Dudes the poorest sport ever and a total drip

[@drewgamezzz8482]

@@SalsaAndChips that what makes the show tht much better with how poor of a sport he is. But also, a lot of the times the questions for the experts are harder idc what anyone says. I mean just look at the Victor Cruz one compared to Alex Smith, that was nowhere near the same difficulty tbh.

[@Tmillea]

Frank is the gift that keeps on giving.

I'll say it for Brandon. Alex Smith was WAY EASIER than Victor Cruz.

[@zapee3766]

Not even fucking close

[@SovietPenguins]

Victor Cruz had too many false positives...

[@rfogo14]

Might be the biggest disparity in difficulty of any puzzle question so far

[@josht5568]

the geography question made up for it tho, anyone could guess Philippines cause it's like the only island nation while the other question was an island in Canada

[@zachunderwood663]

i blame tommy smokes

[@strika1140]

ELECTRIC....to be fair to PFT and Brandon, we all know that 'Want You Back' sounds more like a Backstreet Boys song than an NSYNC song, right fellas?

[@MCchizzle]

Way harder than Shakira

[@TCDAVIS22]

Wildly harder

[@marcuse9030]

Yeah, I thought it was "Larger than Life" - much harder than Shakira. Should've been another boy band.

[@davidalpeter9963]

That must have been after he played some part because I can't find any pictures of his hair like that hah

[@joshackley2496]

The reason the last question was messed up is because the I Want You Back instrumental sounds very much like Everybody by Backstreet Boys. It's basically a 50/50 and if you get it wrong it's a guaranteed correct answer by the other team.

I mean they weren’t bad, but they just weren’t even near being close to even in difficulty tbh. I fell he shouldn’t have allowed them cause Alex smith was soooooo much easier by far.

[@billybilbo]

Totally the best content barstool puts out. These genuinely put a smile on my face every time

[@craigwenzel3152]

I’ve never complained about the difficulty level between questions for teams but the celebrity name puzzle was way harder for Brandon and PFT

[@JT-vy6jl]

But brandon and pft got the easier NFL question

[@drewgamezzz8482]

It seems Jeff always makes Brandon and PFTs questions harder, but even then like before you even give the question still trying to say “oh I always try to make these pretty even”, No one damn well that a lot of the questions he gives the experts aren’t even anywhere near even compared to what he gives the other teams half the time. I don’t even get me started on the bonus room.

[@sunbrother7206]

Reposting this to try and get some traction: Brandon and PFT get an extra lifeline in which they can choose one player on the opposite team to sit out a question (since they are usually positioned 3 to 2 in these)

[@lloydjr8207]

That's a good idea..I hate the phone a friend thing, hardly anyone uses it and when they do it never works

[@seraphimvulture]

Like this idea, it will help the balance of power between the teams.

shakira and alex smith were wildly easier, ill say it for brandon and PFT

[@KRAFT4Prez]

Victor Cruz was incredibly easy, it was just dumb. Letting Tommy do anything creative is a huge mistake. Thinking outside the box is the opposite of his strong suit. And Shakira was easier but on a scale of 1-10 it was like a 1 vs a 2. lol What about giving a Superbowl question that KB/Nick were children for? Or the college football question literally encompassing 33% more players by making it top 15 vs top 10? Not every question can be perfectly equal. What they do well is make sure there's balance in who gets the harder questions.

[@PaxChristi7]

Someone take that clip of Frank yelling and put it over a video of a pressure washer 😂😂

[@HighriseSuicides]

that shakira question was insanely easy that instrumental literally would not be used by anyone other than shakira lmao

[@TheGratis13]

You can’t make this up.... you lost to Frank making a belt 😂

[@shamusdavidson390]

Jeff change the baker clip to his slide celebrating Higgins touchdown

[@h4a2u0s]

The Alex Smith answer was a lot easier than VIctor Cruz.

[@matteagan1288]

Jeff plays a game inside of the game . It’s called piss Brandon off . I agree questions hott be randomized at the beginning

[@haywoodjamakemeasandwich1442]

N sync song was released in 96 but only in Germany. Not released in the US until 98. Had to look it up.

[@kcook8023]

[@alexvazquez1984]

Big Cat has corrupted my mind. My mind defaulted to Sir Yacht.

[@bigshoota6639]

I love when Jeff fucks up he just creates a rule to fix it

[@Shy-Money]

My one suggestion: Flip a coin to determine who goes first at the start of the game. That way any question that was made up from someone else at Barstool is not bias towards a team. It takes out the subconscious bias when thinking of questions for trivia!

