The time has come, again, for me to scratch and claw my way into the candidate pile for the newest Barstool application. While I was able to plead an impressive case, I’m hoping this extra addition to my application will further prove my hard work and dedication to this dream.
There is a section of the application which asks you to check off which areas you’re comfortable making content in. Now, I’m sure everyone clicked every option available. But I think it’s only in theory that they BELIEVE they can make content in these categories. Some people talk about it, others be about it. Luckily I’ve written so many blogs that I can further showcase my aptitude for covering anything I think I can make funny or interesting.
Here are the areas I checked off and corresponding blogs that I’ve written recently for that genre. (More blog under the links. Probably the most important part actually.)

I’d be shocked if someone read all of those in one sitting. Flattered actually. Point is, if you need a blog on Gambling, NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAAF, Music, Pop Culture, Reality TV, Movies, Television, Books, True Crime, Comedy, Dating Relationships, Memes, Space, Science, Concerts, Domestic Traveling, International Traveling, History, Food, Technology, Streetwear, Health and Fitness, Politics, Social Media, or The Metaverse, it’s there. Control F to find a recent blog I wrote on any of the categories listed in the Barstool Application. I didn’t just check boxes on the assumption that I could create content on these topics, I spent the last few years writing to prove I could.
Which begs the question, if I’ve been writing so much, why haven’t I amassed a following? Great question, thank you for asking. I only tweet out my blogs from @TKJsucks on Twitter to Barstool employees. Anyone outside of Barstool who follows me gets blocked. It sounds counterintuitive but given the nature of my profession I will not jeopardize my coworkers because I’m trying to be funny. I love the people I work with, I won’t put them in the crosshairs for the pursuit of my dream. I’d love to clarify further and provide further understanding in person.
So I blog into the void. Never knowing if my years of work is falling on deaf eyes. Or maybe blind eyes makes more sense in this context. Blogging has always been my favorite part of Barstool. Sure, you can learn about someone from a video but reading their thoughts gives you a window into who they are and what they stand for. If given the chance, I’d blog my ass off for awhile until people knew what I was about enough to start a podcast. I have an idea for one. But blogging will always will always be my bread and butter. My first passion.
So I’ll say a prayer. Do a ritual. Create good karma. All in the hopes that somebody is reading this. Because I’m hungry to contribute to this company I love. I promise you this, no one will outwork me because I understand how special an opportunity this would be.
