(08:28):
it. Um, what's going onin the ie right now? Let me
pull up a script. But therewas one story that I definitely wanted to
talk about real quick in the localarea. Um, some students, not
students, some teacher was messing withthe students again. Oh man, it's
not a bad thing, Paul,Wait a minute, very bad you know.
(08:52):
Hey, that wasn't me, Thatwas I didn't say that out loud.
What I meant was, there's amathematics to it. Did you not
have a crush on a high schoolstudent that he was coming to a high
school student high school teacher? Yes? I did. But you know what
that is as far as it went, because back in our day we were
(09:13):
kids, that was just unheard of. I mean, how many teachers did
you see trying to touch on youwhen you were a kid. None,
all of them no, okay,see once again Mike flex was he's ready
to start some controversy. Oh,I'm asking the phone, RJ. Polo,
So keep talking. So you neverhad an interest in the teacher,
(09:35):
never had an interest in you.That's what you find. No teacher.
I thought from zero grade twelfth grade, I thought there was a teacher that
was cute. Yes, missus,missus Richardson. But that's as far as
it went. It was. Itwas innocent. It was a little crush.
She she used to grade my paperand I listened. I'd smell her
perfume and smile. But after allthat and it ain't ain't don get them
(09:58):
like that. Yeah, I knowwe're catching r J. Comes, come
come around. If you're here,Why are we catching women? I'm gonna
send uh poor shirt outside. Areyou wearing the big hat? Are you
wearing the big hat? No?Not okay, it's a big it's a
(10:18):
big brother, uh parking lot.But she's coming out there is she's a
beautiful woman. She's in a Jackiein great Jackie. You cannot talk to
her like that. Please don't.All right, I see you in the
second brother, But that's what I'msaying. So no, teachers message with
(10:39):
you. Man, you didn't haveno crushes. No teacher was crushing on
you. It was innocent, Itwas innocent. Nothing like that happened.
Like in the eighties. That wasn'tthe thing. That wasn't the business.
Paulse did you say you went tohigh school in the eighties. That was
two thousand years ago. No,when Jesus walked the earth. I'm talking
(11:03):
junior high school name. But thatjust never happened because like women back in
the day, risk their career,their job, there there there there,
their lives, the fifteen twenty dollarsan hour job. Yeah for some little
kid, what was he gonna dowith this three inch killer anyway, Well
(11:24):
he's gonna kill something. Well anyways. But the bad part about it was,
or the bad part about it isthis is, uh, this is
a situation that's content continuously going on. Yeah. Um, once this story
dies, guess what next week,We're gonna have another same story. So
is it part of our culture?Is it part of how we are as
(11:45):
human beings? That the young ladies, i mean the old older ladies like
the young men. So if that'sthe case, me being in my foreigners,
what would be the age group foryou know, I'm saying the older
women messing with me. Would Ihave to delete with the ladies in the
sixteen and seventies. I don't know, because you know, dating at the
old folk's home is not you know, that might be the new thing to
(12:07):
take up money. They're gonna payfor my cell phone. You're trying to
take grandma's money. Hey man,we gotta we gotta do what we gotta
do. I know what I do. Notice you haven't caught no black women,
no, because they liked that income. Yeah, coming in. You
(12:28):
ain't gonna never catch no woman riskingher life, her church, her children,
and her everything for some kid ata school. I tried. If
you look on the YouTube type ofall the women caught in California with young
boys, it's all white women fromthe age of twenty eight to forty five.
And they look kind of all rightthough, yeah, of course they
(12:48):
they're not the dusty old you knowwhat I'm saying, the uh misdoubt fire
looking type characters come on a seaton the don data. Yeah, it
did not the same type of youknow, missus doubt fire with the you
know, because that right there,no teachers are fine. Our teachers were
(13:09):
these ones right now? Yeah,it's dangerous. I feel something for the
boys. UM. As a parent, I would definitely take offense to this.
Um. I have a daughter,But if I had a son,
I think it would be on thesame level where I would hold them accountable.
