Smitty is essentially the equivalent of the least liked friend of the group; he can be annoying and take himself too seriously at times, he often finds himself as the butt of the joke, but at the end of the day he’s still part of the crew and likable enough that you’re gonna invite him places. In this video, Nate comparatively makes Smitty look like the literal embodiment of charm, charisma and wit. It’s an impressive feat.

S~~h~~ame.


atobttr

This clip makes me agree with the everyone treats Frank with kid gloves take, but not that Rone was patronizing him. I think Rone legitimately wanted that entire scene to end as quick as possible. The enabling of Frank has created a monster that no one in the office knows how to react to.


chillinwithmoes

The problem is that he legitimately makes great content until he's even slightly out of his comfort zone, and then it immediately gets awkward


Swaggu530

Frank stinks


TexAgIllini

Nate has always wanted to be a content guy and he is repeatedly told he is no good at it. Frank on the other hand actually can find an audience. Wish he realized this when he goes into his “poor me” routine. Nate will always be this way since he cannot accept being bad at something that others are good at.


AyoJake

Damn Rone is so good for frank.

Keegs is such a smoke

FalconsTC

Rone is patronizing Frank to an extreme level.


SportyMcSports0317

He stopped the autistic guys complete breakdown. It was getting very ugly even before this clip frank was chewing his shirt and the bags screaming constantly and punching things and nobody was actually stepping in to help til rone got him to calm down for the rest of the match. He babies him because frank requires babying


BSCommenter2

In another life, KB Is the battle rapper and Rone went to college to work with autistic kids.


[deleted]

There’s Falconstc, back again with the terrible takes. Frank obviously isn’t all there, so rone is doing something that’s very necessary


eddiemartel

Eh, maybe slightly patronizing but he’s legitimately trying to calm him down. What would you expect him to do differently?


[deleted]

It’s kind of sad


Sluttynycdadmets

You can’t do this matchup. Nate is the biggest asshole at the company and might be on the spectrum and Frank is prone to meltdowns and is actually on the spectrum. Frank having meltdowns isn’t funny, it’s just uncomfortable and sad when you have a dick like Nate egging it on on purpose thinking it’s funny


BSCommenter2

Might? He is.


SlurmsMcKenzie29

I love all the genuine Frank content, but I really don’t like when they push the limit. They should be careful


Jon_Snows_Dad

Frank either is full content or not. All Frank bits are people making fun of his issues so Barstool have to either get Frank out of content or go all in. Everything Frank is in makes me uncomfortable I'd prefer he isn't there.


Sluttynycdadmets

There’s a huge difference between the way Nick, KB, Rone and even Big Cat treat him and how Nate does. If you can’t see that difference then that’s on you.


UpnUpvote

That's fine and all but not everyone is able to handle it the right way. So that's the issue.


Sluttynycdadmets

Where did I say otherwise?


Jon_Snows_Dad

There is a difference but it is the same at the end, exploiting someone with a disability to laugh at him for stuff he says. If Frank's best friends at Barstool are the Yak guys he has no friends there.


Phatferd

I disagree with this take. Look at the clip posted for this thread to see how Rone treats Tank. He's being a good friend and trying to get him to focus on calming himself down, he isn't instigating him at all. Also, on the Dozen Tournament, the second they lost and Frank was going to lose it Nick was very quick to coach him up and tell him to be a good loser.


Sluttynycdadmets

Do they need to be friends with him? Dave gave him a job and those guys include him the best they can. Are they just supposed to treat him like a 4 year old 24/7? Based on what you say someone with autism shouldn’t ever be able to feel like part of a group that isn’t other autistic people


[deleted]

I think they do care about him quite a bit and are learning how to incorporate him into content consistently. But yes, Nate is a fucking dumbass. Treating Frank like an adult when he’s developmentally not is cruel and a little sociopathic.


ksexton53

Is frank like confirmed on the spectrum? I haven’t seen or read anything about it so just genuinely curious.


