Speaker 1: funniest comedians I know the money making conversations. Mr George Wallace,
1:48
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, How would you? Good morning? In some places?
1:51
Speaker 1: Good to talk to George Wallace. Um, there's a lot
1:55
Speaker 1: of people that you met in life and somebody wants
2:00
Speaker 1: to speak to you. I don't know why anybody want
2:02
Speaker 1: to speak to you other than me, because I've had Okay,
2:06
Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk to me because I am somebody.
2:09
Speaker 1: I am living my dream. I love life, I love God.
2:12
Speaker 1: I love you Richard McDonald, But I don't like Less Brown.
2:20
Speaker 1: You're not listening and I'm going, oh my god, lets
2:24
Speaker 1: his on and I just text less yesterday during this
2:28
Speaker 1: business conversation. His name was gonna come up as an
2:30
Speaker 1: inspirational person to talk to. So, yes, you're right, I
2:34
Speaker 1: don't like him, but what he has to say, you
2:36
Speaker 1: better listen to it. That Mr Brown, did you hang
2:39
Speaker 1: around for this? You know George is something gold. But
2:42
Speaker 1: you know, George literally saved my career. Were at a
2:46
Speaker 1: radio station in New York and I know he, I
2:49
Speaker 1: mean in in Washington, d C. And the program director
2:53
Speaker 1: did not like me. And so I had a morning
2:56
Speaker 1: show and George my calls and he for the all
3:00
Speaker 1: slow records on and and he just was very negative
3:04
Speaker 1: towards me, and so I decided that I was gonna
3:10
Speaker 1: jack him up. And so George, you went from motivational
3:14
Speaker 1: speaking to jacket somebody that's right after the that's a lot.
3:19
Speaker 1: He was not going to jack him up. He was
3:21
Speaker 1: gonna literally throw the physically throw the man out of
3:24
Speaker 1: the window. Yes, And so George is six four goud
3:29
Speaker 1: between us and he says less. He says, nobody knows him.
3:34
Speaker 1: He said, but everybody knows you. He said, you cannot
3:38
Speaker 1: do this, and he stopped. But you have to have
3:41
Speaker 1: someone who can speak to you, and you listen to
3:45
Speaker 1: and I listened to him, and and so I stopped
3:48
Speaker 1: because I was gonna tear that studio up with him.
3:51
Speaker 1: He was because he was trying to sabotage me. But
3:53
Speaker 1: George said, it doesn't matter, just do what you have
3:56
Speaker 1: to do. And and he just helped me to a
3:59
Speaker 1: higher standard. I lost it right right. And a lot
4:03
Speaker 1: of people do that life, you know, they forget their
4:06
Speaker 1: roles in life. You know who you hang around with.
4:09
Speaker 1: It makes it because there's some people say, yeah, get him, yes, yes, see,
4:13
Speaker 1: no he didn't do that. Yeah. The other thing is
4:16
Speaker 1: I was fascinated with George. I saw him the first
4:18
Speaker 1: time he came on television the Johnny Carson Show. I wondered,
4:23
Speaker 1: why would he not change his name given George Wallace
4:27
Speaker 1: about the white segregationists. And I asked him on the
4:32
Speaker 1: air and said, why didn't you change your name and
4:34
Speaker 1: come out with another name, and he said, and he
4:37
Speaker 1: accomplished this. He said, I decided that I was gonna
4:41
Speaker 1: make George Wallace a good name. And so when people
4:46
Speaker 1: think about George Wallace now, they don't think about the segregationists.
4:50
Speaker 1: They think about George Wallace, the comedian who make people
4:53
Speaker 1: feel good about themselves, make people laugh, and and he
4:56
Speaker 1: brings a lot of joy. So I admire that because
5:00
Speaker 1: as he could have easily decided, you know what, I'm
5:02
Speaker 1: I'm going to change my name so I can be
5:05
Speaker 1: more accepted. But he didn't do that, and his talent
5:10
Speaker 1: overrode the reputation of George Wallace the segregationist or he
5:14
Speaker 1: is worth. Yes, we love you, uncle George. It's such
5:18
Speaker 1: a classic man. Thank you own a god, bless you today.
5:21
Speaker 1: Something you know? Everybody? You know everybody? Okay, you know
5:25
Speaker 1: he got forty five? How do you know her voice?
