>> A MAN IN NEW JERSEY UNFORTUNATELY PASSED AWAY
DUE TO LUNG CANCER.
HE PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 55, HIS NAME WAS LEROY BLACK.
APPARENTLY HE DID NOT ONLY HAVE A WIFE, BUT ALSO A LONGTIME
GIRLFRIEND.
EACH OF THEM ARE FEUDING OVER WHO WILL GET TO WRITE THE
OBITUARY.
AS A RESULT, THEY EACH WROTE THEIR OWN OBITUARY, AND THE
PRESS OF ATLANTA CITY DECIDED TO PUBLISH BOTH OF THEM
SIDE-BY-SIDE.
AMAZING.
>> HIS NICKNAME WAS BLAST, AND THEY LITERALLY PUT HIM ON BLAST.
>> HIS WIFE WROTE, "HIS –
HE IS SURVIVED BY HIS LOVING WIFE AND HIS SON.
HE WAS ALSO A FATHER TO MALCOLM AND JOSIAH HARRISON
FITZPATRICK."
>> JAZZ BLACK IS A BAD ASS NAME, RANDOM NOTE.
>> THERE'S APART FROM HIS WIFE'S OBITUARY.
HIS LONGTIME GIRLFRIEND WROTE THE FOLLOWING, "HE IS SURVIVED
BY HIS SON, SIBLINGS, AND A HOST OF OTHER FAMILY, FRIENDS AND
NEIGHBORS; AND HIS LONGTIME GIRLFRIEND, PRINCESS HALL."
SO, I MEAN...
IT'S INTERESTING.
IS THIS WHAT HAPPENS TO MARRIAGE DOWN THE LINE?
YOU JUST ACCEPT THE FACT, YOU'RE MARRIED, YOU'RE THE MAIN
SQUEEZE, BUT YOU HAVE SOME FUN ON THE SIDE?
>> IT SEEMS LIKE IN THIS CASE HE WAS DE FACTO POLYGAMIST.
THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE SOMEBODY ON THE SIDE, THAT SOUNDS LIKE HE
HAD TWO WIVES.
SHE'S NAMING LIKE – SHE'S LISTING LIKE 18
DIFFERENT CHARACTERS FROM GOOD TIMES, AND THEY'RE ALL PART
OF HIS FAMILY AND THE OTHER ONES GOT THE OTHER FAMILY.
BY THE WAY, THERE'S A VERY FAMOUS REPORTER, I ALWAYS
FORGET HIS NAME AND DON'T WANT TO DEFAME THE WRONG PERSON,
BUT AFTER THE – AFTER HE DIED THEY FOUND OUT, MR.
RESPECTED JOURNALIST FROM CBS ALSO HAD A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT FAMILY IN A DIFFERENT PART OF THE COUNTRY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO THAT, HOW DO THEY HAVE THE TIME?
>> THAT'S THE BEST POINT.
I CAN UNDERSTAND HAVING A FAMILY AND REALLY STRUGGLING WITH
THE BURDENS OF RAISING A FAMILY.
THERE'S A LOT OF HARD WORK THAT GOES INTO A MARRIAGE, AND
RAISING KIDS.
FOR SOME PEOPLE, THE OUTLET IS TO HAVE AN AFFAIR.
I'M NOT EXCUSING IT, IT'S WRONG AND THERE SHOULD BE OPEN
COMMUNICATION.
WHO KNOWS, MAYBE YOUR PARTNER WOULD BE OPEN TO HAVING
OUTSIDE RELATIONS IN THE MARRIAGE.
NONETHELESS, WHY WOULD YOU WANT THE BURDEN OF RAISING TWO
FAMILIES?
THAT SOUNDS AROUND US.
>> IN THIS CASE APPARENTLY THEY BOTH KNEW EACH OTHER.
THEY ARE FIGHTING.
WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE HEADACHE.
BY THE WAY, THERE'S NO WAY MY FRIEND BLAST OVER HERE ALSO
DIDN'T HAVE SEVERAL OTHER GIRLS ON THE SIDE.
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT RUNNING TWO FAMILIES AND THEN YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE MORAL PROBLEMS WITH HAVING OTHER GIRLS,
YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
I COULD BE WRONG, BUT MAYBE HE WAS THE MOST PRINCIPLED
POLYGAMIST.
NO, TWO FAMILIES AND ONLY TWO FAMILIES.
>> THE VAST MAJORITY OF DIVORCES ARE BECAUSE OF EXTRAMARITAL
AFFAIRS AND INFIDELITY.
IF THAT'S OUR HUMAN NATURE, HOW CAN WE FIND WAYS TO SOLVE THAT?
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S SUPER UNREALISTIC TO THINK THAT YOUR
PARTNER IS GOING TO BE FAITHFUL TO YOU FOR DECADES.
