  Speaker 1: Welcome to Carefully Reckless, the production of Our Heart Radio
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and the Black Effect. And just like that, we're back
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: with another episode of Carefully Reckless. It's your Girl, just hilarious.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And today I want to talk about fathers. Now listen.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I did an episode about fathers recently, but it wasn't
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: like this. We got Father's Day coming up, and whether
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you are a father or a dad, you deserve to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: be celebrated if you take care of children, whether they're
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: yours or somebody else's. But there are a lot of
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: great dad's out here, So grab your t grabby holes,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: because it's story time now. Growing up, I had a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: family member right who did not know her real dad
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: until she got older, she found him. He did never
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: look for her, but she had someone who took her
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: in as his own child. That was one of her
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: siblings father. When he would come get my other cousins,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: he would come get hurt. Although she was the only
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: one who didn't have her real biological father and her life,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: he took her and he took care of her. He
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: raised her, taught her about her periods, taught her about boys.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, because my mother was absent. So this family
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: member kind of grew up without both biological parents, you know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: in her life. But however, someone who wasn't even really
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: her blood took her in I'm talking about, moved her
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: in with him and her siblings. He could have put
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: her in a foster and he could have put her
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: in a system, but he didn't want to break her
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: up from her siblings just because her father didn't want
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: her and the mother just was doing whatever. Now, this
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: particular family member loves everything about family because she didn't
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: really have a complete one growing up, so family means
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a lot to her now. They can go both ways.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: You could either be generationally cursed and treat your kids
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the same way your parents treated you, or you can
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: make something better. You can break the curse, break the chain,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: break the cycle, and do everything to give your child
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: what you didn't have grown up. And that's exactly what
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: my family member did and is doing still to this day.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Fast forward, she has her child, beautiful little boy. His
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: dad and her are still together. She wanted it like that,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: That's why I took her so long to have a child.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So she set out to find out who our real
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: dad was. You know, she couldn't get the answers from
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: my mother. So she set out to find and she
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: found her other side of the family. And her real
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: father died years ago, so she never got to meet him,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: never got to know him, but she see pictures and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: she see now where she gets her looks from. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: she talks to his side of the family and they
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: tell her about him, and she realized how she relates
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to him in so many ways, and that she was
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: is seeing this as a child. However, her siblings dad,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the one that took her in as his own child,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: showed up to our baby shower. He was there the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: whole time up until he just died recently a year ago.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And then you got to think about it. What makes
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a father a father? So a father is someone who
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: believes that by donating his sperm for your creation, that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: he has done his duty in life. You know what
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I mean. That's what a father is. A dad, however,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: is someone who gets up every day and does whatever
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: he can to put a roof over your head, clothes
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: on your back, food on the table, teach you life lessons,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: pick you up, dust you off, tell you to try
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: again when you fail. To teach you that failure is
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: not necessarily bad, that you need to go through trial
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and error to get that victory. Sometimes a fail is
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a victory because you still tried. That's what a father is.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You know. A dad is a good disciplinarian. You know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: he allows his kids to make mistakes. He's open minded.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: He teaches his children appreciate things. He makes you earn
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: things and makes you work for things. He gets you
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: ready for the real world. The dad is a beautiful
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: person to have in your life. A real dad, a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: good dad, spends quality time with his children. He leads
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: by example. He's supportive and super loyal. I love it.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Having a dad is a beautiful thing. It's it's a major,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a major attribute to your life. It's a major asset
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to your life. That's why I feel for the people
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: who didn't grow up. Not sorry for y'all, but I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: just feel for you all because a lot of people
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: who didn't grow up with their dad very well suffer
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to great lengths. It affects you as a father when
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you become a father, if you didn't have your father,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: it affects you as a mother. If you didn't have
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: your father growing up, it affects you greatly. It affects
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: your relationships that's why I want to send a lot
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of love to the people who didn't grow up with
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a dad, and y'all had to find your own way,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: because it's a lot of y'all who are strong and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: who are strong enough to raise yourself without your dad.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Now we got a commercial, and if you click off
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of this podcast, I swear I'm gonna beat your ass. Listen. Now,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: that's the beauty of having a dad. You don't need
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to be a person's biological father to be a good dad.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And I learned that. I even learned that in my
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: own dad. My dad raised boys around our neighborhood who
