- 1:06can't get no better than that. I know, right?
- 1:10Shoot, man. Well, let's get the show started,
- 1:12man. We're doing something a little bit different.
- 1:13We're going to start off with a hot topic. That's
- 1:16right. Start it off, my dear. Hot topic. Oh,
- 1:19Lord. All right. So I'm ruining my sister's engagement
- 1:22on purpose because I want her man. Whoa. Yeah.
- 1:26So a woman wrote that her sister had always been
- 1:29the golden child, pretty perfect, praise for
- 1:33breathing. Meanwhile, she was the responsible
- 1:36one, the smart one, the you get your moment someday
- 1:40sister. Then her sister brought him home. The
- 1:45fiance she described him like he was carved out
- 1:48of a romance novel kind funny attentive Emotionally
- 1:53intelligent the type who remembers your coffee
- 1:56order and acts about your day like he actually
- 1:59cares she said the first time he hugged her she
- 2:03felt something she shouldn't have felt and Instead
- 2:07of shutting it down. She fed it Here's where
- 2:11the toxicity goes unclear what goes nuclear.
- 2:15She admitted she's been slowly sabotaging the
- 2:19engagement for months, accidentally telling him
- 2:22things her sister said in confidence, planting
- 2:25doubts about whether her sister is really ready
- 2:28for marriage, bringing up his exes at family
- 2:32dinners, suggesting her sisters might be talking
- 2:35to someone else, telling her sister that he seems
- 2:38unsure, purposely creating tension between them.
- 2:42And the worst one, she kissed him and he didn't
- 2:46pull away. She said it was quick, a moment, a
- 2:51spark, but it was enough to confirm everything
- 2:54she'd been hoping wasn't just in her head. He
- 2:58didn't tell her sister, she didn't tell her sister,
- 3:02and now she's spiraling. The confession ended
- 3:05with, I know I'm the villain. I know I'm wrong,
- 3:09but I also know he's supposed to be mine. And
- 3:14I'm not stopping until he realizes it. Sounds
- 3:18pretty bold to me. Yeah, I ain't feeling that.
- 3:23That sounds crazy. Yes. That sounds crazy. But
- 3:27I think that happens more time than often. I
- 3:31think women do that shit a lot. You see somebody
- 3:35else in their situation and then you jump you
- 3:38Oh, I feel a spark the fuck kind of spark you
- 3:41feeling or somebody You don't even know you've
- 3:43never met before Right and you all of a sudden
- 3:46you got a spark and now this is what we're doing
- 3:49now, that's crazy to me But I'm pretty sure it
- 3:53happens more time than yes. Yes. I think it does
- 3:55So the question is have you ever caught feelings
- 3:59for someone you knew you? shouldn't have I don't
- 4:07know like I don't know that's weird that you
- 4:09shouldn't have um Because you're really I guess
- 4:12it depends. Yeah, you know I mean, yeah, you
- 4:15know, I mean like I Married someone I probably
- 4:18shouldn't have my first marriage like so I guess
- 4:21I call feelings for someone I shouldn't have
- 4:23but it's not like she was with anyone Yeah, yeah,
- 4:26you know I'm saying it wasn't it just wasn't
- 4:27compatible enough We'll you know in in the totality
- 4:31of things weren't compatible enough. Yeah, but
- 4:34just uh I've never been that guy that was like,
- 4:37yo, if that's your girl, that's your girl. Like,
- 4:39I'm not, you know what I'm saying? Especially
- 4:40not nobody I know. You know what I'm saying?
- 4:42If I don't know you, I don't owe you anything.
- 4:44You know what I'm saying? My loyalty ain't to
- 4:47you. You know what I mean? That's her loyalty.
- 4:50Her loyalty should have been to you. So that's
- 4:53never been the case. But just like any homies,
- 4:58I've never paid attention to none of the homies'
- 5:00girls enough to even. Yeah. Acknowledge anything
- 5:03about them, so. Because that would be breaking
- 5:05code. Yeah, that and just. It ain't right. That
- 5:09shit's just corny. Yeah. There's too many women
- 5:11out here to be eyeballing another man's shit.
- 5:14You're right. That's supposed to be your people.
- 5:16Yeah. You know what I mean? Absolutely. But y
- 5:17'all are snakes like that. Yeah. Yeah. And women
- 5:21are snakes. I'm not going to go into details,
- 5:23but there have been a time where. I'm not going
- 5:28to say catch feelings, because it never really
- 5:30was about feelings. But why would you do it?
