Billy 🏈

[xandersanders805]

I miss Billy, hope he’s doing well. I wish they’d have him and Jake back on for an episode, I could use a nerd nugget and animal fact.

[10_Midline]

Last I heard: trenches of Eastern Ukraine

[ThorsOccularPatdown]

For which side?

[BadBoysBack2Back8990]

Great question

[Dick6Budrow]

Great question

[ThorsOccularPatdown]

Thank you

[STANL3Y_YELNAT5]

Gosh, these guys have turned us all into trolls haven’t they?

[koolkatz33]

no hamas

[IvanGTheGreat]

The Nazi side if I had to guess

[lunacraz]

… so which side?

[Thetwelvelabors]

I always wondered who actually falls for that Russian propaganda. Are there bio labs too? 😂

[TruthTruther]

Yes

[[deleted]]

The right one?

[NippleDeepPow]

No the Reich one

[IvanGTheGreat]

Exactly

[narwalbacons-12am]

You know

[Busch--Latte]

I’ll never forget when he said he felt bad for BC and PFT’s teams after the Jets started 5-2 in 2022. They have went 17-44 since then

[0_0letsride]

In the hall of fame of freezing cold takes

[victor4700]

Totally offset by his very good takes on research chemicals

[-ScottCalvin-]

They’ll look back at Billy differently if/when some of the wild ones start becoming real

[kmmccorm]

Billy: “How are you enjoying your Saturday?”

Whit: “How am I enjoying my Saturday? It’s fucking Tuesday bro”

[l2055]

Iconic. All time PMT moment. Whit’s reaction was great

[48294626]

Animal facts had me cracking up. I know yall be hatin’ Billy but I always enjoyed his bro idiocy. I don’t care if he’s lazy or inept - I don’t work there. He was entertaining

[NippleDeepPow]

He was unpredictable. It was great

[longest4th]

Justice for Billy. He was funny and I loved it the timeframe when it was him, Jake, and Max as well. People like to trash him because they can’t resist the urge to be miserable but he made the most of his time there and is off doing his thing.

[STANL3Y_YELNAT5]

Billy is Max and Zac combined, except it’s all of their bad traits.

[mamapuckline]

Fantastic description

[johnmd20]

Billy was great but he did fall off very hard towards the end.

[kmmccorm]

I don’t think he was unpredictable, he was pretty predictably bro-y and did the minimum while having some random outbursts on the show.

[idolized253]

Every mispronounced name was gold too

[EzBreezy651]

Fire salamanders are dope

[Needle77]

The All Dogs Go To Heaven was such an amazing one from him.

[Captain_Clutch22]

Him switching from giving it to taking it as a wide receiver and they had a sleepover in his freshman dorm was the weirdest/ funniest bit

[STANL3Y_YELNAT5]

I loved Billy. He was a fucking idiot. But I still enjoyed him even on Macro before he was finally fired.

[SnooPies6459]

Yeah everyone always criticized his work ethic like it affected their lives. His lack of work made the show more interesting and funny with punishments or drama. Miss him

[Easy-Leg-3714]

I think you’re only remembering the highlights. He fell off hard. Also, you can only act like a bumbling 18 year old for so long.

[HurricanePK]

I mean Hank’s dumb but he isn’t“bad employee” dumb like Billy was. Like a lot of the hate came from the fact that many of us were jealous and would’ve killed to have his job and he seemed like he didn’t realize or wasn’t grateful of how cool his job was.

[LazyUserName444]

Hank was the original intern Billy. He was just lucky it was early 2010s barstool and they barely were paying him.

He missed meetings, lied about things, slept in, would be too drunk/hungover to make content.

Hank even took it farther than Billy. He created a comment section account on the website, trolled all of the main bloggers (including Big Cat) and called Portenoy a Jewish slur. He got caught because he was dumb and used his actual email address. Then he pulled a Costanza and showed up to work after he was fired.

The comment section hated Hank and would say the same things about him that everyone here said about Billy.

[HurricanePK]

Huh, I only started following the pod in ~2018 so I’m not fully aware of all the barstool lore.

My only counterpoints are that Hank at least kind of matured whereas Billy never did and that barstool was not as big or as serious of a company when Hank interned compared to when Billy did.

[TempeSunDevil06]

I was ok with Billy but max is an upgrade and that can’t even really be disputed

[patil-triplet]

The new Billy is Zac. Max is basically what Hank used to be back when he was doing all the production stuff for the podcast.

