Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Money Mondays where we talk about three topics. How to make money, how to invest money, and how to give some away to charity. We have someone that people spend tens of millions of dollars with over and over and over. And some individual clients spend tens of millions of dollars with this guy for years. So please give a warm round of applause to RD, nickname Wires Only.

Yes, sir. Thank you for having me, guys. Let's go. Let's go. How do you get into a business where you're... I was in there and talked to him. I was looking at a $4 million car and a $2 million car and...

Not one or two of them. The whole freaking showroom is a million dollars. It's like glass tables with engines that actually work. I can feel myself hyped up right now. I'm just being surrounded by like tens of millions of dollars in cars. Like, how did this get started? Walk us through the beginning. It was just, you know, it was just all about passion. We're sitting here in an RV motorhome. Yes. The reason we have an RV motorhome is for guys like you. We can show up at your gallery, show up at a celebrity or athlete's house or office.

and we can interview them right there in their parking lot. Tell us about the showroom here. What is this place? What's it called? How do people find it? Yeah, so wiresonly.com.

is the dealership website our coaching website is wiresonlyclub.com so if you are part of our program you can pull up here you can shoot content here you can network here you can hold events here and also you can see some of the craziest cars in the world this is the old Elroy Cadillac building this is where Elvis bought all of his Cadillacs so it has crazy car history it's right on Wilshire and Doheny right in the heart of Beverly Hills so it was amazing amazing location

So walking through, there's such high-end cars. You have so many options. How do you choose which cars you pick and choose to actually put in the showroom? That's tough. We have two locations. So we have a full customization center. We just finished a car for Bad Bunny, which was insane, which was a convertible Rolls-Royce. So we cut the top off of Rolls-Royce for him in three days in between the two Coachella performances. So we have some cars there and then we have some cars here. So we put the best ones here.

That's how we kind of choose what goes in here. Because each space is worth money, right? So you got to think like you got to put whatever's going inside like the 10,000 square feet is like each slot needs to be able to generate enough income for that particular space. I mean, that is probably one of the most highest quality car seats I've ever seen in my life. Thank you very much. I've heard of ones that it's like a limousine Cadillac with the blue seats. Yes. What is that? So that's a Becker Escalade.

that we just finished. It's a 2023 stretch Escalade with a 26 inch extension and a high roof. You know, those guys build cars for, you know, like Bill Gates and Bezos and all those executive style, like where it just looks normal from the outside, but then you get inside and it looks like an airplane. Yeah. So Becker Automotive did that one for us.

So when dealing with celebrities, a lot of the time they want things for free. They do sometimes, yes, 100%. How do you interact when it comes to, I mean, you're working with household name celebrities and the biggest on the planet, not some of the biggest on the planet. How do you interact with them when some people are trying to throw them things for free and then you're charging them $1.4 million or something?

Yeah, that's a good question. I've done, you know, I've watched and studied you guys. I'm huge fans. And you always talk about your network. Yes. You know, always surrounding yourself. You know, if you're around him, good deals and things are going to happen. You know, if you're around him, good things are going to happen. It's all about who you're around and investing in your network. And to get to where I am today is,

I probably spent $20 million in those kinds of deals. This person needs a car. So-and-so's landing from the airport. So-and-so wants a wrap. This person wants this or that. When we were coming up, like being in this game for over 15 years, we did a ton of that.

and it's great because it's good marketing some person may say hey i want to do this i'll throw you on the story or hey i'll do this for you know a post or we can become genuine have a good relationship and we just do it anyways because they become our friends

So it's all really marketing, you know, but now we don't have to do so much of it because we've you know We're established and we have a pretty good. Yeah, we have a pretty good name But we still do get those requests, you know all the time and our big boys You know like that we're super close with we look out for them too because they you know They always look out for us. We usually give like friends and family or someone that's super big give it to them at cost and

