Is this, like, shows that I'm looking forward to? Is this, like, movie what category we have showed? Like, I watch TV. [00:05:32] Speaker A: Yeah. It's not like your favorite shows of all time or your desert island shows. It's like when you wake up and you think, first five shows that you want to watch, that you're going to put on at your house. You can give me shows that you watch, shows that you love for the background, whatever it is. I want to know what you're watching and what you find entertaining. [00:05:51] Speaker B: All right.

[00:08:00] Speaker B: Tween drama. [00:08:02] Speaker A: Okay. [00:08:02] Speaker B: I hated it. [00:08:03] Speaker A: Okay. But that's what you want. You're looking forward to watch it on tonight? [00:08:08] Speaker B: As soon as this monstrosity is over. [00:08:10] Speaker A: And you're going to watch it? [00:08:11] Speaker B: I'm going to watch it. I don't need to like the things that I watch. I have no problem putting on something terrible. [00:08:17] Speaker A: Okay. [00:08:17] Speaker B: At all. [00:08:19] Speaker A: I'm glad. So I think you had friends. King of the Hill, only murders in the building, generation V. And what's your fifth? And if you want, you can have a six man off the bench. [00:08:30] Speaker B: No need for a six man. I would just say my fifth, which is all time ranking over everything, is Bob's Burgers. [00:08:37] Speaker A: Bob's Burgers. I did know that you're a big Bob's Burgers fan. [00:08:39] Speaker B: Yeah. I did it for last best. [00:08:41] Speaker A: Yes. [00:08:42] Speaker B: I got it. Bob's is just the all time giggles when I'm watching. When I'm not watching, when I'm sleeping, it's in the background. Giggles all around. [00:08:48] Speaker A: Who's your favorite character on that show? [00:08:50] Speaker B: All of them. [00:08:50] Speaker A: All of them. [00:08:51] Speaker B: Bob, though, is my hero. [00:08:52] Speaker A: What about the Italian guy across the street? [00:08:54] Speaker B: I hate him. [00:08:55] Speaker A: He's racist. [00:08:59] Speaker B: Not Jimmy, but the other dude. [00:09:01] Speaker A: The one who stormed the Capitol. [00:09:02] Speaker B: Yeah, he stormed the Capitol, so I'm glad he's gone. [00:09:04] Speaker A: That's very, very funny. [00:09:05] Speaker B: I mean, I don't care. Like, you can have your views, but, like sorry. Fort tequilas. I just feel like storming the Capitol is aggressive. [00:09:15] Speaker A: It's very aggressive. [00:09:17] Speaker B: I took a knee for a while, and I got in trouble. You got to get in trouble if you're storming the Capitol. [00:09:21] Speaker A: Yeah, but I feel like those are two different things. Like, taking a knee is very offensive. It's making a point. You're putting people's lives in danger. [00:09:27] Speaker B: You're taking a knee. [00:09:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Storming the capitol. [00:09:30] Speaker B: You're just going on people's lives in danger. [00:09:31] Speaker A: Taking a knee, apparently, that's the vibe I've been getting from people taking a knee. [00:09:37] Speaker B: I don't like this podcast. It's too political. Let's move. Next subject. [00:09:45] Speaker A: Well, I was going to say, with the five episodes that you do like, the five shows that you do like, I think that brings us to our next one.

[00:10:02] Speaker A: Not at all. Which is kind of good. [00:10:05] Speaker B: Not one bit. [00:10:06] Speaker A: That's good. [00:10:07] Speaker B: It is, but sad. It should have affected me. [00:10:09] Speaker A: It should have, but it didn't. [00:10:11] Speaker B: It did not. [00:10:11] Speaker A: Wait, would you be considered a scab? No. Whatever needs that you got. [00:10:16] Speaker B: Subject, please. Okay. [00:10:18] Speaker A: Are there any shows that you're glad that are coming back, because the writer track is Last of US. Oh, yeah.

