Speaker 1: In the morning. Didn't you do a topic last week
Speaker 1: that pissed off your mom? Yeah? You want to do
Speaker 1: another topic here right now that's gonna piss her off
Speaker 1: even more. This isn't gonna be worse though, because she
Speaker 1: told me don't do it.
Speaker 2: I was going to say I thought she said please don't.
Speaker 3: We talked about it was in a driveway. My grandma
Speaker 3: was there, and I'll tell the mom, like I'm gonna
Speaker 3: do this time. But she's like, Kevin, please don't. I'm like,
Speaker 3: I don't care.
Speaker 1: Can we can we call her and get herund there.
Speaker 1: She does not want to be caught. She does not
Speaker 1: want to be She likes me though, doesn't she like me? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but she don't. She doesn't like this conversation.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, and that's another thing, like people in our
Speaker 3: life got to realize, y'all can't only be glazed, so
Speaker 3: to speak, Like people always want to be put on
Speaker 3: pedestals for the trophy moments, but never for the moments
Speaker 3: that they feel as though they don't aren't viewed in
Speaker 3: the best.
Speaker 1: She only wants to be talking about when it's in
Speaker 1: a very positive situation, and it ain't that.
Speaker 3: And hopefully there are other people out there who will
Speaker 3: call in and admit if they have dealt with similar situations,
Speaker 3: or I would even like to hear from a mother
Speaker 3: or a grandmother that maybe sees themselves on what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So I had a conversation with my mom, and first off,
Speaker 3: let me say this, I absolutely love my mom, and
Speaker 3: my mom doesn't feel as though that I articulate that
Speaker 3: to the masses as much as I do other people.
Speaker 3: But I am not who I am if it wasn't
Speaker 3: for my mom. When my dad was locked up. My
Speaker 3: mom did above and beyond to make sure that we
Speaker 3: still had a connection with my dad, his entire side
Speaker 3: of the family. She took us on trips, took us
Speaker 3: to visit him. She's always worked her off, worked her
Speaker 3: butt up, has always allowed me to do the things
Speaker 3: that I wanted to do in life, acting, taking me
Speaker 3: to auditions, all the things, like I am who I am,
Speaker 3: and largely because of my mom. But I love my grandma, Grandmama,
Speaker 3: which is her mom, Okay, And I love my It's
Speaker 3: Josiah and my Grandma. Those are my two favorite people
Speaker 3: in the world. And my mom is right there. She's
Speaker 3: like it's like the father's son, Holy Trinity. I don't
Speaker 3: want to put, you know, one before the other, but
Speaker 3: you know there is an order, if I.
Speaker 1: Gotta say so.
Speaker 3: So maybe that wasn't the best analogy, but I love
Speaker 3: my grandmother so much, and I do believe my mom
Speaker 3: is jealous of the relationship that I have with my grandmother,
Speaker 3: and it shows my boy oh Mari Sankofi, I think
Speaker 3: he worked for the Free Press, but O Mario had
Speaker 3: did an article on me when the Pistons were in
Speaker 3: the playoffs. And in the article, since it's a sports article,
Speaker 3: I talk about my love for sports where it came from,
Speaker 3: and largely it is because of my grandmother, who set
Speaker 3: me down. We watched all of the sports, all the things.
Speaker 3: I read my mom the entire article. The first thing
Speaker 3: she says is, I guess she ain't say nothing about me,
Speaker 3: just say something about your grandma.
Speaker 1: And that was the straw that bro. Did you even
Speaker 1: say anything about your mom? I did it. It wasn't
Speaker 1: for this article isn't about her. She doesn't. She's not through.
Speaker 3: She's my love for sports. The reason why I was
Speaker 3: bringing up my grandma is because it was the right
Speaker 3: place in time for that, and the first thing, my
Speaker 3: mom is like, Okay, here your grandma and she always
Speaker 3: got so maybe don't.
Speaker 1: Make her voice sound like that she's jealous because she
Speaker 1: won to have that close of a relationship with you,
Speaker 1: or she wants to have that close of a relationship
Speaker 1: with her mother.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's either of it. They have an
Speaker 3: amazing relationship. My mom and I have an amazing relationship.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's just that I don't know, if.
Speaker 3: You know, some people like if they don't get love,
Speaker 3: then they got a problem with it.
Speaker 1: And I feel like it's a little bit of it.
Speaker 2: You always want to be your kid's favorite.
Speaker 1: I will say that I always want to be a
Speaker 1: majority of relationships. So grandma's are different though. Grandparents well,
Speaker 1: because mom says no, grandma says yes, and so there's
Speaker 1: a level of grandma doesn't have to yeah, discipline you.
Speaker 1: That's what I say.
Speaker 2: Is I do think like in this situation, I'm trying
Speaker 2: to put myself in this situation, and if like Lucy
Speaker 2: did a school paper on my mom, I don't think, well,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be as hurt as if she did the
Speaker 2: paper on her dad.
