1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:11,159
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The

2
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: Michael Very Show is on the air. Congress often attracts

3
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: the wrong kind of people, and when they get there,

4
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: it instills in them a belief that they are better

5
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: than everyone else. A Florida Congressman, Sheila Cheerfulless McCormick, a Democrat,

6
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: has been arrested and charged with stealing five million dollars

7
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: in COVID FEMA funds, laundering that money which ended up

8
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: in her twenty twenty one congressional campaign. The indictment says

9
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: that Cherfilis McCormick and her brother conspired to steal a

10
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: five million dollar overpayment they received from FEMA for a

11
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: COVID vaccination staffing contract in twenty twenty one. Oh what

12
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: are the chances that a Democrat congressman would put her

13
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: brother in the vaccine staffing business and that they would

14
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: accidentally get overpaid and steal the money. The story from

15
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,919
Speaker 1: WPLG TV in Miami. Everybody feels like the under attack.

16
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: Tonight, a federal grand jury indicting Congresswoman Sheila Scherphalus McCormick

17
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: and several associates, accusing them of dealing millions and federal

18
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: disaster funds, laundering the money and using part of it

19
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: to support her twenty twenty one congressional campaign.

20
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: The money we invested was to make sure that we

21
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: can touch the people in the community.

22
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: But the money didn't determine this election.

23
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: Because most people put a lot of money in the

24
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 2: community in the campaigns they don't win. Federal prosecutors say,

25
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: Cheerflus McCormick and her brother, Edwin Shurfless ran a FEMA

26
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: funded COVID nineteen vaccination staffing contract through their family healthcare company.

27
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: Prosecutors say in July twenty twenty one, the company received

28
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: a five million dollars over payment. Prosecutors say the group

29
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 2: diverted that money and tried to hide it through multiple accounts.

30
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: The indictment says a large portion of those funds was

31
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: used for campaign contributions and personal expenses. Prosecutors alleged the

32
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 2: South Florida Democrat in nadiez le Blanc arranged additional donations

33
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 2: using straw donors, funneling money to friends and relatives, who

34
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: then donated to the campaign as if using their own money.

35
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: Investigators say the congresswoman, with the help of her tax

36
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: preparer David K. Spencer filed a false federal tax return,

37
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: allegedly disguising political spending and personal costs as business deductions.

38
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: US attorney Jason Reading Kenyonez writing, public money belongs to

39
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: the American people. When FEMA funds are diverted for personal

40
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: or political gain in a roads trust and harms US.

41
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: All attorneys for the congresswoman writing, she is a committed

42
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: public servant who is dedicated to her constituents. We will

43
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: fight to clear her good name. If convicted of South Florida,

44
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: congresswoman could face up to fifty three years in prison.

45
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: The co defendants could also face decades behind bars.

46
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: She may have her lawyers write threatening letters to the

47
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: media tell them to stop questioning her. How dare you

48
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: question her? What she's doing now? There? You you ever

49
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: notice how many of these programs end up with fraud

50
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: as part of them. It's not by accident. There is

51
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: a Somali led welfare fraud that is being uncovered daily

52
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: and prosecuted daily. More and more of them are taking deals.

53
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: And you've got a bunch of Somali immigrants in Minneapolis,

54
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: and it's the large, supposedly the largest welfare fraud in

55
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: American history to date, and it all happened right under

56
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: Tim Waltz's nose. But that's really too kind to Tim Waltz,

57
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: because if you actually look at the details of what happened,

58
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: the governor not only should have known what happened, but

59
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: I suspect may have, which makes this story much more interesting.

60
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: What if he did know? What if he didn't know

61
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: and didn't dare do anything about it. He didn't dare

62
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: do anything about it because he needed the Somali support.

63
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: Very interesting question. California has revoked the commercial driver's licenses

64
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: they issued to seventeen thousand illegal aliens. Transportation Secretary Sean

65
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: Duffy says, after weeks of claiming they did nothing wrong,

66
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom and California have been caught red handed now

67
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: that we've exposed their lives. Seventeen thousand illegally issued trucking

68
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: license licenses are being revoked. So your first question is,

69
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: wait a second, why is Newsom revoking something he did?

