You think of a man responsible for many incredible things. I think of a loan. Like, I need a loan. Think of a loan. The biggest white party in the universe are the biggest, the largest trading car show. sports member of Billiard he had some of the greatest friends on earth he saved meek Mill when they did a wheelie

and they tried to do him crazy he really did it came to the rescue we can be here for hours to give him in his flowers but ladies and gentlemen make some noise for Mr. Michael Rubin I just want to say that could be the best all-time intro of anyone if I need a hype man

got me. Let me tell you something. If it wasn't so loud, he really rolled out. I know. I mean, that was a hell of an intro. I appreciate that.

Rolled it out. Yeah, I mean, you could. But can we say, I got a little, I got a little grape. I got to settle with you right now.

Last night, I was going to bed about midnight. As I always do, I'm just going through social media, see what's going on in this world. So there's a little clip come off from the two of you. And, you know,

it said you, talking a little shit said, ah, the white party thing is not for me. I don't want to be there. Joe said it's the only party per year my wife wants to go there. So you really... No, no, he really wants to be there. He said he... That was his way to get you.

That was his way. I didn't really know this guy before that. We just spending time for the first time. That was his way of getting you invited. He wants it. He's invited to the wife. I mean, we got to see... Hold on us.

I just want to say one thing. First of all, as you know, the white parties... My partner... He's on it? No, he's in. No, he's in. He's in. He's in.

I just want to say one. I just want to say one thing, though. It takes as you know, a little bit of training, 12-hour party. You've got to be in good shape. It's like the way you guys, I think you train to get in the shape you're in now for the white party. It's the greatest party on Earth. And now you're invited. You deserve it.

Top five dead all right. Bucking list. This is bucket list. Let's go, baby. Let's go back. Family coming together right away. We're at Fanatics Fest. the biggest thing moving is these trading cards.

How did you know to jump on it early and you created, you know, this big event behind it? Yeah, well, the amazing thing about Fanatics Fest, there's only the third year we're doing this, which is kind of insane when you think about it. It's really become Sports Week in New York. SB's moved from L.A. to New York to go to the night before Fanatics Fest. Dodgers playing the Yankees this weekend by design.

Wow. You've got WW at MSG Saturday Night World Cup. A small thing called the World Cup, the Sunday World Cup final, Argentina, Spain. Insane out. Oh, my God, it's insane. Time 100, filled themselves around this. There's like so many great events coming together,

but we're on it. You got 200,000 of the most, not just sports fans, super fans here at Javits for this over the next four days. Wow. And the thing is so humbling to me is you got 400, the biggest stars in the world coming together to celebrate these fans and it creates so many great moments. And, you know, for me, you know, we love being a connector. We love being in the

center of everything. And, you know, it's just amazing to see the giant smiles on all these fans' faces. And I love you guys being able to come here and get so many different interesting things and the people you guys come in touch with. So we like doing that. That's what's an thing's all about bringing people together. And, you know, we wake up and go to bed, obsess them with how do we do great things for sports fans? As really, it's just trading cards and collectibles. I'll tell you in a lot of ways, I'd say we got into this market in the middle of COVID. People thought we were nuts. It's a cyclical business. It did great during COVID. It's going to all fall apart. And we just thought the companies that were in it before,

they weren't marketing, they weren't innovating the product. The athletes didn't care about it. So we got in and we just really like entrepreneurs that let's innovate the product, let's market it for the first time. Let's build products that athletes really care about. Now, five years later, there's so much enthusiasm, and excitement domestically in the U.S. Because of the actions we've taken. But we're going to globalize this business down to, so I think we're still, we're the first thing in this baseball game here.

How important is the Knicks winning the chip? How much fluidity is that bring to this year's fanatic fits? I think if we were trying to script it, we couldn't script it any better. I mean, half of the Knicks are ever won in 53 years. I mean, do you know how much happier Joe is? Like, I mean, this guy's, let me ask you a question. How much happy is your life this year than last year? I mean, this guy's, he's like,

Mike, I use no drugs. I feel like I'm smoking crack every day. I mean, the guy is unbelievable. We got Skinny Joe with the Knicks winning. No, his best fucking life. He's killing it. I don't even know my clothes to ask fees yesterday. I don't even know what's going on, man.

