On this weeks episode we are welcome by special guest Kier "Junior" Spates from the Steve Harvey Morning Show.  Junior is not only the co-host of The Steve Harvey Morning Show but he is also a writer for The Steve Harvey talk show, Showtime at the Apollo, and the Miss Universe Pageant all hosted by Steve Harvey.  

Given the name "Junior" by Steve Harvey because Steve thinks Kier reminds him of himself, when Junior isn't working with Steve he is constantly touring and performing on the road and selling out comedy clubs everywhere.  

Junior talks about the deaths of his best friend and road manager Brian who he has known since Day 1.  Junior gives us insight on who was there for him the whole time to help him cope with the loss. 

Next Junior talks about working at General Motors and what it was like being a young man in management working for that company.  He also tells how that experience led him to making the decision to start comedy.

CB reminds Junior of the first joke he heard from Junior and what made him a fan.  "All the brothers on the downlow make some noise"

Junior also talks about living with Sickle Cell and how he is a  voice for people dealing with it. If you have Sickle Cell or know someone dealing with it please check out https://www.kiershope.com

Junior talks about working the Miss Universe Pageant, his thoughts on Steve Harvey visiting Trump and what it was like, his charitable work as Junior Clause and more on this episode with Kier Junior Spates.
