1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're a father, you know, one of the best

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: we know. Not only do you father your own biological children,

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: but you mentor many, many millions of boys.

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 2: Around the world.

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: So I want you to tell us about the first

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: time you became a father. You didn't just have one baby,

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: you had a set of twins, Brandy and Curly.

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 3: Let's just be honest about my role as a father.

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: Every last one of my children, every last one of them,

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 3: was a complete damn surprise.

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: I did not as a woman came in and said

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: to me, I'm pregnant. You are crazy.

13
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: Okay, So we have they.

14
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: Have, you know, kind dog, so you know what I mean.

15
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you, though it's been I think being

16
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 3: a grandfather has been even a little bit more special

17
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: because I have, you know, some way of seeing my

18
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: name continue through my grandsons. The granddaughters are a lot more,

19
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: you know, precious. You know, I never get angry at

20
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: my grandkids. I'm always in a good mood with them

21
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 3: because you know, they're not mine, so I don't really care.

22
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 3: But I think the most gratifying thing for me is

23
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: watching my children get it right.

24
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: Now.

25
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: They've all made a lot of mistakes, but I have

26
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: to realize that. Boy, I look back at the mistakes

27
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: I made, and nobody could keep judging me over and

28
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: over for my mistakes because it wasn't no cyberspace, you know,

29
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: there was no Internet, was no Instagram. My children sometimes

30
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: their mistakes get broadcast and they have to deal with it,

31
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 3: and then they had the extra burden of being my child.

32
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: So now here comes to most spotlight. And so it's

33
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: been kind of it's a tough spot to put him in.

34
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: But they all have made the necessary adjustments and they've

35
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: turned out to be some really really good young people.

36
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: Man. And uh, you know, let proud of a lot

37
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: of the accomplishments.

38
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: Any advice you can give to people who are dealing

39
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: with blended families because you have experience in.

40
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: That as well, I mean, it's not easy. It's difficult.

41
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: If you think parenting is difficult, blending has their own

42
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: set of challenges. Just the only thing that Marjorie I

43
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 3: did was we removed the term step Okay, we don't

44
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: have step children. We removed and they just are kids now.

45
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: And you know, if you want end of that party,

46
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 3: you welcome if you want to step outside of it,

47
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: because you feel in some kind of way they're gonna

48
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: get you step in but me and that you're been sad.
