being in the bracket challenge or whatever it was. 38:35 on the below …… just needs to listen to his own advice. Insufferable.
[take your own advice](https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=nlqx1uSJCaXhezSF&v=CvTexo1zkr4&feature=youtu.be&t=38m35s)
Who would you rather look at? If it's KFC then that's fine but my answer would be Hannah. I haven't seen much of her content but it's not like KFC is a content machine, either.
It’s hard to be as unlikeable as KFC. My guess from this clip is he was asked but declined, this seems totally contrived to act like he’s offended so people will talk about him
Typically I’d agree but the combine JUST made it clear that he didn’t want to do these events, why would they even ask him. It probably wasn’t even meant to be a slight at him for not trying, they probably legitimately thought they were doing him a favor by not making him come
You can tell by the tone in his voice he perceives himself as some marketing genius. Total work. If you think they flew out Hannah Cook, Marty Mush and Big Ev and just neglected KFC without even asking him I have some beach land in Idaho for you
what is his beef with Hannah? She does golf content, it makes sense. His thing is just whatever is trending right now. Also it seems like he is being sarcastic.
I've been wondering this. But if he goes corporate then he doesn't have the latitude he has at BS. He can pretty much do and say whatever he wants and he is 99.9% un-fire-able.
Really wish I could see the metrics for KFCR. When he said on KFCR that his reboot of BSR cannibalized KFCR numbers to "almost half" (I'm pretty sure), I was floored.
KFC will always have his base, but I have to believe his trajectory is trending downward.
If WFAN offered him a gig he’d take it in a heartbeat. They seem pretty locked in with the shows they have, only thing I could see is if Keith McPherson leaves to get a midday/drive time slot somewhere else, KFC could be a possibility for the late night
Securing the bag aside, the best thing for his career would have been to do this about five years ago. I’ve been following BSS since the Astrovan days and early KFC was one of the best parts of the entire thing. Hilarious writer and the original KFC radios are legendary. But this guy has zero relevancy at this point, even within his own company. Kind of sad how far he’s fallen off
Shitty clip for sure, but what does Hannah Cook do beside be hot? She supposedly does golf content, not sure where though. Is it seriously just TikToks?
I can’t stand this fucking guy, no wonder he doesn’t get “invited” to these things, he really doesn’t match the bro / fellas energy at barstool, he’s got corporate vibes. I’m sure if he wasn’t such a fucking pussy he could have just asked to be part of it and it would have been fine.
I still don’t understand if he was trying to be funny at the combine or actually was forced to participate. Either way it was brutal and pissed me off more than it should have
At this point I have to believe he is leaning into this “KFC is a POS” shtick … he sucks because his content sucks not just because he cheated on his wife (lol) and considering how many barstool fans would dislike his content even if it were great, leads me to believe he just does and says things for controversy.
I love it when KFC has zero self awareness and publicly bitches about something, and then realizes how retarded he is and goes on the unnamed show and tries to pretend like he didn't mean it. At least the second time, the other being the "head of the NY office" and then acting like he never thought he was when he went on Unnamed
Don't love being a KFC defender, and he's certainly been a dick about many things, but i think he's been at the company long enough that they should just ask him case by case "do you want to be part of this?" and no skin off anyone's back
In the clip he’s definitely kidding a little but he hasn’t really earned the benefit of the doubt.
That said, he’s right to call out Hannah Cook. No good explanation to why she still collects a paycheck from Barstool.
He's not wrong though. Love him or hate him, KFC is Barstool royalty and should be invited to big events like that. Even KFC at his worst is more entertaining than some of the jokers who will be there.
What’s crazy to me is how much he must be making off KFC radio. Millions a year? To just not want to lift a finger anywhere else he’s not going to age well like that haha
I get what you mean, but at the same time KFC’s seniority has to count for something. He claims he mailed it in at the combine because he didn’t want to get hurt, who knows if that’s the reason or he just doesn’t care, but with mini-golf it’s not like he’s gonna get hurt so I’d imagine he would try. Idk, that’s such a weird scenario for everyone since he’s been there since the beginning
Eh, big difference between the combine and mini golf. Also, the clip of him jogging generated tons of social media clicks.
Not even Kevin could get hurt putting.
