00:00So Mark is Unk to me. Mark Ballas, he's like such a brotherly figure. I call him Unk. He's like
00:07family to me, but I call him Unk.
00:11So it was like a few weeks ago and he was walking up and I was like, Mark, I don't
00:15mean to be like, can I call you Unk?
00:17Like you just, you're like, give me such wholesome uncle like vibes. And he was like, yeah, you can.
00:22He's a sweetheart, honestly. Bonded with him already. What an angel. Sweet, sweetheart. Beautiful family too.
00:30Now, every time I see him, I say, what's up Unk? And then he says to me, what's up, nephew?
00:33It's like we're family.
00:35And honestly, if I had a little more tattoos and I grew my hair a little bit, we could look
00:39like we were related.
00:40Yeah, you know, I'll take that. I am a dad, so I could be an Unk, you know.
00:44He said it was a positive connotation of Unk, so he means well by it.
00:48All I do is share wisdom and help out.
