[Bit 1]

So I'm 45 years old,

and on top of looking like Ian Fidantial Ruined,

the thing that sucks the most for me

is all the things that I loved when I was a kid are ruined.

You know what I loved?

Bill Cosby.

And I know that shit sounds mental to say nowadays,

but, like, I grew up with Bill Cosby.

I watched all of his shows,

"Kisseday the Darnest Things," "Fat Albert,"

"The Cosby Show," and all of these shows

had lessons that taught you how to be a good person,

ironically, from Bill Cosby, you know?

Like, he was my hero, right?

So the allegations came out, I couldn't believe it.

I was like, "That's America's dad."

And the evidence came out, and I was like,

"Fuckin' Bill."

But even though I couldn't defend him,

there were people who said dumb shit like,

"Well, it happened so long ago.

What does it even matter?"

And fuck those people, all right?

Bill Cosby's gonna be remembered

for all the bad shit that he did,

'cause he wasn't on the Lakers.

"Hey, maybe if Bill had a fist full of rings

instead of a fist full of Quailoons."

"Ah, maybe we could overlook a couple of things," you know?
