1:39:46 This is something I think about all the time. I like to have 1-2 drinks. I dont like to feel out of control, and I dont like to pay the price in the morning. Do I have a healthy relationship with Alcohol or am I in denial?

Seriously… Terry's look isn't all that unique in today's day and age. Now, looks are important, I'm not trying to refute that.
But… I'm gonna go out on a, pretty sturdy, limb and say that the reason that he is where he is at the moment is 99,99% talent.
Sure… peck-poppin' wouldn't be possible without the physique, but to take that and turn it into "a thing" is pure talent (!!!).

Part of me wants to say, "Terry, take an improv class." But… maybe that's me being an idiot. Really not sure. You might simply learn "imrprov's not for me."

Terry is just straight up awesome! It is so great when people share something about themselves and you can really tell it is coming straight from their soul. & when Terry said comedy is therapy, absolutely true. I just realized that I had been low key depressed for about a year, but bc I have been doing a deep dive into comedy…well, it seriously saved me many days.

I don't think white and black men have stopped trying to dominate each other since slavery. I call it the Slave Master Training that young boys get to prepare them to fight for the rest of their lives. And this struggle for dominance has melted into the male/female relationship where men have to dominate their women. I call it the Hostility Toward Women as Communication – to keep them inline without saying anything. I was in the military so I know what I'm talking about. It's pain shit. peace

You really can tell when someone is Healing from their past by how they are Grateful for all they went through to Grow up…
I call it Collateral Beauty – finding the Beauty in the worst situations requires time to ourselves to find the wisdom and beauty it brings inside of us. Thanks Terry, I've loved you and your work for decades. peace

I didn't know how awful Terry's youth was. It's hard to imagine, knowing how great of an adult he turned into.

Riveting. Terry's openness. Neal knowing just the right time and way to acknowledge, to question. A revelation of the human condition. The ring of truth straight through.