[00:11:14] Speaker B: No. [00:11:14] Speaker A: Nothing? No part of it? No mid journey? [00:11:18] Speaker B: No. [00:11:19] Speaker A: Chat GPT?

But one thing I got to say straight up, because it's what, October, 10 months in. First of all, they lie to you about pregnancy. They say nine months the whole time. We are ten months in. We found out we were pregnant in January. Or I'm sorry, we found out that we got pregnant in January, found it in February. But anyway, I digress. Yes, pregnancy is a lie. It's ten months of misery for the woman, and I think that they are heroes. But when I found out we were packing to go to Hawaii to work, and Jesse went home. She's packing. She takes forever to pack. I called to check in, and she's crying. Like, I knew right away. You can just tell when you're growing something's wrong. [00:17:43] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, I got a phone call. [00:17:46] Speaker B: But no, even like, pregnancy or not, you can just tell when something is not right. So right away, it was one of those moments where right away there was nothing she could say, where I knew, where she could try and convince me that something wasn't right. [00:17:58] Speaker A: Yes, you just heard it in her voice. [00:18:01] Speaker B: So I sit there. I'm like, Babe, hey, what's up? [00:18:04] Speaker A: Nothing. [00:18:04] Speaker B: Hey, what's up? Nothing. I'm like, Baby, tell me what's going on. Right? And she goes, I'm pregnant. Right. [00:18:13] Speaker A: And that's when the calm set in. [00:18:15] Speaker B: Right away. Right away. Calm. Right away. And my first response is, Great. We're not broken. [00:18:24] Speaker A: Man. [00:18:27] Speaker B: That's the truth. Because we both thought we were broken. We're just like, hey, I'll tell you that joke later. But real talk, like, we're just like, hey, it's been a while. I mean, you don't have popped out. [00:18:39] Speaker A: You don't have to tell me. [00:18:40] Speaker B: We weren't late. [00:18:41] Speaker A: But you were trying. But you weren't, like, preventing it. [00:18:44] Speaker B: To be honest, she's right there. I never prevented it. I didn't take proper precautions. [00:18:52] Speaker A: Well, I mean, like, what can you take besides a pill and a condom? [00:18:56] Speaker B: Let me put it this way. I left all responsibility on them, and that is not a good thing to do to all you people watching. [00:19:03] Speaker A: Yeah, we've talked about before that there needs to be a little more serious talk about male contraceptive. [00:19:10] Speaker B: Political. We're back in it. [00:19:12] Speaker A: It's not really political. [00:19:15] Speaker B: You take that to the south, then. [00:19:18] Speaker A: Aren'T you making it political? I'm just saying, humans in general doesn't matter what side of the aisle you go. [00:19:25] Speaker B: There would be more talk. But is that talk going to happen right now? [00:19:29] Speaker A: No, I was just bringing up a point, and you called it political. I didn't want to offend you, but I wanted you to get into it. You said that you guys weren't broken. I didn't know that that was something that you ever thought. Like, was that weighing on you? Did you actually think you were broken? Did you think that you could I. [00:19:44] Speaker B: Didn'T think I was broken. It was just a joke that we were telling each other because we weren't safe. [00:19:49] Speaker A: That sounds like some immature shit. [00:19:50] Speaker B: Oh, it was very immature. [00:19:52] Speaker A: Look at you, Daddy. [00:19:55] Speaker B: I wasn't scared, though. I think the question is you're trying to ask is, like, did I feel right? I think if this had happened ten years ago, twelve years ago, I would have gotten scared. But the answer to your question is yes. I was where I needed to be because I wasn't scared. I was just calm. I was like, all right, that is awesome. All right, cool. [00:20:13] Speaker A: That is awesome. [00:20:14] Speaker B: There was no, like, oh, should I got to think about this, or pretending to be calm, then freaking out? To be honest, I just started freaking out. [00:20:24] Speaker A: This is it. Nine days out is when the freak out started. [00:20:26] Speaker B: Yeah, because