  Speaker 1: You know, for me, New York's my favorite city in
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the world to kind of do something that's never been done.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: There's really not a sports festival anywhere in the world,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and you have this. When we think about this, you
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: have so many other festivals. You have Comic Com which
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: takes over in New York City gets a quarter of a
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: million people. You've got Complex Com, which I'm going to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: go to in November, and Vegas. You've got you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: all the music festivals. You've got south By Southwest and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know why no one's ever done this. In sports,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: you've got the trading card shows, which they have a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: thousand of in the country. But I went to a
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: trading card show. There's a big trading card show called
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the National which gets one hundred and fifty thousand people.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Is that one in Atlantic City?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It was in Atlantic City a couple of years ago.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: It was in Cleveland a few weeks ago. So change
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the cities each year, and you walk in there, You're like,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: this is nuts. There's one hundred and fifty thousand people.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: But it looks like when I went to high school.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: So it hasn't changed since like the nineties. And so
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I basically went to comic kind of New York City
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and said, we got to do the same We gotta
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: do the same thing for sports. So it's gonna be
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: our first time doing it. Javits. This weekend, we're gonna
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: have like two hundred of the best athletes, celebrities, artists

• 2:23
  Speaker 1: an hour on Friday. Kadi and Ant with their Olympic
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: medals coming in Saturday, they're gonna be playing basketball with kids,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: football with kids. You've got I actually last night said
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: this is nuts. I actually have a bunch of NBA
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: players call me and said, hey, can I play basketball?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Can I play football? With kids? Like normally you're trying
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to get people to come do these things. And we
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: got the best streamers in the world coming, and we've
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: got so many the big stre We've got Adi and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Ross come, and Druski come in Sketch coming. We're gonna

  Speaker 3: Awesome exactly though, Like what is it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: It's just a giant sports festival, okay, elebrating sports. Yeah,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it's just it's for me. It's like, what would you
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: want every sports fan to dream of doing if they
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: could just not be the actual sports event and come.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So you've got like NFL will be there, and you can,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you know, see all the Super Bowl rings since they've
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: had a Super Bowl, all the Lombardi trophies.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I see Tom Brady, Eli and Peyton. Is that true?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow? Absolutely?
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: How would that work?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Because IVE seen him sign an autograph, so you can
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: buy an autograph signed jersey there or they just win jerseys.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: So I think for Eli and Peyton you can sign
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: up to either get your picture with them and you
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: can pay to get your picture with them or an autograph.
• 3:33

  Speaker 3: Thank you to fanatics too.

  Speaker 6: my hometown amongst corner every weekend. I don't even know
• 5:56

• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. But whatever you guys need, were
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: always there for you, gus, because you guys are great
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: friends of families.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: So well, they did it specific to like Carolina teams,
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: so like the game cocks and the hornets and yeah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: so thank you.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I love that absolutely, I love that. Yeah, I got
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: to tell you who did it. I don't remember who
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: did it. I'll tell you. You can get it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: They just know you guys need something absolutely.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Now, how does this difference from the White Party?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Michael Rumy, So, look.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: You're not invited to the White Party, but you invited
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: into this.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Everything to you guys who generally invited everything. The one
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: thing I'll say is like, look, I love bringing people
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: together and that comes from the way I learned. And
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the thing that people don't get about me because everyone
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: thinks I'm being self deprecating, but actually being serious. Like
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: when you got a seven eighty combined on your SATs,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you barely made out of high school, you went to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: college for part of a semester, and you haven't read
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a full books. And I've read a book since ninth grade.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: That's nothing to brag about, okay, but it's.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Pretty seven eight and sts pretty bad is pretty combined
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: out of sixteen hundred.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Not the best of learning.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And so the way I learn is from people around me.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm much better to ask you questions, to ask
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you questions, ask you questions, and so I love bringing
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: people from different backgrounds together so we can all learn
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: from each other. And that's the way. That's the way
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I've always learned. I've always like asked questions, not been
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: afraid to ask whatever's on my mind. And so I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: think when I started the White Party, it was really
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: about how do I know, take this really diverse group
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of friends, Like I have friends go from Robert craft
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: UNEs the New doing the Patriots, to Travis Scott to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you know, to meet to you know, commissioner of a
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: sport to a CEO of Airbnb or the CEO of Uber.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: So it's like bringing all these people together and I
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: love doing that. The thing with fanatics pest it says,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: how do you create this incredible sports gathering? And you
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: don't have that other than actual games. And I think
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: there's so many things that you can do at a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl or a MLB All Star Game or an
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: NBL Star Game for that each sport, but no one
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: brings it all together. And then generally it's pretty hard
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to get the athletes, the artists, the you know, players
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to come through and really support. So we try to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: do a bunch of special things, like you know, Travis
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Scott's launching cactus Jack exclusive trading cards at fanatics Fest
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: on Saturday. Those are going to be and those cards.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: People are going crazy for those cards. I've never had
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: more people hit me up and say, Yo, how do
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I get those cactus Jack you know, m willb trading
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: cards that you're launching at fanatics Fest. So there's a
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: lot of exclusive products as well. So it's really trying
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to just create lots of things for everybody. My goal
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the test of this like if we succeed, Okay, we'll
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: be at the end of the show. Do people do
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the tens of thousands of fans that came say we
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: love being there, like this was awesome. Do the talent
