WEBVTT - It's Time To Go!

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>There comes a point in every relationship when the grandparents

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>ain't so grand no more.

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:13.400
<v Speaker 2>It's time. That's a sound bite, dead ass.

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 4>It all started with real talk, unfiltered, honest and straight

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:21.160
<v Speaker 4>from the heart. Since then, we've gone on to become

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.639
<v Speaker 4>Webby award winning podcasters in New York Times bestselling authors.

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Dead Ass was more than a podcast for us.

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 5>It was about our growth, a place where we could

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 5>be vulnerable, be.

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Wrang or, but most apportly be us.

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 5>But as we know, life keeps evolving, and so do we,

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 5>and through it all, one thing has never changed this.

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Because we got a lot to talk about.

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Story time, I got a funny story for y'all.

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 4>And the funny thing is it really don't got much

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.559
<v Speaker 4>to do with the grandkids, and they got more to

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 4>do with the grandparents and the parents. Kadeen and I

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 4>had come home from traveling. I forgot exactly where we

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 4>come home from traveling from. But Kadeen always has the

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 4>cleaners come and clean up before we come back from traveling.

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 4>And one of Kadeen's big rules is that she likes

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 4>to have the countertops clear. So we walk in the

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 4>house after traveling. We was going for about four days.

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 4>Cleaners was here on Friday, which means we came back

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 4>on like a Tuesday. We walked back in the house

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 4>on a Tuesday. Mom is there greeting us. The kids

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 4>has already sleep because it's late at night, and Kadeen

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 4>walks into the kitchen and I'm hungry because we always

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 4>travel late. I walk in there, I'm like, oh, snap,

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 4>we got curry goat because Mom made my favorite curry goat.

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 4>She made the curry go she's preparing the curry goat.

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 4>Kadeen is gone. I don't know where Kadeen at. So

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm sitting there awaiting, like I'm away for Kadeen to come.

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Back to eat. So I'm sitting there, food getting cold

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>now because Kadeen ain't coming back.

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 4>I go back in the back room. Kadeen already in

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 4>the shower, like was she getting ready for bed? And

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, okay, you ain't gonna eat. She goes, I

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 4>cannot go in that kitchen with them counters looking the

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 4>way they are and eat anything out of that kitchen.

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 4>So I was like, you're not gonna eat nothing. She

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 4>looks at me and she says, I've been eating, not

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 4>having my counters clean for six years. I'm tired of

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 4>eating it, and she went to sleep. Now me, I

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 4>went back and got I'm sure I was hungry, but

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 4>it was in that moment I realized, uh, oh, I

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 4>think something is happening right underneath my nose, and I

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 4>better get ahead of it before it gets ahead of me.

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:38.519
<v Speaker 1>Karaoke.

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 4>In honor of that happened, I got a song, and

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 4>it's in honor of all things Jackson right now, because

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:48.360
<v Speaker 4>that's been on my brain.

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Pause. But this song is perfect for what I'm thinking.

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 4>It thoughts like this then and and and then then

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 4>and don't want your man beat it.

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's point.

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 2>That's see. Mine was gonna be a little softer, you

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying. Mine was going to be moving.

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 6>On up to the side.

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 5>And this guy, Sorry, y'all, I'm getting off of a

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 5>side of affection. So if I sound crazy, just knowing

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 5>that's what it is. These Georgia alities are killing me.

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 5>But I was thinking that because aside from the fact

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 5>beat it is definitely very much, you know, trend, it's

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 5>on trend exactly what his.

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Top five songs are all trending on Billboard.

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, that's all the kids have been mis Cairo

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 5>is literally breaking down choreography eight count by eight count.

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing to see. But yeah, I'm thinking.

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 5>I thought of that song because I'm excited and really happy,

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 5>genuinely that both of our parents are going to have

0:03:55.840 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 5>the opportunity to purchase themselves their dreams.

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 4>And that's we're doing the whole podcast about helping the parents, yeah,

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 4>get set up for retirement. So we're gonna do a

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 4>whole podcast about that. But this one is about them

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 4>not moving on up and moving on out.

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 5>For sure.

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're back.

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:17.239

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 7>These are not gonna have anything to do with today's topic. Okay,

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 7>because I love me, me and Papa.

<v Speaker 1>You know, we all do, we all.

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 7>So here's one thing. This is not really Oper no Op,

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.280
<v Speaker 7>but I was on Instagram the other day and remember

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 7>the Dead Ass Tour.

0:04:58.880 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Baby.

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:04.359
<v Speaker 7>Yes, she's like talking now, she's a humanity.

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>I think I think her name is Jordan. Is Jordan?

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 5>I don't so I still follow it. It is okay

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 5>because that was I still follow on Instagram.

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>She should be almost two.

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, she's a year and a half.

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 5>It seems Oh my goodness, shout out to our podcast

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:20.239
<v Speaker 5>or baby.

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that was such a good moment. That's probably definitely

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 2>top five.

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>That's if I wanted top five moments.

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 5>What everybody else's like, top top moment in our podcasting tour?

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Can you think of one that was like an insane one?

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>The number number number one for me would have to

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 1>be hit that man finding out that he was having

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>another baby, Like when I saw on his face and

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 1>he was so excited.

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 4>And the reason why it was important to me is

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 4>because during the time, it's twenty twenty four, gender wars

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.799
<v Speaker 4>were at his peak, and it was all this conversation

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:53.919
<v Speaker 4>about men not wanting to be around their families and

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 4>not wanting to you know, and where these men aren't,

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 4>here's this guy begging and pleading his wife that they

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 4>want to. It just felt so good that in real

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 4>life we get to see something different than what we

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 4>were seeing in the digital space.

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>It just really felt so good to see that. That's

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>number one for me. Number two yeah, I would have.

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.920
<v Speaker 6>To say Josh's surprise Bailiff.

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>That was that was mad funny.

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 5>I think we might keep that, like if we do

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.919
<v Speaker 5>decide to like do another show or something.

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Which I like that ass court.

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.559
<v Speaker 4>It was fun to Three for me is definitely watching

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 4>Kadeen's dong get swallowed.

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 5>Was so stupid chair we did not know it did

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 5>not a chance.

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 7>You got to see it on TikTok so oper no

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 7>op on this. This is something I came across the

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 7>other day on threads. There's a couple. It's an Asian

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:55.039
<v Speaker 7>South Asian husband maybe he's like Indian or Pakistani maybe

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 7>and a black wife. And the caption was the video

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 7>was just them too effort. And the caption and the video.

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 6>Was it took us twelve years to make curry fried chicken.

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 7>And then they introduced a baby. They were referring to

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 7>they had a baby again.

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I get curry.

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 4>It's like watermelon eggro Yeah.

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 2>My girl asked because her husband.

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>And Asian Cambodian. Ye, her name is watermelon.

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>That is adorable.

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I have. First, I was, I was thinking about curried chick.

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Why would you do that?

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 3>Who?

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 4>Like?

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Who does that?

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 5>And even when you get say, for example, fried chicken

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 5>at the takeout spot, you get still gravy on the right,

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 5>you don't really get carry curry.

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 3>Ever put curry gravy.

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 8>But I'm not opposed to curry fried chicken.

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Though I was.

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 6>I was waiting to see a plate of chicken.

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>See, but here's my thing.

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 3>I want.

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I want to know what that is. And I'm gonna

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 1>ask y'all because y'all are truly Jamaican.

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 4>When I get curry gold and I get fried chicken

0:07:58.200 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 4>on the same plate, I don't want them to touch.

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Like flavors are so unique in what they are. So

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking y'all because I don't touch, don't don't have

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>my curfry go touch my fried chicken.

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 7>My question is what scenario would you be eating both

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 7>curry goat and fried chicken.

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving?

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>For sure? Yeah yeah every time. Yeah, there is a

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>fried chicken, there's a roast beef, there's a curry chicken,

0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>there's a curry goat, there's a lasagna.

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's like a staple, like you kind of have

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:34.439
<v Speaker 5>to have something curry, wh.

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 3>What type of event everybody not getting? Still expensive?

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 5>Definitely chicken. I'm like, what holiday is coming up next day?

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 2>We can make the spread.

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>You gotta cook. I'm not letting that go.

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Christmas, Thanksgiving? You were here.

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 6>Thanksgiving, y'all don't eat pork.

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Not really kind of America to starty pork?

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 7>I did. I never because last night I made lasagna

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 7>and I made the sauce from scratch, everything from scratch,

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 7>and I was gonna bring it, but it has it

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.560
<v Speaker 7>has a lot of cheese, and it has no bring it.

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 6>It has pork.

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Por sauage. Yeah, your dad like that with I Italian.

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, taste so good with pork sauage. And

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I just can't. I can't do it anymore.

0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 4>Like all of these reports coming out about our pork

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 4>being banned in like one hundred and seventy five countries,

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 4>it kind of makes you wonder, like, then, why are

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 4>we allowed to eat.

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 3>This farm a whole different story.

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I said, some drunk pork from

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 4>if pork. But we cut bacon, We cut pork a lot.

0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 4>We definitely cut sausage all the processed foods, so we can.

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I love sausage. Pause, but you you dice some some

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>sausage and put it in a lasagna.

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.959
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, it elevates the flavor. Profo.

0:09:58.800 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's really good.

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 7>My first time making lasagna from scratch, and it's actually fire.

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 6>I didn't do it quite right, but it tastes good.

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 5>So how scratches scratched? Like you out there getting tomatoes

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 5>and making your own sauce.

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 7>You made the sced make I don't have a I

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 7>don't have a kid.

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.560
<v Speaker 2>That joint? Oh wow, I used.

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 7>What do they call it? Starts with a pee? Plum

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 7>tomatoes Italian plum tomatoes.

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 2>So wait a second.

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 5>So when Papa has his garden, we got to make

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 5>sure that he grows tomatoes so we can hand him

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 5>off the dribble to make the sauce.

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Slow Trible, got the sauce. Got the sauce. Make you dribble,

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:44.320
<v Speaker 1>it's actually fire.

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 8>Make you dribble, Make you dribble, and then.

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 5>You can have the jingle for you if.

0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 2>You try to real good.

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Why my father character, colonel.

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 2>He could totally be like your poster child.

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 3>A picture in Jamaica with the colonel behind him, I can't.

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>From school.