I think all these women that's messingwith these young boys need to,
(13:30):
you know, suffer the same consequencesthat everybody else suffers. You know what
I'm saying. If if the olderdudes UM in the colleges are messing with
the younger girls, same thing,put him behind bars, letting them.
You know what I'm saying, uhpay for their transgressions. Yeah, but
what boy is gonna convict his teacherthat was hooking him up in the gym?
(13:50):
I'm saying, did she hook didshe hook up a homeboys? His
homeboys? Because if she hooked upthe whole crew, Danny, you know
what I'm saying, we ain't workand everything, But I'm not gonna I'm
not gonna tell him, my teacherthat if she did she did hook me
up, I'm not gonna tell.Yeah. But you different, Yeah,
yeah, I'm You're a different You'rea different little different person everything. But
(14:13):
so let's get into it. We'refifteen pass the hour and all of a
sudden, the Don Dada walked inand I was promoted yesterday, I was
promoting this is a don understanding.I got I got issues and I'm I'm

the in the promoter space? YaUm, is the ego? Are you
guys working together? Are you guyscompeting against each other? Because I feel,
as an outsider living here in theWest Coast that we suffer from an
ego issue. Okay do we Iknow? But how much ego will stop
(36:39):
us from coming together? That dependson the individual. You do what I'm
saying. So in your situation rightnow, Um, a lot of these
names that you mentioned, are theythe other the next generation? Are they

all working together with the comic goal. I want us to do that.
I'm a supporting that. Yeah,I'm so. Also, you have like
you go to Los Angeles. Thepromoters already do that. And and this
is one thing that d would alwaystalk to me about. R J.
It's it's it's it's your voice isgonna pull them together. So that's what
(38:06):
you used to say. So thereis no ego in me, very humble,
and it's not about it's not aboutthe money. It's about the currency
of each other and this networking andpulling themes together. Because if your child
comes in the door, or ifyour little cousin comes in and they're related
to you, they're not related tome. And I got to take care
of the people. You know whatI'm saying, A healthy business attitude,
(38:28):
am I. So to answer theother questions, I'll ask the other question
am I open to a mentoring Ialready? Do you know people that actually
reach out to me and have thatconversation that they know that I'm about uplifting
putting positivity into their mind? Whattype of audio books to listen to?
What tools do I use? Howdo I how do I network? What's
(38:52):
most effective? How do you saveyour time? You know? How do
you manage these things? Because weall do a lot. You know,
I also trade currency, trade currencya lot. I'm in the forex market.
My company is uh BFx. Bitcoinmeets for X. Really is that
(39:12):
the same as cryptocurrency? Is itdifferent than bitcoin? Break it down for
me. So when you talk aboutcryptocurrency, cryptocurrency, there's thousands of different
coins that are still being created tothis day. Bitcoin the most popular one
is cryptocurrency. Okay. What mycounterparts shouts out with when we're saying what
(39:37):
we do is we teach a collectiveof people how to put money in the
market, not giving it to anyone, but taking your dollars, opening up
your own account, and showing themhow to grow their dollars with compounding interests.
If you guys don't know about compoundinterest, you go to compound daily
dot org. Okay, and withcompound daily dot org you'll put to the
(40:00):
uh the the dollar mouth that youstart with. What we do is we
teach you how to grow their accountby three percent day three percent. You
grow by three percent without the weekends. And what I love is trading.
Uh the doal Jones. Everybody hearsabout the doal Jones. Right, we're
(40:21):
watching the news. You hear sportsweather stocks. Right, the dial Jones
is the top thirty companies in theUnited States, and it moves very fast
at certain times of the day.But my job is to grab thirty points
per day, right, And thatway I'm able to grow my ac count
by three percent. You grow bythree percent. You can take one hundred
(40:44):
five dollar account for the novice andgrow up by three percent daily. On
compound interest, you can grow itover six figures in a year. Is
that the minimum you want to Oh? No, yes, the minimum?
Yes, well, technically just startingoff that you're trying to learn it.
If you put if you put themore money in, three percent, obviously
(41:05):
it's gonna equal bigger, absolutely,absolutely, yeah. So three percent is
the cap, but depends on howmuch you put in. That's what your
return is so you know my capis five hundred, what's the risk?
