Charlie Murphy Gets Heartfelt on the Difficulties of Being a Single Dad

Hello freak bitches. I think it's a great idea but I think the world is being starred from a Charlie Murphy TV show. That's what I'm saying. Someone needs to follow you around. We got that and we also got the other show I'm doing. And we have to be rich falling asleep. Haha. So we have the whole digital thing we get ready to build up. You know, it is going to be a camera. The whole digital thing? Yeah, we get ready to build up. Only a man such as Charlie Murphy can get away with saying that. You know, the whole digital thing. The whole digital thing that's going on right now. Building that up. Building my whole digital department up. Why don't you start a podcast? I am. That's all in the making. This is gonna come on. Joe, Joe, that's all in the makings. But I only could do one thing at a time. What I was focusing on this year was writing that movie I just finished writing and getting ready to do the TV show. We're doing 20 episodes over the next six weeks. Wow. So, you know, I'm focusing on those two things and once that's done, boom. Then it's on to the next area. I don't sit back on my hunches at all. Definitely not. You got DVDs, books, movies, everything. Like, you go to your website. Everything but the wife, man. Yeah, exactly. I keep working hard. I'll have one eventually, you know. It's gonna be hard to marry after your wife dies. What does it feel like? It's not gonna be hard to marry. No. It's hard to be single. Right. Being single sucks, man. Doesn't? Especially if you've got kids because, like, I have to sneak to have sex, man. Come on, man. You go through that when you're in high school. But if you're a person that you're married to happens to pass away or whatever, you can't bring chicks around and bone them. Right. Kids, you can't do that, man. Especially not being loud. Are you loud? You can't sneak them up to the room or anything. Because when they come in, if you have a daughter, she's gonna go, hey, who's that? So, my daughter goes, she goes right over to the person and starts monopolizing them. Who are you? Who are you? What are you doing here? I'm gonna make sure. So, are you having a sleepover? No, she's not. So, you have to sneak. Wow. Yeah, man. Being single after you were married for years is wack. Wow. I was married for years. I want to be, you know, the lifestyle. You know, my wife is gone, but the lifestyle, yeah, I miss that, man. Definitely. Being single sucks, man. Single chicks don't cook for you. You don't want them to cook. You don't even trust them. Especially if they suggest to you, would you like some spaghetti? No, no, no, no. Are you okay? Are you okay? No. You know, you gotta be married to trust them to, you know, enjoy those things. Well, it's also gotta be hard when you're on the road. You know, you're on the road constantly. It's hard to spend time with someone to get to know them unless you take them with you. Right. And you can't take somebody with you. They can't with you. They have their own life going on. If you say, come with me, you're basically saying quit your job. And I'm not telling no one to quit their job. Yeah, quit your job and come with me? Oh, no. I'm not doing that. It's hard, especially when you barely know them, you know, because that's really what it is until you live with someone. You don't really don't know them that well. You do, but you don't. You don't. You don't see them all the day. Until you live with them, that's the key part. And that's when they get to know you. And I'm not talking about a year of living with someone. I mean, yeah, living with someone. You gotta, you gotta say at least three years because something's gonna have three years is a good time. So you want to be on the road? Real BS at some point. Right, right, right. You get to know the person. So you know, that's the paradox of my life right now. People are looking to go, everyone likes him. He's doing great in his business and his show business and blah, blah, blah. Yes, that's good, but that's not real life. That's the job. My real life is my family. My real life is when you come home at night and lights go off on stage. And that's the part where there's a big hole because my wife is gone. It's not as simple as one would think. It's harder than you would think as far as finding somebody to fill in in that area. Of course, there's plenty of people that say, oh, I would do it. I'll come and be, but it's not the person you want. You have to be very careful who you have around your children. Yeah, man. I want to slap a few of these chicks. I'll move in with you and take care of your children. You will. You? You. A horror. A horror. What are you guys with that? A horror. A horror. The woman who was at the best of her. I just got confused by the accent. I thought it was an inside joke that I was missing out. A horror. That's a tough situation for you, brother. While you're actually touring as a comedian, it's got to be really hard. Yeah, like for instance, I got my kids with me out here. They got my sons in your living room right now. Yeah, I got my kids I hear with me right now, you know schools get me start so they're gonna be to September 6 Taking them back home hanging out with him that week school starts then, you know that was back home We got a New Jersey. That's a little bit just you still live New Jersey in Pennsylvania, too But this is in Philly last weekend, man. Yeah, I live in the house of Strasburg You know what? I'm saying Once that goes back into effect. I'm still gonna be coming coming out here to work on the show I gotta go to Europe. I gotta go to Cuba said it's the job I have so I can't complain I'm glad I had the job, but that's the part of it that the fact that their mothers out here that makes it really rough Yeah, if I was leaving you with your moms, I wouldn't even Right, I'm not leaving with you with your moms. I'm leaving you with nannies, right? You know saying because my whole family lives out here on the West Coast or whatever and because I'm not the kind of person that You know leans on people like that I appreciate your help, but I'm not asking for it. And if you don't offer it, I'm not gonna complain about it I'll do it myself. Yeah, that's how I raised my kids. You know saying I I Paid my name. He's I don't ask somebody to help me out I do what I got to do with the same time. There's a feeling that goes along with that and it don't feel good You know as do you do like video conferencing with your kids? Yeah, you try to do as much as possible I got Skype and all that but that's good. You know, my kids are young man. I have a five-year-old daughter, you know Just don't want this the thing you do is to support them be the thing that that Disables them right, you know, like when they grow up with you my father was never home. He was always working and blah blah That's the reason why you know, my life went this way that's my fear, you know, right? I work with that one constantly You know, that's the the fear of every father How much time can you spend him doing what you want to do for a living? Tomorrow your kids man, because if you don't do it, he's getting moldy. Yeah, I was gonna mold whatever you teach him He's gonna learn from somewhere else. Yeah, you know and it may be you know, warp sense of Like me friends when I was growing up, you know, my dad was always at work Always so I was seeing one day a week Saturday and usually I wasn't beat to you know to be nasty But that's when you was getting your ass whipped for what you did during during the week You know I'm saying that's when you dad showed up to whip your ass on Saturday As a result when I grew up became a man we came time for me to deal with women I Learned how to deal with women by listening to guys that were in the street bums guys named T-bone slick Big Willie is whatever and because of that the first couple of relationships I had with women I was abusive dude, man I would think and think that what you talking back to me Is I'm supposed to hit you because that's what slick told me That's not what you're supposed to do if your dad is there to teach you that you know better But if you don't grow up with that around you grow up with something else because you're gonna be seeking the knowledge You go out you go out and do the wrong thing, you know So that's what I think about with my kids that I want to you want to be there to make sure you did Deliver all the lessons they need but then when you go half my team is gone Is that not to do about that? It makes it real scary Especially when you start looking at it. Well all the people who are talking about they want to be the replacement you go Must be out of your mind You think I'm gonna bring you bring you around? I mean our relationship is fine over here. You didn't bring you I Think we found the show This is the show.
