Could Your Family Survive a Crisis? · Gentlemen Hour

• Filthy P: If you say you're ready, I'm gonna take your word for it, Uncle. ⁓ if you stay ready, homie. Hey, ⁓ is your family prepared for survival? What am I talking about? Am I talking about like zombie apocalypse? Am I just talking about surviving ⁓ recession? What kind of what am I talking about? Well, I'm gonna tell you, Uncle. All right, hey, patience, brother. Patience is rope. Everyone ⁓ everyone says their family is close until life punches you in the mouth. You remember when Tyson said that? He said, Hey, everyone has a plan until I punch him in the mouth. Hey, that's true, right? Life is like this, and then you get socked up and it's like, ⁓ what are we gonna do? So tonight, we're gonna put our families through impossible situations to find out who becomes the leader, ⁓ who panics, who disappears. It's probably gonna be you, and who saves the day. ⁓ hey. We're gonna find all that next, Uncle, on a very revealing gentleman's hour. Hey, so bring in the wife and kids. Did you say drop the intro? You cut. Then drop the intro, bro. Come on. Okay, I'm about that. All right, Uncle. Hey, how you doing, brother? How you doing? You good? You ready to get into this one? I'm doing good. We're talking like five family dynamics. we're gonna try to see, you know, you have kids, I have kids. Obviously, they haven't grown into their roles, but it's almost like who has the potential to, you know, who's gonna step up when you're not there? Who's gonna be the guy that fixes around the house, or maybe gal? I don't know. That's what we're gonna ⁓ we're gonna talk about today. So ⁓ all right, opening toast, Unc. Salud. ⁓ my my my cheers, but it's actually more of a a question for you. ⁓ to you, Unk, what makes a person strong? And I'm not just talking physically, you know, obviously, you know, we're y you can see somebody's muscle. I'm not talking that, but also ⁓ mentally, emotionally, who doesn't crack, like all that kind of stuff. What do you think makes a person strong? resilience, bro. That's that's I think ultimately if ⁓ it's like that ⁓ you know what it just popped up the other day on my on my TikTok the that Rocky quote. ⁓ which one? It's not about how hard you get hit. ⁓ it's about how you what is it, how you come back from how hard you hit back up or how you hard you hit back. Yeah, yeah. And and you know what? That that makes a lot of sense. When I was a kid, ⁓ whatever it was like whatever. But It's like yeah, you if you if you can if you can withstand getting hit and you don't fall down and you don't or even if you do fall down, you get back up. You know what I mean? Right, right, right, right. I think that to me is is probably the the number one thing, yeah. Okay. That that will of not giving up. Yeah. ⁓ that drive. Yeah. You know what? That that's that's I mean, that is pretty true because like I when I think of that, how you just said, I think of like Kobe Bryant. The way he just they said he just wills it. You know what I mean? Like he's just even though he can lose the year whenever he lost to Boston and then he was just like he was so pissed off and determined like next year I'm I'm gonna like now I you know, I feel it. I I wanna come back and win this. So you're right. Sometimes it everybody can work out. Everybody, you know, everybody and also everybody physically I think has their limits. Like your body, your genes, all that, you're you can get as strong as you can, but that doesn't mean you're gonna be able to thrive in a tough situation. You know, so ⁓ yeah, I agree with that. Also, what age do you think or maybe it's a lifelong battle, what age do you think strength starts to come out? Like you start to see some of those traits like you know, like, ⁓ dang, like okay, maybe I don't need to be around forever. Like these kids are starting to, you know, I'm starting to see it. I don't think I don't think it's I don't think there's a number, bro. I think it's a it's a life experience. Okay. Okay. I mean 'cause you could be you could be in your late fifties bro and be a useless piece of crap. Right. Right? Right. Or you could be eight or nine and just be efficient and be hard working and I mean you seen those little kids bro in these little third world countries. You go to T J you go ⁓ yeah yeah yeah. And they're they're they're kid kindergarteners bro out there slanging chicles and candies and they're just they're just trying to make a buck, you know what I mean? Yeah. And it don't matter bro. You know and you also see like middle aged guys that don't do anything. Right. Or they can't do anything. Right, right. It all depends on your on your life struggles, brother, your life experience. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Okay. So so it's it's something that just evolves. I mean, it ⁓ yeah. You can't put a at twenty you have to have no, it it could be thirty, it could be forty, it could be fifty before you learn. Hey, I'm still learning new stuff. ⁓ yeah, for sure. Most of that stuff is in the bedroom, homie, if you know what I'm talking about. No, no, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Let's get serious. This is bedroom survival. ⁓ okay, so I wanted to tell you. Let's see. No, I'll I'll bring that up later. Okay, let's first ⁓ let's do this little little test for you because I know you like to take tests. I know you're a overachiever. So let's see how you do on this test. But guess what? This test might get some of your family members a little upset with you. I'm gonna go ahead and list ⁓ a couple of categories that are, you know, ⁓ necessary for being a good leader or a good survivor. Tell me who in your family ranks the best at each one. And it can be anybody. It doesn't have to, I'm not just talking your immediate. You could be your sister. It could be Adam. It could be your mom. It could be anybody. Whoever you want that you see, like, ⁓ yeah, if I know I need communication, I'm going to my sister. You know what I mean? Like whatever. It can be anybody in your family. So here we go. ⁓ you're gonna say who's the best in your family at these categories. So let's start off with right there, that one communication. ⁓ when you need to rely on somebody to communicate, who do you know is like, yeah, I I I trust them. They're gonna they're gonna communicate. Like communic commun communicate to get orders and strength. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yes, yes, yes. you know what? I I'm gonna I would probably say Laura. Okay, she's she's level headed. ⁓ huh. She tends to not crack under pressure. And I've actually seen it. I mean, there's not not like life. saving or anything like that. But I mean just just sometimes where I'm like, damn, how does she do it? Yeah. If not her, maybe my sister Rosie. So it's probably like neck and neck. Okay. ⁓ I was gonna suggest that suggest that too, because it seems like, you know, just from the outside looking in, like parties we've been together, like Laura seems like she's like she's on it. You know what I mean? Like there's no it doesn't seem like there's gonna be ever miscommunication because she's just telling you exactly what she needs or what she wants. So it's like, yeah, that I That's the person that's a good communicator 'cause they're not gonna you're not gonna misunderstand, like does she really want me to do this or does she want like she let to me it seems like she lets you know what exactly she expects. Like yeah, when when there's a goal, if there's a goal inside like if if you like let's say let's say we're on a sinking ship, she's probably gonna be the level headed one that's gonna be like, Hey, this is what we need to do and this how whatever, whatever. Right. And and then I mean I'm I'm a little bit more mechanical but than than she is, but yeah. Okay. ⁓ how about this one? Leadership. And ⁓ I forgot to tell you for these, don't choose yourself because I I mean I don't want to just I choose Uncle Louie. that would be me again. ⁓ that would like What do we need? That's all of it. All right. So ⁓ leadership. ⁓ leadership, maybe my cousin Victor, bro. He's he's ⁓ he's a natural born leader. Yeah, yeah, yeah. ⁓ obviously he's army trained and I mean he's been he's been through the thick of it. and I mean we just been kind of in we've been down since day one and I always kinda followed his lead. ⁓ like I said, I'm not a leader, I'm more of a follower. And he's got me out of some situations when I was younger. ⁓ not necessarily as an adult, 'cause we don't we don't interact like that, obviously, but I know that if I if we if it was him and I for sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So you f you ⁓ you feel like safe w following his leadership or you feel like he's gonna make the right call. He's gonna get us to where we need to go. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's what okay. That's not I'm not trying to jump on his back, but I know that. You know what I mean? Like Yeah. If we're going to that direction, I'm gonna I'm gonna follow yeah, yeah, yeah. Word, word, word. Okay. How about teamwork? Who's that one that you're just like, I know they're always gonna they're gonna be the best teammate. They're gonna go along. They're not gonna cause problems. They're they're gonna be supportive, you know, like like that. I'm gonna say teamwork could be the four the four other f people in this house. What do you mean? The ⁓ so they all equal. Yeah, Laura, Cass, Nick, Natalia, for sure. Okay. I think they I think we all work very well when when we have to. ⁓ we tend to kinda we have everybody as they get older, they take certain roles and they kinda Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask. Kind of step up when when needed for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like everybody accepts their roles too, it sounds Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You you kinda you you I think you learn ⁓ yeah, what needs to be done. We dictate and sometimes there's certain I it's a pr it's actually quite surprising, like especially like with Cass and and with Nick, they kind of pick it up real quick and they kinda know what to do. And then I mean obviously you've seen Natalia in action, she's pretty much yeah, trying to get to the B number two in this house, but I mean i it's yeah, i i it's very it's very ⁓ I guess ⁓ reassuring. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That if if if stuff would hit if S would hit the fan, like yeah, yeah, they're gonna have those they have those qualities. Yeah. Yeah. ⁓ what about this? Who has that demeanor that they can stay calm under pressure? I'm trying not to use the same people over and over again. Yeah, yeah. So I'm gonna I'm gonna say you know what? For sure, my dad, bro, my dad was like that. Because I never I I don't in my entire in my entire life I never saw him panic. he He's been an underdog his whole life. I mean he always kinda he always kinda he made the most of what he had, bro. And a lot of times he didn't have a lot. Like he knew how to fix things with minimal, like kind of MacGyverish. Right. ⁓ stuff that he had never done. I mean, he wasn't educated. He was a gardener by trade, but he knew a little bit of plumbing, carpentry, I mean masonry. I mean everything, bro, everything. That man knew a little bit of everything. Yeah. So I would say I would say him for sure. That's cool. That's ⁓ yeah. It's respectful. ⁓ what about a problem solver who has that kind of mind where they're like, if we do that, maybe we can fit you know what I mean? And it can't be me, you said. I guess ⁓ in your household, yeah. Go ahead. Give yourself some props. All right. Are you teaching anybody? Is there anybody coming up that you're like, ⁓ I teach everybody who was around me, bro. They absorb it. Okay, all right. I mean I I I hopefully they're sponges. Obviously. Yeah. And obviously sometimes I'm kinda like watching me do it, but yeah, I I try to I try to. I I try to let them Like d like just yesterday I had ⁓ we had the registration tags for for Cass's car. And she's like, Yeah, I I I paid the tags, did they come in? I like, Yeah, I was gonna do it today. And then we went outside and by the time I started putting some music on, I looked back and she was taking ⁓ off. ⁓ dang. I was like, All right, cool, yeah. And Jimmy she didn't I mean you gotta take the little frame off, take the plate off. Yeah. I taught her the little the little slit ⁓ sticker with the the old school ho hood trick. So she does all that, yeah. Well you cut it. You cut it so if they try to peel it off, they can't use it. The little slices. Yeah, you put yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. ⁓ that's funny you bring that up because that like I I told you I went to help my daughter move ⁓ this past weekend. So that kind of came under that kind of happened, like this whole little thing we're talking about. So ⁓ the day before we left, she wanted to go and just cause she's moving into a new place. She's like, Can I get a new dresser? You know, just like little stuff. So I'm like, all right, all right, like what do you you know, cause you want you're talking like an actual f you want to go to a furniture store? She's like, No, no, I just want to go to Walmart. I saw this one. I'm like, okay, but cause I had to leave, we had to leave by like we were saying twelve the latest, cause it's a long it's like nine hours after all the stops and everything, and then we have to work and everything. So I'm like I'm like, ⁓ I'm like, I'm not gonna be able to build it though. Like, you know, can you can you build this on your own? And I'm like, it doesn't it's probably not that that difficult. I'll buy I bought just like basic little tools for her. and so she was like, All right. So anyway, so I didn't hear from her the next day. We got home, went to work. I didn't hear anything. All of a sudden at like five o'clock at night the next day, ⁓ she like texted, she's like, This thing is sucks. It's broken. I can't fix it. She you could tell she's just frustrated. I'm like, all right, all right, like what's happening she's like, it's all broken. It's like the nails are ripping out. I'm like, what the heck? I'm like, I've seen some shoddy stuff, like some cheap stuff. And especially Walmart, but I'm like, it shouldn't be just ripping out. I'm like, that doesn't make any sense. I'm like, why don't you FaceTime me? She's like, I don't wanna deal with this anymore. It I've spent the last four hours, I'm done, or something. So I I could tell in her text she was, you know, we've all been there where you're just like, I don't know what to do. It's it's all broken, it's all pieces. So, anyways, so I just let it left it alone, like, all right, well, if if anything, you just have to return it and we'll figure something out. And then I was like, Shit, I can just go out there, I guess, fly out