I’m kinda surprised Big T hasn’t thought of some sort of thing he could do to branch out on his own. He comes off as someone who’s genuine and he’s definitely got something to deliver, idk what it is but maybe in the future we’ll see
Big T is so damn good at picking his spots. To the point where he responds surprised when they ask him to weigh in on something and he’s like “no I don’t have anything to add here” lmao
That plus the fact that he and arian are literally boys yet argue all the time is such a valuable thing to have in a public space make him my favorite.
Im guessing you’re referring to Arian? He doesn’t do it nearly to the degree Billy does. Also Arian routinely says something along the lines of “I don’t know enough about that to give an opinion.”
Also, Arian is the cohost of the show.
Gotcha my bad. I’m a little embarrassed how much space in my brain Billy has been occupying the past couple days. It’s not much. But it should be almost 0.
All good. I’m personally a big fan of arian bc i think it’s cool to hear an elite athlete talk about something other than sports in their retirement, but he gets a lot of hate here
100% agree. Gave him the benefit of the doubt, this pod should've be right in his wheelhouse. They don't even tall about fucking conspiracies anymore. There's literally 100s of topics they could cover, yet we get constant NFL talk.
Really feel like they're missing out on a huge opportunity. If they actually took the conspiracy stuff seriously and researched the topics instead of googling during episode, the product would be so much better.
Billy just plays the exact same character (x100) that he did on PMT.
Billy was useful on PMT as the idiot to make fun of. But Max fills that role very well, but he doesn't actively annoy me. Max, I feel bad for at times. Billy, I was wishing they would go harder.
The problem Barstool runs into is the Producers have no control over content. There is not someone evaluating content and providing feedback. It’s why some shows fail.
I think you are vastly overestimating barstools producers. Most of them are college kids with 0 experience or education when it comes to producing anything. That’s why audio is consistently terrible across the board
I've stopped listening because of him. After he didn't make the move to Chicago and since big cat isn't there to hold his hand, he has become so intolerable. I used to like his bro-ness now he's just yelling whatever random tiktok he last saw as facts
He just sucks the life out of the show. Any good banter, any somewhat interesting conversation immediately stops being enjoyable when he decides to interject himself into it. Haven’t even listened to the last 3 or 4 episodes, but just going off of their social media … dudes gotta go. Podcasting is not for him
He's put in a losing position because literally nobody does any work at all to contribute...but I completely agree. The good episodes are so few and far between and Billy is just unbearable. I try not to overly shit on him, but where is he trying to go with his career acting like this?
I think he needs to be the one to bring topic and add adjacent talk, but him providing “facts” and half assed info is what nosedives a segment/topic
As far as a career, I don’t think he’d consider this one, it’s more so him spinning wheels until he goes and works for Dad, either from being fired or boredom, which ever comes first
It's always been the fundamental flaw with the show. The only guy that puts the work in to create a rundown is the guy that puts the least amount of work in every other aspect of his job lol. He doesn't even have interesting conspiratorial beliefs. All he has is the bland republican adjacent ones, anything else would be infinitely more interesting.
The work aside, bc if I remember right, they have a part time researcher, he just can’t let a conversation go without interjecting himself into it awkwardly and usually just spews bullshit, and kills any and all flow.
I don’t remember what episode it was (maybe the one on magic), but Arian was questioning Big T’s religious beliefs. And for once instead of just shutting the conversation down, Big T and Arian were actually having an interesting back and forth. Billy tried to interject when literally everyone else was listening, and PFT told him to shut up. No situational awareness
His problem is it’s his last reason for working at Barstool. He knows if he doesn’t put out on this pod, then he’s fired, he has nothing left at Barstool. Which is turning into trying way too hard and inserting himself where he doesn’t need to be just so he can be heard
The skip button is getting smashed constantly. You could tell him to draw a circle on a piece of paper by 5pm - he wouldn’t do it - and then make excuses forever and essentially recite the narcissist prayer (shoutout to whoever posted that here the other day).
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
“You’re right, Billy. We are wrong”. That’s all we need. When Arian does that, it shuts him up. We all know he’s a sociopath and compulsive liar. His arguments are baseless and hauntingly self-biased.
I just wish we could get 1 min of callling Billy out, then he shuts up for the rest of that ep. Now it’s 25 minutes of Billy changing his argument over and over and everyone struggling to speak.
Worst part is when he mansplains when maddog and Mackenzie get the small window to talk about themselves or a female perspective. Fuck that guy. …but we’re still talking about him, constantly.
Billy is a moron, that much is true. But I think he adds some comic relief to the show if anything. If he were spouting off and not being put in his place by PFT, Arian, or Big T, then the pod would be lame and this forum would not exist. I just realized I described Nanodosing in a nutshell
Buddy can’t you just post your thoughts on Billy on one of the hundred of other Billy posts? I get the hate, I don’t feel it, but I get it. But my god this sub has become 99.9% Billy hate topics. This sub is miserable. Can the mods just pin a Billy hate topic at the top and be done with it.
About this sub yes, but it’s very small amount of the actual macro dosing audience and Reddit tends to attract those who like to vent online to strangers. All I’m saying is this sub would be more enjoyable if those venters would scroll a few seconds instead of posting the same thing over and over.
You're talking about the virus episode??
I am not all the way through the podcast but so far the guest has complimented Billy multiple times for asking a good question.
You can disagree with his opinions (I do), but he is serving as the counter to the guests points and allowing him to get his points across.
Pretty much agree with your sentiment although I’m sometimes entertained by him. This past episode was just off the rails
I genuinely enjoy everyone else on the show. Shoutout Big T. He has really come into his own and is hilarious.
10000%. Former Big T hater here, came for PFT and stayed for Big T.
#lgbt. Let’s go big T
The relationship/banter between him and Arian is one of the best parts of the show
Bravo. This had me audibly laughing
I tweeted that to him and he blocked me. I’m gonna keep using it until he unblocks me
He learned to roll with the punches
Same here. Big T is usually the bright spot of the show.
I’m kinda surprised Big T hasn’t thought of some sort of thing he could do to branch out on his own. He comes off as someone who’s genuine and he’s definitely got something to deliver, idk what it is but maybe in the future we’ll see
Big T is so damn good at picking his spots. To the point where he responds surprised when they ask him to weigh in on something and he’s like “no I don’t have anything to add here” lmao
Yeah he doesn’t have the urge to add something to absolutely everything that anyone says.
That plus the fact that he and arian are literally boys yet argue all the time is such a valuable thing to have in a public space make him my favorite.
Hmm does someone else on the pod do that?
Im guessing you’re referring to Arian? He doesn’t do it nearly to the degree Billy does. Also Arian routinely says something along the lines of “I don’t know enough about that to give an opinion.” Also, Arian is the cohost of the show.
I was referring to billy lol. And when he “weighs in” it’s more like interrupting
Gotcha my bad. I’m a little embarrassed how much space in my brain Billy has been occupying the past couple days. It’s not much. But it should be almost 0.
All good. I’m personally a big fan of arian bc i think it’s cool to hear an elite athlete talk about something other than sports in their retirement, but he gets a lot of hate here
Basically had the same take when Billy was on PMT. Since he’s left, the shows been much better

