00:03:39Find another host.
00:03:40Beverly please don't do this we have a show.

00:03:52I can do it.
00:03:53No.
00:03:54I'm only the best story producer that you've had in the past three years.
00:03:57Don't even think about it Stella we need someone who has on-camera experience and you know this.
00:04:02Oh please Steven.
00:04:04Everyone can we please have the room?
00:04:15What are we gonna do?
00:04:16Even if I find a new person they're not going to be able to fit into the flow of this place
00:04:19the way that I can and I can produce my own segments give it a chance.
00:04:24This is a test.
00:04:26One segment if the viewers like you maybe I will consider letting you host for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:04:35Well thank you Steven how gracious.
00:04:40If they love you I may be open to the possibility of hearing ideas for your own show.
00:04:48Steven you know it has always been my dream to have your own show.
00:04:51I know I said may okay.
00:04:53You have two days to come up with the story because we are streaming live this weekend.
00:04:57Two days live?

00:35:26whatever you do do not stop rolling this is embarrassing please cut to the bov cam pov
00:35:43oh god please please tell me that we are not related uh Shiloh's your grandfather right
00:35:51so my mom and Shiloh were siblings which means you guys second are
00:36:02third cousins no oh god no I grew up in Boston with my mother's family I never even knew my
00:36:10dad's side you know what it's true I'm Quentin's dad Stella it's nice to meet you although
00:36:19the circumstances are just sketchy as hell I mean I had been told that you were dead
00:36:27no that was his mom when he was young I see I must have really misunderstood
00:36:33you know it would be great to talk to you son it's been years what's the rush
00:36:40oh man oh I'm just saying that I don't want them to do something that they don't want to
00:36:53do honey Quentin and Stella are young they'll get over it and it's just a good thing that they
00:36:58found out now right well me inviting Fordell saved you two from having a three-legged grandchild
00:37:05I think you owe me look let's not be rash people what if they decide that they still
00:37:11want to get married and go through with it what right it could happen if I had my phone I could
00:37:17google to see whether it was legal or not well let's just look at this from a biblical standpoint
00:37:23now if in the beginning there was only Adam and Eve then this really ain't so bad because after
00:37:29all Eve actually came from Adam that's not the image I want in my head right now I don't care
00:37:35so technically that means that we're all related look stop the bottom line is if it's their
00:37:40decision and if they want to go through with it fine and if you have anything else to say
00:37:45I'm telling you right now to get a life because once you start to live a life fulfilled you'll
00:37:50stop worrying about the lives of others download my web series getalife.com prestona.com Terrence

00:38:29us into you liar what baby I just found out the same time you found out our whole relationship
00:38:35has been a lie okay but it could have been avoided if you just told me the truth about
00:38:40everything no wait time's up my mom yes my dad just dead to me he wasn't around no he wasn't
00:38:47around babe people lie to protect the ones they love okay then from what he humiliated okay what
00:38:51else could I say all right father's day is coming up how about let's try and track mine down you is
00:38:56would that have worked this all could have been avoided why are we even talking about my dad here
00:38:59all right we should be talking about the fact that we're cousins I thought we were talking
00:39:03about the fact that we're cousins which is something that we did not know because you
00:39:06didn't tell me that you had parents that were living if you show me a picture of the guy I
00:39:09could have told you I was related to him maybe possibly he'd be standing next to a relative of
00:39:13mine but no you didn't give me any choice you just just incestuously ruined my life so you're
00:39:19saying you wish we were avoided how's it gonna look on television if I marry my cousin have a
00:39:24whole camera crew here in my family's house okay hey hbcu good yeah looks good drink not you me
00:39:38oh my god mom grown folks drink honey
00:39:44so you want the real story
00:39:47okay here's something interesting none of this would have happened if my sister Baylor hadn't
00:39:55gotten herself involved with a married man personally I was hoping she'd open the door
00:39:59for me because I wanted to do what I wanted to do too and I had my eye on a white gal that was just
00:40:07oh sorry anyway because Baylor didn't believe in spanking Fordell just did whatever the heck
00:40:14he wanted I mean he got a girl pregnant at 16 he was just ripping and running the streets
00:40:19and quiet as cat that Angela oh that was a hot one too I'm still surprised she turned out to be
00:40:26mayor anyway all I'm saying is if Fordell were my child I would have spanked that behind so hard
00:40:34child protective services would still have my picture hanging on the wall to this day
00:40:38would you please just stay away from the camera and would you give me that so-called recipe
00:40:51make me sick the stunner's mom just throw out some gang signs yes and did auntie just say

00:56:40of a family but I see all that matters around here is everyone's everyone's
00:56:48selfish ambitions you know there's more to life than climbing the ladder of
00:56:56success and stepping on the ones that love you just to get there
00:57:07I'm out of here

00:59:15anger issues I mean he is dishonest I don't and your poor boss I mean
00:59:19hopefully he realizes it's not your fault why don't you like Quentin because
00:59:29he reminds me of my ex-husband I fell in love with him and his big old dreams you
00:59:39know and we went bankrupt due to his potential Quentin is the same man if you
00:59:46follow his dreams you struggle like I did why didn't he ever tell me that I
00:59:53never knew you were married before dad because I work very hard to build on a
01:00:00clean slate and I vowed that me no my children would ever have to deal with
01:00:08that ever again honey I know you're hurting please just trust me
01:00:38exact spot I met your mother you just two kids trying to figure things out and
01:00:50then you came into the world and life happened so fast are you even here like
01:00:57I was 16 scared sure I would mess your life up you were just that perfect you
01:01:12know used to used to grab my leg and look at me with them big old eyes and be
01:01:17like you know you're the most bestest daddy in the whole world but you know
01:01:24the crazy thing I knew I would have to live up to that title someday and that
01:01:29scared the hell out of me Quentin so I just figured I would pursue my music and
01:01:38then come back when I got it all together it just never happened I was
01:01:43scared too me I was scared too when when mama died
01:01:49and I was worried about you and I prayed and I hope that you will be there for me
01:01:57when I couldn't figure it all out and you never were
01:02:02I used to I used to ask God you know what I never thought God heard my prayers
01:02:20until Stella came into my life and then I realized that every time I took a
01:02:28drink every every single time I took a drink it was so that I wouldn't think
01:02:35about you and the worst part about it
01:02:41it's for your being like you're sorry ass
01:02:49you're a much better man than I ever was Quentin
