Tommy Smokes credits The Apartment for a weekly live show

The best line from the new episode was Tommy Smokes playing the most obvious idea in content creation as a stroke of genius.

“How else would we have come up with the idea of a once a week live show if we didn’t rent an apartment?” -Tommy Smokes

That's the joke. A weekly live show is about the least original format in podcasting, and Tommy is crediting a whole lease for it. It also tells you where the show might be going. The Apartment's whole premise, per Barstool's own show page, is "If we don't get views. We get evicted." The crew makes content out of a shared apartment and runs stunts and challenges to cover the rent. A regular live night is the most reliable way to keep views coming in, and that's the only way they keep the place.

Don't put a day and time on your calendar yet. The quote is a bit, not an announcement, and the show's release schedule so far has been uneven. Episodes have come out at irregular gaps since September, with a few labeled as live events. A fixed weekly live slot would be a real change, and nothing official has said when it starts.

The rest of the episode stuck to what the show does best, which is the guys roasting each other. One segment asked a question that has probably crossed the mind of everyone who works with Fasoli.

What would Fasoli be doing if Barstool never existed?

It's a great hypothetical for this cast, because the show is built on the idea that they're one bad month from losing the apartment. The episode also had a lighter observational bit about how guys and girls greet each other differently.

The difference between the way guys greet eachother and the way girls greet eachother:

The real takeaway is the weekly live show. If it happens, The Apartment goes from a show that drops whenever it drops to an appointment show, and that's when it starts competing with the rest of Barstool's live lineup. Tommy Smokes made it sound like a joke. Whether it shows up on a schedule is the thing to watch.
