0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>it's all good. You've been having a very active COVID

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>nineteen quarantine, right. Indeed, indeed I have, Yeah, everybody else,

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>well I won't see everybody else. But the majority of

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.919
<v Speaker 1>people kind of looked at this whole COVID nineteen thing,

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>this quarantine as a negative thing. Oh man, we gotta

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:54.279
<v Speaker 1>stay in the house whatever whatever for me. Honestly, when

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>they stay stay in the house, I was like, you

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell me twice because I don't get to stay

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>in the house. I don't don't. I'm earlier at all,

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. So I took it as an opportunity to,

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, to lock back in with my kids. Of course,

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>as job as everybody knows, my wife get back to

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the stuff that that matters, you know. We tend to

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 1>let a lot of the stuff that don't matter matters

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>so much in in regard to just the way that

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>we the way do we live this thing. And I'm

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>happy that I'm happy that this. I'm not happy that

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>anybody lost their life, of course, you know, dutiful Code nineteen.

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>But I'm happy that this set your ass down moment

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 1>happened because it didn't need We definitely needed this moment.

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.119
<v Speaker 1>The earth needed this moment, right, I agree? I agree,

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>did y'all? Some somebody told me that, uh, the olds

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.639
<v Speaker 1>On layer was healing itself because it was less people

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.759
<v Speaker 1>driving cars and whatnot. And yeah, there's there's a lot

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>less smug and everything and there, and even like natural wildlife.

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>But I will say the problem here in New York

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>is these rats are everywhere, so that are like the

0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>ones on the ground put both. But you know, because

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the restaurants aren't open, so they're used

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.079
<v Speaker 1>to like drummage in through the garbage and because there's

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>not as much of that, so and you know, New

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>York is already kind of dirty. So we go outside

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and the rats are everywhere. Now, yeah, man, you know

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>what I want to asked, because I've been watching everything

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>you've been doing, right, do you think that people give

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>up like too quickly in relationships and especially in marriage?

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>So absolutely absolutely. Nowadays, you know a person will find

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>any excuse like why are you why are you breathe

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>so loud? You know what? You know what? We need space?

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>This is this breathing you're doing. I can't take all

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>this breathing. They'll find any reason to to get out

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:46.920
<v Speaker 1>of relationship nowadays, because relationships are not easy. It's just

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>what it is. It's not easy to constantly find that

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>common ground with another person if that person is really

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>being who they are. Like you, two different people with

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>two completely different outlooks on certain things. You're not gonna

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 1>like other all the time. It's gonna get hard. Being faithful.

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>It's hard first time people. For some Okay, for some people, yea.

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Being faithful it's not an easy thing to do. It

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>requires discipline that a lot of people either don't have

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>or don't want to work towards having. That's just what

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of what it is right now, you know, being

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>quickly easy. I would push back and say that being

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>faithful is easier than not just because I think that

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.399
<v Speaker 1>once you get older, like having multiple it's just gets

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>like complicated, it's a lot of work. It costs more

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>money than just being like with one person and not

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>having to worry about all those things. I think it's

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>all in a way that it's done. But I do

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 1>agree with you as as you age, you start you

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>start realizing what's important versus what's microwaves, so to speak.

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean, It's like it's like waiting.

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like waiting on that home cooking meal even though

0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna take a little long and you know it's

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna be good, so you way instead of going to

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>McDonald's re quick and grabbing a burglar. You know what

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean. It's just so nil. What do you feel

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>like where your issues? You and Crystal's issues when y'all

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>decided like, all right, we're gonna have to really call

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>it quit whether your phone, you know what, the fault

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>lives on, default lives on both of us. I can genuinely,

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>truly and honestly say the fault out and through both

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>of us. I'm not gonna go too heavily into detail

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>just because I'm not, but just I mean, the best

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>way to put it is when you are not being

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>honest with yourself about things, and this and this goes

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 1>for both of us. It's going to be difficult to

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>get the get that genuine from anyone from from It's

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be it's not gonna be a genuine uh

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>connection if you're not being honest with yourself, If you

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>have issues that you need to deal with, you need

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>to deal with those issues. And if you don't deal

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>with those issues, those issues will cause where between you

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and that person that you're trying to be with. And uh,

0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.359
<v Speaker 1>that's something that we both needed to learn. You know,

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 1>we both had to do some soul search. We both

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>had to get into ourselves and go all right, let

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>me put this mirror in front of me and figure

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 1>out what's wrong with me before I turned it, and

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>go what's wrong with you? Y'all had some y'all have

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>some petty moments, you know during that to say there

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 1>was some pettiness going on, I was like, I didn't know,

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>never so petty. How was it? I was? It wasn't

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>just you. I got both of you guys, though, you

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>did have some petty moments, you know, And when when

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 1>drama is drama is it is what it is. I

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think either one of us had Uh. Okay, everybody

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>took Pinkyring as a disrecord. It was not a disrecord.

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Listen to the lyrics of the song. I didn't say

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>anything negative about her. I didn't diss her on that

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.280
<v Speaker 1>record was flattering, No, it was a flatter. It was

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>a song about divorce, right, Yeah, this was turning the

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Ring and Spinky Ring. That was the disk because it's

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 1>like right in my heart, that was me saying. That

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>was me saying, as opposed to sitting in the dark

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>room crying my eyes out, I'm gonna keep it pushing,

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna keep it pimping. That's that was what I

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>was saying. But that's what that's what guys do. You know,

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>that's what guys be doing the breakup. I feel like

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>guy on y'all breakup. No, they try to like act

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>like they're okay, and you know, just brush it off

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.919
<v Speaker 1>and keep it moving. But then it comes back and

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 1>affects you later because you didn't do it, and then

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.599
<v Speaker 1>it hits you even harder and even harder. Very true,

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>very true. Yeah, I won't to not none of that. Yeah.

