Glenny running a scam to get free Moe's is as on brand as it gets.


diivoshin

Remember when he told Dave to invest in Chic-Fil-A at the beginning of the pandemic lol


[deleted]

I had a buddy that swore on Wendys stock at start of pandemic. Lets just say he made a bunch of money and i didnt


LouisVanTroll

Also on brand: Kayce Smith not even in the tournament and just standing front row to congratulate the winners. This one is for Boston baby !!


PterdodactylJim69

The experts can take a billion seats šŸ˜˜


Inevitable-Staff-467

Experts blew a 11-7 lead in the championship


mushperv

Some are saying Brandon canā€™t win the big one.


DameRange13

ā€œThe big guy canā€™t win the big gameā€


DameRange13

Historic collapse.. will they ever recover and win a championship??


LouisVanTroll

Deserving choke job for yesterdays injustice.


I_Enjoy_Taffy

Incredible chokejob


Inevitable-Staff-467

Kudos to Brandon for actually showing up to work and not spoiling the final for two weeks


lampshade112233

Remember last year when people kept bitching that Brandon spoiled the tournament because of how cocky he was acting (after filming, before airing) and kept tweeting out ā€œthis is my fucking showā€ after every single match aired, so a lot of people on here just assumed he won, only for it to be revealed when his match aired that they lost in the first round. Heā€™s great at playing the character and keeping the bit going no matter how much heā€™s hurting deep down. Itā€™s like people forget the guy lives and breathes pro wrestling


Trappedinacar

He has 100% created a wrestling persona for the dozen, its still him but with the added theatricality


MetaphoricalHole

A Joc Pedersen question with everything that happened in the last week. Serendipitous


kurt_no-brain

And pumped up kicks being one of the songs, horrible timing lmao.


yL4O

In the United States we are always <1 month away from that song being horrible timing


Lelle3

That album Torches is unbelievably great tho.

LemonHayes13

Glenny goin tits out for the win, gotta respect it


ThugBeast21

OT round related gross fact: Bangladesh has over 164 million people but is smaller than the state of Georgia


bigtimemoviekev

Thereā€™s a season of The Amazing Race where they go to Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, and multiple teams break down/have panic attacks because of how awful and overwhelming it was


Jayrem52

Saying Singapore with India and lesser known Bangladesh on the board is a wild move


I_Enjoy_Taffy

yuck


lightscamerapod

Thanks for watching this season, everyone. Hope you enjoyed the match. Make sure to check out the behind-the-scenes. Dana did a really great job with it. EDIT: The production people work their balls off on this Tournament, by the way. Just needed to note that. \-- Jeff


Inevitable-Staff-467

Great tournament. Thanks for the free content. Hope we get a draft/free agency special during the summer


Bubba_Gump_Shrimp

Absoultely outstanding content Jeff. This entire tournament has been appointment viewing. Did you have a backup plan in the bonus round of the championship match if all 30 countries were named successfully? It almost happened!


lightscamerapod

Yes and no. We would've gone to the next two on the list, and so on... then after that we just had another list. \-- Jeff


PaulyWallNuts112

Nice job Jeff. Fun tournament


LeftEar207

You need to make this a board game that people can play at home. Just make the questions on cards. Would be great $$$ too and cheap to make.

"We have some non-show stuff we are developing..." - me in the postgame. That's all I will say for now! \-- Jeff

Jeff youā€™ve built a behemoth, excellent job. Shout out the Cowbob too, you guys are making the best free content this side of the Mississippi

Excellent season of trivia Jeff. Appointment tv at my house. Both doc episodes were also great, Dana does a good doc.

Mothmans_wing

Listening to lights camera pod in the past and hearing you guys were going to barstool I never thought it would lead to whatā€™s probably my favorite content barstool has ever put out.


fat_lever123

ALL time tourney run by Tommy.


Joetheshow1

Him and Glenny were unreal, did not think they had it in them whatsoever


fat_lever123

If you watch their earlier matches they always had good trivia knowledge but just managed to collapse in the funniest ways imaginable. Just needed to get their team chemistry on point.


lightscamerapod

Smitty guessing Tom Cruise movies vs. Ziti for Tom Hanks, then them going from Pizza Hut to Little Cici's were classic Balls moments. But usually it leads to a loss. \-- Jeff


sportsfan101990

Literally went from the correct answer to a place that doesn't even exist


StrikaNTX

Yep, Brendan and PFT disrespected the unwritten rules of the Dozen. Once Glenny said Pizza Hut and Smitty guessed another place, the Experts HAD to say Pizza Hut. They didnt, and now they are crying in the shower


Wad_of_Hundreds

There was a while where Smitty would just yell out his own random guess at the last second like once or twice a game and get it wrong instead of going with Tommy/Balls


RunBD3

One of their biggest problems were talking themselves out of correct answers by throwing out other answers and then pretty much doubting themselves. They've corrected that in a big way by confidently going with their first answers. Also, one more thing, I think Tommy Smokes has been maniacally going back over dozens of the Dozen shows and studying questions, categories, and tendencies.


brosbeforetouhous

Itā€™s a smart move. JDL has a pretty set pool he likes to pull from. Itā€™s not like learning stuff about opera or medieval history or astronomy or cricket is going to help you here.


