[@rosieb9]

Shay needs to work on his interview skills. Gary just poured his heart out and told such a traumatic story and Shay just blew right past it with an irrelevant question. 😩 I hope Gary can find peace one day. 😢

[@wraith31]

Or he tries to keep the balance so emotional doesn’t go to far. Some people laugh to try and change the tune.

[@barbarasaunders2160]

It was like he didn't even hear a word Gary said. Even Gary was thinking Shannon would have a better response, than just moving onto the next question. He could have said sorry to hear that man, hopefully you and your family can work things out.

[@fifward6399]

This is a conversation, not an interview. He couldn't let Gary get to emotional, it would ruin the conversation.

I served in both the navy and the army ( tho not at the same time-LOL ) had fun in both branches,but,really doubled down in the army-LOL. Was enlisted dating female,army officers ( 1st & 2nd Lts ) just never got caught. LOL. Was messing around with my female,platoon sgt ( she was an E-7 and I was a E-5 at that time ) while I was stationed in Korea,we were both single tho. For some reason folks in the army really liked me,don't know why,but,I guess because I very charming,charismatic and made people laugh,a lot. But,because I was fairly popular and charmed the ladies,had a lot of male haters,shouldn't have been surprised tho. Learned these skills while living in a bad-HOOD-in Philly,made all the drug dealer laugh,whenever I saw them,because you can't be angry and laugh at the same time.Endorphins are released when you laugh,get the picture,so I did the same in the military.

"I was 3-30 I beat the same guy 3x" 🤣

[@llwc9435]

His stepfather wasn't the worst person in his world. It was his mother. She allowed the stepfather into his life, so he needs to blame her for what he went through.

[@annetteburgesswriter]

💯

[@lyniyahmystique1907]

Agreed.

[@Disco-xy4nz]

If Gary himself didn’t blame his mother then why are you doing it ? He said his stepfather was the worst so let that man tell his story without you adding your own verdict. He was raised in the home, not you.

[@llwc9435]

​@@Disco-xy4nz You are wrong. Gary is wrong. I'm not saying his stepfather wasn't a bad person. I'm saying his stepfather would have only had an affect on him because his mother allowed it. If she removed the stepfather from the equation, that part of Gary's life would have clearly been different. So, again, his mother was the worst person in his life...for allowing the stepfather to affect Gary in such a way.

[@sirmichaelbest]

​@@Disco-xy4nz just because Gary can't hold his mother accountable for letting the wrong men into their lifes doesn't mean we are wrong to

[@emberskelly4524]

Everyone has a group or a few of those family members that you don't want to deal with, because they're messy, negative, or always out to hurt you.

[@jasonhoppe781]

The title is misleading. Gary never compared his trauma he just said his was worse than how Eminem’s was portrayed on 8mile the movie. Mainly because of an abusive step father.

[@taterd1028]

But isn't saying his was WORSE the definition of making a comparison??? Maybe it's my public school education 🤔

[@mikest8758]

He was comparing to eminem character in 8 mile, NOT eminem real life

[@AztecDread]

Gary pours put his heart about his brother's gravesite fighting with his mom about to get killed by his brother and step dad ans Shannon asks "so you like sisters huh" 😂😂 TF

@15:18 Shannon doesn't even care about what Gary just said.... what an insane segue to a whole other topic.

[@Flaxon-Waxon]

Honestly, that was kind of embarrassing.

[@scottytoohotty1986]

Lol Shannon probably has a set number of questions he wants to ask that are pre-written but he doesn’t know how to transition the conversation like a seasoned interviewer.

[@barbarasaunders2160]

@scottytoohotty1986 probably true, but Gary's story needed some kind of reaction, not just on to the next one 🥴🫤

[@gennarocollidi1329]

i agree, so embarrassing

[@acd1168]

He’s not a journalist.

[@joshdelagarza231]

Love Shannon, but asking Gary about interracial dating after he just relived confronting his mom for the last time at his brother’s grave, might be the worst interview transition I’ve ever heard.

[@bubbagump9662]

[@patric2595]

I am a Gary Owens fan. I just love how he keeps it real and he doesn't sugar coat things as painful as they must be for him. I am sorry things aren't working out between you and your children. They don't realize how short life can be and how quickly time flees. I sometimes wish my dad would have tried to be there for me or just be a part of my life. Parents are important ..having great leadership/managers early in life is so important. It really can make a difference. I am speaking from experience.

[@crptnite]

Keeps it real...? I genuinely don't get it: never been a fan. But to each their own.

Contrary to popular belief, Eminem was not raised in a trailer park.. he lived in one for a year or so but he lived the longest at 19946 Dresden which is the house on the cover of MMLP and MMLP2
