fucking money i swear to god

realized halfway through
this that i'm still alive so when i kind of shitting on myself somebody's got
to put together
the hack diet whatever that is those motherfuckers live to be like 85 90 um
anyways another just giant
i mean you're talking about somebody who when i met him in 2004 had already
lived like four
lifetimes he had four unbelievable books from his childhood to his teenage
years in in early 20s
living in brooklyn and all this shit that he did to going into the navy to his
brother blowing up
and then him getting out of the navy and working security on the tour and then
morphing in to like
a screenwriter an actor and then he gets on the chapelle show just was sitting
around as was that was told to me
just telling these stories of you know back in the day hanging out with
everyone from prince to rick james
you've seen all those things stories about whitney houston he just sugar ray leonard
oj simpson he just
like that sketch which to this day i'm telling you is i think it's the greatest
sketch of all time
the charlie murphy true hollywood story about rick james and uh i remember him
telling me
afterwards i was just like dude how true is that shit and he goes well yeah
obviously we exaggerate
like you know he didn't when he hit me in the head i didn't have a unity
you know thing on my head but he's like yeah he did they were like in the back
of the limo or something
and you know rick just kind of went to he was trying to be like friendly but it
was like ah and he kind of
hit charlie like hard enough in the head that i guess eddie and his friends
were waiting for charlie
to react because they knew how charlie was and charlie kind of got mind fucked
for half a second thinking
like you know i'd stomped the shit out of anybody who did this to me but it's rick
james and it kind of
took him like an hour before he was like fuck this and uh you know obviously
didn't kick him up on a
dresser but he did fucking rough him up a little bit in the back room and then
when his security came
in he did bring him over to the window and say that he was gonna throw him out
they came anywhere near
him so um yeah man it's just really uh really a sad day and that guy was just
and he was such a great
guy i i told you guys this story before he saved my fucking ass one time um i
was trying to get in
shape right as always as i always am i was living in new york city and uh i
started going down to
gleason's gym out in brooklyn you know because i didn't want to get all fucking
you know i was
billy re swank is i believe what i was calling myself or they were giving me
shit because i just
went down there in an actor performer kind of way to get in boxing shape
without ever fucking you know
getting my head kicked in so when i told charlie that i was going down to gleason's
gym he goes
i just went i'm going oh yeah okay okay i'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen
he goes you're gonna be over there for about six weeks and out of nowhere he
goes some dude's gonna
come up to you and start telling you be like how long you been boxing for
really oh man you're nice
man you're nice you we had a spar sometime he goes he's gonna fucking he's
gonna amp you all up
to get you into the ring so he can try out a bunch of shit that he does that he's
not dumb enough
to try out on a professional boxer and he's gonna beat the fuck out of you and
i was just like and he
just started laughing at me i'm like yeah get the fuck out of here get the fuck
out dude i'm telling
you i was like whatever time he said three weeks or six weeks it was like right
on the nose i'm sitting
there you know on the heavy bag like the comedian slash sometimes actor i am
hitting the bag like
right and this fucking this black dude shredded comes over
it's like yo man he goes how long you been how long you been boxing for it was
like it was almost
like charlie's head was on the guy's head he said the exact same thing oh man
you're nice man you
ought to get in the fucking ring and all this shit and i just started laughing
i just started laughing
i was like i go man i go fuck like i'm a fucking comedian i'm horrific i'm not
getting in this you
can try out all your new shit on me and the guy just started laughing threw his
head back laughed and
then walked away and it was so weird i was like that guy was gonna beat the
fuck out of me
so then i told it to charlie thinking that he would be amazed that you know you
know like like dude i
called it what the fuck did i say and he was just like yeah he's like i told
you he did that like a
million times like he just had this um i don't know he had like this fucking
sixth sense and i tell
you some of those other stories the oj one and the whitney one but i just feel
like those are his those
were his stories to tell and if he wanted to share them he would have but um so
i can only tell you
the ones i remember when we were on that chapelle show tour it was me you know
don l ashy larry and him
and charlie was the guy who actually showed me that you could write a new hour
of material
in two months because i saw him do it because he blew up you know on on the
second season with that
that rick james story and um all don l came up with the idea for the tour he
