Okay - people are going to be very upset this is even mentioned, but don’t shoot the messenger. Chael pivoted directly from AJ talk to directly asking CP: “did Sammy Sasso get shot trying to buy drugs?” After nervous laughter from the FRL crew, CP said “I don’t think so”. Chael then said “I know your ’lie face’ and then played out a hypothetical botched drug deal in a humorous fashion. It was EXTREMELY awkward.
But if you remember, there was a (ex?) Pitt wrestler on twitter who said the exact same thing right after the shooting and he got hammered for it on social media.
It’s not like I didn’t cite the exact minute on the FRL podcast that’s free to listen to where Chael goes off on his tangent. Anyone curious can hear it. In fact, here’s the transcript:
“
Did Sammy Sasso get shot buying drugs? On the spot.
Gosh, I don't think so.
Pivot.
All right, now I know your lie face. All right, we continue. We can continue with this little game of back and forth.
Yikes.
Yeah. Well, we'll switch gears here. Where do we want to go?
You know, since it has been, but even if you buy drugs from a guy, but don't you ever report, you know, hey, you remember me. I was here two weeks ago. What's up?
It's all good. I'm a couple bucks short. I'll get you next week.
I mean, isn't there like an honor out on the street anymore? Is that not how it is?
It's been so long for me, Chael. I just don't.
Maybe they didn't recognize him. He shows up with a slimmy, right? That's the disguise.
Maybe he's got a head down. They don't see the curly hair. He should have been able to say, Hey, it's me.
It's Sammy. You would think you would think they don't just turn to blasting.
I don't. I'd listen. I'm moving on.
Yeah, you were there.
So I wasn't there. I. Yeah, well, we'll go to NCAs”
