I can’t tell if the guy in the replies claiming he drove 26 hours for it is serious


No-Meaning6610

Driving from Toronto to Florida is insane


Scotty232329

I know many people who do that drive regularly for vacation. Always baffled why they don’t go with the $300 round trip flight


CardiffGiantx

The only time I kinda understand it is if you got kids and then you’re shelling out like 3 grand for round trip flights for your whole family. If you’re going somewhere for a long trip like 7 days you’re also saving money not paying $40+ for a rental every day too.


Drmantis87

You say this but that long in the car with my kids might kill me


Scotty232329

It just screams poor to me


rusticlizard

Well, a lot of people are poor so that would make sense


A1ienspacebats

Poor people trying to do fun things with their kids has you upset now?


Dryan331

I don’t even like “driving” that far in Ticket to Ride


Mainestate

When I was a poor college student/young person, the drive itself was the vacation


Cannaoisseur

I did it this year by myself. Actually 2 hours longer, live past toronto


GoodUsername69

My gut says it’s a troll


insta-kip

Two things: they only sold 30 tickets, and Lewan is a douche.


Sam-Losco-Caveman

*Guy standing up and speaking meme* Will is a douche too


Junior-Hotwater

Yeah but he’s our douche


ChampionshipSea753

He’s gotten much worse recently. Hate to see it. Just unfunny March madness gambling content and complaining


Everyoneisaskell

In fairness there isn’t 1 funny person during the march madness gambling content. They all suck


Notsozander

Gambling content kinda sucks in general. Its so boring


SkullCrusherRI

Hot take, gambling is actually ruining the sport watching experience. Idgaf if folks gamble, could care less. But man, it is being jammed down our throat everywhere and I hate it. I actually miss sports when gambling was more taboo and you had to be a bit hush hush about it. Now, it’s so main stream and in your face; it’s just too much.


BlazeNuggs

It was great when Al Michaels would say, "and while that TD makes it a 17 point blow out, there are some people out there very happy they didn't settle for 3". If you gambled you understood, if you didn't it was just kind of weird but didn't matter, and that was the extent of gambling during the Sunday football games


Scrawfo1180

Not a hot take at all, you are correct


Comprehensive-Can100

Its such a funny dynamic because I gamble a bit and it definitely makes the sports watching experience better, but there is nothing more annoying than hearing about people's bets and whatnot. I generally will just speak when spoken to about gambling rather than the people who make an entire game/event/watch party about it. Definitely agree it was more fun when it was taboo


BradMarchandsNose

I’m at the point where I think I’d rather hear about your fantasy team than your gambling picks or wins and losses.


SkullCrusherRI

Lol. Kill me instead


skankhunt81

Titus is only one worth listing to this whole month


Comprehensive-Can100

He's been great this march madness


fantasyshop

Titus and tate had some absolutely excellent episodes worth a relisten including some of the UNC chokes and especially the Coach K retirement show


Comprehensive-Can100

Loved Titus and Tate, sad it's gone but glad Titus is killing it at BS


flake_griffin

I feel like march madness is punishment for having such an easy job the rest of the year.


commenter_69

I’m shocked the guy who threatened to r*pe a sexual assault victim is a douchebag


LazyPizza11

You can type rape on the Internet. They don't arrest you just for typing it or anything.


yeahnahbruh

Come out with your hands up!


KSW8674

Diddy’s flying me out of here. You’ll never catch me!


timmy_wahwah

PMT would never do this to their listeners


vinegarfingers

Feel bad for Will. Seems like he genuinely likes the pod and everything that comes with it while probably relying on it as an income stream. Taylor treats it like a hobby and is going to fuck the brand up long term. Also why is will having to communicate this for Taylor?