IT'S UNREALISTIC.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, I WILL CUT A BITCH.
I WILL.
BUT ON A VERY RADICAL – ON A VERY RATIONAL, LOGICAL
HUMAN LEVEL, I UNDERSTAND WHERE IT COMES FROM.
>> RIGHT AFTER YOU CUT HER YOU'LL BE LIKE, I
UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DID IT, I'LL STILL CUT YOU.
>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SHE'D DO IT – WELL I DO, CHRISTIAN IS
FINE – I UNDERSTAND WHY HE WOULD DO IT.
SOMETIMES YOU GET TEMPTED.
EVENLY OF STATE, SOMETIMES YOU WANT FRIED CHICKEN, OR I
DON'T KNOW, GRILLED SALMON.
>> DOES ANYBODY GET THE SENSE THAT THIS STORY IS NOT
ABOUT LEROY BLACK, BUT ABOUT ANA KASPARIAN?
HONESTLY, ONE WAY TO DO IT IS A WAY THAT OUR SOCIETY IS NOT
YET COMFORTABLE WITH, WHICH IS OPEN MARRIAGES.
WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THERE YET, WE ARE STILLING IN –
WE'RE STILL LIVING IN THE OLD WORLD AND OLD ASSUMPTIONS
OF, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
MARY SUE AND BILLY BOB HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 58 YEARS AND NEVER
LOOK AT ANOTHER PERSON.
THEY LOOK AT OTHER PEOPLE, OKAY?
AND AT THOSE CONVENTIONS?
PHILLY BOB CLEANED UP.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW, AND EVEN IF HE DIDN'T.
BY THE WAY, A LOT OF THEM LIVED IN SMALL TOWNS IN KANSAS, THEY
HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS, SO PEOPLE FORGET THAT PART OF IT.
>> THAT'S THE SOLUTION, MOVE TO A SMALL TOWN IN KANSAS.
>> IN THIS DAY AND AGE, YES IT IS DEFINITELY DIFFERENT,
BUT PEOPLE REFUSED TO KNOWLEDGE THAT IT'S DIFFERENT.
I THINK, AND THIS IS NOT PERSONAL, TO ANSWER YOUR
LITTLE QUESTION OF WHERE YOU THINK SOCIETY IS GOING TO GO?
IF I HAD TO GUESS, AND I LIKE TO GUESS, I'M GOING TO GUESS THAT
OPEN MARRIAGES ARE GOING TO BECOME MUCH MORE COMMON
SOON, REALLY SOON.
BECAUSE HOW MUCH CHEATING CAN WE DO BEFORE WE REALIZE, OH MY
GOD IT TURNS OUT PEOPLE CHEAT.
IT TURNS OUT THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT MONOGAMOUS.
WHEN IS THAT GOING TO GET THROUGH OUR THICK SKULLS?
>> I KNOW, BUT JEALOUSY IS A POWERFUL THING.
BY THE WAY, JUST TO BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR I WOULD
ACTUALLY CUT A BITCH, THAT'S JUST A FIGURE OF SPEECH.
>> THAT'S WHY WE'RE STUCK IN THE PREDICAMENT THAT WE'RE IN,
BECAUSE IT IS A SUPER POWERFUL URGE TO PROCREATE WITH MANY
DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
IT'S TRUE FOR MEN, IT'S TRUE FOR WOMEN, WE ARE LITERALLY
BUILT AND PROGRAMMED THAT WAY.
AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS ALSO A TOTALLY NORMAL HUMAN URGE
TO BE SUPER JEALOUS.
SOME ARGUE THAT WE ARE NOT PROGRAM THAT WAY, THAT IT
IS SOCIETY OR CULTURE.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
EVERY SOCIETY, AND FOR BIOLOGICAL REASONS IT MAKES
SENSE, YOU DON'T WANT YOUR WOMAN TO RUN OFF AND GET THEM PREGNANT
BY SOMEONE ELSE AND THEN YOU'VE GOT TO RAISE THEIR KID.
THAT IS AN EVOLUTIONARY GIANT DISADVANTAGE.
FOR WOMEN, YOU WANT YOUR GUIDE TO STICK AROUND AND HELP YOU
RAISE THE KID.
I KNOW THIS IS OVER SIMPLIFYING, BUT THAT IS WHY JEALOUSY IS
ALSO TOTALLY HUMAN, AND THEY ARE IN CONFLICT WITH ONE ANOTHER.
IT IS VERY HARD TO RESOLVE.
MY GUESS IS, TRYING TO KEEP ONE SIDE BOTTLED UP FOR 50
YEARS IS PROBABLY NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER.
QUESTION TRUE, WE'LL SEE HOW THIS DEVELOPS IN COMING YEARS.
>> WELL IT'S NOT GOING TO DEVELOP AT ALL FOR LEROY BLACK,
BECAUSE HE'S DEAD.
