@@AET1689i promise that’s how I feel about myself the way u said this that’s why I liked the original person comment… cause really sometimes u gotta laugh to keep from crying
Shannon is asking all the hard hitting questions! This is a full blown therapy session! I know Gary is like , “why you chose my interview to be a real journalist?”!!!
I am the child of divorce. I refused to speak to my father for 10 years. Every Christmas, Easter, and birthday he would send me card with a handwritten note telling me he would always love me, he was there when ever I was ready, and that he was praying for us to be able to heal. I’m proud to say I had to grow up and see the situation from an adult perspective vs a child. Now I talk to may Daddy at least once a week and he’s a fantastic grandparent. God is real- Gary just needs to give them their space and never speak ill of the mother regardless of her sins. The children will come back
The way you think the children owe speedy healing to the dad who willfully fractured their foundation is crazy. Love is patient. But kids don't deserve patience? While in active trauma of their parents splitting? Wow. You need to grow up. @briangoins9150
Man... Brah is hurting. This was a real lesson about family, social class, substance addiction, and race. The amount of counseling that is needed to support everyone's healing is incredible. I really hope everyone in the family gets help. He is clearly keeping us laughing to keep from crying... Blessings man.
Dang Katt is super generous. He doesn’t just offer help, doesn’t just talk, but shows up and shows out. He takes action. I notice that he never asks a person do you need my help, which will allow a person to say no. He sees a problem and takes action immediately. Sometimes he takes action before a problem occurs. I’ve always loved Katt as an entertainer and comedian. He’s my favorite. However, hearing so many positive stories about his character makes me appreciate him even more.
Agree. He is the epiome of the following Psalms which basically says if you are a person of God a person in need you should not have to ask, rather you conscience and heart should be pricked and urged to help. The opposite of this is why the world is in such a state because the "heart of man has waxed cold", others ptoblems are not thier concern and they must be to blame amd fight for themselves. Pity. All most people need is that little bit of selfless help to get back on the right track to a better life. But mever fear God sees and knows all. Pslams 37 verse 25 to 30 - I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lends; And his descendants are blessed. Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell forevermore.
I love how Shay kept it real and told him man to man he needs healing, needs to forgive forgiveness in his heart is for his well being and peace. His emotions are being held hostage.
And it probably cost him his relationship with his kids by cheating on their mom and then running from accountability during the divorce. It's funny to you because it doesn't impact someone you love.
@@tiffanylocus251 first of all he filed for divorce first, then she filed after he did in california so she would get more money then she started running.
Katt had some hype and gossip, but this just felt so genuine and real. My top interview for SURE. Cuzz is authentic at the end of the day, and that's refreshing to hear from a celebrity. He's not worried about a publicist, just being real.
This interview was the best. Mad respect for Shay, and Madd love for Gary. I pray for your healing sir, and will continue to enjoy your humor. This was the REALEST! Thank you to both great men. Blessings to Gary on his journey to healing.

People have to stop thinking cheating doesn’t destroy the WHOLE FAMILY. It fractured the love and respect a daughter has for their father. It shatters the son’s sense of identity. They see their mother in pain, family torn apart.
Gary, outside looking in.....She was/is in love with you. Women put their "whole heart" into the relationships. The fact that she forgave you speaks volumes about how deep her love was/IS. Love is a powerful thing! I pray healing for the two of you.
@@Babyjoker2222 So cheating in the first place didn't do it? Lol Cuz whether it was told or not. She wasn't going to be the same, that's still a fracture to the family.
He is playing the victim. His kids are grown. They can choose to have a relationship or not. He is a liar and a cheater and refuses to take responsibility for what he did. Now he is an old man with twins and do u think he will stop cheating, spend more time with them? Hope so but probably not.
He said he did. But that's just what men do. People have the wrong idea about prenuptial agreements. Women should be willing to come up with a contract before even saying yes to a proposal. We all know men cheat. Some only once, some once a month. Just get the contract done

@@Culturalgoddesses did you listen to this entire interview????? And if you did and know the history of him and his wife then you'll know they both aren't saints
"There can never be freedom without forgiveness." So powerful and in my heart, I know it to be true. I truly beg to reach this point with what binds me broken. Thank you for saying this sincerely.
