  Speaker 1: you guys for listening as always. Congratulations again Steve on
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: your forty years awesome. That's crazy. I would like to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: my close remarks is just a letter just about thankfulness
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and gratitude. First of all, to a young kid that
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: works for me out in La named Jason. Do I
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: know his last name? Of course, not no idea what
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: his last name is. Okay, okay, But he's so talented
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: with videos and editing and cutting and putting together social
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: media content. My team put together him and Chris Stelle
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: put together a tribute to my anniversary, which was October eighth,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five. October eighth, nineteen eighty five, I walked
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: into Hilarities Comedy Club. I won fifty dollars, went to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: work the next day, October ninth, and quit my job
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and made the announcement to my family and friends. I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: was gonna go be a stand up comedian. I had
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: complete and other pushback. Absolutely no one agreed with me.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Two people agreed with me. The most important was my father.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: My father said, boy, if you think you can make it,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: gone get out there and get the scuffling. That was
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: his exact quote. Slick Harvey said, gone, and get out
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: there and get discoffling, because if I could have done
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: my life over, I'd have done something like that. You
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: only live once. Gone, take a crack at it. My
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: mother disagreed. You got a family, you got them kids,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you got a job. Keep making that check. Take care
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of your family. Only other person supported me was his
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: brother from Cleveland named Russell Middlebrooks. Russell said, yeah, go
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: for it, man, You funny it hell to me. Then
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: my other friend said, well, he gonna need more than
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you to think he funny if he gonna make it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: So that was my entry level forty years ago. By
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the grace of God, I made it. Now I was
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: looking at this montage they've created for me that's starting
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to go around a lot of people. Kirk Franklin texted
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: me yesterday and said number forty goat. He said, thanks, uncle,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So it's people are starting to see this montage. But
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I was sitting there and the montage made me cry
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: because I forgot so much of this stuff. Because a
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: lot of this stuff was long before phone cameras existed.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You know, people just found footage man of me at
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the improv me my first night on showtime at the Apollo.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: That was my very first time. That was the eye joke.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: All of that, everything stemed from so many things, and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I was just looking. But I thought about what made
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: me emotional was see, I know the backstory behind all
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: those pictures that kept coming up. I know exactly where
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I was at that particular moment, and a lot of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: those moments I was having on stage. It was some
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: dog stuff going on in my life behind the scenes
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: that nobody knew about. It was some life changing decisions
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that I had to make behind the scenes that nobody
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: knew nothing about. It was some decisions that I had
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: made that hurt myself and some people along the way
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that nobody knew about. And it led me to understand
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: something else about God. When you ask God for something,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: he'll give it to you. He will not reveal to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you the cost. Because if God had shown me everything
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I would have had to have gone through to get
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to where I am today, I would have changed my
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: request because I just wouldn't have had it in me
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to say, Okay, I'm willing to do that. I'm willing
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to do this, so he just honests the request. He
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: don't show you the requirements. But it's those requirements that
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: cost people they dreams. So I'm saying all this to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: say this to anybody that's trying to accomplish forty years
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of anything, or twenty or get to ten. Don't give up,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: no matter what happens. Don't give up. Don't you dare
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: give up. Don't quit. If you quit, you'll never know
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: what God had in store for you. But if you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: can manage to hang in there, if you can manage
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to keep putting one foot in front of the next,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: if you can keep managing to get to your house
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and lock that door at night and cry about it,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: pray about it, take a shower, rest, sleep on it,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: do whatever you gotta do, and by the grace of God,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: he wakes you up in the morning. That's a sign
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: from Him that he ain't through with you yet. So
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: just try to get one foot in front of the other.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you can't even get the other foot in front
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of the other. Sometimes you just got to be steal. Sometimes, man,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it's going so dark for you you don't know what
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: step to take. Just be steal, sit there, whisper his name,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: hold yourself, rock back and forth. I had a many
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: nights in that car, A many nights and days in
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that car when I just held myself and I was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: rocking back and forth, tears coming down my face. Man
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: didn't know what to do. I just said, Lord, if
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you wake me up in the morning, I just keep
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: on trying. And I just, by the grace of God,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I kept trying. I will give myself credit for one thing.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I just never gave up. That's the only credit I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: can give myself. I just never ever gave up. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: somehow kept the faith. I relied on Bible verses, scriptures.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: My mama was sending me. I just never gave up.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: You do your part, He'll do his, but you cannot quit.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I don't care what happens. Don't you dare give up?
• 6:18
