And like you said, I was like, maybe, I don't know if you guys understand how it is to be selling out as an open miker.

Crazy.

And he had to get his voice.

And I was like, why did he never do this?

Part of it was because he probably never wanted to be compared to his brother.

He never wanted to be able to like, that's his brother.

And he had his own style or whatever.

So we did this fucking tour for like...

like a year, and then I saw him start to grow.

Sometimes he took some hits, but he became Charlie Murphy.

He became like, I'm not my brother, I'm a storyteller.

He stuck to that shit.

And one of the things that I would say that I really appreciate about what the Chappelle Show gave to Charlie Murphy, when Charlie Murphy passed away, Joe, nobody said Eddie Murphy's brother died.

right they said charlie murphy passed away so that show didn't do and when i tell you one of the most stand-up original guys all of those stories like was it true it was he told that was just part of the story me dave me charlie and bill built a relationship we did something that was spectacular then but uh

Bill Byrd used to fuck with us.

And I'm gonna tell you one of the things he would do.

We would be on the road and all we used to do was argue and fight and just fuck with each other one time.

And Bill Byrd, he did some fucking, I don't wanna call this racist or whatever, but whatever.

It was very Bostonian, okay?

I won't say.