But, you know, probably 10 million bucks in freebies it took us to get here. You know, if you think about it over the years, just 15 year overnight success. Yeah. Yeah. It takes, you know, anything worth doing takes at least 10 years of blood, sweat and tears, as you guys know, because you guys have been at been at it for a long time. So, you know, it's really all about your network because you can maybe do something for your

you know, one client and they could introduce you to like, Jamie's a great example. When I met Jamie, he introduced me to, um, uh, with Chris Brown and this guy and that guy. And those, uh,

Chris, at the time, was buying 10, 13 cars in one shot. He would buy three Lambos at a time. Oh my God. At a time. At a time. He would have three of the two SVs, coupe and convertible, and a wide body...

Huracan or whatever, a wide body Aventador at once. He still has them to this day. That's his thing. He would have three Lambos. So for example, we would say we met someone like Jamie who has been instrumental in our career and our producing partner on our show and et cetera. And he says, oh, what do you do? You're into cars. Okay. Let me call my friend CB lives down the street. He really loves cars. So CB comes to Scottsdale. This is, you know, many years ago on tour and

They say, here, here's your pass. Go in. That's CB. Go talk to him. Go in. Hey, CB, how are you? I'm the car guy. I can help you with your car. Oh, yeah, that's great. I want to, you know, Bentayga SUV. I want to cut the top off this. I want three Lambos at one time. You do the custom Jeeps. I want 10 of them. He literally bought 10 in one shot. I gave them to all his people. Yeah.

So he bought 13 cars the first day I met him. No. Yes. Yes. Yes. Chris Brown bought 13 cars the first day you met him? Yes. And I'm talking some of them were... One of them was... And this was a long time ago. And one of them was close to a million bucks. And it wasn't... I mean, this guy would have 10, 12 car orders at a time. So meeting the people in the network who they can refer you to can turn into...

you know something crazy I was at Scott's house uh one time and uh Kim came by and she's like oh hey I like this car how much is it and she was like I was like I don't know I just drove here she was like yeah it's cool I'll take it she was like I really she was like I really love she was like I really love the orange it was a brand new ghost she was like cool I'll take it and then we had a Maybach sitting there also she was like yeah I'll take that too

And so these are people that you never know who you're going to be around that's really into cars or into your charity or into your business or whatever it may be. So that kind of network and relationships can turn into business that could be life-changing. Literally. Yeah. Talk to us about the TV show. The TV show was insane. So fun to watch. Insane. It took us about seven years to figure this out. People don't understand how hard it is to actually do a TV show. Yes.

even with the biggest guys in the world you're like i'm gonna get jimmy fox and best friend the biggest guys in the world as your right hand like call them for anything right it was still the hardest thing ever the hardest thing so it was funny because we were doing we did a deal with drake uh drake had a la ferrari a yellow la ferrari now obviously drake it's the biggest

He doesn't really sell his cars ever to anybody. He doesn't really drive them. He gets driven, but he has insane car collection. You know, it's the biggest superstar of all time. So he had a yellow LaFerrari. They made 499 of these. And I think they made two or three in this particular color. Three to five in this color. So I'm like, okay.

I know this guy doesn't drive the car car has a hundred miles so I'm like yo so I'm like there's one picture of him pulling out a nice guy in it but I've never seen him drive it again so I was like Fox I need a favor he's like yeah what's up RD what's up man I said

He's like, I was like, wait, right now? He's like, yeah, tomorrow, the next day. He's like, you know, he's got the residency at the Wynn. He's like, meet me at the airport. So we, I forget what story I'm telling, but we go to the airport. We're talking about, oh, the show. So we go to the airport.

The plane is running. I'm like, yo, this is crazy. I'm like, Fox, I just want you to ask him if I can buy the car. He's like, yeah. He's like, we're going to go pull up on him. So we get in the plane. Insane. We fly to Vegas. We walk into the wind. It's, you know, all the boys, they're all playing roulette. And we walk right in. And he's like, oh, man. He's like, he loves Jamie.

