00:00Well, a father and son were involved in a bizarre attack while stuck in a traffic jam
00:12on I-94.
00:13This guy gave a pretty interesting interview to Channel 7 about the whole ordeal.
00:18Here's the report.
00:19Take a listen.
00:20Michael Menges says he still can't believe what happened to him around 3 p.m. while on
00:25the highway with his son on I-94 near I-96 interchange.
00:30And traffic came to a halt and I was cut off by a Jaguar.
00:34Michael says everything took a bizarre turn when the man driving the Jaguar landed on the
00:39hood of Michael's Dodge Dart.
00:41So the cat comes across and he's like, you know, and does his thing and comes across and
00:47bam, bam, bam, starts banging on the windshield or the window with a knife in the sand.
00:51What do you think he was going for?
00:53I don't know.
00:53Maybe my life.
00:54I have no idea.
00:55Thank God Dodge builds a good window.
00:57Where do you think he was going to go if everybody was burnt in the highway?
00:59Well, there's a problem in the days it's called metal.
01:00I just want to.
01:01That noise you heard was him spitting something out of his mouth during that interview.
01:06It looked like a nail.
01:07You have to see the video.
01:08Was it a nail?
01:09I think it was a stump nail.
01:11Where do you think he was going to go if everybody was burnt in the highway?
01:13There's a problem in the days it's called mental illness, okay?
01:16And they shut down the institutions and this guy needs to go to one, okay?
01:19Because I don't know what he had in his mind, okay?
01:21But ordinary people don't act like this.
01:24Michael says he is grateful he and his son went unharmed, but adds he is certified in
01:29martial arts and says he could have defended himself if he needed to.
01:33But yeah, it would have been a different story.
01:34You just want to, you know, take a pat.
01:35And that would have been it.
01:37A pat.
01:38He reminds me of, like, Chuck Norris' brother.
01:42Yeah.
01:43That was lost.
01:45Fred.
01:46Fred Norris.
01:46Fred Norris.
01:47The unknown Norris brother.
01:50There's got to be people that know him.
01:51Oh, my gosh.
01:52Oh, sure.
01:53Michael Magus?
01:54There's got to be people that know Michael Magus.
01:57He seems like a character.
01:59I want to know people also who've trained with him in martial arts.
02:04I want to know where you get a shirt with that many colors on it.
02:07I don't know where you could do that.
02:08One side's green, one side's blue.
02:10It's got a pink pocket, a pink back.
02:12One arm's green, the other one's blue.
02:15He seems like a guy that would have a story for everything.
02:18Oh, yeah, he does.
02:18No, I bet he's been through some stuff.
02:20You know what I mean?
02:21He's been through some stuff.
02:23Yes.
02:23I don't know what's made him that eccentric.
02:26Something has.
02:28Sometimes you're just born that way.
02:30He's like Kenny Powers in a way.
02:32A little bit.
02:33That's what he is.
02:33He's like an older version of Kenny Powers.
02:36He's our very own Detroit Kenny Powers.
02:39I love the guy.
02:40I love the guy.
02:41I do, too.
02:42He's awesome.
02:43He's entertaining.
02:44That kick was impressive.
02:46Oh, my God.
02:47He would have kicked the boot out of the guy.
02:50Rob knows him personally.
02:52Detroit's Kenny Powers.
02:53Is that right?
02:55Yeah, I know him, man.
02:56So what's Michael like in real life?
02:58He is just over the top.
03:01You know what I mean?
03:01On everything he does, it's just unbelievable how over the top this guy is.
03:06But he's a good guy, though, man.
03:09I can tell he's a good guy.
03:10And he can kick extremely high.
03:14He did.
03:15He did.
03:17He can throw a knee kick, for real.
03:20No, it looked like it.
03:21I was like, that foot was up there.
03:23Like, he would have kicked someone right in the face.
03:25Oh, yeah.
03:26Back in the day, he showed me a news article that he got on a flight with multiple people,
03:30like 10 guys.
03:31And the news article said Mike Magus was seen kicking and punching numerous people.
03:37And apparently he won.
03:38He is Chuck Norris' unknown brother, I'm telling you.
03:42Or his son.
03:43Michael Magus has been in a Matrix fight scene.
03:45I can find that news article.
03:46Oh, my God.
03:46There's an article about this guy.
03:47He saved it, of course.
03:49He shows everyone.
03:50High kick for you.
03:50High kick for you.
03:51High kick for you.
03:52That's what I think it is.
03:54This man's a legend.
03:55Yeah.
03:56He doesn't realize it yet.
03:57Yeah.
03:57Here's another one who knows him.
03:59Jay knows Michael Magus, Detroit, now Detroit legend.
04:03Jay.
04:03I heard you talking about him, and I thought, this can't be that same guy until I heard about
04:07the fight in Plymouth.
04:08I was in that fight in Plymouth, too.
04:11Everybody was.
04:12You were in that 10-man fight?
04:14Well, so what happened was, he told the one guy, hey, wait, wait.
04:17You broke my glasses.
04:19Where are my glasses at?
04:21Or something like that.
04:22The guy was believing him.
04:23And then Michael grabbed him by his neck and started just kneeing him in his stomach.
04:27And then all the friends were like, I can't believe this guy just did this.
04:31You were going to let him go.
04:32He used the old, you broke my glasses, man.
04:35He said, ah, my glasses.
04:38Ha, ha.
04:39Ha, ha, ha, ha.
