It's a blessing, though.

It was good, bro.

Celebrating that.

Just seeing 40, you know, we always talk about all the time.

A lot of people don't even see our age before.

Yeah, Facts and then two.

Just trying to, you know, be available too, you know, at the age of 40.

Because, man, it's a lot of people got issues right now going through it might be struggling, you know what I'm saying?

So I can't complain about that, though.

You're able body.

Hey, man.

Hey, I. I talk about your ugly.

Hey, man, but I'm glad you.

You able to move around and be daddy.

I'm around here, Dominique.

I'm around here.

What about you?

What going on, man?

You know, I'm gonna start it off the same way every time, bro.

I'm gonna start it off every time.

I'm just trying to get closer to God.

He's changing my life in every single way, especially with you.

You know me.

Yeah.

More than a lot of people know me.

So you know where I'm coming from and what we were doing.

Yeah.

So I gotta prai.

You know, I'm getting closer to him, but man.

Man, it's been.

It's been a.

It's been a journey for me this week.

I ain't gonna lie to you.

So my baby was gone from me this weekend.

She had a tournament in Houston we weren't able to go to.

Yeah.

And then my twins had.

They had they playoff games for basketball.

They play on the coed team together since this pretty much they last year where they gonna be able to play together.

It wasn't a good turnout.

It.

It wasn't a good outcome at all.

When I say it all, Jo.

It wasn't a good outcome at all.

We showed up and, you know, I'm supposed to be there.

The playoffs.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We lost the first game, so it really wasn't, you know, something that.

That was great on that end, but in what I'm learning in my daddy journey is everything that happens negative presents something positive.

And so it was.

It was bad.

So my son took it one way and he took it as, you know, the coaches weren't counting on me, so I could care less about the game.

Yeah.

So I gotta boost him up to, you know, not.

Not.

Not that way, but remind him of who he is.

Remind him how great he is.

But my daughter, who is the.

The competitor crying and it's the end of the world for.

And daddy kick in.

Yeah.

This is what I'm here for.

This.

This is my job right here.

It ain't.

It ain't just to pat you on the back.

It's to teach you something.

Right.

Right.

Right.

And it was good to.

To be able to let her know about, you know, you got to be able to control your emotions.

And it ain't just in basketball.

It's in life And.

And just really pour into my child, bro.

So I was happier about that than anything else.

And you know, my.

My youngest is the athlete.

Yeah.

She everything daddy wouldn't on the field, on the quarter.

Everything else.

I can't.

I'm not the fastest.

Yeah.

I'm not the quickest.

Yeah.

She.

That.

Yeah.

But.

Yeah.

Everything.

Everything Daddy had the skill because I put in work.

Hey, Mr.

Hot Dogs and Hoops, y'.

All.

But she wake up and.

And it's we.

I'm faster than you.

Yeah.

When I.

When I clear my eyes out.

Yeah.

You.

You're not faster.

You're not more athletic.

Than me.

But it's other things that you can talk to that person about.

And I remember talking to you.

It's like, bro, I don't know what to say to her because, bro, she.

She got it.

She got it.

But this weekend reminded me she human.

Yeah.

And it's always something you can get better at.

So being able to talk to and.

And express how she can become a better person and how he can become a better person was like.

Like, bro, I could care less about the loss anymore.

It was.

It gave me room to talk to my kids.

So as much as a journey this weekend has been or this week, my daddy just had surgery, man, taking care of your parent is something different.

It's totally different, bro.

Bro, I ain't the child no more.

I still take everything from his house.

I got my own food jail.

But it's something about going to your parents.

Yeah, I'm not leaving with nothing.

Yeah, I do it all the time.

But.

But.

So it's been a journey, but it's been something back reflecting on of, man, it's a lot more important things in life than what we make up in our mind, what a man is or what a man's supposed to be doing and blah, blah, blah.

But, man, this whole week has led into.

Bro, this is my first time on video with my guy.

Hey, you know what's crazy?

Because I.

This past weekend, this.

I think it was Friday, my son wanted to go to the Rick and I play with him.

We talked about this the other day.

Yeah.

And he wanted to go hoop, which is cool, because I want him to be able to hoop, you know what I'm saying, With his friends and stuff like that.

But I want to see where he's.

He's growing it, too.

And I kind of got out there with him, you know, me and, bro, I ain't gonna lie, it was rough, Dominique, especially for me.

Ain't gonna lie.

It was rough, bro.

But playing with him, just to see, you know what I'm saying, what we got to work on, you know what I'm saying?

Because he always talk about, hey, I can do this, xyz.

All right, cool.

Let me see it in the game, us playing.

But I got a chance to play with him.

But I can also coach him at the same time to get them.

Like, hey, look, next time, don't.

Don't run away.

You know what I'm saying?

Hey, cut.

You know what I'm saying?

Cut through.

You know I'm saying, post him up.

He's smarter than you.

But he showed me one thing.

He showed me he never gave up.

You know what I'm saying?

Then, too, he was always working in the game, and that made me proud, too, because he's out of shape.

But at the same time, if you were in shape, bro, you'll be a lot better then to learn how to go downhill instead of going side to side.

And so let me ask you a question.

We.

We gonna make it about daddy, but we're gonna make it really about daddy with my question.

Okay?

How did it make you feel to not be able to do what Your mind is reminding you what you could do.

What you used to do, bro.

I told you so.

Dominic, back then, we used to run up down the court, bro, not even thinking about breaks.

You know what I'm saying?

None of that water break.

What.

What.

What is that?

You know what I'm saying?

But this time, Dominique, I'm running down the court.

We play one game, and the second game, I'm ready to go again.

And as the ball check up Dominique, it's a water fountain to my left.

I glanced it.

I really looked at him like, I show.

Can use a little swig of water, bro, because I'm a little thirsty right now.

Dodie.

I'm talking about gas like a boy.

I'm talking about Dominique.

I'm gas.

But at the same time, my second win kicked in.

But.

But.

But it wasn't funny, but it was just like.

So one of the boy went up.

He kind of got knocked down.

Yeah.

As he got knocked down, you know, everybody went to go check up on him.

You know, I kind of did him like, you good.

But shoot, I'll make my way to that water fountain, bro.

No lie, no cap on the way back.

You.

You all right?

You honest?

You good?

I can't.

If I can't help myself, I can't help y'.

All.

That click for me real fast.

I remember that.

I remember that.

If I fall out, how I'm gon

like, we both down.

There's two men down.

So that was.

But that was an experience in a minute because I ain't ran up and down the court in a couple years because, you know, we in the gym, we just working out.

I ain't really putting in the cardio.

Down and back shooting jumpers, too, like, playing D. Like that stuff been gone.

And so I had to ask you because it's.

It's something that's very new to us.

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

What you said is the truth.

Like, when we was Going bruh.

Next check.

And I'm trying to win.

Yeah.

I'm trying to run everybody off the court.

So if that's five, six, seven games, we good.

Yeah, we straight.

And I ain't tired until I get home now.

For real.

And now, J.R. i had to ask you, because I remember.

So Quincy is a child that in between games, he used to do what we do.

Yeah.

You gotta go up there and warm up.

Yeah, he going out there and warm up.

Oh, I'm gonna go out there and warm up my son.

And after guarding him a couple of times, we gonna sit down with my woman.

I ain't trying to be in here no more.

For real.

No, Cap.

Because I know for me, once I got done playing, boy, you know how your body warmed up.

But once it cooled down, but my body was over here aching like a mug.

About your first time daddy experience.

The world needs to know, Junior.

I don't know how long ago it was.

I don't know the ages of your kids.

Tell me about the first time you became a daddy.

Hey.

