Frank Fleming dropped the new pod and it hits every lever a Stoolie wants in one sitting: a hot Sox start, the Mets, the Stanley Cup Final, the NBA Finals, the Madden curse, and an Ask The Tank segment that keeps the comments section fed for a week. The rundown sidebar on the video feed reads like a Barstool greatest-hits playlist.

FRANK THE TANK POD: JUNE 4TH, 2026 https://t.co/UvO7iZcsC0
The running gag of the episode is Shrinkage, the in-house weight-loss show that has become Oldie's favorite cudgel. Mikey Bets lobs in an Ask The Tank question about Frank's least favorite part of the experience, and Frank plays full dumb on the title, which is exactly the bit you tune in for. The pod thrives on Frank pretending he has no idea what anyone around the building is talking about, and then delivering a perfectly timed deadpan.

The other thread is the Stoolies Clubhouse universe, where the long-running Rico storyline made it into Ask The Tank via a Neal Clubhouse question. The clip catches Frank cracking up at the mere mention of it, which is precisely the tell that he is, in fact, fully caught up on every chapter of the saga, no matter how much he pretends otherwise on air.

Underneath all the inside-baseball is a real sports docket. The Stanley Cup Final and NBA Finals are both live, the Sox have come out hot, the Mets are the Mets, and the Madden curse conversation is back on the table the way it always is when a new cover candidate gets floated. Frank running through that lineup while dodging Shrinkage shots and Rico questions is the format working exactly as designed.
