00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>do you believe in leprechauns? And what you're about to

14
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 2>hear in just a moment is an amazing tale from

15
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 2>a man known as Michael O'Reilly. He's the proud author

16
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.400
<v Speaker 2>of a book called True Tales of a Golden Leprechaun,

17
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>and he joins us on the Doctor Sky Experience. And

18
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 2>we begin, of course by just throwing this out to

19
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>the audience. Here is what we believe a leprechaun might be.

20
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 3>The Tale of the leprechaun originated in Ireland during the

21
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.879
<v Speaker 3>Middle Ages. The leprechaun is a type of sprite or

22
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 3>supernatural entity in Irish folklore. These mythical tricksters are often

23
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:50.120
<v Speaker 3>associated with riches and gold. Some believe that leprechauns originated

24
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 3>from the Ac, a supernatural race in Irish mythology. The

25
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 3>ac were small and comparable to that of elves or fairies.

26
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 3>Legends state that leprechaan's spin time making and mending shoes

27
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 3>while watching over their pots of gold. According to Irish legend,

28
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 3>you'll know when a leprechaun is near if you hear

29
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.879
<v Speaker 3>the tapping of their cobbling hammer on shoes. It's said

30
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 3>that leprechauns like to hoard gold coins and hide them

31
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.960
<v Speaker 3>at the end of a rainbow. If captured by a human,

32
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 3>they are said to grant three wishes in exchange for

33
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 3>their freedom. In modern times, these mythical creatures are often

34
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 3>depicted as mischievous, little bearded men, but they didn't always

35
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.280
<v Speaker 3>look that way. Prior to the twenty first century, these

36
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 3>legendary creatures were often depicted in red garb. Leprechauns evolved

37
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 3>in medieval literature throughout time. Today they're often shown in

38
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.840
<v Speaker 3>green garb and tall hats, often with shamrocks.

39
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.879
<v Speaker 2>Michael, welcome to the Doctor Sky Experience. Thanks for joining us.

40
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you for having me Doctor Sky.

41
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 2>You know it's interesting. I want the audience to know this.

42
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 2>You and I met. I was walking around the place

43
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 2>called a mesa marketplace out there and Mason. For people

44
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 2>who don't know this, this is probably one of the

45
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.919
<v Speaker 2>largest outdoor indoor slash markets that we have in the

46
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 2>entire United States, where vendors of all different you know,

47
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 2>product lines and such are all there. And I happen

48
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 2>to be walking around there one day looking for specific

49
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 2>hats because I was an Army veteran and still am.

50
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:22.800
<v Speaker 2>And I know that you had this great selection. So

51
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>you and I get to talk, and I kind of

52
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>like stopped in my tracks and said, you know, there's

53
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 2>something very interesting about this man, Michael O'Reilly, So you

54
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>remember the moment, So thanks for bringing me into your life,

55
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:40.719
<v Speaker 2>and likewise, this is going to be an interesting conversation. Likewise, well,

56
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 2>let's start off with the book here. This is amazing.

57
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 2>You have so much in this book that it would

58
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 2>probably take three hours to do justice to this, but

59
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 2>we'll do the best we can. The book entitled True

60
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Tales of a Golden Leprechaun, subtitled Well you won't believe this,

61
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>but let's start off with your life. You're born in Connecticut.

62
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.319
<v Speaker 2>You spend a lot of time moving back to California,

63
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 2>particularly your love for southern and southern California in the

64
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.680
<v Speaker 2>San Diego area. But tell me your life in the

65
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:09.479
<v Speaker 2>early days. I mean, you have a lot of stories,

66
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 2>and let's concentrate on your early childhood and then let's

67
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 2>move on in transition to you being a star athlete

68
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 2>at a young age.

69
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, one of the first things. And I moved

70
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and had lived in down Oakland area in San Pablo

71
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>in California, and my younger days. I was there in

72
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 1>about five or six. My friend next door had her

73
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>son and he's going to go go to the swimming pool,

74
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the city swimming pool, and asked my mother if if

75
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I could go with him and my brother. So that

76
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.519
<v Speaker 1>was okay. So we did that, and before you know it,

77
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm in I'm in the pool there and I'm basically

78
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>drowning and some somebody seen me and came over and

79
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.199
<v Speaker 1>rescued me, or it wouldn't even be a story right

80
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>off the bat anyway, lived there in that area. Go ahead, No,

81
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

82
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>This is interesting, Michael, because the premise of this book

83
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 2>is Saved my lumper con and.

84
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.720
<v Speaker 1>So many Oh yeah, well that that's my first one.

85
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's my that's.

86
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>My about that.

87
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, matter of fact, I would have if I didn't

88
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 2>have someone come over there.

89
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>But happened at the pool that wasn't I didn't know

90
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>how to so I'm holding onto the edge, so I

91
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>uh finally was going to get out, and there was

92
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:34.839
<v Speaker 1>the steps weren't near me, so I just thought, I'll

93
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 1>just I was pretty athletics for that little guy like that.

94
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.639
<v Speaker 1>So I just turned my body up and tried to

95
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 1>flip up on top. And there's a chop there where

96
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>water flows through excess water, and my foot got stuck

97
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.079
<v Speaker 1>in there and I couldn't get it loose, and I'm

98
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm down in the water, you know, and my foot's

99
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>up high and I'm taking water in. Somehow, somebody, thank

100
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 1>good and said spot me and knew I was in

101
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 1>trouble and came over and gave me a hand. Yeah,

102
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.959
<v Speaker 1>that was my first seas very month of being a leprechaun.

