Hello and welcome to Dad Please, the podcast where our dad and daughter talk about the things we love and the things we definitely don't always agree on. From concerts and city adventures to books, movies, and our favorite foods, each episode is full of stories, laughter, and a little generational debate.
SPEAKER_00I'm Hamlin, the dad, and I'm Alex, the daughter. Together we're exploring our favorite places, sharing what we're reading and watching, trying new foods, and of course, telling more dad jokes that anyone actually asks for. So grab a snack, get comfortable, and join the conversation.
SPEAKER_01Welcome to Dad Please. Welcome to Dad Please. It's me, Alec.
SPEAKER_00And it's me, Dad.
SPEAKER_01And we are back. We are back just in time for a special holiday, Father's Day. So to start us off with our Father's Day Dad Please edition, we will be ranking the best sitcom dads. So now this is a ranking that is from different websites that I kind of created based off of what their number one, two, and threes were. But this is not in particular order. It's just going to be top 10 that I just gathered from all these websites. So first we have Philip Banks, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Carl Winslow, Family Matters, Danny Tanner, Full House, Julius, Everybody Hates Chris, Dre Johnson, Blackish, Dr. Jason Seaver, Growing Paint, Tim Taylor, Home Improvement, Al Bundy, Married with Children, Dan Connor, Roseanne, Phil Dumpy, Modern Family, and a couple extras that should be on this list. Floyd Henderson from Smart Guy, Ray Campbell, Sister Sister. And just because this person was on mostly all of the list, Homer Simpson from The Simpsons. So those were the top ranking amongst the websites that I found and collected this information from. Now, on the websites, they are all in different order, but these were the top names. So I thought that we could rank them, rank our top five, and see what we get from there. So a lot of these characters are from shows that I've mostly seen. I think dad's mostly seen most of the shows too. So um a lot of these are a mix of like older shows and kind of newer shows. So I think that from my top ranking, um, it was very hard for me to like put them in order. So I'm kind of like conflicted, but I did have Philip Banks at the top. I just absolutely love Philip Banks. Um, I love Fresh Prince of Bel Air and the old one more than the new one. Yeah, the old one with Bill Smith and stuff. So I do really like Philip Banks. Um, my second would be Ray Campbell. I love Sister Sister, and then I am a big fan of Modern Family, and I think Phil Dunfey was great. And then I do have Danny Tanner from Full House and Carl Winslow from Family Matters on my top five ranking lists.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so my list is gonna be a little bit different. I'm gonna go wanna reach back a little bit. Um, Alex doesn't know who uh who I was choosing. So I grew up in a time where it was different. So, like I've seen a lot of more shows than Alex has. So my number one is James Evans from Good Times. He was such an amazing father. Um, everybody could get it. Nobody, those kids were like in line when he was around. Um he cared about his kids. He, you know, he was in the an inner city, but he still made sure they were raised right. And he, anybody, any, anybody who was at that house acting up could get it. So he would be my number one. I love James Evans. Um my number two would be Uncle Phil, taking in somebody's kid and raising his own children and helping Will to be a better man. So um I love Uncle Phil. I love the dynamic. One of my favorite show like episodes ever, TV ever is when he was like, Why doesn't he love me? You know, I I love, I love, love that. It was one of the best episodes I've ever seen on two. That's when you knew Will Smith could act on that, on that, on that episode. And then my third one would be Alex is gonna laugh, but um, Lucas McCain from Rifle Man. I think that he he had a son. He was in a wild west, he's raising a son. He mark is very respectful. He didn't have a wife, he was a widower, and he took really good care of Mark and made him, you know, make good decisions. So I love I love that portrayal that they had. And then my fourth would be Andy Taylor from the Andy Griffin show. I love him and Ron Howard's um, you know, Opie, as they called him on the show. He was really good. He, you know, full-time parent, um a sheriff of a town, and still found a way to raise his son and to give him the things that he needed, and he was just a really, really good dad, I felt like. And my fifth one I was going back and forth, um, I picked Danny Tanner. I think that Danny was just so good for his girls, and he was a good brother-in-law, a good friend of Joey, and he just kind of kept the whole family together. So that would be my top five list.
SPEAKER_01No, guys, what your top sitcom dad favorites are. Um, but I just think that a lot of times um we always, you know, portray moms and sitcoms more, but I think that dad should get some good credit too in these sitcoms, and there's a lot of good dads and of and these TV shows that are shown as well.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, there's a lot, like you said, I there was other good people. I thought that um Al Bundy is a good dad. He's a better dad than what people give him credit for. He loved his kids, he stayed, his kids were in trouble. I thought about the episode when Kelly's boyfriend cheated on him and he beat her up, beat him up, and like he loved his kids, and you know, that's the I think the biggest thing. And Junior's from Everybody Hates Chris. He was the man, so yeah, he was a hard worker.
SPEAKER_01He really worked hard for that family. I will give it to him. He he worked hard for that family, so there's a lot of good TV portrayal of fathers out there, and um, getting into that, we did have a week apart, dad and I.
SPEAKER_00So she abandoned me, but okay.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, well, I went on a fun trip to the city.
SPEAKER_00I was trauma bonding by myself because she abandoned me.
SPEAKER_01He was here with track, but I did come back from a really fun trip with my mom and brother. Um, we went to Seattle and Vancouver. There is a lot of videos that we did post on her page about that, so go check that out on her Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
SPEAKER_00She was most excited about being able to go and do some Twilight things.
SPEAKER_01So big highlight of this trip for me was definitely going to Forks, Washington. I read all the Twilight books before I went. I read all four because I was like, I have to experience this, you know, firsthand. I haven't read the Twilight books since middle school. Like I haven't done a reread. So it was really fun to reread the books, and I forget how much I really love Twilight. And I, of course, went to TikTok to look up all the fun things you're supposed to do. So I went to Forks, and Forks, Washington is basically the setting of where Twilight has taken place. So it's a very small town in the outskirts of Washington. It's about like an hour and a half from Port Angels. And I got to go explore the town. I got to see cool things like where Bellis Swan lives. We got to see the Forks High School, and it is a real high school, so you cannot go in. You can only take pictures on the outside. And we did get to see like Bellish truck, and they have a lot of cool stores, and they have a museum that you can walk into and see all of the like Twilight costumes, so it was really fun. And then, of course, 15 minutes from there was La Push Beach. Now, if you guys know about La Push, it is the werewolf zone. I think dad's seen the movies, but never wrote the books.
