you know what they just remind me of i watched that eddie murphy documentary
last night
that guy is so ridiculously talented okay not only like oscar level actor
one of the greatest comedians of all time i've done so many different types of
things
good morning my neighbor yeah i guess so yeah one of the greatest ever it's all
about my children
pursue peace of mind if you get that then you got it all
one of the greatest impressionists of all time and when he does voices
it's like mel blank where you don't he comments he goes you don't hear my voice
in it at all
and there's this thing towards the end he's playing like blues guitar
like he's singing in this voice he sounds like john lee hooker like somewhere
around that like range and
it doesn't sound like him at all he sounds fucking incredible
it was just it was an incredible documentary because i've seen his whole career
i think i kind of
missed 1980 i was only 12 when he got on snl so i wasn't up that late but i
remember i was i started
buying comedy albums and i i had bought like the richard pryor ones
then i went to george carlin and then eddie murphy had this album that came out
it had two
different album covers i had the i had it on vinyl and on the vinyl one he was
smiling he had a rose
behind his ear and then like i feel like they re-released it after he blew up
it might have been recorded at the comic strip too i'm not sure i forget i got
that album still somewhere
somewhere around here so whenever that was and i remember being in seventh
grade like in 1982 or
something like that and being in my math class i still remember this and i
remember i had memorized
because i listened to it so many times he was doing he did a bit about you know
somebody getting hit by a
car in brooklyn and some you know crazy homeless guy who didn't see it but
pretended like he saw the
whole thing um oh shit gad i seen it i seen the whole thing i remember i saw i
remember i had the whole
fucking bit down and i was doing it and making this kid laugh his ass off i was
just telling him the bit
and um yeah i i told you guys that i used to fucking do my paper route in the
morning and i would be
doing the routines out loud on my bike pretending i was in front of my whole
school on stage and for
some reason i still wasn't able to be like hey bill maybe that means you want
to be a comedian
but it didn't seem possible it's not like you guys with with your goddamn
camera phones and your video
and all of that shit it was just like you know the only person that had a
camera was like your dad
or your mom you know anyways what i'm trying to say is i'm fucking old so to
sit down and watch that
thing and have them slowly go through like his uh his childhood and then take
take you through his whole
career was really amazing and uh of course you know one of my favorite parts is
when he talks about charlie
even though i thought i wanted him to talk longer about it but um just seeing
charlie and watching
him telling those stories that guy was so goddamn funny and so much of what
made charlie murphy funny
was him just being charlie murphy like he wasn't so many times i remember he
would tell me something
and he was telling it to me sincerely and i would just be on the ground
laughing and then he would
then he would laugh he would sort of think about what he's like the way i was
laughing it would kind
of make him think about what he just said i am so thankful for that that dave
and neil got me on
chapelle show and then i met him and then don l came up with that idea for the
rich
bitch tour for us all to go out and um that's how i became friends with him and
um out of all this
in my career all the people i've met charlie murphy is is at the top of the
list as far as just like
one of the coolest most interesting just like characters i have ever met in uh
in my life i still
miss that guy anyway so it was great to see him in that and eddie talking about
him and all that even
though it was like you know sad hearing him say that he missed his brother
obviously but
it was just cool just to to just to hear his voice and hear him telling those
stories
i like that was another thing too is you guys you know you got the the the charlie
murphy true hollywood
stories like ice i have six other ones that they never that i can still
remember that he told me
you know that those are obviously his stories so i'm not going to tell them but
like we would be like
you know in the car riding to the gig and he would just start telling these
stories and i would just it
was so surreal that wasn't one of the most surreal times of my life where i had
done the show and i came
on in the second season so it was just starting right before it blew up the chapelle
show and i remember
walking down the street and i was in the first time i heard people quoting the
show and i was walking
behind them and they were quoting something that i was on set and saw dave say
like six months earlier
and then it came out and then they were doing it you know obviously the rick james
sketch was
immediately legendary and as people were reacting to that we were on tour and i
would be in the car
with charlie and he would tell another crazy story from the 80s back when eddie
was doing whatever like
the golden child or trading places or um beverly hills cop was fucking it was
amazing because nobody knew who
the fuck i was at all like i remember when i was on that tour people used to
always come up to me
hey good said i i uh you know are you from atlanta you know or are you a writer
on the show they had no
idea who the fuck i was so i kind of felt like the whole time i was on that
tour or on that show
i kind of felt like i had won like some uh like radio contests like the fifth
you know the fifth caller is
gonna get to ride in the gig with some of the guys from the chapelle show like
that's that's literally
what it felt like but anyway it's on netflix if you guys get a chance to watch
it i mean he's truly
uh you know like a a i can't even say once in every 50 years because he's in
his 60s and there's still
there's still there's still yet to be another eddie murphy like that level of
all of those gifts in one guy
