" Talking about three for free at -- We -- leave the water what do you know about hotel. Listen I've been Santa a lot of hotels lately the last six months and if somebody offered me. Which they have obviously the point -- six -- extradite for break I would love that I mean self indulgence is the greatest thing people love to. Treat themselves to things and I'd like somebody just give me -- gas these days you know but did what I had that basically got that's solved by just. Allowing you have another nice day for free is as a reward for abusing them and it's great big event that you want to be relaxed big advantage of it. Every American steer head this right -- to bring along somebody I'll put that -- gets a lot of guys. Yeah held up."
" 72 games you're in a sense robbed your moment of course the hostage situation you were taken out of their pretty quickly. Because everything that happened in Munich the is that tough to know the you've robbed them and us that was really -- you think about it that triumph for what I had accomplished the combined with the tragedy unfortunately. That became a news event and a sporting event to recognize and a much more grandiose ways. Then then you can imagine and there was a lot of talk about that for months and months and even you were still talking about it. The other thing is is that Olympic sports sort of fall by the wayside after Olympics over and somebody pointed out to me that. Most people couldn't even recognize or remember something that won a gold medal. Four years ago what happens I think Michael Phelps is taken that to a different level obviously now."
" I think that -- behind the real American stories -- project that we're not going to be they political conventions Islamic view. I didn't -- any of the real American story as well. We both don't you just something that you travel around the world speaking about your accomplishments right well."
" I'd done motivational speaker about pathways to success which is not so much about why I. Did what I did because I don't think that's important what I think was important about my messages is that you can be the person you want to be. By stop being. Doing what you're doing now and get a hold of your destiny because it's not a matter of chances about the choices that we make in life. And a lot of people I've met say well I would have done this that I would have done that I could have. And I'm not even knowing him I'm sure that they could have done everything that they said they could have but they don't want the absolute truth. Having done it and then all of a sudden discovering that they've failed but that you're a teacher or you're somebody and management it's easier to work on your. Pitfalls of the things that are negative by knowing where there aren't exposing them rather than speculate about them and we're having those being that famous -- years. You know. Ice -- so many different suit everytime I think I'm a retired I had about 5600 suits. But there was some it is funny story. Is that -- they gave us for the Olympics if you slam and one event they gave you. Course suits I was in seven events and they gave me all these suits and had a spot right -- and a very bad place. I mean some kind of an ink spot I don't know just the defects were brought so they found this suit that was one that didn't happen that. But the truth must be -- and I -- every single event and the same suit that I -- that suitcase that flexing that's good to my wall in my house and I keep my -- I keep my gold medals and a bank ball but I do have that suit that I who I you know that I wish I did get into that --"
" We're competing in 2008 you have to have a huge plexiglas thing because yeah he's ever seen things yeah."
" Idea that's right also that they have more than that because they ripped half the time when you put upon and it doesn't people that get a monthly."
" Here and that -- have our weekend folks that don't that they took much can't argue that they that's right good to have you you what's frightening."
" He was in times square with this thing. Some are calling these things technological -- You buy that no I would be doping in the sense that if the fact that it really prove that they were a penalty if you people had them but there were given to everybody who wanted one. That's 700 dollars a copy. I mean the promoters in on the company was graciously give all the olympians -- suits and there was no doubt. Our time running down the street in India. -- you run that fast yeah unfortunately decided. Yeah. On the executives look at he's attracted only the versus you can stay. Look exactly."
" To Michael Phelps now because he's going to get all of this. Attention his whole life is out on clay I don't."
" He needs any advice you know my mom told me that the only handlers I had was my mother and father. Now comes that this cadre of people that are as advisers or strategists in now is agents -- what have you he's got a great job of marketing himself from now of course being in Olympian. You can't make money in my -- of course you've made a penny. I would have been allowed to compete. I mean his biggest transition will be that he has a beautiful message to talk about and the question is whether or not he can formulate that in a way. That he -- can be you know be an expert at communicating that message and it doesn't. Baghdad are are you a little. Bitter about the fact that now professional athletes do compete because you know you get the dream team the -- Or whatever they -- they got all the professional tennis players -- those guys we have our best baseball players over there if it wasn't season. Well get out. I think that the only disadvantage that I had by not having professionalism in the sport was is that. I probably wouldn't retired at the age of 22 and I'm sure I wouldn't have gone to try to some seven gold medals again and the Montreal Olympic Games which -- the next Olympic Games back in nineteen. 76. But Michael's confronted with the same issues now and you'll probably go to London all to be 47 that you'll probably pick different events his motivations will be a little bit different. And of course it's in the best interest of the sponsors so people can see him so I mean a lot of people regretted the fact that they saw me all of a sudden it disappeared."
" Michael has the challenge now. Sustaining that support keeping it in the public -- he says you mentioned the Olympics it's every four years the kind of disappears some people's. Conscious about how does he keep it in the main -- keep. Does that that's an artistic. Question I'm not quite sure how he's going to do that this sort of reminds me of like a new year's revenue the resolution where you want to go on a -- you go to the health club. In January but how many people are still in the health club come February or march so the interesting thing is is that. Highs despite a lot of young kids. Who want to do something in his sport and I sure he's got people that have come off the bench and off the fence and have gone -- track and field and -- going to gymnastics. Because of the fact that they love what they saw on television and he's been an inspiration to the youth of the world. And that's a tremendous responsibility how he carries that forward and his actions not only innocent people but things that he says -- things that he does in life. And so you know people we watching him he'll be more under a microscope now that's the most difficult thing I think to get used to -- we may get a busy day. The website for that -- night deal it -- well let's. -- Three the number three for free dot com where they can just use the 800 number which is easier just. 8055. -- Got sick now save money get an extra day take somebody like there was a mustache."
" That's alluring thing."
" I didn't get more free days and the great to me all right Dave let's take a look at -- this fantastic god vehicle we've got over here it is going to be trapped."
" Leave the country it's called real American stories and it's something that fox has been -- if you if you watch box you know that we could run and that up. This commercials talking about real Americans. Stories and so it's going to be going to the convention out in. Denver and then it's going to be going to Saint Paul as well. And if you see it you should stop by because. You know it's like one of those things you might see it -- state -- up like that. And what you've got on the side are you have all of these stories of real American heroes were not talking about just LO cool today. Board Jack Welch we're talking about these folks like McCain can win Williams and their stories and how they adopted children from Russia. And you've got is interactive things we can actually watch some films. And it's really cool down -- that theory and will be -- steam room here there is this little TV studio. We you can actually -- your own. American. Story. You're real American story right there and there's a guy who's doing just that and if you do do you get a free teacher. Also but also I'd just take a look right here you've got a display of -- some of the equipment worn by some of the guys the kinds of stuff. A worn by the guys throughout time who represented our nation. And over on this stuff. Dave -- how cool is this stuff. To some more real American stories like -- get to grab a phone. -- like tall man. We should probably stop we make you look at all laptop those things he's been pretty big -- they weigh about two pounds. Very concept like more information check out real. I don't let us or real American stories dot com. For a wonderful stuff on that chicken and it's free. And you can get on the Internet and making national TV turner story and the see you later. --"
