1:07

One of the richest most uplifting

1:09

voices in R and B. Ladies and gentlemen,

1:12

Mister Jeffrey Osborne is in our studio

1:15

right now. It's

1:21

right. Thank you, Jeffrey. You know joining me

1:23

today is one of the greatest comedians out there, any clean

1:25

comedian. I was telling mister Osborne

1:28

that this guy won't cuss no matter what

1:30

happened. You can hit him in the head with two back four Josiah

1:33

Jones ain't gonna say no curse words. He also is

1:35

a minister, you know. And I've seen you,

1:37

minister the time you did online.

1:39

That boy is deep and he's

1:41

funny. You know. My favorite land is

1:44

his mother was white and his father

1:46

was absent. I just thought that's hilarious. But

1:50

weren't need to talk to you, Jeffrey

1:52

Osborne. This is my time to

1:54

find out who you are. And

1:56

you know, I want to go back before we

1:58

even start. I want to go back to your daddy. I

2:00

want to go back to I

2:03

want to go back to Legs Osborn.

2:05

He played trumpet right they he did, great

2:07

trumpet player and he.

2:08

Played with like lying On Hampton, count

2:10

Basie, Duke Ellington. So

2:12

so it's in your system, isn't it? Singing

2:15

music isn't your blood.

2:17

Yeah, I'm the youngest of twelve too, so

2:19

all my brothers and sisters played

2:22

an instrumental saying, so, you

2:24

know when I came up in the house was just full

2:26

of music. You know, it was music all around

2:28

me.

2:29

With twelve kids. How do you have time to do

2:31

anything else?

2:32

I don't know how, I

2:34

don't know. Maybe that's why they called him legs.

2:36

He was just.

2:38

Here, wasn't it?

2:39

Or he was moving around on the legs?

2:43

And now did you grow up under him? Did

2:45

you grow up and watch all these great people he

2:47

played music with? Were you around that influence

2:49

at all?

2:50

I wasn't.

2:51

He died when I was thirteen years

2:53

old, so I didn't really get a chance to

2:55

see his greatness.

2:57

You know, I was the guy that was at home

2:59

when he came in from playing all the

3:01

gigs around town.

3:03

Woeaw.

3:04

He would come in after having a few drinks and

3:07

throw everything on the ground and tell me to pick

3:09

up, pick up, pick up the money. You pick up the money,

3:11

man, and we'll split it. And then he would sit

3:13

there and play, and I would sit outside his door

3:15

and listen to him play.

3:16

It was just amazing.

3:18

It's beautiful. Do you do you keep tapes? Did you keep

3:21

tapes of your dad?

3:21

Have tapes back then. I mean, come on, man, I'm

3:23

seventy five.

3:26

And that's another thing I want to talk about.

3:29

Whow a seventy five years

3:31

young? I was telling people the other

3:33

day, you know, you and I did the or you and

3:35

Stephanie Mills actually did the concert, and

3:37

I was just on there with y'all. But

3:40

your performance is that of a forty year

3:42

old and thirty five. You dumped off that stage,

3:44

you walked through that audience, you had the more

3:47

energy than anybody there, and each

3:49

one of your songs you're still delivering them

3:51

with that same beautiful,

3:54

deep, lovely sound. It's not like

3:56

crackice. Come. I'm watching lot of the old people.

3:58

I'm I'm sorry, I'm not. I watch a lot of these

4:02

artists who are becoming seasoned,

4:04

like our sail. I'm sixty six myself, but I don't

4:06

feel a day over fifty nine. They

4:09

still going on stages and stuffing on.

4:11

Here.

4:11

People cracking the music. The boys

4:13

is cracking it off. They faking you

4:16

see some people start singing low at certain points

4:18

because they can't hit that note. But you

4:20

hit that stage, hit every note

4:23

just like you've been doing it the whole time. What's the secret

4:25

to that well.

