It’d’ve felt like a candy W for Matt — however only a second later, as he is turning round, he is confronted by an older gentleman who will get proper in his face … and tells him a factor or two.
Test it out … the dude tells Gaetz — whom he addresses by final title, BTW — to cease being an “a**hole” … and you’ll inform Matt’s thrown off by the entire interplay. MG says he would not even know this fella, however the senior citizen holds his floor … staring him down.
Finally, Matt shimmies his approach round and will get out of the tense state of affairs — however that is actually nearly proper out of a film … a strong-willed do-gooder telling a bully to buzz off, and consequently — some assume the anonymous man right here acquired the higher of Matt within the trade.
The identical cannot fairly be stated for McCarthy although — dude stays getting clowned. Oof …