there or something, I'll just build like Let me know what I need to build. I'll build it all in a day and then I'll just take off. I was already thinking of doing stuff. Anyways, the next day I guess she calmed down because she was just like, So here it is. She sent like a quick video. She's like, this is ripping out of this, and this is ripp. And as I'm looking, I see, have you ever seen those like where it's like you're building something that has a screw, but it also almost has that little plastic, ⁓ you know, the little wedge part that opens up that locks again the anchor or whatever. And you put that usually into another little like lock and then you just lock that lock. Well you turn it, right? You turn it into Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So when I saw her thing, I saw I know I recognize that right after that. I'm like, to Desiree, because I just was watching the video. I'm like, I bet she thought that was just like you just put it in and then you just attach it, it's gonna hold. I'm like, I bet she didn't do that little half lock. I'm like, I could tell right off the bat. And so but I'm like, I'm not gonna I don't wanna like Hey, I see what you did wrong because you're gonna probably lose it. But anyway, so she ends up calling me and she's like, Well, can you FaceTime right now? I'm like, Yeah, let's do it. I looked at him like, Yeah, Marty, did you lock that back part? And she's like, Huh? And I'm like, You have to lock it. If you don't lock it, it's just gonna it's gonna move in there and it's gonna eventually just rip out. And she's like, ⁓ no. And I'm like, Well, if you wanna start and try it again, I don't know, the places were ripped out, we might be able to I might be able to show you how or I know if I was there, I could kind of jimmy it or whatever, or buy another little piece of wood and just kind of, you know, whatever they call it, where you just kind of make it happen. But I'm like, if you want to try it, it's, you know, let's give it a shot. But once we start building this again, you're probably not gonna be able to return it. Cause once we start locking all this stuff in, you know, and she's like, all right, let's try. So we start going through it. We did the whole base in 10 minutes. She said, This part all took me five hours last night. And it and it's still, you see, it's all broken. She said, What we just did in 10 minutes. I'm like, why didn't you just call me? I would have walked you through. This is all easy stuff. But for you, you've never done it. You're not gonna know. Yeah. You know? And so she's like, I know. I just thought I could build it myself. Anyways, we ended up just going through slow. We were FaceTiming. I was like working and she was doing it. And then she would ask, Well, what do I do? All right, do that, do that. Had it built. Yeah, it looks good. I don't know if it's gonna hold that for two years, but all she needs it for is a year. It'll hold, you know, so I was like, Don't you feel better? You know, and but to see her go from like to where like I don't want to have anything to do with this, da-da-da, you know, to all of a sudden like look at you you calmed down, you got rid of all that. She's like, I was crying yesterday. I'm like, You were crying? She was like, Yeah, she's like, I started crying. I was like, Okay, but you see, when you calm down and start thinking about stuff logically, like, okay, let me call my dad or let me see what that you know. Look at we gotta fix it. Never nothing is as bad or impossible as it seems if especially when you have help. So that just kinda reminded me of like, you know, what you were talking about, how you gotta, you know, do stuff the right way or whatever. Yeah, you know what? Sometimes that's what I tell the kids like, hey, sometimes you just gotta stop and walk away. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Clear your head. Yeah. Get a drink of water. Yeah. Something. Come back. You know what I mean? It's it's it's crazy because like you'll figure it out. It's just When you're frustrated, ⁓ my God, bro, it's it's like the worst. You're like and also I know for me, I don't know if it's for you, but like when I'm frustrated, it just seems like I have like locked in, like and I don't even see all like then once you're right, you go take a break and then you come back, you see like, ⁓ I could do ⁓ there it is. But when you're frustrated, you just have the what are those horse television? Those horse things where you can't see any those blinders and it's like All you see is what's wrong and you can't fix it. So, anyways, that I yeah. So, anyway, I wanted to share that. We just went through that. How about this? Trust who in your family do you like? I know they're always gonna make that good decision for for the best of the family or whatever. ⁓ I would say Kat. Okay. I would take Cass because she's a she's a weird she's a weird blend of I think all the parental figures in her family in her life. And she takes she she's learned a lot from Laura. She's learned some from me. She's got certain traits from her mom. And it's like a good balance, bro, because she seems to be level headed. Sometimes she doesn't have a hundred percent follow through on ⁓ certain things. But as far as if I need her to make the right decision or or you know, step up when needed, yeah, yeah. She's very, very, very humble, very thoughtful. But like I said, sometimes she just lacks a little follow through, but I mean she'll get over that. Yeah, it'll get better. That's something you can work through. Yeah. ⁓ what about sacrifice? Who do you know in your immediate or just family overall that you know they're they're gonna sacrifice maybe the good for them or the good of me for the the we? The better of everybody else? Yeah. Snap, I don't know. That one's hard. Maybe maybe my mom, bro. My mom's very very, very giving. Especially when it if if it's something that that if that's the only thing she can do is maybe like sacrifice something, whether it's a meal, whether it's an article of clothing or something like that. Yeah, I think I think it would be her, especially, you know, given her background from when she was younger, yeah. I think I feel like every mom, especially moms, and and dads too, but especially moms They have to be right a little bit of what is it where you're selfless, like you're always gonna put your ki I mean, you sacrifice Kerato for the greater deal. Yeah, for you're always gonna put them first ahead of yourself. You know? ⁓ yeah, I feel like all moms ⁓ do that. ⁓ what about this? Humor under pressure. So tough is situation, people are maybe about to fight. Who's that one who's gonna try to come in with that humor and and de escalate the situation? Maybe, maybe, maybe 50 P dog. Finally a little respect around here. Yeah, yeah. You're pretty funny when when under pressure. When you're when you're bowling, when you're bowling a 17 on the on the ⁓ on the ninth frame, bro. Come on, I thought you were about to say on the first half frame, bro. Come on. Give me a break, bro. You saw my scores go up. Anyways. ⁓ yeah, thank you, sir. I appreciate that. It's good to feel it's good to feel recognized. ⁓ all right, Uncle. Okay, this is actually how I came up with this subject because I was watching back in the day. Have you ever seen let's see if you've heard of these shows? Obviously. Survivor. Survivor's ready. Big Brother and Amazing Race. So two Big