I know somebody was saying something a little different that you know, I talk a little fast, so sometimes I can.

SPEAKER_08

You think you talk fast or slow or or or in skitterish?

SPEAKER_06

I think my hand's fast, you know what I mean? Okay, not though through, I mean, like you think they're fast.

SPEAKER_08

No, no, I think you could be wrong. You could be wrong. You could be very, very wrong. And it could lead to a traumatizing experience for you if they're not fast.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah, maybe so.

SPEAKER_08

Very you missing episodes, everybody wondering why I'm up here by myself. And so be mindful. If they not really fast, yeah, don't put that joint out there. Like, damn. What's up, everybody, man, on this beautiful hump day, man. Hump day, we closer to the end of the week. We closer to the weekend. We closer to, you know, relaxing, man. A lot of us is off Saturday and Sunday, man. A lot of us got time to spin around our families, man, to teach, raise, and direct in a good direction, man. I say that because we do need to be mindful of that, man. Especially for the grown men. You know, more of us grown men need to start taking accountability and being aware of their family situations if you have that, you know. And I brought up the situation where it's getting near the weekend, I say that because most of us is off Saturday and Sunday. You know, the weather is changing. Time, you know, to relax and let your hair down a little bit from the stressful work week that you had. But also keep in mind that a split decision, I don't care if you had a barbecue, at a swimming pool, a basketball court, a decision you make. On a podcast, talking crazy. You never know. Exactly, like bro said on a podcast, acting like hands is fast and they ain't. You can a split decision, a split decision on your behalf, my behalf, it might have you sitting on your pockets, might have you sitting on a rocket. You never know. No, you never know, you never know. So be mindful, y'all. Be mindful, family and audience out there. Be very, very mindful. Because I I would hate to see anybody in jail, me included. Me first. I don't want nobody that had to go in there, man.

Uh, we definitely appreciate that. So yesterday we had a little bit of the uh technical difficulties, man, but we had a good, a good episode. Um, I didn't really get the the the the uh what I wanted out of out of the interview, and I'm gonna tell you why. I didn't get you know the uh resolution between uh some somebody that's that's cool with me and and and their son who's cool with me. Father and son. Yeah, because you know, we're not up here promoting environments, and we understand the importance of somebody like um you know Oskino and his son Muji. They they need they need each other more than ever. Especially, you know, not saying uh that one needs more than the other, but we like as a father, I'm a father. I need I need a relationship that with my father with my son. And Muji right now is in an oppressive situation as we already know. Sure.

SPEAKER_08

Where that comes with a lot of hardship. 20 to 40 years is super only seven in on it. Boy, he ain't even start walking up that hill yet.

SPEAKER_06

Exactly. So he needs to, he needs his father right now. Exactly. More than ever, because at the end of the day, you know, we just never know, you know, what situations we're gonna be in. And who else can be there? What other man can be there for him other than his father? I know he said his mother was there. Shout out to his mom. Um she from the she from, you know, she's cool people as well with us. And um, but we want to really get to the bottom of it. So I was trying to have an interview with Mooji because Mooji, I talked to him, you know, on many occasions, uh, not as much as I would like, but I spoke to him a few times about uh providing an outlet for him to do different things and to be able to be able to come on the podcast and speak about things that he's going through because a lot of young guys in jail who are going through what he's going through, but he just happened to be, you know, uh, you know, the son of somebody who I got a good rapport with, somebody that's that I would call a friend. And um for me, I look at that situation, I didn't get what I wanted to get out of it. You know what I'm saying? I just still felt like there's still some things that need to be ironed out. So we're gonna try to see what we can do to kind of you know fix that situation a little more. I don't I don't know what we're gonna do in the future, but there may be, you know, uh some additional conversation that we may have. Maybe we might even bring Oskino up here on the on the show. I think we can make that happen. Yeah, and had them conversate and talk, you know, and conversate, talk, air it out. We men, we men, but you but still ain't disrespectful.

SPEAKER_08

Exactly. So we're as though I'm calling you a bunch of B's and Ps and all that. No, we can argue modestly, men. I'm on all man shit, cuz I ain't on that. We sitting there in a room and then we really ain't getting me. Uh hold up. I wanted to give a shout out to uh Andre uh Guerrero.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, my bad. How do you say your name, bro? I listen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, bro. Like I just, you know, hope let me see. Andre Guerrero Guerrera.

SPEAKER_08

Okay, maybe if we're wrong, we apologize about that. Maybe text it into the chat and break it down into syllables, and I get it easier that way. Call him Andre G. Yeah, the boy AG.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, shout out to Neath Buck 316. Yeah, but like I was saying, though, just now boy Donnie 556721. You know, Edwin Pagan. Man, you ain't got to keep saying all the family names. They know you over the Egg.

SPEAKER_08

They got it. They got they know, man. Put a bunch of R. You going it's a thousand people. You gonna be here all day. The whole show gonna be you, Edward Allen 764, you Peggy Sue, Diamond 10, boy by now. Listen, um, yeah, back to what I was saying, man. I wanted to be a real honest encounter with them two men, and I think it will be that. It will be not only we're not putting it up here for entertainment, we're putting it up here to show you that it can work, it can happen. You know what I'm saying? And men address each other, it might be some screaming, some fussing to get to the soft part, you know what I'm saying? So it is what it is, ain't nobody, neither one of them two gonna do no thinking. They ain't gonna do no holding back, and I don't think they're gonna disrespect each other. No, that's father and son. I don't think he's gonna be like that, F you, and he's like, No, but they're gonna get it off their chest, though. That's what they're supposed to do. It matters, and by getting it off your chest, ain't gonna be, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, all right, we can do no. I'm gonna tell you how I feel regardless. That's how I feel. Okay, I may be wrong, but this is how I'm feeling, and he's gonna reverse and give him what he got, and that's just it. And this is how I think men should conduct themselves, man. Like how me and you do when we arguing, when you get when I act when I'm sitting here talking against uh something that I did wrong in another manner, and you be stern, you be stern. We go back and forth to the point where as though I ain't even speaking to you the rest of the day, you know what I'm saying? But that's how men have to communicate, all that, yeah. Man, and you know, the sodas in and that's a hum to be laugh, that's cool. We can do all that all the time. You know what I'm saying? That's your approach, that's why I always like using it. Anything that's I don't think about the grab the arms, you may you already know I'm on I'm on that's what I'm on. Grab them arms and let's meet them on the battlefield, the scratch, standing at the scratch line. For those who never read that book, it's a very, very, very one of the very best books I ever read in my life, man. And this it's not like a uh it's a uh it's a uh it's a historical fiction book about an old nigga back in slave times and he wasn't going for it. But Guy Johnson is the author of the book, and it's her that's uh Maya Angelo is his mother. You know what I'm saying? Maya Angelo is his mother, peace be upon her soul. She's passed, but her son is Guy Johnson that wrote the book, uh, Standing at the Scratch Line. So yeah, that's why I will meet you at the scratch line, Torfiq.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, but shout out to uh AG. That's his new name with the donation. You know what I mean? I got my other guy here, Ibn Al-Fulani, you know, that's our guy. But you know, my thing is this, man. You know, when these situations arise, so I was gonna ask you a question, right? Your son is in prison. I mean, if if your son is in prison right now and you're in Oskino's position, your son is in jail, you trying to, you know, y'all gotta y'all gotta rip them between y'all.

