26:20
today like the DC Young flies the chico beans some these guys um what did they say about Eddie when his wave hit the
26:27
comedy well everybody back then that was the man to look up to when they started
26:33
course okay so he didn't get he didn't get comedian hate at the time I don't think so I know Eddie would like to do
26:38
stand up today but what it is it's tough being a comedian and when you want to come back he's been away yeah you got to
26:46
work every night I mean when he does when he went on to the uh Tonight Show and all that
26:51
people waiting for him to go crazy one time he just didn't do much remember that time he didn't do just said a few things but we want Eddie to come back
26:57
but it's tough it's tough huh to go back with new and he's got kids and he's got the millions of dollars you can't go
27:04
down to the seller every night when you got that much money and waiting you trying out new jokes like that and so
27:09
