So when was the first time you met Trump?
Yeah, I've met the guy numerous times.
Under what circumstance?
Well, the first time I met him was like in the late 80s at the Super Bowl in Miami.
Oh, wow.
And that was back before they had those boxes, you know, those fancy boxes.
Luxury boxes.
Yeah, yeah.
They didn't have those back then.
Really?
No.
So I'm sitting there, and I've been doing pretty good in 1988 and 85.
Yeah.
And people would come and ask me for my autograph because I was sitting in the audience, you know, I mean, on the benches.
And next to me was this guy and his wife, and they would then ask him for his.
And I looked at him and go, I don't mean to sound stupid, but maybe I am, but why are people asking you for your autograph?
And he goes, well, I'm Donald Trump.
And I go, yeah.
So what does that mean?
He goes, well, I'm a big builder in New York.
