Ep. 19 | Navigating Freedom: Life After Military Service

Freedom hits different when it comes unexpectedly. After 10 years of military service, Fat Daddy found himself with just two hours to pack up his life and leave base housing – a jarring transition that cost him thousands in belongings but offered an unexpected fresh start. Now recording from Delaware, Fat Daddy and Sweets reunite for their first-ever video podcast, bringing viewers into their world with the same raw authenticity listeners have come to expect.

The road to this reunion wasn't simple – literally. The hosts share highlights from their epic 36-hour cross-country road trip from Idaho to Delaware, complete with colorful observations about small-town America and why everyone should experience at least one major road trip in their lifetime. Between laughing about stopping in towns "where they might call you boy" and the universal experience of passengers falling asleep, their journey serves as a perfect metaphor for life's unpredictable paths.

This episode arrives in the wake of Father's Day, prompting a heartfelt exploration of fatherhood's transformative power. "They make you a man. Either you're going to be a man or you're going to be a deadbeat. There's no in between," Fat Daddy reflects, celebrating the fathers who show up consistently while acknowledging the challenges. The conversation evolves into a powerful discussion about family reconciliation, with Fat Daddy sharing how smoking with his father helped heal their relationship – proving it's never too late to mend broken bonds when someone has the courage to initiate honest conversation.

Whether discussing Sweet's theory that numbers have genders (the number 5 is apparently "the gay bottom"), celebrating the simple joy of eating deviled eggs at a family gathering, or revealing plans for Fat Daddy's new civilian career in screenplay writing, this episode bridges significant life transitions with the humor and vulnerability that defines their friendship.

Join Fat Daddy and Sweets as they navigate new beginnings, celebrate family connections, and invite you to see the faces behind the voices you've grown to love. Subscribe now and become part of a community that finds strength in authenticity and laughter amid life's chaos.

Speaker 2 0:50

Who said you weren't? It's just.

Speaker 1 0:51

This isn't my norm, but it's okay, and and neither is is mine, bro. I've had this hoodie on for like two days, bro. That's like od. Hopefully y'all can hear us all right? Yeah, we are currently in Delaware. I'm just going to put it out there now.

Speaker 2 1:06

In the 302. The 302Z.

Speaker 1 1:10

Yeah.

Speaker 2 1:12

I'm in Delaware. My niggas is everywhere. I'm in Delaware.

Speaker 1 1:16

My niggas is. At first I was pissed. I will say I was pissed about coming back here because I wanted to leave here for a long time. But there's something that just brings you back to a place that is somewhat familiar, but this time around you're looking at it differently, so it doesn't suck you into the monotony.

Speaker 2 1:35

It's familiar but it's not exactly the same.

Speaker 1 1:38

Yeah, you know, everything's been good man, and now I can do what I want.

Speaker 2 1:44

So I have been in a very good space mentally anything you want to talk about with your newfound freedom that you couldn't talk about before oh, there's plenty, but that's not for uh, episode one I.

Speaker 1 1:57

I can really go into a whole slew of things now. I don't even know how you spell that shlue. A myriad of topics, a who cares?

Speaker 1 2:06

right, but the most important thing is I got that dd214, which means I'm officially released from the military man that is insane to say after 10 years I'm out of there bro, no longer sergeant white, I'm mr white that is, yeah, you don't gotta answer the uncle sam, no more no, there's a thing called an individual right reserve and all that, but like you know, it's nothing major to anything, unless we go into a catastrophic world where they need some skills and they pull you back and you gotta go do some which is actually quite possible.

Speaker 1 2:41

The way shit is going now, I mean hey, but I'm like not the first choice is if they run out of people or they are like you know, the body count is crazy, you know, then they'll call me how crazy would it look if I like put my foot up here on the dash just do it all right. I wish we had smell-o-vision it don't stink, they're clean okay, I'm just kidding, but no, this is uh. We owe a lot to the subscribers because y'all have been keeping us going while we've been getting hit by all of life's uh fuckery, for lack of better words.

Speaker 1 3:20

We've been getting steamrolled and cheese grated, shot stoned, you name it. I think I've done something like this similar on another episode.

Speaker 2 3:29

It is usually, when we come back, we tell y'all how we've been getting. You know, getting our asses handed to us by life on a platter, it's just a regular thing now, you know that visual man.

Speaker 1 3:40

We need to once we edit. I don't know if we're gonna edit any of this stuff, but if we were to edit I would insert that butt. Cheek serving someone like over ass yeah, but from yeah, there we go. I said from ruspisha, from norbert, that turkey ass yeah, that's how we've been getting filleted and broiled out here, god. Yeah, we're like the crab you put in the pot and they just, they try and fight until they, they pass away and they can't fight anymore I feel like a well done steak yeah, you know, I definitely cooked out here, but no excuses, we are here potting and this time we're doing videos, so y'all get to see what we look like.

Speaker 1 4:23

Uh, the fits ain't crazy. This is a place where you can feel like, yeah, they actually live real life.

Speaker 2 4:28

Yeah, for sure, we're gonna talk about everything on this one. Do you want to give a shout out to the hoodie that you're wearing?

Speaker 1 4:34

yeah, for sure, uh, belen, made for creators by creators. This is a fantastic hoodie. If I was uh standing up, I would show the backside, but it's something that I think you need to see. But if you need to know her handle, it is at belen oreo belenoreo, b-l-e-n dot o-r-e-o. Just go to the gram. It'll lead you to everything else, but if you want some merch and you're a creator, it is only for creators, though. That's the thing.

Speaker 1 5:02

You gotta be out here doing some kind of content or something you know, create something and then you can write no, no, uh, what is it called stolen valor?

Speaker 2 5:11

out here you got to be about it to wear this stuff a lot of people might not know about that stolen valor, as much people be out here wearing camouflage. Yeah, they don't know.

Speaker 1 5:20

No better, that's okay if it's like a designer brand type deal or like some fashion is fine, but you know, don't be wearing people's ranks and names out here. Don't mind, my vice also, like this is not the place for you know, what you say, we listen and we uh we listen and we don't judge.

Speaker 2 5:37

But the amount of people that vape, you know it's like a.

Speaker 1 5:40

I wish I had a percentage of, like the statistics you could, but we're we're coming coming up here with no production team, so we don't have anybody to research it for us Except you. You could I could you? 100% could, if you wanted to know.

Speaker 2 5:53

You know what? Just for shits and gigs. Let's take a look here.