[@vikasvijaykumar6048]

I dont think anyone else at barstool who writes the questions picks who it is for. They write the question and our man JDL chooses the order. i could be wrong though

[@gnarf250]

Great idea, but Jeff would never do that because he likes to fuck Brandon and PFT over with it.

[@tannerwoods6114]

Nick and KB are perfect

[@_ray8054]

Lmao people just can’t accept that Frank knows trivia

[@vtfan8256]

I think they should do a start off question and the first team to answer gets to pick if they go 1st or 2nd. Then you wouldn’t know for sure which team is getting which question if nothing else flip a coin or do a randomizer that way people can’t say the questions were easier for a team. The Alex Smith and the music questions were both a lot easier for Frank’s team. That *NSYNC song sounds like all boy bands from then where the Shakira song is one of a kind. I never listened to her music but that was obviously who it was that’s hard to miss.

[@HossDaddy206]

The dozens is my #1 youtube show right now. One suggestion, Price is Right always goes lowest to highest when sorting products. The question format may have thrown off PFT, and brandon can't read so he was out from the start.

[@ClanBBQ4life]

I have no idea why jeff does it highest to lowest...

[@adamjack409]

That last song was a layup. Everyone who’s not a girl gets backstreet and nsync mixed up all day long.

[@adamjack409]

[@thetek9]

Frank’s dating profile says he enjoys watching the Mets lose, drinking sodas and whittling belts out of old tractor tires

[@justno984]

i know jeff you don't like complainants but frank and the frankettes' questions were way easier this match, at least to me, as i knew most of them compared to branden and pft's which i only knew 2 or 3 of.

[@Timothree]

That *NSYNC song didn’t come out in the US until 1998. It was released in Germany in 1996, not saying they would have gotten it cause I guess BSB as well. Also, I feel like the team that goes 2nd has an advantage because they know they structure of the questioning by the time it’s their turn. Just an observation, I would try putting Brendan and PFT up 2nd every once and a while.

Frank’s Redemption

[@drewgamezzz8482]

We need Someone to host this, So Jeff can be on there and then make the questions for Jeff’s team immensely harder than what they make for the other team just to give a piece of his own medicine. And not even just this exact one, but there have been plenty of times where Brennan in PFTs questions I’ve been so much harder than the other ones. All you have to do is look at that Victor Cruz compared to Alex Smith, I’ll say this again for the third time, that wasn’t even near the same difficulty and Jeff knows it wasn’t. But that is classic Jeff for you.

College Footbal Passing TDs technically had 3 answers. Oklahoma Texas Tech and Hawaii were all technically correct. Should've been given the point (I saw the Commissioner's Statement). Side note: I'm a bit surprised Brandon and PFT consistently save all their bonuses until the very end and end up not using them a lot. If they used them more properly they probably would have a better trivia record

[@drewgamezzz8482]

I still believe The Experts questions r harder, I mean the Victor Cruz and Alex Smith ones r absolutely not even close to each other. And yeah, I feel they should have got the answer for the college football one tbh. But leave it to Jeff to mess it up and not give them the point. But he seems to find a way to screw them almost every game.

[@rhetthaverty18]

[@bricker6241]

Franks team got the Children's questions it looks like. PFT and Walker got hosed.

[@drewgamezzz8482]

@16:50 to be fair, it is a stretch to think someone would get champ and then be like “oh they’re all victors” and tbh that looks way more like a yacht than it does a cruise liner. And though I usually never say this, I feel like the Alex Smith was way easier than Victor Cruz cause I mean you would have to just assume they would take champs and turn that into victor tbh. I mean that one was so unfair to me tbh.

[@koraihoshiumi3137]

Fun Fact, Ellesmere island is actually larger if you count the ice.

[@drewgamezzz8482]

@17:29 that one was immensely easier than the one he give the experts, but that’s really just classic Jeff to give the experts one so ,icy harder than the other team tbh. Like I just don’t understand how Jeff thinks his questions are always so fair, yet you have ones like that one where the experts answer could’ve been 2000 diff things and the frankettes one was super easy. He’s always so biased against the experts though and always has be. Ion understand how he thinks no one notices it either tbh.

[@justinkramer8665]

Victor Cruz?

[@stechnicki12]

The fact that they were guessing shows from the 90s & 2000's for most expensive really hurt my brain lol. How did they not clue into the simple fact that money inflates and more recent shows are gonna cost WAAAAAY more than 90s sitcoms...........

@@Rstang2626 find me one other alternate that the second pic could be? Gore tongue will... three champions doesnt clearly equal victor... especially when the boat you put them on wasnt even a cruise ship. Thats a personal yacht boat... the only way this question is even close if it was at least on an actual cruise ship. Also the placement of the players was all grouped to the left side for no reason.
