About

Francis is a host of the Son of a Boy Dad podcast, a blogger, and a social media personality who came to Barstool by winning season 1 of Barstool Idol. He has been fired and rehired—one of many traits he shares with Mintzy. Francis is known for his stupid Game of Thrones songs and for eating absurd food in the office. He is getting too old to resonate with the younger audience, so his time at Barstool is likely running out.