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I wrote the song uh pretty much the night that

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the argument happened that caused. It caused us

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.239
<v Speaker 1>to to like separating and uh, it was a rant,

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>but it was a classy rant. Okay, I'm not I'm

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.800

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 1>of the day, I'm saying, I'm never gonna I'm never

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:52.840

<v Speaker 1>I gotta I gotta give credit where credit is due.

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 1>A lot of this song was was Jeremih already like

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>when he brought it to me. The beat was done,

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the hook was already on it, his verse was done.

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>All I did was at the parts that you did me.

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>And that was that. So I got man, gotta get

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>that man his props. But that must have been perfect.

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>You're usually one right in the songs, right, so that

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>must have been due. I wanted to I've been a

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 1>fan of Jeremi for a really long time, and I

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted to work with him for a really long time.

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 1>It's just whatever the schedules, you know, situation circumstances causing

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>not to happen. I'm in a studio working on this

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>album with my man, rock Star, you know rock Star. Yeah,

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>all right, so you dope produce a dope writer. So

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 1>we're working together. We're having a conversation about people I

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>want to work with that I haven't yet. I mentioned

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Jeremiah Litening goes, oh wait, time up. Jeremy pulled up

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>that night, two records that night, and one of Woman's

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 1>is do You to Love Joining? So yeah, that's it's

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 1>hard to get Jeremed into anything that's not music related

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 1>and being in the studio related. But when it comes

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>to music, because that dude, that dude is a musician,

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. I think I think that

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>in the music industry, you have musicians, you have you know,

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 1>celebrities like stars, you know, like the front person, and

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.679
<v Speaker 1>you have you have people that do it that do

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>it form from a musical standpoint, and that's the that's

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>the focal point, that's the important part. And I feel

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>like that's kind of what Jeremiah is. Just like, you

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.440
<v Speaker 1>know what, and I it's not so much about what

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I look like or what I'm wearing right now, listen

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 1>to this joint. You know what I just did. It's back,

0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, like that's that's the that's a different cloth. Man.

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that breaking up and getting back together

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 1>might make your love stronger? Just because during the time

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>of part you realize just how much you missed somebody

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.959
<v Speaker 1>or just the things that you need to change. And

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I think people break up and then they go

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>out there and they try to find something else and

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.199
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't really work out, and then they realized what

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I had at home, that's the best thing I had.

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, I really couldn't said about myself. Yeah it was.

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.319
<v Speaker 1>You know what. It's like I said earlier. We we

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 1>tend to let the outside noise get real out, you know,

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>being opinions from friends, opinions of other people you know,

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>you get know I g and get to reading comments

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.440
<v Speaker 1>and opinions from people you don't even know. You tend

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>to let all this stuff become really really important to

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 1>you for some reason, and it becomes definite to where

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you can't hear the person that's sitting right next to you,

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that's been right next to you when he was down,

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 1>that's been right next to you when he was ugly,

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 1>it's been right next to you when he was broke.

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, you can't hear that. You can't hear that

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 1>person because all you hear is the loudness. So what's

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>happening for worth? You know? So again, that's why when

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I when we were forced to sit down, you know,

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>we got there. We got the opportunity to really look

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>at what's important. And what's important is the fact that

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I would die for you, you would die for me.

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>That's the love that we share. Everything else we're supposed

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>to be able to work through. Everything else we supposed

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:16.359
<v Speaker 1>be able to work through on top of that foundation,

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and and here we are. I felt like the blog

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.960
<v Speaker 1>quickly tried to like pin y'all against each other and

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>um one of the things that happened was that Crystal

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 1>was seeing out at a party and she was with

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.959
<v Speaker 1>a guy from Black Ank Ryan. I So, how did

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.559
<v Speaker 1>that make you feel? When y'all are in a situation

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 1>where y'all were kind of not talking, then you see

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>something like that is that something where you call her

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 1>immediately or did it kind of just confirmed to you

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that you're like, damn, this is really over, Like how

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>did that work out? Um? I know Crystal. I know

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Crystal better than a lot of people, and I know one.

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I knew one hundred percent for a fact that it

0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>wasn't what everybody thought. It was, like, she's not that person.

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>But also she also knew that was a good picture

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>to make you mad. Yeah, that's what I was probably

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.680
<v Speaker 1>at least that's a good Hey, you guys, y'all know

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a good strategy. You always. I don't. I don't.

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't doubt it. I don't doubt it. But I

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.880
<v Speaker 1>knew that it wasn't that, you know, because again, that's

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.439
<v Speaker 1>not who that's not who she is. That's how and

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I saw it, and I'm like, okay, um wow, that

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>is that is definitely petty. But I didn't. I wasn't.

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't. I couldn't let it. I couldn't let it

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.720
<v Speaker 1>phase me. I didn't let it face. I had to again,

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:36.319
<v Speaker 1>I had to keep a print and I had to

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 1>keep a pushing especially because at this point I'm surrounded

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 1>by all of you know, my my crew and everybody,

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and you know a lot of my friends like, yeah,

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:49.439
<v Speaker 1>we're single again. Why do guys very much keep that Yeah,

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>well I'm all right, you know I'm saying. And then

0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I give by myself. Yeah you know what they saying. Right,

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.679
<v Speaker 1>guys are the ones to celebrate the break up. But

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>why did they do that? It's so annoying, Like then

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the friends are so happy, like, yes, you're a single again,

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 1>while the girlfriends are like, oh no, girl, you're gonna

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>be okay, we got you back girl. Exactly what happens,

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>especially if the majority of your friends are single too,

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>like they want you to bring the They also don't

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 1>care if they're single or not. Majority of them, your

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 1>married friends are like, yeah, we're single again, and I

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.320

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 1>and you had a baby and everything. So that's joke.