SPEAKER_08

And you asked me, and I'm in Oskino's position?

SPEAKER_06

Now, would you would you forgive him for something that he did that you didn't like? I mean, would you still visit him? Would you still send money on his books? Would you still, you know, even if he disrespected you, you feel like or you feel like he was not saying this is the case, but if you felt disrespected by your son, are you still doing everything for him in his oppressive situation?

SPEAKER_08

Um, there will be a grieving period for my son, because all support will stop until he finds out, or until he realizes, like, damn, I don't, especially if he disrespected me. Now, if we both couldn't see eye to eye on something and he went about his way and I went about my way, then I ain't too mad. But you disrespect me as your father and do something that's, you know, in my book, is like, yo, if a regular nigga would have did it, no coming back from. So I can't give you the no coming back because you're my son. But you will know, you will have time over your head to know pop and cut me off right now. You will come, especially if you need me and I don't need you, and you disrespect me and you, my son, boy, you got to find out you're gonna learn today. Because I ain't gonna kill you. I ain't gonna kill you. So the next best thing is to step away from me. And sometimes that's good. Meant to be show a motherfucker. See, a motherfucker don't find out something good until it's gone. That's where everybody. A motherfucker don't find out something good until it's gone. That's with money, that's with a house, car, a relationship. You don't know if it was really good for you or not until it's gone. Once it's separated out your life, you will start feeling that that yearning for that the return if it was good for you. If it was bad, then it'll be an easy departure.

SPEAKER_06

Exactly. Hey, shout out to um uh Dark Skin Beauty, shout out to uh Test Test uh Nate the G. I think I said something to you as well. Uh uh Kimmy Dance, shout out to you. Hey, listen, we're gonna get um we're gonna get uh Darkskin Beauty and James LaFlame. They will get married on this uh on this podcast.

SPEAKER_08

We keep talking about dark skin duskin beauty got a boyfriend. Oh, she does. You keep trying to get her to break up and be with some James the Flame. She ain't messing with James from down north, dark skin beauty from Brooklyn. Yeah, she might not like no north, nigga. That's a hell of a mixture. That is a hell of a boy. I ain't gonna lie, though, James and Duskin boy, that mixture right there. Y'all have a fireball. Woo!

SPEAKER_06

And Brooklyn and North really? Oh my eyes, and the baby that have two. We we'll be the uh the godparents, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_08

Tails from the jails. Stepdad, I'll be the baby daddy.

SPEAKER_06

But yeah, like you know, like but just this going back to um, you know, the situation with with the son being gentleman, flip that. If you was the son and you disrespect, or your father felt like you disrespected him by what you said or what you what you did, are you apologizing to your dad or your father or whoever you and I'm the one that disrespected you?

SPEAKER_08

You you might you may not have felt like you did nothing wrong. But he told you that's how he felt. Yeah. Um I um see this answer right here, and for those who are that caught the live yesterday, Mooji answered it. And he answered it in the proper fashion that I think it was supposed to be answered in. I was cool with his answer. He you asked him that about the interview he did when he was talking about bashing his dad and all that. He stood on accountability came when he was like, Yeah, man, I did that, man, and you know, I can't take that back or whatever, but I'll do it again. That's accountability. He ain't duck it or nothing. Yeah, I did, and I do it again. Now, whether you was wrong or not is a whole nother issue. But I like his approach. Like, all right, I did. He said, but I'm up for a conversation where I could tell him how I felt, and he could tell me how he felt, and then we'll iron the wrinkles off the pants when we get the iron board. That's it. That's it, that's all. That's what men's supposed to do. All that, you know, is one sided, and you just telling me your part, and that's it. No, we gotta get this, we gotta get it out, we gotta get this meat on the table. Not on duty. Not on duty, boy. Your whole life just sits around the center, not on duty. You just triggered, it triggers your little ass get wet too. Not on duty. Not on duty. Boy, this man crazy as hell, man.

SPEAKER_06

Yo, shout out to John Michael, the donation, man. We appreciate that. But for me, if my son did that to me, like, you know, I've been disrespected. I'm gonna find a good time. Speak about my situation with my son another time. But if my son disrespected me, it to certain points, I got I gotta show him, like, yo, I gotta show him tough love. Like, all right, you gotta learn now the value of having your father. Maybe you don't understand. Now, for me to, you know, cut certain things off from him, certain, certain, certain perks or benefits that he may get from me being a father. I'm not gonna never stop being his father as far as if he called me for advice and needed me, um, or if he's in that bad situation and he needed me, I would, I would be there for my son. But I would have to show him some tough love because sometimes kids need that tough love because otherwise they're gonna continue to keep going down that path. Then it may blow up to a point to where it's though Smiley end up getting hurt behind that. So, you know, I would still be a father, but I would still, I would definitely show him uh some tough love, uh, but I would still be a father. Now, if I was a kid, I'm a well, I'm a father, I'm I mean, I'm sorry, I'm I'm a son as well. I got a father like everybody else. We all got fathers, you know. And my father is the type of man whereas though certain things he did, it was like, regardless of what I say to you, regardless of what goes on, I'm still your father. So don't ever in your life disrespect me. And I'll hold on to that to this day. Like, no matter my dad may say some stuff that I don't like, I may address it to him, but I'm gonna address it to him in a manner of respect. You know what I'm saying? And I'm not gonna go outside of me and him to talk to him. Nobody's ever gonna come back to my dad and say, Well, your son said this, or I saw your son say that. I'm not gonna ever gonna do that. I'm gonna address my father in the most polite, you know, manner or whatever it is, and let him know how I feel. And I'm gonna be mindful not to make him feel disrespected because I understand that that's my father.

SPEAKER_08

See, and then why I could take it more so heartfelt from you is because I see what you go through, bro. I see what you go through a lot, man, in life with your family, with your father, how you honor and respect this man. He calls me all the time, man. He he keeps begging about this fist, this fist trip coming up.

SPEAKER_06

We're gonna make it happen for him.

SPEAKER_08

Um, and you have been through, you know, things that I ain't. gonna put out there until you're ready to put out there. But you have seen firsthand how the father and son relationship work. You know what I'm saying? And when you're ready at your time, and I I would love for you to because you know it's one thing to hear somebody advocating about, you know, father and son relationships and how it can work and how the sons will, but it's a it's another thing when a person done went through it, done felt it, so the people be like, damn, not only is he giving us on a game on how to, you know, not even a game, because I don't like to say game, giving us the the manual on how to because you can't really get it all the way right. But you're gonna get it right along the way. And when you get it from a person that got it through walking the fire instead of seeing it, I I I receive me, I receive it better. You understand what I'm saying? So yeah I respect everything you're saying when it comes to that man and I know wholeheartedly that what you're saying you're telling the truth and you're believing.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Now let's let's talk about that because right his son got let's just go back to Oskino and his son Muji got 20 to 40 Mooji's still kind of young early 20s I think late 27 27 years old about the pushing 30 he hasn't really even gotten to he hasn't even did 20 years yet he hasn't even got to the point where his dumb understanding has really set in.

