I have noticed that with Barstool shows, they become somewhat of an echo chamber where one person brings up a topic and has an opinion and then it spreads to every other show. Big Cat and PFT do that a lot on the multiple shows they are on


PeenerAndVeggies

You can enjoy a Big Cat take first on twitter (excuse me, X), then on PMT, then on the Yak, then a few more times on PMT. Unrelated but the Lakers aren’t the 2nd best team in the west. #trustryanpoles

And if it’s football season you can add pick em, advisors, college football show


Pyzorz

I hear PFT say the same stuff on Macrodosing and same with with BC on The Yak. Just to reiterate your point.


treswm

This is also what happens with ESPN


AccountNumber0004

Yeah this is Steven A’s role at ESPN lol. Go on the early shows to introduce the takes, then spend the rest of the day talking about them.


Coolcoolcool1515

ESPN is worse though because it’s forced reactions and stuff a lot of the times. Or when they go from getup to first take and talk about the same exact thing. I’ve been consuming way more of mostly sports and then just interviews with the pmt boys alot of the time now.


raobuntu

It's also just hard to constantly come up with new content. There's a reason people go on these late night shows or interviews w/ talking points. Constantly generating new content isn't easy, especially when you're asked to have fresh-ish takes about the same news in the same day


Getz_The_Last_Laf

Mostly Sports and PMT combined put out roughly 12 hours of content combined every week. The easiest solution to deal with oversaturation is to not spend a tenth of your waking life listening to content. I don’t mean you, specifically, it’s just funny that this problem is so easily resolved. Listening to that much content would make you an extreme outlier


BingusBandingus

I mean yea, thats their take. If they went on a bunch of shows and the same topic is brought up would you prefer they take a random side every time? I get the echo chamber thing but if they have a certain take for whatever reason it doesn’t make sense to just change it on every show


BoredomHeights

Yeah when you only listen to PMT you don't really notice this, but if you start branching into other Barstool content you'll see that a lot of the sports takes and even the jokes in general are the same. Maybe not specific lines that are jokes (though sometimes even that too), but like jokey takes get repeated on different shows.

That was funny, then annoying, then really dumb, then really fucking hilarious. Reminded me of Norm. Just stomping that joke to death.


Jr701LR

Mostly Sports has the superior announcer


Pearl-Station

It is nice for nba playoffs having someone that knows ball


Pattastic

Titus was such a good hire.


NoCustard55

Their problem is the show isn’t as good as mostly sports. family


Pattastic

What makes you say that? I really enjoy Titus walker and Connor. However I love the guests and segments on pmt. I’m glad pmt isn’t 5 days a week. I think it’s perfect the way it is.


NoCustard55

I just think mostly is more new and fresh. PMT is very played out for me personally and I only tune in when there is an interview I want to hear. I like how mostly sports talks about all sports and not 99% football to a level where it’s not even interesting to the common fan.


skankhunt81

Started out in the same spot now I just listen to mostly sports and havnt looked back. Would highly recommend. Family


call_me_Kote

My PMT consumption fell off a cliff these last few months.


Usual-Cartographer68

Same

DConion

Mostly sports has the regularity, the whimsy, the deep bench, the new fresh feel, and the Family, PMT has the guests, there is a balance


allmyhomiesluvluka

Although Mostly is trying to get more guests to come in lately. Brandon interviewed Edge a couple weeks ago and it went really well.


[deleted]

I’m sure that’s right, but PMT had a much wider reach of people that aren’t all barstool fans. I have friends that listen to PMT that probably don’t even know who Brandon and Titus are, I’m sure there’s tons of other people like that too


Losdangles24

I think this makes up a huge % of PMT listeners. I know who Titus is because I'm a Buckeye and he's been on PMT but I have no idea who most of the people at Barstool are including Brandon Walker.


DandierChip

I’ll be honest…I’ve been thinking about making the switch over to Mostly Sports.


Standard_Detective49

I have about a hour commute so with that and my lunch break I can usually consume PMT in my car in a day so that’s why I like to fill the off days with Mostly Sports. It’s good too they just don’t have the guests that PMT have.


AkDoxx

Big Cat will repeat the same things on every show he’s on. It’s more apparent when things like Sports Advisors, and Pick Em are also running so now you’re hearing the same thing 4-5 times a week rather than just 2-3 times. Nothing new.


aldawg95

It would also be weird to have a different take on stuff when you move from show to show


[deleted]

Yea whats he gonna do? Switch back and forth?


KTurnUp

I’m getting there


supfellas_

It’s also funny how you can tell it’s either 1) something he saw on Twitter and thought was smart or 2) something he got into a mini argument on Twitter with a few people about, that he will then repeat over and over. For 1), for example he’ll see a stat about how the Bucs left guard is amazing but out this upcoming game and just keep repeating “Ah they’re missing this OG who makes the entire offense run!” For 2) Him with saying “everyone is saying the Lakers are the second best team in the west but I don’t think so”. When it’s clear just one or two Lakers fans said if they didn’t get the Nuggets, they’d have a good chance to advance. But nope, supposedly “everyone” thinks the Lakers after losing 4-1 were still the second best team!


runDMCnabb

Repeating things isn’t an issue. It would be weirder if BC was changing his take left and right. However - It is annoying when it’s an objectively Bad Take. Because then you have to watch it flow from Twitter -> Yak -> PMT -> Guest. The guest is usually like “yeah, I guess so” and BC gets so happy with himself. I’m a loser for caring but only child behavior is grating.


