I love Mike Robles, an Emmy-winning stand-up comedian originally from the Boogie Down Bronx. I love his comedy (this one is our favorite: Mike’s New Dating Philosophy, over 188k views on YouTube) and I love his vibe on Twitter and Facebook. Mike is the real deal, and a great friend.
Only problem is that ever since we met two years ago, Mike has given me grief about my love for the Red Sox and the Patriots (he calls me the Bronx Judas). And tonight, he laid it all down on the line by challenging me to a bet on YouTube. Here is what he said:
Wow, Mike, you really want to go there? Ok, we will go there. You win and I will wear a Yankee cap and praise all that is Yankee (BTW, I have NEVER denounced the Bronx, I LOVE the Bronx, so there). I win and you wear a Red Sox cap and write a poem about my brilliance. Just in case you need a video record of that, here you go:
Julio, my friend.
I having nothing but love and respect you brother!
You’re a Harvard Grad, author, and social media expert!
Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, you went astray and know it’s time to come back home, where you belong.
You’re inner child cries, YANKEES!!
Wake up Julio – You’re PATRIOTS are going down. We both know it, just ask Peyton Manning! I want you to go get your head examined and fitted for your brand new ERA Yankee Cap. You’re going to look great in one, just like Tom Brady.
The only thing I do not like about Tom Brady is his love of the Yankees. Tomorrow, it will be Patriots 56 Jets 3 and Mike Robles, Emmy-winning comic wearing a Red Sox cap and reading a poem about me = priceless.
Caballeros, given the second of my last names, how could I cheer for anyone but the Jets?
If the Patriots win, I will inform everyone on Facebook that I am Raul Ramos y Brady for the day.
Well said, Raul! On a side note – did you know that Tom Brady is a big Yankees fan?
Did not know that about Mr. Brady. I’ll bet that does not sit well in Boston.
We have you on record!
New England’s best record ever was 18 AND ONE.
Kevin, you win the award!
Go Pats….. can’t wait to see this poem about Julio… it will happen!
Thank you! This will be fun!
Julio, for all day Monday, please refer to me as “Raul Ramos y #6-is-#1-Sanchez.”
Although I think the Jets will prevail against Pittsburgh as well, my name is already way too long to risk being Raul Ramos y Roethlisberger, even for a day.
Hope you will leave the dark side and join me in cheering for the Jets next week.
Ha, I cannot root for the Jets, Mr Ramos #6-is-#1 Sanchez!