- 5:34I don't know. It was kind of just like a spur
- 5:36-of -the -moment thing. So I've kind of been
- 5:39dealing with someone who has been with someone
- 5:42in my life. Just for a short moment. So I guess,
- 5:51like you say, it happens more than you think
- 5:53it does happen. And it does. But it's never been
- 5:59my sibling or anything like that. I think that's
- 6:02- But it was somebody you knew? Yeah, it was
- 6:04somebody I knew. It was somebody I knew and somebody
- 6:07who I was close with at the time. See, y 'all
- 6:10tell y 'all, Snakey done a motherfucker. Now,
- 6:12I must admit, for me, okay, yes, we know they
- 6:18say, you know, men cheat a lot, okay? But in
- 6:21reality, I think it's women who does that the
- 6:25most. Because women are more sneakier with it.
- 6:29Or y 'all think y 'all are. A lot of times we
- 6:33know. I think a lot of dudes know their partner
- 6:37and know their partner will do some shit like
- 6:40that. If you're willing to overlook certain things
- 6:43that you know is going on. I knew my ex -wife
- 6:46cheated on me. But at the same time... I was
- 6:50cheating on her. So it wasn't really no situation
- 6:54where it was like, all right, until we both got
- 6:58a little too reckless with this shit, that's
- 7:01when it's like, yeah, niggas got too comfortable,
- 7:03that's when it was like, all right, we wildin'.
- 7:05You know what I'm saying? But outside of that,
- 7:08I ain't gave a fuck. You know what I'm saying?
- 7:11I say all the time, that's the only relationship
- 7:13I was loyal to. I think I can pretty much say
- 7:18the same. So, I did a lot of, I ain't really
- 7:22a lawyer to nothing but myself for a long time.
- 7:25Yeah. So, you know what I mean? I feel that.
- 7:28Yeah, shit be real. Yeah, now you're right. Shit
- 7:31be real. And that's corny. That can be corny
- 7:34as hell, but. It's how corny it is. That's life
- 7:37right there. That's life, man. Right. I don't
- 7:40think a lot of people will admit that. I don't
- 7:43think a lot of dudes will admit that. No, you
- 7:47know I'm saying that you know, they were they
- 7:49were a lot of people But I'm gonna go dudes because
- 7:53I'm a male and I know men I don't think a lot
- 7:56of men will admit the fact that they have they
- 7:59Probably only had one Relationship where there
- 8:05were no infidelity from them like they was true
- 8:08like yo, this is why I want to be This is why
- 8:10I want to do I think a lot of dudes are front.
- 8:12No, man. I've been real to every It's only only
- 8:16cheated one time You know, they'll never admit
- 8:22that they probably know relationship they cheated
- 8:24on everything and then cheating is relative So
- 8:27it's whatever you and your partner Dean to be
- 8:30cheating So sexually intercourse with someone
- 8:32else could be cheating for some they may not
- 8:34be cheating for others Having an intimate conversation
- 8:37could be cheating for some maybe not cheating
- 8:39for others. You know, I mean, yeah So yeah, it's
- 8:43different level. Yeah, it's definitely different.
- 8:45I guess it all boils down to what you feel about,
- 8:50you know, how you think it is. For the most part,
- 8:52I try to always be upfront with things. Yeah.
- 8:54You know, saying where it was like, you know,
- 8:56especially if I haven't really just dated date
- 8:59like I've I'm a serial dater. I am that, but
- 9:02I've never just. Just stated I like I had long
- 9:07-term relationships, but I'm not dating a whole
- 9:09bunch of people Yeah, you know I'm saying like
- 9:11it wasn't always I'm always in a bunch of relationships
- 9:13with a bunch of people You know me and right
- 9:16you know me so I've either been in long -term
- 9:18relationships that I probably shouldn't have
- 9:20been in that so fucking long I should have damn
- 9:22exit state right or I was in relationships with
- 9:25with a person you know with people or a person
- 9:28that just No, they just overlooked everything.
