A couple of weeks before UFC 133 in Philadelphia, Dana White made an appearance on Philly’s Preston and Steve show on WMMR to promote the show. Preston and Steve, being the wacky morning radio show duo they are, invited local comic and YouTube star Ed Bassmaster down to meet the Baldfather as one of his many alter-egos. Dana obviously had no idea who this guy was, as he completely bought that Skippy was just your average TUF fan in khakis and comically thick glasses.
So what happens when you ask Dana why he frequently seems upset and angry?
Well, Dana was so amused that he decided to have Ed wander the locker rooms and hallways at the event, doing interviews and trying to put some moves on Chandella. Of course, what he really wanted to do was get Skippy in the same room with Lorenzo Fertitta and sit back and watch the big guy squirm.
Props to Dana, Lorenzo, Chandella, and the fighters for being patient with the funny guy.
But hey, if Dana likes comedians, why does he hate us so much? Hey Dana, call us; we’ll punk anybody you want. If all it takes to make Dana laugh is “make Lorenzo uncomfortable”, we should be able to get backstage access for a decade.
Props to MiddleEasy for the tip.

Is it just me, or is Xeno playing nice-nice today?
------------------------------------------------------
he is finally getting the picture........you wanna be a stupid douchebag who pretends to be a lawyer and writes long reams of shit NOBODY cares about , or do you wanna try and be clever and relaxed and be cool. sadly he fails at both, but at least hes trying.
But if this guy is a show and is just acting like he is slow or mentally retarded then he is an asshole and watching paint dry is more entertaining.
Is this guy an act or is he really slow? I nevert listened to this podcast or radio show
Looked reflection at mirror.
Me so sorry.
No like fight long time.
Five round, too long...
Small person, not big machine. GRIN
 
Besides, Xeno's idea for an "Ask Skippy" column really deserves some attention. As much as I loved Gary Goodridge, he avoided all of my hard-hitting questions in favor of focusing on the softball MMA-related questions. Skippy might have the balls to answer some of the better questions. But he better not come here and try to hand out any of those fucking brochures he seems to have handy every time the joke is up. We already get enough solicitations on this site for useless crap (thanks Captcha!).
Man, Rashad doesn't miss a chance to give an interview. Dude didn't even ask him a question, and he went on for like 2 mins! haha!
HAHA I agree.
The V-necks are lame, and run a close second to the skulls and chains.
I think Skippy with the Hawaii Five-O his head shaved works better.
When do we get to read the first installment of the "Ask Skippy?"