SPEAKER_08

Like he's you can see the young man can uh you know his his grand his grandma was right the way he talked and all that he's learning all the little clair but realization really ain't step in yet they don't step into it but see with a sentence like 20 to 40 that's damn near like life especially if you catch that at an old or what saves him is him catching that at an early age and we just gonna be honest. If he dought that at our age that's life yeah 20 to 40 20 for you right now 40 four I can't even care I can't do no daggone come on that's life man four years old. So what saved him is his youth when he got sentenced to this so he still is gonna be learning at an alarming rate during these years that he's doing he he'll be talking totally different I say about another five years. Number three I say number three after that dime mark you be you be you be starting to tighten up he started early see me I didn't start early I was mad I was mad I didn't get my GED until like nine years in I was like 28 years old when I finally got a GED 28 years old come on man who 28 years old get you anyway so you read your first book too no that ain't where I could always read I was very very good at reading that wasn't where I said that's what I read in the penal system I read over a million books. I said you read your first book no no no it was not the no no no no no I did not read a first book at 28 years old and to get out of the score you said no no I never said nothing of the sort all right go ahead but he like but like I said with me I was just mad it took me 10 years to finally wake up after I got out of the smooth program in Lewisburg for those who don't know what that is a special management unit. You have to do something of a like a gang activity or something of a violent nature inside the penal system to get classified to one of these programs and it's a 24 month lockdown program. Now mind you this is the first lockdown program beef uh before you graduate to 80x forens underground and shit like that that's super max lock in now smooth is the first stop before you make it to that like you got to graduate. You know what I'm saying? So but smoo ain't no joke either that's 24 month lock in it's called breaking barriers it's a program that they got it's called breaking barriers when you're there you got you got to complete the program I got a certificate of breaking barriers. So when I finally got you got what huh says you got what again a certificate of breaking barriers oh the first book you read no no no no it's a certificate no no no no no no no no no no now no no no I'm telling you no so if I forget okay so now when when you're when when you're released from from that type of confinement two months three like ain't no we're not we're human beings we're not used to being confined in a little room all day long 24 23 and one some days days on in 24 or none so now when you're released from that you ever had your dog in the basement so long or caged up when you finally open that joint up it just be running for 10 minutes straight nonstop yeah ping ping ping ping humans is the same what so when I finally got out of my uh confinement lock in and I was out in population and I'm like I can move around I had a different type of tranquility cell award you do that now like when I come you can we come out to your apartment I'll be like yo you come you come clean my car out run up the street run up here yeah that that's come that that that's burnt up I don't know that's that's for that that that get this stuff gets embedded in you this is not something that this is what is called learn behavior bro this is years at the year like this thing go on every day bro it ain't like it happens one time a month or happens to no every day being put in this uh situation for years on end that really is is is traumatizing to the brain yeah because you could like I said I've been home there been home I'm I must carry certain traits of prison with me for the rest of my life for the rest of my life and like I said some things is a good thing because you're super aware like I be I'll be nervous in markets around a lot of people like that that's the thing I all I'm thinking about is on a wreck yard in a gym and niggas is quiet as shit with them knives and locks and socks so that's true you know you could get your head knocked off at any given second. So now when you're in society you gotta learn how to cope with underneath these type of uh you know extremes and stuff like I ain't gonna call them extremes but circumstances yeah so uh but back to the question Mooji uh Moji Mooji Moji he he he's learning and he still has a lot of learning to do and he's only seven years in on a 20 to 4 or 20 to 40 or 30 to 60. 20 to 40 yeah 20 to 40 man that's a you know for him it's gonna sound crazy me saying this it's good for him because he got it's not it's not never good don't get me wrong it's not saying it's good he got time no but since he had to get it it's good he got it at an early age he's only 27 years old he got seven years in on it he can possibly go home at the 20 year mark if he keeps his nose clean and as soon as he go up to the board they might be like all right yeah you you completed everything all right go it out you know I'm saying so that's what 13 more years left so 13 on top of 27 is what 40? Man he got his whole life ahead of him still he be damn near our age you know I mean I still feel good this trumpy still get hard they don't they don't they ain't you know what I mean I ain't got no problems erectile disorder problems yet you know I mean hopefully they still some years off of me I can still pleasure my woman I can still go chase the kids in the backyard you know we we we uh we live together man and um what happened we live we live together and I had a friend of mine man shout out to Chizzy man he's giving me like all types of like these uh you know uh type of uh yeah supplements that you be eating yeah and and I could come come to my room and they used to be going so I think that's when I wanted to have too much fun I took them when I wanted to have too much see when I when I when I be off with them I just have fun when I want to have too much fun the Puff Daddy fun yeah minus the other little duty whoa because Puff Daddy only locked up for having too much fun. I'm not even with the boys and all that but minus all that okay and I'm not knocking them who do that I just don't do that. Because I should come yeah because you know if it was something that I was happy with and real pleased with and desired or probably a first time drone and and then I come in and I make sure I go in your room I because I open that drone up there be so many of them in there I'm like dang he ain't gonna know none of these I ain't got to tell him I'm like then I'm not gonna know there's a whole the whole box missing the whole box I didn't get the whole box the whole the whole no no no you had everything you had a box of drones you had tablets like 600 tablets you had another 400 I'm looking at the drone like I thought I was in a sex shop. I'm like damn man I hope my man joined all that working right but you know we'll get back to that later on but yeah um yeah man yeah you know still in the still in man yeah so you know but I mean I like you said it's back to him in in which call you would be 40 get out you know you know when Charlotte's dad's still around he's still able to have you know you know I don't know how old O is OPI close to 50 or be about 70 so if you get out so it's like um you know hopefully they'll be able to re fix their uh situation before he does he comes home so we're gonna try to be an advocate for that and try to you know get that going I just don't like people not knocking nobody whatever they got going on I just I just think I don't want to say I don't like sin I just think that we need to push more positivity you know opposed to negativity because it's going is is everything is uh contagious positivity is contagious around the right people negativity is contagious around the right people laziness is contagious around the right people so pumping the narrative for because overall man like at the end of the day man believe me or not y'all man I don't know if y'all a lot of y'all believe actually that I have made the change I have really have done made the change in life and the changes to want better for myself and I'm talking about me and for me to want better for myself my meaning I gotta leave all the bullshit alone and when I say the bullshit out there with the guys and I'm not saying I knock the guys I love y'all I love all the guys and all that but if they're not on what I'm on I and what I'm on right now is positive and trying to do something right where I could be out here and sustain my family be with my family and my friends me doing that other shit man I'm jeopardizing my life either back in prison or jail. That's just it.

be able to be able to talk to your um your your father and and you know Charla Muji and uh oh get that and not not just them we just talk we just talk about you just said 750 inmates in prison they have father the inmates in there who might who who 30 and under who may not have it had a dad how many in there we say what half of that 750 yeah so that's what 375 people in jail that don't have a father it's way more than that we're just being modest yeah man and shout out to uh a battle tested trucker the donation appreciate that man but yeah like you gotta have you know no you gotta have um you know while I said you got you gotta stress the the importance of having your father not not degrading the mother because the mother is is is is is super vol you know you can't put a a a price tag or or you can't say enough about having a mother right but a a father just just isn't as important you know I'm saying a father just as important you know you you're gonna get you gonna get different things from from that you will get from your mother that you would won't get from your father.

