Ole Miss coach Chris Beard trolls Barstool’s Mintzy by introducing ESPN’s Pete Thamel as locker-room “special guest”

Barstool’s @OhioTate posted video of Ole Miss basketball coach Chris Beard inviting personality Ben “Mintzy” Mintz for a facility tour, building up a speech about not letting just anyone into the locker room and asking the special guest to speak—then introducing ESPN reporter Pete Thamel instead, leaving Mintzy visibly dejected. The clip is trending for its pure comedy timing, Mintzy’s defeated reaction, running Barstool “bed bugs” memes, and a quick follow-up “redemption” video in which Mintzy later speaks and fires up the team.