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.199
<v Speaker 2>The Colonel is most popular in the Caribbean. I'll say that.

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 4>Jackson has only had KFC in the Caribbean. He has

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 4>not had KFC's keep it.

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:29.960
<v Speaker 6>Well, that's it, that's the.

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Only had I love that.

0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, let's let's talk about living with your in laws.

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 4>Let's go back, all right, because I'm not gonna lie.

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 4>I was a little conflicted.

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:42.840
<v Speaker 5>Can I go back to the story real quick before

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 5>you go on there? So yeah, my thing is I

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 5>just enjoy when my countertops are clear.

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.439
<v Speaker 2>And you know, it's a lot. We have a fairly

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 2>large house.

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 5>At any given moment, there's a minimum of eight people

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 5>in this house. So that's a lot of people and

0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 5>a lot of foot traffic to you know that behind

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 5>if you're not worried, I have four sons. Like I

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 5>had to be realistic when I moved here to be

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 5>like Cleean, your OCD needs to take a rest because

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.560
<v Speaker 5>I was driving my own self crazy trying to run

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 5>after everybody to clean up. So after I realized that,

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 5>you know, it's me against seven other people, I just

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:18.560
<v Speaker 5>kind of threw my hands up in the air and

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 5>its It's like whatever. As long as the house is clean,

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 5>it's not dirty, like I'm fine. So anytime the cleaners come,

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 5>I think it might just be a black thing.

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure. Y'all can let me know all of

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:30.559
<v Speaker 2>my non black folks.

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 5>You pre clean before the cleaners got the same way

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna clean up a hotel room before I leave

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 5>and check out.

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:37.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm pre clean the house.

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.320
<v Speaker 5>But the pre cleaning is more so about kind of

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 5>sorting and organizing things that are out so they may

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 5>not know where to put, you know, certain clothing. Again,

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 5>eight sets of clothes in one house? Who has what

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 5>we're so I have to pre clean beforehand, and the

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 5>pre cleaning sometimes just takes a lot out of Mom.

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 2>And I to do.

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 5>So anytime I let her know on the calendar, hey Mom,

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 5>the cleaners are coming on this date, it's like a

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 5>dreaded countdown for her for when the cleaners come. So

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 5>this last time that they came, for example, I said,

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.079
<v Speaker 5>hey Mom, remember the cleaners are coming on Wednesday. And

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:12.679
<v Speaker 5>she's like, oh my god, the stress.

0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, ma, it's literally like that.

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>She's so stressful.

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I said, the stress of what I said, they're cleaning

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the house.

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 5>You're not she's like a sort and finished the long tree,

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 5>and I said, first of all, you're not the help.

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 5>You're not doing this by yourself. You and I will

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 5>go and short things, put them away. I have the

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 5>boys taking care of their rooms. I'm like, everybody will

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 5>do their separate spaces and then they'll come and clean.

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>And then she didn't.

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 5>Feel prepared because she was so stressed that she was

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 5>stressing me out that I moved the cleaners and said, hey,

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 5>can y'all come Monday instead? Let me give me the

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.839
<v Speaker 5>weekend to sort through things. But I'm like, mom, the

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.439
<v Speaker 5>cleaners are coming at least once a month. Sis like,

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 5>get get, get it through your mind, you know. So

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 5>the countertop thing is another thing that I just I hate.

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 5>They'll wash dishes and like leave all the dishes to

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.319
<v Speaker 5>drain on top of the countertop.

0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, we have a dishwasher.

0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 5>Either put them in the dishwasher or if you want

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 5>a hand wash, wash and then put them in the

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 5>dishwasher racks to just dry because we don't have any rack.

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.199
<v Speaker 5>Because I don't like stuff on my countertops. Every time

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.960
<v Speaker 5>the cleaners come. The County taps last a mint maximum

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 5>two to three is that they're on. Any given moment,

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 5>you'll catch my mother walking out the house. She has

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 5>a yetti cup with like a Stanley joint with with

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 5>her smoothie. She has another one with coffee, and then

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 5>she has another one with water.

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 1>You can see how serious she is about this.

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 2>She's not. She has them three joints and she'll walk out.

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to tennis, and I'm like, why do you

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 2>have an abundance of cups?

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 5>And she's like, oh, well, I have this and that

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 5>and this and that, and then she'll just leave them

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 5>on the countertop whenever she comes in.

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 2>So I'm constantly just like taking cups and putting them in.

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.400
<v Speaker 5>So I'm going to when the time comes and they're

0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 5>closed on their house and they're getting ready to prepare

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 5>their things to move out, I'm going to she can.

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Have cups galore. Man, take all the cups.

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 9>You have no idea how many cups and mugs.

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 2>You see. She's so thoughtful too.

0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 5>And that's the funny thing while I laugh time multaneously

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 5>because she made all of us personalized mugs.

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 2>So de Val has his, I have mine, Matt. At

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 2>this point, you got to ask me.

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 5>Me for one because when you be here, you know,

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 5>all the boys have their own tea cups.

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 2>My father has his own. Devows parents have their own.

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.360
<v Speaker 2>So that was like a part of her Christmas gift

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 2>this year, like stock and stuffers.

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 5>So she's super thoughtful. But I'm gonna send them cups

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:22.960
<v Speaker 5>for her two to her new house. They can have

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 5>them over there.

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 2>In the box. Girl, all your cups.

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.960
<v Speaker 7>It's so funny how frustrating it is when because this

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 7>happens nobody lives with me, but when I have guests,

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 7>I have to tell my guests, like if I come

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 7>in with groceries, don't touch nothing.

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 6>If you got dishes, just.

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Put them in a sink.

0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 7>You don't need to clean anything, because if you put

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 7>the dishes in the wrong place, I'm gonna want to

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 7>put you out. And so it's so funny, just like

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 7>not being able to organize your house the way you

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 7>want it organized and have to constantly work around somebody

0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 7>else's like way of doing things.

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, I'm glad that, y'all. I'm glad. I let you

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>get that off your chest. Clearly, clearly that was bothering her.

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 2>While on the topic.

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>She was steaming about that.

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 4>But this this is where my my conundrum comes in, right,

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 4>because I struggle with the fact that I know that

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 4>K needs help right and selfishly I want my wife.

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 4>So I'm like, yo, Mom, you hear you helping do

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.600
<v Speaker 4>the dishes. You help with the boys. Da da da

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 4>da da dah. So I appreciate having mine pops here

0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 4>because they help. I know for a fact, the minute

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 4>Mom and Pops leave and all of this stuff falls

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 4>on K, I'm not gonna get the wife the same

0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 4>way I had the wife. Oh No, that's my conundrum

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 4>because on one second, I know when K be tired,

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 4>this would be the difference.

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.280
<v Speaker 1>So y'all know, y'all come in here, Kay got on

0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 1>them red booty shorts and the crop top.

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 4>K's been rested right when y'all come in here, and

0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 4>Kay got on that that freaking that big.

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:04.160
<v Speaker 1>And she's sliding around the house.

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Somebody then pissed her horse, bab.

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.560
<v Speaker 4>And I got to deal with the fact that sometimes

0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.200
<v Speaker 4>me and me be the one pissing her horn.

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.760
<v Speaker 10>So the one who's supposed to be helping me get

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 10>to the shorts, it's helping me put the rope back

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 10>on because I swear when she come out when I

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 10>walk out in the morning, and because I know where

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 10>my room is, I come out.

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:24.880
<v Speaker 4>The first thing I do is I look down that hallway.

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 4>When I look down that hallway, I get to see

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:32.119
<v Speaker 4>the silhouette. The silhouette is either shorts crop top or

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:33.680
<v Speaker 4>the silhouettees.

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.919
<v Speaker 1>Look like a moonment and it's a big ass triangle.

0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:37.920
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes she got the one with the hood on.

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 1>She got the rope with the hood on. So I'm like,

0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't get to see nothing. The men and I

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.119
<v Speaker 1>walk in that kitchen that countertop beat and I was like,

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:48.280
<v Speaker 1>this is why she got the road. And I start

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.199
<v Speaker 1>cleaning up the countertop and She's like, no, leave it.

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:51.880
<v Speaker 4>Leave it because when they walk in here, I want

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 4>them to see exactly what it looks like.

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, oh my god, I'm backer.

0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes I'll just be like what, but don't sleep on

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:06.280
<v Speaker 5>the rope because a lot of Grandma's generations.

0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:06.920
<v Speaker 6>And assumed that the met there was a good night

0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:08.480
<v Speaker 6>and Kadeen just rode out of bed.

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes kids ready for school, that is a fact for sure,

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 5>But you know who some of the stuff is gonna

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.200
<v Speaker 5>fall on now, the boys, because one of the detriments

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 5>that's happened with living with my parents is that they

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:25.879
<v Speaker 5>do a lot of things just out of habit, not

0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.400
<v Speaker 5>that they're trying to absolve the boys of their chores.

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.480
<v Speaker 5>But you know, Jackson, for a while, his laundry, it

0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.040
<v Speaker 5>seemed like him and Mimi had this covert agreement that

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.920
<v Speaker 5>she would be low key doing his laundry. And after

0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:38.879
<v Speaker 5>a while I was like, sir, are you doing your laundry?

0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:39.679
<v Speaker 5>Whin's the last time.

0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 2>You did it?

0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:41.399
<v Speaker 5>He looking at me and Mimi looking at him, and

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm looking at them and I'm like, whatch I got

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:44.960
<v Speaker 5>going on here? I said me, me, You're not gonna

0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.120
<v Speaker 5>be be with him in college to do his laundry.

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.440
<v Speaker 5>He has to find a way to balance and juggle

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.159
<v Speaker 5>being an athlete, being a student, being a son and

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.119
<v Speaker 5>a brother, and doing his laundry. Nobody gonna be watching

0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 5>your draws for you know how, So anything that's not

0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 5>done now, it'll be a better away. I think to

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 5>enforce some of the things that the boys tend to

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.360
<v Speaker 5>be lax with because they don't have to do it,

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.400
<v Speaker 5>because you know, cold will get up and sometimes walk

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 5>away and leave his little cereal ball on.

0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:15.439
<v Speaker 2>You're going to start turn around. Where's the b the

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.639
<v Speaker 2>you get the dust bus alone on that? You absolutely right,

0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 2>the maids.

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 3>In this house.

0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 1>You can't raise.

