They were putting One Big Thing on the same feed as their new podcast and people were livid. I think they were hopeful for more pods and just got 3 minutes of SVP. They joked about it quite a bit on the last one they did.

Maybe. And I don’t mean to say he’s some huge Trump guy. I think he does like him. They are very similar in character lol. And to be honest, I don’t think anyone is super MAGA at barstool. There’s probably republicans but I don’t think anyone just loves Trump.

Now their fan base is a different animal.

But they all stay out of politics in any serious manner. Which I like. But you can get a feeling based on their jokes about which way they lean.


PFT seems pretty right leaning to me

He’s in character almost 100 percent of the time that’s why it seems that why and he’s not afraid to crack jokes on anyone. But at the end of the day he’s an English writing major from the east coast and isn’t totally comfortable with the shite that barstool gets into

I think it's more of having RR on the BS podcast and it going so well. They probably looked at the numbers and realized this needed to be a regular thing.
I think it was somewhat this, and also with The Ringer being based out of California, it's just easier than having to split time and keep taking trips out to the Northeast. With it working out so well with The Ringer, they probably felt comfortable giving him more money, so he didn't have to stay on with ESPN for financial reasons (I'm assuming that's partially why he stayed on with them to begin with). I hope Bill has him on weekly during the NBA season, and Ryen can also do weekly Dual Threat football pods.

Hopefully ryen replaces that gas bag douche Fennessey on the rewatchables pod


You're calling out Fennessey on the same show that trots out Mallory and Jason Concepcion regularly?

Interdasting.

they come off as try-hard nerds, which to be fair, they most likely are. this typically makes them quite good at writing, but not that great at podcasting or other shite. there's no actual problem and they seem like good dudes, but very meh on most of them


Yeah this is exactly how I feel

Im 100 percent sure this came down to him not wanting Russillo splitting content anymore.
Probably has more to do with Russillo's contract with ESPN being up August 31.