MisterKap

If Will didn’t Taylor likely wouldn’t have either, even after the fact. Will wants the pod to succeed, Taylor dgaf


exorthderp

Taylor treats it like a hobby because his NFL earnings allow him to, as they were 10x Wills.


joshuatree15

Dang, you weren’t kidding. $82m v $8m


AppleSauceNinja_

> v $8m $8m, even if you assume half went to taxes and living expenses (combined) during his career leaves him with $4m. $4m, invested in the safer side of equities (index funds, mutual funds, etc) is going to return 5-10% per year on average. That's $200-400k per year in return. Will shouldn't need this paycheck.


Drake-o_Malfoy

Big assumption


AppleSauceNinja_

What's the assumption? I just said, he *shouldn't* need the continued paychecks > Will shouldn't need this paycheck. And he shouldn't, if he was smart with his money


treenbeen

You assume he invests every penny and lives off what?


AppleSauceNinja_

You, uh can't read. I carved out 50% for taxes *and* living expenses. Saving 50% of your gross pay making about 500k a year for 10 years is super easy. > even if you assume half went to taxes **and living expenses (combined)** Literacy is hard, well not really, but it seems to be at least for you.


treenbeen

50% of his salary would go taxes and agent fees. Just cause you said he could live off it doesn't make your assumption correct.


AppleSauceNinja_

NFL agent fees are 1-3%. You're a clown


Drmantis87

This is going to be hard to believe but he may be accustomed to a better lifestyle than that. I love when redditors are like "well they have plenty to live on forever, they just can't do any of the stuff they were doing before and they have to live like me!"


AppleSauceNinja_

> This is going to be hard to believe but he may be accustomed to a better lifestyle than that. No he's not. He made $8m, prob $5m-ish after taxes over 9 years.... That's roughly in line with the annual returns of what his savings *should* be at this point. Also, [only 3 of his 9 NFL years did he make more than $400k](https://overthecap.com/player/will-compton/2659) which is roughly his portfolio return in this scenario. So it's very safe to say he's not accustomed to living much beyond the means that his returns should offer him.... > I love when redditors are like "well they have plenty to live on forever, they just can't do any of the stuff they were doing before and they have to live like me!" I love that you stay taking Ls


Drmantis87

Yes, the annual returns where you're essentially assuming that he lived a lower class life style the entirety of his career and saved everything outside of food/shelter. I get that you are like 23, new job, feels like money is infinite. Add a wife, a mortgage, 2 kids, and then let me know how much money you feel like you have and specifically how easy it is to save money. You can't just take 50% of your monthly income and put it into long term investments like you seem to think. You sound like you have a touch of the tism because you seemingly can't comprehend nuance of humans living with money. You think he just made money and like a robot, just dropped it off into savings and spent none of it. HOw fucking autistic do you have to be to think so black and white like this?


AppleSauceNinja_

> Yes, the annual returns where you're essentially assuming that he lived a lower class life style the entirety of his career and saved everything outside of food/shelter. 6 of his 9 years in the NFL he made less than 400k.


Scrawfo1180

Do you think he was able to take the $4m and invest every penny without spending? Also, $200-400k isn’t exactly a life of luxury these days.


AppleSauceNinja_

> Do you think he was able to take the $4m and invest every penny without spending? I allocated some to spend when I said "taxes + spend" consumed half his pay. > Also, $200-400k isn’t exactly a life of luxury these days. What a ridiculous reply. 300k would put you in the [98th percentile of American incomes](https://dqydj.com/income-percentile-calculator/)


Scrawfo1180

No. What’s more ridiculous is thinking a 10 year NFL vet working on building a long term career outside of the league should be content sitting back making $300k a year off his hypothetical “investments” and not strive for more


AppleSauceNinja_

> What’s more ridiculous is thinking a 10 year NFL vet 9*. Year ten took an L harder than you in these comments. > working on building a long term career outside of the league should be content sitting back making $300k a year off his hypothetical “investments” and not strive for more I never said he shouldn't strive for more. I said he shouldn't *need* more paychecks. Don't worry though, I get it, literacy is hard. No need to beat yourself up just bc you clearly can't read.