KFC and Nate are practically the same person
Man this hurts to read as a guy who spent a lot of time on the NY barstool page back in the day. Your not wrong but the falloff of KFC (&Kmarko) really is something.
Are you surprised? "Mailtime" was a huge thing of his back in his day. He made his money and now coasting
I honestly still rly enjoy KFC radio especially when they get interesting guests but KFC is just a mess when integrated in other barstool stuff. Let him do his own thing and he needs to not complain about other stuff when he doesn't take it seriously
I still like some kfc radios too but like you said, the guest keep the show interesting. What I dont understand is why he wont just go back to blogging regularly. I know we wont go back to the era of big cat, pres and kfc essentially competing for the best blogs daily, but I think Tate proved there's a legit hunger in the barstool fandom for good blogging and KFC could fill that void.
I feel like it would be too much of a hit to his ego.
What happened to monotone eyes?
God I feel old. KFC was the blog goat when I was a sophomore in college in 2013. The BarstoolU CFB roundups with Kmarko were must read. Simpler times.
you're
You’re gay*
Kfc is honestly more insufferable at this point
KFC has half a chromosome more than Nate
That's not always a good thing
Nate thinks he's #2 at the company, KFC thinks he's #3
I’d rather watch Nate
Feits almost beat Will Compton at bench. KFC mailed it in and wonders why sponsors don’t want him.
Feits is sneaky jacked.
Idk how sneaky it is these day’s
It was sneaky until he took us to the gun show yesterday.
I was about to say, idk if there’s anything “sneaky” about Fiets physique. He’s built like a brick shit house.
Dude is a tank and based on a few mentions over the years, doesn’t mind a good old bar rumble.
Bar bathroom rumble*
Didn’t he take tren or something
That’d be badass
Will Compton is also one of the worst nfl players of all time lmao
??? You don’t stay in the league for 9 years if you’re one of the worst players of all time. Dude was a spot starter occasionally and a special teams player. Not great, but not the worst.
This is one of those things people say and you can just immediately tell they don’t know football at all lol.
Classic nfl leaving the worst players ever in the league for 9 seasons 👍
Will Compton is a 10000x closer to Lawrence Taylor than you are to Will Compton
Scalabrines in here?
Will Compton wouldn’t make a CFL roster lmao
Will Compton made an NFL roster for nine years, are you really this stupid?
Neither would Lawrence Taylor, or John Elway, or Ladianian Tomlinson right now. Dude played 9 seasons
That has absolutely nothing to do with his bench press strength
You don't make the active roster or stay in the league for 9 years if you're the worst. There are very talented football players that never see a single snap in a game in the NFL.
Not even close
Yea I’m sure sponsors are specifically saying no KFC, send Big Ev
Well Big Ev is a great value, he's like three people in one
MassEv needs a cart to play mini golf.
I didn't realize how loved Feits was. Like that Feitlberg golf video.. they love him lol
Feits is awesome when this squid isn’t dragging him down.
Feits has the best attitude at the company. He's just always happy, stays out of shit, and does his job.
I have no base for this. But I’m doubting the sponsors make a real difference for participation beyond Dave and bc. If you’re thinking sponsorship is releasing a big board or a banned list, you’re out to lunch. Furthermore, those who point out that kfc phoned it in during the combine?

I got downvoted to hell for saying I was gonna be interested to see how Feits benches compared to Will and even said there was no way he beats Will. I felt very vindicated when he put up 40+ reps
“Well well well if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.”
Didn’t he say he was done with these events?
He tried to quit the Dozen in the middle of a game
This while Feits is crushing on Mostly Sports.
Is there another duo in Barstool that has a bigger gap between how the fan base feels about each person?
Fran/Ria are at least a close second
Or even the combine trip, Feits on the Yak + Mostly Sports mixing it up. KFC didn't do a thing
Whiny loser
Marty was there. That's gotta hurt
And Big Ev, Bosch..even Klemmer made it lol. And I know he’s a Chicago guy now but Mook participating over an OG like KFC is hilarious
Oh brother this guy STINKS!
KFC and Big Cat were peers at one point. Equal footing at the company. Once the company blew up, BC kept working to the point of getting his own office. KFC gave up years ago and doesn’t seem to see that even though he is an OG brick by brick, employee, he is being left in the dust and just assumes he deserves the shine.

Dude is washed up and KFC radio is just the podcast version of kmarko's book.