Its even more painful to hear him talk about how he tried to manipulate this divorce proceeding. He pretty much tried to blindside her to not have to pay her
@@ondriamoore4086he clearly said that they didn’t reside in CA, that’s why he filed in their home state. If anyone wanted to manipulate it was her. She wanted 1/2 forever and that’s not fair, especially since she has her own income and no minor children.
As a grown adult who was a child of divorce; the description Shannon gave about the stages of healing with your dad is 100% accurate. As long as he tries; their relationships will be great in time.
@@jtaylor3717I like Gary. Been watching him since Comic View days, but how does a woman put hate into grown children’s hearts? He cheated, broke up their family, then had two more kids a few years later on top of admitting he wasn’t always there. Most kids are gonna feel some type of way about that. He made his bed, so now he has to live with the consequences. They don’t have to forgive him!
My heart goes out to Gary. I couldn't imagine not talking with my mom/dad for days, months, or years. Prayerfully, all will work out sooner than later including with his kids. 🙏🙏🙏
And you think along with THESE other c..nz that's funny. Rhetorical. Shannon you're reinventing SLAVERY one slow interview at a time. You still owe that sister an apology. Kevin Samuels' cult member!!
It’s so sad how his family was jealous of his success. He was so candid and honest, even when it made him look bad. I hope his relationship with his older children is restored.
I watched this interview from start to finish..with no breaks...I can listen to this man (Gary Owen) speak for hours....his transparency is second to none....😊
Gary is a rare treasure! I hope this interview propels his career even further. May he receive his flowers now while he can still appreciate them! Praying for your children to see pass the nonsense and focus on the love.
@@lhunt810yes he admitted the actions he did, but did he really take accountability? He doesn’t understand the pain and hurt he caused his family by having weak self control and insecurity. He can’t place blame on his wife or talk about her “indiscretions” because there were none. I wish he would have been honest about that instead of saying “why am I the bad guy”? Does he really not know the trauma he’s inflicted though his neglect and infidelity? So sad smh
Gary I will say that when my Dad cheated on my mom it felt like he cheated on me. I was so hurt. He did sit me down and had a convo with me and I never stopped talking to him but I was very hurt and took it personal. Kudos to you for not giving up and keeping the door open to your children.
The kids know the discretions on one side because one of the parents made sure it was heard. There were indiscretions on the other side but Gary didn't put it out there. He played fair and lost the relationship with his kids. The consequences of taking the high road were bad for him but the kids still have a parent they didn't lose faith in so in a way it is a win for some.
With my parents my mom stepped out and my siblings and I viewed it the same way. Seeing him hurt, hurt us and caused resentment for years. Oddly enough it was my father's forgiveness that made me forgive her. If he could move on why couldn't I. May he RIP ❤ He was an amazing man that showed me what Christ like love truly looks like. ❤
@KtotheG I feel bad for your mother to have birthed you. You would tell HER to be a better wife if your dad cheated instead of him being a better husband? I hope you don’t go out and have kids cause you sound like someone who would blame their child for being molested or something. Yikes!
I love that Shannon took the time to talk about forgiveness and how it is for Gary and not for his father. He is absolutely right. I pray that his relationship with his children is restored.
Life…..it’s not for the weak. Awesome real life interview. Thank you Gary for your pure openness. You touched a lot of people. I pray your children come to the realization of what really matters in life which sadly only comes to some with life losses. There’s a lot of pain throughout his life but still perseveres. As they say the greatest comedians are birthed through pain. Prayers for healing and unification 🙏
@@keyarag one that he did on Showtime that was added on Netflix later…but again his deal is with Showtime. You talking about his special “True Story”. I remember because I got Showtime just to watch it.
In all honesty, I truly hope his kids see this conversation. Their father's being real, unbiased and willing to talk. They're at that age where they're going to ask and want to know things approaching their 20s. Some kids never had a father that was even there for that. This is a blessing for them.
How make it make sense where is a rule where u can’t approach YOU CHILD with a cause. Divorce doesn’t meant you’re out off your kids too!!! This doesn’t add app
@@Jbreezy954I love Shannon’s podcast but he only has entertainers on. Hasn’t really had interesting conversations like Joe does on JRE. I personally love both tho.
