  Speaker 1: right now though, just my kids. Billy, yeah, without question.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Now that he did it, now it's free game like
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Hannibal birds got the heat right, but now it's like

• 7:54
  Speaker 1: best Bill guys going to do right now just die? Yeah,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: it's bad. Yeah, he completely I just wanted to that's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: any of his host die. I never see so many
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: old women with viving memories in my life. I'm my
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: good lord. One girl said Bill Cosby. One ladies literally
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: said nineteen sixty two. I go, hold up, fifty three
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: years ago, that's before Selma. That doesn't count. Just be
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: happy to remember that to take that end. But it
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: is Bill Cosby. So if Bill Cosby did something to you,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you know, I never forget. Got some Benjamin Button stuff
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: going on there. I guess you never get a life
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: lest you never get over it. I guess, man, none
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: of them are dead, Like I know Bill coswatch TV.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: He don't recognize half these women he's I ain't, I
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: ain't missing. Nobody looked like that. So they put up
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the old picture and he's like, oh, okay, okay, the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: mom squad. I forgot that was Sidney Poltier introduced me
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to her. You think, do you think they should take
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: all of the Cosby Show episodes off TV? Or that's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: just taking it sucks because I used to love the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Cosby Show. And I mean there's some sitcoms like Martin
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Fresh Prince they never get old. Classic Cosby never gets old.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: But now you're watching it and we Bill Gotta gives
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: a little look or something, or he's you know, he's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: hold one of the girls. You're like, okay, Like they
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: did one. They showed one on the internet where we're
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: talking about some barbecue saw right, like you know what
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna get dry rubbed. I didn't know.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I've never met him. I saw him one time. I
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: never met him. It's amazing because, like, you know, he's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: one of the those guys that people would hush for
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: so long about it because they felt like he could
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: ruin you in the business if you speak about anything
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: he was doing. Yeah, I've heard that. I've heard that before.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I've heard that, and now you know it's funny too,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: because you talk about this. We're on the hip hop station,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the hip Hop Beef. You know, it seems like, uh,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of comics come at Kevin, and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I can go from the comedy aspect Kevin Harry. I
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: just I don't know what the goal is when people
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: come after Kevin, you know what I mean. I don't
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: get it either. Like I've seen Mike Epps do it?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Are spit like I don't. I don't. I don't understand
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: it because on the road with Mike Apps, has he
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: ever discussed that, like, uh No, you know what it is?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I give everybody their space. I don't me honestly, Me
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and Mike's on the road so much and sometimes I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: don't even see them because I get on stage, I
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: get off, I leave, you know what I mean. If
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you're going to be doing movies with Kevin Hart, you
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: can't be out here, you know the cheese. I just
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: be cool with everybody. Perfect example is Kevin's School with
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Drake and mcmill and they're they're arguing Kevin's School with
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: both of them. I just I've worked with all those
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: guys so much. I just like, guys, there's so much
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: out there for all of us. Kevin can actually give
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Drake at vices in that department because Ari Spree has
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: got on Sway Show and said the exact same thing.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Kevin as writer is right, there's a different though. I
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: liked Kevin's response because he said, you know, no, I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: got my boys and I'm comfortable with and we'll just
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: you know, you run stuff together. It's no different than
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I got the same opener for the last three years.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I go, we always talk like I watched Zak and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: be like, hey man, don't say this or tag this,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: or do this joke lass and do this joke first,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: move it around a little bit. I always say. When
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you're with me on the road, I go, like, if
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: we're Carolines and we got six shows this week, I go,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: if you do the same show every night, verbatim, I said,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you're you're cashing the check. You're not trying to put
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: yourself and move it around a bit, like I'll do,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: like the joke that is my clothes. I'll do it first,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and then I'll flip it around just to mess around,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: because it's a club, you know what I mean. There's
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: no cameras in the clubs. Have you been pitching any
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: television shows or I know you've done a lot as
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: comedy specials. Yeah, we you know, me and uh Me
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and pack Will Packer went out last year to all
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the networks and I thought we had a great show,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: but for some reason they passed. And Will said it.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: He goes, the problem with you, Gary is nobody doesn't
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: know what to do with you. They go because you're
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the white black guy. Well and to that, But I'm
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: still white, he goes. You'd be better off if you
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: acted more black. He goes, but you're so accepted with
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: black people, but you're still white. He don't. You're the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: only guy. He We said it in Vegas when we
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: were shooting thing like a man. He goes. Everyone go
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to the casino clubs. They go, Gary knew where all
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the hood stuff was, and he's just being there blending in.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Hey guys, come on, yeah here the Hennessey. I got it.

• 12:02
  Speaker 1: that's why, that's why she fell for me. And she goes,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: you wasn't trying to be nobody else. She goes, and she,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I said, why did you fall from me? Because my
