Speaker 1: we can't keep doing this, we can't keep playing with
Speaker 1: keep playing games when that's right? Yes, so at that's
Speaker 1: the point, you quit playing games with my heart, keep
Speaker 1: playing games with my remix pre mix. Okay, I think

Speaker 4: For sure?
Speaker 3: Not married?
Speaker 1: I was just just checking his next She's like, I
Speaker 1: know that's next. Can ask married? Could be there up
Speaker 1: on the next all right, So they're not showing as
Speaker 1: much motivation towards relationship as you'd like. It's a it's
Speaker 1: a really weird.
Speaker 4: Place to be and there be as there.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're giving giving more than you're receiving.
Speaker 6: Yes, I got it.
Speaker 1: I have the solve with the situation Nickson. To fix
Speaker 1: your problems block him. Here's what you need to do.
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. You need to go bowling with a
Speaker 1: large group six to eight people minimum because say six
Speaker 1: to eight lanes, because you can break away. It's a
Speaker 1: group hang so there's no pressure if you're like, oh
Speaker 1: it's too manch situations if they're already doing six other people,
Speaker 1: have to go, make sure that you are. The first
Speaker 1: of bowl is second, and then there's six people after, right,
Speaker 1: So then there's time for you to break away. Let him,
Speaker 1: let him have a conversation, grab a drink. Talk. Oh look, oops,
Speaker 1: I dropped my ball. Can you help me? Marie is
Speaker 1: still bowld can you help me? Mike is still He's
Speaker 1: still got to go trick to this. You got to
Speaker 1: put your names close together so you're broken away at
Speaker 1: the same time, right up top, nice, smart, and then
Speaker 1: you can have the conversation without betting a high pressure situation.
Speaker 1: I like that. I think, Okay, you know what, Bowling,
Speaker 1: go for it and this is the cure and then
Speaker 1: you'll know or here's that. Here's can I yes? And
Speaker 1: you Nick? Please say, hey, I'm gonna invite three of
Speaker 1: my friends, you invite three of your friends. If he
Speaker 1: is he bringing the relationship couple? Is he bringing the couple?
Speaker 1: Well he brings is actually right? Did I cook? You
Speaker 1: did cook? That's the sizzle? I think. I think depending
Speaker 1: on who he brings really tells a lot. He bring
Speaker 1: one friend and a couple, that's like or or maybe
Speaker 1: ask him to bring four friends because then he read
Speaker 1: two couples. Are you willing to have the conversation and
Speaker 1: that you can't have a conversation kills es, But you
Speaker 1: got to half this conversation. Are you willing to have
Speaker 1: the conversation? And if it doesn't go well, then it's over,
Speaker 1: or you'd rather just leave it where it is. Then
Speaker 1: you know, then you need all right conversation if it
Speaker 1: all works out every time you go bowling. So how'd
Speaker 1: you guys meet? You're like, funny story, Nick Jonas, my
Speaker 1: good friend Nick, good friend Nick? Does me to go bullying? Yeah?

Speaker 1: It's okay advice.
Speaker 3: So I work at Gay Caring. I think I have
Speaker 3: a horrible time right now. I've been thinking about putting
Speaker 3: my job. I don't think. It's not your cage. It's
Speaker 3: the people I'm working with. It's the management. I've been
Speaker 3: acting everybody. Should I quit?
Speaker 1: Do you like working with children?
Speaker 3: I love children. It's super rewarding. Book of management. It's
Speaker 3: so hard.
Speaker 1: That is tough. What makes it difficult?
Speaker 3: Management?
Speaker 1: Have you explored looking at other daycares in the area
Speaker 1: before you quit or resign? I've shown about it, but
Speaker 1: we're still in the fields.
Speaker 3: There's benefits boo, younger is not benefits?
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, yeah, I hear you jobs you do
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. But you know what I feel like
Speaker 1: if you're not, if you're not enjoying your workplace, that's tough.
Speaker 3: I think when you go in your very because it's not.
Speaker 1: Like a baby boss runs the place.
Speaker 4: It's a as a it's a very very hard boss.