Brother and Survivor are like me mine and my son's favorite shows. We watch them every year. I like Amazing Race. He never liked it, but Amazing Race, I don't know if you heard of that one. It's basically like a big ass ⁓ What is that where you go and scavenger hunt. There you go. Yeah. A big scavenger hunt, but like worldwide. So it's kinda cool. It's like you gotta have brains, you gotta be able to problem solve. You gotta be able to solve puzzles. You gotta be able to just do random athletic challenges, you gotta do all this stuff. So the best people are usually that are the best ones that usually win the game are the best, the most well rounded. And so it's like teams, right? So it's like Most of it is like brothers, best friends, father-daughter, father-son, mother son, like whatever. You know, so I started thinking I'm like, dang, who wouldn't I was just thinking immediate family and I was like, who could I take? Like if they said, Hey, you gotta go on amazing race, who's gonna give you the best shot to win? I was like, Well, my one daughter Maddie is really like serious and she fall like she would be good on all the like the technical stuff. But then my other daughter daughter, Allie, is more adventurous and like takes more risks and like so she would be better on the kind of the crazy challenges where she's just gonna be fearless. You gotta eat a cockroach or you know, some crazy. You know, and then I'm like, and then my son is really probably the smartest out of all of us. But then like physically he doesn't really like he doesn't he's not like a big competitor. So it's like would that stuff slow him down? Like So I started trying to think of all should I take dirty deep? No, me and Dez would just be fighting nonstop. Because that's what you end up seeing. The ones the the teams that don't get along or that they can't figure something out, they're just fighting and blaming each other. And it's it's it's crazy. So anyway, so that's kind of how I got started on this. ⁓ first off, let's start with Survivor. So you know you know how Survivor works, right? They strand everybody out on the island and it's just you have to survive. Survivor, you're by yourself, right? Yeah, you're by yourself. ⁓ Yeah, yeah, you're by yourself. You're on teams and stuff like that, but in the end, it's you you gotta win the game by yourself, right? Okay, so you you know the concept. Who in your family, let's just do immediate on this one, ⁓ would be best at ⁓ competing in Survivor. So remember, Survivor is big time physical, but also ⁓ I would say not as much strategy, but strategy does come into play, being a good people person and able to make alliances and all that. And also there's a lot of like, puzzles and stuff you have to figure out like that. Who do you think in your family ⁓ would have the best shot at ⁓ winning? I'm gonna say if it's if it's survivor, I'm I'm sending Kath. Really? Okay, why? Because she's she's she's pretty much willing to try anything once. Like you you it's easier to hype her up to try to do stuff. I remember like we had a competition on the like two years ago on the side of the house. It's like a random like Sunday, we're just chilling, and ⁓ something happened. I think the ball went over like the wall on the on the far side of the house. And then I said, Man, you know, back in my day, I could get that in one hop. And they're like, Yeah, right. Like, come on, man. And I went, I go, come on. We went and I ran, boom, one hop. And then the on the other side on the on the street side, it's ⁓ it's like a slope. Uh-huh. So to hop over, you gotta run up a little and then hop. And I did it. Boom. I mean, I messed up my stomach, dude, because I I landed on the top pretty hard. ⁓ yeah. And I was like, ⁓ I didn't I played it off. I jumped over and you're like, what? So then they try to do it. But that yeah, I'm telling you, like, it's literally like I said, come on, I'll show you. And she's like, Alright, cool. And then I'll do it. Blah, blah, blah. So I think in in in the survivor setting, I think she would probably probably be the best. She's pretty she's pretty ⁓ as far as physical. ⁓ she's pretty good at solving like minimal, like, you know, regular little Not too crazy. And yeah, I mean, I think she would be, she would probably be willing to try it for sure. For me, so I thought you were going to say Natalia because she's so and of course it's not like going right now Natalia when she's gonna be an adult. You know what I mean? But I would thought you would say her because she's so like athletic. Athletic and physically. But that would be my my pick for athleticism for sure. But there's a whole bunch of different aspects that you're right, Cast might. So for me, I was like thinking about ⁓ for me would be my daughter Allie because Physically, she's probably the best out of all of them now. ⁓ and then she's also a really good people person. Like she can make connections, and that's what you need on that game too, because you need to build alliances and all that. And as far as puzzles, I don't know about all that. I don't know. I think she would just be average. I've never really seen her do puzzles or anything like that. But as far as the other stuff, I think that would get her going. So ⁓ okay, all right, all right. How about now this one, Big Brother? I don't know if you've ever seen this. It's basically the same kind of situation, but you're actually in a house. And this one is more strategic. They do have physical competitions, but it's not like survivor where you're swimming and running through the sand and having to hold up a, you know, a weight for, you know, an endurance challenge or whatever. It's all easier stuff. It's more games and stuff like that. But in Big Brother, you need to have that personality to make alliances, to be able to get along with people. So that one is more strategic. Who in your family you think would ⁓ would be best at that one? ⁓ that one's easy, bro. That for sure. 100%. Laura. Okay. Laura is Laura has Laura's almost a superhero when it comes to reading people. ⁓ and that that's you need that big time, yeah. Bro, it's insane. Wow. I've been in places around ⁓ friends and co workers of mine, or I've been even here, we've invited new people. Like, hey, I've invited a coral. And she'll tell me like, hey, ⁓ so and so, yeah, okay. What about so and so? Like, yeah, this and that. ⁓ well yeah, you know, it's because I I I got this vibe or I got this. Or we'll go to like to to parties or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. She's like, ⁓ can you believe ⁓ so and so showed up with so and so? And I'm like, Yeah. ⁓ but you know and then I'm like, ⁓ you what that ain't that is right. Huh? How damn, like that's crazy. So like that's you you'd even see that you didn't even see that angle, huh? What are you talking about? Yeah. She's also very, very very like a social butterfly. Okay. She can talk to a lot of people, get to know ⁓ Yeah. ⁓ and I think that's part of it. That's probably why she can she can see like, hey, you know, this person's shady or this person's up to no good or Hey. How is this person? That's a real like real quality, you know what I mean? Like thing to have, like to be able to read people like that. Dang. Yeah, yeah. So I mean, if it's in that setting, ⁓ yeah, for sure. She's she's Kicking butt on big brother for sure. Nice, nice. Okay. For me, it's my son because he loves that show. And as we