Speaker 1 5:57

Yeah, you know it's a lot of the population and a lot of them are underage, which, by the way, when I was in Vegas I went to go get a vape, right, and then there were some kids out there asking me to go get a vape for them. Like I'm like why, why do you want me to go get a vape for you? And they were like oh, we're not 21. I was like oh yeah, you got to be 21 to get a vape now. So I was like I can't do nothing for you, bro, I'm not about to do that. At the time I was still in the military. So I'm like ain't no way, ain't no way. I'm doing that and call me whatever. But I was being cautious because I was like ain't no way, that's just as bad as buying somebody underage um, alcohol, for like, it's not a big deal where you come from in the hood, but like for corporations like the department of defense, for they're in your business about every single thing.

Speaker 2 6:48

Yeah, what you got it says, in 2023, the percentage of adults in the us who currently use e-cigarettes was 6.5. This represents a slight increase from the 4.5 in 2019.

Speaker 1 7:01

That's just what's reported, yeah I I'm going to say.

Speaker 2 7:04

The CDC reports also indicate that young adults aged 21 through 24 had the highest percentage of e-cigarettes use in 2023. This seems a little skewed.

Speaker 1 7:15

It is.

Speaker 2 7:16

Because I find more people who vape than who don't.

Speaker 1 7:21

That's because it doesn't have a scent for real. That's the biggest thing, People smoke cigarettes too, but they aren't running up to buy them because you can't hide that, you know. I think it's the hide ability of such things that makes it enticing for that age group for sure you know, the funniest shit ever is when you see a vape user lose their vape.

Speaker 2 7:41

It's hilarious. Y'all be hitting them. Where's my vape? You see my vape. And then if you say you haven't seen it. They make you stand up or they make you like move yeah, bro, get up real quick.

Speaker 1 7:52

Let me see under there, because they don't trust you.

Speaker 2 7:54

No, I know they don't trust your word that you don't got.

Speaker 1 7:57

That's what happened in the beginning of the episode, I dropped my joint in between the. This is the crevice right here that like between the seat and your emergency break, bro, come on yeah, I call it nicking out.

Speaker 2 8:06

When y'all start nicking, you can't find yeah, bro, it's bad oh nothing is cool until you find it when I've seen people like whose vapes go like that y'all got a little bit of juice left. The extent that y'all go to to get a couple hits is pretty entertaining and the ones that are really stressed out. Understand bro, it makes me, makes me quite tickled it's just a reminder.

Speaker 1 8:27

You know I'm about to minimize, the hell out of it, it's just a reminder to take a deep breath of some chemicals. That's really, it really. When you think about it, you just some chemicals and machinery now let me say, since we're going to be on youtube and things, that we are not encouraging the use of said products.

Speaker 1 8:44

However, I'm also not about to be a hypocrite and say I don't use it because I do so. Make your own decisions. None of this is licensed advice. Do what you want. I don't care what that is you do, but make sure you know. You heard it here first use it responsibly, right?

Speaker 2 9:00

ain't that what you gotta say?

Speaker 1 9:02

no, just do what you do and don't think that this is the pod. That's like encouraging the use of vapes, it's not shit. There's people out there smoking worse than a vape of course, but I'm just saying we are not the pod that endorses such things. Okay, it's just in here, it's the environment that I am happening to create. So, whatever judge or be judged, I don't care either way. Man, where do we start? Do we go back to june 4th, you know the day where?

Speaker 2 9:29

where the song?

Military Exit and Life Changes

Speaker 1 9:30

I was freed from said chains in the military, I think it's a good place to start and then, and then. I guess we kind of sprinkle in from the top of the year on down that sounds good to me all right, cool.

Speaker 1 9:42

So june 4th, that's where we're gonna go. This is the day where we were all just kind of hoping and praying that we would get some orders to leave this place and that we could set up, you know, some shipments of household goods and get going with our life, you know, but this was the day where I also was found like I don't know. I'm just going to skip to the part where it matters the most. I was told at around 2.45 pm that I had to be out of my crib by five. That's the. That's the kicker right there. As if we were being evicted. Your date of separation is June 4th. Therefore, you leave on June 4th, no ifs ands or buts about it. Even if you haven't had anything set up, it doesn't matter. And then we're going to charge you for the amount of property that we have to remove from this place, that you didn't have time to pack up for. Yeah, thousands of dollars charged to this one right here for some items that were not mine to begin with.

Speaker 2 10:41

Some were.

Speaker 1 10:43

A lot of them were not.

Speaker 2 10:47

Yet the bill is mine, even the way that you're saying it. Saying it doesn't fully do it justice I mean how?

Speaker 1 10:53

how else can I say it? Man, they said get the fuck out some parts that are missing, is they?

Speaker 2 10:58

they were jerking you around about this date of separation. Okay, yes, there was nothing solidified and set in stone. The date kept changing, so there was no way to know for sure. And then you know, june 4th was the day that they, that they, they did give you, but then they said something about like what, june 10th? And then it could have been like this is like it was dates on my record.

Speaker 1 11:19

We're not reflecting.

Speaker 2 11:20

Yeah, the dates kept changing. So then they decided, like you know what, nope, it's actually on the 4th, which is pretty fucked up. Yeah, give you two hours. Was it even two hours?

Speaker 1 11:29

it was. It was two hours when I found out, but I had to finish what I was doing and then get back to the house I had to tell bro about it because he was there with me in the car and then figure out how to keep stress down, so nobody panicked. You know, while we figure out what stuff we need to grab and what stuff we can't fit, in one truck in one car. That's all we had.

Speaker 2 11:47

We didn't have any heads up about anything, so we couldn't get a u-haul, uh schedule pickups for anything see, let's also make mention that the military is supposed to help you with these things on your way out. They're supposed to help you come and pack up your shit, get you out of the house. It's not supposed to be messy like this, the way that it was, but you're the anomaly. Right, they did you dirty. They did my man's dirty. I never seen that like it, never heard anything like it it was like some ghetto shit.

Speaker 2 12:16

Y'all know in the ghetto when niggas get put out their house like you ride by, you see a bunch of shit out on the curb. I didn't know they did it like that in the military, on a base at that.

Speaker 1 12:26

I mean it's theirs, it's their stuff so it was ghetto as hell yeah, I mean, hey, when you can't do anything without this piece of documentation that you've been trying to get for I don't know six months, you can't do anything. Anytime you call an agency, like let's just say, uh, you call household goods and shipments, and they are first asking what's your name, what's the last for your social and where your orders? So if you don't have orders, you can't do anything because that's just the golden ticket. Orders say you are leaving and going somewhere, whether it be to another base or to the civilian sector, to the guard, to the reserve, whatever. Uh, that's what says that you are actually going. That's when it's solidified. So if you don't have that solidified document, well, you are going anywhere technically. But in my case I guess it's an outlier situation because, because my date of separation was j June 4th, they said you leave today that's crazy.

