3:55
everything to me
4:08
and I'll let you know when it's
4:10
happening you'll hear all the [ __ ] about
4:12
it I feel used right there
4:14
you know I did I did you dirty you get
4:17
me dirty okay what's your what's your
4:19
thoughts on the institution of marriage
4:21
you talking to the wrong [ __ ] I am 50
4:23
and never even I bought a ring once
4:26
and started laughing this is how uh it's
4:30
just like you know what it is oh man why
4:33
are you asking this hot question
4:36
and Duncan I mean
4:40
a horse bro [ __ ] horse
4:43
marriage for me
4:47
this time with the liquor he can't say I
4:50
smell like tequila
4:52
hot button words like marriage
5:01
I feel like well here's the thing I
5:03
wanna
5:04
that's something I want to do right yeah
5:07
I've never done it
5:09
I'm 50. I've never done it and the
5:11
reason why I never did it and it's gonna
5:13
sound crazy because I never wanted to
5:16
cheat on my wife and I just feel like
5:19
it's not the breaking up
5:23
it's the lies I don't want to lie to my
5:26
wife I wanna my wife to know me to love
5:31
me and If Ever I step outside I could be
5:34
like I could have a conversation with my
5:36
wife about it and we gonna stay together
5:38
I'm not afraid of being truthful and
5:42
being transparent I'm afraid of the
5:44
reaction of that and having to lose my
5:47
best friend I never felt like there
5:50
comes a point in your life where you get
5:52
that material where you meet that person
5:54
that just that gets you it's like people
5:57
want you to be what they want you to be
5:59
they don't want you to just be you and
6:02
that's hard to do because you have to
6:03
find somebody that just accepts who you
6:06
are and wants to better you but they
6:08
don't blame you for being you love is
6:10
peace and I just want to be able to just
6:12
like that Indian dude says you're the
6:15
love and sharing it's not a possession
6:18
and love you're into sharing what's that
6:21
dude's name
6:30
he'd be talking to me because you're
6:32
right it's not fair for us to think that
6:35
somebody's supposed to assign themselves
6:37
to you I'm not a moon I'm a son I'm not
6:41
a moon ass [ __ ] some [ __ ] could just
6:43
be there what's the difference
6:45
okay in in that way and their whole life
6:49
becomes that thing my my vibration my
6:53
frequency I'm I'm Stellar in that I'm
6:57
born in a family that is a tribe there's
7:00
I have five brothers I got five sisters
7:02
I have 45 nephews and nieces I got I got
7:06
so many people to love I got friends
7:09
from four to five decades I got friends
7:12
from childhood friends from college
7:14
friends from high school friends in the
7:16
industry my world is too big to ever
7:19
think that I can assign myself to one
7:22
person and then all those other people
7:24
are shut out I can't do that that I
7:27
don't want to live in anxiety I want to
7:29
live in my my smile and my smile means
7:34
that I could love all the people that I
7:36
love and not have to choose okay and if
7:38
I have to choose if that's what marriage
7:39
is and that's disrespectful for some
7:42
people if I do this or that then it's
7:44
not going to work for me I gotta be me
7:46
and I gotta shine and if the sun shine
7:49
on you all day long it will burn your
7:51
[ __ ] face let me go shine on you for
7:54
this amount of time then I gotta go over
7:55
here then I gotta be over there [ __ ] I
7:57
can't stop my life to just be your moon
8:00
it will kill me and I won't be happy
8:04
that was a most beautiful answer yeah
8:15
you got some Hot Grits on your chest
8:17
Yeah so basically
8:20
customize yourself it was okay for me
8:25
what are your thoughts on monogamy
8:28
I think monogamy
8:31
as long as it's truth you should be
8:34
honest about what you're able to do and
8:37
what you can't do I I don't mind
8:39
monogamy I think some people it's made
8:42
for monogamy that's for them but I'm not
8:45
mad at anybody who's polyamorous I mean
8:47
everybody I'm not mad at any kind of
8:50
anything you want to call love love is
8:53
not black or white what we've learned in
8:55
this whole
8:57
last 20 years this gen Z is teaching us
9:00
some other [ __ ] they really are they on
9:01
some other [ __ ] yeah my daughter [ __ ]
9:04
my whole head up she was like she
9:06
complicating it right so she was like
9:08
she's like Dad I think I'm bi then she
9:10
was like Dad I think I'm gay and then
9:12
she was like that I think I'm day and
9:15
I'm like oh [ __ ] what what you mean hey
9:17
well I'm I'm she changed her plurals and
9:20
[ __ ] I mean he they changed their
9:22
plurals and I got to thinking I was like
9:25
that's [ __ ] brilliant why
9:28
because I'm a father and I don't care
9:30
what I call you what name you change
9:32
yourself to I just love you
9:37
I don't care what how you assigned are
9:39
you happy are you smiling or is is your
9:43
partner good to you are you feeling good
9:45
in your skin great I don't think that
9:48
should just be for fathers I think
9:49
children need to love fathers the same
9:51
way mothers the same way people aren't
9:55
[ __ ] perfect we are a bunch of
9:57
imperfect damaged people damaged people
9:59
damaging people and at some point we
10:01
have to realize that nobody's [ __ ]
10:03
perfect we should all recognize that and
10:06
stop trying to make people what you want
10:08
them to be and just love me for who the
10:09
[ __ ] I am we're all different we are a
10:12
bunch of snowflakes from falling from
10:13
the sky you ain't gonna find two alike
10:16
but what you will find is snow is a
10:19
whole [ __ ] lot to [ __ ] play with
10:21
and it's great to make snowballs and
10:23
snowmen with what I'm saying is it's
10:25
okay to be an individual it's okay to
10:28
gather and it's okay to accept people
10:29
for whoever the [ __ ] they are and if you
10:31
got a problem with accepting somebody
10:32
for who they are then the problems not
10:34
on them it's on you so I don't want want
10:37
to make somebody into something that I
10:40
want to love I want them to be them and
10:42
I just love you now can I have that same
10:44
[ __ ] piece absolutely Marlon Williams
10:57

that's my brother shout out to Steve
11:02
Harvey am I right now too many people
11:03
you know Steve Harvey horse
11:07

11:09
that you just broke down
11:10

12:03
doesn't evolved approach so shout out to
12:05
the way that you accepted your child and
12:07
I I'm just curious because you talked
12:09
about gen Z you talk about this new
12:11
generation did they inform your decision
12:13
or were you already evolved to that
12:16
point they informed my decision my child
12:20
my children have been a part of my
12:23
Evolution as a human as they grow up we
12:26
grow together they teach me things that
12:29
my generation didn't even understand
12:31
like like this first of all this shame

saying they teach me how to tell jokes
13:10
better because the joke isn't to offend
13:12
you the purpose of a joke is to bring us
13:15
all together to find a way to tell that
13:18
one joke it's not this not you can't say
13:20
to Joe it says this is how you say the