talk about stuff, I'll like say strategies. Like, yeah, yeah, I know. He's like, that's what I would do. Because he's also very level headed when he like makes friends, he makes good connections, and that's what you need in that game. You need to build up alliances. And it it's not more, it's not physical as much as it is like mental and relationships. So all right, all right. How about this one? ⁓ Amazing race. So this is a two-person team. This is the one we were talking about, the treasure hunt or whatever, all over the country. So this one honestly, it's not as much about like alliances and all that. There's a little bit of that, but not really. This one is best. The best teams have the best teamwork, best communication. ⁓ somebody on the team is like a physical can do the physical challenges, and then somebody can do the mental challenges. So you need honestly. Out of a team of two, so give me the team of two, I assume you're one of them, but give me the team of two, who has just the best all around that it's like whatever situation you're gonna one of you is gonna be able to tackle it. I'm taking my boy Nick. Damn, but aren't you guys bro, if you're too similar, that's when I see people get met messed up because somebody can't do that. ⁓ okay. ⁓ you're saying you could do it all. I I can well, whatever I can do, he's gonna do. Is he willing to do like is he willing to take on anything? Like it might be you have to repel off of the Eiffel Tower. Like, is he willing to Okay, so he'll do anything. Yeah, he's okay. So let me let me let me break it down this way. He's more of a thrill seeker than I am. Okay. Okay, okay. I don't like roller coasters. He loves them. I hate him. So he he doesn't have that that that that whole that hold up, I guess, that I do that when it comes to that. But as far as as overall, if you look at him in the last two years, he's become somewhat of a specimen. yeah. He's tall and athletic, yeah. He's tall. Yeah. He's he's he's starting to be very athletic, more athletic than he was two years ago. And and he was pretty good back then, right? But yeah. He's coming into his own and he's very good at at telling him you you need to tell him one time and that's it. ⁓ okay. That's like if you tell him, Hey, let's do this or you show him He'll pick it up and he'll remember it. Like, ⁓ I remember that. Boo boo boo. He's very good on facts, on details, on remembering stuff. He's ⁓ he's not as he's not as social as he could be. But also he you know, he's young. He's you know, fifteen. So I'm if I'm if I'm going on that show, it's gonna be with him for sure. Dope. Okay. Give me one second. What's up, Ta? ⁓ how much longer we got, Louie? Half an hour. Come back at 11 and grab me. Whoa! Already wants to watch ⁓ Big Brother. That's how I know summer break, because these kids bored. These kids are bored non-stop, or this kid. okay, for me, ⁓ I would actually go on this one with my daughter Marissa because all of my kids bring something different, but I think she would have the best shot because she brings what I need sometimes, which is Like she can lock in and like, okay, this do yeah, that balance. She's more strict and like, hey, we gotta do this, this, this, and she stays on it, where I can kind of meander. Me and my other daughter would probably both go in different like go off in different, you know what I mean? And then my son, he's not as adventurous as you need to, you know, like you were saying, Nick will do whatever. My son's not in that. He he's like me. I don't like roller coasters, I don't like heights, I don't like doing any of that stuff. And he's the same. So there would be some challenges. We'd just be stuck. Like, who's gonna do it? I ain't doing it. I ain't doing it. So it's like you need that person. So for me it would be ⁓ my daughter Marissa. Desiree would be good too, because me and Desiree work good together in terms of like solving problems. The only problem is that when we don't, we fight too much. So it would just be you know, it would be a lot of you're not you're not taking her on any show. What's going on here? Hey, because ⁓ she's good at she's got goodness and a little bit of everything, but You know, some of these other kids specialize in other stuff that I need. You pick you picked Max before you picked up Are you trying to make up with her since you guys were fighting in that last show? Did you see that? What do you mean? Remember the last show where you were like you said, ⁓ you said grandmas aren't hot and I was like, Des Louie Uncle Louie said grandmas aren't hot and I never said that, would you be an instigator, bro? ⁓ yeah. I'm a victim in this whole situation. Sorry, bro. My bad. It's like a bad idea. Sorry, I apologize. All right. Let's move on. Can we move on? Let's go. What would your family do? That's the next title, this next segment. What would your family do to do? These are scenarios. I want you to tell me how who would do the best. ⁓ how do you think these things would play out? You know, just you know, give me that unk. Give me that unkness. Drop it on me. First one, the power goes out. Of course, that happens all the time. But I'm not talking about the power goes out for the night, unc. You get a couple candles. Remember old school, you grab a couple candles and make do, read a book in the candlelight. No, no, no. I'm talking about the power goes out and they're saying we don't know when it's coming back, if it ever comes back. This might be an attack, a glitch. We're talking kind of end of the world kind of BS, if you know what I'm talking about. So the power goes out. Here's what you need done. Somebody needs to go find food. Somebody ⁓ yeah, yeah. Let's start there. Okay. Who can you rely on? Who do you think has that like you could send them out and they're gonna come back with some food? Whether it might be stealing it, maybe they go to the store and they make a run for it. Like who I don't know. But who do you trust more? They're gonna get that job done besides you. Okay. Is it only one? Yeah, it's just one, bro. One person, one person for that job. I would send Kathan Natalia. Over Laura? I feel like Laura would just like get sh- Done in that situation, no? I don't know because I don't think Laura would steal. And I think Cass and Natalia would run in there and be the driver and we'll grab it. All right, all right, okay. That makes sense. That makes sense. Okay, all right, okay. All right, all right. How about this one? Who would be complaining the most? Right off the bat. Here we go. Here we go. Complaining? Probably Nick. Really? And he would be just like, whatever. Okay, all right. Nah, you'd probably be like, man. I was supposed to do this or I was gonna do this or now I can't. I mean it not necessarily to complain about the the the the situation we're in, more of what he would be doing. Yeah, yeah, what he's missing out. Now I'm missing out on this. Yeah. Okay. All right, all right, makes sense. How about this? Who's gonna be the first to like, hey, we gotta try and fix that? Like say, I don't know, whatever. The car is ⁓ anything. Who's gonna be the first one to jump up? Okay, Laura's gonna like immediate. Anytime there's a problem And it needs to be addressed, she's gonna be on top of it. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Okay. who's gonna be the one? I guess you can throw yourself in for this one if you want. Who would be the one to try and keep the family calm? Like, I know it's tough, I know it's looking crazy, I know I see houses getting burglarized up the street, but hey, we need to chill, we need to relax, here's what we're gonna do. Yeah, that would be me. Okay. And even the even try be the voice of reason. And everybody will be like, Okay, you you're able to calm everybody? Yeah. I think I think in ⁓ in those situations, I obviously the kids look at like Laura and myself. but I think when it comes to to cracking necks and breaking backs, they know it's it's gonna be me. ⁓ hell yeah. Wait, what did you say? Break your backs? Hey, whoa, not that kind of breaking backs fool. I call it blowing out backs. I'm like, hey, whose back needs to be blown out? Whose back needs to be blown out? Get in line. Hey, break breaking necks and ⁓ Slapping fools, I guess. Okay, good. All right. How about this one? This one's more serious. This one's more scary. Zombie Apocalypse. Okay, so now you so tell Laura don't feel bad about stealing. This is the end of the world type ass, okay? Who gets left behind? And I'm not talking about like, hey, we gotta leave them behind for this. You guys are all running. Who do you look back and like you need to hurry the hell up or you're about to get eaten, girl? Why? Just because they're just like what? Or they don't they just they don't wanna run or they're just gonna be like I mean why? Yeah, you cut out for a little bit. ⁓ I said why? Like what do you mean? Like what? They're just gonna be like lollygagging or they're not gonna be into it or they're not gonna be scared enough? I think one of 'em's tripping. And the other one's stopping to see, hey, what happened? And we're gone, bro. We're long gone. 'Cause you know zombie a cop apocalypse is everybody for them everybody for themselves, you know what I mean? Hey, you don't have to be the the fastest in the group, but you can't be the slowest. Yeah, you can't be the slowest. And then for sure, Natalia's in the front. Natalia's the fastest one in the family. Is she even looking back or she's gone? Yeah, she's just jamming, boom, boom, boom. Are you seeing it's the dust she's kicking up? Wait a minute. Are you saying she's faster right now than Nick? ⁓ yeah, for sure. Wow. Damn, she's fast as shit. Have you not seen the videos, bruv? I have, but it's like against her own age, but like I would still think her older brother could smoke her. I mean, maybe he's in he's got a longer stride. Wow, that's crazy. That gazelle stride against the hyena speed, but where did ⁓ where'd she get that speed, do you think? I don't know, bro. I think it's a blend of both families, a perfect blend of of both sides. And that prototype, man. She's like Yeah, bro. She's she's like spider, man. She's yeah, she got bit by something. ⁓ okay. ⁓ who becomes now this one, let's put a little spin on it. You get taken out ⁓ day 30. ⁓ you cramp up, a zombie tracks you down from behind, runs you down from behind. Almost like you're on that go, you're on that ⁓ that runaway ⁓ that breakaway football, and ⁓ that zombie catches you from behind. So you get taken out. I thought I was Bo Jackson, and apparently I wasn't, huh? Nah, you weren't, brother. You got taken down, and unfortunately, sadly, actually, like Eight zombies just tore you up. You were a you were a straight snack, bro, for those five. I just it was a bad one. It was a bad one. But anyways, so you know. Salute. Unk is gone. Hey, you lived a good one. ⁓ Who's next up in line to be the leader? Well, obviously, Laura. Let's do this one for the kids. Who's got that potential? I thought you said it was Cass. I mean, yeah, but if I'm if I'm gone, bro, you know it's like, damn, I'm the man of the house. Okay. Would the other step up? Would the sisters respect his ⁓ his authority? Yeah. Yeah. He's carrying he's carrying that Glock in his in his on his hip and the shoddy on his back, homie. Damn, like walking dead, huh? What was the little the little goofy kid? Remember the sun? Hey, that Mossberg, don't mess around, homeboy. ⁓ yeah, you roll I I roll Benelli, homie. I roll Benelli, brother. Come on now. Benelli. Thank you. I thought it was a red writer. Hey, popped up in my scene again. Luckily who was that? Luckily this time she got clothes on. She's for once guy. Shino. She's trying to get me banned. She's trying to get me banned on YouTube. so Nick would step up because obviously it's like more of like the man of the house now, like, hey brother, you got the throne. All right. ⁓ This is a sad one, but who is making the most mistakes and so that somebody always like you need to tell the who whoever you're sidekick like hey you need to keep an eye on them. They're gonna they're probably gonna mess up. You know what I mean? Like who do you have to watch out for the most? You guys are out on a mission and this person's gonna like be the loudest accidentally or drop something so that all the zombies come, whatever, something like that. I think maybe just not Dahlia 'cause she's the youngest. Okay. Okay. Maybe maybe the the strength obviously ain't there. No, but I was gonna say maybe also her being like kind of too fearless, like it's like she might think she's more you know I mean invincible and it's like, hey girl, these zombies you saw they took out pops. Easy, one, two, three. Okay, so Natalia. Yeah, she definitely has leader potential as well. ⁓ how about this one? Who would who would be most likely to betray the group? Most likely to be what? Who would most likely betray the group? Nick. He's jumping real quick. Nick would sell out everybody to save himself. If I'm done, yeah. And he's the he's a he's the head of the house. Yeah. He might be like, hey man, you guys are weighing me down. I'm out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Hey. He might just take his mom. He might just take his mom and that's it. Hey girls, fend for yourself. Good luck. Maybe we'll see you at Christmas. But probably not. ⁓ okay, who survives the longest? And of course this is all fun, make believe. We're not talking serious. But who makes it the longest? Yeah. Probably me. You got taken out, brother. ⁓ yeah, I'm not there. All right. Then ⁓ I'm gonna say Nick. Nick, okay. Cause I would think the person that survives the longest, you have to have a little bit of that fight or flight, be able to quit you know, you gotta be able to have good stamina. You gotta have good You gotta be cold blooded. You gotta have that good sense of feeling when something's about to go down. You know what I mean? That that little tingle on your neck. That little seventh cents. Yeah. Six cents. There you go. Six cents. Okay. All right. Cool, man. That's good. All right. ⁓ Uncle. Yes, sir. What's your favorite segment? What's my favorite what? That glock, that glock. That glock glock. That's now illegal, bro. You better turn that gun in, brother. You gotta turn it in. Grandfather didn't bro. I just can't I'm checked 'cause I can't get another one. You could go into Arizona and get one. All right. Rapid fire gotta become a smuggler. Rapid fire, Unc. Okay, rapid fire. ⁓ now this one, let's just open it up to everybody. ⁓ your whole family, people you know, friends if you want to throw ⁓ under the bus, whoever. ⁓ in an emergency, uncle, who is the first person to panic? In an emergency? Probably my my brother in law Adam. Really? Okay. All right. Cool. Now shout out Adam. No, he's cool. ⁓ I don't know. No, he's cool. Who would be the first person to