It's like, then I get to take a picture where my, if I ever was a groupie, and then you can throw a flag on that. It's up the New York Knicks and they actually close the Espies and they come on, Joe, let's take a picture together. The team and you

is sick. Listen, by the way, you don't get memories like that very often in life and that's when you look back and say one of the best memories in my life. That is definitely one of the best memories in my life. And you know what happens is we go to Madison Square Garden

and we see, 30,000 people, and we date, those are the Knicks. And so when we do the parade, we had a 30 million. Mr. Dolan gave me my own float in the parade. So I bring hip-hop. I just seen 30 blocks in a row of human beings and everything. Like, it was just, I said, holy, I said, why? I didn't even know we had that many niggins.

You know, it was, you know, having built Fanatics, you know, as my full-time only thing I'm really focused on since 2011, watching the way the Knicks fans showed up was like no other fan bases ever showed up. It was the biggest single hot market for our merchandise business since we started. It shattered the records. Bigger than when the Cubs won after 100 plus years.

Wow. Bigger than when the Dodgers won. Bigger than when the Lakers won. It shattered the records. You already know when it's a real moment, you need a real bottle. That's why we rock with 1800 tequila. You heard me?

These people were making tequila for 11 generations. That's right, 11. That's a legacy. That's OG status. OG. They were the first to introduce a nejo set the standard before most of these brands even existed. And you could taste the difference for real. The 1800 Cristolino and Repasado was what we've been on lately.

Smooth, clean, elevate. No burn, no rough edges. Just a premium pour that speed. for itself. You know when it's something that's just built right? That's what this is. Real talk. That's just what it is. It's always around for the best nights, the wins, the celebrations, to remember that night story. Whether you're keeping it low key with the crew or you're pulling up to a big event, 1800 fits every setting. It ain't trying too hard. It's just that. 1800 tequila, real legacy, real smooth. That's the move. True, true, true. One. If you never

been the Fanatics Fest, the recreation of the 4040, it's crazy. It couldn't have been this is insane. Look, it's crazy. You know, I remember when we started Fanatic's Fest three years ago, Jane,

Des hit me and said, hey, you know, I love 4040, such an important, iconic brand. Why don't we pop it up for guys like you, the most important, you know, artists, celebrities, athletes that support Panax Fest to give them a private place to hang out for the most important people

of the festival. So this place holds 3, 400 people. I remember looking up last year I saw LeBron James, Draymond, Tom Brady, Kevin Hart, he was a little hard to see if I'm being honest, but I didn't see Kevin up there. Kevin Hart, Khalid, Michael Parsons, C.J.

Stroud, all standing together. I'm like, man, this is the middle of a sports traffic. All this guys are together. No, Travers DJing, actually. This one is for the OGs. Let's keep it 1800. I would say, your entry into hip hop was meek-mill. Yeah, I didn't, look, I didn't design to have, I mean, let's keep this real.

Fanatics has 150 million customers today. You know, there's 2 billion kind of avid sports fans of the world. Everybody is a customer of Fanatics. And so, you know, our sports fan just follows the populace of the world. Let me tell you what my fans care about, right? This is a hip-hop show something I've always respected you for because you don't know. I'm privy to being behind the scenes. Yes, of course.

So you become cool with Meek Mill. He gets locked up. And you fund his lawyers to get him out of jail. I'm telling you what they want to know. Like, why do you feel like I want to help Meek Mill? Why do you come out your pocket and support him in that way? So I remember meeting Meek for the first time. I think it was 2014.

He was at that time together. with Nikki. I was with my daughter, Kylie, she must have been six, I can not do the math right. I have six, seven, eight years old. Meek was like, it was really interesting because I barely met in a high school. You know, I went to college for six weeks. The way I learned is by asking questions. Okay. I'm always asking people questions. I'm always studying my surroundings. So as my daughter was like at this point, you know, super, you know, asking Nikki a bunch of things and being like a typical six or eight year old who's meeting somebody that she likes,

Meek has asked me all kinds of questions about business. And I'm like, I saw in him that same like just curiosity and and passion to learn that I have. And we became really friendly. What people don't understand is by the time all the shit went down with Meek in 2017, that was like one of my closest friends. And he remains saying one of my closest friends. Like I love Meek Mill. People say, I hear some dumb shit say, oh, I don't see you guys in pictures as much.

Like, that's my fucking brother. us. Meek is my friends. Meek is my, but I have friends. Almost seen a year that I love to death. Of course,

if I don't talk to Meek for three months because I'm working 18 hours a day, that is my brother. So anyway, what happened was, it's a crazy story. So Meek had a probation hearing in Philadelphia,

and he kept talking about this crazy judge he had who kept like trying to control his life. So he calls me on a Friday after night. I remember this like it was yesterday. My memory sucks at this point if it's not really important. he says, Rube, what do you do on Monday?

