36
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 4: going to be a legendary situation.

37
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 5: Feels legendary already.

38
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 4: It's already a legendary pre conversation that we actually had

39
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 4: for like a half an hour. So if you know us,

40
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 4: you know that you know we grew up in the

41
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 4: culture from music, sports, of course, entertainment. So one of

42
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: the pillars of our culture who's actually become an icon,

43
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: Steve Harvey. So Steve Harvey needs no introduction, But I

44
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: was telling him the story. My I'm not sure if

45
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 4: that's my first introduction, but like when it really became

46
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 4: like really really big.

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: For me was the Kings of Comedy.

48
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: And it's crazy that that happened over twenty five years ago.

49
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 5: Now the teenager say.

50
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: That I was younger than the teenager.

51
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go further back. I'm gonna go further back.

52
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 6: I remember what happened to wait up at twelve am

53
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 6: to watch a show time at the Apollogy.

54
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: Oh apollow that was before.

55
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 4: That was before what I'm saying the same time, right,

56
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 4: like you have to wait up to see it follow

57
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: that was legendary. But just to see the Kings of

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 4: comedy in the movie theater and to see his cultural impact,

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: like I never forget, like I had never seen because

60
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 4: I'm too young for like raw or you know all

61
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 4: of those.

62
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 5: So crazy.

63
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was before my time.

64
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: So that was the first time I actually saw like

65
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 4: a comedy show in a movie theater packed and people

66
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: talking about it, and people stealing the jokes and making

67
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: it their own jokes.

68
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: Like what it just became like a cultural phenomenon.

69
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 6: I think that might have been my first time crying

70
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 6: at theater. Why'd you cry because I was just laughing,

71
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 6: so oh yeah, yeah. Once I said we back got

72
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 6: up there, it was just like this is crazy. And

73
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 6: then d l and it was it was crazy. It

74
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 6: was I couldn't wait for the DVD to come out

75
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 6: to keep watching it.

76
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 5: That's how it was.

77
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 6: DVDs is what we used to put inside of the drive.

78
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: God damn forget it. Yeah, tell people, but you know,

79
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 4: it's crazy. Just to see the evolution. I told them,

80
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 4: it's just inspiring for me, Like we're actually at his

81
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: a state right now, and to see the evolution of

82
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: you know, somebody that was doing comedy and then it

83
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 4: was on TV radio and now just media mogul and

84
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: has grown a whole empire. Like, you know, it's inspiring

85
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 4: actually because we actually got to see it first hand.

86
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: We actually got to like witness the growth step by

87
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 4: step by step by step. So this is going to

88
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 4: be a dope conversation because I feel like a lot

89
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: of times people might they might see the surface, like

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 4: they see, you know, the celebrity, but they don't actually

91
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 4: see what goes behind that and how he's actually transitioning

92
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 4: the whole world of Hollywood with the conversation that we

93
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 4: just had. We have that conversation as well, reframing everything

94
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: and ownership and all of this stuff global vision. So

95
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 4: this is going to be extremely extremely high level conversation.

96
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: Dope conversation.

97
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 6: So it's dope because it's like we saw the entertainment,

98
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 6: but most people forget that there's a bit it and

99
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 6: so like they head here, what's gonna happen today? Man,

100
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 6: it's going to be one of those situations that they

101
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 6: gonna remember father.

102
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you for joining us, brother, I appreciate it.

103
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you for having us. Thank you man.

104
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: You know, one of the things like you were talking,

105
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: because what I learned very quickly that show business is

106
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: actually two separate words.

107
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 3: It's not one continuous thing.

108
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: See, you can have the best show in the world,

109
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: but if you don't have the business, then how would

110
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 2: people book you? How would people pay the ticket price

111
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: to see you? Why would people come? You know, if

112
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: you don't have the business. So you can have the

113
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: best show in the world, and if you don't take

114
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: care of the business, it won't work. You can have

115
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: the best business acumen in the world, but if you

116
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: ain't got no great show, or you might trick them

117
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: into paying you this money, and you might, but once

118
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: they get there and you don't have the show that

119
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: leaves up to the ticket price, you don't have a

120
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: repeat customer. So I always had to learn that show

121
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: business was two separate words, and I had to ask.

122
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 2: And at first it only starts out as being a

123
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: great show show me because you got to learn the business.

124
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 3: And over the.

125
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: Years I started focusing on the business, and that was

126
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: one of the biggest causes for my success because I

127
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: always understood that even with a promoter that booked me

128
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: or comedy club owner that hired me, I didn't go

129
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: in there just to be hired.

130
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: I went in there as his partner.

131
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 2: I wanted to sell his place out, so after he

132
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: paid me, he was successful, so he would want me back.

133
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: Over and over and over again.

134
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: And I kept that relationship whether it was a comedy

135
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: club owner or a promoter or a TV show.

136
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: That was my philosophy.

137
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 4: So I want to get into this. I understand you

138
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 4: have five core principles when it comes to considering business.

139
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 4: Dreaming big, dream big, use your imagination, show gratitude, overcome fear,

140
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 4: and have faith. Yeah, man, can we go over each

141
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: one dream, big, let's start with that one.

142
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: Everything starts with the dream.

143
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: Nothing launches without the dream that comes from your childhood.

144
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: From anything, it's the dream. It's the core basis of success.

145
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: See the thing with me, man, is that I don't

146
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: really focus on the technical aspects of business, because I'm

147
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: not the technical guy. I focus on the mental aspect

148
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: of business. I focus on the part that go on

149
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: in here, because if you fix what goes on in here,

150
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: you got a shot. Now, you technical ain't nothing if

151
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: you ain't got it set up. So the dream is

152
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: the core of everything. That dream, Man, it's biblical, you know.

153
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: Man without a dream or vision shall perish.

154
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: Listen about you.

155
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: Education ain't even in the Bible. I ain't never mind.

156
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: I ain't never read nothing about Harvard Emory. I ain't

157
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: never heard no Ivy League scriptures.

158
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: I've never All it talks about is that dream. So

159
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: that's the core imagination.

160
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: Now that's critical, because see what people don't understand, is, man,

161
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: this thing that you imagine is is a peak. Albert

162
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: Einstein had a quote he said, imagination is everything. It's

163
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: the preview to life's coming attractions. Oh, man, when I

164
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: heard that that tripped me out. Because here's Albert Einstein

165
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: setting it out that imagination is everything.

166
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: It's to preview to life coming attraction.

167
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: So everything that's in your imagination is God showing you

168
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: a preview of a coming attraction that He has for you. See,

169
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: So you can't don't let nobody play your imagination off.

170
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: Don't let nobody twist you about what's in your imagination.

171
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: Don't learn how you see that they ain't supposed to

172
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: see it. See, everybody not gonna see your imagination. You

173
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: can quit telling it to them. Because God wanted them

174
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: to see it. He to put it in their imagination,

175
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: but he put it in yours. So imagination is as

176
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: critical as the dream, because the imagination is just God

177
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: showing you a preview what he has to It's like

178
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: when you go to a movie and you get your

179
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: popcorn and you sit down before the movie start.

180
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 3: What do they show you?

181
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: They show you previews of what a coming attraction? Have

182
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: you ever seen a preview? And then the movie ain't

183
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: come out? Now, Bro, Once you see the preview, it's

184
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: send to be a movie.

185
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: You believe that. And that's how the imagination works in

186
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: your life.

187
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 4: I mean, as the third one is very interesting to me.

188
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 4: You show gratitude.

189
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: See, gratitude is one of the most overlooked and key

190
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: principles to your success.

191
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: If your goal is to.

192
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: Be a millionaire, and you start out making twenty thousand

193
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: a year and then God gets you to fifty, but

194
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: you're mad because you ain't a millionaire, be hold up, man,

195
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: do you not remember that just a minute ago you

196
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: wasn't didn't have a twenty, So you got to show

197
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 2: gratitude for the fifty.

198
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 3: Then somehow, by the grace of God, you get to.

199
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 2: It's people making one hundred and fifty who used to

200
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: be dead broke mad because they not a millionaire. Hold up, partner,

201
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: do you remember when you was just making the fifty?

202
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: Now you done triple that, And you gotta understand that

203
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: there's joy in the journey. So if you don't show

204
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: the proper amount of gratitude, you're never gonna be happy.

205
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 3: You're never gonna be content. And after a while, man,

206
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 3: God gonna get tired of you.

207
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: They're like, if you somebody come over your house and

208
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 2: borrow a cup of sugar. Every day, every day, somebody

209
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 2: come to your house and ask you for a cup

210
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 2: of sugar and you give it to them and they

211
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: walk away and don't ever say thank you. How many

212
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: times can this cat come to your house and get

213
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: this sugar without saying thank you to you?

214
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: Before you, as a human being, go yo, yo, yo,

215
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 3: my man.

216
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: You come here every day and I give you this

217
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: couple of sugar, you ain't said thank you want to

218
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: don't come by here no more. But through God's grace

219
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: and mercy he allow us to keep coming back. But

220
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: suppose you were grateful though, Maybe one time you go

221
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 2: to God and ask for another one fifty and he

222
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: give you five hundred.

223
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 3: Cause you didn't show gratitude.

224
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 2: Maybe sometimes when the guy that kept coming by your

225
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: house asking for the cup of sugar, if he would

226
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: show g gratitude, maybe you go, hey, man.

227
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: He go five pound cycle sugar. That way, you ain't

228
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: gotta come back tomorrow.

229
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: But if you never show the gratitude, you never become

230
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: the recipient of the grace. And the grace is to

231
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: what you need on top of that that helps you

232
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: get to the next level and take your place.

233
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: My wife asked me the other day, cause I just

234
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 3: turned sixty five, right, I was talking to my wife

235
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: and I said baby, I was just kind of kind.

236
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: I got a little throw it off a little bit,

237
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 3: cause even I'm human, you know, I got a little

238
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: throw it off, said baby. I just turned sixty five,

239
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: and I really was wanting a little bit more to

240
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: be popped off by now.

241
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: She said, way'm my hold up state. She said, let

242
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: me ask you something. When you was thirty, where did

243
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: you see yourself at sixty five? I said, well, I

244
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: ain't see this, She said exactly. She said, So you

245
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 2: could want all you want, but you need to go

246
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 2: outside and just drive around and go get in some

247
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: of your cars and see how you fly.

248
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: And just take a look around. And now I think

249
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: you be all right.

250
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 2: And I went on and sat down and go sit

251
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: down about overcoming fear, well, fear. Fear is the number

252
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: one cause of people not being successful because davage person

253
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: freezes theyself with fear and they never try.

254
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 5: You know.

255
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: It's like people are afraid to fail. Dog, that's the process.

256
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: I don't care who you talk to. I've watched y'all's interviews. Man,

257
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: y'all can talk to some bad people. I don't care

258
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: who y'all was listening, Big Ross Man, that boy cold,

259
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 2: you sit up and listening to Ross Man, and you

260
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: go this a hood. Dude's real simple. If you don't

261
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: understand ross it's because you don't want to. He just basic, dude.

262
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: But if you are afraid feel, it freezes you. And

263
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 2: people are afraid to fail. Failure is a part of

264
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: the process. You cannot get where you're going without failing, Pardoner,

265
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 2: you don't learn nothing winning. Michael Jordan took nine hundred

266
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: some game winning shots. He only made one hundred and

267
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: forty some of them. They don't write about the seven

268
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 2: hundred some missus, but you see he on Wheedi boxes

269
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 2: because in one hundred and forty six.

270
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: He made that.

271
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: Nobody gives a down that he has failed three quarters

272
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: of the time. He was willing to take that game

273
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 2: winning shot and hoping to make it. Now he'd have

274
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: made one hundred and forty six. So he got a

275
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 2: lot of rings on his fingers because he lost to

276
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: feel failure and failure, man, is a part of the process,

277
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: So you got to lose the fear of failing.

278
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: Man.

279
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: It's just a part of it. It's the deal. The

280
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 3: last one having faith, Well, that's the ultimate. See.

281
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: I was raised cool man because my father didn't go

282
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: to church ever. My father was a hoolum. He was

283
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: a hard working man, but my father was a hoolum.

284
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 2: He wasn't a gangster. My father was a hoodlum. He

285
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: did he had some legal activities with Don King in Cleveland,

286
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: and when I see Don King man, we just hugged.

287
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: Don King went to jail for manslaughter. My father knew

288
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: this dude. My father ran numbers with Don King in

289
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: Cleveland because in the winter time he worked construction, so

290
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: he wasn't working, so he was a number runner in Cleveland.

291
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: So my first job when I was ten years old

292
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: was a paper route, and my job was not to

293
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 2: just deliver the papers, but I had to go to

294
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: everybody's house off my bike. And remember where they put

295
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: their numbers. Some people put their numbers up under the

296
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: fender of their car. Some people would tape it under

297
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: their stairway, under their steps, rats and stuff under that

298
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: had get up there and get their taper. Some people

299
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: to put it behind their mail. Some people hand it

300
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: to you every morning. And my father was a hoodlum.

301
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: My mother was saved. She was a Christian. My mother

302
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: took her to church. That combination of his being doing

303
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: whatever he had to do to survive for his family,

304
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: measured with my mother's teaching us about God and prayer

305
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: and faith and scriptures has been the total cornerstone of

306
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: who I am.

307
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 3: My faith. See, faith is a belief in things that

308
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 3: you cannot see. Without that how you make it.

309
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: Because I'm finna ask God for something that I don't see,

310
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: No how, no way I can get it.

311
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: But I got the faith that one day I have it.