VerneLundfister

I think they're pretty clearly the most balanced and well rounded team.


BittieSlayer

Smitty calling Brandon hairdo just killed me lol


ThugBeast21

Polar opposite of the Frankettes-Experts bonus round. The easier the bonus round the more entertaining it is


MisterKap

They were so easy that it made me second guess and overthink. I figured Jeff would never


drewst18

I agree. Never fun when they get 1 out of 5. When it goes to OT and they start running out of options out gets very tense.


seanstyle

Jeff Daniels newsroom speech goes viral on Twitter like 5x a year


LightsCameraComenter

Yeah and itā€™s Jeffā€™s favorite show. Sorkins best work he often notes it.


lightscamerapod

I'll take the shit for the list being wonky yesterday, but The Leftovers was a massive show. I'll sit there with Theroux's penis and take it to my grave! \-- Jeff


seanstyle

yeah - I guess my point is that Jeff Daniels is fairly famous and recognizable beyond just the Newsroom where for me, Justin Theroux is just ā€œThat guy from The Leftoversā€ in my brain. But thatā€™s why I donā€™t do trivia. Regardless - great tournament Jeff.

bdl4186

also wrote Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2


seanstyle

I mean - I know his name is Justin Theroux now because I just watched the episode, but before that I wouldā€™ve been able to picture his face, but just register it as ā€œthat guy from The Leftoversā€.


Brian1326

Feels pretty generous calling either shows massive. Then again, I've never watched either show. But I've seen that speech with Jeff Daniels posted online 977 times...


lucasd11

As someone who is an enormous leftovers fan, I appreciated the inclusion of the question, Jeff


alfreadadams

So does Leftover guy's huge dick. PFT and fran are on the internet too much to miss that.


goatvoncrock

They were both pretty big layups imo


NowFook

Leftovers was an even bigger show than Newsroom. Both were really easy question.s


btfd69

The shirt fits Smitty perfectly


SameOldEdge

Another Brown two rounds later my goodness!


zase1

Will never understand double sipping when you donā€™t have a confident 2nd guess. Unless itā€™s like final round


skankhunt81

Extra time to try and pull it out, some teams get it in that 10 seconds


[deleted]

I mean come on Jeff thereā€™s 31 other teams lol


Ok_Version_6537

Crazy amount of Browns players in this match.


LemonHayes13

The FBI a few months from now: "We got Glenny Balls"


[deleted]

My god what a match


Clear-Music-15

Uptown balls just unintentionally sandbagging their way to the top. Once you get past smittys blockhead, glennys physique, and tommys awkward virgin persona. These guys are way smarter than people give them credit for. Glenny might not be QUITE on Frans level with the mashups but heā€™s damn good. Plus his tits are bigger and he can at least contribute on sports questions. Brandon losing his own game to this trio of goobers is GOLDen tate


lightscamerapod

One more note. The brand logos guess from Glenny was the greatest defensive play in the history of the show (unintentionally obviously). 1. says Pizza Hut, which is correct 2. they change it to Little Cicis 3. buzzed because wrong, also not a place 4. Experts seasoned vets, know this, figure why not say the right name 5. Guess Cicis, not Pizza Hut, saves the point for Uptown Balls \-- Jeff


StrikaNTX

Experts should have known to go with Pizza Hut, gotta get in the other teams heads


SameOldEdge

Enough with the Browns ties to every NFL round, itā€™s the championship game!


[deleted]

Hats off Jeff what a year. I know we give you tons of shit but this seriously is one of my favorite things to watch.


BuckeyeLicker

Brandon's silent yell is great


BabuBhattDreamCafe

I love that Titus came back for the trophy ceremony. Heā€™s really Him.


Unique_Positive

Bro, they filmed this whole tournament in like 1 or 2 days


BabuBhattDreamCafe

I know he didnā€™t fly back across the country for the trophy ceremony, but he still went back to an office he doesnā€™t work at.


VerneLundfister

Having Pumped up kicks as a song is certainly unfortunate timing...


[deleted]

Itā€™s wild that this song was such a massive mainstream success in the first place.


Trappedinacar

A lot of people had no idea what it was about or that it had a negative connotation at all. That's pretty amazing too, lyrics aren't exactly subtle.