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: didn't have fathers. I grew up West Baltimore, West Baltimore City.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Now it was me and my brother for a long
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: time before my little sister got here. My dad that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the best he could do. He got up, he worked
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: every damn day I'm talking about. He wasn't perfect in
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: his marriage, but he was a perfect damn dad. And
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that's what he implemented in my brother. That's what he
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: implemented in the other guys that he raised around the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: neighborhood who are also good dad's. Now, because of my father,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and because of his guidance. He was there
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: for those kids. My dad raised my cousins. I had
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: an aunt who had eight children. Guard Rest her soul.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: She didn't have any of them. She just kept having kids,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: but didn't take care of any of them. One of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: her sons and one of her daughters came to live
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: with me, my mother, my father, and my brother. My
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: father raised one of her boys and one of her girls.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Until this day, my cousin's look at my father as
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a father figure, as their father. You know what I'm saying.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: They don't call him dad, they call him uncle Kevin.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: But still if they need anything, they call him. For
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: their weddings, he walked her down. My father has never
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: been absent in my life, and I can honestly and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: truly say I was raised beautifully by my father. He
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: did a great job. There was no wrong that my
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: father could do in my eyes growing up. So fatherhood
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: really really means a lot to me as it relates
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to me having a father and my dad showing me
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: what fatherhood is to him. I asked my dad, I said,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: what does fatherhood mean to you? Because I knew that
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I was gonna do this podcast episode, you know, leading
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: up to Father's Day, and my dad answered very old school,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: my dad fifty years old. You know that's my best friend.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Y'all know this about me if y'all are avid, just
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: hilarious watchers and listeners, y'all know my dad means the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: world to me. I look just like a period. You know.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: That's where I get my handsome from. You know. He said,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: fatherhood to me is showing love and dedication. Boo Boom,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that's my nickname he called me. My mom calls me pumpkin.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: But this is about dad, so I'm Boo boo right now.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: He said, the best thing about being a dad is
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the pride and raising someone. Knowing that you raised a life,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you chose to have a life, you and your brother
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: were planned. Raising you and your brother to be a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: leader and support your own children made me the best
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: teacher possible. Making my kids somebody made me somebody that
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: meant so much to me. When he said that, he
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't know how that answer triggered some tears, because that's deep,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you know. He said, making us somebody made him somebody.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Men take pride in being dads, you know what I'm saying.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And I feel like there's been this stigma put on
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: black dad's, or they always leave. They never stay. They
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: get you pregnant and they leave. They you know, they
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: don't like paying their child support. They don't, you know.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: But there are a lot of good dads out here, man, Seriously,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: all the good ones are overlooked because we got the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: deadbeat ones. I've been saying, a lot of dads stick up,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you know. I have family members that went to court
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: fighting and still are fighting for full custody of their
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: children or joint custody. My family member who I said
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: didn't have her her father, I commend her, and I
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: commend the man who raised her. I commend her dad,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: not her biological father, her dad. She had three other siblings.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: He took her in, he raised her. Now she's a
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: good mother. She knows what to do because he told
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: her ship that our mother didn't even teach her. I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: love my black Dad's a love of all dads. But
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you the reason why I'm singling out black dads,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I'm subjecting the black dads is because of the stigma
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that they put on our dad's, our fathers, our black men,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: on all of them, when all of them are not
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: bad and even the people who don't have their fathers anymore,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: who fathers are now deceased or or now resting in peace,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: but did a great job while they were here living
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: on this earth. I'm giving a shout out to them
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: as well. And I'm sending love to you guys who
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: don't have your dad's because I know you would give
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: anything to have him back. I wake up and thank
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: God for my father every day because when my family
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: member lost her dad, she was lost. She was upset,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: but at least she knew what it was like to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: have a dad because when she found her real father,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: her biological dad's side of the family told her that
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: he was deceased. She didn't really feel too sad about
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: it because she had already grown up with the father.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But she still didn't want to leave this earth without
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: knowing who her actual, illogical father was. And that's an
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: amazing thing that she didn't let that destroy her finding
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: out that her biological father was actually dead, because she
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: had someone that raised her who was a father figure
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in her life. If you love me, you'll listen to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: this commercial and then we'll be right back. That brings
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: me to just fix my mess, So I asked and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: honor a father's day. Life lessons your dad taught you
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: go and I'm just gonna read a couple off. A