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: that came through say, hey, this actually wasn't something that
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: like we felt like we were Fortunately we love doing
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: it and that right now I'm feeling because people keep
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: hitting me up and say how can I get involved?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: How can I do more? And then do we take
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: over social? I want, like the way the White Party
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: takes over social. I want this to be Fanatics Fest
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: needs to own the weekend. Thank god, you know, great
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Olympics outcome that's finished. Now I got a bunch of
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: people and the Olympics coming. Just heard a lot of
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the womans soccer team is going to be showing up
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: as well, which is great, a lot of gold medals.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: It's definitely going to dominate socials absolutely.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: And when you have all of these different groups of
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: people from you know, different industries, like everybody's gonna chatting about.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: That, and we got crazy stuff. Like the thing I'm
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: most excited about last night I was. I was up
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: till two am with my team going through each and
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: every stunt, Like we got stunts every hour, like one
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of the cool things. When I went to this the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: show that used to be in Atlantic City was in
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Atlantic City, that was in Cleveland a few weeks ago,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I saw two guys in full Oakland A's uniforms and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I called my guys up and like, yo, everyone dresses
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: for Comic Con. How do we get everyone to addressed
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: for Fanatics Fest? And so literally I just went out
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and said, look, anyone who comes in a full team
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: uniform or a super fan uniform, We're going to take
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the best dressed person each hour on hour and bring
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: them back to meet one of their you know, trillio. Yeah.
• 9:50

• 10:09
  Speaker 1: for the weekend and we got two hundred athletes there,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: so it can be easy for us to and by
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the way, if we see crazy stuff, maybe we do
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: more than one an hour. So it's just like creating

  Speaker 1: it's four different parties within the parties, so you start
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: with you know, cocktails, and there's really a lot of
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: good I think business things that come from that. You
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: know so many you know, when you have CEOs of
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: some of the best consumer companies together with you know,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: best artists, best athletes together with just iconic business people.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Like a lot of things come from that. We've also
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: made created a lot of relationships out of there too,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of marriages, relationships.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I heard with Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know Mobamba met his I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: think now wife there, yes, yeah, And and you know,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I keep I read the rumors of what I see
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: out there, people who met at the right place. So
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I love that. But do you even more the business
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: relationships that come out of there? And and to me,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: there's so many great relationships that have started and created there,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and that to me is like the test of are
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: we doing well? We're helping people get to know each other,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: are great business outcomes coming for them? And I love
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: doing that. You see that. Look, you guys have all
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: been to my Super Bowl party. You see that there
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: were a lot of you know, great business opportunities come
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: from that as well?
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: Do you because the business relationships come out of it's
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: good vibes. But like when you see stuff online like
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: Drake was there this year and everybody was like, oh
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: they weren't allowed to play, not like us, Like does
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: that stuff bother you?
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: And was that even true.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: It was true, and and and look for me, Look,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I'm always you know, I just don't think, you know,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Drake's my friend for a long time. I'm not gonna
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: invite him and then have you know, you know, he's look,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he's obviously going through he's going through a little bit
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: of battle right now. I'm not going to have him
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: come there and and and.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: And being battle more battle.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I just didn't think it was appropriate. So I just
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: said a notice. I said, hey, let's not play you know,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: anyone's music. That's feudy when anyone's there. I mean, look,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: you gotta but that was a you decision. It wasn't
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: like Drake was like no players of me decisions. It
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: was the proper thing. I will I will tell you
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the day before we had a small barbecue for a
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: few hours that was supposed to be thirty people, turned
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: into two hundred people and went for about ten hours.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: The night before that was the pre game to the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: to the White Party, and they turned the music on
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: just like in my house, like it was. They put
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: rap caviar and not like Us came on. It was
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: like in the middle of not like us, I'm like,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: get that off, get that Drake was there. He was
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: pulling up super Yeah. It wasn't I throw me under
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the bus like that.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Did you see the memes of your pictures with Drake
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: or you and Drake, and everybody's like, Drake looks so sad.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: He had a by the way, he had a great time.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Look you got if there's one thing someone just said
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: something to me on social media, you gotta be built
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: for social media. You gotta be tough, you gotta take
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: ship from people. I actually one of the those people
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: don't understand about my personal I actually liked the abuse.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I actually like it doesn't bother me at all. You know, Look,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Drake is an iconic artist that we all have tremendous
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: respect for. You know, obviously you can't what I said
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: to Drake, and I really believe this is this is
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a great test for him, Like you can't get to
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: where he's got to and not have people coming for you.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I know, you know, I sleep with one eye open.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I know right now. You know, we're in three businesses.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: People coming for me in every business every day, and
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: that's part of you know, which success comes, you know,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: more competition, more hatred, and you know, the best people
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: show why they're the best and if you're not the best,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to crack and you fall apart. So I think this
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: is a great test for him. I think you know,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: he's going to come out with, you know, lots of
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: incredible music, and I think people right, I think people
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: are going to say, that's why Drake is Drake. So
