what's up guys it's 5 a.m we're in La we're going to Houston woke up at 3am absolutely kind of dying but nothing is Celsius can't fix we're going to hang out with Mattress Mack and if you don't know who Mattress Mack is he is this legendary Sports buyer when I say legendary sports but I mean legendary like the guys but millions of dollars on teams like the Astros like TCU he had he won like the largest sports betting payout in American history like the guy is a legend I'm hyped I'm so hyped all of my friends back at school they love mattress smack [Music] um let's go see mattress Mac [Music] yes and they said that everything was bigger in Texas I didn't know they meant this big this is the biggest Furniture Store I've ever seen in my life but we are here the mattress Mac hassle and we're about to go meet Masterson [Music] quickly after walking to Gallery Furniture I knew it was a furniture store unlike anything I've ever seen in my life I'm talking about tons of patriotic stuff there was a gem there was a cafeteria it was absolutely huge and it definitely wasn't your average Rooms To Go or Ashley's Furniture mattress Matt gives back it's one of the characteristics that defines them everyone we talked about that was probably one of the first things they would often mention even when we were there he was literally packing a truck to send down a Mississippi that had just went through a natural disaster Mississippi so we're getting all nice for them to see everything over there water uh full uh cleaning supplies internet can use to help them out so that's when they're like recurring things I've heard about I'm like in our Uber ride from the airport I was talking to my Uber driver I was like so what do you think of Master snack he was like the guy does so much for the community like he's so so much for Houston everyone like I you know I'm 20 years old I think a lot of people my age we know mattress smack because of these crazy sports bags like that's super badass that's super cool but to see him like so invested and yes the community that's all he does he's for the people I'm self-interested in preservation I'm self-interested in uh making the world a better place I'm self-interested in making Houston the safest County in Texas not the deadliest I'm self-interested in helping these kids to go into these high schools these trade schools learn a skilled trait that by the way can't be offshore to China and there was a Chinese furniture guy in here today and I said some unkind things to him because you know I I you're an America first guy we're gonna take care of our own exactly that and another thing about Mac is he's persistent the guy has been knocked down and gotten back up every single time literally years ago someone even burned down his warehouse and the man was selling furniture the next day the building burned down that night we were basically out of business we opened that building the next morning seven o'clock started selling Furniture customer started coming in buying just to support us we had no inventory but that Friday somebody got us a warehouse about three o'clock in the afternoon the trucks got here we put them in there we sold the furniture and we delivered that day we delivered 250 000 off with Furniture even though the business was basically out of business the night before and I delivered a commencement of speech to a a Christian High School that night they called me said you got to cancel aren't you I said canceling part of my vocabulary I'll be all of that tough times Never Last tough people do he has like these cool quotes like all around like the the store here so it's like if you can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips which I think honestly is a testament to all the work that he does philanthropically so all of you guys this stuff has been in America I would say about 85 Mac is huge on you know keeping everything in the states uh to provide a jobs for is they even had a trade school and we actually had a little bit of time to interview with the director of that trade tool majority of our students are pretty much drop out recovery kits okay wow and so how does that um relationship include like mac and the work that he's doing um well initially because he gave us the space um and it he really he started it because he wants to break the poverty cycle yeah and the only way to do that is for students to get an education yeah and for students to get a job or skill yeah you see yourself a reflection of yourself um and is which will be I'm just amazed about how much happens in this place I think it's just a furniture store right come here there's just way more so much going on while this place was pretty incredible I think it's time that we go to the game [Music] so guys we just walked through those doors literally within 20 seconds absolutely mom there's a lot coming in yeah guys as soon as we walked into Minute Maid Park I mean literally seconds into Walking In a Minute Maid Park Mattress Mack was getting absolutely sworn we couldn't walk an inch without someone asking him for a selfie an autograph it was absolutely insane and guys I've been around like President Trump I've been around some pretty big names and I've never ever seen anything like what I saw right there see the fit lab on it until they whip my coffee money clip I toasted I heard it's big bags on Big Bears this is really insane like every step that this man takes like instantly stop for a pitcher the entire city of Houston loves them and he made a really good point a couple seconds ago he said if you think that everyone the mainstream people hate conservatives come to a Houston action game where they literally love mattress Mac and there's a good reason for that
