33
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: You know, for me, New York's my favorite city in

34
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: the world to kind of do something that's never been done.

35
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: There's really not a sports festival anywhere in the world,

36
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: and you have this. When we think about this, you

37
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: have so many other festivals. You have Comic Com which

38
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: takes over in New York City gets a quarter of a

39
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: million people. You've got Complex Com, which I'm going to

40
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: go to in November, and Vegas. You've got you know,

41
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: all the music festivals. You've got south By Southwest and

42
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 1: I don't know why no one's ever done this. In sports,

43
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: you've got the trading card shows, which they have a

44
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: thousand of in the country. But I went to a

45
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: trading card show. There's a big trading card show called

46
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: the National which gets one hundred and fifty thousand people.

47
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 5: Is that one in Atlantic City?

48
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: It was in Atlantic City a couple of years ago.

49
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: It was in Cleveland a few weeks ago. So change

50
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: the cities each year, and you walk in there, You're like,

51
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: this is nuts. There's one hundred and fifty thousand people.

52
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: But it looks like when I went to high school.

53
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: So it hasn't changed since like the nineties. And so

54
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: I basically went to comic kind of New York City

75
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: it's just it's for me. It's like, what would you

76
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: want every sports fan to dream of doing if they

77
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: could just not be the actual sports event and come.

78
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: So you've got like NFL will be there, and you can,

79
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, see all the Super Bowl rings since they've

80
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: had a Super Bowl, all the Lombardi trophies.

81
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: I see Tom Brady, Eli and Peyton. Is that true?

82
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow? Absolutely?

83
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 5: How would that work?

84
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: Because IVE seen him sign an autograph, so you can

85
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: buy an autograph signed jersey there or they just win jerseys.

86
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,639

87
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: up to either get your picture with them and you

88
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,680

157
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 1: Michael Rumy, So, look.

158
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 5: You're not invited to the White Party, but you invited

159
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 5: into this.

160
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: Everything to you guys who generally invited everything. The one

161
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: thing I'll say is like, look, I love bringing people

162
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: together and that comes from the way I learned. And

163
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: the thing that people don't get about me because everyone

164
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: thinks I'm being self deprecating, but actually being serious. Like

165
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: when you got a seven eighty combined on your SATs,

166
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: you barely made out of high school, you went to

167
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: college for part of a semester, and you haven't read

168
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: a full books. And I've read a book since ninth grade.

169
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: That's nothing to brag about, okay, but it's.

170
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: Pretty seven eight and sts pretty bad is pretty combined

171
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: out of sixteen hundred.

172
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: Not the best of learning.

173
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: And so the way I learn is from people around me.

174
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: So I'm much better to ask you questions, to ask

175
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: you questions, ask you questions, and so I love bringing

176
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: people from different backgrounds together so we can all learn

177
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: from each other. And that's the way. That's the way

178
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: I've always learned. I've always like asked questions, not been

179
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: afraid to ask whatever's on my mind. And so I

180
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: think when I started the White Party, it was really

181
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: about how do I know, take this really diverse group

182
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: of friends, Like I have friends go from Robert craft

183
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: UNEs the New doing the Patriots, to Travis Scott to

184
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, to meet to you know, commissioner of a

185
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: sport to a CEO of Airbnb or the CEO of Uber.

186
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: So it's like bringing all these people together and I

187
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: love doing that. The thing with fanatics pest it says,

188
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: how do you create this incredible sports gathering? And you

189
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: don't have that other than actual games. And I think

190
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: there's so many things that you can do at a

191
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl or a MLB All Star Game or an

192
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: NBL Star Game for that each sport, but no one

193
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: brings it all together. And then generally it's pretty hard

194
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: to get the athletes, the artists, the you know, players

195
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: to come through and really support. So we try to

196
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: do a bunch of special things, like you know, Travis

197
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: Scott's launching cactus Jack exclusive trading cards at fanatics Fest

198
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Those are going to be and those cards.

199
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: People are going crazy for those cards. I've never had

200
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: more people hit me up and say, Yo, how do

201
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: I get those cactus Jack you know, m willb trading

202
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: cards that you're launching at fanatics Fest. So there's a

203
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: lot of exclusive products as well. So it's really trying

204
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: to just create lots of things for everybody. My goal

205
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: the test of this like if we succeed, Okay, we'll

206
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: be at the end of the show. Do people do

207
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: the tens of thousands of fans that came say we

208
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: love being there, like this was awesome. Do the talent

209
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: that came through say, hey, this actually wasn't something that

210
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: like we felt like we were Fortunately we love doing

211
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: it and that right now I'm feeling because people keep

212
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: hitting me up and say how can I get involved?

213
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: How can I do more? And then do we take

214
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: over social? I want, like the way the White Party

215
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: takes over social. I want this to be Fanatics Fest

216
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: needs to own the weekend. Thank god, you know, great

Speaker 1: as well, which is great, a lot of gold medals.

221
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 3: It's definitely going to dominate socials absolutely.

222
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 6: And when you have all of these different groups of

223
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 6: people from you know, different industries, like everybody's gonna chatting about.

224
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: That, and we got crazy stuff. Like the thing I'm

225
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: most excited about last night I was. I was up

Speaker 1: every stunt, Like we got stunts every hour, like one

228
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: of the cool things. When I went to this the

229
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: show that used to be in Atlantic City was in

230
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: Atlantic City, that was in Cleveland a few weeks ago,

231
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: I saw two guys in full Oakland A's uniforms and

232
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: I called my guys up and like, yo, everyone dresses

280
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: competitions there.

281
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 7: How long is the fest? Because I know the white

282
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 7: party is thirteen hours.