Okay, now, so you gotta go in different segments.

So it's like you trying to feel like where I was for the emotion wise or just where I was in the stage of life.

So Dominique is the one who wrote out the topics.

Right.

And they say talk about everything.

That's what I wrote next to it so we wouldn't skip over.

So I want your first time experience with your first child, your second child, so your third child.

All right?

What was going on with the kid?

What was going on with you?

Hey.

Okay, so what was going on with me?

I ain't lie.

I was out there, you know, I was out there in the streets for real.

But when I got the car, you know, finding out I was having my first child.

By the way, she's 17.

She just turned 17 on the six.

And he fought it.

Hey, man, look, I'm aging up.

I still look good, though.

Let me see.

You know what I'm saying?

But, yeah, so, bro, you know what I was in a place of?

I want to say, not I Was in denial for a little bit, you know what I'm saying?

Because I didn't think it was, you know, you know, possible right now for me.

And it stays the life I was in.

And I was like, man, I really can't afford a kid, you know what I'm saying?

At this time and stage I was in because the.

I was into and I was doing, you know what I'm saying?

It was.

It was.

It was different.

But when she came, it was more like I had to immediately.

Matter of fact, once I got that message and found out, bro, my life just switched automatically to the point like, bro, you got to grow up.

You know what I'm saying?

You got to grow up.

You got a.

A responsibility to take care of then, too.

I didn't want to be their dad, to not take care of my kids either, you know what I'm saying?

I want to make sure my kids knew that I was there for them.

But it was rough, bro.

Like, everything from the.

The going to the doctor, sleeping, just figuring out, you know, when the next meal gonna come, like, I went through it, you know, with my first kid, because I was just trying to figure it out because there wasn't no book on it, bro.

You know what I'm saying?

Facts.

So it was just simple fact.

Like, once you get done with the doctor visit it and the baby get here, they just like, here, bye.

All right, cool.

Like, no.

No call and check up, you know what I'm saying?

But, like, I like my baby.

She was.

Support.

Was a good baby, though.

She.

She didn't cry very much, but I had a lot of support.

Dominique, like, my mom supported me a lot.

My.

My grannies, like, everybody supported me, you know, just showing me how to take care of a kid.

And I ain't gonna lie, because me and you were standing together.

At one point, I had to go back to my mom's because I had to learn how to take care of a kid, bro.

Yeah, because not about me no more.

You're right.

You know what I'm saying?

Because at that time.

Excuse me, but look.

But think about it.

So it's like, for the people that's out there, like I'm telling you, from my experience, like, bro, I. I had to move back in with my mom because why.

First of all, I didn't know what the.

I was doing, you know what I'm saying?

Changing diapers, even though they show me in the.

What you call it, but they ain't telling about diaper rash, you know what I'm Saying they ain't taking.

They didn't tell me about.

If they had diarrhea.

They didn't tell me about.

Like, it's a lot of stuff that went on.

So it's just simple fact.

I just really had to, like, own up to it and accept everything that goes on with raising the kid.

But as me isn't my mentor at the time, ain't gonna lie, bro, I was trying to take every job.

Like, I was trying to just, you know, work my ass off to the point where I know for a fact she didn't have to worry about nothing at a young age.

You know what I'm saying?

But it was.

It was a toll, bro.

Like, I found out me and you was, you know, we was kicking in and stuff like that.

We was blazing some and I got that car, bro.

Like, my heart just dropped because I knew this was over.

I had a good ass time.

It was good while it lasted, you know what I'm saying?

I had a good ass time, but now it's like every move, I make it count now, you know, it counts, so.

And we talk about it all the time on the show.

It's more like, hey, man, look, I got $10.

Shoot, she gonna need five.

She might need seven.

So.

But yeah, bro, it was.

It was a.

It was a scary stage for me because I just.

I just did not know what I was doing.

But just the support group I had even having your ass.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

But it was just some fact that I just know for a fact I could not.

Not.

Not being my kid's life.

Yeah.

Same facts.

So.

So listen, listen.

And I know you didn't ask me, but I' ma just jump in.

Yeah.

So for me, you know, I'm.

I'm one year behind.

So y' all see me reacting to his age and.

And I literally been following behind my brother my whole life.

So when he had the baby and had to move out, I didn't understand it.

And it's like, man, you doing this, you doing that, and then the next year, I'm having mine.

Yeah.

And, bro, I remember having the same thought you had of, bro, it ain't no way this is mine.

And you gonna remember this saying, bro, somebody reminded me of this.

I remember telling people, because I smoke weed.

Yeah.

And we were smoking corn.

We would.

We would.

We wouldn't cuss that.

So I remember telling people when we

rolled up, hey, that just showed your age.

Yeah.

That's what I'm Saying, I can't talk about you because I'm behind you.

But I remember telling people, like, you know, they told me, if you.

If you smoke with the seeds in

it, you can't have a baby.

You know what I'm saying?

So I really and truly believe milk busted myth was busted by me.

But I remember going through it, and because I believe that the baby wasn't mine, I reacted that way.

Yeah.

And the only reason why I showed up when I showed up is because I had a daddy behind me.

Yeah.

And he reminded me that, you don't want to miss this.

If it's not yours, you can move on with your life, but if it is yours, how do you explain to that baby you missed out on all of this.

Yeah, I wasn't here for birth.

I wasn't there when your mama needed this, that, and the other.

And me and her weren't together.

Right.

So we really had the.

The baby out of wedlock.

And I'm going through a stage where what you just said, bro, it's the absolute truth.

But I'm thinking about me.

Yeah.

Ain't no way I can have a baby.

Yeah.

I'm out here having way too much fun to be worried about a baby

having a good ass.

And.

And we having so much fun.

We're not worried about bills, Joe.

No.

We're not worried about anything productive.

We worried about the fun in life.

That's it.

And when you had that baby, all of a sudden, it's like a light bulb keycon.

Yeah.

And it's like, no, no, no, no.

Not everything that I've been running away from.

Everything that is like, I'm not telling you we weren't paying bills.

It's just.

That's not a top priority.

I'm not telling you I didn't have money in my pocket, but saving money wasn't my priority.

And now I got a baby.

So now I got to deal with diapers.

I got to deal with milk, I got to deal with baby being sick.

I got to deal with, man, they need new clothes.

I remember hearing my daddy and mama say all the time, man, you go through clothes like it's nothing, and, yeah, buy me some more.

Yeah, push to the side.

Then you become a parent, and it's, baby, you going through clothes way too fast.

Like, I told you a story before of my first time dealing with diapers, like, really dealing with them.

I changed my baby.

I ain't shying away from being daddy, but my first time actually dealing with Dealing.

Actually dealing with changing diapers My baby had a blowout.

Junior.

It was diarrhea up.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Diarrhea down.

Yeah.

And in my mind.

Yeah.

You got a diaper on.

Yeah.

So I should never worry.

No.

No.

My baby.

My baby nasty.

Junior Just net, like, to the point where I don't want to touch you.

Yeah.

How could a human being.

Yeah.

Coming out of him.

Yeah.

All I gave you was some.

Some milk.

Yeah.

I know all y' all new dads can relate to that.

Man.

Go ahead and chime in.

I'm not even.

I'll go ahead and chime in.

I'm not eating.

Tom Baptist.

Adding cereal yet.

This just milk.

Yeah.

This is the.

The water damn near.

And I told you the story, Jay.

I found out that it wouldn't need my baby fault.

When my baby cried.

Yeah.

I make a bottle.

That's it.

Because what you just said is the absolute truth.

There's no book on this.

And as a man, you.

You.

You let that pride come to the front.

Yeah.

And I don't.

I don't want to ask you questions all the time.

