Group Chat Created To Plan 2019 Bachelor Party Is Now Only Parlays That Missed By One Leg
The weekend itself went ahead as planned. Members estimate it accounts for about forty of the chat’s 11,812 messages.
TAMPA. A group chat set up in 2019 to plan Kyle Brennan’s bachelor weekend has been used, according to its seven members, for almost nothing since the weekend except screenshots of parlays that lost by a single leg.
We used to talk about the trip. Then Marcus hit four legs out of five on a Thursday and posted it, and that was sort of it.
A short history of the chat
- March 2019: chat created, flights booked to Nashville
- June 2019: the weekend
- September 2019: first screenshot
- October 2019 to present: screenshots
A typical message is a screenshot showing five green ticks and one red cross, followed by the word “unreal.” By custom, replies are limited to “brutal” or a photograph of the player responsible with a red circle drawn around him.
No member has ever posted a parlay that won. Marcus Oyelaran, 36, said winning slips go in a separate chat, which he declined to name and described as “very quiet.”
Brennan’s wife, Dana, was added to the chat in 2022. Her only message, asking whether anyone was going to say something about the baby, received a screenshot in reply.
