WEBVTT - Grammy Winner Explains His ONE Relationship with 3 Women

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, folks, it is Saturday, January seventeenth. Got a

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>date tonight? Neo doesn't need one with that. Welcome to

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>this episode of Amy and TJ. Look, bro, this has

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 1>been talked about a little bit and love relationships look

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>different for a lot of people. But for long time

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>now pop an R and B singer Neo, people have

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 1>been fascinated by the fact that he lives and is

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship with three women and they all live

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 1>under one roof and he's talking about it now.

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and a year ago, I think is when this

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 2>first came out, but he actually had four back then

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.240
<v Speaker 2>four girlfriends are down to three. He calls them his pyramid,

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 2>and it seems like if you look at his Instagram

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 2>and if you listen to the recent interview he just gave,

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 2>it's working for him. And people are fascinating because, as

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 2>many of us know, it's hard enough to just have

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>one significant other and make that relationship work.

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 3>How are you managing three.

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 2>At one time and everybody knows about each other. It's

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>just it's kind of head scratching, but it's kind of impressive, but.

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 1>It's just not traditional. Is that simply what it is?

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Anytime there is a relationship or something that goes against

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 1>whatever grain or whatever we have in our minds. A

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>relationship is supposed to look like. We question it, sometimes

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>we criticize it, but this certainly is a little outside

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>of what we would consider normal.

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Well it's also if they were to want to get married,

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>it would be illegal. So I think a lot of

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 2>people look at it as a moral or they look

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>at it not just as different or unique, but as

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 2>wrong or sinful. So you know, there are a lot

0:01:55.280 --> 0:02:01.639
<v Speaker 2>of people who look at his polyamorous relationship as he's wrong.

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>And so he's trying to I think, just don't I

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 2>know everyone uses this word over uses this word normalize it.

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 2>But I do think he's just saying, hey, we're happy.

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 3>Why do you all care?

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>There's why I am. He doesn't need to normalize anything.

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>If this works for you and this works for them,

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>knock yourself out. I always you've not hurt yourself and

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>hurting somebody else, then who am I? But I think

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>you're right. A lot of it is judgment, But yes,

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>he went it was this week right. The interview this

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>week was Sherry Shepherd, and he did. He spoke on

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>it and said a lot of things that jumped out,

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and certainly that made headlines.

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think it's interesting because he made it

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>very clear. He said he has three girlfriends, but he

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 2>has one relationship.

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 3>That kind of was.

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 2>It took a second for me to get my head

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>around that. Wait, Okay, you have three girlfriends, but you

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 2>have one relationship. So it's basically what's good for one

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 2>is good for all. It's a little confusing. He did

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>get into the details, but he wanted to make that

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 2>very clear.

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, is this a matter where one family is what

0:02:59.080 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>he's saying.

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 3>Kind of yes.

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he did describe them as having group dates,

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 2>that they all get there one on one time, but

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 2>that it is the collective that is the relationship, and

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 2>how the women get along with each other is just

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 2>as important as how he gets along with each of

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 2>them individually.

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>What was the show, Big Love, Big Love?

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 2>And then of course you have you know, plenty of

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>this in the more fundamentalist Mormon sex in the country.

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.959
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, a lot of people, I shouldn't say a

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 2>lot of people, but there are a number of people,

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 2>for either religious reasons or whatever reason, choose this lifestyle.

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>And I guess at this point we kind of just

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>moving beyond, but just assuming everybody knows who Neo is.

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>But this dude has been around for a couple of

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>decades now doing his thing on the R and B

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>charge misindependent, I think is a song.

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 3>That a lot of people love.

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>What was the one he has with Pitt Bull is

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>will give Me Everything Tonight?

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 2>That's him, forty six years old, been around, Mammy winning singers,

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 2>songwriter and produced Neo.

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I just thought everyone knew him, But you're right, maybe

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 2>everyone doesn't. But I feel like if you google him

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 2>even you know his face and you definitely know his music.

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>If you go look on Spotify or wherever you get

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>your music, put up Neo, You're.

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 3>Gonna be like, oh that song, Oh that song?

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 3>And I thought it was really interesting.

