Whoa. Are we going? We're going. Oh, we're already going. Yeah. Oh, shit. I didn't know we were going. I would have puffed up my cheeks and stuff. Yeah, I got to go to Andy Murphy's house one time.
It was very cool. What? Do tell. All right. What do you want to know? Was it a party? Was it a Thanksgiving? I can't say where it is. No, no, no. It was just a little quiet hangout. Just you two? Getting some notes on a script that never happened.
Chapter 2: What are some memorable stories about Eddie Murphy?
Whoa. Norbit 2? Obviously, it was Norbit 2, which did happen. Oh, it did? Didn't it? Really? I was joking. Isn't Norbit just a spinoff of Nutty Professor? No, no. He's just being big again, I think. How much do I get if I win all the questions? You get a glass of red wine. Oh, wait. Who has a picture of Andy Murphy's house?
Oh, there it is Wow I've never seen a photograph of it It's like a resort all I know is uh it is like a resort And I think they got you know like heating a pool that big damn like Epstein without the guilt Imagine heating a pool that big I mean these are Norbert problems I don't know okay. That seems like it's right.
I was not invited to the pool area to like splash around or anything I was kind of there working Okay. 32 million. That's very low. What was the script you were working on? Can you say? Yeah, I can say. It never happened. We were writing a version of The Incredible Shrinking Man for Eddie. It was a remake of the old idea for Eddie.
And the idea was that he was a Vegas... You're not going to cross the reframe with this? Thank you. Your love handles are really killing me. Good Lord, that belt is ruined. It's not the worst wine I've ever smelled, but... Joel McHale's wine? Joel McHale brought it. Joel McHale's a wine enthusiast. I didn't know that. Of the highest order. McHale's, yeah. McHale's an expert on wine.
You must know that, right? Oh, yeah, he's good. We were working on a... It's pretty good. If it's from McHale, it's going to be good. I play his brother on a show we don't have to plug. The animal control. Correct. Ding, ding, ding. Ding, ding, ding. And Mike Rowland's on that show, too. Yeah, everybody Mike Rowland's on that show. Very funny dude. I like that guy a lot. Cute kid.
He's a very cute kid. He's a real cute kid. Yeah. We're not going to talk about the man just dressed in my outfit? Well, it's mine. Let's address it. Yeah. Are you flattered? Are you creeped out? What's the feeling? I like it a lot. I would wear that if you bought me one. So we're out at Eddie's house. We get out to Eddie's house.
To get to Eddie's house, for starters, there's like a gate like Jurassic Park. Uh-huh. You know? Like to keep out a T-Rex or something like that. So we get to the gate and the guy asks you like, he's got his hand on his Glock. Whoa. The security guy. It's not like lightweight security guys. You know, sometimes there's security guys, like Trader Joe's security or something is not a big deal. Sure.
How are these pictures existing? When you go to Eddie's house, there's a... It's Google Maps. The guys already have their hand on the weapon. Damn. And they're like, what are you doing here? And you say, I'm going to see Eddie Murphy. And they're like, why? Whoa. Yeah. Like we're working on. I'm not in a book or something.
We're we're working on we're working on a version of The Incredible Shrinking Man for him. And they're like, do you think that's a good idea? Not a gun. We're like, yeah. We're like, he's like a Vegas magician is like David Blaine. So everybody thinks he's doing it as a bit. But it turns out he's been like cursed by a real magician. They're like, OK. If you think that works, we'll let you in.

Chapter 3: How did the idea for Trading Places as a musical come about?
I'm calling it. I'm considering it perfect. I'm going to let it exist the way it exists for space and time. Got it. So it was a great era because the feeling is that the Knicks were always, with Ewing and everybody, going to finally beat the Bulls at some point. We hoped. And guess what happened? You didn't. I remember. It was so great. 90s bulls were unstoppable.
Well, Jordan would have the flu, and he'd score 55. Dang. It was crazy. He's the GOAT. I mean, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, it was unfair. I met Pippen. How was Pippen? He banged his wife? He was great. Here's what it is, and I'm going to go on the record here. Jordan's son! I'm moving the microphone away from myself. As I talk about my relationship... Jordan's son married her. What? Seven rings.
Is that true? NuvaRing. He did.
Chapter 4: What stories are shared about Dennis Rodman and his celebrity interactions?
Is that true? He did, yeah. I think they got divorced, though. I thought I heard that, too. Man, she's a looker. Here's what happened. I met Scottie Piven because we were both in first class on United. Nice. Well, let me clarify. Fine for me. I'm in first class. He's Scotty fucking Pippin. And he's like 6'8". Shouldn't Scotty be on something nicer than what Lieutenant Dangle's on?
I think he should be. Like, I assure you, there's no chance Dangle's bumping into Jordan anywhere I go. Right. He's at nicer places than I'm allowed. But Scotty Piven and I are allowed at all the exact same places, which is a sad sign about the contracts he had to sign. He got fucked over. He got fucked, because now he has to live like me, an ordinary millionaire. He's not broke.
