The Improbable Story of Brandon Walker: Small Town Journalist to Barstool Sports Star
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лют 2020
- When you think about it, he’s kind of the physical embodiment of what is happening at Barstool. A meteoric rise based on a fuck ton of luck followed up by a whole lot of charisma and hard work. That’s the formula. Sprinkle in some legislation legalizing gambling, Grudge Dave pulling a petty stunt, and 6 feet 5 inches of country with a brain chock full of sports knowledge and you have a recipe for the newest star at Barstool Sports.
From his youth as a (basically) only child raised only by his mother, to his time at local newspapers and blogs down south, to his big break where he completely changed his life and his family member’s lives to come to New York. After hearing about his upbringing, his professional background, his marriage, his education, and his viewpoint on fatherhood, life, and success, I can promise you nobody will ever call Brandon Walker a M*ron From M*ssissippi ever again.
A truly fascinating sit down with a man who knew his big break was a publicity stunt, but one who was hell bent on making sure it grew to be much more than that. A great sports writer, but an even better husband, father and friend to have here at Barstool HQ. Watch Behind the Blog and make sure you catch Brandon on Walk The Line, Unnecessary Roughness, Picks Central, and The Yak.

I’d like to apologize to KFC for my hate over the year. This interview was great. Hating resumes tomorrow.
Lmao
I mean, he is sitting like a fucking weirdo during this intro.
Hahaha I was thinking the exact same thing. He was awesome at this.
Hes the worst
Next one needs to be on Donnie, AKA The Wonton Don aka Donnie Does aka the best content on Barstool.
Zach Etkind...
I would almost say by far
We need one on the Don.. hands down the best thing on barstool!
We will all continue to scream it from the rooftops until Donnie gets the recognition he deserves and a pay raise.
I fully agree! i would love to know about WTDs life
Brandon walker and Donnie does there both my fav
Same and Chaps.
Donnie rules all
Bingo. I agree
*they're
Same here !
This is the first content from KFC that is must watch in the past 2 years
edward nigma you ain’t lying !!
Answer the internet is good n kfc radio he knows his nitch not my type of guy but he works hard.
edward nigma its like great tho a good comback for him
Bump
Love Brandon Walker. Barstool has a great eye for talent
James Lill I mean there’s a lot of boners that work/have worked for them too though
@@rythaguy1893 sick bro
B-Walk got himself a haircut & dresses fresh now but is still down home southern. Love the guy
Jon Lamonte "Can take the boy out of the South but can't take the south out of the boy."
Got a new shiny tooth too. Put up a billboard about it right outside Starkville.
Best Barstool hire in a looooooong time
Big fan of Mush, too
@@222333aaaaaa mush is one of their worst employees by far
This was well done. Good shit Kevin. It’s nice to hear the interviewers being interviewed for a change.
I’ve been big on Brandon since day one.
That’s the funniest thing I ever saw
Love Brandon Walker such a genuine humble and funny guy. This guys just getting started he’s gonna be a star.
Holy shit just finished the whole thing.... This man is incredible!!! I love Brandon dude so humble and crazy how life works out sometimes
Chowder Headz not as humble anymore
B walk is a good guy, I've really enjoyed him since he joined Barstool!
Brandon "Brienne of Tarth" Walker
😅😅
That's a big bitch
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You don't see guys like Brandon very often. Barstool hit it out of the park with this guy!
Mrs Walker is the most ride or die chick. Gotta love it.
Best individual piece of content put out from anyone in recent memory. Great interview
Fantastic interview. Being a State fan living in MS, I’ve been listening to Brandon’s content for years. He clearly has a talent that is perfectly fit for Barstool. Best hire they have made in years. It’s also a good “work hard and never give up” type of inspirational story. Good job B-Walk
Awesome interview. This will be an amazing series.
Really good interview. Thanks for posting.
B Walk sending love from Canada. Best barstool hire in the last couple years
Brandon Walker is awesome and it seems like this opportunity is long overdue for him.
Wow, Kevin is genuinely likable on camera/as an interviewer when he's not overtly trying to be funny the entire time.
Really enjoyed this side of Barstool. Definitely need more of these!
This was really good, I hope we get more of these.
great vid, great interview. creds KFC
This is one of the best hires they’ve made. Love BFW
This is great. It reminds me of a Wrestler being interviewed and opening the door to the real world of sports entertainment. Same struggles to work hard, build and be acknowledged for your talent and develop a following of invested fans. Even the rivalries at Barstool are a bit of WWE drama mixed in with some real life dramatic consequences. Anyway. It's dope. Keep it up.