SPEAKER_06

Like your mother going your father loves you but the the love is is different. It's the same but it it's equal but it's different. You know what I'm saying if it makes if it makes any sense. You know what I mean? So you know shout out to all the mothers and fathers out there who actually you know who love their kids are relevant. Are present present and and those who want to be present even if they can't be present um because we understand that a lot of times it can be an issue with you know the kid's mother don't want to let you see the kid or whatever the case may be or you got a beef with the kid whatever it is I think we all should just try to fix that because this is this this can be the reason why a lot of kids go to jail. Like we had Curry up here Curry and Newski and what did Curry say when he asked him about his dad he said my daddy my man my dad nut I don't know why he said that but we should have said we should have asked him why because maybe we could have helped him understand his father or whatever the case may be but we know now we we're learning too we we don't know it all we all see how now you like damn I should have nailed that could be because that ain't gonna be the first one to come up here and say that.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah you know what I'm saying so now we got now we can dig deeper not on duty.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah but we can kind of look into it a little look into the situation a little more oh that's how that's how it was supposed to be said okay yeah look into the situation a little more and that way we can kind of try to understand because we can't save any and every every relationship but by pushing positivity and trying to mend these relationships this helps stop the young boys from going to jail for those who want to listen because number thing too to the young boys out there and the young women out here who just want to do what they want to do and then you end up in then you end up in a bad situation when you could have just listened. Listen now before it's too late. You should start listening now because we all are one you know and at some point the Wuji is a is a uh is a is a father he has a daughter and he's gonna try to over the next 20 years until he gets out you know he's gonna try to talk to his daughter and be a father from inside the prison the prison cell or whatever the jail and what if his daughter says you went around you went to jail you wasn't this you wasn't that he's gonna have what's gonna be his excuse if he have any to say what can he say other than I messed up when I was young he's gonna try to give her advice so is his excuse more warranted than Oskino whatever Oskino's excuse was I don't I don't know we can't we gotta you gotta get to it because at the end of the day you don't know who you just gotta come to a common denominator. We all nobody's perfect man no you said oh oh says dad died in front of him he didn't really have have a long life with his dad like your dad right now if I call my Dad and tell him I got problems with my kids, whatever he be he can give me some advice. That's that's very important to be able to have somebody like your dad give you advice. I was going through something, man, just recently, and I don't want to talk about my dad all the time, but my dad is um is uh you know uh a positive part in my life, but I was going through something and my dad just kept I was going to something, he sat on the phone with me every uh all night. I told you, I think I told you before until I fell asleep and everything. So, you know, I really I really appreciate you know you know my father, man. And and we all gotta uh we all gotta have that mentality to appreciate you know our fathers and and and our mothers as well. You know what I mean? So uh also uh once again, y'all, um if you're able to uh become a member, uh if you if you're not a member, and um if you're able to just just subscribe, uh share the story, and don't forget uh to watch us on uh T B-I-S-C, uh, the sports show. Uh check us out. You can watch us there as well.

SPEAKER_08

And who we got coming up this week?

SPEAKER_06

On what? Oh, oh, oh, oh, today. Oh, yeah, this week we got this Thursday. We got tomorrow. Yeah, we got Barbie. St. Louis from St. Louis. She has a crazy story. You know, she got shot, you know, by our sister. She went to jail, and this so it's a crazy, crazy story. Don't forget to check that out. I think we released some some clips from the actual interview that's out right now. Um, yeah, she is it's a crazy, crazy story, so don't forget to don't forget to look into that. Um, yeah, man. Now, I'm gonna ask you a question too, like, because young girls, young girls go to jail too. Yes, they do. And they go to jail. We haven't had young girls in jail who spoke about this, but if we will. Oh, we will. They beef too. They beef with the mom, they beef with the with the dad.

SPEAKER_08

The girls beef more so with the moms than the sons do. Like, you you have a while, I was in a relationship when I first came home with my baby mother. And I used to watch, and I like giving y'all, and I'm not putting her out there, but she wouldn't be mad if she heard this. But because it's a fact. And for me to see, and you know, my I went to jail as a child. I went to jail 19, 20 years old. I ain't really had that much yeeks in my life, meaning, and when I say yeeks meaning cheeks, meaning relationships. So I went 19. I ain't really know too much about, you know, I knew but boy is supposed to be with girl, but you know, I have too much, I'm out there in the streets. So by me coming home and finally getting in a relationship at 41 years old, it was like shocking to me. It was real shocking. I had to learn things. I had to learn how to be around this woman. She had to learn me. It wasn't like I'm coming to her in this relationship and I've been in and out of relationships. I've been on the streets. So I seen things that shocked me, that blew my mind. You know, damn near fights with the mom and daughter, with her biological daughter, and I'm talking about ready to come to blues, like, shut up, B. Yeah, I mean, you don't, and I'm talking about this the daughter talking to the mom, and I'm standing there like, because I can't believe it. Like, the women, man, women is women, it shh, women deal with a lot of emotions, man, and they let that shit lash out at the wrong times. And I'm not saying all of y'all, I'm not making it this a woman thing, like I'm bashing women, no. When it comes to certain aspects, a lot of women, man, I see women disrespecting their moms, man. Like you'll see a woman fight her mom faster than you see a son fight his pop. Like a woman will go at their mom. They the daughters, especially in today's time.

SPEAKER_06

Well, you know, girl, girls and um uh, you know, their moms, they they beef just like you know, girls and and they and well, dads and their sons beef. Um why why is it that though? Why is it that way? Why the why do the girls beef with the mom? Why do the dads beef with the sons? Mm-mm.

SPEAKER_08

I think it was a lack of uh it was a lack, man. If I'm being honest, man, well, I was it don't mean it's honest, but I'm gonna have an honest when the girls and the mom, girls beef with their moms and dads beef with their sons, man, I don't think that the father put enough time with that son to make him realize, especially through youngness, because you gotta train this into a child that you don't disrespect me or you don't put your hands on me and shit like that. That shit, when that shit just pops out, it was because a lot of things was unchecked. A lot, and it went on far too long before it even got to this because he wasn't trying to fight you at five and six and seven. Because he knew certain things was in place, but as he got older or she got older, things wasn't being checked like how it was supposed to be checked, and that's why I even came today. Well, you got a son telling his dad, oh, you said, bitch, man, fuck out of here, this and that. Or a girl telling her mom, yeah, you whore. I was watching the journal the other day, mom, you a whore. You just went and sold some vagina for a sandwich. I'm like, damn, like how you talk to your mom like that. Like, that's come from unproper parenting. That's what I think anyway.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

And when I say unproper parenting, I'm not saying, oh, you would neglect them, you ain't feed them. Unproper parenting, uh, one aspect could be you're not around. Just because you're paying the bills and stuff like that, and you're going to work, but you still, the time is more needed that I'm seeing anyway, than money. What you tell me all the time, man. I don't go. I tell you, man, you tell me all the time, go get your son, man. Go get your son, man. Don't let don't let her be around. He got four sisters. He got four sisters. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_06

Go ahead, go ahead. I'm listening to you. He said he got four sisters. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, he got four sisters and a mom. That's five women that he's around constantly. Constantly. So, you know, what would you expect a boy growing up if he starts switching? He don't have no other male figure around and so no, you ain't supposed to do that.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, my nephew, man. I know. I see him seem switching through here, man, sometimes, man. I'll be like, man.