we're nine days out. [00:20:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:28] Speaker B: There's nothing that I can do for the ten months, not 910 months of pregnancy. You know what I'm saying? I'm just there to support. [00:20:35] Speaker A: That's the most important part. People don't talk about that. That's the most important part is being a supportive partner. [00:20:41] Speaker B: Well, why would you freak out then? Nothing's changed. I was still able to do almost everything. [00:20:46] Speaker A: Do you want me to tell you why it's freaky? [00:20:49] Speaker B: Sure. [00:20:50] Speaker A: Because there's a million things that can go wrong. [00:20:52] Speaker B: Okay. I'm not that kind of person, though. [00:20:55] Speaker A: Then why are you freaking out? [00:20:57] Speaker B: I'm freaking out because now I have to take care I'm not worried about things that are going to go wrong. [00:21:02] Speaker A: Oh, you're worried about the actual product that's about to be here? [00:21:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:05] Speaker A: Okay. So, yeah, that's a good thing to freak out about. Yeah. [00:21:11] Speaker B: And this is a bad comparison, but it's like when you make a steak, right? Are you worried about burning the steak? No. You want it to taste good. You worry about making it taste good. Right. I'm now realizing that this steak is about to be in my hand, and I got to make this motherfucker good. That is my honest comparison. I'm not worried about the bad. The only bad that can happen when you're making a steak is that you're going to burn it and it's going to be bad. I'm not worried about any bad whatsoever. I'm just like, oh, shit, now I got to start cooking this motherfucker. She's been cooking for ten months, not nine. Shit's a lie. She's been cooking for ten months. Right. Now I got to start cooking. [00:21:52] Speaker A: I wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be of analogy. I was actually very good. [00:21:55] Speaker B: I've been doing a lot of reading. This one helps a lot. We're pregnant. It's a book for men. [00:21:59] Speaker A: Nice. Who's it by? [00:22:01] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:22:02] Speaker A: We're pregnant. [00:22:03] Speaker B: First Time dad's Pregnancy Handbook. I don't know who's it by. Where do I find a culp? [00:22:08] Speaker A: Usually it's on the front, right under the title. [00:22:10] Speaker B: But it is Adrian Culp. [00:22:11] Speaker A: Yes. There it is. [00:22:12] Speaker B: Adrian Cole. [00:22:13] Speaker A: Adrian Culp. We're pregnant. And you like this book. Would you recommend this book to new dads? Dads on the way. [00:22:20] Speaker B: Like is a strong term. I think it's just very textbook informative. It just breaks down by weeks. Okay. [00:22:30] Speaker A: He's looking over his shoulder right now because I think he's about to say something stupid. Yeah. Okay. And now Jesse's looking over here because, see, this is the type of things that you don't realize. Arenze is a smart dude. You're a smart guy. Because he could have just said something, but he likes not getting stabbed. For all the guys who don't know, Arenze, sweet girlfriend is also a delgado, so there's, like, 25% of stabbiness in there. No, she can't hear you. Okay. She can listen to the podcast when it comes out. Take that back down to 35%. [00:23:14] Speaker B: Blaine, how can you hear me, man? [00:23:18] Speaker A: You're a bad whisperer. You're a bad whisperer. All right. My brother's like, hey, I got to tell you a secret. You're a bad whisperer. [00:23:28] Speaker B: I don't understand. [00:23:29] Speaker A: Because you're a bad whisperer. All right. Okay. Well, another question I have for you is being from your background, that I'm very aware of, and Jesse, being from her background, are there any cultural differences? Are you done? Do you have something to say? So, yeah, this is why you shouldn't do interviews with family. Well, do you want me to hold on? I'm not going to hold on. I'm just asking you a question. If these are too hard for you to answer, you could just say I don't want to answer them. All right? So I'm going to go ahead and ask you, and then you let me know if this is too hard to handle. So