On September 9, Barstool\u2019s Eddie was a guest on 670 The Score in Chicago, and things got heated when he referred to host Dan Bernstein by his last name. \u201cYou can call me Dan or you can call me Bernsy, but you don\u2019t know me like that,\u201d the radio host said on air. This incident fired Dave Portnoy up and he released a video defending his employee for how he was treated. \u201cNo one ever says anything mean about Eddie. Not a mean bone in his body. He\u2019s on local Chicago sports talk radio, that\u2019s him doing them a favor,\u201d Dave explained. \u201cThey have this guy named Dan Bernstein, from what I\u2019ve gotten, he used to be normal, but his brain broke and now he\u2019s a woke lunatic.\u201d \u201cThis guy Bernstein, this piece of sh*t, I guess has always hated Barstool,\u201d he added, explaining how the radio host got mad when Eddie called him by his last name. \u201cBuddy, it\u2019s your name! Acting like Eddie insulted him or something.\u201d Eddie also released his own video, noting how he was on another show on the radio channel and their interaction happened during a transition. \u201cAs of late, he\u2019s turned into a miserable man,\u201d Eddie said. \u201cOn top of that, he\u2019s hated Barstool for as long as I can remember. I was not in the same studio as Bernstein. I was remote in a sporting goods store so I couldn\u2019t see him at all. There was no reading of the body language. There was none of that.\u201d According to Eddie, he didn\u2019t call Bernstein \u201cBernstein\u201d to get a rise out of him, adding that he still didn\u2019t understand why the host got so upset. Portnoy, meanwhile, how vowed revenge, stating that Bernstein had created \u201can enemy for life.\u201d \u201cStoolies, you have my permission, on a professional level, you can harass the f*ck out of this until his dying breath. He deserves, whenever he does a live feed, whenever he\u2019s on the radio, people calling him, harassing him, calling him Bernstein, prank him. He shouldn\u2019t be able to sleep, professionally speaking, the rest of his life,\u201d Dave sounded off. So far, Bernstein has yet to respond to the backlash, but Dave has since reiterated that he wants the harassment to be \u201cprofessional,\u201d reminding his fans to keep things legal. \u201cAnd to again clarify and make crystal clear when I say harass professionally, I mean flooding the phone lines and calling him Bernstein anytime he\u2019s in public doing live hits or shows. That\u2019s it.\u201d This is hardly the first time Dave Portnoy has entered a viral feud with someone. Perhaps most notably, the Barstool boss battled NFL commisioner Roger Goodell in a long-running rivalry where he was even banned from football games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barstool\u2019s Dave Portnoy wages war with \u201clunatic\u201d radio host over employee snub X\/stoolpresidente\/BernsteinBusinessman and founder of media company Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, is calling on his fans to make life miserable for a Chicago radio host after he snubbed one of his employees for calling him by his last name.
