Ever since I started at Barstool I’ve wanted to write a blog about Cum Town.
So I’m not even sure they’ll let me post this.
But most importantly, to blog about Cum Town would be the straightest thing in the world.
And I am profoundly gay.
But Barstool has changed me.
Something about working with the true alpha males of the internet every day has done something to my psyche.
I’m now comfortable enough with my masculine side to post a blog solely dedicated to Cum Town.
I’ll make a run at not be too hetero about it.
Cum Town was a podcast with professional comedians Nick Mullen, Stavros Halkias, and Adam Friedland.
It ran from 2016-2022.
For me, nothing comes close.
All the podcast really was, was 3 friends trying to make each other laugh.
But the dynamic between them was perfect.
All because of a transition to an ad read.
They’re not wrong.
Sometimes I legitimately think Cum Town ruined my life.
Just kidding, that’s extreme.
But it may have ruined my sense of humor.
The show has irony poisoned by brain to a point of no return.
I’m pretty sure Cum Town did that to me.
Cum Town had a glorious run.
But Stavros left the show in 2022.
You could see it coming from a mile away.
He was distancing himself from Cum Town when he made appearances on other podcasts.
They would stretch out three ad reads to fill up half the show.
I still don’t know why any of these companies were paying them to actively disparage their company.
But the writing was on the wall.
They were clearly mailing it in.
You could tell because they would actively talk about how much they were mailing it in.
Then of course there were rumors about why the break up happened.
People said that Stav and Nick had grown to hate each other.
I obviously don’t know the inner workings of any beef between them.
I don’t know if there was any real beef at all.
Lots of people felt like Stav was ungrateful for what Cum Town gave him.
The money, success, a platform to launch his professional stand-up career, etc.
That he reaped the benefits of Nick Mullen and Cum Town, but wasn’t appreciative of it.
I think all that drama was probably blown way out of proportion.
People are allowed to do their own thing.
And I think Stav is hilarious, and clearly deserves a solo career in his own right.
But that was the sentiment amongst a lot of diehard fans.
Nick and Adam continued the podcast, although they switched up the format entirely.
They called it, “The Adam Friedland Show”.
Which was maybe Nick’s funniest bit to date.
The show sort of scratched the itch Cum Town left, but not really.
A few weeks ago Nick left the Adam Friedland show entirely.
Stav is still doing his Stavvy’s World podcast.
But that same sentiment surrounding the breakup up Cum Town was floating around the whole time.
Only 3 years after it ended.
Hearing them back together nearly brought a tear to my eye.
Adam humble bragged about how he was so embarrassed to have had sex with a girl.
Nick and Stav roasted him for it.
It was just like old times.
Never to be heard from together again.
For better or worse.
You love to see it.
It reminds you what life could be like if things went differently.
For a brief moment you’re happy again.
But then you’re hit with the harsh reality that they’ll never be back together for real.
Still though… it’s nice to see them getting along.
Idk my parents still love each other.