103
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 1>Being a lucky it takes to be one, absolutely. You know.

104
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk in just a moment about your athletic times.

105
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>But I got a story that I want you to

106
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 2>share with the audience. And I don't like to talk

107
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.160
<v Speaker 2>dark negativity, but you haven't highlighted in the book called

108
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 2>The Darkest of Times. Here you are getting this amazing

109
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:25.959
<v Speaker 2>ten speed bicycle and you're somewhere in an apartment in

110
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.079
<v Speaker 2>alcoholm and it's very interesting, Michael, what happens as you're

111
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 2>riding down this hill in dark clothing. I turn it

112
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.560
<v Speaker 2>over to you, Michael, to tell us the story how

113
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 2>once again you were saved. Obviously, Okay, dog about hair raise.

114
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 1>This was hair raising that bad. Let me get to

115
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.079
<v Speaker 1>the before. I when I went up the hill in

116
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.319
<v Speaker 1>the first place, it was a brand new bike, Ken Speed.

117
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I've never had one before, a very steep heel, was windy,

118
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.399
<v Speaker 1>and it was probably about a mile and a half

119
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.600
<v Speaker 1>two miles long going up a hill, and I was

120
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.439
<v Speaker 1>having a gear slip on me. I had a very

121
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.800
<v Speaker 1>hard time making it. Now I made it to the

122
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 1>top summit now some way. And when I then I

123
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.759
<v Speaker 1>went to these friend's house, I was hited off too.

124
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 1>So when it was later in the days time for

125
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>me to go home, my friend asked me if I

126
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.959
<v Speaker 1>wanted to put my bike in his vehicle, then he'd

127
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 1>give me a ride home. I said no. I said

128
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 1>I had a heel I came up with, and I

129
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>told myself, when I go home, I can't wait to

130
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>go down it because I had such a hard time.

131
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 1>So I turned it down and I was all dressed

132
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>in dark clothes and then I'm going down. Then there's

133
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>no lights on this road. On the left hand side,

134
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a mountain. On the right hand side, it's a cliff,

135
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.439
<v Speaker 1>and it's two lanes and very narrow too. There's no

136
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 1>shoulder there at all. They're just enough for two cars

137
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>to go by. And so I'm going down. They say,

138
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I know, there's the light coming behind me, a light

139
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 1>coming up towards the bottom. And then I'm going, oh boy,

140
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>this is this is getting pretty scary because I got

141
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.720
<v Speaker 1>nowhere to go and I'll go off the cliff or what.

142
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>And so I just says that car was that was

143
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:02.399
<v Speaker 1>coming up behind me. Was right there. Okay, I had

144
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.399
<v Speaker 1>to move over to the left hand lane and let

145
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that car go by. As soon as that car went by,

146
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I zipped back over into the lane I was and

147
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.319
<v Speaker 1>the other car went by, and neither one could see

148
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.279
<v Speaker 1>me because the light on my the light on my

149
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 1>bike was flickering and I couldn't even see because because

150
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I had lights. So then it got to the point

151
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.519
<v Speaker 1>where I got stayed from that one, which way I

152
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.839
<v Speaker 1>could have gotten killed. So I'm getting down to the

153
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.839
<v Speaker 1>bottom of the of the hill and there's an intersection

154
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>there for on ramps going you know, two directions on it.

155
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:36.759
<v Speaker 1>You want to get on it. So right underneath that,

156
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I go underneath the freeway on the left hand side.

157
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>There's a big loop there, and I thought, and I

158
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>can't slow down. Oh my brakes are gone. My brakes

159
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 1>are gone. The lights got my brakes are gone. I'm

160
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>going like batter I ever think I could go. So

161
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm coming down underneath the highway, hoping that nobody can

162
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.039
<v Speaker 1>can be there when I'm being there for that few moments.

163
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.279
<v Speaker 1>I need to clear a spot, so I want to

164
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.159
<v Speaker 1>go into that park came out that's on the other

165
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 1>side of the free underneath, but on the other side of

166
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the street. But if I getn't getting I can at

167
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.480
<v Speaker 1>least slowed down by going around the parking lot. So

168
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.039
<v Speaker 1>as soon as I go down, I'm not ready to

169
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:12.960
<v Speaker 1>turn in that and the little Bolkswagen's coming out to

170
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.279
<v Speaker 1>the street and make a right turn, just looking left

171
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.840
<v Speaker 1>to see if anybody's coming. And I'm coming from the

172
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:19.720
<v Speaker 1>other way and I'm right in front of it, and

173
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>it pulls out and hits me, and yeah, I'm all

174
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>mangled up. I thought, Wow, that was that, and wow,

175
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.279
<v Speaker 1>I go well, So anyway, there was a lady that

176
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 1>was you know, had the vehicle, and she came over

177
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and asked me, and I, okay, well I got there

178
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>on this little wall there for a few minutes. I

179
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>just go ahead and go I'll go ahead and just

180
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, be pat and then try to get home,

181
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 1>which was still about three miles away. So then my

182
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>bike was crumbled us and my bike was crumbled up.

183
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>So then I got it back to where I could

184
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 1>get on it barely. So I'm going to I'm at

185
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the corner, but that big lot was was a corner too,

186
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>so I was going to go down that street, and

187
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>as a as a ROUTU was going home and there's

188
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 1>no lights on that road either, So there's railroad tracks.

