As the audience applauded, Jupe, Pete, and Bob walked up into the spotlight, although Big Barney was taking up most of it.
Barney shook their hands and gave them lots of freebie coupons while waving and smiling at the TV cameras.
“Hey, guys, can’t thank you enough,” Big Barney said. “And I’m going to be floating on this publicity for months.”
“Anytime,” Jupe said with a sigh.
“Yeah, glad we could maximize you,” said Bob.
“For sure,” said Pete.
“Don’t look so hoof and mouth, guys, said Big Barney “Once your names hit the media with this award, you’ll be on the map. And always remember who put you there. Yours ever so truly. Hahahaha!