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: lot of them are funny, you know a lot of
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: them are deep. You know, I'm gonna read a couple
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: j Caimbria Chris on Instagram says, my dad taught me
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: if all else fails, be with the nigga that love you,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and not a nigga you love. It's something about that
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that I really really love. The nigga is throwing me off,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: but I love it because she put it cut and dry, straightforward.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Be with the man that loves you and not a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: man that you love. Now I know he means not
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a man that you only love, because love goes both ways.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: If that man loves you equally like you love him,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: loves you the same as you love him, I'm talking
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: about you can't love him more. He can't love you
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: any less than you love him. That's the one you choose.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I definitely get it. Can't being loved by himself. That's
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest lessons that a dad could ever
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: teach his daughter, because that means your dad taught you
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: love already, so you don't have to go seek and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and and and go beg for it from someone else.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Giselle Milan x o x O says, always have your
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: own money stashed the way in case of Nigga act dumb.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Hey yo yo, you're funny is out all right? Just
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: in case of Nigga act dumb. No, I get it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I get it. That's teaching you stability and independence. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: your dad did just that by telling you that. I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: hope you'll following these daddy lessons because they're they're good
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: so far, okay. Stefan James says, you don't need a
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: dad to be great. I agree, and then I don't agree.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: It depends on the person you are, the drive in
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you because, like I said earlier in the episode, a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: lot of people read themselves. A lot of people didn't
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: have it voice because they didn't have fathers. They didn't
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: have dad's either. Everybody doesn't get that opportunity to have
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: someone to guide them and to lead them. So I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: do second that you don't need a dad to be great,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: because my father didn't have a father and he wanted
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to make sure we did. Because he didn't. My dad
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: raised himself and his little sister. Now my grandmother was present,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you know, but she was an alcoholic, you know. You know,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: she was present, but then she wasn't and my dad
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: stepped up and he took care of himself and his
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: little sister. So no, he did not have a father
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: or a father figure for that matter. So I do agree.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Moving on, Shimmy Coco says, my dad taught me not
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to tell anybody what I'm about to do. If I'm
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: gonna leave a nigga, just leave. If I'm a snack
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: a bit, just smack her. If I'm buying a car,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: just buy it. Ship like that, Oh, you're funniest ship.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I don't even have nothing to say about that. Okay,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: just don't tell your left hand with your right hand on.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Don't tell, nor don't put nobody in your business because
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you may a jinks. I guess I don't know. But
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the fly plug Jeremiah on Instagram said, my dad taught
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: me integrity. Great, that's amazing. To have integrity as a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: man is a very honorable thing. And for those who
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: don't know just what integrity means, and there's nothing wrong
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: with that, it's just the state of being whole and undivided.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: You know, the quality of being honest and having moral principles,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: strong moral principles, you know, moral uprightness. That's integrity. That's
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: what a man should always have. You know, if you
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: lack integrity, work on it. But that's what fathers and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: still in their sons, that's what they implement, along with pride.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: You know, they both go hand and had. Young Mills said,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the world ain't gonna love you like I love you.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm whooping your ass. Love my pops. That's
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: like the ultimate dad phrase. Before you get your ass
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: with the world. Ain't gonna love you like I love you.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm whipping your ass. I love it. And
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I bet you are a great man to this day
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: because your pops whipped your ass. A lot of us
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: needed that ship. A lot of us needed that ship.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: My father never laid a hand on me, but he
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: could look at me and put some base in that voice.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: And I was straating my ass up. I did not
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: play with my father, you know. Piff and Wesson said,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: every man for themselves. Okay, your dad was a gangster,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: all right, Okay, your dad taught you every man for himselves. Okay, okay,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: that's in the streets and business and in life period,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: every man for himself. I'll take it. Pokehon is underscore.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Litchell said he wasn't around to teach me, but I
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: learned to never let a man treat me the way
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: he did. I love it. You took the high road
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: and you made a positive out of your negative. You
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: chose to not let a man treat you the way
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: your father treated you because you noticed that you didn't
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: like that growing up, or you know, even as a
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: grown woman, you noticed that you didn't have a strong
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: upbringing as it relates to having a dad. I love
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that you taught yourself a lesson, baby girl. I'm very
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: proud of you. Liquida Bailey says, there is always three
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: sides to a story. Your side, their side, and the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: truth is what my pop taught me amazing life lesson. See,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: that's why it's good to have a dad. They teach
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you awesome life lessons. Grants from d a O said,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: my dad taught me, if you come across, just marry
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: her and keep getting her pregnant. One nigga, look by
• 15:21