SPEAKER_08

Or when the last time you seen him switch, I ain't I ain't seen him up here. Yeah, no, I ain't you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Oh. No, I'm messing with my nephew. I love my nephew's bad guy best of all time. But um, at the end of the day, um, I want to speak of something something else because step steppops, you know, um I was a steppop for I'm still I still still consider considered my stepson, my son. Uh I got married to his mom when he was about nine years old. And um his father was incarcerated. And I, you know, ended up being around and raising him, you know, trying my best with him and tried to do everything I could with him. But I was young, I didn't really understand how to be a father, taking on a nine-year-old. I was I was a kid. And um I tried to raise him the best of my ability, providing a good place for him to live, paying for him to go to private schools when I was able to, you know, a lot of different things, you know. And then as he got older and became a teenager, he wanted to do things that he wanted to do and so forth and so on. And um, whatever the case may be, I feel like I made some mistakes there as well. Um, that I just recently apologized to him for because something I didn't, I didn't I didn't understand. And um sometimes as a step, as a as a step parent, you don't, it's not intentional, but the kid may be frustrated with their biological parent and may take their frustration out on you. You know, I mean my therapist kind of explained it to me, like, yeah, well, you dude, you gotta give him a pass because some of the frustration that he may have is not necessarily from something that you did. It's frustration that he got from trauma trauma is actually his real father not being around, or whatever the case may be, for whatever reason, his father. And I'm not saying his father did not want to be around, just that he he was in jail. So the circumstances he couldn't really really be a father. So my my uh my stepson, you know, he he had a son. You know what I mean? My you know, Yusuf. And that's like, you know, and I'm getting emotional about it because I I love this little boy. Like he's my like he's my actual grandson. He called me pop pop he whatever he if he needs me, I'm there for him a thousand percent. He lived with me from a baby, you know what I'm saying, and up until you know, he's still he's I think usuf is what 10? About to be 10 now, or he's 10 now, one of them, but he but he's I love him like he's my grandmother. Your biological grandma. Because I held him from a baby. I changed his diaper from a baby. I I I did everything for him, I tore him things, had him with me, you know, so many siphon, so many different things. He's been around me for so long. And um in the relationship that I got with him is like that's really my biological grandson. And I'm gonna I'm willing to do anything for him because I love him like he's my actually grandson. So he he is my grandson in my eyes, even though he has you know a real grandfather. But the kid loved me. You know what I'm saying? And I do anything for him, and he'd see me, he'd give me big hugs, and he come over to me. He's like, it's like it is not, it's not even like a question of who I am. He knows who who I am, and I got a lot of love for him. And um, I haven't seen him in a while. I gotta, you know, he lives, I think, I don't know if he's back in Philly, but I think he he lives in Egypt. But I got that I gotta try to get in contact with him. But yeah, that's that's you know, that's my uh, that's my G.

SPEAKER_08

Well, that this leads me to a question, right? What you just said. And I want to know, man, because I'm struggling it with it with it right now, but moving forward in my life, I think about me my decision on it. Um, do you think a man, a man can truly come into a woman's life, marry her in anything, and she have her own kids, and he be fully accepted by everybody other than her? I'm talking about everybody. You think you think it can work? I did that. It happened to me. Yeah, I don't think that can work, bro. I did it. It's just that, you know. The kid gonna always spend you. It's gonna be good when you're doing what he or she wants, but when you come in with the discipline, not discipline, but structure, it ain't my dad. But also, I've been married.

SPEAKER_06

I've been married to I've been married to other, I'm married to another woman. I was married to another woman that had a son. You know what I'm saying? A young son. And to this day, he loves me. I probably like, you know, he he loved me. Like, you know, I I feel like he generally generally generally loves loves me, even though me and her ain't together no more. Like the bond that me and him had, like, I'm talking about he's I'm I'm coming home, he's waiting for me to come. The same thing with my uh my other my stepson, when I had from nine, he's to wait for me to come home until we can go play football. I said go hang with him and his hang with him and his friends. We used to go out to the park, play baseball. I'm talking about I used to do everything with this kid when he was young, you know, even his as when he came with became a teenager, I used to hang with him and his friends and and talk, play ball with him and so forth and so on. And my uh my other, um, my ex-wife who had a son, um this kid loved me to death. Like was looking forward to me coming home and and being around him and so forth and so on. So you can you can have a positive effect on kids, but it has to be um the respect between you and the the woman. If the woman respects you and who you are, the kids gonna have no choice but to respect you and who you are. She disrespecting you, it's just my opinion. If she dispects you in front of the kid and is you can't really restart that. Yeah, but she gotta check it and not do it again. Oh, yeah, exactly. That's the only way. Because she can't just do it temporary when she feels like she wanna get she wanna prove a point to the kid, but you gotta be consistent in in those things. But you know, it's possible because there's some good stepdads out here, some good, it's some good women who raise their kids to respect men and respect themselves, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_08