5:29
Speaker 1: And what do you call him? Less brown? His name
5:32
Speaker 1: is less black. I had a call with you, George.
5:41
Speaker 1: I said, we're not going to be funny on the show.
5:44
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about life, you know, but it's hard
5:47
Speaker 1: to talk to a fool and stop him. Oh my lord, Okay, listen,
5:53
Speaker 1: we won't do any more jokes. We're just talking about
5:55
Speaker 1: the good things about living life. Life is so good.
5:58
Speaker 1: Let's do that making money the same time, making money
6:01
Speaker 1: at the same time. So do you have anything to
6:02
Speaker 1: say for you black? Mr Black? Listen? George called me
6:08
Speaker 1: less brown and more black. You know, not be funny
6:15
Speaker 1: with less brown on less brown is crazy? You know
6:17
Speaker 1: you got me. I hear speaking church and I'm gonna
6:19
Speaker 1: look at that fool up there. You know I cut
6:21
Speaker 1: in church now. I really come because I met a
6:24
Speaker 1: man in Atlanta's name is Walker. Fucking flame rap. What
6:29
Speaker 1: the fuck are they ain't CUsing but show here's close
6:32
Speaker 1: And so we're less walked up from the pool and
6:36
Speaker 1: I said, this Walker, I gotta pray for him. He
6:43
Speaker 1: needs a lot of friends and a lot of help. Hey, George, owner, Owner,
6:48
Speaker 1: got a question for you right now? Okay, yes, you
6:51
Speaker 1: got a question for you right yes, sir, Uncle George.
6:53
Speaker 1: We're talking about money and success. There's a lot of
6:56
Speaker 1: athletes and comedians and celebrities that have doned, died broke
7:01
Speaker 1: after making millions of dollars. One of the things I
7:03
Speaker 1: respect about you, you've obviously managed your money well and
7:07
Speaker 1: been able to continue your success for years, so many years.
7:12
Speaker 1: How do you what do you? What would you attribute
7:15
Speaker 1: that to? Well, I'm known from day one does a
7:18
Speaker 1: term called show business, and you have to separate those two.
7:22
Speaker 1: Does a show and there's business, And a lot of
7:24
Speaker 1: people don't know because I am a comedian, because I
7:27
Speaker 1: am foolish. But the bottom line is I'm a serious
7:29
Speaker 1: guy about living well right, and everybody should live well.
7:32
Speaker 1: There's no reason why you shouldn't live well, and God
7:35
Speaker 1: wants you to live well. I mean, why shouldn't you
7:37
Speaker 1: prosper that if the money is out there? Sometimes a
7:39
Speaker 1: friend of mine used to drop a hundred dollars on
7:41
Speaker 1: the floor on the way to the stage right, and
7:44
Speaker 1: that would she would mention the fact that there's a
7:46
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on the floor and they're just sitting there
7:48
Speaker 1: waiting for somebody to pick it up. You just gotta
7:50
Speaker 1: go get it. You want some money, go get it,
7:52
Speaker 1: and you gotta have it. It's in your head to
7:54
Speaker 1: be successful. I've known since day one in school that, uh,
7:58
Speaker 1: the school wants the school to You want to ask
8:00
Speaker 1: who's gonna be a millionaire. I'm the only one with
8:02
Speaker 1: my hand up. It's embedded in you that that's what
8:05
Speaker 1: you're gonna do. You gotta live your dreams. A matter
8:07
Speaker 1: of fact, you gotta read Less's book. That'll help you
8:10
Speaker 1: out a lot. Live your dreams, visualize what you want
8:13
Speaker 1: in life, and you can have anything. And you work too.
8:16
Speaker 1: But let me say this. You know what millionaires do.
8:19
Speaker 1: They work. All millionaires work. Look at everybody's successful. They work.
8:25
Speaker 1: But you gotta think, when you have this money, you
8:27
Speaker 1: can't throw it away. We got these successful football players
8:30
Speaker 1: and basketball players, all these athletes. Let me say that
8:33
Speaker 1: they get three thirty million dollar contract, first thing they
8:36
Speaker 1: do is by a forty million dollar home. But they
8:38
Speaker 1: don't know that money is not always gonna be coming in.