panic? Like it's just a e it's just a the situation just barely gets started. Somebody's already like, ⁓ we're in trouble. ⁓ this is yeah. ⁓ like that. I'd r I'd rather not say can I peek can I please the fifth? No. ⁓ Yeah, yeah. Hey, I don't want to get you I wanna get you a I gotta answer. I gotta answer. ⁓ who would it be? And panicking is not a bad thing, bro. I mean it's just Yeah, no, no, I mean it's it's it's human nature, bro. You can't shut it up. Exactly. Exactly, exactly. Who would panic? Do do do do do and like You know what bro I'm surrounded by a bunch of beasts, so I don't think anybody would panic. Okay, cool. Cool. Who would panic? Who would panic? ⁓ Damn, this is this is hard. Let me come back to that. Okay. For me, like this is a prime example. Like one I told you, I think maybe I told you that story when I my daughters were young in the soccer league. We're playing like on the east side, and some fool in the middle of their practice, like in the parking lot, somebody got in a fight with somebody or something, and somebody started shooting. So of course everybody jumps to the ground. The coach is like, Get on the ground, get on the ground. ⁓ I'm right there. So I'm like, ⁓ sh I'm gonna go grab my kid. I'm getting out of here. I'm not, you know what I mean? So I go. One of my daughters is Marissa and she's doing fine. She's like, okay, let's go. You could tell she's scared, but she's like looking at me for direction. Like, what do we do? What do we do? My other daughter is just ball, balling, crying. And so I'm trying to like calm her down, but also like, I don't care about you calming down. Right now we just let's get out of here. You know what I mean? Like, so I'm trying to get also get her out, but she's like flipping out, crying. And then even when we get the car, she's just like, she can't even control it. Now that was That was y they were U twelve, so she was probably eleven or twelve. So it's like, okay. ⁓ and then I heard she was in that situation. Remember I told you I think before in college where some car chased her and her friends down and there was following stuff. And but she reacted by not freaking out. They like ran home or got to their complex or whatever. Then when she called me, she started breaking down. But it's like, okay, so she's getting better, you know what I mean? But ⁓ I think like getting scared and and freaking out is a natural response. And once it happens more than once, that's where you kinda like learn to deal with and like, okay, I gotta I gotta control my emotions to get to safety first. But yeah, that's a that's a that's a tough one. You know you know what with ⁓ I don't wanna I don't wanna say any names to upset anybody. So I will say this. Okay. I think if I had to pick somebody, it would probably be Natalia just because she's the youngest. Okay. Yeah. And I'm So life experience has Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And that if there were gunshots, ⁓ yeah, she's for sure drop she's crying. Yeah, of course. Like that would be n that would it be normal if she wasn't, honestly. Yeah, she'd be like, What? Yeah. Yeah. She turns it a Tupac or like You don't want to see me. ⁓ okay, how about this one? Who is the most dependable? And again, this can be anybody. Who do you depend for? For me, Laura. And crisis, who are you going to, Unc? Who are you calling? Laura for sure. ⁓ okay, right there. Yeah. Your your rock is is okay. She's solid, bro. Solid solid as a rock, the foundation. I mean, I crack under pressure. That's good. Sensible. Yeah. ⁓ who's the most likely to save everybody? Who's trying to save everyone? ⁓ probably who's that hero, okay. Yeah, she's probably it's probably hero hero mentality. Is that heart? That heart might that heart might be bigger than her brain sometimes. I mean, that's a good thing though. Can't get you in can't get you in trouble, but it can be true. It is a good thing. Yeah. How about this one? Which I don't know how this got in here. Worst driver. Worst driver. Well I guess she's only I mean I guess in like an apocalypse that is. Give her some pillows. ⁓ I would say yeah. I mean it would have to be her. And then Nick, 'cause you don't have a license yet. ⁓ has Nick started driving? At least like like not not yet. Okay. Not yet. Okay. So both of them would be the worst. Yeah, so they would I mean, I'm sure he would do better than Natalia for sure. Yeah. Yeah. But Well, who who does better i in one v one Nick versus Natalia Mario Kart, who's winning? You know what? They've never got one v one. Damn. Why? Because you know what? ⁓ Natalia doesn't really play, bro. Like she was always little when we started playing it, and then just recently she started, but she's not I think she's she's that competitive side, and because she she knows she's not gonna beat Nick or Cass. ⁓ so if she doesn't a hundred percent try? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I you know what? Maybe I should get her on it to like practice on her own and then challenge them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know, but you also know, right? I still want that smoke. You don't want that smoke, fool. Come on. Who who's bringing the heat in your house? You or Nick? 'Cause I want I want No, not me. No. Come on. If you if I if I'm putting if I'm putting the title on the line from this house, it's either Cass or Nick. You can take your pick. You're that confident, huh? Yeah, yeah, for sure. Damn. Do you guys even drift against you? Come on, bro. Do you guys even drift, bro? Do you even drift? What's a drift? Exactly. All right. Next one. Come on, bro. If you want it, you can get it. ⁓ I want it all, brother. I want it all. Okay. Who's the most stubborn? Like you keep telling, hey, you gotta run this. No, hell no. I want to go this way. Hey, come on, this is life or death over here. You gotta listen to me. Who's the most stubborn? The most stubborn in a zombie apocalypse is ⁓ damn. Maybe Laura. Okay. Yeah, if I try to if I try to take the reins, she ain't having it. So she might not be with it. And she is she the type that like, so obviously you're the man of the family, you're making the decisions, but zombie apocalypse, she's ⁓ that ain't that that decision ain't it. Is she gonna tell you, nah, we ain't doing it, or is she just gonna go along with the program because hey, you're the man of the house? Obviously, this is a hypothetical because we haven't had a zombie apocalypse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think I think we have our we have our designated roles. Okay. Like when it comes to violence, it's me. When it comes to sensibility, and when it comes to ⁓ maybe planning, like foraging for food, ⁓ like survival as far as day to day, then that's her. So I'm not gonna overstep that. Okay. But if if if they're coming at us and I'm unloading with the with the twelve gauge. Damn she ain't trying to grab that out of my hands, you know what I mean? Right, right, right. Hell yeah. You I could see you too. Well, you could probably gonna rip your shirt off. ⁓ you're gonna go all out, have slugs up on your no, I'm still gonna rack the gentleman out of his shirt, Doc. ⁓ Well, at least cut the sleeves off, you know what I mean? You can't be fire firing a shotgun with no sleeves. Yeah. Come on, man. All right, how about this one, Unc? ⁓ who's the best under pressure? Who can you count on? Like it don't matter how much pressure, this person's gonna come