And he goes, \u2018What you talk about, I can\u2019t touch. I can\u2019t believe in it.\u2019\u201d (~8:45) After calmly listening to his critic \u2014 \u201cthe guy was all mad, thinks that I was full of s***\u201d \u2014 Gary broke in: \u201cDo you believe in God?... You\u2019re not touching God. That\u2019s brand.
