00:58So that's been a blessing to have the phone keep ringing. It's been more than almost half of my life at this point, so
01:06It's just ingrained in me. I never thought I would ever even be here to even do one show like I'm not from New York
01:12You know what I mean, so it brought me here
01:14And I just have major ties to the city now because of this place and all the people here

01:44Could you tell me anything that could have happened to me?
01:49Could help me and
01:51He was gracious and after that it's been a lot of that
01:54So I have a Keenan to thank for a lot of my success because he doesn't like that
01:59But I do have him to thank because from the day that I asked him for some help
02:03He's been there for me and not only watching him, but giving me games, so I'm blessed to have a my big, bro
