all this diddy stuff going on man what do you i'm sure glad that i didn't hang
out with him
right you never got into you never were in his universe i've met him right but
never went out
right um and actually back in 2003 um he reached out to me to the mavs and
wanted to design a
uniform for us and i never met him we did it all via email and so he had some
of his designers get
in touch with me and they put together some and it was a cool looking uniform
right yeah um we
used it for a couple years but that was the extent of my connection to diddy i
never hung out or did
anything and not and you know i hung out enough in la but i never really heard
stories about the
parties or anything like that that was my scene yeah that's kind of yeah i
would just hear stuff
sometimes like i would hear certain things but it was never anything like oh
this is exactly what's
going on right i mean you just heard somebody would say something how do you
keep that quiet for so long
you know all those videos it's not like people didn't like i don't care if you
take people's
phones right someone's sneaking in the phone yeah shit like that's happening
yeah it's amazing that
if they say all the things are true that he was able to just do that for so
long you know what
what is a level like is it scary when people get to a level of wealth that they
can kind of have
anything like what is some of that i don't look at it that way right i'm not
saying you do no no i
hear i'm just curious about yeah like what what are the options right right
like if you're rich as
fuck what can you do and get away with right um i don't hang out with people
like that right i always
looked at it that like my high school buddies are still my high school buddies
right my the guys you
know my rugby teammates in indiana my indiana buddies those are my friends the
guys i live six guys in a
three-bedroom apartment when i moved to dallas those are my friends right so it's
not like okay i'm
getting the butlers i'm getting the chauffeur and look at me right and i came
by myself i don't give a shit
about that yeah no you seem yeah yeah i was kind of wondering i was like how
will he show up will a
stork drop him off yeah right you know like how's he yeah but but that doesn't
mean it hasn't crossed
my mind right yeah it's just like i you have to be in order to do shit like
like diddy or anybody like
that you have to be so paranoid right you have to try to think of every base to
cover right and you know
now part of me wishes i'd done because there's too many pictures of me out
drunk with my friends and
shit like that right yeah but um i just i just don't like to live paranoid
right i just i mean i love
having a lot of money it's a whole lot better to be rich than it is to be broke
but i was happy when
i was poor i just was happier when i was rich and so i don't get that whole
thing of you know
like just be protective and like play the rich game right that's just not my
yeah yeah that's kind of it
i think play the rich game like but do you like do you see people like do you
ever like
because that's the thing like people get so much money and then they get power
too or some of them
get one or the other maybe both but then like how does that infect people do
you see that that could
that that infects some people like you ever witnessed it yeah oh for sure right
so like people who think
because they're rich they're smarter right that um they have more privilege
right they get away with
whatever they want yeah particularly in business right so if you talk to
somebody that may be richer
than me right who will say shit that's just crazy right and think okay because
i said it that's what's
up right that that's that's it's right right or more likely though in my
experiences like i'll get
invited to these um parties right that are really nice house and stuff oh yeah
right but there'll be
like 50 servants right five people to answer the door six people that just
specialize in toast
right just ridiculous shit right and although i'm like how do you live like
this you know because it's
bad enough like i have too big a house um and so you have to have people there
to clean it and stuff
like that and there's no privacy just with that and there's people that'll have
like
10 people in the house at all times yeah and i i don't see how they live right
so for some people
maybe it's like showing off to me it's just like why would you live that way
right i'm happy to have
all this money because i can live the way i want as opposed to live the way
somebody thinks i should
yeah and i just get the sense to your point that some people get to that level
and it's like okay this
is what i'm supposed to do right i'm supposed to have this type of car i'm
supposed to have this many
people working for me at the house i'm supposed to have this type of course you
know china or whatever
toilet yeah whatever that is right but i am going to say one of the things i
got i got a heated toilet
seat yeah best thing ever really you never had one dude i remember when i first
got a clean lady
to come once a week i helped her like the first month i felt horrible yeah you
got to get a heated
toilet seat that's like if i if my yeah i don't want my butt to getting used to
too many fancy
things i'm just telling you i'm just telling you right that's the one huh that
oh i can almost
imagine because i go from you know when you travel right you leave home and you're
comfortable
yeah and i went where i'm staying now right no heated toilet seat first thing i
know is you sit
down in the morning and you're like fuck you're like this could be better it
could be better right
yeah i'm paying all this for this room and my butt's cold oh dude i remember
first night i stayed in a
hotel room and it was like six hundred dollars or something and i was afraid to
even go to sleep i was
like if i sleep i'm wasting like 240 dollars dude oh my goodness so i just kept
staying up as much as i
could it's i still spent a little money uh wasted some of the money sleeping
but it was nice over
there um yeah i just i think it's interesting when people get to love like you
would see it sometimes
with the romans or something i don't know you would see but you would hear
about it with the romans
where like they got to levels of um wealth and power that they started that it
veers into like a lot
of sexual like i don't know if proclivities is the word is that a word yeah
like what was it
what does that mean proclivities yeah no you got it right so like caligula