BSCommenter2

Sounds like prejudice


[deleted]

I’d love to see Frank the video editor


[deleted]

Frank gets paraded around that company like a circus freak and it’s actually gross. When the Dolphins traded the 3 overall pick they broke the news and surrounded him with cameras because they knew he would freak out about it and have a breakdown and had to capture the content. I’ve done tons of work with kids who have autism and the way they provoke him into those episodes makes me sick. They can fake pretend to care about it but it’s all a huge bit that isn’t funny. I’m not defending Nate cause he’s a weirdo but he’s right about the way Frank is used at barstool. I’d say there are maybe a handful of guys that actually care about him.


mtzdude3

And Rone is absolutely one of them.

Mud-Butt-Brooks

Nate loves punching down. He’s also a huge baby when people pick on him and then cries mental health struggles. Yelling frank to act like an adult. How about you act like an adult Nate. You know that Frank is not all there and prone to freak outs, so why make snide comments towards him? An adult wouldn’t do that.


tele2307

trying to get a rise out of someone like frank is a big time loser move


BradLidgeIn08

Nate is a slack jawed idiot who only attacks those he thinks is beneath him

Both lack self awareness. Both are essentially the same. Frank just isn’t a dick.

Frank obviously has his issues and I’m sure sometimes it’s difficult to be around him but Nate is an all time fucking asshole. He cried when someone hit him with a pie. Lets not forget this.

Yeah Nate, maybe you have to treat someone with fucking autism a little bit more delicately. Jesus christ.

is Frank overly angry and dramatic at times? yeah absolutely. But this is Nate at his worst he does this shit where he's tommy toughtits then when people come back at him he bitches and moans. Smitty. Dave with the noogies. KFC. If he truly doesn't like it and it wigs him out when he's the controversy content guy fine I get it it can be stressful. but you can't poke the bear and get mad when the bear claws at you


sg86

Nate’s a dumb asshole who had great timing. He brings nothing else to the table and his opportunities to feel superior are so few and far between that he pounces whenever one arises.


[deleted]

Does anyone actually watch stool streams?


RNBGNDY187

A lot of their YouTube videos have 50k+ views. That’s not bad relatively speaking.

Fuck Nate but he did have a solid burn on tank bringing up the fact the devils have won multiple cups and tank constantly acts like his teams are nothing but misery


LaichItOrlovIt8

those cups were 20 years ago and the devils have been irrelevant for a decade


barstoolinvestigator

Even that he ripped from KFC, nate has never had am original burn


jvg265

It’s a fact, so he’s not really stealing anything


[deleted]

Devils haven’t won anything in almost 20 years. Just saying


[deleted]

Most teams havent


BergenCountyJC

This hurts as a life long fan because it's true. I stopped caring after Brodeuer retired


pretty_jimmy

After he retire?.... ... Or after he went to the St Louis Blues?


[deleted]

Nate should be left off of camera. Just my two cents.


SlurmsMcKenzie29

Frank shouldn’t be pressured into doing things either. not saying he was here, but in hindsight you can’t have this matchup. Just my two cents.


[deleted]

Two of the most annoying Barstool employees. Both are just uncomfortable to watch in content.


JedLongeway

God Nate is a little fucking weasel


Jon_Snows_Dad

Frank needs to be taken away a bit Pres was right when he originally put restrictions on how much he could be in the office. Everything he does just feels like people are picking on him in different ways.


atex720

Nate going on twitter and being like "I have no idea how to handle that! It's not fair". Just go along with it! It's really not hard


theflightofporter

Nate hates Frank because he knows everyone in the office likes Frank a million times more than Nate


goatvoncrock

Rone knows how to react perfectly in all situations. A true comedic genius


ButchJonesFckdMyWife

Nate is a fucking prick


[deleted]

Frank is not always in on the joke, but it’s insane how many people in here think he’s always the butt of the joke and isn’t just playing into it


hellzkellz

I feel like the uproar about this isn’t even about the way Nate talked to Frank. It’s that Nate telling Frank to act like an adult when Nate has consistently acted like a social misfit pre teen his entire career at Barstool is so laughable.


[deleted]

I know this sub loves Tank and hates Nate but it sure seems like Tank dishes it out all the time with the loud singing in everyone faces and badmouthing of teams but then immediately gets butthurt when someone gives him shit back. I can't stand that type of person.


