  Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are our last break of
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the day, and you know, it's been a good day.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: It's been a good day. So Steve, you have some
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: clothing for us.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: You know. I was thinking of something the other day.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I heard something online and it really affected me profoundly
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: and it made me sit down and ponder and really
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: think of the goodness of God and all that God
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: has done for me. And I think about my life,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: my legacy, that when my life is over, what I
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: would like to be said about me. And I discovered
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: it's not about the comedy. It's not about the TV shows,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: the awards, none of that. It's about much deeper. It's
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: really about what I'm hoping to accomplish from here on out.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: And it's not about my shows or anything like that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: It's about the legacy. It's about trying to make an
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: imprint in the world in which I live in. And
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to change the world. I'm not that
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: egotistical that one man changes the world, because it has
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to be a collective effort. It's a huge world. It's
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: eight billion people here. There's no one person that can
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: change the entire world. Jesus came to change and to save,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: and he was sped upon and hung on the cross,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: but he had a lasting effect though, Oh my goodness
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that thirty three years he was here was, Oh my goodness,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: what an impact he had. Nah, I'm not Christ, let's
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: be clear about that. Nobody is. But I do want
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: to have an impact. And I was listening to somebody
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: online and they said, what makes this world great is
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: is that when old men plant trees the shade in
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: which they will never sit in, good people do things
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: for other people. And I'm thinking about my life that
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I'm actually in the process of planting trees and the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: shade of which I will never sit in. I won't
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: get to sit under some of these trees that I'm planting,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: but I want to plant them because I want to
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: do something for somebody coming behind me, for my grandchildren,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: for other people's young men, for other young people's children.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: And that's why I've gotten to in my life. And
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: that thing that I saw online, it affected me so profoundly. Man,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and the lady said, that's it, that's the she said.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: A society grows great when old men plant trees in
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the shade in which they know they will never sit in.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: That's deep, man, that you can get to that point. Now,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I understand when you're younger that that's not the mission,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: because you got to first get yourself under a tree somewhere.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: You understand, the whole thing in life is for somebody
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to create some shade for themselves. No nobody wants to
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: live under the blair of the sun continuously, So you
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: have to do that. When you're younger, you're trying to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: You're trying to create a tree, man, that you can
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: get under the shade. You know, you want to build
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: a retirement plan for yourself so you can get under
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the shade. But when that's done, what you're gonna do.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And I'm at that phase of my life, man, well, hoh,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: God continues to give me grace and mercy that will
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: allow me to act the way I've been acting and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to be able to shine the way I've been shining.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And I want to keep planting trees, of which under
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the shade I know I will never sit, but that
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: somebody after me can enjoy the shade of that tree.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: That's just being a good person, man, And how good
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: are you going to be? I'm just asking the question
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: because we all have the ability to be good within
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: our own right. This ain't a conversation about rich people.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: This is conversation towards good people. And some of the
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: best people I know ain't rich at all. I swear
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: to God to some of the best people I know,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I can't even tell you how much they make. Some
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: of the biggest inspirations in my life have been from
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: common people who have done some uncommon things. They have
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: been my greatest inspiration. Martin Luther King was not a
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: rich man. He affected me profoundly, profoundly man. Now there
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: are some men who have made a success out of
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: themselves financially that have affected me. But my greatest effect
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: in my life was not by rich people. My father,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Slick Harvey Lord have mercy poor his entire life. The
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: greatest effect on me, ever, this dude made me man.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: If it wasn't for this dude right here, I'm not
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: here today. My father was that type of man. He
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: was really the best man I ever knew. I didn't
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: know a stronger dude than him. And when he passed
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it because the strongest dude I know.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: When I got the news, I fell on my knees.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Man I remember the day I got the phone car
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: fell on my knees on my ranch in Texas. My
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: brother say, Daddy gone, what Daddy? It was totally different
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: reaction than when my mother passed. My mother it just
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: crumbled me because she was dear to me. But my father,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I just never thought nothing. What happened to this dude?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I just really did. But he planted some trees in
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: my heart and in my life of which he knew
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: he would never sit under the shade in And he
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: made me who I am. That's who I'm trying to be.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: That's who you should try to plant some trees with
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: which you will know never sit under the shade and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: makes you a good person.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Y'all have a great date.
• 6:21