04:40Ha, ha, ha, ha.
04:41Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
04:44Michael Magus.
04:45Man, that Plymouth bar fighter, whatever it was.
04:48How epic is that fight, though?
04:50Like, that so many people are like, I remember that fight.
04:54You know, we got all the dudes from Plymouth calling in like, oh, yeah.
04:58We got him.
04:58We got him on the phone.
04:59Oh, good.
05:00He's on the phone.
05:01Thank God.
05:02Michael.
05:04I said, please the Lord, brother.
05:07Michael Magus.
05:09You know, Jesus is my best friend because he saved me in that incident.
05:13Oh, my God.
05:14That was a trap, man.
05:16Which one?
05:17The fight?
05:17If I could have gone out of the car, the guy would have been, you know, hey,
05:21we would have been talking a whole new story.
05:23But, hey, I couldn't get out of my life.
05:25What are you going to do?
05:26It's the man, the myth, the Magus with us here on the Riff Live.
05:29Yes.
05:29Michael, we started talking about your story on 94,
05:32but it's led us to discovering all sorts of things about your life from your
05:34friends, including the time you fought off 10 guys.
05:38Yeah.
05:39Paging all the Taekwondo.
05:40You know what I mean?
05:41You know, it's not too bad to know that stuff, really.
05:44So, 10 dudes, like, jumped you and your buddies, and you had...
05:48Well, this was Easter Sunday.
05:49I came home that night sucking on him.
05:51I couldn't chew.
05:52You know, I mean, nine guys come out of nowhere after I knocked three out in
05:55four seconds.
05:56And then, you know, it was a trip.
05:58Yeah, right on Main Street, downtown Plymouth, you know?
06:01Well, people are still talking about it.
06:02I mean, people are talking, like, they remember it like it was yesterday.
06:07Okay, so back to what happened on I-94 this weekend.
06:09So, you're just sitting in traffic in your Dodge Dart, and a guy in a Jaguar gets
06:13out and attacks your car?
06:15And we were traveling at a good 80 miles an hour.
06:18Oh, hey, 150.
06:20Hey, I won't lie.
06:21You know what I mean?
06:23And then the camera is on a freeway.
06:26I thought you could rewind these things.
06:27So, I got a hold of Channel 7 to find out that you can't rewind them.
06:34And I thought I had the guy.
06:35So, bottom line is, yeah, I'm on my way to a job site, traffic comes to our dad home,
06:40guy in a Jaguar cuts me off, and I almost swam to the lady in front of me.
06:46Now, he can't get out, right?
06:48So, he's flipping me off, I'm flipping him off.
06:51It's going back and forth.
06:52Now, this guy jumps out of a car and strikes from a hood on my right, pulls out a knife,
06:57and starts trying to break my window.
06:58Now, I'm scared.
06:59I really was.
07:00I'm not going to lie to you.
07:01So, I wanted to beat the living crap out of this guy, but I couldn't get out of my
07:04right.
07:05Ka-chow.
07:06Yeah, he did.
07:07And we saw the kick.
07:08I mean, we saw that.
07:09Yeah, you can kick, Michael.
07:11I think the guy on the news said, I had never seen a 53-year-old so limber.
07:16I said, man, when I was 18, I kicked a basketball rim 10 feet in the air.
07:20So, now that's up there.
07:22Yes, it's up there.
07:24I'm not joking.
07:25It's the truth.
07:26I mean, you know.
07:26Right.
07:27What are you going to do?
07:28Well, so, a couple things I've got to ask you.
07:31What was in your mouth that you had to spit out during the interview?
07:34Like, did you swallow a bomb?
07:35Oh, yeah, I don't know.
07:37What was weird is us chewing tobacco.
07:39Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:40The timing was off.
07:41Yeah, the timing was off.
07:42He should have been a little more professional to wait three seconds and then pick up.
07:47That's what I thought, too.
07:48That's what I thought, too.
07:49That wasn't my fault.
07:51I mean, believe that on the news, but Kyle Edwards was the bomb, man.
07:55That lady, oh, man, she said, I could talk to you all day, blah, blah, blah.
07:59She was so cool, man.
08:00How did you dig that shirt?
08:01How did you dig that shirt?
08:02Oh, that shirt.
08:02Oh, yeah, it was amazing.
08:03That was the next question.
08:04Where did you dig that shirt?
08:06A woman did call in to say she has the same shirt, but it's actually a female night shirt.
08:13You know, that's a darn shame.
08:15I wish I would have bought that one.
08:20I don't get it, man.
08:22Yeah.
08:22Yeah, that was a trip, man.
08:24That's a trip.
08:24I'm glad my buddy called me and said, you're all over 101, man.
08:28You've got to call him right now.
08:30Michael, thanks a lot for calling in, man.
08:32We appreciate getting your side of the story.
08:34Not a problem.
08:34Thank you, sir.
08:35Have a great day.
08:36All right.
08:36See you, Michael.
08:36Stay safe.
08:37Michael Magus.
08:38All the best, man.
08:40Whoa.
08:41You called down the goddamn Thunder Dave and you got it.
08:47That guy is a trip.
08:49He's been through some stuff.
08:51He's a character for sure.
08:52Yeah.
08:53Only a guy like that could get away with wearing that shirt.
08:56I'll be honest.
08:56Yeah.
08:57I'm glad he's on our side.
08:58Yeah, no doubt.
08:59You're right.
08:59You're right.