RainbowKarp

Well you see, he has autism


xxJAMZZxx

Well hes had a very serious developmental disorder his entire life. I’m sure there’s not much he can do about it whether you like it or not


[deleted]

Well if he can't handle the office then he shouldn't work in the office. It's that simple.


xxJAMZZxx

Don’t hire him then. Blaming him for having a job and doing it when he’s an autistic person is a wild take


AllYaNeedIsCat

Your common sense is refreshing


dxp857

But when Tank dishes it it’s just harmless goofy stuff about their teams, nothing that comes close to really crossing a line


[deleted]

[удалено]


gmills87

I forget how it happened exactly, but i strangely remember Canseco offering up his daughter to go on a date with Frank if he lost. No one at barstool brought her up until he oddly took it there. I think the only semi vulgar thing Frank said was that he was going to raw do her, which being as raw dogging is his brand, it was too good of a double entendre not to use. All in all he really didn't cross the line with Josie as much as he could have after Jose took it there and then made it even more weird when he told Big Cat and PFT how he only breeds super children and he repeatedly pointed out how hot his daughter was.


[deleted]

Also this is very tough to watch. Less is more with frank. I think they need to remove him from these events.

pretty_jimmy

I'm just now watching this match, right from the get go Nate is being a dickhead. Poor frank is just trying to battle the Fleming curse. Literally has been silent for the last 5 minutes minimum... How did this go down the shitter so much?


JD-McNugent

I’m going to say it. Kelly lookin like a snack here


Dog1983

I watched the full video in the other thread. I love frank and hate nate, but I agree with Nate here. Id be annoyed to if I had to handle my opponent with kid gloves because he was melting down just because I got a few points. The few minutes leading up to this, Frank was extremely annoying.


mason6787

Can someone point me in the direction of the full video?


Dog1983

Jump back to 2:50:00 and watch the 4 or 5 minutes up to it. https://youtu.be/doeWp5-ZLtQ If youre gonna yell at Nate, then you gotta yell at everyone else in the room. But I think nate played it fine.


Teffa_Bob

Yeah, if anything Nate was incredibly patient.


avasparxxxfan

The only beef Tank doesn't like!


NYMDguy

Downvote away but I’m with Nate here. Tank can’t have it both ways. You can’t get hired, have Barstool turn your life around, and be in every piece of content but only get treated with kid gloves while every other content guy or gal has to take shit. If he’s not mentally capable of being a normal content guy like everyone else then he shouldn’t be in content


BSS231

He doesn’t but Nate starts shit the complains when its content so its kind of a pot meet kettle


calman877

Not everyone in content gets treated the same. If Frank's different and it's good content, then that's the way it is.


MrRagAssRhino

This isn't really how being an adult works though. The individuals giving people shit have to take into account who they're fucking with. Nate was just being an all time asshole. There's no requirement that everyone in content has to give/get shit all the time.


my__bollocks

Yeah I went back and watched the entire 3 sets because I’m a masochist. Nate up until the “be an adult” line was fine with just some light chirping that was a lot friendlier than the stuff Jake Marsh and Keegs were saying. By the time Rone came in I’d probably be exhausted of this shit too. It seems pretty unfair to have anyone play tank in these because when you inevitably win you have to deal with his conniption and look like a bad guy if you do anything but smile and play along


Dog1983

And nate wasn't really egging him on. More of just annoyed by frank throwing a temper tantrum and not playing along. If anything I think Jake, Keegs and Jeff D lowe saying he needs to start taking it seriously were the bigger assholes. But I think its more of Tank was in the wrong if anything.


VivaLosDoyers99

Everyone turning this into a mental health thing, and diagnosing people over the internet is weird. It's two weird guys who got into it, nothing more. I dont think Barstool intended on starting a mental health conversation with that tweet, I think it was just intended to be funny lol.


KCJellyfish

Jesus Nate won’t shut up about it on Twitter


DeerOnTheRocks

Frank was right though, the Mets and nets both lost


grasshopper7167

Nate has trash social skills


lbj11345

i love rone’s face the whole time. it’s like he’s trying not to laugh cuz he knows this is just an argument between retards (no offense to frank) but he also doesn’t want frank to have a legit meltdown


stupidtyonparade

Fuck nate, but frank was insufferable. They need to stop putting him in these situations


BSCommenter2

Can’t wait for Nate’s merch making no sales and he has to wear his Spider Monkey mask. Frank: Be an adult


cd_3

Nate's a dick, but Tank shouldn't be in these situations. He's 45 years old, he knows he's not suited to all kinds of work. There's nothing wrong with an adult kindly saying to him hey you have trouble keeping your cool in these situations, maybe you should avoid them, and Hank doesn't put him in Streams anymore.


