00:01:44.000 He's like, we'll figure it out.
00:01:47.000 We jump in the car, we start driving.
00:01:49.000 He's hitting down some Hennessy or something.
00:01:53.000 While driving.

00:02:04.000 And he's talking trash the whole way.
00:02:05.000 He's talking chess.
00:02:06.000 He's philosophizing about life, the whole thing.
00:02:09.000 At some point, he's getting so tired, he starts to swerve.
00:02:12.000 We're on the highway and he's like I was like yo, i'd have to keep waking him up focus, man.
00:02:17.000 And then he's like you know what, i'm tired man, just pull over and see, that's a good idea.
00:02:22.000 So he pulled over and after a minute and then we went to to his home in Indiana we're on the way yeah, and he had some sisters I guess your aunt, beautiful women yeah, and i'm trying to hit on them.

00:02:43.000 Yeah, he's a boxer queen.
00:02:44.000 Yeah, finally he comes back down after I don't know how long I was down there bullshitting and then, if you drive on, we get to Chicago.
00:02:52.000 Now I'm really genuinely tired yeah, and he goes inside and somehow he finagles a room you know what I have so many thought, the remembrance of my dad, and it was exactly how you've described it no money and just somehow goes in there for Nagel the room.
00:03:08.000 Yeah, it was two, two young white kids like 19 and 20 we're.
00:03:14.000 We see, at the time I guess I was 23, he was a little older.
00:03:18.000 So, you know, he just gets these teenage kids or high college kids who were staying in the room together to get us to stay in the room with them and we ended up like sleeping on the sofa and you know floor and we just hung out with them the whole time.
00:03:33.000 At some point they were, they were thrilled that we were going to be staying in the room with them.
00:03:36.000 We were not ims yet or anything, but we were good at we were master on master, yeah.
00:03:40.000 So we just hung out with them and the whole day we're like, screw it man, these guys can stay in our room for sure, because they were just having so much fun and learning.
00:03:47.000 One of the guys won a prize because of us because his game.
00:03:51.000 He went from like being this mouse to just being like a yee man attacking chess player.
00:03:56.000 All straight up and we're like, what are you doing, mate?
00:03:58.000 You're that garbage?
00:03:58.000 Come on, attack!
00:04:00.000 What do you mean?
00:04:01.000 By the time we were going over games every day and it was so much fun.
00:04:05.000 My dad used to say that the game was so much better before computers and before this and before that.
00:04:10.000 He had a real distaste for the way it's kind of gone a little bit.
00:04:15.000 Yeah, of course.
00:04:16.000 Creativity died.
00:04:17.000 Yeah, creativity.
00:04:18.000 And he was a creative player.
00:04:19.000 He didn't mind to lose to do something stupid.
00:04:21.000 He didn't want to lose, but he wasn't afraid to lose.
00:04:25.000 He was willing to try some experiments.
00:04:28.000 But these days you try those experiments, they just fail.
00:04:30.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:04:31.000 And people just see right through them.
00:04:32.000 Yeah.
00:04:32.000 My dad said that.
00:04:33.000 He says, even if it works once, it'll work once only.
00:04:35.000 Like if you play a team sport or you play so many other sports with a ball, the wind can blow or whatever, there's always some luck involved.
00:04:41.000 But with chess, if you lose, you fucked up.
00:04:44.000 At some point you made a mistake.
00:04:45.000 There's no luck.
00:04:46.000 And it's the same with everything else.
00:04:47.000 It's the same with live.
