[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
Uh, no, it wouldn't be the first turn they rat at me.
But after shattering expectations
I got to be one step ahead at all times
because I know my abilities are like a gold mine.
MARTELL: Have you started on your workout?
MARSAU: Yeah. - Yep?
MARSAU: Yep.
So you already touched your goal?
I got the picture in my--
So who you-- who you want to look like?
Don't bring out a picture of me now.
Morris Chestnut?
Dude, this-- this ain't me.
That's actually me--
Oh, OK.
--in 2018.
So that's my goal.
What's your time frame?
I'm thinking about 120 days.
Four months?
Yeah.
If that's your goal, that should be my goal too.
MARSAU: That's how long it took me.
What's that even? Four months?
Yep. MARTELL: OK.
Yeah, that work. That work.
I've taking the contractors exam a couple of times
and, well, I didn't pass it.
So I'm going to try to do something a little different
by going to Marsau.
He's going to help me pass the test
and in return, I'm going to help him get in some shape,
good shape, that is.
And become a little bit more attractive person.
What I would say for you to deal with this--
and you're going to have to come in, immerse yourself into it.
Yeah.
And to immerse yourself into it,
you got to start seeing the world through those eyes.
OK.
This is, like, a real good study guide.
Yeah, over all the books.
Yeah, because it helps you understand, you know,
where a lot of the questions are coming from.
And, I mean, I got this off the actual--
the official website.
This is what they give you like in those classes,
when you take those classes for a couple thousand dollars,
which is what I'm kind of giving you.
Well, I'm not giving you because we're trading.
Yeah, and I appreciate that.
Little barter going on.
We hit the gym.
Yeah.
You get fit, and we hit these books.
Bet.
That's the bet.
What you think about, um, the core six being?
We calling it the core six instead of the comeback group?
Y'all made that known.
What?
Don't call it a comeback.
It was refreshing.
It was to me.
It was refreshing to me too because I'm tired of hearing
about the damn comeback group.
I mean, like, for real--
I mean, because it's--
Because they ain't never did nothing and it was so powerful.
Yeah, yeah.
It's good that someone is actually owning
this place like you guys have. - Yeah, yeah.
Because if it was just left up to, like, a group of people
trying to manage it together--
Yeah, jockeying for leadership, and I
think it should go this way, I think it should go this way.
I think it was beneficial.
I really like the fact that, you know, T took the initiative
and said, I'm going to bring it to the group--
MARTELL: Yeah. - --something.
And I think it was positive.
I think I like the overall feedback.
How you feeling? - You about to stay positive.
I mean, I like the whole concept.
You know, that's really giving back to the community.
I feel good.
But, I mean, I just want to make sure that--
I mean, I hope everybody can work together.
Yeah, I think they can.
Everybody's professional in their own right.
So I know everybody can work together,
as long as we don't grow stagnant or anything
and just keep moving forward.
You know the good thing about it is?
Everybody doesn't need to work together.
Yeah.
It's not going to be something that we're even
going to accept friction in. - I'm with you.
So-- so we don't have to worry about the positivity,
the conflict.
I want to make sure you understand
that too, that we're not-- this is literally
a coalition of the willing.
When-- when did Tisha and Mel become besties again?
I don't know. I don't know.
When they started standing up and--
I said, what the hell?
- When did that happen? - I don't know.
I think it--
Is it real?
I think that they just chose to move on.
Yeah?
You know, why-- why--
be bogged down with the same thing over and over and over--
I know, continuously.
That's why-- that's why I'm surprised that
they even came back circle because it's like
they keep falling--
every time they get cool, they fall out.
Cool, fall out.
Tisha got invited to Malia and Mariah's--
- Party. - Yeah.
I'd be surprised that Melody doing this stuff.
And for the birthday, I'm like, you inviting people that you
said not even your friends.
Last year--
Mm-hmm.
You know, when Melody had the kids from me for 56 days,
I didn't get to go to Mariah's party.
I didn't see them for their birthdays.
Mariah or Malia.
She didn't call me on Malia's birthday.
She didn't call me on my daughter's birthday.
And I'm still tripping like--
like, what is the big deal for me to celebrate my daughter
on her birthday, you know?
Mariah's has been emailing me, you
know, saying that she want me to come
and-- and that mom said that you can come.
So I'm like, all right, cool.
Are y'all still going through this, man?
What do you think the problem is?
I don't--
Martell, Martell.
She don't want nobody seeing that
she's actually working with me in terms
of effective co-parenting.
She don't want anybody to see that.
She don't want nobody to see that she's
being nice or cool with me.
It got to be.
What else could it be? - Yeah.
One thing about-- I'm trying to stay peaceful.
No, because I don't mess up your peace.
I don't say anything wrong.
I don't do anything wrong.
It's all about the kids.
She can call my phone and talk to the kids whenever.
And I said, I don't have a number to call
my kids when they're with her.
I just want her to do right.
I don't understand.
I can't give you no advice.
You might talk to Reese about this.
Me telling you what I would do and what I think Tisha would do
if we were ever in that situation,
that's just purely hypothetical.
Yeah, man.
I just don't see myself in any situation
saying, I don't want my kids to see their mom or their--
their dad.
I'm the same way.
I-- I-- always tell Melody that I
want to see my kids every special day
on that special day.
But Melody, she'll go with Thanksgiving or Christmas.
We'll celebrate it next week.
I mean, that's cool.
You know, but that don't mean I feel like that.
It's a tough situation, man.
My heart goes out to you because I hate the fact that it's--
it's something that's important as kids.
If it's about the children I feel that,
yeah, Melody should have extended an invitation to me.
To anything dealing with my children-- birthday, special--
special days, anything, dealing with them in school.
Something like that, yeah.
Make sure that I'm invited, I'm going
to make sure that she's invited if it's my time, you know?
We're not celebrating each other,
we celebrating our children.
Yeah, she was the same as it's always been.
Yeah.
Well, I'm not letting up nowhere.