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.719

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.880

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and then my way say, I will say that my

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 1>d ms were more active than than they had been

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 1>in along once knowledge of the divorce hit. But even

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>more so than people jumping out the window, it was

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people that was that that started telling

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 1>me about myself because I and in the relationship, Um,

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I allowed myself to change behind my marriage, like like

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I became a different person to to my friends and

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 1>became a different person to the people that I worked

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 1>with behind my marriage. And and you know that was

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>part that was one part of that was one part

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>of what we had to work on. That I got

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 1>into a place where I felt like I couldn't be

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 1>me around her, you know what I mean. I don't

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>know how we got there. I don't know what that was,

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>but I got into that place, and uh and and

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 1>it became evident, you know, whenever we were hanging around

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>with my friends, you know, when my friends aren't there

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 1>on one way, then when she shows up, I would

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.680
<v Speaker 1>come another way. And it's like I didn't even realize it.

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>So like, you know, when I when I went to

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>my friends, like hey, I think I'm getting a divorce.

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.439
<v Speaker 1>It became a you know what, brother, I'm gonna say nothing.

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.319
<v Speaker 1>You ain't you what? You ain't you in this marriage?

0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Like something's wrong because you're not you. I don't know what,

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 1>but you you're not you in this marriage. And I

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know if this is what needs to happen or whatever,

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 1>But now that you're in this place, now I can

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>tell you you ain't you at for whatever reason, you're

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 1>not you in this marriage? You know so, I mean

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I paid attention to that. I paid attention to, you know,

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 1>just what I would feel when she would come around,

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and I and I realized what it was and needed

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 1>to happen. What what conversation we needed to have. We

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>had that conversation. We're in a great space now, you know.

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 1>And and my and my friends. The cool thing is

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:39.400
<v Speaker 1>that my friends see it's who they see now. They

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>can see that, you know, I don't feel like I

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>have to become another person when she's around. I can

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 1>be who I am, you know, around I can be

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 1>me around everybody there. Well, were these different people like

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>how do you what's different? Like what's different when? Yeah,

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 1>like what it's different when you're around your friends that

0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you had you had to back then

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>change like what is it that was different when she

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 1>was just differently these different elements of my personality, you

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. Like some uh some might some

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>a person might say that I'm a bit flirtatious. Person

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 1>might say that, you know what I mean, And uh,

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean it to come to come across flirtatious.

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm just a very friendly person. And there was a

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 1>point in our relationship where uh that became that became

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 1>an issue, the point of relationship with that became an issue.

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I could see that point where I felt like, all right,

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 1>all right, uh, wife, he's around, let me to try

0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 1>to avoid us getting into a potential argument later and

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and that, you know, and that maybe that got me

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the feeling like, Okay, if I can't be who I

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>am with you, then maybe we shouldn't be together because

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>who I am is who I am is person that

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I am. I'm not being because because you're around and

0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't think that, I don't think that

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I should have to be. But then she also said,

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>all right, well, I don't mind you being you, but

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 1>you you definitely know the line between being you know

0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the right. So so it really became again us going

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, what is it that's wrong with me? As

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 1>opposed what is it that's wrong with you. It's kind

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>of like, right, I didn't know the line between flirting

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 1>and and being and being funny. I know thee I

0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>know when it's all right, But that's that's a bit toofore.

0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, we all know. We get we

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 1>see what we can get away with. That's just kind

0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>of that's just what people tend to do in relationships

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 1>with you don't ever want to do something like if

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 1>you can't do it with your wife there and you

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.040
<v Speaker 1>would be uncomfortable, then you shouldn't be doing it. But

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 1>she's not. That's always a good thing to see what's

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 1>appropriate and what's not, Like if I'm comfortable and she's

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.080
<v Speaker 1>here and I and I said this or acted this way,

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 1>and then when she's not here, because I think you

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.120
<v Speaker 1>can really measure a person by how they act when

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 1>you're not around. Right, That's but I feel like, still

0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.760
<v Speaker 1>on on the other on the flip side of it,

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like you can't make someone feel so

0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>suffocating with being the souths if that's his personality, Yes,

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.560
<v Speaker 1>like you said, there's a line that needs to be drawn.

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 1>But that's why I feel like you both have to

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:12.920
<v Speaker 1>had to work on each other because it's kind of like,

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 1>what is my insecurity that I feel like I can't

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.359
<v Speaker 1>just let him flirt with people and just in a

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.280
<v Speaker 1>friendly way. Maybe you might take it too far after

0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.520
<v Speaker 1>a while because you take everything. You know what I

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.240
<v Speaker 1>mean like, Okay, he's gonna go too far. I know

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.639
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna go too far. So I get what you're saying.

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 1>We're both sides hold out ladies. Now, y'are not letting

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.440
<v Speaker 1>your man de flirtations? I know, but you also don't

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.920
<v Speaker 1>want some because I did have a similar problem where

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I would change my personality around the person that I've

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.159
<v Speaker 1>been told that before. Did I've changed my personality around,

0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 1>But it's because they take that things that you would do.

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:52.879
<v Speaker 1>So now you feel like, damn everything, I'm doing it.

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 1>But then the conversation you're supposed to go, all right,

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.640
<v Speaker 1>if this is what it is, okay, so you tell me,

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 1>you tell me what's the line for you? I know

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 1>what the line. I know what the line is. I

0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:03.200
<v Speaker 1>know what I feel like the line is. You tell

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.199
<v Speaker 1>me what the line is to you and we and

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 1>we compromise. We find a way to where both parties

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>can be happy with the outcome. Like, that's what compromises

0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.600
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be. All right, it's not completely you and

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.239
<v Speaker 1>it's not completely mean. We've both been that we can

0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:21.840
<v Speaker 1>meet in the middle, and let's talk about to do.

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about something antients were discussing it right now. Okay,

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.680
<v Speaker 1>so is this taking it too far? Right? If somebody

0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 1>says a girl that your friends sits on your lap

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>but it's not in a sexual way, but maybe just

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 1>not enough room in the car, Like, what's the reason

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.800
<v Speaker 1>why this happened? I don't know. Actually, just feels comfortable

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:46.360
<v Speaker 1>enough to do that, you know how some people are

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 1>just super friendly acting. Um, yeah, that's just I can't

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:58.199
<v Speaker 1>let Yeah I'm not that's not that's crossing. Okay, what okay?

