  • 0:18 - 0:22
    At the beginning of the video, when you guys are having a words with one another, there
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    was something about spit-shining.
  • 0:24 - 0:28
    -I was talking about the clothes I was gonna wear to my friend Bob, who was my freakin'
  • 0:28 - 0:33
    passenger friend on the bus. We were going to Frisco to get some weed for our Arthritis
  • 0:33 - 0:39
    and pain and I was talking about, I'm gonna wear a power-blue-fuckin' suit and a white
  • 0:39 - 0:45
    shirt and a red tie. He comes by and he like, "What you talkin' about, Stacey Adams spit-shining
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    brother-shiners. What you talkin' about?"
  • 0:47 - 0:52
    (unintelligible arguing)
  • 0:52 - 0:57
    I ain't prejudice. What, you think I'm prejudice?
  • 0:57 - 1:01
    "Man, you starting to piss me off. Get up in the front of the bus or I'll kick your
  • 1:01 - 1:02
    ass." I says, "You know what? It's better to be pissed off than ..."
  • 1:02 - 1:02
    -Get the fuck out of my face right now.
  • 1:03 - 1:04
    -'Cause, I'm pissed off.
  • 1:04 - 1:04
    -(indistinct) You ain't scared...
  • 1:04 - 1:08
    -I'm 67 years old...you ain't scared of me. You ain't scared of me.
  • 1:08 - 1:12
    -I'll put my foot up.
  • 1:12 - 1:19
    -No, you won't. No, you won't.
  • 1:21 - 1:28
    -(indistinct) I'll wupp your ass.
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    -And you actually went to the front of the bus.
  • 1:32 - 1:38
    -Then I walked away. Saw me truckin'. Truckin' means walkin'. Walked up to my seat and sat
  • 1:38 - 1:43
    by Bob and I was shaking, I was so nervous and mad. "I'll beat your ass." And I told
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    him, "No, you won't." You're gonna get hurt today.
  • 1:45 - 1:46
    -What?
  • 1:49 - 1:53
    -Nuh-uh. Stop it. Oh!
  • 1:53 - 2:00
    -I told you not to fuck with me! (indistinct) He fucking hit me! He fucking hit me first!
  • 2:15 - 2:21
    And his girlfriend was an accomplice, the one that stole my bag and my money. The little
  • 2:21 - 2:25
    black girl that videotaped it apparently, she showed herself stealing the bag. She put
  • 2:25 - 2:29
    the fucking camera right on the bag and she walked away with my wallet and my keys.
  • 2:29 - 2:30
    -She did? You got ripped off?
  • 2:30 - 2:33
    -She got the fucking thing on the camera.
  • 2:33 - 2:40
    -I got it on video.
  • 2:47 - 2:50
    (indistinct)
  • 2:50 - 2:54
    -No.
  • 2:54 - 2:55
    -The girl, his fiancee?
  • 2:55 - 2:56
    -Yeah.
  • 2:56 - 3:00
    -I talked to her and she's agreed to be on my radio show on Monday and you're saying
  • 3:00 - 3:01
    she has your stuff?
  • 3:01 - 3:02
    -I'll go out with you.
  • 3:02 - 3:06
    -So here's the thing. His fiancee's name is Tammy and--
  • 3:06 - 3:11
    -She stole my bag. Ask her about that. Ask her why she didn't return it right away. They
  • 3:11 - 3:13
    got it back when they found her.
  • 3:13 - 3:14
    -Really?
  • 3:18 - 3:23
    he gave me my bag back with all the only thing missing was my money.
  • 3:23 - 3:25
    -So, he's coming on the show on Monday.
  • 3:25 - 3:26
    -The black guy?
  • 3:26 - 3:28
    -Yeah, he said that he would kick your ass.
  • 3:28 - 3:28
    -What?
  • 3:29 - 3:35
    -You tell that motherfucker I'll give him seven chances and I'll wait another 20 years
  • 3:35 - 3:38
    and still whip his ass when I'm 103.
  • 3:38 - 3:39
    -And you're 67, right?
  • 3:39 - 3:40
    -That's right.
  • 3:40 - 3:47
    Want me to do a boxing match on the fucking live TV? I'll kick his ass in 32 seconds.
  • 3:49 - 3:53
    -That's exactly what I wanted to do. That's what I wanted to do. Have you heard of Strike
  • 3:53 - 3:54
    Force?
  • 3:54 - 3:55
    -Yeah.
  • 3:55 - 3:55
    -I know those guys.
  • 3:55 - 4:01
    -I'm fucking Vietnam his ass. I'll kick in the head. Seven feet in the air.
  • 4:01 - 4:03
    -All right, so we can either box or if you want to do MMA.
  • 4:03 - 4:06
    -I'll beat his ass so motherfucking bad.
  • 4:06 - 4:10
    -Okay, so I know the guys that put on Strike Force and I know the people at Showtime.
  • 4:10 - 4:11
    -I'll do it.
  • 4:12 - 4:12
    -When I come back.
  • 4:12 - 4:15
    -And I think--
  • 4:15 - 4:17
    -I'll beat his ass again on live TV.
  • 4:17 - 4:18
    -By then, I think the YouTube views--
  • 4:18 - 4:19
    -What's the price of money?
  • 4:19 - 4:21
    -Well, that's what we could work on.
  • 4:21 - 4:26
    -What's the prize money? I'm a prize fighter. I'm a money fighter, man. You bet on me, you
  • 4:26 - 4:29
    come out seven you goin' to heaven. Talkin' about beating my ass.
  • 4:29 - 4:34
    -That's what he said. He said it on video after you fit him.
  • 4:34 - 4:39
    -I'll fuck you up.