Honestly speaking, Katt and Gary have two things in common, you actually BELIEVE, they’re being honest… I hope this interview does “Katt Williams” numbers!!! 😂
both their interviews seemed very sincere. I did not watch the Monique and I could only stomach so much of amanda seales. Both came of like the had an agenda and they trying too hard. This was actually an interview.
Bless his heart. I hate that they couldn't break because he was working hard not to cry. His eyes watered up and got glassy talking about his kids and his dad. Shay is right. He NEEDS to forgive his family for himself. And I pray his kids come around because he obviously loves them so incredibly much. Bless his heart...🖤
My dad cheated on my mom and I can remember her taking me by their job and saw my dad’s car parked next to the mistress. I didn’t understand then but I know my mama trashed talked my daddy so bad it played mind games with me and manipulated me into hating my dad. I became rebellious. But it took me becoming an adult and understanding the adult life and humanizing my dad and understanding my mom’s pain. Keep fighting for the kids Gary. Give them time let them live and they will become understanding and open up to you.
Yessss! My mother did the same thing but in a diff scenario where I was put in a position to physically hurt my dads Mrs. I was only 15. It rly damages u and like yourself, I eventually understood as I got older. On a good note me and my dads Mrs are OK after I apologised despite my mother still hating on her.
Cheating is unacceptable and you not wrong for hating someone who didn’t care about how his choices affected you and didn’t care to break the person who birthed you and brought you into this world you not wrong for that he was wrong for putting you in that position
I always liked Gary Owen but seeing his transparency and vulnerability makes me love this guy even more. Him saying “his children are his greatest achievement and failure at the same time” and “ when children are little they idolize you, during a divorce they demonize you and when they get older they humanize you.” This struck a chord with me and I hate that children take on the same sickness of hate from their mothers. It’s a sad but true reality. But I thank you Gary for being so transparent. Divorce with children is a horrific fight with collateral damage and no one wins in the end. Salute to you bro. Keep keeping on ✊🏾
Much respect to Gary Owen. There is no way I would sit for 2 hours with someone prying in to the most personal and intimate facets of my life. You are all that bro. Keep your head up because my boy Shannon was on some Dr. Phil stuff and you held your composure like a professional. Great job
@@skqq3250what y’all don’t understand is . These kids came out their mothers womb . They will always side with her. She did not make their heads. I feel bad for him but Gary cheated on her , that’s like cheating on the kids as well . Of course they are mad at their dad because how could you do this to their “mom” . There’s no oh he cheated on mama and that’s not none of business.
Shannon dropping jewels right here↙️ Gary: "Was I wrong?" Shannon: "No you wasn't wrong, but just because you wasn't wrong in that instance doesn't mean you can't make it right"
@@somemetalfan as Shannon said forgiveness is not for them it’s for you! You have to free your emotions and not allow what someone did to you to continuously anger you. Just keep praying on it & allow yourself to be free !
@@MakeUA-camGreatAgain1 💯🎯 the guy comes off as insincere- I can’t put my finger on it but his energy is off and the way he answers is leading and sounds like we are being pandered too.
Many people forget during a divorce, the kids also go through a heart break. Right now their hearts are broken, and perception of self is probably shattered. They need to heal and sometimes it takes time.
@@TheLykon I am not sure what's your point, because my point was aside from the cheating on their Mom, their hearts (the kids) are also broken. They too are going through heart ache, disappointed, shock etc, their perception of self literally shifted. They have their own pain in this situation, so it's no surprise they don't even want to talk to him. Someone breaks your heart, you don't want to deal with them ,and that's something I don't think Gary understands. He broke their hearts too!
I work in family law & once adult children’s parents divorce they start reflecting on everything from their childhood, they take sides, have resentment, their memories of what they were told as children during times versus what they know was really happening now that they’re adults definitely requires healing. Shoot some of them eventually realize why they’re in therapy or have certain issues from their childhood they couldn’t put their finger on
Gary: "I'm going with "Sally", a white name, cause you know it ain't true!" 😅😅😅😅😅..This was a very open and transparent interview!!! PEACE AND BLESSINGS GARY!!
I love the fact that comedian talk about having a “special”, I feel Club Shay Shay actually gives comedian in a way there “special” here in a conversation. Gary Owen definitely showcased that here, and I’m here for it.