0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.199
<v Speaker 1>What about just coming and hug and a kiss on

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the cheek? Is that okay? Um? I mean yeah, yeah,

0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.040
<v Speaker 1>it depends on it depends on the situation. Yeah, that's fine,

0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.399
<v Speaker 1>that's fine. Now again okay, so so the kiss on

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:15.359
<v Speaker 1>the cheek, there's a friendly kiss on the cheek, and

0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.200
<v Speaker 1>then there's a kiss on the cheek that clearly needs

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:19.200
<v Speaker 1>more than a kiss on the cheek. It's like half

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.719
<v Speaker 1>on the mouth, half on the cheek again, you know,

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know the lines. Now what you do

0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:27.400
<v Speaker 1>is how you do it? They do that, and then

0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 1>there's and then there's a not so filing way to

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.879
<v Speaker 1>do that. Okay, Now what if you're in the club

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:33.960
<v Speaker 1>and the girl is next to you in the club

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 1>and she leans her head on your shoulder for a second?

0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Is that too much? Why was you Angela? That is

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 1>it like some sleepy like just like I'm so tired

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.439
<v Speaker 1>of being in the club, you know, and then next thing,

0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a picture everywhere. You know, if you

0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.280
<v Speaker 1>can't even explain that, Yeah, I think I think one

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 1>part of it is is again like it's it's very

0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.119
<v Speaker 1>good the thing that you said. You know, if you

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be comfortable doing it with your significant other there,

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 1>you probably should do it. Yeah, you don't want to

0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 1>put yourself in position to to to even to even

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 1>create confusion like so, well I would so I wouldn't

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 1>have no girls sitting next to me and then put

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:20.840
<v Speaker 1>her head on my shoulders where somebody can stop to

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 1>get you to where Now we have confusions about what

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:27.600
<v Speaker 1>happens and this this thing come on a little bit girl,

0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and we need we need something more realistic examples. Okay,

0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:34.480
<v Speaker 1>what if there's something what if you can't explain this

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.200
<v Speaker 1>is something that can't be explained, then clearly it's something

0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>that shouldn't be done. Like if there's no explanation for

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.480
<v Speaker 1>why this is feasible, then clearly, Like I got one,

0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.719
<v Speaker 1>a female artist texts you at three in the morning,

0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 1>a female artist, It doesn't matter what the text she's texting,

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 1>just the studio when she was texting to say I

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:58.199
<v Speaker 1>meet home. What if she texts you, let's get this

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 1>piky ring me mixed going almost annoy here? Well okay, um,

0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:13.480
<v Speaker 1>all right in reference to that, because I am an artist,

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.120
<v Speaker 1>because I am a songwriter, because I know what production

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.439
<v Speaker 1>is and I know what studio work is. Uh. An

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 1>artist texts you at three a m is not that uncommon,

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, because we keep laid hours. That's so that's nothing.

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm common. Now. What that text message says is what's important.

0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:31.600
<v Speaker 1>That's where that's where we start the line. Instagram model

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:33.199
<v Speaker 1>and she's like, you know, I want to be in

0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 1>your video and it's three in the morning. No no, no, no, no, no.

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:44.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if that's the case, it's business. There was

0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:54.639
<v Speaker 1>no none casting called the casting cursy. Hey baby, oh no,

0:21:54.760 --> 0:22:00.280
<v Speaker 1>just just talked about she be in video. Let to say,

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:02.120
<v Speaker 1>one of your single friends brings a group of girls

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.280
<v Speaker 1>around and they come by the studio. You want to

0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:06.239
<v Speaker 1>play some music, see how they feel about it, and

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:07.600
<v Speaker 1>one of them is like, oh my god, I love

0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:09.159
<v Speaker 1>this song, and she kind of works on you a

0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:13.040
<v Speaker 1>little uh no no, no, no no, no again. That goes

0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 1>back to the whole situation. It's like, too close to

0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.679
<v Speaker 1>the private area. Yea, on my left. We don't need

0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:28.280
<v Speaker 1>to know where in this in this waste right over there.

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm good, I'm good working on the phone. Yall had

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the preasure off, So all right, and ladies like for

0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:40.439
<v Speaker 1>y'all because it's just interesting to me that y'all say that,

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 1>because I know both Gigi and Lauri y'all, y'all don't

0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 1>play that flirting thing when it comes to do Yeah,

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:50.440
<v Speaker 1>but I think sometimes people take being friendly as flirting,

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think sometimes we do get a little bit jealous.

0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Like That's why I'm saying that, because I didn't know

0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:59.760
<v Speaker 1>how it feels it's like I've been that person, and

0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I've also then the person to be like, I don't

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:03.800
<v Speaker 1>like that, you know what I mean. And it doesn't

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 1>feel good when somebody doesn't feel comfortable with your personality

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:10.119
<v Speaker 1>and you don't feel like you're doing anything wrong. But

0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 1>like you said, sometimes you just gotta sit down and

0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:14.200
<v Speaker 1>be like, how would I felt that this is being

0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 1>done to me? And anytimes that they drink like that? Yeah,

0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Or sometimes you just gotta sit down with that person

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:23.639
<v Speaker 1>and go all right, let's discuss the line. Let's just

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:26.160
<v Speaker 1>us discussed the down to you so that so after

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 1>this discussion there's never any there's no more confusion ever

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:31.800
<v Speaker 1>again because you sat down. All right, there's what I

0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:34.399
<v Speaker 1>don't like. That's what I don't like. There's a susceptable,

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:37.960
<v Speaker 1>here's it's not acceptable. Cool, all right, there's what I

0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 1>don't like. Here's what I here, and then we find

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:43.480
<v Speaker 1>a compromise, and then we and then we run with that. Now,

0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 1>after that happens, if the same thing is still happening,

0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:49.120
<v Speaker 1>all right, then clearly that first time get through, y'all

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:51.720
<v Speaker 1>need to have another damn conversation, perhaps one a bit

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 1>more forceful than the last room. You know, like, hey, listen,

0:23:55.000 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 1>um he talked about because he was like, you know,

0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:04.199
<v Speaker 1>the key to success and happiness. So I wonder are

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:07.359
<v Speaker 1>y'all like work? Are you working on yourselves? Or's just

0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 1>like a therapy situation? Because I know some people feel like,

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:14.480
<v Speaker 1>oh well I could just work internally internally on myself,

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:17.439
<v Speaker 1>but some people need a little help. So did y'all

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 1>go that route right now? We all need a little help? Um?