I want to figure it out.

And the problem with that is if you figuring out your life.

Yeah.

Good.

Yeah.

Do you.

But when you trying to figure it out and it's somebody else life, you probably messing up that baby.

And I found that one for my sister.

You know, my.

How my family talk like you retarded.

I got called retarded.

And it's shout out.

Misha.

I found out that every time your baby cried, they don't mean your baby hungry.

Yeah.

She said, did you.

Did you try picking up.

Maybe she wanted to be healed.

Maybe.

Maybe she just wanted your attention.

Or maybe there's something else going on with her.

She.

She reminded me of something that you don't know when you're a baby.

Yeah.

I had colic, and colic is when you got gas on you.

So I was a crybaby.

And if my daddy had fed me even more.

You just put more gas on your baby stom.

And since I didn't ask a question.

I'm missing my baby.

Yeah.

Messing up Junior.

And I'm lucky I didn't have the doctor visit.

I done had some doctor visits, but this one was a doctor visit.

It was a. Yeah, I'm just.

I'm just overflowing.

You point out everything I'm under.

I'm not understanding how the diarrhea went from your butt to your neck.

Yeah.

Then you remember you gave her three bottles in the last two hours over feeding.

Yeah.

That's what it is.

Yeah, you ain't the only one though.

Don't he?

Because I had the same thing, cuz the poor had to blow out.

But when she had hers and we was going through so many diapers, she developed diaper rash.

And in my mind, and this one to go back to, like that saying they say all the time it take a village to raise a kid right.

So I'm just, you know, I got my baby with me and she, me and her just riding around.

I took her to see my aunt one day and.

And my mom happened to be up there because she was getting her hair done at the beauty shop.

And I said, man, she got like a little old rash or something on her, you know, her body, whatnot.

Ain't gonna lie.

The look that I saw my mama face, Dominique, it was more like.

I know, I know this ain't.

You know what I'm saying?

It was like she wanted to be like.

And what.

What the hell is going on?

You know what I'm saying?

But she told me, like, you need to get her some.

What you call it?

And put on her butt.

You know what I'm saying?

And me, I didn't know, like I'm new.

Like I said, like I'm new to this, so.

And it made sense.

She was like, you know what?

Send her home with me.

I'm gonna keep it for the weekend and she gonna be fine by the time you pick up.

And sure enough, she was, bro, she was.

It was some fact that I didn't know that.

And she kind of put me on game to the point, like, look, you got to put this on her butt.

She get diaper rat so she won't be, you know, so vulnerable in her butt because she going to a lot.

And.

And I realized at the end of the day, she was just a greedy baby.

And.

And you know what I'm saying?

And so the funny thing about it is.

And I mean to cut you off, the funny thing about it is what we need all the dads out there to know the first time dads talk to them.

The dads that got the 30 year old, the dads that you think, you know, you have to remember that it's okay to ask for help.

You don't know everything.

You don't have to develop this Superman complex.

Like I gotta be this, that and the other.

No.

When my child asks me a question that I don't know, sometimes I gotta go look it up to get an answer.

Yeah.

So to please ask for help.

Because, bro, I got so Many stories of my first time with Casing on, my first time with the twins.

And I'm going through it because I can't pick up the phone and let Junior know I don't know what's going on.

I can't pick up the phone and tell my daddy.

He know more than me.

Yeah.

He knows something I don't know, and you forget, but he raised you.

Yeah.

So he had to go through some of the same things you went through.

So even though it's not a book on how to be a parent, it's plenty of people in your community.

Yeah.

They can help you out.

They got experience.

Yeah.

They got experience, Dominique.

Yeah.

And then, see, that's the thing.

And we.

We talk about it all the time.

Like, sometimes pride getting the way to a point for us elevated.

Right.

Especially as parents.

So I know for a fact it took a lot for me to be like, to even call my pops or call my mom on the phone, you know what I'm saying?

Because I know I had the kid.

That's my baby.

That's mine.

You know what I'm saying?

It's my responsibility.

But in my mind, I'm not knowing.

To even think about reaching out to the point where I need help, man.

I kid you not.

Hey, new fathers out there, don't be scared to reach out.

Because for me, I. I had to reach out.

I had to put my product to the side, to the point.

I know for a fact I really do need help at this moment.

I don't care if I'm asking for $10 to get formula or diapers or whatever.

You're trying to do the best to make sure your kid had everything they have, man.

Facts, so.

And shows you that your pride always comes up.

Because I had Cason three years before I had the twins.

And when I had the twins, that pride kicks back in, because can't nobody tell me how to raise twins.

Yeah.

And my brother.

My.

My brother, my.

My daddy and my sister, y' all ain't had twins, right?

Y' all had them individually.

So y' all don't know that.

That I'm doing this or I'm doing that or, like, the reason my son had the nickname Fat man is because what you just said, he's always been greedy.

Yeah.

I'm gonna eat.

If you put it in front of me.

If you put a snack over there, I'm gonna eat it.

Why?

It's.

It's food.

Yeah.

And I remember telling my daddy, like, it's a proud moment for me.

I Got this down to a science.

I'm the one that stays up night with them.

And you know when they wake up at this time and they always wake up alternate times and blah, blah, blah.

And Quincy wakes up first because, you know, that's my fat man.

He love to eat, but as soon as he getting done with his bottle, she wake up.

And now I gotta feed her.

And it's actually the opposite way around.

I'm just talking too fast, but I gotta do this.

And I got it down to a science.

And he said, do you remember that old saying?

I said, what old saying?

You got a whole lot of old saying.

He said, you always want to work smarter harder than harder.

Yeah.

You making your job harder.

I said, how am I making my job harder if they alternate?

He said, why are you waiting if you know when she's gonna wake up?

Yeah.

Why are you not having that already ready?

Yeah.

See, now you have to deal with the crying.

Now you have to deal with the, the annoyance of what you calling me for?

Because you didn't call me to brag.

That's not why you called me.

You called something else.

And it's something that you learn as a daddy.

I know my child better.

Know.

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

I know him better than you know yourself.

And he said, you didn't call me to brag, cuz you daddy of the year.

You called to ask me something.

And it humbled me right there in that moment.

It's like, yeah, how in the hell am I supposed to keep doing this every night?

I'm a night owl.

Yeah.

But I'm also a.

A early bird.

I'm not a person that sleeps a lot.

But at the same time, if I'm a night out chilling, yeah, I'm good.

Yeah, I'm straight.

If I'm a night out taking care of twins, yeah, I'm tired all of a sudden.

I'm ready to go to bed.

It's.

It's too late for us to be up.

And he's letting me know this, that and the other of how to make it easier to.

To feed them at night.

He said, he's explaining to me how to make it easier for them to go to sleep in the, the cribs.

So I was doing it in a way, Jay.

I had them in swings.

Swings.

He said, dominic, I understand the babies and sometimes they gonna sleep in the swing, but you want to sleep in the swing.

I'm grown.

He said, I ain't asked you that.

He said, do you want to sleep In a swing.

I said, nah.

So why not make it easier on yourself so your babies are actually comfortable where they're sleeping, and that's where you eventually want them sleeping every night, right?

Anyway, get used to it and done.

Don't you?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

But see, but that goes off of up having somebody experiencing your corner, you know what I'm saying?

Like, we're not saying we perfect dads out here, but it's the same.

Like, we.

We've been through the storm already, and y' all new parents that's out there, look, it get eat to me, it get easier to the point.

Because now everything's starting to click to the point where you're on a schedule or everything is starting to be the same.

Because I know for a fact, once I had my first one, my second one came, it was kind of easier.

Then as my third one came, it's like, all right, cool.

Because, like, right now, like, I don't really take my.

