A wonderful interview. As a Barstool supporter, my initial thought was...is this a hit job interview? Ruth, you constructed a great interview that was respectful, extremely insightful, yet you didn't shy away from challenging questions. Again...well done!
Not a HUGE Erika fan, but I have nothing but respect for her. She’s obviously extremely intelligent and Dave, the guy who started it all, believed in her from the beginning. All of that says A LOT in my mind.
Whoa? 16:07 in. No Legacy? Man, I support her but no Legacy? Bullshit! You said you read the newspaper? I have the newspaper. Come on Erica. That's wrong.
All the Barstool employees use their social Media handles not their birth names because of Barstool being a media content company. Now Erica has left she now uses her proper name. so stop fishing.
Lady has had a career better than 99.99% of men at age 48, making millions of dollars, was a CEO at age 38, and STILL claims she has experienced “sexism” in the work place 😂😂😂
dude, she's a corporate ceo that built the company's valuation to hundreds of millions, got the company sold, and then oversaw it bought back again. she made a killing. she did her job and isn't needed anymore. literally nothing between her and dave except likely hammering out a graceful way to part ways a few months after dave got the company back. she also changed her last name cause she re-married.
Because she got a divorce. This has to be the most incorrect, presumptive, and utterly moronic comment of 2024 so far. It's not a secret, Erika has been seen out for months in Connecticut with a younger male who is a racquet ball coach at an exclusive membership club. I really like Erika, but her personal life is reportedly a hot mess (her words!). Too much distraction for her, she made her millions from the buyout. Laziest comment I've read in a long time, do some research first.
Nothing happened behind the scenes, They Erica left on amicable terms and Dave respected her. Erica was brought in to grow the company and she did that. Barstool employees use their social media handles because its a Media content company. So stop trying to find dirt.
@@brian4878 It wasn't laziness she was dancing around Erica and now and again she would ask the controversial questions to catch Erica off guard. Did she honestly think that she would get the all time scoop by a CEO that has chewed up and spat out by other execs for the last 8 years? She was a plant that speaks very elequently hoping to crack Erica. No one will ever crack Erica.
@@wjkrug She hasn't left Barstool yet, Still got to serve her notice first and after that, Erica still won't rat on Dave. Just Like Martha did with Snoop Dog. The internet world knows how dangerous Dave can be. He isn't a Schmuck who got fed with a silver spoon like the rest of the glass and steel phonies in the Media. They wouldn't know what hit them.
Love her! So smart and classy! Can listen to her all day! ❤
Top notch interview. Stoolies owe Erika a lot considering how big she built the brand. Well done.

I love Erika, I wish they would have someone smart interview her.
Loyalty an underrated monetized contet
Erica knows the trajectory of social media is Video
ericka is afootnote in Barstolls history
Those zoom-in edits are very distracting, otherwise a good interview
Barstool is more satire then hate and I'm a Lib in CA
The Queen 👸 #barstool
never use wicked on the west coast as an adjective
The GOAT CEO.
Scaling should be population based
Whoa? 16:07 in. No Legacy? Man, I support her but no Legacy? Bullshit! You said you read the newspaper? I have the newspaper. Come on Erica. That's wrong.
QVC is still hiring
Narrow and deep vs Market wide.....elaborate
who's the captaine now
Crux of the issue is women at barstool dont feel like they are represented....I'm not sure I agree
Big Cat is Barstool
I love Erika
If barstool was a "rag tag media company" when Erika took it over, what is this podcast considered?
She bought in almost certainly
Brick by Brick Ericka! Miss you!
and maryland has the best flag

Rocky Dennis

Define Mainstream barstool
FYI: i don't believe Nardini is her last name anymore...."Erika Ayers Badan"

Monetize the Pandemic sounds ver much like Barstool
finacially

You lack basic hearing skills - I guess. Anyway she was talking about TECH companies.
@@arjanpetersen right, you mean the companies she said she was a highly paid marketing exec in?
What would be the problem with that statement? succes and sexism are mutually exclusive?
Looks like Portnoy did her dirty by not cutting her a bigger slice pre-and-post the Penn deal.
Erica sold Barstool for half a million and bought it back for a dollar. Dave was very Generous with Erica.
Something else happened behind the scenes between her and Dave . She changed her last name again after deciding to leave

Erica and her husband split awhile ago. Erica has a new boyfriend and happy.
You’re co-worker cannot change your last name😂 she got divorced and remarried
Stop saying “decade” and “10 years.” She was there 8 years. 8 is not 10.
Be more poignant in ur questions
U dont have love it to make money
Nard Dog!!!
Erika, Great job! Also you’re a 10 ❤ hmu😅
Boo
ericas face is why plastic surgery is tough
Any chance to take shots at Dave...man.
Its desperate isn't it, Erica is going to get alot of this and she was captaining the pirate ship and she will never dump on Dave.
@@iangoldsworthy2056 It's just laziness by the host.

They won’t ask her what she thinks of Dave.
You know why
