Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. From New York City, the only city in America. It's the show that invented news.
Starting point is 00:00:43 This is the Daily Show with your host, Charlemagne the Daily Show. I'm your host, Charlemagne the God. Hello. That's right. Happy Halloween, everyone, as you can see, I'm dressed as the scariest thing there is. An intelligent black man with an opinion. That's right. We've got a great show for you tonight, so let's get into the headlines.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Let's kick things off with a big problem facing New York City. Right now, Mr. Met started in only fans. I had no idea Balls had balls. But there's another issue that's even more of a crisis for New York, the influx of migrants, okay? Every week, thousands are arriving in the city, and now Mayor Eric Adams is taking a break from the club to figure out what to do with them.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Mayor Eric Adams is now looking for new shelter locations, including outdoor spaces and tents and other temporary shelters. Now, the mayor says the city is just out of room. City officials say they are trying to reticit and encourage migrants to go elsewhere. The mayor says he wants to convene a roundtable discussion with city officials, the public, and even the media. At this point, he says, if anyone has any better ideas of what they can do, he says he wants to hear them. If you have have some some some some some some some some the the their their their their their their their their their the hear them. If you have some good ideas for us on how to manage the situation, I am begging for your ideas. No, no our ideas, that's not how
Starting point is 00:02:32 this works, okay? Our idea was to elect you to handle this, all right? Imagine a doctor asking, hmm, what do you think your kidneys need? Now I get crowdsourcing for fun stuff like who should be on a new stamp or you know what should the state flower be? th? th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th th th th th says, th says, thi, thi, thi, thi, this this, this this, this thinks, thi thinks, thinks, I thinks, I thinks, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thin, thin, thi, thi, thin, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, the, the, the, the is the is the an the an the an thean, thean, thin, theee an thin, the an the an fun stuff like who should be on a new stamp or, you know, what should the state flower be, but you're asking random people from Staten Island in the Bronx, okay, for ideas on how to handle immigrants, that's not going to end well. Eric Adams has New Yorkers all wrong. New Yorkers give you opinions, not ideas. It's always, fuck you, asshole, okay? It's never signal before you turn next time, asshole. And what both me is, Eric Adams was very progressive on immigration when it
Starting point is 00:03:14 wasn't a problem in New York, okay? When it was only Texas dealing with it, he was like, we need to open our hearts to the migrants. Now that they're coming to New York, the wall, build the wall! What it all comes down to is a lot of people are progressive in theory until they get tested. Half the people who want to abolish the police, the moment they get robbed, they call a 911 like, send me your most racist cop, all right? But let's move on to a different challenge facing America. Artificial intelligence, okay? It's the reason it's so much easier to do your kids' homework these days. But now Joe Biden is trying to put a stop to that. President Biden has issued a first
Starting point is 00:03:52 an executive order setting standards on artificial intelligence. The sweeping order includes a number of requirements. Homeland Security will look at the risk AI poses to critical infrastructure, including chemical and nuclear risks, and the threat to the privacy of Americans. The AI devices are being used to deceive people. Deep fakes. Use AI-generated audio on video to smear reputations, speak for spreads fake news and commit fraudsters can take three-second, and you all know this.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Three-second recording of your voice. I've watched one of me on a couple of things. I said, when the hell did I say that? To be fair, to be fair, Joe Biden says that about real videos of himself. I feel sorry for Biden. He's too old to have to learn about AI. Some poor intern had to explain all this to him. Biden was like, so you're telling me one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, thing, thing, thing, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I' thi, I' too old to have to learn about AI. Some poor intern had to explain all this to him. Biden was like, so you're telling me one day, this thing's going to take over the whole world
Starting point is 00:04:51 and the intern was like, no, sir, that's a printer. And I'll tell you guys what I think. I'm against AI. The's just too much much the their their their their their tha. their tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. thi. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttod toda. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. t is going to obliterate reality totally. Right now, anyone can make a video with world leaders saying anything. You know how I know? Because we did it, Joe! Have you happened to see any of this AI? This shit is all over the internet. I saw one the other day. I was like, oh, fuck me. When did I say that? thi mind? I say that? Blue my fucking mind. Hell, maybe AI should take over the planet. They can't do a worse job than me or Trump. Have you seen him recently? The dude is falling apart.
