19
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: But the man actually.

20
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: Picked up the phone over the weekend and he reached

21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: out on a personal note to engage about in a

22
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: conversation about how to help kids and their families who

23
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: are going through tough stuff. And I know this wasn't

24
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: part of the on air stuff, and Luda reached out

25
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: and asked some questions about it, and I know over

26
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: the years he's been extremely generous and supportive. They're in

27
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta and around the country and with our foundation, the

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: RN Secret Foundation as well. But I just want to

29
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: know the kind of heart that this guy who's busy has.

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: He really wanted to drill down on organizations where he

31
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: can have an impact and move the needle for families

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: and kids who are going through tough stuff in the hospital.

33
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: And so, Ludacris, big hugs to you. I know the

34
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 1: kind of dude you are, and I've always I've always

Speaker 2: Doors right there.

52
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 3: Sometimes it is what I need to do for a

53
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 3: peace of mind. And I'm hosting the iHeart, and believe

54

66
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,639

69
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: to be on stage with greats.

70
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,720

72
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: on Kiss. Speaking of the halftime show, give us an

73
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: idea of what it's like to be a performer in that,

74
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean, what does it feel like?

75
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: What's the night before? Like, what's the nerve like?

76
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 3: It's definitely nerves. I was just telling somebody, you know,

77
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: when you stop getting nervous, that means you don't care.

78
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: So we were definitely prepared, though we had rehearsed the

79
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: whole week before. I was nervous for my brother usher Man,

80
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: just for him to be on roller skates and be

81
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: doing as much as it did within that twelve to

82
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes. And I tapped him like within sixty seconds

83
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: of us going out there, and he was just smiling

84
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: like he was ready. He was so prepared. I'm like,

85
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: how the hell am I nervous? And he's not nervous,

86
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: So it just made me feel even better. And we

87
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: just went out there and did what we had to do,

88
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: not knowing that it was going to be the most

89
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: watched super Bowl of all time. Man, so thank everybody

90
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: for watching Luda.

91
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: After you finished, What are the first few things you

92
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: do or after you leave the stadium?

93
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: How do you decompress?

94
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: Man? You're decompressed by thinking the man above and just man,

95
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: just being in just being in a state of of

96
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: just love. And you know, you get backstage and you

97
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 3: slapping five with everybody and hugging everybody because it was

98
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: a team effort, that's really what it was, and there

99
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: was so many people involved. So just to go back

100
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 3: there and just know that all the hard work came

101
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 3: to fruition and we did exactly what needed to be

102
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 3: done and then some that's what brings joy to your life.

103
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 3: But you know, to answer your question, is just being

104
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 3: in a state of.

105
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: Gratitude ludicrous with us the most recognizable speaking voice in

106
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: all of America?

107
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that.

108
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: Up you don't count yourself out of that.

109
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: How dare you when you like, do you even have

110
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: to say hey is Luda?

111
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: When you call people?

112
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: No, but you know what you're saying. Sometimes I go

113
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: to a drive through and they obviously know who the

114
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: hell I am before I get the windows. Very bad signature.

115
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: It's a signature sound.

116
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: Easton is in studio with a couple quick maybe just

117
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,800

124
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 2: But they're all good. So what's your more question for Luda.
