WEBVTT - Episode 372: Jumping Jacks with Omarion 0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.520 What's at the clip service. I'm Angela Ye maguire, I'm 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:10.119 Laura Maura Hey and a somarian. I'm so happy to 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:15.600 be in the presence of the queens. He did. If 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:17.279 you manage to get on Marian up here, because he 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.640 does have a book out right now. I'm bothered that 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:24.200 we use when um, when we be online and something happened, 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.880 but we went to be unbothered. But for you, it's 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.080 a real thing for sure, you know, and it's not 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:30.800 what people might think it is. And you start off 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.520 the book explaining what it means to be unbothered. Yes, 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.320 and UM, I think that this is a power tool, 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.880 you know what I mean, and a guide to emotional intelligence, 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.919 you know. Um, so far often you know what I mean, 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.920 we are reacting to things that really don't surf us. 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.159 You know what I'm saying. When you're thoughtful, you take 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.080 a step back and you decide to respond. It really 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.240 serves a lesson and a blessing. So you know, this 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.080 book is a tool for people that you know need 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.600 a little help. You know. Um, I have journal props 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:04.120 in there, I have mantras, I have breathing exercises, so 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.360 we fully tap in and go in word. You know 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.440 what I mean with this book. So if you're a 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.679 book buff, or even if you just want to level up, 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.080 you know what I mean, grab the book. It's amazing. 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.680 Now this is lip service. So how can these things 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:24.440 help in the bedroom too? Yeah? It all works. You know. 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.080 I would call that like really diving in. You know 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.480 what I'm saying to the physical and mental experience of love. 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.360 You know what I mean, Like we were talking about, 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.960 you know earlier. You know what I'm saying in reference 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.360 to love. In order to have those experiences and realize 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.280 those things, you got to actually like who you're with, 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.399 you know what I'm saying. Um, it goes past the 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.800 physical level. When you start doing breath work and you 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.200 start you know, speaking, you know about the things that 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.120 you know you collectively want, things you want to manifest. 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:58.680 You can really get into some interesting things as far 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:03.360 as you know, sex happen. You know, it's important who 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.240 you decide to partner up with two for sure, because 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:07.880 you always want to be with somebody that's going to 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.960 help you also level up and and hope you not 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.480 make bad decisions, you know, because sometimes you want to 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.320 jump out there and respond to certain things, But if 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.079 you have the right person, they'd be like all right 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:22.840 now listen, Yeah, I think that the importance of you know, 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.640 a relationship is a partnership. You know, it is a business, 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.960 you know what I'm saying. And in order to really 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.800 get into the success of that, you got to have 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.919 a lot of conversations, you know what I'm saying. You 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.000 gotta just really be honest about where you are and 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.359 you you know, the number one thing for me, you 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.800 got to be accountable, you know what I'm saying. As 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:45.640 uh as I'm matured, you know, um, just even entertaining 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.880 somebody that can't even admit that they're wrong, Like I'm 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.799 not interested in it, you know what I'm saying. So 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:54.160 maturity has definitely showed me the benefit of like, you know, 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.720 just really virobing with a person that's really on your level, 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.400 you know what I'm saying, Um, it really serves you both, 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.400 you know saying. So Yeah, being in the music business 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.280 from such a young age for yourself, right, did you 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.400 ever get tired of be like I'm tired of all 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.520 these girls Like I'm just you know, did you you 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.160 did a little celibacy thing too, did a little three 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:24.800 years it's not pregnant there like like three years were 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.640 like you didn't come at all? And three like did you? 