I mean, what's the risk fivehundred? That's the risk. If I
lose five then I can walk away. But if I put ten ten k
down at three percent, you alreadyon the math. I'm looking for,
(41:30):
mister dal Jones. Money don't comethrough, right. But so so this
is this is one thing that Ilook at. Right. First thing is
being discipline and not over leveraging.You've ever been to Salmonuel or Yamava,
whatever it's called. Now you goup there and you have so you have
a thousand dollars and you start playingone hundred dollars hands or a five hund
(41:52):
dollars hands. You don't play twotwice. Yeah, you're done right.
But let's say if you have athousand dollars you're playing twentys hand, you
can play a lot longer. Sothe risk is so the risk is longevity
versus absolutely. So it's not nopumping dump, it's not no flipping.
Is a long term investment type ofthing. How long would you say for
(42:15):
a young person or any person tojump into the market and set them mind
up saying this is going to bea long haul. How do you turn
people because everybody wants to flip abuck. Well, first thing I do
is, first thing I do isI would start it with a demo account.
Once you start a demo account waswhere you have a fanom money.
(42:36):
He's just an account with excess andzeros. It says a dollar amount.
Once you start with you and youstart to learn how to jump in and
out of the market, then whenyou feel comfortable with it, then you
go ahead and say, Okay,I'm going to take slow steps. Remember
fast cash, fast crash. Soyou want to move slow. And when
it's in blue, which is profit, it's on you. When it's in
(42:58):
blue, it's on you. Soquestion question, how can we just don't
give you the money to flip them? Because I'm not going to be responsible
for your dollars. But you,I mean we can split the you know
the difference. I just don't wantto. But okay, okay, well,
I mean there's this, Uh Iknow we got to move to the
next topic. But this is onething that I learned. Um. Yeah,
(43:20):
I can give you a fish todayand you'll eat today. Yeah,
but if I teach you how tofish, they say that you'll eat forever.
Just you though, But but buthold on, hold on, hold
on, hold on. But ifI teach you how to hold on to
this intellectual property, now you'll beable to buy the pond so your children's
(43:42):
children can eat forever. See that'smathematics. Yeah, that's mathematics. I
appreciate that because I'm losing my ain the market right now. I have,
like I have like two shares ofthe two shares of that, and
it's going. Man, look atthe top thirty, Look at the top
thirty companies the United States. Whenthe parker goes up or down, we
get the market, we get it. So it's it's okay, it's it's
(44:05):
all right. Last night I didmy thirty points and I was cool.
I was driving home from a nightclub. I was driving home and I hit
I put my trades on when Iwas in the club, Like, literally,
I know how to trade. Ihave intellectual problem. That's real money,
where you're making money sleeping. That'sthe definition of actually a business,
(44:27):
you know. Yeah, So thenwhat I'll do is I'll take the money
from there. Uh you know.Of course, they'll pay you out in
crypto, which is bighoin, andthen you can afford an artist, then
you'll have these artists. I'll comethrough, you know. Quick question when
we was gonna break, Cosmo wasasking you the funniest, best act that
you brought out here, you know, the most, you know, the
(44:50):
easiest to work with, the mostthat brought you in. What was your
take on that? You said,Buster, Well, we did. Buster.
Rymes was in Vegas hoops with Jamaljamp but here at make Champagne Lounge.
Oh my god, oh man,the best one, the best artist.
Name, give me a name.Sugar Free Okay, okay, okay.
(45:15):
You know, because he's mostly jadedbecause his Pomona it's not the truth
for his Pomona love going on hereat the fastest wedding you've ever seen in
your life. He's married for twomonths. Hey, shout out, he
shout out, shout out to thewine. You know, sugar Free.
What's up, bro? So checkthis out with sugar Free. Uh.
(45:36):
Honestly, he's a godly man.Hey, real talk what man? The
conversations we had he's he's he's aone of my books. He's a godly
man. People. You know,he has this his genre of art.
But at the end of the day, Hey, we are we are source.
