After recording his TV show, Charles Barkley had a beer with his coworkers at the tv station. He then got in his car to drive to dinner. Charles was late for dinner, so he drove 80 mph on the turnpike.
While driving, he noticed his coffee cup from the morning had a huge spider in it, so he threw it out the window. While turning off the highway, he heard a loud thump, he looked in his rearview mirror and saw a person lying on the ground. Charles kept driving because he was late to have dinner with his friend MJ.
At dinner, Charles had shrimp and got really sick. MJ bet Charles $15,000 that the Knicks would beat the Lakers. The Knicks won, so Charles hit MJ in the face with a beer bottle and smashed a table before walking out of the restaurant.
