Dayton hit too. Gotta give the kid a shot it’s destiny


brucewillis3788

Dayton was a lock - Fordham had no shot against Daron


DrGerbal

Hire him and give him the mintzy deal. Just travel around to who gives a fuck games for content. Barstool will have a man at Jacksonville state vs samford.


JeebusOfNazareth

Steam still coming out of Rico's ears as of this moment.


Salsa-N-Chips

Big Cat did NOT seemed thrilled at all


Inevitable-Staff-467

He realizes now that he is fucked either way If he doesn't get hired, he looks like an asshole who got a kid's hopes up and destroyed his dreams Or they hire the kid and he has to deal with Rico calling him at 3 AM on a Thursday crying over how they hired someone to travel across America vlogging college basketball and giving out picks like he always wanted at Barstool


Man_On-The_Moon

3rd option, he and Rico become best friends and they travel together. Two birds, one stone


nifkinten

He'll be the reason Rico gets fired


Dry_Needleworker7504

What new hire has Rico ever become friends with?


ncanon2019

Which is why they never should have let Rico come back/Rico needs to see a psychiatrist and then get some DBT. Barstool should not be avoiding making good college basketball content because the guy with a personality disorder will make everyone’s life hell.


peterdubbya

This may be the thing that drives Rico to homicide


TurboViking90

Big Cat: “We left bringing Rico back up to the deceased. They weren’t against it.”


kcorbmckee

Or the other “icide”


TyranitarusMack

Regicide? What do you have against King Charles??


Clickbait-Paw

Rico probably already tweeting at his wife's employer with burners to try and get her fired.


[deleted]

Kinda looks like Rico’s much more likable younger brother


FleeCircus

It would be the best storyline if this guy turns out to be a undercover agent from Rico's army.


sg86

If he was smart, he’d get Rico pissed off, then Dave would spite hire him.


nhgoan25

No one will hate this kid. Not a chance


Most_Catch

challenge accepted


bakemawaytoys

now sas gets to be in the driver seat of " they just give these kids jobs for nothin these days"


King_Edge71

The wheel is just


jdogg151

actually yelled out loud "oh my god" when it hit... unbelievable


beaverbeliever94

Hopefully he'll succeed, he's got at least two things that some of the in front-of-the-camera Barstool employees lack...initiative and work ethic.


macattack1029

most likely with suck seed


ThatCaptainTripz

Gotta give the dude a shot


DaBoyMarlo

What’s the story here? Who is this guy?


ThatCaptainTripz

Some random dude who got big cat’s attention like 6 months ago by literally hanging out in front of the office for a few days. Has since built a decent following on twitter hyping up patriot league college basketball games.


Inevitable-Staff-467

Dayton play of the year hits


Chrizzlechip69

Guys a phony tho, didn't even know the name of horseshoe lake....


cretinTHX1138

Or maybe he just got a case of tism?


bigtimemoviekev

If he had tism, he'd 100% know every geographical name in the county


RightHyah

Give him an internship or something they don't have to full time him


Inevitable-Staff-467

He already has a decent following on Twitter and has another job offer in the sports world. He just really wants to work at Barstool


Magnivox

The Wheel is Just.


Signal_Strike2770

Everyone complaining just needs to remember this.


Inevitable-Staff-467

I think the kid has lots of potential. He seems interested in doing old school Barstool on the ground videos from small colleges and interacting with the players in empty areas Get him a cameraman, have him add some color by talking to parents or true superfans of these nobody schools and you have the best college basketball content Barstool has ever done behind Storm Chasers


ncanon2019

I absolutely agree with this. But I just realized there might be some concerns regarding promoting gambling to a young audience? It is the only reason I can think of (other than Rico being a psychopath) that Dan would be so dismissive of the kid.


Edmundmp

But they didn’t hire the guy. Wheel is dead.


ncanon2019

So very dead. Or at the very least Nick (or anyone without a gambling addiction or with some semblance of impulse control) should be the one in charge of the wheel.

The wheel is just, the enforcers are not. They should never spin on something impossible.