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people obviously want to know how it works,

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.600
<v Speaker 2>and that was a lot of the questions from Sherry Shepherd,

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 2>and my interest was how does that work? But I

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 2>thought it was interesting when he described when he decided

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 2>to do this and why he decided to do this.

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 2>He had been married for seven years and when he

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 2>went through this divorce and it was a very public

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 2>he called it a very public, ugly divorce, He said

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 2>that he made a decision to live a more open

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 2>and honest life, and so he was dating three different

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 2>women after his divorce, and he decided that he wanted

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.160
<v Speaker 2>to first make amends about what went wrong in his

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>marriage and then go forward in a very transparent way

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 2>in terms of how he dates.

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.280
<v Speaker 3>I thought that was cool, he said.

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>He said, I made the decision I was never going

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.839
<v Speaker 2>to tell another lie to a woman ever again in life.

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I own the thing that I did in that marriage

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 2>to mess it up. I own it completely. And I

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 2>decided I didn't want to be the reason that anybody

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 2>ever felt like that ever again.

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 3>What do you think about that?

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:37.839
<v Speaker 1>Well, I that's fine, right, But a decision has been

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you can make a decision to stay single and date

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 1>folks if you want to to find three people, three

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>women that you happen to be dating at the same time,

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>all who are on board with this seems wild to me.

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's a high percentage of women who

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>would say sure to something like this. So how he

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>pulled that off is of interest.

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 2>So okay, So he described it because Sherry Shepherd had

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot of questions.

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 3>She was great.

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 2>We love Sherry she asked all the right questions. She

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 2>asked all the questions that I was thinking as I

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 2>was watching this.

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, he was dating free women as people do

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 3>when they're single. They have their dating different folks.

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.359
<v Speaker 2>And he explained that one of the three women he

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.159
<v Speaker 2>had been dating longer than the others, enough so that

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 2>he actually decided to go to her first with this concept,

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 2>this polyamorous concept. And he said this is this is

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.600
<v Speaker 2>his verbatim. I basically went to her and said, listen,

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 2>you know I rock with you. You know I love you,

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 2>but I have to be honest with you. It's not

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 2>just you. I would love for you to meet these

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 2>other women and if we can figure out a way

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 2>to do something together, cool. If not, that's cool too.

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Take it or leave it. Yeah, and they decided to

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>take it.

0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 3>So that's what he said.

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 2>He said he let each woman decide if they wanted

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 2>to proceed together. His quote, everybody chose to stick around.

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 2>The main understanding is I'm not in three relationships. I'm

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>in one relationship with three people. And the women were

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 2>all on board with that concept.

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>If it works for them. I'm fascinated, I am curious.

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I have questions, I have all this stuff. But if

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>something works for them, it works for them. We've just

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>been around long enough to know to see. And it's

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>sometimes experience. It's folks lives and what they're going through

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>and how they're going through, how they choose to go through,

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 1>and what they can tolerate, and what they want and

0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 1>what fulfills. It's all different, and if this works, knock

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>yourself out.

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>The older I get, the more experience I've had in life,

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 2>the less judgmental I've become, period when it comes to relationships. Look,

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 2>when I was younger, I absolutely believed things I was.

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I had a very different approach to what I thought

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.119
<v Speaker 2>was the right thing or the wrong thing, what should happen,

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 2>what shouldn't happen. And once you live enough life you

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 2>realize what works for you doesn't necessarily work for someone else.

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>And who are you to impose that on someone else.

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 2>No one's being hurt in this. Everyone is a consenting adult.

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Everyone has made the decision. And I think there is

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 2>at least some I.

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.119
<v Speaker 3>Think not some. I think there's a lot to say

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 3>about being honest.

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 2>If you know you're not going to be monogamous, if

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 2>you know that you're not going to be okay or

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 2>satisfied with just one person.

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 3>It's far better to be honest about.

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 2>It than to try and pretend that you're or even

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 2>convince yourself that you're going to do something different.

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:47.560
<v Speaker 1>But someone who would come these conversations, whether it's a

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 1>man or a woman. At some point you have a

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>conversation with someone and say, hey, I'm seeing other people,

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm dating someone else. Yeah, maybe we should all form

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 1>a group. Is not usually the next thing.

