Every few months the rest of the Barstool roster remembers that WSD has lived one of the most chaotic personal-finance lives in the building, and the cycle starts over. The latest entry: a resurfaced story about WSD renting out his personal car to random strangers through Turo, the peer-to-peer car-share app. The clips hit the timeline in waves and the whole office piled on.
The setup clip frames the bit: WSD, his car, and a stable of strangers behind the wheel.
WSD did not let the slander breathe. He hopped on his own timeline to clean it up point by point — it was 2018, Turo is a normal app a lot of people use, the car was a shitbox he didn't care about, and renting it out was free money while it sat in a spot doing nothing. His read is that this gets dragged out every time because someone in the room thinks it's the weirdest move imaginable, when really it's just a guy monetizing a depreciating asset.

So much slander in this clip: - It was 2018 I rented it out - It's a commonly used application (Turo) - It was a shitbox car I don't care about - I made extra $$$ while it sat there useless to me Danny would bring it up thinking it was the weirdest move of all time
The reason the bit actually works, though, is Eddie. Every WSD story turns into an Eddie wheeze-laugh showcase, and this one had him gone — crying-laughing thinking about everything that car had probably seen in the back seat over the years. Clem cued up the episode specifically for the wheeze, and Cons admitted Eddie's laugh is an instant smile every single time. Nate summed it up cleanly: Eddie telling WSD stories is must-watch content.

Donnie added the line that probably explains why this keeps happening to WSD in the first place — he always picks the exact wrong thing to say if the goal is to make the situation less weird. Renting your car to a stranger is fine. Defending it by emphasizing that the car was a piece of garbage you stopped caring about is the kind of move only WSD makes.

Bottom line: WSD has a point. Turo is a real business, 2018 was a long time ago, and the shitbox got him paid. But as long as Eddie keeps wheezing every time the story comes up, it's going to keep coming up. That's the deal.