SPEAKER_00Here we go with me not reading the book. Y'all weren't just judging me.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but it was really fun, and the beach was beautiful. And like I said, I posted pictures. We even got to stop and do a um eat at Bella Italia, which was the restaurant where Bella and Edward ate in Port Angels on like their first unofficial official date. So I did get the mushroom ravioli, Bella's ravioli there, and it was really fun. We also went to Seattle and we saw Pike's Marketplace and you know all the food eatery and stuff. But from there, we did also go to Vancouver, which I told dad surprisingly the most exciting thing to me. Vancouver is beautiful. It is very gorgeous, very gorgeous nature, very good food. But I really was hyped about the Starbucks, guys. And I know we have a Starbucks in America, but I really like the Starbucks because they had bagel bites with cream cheese in them.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, she wants to let them bring that to America. She talked about that a lot every time I talked to her.
SPEAKER_01And I think they need to. And I got it like every day, the bagels with cream cheese inside of them because I just thought it was the best thing ever. And I'm a bagel girl to my core. I love Einstein bagels. I love any bagel shop you throw at me. So I just thought it was a really cool invention.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, we we need more Einstein bagels out here. We had one and they closed it down, and we have to go all the way to like the medical center to get a Einstein bagel.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and I just love Einstein's. And there was also an Einstein's at the airport, so I definitely got Einstein's there.
SPEAKER_00Um go check out the pictures. Um, she had put beautiful videos up. It's really, it was really, really nice. Um, I wasn't jealous, you know, I got to spend time with Mikey, but it was it was really, really pretty, and it was a really beautiful scene that she had up. So go to our TikTok and our um Instagram and you can our even our Facebook and you can see the pictures.
SPEAKER_01It was very exciting, and I did, of course, come back right in time, right on time for dad's birthday. And he did get a really cool gift while he was he was out there in the heat for trap with Micah. He did get a cool gift, so I'll let him tell you what he did get for his birthday.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so we um I I'm I'm very expensive in the month of June. It's my birthday, and like two weeks later, it's Father's Day. Alex got me um tickets to see Mary J. Blige in Las Vegas. This will be our third time seeing her. But I've been telling her like I would like to go see her in her residency, so we're gonna go get to see Mary J. Blige. She took telling me, Don't you buy anything. Don't you buy anything because I was gonna buy tickets to go see T.I. Yeah. And and but she was like, she's like, Don't buy anything because you don't know when we're going, you don't know what we're doing, you don't know what we're gonna do. So um she she told me that I also got a lot of um PlayStation gift cards. You guys know I love to play video games. I got some Amazon gift cards as well. My um my wife got me in um a skylight calendar, which I've been wanting for a long time because honestly, I have too many things in my brain. I have to put everything on the calendar. And so it's a really, really it's really nice. It was a it was a good day. I don't, you know, you try to figure out things, everybody kept asking me, What do you want? And I'm I'm blessed. I can say there's not a lot that I want.
SPEAKER_01It is so hard to shop for because he drops hints but barely drops hints. And so it's like you really have to like, it's like pulling teeth, I guess is a saying. Like tug it out of him what he really wants. But I do know he loves Vegas, and I was like, I know he loves he kept mentioning Mary J. Blige, and I was like, hmm. But he also kept mentioning T.I. but they're the same day, so it would be pretty hard. But he's like, it's literally like pulling teeth. The only other thing he kept saying was like a laptop, and I'm like, oh my god.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I don't, I mean, I don't really want for much, like as long as my family's happy, that's not just cliche for me. I'm very happy to see them, you know, excelling and doing well. I'm a homebody.
SPEAKER_01Um we go through I know we can-I like gifts, and I will tell you what I want, exactly what I want.
SPEAKER_00All the time it's hard to buy her gifts. Ever since she started working, she just buys things. So for me to get her presents, that's why we buy concert tickets because those are things she doesn't know half the time when people are coming into town. She tells me she likes somebody, I put that in my memory box and I'll I'll post and I'll become fans of their page, and then I'll get an email that says, Oh, they're coming to town, or they're about to tour. Like, there's somebody touring that I wanted to see, but they're not coming to Houston, and I can't remember who that is, but they were not coming to Houston. I was looking at the Dixie Chicks tickets. I wanted to get some Dixie Chick tickets because I wanted to go see them. Um, they sang one of my favorite country songs, Cowboys Take Me Away. Cowboy Take Me Away. That one. I love the song. So, and they have other songs, Earl, about Earl. I like, I love, I love them, but um, I was trying to figure that out and trying to figure out what we would do for that trip. But we have so many concerts, so you know, that's really hard to get Alex though.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so I think it was nice to get him something, especially because, like I said, he was out there in the heat with my little cousin for track, and I just also qualified superstar. Shout out to Micah.
SPEAKER_00Micah, the 400 meter queen.
SPEAKER_01Yes, she did qualify, so we're very excited to see her compete coming up soon. So wish her luck. You guys already know her page, so go ahead and wish her luck on there. We are excited to see her run, and it's been hard work, I will say, for all parties involved.
SPEAKER_00Micah's gifted athletically. She everything she does athletic-wise, she does a really, really great job of. She's very gifted athletic-wise. So she doesn't always like to do the stuff. She just wants to run 100, she wants to do the easy stuff, but you know.
SPEAKER_01Yes, she has a gift, and she is probably the most athletic, I could tell you, out of her siblings, but she is really good, and we are so proud of her.
SPEAKER_00Well, we have to see because Alex, big gal, and and and and Ty Kai were killing them on that race. They were running.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they did the little um toddler, the munchkin race and they ran a 50-meter dash.
SPEAKER_00So they killed it.
SPEAKER_01They killed it. So maybe they will follow in her footsteps.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, Maddie's more of a Maddie's a dancer. Maddie's a performer. She likes to do it. Yeah, Maddie's a dancer.