  • 4:39 - 4:42
    -Just since we've been talking, people have been stopping, waving, taking pictures. How
  • 4:42 - 4:46
    many people have come up to you since a week ago? Since then.
  • 4:46 - 4:47
    -Thousands.
  • 4:47 - 4:47
    -Yeah?
  • 4:47 - 4:52
    -And a teacher came up to me this morning and he says, you know ten thousand kids watch
  • 4:52 - 4:57
    your video this morning on school tape TV. And everybody went into the auditorium and
  • 4:57 - 5:01
    they applauded me and they said they'd like me to come to the school and be an honorary
  • 5:01 - 5:03
    citizen at their school.
  • 5:03 - 5:08
    -And let's be clear here. You're not a racist guy. Here's your best friend right here.
  • 5:08 - 5:12
    -That's Scott, black man. And he'll beat your ass fucking with me. He's beat your white
  • 5:12 - 5:13
    ass fucking with me.
  • 5:13 - 5:14
    -I wouldn't fuck with you.
  • 5:14 - 5:18
    -Look at his teeth. Hey, Scotty! Scotty! Scotty! Look at me, Scotty. Look, smile. He got no
  • 5:18 - 5:25
    fucking--he don't like to fucking show his--I knock them teeth out when he try to fuck with
  • 5:25 - 5:29
    me and that's how we got to be friends. I'd beat his ass stealing my cocaine.
  • 5:29 - 5:29
    -Are you serious?
  • 5:29 - 5:33
    -That's how we met and we've been friends ever since. He's homeless, I let him sleep
  • 5:33 - 5:34
    on my floor.
  • 5:34 - 5:35
    -Oh, well that's a good man.
  • 5:35 - 5:39
    -Yeah, he's homeless. I bought him a bag of cigarettes and gave him five dollars and two
  • 5:39 - 5:43
    quarts of beer for it. I got a one-bedroom. I got a color TV and a bed and a bunch of
  • 5:43 - 5:44
    furniture and some money.
  • 5:44 - 5:45
    -Shoe-shine guy.
  • 5:45 - 5:45
    -Yeah.
  • 5:45 - 5:47
    -What's goin' on, buddy?
  • 5:47 - 5:49
    -So you saw -- Oh, I appreciate it. Thanks a lot, man.
  • 5:49 - 5:50
    -I'm listening to you right now.
  • 5:53 - 5:54
    -No, no.
  • 5:56 - 5:58
    -You never thought that he would use his...
  • 5:58 - 5:59
    But you pushed him and his mind went on a trip
  • 5:59 - 5:59
    -Oh, snap!
  • 5:59 - 6:00
    If I had to pick, I'd say he won and you got second place
  • 6:00 - 6:03
    -I think for dessert you got disaster.
  • 6:03 - 6:08
    -You'd never thought that you'd be dropped like you did
  • 6:08 - 6:10
    -Oh, my God!
  • 6:10 - 6:12
    -But he hit you so fuckin' hard, it ...
  • 6:12 - 6:12
    -Damn!
  • 6:15 - 6:15
    -Oh, that's awesome!
  • 6:15 - 6:17
    -'Cause you've thought you'd clown on a bus downtown but he knocked you down
  • 6:17 - 6:18
    Knocked you down
  • 6:18 - 6:24
    When Viet Nam Tom's Around
  • 6:24 - 6:31
    He'll knock you down when trying to clown he will knock you down
  • 6:44 - 6:51
    -I think I owe you this.
  • 6:52 - 6:57
    -When Viet Nam Tom's Around
  • 6:57 - 7:01
    Just shut your mouth
  • 7:01 - 7:08
    Shut your mouth and don't be a clown
  • 7:08 - 7:10
    -Yeah, it's your fault, you clown.
  • 7:10 - 7:16
    -She just died in the middle of August. I'm sorry to hear about that.
  • 7:16 - 7:19
    -I didn't get to see her alive.
  • 7:19 - 7:23
    -I'm sorry about that, man.
  • 7:23 - 7:28
    -My poor mama's died.
  • 7:28 - 7:32
    -Sorry about that.
  • 7:32 - 7:36
    -Like, a month from now, when he returns, by then, my guess is about 40 millions people
  • 7:36 - 7:40
    would've seen this bus incident. Michael, the guy that he stopped from hitting him and
  • 7:40 - 7:45
    he stood up for himself. Michael says he'll kick his ass, so I wanna set something up
  • 7:45 - 7:50
    through Strike Force and Showtime and maybe the world will end up seeing this. And I appreciate
  • 7:50 - 7:51
    it.
  • 7:58 - 8:03
    get your ass kicked, Michael on Strike Force. You will get your ass kicked worse than Muhammad
  • 8:03 - 8:07
    Ali and Frazier. You will get your ass whipped.
  • 8:07 - 8:09
    -So, you obviously saw the clip.
  • 8:09 - 8:09
    -Yeah.
  • 8:09 - 8:10
    -What did you think about it?
  • 8:10 - 8:17
    -Umm...I thought it was pretty nice to see, you know... a guy came up and you walked away
  • 8:19 - 8:21
    from the fight and, you're like, "I don't want to mess with you. Don't mess with me."
  • 8:21 - 8:22
    Went and sat down. He came up and...
  • 8:22 - 8:23
    -Hit me in the face.
  • 8:23 - 8:27
    -Hit you in the face and...
  • 8:27 - 8:30
    -When Viet Nam Tom's Around
  • 8:30 - 8:34
    He'll knock you down when trying to clown
  • 8:34 - 8:37
    He'll knock you down
  • 8:37 - 8:40
    When Viet Nam Tom's Around
  • 8:40 - 8:42
    Just shut your mouth
  • 8:42 - 8:46
    Ride the bus and don't be a clown
  • 8:46 - 8:49