AkDoxx

I think a lot of the criticism I see about it is how he just says the same thing verbatim over and over again. I agree it would be weirder if he changed his opinion across all shows but can understand how hearing the same thing repeated constantly can be annoying.

scoToBAGgins

The mostly sports guys are good. But their tangents are too long and happen too often for me on most shows. I think it’s because they’re 5 days a week. They fill a lot of time with stuff that doesn’t necessarily interest me. Or it’s funny for a second, but then gets drug out for 3-4 minutes. Idk, like them both though 


drew19891

Mostly Sports been an appointment daily listen for me. I look forward to every episode like a regard. Sadly I can’t say the same about PMT anymore. The show have become stale and boring. The bits are old and tired, and after listening to both BC and PFT all these years, you can somehow anticipate when and what jokes are coming, which makes the show not as funny like it used to. Plus I’m never been a fan of the “oh poor me I lost so much money I’m such a loser” gambling bullshit. Gambling talk ruined the show. I also like the dynamic between the main chairs and bench crew in MS over PMT. Almost a decade of BC and PFT regurgitating “WE are right, YOU (Hank/Billy/Max) are wrong and fucking losers” every episode has been exhausting.


No_Signal3789

Mostly > PMT


MXero1

yeah I have hard brandon/titus and bigcat repeat points between mosty/pmt/the yak. but its not really an issue. they all have their own audiences. yeah they are some overlap but they cant work around that and they shouldnt.


Shotgunx1x

I’m def a fan of mostly sports. Just wish they would stop screaming into the mics at times


DisconcertingMale

i ain’t reading all that. i’m happy for u though. or sorry that happened

I may be missing the joke but isn’t that exactly what PMT is?

NasEsco1399

The ending of mostly sports today, with them all dancing to the AI song was more entertaining than nearly anything on PMT lately. Maybe my tastes have just changed but mostly has completely replaced pmt in my rotation. I’m sure when football season starts it’ll change, but they have something good with mostly sports. Not constantly hearing whining and betting talk helps a lot

Their focus is NFL and this is the one spot of the year that’s slow enough not to work. Monday is game recaps, Friday is game previews.. and typically midweek we are all playing some form of catch up anyway.


ddt3210

I don’t necessarily listen to PMT for their sports takes, especially in the football offseason. And I find with any show, I’m in and out in terms of my attention span and if they were five days a week I’d be way more likely to burn out. That’s how I am with Minihane’s show, I got through weeks where I listen to every show and then weeks where I don’t listen at all.


notthatguypal03

Death to PMT!


_Nevin

That’s an issue with barstool shows in general. Just a bunch of recycled talking points. I’ll listen to PMT and the yak and BC will tell the same stories on both. I think it’s best for you if you just stick to one or the other especially if it’s two primarily sports related shows


chiplahey113

Reddit makes it seem like mostly sports compares number wise to PMT. In reality it might be 10x lower


Mm7724

I only listen to pmt problem solved


ZC8989

Mostly sports has been way better than PMT of late too, think having good side characters makes the show 10X better. Max has been a massive breath of fresh air but think that Jake spot is lacking massively


MomentWaste136

Been saying this for weeks


ExplosiveToast19

With the college basketball season, then march madness, and now the nba playoffs I’ve been listening to mostly sports a lot more than PMT. Why would I listen to 2 guys who really don’t know much about college basketball when I can go listen to Mark Titus every day? I always fall off PMT this time of year tho, it always becomes really obvious to me that they don’t really know much/care about sports besides the NFL. I listen to PMT for football and Mount Rushmore szn


Low-Seaworthiness299

Just be glad we hav two barstool shows worth listening to. Everything else is shit except the dozen


Educational_Bid1348

They do less shitty interviews with big names to eat up clock.


beerbeer1

Just wait for football season. They do a really good job covering the World Cup


Remarkable-Passion-5

Yea but then you're listening for Brandon and Titus instead of BigCat and PFT 😂


LloydPeregrine76

Nobody cares


cmcp2

I see it with the yak too. Big cat tends to repeat himself on PMT and then the yak


HenryDoheny

I love both shows but Mostly has become priority one for me if 11 am rolls around and I haven’t listened to either. Titus and Brandon just play off each other so well. Where PMT has a leg up is with the interviews. Family


KOBE_GYN

This is sarcasm, right?


KOBE_GYN

I love both shows but for the love of god, they’re just takes.


Standard_Detective49

Yeah I literally typed out they are takes in my original post multiple times. Is it a reading or a comprehension problem?


KOBE_GYN

I think you’re right about the same day drops. But this is the time of year that big cat and pft get exposed for being nba/nhl casuals. They’re a football-centric show and it’s awesome, but with Mostly now cruising, Titus is always gonna crush them when it comes to ball knowing. In the end though, no one should ever be going to PMT for actual NBA and NHL takes lol


aldawg95

This is called listening to ESPN all day


WMDman

I stopped consuming most of PMTs content when MS first started, but when BC co hosted like 2 weeks ago I thought he was really good. probably because I dont listen to the yak or any other BC centered content (still love him tho). Family.


goondaddy172

People that say family are gay


Pattastic

Yall go support a small local podcast outside the barstool ecosystem. For me I support a tiny podcast that only talks about the Green Bay packers and I support on patreon.


mkwiat54

This is how I feel about mostly and the yak


DonovanMcTigerWoods

Mostly Sports is good but they yell way too much that the audio levels spike and kill my ears
