You Won't Believe Which Barstool Employee Offered Doitche a Place to Stay | The Yak 2-9-26

Steven recounted a confusing story about his laptop being stolen from an overhead compartment on a flight. Despite claiming 100% certainty he had it, his narrative included fumbling through security, exiting the wrong way, and a previous incident of leaving a backpack on a TSA belt. The hosts were highly skeptical, suggesting he likely forgot it in an Uber or on the plane, rather than it being 'stolen' mid-flight.

Steven's conflicting account of having the laptop in the Uber, then going through security twice, and then it disappearing from an overhead compartment on a flight where he was asleep. The hosts repeatedly suggested he left it in an Uber.

New Barstool hire Deutsch revealed his career path involved a series of short-term, varied jobs, including a notable stint as a Nielsen data collector. His role involved cold-knocking on doors with balloons and gift baskets, pretending people won a sweepstakes, to convince them to allow Nielsen technicians to monitor their TV and computer usage for $50-$150 a month. He often struck out or found no one home, sometimes driving for hours for no result. This was part of his long-term goal to eventually work for Barstool.

Deutsch detailing his Nielsen job, including the 'goodie bag and balloons' approach, the monitoring of 'everything that they do and watch,' the payment structure for households (e.g., Hispanic people got more money), and the challenges of finding homeowners or getting into apartment buildings.

The Super Bowl brought significant emotional and financial fallout for several Barstool personalities. Dave Portnoy's Patriots lost, leading him to declare his companions a 'jinx' for future events after he lost a $42,000 bet. Hank faced 'cancellation' online for his critical take on the Bad Bunny halftime show, which he framed as a critique of football's international expansion. Fulli, wearing full pads, was visibly depressed after the Patriots' defeat, with reports of him 'tearing up' and being 'very depressed' on the bus ride home.

Deutsch, having moved to Chicago without a ready apartment, accepted an offer from Ben Mincy to stay at his apartment while Mincy is in Turkey. This arrangement is temporary, with Deutsch's own apartment becoming available mid-February. The hosts expressed interest in Deutsch providing a 'full detail and report' on Mincy's living situation.

Deutsch confirming he is 'living with the Mint man in Ben Mince's apartment' because Mincy is 'going to Turkey tomorrow' and offered his place. Deutsch's apartment isn't ready until February 15th.