- 9:33Yeah, you know I'm saying they overlooked everything
- 9:35There was no pushback on nothing. It was whatever
- 9:38you want to do You can do type shit and I ain't
- 9:42the person to tell that to yeah, could you tell
- 9:44me whatever I could do? I can do I'm you know,
- 9:47I don't it was a point of time where I'm gonna
- 9:48do it and at that time I was around a Mix of
- 9:53people well, I could get off whatever I wanted
- 9:56to get off. You know, I mean so it's like you
- 9:59got it you got like for for myself you got to
- 10:02draw that shit in like I Purpose purposefully
- 10:06don't be in a whole bunch of places. That's gonna
- 10:08that's gonna make me think about doing something
- 10:10Wow You know I'm saying yo, you can't put yourself
- 10:13in you got you can't do it. You can't put yourself
- 10:16You can't put a lion in a den full of fucking

- 10:21might not eat something He's gonna eat something
- 10:24something he gonna bite on I just don't put myself
- 10:27around that shit. You're right, you're right.
- 10:30I've been in only like, I'ma just say three relationships.
- 10:34One, y 'all know I ain't even claiming, but that
- 10:37was the first time I ever got married, okay?
- 10:39I hate it, but I gotta do it because it is a
- 10:42part of my past. So, the second one was where,
- 10:48yeah, I was in a close relationship with someone,
- 10:50we even lived together. And then, I have this
- 10:55one where we are now. It was one more between
- 10:58us. No, no, we're gonna count it. You think so?
- 11:02I think so, I'm counting. Okay, all right. You
- 11:04gotta count it. Okay, just for that simple fact
- 11:07then. You gotta count it though. All right, only
- 11:08three. We're not doing that. You're gonna count
- 11:11it. So before me, it was three real. It was a
- 11:14three real before me. You gotta count it. No,
- 11:17two. Two before you. Three, you gotta count it.
- 11:20You gotta count it. You was with some before
- 11:22you left to come with me. You gotta count it.
- 11:25Fuck that shit. You gotta count it. You gotta
- 11:27count it. You gotta count it. I count all mine.
- 11:31You know what I mean? All my real relationships.
- 11:33My relationships that I was in the dating phase.
- 11:37You know what I mean? I count mine. Two back
- 11:40at home, one I spawned a child with. One, I spawned
- 11:45a child, my first spawn, you know what I mean?
- 11:50And one, which I say shouldn't count, but before
- 11:54college, it was like, I'm in college, you know
- 11:56what I mean? Okay, boom. That one, then when
- 11:59I came to Florida, three, only three. Three in
- 12:07Florida. And one, I did two wrong. And one, One
- 12:13I married and the other one was like whatever
- 12:17Didn't you yeah, so five Like real long -term
- 12:26yeah, we doing so yeah, yeah Between those five
- 12:31it was some some sketchy Yeah, some clear water.
- 12:36No, it was clear to me It might not be clear
- 12:40to everybody else, but it was clear to me. I
- 12:42played ball overseas, I was out here doing some
- 12:46things, such as overseas, came back. Shoot. Okay,
- 12:52okay. I'm gonna move on that way. Let's move
- 12:55on. All right, so attraction, right? Uh -huh.
- 12:58Does it become wrong the moment that you acknowledge
- 13:01it? You know that you are attracted to someone.
- 13:04Right. Does it come wrong at that moment when
- 13:07you realize that? But is it with that person
- 13:09that you shouldn't be with? Yes. Yes. Good. Yep.
- 13:13Yep. Soon as you acknowledge it, you know it's
- 13:14wrong. Because some people acknowledge it and
- 13:16still go past that, knowing that it is wrong,
- 13:20but still go and do it. I think as soon as, especially
- 13:23if both of you acknowledge it, and both of you,
- 13:26you've had that conversation, you've already
- 13:29done too much now. We have gone to the spot of
- 13:33almost no return. because now you both acknowledge
- 13:37that there is some chemistry and then that person
- 13:40that's close to y 'all, that could be fucked
- 13:42up. Yes. Yeah, because there's definitely no
- 13:46longer fair for that other person no more. Yeah.
- 13:48Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. That's crazy. Why?
- 13:53What made you think about that? What you thinking
- 13:55in mind? No, I'm not really thinking anything
- 13:58specifically, but it's just the whole thing of...
- 14:04Like I say, I know it kind of like happened to
- 14:07me once, but now with me being older and like
- 14:14really in a relationship that I really care about
- 14:17and that I love being in, I don't see myself
- 14:22in that state anymore. I don't know, I guess
- 14:25it kind of depends on the person. I mean, some
- 14:28people are heartless and they want what they
- 14:30want, no matter who the person is. Especially
- 14:32if you go by that story. That person was easy
- 14:35to easy to manipulate others. Yeah. And then
- 14:38the others were too easy to accept her manipulation.
- 14:42Yeah. That's crazy to me. Yeah. To me, that should
- 14:45be OK in our in our marriage. There should not
- 14:48be one person that could come in here and manipulate
- 14:50you and manipulate me at the same time. I agree.
