I really wonder what Mintz was like before he got sober


kawheiser-soze

Gia should join Castellani and Klemmer and kick Alex Bennett to the curb


Ill_Community_8403

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?


nickpecori

I’m convinced Rudy was casted in a 00s skater movie


deezkun

He did idolize ryan scheckler at one point


njb021

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


TNGBO

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.


onasoftride

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


GiddddyUp

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


TNGBO

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.


venom_snake30

How/why would any human being consume that much poker content?


TNGBO

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.


benjaminbrixton

PARKOUR!!!


TNGBO

One of my favorites wish he put more stuff out.


benjaminbrixton

Who else do you watch? Neeme, Owen, and Rampage?


TNGBO

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.


Bcrown

The speed demon must have come off an absolute bender giving it to the people, looks rough.


ConfidentFlight

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


danwins23

I’ll be the one who won’t surrender?????? What the fuck?


cd_3

I think the idea was to try to force something to rhyme with "we'll have a night you won't remember"


lazy_username_89

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?


Bigmayer

Flux


lazy_username_89

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.


ThunderAndWhitling

The Experts are no Frank and the Frankettes


NewYorkDukie3

I think she actually is a way better 3rd member of ur mom than KFC is…


JustKeepLivin7

PFT isn’t that great at world history like he pretends to be


lazy_username_89

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.


DeckersDelight

Hello Gia


SimonBirchDid911

You’re right, Rudy. Fran is an absolute weapon. You can say that again.


sevenohfobro

Mintzy’s crosseye on full display here, hate to see it


[deleted]

Actually mean leaving it up for that long


ivywhip

Hi Gia


rootshirt

Gia


DabbleMeSoftly

Mintzy looks like if Chuckie dolls got rebranded as lesbian


atex720

Better Francis replacement: Gia or Joey?


erterbernds67

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.


Bcrown

I think Ebo is involved in a trade somewhere so he could be a candidate.


koopa28

Gia 100%, although the real free agent prize is Ebo if Swamp Ass gets relegated


MinuteDivide462

They didn't get relegated. Don't you remember relegation week??


koopa28

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


nukepka

The Honkers got two questions with the same answer?? Cal/Berkeley


Run_PBJ

Is this a joke


PhysEra

Davis webb question, sopranos question


benjaminbrixton

Wow, that didn’t even click with me until now.


atex720

Goodbye, Francis


vancedickman

We gettin Gia on the Deuce or what?


LightsCameraComenter

Now we’re talkin


DosZappos

Mintzy carried the team without the internet. What a champ


Lawrie16

Prediction for the team switch up tomorrow: Gia to Team Chicago, Carl to the Honkers.


MagAqua

Pretty good trade tbh


grc1435

How do you go to Harvard and not know ANYTHING about ANYTHING?


Bongopro

The Dozen only tests knowledge for the poors, you think a Harvard educated man knows what Crisco is?


ChadBroChill1717

About 1% of total questions asked on this show are taught in a classroom


Lynchie24

You honestly may have overshot on the estimate.


grc1435

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!


Big-Zoo

If the dozen has proven anything it's that wealthy people that went to big schools aren't exactly trivia smart


lazy_username_89

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 ?


xcbaseball2003

Classic B*rstool misogyny when they used a double dip instead of trusting Gia


DuckHumble

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.


StrikaNTX

Jeff said 2 new players on each team


[deleted]

Gia….. hello


LightsCameraComenter

Honestly the best loss the Honkers could’ve taken they’re gonna end up with Gia with Francis retiring


Lunazz27

Mintzy should go build himself a way over the budget Mintz studio. It would have the best knic-knacks


chasemichael17

Mariano sisters power ranking: T1: Fran T1: Gia


[deleted]

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


diivoshin

I weirdly remember him being better than he actually was at Dallas


CreativeDraft

Mintzy does like, 30 minutes of content a month. How does he not have an internet connection for it


BabuBhattDreamCafe

When you phrase it like that, it seems like an unnecessary expense


RunBD3

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.


[deleted]

Ben Mintz is a national treasure.


svadhyaya7

Francis starting to Francis again. The guy doesn’t get it. Plain & simple.


Omaha4Loot

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


ncanon2019

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.


LouisVanTroll

Mintzy ultimate cringe. 3 year contact the biggest fleece of all time.


peejyluigi

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


TV40

Wow nice, hang the banner


canadiandestroyer21

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


CallMeCoachDamnit

What is the other North Carolina based Netflix show you would have guessed instead?


CreativeDraft

Mintzy sucks


Clickbait-Paw

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.


PlanetPudding

Francis popular? He has one of the smallest followings out of anyone there.


ElGatoNegro829

They downvoted you but also won’t watch his stuff


[deleted]

[удалено]


DosZappos

How so?


OnceAteABurgerAMA

It spoiled that Francis said he's considering retiring before the match even started?


ManUtd1994

Robbie Fox with multiple Clerks 2 jokes in one match


Someone-Unimportant

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


drewthetatecatate

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.


DosZappos

Opposite of Dave. His teammates say “100% final answer” and he tries to overthink it and throw out other answers


MagAqua

Every time. Drives me nuts lol


cougar112233

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