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.720 Or is it like celebrate like with you with someone 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:33.000 else because I know, well in the book my first 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:37.400 year I actually had a girlfriend. Yeah, so um yeah, 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.080 I mean the three years it kind of transformed into 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:41.960 a few things for me. You know, it was really 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:46.840 mainly because you know, at the young age, you know, 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.880 when we came into the game, you know, this is 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.520 how they got us to not be horrors. Basically, they 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.200 would tell us the stories. And these stories would be 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.400 like you know a very prominent entertainers. I ain't gonna 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.400 name them, you know what I'm saying, And it would 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.520 be these stories. He's like as a kid when you 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.040 were here, you'd be like, what you know this girl, 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.680 you know, he being with this girl and she trying 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.760 to you know, used to come to get pregnant, and yeah, 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.040 you know what I'm saying. It was. It was things 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.320 that when they show you that driving school and they 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.360 show you like to add that highway and death movie rights, 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.800 you got to be careful exactly. So we got that 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.960 talk you know, early on. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.080 So we we never you know, up until a time, 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:26.400 you know what i mean, when it was time for 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.679 us to have our experiences. But you know, we were 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.279 like always had one girlfriend and stuff like that, you 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.640 know what I'm saying, until later on, you know what 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.440 i mean. But my southern pacy looked like, you know, 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.400 three phases. It was like the first phase, I had 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:43.200 a girlfriend. I was trying to figure out that it 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.839 was it was it was actually it was, uh, well, 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:48.599 this is what she told me. She told me it 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.560 was a beautiful thing for her because she was actually 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.920 the opposite. She was more wild, you know what I'm saying. 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.960 So when we linked up, it was like not about sex, 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.680 you know what I'm saying. It was about affection and 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.359 all that, but it was more it was about that 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.400 in the book. Yeah, so it was more than it 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.640 just the physical and and to be doing that at 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.280 a young age was like unheard of, like for me 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.039 to be that young and mature, you know what I'm saying. 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.920 So I think it worked for that year because she 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.159 was turned up, you know what I'm saying. She was young, 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.279 but she had experienced girls, you know what I'm saying. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.840 So you know, when you kind of peeled that back 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.480 and you realize where all that experience comes from. Sometimes 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.720 it comes from trauma, you know what I'm saying. I've 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:32.160 been saying like, oh, you don't know what that has 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.359 let them to make decisions exactly and value whatever that 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.080 it is in the way that they do. So what 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.320 was PHAs two? Like Phase two was more like, Okay, 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.520 I could do this, like I have power over myself, 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.599 you know what I'm saying, not even you know, to 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.920 be with a woman, could you know, differ me from 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.040 you know, my goals, you know what I'm saying. And 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.920 that's that was more of like I would say, to 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.440 speak to the competitive aspect of it or why it 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.400 was interesting to me, and then the last aspect I 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.400 would say it was spirituality, you know what I'm saying, 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.240 because at this particular time, you know, I was diving 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.960 into some other religions at that time, Jehova Witness religion, 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.719 you know what I'm saying, And it was interesting to 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.159 me at the time because I had heard Prince with 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.320 Jehovah Witness and then I knew Michael Jackson's mom was 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.680 a Jehova Witness, So I just was intrigued, you know 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.920 what I mean and Jehovah witness, I think or he 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.720 might have just not want to give me no presence. 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:29.760 I'm you know what if you dive deep into that, 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.440 like and you really think about you know, how we 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.920 ingest culture, you know what I'm saying, and the things 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.480 that we like, the rituals that we practice, you know 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.159 what I'm saying, We ought to know what that is. 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:40.600 You know what I'm saying, like, we ought to know 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.320 you know, what deities and things that we're serving, because 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.960 essentially that's what we're doing when we're talking about st. Nick. 