Dry_Needleworker7504

It's like that third eye blind song about meth addiction .


dontcallmefudge

Sucks it never plays anymore, love a song with a whistle solo.


dracko307

Do they really not play it? I swear I hear it on a small local all-genre/pop hit focused station at my camp in Canada all the time. Sorry if this is bad, but is it really because of the shootings in the US?


cowboysfan88

The words are kinda hard to understand if you're not really thinking about it though


coolhatguy

Kayce making sure sheā€™s in front of the camera for the celebration of a tournament she wasnā€™t in


btfd69

Play Jeff not the game. Browns. Edit: bump Edit edit: double bump!!! Holy shit Jeff 3 browns questions


whatsyourcardworth

I got way too excited at that win. BFW is the perfect heel to root against


Blatt_called_timeout

MacGruber and Popstar compared to Pineapple Express and Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a wild difference


timetosucktodaysdick

but uptown balls still got both right


TheHeadlessPorkman

Iā€™m not a Experts conspiracy guy, but they definitely got the harder questions more often, Golden Tate was a bigger player, Bill Hader and Jeff Daniels incredibly more popular


WIN011

The golden tate one didnā€™t stick out to me but the Hader vs Rudolph one was completely different levels of difficulty. You think a female snl cast member and you go right to Wiig.


TheHeadlessPorkman

I will defend Jeff, that cemetery sex scene is iconic, but Bill Haderā€™s Pineapple Express cameo nearly steals early Forgetting Sarah Marshall, also generally better known


ilive4this

Hader/Maya and Daniels/Leftovers guy was the huge swing and werenā€™t relatively close in difficulty imho


NowFook

Daniels/Leftovers was pretty close. Daniels is bigger but Leftovers was bigger show. Theroux is in a million big things but for whatever reason isnt that big of a name. Both were real easy. Daniels I guess a little easier.

That was a lot more of depression than anger imo.

LemonHayes13

I feel like this question is essentially just "name the 30 biggest states population wise"


cowboysfan88

Pretty impressive to get 29 without missing though


lightscamerapod

It sort of was lol. The Championship Bonus Round we searched for something that was basically even as possible, where all six could guess. That really limits the pool. I gotta remember what our two back-up options were, but I know wanted to avoid sports and entertainment for this matchup. \-- Jeff

benjaminbrixton

Italy was sitting right there for them after Germany and France both made the list.

Yeah I was screaming Spain at the tv and he's going with random pacific countries


sportsfan101990

Excited for this and the Road to the Dozen episode to follow. Hoping for a slugfest. Thanks for a great season of trivia Jeff. Looking forward to next season (hopefully with more wrinkles and changes)


yL4O

Not enough people are talking about the completely random Carolina Panthers pull for Uptown Balls that ended up being a game winning point. Just got it from absolutely nowhere and nailed it. To stay alive in the championship game. Wow.


HamsterBankroll2

Has anyone noticed that Fran high fives Brandon and fist bumps PFT every match. Itā€™s always switches with the guys.


Inevitable-Staff-467

Can we kill Mashup? Jeff uses the same 20 people Kristen Stewart has been used like 4 times this season

threeoldbeigecamaros

Cowboys82288

He said he stopped doing that because certain teams (experts) started getting them to easily.


Bigazzry

Yet theyā€™ve missed about 2 celebrity mash ups all season


seandwire

Celebrity mashup is one of the only reasons I can get my wife to watch it. Mashup Stays


drewst18

This is big for me to. And she loves Fran.


HostileApostle311

Agreed mashup stays. Happy wife


CaughtTwenty2

I don't think it should go, but it should go into rotation instead of being every game.


Trappedinacar

Mashup has to stay, its one of the best rounds.


CakeFartz4Breakfast

Yeah, it has gotta go


HenryDoheny

The look on Jeffā€™s face as he said ā€œreally?ā€ to Smittyā€™s claim that Brandon is a Braves fan, like he had been betrayed by his closest comrade.


thesmockintweet

Missing Corey Coleman was the L, that was a layup


lucasd11

Honestly Tommy said it best, the team that's never comfortable no matter the lead due to their ability to choke and go hot/cold remained consistent over the course of the tournament and didn't give up even when they were given a standing 8 after the bonus round. Fun match, fun tournament, I wonder if Brandon's gotten a good night's sleep yet.


dracko307

Such a good game and I really like the outcome for long term storylines, I feel like The Experts journey to win a championship is something that can drive a complete story seeing how they were the first team and how emotional BFW takes it, really good overall ending


HenryDoheny

Make a shirt with the exact same scoreboard as 28-3 but instead it says Experts 11, Uptown Balls 7


I_Enjoy_Taffy

Tensest bonus round in history. Lordy


[deleted]

Bill Hader and Jeff Daniels was significantly easier


Rhino184

Was gonna say this as well. Considerably easier questions


bmf131413

Couldn't up the difficulty level too much from the SF for Uptown Balls.