283
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: So I specialized along of it. Yeah, the White Party

284
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: is a test of seeing what you're made of. And

285
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you we drank the.

286
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 7: Full third people drink the four thirteen hours definitely Wow.

287
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: So the White Party starts at five pm and it

288
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: ended at six am this year, and there were probably

289
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: three hundred people when it ended, and there's only there

290
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: was less than fo hundred people at the total party.

291
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: So that means most people can good resilience. I'd say

292
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: you trained for it. The funny thing is like what

293
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons calls me, says like, yo, man, I'm training

294
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: for this. I'm getting into training. Like you know, people

295
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: call and saying, I gotta gotta build my durance something.

296
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 3: No reason to be at a party for thirteen You know.

297
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: What people would say. People would say they have such

298
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: a great time. There's so many great people saying. Remember

299
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: it's four different parties within the parties, so you start

300
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: with you know, cocktails, and there's really a lot of

301
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: good I think business things that come from that. You

302
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: know so many you know, when you have CEOs of

303
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: some of the best consumer companies together with you know,

304
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: best artists, best athletes together with just iconic business people.

305
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: Like a lot of things come from that. We've also

306
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: made created a lot of relationships out of there too,

307
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: a lot of marriages, relationships.

308
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: I heard with Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones.

Speaker 1: there's so many great relationships that have started and created there,

316
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,959

00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 7: Drake was there this year and everybody was like, oh

326
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 7: they weren't allowed to play, not like us, Like does

00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 7: that stuff bother you?

328
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 4: And was that even true.

329
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: It was true, and and and look for me, Look,

330
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm always you know, I just don't think, you know,

331
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: Drake's my friend for a long time. I'm not gonna

332
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: invite him and then have you know, you know, he's look,

333
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: he's obviously going through he's going through a little bit

334
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,920

00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 4: And being battle more battle.

337
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: I just didn't think it was appropriate. So I just

338
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: said a notice. I said, hey, let's not play you know,

339
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: anyone's music. That's feudy when anyone's there. I mean, look,

340
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: you gotta but that was a you decision. It wasn't

341
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: like Drake was like no players of me decisions. It

342
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: was the proper thing. I will I will tell you

343
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: the day before we had a small barbecue for a

344
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: few hours that was supposed to be thirty people, turned

345
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: into two hundred people and went for about ten hours.

346
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: The night before that was the pre game to the

347
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: to the White Party, and they turned the music on

348
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: just like in my house, like it was. They put

349
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: rap caviar and not like Us came on. It was

350
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: like in the middle of not like us, I'm like,

351
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: get that off, get that Drake was there. He was

352
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: pulling up super Yeah. It wasn't I throw me under

353
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: the bus like that.

354
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: Did you see the memes of your pictures with Drake

355
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: or you and Drake, and everybody's like, Drake looks so sad.

356
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: He had a by the way, he had a great time.

357
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: Look you got if there's one thing someone just said

358
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: something to me on social media, you gotta be built

359
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: for social media. You gotta be tough, you gotta take

360
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: ship from people. I actually one of the those people

361
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: don't understand about my personal I actually liked the abuse.

362
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: I actually like it doesn't bother me at all. You know, Look,

363
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: Drake is an iconic artist that we all have tremendous

364
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: respect for. You know, obviously you can't what I said

365
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: to Drake, and I really believe this is this is

366
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: a great test for him, Like you can't get to

367
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: where he's got to and not have people coming for you.

368
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: I know, you know, I sleep with one eye open.

369
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: I know right now. You know, we're in three businesses.

370
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: People coming for me in every business every day, and

371
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: that's part of you know, which success comes, you know,

372
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: more competition, more hatred, and you know, the best people

373
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: show why they're the best and if you're not the best,

374
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: to crack and you fall apart. So I think this

375
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: is a great test for him. I think you know,

376
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: he's going to come out with, you know, lots of

377
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: incredible music, and I think people right, I think people

378
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: are going to say, that's why Drake is Drake. So

379
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: I like that test for him.

380
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 6: I think social media bothers you a little bit because

381
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 6: one thing I did notice from the White party, I

382
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 6: didn't see any hugs.

383
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: There was no hugs from the best, So no.

384
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: One was a bigger hugger than me. I will say

385
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: I pay attention to everything, and I decided people right

386
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: or wrong. I think that was pathetic. I think it

387
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: was a joke a little baby. Yeah. Look, by the way,

388
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: you know what I hate when watching a black person

389
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: trying to take a black person down. That's fucked up. Okay,

390
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: let's keep it real. Okay, Baby is one of the

391
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: best human beings in the planet. There's not a person

392
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: who will always do more for his community, who's a

393
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: great human being who works his ass off. And here's

394
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: what happened with Baby. Baby did great and then people

395
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: came for him. Okay, and then you know what happened.

396
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: Then he comes out with more great music and he

397
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: shows why he's Baby, And so for me, it actually

398
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: it was one of the few things in my life

399
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: that ate it me because I felt responded even though like,

400
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: look the amount of people.

401
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 5: Just showing him love. I mean, people would just make

402
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 5: a jokes, but it was, well.

403
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: Let's keep this real. The amount of people who I've

404
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: in a thirteen hour drunken party, okay, that I've jumped

405
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: on their back and someone's caught a picture is like,

406
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: I've done that a thousand times now. I will tell

407
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: you that, like in my head, you know that ain't

408
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: happen anymore, just because I will, Like, if it was me,

409
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: I would think it's funny, but it actually hurt him

410
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: a little bit for you, and that ate it me.