Speaker 1: Yeah, an old, mean boss. Well, I give the advice
Speaker 1: of explore other options before before you leave your job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: before you leave your job. Good point. But if it's
Speaker 1: a if it's a toxic workplace, then fuck them and
Speaker 1: get out.
Speaker 3: It is, but I like my co workers, it's all management.
Speaker 1: Maybe you start your own Kevin, you know what hit
Speaker 1: to it one? Sorry? I think you Hey, I could
Speaker 1: be could be the moment Christina's day care for take care.
Speaker 1: You know what. Maybe you've been together with your team
Speaker 1: and that you love working with and you create a
Speaker 1: new environment that is Christina's heavenly environment. Joe, I think
Speaker 1: that's a good idea, as long as you don't get
Speaker 1: sued for taking all the people check the contracts that
Speaker 1: you signed here. Maybe just float the idea you'd be
Speaker 1: like a daycare and see if anybody like picks up
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 3: Not like an actual you know what, though we've already
Speaker 3: talked about it. We have our own secret group chap
Speaker 3: where we talk about opening up our own daycare. But
Speaker 3: we don't go with your good idea.
Speaker 1: Now's the time. Well, just make sure to hire a
Speaker 1: great somebody that knows this side of the business. I
Speaker 1: can only imagine working with children. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: responsible things that you have to get in place, like
Speaker 1: insurance and legal matters, so make sure those things are animals.
Speaker 1: Those are also important equally and as we know as parents,
Speaker 1: and a lot of guards on corners in any scenario
Speaker 1: by round tables, whether you land somewhere else or you
Speaker 1: start your own thing. We wish you the best of
Speaker 1: luck and thanks for what you do as a as
Speaker 1: a childcare professional. Coming to the Jonas Brother Show it
Speaker 1: means a lot.

Speaker 1: wait to hear about your daycare. Next up, I said heavenly,
Speaker 1: and you didn't hit the heavenly button. You can't tell

Speaker 1: feeling thing. I feel it and I had to hit it.
Speaker 1: Nobody to tells me to push my buttons. Okay, got

Speaker 2: I didn't think this was going to be answered, So.
Speaker 1: Now I don't know it's understandable.
Speaker 2: What advice would you like to give a thirty year
Speaker 2: old woman whose first concert was the Jonahs Brothers.
Speaker 1: Was it the first concert in the State Farm Box
Speaker 1: or was that just we were your first show?
Speaker 3: No, I was like I was in like eighth grade, amazing.
Speaker 1: I think how's the weather looking tomorrow in h Atlanta? Atlanta?
Speaker 1: It's a relevant question, I probably Rainie. Okay. Our advice
Speaker 1: to you would be take an umbrella with you the money? Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 4: That was really deep, and.
Speaker 1: I would say you made incredible decisions in your life.
Speaker 1: You've never given a more sincere line reading in your life.
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Or okay, then we got to tap
Speaker 1: your next caller. Who we got. Hey, it's Hey Jonas,
Speaker 1: this is the jokes.
Speaker 4: Hello, Hi, it's Chelty. How are you guys?
Speaker 1: We're so good, Chelsea. How are you? I'm doing great, fantastic.
Speaker 1: So what do you want to know? What can we
Speaker 1: help you with?
Speaker 8: I think you know, you guys are in your thirties
Speaker 8: now and a lot of us are getting to that
Speaker 8: point where we are hitting our thirties. I'm thirty right now.
Speaker 1: Congratulations, you made it.
Speaker 4: Thank you. I know it's so great.
Speaker 8: Right, So I would say, what would you think is
Speaker 8: the best piece of advice that maybe you have now
Speaker 8: that you guys have are in that point in your life,
Speaker 8: or a piece of advice that you've heard as you
Speaker 8: got into that point.
Speaker 1: It's great, Happy birthday, belated just sometime in the year. Well,
Speaker 1: she says, she said, I'm thirties now, so I assume
Speaker 1: her birthday was this year.
Speaker 8: I just turned for you, like a couple months ago.
Speaker 8: My birdays, actual forty vins.
Speaker 1: Oh nice, that's amazing.
