It's always been about the people. It's 92 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: always recognizing the regular people because you know, we get 93 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: so we get become like unknown, we can when we 94 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: get burdened, like we're not even delivering a contributing And 95 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: that's why I was telling you about to take care 96 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: of you people, because what we didn't know, you know, 97 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: Steve Harvey now didn't know at the time, was that well, 98 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, I started this in Houston, Texas in nineties seven, 99 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: just says I was a sidekick on the radio show. 100 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: And then what happened when Steve came we got the 101 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: radio gig in l A.

And if 660 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: people don't think certain things can happen again. Like I 661 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: tell people all the time, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, 662 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: theory of theorists or whatever. I said.