312
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: That's cold, man, that's a cold peace to lock it

313
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: into your mind. And people that don't have faith, that

314
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: don't have a spiritual background, I feel sorry for him, man,

315

Speaker 2: in God. Okay, you ain't gotta be He's still there.

319
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 5: You know.

320
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: I don't believe in heaven. It's still gonna be one.

321
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: One dude told me.

322
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: He said, well, hey, man, suppose you get there and

323
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: you find out it ain't no heaven.

00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 3: ain't no heaven.

326
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: You got a bigger problem if if you think it

327
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: ain't one day, and it is because now you've done

328
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: done what you wanted to do and now you ain't

329
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: going so faith man, all those five pillars are the

330
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: cornerstone though.

331
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 6: So I mean, there's a generation that has watched you,

332
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 6: like we spoke earlier, like my son knows you for

333
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 6: family feud and you know, like right, they've come up

334
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 6: in the world where you've always been successful, but that

335
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 6: always goesn't the case? And so those core principles how

336
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 6: would they developed throughout your career because I know, I

337
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 6: mean you started early.

338
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 5: You go homemost at one point, living.

339
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 6: Out your car, and so how did we start developing

340
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 6: these court principles? Were the experiences that would happen? And

341
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 6: he's like, all right, there's a lesson. They won't have

342
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 6: to go through it because I did. Here's what you

343
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 6: need to love, you know man.

344
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 2: It's that failure piece that teaches them to you. That's

345
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: why you got to lose your fear of failure, because

346
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: it's in the failures.

347
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: It's where you learn these lessons. You know.

348
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 2: My father used to say, ain't the best lesson you'll

349
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: ever learned is a balt lesson?

350
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 3: That lesson you pay for that, one's gonna stick with

351
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 3: you hard than anything.

352
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 2: So when faith is When I was ten years old

353
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 2: and I wrote on the assignment piece of paper what

354
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: you want to be when you grow up? And I

355
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: was ten and I wrote, I won't be on TV.

356
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 2: Okay Le's faith. I didn't know I couldn't, so I

357
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 2: just wrote it on. Bill Cosby was on TV in

358
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty six. So in nineteen sixty eight, when Bill

359
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: Carsby came on TV, the whole block cleared out.

360
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 3: Everybody went in the house. Watch Bill calls me. He

361
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 3: was on I spy.

362
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 2: Here's a black dude that was talking on television to

363
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: white people and telling them what to do.

364
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 3: Oh man, we were sitting in there all day.

365
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: So two years after that, when Lady asked me what

366
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 2: I want to do, I said, I want to be

367
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 2: on TV.

368
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 3: Now.

369
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: Through all of my hardships, I did not get on

370
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 2: TV till I was thirty six. It took twenty six

371
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 2: years for that little piece of paper to ring true.

372
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: That took a lot of faith.

373
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: But in there in between now the homelessness, the losing

374
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: everything I ever earned, I ever ever had Twice, I've

375
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 2: lost everything twice. I lost it all when I was homeless.

376
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: I lost it all again in two thousand and five.

377
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: I was zeroed out.

378
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: In two thousand and five, I had one thousand, seven

379
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 2: hundred dollars left king with a comedy all that a divorce.

380
00:18:52,920 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, her lawyer was outstanding. I was in court clacking

381
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 3: for him. Yeah, he was so cold. I was in

382
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: heath in court room going next thing I know, I

383
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: ain't had nothing. This dude was gangster man, you know.

384
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 5: And then I asked some.

385
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: People had stole some stuff from me, and accounting and

386
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: all types of stuff happening.

387
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 3: I lost everything, But in those dark.

388
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: Moments was when I learned, Okay, faith is belief in

389
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,479
Speaker 2: things that you cannot see.

390
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 5: I don't know how.

391
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: Much rise up again, but I gotta believe that I am.

392
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: And then you got to keep that imagination that I

393
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: saw since I was teen, and I was gonna.

394
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 3: Be on TV. So that imagination I had to keep

395
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 3: relying on that because.

396
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: That's all I had, you understand, and then the dream

397
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: was to get on TV, and I had to keep

398
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: that in my head even through the darkest moments, because see,

399
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: if you mastered a mental aspect of it, when the

400
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: stuff is happening that comes into play. You remember all

401
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: the scriptures my mama taught, today is the day that

402
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad.

403
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: And she say that to me every day I went

404
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 2: out of school. I was so tired of hearing that.

405
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: But man, do you know how cold that thing.

406
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 3: Stuck with me? That today is the day He made?

407
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: And since I had to learn something in adversity, this

408
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 2: is what I learned. I often ask people. I said,

409
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: how many of you all have ever had a bad day?

410
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 2: And the audience raised their head. How many of y'all

411
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: have had days where you felt like you wasn't gonna

412
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: make it?

413
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: And everybody raised their head.

414
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: How many y'all have had days where you thought you

415
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: you just didn't know what you was gonna do. Everybody

416
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 2: raises they hand. I said, now, let me tell you

417
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: something about yourself. Your track record for surviving hard days,

418
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: days you wasn't gonna make it, thought you weren't gonna

419
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: make it, an insurmountable days, your track record for surviving

420
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: those days is one hundred percent.

421
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 6: That's great. I used to say that to my coworkers.

422
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 6: I was when I was teaching, and like I had

423
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 6: a terrible day. They were like, why are you always

424
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 6: so happy? I'm like, if you had a terrible daddy, right,

425
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 6: really internalize that, how many good days have you had

426
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 6: to have to realize that this one wasn't as good

427
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 6: as the other ones? Like, yeah, you're right, I'm yeah.

428
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 6: So let's just be thankful for this moment. We might

429
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 6: not get it again.

430
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 3: But every bad day you've ever had, you survived it, exactly.

431
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 3: You got a one track record. Everybody in here, everybody watching,

432
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 3: got a one hundred track record of surviving funky ass

433
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 3: days everybody.

434
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: So now, once I know that when them funky days come,

435
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: I'm rest assured that even if it lasts for a

436
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: week or two six months, I'm gonna survive it. Because

437
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 2: if you wake me up in the morning, man, that's

438
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: a clear sign to me that he ain't through with

439
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: me yet. So I feel like I'm almost out of it,

440
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: and eventually you're gonna get out of whatever it.

441
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 3: Is, you know. So let's let's talk about this.

442
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 4: Steve har Global, So that's that's all your companies are

443
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 4: underneath that, right, So I want to talk about the

444
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 4: family feud Africa. But first I'll pick up on a

445
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 4: conversation that we just had as far as you realizing

446
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 4: that you wanted to change things up. How usually Hollywood

447
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 4: is done where you wanted to eliminate like the traditional

448
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 4: agent route, hiring a full time attorney south of Brandon

449
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 4: and actually, you know, doing the deals yourself, negotiating the

450
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 4: deals with yourself, you and your your attorney and not

451
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 4: having to pay the percentage and not having to go

452
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 4: through all of the hass or of dealing with the

453
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 4: traditional So can you.

454
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: Talk about that a little bit.

455
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, See, it took me years to come to this

456
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 2: because Hollywood is a system. They have an ingrained system

457
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: out there. Man, you come out here, you get an agent.

458
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 3: Then then a lot of them got a manager too.

459
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 2: And then when you sign a contract with a Hollywood attorney,

460
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 2: they five percent of your contract.

461
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 3: For the duration.

462
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: So if you sign a five year deal, they get

463
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: five percent of your money for five years, and everybody

464
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: falls into that deal many because they lock you in.

465
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 2: And then what's crazy, what I found out was is

466
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: not a lot of agents that's beating the bushes to

467
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 2: procure you employment. They simply list you on their roster

468
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: and when somebody want you, they go online and your

469
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: name is under this agency's roster. And they call these

470
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: people now because they picked up the phone. Now their

471
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 2: ass is in for teen percent. Now when they come

00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 3: Yo.

00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 5: Man, man, you're doing it in California.

497
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 2: And that that's real, man, that's real talk. That's why, man,

498
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: Hollywood is the land of illusion. Most of us man

499
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 2: are not making what y'all think we making.

500
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 3: We just not man, because we.

501
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 2: In that system. And it's not just cause you stupid

502
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 2: or nothing. It says you get caught up in the system.

503
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: So as the years went by, and I I'm just

504
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 2: not getting free of this, you know what I mean.

505
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 2: It took me a long time to figure it out.

506
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: So I said, wait a minute, man. So I had

507
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 2: this lawyer that was doing some deals for me with

508
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 2: a business. I had this this guy named Brandy Williams,

509
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: and he was black, and he was with this huge

510
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 2: law firm, the acquisition merger firm, right, and he used

511
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 2: to come up to Chicago and do deals some man.

512
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: I just liked him.

513
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 5: Man.

514
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 2: So one day I was sitting up, Man, I was

515
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 2: watching Godfather and I was watching my favorite movie Man,

516
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 2: and Tom is the concilier or whatever that name is

517
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: for the family, right, But he's not Italian, and he's

518
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: not he's not a maid man or nothing. But he

519
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: cut the deals for the Godfather. And I was sitting

520
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: there really watching that movie, one of my favorite movies.

521
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: I said, man, that's what I need. I need a

522
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 2: tom somebody had just cut my deals. So Brandon Williams,

523
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 2: some years ago we hooked up and I just approached

524
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: you one day. I said, Man, I ever thought about

525
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: doing something else? And he said, nah, I'm really good

526
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: where I am. Yeah, but that's cause you know you

527
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: in the system too, bruhs. So just let me talk

528
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 2: to you for a little bit. And we talked about it.

529
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: I said, Man, I'm gonna travel. I'm'a travel the world. Man,

530
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 2: I'm finna be global. I'm gonna bema. I'm gonna take

531
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 2: my brand and spread it across the world.

532
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna just sit here on United States TV.

533
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 3: I wanna go be global.

534
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 2: I said, Man, we can travel, We can do this,

535
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 2: and he said and then he went home and talked

536
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 2: to his wife. And like we often joke about how

537
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 2: much smarter our wives are in US, and y'all don't

538
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: get to see them in the background with them women, man,

539
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 2: cause they know who they really are. She said it's

540
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 2: a no brainer, and he had a conversation with a

541
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 2: mom who's a lawyer, and next thing you know, he

542
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: came back and we formed a relationship.

543
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 3: And it took me some.

544
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 2: While to get out of some of the contracts I

545
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: was in. But after a while, as contracts was ending.

546
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 3: I got rid of the lawyer.

547
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: I said, hey, man, you read that paperwork and tell

548
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: me what to say, because only section I can really

549
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 2: understand his compensation.

550
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 3: Once you type in the word WinCE, I get lost

551
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 3: cause I don't know how to ma now I'm reading

552
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 3: the Bible. Now whence further mold.

553
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 2: That's why my Bible is the New Living Translation, because

554
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: I need just regular English words, man, because once you

555
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 2: say furthermore, whence hence after, I'm out. So I got

556
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: him in there, slowly, but surely over the years, as

557
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 2: contracts would inspire, I would take the lawyer out of this,

558
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 2: take the lawyer out of that. And then I got

559
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 2: smarter and I said, I don't really need an agent.

560
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 2: You know, I got some agents that do IMG does

561
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 2: some stuff like we're in partnership with miss Universe and stuff,

562
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: and that's a whole nother story. But we in business

563
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: with some stuff, and I'll allow you to package to

564
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: deal for me. But that's between you and the network.

565
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 2: But as far as now in my life, now, nobody,

566
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 2: ain't nobody getting ten, ain't nobody getting five. I found

567
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: a way to just keep them out. And you know

568
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 2: that ain't bad business man. I'm just why would I

569
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: You're not doing nothing. I'm the one got to put

570
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: these suits on, to turn these corners and create these

571
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 2: jokes and solve these problems being attained and not you, man.

572
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: So it was a really blessing from God man that

573
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: taught me that side of the business. And it's bought

574
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: a lot more of the money to my side of

575
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 2: the dam.

576
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 6: And so when you do things like that, it obviously

577
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 6: allows you to pay more to the people that you have.

578
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 6: Why do you think that more people in Hollywood, the

579
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 6: beast of Hollywood, are not taking that approach?

580
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: Well, I just think, man, you get caught up in

581
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,239
Speaker 2: the system and it's comfortable and it's easy, and you know, look, man,

582
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: you gotta look at some of these big boys out here.

583
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 3: They make it so much money. You know, you look

584
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 3: at Tyler and Denzel and Samuel al and these boys

585
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 3: is I me and will will smell these dudes is

586
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 3: really making money? Man? You know, I mean they may

587
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: listen to me, they they make it. M they they.

588
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: Scraping it so and I don't really know their particular business,

589
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: but you know, if you make an X amount dollars

590
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: and you know, off to dribble and you comfortable, and

591
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: you got a team sometime comfort cause you don't wanna

592
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: have you.

593
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: Gotta get a lawyer. M you do have to get

594
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 3: a lawyer.

595
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: I'm just not finna pay you five percent. You know,

596
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: why don't you tell me what your hourly rate is,

597
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: how many hours it take you to cut this contract?

598
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: And even let that be your money. But you get

599
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: into TV business, it's like that.

600
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 3: Now.

601
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: I would think of Denzel cause he's such a brilliant

602
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 2: dude man and his wife paul Letta, I'm pretty sure

603
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: she done sat down figured this out.

604
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 3: Hold so and Tyler.