Speaker 4: So we're both scorpios.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Scarbo Queen. The best advice I think that I
Speaker 1: can't speak for all three of us or I can,
Speaker 1: but the best advice I've received is, you know, I
Speaker 1: think going into your thirties, like twenties, you think you
Speaker 1: know everything and you actually don't know anything. In the thirties,
Speaker 1: it's like you know more and you know how to
Speaker 1: deal with the problems a bit better. You're not great
Speaker 1: at them, but you take your roll with the punches
Speaker 1: a lot better, right, And so I feel like being
Speaker 1: able to just wake up every day with gratitude people
Speaker 1: to be like, Wow, I'm so grateful that I get
Speaker 1: to wake up and and and be in my thirties
Speaker 1: and make my own decisions. I think that's awesome. It's
Speaker 1: incredibly good on you and happy early birthday. In fact,
Speaker 1: thank you, thanks for calling, Thank you, talk to you guys,
Speaker 1: love you too. It was great.
Speaker 6: Butt.
Speaker 1: I do a good job there. I was kind of
Speaker 1: you were kind of a scram treading water. I could
Speaker 1: feel it. I was treading water. You guys are just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fine. I don't even know how to answer that
Speaker 1: question though, because it's a tough one. I feel in
Speaker 1: some ways I know a lot more about myself in
Speaker 1: my thirties, and in others I feel like I'm completely
Speaker 1: different person who I was ten years ago. I actually
Speaker 1: think that I think the second on that, which scares
Speaker 1: me at times. Let's get real. Let's call my therapist.
Speaker 1: That'd be fun. Actually she's on the line right now.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do another caller.
Speaker 3: Hello, you're lying?
Speaker 9: Are you serious?
Speaker 1: We are serious? Hi, this is Kevin, Nick and Joe.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Hey Jonas. You're calling into Hey Jonas. No,
Speaker 1: she's listening.
Speaker 9: True, Oh my gosh. Okay, first off, shout out to
Speaker 9: my sister and her daughter, Henley. They've been calling into
Speaker 9: and I know that they're gonna shut themselves in there.
Speaker 1: Episode one. Okay, we're in. We're giving out advice if
Speaker 1: you have any advice that you need to receive.
Speaker 9: I had a sort of a question in mind, but
Speaker 9: I can I can rephrase it for advice.
Speaker 1: Or a question. It's fine, question, totally fine. It doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be advice.
Speaker 9: Kind of a serious question then less less fun.
Speaker 3: But I've been.
Speaker 9: Curious, so, like at Kotella, Justin Bieber giving testimony in
Speaker 9: front of millions of people, in front of the world,
Speaker 9: did that kind of spark you guys to maybe start
Speaker 9: talking about your like your own faith again or were
Speaker 9: you feeling convicted for some other, some other reason.
Speaker 3: I guess that's kind of a question for Nick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I wouldn't frame it as convicted at all.
Speaker 1: I think that what Justin did was beautiful and the
Speaker 1: song I put out with I assume you're talking about
Speaker 1: the brand Lake song. Yes, yeah, So that's an example
Speaker 1: of the two people from different genres coming together to
Speaker 1: find in which ways they're similar and where they overlap.
Speaker 1: And you know, going back to our journey with faith
Speaker 1: and religion in the earlier days of our lives, the
Speaker 1: church it was a big part of our life, but
Speaker 1: we had to find our own journey. I assume that
Speaker 1: by asking this question, you're someone of faith or have
Speaker 1: religious backgrounds.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and so I've really admired you coming out and
Speaker 9: talking about it. Because I know it's kind of not
Speaker 9: what's cool in this world right now.
