And he blamed the film when it didn't get the kind of critical response that it was supposed to get.

He's riffing on why one of the things is like, I thought me and Richard were going to be on set yucking it up, figuring things out.

But Richard was just kind of clocking it in.

And then Eddie says, like, I later discovered, like, he had just been diagnosed with MS.

And we didn't know that, but he knew that.

And so he was, his decline was beginning.

And so, you know, he continued to be in the culture for a bit, but I, you know, I don't remember when his last film was, but he starts to fade away.

And it's just a tragedy, you know, because...

I just think he would have still been such a great... Because you're saying he was born in 1940?

Yeah, or take another example, Steve Martin.

He's five years older than Steve Martin, who has got a hit TV show right now, right?

You know?

And is still actively making things.

I think Richard Pryor would still be making things, and I wonder what he'd be doing, you know, to push us, you know, what kind of truths he'd be telling that we don't get, you know?

And that is also...

A little bit of the tragedy for me of that generation.

There's so many of them, you know.

Who burnt out, you know.

Thank you for processing this with me.

Let's do it.