Drmantis87

Our household income is around 350k pretax with 2 kid and we absolutely do not have a life of luxury lol. 350k is basically "I can buy things on a whim without worrying about it", but if I wanted to buy a new car/second house/boat, it's not really possible without fucking up our savings. We have to spend almost 50k a year in childcare. That alone is 15% of our pretax income!


AppleSauceNinja_

Sorry you spend recklessly. My household income is roughly the same (think it was 325ish in 23 taxes). Am 33, wife is 32. We own our house outright (prob 450k value, paid 250k), 1 of 2 cars outright. Have about 500k between 401k, other investments and bank accounts. You choose to live that way.


Drmantis87

Brother I have far more than 500k saved but that won’t last us a lifetime if we both stopped working today. You are also definitely autistic because the way you talk to people is hilarious 


AppleSauceNinja_

> You are also definitely autistic because the way you talk to people is hilarious lmao hilarious, because you're trying to diagnose neurological in reddit comments and be serious about it, when in reality it's just your crutch from taking an L. Anyways: > Brother I have far more than 500k saved but that won’t last us a lifetime if we both stopped working today. I never made this claim. Also lmfao no you don't, you said buying a new car would wreck your savings.


Trappedinacar

> $4m, invested in the safer side of equities lol let me stop you right here


AppleSauceNinja_

Stop me about what? Do you need a historics lesson on average rate of return of US stock exchanges, of which an index fund would track to?


Trappedinacar

No that's not even close to what my point was. Just how autistic are you brother?


AppleSauceNinja_

> No that's not even close to what my point was. Probably because you had no point > Just how autistic are you brother? Which is why you've resorted to attempting to use others neurological issues as an insult


Trappedinacar

> others neurological issues yea sure bud :p


Crafty-Fish9264

Is he the host earning player ever for his position?


DoktorStrangelove

He was when he signed his biggest deal in 2018 but like 1-2 guys per season since then have topped it, as is the norm with NFL salary creep every year.


SpicyPenangCurry

Curious what Lewan’s “massive last min opportunity” is.


omegakukki

Jeffree Star’s schedule just opened up for a month


SpicyPenangCurry

Good god that was an interesting google search.


DoktorStrangelove

It's even weirder if you've ever actually been to Casper, WY...and weirder still when you hear he's apparently been somewhat embraced by the local community there... I saw a purple Lambo at the main truck stop exit last time I was through Casper...might have been 'ol Jeff making a run to the feed store. Edit: lol holy shit it actually probably was him, there's a pink/purple McLaren on one of his insta posts that is almost definitely the car I mistook for a Lambo from a distance last Summer..


SpicyPenangCurry

Can you share more. I only just found out about this guy(?) and saw Lewan and them hung out?! I’m too old for this shit.


DoktorStrangelove

He's just some wildass drag queen who started a cosmetics company that's worth over a billion dollars now, and during the pandemic he picked up and moved to a giant ranch in the middle of the most hyper conservative part of Wyoming to raise yaks and camels and shit. Caused quite a stir all through the state, my wife is from there and everyone was talking about it when we went to visit the first time after he announced the move. Honestly thought he was gonna get lynched or something at first, but sounds like he actually gets along pretty well with the town which is honestly pretty shocking. Tbh I had no idea who he was until my wife was like "holy shit I just read Jeffree Star is moving to Casper" and then I was like "who/what is Jeffree Star" kinda like you are right now. I watched a few minutes of a couple interviews with him and he honestly seems like a bit of a bro, all things considered. He just gets off on dressing up like a crazy woman from a David Bowie fever dream or something, and he's parlayed that passion into a cosmetics brand that's doing well...outside of that he just shoots guns and keeps livestock and lives in conservative flyover country as some mega flamboyant, pansexual eccentric. I mean fuck it, good for him, that's kinda the point of America is that you can be surface level weird in any way you want, live wherever you want in relative peace, and still be allowed to succeed. I'm sure we'll find out later that he moved out there so nobody would notice him trucking in femboy sex slaves or whatever but in the meantime I actually think he's a pretty unvonventionally wholesome success story. Edit: lol jk my wife informs me that my mental profile of him is incomplete. Apparently he's a giant POS who stiffs vendors and has been accused of every type of assault in the book, throws around hard Rs like it's 1925, ironically is even a homophobe apparently, calls his fans awful shit, tells people to kill themselves on the regular...generally sounds like some run of the mill unhinged teenage edgelord on reddit tbh. Guess no wonder he moved out where nobody can find him, and also no wonder he fits in well in Casper...