605
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: Tyler's a gangster two because Tyler, I think has done

606
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 2: more in our lifetime. Man, in this generation, I don't

607
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: think there's been anybody black that's been more successful than

608
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: this dude in terms of ownership. Now, the queen was

609
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: Oprah for a long time, Oprah ain't no joke, but

610
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: she teaches it to us. She then told me Steve

611
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 2: got to get ownership. That's Tyler's whole mantra. But I think,

612
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 2: what what Tyler Finney do of late gonna change the game?

613
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: He's finished, He finish, go past everybody.

614
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 5: So just really quick.

615
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 6: So even like the shows that had your name as

616
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 6: a title, So we had to Steve Harvey Show was

617
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 6: on WD and obviously you have to see Harvey Show

618
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 6: on NBC Talk show the license in the name or

619
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 6: how does that work? There was no ownership of ours.

620
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: See, I didn't get I wasn't a business man when

621
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: Steve Harvey Show was out, was just happy to.

622
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: Be on TV. You know. I just took my check

623
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: and went out and said I owned twelve percent.

624
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: Of the show back in. But I learned real quick.

625
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: In Hollywood, you never see back in. They got a

626
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: different type of arithmetic. It's like the music industry. The only

627
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: people that you make true back in with is book people.

628
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: Book people are the most honest people I've ever done

629
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 2: business with.

630
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: Books. They're honest. Music and TV, you're.

631
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: Not gonna get no back in partner, how man, By

632
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: the time they get through doing their arithmetic.

633
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 3: I ain't made back in.

634
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 4: On none of my shows ever, because they're saying they

635
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 4: didn't hit the numbers that they were supposed.

636
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 5: To hit, even in syndication.

637
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: Bro Steve Harvey show never saw back in. Never. I

638
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 3: just it's just crazy, man.

639
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 2: So I started figuring that out and knowing, Okay, you

640
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: know my business with Freemantle, which is one of the

641
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: best companies I've ever dealt with. They're very honest and forthright.

642
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: But when I signed a deal to do Family Feud,

643
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: you know, look, man, Family Feud was a twenty year

644
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: franchise and they had owner ship and they couldn't get

645
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 2: you know, I was going through tax problems back there.

646
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 3: I just wanted to check. So I took the check.

647
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 2: Over the years, I still couldn't get ownership. But since

648
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: I can't get ownership, I'll tell you what, though, I'll

649
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: tell you what. I might not have ownership, but you

650
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 2: don't feel like I'm won. And so we've negotiated really

651
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 2: nicely with them and me.

652
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 5: The longest running host in the history of the show.

653
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 3: And it's the number one syndicated show on Earth.

654
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 4: Speaking of Family Fud, so you have an unprecedented deal

655
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 4: with Family Feud where you actually produced the.

00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 2: Because I'm asking people questions, I have no idea what

739
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,920

741
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,640

Speaker 3: like pop pop, the hell is pop?

745
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 2: Though all this stuff was on the board, so it

746
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: was really funny. And then it was a language barrier

747
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 2: because the accents. There's two thousand languages in Africa and

748
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 2: you got tribes coming in as families, man dressing up

749
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 2: and they use they speaking English, but they have heavy

750
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: accents to me, but I'm the one on everybody understood

751
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 2: them except me.

752
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,360

753
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 2: And they names, We couldn't even fit their names on

754
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 2: the cards. I mean they got some names man that

755
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 2: you'd have to put a name plate on these people.

756
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: And it was so funny, man, it was. It was

757
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 2: the funniest. It's the funniest show I've ever done.

758
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 3: Was that. And then once we got it on the air.

759
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 2: They couldn't believe we it did it and then it

760
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 2: aired and we were the number show in South Africa

761
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:12,600

Speaker 3: talking about Africa.

782
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 4: You see a lot of opportunity in Africa, right, like

783
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 4: outside of just doing the show, I understand that, you know,

784
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 4: you're looking at Africa as a place to do investments

785
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 4: and things down nature. Talk about that as far as

786
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 4: because we actually had the opportunity to go to Africa

787
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 4: for the first time a few months ago, went to

788
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 4: Nigeria and we went to Egypt. And it was due

789
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 4: for us because the way, you know, people was tapped

790
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 4: in with our podcasts out there.

791
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 3: They love us out there and they were saying.

792
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 4: Like, maybe you should do this out here, you should

793
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 4: do an actual Eyo university, Like here we're actually teaching

794
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 4: people about financial literacy and just to see the enthusiastic spirit.

795
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 4: It just let me know that there's so much room

796
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 4: for opportunity out there, like just from us looking at

797
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 4: so I'm curious to hear your standpoint.

798
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: But see for you all to go over there is

799
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:10,959
Speaker 3: brilliant because you all are forming the bridge. That's my goal,

800
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 3: is to create the bridge between African Americans and Africans

801
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 3: because there's more of a similarity than we Like. When

802
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 3: you was over there, it looked like you recognized all

803
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: of them. They look just like Detroit. He thought you

804
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 3: was in Philly. I mean the way they walk everything

805
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: I thought.

806
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 2: I saw so many people I knew because we are

807
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,919
Speaker 2: so similar in design, the way we walk, the way

808
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:37,439
Speaker 2: we move.

809
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 3: It was just amazing. But what we got to do, man,

810
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 3: is create that bridge.

811
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 2: Like brothers like yourself who go over there, whose podcast

812
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 2: is probable, but who can teach and share what we know.

813
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 2: You know, I'm trying, Like all the young Africans want

814
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: to come to America. But I tell them, I said, look, man,

815
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 2: you sure, you sure you want to come over here

816
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 2: and be in this This is what you think it is.

817
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 2: See when I'm in Ghana or South Africa and I

818
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 2: get stopped by the police.

819
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: Guess what I get. I get a warning, I get

820
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 3: a ticket, or I'll give them a hundred dollars in

821
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 3: I drive home and I got a hundred dollars. So

822
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 3: chances are I ain't got a ticket. Check to be

823
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 3: speeding my ass off.

824
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 2: I've never since I been over there, saw on the

825
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 2: news or nothing that somebody got pulled over by the

826
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:37,959
Speaker 2: police and got shot.

827
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 3: They don't shoot you in Africa.

828
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 2: I said, man, y'all, sure, y'all won't come over here

829
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 2: because you all don't understand that. And then when you're

830
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 2: in South Africa you hear about the difference between the

831
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 2: blacks and the colors. I said, well, let me help

832
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 2: you out with that. You come to America, you ass

833
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 2: is black. You can call them colors over here if

834
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 2: you want to, and you can call them black. But

835
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 2: you come to the United States, your ass is fit

836
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 2: to be black. So you sure you want to come

837
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 2: over here. I think it's more beneficial for us to

838
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 2: go home. See, this is how I describe it. America

839
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 2: is my home. This is my home, my children in here,

840
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: my grandchildren in here, A lot of my.

841
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 3: Business is here, But Africa is my homeland.

842
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 2: Me going to Africa is like going to a place

843
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: called home that I've never been. When you land in Africa,

844
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 2: you immediately feel good, don't you. Doug is crazy because

845
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 2: you home, Doug, this is where you're from. You'll feed

846
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 2: me along on this soil we was ripped from there.

847
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 2: So when I'm going to Africa, man, it's the place

848
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 2: I get to walk around and I'm good all the

849
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 2: time because the majority of the people look just like

850
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 2: me everywhere I go, and that's a warm feeling.

851
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 3: Man.

852
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 2: And if I could take what we've learned over here

853
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: as African Americans and share that with them and empower them,

854
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 2: that becomes great. But I think what people don't understand

855
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 2: is how rich of a continent Africa really is.

856
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 3: Do you realize, man, it's the.

857
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 2: Only country in the world that don't have to import nothing.

858
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 2: They don't need your food, they don't need your energy,

859
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 2: they don't need your gold, they don't need your diamonds,

860
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: they don't need your cold, down't need your uranium, they

861
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 2: don't need your plant they don't need nothing. Africa is

862
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 2: the only country in the world that they don't need

863
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 2: your oil. You they ain't got to import nothing. But

864
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 2: they've been over there just raped colonialization, the Dutch, the Portuguese,

865
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 2: the Spanish, the French, the Chinese.

866
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 3: They just over there just raping them, man.

867
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 2: And so if we can go over there because they

868
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 2: got they got hey, man, they got money over there.

869
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 3: They got some dudes over there. That's just making some

870
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 3: I was.

871
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 6: It had me thinking, But as you said, everything is true,

872
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 6: and it was like, all right, you were going to

873
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 6: the UAE and not only bringing any food to Africa

874
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 6: but bringing festivals, and we were supposed to meet at

875
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 6: the last one ye, So why was it important to

876
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 6: do it specifically in the UAE.

877
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 3: Well, See, the UAE is very different from me.

878
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 2: I'm accepted over there, like like I never thought I would.

879
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 3: Be, because the ua for me is like it's like

880
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 3: they like brothers. Man.

881
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:40,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I'm so enamored with the UAE. Now

882
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 2: the draw for me in the UAE, it.

883
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 3: Is unbelievable peace.

884
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 2: If you want to go somewhere and walk down the

885
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: street and not have to worry about crime. If you

886
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 2: want to go somewhere and walk down the street and

887
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 2: not have to worry about racism, police, brutality, corrupt government,

888
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: then go to the UAE.

889
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 3: In the Middle East.

890
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, I don't know of a

891
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 2: place on earth like it. There's no crime, don't buy

892
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:16,600

Speaker 2: Ain't no shootings, ain't no armed robberies. Ain't nobody getting stabbed.

899
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 2: that makes them who they are. That you get a

900

936
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 4: end and stuff like that.

937
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 3: So it's interesting that you say that.

938
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 4: So, like, what are some things that you learned as

939
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 4: far as like do you always try to negotiate, like well,

940
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 4: just for young people that's coming up, like EP credit

941
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 4: or like get paid up.

942
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 3: Front or some level of ownership, Like what are some terms?

943
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 4: Because I feel like a lot of people just don't

944
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 4: know the information and you can't even ask a question.

945
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 3: And if you're not equipped with some level of knowledge, the.

946
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 2: Best thing I can tell you is if you have

947
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:13,720
Speaker 2: an idea, before you go around the town pitching this idea,

948
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 2: have your paperwork in order.

949
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 3: Make sure you have the.

950
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 2: Domains for that name, make sure you have the ips,

951
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 2: any trademarks.

952
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 3: Before you walk around.

953
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 2: Pitching your idea, have everything on paper, get your trademarks,

954
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 2: get your IP. Because that's it ownership. Nobody's done it

955
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 2: better than Tyler Perry. This guy right here is complete

956
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 2: ownership of everything he do, so when he go to Hollywood,

957
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 2: he can do it the way he wants to see.

958
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 2: It took me a while to learn that part of it. Man,

959
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you something. Man, I don't know how

960
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 2: this is gonna go with the country, but this is

961
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 2: a a long time ago. In the ninth I created

962
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 2: the show on the w B called Steve Harvey's Big Time.

963
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 3: Do you know what Steve Harvey's Big Time was?

964
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,479
Speaker 2: Because they didn't believe me when I told them, y'all

965
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: ought to take showtime at the Apollo and put it

966
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 2: on mainstream TV instead of having me come on at

967
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 2: one o'clock in the morning.

968
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 3: I used to tell them that, no, you can't do that. No, no, no,

969
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 3: no no.

970
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 2: So I said, well, let me give him a version

971
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: of it. I said, let me create Steve Harvey's Big Time.

972
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 2: So I went to the fledgling network WB and they

973
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 2: put it on. I didn't have the business of it.

974
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 2: I should have owned the IP, the trademark, cause you

975
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 2: know what Steve Harvey's Big Time was. I had acts

976
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 2: from all over the world come on the show. I

977
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 2: had three judges and I had a host that stayed

978
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 2: on TV two years. It ended May tenth, two thousand

979
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 2: and five. I was in the middle of a divorce.

980
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 3: My head was cloud I didn't have the business along

981
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 3: comes the show called America's Got Done. He's gonna say that.

982
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 2: Yep, you know what America's Got Talent is. Shows come

983
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 2: from all over the world, different acts.

984
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 3: They got three judges and they got a star. Well,

985
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 3: guess what. That's my ip, that's my concept, that's my

986
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 3: whole thought.

987
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 2: But I ain't had no business for it. Look, man,

988
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 2: the first year of America's Got Talent was all acts

989
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 2: from Steve Harvey's Big Time, and they took all the

990
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 2: producers I had from Steve Harvey's Big Time and gave

991
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 2: them jobs. If I understood my business, America's Got Talent

992
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 2: would belong to me, and Steve Harvey would not be

993
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 2: sitting here talking to y'all.

994
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 5: Thinking in my mind like I could.

995
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 6: Once you were describing them like I know what America's

996
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 6: Got Talent. Then obviously Nick Kennon another guy who was

997
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 6: doing incredible and media.

998
00:50:58,120 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 5: I feel like that could have been you hosting it.

999
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,760
Speaker 6: But I want to go something because you said something earlier,

1000
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 6: and it just caught my mind about the most honest

1001
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 6: people being the people who.

1002
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 5: Are writing the books.

1003
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 6: And so I know you wrote you've written three and

1004
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 6: the fourth ones on the way, but from those books,

1005
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 6: you've actually turned those into movies. Right, So think like

1006
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 6: a man obviously one of those those classic movie What

1007
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 6: was that process like in terms of ownership?

1008
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 5: Right, because now it's your ip, the book that's turned

1009
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 5: into it. I know you're the voiceover in the movie,

1010
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 5: and so what was that process like?