SPEAKER_01Things like that, so she is a dancer, so we have to um see what the little two are gonna do.
SPEAKER_00But yeah, Alex says he's very interested in tracks, so we'll see what transpires with that. But he um it was it was a good time. It was just me and Micah, so she enjoyed the me and her time. It was just by itself because her sister was on a cruise.
SPEAKER_01Her favorite person in the world is her uncle.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, my sister was on a cruise and Alex was gone, so it was just her and I, and it was, I mean, we had a good time. It's hard to do anything with her. She doesn't eat, she's very picky about her food.
SPEAKER_01Yes, but she had a fun time, so we're looking forward to it. Um, but before we well, before I left, I should say, we did see a really, really good person who I really like. Dad kinda knows the hits, kinda doesn't. Um, we did go see Alex Warren. So for our vinyl records spotlight, we do have his album, You'll be alright kid. Um, so for this album, for many of you guys who don't know, um, Alex Warren, his dad died when he was nine years old of kidney cancer, and then his mother did die in um 2021 of liver and renal failure. So yeah, so he did write this album to discover who he was and basically who he will become based on the things he has experienced and all of that. Um, a couple songs on the album include Eternity, Burning Down, Save You a Seat, Bloodline, Ordinary, Heaven Without You, and there's like 21 songs on this album. So it's a very long album.
SPEAKER_00He said that in a concert too, that it was long.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's a long album. But um, from the album, my favorite song is Heaven Without You. Um, and then Dad's favorite song is Ordinary, of course, the most.
SPEAKER_00But I like the song, and I like the why I like why it's popular.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's about his wife. So it was very cute. He does write a lot of music, he said, about his parents.
SPEAKER_00Is he the parents or his wife is what he said?
SPEAKER_01So she does um he does write a lot of music, but it was a very exciting concert, and I will tell you one of my favorite, favorite things about the concert, because dad is the MVP, as we all know, is that we got floor seats, and that was actually my very first time sitting on the floor, which I was very excited, and it was totally worth it because of essentially. I know I'm jumping ahead, but he did have two stages, so we'll we'll get into that a little later. But he did have two stages, so it was a really good seat, and I just would like to thank Dad because that was so exciting, and I've never sat on the floor, so it was very fun, and I really loved it.
SPEAKER_00So Alex And I even got to see my boss. She was there, she took her door. He got to see his own.
SPEAKER_01So it was a fun concert, and it was um May 27th at the Toyota Center, and this time and the merch line, I did not get a shirt, I actually got his vinyl record album, so which was very exciting because I don't have an album of his and I was excited to get that one. So that's the one we're spotlighting, but it was very exciting. So his openers for that show um were Nat and Alex Wolf. They actually are a group of brothers, and they were, I don't know if many of you remember, but Nickelodeon, the Naked Brothers band that went on from 2007 to 2009. So they actually were the brothers on that show, and they opened for Alex Warren, which is pretty cool to see them, you know, because you know you watch them when you're younger, and that was one of the shows I kind of watched here and there. So then you get to see them.
SPEAKER_00You even had the DVD, you had one of the DVDs.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so you see them on stage. Now, I will be completely honest, I have never listened to one of their songs. I did not know they were still making music, so it was very shocking to see them on stage. It's really cool though that they're still performing. I think that's really nice that you know they're still together after, of course, they're brothers, but that they're performing together. I thought that was really cool. And they had a lot of energy, I will say, on the stage. So that was pretty cool. And they did come out at like 7:45.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they I mean the concert was really ran um pretty well. And you know, like back to like you know, the floor seats. I felt like Alex Warren concert was the perfect time to get the floor seats. Um, because like certain concerts, like you people are standing and going crazy, but it's really like a lot of.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, because his music's a lot slower. Um, it's not super upbeat. He does have a couple upbeat songs, yeah, but it is slower, and so it was like mostly sitting down. You know, it's like a sitting down and chill kind of concert. But I did like one thing I did like about his concert was that he did a lot of like home videos, yeah. Yeah. In the background of his um set. So I thought that was really, really cool that he did that. And it was really cute to see because you know, like to lose both your parents um is pretty hard, you know. So to be able to express yourself through that in music is really cool. And he did a lot of his popular songs and a lot of his, you know, not popular, well, they're all pretty good, but um, and he was very entertaining. Um, like he would talk to the crowd, he was very energetic, his band was really good.
SPEAKER_00He had a girl from Houston there. So people were going crazy. She brought her whole family pretty much there.
SPEAKER_01Her whole family, and it was cool. And another thing I liked too was that he did um his guitars, he would switch them, and his wife actually hand painted his guitars that he had. So it was pretty cool to see that. And there was like a video of her doing that too in one of the sets.
SPEAKER_00They have videos of him and his parents, and he has a nasty mouth. He and he admitted that. Yeah, he said that he he he told the kid, Don't say what he's saying.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, he does, and so he um had a second stage, and the second stage was right by us.
SPEAKER_00So that's part of the reason why I picked the ticket that I picked because I was looking at the stage.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they were right by us. So he was singing like right there. I even got to touch his hand as he left. Like he was literally right there, and he sang, which became a really popular hit, a fine place to die. I love that song.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, Alex is excited about that.
SPEAKER_01So he did sing that, and I love Heaven Without You. He sang that on the second stage, which I was happy about. And then um, he was also talking about how which was really cool because he did mention Book Talk. So I don't know if you guys are fan, fans of Fourth Wing. I mean, I know I'm a huge fan of Fourth Wing, and I love that book series. I'm still waiting for that book to come out, and I'm so excited for the next one. But he did mention that because his wife's a big fan. So he was mentioning how you know book talk really like helped his music.
SPEAKER_00It blew it up, he said it blew it up. He said it blew it up, it blew it up.
SPEAKER_01And it's just crazy the things that TikTok and social media can do for your music too. So he did that as well, and it was really cool because he then went back to the other stage. So he did sing like several songs on the second stage, which was nice, and then um on the first stage that he went back to, it was cool because he did actually ask a person to come up and the finale and do like a confetti like thing, like with a party.