(45:57):
But his show was a phenomenal.He performed the longest of all the
other artists. He did a fortyfive minutes set. He had other other
yeah, other performers with him.He actually be seeing one of the tracks
with him too. Oh my way, that's it right there. That was
the song right there, And thenext other artists would have been a second
(46:22):
would have been um m mmmm.With Maya, Whoa Maya, she was
real, Yeah, my goodness,Maya, she is so aspitable. But
between her and uh Gulopola that wereboth like for like cousins, like that
still look good, so that itwas Maya. The energy was good,
Yes, that's what's up. Yes, it was not no Hollywood energy.
(46:44):
More than just looking good. Herspirit was like like she you know,
she was cool. She was likelike, damn, she is a little
I know some power. I waslike, I know somebody for you,
girl, like I'm introducing my homeboy. It's not you, it's not you.
It's not it's not me or you. Right, No, I'm married.
I got little Kim. If LittleKim looked at me, I'm like,
(47:07):
yeah, but I can change.I wouldn't trade a little game from
my girl anyway, Noah, butuh it's little little Kim. But little
Kim. I didn't get to interactwith her because because the NBA, you
know, there are certain deals thatwe wake out with different artists. Explain
what does that mean? No disclosureagreements. You know, you can't talk
(47:27):
to them, you can't touch them, and cant I mean whatever the contract
or whatever the contract stipulation, can'tdo it. I mean we had to
actually had to take all our takeall our cameras out everything. So if
someone had like their video camera ontheir phone, they captured it. Cool.
But if it was like our professionallike guy walking around shouts out to
genuine tank too and them guys alwaysshow up, They always show out.
(47:52):
They take pictures with everybody. Getsay with John B. Shouts out to
you you know and his lovely wife. You know, they were good people.
You know, I did not knowthat that that certain celebrities have these
type of stipulations. You know,she really won't do a lot of mingling
as well. She's like no,no, like Nellie and jar Rule that
(48:13):
was like come on, yeah,you know, pick me on me like
a baby baby. The little kiddon't like up close pictures. That's why
she she has that. No,I didn't know. I didn't about three
or four times. Man, sheis. She's a nice lady. She's
a nice lady. But Little Kimhas her she she she's in Hollywood big
(48:37):
time. She has her issues thatshe does not want print. She doesn't
want any of the magazine. Shedon't. I have to beg you different
Little Kim as Little Kim was veryclassy. She wasn't on, she wasn't
Hollywood. She just doing what thecontract said. So it was cool.
But hold on. But but FaithEvans, that's my girl. Shot up
(49:00):
Faith Evans, man, shout outto you. Yeah, Faith Evans is
dope, man. I love her. She was cool. She was good
to my wife. You know,gave the mic to my wife while she
was singing a song here finished lyrics. You know what I'm saying. So
you got some nookie nookie that night, then that's what you're saying. Come
on, man, I talk abouttalking about what good shot? Hey,
(49:27):
I mean, hot topic before weget out of here. Um we I
see, Oh I heard on theway home something about Epstein. You're familiar
with the Epstein He got caught upwith um, what's his name? Elon
Musk? Okay not Elon Musk isa guy I like the African. I
like him. Yeah, he's African, you know, Yeah, it's Caucasian
(49:51):
African. Ye. But yeah,I'm glad you clarified that. But I
don't think it is like how themeter is framing it, like he was
down with Epstein it was some money. But my question to the panel here
is how much money would it takefor you to roll with Epstein? Like
understanding like how that cat rolled?What is your morals and your dollars?
(50:15):
Would you ever roll with him knowingwhat he did because he has a list
that is That's that's first, I'llgo first. That's a hard question to
answer because do you see how manypeople got caught up because of Epstein?
Nobody got caught up? The onlyone girl well and got longer and longer.
Yeah, as the story went on. Okay, So I mean because
(50:35):
Chris Tucker, see, I don'tknow, I don't know, don't ask
me. I would have to meanpersonally, I'm gonna have to cancel Chris
if he's on the list, well, he's only he was up there,
Bill, Yeah, I wou hecan hang out with the dude. But
(50:55):
no, it was at the partythe island. They was on the it
was on the plane plane, misterTucker, he was the only black person
on that why he went gospel.He went, he went Christian after that
when the stuff came out, yes, oh no, no, no,
no, yes, give it tous. There is no way I would
compromise my soul and my spirit totaint my my lineage. Because let's say,
(51:22):
if I do something wrong, okay, right, and it's done in
the dark, yeah, no oneever knows about it, not a person.