Speaker 2 13:25

Lost everything, thousand dollars of stuff.

Speaker 1 13:27

You know I'm not gonna go and be. I'm not even gonna name the items that were left.

Speaker 1 13:33

but just imagine you live by yourself for 10 years and you accumulate things one by one, by one, you know, and then a metaphorical house fire happens and you lose everything. That's what I'm telling myself it is, so I don't get angry, you know, it's just, it's foul activity, so that's it. You just take your losses. But it didn't make the transition to the civilian side a little bit easier, because you know I'm carrying less, so your flexibility in that realm is plenty, plenty more than it would be.

Speaker 1 14:07

but anyways, that's how we got here I'm not gonna go into the sticky details, but yet yet I mean I feel like over time, more will come out with this, because like your story needs to be heard, but I'll tell it all. It'll be like a trapped in the closet type deal. You know, know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 14:24

You're going to do it in segments.

Speaker 1 14:25

It has to be in segments. There's too much to cover. I mean, we only got an hour an episode. Really, before people start to really check out.

Speaker 2 14:33

You know, one of these episodes is just going to be your drone. You just like lay it all out there.

Speaker 1 14:39

And I guess I should finish the how do we get here? We drove, yeah, that's a 36 hour road trip from Idaho to Delaware. Man Boy, was that fun. What can you highlight about your road trip that you remember? What made it so much fun? Sweets, you know. Let's talk about that.

Speaker 2 15:03

Well, we stopped in some interesting places. A lot of these places look like they lynched color folk, so that was a little interesting, I guess.

Speaker 1 15:11

That wasn't until later, though. It was like Kentucky.

Speaker 2 15:14

It was a couple places we rode through. I was like I wouldn't stop and get gas here. They look like they might call you gal. You look like you ain't from around here boy, yeah what you want, boy. It was a couple places like that.

Speaker 1 15:27

Why is that the first thing you go to when you're recapping a fucking?

Speaker 2 15:30

road trip. It was the first thing I thought about.

Speaker 1 15:32

Damn. We had fun, we drove 36 hours and four days and some change.

Speaker 2 15:38

We, it was really you. Shout out to you.

Speaker 1 15:40

I'm saying we because we are a team.

Speaker 2 15:45

Shout to you I'm saying we because we are a team shout out to fat daddy because he ate.

Speaker 1 15:49

That drive up left no crumbs. We had young, young stunner with us and he had two dogs, cove and milo. Um made it work. So it was a full house, but we traveled in a, in a f-250, so you know we was riding comfortable. I had a car trailer on the back with the gritty green goblin which is what we're filming, this one in on the back. You know I'm saying it's uh, it was a good time and I say at least take one road trip in life.

Speaker 1 16:10

That's my unsolicited opinion and advice for that sure, it's uh something you get to experience where you'd rather be in a airport terminal. Well, you're on the road out in the city, in the real town, with the real people, with the hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and you can do a whole lot more. You know, our case is a little bit different because you know we have folks with us. We had extra baggage a little bit, so we had to get, uh, like the press, the precious gifts to their rightful owners yeah, yeah, that's true, and then after that it was, it was gravy, pretty simple.

Speaker 1 16:44

Take a road trip, though.

Speaker 2 16:45

How soon would you take another road trip? I?

Speaker 1 16:47

mean I'm about to take one in a couple weeks Back down to NC, right.

Speaker 2 16:51

That's true.

Speaker 1 16:52

Yeah, so I mean, I don't care. Driving is a place of solitude. I talked about this already. You get to do whatever you need to, especially when you're going by yourself. But if you're going with some other people, you got to make sure you're all uh comfortable with being silent for a little bit. You ain't about to rap for the whole trip. It's gonna be a couple hours where it's quiet.

Speaker 1 17:09

You got to be comfortable with that, otherwise you're gonna be like looking around antsy and your passengers will fall asleep on you yes, they will, yes, they will, and it's me, I'm passengers I'm gonna fall asleep and they fall asleep or you gotta do what you gotta do and make executive decisions, whether to drive, or whether to take a nap or what have you like. You gotta make sure everything is copacetic, bro, because you got people's lives at stake.

Celebrating Fathers and Their Impact

Speaker 2 17:34

If you don't, uh stay awake or you're not as alert I'd like to think I'm good company, but I'm also very much like an infant, like once I eat and then you drive. The sound of the hum of the car is gonna put me to sleep yeah and it's inevitable. You know I'm saying that and pretty lights, you know, gonna keep me occupied, so I guess it's safe to say I have the out of the mind of a toddler, but it's okay man all right.

Speaker 1 17:59

So I guess we gotta acknowledge Father's Day.

Speaker 2 18:03

Yeah, because.

Speaker 1 18:05

Man First.

Speaker 2 18:06

Happy late Father's Day To all the incredible dads out there.

Speaker 1 18:10

Yeah, this is our blanket, like. Happy Father's Day To all the ones that really do it for real. Shout out to y'all the ones that really Really make, yeah, every effort to see their children and spend time with them and be involved, and not just in a fiscally responsible way. But you know, it's the time spent.

Speaker 2 18:29

It's the time spent quality time, listening, observing, coaching you know, yeah, I think it's the fathers out here that make a lot of the core memories. You know, like y'all are very impactful. I like the movie yeah Inside.

Speaker 1 18:44

Out yeah, inside out yeah inside out.

Speaker 2 18:45

Yep, those special memories. We don't give enough credit to y'all, but I feel like the father not saying moms don't, but dads make a lot of those key, you know, core memories that stick with you that's fire.

Speaker 1 18:56

This is kind of going along with the episode we did for mother's day, you know, giving the flowers to the fathers, bro yeah man look it's only right we go through a lot, just like they go through a lot.

Speaker 1 19:05

It's different entities, but it's it's still. It's still a lot to manage and if you don't have good support systems and good you know, uh, wise counsel, you know you need wise counsel for sure, or else you won't. You're gonna crash out or not make the right call or whatever, and there's no like right or wrong call. You just gotta make a call and then later on you figure out whether it was an appropriate decision or not. But, needless to say, this thing is not easy. You know you got miles to feed, you got people to provide for and and that's your reason why it changes you.

