Sitting courtside at Celtics game. I told RJ Barrett I bet his over rebounds and need him to go to work. He said how many do you need, and I said 5. He said I got you.
That was 2 quarters ago. He has 1 rebound.
My girlfriend couldn’t believe that I’m playing golf today. She said, “you choose your golf course over me a lot, and your golf course doesn’t give you blowjobs.”
“True,” I said. “But it lets me play the back holes any time I want.”
We laughed. It was a good moment.
My girlfriend and I are playing board games with another couple. For teams, I suggested we swap girlfriends. I said “this is like swinging, except we won’t regret it tomorrow.”
No one laughed. They hated it. It’s not fun now.
If you meet a girl at a bar and she says “bet I can drink more than you,” she’s probably wrong.
But if she says “I bet you $200 I can chug 16 ounces of room temperature Natural Light faster than you” and she has two friends filming behind her? She’s right
An IG group chat of white dudes got mad and added me to their group to scold me. So I changed the group chat name to Francis’ Cum Guzzlers and made the pic my headshot. Here’s to AJ, CJ, Hayden, Trevor, and Beau for making it about race! Allies!
I met Spike Lee at a Rangers game once. I told him I took a class on his films in college. He asked where (thank God) & I said Harvard. He askd if I knew Jeremy Lin. I said we took a science core together. Then he asked if Lin was really a virgin. I said I dunno & he said "damn."
I have an announcement:
I just watched “Meme” on Netflix. I no longer want to go viral. That movie terrified me.
Having said that, if this goes viral, that’d be sick
All hail Massachusetts PD. Absolutely heroic work here. May their example shine bright and true and catch hold in other metropolitan areas around the nation.
I’m at La Guardia airport and Tim Tebow is going through security with me. I just watched him stack and consolidate the empty bins for 5 minutes, even though he already had his items. It was EXACTLY what I hoped he would do.
A guy at my gym just asked me out for a drink. I politely declined, saying that I was straight. He goes “I don’t believe you,” and then walked away.
And now I have no idea what I want.
Call me a good friend but I refuse to like the posts of my friends’ ex-girlfriends. It’s called loyalty. I still zoom when they’re in bathing suits but I keep that to myself.
The discrepancy between how much sex I thought we would have and how much we’re actually having reminds me of a Christmas where I told my grandma I wanted a lego millennium falcon and she died instead
Every time I take a cab to the airport, I ask the driver where he's from. He'll say some faraway country. I'll name the capital, thinking it will impress him. It doesn't, and then we ride in silence.
I really overestimated the value of memorizing capitals as a child
I’m at my gf’s fancy work party. They were handing out hors d’oeuvres and I grabbed a fish taco. I didn’t see the lime, ate it whole, spent 5 minutes trying to chew through the rind. Everyone saw it. You ever eat a whole lime? Jesus Christ
Here’s a video of a dude stealing my Citibike yesterday. Never seen anything so casual. I’m getting a $1200 charge from Citibike and I’m not even mad, just impressed. If anyone recognizes this guy, please put me in touch with him so he can teach me how to live a happier life.
Life after Barstool...
Jenna Marbles: a million billion YouTube views
Pat McAfee: ESPN football announcing job
Francis Ellis: lost 14 pounds eating overnight oats he made during the day, aka nocturnal oats
This kid just drove off the road in front of me. I pulled over to see if he was ok and he goes "HOLY SHIT, FRANCIS FROM BARSTOOL?" I was like hey man, you ok? He was like "who cares! What's Pres like in real life?" Probably the most hardcore stoolie I've ever met.
“I mean the thing was that when Hank said ‘good luck’ I thought that was the green light to play poker but whatever I’m thinking of doing some standup myself I mean if Brandon Walker can do it hell how hard can it be one time my mom found my Playboys there’s something there I
This was the text exchange I had with

when I got fired. He’s a class act and was even cool when I accidentally texted him about some sunglasses.