70
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: He loves illegal aliens, he does, but they're spending a

71
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: lot of money on his presidential campaign right now, and

72
00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: they're going out into swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,

73
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Hey, do you think government should issue a

74
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: commercial driver's license that means you're driving around an eighteen

75
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: wheeler to an illegal alien? And the polls are coming

76
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: back saying not no, but hell no. Only eighty six

77
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: percent of Americans said they don't want members of Congress

78
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: trading stock. They're probably a higher percentage that don't want

79
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: illegal aliens driving eighteen wheelers on the roads that we're

80
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: all on. That case of the Indian illegal alien that

81
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: came through Canada, which is how it happens when they're

82
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: from India on the freeway, killing the family, that has

83
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: received a lot of attention and got a lot of

84
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: people thinking hard about this issue and the real consequences

85
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: because that was a commercial driver's license issued in California

86
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: to an illegal alien there on the West coast of

87
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: the United States, and the death he caused was on

88
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: the East coast. Because they're driving all over the country

89
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: without proper training, in many cases, without the ability to

90
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: speak our language. So if there is a problem, if

91
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: there is a problem, you see these cases where somebody

92
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: calls nine to one one. They can't they can't take direction,

93
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: they can't give direction, it's the Tower of Babel. It's

94
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: just insane. It's terrible. We don't want our country to

95
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: fall into this. We can stop it. There's no shame

96
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: in stopping it. Oh you think so? Ramone thinks the

97
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: driving test? Where do you come up with this stuff?

98
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: Ramone thinks that the driving test for illegal aliens before

99
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: they can get an eighteen wheeler commercial driving license was

100
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: to have them drive slowly on the highway. She just

101
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: seems like it, doesn't it.

102
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's been drives. Go on a driveway Saturday. Of course,

103
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 4: the seats were originally leather. Now they're pitiful red.

104
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: You know these seats were brown on there? Do you

105
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: know this car?

106
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: I know this car?

107
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: How do you know this car? Definitely know this car?

108
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: Ninety fourty on Buick Roadmasters Straight eight Fireball eight only

109
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 4: eighty ninety five production models. Dad, let's be drive still

110
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: on a driveway.

111
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: But not a Monday.

112
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 4: Definitely not a Monday.

113
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 5: The Michael Arry Show, to be part of your sixty

114
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 5: minutes did a profile on an interesting new sport called

115
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 5: chess boxing.

116
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: It's just what it sounds like. They alternate rounds of

117
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: playing chess and boxing. You can win by either knocking

118
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: out your opponent or checkmate, whichever happens first.

119
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 6: Fighters from eighteen countries are here trying to knock each

120
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 6: other's heads off.

121
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: There's the bell.

122
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 6: But wait now, the fighters strip off their gloves and

123
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 6: sit down.

124
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: It's chess time.

125
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 6: Competitors have three minutes to vanquish their enemy on the board.

126
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 6: If they don't, it's back to the slugfest for three

127
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 6: more minutes. It's gloves on, gloves off until checkmate, knockout,

128
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 6: or judge's decision.

129
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 7: I had the body of a chess player. I was

130
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 7: just like a scrunny kid, you know.

131
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 6: Meet William Gambitman Graef, a New York state chess champ.

132
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 6: He's been playing competitive chess since the age of five. Yeah,

133
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 6: we saw his take no prisoner's approach. Howd I get

134
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 6: in this horrible position? When he demolished four of us

135
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 6: at once just for fun?

136
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: Check me, check me?

137
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 6: Graefe told us he added thirty pounds of muscle to

138
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 6: become a chess boxer. He's still only one hundred and

139
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 6: sixty pounds.

140
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: Are you even scared in any way?

141
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 7: I'd be a little crazy not to be terrified.

142
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 6: But why are you willingly deciding to step into a

143
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 6: ring where you can at your head beaten in.

144
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, you sound like my mother.

145
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 7: One of the things is cleart of the opportunity to

146
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 7: tell my story here of like a kid who played

147
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 7: chess growing up throughout school and was to an extent

148
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 7: ridiculed and ostracized.

149
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: For being a scrunny chess player. Exactly.

150
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 7: Okay, you know, I've been doing chess for a very

151
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 7: long time. What better time to sort of try something

152
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 7: new and challenge myself.

153
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: Doing chess. Okay, you know you hear these stories. I

154
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: was picked on and humiliated for playing chess. No, you weren't.

155
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: In your mind, it felt like it. Your perception was

156
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: that you were being humiliated, but actually you were mostly

157
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: just being ignored. And when someone when it came time

158
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: to pick teams three on three in the neighborhood, and

159
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: there were two left, and somebody said I'll take chest boy,

160
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: that's it. But in your mind it felt like they

161
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: were just holding you down and pulling at your ear

162
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: and pouring acid on you. That's not true. It's just

163
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: what we convince ourselves. Ridiculous sports ideas that actually exist.