Neither am I. He got a big deal with the Blazers at the end, but a lot of Jordan's money is from the shoe deal. Jordan's basketball money was never even a drop in the bucket. I mean, he had armor. What was the hot dogs? He had Jockey, Nike. Oh, yeah. He had a restaurant or two. A bunch of steakhouses. A cologne. He had a bunch of steakhouses. What was the fucking hot dog he had? He had a hot dog?
Jordan had a hot dog.
Chapter 5: What insights do they provide about the challenges of auditions in Hollywood?
Pull it up. Show it to me. Hot dog ads. bang him Michael Jordan ballpark Franks no way they plump when you cook them was he sprite too or am I a racist you are definitely McDonald's both could be true that's true the fact that you are probably are a racist that's a good point they plump when you cook them Michael Jordan wow ballpark Franks would get a little that boop boop
They get a little excited when you cook them. Did he do milk as well, or am I gay? Yes and yes. Got milk. Both could be true. Got milk. Both could be true. Thank you. They're not... I remember the mustache. You gotta thank Joe McHale for this wine, by the way. Oh, yeah. This is good wine. It's actually true. This is McHale? Yeah. Yeah, he doesn't fuck around at all. No, no.
He called us out, I think. We had, like, a shitty selection, and since then, we've upped our game. That's true. Did he send you this?
Chapter 6: How is the impact of streaming platforms on comedy discussed?
No, you got Ewing.
Oh. God.
I love Ewing so much, dude. We all love Ewing. You know what? That's the thing, too. It's not all about winning. Like...
It better not be.
But as a kid, there's value in loving a thing that doesn't work out. That's true. Like the 90s Knicks. By the way, but the 90s Knicks, well, here's the thing about them. They're a magnificent team. Thank you. But then there had to be something that could come along to be the foil of a team that amazing. Jordan, it just was unfortunate to be going against the greatest ever.
I mean, Barkley missed out, Stockton, Malone, all these great players missed out. Malone did not miss out on impregnating a 12-year-old, but he missed out on a championship. Is that right? Yeah. Wow. I got to hang out with Rodman recently. You did? Yeah. Whoa. First class United? No, coach on United. Economy Plus.

Chapter 7: What are the plans for upcoming projects mentioned in this episode?
Economy Plus. I was actually just sitting on Carmen Electra's lap. How was Rodman? If you go to, maybe, who posted it? Maybe Weird Al. There's a picture of me, Weird Al, Rodman. Holy shit. Jared Pilecki, and Jennifer Gray. That's a fever dream. What the fuck? It should be. And Richard Gere's hamster. Obviously, not pictured, but there.
But Rodman, it's hard to put into... There's a photo somewhere. It'll turn up. Images. Boom. No. There's you and Weird Al. Yeah. No. There's Patton Oswalt. Patton. No. No. It'll be... It's probably on Al's... I don't know where it was. Somebody's Instagram. Private Instagram. Oh, that's Lake Geneva again. There's me and Al on my boat. Whoa. He's weird out of the man. He's the man. I met him once.
He's probably the nicest guy I've ever met. He's probably the nicest guy I've ever met. Sweet guy. We zinged him because I did Opie and Anthony with him, and everybody zinged him. He's like, what are you doing, guys? Why are you zinging? Why are you being so mean? We're like, oh, you're a nice, normal guy. We're animals. Every other word on that show was, ugh. I know.
He was like, what are you guys so mean for? Rodman's interesting, because, like, you know, he's 6'7". 6'7"? And he still acts exactly kind of like the Rodman you're thinking about. Yeah. All right. Like, he has not, like, he hasn't, like, mellowed. I like that. A lot. Well, he's hanging out with Xi Jinping, or no, Kim Jong-un. Oh, yeah, yeah.
He's the only guy who ever gets to go to North Korea, apparently. Well, he brought a bunch of players with him on that one trip. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. Didn't they make a, they made, like, a... A music video? There was a news show about him going to... My ex-girlfriend had a huge crush on him. I had to break up with her. Right. Didn't Madonna date a Dennis for a little while? Of course. Madonna.
And Pippin. And Karma Electra. Electra. Wait, did Madonna date Pippin? I think they hooked up. Can we have footage of that? Mark, can you tell me about that? I could watch that. Rodman's father. No. Absent father, right? No. Philanderer. His name is Philanderer. His name is not Philanderer. Something like 24 kids by 19 women. I think it's 20 kids. Christian name is Philanderer. That's impossible.
I'll look it up. That is impossible. Things can be true, Tom. This sounds like a Charles Laudan type of story right there. Let's see. I forgot about the smiley face hair. That was genius. The weird smiley face. Oh, yeah.
you know that remember that guy philander not philander philander's close yeah that's up there do you guys know that stupid remember rodman left and just went to vegas for a while so cool and it was so cool that they just let him do it they were like he just needs i have a theory about it yeah i have a theory about why they let dennis do everything they let dennis do and it makes it makes a lot of sense like when there's a guy on the other team that people think is crazy
like that's so helpful sure like imagine like so when even the bulls are like hey dennis is fucking crazy we can't control him so imagine how you feel if you're the knicks and you're like yeah if he won't listen to phil jackson and jordan and pippen and anybody else and he'll just fuck off like watch out for that guy yeah he doesn't fucking care And you gotta let a guy that crazy be crazy.
