Is Patrick Mahomes Now The Goat? + Stu Feiner's Insane Gambling Life

Recorded: January 24th 2024 | In this week's episode we are joined by the man, the myth, the legend, Stu Feiner. He blessed us with his presence on Slips & Picks and following that, he hopped on the bus to chat with the boys. This whole pod really feels like story time Uncle Stu.
The guys immediately get into it and start all the way from the beginning. Stu gives his life story from where he grew up, the struggles he had as a kid by getting bullied in school and the tough home life he had with his family. He gets into some crazy stories from his childhood and it seemed like he had some wild story from each grade growing up.
Following his childhood, he dives into how he got into the sports gambling world and became the biggest sports picker in the country. Stu talks about why he decided he wanted to get into the gambling world and all of the different roadblocks that he ran into on his way to the top. He talks about how many lucky breaks he has had but also gets into the massive unlucky breaks he had, some including missing out on 10's of millions of dollars. As he is telling these stories from back in the day, you can't help but visualize everything that is happening and it almost makes it feel like he was a part of an old gangster/mafia movie. Some of the stories he gets into just seem unbelievable but they are most certainly true.
Finally the guys get into the movie that was made about Stu "Two For The Money". He talks about the backstory in that movie getting made and how never saw anything from the movie, he wasn't even allowed to be at the premiere of the movie. After this interview, you can't help but think Stu is one of the most interesting people alive. Strap in and enjoy!

Get on the bus with NFL players Will Compton & Taylor Lewan! The Boys are letting you in on their hilarious, high-energy (and often heartfelt) conversations. Topics range from exclusive stories to active player perspectives to out-of-left-field hot takes on things you and your friends only discuss behind closed doors. Sometimes they chat with a guest, sometimes it's just the two of them, but it's always a good time when you're Bussin' With The Boys.
And yes, this is the podcast where Mike Vrabel said he'd cut his piece off for a Super Bowl.

[@Orinveidt]

I’ve been a Stu fan for awhile but hearing him just sit and tell his story without the usual Stu scream and yell is amazing. What a storyteller.

[@ryanfootball3610]

I was thinking the same!!!!

[@allan.randall]

Perfectly said! Loved hearing Stu’s life story!

[@UCNCFootball]

Great storyteller and tremendous episode. I grew up in West Babylon and know the exact building Stu had his office- about five minutes from my house.

[@Ryan-ou3cd]

I appreciate the Boys for letting Stu tell his story and not interrupting him…it’s why yall are the best

[@meepk633]

I wish they would have interrupted and asked him to get to the good parts. 90% of it is just a laundry list of boring anecdotes that don't go anywhere. And from what I can gather, people are listening to this when they've already got the gist from other podcasts. I'm not trying to be rude. It's just baffling.

[@DefNotAdog]

@meepk633 There's some of that, but this is a man who is a dying breed. He's explaining how is life went & how it eventually shaped his morals. It was a beautiful & much different time in America.

[@meepk633]

@@DefNotAdogIt seems like he's talking about being involved with petty criminals for a lot of it. Which part of that is beautiful or different? Then he made a bunch of money selling magic beans to degenerate gamblers? How is that moral?

[@Djamieson713]

@@meepk633yeah Stu sounds like he’s full of shit. He’s a character and good for content but the guy is full of shit

[@nathanak1]

@@meepk633 god dam you suck dude

[@kevinblue1976]

Stu is the best this might be the greatest interview/life story I’ve seen

[@chrissmith3059]

I was just about to say that. It’s so compelling. Knowing him from advisors though, you don’t know if he’s bullshitting a little bit lol 😂

[@casualsports90]

This is one of those podcasts where you're listening for 2 hours and the time just flies by. I'm glad Stu got the time to tell his incredible history of being in the gambling business

[@LunasWorld333]

Jesus, Stu became the sports Advisor because he had to watch sports so intensely to determine if his dad was going to beat them. What a beginning

[@Tpurdy17]

I can literally visualize this whole story just like the boys said at the beginning

[@allan.randall]

Stu’s life literally was a movie…what an unbelievable storyteller!