4:26

I mean the most important thing is health, you

4:28

know, And I think a lot of us

4:30

take that for granted, especially

4:32

the life that we lead, because I'll tell you,

4:34

the road is a beast.

4:37

And when you're doing these shows and you're doing back

4:39

to back nights or three four nights

4:41

in the row, and if you ain't taking care

4:43

of yourself, it'll come back and get

4:46

you. And I think that's where a lot

4:48

of the older guys kind

4:50

of slacked up a bit, you

4:52

know. I I've been vegan

4:55

for the last ten years.

4:57

I don't teach you.

4:58

I just started eating fish

5:00

in the last six months because the

5:02

little training guy I have told me that, you

5:04

know, you getting old, man, you need some fatty acids,

5:06

so you better eat a little fit. So

5:09

but I was strictly digging and uh,

5:12

And I've always taken care of myself. I always

5:14

think the most important thing is vocal hygiene.

5:17

I take care of my instrument like

5:19

it's you know, it's just like anybody would

5:21

take care of their horn. You know, you gotta take

5:24

care of it. You gotta clean it, you gotta lubricate

5:26

it, you gotta do all those things. And

5:28

so I take care of that.

5:30

I call it vocal hygiene where I steam

5:32

every day.

5:33

I so it's like a hooker, a hooker

5:35

and a coochie. You have to clean that

5:37

thing. You have steam it and make sure everything's

5:39

freshus. All right, If

5:45

that thing ain't clean, it ain't good for nobody. You

5:47

know what I'm saying. Talk

5:50

about your health? Yeah,

5:53

oh my god. Now

5:55

are you self taught? Because I know you are a drummer

5:58

as well as the lead singing LTD

6:00

and I adore LTD. I

6:02

love LTD. So you

6:04

are a drummer in there too. So how did

6:06

you start?

6:07

Uh?

6:08

I am self taught, by the way, I'm self

6:11

taught with every I'm living

6:13

in Providence. I'm from Providence, and

6:16

uh I had a brother.

6:18

I know they had the black people in Province Land.

6:21

Okay, a

6:24

whole lot, a whole lot of my fam

6:27

really your family alone,

6:29

that's one city right there.

6:30

The youngest twelve. You

6:33

know, all my brothers and sisters at fourth.

6:34

But you were the very youngest.

6:36

I'm the youngest at twelve. Yeah, dude,

6:38

we.

6:38

Have so many parallels. I'm the youngest

6:40

in my family. It was five brothers. I'm

6:42

the youngest. Uh my father

6:44

died when I was twelve. Your father died at

6:47

thirteen. And both of us have beautiful

6:49

ball heads.

6:50

You know what I mean.

6:51

People are ball in their head looked like hell,

6:53

it looks like a damn roller coaster that lump

6:56

some ship. And your head is perfect.

6:58

You know, it's rough.

7:00

When you get to the ball saying and realize yo, he

7:02

it looked like furniture, you'd be like, nah, I

7:04

ain't gonna do it. Oh my goodness.

7:07

So so you did. You did musical instructs

7:09

before you start singing. I played

7:11

drums. O. My father

7:14

left his trumpet for me.

7:16

That's the one thing I got was his trumpet. So

7:18

I started playing trumpet. That didn't last

7:21

long. I was like, okay, I don't like

7:23

that. I'mmateur on my lips. Oh

7:25

yeah, And it was swell right there in the middle.

7:28

So I played a little bit and kind

7:30

of put that down. And then my brother

7:33

left the set of drums in my basement and I just

7:35

sat down and for some reason I could play.

7:37

I had no lessons at all. I sat down

7:39

and I.

7:39

Was able to just fell natural.

7:41

Yeah.

7:42

So I started playing around town when

7:44

I was like fourteen, fifteen

7:46

years old in my little local bands,

7:49

and that's how well,

7:51

that's what I met the OJ's first.

7:54

I met the OJ's coming through Providence, Rhode

7:56

Island, when I was fifteen years

7:58

old, and I used to play that nightclub

8:00

and I sold my mom, I want to go see the old j's.