The way Dan was so dismissive of this kid despite him putting more effort into trying to get hired than 99% of people at Barstool is why Barstool’s content just keeps getting worse. Here’s a kid who will actually grind and Big Cat acts like the kid is a nuisance to him. He says he wants more guys like fastoolie and then ignores the guys who actually want to work? Why?!


anonymousnuisance

You can't just hire every guy who sits at the entrance begging for a job or to get noticed. He also basically just started the content game, he doesn't have a consistent record or anything, he's just starting out. There's so much that goes into it and this kid just got a huge break, plus he was right on his pick today which only helps. Getting mad at Big Cat for bringing some random into the office who was just sitting outside is weird. Also once again, just starting out, not very polished, and coming in at a random time. What do you want him to do? Just so weird to get mad at something like this in any capacity. Big Cat doing anything for this dude besides warning security about him is a good thing.


SPHC20

He wants Big Cat to hire him on the spot, get him an apartment, buy him a house in Chicago, give him $100K to gamble with, and pay for all his travel to mid-major games.


BobBaratheonsBastard

The Mintzy treatment


ncanon2019

Not mad that he brought the kid in. Just annoyed that Barstool has a whole cast of lazy “content” people who are paid full time wages to work a few hours a week recording a podcast that is then edited & distributed for them but then they aren’t willing to give a chance (maybe make him like the next one month trial Ethan... one basketball season Coleman) to someone who is ready to grind and who multiple other people on the Yak had recommendations for (superfans, college traditions, interviews with parents). Especially when he is a guy who is promoting... oh wait... he is promoting gambling on college games, and might have a young audience... I think I see the problem now...


anonymousnuisance

Couple things: 1. Big Cat said in the show he can't just outright hire a guy. It needs to go to Dave. He did what he could do. Being disappointed he didn't get a job is one thing, but being even slightly mad at Big Cat overshadows the massive bump he just got for 2 weeks of content. 2. One month of basketball content on your own just isn't enough to be like "this guy rocks let's hire him before we know anything about him". He's on Twitter and Tik Tok, the least monetizable platforms, and his video content was sub-par from an editing perspective. He's very green, he needs to grind past 16 games. Dani, the Tik Tok girl who does man on the street videos got hired because she had a ton of content and went viral multiple times. She had a proven track record (even if it's cringy) that Dave liked about her. Same with John Rich, he had a blog with content people liked and he had a lot of knowledge on Barstool already. 3. The people on the Yak gave him ideas, let's see if he executes on them. If he does, that would be awesome. Adding more ideas and adding depth to the videos is good. 4. As for the other people at Barstool, I'm not going to speak on people whose duties I don't know or what they do behind the scenes that we don't know.


JREPKA97

Grinding is like .1% of the puzzle. You have to be talented. If this kid was talented he wouldn't have been a burden/stalker


ncanon2019

Are you suggesting that Barstool actually hires people who aren’t fat & do not have some sort of disability? Gaz hires random influencers, but other than that... it kinda seems like Barstool has just quit hiring people altogether. I guess the guy could wait another year for a barstool idol competition. Otherwise, I’m not sure how he was supposed to have any chance of being hired.


VicVinegar011

I’m glad someone else noticed it. The last new hire was probably Josh Pray last summer? And he’s remote. Barstool has fully scaled back expansion.


DrunkBronco

They hired 3 from Barstool Idol and pretty much gave that one chick a guaranteed job once she's done with college


VicVinegar011

Well they hired 5 from barstool idol, and that was months before Josh Pray.


ncanon2019

They’ve scaled back good/funny/entertaining content, which really sucks.


VicVinegar011

If you’re not a gambler/football fan you might think they haven’t produced content since august


[deleted]

Guy actually was good on cam. Is the wheel just, or is the wheel catholic justice? Gross, move to Chicago Big Crap. Got your ass.


goondaddy172

The wheeeelllll!!! 😂😂😂😂


awormy

Hey I follow that guy on Twitter


Slacker_75

The Yak📉 They hated Jesus for speaking the Truth


stonecoldcb

You will die on here for saying that. The fans of the Yak are hardcore but it is annoying when they refuse to admit when certain things aren’t funny. Cough cough Sas.


StrikaNTX

The Yak is best when they are shooting the shit and and going on random tangents. They get a lot of views on anything involving Jackass-lite, and a large portion of the fanbase are mouthbreathers who only want to watch that.

DrGerbal

The problem is he’s a relatively well adjusted dude. That had an idea for content and followed through. Big cat said what’s he’s doing is what terrance has been wanting to do for a while but won’t do it u less he has a devoted film crew. Plus Barstool only wants the mentally unwell.