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean here, look, I say all that, if you

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 2>came to me with that bit of information, or anyone

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 2>I was dating came to me with that information, I.

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 3>Know very quickly that I would be like you do

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 3>you I'm out? I mean, obviously hear.

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Me out, never be just hear me out. It's all

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I ask.

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 2>And I would hear you out, and then I would say,

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>that's so cool for you, But I want nothing to

0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:23.079
<v Speaker 2>do with it. There's zero chance, no, there's zero chance

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.439
<v Speaker 2>that I could handle that from It's just not what

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:26.959
<v Speaker 2>I want.

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>It's not what I want, and it's probably not what

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 1>most people want. But if that's what he wants, if

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>that if it's what they want, fine, do you know

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the ages of the women.

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 2>You know what, I don't. I know he's forty six.

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I could probably find that out after the break. But

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 2>he makes a very point, big point to say, we

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 2>it's about communication. We figure out ways to make everything work.

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 2>He said, each of his women gets their individual time,

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 2>even though group time is just as important. He was

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 2>talking about being on tour and he was like, you know,

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 2>one woman will come out for seven days, then the

0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 2>next woman will come out, then the next woman will

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 2>come out, and then the next week I'll have all

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.320
<v Speaker 2>of them come out together. But I just I'm just thinking,

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.199
<v Speaker 2>like if you want on those group dates, like what

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 2>is that? Like?

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Who is he sitting next to? Who's is he holding

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 3>everybody's hands?

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Main girl? That's a main one. Right.

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, there was the original, the og, but I don't

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 2>know that she has any more. Look, when we hear

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 2>some Mormon we've talked to some folks who've had polygamy

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 2>or have been in polygamy situations, and they do say

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.120
<v Speaker 2>the original wife usually has like the authority or has

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of higher name.

0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 1>What do they call it's something?

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 3>Is it first wife? Original wife?

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 2>You know what, I'm not embarrassed that I don't know,

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really well first in this, but the way

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 2>he described it, he didn't seem as though one woman

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 2>even he did mention obviously the original girlfriend or the

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 2>woman he had been dating the longest, he did go

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 2>to her first a little bit.

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>How does this work with the time? Do they all

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 1>get equal time? How does he givie? Did he explain

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the schedule?

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, he gave just an like an example of going

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 2>out on tour and having having everyone having their own week.

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>So it's very important about the sleeping arrangements.

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 3>I didn't get that. I just know I didn't get.

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 2>So it's I'm looking for their exact age is actually

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 2>right now. One of them, they said, was thirty one.

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 2>But they don't know a lot about these women. Yeah,

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 2>so they are grown women, Oh for sure. They're not like,

0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, barely of age. No, these are women who

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 2>are old enough to make decisions and have lived enough life.

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.479
<v Speaker 3>And you see the pictures of them, they're not some young.

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 1>But they're all under one roof, right.

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, from what I understand, they all go out together,

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 2>they all hang out together. They share an Alaskan king.

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.119
<v Speaker 3>Bed together four.

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.320
<v Speaker 2>That is at least a part of their relationship that

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 2>they share an Alaskan king bed. What's in Alaskin bed

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 2>versus a calib I know what a California king bed is?

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Is an Alaskan king bed even bigger than a I've

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 2>never California. E News is saying that they share an

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Alaskan king sized bed.

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:10.199
<v Speaker 3>In his house.

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 1>The massive square mattress.

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 2>It's like two California Kings next to each other. This

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.080
<v Speaker 2>is what Neo has explained. You have to get the

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>mattress made, like you have to get a custom mattress made.

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess you would.

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's hard enough sleeping next to one person. I

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 2>think for all the different reasons. Why because we all

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 2>have our own interests, so or what makes us sleep

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 2>better and what wakes us up?

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Y'd?

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 3>Can you imagine four people in one bed?

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.560
<v Speaker 1>See? This is where people This is where people get

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>fascinated by the questions and the debates and poking a

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.719
<v Speaker 1>little fun and all these things that a couple one

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 1>on one has issues with. Who's gonna cook tonight, who's

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.240
<v Speaker 1>taking out the trash, what is the temperature when we

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 1>go to bed at night? The sheets, all these things.