there's cultural differences that you do like, have you and Jesse had that talk about how you're going to raise this child? You got a little Jew girl coming on? [00:24:30] Speaker B: No. [00:24:32] Speaker A: But you know you're raising it. You're going to have a Jewish child. [00:24:34] Speaker B: Yes. [00:24:35] Speaker A: Are you stoked about that? [00:24:36] Speaker B: Indifferent. [00:24:37] Speaker A: Indifferent. [00:24:38] Speaker B: I like the holidays. [00:24:39] Speaker A: You like the Ba'mitzvah and the Yom Kippurs. [00:24:41] Speaker B: We're going to do that. [00:24:42] Speaker A: You don't think you're going to do Yom Kippur? [00:24:43] Speaker B: But I don't know. [00:24:44] Speaker A: What about param? [00:24:44] Speaker B: I don't know if we're doing the holidays, anything where we get to party and get together as FAM. We'll do it. [00:24:49] Speaker A: Sakot. Sakot. [00:24:56] Speaker B: It just passed. So let's talk about next year. [00:24:58] Speaker A: Okay. Well, that was one of the questions I had. [00:25:02] Speaker B: No, but we've spoken about it. We haven't harped on it. We're different in that. See, the thing is that you all don't know that are listening, watching. Apparently you can do both. Justin and I have been friends for twelve years, so it's like we know each other and I think we just like moving forward on this and yeah, there's going to be surprises, but all these sit down talks and putting pressure on this decision, that decision, this and that, I think that's what causes distance. And it's like we're just staying strong in our friendship and our bond is who we are and the baby's just coming along for the ride. If we have to talk about it, we'll talk about it then. [00:25:43] Speaker A: Just like just no reason to discuss something that isn't an issue or prepare. [00:25:49] Speaker B: What do you mean? Say that again. [00:25:50] Speaker A: There's going to be family pressure for certain things, I guess. You're having a girl. If you were having a boy circumcision, would you circumcise or not? [00:26:01] Speaker B: Yes. [00:26:02] Speaker A: Is there a reason? [00:26:03] Speaker B: Because I was circumcised. I think it's weird to not be okay. [00:26:07] Speaker A: I mean, that's why I circumcised. My son. I was just like I thought I'm. [00:26:12] Speaker B: Guessing, like you said, she's Jewish. I think there'd be a whole party for it, which I would support. Party to circumcise. Great. [00:26:18] Speaker A: You're all about the party. I think you get off a lot easier here because there's like a party for everything. So you're just like stoked about it. [00:26:25] Speaker B: I'm fine with everything. Okay. I'm excited. [00:26:29] Speaker A: All right. Is there anything that you've had in your upbringing that you think were good things to pass along and there's cycles that you would break? Like there's things that you're like I'm not going to do that to my child. I was not being raised that way. Whether it's discipline or religion, there's just things that you want to keep going and things you want to discontinue. Have you thought about that? [00:26:54] Speaker B: Amber getting deep. Okay. I like this. Did you think I was just going. [00:26:59] Speaker A: To come here and make fun of you and roast you for a little bit? [00:27:01] Speaker B: Yeah, man. [00:27:02] Speaker A: No, I just wanted to find like this is exciting, but we don't even. [00:27:04] Speaker B: Talk like this in real life. [00:27:06] Speaker A: Yeah. That's why you were doing this here. [00:27:08] Speaker B: So he's producing me. Yeah, I see that. I'm not mad at it. [00:27:12] Speaker A: You know all the tricks. [00:27:13] Speaker B: I do know the tricks, but I think everything that happened to me as a child made me who I am. So I'm not mad at it. Right. Everything that was done from my mom's side, dad's side, siblings, school life, everything was perfect. I'm not one of those that thinks that my parents did anything wrong. Right. I don't believe that. Because if they did something wrong, then I wouldn't be as sounding conceited, as great as I feel like I am now. [00:27:43] Speaker A: Yeah, right. [00:27:44] Speaker B: It's not conceited, but it's like if what they did produced