189
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Right after I made the turn, probably about fifty yards

190
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 1>down the road, there's railroad tracks are going and angle

191
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.799
<v Speaker 1>across the road. So it happened the front wheel and

192
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.799
<v Speaker 1>I went over that rail. The front wheel got caught

193
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:19.879
<v Speaker 1>right in the rail, and I flipped over the front

194
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>of the bike. And man, your head first in the

195
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>road and it's dark. I got yeah this and I

196
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.559
<v Speaker 1>got dark clothes out. I already had this other experience.

197
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Now I thought it was miserable before. Man, now I'm

198
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.879
<v Speaker 1>really really really having a problem. So I get myself.

199
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:36.519
<v Speaker 1>I was laying on the on the highway, but man,

200
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna get running with young numbers. Adn't gonna see me.

201
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:40.200
<v Speaker 2>So I got the bike.

202
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:41.799
<v Speaker 1>Up the best I couldn't got off the side of

203
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the road by that tention. Cars went by, and I go,

204
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>oh boy. And then I've still got my about three

205
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.320
<v Speaker 1>miles to go home. So I got the bike barely

206
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:53.120
<v Speaker 1>going uh and getting on finally getting on the street

207
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>where I'm I'm at, I'm saying, oh man, when I'm home.

208
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>So right as I had about fifty yards from where

209
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.639
<v Speaker 1>I live. The light that went out on the on

210
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the front wheel slid down in the foot and jammed

211
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the bike again, and I almost flipped overhead first again.

212
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:14.759
<v Speaker 1>So then yeah, so then so then so then I

213
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>went in. I went I went in the house and

214
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>my wife and I'm not looking very good. I'm all,

215
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.919
<v Speaker 1>you know. Yeah, So she said, what happened to you?

216
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I said, it's a long story. So I told her,

217
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I said, you know, I said, I said, this is

218
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.440
<v Speaker 1>what happened to me. And I could have avoided that

219
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.320
<v Speaker 1>if I would have just taken the guy's device and

220
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.039
<v Speaker 1>put the bike in his car and then take me home.

221
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.559
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to make this real quick if I

222
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>can to finish this bike story off. It was about

223
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I did. My bike was mef. I took it back

224
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to where I bought and they gave me a new one.

225
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.759
<v Speaker 1>So after a couple of weeks, I started, I'm telling

226
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 1>you I want to go for I'm going to go

227
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.360
<v Speaker 1>for a ride. And the ride, the ride the key

228
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:49.240
<v Speaker 1>reason why I'm going to go for the ride. I'm

229
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>going to drive to neighborhoods and down streets and just

230
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:54.879
<v Speaker 1>see who was really paying attention to me. Okay, well

231
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>that was an eye opener. I could got hit two

232
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.120
<v Speaker 1>or three more times if I wasn't looking out for them.

233
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.159
<v Speaker 1>I just found out that how little people know when

234
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>they're riding a bike, that you know other people aren't

235
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.519
<v Speaker 1>sharing that much or knowing that you're even there. So

236
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:08.639
<v Speaker 1>then I took to the bike home, put it up

237
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.679
<v Speaker 1>in the attic and hung it there and never wrote

238
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:13.559
<v Speaker 1>it again. So that was.

239
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:17.879
<v Speaker 2>A interesting story. Well, Mike, interesting story. And I just

240
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:19.879
<v Speaker 2>want to remind our listeners here you're listening to the

244
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 2>belief of many others that you have some sort of

245
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.519
<v Speaker 2>spirit watching over you and in this particular thing, not

252
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.600
<v Speaker 2>want to move on quickly if we can do some

253
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.480
<v Speaker 2>of the other things that have happened in your life,

<v Speaker 2>a little bit in the short abbreviated version us a

257
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:03.639
<v Speaker 2>little bit about your.

258
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.919
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, real quick. This all started, you want to

259
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not. When I was about three years old.

260
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.440
<v Speaker 1>So I was living up north there in the Bay Area,

261
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.279
<v Speaker 1>and my brother and I I was a year and

262
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:19.879
<v Speaker 1>a half older than me. For some reason we had

263
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.799
<v Speaker 1>we just loved something to do with baseball. So I'm

264
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.279
<v Speaker 1>playing baseball in my front yard, my brother and I

265
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.799
<v Speaker 1>and I'm swinging a pretty good size bat, and I'm

266
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:32.000
<v Speaker 1>three years old, and I just found the love of

267
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 1>baseball was in me. There's just something about it to

268
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:38.279
<v Speaker 1>this very day that Fad was disappointed night last night

269
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.799
<v Speaker 1>watching the Dinerbacks with again and shaid. Well, but anyway,

270
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:44.759
<v Speaker 1>it's never It's never left me. I was then my

271
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.279
<v Speaker 1>brother and I would I got in the little league.

272
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I was the star player in the li League. When

273
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I was twelve years old. I had a bat and

274
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:56.519
<v Speaker 1>average of over seven hundred, which is almost impossible. I

275
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:05.440
<v Speaker 1>hit six seven home runs and six six no hitters.

