- Would you ever take the chance of faking a sponsorship?
In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I sit down with Robby Berger, also known as Bob Does Sports, and chat about his journey from being a doorman at The Four Seasons Hotel to being a multi-millionaire content creator. In just a little over two years, Bob has built up an enormous following through different platforms and gigs, such as Bob Does Sports and The Brilliantly Dumb Podcast. He shares with us how he got Yamaha to be his first podcast sponsor, how much money he makes from sponsorships, and how he built a team from scratch.
Bob also shares what his morning routine is like and why he believes his audience got so engaged with his content so quickly in the game.
Robby Berger is a podcast host known as the personality "Bobby Fairways" that hosts both the podcast The Brilliantly Dumb Show, and its offshoot show, Bob Does Sports, which is popular on Instagram. Both shows focus on comedy and his fandom for sports, mostly the sport of golf.

01:29:17: What food does Bob eat?
01:46:52: Where to learn more about Bob?
Key Takeaways:
- Sometimes you have to fake it until you make it if you want to experience success. While Bob Does Sports has a huge audience and plenty of major sponsors today, he started by faking a year-long sponsorship with Windex to lure potential sponsors in. This allowed him to play his cards right and lock down his first real sponsor, Yamaha.
- Building a team that cares as much about the business as you do is the key to building something big and worthwhile. In Bob’s experience, he once reached a point where he had no money to pay his editor and he continued to support his content and work for free because he believed in Bob. If it weren’t for his editor, he wouldn’t have the massive audience and success he has today.
- Monetizing your audience is something you should look at like any other type of business. There is more than just one way you can generate revenue and it’s certainly not good practice to rely on one source of revenue. In Bob’s case, he makes money through Cameo videos, sponsorships, ads, and merch, and eventually built a Golfing brand.

Went to high school with Bob, you’re getting exactly how he’s been since he was young. Happy he’s killing it!
Surprisingly no, just the the New Jersey in him!
Haha from Mount Olive so crazy to see when he’s at Alfa bagels.
Lol you a Forte guy ?
@@ryanmachale5275 forte in Caldwell was my spot I think same owner .
Hell yeah, solid spot.
Bob does sports to the god dam moon
Well I think he got there
That is neither here nor there, and we're moving on.......
Fuck that. To mars.
Preach
Bobby fairways all day
Great to see Bob interviewed. But Jen you have to let the guests talk. Way to much interrupting and cutting Bob off. Let him talk.
Watched this to hear bobs story. Almost unbearable hearing her ask questions without doing any prep work and consistently suggesting business ideas. Bobs a class act how he navigated this one.
100% agree. She makes this tough to listen to. Sheesh 🙄
Especially with the 'like' every 5 words from her
“How much would it cost to boom u and how much is in ur bank” was the worst 15 min ever … like bitch what . U don’t know shit but now she got an opinion on his business expansion🤣
Even though I have heard it tons of time, the craziest part of the whole story is that Joey D was a manager at such a high end restaurant. Hilarious to think about 😂
He's definitely got that tough but cool manager thing going where he would bust your ass if you're screwing around but after service he's super cool to talk to
Joe other then the fact that hes a bull in the china shop. Joe really is quite mature. He knows food, he knows how to talk, etc.
Came for Bob, and left with Bob. Not sure why she asked some of the questions she did. None of that is her business. Bob is a class act
I am literally sitting here smiling, watching this entire interview with Bob...this kid is awesome! Been a fan since day one!
You hit the nail on the head, Bob is extremely likeable. Watching Bob Does Sports makes you feel like you are shooting a round with your boys. They take you away from your own daily grind; making you feel like you are a college maniac again with few responsibilities. It's every mans dream! I'd like to attribute Bob and Joey's humble likeability to being in the Hotel and Restaurant Industry. Seeing people at their worst tends to keep you consistently at your best. Enjoyed the interview!
I'm a simple man: I see Bob, I like, I subscribe. Loved your vibe, Jen. Have a day!
I second this. Have a day Johnny boy! Bobby Billions in the making!
Just now watching your interview.I am 70 years old and watching you guys on you tube has transformed my golf game. Over the last few years had become an angry golfer,not fun to play with.Since watching you guys I have chilled I play much better and I think im fun to play with. Thank you
That’s awesome, good on you mate
Me too. 67 and fell the same
been following bob since the doorman days with maybe 10k followers. the content then was so authentic and electric. he deserves all the success he has.
"Windex is reaping the benefits" lmao Bobby Fairways is a legend
This was good but could have been so much better if the host would let Bob speak and stop interrupting him to jump around and go on tangents.
ADHD at its finest.
Interviewer was a clown . Didn’t even research him before he came on the show. Maybe if she did she wouldn’t interrupt him every second. Peak of her career.
@@kevg4202 you gotta remember too that there isn't a whole lot about him out there
Agreed
Amen!! Constantly interrupting and asking multiple questions at once. Slow down and let your guest speak! 🙏
Bob meant 9 figures like Cold Cuts meant a bakers dozen is 12.
lmao that was such a classic Cutsy line
IYKYK
Saw that, hilarious coming from someone who worked in a restaurant.