8:02

It was a school night. She's like, all right, no, go ahead

8:05

and be back. You know, I go see him.

8:07

And the night that they are performing,

8:09

I'm watching. Their drummer was

8:12

actually on Heroin.

8:15

He was on He was falling asleep

8:17

after every song, so.

8:18

He would play a song.

8:19

Then he would nod out, and then he would

8:21

play another song. Even now, and I'm fifteen

8:23

and I'm sitting there and saying, what what is

8:26

that?

8:26

Right? So I talked

8:28

to the club owner.

8:29

He let me meet them after the show and I

8:31

said, look, man, you guys guys need a

8:33

drummer. They said, yeah, we need

8:35

one right now. I said, well, they

8:38

said, no, you're too you'll I said,

8:40

well, I know all the guys.

8:41

I'll bring a few guys up audition if

8:44

you let me audition. They said okay.

8:45

So brought a few guys up, all

8:48

the guys in town, and I

8:50

ended up getting the job. So My

8:52

bird job was when I was fifteen playing

8:55

with you know, an established group was

8:57

the Old Jays, and then I met

8:59

that WOW and I met

9:01

LTD under the same circumstances I met

9:03

them. I met them when I was about twenty

9:06

years old. They would come through town and

9:08

everybody said, look, there's ten black musicians

9:10

playing in this club down the street.

9:13

You gotta go see him. I said, I ain't seen ten black

9:15

musicians, and.

9:16

Problem is ever so all together,

9:19

Yeah.

9:19

I went to see them.

9:21

The night I went to see them,

9:23

their drummer got taken to jail for smoking

9:26

marijuana outside the club. That

9:28

was nineteen seventy. I was nineteen,

9:30

so you know that was a major offense. So

9:33

they locked him up in The club owner said, can

9:35

you help us out? Can you play drums with this group?

9:37

Like, I don't know what they're doing, but they're doing

9:39

Top forty. I knew all Top forty because

9:41

I used to work part time in record store. So

9:44

I went in and played the knight, sang a couple of songs,

9:46

and they asked me to join the group. So I

9:49

owe my career to drugs. I got, you know

9:51

what I'm saying.

9:55

And harra haro I

9:58

helped my career's herod. Oh

10:00

my god, So did you really play

10:02

like they want you to be able to play? When you first

10:04

started? Did you get on them drums?

10:06

Did you do your thing?

10:07

You winging it?

10:08

Yeah?

10:09

Because I had a local group and we had all the

10:11

best jobs of time. I played and sang at the

10:13

same time, and so when

10:15

I joined LTD, I did the same thing. I was

10:17

playing and singing most of the time,

10:19

and then we recorded. We had this

10:21

one song in nineteen seventy five

10:25

call Love Ballot.

10:26

Come, and that's one of my favorite

10:28

songs. Man, I love that song so much.

10:31

And you know, there's four hunt players in

10:33

LTD.

10:34

So record company came to me and said,

10:36

look, you got to get up from behind the drums

10:39

because the ladies are going crazy over this song.

10:41

They can't even see you singing it. You got

10:43

to get out front. And I'm like, i don't

10:45

even know what to do with myself out front. I'm so used

10:47

to this doing this with my hands

10:49

and singing. So they got me a

10:52

teacher. So I got a guy

10:54

who was the theater director at

10:56

La City College, and he came

10:58

in and he worked with me and he

11:01

taught me how to, you know, work

11:04

the stage. And the one thing

11:06

he taught me that I never forget. He said, the most

11:08

important thing is to reach

11:10

the last person in the last seat.

11:13

He said, you get that last person

11:15

in the last seat, you got the whole

11:17

audience. So he just taught me

11:19

how to, you know, how to bring in an

11:21

audience, how to work with the audience, and it was

11:23

invaluable.

11:25

Wow, wow, I

11:29

want to see. I was trying to pull that up real quick.