Starting point is 00:05:30 He's catching up with me. But shit. At least I'm not a fascist boy. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! And finally, let's move on from a president to someone who's never going to be president, Ron DeSanches. Since he started campaigning, people started noticing that he's got something weird going on with his boots and now he's being called out for it.
Starting point is 00:05:56 I'm sure your marketing team points out how they're trying to troll you in the marketplace. I've seen you walk with these boots. This on Tick-Tock went viral. This thing's got 1.2 million likes and some people are wondering. How are they, I don't even know, I haven't seen that. What they're, they've not shown this to you. Okay, what they're trying to say with this is that in your boots you have heels. No, no, no. Those are just standard. Luke Casey, how tall are you, Governor? How tall you? 511? Okay. Why don't you wear tennis shoes and dress shoes?
Starting point is 00:06:28 I do wear tennis shoes when I work out. Yeah, you do. Okay. Yo, you know your campaign is going terribly wrong when people only want to talk about your shoes, okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll get to Israel and Palestine in the second first. what what what what what what what's what's what's what's what's what's what's what's what's to Israel and Palestine in the second first. What the fucks up with those boots, bro? Look, coming at this as a short person, I can't relate to this type of insecurity. Okay, it's actually the opposite for me.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I hate tall for no reason to ask people. Like, why are you six-eight and not in the NBA? What a waste. We need a short president anyway. Okay, people always talk about Napoleon complexes. Well, that guy ruled the entire continent. Abraham Lincoln was tall, and he got shot in the head. So you tell me, you tell me who's more successful, okay? But at least now I know why DeSantis is in that huge fight with Disney. It's not because of woken this. It's because you've got to be this tall to ride the magic tea cups. So the question is, does it matter if a presidential candidate is tall or not?
Starting point is 00:07:33 To debate the issue, let's go out live, the Ronnie Chang and Troy Iawatta. My guy Ronnie, what's your take on Ron DeSantis using lifts? I think it's pathetic, Charlemagne, all right? Ron DeSantis needs to stop trying to pretend that he's one of us, naturally tall guys. Ronnie, what the hell are you doing, man? Are you on stilts or something? No, I've always been this tall. People just think I'm short because I'm sweet and soft-spoken, but I'm actually six-eight. Hey, don't take my word for it. You can measure me any time, but not now.
Starting point is 00:08:11 All right, man. Whatever. Troy, do you agree that Ron DeSantis is being pathetic? No, I actually think it's great. Ron toce is finally accepting gender-affirming care. Because Ron doesn't feel like his outside matches his inside. He sees himself as a big, strong boy. Even though he's a little munchkin with itty-bitty legs, like a weaner dog. Yo, it's not great, Troy. He doesn't have the mental strength to be president if he's so insecure that he fakes being tall in such an obvious way, all right? But I understand, not everyone can be as naturally tall as me.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Pshh! Rony, please knock it off. I saw you yesterday. You grew like a footstance then, man. Come on. I got a good night's sleep, okay? It's called a growth spur. You know, actually, at Charlotte, I mean, there's a long list of presidents who've done similar things to hide that they were shorties. Lincoln wore a big hat, FDR put that blanket over his little legs. And Jimmy Carter is short, but that doesn't matter because he's hung as f-fooke. Shalomane, I'm also hung as f-fooke, but I don't actually care because I'm already confident because I'm 6-9. Ah, see, see? You said you were 68, Ronnie? No, no. I mean, yeah, yeah, I did, but I grew a little during this report. It's natural. You know, what the real tragedy is here is, if
Starting point is 00:09:36 DeSantis had been a bit nicer to drag queens, they could have helped him pull off those heels and he could have ended up serving some serious shit. You know, not just that they could have contoured his nose or found him a barber that isn't out for revenge. Yeah, or they could have helped him fate being tall better. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Ronnie, are you sitting on somebody's shoulders? No, no, my coat has COVID. All right, someone get Ronnie off that guy, please.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Come on. Ronnie and Troy, everybody. Come on. When we come back, we'll find out a way to raise your home value, so don't go anywhere. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going
Starting point is 00:10:45 to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the Daily Show. So we had Michael Costa investigate one of the scariest places in America, the real estate market. Check it out. After record highs during the COVID era, U.S. housing sales have reached their lowest point since the 2008 recession. Rising interest rates and low inventory are forcing realtors like Santa Fe, Suzanne Taylor,
Starting point is 00:11:31 to represent properties that are less than desirable. There's very little inventory here. You get a lot of homes that have been completely corn apart. You know, animal feces in the living room, just nasty type of properties that have just been left to rot. In some of these Santa Fe homes also present another unique challenge. So basically, people do believe in ghosts in Santa Fe. There's just a certain energy, a certain vibe that people get.