through. ⁓ That's a tie. Like I said, if it's if it's as far as planning and organizing and trying to get stuff done, blah blah blah, because we have a horde of zombies coming in at the at the compound, then it's her. But if it's like I said, they're coming in and they're hopping the fence and you're taking them out, it's gonna be me. Do you think you would get rattled under pressure or do you think you'd stay pretty calm? I if it's like that, if it's survival, no. No I might get rattled if it's like Like something stupid, like like I said, my anxiety kinda kinda dictates that, but I think when it's fight or flight. Yeah, you're you'll still yeah. It's it's your your your I'm going into it, yeah, for sure. Okay. Who's the most likely to disappear as soon as it starts you gotta do work like, Hey, we gotta fortify this house, we gotta build wood, we gotta do this, and all of a sudden who's gonna slip out the back door? It's either Nick or Natalia for sure. Okay, obvious I mean, that makes sense. The kids, right? Okay. ⁓ ⁓ who's the best comedian in that situation where it's like there's nothing to laugh about, but hey, I can still count on this person. They're gonna they're gonna still try to be if it's not me, ⁓ probably Nick. You or Nick? Yeah. If it's not me, if I'm dead and I'm gone, yeah. Then he's he's stepping up. Okay. ⁓ I I you know what? It would have to be him because he can he can always make his mom laugh. I don't I I don't have that gift. Yeah, I I can make her laugh. eighty five percent of the time he can do probably ninety five percent of that. ⁓ okay. I was gonna ask this one, but I don't even think I need to. I think you already answered it. Who's the best at like planning out what to do? I think you said Laura, right? That she she's better at planning. Wait, who's the best at what? Planning, like planner. Like here's what we gotta do. Like a comes up with the Laura for sure. That's what okay. Yeah, I'm a mess, bro. I'm more I'm not organized. I can't Okay. I might I it might be up here, but to get a pen On a pen and a pad. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's not if she does. And if she comes up with that plan though, you're good at like executing it. Yeah, yeah. Tell me what to do and I'll knock it out. Yeah. Okay. If if you give me if you give me orders or a checklist or or an agenda or a syllabus, whatever you wanna call it, yeah, I can follow it. Perfect. But I'm not drafting any kind of agenda or any kind of syllabus for for anything. Yeah, yeah. Who and this comes into handy, especially in the end of end of times when different groups are fighting and stuff. Who's the best or who would you count on if you guys need to negotiate? ⁓ I I would go Laura. Over you? Yeah. Okay. I'm a sucker. You know you never seem meant to swap me. I pay full price for everything. I didn't even know they had a full price. All right. And honestly, I you're right. For me too, I would say I would seek it myself too, but you're right. I I kind of am a sucker too. I'd probably go with Yeah, I'm a sucker. She can say no. She can hold out. I usually just like all right, I come home with sh Bags of junk that must got popped into. But you were supposed to buy milk. But that got beans instead. ⁓ And that's it, Unc. We have one little extra segment. I thought I had more, but this is what happens when you do a sh a show in the last 20 minutes before it's ⁓ before you start filming. ⁓ the last segment I was gonna do is Uncle Knows Uncle Knows Best. So all jokes aside, we're talking about apocalypse, all that junk. But seriously though, Uncle, how important. are survival skills to you and I'm not just talking about like physical, but like surviving in the workplace, surviv how important are survival skills to you and how important is it to you for you to teach that to your to your kids? ⁓ obviously survivors survival skills are a hundred percent bro. Because if you don't have survival skills, then you don't have the skills to survive. I mean it just that's what it is. That's what it is. You can't sugarcoat it. I I try to I try to teach these kids to the best of my ability. I I don't know how f I don't know how well I've I've succeeded because we thankfully haven't been Right. I I do I do take I do take pride when I teach them something and I see them using it out in the real world or if you teach them I don't even know how to explain it, man. Like you you teach them life skills and then you see them doing them, bro, or or or you don't have to you know what, a lot of it Is when you're like telling them like, hey, don't forget this, or hey, don't do that, or hey, make sure you do this. And it's like when you when you realize like, damn, they just did it, and I didn't even tell them. Right. And it's like, okay, cool. It's it's you know, it's sinking in and that as a parent, I don't think there's a greater gift. I I love it, I appreciate it. I look forward to teaching ⁓ more. Because I mean, I I was taught a lot of stuff, bro, by my dad. I was taught a certain work ethic, a certain, you know, like just you when you when you struggle you learn more, I think, because you you you have to learn or else you're not surviving. And it's so easy now just to do stuff and not teach these kids. But the moment you start teaching them and you you see them like using it on a daily basis or or as as it you know certain situations come up It's like it's reassuring and it's like, damn, like I like I taught ⁓ that. Like that's that's that's great. So I think I think that's probably the biggest like gift. Yeah. and I think I think you have to be a sponge and you just have to absorb it. Even though you don't you don't think you'll need it. 'Cause there's some stuff that I've learned that I've never used again. I've used them maybe once. Right. But then there's stuff like on a daily basis and it's like, dude, like where did I pick this from? ⁓ it's from my dad. Or from my uncle or you know, like stuff that I saw. And you know, or guys at work, and I'm like, damn man, like like that's that's just prices, bro. Yeah. Dang, that's perfect. That's perfect. And I'm just gonna jump in real quick just because like w what you said, 'cause I've been struggling with that too, is like my kids growing up and it's like it's hard because you're the relationship is changing, but I am starting to see now it's kind of cool seeing like them as adults and them doing good or making decis Yeah, functioning like I think they're functioning 'cause of partially 'cause of me. I'm not gonna take all credit. They're teachers and other parents and grandparents and all that. But but it's cool to see your kids starting to form into adults and taking on a lot of the stuff that you taught ⁓ Yeah, it it's it's exciting, bro. It is I didn't think I was gonna like it. Like, ⁓ man, I don't want my kids to grow up. But now I'm starting to like it. Like it's pretty cool, man. It's kinda it's kinda cool to see them Change. ⁓ so that God dang, Uncle, do you ever miss, bro? Do you ever do you ever miss? I'm betting nine twenty seven, bro. Yeah, bro. You're always on base, bro. You leave the league. Leave the league every year. Uncle can't walk a lot, but hey, come on. You're like the Barry Bonds in that steroid steroid era. Uncle, pressure doesn't create character, but it can definitely reveal it. for all you that listening. ⁓ talk to us. Tell us in the comments. Who's who's the MVP, the survival MVP in your family?
