00:00I was like, okay, the hardest part is over.
00:04The hardest part is over.
00:05Like, you've seen that physically you have some strength.
00:10You can do some things.
00:12You see where your weaknesses are.
00:13You see the things that you know.
00:15You see the things you don't know.
00:16You see the things that they're going to be popping up on you.
00:19You are mentally, you're stronger.
00:22You've already been through this thing.
00:23You talked about the bull crap.
00:25You've gotten through this.
00:26Cool.
00:27You're moving.
00:28Yeah, man.
00:28Keep on going.
00:29So I was telling myself every day, you'll quit tomorrow.
00:33And tomorrow comes, you'll quit tomorrow.
00:34Cool.
00:35But then tomorrow, you know, you'll never quit.
00:37And when I tell you, there was a slight cough that was developing.
00:44And then I went to sleep.
00:47Something came over me like I could not breathe at that last thing.
00:51But then when I wake up, I cannot control myself.
00:54And I know that there's just a matter of time.
00:56This is the only window that the doctor just so happens to be there.
00:59And it was Jesse who was like, that doesn't sound right.
01:02Like, you need to go see the doctor.
01:04And I was like, I do need to go see the doctor.
01:06I need to stop playing.
01:07Because he's probably just going to give me something.
01:09But I need something because I'm not going to be able to, like, I can't do this.
01:13And then he told me, he checked me and he was like, you have a lung infection.
01:16So he put me on steroids for five days and another pill that I don't remember the name of for, like, seven days.
01:22And I left and I went and had an amazing meal at a beautiful bed and breakfast in Marrakesh.
01:29And that is where my journey on Special Forces ends.
01:33No, I have no intention of it was a great experience.
01:38I'm not kidding.
01:39I'm not kidding.
01:40Like, look, I'm out, okay?
01:43My contract is fulfilled.
01:45So I'm not telling no false things when I say it was truly, it was a great experience.
01:51It really, really was.
01:53But I don't feel the need to ever do it again.
01:57Y'all want me to host American Idol?
02:00I'm there, okay?
02:02You want me to, you want me to, you know, maybe dress up like a prince and sing on your little mask singer show?
02:09I'm cool.
02:10But this, I'm good.
02:13I'm good.
02:14I'm good.
