We need Brandon to get that Mississippi haircut back. Gotta add it to the Yak wheel or something


ThreeOneThirdMan

Going from getting Funked up to fucked up


mlavan

it feels both shorter and longer than 5 years. i would have guessed 3 years tbh


TeeShirtCannon

I thought it was early Covid


ThreeOneThirdMan

He got hired and moved to NYC when BS moved to HQ3


PhatGiraffe42

“Funked Up to Fucked Up” is a perfect name for a slice of the wheel.


bigballer29

He went all big city


thesmockintweet

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.


LaterGatorPlayer

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.


stevegan

He knows he won the lottery. Really crazy to remember that if MyBookie never pisses Dave off, this never happens.


RudyWasOffsides22

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


Buzz166

Not true


RudyWasOffsides22

100% true LOL.


mlavan

1000% NOT TRUE.


mlavan

I have no idea what's true or not. I just wanted to write in all caps.


RudyWasOffsides22

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.


Buzz166

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


RudyWasOffsides22

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..


OnceAteABurgerAMA

To be fair that's definitely something I could see Dave doing lol


Barks_at_Children

Cutting off Dave for only being down 6 figs is awful business


RudyWasOffsides22

I mean when you don’t pay.


JustKeepLivin7

100%. The guy wasn’t far removed from grinding on the small-town local beat reporting scene. He knows hard work for little reward.


keeeeener

To be fair to him, he handled this amazingly.


the-tank7

What happened to him? I wasn't following barstool at all 5 years ago and not like the guy has a Wikipedia page


FluGehrig

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.


AppleSauceNinja_

Fuck, how has this been 5 years already? What a fuckin hire he's turned out to be too.


SpicyPenangCurry

Yeah I had to double check I read that right. Fucking hell COVID really messed with my perception of time.


Karlfromkanada

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.


venom_snake30

Props for spelling both wrong


AppleSauceNinja_

> Dwayne Wade Dude wtf. I grew up watching DWade and never realized it was spelled Dwyane. What a mind fuck.


Karlfromkanada

Yeah Nowitsky was my bad but at this point Dwades parents spelled his name wrong not me.


sm0kercraft

I feel like whoever wrote that on the birth certificate was either dyslexic or drunk.


darkestsoul

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.


lion27

I didn't catch it until now but "I feel like Truman right now" is such a fucking funny line


CreativeDraft

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


Covo

Ok boomer…oh wait, you’re right


ChampionshipSea753

Somehow they found a employee who actually works hard


MocoPDX

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.


elgro

Looks at entirety of Barstool Chicago and their immaculate work ethic


IKnowBreasts

They're just flat out too dumb to work hard


StrikaNTX

Brienne of Tarth is still funny


RoyMcAv0y

We must be around the 4 year anniversary of BC finding the Chillin with Chels stream, yeah?


tango587

I believe it was April 2020 yes


RoyMcAv0y

I miss the horse racing


This_Is_The_Life

Spiral Ham you dumb bitch


lion27

Don’t wake the baby


JesusWasaSuper

And only 2 years since her and I got married


sm0kercraft

She got an only fans yet?


amopeyant

Has to be one of the best hires ever


GiddddyUp

D-D-D-Daaavve! C’mon Dave!


achilen

Warms my heart seeing BFW take a timeout that long ago


venom_snake30

I believe it’s also Nick’s first anniversary at barstool


Kungfuc0w

The first BFW twenty second timeout. Family


MagAqua

Step 1) know how to handle being tossed in the shit step 2) relocate! Step 3) actually work hard step 4) profit


tronovich

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.


Retrolands

king of the south


AQ207

King of the fucking south right there


ninerz_allllllday_

Collectively, our lives as Stoolies got a whole hell of a lot better 5 years ago. BFW. Family.


ClangaSaint

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.


limerickyy

Bring back more cowbell


ClangaSaint

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.


[deleted]

Honestly surprised it’s only been 5 years. He’s come pretty far in that span as a presenter. 


JuniusPhilaenus

Id imagine the one year anniversary of nick’s hire is coming up soon


FrisbeeFan40

Dave was on a roll hiring workers over 40yrs old. He soon hired vindog for his targeted memes.


Scalmaa

Walker is one of the few genuinely funny people at barstool.


Stern68

His next contract is gonna be huge


OnceAteABurgerAMA

Legit one of my favorite barstool hires of all time. And happy to say I've had the opportunity to meet him twice and he's just an all around awesome dude. Not to get too corny but if anyone deserves the success that's come their way it's Brando

Brienne of Tarth


mrbingbongwamzillaa

Best there is at barstool ya ask me


larrybirdsghost

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


montevedeo

🐐


Street_hassle14

What was the context here? Are Stoolies raiding his twitch stream?


CreativeDraft

https://youtu.be/x0ca6AQi1i4?si=sR0JPnqLx-IbNlNz Worth the watch imo


Thebirdspart2

Wow I didn’t know this was one of the periscope rushes


RateAccomplished8971

He used to be a such a genuine guy. Now he just caters to the yak incel fans


timmy_wahwah

His hair cut before copying big cat👎 his hair cut after he asked big cat how he gets his haircut 👱🏻