Absent? Only a lil . Not as much as other celebs ..and cheating??? Who doesn't besides the scared and the old? Even good moral women and men are only as faithful as their options. Grow up! lol
I don't talk to my family members either and I hate it when people say forgive. We can forgive but we don't have to continually expose ourselves to abuse. Sometimes entire families are poison.
Same I don’t even speak to my family in we live in the same county. I finally had boundaries and ppl got mad. Like why I’m I purposely going to expose myself to that kind of environment when I know it’s toxic.
I can relate. Sometimes the enemy can be those in your household. Forgiveness does not mean reconciliation or that they deserve it but you deserve peace. It is definitely a choice!
I really enjoyed this podcast and appreciate Gary’s honesty and taking accountability for his actions. You can see how he laughs through his pain and childhood trauma. Shannon was spot on regarding forgiveness. I hope that Gary is able to reconcile with his adult children. Fan for life!!
No excess, no quotes, no profound statements, Gary Owens is just one of my favorite people. We all fk up and do things that are unbecoming. But he's still as genuine as they come. 👍🏽🙏💯
Love, love, love Gary Owen! I truly enjoyed this interview! I don't understand why he doesn't have a Netflix special. How is that?! Netflix needs to make that wrong, right!
This was a good one. I feel like it was sort of therapeutic for Gary and anyone watching that may relate to this. I went 15 years without talking to my dad. I finally reached out to him 2 yrs ago. Hang in there, Gary.
Congrats to you. It took several years for me. Don't feel guilty and pressured. Take your time because once you say or act out in anger then you got to start all over again.
Bruhhhh 😂 Gary Owens will forever be invited to the cookout. Hilarious on SO many levels. Definitely needs his own Netflix Special. This interview had me in tears laughing so hard 😆
This man is the definition of “ Laugh to keep from crying “ he has so much built up inside him .
Ikr! I was thinking the same thing!

"There can never be freedom without forgiveness." So powerful and in my heart, I know it to be true. I truly beg to reach this point with what binds me broken. Thank you for saying this sincerely.
This was definitely a therapy session for Gary. I pray that he and his children have a sit down and talk one day. 🙏🏼
❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah but a real therapist will help a lot more
Hearing him talk about his kids honestly was devastating. Hopefully they hear him out one day.
His kids were adults when they got divorced.....Mom didn't influence their decisions
@@Tee-kc3pnshiddddd you’d be surprised how much parents can influence their adult kids during and after divorce.
Its even more painful to hear him talk about how he tried to manipulate this divorce proceeding. He pretty much tried to blindside her to not have to pay her
@@ondriamoore4086he clearly said that they didn’t reside in CA, that’s why he filed in their home state. If anyone wanted to manipulate it was her. She wanted 1/2 forever and that’s not fair, especially since she has her own income and no minor children.
@@FLA813BMOikr! You got it
I normally don't even watch you tube this long but it all started with Katt Williams .
Me too!!! Katt brought me here
You need to go back and watch previous episodes, most of them are very good
Props...✊🏾✊🏾👊🏾
Ikr!
You don't have to watch, have on in the back ground. That's how I get through most things, I can't just sit and watch life is busy
Shanon Sharpe single handedly breaking the internet. I'm here for it.
Lord please reunite Gary and his children .. move in their heart Father and break down all barriers and repair all hearts in JESUS name!
Amen🙏🏽
Amen
Amen 🙏🏾
Amen!
Amen, we are in agreement🙏🏾☝🏿
Unk's cognac is laced with truth serum, and his questions are always straight no chaser!!! I'm here for it!! 😆
I was just thinking that 🤣
Facts!😂😂😂
As a grown adult who was a child of divorce; the description Shannon gave about the stages of healing with your dad is 100% accurate. As long as he tries; their relationships will be great in time.
Yeah but I said the same exact thing Gary did at like 3 minutes in- dude you waste NO time wtf? 😄 literally like as he’s saying it.
EXACTLY!!!
Naw if your mother puts hate in your heart it stays
Shannon sounded like he was speaking from expierence.
@@jtaylor3717I like Gary. Been watching him since Comic View days, but how does a woman put hate into grown children’s hearts? He cheated, broke up their family, then had two more kids a few years later on top of admitting he wasn’t always there. Most kids are gonna feel some type of way about that. He made his bed, so now he has to live with the consequences. They don’t have to forgive him!