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 6>A total culture shock on code that too.

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh he's the one.

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.120
<v Speaker 4>He's no one, but she's not here and CA's not here.

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.640
<v Speaker 4>Like remember when you were filming, Mom will go out

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 4>to tennis. He will come in the room, Dad, can

0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:42.399
<v Speaker 4>you put my clothes on? I'm like, no, you know

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 4>where your clothes are? Like, go put your clothes on it,

0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:46.639
<v Speaker 4>come down and I'll check it. And he'll be like

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.960
<v Speaker 4>but then they go upstairs. He'll come back downstairs dress

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.920
<v Speaker 4>and I'm like, see, this is the problem, seriously, when

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:56.119
<v Speaker 4>you have someone you can go to and they're just

0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.439
<v Speaker 4>gonna do it. It goes back to his quote unquote

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:01.720
<v Speaker 4>speech impediment or speech to He didn't have to say anything.

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 4>He just pointed, and when it got taken care of,

0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 4>he was like, well I need to talk for me.

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 4>I did start to realize even with Jackson and Cairo

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 4>and Kaz, they would just do things that I'm like,

0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 4>are you not aware? They all walk out of the house,

0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.639
<v Speaker 4>door be open and I'm like, why why is the

0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 4>door open? And they would be like because me and

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:22.200
<v Speaker 4>me typical, And I'm like, oh, you're used to me

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 4>and me being behind everything you do and making sure

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:25.320
<v Speaker 4>it's okay.

0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:27.040
<v Speaker 1>That's not okay.

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 4>Because when you're out here in the world, you're mem

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:30.320
<v Speaker 4>me not gonna be picking up after your mess.

0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'm in agreement with you on that, and I

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.080
<v Speaker 1>do understand that. And it's not only just me and

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.640
<v Speaker 1>me because Pops do the same thing. Pops Pop's gonna

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 1>take care of his boys.

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Yo.

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:41.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh. He just floated by.

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.400
<v Speaker 4>When Pops is here with them boys, anything they want,

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 4>it don't matter if it's early in the morning.

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:53.479
<v Speaker 1>I about to say cookies. He was like, come on,

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.480
<v Speaker 1>he's taking them again, cookies first thing in the morning.

0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 4>And it's like, that's what grandparents are supposed to do

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:02.800
<v Speaker 4>and Grandpa's house, Like like, I'm not I don't want

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:05.920
<v Speaker 4>to take that away from them because my grandparents did

0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:08.199
<v Speaker 4>that for us. But when they live with you, and

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 4>that becomes your kids knowing when they wake up first

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 4>thing in the morning and they get a cookie or icy.

0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Because Grandpa's there, that creates a bad habit.

0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 4>And we have to create a line in between where

0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:19.399
<v Speaker 4>you know, you know what do that with Grandma and Grandpa.

0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 1>They house.

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:21.400
<v Speaker 4>Let them love on you, but when you come home,

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:23.120
<v Speaker 4>we have to instill some discipline.

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:23.720
<v Speaker 2>No, for sure.

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 5>Earlier though, yeah, oh yeah, because we I mean, Jackson's

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 5>been with us, you know what, nine years before we

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:33.399
<v Speaker 5>got here, so a lot of that was instilled already.

0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 5>Cairo kind of follows everything Jackson does, so he and

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:37.760
<v Speaker 5>he's just a little bit more out of the four

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 5>of them, the most organized. Seedar system independent. Yeah, so

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:44.280
<v Speaker 5>he has his own way. It's funny this morning when

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.639
<v Speaker 5>they were getting ready to leave for school. Jackson's starting

0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:48.760
<v Speaker 5>to drive now. So Jackson drove them to school yesterday

0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 5>morning and next morning We're.

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Gonna do a whole nother podcast about that.

0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Jackson is driving all actually driving.

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:58.199
<v Speaker 5>He got his permit, so his thing is or my

0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 5>mom told him, Jackson, I don't mind you driving to school.

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:01.960
<v Speaker 5>I want you to teach and get practice with me.

0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:04.640
<v Speaker 5>But we're gonna have to leave either earlier on time

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:06.880
<v Speaker 5>because you can't rush. We have to give ourselves time.

0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:09.119
<v Speaker 2>I never seen Jackson.

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 5>Make it downstairs so fast in the morning in my life.

0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Bro.

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.600
<v Speaker 5>He's normally the last one down every single morning, scrambling

0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:19.359
<v Speaker 5>to get his track clothes and his cleats, and it's

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 5>this and is that. Homeboy was downstairs at like seven

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:26.080
<v Speaker 5>ten today, seven day. He was like, you're ready to go.

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.280
<v Speaker 5>You know, you might be trafficked looking at GPS, might

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:33.239
<v Speaker 5>be traffic. Okay, now you grown. Now he's rallying all

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:36.080
<v Speaker 5>the troops up. So Cairo comes downstairs and Jackson's like,

0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:37.800
<v Speaker 5>come on, bro, we gotta go because you know, I

0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:38.679
<v Speaker 5>gotta check the GPS.

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Se he's no traffic. And Kyro's like, I made my bed?

0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Did you?

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Did you make your bed?

0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:48.720
<v Speaker 5>I was like, because Cayrol's gonna take the time to

0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 5>make his bed and make sure his room is spotless

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:51.760
<v Speaker 5>before he leaves for school.

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:55.360
<v Speaker 4>I will say this right. The first two were raised

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:58.960
<v Speaker 4>by us. The last two was raised by Memi and Papa.

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:03.320
<v Speaker 4>And I can see the difference in the independence because

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:06.800
<v Speaker 4>when Jackson was when Jackson was five, Kyro was born,

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 4>k was pregnant. It was me and Jackson and Kyro

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:12.760
<v Speaker 4>spending a lot of time together, and I was also

0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:14.720
<v Speaker 4>in the gym doing a lot of training and stuff. Bro,

0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:16.399
<v Speaker 4>you got to be on top of your own stuff.

0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 4>And I think from young because Cairo and not for nothing,

0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 4>his place in the family kind of dictated the fact

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 4>that you have.

0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Another baby coming, I can't baby you here.

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.199
<v Speaker 4>He grew up super super fast, and he wanted to

0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 4>carry his own stuff.

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Fine, grab your brother this thing.

0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:32.560
<v Speaker 4>And I think because they were giving so much independence,

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:35.119
<v Speaker 4>young Jackson was five years old, first time.

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I ever let him walk to the corner store by hisself. Now,

0:23:37.119 --> 0:23:37.880
<v Speaker 1>just think about that.

0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:42.240
<v Speaker 4>Kay's family lives on what used to be a wide

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:45.240
<v Speaker 4>two way street. Used to be a wide two way street,

0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:48.720
<v Speaker 4>so wide did they added a bus lane on that

0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:49.399
<v Speaker 4>two way street?

0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:50.400
<v Speaker 1>So what's heavy traffic?

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:54.679
<v Speaker 4>So Jackson is five and k is inside and I'm like,

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:57.919
<v Speaker 4>he's like, Dad, you can't get some candy. I'm like,

0:23:58.400 --> 0:23:59.680
<v Speaker 4>you want some candy, you gotta go to the corner

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 4>store by yourself. So he's like, I bet. I give

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 4>him a dollar. This also shows you how back older

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:10.479
<v Speaker 4>you can get candy for a dollar. Any candy now

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:12.320
<v Speaker 4>in the corner store is over a dollar for thee

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 4>So this how old long it was. I gave him

0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 4>a dollar, and I'm standing there at the window watching

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:19.240
<v Speaker 4>him go to the go to the street, go to

0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:22.879
<v Speaker 4>the corner watch it. And I'm like, now I'm watching Coda.

0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:25.320
<v Speaker 4>Coda's four, he's going to be five. I would never

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:29.520
<v Speaker 4>in my life send him anywhere out here by himself,

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:31.520
<v Speaker 4>you know what I'm saying. But it just shows you

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:34.879
<v Speaker 4>how the kids just grew up differently living in that city.

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:38.520
<v Speaker 4>And I do think that it was a little bit

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 4>of a hindrance in their development early on, agreed, but

0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 4>what they needed as far as nurturing, especially during that

0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:48.159
<v Speaker 4>time coming out of COVID, things were different.

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:52.280
<v Speaker 5>The kids were home a lot, Yeah, because we moved

0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:54.880
<v Speaker 5>to La cas was a year or just barely a year.

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was necessary to have and.

0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:00.560
<v Speaker 5>That's how we say Mom raised Coda. And because they

0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:02.960
<v Speaker 5>were so they literally don't know life in this house

0:25:03.000 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 5>without them, like this is the colds norm when I

0:25:05.560 --> 0:25:06.200
<v Speaker 5>think about it.

0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Cairo cried when we first mentioned like they were getting

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:09.640
<v Speaker 2>their own house.

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Kyrol, yeah.

0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:14.439
<v Speaker 6>He really is.

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:16.639
<v Speaker 1>It's been seven years that Mimi's been living with us.

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:19.479
<v Speaker 1>So Kiro was too. He can't he don't remember anything

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:20.240
<v Speaker 1>that he too.

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.439
<v Speaker 5>Doesn't remember life without them in the house. And then

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 5>when we were like, no, they're gonna be like fifteen

0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:26.199
<v Speaker 5>minutes away. And then when we find I know we're

0:25:26.240 --> 0:25:27.960
<v Speaker 5>gonna do the episode on getting the house. But when

0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:31.960
<v Speaker 5>they finally saw the house, these kids are like so overjoyed. Yeah,

0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:33.440
<v Speaker 5>like they're so excited.

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:33.840
<v Speaker 1>That's dope.

0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:36.880
<v Speaker 7>I have a question for Deval because you said you're

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 7>not gonna get your wife the way you want her

0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:43.680
<v Speaker 7>once the grands are gone. So my question for you,

0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 7>and because I know the people wanting up, what how

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 7>you gonna step yo pussy up.

0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:53.040
<v Speaker 1>To help Kadis so she could be that.

0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:59.080
<v Speaker 7>You know how they say grow some balls. I say,

0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 7>step you pussy yup.

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how. I don't have a.

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:13.920
<v Speaker 7>Pus Okay, wait, let me let me start over. How

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:16.640
<v Speaker 7>are you gonna, like, how are you going to help

0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:19.560
<v Speaker 7>Kadeens to be able to give you the side of

0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:21.560
<v Speaker 7>her that you want to see with brands gone.