1011
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,959
Speaker 2: That deal wasn't bad for me, It should have been better.

1012
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 2: I did once again, I missed a couple of points.

1013
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 2: Now the book completely mine. I've made more money from

1014
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 2: that book, man, I can't even tell you. And I

1015
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 2: still get checks. They still send your check. I get

1016
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 2: paid every April first and every October first, and I

1017
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 2: still get checks from the book. I don't even have

1018
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 2: to check on it. The book business is honest. I'll

1019
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 2: give you an example, like when I go to a

1020
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 2: book signing and I got to fly there or get

1021
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 2: a hotel. If you're in the record business, they take

1022
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 2: all that, they put surcharges on it, and they charge

1023
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 2: it back against your deal and your record sales.

1024
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 3: They don't do that in the book business.

1025
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 2: Whatever your book sales is, whatever your percentage is, that's

1026
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 2: your check. Whatever it cost to promote it, they ain't

1027
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,760
Speaker 2: got nothing to do with you. So the book business,

1028
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 2: I found to be.

1029
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 3: Very very clean back in for other stuff. Man.

1030
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 2: Now, when I went to the movie, it was a

1031
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 2: tough time for me because I was in a lot

1032
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 2: of tax trouble. So I took a big check from

1033
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 2: Sony for the rights, and then I made back in.

1034
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 2: I made back in points on the movie. I did,

1035
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 2: but I could have done better.

1036
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 6: They have you involved in the process of actually creating

1037
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 6: it and producing or nothing?

1038
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 2: No, that was mostly will pack h They asked me

1039
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 2: a couple of questions, asked me what I thought of

1040
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 2: Kevin Hart, and I was sitting him here, going, I mean,

1041
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 2: the little dude is come. He wasn't who he is now,

1042
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 2: but I knew right away that dude right there because

1043
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 2: he was putting the work in. Kevin was putting in

1044
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 2: the work as a young stand up. His stand up

1045
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 2: used to didn't be that good. He'll tell you that,

1046
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 2: but neither was mine because he was. You know, he

1047
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 2: worked mostly white rooms, and you had to be a

1048
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 2: certain way to survive white rooms. My earlier in my

1049
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 2: career was all white rooms until the Comedy Act Theater

1050
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 2: got started and Joe Torrey came one night and saw

1051
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 2: me at the Punchline and Buckhead and took me down

1052
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 2: to the Comedy Act Theater in the nineties and said, man,

1053
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 2: you ought to come see how they do. So we

1054
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 2: went to the waffle house and I was telling him

1055
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 2: stories about my father. Joe Tory was cracking up. He said, man,

1056
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 2: why don't you tell these stories on stage? I said,

1057
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: I can't tell it like that. And for the white folks,

1058
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 2: he said, man, let me take you down. He took

1059
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 2: me to Comedy Act Theater and a black dude went

1060
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 2: up on stage. He had on a pair of pajamas

1061
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,280
Speaker 2: and they had a Barbie doll stuck in the pocket

1062
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 2: of the pajamas.

1063
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 3: He never mentioned the damn doll. He never mentioned them

1064
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 3: damn pajamas. And all this fucker was talking about was

1065
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 3: frying fish, and the black people was knocking shit over laughing. Man,

1066
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 3: I was laughing so hard at this black dude because

1067
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 3: all he was talking about was how to fry fish.

1068
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 2: But every black person in there knew what he was

1069
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,760
Speaker 2: talking about. And he went through the different variations of hot, saucy,

1070
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 2: what you got it?

1071
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 3: And it was so black. They were just so black. Oh.

1072
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 3: I was in that vomity. So the next night I

1073
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 3: heard him.

1074
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 2: Got finished with my senate at the punchline, so I

1075
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 2: could go back down, and that's what I met Mike Williams.

1076
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 2: He said, hey, man, going up on stage, let me

1077
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 2: see what you gotta give you five minutes. Now, I

1078
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 2: had been at the Apollo, so a lot of people

1079
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 2: knew me from the Apollo. But when I walked up there, man,

1080
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 2: I left my white act that I had written for

1081
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:55,399
Speaker 2: the punchline, and I was doing jokes about my father,

1082
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 2: barbecue and and stuff. Man, them black people was knocking

1083
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 2: shit over the I mean they was just raking shit

1084
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 2: off the tables. And I had never seen black people

1085
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 2: in the club, cause black people laugh different, They emotional,

1086
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 2: They don't they hit people that they rolled with.

1087
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 3: They they be in there. It it build and I

1088
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 3: was in there, so I said, man, this is magical.

1089
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 3: And it changed my.

1090
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 2: Life because I started writing my jokes even in the

1091
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 2: white club as my black ass self. And so what

1092
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:33,720
Speaker 2: I learned at that particular time was I could become

1093
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 2: a crossover act. But the way I've always crossed over

1094
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 2: is I build a bridge and I invite white folks

1095
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 2: over to me. The problem with most blacks is they

1096
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 2: build a bridge and then they cross it.

1097
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 5: MM.

1098
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 3: Then when the bridge burned down, the ass can't come

1099
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 3: back home. M.

1100
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 2: I build a bridge and a lot of white folks

1101
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 2: come in the way I talk on family few is

1102
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 2: how I talk right now. I'm not finna change that, man,

1103
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 2: So you could be okay with me. Now, this is

1104
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 2: me I've been told all the time, Like I tell

1105
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 2: this story all the time. I was on NBC when

1106
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:07,919
Speaker 2: I first got to talk to you, and they said

1107
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 2: they sent this lady in to talk to me.

1108
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 3: And she was a leing. She was old, what is

1109
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 3: it linguist? She was a linguist. I didn't know what

1110
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 3: that was. So I thought she was in there teach

1111
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 3: me how to fix pasta. And I thought that was

1112
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 3: nice cause I've always wanted to know a little bit

1113
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,680

1116
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 2: you'll be more successful on TV.

1117
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,000

00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 2: you understand what we can become if you speak better?

1123
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 2: I said, well, yeah, I ain't finna be about it though.

Speaker 3: When did it? Actually?

1143
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 4: Because you were saying you have financial hardship two thousand

1144
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 4: and five, and you still was making some mistakes, but

1145
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 4: in your state now, so obviously things changed.

1146
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 3: Dramatically. So what was the turning point?

1147
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 4: What was the turning point from you know, making mistakes

1148
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 4: to actually going on the skyrocket?

1149
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 2: I know, man, that this is gonna sound like cliches

1150
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 2: and corny, but a woman, a woman, what was the

1151
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 2: difference making in my life?

1152
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:43,959
Speaker 3: My wife? When I married Marjorie Mann two thousand and seven,

1153
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 3: we got married.

1154
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 2: It changed the game for me because for the first

1155
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 2: time in my life, I was at peace because she

1156
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 2: made me good with who I was. She kept telling

1157
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 2: me you were made eat your TV star. Don't don't

1158
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,959
Speaker 2: believe us here, Steve, you look good.

1159
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 3: You can do this.

1160
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 2: You're talented, You're the best. And I had a peaceful home.

1161
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 2: I had never had a peaceful home life before. Man,

1162
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 2: I was coming home.

1163
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 3: I wasn't sitting in the car looking at the door

1164
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 3: for three hours scared to go in there. You know,

1165
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 3: you probably might have been in something like that before.

1166
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 3: I fortunately enough, but fortunately no. But yeah, you never know.

1167
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 3: You know, faith, man, your faith? Yeah I know, but

1168
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 3: you're gonna sit in that driveway. But even if you're

1169
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 3: happy if you piss her off, you're gonna go sit

1170
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 3: in that car, dog, because at least I can lock

1171
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 3: these doors and roll these windows up in his car,

1172
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 3: But if I sit in his house, I'm yeah. So

1173
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 3: you know, I'm happy about that. But I was in

1174
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 3: a horrible situation.

1175
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 7: And this woman came along and gave me peace pieces,

1176
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 7: priceless man, and I was able to think clearly for

1177
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 7: the first time, and so I was able to start

1178
00:59:58,320 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 7: seeing stuff.

1179
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 3: Now we got huge.

1180
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 2: I got in a huge tax situation in two thousand

1181
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 2: and eight because my divorce was in two thousand and

1182
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 2: five and my accountant had gotten in cahoots. And next thing,

1183
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 2: you know, my accountant died and a girl that worked

1184
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 2: for him called my lawyer and said, we have a problem.

1185
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 2: She had found on the floor all my tax forms

1186
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 2: for seven years, signed and with the checks staple to them.

1187
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 3: So I'm thinking unassigned and unstaple of checks. Well, they

1188
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 3: were cashing the checks, keeping the money, and not turning

1189
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 3: into tax form.

1190
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 4: So your account that's why we interviewed Fat Joe similar situation.

1191
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 4: He went to jail for that actually tax evasion. So

1192
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 4: your accountant, you how you.

1193
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 3: Were signing the check Oh, so you didn't know who

1194
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 3: the check was being made out to, Oh, to the government.

1195
01:00:58,520 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 3: So how did they cash it?

1196
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 2: Well, they didn't cash it. They took the money out

1197
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 2: of their account that matched the exact cause I wasn't

1198
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 2: watching it. Six hundred thousand, you get duck it.

1199
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 3: So I'm thinking it's the check. Little did I know

1200
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 3: it was some people taking the money out for seven years.

1201
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 2: For seven years, how much money did that? I ended

1202
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 2: up owing twenty two million? Wow, twenty two million with

1203
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 2: the with the penalties. So now listen to me, man,

1204
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 2: me and my wife. In two thousand and eight, I

1205
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 2: get the call. And the way I found out was

1206
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 2: my lawyer called me and said, hey, man, we got

1207
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 2: a problem. You haven't paid taxes in seven years. I said, man, kich,

1208
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 2: what are you talking about. I paid tax I've been

1209
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 2: writing the checks and all this here. Oh man, he said,

1210
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 2: this woman found your taxes in your accountant's office on

1211
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 2: the floor. Every tax check I had written in, every

1212
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 2: was stable together for seven years, quarterly taxes, all of it.

1213
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 3: So he said, man, that's tax evasion. You can go

1214
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 3: to prison.

1215
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 2: And I said, what we gonna do? So he said,

1216
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 2: hold on, man, let me get some lawyers. So he

1217
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 2: called up some tax accountants out of Chicago. These boys

1218
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 2: was the best, and they set me down and they said, man,

1219
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 2: we got a major problem. He said, I got a

1220
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 2: friend work at dis let me take the first year.

1221
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 2: We took the first year and we sent it in

1222
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 2: and he said, man, well this is an old tax return.

1223
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 2: He said, man, we got a problem. He got more

1224
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 2: but he didn't know it, and so l we need

1225
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 2: a tax payment plan. So the tax payment plan was

1226
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 2: so astronomical that it was no way I could pay this.

1227
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 3: So the deal was if you.

1228
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 2: Missed one payment, we come and seize all your assets

1229
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 2: and you going to jail.

1230
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 3: That was the deal.

1231
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 2: So the way I found out I was in real

1232
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 2: bad trouble was my accountants, my former manager lawyer, got

1233
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 2: on a conference call to discuss it. But they sent

1234
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 2: out an email with the conference call number to my assistant.

1235
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 2: But it wasn't supposed to go to me. She inadvertently

1236
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 2: gave it to me. I wasn't even suposed to be

1237
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 2: on the call. So when I logged in, they were

1238
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 2: already talking and I just didn't announce myself, and I

1239
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 2: heard them say, nobody can live under this amount of stress.

1240
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 2: There's no way he can pay the back taxes, pay

1241
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 2: his current taxes and his living expenses.

1242
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 3: And I heard a guy on the phone say, what

1243
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:40,439
Speaker 3: are we gonna do when he goes to jail?

1244
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 2: And I hung the phone up. I went upstairs. I said,

1245
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 2: Marjorie Dona, and Marjorie got a problem. When I explained

1246
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 2: it to her, Marjorie started crying. She sat down and cried.

1247
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 2: My wife cried for two straight days. She says, Steve,

1248
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 2: what you gonna do? I said, I'm gonna go to work.

1249
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 3: I took every comedy gig in this country. I signed

1250
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 3: every contract. I went to work. Man.

1251
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 2: I worked every single Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I went

1252
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 2: to every venue, the Verizon Staples Center, MCI Phillips, I

1253
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 2: sold out, the Fox I sold, I went everywhere.

1254
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 3: I stayed on the radio. Man, I'm coming, I'm coming

1255
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 3: sold out.

1256
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 2: I never missed a payment, And for four years in

1257
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 2: a row, I was sending six hundred and fifty thousand

1258
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 2: a month to the government, plus I had to pay

1259
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 2: my current TAXI I couldn't get behind on nothing, and

1260
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 2: I was living so I was credit cards, running them up,

1261
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 2: paying them off and Finally, Man, in two thousand and.

1262
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 5: Twelve, you got me thinking, now this is the paper

1263
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 5: view event.

1264
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 3: Well it was coming to that. Two things happened.

1265
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 2: Two thousand and twelve, I sold forty nine percent of

1266
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 2: my radio company to iHeart. I got check, man, I

1267
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 2: got me a check and then so I paid the

1268
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 2: government completely off to zero.

1269
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 3: And that was the first time, man, I could breathe.

1270
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 2: And then the pay per view I said, let me

1271
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 2: get out of stand up because my wife said, Steve,

1272
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 2: you fin to be a major TV star. You're gonna

1273
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 2: have to stop telling the jokes you're telling, cause you're

1274
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 2: gonna ruin your career because she saw the political correctness turning,

1275
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 2: and so she said, Steve, you can stop if you

1276
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 2: want to.

