all it is seriously, is being skinny. when you are overweight, which most older people are with their dad bods, that puts a serious toll on your organs and over time you start to look older. skinnier people just look younger. You can't be that skinny and also drink alcohol or eat bad food - so Omar just lives a very healthy life and it shows.

@@ErnestoMike It's not that he looks horrible, in my opinion, but that he is sitting next to Omar who looks like he stopped aging after 2005 or so. Cedric is a 48 year old man, and I find that's what he looks like. His beard has grayed and he has some sun damage on his cheeks and around his eyes. That's it, really. Things also haven't been easy for Cedric and his family over the last 5 or so years. Stress has an immense toll on your body. If he does look horrible, which I don't think he does... it would be understandable.

“There is nothing you can say that he said. There is nothing you can say that won’t make me love him.” - that’s love.

i remember an old interview where someone (maybe even cedric) referred to omar's creativity as a leaky faucet: "the water's never gonna stop, don't worry, you should be the one worried you'll run out of buckets" ❤️

What Cedrid is explaning about Omar reaction to seeing his sons in 15:50: in portuguese we say "Quem beija meu filho, minha boca adoça" which can be translated to something poorly written like "Who my son kisses, sweetens my mouth. Cedric found the strongest of purifications. 😢

This is the single best interview I have ever seen. By a very, very long shot. All three parties were completely at the top of what it means to be present, honest, and genuine, while also being intelligent and revealing about interesting subject matter. I have never seen this interviewer before, but he blew me away. I must say it again, this is the best interview I have ever seen. I love this band and this interviewer fellow is by far the most brilliant interviewer I have ever witnessed.