The whole win, you know, like where you come out of the tower suites has the whole thing shut down. It's just like all black shirts and diamonds and like no one is getting in. And I'm literally standing next to him while he's placing like 50, 100 grand a hand.

Jamie is chopping up with him and he's telling me the story and he's like, you know, I look up to Jamie so much I always watch how he interacts with crowds and in in his His fans and I learned how to interact. I love interacting with mine the same way and I love Jamie, you know He's the greatest of it on this is insane. So I'm listening to Drake Tell me the story and Fox they were chopping it up.

And he's like, okay, we're going to give you a deposit for 500K. I'm going to fly home, have the car inspected. When the car is done, you know, we'll wire the rest. It's all getting into the show, how we did the show. He sends a 500 and then Trump comes out and closes the country. Oh my God. COVID. Two years ago, right? Yeah. It says country shut down.

I'm like, now I'm trying to figure out the carrying costs for the car. March 2020. Yeah, March 2020. It's right when the deal went down. I'm like, man, how am I going to carry the car this much? And how much is it going to cost? And it's going to be brutal. The country's shut down. The world's coming to an end. I called Balvin's money manager. And I'm like, hey, man, I know you guys, they're in Medellin, Mexico.

Say yo, I need the balance on this car like ASAP. They go. No, we're out. We're not doing this deal. No Yeah, they said we're out. It's COVID. It's come the country shut down. We're done send the deposit back Yeah, they're like send the money back we're not backing out of the car I had all my eggs in this basket so I'm like man Yeah, yeah, it was like Three million bucks at the time Wow so I call Jose

And his boy, his boy that came out, Brian. And I said, yo, I appreciate the 500 grand. You know, it's going to help me get through COVID. You know, this shit is non-refundable. He said, what are you talking about? I said, well, you sent me the 500 grand. You got to send me the balance. They haven't sent the balance. And, you know, it's going to COVID. The country is shut down. He goes, man, send me my car. Hangs up. So now I'm panicking. Country is shut down. There's no one is moving around outside, especially here. I don't hear anything for two days from anybody.

I call Fox. I'm like, yo, Fox. He's like, oh man, he's like, everything's going to be okay. Don't, don't worry about it. We're going to figure it out. Don't trip. He's like, you got this big dog. I'm like, man, that guy, they give me the deposit. I haven't heard back from him. You know, they're in Columbia. You know, this is where he lives. I wake up two days later and the rest of the money's in the account. So I'm like, okay. So I'm like, okay, now I have to find a truck driver to take the car to Miami.

So I shipped the car to Miami. I called him like, yo, Jose, the car's in Miami. He's like, bro, I don't live in Miami. I told you I live in Medellin, Colombia. That's where I'm from. I said, bro, I said, listen, I said, I said, come on, man. There's no airplanes. Everything is shut down. It was already a mission to get, I had to get paid triple the price to get someone to drive to Miami with this, you know, three and a half million dollar car to get it there. And he goes, if you can't get it here, I don't want it.

So now I got to figure out how to get the car to Columbia during COVID. I'm like, yo, Jay Fox. He's like, nah, bro. He's like, you're on your own on this one. He goes, I don't know what to tell you, but you better call some shipping companies and figure it out. So we call them. They're like, yeah, it's, you know, five, six, 700 grand. I don't even remember how much.

to bring the car in. I buy a boat. I buy a boat. Yeah, I'm like... I'm like, man, this is... I'm like, man, this is crazy. And he goes, he goes, yeah, you gotta... He goes, you gotta figure it out. If you can't get it there, then I don't want it. So I'm like, okay. So I call Cartagena because that's where it has to go. Then it can go to Medellin. I hope I'm saying that correctly. So...