0:26:21.600 --> 0:26:24.240
<v Speaker 4>That's a great question. And this is my answer, right

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:28.359
<v Speaker 4>because you asked me. As as a man and his dad,

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:32.680
<v Speaker 4>I do everything. I helped him with schoolwork, I cook

0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:35.399
<v Speaker 4>when I have to, I drive them place and I

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:37.280
<v Speaker 4>have to. I moved her family in here to help

0:26:37.320 --> 0:26:40.400
<v Speaker 4>support her. Right, I do have a question. Why does

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 4>it have to be on me to figure out the

0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:46.280
<v Speaker 4>only reason why I ask is because Kadeen wanted this

0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 4>big ass house. And I said to her, when she

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 4>wanted to buy this house, I said, you know, this

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:52.720
<v Speaker 4>is a lot of house.

0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:57.199
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have to be responsible for this if I'm responsible.

0:26:56.640 --> 0:26:58.880
<v Speaker 2>To pay for it inserts And she.

0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:00.879
<v Speaker 1>Said, and she said she would am I lying, No,

0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:02.879
<v Speaker 1>you're right, you're absolutely If I got to pay for it,

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:04.080
<v Speaker 1>she gonna take.

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Care of it, maintain it.

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:05.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:07.080
<v Speaker 4>So my thing is I shouldn't always have to go

0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 4>into my reserve to figure out things that she said

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 4>that she wants. You know what I'm saying, I don't

0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 4>mind helping if that means I got to cook and

0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 4>clean where I have to. Yeah, But at the same time,

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:20.760
<v Speaker 4>if it's bothering you that your parents are living here

0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:22.680
<v Speaker 4>and you want them out when they were our help,

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 4>I do think that belongs on her where she could

0:27:25.000 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 4>be like, let me figure out how can I help,

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:30.160
<v Speaker 4>because for the past seven years I've been doing everything

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:32.720
<v Speaker 4>I can to help while she was having babies, because

0:27:32.760 --> 0:27:34.400
<v Speaker 4>there's no way she can do all of that and

0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:37.080
<v Speaker 4>be you know, postpart of men pregnant.

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:39.919
<v Speaker 1>But now it's kind of like, what more do I

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:41.480
<v Speaker 1>have to do? Now? I don't know what else to.

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:43.480
<v Speaker 4>Do I cook, I clean, I help with schoolwork, Like,

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:45.440
<v Speaker 4>is there anything else you think I should.

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:48.560
<v Speaker 5>Be No, I mean aside from like the stuff that

0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 5>because that's the only thing we don't have, like gender

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:52.439
<v Speaker 5>roles in this house. So it's like, whoever is in

0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:54.240
<v Speaker 5>that moment able to do it, does it? But I

0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:55.920
<v Speaker 5>understand your question, trip, but it's like if I want

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:59.200
<v Speaker 5>to be down one adult or two adults essentially us

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:01.159
<v Speaker 5>now being the only to adults in the house, Like

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 5>how if the point was for my parents to be

0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:05.159
<v Speaker 5>here to help me, Now, how will you help me

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 5>if I need the help?

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? In what ways?

0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:10.359
<v Speaker 7>Like because I think that you see, there are gonna

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 7>be some ways that you know, the help won't be

0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 7>there and I don't cause some tension, So it could

0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:19.320
<v Speaker 7>be you know, useful for you to try to relieve

0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 7>that tension or I'm honestly.

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Trying to figure out because that was actually a part

0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:26.679
<v Speaker 4>of the reason why having them here live with us

0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 4>was so important for me, because I know, number one,

0:28:31.840 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 4>my wife's the saint. I couldn't live with my parents

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:36.679
<v Speaker 4>for seven years. That's just the guy's honest truth. You know,

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:39.960
<v Speaker 4>you know what I'm saying, So asking her to live

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:42.720
<v Speaker 4>with her parents was also like, I know it was

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 4>rough because I think it was your mother said two

0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 4>women can't live in the same house.

0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, something like that.

0:28:46.920 --> 0:28:49.440
<v Speaker 4>So I already knew a Jamaican mom and a Jamaican

0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 4>woman living in the same house was going to be

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:51.200
<v Speaker 4>a lot.

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 1>But I knew that she could help in so many ways.

0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm not against us getting help, which means if we

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:01.000
<v Speaker 4>have to pay for some help in certain ways.

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:03.760
<v Speaker 1>But I also don't want to pay for help.

0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 4>And ways that's gonna get on her nerves because I

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.200
<v Speaker 4>also know bringing in somebody or someone else who is

0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:11.480
<v Speaker 4>going to also be a hindrance to the way she

0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:13.000
<v Speaker 4>wants to do her house. I don't know how to

0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:15.280
<v Speaker 4>help with that. She can tell me what she wants

0:29:15.320 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 4>or what she needs. For example, she says, I think

0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:19.680
<v Speaker 4>we need to get a chef. Yeah, I mean, okay,

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 4>a chef if I can afford it. I don't mind

0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 4>doing that.

0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:31.080
<v Speaker 1>That's gonna say chef. You know somebody that's going.

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:31.680
<v Speaker 6>To go home.

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not against that, it's just at the end of the day,

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't take away.

0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't have the bandwidth to help anymore at home,

0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 4>Like I don't just personally don't have the bandwidth.

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I do see that.

0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:45.960
<v Speaker 7>You know, as a dad, I'm not here every day,

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:48.000
<v Speaker 7>But at least as a dad, I know how much

0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:49.920
<v Speaker 7>time and effort you put in with the kids.

0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:51.880
<v Speaker 6>So that's I'm sure already helpful.

0:29:52.080 --> 0:29:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and because Mimi.

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 7>And Pop burn night here, that could that time could increase,

0:29:58.080 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 7>like you might have to figure out some emotion.

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:03.480
<v Speaker 1>You know well that we also did.

0:30:03.680 --> 0:30:07.239
<v Speaker 4>I made a choice when we started this transition, when

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:09.320
<v Speaker 4>Dad got sick. I don't take as many gigs as

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:12.040
<v Speaker 4>I used to. I'm not money chasing like I was.

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 4>There was a point where I was like, my sole

0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:18.040
<v Speaker 4>purpose is to make as much money as possible. But

0:30:18.080 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 4>now I realize that that doesn't work. I'd rather be home.

0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:24.400
<v Speaker 4>Part of the reason why you don't see us on

0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:27.360
<v Speaker 4>flights all the time like we used to. I just

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:29.680
<v Speaker 4>I got to be here. If the kids got to

0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:31.560
<v Speaker 4>get picked I guess that'll be my way of helping.

0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 4>Like if the kids got to be picked up at

0:30:33.920 --> 0:30:36.920
<v Speaker 4>a certain time, I'll just cancel a meeting then go

0:30:37.080 --> 0:30:37.360
<v Speaker 4>do it.

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:38.080
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I just I mean, we did what was necessary in

0:30:40.480 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 2>that moment. So like I never feel badly for the

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:46.400
<v Speaker 2>fact that our children were comfortable in our home that

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:49.600
<v Speaker 2>we worked so hard to provide for them with my parents,

0:30:49.640 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 2>because what would have been the alternative. We would have

0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 2>had to hire a nanny or help or someone.

0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:56.120
<v Speaker 5>Just to be here while we were out there chasing

0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 5>everything like all the things.

0:30:57.680 --> 0:30:57.840
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:30:57.880 --> 0:30:59.480
<v Speaker 5>The reason we're able to get to this point is

0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 5>because we were doing that. But both Deval and I

0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:07.479
<v Speaker 5>think agree collectively that the goal and the aimings has

0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 5>shifted and it's just like we want to be home

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 5>a little bit more now.

0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:13.320
<v Speaker 4>But I think the question is good a good question though,

0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:17.520
<v Speaker 4>because this is what this has been my fear. Part

0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:19.400
<v Speaker 4>of the reason why I've been kind of delaying them

0:31:19.480 --> 0:31:22.200
<v Speaker 4>leaving so long is because I know how hard it

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:25.520
<v Speaker 4>is to do all of this, and it's not like

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:29.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm the only one working, k working too, so it's like, shoot,

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:31.760
<v Speaker 4>like That's that's why I do say to her sometimes, like, hey,

0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:34.680
<v Speaker 4>before you get super excited about them getting a crib, like,

0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:37.040
<v Speaker 4>think about all the things that have to be done,

0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:39.240
<v Speaker 4>you know. So I think I think it's going to

0:31:39.280 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 4>take some time for us to realize, and we'll probably

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 4>have another podcast in August where we.

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Talk about you know what I'm saying, because to be honest,

0:31:49.600 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:53.760
<v Speaker 4>I just know what this moment, this dynamic isn't working

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:55.920
<v Speaker 4>well for my wife's mental health. So if it's not

0:31:56.040 --> 0:31:58.240
<v Speaker 4>working well for her mental health and it's not working

0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:00.720
<v Speaker 4>well for our dynamic and the kids growing, we got

0:32:00.720 --> 0:32:03.360
<v Speaker 4>to make a change. How we figure out from there,

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:06.080
<v Speaker 4>I guess will jump in that once we figure it out.

0:32:06.120 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>But we always find a way.

0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think we do.

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 5>One thing that I struggled with when we made the

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:18.120
<v Speaker 5>decision to put, you know, put the search in for

0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:21.400
<v Speaker 5>mom and dad to find them a house, was kind

0:32:21.400 --> 0:32:24.680
<v Speaker 5>of like a guilt because I felt badly for feeling

0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:27.920
<v Speaker 5>like I need my space. You know, I'm just like man,

0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:32.120
<v Speaker 5>I look around and especially our age demographic people's parents

0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:34.200
<v Speaker 5>are sick, they're losing their parents. My dad had his

0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:37.400
<v Speaker 5>whole about for the past couple months has been super stressful,

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:39.760
<v Speaker 5>and I'm just like, damn, I feel badly because some

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:42.800
<v Speaker 5>of my closest girlfriends don't even have their mom anymore.

0:32:42.400 --> 0:32:43.160
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 5>So here I am I'm like God, am I being

0:32:45.840 --> 0:32:49.240
<v Speaker 5>ungrateful because I am eager for my mom and dad

0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 5>to get their own space.