11:31

I love ballad? Why

11:35

did they name it love ballad?

11:36

Like? I see all the words in it.

11:38

I'm younger.

11:40

I was like, my mother loves this song,

11:42

and I'm like, it's the love ballad.

11:44

I'm like, well, what's the name of the song?

11:46

Right, it's a bat.

11:48

I have no idea why.

11:50

If I had written it, I

11:52

wouldn't have called it love ballad. But it

11:54

was written by this guy, Skip Scarborough,

11:57

who was an incredible song right.

11:58

Skip Scarboro wrote a bunch of hits something

12:01

from Winning By he wrote,

12:03

you know, he

12:06

was just a great writer.

12:08

And I don't know he just came up with I

12:10

guess when he was writing it, he was gonna write this

12:12

love ballad, and that's what he ended up

12:15

calling it you cute it.

12:21

Years old.

12:27

Or a lot of people got something on this one. A

12:30

whole lot of buff us born to this one. Yes,

12:33

sir, y'all don't

12:35

know about love ballad. You know about this is one of

12:37

the America's greatest classics.

12:39

Black or white, that's all Love

12:41

ballad. The Ghoult people went in on that amazing.

12:45

Yeah, that was it was fortunate to

12:47

be able to get a hold of that. That song. It

12:50

was turned down by earth winning fire.

12:53

Oh my god, how beautiful.

12:56

Maurice said he didn't wasn't

12:58

feeling he wasn't feeling it.

13:00

Gave it, They gave it to us, and uh

13:04

interesting.

13:04

So that was one of them songs that

13:06

uh.

13:07

I fought with the producers the night I sang

13:09

it, didn't want to sing, was ready to go home.

13:12

They taught me in the stinging at like four o'clock

13:15

in the morning, I'm singing a song.

13:17

You know, it's four in the morning. So I

13:19

got sang it one time and left and

13:21

said I'm done with it. Came back

13:24

the next day they said, oh, this is done. You want

13:26

doesn't do this.

13:27

I'm what

13:31

you want to take Jake.

13:32

You didn't one time I did it one time.

13:35

I didn't want to do it.

13:36

Then I didn't want it because I've been waiting

13:38

in the studio since eight o'clock. They

13:40

showed up in one in the morning, and

13:43

so we had the big argument, and they were like.

13:44

Well, you still got time, man, you can go something like I don't

13:47

want to sing right now.

13:48

So I did it, did it one take, and

13:51

when I came back and listened to it, I said, yeah, I'm not gonna

13:53

mess with that either.

13:55

What the biggest

13:58

ever? Hey, we'll take a quick break. Now,

14:00

16:23

seventy five years young, what

16:26

was the greatest and the most exciting

rocked you. You just had to go over the corner, sit

16:32

16:37

It's that's hard to choose.

16:46

Jacquelin or somebody. I mean,

16:48

what's going on? They stood up the whole concert.

16:50

They sang every word to every

16:52

song. It was amazing. There's

16:55

been so many moments like that, it's

16:57

hard to pick one. I think Nolan

17:00

might be one of my favorite places to play because

17:03

people and all that is love music. They

17:05

love everybody, you know.

17:07

All of love party. That's it.

17:09

They They're gonna eat.

17:11

It, drink it, make love to it, dance

17:13

with it. They're doing all that shit right out

17:15

in the street.

17:16

I have a question, mister Osborne. So

17:19

with the way that music is now, do

17:21

you have a new favorite artist? Like

17:23

I know sometimes you know, people like I

17:25

don't listen to nobody for real, or I

17:27

listen to contemporary music.

17:29

Do you have someone that you listen

17:31

to that you like this kind of fairly

17:34

new or something like that.

17:36

You know what it's it's it's kind

17:39

of hard for me to listen today to a

17:41

lot of the today's

17:43

music.

17:43

It's it's so different, you know.

17:45

I appreciate some of the people

17:47

out and I am completely

17:50

blown away with the success of some

17:52

of the younger people.