1277
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 3: I said, maybe, I can't ever stop telling jokes. It's

1278
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 3: who I am. She said, well, okay, but you gotta

1279
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 3: watch what you say.

1280
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 2: And all of my TV shows are sponsored driven, the

1281
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 2: radio sponsorship driven. I said, man, and let me get

1282
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 2: out of this because I need time to go do

1283
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 2: more TV. And so I did one last comedy show,

1284
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 2: but I did it on pay per view, and little

1285
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 2: did I know, for eight dollars you could watch my

1286
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 2: last I had no idea how many people.

1287
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 3: It's gonna tune in for that. I made a lot

1288
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 3: of money.

1289
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 2: It was the biggest single paycheck I ever made. And

1290
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 2: next thing, you know, I was back.

1291
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 5: About that house.

1292
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,560
Speaker 3: I had me some money, man, return. I was back return.

1293
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 3: I had a nice nut sitting over there. I said,

1294
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 3: I'm back, man, and then uh things. And after that, man,

1295
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 3: it was all because my wife had this vision for

1296
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 3: me and she could see it, and that was to

1297
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:48,439
Speaker 3: turn around.

1298
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 4: So the account you said he died so that you

1299
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 4: couldn't sue his estatement, there was no there was no

1300
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 4: course of action that could be taken.

1301
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 3: So it cause like the money that it's the same

1302
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 3: situation with that Joe. It's crazy.

1303
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 4: So you lost the money that he took, but then

1304
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 4: you had to pay that money in taxes and then pendal,

1305
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 4: so it's like a double edged sword.

1306
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 3: It's crazy. Man. It's nothing but the grace of God

1307
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 3: that I didn't go to jail how often.

1308
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 4: Because it's like, it's so crazy that this story, because

1309
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 4: it's like fat Joe yourself, Kevin Gardner, Tim Duncan, like

1310
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 4: this happens a lot. Like what would you advise for

1311
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 4: people that as a learning experience, like just to always

1312
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 4: watch your accounts a little.

1313
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 2: Let nobody sign your check, don't let nobody have access

1314
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 2: to your money, even if it's your wife. You still

1315
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 2: got to watch it yourself. Cause little did I know, man,

1316
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 2: I I wasn't moving the money. The only other person

1317
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 2: that could move the money had access to the account.

1318
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 2: So when you depart, when you're withdrawing the money out,

1319
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 2: like let's say tax with six hundred thousand and you

1320
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 2: take exactly six hundred thousand out, I'm thinking that's the

1321
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 2: check cleard, Oh it made They never okay, the.

1322
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 3: Exact amount, I don't care if it was. If it

1323
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 3: was one point two million, thirty two cent, one point

1324
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 3: two thirty two cent got took out exactly. So I'm

1325
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,719
Speaker 3: thinking I'm just looking at real going down the sheet,

1326
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 3: not realizing that that check ain't clear. And that's what happened. Man.

1327
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 3: I got burnt. And that happened for seven years of money. Man.

1328
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 6: So so you spoke about the marriage in two thousand

1329
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 6: and seven that brought you peace. I want to talk

1330
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 6: about generational wealth and I kind of want to change

1331
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 6: the phrase of sustainable wealth because you have seven kids,

1332
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 6: five grandkids.

1333
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 2: Seven and seven, seven and seven. Oh yeah, they had two.

1334
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 2: They little machines right now cranking them out.

1335
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 6: And so I mentioned it because obviously maybe your children

1336
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 6: have seen sumer the setbacks that you've had, but your

1337
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 6: grandchick children will never see it.

1338
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 5: They don't know anything about that, and so it's tough

1339
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 5: for them.

1340
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 6: To understand the type of perseverance, the type of determination

1341
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 6: resiliency to sustain the things you've been through. So how

1342
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 6: do we teach from what you've been through to them?

1343
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 3: You know, man, I ain't figured that out yet, because.

1344
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 2: There's even a hiccup between not the grandkids, but my

1345
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 2: own kids. Okay, because look, bro, most of us that

1346
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 2: are successful today oftentimes are the first ones in our

1347
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 2: family to be successful. I'm pretty sure before Rick Ross hit,

1348
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 2: it wasn't no more. I know, before jay Z hit,

1349
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 2: it wasn't no more in his family. You know, we

1350
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 2: ain't got nobody to go to to figure this thing out.

1351
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 2: So what happens is and then you say, as most

1352
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 2: good parents, I want my children to have a better

1353
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 2: life than the one I had, So you try to

1354
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 2: protect your children from the hustling grit that you was under. Now,

1355
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 2: my kids ain't got to come up like me, figure

1356
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 2: it out.

1357
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 3: And work through this and work like that. But in

1358
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 3: that though, you've made a mistake. Because now.

1359
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 2: See, all of my children live their life as high

1360
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 2: acrobats with a net.

1361
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 3: So if they lose grip of the handle, Daddy down

1362
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,720
Speaker 3: there got a net. I ain't handle net.

1363
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 2: So I was a high wire act and when I

1364
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 2: slipped off, my ass hit the ground, had to get repaired,

1365
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 2: then climb.

1366
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 3: Back up there. They got a safety belt on there

1367
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 3: on the hunt, they're doing wild ass flips. It wasn't

1368
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 3: nobody hold they hit the thing in the little cable,

1369
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 3: pick them back up, and it's messed up. Man. Because

1370
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 3: you and I talked about this with all the brothers.

1371
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 2: I know that's successful. I don't know nobody to figured

1372
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 2: this one out.

1373
01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 3: Man. How do we teach our the hustling grind.

1374

1482
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,360

Speaker 2: for the tuition with it, you know, I can't get

1486
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 2: it back. But she had a plan, and it's been

1487
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 2: really amazing watching her grow and developed because.

1488
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:34,599
Speaker 3: Of a couple of things.

1489
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 2: Man, I'm so protective of her because I know what

1490
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:43,759
Speaker 2: she's up against, you know, and but she's always wanted

1491
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 2: to be a business person, and so you know, you

1492
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 2: watch your kids grow and develop. You watch them learn,

1493
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 2: They make mistakes, as we all do. But what Laurie

1494
01:17:55,520 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 2: did was Laurie has She's just always asked me a question, Dan,

1495
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:02,760
Speaker 2: what's it like for this?

1496
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:03,720
Speaker 3: What's it like for that?

1497
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 2: And I could see her wanting more. But this Moon

1498
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 2: Culture investment that we invested in. But her skincare line

1499
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 2: was all her, all the vision of her and her mother,

1500
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 2: her and her mother. Her mother had this vision before,

1501
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 2: but she put it on the back burner and she

1502
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 2: dumped it all in with Lourie. Because Laurie got smart.

1503
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:32,640
Speaker 2: Luri has a teen Louri has a CEO mentality. She

1504
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 2: understands it now.

1505
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 3: She gets it.

1506
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 2: You know, she been through the washer out here. She

1507
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 2: know what this social media can be. She learned how

1508
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 2: to make it more of a friend of hers than

1509
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 2: the enemy. And she just got real smart man. And

1510
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 2: she'll come to me and she'll go, Dad, I'm thinking

1511
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 2: about doing this.

1512
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 3: What do you think? I don't always agree.

1513
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 2: But I don't have to because what's in Laurie's imagination

1514
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 2: I don't have to see because God ain't gonna put

1515
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 2: her imagination.

1516
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 3: In my head.

1517
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 2: So since I understand that principle when LORI comes to

1518
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,639
Speaker 2: me with this what people think is this wild crazy idea,

1519
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:14,679
Speaker 2: Like this girl right here is not gonna stop.

1520
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:19,879
Speaker 3: Man. Her skincare line is good, she's into fashion, she's smart,

1521
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 3: and uh, it's just a pleasure watching her.

Speaker 2: saying it, but I didn't.

1563
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 3: I told Laura I was gonna cut her.

1564
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:41,160

1569
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:53,560
Speaker 3: and I was gonna cut her off. And she just

1570
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,600
Speaker 3: started laughing. And then she said, well, and you're not

Speaker 3: How'd you get How'd you get in that world?

1578
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 2: Well, because I got a couple of smart people at

Speaker 2: of these things to me because you know, really, like

1582
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 2: I said, man, I'm in the mental game of it.

1583
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:37,759
Speaker 2: When it comes to the technical stuff, I just surround

1584
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:41,560
Speaker 2: myself with people who are technically smart. Now, Brandon is

01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 2: of these deals, especially in the tech space. All the

1589
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:01,120

1594
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 2: him because he could have took this check. But he said, no, Dad,

01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 3: these Ivy League schools. He had full rides to go

1599
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 3: to all these schools and stuff. And I was sitting

1600
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:30,760
Speaker 3: down with him one day and I said, well, how

1601

1605
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 2: And I said how many years is this gonna take

1606
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 2: to do that?

1607
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:46,000

01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 2: he told me, it just didn't make no damn sense

1611
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:56,200
Speaker 2: to me. So I said, I'll tell you what, man,

Speaker 2: just proud of him, man, because they got it. They

1670
01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 2: weren't bitter with what happened to him. See, sometimes you

Speaker 2: got to get in order to grow, You got to go.

1672

1674
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 2: he got another door. He wants you to walk through

1675
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 2: the problem that most people do. Like during the pandemic,

1676
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 2: a lot of companies close, a lot of people lost

1677
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:13,559

1679
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 3: I'm waiting on the company to get back and come

1680
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 3: back in business. It ain't.

Speaker 2: you can quit beating on that door.

1684
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:29,120

1685
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 3: to God to open that company back up.

1686
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 2: Lord bless 'em to get back on their feet. Why

1687
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:37,599
Speaker 2: don't you stop beating on that door and turn away

1688
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:39,639
Speaker 2: from the door and walk up the hall.

01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:30,680
Speaker 3: But it's gum on my shoe. What the fuck I'm

01:38:30,680 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 3: supposed to do?

1901

Speaker 2: Rub that ship off the elevator, opening them two down

01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:43,840
Speaker 3: Let's walk down here. True story.

01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can't go to.

01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 6: we went from the big suits.

1912
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you couldn't tell me nothing.

1913
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:09,240
Speaker 6: You couldn't tell me nothing class in the classic airline.

1914
01:39:10,160 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 3: You look at them suits.

1915
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:15,880
Speaker 2: Every NBA player from Magic Johnson to Michael Jordan had

1916
01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 2: them suits.

1917
01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:18,360
Speaker 5: That was a treasure dog.

1918
01:39:18,479 --> 01:39:20,840
Speaker 2: They said, Man, we used to watch the Apollo to

1919
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:24,519
Speaker 2: see what you was wearing. And we get it made Michael,

1920
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:27,080
Speaker 2: all of them, they all know that. They all used

1921
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:30,560
Speaker 2: to come man them suits. Man, it was I was

1922
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:31,639
Speaker 2: king of the urban wear.

1923
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:36,040
Speaker 6: But you transitioned now at lettusage and now it's fine fashion.

1924
01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:39,720
Speaker 6: It's gotten to the point now it's like I think,

1925
01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:41,960
Speaker 6: like people are looking just to see what you're wearing again.

1926
01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:46,559
Speaker 6: But in the social media world it's like like they're

1927
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:49,400
Speaker 6: turning it into a comedy at some at some places,

1928
01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:51,639
Speaker 6: but other people are looking at it like, Yo, who's

1929
01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:52,679
Speaker 6: who's dressing this dude.

1930
01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 5: Because he's fly? Yeah, see the hater, how was that transition?

1931
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:59,599
Speaker 3: Well, Marjorie, if you watched my wife over the years.

1932
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:04,000
Speaker 2: She's she's it man. She's the fastest and fashionista. And

1933
01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:08,640
Speaker 2: it started with her when she said, Steven, want you.

1934
01:40:08,640 --> 01:40:09,439
Speaker 3: To change your suits?

1935
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:11,439
Speaker 2: And I said why, She said, because I'm tired of

1936
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 2: being married to a pimp. I said, well, I'm the

1937
01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:16,000
Speaker 2: damn you ain't had no problem. She said, well, I

1938
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:18,560
Speaker 2: just had to get you married. Further, she said, I

1939
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:21,360
Speaker 2: was gonna change you the whole long. So she got

1940
01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 2: a couple of tailors and I started.

1941
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:26,800
Speaker 3: Wearing some little Canali kitan suits and stuff like that,

1942
01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:28,719
Speaker 3: and it was going okay.

1943
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:31,600
Speaker 2: And then I got this guy when I got to

1944
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:33,439
Speaker 2: talk show and all this here, and I wanted to

1945
01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:35,920
Speaker 2: have a certain look. I'm a game show host, I'm

1946
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:39,240
Speaker 2: a talk show host. I wanted to be more mainstreams.

1947
01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:41,400
Speaker 2: So she took all the big suits off of me

1948
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 2: and she cut the suits down. But I was one

1949
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:47,960
Speaker 2: note man, because that was the image I just wanted

1950
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:54,240
Speaker 2: out there, game show hosts, TV hosts, tie collar bar clamp,

1951
01:40:54,840 --> 01:41:00,919
Speaker 2: cuff links, pocket square necktie, colors, shoe gators.

1952
01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:04,320
Speaker 3: That was it, and that went for a long time.

1953
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 2: The reputation on Family few was he dressed so nice

1954
01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:08,800
Speaker 2: and all the people that have come on Family Feud

1955
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,720
Speaker 2: would try to wear two pocket squares because they thought

1956
01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:14,360
Speaker 2: it was two pocket squares. It's really only one. I

1957
01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 2: just wore tom Ford pocket squares that had a border.

