0:05But I only have two questions. I'll make it quick. All right, Matt. We good? Yes. Here we go. So good. So for fans of the show that I love 10 years ago, 15 years ago, whenever that was, how different is this one going to be? Is it going to be similar? Is it going to be different? I think it's going to be a lot better, you know. I think because I learned a lot during that show. I mean, I learned really a lot about what I wanted to do if I did a talk show. What we did initially with that talk show, some of the ideas we had then, we were never able to pull off. I think with this group of people, I can pull some of those things off and kind of make it more of the show that I set out to do initially, but really take it up a thousand levels. You know what I mean? And that's kind of what the partnership with Sony and Overbrook and ourselves at Flavian will kind of create, I think. And plus, I've

0:54grown a bit since then. So I've learned a lot more and I've been around a bit longer and I want to share a lot of those stories and share people's experiences in a different way and definitely keep it a little more lighthearted. My last show could get very serious at times and really heavy and it was really too heavy for who I naturally am. I am that person inside. I have that ability to really get into a serious topic, but I didn't want to do it as often as I was doing it back then. It was kind of really heavy on my heart because I'm a caring individual and it was just like, man. Get off of the door and be all right. Truthfully, I had to really learn how to go home and let it go but still be open. You know

1:41what I mean? It was like I had to toughen up. I had to let go of that day's show and yet still be open. And of course, I still want to do that to this day. But I had to come back and do two more shows the next day. So I couldn't carry yesterday's shows with me until the next day. I had to kind of let that go but things would really stick with me. And I didn't want to just say, okay, I'm not going to really relate to these people. I'm going to cut my feelings off and just kind of give them this little superficial thing. That wasn't working for me either because I'm just too honest and I'm too real for that really. So I had to find this balance of staying open yet being able to let things go and I think that was a good thing I did learn then. Cool. I have no more time. September 16th. September 16th in your face. Okay, at least

2:27in your house. Maybe not in your face so much. I'm sorry. I'm going to back up. You know, whoa, whoa, in your face. Whoa, queen, too. You know what I mean? I'm going to need you to get out my living room like that.
