Riggs had money beforehand but I think people also underestimate how much money Foreplay brings in. Barstools fan base is the perfect group for golf shit and the invitational makes bank too
Whenever the topic comes up in here its clear that many people dont understand what money podcasts bring in. Between ad deals, live events, and merchandise.
Theres a reason that Barstool sold for hundreds of millions of dollars at one point.
Yeah Foreplay is one of their three or four primary properties. If Barstool is a half a billion dollar company, that property will be bringing in a fuck ton of value.
When the first class list was a discussion, I believe the only ones who got a firm yes from Dave were Big Cat/PFT, CITO, Chiclets and Foreplay, when guys like Hank and KFC were maybes.
I know everything about mintzy is getting its own post but this picture is particularly hilarious to me because you just knew some shit like this was gonna happen eventually
I think I'm starting to finally get the Mintzy thing. He makes everyone remotely in his orb seem so much more likable because he's so unlikable. It's brilliant.
correct. it’s an inverse Hero’s Journey. it’s never been done before…. it’s a miracle that it works. i hate mintz like everyone but this is making me somehow come around on him due to the outcome
This whole trip from Riggs’ perspective is so goddamn funny. Their stuff has been at Riggs’ condo since 9am and they still haven’t seen him!
How much money does Foreplay bring in? Riggsy seems loaded
He is very loaded
I think he was preloaded before barstool through his family
Yea I don’t think most of the people get into blogging / content creation at Barstool if they’re an existing poor.
Fair point, middle school teacher / girls basketball coach made Ohio's Tate a nice nest egg to fall back on
You live like a king in Ohio with that gig.
I’d imagine there are some who aren’t from my means and just have no ability to make more money doing something else so might as well do a fun job
At least when they were in New York almost entirely it was harder to get by and do this
He undoubtedly gets a cut of all barstool golf merch, which every jabroni in sales wearing Cole Haans buys, so he does very well
He has a 2 mil Scottsdale condo, a 2 mil Pinehurst house and a golf membership at whisper rock which is $100k + initiation plus dues
A Scottsdale condo is 2mil. Geez

People still think interns run social media accounts and not someone making near or above 6 figures
But then it sold for a dollar without changing
Foreplay being a cash cow for Barstool is one of the reasons Riggs is allowed to live in AZ and do whatever he wants.
Yeah Foreplay is one of their three or four primary properties. If Barstool is a half a billion dollar company, that property will be bringing in a fuck ton of value.
For a while Foreplay was the clear number 3 behind PMT and Chicklets due to their merch sales and all three of them clearly are not hurting
It is also important to recognize that Foreplay was very early on the, "We'll take a salary cut for a percentage cut" when it came to Barstool.
Some of their ad deals are insane.
I think Riggs is a pompous chodd but he deserves full credit for creating the barstool golf brand

Edit they’re at least en route https://x.com/barstooltate/status/2009131178746585366?s=46

Equally hilarious that Riggs still wears a hat inside of a god damn steakhouse
It's Wednesday at Mastro's. RuPaul's Drag Race is on a television in the background. It's fine.
They don’t sell hot dogs here. They took the bleachers out three years ago.
flair checks out?
I would love to wear a hat inside of a steakhouse but I respect the rules of society
Credit to Riggs for playing into this whole thing perfectly
Riggs made this whole trip way too easy for Mintzy. Kind of ruined the whole point
Mintzy’s backup plan was an 11 room mansion with a lazy river. It was going to be easy regardless.