1958
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:19,479
Speaker 2: Once you have a pocket square with a border on it,

1959
01:41:19,560 --> 01:41:21,559
Speaker 2: when you pulled the middle out and put the board,

1960
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:22,439
Speaker 2: it looked like it's too.

1961
01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:24,280
Speaker 3: So that was a little trick move I did, right.

1962
01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:27,320
Speaker 2: I was going along with that And then I went

1963
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:33,519
Speaker 2: to Africa four years ago and I started taping the show.

1964
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:35,559
Speaker 2: I had a problem with the guy. He couldn't make

1965
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:38,200
Speaker 2: the trip. He had some family issues. So my wife's

1966
01:41:38,560 --> 01:41:42,880
Speaker 2: had been telling me about Ellie. She said, Steve, you

1967
01:41:43,040 --> 01:41:46,320
Speaker 2: really ought to hire this kid. He's very, very talented

1968
01:41:46,439 --> 01:41:49,320
Speaker 2: in fashion and you need to freshen up your look.

1969
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:51,840
Speaker 2: And I said, babe, I don't need all that, you know.

1970
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:55,120
Speaker 2: And plus I had seen Ellie a few times with

1971
01:41:55,320 --> 01:41:58,960
Speaker 2: Wynton and Lloyd. They were friends, and you know, I

1972
01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 2: just didn't think nothing, you know, But every time they

1973
01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:04,080
Speaker 2: got dressed, they was calling him, what do I wear?

1974
01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:07,240
Speaker 3: What do I do? And so when the dude didn't

1975
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 3: couldn't make it to Africa, she called Ellie and said,

1976
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:13,439
Speaker 3: what are you doing? And he told her.

1977
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:18,240
Speaker 2: Now, Ellie had designed something for me, some pajama sets

1978
01:42:18,280 --> 01:42:21,800
Speaker 2: with Doce Cabano. Before that, I flew him out to

1979
01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:24,240
Speaker 2: La to show me these designs. He designed these cold

1980
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:26,720
Speaker 2: sets for me and they were just outstanding. So she

1981
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:28,639
Speaker 2: called him and said, what are you doing? She said,

1982
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:31,720
Speaker 2: he said, I'm off right now. She said, get on

1983
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:33,559
Speaker 2: the plane and come to Africa.

1984
01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:37,559
Speaker 3: Now, this is Marjorie. She don't play. So the next

1985
01:42:38,479 --> 01:42:45,240
Speaker 3: evening he shows up in Africa. Well, the guy that

1986
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:51,080
Speaker 3: wasn't making it made it. He had the dinner too.

1987
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:53,639
Speaker 3: Okrah moment.

1988
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:56,479
Speaker 2: Now we go to the dinner at this restaurant in Africa,

1989
01:42:56,520 --> 01:42:59,599
Speaker 2: this beautiful restaurant called the Saint, and the only seat

1990
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,760
Speaker 2: of veil at the table they sitting next to each other.

1991
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:04,799
Speaker 5: This was awkward.

1992
01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:08,280
Speaker 3: This was a very awkward moment. Man.

1993
01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:09,640
Speaker 5: This was And so.

1994
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:13,280
Speaker 2: One thing led through another and the brother had to

1995
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:16,120
Speaker 2: go home for family reasons. So Ellie stayed. And that

1996
01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:20,800
Speaker 2: was the first time the first season of Family Feud.

1997
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:24,880
Speaker 2: He was starting to style me and I was going, yo, man.

1998
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:28,200
Speaker 2: So he says, oh, you're not wearing a pocket square today,

1999
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:31,679
Speaker 2: and I went, what are you nuts?

2000
01:43:32,200 --> 01:43:33,559
Speaker 3: No pocket square? Who?

2001
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:34,160
Speaker 6: No?

2002
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:34,400
Speaker 8: Who?

2003
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 3: You think you dressing and he says, we don't have

2004
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:42,439
Speaker 3: to match. We're going to color block. No, what you

2005
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 3: mean we are f in the match. We're not finna match.

2006
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:48,520
Speaker 3: What No, we're fin the match partner. I'm from Cleveland.

2007
01:43:49,120 --> 01:43:51,639
Speaker 2: You know, my gators got to be the same color

2008
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:54,360
Speaker 2: as my hat, and my gators got to match my belt.

2009
01:43:54,479 --> 01:43:57,280
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about. These are rules,

2010
01:43:58,160 --> 01:43:59,080
Speaker 3: since that's old.

2011
01:44:00,840 --> 01:44:04,960
Speaker 2: So he started dressing me and color blocking and doing

2012
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:07,760
Speaker 2: all this stuff. I wasn't really happy with it, but

2013
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:10,240
Speaker 2: you know, when I come out to the dressing room,

2014
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:16,360
Speaker 2: all my sons dad as dope, and I was going, man,

2015
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:19,320
Speaker 2: this ain't that dope. And you know, it got on,

2016
01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:22,519
Speaker 2: so it worked out for us. And then I just

2017
01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:27,559
Speaker 2: noticed he was super organized. He was he took better,

2018
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:31,080
Speaker 2: took such great care to clothes. And then he started

2019
01:44:31,120 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 2: showing me stuff. Mister Hervey, look at this, this is

2020
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:37,280
Speaker 2: coming out. This is gonna be the new collection. I

2021
01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 2: had never seen this in my life. What do you

2022
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:39,599
Speaker 2: mean new collection?

2023
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:40,639
Speaker 5: Stuff?

2024
01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:43,680
Speaker 2: Getting the stoves? That's what I buy, stepanold Richard, a

2025
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:46,120
Speaker 2: little bit of tom Ford and buy some key time.

2026
01:44:46,520 --> 01:44:48,960
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no, this is what we're

2027
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 3: gonna do.

2028
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:52,200
Speaker 2: And so I got the show called Facebook Watch after that,

2029
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:54,439
Speaker 2: and they said, they don't want me to dress like

2030
01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:57,559
Speaker 2: I normally dress. Would you wear your regular clothes? Now,

2031
01:44:57,640 --> 01:45:01,080
Speaker 2: my regular clothes were different than my image was. So

2032
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:03,599
Speaker 2: he would go in the closet and start putting stuff together.

2033
01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:06,200
Speaker 2: Then he just started saying, let me, let me buy

2034
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 2: some stuff and bring it to you. So he would

2035
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:11,120
Speaker 2: go out and shop and bring stuff to the house

2036
01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:11,799
Speaker 2: and I would.

2037
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:12,040
Speaker 3: Look at it.

2038
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:15,200
Speaker 2: I was fighting him all the way. He said, no,

2039
01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:17,760
Speaker 2: mister Harvey, but you got to try it on. We

2040
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:19,640
Speaker 2: got to have a fitting. I used to hate when

2041
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:21,720
Speaker 2: he said it would have a fitting, and then you

2042
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:24,000
Speaker 2: know he said. Then one day he really pissed me

2043
01:45:24,040 --> 01:45:26,440
Speaker 2: off cause the last year we was in Africa.

2044
01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:28,800
Speaker 3: He said, mister Harvey, you need to lose some weight.

2045
01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:33,040
Speaker 3: You're making these fashions look ridiculous. And I'm went, oh,

2046
01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:35,400
Speaker 3: you little skinny some bitch. You're sitting up in here

2047
01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:37,840
Speaker 3: looking like a somebnie and you tryna tell him I

2048
01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:40,200
Speaker 3: need to lose some weight. You don't tell him I

2049
01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:40,960
Speaker 3: need to lose some weight.

2050
01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 2: Okay. Cool kind of pissed me off. My wife said

2051
01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:47,760
Speaker 2: he might be right that now when your wife say it,

2052
01:45:47,960 --> 01:45:49,679
Speaker 2: then you I got to get my ass in the gym.

2053
01:45:49,720 --> 01:45:52,320
Speaker 2: We gotta get some of this weight off. And then

2054
01:45:53,080 --> 01:45:58,160
Speaker 2: on Facebook Watch two years ago, he started dressing me

2055
01:45:58,280 --> 01:46:01,160
Speaker 2: the way we just started on some different stuff. He said,

2056
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:04,120
Speaker 2: mister Harvey, what's the one thing you really want to do.

2057
01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:07,120
Speaker 2: I said, my wanma colors back. I used to wear

2058
01:46:07,240 --> 01:46:08,679
Speaker 2: colors on Kings of Comedy.

2059
01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:10,840
Speaker 3: That's what I miss. He says, But we have to

2060
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:16,679
Speaker 3: change your fit. He started narrowing down the shoulders, narrowing

2061
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:19,759
Speaker 3: down the sleeves. I was against all of this. Change

2062
01:46:19,800 --> 01:46:22,479
Speaker 3: your fit, mister Harvey. You now don't have the weight

2063
01:46:22,560 --> 01:46:25,439
Speaker 3: you can wear. The clothes are better and y color

2064
01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:26,760
Speaker 3: blocking and blah blah blah.

2065
01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:29,599
Speaker 2: And then it just took off. And it started happening

2066
01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:32,680
Speaker 2: a few years ago on Facebook Watch. And then he

2067
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:36,080
Speaker 2: did a special order on uh NFL Honors and that

2068
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:38,600
Speaker 2: took off. And then the guy that would run the

2069
01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:41,519
Speaker 2: NFL Honors works for Celebrity Family Feud and call him

2070
01:46:41,600 --> 01:46:43,840
Speaker 2: up and said, hey man, you should let Steve Harvey

2071
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:47,120
Speaker 2: dress on Celebrity Family Feud the way he does on

2072
01:46:47,360 --> 01:46:49,720
Speaker 2: NFL Honors. So they cause I used to have to

2073
01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:53,599
Speaker 2: wear the same suit on celebrity family Feud because they

2074
01:46:53,600 --> 01:46:55,080
Speaker 2: didn't know what order he was going, So I just

2075
01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:59,599
Speaker 2: wore the same suit. When they did that, I told Ellie,

2076
01:46:59,720 --> 01:47:03,840
Speaker 2: do your thing, and then he just started setting stuff out,

2077
01:47:04,720 --> 01:47:06,920
Speaker 2: and next thing, you know, he said, mister Harvey, let

2078
01:47:06,960 --> 01:47:08,560
Speaker 2: me take your picture. Which is the one thing I

2079
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:11,599
Speaker 2: hate sitting up for a picture. I don't like looking

2080
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:14,120
Speaker 2: at camera and smiling and stuff like that. So he said,

2081
01:47:14,240 --> 01:47:16,400
Speaker 2: just look now. So most of my pictures I'm looking

2082
01:47:16,479 --> 01:47:19,040
Speaker 2: down or something or got a cigar or something. He

2083
01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:22,120
Speaker 2: was taking pictures and then he would start posting it

2084
01:47:23,680 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 2: and by accident, next thing, you know, man, fashion bomb

2085
01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:29,400
Speaker 2: daily and boom, people started picking it up. And I

2086
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:31,559
Speaker 2: was going, what's going on? Because it was never my intention,

2087
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:33,600
Speaker 2: you know, I just wanted to I didn't want to

2088
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:34,960
Speaker 2: hear my wife's mouth no more.

2089
01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:36,880
Speaker 3: That's all it was for her to be quiet.

2090
01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:43,920
Speaker 2: But this kid, Ellie is such an innovative dude, and

2091
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:46,679
Speaker 2: he understands how I am. And he don't bring stuff

2092
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:48,840
Speaker 2: that don't fit my body because still, all in all, man,

2093
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:52,120
Speaker 2: I'm sixty five, You dig you gotta let me be comfortable.

2094
01:47:52,200 --> 01:47:57,439
Speaker 2: Skinny jeans is for skinny people, you know. And then

2095
01:47:57,479 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 2: we got a couple of rules. I will not wear high.

2096
01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:04,800
Speaker 3: Top sneakers with a suit. I'm not gonna do that

2097
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:07,599
Speaker 3: for you. Yeah, I'm not finna do that. I see

2098
01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:10,080
Speaker 3: all these basketball players and stuff. I'm not finna do that.

2099
01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:12,599
Speaker 3: I'm not wearing a high top sneaker with my suit.

2100
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 2: Now, we got some stuff on a Ricci alligator sneakers

2101
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:19,000
Speaker 2: I had made. I'll wear that with them. But they

2102
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:24,320
Speaker 2: look they look dope, and we get in a lot

2103
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:29,439
Speaker 2: of fights because I don't like a lot of the stuff.

2104
01:48:30,439 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 2: But to give him credit, he's right ninety percent of

2105
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:36,559
Speaker 2: the time. And but when it comes to fashion, man,

2106
01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:39,280
Speaker 2: the dude just said, mister Harvey, I'm gonna let you

2107
01:48:39,360 --> 01:48:42,320
Speaker 2: be you. I'm gonna introduce you to these looks. And

2108
01:48:42,439 --> 01:48:43,200
Speaker 2: he introduced them.

2109
01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:43,960
Speaker 3: Some of it work.

2110
01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:46,400
Speaker 2: I put on some stuff and love it, and he'll go,

2111
01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:49,120
Speaker 2: you're not wearing that, and I'll be going, well, the

2112
01:48:49,240 --> 01:48:49,800
Speaker 2: hell I ain't.

2113
01:48:50,920 --> 01:48:52,559
Speaker 3: Well, I don't want my name on it. And then

2114
01:48:52,600 --> 01:48:54,400
Speaker 3: that's when I know I look like a fool, you know.