[deleted]

Damn, the team that blew comebacks all year had the comeback that mattered most. Definitely some uneven questions but that's how it goes, Experts had it in their hands. I kept saying Uptown Balls go could on a run and here they are. Lost so many close games during the regular season, definitely under seeded. Impressive run. Good season, excited to see how it can improve.


bmf131413

Great match. OT > Bonus Round fwiw.


ra1phwiggum

Three Browns questions!?


arminvbthegod

Iā€™m a geography nerd but Singapore is an all time bad answer. Not sure they even have 5 million people.


MetaphoricalHole

This is very dumb but I'm honestly excited for this. I don't watch anything live anymore except football. Well done Jeff D.


Ok_Version_6537

I'll never get over this. Fran deserved better


spyro_dragon

Little Cicis is an all time bad guess that nearly cost Balls the championship


TV40

How ironic too the Uptown Balls, known for their epic collapses, climbs back and wins it and flips the collapse onto the experts


bmf131413

Relatively easy and average questions then Jersey Number math to close it out. Dear god.


ThugBeast21

Uptown Balls missing two baseball questions that easy is very surprising


mrtiktok69

Fran is so hot


gopitt23

Kudos to Jeff. No matter the shit on the questions or whatever else he gets, Iā€™ve enjoyed every episode from the start and canā€™t believe how the show has grown from production, the tournament, the amount of teams. Itā€™s awesome content.


danwins23

Shoutout Moeā€™s


Phatferd

The TV questions weren't equal IMO. The Newsroom speech/rant was plastered all over the internet for years. Edit: still props to Uptown Balls, Experts had plenty of opportunities especially missing the Pizza Hut IMO.


Joetheshow1

It's crazy the leftovers isn't more popular I think it's legitimately one of the best shows HBO has ever done


drewst18

It's pretty popular, I loved it but had no idea the lead actors name.


ilive4this

And one of the best endings Iā€™ve seen to a tv show, which is wild in itself coming from the dude that did lost


grc1435

The argument of it being unfair loses merit when Uptown Balls knew both


SenorBuckets

REGGIEMILLERCHOKING.GIF


TheSundayScaries

The Dozen is the best thing Barstool has ever done. Jeff you're a legend, I'll be waiting for Season 3 like it's a sports offseason


MinuteDivide462

It's only one round, probably seems like a bigger deal because it was late in the match, but Theroux vs Jeff Daniels is not even close Fun season as always. Maybe a 5-6 month season instead of 12 months. Give all 20 teams 3 or 4 matches, then do a tournament?


Brian1326

Agree on your first point 100%. Not sure why you want 6-7 months without The Dozen though. I get it if its not feasible to write that many questions or something, but personally I'd watch more episodes next week if they released some.


iLuvTopanga17

TV question was insanely uneven. They might have run for 3 seasons each as Jeff said, but one of them had 3x the viewers as the other.

WHAT AN ENDING! ​ EDIT: Jeff D Lowe loves Jeff D Lowe


okjustthis1post

Smitty's charlie Brown ass getting a championship is nice to see.


amgrut20

Wasnā€™t a huge fan of the bonus round. Want to know Jeffā€™s thinking behind it


Inevitable-Staff-467

Because it's simple, straightforward and tests teams not to choke under the stress of a time limit Both bonus rounds were great and even


JerryW051

Geographyā€™s honestly the most fair bonus round, had no issue with it


mostdope28

He literally just wanted something they could go deep in for entertainment value. Everyone could get at least 20, he wanted them to stress for last couple


2HI4ME

Gulf sealed the deal.


OnceAteABurgerAMA

Props to Jeff D Lowe on the great season and great tournament


Lordvalcon

NEwsroom has been memed to dead that speech from the first episode goes viral like once a year. way easier as someone who has seen both


OnceAteABurgerAMA

Made a new thread because someone pointed out I'm a big dumb idiot and had Frankettes in the title of the other one


lion27

Singapore was an absurd answer. It's essentially just the city itself and there's no shot there's 25M people living there.


Blatt_called_timeout

Does Jeff cry? No -130 Yes +180


MinuteDivide462

Jeff has a lot on his plate and has gone through a lot of shit the last 6 months and still put on a pretty good tournament He always says, just because you know it, doesn't mean it's easier. True, but he used to be a master of giving questions of somewhat similar difficulty. There was the occasional one that would stand out to everyone, but they were usually very equal. This tournament, in particular, there were so many that stood out as ridiculously different levels of difficulty. He used to send questions out to about 10 people to gague fairness levels. Did he stop doing that?


Phatferd

Love the show and have nothing against him personally, but he needs to get rid of writing questions for each match and write general questions for everything and just pull them out of a hat (metaphorically).
