very special edition of
the thursday afternoon just before friday monday morning podcast as most of you
know usually i
ramble and i grace you guys with the brilliance of my inner thoughts fucking
with you um we have
a guest on today and this is a man that i have known jesus christ i think at
least 20 years
uh one of my favorite people out there in the new york comedy circuit is that
what they call it he's
got a new special out not a new special he's got a um i knew i was gonna fuck
that up he's on the new
uh tiffany haddish presents presents day ready season two episode six the
amazing dean edwards
bar what i'm saying what's going on look at you look at you you look great
thanks bro thanks
dressing me you got a better microphone the windscreen listen look andrew and i
just went
through this i just i i booked because i'm uh a lot of people don't know i'm i'm
eddie murphy's vocal
double for for all things donkey and uh and i just booked something for me oh
well you know you have
to understand you know a lot of people are really uh familiar with with eddie
you know and eddie
pre uh shrek pre pre clumps and the whole nine but eddie was a brilliant stand-up
man and and what
he's doing now you know he's not available for everything that dreamworks has
regarding all things
donkey so when it comes to donkey they said you know what i worked on shrek the
musical for about two
years and then got fired right before we went to uh broadway which was fine
because they jeffrey
katzenberg said you know what i want i want dean i want dean to be the voice
when eddie can't do it
and so it's been like a nice 13 14 year run man and they just we just hey yeah
yeah man and so
we just did uh something for universal beijing um you know and uh yes it's just
and i and i told my
agent what my agent said to me about a year ago you know everything's remote
now so you got to invest
in new mic equipment i was like whatever but then when i did this two weeks ago
i said let me let me go
ahead and invest and and sure enough that like two days later i booked another
commercial thing so i
needed this at home as opposed to running through my look through through the
beats by dre joint you
know no but how great is it now you know the upside of the pandemic there's a
lot of stuff in this
business where it's like no one of the advantages of the uh the pandemic for
people like us is this whole
new way and a lot of people i guess this whole new way where you don't have to
leave you can just do it
like back in the day i imagine before the pandemic you had to probably go into
you know into new york
city yeah kind of sit down hi dean would you like a water yeah we have little
bags of fritos over
there take the fritos always took extra uh snacks yeah sorry we're running a
little bit late so and
so was late that's another thing too like they're late so now you're late right
your gets pushed back
so that's that's pretty cool man yeah no dude this has been awesome i actually
um everything
anything i've booked over uh over this has pretty much just been i i've booked
commercials through my
phone where i just you know i i recorded on my on my phone um and sent in the
file the mp3
and they were like yeah that and and there have been some instances where i had
to go in
um and then there have been others where you know something like this the thing
i did uh the commercial
i did last week just patched and there's a there's a site called source connect
um and and they pretty
much just it's the isdn connection so that people that are in manhattan connect
with the people with
chicago and myself and they can direct me and hear me clearly so yes i'm
thinking like when this stuff
ends which it seems like it's going to end soon yeah um is that uh office space
people are really going
to be looking like wait a minute i can just you know we can just you know these
corporate guys be like
well why do we need a studio we'll just have the artist buy their own studio
then we don't have to
even buy microphones all they need is one guy in some central thing with the
mixer however the hell they
do it um i don't know they can rent rents might finally go down in manhattan
because they'll have to
open up all of that space rent has rent went down in manhattan but went up in
brooklyn so you know that
was the that was the trade-off people after i always say because we lucked out
i bought my house
before sex in the city made made brooklyn sexy to the rest of america like like
you know people that
lived in brooklyn that was still i thought it was all about manhattan to like
the late 2000s nah man
well i think i think people slowly came around but i think that was the i
always say sex in the city
is when people started looking specifically you saw like white people that
lived in manhattan
they were like no no one goes to brooklyn and then eventually after set after i
don't know
miranda whomever whatever uh sex in the city women once they once they came to
brooklyn dude if you
saw downtown brooklyn like right now you would know i i saw it i saw it uh god
i was in 2017 i was
over there i was doing an episode of crashing okay and my i was with my father-in-law
and uh he worked
for atlantic records in like ben yeah ben he worked for ben hill he worked for
atlantic records in the late
70s oh wow early yeah he went on the road with like parliament he was on a boat
going around manhattan
with like acdc when oh wow that's the rage album yeah and the boat got stuck he's
got all these great
stories but um he was standing on you know basically near the bridge brooklyn
bridge and he was just
sort of looking at the boat taxis like i mean it was like looking at like uh
sometimes when you see
like downtown tokyo all the lights he goes wow this is just like they turned
this all into disneyland and
they really they really did because i remember a long time ago you know i used
to do a lot of gigs
and stuff out in brooklyn and it was like you just went over the bridge and it
was like they cut the
electricity off immediately dark and you just felt like man i gotta uh i gotta
get my head on a
on a swivel this yeah it was a flatbush avenue was was was was seedy there was
a there was a strip
spot there was a strip club called 243 that was right across uh the the manhattan
bridge that as
you got on to flatbush avenue and i remember because uh because todd lay
resting please todd was like
hey man hey man tracy morgan he put us on to this new club downtown and tracy
was like yo dean yo you
gotta go to 243 but don't wear those sweats you can't wear these sweats you go
you go in there you
gotta let it all hang so they feel what you packing and now that place is condos
now the location where
the strip club was is poke knockers i used to do door knockers with poke knock
poke knockers whatever
it was and right next door there was a white castle which i loved and you would
go in there and there
was like bulletproof glass with this trash graffiti and it just looked like a
dirty fish tank and there's
people in there and you'd be yelling on the window no give me six yo i want yo
add extra pickles to my
my my white castle yeah man you know what they're like eating there it was
filthy
oh yeah and everything just had like those metal things that were pulled down
it was like uh
the hell was that clint eastwood movie where he drove the bus that he had all
the metal that's
just what it reminded me of and you know i left new york in like uh oh seven
and when i came back
i couldn't i couldn't believe it i mean brooklyn is like amazing but i know
white people always get
for coming in but those are actually the white people that got squeezed out
they didn't want to leave
yeah no no afford really white right so then they come in and everybody i got a
dirty look the other
day i i uh live out here in la and uh i got an old pickup truck and uh i had
this guy was fixing it up
and it was in this latino neighborhood that was just starting to switch over
and you could just see
it's ridiculous it's ridiculous how segregated economically people are yeah you
see like all these
like you know classic like la houses and then you just see one with like a fuchsia
door and flowers in
the thing like all right the white person moved in there most likely and there
was a place over there
it was a bread place and had a really like
fucking pun name right uh just what you needed yeah oh oh gosh yeah yeah and i
remember standing there
going like oh this would be a good place to take my wife and as i did it this
older latino guy drove
by with his family looking at us like he's giving us this and i was just like
all right this is starting to
change over this is not a uh so i hate seeing that but um tell me about like
what you did when did you
shoot this thing and and and obviously the the uh the tiffany haddish presents
thing episode six is
they ready i got the whole thing that that was something that was shot before

like like patten probably was one of the newer guys right right he definitely
leaned alt right and i came
in there with my uh greenwich village horseshit with the with the lean they're
like why are they why are
these guys from new york leaning on their microphones yeah it's because we walk
everywhere we're tired
exactly so i always wanted to play then it never it never quite worked out and
i got a kick out of one
time i saw a female comic who didn't get in and she was bitching saying it was
like sexism or something
like that i just want to be like you know just to put your vagina at ease here
that's a really
difficult club to get into yeah yeah yeah no anyway so you you you did a