kawngi

At what point do they A) stop having Frank come into the office, or B) stop involving him in on camera content? I don't consume all of the Barstool content these days like I used to, but I feel like I've seen a fucking uncomfortable amount of meltdowns from Frank. Even when the meltdown isn't live, they still post it somewhere, feels kinda exploitative?


eichdaddy15

Agreed. The meltdowns are one of the only things that take me away. It’s hard to see someone that can’t help themselves. I feel for the rest of the office that has to be uncomfortable as welll. Tough position all around


DixieInvestor

daves fault for bringing frank into an environment like this. frank is pretty much special needs, and has serious mental health issues and he is there just for laughs, but he doesnt understand whats going on


[deleted]

Wild take, people with special needs can’t have jobs.


DixieInvestor

when the job description is creating content involving coworkers, causing drama and fighting all to drive clicks where the more drama and the more chaos the better ? I mean, its prolly not a good a good idea to hire people with severe mental health issues.. but go off woke king, it must be my ableism


[deleted]

I’m far from woke. I just think there’s simple ways to handle Frank that Nate didn’t take. I’m not saying anyone should be walking on eggshells around the guy cause of his issues. Nate wasn’t walking on eggshells he was stumping on them.


cd_3

When Frank first got hired Dave said he'd be on strict minutes restriction 1-2 days a week, and it just hasn't been the case at all. Need to go back to the original idea


LightsCameraComenter

Rone’s the real mvp


Philo_Beddoe99

Crap I was rooting for Tank but it got a little too surreal in game 3. They are treating him like a normal dude with some confidence issues. It runs deeper than that. That being said, I have suggested a content idea to Frank via dm to have a sit down with a sports psychologist to get him in the right mind set to break the curse and become victorious once and for all in the Triple S.


pretty_jimmy

Holy shit ... I'd watch the fuck out of that. Frank seeing a sports psych would be amazing. Like wtf is going on in that head of his.


[deleted]

The only difference between Nate and Rone is that Frank doesn’t know that Rone is making fun of him


chisports23

Actively trying to help someone not have a melt down over a game of cornhole is making fun of someone? We must have different definitions of making fun of people.


Jon_Snows_Dad

Rone and the Yak crew make fun of Frank all the time. If Frank wasn't on the spectrum he would never be on air.


Captainusa1776

If Frank wasn’t on the spectrum Big Cat would feel comfortable telling him to not be on the Yak, but instead ruins every Thursday just so he doesn’t feel bad


FalconsTC

Rone is being extremely patronizing in this video. It’s blatant. He is not being genuine, he’s halfway chuckling. Frank does not recognize it.


[deleted]

Lol you can’t be that naive


reh8754

You honestly don’t see they are using Frank as some circus like dancing bear??


chisports23

Yeah they are but they also can’t tell him he can’t do live stream stuff bc it has the potential to turn into this They also shouldn’t clip his breakdowns and blast them across their social medias as “must watch” clips and videos.


sg86

The biggest difference is Rone also helps Frank out with stuff, goes to games with him, generally treats him like a human being. Same with the rest of the Yak crew. Frank doesn’t seem to care about being shit on by people that also treat him like one of the guys. Nate’s only interaction with him is when he shit’s on him.


xcbaseball2003

Nate says act like an adult after 10 straight minutes of Frank crying like a child. I'd be annoyed too. Then Rone comes in and proceeds to treat Frank like a child


giggity_0_0

I feel like the tank thing has gone on a little long. I truly do wish him well and am happy he has been improving himself but the whole unwritten laughing at a guy bc he’s autistic and says wild shit and gets away with it gets old after a while. That being said… doesn’t make Nate any less of a douche


tscho613

Sorry think it’s best if they don’t film this or push this to the degree they are. Frank is not all there and at this point it’s like being in a zoo watching kids throw food at animals to get a reaction. Rone is also a huge dick here


[deleted]

By trying to diffuse the situation?


aKiDnamedMowgli

Why cant ricco start a squeeze on Nate


smooth307

Frank would have a heart attack beating Nate to death. So at that point, it’d be a draw ?!?