0:32:50.760 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 4>No, I don't think you're being ungrateful because your reasons

0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 4>not to cut you off. Your reasons have always been

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 4>you wanted your mom. I remember when I first met you,

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:00.440
<v Speaker 4>you said your mom wanted to have her own home

0:33:00.480 --> 0:33:05.320
<v Speaker 4>in Jersey. And that was in two thousand and three

0:33:05.480 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 4>when you told me that story, and then me and

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:09.000
<v Speaker 4>your mom and your dad went to go visit one

0:33:09.040 --> 0:33:11.200
<v Speaker 4>of their friends in Jersey. Yeah, you've always said you

0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:13.080
<v Speaker 4>wanted your mom to have her own Yeah.

0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:15.160
<v Speaker 5>And even when I was graduating from eighth grader or

0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:17.160
<v Speaker 5>about to my eighth grade year, we came down here

0:33:17.160 --> 0:33:19.800
<v Speaker 5>to visit my uncle, and my mother loved Georgia and

0:33:19.840 --> 0:33:21.200
<v Speaker 5>she was like, oh my god, one day I would

0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:22.880
<v Speaker 5>love to have a house in Georgia. She looked at

0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:24.760
<v Speaker 5>the nursing market and she's like, oh my god. Like

0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:26.680
<v Speaker 5>the fact the pay cut I would have to take

0:33:26.720 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 5>to get a house down here didn't seem worth it

0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:31.360
<v Speaker 5>at the time, so she ended up staying. So in part,

0:33:31.880 --> 0:33:34.400
<v Speaker 5>it's me, yes, wanting my space, but also like mom,

0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 5>like get your dream retirement home. You guys have worked

0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:40.560
<v Speaker 5>so hard all these years. You came up as two

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:43.360
<v Speaker 5>immigrant kids that were trying to figure life out. You've

0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:45.240
<v Speaker 5>done so well for yourself, You've done so well for

0:33:45.280 --> 0:33:49.080
<v Speaker 5>your family. You know, get something for yourself. Don't use

0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:50.760
<v Speaker 5>your money. She's like, well, this money I have put

0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:52.760
<v Speaker 5>away for you guys when I die, and I have

0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 5>this money put away for the boys when I die.

0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 5>And I'm like, why does everything have to be money

0:33:56.880 --> 0:33:58.640
<v Speaker 5>put away? We're not sitting here banking on when you

0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 5>passed that we're gonna be able to divvy up some money.

0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:03.400
<v Speaker 5>That means nothing to me. What means more is you,

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:06.920
<v Speaker 5>guys building memories with the grandchildren and with your children

0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:08.799
<v Speaker 5>while they're alive and you're alive, and we can all

0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:10.719
<v Speaker 5>enjoy it, you know. So the val looked at me

0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:12.640
<v Speaker 5>one day after I expressed this to him, kind of

0:34:12.640 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 5>feeling a bit guilty about wanting my space, and he's

0:34:15.960 --> 0:34:17.400
<v Speaker 5>like it even two things can be true at the

0:34:17.440 --> 0:34:20.239
<v Speaker 5>same time. You can adore your parents, love them for

0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:23.160
<v Speaker 5>who they are, but also need your own spacey, And

0:34:23.200 --> 0:34:24.800
<v Speaker 5>that's how I was able to kind of reconcile the

0:34:24.840 --> 0:34:25.719
<v Speaker 5>whole thing, because.

0:34:25.480 --> 0:34:27.239
<v Speaker 6>Even if my dad wasn't dead, I wouldn't want to

0:34:27.280 --> 0:34:27.960
<v Speaker 6>live with them.

0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:29.439
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't want to live in mine either.

0:34:30.880 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 4>As an adult, it's hard to have to answer to

0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:37.040
<v Speaker 4>somebody because they always view us as dear child. And

0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:39.200
<v Speaker 4>I see it sometimes in here, you know, and mom

0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 4>doesn't do it on purpose, but she'll do or say

0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:45.040
<v Speaker 4>stuff that it doesn't demean Kay, but it's almost like,

0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:48.799
<v Speaker 4>you know she's a mom, right, Like why would you

0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:50.640
<v Speaker 4>say or do that? And she doesn't do it on purpose.

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:52.440
<v Speaker 4>I know I'm going to do the same thing to

0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:54.120
<v Speaker 4>Jackson at some point and he gonna be like this,

0:34:54.200 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 4>nigga gotta go because I know I already know that.

0:34:57.560 --> 0:35:00.160
<v Speaker 4>That's why I say, you're not being ungrateful and will

0:35:00.200 --> 0:35:02.480
<v Speaker 4>say you have the patience of Joe because I couldn't

0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:04.160
<v Speaker 4>live with my parents for seven years.

0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:06.719
<v Speaker 2>Be prepared, call forward and go'll be with us. Wow,

0:35:06.880 --> 0:35:08.400
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, transition down.

0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:09.799
<v Speaker 1>And they ain't gonna stop coming over.

0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:13.920
<v Speaker 3>They got a key, you know, you could send them

0:35:13.960 --> 0:35:14.719
<v Speaker 3>all to their house.

0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:16.840
<v Speaker 1>That is That's what I'm saying.

0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:19.800
<v Speaker 2>That is it, Matt? That is it? Everyone's what fifteen

0:35:19.800 --> 0:35:20.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty minute radius.

0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:23.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I'm gonna buy y'all open and a clothes sign

0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:26.760
<v Speaker 3>so if I show up and y'as doing y'all freaking business.

0:35:26.880 --> 0:35:28.680
<v Speaker 3>I know not to come through that door open.

0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:30.960
<v Speaker 5>All I have to say, Matt, because Matt has the

0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:34.760
<v Speaker 5>door code in the house and whatnot, like christoutside.

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:35.640
<v Speaker 2>That's a good one.

0:35:36.680 --> 0:35:41.240
<v Speaker 5>No man, Okay, you will have to proceed with caution, especially.

0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Hello right now.

0:35:44.640 --> 0:35:44.880
<v Speaker 7>I am.

0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:47.879
<v Speaker 4>I do want to be clear though, Like, I don't

0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:51.040
<v Speaker 4>think that you're being ungrateful at all, because you've always.

0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Said you wanted your parents to have their own big spot.

0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:54.880
<v Speaker 2>No, I did, whether they lived with me or not.

0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:56.879
<v Speaker 5>If they were in Brooklyn now currently, I'd be like, guys,

0:35:56.920 --> 0:35:59.120
<v Speaker 5>you gotta leave Brooklyn, come down here and get something

0:35:59.120 --> 0:36:01.480
<v Speaker 5>for yourself, much like we're with your parents. Yeah, so

0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 5>it would have been the same way either way.

0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:05.280
<v Speaker 1>And I do think that we're moving in a smart

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:06.960
<v Speaker 1>way right, Like we're.

0:36:06.840 --> 0:36:11.759
<v Speaker 4>Not getting them a home out there and beyond somethingander, Yeah.

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:14.399
<v Speaker 1>We're getting them a home where Jackson can drive right

0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:16.280
<v Speaker 1>from school to their house.

0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:18.240
<v Speaker 2>That was also a part of the search.

0:36:18.320 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 5>I literally, along with our real chairs shout out to

0:36:20.719 --> 0:36:24.520
<v Speaker 5>Marianne Elsbury and Curtis Lancaster and Latanya, like we had

0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:25.759
<v Speaker 5>to make sure that we found them.

0:36:25.920 --> 0:36:27.400
<v Speaker 2>We mapped everything from.

0:36:27.239 --> 0:36:30.480
<v Speaker 5>Our house to the school, their house to school, their

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:32.799
<v Speaker 5>house to their house. So grandparents are like thirty minutes

0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:35.480
<v Speaker 5>away from each other. No highways have to be involved

0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:37.239
<v Speaker 5>if they don't need to be. So it's safe for

0:36:37.320 --> 0:36:38.520
<v Speaker 5>Jackson to drive, you know.

0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:41.480
<v Speaker 4>Because what's also very important is for us is that

0:36:41.560 --> 0:36:44.640
<v Speaker 4>they have that relationship with their grandparents. I know for

0:36:44.680 --> 0:36:47.359
<v Speaker 4>a fact that, yeah, when Jackson's having a bad game

0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:50.000
<v Speaker 4>or he and I aren't the same seeing out of

0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:52.600
<v Speaker 4>eye on something, he can call my dad and he

0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:56.600
<v Speaker 4>Even even last week, me and Jackson were having it,

0:36:56.920 --> 0:36:59.080
<v Speaker 4>having it out. I didn't think he performed the way

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:01.640
<v Speaker 4>he needed to in practice, and I'm getting on him.

0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:03.880
<v Speaker 4>And my dad just happened to be here because I

0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:07.240
<v Speaker 4>was filming while I'm in that freaking gym, and I'm

0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:09.239
<v Speaker 4>you know, my voice is getting heavy, and I'm like,

0:37:09.239 --> 0:37:10.920
<v Speaker 4>this isn't a unacceptable out of that.

0:37:11.239 --> 0:37:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I see the shadow walk by and he goes like this,

0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and I look at him and I breathed, and I

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.960
<v Speaker 1>look at Jackson, who at this point.

0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Knows how I get. He not teary eyed, he not nothing.

0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:27.680
<v Speaker 4>He's just like, so what do I have to do?

0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:29.120
<v Speaker 4>What do I have to do? And I'm like you

0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:31.360
<v Speaker 4>need to get on the treadmill. You owe me a mom.

0:37:31.440 --> 0:37:33.600
<v Speaker 4>He got on a treadmill, ran his treadmill, then he.

0:37:33.560 --> 0:37:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Got off, went in the pool. My dad went and

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:37.399
<v Speaker 1>met him down there without me saying nothing.

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:39.840
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like that those are times where I know

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.800
<v Speaker 4>my father going to reiterate my message but then also

0:37:42.840 --> 0:37:44.839
<v Speaker 4>come up and parent me and let me know how

0:37:44.880 --> 0:37:46.040
<v Speaker 4>I could do things differently.

0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:47.560
<v Speaker 1>And I still want that.

0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:51.120
<v Speaker 4>I want that, And I think that Ka still has

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:53.839
<v Speaker 4>that with me and me and Pop like they I watched.

0:37:53.480 --> 0:37:55.840
<v Speaker 1>That they still work through things with the kids, and

0:37:55.840 --> 0:37:57.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I don't ever want that to go away.

