    Francis is a gem. Not only is he the smartest person in the room, but he's the funniest too.

    Francis is such a prolific speaker which makes him one of my favorites at barstool. Not only is he genuinely smart but he’s funny.

    I don’t know if Erica will read this comment but I so thoroughly enjoyed this show featuring Francis that I have a suggestion. Erica and Francis’ witty, intelligent fresh and candid interaction was incredible… super interesting and also funny too.
    I think it would be awesome if Francis joined the show full time with Erica. It’s nice to hear Erica talk by herself but I found this 2-way interaction to be fantastic. Francis could also be in the room during Erica’s interviews with other people and add some of his snappy and original wit as a part time professional comedian.
    Just my 2 cents as a long time Stoolie from the Milton days.

    Francis is one of the best when it comes to content at barstool. I find him far more relatable than anyone else on the content side.

    All of Barstool’s best personalities and segments are from their older talent, and they know it. Between Dave, Big Cat, the Yak crew, Rone, Caleb, and Francis it’s clear that barstool is evolving to more mature content

    Francis admiring Caleb is cool because Barstool is in the early stages of becoming complacent and we need a brilliant new idea like Sundae conversations from him to send the company into the next level

    Though we like to tease Francis for being the silver spoon Harvard kid, he never leans in to ego and always seems to be looking for the funny angle. His contribution to barstool is really great and I'm glad he came back. A good CEO knows how to retain good talent -- Erika balances this really well.

    I’m so interested in the screenplay situation - I wonder how Dave and Erika really feel about Francis leading it. Such pros and cons to the sitaution, but I wonder if they’re happy to use his talents as long as they’re splitting the deal.

      he's such a cultivated person, like a Stepford Husband who's perfected the art of schmoozing at RNC Fundraisers, while also being the guy who drinks beers with the fellas at Cheers. Also seems like the type of guy to measure himself on his ability to take your girl lol
