Before I write anything else, I’d like to officially welcome all the "Stoolies" who clicked on this post about Alex Bennett – Clay Bennett's hot yet attainable if your parents are wealthy daughter-in-law behind the apparently successful Mean Girls podcast – to The Lost Ogle.
We're a weird flyover website that covers Oklahoma news, life and culture, including famous Oklahoma City alumni, which I guess means we’re obligated to write about Alex Bennett leaving the Barstool Sports network.
I’ve honestly never listened to her podcast, wouldn’t recognize Alex if I was buying her a Lunchbox at Edna’s, and think El Presidento is one of the worst things to pop out of the sphincter of the internet in the last 20 years, but I remember going to a Thunder game last season and my friend Chris being more focused on Alex sitting courtside with her husband than the actual game itself, so I figured I'd chase some bro clicks and write about her.
Anyway, Alex Bennett – a woman that some of our readers will remember as one of Jennifer “I’ve Had It!” Welch’s employees on the now defunct Brave unreality show Sweet Home Oklahoma – is officially a podcast free agent after parting ways with Barstool Sports.
If you’re not familiar with Barstool Sports, congratulations! Most of the civilized world is jealous of how out of touch you are with modern-day American pop culture.
If you want to get a visual, imagine 2008 Lost Ogle growing into a large, successful and controversial national social media brand – a modern-day man-child frat mag producing a stable of nationally known podcasters, social media influencers, and all sorts of other content that’s all owned and overseen by a guy who’s even more annoying, arrogant and better at escalating and exploiting feuds for attention than me.
