You know, when I'm young, kids really 29 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 3: got the natural swag, like he'd be putting me up 30 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 3: on the new game and stuff. And the dope thing 31 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 3: is he's a rapper, but he's also a producer too, 32 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 3: so he's really into that space of like making beats 33 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 3: and DJing and gaming and all that stuff. If he 34 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 3: wants to do that, I see he really got it. 35 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 3: He y'all see him rocking them stages doing it every 36 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 3: now on tour with his mom. 37 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 5: So that's pressure, all right, because he's Nick Cannon's damn right. 38 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: There's no pressure of being Nick Cannon's You're still a superstar, 39 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 3: but now being Mariah's daughter and singing yes true, that's 40 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: the press.

So every time I got one thing rightly, 501 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 3: I get a blood clot here or a pulmonary embolism. 502 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 3: I couldn't like my lungs. 503 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 5: Like. 504 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 3: So once I got to this space of like, all right, 505 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 3: I figured out, you know, how to stay healthy and 506 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 3: how to stay alive, then it's like that's the constant 507 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 3: reminder of like you gotta do something with this. You 508 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 3: got to turn your pain into purpose, And for me 509 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 3: that became helping others, like and you know, you go 510 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 3: through this this spiritual transition of like all the things 511 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 3: that feed me are probably not the best for me. 512 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 3: But when I'm feeding others, that's when I feel the healthiest, 513 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 3: That's when I feel the drive to do so. Now 514 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 3: I live in that space, I'm like, all right, what 515 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 3: can I do to make the world a better place? 516 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 3: What can I do to lend a hand to the 517 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 3: next artist? And you know that's you know, that's that 518 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 3: that's that healthy journey for me to where it gives 519 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 3: me that drive because I don't feel like I'm busy. 520 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 3: I don't feel like I'm doing too much. I feel like, yo, 521 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 3: this is this is my calling. This is where I'm 522 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 3: supposed to go with it. So, you know, hopefully, however 523 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 3: many more years I got left I keep rocking. 524 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 5: Was that the reason you started having so many kids? 525 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 3: People say that I don't know, like if I if 526 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 3: I took the spiritual. 527 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: You might have said it in an interviewer, joked around. 528 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 3: But if I'm being serious, it wasn't like I set 529 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 3: out to do it. It probably got to that space 530 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 3: of like, I value being a father, I value life, 531 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 3: So I was I was never against the concept. And 532 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 3: if we want to have deeper conversations about you know, 533 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 3: like what I talk about in therapy and even as 534 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 3: as men. It's like there are those times and we've 535 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 3: been you know, I call it access to access. I 536 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 3: have the ability to do my thing and pro and 537 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 3: a lot of others. Probably I could I could have stopped, 538 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 3: you know, and and or even not had the children, 539 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 3: but I was welcoming the idea of it and was 540 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 3: never against it. So you know, I've worked through a 541 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 3: lot of that through therapy of like, yeah, I love 542 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 3: being a father, I love the life that they give 543 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 3: me life. But and I could have made some other decisions, 544 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 3: you know, with the mothers of my children, but I 545 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 3: was one of those things, like I want to have 546 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 3: these kids and as many kids as I possibly can, 547 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 3: because you know, I come from that mentality of like, 548 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 3: as long as I could take care of my tribe 549 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 3: and we can live in an abundant way, that's how 550 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 3: I want to be there. And then you know, you 551 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 3: we go through those you know, everybody has challenges, you know, 552 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 3: and nobody it's I don't want everybody to feel like, oh, 553 00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 3: I got it all the way figured out and I'm 554 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 3: just out here having babies and everybody's good, like, but 555 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 3: every family goes through their process and you know whether 556 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 3: you want to be from a judgmental standpoint or whatever, 557 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 3: it's like you you cannot deny the love that goes 558 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 3: on and how much I care for my family, and 559 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 3: you know, hopefully you know at the end of the day, 560 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 3: the only people that would be able to tell you 561 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 3: if I was a good dad or not are my children. 562 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: How do you feel about that with people being so judgmental, 563 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: you know, saying that you have so many kids, and 564 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: how people possibly raise these kids and be at their 565 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: games and be at their recitals and. 566 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 3: Watch me do the work like there's I don't And 567 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 3: that's what I said. At the end of the day, 568 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 3: the only people that really matter, the only opinion is 569 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 3: going to be my kids and I. Through therapy, It's 570 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 3: like I've realized at some point, you know, I'm not 571 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 3: gonna get it right every time. But as everybody knows 572 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 3: that I'm doing my best and being the best father 573 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 3: that I can possibly be considering the circumstances, then and 574 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 3: I live that, I stick my chest out of it. 575 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 3: It's gonna be sometimes I fall flat, like am I did? 576 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 5: I did? 577 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 3: I didn't do that one correctly. This is more challenging 578 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 3: if I if I wasn't spread so thin, but it's 579 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 3: all rooted in the space of like, I'm trying to 580 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 3: give you my all and I'm trying to be my best. 581 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 3: So regardless, you know, I say people say, people's opinions 582 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 3: about me is none of my business. And and if anything, 583 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 3: I take that that low frequency energy and shifted to 584 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 3: where it's like I keep talking because I'm doing the work. 585 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 3: How you?