SPEAKER_00Shout out to the baby with the baby that did it. The baby, but the baby would sleep.
SPEAKER_01The baby was knocked out. The baby did have headphones on, guys, so she did a good job. But the baby was knocked out, and she shot that cannon, and then it was like, so that was pretty cool. And he's still touring right now, so maybe we have a chance to go film, go film.
SPEAKER_00He was really good. He has his voice is very good. He sounds just like he does on um on his album. He sounds just the same way. His voice is very good. And I I like I like people who interact, like he's probably been the one of the most interactive people next to Justin Timberlake, was one of the most interactive acts that we've been to. He talks to you and talks to signs. I I like when people do that. And Alex Worm was pretty, was pretty interactive with the fans.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, he interacted a lot and he talked a lot, and he would say like he would make jokes and he would say things like, you know, about his parents, and he would make jokes about that, which I mean he can. I mean they're his parents, but he was very talkative throughout the entire time. And he was a really good performer. So I would highly recommend going to see him if you like his music. Like I said, his music, if you know it's on the slower side. He does have a couple songs, like you know, that's kind of hyped up, like his bloodline song or his burning down song. Fever Dream's pretty hyped up there too, you know. But I love his music and I thought he put on an amazing show, and I think he's doing a great job. So go check him out.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, his concert was really good. I will say that um I enjoyed him. Like I only knew like the popular songs, like Alex did, but I knew Alex wanted to see him. And I think that the somebody from TikTok who blew up and now is at the Toyota Center. That's a big deal because everybody doesn't go to the Toyota Center, and I thought that he did really well for himself.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, he did. Um, it was a good performance. But oh, we cannot forget before we move on. We did get our dip and dots too. There was dip and dots. So we did get our dip and dots and we enjoyed it before the concert while we're watching the show. And also a little tidbit about being on the floor, they do have their own section as well. So they have their own bar and they have their own bathroom area. So it's not like you're climbing up and down the stairs. So that was also pretty cool. They have their own section to go to. And also with his band, like I said before, like how we set the girls from Houston, they were really good. They were very energetic. They were, I mean, he was able to fit his whole band on the second stage. So I thought that was really cool. And his band, they just seemed like they really love being up there with him. So it was really cool. It's always good to shout out the band, and his band did such a great job, and so did the sing the background singers and everything. So it was a good performance. But before we went to the concert, we did go have a bite to eat and we actually went close by. Um, we have talked about it before, but we did actually get to sit and eat at Trollburgers. So we went to Trollburgers um near Missouri City and we got the dad finally got to taste the desert pear lemonade.
SPEAKER_00It was amazing. It was amazing.
SPEAKER_01Yes, that he wanted to taste. He got to taste that, and then we had the burgers. I mean, at Trollburger, there's not a lot on the menu. It's just, you know, the simple burgers, which they're not simple at all because they are really good.
SPEAKER_00Okay, let me say this. Alex knows this. I don't know until you people when I get hamburgers, I want nothing on it but meat, cheese, and mayonnaise. I'm very boring. But um, I actually got the trill burger sauce, which is really good with onions. The onions are really good. I'm I'm not a big fan of the pickles, but the onions are good. So for me to be eating that and saying that it has to be, you know, good.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I didn't get the onions, but I'm not the biggest fan of onions.
SPEAKER_00You got pickles, I got onions.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I love pickles on my burger. I just love pickles in general, but it was really good. So he's doing a really good job, Mr. Bunby. He's doing great with his burgers and highly recommend getting a burger because our trying them out. I know I think at different locations they have different stuff, but I'm not too sure. But they also have cute little merch there, so you can get like shirts and hats and stuff while you're eating if you want. So and it was really it's not too big inside, it was pretty small, and then they have like really cool people, really good, um, so it was really good. So we did eat that before, which of course, with me, we were going back and forth on what we wanted to eat.
SPEAKER_00Of course, everything that I gave her, she always can tell me what she don't want. Don't tell me what she won't.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I'm very picky, but it was good. It was so good. So I'm glad we did decide to go there because I had been craving a burger for a while.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, we were going like it we wanted to go to um a mom and pop's place, but we couldn't because of um they were closed on the day that we were trying to go, so yeah.
SPEAKER_01So we just I mean, we hadn't we had Eden Trol burgers, but we haven't eaten their like sit-downs. It's like, well, I've been craving a burger, so let's just go. But it was good. Um but for our it is now, of course, daughter's basket, dad's choice, I believe. That's what we're calling it now. We always get our little name.
SPEAKER_00We call it something different things.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, we call it a lot, which essentially is our chop segment. Now, uh a little intro to our chop segment is we have Alex isn't a bad girl laughing right now because she forgot to give me that chop stuff today. Okay, guys. Um so usually, so for our chop segment, usually we do it kind of like the show. So essentially I give dad four ingredients and then he creates a meal out of it. And dad usually cheats because he can't come up with it at the top of his head because it's just it's too much. But for today, because it's Father's Day, we're gonna do something special, aka Alex forgot to give dad the ingredients. So dad does kind of have to come up with something at the top of his head, and the ingredients that dad is getting is basically his favorite foods. So I made a combination of four ingredients that are his favorite foods for the Father's Day special. So the four basket ingredients include chicken, yams, greens, and cornbread. And it's the challenges to create dad's favorite meal, which is kind of ironic because it's his day and he has to create a meal. But and I did forget to give him his stuff, which I do apologize for that.
SPEAKER_00So But it's okay because these are things that I can work with. Because so we're not doing anything special. We're gonna, we're gonna name them certain things, but you know, because you know I like to have my um, I like to have my my stuff. So we're gonna call this the burn it down the kitchen chicken plate by Alex Warren. We're gonna get some chicken thighs. Gonna fry some chicken thighs. Love chicken thighs. You, you know, season them right and everything. I'm just going off the like off the top. Luckily, I can cook them. We're gonna make some candy games. We're gonna put some in a pot. We're not gonna make, we're gonna cut them up and chop them up and put them in there and make them some and make them sweet. And we'll call those um um, we'll call those just the candy ones. Then we're gonna just make greens, make some greens. Alex is dying up here because she forgot. We're gonna make some greens and we're gonna make some cornbread. It's just gonna be basically a Sunday dinner. You know, we're gonna make it some cornbread, some honey butter cornbread, and it's just gonna be, it's gonna be Sunday dinner, you know, and so we're gonna call it um burning down. If it turns out good, we'll call it ordinary, you know.
