Green Greg rings up the bar as Mizzou beats Smokes' Gators
TLDR: No. 25 Missouri beat No. 8 Florida 45-17, so Nicky Smokes lost his Gators bet to Green Greg, and the weekend ended with Greg behind a bar ringing up customers.
This trip started with Green Greg asking Big Cat whether he could move to Chicago, and it did not go smoothly.
Green Greg handled the pressure of asking Big Cat to move to Chicago about as well as Green Greg could have.
Nobody shut the idea down. The Chicago office is Big Cat's operation, the $20 million build-out west of Fulton Market. A kid who still lives with his parents in Missouri asking to join it out of nowhere caught the room off guard. On VIVA TV the next day the reaction came down to a yes and a 'wait, already?'
“I want Greg to move here. Let's make that clear. I just wasn't expecting it to be this soon.”
The same segment set up the rest of the weekend. Smokes was going to stay with Greg, which meant meeting Mama Greg, and Papa Greg was off on a golf trip. So for a couple of days Smokes vlogged out of Greg's parents' place in KC: wings, beers and a house tour. On the show, the advice to Greg was to stop worrying about it.
“Greg, I don't want you to have the rest of this weekend ruined thinking about it because it's not that big of a deal.”
Greg's weekend was fine. By Friday the pair had driven to Columbia for Missouri vs. Florida, and the real business started. Smokes is a Gators guy and Greg is Mizzou through and through, so they put something on it. Spirit Halloween had no butler suits, so the loser gets a caddy outfit instead.
Just left spirit Halloween unfortunately they didn’t have butler suits so instead the loser of Saturdays game will be dressed as a caddy and has to carry the winners bucket around all night. Go Gators!
Missouri treated them well before kickoff too. They toured the football facility, Greg came away with team gear and both got sideline passes. Smokes spent Saturday morning on 9am vodka sodas and hanging out at Mizzou tailgates in Florida gear. Greg made the video board inside Faurot Field.
Then the game happened. No. 25 Missouri ran No. 8 Florida out of its own building, 45-17, and Smokes' live tweets went from hyping the Gators to roasting their defense. Per the terms Smokes set himself, the caddy suit and the bucket duty are his.
The Stoolies took notice of how this crew handles a wager and passed the lesson along to Mintzy.
Greg was the winner, and he still ended up working the night. The last clip of the weekend has him behind a crowded sports bar running the register and swiping a customer's card next to the actual bartender, with college football on every screen behind him.
So here's where things stand. Greg won the bet, got a 'welcome' on the big screen and may have a bar job lined up if Barstool doesn't work out. The Chicago question is still open, and so is the question of when Smokes actually puts on the caddy suit. If Greg does move, the bucket he gets carried around for him is coming to Big Cat's office too.