Speaker 4: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my mom. Yeah, I don't. I remember when
Speaker 1: Joey was born. I remember that Chelsea's mom, you know,
Speaker 1: was Joey's everything, and I could tell you that I
Speaker 1: think it did affect Chelse at first because he would cry,
Speaker 1: and he would cry for his grandma. He wouldn't cry
Speaker 1: for his mom, And so there was a level of
Speaker 1: that this isn't old, you know, a case of grandma's
Speaker 1: older you know here, and you know keV does. By
Speaker 1: the way, his grandmother is the matriarch of that family absolute.
Speaker 1: And I think that your mom sees that the hierarchy
Speaker 1: is Queen Elizabeth or Queen Grandmama. And then she's still
Speaker 1: a princess and she's you know, we.
Speaker 3: Love Princess Diana Doll like my mom is amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's just I love my grandma a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you should not. By the way, does your
Speaker 1: grandma liked that you'd say this? You know? So she
Speaker 1: actually thinks.
Speaker 3: We were in the driveway, bro, She's like, my mom like, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: My Grandma's like, but it.
Speaker 1: Is his truth, is his truth, Oh my God? And love.
Speaker 3: And it's not that I don't love my mom, and
Speaker 3: I think I don't know what it is. Just sometimes
Speaker 3: by saying you love somebody else doesn't mean you don't
Speaker 3: love the other person.
Speaker 1: How would your mom feel if, because I know, for
Speaker 1: a while you and your dad did not have the
Speaker 1: greatest of relationships with each other, How would your mom
Speaker 1: feel if she came in third to you to betray Yeah,
Speaker 1: because she for so long? How long would your dad? Probably?
Speaker 1: Like five years? Wow, that's amazing. Think about that, Like,
Speaker 1: I think about that all the time. Think about think
Speaker 1: about if your spot, your spouse is gone for five years. Now,
Speaker 1: you're the breadwinner of the whole family, taking care of it.
Speaker 1: She's making sure that your life doesn't seem any different,
Speaker 1: you know, other than Dad is not there, and she's
Speaker 1: keeping you guys together. I think you should put her
Speaker 1: up on a higher pedestal than you. You love my
Speaker 1: mom so much. That's my girl.
Speaker 2: Oh just grandma's a little pedestals a little higher.
Speaker 1: Steven. How you doing, Hey, I hear going. We're doing okay, Kevin.
Speaker 1: Kevin is just pouring salt in the wound on his
Speaker 1: mom today. What's going on? Well? Hey, I don't believe him. Man, Hey, Ken,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something, bro.
Speaker 4: I was raised about my grandmother too, bro, So my
Speaker 4: grandmother literally took care of me. My mom tried to,
Speaker 4: but she couldn't.
Speaker 2: So just making you emotional to talk about it?
Speaker 1: Huh do.
Speaker 2: You sound like you're emotional talking about it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: A little bit, you know. I mean my grandmother. Uh,
Speaker 4: without her, I don't know where i'd be today.
Speaker 1: So, and Grandma is still alive. Everything's okay, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's still kicking. She's eighty nine years old. Grandma what
Speaker 1: what's her name? Cardinal Carneal? Yep? Okay, shout out Grandma
Speaker 1: car I knew that's hey, appreciate it. It's wonderful to
Speaker 1: know that there is love for you know, the the generations.
Speaker 1: But to go on the radio and say that you
Speaker 1: love somebody more than another person, I don't know what
Speaker 1: it is? My truth?
Speaker 3: Bro?
Speaker 1: What if what if Josiah? What if Josiah said that
Speaker 1: he loves his mom more than he loves you? That's
Speaker 1: that would be his truth. I can't be mad at
Speaker 1: it if that's the case. That's secretly, wouldn't you be
Speaker 1: like hate?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, do your thing? Bro? Who do you think
Speaker 1: he loves more? Probably me?
Speaker 3: I know, I know he loves his mom. I think
Speaker 3: the love is different he has like a I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's almost like it's he naturally loves her more, but
Speaker 3: like in real life, like he loves me.
Speaker 1: YadA, what's up? YadA?
Speaker 3: Hey, Joe, Hey, Kevin, everybody.
Speaker 1: What's happening?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So my mom I have two boys and a girl.
Speaker 3: My mom loved the boys and she always be calling
Speaker 3: my songs her soon.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that was not your son. And my sons.
Speaker 3: And they loved their grandmother too, and they be my
Speaker 3: mother And I'm like.
Speaker 1: I'm your mother.
Speaker 3: Like feeling some type.
Speaker 1: Of way about that.
Speaker 3: It's something about them grandma's and them boys. Man, I'm
Speaker 3: telling you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, maybe that's where from.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I do be feeling some type of way.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Have you ever been pissed off at your mom
Speaker 1: and kept them away from your kids?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: No, I would never do that. I couldn't do that.