right i saw the movie
caligula was caligula yeah that was the movie where it was yeah with all the
sex and everything
where i hadn't seen everybody was your concubine right male women doesn't
matter right yeah everybody
was just fucking everything because they could yeah i think that's something my
wife's not going
for that shit yeah there weren't a lot yeah there weren't a lot of once you put
a wife in there
things it's over yeah proclivities a tendency to choose or do something
regularly a tendency to
choose or do something regularly an inclination of predisposition towards a
particular thing
so oh so it might activate proclivities in you for something for yeah no like
with the romans yeah
their proclivities were to fuck around and have fun right and it would turn i
think but a lot of
people they do so much like straight activity then it gets into gay or all
right you know what i'm
saying like no oh yeah and i don't know what i'm saying either but i think that's
something i wonder
that's just what i'm asking i guess do you like i wonder if that's something
that happens when people
get so much money and power that they're just their ban or their what they just
wanted they've already
had as much of like regular sound i wonder if it starts to build like what can
i do next right what
can i do what can i get yes right what can i get what else is possible yeah
like not so much with
sex right because you're going to get fucked over by somebody at some point
right well can you imagine
having to keep all of the like trying to just even even if you ever like sent
us like i've been in a
i've cheated in relationships that's hard enough you know just knowing like
what's next right yeah
or just knowing like i have to make sure we never go in this area or what if
this girl like that one
thing alone i can't imagine the level of like paranoia yeah you just i mean is
it worth it yeah but i mean
look i'm not going to say that forget not sex necessarily but just like going
out and trying new
things right like i bought a plane right i mean because it's like that to me
was the coolest thing
after toilet seats right to like being able to just pop on a plane right oh
that's a dream oh when
i sold my first company i bought a lifetime pass on american airlines so
literally i was 29 and i was
like i had this card where i could just go to any airport that had american
airlines just show up
me and somebody else and wherever they were flying they had to put me on a
plane really it was insane
yeah so if that's like proclivities to go try different stuff that's your
version yeah that's
me right yeah me because look i mean i'm the luckiest in the world and i don't
want to let it pass right
you know i want to take advantage of the time i got but more now it's more
family right as i've
gotten older my kids have gotten older it's more like my kids are 15 18 and 21
and so it's like let's
spend more time with them because that's the most valuable thing to me but when
i was younger before i got
married it was like let's go go go go go right travel party let's see who could
throw the biggest parties
right who can buy the biggest bottle of champagne you know just rent a club who
can run up the biggest bill
right yeah i i was doing that yeah yeah but but yeah i think i think that that's
what i think some
people like if you get so like some people get so powerful or like there's a
lot of gay folks out
there i think that they're they only veer into that or change get into
different sexual like
things that are outside of what would be normal for them maybe that because
they get so much power
you know like the romans did it like you know they say that they did it or
there's people like financial
gays power gays there's like i haven't heard that before oh really no financial
gays and power oh yeah
no they get so rich they can afford to just be gay for anything they want yeah
or like blind gays
there's even like if you want to push limits right right pushing limits if you
think money can buy you
anything right right and you want to push the limits and think okay i got money
that gives me power so i
can do whatever i want that's just going to backfire so hard because if you're
not like real the people
that are you know you're messing with right they ain't going to be real either
that's just going to be a
disaster yeah that's what i'm thinking about with the diddy thing i think it's
just like
at a level of that you can have anything that you get this power it's just kind
of i mean it's sad
and it's scary to see you know i think that's some of the crazy yeah you kind
of wonder like
when did it click when did it like fall over the cliff right when it went from
okay let's hang and
have some fun have a good party to when it's like weird yeah like i'm taking
videos of everybody and
this and that um yeah do you think there'll be other people that will come out
about this or do you
think a lot of that's like myth like internet mythology i have no idea yeah i
really don't yeah
yeah um yeah sorry it's just like something that's been on kind of the topic of
news yeah for sure
no it's an interesting subject right yeah because you wonder like and i wonder
because i mean i've
met the guy and i've seen him one time too but it's just like how does he get
that far yeah you
know and and that kind of stuff's addictive too though once you do one crazy
thing then that becomes
especially if you're trying to up yourself right you know because i mean you've
gone out drinking
i've gone out drinking with buddies right i'll have another shot right i have
another have another have
another and that's what guys do right but if it goes to the wrong direction it
could backfire and like
it has and the paranoia of having to keep every oh that would be a nightmare
man i'm i feel lucky i'm
not living that way yeah but you know to me like the telltale sign is if i can
hurt people
right he hit women right he dragged that one lady down the hall and yeah that
tells you he's
up somewhere yeah right i mean it's one thing to want to party right it's
another thing like okay i'm
throwing a big party right but it's a whole nother thing to physically abuse
people that's just like
yeah that's just yeah it's like how do you not have your own awareness at that
point but then i think
things get you know when you get power and you get that much ability your own
sense of self can
things can probably get skewed pretty easy yeah something's fucked up obviously
yeah