They're like, yeah, it's X amount of dollars. So I call him back and he's like, man, I'm not doing that. He's like, that's your responsibility. It's supposed to be in the deal. Long story short, I figure out how to get it done. I got to take the car to the port now and during COVID and we get it there and they're like, oh yeah, just drop it off.

They're like, we got to disconnect the battery and make sure there's no fuel in it. And I said, well, this is a hybrid and the battery is a couple hundred grand. It's a little bit different than just disconnecting it. Yeah. It's like, thank you. There's not like an extra set of tools to like just, you know, pop a Milau Ferrari battery.

So they're like, oh yeah, yeah, we got it. It's going auto. So the first, yeah. So the first, and this thing looks like a spaceship. So the first boat comes and they can't start it now because they got the battery disconnected. They can't get it into container. Now this guy's losing his mind. I'm like, man, Fox, the battery died. They can't get it started. The guys are only speaking Spanish. So I got my people talking to him in Spanish, figuring it all out. So they finally get in the boat and they get it to Cartagena.

Now when they get to Cartagena, they unload it out of the container and they can't start it in Colombia. So I'm like, yo, this is never ending. So I get my guys to figure out how to start it and they jump in and get it started and they put it on a truck with two 2x4s and they have to drive it to Medellin now. So they drive it from Cartagena to Medellin on a truck, basically on a truck that's like worth a grand max. You know, it's the only tow truck they have.

They get to his neighborhood, they unload it, and it won't fit over the speed bumps in the neighborhood because the car is too low. So he has to take all the speed bumps out, repave it, and re-put the speed bumps down in the neighborhood while I'm dealing with all of this stuff, and we finally get the car to him. He ends up, I think, driving it like once or twice. We sell it for him, and he sells it for a million-dollar profit more than what he paid. Oh, my God.

shipped the car back to Miami and now a guy in Miami has it. So Jamie's like, man, this is a show. He goes, this is insane. He goes, this is a show. We got to make this a show. We got to show what it takes to do these deals and how you do them because it's absolutely crazy. And that was the deal where he was like, forget it. This is a no brainer.

So one vehicle, you can make money multiple times. Absolutely. Right. Getting the car the first time, then you're going to make money again on the million dollars for the second time. That guy might call you in two years, but I can't want to sell this car. Yeah. And whether he sells it for profit or loss, you make money again, right? A hundred percent. Some people buy cars and they just leave them online and they're like, yeah, we'll drive them if it sells or appreciates. We try to help people buy stuff that goes up in value.

if you buy a cullinan rolls-royce suv we're going to tell you look you're going to lose money but it is a tax write-off because it weighs over a certain amount oh wait if there's a numbered car or a rare car that's going to go up in value then we tell them you know what to buy and how much they can make and what the whole time is so it's kind of like art that moves

But the show was crazy because Jamie goes, Jamie's like, yo, this is a show. He goes, this is my crew, Taylor and his whole film crew. He goes, go with them and they'll help you shoot your sizzle. And I'll look at it. But you go figure it out. Basically, like, here's the team. Like, let's see what you got. So he gives me the film crew and I didn't have a showroom then. So I called my friend that owns Morphe Makeup, Chris, who I would love to have on the spot because his story is insane.

biggest makeup manufacturer brush manufacturer in the world I think sold the company for five billion or something something insane they started him and his sister started in the garage so he's one of my one of my closest friends and clients so I called him I said yo I'm doing my show I need a place to shoot you know the garage set up with all the hypercars because I didn't have any of this set up here yet he's like yeah shoot it in my garage

So we go to Calabasas. He has this huge underground garage full of hypercars. And they sit me down in a chair behind the cars.

they're like okay let's let's go first phone call comes in while i'm sitting there's future he's talking about buying three rolls royce trucks at one time i'm like should we get this and they're like yeah keep rolling so i'm talking to him on facetime he buys three rolls trucks and two uruses all in one shop he's like i'm fine to australia i'm gonna put it on most of it on my credit card and i'll wire you the balance when i land so he gives me his black card he put like half of it on his card you know and then the rest he just sent the wire

So that's how the sizzle starts. And we start getting into all these crazy deals. So we go back. I give it to Jamie. I'm like, yo, check out the sizzle. We shot it. Tell me what you think. He's like, oh, man, it's perfect. Let's, you know, set up some meetings now. Let's put together. Now you need the deck. So put the deck together. So I put that together. Showed it to him. He's like, yeah, that's great. Set some pitch meetings. So I call his people. I'm like, hey, I need this and that. And they're like, yeah, what is this?