17:53

It's amazing how well they have done.

17:55

I wish that my

17:58

generation had done what

18:00

they're doing, which is they collaborate

18:02

with everybody. I mean, you look

18:04

up and they're all on each other's albums,

18:07

and I love that

18:09

that, you know, I love that about the

18:11

young artist. I

18:13

think today's music, like

18:15

we were saying earlier, it doesn't have the character

18:19

or for me, the melodic depth

18:21

that music had back then.

18:23

But the following is amazing.

18:26

I mean, these kids are selling just oh

18:29

gods are records and I mean, I

18:32

saw I have to say that I

18:34

respect what they're doing quite

18:36

a bit, but I you know, like you were saying,

18:38

I don't get that that love

18:40

feeling anymore.

18:41

A lot of it is.

18:42

That's what I was going to ask you. Are there any more

18:44

crooners?

18:45

There's not a lot, especially male vocalists. I

18:47

don't see a lot.

18:48

Everybody wants to rap now, you know, and

18:51

most and most of the melodies are basically

18:53

almost like a rap melody.

18:55

It's all kind of monochrone.

18:56

There's no versus and then

18:58

a bridge and then a chorus, and

19:00

you know, it's all sitting on the same little

19:03

eight bath phrase and right

19:05

right, it's.

19:06

Not challenging to sum it up.

19:08

That's why it's a lot of eighties babies, you

19:10

know what I'm saying that at my eighties and nineties

19:13

babies sang where

19:15

it was easy to take women's panties off,

19:17

Versus now they're just like, bitch, take

19:19

your pannies off.

19:20

Like it's a.

19:21

Little they say,

19:23

you know me and saying to you real pretty

19:26

Where it was like it was an ease or you know,

19:28

like you know, let's just do it, but you

19:30

know, now it's everything is a lot rougher.

19:33

Basically it is, and

19:35

I think we've lost respectful women

19:37

in today's music. I mean, I just

19:39

hate to hear people on them bitches and

19:41

holes and this and that and what the thing is they buying

19:44

it? I don't get it.

19:45

Yes, mister

19:48

Osborne, to your point, to

19:50

your point on the wings of love, that

19:52

ain't nobody going on the wings of love?

19:54

No more, no wings of

19:56

love. Nobody. Ain't nobody holding

19:58

on?

19:59

Come on, somebody,

20:01

Ain't nobody. Ain't nobody talking about I'll

20:04

make believe. Ain't nobody doing that?

20:06

It's in their face.

20:08

Like you some songs you would

20:10

be like, hold the wings up, love.

20:13

Now it's like I'm gonna beat it up until your back

20:15

hurt.

20:19

Daddy.

20:19

Didn't beat it up, daddy.

20:22

The women saying period, beat

20:24

it up, period, period.

20:27

I missed the songs where you

20:29

said my one and

20:32

only love, Come on, somebody, yes,

20:35

shut up so that they

20:38

love. Now, mister Osbourne, they just

20:40

screwing. They not making love.

20:42

You're right, And he could enunciate

20:45

his words.

20:46

He enunciate his words

20:48

like you can hear him and a nunci ain't

20:50

his words.

20:51

You don't know half the ship people talking

20:54

about them?

20:55

Now?

20:56

Are you saying to beat was nice.

20:58

That be was nice. Australa

21:00

and Josiah, this is before you your

21:02

kids time. But there was a day

21:05

when people actually held each other and

21:07

danced slowly. Come on, y'all,

21:10

don't remember that? Do you? You remember that?

21:12

Josiah? Now you better not

21:14

touch the mofuck on the dance floor. I wish the fuck

21:16

you would. You better not touch your hand off

21:18

me. But it was all about the blue light

21:20

and the basement. Man, we throw on some L T

21:23

D. We granding. I

21:25

know you too young to remember grand Austraya remember

21:28

grinding.

