This was amazing. Lamman is incredibly intelligent and articulate. It was nice to see his perspective on marriage/relationship/love.

Loved this interview, first time seeing this podcast. I agree is you're interested call him. Met my husband one day talked for a couple of days as I was in a relationship. When that relationship was over I called him 6 months later and we've been together for 9 years now, married 5.

I always find it fascinating that women can go around touching a man's butt but if it was the other way around its crazy wrong. I'm a woman and just think that you should keep your hands to yourself.

[@octaviakf]

Let’s be 1000% clear just as it’s not acceptable for men to touch women inappropriately it’s is ALSO VERY INAPPROPRIATE for women to be sexually harassing MEN. Nothing about it is acceptable PERIOD!!

Oh my goodness. I watched this from beginning to end . I never knew Lamman was married with a child. Kelly has a beautiful spirit and the way they look at each other 🥰 I will definitely watch Egypt and Mike again as this was my first time watching. What a brilliant and fantastic platform. I hope to watch many more and should certainly have their own TV show on OWN 🙏❤️🔥🔥🔥

[@susandodson1234]

I’m glad she said it took work to get there and he had to earn the trust!!! Some men just pass it off as women are insecure. It’s about making sure she knows your integrity that nothing will happen 🙌🏽

[@deenajones2002]

Right! Female eagles test the males to ensure they can do what they’re supposed to do and it’s not questioned. So, when we make sure the man we’re dealing with has integrity and is capable, our motives should not be labeled as being insecure.

Laman & his beautiful wife, really knocked it out of the park in this episode. This kind of "fireside chat" that Egypt & Mike are doing, is therapeutic on so many levels. Positivity at its finest. Who says the strong, black family doesn't exist anymore??? SHOW EM PEOPLE!

This was the MOST Amazing and remarkable podcasts interview I have ever watched. The Energy was so peacefully and uplifting. Forget Red Table Talk this Podcast is a HIT. I have not ever watch any of Egypt and Mikes shows, this was my first time and I loved this. This the kind of show that if you have had a wacky day this would be all you need to recalibrate your mind and energy. Kelly and Lamman are Amazing, their marriage is fortified in Love , Respect, Friendship, the God in both of them shows and illuminates through each other.

[@marthemendo1643]

I concur. My first time watching this podcast and am very pleased with this content. We need this very often. Thank you guys!!!

Lamman is a very different and special type of man. Just from the way he thinks (like a woman) and how he cares to uplift his fellow brothers speaks volumes about him. All his attention seems to be on her and their family. Very very blessed woman.

[@dw1617]

Didn’t know Lamman was married. Beautiful wife! Bless their family.

[@mimiaquariusharris6244]

Denzel commented on a situation where a woman walked up to him and his wife who was with him and pregnant the woman just never even took a second look at his wife and continued talking to him. People think since you’re their favorite entertainer they can just approach you not respecting your space at all.

Me wonder he plays love scenes so well. That's who he is. He is very nurturing and discerning as a man. That is a quality you don't see in men to the level that he displayed on the show.

Loved This! I'm a first-time viewer and I'm so happy this was my first episode. Lamman's good energy always projects through the tv/movie screens. I always felt that he was a good spirited man. It's so wonderful to hear and see that there are beautiful black men who put in the work, believe in marriage, and respect and honor themselves, their spouses, and marital union, especially given he's in the entertainment field. Self-reflection is REAL!!! May God continue to bless your marriages. Thank you Egypt and Mike for this great platform.