My heart goes out to Gary. I couldn't imagine not talking with my mom/dad for days, months, or years. Prayerfully, all will work out sooner than later including with his kids. 🙏🙏🙏
Gary DON'T let anybody write your story, you were not your dad!!!!!!!!!!!
Period!! That was an unfair comparison
absolutely! Shannon dont know what them kids think
Facts
@@porshp8941 💯
Yes, Shannon is not qualified to make those statements, they're just opinions
Amanda 1000% preparing for her Gary Owen response after this 😂😂😂
And you think along with THESE other c..nz that's funny. Rhetorical. Shannon you're reinventing SLAVERY one slow interview at a time.
You still owe that sister an apology. Kevin Samuels' cult member!!
You better believe!!!! She leaves no stones unturned 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Sickening 🤮
Betta believe it
Most definitely
😅😅😅😅😅😅
It’s so sad how his family was jealous of his success. He was so candid and honest, even when it made him look bad. I hope his relationship with his older children is restored.
Amen 😍
Just like terry crews
All women would try to pull what she did.
I never laughed for 2 hours straight before in my life! This was a stand-up show all by itself. Love Gary Owen!!!!
I watched this interview from start to finish..with no breaks...I can listen to this man (Gary Owen) speak for hours....his transparency is second to none....😊
Some of y'all insist on calling him gary owens. Lmaooo there is no S! 😂
@@JennHayden hahahahaha! oops...my bad
Gary is a rare treasure! I hope this interview propels his career even further. May he receive his flowers now while he can still appreciate them! Praying for your children to see pass the nonsense and focus on the love.
I pray Gary’s relationship with his children heal💙
I feel so bad for him. But there is 2 side to every story
Gary don't give up brother. Stay positive. The relationship with your kids is worth it. Keep doing your thing!
I love the accountability that Gary takes in this interview
Did we watch the same interview lol?
@@reggiewatts1926 lmao 🤣 forreal - the comments are wild
@reggiewatts1926 hahahaha, exactly! Dude justified like he was Santa Claus on every situation.
@@reggiewatts1926 he definitely took accountability. He admitted to what he did without blaming her or bringing up what she did.
@@lhunt810yes he admitted the actions he did, but did he really take accountability? He doesn’t understand the pain and hurt he caused his family by having weak self control and insecurity. He can’t place blame on his wife or talk about her “indiscretions” because there were none. I wish he would have been honest about that instead of saying “why am I the bad guy”? Does he really not know the trauma he’s inflicted though his neglect and infidelity? So sad smh
Gary I will say that when my Dad cheated on my mom it felt like he cheated on me. I was so hurt. He did sit me down and had a convo with me and I never stopped talking to him but I was very hurt and took it personal. Kudos to you for not giving up and keeping the door open to your children.
My dad could've had a harem of women and I wouldn't have cared. I would told mama to step up and be a better wife.
@@KtotheGamazing how you and the original person that made the comment have different views. It proves…we are not the same
The kids know the discretions on one side because one of the parents made sure it was heard. There were indiscretions on the other side but Gary didn't put it out there. He played fair and lost the relationship with his kids.
The consequences of taking the high road were bad for him but the kids still have a parent they didn't lose faith in so in a way it is a win for some.
With my parents my mom stepped out and my siblings and I viewed it the same way. Seeing him hurt, hurt us and caused resentment for years. Oddly enough it was my father's forgiveness that made me forgive her. If he could move on why couldn't I. May he RIP ❤ He was an amazing man that showed me what Christ like love truly looks like. ❤
@KtotheG I feel bad for your mother to have birthed you. You would tell HER to be a better wife if your dad cheated instead of him being a better husband? I hope you don’t go out and have kids cause you sound like someone who would blame their child for being molested or something. Yikes!
I love that Shannon took the time to talk about forgiveness and how it is for Gary and not for his father. He is absolutely right. I pray that his relationship with his children is restored.
Was going to skip past, but man 10 mins in you can tell this guy has had such a life story you could spend hours listening
They can never make me hate, Gary! He's one of my favorite comedians.
It tough listening to Gary talk about the relationship with his kids
Dig, the distance and treatment hurt him so bad, he went and made some more kids. I pray it gets better for him!
I'm holding back tears listening to him talking about his daughter
He brought it on himself but I am hopeful he gets through it and moves on. I know they his kids but only by blood not anything else now
@@TheGr8190 yeah. he brought it on himself.
