Tate Speech - Tate on His Favorite Quote

The story of how my dad was beaten to death by a bunch of mexicans in a fight at a gas station in the early 00s. I remember it like it was yesterday and how scared I was of what was going to happen to my dad and how I managed to save the day. I don t even remember the fight, but I remember the day it happened and how it changed my dad's life forever. I hope you enjoy the story and learn from it as much as I did. I hope it makes you feel a little bit better about your own situation and that you don t have to be afraid of the things that happen to you and your family because of the people around you. I know I used to be scared of the stuff my dad did, but now I know how to deal with it and I know what to do when it happens to someone you care deeply about. Thank you for listening to this episode of the podcast, I really appreciate it and I hope that you enjoy this episode and that it gives you some perspective on your life and your life hope you find some value in it. xoxo -P.S. I'm not a professional chess player, I'm just a kid, I don't play chess, I just play it in my spare time but that's not the only time I've ever played it in a tournament so if you're interested in learning how to play it, then you can join me in the next week. I'll be in a competition or something like that. - I'm going to teach you how to learn how to beat someone else in chess the game (I'll teach you the game of chess?

I'll tell you what you can do that, you'll have to pay me a lesson if you don't know what you're good enough to do so you're here to help me teach me how to teach me that I can do so I can help me, you can help someone else, but you'll get a better one of those things it's not gonna help me do that

00:00:00.000 so i've got a saying which is on my business card and the saying is my unmatched perspicacity

00:00:12.360 coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor

00:00:16.940 and what that basically means is unmatched perspicacity my ability to perceive things

00:00:21.600 at an unmatched level coupled with sheer indefatigability my ability to never become tired

00:00:26.520 so i can perceive and i never become tired makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor

00:00:31.860 and people have asked me where that came from and that's actually a quote of my father's

00:00:35.300 the story goes as following my dad was a chess player but not only was he an amazingly good

00:00:41.760 at chess imagine him more as he was a chess hustler so my dad was a hustler that's who he was so if

00:00:48.340 he had no money and he needed money he'd walk into a chess club back then there was chess clubs

00:00:53.740 everywhere because the internet hadn't taken off there wasn't internet chess he'd walk into a

00:00:57.220 chess club and he'd say you get his last money in the world 20 bucks and say 20 bucks you get 10

00:01:03.360 minutes on the clock i get one minute i'll be any i'll lick any one of you literally you start betting 0.80

00:01:07.940 money and just start schooling people i i was with him when i was a kid i was i used to play chess with 0.86

00:01:13.340 him used to travel to tournaments together all the time and he'd just walk in and start schooling

00:01:17.240 people licking them walk in there 20 bucks leave for 300 and other grandmasters everything at blitz

00:01:23.020 the way he played was so aggressive even if on a longer form game you could hold out and beat him

00:01:30.060 because it was so aggressive and it came so fast in these blitz games you play for money he's just

00:01:35.280 steamroll people people couldn't calculate quick enough because my dad was suicidal sacrifices queen 0.97

00:01:59.040 to a gas station and at the gas station i had walked to the back to start looking at crisps and stuff and

00:02:05.000 i heard the bell of the door ring and some mexicans walked in and my dad was at the counter purchasing

00:02:09.840 something i have no idea what happened for the fight to start because the bell rang on the door

00:02:17.400 and about four seconds later everyone was fighting i don't know if they pulled a gun on him i don't

00:02:22.980 know what happened but when i came i looked around from the counter and my dad had one guy both of his

00:02:29.760 hands on his neck and his shoulders up to try and protect his head and other three mexican guys were 0.90

00:03:35.120 were facing one way and they ran out the store this was the whole event was six seconds seven

00:04:08.740 off my dad was a big guy bit of a belly but like a big guy and had put it on his head and was holding

00:04:15.080 the blood in and i didn't say a word and he didn't say a word i just stood there waiting for the police

00:04:20.200 waiting for the police waiting for the police anyway the police officers came i started asking my dad

00:04:24.780 and the guy behind the counter questions police officers came with the guns drawn the guy behind

00:04:28.260 the counter goes no no no no it's not him it's not him it's the other guys the other guys so the

00:04:32.700 korean guy vouched for my father so they started asking questions what's your name he said emery

00:04:37.120 tate tell us what happened emery said i'll stay at the counter etc etc start telling the story

00:04:42.520 anyway got to a point where during the questioning they're standing there the guy goes to him so what's

00:04:47.380 your job my dad said i'm a chess player now i remember my dad's face was was badly bruised really badly

00:04:53.300 fucked up his head's all bleeding and the guy behind the counter had just told the police the 0.96

00:05:11.520 you should have been something else my dad's reply was my unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer

00:05:17.960 indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor and the police officer

00:05:22.940 stood there with his pad and just asked the next question i know for a fact he didn't write that

00:05:29.000 down and even though i was so young i remembered that sentence from the day he said it and that

00:05:34.120 may just be maybe it's just because i was in the scenario maybe it's because i saw it with my own

00:05:38.520 eyes maybe it's because i saw the aftermath of my mom crying when we came home and his face was all 0.76

00:05:42.880 fucked up and we couldn't afford the medical bills for him to go to hospital to have an x-ray so he was 0.96