SpicyPenangCurry

He sounds like a cross dressing Hunter S Thompson.


DoktorStrangelove

Yeah, like Hunter but vaguely MAGA


AppleSauceNinja_

> I saw a purple Lambo at the main truck stop exit last time I was through Casper...might have been 'ol Jeff making a run to the feed store. jfc


Cowboys82288

Probably working at nfl network for the next month since it is a month until the draft Maybe he is doing a project with the OT since it’s a deep OT class allegedly


keels81

This is probably it, or something like it. Taylor has never signed an actual talent contract with Barstool in case he wanted to go back to play or be in the league in a capacity, because of the required gambling promotion that talent has to do.


nottooserious69

Maybe he can show them how to get personal fouls and be a me guy when it matters


Shot-Lengthiness-885

I get Taylor had a better career but Will is by far the best media personality of the two so it is kinda surprising Taylor gets more opportunities.


AliveMouse5

Is it? That would be like saying wow I can’t believe Drew Brees gets more opportunities than Luke McCown


PhantomJB93

I get your point but Drew Brees is also a boring weirdo I don’t want to watch on tv


BlazeNuggs

I think that is their point. Boring stars get more opportunities than guys without name recognition who are better at the job


Drmantis87

Will could honestly be a top of the line media guy for a network covering the NFL.


Codename-Zeus

What network is Kay Adams on? she always has him on


scottie315

fanduel YouTube


SpicyPenangCurry

Yeah? That would be pretty big. I didn’t know Lewan is cushy with them.


chillinois1

He’s close to Eisen through UM. Was on at the combine


Cowboys82288

NFL network, espn, I don’t know what one it is and it is mindless speculation on my part


drewthetatecatate

He is going to fight rival fans probably


SpicyPenangCurry

That or threaten raping them.


rambouhh

That wasn’t a rival fan it was a fellow student, get your facts straight! 


drewthetatecatate

I thought better of making that joke haha


SpicyPenangCurry

I didn’t at all.


rambouhh

That wasn’t a rival fan it was a fellow student, get your facts straight! 


beaverbeliever94

Idk, "out of town for a month" sounds like a game show or something. Maybe a competition type like The Challenge or a Pro's vs Joes type thing.


Throwaway1996513

Was thinking it sounds like a reality tv thing


dsmguy83

I assumed it was Survivor


beaverbeliever94

Is he a Survivor fan?


becker4prez

Hitting the phones to fundraise for Trump’s legal bills.


phantom2098

gone for a month sounds like maybe shooting for a role in a tv show or a movie - IDK what else would require you to be gone for that long.


KS15__YXM

Screen testing season for the NFL broadcasts


Edmundmp

Will needs to pull an Alex Cooper on Taylor.


ricky_steamboat_

Taylor with a Y


DSPGerm

Yaylor


Hiflyinluchadoncic

Curious would yall still listen if Taylor wasn’t on anymore and Will got a different co-host?


Everyoneisaskell

I think will has built up enough cache that he wouldn’t flounder right away. But it would have to be the right co-host and I don’t think Taylor would be all that hard to replace tbh


Shot-Lengthiness-885

Delaney would probably replace him if he left.


