But he felt like, ‘Damn, am I being disrespectful that I didn’t go up to him?’ He didn’t want that. So, he went up to him, and Kurt came back, and I was like, ‘Oh, how did it go?’ He was like, ‘Steve was Steve.”

God, he looks so good, and he’s going to knock the crowd out.’ Whenever I came back to Kurt, he was in a golf cart.
