Well, you win some, you lose some, and I lost this one.

Spinzone has officially been axed.

Most of you reading this are probably pretty damn happy. You hated the show, you hated me- it was maybe a little confusing, it felt like too much of an act, it wasn’t your Barstool- ok, we heard you loud and clear.

Goodbye to my first baby.

Honestly, it sucks.

Not because I thought it was the greatest show ever created, but because it was my first here at Barstool, and you always remember your first. Even if it didn’t last the longest, or was the best representation of your talents, there will never be another first.

It’s embarrassing, no doubt.

However, I’ll figure it out. And I’ll fail again. People will tell me I suck. I’ll fail again. And again. And probably again. (Well hopefully not that many times, but who knows.)

But in the words of the World’s Greatest Boss, “If tomorrow my company goes under I will just start another paper company. And then another and another and another. I have no shortage of company names.”

Hell, Spinzone had two. (RIP Spitfire)

Ultimately though, if I can overcome looking like this for the vast majority of my youth (and let’s be honest the costume made itself):

I can overcome the death of Spinzone.

I know a lot of people think I don’t belong or fit in, but I’ve worked my ass off to get here and there is nowhere else I’d rather be, so you’re gonna have to keep killing me because I’m not going anywhere, nor will I stop trying.

So farewell, my love, may you rest in peace… and may Boys II Men soften the blow.

(P.S. Big thank you to Dave, Kevin, Feitelberg, Big Cat, PFT, Rone, Carrabis, KMarko, Francis, Chaps, and Erika for waking up entirely too early to tape a show with the new kid. I’m infinitely grateful.)