164
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: Fireball soccer true story, a game in which players use

165
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: balls made from coconuts, but a week before the match,

166
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: the coconut balls are immersed in gasoline to make them

167
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: easy to ignite for the game, and they are set

168
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: on fire, and you play soccer with flaming coconuts as

169
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: the ball. And as if that wasn't tough enough, you

170
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: don't wear any shoes. Look, we're a really poor country.

171
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: We don't have a lot going for us. We've kept

172
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: TV out as long as we can. We've got to

173
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: have some sporting for the people. We don't have the

174
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: money for anything nice. We can't afford a baseball and

175
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 1: a baseball bat. We could do a rock and a

176
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: stick like the other countries. No, we're gonna have our

177
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: own thing. It's gonna be soccer related. We can't afford

178
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: the ball. I remember we had the one ball, but then

179
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: we didn't have a pump for it, so the ball

180
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: went flat and everybody was aggravated. But we'll do coconuts

181
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: because the coconut makes for a real nice ball. I mean,

182
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: just it's round if nothing else is round. Yeah, kicking

183
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: coconuts with our bare feet because we don't have any

184
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: shoes on a field that isn't marked with two sticks

185
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: at the end for a goal. I just I don't know,

186
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: it just feels like it's missing something. Well, we got

187
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: a little extra gasoline left over. What if we set

188
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: them on fire and we put the ball out on

189
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: the field and it's it's on fire. Okay, Now, now

190
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: you've got something to work with. Then there Hakapay a

191
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: perilous race originated in Chile's Eastern Ireland. Young people under

192
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: the ages of twenty raced down a volcano's edge on

193
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: a sled made of two banana tree trunks, while only

194
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: wearing a loin cloth. When they koreene down the steep hill,

195
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: Participants frequently reached speeds of about fifty miles an hour,

196
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: which can occasionally, you won't believe this cause serious injury.

197
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: The sledter who makes it the farthest from the launch

198
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: point is declared the winner. Apparently, Hakapey was once used

199
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: to test young people's maturity and fortitude in preparation for adulthood.

200
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: Do you think little is ready from manhood? Maybe get

201
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: him married, be a father, what do you think? Well,

202
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's see how you do in Hakapey.

203
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: That'll tell us whether you're ready. That'll tell us whether

204
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: you're ready for something as serious as being an adult.

205
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: Remember when COVID was going on and we had nothing

206
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: to watch in the sports world, and ESPN was just

207
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: grasping for straws, trying to find anything that viewers would

208
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: be willing to watch.

209
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 8: We have a full day of action right here on

210
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,360

Speaker 8: Drinko with the sinko as we go back to back.

217
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 8: First it's Beer Mile Run contestants chugging four beers throughout

218
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 8: a one mile race.

219
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,520

228
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: Several years ago, our show sponsor, Specs Liquors, Wine, Spirits

229
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: and Finer Foods, dedicated a month at their store to

230
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: raising money for Camp Hope, and now several years into this,

231
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: for the month of October again Camp Hope was was

232
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: the cause of choice. I don't like the term charity.

233
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: It's not a charity. These men have earned it, but

234
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: it is a charitable donation from a legal perspective. And

235
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: for the month of October the hall was one hundred

236
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: and forty seven three eight dollars, So thank you very much.

237
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: Did you see that AOC bought her first car with

238
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: all this money she's made?

239
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 5: She was It has a rear wiper, Michael Berry's.

240
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: You put it on your sense of humor and your

241
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: sense of decorum. You either love or hate to watch

242
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: the drunk sports fan and the stupid stuff they say

243
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: and do. Their's site upon site upon site. They're highlight

244
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: reels for hours of drunk sports fans doing something stupid.

245
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: Either because they're really excited their team's playing well, or

246
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: they're really angry their team is playing poorly. There is

247
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: a scene in the new movie Love You bum which

248
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: will come out on the twenty fifth, so I am

249
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: excited to be a part of that. There is the

250
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: scene where during the early days in the early seventies,

251
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: the oilers are not good. They would be in a

252
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: few years, but they're not good that year, and they've

253
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: lost several games in a row, and it's Monday night

254
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: football and they pan in on a guy and he

255
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: gives him the rod, shoots the finger and Don Meredith.

256
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: There's a pause because nobody knows what to do, and

257
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: there's no delay yet. So this is going out over

258
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: national television, and Don Meredith very casually says, yep, his

259
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: team's number one, as only Don Meredith could do well.

