Speaker 1: and this is the sixth time this has happened. To
2:58
Speaker 1: me in your career, yes, and uh, and I'm glad
3:03
Speaker 1: that people came to the show. And when the guy
3:04
Speaker 1: had a heart attack, I was on a bit called
3:06
Speaker 1: um a church bit called left the Church all here man,
3:08
Speaker 1: So the whole audience was praying for him at the

Speaker 1: same time. And I hope he's okay. I don't know yet, okay,
3:14
Speaker 1: because I gotta watch you because you go serious. I

3:20
Speaker 1: And then I don't know if my audience knew that. Well,
3:21
Speaker 1: I hope I didn't kill that's all. But whatever, this
3:28
Speaker 1: guy's okay, God bless him. But we have a good time.
3:30
Speaker 1: We laughed, and it's so important. I was on the
3:32
Speaker 1: show with some more. One of the greatest comedians Earthquake
3:36
Speaker 1: was there, My man Don d. C. Curry was there,
3:39
Speaker 1: My man um uhs Jake was there. Just awesome, man.
3:44
Speaker 1: We just had so much, so much fun. Bruce Bruce
3:46
Speaker 1: was there. Oh my god, that's why we were sold out.
3:51
Speaker 1: And that's great man. So I you know, when I
3:55
Speaker 1: was going through your bio, you know, I could have
3:56
Speaker 1: picked a lot of things. Your career is incredible. I've
3:59
Speaker 1: been the fortune it to be a part of watching
4:01
Speaker 1: it on TV and experience and as a friend. Six
4:04
Speaker 1: years old, Yes, sir, what why do you say it's
4:09
Speaker 1: six years old? You knew you wanted to be a
4:10
Speaker 1: comedian because I would watch Teleban and that was a
4:12
Speaker 1: man named Red Skelton and all of the characters that
4:15
Speaker 1: he did. There was a guy named Milton Barrow that
4:17
Speaker 1: was basically basically, I'd like to give my career to
4:19
Speaker 1: Red Button, Red Fox, Red Skelton and Pinky Lee. Those
4:24
Speaker 1: are old people of color. So I like, that's that's
4:26
Speaker 1: supposed to be a joke. We kind of chuckle or
4:29
Speaker 1: something if no money, but I would do those jokes.
4:33
Speaker 1: Would watch Tonight Show and I was watching all these
4:36
Speaker 1: let's also bringing Red Fox in the party records, Jackie Moms, Mayblee,
4:41
Speaker 1: George Pick, meet Markham. Those are very important. Sometimes we
4:44
Speaker 1: don't talk about those, but we will listen to the
4:46
Speaker 1: party records. I'm gonna take them back to school and
4:48
Speaker 1: do those jokes and everybody would be happy. So I
4:51
Speaker 1: found out at an early age when I'm when I
4:53
Speaker 1: see happy people, it makes me happier. And to this day,
4:56
Speaker 1: laughter is the greatest medicine in the world. You know
4:58
Speaker 1: when he was on the show is something when you
5:00
Speaker 1: came on, you know, you was really it's almost like
5:03
Speaker 1: you was kind of like mad at how people don't
5:06
Speaker 1: give themselves a shot of being successful. You know, it
5:10
Speaker 1: seems like because you're you're a natural entrepreneur and that
5:14
Speaker 1: means that. But but you said riot and you just
5:16
Speaker 1: you just don't understand why people don't believe in themselves more.
5:19
Speaker 1: Why is that? I don't know. I think it's it
5:21
Speaker 1: depends on where you grew up. It could be a
5:23
Speaker 1: parental guidance. It could be your neighborhood, could be your peers.
5:26
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, people you grew up with are
5:29
Speaker 1: still in the same predicament there in when you're left
5:32
Speaker 1: then trying to do better, and you can be better.
5:35
Speaker 1: I said, let's create a great day. Go out there
5:38
Speaker 1: and work on the day. Start your day every day positive.
5:40
Speaker 1: I gotta move he and I probably said, because I'm religious,
5:44
Speaker 1: a lot of people say I'm gonna wait on the Lord.