276
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:08.600
<v Speaker 1>He was seven home runs and bad over seven hundred

277
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>in literally then I went out to playing Pony League

278
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 1>and the next level up was totally finally went in

279
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:19.080
<v Speaker 1>to play in an industrial league. Uh and the very

280
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 1>first game I was ever in that was a new

281
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.399
<v Speaker 1>guy on the team. But in practice they found out

282
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>how I could hit and how I could throw. Favorite

283
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>position was third base, but they wanted to put me

284
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:31.440
<v Speaker 1>in the game, but the third baseman they liked, so

285
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:33.759
<v Speaker 1>they stuck me out in the center field, which is

286
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 1>one of the toughest spots to be if you're in

287
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the outfield, being in center field, because you had cover

288
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot more room and got to have a pretty

289
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.279
<v Speaker 1>good arm and all that stuff. So this guy that

290
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.000
<v Speaker 1>came up to that in that game was one in

291
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.279
<v Speaker 1>one of the times he was a league leading hitter

292
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:51.399
<v Speaker 1>that was in our league. The guy was probably well

293
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:53.519
<v Speaker 1>welled over, probably I would say at least six four

294
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:57.360
<v Speaker 1>or more. Okay, a big guy. So I'm out there

295
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.279
<v Speaker 1>in center field and I heard how he's a guy

296
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:01.559
<v Speaker 1>could hit. And it was in a park too, because

297
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:03.519
<v Speaker 1>of the ball game that we were supposed to be

298
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>playing at. Our field was sweated to me, had left

299
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.879
<v Speaker 1>the water rain all night. But we called Parks and Recreation.

300
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>They gave us a spot to play in this game

301
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.639
<v Speaker 1>in that park, so we're playing there. There's no fence.

302
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.639
<v Speaker 1>So then I the guys got me out there in

303
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.000
<v Speaker 1>center field. So I'm just thankful to being the game.

304
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.399
<v Speaker 1>And then this guy, there's a guy on second base,

305
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>and the guy hits the line drive out to me.

306
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:26.639
<v Speaker 1>I run up and caught it on the first bounce

307
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>and I rifled it back into home, played one bounce

308
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:31.759
<v Speaker 1>to the catcher to the guy out fifteen feet before.

309
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey wasn't even halfway home when the ball was he

310
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.200
<v Speaker 1>was around a third base. Win at let go, and

311
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:38.639
<v Speaker 1>I nailed it right there into the catcher, and we

312
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.559
<v Speaker 1>said got he goes out. So then when this batter

313
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>came up, I would play him about four hundred feet.

314
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:46.279
<v Speaker 1>If he's going to get a hit, he's going to

315
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.000
<v Speaker 1>get a short one out. He can get he can

316
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:49.919
<v Speaker 1>get a single from me, but I don't let him

317
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:51.559
<v Speaker 1>hit it over my head because he's going to round

318
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the basin and that's going to be it. I played

319
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.279
<v Speaker 1>him extra deep, so then he was up. This one

320
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.519
<v Speaker 1>time he swung and I heard the crack of the

321
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>bat from that far away, and all of a sudden,

322
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.279
<v Speaker 1>I was coming right at me, and I'm turning. I'm

323
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:06.320
<v Speaker 1>going running the staff as I can the other way,

324
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and the ball's not coming down. I say, man, I'll

325
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.240
<v Speaker 1>be coming down any second. So I looked up for it,

326
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and when I could see it coming down, it was

327
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:15.440
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of me. But I spun around

328
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>and dove out and caught it. And the after after that,

329
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.519
<v Speaker 1>in the dug out, this is this is really a surprise.

330
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.759
<v Speaker 1>In the dugout after that, when we went to when

331
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.360
<v Speaker 1>we got him out, I'm sitting there and the manager

332
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>from the other team he came. He came to over

333
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.840
<v Speaker 1>over to our doorway and he said to somebody right

334
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>near they said, where's your center fielder at and they

335
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.559
<v Speaker 1>pointed to me. So he came down and stood in

336
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.159
<v Speaker 1>front of me. He said, you know, he said, I

337
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:45.039
<v Speaker 1>am so glad I was here today. I got a

338
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.679
<v Speaker 1>chance to see something that I think is probably maybe

339
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:49.919
<v Speaker 1>the greatest catch in the history of baseball. And I

340
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>was able to watch you do that. I don't know

341
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>how you did that. He put out and shook his

342
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.919
<v Speaker 1>hand with my hand and said, boy, that was that

343
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.600
<v Speaker 1>was that was so unbelievable. So then I also, Michael,

344
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.559
<v Speaker 1>that's amazing, as I do singles in a triple in

345
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the game.

346
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Well you're amazing. I mean, that's why we're talking with

347

349
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.720

354
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.400
<v Speaker 2>He works hard and has worked hard for everything he's done,

355

374
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.279
<v Speaker 1>We got home one night and my father was in

375
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the navy. We got home at two o'clock. We were

376
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>my brother and I was working at Jack and the Box.

377
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.079
<v Speaker 1>I was working at a fast food restaurant. My car

378
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:45.279
<v Speaker 1>wasn't working, so my brother came pick me up. We

379
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.480
<v Speaker 1>both got off out the same time. About two o'clock.

380
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.680
<v Speaker 1>We get home and all of a sudden, my dad

381
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:52.440
<v Speaker 1>meets us at the door and he says, to the twoists,

382
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 1>and I was going to call it's taking thirteen units. Also,

383
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:01.759
<v Speaker 1>I was either working or studying. Uh uh, sleep sleep

384
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:03.680
<v Speaker 1>wasn't part of the program. Anyways. If my dad says,

385
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.559
<v Speaker 1>you guys are leaving tonight, he says, you got packed

386
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:08.839
<v Speaker 1>your gear and said whatever you don't take, salvation army

387
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:10.279
<v Speaker 1>will get And we didn't cause you an hotel. But

388
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.079
<v Speaker 1>he he was out of the house when he was

389
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:14.240
<v Speaker 1>like fifteen, so he thought we should be going That

390
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:16.640
<v Speaker 1>long story short. So then we moved. So my brother

391
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:18.960
<v Speaker 1>was working at Jack in the Box, so he was