This guy's double Oscars, biggest movie star on the planet. Figure out these meetings on your own. I'm like, yeah, so we're calling all these people. I'm like, yeah, I have the show. Jamie's going to be on and be a part of it. They're like, is he going to be in on the meeting? I'm like, yeah, for sure. They're like, okay, great. What time do you want? They're like, we got you. So I called Jamie's people back. They're like, Jamie's not doing that. What are you doing? Yeah, like, what are you talking about? I was like, I just told him he was coming and all this stuff. And meanwhile, it's COVID.

So I'm like, oh man, I just told like everybody Jamie's gonna be in on the meetings and the meeting was at 9 a.m They're like are you are they're like are you dumb? You think Jamie's getting up at 9 a.m. To do a meeting with you about a seven and he drives. Yeah about a reality show Yeah, so I call Fox and like yo Fox He's like I got you

He's like, I got you. No problem. He's like, he's like, so now I'm like, I'm talking to all of these people. I'm like, yo, I talked to Fox. He said that the 9am pitch meeting is good. They're like, bro, are you dumb? This guy's not getting up at 9am for anybody. He gets up when he wants, but he, he usually works in the studio writing and you know, he stays up. He's a night owl.

So I'm like, man, the only way I can pull this off is if I go to his house. So I'm like, I'm just fucking, I'm going to do the Zoom. You need the meeting there? I'm going to do it on Zoom from his crib. Genius. So I called the chef. I'm like, yo, I need egg whites, wheat toast with jelly. I call security. I'm like, caramel macchiato, tall. Take it to his door. Make sure he's up. They're like, Fox.

Fox, I'm there like 7 a.m., nothing. Nobody. Nobody's up. I'm like, take the food up. Boom. Security, I'm like, hey, Flex, can you take the coffee up? He's like, yeah, R.D., I got you. Whatever you need. Meanwhile, I got this whole thing set up like this in the living room. Ready to go. Lights, cameras, computers. My whole team is there. So it's like 8.55. The meeting is at 9. Two chairs. One's empty. Yeah, one's empty. They're like, where's Fox? I'm like, he's coming, he's coming.

There's like 40 people on this call. No way. Yes. All the executives from the production company, all the executives from Discovery Channel. It's insane. Like packed. Like there's so many people you can't even see what's going on. It's meeting time. I'm like, yo, is it coming or what? They're like, bro, just do your meeting. They're looking at me like crazy. So I'm like, so, you know, I tell them who I am. I run through the pitch deck. I play the sizzle.

And I start telling him about the deals. I'm like, this is the deal we did with J Balvin and Drake. And, you know, there's some stuff we did with Jamie and all these clients. And we make the impossible possible, make all this crazy stuff happen. We wrap it up. They're like, yeah, it's dope. We'll let you know. We'll get back to you. I look over. Fox is standing there drinking the Starbucks the whole time. He's like, bro.

He was like, you're good at doing pitches. He was like, I'm going to bring you to my pitches. He was like, you got this. Damn. He was like, that's one of the best pitches I've ever seen. And he sits down. He goes, now let me tell you about RD. Boom, puts the Starbucks down. That's it. And he tells the story that I just told you guys, but his version of it. And they go, we'll buy it on the spot. Don't take it anywhere else. Sold. Sold.