21:29

Griding is because I remember Pokino

21:32

night and Pochino Knights used to get

21:34

rough in the family at the houses

21:36

and I was a little gird at the

21:39

Yeah, I used to see that at the top of the stars

21:41

while everybody was in the basement. Of course

21:43

I didn't got popped a couple of times. My

21:48

little grown ass was watching y'all.

21:52

So so so, Jeffrey,

21:54

what is the worst experience musical

21:56

experience, the thing that didn't work out? Which

21:59

one of those? Do you remember anything that turned

22:01

into a disaster? I thought it was would be great, but

22:03

it didn't work out.

22:05

We've had a bunch of those during the course

22:07

of my career.

22:09

I think one of the biggest disappointments was

22:11

we finally got our chance to

22:13

audition.

22:14

For A and M Records Ltd.

22:16

We've been struggling in La get a chance

22:18

and were going and we auditioned and

22:20

they were like, well, we're not hearing

22:22

it. You know, the music is too militant,

22:25

and we were.

22:25

Militant back then.

22:27

Oh wow, our music

22:29

was all about y'all white

22:32

folks doing.

22:33

This and black folks.

22:35

They were like, so we kind of messed

22:37

up that audition and it kind of hurt us.

22:39

But what they did was they said, well, we love you.

22:41

Guys musically, would you consider

22:44

being a band for Mary

22:46

Clayton. Mary Clayton at the time was

22:49

very big, you know, and she had done some work with the Rolling

22:51

Stone. So we started performing

22:53

with Mary Clayton, and we did the

22:55

Monterey Folk Fest with her

22:58

and a band fell out, so

23:01

they asked us to fill in twenty minutes, and

23:04

we did twenty minutes and left the crowd

23:06

standing and the record company looked at.

23:08

Us and said, oh wow.

23:10

So they called us back in and

23:12

the funny thing is our first record deal.

23:15

It was one of my favorite artists, Jerry

23:17

Butler had.

23:18

A production love Jerry Butler.

23:20

Jerry Butler had a production deal at A and M

23:22

Records, and we signed through his production

23:25

deal for our first album, and

23:27

after that we signed directly to the label. But

23:30

yeah, I mean, so you know those moments

23:32

you work hard, you get there, you get that big audition,

23:35

and it don't happen. That was That was a

23:37

tough moment for us.

23:38

So at seventy five, are you still dreaming?

23:41

Do you still have dreams of accomplishing more

23:43

different things? Or have you mellowed

23:45

out and just gonna.

23:46

Do I'm living a dream. It's

23:48

all about the dream, you know.

23:50

It started with a dream when I was twelve

23:52

years old on the street corners

23:54

out there.

23:55

I thought I was one of the Temptations. I was doing

23:57

my steps right right, you

23:59

know.

24:00

And then ten years later I'm

24:02

on stage opening for the Temptations and

24:04

I got to meet them.

24:06

Why dreaming

24:08

is important?

24:09

Yeah about that dream? So yeah, I never

24:11

stopped.

24:12

We live or die by them dreams,

24:15

we see, because you can only live the

24:18

story that you write. So so

24:20

yeah, family, you

24:22

have a wife, your five kids, four kids,

24:25

four kids, four kids for what's

24:27

them, Sherry? Yeah, please

24:30

give her our best, tell her hello, it's

24:33

just love down here. Are you in l

24:35

A Novemberfore?

24:37

I'm not in l A. I'm going

24:39

most of November.

24:40

I like that. I like being going because that means

24:42

I'm coming back with the money now. I can't put

24:44

in Chase Bank because they just closed all my

24:47

counsel with out a reason. But I

24:50

love coming back with the money now.

24:53

I got I gotta go after them, man, because they

24:55

tripping. You know, they racist and ship you

24:57

know they They ain't even tell me a reason. They just

24:59

say, you know, we don't understand

25:01

your activity. You ain't

25:03

both know my activity. I better take my money,

25:06

put it in when I won't take it out when I want. But

25:08

of course, being black, they assume

25:10

niggas are selling drugs. I ain't slaying

25:13

nothing but jokes. So I don't know what the hell

25:15

they talking about. But I think

25:17

I think I smell a lawsuit. Yeah

25:19

it's tasty.