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:57.880 Nobody knows it cares about sat Nick, but you know exactly. Yeah, 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.120 So what was the point that made you realize, Hey, 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.640 I that was it was? It was after. It was 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.640 after I realized that it wasn't for me. And it 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.600 wasn't for me because when I understood the thing about 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.200 being like this fellowship from your family, you know, like 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.080 when you're going through stuff like that, Like I couldn't 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.760 recacile that because that's not how I was raised. How 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.600 I was raised where very close to my family. So 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.920 if something going on, you know, I gotta tell my 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.000 land or I gotta you know, talk to her. She's 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.600 the only person that's going to protect me, you know 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.600 what I mean. So the thing that I just didn't 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.240 agree with, you know what I mean, which I understand 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.560 in the business frame, it's like, Okay, you don't want 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.920 to associate with certain people to not mess up your business. 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.920 But then you know, it becomes a conversation about religion 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.920 versus spirituality. You know what I'm saying. That that's really 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.200 what I was stepping in, and spirituality allowed me to 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.320 just you know, view myself differently than how the world 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.120 viewed it, you know what I'm saying, Like you know, 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.840 all of my experiences or or like being with a 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.600 slut or a hole, you know what I mean, and 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.040 like understanding why they're that way, you know, accepting them 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:04.760 from for who they are, you know, and a lot 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:09.520 of religions kind of ostracized people, you know from yeah, 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.640 forget it, even come to church exactly. So it was 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.280 like the other side that kind of made me feel 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.120 comfortable with like okay, you know what I mean. And 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:20.760 it was interesting, you know what I'm saying. When I 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.840 stepped back, Yeah, for sure, it was like my body 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.360 turned into a kid again, like twelve years old, you 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.720 know what I'm saying, when you did decide to indulge 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.560 in sex again, did you start a new relationship or 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.199 was it it was it was my home girl, you 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.480 knew him was comfortable with exactly. And that's a lot 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.000 of times I think what women confuse things with men, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.600 you know what I'm saying, because comfortability is a major part, 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.520 you know what I'm saying, of being able to open 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.839 yourself up. You know what I'm saying. So for me, 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:53.280 rather than like getting a girl courting her feeling like okay, 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.080 she's nice enough, I'm doing all of these different tests, 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:57.280 you know what I mean. It was like with my 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.760 home girl, was like yeah, yeah, if if it was 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.920 if it was like three pumps and I'm out, she 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:08.360 wouldn't be like you know what I talking. That's never 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.400 been the situation. A three years elevancy. You wasn't come 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.199 on now, you would come on? You definitely did three 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:19.680 three years ago. Because let me tell you what do Okay, 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:26.440 I believe, but let me I believe that he that 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:30.280 he you know, really performed because I see it the 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:31.920 opposite way is what y'all see it. Y'all see it 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.960 is it was so much backed up that he had 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:35.400 to hurry up and let it out. But I see 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.199 that he connected with himself at different level eternally, that 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.760 he was able to have his mind in the place 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.520 that was connected with his body and able to really 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.960 exactly he came in and went again and pretended he 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:50.040 didn't come that first time. You got to be able 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.959 to go back spiritual into mine. But when it's been 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.960 a while and find somebody that my body just says, yes, 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:05.280 somebody says, splash, listen, but your friend, it's your home girl, 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.840 right like that? Like, was it something that y'all have 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.240 been talking about? Was there an attraction with each other 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:11.960 that y'all have already had sex in the past. Now, 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.520 we never had sex, and it was just a flow. 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.560 We was just vibing, you know what I'm saying, And 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.160 it was a flow and we just was we was 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.559 both like comfortable with open up, you know what I mean, 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.080 And we just took it there, you know what I'm saying. 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.360 And it was cool. And I'm a very like I 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.960 don't like pressure type of person, especially in places that 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.000 I want to feel like most authentic and comfortable with, 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.000 you know what i mean. Like I'm a very go 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.480 with the flow type of person. So if the moment 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:37.920 calls for it, then you know what I mean, and 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.959 you're good, then we're good. How is your guys relationship 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.200 after that? Like, did you guys try it again? Because 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.720 they say sometimes it's hardy maintain that friendship. Yeah, break 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.600 the seal. Well, I think that when we see each other, 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.079 we definitely have like a type of mutual respect for 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.840 each other, but it didn't transform into anything else. I 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.079 think a lot of the time, you know, sexist for 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:05.319 men and women, you know what I'm saying. And yeah, yeah, 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.880 I guess, Well, I mean not if you you know, 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.400 if you have an intention, you know, and intention is clear, 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.840 you know what I'm saying. Um, I don't think men 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:16.280 have clear intentions beyond just wanting to most of the time. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.079 And you know, I feel like that's true. They also 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.760 try to sometimes tell you like they feel like they're 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:23.640 not gonna be a way. They want to warn you, 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.240 like like just so you know, I don't want this 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.319 to be. But then sometimes they change to be done. 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.839 That happened one time and this guy was like, look, 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:31.960 I don't want anything serious, and then next thing, you know, 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:33.199 he want me to be his girl. And I'm like 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.800 what time I wasn't even looking at you like that 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.040 because we had a whole convery because he didn't know. 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:39.920 You know what I'm saying, That's just what women have 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.040 to understand the power to peak, you know what I'm saying, 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.240 Because we're trying to figure it out. We gotta we 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:45.599 gotta figure this out, you know what I mean. I 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.960 don't want to feel this way, but damn, you're making 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.760 me feel this, so let me tell you so. But 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.120 then that didn't work so exactly, so you know, I 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.280 think that you know, it does take time for a 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.400 man to mature, you know what I'm saying. But when 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.080 a man knows what he wants, you know what I'm saying, 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.680 it ain't no question. Did you eat the booty like groceries? 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.720 You know? You know I appreciate you and I can't 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:14.360 let you in my bed At the point why no 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:19.280 said yes, somebody's like, I can't tell you. That means 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.120 I actually had that phase in my life where it's 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.000 like if I sleep with you, we go together, like 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.280 I'm not gonna sleep with you, Like I wasn't gonna 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:30.920 give it up, but I'm not gonna lie. As I 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.280 got older, it was times resident after I sleep with 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:38.080 you and you know I didn't feel it, yeah, you know, 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.480 and sometimes it was a chemistry there. Yeah, kind of 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.920 changes things. Because have you ever been with somebody and 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:44.920 you really like them, but then you sleep together. Oh 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.280 my god, you're saying it and you just wish you 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.240 could take your pussy bad. You never game. I got 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.640 jumped over. So I was a town boy in middle school. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.600 I went to three twenty in Brooklyn, and I got 0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.520 jumped over my homeboy. Like you know, I was like tomboys. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.240 So all my friends, like all the guys like we 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.960 would do crazy stuff like I was a boy, and 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.240 I didn't know that my best friend liked me. His 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.080 girlfriend even jumped me, and everything with her sisters, Like 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.000 her sisters was like eighteen seventeen. I'll be dass at 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:19.600 least hers and everybody. Wait while you were in middle school. Yeah, 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.640 her sister was eighteen and she jumped in like I 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.040 was fighting her, like I couldn't worry about everyone else. 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.440 So you know, I was making sure I was taking 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.439 care of her. But it was because my homeboy, who 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.559 was to me my best friend, I didn't even look 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:35.000 at him like that, liked me. So she didn't like that, 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.640 so they jumped me or whatever, and I was like, like, 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.640 I didn't even know he liked me, Like I didn't 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.120 even to me. Literally, it was just this is my friend, 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.080 and I'm in middle school, so I wasn't It's not 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:48.439 like having sex or anything like were though, but again 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.520 I was a townboy, like I wasn't seeking about having 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.920 sex with him, and like that I didn't like him. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.320 I think that a lot of the times, you know, 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.840 women don't understand that, you know, man like like women 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:02.720 like their mama. So if you have a cool mom, 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.280 like I have a cool mom, then like I actually 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.720 like really cool chicks, you know what I'm saying, versus 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.480 the opposite, you know, which would be like maybe chicks 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:12.480 that want to be pursued in a specific way. So 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.440 you didn't know, you know, but obviously you was a 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.240 great friend, you know. After that, I found out that, 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:19.960 you know, he was like, you know, I did, and 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.000 I guess she picked that up. But still I was like, no, 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.800 I don't like you. But then years later, as adults, 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.320 I moved back to New York. That's when I moved 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.760 back and we linked up again. It was like, okay, well, 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:33.680 I guess let's try this. He was so small was there? Wait? 