So but it's more so uh me with me. And just because I'm saying this don't mean it's right. This is just my opinion, y'all. I don't see no future in that, bro. Yeah. Me, I have bad experiences already, man. Meet you trying to go into, you know, another, you know, whatever you want to call it, relationship or a situationship, whatever you want to call it. And the woman has kids, especially if they're younger kids that has to be monitored and raised. Now, if they all grown, then you know they let mom, well, they have the times they ain't even living there at the house. But you coming in two, three kids, and they eight, nine, ten. Yeah, man. None of them yours. Yeah, man. Everybody gonna be happy when you coming in with bags of food and bills play heat on and when it's cold outside, and you come in, everybody sneaks for school. Oh, I got like this. Everybody gonna be happy then. But when it comes to cleanup and yo, who got this tub dirty? Yeah, who left this door open? And all this refrigerated food. And now it's gonna be like this, nigga. Man, my mom getting on my dance. She, when she gonna get this Uncle Tom ass nigga. I'm telling you, bro. But I also I don't think it's good. Like, in order for me moving forward in my life to mess with a woman that, and it's still gonna be hard to have children, and I don't knock the woman that, I'm just saying me to get into a full-blown relationship. I only need one girl, I don't need two, three girls. You know, I I don't I mean I'm already messed up enough as it is. I'm talking about mentally, I can't, I can't, I ain't got a time to put up with two crazy drones, let alone one. But me, the only way I could do that is if like it's a baby she got, an infant that really don't know about pops and moms yet, don't really have the knowledge. And his father is like, or her father is either dead or locked up for life. But they I I just can't, that's just my opinion of it. Like, I got a bad taste with that, man. Going in with a relationship, but she got her own kids. And like I said, the kids will respect you as long as you're doing anything they like. Video games and taking sesame places. You, you, you, you, you, you pop, pop. Soon you ain't mind that as soon as it comes for structure now. So I was like, damn, man. Sometimes they do it. Especially when she stepped back and she letting you do your thing because the kids need it. Uh-huh. She's like, yo, you in it. She loves when you hollering and hooting and making sure shit cleaned up. She like, yeah, that's right, baby. Silently tearing you on. But it gotta be uh uh it ain't gotta be. I don't think it should be silent. It should be her chairing on should be uh verbal, should be right there. Like, yeah, you heard what he said. Like, come on, you get right there back in your play. Like when it, like when it's and she's sitting in women do that subconsciously by mistake. Because they don't think they're doing nothing wrong by sitting back and silently appalling, like, yeah, look at my man. And then they might, yeah, he cut it. You gotta be vocal too. They gotta, in order for it to work, they got to step up right with me because these really not my kids. I'm really in here telling somebody else's kids what to do, and they looking at mine because she really ain't been putting it down like that, or she may have a nail and then, but not like I'ma do it. A Sunday, we getting up at six o'clock in the morning, fudger. We cleaning lunchtime, tubs, toilets, garage, backyards, front yards, scrubbing trash cans. This is what I'm on. I'm institutionalized. I love the clean. So now, yeah, all that. I like my trash can smell like bleaching pine oil. Get me, you know what I'm saying? So my thing is when you bring us this type of structure into a house that ain't never had that structure. I was a villain, bro. Yeah, I was a villain, bro. Shout out to my baby, too. I'm waking up her her daughters down there, they they 20, 21, and they got their boyfriends down there laying on the couches. I had you help me out. But when I come home, she got a wash and dryer. The washer worked, the dryer don't work, it just be on. And you could turn it on, but it don't, you know how you dryer be spinning, spin your clothes. It's just on and it ain't moving or nothing. So it's just on. That shit ain't drying in there. You bought me a brush and was a dryer and washer for my family when I first came home. Remember that? Went right there and bought it for them. I said, Damn, bro, I need a wash and dryer for my crib. I look, you took me right to the applied store and got me a washer and dryer. Them kids now the son, the not the sons, but the the daughters' boyfriends, they getting up before me, putting their shit in the washer and all that. And I ain't with that shit, bro. You put it in the crib and everybody use it. No, not them, they don't live there. But you babe, that's their boyfriend. What are you talking about? Like, if you grown enough to fuck, y'all gonna fuck from underneath these, and you ain't paying them to do it washing clothes. No, but you and you don't live here. You over here with your chick, everybody sleeping on the couch. You did it. No, how did I do it? I'm paying bills in here. I'm yeah, I just bought a wash it and dry it in here, but I got damn right. I can do it. But they do it. I bought that in here. They gonna use it, bro. No, they they you they didn't. They did, they didn't. I got them right out of there, but in turn, the whole relationship got in there. Like, we gotta get this nigga out of here. But shout out to I ain't gonna draw and step out of the structure, man. I'm not gonna have my my wife's daughters in here. They got they boyfriends, they laid up as gun is blunt guts all on the table that need to be swept up and threw away, little pieces of roaches of weed, everybody sleep, feet stinking in it. Nah, man. Nah, as soon as you wake up, like, um, can you put that shit in the dryer? Why is your clothes in my washer? Ask you to put it in the dryer, yeah. You said, uh, I ain't with none of that shit, man. I'm I'm still saying I can't do it no more, y'all. And to the men out there, shout out to the ladies, man, the beautiful woman that's raising beautiful kids on their own. I respect it. But I cannot like we can have fun. We can have fun. But to be in a real like, because it's uh I I just cause I say it don't mean it's true. I don't think that relationship is going to work if she has kids with another man and these kids is eight and nine. You're not the father. You're gonna do something to make them mad one day. Yeah, because you gotta bring structure that makes kids mad. You know what I'm saying? Kids ain't they they they they they're not foreign to it, but they don't like it either. Yeah, the time they want to be playing the game, no, it's time to study. Then they looking at you like you're the enemy, but it's structure. So now if I ain't their biological father that's giving these instructions out, it's gonna be a whole bunch of back talking. You ain't my dad. How many times you heard that? You ain't my dad. I ain't got time for that shit, bro. Now you in there pleading with your woman, man. Why they kids, they just kids, and you looking at her like, are you serious? The relationship is just going crazy now, man. And like you said, once they me and her get in the argument, once they see it, they already on to. Oh, what's a go? Get him out of here. And they got my ass out of there. They kicked meat in the wash and dry out. Take all that shit with you. I'm out front hollering, calling you, come get me. Yeah, never again.

He when I say that, it meaning he wasn't you mean out there toting guns and selling dope, he just ain't had no direction. He didn't just want to be bummy and sit around and him and his girl just smoking weed and then getting all the roaches together and rolling the blunt with that because they ain't got no more weed. Dumb shit. Yeah, you know how they do. I did that. Everybody did that. You got about nine roaches in a weed jar, like damn, I ain't got no more weed. You gonna crack all them roaches open. And if y'all sitting here telling me that y'all ain't never see that, y'all awesome goddamn liars, family.

He like, man, I ain't got to go nowhere. Now, mind you, we got a front door, and then when you open the front door, it's a screen door, it's like a metal screen door. So that join is super sturdy.

Remember, I told you I came home. The the so the the the the the furniture was so mad at like it was so used. She probably had it about 14 years. The current first she had. Hold up, the furniture was like smashed down. No, not not, but just you know the wear and tear. That motherfucker looked like it was suede when it went, that motherfucker was bad. It was just submit, like just from asses, keep getting up in all them years of up and down and up and down. Dumb shit, not on duty. But but uh so we could we having like a little face-off, and he and he he was he was acting like he was ready to stand up to it. I'm in there early in the morning, shorts on, no draws. I'm in my crib. You know how you got with drawers all because you I'm I'm penitentiary, boy. I'm just home. I'm feeling good. I'm up early, you know what I'm saying? I come downstairs, I'm seeing this little melee in the living room, and we get to argue. So I'm so I opened the front door. It was him, it was him and the little the girl beefing? No, it was me and him. Okay, it was me and him. She was beefing with her mom, and he was saying something. I'm like, ho, and I jumped in it like it was like us on them there. Okay. And I and he was close to me. He was saying something, and I grabbed that nigga's face, bro. I grabbed that nigga whole face, bro. And we had the front door open. I told you it was a black metal screen door right there in the shut. And it was like one of them sturdy joints. Like, you gotta unlock this joint to get it open. Like when I say unlock, it means turn the knob. And I mugged this nigga so hard like mug, it was just a mug. Like, I had so much control and grip on this nigga's face, I could have just been walking around with him, like, and dictated his whole pace. This how firmly and my hand was around his motherfucking head. And I and I mugged him through the door. Uh-huh. But by the time he gathered himself, he was across the street. I'm on, I'm now I'm coming out the front door now. Like, yeah, what's up? He's on the other side of the street. Like, you gonna do that to me? And took off running. Yeah. And I'm like, the young lady. You was scared. A little bit. Because I'm like, damn, the fuck is he going? I'm going in there to her, like, where the fuck is he going? Why the where the fuck is he running to? You know what he's going. So listen. So so he ran off. What what what did what did the um his his babe mom say? You a nut ass nigga. Mom, get this nigga the fuck out of here. Yeah, get him out of here. He's a nut. Yeah, we don't want no jail. You washing dishes with bleach. Who do that?