@@godsend9545 Really sounds like he abandoned them.There's no way he quit dealing with kids he wants
Mad respect to Gary for being so open about his family challenges. He's not perfect no one is but I respect his honesty and self insight
Life…..it’s not for the weak. Awesome real life interview. Thank you Gary for your pure openness. You touched a lot of people. I pray your children come to the realization of what really matters in life which sadly only comes to some with life losses. There’s a lot of pain throughout his life but still perseveres. As they say the greatest comedians are birthed through pain. Prayers for healing and unification 🙏
Gary, you NEED TO write a script about a funny divorce movie! 😂😂😂 On the run and everything!!!
That story was hilarious about dodging people so you don’t get served. 😂
10/10 episode man. Gary is just HIM
I hope his kids really let the conversation happen so everyone can be a family again.
Gary definitely needs a Netflix special. I’d watch
He's not that great at stand up
Would be a classic special.
He’s signed to Showtime. He can’t do Netflix
@@keyarag one that he did on Showtime that was added on Netflix later…but again his deal is with Showtime. You talking about his special “True Story”. I remember because I got Showtime just to watch it.
@@keyaragno he’s never a special on Netflix
In all honesty, I truly hope his kids see this conversation. Their father's being real, unbiased and willing to talk. They're at that age where they're going to ask and want to know things approaching their 20s. Some kids never had a father that was even there for that. This is a blessing for them.
Cap. You would have to be close to him to know if he’s being somewhat real.
This is the only podcast thats killing all the others
Nope Joe Rogan still king
@@acetorres8787 BIG CAP 🤣🤣 Joe fell off most of his guest nowadays boring and weird
Joe's shaking in his boots 😂
How make it make sense where is a rule where u can’t approach YOU CHILD with a cause. Divorce doesn’t meant you’re out off your kids too!!! This doesn’t add app
@@Jbreezy954I love Shannon’s podcast but he only has entertainers on. Hasn’t really had interesting conversations like Joe does on JRE. I personally love both tho.
Honestly speaking, Katt and Gary have two things in common, you actually BELIEVE, they’re being honest… I hope this interview does “Katt Williams” numbers!!! 😂
both their interviews seemed very sincere. I did not watch the Monique and I could only stomach so much of amanda seales. Both came of like the had an agenda and they trying too hard. This was actually an interview.
I did not believe half the BS Katt was saying 😂
I mean if you listen to the breakfast club he tells a different story, same parts different order and makes himself seem like the victim
Me toooooo! Gary SAVED my LIFE today? 🙏🏽 True Story 💯
@@LA314ifyI felt that
I love Gary Owens. He has always been a good comedian and I wish him well.
There's no "s" in his name
@@jeanluccouture9088 that part😄
I met Gary at the comedy club in Ontario. You just never know what’s really going on with the people that make you the happiest.
I swear this is probably the best since Katt's appearance. Gary is 100%,, period!!
“Just because you wasn’t wrong in that instance doesn’t mean you can’t make it right.” Shannon was spittin this episode 💯
That’s why I love interviews with comedians. They keep it interesting and funny.
Bless his heart. I hate that they couldn't break because he was working hard not to cry. His eyes watered up and got glassy talking about his kids and his dad. Shay is right. He NEEDS to forgive his family for himself. And I pray his kids come around because he obviously loves them so incredibly much. Bless his heart...🖤
“There could never be freedom without forgiveness.”
Appreciate ya for that one Unk!
My dad cheated on my mom and I can remember her taking me by their job and saw my dad’s car parked next to the mistress. I didn’t understand then but I know my mama trashed talked my daddy so bad it played mind games with me and manipulated me into hating my dad. I became rebellious. But it took me becoming an adult and understanding the adult life and humanizing my dad and understanding my mom’s pain. Keep fighting for the kids Gary. Give them time let them live and they will become understanding and open up to you.
Yessss! My mother did the same thing but in a diff scenario where I was put in a position to physically hurt my dads Mrs. I was only 15. It rly damages u and like yourself, I eventually understood as I got older. On a good note me and my dads Mrs are OK after I apologised despite my mother still hating on her.