0:37:58.280 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 4>So having that multi generational, you know, lifestyle is important

0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:03.360
<v Speaker 4>for me, for us.

0:38:03.560 --> 0:38:05.120
<v Speaker 5>One of the questions Tribble had on here is how

0:38:05.120 --> 0:38:07.600
<v Speaker 5>your relationship has changed with the Grants after living with them.

0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:10.239
<v Speaker 5>I think that's a question I want to direct towards you,

0:38:10.280 --> 0:38:12.759
<v Speaker 5>because you and my mom have had an interesting relationship

0:38:12.800 --> 0:38:15.080
<v Speaker 5>over the past twenty four years. And I feel like

0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:17.800
<v Speaker 5>more recently, as my mom starts to open up about,

0:38:18.120 --> 0:38:20.239
<v Speaker 5>you know, just various things, she comes to me some

0:38:20.320 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 5>days and she's just like me and iv Ie had

0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:23.920
<v Speaker 5>a therapy session, and she's like smiling, and I'm like,

0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:25.480
<v Speaker 5>since when did Deval become a therapist?

0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:28.640
<v Speaker 2>You know? But can you speak to like how you

0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:28.920
<v Speaker 2>feel like?

0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:31.200
<v Speaker 5>Maybe the relationship has changed, particularly with her, because you

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:32.239
<v Speaker 5>and dad were always cool.

0:38:32.360 --> 0:38:34.320
<v Speaker 4>I have a greater understanding of your mom, But I

0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:37.440
<v Speaker 4>also have a greater understanding of you because I can

0:38:37.480 --> 0:38:39.839
<v Speaker 4>sit down to your mom and understand everything that she's

0:38:39.880 --> 0:38:43.080
<v Speaker 4>been through because she'll she'll openly talk to me because

0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:46.160
<v Speaker 4>she doesn't fear judgment. I am not her biological child,

0:38:46.640 --> 0:38:48.640
<v Speaker 4>so she says things and talks to me about things

0:38:48.680 --> 0:38:51.160
<v Speaker 4>that she won't speak to y'all because she she has

0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:52.880
<v Speaker 4>this idea that she still wants to be on a

0:38:52.880 --> 0:38:54.799
<v Speaker 4>pedestal for her own children. You know what I'm saying,

0:38:54.840 --> 0:38:57.359
<v Speaker 4>My children can't think this way about me, but she'll

0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:00.600
<v Speaker 4>talk to me. So when understanding and understanding her mindset,

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:02.920
<v Speaker 4>I also realize that that's the person that raised you

0:39:03.040 --> 0:39:03.600
<v Speaker 4>from birth.

0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:06.000
<v Speaker 1>So I see a lot of the same things you

0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:08.759
<v Speaker 1>have in your mom. So when I don't understand you,

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:11.279
<v Speaker 1>and then I see your mom explaining something that she's

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:14.840
<v Speaker 1>been through, I said, oh, that's where Kay got that from.

0:39:15.040 --> 0:39:17.319
<v Speaker 1>So it allows me to have more empathy towards you

0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:20.279
<v Speaker 1>because I see your triggers through your mom. You know

0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:22.319
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. So I appreciate your mom.

0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:25.279
<v Speaker 4>I appreciate her vulnerability to open up to me and

0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:28.160
<v Speaker 4>tell me how she deals with things. But that's also

0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:30.160
<v Speaker 4>another reason why I think me and your mom got

0:39:30.200 --> 0:39:33.799
<v Speaker 4>closer over the last six years. I value her so

0:39:33.960 --> 0:39:36.160
<v Speaker 4>much and she knows, and I tell her all the time.

0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:38.879
<v Speaker 4>One thing I've learned from our kids is you need

0:39:38.920 --> 0:39:41.279
<v Speaker 4>to tell people in real time how you feel about them.

0:39:41.280 --> 0:39:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Don't wait until they get older or wait until they die.

0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:45.839
<v Speaker 4>So I spend a lot of time telling your mom

0:39:45.880 --> 0:39:47.839
<v Speaker 4>thank you and saying things to her like I love

0:39:47.880 --> 0:39:50.399
<v Speaker 4>her because think about it, your mom came here when

0:39:50.400 --> 0:39:54.320
<v Speaker 4>she was seventeen, her parents weren't here. How many people

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:57.359
<v Speaker 4>just told your mom she loved them they loved her?

0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:00.520
<v Speaker 4>Not many people. So I noticed that when I tell

0:40:00.520 --> 0:40:03.319
<v Speaker 4>her these things, it makes herself. I notice that you

0:40:03.360 --> 0:40:06.400
<v Speaker 4>don't get told they love you a lot from your parents.

0:40:06.840 --> 0:40:09.240
<v Speaker 4>You see what you see how I made the correlation.

0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, shifting with them and it's never verbalized as much.

0:40:13.280 --> 0:40:15.759
<v Speaker 4>Right, but it showed me how you are. So now

0:40:15.800 --> 0:40:18.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't take things personally. So when I don't get

0:40:18.440 --> 0:40:20.400
<v Speaker 4>the affection that I always want, I don't take it

0:40:20.440 --> 0:40:21.040
<v Speaker 4>as oh, my.

0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Wife don't love me.

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:25.879
<v Speaker 4>So she comes from a household that they did things

0:40:25.920 --> 0:40:28.439
<v Speaker 4>a little bit differently. But I see how they love

0:40:28.520 --> 0:40:30.840
<v Speaker 4>on you, and I see how they love on their grandkids.

0:40:30.840 --> 0:40:33.160
<v Speaker 4>I was like, Oh, that's how Okay shows love. So

0:40:33.200 --> 0:40:34.239
<v Speaker 4>that's that's why I.

0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:39.800
<v Speaker 7>Like, you're so obsessed with her, Like Kaden, a person

0:40:40.920 --> 0:40:43.080
<v Speaker 7>coming back to Kadean, Hey, DeVoe, what's your favorite color?

0:40:43.160 --> 0:40:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, I had seen Kadeen.

0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:44.400
<v Speaker 9>And.

0:40:45.880 --> 0:40:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you something, when you got to spay

0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the rest of your life with somebody kind of has

0:40:52.000 --> 0:40:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to be your obsession because you got to try to

0:40:54.640 --> 0:40:55.359
<v Speaker 1>figure that out.

0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:58.120
<v Speaker 4>Because we spend more time trying to figure each other

0:40:58.120 --> 0:40:59.080
<v Speaker 4>out than anything else.

0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 2>It's never ending, it's never.

0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:05.840
<v Speaker 4>End, but living with them, when you realize how quiet

0:41:05.880 --> 0:41:08.520
<v Speaker 4>somebody is, and when you realize someone to like you

0:41:08.560 --> 0:41:11.279
<v Speaker 4>see two people bicker and her mom will go back

0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:12.600
<v Speaker 4>in her room and not say nothing.

0:41:13.120 --> 0:41:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, ah, I see where that happens. So she's not.

0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:20.680
<v Speaker 4>Doing that to me because there's something wrong with us.

0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:23.840
<v Speaker 4>She's just duplicating the behavior that she saw.

0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:26.520
<v Speaker 7>And you also can have a different relationship with them

0:41:26.560 --> 0:41:30.640
<v Speaker 7>living here because it's giving you something else.

0:41:31.120 --> 0:41:33.799
<v Speaker 2>Right, He's getting what he wants out of them out

0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:34.680
<v Speaker 2>of the scenario.

0:41:35.239 --> 0:41:38.879
<v Speaker 7>Again, you're taking it for like, you know, learning your

0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:39.520
<v Speaker 7>partner too.

0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:41:40.080 --> 0:41:42.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I also learned to like to because remember me

0:41:43.000 --> 0:41:45.040
<v Speaker 4>and me, me had a very tumultuous relationship when we

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:49.000
<v Speaker 4>first started. And until you learn why somebody is the

0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:51.200
<v Speaker 4>way they is, you really don't understand who they are.

0:41:51.760 --> 0:41:53.560
<v Speaker 4>And I think a lot of people spend a lot

0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:58.920
<v Speaker 4>of time just placating and smiling and being real, real fake.

0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:02.000
<v Speaker 4>But when you got to live with somebody, you can't

0:42:02.040 --> 0:42:04.399
<v Speaker 4>do that all day. When you come out that room

0:42:04.400 --> 0:42:06.279
<v Speaker 4>and you see that person and that person sees you.

0:42:06.680 --> 0:42:10.080
<v Speaker 4>I think us living together forced me and me me

0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:13.439
<v Speaker 4>to kind of like see each other in a different way.

0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:15.279
<v Speaker 4>She got to see how I love her daughter.

0:42:16.000 --> 0:42:17.440
<v Speaker 2>It also forced.

0:42:18.640 --> 0:42:21.799
<v Speaker 5>Just internally with my nuclear family before you to have

0:42:21.880 --> 0:42:24.600
<v Speaker 5>the conversations like we were having a tough conversation for example,

0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:26.400
<v Speaker 5>yesterday and Matt came in and Matt was like, all right,

0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:28.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna make it you turning going downstairs. It up

0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:31.759
<v Speaker 5>for the podcast, Here goes kadeen Am I, but no,

0:42:31.880 --> 0:42:34.080
<v Speaker 5>I like being here. It's like, okay, I see the

0:42:34.160 --> 0:42:36.600
<v Speaker 5>inner workings of even just my parents and their dynamic,

0:42:37.040 --> 0:42:39.360
<v Speaker 5>and I'm just like, okay, this can't continue. Here's what

0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:42.120
<v Speaker 5>we have to address, y'all about to get a house together.

0:42:42.880 --> 0:42:44.600
<v Speaker 5>You're gonna have to make it work because of X

0:42:44.680 --> 0:42:47.120
<v Speaker 5>y Z like, let's let's ear everything out. And that

0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:50.120
<v Speaker 5>I can thank you for because Deval has always been

0:42:50.280 --> 0:42:53.120
<v Speaker 5>very direct and open and about having the communications because

0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:55.240
<v Speaker 5>that's where he came from with his family dynamic.

0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:57.920
<v Speaker 4>But it's not easy because even this morning before we

0:42:57.960 --> 0:43:00.239
<v Speaker 4>had this podcast, Kay asked me a question. I told

0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:01.880
<v Speaker 4>her the truth, but she told me I was annoying,

0:43:03.400 --> 0:43:06.399
<v Speaker 4>so it's bitch.