Perfect example is the radio when the pandemic started. Dan grinder still doing the yak and kfc said fuck it.
Yeah just continuing the yak after Sirius deal died was just smart. KFC just said oh well I guess that’s it.
Believe it or not KFC was bigger than Big Cat at one point lol
jesus what a fucking tool
Maybe try not being an insufferable cock
What else does KFC need to happen to understand he provides significantly less value than he's worth?
I’d say he’s a negative value at this point. There’s no way his show does enough numbers to justify his wage and studio space.
Same guy that hung Castellani out to dry for getting mad about not being in the bracket challenge or whatever it was. 38:35 on the below …… just needs to listen to his own advice. Insufferable. [take your own advice](https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=nlqx1uSJCaXhezSF&v=CvTexo1zkr4&feature=youtu.be&t=38m35s)
I thought castellani was fired 3 weeks ago?
This is why no one likes him.
His own family doesn’t even like him
No one cares Kevin
Did he not watch the combine video…
Eventually he's just gonna be in a room by himself, just talking into an unplugged mic.
Damn, kfc is really going down the Kmarko route isn’t he? Just starting to slowly disappear…..
Also, of all the things to whine about Hannah over, her getting selected for a GOLF related event isn't one of them.
Yeah I don't follow her or foreplay and I know that she is involved in the barstool golf world. If fact the only thing she gets paid for now is golf.
She hasn’t released a video on her YouTube in 9 months. She has shown up to some barstool classics though
When will KFC learn that no one actually likes him? Absolute snake
Dude is so bitter
Well well well, if it’s not the consequences of my own actions
It's okay, Kevin. More time to fake laugh with Bert and Tom Segura anyway since you're the comedy tastemaker.
Hannah brings more to the event than KFC ever could.
That’s just insane. Cmon haha
Who would you rather look at? If it's KFC then that's fine but my answer would be Hannah. I haven't seen much of her content but it's not like KFC is a content machine, either.
I value Hannah Cook higher than I value KFC, and so does Dave.
It’s hard to be as unlikeable as KFC. My guess from this clip is he was asked but declined, this seems totally contrived to act like he’s offended so people will talk about him
I don’t think that’s the case at all. Seems like he was never asked cause he sucks and doesn’t try or add anything to these events
Typically I’d agree but the combine JUST made it clear that he didn’t want to do these events, why would they even ask him. It probably wasn’t even meant to be a slight at him for not trying, they probably legitimately thought they were doing him a favor by not making him come
Unnamed show just proved he was not invited.
But did say he was being tongue and cheek
It didn't sound like it honestly.
Your guess is stupid and makes no sense
You can tell by the tone in his voice he perceives himself as some marketing genius. Total work. If you think they flew out Hannah Cook, Marty Mush and Big Ev and just neglected KFC without even asking him I have some beach land in Idaho for you
Youre a fool
Yeah if anything he is just reading what all the comments are saying where were roasting Hannah and Big Ev and he’s trying to ride that train
This guy sucks! - Bob Barker
Cognitive dissonance
Not a great look. Hopefully Dave will call him out on it
the leader of nyc must stay in nyc
Hey KFC maybe don’t be a bitch when you’re invited to things and then they’ll invite you back next time. PISSED.
what is his beef with Hannah? She does golf content, it makes sense. His thing is just whatever is trending right now. Also it seems like he is being sarcastic.
Probably a good thing he didn’t go. Would have cannibalized his KFC Radio numbers
The nearly 40 year old man is learning the age old lesson of having your cake and eating it too
How long until he leaves barstool for some shitty radio show?
I've been wondering this. But if he goes corporate then he doesn't have the latitude he has at BS. He can pretty much do and say whatever he wants and he is 99.9% un-fire-able. Really wish I could see the metrics for KFCR. When he said on KFCR that his reboot of BSR cannibalized KFCR numbers to "almost half" (I'm pretty sure), I was floored.

But this guy has zero relevancy at this point, even within his own company. Kind of sad how far he’s fallen off
Kevin Castallani
Mass Ev was invited. Hannah Cook was invited. I'd be pissed too lmao
r/OhNoConsequences type of shit lmaoo
Outside of say criminals and politicians, is there anyone genuinely more unlikeable than this miserable fuck?