My kids to the doctors when they smile like that, because it's always the same to the point where I know if they have this, they have that, they gonna prescribe this then too, when they infants, they don't give them medicine.

They just send them home.

Because it's just some fact that if you're really paying attention of what's going on in your kids.

Kids life.

You see what I'm saying?

Because that saves you trips, you know what I'm saying?

Because I didn't.

I'm sure my first born, we were going to the doctor back and forth.

Then I started realizing it.

It became a pattern.

Dominique, you know what I'm saying?

To the point where it's like, why we.

Why we driving down here?

This is going to be a waste of visit.

Because he already told me, at this age, they cannot have this type of medicine.

The most they can do is just wait it out.

And.

And what you basically saying is you was paying attention.

Well, I didn't.

So you.

You giving the dads the.

The great advice.

So I'm gonna be the person to let them know and that the mistakes they made, you just make along the way.

But see, the thing is, I mean, it's two parents, you know what I'm saying?

Because that was me.

Now you got the person that actually.

That's not paying attention, right?

Yeah.

So you can actually break that part down.

But see, and.

And so I was the person that was paying attention.

And what you're saying is in a parenting role, it's okay to listen to people.

It's okay to reach out for help.

Because I remember.

And you don't heard this story before.

I remember walking in and seeing my sister give my oldest a fry for the first time.

And I remember what everybody taught me.

Junior, they can't start on solid foods until this time.

Now, my sister was for y' all that don't know me or know my

sister shout out to Misha again.

She got multiple key.

All girls, but she has multiple kids.

And so taking care of a baby is second nature to her.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

And I remember coming in junior, and she giving my baby a fry.

And I'm hot.

Oh, yeah, you pissed I'm hot.

I'm ready to fight my sister.

Like, we finna get into it because I didn't tell you that I asked you to watch my baby.

I asked you to.

To comfort my baby.

But that ain't comforting my baby.

That ain't watching my baby.

Yeah.

That's you thinking you her mama.

Yeah.

And my baby over there enjoying her fragile.

Ain't worried about nothing.

And I'm talking about if you.

If you was around caseing at the time, you know, she's a crybaby.

She cried all the time.

And she over there enjoying life.

That McDonald's fry look like the greatest McDonald's fry ever in.

Any.

Any dad out there, new dad or you've been a dad.

You know, when your baby first start eating, they not actually chewing on gumming on that mother.

They just gumming on it.

And so the fries, it slumped over and she just.

And she junior, it looked like.

It looked like to her it was

the greatest five star meal ever.

And five stars.

And I remember going back and forth with my sister and she said them words like, I've been your way.

Yeah, you ain't been mine.

We said it all the time.

Yeah.

And.

And now.

And.

And.

And really, I'm learning from these people who said it to me all the time.

And she's saying, like, not only have I been your age, but I've done this before.

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

I've been through this, this raising a child before.

And it's easy to say what we always say.

It's not a book on parenting.

It's hard to say, somebody know might know about parenting more than you.

And it's hard to come out of that Superman complex when she breaking it down and she was like, do you see how she's acting right now?

Now?

Yeah.

Do you see what's going on with your baby?

No, I don't See what's going on?

Because she ain't even eating on the fry.

She said, do you see what's going on with your baby?

Yeah.

Because you worried about this, that, and the other.

You're not paying attention to what I already know.

Yeah.

And so this, this, this podcast, what we're talking about, being a daddy is something that men have inside of them that's hard for us to.

To get away from.

It's hard to feel like a man if I always got to have my hand out asking for help.

Right.

And it's really.

That's ad.

That's an ass way backwards way of thinking.

It really is, though.

It's.

It.

It's nobody on this earth that don't need to ask for help.

There's nobody on this earth that knows everything.

Right.

What makes you a man is literally being able to swallow your pride.

Yeah.

And say, hey, J.R. yeah.

I know you had your baby first.

So your baby's on to solid foods and she out of milk.

She don't deal with bottles no more.

How you get your baby out of the milk and into the solid foods and not have to worry about the blowouts.

Oh, you still have to worry about the blowouts.

Cool.

Yeah.

Now I'm learning something, and I'm learning of how to raise my kids.

And you said something.

You said it gets easier the.

The.

With the next child.

It does.

Only if you paying attention.

Right.

Only if you're trying to learn how it is to be a daddy.

Yeah.

And I heard my daddy say it all the time.

The minute you learned how to be in your.

Your teens or the minute you learn how to BE in your 20s, it's only 30.

Yeah.

The minute you learn how to be in your 30s, it's on the 40.

And it's the same with parenting.

Like, the minute you think, oh, I got this.

Now my child talking.

I just got used to the bottle.

I got this down to a science.

Yeah.

Nah.

And that's another thing.

Now she's here to a French fries, and it's like it's constantly going full.

Yeah.

The communication part coming in now.

Now I got to talk walk.

All that.

And that goes into first time dad.

Jay.

I got so many stories.

When she first started talking, her first words was, daddy.

Okay, die.

Die.

Yeah.

Hey, that's the best, best feeling in the world.

You know, the worst feeling in the world.

The worst feeling in the world is to hear her say, dad died first, and you never hear it again.

Now it's my mind.

Hold on, hold on.

Hold on little girl.

Hold on, little girl.

So you don't love me no more?

Like time out.

But did you really say it was just your tongue touching your guns?

Because I'm really feeling, I'm really feeling hurt right now.

Hey man, over here.

Sick.

But see, that's the thing though.

So all you, you first time dads out there, as you can see and hear from us, it's like we both don't have the.

The right way of doing stuff.

It's just the simple fact as you have to, you know, go for what you know.

You know in that.

Yeah.

You know, you got to figure it out and you have to.

I gotta ask.

Yeah, but you can't be afraid to ask because now you doing your baby justice.

You know what I'm saying?

No, justice to the point where if she's in, you know, or you in a time of need and you need that advice, bro, you gotta reach out.

Because I said at the beginning, like it takes a village to raise a kid.

Which is true.

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

Because I don't know it all.

Like I don't.

Like I told you at the beginning, I had to go to my mom's and.

And kind of get under her wing and kind of like get a glimpse of.

Because my.

My mindset wasn't raising kids.

My mindset was more out here doing this.

Xyz.

Hey Dominique, where the next party?

Like, you know what I'm saying?

Like that's where my mind was.

So now I had to make a shift to the point of growing up to be a dad at this point.

Domin man, you know, you know the, the worst thing about the being a first time dad?

You know the, the comment that I haven't heard since you became a daddy or is that literally haven't heard it.

But every dude says it and now women have picked up on it.

They even said where the hoes at?

Right.

I never heard it again.

I.

You've never heard.

You've never said those words to me any anymore.

And it was.

Hold on.

Yeah.

Cause that was, that was I saying, did it.

Did I lose my brother?

Look where my brother goes.

We used to call on the phone, hey, what a hoes it.

Yeah.

That was the next thing.

And now I'm calling you on the phone and I'm laid up with my baby.

Yeah.

Or it's like, hey, the kids got a game or hey, we about to go to damn their main event.

Like we doing daddy for real.

And.

And so.

But the what you realize as Being a daddy, you think you missing out on life, and you realize you really not.

No, you're not.

You got more of a life now.

So now my weekends are filled up with games.

All right, so Kason was in Houston, but usually she's in town.

So I got to go to a volleyball tournament, and then I got to go to a basketball game, and then I got to go to a soccer game, and I got a.

My whole day is filled up with that.

So at night, when it's time to go home, it's.

Man, it's time to go big.

Yeah.

But time out.

Dominique, before you go, before.

I think y' all missed that, what he just said.

