*Rich Paul was a guest on SiriusXM’s The Clay Cane Show, where he discussed his new memoir, Lucky Me, and his career as a sports agent, among other topics.

When asked whether it’s true that white athletes don’t trust black agents, Paul confirmed that has been his experience.

“That’s accurate, yeah. …It’s not international players because international players actually have a different outlook on it…. But if you grew up in, you know, Indiana or Georgia or, you know, or Oklahoma, or even Ohio for that matter. Yeah, no.”

When the host, Clay Cane, pointed out how wild that is considering his successful career, Paul responded, “You would think it’d be a line down the street, but it’s not. Yeah.”

Cane also joked about whether Paul’s longtime partner, Adele, ever calls him and just says, “Hello, it’s me,” with Paul jokingly saying she does not.