@@chrisingram8233 Yeah idk how thats even possible. The man managed a Wolfgang puck restaurant lmao
Bob thought a bakers dozen was 6 😂
@Jennifer - hope you don't mind me being frank:
+ Awesome curious interview style
+ Great insights into Robby's past and how he got to where he is
- Super unnecessary shift into nutrition and health, while this topic could've been covered in 2min it has been blown up to almost half the video (I suppose this is a topic that's close to your heart, but that doesn't warrant the depth)
- Continued deep dive into food places in NY and LA are entirely irrelevant for most people here (I'm e.g. listening from Singapore)
- Missed out on the opportunity to ask some questions the audience does actually care about, e.g. about GoodGood collab, how the PGA stars are in private, what's next for BDS, which new formats they'll try etc.
Overall definitely a LIKE though, bring him back and get more into the (golf) topic! Keep it up ☺
I saw Bob and clicked…over half way through I realized the focus of this Podcast… I was like “this gal is really diving into the business” 😂😂😂
1 hour 49 minutes and 19 seconds of Bob getting hit on
hilarious
Jesus Christ, just give her your W2
Hahaha for real
One fantastic interview. I think going into not knowing much about Bob made her interview all the better. The entire interview was so easy to watch.. Well done.. I discovered Bob on his breakout golf video when he told Joey he was taking him to Torrey Pines and takes him to the worst course on the planet. It is a classic..
Bob is the most authentic guy there is, seems like the perfect mate. I've only been a fan for a year or so but every video he does, it's like you're on the course with him. All the best to him and if he keeps doing what he's doing I'll be a fan for the rest of time. Keep killing it Bobby and the boys 🙌
fan for a year or so is basically the whole time haha but yeah he seems like such a genuine guy
A true testament to bobs fan base is the view on this video. This podcast is up and coming but the views off of one day are way higher than the average views. Great interview, I love it!
100%. No disrespect to the podcast but I’ve never heard of it. I’m here for Bobby boy
Bob is the modern American Dream, absolute legend.
I discovered Bob watching the Tee box comp on Micah Morris' channel. What I absolutely loved about him was his insistence on talking directly to the camera man ,(even though he temporarily and hilariously got his name wrong) I just thought this is a dude that cares about people. You can see that Will Smith moment truly rubbed off on him. Been watching Bob Does Sports ever since. Love the boys. Love the message. Love the movement. Having a day with every upload.
Hands down my favorite interview I’ve seen with Bob, never really got to hear the full business side of things. How could you not love what the guys are doing over at BDS, what a great crew. Wonderful interview Jennifer.
god i love bob. clicked on this to hear a minute and im a half hour in. fastest half hour. the man is just pure gold.
Jennifer is literally throwing her kitty at Bob. 😺 Get it, Bob. Love your stuff dude. Keep it up!
Dial it back pal
I thought I was the only one who noticed she's ready to take him to the moon and back 😂
she basically took her panties off when she called him Bobby
Bob made her almost bearable.
What a fantastic interview. Great chemistry between the two of them with a delightful banter and genuine interest in each other..
Bobby Fairways has truly ascended.
Love how you kept digging really brought out a lot of things we would never know. Great episode! Subbed!
I havnt even watched this yet and I already know I’m going to love Bob more than I already do
When i first discovered bob 3 years ago i simply could not stop listening.
I’m one of the few 5% female that love Bob Does Sports. 😊
Bob is an absolute trooper for sitting through this. A serious interrogation and she wants to jump his bones so bad. Regardless bob is a beauty
She doesn’t really understand the difference between barstool and bob does sports. The company that owns 50% of BDS is more like barstool than bds is. Bob not mentioning ForePlay in this interview is criminal.
Much more respect to Bobby for answering these ridiculous questions!
Great interview. Bob is such an incredible content creator by far my favorite on youtube.
Fantastic interview with Bob... he's such a genuine person!
Bobby is the most genuine guy! Happy for you Bob. Great interview Jen!
Big Bob Does Sports fan! Now I’m a Habits & Hustle fan. Loved your interaction. Inspires me to do what I love and find a way to make it my money maker.
Ever since I've gotten back into golf, which was about a month ago, I've been watching his videos every day. He's a good entertainer, and his golf game is awesome.
He just a good genuine dude. It’s why his videos and brand has grown. I’ve put his stuff on to a lot of ppl.
I joined my small hometown country club shortly after starting my business, and it's been the #1 sales driver since. Paid for itself.
What a fantastic and awesome podcast! A lot of new information I had no idea behind the Bob Brand amazing!!
Standing at my fridge drinking pickle juice and laughing my ass off. Great interview!
Very riveting.....I even didn't want to pause it to get more refreshments. Great interview
I watch more Bob Does Sports than any form of television. Such great entertainment
Phenomenal podcast! Bob and the crew have been a fantastic addition to the weekly content online!
Great interview on both ends! Very enjoyable
Bobby giving all the details. Very transparent. 👏 👏 Bravo 👏 👏
really weird asking how much someone makes especially pushing it after u see he doesn't want to answer.
The difference between Bob and others in this arena is Bob just seems like a good dude and is kind and positive to others.
