-My name is Thomas Alexander Bruso in Chicago, Illinois.
-Everyone's calling you Vietnam Tom.
-Is that right?
-Yes, so did you serve in Vietnam?
-I did.
-There have been millions of people that have seen this by now. Millions all around the
world.
At the beginning of the video, when you guys are having a words with one another, there
was something about spit-shining.
-I was talking about the clothes I was gonna wear to my friend Bob, who was my freakin'
passenger friend on the bus. We were going to Frisco to get some weed for our Arthritis
and pain and I was talking about, I'm gonna wear a power-blue-***' suit and a white
shirt and a red tie. He comes by and he like, "What you talkin' about, Stacey Adams spit-shining
brother-shiners. What you talkin' about?"
(unintelligible arguing)
I ain't prejudice. What, you think I'm prejudice?
"Man, you starting to *** me off. Get up in the front of the bus or I'll kick your
***." I says, "You know what? It's better to be pissed off than ..."
-Get the *** out of my face right now.
-Why you being so hostile, man?
-'Cause, I'm pissed off.
-(indistinct) You ain't scared...
-I'm 67 years old...you ain't scared of me. You ain't scared of me.
-I'll put my foot up.
-No, you won't. No, you won't.
-(indistinct) I'll wupp your ***.
-And you actually went to the front of the bus.
-Then I walked away. Saw me truckin'. Truckin' means walkin'. Walked up to my seat and sat
by Bob and I was shaking, I was so nervous and mad. "I'll beat your ***." And I told
him, "No, you won't." You're gonna get hurt today.
-What?
-Stop it. Oh, what the ***?
-Nuh-uh. Stop it. Oh!
-I told you not to *** with me! (indistinct) He *** hit me! He *** hit me first!
And his girlfriend was an accomplice, the one that stole my bag and my money. The little
black girl that videotaped it apparently, she showed herself stealing the bag. She put
the *** camera right on the bag and she walked away with my wallet and my keys.
-She did? You got ripped off?
-She got the *** thing on the camera.
-I got it on video.
(indistinct)
-No.
-The girl, his fiancee?
-Yeah.
-I talked to her and she's agreed to be on my radio show on Monday and you're saying
she has your stuff?
-I'll go out with you.
-So here's the thing. His fiancee's name is Tammy and--
-She stole my bag. Ask her about that. Ask her why she didn't return it right away. They
got it back when they found her.
-Really?
-And the police, the lieutenant gave it back to me. He said, "We got your bags, son," and
he gave me my bag back with all the only thing missing was my money.
-So, he's coming on the show on Monday.
-The black guy?
-Yeah, he said that he would kick your ***.
-What?
-He said that he would kick your ***.
-You tell that *** I'll give him seven chances and I'll wait another 20 years
and still whip his *** when I'm 103.
-And you're 67, right?
-That's right.
Want me to do a boxing match on the *** live TV? I'll kick his *** in 32 seconds.
-That's exactly what I wanted to do. That's what I wanted to do. Have you heard of Strike
Force?
-Yeah.
-I know those guys.
-I'm *** Vietnam his ***. I'll kick in the head. Seven feet in the air.
-All right, so we can either box or if you want to do MMA.
-I'll beat his *** so *** bad.
-Okay, so I know the guys that put on Strike Force and I know the people at Showtime.
-I'll do it.
-If I put it together--
-When I come back.
-And I think--
-I'll beat his *** again on live TV.
-By then, I think the YouTube views--
-What's the price of money?
-Well, that's what we could work on.
-What's the prize money? I'm a prize fighter. I'm a money fighter, man. You bet on me, you
come out seven you goin' to heaven. Talkin' about beating my ***.
-That's what he said. He said it on video after you fit him.
-I'll *** you up.
-Just since we've been talking, people have been stopping, waving, taking pictures. How
many people have come up to you since a week ago? Since then.
-Thousands.
-Yeah?
-And a teacher came up to me this morning and he says, you know ten thousand kids watch
your video this morning on school tape TV. And everybody went into the auditorium and
they applauded me and they said they'd like me to come to the school and be an honorary
citizen at their school.
-And let's be clear here. You're not a racist guy. Here's your best friend right here.
-That's Scott, black man. And he'll beat your *** *** with me. He's beat your white
*** *** with me.
-I wouldn't *** with you.
-Look at his teeth. Hey, Scotty! Scotty! Scotty! Look at me, Scotty. Look, smile. He got no
***--he don't like to *** show his--I knock them teeth out when he try to *** with
me and that's how we got to be friends. I'd beat his *** stealing my ***.
-Are you serious?
-That's how we met and we've been friends ever since. He's homeless, I let him sleep
on my floor.
-Oh, well that's a good man.
-Yeah, he's homeless. I bought him a bag of cigarettes and gave him five dollars and two
quarts of beer for it. I got a one-bedroom. I got a color TV and a bed and a bunch of
furniture and some money.
-Shoe-shine guy.
-Yeah.
-What's goin' on, buddy?
-So you saw -- Oh, I appreciate it. Thanks a lot, man.
-I'm listening to you right now.
-You're listening to my podcast? Did you hear the song I made about him?
-No, no.
-I made a song about you, too.
-You never thought that he would use his...
But you pushed him and his mind went on a trip
-Oh, snap!
-Uh-oh!
-He swung and knocked you in your face
If I had to pick, I'd say he won and you got second place
-I think for dessert you got disaster.
-You'd never thought that you'd be dropped like you did
-Oh, my God!
-But he hit you so ***' hard, it ...
-Damn!
-Every morning, I watch the video and smile
-Oh, that's awesome!
-'Cause you've thought you'd clown on a bus downtown but he knocked you down
Knocked you down
When Viet Nam Tom's Around
He'll knock you down when trying to clown he will knock you down
-I think I owe you this.
-When Viet Nam Tom's Around
Just shut your mouth
Shut your mouth and don't be a clown
-Yeah, it's your fault, you clown.
-She just died in the middle of August. I'm sorry to hear about that.
-I didn't get to see her alive.
-I'm sorry about that, man.
-My poor mama's died.
-Sorry about that.
-Like, a month from now, when he returns, by then, my guess is about 40 millions people
would've seen this bus incident. Michael, the guy that he stopped from hitting him and
he stood up for himself. Michael says he'll kick his ***, so I wanna set something up
through Strike Force and Showtime and maybe the world will end up seeing this. And I appreciate
it.
-And I will kick his *** again. 2 times is better than 1! 2 is better than 1! You will
get your *** kicked, Michael on Strike Force. You will get your *** kicked worse than Muhammad
Ali and Frazier. You will get your *** whipped.
-So, you obviously saw the clip.
-Yeah.
-What did you think about it?
-Umm...I thought it was pretty nice to see, you know... a guy came up and you walked away
from the fight and, you're like, "I don't want to mess with you. Don't mess with me."
Went and sat down. He came up and...
-Hit me in the face.
-Hit you in the face and...
-When Viet Nam Tom's Around
He'll knock you down when trying to clown
He'll knock you down
When Viet Nam Tom's Around
Just shut your mouth
Ride the bus and don't be a clown
