He worked for a gambling company and IIRC Dave was trying to place some bet and they basically wouldn’t do it for him. Dave went ballistic told his followers to spam the company, Brandon happened to be doing a live stream and his stream went crazy with people going after the company. Brandon handled it well and Dave hired him. I might have some of the specifics incorrect but that’s the general idea
I think it’s because my bookie was making it hard for people to withdrawal their winnings and Dave caught wind of it
Yeah MyBookie tweeted something at Pres, because he wanted to bet 100K on Texas Tech (I think) during the Final Four. Think he was saying no one would take his bet, and they said they would but kind of did it in a “you’re scared” way IIRC which fired him up. Then people tweeted Dave about how they are sketchy with payouts and stuff so he went crazy and everyone went into some Periscope Walker did and trolled him but he just went with it. Think Dave called him and said he had 24 hours to agree to a job/move up to NYC.
He’s married with like 3-4 kids, but from the stories I’ve heard him tell about it he said his wife pretty much was on board right away. Basically asked him “how big can this be?” (or something like that) and he said pretty big so she said OK lol (not sure if that’s in the video above or another one)
That was a great day. My bookie basically called Dave a fake gambler, which is probably the most offensive thing anyone could ever say to him. They talked to him on the radio and he was hired and hosting a show like an hour later. I think they lost some of that by not having radio anymore. Think Dave got too caught up with how much Stern was making (which is insane as he just took another 2 months off). I used to listen to the Yak every day and really haven’t listened since they went YouTube only.
Dave’s thing was that he could do his podcast once or twice a week and make more money than what Sirius was offering him and they wanted him to do 3-5 days a week 1-2 hour long shows. I hate they don’t have barstool radio anymore i loved the yak and the gambling show. But now when I’m in my car during those time slots i just listen to McAfees show on Sirius.
Holy shit, I remember reading this Reddit post back when it happened. Had no idea this is what ended up happening.
I enjoy the Monday snake drafts on The Dog Walk. That Chicago group has a good diversity of personalities that mesh well.
so i guess glenny has a line of beach wear now? https://instagram.com/ballsbeachwear?utm_medium=copy_link
Saw a thread on Reddit a few weeks ago that they “stole” the logo from some guy lol he tweeted it at Glenny and they just ran with it (I think). Not sure what ever came of it.
Not sure if any of you are LCB guys, but thats ending. Trill and Kenjac’s banter was the best. That was my last real tie to any barstool properties, probably the right time to move on