[@bigpopslaflare]

This is my first time watching bussin.. here for Stu

[@cartertheviking]

same

[@rycummings5332]

stay a while

[@shrodis]

READY TO ROLL

[@kabyone76]

$69!!!!! FAVORITE NUMBA FAVORITE POSITIONNNNNNNN

[@Jacob-ey7mv]

They sat down and Stu did the rest. This rocked, what a listen

[@shrodis]

First time hearing the story about Stu’s history with his father. Still takes care of him to this day even after his rough upbringing, says a lot about Stu as a man

[@Brucejlifts]

When they create a HOF for podcasts this is going first ballot. As a tier 1 this is the best Bussin pod to date imo.

[@ojuice54]

best podcast EVER,. Just incredibly brilliant beautiful and artful storytelling

[@MikePallat]

One of the best episodes ever , Long Island Legend

[@ericwackowski7747]

This was a fantastic episode!!! Stu is the freakin man!! I’m 47 and I still remember being paddled in school!! I tell my kids about that and they can’t believe it. Even in the 90s here in Tennessee we were paddled in school. Love ya Stu and love Bussin’ with the boys!!

[@kevinlanning2727]

Growing up in Massapequa love hearing him talk about his roots. Dairy Barn etc

[@mikey-domagala]

I’m in bethpage but always in Massapequa/Seaford/Levittown/Farmingdale areas. I love the references as well ‼️

[@wjack89]

Imagine Stu and Joey Diaz together. Podcast title: The Greatest Stories Ever Told

[@acupwithchris4630]

It already exists

[@coleacoveno1184]

He was on joeys

[@juggernaut8791]

This was such a good interview. Loved hearing Stu talk when he’s not doing his whole act. Stu is such a good story teller I’d personally love a podcast from him where he tells more like that.

[@brycecarafa910]

Been on the Stu wagon for years and this is the best interview he has ever given at Barstool

[@mosesonaquasar]

By a mile

[@cbrucephoto]

This was one of my favorite podcast interviews ever. Stu is electric. Hearing his story made me such a bigger fan of him. Shout out to the boys keep doing your thing!

[@hugh-jasole]

Absolutely amazing interview. This is like when Joey Diaz goes on Rogan and just tells long ass entertaining stories that you could listen to for hours. Easily one of the best episodes of any Barstool podcast ever

[@dylanhamilton7755]

Stu told his story like The Last Dance documentary. Would go telling years on a timeline then fall back so many years to tell about his life growing up to explain how he was good at what it was he was doing. What a storyteller

[@marcpelu2558]

Living legend. Ready to roll!

[@brendancollins8283]

Big fan of the show and this is hands down the best episode yet. Stu is an incredible storyteller and unlike other podcasts the guys knew he was cookin and let him go instead of interrupting or trying to shift focus. Brilliantly done guys, Stu is a star!

[@ALPLMAO]

Best bussin to date. No question. An all timer

[@DA-lk5np]

Absolutely incredible interview with Stu. This needs to be seen by more people.

[@BrendonBets]

This was amazing. Always loved Stu, but this made me respect him so much more. Phenomenal story, need a movie about his life!

[@EDictiveHabits]

This is top 5 best podcasts of all time under the Barstool umbrella

[@sethfinnen5607]

Stu and Joey need to be on the bus at the same time just talking numbers and gambling and old Jersey New York stories to the boys.

[@kevinpolhemus]

The boys were hypnotized...

[@jake__w_thompson]

The Boys and Stu knocked it out of the park with this one.

[@NeonKC]

I hear that intro song and i immediately think about my dead dog of 3 years ago that can’t be good for an intro song

[@m0ondoggy12]

The fact that the song can touch that memory and emotion is what makes jt a real good song. You and your dog(🫡rip🙏) are best friends, to say the least. Definitely one of The Boys you want bussin with you, without question. The song isn’t bringing up your dog being dead. The song is bringing up the brotherhood, love, loyalty, trust, respect, real good times, shared low times, and connection you only get from The Boys we make friends with in life and The Dogs that find us. One love🙏🤙

[@flanksinatra007]

One of the best podcast episodes of any podcast I’ve ever listened too. Learned so much I didn’t know about Stu, incredible story.

