Karamo intervenes with Manny, a young man drinking heavily and recently hospitalized for liver and kidney-stone surgery. Manny's friend Brandy and audience members push him to open up emotionally and seek help before his health gets worse.
Let's be clear. Has Manny, your roommate, held a baseball bat to your head and threatened you?
Yes.
Yes, he has.
One time.
And how did that make you feel when that happened?
You probably would've hit her if she didn't do it.
She drank.
Shelby, do you drink with him as well?
No. They both drink with me.
Oh, they do?
I don't like what he's trying to say. They both drink with me, so I don't even know what the fuck I'm hearing.
I don't like this kid. Well, listen, this is a sticky situation where I'm trying to piece together a lot. Of what's happening here. But I wanna take this to the comments and hear what the audience has to say about this. Y'all got an opinion? Yeah, come on over. So what's your thoughts on this?
My thoughts on it is it gotta be something deeper.
Deeper how?
It's like something, you need to see somebody because basically you're angry.
I'm not angry. I have fun every day.
Yes, very.
I have my friends.
And these are some good friends because baby, you couldn't do that to me. Why not? They're real good friends. I give y'all kudos 'cause I couldn't.
Well, you see people are supporting you two. Do you think that he is angry, that there's anger issues as well that are in this?
There's something deeper than what he, there's something that he's not telling us. That's why he drinks all the time. There's something there.
Shelby, what do you think it is?
I don't know. I honestly don't. Yeah, he is.
I think I drink 'cause I think it's fun.
No, there's something off.
No, you definitely need to get emotional with your friends that care about you.
There's no normal person in this world that just sits there and drinks like this all the time.
Everybody my age.
No, they don't.
Do we have anybody in here that's this age? You're this age? Okay, you're around that age, come on.
Manny, you need to get emotional with your friends that actually care about you.
So he says that he's around your age and he says—
And I bet he'd be drinking a hen dog too.
Not at all.
Okay, what do you think about when he says everyone that's in their 20s drinks like this?
I mean, I understand trying to have fun. I'm not gonna judge you.
Yeah, I do have fun, I try to have fun.
I'm not gonna judge you for that, but you just gotta really take your time, man, because at a certain time, your body's gonna shut down.
My body's doing fine, I take my vitamins.
Vitamins is not gonna be enough for your liver. It's definitely not gonna be enough for your liver. So you really gotta slow it down.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Thank you. Manny's been in the hospital. He's been in the hospital for his liver already.
You've been in the hospital for your liver already?
He just had kidney stones and had surgery from alcohol.
Okay, and them bitches got removed.
When did you have surgery?
Couple months ago.
Okay, Brandy said something that I thought was very interesting. She said that you don't open up emotionally to your friends. Do you open up and talk to them about what you're feeling?
No.
Why?
Why would I?
Because they're your friends?
I mean, there's nothing to really talk about.
Okay.
When I'm sad or upset, I tell you and I talk to you about it.
When we hang out, we drink and talk about how we're gonna have fun and then we go have fun. Why would we drink and get sad? That's weird.
Would you be sad if you lost these friends?
Probably.
Probably, or yes or no?
I don't know.
You don't know. Why don't you know if you'd be sad?
It depends. Like right now, the way they're acting, it's—
Do you have a lot of people in your life that you think that left you because of this behavior?
Probably, but I mean.
Probably. Probably is the answer, probably. You're gonna end up dead wrong.
No, he has, some of his other friends have come to me and expressed that they're worried about him.
Okay, and that's none of your business. That's not your business. I guess if it wasn't my business, they wouldn't be coming to me.
That's not your business. I'm a little honestly concerned about what's going on here.
It's not your business, it's not your business, it's my business. I drink, I turn up, I'm having fun, and I'm done with this. You guys could talk, hit me up when you want a drink.