Dominique, you said you went to a volleyball game and you left and went to a basketball game.

That just showing you the commitment of a daddy right there.

I gotta give Ms.

Kudos because is.

There's no excuse.

I didn't hear no excuse out of what he just said onto the point of going to make sure his baby know his presence was there, man.

And.

And you know, and you know, the biggest thing about a parent, I realized this later on because as a kid, you complain about it, but as a dad.

Yeah.

Being a parent is a thankless job.

Right.

And it's not until your kids get older that you're able to look back and pay attention what your parents did.

And you're thinking that my life is over or I gotta stop doing this to do this or my life has to change.

And now my whole schedule is.

Is.

Is based around my kids after I get off of work.

What time is it, my child?

Yeah.

And you realize something, you actually growing up and experiencing even more with that child.

Yeah, of course.

And so now I appreciate the pat on the back, but, bruh, I need more than the pat on the back.

I need.

I need like, what Aladdin got that magic carpet.

I need that magic.

Yeah, I need the magic carpet to get around for traffic, but I need that genie.

Like, I need three wishes, and I need you to hear me out.

The first.

First wish is teach me how to be a daddy.

Because my.

My oldest is 15 going on 16, and my twins are 12 going on 13.

And I got.

I got a good woman in my life, and she may want some more.

Yeah.

And.

And it's like, it's a never ending cycle of what they want.

Yeah.

But, yeah, I sent my baby some money.

You know her response?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Hey, look, mine do the same.

My.

Look, mine try to prep me up.

They try to water, like, give you a little Prep talk before they ask like that.

How is your day?

Blase blah.

My question, what you want baby?

Because I know it's coming.

Because you, you learn your babies and.

Yeah, and.

And the reason why I don't fully understand fathers or deadbeats is because you've never experienced that you chose yourself over your child.

And as bad as it is, like I really understand ftk.

I understand it fully that FTK statements that parents that are involved saying the reason you're saying it is because you don't understand that I've put my life to the side.

Yeah.

All the way to make it all about you.

Yeah.

But at the same time, I started a new saying, FTP.

Because what?

Yeah.

I could care less.

I care less about it.

I didn't ask to be here.

And I go to my daddy now.

Junior, I'm talking about right now.

You 40, I'm turning 39.

I go, I go to my daddy right now.

Like, I didn't ask to be here.

You want to pay my bills?

Oh, yeah.

I didn't ask to be here.

I need some food.

Like, I didn't.

I didn't come to you in 1987 and say hey or 1986 cuz it take nine months.

I didn't come to you and say hey.

You need to lay down, mama.

Make sure you lay it down right.

And leave it in.

Leave it in.

I didn't ask for that.

So as soon as you.

You ready to complain about your kids, you got to remember they didn't ask to be here.

So everything I'm asking for is really your fault.

Yeah.

Hold on.

You can't.

He was a fast woman.

That's why he got there.

Hey, the fastest one.

Me too.

You know, I say this to my kids all the time.

They come around.

Look at all my fast swimmers.

We all winning.

Hey, hey.

And.

And there's certain things that daddies get to say where you get it off your cheeks.

You get off your cheeks.

Do you feel away about your kids hearing you have sex?

Or how do you feel about affection with your children or what's?

One thing you refuse to do like your parents or.

You go ahead, you pick.

No, I picked the first one.

Man, you read the first.

You ain't picked the first.

That was the first time.

Okay, so.

So we.

I really want to do the sixth one last.

So let's do.

Do something that might be quick for us.

Let's go.

What's one thing you refuse to do like your parents

did?

I try to numb down his cousin.

I tried to cuss.

I ain't gonna lie.

My pops, he cussed.

Like I say that.

Yeah, ho.

All this, all it, like, no filter.

Like, when you wake up in the morning, straight nigga, what the is going on type.

So that.

That even though I do it still a little bit just in my verbiage, but I try not to cuss at them because I know how harsh that is.

I was, of course, a.

A son, a kid.

So that's one thing I try not to do, is really cuss at my children.

But I ain't gonna lie.

I do say cuss words, not saying it's right.

You know what I'm saying?

But I'm just saying that's one thing I try not to do.

But I do try to remove words and replace words.

They have a little bit more emphasis on what I'm trying to get across because they couldn't, I guess, grasp what I was trying to get them to do.

But that's one of the things that I try not to.

Is that the question, right?

Refuse to do.

Yeah.

Try not to do is basically just try to like cussing my kids and just make it comfortable for them to come talk to me.

So.

So for me, whoo.

That was burp.

For me, I refuse to do.

Do it.

But I understand it now as I'm grown, I refuse to embarrass my kids.

So that's a good one.

As I told you, that is good.

I was called.

Let me hit that.

Blooded or dumb.

No, ain't no ass.

But I refuse to.

To put my kids out there.

And I. I literally just got through talking to this.

I understand it now.

And when you come with a quote, unquote, dumb question.

I'm not calling you dumb.

I'm pushing you towards thinking for yourself.

Right?

But it made me feel away.

So I can't embarrass my kids and my dad.

You've been around them, he always.

I ain't got no filter.

Like, if I gotta say it, I' ma say it.

I don't care if.

If nobody around, I don't care if everybody's around, I'mma call you out there.

And I'm remember.

Remember something that hurt my heart, Jay.

It was me.

You.

And you probably don't remember because you don't heard it so much, but you didn't know.

And I'm not gonna let you know about my feelings, but it's me, you, probably Jeremy and a couple others, we just talking and we talking about pimping.

Like that's who I am.

And I got these females and blase blah and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And he walked by hearing him, you know you ain't a pimp, right?

Yeah, you, you, you know you ain't like that, right?

Yeah.

You know that ain't in you.

You know you're a very loving dude.

Dude, hold on, time out.

Yeah.

You see me with my guys?

Do you see my guys around me?

I don't need them to know the true me because I'm trying to portray something else.

But I never put my kids out there.

I'm always, I'm the dad now where it don't matter what's going on.

I'm gonna pull you to the side.

Now that doesn't mean if you show out in public, I'm not going to.

To show out with you.

But I'm also, if you did something, as long as it's not right then and there out in public, I'm gonna pull you to the side and let's have a conversation and I'm gonna have a one on one with you.

And I refuse to be the person that calls you out there.

Then the, the.

I can't talk down on him because I'm not saying he's wrong in the way he did it.

Yeah.

At all.

How he chose to be a parent is how he chose to be a parent.

Right.

But because of the, the trauma that I've built up in my head behind it, I'm not gonna do it that way.

Yeah.

And so my kids now, because of that, my kids now have a certain confidence about themselves around me that I didn't have.

Right?

Yeah, I didn't have this certain confidence.

But I feel like it was more because I was scared of my daddy.

Yeah.

I don't want my kids scared.

But then we, we talked about that on one of the previous shows.

Like they raised their kids out of fear.

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

We don't.

We, for us, it's like we're trying to reverse that, you know, that, that cycle of, you know, fear.

But see, listen though.

But listen.

And I Understand what I'm doing.

Yeah.

I'm not arguing with you.

Right.

Okay.

Because I'm doing it.

Yeah.

But I. I see now why my dad didn't deal with what I got to deal with.

Okay.

So my.

My kids have the confidence.

Like, I walked into the kitchen this last night.

I had my twins, and I'm walking to the kitchen, and my baby girl is.

Is making something to eat.

Yeah.

And when I walk out, I ain't said nothing.

I just looked at her.

She's like, what?

Hold on.

What?

Yeah.

Hold on.

Yeah.

You questioning me?

Like, you the parent.

Yeah.

And I know that.

I wish you kind of went up here with it.

I wish I would have that thought process to talk to my daddy like that.