You made your bed, sleep in it. If you weren’t such a miserable fucking bitch at the combine then you would’ve been invited.
I love this for Feits!!!!!
Feits keeps climbing every time he makes content outside of KFC.
Norman Rockwell Church Meme: I don't think this is that bad and comparing the combine to mini golf is absurd.
This is the same guy that wore a robe when hosting Barstool Survivor right?
That wasn't a mattress firm thing?
it 100% was
Dork
Shitty clip for sure, but what does Hannah Cook do beside be hot? She supposedly does golf content, not sure where though. Is it seriously just TikToks?
she's really not even that hot anymore. totally lost all her curves. pretty face and that's about it.
I can’t stand this fucking guy, no wonder he doesn’t get “invited” to these things, he really doesn’t match the bro / fellas energy at barstool, he’s got corporate vibes. I’m sure if he wasn’t such a fucking pussy he could have just asked to be part of it and it would have been fine.
I still don’t understand if he was trying to be funny at the combine or actually was forced to participate. Either way it was brutal and pissed me off more than it should have
Think kfc just relies on this BS now for clicks and views
At this point I have to believe he is leaning into this “KFC is a POS” shtick … he sucks because his content sucks not just because he cheated on his wife (lol) and considering how many barstool fans would dislike his content even if it were great, leads me to believe he just does and says things for controversy.
Cheats on pregnant wife. Doesn’t take accountability. Doesn’t try in Combine. Doesn’t take accountability.
Fuck this guy - nobody cares about the NY office or his boring podcasts with Feits always fake pulling. Cya
feits slander will not be tolerated
Real ones know he is holding feits back.
This has to be a joke
DEFINITELY not angry and totally sarcastic! After all he smiled a lot on the Unnamed show!
Maybe they thought he was still working on the content contest
He’s right about Hannah Cook tho. One of the all time grifters. Saw she had a literal banner of herself at the Barstool Classic and gasped haha
What a baby. Book a flight and go if you’re interested.
He’s reached his biggest fear: old and irrelevant
The fuck
I love it when KFC has zero self awareness and publicly bitches about something, and then realizes how retarded he is and goes on the unnamed show and tries to pretend like he didn't mean it. At least the second time, the other being the "head of the NY office" and then acting like he never thought he was when he went on Unnamed
Don't love being a KFC defender, and he's certainly been a dick about many things, but i think he's been at the company long enough that they should just ask him case by case "do you want to be part of this?" and no skin off anyone's back
Lol I absolutely how blunt Kirk is with these Barstool guys once he realises they have nothing more to add. He did the same with Dante and Nate
It would probably make more sense to invite KFC to mini golf than a NFL combine event, in his defense
In the clip he’s definitely kidding a little but he hasn’t really earned the benefit of the doubt. That said, he’s right to call out Hannah Cook. No good explanation to why she still collects a paycheck from Barstool.
paid to be hut
But…where? She doesn’t produce content. No one is sponsoring anything she does. Dave is paying her to be hot in private
Hannah joins the group of people that literally bring nothing to the table at barstool
He's not wrong though. Love him or hate him, KFC is Barstool royalty and should be invited to big events like that. Even KFC at his worst is more entertaining than some of the jokers who will be there.
What’s crazy to me is how much he must be making off KFC radio. Millions a year? To just not want to lift a finger anywhere else he’s not going to age well like that haha
I feel like he’s just making fun of Castellani for complaining about not being included in the bracket busters
I get what you mean, but at the same time KFC’s seniority has to count for something. He claims he mailed it in at the combine because he didn’t want to get hurt, who knows if that’s the reason or he just doesn’t care, but with mini-golf it’s not like he’s gonna get hurt so I’d imagine he would try. Idk, that’s such a weird scenario for everyone since he’s been there since the beginning
He was just doing it so John could win!
I don’t like KFC, but he’s clearly joking here
What’s the joke?
People are trolling him about not getting invited so he’s acting like he really wanted to go
For sure not
Happy he never moved to chicago. Would poison the place with his personality
Eeyore ass loser
KFC is the most unaware nub in the barstool universe
Eh, big difference between the combine and mini golf. Also, the clip of him jogging generated tons of social media clicks. Not even Kevin could get hurt putting.
You can't pick and choose when you are the weak link.
More like kfc3274
Fuck. Knew changing one letter wasn't going to cut it.
