1 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: Guys. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 2: It is World Radio Day now. World Radio Day is 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 2: celebrated annually on February thirteenth to recognize radio as a powerful, 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 2: accessible medium that promotes diversity, connects communities, and provides essential information, 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 2: particularly in emergencies. All of us are blessed. We've been 6 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 2: doing radio for quite a while. We're blessed to do 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: what we love. And we have the best audience. I mean, 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 2: we really have a great audience, and we've had that 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: audience for quite some time. So we want to thank 10 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: you the Steve Harvey Nation. I mean really so, Steve, 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: you do a lot of things for men of many talents. 12 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: Why radio on this World Radio Day for you? 13 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 3: Well, radio has always been a great outlet for me. 14 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 3: It's still in our community a source of information. We've 15 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 3: also made it a source of motivation, and we highly 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 3: focus on the source of it being an outlet for 17 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 3: entertainment for you to kind of forget your problems a 18 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 3: little bit and just laugh a little bit. That's been 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 3: one of the keys laughters like free medicine. So radio 20 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 3: is also the theater of the mind. It's more challenging 21 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 3: to be funny on radio oftentimes than it is live 22 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 3: and in person because when you're live and in person, 23 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 3: you have the added element of visual site where you 24 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: can use facial expressions and body movements to make people laugh. 25 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 3: But on radio it is purely theater of the mind. Yes, sir, 26 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 3: you have got to through voice inflection, be able to 27 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 3: make people laugh. That's why radio is so tough. It's 28 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 3: hard for young guys to learn that a lot of 29 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 3: people have thought in the past because we kind of 30 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 3: broke trends and set trends on this show, and that 31 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 3: I was the first comedian to do radio full time 32 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: and make that conversion when I went on the radio 33 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: in Chicago behind Tom Joining Tom Jordan, who ended up 34 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: having a great relationship, but he had a guy to 35 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 3: work for him named David Kenner, and he put it 36 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 3: in a freedo call him in Chicago that there is 37 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 3: no way a comedian can beat out Tom joining a 38 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 3: fly jock because he's just a comedian. And that was 39 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 3: proven wrong, and after that they started looking for comedians 40 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 3: to do radio. The problem is most comedians failed at 41 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: radio because they didn't have the added advantage of voice, 42 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 3: of facial expression and being able to see physical movements. 43 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: We, on the other hand. 44 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 3: Go ahead. Think of the three of us who are 45 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 3: comedians are doing radio. Junior is the youngest one, and 46 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 3: he's trying to master that art right there. He's getting 47 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 3: it together slowly, but surely. You know, Tommy pretty much 48 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: has a grip on it, because Tommy has acting as 49 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 3: a background, you know, characters and all of that. 50 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: But how he started out though, up. 51 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 3: He didn't have no discipline. I had a past. 52 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 2: Okay, I had passed all because see what your uncle. 53 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: And Junior only Junior's voice is very high pitched, and 54 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: Junior has to learn that when he ain't on his 55 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: best days, when he come in here and he sound 56 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 3: like solemn or serious.
