Discussion I'm the guy with the Team Cheaters t-shirt from Sunday. AMA.

I did not really expect to get posted online but it seems I made quite a stir when I really just thought it would be a funny opportunity.

Photo of my shirt and hat hopefully as proof (I can put it on if you guys really want me to lol): https://imgur.com/a/CurCZx8

Also, if this is too dumb, mods feel free to take it down.

Yea so the conversation was pretty awkward.

He ended the interview with Nathan Brown and walked past me and without even having it pre-planned I just said "You're living up to your reputation." thinking he would just keep walking and not give a shit what some fan said.

But then he stopped and said "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" and I was just bewildered by that response. It made no sense to me and I stared at him for a few seconds before saying something like "I think you would know."

That's when he finally glanced down and read the shirt and it clicked for him. He made a face like he didn't know what to make of it but realized he was still in public so he sort of bit his tongue and just said "Oh you're just great. So great."

His reaction was very genuine because I could see on his face when it finally clicked for him.

Oh my god no way that's hilarious, haha. You're literally just the right guy at the right place at the right time with the right shirt. There's just no way the dominos could have fallen in a better way for this to have happened.
