PMT 10-14 -Bill Burr in studio -Brandon Walker talking CFB -Baseball Playoffs -Bills beat Rams in MNF thriller -Hot Seat/Cool Throne and Guys on Chicks Listen/Watch —> t.co/AN4p4ZDLRO

The episode had plenty in it: Brandon Walker on college football, playoff baseball, the Bills beating the Rams in a Monday night thriller, Hot Seat/Cool Throne and Guys on Chicks. Burr covered everything from how he'd fix the NBA to what he likes about the WNBA to a breathwork massage that apparently calmed his anger. The clip that took off, though, was about Barstool itself. Asked about his favorite piece of Barstool content, Burr went straight to a blackjack table.

Throwback to this all time blackjack moment between @stoolpresidente and @EddieBarstool t.co/ORDRWE7FMU

The video is Eddie's bad beat from a blackjack session with Portnoy, a clip Barstool fans have been passing around since 2023. Dave later explained the hand on X. As he remembered it, Eddie split 8s against a dealer 4 and doubled down on one of the hands to get to 19. Then the dealer flipped a 7 and a 10, made 21 and took all 3 hands. It was close to the best spot you can get against a dealer and it still went to zero. The real comedy was Eddie's face while it happened.

Burr has been a PMT regular for years, and he has never pretended to be anything but a sports fan from Boston. In another clip from the same episode, Barstool called him a Patriots ball knower for how he broke down the team. Getting a comedian of his stature to name an Eddie meltdown as a favorite is about as good a review as Barstool's gambling content is going to get.

Eddie saw the clip that night and did the obvious thing: he asked for a rematch with a much funnier guy at the table.

Bill Burr’s favorite barstool clip is Eddie’s bad blackjack beat “One of the funniest fuckin videos I ever saw” - Bill Burr

Nobody has booked it yet, but it's an easy one to make. Barstool already runs big blackjack streams with Dave and a rotating cast, and Burr just said on air that he's a fan of the genre. If Eddie gets him to a table, the over/under on Burr narrating an Eddie collapse in real time should be about 1 hand. Somebody get the man a chair.