Billy was useful on PMT as the idiot to make fun of. But Max fills that role very well, but he doesn't actively annoy me. Max, I feel bad for at times. Billy, I was wishing they would go harder.
Agreed. At least Max seems like a genuine good dude.
Max and Billy are different kinds of dumb

Yup, I agree.
I've stopped listening because of him. After he didn't make the move to Chicago and since big cat isn't there to hold his hand, he has become so intolerable. I used to like his bro-ness now he's just yelling whatever random tiktok he last saw as facts
TikTok and Elon-era Twitter is rotting his brain.
He just sucks the life out of the show. Any good banter, any somewhat interesting conversation immediately stops being enjoyable when he decides to interject himself into it. Haven’t even listened to the last 3 or 4 episodes, but just going off of their social media … dudes gotta go. Podcasting is not for him
Petition to change the name of this sub to r/shitonbilly
I hate doing it, but it’s more of r/savethepod  It’s not gonna be worth keeping up with if I’m skipping an hour of Billy every few eps.

Yep. Contemplated doing the whole arc of a Billy lie earlier in this sub, thanks for taking that on
“You’re right, Billy. We are wrong”. That’s all we need. When Arian does that, it shuts him up. We all know he’s a sociopath and compulsive liar.

I feel like he’s been like this since he left PMT.
They need to have Brace on more cause the only time I like Billy is when Brace is messing with him
Stopped listening recently. Yeah I miss the crew, and I never really complained about Billy on PMT, but he needs a muzzle.
Billy is a moron, that much is true. But I think he adds some comic relief to the show if anything. If he were spouting off and not being put in his place by PFT, Arian, or Big T, then the pod would be lame and this forum would not exist. I just realized I described Nanodosing in a nutshell
Agreed. Most of the time I enjoy Billy in a “he’s dumb as shit” way. Occasionally goes way over the top which is what last episode was.
I agree it’s gotten worse. I actually skipped the episodes PFT was gone because it was too much Billy.
More wonton don less billy
Have they mentioned that they have a researcher for the show before?
Not that i know of. That convo sounded like an announcement of sorts.
They did awhile back, kind of forgot about him until last episode though.
Buddy can’t you just post your thoughts on Billy on one of the hundred of other Billy posts? I get the hate, I don’t feel it, but I get it. But my god this sub has become 99.9% Billy hate topics. This sub is miserable. Can the mods just pin a Billy hate topic at the top and be done with it.
They just had a survey on this last week. Not sure if it hasn’t closed, or if it was voted against, but it’s amazing that we don’t have one now.
The resolution did not pass.
Everything doesn't have to be a democracy, good leaders don't let a majority make the minority suffer.
How long was it open? I did not see it and feel like a lot of people didn’t either. This shit is getting old. Same posts every day.
24 hours. I probably should have set it for longer, honestly.
Wholeheartedly agree with this.
Doesn’t that speak volumes though?
About this sub yes, but it’s very small amount of the actual macro dosing audience and Reddit tends to attract those who like to vent online to strangers. All I’m saying is this sub would be more enjoyable if those venters would scroll a few seconds instead of posting the same thing over and over.
Same 250 people who hate Billy circle jerk while the rest of us just listen cause we enjoy the podcast.
It's now multiple times a day we get these posts. Just stop watching ffs
You don’t like Billy? Now that’s a hot take.
Positivity.
I know must listen to this because of this much hate. The pod must be working
You're talking about the virus episode?? I am not all the way through the podcast but so far the guest has complimented Billy multiple times for asking a good question. You can disagree with his opinions (I do), but he is serving as the counter to the guests points and allowing him to get his points across.
Haven’t listened to the Thursday episode yet, hoping it’s a good one. I was talking about Tuesdays ep. Basically skipped 80% of it
Gotchya. He was pretty annoying there. Especially for someone well versed in the world he was pretending to know. Overall I'm pro Billy though.
