Yeah, that guy.
Yes, man.
Yes. Who's on first? Who's on first? Eddie Cantor, bro. Who's Eddie Cantor? Eddie Cantor was the first comedian to do radio. Right. And he was, because I have a history for Fools podcast, so I learned about the history of stand-up comedy. Plus, I read that. I watched the documentary. But he was one of the first guys, but he was very clean, bro. He sang. Can we hear some of this?
He was the first red guy to have a radio comedy show. I'm trying to hear what he's saying. What is he saying?
He'll be on the radio, bro, talking, and then he'll pinch the chicks in their butts. Oh, God. Yeah, and then, like, they wouldn't say nothing. And then finally a woman says something, Mr. Cantor. And he had her fired.
It's World War I, bro. Back then, for a stand-up comedian, like, what I found out was, imagine you do a gig. $200 back then, right? And the promoter says, the gangsters, I'm not going to pay you. And you don't get paid, and they go call the cops.
You had three vagrants walking around downtown, and then your three comedians walking around town with no hotel, no pay, and they're going to pick you up for being a hobo now.
But that was back then, bro. That was a hard time. Imagine from then to now.
Yeah, better gigs.
Yeah, I have a special right now on Netflix, Raging Fool. We shot it at the Crest Theater in Sacramento, two shows. My wife directed it and executive produced. She executive produced all my specials. But we shot it with our own money. We paid everybody, and then we sold it to Netflix. We made like a two-year deal. Oh, that's awesome. So you did great. I love the tracksuit.
Yes, because of Raging Bull, because Raging Fool. Got it. Because of Raging Bull. I love the tracksuit. It's dope. Because I was watching that movie, Raging Bull.
And I was thinking that when Jake LaMotta had nothing left to do in his life, he had nothing how to make money.
He said, you know what? I'm going to be a comedian. So, and I felt like, wow. He had nothing else to do with his life, so he figured out, I'm gonna do stand-up comedy. Because that was the last thing, and for us, it's like the first thing.
And he had like – you saw the movie, right, Raging Bull, when he's doing stand-up? And he's at a bar called Jimmy's Corner Bar, and that bar is still there.
Did you fuck my wife?
I like when he looks at his hands and he goes, he don't like his hands because they're not big, I guess. He goes, I can never be a heavyweight.
Crazy.
42, wow.
Yes.
Yes.