So that was how we did the show. Wow. Yeah, that was how we did the show during COVID. But I was on pins and needles the whole time. Legend. But it was crazy, too, because during the show, we were like trying to get everyone to sign everything and do all this. You know, we have Tom Holland, Kim Kardashian, Floyd, you know, Jamie and all these people. And we had to get them releases and all this. And like it was it was like impossible.

i told fox i'm like yo fox like it's too hard to get these people to sign off on all this and like get their testing yeah and like get the real reactions and like i want to do this for real so we have him on the phone with all the executives and he's like look mike you're gonna have to let my guys shoot we're gonna have to get the signatures later so we shot everything on the strength

everything and then we got the I went and got all the releases you know later from all the talent and location releases and it was stressful because it was Kim Kardashian and like Tom Holland and it was like some big people Spider-Man yeah these people were not even like responding to Discovery Channel you know yeah those are our partners we love them but they're like

you know, they had a lot going on. So I got all the footage. I ran it by my people. I was like, Hey, what do you guys think? Can you work with me on this? They're like, yeah, well, you know, here's the lawyer. Let's get it signed. So I did location agreements. I did the talent agreements. I co-created the show with Jamie executive produced it, starred in it, did the casting, did it all. So it was insane. Our luxury assets.

A liability or some of them actually assets. Like, can you make money with luxury products? For sure. Fancy watches, artwork, cars, et cetera. If you buy the right stuff. As a customer, not as a dealer. No, yeah, yeah. As a customer, if you buy the right stuff, if it's numbered, if it's rare, if it has high collectability, if it's the right color, if it's the right material, it all depends on how many of them are made, what color they are, how rare they are in the market and the stats, you know?

Similar sports cards. Yeah, say yeah, I got Logan Paul wearing five million dollar I style Pokemon. Yeah me my friend Travis. We bought 20% of that. We own a million dollars of that five million dollar card that look Logan's out there wearing it at the WWE like Body slamming people wearing five million dollars because that's the rarest Pokemon card ever So it's similar sports cards. We have nine stores now cars and coffee with nine stores and the biggest thing people ask us is

Some of it they're buying for their kids. Some of them they're buying it for legacy. Like they're buying it for their kids because they want it to be forever or they're buying it for their kids because they want to build a relationship. And that's where they can actually go hang out and talk about football and baseball and basketball and F1 and things like that. I love the collectibles industry. I was just wondering like I see people buying $100,000 watches and $500,000 cars. Are they just wasting their money or how can they strategize? Well, they come to someone like us. We help them make the biggest investments of their lives. So if you have like...

The car that's outside, the red car, is 999 of those cars made. That's a numbered car. It's a super rare color. It's very limited. It's very hard to get. That's my personal car. The Countach in the front is one of 112. The Konigsegg is one of three in full carbon, 83 cars made for the world. So you just want to know how many are made, how collectible they are. It's kind of just like what you were talking about. So when you start to think about it, there's...

A lot of zillionaires in Dubai. There's a lot of zillionaires in Asia. There's a lot of zillionaires in London. There's a lot of zillionaires in Australia. There's definitely a lot of zillionaires in America and Canada. They're all fighting for the same 83 cars or the same 200 cars, the same 500 cars. How the heck does that happen?

You kind of just have to explain it to them and educate them on if they have one car, why they should have another car, how much it can go up over time. Good place to park the money. You know, with the banks, some of the banks collapsing and some of the crisis people are investing in cars because they can get the car in the title and it can go up over time. You know, some people pull out three, 4 million bucks and just buy cars and park them as, um,

How does a car company decide when there's 2,000 billionaires fighting for the same 88 cars? It's a process. It depends on how many of those cars you've had before, what your profile looks like. How many Ferraris you've bought before you can buy the next Ferrari. Correct. And they choose. So they can pick and choose who they want to work with. I've also heard people go buy a reservation on a car that's coming out in two years and then sell their spot.