8:40
Speaker 1: And when the contracts stop, the bills the house note
8:43
Speaker 1: kick continues. So that's why you see people they do
8:46
Speaker 1: the wrong They make the wrong decisions. You know, you
8:48
Speaker 1: gotta take that money and save it. And you don't
8:50
Speaker 1: need five rose rosses unless you just got you know,
8:54
Speaker 1: like a broad Maywell if you get that got that
8:56
Speaker 1: kind of money, but you can have fun. You do
9:00
Speaker 1: ellion dollars though back tax. So that's the conversation he
9:04
Speaker 1: has to deal with that. Twenty two million dollars that
9:06
Speaker 1: there's nothing for him. He's gonna flight one n he's
9:08
Speaker 1: gonna fight one night and he can pay it off.
9:10
Speaker 1: About that, he's gonna makebillion. I was on the fight.
9:12
Speaker 1: But you still gotta pay taxes on that too. Now
9:14
Speaker 1: that's always tax that. Now there's always text. That's one
9:17
Speaker 1: thing you gotta do to river. Forget that. That's another
9:20
Speaker 1: way to get it in trouble. Hey your tax I've
9:24
Speaker 1: gotten to the point I want to pay my text
9:25
Speaker 1: so well, I add an additional sums of money just
9:28
Speaker 1: for miscellaneous charges that I may not know about that
9:31
Speaker 1: they might come back and talk to you about exactly.
9:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you some, George. I'm tell some George
9:36
Speaker 1: because I want I'm gonna keep your while around for
9:38
Speaker 1: a minute, because of the fact that you know, man
9:42
Speaker 1: to be funny in generations, you know, and I say
9:44
Speaker 1: generation every decade, and to be funny because you let's
9:49
Speaker 1: let's be real, like I was with Mr Brown earlier.
9:50
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about the dynamics of longevity
9:54
Speaker 1: and greatness and you before death comedy jam with her
10:00
Speaker 1: so so and you know this is true because I
10:03
Speaker 1: had to deal with this when you're making white people laugh.
10:06
Speaker 1: A lot of people thought you father couldn't make black
10:08
Speaker 1: people laugh. Is that true? I don't know what it's true.
10:11
Speaker 1: I've always made everybody laugh because I'm I'm a people person.
10:14
Speaker 1: I love people and always knew that. I love making
10:17
Speaker 1: them laugh. And I I'm kind of different because it's
10:20
Speaker 1: very hard for me to see color. I know one color,
10:23
Speaker 1: I know green. I know that's right and and and
10:32
Speaker 1: that if that inspires you. So the transition when when
10:35
Speaker 1: death kind of Jam came about didn't affect you at all,
10:39
Speaker 1: couldn't pick me and I went on and I did
10:41
Speaker 1: Death Company Jam. I need it. I hosted it a
10:43
Speaker 1: few nights. I've had fun in both arenas, and I
10:46
Speaker 1: just love making people black white. I used to do
10:49
Speaker 1: the better. I don't care what you're black, white, blue,
10:51
Speaker 1: or green. You know, as long as you're having fun,
10:53
Speaker 1: because there's nothing better than My job as a comedian
10:56
Speaker 1: is the greatest job in the world. It happens to
10:58
Speaker 1: be the hardest job as far as the show business
11:01
Speaker 1: is concerned. The hardest job in the world is public speaking,
11:05
Speaker 1: the most fear thing to do in life. And when
11:07
Speaker 1: we got to go on stage, we don't only have
11:09
Speaker 1: to speak. We gotta get last. We gotta produce jokes.
11:12
Speaker 1: We gotta deliver jokes. And it's harder than any other
11:15
Speaker 1: art point from out there. So I love doing it,
11:18
Speaker 1: and they reward me with pay, and no, I saw
11:20
Speaker 1: often say I would do it for free. Why because
11:22
Speaker 1: I under my essence, I love what I do and
11:24
Speaker 1: I love to show people what I do. Because when
11:27
Speaker 1: you make people happy, you can't go wrong. Yeah, I
11:30
Speaker 1: mean you just think about it. You can't even take
11:32
Speaker 1: a smile without feeling better. That's amazing, that's true. Now
11:36
Speaker 1: they gotta leave everybody to go to the break please.
11:39
Speaker 1: Uh you know, if you're gonna do some condolences and
11:41
Speaker 1: say he black, why you don't tell by the owner?