Starting point is 00:12:04 You're saying Santa Fe has more ghosts than other cities. Yeah, it does. I can observe it, especially like on an open house. Unsurprisingly, an open house mixing desperate vulnerable buyers and malevolent spirits can spell trouble. When they walk into a living room or the bedroom. Someone walks into a bedroom and they start going like Oh, they don't get like crazy like that. Okay, but what they do more like this more like They'll just like a lot more subtle. Okay, so more like more like like they walk in and they walk right past the room. They don't want to even spend any time in it. So these distressed feces and ghost-infested properties could be a tough cell. But luckily, Suzanne has a solution.
Starting point is 00:12:46 So I get it as physically cleaned up as I possibly can. And then when everybody is out of the house, then I call Jane. That Jane is this Jane. Paranormal Investigator and psychic medium, Jane Phillips. I used to be a mortgage lender in that launched what I do now which is paranormal energy clearings for primarily the real estate industry. Terrifying. Yep it is. I've never been scratched or bitten or any of those movie things but. Talking about mortgage lending or ghostbusting? Because I've bitten and scratch my mortgage lender. Yes. With these interest rates?
Starting point is 00:13:22 Yeah. And Jane's energy clearing services can address almost any inexplicable issue. You might feel like the hair in the back of your neck go up when you walk in the house and you go, I don't know what's here. You might have something called a poltergeist. You might find an energetic connection from an alien group. So there are all these emotional energies that get dumped in a place. Maybe there was a drug person in it or there was a death in the property. What are you picking up with me? How's my ghost energy? Well, I had to do a little clearing. You've cleared me already? Correct. Don't you need my consent to do that?
Starting point is 00:14:01 And that's a question I get all the time. And the answer is no, because I wanted us to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have a good to have a good to have a good to have a good to have the the the the I get all the time. And the answer is no, because I wanted us to have a good interaction. That's not creepy at all. No, it isn't. And with my last bit of skepticism exercised, I was ready to join Jane on a house clearing session. Well, generally when I start in a house, I start right at the entrance way. So I will just check is there anything in this closet and there is something. But it's something in this closet.
Starting point is 00:14:30 It's kind of like an elf energy sitting with his legs over the edge. There's an elf? Yeah. So we're removing the energy. Obviously, yeah. Yeah, we've cleared the closet. All right, no. Peace, bitch. I'm just going to go, oh, I hate this hallway.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Can I turn the light on? Why doesn't the light turn on? There's a lot of energy that's coming through this way. Right. Does that mean someone was murdered in one of these rooms? It has nothing to do with murder. It just feels like I'm being prevented from going in. I, th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, to, th, to, to, to, to, tho, to be tho, thi, thi, thi, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to thi, thi, to to to thi, tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom, than, than, to do with murder. It just feels like I'm being prevented from going in. I have to go in anyway, even though I feel like I'm being prevented. So I'm walking in.
Starting point is 00:15:11 All right, in I am. Okay, so I don't necessarily feel the same, so I'm just gonna go to the bathroom. I don't love this whole thing either. It's more, it's thick in here. He wants his mommy, He's saying and... Who's that? Is that a ghost? That's the toilet. Oh. Don't be growling at me. Mm-mm.