411
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: That did eat it me. But you know what again,

412
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: the one thing I'd say, when you're doing great, people

413
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: try to test you. And I think that's a great

414
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's a great character test. And

415
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: I think Baby showed why he's him. Drake's in the

416
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: show why why He's Him? And you know, for me,

417
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,959
Speaker 1: last year is probably the first time people ever came

418
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: to me I've generally been you know, I think people

419
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: showed me a lot of love and support. And you know,

420
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: last year I realized, you know, NAS got a little bigger,

421
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: I became a little more well known, and so hey,

422
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,239
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's easy to try to pick up

423
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: me for things. So yes, I am a little more careful.

424
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 3: Now, don't let nobody stop you from hugging people.

425
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm gonna i'm many people.

426
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 3: From the back as you want.

427
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 5: I've never seen you hu the back. You never grabbed

428
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 5: Ja from the back.

429
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: I've hugged everywhere. First of all, I've hugged at if

00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: you get me, really.

431
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 7: Don't tell him you hug jay Z from the bag.

432
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm a hugger.

433
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 3: Drunk, you hug any man from the back of what

434
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:49,120

Speaker 1: I'm going to say to you, I believe in I

438
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: believe in hugging. I'm you know what, I want to

439
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: spread love all the time. You know, hugs are about love.

440
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: And you know I love baby and I love my friends.

441
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: You know, I'm lucky to have so many great friends

442
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: around me. So yes, when I see you, you are

443
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: getting a drunken hug one time and you know you're

444
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna like it because we're okay, and you know, and

445
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: that's that's remember that night we hold on. That's affection,

446
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: and that's just respectful, have so much respect and love

447
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: for you. And you know when someone starts trying to

448
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: say that's not love, that's fucking bullshit. Okay, you know

449
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: what that is. That's just people want to hate it

450
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: on each other and trying to take people down. Accept

451
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: that we would accept.

452
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 6: After the jay Z's Museum thing last year and you

453
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 6: were drunk and you came with me, I don't you

454
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 6: even think about it?

455
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: It was still fresh then, was it was?

456
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 3: It?

457
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: Did I then hug you or not?

458
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 3: You did hug me perfect exactly.

459
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, the amount of the amount of incredible,

460
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: iconic athletes that have jumped on my back and given

461
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: me hugs in moments, I mean that was like somebody

462
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: just caught a picture. And by the way, I told

463
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: I was with a couple of nights ago. It was

464
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: his blue hair. That was the thing that basically it was.

465
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: You know, if you didn't have that, that blue hair,

466
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: that was what that was what killed the whole thing

467
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: was the picture. It was me, baby and CAUs and

468
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: like it was probably like one tenth of one second

469
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: that someone caught the picture and then it got out there.

470
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: And you know, but anyway, look to me.

471
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 5: Just want hug whoever you want.

472
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: But aside, I want to spread love all the time,

473
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: and people should hug each other all the time, and

474
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: people shouldn't say, oh, it's not cool if someone gave

475
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: someone a drunken hug. And what sucks is that it

476
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: actually did hurt baby for a period of time. That's

477
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: the fucked up thing. And that's the thing that I

478
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: don't like.

479
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 4: What do you mean by hurt? And I would like

480
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 4: he was upset about.

481
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: One bit upset about because he's tough and he's built. Yeah,

482
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: but it's just people took it. It's just a way

483
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: of like saying, oh baby ain't right, Oh he's this,

484
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: or he's it's all bullshit. It's just people. It's people

485
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: that want to hate with success. And to me, I

486
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: want everyone around me to do great. I want nothing's

487
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: gonna make me happy. Then you guys doing great, You

488
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: guys killing there everything you do. That's how we all

489
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: push each other up. And so that's how we all

490
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: learn from each other and grow together. Yeah, and so

491
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: I think you just got to like push aside that

492
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: that negativity.

493
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: Anything with me. When they keep bringing up the bunny happened,

494
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 3: they said you made him do money.

495
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: So, by the way, let's talk about that. There's nobody

496
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: there's nobody who's been more tortured this year than me.

497
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: Talk about the diddy thing. Now, I know Meek really

498
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: really well. And I've never been to a ditty party.

499
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: He's never been in one of my parties in my life.

500
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: But I want to get this out there. Okay, Meek,

501
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: I know that guy really really well. Okay, everyone going

502
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: around trying to say and by if he was gay,

503
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: who cares? There's not a gay bone in his body.

504
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: You guys know him like I know him. I've been

505
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: around him more than anybody. Okay for people to just

506
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: like the internet, like a friend, one of my best

507
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 1: friends said to me, I think Meek's gay. Now, I'm

508
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: like why, because I've read it ten thousand times. There's

509
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 1: not a gay bone and that guy's body. So it's like,

510
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: why do people want to bring somebody down? Why do

511
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: people want to hate on somebody? Why someone go lie

512
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: on somebody and by talk about the bunny hops. Okay,

513
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: now you're talking about the most unathletic person in planet

514
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: Earth is Michael Ruban. I pride myself on that. And why,

515
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: by the way, why do I put the funny videos

516
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,239
Speaker 1: out making fun of myself Because I want people to know,

517
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: you know what, you could suck at sports and be

518
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: the person who's pick last all the time. You can

519
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: be the person that was terrible at school. Remember I

520
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: barely graduate high school, okay, and then you can work

521
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: your ass off and the great business. So I'm trying

522
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: to show people do what you're great at and exceling that, right. Okay.

523
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: But so now Meek says to me, we're in the Bahamas.