SPEAKER_01So I feel so bad. But what's life without a little spontaneous?
SPEAKER_00I mean, it's fine. There's these things I can I can work with. So y'all will see me if I'll fry some chicken thighs, and then that'll do that's really good. We'll we'll fry some chicken thighs. It's just gonna be a Sunday dinner, a good old-fashioned Sunday dinner that we'll create and that we'll cook and we'll make it, and it'll be good, and we'll eat it for Alex is like laughing so hard. She's like, Did I give you the stuff? No, you didn't give it to me.
SPEAKER_01I totally forgot to give him the stuff.
SPEAKER_00I just looked at it right now. It's like, oh my god, we're almost at the section, and I was like, I don't know what we're cooking, so let me try to figure out something.
SPEAKER_01I totally forgot. It just like slipped my mind. But now you guys know that he can come up with something at the top of his head. Granted, it's ingredients he uses a lot instead of like the random ones I give him. So that did probably help.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, this is gonna be a whole meal, so this will be like a chop segment, like we're doing a Thanksgiving, but instead of that, it'll be a Father's Day.
SPEAKER_01It'll be a Father's Day special.
SPEAKER_00But we'll make some. I love frying chicken, so we'll fry some chicken thighs, and they're they're really good. Chicken thighs are good. I would say we could fry some chicken wings, or you can even have fry it, but I'm gonna fry it. I'm gonna fry it.
SPEAKER_01It's his day. He can do what he wants with it. Considering I did forget. Oh my gosh, I feel so bad. But I am excited to try that meal, and we will definitely be posting that and go look at our YouTube page because we do have our um videos up from our previous basket, and we would like your support in watching us cook. So go watch those, give us a like. But continuing our theme of Father's Day, I wanted to make this section all about dad because you know Father's Day is very important to me because dad is a very special man in my life. Without him, I wouldn't be here, but I would I don't know what I would do without him. I love it. And he's one of my favorite people in this entire universe. And he's just the person I can depend on. He's the person that I love and care about so much. And whenever I need him, he is always there. So I just want to take this section to just highlight the things that dad does and he shows so much consideration for his family. He is the oldest sibling and he takes care of us all in his own way, you know, whether that be financially, spiritually, emotionally, definitely for me, I will say, because I'm an emotional mess. Um, but he just cares for us. And, you know, it's so special that his birthday and father's day fall in the same month because, you know, this is dad's month, and I think he deserves more than a day. Um, he deserves more than a month. And so I wanted to just highlight him and just ask him questions, which I know most of these, and then we'll play a game at the end about who really knows dad. Let's see, aka does Alex really know dad?
SPEAKER_00So I hope so. You've been around me for 25 years.
SPEAKER_01I've been around him my whole life. So I better know his stuff. And so, yeah, so this is dad. A couple quick questions to ask him. So we're gonna do rapid fire questions. So really fast. Um, so football or basketball, football, movies or TV shows, TV shows. Okay, Harry Potter or Avatar the Last Airbender, quick fire.
SPEAKER_00Harry Potter.
SPEAKER_01Okay, that's the only right answer, guys. Um, and then Black Panther or Static Shock.
SPEAKER_00Static Shock.
SPEAKER_01Okay, that one was hard. That was hard because I love both. I do love both.
SPEAKER_00I grew up on static shock before. I mean, Black Panther was out, but I actually thought when I grew up on it, but Static Shock was he kind of blew up and I watched that so much.
SPEAKER_01So Yeah, I do love I actually recently watched all of Static Shock and it was really, really good.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, well written. They did a great job on that.
SPEAKER_01Yep, so for some more, I guess, serious questions. Um, so first one, it's going to be what was going through your mind when you first became a father, aka to me, the best thing that ever happened to you in your whole entire life.
SPEAKER_00I thought that God must have been going crazy to entrust me with somebody. Because who was I to be somebody's parent? And um, and I just looked at the first time I looked at her, I said, I am responsible for a whole person. If I don't feed her, she doesn't eat. If I don't clothe her, she doesn't, she's not gonna be dressed. And I have to be responsible for a life. And I just was like, This is crazy. You, you're, you know, you're young, you're you know, trying to figure out life, and you have a whole responsibility. And I just was like, This is the cutest little girl I have ever seen in my life. And I was just, it's a picture of me just smiling. I was just so happy. My my entire life, all I've ever, as long as I can remember, all I've ever wanted to do, I know I wanted to be married, I wanted to be somebody's husband, and I wanted to be somebody's dad. And so um, to have um Alexandra was like the you know, was just like one of the best things that's ever happened to me. And I was very excited to be her dad. And I just remember her screaming and hollering, and I remember that the nurse put her under some water and washed her hair, and she just stopped crying. The nurse said, Oh, you have a beauty shop baby, she's gonna be very expensive. And she did not lie, she is an expensive, expensive, expensive child.
SPEAKER_01So I am, guys, I am. But what what what would he do without me? He would his life would be so boring, but that was so sweet. That makes me want to cry now. Okay, so next question: what has been your proudest dad moment?
SPEAKER_00I think um there's a lot. I can say there's a lot. Um, I m I love the way that you love uh your family and how you see about them. Um it's little things. It's like Micah running track and um Alex was the one who who wanted her to do it, and so she paid for it. She didn't make her aunt pay for it, and it was something that she wanted to do. She shows up for all the kids' things that makes me very proud that she's a good human being. Like in all the school stuff, all the track things that she's done, everything that she's done in her life has always made me proud. Everything that she does makes me proud. And but the biggest thing that makes me proud is just the way she, the person that she is. She's um become a really, really great woman. She was a great child and she's become a great woman who um I admire because I see the way that she loves her her little brother, the way she loves her cousins, the way she loves me, her, her, her mother, her grandparents, you know, and everybody. And she just she has a really good heart. And to me, knowing that her mother and I created a good human being who's giving to society and doesn't give us any trouble. I'm very thankful for her. The Lord has blessed us tremendously to with her, and um, I'm thankful that the Lord allowed us to um be her parents. So that was one of the her it's just so many things, but just the good person that she is that you are is uh what makes me really happy.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I'm gonna be crying the whole time, guys. That's very sweet. Um, another question. So my grandfather, my father's dad, passed away a little bit after I was like maybe one or two years old. He passed away. And then, of course, we also have another father figure from my father, which was my pop, my great grandfather. And he passed away um several years ago. Um, so I would just like to ask what lessons have you learned from your father and then your grandfather as well? Because I do know that they were very strong male figures, well, especially pop in your life.
