Speaker 1 (00:01):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It is World Radio Day now. World Radio Day is
celebrated annually on February thirteenth to recognize radio as a powerful,
accessible medium that promotes diversity, connects communities, and provides essential information,
particularly in emergencies. All of us are blessed. We've been
doing radio for quite a while. We're blessed to do

(00:23):
what we love. And we have the best audience. I mean,
we really have a great audience, and we've had that
audience for quite some time. So we want to thank
you the Steve Harvey Nation. I mean really so, Steve,
you do a lot of things for men of many talents.
Why radio on this World Radio Day for you?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Well, radio has always been a great outlet for me.
It's still in our community a source of information. We've
also made it a source of motivation, and we highly
focus on the source of it being an outlet for
entertainment for you to kind of forget your problems a

(01:04):
little bit and just laugh a little bit. That's been
one of the keys laughters like free medicine. So radio
is also the theater of the mind. It's more challenging
to be funny on radio oftentimes than it is live
and in person because when you're live and in person,
you have the added element of visual site where you
can use facial expressions and body movements to make people laugh.

(01:27):
But on radio it is purely theater of the mind. Yes, sir,
you have got to through voice inflection, be able to
make people laugh. That's why radio is so tough. It's
hard for young guys to learn that a lot of
people have thought in the past because we kind of
broke trends and set trends on this show, and that

(01:49):
I was the first comedian to do radio full time
and make that conversion when I went on the radio
in Chicago behind Tom Joining Tom Jordan, who ended up
having a great relationship, but he had a guy to
work for him named David Kenner, and he put it
in a freedo call him in Chicago that there is

(02:11):
no way a comedian can beat out Tom joining a
fly jock because he's just a comedian. And that was
proven wrong, and after that they started looking for comedians
to do radio. The problem is most comedians failed at
radio because they didn't have the added advantage of voice,

(02:35):
of facial expression and being able to see physical movements.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
We, on the other hand.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Go ahead. Think of the three of us who are
comedians are doing radio. Junior is the youngest one, and
he's trying to master that art right there. He's getting
it together slowly, but surely. You know, Tommy pretty much
has a grip on it, because Tommy has acting as

(03:10):
a background, you know, characters and all of that.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
But how he started out though, up.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
He didn't have no discipline. I had a past.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Okay, I had passed all because see what your uncle.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
And Junior only Junior's voice is very high pitched, and
Junior has to learn that when he ain't on his
best days, when he come in here and he sound
like solemn or serious. It's kind of hard because we
know your real voice.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
You know, you so good at radio? This morning? You
a lot of people die, you know, well, God, well
just saying this morning, you told people without seeing you
how ugly I was, and I had one one person
that loved me. I am you just totally on that.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Well?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
He just all the lies I told and all the.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Lies I'm capable of telling. Just tell me why I
just lied?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Though?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
And this is on World Radio Day.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Don't don't run over here, Junior. You know, if you
don't want the full brunt of what it's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (04:32):

ugly people. If you're ugly good on radio, you want

from last year's census, it shows that the black population
in the US reached a record forty nine point two million. Okay.

populations including Utah, Arizona, and Minnesota, Texas, Florida, and Georgia

to make the total American populations three fifty four. I'm
pretty sure it's more than that. Now we were thirty
five million. Okay, now we're up to fifty.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, up to almost fifty you're right, But who is
this unter?

Speaker 3 (06:33):