Yeah.

Like, I would have got punched in the chest.

Yeah.

And it wasn't abuse.

No.

It's letting you know who I am.

Yeah.

But it's nothing in me that can act like him.

So now it's a discussion at that time instead of him and her ass up.

Yeah.

Like, what came to my mind at first, and it's.

As much as I refuse to be exactly like my daddy was, I'm understanding why.

Yeah.

My daddy was like that.

And he said something to me.

He said, you know, every time you talk to somebody that brings up they whoopings and beatings, they always tell you how bad the beating was.

Yeah.

And.

And Junior got beat.

So I can.

I can tell you some things that my daddy did to me.

And we shout out to coach, I hope y' all subscribe.

So we got two, 300 more shows that y' all learned about all these beatings, but I got some beatings.

And I'm gonna tell you because I'm bragging about what I endured in my.

My childhood.

And he said, you never hear, why did I beat you?

Yeah.

He net.

You never hear somebody tell you, hey, my parents told me something three, four, five, six times, and now, yeah, I got the whooping.

Yeah.

They've never explained that part.

And then when you become a parent, me and you talk about it.

You just said something about cussing.

Jerry.

I don't cuss at my kids.

I cuss in my.

Was it vernacular, because I talked that way.

You heard that word vocabulary getting up there.

Hey, what they say on First Prince?

I feel like you disrespectful because you use the SAT word.

But.

But I. I don't cuss at my kids, so I.

Matter of fact, I only cuss in a conversation with them to get my point across.

Exactly.

And it.

It Came from.

From you not listening to me.

Talking soft to you.

Yeah.

When I say, hey, pick that up.

Yeah.

Hey, make up your bed.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, I told you, stay out the kitchen at night, snacking all night.

When I asked you if you was hungry, you told me no.

But when I wake up in the morning, all my snacks are gone.

See, I didn't.

I asked you nicely.

I asked you nicely.

You didn't listen.

So when I say, put that goddamn snack down.

Yeah.

Oh, damn.

Yeah, he mad.

I'm mad now.

He big mad.

And.

And it.

It.

I.

My dad never got to.

So when I say, when I tell you, my dad didn't cuss at me.

He couldn't get to that point.

Because after he asked me, I knew after that, look.

Yeah.

He gonna whoop.

Yeah.

Get on that ass.

And.

And I wasn't afraid of my mama.

Whoopings.

Yeah.

At all.

Yeah.

My mama whipped me.

Okay.

Yeah.

But when he came in.

Yeah.

She knew that.

So she threatened me with that.

With everything.

Clean that up.

I'm gonna tell your daddy.

Yep.

Quick.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's gonna happen if you don't get your grades up.

I'm gonna tell you, Daddy.

Yeah.

I mean,

locked in.

I remember.

I remember my daddy came to.

Came to my.

To my.

I went to a different school in kindergarten.

I went at Duncanville, and I'm class clown.

But what they.

What the teacher didn't know or maybe my dad explained and she just didn't.

She played that role.

My daddy used to work with me at home.

Right.

So my math is up here.

Yeah.

Are you up there?

I'm up here with the math.

You hear my.

I'm quick with it.

Yeah, but that's because I was doing multiple.

I was doing multiplications.

Oh, that's alcohol.

I can't even say multiplications.

Yeah.

I was doing that in kindergarten.

Junior.

Yeah.

So while y' all just learning about one plus one, my daddy already got me one through ten on multiplication, bruh.

Okay.

Pick that up at your local stove.

Pick it up.

Hey.

Pick that up.

So when we get in class and we doing basic math.

Yeah.

I'm done.

Yeah.

So I'm now.

Now the goofy guy.

I'm the class clown.

Yeah.

I got all the jokes.

Yeah.

I make everybody laugh.

She put me out.

Put me on that bench outside the.

The high in the hallway.

If we in class.

Yeah.

Give a damn.

Put me out there for your 15, 20 minutes.

Yeah.

I'm gonna come back in.

My work done.

I got mojo.

And it's mad.

So it's right.

What I didn't know is I had to involve Daddy.

See, I never had a father in my life.

I wish at this point I had the deadbeat, because I would have been home free.

But I had a dad.

Daddy.

Yeah.

And Daddy showed up and he asked me, why you out here?

Nah, for real.

N. For real, though.

And after that third, I ain't ask you nothing else.

I'mma go tell the teacher.

And I'm not asking you, because that I'mma take as you lying to me.

And.

And I realized something.

Even when he said, you never tell what you did.

You only tell about the beating.

Like, right now, I cannot be my dad with the embarrassing my child, and I cannot be my dad with beating my kids.

But I understand with the man I am now exactly why he did it.

Exactly why he did it.

Because did nobody tell.

Did nobody take you home to learn all this, man?

Yeah.

For you to go in class ass and acting ass.

Yeah.

I need you to understand something real quick.

And when you get home and you get that beating, your daddy's the meanest person ever.

But when you go to class that next day, it ain't, your daddy's the meanest person ever.

I ain't trying to get beat no more.

And me and my dad had this talk, you know, I never got two beatings in two weeks.

It's like the beating wore off after the two weeks, but for the two weeks, that motherfucker hurt J.R. i'm in class.

I don't know how to talk unless the teacher asked me a question.

And it's.

It's like, I. I love this question.

Because as much as I want to go in about being the opposite of what my dad is, I'm realizing exactly what my dad is, you know?

You know what's funny?

Because I had.

I had the same situation with.

And, like, my dad, bro.

My dad, he's more.

He's the type of person, like, just, like, pop up just to see what's going on, right?

Don't be daddy, man.

Nah.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, just chill out, Dominique.

No lie, bro.

Like, I'm sliding, bro.

Like, my.

My.

I never forget.

Like, it was yesterday.

Like, my 10th grade year, bro.

I'm a Desoto.

And we in Spanish class, okay?

So.

And.

And that's the only grade, like, I'm, like, feeling okay, so I'm in Spanish class, all my other grades.

Cool.

Whatever.

And, you know, back then, you know, when you get that pass, that how pass or go to the council, you know?

You can walk the hallways, you know what I'm saying?

Because nobody never called my name.

So I get the pass.

I'm like, hey, yeah, I got that pad.

You know what I'm saying?

I got that pad.

Hey, I said, hi, I'm gone.

And I kid you not, bro, I walk into the counselor's office, bro.

My dad is sitting right there, bro.

I'm talking about.

As soon as I seen his face, bro.

I'm talking about just all type of like five year old, six year old, like, attitude came up like.

Like, bro, like, what the hell, bro?

So.

And the kid, the crazy thing was.

And back then, you know, I was driving, and so I'm.

I'm driving.

Whatever.

I got my.

You know, something.

Whatever.

He was the first of us to have a car.

Hey, look, we're getting there.

So.

And he in there, what's called.

And he looking at my grades, and he see that Spanish class.

The class.

I mean, he see.

He's like, hey, man, what's this?

Dominique, I'm passing everything.

Passing everything.

What's this?

I'm like, hey, dad.

And I'm trying to figure out a way to get out of it.

I'm like.

And the first thing, as I think about it, bro, this is the dumbest answer that I ever came up with.

He said, what's going on?

Why you feel?

I said, like, dad ain't got no Spanish dictionary.

English don't leave.

I had to think on the fly.

Look, I had to think on the fly.

Wd, I ain't had no English or Spanish dictionary, bro.

Like, what?

Like that's all you come up with?

So.

So I.

So he was like, okay.

And the first thing he said, giving them keys.

I gave him the key.

And he's like, and you riding the bus home.

And the first thing he said, and you better beat me home.

And Dominique, like my daddy, it don't have like a.