11:44
Speaker 1: Do your thing? George and Mr Brown, you do your thing.
11:47
Speaker 1: Let's brown more black? You you believe Mongolia nor George's family.
11:59
Speaker 1: I love George, and I tell you it's it's it
12:02
Speaker 1: was a blessing. We used to this show together. We
12:04
Speaker 1: had a great time. And we found out on the

12:12
Speaker 1: And I mean we found out on their reading the
12:14

Speaker 1: career guidance night man. Actually I went to church. I
15:46
Speaker 1: told him on the other day. I went to church
15:48
Speaker 1: so much that when I first got my I got

Speaker 1: out of everybody in room, she knew I did it right, right, right,

Speaker 1: commanders around the world, and I'm busy. Like I'm just
20:54
Speaker 1: blessed now because you can't, because you can slow down.
20:58
Speaker 1: I remember when you at the Vegas show at the
21:00
Speaker 1: Mingo Hotel ten years ten years you had that you
21:03
Speaker 1: missed the Las Vegas. But yes, but let me ask you.
21:06
Speaker 1: This is because you mentioned a lot of things. I
21:09
Speaker 1: mean even that that's a that's a career right there
21:12
Speaker 1: that you just mentioned right there. What is the what
21:15
Speaker 1: what's the next step for for you? George? What do
21:17
Speaker 1: you want to do? What do you want to do
21:18
Speaker 1: besides what you're doing, which is exceptional? Am I asking
21:21
Speaker 1: a generic question that say, Richard, I'm doing what I
21:24
Speaker 1: want to do? Well, there are other things besides a book.
21:27
Speaker 1: I there's another book comment somewhere. Yeah, I did a
21:30
Speaker 1: book and I'm gonna do another book. Well the reason
21:33
Speaker 1: I do what I do? Uh? And you talked about
21:37
Speaker 1: the career in Las Vegas. I did something. I went
21:39
Speaker 1: there for thirty days and turn out to be ten years.
21:42
Speaker 1: I love that. And what happened was I didn't know it,
21:46
Speaker 1: and it happened to me so quickly, and I was
21:48
Speaker 1: into the the groove. My ultimate goal. Guess what my
21:52
Speaker 1: ultimate goal was in life? What's the headline? In Las Vegas?
21:57
Speaker 1: And I was there for eight years, I'm going, oh
21:58
Speaker 1: my god, I've done it. I've been in Laws Vegas
22:02
Speaker 1: longer than they worked to stage, longer than any African
22:04
Speaker 1: American ever at the Flamingo. And the most important thing is,
22:08
Speaker 1: and since your show is about money, I did not
22:11
Speaker 1: work for the hotel. I own the show. I know
22:14
Speaker 1: I pay you the twenty six workers. I did all
22:16
Speaker 1: of the marketing, I did all of the advertising, I
22:19
Speaker 1: did all of the promo. It's not your name. When
22:21
Speaker 1: you get to Las Vegas, it doesn't matter who you are.
22:24
Speaker 1: You're seeing entertainers go in and out of Laws Vegas,
22:26
Speaker 1: big names and don't make it after a few weeks.
22:29
Speaker 1: But I was there because I had the experience and
22:31
Speaker 1: the professionalism of the business. Mind Let's put it like that,
22:36
Speaker 1: to go and visit every hotel the mindset, visit every
22:41
Speaker 1: country at every hotel, personally shake their hands at least
22:44
Speaker 1: once every six months. It doesn't matter who your name is.
22:48
Speaker 1: You've got ticket brokers out there selling tickets. They're gonna
22:50
Speaker 1: sell the tickets that they make the most money off
22:53
Speaker 1: before they sell your tickets. So that's why some entertaining
22:55
Speaker 1: has didn't make it in Las Vegas. You gotta go
22:57
Speaker 1: out and you gotta shoot hands. It doesn't matter what
23:00
Speaker 1: your name is. You gotta go to people like uh,
23:03
Speaker 1: time shareholders, those those people to sell time shows date
23:07
Speaker 1: by thousands of tickets the day. So you gotta get
23:09
Speaker 1: into the business. Mine how can I sell this? And
23:12
Speaker 1: then I also I was in advertising. Ever we went
23:15
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas, people used to say I had five
23:17
Speaker 1: trucks going down the street back to back to back
23:19
Speaker 1: to back to back, George Wallace, People say, why would
23:22
Speaker 1: you put five trucks back to back in that crazy
23:25
Speaker 1: Why would you ask me about it? There you go,
23:27
Speaker 1: because it means they mesage. They saw it, they saw
23:30
Speaker 1: the message. They saw as a business the show, and
23:34
Speaker 1: then there's a business. So at night at ten o'clock,
23:36
Speaker 1: the best ten PM show in Las Vegas for ten years,
23:39
Speaker 1: I was on stage telling jokes. I owned the show.