Speaker 1: Actually, I beg to differ. I think that more and
Speaker 1: more people are getting in touch with their faith because
Speaker 1: of how messed up things are in the world, and
Speaker 1: becoming a father really shaped things for me and made
Speaker 1: me want to dig deep and talk about the central
Speaker 1: theme of that song, which is that there is a
Speaker 1: plan for your life and you don't have to be
Speaker 1: a person that believes in Jesus and God to understand
Speaker 1: that there's some plan in place. And Brandon and I
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time talking about that, and I
Speaker 1: came in with this title and was really inspired to say,
Speaker 1: how can I put this feeling that I know my
Speaker 1: life is in good hands into a song? And it's
Speaker 1: The beautiful thing about collaboration is that two very different
Speaker 1: walks of life, different experiences, we can come together to
Speaker 1: do something that has real impact and is based in
Speaker 1: both biblical truth but also just the main truth, which
Speaker 1: is love. We find a way to love each other
Speaker 1: and meet each other with compassion and empathy. I think
Speaker 1: Biaber has done a great job of that in his life,
Speaker 1: both publicly and personally. He always meets people with empathy
Speaker 1: and love, and the fact that he's taking it on
Speaker 1: a big stage like that is great and inspiring a
Speaker 1: lot of people. It wasn't the the thing that had
Speaker 1: me going into the session back in December and writing
Speaker 1: that song, but it certainly continues this, this conversation around love, empathy,
Speaker 1: compassion in a time when I think we need it most.
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure, Amen.
Speaker 1: Love that. Thank you for your question, Thanks for so much.
Speaker 9: Yeah, thank you, Thanks for answering them.
Speaker 1: So all right, thank you, Segue. I'm mo ordained. It's
Speaker 1: true you're a pastor. I'm actually a minister. I've married
Speaker 1: many couple I've married I think the four couples now,
Speaker 1: I had a feeling one of our callers would would
Speaker 1: ask about that or you know, not specifically Beaber, but
Speaker 1: like the song, and I think what's great about the
Speaker 1: hotline is that it's a chance to really connect with
Speaker 1: people and meet each other where we're at on topics
Speaker 1: that are fun, funny, real, real, and and also uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: And I think we're okay with that. And it's a
Speaker 1: platform in a setting that no one's ever seen us
Speaker 1: in sure, And the more we go out into the
Speaker 1: deep end and answer some of these questions, thinks the better.
Speaker 1: For sure, I can swim because my media training was
Speaker 1: h three years ago, two years ago. And it's popping.
Speaker 1: He's on fire. You do not have a burn enough one.
Speaker 1: He's on fire and he's holy. Okay, next up, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello,
Speaker 1: Hi god?
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, wow?
Speaker 2: Great?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Who's this?
Speaker 4: This is Alina?
Speaker 1: Do you spell?
Speaker 8: It?
Speaker 3: Was an? I?
Speaker 1: Ro an e it's an I? Okay, but close enough
Speaker 1: to his daughter? I think, yes, just fine, Yeah, oh
Speaker 1: that's to be close to yes, but out of context,
Speaker 1: really money, she might have known her daughter's name is Alena.
Speaker 9: I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I assumed she knew, all right, Alena, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I just got a new smart watch.
Speaker 1: How many steps you get in today? I?
Speaker 3: None?
Speaker 4: Because I literally just got it. I was like waiting
Speaker 4: for the package.

Speaker 1: to say that it's great us have a similar car,
Speaker 1: similar like the name. And he's like, oh, you still

Speaker 1: know it, you know, unless this is not something you'll
Speaker 1: feel cooful talking about. But it's just like any just anything,
Speaker 1: anything to give you pass some background. Hada. We've been
Speaker 1: giving out dating advice. We've given advice that Nick has
Speaker 1: been giving pastoral advice. We've been putting it out there,
Speaker 1: but Choe's actually a pastor. Well I'm the only minister.
Speaker 1: I guess that those unless.
Speaker 4: I guess this goes along with like the dating.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 4: I don't know. So I met this guy like a
Speaker 4: year ago, and just last week he like re entered
Speaker 4: my life.
Speaker 1: I guess in a sense I just got chill.
Speaker 4: No, he like literally, I'm so like I'm actually in
Speaker 4: my like I hate man era and he just like
Speaker 4: randomly appeared out of nowhere and he shout up with
Speaker 4: my job, and he said, yeah, I wanted to visit
Speaker 4: you whatever, and we ended up like talking after work
Speaker 4: and like it was very cute. See and but he's
Speaker 4: in a situation with an on and off again girl
Speaker 4: of but not really.
Speaker 3: Working out right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a serious moment, Joe, stop it. Here's
Speaker 1: the question, how on and off are we talking? And
Speaker 1: is it currently off?