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>How do you divide out about three are women, who

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>are you snuggling with? Who spoons? Whom? Are you all

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>all spooning one direction and then you all turn and

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>spoon the other direction? Is he in the middle? Who

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 1>gets the remote? How does this work?

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:11.559
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Someone doesn't get a bedside table or two people don't

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.439
<v Speaker 2>like That's a tough situation.

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 1>You would also ask Robes about their sexual relationship. Is

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.400
<v Speaker 1>this is he always one on one or this is

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 1>just something that they all participate.

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 3>In that I don't know.

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Those are questions not you're fascinated by this.

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 3>We need to have Neo on the show.

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 2>We need to see if we can get him on

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>and get in to all of these very important questions

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 2>that we need to know now when we come back,

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.559
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you this. When he talked to Sherry Shepherd,

0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 2>she asked, how do you handle holidays like Valentine's Day?

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 2>And how about this question? What are the rules for

0:13:54.520 --> 0:14:10.319
<v Speaker 2>the women? Can they date other people? And welcome back everyone.

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 2>We continue our conversation about the fascinating polyamorous relationship that

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Neo has because it's one relationship, but it's three women,

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>and he talked about it at length with Sherry Shepard.

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 2>This week and I couldn't get enough. We have so

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 2>many follow ups that we would like to ask Neo.

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 2>But here's what we did find out. How do you

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 2>handle a holiday like Valentine's Day?

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 2>So he said his big point is he doesn't do

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 2>blanket stuff like everybody gets red roses or everybody gets chocolates.

0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 2>He gives individual gifts for each woman based on what

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 2>they like, so that everyone feels special on the day.

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 2>And he makes a point there are no group gifts.

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 2>There are no everyone gets that one on one attention

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the actual holiday or gift giving situation.

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 2>But I imagine on the holiday itself. He I mean,

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.440
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna have to just one day, so I guess that's.

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 3>A group date.

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 2>But they talk, You talk about how group time is

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 2>very important. That seems like a lot of work.

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.400
<v Speaker 1>It is. It is a lot of war. One relationship

0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 1>is difficult. I just I can't imagine managing because they're

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 1>human beings, they're women, and they're just no matter what

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you agree to. That's three personalities, three people who need

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 1>something right, they need some type of human interaction. And

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>now are the women do they support each other? Are

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 1>they all good friends, spend a lot of time.

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Again, Yep, he said that's a huge part of it.

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 2>That they have to be that that's key to making

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 2>it work. And that does make a lot of sense. Obviously,

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 2>you could not have jealousy or any sort of issue

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 2>going on among the women, or at least between two

0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 2>of the women, because that would ruin.

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Every What about chores, household responsibilities of people? Is it

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 1>divided up? Yeah?

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 3>I think they all kind of do their thing.

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 2>He just talked about how they make it work, that

0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 2>they all talk to one another. Big question, what are

0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the rules for the women? Can they date others? So

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Sherry asked him directly, Neo, can your girlfriends date other men?

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 2>He quickly, and it was described as curtly, replied no, no.

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:15.360
<v Speaker 3>And here was his exact quote.

0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I've made no request for exclusivity of any of these women.

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't ask for them to be with me. They

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 2>said they want to be with me. They gave me

0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.800
<v Speaker 2>their exclusivity, meaning if you give it to me, it's mine.

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 2>I deal with partnership as opposed to ownership. But if

0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 2>the exclusivity is mine, it's mine.

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:37.560
<v Speaker 3>Damn.

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 1>You should have led with that.

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:45.119
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not gonna say I'm possessive, but I'm possessive.

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh he's not. He accepted what was given to him.

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.680
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly what he said, and I took it. I

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't demand it. I didn't say they had to. But

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.440
<v Speaker 2>once they gave it to me, now it's mine.

0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like Machado and the Nobel Prize to

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 1>drum An asked for it, but you know, what, the

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 1>hell with it. I'll take it, I mean, and so

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 1>it's his now.

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I guess you're right. That is a pretty uh.

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 3>But here's the deal.

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 2>We hear about polyamorous relationships, you know, often enough, and

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 2>people talk about it more now than they ever have before.

0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:21.439
<v Speaker 2>But have you ever heard of anything like this in

0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.440
<v Speaker 2>reverse where.