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I like that test for him.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: I think social media bothers you a little bit because
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: one thing I did notice from the White party, I
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: didn't see any hugs.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: There was no hugs from the best, So no.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: One was a bigger hugger than me. I will say
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I pay attention to everything, and I decided people right
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: or wrong. I think that was pathetic. I think it
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: was a joke a little baby. Yeah. Look, by the way,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you know what I hate when watching a black person
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: trying to take a black person down. That's fucked up. Okay,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: let's keep it real. Okay, Baby is one of the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: best human beings in the planet. There's not a person
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: who will always do more for his community, who's a
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: great human being who works his ass off. And here's
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: what happened with Baby. Baby did great and then people
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: came for him. Okay, and then you know what happened.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Then he comes out with more great music and he
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: shows why he's Baby, And so for me, it actually
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: it was one of the few things in my life
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that ate it me because I felt responded even though like,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: look the amount of people.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Just showing him love. I mean, people would just make
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: a jokes, but it was, well.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Let's keep this real. The amount of people who I've
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: in a thirteen hour drunken party, okay, that I've jumped
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: on their back and someone's caught a picture is like,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I've done that a thousand times now. I will tell
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: you that, like in my head, you know that ain't
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: happen anymore, just because I will, Like, if it was me,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I would think it's funny, but it actually hurt him
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: a little bit for you, and that ate it me.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: That did eat it me. But you know what again,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the one thing I'd say, when you're doing great, people
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: try to test you. And I think that's a great
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you know, I think that's a great character test. And
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I think Baby showed why he's him. Drake's in the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: show why why He's Him? And you know, for me,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: last year is probably the first time people ever came
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: to me I've generally been you know, I think people
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: showed me a lot of love and support. And you know,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: last year I realized, you know, NAS got a little bigger,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I became a little more well known, and so hey,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's easy to try to pick up
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: me for things. So yes, I am a little more careful.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Now, don't let nobody stop you from hugging people.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'm gonna i'm many people.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: From the back as you want.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: I've never seen you hu the back. You never grabbed
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Ja from the back.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I've hugged everywhere. First of all, I've hugged at if
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: you get me, really.
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: Don't tell him you hug jay Z from the bag.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I'm a hugger.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Drunk, you hug any man from the back of what
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: you thinking?
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: Let me tell you look at me, do not don't
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: engage with this.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say to you, I believe in I
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: believe in hugging. I'm you know what, I want to
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: spread love all the time. You know, hugs are about love.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: And you know I love baby and I love my friends.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm lucky to have so many great friends
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: around me. So yes, when I see you, you are
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: getting a drunken hug one time and you know you're
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: gonna like it because we're okay, and you know, and
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: that's that's remember that night we hold on. That's affection,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and that's just respectful, have so much respect and love
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: for you. And you know when someone starts trying to
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: say that's not love, that's fucking bullshit. Okay, you know
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: what that is. That's just people want to hate it
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: on each other and trying to take people down. Accept
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: that we would accept.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: After the jay Z's Museum thing last year and you
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: were drunk and you came with me, I don't you
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: even think about it?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: It was still fresh then, was it was?
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: It?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Did I then hug you or not?
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: You did hug me perfect exactly.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: And by the way, the amount of the amount of incredible,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: iconic athletes that have jumped on my back and given
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: me hugs in moments, I mean that was like somebody
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: just caught a picture. And by the way, I told
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I was with a couple of nights ago. It was
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: his blue hair. That was the thing that basically it was.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: You know, if you didn't have that, that blue hair,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: that was what that was what killed the whole thing
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: was the picture. It was me, baby and CAUs and
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: like it was probably like one tenth of one second
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that someone caught the picture and then it got out there.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: And you know, but anyway, look to me.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: Just want hug whoever you want.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: But aside, I want to spread love all the time,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and people should hug each other all the time, and
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: people shouldn't say, oh, it's not cool if someone gave
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: someone a drunken hug. And what sucks is that it
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: actually did hurt baby for a period of time. That's
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the fucked up thing. And that's the thing that I
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: don't like.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: What do you mean by hurt? And I would like
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: he was upset about.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: One bit upset about because he's tough and he's built. Yeah,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: but it's just people took it. It's just a way
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: of like saying, oh baby ain't right, Oh he's this,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: or he's it's all bullshit. It's just people. It's people
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that want to hate with success. And to me, I
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: want everyone around me to do great. I want nothing's
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: gonna make me happy. Then you guys doing great, You
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: guys killing there everything you do. That's how we all
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: push each other up. And so that's how we all
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: learn from each other and grow together. Yeah, and so
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I think you just got to like push aside that
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that negativity.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Anything with me. When they keep bringing up the bunny happened,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: they said you made him do money.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: So, by the way, let's talk about that. There's nobody
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: there's nobody who's been more tortured this year than me.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Talk about the diddy thing. Now, I know Meek really