Starting point is 00:15:35 And this energy does not want to go to the light. It doesn't live there. It lives in the dark. Okay. If I had to guess I would say murder. Nope. Okay. Oh, jeez, I haven't done that one before. I used to be really embarrassed doing this in front of people. Why would you be embarrassed doing this?
Starting point is 00:15:57 Ooh, oh, ah, oh! Wow, this house is f-ed up, huh? Yeah, and does it look like it was f-ed up? No, right? Right? But in the end, there's only one thing that matters, the results. It always helps. I have seen Jane's work where a house was just sitting there
Starting point is 00:16:15 and nobody wanted to have anything to do with it when they walked in the door. I have her coming into a clearing and then, then, then, then, then, thage, th, th, th, the, the, the, the the, and the the the the, and their, and their, and their, and their, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their the, the, the, the, thean, contract within a week. She's fantastic. James methods for getting home sold may be unorthodox. Watch out for the wall, James. But given the frightening insanity of the American housing market, involving the supernatural isn't that unreasonable, and may even give us a little bit of hope. A lot of Americans are worried they can never afford their own house,
Starting point is 00:16:41 but what you're saying is that once we're dead, we'll all be homeowners. I'm going to haunt a condo in Miami Beach. That's not really how it works. Well we don't really know, do we? Right. Thank you, Michael. When we come back, CEO Rich Paul will be joining me on the show, so don't you go anywhere? Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, it's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting, you'll be saying to yourself, TGID, thank God it's going.
Starting point is 00:17:20 It's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself, TGID, thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance, it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday?
Starting point is 00:18:03 I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is the CEO and founder of Clutch Sports Group, which represents some of the biggest athletes in professional sports. He's here to talk about his New York Times bestseller, Lucky Me, a memoir of Changing the Odds. Please welcome CEO Rich Fall. Big CEO energy.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Always. You're going, my brother. I'm great. Always, you gotta have that. Yeah, man. Let me read some of these stats, man. Clutch Sports negotiated $900 million worth of contracts this summer. You've got $4 billion in contracts total. You've got a performance sportswear brand and partnership with New Balance.
Starting point is 00:19:11 And Lucky Me is now New York Times bestse. Amazing. But when you're going to learn how to spell clutch? That is how you spell clutch. KLU, TCH? Yes. Knowledge, longevity, understanding, trust, communication, and honesty. Okay. That's a good thing, that's good.
Starting point is 00:19:33 How did you come up with that? You know, when I was thinking about the company and the name for the company, what you need to be in sports, you need to be, you need to have that clutch gene and be clutch. But then I also flipped it and said you actually needed to be in life, you need to be clutch. Now, with my partnership with New Balance, it's a little twist to it, because the new athlete is all of you guys,
Starting point is 00:19:55 are athletes. You're an athlete, your wife's an athlete. And so from that perspective perspective, that perspective, It's aiming across the humanity of the athlete and also just the regular person who happens to cover the field every day and what they do in their life every day. What do you mean when you say we're athletes? You cover the ground. You did the breakfast club this morning. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:15 You're on a daily show, etc. You know, your wife, their wife, rich. You know, your wife, rich. Because I hear you talked you work you work the the their their their their, you, you, you, you, you, you, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their tho.. tho. tho. thooooooooooooooooooooooompera, their their thoooooooo. their their theirto be. What the hell you know by my wife, Rich? I hear you talk about her all the time a very positive way. I don't know I was right. I'm just telling you but but the new but that person is kind is never hurts, love is never wasted. Unity starts with you. Trust makes it possible. Community is a mentality and honesty keeps it real. Damn. Yeah. When you just start making acronyms man. I'm a writer. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thiiiiiiiiii. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I thi. I'm a thi. I'm a thi. I'm a thi. I'm a thi. I don't thi. I'm a tho. I'm a th. I'm a th. I don't th. I th. I the the the the the way way. I I I I the way. I I the way. I I I the way. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I don't th. I don't th. I don't thin. I don't thin. I don't th. I'm a to. I don't tole. I don't to. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm tho. I don't tho. I don't th start making acronyms, man. I'm a writer or a love. Okay. Now, you say you honed your deal making instincts by winning dice games as a kid.
