 They did, I think Joe Tory, they did Chris Thomas and they wasn't getting successful crowds in there and so they was going to shut it down and Steve Harvey was the next person up. So Steve Harvey came in and they didn't tell him that they was going to shut it down and Steve said, no, no, no man, don't don't shut it down. Don't no, no, no, give me. So give me on the radio. He said, get me on the radio. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one. One on one. So let's go back a little bit. I want to go back to you working with Steve Harvey at Vuku Lounge. Vuku Ray. Vuku Ray, I want I want to hear about that part, you know, like, how was it working with Steve in these club? Not only Steve, but whoever else? Well, there'll be was it Nanette Lee or anybody who came through there? What was it like? What was that chemistry like? It was hot, man. That's what I want to talk about. Vuku Ray was hot. We had Dallas Cowboys coming in there. We had celebrities coming in there. People came to that area because it was really hot and Steve, I mean, Steve was the force behind it because what Steve did, what happened when he started the comedy view, I mean, the Vuku Ray, when they started it, they did, I think, Joe Tory, they did Chris Thomas and they weren't getting successful crowds in there and so they was going to shut it down and Steve Harvey was the next person up. So Steve Harvey came in and they didn't tell him that they was going to shut it down and Steve said, no, no, no, man, don't don't shut it down. No, no, no, no, give me, so give me on the radio. He said, get me on the radio and they hooked up with Willis Johnson, KKDA and Steve Harvey going on that radio. Bam, that's that play started filling up. Wow. Filling up and then Steve started bringing in some the top comedians, DL Hughley, AJ Jamal, Bernie Mack. He started bringing him, he started bringing, bringing them in, bringing them in. That place was rocking, rocking. It's rocked from 92. I know from 92 till he left in November. What about Bernie Mack? You brought his name on a big Bernie Mack fan as well and R.I.P. to Bernie Mack. Like, how was it? Did you get to meet and talk with Bernie Mack? Yeah, talk with Bernie Mack. Okay. What was that conversation like? Not much. I mean, you know, he had very little words to say, but, you know, he was still developing. Yeah, at that time, at that time himself, you know, uh, uh, you know, but I didn't talk, I mean, I wasn't like a buddy, buddy. Yeah, yeah, just passing or standing around conversation. Yeah, but, you know, he was still like everybody, you know, like everybody else. What did you think when you've seen how his career, because I want to talk about him for a second, how his career blemished, you know, after, I mean, you know, how it blew up after that. After what? After, you know, after all the years and you start seeing him on TV, you start, because he passed away. Now I just want to know how, how you thought, what you thought about it. Well, you know, to make it big, you got to have a, you got to have an organization around you. Yeah, of course. You got to have a manager's talent, you know, there's a lot of deals that's made that, you know, to get you where you need to get to and a lot of relationships that you have with other people. Uh, but Bernie Manning just had, he had that flair, you know, where he just, you know, kept on grinding, kept on grinding, kept on grinding, you know, but you know, he, uh, Bernie Mac was on Def Jam twice. Thank you, Goddammit. I know the first thing you say, that's a black motherfucker that came out here. Okay. He was at the first time, he was just, just regular. Then the second time, when that person got booed and he had to go out there and he did, I ain't scared of you mother. I ain't scared of you motherfuckers. I'm going to tell you something straight off, the motherfucking press. When he did that, that phrase right there, parallel, put him up there. That's what put him, that phrase, that attitude, see, because it's not written with material, it's your confidence, your swagger, your style. Yeah. All of that plays, uh, plays a part into it. And he did, when he did that, that paralleled him right there. Wow. And so, and that took him to where he needed to be to get this notice. Yeah, it took him to where he wanted to be. And then when the Kings of Comedy pulled, they put all that together, when they put that together, then, you know, Bernie Mack was the strongest, well, well, say it, say he really closed, but when they edited it, they made it Bernie Mack, they liked to close it because they had the high pitch on it. But, but, you know, but Bernie Mack was, was a, was a force. Yeah, Bernie Mack was, he was a force. Steve being at that club and then leaving and, you know, he blew up, you went with him finally like you wanted to? I went, see, the thing was Steve, Steve was very helpful to me. Um, I got to give him, he was very helpful. Yeah, he had some good conversations and stuff. He was very, I didn't, I didn't talk to him either. I talked, I mean, I'm a loner, man. So you didn't really talk with him? Well, I'm gonna tell you the reason why I don't really, uh, I don't say get along with other comedians or get along people. All my life has always been a, I've been a sidekick to people. All my life has been like with my brother. Okay. If things, we did the party and thing, you know, so I was riding off of his thing when I was in college. I was a guy who's a musician who did, I was riding off his thing when I was in elementary school. It was a guy named Keith who was a fast track star. I was hanging, but when I started saying something or get their character that I didn't like, it didn't remind, then I'm shunned. You get what I'm saying? So I'm, I'm shunned. So my thing was I got to be my own self man and stand alone where they take me a hundred years or two years or whatever it is. I've got to be my own self man.