5:46
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait on the Lord. Well, if you sit
5:48
Speaker 1: on the couch and wait on the Lord, you know what,
5:50
Speaker 1: He'll sit right there next to you and nothing will
5:52
Speaker 1: be done. You've got to get up and make a step,
5:55
Speaker 1: and then to say you make one step, he'll make too.
5:57
Speaker 1: You got to plan, you got to be if you
5:59
Speaker 1: want to make I'm not gonna just say everybody can
6:02
Speaker 1: be successful, but everybody can take it making effort, Yes, sir,
6:06
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Making effort, because that's what I'm
6:08
Speaker 1: all geared about. That's why I created this show because
6:10
Speaker 1: I always felt that I'm trying to cut out some
6:12
Speaker 1: excuses why they're making conversations for the information. Because people
6:15
Speaker 1: are making an excuse, what can we go? Who can
6:18
Speaker 1: we talk to? Who com ment that this is a
6:19
Speaker 1: national mentorship? Because I can't mentor individual because I know
6:22
Speaker 1: a lot of people come to you said would you
6:24
Speaker 1: mentor me? Mr Wallace? Dr Wallace, I'm working, I'm busy.
6:26
Speaker 1: I got to think. You know what to say about
6:28
Speaker 1: rich people? What do they do? They work? These people work.
6:30
Speaker 1: So when you say the people have excuses, we call
6:32
Speaker 1: those debut people. I wouldn't do this, but yes, let's
6:36
Speaker 1: let's create this program. But and I don't have enough money,
6:39
Speaker 1: but we'll find it somewhere right right, and so so
6:42
Speaker 1: that's what I took away from that with you was
6:44
Speaker 1: like Rashawan I'm happy to be on your show. I'm
6:47
Speaker 1: happy to tell people that they can win. You can win.
6:51
Speaker 1: I think it started with me, maybe you back in
6:54
Speaker 1: the there's been a culture change in the last ut years.
6:59
Speaker 1: When we were key as and we stayed at our
7:00
Speaker 1: homes with our parents. The we had work ethics, had
7:04
Speaker 1: work ethics. We knew at eighteen you had to get
7:06
Speaker 1: a job or what get out of the house. Mention
7:11
Speaker 1: he was male, No, definitely, if you were may you
7:15
Speaker 1: got to go. You might be dad as girl, he'll
7:17
Speaker 1: keep you for a while, but a guy, you got
7:19
Speaker 1: to go. And I have never growing up here in Atlanta,
7:22
Speaker 1: I think all my friends that's all we did. We
7:24
Speaker 1: started working at an early age. When I say working,
7:26
Speaker 1: it's like we needed money. We would do simple things
7:30
Speaker 1: like soda bottles, pepty bottles, coke bottles. We find empty
7:35
Speaker 1: coke bottles. When I was a kid, as Solda on
7:37
Speaker 1: the cost we called a drink down here, enjoyed a
7:39
Speaker 1: drink only costs five cents. You take the empty bottle back,
7:42
Speaker 1: they give you two pennies. So what we do we
7:45
Speaker 1: collect bottles? What's what's that? A quarter? Even if we
7:51
Speaker 1: made a quarter, because the back of attyships is only
7:53
Speaker 1: a nickel back. Then we make money somehow. I would
7:56
Speaker 1: grab newspaper boy, a grocery store, walk shows off to
8:00
Speaker 1: the car for the people. So many different ways to
8:02
Speaker 1: make money sell. We sold rags, old rags in the
8:04
Speaker 1: household shirts, anything to make money could hangers. Here's the
8:07
Speaker 1: cool thing about when I talk to someone with a
8:10
Speaker 1: career like yours, because I look at you as a businessman,
8:13
Speaker 1: and because they're set back in their games. And sometimes
8:16
Speaker 1: your setbacks are in public and so and so when
8:19
Speaker 1: I say that might be a show he's a movie
8:21
Speaker 1: and doesn't do well, or chief television show you're starting
8:24
Speaker 1: and may get canceled. How does how do you deal
8:26
Speaker 1: with the setbacks knowing that it's in public. Well, that's
8:30
Speaker 1: a friend I think his name is. I know his
8:32
Speaker 1: name is Willy Jolly, a sective. He's getting a setback,
8:36
Speaker 1: is getting ready for set up, pick up or something
8:39
Speaker 1: like that. But every time you, oh, you learned something.
