If you thought sports podcasts were just hot takes and banter, think again. Emmanuel Acho learned the hard way after LeSean McCoy leaked his secret romance with sports personality Joy Taylor.
And just like that, Acho had to end the live podcast.
During a broadcast of their Speakeasy sports talk show, the pair were discussing fellow former Fox Sports 1 personality Skip Bayless attributing Travis Hunter’s slow start to his career to getting baptized during the season, leading McCoy to reveal that he’s been baptized twice before, including when he was in the NFL.
That comment prompted Emmanuel Acho to reply that McCoy has had done “a lot of sinning” since 2018, which was the last time that the former NFL running back said he was baptized.
McCoy then retorted with a barb of his own, saying: “Says the guy that did a lot of action at Fox, but we ain’t gonna talk about all that.”
Acho laughed off the comments at first, but the vibe turned sour quickly, with him saying “That was the biggest violation in this show’s history,” Acho said.
“Toward the end of the stream as Acho and McCoy turned their attention toward the NBA, the YouTube chat continued to chirp about McCoy’s comments and the allegations against Taylor and Acho. While Acho was speaking, McCoy began giggling to himself. That’s when the vibe changed. Acho abruptly ended the stream as his mood soured.” [via Awful Announcing]
“I’m tired of talking to y’all. I’m done. And chat, I’m tired of y’all too. I’m tired of this show. That was low, 2-5,” Acho said before ending the stream.
The lesson here? Never podcast live with a co-host who treats your romantic life like breaking news.