Bob is the best, love his channel. So humble and charismatic. Big things in the future 🍻
Bob is such a class act. Comes off as super genuine.
We are all truly blessed to have such a man
bob is everywhere! new to this channel but special stuff from the young man and jen
I have to give it to bob . He’s very impressive guy some much energy. I think he likes having a plate full of thinks going on in multitude of directions. I‘ve been following bob does sports . Now I know why I like this guy.
Who is bigger in the sports entertainment industry right now than Bobby B. This guy has the potential to be absolutely massive.
I'm not usually a podcast person but I've been watching the boys a lot and love the content for a long time. This was really great to understand a lot more about Robby, Bob Does Sports and how it all came together and works. Loved it and thank you for putting this together. Nice to see Robby is as nice a guy as I hoped he would be from watching their channel! Great stuff!
Loved this interview. Getting to know Bob is great.
Bob from Bob Does Sports is one of the best guests and speakers I have heard in a long time!!!!
The Windex sponsor is legendary. The selling fake ads is also how Barstool started. Dave Portnoy put random businesses in his newspapers at the time and would reach out to competing businesses/other businesses in that space and get them to compete for the ad space. Thats how they initially how him/Barstool launched and started earning revenue
Bobby fairways!!!!! This was a great listen during my walk.
Bob getting healthy eating advice while doing 50 taco challenges lol
This is great. Love Bob!
Bob is such a class act man. Great talk
Absolutely loved this. Hadn't seen Jenn before and you can consider me a follower now. Awesome.
She's seeing what all his subs see, A fun great guy with a killer attitude. Bob is a cool dude
What a guy man 👏🏽 happy for him he’s killing it
I'm amazed he can deal with all the business aspects & still generate the content; he must be a good judge of the partners he brings in to help deal with all that.
There’s two types of Internet personalities… there’s Bobby Berger annnnd… there’s everybody else. Authenticity is key. Go ahead young man!
Bob is the man! He has rejuvenated my love for the game of golf!
Love this interview! Love Bob! Such a genuinely good guy. Should put some text fixing his mistake on the 9 figure. So funny though and really well done interview!
THE ROCKET SHIP IS FLYING TO THE MOON.
Bobby Interviews doing it big time!
Great episode. Audio levels need to be boosted a bit though. Had to listen on full blast
We love Bobby. Couldn’t be a nicer guy. Joey, FP, jet, and ticket are all the best. The absolute best team on TH-cam, bobdoessports to the moon. Have a day. 🍻
Just glad TH-cam had this pop up. Bobby Fairways is just a fantastic personality/entertainer. Taking cold cuts to Torrey Pines is the best and they even have the bagels 🥯. I came because of his interview but also subscribed and will check out more content.
BOB DOES SPORTS TO MARS CAUSE THE MOON IS TOO FUCKING CLOSE! Bob and the crew are the best thing in golf TH-cam and just TH-cam in general, making golf so much more fun and growing the game in their own way.
Nice to see this side of Bob. I'm a subscriber and love the content. Nice to see the business side to him. If he ever wanted to add a Brit to the team I am available. Great cup of tea 😂
Huge fan of Bob does sports. He seems like a genuinely good person and is funny as hell. Keep it up Bob!
Jen please don’t interrupt so much and too much delving into how much money he and the others make. That is personal and Bob handled that like a champ! Otherwise great interview.
Nice little interview for the young man
Two takeaways.
Can’t believe Bob got/worth 100mil $ & Jen wants a piece of bob
She 100% wants a piece
He told her he's worth 100 million of course she wants a piece. 🤣🤣
Bob worth more then Connor McGregor lol
she is in love with Bob
He's not... He regrets saying that. Nate Edwardson made a reaction video about it and Bob asked him to take it down, implying that it was wrong and stating he's bad with numbers.
There's no doubt he's doing well, but its not accurate. Hats off to him though.
Robby is awesome. Just a genuine guy
Bob is so chill. She asks 5 questions at a time and he can barely answer.
Bob is the best. Great episode
solid pickup. bobby fairways is an insta click no matter what the content is. great interview.
What a guy that Bob is
Whatta guy! A guy that has just grinded to get everything he’s got. Guy is easy to root for.
Just found Bobby and love his show
Amazing interview 💪💪….all the BDS 🚀
This man is a legend already!!!
Bobby absolutely baffled he couldn’t land the bagel place
This kid is the best thing on TH-cam!
The interview we didn’t know we needed but will live forever! Bobby Berger!!
Bob does Good Good is the next evolution. Love the collab y’all did. Bob is the most positive guy I’ve ever seen. Love watching them play golf.
Am i the only one who could see these two together the energy is crazy
Bobby Fairways! Making golf breezy again!
My favourite channel!
Great interview, it flowed so well!
Bob is an amazing guy. He is a “every guys best friend” type of guy and so easy to relate to. The golf thing is a huge draw for those looking for a channel to watch but it is Bob’s, Joey’s and Fat Perez’s chemistry and charisma that is the big hook. It is addictive,
Here for Bobby boy but stayed for the podcast...run it back l'll definitely click back in for another listen ⛳
