    I was a member of an all-volunteer underwater recovery team in Massachusetts for 20 years. I wish we had the equipment they have. We had to make do with what we had. We practiced going under the ice. Of course, we were always in recovery mode which was sad.

    The unspoken reason behind the "get behind them" is the natural survival instinct. The victim will push you under the water instantly and hold you under there to get a breath of air. It's not malicious, just basic survival instinct.

    0:22 this a really interesting way to celebrate Saint Paddy's Day, especially in Chicago.
    Also, I believe Mike mistook Ari Emanuel for his brother Rahm, who WAS in fact the mayor of Chicago at the time this was filmed, sometime between 2011-2019.