Cheating is unacceptable and you not wrong for hating someone who didn’t care about how his choices affected you and didn’t care to break the person who birthed you and brought you into this world you not wrong for that he was wrong for putting you in that position
@JoyBeeeeeeee the mother was also wrong for bringing the child into that mess to begin with
@@JoyBeeeeeeeeplease don't put your kids in a position to hate their dad just because they don't like YOU.
@@anothaeasywin Personally I would never tell my child to hate their dad that is their decision but I don’t think they wrong 🤷🏾♀️
Gary Owens seem so cool!! One day, his children will have that long overdue talk with their dad. 🙏🏾
Some of y'all insist on calling him gary owens. Lmaooo there is no S!
@@JennHayden he know his name lol. A simple mistake with a (s) smh
When Mama is hurt or still hurting ain’t nobody gonna be happy. Betrayal hurt is hard to get over. Wishing both healing and happiness.
I always liked Gary Owen but seeing his transparency and vulnerability makes me love this guy even more. Him saying “his children are his greatest achievement and failure at the same time” and “ when children are little they idolize you, during a divorce they demonize you and when they get older they humanize you.” This struck a chord with me and I hate that children take on the same sickness of hate from their mothers. It’s a sad but true reality. But I thank you Gary for being so transparent. Divorce with children is a horrific fight with collateral damage and no one wins in the end. Salute to you bro. Keep keeping on ✊🏾
Much respect to Gary Owen. There is no way I would sit for 2 hours with someone prying in to the most personal and intimate facets of my life. You are all that bro. Keep your head up because my boy Shannon was on some Dr. Phil stuff and you held your composure like a professional. Great job
Me either. Why would a woman turn her frown kids against the father when there aren’t many good dads out here!!!
Because she's selfish and wanted others to resent him like she does. @@skqq3250
@@skqq3250what y’all don’t understand is . These kids came out their mothers womb . They will always side with her. She did not make their heads. I feel bad for him but Gary cheated on her , that’s like cheating on the kids as well . Of course they are mad at their dad because how could you do this to their “mom” . There’s no oh he cheated on mama and that’s not none of business.
Shannon dropping jewels right here↙️
Gary: "Was I wrong?"
Shannon: "No you wasn't wrong, but just because you wasn't wrong in that instance doesn't mean you can't make it right"
❤❤yes
Nah man, I actually want an answer to this. How do you forgive someone that is not sorry for what they did!?
@@somemetalfan as Shannon said forgiveness is not for them it’s for you! You have to free your emotions and not allow what someone did to you to continuously anger you. Just keep praying on it & allow yourself to be free !
@@somemetalfanlike he said it’s not for them, it’s for you
@@Quelifornia I get that. But I still haven't been able to do it in my own life. It doesn't make sense. But I'm still young.
That Segway from Gary’s family story to dating was wild af.
y'all gotta remember unc didn't ask him all that. that was gary needing to let go of some stuff.
He's naturally funny and charismatic. He needs a netflix special...
He tries too hard. He doesn't seem authentic.
Yep
@@MakeUA-camGreatAgain1he’s actually funny on stage. I just think he don’t care too much for the politics.
He has a few specials you can find them
@@MakeUA-camGreatAgain1 💯🎯
the guy comes off as insincere- I can’t put my finger on it but his energy is off and the way he answers is leading and sounds like we are being pandered too.
Many people forget during a divorce, the kids also go through a heart break. Right now their hearts are broken, and perception of self is probably shattered. They need to heal and sometimes it takes time.
They’re adults, so I’m sure that makes it easier to comprehend
Yeah but he cheated on there mom. Children usually side with the mom
@@TheLykon I am not sure what's your point, because my point was aside from the cheating on their Mom, their hearts (the kids) are also broken. They too are going through heart ache, disappointed, shock etc, their perception of self literally shifted. They have their own pain in this situation, so it's no surprise they don't even want to talk to him. Someone breaks your heart, you don't want to deal with them ,and that's something I don't think Gary understands. He broke their hearts too!
I work in family law & once adult children’s parents divorce they start reflecting on everything from their childhood, they take sides, have resentment, their memories of what they were told as children during times versus what they know was really happening now that they’re adults definitely requires healing. Shoot some of them eventually realize why they’re in therapy or have certain issues from their childhood they couldn’t put their finger on
It’s been 3.5 years. There mother is talking to him so why aren’t they?
