You invest your time in a person - when you find out that person you invest time in has been living a total lie the entire time, it changes how you view that person. Similar to when KFC got exposed for cheating on his wife - look what has happened to him and his "brand" since that "incident". Same goes for Big Cat. He frames himself to be this "open book" and "honest" type of guy - when it comes out he's been living a lie for a decade, it hurts the image of who that person is. That's just human nature and how the world works. When people listen to Big Cat going forward now, there will be that thing in the back of your head - it just is what it is. Is it good he's finally "coming clean" about it? Yes. Is it silly he didn't "admit" it years ago? Yes, but he didn't because he knew he built his ENTIRE "brand" and reputation on being the "Chicago guy" - and did EVERYTHING in his power to keep it hidden he's not from Chicago. It is what it is - he did this to himself. Is it "silly" people care? No, because people invested a lot of time into him and who he is - and to find out he's been lying this entire time, it makes you look at that person different. I like Big Cat - he seems like a nice guy - but has he been lying to his audience this entire time? Yes.
@@brettcollins7512are you genuinely saying not being honest about where you’re from due to sports fandom is the same as cheating on your pregnant wife?
if you really think about it this whole thing is fascinating from a sociological standpoint. like how is fandom determined and how does fandom evolve? familial ties vs geographic ties vs personal ties vs some other ties? it's all high level academia shit
@@Frank-qz8ut he said he was a Bears fan before he started working with Barstool- he had family from there, they were his #2 team, he loved the city when he went to college and permanently moved there after. He would've stayed in Chicago and been a Chicago sports fan even if he never joined Barstool. He just never fully revealed his background bc of how ruthless the fans/commenters were, he thought he'd be DOA.
You can definitely tell Dan loves Chicago and Chicago teams and his explanation of not admitting it at first makes sense. The only people who give a shit are Kirk guys so its all good.
It makes sense to be a fraud and pretend you're from chicago because why exactly? Because he turned his ankle walking on curbs too often was his reason I think. Glad that made sense to you.
it really doesn't make sense to be a Boston suburb teenager at the beginning of the Patriots Dynasty and not have them as your favorite team. That's like Barron Trump being part of "White Guys for Harris"
This is like when Hank Hill found out he was born in the lady’s restroom in Yankee Stadium. It doesn’t matter cause he’s a Texan in his heart. Same for Big Cat with Chicago.
people shouldn't be ashamed of where they're from. Mass is a 10X state with probably the highest 10X per capita. People should care about being from Mass and be proud of being from Mass and be repping Mass 10X always.
As a Bears fan, Dan will always have my respect and now even more.... The fact he could have chose the Patriots as his main team, the polar opposite of Da Bears, tells me he is a true fan. Someone being "Fake" would have rode the Brady bus and not the McCaskey casket.... Keep your head up Dan. We all still love ya. 🐻⬇️
He was always a Patriots fan. He only chose Chicago because Barstool needed a Chicago guy to capture the Chicago market. It was simply the most profitable move he could make in a Capitalist society. follow the money baby. it all makes sense.
@@jacksevert3099dude… you’re acting like Barstool was a 9 figure company back then. He slightly conformed so he could make a living following his passion. I wear a suit to work everyday but I don’t in my free time… guess I’m a fraud for chasing the bag??
@@jacksevert3099 also why wouldn't Dan and barstool open up in California, Texas, or Florida back then. Bigger markets, more teams per state, and more of a population. If Dan and dave were worried about supporting a different team for revenue then I'm guessing they would have went for those markets ... I'm a bears fan and to think they chose Chicago to gain money as a company is BANANAS. Win, lose, or tie bears fan till I die and Im not from Chicago 🐻⬇️
@dazohan3628 Dan was working for Barstool Chicago and Barstool Chicago needed a Chicago guy in Barstool to be the Barstool Chicago guy. The obvious and most profitable decision was for Dan to be the Barstool Chicago guy despite Dan being a Barstool guy from Boston. Get it?
Instead of a case race how about a birthday bash race. Each team needs to drink a 30 pack of beer eat a full pizza, eat a sheet cake and one person must do a perfect pin the tail on the donkey.
In all fairness Big Cat we as humans aren't wired to hear others say those things to you when they're faceless and you're just getting destroyed constantly online. That's tough on ya. There was a reason it bothered you, it should. 90 percent of these folks just want to say something so wild to you that you bring it up in a show. It's pathetic. 10X
@@alexsharif2619 he's left an obscene amount of comments over another dude's sports fandom and wants to call others pathetic. It's truly bizarre the way their minds work
Who hates on BC? He’s been a main player who’s lifted Barstool shows like the yak into the popularity that it’s at now. Barstool overall wouldn’t be where its at without the help of big cat! Some people are so skewed from the real world that they hate on someone for being born in a location they don’t deem their “home”

25:02 nick is defending bigcat wayyyyyy too hard and its probably because he hasn't watched the episodes. I dont care that bigcat is from Newton, this is year old news on KMS, but the way bigcat quit was pathetic. Played so hard and backstabbed everyone and then had so much regret that he wanted to play both sides. A mental breakdown and the worst showing of bigcats career. Still love the guy but it was hard to be a bigcat fan last night. That episode was brutal to watch.
There is a parish on the south side of Chicago named St. Cajetan. I went to grade school there and could definitely set you up to get that thang blessed at thee St.Cajetan church, possibly have you ordained as proper Chicagoan as well (no promises). We love some big cat down here
Big Cat, who the hell cares where you grew up.....your love for all things Chicago is very apparent and where you lived growing up should not dictate what franchise you are supposed to support. Hell, I am born and raised in Miami, but am a lifelong Steelers fan.
Yankees fans in New England (besides western half of Connecticut) used to get their a$$ handed to them back in the day before the Liberal Progressives took over.
I cant believe theres no official surviving barstool recap show... Why can't we get the yak to do it and throw a 5min delay on it or even better, just dont air it live.... This is like the biggest Barstool thing ever and theres no barstool recap show, barstool radio, just the 12min rundowns that talk about it for 2min...crazy
BC went 8 mile on us to start the show. I am Dan, I am from Massachusetts, I did star in plays when I was young.
& his real name is Kirkland
Need to know who he played in Les Mis.
@@Wendall989for sure need to know that, then you can finally be validated
16:52 #1 joke of the stream today. "I caught you in the stall one time eating chowder"

This must be the serious episode. Nice work Marc blutman!
