Dozen Xtreme Final: Rust Belt vs Founding Fathers For $15K

Championship night came with a warning label from the show's own account, and fair enough. Real money, and 2 teams that will not let each other forget it.

⚠️ CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT ⚠️ The Dozen Xtreme - Pro Football Edition pres. by @jerseymikes comes to a close as Team Rust Belt (@nickturani @OhioTate @Jerrythekid21) takes on The Founding Fathers (@danabeers @barstoolWSD @EddieBarstool)

If you've missed the run, The Dozen Xtreme takes the usual Barstool trivia format and mixes in physical challenges built around football. Jersey Mike's presents it, Jeff D. Lowe hosts it, and the last team standing gets $15,000. Team Rust Belt locked up their spot early, so when Match Two opened, everybody on set knew exactly who the winner was going to play.

The Founding Fathers won that match, and the losing side knew exactly how they gave it away. Steven Cheah said the catching portion decided it, and he owned the drop that hurt them.

So the final is Beers, White Sox Dave and Eddie against Turani, Jerry and Tate, and Jeff D. Lowe pitched it as exactly what the show is: trivia, but extreme.

There's history here, and most of it runs through WSD. On the Yak on 2026-09-21, before the matchup was even set, Tate was already daydreaming about meeting White Sox Dave in the playoffs. Then he took the bit way too far.

Well, Tate got his playoff matchup. He just got it on a trivia set for $15,000 and not in somebody's parents' house. The trash talk had already been going for a while: on that same Yak, Turani said he'd gotten in WSD's head over a mini golf match. Now 1 of these 2 teams leaves with the money and every right to talk about it until the next tournament, and the other has to sit there and hear it.