260
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: Here is an unhinged sports fan that has a little

261
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: different ending. This guy's got to be liquored up when

262
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: this happens. I mean, he's got to be so liquored up.

263
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if he remembers doing it. The vice

264
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: chairman of Corpus Christie's Planning Commission, Brian Mandel, has resigned

265
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: from the planning commission. Why you asked, well, he's sent

266
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: threatening text messages to the head football coach at the

267
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: University of Louisville, as well as the head football coach

268
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: which his family, as well as the quarterback because the

269
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 1: team lost on November eighth to Color. Apparently in a

270
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: drunken stupor of anger, he started firing off messages that

271
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: rose to the level of serious crime. He now faces

272
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: six counts of second degree terroristic threat and one count

273
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: of criminal attempt theft by extortion over ten thousand dollars.

274
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: He also he also insulted their offensive coordinator and the

275
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: families of the coaches not insulted threatened them. He was expedited.

276
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: He was expedited. He was extradited in an expedited fashion.

277
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: He was extradited from Corpus Christi, Texas to Louisville, Kentucky

278
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: to face charges. How does that work yet? How do

279
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: you tell your wife your wife's going Oh no, no,

280
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: tell me you did not tell me? You did not?

281
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: I did. I told you you were getting way into

282
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: way too into some It's a sport, Brian, It's a sport.

Speaker 3: In Louisville and we're hearing from the coach about the

285
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 3: alleged threats made to him and his family after an

286
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,959
Speaker 3: overtime loss here in Louisville. University of Louisville had football

287
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: coach Jeff Brohm says those recent threats against him and

288
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 3: his family crossed the line. The threats coming from a

289
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: Texas businessman who posted his bond of one hundred thousand

290
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 3: dollars in Louisville last.

291
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: Week and is free tonight.

292
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 3: He's also been indicted for attempting to extort the quarterback

293
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: Miller Moss. Brom says his focus remains on football, leaving

294
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 3: the legal process to authorities.

295
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,359

00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 9: I'm fine with when it's directed to my family and

300
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 9: wife and kids. That's that's that's going over the line.

301
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 9: But you know what, we move on and hey, people

302
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 9: aren't happy with losses. I'm not as well.

303
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 3: The suspect right here, Brian Mendel, spent a day in

304
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: jail and posted this bun here in Louisville in February,

305
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 3: he had been extradited to our city from Texas.

306
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: A judge has barred.

307
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: Him from contacting anyone involved in this case while it proceeds.

308

312
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 5: You'll be like, yeah, last night, I guess we just

313
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 5: didn't score enough last night. I guess we just didn't

314
00:20:59,000 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 5: play enough defense.

315
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: We the Redskins don't need you.

316
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 5: Okay, that's like me watching Gray's Anatomy in Scrubs.

317
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Actually, Whitney Cummings. Not all men like

318
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: sports oddly enough, but they still get thirsty. As Mitch

319
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: Hedberg notes, you know, people.

320
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 10: Think I'm into sports just because I'm a man. I'm

321
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 10: not into sports. I mean, I like gatorade.

322
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: That's about sparser go.

323
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 10: By the way, you don't have to be sweating and

324
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 10: holding a basketball to enjoy a gatorade.

325
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: You could just be a thirsty dude.

326
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 10: Gata Rade forgets about this demographic.

327
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm thirsty for absolutely.

328
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 10: No reason other than the fact that liquid has not

329
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 10: touched my list.

330
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: For some time.

331
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 10: Can I have a Gatorade too? Or is that lightning

332
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 10: boat me? No, Yeah, I'm not into sports. If I

333
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 10: had athletes my first reaction movie, that's not my foot.

334
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to have my face on the cover

335
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: of a Wheati's box.

336
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 10: I want to have my face on the cover of

337
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 10: a Rice Chrismi's box.

338
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: Snap, crackle, Mitch and Pop. Hey, how did he do that? Hey? Hollywood,

339
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: it's all who you know and I know crackle. So

340
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: our question to you, what is the most ridiculous, absurd, insane,

341
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: potentially criminal, terribly embarrassing thing you've ever done as a

342
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: sports fan due to your team winning or losing. I

343
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: grew up across the street from a fellow that was

344
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: like a big brother to me. His name's Keith mccommeyck

345
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: and Keith had two little bitty girls at the time,

346
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: Tristan and Miranda. And he's so desperately wanted a boy.

347
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: I think he ended up being a great girl dad,

348
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: and he's a great guy, but he's so desperately wanted

349
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: a boy. And then here's these two young men across

350
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: the street, and he would come over. We'd play football together.

