#KirkWasRight

On the one year anniversary of his start at Barstool Sports, one thing is clear: Kirk was right. He was right about Mayor Joe Curtatone, he was right about Benjamin Allbright, he was right about the Wilbur Theater, he was right about Entercom, he was right about Madawaska, he was right about Kmarko, he was right about... well, everything. The crew reflects on one wacky year in show business, dissects an awful segment of monologue radio on WEEI, and prepares for yet another controversial segment ...

The Skepticism Brigade

As more information comes to light about the various organizations the famous people have been asking us to donate to, it's looking more and more like Kirk was right to ask questions about his Barstool colleagues who joined in on the thoughtless virtue signaling. Blind Mike has discovered the idea of a plainclothes cop (0:13:30). Howard Stern responded to widespread criticism of his old show bits, but in a very bizarre way (0:31:30). KFC is once again having mental breakdowns live on the radio t...

Howard Stern Lies

Kirk Minihane answers the demands of the Minifans by adding another Saco show to his summer drive-in theater tour. Details at FireKmarko.com. Howard Stern said on The View that he's never used the n-word on the radio; we found dozens and dozens of examples of him using the n-word on radio (0:14:00). A pair of Barstool wannabes tried to make their big break into podcasting by analyzing the Minihane-Kmarko fight and somehow managed to get every single detail wrong (1:03:00). A former NESN sports b...

I Don't See It: The Blind Mike Story

Major Show Announcement: Steve Robinson has, for the very first time, been commissioned to write a book. His topic? The Life and Legacy of B. Michael Geary, available everywhere books are sold by Christmas. Barstool CEO Erika Nardini publicly addressed the war between Kirk Minihane and Kmarko on her podcast, Token CEO, bringing a little closure to the fiery dispute between the blog editor and one of Barstool Stool's biggest podcasters (0:58:03). Barstool Nate, a good friend of Simple Keith, join...

Simple Keith

After learning some interesting things about Kmarko, Kirk Minihane now feels a little remorseful and has decided to help the big guy out. Kirk responds to Dave Portnoy, KFC, and Big Cat, who took to The Rundown last night to talk shit and flaunt their own ignorance of cancel culture (0:19:00). Following Torii Hunter's allegations that multiple children have called him racial slurs at Fenway, the Red Sox are in full pander mode -- and this includes the radio propaganda arm of the organization, WE...

#FireKmarko

Kirk Minihane has done what no political leader or Hollywood celebrity has accomplished in the last three decades. A tense, weary, polarized, fractured and disillusioned nation has been united like never before around a singular noble cause: #FireKmarko. Let it echo from sea to shining sea, from New York to L.A., from Madawaska to Panora -- #FireKmarko. In today's show, Kirk elaborates on the treachery of Kmarko's decision to collaborate with a known enemy of Barstool to hurt a Barstool brand. K...

Kmarko Delenda Est

After a poorly written smear piece on Kirk Minihane appears on the Barstool Sports blog, Kirk questions how it happened and why. All answers lead to Barstool Editor-in-Chief Keith Markovich, a.k.a. Kmarko, who for some inexplicable reason hates the Kirk Minihane Show and wants to cause us harm. Kirk goes through the sophomoric attempt to produce a coherent argument on today's show and talks about his subsequent phone calls with Kmarko and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy. The entire show is ...

Charlie Baker has allowed us to enter "Phase 2" of his idiotic re-opening scheme.

Bye Bye Law & Order

As the country continues to grapple with issues of race, privilege, policing, justice, and inequality, new voices are emerging with various solutions -- some more helpful than others. In the Washington Post, a columnist proposes that we eliminate all movies and TV shows featuring cops, while others urge the defunding of police departments. Meanwhile, controversy at the New York Times over an oped from Sen. Tom Cotton and calls for censorship. Robert Littal, the founder and editor of Black Sports...

against the wind; against the wall; against the sky

Outside agitators have conspired to ruin Blind Mike's trip to Florida with Latino Kirk and Intern Will, and Kirk ain't happy about it.

The GearHeads Go to War

Shocking footage of a so-called "comfort zone" in downtown Boston (brought to you exclusively by the Kirk Minihane Show) reveals the sordid conditions that political leaders in Massachusetts have created for the most vulnerable members of society.

Minihane to SiriusXM

The Kirk Minihane Show is coming to Barstool Sports' Sirius XM channel one day per week starting Wednesday at 11am EST. The First Annual Dave Portnoy Memorial 5k was a thrilling success with zero fatalities and huge sport from Erika Nardini, Big Cat, and even Tucker Carlson. Kirk actually enjoyed 'Champions for Charity', the golf event featuring Tiger Woods, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Phil Mickelson (0:28:30). Larry King inked a $5 million podcasting deal, but we don't buy it. Kirk reacts to...

5k

The final show before the Dave Portnoy Memorial 5k on Saturday, May 23. (If you're not running, you can watch the broadcast live on the Kirk Minihane Show Youtube channel and the KMS Twitter feed.) In a loose Thursday night show, the crew talks pizza and Ben Volin's shitty attempt at journalism. Blind Mike bombs an interview with a comedian who totally wasn't big-timing him -- a contribution to the show only outdone by a strange 40-second audio clip submitted by DEC. Callers inform, annoy, and a...

Donald Trump, Jr., Barstool Big Cat, and Mike Francesa

Peter Nelson Is a Douche

Erika Nardini and Dave Portnoy both dropped podcasts sharing their side of the Call Her Daddy dispute and one thing is clear: Peter Nelson is a gigantic douche -- the douchiest douche to ever douche. Kirk had a phone call with Boston Globe managing director Linda Pizzuti about the latest suspect Kevin Cullen column (0:26:00). The much-ballyhooed final episodes of The Last Dance did not live up to the hype (0:48:28). Ben Smith's New York Times column questioning the work of #MeToo journalist Rona...

Where Are The Pols' Paycuts?

As the country struggles on through coronavirus and economic depression, Kirk asks whether MA Gov. Charlie Baker and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh have taken pay cuts?

Joe Buck backtracks his comments about how the NFL will han...

Victory Over Mariah Day

The Internet, clearly and unambiguously, has declared Kirk Minihane more popular and talented than Mariah Carey; he was won a striking victory in the Lambily-Minifan War of 2020.

The Lambily Goes to War

The Minifans are locked in a heated and vitriolic war with the Lambily. What is the Lambily? Why are we at war? Those questions will likely haunt Matt Carano until he has dinner at Mamma Mia's.