524
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: He's there with his family and there with my family

525
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: four or five years ago, okay, and meets learning tennis

526
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty shitty tennis. So we played tennis game. Now,

527
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: this was one pathetic athletic event, Like if you want

528
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: to see like two horrible tennis players going at it. Somehow,

529
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: it was very close. And so Meet says to me

530
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game, he says, what do

531
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: you want to bet? I'm like, what do you want

532
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: to bet it, like I'm not generally a like I

533
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: don't want to ever take money for my friends or

534
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: bet money, but if they want to, He's like, let's

535
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: do push ups. I'm like, great, fifty push ups. Great,

536
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: He's actually, let's do bunny hops. I said, what's a

537
00:21:54,840 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: bunny hop? So it makes like you go like this

538
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: he's teaching me what any I never saw before.

539
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 7: I don't know that's one of those things you.

540
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: Like, he said, we do it all the time, right,

541
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: So I didn't even know what. I've never heard of

542
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: a bunny hop before. Okay, so now now we do it.

543
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: Then when I put it out like of course, because

544
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: I was making fun of because I had no idea

545
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: what people would turn this into. I put it on

546
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: my story just making fun of him, like, yeah, I

547
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: kicked your ass and tennis like it's fun. I actually

548
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: want something in sports, like almost a miracle. I should

549
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: have a celebration. Okay, no one says the thing that

550
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: five years later, you know, people want to Now it's

551
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: the turn. You know who we're gonna hate on this one.

552
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: So let's hate on me. Oh, Meek's gay because some

553
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: guy made up a lie. Okay, So let's hate on

554
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: him for that and just try to change the narrative

555
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: and oh, you know, white billionaire telling you know, black

556
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: men to do bunny hops. Actually he told me to

557
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: do bunny hops. It was his bet and sorry that

558
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: he sucked in tennis, Like okay, let's keep it real.

559
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: So like that that's the short in everyone. By the way,

560
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: probably any sport other than the scheme, which is obviously

561
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: a way sport, that's the only sport I could probably

562
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: get to me. But you know, like the thing I

563
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: don't like about that is it doesn't bother me. For me,

564
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: it bothers me that it actually when I see the

565
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: narrative of a really good friend of mine like Meek,

566
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: and people trying to you know, again, if he was gay,

567
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: which there's not one gable on everybody who cares. Number one,

568
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: let's if people want to be gay, this is twenty

569
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: twenty four, Who the fuck cares? Okay, number two, there's

570
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: not a gay blee on his body, So like, why

571
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: do people want to lie about that? Why do people

572
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: want to change a narrative of bet he maybe me

573
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: to try to hurt him? Like that is the one

574
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: thing I've learned about you know. Look, I'm just being

575
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: blunt because it's me. So the one thing I've learned

576
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: about black culture that I don't like is that black

577
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: hate on.

578
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 6: Hate speaking that more. I heard you say that early

579
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 6: and I wanted you to expound on that. You said

580
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 6: you don't like to see black people tearing down other

581
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 6: black people.

582
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's horrible, like like it's horrible, like what Like

583
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: I want to support every Look you got two you

584
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: guys know me pretty well. Anything I can help with,

585
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: I'm always there. I always want to be helpful. I

586
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: feel lucky and fortunate to do what I do every

587
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: day it be is you know, whatever success I've had,

588
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: I feel blessed to do that, and I want to

589
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: give back in every way I can, you know, in

590
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: business and in charitable things. I'm always trying to be helpful,

591
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: Like why does someone want to bring somebody else down?

592
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: Like's try to build everybody up, like, you know, I'd

593
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: be more excited if, you know, if I'd be more

594
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: excited to see one of my friends do something that's

595
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent less meaningful to me, but it would

596
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: be really meaningful to them because I want them to

597
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: do great. I want everyone around me to do great.

598
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: I don't like watching you know, there's a little bit

599
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: and you tell me, you guys, correct me if you

600
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: think I'm wrong. I think there's a little bit of

601
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: a black culture of like it's black hate on Hate's

602
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: like that black judge that me had that hated on

603
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: him and want to put in go extra hard on him. Okay,

604
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: it's like I like, it's what people always say to me.

605
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: It's like black hate on hate. So I think it's terrible.

606
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: I think it's something that it's I think it's culturally wrong.

607
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: And I'm probably get killed for saying this because you know,

608
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: you're you know, I'm glad.

609
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 6: You're saying it openly. If this is the conversations that

610
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 6: are I have it.

611
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: All the time that yeah, I want to hear this.

612
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I think it's wrong. I think, like, why

613
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: do you not want to build everyone up around you?

614
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: Why do you not want everyone around you to do great?

615
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: The best way for everyone to do great is to

616
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: push each other up. Okay, I'm always pushing everyone around me.

617
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: It's why I spend, you know, a quarter of my

618
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: days helping other people because I want them to do great.

619
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's why people always If you

620
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: think about this, no one ever came at me before

621
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: last year. Okay, last year we had the bunny hops

622
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: you brought up, you brought up the right okay, which

623
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: you're each completely made up. None of these things had

624
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: any real you know, No, they weren't real. They were

625
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: made up to hurt people. Okay, Yet everyone still can't

626
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: comes out for me because they're real, authentic relationships, and

627
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: I want to help everyone in everywhere I can. So

628
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: to me, if I could say one thing, Let's everyone

629
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: go out with a positive energy. You try to make

630
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: everyone do great around us and build people up. Let's

631
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: not try to bring people down. You don't. You don't

632
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: do better by taking your competition down. You do better

633
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: by pushing everyone up together. You want all the wind

634
00:25:59,440 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: behind your back.

635
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 6: So when you see other when you see black people

636
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 6: tearing other black people down, in your mind, you'd be like,

637
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 6: I would never do business with that person because of

638
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 6: how they treat their own people.