SPEAKER_00So So um my dad wasn't always the best. But the thing that I'll say about my dad is that my dad loved me and my sister. Um, there's never a doubt about that in my mind. Like he had some issues, but um, he loved us. And um, one of the things that I remember the most is um dad would be out there doing stuff that he wasn't supposed to. And but whenever I wanted to see him as a kid, he was always there. And he was like, he was my superman. My dad was so he was so gifted athletically. My dad won four championships in Germany because my grandfather was in the military for basketball, football, and track four years in a row. Um, and ended up going to Gramlin um um and playing football, but he didn't last there. But my dad was just he was an amazing, amazing man who um who he loved us. He didn't, you know, he couldn't always do the things that he needed to do, but he always, you know, loved us. But the thing I remember the most was I was having a rough time in seventh grade. I was a dork guy in school. I'm I was still a dork, but I was a dork in school.
SPEAKER_01He's a square, as we like to call him. R Double L7.
SPEAKER_00My grandmother even called me that. I I was different. My family always told me if you didn't look like your dad, we wouldn't think you belonged to me. I carried a briefcase in elementary school. I I was I was a nerd. I wanted to be like Alex P. Keaton on family ties. Like I was uh I was a nerd. So I got to seventh grade and I I wowed it out a little bit for like three months. Um the first semester of my seventh grade year, I was just wilding. I I got suspended from school. Um I was getting pops and you know I was getting spangers because I was just I was just acting crazy. And I when I got suspended, my sister always laughs at this story. I told my sister on Friday, and she's like, Are you gonna tell grandma them? I was like, No, I want to enjoy my weekend. So I didn't tell them until Monday. I was like, my grandma was like, Why are you not dressed? Like I'm going to school. Why? I said, Because I got suspended. So my grandmother spanked me all under the Christmas tree. It was it was bad. It was bad. And so I remember she called my dad and she told my dad, She's like, You need to come talk to your son, he's out of control. Even my friends at school were like, What's wrong with you? Like, I was like, People change not that much. You carried a briefcase to school. Like, they were just shocked. My friends from elementary school were like, This is not who you are. Even they were kind of like, This isn't who you are. So my dad came over and I remember we're in my bedroom and he told me, he said, Hey, so I'm I acted a lot like my dad. My mom don't say, I look like him, but I act like him. He said, So I heard you got a whooping. Yeah, I got a spanking. I said, I did. He said, Your grandmother told me she tore you up. I said, Yes, sir. He said, and she said, You were crying. I said, Yes, sir. He said, didn't hurt a bit, did it? I was like, no, sir. And we just started laughing. And my dad told me, he said, Be better than me. Don't go down the road that I went down. Be better than me. I don't want to have to come back over here and have this conversation with you again. We understand each other. I said, yes, sir. And after that, never a problem with me again in school. And that was because it was because my dad, I he wanted me to be better. And I heard that and I felt that I understood that. And that always stood out to me. That he was like, I want you to do better, then I don't want you to make the mistakes that I made. And so that one conversation, us laughing and playing in that one serious moment changed how I looked, how I viewed things. Um, Pop, there's so many things. Um, Pop came to everything that I did. He didn't miss anything. Football, basketball, track, anything that I did, he he was there. And um, my grandfather wasn't the type to say, I love you to me, but he showed me with his actions. He showed me every day being there. He showed me, he gave me direction. He gave me like the way I'm like the way that I'm structured is because of him and my grandmother. And him being in the military structured me. I remember my grandfather didn't tell me he was proud of me until I graduated from college. That was the first time he ever told me he was proud of me. And it's because I was the first man in the family to graduate with a four-year degree. So he was very proud of me. He and he hugged me. He said, I'm so proud of you. I said, Well, can I have a hug? And he hugged me. But later in life, um, we were able to take care of Pop, me and my sister and Alex too. And, you know, we were able to take care of him. And I felt like, you know, and he always kind of felt bad that, you know, he felt like he was a burden. And he was never a burden because I never could pay him back. And because of who he was and because of what he did and invested in me, I was able to go to college. I was able to do things that I wouldn't have been able to do without him and my grandmother pushing me. So he just showed me how to be a man with his actions. He never had to say anything with his words. He showed me what I was supposed to do as a man and things like that. And that's why, like, I'll tell people they'll try to do something in front of me. I was like, my grandfather would come and beat me if he saw me letting you take trash out or open the door. He showed me how to be a gentleman. He showed me how to be a man, he showed me how to treat my grandmother. My grandmother would come home and said, I ain't got no gas in my car. And she would just go get it. He's like, My car is dirty. You go outside and watch it. He showed me how to be a man, not with his words, but with his actions. And he showed me he loved me with his actions every day. So those are the things that I learned from them, and there's so many other things, but they were really great men and uh and they shaped me to be who I am. And you know, like there's things, like I said, my dad wasn't perfect, but he made me want to be a better dad. And because of some of the things that I dealt with, I wanted to be a better dad for for you know for my children, and that's that's what drives me to be a good dad. Like, you know, one thing he was, he was always there for me, and I wanted to always be there for my kids, but I also wanted to make sure that I was pushing to do to be better than what he was.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and I know a lot of the stories that that tells me about his father, and then of course I was around um my great-grandfather a lot as I got older, so I have a lot more memories with him. And he was he loved Alex.