[@tylercox7535]

I loved every second of this!!!! Thank you for doing this for Stu!!!!

[@SportsCultureFragrance]

It needs to be said but good shit by Will and Taylor not interrupting Stu for a whole hour! Easier said than done and other interviewers should take note

[@clav3284]

Like KFC! That dude is obsessed with hearing is own voice 😒

[@troy4493]

Stu is absolutely one of thee best, man what a life what a man...Legend!

Amazing ep- could listen to Stu for hours - the best storyteller!

[@benkapaldo]

I've heard Stu's story half a dozen times now on various shows. This was the best version yet; more (new) details than I ever recall hearing prior and great work from the boys just letting him flow w/o interruptions

[@Rikon1414]

This was insane, love Stu knew he had a crazy life no idea it was that bad. kudos to u guys for bringing him on best show yet

Wow this needs to get more views !! Stu was amazing

[@julianneborba92]

Loved this episode.. Stu story was wow! I thought I have heard a lot of the story, but I was totally wrong! Love Stu and the of course the bussin boys.. Stu’s positivity and charisma is electric and contagious. Love it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@christopherevans9221]

Ok, in my defense, I only comment when I criticize, so previous post is only criticism. I just finished the whole interview and the only words I have, I cannot write on this platform. Thank you Stu for opening up your life story that had been shrouded in mystery for many of us, and thank you to Will & Taylor for letting the man speak and getting out of his way. Better interview than Hannity, Maddow, Carlson, Cooper or Shapiro could’ve ever dreamed of doing. Stu, now we need you to do a Sundae Conversation with Caleb and Glenny Balls.

[@kobimoore6415]

This is amazing. I can’t stop watching.

This was outstanding!!!!

[@lsportsfan2255]

Takes courage to open up this way, good for Stu. Great episode

[@RYANSMITH-rs1fk]

You guys could do a 2 hour intro and I’d be all in. Jacks rasp sounds as beautiful as ever. Taylor’s curls are dancing. Mitch’s autism hasn’t even flared up. Beautiful episode boys!

[@alexdenbaugh]

Yo Mitch, good 50/50 questions are harder to come up with because if they aren't close to 50/50 and even 60/40, they become one sided and easy to answer. Go with open ended questions.

[@steezD5950]

What a great episode. I love BS Sports Advisors but this was amazing to hear Stu's story in a different setting. Appreciate you Stu!

[@Nick-nk6bp]

Stu and the boys are 🔥

[@donalds57]

Hearing there might be more live streams got me from 6 to midnight

[@DonSuedabaker]

Will, that’s exactly what happened to me! Watch this pod all the time, never told my wife about it. Became a dad in November, her present for me was the dad hat. Wore that thing to birth, was awesome.

[@Holla-mc]

Listening to Will give his shoutout no free shoutout to the new dads repping the dad hats. I just had my first child, a boy(so sry I can’t be part of the girl dad gang yet) on Dec 12 and I had mentioned to my wife that I loved your podcast and liked your dad hats. Sure enough on my birthday in January I got myself a dad hat so thanks brothers.

Big fucking ups to the boys. You guys sat and listened and let this man talk for hours Absolute fucking professionals!! #jackbeclappincheeksinvegas

[@michaelzinn1169]

Stu went full therapy mode here lol very entertaining and interesting

[@scaly007]

Loved this! Would love to see more of Stu like this!

[@just_call_me_desi]

Have heard many of Stu's story a bunch but him saying his dad loved his family while rage beating them is insane. Keeping my thoughts to myself but no chance in hell would I be wiping my dad's ass if he treated us like that. He'd be rotting in a nursing home. Stu is a better person I could ever be. Kudos.

[@josephscott9346]

What a motherfucking WOLF. Incredible story. Great pod BOYS. Can’t tell y’all enough how much y’all’s content does for me. Appreciate the hell out of you. BHTK
