Steven Cheah crowns Dante hottest guy in Barstool Chicago
TLDR: Steven Cheah ranked the 15 hottest guys in the Barstool Chicago office on The Yak, put Dante at No. 1, slotted Nicky Smokes at 15 and started a day-long fight.
Every slide in the ranking came with a 'female celebrity comp', and the guy at the bottom of the list reacted first.
The Duquesne line is a March Madness joke. A 15 seed is a team that's just happy to make the field, and that's how Smokes is taking it: he made the list, barely. The top of the list was a different story. Cheah's No. 1 was Dante, who showed up on the slide in a white blazer with a Jennifer Lopez comp next to his name, and the Yak hosts loved it.
Dante thanked The Yak and Cheah right away, and the rest of the building started picking sides. People were roasting Smokes over his 15 on the show. Rudy, who apparently didn't make the list at all, called finding out you're not sexy enough for Steven Cheah 'a hell no human should have to endure.' Then Smokes did the obvious thing and posted his own top 15.

He put himself sixth. He left Dante off completely. Cheah answered that he respected Smokes making a list, but leaving off Dante was crazy. Todd Miller called the whole thing spiteful toward the Don and demanded justice. Dante didn't let it go either.
Dante's reply is the best post of the day, in part because 'I'll remember this next weekend' is a threat with nothing behind it. Smokes went with 'honestly completely forgot,' called him an absolute stud and put him 'easily top 7.' That's a big jump from not making the list, and nobody really bought it.
@ToddCFCMiller lol. Oh @nickysmokess. Jealousy is a female trait. I’ll remember this next weekend
By that night Cheah was defending his own cuts. He said trimming the list to 15 was tough and asked who the biggest snub was, which gave Rudy and everyone else left off another chance to complain. The next morning Dante got another surprise: there's now a fan account making slow-motion thirst edits of him, captioned with Cheah's ranking.
Should I be worried? I should be worried about who this person is making these right?
Dante is playing along with the 'should I be worried' bit, but he's clearly enjoying being the most celebrated man in the Chicago office. And Cheah isn't done. Rone's Wednesday morning show listed a new segment on its rundown: Cheah ranking his hottest dudes in New York.
This morning: -Rob Enriquez on his new series -PFT promotes Pup Punk -we get surgical with KFC -Cheah ranks his hottest NYC Dudes Also, incredibly unfortunate spine art for the book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Just brutal.
So the NYC office gets its turn next. Chicago took one ranking and turned it into a feud, a fake top 7 and a fan account in less than a day, which sets the bar pretty high for New York. The thing to watch is whether anybody there takes being snubbed as badly as Rudy did, or as badly as Dante took being left off Smokes' list.
