  Speaker 3: different ways, but specifically in this space of you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: we're used to seeing late night come on network television
• 3:36

  Speaker 3: opportunity to you know, through through wondery. But then at
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: the same time, it has those vibes where it's all
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: about those almost late night radio shows that we used
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: to listen to to where it's all about relationships, sex, love.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: People are calling in with their problems and it's myself
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: and a professional, whether it's a doctor or a clinician
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: or a therapist, and then usually like an entertainer or
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: a comedy and we just take people's questions and you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: it gets the conversation gets real spicy, and then you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: in the last act of the show, I always go
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: out and do the man on the streets and actually
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: talking to the people about you know, relationships and all
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: of that stuff.

• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Let's just say that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: And I mean going like, man, we've been thirteen fourteen
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: seasons of a show. You gotta definitely figure out how
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: to keep it fresh.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I think we got it. And along with the judges,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you don't know either, right, Nick, I never know.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't say I never know because a lot
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: of times it's people that I helped booking their my friends.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: So there's like two buckets.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: But outside of that, yeah, like if I don't if
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: and even like when I asked people, like, you know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I had a conversation I was like with Lil Wayne,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: which was a dream to have him.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: He was just a fan because he had salt tea pain.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: So I was like, don't tell me what his costume
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: is gonna be, don't tell me what episode when, And
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: so I still didn't even know until he took took
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: it off, and I was like, oh, it ended up happening.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: So I'm part of the guessing game as well. I'm
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: always trying to figure it out.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: That's my t Paint is still my all time favorite too,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: just because that dude can really sing, and you because
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: of all the auto tone, auto tune, you don't think
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: about it, but I'm like, my guy can really actually sing,
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: which is awesome.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I feel like that was the catalyst for
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: him actually using his real voice and he does all
