I think the issue, to me at least, is that they're putting out way too much content with way too many personalities. I get that it's giving them a ton of media exposure, but it's just too much.

On a side note, what happened to Riggs with the golf group? I haven't seen his stupid arse putting clips or any of him lately for that matter.


eta: Why is billy out for a month?

Billy didn’t show up for work one day last week then showed up drunk during their recording for PMT on zoom

Russillo was destroying Billy too on yesterdays show. I need to read his blog on what happened but apparently he just doesn’t get it.

Any other employer would fire him. I'm sure the shareholders don't particularly care for it.

Not that missing work because your hungover or drunk is acceptable I can kind of see how a guy his age could misread his situation. Barstool is a pretty unique office environment especially to be your first real job

I get it to a degree. In my early 20s I'd call into work "sick" when I was hungover. But I'd still do my job when I was at work. Billy hasn't provided any content or done his job since the Superbowl. He constantly bitches and complains and thinks he can do a better job than Big Cat and PFT. Russilo was on point with everything that he said. Two month long suspensions in a calendar year and he still gets to keep his job.

Maybe I've just aged out of Barstool, but I don't find hardly any of their stuff funny and most of it I end up embarrassed for the person as it's so cringy.

Portnoy is still hilarious though when he's trying to get people riled up

I’ve finally given up on PMT. I just listen for the interviews occasionally. Big Cat trying to give actual sports takes kinda ruined it for me. If I want legit sports discussion I’ll go elsewhere.

PMT is still good to me. Billy is a fricking idiot.

Rone and Sas’ podcast is pretty funny

Anything Caleb touches is gold

Mintzy is unintentionally hilarious

Sports Advisors is some of the best quality content they create. Would leave my family for Hannah.

Dave has fell off. Him moving to Miami is a bitch move

PMT has jumped the shark. It’s pretty good during football season and the occasional good guest but that’s it

The blog and the rundown were always central to barstool and now those two things have been pushed aside.

Didn’t show up to work to record PMT, then showed up drunk on a zoom after the finals game where they were taping for PMT and fell asleep during the recording.

Big Cat was clearly mad during the recording and then texted Billy “really shitty performance tonight” which Billy responded by “thumbs upping” the text.

He then doubled down on it saying that he was “entertaining clients” (lmao) that night and was tired. Then he said that big cat doesn’t understand how hard it is to have to blog in 2022 and show up on shows. Pissed BC off even more and the crew decided to suspend him for a month from appearing on PMT and Macrodosing.

Same inevitable stuff with Billy. They should’ve seen this coming when he asked for more than a month off of work last summer so he could live his best life after college. Billy just doesn’t get it and he doesn’t deserve the spot he’s in a Barstool. He has zero talent or drive.

This has happened 20 times to him now. He's not confused on whether he needs to show up to his job that starts at noon or not. He just thinks he's a superstar every six months or whatever.

Watch him on the lowering the bar tournament final. Legit might be the most unlikable person on earth. Crybaby pussy rich NYC kid who thinks he's this badass alpha outdoorsman.

They also really fricked up not keeping Nadu for another days worth of content. Just looking at his bangs is more than any of the others can contribute. Him hitting on ebony like he's the kid in the Bronx tale was all time.

Shout out to Jeff D. Lowe. He does a great job with the movie pod and the dozen.

Agreed. Barstool vs America was entertaining last summer too. I’ll probably watch season 2 when it comes out

This has annoyed me more and more as well. I listen to other pods for legitimate analysis/breakdown. I get that it’s necessary in small doses but that’s the majority of what it’s become these days
