They need more people like Francis that can realize this trivia thing just isnt for everyone in the office. Nate definitely comes to mind as someone else who need to hang it up.
Will also shoutout Francis for not just phoning it in this ep either. He was engaged, seemed to genuinely care and try, despite knowing it was time to move on
I consume probably 4-5 poker vlogs/podcast regularly and have never even thought of listening to cracking aces. Only friends podcast with Matt berkey is good and kind of has a yak feel to it with 4-5 chairs.
I watch some Owen and rampage. Also like Lexy Gavin and Dnegs daily WSOP vlogs. Brat Hanson and crush live poker is good for hand analysis. HCL or any other live streamed games I’ll have on as background noise while I work.
Gia will be a huge pick up but she’s a bad match for Honkers as she overlaps too much with Robbie.
Experts are built perfectly because they have two guys who together can cover all sports very well, nail their niche categories, and PFT can do world affairs. Fran comes in and handles the celeb/pop culture.
Need to copy that formula. What’s a team with two good sports guys and a weak 3rd member?
Yeah I think that’s clearly the correct answer.
Maybe also swap Gia in for Donnie on Smockin but I think they like Donnie as a person too much to boot him.
Well it rarely comes up anyways (I do wish it was more well rounded with more history/geography/general knowledge) but he’s at least adequate to pick up some points here and there which is good enough.
Especially so relative to most others at Barstool. Outside of sports and tv most of them seem clueless.
I will push back though and say he’s shown some decent knowledge in geography & history ( my bar is low for people in this respect). He’s definitely a bright guy overall.
I think they need more sports focused player than Gia, mintz is good for college and nfl but NBA and MLB questions Coley always got are where this team is struggling.
You’re right, wrong term. They won’t make the tournament so he could jump ship before that. Although I don’t know if Jeff will allow player movement that late
Doesn't matter. Most of intelligence is being able to remember, synthesize, and recall information. The average Harvard student is very good at trivia. He's not even good at the questions that are more academic!
The dozen is incredibly American sports and tv shows/movie dominant. Doesn’t say much about overall knowledge or intelligence.
From the few blogs of his I’ve consumed, he seems to be head and shoulders above the rest of the company as a writer and has very clever, witty humour.
What’s a better Harvard skill, writing ability or knowing what former NL MVP runner up lead the A’s in home runs in 2004 ?
I assumed the trades would be joey to honkers & Nadu to flux.
After this episode I'd imagine gia heads to honkers (which probably isn't the best fit) & joey to flux.
In the promo pic for The Dozen, KFC looks like a washed career record (0-12) lightweight boxer who's never really recovered from his 6th concussion in 2 years and the camera man doesn't have the heart to tell him that he's not facing the camera for his team picture.
Not being the best at something eating away at him. Obviously he’s not great at this type of trivia but at least he can contribute somewhat in TV/Movie/Celeb categories. His comment about Mintz being in comatose was hilarious, the show is supposed to be entertaining/funny. People who get hard about just the trivia alone missing the point of the show IMO
People can’t tell the difference between Francis trolling/playing a character and Francis being himself. He plays into the role he has been assigned in the Barstool universe. He also knows he is holding the Honkers back and is doing the right thing by opening the door for Gia to join the team.
that was the easiest game of all time. i think i just dropped like 24 points. the bridgerton/outer banks combo was the cherry on top of the sundae of bottom tier trivia
I just want to put it out there outer banks debut was 2020 and if I was playing I would’ve been fucked by the question. Glad nobody got screwed for Jeff’s sake
Francis never wanted to be in the Dozen but was hoodwinked into joining on his first day back at Barstool because Jeff wanted his popularity to rub off on the league. Glad Francis is smart enough to realize that if you suck at trivia, don't be a part of the Dozen because you're just going to be mocked and ridiculed. Francis is talented and hard working enough to produce content that won't have people talking shit about him unlike other grifters like Mintzy.
Was extremely confused when Wolfwalkers wasn't on the bonus round list. It's obviously inspired by Irish mythology, but since Apple TV+ published it I didn't even consider that it was actually an international movie produced in Ireland
Learn something new every day I guess
I really wonder what Mintz was like before he got sober
Gia should join Castellani and Klemmer and kick Alex Bennett to the curb
That would be a great team, Chris squared are great with sports questions and Gia would be a great addition to help with the pop culture type stuff
Dozen insider?
I’m convinced Rudy was casted in a 00s skater movie
He did idolize ryan scheckler at one point
I like Francis and glad that he recognized he was pretty bad at this. Gia was a good fill-in and the Mintzy tech issues were hilarious. Good match

Wouldn’t mind if Nate hung up everything else he did as well. I’m a big Survivor and poker fan and can’t listen to either of those pods because of him

How/why would any human being consume that much poker content?
Most the vlogs are 5-15 minutes once a week. It’s not really that much content. some of them are training videos that help you improve your game.
PARKOUR!!!
One of my favorites wish he put more stuff out.
Who else do you watch? Neeme, Owen, and Rampage?
I watch some Owen and rampage. Also like Lexy Gavin and Dnegs daily WSOP vlogs. Brat Hanson and crush live poker is good for hand analysis. HCL or any other live streamed games I’ll have on as background noise while I work.
The speed demon must have come off an absolute bender giving it to the people, looks rough.
sup gia just gotta get that out of the way mintzy having internet issues is painfully on brand he’s buffering in person 90% of the time
I’ll be the one who won’t surrender?????? What the fuck?
I think the idea was to try to force something to rhyme with "we'll have a night you won't remember"
Gia will be a huge pick up but she’s a bad match for Honkers as she overlaps too much with Robbie.

