BarstoolNate Brings Ground Pound To RoneDotCom

Rone's stream went live a little after 9 AM ET. A few minutes later, Nate told everyone where he'd be.

GP on @ronedotcom this morning!!!!!!!!!!

That's 10 exclamation points for 2 letters. GP is Ground Pound, Nate's new series, and a new Barstool show needs this kind of push to find an audience. RoneDotCom is a good place to get it. It's a morning stream with a built-in crowd that shows up every day, and landing a segment there puts a new show in front of people who never went looking for it.

About 10 minutes after the first tweet, Nate posted proof. The clip is a window from the 9.30.26 RoneDotCom stream: 2 guys at the studio desk with mics, a laptop sitting on a red star-painted stool, and a bit happening in real time.

.@BarstoolNate's new Ground Pound series just crossed 260 followers on TikTok @VivaLaStool

He captioned it with nothing but rocket emojis. The frames don't give away what the payoff was. Maybe it's the walk-off, maybe the drink, maybe something said off-mic. Nate clearly thought it was worth 7 rockets, and the only way to find out is to go back through the stream.

This is how a new Barstool show usually gets started. Nobody hands you a slot and a marketing budget. You get on a stream people already watch, you do the bit, and you post the clip before the morning is over. Nate did all 3 before lunch.

Next up is whether Ground Pound can keep people around after the RoneDotCom bump wears off. A guest spot on the morning stream gets people to look once. Getting them to come back to the series on its own is up to Nate.