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:24.760
<v Speaker 1>We we tried. We tried therapy once before, and what

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:28.360
<v Speaker 1>we realize is that until we could go to therapy together,

0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:30.719
<v Speaker 1>we needed to go to therapy separately, you know what

0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean. Because it's like like I got things that

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I gotta work through. You've got things that you gotta

0:24:35.240 --> 0:24:38.359
<v Speaker 1>work through, and us trying to do it together is

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:43.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's distracting, you know what I mean. So

0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 1>so so that hadn't happened before we could even get

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 1>to a place where it's like because for example, if

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm apologizing to you sincerely but you don't know how

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 1>to forgive, it doesn't matter that if he doesn't matter

0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:58.920
<v Speaker 1>how sincerely sorry I am. If you don't know how

0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:00.560
<v Speaker 1>to forgive me, if you don't on how to let

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 1>go of whatever it was I got person. That's as

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:07.399
<v Speaker 1>personal work like, we can't we can't do that. We

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 1>can't work that out together. That's something that you gotta

0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:13.240
<v Speaker 1>You gotta figure out what it is that is making

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:15.080
<v Speaker 1>is keeping you in that place where you hold on

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. It could be could be past trauma, could

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 1>be whatever. But all I know is that I can't

0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 1>help you through that, and you can't help me through

0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 1>what I gotta do. It has to be. It has

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:27.120
<v Speaker 1>to be a conscious decision, you know what I mean?

0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:30.199
<v Speaker 1>If you could be critical of yourself, then are you

0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 1>a jealous person? No, No, I'm almost I'm almost not

0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 1>jealous enough. Say. What I can honestly say is a

0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:42.120
<v Speaker 1>defense mechanism because there was a point in time where

0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I was extremely jealous and and and why I wind

0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:49.119
<v Speaker 1>up getting hurt immensely, you know, to where I told myself,

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:51.199
<v Speaker 1>you know what, You can't get hurt if you just

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:57.119
<v Speaker 1>don't allow yourself to care as much. Had not healthy,

0:25:57.240 --> 0:25:59.879
<v Speaker 1>which is not healthy. You can't do that to you,

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.640
<v Speaker 1>so do now. At the same time, you can't put

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:04.760
<v Speaker 1>your happiness in another person, You definitely can't do that.

0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:08.399
<v Speaker 1>But you can't. You can't be this this numb thing

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:13.360
<v Speaker 1>just walking around either. You have to allow feelings. Sure,

0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:15.920
<v Speaker 1>um so no, No, not a jealous person at all.

0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Now what about your ego? Are you like driven by

0:26:19.680 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 1>your ego in any way? Really? No? Um, I actually

0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:29.959
<v Speaker 1>kind of pride myself for my absence of yougo, you

0:26:29.960 --> 0:26:32.480
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. I'm not I'm not the person

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:34.800
<v Speaker 1>that needs to get all the attention in the room.

0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not. I'm not to Hey, everybody, look over here, guys,

0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, Like like Angela, like you

0:26:40.480 --> 0:26:45.200
<v Speaker 1>you like you see me in social setting, I'm somewhe yeah,

0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:47.200
<v Speaker 1>like I'm I'm chilling. So no, and I was coming

0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 1>to that. M all right, Now, let's talk about the

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:52.479
<v Speaker 1>new album because I know you've been working on new

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:54.639
<v Speaker 1>music and I'm sure this kind a lot to be

0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 1>inspired by. So we heard this thing, so what else

0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:01.680
<v Speaker 1>can we expact? I'm still working on the album right now.

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I have not finished completely. I'm like three fourths of

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:07.439
<v Speaker 1>the way done. I figured too three more records and

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:11.479
<v Speaker 1>I'll be finished. Um. All of my music, pretty much

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:14.800
<v Speaker 1>my entire career, my music is always mirrored either my

0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:17.639
<v Speaker 1>personal life or the life of people around me. You

0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:21.119
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, this album is no exception. I

0:27:21.160 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 1>mean a lot of things have happened in my personal

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:25.399
<v Speaker 1>life over the last year and a half. You know,

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things happening in the world over the

0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:29.080
<v Speaker 1>last year and a half. So a lot of stuff

0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:31.440
<v Speaker 1>to talk about from a lot of different from a

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:33.879
<v Speaker 1>lot of different standpoints. There's a lot of there's layers

0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:37.159
<v Speaker 1>to this album because it's like there's some vibes that

0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 1>you've heard me on before, and then there's some vibes

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:42.560
<v Speaker 1>that you know are gonna be somewhat new, Like oh, okay,

0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even realize that was neo like that. That's

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:47.400
<v Speaker 1>what I was kind of searching for some of these records.

0:27:47.600 --> 0:27:50.800
<v Speaker 1>So I mean you mean like genre wise or like

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 1>sound wise wise, genre wise, round wise, all the way

0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:56.920
<v Speaker 1>across the board. Like, I just did a lot of

0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:59.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of certain on this album because I don't

0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll be completely hunted with y'all. I was very much

0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:05.879
<v Speaker 1>in my head at the beginning of creating this album.

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:07.640
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, like like, just let's keep

0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:09.840
<v Speaker 1>it already funky. I'm forty years old, you know what

0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. Like this is my what I think this

0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 1>would be my eighth ninth album. Yeah, you know, I've

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:23.280
<v Speaker 1>been here roughly twenty years. I started like I'm right,

0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:27.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of lesson and thankful about. But at the

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:29.680
<v Speaker 1>same time, it's like you know, you see, you see

0:28:29.680 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a hand racing coming up. The sound has changed,

0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the look has changed, like what, like where do I fit?