351
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: We'd played basketball. He was a phenomenal, I really fantastic

352
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: basketball player. He's from Johnson's Buyu, Louisiana and he still

353
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: played in basketball League's there with him there, and we

354
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: would go with him play basketball. We'd drive back and

355
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: forth and he would always buy us fast food on

356
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: the way and that was a treat. We didn't eat

357
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: fast food in our household, so it was a treat

358
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: to get to eat fast food like a Big Mac

359
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: or whatever on the way there and back. And Keith

360
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: was the biggest Cowboys fan you have ever met. You

361
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: would get very, very angry at the Cowboys, and he

362
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: would say that the prevent defense, which was Tom Landry's

363
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, Ben, but don't break you know, we've got

364
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: a lead, would prevent victories. And one time he stood

365
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: up and threw I was bottle of what it was

366
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: and smashed the television screen. And that was when his

367
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: wife Ronda said enough and read the Riot Act. But

368
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: he would get so mad he'd punch the wall. I've

369
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: never seen anybody get as intense on any teams as

370
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: he did. And that was back when the Cowboys were good.

371
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: Mind you anyway, what's the craziest thing you did, either

372
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: because you were happy or because you were furious over

373
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: your team seven one three nine nine nine one thousand,

374
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: seven one three nine nine nine one thousand.

375
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 11: And what I see all over the place is people

376
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 11: who care about looking good while doing evil.

377
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: The Michael Verry, Hugh Oh, the crazy drunk fan. They're

378
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: funny as loans. They're not near you and within reason,

379
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: but some of them can make the experience quite unpleasant.

380
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: Mart you know the Michael Berry Show. What is your experience?

381
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 11: I was watching the Oilers lose to the Buffalo in

382
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 11: that infamous game.

383
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 12: Oh, if you can call it that.

384
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever you did, you say? You know, Mark, I

385
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 1: have already given you a great deal more latitude because

386
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: of the the extent of disappointment and hurt and anguish

387
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: as a result of that of falling apart. So I'm

388
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: going to judge you much less harshly than I normally would.

389
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 11: I'm actually still kind of feeling it, But I really

390
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 11: it wasn't wasn't so so bad. I just went to

391
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 11: bed slabbered on my pillow. But the next morning I

392
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 11: got up and I quit drinking for twelve years.

393
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: Oh well, that's not necessarily such a bad thing.

394
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 11: No, it was probably a high time it happened. But

395
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 11: when the Texans came to town, I started drinking again.

396
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: You said, you know what, I got to have some

397
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: way to some way to deal with this. Where were

398
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: you sitting at that game? Oh no, no, no, that was

399
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: that was in Buffalo, Yeah it was. I remember the

400
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 1: fans were climbing back in. Not only fans, people were

401
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: climbing back into the stadium once it started getting close.

402
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 12: Yeah.

403
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 11: So I wasn't actually there. I was just sitting on

404
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 11: the couch slamming beers.

405
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: You know what, what was your beer of choice?

406
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 12: Then?

407
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 8: Oh?

408
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 11: Man, I thinks I want to say, okay, and now

409
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 11: sixteen out or something?

410
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: Shiner? Okay? Was it Haywood Jefferies that that reaches out

411
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: and doesn't quite get get the ball over the well?

412
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 11: I remember Ron Bby just hating Ron bb and that

413
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 11: big giant helmet that he had. He kind of looked

414
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 11: like that guy on like a yeah no, it looked

415
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 11: like a yeah.

416
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: Well what a man. Interesting times I have. I had

417
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: a classmate in college. We were flying somewhere or flying back,

418
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: and we stopped at my buddy's place and watched that

419
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: until it was the game was practically over, or so

420
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: we thought, because there was no way. Of course, that's

421
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: probably what South Carolina fans were thinking this weekend with

422
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. And you know, somebody made the

423
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: point online. I'm sure a few did. But I saw

424
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: it that seemingly that it was thirty to three at

425
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: halftime at Kyle Field and it didn't look like a

426
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: single Aggie fan had left. Man, you can't, you can't.

427
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: You can't manufacture that level of fan loyalty. They were

428
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: going to stay there and support their team till the

429
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: very end, no matter what. They might be getting routed

430
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: and they were, but they but the fans were not

431
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: going to leave them. And man, it was you started

432
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: seeing the crowd once they started scoring. You started seeing

433
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: the crowd get more and more into it. And that

434
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: place is special when they're fired up, that place is special.