- 14:56They should not be able to come in and manipulate
- 14:58us at all. But to come in and and now you You
- 15:03die you you um plant seeds of doubt within our
- 15:07whole relationship because you over here Yeah,
- 15:10one I wouldn't let no one come in that close
- 15:13Right to tell me nothing about you. Yeah, that's
- 15:17one Especially if we're in the getting married
- 15:19stage We've to me especially for luck like us
- 15:22we got married We was at that state when we were
- 15:25when I proposed and you said yes, and we decided
- 15:28to get married we were at that stage to me where
- 15:31It was no doubt. This was what we wanted to do.
- 15:33That bond was already solidified. Right. Right.
- 15:36You know what I'm saying? We've had shaky moments,
- 15:38but also once that happened, it was like, boom,
- 15:42we hit to let someone come in and to plant seeds
- 15:49of doubt to make me think otherwise of you. That
- 15:52means to me, this relationship was never on the
- 15:55right path from the beginning. It was never set
- 15:59to win from the beginning. and you also now they're
- 16:04they're they're planting seeds of doubt for you
- 16:05and now you're feeding into it now we're beefing
- 16:08constantly it's constantly something constantly
- 16:11something and now i'm so vulnerable that this
- 16:14person comes up and kiss me or you're so vulnerable
- 16:16that that person comes up and kiss you and i'm
- 16:20just okay with and i'm just cool with it it was
- 16:22already some issues there was some doubt there
- 16:24already yeah that we didn't hash out before we
- 16:27decided that we're gonna make this move yeah
- 16:31You're right. You know what I mean? Yeah, I agree.
- 16:35That's what it looked like to me from just even
- 16:37the story alone. Yeah. When it's too easy for
- 16:40somebody to come in and take something from you,
- 16:44it probably wasn't fully yours. It wasn't fully
- 16:46yours from the gate. Yeah. It wasn't fully yours
- 16:49from the gate. Because I know I love you. Right.
- 16:53I'm not about to let anybody. Come into this
- 16:57it just slide in in the light. I'm gonna do it.
- 16:59Yep. We gonna have to fight figure. Yeah me and

- 17:14problem family letting family come in Sister

- 18:24of my shit like that. Have restrictions. I love
- 18:27you, but you got to stay over here. Yeah, I agree.
- 18:30I know everything. Yeah. Yeah. This is me. OK.
- 18:34All right. Well, do you think emotional cheating
- 18:36can be accidental or is it always intentional?
- 18:41Yeah, it could be. I think it would be accidental.
- 18:43You could not know you're emotionally cheating.
- 18:45Yeah, that's true. You could just get caught
- 18:46up in the sauce. Yeah. You can get caught up
- 18:50in the sauce. You're right. Our case in point,
- 18:51we've talked about our situation before. I just
- 18:54got caught up in the sauce in the communication
- 18:56with someone. That's all caught up in the sauce.
- 18:58We were not nowhere near on the same page. We
- 19:00just had our first son. You were going through
- 19:03postpartum. I got super into my work just being
- 19:06at the studio, nine to five studio, nine to five,
- 19:09and then someone came in the picture and I was
- 19:11overly talking with this person. Where it could
- 19:13have went another way, you know what I mean?
- 19:15Something could have happened. That wasn't intentional.
- 19:18It wasn't something I'm looking for. A person
- 19:20wasn't even my style of person. You know what
- 19:22I'm saying? But shit like that happens because
- 19:26you let certain emotional things happen where
- 19:31you're like, oh shit, you know what I'm saying?
- 19:33And you don't then don't look at it in a way
- 19:36like that. I personally think that can happen.
- 19:39It can be. And especially if you're in a kind
- 19:43of emotional state already. not per se vulnerable,
- 19:49but when you're not really 100 % into your situation,
- 19:54you got some things going on, sometimes it can
- 19:57be easy for somebody to come in and just talk.
- 20:01Because most of the time, that's what it is.
- 20:02You just want somebody to listen and talk to,
- 20:05and it's easy for that. But you will never know
- 20:09that other person. person's intentions. You know
- 20:12yours, and then it just happens to, you know,
- 20:15form. Sometimes spiral. You can let it spiral
- 20:17and then fuck up. But yeah, no, that's a fact.
- 20:21It can be accidental sometimes, yeah. Yeah, I
- 20:24think it can. I definitely think it can. That's
- 20:27just me. People out there might say they wrong,
- 20:29it can, but no, I think it can. Yeah, it can.