23:41
Speaker 1: I might do an hour, might doing on a hat,
23:43
Speaker 1: but I owned the room. I could do what I
23:45
Speaker 1: wanted to do. But during the day, I was handling
23:47
Speaker 1: the business park for ten years a decade in Vegas.
23:50
Speaker 1: African American man said exactly, and then they'd never been
23:54
Speaker 1: done before. I didn't, thank God. And I was on
23:57
Speaker 1: stage one night and my best friend went on stage.
24:00
Speaker 1: You said, we've been doing this for ten years. America
24:02
Speaker 1: needs to see you again. So we're gonna close the show.
24:05
Speaker 1: That's what my best friend said. And he knows, he
24:08
Speaker 1: knows more about money than anybody, and he quitte a
24:11
Speaker 1: successful show and his prime. So I said, you're right,
24:14
Speaker 1: I gotta get back out in America. That's why I'm
24:16
Speaker 1: out doing the tours and making money and doing television
24:19
Speaker 1: during the movies. Life is just good. Hey, George, I
24:23
Speaker 1: called you personally asked you to call and do my show.
24:25
Speaker 1: You said, Rashwan, what time? And you've done it. And
24:29
Speaker 1: I think more importantly, you've told people about you and
24:32
Speaker 1: what it takes to be successful if they want to
24:35
Speaker 1: follow in your footsteps, not only as a comedian but
24:37
Speaker 1: as a person in life. So in closing, George, what
24:40
Speaker 1: what the nuggets of inspiration would you give my listeners
24:43
Speaker 1: a money making conversation? And I'm money making conversations. Think
24:47
Speaker 1: about what you're doing under your essence. Don't be afraid
24:49
Speaker 1: to put your business on on the street, and don't
24:51
Speaker 1: be afraid to to make choices that take chances. Don't
24:54
Speaker 1: be in the fish bowl the fish and the fish
24:56
Speaker 1: boat goes back and forth. Some time you gotta jump
24:58
Speaker 1: out of that fish bowl and get into a new
25:00
Speaker 1: world and enjoy what you want to do. Don't be
25:02
Speaker 1: afraid to fail. You know, when I was in sales
25:05
Speaker 1: in New York City, I was vice president of the
25:07
Speaker 1: world's largest outdoor advertising company. Our formula was every twelve
25:11
Speaker 1: knows then you get it. Yes, that that's hard. Some
25:14
Speaker 1: people can't deal with that. You gotta keep knocking on
25:16
Speaker 1: the door. No no, no, no, no no, what you
25:18
Speaker 1: keep working hard, You're gonna get it. Yes, As I
25:20
Speaker 1: said before, there's something in the struggle. You gotta work.
25:24
Speaker 1: Rich people work. You gotta get out there and work
25:26
Speaker 1: for it, for it and your notice. Look at you.
25:29
Speaker 1: You work for many a year and just grow and
25:32
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it gets in your system.
25:34
Speaker 1: You don't know nothing to do but try to do
25:36
Speaker 1: better and at Sometimes you're not running for more money,
25:38
Speaker 1: you're just making money just because you're happy doing what
25:41
Speaker 1: you do. You read the phrase before, when you love
25:43
Speaker 1: what you do, you never have a job. I love
25:46
Speaker 1: what I do, and I love what I do, and
25:48
Speaker 1: I paid the money. I appreciate you, I thank you,
25:51
Speaker 1: I love you, and it's absolutely nothing you can do
25:53
Speaker 1: about it. Hey man, let's talk soon, and I eat

26:02
Speaker 1: know you gotta go with my dadda said once, life
26:04
Speaker 1: is like a crap sandwich. Okay. You told me to
26:06
Speaker 1: get all the education I can and make all of
26:09
Speaker 1: the bread I can because the more bread you have,
26:11
