If you keep tabs on podcasting drama, you’re probably familiar with Bob Menery’s decision to part ways with the Nelk Boys after helping get Full Send off of the ground. He may claim he doesn’t regret that decision, but Dana White seems to think he made a mistake based on what he had to say about the fairly messy exit.
As you may or may not know, Bob Menery linked up with the YouTubers known as the Nelk Boys (comprised of Kyle Forgeard, Jesse Sabastiani, and Lucas Gasparini) in 2021 for a new podcast.
Dubbed Full Send, the crew managed to attract a number of high-profile names that helped the show make headlines on a regular basis, and they came pretty hot out of the gate by getting UFC head honcho Dana White to sit down for their inaugural episode.
Based on what Menery has said about his role on the podcast, he leveraged his relationship with White (and a number of other notable names who appeared) to help Full Send grow, but in 2022, he opted to pursue his own career and ventures after deciding he didn’t receive the compensation he felt he deserved.
Menery has largely focused on his Instagram account since leaving Full Send, and while it appeared he was still on good terms with Dana as of this summer, you have to wonder if that’s still the case based on what White had to say during a recent appearance on his former show.
During the sitdown, White told the Nelk Boys he called Menery to ask him “What the f— are you doing?” when he heard he was leaving Full Send—a decision one of the hosts described as “the biggest bag fumble ever.”
While White warned Menery “You’ll regret this for the rest of your life” if he declined to change his mind, he was obviously unable to sway the former Nelk associate, who he asserted plummeted “straight down to the bottom” as a result.
It’s clear White and the Nelk Boys still appreciate Menery as a person despite their differences, but the fact that Dana referred to him as a “f—ing train wreck” probably won’t sit too well with him.
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if we’ll be treated to some more drama as a result.