- 20:33I mean, things happen all the time. When your
- 20:38emotions take over and it's just, people be in
- 20:45relationships and things don't work out, things
- 20:47is not going the way that they want it to go.
- 20:53And you're talking to other people, not necessarily
- 20:57always pillow talking, but you have someone that's
- 21:00always there and they can, You can talk to them
- 21:03about things you can't talk to your person that
- 21:05you're having a problem with. At the moment,
- 21:07right. It'll be easy to fall into, you know,
- 21:10a little trap like that. Yeah. Yeah. I can see
- 21:12that. I can definitely see that. Yeah. That shit
- 21:14happens. Happens every day, B. Yeah, it does.
- 21:18Whether you know it or not. Right. Yeah. All
- 21:21right. Well, do families accidentally create
- 21:24competition between siblings? Hell yeah. It ain't
- 21:27accidental. But hell yeah. I don't think it's
- 21:30accidental. I don't think it's accidental at
- 21:33all. I think certain parents, certain family
- 21:36members, it's intentional. Yeah. You know what
- 21:39I mean? Yeah. I agree. And then certain siblings
- 21:44could fall into the, or cousins or stuff like
- 21:48that could fall into the, yeah. I am better.
- 21:53I am. I should be the one be praised. I should
- 21:57have that. It's my right to have that. It's not
- 22:00your right to keep it. You know saying it's a
- 22:03sense of entitlement to some shit. That's yours
- 22:06Yeah, and there's some family members. Yeah,
- 22:10some family members feed into that a sense of
- 22:12entitlement Because they don't have to deal with
- 22:14that they because but they also feel that sense
- 22:16of entitlement They also kind of the same way
- 22:19as that person. Yeah We've seen it, we've seen
- 22:27it. Yeah, and that happens a lot more than you
- 22:30think. That happens a lot, yo. That happens a
- 22:32lot. Yep. All right, well, does being the golden
- 22:38child or the forgotten child shape how you love?
- 22:42Yeah. What you think? I say yeah. I don't know
- 22:49about the golden child, but the forgotten child.
- 22:52Yeah. I think it can. Because you think your
- 22:56your love is only the love that you receive is
- 22:58predicated on what you can do for others Yeah,
- 23:00then you constantly chasing that love or that
- 23:04that that sense of love so you start doing everything
- 23:07for others including the people you attach yourself
- 23:10to Emotionally start doing shit and then and
- 23:14then you're just constantly doing shit, right?
- 23:18And then you're realizing you're doing all that
- 23:20and it's like for what for what? Yep, and then
- 23:23you know sometime you still feel that. Yeah,
- 23:25it's not You know where it should be exactly.
- 23:29Yeah That's my thought I could be wrong what
- 23:32you think I think for me the only I Don't know
- 23:41and I don't even know I can say that Shaped the
- 23:47way I love I think I kind of Figured it out on
- 23:51my own right because like my parents they never
- 23:55were married right so the only Relationship that
- 23:59I've seen grown up, you know, of course, you
- 24:02know, my grandparents right and then you know
- 24:04uncles but I Guess when it comes to like father
- 24:12and daughter, right? Okay I can say now that
- 24:17I have a pretty good relationship with my father.
- 24:21And it was times in my life where, cause he does
- 24:24have other kids, so it were times in my life
- 24:27where I'm like, I'm the oldest, I feel like I
- 24:32should get certain treatments too, what others
- 24:35get. But I understand they lived in a house with
- 24:40him, so. They're basically kind of like automatic
- 24:44the first time. But as I got older, I kind of
- 24:48realized that. And as I do get older, he does
- 24:54realize, too, like what I am to him, like he
- 24:58knows and he understands things. And I know that
- 25:00he listens to me as well, too, because I see
- 25:03it repeats itself. So he does listen to me. But.
- 25:08It didn't shape the way that I love. It didn't.
- 25:12I think I kind of developed that on my own. Right,
- 25:15but you're more grounded. You can case appoint
- 25:17your grandparents. Your grandparents helped you
- 25:18with that. You know what I'm saying? Made you
- 25:20more grounded, made you, you know what I'm saying?
- 25:24You know what I mean? Yeah, I didn't have to
- 25:27wonder how, do what. I really didn't see too
- 25:32much and have to wonder of. is this how you do
- 25:35this? Is that how I'm supposed to be treated?