639
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: Well, I don't see. I I don't really see the

640
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: people I'm around tearing people down. What I see is

641
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: the conversations that we have about people tearing you know,

642
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 1: trying to tear them down. And I think, like, you know,

643
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: even if a lot, Meek doesn't bring it up a lot,

644
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: but I'll bring up to me and be like, like,

645
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: look when you grow up the way Meek did you

646
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: up the way Baby did it? Like, these guys are tough. Okay,

647
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: you know you grow up. You didn't even think you

648
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: were going to make it to the age you are today.

649
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: You know, you're coming out of a pretty violent background.

650
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: You know, I think you feel fortunate, but I think

651
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: the reality is like they're aware that, you know, there's

652
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: a lot of hate that comes with their success, even

653
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: if like someone's trying to get out, I grew up

654
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 1: in a ruthless environment, and you know, I don't you know,

655
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: I'm trying to improve the people that are around me.

656
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: It's like then the people that you know you grew

657
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: up with their they want they want to take you

658
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: down because you don't have the same people around you.

659
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: How about you want to grow and you expand And

660
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you don't want to help the people.

661
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: Meet does so much for his community, you know, a

662
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: completely different situation, but Baby does so much for his community.

663
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: Like so I just that whole thing really does bother

664
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: me because I think it's wrong, and I think it's

665
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 1: culturally hurting the outcome of the black community. I think

666
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: it would be much better if everyone trying to push

667
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: each other upla community. Let let's let's keep it. Look, look,

668
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm Jewish, I'm not remotely real, I'm not

669
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: remotely religious. Okay, it's just who I have never have been. Okay,

670
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: But the hate toward Jewish people, now, it's horrible and

671
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: it's it does not affecting it. I feel more bad

672
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: for like my daughter, you know, you see, like you know,

673
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: she's going to USC next year, and like you have

674
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: you know, you have situations where people can't even get

675
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: into their college because they're you know, they you know,

676
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: Cornell and New York City in New York City, Columbia.

677
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: New York City literally couldn't even control and make it

678
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: safe for Jewish students to be there. Like, like, why

679
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: is this good? This is horrible? Like we all want

680
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: to bring people together. By the way, why don't I

681
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: want to do finags Fest because I want to bring

682
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: tens of thousand sports fans together. Why is sports great

683
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: because it brings community together? Hate is bad. Any type

684
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: of hate sucks. It's by my dear friend Robert Craft

685
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: started the Blue Square to eliminate hate. Like if you'd say,

686
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: in life, if we could just like get people to

687
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: always support each other, get rid of hate, like that's

688
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, why is this all this killing all the time.

689
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: It's from hate.

690
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: And so if you have a lot of conversations about

691
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 2: it and the Jewish community, do you guys support each

692
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: other more?

693
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 5: Do you see more support?

694
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: I think in most communities other than you know, I

695
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: think in most communities people are pretty to support, like

696
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: like I support everyone around me. I don't care, you know, black, white, purple, yellow, gay,

697
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: I don't care, like I'm gonna support everyone around me.

698
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: That's that's why I've aways been built to push everybody up,

699
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: to push everyone around me. I think that's generally great

700
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: for me. You know, I think most communities do it that, right.

701
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you tell me, do you think I'm right

702
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: or wrong about you? Be honest?

703
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 6: I mean, listen, it's uncomfortable to hear you say it

704
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 6: as a Jewish man, right, But I can't say that

705
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 6: you're wrong.

706
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 3: That's why.

707
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 6: But one thing I always say is that when I'm

708
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,479
Speaker 6: talking about like what we call uncle Tom's I always say,

709
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 6: all of these Uncle Tom, black men think white people

710
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 6: like that, and they don't.

711
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 3: They think that people that are in.

712
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 6: White people are Jewish people, white people Jewish whoever, in

713
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 6: positions of power, they think that they like to sell

714
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 6: outs amongst us, and they don't. They don't like to

715
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 6: see a black person selling out another black person.

716
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: I say that all the time. Right, So, I was

717
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: going to ask you about.

718
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 6: A There's a guy named sid Rosenberg who called Vice

719
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 6: President Kamala Harris's husband a bad Jew. So when you

720
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 6: hear language like that, is that the same as is

721
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 6: that self hate amongst Jewish people.

722
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't know any of the background to it. I

723
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: don't even know her husband was Jewish. He just told me.

724
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 3: But you've heard that term before, though. You've heard somebody

725
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: called somebody a bad.

726
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: Jew and people. People have told me I'm a bad

727
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: Jew and that like that. People tell me I'm not

728
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: doing enough for the Jewish community. You know, people say

729
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: to me, you do so much for the black community.

730
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: You start the reform, aligned just spend so much money,

731
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: time and energy to you know, fix the probation parole system.

732
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 1: Why have you done more for the Jewish community. You know,

733
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: for me, I never I was always great at giving

734
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: money away. I never did the work. And then when obviously,

735
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: and you guys know the story so well, when you know,

736
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: Meek went to prison for not committing a crime, and

737
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in that courtroom and watching what was a

738
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: really close friend of mine, you know, go to get

739
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: sent to two to four years prison for popping and

740
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: wheeling on a motorcycle. It like, that was the most

741
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: out of control I ever felt in my life, because

742
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm used to in business being able to control my

743
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: own destiny. And I think that's when my whole perspective changed.