for life
It’s Bagel Monday at my old workplace. I’m here to clean out my desk, and they forgot to cancel the bagel order.
40+ breakfast sandwiches for me. Things are looking up.
Only person here is
@allbusinesspete
He came over to say hi and wish me well in my future endeavors.
Just kidding. He came to take my key card and make sure I didn’t take the laptop.
I’m eating dinner 10 feet from the sign for my show. A dude just walked by, saw the sign, and went... “are you fucking kidding me? This dude SUCKS.”
Hot start!
I love when my therapist goes on vacation. It’s a nice few weeks for me to summon the demons and undo all the work she’s done. Hope the beach was nice! Thanks to your selfishness, I’m a threat to society again!
While
@franciscellis
has used strong language in condemning the
#UkraineWar
and referred to a “potentate” as responsible for the conflict, he has so far avoided calling out
#Putin
by name or Russia as the aggressor.
I was at a bar last night and the manager knew who I was. They had a bucket of $1 Jell-O shots, and he brought me 6 on the house.
Sometimes you have to stop to take stock of how well you’re doing. Three years ago, I’d be out $6 for those shots. Now, they’re a perk.
Just ran into a group of old coworkers at Whole Foods. Saw them coming and grabbed a bottle of 12-year aged balsamic to make them think I’m doing just fine. Then I told them I have 7 job offers already. Then they left and I shoplifted the balsamic in my compression shorts.
A waitress just dropped an entire tray of glasses and they shattered everywhere. She stood frozen for a second, then started sobbing. An older guy said, “are you alright?” And she screamed, “fuck you!” and ran out.
Best French toast I’ve ever had.
I follow a few people on Instagram who actually went to Fyre festival. Each one of them has posted photos from it this week, with long captions saying “I learned so much” and it “changed who I am.”
Hey dipshits? We’re never going to feel bad for you
I ordered my gf a bracelet from a company called Ring Concierge. They said orders were backed up 8-10 weeks because of COVID, and her birthday is in September.
It arrived in 4 days. She saw the package. She was thrilled about the “totally random” gift.
Gonna be a sad birthday
I love how doctors always knock before coming in to your exam room to see you. As though I decided to jerk off between getting my vitals tested and being told I drink too much.
Ran into an old flame
@FrankieBorrelli
at the market. He gave me a hug. I was ashamed of the frozen pizza at the top of my basket. Here’s a picture of him from behind, which is how I knew him best. I need a new market.
Watching
@barstoolwsd
tell this lovely etiquette coach to her face that her means of making a living is "fucked up, no disrespect to your profession" was a singular, joyous moment of my year
Full video later today.
The guy across the aisle from me on the flight to Vegas did not bring luggage. None. He said he wanted to “force myself to win, so I can buy things I need.”
Bold strategy. I wish him well.
This is how close I came today to a hole-in-one. Instead, the ball slammed into the pin and bounced thirty feet away. I then 3-putted for a bogie that ruined my weekend and my life is just one long weekend now
In September, my friends and I were on a golf trip in Nova Scotia
@cabotlinks
We heard about a wedding in town. Didn’t know where. Drove until we saw cars parked outside a tent and crashed it with only a case of Smirnoff to offer.
Today, 7 months later, I got this in the mail:
I’ll have kids someday, and the first thing I’ll tell them is that their birth was the second best day of my life. Just don’t see anything topping last night. Thank you Boston.
Here is my encore, where I came out and did my GOT song with 800 Bostonians singing along.
My dad’s new Tesla starts with a key card. I made sure to put it in a separate pocket from my cell phone. Then I realized it’s a Tesla, not a Holiday Inn Express.
Ohio loses a great English teacher; we gain a great blogger. Welcome aboard

*the simple past of “ring” is “rang,” not “rung.” I’d have caught it before publication but it’s Friday. Microbrews on me when you’re in town.
Dad is receiving an honorary degree from the University of Southern Maine today for his contributions to education in Maine.
I sent him a picture of my Harvard degree and said “mine’s real.”
He replied with a picture of the tuition bill and said “you’re welcome motherfucker.”
Last night we sat courtside at the Celtics game. I don’t understand why people don’t sit courtside. It’s a much better experience. You can smell the sweat. So many people at the game had regular seats. I felt bad for them.
Some failing magazine asked me to send in a resumé for a writing position. I haven’t touched it in a decade, but the farther you are from college, the more you can lie! Good luck turning me down with my 4.6 weighted GPA in biomechanical Arabic engineering! I’m so overqualified
The ANUS guys came over for a barbecue.
@nickturani
walked in and handed me a loaf of Wonderbread. I asked him why, and he said it’s the only thing that goes with everything 🤷♂️
I’ve been eating at restaurant by myself for 20 minutes. Just spotted an elderly woman also eating by herself. In a fit of idealism, I asked if I could join her for company. She said no.
Nothing like getting rejected by someone who could die any minute but would rather die alone

BC: How 'bout Francis? He's been solid the past couple rundowns.
(Dave scans the entire content floor)
Dave: let me see who's on the second floor.
I told my four-year-old niece that she should share her toys with her friends. She looked up at me and said "just like how NATO is supplying Ukrainian resistant with arms and medical supplies?" I was blown away.
I’m 29. My favorite hobby is asking all my friends with girlfriends if they’re getting engaged. But I do it when the girlfriend is present because I’m either planting the seed and can later take credit for it, OR... they already argue about it and sparks are about to fly
Rico's time away from the company makes my time away from the company look like the Precambrian Supereon, which lasted almost 4.2 billion years from the formation of the planet to around 252 million years ago.
How's Maine, you ask? Yesterday it snowed 6 inches. Today it's been constant freezing rain. The roads are covered in black ice and it's dark at noon. My dad and I have been playing Rock Paper Scissors for an hour. It feels like the end of time itself. Super cozy!
My girlfriend and I split a lottery ticket and joked about how cute it would be if we won and split the money.
I then had a panic attack and bought $100 of my own tickets, to increase the chances that she won’t get a fucking dime
Today at the dog park a lady said our dog looked skinny. I said they’re a lanky breed, and she said there’s a fine line between lanky and skinny. Then she asked what I feed her. I said the chicken and rice kind. She said be specific but I walked off and said “nosy cunt” to a tree
