love to i just talked
to waylon jennings for a moment because i had a great story about him because

wanted to tell waylon
jennings the stories of this publicist lady goes i'm sure he'd love to meet you
too i'm like
that i don't know who i am like she's like yeah i bet he does i'm like no he
doesn't i'm like

standing in the
in the back you know looking as he finishes his set uh and uh he comes out and
you see this lady
talking to him he's like why he's like huh he's like talking to him in his ear

off the stage and i have this big thing i'm about i have you know memorized to
say to him this big
touching story about me and my dad and i'm like oh so i go it's a pleasure to
meet you uh mr jennings
he goes it's a pleasure to meet you i've enjoyed you on late night television
and also in the situation
comedy
do they write off your imdb yeah direct everything all right tell the bill cosby
story
uh bill cosby you know i've met bill cosby as my hero and stuff so uh so i was
opening for him and uh
i'll try to make this short but uh i was opening for him and uh he said uh i
said you know when i was
young uh you know my you're my favorite comic and i listened to you with my dad
you know he goes where
do you live i go what and i go uh well my dad lives in ottawa you know he goes
he goes i think i'm going
to ottawa you had a guy with him he goes herb when am i ottawa and uh so herb
goes yes he understands
everything cosby says you know even though cosby just uses nouns at this point
and uh so he says yes
we're in ottawa in uh in august and he goes man's father ottawa he goes yeah
yes definitely we'll get
him back to you know stage yes mr cosby he says yes we will take him to the
stage into the back and
the man will have and we will give him a man's father and so he's writing it
down you know and then
he says the man has to become the phone number for the man so then he gives me
a piece of paper
you know to write down my dad's phone number and then he said he says the man
needs pen with paper with
pen so then the guy gets a pen so uh then uh and then at that point i remember
my dad has been dead for
15 years so uh but i didn't want to tell him i didn't want to say oh yeah my
dad's dead and then
ruined the fun moment so i just wrote down like i knew the ottawa you know the
area code then i wrote
down uh seven random digits so bill because we'll have the man and all this so