I said like, I'm fucking working. What do you think I'm doing? He says, like, can you come to my probation hearing? I'm like, you want me to come to your probation hearing? He's like, yeah, why do you see what happens to a black person where they go for a probation hearing? So I'm like, at this point, like, I don't know, like, I'm dumb. I don't know anything.

I'm like, is it really important? He's like, it would mean a lot to me. I said, gosh, I call me off. It's like, yo, clear out, like he's got a probation hearing in Philly. It was 1 o'clock. I said clear out 30 minutes for the probation area. So I got to leave the office by 12.15. I'll be back by 2 o'clock or 2.15. So I live like a half an hour from there. I get there and Meeks like really nervous. Like, yo, this judge is going to lock me up. Like, for what? You popped a wheelie on a motorcycle. You got a ticket. The ticket

got dismissed. You are not going to jail for popping a wheelie on a motorcycle. Anyway, the judge starts and I watch the probation officer get up and they say they basically say meek's real name we recommend no sentence he's a model probationer I guess my boy a model probationer the uh DA gets up and the DA is never like friendly like this they say we recommend no no no sentencing she said the judge starts screaming at the probation officer and the district attorney I was like what the fuck is this. Now I'm like, maybe he ain't as crazy as I think he is. So she's going off. So next thing,

we're two hours into this thing. I'm like, cancel my day. There's like an intermission in the middle of this probation area. There's judges in our glory. Genese Brinkley, one of the worst human beings in this planet. Okay? Shout out to her. A horrible human being. Okay? Love to controlling his life. Love locking

people up. Didn't want to do the fair thing. She wanted to lock people up. That's crazy. We go, we're like, it's like two hours into it. We each walked the bathroom. Everyone had to take a leak. And he says, like, they're going to lockups to me. You are not getting locked up.

I walked back in, like, a bunch of more cops come in. And they're like, um, Meek's counsel is like, hey, can you speak on his behalf? And I get up. And I tell the story about, hey, we've known each other three, four years. This guy's moving my mom a bunch of times, my daughter. Like, he's around, he's around all these people's stories. You're thinking you're only going four half an hour. And now it turns into you.

Oh, this two and a half hours into this four hour bullshit. And I give, like, and passion. Like, I'm a pretty passionate guy. I talk about how much I love him. Look, I know he's not perfect, but like, who is perfect? He's creating jobs. He's a great guy. He's he perfect? No, but does he deserve to be locked up? Hell no. Let this guy go, you know, create jobs for people, let him go build his community. The woman never looked at me once. An hour and a half later, 5 p.m., of course, then it was time for her to go home for the day. So four hours into this thing, she sends him to two to four years in state prison.

For pop and a will. For pop and Willie. You couldn't believe. them. Hold on. He had tears. You know, Meek wants to, he's a rapper. He wants to be tough. His eyes are warden up. I'm, like, crying like a little bitch, okay? And like, I watched him taking his watch off and giving his wallet, giving his shit to his mom. He's like, I wore two pair underwear. This is what happens when you go to jail. So I'm like,

fuck no. So I didn't know Desiret Perez at all when this happened. Like, I met her for the first time in the court that day. I'm like, hey, like I said to his mom, I want, I'm getting him out of prison. I won't stop to it against our prison. No idea what I'm doing. They're just, hey, I'm in Desry Perez. I run Rock Nation. You know, I'm going to get him out of presence.

It's great. Let's work together. And Jayzie and Des stepped up in the biggest ways. At the end of the day, there's nobody better than Des. And, you know, we just, you know, we kind of did it together. She did more of her, but we did it together. And we didn't stop until five and a half months later, we got this, the Supreme Court, in Pennsylvania orders released.

And ultimately, all the charges got dropped. So it just shows you. Not his length. So not only a business and a major friendship with Des and Jay-Z, but it also left to the reform where you got involved with freeing people that were, tell us about the reform. Look, I'm an entrepreneur. So at the end of the day, when you see shit that's not right,

it's kind of like your instincts to kind of deal with it. So I remember Josh Shapiro is now the governor of Pennsylvania. He kept saying to me during this thing, I know you just want to get Meek out of prison, but like there's so many other people that are impacted by this, you guys got to, when he gets out, you guys got to do something about this. As soon as you got out of prison,

myself, me, Jay, Robert Kraft, Des talked and said, like, we got to fix the underlying problem. So we right away knew we were going to create the Reform Alliance. We've now created a pathway. So there's 4.5 million people that were on probation for all at the time in 2018 when he got out. we've created a pathway for more than 1.1 million people to get off a probation for all by changing the underlying broken laws.

