@@sschevmale24 Im 38 when I was 12 and my brother was in the hospital he came up to visit us and gave my mom a donation and since it was Christmas time he brought gifts, Everyone in Houston has the utmost respect for him.
@@sschevmale24 don’t rely on stories to determine that, you or literally anyone else can go talk to him right now. He is always at gallery furniture and will talk to any customer, he’s not hidden back in an office either bros always up front
@@thanosmaster-abel559 he's already donated part of the money because he's gonna give all the families that bought mattresses a refund and that's substantial
Anytime Houston needs help, Mack is always there. Anytime we have had a natural disaster, Mack even opens up his showroom for families to live in. He donates mattress, food, water and puts his heart and soul into Houston. While Cruz went on vacay during the freeze, Mack was here helping anywhere he could. Houston is grateful. The Astros gave us more to celebrate! We are so proud of the Astros!!
As a out of towner living in Houston full time now for about 8 years I can attest to this man being a local legend and more than that he is a good person. He does so much for the community and helps so many people who would not have any other chance if not for his generosity. Roll Tide Mac !!
During the floods he opened his furniture store first people to sleep and stay. They were allowed to stay on all the furniture. He's such a blessing to Houston. I'm 50yrs old and I remember he came to my middle school to talk to the kids about the dangers of drugs. Anybody remember those films they used to show in school of people overdosing and vomiting to get us to stay off drugs?
He is a very rich man, generous, thoughtful and down to earth. Gives out housefuls of furniture to 10 needy families yearly. Used to give out vacations to his employees, i don't know if he still does. Contributes time and money to his community.
Does anyone else remember his commercial about Aunt Minerva's couch? I'm 48 years old, haven't lived on the gulf coast for many years now, but STILL remember 6006 I45 North between Tidwell & Parker! I'll always miss Mattress Mack AND Marvin Zindler, who also did so much for Houston!
An absolute gem of a human being. He really found a great way to get the community together and create this unique experience of being from Houston and getting great furniture. In some way or another, mattress Mack has been involved in any Houstonians life by their parents getting furniture form there or a family member or something.
I just heard about Mattress Mack today in a video talking about how during Huricane Harvey, he opened up his furniture store for displaced people to have a place to sleep and he provided food for all of them. What an incredibly good man with a beautiful heart and soul. May he be blessed a thousand fold for all the good he has done for others. We Love Mattress Mack!!!!!!!!
I lived in Houston for 2 years ago but my father lived there for around 25 years so I would visit a lot. Just from those 2 years there and the visits in the late 90s "Mattress Mack" was someone everyone knew. Whether because of what he did for the community or his advertising. He's very good at inserting himself into the minds of the public.
@@Toketree we played the Phillies right before the playoffs start in Houston they took the first game we won the last two matter of fact we won 10 nothing
Remember when Mac bought his first Grand Champion Steer at the Houston Rodeo. All the big shot bidders were being fawned over in the front rows and Mac was sitting with the regular folks in the spectator section. He outbid all the big shots for the steer.
Mattress Mac truly is a gem. This man has done so much for the city of Houston. I honestly can’t think of a person as giving as Mac. I think he actually likes giving more than winning some of the bets he makes.
Рік тому+1
He has a catch phrase for every situation.. Gotta be an awesome grandpa to have.
When this guy first starting putting TV ads on air in Houston, I thought he was a total chuckle head. A few years later, a co-worker who was a former furniture salesman told me how Mac got started. 2 couches, an old rented house and a dream. This is why I love Texas. Unlike other southern states where I have lived and worked, it is not who you know, it is what you know and what you do that determines your success.
Not only that he help his community in Texas but also help other out of state that are in desperate need of support ! ❤️ wonderful guy ! He gain his wealth and give back to the community!! ❤️❤️🍍🍍 Go Astro !!
I don’t mind what he done . Right wing who cares . This guy has has bring joy to the city. Help young people with education. Help us when the city was at the worst. This guy is a legend
What's wrong with the right? They're for low taxes, strong borders, strong military, and small government staying out of our lives, what do you stand for?
Gotta love Mack. I love what he said about unity because its so true. At least we can escape for a few hours and feel unified about something. THANK YOU MACK!!....from FL but Im retiring back in Houston. Houstonians...really appreciate the quality of health care there because its nonexistent if FL!