435
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: What do you do for a living, bart Oh?

436
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 11: I work in refineries and new chemical plants and repair

437
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 11: ships and all that kind of stuff. I'm actually on

438
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 11: my way to finally right now.

439
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: What do you actually do?

440
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 5: How?

441
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 11: We repair them with epoxyes and carbon fibers. We fixed

442
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 11: pipes and coat the inside of vessels that type thing.

443
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: How did you develop that skill? I?

444
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, but I was a commercial diver back in the

445
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 11: eighties and we started using composites underwater, and I just

446
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 11: kind of fell into the career of doing repairs. We've

447
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 11: known that for forty years.

448
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: You used to play stas with a guy named Jim Donnelly

449
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: who was a commercial diver, and I had so many

450
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: questions from I thought that was just fascinating to imagine

451
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: going under the water to do these things like how

452
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: you get an epoxy, how you open an epoxy into

453
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 1: the open water, and how you get it to adhere

454
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: is just amazing to me. If it was left to

455
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: me how things like that work, it would never it

456
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: would never happen. In fact, tell you a funny story.

457
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: I was talking to Michael Robinson about your case yesterday

458
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: and Ramon we were talking about hot water heaters and

459
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: he was saying what he suggested he do, and he

460
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: has a fifty gallon water heater and he said, you

461
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: ought to just put another fifty gallon in there, and

462
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: I said, all right, I'm not afraid of asking a

463
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: dumb question, because that's how you learn. How does the

464
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: system switch. When you burn through that first fifty gallons,

465
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: how does the system switch over to the next fifty gallons?

466
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: And he went through the whole deal of how the

467
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: thing heats up and when it does this, and when

468
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: it does this, And at the end of it, I said,

469
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: do you realize if society had been people like me

470
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: exclusively from the beginning of time, we wouldn't have hot water.

471
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: I think about this all the time. There are people

472
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: who could not do a talk, could not stand up

473
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: and give a speech, couldn't do a number of things

474
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: that we take for granted, maybe can't talk to a girl,

475
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: but they could figure out one piece in the building

476
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: blocks of how we get to where we are today.

477
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: And when it comes to structural architectural engineering, physics, chemistry.

478
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the study of those things in school, but

479
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: I have no aptitude and no common sense with regard

480
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: to any of that stuff. It's just crazy to me

481
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: that people can figure things like that out. I admire that, Dan.

482
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: What's your story, sir?

483
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 12: Hey Michael, So this was January nineteen eighty one, and

484
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 12: I'll have to say we were not in a drunken stupor,

485
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 12: but some friends of mine from high school. We had

486
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 12: gone to participate in that close up program. You remember

487
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 12: what that was?

488
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: Tell me more, it sounds a vague.

489
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 12: High school kids could miss school for a while. You

490
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 12: go to Washington, d C. You get to visit government officials,

491
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 12: actual commit Ron Paul there.

492
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: Anyway, but that.

493
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 12: Same weekend, the Oilers were playing a pretty important game.

494
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 12: I think it might have been against Washington. I think

495
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 12: it was that game where they came back and everybody

496
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 12: met him. Anyway, we were up in our hotel room

497
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 12: watching the game, and when they won, we just burst

498
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 12: out into the hall started banging on everyone's doors. They won,

499
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 12: they won, and yep, we got in a bit of

500
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 12: trouble for that.

501
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: Well, you know that there is sports give us such

502
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: an outlet for emotion. And I think I have told

503
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: the story before, so forgive me if you've heard it

504
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: a few times. When there used to be a guy

505
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: in town who had seats to the Rockets about six

506
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 1: or seven rows up mid court, close enough to the

507
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: court that when he stood up with this loud, booming

508
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: voice and insulted the other players, the players could hear it,

509
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: and he would say the most vile things. And I

510
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: remember I had my young son there and I said

511
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: to him one day, I said, you know what you're

512
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: doing at those games? What is going on, dude that

513
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: because there's kids here in that and those people, one

514
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: of those players is going to come up there mad

515
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: Max style one day and punch you out. And he said,

516
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, I went to the doctor. I was in

517
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: therapy and I had all this rage and all this anger,

518
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: and the doctor said, why don't you take it out

519
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: on sports? So I bought the best tickets I could

520
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: afford to see the Rockets, and I go, and that

521
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: is my outlet. I just go and I just scream

522
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: and hawk. I said, you insult the players on the

523
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: most personal level, somebody in the stands or on the

524
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: on the court's going to hurt you
