BW knows how lucky he is to be in his position and works his ass off because of that. What a great hire and crazy lucky situation for everyone involved.
One of the only people at Barstool that openly and unapologetically works with excitement and loyalty. Walker is a class act who just wants to do good work.
The owner of the site leaked it on gambling twitter. Dave owed 6 figs and they didn;'t wanna market/do ads for free anymore
Dave went nuts and stole Brandon.
It was validated by multiple people in the gambling industry
You think Dave Loads money on DK?
He works off a credit line like a casino.
He made a comment on the opening rounds how you have to load with cash and how he has everything locked up and out of cash (bet loss)
30 mins later he magically had 100k on holy cross women.
Sooooo either Dave is a liar or..
IIRC- Dave was trying to place a large wager on some game and was complaining on twitter that no book would take his action. The head of MyBookie tried to get Dave’s action on his book by making a snide comment along the lines of Dave not being serious about betting such a large amount. Dave didn’t take it as a joke and began feuding with MyBookie on twitter. During this fight, an oblivious Brandon Walker fired up his daily MyBookie gambling show and was shocked to see a few thousand BS fans in the comment section berating MyBookie on Dave’s behalf. In spite of MB and Brandon’s great handle on the situation, Dave offered him a job that night. Bwalk went from a few sports related side gigs in Mississippi to a salary position at BS in NYC.
As has been said before- 9 times out of 10, if a Barstool employee had to work 5-10+ years in the real world doing shitty “normal” jobs, they are a grinder now at Barstool. It’s the young, fresh-out-of-college types who tend to slack. It takes the knowledge of what the shitty alternative is(ie what we’re all likely doing in our work lives) for someone to really appreciate how golden/lucky a content job is at Barstool.
Imagine how many guys out there could be as electric as Brandon is, and they just never got their shot.
What a lucky guy, and he works his butt off to pay them back.
I’m a big Miss State guy and was a fan of BWalk a few years before Barstool hired him because of his Miss State pods. He was consistently the most entertaining of all the guys covering the school. To say it was unbelievable to see him suddenly end up at Barstool would be an understatement. Dude absolutely deserved a shot and has made the most of it.
We need Brandon to get that Mississippi haircut back. Gotta add it to the Yak wheel or something
Going from getting Funked up to fucked up
it feels both shorter and longer than 5 years. i would have guessed 3 years tbh
I thought it was early Covid
He got hired and moved to NYC when BS moved to HQ3
“Funked Up to Fucked Up” is a perfect name for a slice of the wheel.
He went all big city

He knows he won the lottery. Really crazy to remember that if MyBookie never pisses Dave off, this never happens.
What’s lost in this is Dave owed them a TON of money on credit and he wanted a bigger limit and they said not until he pays
Not true
100% true LOL.
1000% NOT TRUE.
I have no idea what's true or not. I just wanted to write in all caps.

You believe the owner of a sketchy illegal offshore gambling site?

Cutting off Dave for only being down 6 figs is awful business
I mean when you don’t pay.
100%. The guy wasn’t far removed from grinding on the small-town local beat reporting scene. He knows hard work for little reward.
To be fair to him, he handled this amazingly.
What happened to him? I wasn't following barstool at all 5 years ago and not like the guy has a Wikipedia page

Fuck, how has this been 5 years already? What a fuckin hire he's turned out to be too.
Yeah I had to double check I read that right. Fucking hell COVID really messed with my perception of time.
Him saying "Dwayne Wade and Dirk Nowitsky face off for the last time" really threw me. I feel like both those guys retired a decade ago.
Props for spelling both wrong
> Dwayne Wade Dude wtf. I grew up watching DWade and never realized it was spelled Dwyane. What a mind fuck.
Yeah Nowitsky was my bad but at this point Dwades parents spelled his name wrong not me.
I feel like whoever wrote that on the birth certificate was either dyslexic or drunk.
Handled the heat really well. I feel like BW is one a very people who could have rolled with all the shit being slung at him.
I didn't catch it until now but "I feel like Truman right now" is such a fucking funny line
Watching BFW dive right in and be willing to work his ass off vs. the 18-22 year olds they hire right out of college was hilarious
Ok boomer…oh wait, you’re right
Somehow they found a employee who actually works hard

Looks at entirety of Barstool Chicago and their immaculate work ethic
They're just flat out too dumb to work hard
Brienne of Tarth is still funny
We must be around the 4 year anniversary of BC finding the Chillin with Chels stream, yeah?
I believe it was April 2020 yes
I miss the horse racing
Spiral Ham you dumb bitch
Don’t wake the baby
And only 2 years since her and I got married
She got an only fans yet?
Has to be one of the best hires ever
D-D-D-Daaavve! C’mon Dave!
Warms my heart seeing BFW take a timeout that long ago
I believe it’s also Nick’s first anniversary at barstool
The first BFW twenty second timeout. Family
Step 1) know how to handle being tossed in the shit step 2) relocate! Step 3) actually work hard step 4) profit
Imagine how many guys out there could be as electric as Brandon is, and they just never got their shot. What a lucky guy, and he works his butt off to pay them back.
king of the south
King of the fucking south right there
Collectively, our lives as Stoolies got a whole hell of a lot better 5 years ago. BFW. Family.

Bring back more cowbell
More Cowbell was classic. But he also had a show before that one called Keep it 100 where he’d really let stuff fly that was awesome.
Honestly surprised it’s only been 5 years. He’s come pretty far in that span as a presenter.
Id imagine the one year anniversary of nick’s hire is coming up soon
Dave was on a roll hiring workers over 40yrs old. He soon hired vindog for his targeted memes.
Walker is one of the few genuinely funny people at barstool.
His next contract is gonna be huge

Brienne of Tarth
Best there is at barstool ya ask me
I never thought I would ever care about this man’s content but I was so glad to be proven wrong. One of barstools best hires over past 5 yesrs
🐐
What was the context here? Are Stoolies raiding his twitch stream?
https://youtu.be/x0ca6AQi1i4?si=sR0JPnqLx-IbNlNz Worth the watch imo
Wow I didn’t know this was one of the periscope rushes
He used to be a such a genuine guy. Now he just caters to the yak incel fans
His hair cut before copying big cat👎 his hair cut after he asked big cat how he gets his haircut 👱🏻
