Michael Phelps Disses Cambrige Pizza

(Bostoninno) In the water, Michael Phelps has spent his time earning 18 Olympic gold medals. Out of the water, he spends his time dissing Boston.

The athlete was in town over the weekend, taking to Twitter to share his Boston experience. He sent out the following tweet at 3:24 a.m. on Sunday morning:

Love Boston…. Amazing… @julepbar was awesome… But one thing that was upsetting was we tried to order pizza from @pizzaring said they said it takes over an hour to get a pie when they’re down the street… Seems unreal… Goodnight tweeps !! Go ravens!!!

Thanks for the most backhanded compliment ever, Phelps. The athlete spent 38 of the 44 words in the tweet dissing Boston. Sure, he loved Julep Bar. But he then went over Twitter’s 140 character limit to complain about our “unreal” late night pizza situation. And, the icing on the cake, decided to throw in his support for the Ravens just hours before the AFC Championship game.

Here’s the thing. You are Michael Phelps. You are one of the world’s most celebrated Olympians. Why are you calling pizza places at 3 a.m. and not announcing yourself?

At your best, you’ve been known to consume 12,000 calories a day. Brands like Subway are chomping at the bit to get you on board. You could probably have any food your heart desires. Yet, you still decided to call some Cambridge pizza place (with crappy Yelp reviews, might I add) when you were hungry.

Pizza Ring’s manager confirmed our suspicions that flaunting his celebrity would have gotten him whatever he wanted. The manager told the Boston Globe that he had no idea Phelps was on the other line, and had he known, “He would have had royal service.”

We’ve all heard of the munchies, Phelps. Use your status to cure them.

Steve Aoki & Michael Phelps Go White Raver-Rafting

(Craveonline) Dim Mak Mondays at Club XS on Las Vegas’ strip have become a notorious spot to see Aoki’s antics at their craziest. Known for throwing cake and spraying champagne, the DJ is also noted for his on-stage celebrity guests. The most recent guest was Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps. Steve Aoki sets the scene.

“He’s the man. It was actually the first time I’d ever met him face to face. We have a few mutual friends, like poker friends, and Soul Republic. We’re connected through them. He came out and was like “I love No Beef. I used to play it before races.” He came out with me on stage, we ‘white-raver rafted’ over the crowd. I was a bit worried. I was like “all right Michael, you go and do it on your own.” And he was like “No man! We do this together!” There were a lot of girls right there and they were in heels. But I jumped in first; he was at the tail end. Then 10 seconds later I look back and he’s already out. I think he capsized.”

If you can’t imagine it, here’s a picture of the ‘whiteraver rafting’ from Aoki’s instagram. Rafting over a sea of fans isn’t the only thing that Aoki and Phelps share. Aoki elaborates, “Right after my set, we played [poker] from like 4 in the morning ’til 10am straight. He’s still probably at the table.” No stranger to placing a bet or two, Stryker asked who Aoki would rather sit at a poker table with; Phil “the Unabomber” Laak or Antonio “The Magician” Esfandiari.



Aoki laughed, replying, “Both those guys are good friends. Antonio actually taught me. I would have to say Antonio because I know him better but at the same time I don’t. We have prop bets going on throughout the whole year. We made one that actually changed my lifestyle. It’s 12 workouts every month and every time you miss it, you play $100. It’s a gentleman’s bet. It’s just your word and you stick to it.”
