interview one 2020

"i don't know man... never in my life did i see myself re-married with another child on the way at forty-five years old." looking towards his wife natalia, marshall said.

she was now six months pregnant with their third child together.

"but then again, it's like... every time i look at her... and then at them fucking kids..., i'll do it over and over again, i don't know why," he said, shaking his head looking back towards wayne.

"do it ever feel like it's too real to be true... a mistake even?" wayne- the interviewwr asked causing marshall to raised an eyebrow.

"what? my children?"

"noo! noo, no, no, no, no," the guy said quickly. "your relationship with natalia (nataliya)". he commented back.

"uhhh, no... not at all, i'm grateful to have someone in my life like her, she's a real strong woman and she doesn't get enough credit for that, i rememeber when i asked her to marry me for the third time, it took her two weeks to give me an answer." marshall recalled shaking his head.

"so you think it was the right time for you to get married?" he asked as marshall shrugged.

"i don't know..." he chuckled. "i asked her two times before that...so i really don't know what made that time so different." he said looking at the tattoo on his ring finger.

"hold up, your wife said something." the guy said, adjusting the volume on the headphones on his head. "repeat that, please."

"maybe it was the fact that he said that he would never speak to me again." natalia commented making marshall laugh.

"like i said, i asked her two times before that, and what man likes to get rejected you know?" marshall added.

"what was it that made things change?" wayne asked.

"hmm, what?" marshall said looking back at his wife. "uhh... we got married in 2007, right after my od." he said that he turned his attention back to wayne "and i told her, straight up, i told her, i love her and my kids, but something had to change and i remember telling her i couldn't go through the process alone. because at this point in our relationship. things were fucking heated. very heated". marshall described. "but nonetheless, she was there with me the whole time getting cleaned."

"what was it like when you first met? because i remember seeing on tv that everyone was talking about the kiss, eminem harassed young actress is what the head lines were." wayne said making marshall laugh.

"when we first met, it was awkward for both of us, you know. she had all her movie shit and i had my shit going on, so we couldn't really make shit go the way we wanted, but once we got together moved in together at the end of 2003, it was over," marshall said. "but for the most part, everything was in the moment."