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: really well. And I've never been to a ditty party.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: He's never been in one of my parties in my life.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: But I want to get this out there. Okay, Meek,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I know that guy really really well. Okay, everyone going
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: around trying to say and by if he was gay,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: who cares? There's not a gay bone in his body.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: You guys know him like I know him. I've been
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: around him more than anybody. Okay for people to just
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: like the internet, like a friend, one of my best
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: friends said to me, I think Meek's gay. Now, I'm
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: like why, because I've read it ten thousand times. There's
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: not a gay bone and that guy's body. So it's like,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: why do people want to bring somebody down? Why do
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: people want to hate on somebody? Why someone go lie
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: on somebody and by talk about the bunny hops. Okay,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: now you're talking about the most unathletic person in planet
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Earth is Michael Ruban. I pride myself on that. And why,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: by the way, why do I put the funny videos
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: out making fun of myself Because I want people to know,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: you know what, you could suck at sports and be
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the person who's pick last all the time. You can
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: be the person that was terrible at school. Remember I
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: barely graduate high school, okay, and then you can work
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: your ass off and the great business. So I'm trying
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to show people do what you're great at and exceling that, right. Okay.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: But so now Meek says to me, we're in the Bahamas.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: He's there with his family and there with my family
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: four or five years ago, okay, and meets learning tennis
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and I'm pretty shitty tennis. So we played tennis game. Now,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: this was one pathetic athletic event, Like if you want
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: to see like two horrible tennis players going at it. Somehow,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: it was very close. And so Meet says to me
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game, he says, what do
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: you want to bet? I'm like, what do you want
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: to bet it, like I'm not generally a like I
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: don't want to ever take money for my friends or
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: bet money, but if they want to, He's like, let's
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: do push ups. I'm like, great, fifty push ups. Great,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: He's actually, let's do bunny hops. I said, what's a
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: bunny hop? So it makes like you go like this
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: he's teaching me what any I never saw before.
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: I don't know that's one of those things you.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Like, he said, we do it all the time, right,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: So I didn't even know what. I've never heard of
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: a bunny hop before. Okay, so now now we do it.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Then when I put it out like of course, because
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I was making fun of because I had no idea
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: what people would turn this into. I put it on
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: my story just making fun of him, like, yeah, I
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: kicked your ass and tennis like it's fun. I actually
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: want something in sports, like almost a miracle. I should
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: have a celebration. Okay, no one says the thing that
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: five years later, you know, people want to Now it's
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: the turn. You know who we're gonna hate on this one.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: So let's hate on me. Oh, Meek's gay because some
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: guy made up a lie. Okay, So let's hate on
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: him for that and just try to change the narrative
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and oh, you know, white billionaire telling you know, black
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: men to do bunny hops. Actually he told me to
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: do bunny hops. It was his bet and sorry that
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: he sucked in tennis, Like okay, let's keep it real.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: So like that that's the short in everyone. By the way,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: probably any sport other than the scheme, which is obviously
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: a way sport, that's the only sport I could probably
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: get to me. But you know, like the thing I
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: don't like about that is it doesn't bother me. For me,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: it bothers me that it actually when I see the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: narrative of a really good friend of mine like Meek,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and people trying to you know, again, if he was gay,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: which there's not one gable on everybody who cares. Number one,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: let's if people want to be gay, this is twenty
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: twenty four, Who the fuck cares? Okay, number two, there's
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: not a gay blee on his body, So like, why
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: do people want to lie about that? Why do people
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: want to change a narrative of bet he maybe me
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: to try to hurt him? Like that is the one
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: thing I've learned about you know. Look, I'm just being
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: blunt because it's me. So the one thing I've learned
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: about black culture that I don't like is that black
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: hate on.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: Hate speaking that more. I heard you say that early
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: and I wanted you to expound on that. You said
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: you don't like to see black people tearing down other
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: black people.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's horrible, like like it's horrible, like what Like
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I want to support every Look you got two you
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: guys know me pretty well. Anything I can help with,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I'm always there. I always want to be helpful. I
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: feel lucky and fortunate to do what I do every
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: day it be is you know, whatever success I've had,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I feel blessed to do that, and I want to
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: give back in every way I can, you know, in
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: business and in charitable things. I'm always trying to be helpful,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Like why does someone want to bring somebody else down?
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Like's try to build everybody up, like, you know, I'd
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: be more excited if, you know, if I'd be more
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: excited to see one of my friends do something that's
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: ninety nine percent less meaningful to me, but it would
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: be really meaningful to them because I want them to
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: do great. I want everyone around me to do great.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I don't like watching you know, there's a little bit
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and you tell me, you guys, correct me if you
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: think I'm wrong. I think there's a little bit of
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a black culture of like it's black hate on Hate's
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: like that black judge that me had that hated on
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: him and want to put in go extra hard on him. Okay,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: it's like I like, it's what people always say to me.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: It's like black hate on hate. So I think it's terrible.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's something that it's I think it's culturally wrong.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm probably get killed for saying this because you know,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: you're you know, I'm glad.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: You're saying it openly. If this is the conversations that
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: are I have it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: All the time that yeah, I want to hear this.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I think it's wrong. I think, like, why
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: do you not want to build everyone up around you?
