Dave Portnoy RAILS Into Mintzy for Choosing Poker Over Barstool | The Yak 2-26-24

[@djryba4687]

I'm with Will on the Beer Olympics. Working around the schedules of the awesome people they're gonna have on is so worth moving The Dozen.

[@ryanhendler3329]

He made a decision to book on top of them. Because he thinks they are bigger so it’s ok.

[@Fog_raw]

Funny looking back at this cause most of the "big" guests canceled 😂😂

[@jcole9055]

Will’s in the right. Getting and making sure you can schedule outside NFL players and comedians is far more valuable a show and to barstool than an in-company tournament.

[@haleyjames1465]

The Kelce brothers are basically A-list celebs at this point. Having them compete guarantees a Million views. Dave needs to think about which production will make the company more money.

[@WerdThorton]

I mean the dozen is very successful, sells tickets, merch, and gets a ton of views and will have multiple episodes getting sold by sponsors. Wouldn’t be shocked if the dozen realistically made more despite Beer Olympics being far more popular and main stream

[@Bag-o-donuts]

100% correct

[@jcole9055]

@@WerdThorton Right, but the question here is on the supply of talent. The Dozen’s talent is going to be there because they have to (unless they’re playing poker, apparently). Beer Olympics talent is only available for a short window, so you’re on their schedule then.

[@joshberlin3604]

KFC not trying in the combine is just as bad as Mintzy doing his thing

[@PD-we8vf]

Now we know how his wife felt.

[@jordicba]

In his head it’s hilarious

[@RichardDick-gm1xb]

Showing up to intentionally do a bad job is worse then not being able to make it because you're currently in position to win a $121k poker tournament, while also working for a sports and gambling media company. KFC makes everything he touches worse. Not like a loveable fuck up just a prick.

[@caseyneal1992]

Couldn’t cheat in bench press like he did during the dozen so he opted out of it. What a loser, no wonder New York is failing

[@youngsucio]

He’s not in the fun and games office.

[@tobeymaguiressburner2157]

They're consistently the only ones call out BS that doesn't make sense

[@devinlowe3495]

100% on Will’s side here. I think NFL training schedules and huge comedy tours take precedence over people who’s whole job it is to do content for Barstool.

[@vinnieheaters]

Dave wants Will to make NFL players and famous comedians reschedule for a triva tournament that could be done at any fucking time

[@pan479]

Starts at 2:20

[@brandontkn887]

God bless the start at people. Thank you for your service

[@DSchen97]

Mintzy is 100% in the right, he didn’t even do the combine and still is more a part of content than the entire group of rejects from NYC. KFC not trying wasn’t funny in 2015. Dave you suck, Big Cat have some balls.

[@jrickB24]

Your forgetting it’s his damn JOB. If the dumbass wants to be a poker player let him go n play and fire his ass

[@burdawg3000]

[@GaryFoodie]

Mintz poker content > him being at combine

[@veronicavaughn5923]

One of my favorite parts about Barstool is that Dave doesn't give his employees any direction, nor does he pay attention to what they're doing, then he flies off the rails when people aren't doing anything. The culture has been created. The only thing better would have been if Smitty was in Mintzy's spot. Dave would make his life hell.

[@veronicavaughn5923]

@@Dong-ChanLee you would think…NY has to come to Chicago now to do anything meaningful. But Dave’s in control of NY, so I’m sure the content is forthcoming.

When he says their in a warehouse with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment it does make you take his side even when he's there out of nowhere trashing people😭 like you said, the culture had been created, do you😂

[@dz1211]

Because he’s the dream boss and his employees constantly take advantage of it and fuck up. You literally just have to work to create some type of content for the company and he gives u complete freedom and instead they choose to just not work at all

[@StandOutInACrowd1]

Gee do we want the Beer Olympics with the biggest Comedians and Football players or another Dozen? Pretty easy to see which one is easier to move

[@ddrmaxx9330]

The fact they can’t see Wills perspective concerns me… Would rather see Barstool personalities getting drunk with NFL players then seeing barstool people fighting over trivia

[@ryanhendler3329]

They see the perspective. They were trying to get him to admit. I chose that day because “we are a bigger brand” so they will move the dozen . It’s a dick move

[@GaryFoodie]

Hank basically told mintz it was okay. And mintz does more for the company than half the NYC office

[@Bigmamasdad]

Mintz does nothing

[@jumpysauce5747]

Mintzy is literally 10% of the yaks content day to day and the rest of the company's punching bag.

[@jozefdarragjati9367]

Dave and barstool are delusional if they think the dozen in more important than the Beer Olympics. I get it’s the company first but if they’re able to get all these major stars to come that weekend or risk not having them there at all… it’s a fucking no brainer. Would be a huge W for the boys and Barstool.

[@ChefGrx30]

Dave and Dan are fully just upset that Mintzys content rn is positive for him rn the combine would’ve made him look horrendous

[@mprice27]

Big cat being too scared to defend mintz is sadly on brand for him. Corporate cat is the worst, no one cares about him missing the combine except for dave

Prime example of Dan just agreeing with everything Dave says. Mintzy winning a poker tournament is far more interesting than making a disabled guy run a 40 yard dash