Like a consent time that he actually at home every day.

Like, he don't.

So I'm in the front row of the bus, Dominique, and all my partners in the back.

Hey, Johnny, what's up?

Hey, look, man, I ain't got time for that right now, man.

I need this bus to take off when we get into the house, because I don't know when he gonna be there.

I need to make sure I beat him home.

Dominique, I'm talking about the fear of.

Of just not just knowing what's gonna happen, right?

Just the fear of knowing, Dominique, what's about to go down, bro.

I'm talking about Shook me straight.

And as soon as I got to the house, he wasn't there.

I'm like, cool.

He caught me on the phone.

Cause I knew what he was doing, but I didn't think he was gonna actually be at home.

I'm like.

He was like, hey, man, take that TV downstairs.

Take that PlayStation.

He used to call it a play game.

Take that play game, like, downstairs.

Because, you know, I had all the games.

And so he's like, take that play game.

All it downstairs.

Don't need my big.

My little.

Taking that big TV downstairs.

Nobody, bro.

I ain't trying to have no problem with this, man.

Listen, listen.

When I say we was raised on fear.

And the funny thing is, I say I don't want to be like my daddy.

But the funny thing is, you know, you got a good daddy when your daddy tells you to do something different.

Different.

Yeah.

And so my.

I remember my.

The words he told me when Cason was born.

Hey, you need to talk more.

Yeah.

Be less.

Yeah.

And as a daddy, it's my job to make you understand something.

It ain't my job to explain everything to you.

Right.

Some things.

Is that old saying that we grew up on.

What don't make sense today, makes sense tomorrow, make perfect sense tomorrow.

And so he raised me on fear.

Jay.

I remember.

Remember when I first got my first C?

So we was raised in a household where we make A's and B's, right?

Yeah.

And we was raised in the households because my sister was making straight A's.

Yeah.

And she made straight A's.

Without trying, she just show up.

That sound like my sister, too.

That.

That's.

That's my girls.

Yeah.

Without trying, they make straight A. Casey, you ain't got no homework?

No.

No.

You gotta have homework.

Then you get that report card.

You ain't got homework.

Yeah, that's my girls, too.

That's crazy.

I wasn't that child, J.

Me either.

So.

So I got my first seat.

J.R. and I remember begging and pleading to my mama, I bring home the report card.

I know what's going down.

And it wasn't a low seat.

It wasn't even a low seat.

It was a high seat.

It was a high seat.

It's 7879.

Yeah, you right there.

I'm right there.

But what I didn't know is because you right there, that made it even worse.

Junior.

I can't win for losing.

Can't win for lose, bro.

I'm.

I'm scared, Jay.

I bring it home, and at this time, at this time, the only thing I know I can forge and get away with is the progress report.

Yeah.

Report cards.

Yeah, totally.

You can't.

So I'm all the way scared.

I gotta take this home.

Can't forge no seats.

Hold on, Dominique.

So back then we had to take our pull cards home.

Yeah.

Now it's online.

See, now it's online.

They can't get away with.

Can't get away with it now.

So back then you can take your poor car home.

So I'm taking your poor car home.

And remember we had.

It was that long.

Yeah.

I bring it home and.

And y' all don't know.

But my mama.

My mama had disease so she had to be home.

So I couldn't even get if even if I wanted to forge it.

My mama right here.

Yeah, soon you walk in the door soon.

Bro.

Bro, I'm talking about every day I walk in the door.

Hey, Dee.

Yeah, she on you.

Right there.

Right there.

Can't hide.

So I give her the report card and waterwork start.

Bro.

You.

You'd have thought I didn't say watching Will Smith.

Greatest act in the world.

Mom.

I don't know what happened.

The teachers be picking on me.

She didn't even let me make up my work.

Blah blah, blah blah blah.

Gave my mama the sob story.

And she bought it and called my daddy.

Called my dad.

And I'm thinking I'm got out of it because she said.

You okay?

Yeah, I forgot.

Feel good.

My mama.

My mama is a woman.

Yeah.

She's supposed to take up for her child.

But my daddy now being daddy, understand.

Is a man.

I can listen to my woman.

Yeah.

And be okay with me and her.

Yeah.

I heard what you said.

That ain't got nothing to do with my baby.

Nothing new with that one, Junior.

My daddy used to work crazy hours.

So he's always been a man.

Where if I have to make it, I get two, three, four jobs.

Yeah.

So he didn't get home to after 2:00am yeah.

J.R. you're in bed, don't it.

So I'm in junior high.

I don't know what it is to just stay up at 3 o' clock in the morning.

Because back then.

Yeah.

Parents was hell bent on on bedtime.

Yeah, it was Jay, I'm good and sleep.

If he get off at 2, he worked down and I remember everything.

He worked downtown.

So if he get off at 2,

that's not a little drive.

And I'm in Duncanville.

Yeah.

That's not a little drive.

So you.

It take you 20, 30 minutes.

Yeah.

No track.

Yeah.

No.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

I don't know what he do because I'm asleep, but I don't know if.

I don't know if you ever got a whooping while you asleep.

The first three or four is a part of your dream.

Yeah.

And you've seen my father.

Yeah.

Just like I seen your daddy.

We.

We ain't got no daddies that's this big.

Don't look like they work out.

Hey, Kobe.

Like, back then.

Look, Kobe.

Kobe.

When I say he.

And he come from the shoulders, he ain't giving you one of them.

Hey.

He coming from bro.

And it really felt like he was

jumping down with it.

But hit them first three or fours in my dream, like, bro, dream hurt.

Hurt.

Like,

wake up.

And he beat me.

And at that time, after that time, right.

It.

It.

It's.

It's messing with my mental.

Like, how could you do me this way?

Yeah.

You just told my mama we was good.

Yeah.

Then I had kids.

Yeah.

Then I heard you talking to me, and I'm realizing I cannot beat my kids.

I'm not.

It's not in me.

Do they deserve a whooping?

Yes.

Some things.

Some things you have to give them a whooping, and there's no way out of it, but you're not going to get it beat as many times as I did.

But I can't talk down on him being a daddy, just like I can't talk down on anybody out there being daddy.

Because you only do what you know.

Yeah, that's true.

And when I'm looking at myself as a grown up, the reason why I can talk to you right now, like, I got a little bit of sense.

The reason why we can have this podcast and act like we got a little bit of sense is because my daddy, in my mind, was crazy.

He was crazy.

Yeah.

And throw it off, bruh.

Mine was.

I know, mine.

That's what I thought, bruh.

He come out the woodwork.

I'm.

I'm.

And I'm talking about Craig.

You don't play with me like you play with my mama.

Yeah, No, I seen you playing with Junior.

Yeah.

You was the funnest daddy ever.

Yeah.

Jay.

I don't know.

I'm scared of this, man.

Hey, Vice versa.

Can I go home with you?

Yeah.

Like, vice versa.

Because if I say the wrong thing here.

Yeah.

It's out of there.

Jay.

He gonna.

What's that old saying?

Knock your head through the goddamn washer dryer.

Look, you hear that?

You already know for a fact it's a rap.

See, Watch it drop.

Well, you out of there, though.

My daddy didn't do no talking until it starts swinging.

So he wasn't that person that.

That I. Yeah.

And you know how we used to talk about fights?

The person that talk a lot can't fight.

Yeah.

Well, that's my daddy with whooping.

My mama talked a whole lot and then want to pull out the building.

Yeah, my dad lay across the bed.

See, mine was the opposite, Dominique.

See, mine's more verbal.

See, my daddy talked.

And so for him, if he came down to him, like, getting on my ass and whooping me, I crossed the line big time.

Like, they cross the line.

But my dad, he verbally.

