Bussin With the Boys Is Leaving Barstool Sports

Bussin With The Boys featuring Will Compton & Taylor Lewan is no more. Well, no more at Barstool Sports anyway. Another group of talent has been poached away from Barstool as Dave Portnoy confirmed the podcast will be leaving their network.

The news was revealed during a livestream of Portnoy’s Unnamed Show podcast on Friday.

“It sucks, I told Bussin’ I made what I think was my most aggressive move to keep them,” Portnoy said. “But this is the world that we’re in, really, and we’ve been in. Whether it’s Jenna Marbles, (Alex) Cooper, (Pat) McAfee, them, Caleb (Pressley), there’s always more value for a company taking talent than already here. But they’re like (Jared) Carrabis times a million. They got an offer that was so big, it’s like I can’t [match].”

“Almost everybody who leaves Barstool says when they leave, ‘You better make us an offer that isn’t even close to what they are because we want to stay,’” Portnoy added. “Will wants to stay, Taylor wants to stay, but it’s a compliment to Barstool. People just pillage us. They can’t build people up, they can’t make the stars, it’s Saturday Night Live. We make stars. And if we paid those guys what they wanted, and we paid Cooper what (she) wanted, and we paid McAfee, we wouldn’t have a company.”

“I was willing to pay them money that we would have been losing money,” Portnoy said. “These gambling companies are operating still losing millions and millions, they don’t care.”

When Dave Portnoy used the line “We don’t rebuild, we reload” after hiring Fred Smoot, this is what he meant. I guess Smoot will be part of the solution towards replacing the Taylor Lewan and Will Compton crew.

Portnoy can say whatever he wants but there is a reason why they keep losing people. He’s already on record for saying the company is bleeding money. Barstool makes far less money than they lead on. They have a terrible culture where people don’t work hard and expect hand outs. Then when the stars shine, they can’t afford to keep them. Based on how much money Penn gave him, Portnoy should have all the money in the world to keep the people he wants to keep. Except that hasn’t been the case. It’s because he can’t keep up with his own lifestyle or the company generates far less revenue than he leads on. It’s probably both.

It would appear the Bussin crew is heading to a gambling network. Time will tell who that ultimately becomes.