0:28:36.440 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 1>And what's happening right now? You know what I'm And

0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I allowed those kind of thoughts to creep in, and um,

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 1>what it took was me just really again blocking out

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the world and getting back to the reason that I

0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:51.560
<v Speaker 1>do music in the first place. I never I never

0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 1>got into music because I want to be famous. I

0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:55.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't get in music because I wanted to be rich.

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I got into music because somebody told me that I

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 1>could actually get paid to do some ship that I

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:05.960
<v Speaker 1>was just gonna do anyway. But I can. I can

0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:08.760
<v Speaker 1>defend for my family and myself with with some ship

0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:10.959
<v Speaker 1>that I was just gonna do. Oh turn me up.

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 1>And when you look at it from that place, you

0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 1>just make music for the love of making music. You

0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:20.640
<v Speaker 1>don't go it's just a hit, it's rhythmic. Gonna pick

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 1>this up you know all of these things that that

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that stand in the way of the creative processes to

0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 1>let them, you know, you can't, you can't think like that.

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:30.240
<v Speaker 1>At least for me, I need. I need to be

0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 1>able to go in and just go where my creative

0:29:33.120 --> 0:29:35.040
<v Speaker 1>vibe takes me and not worry about where it's going

0:29:35.080 --> 0:29:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to like right, and that once once I finally got

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 1>to that place, it allowed me the confidence to start

0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:43.360
<v Speaker 1>working with other writers. For a long time, I wouldn't

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 1>work with other writers. I just never felt like nobody's

0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:48.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna give me me better me better than me. But

0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:51.960
<v Speaker 1>when I said the confidence to work with other writers,

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the confidence to say, Okay, I know what I can do,

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I know how I do things. But to to not

0:29:59.400 --> 0:30:01.400
<v Speaker 1>take advantage to the fact that there are other points

0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:04.959
<v Speaker 1>of view is to almost it's almost blind yourself, like

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:09.120
<v Speaker 1>it's more than one way to do every everything, you know,

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:12.200
<v Speaker 1>So why would I not take advantage of somebody else's

0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 1>point of view on the same thing, or somebody or

0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, somebody else's point of view on the beat

0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 1>or maybe this word is apposed to that word, you know,

0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:19.440
<v Speaker 1>the lingo that changed up a little bit. You know

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:21.440
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, and I'm not keeping up on purpose,

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 1>so too it makes sense to pull on these little

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:28.920
<v Speaker 1>young cats in and go all right, here's how I

0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:31.600
<v Speaker 1>say it, and then and then how y'all say it. Okay,

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:34.160
<v Speaker 1>let's figure out how to make these two make sense, right.

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I really like to um, you really help people see

0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:40.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of John Austin's work too, like with them

0:30:40.560 --> 0:30:43.719
<v Speaker 1>versus thing for people to realize damn, he got all

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 1>them hits. And I feel like that's what's been really

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:48.960
<v Speaker 1>great about that, and I think yours in particular really

0:30:49.000 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 1>did that. Yeah, man, that was a lot. That was

0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun. That was a lot of fun.

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:56.479
<v Speaker 1>We saw the Dream and Sean Garrett's uh situation, and

0:30:56.560 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 1>how I kind of kind of went left a little bit. Yeah,

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I got to dream shout out to Sean Garrett. I'm

0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:03.720
<v Speaker 1>not talking. I gotta love y'all. You know they got

0:31:03.760 --> 0:31:05.959
<v Speaker 1>for you? Are you always end up in some drama?

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I telled me. I tell me I wanted him and

0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the Dream to go against each other. To me, that

0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:17.000
<v Speaker 1>had yeah, but but there there's was set up, you know,

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and and it didn't exactly. Let's three can go a

0:31:20.240 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 1>where you needed to go all right. So that's so

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:26.520
<v Speaker 1>John pretty much called me the next night like, yo,

0:31:26.600 --> 0:31:30.360
<v Speaker 1>we should go next. Alright, cool, but let's let's set

0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 1>some ground rules, you know, because something. Let's let's figure

0:31:32.520 --> 0:31:34.400
<v Speaker 1>out what I didn't go right with that and try

0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 1>to and try to, you know, try to rectify it.

0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 1>So we said, all right on the twenty songs a

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:42.280

0:31:50.480 --> 0:31:52.800

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:56.440

0:31:56.480 --> 0:31:59.840
<v Speaker 1>of wine. I'm like, damn, bro was doing it like that.

0:32:18.440 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 1>as like orders to play songs in and you know,

0:32:21.280 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 1>because I think it's hard to tell. Sometimes I feel

0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:25.640
<v Speaker 1>like people start off like not really doing the hits,

0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and then they like, what are some what some advice

0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:30.400
<v Speaker 1>you could get from having done it to make sure

0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:33.760
<v Speaker 1>that you really like and did you have everything planned out,

0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:35.719
<v Speaker 1>knowing what song you were gonna go against where you're

0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:39.160
<v Speaker 1>more spontaneous, like oh he's playing that, let me play that? Yeah,

0:32:39.320 --> 0:32:43.520
<v Speaker 1>now we um. I definitely did my research. I knew

0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 1>what I knew to a degree what he had coming

0:32:46.200 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 1>before before it came, and I set up counter songs

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:50.880
<v Speaker 1>like all right, if you played this, I'm gonna play this,

0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? And then plus was like

0:32:56.640 --> 0:33:04.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of my my cornerment here. No, that was had

0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:07.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody gotta have that right, Remember Raley had the whole

0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 1>hype man situation and the atmosphere. But yeah, I mean

0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:18.360
<v Speaker 1>it was so ours was, you know, before the thing

0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:20.040
<v Speaker 1>just really really took off. So I think we had

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:24.000
<v Speaker 1>like eight two hundred thousand people uh tune in for ours,

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and I just personally thought that it was a dope

0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:29.560
<v Speaker 1>moment for R and B. You know, nowadays hip hop

0:33:29.560 --> 0:33:31.479
<v Speaker 1>gets a bigger spotlight, that's just kind of what it is.

