Has the quality of guest of PMT gone down with all of the lovely stories about Barstool? It always seemed like they had some pretty visible athletes and other media folks on a lot back when I listened to it about a year ago. Since the ESPN show it’s seems like there are more and more stories about how gross Barstool is overall, and I would think that at the very least some of the other media companies would have their people steer clear.

Also the excuses on PMT were getting thin and tiring then. I can’t imagine what they are like now.

I don't listen to his podcasts but on twitter he's stopped making excuses and basically just said "There are some really lovely guys but they give me complete creative freedom and independence so that's why I'm here"

I never understood the appeal of PFT guy. What exactly does he accomplish? He seems like the textbook example of "satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize"

The idea was very funny at the beginning and served really well by his writing ability. Once he branched into audio and visual media it killed a crucial part of the illusion, because the image and sound of a pseudonymous forum poster should be filled by your imagination. The bit is just weird now and even in tweet form it really just ran its course.

I'm more curious about the influence of a guy like Trill Withers. He has a pull on social media and seemingly some NBA circles that would allow a notoriously white outfit like Barstool to branch out in ways which it's been previously unable.

even as a Certified Mayo Lover i'm totally fine with him hating on mayo and that's not really my beef - he does that hyperbole shtick well enough that i wholly enjoy it even when i'm not in agreement with him

it's the people that hear things like "oh i hate mayo" and get so hot about it that they feel the need to stan a goddamned condiment, for whatever reason

I'd wait before I judge. I highly doubt they'll portray the Turkish government in a positive light. And it was a big get to interview Hedo for this.