Speaker 1 19:38

Bro, when you really really think about what kids do they change you as, as a man, like they make you a man. Either you're going to be a man or you're going to be a deadbeat and a bum. There's no in between. Your kids will definitely teach you things about yourself, about them, about the world, that you would never, ever experience, which is why I recommend, at least, if you can try, try to have one kid. If you can't conceive one, there's a lot of new ways, with all the health and technology, that you can have a kid like it's not like having a dog. I don't want to hear anybody say it's the same, it's not or even if they're not your own, if you're an uncle stepdad you know stepdad, cousin, do it.

Speaker 2 20:17

You know big brother, anything like that. Y'all have a big impact, like a lot of the major lessons that I've learned in life came from a male figure, whether it be, you know, older brother, uncle, even my pops. So y'all, y'all have a very huge impact that and we don't acknowledge that enough yeah, I mean, we're like the, the it's like a silent job.

Speaker 1 20:43

Yeah, you just do. You can't really expect anybody to verbally acknowledge what you're doing, or even recognize it to begin with, because it's just your responsibility.

Speaker 2 20:53

What's it say in the Bible? What's y'all's curse from Adam?

Speaker 1 20:57

Work, you will work. You will eat off the sweat of your brow.

Speaker 2 21:02

That's what we do what does he talk about? Like idle hands or something?

Speaker 1 21:05

yeah, man, that's another proverb. If you have idle hands more than you have active hands, you know poverty will overtake you. Essentially I'm paraphrasing, but that's the gist like cannot be idle like you might.

Speaker 1 21:20

You might be able to get one day where you could just like, take it all in and feel it, but other than that you got to keep on going, because money doesn't stop, time doesn't stop, people's needs and wants don't stop. So you gotta keep pushing. Yeah, by any means necessary. Bro, it's insane. You gotta find some way to make it work complacency is the devil.

Speaker 2 21:40

That's for men and women, of course.

Speaker 1 21:42

You know, but you know so shout out to y'all, shout out to the fathers that spend that time for real.

Speaker 2 21:49

You know, quick, quick word for the bitter baby mamas out here. I know there's a lot of great baby moms, children's mothers, but y'all bitter ones that keep the kids away from the good dads. Y'all don't realize how good you had it, because there's a lot of moms out here that wish that their dad would call and ask for that baby and or ask for that kid to help take care of them. There's a lot of moms out here wishing for that and y'all are blocking y'all blessings. Just gonna put that out there. Shame on y'all raggedy bitches. That's it, though.

Speaker 1 22:20

That was just my little spoiler, hey man, if you got somebody who's involved, man, let them be involved. I'm not saying just any old body, but when you see that they're making a valiant effort to.

Speaker 2 22:33

See.

Speaker 1 22:37

Even if it's for a half hour, every second counts with that one, because it takes a village for sure.

Speaker 2 22:45

Oh yeah, it's how you know you're back home. People be talking to themselves walking around outside.

Speaker 1 22:48

You got to get right. I missed it here. You got to get right this place is.

Speaker 2 22:53

I feel so at home. Yeah, it's a lot.

Speaker 1 22:55

It's a lot in this place that people don't really talk about, because it's just a part of it. You don't realize how different it is here than it is anywhere else. Like one, being on the east coast is extremely different than the west coast, but something about this state, and something about this state in particular, it can either be really really good for you or it can be like a home base reset and remember why you left here, but don't forget that you need to still pour back into this place and don't completely forget it like it's a lot you gotta manage a lot when you come here.

Speaker 2 23:24

I know her back hurt. That's how I walk with my shit too.

Speaker 1 23:27

We just had somebody walk by. You know we in the neighborhood parked up in the car, as you can see. She, walking like she's gonna, went to world war ii I'm saying that it's anybody who deals with back pain.

Speaker 2 23:37

There's just a certain way that you can, that you can move. That's that's definitely what it is, though damn okay.

Speaker 1 23:44

So we did the father's day shout out a little bit. We still didn't spend enough time on that. But all I want to say to the fathers before we move on is like, don't quit. As much as it's annoying, as much as it stretches you out to have to communicate with somebody about the, the whereabouts or the well-being of your, your shared child, or whatever you got to sacrifice to make that work clear your schedule. Make it happen, because these kids don't understand work or what that means, but they just know daddy was there.

Speaker 1 24:15

You know what I'm saying. So just make every effort to be there, even if you're running late and you can only get to the game like in the fourth quarter. But they remember that you tried that. So make the effort. Deal with whatever you know variables you have to and don't let it be an excuse to miss out on something that you had every right to experience and every chance to make it. So I hope that makes sense. I'm not trying to make it like a a lol topic or whatever, but not's a serious responsibility to be somebody's parent and specifically a father Like you're the cornerstone for a lot of what they do, especially in the discipline department.

Speaker 1 24:53

So if you all know anything about discipline, it's the thing that takes you to the next level. So not to say that mothers don't discipline, they just don't discipline. The way we discipline, you know we don't have all them real combos that most people shy away from and I'm talking about the my bad, I'm talking about the fathers who really really did the work on themselves and change. When you get around your people and they say you changed, like take it as a compliment you're supposed to don't. Don't trip about that. If they didn't change, that's on them. It ain't even for you to comment on. That's me speaking to younger me. Just peep it and keep on moving.

Speaker 2 25:32

I ain't even mean to go there. That's good, we'll see it's out Weekend recap Weekend recap.

Speaker 1 25:44

Yeah, bro, what's your top moment of the weekend?

Speaker 2 25:48

well, I mean, you know, my fat ass would probably have to say all the food that I got to eat go ahead, run them down, the spread what? Have you had, since you've been back in the yo which, by the way, you got to tell the story about when you cried over the readers.

Speaker 1 26:02

I think that's important. Well, first that was in north carolina yes, yes.

Speaker 2 26:07

So over in idaho I'm not sure about like cali or the rest of like the west coast or anything, but there's no readers, water ice out there, and that was all I wanted was a mango gelati. I wanted it so bad and I kept talking about it. So in our journey over here, we stopped in north carolina and my pops blessed me with a mango gelati. Oh, thank you, jesus. See, I'm about to get emotional now.

Speaker 1 26:32

And then, actually, I started weeping not crying weeping ugly no, she was really like what's her name from um scandal she was oh, carrie washington, yeah, she had to carry washington on it.

Speaker 2 26:42

No, I was trying like yvette, like he, jody, don't love you I was really.

Speaker 1 26:46

It really did something to me I was like, bro, she really, she really desired this thing I'm trying to tell you since I've been back.