392
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:20.559
<v Speaker 1>working with the new guy was going to take over

393
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:23.319
<v Speaker 1>a new one up in the Sunlinarya, which is around there,

394
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 1>not too far from bird Bank, and so we left

395
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.039
<v Speaker 1>about three o'clock in the morning. He said, well, drive

396
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:30.039
<v Speaker 1>up faces, I'll get you a job. So then we

397
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.680
<v Speaker 1>went there. He got the guy took my brother and

398
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:35.480
<v Speaker 1>made him assitant manager right away with my brother trained

399
00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:38.440
<v Speaker 1>mother was one that trained him to run to have

400
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:40.559
<v Speaker 1>that jack. That's how much he wanted my brother to

401
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:43.559
<v Speaker 1>go before this incident naming came up. But that's why

402
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:45.039
<v Speaker 1>he was able to get a job for sure. But

403
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the guy he want to hire me. So then I

404
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:49.799
<v Speaker 1>told my brother, don't worry about bird Bank, which two

405
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:52.160
<v Speaker 1>miles away. So the next day I go to this

406
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Jack in the Box and uh, I, let's see about

407
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:58.039
<v Speaker 1>playing for a job. So the guy says, oh, ther

408
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:00.960
<v Speaker 1>owner's upstairs. So I go up there, walk in his office.

409
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.279
<v Speaker 1>He got big old Jack, got navy pictures all over

410
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.440
<v Speaker 1>the back behind him on the wall. And I told him, said,

411
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for a job, and so he goes, he goes, well, okay,

412
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:13.079
<v Speaker 1>And so he told me how much he was going

413
00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:15.440
<v Speaker 1>to pay me, and I said, I can't. I can't

414
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>work for that because I was running this restaurant when

415
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I was when I got we left the house that evening.

416
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I was been managing that besides going to colleague. Okay,

417
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:26.599
<v Speaker 1>So I knew I knew a lot harder to run

418
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.119
<v Speaker 1>that restaurant. Jack in the Box was easy. So I

419
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.079
<v Speaker 1>told him, I said, I said I can't work for that,

420
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.119
<v Speaker 1>and he said, well, I don't pay that kind of money.

421
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I said, why don't you let me come in? And

422
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:39.200
<v Speaker 1>this is on a Thursday. He said, why don't let

423
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:43.519
<v Speaker 1>me come in tomorrow night, tomorrow evening, and I'll show

424
00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:46.000
<v Speaker 1>you what I can do and I can back it up,

425
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and I think you'd be very pleased. So then he

426
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.000
<v Speaker 1>said that's a good idea. So five o'clock. That next evening,

427
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I show up and we're The grillery is the most

428
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:58.079
<v Speaker 1>important part of it because everything basically comes out of there,

429
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and everything has to be done in the right way

430
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.160
<v Speaker 1>and and fast and nice and all that other stuff.

431
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:06.359
<v Speaker 1>So he told me he had they takes three people

432
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.519
<v Speaker 1>to run that grill area on a Friday night, which

433
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:10.839
<v Speaker 1>is the busiest night of all the week. So then

434
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:12.839
<v Speaker 1>I told him, I said, I don't I don't need them.

435
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.359
<v Speaker 1>How can I show you what I can do? I said,

436
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:17.400
<v Speaker 1>they'll just get in my way. And he kind of

437
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:19.240
<v Speaker 1>he hoed at me. He said, take I said, take

438
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:20.119
<v Speaker 1>three people to do that.

439
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:20.720
<v Speaker 2>I told you.

440
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:22.759
<v Speaker 1>I said, I don't need them, and I can prove

441
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>it to you. You just let me do it myself.

442
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.039
<v Speaker 1>So he let me do it myself. So then I

443
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:28.960
<v Speaker 1>ran that. I ran that all davening real quick. I

444
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:31.799
<v Speaker 1>never made one mistake. I have to wrap everything, make

445
00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:36.839
<v Speaker 1>do everything, and and and so the next morning he

446
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.160
<v Speaker 1>had me come in at eight o'clock. So I went

447
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.599
<v Speaker 1>upstairs to see him. And on the back then they

448
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.359
<v Speaker 1>all have a little badge with their name on it

449
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.039
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot. So I looked on the table. He had

450
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.359
<v Speaker 1>a badge and my and my and my name had

451
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:51.960
<v Speaker 1>my name on it, but also below it says assistant manager.

452
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:55.559
<v Speaker 1>He said, he said, I'm paying you everything you wanted.

453
00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:57.960
<v Speaker 1>He said, I'm still trying to get over what you

454
00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:59.799
<v Speaker 1>did is you've never cooked your jack in the walk

455
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:02.039
<v Speaker 1>work during your whole life, and you ran that full

456
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:04.559
<v Speaker 1>show that night. But he said, I still can't comprehend

457
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:07.319
<v Speaker 1>how you did that. He made me assistant manager on

458
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:09.799
<v Speaker 1>he worked one ship and it's only one there's only

459
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:12.319
<v Speaker 1>one sistant manager on the whole crew, and it's hard

460
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:14.359
<v Speaker 1>to be that. So my brother and I are both

461
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.160
<v Speaker 1>assistant that I had to do it the hard way.

462
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:18.839
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, that proved it to him, and.

463
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was.

464
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:20.640
<v Speaker 1>It was quite a deal.

465
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that's interesting, Michael. So we're talking about the

466
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:26.799
<v Speaker 2>luck of the golden lumper con plus you know, a

467
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:29.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of sweat and tears and hard work and elbow grase.

