I don't think they are overly talented, and they are just kind of riding a wave of popularity right now. Their constant barrage of joke attempts exposes their lack of comedic timing, in my opinion. Ya, at some point you are bound to say something funny. As a mid 30's male their fratboy-style humor just doesn't resonate with me. 10 years ago I think it might have but im not even sure.

I go through their podcast on iTunes and look at the list of all these great guests and get super excited, and just find it hard to sit thru their 30min interviews filled with stupid jokes. There could be a better balance there in terms of goofiness and seriousness

I kind of feel the same way. I used to read Barstool all the time, but when Deflategate happened I stopped going there entirely.

I do like Big Cat, so the PMT stuff isn't horrible to me and can be entertaining, but I do get kind of tired of it and don't use it for my actual sports entertainment when that's what I'm looking for.

Did you hear the Teixiera interview? That was one of the best interviews they have done.

How did they fall arse backwards into the number one sports podcast for a solid year a half?

They put in a ton of work on that show and work nonstop on it. They keep the topics/jokes fresh for 3 shows a week and only take 2 breaks a year.

If you don't like them, that's cool, but to say they don't have a lot of talent is just ignorant