Speaker 2 26:52

My mama fried me some fish and I had a whole plate Of deviled eggs. She was in there Just throwing deviled eggs all day.

Speaker 1 27:10

Oh, you needed some. Sorry, I took the last three.

Speaker 2 27:13

I'm ashamed of myself.

Speaker 1 27:15

I was like god, yo, a vacuum is crazy.

Speaker 2 27:18

I'm ashamed of myself. I was like, yeah, there had to be over a dozen of these deviled eggs on there and I ate. Let's see, okay, there's maybe like 18 deviled eggs, I ate maybe about 12.

Speaker 1 27:34

Wait a minute.

Speaker 2 27:37

I had about 12 out of the 18. I'm ashamed of myself and I'm hoping I get some more Dog. Just one bite eating a deviled egg is heinous.

Speaker 1 27:48

Her first taste. She tried to bite half of it on some subtle. She had to be modest about it yeah, bro, you should have just done what you normally do, bro, I know you do that texture you know, I was sneaking in the kitchen, just yep, swallowing them just like that sickening yum. So yeah, you started with one food item, oh okay, okay, so her highlight off the grill. There was some ribs.

Speaker 2 28:09

There was some chicken wings. There was some t-. There was some chicken wings. There was some T-bone steaks, although I wasn't allowed to have none of the steaks, because it was for you.

Speaker 1 28:18

Had some of it, bro. I'll let you taste it, bro, come on.

Speaker 2 28:20

Okay, excuse me, I had a bite that was for the fathers.

Speaker 2 28:21

I couldn't have a whole steak because it was for the fathers. But that's okay, man, you can. There was some macaroni salad. Shout out, shout out, mom dude, shout out, dude. She made some pasta salad. She also made the deviled eggs that I drank, by the way, nope. Then there was, uh, what she made potato salad, pasta salad, macaroni salad. Oh my god, what else was there? Yeah, bro, I think that was the spread, sweet jesus. And then, oh, I was. I've been eating like fresh fruit because you know they stopped at the market. Got some, some good, fresh fruits and stuff.

Speaker 1 28:55

It's a market we ain't going to say, but it's down there in town somewhere by the river.

Speaker 2 29:01

See, I wasn't even going to give them all that.

Speaker 1 29:02

No, I give them all that, but it's a place you go for the best fruit.

Speaker 2 29:07

But I've been in Fatback Paradise all weekend and I love it. Here I'm actually trying to go back for fat back seconds today yeah, and top tier cereal is french toast crunch.

Speaker 1 29:17

I don't care what anybody says, it's not to be debated, I'm putting it in there. I've been having a whole lot of cereal random fat fact yeah bro, fat fact number one french toast crunch is the one, oh my god that you need to.

Speaker 2 29:29

You think that's better than the cinnamon toast crunch it's.

Speaker 1 29:31

It's for the people who like simple. You know I'm saying if you like all that extra sugary goodness, then that would be a close second, but yeah for the wow you're saying. The french toast is better, for sure bro, we don't want all that extra sugar crap. I just you know. I mean like I'm about to get right no, no, no, like I want the. I want the simple crunchy, sweet, subtle, makes good milk oh, does it get soggy fast like milk.

Speaker 1 29:57

It's a checklist it's a checklist for that cereal, bro. It gotta be something that I can eat. But if I get sidetracked it won't get soggy right away like the waffle crisp, like that shit is up there too for me that's number two.

Speaker 2 30:08

That is pretty good yo. Cereal milk is undefeated yo and they bottle, they bottle it now? Yeah, I was going to say once I saw that they start selling cereal milk, I was like that's genius. I feel like I've wanted it for years and they finally got a hit to it. Perfect timing, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 30:23

They get some. What's the little lamp that Yomi used to have with?

Speaker 2 30:28

the rain, oh the sound, yeah, you get some rain in the background. Y'all get a little asthma, a little.

Speaker 1 30:33

ASMR, but like what's the other name for it, it's the.

Speaker 2 30:38

It's like a sound machine.

Speaker 1 30:39

It's a sound. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, some background noise, yes, that's it.

Speaker 2 30:44

It's raining, mm-hmm, I don't know if it's like. It makes for a good yeah background.

Speaker 1 30:49

let's wait a while you know, I'm saying it just what you're trying to calm the listeners no, not trying to calm them, but you know, when you get some rain going in the background, it's like what you do. When you kick it with your family, you watch movies. Yes, in the wintertime you have some hot chocolate, I mean you get some graham crackers you make, bake some snickerdoodles or some chocolate chip cookies, whatever the hell, that sounds beautiful I mean you just intimately together as a family.

Speaker 2 31:15

I would never want to leave the house am I the only one that likes to be cooked up in the cream.

Speaker 1 31:20

Hell, no what do you think that they're doing? Watching this pod, bro, they ain't out and about. Like, if you listen to the pod, that's one thing where you might be in the gym or at work in a meeting that day talking about bullshit and you don't really want to follow along. But if you sitting in front of your tv or you you like to be in the house, only people who like to be in the house like podcasts or or have gotten into them, you know you can't be outside trying to mingle with the people and there's too much going on, you can't really absorb what?

Speaker 2 31:46

you're listening to.

Speaker 1 31:48

Right, that makes sense but man, what a, what a. I never thought that we'd be here. This was just a touch point, for you know some child custody things you know. If you didn't know, I am definitely moving on in my life in a different way. Everybody notices this is a different person, like obviously, but if you haven't been paying too close attention you probably assume it's the same person. But it's not.

Speaker 1 32:13

You know, we talked about how we met. We talked about the whole history. If you want to know, that's season one type activity. We in season three now, yep, so do your research.

Speaker 1 32:22

Go back there, hear the story. If you want to know more, then ask us. You know I'm saying we got a buzzsproutcom website. I need to put in the description here so y'all can find it. But go excavate, do the fossil digging, because we're moving on to bigger and better things, which, by the way, damn dominoes looks fire right now see look at you sorry I'm just acknowledging we just pulled up next to me, bro, the fact that you're even looking at dominoes.

Speaker 2 32:46

Can we just talk about how I watched this man throw a foot and a half long cheesesteak? Okay, it was a foot long. No, you said a foot and a half long it's like.

Speaker 1 32:50

It's like a foot and a half long cheese steak. Okay, it was a foot long. No, you said a foot and a half long.

Speaker 2 32:53

It's like a foot and a half long. It's more than a foot, All right whatever, bro, I was hungry. Watch this man throw a whole jar.