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 1>A woman has It's probably going to be an episode

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:29.480
<v Speaker 1>of this next Season's all fair.

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I would feel like someone would end.

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Up dead a woman that we are. This is the

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.440
<v Speaker 1>best answer I have. That's just not how things work,

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 1>That's all I got.

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:49.040
<v Speaker 2>No man would be willing to share his woman with

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 2>another man?

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Is that?

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.439
<v Speaker 3>And why are women willing to share their man with

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 3>another one?

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 1>This is rare? This? Come on, this is rare. This is.

0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you find it. I don't. I don't

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.160
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of women in my life that are

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 1>willing to do that. But no, I'm trying to think

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.639
<v Speaker 1>of some trying to put some woman in this category,

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.919
<v Speaker 1>some hip hop singer or some R and B singer

0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:12.919
<v Speaker 1>who who could have.

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 3>Men like Madonna or like back in the day. But

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.200
<v Speaker 3>still I don't think. I don't think it would work.

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 3>There's two men would not live in the same house.

0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 1>That was a good call. Madonna could pull it off. Damn,

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:26.200
<v Speaker 1>that's a good call.

0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 3>That was the only person I could think of all

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.880
<v Speaker 3>possibly do it. Oh my goodness.

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, and this kind of sums up

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 2>where he is when he first came out publicly, I

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 2>should just say on social media and that was when

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 2>he had his four girls at one point and he

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.359
<v Speaker 2>just said, say something nice or move on with your life.

0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 3>We happy over here. And so that's just kind of

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 3>how he basically summed it up. We're happy. What are

0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:53.159
<v Speaker 3>y'all talking about?

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Good for you, you know what.

0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.440
<v Speaker 2>I would like to stay up on this though, And

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:00.760
<v Speaker 2>so he was from four to three three, but he

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.280
<v Speaker 2>still has the original three. I would loved it like

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.200
<v Speaker 2>a year from now, still still good. Like I am so.

0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Curious, it'd be down to two or maybe up to six. Yeah. No,

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 1>and I love this brother. Uh yeah. Have I told

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you the Neo story? The night out with Neo?

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Wait, you might have a little Can you refresh my memory?

0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.639
<v Speaker 1>It started at Pots and Oe in Midtown, Yes, and

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I was with Chuck and the three of us and

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 1>we ended up out and I ended up leaving a

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:33.720
<v Speaker 1>club scared that night partying with Neo. I ran out

0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:35.879
<v Speaker 1>of a VIP that gets me out of here.

0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 3>What was so scary?

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you when we get over.

0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay, because you knew I was gonna ask.

0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:43.159
<v Speaker 1>But yes, I have always we're all a fan of

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.439
<v Speaker 1>his music. This is out of left field, you know.

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I hated to see what he went through because I was.

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.239
<v Speaker 1>We were in Atlanta at the same time, and we

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:50.560
<v Speaker 1>went through with his wife.

0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:51.199
<v Speaker 3>The ugly divorce.

0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.239
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and he had three kids with her, and I

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.560
<v Speaker 2>believe two kids with two other women.

0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.320
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I mean that that gets complicated.

0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.400
<v Speaker 1>But if he's figured something out, then good for more

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.200
<v Speaker 1>power to him. But yes, I want to follow up.

0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:06.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious about all types of relationships. What was the

0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.600
<v Speaker 1>one the mixed orientation couple.

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 3>You remember that they just had a baby.

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 1>See, that's fascinating. We've got to follow up with him.

0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:19.359
<v Speaker 1>So the point being love looks all kinds of ways

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 1>and that's okay, and be curious instead of judgmental. Can't

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:23.400
<v Speaker 1>we do that first?

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes? And you know what, We've got our love story

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:27.040
<v Speaker 2>series that we're going to try to put together again

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 2>for this Valentine's Day season where we talked to couples

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:34.840
<v Speaker 2>from all different walks of life, different age gaps, different

0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:40.000
<v Speaker 2>religious We try to get them like old, young, long, new,

0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.840
<v Speaker 2>all of that. But we should at some point try

0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:47.160
<v Speaker 2>to get Neo and his girls on the show.

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 1>We need to get some more microphones. All right, folks,