468
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:31.720
<v Speaker 2>But this isn't amazing, But I want to kind of

469
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:34.039
<v Speaker 2>focus well I kind of focus on this, but the

470
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:36.359
<v Speaker 2>moments we have with you, this is an amazing story.

471
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:39.559
<v Speaker 2>And it seems probably a little different than many people

472
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:41.640
<v Speaker 2>that listen to this archive. And why are we doing

473
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.440
<v Speaker 2>this because I'm very impressed with when I met you,

474
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.599
<v Speaker 2>and I made a commitment to you that we would

475
00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:48.599
<v Speaker 2>I would read your book, and I'm certainly glad I

476
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:51.960
<v Speaker 2>did and send this out to the world because this

477
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:55.480
<v Speaker 2>is interesting. It's like when you get knocked down, many

478
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>people give up. No, Michael O'Reilly gets back up. He had,

479
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:02.880
<v Speaker 2>in his opinion and the opinion of many others, a

480
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:05.880
<v Speaker 2>blessing that some spirituality or in the form of a

481
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:09.880
<v Speaker 2>golden leprechaun is basically his guiding light in the background.

482
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Call it a guardian angel, will call it whatever you want.

483
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:15.200
<v Speaker 2>But this is interesting. Michael. You also go on and

484
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:17.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing a very short version of your life because

485
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:21.279
<v Speaker 2>the book goes into great detail. But you're involved with

486
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:24.400
<v Speaker 2>in the horse world. This is fascinating and I want

487
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:27.200
<v Speaker 2>you to take a few moments on those. You know,

488
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:31.400
<v Speaker 2>it's interesting you see horses and if people don't bond

489
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:34.039
<v Speaker 2>with the horse, and I know nothing about horses, and

490
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:36.359
<v Speaker 2>then they're beautiful and I watch them when I see

491
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:40.000
<v Speaker 2>the Kentucky Derby every year. But here's my thing. If

492
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:43.440
<v Speaker 2>you're not the right kind of personality to understand the

493
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:46.720
<v Speaker 2>horse or bond with them, as many people do not do.

494
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:51.880
<v Speaker 2>You obviously have been described as the horse whisperer, and

495
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.680
<v Speaker 2>this is interesting, and not to gloat over this. What's

496
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:58.599
<v Speaker 2>that connection with you and horses, because you've done so much.

497
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:01.920
<v Speaker 2>You've had Thoroughbred horses to race horses. You know, you've

498
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.240
<v Speaker 2>been in that big league, and you've taken horses that

499
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:07.799
<v Speaker 2>basically were mistreated in your opinion, to turning them out

500
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:11.279
<v Speaker 2>to be horses that solved love an affection and actually

501
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.880
<v Speaker 2>were given the opportunity to perform and become real champions.

502
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Talk a little bit about that.

503
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, The horses in my life were treasures to me.

504
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:24.160
<v Speaker 1>It's a part of my life that to do it

505
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>all over again, a lot of money in it, a

506
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:27.319
<v Speaker 1>lot of this and a lot of that, and a

507
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.119
<v Speaker 1>lot of hard work, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

508
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:32.279
<v Speaker 1>I still miss them to this very day that I

509
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:36.839
<v Speaker 1>don't have any but to how I would I do

510
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:39.480
<v Speaker 1>is I do a lot of expreme on how to

511
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.599
<v Speaker 1>have a horse understand the things I was trying to

512
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:44.960
<v Speaker 1>tell it. So what I did is I came up

513
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.039
<v Speaker 1>with many many different ways to be able to ask

514
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:50.559
<v Speaker 1>a horse to do something I'm trying to communicate to

515
00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:53.319
<v Speaker 1>it to get it to do okay, and those things

516
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I've done them in they're faithful. I put the horse

517
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:01.279
<v Speaker 1>and it's always in a classroom. I let them know

518
00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:03.400
<v Speaker 1>that we're in class today, that I'm going to try

519
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:06.920
<v Speaker 1>and share something with you, okay, and then this doing something,

520
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and then when we're talking to a word, not talking

521
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to another person. But I'm able to do that. I

522
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:14.799
<v Speaker 1>spent so many hours. I'm so blessed to I can't well.

523
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I've had situations where I had a friend that had

524
00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:24.119
<v Speaker 1>a young horse that was a year lan pretty good,

525
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're getting pretty good. Side of that time,

526
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:28.200
<v Speaker 1>he said no one could catch it. And he said

527
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't catch it. And this guy had like forty

528
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 1>seven horses other than in his house. When we were

529
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:34.880
<v Speaker 1>telling you that, I said, I'll go and cat, I

530
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:36.680
<v Speaker 1>can go and get him for you. He said, there's

531
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:38.799
<v Speaker 1>no way you're going to get that horse. I said,

532
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll get him and and I said, I said I

533
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:45.039
<v Speaker 1>can get I said I'll give him ten minutes. You

534
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker 1>started laughing at me, and he said I can't get

535
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:49.359
<v Speaker 1>you a though you're not going to get I said, well,

536
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:50.680
<v Speaker 1>wy don't you can? I go out and do that.

537
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:52.759
<v Speaker 1>He said, sure you can't. I said, well, give me

538
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:55.119
<v Speaker 1>I need I need twelve minutes. I need two minutes

539
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>to get out there, and then you can come out.

540
00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't want you to looking out the window or

541
00:25:58.920 --> 00:26:02.400
<v Speaker 1>anything like that. So then, now this horse doesn't have

542
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:04.720
<v Speaker 1>anything on his head what they call the haltzer, you

543
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:07.599
<v Speaker 1>leave it around and stuff like that. So I went out.

