Yeah, rookie year. So as im riding home, a uhaul place that id never seen before just popped out of nowhere. Ah [ laughter ] so we pull up to the uhaul place and get about four uhaul trucks. And we just go to toys r us and we just wiped toys r us out. Next day we drop these toys off. Ive been with marine toys for tots, and toys r us for about nine, ten years and [ cheers and applause ] its christmas is supposed to be a day of joy and fun. And its an astonishing stat that really saddens me. 15. 5 million kids will wake up on christmas without one single toy. I actually kind of know how that feels. I dont want any other kids to feel like that. So we urge people to donate toys. Old toys. Donate money and, you know, we want to try to get rid of that number. Seth and just to prove exactly the work youre doing [ cheers and applause ] this is you this is you at toys r us with the receipt of the toys that you bought here in atlanta. And that is to be a shaq length receipt thats a lot of toys right there. A lot of toys. Seth i also want to talk to you one of the things we talk about when youre here, is your many business ventures. And i think one day youre going to be in the business hall of fame. Because you have been really smart ever since throughout your career and since you finished. How do you pick the brands that you decide youre going to go into business with . Well, i have to really like the brand. I always tell the story that wheaties wanted me to be on the cover on the box of wheaties. And i was like i dont know what that tastes like. I cant do it. [ laughter ] but if you call frosted flakes, me and tony will look good on the cover. [ laughter ] so frosted flakes turned me down. [ cheers and applause ] but i was on the cover of 13. 5 million boxes of fruit loops last year. Seth you were, you did fruit loops . Yes i did. Seth there you go. Congratulations. It was awesome. But, so you know i have to be i have to like the product. Icy hot really works. Seth icy hot really works. One time i had a thigh injury, and i rubbed it on my thigh. And it got up to the man area and then, really hot. [ laughter ] really hot. So when they came along i was like, you know what, icy hot works. Seth all right. [ laughter ] yeah, im in. Seth and now with your tnt family, with your nba tnt family. Is it true that you will gift to them products that you endorse . Of course. Seth so if those guys, barkley is he going to get icy hot this year . Yeah. Hes gonna get icy hot. Hes gonna get some krispy kreme, thats hit favorite meal anyway. [ laughter ] hes gonna get some shaq watches, you know get some shaq shoes. Shaq everything. Seth now, this to me is mind blowing. You got involved very early with google. Yes. Seth as an investor in google. How did that come about . I was sitting at a restaurant one day. And a guy was, you know, talking. Asked me if i wanted to invest in something, and talking about search engines, and the way of the future. And i was like, yeah, ill do it. [ laughter ] and then funny thing is, i forgot all about it.