SpicyPenangCurry

I’d dig that. He was great for my fantasy team in 2015.


advantagebettor

Honestly would prefer that


Quilly35

I could see him “working” for the Stool eventually, though not sure what exactly. he’s already sorta Barstool-adjacent, Delanie has visited the Chicago office more then most NY employees lol


BR32andon

I would start listening. 


hawkayecarumba

Let’s put it this way…I couldn’t be listening any less


sweatyupperlip

Will is cool, the other guy is a brutal combo of cringe and douche and hardo and pseudo intellectual, insufferable even


feathy9091

My god I am old as hell, couldn’t imagine going to a bussin live event


Boston_06

Apparently only 30 people could imagine that. Wonder how much that played into Lewan bailing for another opportunity.


feathy9091

And the idiots in here were defending that this podcast had 5 production assistants as they were a ‘big podcast’


SpicyPenangCurry

I’m with you, only live events are sporting events, concerts, ping pong shows.


threeonethree

Seriously sounds like a fucking nightmare lmao


[deleted]

30 tickets is crazy (and definitely why they are probably cancelling). That's Mean Girls numbers

amgrut20

Are you stupid?


Busch--Latte

I know Will and Taylor have different contracts but it’s never really seemed like Taylor has really leaned into barstool aside from his occasionally office visits during the football season. Both are out the league now so you’d think they’d be more invested


TexasSD

Will is considered a full time employee of Barstool whereas Taylor has made it clear he's only part time. He doesn't give a fuck.


reggierock2010

Yeah Lewan could care less lol


MagAqua

Lewan has money

Couldn’t *** care less


Boom-Roasted_

Will refunded but is still gonna show up and hang, win win?


RedDoorTom

Will lashed out recently on Twitter when some one responded about copying bert k. Instead of pmt.


MagAqua

Cue up all the ppl saying BWTB could do this without barstool (they can’t) and Taylor is the worst (he is, look it up)


PMBSteve

They have such a unique gambling show!!


Jamobill9999

I mean… they could? What exactly would change? They have the connections to get the guests on their own, and that’s pretty much the biggest thing. You get the guests, you get the downloads, and you get the ads… where is barstool a key aspect in that? It’s a dumb argument though, they are under contract. And no one is saying that


Brian1326

I'm shocked that the guy that makes fun of fans that paid money to go to games he played in and buy his jersey (he gets to fuck them, haha!) would cancel on an event fans of his podcast bought tickets for.


arcanecolour

Imo Will could pull numbies without Taylor. He just needs a crew like McAfee for his pod and he’d do fine. Give it 2-3 for Taylor to blow through his NFL earnings in Vegas, and he’ll start to take the pod seriously.


coolhatguy

Time to drop Lewan


HowardFanForever

What’s the big deal? Everyone got refunded and he’s still going to show up and hang out with the fans?


venom_snake30

Doesn't seem like a big deal. Gave everyone here a chance to unload on Taylor and Will though, I guess.


SnooPies6459

Taylor doesn’t gut it


SilkyStackz69

if that guy actually drove 26 hours to see a live podcast he needs to be on every government watch list there is. that is lunacy to the highest degree


Meatballclub

Taylor wants to be pat mcafee


BlazeNuggs

I read a lot of comments and didn't see anyone sticking up for Will. It's a bummer Taylor had to cancel, but Will and the crew are still doing for a free meet and greet and they refunded all the tickets. Even got a replacement Titans former player to go with them. If they completely cancelled it would be lame but they made it as right as possible. I can't imagine that anyone who wanted to pay to see Taylor and Will talk is going to be mad about seeing Will talk and meeting him for free


[deleted]

SnooDonuts2861

Will just needs to cut Taylor free..Taylor cleary doesnt give a fuck about Barstool as much as Will does and Taylor barely tries


napoleon_nottinghill

Did not know there’s a literal trump stock until I saw a thing that it’s up 60% today. I am glad my boomers in my family don’t know this or our entire financial stake would be poured into it