And like I'd say, I was something, we're humbled to do it. It was a problem that needed addressing. We've made a lot of progress during different political environments too. Republicans, Democrats, all working together. It's something that need to be done. And, you know, we built a great organization. The organization, by way, it's well-funded. It's got a great team led by Jessica Jackson.

And, you know, we're going to keep fighting tirelessly for kind of the voice listen. And, you know, I'm proud that we started. And at the end of the day, it was inspired by Meek. It was started by, you know, Meek and Jay and Robert Dez, myself. But, you know, it's off to the races and we're proud of it. Bye. That's awesome.

The show's famously super accessible so you can easily jump into any of our 650 episodes and understand what's going on. We recommend some of our recent episodes with Ben Stiller. The definition of what is a movie has kind of changed. Genedictorant, too, right? What do you think it is now? It's images and words being spoken, captured by some sort of technology.

Danny McBride. He loves Mouthing. Oh, that's fantastic. And you make it on, you make your own. That's great. I call him Terro Reed. It's a good name. They're all named after cast members of American Pie.

Yeah. I call, I don't, I never looked up if she was in this, but I call him Leachy Sobiesky. Yeah. I don't think she was an American Pie, but I see. Haven't looked it up. Haven't looked it up. She was prominent around the same time. Then Mary Steenbergin.

Why are you guys talking to me? I'm worried. I'm worried. Why are you talking so down to me that you think I don't understand your little play play game? I just really. I get it. I'm trying to set you up for success here.

Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I got to commend you for that. And one of your superpowers is you're a very. humble God. And no matter what you hear, how much money Michael Rubin got, like when I walk so say I go to the White Party.

Who is this security? Like is this like the secret? You got a different kind of security. No, I just walked in the back from now. I seen it. I said, there goes these guys again. What is this? Like $20,000 an hour

security? This is a different security. Well, look, we have, look, no, I'm telling you. One of the things with me, we love having people of all backgrounds coming together. And you have, you know, all right, I have friends with Democrats, Republicans, every variation in between. Like, I don't, by me, I'm not into politics at all. Like, I think politics divides us and I hate, like, I'm all about bringing people together. So I'm just not, I'm not a political person.

But, by the way, there were a lot of FBI and Secret Service. Josh Shapiro's coming here today. Kathy Hockel's coming here today. Like, we're friends with that. Like, look, the way I build, United Nations. I like the room and, by the way, I like that. The second ice to break to ice,

everybody party with each other, everybody. I had a great time. People try to divide us. It's such bullshit. The single biggest thing I don't like about this world right now, it's never been more divided. That's bullshit. We shall be working together to help each other

to push each other up. I won't be where I am without so many people that have helped me. I won't be shit without so many people that have been behind me. I want to help anytime I can help somebody that works, whether it's whatever they need, I'm always trying to do that.

You know, you hear me? It's just my personality, and I'm honored to do that, and people have been honored to do it for me. So, like, I'm just all about bringing people together. That's what the white party was created for about bringing, you know, the most diverse group of people together that we all learn from each other, we grow together. By the way, we're not having fun, too. Like, fuck not having fun.

Like, who says 2026 we can't have fun? Fuck that. Oh, man, that's fucking crazy. You're right, and I believe, right, I tell them all the time, they don't believe me, but I'm telling you the truth. When I wake up and I see a light bulb in my bathroom, I can't believe I owned the light bulb. Right.

Like, I grew up with shit. So I'm so fucking happy. But have you ever woke up at like five in the morning and heard the bird singing? The birds singing all around. That's how I feel every morning when I get up. I'm like, I feel like the birds are saying. I'm like, wow.

Like, this is fucking awesome. But here's the truth. If we didn't all have an appreciation about how fortunate we are, there's something that matter with us. We're all super lucky. If we're not all super aware of how fortunate we are, if we're not all aware of how fortunate we are, we're broken. Okay?

You're lucky. We're all lucky as shit. Okay? Think of the adventures you've had, the life you've led. Like, we're all fucking lucky. So why would we not want to be good human beings? And even when people, you know, it's funny, I did, I did, for an Axe Fest, I did the breakfast club. And I love Charlemagne.

Charlemagne comes right on him. He says, hey, I got the guy everyone calls White Diddy. Okay. Just, you know, he's always fucking with me. He's trying to, you know, get a reaction. But I'm like, I said him right away, you know it. All I care about it is do I feel like I'm doing the right thing? If I'm doing the right thing, that's all the matters.