Is that possible? That happens too. Crazy. Yeah, for sure. That happens too, that you can sell allocations and all kinds of stuff. You know, we, we, we try to just, you know, help people find whatever they want or we have it, you know, in stock cars, boats, planes, everything. Yeah. We're the dealer for cigarette boats, you know, out of, out of Miami. So we're the dealer for in California, West of the Mississippi for a cigarette boat. So the center console and race boats are,

and then we also sell airplanes as well. So we have wires only. Like private jets? Yeah, wires only aviation as well. You got a lot of clients for your private jets because I get asked about people buying jets so often. Do you ever do private jet chartering? 100%, yeah. It all goes hand in hand, the boats, the planes. Buying a plane, chartering a plane, buying a boat, selling a car. My biggest regret is not starting a private jet chartering company because I probably sent...

90 million dollars in clients to my friends that do chartering easy because I just don't I don't deal with obviously yeah I said I'm not I have like 18 brokers on my phone that I'll say private jet and I'll just text them. Yeah, here's the just find who has the best empty leg Yeah, and then I just group chat them with that person but then that person spends three million a year with them I think that's more than 90 million I probably said a couple hundred million

So if you're listening, private jet friends. Okay, last segment because we're going to have to just interview you again or hopefully become co-hosts with us on some other episodes. I would love to. On the charity side, why is it important for some of these celebrities, athletes, people that are listening that are making money, why should they do some charity personally or for their business or brand?

You know, it's super important. We work, we want to get involved with your guys stuff, you know, immediately. We work with one that we do with Jamie and Rodney, which is called My Friend's House downtown, which we feed the needy every Wednesday at like three o'clock, backpacks, water bottles, snacks. And we bring the in and out truck twice a year. So we've been doing that.

for a long time, I think for like five years now. And I'm also on the board for PAL, for Hollywood PAL, for the kids, for all of the inner city kids in Hollywood. So we buy all the computers, the Taekwondo Center, the soccer teams, basketball teams, and all of that. And I think it's very important because I've had Jamie, Rich the Kid, Uzi, and all of these guys help out with these foundations and charities.

And because they can make such a difference, even with just their presence. You know, I did a I did a call with with the kids from Powell and it was like 300 kids.

And I had Uzi just jump on the call. The kids, they lost their minds. So Sunday before Super Bowl, I got all of the same kids together and we went to our other location and I had AB come. So AB comes, I'm like, hey, I'm going to bring a bunch of kids. Can you sign the football? So Sunday morning before the game, AB came to my office and signed like a thousand footballs for the kids. And then we catered it and did the breakfast, let them sit in all the cars and just...

one kid being around him and you know having some positive influence and some hope and you know you're just giving them some some light it's just the little things and it can go such a long way so you know all these guys that we work with and were are around they really want to give back and they just you know you just got to show them where how and when yeah because they're all down to right that's the biggest thing that we try to do is make it easy to do charity make it easy this is our 10th year of doing the toy drive

Last year we broke the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest toy drive in history. It's incredible. This year we're going to try to do 10 cities if we can because it's our 10 year anniversary. But we do the back to school drive, toy drives, Thanksgiving food drives, homeless backpacks. I just think it's important for people to do it. 100%. Make it easy for them to do charity because they want to. It's not all about money.

The energy, the effort. Absolutely. Putting forth the effort is actually more important than money a lot of times. 100%. All right, guys. You're listening to The Money Monday. Sorry my voice is a bit raspy. I've been speaking everywhere. And this was important. I didn't want to cancel or postpone it because I really wanted to interview R.D.

We're going to have him back. Probably have him co-host with us. Have some fun with us because we're right here in LA. It's important. Have conversations with your friends, family, followers, staff, et cetera, about money. We grew up thinking it's rude to talk about money. It's rude to not talk about money. You got to have these conversations. We can help our society. Make sure to follow at wires only. Follow the real Tarzan. We will see you guys next Monday.