Speaker 1 33:00

I had the munchies, bro. I'm a free man now and then Dom knows because every time I say oh, that looks good. He's going to hurt himself doing well for myself.

Speaker 2 33:19

Oh, your poor stomach. You about you. Finna, disappear for a little while, that's okay yeah, you might want to shower after you done whatever you do in the bathroom.

Speaker 1 33:22

That is insane. Sprinkle a little water yeah, of course, your cheeks. It ain't gonna be that bad, it's just gonna be. It's gonna be large. No, I'll just keep it at that you're gonna go into labor? No, it's just gonna be a little something. No, a little something, something like on some water he twits those cheeks sir I just said I'm going to do that.

Speaker 1 33:37

I'm just saying it's not gonna be that bad though you know what I mean. Like it's not gonna be damaged. I didn't eat something spicy and then eat something like I don't know. There's some things that if you do it'll just combust in your oh my god, you know what I mean? It's just fireworks, but not the good kind come on spicy yeah, bro, everybody's been there. You've been booty bone naked on the toilet and then you gotta lean over and pray to god, oh yeah, that's the one.

Speaker 2 34:01

You got your face in your hands like yeah bro, that's embarrassing.

Speaker 1 34:04

Even when you, by yourself, you're like I can't believe. I ate to the point where it made my body react like this you know it's crazy.

Speaker 2 34:10

We just wound up doing that shit again. It might be like a little bit of time in between, but you wind up doing that dumb shit again every time.

Speaker 1 34:17

I mean, if you're a true fat ass like me, I mean it doesn't even matter. I understand why people end up on my 600 pound life bro food is great. It releases that that dopamine feeling you have wow, you sound just like them dog. It's, it's everything, bro. What do you think about when you smacking a pizza, bro? Really nothing. All you're doing is like licking your fingers and talking about how good this shit is bro.

Speaker 2 34:41

Your food is like a drug. You have some good candy.

Speaker 1 34:45

You have some good ice cream, bro. We went to dairy palace yesterday, bro yo, that custard is nuts they put crack in their ice cream.

Speaker 2 34:54

I told you about my theory sugar is cocaine, bro. I don't care what anybody said, no for sure, but they put some type of addictive something in there. I don't know what it is. I could go again. There's two there's crack in there. Oh yeah, don't you call it your crack pipe yep, it's the little crack pipe.

Speaker 1 35:11

Again, not trying to endorse that, but you know if you find yourself in a situation where you need some relief. Boy, will you possibly turn to something like that?

Speaker 2 35:24

yeah see, I probably would do that if I knew how to smoke. I don't do it right, so I just stay away from it. Last time I tried, I almost coughed up a piece of my uterus.

Speaker 1 35:33

That is insane, bro. I'm just not doing it. Why are you like this? I ask myself that every day. What was it that you said? You said you were going to bring back the thing where you talk about Thursday and 8 or similar or whatever.

Speaker 2 35:49

My autistic rant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You said you were going to bring that back. I need to, I need to.

Speaker 1 35:54

I gotta think of more things to say she's got some stuff for y'all that when, at an appointed time, she will bring back.

Speaker 2 36:01

I'm gonna just let her I gotta compile a list of all like, of all my stuff she says blows my mind, though.

Speaker 1 36:08

You just be like how did you come to such conclusions?

Speaker 2 36:11

man, look the ones who know, know, if y'all got that shit, y'all y'all be like okay, I get it. I understand what she means. Like real quick, let's talk about numbers. Right, I feel like we got masculine numbers and we got feminine numbers. There are some numbers that I just automatically think is like I can't believe.

Speaker 2 36:27

I'm like it's like male type or male energy, same with. Oh all right, let me give an example the number one, the number seven, the number four, they are all masculine numbers, they're like males. But numbers like three and eight, what else I'll say? Maybe even like six, kind Kind of like nine, they're all women. Think about it. They're curvy, like a woman.

Speaker 1 36:58

You know.

Speaker 2 36:58

then we got some numbers that are like in between, like I said. I said the numbers two and five are like a gay couple right, I'm going to say that they're both men, but like five is like the gay bottom right and two is like the top. Nah bro it makes a lot of sense. You 25, you put them together, that's a perfect gay couple y'all.

Speaker 1 37:20

Let us know in the comments what you think. Let us know in the comments what you think about that theory on numbers sweet. Look, I'm not gonna say it doesn't make sense. It does make sense. However, how is the question? Did you get question? Did you get there?

Speaker 2 37:35

How did you get there, Like what day.

Speaker 1 37:37

was it where you were like these are masculine numbers and these are feminine numbers and together they make a what?

Speaker 2 37:44

I've always thought like that. It's just like people who can smell colors Shout out to my Sib, shout out to D, because this nigga was telling me about, about how, how, like certain farts smell like purple, or some of them smell green. I don't get that part, but I also kind of get it like some people smell colors. I taste things that are sharp and pointy, or sometimes it's like soft and fuzzy right for mcdonald's.

Speaker 1 38:13

Yeah, that's see, you get it. I get that part. I do. I never said I didn't get half the stuff. I just I wonder how you got there. That's the. I think I said that already I was born this way.

Speaker 2 38:24

I don't know how I got there.

Speaker 1 38:26

I was just like that it's like that, because I'm like that yeah, I'm just one of the special people. God made me this way you just gotta deal with it. I think he spilled a little too much, or something it's that chemical x he didn't spill enough into my head. I said that before he forgot the rest of the ingredients it's like when they was making the powerpuff girls.

Speaker 2 38:46

He put a little extra chemical x and put a little extra sarcasm in me instead of you know the half cup that was left on my head.

Speaker 1 38:51

It's supposed to be a whole cup you get. He put a little extra sarcasm in me instead of. You know the half cup that was left on my head it was supposed to be a whole cup. He put a half cup in there. I forgot, got sidetracked.

Speaker 2 38:59

What sarcasm.

Speaker 1 39:00

No, from my head shape genius. Oh, all right, I'm talking about how he didn't pour enough into my head. I got a little Beetlejuice head, but it's cute though you know what I'm saying, or what's the dude from men in black who got his head shot off and then and it kept growing, do you? Have any idea how much that stings ew nah, bro, on everything. He just forgot a little bit, but it's cool we still got grooves in our brain up here that work I got enough head for the both of us.

Speaker 2 39:29

I'm not using my shit. I got enough for two people. You better not say shit.

Speaker 1 39:33

Don't agree or disagree, even I didn't say anything, I'll just chuckle but not say they know. They know you brought it up.

Speaker 2 39:44

I didn't say nothing and see where we want to go with it man, look, I don't even know.

