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.

[@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]

@@WerdThortonwill not being there doesn't change any of that. It is better for him to be at the beer event

[@veebee-sc4tp]

kb and bfw only ones in there with stones. yes we get it its fun to pile on mintzy, but hank basically gave him the green light to miss that event.

[@tobeymaguiressburner2157]

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

[@vinnieheaters]

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

[@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.

[@evanrulespoop]

Brandon was right. It’s more interesting for mintz to be playing poker than this combine bs

[@michaelwheeler6264]

It's not about the content. It's a sponsored event he is apart of and reason he stays getting paid.

[@cpm4778]

He never said that lol He shit on Mintzy the whole episode

[@djp1363]

@@michaelwheeler6264maybe the boss of the company should be at such a big event that ended up being a failure. It’s bad when the biggest story of it revolves around someone not there

[@ML-kx9gz]

yup I'm not a big Brandon fan but he was dropping truth bombs all over this ben mintz stuff.

[@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

[@jmc8626]

Right? Why doesnt Dave jump all over KFC the guy who RUNS the NYC office..its ridiculous

[@joeprimus9333]

Or just do your job? How hard is it to just do what your boss says who rehired you and had your back after you messed up 2-3 big times . Don’t understand how hard that is to understand

[@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

[@ChefGrx30]

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

[@PD-we8vf]

It’s all a bit.

[@walkerdefaul8487]

Far more interesting for who? Lmao no one cares what mintzy does in his free time

[@danalad2114]

Prime example? You following this story? Dave wanted him to refund barstool with any money made. Dan suggested it go to the combine winner. Is that going with everything Dave says?

[@Peeg7]

I promise mintzy doing the combine is much more interesting then mintzy winning some money lol

[@user-bm6iz2mm3f]

Mintz poker content > him being at combine

[@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

[@chunky3iron]

Yet he defends Bosco

[@SAsh-zg6ln]

He’s obviously doing it for content u doofus

[@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

[@pan479]

[@brandontkn887]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@4kMattyJ]

[@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.

[@TheEasyLifee]

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

[@user-bm6iz2mm3f]

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.