When you look yourself in the mirror and say, am I a good human being? Am I doing the right shit? Am I being a good person? All everything else is bullshit. You know what? The better you do, more people come for you. I promise you,

you guys have been each of this a long time. More money, more problems. And by the way, when you guys have been at the most top of your career, that's when people are trying to knock you down more than ever. But you know what?

That's called competition. It makes you competitive. It makes you healthy. It doesn't bother me. I like it. It's called a hit in hand. Tell us about Fanatic Games. Two million dollars prize for some of the challenges.

Now, Fidatic Games is incredible. And maybe next year we'll see we'll get you guys in the game. But let me tell you what it is. I don't got the legs. I do. Let me represent you, brother. All right, so here's the deal. Fanatus games, it's 50 athletes, artists, celebrities,

50 average show fans. So 100 contestants competing in eight athletic competitions. From the WWW walkout, to the UFC, how hard can you punch, to NFL field goal kicking, to FIFA get the soccer ball, you know, in the right place in the net, to baseball pitching,

hockey accuracy, golf putting, and basketball three-point shooting. Any competitions, you drop your worst, two scores. First prize gets $1 million in cash, walks out of here on Sunday.

Second prize, $660,000 Ferrari. Third prize, a Leo Messi training card with about a quarter million bucks. Yeah, he's gift. I just want to,

Chicken nuggy. By the way, I want to tell you one thing. I want to tell you. Before we get to Luke Cal, I want to say, it's like, last year, this is actually a great story.

Last year I watched Tom Brady and Eli Bainan, they're paired together going through the games. Again, you're competing against 100 people, but they pair you like in golf. I saw Brady going

through a couple pitches. He looked like me and Eli look like Otani. Okay? I'm like, this fucking guy, he lost it. I never checked, I never checked the stats.

End of the day, see FaceTime. him. He says, yo, you're the top spot. Motherfucker, I'm number one. Brady literally, as soon as I walked away, he went on it. He went on. You was this bad. I wasn't bad. He just, he was getting warmed up. He went on a run like I've never seen. He won the games last year, took a million dollars home. I actually donated it. Here's the crazy thing. That's fine. Number two is the most recent UFC heavy rate champ, Justin. And then a gym teacher from Philadelphia was the number three. And six to the top 10 were average show fans, not

athlete. James Hardiman's number four. Missed by a teeny bit. So we can get you in this next year. I need to train it all year. He trains on a train. I think he can do it. How much been athlete to you? I would say I'm 75% of 80% athlete.

So let me ask you a question. I can do it almost every. So last year somehow we paired Callad with Brady. Callet talked a lot of shit. Do you guarantee a better performance than that? Then Callet? Cal is my brother, but athletically,

I'm in a different... Callal's my brother. I was still a little Charlemagne and I sent you up to talk some... I'm in a different strategy for in athleticism with talent. You know? All right, so next year we're going to pair you and Calid. I'll have you guys go out. Be in Calid against each other next year.

My brother, it's the honor having you on the show. Thanks for waiting for me. I was late. I'm never late. I'm never late. But you relate You relate with Desi here? We both got trouble

For me to fuck out I'm telling Des Des Des, I'm never late This is like a freaking nature The traffic We went to George Washington Then they turned us back to the tunnel It's insane

I don't know what the traffic is going on And I'm fighting And Des is blowing me up And she's like, listen You're never supposed to be late For this level of person I said yo, Desd I got to say,

I'm okay inside your family. I feel like I've known you for a long time. You've always been great to me. You've always rooted for me. You've always done anything you can't support me. And I feel the same way about you. So you know, you can have an accident and be late for me anytime.

No big deal. You know, Dad and I got to sit over there and solve some issues. And it was 10 minutes a piece I had. And I'm honored to be with you guys. I'm going to have my guy here. I'm going to tell you a weird thing. Let's go, baby. Whenever I look at you for some reason,

I get this weird image. of you with St. Bartz, one time you was on the Instagram and you was showing the plane going like this. It scares your shit out of me. Get the fuck out of here. I don't want no parts of this shit. By the way, I do not.

The airport is saying Bartz, the planes come in. Oh, he got to go like, go in. Oh, I'm going to tell you a crazy story. So, like, 10 years ago, I was saying how scary that is for the planes to land there. And so I walked out on the beach at Eden Rock on my life. Little plane comes in,

overshoots the runway, tumbles into the sand. No. In front of me. No. The person got up and walked right away. That was in front of me. I don't like that airport.

No. But I equated to you. I don't know why. You did it one time on like Instagram or something. That was like, fuck, this guy gets on that plane. I'll take...