Starting point is 00:20:51 You know, if you read Lucky Me, Great Reade, you should, you'll know that. But have you changed since then? Are you still a gambler, you know, with a better credit line? It's a different type of gamble. I mean, I think growing up, I did what I had to do, right? And it was a sport. It was actually my sport gambling was. Today, not so much as it pertains to in those environments and situations like that.
Starting point is 00:21:14 But I think every day getting up taking risks. Today, they're calculated risks that I take. Come from a place of strategy and a lot of preparation. But yeah, I still take the same risks. What's the last big gamble you took, you think? The last big gamble I took, I would probably say, I bet on myself to start clutch. That was a big gamble. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Yeah. You've been vocal about no black agents helping you when you entered the industry. You said they went to families and talk bad about you. Did you get flack for those statements? I got, you know, I didn't really get flack. I got some people a little, you know, a set about the, because the thing is, what I meant by that is, we have to have a better understanding of our positioning and our, our, the work, the work, the work, their, their, their, their, to, to work, to work, to work, to work, to work, to work, to work, to work, to work, to work, to work, to work, to to to to to to to to to to their, to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, toe.a, toe.a, toe.a, toe.a, toe.a, toe.a, toe.a, their that is we have to have a better understanding of our positioning and our our work practice right and there's a way to do
Starting point is 00:22:12 things right and it's all in competition is all I'm I love to compete but then when you do it from a place of malice then that changes the landscape and I just don't think that has to be the case but it's been the case prior to and I and I wasn't the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th and I th th th and I th. th. th. th. thin th. thin thin thin thin thin thin th. thin things thin thi and I thi and I thi and I thi and I'm thi and I'm thi and I'm thi and I thi and I thi and I thi and I thi and I thi and I thi and I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th. th. thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin things thin thin thin theee thin the thin the thin thin thin the ththen that changes the landscape. And I just don't think that has to be the case. But it's been the case prior to. And I wasn't shining a light on whether black or white agents, because I can honestly say no agents, regardless of what color they were. But for me, when you read the book, I don't come from that.
Starting point is 00:22:40 The gang was given. And even in competition, I learned by losing. When I was gambling, I became a great gambler because I lost my way to being a great gambler, not because of anything more than that. And so I understand how to take, there's wins and losses at times, but it was a little bit different in terms of the integrity
Starting point is 00:23:01 and based upon their intent. It was just something that I have a tremendous lack of respect for because where I come from, those consequences was a little different for us and we don't get those second and third chances, especially being young and black in America. So in the book, you know, you had to deal with like real killers in the street. Oh, absolutely. On the everyday basis. Who's more cutthrow? These agents in the business? Yeah, you because you you you you you the ki because you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, their, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. their, their, their, their, thi. thi. thee. theea. thereeea. thereea. thea. thoooooooooooooooooo. the. the. the.'s more cut throw? These agents in this business or the killers in the street? You can't see them coming. You know, they'll smile on your face and then they have a conversation with parents. But I've elevated above that. Today, I wake up every day looking for companies to buy. So I'm not even in competition with them per se. And I still recruit when and how I want to to and I built a business to where we recruit across the board.
Starting point is 00:23:45 But I just think it needs to be, I have a platform where I can actually shine a light on it. And again, like I'll give you a prime example. I had a call, a gentleman called me, was in a situation. Now prior to him calling me, his representation basically tried to poach one of my players. Smile in my face, see me at games, etc. Okay, okay, fine, nothing happened. But when the shoes on the other foot, I didn't do the same to them.