Speaker 1 39:50

Okay, I don't even know, because this is one the our first attempt at doing this on video, which I like it. I like it actually. It's not bad. There's no limits to what we can say so far. You know, we're gonna put this out there. I'm like, oh you're, they're gonna flag the hell out of this video. You think so yeah, for sure you know, because we're just going into it. You know there's a lot of people edit out, whether they talk about certain topics that they don't want to get into yet, or whatever.

Speaker 1 40:15

We just we're nothing too bad yet we're a pod that well, I guess we'll find out. We're a pod that's like raw to the point about whatever it is we're talking about, okay, and there's no rhyme or reason to how we do it. We just get in here, we chop it up. It's been a while since we've seen y'all, though, so I'm liable to go wherever the hell my brain takes me. But then we talked about the road trip. Like that was phenomenal.

Speaker 2 40:43

I would do that again, and the only thing I would change is to make it longer and I would also not have any children with me.

Speaker 1 40:51

It's cool if you have the time to like BS around. You know, when you have a purpose, then yeah maybe not.

Speaker 2 40:55

I'm gonna say a cross-country trip with kids everybody always hears about that.

Speaker 1 41:00

They're like oh, you drove, how long was the drive? 36 hours.

Speaker 2 41:02

They're like damn that's a long time, but it's not what you think, bro, it's really not like it wasn't terrible.

Speaker 1 41:09

No, at some point the noise stops and they go to sleep but I would have had.

Speaker 2 41:13

I feel like it would be fun, more relaxing, when you only got to worry about your cello. You don't got to worry about responsibilities and stuff.

Speaker 1 41:20

You know People are like I gotta pee.

Speaker 2 41:22

You know it's more enjoyable that way? Yeah, but look, we'll have our time.

Speaker 1 41:29

Take a road trip, okay, just once in your life. That's the only thing I'm saying. It is something worth experiencing, and you do get to do things that you don't get to do. If you're in an airport terminal, bro, there's just more options, there's more flexibility on what you can get into, and if you got a vehicle as big as we had, like you could sleep in it if you really wanted to do that. Um, it's just, you know, maybe not the preferred travel, but every now and then, do that it's. It's cool.

Speaker 1 41:57

What a time what a time so now, uh, what's on the agenda is, uh, the film creation side of the house. I did want to talk about that for a sec. Like I'm getting fully into the screenplay world, writing some of my own, helping modify some that are already out and they're trying to get going and off the ground. I'm gonna be fully involved in the film industry, more than I thought I would ever say, but there's just important messages that need to be put out, and in the appropriate way, and I think I would do a pretty good job at helping put things out that feel authentic and real and educate and inspire and motivate, piss you off all kind of like sinners or, you know, I would give straw a good review you know, you didn't even finish it I don't have to.

Speaker 1 42:41

I don't have to, bro, when you see a movie that starts like that, like from jump street is just I hope that you finish it. I mean, of course I'm gonna give it a second look, but like it doesn't take me long you know this about me to tell whether a film is gonna be something or it's gonna be trash but the first 20 minutes is essential, so if you get it right there, yeah, it's kind of set up for you to do well straw, definitely, tyler perry did his thing.

Speaker 2 43:04

Like you know, everybody gives him criticism because all his movies have the same type of plot. They're all predictable, they all got the same like I don't know black dilemmas in each show and movie. But he, I don't know, he did his thing with this and a little twist at the end, gave a little twisty twist. I said, okay, tyler, I see you, that's the kind of stuff we're trying to create out here, so it's everything.

Speaker 1 43:30

Yeah, you know, I just found out about my pop. He's like a low-key video game um editor, like creator. Yeah, that's what his his hobby is, bro. We found that out. I was wondering why he always used to make like modifications to the characters, like on undisputed there's not every boxer isn't on there he would make them. He would just like find pictures of them and look at them and make the adjustments. And it looks just like he makes characters and fixes their attributes. I'm like oh, bruh, look if we make a game.

Speaker 1 43:58

We got somebody who can put all the details into it.

Speaker 2 44:00

I'm about to say that. His attention to detail.

Speaker 1 44:01

Yeah, bro, it's everything it's what they wear, what music they come out to, what gloves they like the type, the style that's a level of patience.

Speaker 2 44:09

Yeah, and that's what he does in his spare time. I'm like bro, you could do that.

Speaker 1 44:13

So again, I think one thing I did want to say is I realized that over the course of the last like week and a half or two how symbolic family is for her and I don't mean like just whoever you call family, because they are included in it too.

Speaker 1 44:29

Some of those can be more family than your actual blood. But like I'm talking your siblings first, I think it starts there. When the siblings get things right amongst themselves, you have a whole lot more power than if just one of you get it right. And I don't mean like making every right decision, but I'm saying like realize what this life is about and be the one that calls your friends all the time and setting the example.

Speaker 1 44:50

Yeah, bro, if your folks don't link unless you're around you might be that person, or like if you're the one that initiates things and gets stuff going when it's really not that difficult and the place you live in isn't that large, or it's just a line in the stars, man. It doesn't take much but a few texts and calls and the next thing you know, the whole thing you ever prayed about or dreamed about is happening right in front of you and all because you started it.

Speaker 2 45:13

You were the catalyst to uh, to healing, generational healing.

Family Healing and Reconnection

Speaker 1 45:17

If we're trying to make it differently, please. We have to like there's no other way to to go about doing it and just to see, like my family, for example, but we, we talk a lot more about a whole lot more substance, because that's something that I always wanted to happen. So when you want that enough, you start to make the the efforts to make it happen. Like, start the combo, ask the question, play the song that made you think of them, share with them, read a book together, talk about an episode, whatever. Bro, there's so many things you could do to get to know people mine is music.

Speaker 2 45:50

It's beautiful. It's beautiful to see.

Speaker 1 45:52

Yeah, well, to hear got the smoke with my pops, bro. That's, that's like. That's huge. That's huge. Yes, I indulge in this green plant we have on earth.

Speaker 2 46:03

That's so magical there's a lot worse you could be indulging in.

Speaker 1 46:07

Oh for sure, but like to be able to connect like that with my pops and talk and hash all of our issues that we once had. That were just we're similar, where I'm literally a copy and paste version of my dad, but slightly different and just tendencies and personalities, but the root is the same I think that gives like a lot of hope that you know it's never too late to mend no bro broken relationships or some cojones yeah, it's never too late to fix broken relationships or some cojones.