And for.

For me, like, my dad talked to me like anybody else on the street.

So it don't matter what it is he gonna let you know straight up, like, I don't give a damn about none of that over there.

I told you to do this, xyz.

And it better be done, too.

Around this cl.

This time.

And this is the crazy thing, so.

And, like, what you said, like, I'm thinking mama on my side the whole time.

I'm not.

And I'm not even putting two and two together at all.

You know what I'm saying?

So in my mind, so y' all together, right?

So exactly like.

So y' all just go.

It's so it's me versus y'.

All.

You know what I'm saying?

So I'm not realizing that's my daddy, woman.

So I'm not.

I mean, I'm not putting it in.

In context whatsoever.

So whatever I tell her, I'm thinking it's between me and her.

I'm not knowing that she relaying the message to this guy.

And.

And when he talking to me, I'm like, how you know?

Because in my mind, I only told one person.

And.

And I go back.

I go back to my mind.

Yeah, I didn't told you that, like, ah, man, I'm out now.

Look, look, it's.

It's a rap now.

And you told this dude, like, I thought I was.

I thought I was skate free.

And I told you my mama was the one that be on your side when you talk to her.

And then when she talked to him, she hyping up, getting that whooping.

Yeah.

And as soon as.

Bro, I'm talking about the first heat.

As soon as that first hit go down.

Yeah.

Don't hurt my baby.

It's too late now.

It's too late.

Now, when I thought it was between me and you, you, that's where it should have stayed.

And you wouldn't have to worry about that.

Look, look, Dov, I ain't gonna lie.

Now I'm on the other side of it.

So now I'm the daddy.

And look, they'll tell my.

My lady everything.

And she tell me.

And the first thing I tell my kid, I said, look, you know who told me, right?

I'm just letting you know on game.

You know who telling me, right?

So you can know.

Me and her right here and y', all, it's me.

But it's us versus y'.

All.

And it's that old saying what don't make sense today.

Yeah.

It make perfect sense tomorrow.

Why?

Because at the end of the day, it literally is me and her against the world.

Yeah.

I'm raising you to go over there.

Yeah.

Do I want you to leave?

No, I want you right now, right here.

Next.

But I know you got to grow up like I grew up.

Yeah.

And I don't.

I don't want to be at my daddy house no more.

Right.

And so if he didn't beat me, guess where I be.

Yeah.

Daddy will be eating tonight.

Bro, you 38, figure it out.

Yeah, you better go on.

Why you here?

Yeah.

And bro, it's like.

It's like the understanding of the reason why I wanted this question to be the next one we asked is because as hard as I can go at my daddy right now, like, I can really go in about things I didn't agree with and things he did wrong, vice versa, and things that it literally is.

I can't do.

Like my daddy, bro, I'm realizing, like, no, because my kids are going to turn up or grow up and say.

Say it's things I don't want to do.

Like my dad.

You're right.

But are you blaming me for something or are you just trying to learn a different way?

Right.

And right now, I'm just trying to learn a different way.

And the funny thing is, my dad is the one who told me to think a different way.

Hey, beat list.

Yeah.

Talk more.

Right.

But he didn't explain to me if I talk more, I gotta deal with stuff.

You ain't dealing.

Yeah, I gotta deal with them talking more.

Yeah.

I gotta deal with them not being afraid to go try this and try that.

And it's like, but, daddy.

Oh, I understand why you want to talk more.

Because it's an open door policy.

Yeah.

I didn't have a six talk with my daddy.

I didn't.

I didn't have a drug talk with my dad.

Didn't either.

I ain't had it.

He told me, stay out.

Drugs, don't have sex.

Yeah.

That's the only thing with mine.

So I'm gonna go try drugs.

Yeah.

And have sex.

See, mine found out afterwards.

Are you doing it?

Okay.

And for me, I've always had the mindset as a kid of, if daddy don't know, I don't get a whooping.

Yeah.

And now as a grown up, it's like, I want to know.

I definitely want to know.

And you're still not gonna get a whooping.

Yeah.

We're talking.

You can learn more.

Yeah.

And since I didn't have that.

That sex talk, bro, I fell in love with sex.

Oh, yeah.

I'm going through this, that, and the other.

Well, this woman gonna take my mind off of it.

Yeah.

Okay.

This woman ain't coming around.

Well, these drugs gonna take my mind off of it.

Yeah.

And on both situations, I didn't feel safe enough or comfortable enough to go in a room and talk to my daddy about it.

Yeah.

Because I'm scared of it, man.

That's that fear right there, man.

My daddy and my daddy went and listen, let me explain something about my daddy.

You.

You, you.

You may not know.

You may know.

My daddy went to the Western store because the Western store had the best built.

He beat my butt in a way where those little bills y' all get from Walmart gonna break.

The Western store got them nice thick built.

They never break.

Yeah.

So I can keep swinging.

So I'm overly scared of my daddy because of the bills you choose to use on me.

But what he.

What he was teaching me when I was getting ready to have mine is if you're not afraid of that belt, I can come tell you I'm ready to have sex.

Yeah.

I can come tell you, hey, my homeboy rolled up something.

I tried it out, or I'm thinking about trying it out.

I'm thinking about this or I'm thinking about that.

I feel more comfortable with you because I don't feel like you abusing me or hurting me or this, that, and the other.

So, like, I love this question.

And we're gonna move on to the next segment.

Take this shot.

But it's like, I understand as a daddy.

Yeah.

You just have to go through the process.

But then what's.

What's that saying?

We always say biblical, spoil the Ross ball.

The chat.

Yes.

Spread the ride.

Spread the child.

Yeah.

Because it's True dominion.

Yeah, it's true.

Because if you don't have that, you know, that line to the point.

Well, what we always say, it's more like a.

A reboot system.

That's what I call it.

Yeah.

You know, it's more like you rebooting the system to the point.

Like, don't forget what I told you yesterday and the day before.

Because I'm not whooping you just because

I wants to whoop you, man.

You know what I'm saying?

I'm just trying to let you know for a fact.

Look, you, you, you playing with five right now, man.

You know what I'm saying?

So it, it, it just make a difference.

Like we're not saying that, you know, you know, beat your kids.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, we all go through it.

It's just simple fact that it's a time in line of finding a place to where, you know, we have to draw the line as parents and dads and let everybody let.

Let our kids know.

Like, look, it's only so far you can go.

We can't move this needle yet.

We right here.

But as you get older, we can move it.

You know what I'm saying?

Because, because now we can.

We can develop a conversation of understanding to the point where we know.

All right.

This where you at.

All right.

Cool Daddy been there.

Hey, you know what I'm saying?

But look, we got to get this together before we go here.

No, no, no.

You move a little bit too fast

and, and, and you're able to.

To in.

In.

In embark.

Not.

The wisdom that I have.

Yeah.

Because it goes into the old saying, it's really a, a better way of breaking down.

I've been your age.

Yeah, you ain't been mine.

And I remember looking at my daddy like he telling me something, bro, you ain't did nothing I did.

Yeah, bro, you ain't live life like I live.

You don't do the things I do.

Yeah.

And then you forget.

I mean, you remember as a grown up, you know, your daddy was your age before you.

Yeah.

So he was out there at 20

years old too, doing his thing.

You hear me?

Yeah.

And you remember.

And, and that's what you really in instilling in your kids is I'm really raising you to be able to live life without me.

So if I have to be the mean guy, I got to be the mean guy.

If I got to be the angry guy, I'll be the angry guy.

If I have to be the knowledgeable guy, I'll Be the.

I got to be everything for you.

Because the minute you step out my door.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm not there no more.

Right?

And you making these decisions, man.

Look, look, look.