Speaker 4: It's currently off because.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, okay, so it's off, so that means they
Speaker 1: can be on for you.
Speaker 4: You don't want to be like that girl either, No,
Speaker 4: I it's not what you want.
Speaker 1: Go off, Hannah. Self respect goes a long way. So
Speaker 1: he came to visit you at work, I assume not
Speaker 1: as a patient. We don't assume, because it would be
Speaker 1: really cute if he's working at.
Speaker 4: My other job at all watch part No, he's the firefighter.
Speaker 1: This is kind of giving an episode of the pit. Well,
Speaker 1: it's okay, let's get serious.
Speaker 4: Actually been crashing out about this all basically, so I will.
Speaker 1: I get it by the way I get it. That's
Speaker 1: and the wampum was because I'm like, that breaks my heart,
Speaker 1: doesn't break a heart of my heart. How did it
Speaker 1: feel to see him again.
Speaker 6: After like a year and any messages me saying that
Speaker 6: like he misses me and YadA YadA YadA, but then
Speaker 6: like he don't do.
Speaker 4: Anything about it because of the situation. So he used
Speaker 4: to work at my old job, but then I left.
Speaker 4: So I hadn't seen him in a while. And I've
Speaker 4: been trying to get on with a fire department and
Speaker 4: he's a firefighter for said fire department. Like running into
Speaker 4: each other again.
Speaker 1: I think it's uh, it's time for a candle at
Speaker 1: dinner and a real conversation.
Speaker 4: I don't like he won't he won't go out with me.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about going out. That's not what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. I need a bound bound button. I think
Speaker 1: it's time for like a movie night. You need to
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit of romance needs to be displayed.
Speaker 1: But she said he will not do that. That that
Speaker 1: was a red flag to me. I'm just gonna say
Speaker 1: it because we met.
Speaker 4: Him after work and like we talked in the car
Speaker 4: for like like three.
Speaker 1: In the morning, and we don't know what time your
Speaker 1: shifts might be. Yeah, I think it's time to go bowling.
Speaker 4: But like, I don't want to be I don't want
Speaker 4: to be that girl, I said. I said, let me
Speaker 4: know when you figure it out.
Speaker 1: So he's still in the situation, will you said that's good,
Speaker 1: that's great.
Speaker 4: But he kissed me, so I'm like, what the hell
Speaker 4: it's kissing me off?
Speaker 1: Your heart is not to be played with, Hannah. And
Speaker 1: if somebody's gonna be messing with your heart, then goodbye.
Speaker 1: That's their loss. You seem like a really nice person,
Speaker 1: and you laid you late. You put your foot downe
Speaker 1: and said, hey, okay, you need to figure that out.
Speaker 1: Otherwise I'm good And I understand the crash because you're like,
Speaker 1: this isn't who but I think he's on ice now.
Speaker 1: We gotta put him up. We can't be responded. We
Speaker 1: can't you could be like respectfully, Hannah, is my advice,
Speaker 1: our advice. It's being like, Yo, listen, I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: a little I'm gonna take a little bit. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take a couple of steps back. I don't think we
Speaker 1: should be communicating romantically or even this flirty because you're
Speaker 1: in your thing and until that's figured out, I don't
Speaker 1: want to be that girl yeah, or that person. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be a second choice.
Speaker 4: And it's just so it's so annoying. It's so hard
Speaker 4: because I'm such a lover girl and then piss me
Speaker 4: of off.
Speaker 1: Well, well, somebody deserves your love. It it's not him
Speaker 1: if he's not the right guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess I've just I've had the worst luck
Speaker 4: in the dating scene.
Speaker 1: It's gonna change, because you know what, you're inspiring a
Speaker 1: lot of people on this call, I'm sure that are
Speaker 1: like in the same situation. They're like, you know what,
Speaker 1: my go off, queen, it's time, it's time, it's time.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your time here, for what
Speaker 1: you do. Good luck, stay strong. Maybe the guy or
Speaker 1: person that's meant for you is listening right now. And
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm gonna go to every AM team like
Speaker 1: who here has worked at a water park?

Speaker 1: All right? Cool? We got We had a spiritual call
Speaker 1: earlier and it threw me off, and I feel like

Speaker 2: All right, you're safe with me, I understand.