Speaker 3: They wouldn't let me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that that would be horrible if you if
Speaker 1: you did that. Amber, what's up? Amber? Hey? What's going on? Okay?
Speaker 3: I just wanted to say that I absolutely agree with Keppen.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but my grandma just
Speaker 3: gets that extra little you know, the actual little people
Speaker 3: love more than my mom does.
Speaker 4: And it doesn't mean that you love your mom even less.
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm not just I'm telling you you
Speaker 1: know what it is. Grandma's are fun. They're the fun parents,
Speaker 1: so to speak. You know, they do all the fun.
Speaker 1: They could be that like mom is.
Speaker 3: She has a lot more on her plate to figure out,
Speaker 3: like the responsibility of being there for you. And then
Speaker 3: Grandma not that she just comes around and it's Christmas
Speaker 3: all the time, but maybe it's a different.
Speaker 1: I think about with the boys when they're around their grandma.
Speaker 1: Their grandma has got energy and she's having fun and
Speaker 1: she's excited to see them. Moms work their asses off.
Speaker 1: They gotta clean, they gotta work for a living, They.
Speaker 3: Got to do all their My grandma don't beat my
Speaker 3: eyes too like a grand.
Speaker 1: Anyway I can. Does she still beat your ass? I'd
Speaker 1: love to see her. She's strong, But I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna call her and ask her to discipline you for
Speaker 1: the things that you say. Initial K wants to be
Speaker 1: voice disguised. Why is that okay?
Speaker 5: Well, just because other people are listeners as well.
Speaker 1: Like Grandma's and moms.
Speaker 5: I think like my mother, my mother and daughter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 5: I just think this generation needs to be more consent.
Speaker 1: They need to be what I'm sorry, said, cognizant of what.
Speaker 5: Of other people's feelings, like their mother's feelings Kevin for.
Speaker 3: Example, So tell me about your situation, because this is
Speaker 3: a reason why you voice the Scott So what's going on?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 5: The reason why is because, like for example, for me,
Speaker 5: my mother and daughter were very close, and I think grandma's,
Speaker 5: you know, are spoiling people. You know, like as a kid,
Speaker 5: your your mom, You're.
Speaker 1: That's what grandma's are.
Speaker 5: Meant from this as an adult, my mother helped my
Speaker 5: daughter plan her wedding. Wasn't it wasn't me as much
Speaker 5: as my mother and my daughter.
Speaker 1: So grandma and daughter, Kevin? Yeah, let me so, let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. When your daughter got engaged,
Speaker 1: who did she call first? You or grandma?
Speaker 5: I think me.
Speaker 1: I'm now, you don't even know, ken, Who would be
Speaker 1: your first phone call? If I got any age you got,
Speaker 1: if you got some big news that you wanted to
Speaker 1: tell somebody, who would you call? My mom? Probably for sure? Okay, good,
Speaker 1: that's good. Oh yeah, just go with it. We'll stay
Speaker 1: with that, stay with that answer. I think that when
Speaker 1: it comes to the priorities, we have to understand, a healthy,
Speaker 1: loving relationship that you have with your grandmother is a
Speaker 1: great thing for your mom to enjoy because that's her mom.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Like it's healthy and even that,
Speaker 1: though my.
Speaker 3: Mom would try to take credit for that, I promise
Speaker 3: you we ended the same conversation to draw is. She
Speaker 3: was like, and you know why that relationship is there
Speaker 3: because I took you, I took you over there. I'd
Speaker 3: be like, dog like I gave her analogy. I'm like,
Speaker 3: it's like an assist. Like the only way the assist
Speaker 3: counse is if I score the goal, Like, yes, you
Speaker 3: took me over there, but we developed our own relationship.
Speaker 1: But you know, you know that, then you know what
Speaker 1: you do. You go, you're right, mom, And then to
Speaker 1: give her mom, I love it, I said she was right.
Speaker 1: I say, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 3: You provided the opportunity in the place, but I still
Speaker 3: had we still have to develop a relationship on just
Speaker 3: show you that why you got to have that.
Speaker 1: Though. Listen, I will say this about Kevin. I'm saying,
Speaker 1: why do you have to have it though, because it
Speaker 1: feeds her. Some people get fed by that. I guess
Speaker 1: start yeah, can I can I say something to you?
Speaker 1: The one thing for the listeners to understand about Kevin.
Speaker 1: Kevin is an amazing son and an amazing grandson. Like
Speaker 1: the stuff that he does for his mom and his
Speaker 1: grandmother working, you know, all the jobs that he does
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. He makes sure he takes care
Speaker 1: of both of those ladies. I love him, but but
Speaker 1: don't pit them against each other. I would never do that.
Speaker 1: You just did on the radio.
Speaker 4: No I did.
Speaker 1: You said your grandmother you love more I do. This
Speaker 1: is a new news. Everybody know that. Everybody know that that. Well,
Speaker 1: I just want your mom to know that I'm a
Speaker 1: mother lover and I love you more so gither way