was like you know yo son
we should go out on tour blah blah so you know we'll have bill open up you know
we'll bring you out
charlie you can host it and then don l would close and um i think charlie maybe
did this is the
fucking balls this guy had i think he did maybe six shows before we did our
first show and i believe
it was dayton ohio and we didn't even have an agent and don l booked the thing
and uh so we went
out there i was like the only white guy in the room in the theater and we went
out there and charlie
hosts and he went out and just went charlie muffin you know uh i'm rick james
bitch or something like
that place went fucking nuts he told like two more jokes brought me out and
everybody's looking at me
like who the fuck is this guy is this one of the writers is this one of the
creators is this the
agent on the tour nobody had any idea who the fuck i was so i did my bullshit
charlie came out told
another couple of jokes and then don l closed the show everybody had a great
time and um afterwards we
went into the back room okay now we're in the green room and there's like 20
people in there and we
don't know anybody once again i'm the only white dude in there me don l and
charlie are sitting at
this table and all of a sudden these two guys come up or was it one guy i can't
remember and just had
like a fucking bag of cash from that night's gig and he had it all banded up
and just threw it on the
table and it all spilled out and it was just sitting there and i was sitting
there like what the fuck
and don l and charlie didn't move so i didn't move and i was just sitting there
as the white dude like
going i guess this is how black people pay each other they have 20 complete
strangers
in the fucking room drinking and partying and then just a bunch of cash i felt
like we robbed a
bank or something so we sat there i swear to god for at least one more mob deep
song or whatever
the fuck was playing at that time the thong song i can't remember what era it
was and uh finally i
forget it was either don l or charlie just sort of casually sat up and just
took the money put it in
the bag and then put it down by their side which made me relax a little bit
more and i was just like
i was sitting there going like i don't think i'm ready for this fucking tour
this is not the way
you get paid at the funny bone so we stayed there maybe for like another half
hour and then we finally
go up to get up to leave and we're just walking out and you're just feeling
eyeballs on us because
we got this big bag it's just cash and we out go out we get into the fucking
they had rented this
fucking limo for us we got in the car and the second the car door is closed and
we start driving
away don l just goes yo what the fuck and charlie was just freaking out and i
just started and i was
just like just the epiphany that they were actually freaking out too i had no
idea you'd never know
looking at their face i'm sure everybody in the room knew that i was fucking
uncomfortable
and um suffice to say after that we got ourselves an agent and uh we got we got
paid by check after
that it was just us in the room um and that was that infamous tour where they
would always make fun
that's where that joke came from you know this motherfucker got five shirts um
that's where that
one came from because they always made fun of my clothes and that was that time
when i was hung over
and i just didn't want to get in the car and deal with this shit and they had
taught me about the
itis which was basically when you eat like a food that's rich in uh flavor but
low in fucking nutrition
your body you end up taking a quick cat nap because your body literally has to
shut everything else
down to figure out how to digest what you just put in your your stomach so i
was standing outside this
hotel hung over as hell and i just oh my god we were doing that it used to be
the uh it was the
chicago zanies and then you do mount vernon and then uh saint charles it was
this three gig run
through northern illinois i forget where we go we just done zanies and i was
got too drunk
i had a fucking headache and i'm walking out trying to get fresh air going i
gotta deal with these two
fucking assholes all the way up to this club it's a two-hour drive they're non-stop
gonna be fucking
hammering me i looked down the street and there was a popeyes and i just
remember them telling me
about the itis and i said fuck this and i went down there i got a bucket of
chicken biscuits with
mashed potatoes gravy all of that shit and i brought it into the into the
fucking limo i was like hey
guys i got some food like ah great you know and they dug in they started eating
and i didn't have
one piece of it and i swear to god within 20 minutes they were both asleep and
i had they slept the
entire fucking ride i basically poisoned them temporary poison them and it
worked like a goddamn charm
and um i don't know i just i i had to say something about charlie it's still
too sad to really get into
the the feelings of all this but um he truly was one not only one of the most
amazing just lives of
anybody ever lived he just was truly one of the best guys that um
that i haven't met in this business so
all right that's it no getting emotional on the podcast okay