Gary: "I'm going with "Sally", a white name, cause you know it ain't true!" 😅😅😅😅😅..This was a very open and transparent interview!!! PEACE AND BLESSINGS GARY!!
5 months later and Gary is now talking to one of his kids HIS SON ☺️🤗
“I ain’t saying he went to the capital… but he was at the monument” this was goood & funny lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Hilarious!
😂
I love the fact that comedian talk about having a “special”, I feel Club Shay Shay actually gives comedian in a way there “special” here in a conversation. Gary Owen definitely showcased that here, and I’m here for it.
This show got emotional for me when Gary started talking about his kids and his father. I saw all the pain and emotions in his face. I was tearing upb
This was by far the best interview on club Shay Shay, best ever.
People please dont put your kids in a position to hate their mom/dad just because they DON'T LIKE YOU anymore.
Kids are smarter than you think. They watch how you treat their mom or dad.
Absent father and constantly cheating the man watching what their mother went through is why his children is not talking to him.
Absent? Only a lil . Not as much as other celebs ..and cheating??? Who doesn't besides the scared and the old? Even good moral women and men are only as faithful as their options. Grow up! lol
@Ohh_Is_That_Sooo... No you need to grow up and get some help SOON if this is how you think!
Well, they don’t put their kid in a position. They put their self in one and kids learn not to like them because of that.
I pray Gary mends his relationship with his kids! He's such a cool dude!
I don't talk to my family members either and I hate it when people say forgive. We can forgive but we don't have to continually expose ourselves to abuse. Sometimes entire families are poison.
Wow. Don't I know it. We don't HAVE to be EXPOSED to abuse just because we share DNA.
You dont have to be around those people fam, forgive them and keep it moving.
Same I don’t even speak to my family in we live in the same county. I finally had boundaries and ppl got mad. Like why I’m I purposely going to expose myself to that kind of environment when I know it’s toxic.
100% agreed! Boundaries are EVERYTHING!!
I can relate. Sometimes the enemy can be those in your household. Forgiveness does not mean reconciliation or that they deserve it but you deserve peace. It is definitely a choice!
I really enjoyed this podcast and appreciate Gary’s honesty and taking accountability for his actions. You can see how he laughs through his pain and childhood trauma. Shannon was spot on regarding forgiveness. I hope that Gary is able to reconcile with his adult children. Fan for life!!
tear-jerker when he is yearning for his children. He is a good guy. I hope he makes it through!
Gary has tough skin for sho! This was one of the most courageous interviews I’ve seen in a while. Appreciated his honesty for real. 😎💯🤜🏿🤛🏻
I love Gary .. you can tell he’s a genuine dude .. he’s just himself and he takes accountability 🫡💯
I love Gary. He was raw and to the point. Little humor but I could feel the pain
No excess, no quotes, no profound statements, Gary Owens is just one of my favorite people. We all fk up and do things that are unbecoming. But he's still as genuine as they come. 👍🏽🙏💯
Nothing genuine about it.
I agree 100%
Absolutely
THERE IS NO S IN HIS NAME 😅
@@dieudonneenooitmeer4653nothing genuine?!? You a 🤡 FR!
Bruh said “just because you wasn’t wrong don’t mean you can’t make it right” real af
Yes! 👊🏽
Best advice in the world
And I’m still stuck on how he thinks he wasn’t wrong for neglecting his kids and his infidelity 🥴
One of the most underrated comedians out there! Gary a beast💯
Love, love, love Gary Owen! I truly enjoyed this interview! I don't understand why he doesn't have a Netflix special. How is that?! Netflix needs to make that wrong, right!
This was a good one. I feel like it was sort of therapeutic for Gary and anyone watching that may relate to this.
I went 15 years without talking to my dad. I finally reached out to him 2 yrs ago. Hang in there, Gary.
Yes he needed this interview.
Congrats to you. It took several years for me. Don't feel guilty and pressured. Take your time because once you say or act out in anger then you got to start all over again.
Bruhhhh 😂 Gary Owens will forever be invited to the cookout. Hilarious on SO many levels. Definitely needs his own Netflix Special. This interview had me in tears laughing so hard 😆
Owens😂😂😂💪🏾 He said we always add the S
The off-camera laughter is THE BEST‼‼‼😆😆😆
Mr. Owen...you got me now...I look forward to supporting your endeavors.
