 I talked to him the day before he passed, I was so sad because he was telling me he had just had double knee surgery and he said, Mike, he said, I don't know how I'm holding up all this ass with these knees is killing me. And we had a conversation. He said, I want to go see my kids. One of them was down in Florida. He said, it's the holidays and they said they're just going to come up for Christmas. Yeah, we on Boss Talk TV. Shout out to Ihi the reason you see me. I want to go back to some. I want to go back to Tommy Ford, you know, his passing and just the time that, you know, I seen a special that they did on him and his relationship with God and just being a stand up guy. You seen him in the you couldn't really get a just of who he really was in the Martin show for me. After he passed away, you start seeing what they said about him and it shaped his character in a way that it was just showing how how he was always there for everybody. And it's just funny that you would say that he hooked you up with Carl, you know, because that's what I've seen in his character when they started to speak on him on that morning special and other specials I've seen where they brought him up. I talked to him the day before he passed. Wow. So sad because he was telling me he had just had double knee surgery. Wow. And he said, Mike, he said, I don't know how I'm holding up all this ass with these knees is killing me. And we had a conversation. He said, I want to go see my kids. Wow. That one of them was down in Florida. He said, he said, but it's the holidays and they don't want. They said they just going to come up for Christmas. Man. And then I got that. I seen the news the next day and I was like, there's no way I just talk to this dude. Well, so he didn't didn't didn't seem like it is. He seemed fine. We were laughing on the phone. We were having a good time. And next thing you know, I'm like, that cannot be true. Wait a minute. So you say in a day before the day before, didn't they say what he passed from blood clots, blood clots, but the day before. And that's the same thing. I think heavy D passed from when he was on the airplane. But a day before you speak to Tom before it. And the next thing you know, he's passed away. And that's the we, you know, running spins. Come on, one day you hear the next day you're gone. You know, you can't take life for granted. No, no. And you got to understand that time is but a vapor. Yes. So you got to you got to enjoy life while you got an opportunity. But Tom, he definitely was a special guy. Special guy. And I enjoyed the heck out of him. Yeah, he was the first guy to ever say to another guy, I love you, man, that I knew of. Yeah. He would say that again. He was the first guy to do what? Say I love you. To another guy. To another guy. He said, Mike, I love you. Wow. In the conversation. That's how you ended every conversation. I was like, I love you too, bro. You know, you know, it's got to be kind of like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but now what you got used to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now I do it with everybody. Me and Malik, hey, bro, I love you, man. Just checking on. You want to see how you doing in memory? Tell me for what? Yeah, yeah, I do that with everybody, man. Because we don't live long enough, you know, to we get so caught up in our own world. Yeah. And think we think this, this is macho. This ain't macho. This is this is corny. This ain't corny. I call my friends sometimes, hey, man, I'm doing a wellness check. Come on, tell me how you doing financially, mentally and physically. It's just like, even with what you said about that situation, when you think about, you know, when you said that, you know, the kids will come for the holidays. It just makes me feel like, you know, stop putting off things for tomorrow. You don't know tomorrow is going to ever come. And we interviewed Columbus Short and he was talking about a passing of Twitch and how people, you know, need to be available for their friends for people that they know, because you don't know what another person is going through. He hits you like that. You're not thinking about family. You're not thinking about anything. That's why I tell people all the time, if you can talk to somebody before you make a rash decision, talk to somebody. Well, listen, when you have now as a black executive producer, how do you go from being the DJ to being the executive producer of Allen the show and the host? Huh? So you're so you're already there and he's such a good he was such. He is a good man. Right. Good family man. Yeah. So many people love them. So many. Yeah. And even although they might not even tell you their business, but it's good for you to just do that wellness check, call people, check in no matter how busy you say you are. That's one thing I hate when people sell me or I was busy. I bet you the right caller, right person came along. You would drop everything you're doing for that moment in time because you don't want to live this life to be like I wish I could because he even told us about a story about what's a gentleman name. Something Lee that passed away previously. Babe, I'm a jet Lee. Jet. Yeah. He's also another actor. He said when he was younger and there were really good friends and he was calling Columbus like back to back to back. But Columbus was going through something himself and he was like, man, I'll call him back. I don't even answer it. The next day found out he had died. So he's like, man, if Twitch had just called me after that point, he never did that again. If his phone rings, he's going to answer it because he don't know what that person might need. I used to have this thing like I'm like, why am I the only person calling everybody every time? I used to feel that way. Now I don't. I'm like, I'm calling my friends. I'm talking to him. I'm speaking to him. I don't care, you know what I mean? If I'm going to be the one that's calling, then it's just going to be me. But I'm going to check on my friends because if I talk to you enough, if I spend time with you enough, I'll know when you're going through something. I'll know when you off. Me and my best friend, I called him yesterday. They say, man, you was in my spirit. I just want to check on you. He get all in this feeling. What were you doing? Wishing something bad on me? What's what you mean? I said, whoa, whoa, whoa. I said, listen, I just said it just had some. But I don't know why you call. I don't know what that is. I said, well, you know what? Maybe you're on something right now. I'm going to give you a minute. I'm going to call you back. But that has nothing to do with me. I did what my heart said to do. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes we think, OK, well, then I shouldn't do that because this is the last response I got. No, God places stuff in your heart for a reason. And then you should act on that reason.