SPEAKER_00Oh my god, Pop loved Alex. He just he would tell her too. He would tell her all of a sudden I'm like, bro, you didn't tell me you love me. He he loved Alexandra.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, he was just a great overall man, and he was very he he had his ways, but he was very caring as well. I mean, he was just one of the best men ever as well. So he had such a great soul, and I just remember he, you know, he would do puzzles, his crime shows. I think that's why I'm such a big crime girly. You know, that's all he would watch when we would go to his house and he would watch all the good ones, you know, like NCIES, he would watch Criminal Minds, he would watch Law and Order. So I think a part of me just latched onto that, and that's like why crime is like my favorite genre, not because I'm crazy, because of him. So he was just a really great, great man and he had a really good life. Of course, he was taken to Rama so soon, but um, he definitely was one of a kind. I will say that for sure, especially because for me, I didn't get to really um know my great-grandmother as much because she did pass away early on, too. So it's just stories that I hear and pictures I see. So it's kind of just like he was a part of her, and I still got to keep that growing up.
SPEAKER_00So he was her grandma grandma.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so he was a really, really good man.
SPEAKER_00But I tell Alex all the time, like you're gonna have pictures of them in your house because without them, she wouldn't be here. Um, we I wouldn't have been able to afford to go to school and go off. I would have had to take a scholarship to play a sport somewhere, and I would have um never been able, I would have never met her mom and we would have never, she would have never been born. But because of them, you know, I was able to choose where I wanted to go to school. I was able to do things and you know that I wouldn't have been able to do. So, you know, shout out to my grandmother and my grandfather, and you know, they helped shape me into the man that I am. And there would be no Alex if it wasn't for them. Would be no Dad Please podcast without grandmom and pop.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, there wouldn't be. They're that um, what do they call them? Like the matriarch and the patriarch of our family. So, and then one question before I want to ask my last one is what is one of your favorite childhood memories with Pop? Um, I know you talked about your dad, one of the memories of you know him helping you through when you were getting in trouble a lot. But I know you have so many I could think of with Pop, but what would be one of your favorite childhood memories with him?
SPEAKER_00It's funny. One of my favorite childhood memories is, and it's because it's it's kind of shaped me, is my grandfather had this thing about taking us places. I like nothing. That's the one I was thinking about. Like he we had to speak. We had to speak when we get in the car. And I, for whatever reason, me and my sister did not speak all the time. I don't know why. We wouldn't get in a car and say hello. If we would say hello, he would take us to get a the snack. We would go to Dairy Queen, we would go to Denny's, we would go, but if we didn't, we went just straight home. And he like, I don't know to this day why we wouldn't speak. Well, one of my favorite memories, it's now it's funny now, but it wasn't funny, was when we got in a car. So my grandparents had a Cadillac, and um, we also had a Volkswagen, an old school like Volkswagen bug that my grandmother used to have that was mostly her work car. So, and my grandfather had a truck. So my sister one day, she my pop picked us up in the Volkswagen, and he said, and she was like, Why do you always pick us up in this car? My sister, the one that was on the podcast on the We're on Mars, go back, she's like, Why you always pick us in this car? Why can't you pick us up in the catal the Cadillac? My grandfather said nothing. I remember that. He said absolutely nothing. So the next day he comes, he picks us up, and he's just standing out there. And my sister, Keisha, she's like, Where's the car? He said, Oh, no car today. We're walking. I said, What? Why are we walking? And here's the thing it wasn't like the house was like 10 miles away, it was probably about a mile and a half away. He literally picked us up and we were walking, and it felt like we were like we were like in a desert struggling, and he was like, and and he he never said anything. And we walked home and I felt like we were just over like like overheated. And then like my grandmother found out, we were telling my grandmother, and she was laughing, and I was like, and you know, she's like, Well, you know, Keisha, you complain about the car. My grandfather never said anything, you're complaining about the car, and I told grandmama, but I didn't. Why didn't Pop pick me up and come and take me home and come back and get Keisha? But because which was always the problem, Keisha getting in trouble, and I would get in trouble too. And so my grandfather, the next day he picked us up on a Volkswagen. Keisha was so happy to see that Volkswagen, and that's what he did. He would teach us lessons by just with actions. Like, and like Keisha never complained about him picking us up on that Volkswagen again. And it was just like there was things like that. He he would do things like he would let us go outside and play. We wouldn't do something, he let us go outside and play. We're all in fun, having fun. We're on that, we call it family lane, that's where all my aunts and stuff lived. And we would be all the way down and he'd come out, he'd call us, y'all need to come put this stuff up. And we get so mad. But what he taught me was he was teaching us lessons. Okay, I've told you this, but you're not listening. So now I'm gonna show you. So him just he the way that he taught us lessons, I remember those, and those are some of my best memories. And I look back at them now and I laugh. I was frustrated as a kid, but now I use some of those same tactics on the kids here, too. So it's just like, you know, learning a lot. So that's those are really good memories that I have with him. And you know what? My dad had good memories of playing basketball. They weren't good memories growing up because he used to beat me in basketball, beat the trial of me. I'll come home crying all the time. That's why I'm so competitive now. It's because that man would just beat me and beat me. But he was so good at basketball, he would put me on his team with grown men at five, and my dad would be like, treat him like he's a man. That's the only way you're gonna learn. I get shots blocked all in my face. I'd be crying, he's like, quit crying, quit crying. And then he'll tell, oh, you're gonna do my son like that, then he'll score all the rest of the points by himself and we win the game. And he's like, quit all that crying. You want to be out there playing, you gotta be tough. So that's why I think I got my competitive nature from was from him destroying me all the time and making me want to be better. I hated.
SPEAKER_01Losing so yeah, I'm not competitive that much. I could care less if I win or lose. My children's not the most competitive I was in like high school sports, and even then it was like eh, so I'm not competitive at all. But okay, that brings me to my last question before we do our little game. What does being a father mean to you?
SPEAKER_00It means everything. I feel like, you know, I feel as if, like, you know, this is what I was supposed to be. I was supposed to be a dad. Um, I was supposed to be your dad because you know, you look crazy sometimes. So my calmness, I think, helps you a lot.
SPEAKER_01Um, but I am a little neurotic.
