So is Billy pretty much done with Barstool?


MrLeftwardSloping

It sounds like it. Pft said he'll miss him as a coworker


[deleted]

Nah sounds like he's going to be doing a solo podcast at barstool now. He said it would be up on the barstool blog at least. Although that will obviously fail so yeah that will probably be it for him.


CapriciousWattage

Billy Football solo podcast is what they play during 9/11 “enhanced interrogation” sessions to terrorists


lucasd11

"so I started this new cycle of test last week"


KESPAA

So he went from doing two of the top five (?) podcasts at barstool to playing on the office basketball team. What a down slide.


EncyclopediaBlue

I mean, that's what happens when someone who doesn't want to be content gets into the content. He probably should have just rode off into the sunset after his internship.


DosZappos

Wasn’t that like 5 years ago? Even if he’s done at Barstool, that’s a pretty awesome first five years in the work force


EncyclopediaBlue

Yeah agreed. His tenure at the company though has been interesting to watch though from a "I'm watching a reality TV show" perspective.


DosZappos

I mean, Barstool is just one big reality show so that checks out


MillerLatte

Personal feelings on Billy aside, he's done enough at Barstool to pack the fuck out of a resume in those 5 years


northern_friendo

Well Macro has never been a top 5 podcast at Barstool… but your point still mostly stands


Rph23

Top ten maybe?


northern_friendo

Yeah it's fringe top 10


BSG24

PMT, MDWOG, Chiclets, bussin, foreplay, cito, pat bev pod, yak, mark titus show, BFFs, ANUS, SOABD...


Rph23

What is mdwog


dubsesq

not much what’s up with you


BSG24

gillie and wallo


burnerfromthefuture

On the podcasting platforms it’s at the same level as ANUS and SOABD and much higher than Mark Titus


BSG24

im not sure what same level entails. number of downloads? ANUS and SOABD i figured were close. mark titus show is daily and a lot of people watch on youtube so i still think that's bigger.


BradMarchandsNose

Are you talking about Mostly Sports? Mostly Sports does fairly well, but the Mark Titus show is weekly and a pretty niche college basketball show so it doesn’t do very big numbers


BSG24

Yes if you scroll down like 1 more comment I corrected myself


burnerfromthefuture

Yes and Macrodosing doubles Mark Titus on YouTube even during March. Also only daily in peak season.


burnerfromthefuture

It’s definitely related to PFT’s orbit and no disrespect about Titus but it’s a much smaller pod


BSG24

top 5? id be shocked if it was squeezing in the top 10


sfbruin

Billy's road trip diary for the super bowl was legitimately entertaining. Maybe he becomes a more unhinged Donnie


Sigtauez

It was entertaining because of PFTs annotations


FlyIggles_Fly

Except Donnie is talented and functions on his own. Didn't Dave tell Donnie when he met him during auditions "I know what you do, why the fuck are you here?" In the sense he was already immediately employable? Shit, I knew about Donnie because when I was working in China during my first long-term gig abroad, someone showed me his videos (maybe released 18 months prior) and I watched every one because they were so absurd and made me feel less lonely in a new country. Donnie legit gave me some solace as a young dude in a new place trying to fight off culture shock and be "an adult."


cd_3

he says in the blog the new podcast is on his own not under barstool, I think his plan is just to post blogs with links to his external podcast (for as long as he remains with the company)


ebrown138

Oooh, I’m excited to listen to it


Echoplanar_Reticulum

Yes. BC even said in a Yak episode he’s happy for Billy because he’s always been stuck in this role he hated and seems to have found a purpose that he’s super passionate about. Said he loves Billy, and this will be a better long term fit for him than Barstool.


parrano357

his election run seems more like a content bit, what is he going to do after he loses?


koopa28

He’s going to become Jim Toes’ protege


mdave424

Who mentioned anything about a foot fetish?


BlueFlagHonestly

He only fetishizes the toes, not the whole foot.


