Sure.
This is wild. My ex-wife comes running up to me. Baby, baby. I was like, what? She said, MJ's at the cabana. I was like, yo, Pat, I got to go. So I get out, dry off. I run upstairs. I grab the dominoes. And before I leave, I see a camera sitting on the table. And I said, babe, grab the camera. I got to take a picture. So she grabbed the camera. This is my first time meeting MJ.
And I'm hanging with him. So we get to the cabana. It's Ahmad Rashad, MJ, and then MJ brought somebody to play dominoes with us, right? A ringer? Yes. And so we're there. Ahmad's not playing. Ahmad's just sitting there with his legs crossed, just looking at us. We're talking shit and having fun. And I'm just timid. I'm not talking shit. I'm just enamored with MJ. And he's beating me.
I rarely lose in dominoes. And he's beating me, but I don't give a fuck that he's beating me. I'm like, he's on the back of my dominoes like this.
You want to look at the list of people who have lost to Michael Jordan?
What a moment. Even better, a list of people who've beaten Michael Jordan. So... I'm playing with him and he's talking shit. And my wife looks at me and says, yo, you just going to let him keep talking shit to you like that? And I was like, shit. But he says something that gets me razzled, razzled. I was like, fuck this. I'm going to stop playing timid. I get domino. We're playing to 150.
Jordan has 125. His buddy has 75. I have 45. And I get the domino and I look at him and I was like, yo, MJ, I said, this is going to be the hardest 25 points you ever had to score in your life. Just know that.
Now I'm out of my shell. Now I'm like, yo, fuck this. I ain't going to have this motherfucker whoop my ass. I played domino. Now I'm talking shit. I'm talking cash shit to this motherfucker. And he's giving it back. You send your wife to get money out of the bag. A modest libel. I'm like, yo, baby, go get the money. Go get the money. I'm feeling it. Money's on. My mom is laughing.
Fucking MJ is talking shit. And then we're sitting there and boom, I say some shit and I win. Right? He's like, run it back. I was like, okay, motherfucker, let's go. So now we're running it back. Now I'm talking shit from the beginning. Now I'm in my element and I'm boom, boom, boom, talking shit about him, his mama, his daddy, his kids, all this shit.
And then I'm whipping his ass and I'm whipping this motherfucker's ass. And then I was like, yo, I wish me and my wife could make babies right now because we would go upstairs and make a baby right now and we would name him or her MJ. Just so when he or she got older, she could say, Daddy, why did you name me MJ? And I could relive this moment right now. Bam! Damn it, motherfucker! Won the game.
His security comes out of the cabana. There's a DJ on the pool. The DJ scratches the record, stops the music. The fucking hotel security comes out. The people that are swimming in it. Because it's the opening. It's the grand opening of this huge fucking hotel in the Bahamas. Everybody stops and turns towards us. Don't worry. I just whipped Michael Jordan's ass in dominoes. He all right, though.
We good. Good, MJ?
Oh, wow. And I try to have my lady take pictures of it. The motherfucker refuses to take pictures with me. Now, I have to find these pictures because I have pictures of this motherfucker just looking.
Just like this. And me sitting there smiling. But he refused to take pictures with me. And then we're on this island for the next three days for the celebration of the opening of this hotel. So there are dinners. There's parties. There's everything that we're going to. There's golf. We're taking group pictures. Every group picture we take, he kicks me out of. Oh! He's so mad at you.
If there's any human that hates losing, I happily would leave the picture just so I could share the story as to why MJ is asking me to get out of the photo. Yeah, it's wonderful. It's the dream. I called radio stations. I talked about this on the news. I talked about it on talk shows. I was surprised you weren't in Last Dance telling this story.
I talk about all this other shit because nobody can really, only a few people. Hold on, is it Lionel? Nope, it's not Lionel. Only a few people can say they beat Jordan one on one or whatever the fuck it is. I can say that. And we laugh about it to this day.
MJ, I love you, man. And I know people who listen are going to tell you this story. I didn't bring this shit up. They brought it up. But I'm going to talk about it every chance I get.
She's an EGOT. Is she an EGOT? She is an EGOT. Oh, you're right. She deserves to be. A lot of people say she has an EGOT. I was like, no, she doesn't have an EGOT. She is an EGOT. There's a difference. Had you known her before this movie? I had known her before. We lived near each other. Hold on. I must not lie.
we've always had an admiration for one another and ABC together, you know, their show and my show. So I just always had love for her and she always had love for me. And I get a call, Hey, Viola wants you as her husband, not come read this, come do this. I had a meeting with the director and the director was like, I've never cast a movie like this before.
I've never had someone tell me that this is who they want. This is my husband. Yeah. I was like, wow.
