48 Hours...IT Was ONLY 48 hours!

Ohio's Tate, take a bow & book yourself a spa day, it has been earned. The NatGeo doc filmed, directed, & produced all by Tate, starring Ben Mintz, is coming to a close this afternoon with what could be one of the saddest lazy river trips known in existence. The last 48 hours all came together in an instant classic of a Fiesta Bowl, with Mintz’s Ole Miss just falling short to Miami, clinching a spot in the national championship. Somehow though, the game still felt like it took a backseat to the aura that was Mintzy.

In what started as just a comment or two by Tate & The Yak on how Mintzy functions, ya know how he manages to do all of these trips so last minute, quickly turned into Tate being the inside scoop into the wild world of Benjamin Mintz. Finally, we get to see how he finds his way through this funny thing called life.

With the commenters split on if this was all Barstool enabling or a masterclass manipulation by Mintz, one thing we all can agree on is it gave us A1 content of him in his natural state. Tate did a beautiful job of letting nature take its course, whether it’d be awkward silent stoolie car rides, lost Uber pickups, fake Fiesta Bowl reps, or being almost 30 minutes late to a free one-of-a-kind meal. All perfectly documented to make your skin crawl in secondhand embarrassment, while at the same time you twitch in withdrawals for more.

Every stoolie across the country, love him or hate him, was sucked into his world. Shocked with every new detail that occurred. Now, does this make Mintz a bad guy or made to hurt him? NO. Who wouldn’t take a free stay, tickets, or a STEAK DINNER WITH A SEAFOOD TOWER! Though thats what makes it all hard to look at, yet you gotta see every moment. It all comes together when you see his demeanor, or lack of awareness of the situation.

For instance, the stoolies that helped him, how many like Chris or Corey have amazing stories that could have slipped through the cracks of Mintz, but now with Tate there, we were able to help out Chris. Which is an amazing story (below is the tweet to buy the shirt to help him out, please do). Another all-time move by Big Cat, Biz, Tate, & Mintzy. Speaking of Biz, him & Riggs deserve shoutouts as well for just showing they are all time dudes, willing to step up for a friend & this company! Also after seeing Biz show a house, he needs to start doing content NHL Cribs in the offseason.. PLEASE!

One side note to this: the legend Danny Boy Cane, fit in perfectly didn't try to steal the show, just played his part & was a great addition. When he took a phone call in the middle of a FaceTime with Lane Kiffin in the Uber... quietly one of the best moments. Yes seriously it was, even with the fake Fiesta Bowl halftime show, ticket debacle, 8 non-alcoholic beers… OHHH & the fact that Mintz not only used Tate’s toothbrush, but all evidence shows he was going to continue to use it!

People that was TWO days… YES... only TWO days. What felt like weeks of content as the tweets poured from Tate’s account, so much we even got an Ohio Tate’s Centel profile.

Still, all of what you experienced & witnessed was only a whisper, a glimpse, a blink into the life of Mintzy. He will continue on, back into the wild, with us only seeing a stray tweet or two on his travels. Meanwhile, Tate closes production this afternoon in the lazy river, exhausted & surely begging for a cinnamon challenge or even a hot chip after what he saw on the Ben Mintz frontlines.