2115
01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:57,280
Speaker 2: But it turned out to be a great relationship, man,

2116
01:48:57,360 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 2: And I think it's done a lot for his recognition.

2117
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:05,080
Speaker 3: Really more so than mine because for me.

2118
01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:08,720
Speaker 2: It's an it's an added like an accident, but for

2119
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:12,679
Speaker 2: him its career changing because this is truly what he does.

2120
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:14,640
Speaker 2: And I think what's gonna happen is I think this

2121
01:49:14,800 --> 01:49:18,439
Speaker 2: dude is gonna be He's gonna end up before it's over.

2122
01:49:18,720 --> 01:49:21,720
Speaker 2: He won't always work for me, because that's not how

2123
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:23,920
Speaker 2: I do people. I expect me to be a stepping

2209
01:54:15,520 --> 01:54:18,320

Speaker 3: gravy shaking that start. No, it's been a pleasure, brother.

2211
01:54:25,040 --> 01:54:27,080
Speaker 4: This is actually probably our longest episode, but it just

2212
01:54:27,160 --> 01:54:30,240
Speaker 4: seemed like it was just like could last forever because

2213
01:54:30,240 --> 01:54:33,880
Speaker 4: it's so much information. And I'm personally appreciative because I

2214
01:54:34,040 --> 01:54:35,720
Speaker 4: learned from actually asking questions.

2215
01:54:35,920 --> 01:54:38,160
Speaker 3: It's like an audience does so a lot of the questions.

2216
01:54:38,200 --> 01:54:40,400
Speaker 4: I was asking you because I personally wanted to know

2217
01:54:40,560 --> 01:54:43,440
Speaker 4: myself to not make mistakes and to know how to maneuver.

2218
01:54:43,520 --> 01:54:46,120
Speaker 4: And that's what it's really about mentorship. So I appreciate

2219
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:47,480
Speaker 4: you taking the time out of your schedule.

2220
01:54:47,840 --> 01:54:50,440
Speaker 3: It was good, man, because I've watched y'all. Y'all deep brothers.

2221
01:54:50,520 --> 01:54:53,400
Speaker 2: Man, what y'all trying to do is educate, and the

2222
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:56,880
Speaker 2: more people you help become successful, the more successful you become.

2223
01:54:57,320 --> 01:55:00,120
Speaker 3: That's what people don't understand. Man. You got I had

2224
01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:02,160
Speaker 3: to take some time to share the knowledge.

2225
01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 5: You know. It's like.

2226
01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:07,320
Speaker 2: I went to Robert Smith's house and tell you his

2227
01:55:07,480 --> 01:55:12,000
Speaker 2: quick story the billionaire, and the story is you got

2228
01:55:12,160 --> 01:55:16,120
Speaker 2: thirty minutes. No one gets more than thirty minutes of

2229
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:20,080
Speaker 2: his time period. I was told that I done got

2230
01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:22,640
Speaker 2: a jet on a flu to Austin to his house

2231
01:55:23,400 --> 01:55:26,440
Speaker 2: cool for thirty minutes. Man, do you know how bad

2232
01:55:26,480 --> 01:55:28,080
Speaker 2: I wanted to sit with this man to get a

2233
01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:30,880
Speaker 2: jet and go somewhere for thirty minute meeting. Then the

2234
01:55:30,960 --> 01:55:34,000
Speaker 2: lady explained to me, at thirty minutes, when I walk up,

2235
01:55:34,040 --> 01:55:36,720
Speaker 2: if he does that, that means give him five more minutes.

2236
01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:40,200
Speaker 2: At thirty minutes, that lady walked right in that room

2237
01:55:40,240 --> 01:55:41,920
Speaker 2: and he did like that. I said, well, I got

2238
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:43,440
Speaker 2: five more minutes, and I sat down.

2239
01:55:43,520 --> 01:55:46,320
Speaker 3: We talked. She came back in, he did like that.

2240
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:50,440
Speaker 3: She walked away, She came back again. He did like that.

2241
01:55:51,280 --> 01:55:54,240
Speaker 2: She didn't come back no more. I was at Robert

2242
01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:59,760
Speaker 2: Smith's house for seven hours. I was leaving his house

2243
01:56:00,840 --> 01:56:04,360
Speaker 2: and I asked his the lady who runs it, I said.

2244
01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:06,040
Speaker 3: Can I answer your question?

2245
01:56:07,240 --> 01:56:09,680
Speaker 2: I said, I was expecting to leave in thirty minutes

2246
01:56:09,760 --> 01:56:16,040
Speaker 2: forty minutes. I said, why was I in this man's

2247
01:56:16,080 --> 01:56:18,920
Speaker 2: house for seven hours? She said, you know why, Steve,

2248
01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:21,520
Speaker 2: She said, cause you the first person that sat with

2249
01:56:21,640 --> 01:56:24,000
Speaker 2: him for twenty minutes and ain't asking for no money.

2250
01:56:24,240 --> 01:56:27,400
Speaker 3: Mm mm she said. So the question is, why ain't

2251
01:56:27,400 --> 01:56:29,480
Speaker 3: you ask the man for no money? Cause he was waiting,

2252
01:56:30,040 --> 01:56:32,080
Speaker 3: I said, cause I didn't wanna ask for no money.

2253
01:56:32,640 --> 01:56:35,360
Speaker 3: I wanna learn how he made that money. Mm See,

2254
01:56:35,360 --> 01:56:39,120
Speaker 3: I wanna be a billionaire. So what I needed from

2255
01:56:39,200 --> 01:56:43,280
Speaker 3: him was information. The biggest thing Robert smith taught me

2256
01:56:43,720 --> 01:56:48,360
Speaker 3: was to scale up everything you say in Steve, scale it.

2257
01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:51,480
Speaker 3: You wanna bring three hundred boards your ranch?

2258
01:56:51,960 --> 01:56:54,760
Speaker 2: How do you bring three thousand to your ranch? You

2259
01:56:54,880 --> 01:56:58,720
Speaker 2: bring three thousand? How do you bring thirty thousand? You

2260
01:56:58,840 --> 01:57:01,840
Speaker 2: wanna train thirty thou lies? How you change three hundred

2261
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:06,160
Speaker 2: thousand lives? He taught me that valuable lesson. And me

2262
01:57:06,200 --> 01:57:09,400
Speaker 2: and Robert Smiths we've been friends every since. Man and

2263
01:57:09,480 --> 01:57:12,080
Speaker 2: when he gave that money the more house and paid

2264
01:57:12,120 --> 01:57:14,440
Speaker 2: off all them loans. Do you know he meets with

2265
01:57:14,560 --> 01:57:18,000
Speaker 2: them brothers once a month. He meets with him once

2266
01:57:18,040 --> 01:57:20,920
Speaker 2: a month. I was on the yacht for my birthday.

2267
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:22,800
Speaker 2: He called me and says, Steve, need you join this

2268
01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:25,000
Speaker 2: call with me on Thursday night. Man, ain't no problem.

2269
01:57:26,200 --> 01:57:28,560
Speaker 2: Got on the lunch with him and set in, got

2270
01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:31,000
Speaker 2: in on the zoom call with him. He had about

2271
01:57:31,040 --> 01:57:33,800
Speaker 2: forty and fifty of them cats on the line set online,

2272
01:57:34,200 --> 01:57:38,200
Speaker 2: and all I did was give them information about the

2273
01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:41,160
Speaker 2: mindset you have to have for success.

2274
01:57:41,880 --> 01:57:44,600
Speaker 3: You got to get your mind wrapped around this thing. Man.

2275
01:57:44,880 --> 01:57:47,120
Speaker 2: If you don't get this here, you got to have

2276
01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:50,480
Speaker 2: successful thought. Everything I think is big, and everything I

2277
01:57:50,600 --> 01:57:52,400
Speaker 2: try to think is positive. And I'm human. I have

2278
01:57:52,520 --> 01:57:55,920
Speaker 2: my days, you know, when I have doubts, and I'm human.

2279
01:57:57,040 --> 01:58:00,800
Speaker 2: But right after that, whenever I think some working, I

2280
01:58:00,920 --> 01:58:04,160
Speaker 2: do two things I start thinking of. I get grateful

2281
01:58:05,440 --> 01:58:08,960
Speaker 2: and I immediately go into prayer. I get grateful and

2282
01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 2: then I just say, okay, God, I thank you for

2283
01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:13,400
Speaker 2: what all you've done for me. Let me just shut

2284
01:58:13,480 --> 01:58:15,640
Speaker 2: up and cool out. And then I go into prayer

2285
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:20,280
Speaker 2: and dog. What I have now is because of that.

2286
01:58:20,480 --> 01:58:23,520
Speaker 2: It's not because like I'm the funniest cat out there.

2287
01:58:23,640 --> 01:58:25,920
Speaker 2: You know, somebody asked me one time, you think you

2288
01:58:26,080 --> 01:58:26,560
Speaker 2: that funny.

2289

Speaker 3: I don't know. I know enough people do.

2291
01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:37,520
Speaker 2: to give me a dollar. I made a few hundred million.

2292
01:58:38,120 --> 01:58:40,520
Speaker 2: Now you might not think I'm funny, but I don't really.

Speaker 3: it's something that ain't. Ain't nobody finna do that. You

2455
02:07:39,720 --> 02:07:42,240
Speaker 3: can get four Like. I love these boys at eighty

Speaker 2: But they doing something, man, I never thought would be done.

2458
02:07:46,120 --> 02:07:47,880
Speaker 2: That's why I gotta take my hat off to him,

2459
02:07:48,320 --> 02:07:50,080
Speaker 2: because I don't know how they did this. Man.

2460
02:07:50,800 --> 02:07:53,520
Speaker 3: They actually go on stage in the living room setting

2461
02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:57,640
Speaker 3: and sit around and talk and sell out and the

2462
02:07:57,760 --> 02:08:02,720
Speaker 3: ship is funny. They they've taken improv comedy to a

2463
02:08:02,880 --> 02:08:06,080
Speaker 3: whole nother level, Like a lot of conversations, they're different.

2464
02:08:06,160 --> 02:08:08,040
Speaker 3: We sat we did that show, and just after the

2465
02:08:08,080 --> 02:08:09,920
Speaker 3: show was just like, how did they just do that?

2466
02:08:11,440 --> 02:08:13,640
Speaker 5: It's so talented and you don't realize it, like as

2467
02:08:13,680 --> 02:08:14,120
Speaker 5: this happenue?

2468
02:08:14,760 --> 02:08:17,800
Speaker 3: Does this happen? I didn't think that could work. I

2469
02:08:17,960 --> 02:08:19,720
Speaker 3: tried improv comedy. I can't do it.

2470
02:08:19,720 --> 02:08:22,440
Speaker 2: And then I don't understand dividing the check. That's what

2471
02:08:23,800 --> 02:08:27,080
Speaker 2: always through me. We're gonna get this check and we're

2472
02:08:27,120 --> 02:08:29,840
Speaker 2: gonna split it. Now, I gotta do this myself. But

2473
02:08:30,200 --> 02:08:34,520
Speaker 2: eighty five self has came along Chico and Man Seeing

2474
02:08:34,840 --> 02:08:37,640
Speaker 2: and DC and them boys, and they special.

2475
02:08:37,760 --> 02:08:37,920
Speaker 3: Man.

2476
02:08:38,640 --> 02:08:43,160
Speaker 2: They changed the way comedy could be done. So my

2477
02:08:43,320 --> 02:08:45,920
Speaker 2: hat's off to them young boys right there, man, because

2478
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:49,880
Speaker 2: I just I didn't think it could work. But once again,

2479
02:08:50,160 --> 02:08:52,280
Speaker 2: it wasn't in my imagination.

2480
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:55,240
Speaker 3: It was in theirs. So that's my view, man. So

2481
02:08:55,360 --> 02:08:58,880
Speaker 3: you have to write your own jokes to be top

2482
02:08:58,920 --> 02:09:01,000
Speaker 3: tier or does that not mat Yeah?

2483
02:09:01,160 --> 02:09:04,440
Speaker 2: But then you know, like the like Chapelle and Rock

2484
02:09:05,080 --> 02:09:07,920
Speaker 2: you know they had writers, you know, but they doing

2485
02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:10,600
Speaker 2: some high level stuff. It's it's time consuming. Like if

2486
02:09:10,640 --> 02:09:13,040
Speaker 2: I went back, I'd have to go that route. I

2487
02:09:13,160 --> 02:09:15,360
Speaker 2: spent my whole career writing my own. I bought two

2488
02:09:15,520 --> 02:09:19,160
Speaker 2: jokes in thirty years, he said, bought them, bought two

2489
02:09:19,280 --> 02:09:22,160
Speaker 2: jokes writers, Yeah, off of a writer. I bought a

2490
02:09:22,240 --> 02:09:26,320
Speaker 2: funeral joke from Prescott Comedian out of Memphis. I bought

2491
02:09:26,320 --> 02:09:30,280
Speaker 2: a funeral joke from Prescott, and I bought something else

2492
02:09:30,320 --> 02:09:32,680
Speaker 2: from Prescott. I don't remember that joke, but I bought

2493
02:09:32,720 --> 02:09:35,480
Speaker 2: it and then didn't use it. Right, But that funeral

2494
02:09:35,600 --> 02:09:38,040
Speaker 2: joke that I never put on tape one of the

2495
02:09:38,120 --> 02:09:41,240
Speaker 2: funniest pieces I've ever gotten. It was just, you know,

2496
02:09:41,520 --> 02:09:44,560
Speaker 2: going to a black funeral and you know, and then

2497
02:09:44,640 --> 02:09:47,200
Speaker 2: I you know, like you know, funeral homes, like back

2498
02:09:47,240 --> 02:09:49,320
Speaker 2: in the day we lived in the hood, you had

2499
02:09:49,360 --> 02:09:51,160
Speaker 2: to take the body to the funeral home. They didn't

2500
02:09:51,160 --> 02:09:51,840
Speaker 2: do pickups.

