You know what we were talking earlier about friendship. You know, it's I really appreciate some of the true friends that I have. True friendship is really hard to find. And the older you get, the smaller the group becomes because you understand and eventually, as you get up in this age, you start to losing people. I want to say that I lost the guy that I considered a friend recently out of Louisville, Kentucky, Junior Bridgeman. Junior Bridgeman passed away man and I that hit me so hard the other day on the set because I was going out to do the last show and his guy, Charles, had texted me earlier said call me nine one one, his right hand man, Charles Alexander. But I was on the set, so I didn't respond. And then I texted him and I said I saw an article that Junior passed out and then his next text was I didn't get it because he texted I was on set, and I went down to the set and then my assistant came up said, amen, Junior Bridgeman died today and it broke my heart. And we had to hold off on the show because I had to go outside and get myself together. Man Junior Bridgeman out of Louisville, Kentucky, used to play for the Milwaukee Bucks. Was one of the greatest men I've ever met in terms of being a Christian, in terms of being a husband, in terms of being a father, and then he happened to be a great businessman. But I had never seen that combination in a man before. Hardly ever, there's usually something flawed in a person. And I'm not saying he was perfect, but Junior Bridgeman out of Louisville, Kentucky was one of the best men I had ever met. And sitting at his house, meeting his children, meeting his wife, I went to the Kentucky Derby for him. This man right here was a pillar in the community. And I'm not using cliches. Junior Bridgeman was just a great human being out of Louisville, Kentucky and black people, you don't know what you lost. But he did so many things in terms of black people. In franchising restaurants. He was started off as a great franchisee. This dude was major. He ended up buying Coca Cola piece. He was in the bids to buy the Timberwoods, the Panthers football team. He was always in the running for something. He was up for buying Ebony magazine. He was a bid in for Bee t This dude was brilliant. Junior Bridgeman was one of the kindest, finest men I've ever met in all my dealings of business, in all of it, I never met a single soul that was better at all those things than Junior Bridgeman in Louisville, Kentucky. And I'm telling you right now, man, this dude, this dude was special. We lost somebody man with that one. Junior Bridgeman, hands down, best man, one of the best men I've ever met. Of all the people I've met in my life, I will tell you right now, Junior Bridgeman was up there in the top three. And I'd have met some good people, but Junior Bridgeman was about it. Man. Our condolences go out to his family, his beautiful wife, his sons, to Charles Alexander, his right hand man, to the city of Louisville, to Louisville University, to the Milwaukee Buck family, everybody, because I'm telling you flat out, you really can't find nobody say something bad about Junior Bridge. I've never heard it that dude was about a good person, noble and honestly. All Steve Harvey contests no purchase necessary, voidware prohibited.
