Keep That PMA
People keep asking "What is going on, why do we hate Whiskey Riff now?"
Here ya go:
@WhiskeyRiff is a Barstool Sports for country lifestyle, without El Presidente's pizza reviews (huge loss).
They create fluff articles, have a podcast and sell merch.
That's it—that's the model.
They've built a massive audience on social media.
They also took a strategic investment from @opry Entertainment Group, a publicly traded powerhouse.
The beginning of the blow up
Whiskey Riff has always said they were supporting independent artists, and it's still on their about page.
But over the weekend, that mission fell apart.
They started a war with the independent country music scene.
And I mean WAR. 👇
One of the hosts of a smaller podcast that truly highlights unknown and up and coming artists (@WesternGrungeTD ) had retweeted a few Whiskey Riff posts with some light jabs on his personal account.
(For real though, this is easy to do. Whiskey Riff claims to push independent artists, but most of their content is mainstream and they give a voice to morons like Gavin Adcock)
Anyways, Whiskey Riff's team got their feelings hurt.
And they retailiated.
They bought Western Grunge's domain name (admittedly unclaimed).
When this broke, the independent music community began to flip out.
Instead of apologizing, Whiskey Riff leaned in and bought another.
The domains they purchased were repointed to their shop, as if people would mindlessly say, "Huh, I was looking for Western Grunge's podcast but look, a shirt with a bad beer pun!"
It gets worse 🫠
As people started to complain that a corporate backed media powerhouse was punching down and being a bully, they started blocking anyone who called them out (which is all of their Twitter engagement—and they've had to shut off comments on other platforms).
They've blocked so many people on Twitter I've actively watched them lose followers all weekend.
Then their attorney commented on one of my posts, dropping a grenade into the hold situation:
"They can send us a C&D. [...] They’ve been talking s*** about us for weeks so I’m sure they know how to get ahold of us."
Queue the RAGE.
Now, Whiskey Riff (or Risky Whiff as they were rebranded by the community over the weekend) have completely blown up their ties to the independent scene.
It's a cataclysmic divide in between their claimed mission and their actions.
At the core of community building is authenticity.
Whiskey Riff has no authenticity left.

To be in the College Football Hall of Fame, a coach must have won at least 60% of his games. Mike Leach won 59.6%.
RT if you think Mike Leach should still be included in the College Football Hall of Fame
LoL Philly fans....How exactly does Philly own the Atl? Philly has an all time losing record against the Braves. Acuna Jr probably takes the same PEDs that Harper took as a 19 yo phenom.
