Barstool added another show to the lineup today, and this one comes with a color scheme. Poor Decisions, hosted by Green Greg and Burnsy, launched across all platforms at 3:30pm ET, with the official show account billing it as covering "Burns, Greg, the sports world and the open road." Simple pitch, chaotic energy.
The Yak crew hyped the premiere in the hours before launch, with the announcement counting down to the 3:30 EST go-time.
The green theming wasn't subtle. Hours before the show even went live, the Yak crew was already dressed for the occasion — green robes, green polos, green everything — treating launch day like a genuine event rather than just another podcast drop.
Once it actually went live, the reaction was immediate. Kate posted from what looked like the studio floor, pumping her fist and spelling out GREG in green squares, and the Yak's own account followed with a shot of the crew crowded around a screen, cheering and applauding like something bigger than a podcast premiere was unfolding.
The crew reacted live in-studio the moment the show went up, cheering and clapping as it hit the feed.
The fanbase leaned all the way into the bit. Jeff D. Lowe claimed to have picked up the "physical media version" of a show that, obviously, does not exist on physical media — a joke dry enough that Stoolies Clubhouse fired back calling it the "GG collector edition." TJ chimed in simply locked in for the debut. It's the kind of overboard, tongue-in-cheek fandom that tends to follow a new Barstool property out of the gate, whether or not anyone's actually watched an episode yet.
By the evening, Stoolies Clubhouse was reporting the show had actually broken through and started trending — a real signal for a brand-new podcast on day one, when most launches quietly find their audience over weeks, not hours.
Whether Poor Decisions turns into a permanent fixture or a one-hit trending topic is the next question. Barstool's stable is crowded, and plenty of shows get a hot launch day before settling into the churn. But between the pre-show hype, the in-studio celebration, and a fanbase already inventing merch that doesn't exist, Green Greg and Burnsy got about as loud a debut as a new show can ask for.