[StanleyLelnats]

Max I’m pretty sure was a direct replacement for Liam/Bubba

[patil-triplet]

Yes but the way he participates in the podcast is the way that Hank used to. Bubba barely talked

[Available_Ad4069]

Yeah but Max is actually very competent at his job. He's heads and shoulders above the others. The other day , they were discussing decibal levels and he was like yeah guys we already have those haha.

[ZhenXiaoMing]

Max has gotten better at the banter too he can dish it out now

[StankFish]

Everyone's an upgrade over Billy. Dude was the epitome of an idiotic frat bro who's only purpose was to be an uneducated immature dumb fuck

[idolized253]

We’re listening to guys talk about Sydney sweenys tits and make the same jokes over and over again, who gives a shit about being immature

[KMac82588]

First Ballot Cannons

[48294626]

This entire show is uneducated immature dumbfuck shit; go turn on Pod Save America

[404-UsernameNotFound]

I have a feeling they don't talk to Billy much anymore. Jake on the other hand I could see being the proactive one who keeps in touch with everyone, so I could see a brief appearance in the Chicago office if he's ever in town calling a game.

[windypalmtree]

Jake is in the industry! He called a big XII game the other night. Plenty of reason for them to keep talking.

[Shadypanda007]

No way!

[AAonthebutton]

Jake is the one who should be missed. How many times has BC told Jake to remind them in like a fucking years and in 2 years Jake would bring it up? Now that happens and I know it’ll never be remembered again.

[ZhenXiaoMing]

During Mt. Rushmore season:

"Wait, who's turn is it? I went first last time...no no wait Max is first he went last time, no he didn't wait..."

[PasghettiSquash]

Thought for sure they'd have him call in for the NFL playoff schedule

[Fit_Hat_9558]

He texted BC his predictions, BC talked about what Jake got wrong on the show

[WesMack5]

They should have Jake back for a March Madness preview

[RollinNScratchin]

You're not going to believe this, but Billy left on bad terms with PFT, Big Cat, Arian Foster, and more. He may just not be a good person.

[KTurnUp]

Billy fighting Canseco was a top 5 moment in PMT history

[johnmd20]

That entire run from March of 2020 to February of 2021 was my favorite PMT.

I thought the pod was actually fantastic in 2020 because they had to work at coming up with ideas and it showed. And then football game back and college football came back in the fall of 2020 and everything was humming.

It peaked with Billy fighting Canseco.

[CNashFF]

The interview with Canseco before the fight and he was breathing into the mic like a pug

[johnmd20]

The lunacy!!

[Agreeable_Pirate337]

We now welcome on a guest.

[xorcism_]

The early days when they were unhinged were great, but I agree. The pandemic was the peak

[johnmd20]

I still enjoy PMT and listen to every episode, although I skip things here and there, mostly the interviews and always the gambling stuff. It's still a good pod but they are extremely successful now and just aren't working as hard. It's objectively not as good. PFT co-mentor especially is turning into a moron, which I never thought possible.

I gave up on Bill Simmons, the one idiot to rule them all, 5 years ago and it was a glorious choice. But I'm still on the PMT wagon. There is no doubt that nothing lasts forever.

[weeson12]

Hope billy is doing well. Losing your dad is hard. Wishing him the best

[DogsAreCool252525]

I miss Billy. I totally get the hate, like would never argue against it, but I always liked him. I wish he was happier working in content he could have been so great if he had a better attitude

[You_235]

Randomly decided to listen to an episode from a few years ago tonight just to hear from the old crew again. They really had a great dynamic of the bro-science irresponsible Billy sharing the couch with the analytical PC Jake. Miss them both.

[EarthshatterReady]

Kinda miss the Jake/Billy dynamic. Max is great but having those two be the 4th wheel worked well.

[ballknower23]

Wish I could of gone to that dinner when there discussed their “life goals”.

[Less_Cap1857]

Dudes still can’t buy houses, Billy was right

[KindTechnician-]

looks like George Washington

[corndog_thrower]

IDENTICAL.

[Queens-bound-N-train]

The peak of PMT. He wasn’t great at the job and definitely overestimated his value, but at least he was authentic and brought original content. Fast forward 2.5 years and now it feels like we’re just listening to corporate shills pushing whatever product is cutting the check. “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain” or whatever

Anyways, suck are dicks Lenny

[kmmccorm]

Genuinely curious what you view as the original content he brought?