this. And this isn't bad, then what was bad about what they did? I'm not going to sit here and think I can do better. If I end up doing better, great. Right. So the umbrella answer would be no. I don't think there's anything I'm trying to break. If I really dissect it, then it's like, all right, cool. Maybe I would try and do my best to keep promises. Right. Just keep promises. My parents wanted to do the best. They promised a lot, they just couldn't. Sometimes they surprised and went well above, as you know, my parents or your parents. Right. So I think Nigerian rage discipline is a different thing, right? Yeah. [00:28:40] Speaker A: I think you can draw a straight line, a literal straight line from the Jewish guilt of a parent and the Nigerian guilt of a parent. [00:28:50] Speaker B: My mom said that I was going to kill her at least 700 million times. [00:28:53] Speaker A: Yeah, it's at least 700 million times. You could see how the drama is. [00:29:04] Speaker B: I think that guilt of, like, I don't want my kids to feel bad about things, but at the same time feeling bad as the oldest one, the one that had responsibility and had to actually do things growing up. Unlike this child sitting next to me. [00:29:20] Speaker A: No, I mean, a lot of people don't know this, we don't talk about it, but you had to become a man at a very young age, like, because our parent because our parents split, like, the oldest child just turned into a parent. You were another parent. You got blamed for the things that we did. You were responsible for some of the things we did. [00:29:44] Speaker B: You're aware of this? [00:29:45] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:29:46] Speaker B: Wow, this is a great podcast. [00:29:48] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:29:48] Speaker B: Full. I've come all the way around. Oh, yeah. I did not know you knew this. [00:29:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:53] Speaker B: So you knew this and you were still a dickhead? [00:29:55] Speaker A: Yes. [00:29:56] Speaker B: Wow. [00:29:57] Speaker A: Yes. What do you think I was part of toughening you up? You just said you would not change anything. I'm just did I sign something? [00:30:09] Speaker B: How do I take some things back? No. Yeah. I had to do things growing up, but the weight of responsibility made me feel bad at times as a kid, but it also created who I am today. Like, I have more shit on my plate than most people do all the time. It doesn't faze me. [00:30:33] Speaker A: You got a lot of cocka on your plate. [00:30:35] Speaker B: Wow. That's a different way to say exactly what I said. And I don't like when you said it. I know. [00:30:40] Speaker A: I suggest pointing it out. [00:30:41] Speaker B: I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it. I have a lot of really responsible, important things on my plate. [00:30:47] Speaker A: Yeah, you got a lot of stuff on your plate. [00:30:50] Speaker B: Hate this motherfucker. Fucking hate this guy. [00:30:53] Speaker A: So there is like this natural thing that happens, our hatred. Yeah, it's like normal things that would happen where I want to fight you. Yeah. [00:31:04] Speaker B: Why do we stop fighting? Like physically fighting? Do you know why? [00:31:07] Speaker A: Yeah, I got terribly out of shape. No, for me, it's why? Because sometimes I look at you and I'm like, I'll look at you and I'll get so fucking pissed. And I'm like, I'm just going to tackle him over this. And then I wonder like, oh, what if one of his metal knees breaks? Or what if I lose my breath? [00:31:26] Speaker B: I'll tell you why I know we stopped fighting, okay? Because when we fought, it was like Godzilla and what is it, mantra. [00:31:32] Speaker A: Who's the other one? Mothra. [00:31:34] Speaker B: Mothra. Yo, we fucked the environment up. [00:31:37] Speaker A: Yeah, well, there was a mix of. [00:31:43] Speaker B: We would walk away with maybe like a pulled hair follicle. Right. But our environment would cost thousands to repair. [00:31:50] Speaker A: I think there's a mix of growing up in the Raw era of the WWE, formerly known as the WWF, where we did things that obviously wouldn't work in real life. And I felt bad for that one