25:20

Okay, that's interesting

25:23

right there.

25:24

If you wanted your public out there to know anything

25:26

that you haven't had a chance to say yet, can you

25:28

say it now? What was one thing you want people

25:30

to know about you? Jeffrey Osbourne. Man,

25:32

the legend. I don't know.

25:34

That's a hard question. The things

25:36

that I haven't accomplished that I still would like

25:38

to accomplish, you know.

25:39

And I tell you what, tell me one, tell me one.

25:42

Well, I've never done anything as far as TV

25:44

is concerned, no motion picture

25:46

work other than I've had songs on

25:49

TV. I've had theme songs, and I've had

25:51

songs in the movie. But I've never

25:53

done any acting. And I think that's one thing

25:55

I would like to do. You like to travel

25:57

actor, I think I would know

26:00

the right thing comes along. I think I would.

26:02

Yeah, the part of I'm doing tomorrow

26:05

you would have been perfect for them. So glad you didn't

26:07

know about it. And uh,

26:09

it's it's

26:12

a fimm I'm

26:14

a little older than sixty and

26:16

I'm the guy who comes and check out everything.

26:19

You know.

26:19

I do the inspection, the counting

26:21

inspection for this building, right, But come to

26:23

find out, the guy who lives

26:26

there also slept with my wife

26:28

and I recognized his face, like, wait a minute,

26:31

you the hindred just the musician. He said,

26:33

yeah, man, I remember you.

26:35

And so at first they had passed

26:37

the inspection, but then

26:40

when I realized that this dude has done the who

26:42

see with macuity? Things changed.

26:44

I can't tell y'all no more than that. But the show is

26:47

called Man, Man Your Business, that's

26:49

the name of the series. Man Your Business are Bounce.

26:52

But I you should try to

26:54

act?

26:54

You should?

26:55

You should get out there and do something.

26:57

Yeah, I like to Have you ever done a monologue?

27:00

No? Not really, you know?

27:02

And I started at one time to, you

27:04

know, try to get into some voiceovers, and

27:06

I never did that because I figured I do

27:09

some voiceover work.

27:10

But why don't you learn a monologue?

27:12

If you if you learn a monologue, like a

27:14

five minute monologue, and if you go

27:16

online you could put up put

27:18

in monologue for black men like

27:21

five hundred to jump up and find one

27:23

you like? You feel good, feel like you could say it and

27:26

learn it. If you learn a four or five minute monologue,

27:29

Man, you could come on a morning show. How

27:31

cold would it be to see you

27:34

doing a monologue? Brother? People

27:36

would go crazy for that.

27:38

I agree. I think that.

27:39

I think listen. I think he almost

27:41

soap opera worthy. I think you like

27:44

Young and the restless he does,

27:47

I mean not heat of a night.

27:48

What's the other one? The Light, the Sun,

27:50

the.

27:50

Guy in Like,

27:52

I really think that you should try to go do

27:55

one of those the soap opera. I really do, oh

27:57

yeah, because they're doing a lot of so a lot of people doing

28:00

so soap operas. But soap operas tough, but

28:02

you know, I mean as a first job.

28:04

Because soap opera it's new material

28:07

every day, and so

28:09

for five days, every single day, you got

28:11

a new script for every day because it's a story that keeps

28:13

unfolding every day. That's tricky to

28:15

me because I don't memorize that quick

28:17

like all the rest of this day today, A memorizing

28:20

line for tomorrow, you know. Yeah,

28:23

yeah, so I want that to happen. Please

28:25

consider getting your monologue together.

28:28

Then we can get you on the Michael coy In Morning Show.

28:30

Do your monologue. I bring on Miguel

28:32

New Year's He'll be the monologue judge

28:34