744
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: I like really having to not just give money, but

745
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: really make a difference. And I think that's when you know,

746
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: once you got out, we started the Reform Alliance. Now

747
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: we have this giant Make a Wish partnership which everyone's

748
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: so excited about, where we do every sports wish. We

749
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: helped to make it better and crazy, to get the

750
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: athletes really involved, to make the wishes great for the kids,

751
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: and like we like, we love giving back. I get

752
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: told them a bad joo all the time because like, hey,

753
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: people say, you've only posted ten times about what's going

754
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: on but to me do things that are authentic. I

755
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: got so emotionally involved in fixing probation and parole once

756
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: I saw how fucked up the system was, and so

757
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm honored to do that. You also can't do all

758
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: things to all people. Make a Wish the way I

759
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: got sucked into it, which was actually amazing. I really

760
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: didn't like everyone knows of make a Wish, but I

761
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: didn't know how it worked. And a kid had a

762
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: wish to do something of the Sixers, and he went

763
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: to sit courtside of the Sixers, and so I set

764
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: up on the court side of the Sixers and we

765
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: were playing the Lando Magical like three or four years ago.

766
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: Three years ago, I said to the kid, look, you know,

767
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: after he beat the Magic, when I'm bringing in the

768
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: locker room to meet jo all and meet James, meet everybody.

769
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: And the Magic at that point sucked. They were like

770
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the NBA, and of

771
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: course we lost to the Magic. It was really embarrassing.

772
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: So I went in the locker room. I said to

773
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: Joe and James, I said, hey, I'm bringing this kid

774
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: from Make a Wish into the locker room. And they said,

775
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: like we just lost against the Magic. Don't bring a

776
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,959
Speaker 1: fucking person in the locker room, I said, Now I'm

777
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: bringing them anyway. Of course I didn't listen. I bought

778
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: this kid in the locker room. The team probably spent

779
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: forty five minutes with this kid, and literally that night

780
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: Joe hit me, James hit me, Tobias, Harris hit me, MAXI.

781
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: But they're all like, yo, that that puts everything in perspective,

782
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,479
Speaker 1: Like seeing this kid listening to his story, you know,

783
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: like man, that that that really like, thank you for

784
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: doing that. We then called the Serial of Making Wish

785
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: and said we want to be the exclusive person to

786
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: do all of your sports wishes. We love stuff like that,

787
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: so again, for me, you have to do things that

788
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: are authentic, Like we can't do a lot of things,

789
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: but like you know, when I get caught a bad jo,

790
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: does it bother me a little bit? Yes, because I

791
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: think I'm doing everything that's comfortable for me. But I

792
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: can also fight every fight. Like we spend a lot

793
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: of time on probation for all we form, we spend

794
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: a lot of time on Make a Wish. And you know,

795
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: I work seventeen hours a day at Fanatics, which is

796
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: you know my part time job.

797
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 5: Do you guys own into seventy six is at old?

798
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 5: Do you miss that job?

799
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: No? I'll tell you why. I think when I bought,

800
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: when we did the Sixers Day on twenty eleven, I

801
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: was in a different part of my life and I

802
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: think Fanatics was way less established, and I think we

803
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: were a much smaller company. It really got. It went

804
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: from in the early days helping the growth of Fanatics

805
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: and helping it was kind of like a little bit

806
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: of a business development platform. And then I learned so

807
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: much from the Sixers and I was able to really

808
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: help in a meaningful way to as Fanatics got a

809
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: lot bigger. Now we have thousands of deals with individual

810
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: athletes which are prohibited by all the leagues, went out

811
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: in the betting business, which is prohibited to take bets

812
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: on your own team. It was really in the way

813
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: of Fanatics growth, and so selling the stake and the

814
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: Sixers allowed me to just take finets to the next level.

815
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: And on top of that, I'll tell you, I don't

816
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: think there could be a bigger opportunity for me in

817
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: my life when I look at where Fanatics is today

818
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm just getting started with it,

819
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: and I look at like I just watched the Nike

820
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: movie like a year ago Nike era, and you look

821
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: at that and you're like, he's eighty seven today. Okay,

822
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this for the rest of my life.

823
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: Like my opportunity is massive, and I have so much

824
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: gratification and satisfaction of working around you know, hundreds of

825
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: millions of incredible sports fans and incredible athletes, and you know,

826
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: to get to spend time with guys, like you said,

827
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: you just it's such a fun job. I don't want

828
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: anything to be in the way of it. Also will

829
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: tell you that my relationships with everyone is so much

830
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: cleaner now because I think before I felt like guys

831
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: where I was friends with would still look at me

832
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: a little bit different, like you know, Book or Jason

833
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: Tatum or they. When I owned the Sixers, I felt

834
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: like there was just always a little bit, hey, it's

835
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: going to the Sixers guy. Now it's kind of like

836
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: everyone knows I'm just their guy, and you know, we

837
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: have an authentic relationship and so and by the way,

838
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: we do a lot of business. A lot of these

839
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: guys do you know their significant partners, So it really

840
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: cleaned up the relationship.

841
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 4: Does it ever?

842
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 7: Does it ever get to you when people say stuff

843
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 7: like because you seem like such a nice guy, that

844
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 7: like why are all these artists fling into this white guy?

845
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 7: Or like why do they want to support this white guy?

846
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 7: Like especially because they show up for you so much.