Starting point is 00:24:12 I even said to him, I said, look, I'm not trying to overstep my boundaries. I'm willing to help you and help your representation help you, because that's who I am as a person. So just bring it a different integrity to the space because just because something used to be a certain way and a certain way today, that doesn't mean it has to remain that way. Why give him that courtesy if he wasn't going to give you that? That's just how I was raised. My mom and dad never raised me. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Yeah, that's a today. I want to ask you about somebody man. Duane Martin, you know Duane Martin, great friend, great friend, Confidant, Will and Jada, he had a lot of successes as an agent. He's a big advocate of yours. He could really hope. Above the room was not just a movie. No, you know? And he's a big advocate of yours.
Starting point is 00:24:57 He told me he gavetruth to that? I mean he wouldn't say if it wasn't some truth to it. I mean there was a ton of people that when I ran across the idea what I was going to do, told me yeah you should definitely do that based upon them knowing me so I can't sit here and say it's not any truth to that. He didn't give me the idea idea the idea. He's the idea. He didn't get me the idea. He's to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me. to me. to me. to me, the idea. that. that. that. that. that. that that that to me, he, he's told told to me, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he was, he, he was, he was, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he's thin, he's the the the thin, the they. they. they. thin, th. th. thin, th. th. thin, they. they. they. they. they. they. the the. todato that. I don't, he didn't get me the idea to leave, that's for sure. But he, but through our conversations he's always been supportive of me and I appreciate that. Now you're one of the few sports agents that people know by name, right? Does that level of fame enable or hindle your ability to do your job? Like who gets the better table? You were at Drew Rosenhaus when you're out. I don't think th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th th th th thin thin thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' that' that' that' thatr-I that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that. that. that. Now that. Now their their their their their th. Now their th. Now th. Now th. Now th. Now th. Now th. Now th. Now th. Now th. Now th. Now th. Now th. Now th. Now th. Now that's that's that's that's that's thate. thate. thr. thr. to thrown. to to to to thrown. thee an thrown. the an thrown. the an the. the. the. I eat it to restaurants at Drew Rosenhaus. God damn rich, you're too rich, man. Jesus crazy. No offense to Drew, he lives in Miami. Like, he's a different taste bud there. But does it help you or hurt you?
Starting point is 00:25:51 That you're a notable figure? I think, oh, the notable figure perspective probably helps me even more. I think, oh while being a notable figure. I think that helps even more. Okay. What does a sports agent actually do? A number of things. We know they exist, right? But what they, what are 90% of the businesses, you're in client services.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Okay. That's 90% of the business. But it's layered, you know, everything from negotiating contracts, developing players both on and off the floor, working with their families, marketing, you know, shoe deals and things like that. Really, I like to leave from a place of education, so how do I better educate the player and the family because I don't know how long this person is going to play the game, right? So you can't, you can't count your eggs before the hatch, and you can't only look at them as a talent, as I kind of go about it a little bit different way, but I also have the capabilities and the ability to do so because I don't really have nobody beating down my back in terms of, I have to do something and you have to reach this quota, etc. So I say that in all fairness because everyone might not have the same, I would say, flexibility
Starting point is 00:27:05 as I have, per se. Do you help with marketing and promotional ideas for your athletes? Like, do you look at something and say, oh, this would be good for AD or this would be good for bronze? Yeah, all the time. I mean, I'm a creative at heart, so I like to come up with things. And also, what what is marketing? Like, so if I you you you you you you you you the the thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, I, I, to, to, to, to to, to to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, I, I, I, to to to to, to the, I, th... the. the. the the. the. the the.a. the. the the. the. toe. toe. toe. toe. to, to, to, to, to if you talk to me about more and most families don't know this when I when you talk to me about marketing you'll say oh that's I see a company get a deal done that's marketing it's not marketing that's an endorsement marketing in most cases is storytelling so what narrative you
Starting point is 00:27:36 want out there what picture you're trying to paint the best marketers in the world they never show you a price or anything I said this before they they the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their I their I their I their I their. their. their. their. I their. I'm their. I'm to their. their. I'm to to to to to to their. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I their. I I their. I I their. I I their. I I's. I's is. I's is. I's is. I's is. I's is. I's is. I'm. I'm is. I'm is is. I'm. I'm. I'm the their. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the te. I'm te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm te. I'm te, they never show you a price or anything I said this before. They tell you a story, then you go out and buy that product, right? Different than when you look in and buy a card commercial. They show you the car, they show you the price, depending on which one you get the LE or the SC, etc. It's a difference between it too. So the issue we have right now, what Nile is everyone's looking at it as a cash grab and we're going to get rich tomorrow. No, it's not. Because when you really think about it, NIL, it's necessary, but it's important for it to
Starting point is 00:28:15 be managed and controlled. And the most important, the number one step should be education. There's a lot of kids getting NIL deals and not paying taxes. So you look up, yeah, I mean, they don't they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they're they're getting NIL deals, they're not paying taxes. So you look up, yeah, I mean, they don't understand that aspect. Yeah, they're not gonna have no student loan debt, but they're gonna be in debt with the IRS. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:28:33 So when you look at it from that perspective, and they're coming into it, much money are we going to make? A lot of those numbers are very falsified numbers. And if you're just common sense, if you're going to spend six months in a diversity and you have a partnership from NIL, what's the actual ROI from that company in six months? It's not much. So I tell my guys, if you're a pro, why are you focusing on NIL? I'll the place where you go into a place that can pay you more money to any brand ever. Damn. Not even possible. So you against NIL deals?