2501
02:09:52,600 --> 02:09:56,040
Speaker 3: So my uncle died and we came home and he

2502
02:09:56,240 --> 02:09:58,760
Speaker 3: was dead, and we had to take him to the

2503
02:09:58,800 --> 02:09:59,480
Speaker 3: funeral home.

2504
02:10:00,200 --> 02:10:03,880
Speaker 2: Now, me and my nephew, we tend and my mom

2505
02:10:03,960 --> 02:10:06,040
Speaker 2: and daddy in the front, and they propped my uncle

2506
02:10:06,160 --> 02:10:08,240
Speaker 2: up in the back, sitting him up, and they put

2507
02:10:08,360 --> 02:10:10,800
Speaker 2: us on each side so he wouldn't fall over. Ye know,

2508
02:10:10,880 --> 02:10:14,920
Speaker 2: how fucking traumatized. I was we make a left turn.

2509
02:10:15,000 --> 02:10:18,760
Speaker 3: This he oon't me, He don't mean Mama helled me.

2510
02:10:19,160 --> 02:10:22,280
Speaker 3: You shut up and leave my brother quick pushing him.

2511
02:10:22,520 --> 02:10:25,120
Speaker 3: You know you're how hard it is to ride with

2512
02:10:25,280 --> 02:10:28,120
Speaker 3: your first dead person and you and you and your

2513
02:10:28,200 --> 02:10:30,680
Speaker 3: brother is bookends trying to prop his ass up.

2514
02:10:31,840 --> 02:10:32,120
Speaker 5: Brother.

2515
02:10:34,920 --> 02:10:37,960
Speaker 3: Listen to me, you need therapy after that ship. You

2516
02:10:38,080 --> 02:10:39,080
Speaker 3: got to go to therapy.

2517
02:10:39,320 --> 02:10:42,160
Speaker 2: And now I wrote a whole joke about that and

2518
02:10:42,840 --> 02:10:45,240
Speaker 2: taking him up there and took the suit down there

2519
02:10:45,320 --> 02:10:47,720
Speaker 2: for the funeral director to dress him in and everything.

2520
02:10:47,800 --> 02:10:50,000
Speaker 2: We get to the funeral and we opened up the

2521
02:10:50,080 --> 02:10:53,120
Speaker 2: cask and and my uncle ain't got the suit on.

2522
02:10:54,680 --> 02:10:58,000
Speaker 2: He got on a Michael Jordan's jog and suit with

2523
02:10:58,160 --> 02:11:02,680
Speaker 2: number two and three of the director to shoot. I

2524
02:11:02,840 --> 02:11:06,000
Speaker 2: used to I had wrote this ship. That ship was

2525
02:11:06,160 --> 02:11:10,520
Speaker 2: one of the greatest jokes. I never put that on tape, man,

2526
02:11:10,640 --> 02:11:13,080
Speaker 2: but that was one. If I came back, I had

2527
02:11:13,160 --> 02:11:13,880
Speaker 2: to release.

2528
02:11:13,680 --> 02:11:16,000
Speaker 3: That n f T release it as an FT.

2529
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:18,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, one of the first, one of the first.

2530
02:11:18,920 --> 02:11:23,600
Speaker 6: Actually, uh endorse and speak about Solano as to media.

2531
02:11:23,600 --> 02:11:27,400
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's behind that. Man. You explain how that

2532
02:11:27,480 --> 02:11:31,040
Speaker 3: would work, how you would put it as an NFT.

2533
02:11:31,280 --> 02:11:34,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I first I would do it like as

2534
02:11:34,840 --> 02:11:38,240
Speaker 6: a I would record it right, and then making a

2535
02:11:38,280 --> 02:11:40,680
Speaker 6: digital product and make it exclusive to the people who

2536
02:11:40,720 --> 02:11:43,480
Speaker 6: bought maybe create artwork around it and make it exclusive

2537
02:11:43,520 --> 02:11:45,720
Speaker 6: to the people. And then after they bought it, perhaps

2538
02:11:45,800 --> 02:11:48,960
Speaker 6: make it one night only where you actually perform.

2539
02:11:49,040 --> 02:11:50,720
Speaker 5: If they have the NFT, they get a whole big

2540
02:11:50,760 --> 02:11:51,400
Speaker 5: business around it.

2541
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:54,360
Speaker 3: They buy it in crypto, they can resell it. Every

2542
02:11:54,360 --> 02:11:57,000
Speaker 3: time they resell it, you get percentage on it. Percentage

2543
02:11:57,040 --> 02:11:57,200
Speaker 3: on it.

2544
02:12:00,520 --> 02:12:04,800
Speaker 5: To me, it's like, wait, that's it, man.

2545
02:12:04,840 --> 02:12:07,160
Speaker 3: You know how much of that stuff I got? Hey, man,

2546
02:12:07,640 --> 02:12:13,040
Speaker 3: do you know I have footage? I have at least

2547
02:12:20,760 --> 02:12:27,520

Speaker 2: and not have to look around.

2580
02:14:02,120 --> 02:14:06,040
Speaker 4: That's like I was with Singapore and Singapore that was

2581
02:14:06,080 --> 02:14:08,040
Speaker 4: like the most immaculate place that I've been to, Like

2582
02:14:08,160 --> 02:14:11,840
Speaker 4: it was just no poverty, nothing on it stet looked

2583
02:14:11,880 --> 02:14:12,880
Speaker 4: like we was in the future.

2584
02:14:13,040 --> 02:14:14,800
Speaker 3: Like it was like that was just like I ain't

2585
02:14:14,800 --> 02:14:16,280
Speaker 3: never been there. Oh it's crazy.

2586
02:14:16,280 --> 02:14:17,880
Speaker 4: You know when you go on the plane, so I

2587
02:14:18,000 --> 02:14:21,200
Speaker 4: was coming from Hong Kong, and when you go on

2588
02:14:21,280 --> 02:14:23,480
Speaker 4: the plane, you know how to give you those things

2589
02:14:23,560 --> 02:14:25,720
Speaker 4: to read, but nobody ever really reads it, Like I

2590
02:14:25,840 --> 02:14:28,760
Speaker 4: actually read it this time it said drug trafficking of

2591
02:14:28,840 --> 02:14:33,920
Speaker 4: any kind is punishable by death. Yeah, So then I

2592
02:14:34,040 --> 02:14:36,600
Speaker 4: get there and then my friend who he's with, his

2593
02:14:36,800 --> 02:14:39,160
Speaker 4: cousin actually was living out there, so she was telling

2594
02:14:39,280 --> 02:14:42,040
Speaker 4: us like there's no drugs, like they're serious about that,

2595
02:14:42,360 --> 02:14:45,560
Speaker 4: really no drugs, Like there's no drugs out there. But

2596
02:14:45,680 --> 02:14:47,840
Speaker 4: it was like, I'm like, because it's like one of

2597
02:14:47,880 --> 02:14:50,920
Speaker 4: the most expensive places to live, and she was like yeah,

2598
02:14:51,000 --> 02:14:54,440
Speaker 4: but everybody works. And she's like even like low income housing,

2599
02:14:54,480 --> 02:14:56,800
Speaker 4: it's like, are just a regular apartment, Like there's no poverty,

2600
02:14:56,840 --> 02:14:59,760
Speaker 4: there's no ghettos, there's no crime, there's no none of that.

2601
02:15:00,080 --> 02:15:02,400
Speaker 3: And it looked like we was in the future. What

2602
02:15:02,880 --> 02:15:03,840
Speaker 3: language is over there?

2603
02:15:04,840 --> 02:15:08,760
Speaker 4: Well, everybody spoke English because really, yeah, I forget what

2604
02:15:08,840 --> 02:15:10,560
Speaker 4: it like native language is now.

2605
02:15:10,640 --> 02:15:12,840
Speaker 3: Somebody was telling me to go to Singapore, but I

2606
02:15:12,960 --> 02:15:13,800

2610
02:15:21,800 --> 02:15:24,480
Speaker 6: talk about your foundation, the philanthropy work that you're doing well.

2611

02:15:31,880 --> 02:15:32,080
Speaker 3: Man.

2614
02:15:32,240 --> 02:15:36,640
Speaker 2: I'm in the process of closing a deal to buy

2615
02:15:36,800 --> 02:15:40,040

Speaker 2: my foundation to have to take that type of hit.

2623
02:16:04,720 --> 02:16:07,920
Speaker 2: There's a lot of money to buy, but this is

2624
02:16:08,040 --> 02:16:10,560
Speaker 2: going to give me a chance to do what Robert

02:20:48,320 --> 02:20:50,720
Speaker 3: at me like this. I don't get to say these

2716
02:20:50,800 --> 02:20:53,960
Speaker 3: types of things, So I appreciate it, app I appreciate

2717
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:55,960
Speaker 3: you more. Thank you guys for rocking with it.

2718
02:20:56,120 --> 02:20:58,800
Speaker 6: Before we go, we got to give thanks again to

2719
02:20:58,879 --> 02:21:03,000
Speaker 6: be make you that this happened, shouting the Cole All Black.

2720
02:21:02,879 --> 02:21:05,920
Speaker 5: Effect family for also making sure that this took place.

2721
02:21:06,000 --> 02:21:06,840
Speaker 5: So thank y'all.

2722
02:21:07,240 --> 02:21:09,960
Speaker 4: And I want to highlight his he's talking about it,

2723
02:21:10,080 --> 02:21:12,040
Speaker 4: but I think it's important to really say this on camera.

2724
02:21:12,160 --> 02:21:15,240
Speaker 4: So he talked about his lawyer, He talked about his stylust,

2725
02:21:15,320 --> 02:21:17,720
Speaker 4: He talked about TVD who helps him out a lot

2726
02:21:17,760 --> 02:21:21,920
Speaker 4: of financial issues. And they're all young black men and

2727
02:21:22,120 --> 02:21:24,720
Speaker 4: that's important too. Like he has his staff and a

2728
02:21:24,879 --> 02:21:29,960
Speaker 4: team of black professionals. He didn't have to compromise the

2729
02:21:30,120 --> 02:21:31,200
Speaker 4: entire A lot of time, we think we have to

2730
02:21:31,240 --> 02:21:33,280
Speaker 4: compromise the integrity. If we hired somebody black, he didn't

2731
02:21:33,320 --> 02:21:38,039
Speaker 4: compromise the integrity. People are extremely highly qualified, and that's

2732
02:21:38,080 --> 02:21:41,080
Speaker 4: something to highlight. It's like like Lebron you know different

2733
02:21:41,080 --> 02:21:43,400
Speaker 4: things that nature, but it's always good to see, you know,

2734
02:21:43,480 --> 02:21:48,440
Speaker 4: a team of black people, especially black men, working together.

2735
02:21:49,000 --> 02:21:50,040
Speaker 3: And they qualified too.

2736
02:21:50,080 --> 02:21:52,320
Speaker 2: Because when I put them boys in the room, I

2737
02:21:52,360 --> 02:21:54,840
Speaker 2: ain't got to be in there because I know they're

2738
02:21:54,840 --> 02:21:58,000
Speaker 2: gonna handle bits because they're smart and you ain't gonna

2739
02:21:58,040 --> 02:21:59,920
Speaker 2: run nothing by them. Doog, I ain't even worried about it.

2740
02:22:00,080 --> 02:22:02,760
Speaker 2: You can come in there. These cats got some minds

2741
02:22:02,800 --> 02:22:04,920
Speaker 2: on them. And like you say, I didn't hire black

2742
02:22:04,959 --> 02:22:09,240
Speaker 2: people that have to compromise. No, man, I'm actually I actually,

2743
02:22:09,720 --> 02:22:11,960
Speaker 2: I actually have an edge because to tell you what

2744
02:22:12,040 --> 02:22:14,640
Speaker 2: else it gives me, Man, gives me a comfort level.

2745
02:22:15,400 --> 02:22:18,000
Speaker 2: Cause you know, man, sometimes, Man, when you out here

2746
02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:20,520
Speaker 2: in this world as an hour for mail, it's lonely

2747
02:22:20,600 --> 02:22:23,160
Speaker 2: out here. You're out here operating with people that don't

2748
02:22:23,200 --> 02:22:25,320
Speaker 2: look like you, talk like you. Some of them don't

2749
02:22:25,320 --> 02:22:26,959
Speaker 2: want to really be bothered with you, but you had

2750
02:22:27,000 --> 02:22:28,840
Speaker 2: ability to make money, so they tolerate you.

2751
02:22:29,320 --> 02:22:29,520
Speaker 5: Well.

2752
02:22:29,879 --> 02:22:32,600
Speaker 2: When I'm home and I'm sitting around my guys. I

2753
02:22:32,720 --> 02:22:34,320
Speaker 2: want the comfort level. I want to be able to

2754
02:22:34,400 --> 02:22:36,760
Speaker 2: talk like I talk, say what I say now. If

2755
02:22:36,800 --> 02:22:39,480
Speaker 2: I far off a word that ain't politically correct, ain't

2756
02:22:39,520 --> 02:22:40,640