apartment. [00:32:04] Speaker B: Remember that one apartment we stayed in for a little bit? Yeah, man, that was a brutal fight. [00:32:08] Speaker A: Yeah, that was at Northridge. [00:32:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I remember that's when I'll never forget that's. [00:32:12] Speaker A: The first time you punched me in the face. Yes. [00:32:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:32:16] Speaker A: Because remember the way I came at you was the way that you would tackle or try to choke you and hit you if things got but like, I walked up to you talking shit and you cracked me in the face and I was like, oh, we punch it. It took me by surprise. I was like, oh, yeah, this fool wants to fight. [00:32:35] Speaker B: Talk a lot, though. [00:32:36] Speaker A: Yeah, man. [00:32:37] Speaker B: And as the older brother, which we've established, I had to grow up and had responsibilities. My Nigerian rage kicked in and I felt like I had to whoop this motherfucker's ass. [00:32:46] Speaker A: So these are the things that we're talking about, where like I'm not mad about it, though. Are these things that you want to implement as a father? Because yeah, you're going to have a baby and she's going to be cute, but she's going to talk back. [00:32:58] Speaker B: I think you're first of all, it's a baby girl. I can never implement any of these. I would leave it to Jesse to implement. Baby girl, you better go. Whoop. No, I'm just kidding. But no, I think you having Ozo, I think that's a different thing. That's where real talk, watching you raise Ozo, I'm like, damn, he's doing things different. I see it. I see you doing things different. Because we were men raised by Nigerian parents, right. And he got a credit to our pops. He never really spanked us unless he had to. When he got up, we knew we fucked up. [00:33:37] Speaker A: Yeah, right. He had the step. He had the step. [00:33:39] Speaker B: When he stood up, it was game over. [00:33:42] Speaker A: He had the step. [00:33:42] Speaker B: He didn't stand up that much. Now our mom, though, right? She would have us go break our own switches off in the back. [00:33:49] Speaker A: I've talked about that belt. [00:33:51] Speaker B: She had a drawer of belts. [00:33:53] Speaker A: We've never seen her wear those belts. [00:33:55] Speaker B: Yeah, she never wore those were straight. For whooping? [00:33:57] Speaker A: Those were threatening belts. [00:33:58] Speaker B: Those belts. [00:33:59] Speaker A: Remember the one with the fucking leather tassels and the beads? What the fuck was that for? She never wore. [00:34:06] Speaker B: Just she's like, oh, you think you're getting too big to get spaked? Look at this. [00:34:14] Speaker A: Wool. Yeah, man. My mom came with a heavy hand. And did you have the same crisis when you're sitting there at the lemon tree in the backyard back in Cunden? Just like, all right, this is thin. This is way too thin. I feel like a whip. This is too big. It's going to break the skin. [00:34:28] Speaker B: Well, the thing is, we knew that. She knew that if we got a stick that was too small, she'd make us get another one, right? She'd whip us with that one first and then make us get we knew that if we didn't get the perfect. [00:34:39] Speaker A: One, you're going to get more lashes than you deserve. [00:34:44] Speaker B: The spankings didn't bother me. I'm not going to lie. The spankings didn't bother me. [00:34:47] Speaker A: I was able to fake the spankings. [00:34:52] Speaker B: Our mom is four foot nothing. She lost her gusto when we were, like, six. But when she started getting clever with those punishments, like kneeling. [00:35:04] Speaker A: The kneeling. I remember I told this diabolical story on the pod, and I want to know if you remember this. When we were going to, like, a middle school dance and we got the tickets to the dance. [00:35:19] Speaker B: This one, this one where you couldn't go to dance. Oh, my God. Yeah, that was mean. That was clever, though. [00:35:23] Speaker A: That was mean. [00:35:25] Speaker B: That one got you. Because if we want to get real, getting in trouble did not bother you. It did not bother you because a lot of it fell on me. So she had to get clever on things