Our Wing Bowl Horse Skin & Bones And I Went On The WIP Morning Show Where I Was Called A Moron, A Dumbell And Told To Shut Up Live On-Air
First and foremost, our Wing Bowl horse Skin & Bones qualifed for this year’s contest by downing 5 HEFTY burgers in 8 minutes. Medium rare, cold meat at 8 am right down the gullet. 7th place last year (click here to watch the mess of a video we did), 4th two battles ago and 1st this Wing Bowl. Let’s get it.
That being said, I’ve been pounded by people asking why Angelo was being such a dick to me on-air. The quick answer: I don’t fucking know. A longer response: Skin & Bones hit me up the night before saying he’d be on the morning show and said I was invited to come into the studio. Hey, I’m never going to turn down the opportunity to A) Support our guy S&B and B) Get Barstool out there to the masses. We arrive at the studio and I meet up with Al Morganti (who is the fucking man and I WISH I had a ticker for how many times the Boston native told me off-air to “Bring Portnoy’s pussy ass down to Philly”. Spoiler Alert: It was more times I could count), Stoolie producer Joe, Rhea Hughes, our boy Andrew Porter – All good people. Didn’t meet Angelo before the show or ever before.
We get into the studio to do the segment and, for those of you unfamiliar with the WIP Morning Show, it’s a shitstorm of people fighting for airtime at once. Yesterday it was Al, Rhea, a PLUMP Hollis Thomas along with whatever guests/callers on live mics having to wait to talk over Angelo, which is usually never. I knew my place and wasn’t going to speak unless spoken to and BAM! Right out of the gates before a commercial break Angelo says “We’ll be back with Skin & Bones and his ‘manager’ who looks like a moron”. Allrighty then. And that was basically the gist of the entire time there ending with asking me a question then telling me to shut up. Never mentioned Barstool or my name once because FUCK trying to be friendly with a respected medium that has great access to a market younger than their demographic of Cretaceous, let’s see whose dick swings lower just because we can. If it was a one-on-one deal, I would have fired back hard because honestly, I couldn’t care less about sewering myself. If I did I wouldn’t have said 1/100000th of the stuff about the Jew In Chief here at Barstool over the years. But I didn’t want to risk Skin & Bones’ chances at anything involving the station or the Wing Bowl (which WIP runs). I’ll go into more detail on the Barstool Philly Sports And Life Podcast this week, but for those of you who were asking, that’s basically the deal.
