Let me put my aluminum foil hat on for a second…

It’s insane. He lets Arian walk all over him. I would love for them invite on a guest that could counter Arian. He can’t articulate a reason for his faith despite evidence of evolution. This is basic stuff.

Arian is so blinded by himself he has asked “if god/jesus was real why wouldn’t he just show us something?” multiple times. Not acknowledging the concept of faith at all.

I get that everyone hates him for their assumptions about his politics but this isn’t about that. In all the years of the podcast I can only recall one time that Big T seemed to defend his position on faith well.

I hope someone from the pod sees this and either Big T studies up or they invite on someone to shut up Arians condescending butt.

I’m 24 minutes in and it has jumped around four times at least freaking awful. Thought I was having a stroke or something.

Farmer have a new conspiracy theory…

Isn’t them always saying deal with the consequences of your actions?

How come no one has heard or seen from him to confirm he still alive? 🤯

if you go look at their insta when they dropped billy i commented on almost every post for a few months saying justiceforbilly! 1. they used him to become popular and then when they had a consistent following dropped him 2. he brought ENERGY was funny and actually curious. all things that big T is not and he resented billy for it! they would get on billy for asking questions and having an open mind and having fun (the POINT OF THE PODCAST). i really really miss billy, the pod was so fun and interesting when he was there! it genuinely bothers me how they treated him. kicked him while he was down in a very important time in his life! he just got engaged and tried to get a place for them to stay then they dropped him from pmt and macro at the same time basically. then when he started his own pod they shit on him and wouldn’t promote it! messed up! made me feel good to see his interview a week ago and see he’s doing good!

He was a producer or something on the show pretty early on

Monday's episode with Arian out really exposed how much work PFT has to do on this pod and how little help he gets.

Specifically highlighted in the first discussion, I will paste some of the transcripts from Youtube, there are errors in those but it gets the text across

PFT is starting the discussion about Natalie Harp and is laying out a theory

Now, I have a theory about this, about the whole Natalie thing, and obviously this was all brought to light. You know, there have been some articles written about her. She'd been mentioned in some books. Um but it was kind of resurfaced by John Of when he was giving a stump speech and said that all he wants to do is fly in his free plane and hang out with Natalie. Uh and then everyone kept talking about like who's Natalie? And then everyone kept talking about it, talking about it. My theory on this is that there might be some people on the right, Republican party, that are fed up with Trump and they keep bringing up Natalie being like, "Don't talk about the president that way. Natalie is a a a great young lady." Like, they keep injecting it back into the news cycle. And if you're Donald Trump and you you want the story, you don't want people to talk about her and everyone just keeps bringing it up in the spirit of defending you, but they could just not talk about it. That'd be okay. And it probably would have gone away if they didn't say anything about it. But people just keep talking about like, "Hey, you be nice to Natalie Hart. She's not actually [ __ ] the president." That's disgusting to imply that she's having sex with the president. Like they're just they're saying it a whole lot, which makes me think that they are doing it maybe some of them on purpose to [ __ ] with him a little bit. I don't know. That's just a theory I have because I have no I have no idea why else they would keep bringing it up.

This is Big T's response

I'm learning in real. Who is this? I see you guys text about I have no idea who this is.

This is one of the biggest recent news stories, and your cohost has just laid out an elaborate theory that is begging for rebuttal or riffing or anything. Your response implies there's even been some discussion ("text about this") before, and there was no bother to look it up?

So then PFT goes and explains the Natalie Harp situation in detail. And we're back to where we started, what is Big T's response after all that

She went to Point Loman Nazarene University, the uh the most beautiful baseball field in America. You ever seen that?

Just completely directs to an unrelated topic. He again relies on PFT to bring it back on topic.

During this entire segment, I felt like PFT was begging to have a discussion, even get some conspiracy theories cooking, and he gets nothing back.

This pod has to be an experiment to see how much they can fuck off with before people stop listening

When did this show become about pop culture and steer away from conspiracies? I can’t remember the last deep dive topic episode.

Don’t get my wrong, Billy was pretty annoying, but he did a good job of keeping the show on topic for those longer eps.

What about bringing on one of the other barstool characters who is into this kinda shit? T bob, chief or whatever that guys name is.

FWIW - I love the show, probably my favorite podcast, but we need some more love put into it pls.

Stay gorgeous yall.

Predicting 9 wins for the Browns is insanity. It’s ok to say “I’m a big college football guy but don’t know the NFL.” The way he says they can beat the Jaguars week 1 as if they’re playing the 1-15 Jags from 2020 is comical. Like does he realize that this Jags team won 14 games last year?

Seems like a lot of us feel the same in that the show has been lacking nowadays. I am merely speculating here, so my apologies if this is a lame post lol, but I feel like right now, the cycle is as follows:

• PFT misses a show for a PMT-related thing
• Arian has to host alone and feels some type of way
• PFT returns and either Arian is there and puts in the bare minimum, or he decides he deserves to miss a show too since PFT just missed one
• Both co-hosts then isolate themselves further, given their respective gripes with the shortcomings of what the other host is putting into the show

This used to be my favorite podcast for the unstructured chaos and discussion of current events. They had so many different voices and so many good conversations and laughs came out of them.

Now the pod is literally just Arian who is checked out half the time and Big T who is an echo chamber of politics and college football.

I know PFT missing some episodes is normal especially with being on PMT, but for someone as sharp as him there is no way he doesn’t feel like the podcast is falling.

Makes me wonder if they are just quite canceling this pod.

Don’t mean to beat a dead horse but I was feeling pretty nostalgic about all the long shifts and car rides this pod has gotten me through.

Am I the only one that finger blasted the 30sec skip button during mad dogs unnecessary rant? I’m not sure what that was about. Could’ve gotten the point across within the first 30 seconds. Didn’t need all the yelling. We get it. He’s a bad guy. She should focus more on producing and maybe the pod won’t be 10x quieter than any other barstool pod, and actually get uploaded on time.

Between PFT being there only half the time. Arian and Big T competing to be the biggest Debby downer. The show just seems so stale now a days.

3 minutes into this episode today and there have been 5 ads. This is getting ridiculous.

This is a game that randomly matches up 2 Barstool Personalities. You pick your favorite and their rating (and possibly rank) increases. They lose and it decreases. If you click a personalities name on the leaderboard then it will bring to their stat page which will show a stock like chart of fluctuations over a certain time period, head to head matchup totals, win streak, etc. If you login it will chart your history on a stats page.

The Create Your Squad is a new game within the game where you are given 5,000 coins which can be used to “purchase contracts” for Barstool talent and add them to your squad. Their value is based strictly off what their rating is so typically ranges from 1,000-2,000 coins. This has a leaderboard as well where the goal is to amass the highest value of talent on your squad. You can sell and buy someone who you think might shoot up in the rankings.

Still a work in progress, so might be a few kinks but working them out.

Conspiracy Bill comes out at the end and it was the perfect way to end a Billy podcast
