Are You Ok To Continue
Last post on UFC 77
A commenter noticed this on the party poker blog:
and getting to roll with A-list internet marketing celebrity, ShoeMoney and his crew, Dave and Brian, was highly entertaining. Go check out his photos for pics of him with everyone from Dana White, Matt Hughes and the Mickey’s girls.
Quick funny Shoe story. I secured VIP passes for he and his crew at Bang, our big pre-fight club party on Friday evening. Lotsa celebs were in attendance, including Jenna Jameson.
So anyway, Shoe doesn’t drink often. Compared to me, that is. But this evening, with the party in full swing, Shoe drank enough to lose his equilibrium and fall down right in the middle of the VIP room.
As he’s laying there, shaking his head, trying to clear the cobwebs, he feels a strong hand on his shoulder.
Shoe looks up and its the referee, Big John McCarthy, who says, “Are you OK to continue?”
Its so embarrassing… when I get really intoxicated i will fall. Its like all of a sudden I get a dizzy spell. I am totally fine otherwise. It happens to me like once a year. Brad, Dave and me went through a bottle of gray goose in about 2 hours… and we had been drinking quite a bit before that so it just caught up to me.
So I fall over… and this hand grabs me on the shoulder firmly and says “ARE YOU OK?”. I look up and its big john. How unbelievable is that? =P True story.
For those that dont get it Big John is a well known ref in mixed martial arts fighting. He always checks on fighters saying things like “Are you ok to continue”. Just comical out of a room full of about 200 people he is the one who checks on me.

To bad it wasn’t caught on video! That would have been hilarious, not you falling, but Big McCarthy asking you that. (Well okay you falling would have been funny to, but in drunk funny way)

LMFAO that’s classic!
Only happens once a year, eh..That’s what they all say
[Reply]
Wow that’s like a dream come true! haha. You couldn’t script it any better!

I love how booze doesn’t really hit you until it’s way too late. Unless, of course, you drink really slowly. I wouldn’t last a minute with the party set. I’m a major lightweight.

That’s one to tell the grandkids! Did Jenna look as ran over in person as she did in the photo you posted a while back?…lol that was bad…
[Reply]
Awesome story. Seems like Big John has a pretty good sense of humor.
[Reply]
Damn, first Marie Osmond, then Shoemoney, who will be next to fall?
[Reply]
^^^ that was funny, lol.
[Reply]
cool story… Big John ask if your okay, picks you up and sends you back in. Good thing he didn’t TKO you.
[Reply]
Hahaha. You got KOed from a bottle of Gray Goose.
[Reply]
Grey Goose? Come on man, something better than cheap vodka, you can afford it! Like Cognac!
[Reply]
Shoe, that story has a special term for it. When my buddies used to have an event/evening like that we’d use this word to describe it…LEGEND. Fits the bill for that evening. Feeling fine the next day.

What you talkin’ bout ? I’ve never been in a room with Jenna Jameson
[Reply]
There’s a time for everything.
I fell at a wedding once and I only had one beer. I had stupid dress shoes on and slipped while sitting down. A table of cute teenage girls laughed at me. That was not fun. The bar wouldn’t serve me again and the groom asked me if I was alright.
I wasn’t even drunk!
[Reply]
Too funny! Wish I could of been there to see Big John say that to you
[Reply]
aww…. he grew up
[Reply]
must be nice to be an “A list internet marketing celebrity”
