I was sitting around, minding my own business last week (read: binge watching Netflix), when one of my brother’s old colleagues from NY who I haven’t seen or spoken to in years private messages me on Facebook with some interesting info. She had read my previous post, “You Dated HIM??” about my brief stint with one of the Barstool Sports guys (Devin, or DFC as I refer to him), and she happens to be a fan of them… a “Stoolie,” if you will?
Now I read this message and was like nahhh, there’s no way he’s talking about me…that was soooo long ago…why would he be bringing it up now? Plus, I had thought he lied and said he was living in Hoboken, not the Bronx. Admittedly, this was like 9 years ago, so I really don’t remember exactly where he lied about living. It very well could have been the Bronx; I just remember it certainly wasn’t at home with his parents. I gave the Podcast a listen, and for five full minutes I’m thinking, “holy shit he’s totally talking about me.” Literally, word-for-word, how I would have told the story myself (maybe minus the part where he called me a dumb bitch…but he also called me pretty hot, so we’re totally cool). He even dated it, guessing our approximate ages at the time. So unless he had the same exact event happen twice in the same year, with two people the same ages as we were, quoting the girl saying the same things I said to him, he was damn well talking about me.
Here’s a small clip from his full podcast on KFC Radio in which he tells the story during a segment about lying to girls:
Now here poses the question, what are the f*cking chances that we both happen to remember, and publicly share, the same exact story from nine years ago, within the same 6-week time period?
“He must have seen your blog,” one friend suggests. But how? I go to great lengths to block anyone that would potentially see something I write about them (yeah, I’m a huge baby, I know)… and wouldn’t he have called me out on that? Or is he just stealing my story because it was obviously so intriguing? Or, could this, in fact, be just a very large, strange coincidence?? Could both of us really be re-telling the same story at the same time 9 years later?
Ginge hears the Podcast, thinks it’s hilarious, tells me he’s 100% talking about me, and says he’s sending DFC my blog.
“NO! Do NOT!” I don’t like it when people know I’m talking about them behind their backs. Then I think about it and realize he talked about me behind my back too. We’re even. I decide to message him and tell him about my post myself, and that I heard the Podcast. I guess he hadn’t received the message to wherever I sent it yet, but he received someone elses…. (WHO ARE YOU? REVEAL YOURSELF!)
So wait… so he did, in fact, randomly tell this story on his Podcast last week, having no idea I had just written the same exact one. Annnddddd….my details were wrong. Touche. We’re even? We chatted a bit, laughed about it, and I invited myself onto his show and he said no. Rude. Super rude.
Then, this morning, one of his “Stoolies” messaged me, and tattled on him. He released his weekly Podcast this morning, and updated our story, with a full-read of my previous blog post. I listened, I laughed (how are you questioning the fact you’re a little bit of a ginger) and he called me out on my details being wrong (dude, it was 9 years ago). Ginge also listened, laughed, and I’m pretty sure his week was made…. OMG Barstool DFC talking about him on his Podcast! Ginge is totally famous.
And so am I? Maybe? A little? I’d like to thank all 12 of my readers for keeping me in the loop. I’m glad our people were able to help us connect the dots even though I disguised DFC’s identity so well… Devin, it’s been funny talking about each other behind each other’s backs. But stop lying. You’re really not good at it.
Here’s a link to this week’s Podcast with DFC’s version of our updated story. If you don’t want to listen to them bitching about the Master’s (and if you’re reading this blog, chances are, you don’t), then skip to 17:15.
