0:00.0 | Hey guys, I've been out for a while. I came out with one video and now I'm coming back. |
0:23.0 | I'm going to make some other videos and I came to this story that I got so many requests about it and from the family as well. |
0:36.0 | The story that's out there is not true. So I decided to say it. It might have been in my podcast but I think that it's important for me to put it out now. |
0:51.0 | It was in 1977. The year of the son of Sam. |
1:05.0 | In 1976, I was a made member. I had a small little left hour club on 18th Avenue and Michael de Bats' father left me this place. I talked about it once before. |
1:23.0 | One night I went there a little early. It was going to open up. I wanted to make sure everything was okay. My bartender came out and he told me, he said, Sam, there's a bunch of guys in there. |
1:39.0 | Four, five of them. I think they're bikers. Gang members. He wasn't sure. So I said, what did I want? What are they doing? |
1:50.0 | They said that they're taking over the joint. The joint is now theirs. So I went inside. They were sitting around drinking. |
2:03.0 | And this one big guy came over to me. I'll do it because his name was. And he said, you're the guy who runs this place. I said, yeah, I'm the guy who owns it. He said, no more now. We own it. I own it. |
2:28.0 | I'm not stupid. I looked around for five of them. He was pretty big himself. |
2:36.0 | So I said, okay, give him a drink. He barked back at me. No, you can't give me no drink. I'll give you a drink. I told you I own the joint. And he told the bartender to give him a drink. |
2:53.0 | So I said, okay, when you was open, I'll come down. I'll visit. I was trying to talk my way out of this to get out. Then I would come back. |
3:07.0 | I don't think he'll be happy about how I come back. But I wasn't looking to get into it with four, five guys at the same time. |
3:16.0 | My bartender was a bartender. Wasn't a tough guy. |
3:24.0 | So I said, okay, whatever you want. And I'm trying to wiggle my way out, but he won't let me go. |
3:31.0 | He gets in my way. And he's in my face. He keeps talking to me. |
3:41.0 | I just sit there for a while and I don't know exactly what to do. |
3:47.0 | Showing up, I said, fuck this guy. I got up and I started walking towards the door. And he followed me. |
3:54.0 | They all got up. I made it to the door and I walked out to the street. The name of the club was the bus stop. |
4:06.0 | The club was right in front of the club. There was a bus stop. |
4:13.0 | The curb was about seven inches higher than the street. It's a big drop. |
4:25.0 | He's still talking to me and I moved away and moved towards the street to go to my car. |