Now, obviously the 718 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,479 Speaker 3: interaction is going to be completely different because somebody I'm 719 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 3: romantically involved with or intimate with, I'm gonna have a 720 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 3: certain level of connection with them than I do with 721 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 3: somebody I don't, and I just co parent with So 722 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 3: even at you know, at the highest level, you know, 723 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 3: the world has witnessed, you know, Mariah be in relationships 724 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 3: and it's always been loved.

So I don't have a problem with I. 728 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 3: And I go back to how I always talk when 729 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 3: I was like I only I like who liked me? 730 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 3: Like if you park with me, I'm fucking with you. 731 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 3: If you how some someone else, then that's what the 732 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 3: energy is.

Right, I feel you name, But 749 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 8: let's talk Nick. 750 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 2: Want to get married? Do you look at you again? 751 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 3: Absolutely? I mean because last time I got I used 752 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 3: my words incorrectly. Last time we was having conversations, i'd 753 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 3: be forgetting the mixes on and ship and I said 754 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 3: it was a eurocentric concept with what I really meant 755 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 3: is the colonial aspect of marriage. It's it's a business, 756 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 3: and I've been in that business before. I don't want 757 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 3: to be in that business no more. It's so much paperwork. 758 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 3: I don't want the government to be involved with my 759 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 3: love life. I shouldn't have to have a legal document 760 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 3: or a contractor to let someone know how much I 761 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 3: care for them. Now. I want to be their protector 762 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 3: and that provider. It's kind of like the child support system. 763 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 3: If you take care of your children, there's no need 764 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 3: for paperwork because I want I want my kids to 765 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 3: have everything that I own I want. I don't want 766 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 3: them to go without at all. I want them to 767 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 3: live an abundant life. So I don't need the government 768 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 3: to tell me the minimum that I need to pay, 769 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 3: because I'm gonna give them the maximum. So same thing 770 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 3: with love and marriage. If I fuck with you for life, 771 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 3: I don't need to be binded by a contract or 772 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 3: a ring. And therefore that's in the way those contracts 773 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 3: are designed. That's from a Roman Catholicism approach of how 774 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 3: we do it. There's ways to have unions and covenants 775 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 3: and marriages through so many other philosophies in life. Specifically, 776 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 3: you know in our African community from the diaspora, they 777 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 3: do it differently, and you know, I'm learning and understanding 778 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 3: those processes, but I know you go over to the continent, 779 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 3: it ain't about contracts, it ain't about paperwork and rings. 780 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 3: It's like, nah, this is this is my wife. This 781 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 3: is my wife, and however that moves around. So the 782 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 3: concept of the American society marriage, I'll never do that again. 783 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 3: But who's to say I can't find a life partner 784 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 3: that I'm a rock with. I'm we an old like 785 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 3: I'm were in that state where it's like, by the 786 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 3: time I'm in my sixties, I want to be on 787 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 3: an island or the top of a mountain in Tibet 788 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 3: somewhere with somebody I could rock with forever. 789 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 5: So I'm living like Kim Lyles actually told me a 790 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 5: long time ago. He said, I can't tell you to 791 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 5: get married, but I can tell you should always have 792 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 5: somebody to share your experiences with. I fuck with that 793 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 5: heavy like that. 794 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 3: I can see myself doing that. And then the fact 795 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 3: that people are like, oh, aren't you worried about getting lonely, 796 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 3: Like I got twelve kids, ain't never gonna be moving 797 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 3: somebody coming over, like But even with that, that's scary 798 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 3: too though, right because something where it said you spend 799 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,280 Speaker 3: seventy percent of all the time you're ever gonna spend 800 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 3: with your kids between one and eighteen, And. 801 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 5: When you think about it, that's truly true. How many 802 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 5: times you've probably seen your parents after you get it 803 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 5: an become an adult and you're out in the world 804 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 5: trying to pick things out. 805 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 3: And then even when you think about like the time 806 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 3: that they spend at school and sports and stuff like that. 807 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 3: There's other people with your children throughout the day more 808 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 3: than you are. And I'm learning that too, because I'm 809 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 3: trying to be present at all of these games, and 810 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 3: you know, I'm picking them up from school and knowing 811 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 3: the teachers and spending time at the recitals, and it's like, 812 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 3: I want them to at least see my presence there 813 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 3: because I know there's gonna be a time where I'm 814 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 3: on a film set for two months, There's gonna be 815 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,919 Speaker 3: time where I'm on tour over here.