Starting point is 00:29:07 I'm not against it because I expedited NIL. Okay. The deal I did with Darius Baisley for due balance, a million dollar internship was NIL before NIL. I did that. But I'm just for the right positioning for NIL where it doesn't have kids jumping around from school to school and making decisions based upon the money. It's it's it's it's it's a bad habit to build when you start moving based upon finance. That's a very bad habit to build. Now I saw you recently on club Sheth. It's fun. Yeah you were on you
Starting point is 00:29:41 on their lying. Who's a bigger liar? You or LeBron? Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing. First of all, I'm not lying. As a friend of mine, Charlotte, man, you shouldn't say that on national TV. Because I'm not... I have no proof to back up you can't move like Steph. That's why you should not say I'm lying. Here's the point I'm trying to make. OK.
Starting point is 00:30:06 He asked a specific question. I gave a specific answer. And the key word, if this is a word problem, Shannon would have felt he would have got it wrong. OK. Shooting. I didn't say playing. I didn't say accolades.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I said shooting. So the point I'm trying to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make trying to make is if you want to shoot jump shots with me, you have to be a pro. So a game of horse? No, meaning we put five spots on the court from each spot from each spot, to beat me. to be eight out of ten from each spot to beat me. To pretty much tie me if I'm shooting really well. What have you done to prove this, Rich? Where is the tape? There's got to be to be the the the the the the there there's the the there's the the the the there's the the th. th. There's th. There's th. So th. So th. So the? So the. So the. So the. So the. So the the. So the. So tho' thoge thoge thoge the the. So the. So the. So the. So the. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, tho. So, th. So, th. th. the. th. the. So, the. So, the. So, the. So, the. So, the. So, tha. So, tho. So, the ten from each spot to beat me to pretty much tie me if I'm shooting it really well. What have you done to prove this, Rich? Where's the tape?
Starting point is 00:30:47 There's got to be some tape of something. Do you want some names you can call? I don't, who? Who? Call Kevin Hart. No, no. Call Dr. No, the to call Drake. Call Kevin Durant. That's the first athlete you named, by the way.
Starting point is 00:31:09 But I'm not, but wait a minute, I'm not done. Call Lebron, you can call him. He's gonna lie for you. He won't lie for me. He'll lie with me if I was lying. But I'm not lying. If I was lying. that the position. We don't have to lie. Do you all laugh at the memes of LeBron? I cry, what? I laugh at LeBron all day long. No, we had a group chat just hilarious. But no, seriously, the point I'm trying
Starting point is 00:31:34 to make is you, it's very difficult for a civilian, non-professional athlete, to shoot. You just called all of us athletes. Now we're civilian. I said not, that's non-professional athlete. I'm serious. And so Shannon's, he don't understand it. But we gotta have a little, he had to pay to see it. I don't do stuff for free like that. Rich Paul, ladies and gentlemen. Lucky Me is available now.