0:43:08.080 --> 0:43:10.160
<v Speaker 2>And I was just like, okay.

0:43:09.680 --> 0:43:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, don't ask me how I feel. And then

0:43:11.960 --> 0:43:14.799
<v Speaker 1>when I tell you, I'm like, now you're acting like

0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:17.000
<v Speaker 1>a bitch. Don't do that, and here's the truth.

0:43:17.040 --> 0:43:19.759
<v Speaker 4>Though we didn't have to scream and argue and get

0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:21.600
<v Speaker 4>upset at each other. She was like, you know, all right,

0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:23.480
<v Speaker 4>I shouldn't do that, and I was like, find it.

0:43:23.640 --> 0:43:25.200
<v Speaker 4>If you don't call me names, I won't call.

0:43:25.080 --> 0:43:26.759
<v Speaker 2>You names, right, And then we're like all right, but

0:43:27.120 --> 0:43:27.640
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying.

0:43:27.680 --> 0:43:30.759
<v Speaker 1>It's like, there's no point in your marriage where you're like,

0:43:30.920 --> 0:43:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I got to figure it out, you know. So anytime

0:43:34.360 --> 0:43:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I can get a glimpse into understanding who they are

0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:40.719
<v Speaker 1>as a family helps me cheat code. Living with them

0:43:40.800 --> 0:43:41.479
<v Speaker 1>is really a cheat.

0:43:41.520 --> 0:43:44.399
<v Speaker 5>Hold yo, yeah, yeah, for sure, all right, I think

0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:45.920
<v Speaker 5>this is a good point to take a little break.

0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:48.240
<v Speaker 4>The only thing I don't like is your pop's feet.

0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:51.280
<v Speaker 4>I got to say this, man, I love everything about

0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:53.719
<v Speaker 4>my in laws. Man, but Pops be outside doing the

0:43:53.760 --> 0:43:55.839
<v Speaker 4>garden and stuff with no shoes on. Then he comes

0:43:55.880 --> 0:44:00.040
<v Speaker 4>back inside the house with the same feet turning.

0:43:59.840 --> 0:44:01.799
<v Speaker 2>Through the house. Now we wonder why it's piling all

0:44:01.800 --> 0:44:02.279
<v Speaker 2>over the floor.

0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:03.240
<v Speaker 1>What happened?

0:44:06.120 --> 0:44:12.560
<v Speaker 5>Man, say, when you live with people long enough, you

0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:14.759
<v Speaker 5>notice theirs too, and it's just like.

0:44:14.800 --> 0:44:17.839
<v Speaker 2>You've been doing this. You really was doing this like

0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:19.320
<v Speaker 2>my whole life. That that's how you function.

0:44:20.440 --> 0:44:23.080
<v Speaker 4>Thing Now, because I tell him to close the door,

0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:26.759
<v Speaker 4>I'd be like, yo, my man, stop leaving the door open.

0:44:26.800 --> 0:44:29.719
<v Speaker 1>We live in Georgia like this wild in the house.

0:44:30.040 --> 0:44:31.759
<v Speaker 1>He he just go outside of the door. So I

0:44:31.800 --> 0:44:33.319
<v Speaker 1>don't say nothing no more. As soon as he leave

0:44:33.360 --> 0:44:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the door, I just locked that bitch. He don't even say.

0:44:37.840 --> 0:44:40.040
<v Speaker 4>Nothing, Like he'll come to the door and he'll just

0:44:40.120 --> 0:44:42.319
<v Speaker 4>be locked, and then he just go to another door

0:44:42.880 --> 0:44:44.480
<v Speaker 4>and then he come inside. He looked at me, and

0:44:44.520 --> 0:44:47.640
<v Speaker 4>I look at him, and then he just kind of

0:44:47.680 --> 0:44:49.959
<v Speaker 4>go on and I I told you, I.

0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:50.919
<v Speaker 1>Told you the door.

0:44:52.080 --> 0:44:55.239
<v Speaker 5>There are a lot of silent battles that happen here.

0:44:55.280 --> 0:44:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Definitely silent battles for sure.

0:44:58.239 --> 0:44:59.759
<v Speaker 5>All right, y'all, we're gonna pay the bills and will

0:44:59.800 --> 0:45:02.040

0:45:25.280 --> 0:45:27.440
<v Speaker 5>I truly admire the growth I've seen in your marriage

0:45:27.480 --> 0:45:28.200
<v Speaker 5>throughout the years.

0:45:28.239 --> 0:45:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Shout out to all of our day.

0:45:30.480 --> 0:45:33.160
<v Speaker 5>One podcast Ganggang when it was dead ass. I've been

0:45:33.200 --> 0:45:35.839
<v Speaker 5>with my husband for ten years, married for three. What

0:45:35.920 --> 0:45:37.920
<v Speaker 5>I want to know is how do y'all bounce back

0:45:37.960 --> 0:45:41.400
<v Speaker 5>after a disagreement aka in argument and still have the

0:45:41.440 --> 0:45:43.400
<v Speaker 5>desire for each other. I don't know if it's just me,

0:45:43.520 --> 0:45:46.200
<v Speaker 5>but I'll be mad for a good week. Even if

0:45:46.200 --> 0:45:48.520
<v Speaker 5>we're good the next day, it still takes some time

0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:51.600
<v Speaker 5>for that sexual desire to come back. My husband's usually

0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:54.879
<v Speaker 5>right ready, right away. I need like a good five

0:45:54.960 --> 0:45:57.399
<v Speaker 5>to seven days. I know it's bad and I hate

0:45:57.400 --> 0:45:59.239
<v Speaker 5>that I do that, but sex is emotional for me,

0:45:59.480 --> 0:46:01.759
<v Speaker 5>and the emotions don't just be there yet.

0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:06.280
<v Speaker 2>So how do y'all navigate? How do y'all navigate these

0:46:06.400 --> 0:46:09.960
<v Speaker 2>types of situations so that you're not withholding sex? Thank you?

0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:16.879
<v Speaker 5>Well, that's your question, that's my question, you see by

0:46:16.880 --> 0:46:19.239
<v Speaker 5>de bounces, that's my question because he's like, I don't

0:46:19.239 --> 0:46:21.560
<v Speaker 5>never feel like I don't want to smash it.

0:46:23.120 --> 0:46:27.200
<v Speaker 1>There was only one time recently when we went to

0:46:27.719 --> 0:46:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the Kyman Islands.

0:46:28.760 --> 0:46:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh that she turned off or something that yeah.

0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even with it. Yeah, and she got mad

0:46:33.080 --> 0:46:34.040
<v Speaker 1>because I wasn't with it.

0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Because I'd be like, you always do with it. So

0:46:35.800 --> 0:46:37.239
<v Speaker 2>if you're not, like what are you? What are we

0:46:37.280 --> 0:46:37.759
<v Speaker 2>doing here?

0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:42.319
<v Speaker 4>Like so well, but this is her question to her question, right,

0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:46.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't think you and I have ever used sex

0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:48.040
<v Speaker 4>as a tool for punishment.

0:46:48.680 --> 0:46:50.880
<v Speaker 1>That's never been something.

0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:53.359
<v Speaker 4>The only time we don't have sex is when one

0:46:53.400 --> 0:46:55.200
<v Speaker 4>of us like, you know, I'm really not in the mood,

0:46:55.520 --> 0:46:57.719
<v Speaker 4>and that happens, you know, few and far in between,

0:46:57.800 --> 0:47:01.480
<v Speaker 4>because we both understand that if the other person requires

0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:03.480
<v Speaker 4>it in this moment, as a spouse.

0:47:03.200 --> 0:47:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Is my job to take care of that person.

0:47:05.280 --> 0:47:06.880
<v Speaker 4>So I don't think there ever really has been a

0:47:06.920 --> 0:47:09.960
<v Speaker 4>time in our relationship where we've been like so emotionally disconnected,

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:11.560
<v Speaker 4>where we like we're not going to connect.

0:47:12.320 --> 0:47:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Basically, I can't recall.

0:47:14.400 --> 0:47:17.640
<v Speaker 5>That, I think as I'm thinking about it, to your point,

0:47:18.480 --> 0:47:20.399
<v Speaker 5>she well, she made a point that sex for her

0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:22.400
<v Speaker 5>is very emotional, so she needs to be able to

0:47:22.440 --> 0:47:25.640
<v Speaker 5>have that because I always want us to be in

0:47:25.680 --> 0:47:28.080
<v Speaker 5>a good place even after a disagreement. I think the

0:47:28.120 --> 0:47:32.359
<v Speaker 5>emotional side of me wants us to reconcile, and when

0:47:32.360 --> 0:47:35.839
<v Speaker 5>we reconcile, it will lead to that almost ten times

0:47:35.840 --> 0:47:37.120
<v Speaker 5>out of ten, you know what I mean.

0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:39.640
<v Speaker 2>So if she's just holding.

0:47:39.320 --> 0:47:42.279
<v Speaker 5>The grudge just because she's upset in that moment, and

0:47:42.320 --> 0:47:43.919
<v Speaker 5>she you know, wants to be upset, right, she takes

0:47:43.920 --> 0:47:45.879
<v Speaker 5>a longer time to process it, that's one thing. But

0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:47.960
<v Speaker 5>me personally, if I feel like you're upset with me,

0:47:48.560 --> 0:47:51.240
<v Speaker 5>I can't function fully until I know that we're back

0:47:51.280 --> 0:47:53.640
<v Speaker 5>in a good place. But that's just how I am.

0:47:54.520 --> 0:47:57.560
<v Speaker 5>I emotionally need you to be okay with me again,

0:47:57.760 --> 0:48:01.000
<v Speaker 5>and then when we finally reconcile it it doesn't take long.

