• 0:45
  Speaker 1: All right, you have a closing.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Here's my closing today. I was thinking about this. We
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: kind of talk about it off the air. Parenting is tough, man,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: It really really is, if you're doing a good job
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: of it hard. It's hard to care for somebody. It's
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: hard to watch a person you love and care deeply
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: for make mistakes. It's hard to stay on top of
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: everything to help them through the mistakes, to try to
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: help them avoiding mistakes. It's really tough being a parent, man.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: And then you got to give them enough range where
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: they have the freedom to learn. But then you got
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to have enough restraints so they don't overdo it. And sometimes, man,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you wind up overdoing both. You wind up giving them
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: too much leeway. You wind up sometimes giving them too
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: much restraint. It's a hard job because parentsing don't come
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: with a manual. Ain't a book you can read and
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: says that when they do this, you do that. It
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: don't work that way. Every child is different. All of
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: my kids are different. The way I had to handle
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: them was different. One of the rewards I found about
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: parenting now that my children are older is I find
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: it really cool man that they still want to be
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: around you. If your kids no, No, this is not
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: all the time. Don't get me wrong, man. Now they
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: don't want to do everything with you. They got they
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: circle of friends, they got the spots they want to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: go down. Younger, You're not gonna get invited to everything.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about just
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: occasionally they call and they check on you without wanting nothing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Sometimes man, they just want to come hang out with you.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It's a rewarding thing, man, But you in order to
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: get to that side of it, you got to put
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: time in with your kids. Man. You got to invest
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: in them. You know, I watched Tommy on this show
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: as a father and deal with his kids. How he
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: invested in his kids and the payout is good to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: see his daughters love him, his sons love him. You know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: they ask him questions, they come to him for godless.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I watched Shirley do it with her daughter. I'm watching
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: car and do it with her daughter. It's amazing. They
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: come in there and say goodbye every day on this
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: zoom while we do our radio show. It's amazing. Man.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: You want to have kids that when they do grow
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: up and they appreciative of what you did for him. Now,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: they ain't always and they don't always get it right,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and oftentimes they lack in the appreciation department. But that
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: don't mean you didn't do a good job. Sometimes being
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: a parent is a thankless job. It really is, especially
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: to single mothers. Man, single mothers out there, it is
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: such a thankless job because they have no idea what
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you're doing. They have no idea. Your children are clueless
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to the real sacrifice as you done made, and I
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: know they are. That's why my foundation comes to the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: aid of single mothers who are raising boys by theyself,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: because I know it's a daunting task. So we try
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to take them for five days and kind of give
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: them something else mental to think about and reshape their mind,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and they thinking, and try to give them back a
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: better boy. But it's tough. So many things about parenting
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: is tough. But man, how rewarding is it? Though? Man?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: When my sons go, hey, Dad, you fishing this weekend?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Can I come fish with you? Yeah? Man, how rewarding
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: is it? Man? When your son is getting dressed for
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: an event and he calls you with a friend on
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the other phone. Wentton did this to me last year
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: getting ready for a galo. He was coming to my
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: gala with a friend of his and he was trying
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to tie his tie. The boy had on the wingtip
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: tuxedo shirt, but he wanted to wear a regular tie,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and he asked wanting to tie his tie for him,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and Win couldn't get it straight. The not kept being slanted.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: So he called me. He said, Dad, my buddy Sean
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: got this tuxedo shirt on its got a wing tip
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: on it. I knew what he was talking about, the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: little collar to stick up like a penguin. I said, yeah, man,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: what's wrong? He said, I keep tying the knot, man,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: but it's coming out slanting and it don't look even.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I said, son, you gotta tie a double windsor. He said.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I said, instead of going around once bringing it through
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: like you do on a regular shirt to make a
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: thin knot, you got to make that vnight. So you
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: need a double windsor. He said, hold on, Dad, let
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: me try that. He said, Wow, that worked. He said,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: thanks Dad. I appreciate that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: But he didn't hang up the phone, and I didn't
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: hang up, and I overheard him saying to his boy, Man,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: my dad know everything. He said, I ain't ever called
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: my father and he ain't have an answer for me.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: He has never told me he didn't know. Dude said, yeah, man,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: that's cool. I ain't had that. And that teared me up, man,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: because my son man realizes that I've been there for
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: him like Tommy been there for his son. And that's effective, man.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: So it's a really cool thing. That's one of the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: rewards and parents, or one of the rewards of parenting
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: when you find out that they get it, and sometimes
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: they don't get it till they've grown just hanging there,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: but they will get it. Those are my closing remarks today,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: y'all keep parenting. Stop trying to be their friend, be
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: their parent. It's the most important thing you can do
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: for them. Y'all have a great day today. Talk to God.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: He would absolutely love to hear from you. I'm gonna
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: go fish.