You know what God would do,He wouldn't make sure your children's children
would feel it because this thing socalled a general generational generational curses. So
and I've been wait, wait yousay generational curses versus generational wealth is equal
(51:46):
of my father? What you're talkingabout? Man? So? Uh that
was this uh, this person thatI that I that I study right,
and this person uh has other siblings, Um, that person that did wrong
in the dark, all of hislineage all have children out of wedlock and
(52:10):
they all and all the men haveto pay child support, every single one
of them. But all of hissiblings that did right, all of their
family tree of doctors, lawyers,high level positions. Uh, just fruitful
life. So um the karmas withwith with you know, with this natural
(52:30):
discernment and prayer and dis understanding howlife works. It's because of the decisions
of of other people that affect everyoneelse upunder you. And sometimes it just
can't be broken until it's acknowledged andyou're and you're broken from it. It's
got to pray over it and makesure that decided broken from your spirit.
Okay, I'm gonna give you tenmillion dollars to change that view. No,
(52:53):
No, let me tell you why, tell you why? Mother is
not real? Keeping money is notreal. People are. It's the currency
of people, curacy of people.Money is not real. Money is money
is money, comes to money,comes ago. We can make some more
money, but not a good person. So you, your inside would say,
(53:15):
yeah, I can't roll with that. So would you if the Epstein
character was a real friend of yours, would you pull into a side and
say, yo, bro, whatyou're doing you're supposed to And I learned
from personal experience. I was ayoung man. I was a young man,
still a young man, and oneof my buddies had slept with a
married woman. Okay, right,And and being a young person, you
(53:37):
think it's cool. Man, goodjob, you know what I'm saying.
Start to dig down and ask somemore questions. The dude was she was
married to a cop and it wasin his house. And then all of
a sudden things start going wrong inmy life and I'm like, okay,
what's going on? And I hadto go home and do some personal Bible
study. Opened up my Bible,start reading the passages and what God would
(54:00):
telling me in that scriptures were whatI accept from other people, and I
and I when I'm supposed to becorrecting them. And if I'm going ahead
and accepting that and cheering them one, that's just as bad as me doing
it. Oh see see see thathurt. So you can't just turn the
blind eye. You actually have tosay something to if it's not right.
(54:22):
You just nah, you can't,you can't do it. You can't just
get you like that all the timefor everything. So again I say,
your conscience always works on you likethat for everything. We all have that.
And if we don't pay attentions,you pay attention to it every time.
When that when that in a situationI have to you know what you
have to I mean, this ismoth and lyon, right. Have you
heard the story of the mouth ofthe lion, the moth and the the
(54:45):
mouth in the line. But keepdoing okay, So sometimes God will come
to you, right, and he'llstart talking to you. God is a
gentle guy, right, and he'lljust talk to you and won't be like,
hey, hey, and we seewhat happens we see a fly or
a moth or butterfly. Man.God is an eight dog. I'm just
trying to haul at you, right, and then he's Okay, I ain't
(55:07):
gonna kill you, but I'm gonnabite you like a lion. I'm gonna
stand your arm off. I'm gonnatake your house, take your wife,
take a job, take all thethings that you feel as as us men,
you know the things that makes us, that makes us men. Provide,
you know, the three three pieceprovide, protect the proclaim right.
And if you can't do that,like damn, I'm I'm not up in
(55:27):
my game, okay, And youhave to actually listen to God. And
if you're not listening, he's gonnacome as a lion and bite you.
So let him just come as amoth and just tart to you. So
I love that. I love that. I love that. Um, what
you said, Yeah, what yousaid about would you either have a moth
or a life? What you saidabout the lion? Did you hear the
(55:49):
story today by the guy getting armchoked off by the crocodile. It's all
gone. He wasn't listening listening allright. So we're coming up close to
the hour. But before we getout of here, I know you got
