Eddie Murphy is a true legend. He is the only man who can make Richard the Goat Pryor laugh through his pain. This was hard to watch and funny at the same time. Two of the best to ever do it.

Chris Rock says he missed out on $30 MILLION because Eddie Murphy walked downstairs. "I love Eddie. This is how crazy Eddie can be." "Eddie has the recording studio in his house. So all he has to do is go downstairs to do Donkey." "He would make them wait for months at a time." "At least twice, they negotiated deals with me to play Donkey." "And then Eddie just went downstairs." "And I'm out of $30 million... just because Eddie went downstairs." "I'm on my way to the studio thinking, 'Yeah, I'm Donkey.'" "Oh... Eddie went downstairs." "He's in his pajamas doing Donkey right now."

2024 is breathing its last and it’s now time for me to do the thread of my best barbecue and outdoor cooks from the last year. Starting with this incredible dry-aged rib of beef from last January. Mount up.

Etiwanda School District in California has some explaining to do. 4 year old girls are not responsible for this behavior. The principal at Sierra Vista needs to be removed for suggesting such B.S. This is infuriating and I am glad the parents are suing.