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, she's going there.

SPEAKER_08

She's just letting out everything she ever felt. She talking about you keep sweeping five, six o'clock in the morning, take your goofy ass to work and all that shit. I'm like, yeah. Yeah, she's telling me I'm a boat jangling ass. All types of I'm like, yeah. Yeah, she told you that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

So all right, look, so he came back, right? That's what you you said. You came back. Yeah, you turned you turned into um, what you call um uh uh flow joe. Well, what you mean? When he came back? Yeah, you turned it.

SPEAKER_08

So he came back the next day, he apologized. Yeah, you turned the buttons you split a court, you turned it to flow joe. You was like, No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, no, no, he came, knocked on the door. I already knew he was coming back. Uh, cause me and the daughter done calmed down. The mom got us to talk over through the course of the rest of that day. And the next day, she like, yo, my boyfriend wanna know if he can howl. I said, I don't got no problem howling that young boy, man. He's a good little dude, they got a daughter.

SPEAKER_06

He's watching, he's watching this wait.

SPEAKER_08

He's goddamn right. So when I cracked the door, I'm looking out that fucking like, what's up? And he like, no, like, and I'm like, yo, what's up? Like, uh, like looking at like what you got, what you want? He like, no, he knew it. He was like, No, I'm cool. I stepped out and was like, Yeah, what's up? We could talk, we could do this all day long. I'm gonna knock him out. He ain't with none of that. Yeah, I just ain't with none of that. You know what I mean? So everybody got something they ain't with. But you know, pretty much it went good. But the moral of the story is that I don't want to put myself back in a position like that to go through that again. I'm getting too old, man. I ain't got no next time I might get mugged out the door across the street, and I would hate for that to happen. Now, I mean, I'm I'm I'm in my later years of life, man. I'm trying to chill, take care of the kids, man, that's trying to go to school and do the right thing, pay these bills, and me and my old lady take a couple trips. I ain't got time to be fighting nobody's sons and shit like that. Nah.

SPEAKER_06

Why is it that um whenever it's an altercation, people start saying all types of crazy stuff. They say what they really feel at that at that time. Why is that like a time to get everything off their chest? Why is it why is it that way though? What? Whenever something happens, like some altercation, as soon as something pop off, they people just got the clip loaded to say whatever they want to say, it's crazy.

SPEAKER_08

Because that's when it that's like drinking. Anger and drinking is the same thing to me, emotion-wise. When you drink it, you're gonna say whatever you always been harboring. But it would have never came out if you weren't drinking. Anger is the same way because you're in a trance. And and then before you know it, you'd be like, dang, I done said the shit I wasn't even supposed to say. You done told somebody else business. Yeah, you be out there arguing with a nigga, and then such and such, and then you'll bust out and be like, yeah, because she don't like you either.

SPEAKER_06

Sound out again, topic. The sound out is can y'all hear us? Can y'all hear us? I didn't go over that part. Okay, go ahead. All right, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Say what you say, y'all. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_08

All right, man. You said my sound good. Oh, uh uh uh. I said, yeah, but you be getting so mad that you or imp impament people that ain't got nothing to do with it. I'll be sitting here arguing with you in a state of rage, like, yeah, fuck you, fee, because don't nobody like you. And done, like, dang, why you be meaning it? Like, you know how that should be? That should be crazy. You done start getting personal for real. He letting you, I'm letting you know everything about everybody.

SPEAKER_07

Yo, why is it that way? Like, whatever. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_08

When liquor get involved or anger, you be like, you be sitting there like, damn, for real. Oh the truth come out, man. When the boobs come out.

SPEAKER_07

When the boobs come out, the truth comes out, man. They gonna be like, yo, nigga, I don't even like you. Like, I never liked you.

SPEAKER_08

And then when they sober up, I'm gonna go. It's to the point as though even though they tell you, they're telling you other people's business that ain't even got nothing to do with you. Like, you bob, you don't like them, do you? When you told me that, don't nobody like your ass. You just say it all type, you like, damn. Now John Bobbing them in the back, like, whoa, ho ho ho. Because they ain't get to that point with you here. Like, why you pitting me on them, bro? Nutshit.

SPEAKER_07

Yo, so so listen, after that, after that, was your relationship ever fixed with you and the girl after that? The uh the young girl?

SPEAKER_08

She was cordial with me through because of her mom, but it was a whole bunch of always shit get around her sister and be like, this is a nigga. It was always the jailhouse boy. They called me jailhouse boy, JB. JB? That's your name. Jailhouse boy. Like, they don't even call me my name like Jailhouse Bull Ray coming in, y'all. Like, do you know how to turn that to turn that down? Sweep that up. Kids don't like structure, bro. And then I came in there with that mentality. She told me who my my my grand. I seen my older, old, older, like family members, not family members, but foster parents and stuff, put a capsule of bleach in the dishwater. That's why I came up to. Like with the and and it gets the good, it get everything good. I rinse them out real good and all that. The bleach cups don't be smelling like no bleach and no. She's like, what type of jail house dumbass concoction is that? You in here washing dishes and bleach and vacuum cleaner at 4 o'clock in the morning and doing tubs. And I'm looking at it, like, are you serious? And then, like I said, what the sun did that time. I might have told you this story before. No, the sun never slapped me. Okay. But you know, I'm cleaning again on a Sunday. I'm cleaning, cleaning real good. I get up about 4:35 o'clock, start the cleaning. I'm cleaning the bathroom at this particular time. I got the shower curtain off. I done scrub the shower curtain down or the bathroom, the bathroom tub look like it's a re bought the tub today. That's how clean I got that shit. So I don't use a mop. I like getting old towels and cutting them up and putting them in pine ore and bleach water and get on my hands and knees. I think I clean the floor better like that. I hate using a, I hate a fucking mop. Me. And I'm not saying a mop is wrong. A lot of people use mops. Me, I'd rather get on my old back-in-the-day style. So I'm doing it. I got done the sink, I got done the toilet, I got done the shower and all that. I got everything outside the bathroom. The trash can, the plump, you know, you got a plunger on the side of the toilet, the little toilet scrub brush. Everything is outside the bathroom. You see this. Yeah. When you come into the bathroom, like, damn, this is signifying that maybe someone in here is cleaning this motherfucker. You see, the shower curtain is off. Yeah. The shower curtain, this just wasn't like this last night. So you see me, no shirt on, sweating, shorts, no drawers. This is the image I got in the morning. Yeah. I'm in there. He sees me. I'm on all four. I look back at him on all four. Yo, I'll do it, I'll do it. You know what I mean? He like, yo, I was trying to use the bathroom. I'm like, you try and use the bathroom. I'm like, all right, I leaves out. I sit on the steps. Because the steps going downstairs is right outside the bathroom. Uh-huh. So he he goes and shut the door. You know, it's about six o'clock now. I'm going wait right here while I can finish cleaning the bathroom. The floor, what? I was just doing the floor. Man, this motherfucker jumped in the shower. Jumped in the shower, bro. Why used it clean? Well, I'm sitting there outside the bed. He had to go to work though. No, he didn't. He jumped in the shower. The shower curtain is in the hallway over the balancer. Jumps in the shower. So I sit out there another 20 minutes now. I don't even sit. I'm burning up. But hold on, yeah. Yes. Showering. So when he comes out, damn, what's up? I thought you were. I'm like, bro, how you how you do that? I just was cleaning the bath. I said, bro, why you ain't wait till I get done? I said, I ain't even put the shower. It's a little soap ball scum scum on the floor, and then why just I'm like, bro, you just took a shower without no shower curtain, bro. Yeah. Like you knew I was just in here cleaning it. But that's the disrespect you get when you with a woman that got kids by other people. Like that's it. For me. Well they dad was. I mean, where they dad, did the dad ever come through the no his dad doing life in the penitentiary? Oh, they got different dads. Yeah, all of them got different one dad died in the car crash, the twins. The other dad, he beat women. He got he just got a 20 to 40 in all the day.