544
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I went out into the things I need to do

545
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:11.519
<v Speaker 1>in order to do this, and then in less than

546
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.440
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes I got that. Not only do I have

547
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:17.079
<v Speaker 1>the horse stop and I'm petting it, and when you

548
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:18.799
<v Speaker 1>try to put something on a horse for the first

549
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:21.759
<v Speaker 1>time that's never happened, especially around their head area, that's

550
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:24.279
<v Speaker 1>very frightened, could be very frightened to them. But I

551
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:26.960
<v Speaker 1>taught the horse how calm I was. He trusted me

552
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and I had it on that fact, I was leading

553
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:31.119
<v Speaker 1>him around. When he came out, he goes.

554
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:31.599
<v Speaker 2>How'd you do that?

555
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:34.559
<v Speaker 1>I said, well, I've got experience in doing that, and

556
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:37.160
<v Speaker 1>there are things that I can do that. It's hard

557
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:39.079
<v Speaker 1>to be explain how to do it. But if I

558
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:42.039
<v Speaker 1>watched the person watched the steps that I do one, two, three, four,

559
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:45.000
<v Speaker 1>how many many they are So here's when I get done.

560
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.079
<v Speaker 1>When I work with a horse, this is what's got happened.

561
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't get hurt, the horse doesn't get hurt, and

562
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:54.160
<v Speaker 1>the horse, the horse is going to learn what I'm

563
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:56.960
<v Speaker 1>teaching it. And when I get done, and above all,

564
00:26:57.519 --> 00:26:59.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not it's not going to be a nervous horse.

565
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:01.720
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be a calmer horse. And I started,

566
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.519
<v Speaker 1>it's going to learn the process I'm trying to teach it.

567
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:07.160
<v Speaker 1>And when I'm saying this, I think I'm one of

568
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the best that's ever lived doing this. There's there's there's

569
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:11.880
<v Speaker 1>there's a guy named that's amazing.

570
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Michael.

571
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Anyway, I love all aspects of the horses. I

572
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:20.759
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't change for anything. Yeah, they're wonderful.

573
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, Michael, this is interesting. Some people say it's very

574
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:25.240
<v Speaker 2>difficult to you describe in the book, and I have

575
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:27.680
<v Speaker 2>no knowledge of horses other than I love them. And

576
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I think you know that. Obviously they're beautiful animals when

577
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:32.880
<v Speaker 2>they're well treated, and many of you, of course are not.

578
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.680
<v Speaker 2>And there we go. You you described how difficult it

579
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:40.599
<v Speaker 2>is sometimes to get a horse into a trailer, and

580
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I never realized that could be a problem for some horses,

581
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:46.119
<v Speaker 2>and you go into great detail, but in memory of

582
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:49.599
<v Speaker 2>the horse gallant victory. You know, obviously your time with

583
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:52.720
<v Speaker 2>horses is very special and that is some part of

584
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.039
<v Speaker 2>this interview that I wanted to highlight. But Michael, in closing,

585
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:57.519
<v Speaker 2>I wish we had more time. I just have a

586
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:00.519
<v Speaker 2>few more questions for you, and this very interesting but

587
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.400
<v Speaker 2>short moment in time. Maybe we can do this again

588
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.920
<v Speaker 2>sometime in a longer form. Always rules, you know. I

589
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:10.359
<v Speaker 2>want to just mention a couple of other things. You

590
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:14.759
<v Speaker 2>have a special relationship with God, and I remember when

591
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.119
<v Speaker 2>you were there you described to me and your pastoring

592
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:19.920
<v Speaker 2>and also all the things that are so important to

593
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:23.200
<v Speaker 2>you spiritually. And I think that's very important because in

594
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.440
<v Speaker 2>many people's minds that's missing from a lot of the vocabulary.

595
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Not judging people, but you know, in general. But obviously

596
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:32.599
<v Speaker 2>that brings you peace, that brings you who you are

597
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:36.079
<v Speaker 2>as you a man of God. And it's interesting that

598
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:39.720
<v Speaker 2>you have now this is interesting. This gets into a

599
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:43.759
<v Speaker 2>different side of Michael O'Reilly. The website is simply coming

600
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Times dot org. And what can people find in that website, Michael,

601
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Because you've done an extensive research on what one of

602
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:54.759
<v Speaker 2>the more interesting books of the Bible as we talk

603
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:57.279
<v Speaker 2>about what the Book of Revelations and other things related

604
00:28:57.319 --> 00:28:58.279
<v Speaker 2>to that, Am I correct that?

605
00:28:58.680 --> 00:29:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Well, yeah, you basically are that that book was

606
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:05.559
<v Speaker 1>given to me by the Holy Spirit to pay the

607
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:09.960
<v Speaker 1>articles that are in that website. But first off started

608
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.680
<v Speaker 1>on on it. I'll say exactly. The day that started

609
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.359
<v Speaker 1>where that website got inaugurated was on inauguration Day. It

610
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:23.440
<v Speaker 1>was on it was on the tome on Michael the

611
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:26.359
<v Speaker 1>election day, and I sat back in my chair at

612
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:29.359
<v Speaker 1>five o'clock, five o'clock in the evening, I sat back

613
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:32.440
<v Speaker 1>in my chair. I'm not trying to say this to that,

614
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:34.640
<v Speaker 1>but I like Trump, and I'm not saying that bad

615
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:37.079
<v Speaker 1>about anybody else, but Trump was my guy. But I

616
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:39.599
<v Speaker 1>sat back in my I sat back in my chair.