0:48:01.680 --> 0:48:04.600
<v Speaker 4>I think what you're saying is kind of it goes

0:48:04.640 --> 0:48:08.600
<v Speaker 4>back to we over me right. Anytime you're in a relationship,

0:48:08.719 --> 0:48:11.160
<v Speaker 4>similar to what Triba was saying, she's like you like

0:48:11.160 --> 0:48:14.600
<v Speaker 4>obsessed with k. When you're in a relationship where this

0:48:14.640 --> 0:48:18.200
<v Speaker 4>person is your person, everything that you decide should go

0:48:18.280 --> 0:48:21.200
<v Speaker 4>through a lens of us, not a lens of me,

0:48:22.080 --> 0:48:23.480
<v Speaker 4>because if you ever get to a point where I

0:48:23.480 --> 0:48:25.320
<v Speaker 4>don't feel like it, that's very selfish. If you're in

0:48:25.320 --> 0:48:27.960
<v Speaker 4>a relationshiphere we're supposed to be sharing life together. You

0:48:28.000 --> 0:48:29.640
<v Speaker 4>can no longer look at life as this is what

0:48:29.680 --> 0:48:32.359
<v Speaker 4>I require in this moment. And I think if more

0:48:32.360 --> 0:48:34.880
<v Speaker 4>people started to say, you know what, we are not

0:48:34.920 --> 0:48:37.319
<v Speaker 4>in a good space. We need to connect, rather than

0:48:37.360 --> 0:48:40.879
<v Speaker 4>saying stuff like I'm not in a good space. If

0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:43.279
<v Speaker 4>you think about what you need as a couple collectively,

0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:46.759
<v Speaker 4>you'll always error on the side of connecting rather than

0:48:46.800 --> 0:48:49.360
<v Speaker 4>distancing yourself because you need it by yourself, you know.

0:48:49.840 --> 0:48:51.719
<v Speaker 2>Yet, no, it makes sense when you say we over me.

0:48:51.760 --> 0:48:53.560
<v Speaker 5>It's almost like you got to kind of put the

0:48:53.560 --> 0:48:55.280
<v Speaker 5>greater good above how you feel.

0:48:55.360 --> 0:48:56.360
<v Speaker 1>That's what you've described.

0:48:56.600 --> 0:48:58.719
<v Speaker 2>No, for sure, there's a lot of times where I've

0:48:58.960 --> 0:48:59.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of sucked it.

0:48:59.640 --> 0:49:09.480
<v Speaker 5>Up in Yeah, and I but but there's many times

0:49:09.600 --> 0:49:11.239
<v Speaker 5>because I can relate to that. Sometimes you just kind

0:49:11.239 --> 0:49:12.640
<v Speaker 5>of feel like, oh, I'm so annoyed in this moment,

0:49:12.760 --> 0:49:16.400
<v Speaker 5>or I'm so exhausted from the disagreement or the argument.

0:49:16.440 --> 0:49:17.920
<v Speaker 5>Like sometimes we used to argue and it used to

0:49:17.960 --> 0:49:19.960
<v Speaker 5>be ours you know what I'm saying. Yeah, and I

0:49:19.960 --> 0:49:21.520
<v Speaker 5>think at this point we're just like no, like even

0:49:21.560 --> 0:49:23.560
<v Speaker 5>just upstairs just now, it's just like, bro, Okay, I

0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:24.719
<v Speaker 5>said you was annoying you, so that I was a

0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:27.120
<v Speaker 5>little bit, Oh, well, we are to do but people

0:49:27.160 --> 0:49:30.480
<v Speaker 5>moving on our date night tonight. That's just where we

0:49:30.520 --> 0:49:32.640
<v Speaker 5>are at this point in our relationship. But I understand that,

0:49:32.680 --> 0:49:34.279
<v Speaker 5>and the we over meet component makes a lot of

0:49:34.280 --> 0:49:35.000
<v Speaker 5>sense in that case.

0:49:35.440 --> 0:49:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Do any of y'all in relationships?

0:49:37.000 --> 0:49:39.359
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, I do want to dispel this myth though, because

0:49:39.400 --> 0:49:41.600
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people think that men are just ready

0:49:41.719 --> 0:49:44.200
<v Speaker 4>to have sex. You can ask some married men here,

0:49:44.280 --> 0:49:45.799
<v Speaker 4>there's times where we don't be wanting to have.

0:49:45.760 --> 0:49:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Sex with y'all.

0:49:46.360 --> 0:49:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's about to ask, you know, and.

0:49:48.080 --> 0:49:50.319
<v Speaker 1>We just connect because we know that y'all also need

0:49:50.320 --> 0:49:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the reconciliation. So that so you're you're I'm talking about

0:49:53.640 --> 0:49:54.960
<v Speaker 1>for myself, but you can ask them.

0:49:55.280 --> 0:49:57.200
<v Speaker 4>There's times where I be turned off because of an

0:49:57.280 --> 0:50:00.120
<v Speaker 4>argument or I've turned off because of a behavior, but

0:50:00.160 --> 0:50:02.640
<v Speaker 4>I know that if I turn you down also as

0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:07.720
<v Speaker 4>your husband, then yes, So there's times we as husbands

0:50:07.760 --> 0:50:09.920
<v Speaker 4>do that as well, like the times we suck it

0:50:10.000 --> 0:50:13.680
<v Speaker 4>up as well, because you yo, pause, I gotta pause

0:50:13.719 --> 0:50:16.040
<v Speaker 4>that because you know we're very immature.

0:50:17.360 --> 0:50:19.479
<v Speaker 1>There's no reason to pause this situation, but I gotta

0:50:19.520 --> 0:50:20.239
<v Speaker 1>pause it, right.

0:50:20.920 --> 0:50:23.640
<v Speaker 3>But no, I definitely didn't give it some here nigga

0:50:23.680 --> 0:50:24.200
<v Speaker 3>damn sex.

0:50:24.760 --> 0:50:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you need here first you said.

0:50:26.360 --> 0:50:28.080
<v Speaker 3>No, like hear nigga damn right here?

0:50:30.360 --> 0:50:35.680
<v Speaker 9>Yes, yes, like men do that too, like so you

0:50:35.760 --> 0:50:36.640
<v Speaker 9>just be like your wife.

0:50:38.680 --> 0:50:41.600
<v Speaker 8>I came, I came home this week from Miami. I

0:50:41.640 --> 0:50:43.880
<v Speaker 8>was tired, man, but she was on me.

0:50:44.000 --> 0:50:59.440
<v Speaker 9>So on the shirt, just put hand, nigga, come on,

0:51:00.080 --> 0:51:02.680
<v Speaker 9>So you actually tired sometimes and just don't want to

0:51:02.680 --> 0:51:03.600
<v Speaker 9>do it because you're tired.

0:51:03.800 --> 0:51:07.600
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you guys may never understand like should be tired

0:51:07.600 --> 0:51:09.520
<v Speaker 8>too sometimes, so like I'll be.

0:51:09.560 --> 0:51:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Tired to think about the.

0:51:12.320 --> 0:51:15.760
<v Speaker 5>Situation that's that's ten days out of the year, maybe

0:51:15.760 --> 0:51:17.560
<v Speaker 5>twenty days out of the year where I'll be tired,

0:51:17.680 --> 0:51:18.560
<v Speaker 5>still tired.

0:51:18.560 --> 0:51:19.440
<v Speaker 2>It still has happened.

0:51:19.520 --> 0:51:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if Josh, if Josh put on that chipping deal.

0:51:23.960 --> 0:51:28.799
<v Speaker 8>Or the Bayless, I would have been We were talking

0:51:28.840 --> 0:51:31.680
<v Speaker 8>earlier about bringing a bring that back to.

0:51:31.520 --> 0:51:33.359
<v Speaker 3>Tour, Josh on the podcast, I can't bring that.

0:51:33.320 --> 0:51:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Back to tour? Why not? He didn't brand new one?

0:51:40.840 --> 0:51:57.279
<v Speaker 4>Okay, but no, I do think it is a myth

0:51:57.520 --> 0:51:59.520
<v Speaker 4>that men just always want to have sex or the

0:51:59.560 --> 0:52:00.480
<v Speaker 4>top bro.

0:52:01.200 --> 0:52:04.399
<v Speaker 1>When y'all be saying stuff and doing stuff, I'm.

0:52:04.280 --> 0:52:08.120
<v Speaker 4>Talking about wives this. There's times wives can get us

0:52:08.160 --> 0:52:11.480
<v Speaker 4>out of the mood. Like there's times when y'all.

0:52:11.640 --> 0:52:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Well we be like here niggadn, but you know we

0:52:13.280 --> 0:52:14.200

<v Speaker 6>I have this conversation with myself in the mirror.

<v Speaker 1>Do you want to up?

<v Speaker 1>That's T. H. E. E. L. L I. S A.

<v Speaker 1>D V I C. E at gmail dot com.

0:53:53.800 --> 0:53:55.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, it's moment of truth time.

0:53:55.719 --> 0:53:57.960
<v Speaker 5>We're talking about what it's been like having the in

0:53:58.040 --> 0:53:59.759
<v Speaker 5>laws with us for the past seven years and what

0:53:59.840 --> 0:54:01.239
<v Speaker 5>it's going to look like when they leave.

0:54:01.640 --> 0:54:02.360
<v Speaker 2>I think my moment of.

0:54:02.360 --> 0:54:04.520
<v Speaker 5>Truth, I'll start it because it's stayed at the top

0:54:04.560 --> 0:54:06.640
<v Speaker 5>of my brain. But it was that, you know, two

0:54:06.640 --> 0:54:08.279
<v Speaker 5>things can be true at the same time. I can

0:54:08.360 --> 0:54:10.799
<v Speaker 5>love and adore my parents and appreciate the fact that

0:54:10.800 --> 0:54:13.719
<v Speaker 5>they're here. My boys have an amazing relationship with them,

0:54:13.760 --> 0:54:16.040
<v Speaker 5>and they are bonding making memories that.

0:54:16.040 --> 0:54:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Are going to last a lifetime.

0:54:17.680 --> 0:54:19.360
<v Speaker 5>If I'm not here to be with my children, the

0:54:19.400 --> 0:54:21.200
<v Speaker 5>next best thing, in my opinion, is going to be

0:54:21.200 --> 0:54:25.040
<v Speaker 5>either set of parents. But I can also want my space,

0:54:25.480 --> 0:54:28.839
<v Speaker 5>and it's time to have that. And my consolation is

0:54:28.880 --> 0:54:31.040
<v Speaker 5>knowing that they're going to be close by, so the

0:54:31.080 --> 0:54:34.200
<v Speaker 5>memories will continue, and I cannot wait to start to

0:54:34.239 --> 0:54:38.160
<v Speaker 5>create new memories with my husband in an empty house.