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Why do you not want everyone around you to do great?
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: The best way for everyone to do great is to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: push each other up. Okay, I'm always pushing everyone around me.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: It's why I spend, you know, a quarter of my
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: days helping other people because I want them to do great.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: And by the way, it's why people always If you
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: think about this, no one ever came at me before
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: last year. Okay, last year we had the bunny hops
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: you brought up, you brought up the right okay, which
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you're each completely made up. None of these things had
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: any real you know, No, they weren't real. They were
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: made up to hurt people. Okay, Yet everyone still can't
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: comes out for me because they're real, authentic relationships, and
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I want to help everyone in everywhere I can. So
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: to me, if I could say one thing, Let's everyone
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: go out with a positive energy. You try to make
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: everyone do great around us and build people up. Let's
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: not try to bring people down. You don't. You don't
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: do better by taking your competition down. You do better
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: by pushing everyone up together. You want all the wind
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: behind your back.
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: So when you see other when you see black people
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: tearing other black people down, in your mind, you'd be like,
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: I would never do business with that person because of
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: how they treat their own people.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't see. I I don't really see the
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: people I'm around tearing people down. What I see is
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the conversations that we have about people tearing you know,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: trying to tear them down. And I think, like, you know,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: even if a lot, Meek doesn't bring it up a lot,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: but I'll bring up to me and be like, like,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: look when you grow up the way Meek did you
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: up the way Baby did it? Like, these guys are tough. Okay,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: you know you grow up. You didn't even think you
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: were going to make it to the age you are today.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: You know, you're coming out of a pretty violent background.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I think you feel fortunate, but I think
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: the reality is like they're aware that, you know, there's
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of hate that comes with their success, even
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: if like someone's trying to get out, I grew up
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: in a ruthless environment, and you know, I don't you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to improve the people that are around me.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: It's like then the people that you know you grew
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: up with their they want they want to take you
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: down because you don't have the same people around you.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: How about you want to grow and you expand And
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you don't want to help the people.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Meet does so much for his community, you know, a
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: completely different situation, but Baby does so much for his community.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Like so I just that whole thing really does bother
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: me because I think it's wrong, and I think it's
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: culturally hurting the outcome of the black community. I think
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: it would be much better if everyone trying to push
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: each other upla community. Let let's let's keep it. Look, look,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm Jewish, I'm not remotely real, I'm not
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: remotely religious. Okay, it's just who I have never have been. Okay,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: But the hate toward Jewish people, now, it's horrible and
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: it's it does not affecting it. I feel more bad
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: for like my daughter, you know, you see, like you know,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: she's going to USC next year, and like you have
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: you know, you have situations where people can't even get
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: into their college because they're you know, they you know,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Cornell and New York City in New York City, Columbia.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: New York City literally couldn't even control and make it
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: safe for Jewish students to be there. Like, like, why
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: is this good? This is horrible? Like we all want
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: to bring people together. By the way, why don't I
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: want to do finags Fest because I want to bring
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: tens of thousand sports fans together. Why is sports great
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: because it brings community together? Hate is bad. Any type
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: of hate sucks. It's by my dear friend Robert Craft
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: started the Blue Square to eliminate hate. Like if you'd say,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: in life, if we could just like get people to
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: always support each other, get rid of hate, like that's
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: you know, why is this all this killing all the time.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: It's from hate.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: And so if you have a lot of conversations about
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: it and the Jewish community, do you guys support each
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: other more?
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Do you see more support?
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I think in most communities other than you know, I
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: think in most communities people are pretty to support, like
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: like I support everyone around me. I don't care, you know, black, white, purple, yellow, gay,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I don't care, like I'm gonna support everyone around me.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: That's that's why I've aways been built to push everybody up,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to push everyone around me. I think that's generally great
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: for me. You know, I think most communities do it that, right.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, you tell me, do you think I'm right
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: or wrong about you? Be honest?