0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:34.760
<v Speaker 1>And but for that many people to tune in for

0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:36.720
<v Speaker 1>something that was like strictly R and B because I

0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:38.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't even I didn't play none of my pop records.

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Like we stuck. We kept it strictly like you know,

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Beyonce and Tony Braxton and Elia Kerry, Yeah get it

0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:50.680
<v Speaker 1>in the R and B space, and people stuck around

0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 1>for the whole time for R and B. So I

0:33:52.560 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 1>was like, this is this goes beyond winning or losing,

0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:58.080
<v Speaker 1>even though I personally felt like once I look back

0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:00.760
<v Speaker 1>at the playlist, he won, I go, but it went

0:34:00.840 --> 0:34:02.960
<v Speaker 1>past that. It was bigger than that it was. It

0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:05.560
<v Speaker 1>was a it was a win for for rmy I

0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 1>felt good a good part of that night. I want

0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:11.400
<v Speaker 1>to know who you think is gonna win on June team.

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:19.880
<v Speaker 1>M hm oh yeah, okay. So so I'm not sure.

0:34:20.000 --> 0:34:22.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure. I'm trying to I'm trying to think

0:34:22.880 --> 0:34:25.359
<v Speaker 1>it hits okay, because because it's it's hits. That's that's

0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:27.680
<v Speaker 1>the thing that I did. I didn't exactly agree with.

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:29.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like some battles. Even in our battle, we played

0:34:29.840 --> 0:34:33.400
<v Speaker 1>some songs that wasn't necessarily hits, just something we wrote.

0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:35.359
<v Speaker 1>I think that I think that you should stick keep

0:34:35.400 --> 0:34:38.400
<v Speaker 1>it right. I agree with that you have some people

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you lost that what it is you ain't gott enough

0:34:42.120 --> 0:34:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to play it hadn't had it. It had to at

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:48.400
<v Speaker 1>least charted in the top ten, because sometimes you have

0:34:48.480 --> 0:34:50.439
<v Speaker 1>sons that might be your favorite. There was this album

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:54.200
<v Speaker 1>catch that they're in the general public know the hits exactly.

0:34:55.520 --> 0:34:57.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a battle like it should just be hits, because

0:34:57.800 --> 0:34:59.920
<v Speaker 1>mind you, if you've done an album, if you've done

0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:02.520
<v Speaker 1>with the two albums, you got songs, if you could play, yeah,

0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:07.160
<v Speaker 1>if it's a battle, if I'm trying to win, yeah,

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he's didn't answer that well, but you thought,

0:35:11.440 --> 0:35:19.240
<v Speaker 1>and I want you to go ahead. Jes got her braids,

0:35:20.280 --> 0:35:22.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like, yeah, I'm going with Alicia Key you are.

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I hope they don't want to get

0:35:28.680 --> 0:35:31.040
<v Speaker 1>what I think. I think Alicia might get it, if

0:35:31.880 --> 0:35:34.600
<v Speaker 1>not to mention that that's happening, not to mention that

0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:38.799
<v Speaker 1>her husband owned versus. I think that's why she's gonna win.

0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:41.920
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna brig it. No, they'd be like, sorry, we

0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 1>lost John Legard. I don't know. You're working everybody on

0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the line. But they're both on Liana. We don't know what.

0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize that they're both gonna be on the piano.

0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:59.719
<v Speaker 1>That's so dope that they are Oh wow, I don't know,

0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:06.359
<v Speaker 1>why would you make some ship like that? Well, hey,

0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:10.480
<v Speaker 1>it only makes sense. So and the last thing I

0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 1>want to say is, Neo, you know, I'm sure that

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:14.560
<v Speaker 1>you have to be so happy that everything in your

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:17.920
<v Speaker 1>life has come close circle. We saw Moneta and Crystal

0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:22.000
<v Speaker 1>on the Live Together. They like each other, and I

0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:24.000
<v Speaker 1>know so many people out there wanted to be in

0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:26.399
<v Speaker 1>that situation, in that stage. You know, they've gone through

0:36:26.440 --> 0:36:29.239
<v Speaker 1>things where they have lended families and it's been really,

0:36:29.280 --> 0:36:31.840
<v Speaker 1>really difficult. So you know, what was that like for

0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you to get to that process? And if you could

0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:35.680
<v Speaker 1>give those people some advice, what would you say As

0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:38.600
<v Speaker 1>far as the man's role and making sure that women

0:36:38.719 --> 0:36:42.760
<v Speaker 1>can get along? Um, well, I mean the man plays

0:36:42.760 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 1>a role in that, but not as big a role

0:36:44.480 --> 0:36:46.440
<v Speaker 1>as you would think. Like it really comes down to

0:36:46.520 --> 0:36:50.480
<v Speaker 1>the two women being mature enough to realize that there

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:52.200
<v Speaker 1>is nothing that we could be for about that is

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:54.640
<v Speaker 1>more important than making sure that these kids are raised properably,

0:36:55.320 --> 0:36:58.040
<v Speaker 1>That these kids are raised seeing love and only love

0:36:58.120 --> 0:37:01.440
<v Speaker 1>from all of this, from all of this authoritians or whatever.

0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:04.319
<v Speaker 1>That's the part that that's the thing that that outweighs

0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:07.399
<v Speaker 1>in beef that we could ever have mine. We don't

0:37:07.440 --> 0:37:09.520
<v Speaker 1>gotta be friends if we just ain't gonna be friends.

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:11.719
<v Speaker 1>But we also ain't gonna be yelling and screaming and

0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:13.840
<v Speaker 1>bickering and fighting, fussing and fighting back and forth in

0:37:13.920 --> 0:37:17.080
<v Speaker 1>front of these kids, showing them that there's beef here.