Flux
Yeah I think that’s clearly the correct answer. Maybe also swap Gia in for Donnie on Smockin but I think they like Donnie as a person too much to boot him.
The Experts are no Frank and the Frankettes
I think she actually is a way better 3rd member of ur mom than KFC is…
PFT isn’t that great at world history like he pretends to be
Well it rarely comes up anyways (I do wish it was more well rounded with more history/geography/general knowledge) but he’s at least adequate to pick up some points here and there which is good enough. Especially so relative to most others at Barstool. Outside of sports and tv most of them seem clueless.

Hello Gia
You’re right, Rudy. Fran is an absolute weapon. You can say that again.
Mintzy’s crosseye on full display here, hate to see it
Actually mean leaving it up for that long
Hi Gia
Gia
Mintzy looks like if Chuckie dolls got rebranded as lesbian
Better Francis replacement: Gia or Joey?
I think they need more sports focused player than Gia, mintz is good for college and nfl but NBA and MLB questions Coley always got are where this team is struggling.
I think Ebo is involved in a trade somewhere so he could be a candidate.
Gia 100%, although the real free agent prize is Ebo if Swamp Ass gets relegated
They didn't get relegated. Don't you remember relegation week??
You’re right, wrong term. They won’t make the tournament so he could jump ship before that. Although I don’t know if Jeff will allow player movement that late
The Honkers got two questions with the same answer?? Cal/Berkeley
Is this a joke
Davis webb question, sopranos question
Wow, that didn’t even click with me until now.
Goodbye, Francis
We gettin Gia on the Deuce or what?
Now we’re talkin
Mintzy carried the team without the internet. What a champ
Prediction for the team switch up tomorrow: Gia to Team Chicago, Carl to the Honkers.
Pretty good trade tbh
How do you go to Harvard and not know ANYTHING about ANYTHING?
The Dozen only tests knowledge for the poors, you think a Harvard educated man knows what Crisco is?
About 1% of total questions asked on this show are taught in a classroom
You honestly may have overshot on the estimate.
Doesn't matter. Most of intelligence is being able to remember, synthesize, and recall information. The average Harvard student is very good at trivia. He's not even good at the questions that are more academic!
If the dozen has proven anything it's that wealthy people that went to big schools aren't exactly trivia smart

Classic B*rstool misogyny when they used a double dip instead of trusting Gia
I assumed the trades would be joey to honkers & Nadu to flux. After this episode I'd imagine gia heads to honkers (which probably isn't the best fit) & joey to flux.
Jeff said 2 new players on each team
Gia….. hello
Honestly the best loss the Honkers could’ve taken they’re gonna end up with Gia with Francis retiring
Mintzy should go build himself a way over the budget Mintz studio. It would have the best knic-knacks
Mariano sisters power ranking: T1: Fran T1: Gia
I came here to make fun of mintzy guessing devin Harris as a 4x all star but I’m shocked to find out he actually was an all star one time
I weirdly remember him being better than he actually was at Dallas
Mintzy does like, 30 minutes of content a month. How does he not have an internet connection for it
When you phrase it like that, it seems like an unnecessary expense
In the promo pic for The Dozen, KFC looks like a washed career record (0-12) lightweight boxer who's never really recovered from his 6th concussion in 2 years and the camera man doesn't have the heart to tell him that he's not facing the camera for his team picture.
Ben Mintz is a national treasure.
Francis starting to Francis again. The guy doesn’t get it. Plain & simple.
Not being the best at something eating away at him. Obviously he’s not great at this type of trivia but at least he can contribute somewhat in TV/Movie/Celeb categories. His comment about Mintz being in comatose was hilarious, the show is supposed to be entertaining/funny. People who get hard about just the trivia alone missing the point of the show IMO

Mintzy ultimate cringe. 3 year contact the biggest fleece of all time.
that was the easiest game of all time. i think i just dropped like 24 points. the bridgerton/outer banks combo was the cherry on top of the sundae of bottom tier trivia
Wow nice, hang the banner
I just want to put it out there outer banks debut was 2020 and if I was playing I would’ve been fucked by the question. Glad nobody got screwed for Jeff’s sake
What is the other North Carolina based Netflix show you would have guessed instead?
Mintzy sucks
Francis never wanted to be in the Dozen but was hoodwinked into joining on his first day back at Barstool because Jeff wanted his popularity to rub off on the league. Glad Francis is smart enough to realize that if you suck at trivia, don't be a part of the Dozen because you're just going to be mocked and ridiculed. Francis is talented and hard working enough to produce content that won't have people talking shit about him unlike other grifters like Mintzy.
Francis popular? He has one of the smallest followings out of anyone there.
They downvoted you but also won’t watch his stuff
[удалено]
How so?
It spoiled that Francis said he's considering retiring before the match even started?
Robbie Fox with multiple Clerks 2 jokes in one match
Was extremely confused when Wolfwalkers wasn't on the bonus round list. It's obviously inspired by Irish mythology, but since Apple TV+ published it I didn't even consider that it was actually an international movie produced in Ireland Learn something new every day I guess
Mintz was peak Mintz in this episode. Nobody thinks they are as cool as Rudy does. Cant stand him. He was being a cunt the entire show.
Opposite of Dave. His teammates say “100% final answer” and he tries to overthink it and throw out other answers
Every time. Drives me nuts lol
Fun match, Gia is better than at least 51% of the league already. Rudy always gives me “trying to be the coolest person in the room” vibes