617
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:43.200
<v Speaker 1>It's five o'clock. Not no results had come in at

618
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 1>that point, but I'm getting ready. I'm all excited for

619
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.160
<v Speaker 1>the evening to come. I sat back in my chair

620
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:51.240
<v Speaker 1>and the Holy Spirit told me, he said, Mike, I

621
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.720
<v Speaker 1>want you to get a pat and once she gets

622
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:55.440
<v Speaker 1>something rite with he says, and I and I have

623
00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:58.960
<v Speaker 1>experience like in the horses and studying them I studied

624
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:03.240
<v Speaker 1>prophecy the same way, and the Lord told me, he said,

625
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:06.039
<v Speaker 1>he said, I need to have your knowledge, Mike, if

626
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:09.559
<v Speaker 1>you have to use a benefit to other people. He said,

627
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to give you this. These things I want

628
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:12.519
<v Speaker 1>you to do. I want you to put together a

629
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:16.200
<v Speaker 1>message to take out two different ministers and preachers that

630
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:18.799
<v Speaker 1>will accept you showing this to them. I'm letting them

631
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:25.359
<v Speaker 1>have it, okay. And then it said I just took

632
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:29.960
<v Speaker 1>this took about two hours. And so he also told me,

633
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.519
<v Speaker 1>he said, as far as the election goes, he said Trump.

634
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:35.559
<v Speaker 1>He said, I know this is going to hurt you. Michael.

635
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:39.400
<v Speaker 1>He said, but I but I know how much you

636
00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:41.319
<v Speaker 1>like Trump. But he said, Trump's not going to win

637
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:44.559
<v Speaker 1>the election. He said. I said, I'm sorry that's going

638
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:46.519
<v Speaker 1>to he said. But he told me, he said, I

639
00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:50.240
<v Speaker 1>don't need a strong America right now. He said, I

640
00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:50.880
<v Speaker 1>don't need that.

641
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:51.359
<v Speaker 2>He said.

642
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:54.960
<v Speaker 1>My prophecy said, I have to fulfill are about ready

643
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:57.559
<v Speaker 1>to take place soon, and the world's not set up

644
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:00.799
<v Speaker 1>for us to be strong at that moment. So I said,

645
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Biden's going to win the election, We're going to fall

646
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:06.240
<v Speaker 1>from power. We're not going to have the respect that

647
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:08.559
<v Speaker 1>we've always had. We're not going to be that country

648
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:12.519
<v Speaker 1>ever again. And that's where we are right now. Anyway,

649
00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the website it talks about, it talks about that message.

650
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:18.519
<v Speaker 1>It starts off with that message. There's a thing called

651
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the rapture, which is God's next move for planet Earth. Okay,

652
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:25.480
<v Speaker 1>So it takes in that rapture, which is the gathering

653
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:27.359
<v Speaker 1>together of the same to be caught up together to

654
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:29.680
<v Speaker 1>meet the Lord in Heaven at a point when all

655
00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:32.240
<v Speaker 1>this takes place, in the blink of an eye eleven

656
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:36.039
<v Speaker 1>to one second. That the moment that happens is there's

657
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:38.880
<v Speaker 1>a tribulation pretty started a seven years seven years. Then

658
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:40.920
<v Speaker 1>there's a second coming into the Lord. All this was

659
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:43.759
<v Speaker 1>given to me. I love I'm doing for articles right now,

660
00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:45.279
<v Speaker 1>for I got what I'm looking at right now. For

661
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.240
<v Speaker 1>em I'm finishing up. He's always got me on an assignment.

662
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:51.000
<v Speaker 1>And I love every day I get up. I spend

663
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:54.440
<v Speaker 1>days with him. He's my all in all right now,

664
00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:56.160
<v Speaker 1>and he had been for some time.

665
00:31:57.839 --> 00:31:59.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, Michael, it's a purpose and honor to have you.

666
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Don't go away yet. I just want to quote something

667
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:04.720
<v Speaker 2>from your book that has always been one of your

668
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:08.880
<v Speaker 2>favorite pieces of Scripture, and it's from the Book of Psalms,

669
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:12.839
<v Speaker 2>and I quote or he shall give angels charged over

670
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:17.279
<v Speaker 2>watching thee to keep THEE in all thy ways. And

671
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 2>the main consensus that I get out of your book

672
00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:22.519
<v Speaker 2>is that you're blessed not only by the Lord, but

673
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:26.039
<v Speaker 2>also by the spirit of the Leprechaun. And being a

674
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:29.359
<v Speaker 2>man who's proud of his Irish heritage and obviously everybody

675
00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:33.160
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to be Irish to appreciate this particular episode.

676
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:35.920
<v Speaker 2>But what I learned from you, Michael, is this is

677
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:39.519
<v Speaker 2>my summation from my side of the equation that we

678
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:43.160
<v Speaker 2>grow up, we obviously have difficulties in our life, and

679
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:46.960
<v Speaker 2>how we handle those shapes our character in the future.

680
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:49.799
<v Speaker 2>And never give up. And as if you're knocked down

681
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:53.680
<v Speaker 2>in something or emotionally or physically, you get back up

682
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:56.039
<v Speaker 2>and you follow the path that you believe is right

683
00:32:56.160 --> 00:33:00.319
<v Speaker 2>and righteous. And in your coarticular case, this book Two

684
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Tales of the Golden Leprecaun explains your opinions.

685
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:05.000
<v Speaker 1>And I certainly.

686
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate Michael you being with us today. His website, once
