Mm-hmm.

And, you know, you mentioned one earlier, stop calling everybody brother.

But that was an interesting meeting because I went over to an executive's office and they said, I was listening to the show because executives would have monitors on watching everything.

And the executive said to me,

Stop calling your guests brother.

And I said, what do you mean?

It's tonight.

I'm listening to the show and all I hear is brother this and brother that.

And that sounds like it's not inclusive to your larger audience.

And what they didn't do was pay attention to who I was talking to because I was calling Mark Wahlberg brother.

Um, he was with Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.

Yeah.

And so what they learned with me is, yeah, there are a lot of things I'm doing that maybe need to be ironed out or changed, but pay attention because I call everybody brother.

And some of this stuff.

If Mr. Rogers was on, you'd say, hey, brother.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Me and Mr. Rogers had identical jackets that we picked out for the show one night.