847
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't. I didn't even know that narrative

848
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 1: till about a year ago. So I like I i'd

849
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: say in the the last year was an adjustment for

850
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: me because I went from I'd say up until a

851
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: year ago, it was all love to me all the time,

852
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: and then the white party took on a life of

853
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: its own. For that, it's not a lot bigger. We

854
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: got in multiple businesses and so then you had, you know,

855
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: someone start that narrative on the bunny hups. You get

856
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: someone start the narrative on the baby with the hugs,

857
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: And so then I started asking questions because I was

858
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: oblivious to it all okay, and people people told me

859
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: that narrative is out there. So I think what I

860
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: always want to do is be super aware and make

861
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: sure that I'm always doing so much for everybody to

862
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: make sure that like they feel like the relationship is

863
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: great for them, And so I'd say I'm more sensitive

864
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: to make sure that no one I don't want to

865
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: ever do anything with somebody that's not great for them.

866
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: I'd say I'm more sensitive to make sure I'm doing

867
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: that today. Like someone just told me something a couple

868
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, like, hey, one person who doesn't like

869
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: me because they don't get invited to the White Party

870
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: is telling people, well, all these people perform for Michael.

871
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: So I'm making sure, like, hey, I don't want you

872
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: to perform unless you really want to perform. And by

873
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: the way, I'm trying to get and I'm always trying

874
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: to help you. There's so many businesses if you think

875
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: about it, like, look at Jay Z. He's an investor

876
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: in for Now. We own Fanatic Sports book together. We

877
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: own Mitchell Nest together.

878
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 3: You know.

879
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: Look at Travis, we're doing the collapse together. Look at

880
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: met Keeps an investor in Lids. By the way, makes

881
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: single best investment in his life. You know, Hope, i'mon't

882
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: get in trouble for saying this, but it put two

883
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,959
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars in the Lids and got eight million

884
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: dollars back. Wow.

885
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 3: Okay, go ahead, meet, shout out to meat.

886
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: Yeah. So so like I always want my friends to

887
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: do great and I'm always working to do things that

888
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: are great for my friends. So does it bother me? Look,

889
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: I am the most thick skinned individual you'll meet. I mean,

890
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm the most self deprecating person. I love to make

891
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: fun of myself, Like when I put out the baseball

892
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: thing and show how un coordinated im. Everyone makes fun

893
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: of me. I think it's funny. Does it hurt me

894
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: a little bit if it's hurting somebody else, yes, that's

895
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: someone wherever I think, like you know, if something is

896
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: I want everything I do to be great for people.

897
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't ever want to do anything but help people.

898
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 6: I read someone that you were selling you were trying

899
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 6: to sell some mistake in fanatics too.

900
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: Completely made up.

901
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 3: That wasn't true.

902
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: Okay, bye bye, Way. It's crazy now that I've learned

903
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: about and look, you guys deal with this because when

904
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: you get more well known, people just make nowadays, how

905
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: many times has anyone ever say anything got you? It's

906
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: completely unrue. So so somebody reaches out and says, hey,

907
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: we heard that you turned off your IPO, that you

908
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: were going to go public and you're not not going public,

909
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: and also that you're selling a billion dollars in your company.

910
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: So we've never even had a discussion about going public.

911
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: Will we eventually go public? Most likely? Have we had

912
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: one discussion with one bank about it? Not one okay,

913
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, we told him, we've had no

914
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: discussions about going public. We've had no discussions about selling

915
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, a billion dollars. It's just completely made up,

916
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: you know, they said, but you just did the White

917
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: Party's great clipait, we're running the story anyway. We got

918
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: a source.

919
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 3: Wow, wow, you know, a shout out.

920
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: To the New York Post, who I generally love. They

921
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: just ran the story.

922
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 5: Yes, completely made up.

923
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 3: One more thing I want to talk to you about.

924
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 6: Speak to us about the role Governor Shapiro played, uh

925
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 6: just just in Pennsylvania. Like I love all of the

926
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 6: things that he's doing with probation reform and criminal justice reform,

927
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 6: but a lot of that started because you when he

928
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 6: was a g got him on the meat case.

929
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: I like Governor Shapiro, so I love so First of all,

930
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: I hate politics. I don't every want to be involved

931
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: in politics. So I think it's just bad. Okay, because

932
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: generally politics can't get anything done and people just fight

933
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: over everything, So I generally try to stay away from politics.

934
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: That's it. I love jos Shapiro. Okay. Josh Shapiro I

935
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: met when he was the county commissioner of the county

936
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: I live in. He was trying to get to marriage,

937
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: trying to avoid him like the play, because I don't

938
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: want to be about anyone in politics, and he's I think.

939
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: I actually like wrote like a I don't know a

940
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars donation to not have to meet

941
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: with him, okay. And then he asked my chief of

942
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: staff could he have a meeting in my office one day?

943
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: And he walked by me in the hallway and like

944
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 1: start having a conversation like, Oh, this guy's actually really smart,

945
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: and so I've known him for a long time. Josh

946
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 1: gets one hundred percent of the credit. I called Josh

947
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: the day when Meek got sentenced to two to four

948
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: years in prison in November I think it was twelve

949
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: to twenty seventeen. I called the governor Pennsylvania. He was

950
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: Attorney General of Pennsylvania and the mayor of Philadelphia. I

951
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: thought this would be easy by the way, getting a

952
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: black person out of jail that is shit is not easy.

953
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, tells the other things they don't know.

954
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: Maybe my delivery wasn't good, But so I called him

955
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: like guys, like he didn't do anything, he popped a

956
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: wheel in a motorcycle, like you gotta gotta let him out,

957
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: like Governor's like, well, I don't have the rights to

958
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: let him out. The ten generals, like Josh originally said

959
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: to me, don't get involved in this. This will be

960
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: bad for you. And I said, Josh, I love you.

961
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: You're wrong. Okay. And by the way, if you go

962
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: back to November of twenty seventeen, every single person I

963
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: knew said, don't get involved in supporting me. The only

964
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: people that stood up for Froim was Jay and Dez

965
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: and me. Everyone else said stay the fuck away from

966
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 1: the situation, will be and bye. Sixers Fans were canceling

967
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: season tickets because of this. Okay, I was getting destroyed.