Speaker 2 46:38

Yeah, it's never too late to fix an estranged relationship if you want to, bad enough, like nine times out of 10, the other person that you're estranged with, or whatever you want to call it. They probably want the same thing as you. They probably want to reconcile just as much as you.

Speaker 1 46:48

It's always some pride or some ego involved where it's like somebody knows what they want and they're just like I ain't going to be the one to do it.

Speaker 2 46:55

Yeah.

Speaker 1 46:55

Like I ain't Be the bigger person. I hate that saying, but like really though.

Speaker 2 47:00

Yeah, it's not about being bigger. It's like having an honest conversation Make it make sense.

Speaker 1 47:04

Yeah, it don't matter what the beef is, bro. Look, we all know what the elephant in about. We need to move past that. I would hate for you to pass away and then me be at your your home going service like damn last time we talked, it was in y'all were arguing yeah, just a volatile state and a lot of times I feel like talks they don't.

Speaker 2 47:21

They don't have to include an apology, just being honest, so like you know, this is where I was at with it. This is where you're at, I see what you were trying to say.

Speaker 1 47:29

I see what you were trying to do I was trying to do something else for a different purpose. It clashed. I understand you at a minimum that in itself is yeah, that's huge, I want to move forward with you in in a healthy space and in a healthy way, because what's more important is how we can I'm gonna see together and team up it just takes one person, bro, for sure one person to initiate it and it's like a uh butterfly effect.

Speaker 1 47:54

For the rest, yeah, like and I ain't saying by any anything, that is easy, no, you just can't quit. That's the only difference between the greats and the people who aren't. One of them decided not to quit and one of them said fuck it, I ain't got the time for it anymore. Then that's it. You gotta be like the mosquito that motherfucker will bite you at some point, even if it dies on the way there. It's gonna make it happen like you gotta be like that about your goals and about your relationships.

Speaker 2 48:23

Man, relationships are everything it's all a matter of how bad do you want it?

Speaker 1 48:28

am I rapping like I feel like?

Speaker 1 48:30

no, it makes, it makes that's important, makes a lot of sense and and for the folks that are questioning, like after all this father's day stuff, whether they can be parents, bro, I'm gonna say yeah, like, if you're, if you care even a little bit about the people around you and how their well-being is or that has an impact on your mood, you can be a good parent because you, you'll care. It could be a bit overbearing at times when you care too much and you don't know how to like properly communicate that, but I just told, uh, one of my dudes that I linked with on linkedin, like, affording children is not difficult. You just have to give up some of the old stuff that you used to do. Right, people, be out here buying 50, 60 dollar bottles of alcohol. That's a. That's some infamil, bro. That's some maybe formula.

Speaker 1 49:16

That's some a box of diapers and some wipes like that's a that's you just switch it out. I don't know, it can't be vinyl vinyls are something that I love and like. Instead of buying a vinyl every week, you just buy one vinyl a month, like you minimize what you do for the sake of your kids it's feasible, but I would say it can be challenging.

Speaker 2 49:35

It's feasible though it's not. I understand that.

Speaker 1 49:37

But remember what we were talking about. First, the family. You got a good family that has good fundamentals and it takes a village. It's gonna take a village.

Speaker 2 49:46

So why not have one?

Speaker 1 49:47

establish that and then it's not as difficult, especially when you adjusting your budget. I'm not saying it's like go have a baby and think that you're gonna figure it out like no. Like consider what you've already been doing and what you might need to cut out and if you're willing to sacrifice that, then you can afford to have a child.

Speaker 1 50:03

It's not. Most of your time is going to be spent with them, watching them and figuring out what it is that they're interested in and then recreating moments that you had, you know, so that way they can experience their first right kids experience a lot of their first, which you were. I'm not trying to make this a parent pod, but, like it's father's day, you know, I'm saying or the, the snowball effect of father's day. I've had enough time to sit down and reflect about it it's a beautiful thing it is, it really is.

Speaker 2 50:30

I love to see it that's the coolest thing I think I've ever done is be a father like to have that be bestowed upon me it's a huge responsibility, but I wouldn't change it for the world where I school okay, that's beautiful to see to, to see someone who enjoys being a dad because I play this. Believe it or not, it's not as common as you would think like don't get me wrong there's a lot of dads who love being dads out there but there's also a lot of there's also a lot of dads who just don't give a damn and keep living life out here like their kids don't exist, and that's unfortunate.

Speaker 2 51:02

So it's beautiful to see you know dads who love being dads. I love to see.

Speaker 1 51:07

It makes my heart smile I think my favorite thing is like when they figure out something you know because life is difficult and you're not always gonna have help. So seeing them figure out what used to be a difficult task for you seamlessly, you know where they just get frustrated, but they don't quit and keep trying and they finally get it and get that sense of satisfaction. Bro, that is everything, because it'll take you far when you're not looking for other validation and you're like I did it yeah that's me.

Speaker 1 51:39

Everything that I learned about this I taught myself by just reading and watching videos and like trying it out myself. Like when you create a child that's functional, like that boy, do you create a capable adult to go out and do whatever that's.

Speaker 2 51:51

All we can ask for is that we make capable adults out here and we don't gotta worry about them so I would say share everything.

Speaker 1 51:58

Yeah, they say no. What is it that they were talking about? Like trying to be your kid's friend? I'm not saying that at all. Like there needs to be a boundary line between like what's right and what's wrong, and like you're who you are to them. I'm here to show you what life is like and and how to go about it and make sound decisions and have knowledge and wisdom and know where to go if you get lost and all of that stuff. To give you the foundation and the fundamentals. Like teach you some stuff, but I'm not your best friend, I'll tell you that. And Pop might come over here and be like Yo, but I'm going to keep it because he's funny, he's taking out Milo.

Speaker 1 52:33

We're going to have moments of that.

Speaker 2 53:46

We're probably going to talk about food at some point at least in every episode.

Speaker 1 53:57

That's been our theme, you know life, parenthood, food. I'm saying we're at least we're consistent. We're gonna talk about some some good blow moments too, not what you're talking about. We ain't talking about nose blow.

Speaker 2 54:01

We're talking about that green blow. I gotta clarify for the folks, bro. I want them thinking we do some heinous things out here.

Speaker 1 54:05

There's only one plant that I will rightfully support. Why did I do that?

Speaker 2 54:11

Speaker 1 54:40

Just for now. But when we get into story time for real, like yeah, we're gonna need some of y'all's time, patience and dedication, because it's just too much to cover in the last six months just alone, just that we're gonna figure out how to try to get y'all to sit here with us the whole time too.