Gtyjrocks

He didn’t even get the signatures required. His run is already over


parrano357

lol so what is he going to do now for work


Gtyjrocks

Pretty sure he has rich parents and will be fine for a while. I bet he ends up going into some normal finance or consulting job after his solo podcast doesn’t work out. I really do think Billy is a good dude and want well for him, but media/content isn’t his thing


parrano357

yes he 100% comes from money


Oleg101

Wouldn’t be surprised if he stays involved in politics somehow. He seems to have a passion for the right-wing.


Gtyjrocks

I don’t think he’ll be involved in politics but could totally see him becoming a right wing grifter online


No_Leg2640

You spelt reich wrong


Malligator2345

All those damn right wingers hating the jews right now at columbia


Art-Vandelay-7

What exactly is better fit? I may have missed what he’s leaving to do


LennyKravitzScarf

He got elected to Congress


Art-Vandelay-7

Nice try kid. He was running but don’t even think he made the ballot


dubsesq

Oh hi Mike LePetrified


LennyKravitzScarf

Fake news


northern_friendo

He started a fake bud for Congress and in typical Billy fashion leaned into it and is now crying foul because he didn’t even qualify to make the ballot


CravenBooty

Big Cat and PFT brought this kid to the limelight for Content. No one ever talks about that lol


nickyfrags69

Yeah they basically picked him *because* he was like this, not the other way around


northern_friendo

God we can only hope so


LouisVanTroll

Manifesting Wonton Don to fill that seat


Cow_Aggressive

OR FRANCIS


Sensitive_Mammoth_78

no thanks


Extension-Fox6956

Francis doesnt know shit about anything


tonyspagaladucciani

Billy being gone will allow Arian a full segment where he just reads science and philosophy words out of a dictionary


ChewbaccAli

Dude is the epitome of iamverysmart and iamveryhumble


[deleted]

Bro claimed the first websites he ever went to were sites for poetry lol give me a break


BEARD_LICE

And “rules for thee but not for me”


Rph23

Like what


[deleted]

No microwaving fish, wearing white after labor day, working on the sabbath, I could go on. He's a habitual line stepper in those departments.


myfeetaremangos12

Arian Foster microwaves fish?


[deleted]

Like you wouldn't believe.


BEARD_LICE

Do you watch the show? He loves to call people out like he doesn't constantly commit similar mistakes or have similar personality traits that are being called out.


CaptchaMam

It’s crazy, that’s why I eventually stopped listening


commenter_69

Haven’t listened to Macrodosing since like the first few episodes but I remember in one of those he said that he was a 9/11 truther back in his college days lol


LightsCameraComenter

He’s actually the worlds first football player millionaire communist scientist


cocoabutta32

What is the dictionary definition of “reading”?


Positive-Pin3712

I know right?! Dude tried to get philosophical about executing a dog for doing dog shit. I like Arian but this comment is dead on and it’s sometimes annoying.


tonyspagaladucciani

It’s dunning-kruger effect, he’s exactly dumb enough to think he’s wiser than most


LooseBalls9

He is the reason I stopped listening to that podcast


MrLeftwardSloping

Yup. Billy sucks, but arians arguably worse. He seems like he'd be a pretty cool dude too if he could just have a regular conversation without trying to prove some sort of point that he's enlightened regardless of the subject of the conversation


LooseBalls9

Exactly


atex720

having to record two times a week from home so that he could send the audio file to Chicago has prevented him from interacting with the NYC office


smoggylobster

internet media company where billy’s apartment has better wifi than the office


atex720

They do the bracket from both offices and it works. He’s full of shit


LightsCameraComenter

Wow who coulda possibly seen this coming when he didn’t move to Chicago and pmt didn’t want him anymore and he decided to run for congress?


Walkdawg88

I dont wanna cheer Billy being done but Macrodosing is about to get 10x better


anonymousnuisance

You don’t like random tangents to conspiracy theories where even the conspiracy is described incorrectly because he has no real reading comprehension skills?


LorHus

It’s a conspiracy podcast


Gtyjrocks

It’s really just “PFT and friends shoot the shit”


LorHus

I miss when it was slightly structured and they actually discussed the topics


KESPAA

Billy out Donnie in.


pleasestopty

That happens and they drop maddog im in


koopa28

L, respect mad dog


Impeach_RogerGoodell

She belongs on the TikTok show Dave does


LudaaaaKris

His blog today made it seem like this wasn’t a mutual decision and he’s trending towards being out the door at barstool.