- 25:39Or is that how I'm supposed to treat him? Or
- 25:41whatever, thing like that. Yeah, I was a little
- 25:45more grounded. I know for me I had to figure
- 25:47out to be a man. I had to teach myself to be
- 25:50a man by watching other men that I wanted to
- 25:53be like. And over time that helped me, even fatherhood
- 25:58that helped me. My daughter wasn't able to see
- 26:00that part of me coming up, do the woes of What's
- 26:05in the black community all the time baby mama,
- 26:07baby, baby mama, baby daddy shit, you know I'm
- 26:10saying And so my daughter wasn't able to see
- 26:13that she's able to embrace and see that knowledge
- 26:16and stuff now You know I'm saying as um, you
- 26:18know from a teenager, you know high teenager
- 26:21to you know grown adult right now So she was
- 26:25able to kind of see like the man that I am and
- 26:28see, you know to certain you know, see the The
- 26:33great thing is about me as a father and stuff
- 26:34like that. Yeah, you know, Sean Yvonne, their
- 26:38whole shaping is me. You know what I mean? What
- 26:41they what they see as a man. So what they think
- 26:44and what they get firsthand experience. Oh, my
- 26:46dad does this. My dad does that. This is what,
- 26:50you know, I've seen my father do. I know I got
- 26:53to live up to certain expectations. I got to
- 26:55do certain things to as a as a man. Like when
- 26:58I hear women say as a man you should you're not
- 27:00a man. You can't be telling men what they should
- 27:02be doing as a man I'm sorry. I don't give fuck
- 27:05what your dad used to do ma 'am. I'm sorry I
- 27:08just really don't don't care what your dad used
- 27:10to do. You can't tell a man what he should be
- 27:13doing as a man I'm sorry, you know, I mean, I
- 27:15wish I would stop doing that stupid shit, but
- 27:18y 'all probably won't Never stop, you know, I
- 27:22mean but as another man Can or can't to another
- 27:29man or a young man? Hey, this is what we do and
- 27:33show it So that's what I do for my boys. I show
- 27:35it. You know saying my daughter see how Her father
- 27:40biological father is with her stepmother and
- 27:43then she see her stepfather how her stepfather
- 27:47is with her biological mother. You know what
- 27:50I'm saying? And she says all the time, she's
- 27:52like, y 'all have similar qualities. Like y 'all
- 27:55are actually very similar in many ways. You know
- 27:59what I mean? And how y 'all treat y 'all women
- 28:01and how y 'all do things. And I think that's
- 28:03a great thing that now she's able to see how
- 28:08men are from two different perspectives. You
- 28:11know what I'm saying? From two different perspectives
- 28:13she can see that. So she can say herself, oh,
- 28:16I know how I want my man to be what she is carving
- 28:19out now. You know what I'm saying? And she don't
- 28:21come just always run into her father. She don't
- 28:23go, my dad, my dad, my dad. She tried to figure
- 28:25that shit out before she called either one of
- 28:27us. You know what I'm saying? I know she tells
- 28:29me. She says, I try to figure out before I call
- 28:31anybody. You know what I mean? Right. She tried
- 28:34to figure it out. I can't figure it out. then
- 28:37one of my daddies are gonna be able to figure
- 28:39this out for me. And that's true. You know what
- 28:43I mean? I can respect that. I may not talk to
- 28:48the son, and he don't talk to me, but I can respect
- 28:50what he's doing. I hope he can respect the same
- 28:52on my end. But when it comes to Sean and Vaughn,
- 28:56I don't want them to have to go do what I did
- 29:00to figure this shit out. I don't want them to
- 29:02have to go into the world and Pick pieces and
- 29:05try to have the wherewithal to pick pieces from
- 29:08men that they see The mold themselves into the
- 29:12man that they want to be I don't want them to
- 29:14have to do that So I want them to be able to
- 29:16look at their dad and say yo with my dad flaws
- 29:18I know my dad flaws is I know all my dad greatness
- 29:21is I know I love all of this about my dad. It's
- 29:25not just enough I have his face. I also want
- 29:27to make sure I'm responsible and do what I'm
- 29:30supposed to do. You know what I mean? And I see
- 29:34that, especially with St. Sean. He's the oldest.
- 29:38And I'm starting to feel a little way now because
- 29:41I see he's getting older and he is growing into
- 29:45such a young man with him helping me in the salon.
- 29:51Drilling stuff in a wall for me, you know, or
- 29:55you know, he put his own TV and stuff You know,
- 29:59he he ain't wait for me No, and we thought I