Speaker 1: Thank god. So Hi, tell us about your life. Why
Speaker 1: what's your name? First of all, my name does. Very
Speaker 1: nice to meet you.
Speaker 2: I am calling from North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Which part I talked to you?
Speaker 3: Actually?
Speaker 2: I talked to you actually at the Charlotte Show.
Speaker 1: Nice, very nice.
Speaker 2: I requested games.
Speaker 1: Oh, great request by the US. Our parents have a
Speaker 1: restaurant not far from Charlotte.
Speaker 2: Yes, I've been there. It's very good.
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming to check it in, and thank
Speaker 1: you for requesting games. That's what we were just actually
Speaker 1: practicing that in soundcheck the other day because we wanted
Speaker 1: to play it again, but then no one requested it.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll pay Yeah, maybe.
Speaker 2: Well I'm here for you.
Speaker 1: So you called our hotline where we're answering questions and
Speaker 1: giving advice if you need it. Do you have something
Speaker 1: you'd like to either ask us or advice you'd like
Speaker 1: to be given?
Speaker 2: So I do have a question for you. So I
Speaker 2: am a mother. I have a two year old son,
Speaker 2: and I have found being a parent has been very
Speaker 2: healing for me, very healing for my childhood traumas and
Speaker 2: things like that. So I was just curious what has
Speaker 2: been one of the most healing things about being a
Speaker 2: parent for you guys.
Speaker 1: Wow, A great question, great question. I completely agree. How
Speaker 1: much time do you have? Yeah? I completely agree being
Speaker 1: a parent has has been super healing. One of the
Speaker 1: things that I find is that I'm sort of constantly
Speaker 1: finding ways to explain things that I either took for
Speaker 1: granted or overlooked in everyday life and now because the
Speaker 1: questions are always well, why is it like that? Why?
Speaker 1: Everything from why is glass clear? To why is the
Speaker 1: and she wouldn't say it this way, but the establishment
Speaker 1: the way it is. Why why are the rules like this?
Speaker 1: And I've had to sort of remind myself of why
Speaker 1: and then also find a way to frame it so
Speaker 1: that this world that can be very intense and kind
Speaker 1: of overwhelming and you know, scary at times, feels a
Speaker 1: little less scary and intense. And that's helped me heel
Speaker 1: as well to say, Okay, maybe it's not as bad
Speaker 1: as I thought it was, or maybe these things that
Speaker 1: that you know, I would just look at and go, okay,
Speaker 1: that's just part of life can actually be blessing again
Speaker 1: and just bring me joy in new ways. It's it's
Speaker 1: probably a combination of the simplicity of, you know, the
Speaker 1: way in which a four year old thinks and how
Speaker 1: beautiful that is, but also the wonder in her eye
Speaker 1: and her ability to see just the good and everything
Speaker 1: has helped me a lot. Someone gave me this advice,
Speaker 1: and I don't know exactly it was me, It was Joe.
Speaker 1: Someone gave me this advice, and I think it was
Speaker 1: very very profound for my own life because I have
Speaker 1: I struggle with this at times. But it was that
Speaker 1: you have ten thousand hours before they leave for college.
Speaker 1: The math might be wrong. I can't. Maybe I'm not
Speaker 1: remembering it exactly right. But the point that they're trying
Speaker 1: to make is the fact that like it is fleeting,
Speaker 1: and the time you have is with them as children
Speaker 1: is so precious and so important, and before you know what,
Speaker 1: they're gone or they're moving on, and they're they're out
Speaker 1: of your life and they're out of your home maybe,
Speaker 1: And it's just incredible to think that the time we
Speaker 1: have with them now is the time that we'll be
Speaker 1: able to shape who they are. And they are already
Speaker 1: becoming who they are, and they're shaping you. And I've
Speaker 1: learned more from them being their father than I think
Speaker 1: I will ever teach them beautifully si'd Keed's amazing, Desra,
Speaker 1: you got me my feels. I'll sell you that much.
Speaker 1: I'm a single dad and I co parent with my
Speaker 1: children's mother, and so I think my children have given