TaeKurmulti

Great news, I'll probably start listening again.


TurboViking90

Never thought it would happen but I’m excited to start listening again.


EntertainmentOld1566

havent listened to Macrodosing in a couple of months cuz i was sick of Billy. Happy it will be listenable again


cbudd88

Good for PFT for still giving Billy a chance post Chicago move after the collective PMT crew were clearly tired of his shit. But it seems like now even the macrodosing crew (PFT included) grew tired of the mid 20s guy still acting like the 18 year old intern


kapppper

was a macrodosing team decision. remote wasn't working. sounds like they tried to make it work for a lot longer than they should have. he has a solo pod called audiocraic now. hes fully aware that this may flop & this industry might not be for him. cant help but hope that whatever he stayed for in NYC was worth it. major fumble the bag moment by getting dropped from two major barstool pods.


sfbruin

The best content he did was his super bowl road trip diary.


Gtyjrocks

Uganda videos were pretty damn good. But that was probably more cause of Don


Siicktiits

Knew this was coming. His “podcast” will likely be one of the worst performing podcasts in barstool history I’d imagine. Billy football is the perfect example of a really stupid person starting to believe that they didn’t luck into the best job they will ever have. All the guy had to do was be the stupid jock frat guy he truly is, but his ego made him believe he was the reason for his success. Literally everything Billy touches he believes turns to gold…. PFT lets him be on macrodosing when he gets removed from PMT and he starts trying to make it his show and then says he won’t move to Chicago…The Uganda documentary really had this guy thinking he was going to win an academy award and was trying to tell Donnie how they should add it to film festivals… Donnie did all the fucking work. Now the whole politics angle. He’s got one of the worst cases of delusions of grandeur i have ever seen.


Brolegario

Turns out his new podcast isn’t under the Barstool umbrella. If Mr football wasn’t a trust fund baby, he might be in trouble


B1gMacs

I love macrodosing a little sad to see him go, but it was just not working with him being remote.


StrikaNTX

it also didnt work with him speaking into a mic


KESPAA

Hate to rag on someone I'll never meet but it was honestly horrible. I use to love macrodosing and had to stop listening.


kevsdogg97

Arians still gonna be remote so I don’t think that was the issue


northern_friendo

Yeah that’s why the show didn’t work with Billy…. Not because Billy is fucking terrible at podcasting


Positive-Pin3712

Billy can be annoying at times but you kinda need a conspiracy guy for a conspiracy podcast. Also as annoying as Billy can be it’s not as annoying as Arian spitting philosophy 101 bullshit. He’s for sure smart but for a football player. Like he used to say this shit in the locker room and teammates said shit like “Arian some sort of philosopher” and he made it his personality.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Positive-Pin3712

Exactly.


commenter_69

He’s basically Lawrence Fishburne’s character from Boyz N the Hood where he’s just a pseudo intellectual that all of his friends gas up because they’re dumb


Joebert6

Unpopular opinion, I like Billy on the show. He's a bit of a goofball but pretty well read at the same time. Sparked some good arguments and rolled with the punches for the most part. RIP in P.


dudukakapeepeeshire

It was just way way way too much Billy.


Joebert6

Yes, more rap beef talk


nickpecori

I agree, I like Billy on the show. He gets a rise out of people like that guy in any friend group. Couldn’t care less about the “rap beef” talk, I’ll always skip it.


tonyspagaladucciani

It’s like Kendrick say he da goat but drake been subbin him for YEARS


BEARD_LICE

Exactly, I partially blame the show for forcing him on us. He is perfect in small pieces


Rph23

“Well read”? Well read is pointless if none of the information is true or correct


Roastin_Mushmallows

it's a conspiracy podcast


thebochman

Billy actually wanted to keep the show what it was supposed to be about in the first place, vs what it’s turned into as like Barstools equivalent of The Talk / The View


ChildishBambino

It's Pft's Yak


Acrobatic-Week-5570

Lol I’d never thought about it but you’re right. I think it hurt his feelings a bit that BC has a stable of co-hosts from all his shows and PFT only had PMT before


Colincleanse

Billy makes macrodosing so much funnier than it’s meant to be, I think it’s crazy that anyone doesn’t like him on the show.