The man really gives so much to the community. The bets just made him known nationally. I wish more people knew how he helps ex cons with jobs, gives to build charter schools, uses his building for shelter during emergencies.
@@Toketree people want a second chance if they served their time then they should have a opportunity. Most people don't want to hire them he has and doesn't seem to regret the practice. Your not forced to work with ex cons so don't be mad they get a opportunity with someone else.
@@Toketree if no one helps them they're gonna have to steal and go back to behind bars again? we'd have to deal with more crimes more than you think if you use your way.
Love Mac. He shows love for our community and our city. Do you agree one phrase will be remembered in the 2022 World series is --> DON'T MESS WITH MACK!! 😆 Besides the most chanted one --> WE WANT HOUSTON
Having spent 35 of my 46 years in the city of Houston, I can tell you right now that Jim McInvale is one of the better men that has ever delivered for an entire city. He doesn’t make promises, he delivers.
Risk to reward ratio: 1 to 7 Win: Risk 10mil to make 75mil Win: approx 10mil in furniture sales and customers are in debt. With astros lost. So he offsets - customers are payin his bet. Very smart man!
@@hakeemolajuwon4352 it'll be free if Astros win. Speaking from a born and raised htown native. Just highlighting that Mr. Well respected Mac will Win regardless of the results, as for the customers its a risk. He's a smart businessman.
@@hakeemolajuwon4352 The customers that are solely relying on "winning" the furniture. Those that can afford to make monthly payments on it are not at risk. That's all. I was speaking more his strategy
@@htown4010 Do you seriously think there are people that went to buy furniture that they can't afford on a gamble that the Astros would win the World Series?! OK buddy, you got me there
He is still $2 million in total loss after his winnings. He did not actually profit anything from his win. He just lost MUCH less than he would have. This guy gives away many tens of millions of dollars in both money and furniture.
There is a special place in heaven for him and his family. Winning is a small amount compared to opening his store to house families and feed them all as well.
so did he use the profit from the sales to make the $10,000,000 bet?? or just risking it all? They changed the title of this video after Astros won the world series lol. As a Phillies fan, I will say this is pretty awesome.
He's very rich. Gallery Furniture is one of the largest furniture stores in the nation. His promotions also increase sales. If the Astros lose then he's up all that profit from the increased sales. If the Astros win then he refunds the customers who spent $3,000 or more from the $75 million and still makes a nice profit. Remember, that $3,000 isn't what the furniture cost him. His wholesale price was far less.
He made A couple of very true statements or statements I agree with I should say the most important of which I always say politics and religion and other things pull people apart but sports brings people together 🙏🏼👍🏼💪🏼🇺🇸
I'm confused. He says he did a promotion for the Texans first game ever against the Cowboys and said the Cowboys won. That is not true. The Texans won.
Wait a minute the world series ended November 5 2022 but this video was uploaded 2 weeks ago with the title of the video about mack winning the bet. This makes no sense.
He opened his doors to help everyone during the hurricane while a certain Houston TV evangelist kept his closed. Mack is a legend!!!!
ABSOLUTELY ... perhaps a Saint among us ... Thankyou MM !!!
You mean Joel 😂😂
Smile
Amen 🙌
Amen to that. You were thinking of the very same instance that I was. We can pray that others take some of his model and put it into practice *hint-hint*
This guy does more for his city than the politicians.
Politics is about being reelected and not about working for your constituents, which is why I am for small government
How about he does more for the city than ANYBODY else?
#FACTS
infinitely more ... heart of a dozen lions ... stay well MM !!!
Betting isn't consistent with Christian or family values.
He’s the King of Houston, always helps out the community, he will forever be Houston’s King, long live Mattress Mack!

@@draneym2003 People in houston buy from his company because he always gives back to the city and other states when devastation hits.

Same. Agreed 100%
Genuine dude. Spoke at my kids school years ago and was happy to talk afterward and take photos. Hes out for good in the world. we need more like him
He spoke at my middle school way back in the 90's
Still will never forget this guy opening his doors to the displaced during Harvey... Just an upstanding guy.
Mack is what all gamblers dream to be
But In the end, his conscious is clear through helping the city directly…. No doubt he’s gonna donate part of that money if the Astros win.
@@thanosmaster-abel559 he's already donated part of the money because he's gonna give all the families that bought mattresses a refund and that's substantial

Great example for all for having a positive outlook in business and life in general.
Mac is a great Houstonian. He can't tell me who to vote for BUT you give credit where it is due. No one is a saint so you give him his due.
