 So you were rapping maybe and scratching working at Red Lobster. Then you saw Eddie at Radio City Lobster. I saw Delirious, it was like, oh, okay, that's what I should be doing. Uh, but the Radio City story is basically me on line. It's like one of those things. The father's got the paper winning only people on the block with the New York Times and it's a big, full page ad. Eddie Murphy is going to be playing Radio City. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. Okay, I'll get there at 11 o'clock and buy some tickets. This is back. Yeah, no, it's prehistoric times where you have to go to a place to buy a ticket. It's prehistoric times. So the line was six city blocks long. Oh my God. It's the longest line you've ever seen in your life. It was, it was like, it was like one of those depression lines. Bread line. Yeah, like that, like one of those depression lines, like Eddie Murphy is going to be in a building in six months. You know, anyway, I'm, yes, I'll wait, I'll wait and I get online and I'm just reading my paper and like, hmm, comic strip audition night. Maybe I should go there and I left line and walked from Radio City to the comic strip audition night was not that night. They sent me to catch. I went to catch. There was about 40 people outside waiting to pick a number of one of seven numbers. You pick a number and if you, you know, you pick one of those seven numbers, you get to perform that night. I got number seven. Uh, I'd never performed ever. Had you thought of shit to maybe I was thinking of shit online. Well, I was on the line. Do you mean in the line? In the line. I'm like back in the eighties online meant you were in a line. I was on the line confused. And, um, by the way, up to 40 people, maybe 30 of them had already auditioned before and it was just a normal thing. Like, like you see open micers, same open micers. And, uh, so they're all like, Oh, your first time. Oh, okay, it's good. Get this one under your belt. You know, by, this is my knife or whatever. You know, one day you'll be good or whatever the fuck, whatever it was. Anyway, cut to, I'm the only guy that passed that night. And bait. And you had the, the joke you had. The one Brett Butler had passed a week before me. Rest in peace. I'm kidding. No, she's alive, right? Yeah. Oh, she was great. Yeah. She's funny. She was like my bud. Um, the, uh, and you had, here comes the neighborhood, right? Maybe, yeah, maybe I got it that night. Yeah, I think I did have it that night. You, you have, what were you talking about? Just no recollection. I said some bad joke about Miles Davis is so black, lighting the bugs, follow him in the daytime. And I don't know, maybe two more minutes of jokes. And I kind of killed. Yeah. And did you feel like, Oh shit, were you like, I shouldn't be killing or like, this is easy. It was more like, this is easy. It wasn't like, I shouldn't be killing it. Um, you know, my, like, what's the big deal? What's the big deal? This comedy thing. Why are we waiting for Eddie Murphy? And I proceeded to kill for about three weeks. Yeah. So my first three weeks, I'm annihilating. I'm killing to the point. They're like, it was thinking about bringing in the SNL people to see you like my first year. Right. And I brought a girl. I had a girl from back then. I know how this story goes. And I brought Kim. And I proceeded to bomb for the next three years. No, yeah, that's what happened. I proceeded to, it was, it took me three years to even get back to that point. What do you think it was? Just one of them things, you know, that thing, that confidence and arrogance. Once you get that, like the community can't get to that arrogant place. Yeah. Got to be confident. But once you cross that line, yeah, it's like, fuck you. Yeah. Is it the failure you just that like threw you off? The, well, I was probably too cocky up there. First of all, I was as young as fuck, you know, and I looked at 1920 like 1920 and I looked, but I looked like 13. I mean, I was, I weighed like 130 pounds or some. Oh, you couldn't find clothes that fit. Yeah. Like, like, I was that picture of you before 1990. Nothing fit. Yeah, I was everything is too big. I was so skinny. All right. Um, so I really, you know, a lot of stand up is, you know, there's a reason there's no Justin Bieber of comedy. Yeah. There's no little way. Like Eddie Murphy is the closest thing we've ever had to a young comedian and all the rest of them are 30 years old. Right. Yeah. To start. Yeah. Is one young guy, one guy that was 22 and fucking ripped it, but all the rest of them are kind of grown men and women. And so I was young and one, and part of the reason is just no one believes you when you're that young. Yeah. You know what I mean? There's no point of view. There's no, you have no point of view. It's like, it's like, what do you know? Yeah. What the fuck do you know, kid? Shut the fuck up. But they'll take Miles Davis being black. Yeah, yeah. You don't need to any, any age can see that. Yeah. Take your silly shit.