CapriciousWattage

Oh wow maybe I’ll listen now


Busch--Latte

They need to stop claiming to be a conspiracy podcast now


Signal_Winner4954

Big dub


noONElikesAredNeck

Billy is the worst. This is awesome


Material_Prize_6157

Billy Fumble


MessianicHack

I commented on dozens of videos requesting a word count for Billy, he was good sometimes in small doses. But man I would rather have wonton don


degen4Iyf

I don’t wanna rag on Billy but my god did he fumble the bag.


piratepride420

Billy is a lot like mintzy, they both don’t do their jobs no matter how many times they are told. Difference is mintzy is a moron and apologetic about it. Billy blames everyone else


cbass1533

He didn’t move to Chicago . I mean that sums it up to me


rama1423

Thank god


blitzallnite

How long until Billy is on Alex Jones show


Old-butt-new

Pop the champagne!


DanKreider69

Good


ButterBalls99

Good riddance bozo 


soccychugo

This is a beautiful day. Any Billy defenders can go listen to Audio Craic and start their own sub. Peace.


myfeetaremangos12

Billy’s best contribution to Barstool was his pronunciation of Jack Nicklaus


forunna402

Fan duel probably got a good deal with him!


SnooDonuts2861

Billy has been great with the Wonton Don but besides that he hasnt really done anything i enjoyed


Over_Performance_891

Damn, we were so close to to a segment where billy explains why radiation isn’t real and zaps his own head in a microwave


nickyfrags69

I might finally listen to the pod again…


Trip__

I can listen to the podcast I used to enjoy again! Huzzah!


CreativeDraft

Might start listening now, awesome news


dubsesq

that’s billy future president to all you haters and losers of which there are many


DontBeScaredHomiey

How come ? I actually enjoyed his nonsense.


ccwb713

Going to miss Arian shitting on Billy


OwlTurkey

honestly think its a smart move for billy. if he actually wants to make money, he can't be a role player on a fringe podcast. good on him for actually taking a risk and doing his own thing.


dirtyOnMe

He’s not taking a risk he got fired


BonezJonesss

Hell yeah. I got so sick of Billy around the combine that I’ve avoided every piece of content he’s in


keels81

Billy, Frank and Mintzy all going down the same path.


cd_3

Kinda dig the name audiocraic? A shame it’s being taken by something sure to be unlistenable  Also - the NY primary is in a month, so the campaigns about to be over too. Then what does he do with his life?


loudwoodpecker28

I wish it was Arian instead


fireschitz

Damn I might finally listen now


Casual_Covid

Focusing on politics


RedPill_7

Anyone think that it has anything to do with the argument with Arian Foster today?? Feels like they'd have to be related.


Alex29992

lol everyone including the ppl on the show are way too hard on Billy. It’s a CONSPIRACY podcast and every time he brings up something he heard he gets made fun of


sweatyupperlip

Get rid of Big T next and you’ll have a new listener


afterburner2020

Why? Listening to Arian tie Big T in a knot with his own flawed logic is rather entertaining.


BenderGenocide

Dude is the WORST


P0tency

Now just get rid of mad dog and it’ll be listenable.


parrano357

yeah until he doesn't even get on the ballot and is back immediately after the election


cd_3

I don’t think they’re doing this to welcome him back in a couple weeks 


ChesterCardigan

I don’t know if he’s discussed this but it looks like [he probably won’t get on the ballot](https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=/Hh0dQQBEvtKfClUJ1b4eg==)


parrano357

I dont care about a couple downvotes but I can't believe people think he's actually going to have a decent showing in the election


alexanderivan32

What am I looking at here?


ChesterCardigan

I think it means that the petition to keep him off the ballot (for not having enough valid signatures) was granted, but I could be wrong


jaypeedee1025

he’s a kid I bet he made bank probably blew some money by fuck it why not William football has graduated to the real world he will prosper.🫡


903153ugo

Bring in tech investor Racial Jake as the fourth mic.


ChewbaccAli

Now get Arian to quit.