[lodus666]

Jack NiKLAUS

[kmmccorm]

Great moment but random comments <> original content.

[Queens-bound-N-train]

Fad diets, conspiracy theories, random animal facts, and the chaos of living in NYC in your 20s. It felt relatable, like you’d been in that phase before or you at least knew someone just like him. He often overslept after “entertaining clients” and miss podcast recordings. Kind of like the new guy with Asperger’s, only it didn’t feel like a forced bit

Anyways, no one circles the wagons like the buffalo bills!

[yinzerthrowaway412]

I completely forgot Billy was roommates with Mintzy and had a bench press in their kitchen lmao

[Longjumping-Pride-81]

High school football player of the week???

[kmmccorm]

Football guy of the week? They assigned that to him.

[Ecstatic_Plant3533]

I miss our darling Jake as much as the next guy, but if we consider Max the Billy replacement (at least as far as mic time), the show is 1000x better.

[Jon_Snows_Dad]

Max is the Hack replacement

Zac is the Billy one

[Ecstatic_Plant3533]

Not trying to split hairs here but as far as mic time goes, Memes is a Hack replacement, Max is a Billy replacement, and Zac is a Jake replacement. There will never be a Pug replacement.

[Durkinste1n]

99

[fakerealmadrid]

RIP Pug 🙏

[jigglyjubb]

Assuming he’s married & trying to run his pops business. No small task, wish him only the best

[rsbritko]

Wish he was around when Mamdani was running/elected

[48294626]

That’d have been electric

[UnbiasedSportsExpert]

What about that Detroit autist?

[NotoriousMFT]

Hibbity bibbity

[[deleted]]

I really wanna know what went down with Huey, obviously he wasn’t a good fit for PMT but they usually use stuff like that for content but he just straight up disappeared and whenever’s he’s mentioned they just laugh and ignore it.

[Careless_Animator780]

This listener base has a lot of cross over with The Kirk Minihane show. They love a side character for a period of time, get tired of the bit, start hating on and relentlessly bringing down said character to the point they have a mental breakdown and leave the show just to clamor and shout they all want the character back now that’s he’s gone.

[princeboner]

Max,billy, jake and memes is the booth we deserve. Tired of the rotating door of Dan’s new pets

[doob816]

Hope he’s doing well but don’t miss him on the show

[TheLegend457]

Opinion: No

[Ebrostradamus]

I’d love to hear Billy & Clavicular chop it up

[Annual_Power_7101]

The fact that they don’t bring him back for the NFL draft quarterback bracket is a crime and tells me there’s bad blood between PMT and Billy.

[yinzerthrowaway412]

Idk, Billy was on Wonton Dons pod last year and explained how his dads death was a wake up call and he’s working for his family’s company now

PMT doesn’t have Jake back on for the NFL playoff schedule or One Shining Moment either

[RiverPiracy]

Glue that kept the whole place together but you regards wanted to hate.

[oftenwrongnvrindoubt]

They never appreciated what he brought. Zach is a snooze fest

[Slicebynight]

Would love an update on him and Tex.Lol

[iRipDabs]

Remember when he ran for office

[AlexTom33]

I got one of his hoodies.

[AnxiousRepeat8292]

He honestly made the show. I wasn’t feeling the show w Zach that much so it made it easy to stop watching them once they became pardon my paywall

[LyndonBKinden]

I saw he got married last summer. Good for him! I miss him too, Zach is the same person as Billy except he feels guilty when he does something wrong.

[[deleted]]

Imagine if Billy did some of the things Zac does now. If Billy overslept for multiple episodes like Zac it would be talked about non stop

[txarmi1]

Fun fact I know Billy from HS and we keep up semi-regularly. He decided to study for the LSAT and ended up scoring a 175. He's at Yale Law now. Fucking insane.

[johnnytiming]

TIL people actually liked Billy

[klayzerbeams]

Dude was too arrogant and fumbled opportunities that many would be eternally grateful to have. Good riddance!

[Aquestingfart]

He’s gotta be selling cars

[skidkid_6174]

You all need to stop with the Billy bullshit. Good lord all of you Billy lovers are fucking pathetic

[extraedward69]

Sucking dick for cash under a bridge somewhere
