00:00What's up gang, I just wanted to pop by because the news is out there and I'm getting a lot of texts and calls.
00:07Love you guys, thank you guys all for reaching out and checking in.
00:11I just wanted to kind of address what happened last night, so you hear it from my mouth.
00:17I don't know what's kind of, I know there's a few articles that came out and news is floating around,
00:23but long of the gist of it, and I addressed the whole thing and talk way more in detail on tomorrow's
00:28Spit and Chicklets podcast. It just so happens this happened last night, today was a recording day,
00:33and to be quite frank it was kind of nice to hop on with the boys and just have some laughs
00:38and kind of forget about it for four hours. So I go to dinner at this place called Houston's,
00:44I go there like three, four times a week. The staff's incredible, the food's incredible,
00:48and just like good people, and I love going there.
00:51And the bar where I normally sit was packed, I sat in the dining area,
00:56and at one point there was a bit of a ruckus going on in the bar.
01:01It was a bunch of drunk golfers, things obviously continued to escalate,
01:06they asked one guy to leave, and then one guy kept getting in the manager's face,
01:11put his hands on him, and that went on for about probably 30, 45 seconds,
01:17and you could tell he was a little shocked and surprised and stunned.
01:21It's a family restaurant, I don't think there was anybody in there
01:24who could go maybe help him out, so I went over, I just grabbed the guy's arm that was on him,
01:30I said, sir, if you continue to harass and assault the staff, we're going to have problems,
01:36and then they just started chucking, so it escalated extremely quickly.
01:41I think it was seven guys that I fought with throughout the course of the restaurant,
01:46all the way into the parking lot, over to CVS, got taken down a couple of times,
01:51got bootfucked in the head three times by the CVS.
01:55Luckily he didn't get knocked out.
01:57Did go to the hospital, so that's probably what everybody's reading about.
02:00Just bad dudes, way too drunk, and I don't know what else they had in their system,
02:06but yeah, I'm very, very angry about these guys,
02:13and kind of want their names out there, and want them to pay the piper.
02:18Just unacceptable behavior at a family restaurant just because they couldn't grab another cocktail
02:23and didn't want to hear no for an answer, and like I said, at that point,
02:28with the guy all over the manager, I just figured I'd had to go over,
02:33and yeah, so took some, gave more.
02:37I just want to thank not only the staff for having to put up with that,
02:41but the police who were very quick to get on the scene who arrested six of the seven guys,
02:46so that's huge, and then the police department paramedics came over,
02:52helped me out, at least get me checked out, and then the people at the hospital.
02:56So all's good, guys. It sucked.
02:58I got bootfucked in the face a couple times, but could have been a lot worse.
03:03Look forward for you guys to listen to the new pod with Merrick and Bruce Boudreaux.
03:08Let's get back to business.
03:10I'll see you guys on Wednesday at TNT, and also we got a Friday one for Black Friday,
03:15so yeah, hockey community, love you guys, and we'll see you soon, motherfuckers!
