The encounter that captivated the internet
In the now-viral footage, the woman is seen engaging in conversation with McIngvale, who is instantly recognizable by his signature cowboy hat and vibrant attire. As the interaction unfolds, she asks for his phone number, a request that appears to take McIngvale by surprise.
“Honey, I’m past my prime,” he told the fan named Monica.
His amused yet flustered response only added to the charm of the moment, making it a highlight of the Derby festivities. It should be noted that McIngvale has been married to his second wife, Linda, since 1981 and the two have four children.. He was previously married to American Olympic diver Cynthia Potter from 1975 to 1978.
Social media platforms quickly buzzed with commentary. Users expressed a mix of admiration for the woman’s boldness and amusement at McIngvale’s reaction. Memes and jokes proliferated, with many highlighting the unexpected nature of the encounter and the genuine warmth between the two individuals.
Mattress Mack: A familiar face at the Derby
Jim McIngvale, affectionately known as “Mattress Mack,” is no stranger to the Kentucky Derby. The Houston-based businessman has garnered attention over the years for his substantial wagers on the event.
In 2023, he placed a $1.2 million bet on the horse Angel of Empire, though the outcome was not in his favor . Beyond his betting endeavors, McIngvale is celebrated for his philanthropic efforts, including initiatives supporting foster families in Kentucky.
While the Kentucky Derby is often associated with intense competition and high-profile guests, this particular incident reminded attendees and viewers alike of the event’s lighter side. The spontaneous interaction between McIngvale and the woman showcased the human connections that can emerge in such glamorous settings.
As the video continues to circulate, it serves as a testament to the unpredictable and delightful moments that can arise during major events. For many, this encounter was a refreshing reminder that sometimes, the most memorable experiences are those that are unscripted and genuine.
In a world where viral moments often come from planned stunts or scripted content, the authenticity of this interaction stands out. It underscores the idea that genuine human connections, even fleeting ones, can resonate deeply with audiences and become cherished memories.

Like the Jets before them, the Steelers are making win-now moves to secure Aaron Rodgers
On the doorstep of the NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers were crystal clear about their quarterback situation. One way or another, additions — plural — were going to be made.“We go to camp with four quarterbacks,” Steelers general manager Omar Khan said, prior to the first day of the draft. “Right now we have two on the roster. All options are on the table in how we acquire those last two. I assure you we’ll have four when we get to [training camp in] Latrobe.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe draft has come and gone, with the sixth-round selection of Ohio State’s Will Howard adding to that room. This was an Aaron Rodgers move in a Steelers draft that was stacked with Aaron Rodgers moves. We’ll get to that in a second.

Kinclův velký risk před bitvou v Edenu. Je to hloupost, tvrdí Muradov o jeho výpravě
Thajské prostředí je pro různé infekce jako stvořené. Kincl se na začátku roku zařadil mezi ty, kteří bojovali se stafylokokem (bakterie, která se vyskytuje na kůži). „Myslel jsem si, že to bude otázka pár dnů a jednoho balení antibiotik, ale situace se ukázala být složitější. Dlouho se nic nezlepšovalo, ruka byla celá oteklá. Chvílemi jsem měl strach. Největší obavy jsem měl z toho, že by se infekce dostala do krevního oběhu a rozšířila se po těle. Následky by mohly být hodně vážné. Naštěstí k tomu nedošlo,“ vyprávěl Kincl v lednu a dodal, že si odvezl také pět stehů a pořádnou díru v ruce.Vstříc přípravě na klíčovou bitvu proti Muradovovi, s nímž si to na fotbalovém stadionu v pražském Edenu rozdá o prozatímní pás šampiona střední váhy, znovu, navíc poměrně překvapivě, vyrazil do horkého prostředí Asie, kde teploty každý den přesahují třicet stupňů. „Neustále ze mě teče, pokaždé mám pod sebou louži,“ […]

For Manchester United, the last five minutes of added time felt like an age.