SPEAKER_07

I get it. I get it. This guy's crazy. Oh man. So listen, so you in the crib, just like, yeah, I mean, this is going through it.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, that was crazy. That was a that was real bad for me that time. Cause I went back to my wife at the time, was like, yo, yeah, I mean, this man 21 years old. This man saw me on my hands and knees. I looked back at him when he came to the bathroom. I was on the floor. And he was like, yo, can I use the bathroom? And I get up off the floor. You see me with my little mop water and all that. My little whack dipping my hand in the I pulls that out the bathroom. I've done half the floor. I've already done the toilet, the sink, and the tub. There's no shot. This man got in the shower and left me outside the bathroom for 20 minutes sitting on the steps, man. And came out wrapped up, like, all right. So I'm like, I go, I brought this to her. I'm like, yo. She's like, what's wrong with that? He had to use. I said, I was cleaning the bathroom. Let me know if I'm wrong, y'all. I'm in the middle, and they say this is a jailhouse trait that I have. I gotta learn to change. How? I think it's supposed to be carried the same way in jail, out of jail. I was cleaning. If I'm cleaning this room, I'm not gonna stop. Now you gotta use the bathroom. Yeah, that's why I stopped. You gotta piss or take a poop already. You go in there and take a full-fledged shit.

SPEAKER_06

But he walked in and hit his towel on his hand.

SPEAKER_08

No, it's all his shit already in the bathroom. You know, it's the family bathroom. You know, towels and every people got their rags hanging up to two and nine things or toothbrush holder. Everybody got their toothbrush. So it's the bathroom. We're in the house.

SPEAKER_07

Okay.

SPEAKER_08

So it's like, I'm cleaning the bathroom, bro. Let me get done cleaning, and then you can use it. Then not only that, you take a shower without a shower curtain, like you fuck with that nigga. You know, when you soaked up, it's balls of soap flying all off. It ain't the shower curtain is to protect it from getting on the floor and stuff. Yeah. So now I gotta do the shower over again, the floor over again. And everything is like, oh damn, all right, my fall on. So I go to my whiz. Yo, I'm yeah, I mean, I'm I'm in mid-cleaning the bathroom, man. Your son came to ask to use the bathroom. And I thought he had to take a pistol with code on him, though. Yeah, because I gotta tell her because this I'm I'm disrespected. Because what I'm gonna say, we and him get the rumbling back there. And he licensed the carry and all that. He probably did. I'd have took it. I'd have took it. He ain't built for combat like me. I'd took it. He a square, good kid. I ain't talking bad about him, but he ain't ready for shit like I am. He ain't never probably even fired that motherfucker yet. He just went and got one because I'd have took it if he'd have tried to give or upper at me or something like that. But I'm still cautious of him. He got one. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And I'm like, I'm talking to her, I'm like, yo, she like, you tripping, you overboard, you doing too much. Like, he all he did was just take a shower. I'm like, how the f how am I wrong? If you go do that to somebody in the pencil, like if I'm cleaning the cell. He died in the pinna border. But still, I'm cleaning. That's like if I'm cleaning the kitchen. You come while I'm in the midst of washing dishes and I'm doing, I got my got all the things off the stove. You know how you gotta scrub the stove damn good because grease and all that be popping up there. So I like to use a Brillo pad joint, get it nice and soapy. You say, yo, let me come cook this fried chicken real fast. No, nigga. Let me finish cleaning, then you cook. I'm in the middle of cleaning this up. How is that wrong, bro? How is uh like they talking about this some jailhouse shit? It's cut you is just bad timing. Well, the bad, well, guess what? I won't be in that type of timer ever again. I ain't doing it. I am right playing, wrong man.

You know, when you in jail, you know everything about your chick. She likes sitting out in front of the house. I'm like, I know you pulled up at like five. So I'm like, why you still sitting in the car? She like, man, I see everybody in my house. They all in there. I see them through the front window because she got a big front window. She like, they all in there, they must got the music. It's so crazy that you don't even want to go in your own house. You're talking about getting a hotel for the night. Your kids then ran you up where you pay the bills at. And not nay one of them motherfuckers in there paying nothing. Bro, I'm not from that cloth, bro. I can't do it, bro. Ain't nobody cleaning. This is what they call cleaning up. They're like, they're I'm gonna sweep up, I'm gonna sweep up. I come back in the crib an hour later. When I come back in, I see a pile of trash from somebody actually sweeping the sweeping up, Toffee. I go 10 more steps, is another pile. Everywhere I go is piles strategically all over the house. But why the fuck you ain't sweep them in this dustpan? You swept up and left it here. I left out, you was doing this at nine o'clock in the morning. I come back, it's four o'clock. All I see is eight piles all throughout the crib. It was nothing to put the dustpan right because I did it. I went and got the dustpan and went around and got all eight piles. I'm like, why are you even sweet? And then what kills me is this is when you know a motherfucker trifling. Because I'll get like this because we get to argue. Everybody in there walking around, no shoes on all day. When you in there, motherfucker, and the baby feet black, and then the grown-up's feet, that the daughter, her feet black, she walking upstairs arguing with me.

Um, I don't see a future with a man trying to marry a woman with kids. Like, you gotta take that woman with you. Like, take her to your crib, like you can move in with me and let the kids go ahead and do what they want over there. But then that's gonna be a toll because they ain't gonna be paying no bills.