SPEAKER_00But being a dad is like everything to me. It's it's is the best thing. I've said this and Alex noticed I've told her this being her dad is the best thing I've ever done in my life. I don't see how different my life would have been if I wouldn't have been a dad. And um it is like the greatest adventure ever, and it is the best adventure. And I am thankful, you know, you get to go through life and raise these kids, and then they grow up and they begin to become your friends after you raise them if you do it the right way. And um Alex is a really good kid. She only got one spank in her whole life for me. Now, mom, that's a different story, but for me, I could just talk to her and she would just do whatever. And she was always easy. I'm like, and she even she's like that now. I'll tell her something. She'd be like, Okay, dad, that's the way she was when she was a kid. She'll be like, Okay, dad. Like, she's always been like that. Um, I I've always been able to be very calm with her. If I tell her I'm disappointed in her, just it breaks her, and it's just always been really easy being her dad. And um, I've been very thankful to that the Lord blessed me. Somebody I used to always tell her, I'll say, I told my mom she's such a good kid, and my mom was like, It's because you were a good kid. I didn't really give my mom problems. Um, you know, I have my little seventh grade year, but that was with my grandparents, but I never really gave my mom any problems. And um I was she said I was a really good kid. I was like Alex said, a square. I didn't like going out. I didn't like doing anything.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and he's so square.
SPEAKER_00I love being home. When people say go big or go home, you say that like that's a bad thing. I love being home, so it's a good thing. All my stuff is here. So um I love being I love being um a dad. It's like, you know, one of the most fun jobs in the world. My mom said, just wait till wait till they wait till Alex pops out kids. So, you know, like, and it is true, like, you know, the green kids, I love spending time with the green kids now that I have, and it's just amazing to do stuff with them and have fun with them and and everything like that, but it's really good.
SPEAKER_01So I know just wait. I'm gonna try to pop them out on his birthday too.
SPEAKER_00Yes, I told him, I wanna I want babies on my birthday. I want to share them with him.
SPEAKER_01That's what he says all the time. We'll see if I can plan it that right. But we're gonna get into our game now, and I have a list of questions that I gave to dad to fill out. So I'm gonna do that.
SPEAKER_00Okay, I think I misunderstood that. So I'm supposed to write my answers.
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_00Okay, I wrote what I thought. Your answer. Okay, I can do it in my head. Okay, come on. I'm ready. I'm ready.

SPEAKER_01Okay, so the first question is what is my favorite food? So what did you what are you thinking?
SPEAKER_00You have to tell me.
SPEAKER_01Well, how do I know if you're right?
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna tell you what my answer is. I I can let me see.
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna put it in my should we just do like a flip of a thing, you know, like they do in like game shows or something.
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna let me see. I'm gonna see. I'm gonna start doing so. So what is because I wrote I guys, I read, I did it wrong. I I wrote what I said what Alex won't. Okay, so what's my favorite food? Yeah. Okay, I'm writing it down now. What do you say?
SPEAKER_01Okay, one, two, three.

SPEAKER_01Chicken.
SPEAKER_00Chicken. It's chicken. I love chicken. Love chicken.
SPEAKER_01Okay, what is my best trait?
SPEAKER_00Um, my best trait.
SPEAKER_01Yes, your best trait, not mine. Okay, okay. I put your kindness.
SPEAKER_00Okay, that's why I put like like my how I love my family and stuff like that. My kindness, yes.
SPEAKER_01We're gonna count that, guys. We're gonna count that. Okay. What is my favorite movie, aka? What is dad's favorite movie?
SPEAKER_00You know the answer to this. I don't even have to write this down.
SPEAKER_01Pretty woman.
SPEAKER_00Yes, love Julia Roberts. I thought I was gonna marry her when I was when I was younger. I love Julia Roberts.
SPEAKER_01Which I'm glad he didn't, because then I wouldn't have my mom. Um, okay, and then I put what is your current obsession?
SPEAKER_00Oh, my current obsession. See, for you, I put what's your current obsession? I put the podcast Love Island and Crochet. That's what I put for you. Oh, okay. So for me, um, what would be my current obsession? What do you think?
SPEAKER_01I put Jeremiah's.
SPEAKER_00Yes, yes. I love Jeremiah's. That's all I want all the time. I have some in the freezer right now. I love Jeremiah's.
SPEAKER_01Okay, that's what I put. I put the Jeremiah's.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01And then last question is a Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston? Michael Jackson. That's what I put Michael Jackson on. Michael Jackson. I put so my thought process was I know you love Whitney Houston, but you did see the Jackson 5 in concert, and you are a little more obsessed than Michael Jackson.
SPEAKER_00I think Michael Jackson is the greatest entertainer of all time. I don't think anybody's better than him ever. I I love Usher, I love Chris Brown, I love Beyonce. Michael Jackson is the greatest entertainer of all time. He can sing, he can dance, he can do it all. That in my opinion.
SPEAKER_01So that's what I picked. But that is the end of our guessing game. And I do know dad, five for five, guys. So I would like to pat myself on the back, but I would like to take the special time to just wish everyone a happy Father's Day before we get into our blind ranking. Um, and then once again, you know, um, if you really, you know, care, love, support your dad, post pics of them on Father's Day. I know we'll be posting pics of dad. Um, and then, like I said before, like dad's just a really special person to me. He's a really special person to his family. I always tell him and my mom, you know, whenever they pass in like 300 years, I'm gonna jump in the casket with them because I don't know how I could ever do life without them. They are my rocks, they are my support. And I believe that if they were not in my life, I'd probably be off joining the circus or something because I have no direction sometimes. So I am really blessed and proud to have my dad. And the only thing I want to do in life is just make my parents as proud as I possibly can. So thank you, Dad.
SPEAKER_00She does, and she does. She makes me very proud.
SPEAKER_01I'm being an amazing father, and I love you so much.
SPEAKER_00Thank you, Pooh. I love you too. And put um, you know, on our social media, TikTok and and um um Facebook and all those things when we posted things. Tell us memories of our good memories of what's your favorite part of your dad. Like, what do you love the most about your dad? Let us know that too.
SPEAKER_01And don't forget to hashtag dad please when you do it. We love to see all your special memories, and we know there are some great dads out there.
