Dan Le Batard (0:43)

Amin I was curious. We'll get to juju in a second. But I'm really interested in this Jamie Foxx special that's gonna come out on Netflix today. I think it's December 10th, and I've been looking forward to it for a number of reasons. First of all, I think he's as talented as anyone in Hollywood. The range that man has as a comedian, an impersonator, actor, stand up, everything singing, like, it's just unbelievable, the talent that he is. And he almost died. And we haven't really heard very much about the details. Like, we've heard some things from his daughter. And there are a lot of whispers around everything involving Diddy and allegations. And he's going to address it artistically, and I'm looking forward to whatever that looks like because he's so creative. Are you looking forward to this?

Jeff (1:29)

Absolutely. Jeff. Jamie Foxx is, first of all, he is the single most talented person in Hollywood because everything he does, he does at an elite level that matches and mirrors the elites that do it. Singing. He sings just as well as the best singers, actors. He acts just as well as the best actors, comedians. He's just as funny as the best comedian. Impressions, impressions, sketch comedy where you go back to in living color. He knocks it all sitcoms. His sitcom was incredible. He, every thing that he, every endeavor he undertakes, he does at an excellent level. And I actually have a mutual friend. So I don't know Jamie Foxx now. I don't know him. I've never met him. But I have a mutual friend who said basically that one of the driving things that kept him alive when he was literally on his deathbed is I want to be funny. I want to crack some jokes about this. This is awful what's happening to me. But also it's kind of funny. Someone's got to hear these jokes. So that was kind of like his survival instinct kicking in. And so I'm very interested to hear this standup. And he's such a great storyteller, Dan, that I don't even know or care if whatever the Diddy involvement is real or just art. I know it's going to be funny and well done. In the same way, when he tells a story about shooting any given Sunday and he's with LL Cool J and he's like, I think he's not acting. I think he actually thinks this is real, you know. So I'm looking forward to his spin on whatever happened.