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, listen, it's uncomfortable to hear you say it
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: as a Jewish man, right, But I can't say that
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: you're wrong.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: That's why.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: But one thing I always say is that when I'm
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: talking about like what we call uncle Tom's I always say,
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: all of these Uncle Tom, black men think white people
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: like that, and they don't.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: They think that people that are in.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: White people are Jewish people, white people Jewish whoever, in
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: positions of power, they think that they like to sell
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: outs amongst us, and they don't. They don't like to
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: see a black person selling out another black person.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: I say that all the time. Right, So, I was
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: going to ask you about.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: A There's a guy named sid Rosenberg who called Vice
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: President Kamala Harris's husband a bad Jew. So when you
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: hear language like that, is that the same as is
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: that self hate amongst Jewish people.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know any of the background to it. I
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: don't even know her husband was Jewish. He just told me.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: But you've heard that term before, though. You've heard somebody
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: called somebody a bad.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Jew and people. People have told me I'm a bad
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Jew and that like that. People tell me I'm not
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: doing enough for the Jewish community. You know, people say
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: to me, you do so much for the black community.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: You start the reform, aligned just spend so much money,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: time and energy to you know, fix the probation parole system.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Why have you done more for the Jewish community. You know,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: for me, I never I was always great at giving
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: money away. I never did the work. And then when obviously,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: and you guys know the story so well, when you know,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Meek went to prison for not committing a crime, and
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting in that courtroom and watching what was a
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: really close friend of mine, you know, go to get
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: sent to two to four years prison for popping and
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: wheeling on a motorcycle. It like, that was the most
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: out of control I ever felt in my life, because
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I'm used to in business being able to control my
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: own destiny. And I think that's when my whole perspective changed.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I like really having to not just give money, but
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: really make a difference. And I think that's when you know,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: once you got out, we started the Reform Alliance. Now
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: we have this giant Make a Wish partnership which everyone's
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: so excited about, where we do every sports wish. We
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: helped to make it better and crazy, to get the
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: athletes really involved, to make the wishes great for the kids,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: and like we like, we love giving back. I get
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: told them a bad joo all the time because like, hey,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: people say, you've only posted ten times about what's going
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: on but to me do things that are authentic. I
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: got so emotionally involved in fixing probation and parole once
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I saw how fucked up the system was, and so
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I'm honored to do that. You also can't do all
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: things to all people. Make a Wish the way I
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: got sucked into it, which was actually amazing. I really
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: didn't like everyone knows of make a Wish, but I
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: didn't know how it worked. And a kid had a
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: wish to do something of the Sixers, and he went
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: to sit courtside of the Sixers, and so I set
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: up on the court side of the Sixers and we
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: were playing the Lando Magical like three or four years ago.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Three years ago, I said to the kid, look, you know,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: after he beat the Magic, when I'm bringing in the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: locker room to meet jo all and meet James, meet everybody.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: And the Magic at that point sucked. They were like
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the NBA, and of
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: course we lost to the Magic. It was really embarrassing.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: So I went in the locker room. I said to
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Joe and James, I said, hey, I'm bringing this kid
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: from Make a Wish into the locker room. And they said,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: like we just lost against the Magic. Don't bring a
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: fucking person in the locker room, I said, Now I'm
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: bringing them anyway. Of course I didn't listen. I bought
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: this kid in the locker room. The team probably spent
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: forty five minutes with this kid, and literally that night
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Joe hit me, James hit me, Tobias, Harris hit me, MAXI.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: But they're all like, yo, that that puts everything in perspective,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Like seeing this kid listening to his story, you know,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: like man, that that that really like, thank you for
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: doing that. We then called the Serial of Making Wish
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: and said we want to be the exclusive person to
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: do all of your sports wishes. We love stuff like that,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: so again, for me, you have to do things that
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: are authentic, Like we can't do a lot of things,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: but like you know, when I get caught a bad jo,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: does it bother me a little bit? Yes, because I
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: think I'm doing everything that's comfortable for me. But I
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: can also fight every fight. Like we spend a lot
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: of time on probation for all we form, we spend
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of time on Make a Wish. And you know,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I work seventeen hours a day at Fanatics, which is
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: you know my part time job.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Do you guys own into seventy six is at old?
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Do you miss that job?
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: No? I'll tell you why. I think when I bought,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: when we did the Sixers Day on twenty eleven, I
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: was in a different part of my life and I
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: think Fanatics was way less established, and I think we
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: were a much smaller company. It really got. It went
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: from in the early days helping the growth of Fanatics
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: and helping it was kind of like a little bit
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: of a business development platform. And then I learned so
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: much from the Sixers and I was able to really
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: help in a meaningful way to as Fanatics got a
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: lot bigger. Now we have thousands of deals with individual
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: athletes which are prohibited by all the leagues, went out
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: in the betting business, which is prohibited to take bets
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: on your own team. It was really in the way
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: of Fanatics growth, and so selling the stake and the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Sixers allowed me to just take finets to the next level.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: And on top of that, I'll tell you, I don't
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: think there could be a bigger opportunity for me in
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: my life when I look at where Fanatics is today
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm just getting started with it,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: and I look at like I just watched the Nike
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: movie like a year ago Nike era, and you look
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: at that and you're like, he's eighty seven today. Okay,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this for the rest of my life.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Like my opportunity is massive, and I have so much
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: gratification and satisfaction of working around you know, hundreds of
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: millions of incredible sports fans and incredible athletes, and you know,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to get to spend time with guys, like you said,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: you just it's such a fun job. I don't want
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: anything to be in the way of it. Also will
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: tell you that my relationships with everyone is so much
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: cleaner now because I think before I felt like guys
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: where I was friends with would still look at me
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit different, like you know, Book or Jason
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Tatum or they. When I owned the Sixers, I felt
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: like there was just always a little bit, hey, it's
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: going to the Sixers guy. Now it's kind of like
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: everyone knows I'm just their guy, and you know, we
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: have an authentic relationship and so and by the way,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: we do a lot of business. A lot of these
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: guys do you know their significant partners, So it really
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: cleaned up the relationship.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Does it ever?
