Did anyone notice when he mentioned moving to the trailer parks, some people laughed, and he winced? That trauma is still there. I live in Oxford (where Gary grew up) and we all definitely see him as a success story. Gary if you see this - we’re all so proud of you and you’re an inspiration to me personally to never give up on my dreams!! ❤
Gary! Yes. There is some of us that never have and may never meet a person successful, such as yourself with the straight it takes to get enough past all the things we go through in life and come out on the other side standing. You are standing, and I'm proud of you.
I'm from the trailer park too. People don't think blacks grew up in trailer parks but I'm here to attest to getting punched in the back of the knees by the black boys around my age: and falling on the front of my knees crying for my life; and getting chased by old, racist white men's dogs after they've been sicced after me. It was the best of both worlds. 🤷🏿♀️🥂😐
@@theautumnalcyclist7629 Yes, I agree with your comment. I just think that so many Black people identify with Gary's upbringing and that is why he seems like family to many of his Black supporters, imo!!!
Damn, for the first time ever, I hear someone describe my relationship with my mom I could never comprehend how kids would love their mom so much because that just didn't exist for me It made me jealous and really messed me up My outlet is music and now I'm a dad so I do everything I can to make sure my little girl knows I love her So glad Gary has his outlet too. Comedy is therapy The arts allow us to take pain and negative things and turn them into joy and positivity Well done and thank you, my G 👊
Lmfaooooooo, everybody needs a Chris. Chris is a good friend. He kept it a buck but didn’t invalidate his mom 😂 Everybody inGary position needs a Chris 😂
While I didn't grow up in Oxford, I can really relate to 'oh, yeah...your mom does it'...mine thought 'for appearance sake' she had to 'marry them' first...that was, until that 11th marriage, where the judge literally forbid her from marrying in the state again. Some she married were cool, others were 'beaters', and so many 'for the moment' step siblings I can't even count them. My father died when I was really young, and she passed on when I was 16...had no one else to raise me, so I 'floated' for 2-years until I could join the Marine Corps...A tremendous wife (now of 38 years) and several college degrees that led to a top-end professional life...I made 'magic' out of a failure of a rigged game...but it's few that can accomplish that. I really admire Gary for what I know for a fact, was a painful life.
Omg. How long ago was that (the multiple marriages)? We talking like the 50s/60s? Are you close with any of your siblings now? Well done on turning your life around!
Even the crowd feel bad for him. That poor baby.😢😢 But at least he got a decent career out of it. I recently got a sticker for my laptop that says Bad Decisions Make Good Stories. So true.
Comedians have the gift to turn tragedy into comedy and this set is a perfect example of this. Still, I find myself feeling empathy for Gary as a kid instead of simply laughing.
@@-_ShayraAnastasyaShafwani she went viral for talking about him cheating on her and she claimed that supposedly Claudia Jordan was involved somehow. Gary even talked about it on the Wendy Williams show but briefly lol
Fr when my mom died, I was devastated like I lost my best friend & biggest supporter. & this girl told me, I should be happy I even had those 21 years of good memories with her bc some people's moms are still alive & they never had a close, loving relationship with theirs to even know what that's like. I mean it didn't make my loss hurt any less, but it just helped me be more appreciative of the time I had w her than angry or depressed over the time I won't have anymore. I hope you break the negative cycle if/when you have kids one day
For everyone feeling bad for him. I understand. I will say though that being able to share his pain through comedy is a cathartic process. It is ok to laugh because if you don’t they might not have a way to process and share their issues in honesty. Comedians are like drama masks. It’s either laughing or crying. It’s why all of your depressed friends are funny as shit. It’s how they cope. It’s how they find a palatable way to explain their problems to others. If you make it funny then people are more likely to feel comfortable listening when you just need to rant. It’s like therapy being able to make people laugh while you are just losing your mind. Just remember to check on your funny friends because that big smile might be there to distract you from the tears.
My new fav channel. I miss home so much and it’s nice to see the humor and hear stories that capture my 513 experiences. All the while, laughing my ass off. 💯
I always made sure my kids had the world even if all i ever got was crums. I cried so many nights starving, but I made sure they ate, and they would ask are you gonna eat with us, no baby I will sit with you on this table but mommie is not hungry, bs I was starving, but we did not have much food left so I wanted to make sure it lasted them till my next paycheck, if I ate then they would starve, so I did the right thing, I let them eat and i starved , everything I did for my kids, and today I have consequences with my health because of it, but boy i will do it again and again, my kids are my life i love them I deeply love them so much, without them I Am not complete.
Well.....at least you found out that way instead of waking up to noises in the middle of the night and her accidentally leaving the bedroom door unlocked.
More sad than funny. What's really sad is how society/the law assume kids are better off with the mother instead of the grandmother grandfather aunt uncle even the father in some cases.
We don’t know how his mom and dad ended up being that way so his grandparents probably aren’t shit either. But I agree there has to be at least 1 responsible adult in every family smh
Oh my this young man took life's experiences and turned it into comedy to survive. My hat off to him to not be bitter but use what's happen so other young people know they are not the only one's this happens to be Blessed in your life going forward ❤
Gary 😂😂😂 I’m so glad I’m not the only kid to go thru that AND Extorted extra shit added to do to take me to school too😂😂😂 I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this by now but I swear I laugh like it’s the first time I’ve ever seen it. Thank you for taking me down memory lane bro😂😂😂😂
So my grandson said, "Mom you don't have to get up in the morning to make Jet (his highschool age son) breakfast. Son, did I get up every morning to make you breakfast (until you graduated from high school) And to this day, my son is 46 my grandson is 21 and if they are at my house for any reason whatsoever I will be awake to provide breakfast lunch dinner midnight snack or cup of tea when they can't sleep. That's what my mom did so that's what I do
The next few generations going to have a lot of people with the same mindset. So many people mindlessly creating kids, indifferent to intolerant parent-child relationships going to become a norm
Many children in the last twenty years started as boots calls with girls who either wanted a child to love or couldn't afford an abortion. Now with Roe a thing of the past, those numbers will triple.
That's not anything that's happened recently though. Some people don't educate their kids and don't want schools or public health departments to educate them about using birth control to help prevent unwanted pregnancy. It starts with learning and teaching. People having unwanted kids likely happened from the very beginning and while it's unfortunate, it will continue until the very end. I'm 60 and until my mom died 17 years ago, I was reminded every damn day that I was a mistake.
Lmfao I feel for him but can super relate. All mom's don't love they're kids or make good mothers. I still love mine to death though, and still do everything in my power to make her happy. You only get one. It's not about how she treats me, it's about how I treat her. Just my personal opinion and experience.