And then even by the time you 821 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 3: get get to where you tired, they tired. You might 822 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 3: get to see your kids what from six to eight 823 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 3: and then y'all sleep and then again like so like 824 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 3: the average because with my with my therapist, we've done 825 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 3: the math on it. The average time that a parent 826 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 3: spends with their kids a day's less than three hours. 827 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,919 Speaker 3: And then when you think about it, like that's why 828 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 3: weekends are so important, that's why vacations are so important 829 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 3: because that's when they really get to know you, and 830 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 3: that's when you really get to it's all. It's about 831 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 3: the qualitative approach, and it's really about creating as many 832 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,760 Speaker 3: core memories in that amount of time that you possibly. 833 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 5: Your therapist talks about average parent, you ain't talking about your. 834 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 3: No because clearly, but that's what to me. I'm trying 835 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 3: to go above and beyond when it comes to that 836 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 3: that parenting aspect because I'm trying to create the best 837 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 3: core memories as possible, because core memories can be in 838 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 3: a positive light or in a negative light. So you know, 839 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,240 Speaker 3: I don't ever and that that's all about keeping your word. 840 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 3: That's all about managing expectations because if I tell my 841 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 3: kids something, I'm gonna make sure I do it. And 842 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 3: and you know, obviously I have a strong support team 843 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 3: that helped me accomplish a lot of that. But again, 844 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 3: you know, is as important as it is to sit 845 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 3: back and analyze these things through therapy. And I mean 846 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 3: you know this very well. It's like you're constantly trying 847 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 3: to grow. You're constantly trying to figure out how can 848 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 3: I be a better dad? And considering the circumstance. 849 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 2: We'll put you in therapy. Was it that dark time 850 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 2: or a. 851 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 3: Lot of it? I mean I started growing to therapy 852 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 3: early on with like church, you know, and you and 853 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 3: that that's not I don't say that's not real therapy, 854 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 3: but that's like your entry, you know, way to be like, oh, 855 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 3: I can sit and talk with a pastor social groups 856 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 3: that kind of understand what we're going through. And then 857 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 3: I start going to facilities of incarceration prisons when I 858 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 3: was about I think it's two thousand and seven. We 859 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 3: started doing a lot of group therapy through that process, 860 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 3: and then I saw how these you know, young brothers 861 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 3: and sisters were really growing, and I was like, I'm 862 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 3: getting so much out of this and even watching this experience. 863 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 3: And then through relationship, like I started doing that probably 864 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 3: maybe five years after that, started working through it. And 865 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 3: then you know, once my health really sorry, I really 866 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 3: needed somebody to talk to because I ain't know if 867 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 3: I was gonna be living or dying and all that stuff, 868 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 3: and so I really really started taking a series like 869 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, and I mean, I know you're a huge 870 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 3: advocate for it. We got a new we got a 871 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 3: new platform that we're launching at the top of the year. 872 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 3: That's specifically about men in therapy and being vulnerable and 873 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 3: talking about you know, these processes. 874 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 5: But I was it like an apple or something. 875 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 3: It's an app, but it's also it's a new sho. 876 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 3: I'm gonna come back and talk about that one. That 877 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 3: one too, But it's it's it's something that where it's 878 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 3: it's something that you and I share pretty pretty deeply. 879 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 3: But man, I'm in therapy probably I probably go four 880 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 3: times a week.