8:43
Speaker 1: So when you learn, you continue to know not to
8:45
Speaker 1: do that again. But you keep going up the mountain.
8:47
Speaker 1: I like to teach people you don't have to get
8:49
Speaker 1: to the top of the mountain, just be on your
8:50
Speaker 1: way up the mountain, keep going up, keep going up,
8:53
Speaker 1: like I have the greatest career. I'm the most successful
8:55
Speaker 1: person you ever made, you ever met. It's not how
8:58
Speaker 1: much money you make, that's how you enjoy of your
9:00
Speaker 1: life when you're living. I made enough money to do
9:02
Speaker 1: what I want to do and be what I want
9:04
Speaker 1: to be, go where I want to go. I got houses, property.
9:07
Speaker 1: I'm not my best friend of Jerry and even won
9:11
Speaker 1: a lot and see, but I know God has blessed
9:13
Speaker 1: me to be um Like my best friend is Jerry
9:17
Speaker 1: sign from the richest Man in comedy. We're having a
9:20
Speaker 1: conversation one day, Jerry and uh Anderson Cooper is it
9:23
Speaker 1: better to be rich or better to be famous? And
9:25
Speaker 1: I just thought, you know what, I'm right in the middle.
9:28
Speaker 1: I'm better off than both of you. I got enough
9:30
Speaker 1: money to do what I wanta do, go where I
9:31
Speaker 1: want to go whatever. But I can go pee. They
9:36
Speaker 1: can't buy fruit, right, they can't go pe because why
9:39
Speaker 1: every time they walk out of the house, quick click
9:42
Speaker 1: paparaz lan. So enough people know me to set this
9:44
Speaker 1: for my little ego. When I'm walking on the street,
9:46
Speaker 1: Like I said, I still go on stage and do
9:49
Speaker 1: jokes and I'm still having fun. I'm living the dream
9:52
Speaker 1: man Lucky. You won't believe you can actually walk away
9:54
Speaker 1: from your fans. No, I can't do that, I said.
10:03
Speaker 1: And I tell you what. When I go to the show,
10:05
Speaker 1: I love to have fun because I know these people
10:07
Speaker 1: pay my rent. Okay, And like I said, when I
10:09
Speaker 1: see happy people, it makes me happier. And I just
10:11
Speaker 1: love even when I go to church, you know, And
10:13
Speaker 1: I started back. Yeah, I had church in this in
10:16
Speaker 1: the stadium last night, and that was one of if
10:19
Speaker 1: I just love church. People need to laugh too, absolutely,
10:21
Speaker 1: that's too. Those are the main people that need to
10:23
Speaker 1: really absolutely get up off their butts and do something
10:25
Speaker 1: serious because they're really that's Those are people that gonna
10:28
Speaker 1: wait on the Lord. And when you sit there and
10:29
Speaker 1: wait on them. And I got my book, gut a
10:31
Speaker 1: book in laughing off. That's that's not your book. It
10:34
Speaker 1: was my book because I bought this book. You bought them,

Speaker 1: And then uh, they were on stage on the regular
14:41
Speaker 1: basis and he saw him at the bar and I
14:44
Speaker 1: was just because I couldn't get in. I was just
14:45
Speaker 1: trying to get in, get in, get in the dough.
14:47
Speaker 1: And he said, what's your name, young man? I said
14:49
Speaker 1: rashand mcdonfalms texts. He said, hanging there, You're gonna be funny.
14:53
Speaker 1: You're gonna be funny. And it was just he just
14:55
Speaker 1: issued that motivation to me without even knowing me. That's
14:58
Speaker 1: what I'm just saying, is that you're the type of
15:00
Speaker 1: person that lets everybody know there's an opportunity to be successful.
15:04
Speaker 1: Just stop stop stopping yourself exactly, and and don't be
15:08
Speaker 1: a hater. You know so many people always jumping on
15:10
Speaker 1: other people because they're successful. Who are they successful? I'm
15:13
Speaker 1: funnier than that, But it's not always about who's the funniest.
15:15
Speaker 1: That's how you carry yourself. And that's what I teach people.
15:17
Speaker 1: Also in businesses and other people in sales. There's somebody.