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: Does it ever get to you when people say stuff
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: like because you seem like such a nice guy, that
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: like why are all these artists fling into this white guy?
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: Or like why do they want to support this white guy?
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: Like especially because they show up for you so much.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't. I didn't even know that narrative
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: till about a year ago. So I like I i'd
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: say in the the last year was an adjustment for
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: me because I went from I'd say up until a
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: year ago, it was all love to me all the time,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: and then the white party took on a life of
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: its own. For that, it's not a lot bigger. We
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: got in multiple businesses and so then you had, you know,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: someone start that narrative on the bunny hups. You get
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: someone start the narrative on the baby with the hugs,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: And so then I started asking questions because I was
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: oblivious to it all okay, and people people told me
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: that narrative is out there. So I think what I
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: always want to do is be super aware and make
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: sure that I'm always doing so much for everybody to
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: make sure that like they feel like the relationship is
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: great for them, And so I'd say I'm more sensitive
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: to make sure that no one I don't want to
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: ever do anything with somebody that's not great for them.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I'd say I'm more sensitive to make sure I'm doing
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: that today. Like someone just told me something a couple
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago, like, hey, one person who doesn't like
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: me because they don't get invited to the White Party
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: is telling people, well, all these people perform for Michael.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: So I'm making sure, like, hey, I don't want you
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: to perform unless you really want to perform. And by
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: the way, I'm trying to get and I'm always trying
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: to help you. There's so many businesses if you think
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: about it, like, look at Jay Z. He's an investor
• 35:59

• 36:20
  Speaker 1: are great for my friends. So does it bother me? Look,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I am the most thick skinned individual you'll meet. I mean,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I'm the most self deprecating person. I love to make
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: fun of myself, Like when I put out the baseball
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: thing and show how un coordinated im. Everyone makes fun
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: of me. I think it's funny. Does it hurt me
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit if it's hurting somebody else, yes, that's
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: someone wherever I think, like you know, if something is
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I want everything I do to be great for people.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I don't ever want to do anything but help people.
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: I read someone that you were selling you were trying
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: to sell some mistake in fanatics too.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Completely made up.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: That wasn't true.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, bye bye, Way. It's crazy now that I've learned
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: about and look, you guys deal with this because when
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you get more well known, people just make nowadays, how
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: many times has anyone ever say anything got you? It's
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: completely unrue. So so somebody reaches out and says, hey,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: we heard that you turned off your IPO, that you
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: were going to go public and you're not not going public,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: and also that you're selling a billion dollars in your company.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: So we've never even had a discussion about going public.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Will we eventually go public? Most likely? Have we had
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: one discussion with one bank about it? Not one okay,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: And by the way, we told him, we've had no
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: discussions about going public. We've had no discussions about selling
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: you know, a billion dollars. It's just completely made up,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: you know, they said, but you just did the White
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Party's great clipait, we're running the story anyway. We got
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: a source.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Wow, wow, you know, a shout out.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: To the New York Post, who I generally love. They
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: just ran the story.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: Yes, completely made up.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: One more thing I want to talk to you about.
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: Speak to us about the role Governor Shapiro played, uh
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: just just in Pennsylvania. Like I love all of the
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: things that he's doing with probation reform and criminal justice reform,
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: but a lot of that started because you when he
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: was a g got him on the meat case.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I like Governor Shapiro, so I love so First of all,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I hate politics. I don't every want to be involved
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: in politics. So I think it's just bad. Okay, because
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: generally politics can't get anything done and people just fight
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: over everything, So I generally try to stay away from politics.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: That's it. I love jos Shapiro. Okay. Josh Shapiro I
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: met when he was the county commissioner of the county
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I live in. He was trying to get to marriage,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: trying to avoid him like the play, because I don't
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: want to be about anyone in politics, and he's I think.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: I actually like wrote like a I don't know a
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars donation to not have to meet
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: with him, okay. And then he asked my chief of
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: staff could he have a meeting in my office one day?
