      The guy sitting next to Spoon is right. He trying to keep sense in the conversation. Cops try to do a good job yet people trash them. Cops go into the hood because the black old ladies and others demand they do something about thier neighborhood then the militants complain the cops are there. Can't win. Stop crying.

    I like how when they asked about Robin Williams he didn't sugar coat shit. He told the truth and didn't care. They were expecting him to get all sentimental and shit and he exposed him instead lol.

      I believe what he said about Robin Williams stealing jokes because I never thought Robin was funny to me his best work was when he acted in a serious roles like Goodwill Hunting.

    @SoulBrotha91 10 лет назад +21

    He kept it 1000 about Robin Williams instead of giving a politically correct speech or story to remember him by. I noticed ebro was on his good behavior and wasn't out of line pocket or asking any uncalled for questions like he's known for. I don't like or tune into rude ass hot 97 but I watched this strictly off the strength of my man Witherspoon

  • @KSS5

    This guy is telling us about the comedy business in the early days when Jewish club owners favored their kind and promoted guys like Rodney Dangerfield, Jerry Lewis, Andy Kaufman, Don Rickles and even Jerry Seinfeld. All these Jewish comedians were not funnier than non jews but they became household names because of their Jewish connections in the entertainment industry. Guys, this is some real shit. Ethnicity matters big time in America.