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.360 What happened? His penis was so small? I was like 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.640 all the time, it's the same side of it was 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:49.240 in the middle school. That's I've never I was like, 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.320 I have to my best friend. I was like, yo, 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.680 could you believe, like after all these years and I'm 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:59.040 telling you this, was like, now we're like y for 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.040 this little thing.

Sometimes the 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.440 reserve is a bit too much, you know what I'm saying. 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.680 But for the most part, I'm interested in like having 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.640 a peaceful time with a woman, you know what I'm saying. 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.840 And you know, um, when questions are asked, they are 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.440 articulated in a way that you know, it could be 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.200 some open dialogue, you know. I mean, they don't have 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.120 to just be like judgment, you know what I'm saying. 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:19.159 So now let me ask you this being that, like 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:20.920 I said, you were really young when you first got 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.520 started you in the group. How old were you? Like? Sixteen? Yeah? 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.080 When we started when, um, I was fourteen, but we 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.760 got signed, I was like sixteen. Yeah, So you did 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.760 you ever before that? Did you want to be so low? Um? 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.080 I was. I was preparing. I was preparing to be 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.680 so low. I was like a rapper actually, and I 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:39.600 was a part of this rap who called the Wild 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:43.920 Kingdom and um yeah, Wild Kingdom, yeah, the Wild king Yeah, yeah, 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.080 that's all I got my name with Marion Actually, yeah, 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:49.480 I was a bunch of I was around a bunch 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.199 of older dudes. You know what I'm saying, That's how 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.480 I've always been for me, you know what i mean, mature. 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:57.840 So yeah, like I didn't. Actually I started singing because 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.280 my mom was like, Mario, I think you should sing, 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:01.840 you know. I was like, why mine? She was like, 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:05.120 because it sings to get all the girls. She knew 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.280 I would like to get you going. Did your mom 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:09.920 like any of these girls when you were younger? Like, 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.879 did you bring them home? Yeah? Yeah, a few of them. 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.240 She liked a few of them. She like, like she's 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.080 hard critic. She said she liked April in the beginning. 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:24.359 She did. Yeah, everybody loved April in the beginning. You know. 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.280 I mean, like, how do you think that being on 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.640 reality TV? You think that affected things? For sure? For sure, 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.159 I think that affected the trajectory, you know, just of 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.480 you know, the mindset and what was available, you know, 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.480 just as far as like you know, a place that 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.840 she feels like she could make something of herself. You 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.720 know what I'm saying, Like maybe if it was a 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.200 different platform, you know what I mean, Um, it would 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.720 have just transformed differently. But it's like, you know, I 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.240 have a love hate relationship with reality TV because I 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.080 know how it works, and I know that a lot 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.680 of the times, you know, people making up stories, you 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.680 know what I mean, they're not really trying to transform themselves, 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.600 you know I'm saying. And the few that are, you know, um, 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.560 they don't know enough about the entertainment business to like 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:10.000 really you know, transform it into something productive for our culture, 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.160 you know what I'm saying. Those that do know where 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.280 they're going with it, it gets overshadowed by all of 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:20.840 the stories, you know, exactly to keep people engage. Yeah, 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.320 And it's just like, yo, life is more than like, 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:25.760 you know, these issues, you know what I'm saying, Like 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:28.480 what about you know, getting through the and like what 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:30.440 happens after that, you know what I'm saying, and the 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.840 healing that goes on between that. So that's why reality 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.040 TV never really worked for me, you know what I'm saying, 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:39.359 Because I was actually being vulnerable and open and sharing 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.160
