Recorded: January 6th 2024 Will Compton and Taylor Lewan sit down with comedian, writer, podcast host, and Barstool personality Francis Ellis. Francis shares his journey through the ups and downs of the comedy world, getting his ass beat, surviving concussions and cancel culture. He discusses his infamous “faking cancer” story, his hilarious encounters sliding into the DMs of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models, and his perspective on resilience. Francis also delves into his history and current relationship with Dave Portnoy and how Dave has helped shape his resurrection in comedy and digital content creation. The Boys also review the quarterfinal results of the CFP, discussing Texas vs. Ohio State, which could be a potential revenge game for Quinn Ewers, and Notre Dame vs. Penn State. With the NFL playoffs locked in, Will and Taylor briefly share their thoughts on the wildcard round matchups and identify the dark horse teams in the AFC and NFC. Big hugs and tiny kisses!
