We've been number one for so long and we guys

Steve Harvey Morning Show memories looking back.

Over here, when they told us that we wasn't gonna

we will make sure that you would never have a
career in radio. It is over for you. Yeah, that's
what they told me when I left LA in two

(00:55):
thousand and five. That's what they say.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Oh not they being the current company, the former Oh no, no, okay,
let's get clarity on that.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
You know, almost almost I was in discussions with Tom Joiner.
I almost signed with Tom Joiner, and we were going
to be the Twin Towers of radio, and he was
going to do mornings and I was going to do
afternoon drive. And the offer was made and I slept

(01:28):
on it and I woke up and I said, hey, man,
I'm not gonna do that. And so the guy was
working and said why not, Man, it's a pretty good offer.
I said yeah. And he was going to put me
on all the markets he was in, so I was
going to have a big show to begin with. I said, no, man,
I want to be relevant. I want to be significant.
It's nothing is more significant than morning drive radio. I said,

(01:50):
I'm morning drive guy. They said, WHOA, that's not going
to happen because you would have to be in competition.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
I said, well, really, I'm not gonna be in competition
with anybody. I'm just gonna get my own show. I
went to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Well, you're gonna be
in competent. No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm gonna do
the best I can do. I'm gonna compete against me.
I'm not gonna compete against anybody else. I've always been
that way. And so I went to New York and

(02:22):
started at WBLS one on seven five w BLS in
New York, and we met in Martha's Vineyards and it
was a productive meeting, but it didn't go well enough.
And so I called I heart, and I said, here's
the deal. You have this, and they have that, let's
join forces. And God gave that I did to me.

(02:46):
And so they met and they joined forces. And we
started with four cities. We started with Shreveport, YEP, Detroit, Tuscaloosa.
That we started with four cities. They said, if you
have twenty five cities in three years, we were considered
as a success. In three years, we have sixty cities.

(03:09):
M hm. So I guess that's a yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Maybe we went to work and now we would eight
nine million every morning.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Well, I mean, you know, we have a huge listening audience.
Monica has some interesting numbers that she sends to me
because you know, I don't really follow numbers just because
that's creative. Yeah, yeah, I don't. The numbers are what
they are. Is nothing you could do about them. You know.
We just do the best radio show. We're gonna make

(03:43):
some changes in year twenty five. Afterwards, we're gonna uh
have some surprises for you on the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

new stuff to bring to you after our birthday and
