Summary
We are joined today by two of the absolute funniest people at Barstool Sports, and beyond, KB and Nick Turani from the A New Untold Story Podcast, The Yak, Rediscovering America, and much more. KB and Nick talk their journey's to internet fame, anxiety and dealing with attention, leaning into the bit, their sports fandom, moving to Chicago, and a bunch more. On the back end, TJ and Mark discuss the at the time breaking news of Dave Portnoy buying Barstool Sports back from Penn Entertainment for 1 dollar, and what that means for the future of the company. Kyle Bauer and Nick Turani both grew up in Wheeling, West Virginia. They hardly new each other as kids, but rekindled their friendship years later and eventually both ended up becoming two of the funniest people at Barstool Sports, and furthermore, the internet as a whole. KB was a wrestler at Kent State University who went on to become a viral sensation on Twitter before coming to Barstool as a blogger, and Nick spent time as a graphic designer at Mark's Ohio State University after graduating from West Virginia, eventually leading him to an opportunity to do graphics at Barstool, which led him in to the on camera world. Together they now host ANUS: A New Untold Story, a podcast about everything and nothing all at once. They are two great dudes that we are all very lucky to get to be around creatively.