I love this interview!
Love this series! Please do many many more
We need more of this type of content. Lots more of this.
We should all hope to have spouses that support us unconditionally like Brandon's wife, she sounds amazing, big ups to her 👏👏👏
Big tats on her
I am also a small town Southern boy. Rooting for Brandon and thankful that Barstool exists and is open to giving people with various backgrounds great opportunities.
He was by himself while his mom worked at age 6? Fishing and reading about sports? The legend of Brandon Fuckin Walker is just getting started, I respect the fuck out of this man!
Great interview Kevin.
Great interview. Brandon is a legend!
This interview was awesome
Good guy Dadcat, also appreciated Brandon Walker before but after this interview he’s got the best personality
Brandon Walker is one of my favorite all time barstool employees. Marty Mush and him are the best content crew in the business at barstool. Being from Kentucky and following barstool these guys are all time greats and I can’t wait to see more content from these guys.
Marty Mush? you've gotta be joking. I agree on BW though
This was awesome!!! Nice job.
Brandon hands down is one of the best things about Barstool!!!! Love this type of content!!!
This was awesome! Need more of the interviewers being interviewed.
BWalk to the MF Moon
Great video and I hope to see more of these
From a die hard Ole Miss guy, BFW is the man. His hustle is next level.
This was awesome. Love the insight. BFW
Love Brandon Walker. One of my favorites at Barstool!
Walker 10/10
Great content I honestly enjoyed it immensely!
Please do the Wonton Don next!
Nice to see the Human aspect of things. Keep it rolling. Zah would be a great story. Great follow up to he and Donnie’s series.
I'm so happy for B-Walk. The man is electric.
This was great. More please.
Frankie has a face like the moon. MOONKID
Even though Brandon Walker blocked me on Twitter, watching this (especially the upbringing parts) is putting my feelings about him back on neutral ground. You hurt my feelings with the block, Brandon Walker.
A R why he block u?
God, he probably got blocked for telling the same dumb joke everyday in B Walker's mentions.
NFL is rigged lol true
KFC contemplated marriage again at 7:15
El Prez has had many knockout signings but Brandon Walker may top the list
Never gambled on sports a day in my life but BWalker is one of my favorites at Barstool
Love to see the success from Brandon Walker, well done my guy.
As a 41 year old. Stoolie for 6 + years. BFW was a clutch pick up for my genre. Stoked with the progression of this brand. KFC needs more of this one on one
I love this format
As soon as the Mush x Walker saga started with the road trip videos, I knew he was going to be special
I just started following Barstool a little over a year ago. The Dozen got me here. I didn't know any of the personalities other than Prez. The dozen kind of helped figure out who was who. I quickly took a liking to Brandon. Probably because i'm a college football fanatic. But I kind of thought he had just always been here. This was really cool to watch for the first time...seeing a somewhat finished product that he had already become.
This was awesome 👏
Really great stuff. Nice to get insight away from the "character" the play day to day.
KFC you're underrated by the barstool crowd, but thankfully not the company! Appreciate all your effort and content.
From one Kevin to another, keep creating that painkiller content!
Who else has done these "Behind the Blog" interviews? Logan needs to organize the content so we can find shit a little easier. (Not hating, you're doing great buddy.)
needed the dunk video yesterday
This was great! I love B-Walk and this is so col to hear. I think he is no where near his ceiling. Just a real life guy, with a hilarious point of view
Kevin great job. B walk always impressing
B walk is great talent. Barstool needs more of him.
brandon walker needs to say "RICKEY BOBBY" "SHAKE"N"BAKE" just once lets getter done
i appreciate the 69 likes boys, getting lucky tonight
I’ve become a big fan of Brandon Walker, since his CM Punk interview last September. Such a nice funny energy to his interview’s👏🏾🙌🏾
Good work KFC. Great vid. BFW has quite a history.
Fantastic, seems like a really great guy who got a great opportunity and it all worked out
Loved this
This video was awesome!
Love Bwalk man he deserves his success

Honestly wasn’t a huge fan of Brandon Walker at first but now he’s a top five barstool employee imo.

More of this. I love b-walks
KFC at the end trying to be like El Pres....but great interview thanks to BFW 🤗👌
This was awesome
Best video barstool has uploaded. Also BFW is barstools greatest purchase.
This is very inspirational - Barstool to the F*%kin' MOON!
Great interview KFC!
His wife sounds awesome. They should do a show together
Behind every successful man is a woman who kept him focused and energized... If Brandon's wife deserves a lot of the credit also
Love this dude !
Love Brandon and couldn’t be more happy for him big ups BW