0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:18.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, we can be cordial. I can say how

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:20.320
<v Speaker 1>do you? When you come around, you say how do we?

0:37:20.400 --> 0:37:23.440
<v Speaker 1>You go away? You know, It's it's rare, but a

0:37:23.480 --> 0:37:26.400
<v Speaker 1>blessing that that, you know, Crystal and Mo actually found,

0:37:26.760 --> 0:37:28.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, a way to become to become friends. It's

0:37:28.680 --> 0:37:30.920
<v Speaker 1>like they talked to each other more than more than

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:35.640
<v Speaker 1>they talk to me. Now I'm not I'm I'm a

0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:40.239
<v Speaker 1>little jealous, Sam, But but um yeah, it wasn't. It

0:37:40.360 --> 0:37:42.520
<v Speaker 1>was definitely not easy, you know what I'm saying. It's

0:37:42.520 --> 0:37:44.200
<v Speaker 1>it's really easy to say the words. It's a whole

0:37:44.239 --> 0:37:46.680
<v Speaker 1>other thing to now get into you your feelings and

0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:49.319
<v Speaker 1>emotions and try to apply that. It's difficult. It's very

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:52.239
<v Speaker 1>very difficult. You know, Crystal took a lot of unnecessary

0:37:52.239 --> 0:37:54.480
<v Speaker 1>backlash when we first got together because people thought that

0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I left more for a Crystal. What people didn't realize

0:37:57.640 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 1>that me and Mo had been have been separated for

0:37:59.480 --> 0:38:01.920
<v Speaker 1>a year and a half before I met Crystal, but

0:38:01.960 --> 0:38:04.600
<v Speaker 1>they just but you know how people just not take

0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:06.880
<v Speaker 1>things and create drama and and a lot of people

0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:09.759
<v Speaker 1>got that Crystal about home record and all of that,

0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:13.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, like, nigga, what you got me into

0:38:13.600 --> 0:38:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you with that? The reason for their differences though, because like,

0:38:17.960 --> 0:38:20.120
<v Speaker 1>was it just that people pinning them against each other,

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:22.480
<v Speaker 1>because if it didn't overlap, but with the point of

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:25.040
<v Speaker 1>even having an issue with each other at all, but

0:38:25.360 --> 0:38:27.759
<v Speaker 1>you want to like the next woman that gets it,

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I think above anything that they had against each other personally,

0:38:31.840 --> 0:38:34.480
<v Speaker 1>it was it was the gasoline that the media put

0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:37.120
<v Speaker 1>on the fire you got because it almost felt like

0:38:37.320 --> 0:38:39.480
<v Speaker 1>people wanted them to be against each other, you know

0:38:39.520 --> 0:38:42.120
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, Like it was real rare that anybody

0:38:42.200 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 1>was trying to be like, hey, why don't y'all you know,

0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:48.920
<v Speaker 1>you don't nobody says that, Like that's right girls and

0:38:48.960 --> 0:38:52.200
<v Speaker 1>all that. Yeah, And it's really easy, it's really easy

0:38:52.239 --> 0:38:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to talk to to to buy into that, you know

0:38:54.840 --> 0:38:56.759
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. You know, you got your friends with

0:38:56.800 --> 0:38:58.759
<v Speaker 1>an opinion, She got her friends with an opinion, and

0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:03.800
<v Speaker 1>it's and then you got it. Took them sitting down together,

0:39:04.320 --> 0:39:06.880
<v Speaker 1>sitting down in front of each other, just them too,

0:39:07.200 --> 0:39:10.000
<v Speaker 1>to come to where they are and take your friends

0:39:10.040 --> 0:39:11.879
<v Speaker 1>over there, keep your friends over there. Let's let's sit

0:39:11.960 --> 0:39:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and really be women about this and get to and

0:39:14.360 --> 0:39:17.319
<v Speaker 1>get to the bottom of what the real issue. Once

0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:19.799
<v Speaker 1>they did that, they're good. You know what I mean.

0:39:19.960 --> 0:39:23.279
<v Speaker 1>But again, that's a difficult conversation I have. But if

0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:25.440
<v Speaker 1>if I could give any advice, I say that it's

0:39:25.480 --> 0:39:28.280
<v Speaker 1>one that must be had after I got out away,

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:30.759
<v Speaker 1>because we don't. The only people that suffer at the

0:39:30.800 --> 0:39:33.480
<v Speaker 1>end of the day is them. Did I came from

0:39:33.480 --> 0:39:35.719
<v Speaker 1>that environment. I grew up in an environment where my

0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:38.560
<v Speaker 1>father was married and also had another woman that he

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:40.920
<v Speaker 1>had children brock. So there were three women bickering and

0:39:40.960 --> 0:39:44.239
<v Speaker 1>there were seven ten children involved, and I was one

0:39:44.280 --> 0:39:46.560
<v Speaker 1>of those children. So I saw my mother arguing with

0:39:46.560 --> 0:39:48.880
<v Speaker 1>his wife from arguin with his other girlfriend and fights

0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:51.279
<v Speaker 1>and busted out windows. And then I also saw as

0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I grew up that they did come together, and I

0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:58.000
<v Speaker 1>always wished for that day, Like I didn't get to

0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:00.920
<v Speaker 1>have the time that I needed with my siblings because

0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:04.480
<v Speaker 1>our parents were bickering. So at the time that that

0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:06.600
<v Speaker 1>was able to happen and they were able to come together.

0:40:06.800 --> 0:40:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like rejoicing it because now it's everybody's happy,

0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:12.840
<v Speaker 1>everybody's in love, and I just time with my family.

0:40:12.840 --> 0:40:15.200
<v Speaker 1>And I don't feel bad for wanting to be with

0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:16.840
<v Speaker 1>my dad or you know, for wanting to people my

0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:18.680
<v Speaker 1>dad's family, just because I get that's the only time