968
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 4: Because it seemed like online like the support was so big.

969
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: Not in the first month or two. What happened was

970
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: we hired like thirty investigators who actually were not found

971
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 1: out that the judges crooked. Okay, that actually the people

972
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: that arrested him. Originally, he used to always say to me,

973
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: Meek would always say to me, Michael, if a black

974
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: man points a gun at a police officer, that's called suicide, okay.

975
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: And I never thought about it because he said it

976
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: to me, like he always wanted to prove to me

977
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: that he never pointed the gun of people. I'm like, Meek,

978
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't like, I don't give a shit what you

979
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: did when you were nineteen years old. Who cares. You're

980
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: a different person. And so anyway, we hired the investigators.

981
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: Investigators proved the first cop came for and said, no,

982
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: he never pointed the gun. The whole thing's a lie.

983
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: We were stealing drug dealers money. It was like we

984
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: were like training day. This cop told us, we said

985
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: we sided f Davi. He said yes, that's ultimately how

986
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: the case got overturned. So Josh then turned and said, Michael,

987
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: you were right, get him out of prison. But when

988
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: you get him out of prison, you have to make

989
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: this about something much more than Meek. So Josh gave

990
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: us the original idea to start the reformalized. It didn't

991
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: come from me, didn't come from Jay, didn't come a

992
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: round craft didn't come from me. It came from Josh Shapiro. Okay, Now,

993
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: Josh said, you you got to fix the probation post system.

994
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: That's how we got the idea. And then obviously you

995
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: know you're starting on a home plate when you start

996
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: something with jay Z, Desire, Meek, Robert Kraft, myself. I mean,

997
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good group of people to start something with.

998
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: So it was very funded and you know, a lot

999
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: of strong personalities. Watching Josh's development has been amazing for me.

1000
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean, watching him go from county commissioner to attorney

1001
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: general to governor. I think in Pennsylvania, I'm told he

1002
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: has like the highest note like he has which I

1003
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: don't think you get right, which you don't get that

1004
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: politics you're lucky to get, you know, fifty one percent right.

1005
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: So he's incredibly I think supported in Pennsylvania. I think

1006
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: he's really capable. I mean, I'm almost relieved that they

1007
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: didn't pick him for VP because I'll have nothing to

1008
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: do with this election now, and had it been him,

1009
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: it's my guy, I would have had to support it

1010
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: in a meaningful way just because of my strong personal fill.

1011
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 6: I was disappointed at first that he didn't get picked

1012
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 6: at the VP, but Tim Wall seems solid.

1013
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and look a lot of people say

1014
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: he didn't get picked as he was Jewish, and I

1015
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: think that's you know, that's I think, if that's really

1016
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: the reason that sucks. But you know what that means,

1017
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: we all just got to bring people together. Like, you know,

1018
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: you guys have this amazing show. You know, I think

1019
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: one of the things you guys can do with the

1020
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: show is bring people together. Okay, I think that's one

1021
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: of my responsibilities. Like, you know, look, I do have

1022
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, I suck at a lot of things. I'm

1023
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 1: a decent leader, so I should help bring people together.

1024
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: So you know, to me, you know, I think, you know, I.

1025
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 6: Don't think he wanted to get the gig. I think

1026
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 6: he feels like his job is not done in Pennsylvania.

1027
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: Well, I talked to him a couple of nights before

1028
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: I was I was in Europe and I had had

1029
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: a long conversation with him and I knew he was

1030
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: I think he's a very he believes he'll do the

1031
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: right thing for his country, and he loves what he's

1032
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: doing in Pennsylvania. But if if the world, if the

1033
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: country decided that he was the right person. I think

1034
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: he would have been comfortable to step up and do that.

1035
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: But I think he's incredibly you know, excited about what

1036
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: he's going to do in Pennsylvania. And you know, for me,

1037
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, I just have so much respect for him,

1038
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: even though, again I'll say this one hundred times, I

1039
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: hate politics.

1040
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 3: So you think he didn't get it to he was Jewish.

1041
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: I mean, it's what people say. It's what people are

1042
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 1: saying to me. He didn't say that to me. I like, again,

1043
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: I don't follow this stuff, Like I'm not like you know,

1044
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm someone who's born Jewish. I'm just not religious. I'm

1045
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: not embarrassed with that either. Like you know, my sister's

1046
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: actually a canter in the Jewish religions. You have me,

1047
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, just cancer, she's like she sings on stage

1048
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: so and she's very religious. I'm not religious at all.

1049
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: But what I like to do is, like again, learn

1050
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: from everybody around me. You know, I have heard that

1051
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: narrative a lot, and like I hate this. You know,

1052
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: we should get rid of all self hated all cultures,

1053
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: should bring everyone together, like we want the whole, Like

1054
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: let's flourish, like America's Look, I think America is the

1055
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: breatest country in the fucking planet. Okay, and so we're

1056
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: all blessed to be here. We have so much opportunity.

1057
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: Did you ever dream that you'd be doing this twenty

1058
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: years ago? I mean, okay, well you're doing amazing. You

Speaker 1: keep doing more amazing.

00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 3: And that's right.

1062
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: When I came on the show with you on comedy section,

1063
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: it was like, this guy's built to do this, and

1064
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: like it's just so like we're also lucky in what

1065
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: we do and we just got to bring everyone with us.

1066
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 4: I agree with optimism, that's right.

1067
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: Always. By the way, I wake up like that, go