15:21
Speaker 1: I think everybody's in sales. That's the world I come
15:23
Speaker 1: from marketing and advertizing. So whatever you do, you're in sales.
15:27
Speaker 1: Even when I talk to school teachers, you're in sales.
15:30
Speaker 1: You've got to sell this program to these kids. You've
15:32
Speaker 1: got to sell whatever you do, and it's all about
15:35
Speaker 1: you when you present yourself the package, greet people with
15:38
Speaker 1: a smile, right because there's the only reason that somebody
15:41
Speaker 1: should buy PEPs and then cope, but the person that
15:43
Speaker 1: sells it to them with that personal handshake. We don't
15:47
Speaker 1: have that anymore. We're texting now, and I told my
15:50
Speaker 1: I managed to stop texting people, call them and talk
15:52
Speaker 1: to him personally. Let's go visit people when there's nothing
15:54
Speaker 1: better than checking somebody's hand talking to you, even if
15:56
Speaker 1: we were on the telephone. I'm looking you straight in
15:58
Speaker 1: the eye right now. It's a whole different personic perspective
16:01
Speaker 1: that we have here talking at me, and I'm not
16:04
Speaker 1: gonna hear you. I'm just gonna hear that. I'm just
16:05
Speaker 1: letting you know. Don't get too close. I will buck
16:07
Speaker 1: you up. I do business. Let me just tell you
16:12
Speaker 1: I did that talk about the bar in eight to
16:14
Speaker 1: set up another story about who this man is in
16:18
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety. He knows you woun I My lung collapsed, right,
16:22
Speaker 1: lung collapsed, so it's called normal thorax. And they turned
16:25
Speaker 1: and I was in hospital for thirty days. I'm sitting there.
16:28
Speaker 1: You know you're in hospital with thirty days. There's a
16:30
Speaker 1: lot of people to tell people that don't take sick days.
16:32
Speaker 1: I got a friend and accumulated over one on the
16:34
Speaker 1: sick days. I told you all you need twenty because
16:36
Speaker 1: chances are you've been in hospital over twenty days, you're
16:38
Speaker 1: gonna die. You were, and I'm changing. My career was
16:43
Speaker 1: taken off. It was taking off. I mean I was
16:45
Speaker 1: doing all the shows and you're in the hospital for
16:47
Speaker 1: thirty days. People forget about you. Phone call rings, Hello,
16:52
Speaker 1: did George Wallace? And then right now going how did
16:56
Speaker 1: he give a number? Get out that bid, get out
16:59
Speaker 1: that bad people waiting on you, wait on you go
17:04
Speaker 1: to work. I gotta go to work. And that that
17:06
Speaker 1: moved me so much because when you're in hospital for
17:08
Speaker 1: thirty days, I'm gonna just tell you just the real
17:11
Speaker 1: statement to say this. You watch people die because you
17:15
Speaker 1: can't be in hospital because that's what hospital. Either gonna
17:17
Speaker 1: leave or you're gonna die. When you're there for thirty days.
17:20
Speaker 1: You watch people die because you create relationships. You go
17:23
Speaker 1: by the room because you didn't got nobody to talk
17:25
Speaker 1: to your talking to the nurses. You know, you go
17:26
Speaker 1: to the rooms, you start meeting people. And for him
17:28
Speaker 1: to just tell me that get out, people, don't get up.
17:33
Speaker 1: Somebody's waiting on you. That was motivation that labeled me
17:37
Speaker 1: to be able to say, if he wants me to
17:39
Speaker 1: do something, did, I'm gonna do it. But I knew
17:42
Speaker 1: you would do it when I met you. And that's
17:43
Speaker 1: why I knew you would do it. We're both doers.
17:45
Speaker 1: That's why I had to call you in the hospital
17:46
Speaker 1: because that's my friend. Even though you said it was
17:49
Speaker 1: a collapse line. I punched him in the chest. Woman
17:52
Speaker 1: knot tell people about that. That's the real reason. And
17:59
Speaker 1: right today, I'm gonna send down the greater. Right now,
18:01
Speaker 1: I'm gonna selling to the CDC. That's the homer. That's
18:03
Speaker 1: what you try to get serious. Pour my heart. He
