Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Guys, we got an exciting one. This is not a repeat. This is a new version of Chris Rock live at the Orpheum Theater, which we shot and had a blast.
Always fun with an audience, especially with Chris. Yes. And we're out there in three chairs. We got our cameras. Pretty big audience. I mean, Netflix is a joke. It's like 18 million shows. But Chris was great. We learned a lot. We went in some places that were very funny. I mean, he just has a lot of stories that involve a lot of well-known people. There were some pretty fascinating things.
We were pulling some names out of them. Yeah. God, we went back to SNL again. We always do that, but there's always something. We went back to pre-SNL, how we met Sandler, old Eddie Murphy stuff, where he met Eddie, a lot of great stuff that I don't remember doing that in the first time we talked.
No, no, I learned a lot, and he was great. We had a great time. We're going to now repeat some of the main jokes, so you go ahead.
No, we're not. But I have to say, I did laugh a lot. He didn't walk through it. He came in in a good mood, excited. The crowd was into it. And it's one of those fun ones where you just start laughing. And we're just kind of all over the place, cracking each other up.
Yep.
Great time.
No further ado. Or what do you call it? No further ado? Is that the phrase? Close enough. With no further ado. Without further ado. The one and only Chris Rock.
20 minutes.

Chapter 2: What stories does Chris Rock share about Michael Jackson?
My Michael Jackson story, it's a weird. Okay, I got two. Okay, no, no. The first time I hosted the Oscars, there was like a crew guy, a guy in the crew, like a gaffer or something. And I guess he used to work at Michael's house or whatever, because Michael always did all sorts of stuff. And the guy literally gave me his phone. Somebody wants to talk to you. Oh, wow.
And he gives me the phone saying, hey, Chris, it's Michael. Break a leg, okay? And that was it.
That's better than mine already, yeah. That's fucking cool, though. A man of very few words, but to the point.
When was that? How long ago? It was the first time I hosted, so yeah, yeah.
Because I remember when he passed away, was in the Woodman's chocolate wasted scene in Grown Ups.
Yeah, we were in, yeah.
Yeah, on the picnic tables, we went to lunch, and someone said, I don't think we had Instagram or anything, but someone, the rumor went around where it was like, oh my God, he just passed away. And I remember Mama Rizzoni, your mother-in-law in the movie? Yes. Was very sad. It was hitting her very hard. And I told her it wasn't for sure that it was just a rumor.
Because she had to have a softer landing. She was totally already starting to cry.
She was really bad. Yeah.

Chapter 3: How did Chris Rock almost get to voice Donkey in Shrek?
Dave Chappelle. Somehow Rushmore have canceled. It fits somehow. How do you fit into that group? I don't understand that.
Chris is the nicest. You don't fit. I, you know, I'm cool. I'm like Ludacris. I'm cool with everybody.
Sure. So you go and you watch, or does anybody go on?
Dave went on. Shane Gillis, too.
Shane Gillis.
Why not? Another home run hitter.
He's doing very well.
He's doing all right. So, yeah, Dave went on. Shane. Louie. Then me. Then Dave comes on and brings out Kanye.
Okay.

Chapter 4: What was Chris Rock's first impression of Adam Sandler?
Yeah. A song called Blame Game. He coached me two four hour sessions in the studio that he cut down to about three minutes or two minutes. And yeah, he's kind of a genius. So, you know, whatever. I did that.
Is it hard to stay focused talking to him or is he he's probably interesting guy, right?
Oh, no, he's a very interesting guy.
Oh, he did something that was brilliant. I don't know if he was the first one, but he'd have people sampling beats and rhythms and stuff, and he would just walk around, listen, change that, do that, get this, go with that, you know. So he's got an ear. That's what he's doing.

Chapter 5: Why did Tupac not like Chris Rock?
I'm hanging. Okay. And she pulls out, she's getting ready to do a special in Cuba. I'm literally right next to her. She calls her manager or somebody. And she cancels the special in Cuba. Really last moment thing, right? So I know how much money she's getting. And I offer, I call up Chris Albrecht at HBO, go, I'll do it. I'll do a special right now. But I got to get the same money. And?
And I got it.
Fuck!
So, whatever it was, you could imagine. But before that, I probably got 20 grand for Bring the Paint. Like, no comedian made any money. Sure, sure. Just the privilege to do it. Like, take Madonna's money. Give me that money.
But did you shoot it in Cuba?
No, no, no. We shot Bigger and Blacker at the Apollo. Okay, that's right. And... Yeah. So I did that. So those two specials are like kind of like a year apart or year and a half apart.
But you were ready or you didn't know?
I wasn't really ready, but I knew I got it together. And I mean, you know, it's that time in your life. You know, there's a time in your life when you're just a vessel and the shit's coming through you like that, you know? So I was at that vessel point. Go, Chris.
Go, Chris, go.

Chapter 6: What memorable experiences did Chris Rock have with Michael Jordan?
Married, divorced. Did he say you were going to meet me?
Yeah. He told me I was going to do this podcast. The church lady.
Yeah.
So, and you know, and this is like the real Eddie Murphy. This is like, this is not Dr. Doolittle. This is like... This is Eddie, Eddie, Eddie. This is red leather. Yeah, he probably had on some green leather. Yeah. Like Elvis Eddie, and he's got 20 guys with him. And he's like, we're going to LA tomorrow. You should come. I go to LA with Eddie.
Holy shit.
And I end up in Beverly Hills Cop 2. That's right. A movie... that I saw four times the day it came out. I saw Beverly Hills Cop one, me and Fred Barton, who's not alive anymore, saw it four times. Anyway, so I'm in LA doing that. I come back, because I have to come back. You know, I only made $600 doing Beverly Hills Cop, right? And who do I see? Who the fuck's this white kid
on stage on Saturday night. What the fuck is going on here? It took me two, three years to get on that Saturday night. Who the fuck is this guy? It's Sandler. And like everything in my body said to hate this guy. Because not only is he on Saturday night and obviously didn't earn it, they told me he's on the Cosby show. It's like, motherfucker, how come I'm not on the Cosby show? I'm a black guy.
Who is this white boy on the fucking Cosby show going on on Saturday night? And I watched him and I was so prepared to like, fuck this guy. And he did this joke about Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100 points in a game. It was like his impression of the other players on the team. Hey, Wilt, I'm open.
But he also had a line where they're in a huddle, Wilt's already scored 98, and the coach says, okay, who's got Wilt? That was another one.
