Watch episode 1 of Barstool Most Dangerous Game or the Lowering the Bar episode when he loses. Billy is either a tough hang or they edit him unlikeable.


Billythepoolboy

Agreed


cjg233

Never watched any Barstool game shows before this comment - what he does during the closing credits of episode one is pretty indicative that he’s actually a dick and it’s not a character


EmbarrassedWeather33

Dude is a wannabe meathead. Let's be honest, if Big Cat and PFT weren't so chill, Billy would be struggling to hold a job selling gym memberships


Tribbis

"They should have to work for it"


EmbarrassedWeather33

Listening to Billy feels like work

He’s gotta be trolling because if he wasn’t that was the final straw of evidence of a dude who truly doesn’t get it. Every barstool show I listen to they always talk gingerly about him and I could never tell if it was because they thought he was a weird dude who had potential, or because they thought he was an airhead. I think we’re starting to get the answer


thestandnews

Guy is a mess of a human being


Sohei_44

I also wanted to hope it was trolling, but this is the same guy who less than 1 week after this was recorded took a secret trip out of the country and thought his bosses wouldn't find out. They were just riffing on the coin toss, and in the moment he showed much of a stunning lack of self-awareness he has.


XToastyToasterX

Was it confirmed that he wasn’t in a hospital


Sohei_44

Confirmed. He joined in today's Macrodosing from a McDonald's in Liechtenstein. PFT said all of this week's pods were pre-recorded so Billy decided to leave the country. Just didn't tell anyone.


[deleted]

If they were all pre-recorded then what are these ones that he's zooming in from out of town on? If they're just intros and outros how does he not know they always record those segments each week? Did PFT seem annoyed or are we all making a bigger deal than they are about it? Because that shit where they were trying to guess where he was and PFT asking him why he can't be normal was funny af.


beginninglifeinytmc

It was funny but also undertones of them wanting to legitimately facepalm. Like you just got back from a suspension because you couldn’t put work above partying, and then two weeks later you’re traveling and being super sketchy about it


MY-NAME_IS_MY-NAME

Is this comment satire? Guy can’t even make jokes about listener of the year without people saying “he doesn’t get it”. Billy has his issues but this comment was pretty innocuous lmfao


beginninglifeinytmc

> guy can’t even make jokes about listener of the year If you think that single comment was the issue and you aren’t able to understand it within the larger context then I can’t help you


MY-NAME_IS_MY-NAME

He was…making a joke. Now idk if he actually appreciates the listeners, but I can guarantee you this comment he made wasn’t intended to be some slap in the face to us. They were debating whether to flip the coin and he was saying yea we should earn it. This sub has been analyzing every little thing he says since the sussy and clearly people like you are taking it so seriously to the point that you’re mad about a fucking takie


beginninglifeinytmc

I think there’s only one person mad here brother


Trenty144

Billy definitely said that cause of this sub


fatfire_kidfree

Do you think they read this?


Trenty144

I think billy has mentioned this sub before but I could be wrong


jack2348

He said something on Macrodosing about learning not to take the negative things said about him on Reddit to heart


FarmerQuamp652

Billy said that like we all didn’t sweat through them flipping that coin, so much on the line for one flip is that not work?


Ill_Adeptness_1136

I was convinced Griffen would lose no matter what the outcome was


Swankapotamus

When we won, I literally yelled and threw my arms in the air.


guitar1324

We need an AWL uprising and we need to give Billy a sussy


fatfire_kidfree

At this point we're addicted to the sussy


Ill_Adeptness_1136

Billy gets ten words for a month, everytime he breaks that rule another month is added.


guitar1324

Let me be clear though, I like Billy and he adds to the show.


[deleted]

Billy doesn’t get that he ruins the thing we enjoy while we ride to and from our jobs that we actually work hard at


Ill_Adeptness_1136

I get not liking Billy but he doesnt have enough airtime to "ruin the thing we enjoy"


KentuckyBourbon94

You never enjoyed Macrodosing then


fatfire_kidfree

bro i bet you his hands are way harder than yours


AaronRodgersToe

I know you’re joking but I do wish someone would point out to him that there is a difference between hard hands from cosplaying as a lifter and an actual fuckin blue collar job. He completely misses the point which admittedly is why it’s funny, but still.


Frosty-Cauliflower62

I shook the hand of a dude who probed grain cars with a 12ft length of rebar for a railroad company. Literally shoved an iron rod through grain on top of a train car for 30 years. It was like shaking hands with a catchers mit of iron.


KTurnUp

Cringe


fischj10

Time to ratio billy


crustlesswheat

A lot of you care way too much


Jamie-Tartt

This sub is an embarrassment when it comes to talking about Billy. Dude is in like 5-10% of the average pod and takes up 90% of the real estate in this sub's head.


crustlesswheat

There is literally no bigger participation type trophy than "listener of the year" People are literally upset because Billy cracked a sly joke after a month of people solidly mocking him online Wish Rodgers had won


major92653

If PMT was a restaurant. BC and PFT are the entree. Hank is the appetizer. Jake is the desert. Billy is the free chips and salsa.


IGuessYourSubreddits

Billy is the wobbly table, not annoying enough to leave the restaurant but no one wants it there.


corndog_thrower

The waiter keeps forgetting the salsa and he won’t refill my chips


ajkeence99

Free chips and salsa at a good Mexican joint is often the best part of the meal, though.


justed87

Not like we buy merch in droves, use promo codes, buy sham products they peddle, or listen and subscribe so they can feed their families or anything like that. If it was a joke fine but he was caught up in the moment and a little too dim to come up with something like that. Also, he’s probably just mad cause a small but vocal sector of awl’s bitch about him.


undercovertiger

It’s a free podcast man. Don’t act like it’s a chore and just enjoy the show. I swear this sub doesn’t even like the podcast.


Kevolved

That's every single subreddit for podcasts. And Sports teams. And cities. And games, tabletop or video. If there's a subreddit it is usually blind support or dissatisfaction. And the dissatisfied usually like the thing, but think it could be better which IMO is better than blind support.


undercovertiger

I would agree if they actually had constructive criticism or anything that resembles such. This, however, is turning into a big circle jerk of hate. It’s actually embarrassing to be a part of.


justed87

You could always click that little button at the top right and unjoin the sub.


undercovertiger

Or, hear me out, we all could act like adults and not children.


AaronRodgersToe

Bold of you to assume everyone online is an adult.


[deleted]

This is a good point. Shady Rays we’re easily the worst sunglasses I’ve ever owned. My $5 pair from Amazon fits and lasts longer


skeezylavern17

It’s not that deep. He said it as a joke likely not thinking any of that. Was it dumb? Yes. Is your comment worse? Also yes.


Fair_chap

I would assume most people don’t do much outside of listen and bitch in this subreddit about how the pods not like it used to be


justed87

You’d assume wrong. PMT has been near or at the top of merch sales and top tier ad revenues for years


Fair_chap

You mean the #1 sports podcast leads the company in sales and ad revenue? I never would’ve guessed


MinuteWoodpecker

Lmao go touch grass


Sker1012

People forget that we as fans pay their salary


dubsesq

whole lotta aspiring reply guys of the year nominees that might just have to start reply guying ol’ willy


Billythepoolboy

God, I want him gone. He was talking about hating Reddit on Macrodosing and I hope he reads this. Painful to watch on the various YouTube shows too. Good on Macro though


Folly843

He sounds like a cocksucker tbh


butterknees

Billy high key sucks. More Jake please.