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: And he walked by me in the hallway and like
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: start having a conversation like, Oh, this guy's actually really smart,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: and so I've known him for a long time. Josh
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: gets one hundred percent of the credit. I called Josh
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the day when Meek got sentenced to two to four
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: years in prison in November I think it was twelve
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: to twenty seventeen. I called the governor Pennsylvania. He was
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Attorney General of Pennsylvania and the mayor of Philadelphia. I
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: thought this would be easy by the way, getting a
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: black person out of jail that is shit is not easy.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, tells the other things they don't know.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe my delivery wasn't good, But so I called him
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: like guys, like he didn't do anything, he popped a
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: wheel in a motorcycle, like you gotta gotta let him out,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: like Governor's like, well, I don't have the rights to
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: let him out. The ten generals, like Josh originally said
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: to me, don't get involved in this. This will be
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: bad for you. And I said, Josh, I love you.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: You're wrong. Okay. And by the way, if you go
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: back to November of twenty seventeen, every single person I
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: knew said, don't get involved in supporting me. The only
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: people that stood up for Froim was Jay and Dez
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: and me. Everyone else said stay the fuck away from
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: the situation, will be and bye. Sixers Fans were canceling
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: season tickets because of this. Okay, I was getting destroyed.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Because it seemed like online like the support was so big.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Not in the first month or two. What happened was
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: we hired like thirty investigators who actually were not found
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: out that the judges crooked. Okay, that actually the people
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: that arrested him. Originally, he used to always say to me,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Meek would always say to me, Michael, if a black
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: man points a gun at a police officer, that's called suicide, okay.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: And I never thought about it because he said it
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: to me, like he always wanted to prove to me
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: that he never pointed the gun of people. I'm like, Meek,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I don't like, I don't give a shit what you
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: did when you were nineteen years old. Who cares. You're
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: a different person. And so anyway, we hired the investigators.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Investigators proved the first cop came for and said, no,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: he never pointed the gun. The whole thing's a lie.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: We were stealing drug dealers money. It was like we
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: were like training day. This cop told us, we said
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: we sided f Davi. He said yes, that's ultimately how
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: the case got overturned. So Josh then turned and said, Michael,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: you were right, get him out of prison. But when
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: you get him out of prison, you have to make
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: this about something much more than Meek. So Josh gave
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: us the original idea to start the reformalized. It didn't
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: come from me, didn't come from Jay, didn't come a
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: round craft didn't come from me. It came from Josh Shapiro. Okay, Now,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Josh said, you you got to fix the probation post system.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: That's how we got the idea. And then obviously you
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: know you're starting on a home plate when you start
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: something with jay Z, Desire, Meek, Robert Kraft, myself. I mean,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: it's a pretty good group of people to start something with.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: So it was very funded and you know, a lot
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: of strong personalities. Watching Josh's development has been amazing for me.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, watching him go from county commissioner to attorney
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: general to governor. I think in Pennsylvania, I'm told he
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: has like the highest note like he has which I
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: don't think you get right, which you don't get that
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: politics you're lucky to get, you know, fifty one percent right.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: So he's incredibly I think supported in Pennsylvania. I think
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: he's really capable. I mean, I'm almost relieved that they
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: didn't pick him for VP because I'll have nothing to
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: do with this election now, and had it been him,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: it's my guy, I would have had to support it
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: in a meaningful way just because of my strong personal fill.
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: I was disappointed at first that he didn't get picked
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: at the VP, but Tim Wall seems solid.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and look a lot of people say
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: he didn't get picked as he was Jewish, and I
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: think that's you know, that's I think, if that's really
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: the reason that sucks. But you know what that means,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: we all just got to bring people together. Like, you know,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: you guys have this amazing show. You know, I think
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: one of the things you guys can do with the
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: show is bring people together. Okay, I think that's one
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: of my responsibilities. Like, you know, look, I do have
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: you know, I suck at a lot of things. I'm
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: a decent leader, so I should help bring people together.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: So you know, to me, you know, I think, you know, I.
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: Don't think he wanted to get the gig. I think
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: he feels like his job is not done in Pennsylvania.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I talked to him a couple of nights before
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I was I was in Europe and I had had
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: a long conversation with him and I knew he was
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: I think he's a very he believes he'll do the
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: right thing for his country, and he loves what he's
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: doing in Pennsylvania. But if if the world, if the
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: country decided that he was the right person. I think
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: he would have been comfortable to step up and do that.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: But I think he's incredibly you know, excited about what
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: he's going to do in Pennsylvania. And you know, for me,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: you know, I just have so much respect for him,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: even though, again I'll say this one hundred times, I
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: hate politics.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: So you think he didn't get it to he was Jewish.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's what people say. It's what people are
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: saying to me. He didn't say that to me. I like, again,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: I don't follow this stuff, Like I'm not like you know,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: I'm someone who's born Jewish. I'm just not religious. I'm
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: not embarrassed with that either. Like you know, my sister's
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: actually a canter in the Jewish religions. You have me,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: you know, just cancer, she's like she sings on stage
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: so and she's very religious. I'm not religious at all.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: But what I like to do is, like again, learn
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: from everybody around me. You know, I have heard that
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: narrative a lot, and like I hate this. You know,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: we should get rid of all self hated all cultures,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: should bring everyone together, like we want the whole, Like
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: let's flourish, like America's Look, I think America is the
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: breatest country in the fucking planet. Okay, and so we're
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: all blessed to be here. We have so much opportunity.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Did you ever dream that you'd be doing this twenty
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: years ago? I mean, okay, well you're doing amazing. You
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: guys are all doing it, and you guys are gonna
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: keep doing more amazing.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: And that's right.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: When I came on the show with you on comedy section,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: it was like, this guy's built to do this, and
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: like it's just so like we're also lucky in what
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: we do and we just got to bring everyone with us.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: I agree with optimism, that's right.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Always. By the way, I wake up like that, go
• 43:42
