That was Mike being Mike. He was raised in a saloon. Even though he had money and powerful friends, he was right at home in the local saloon talking sports and telling stories. Too bad he hated doing TV. That's why there is so little video on him.

Mike: Who do think will hit you: Mexican Mafia?" Russian mob?
Slats: "The one which quota is down that day. Do ya' think God keeps count?"
Mike: "That's a tough one."
Slats: "Ya' know, come to think of it, God is too busy on account of keeping up with the ex-Cub Factor."
Mike. "Could be."
Slats: " I still gotta scram!" Rooskies, Mex. Ouch."