that bothered you, right? You didn't care. Like, this motherfucker used to laugh when we would get spanked because if he got in trouble, I was getting some of it, too. [00:35:48] Speaker A: It was usually your fault, but go ahead. [00:35:50] Speaker B: Let's not go there. I have a nice place. I'm trying to fuck this place. [00:35:55] Speaker A: Mothra. [00:35:56] Speaker B: Wait. [00:35:56] Speaker A: Why am I identifying as Mothra? I'm Godzilla, goddamn it. [00:36:00] Speaker B: You can be whatever you want, bro. [00:36:02] Speaker A: Thank you. See that? [00:36:02] Speaker B: You can be whatever you want. [00:36:03] Speaker A: Thank you. I wasn't going to call you King Kong because it's racist again. [00:36:09] Speaker B: Political. [00:36:09] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:36:11] Speaker B: I would rather be King Kong. [00:36:13] Speaker A: All right. You could be King Kong. [00:36:14] Speaker B: He ain't got shit on me, though. [00:36:16] Speaker A: That was bad. Look at the dad jokes coming in. [00:36:21] Speaker B: Where do we go? We digress. Is it break time yet? No. [00:36:27] Speaker A: More tequila for you. [00:36:28] Speaker B: No, I want some more tequila. [00:36:29] Speaker A: Well, no, we were talking about the dance that I didn't get to go to. And you were explaining that me getting in trouble didn't bother me. It did bother me. But I'm the type of guy that every time the sun went down, I was so optimistic for the next day. I just thought every time there's a new day, I look at it as a reset. Some things I will pull into the next day and it will ruin my entire day. So I try not to do that. [00:36:53] Speaker B: It's good advice. Every day is a new day. [00:36:56] Speaker A: Every day is a new day. Do you have enough time when you go to bed and you wake up the next morning you can't honestly say that there's no optimism. Even some people, even when you're in the worst situation, you got to look forward. You got to look like you can do something new. But yes. For those of you who hadn't listened to our last episode, I'll make it real quick. I was supposed to go to a dance. I got in trouble. I got a bad report card. The week later was the dance. My mom bought us the tickets for the dance. My mom took us to Berlin coat factory. We got suits and all suited for the dance. Suited and booted for the dance. Got ready, I got dressed for the dance. My mom was like taking pictures of us before the dance. And then right when we're walking out of the door, my mom turns to me and says where do you think you're going? You had bad grades. You're staying here. Finish the laundry. You don't deserve to go. [00:37:49] Speaker B: Just real quick before we go to break. Which I'm sensing is coming soon. It is, right? That's what I'm talking about with the whole promises thing. Right? [00:37:56] Speaker A: Because it affects people. [00:37:57] Speaker B: It did though, because I understood the punishment for bad grades. But those gifts, we didn't get them for good grades. No, we didn't. [00:38:03] Speaker A: Well, that's another thing about parenting. Do you think rewarding? Because I always think it takes like 1000 rewards to make up for one fuck up as a no. [00:38:14] Speaker B: See, that's because you're soft. [00:38:16] Speaker A: No, I just think I see kids deal with this stuff. Like if you tell a kid he's an idiot or if you say a kid is bad, that kid's going to feel bad for a very long time. [00:38:25] Speaker B: See, but I did not feel that way if I was bad. I wanted to be good and I knew I could be good with these actions. So I see what you're saying, but let's go to commercial break. [00:38:34] Speaker A: We're not going to go to commercial. [00:38:37] Speaker B: That was going to be good. [00:38:40] Speaker A: You think that this is really trying something. [00:38:43] Speaker B: There my first pot. You know, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. [00:38:52] Speaker A: Well, here, I have a couple of things that I want to run by you. See how prepared you are. I wanted to give you some items and I wanted you to let me know if you think these are okay to give a newborn baby or not. [00:39:02] Speaker B: Okay. [00:39:02] Speaker A: I want to know how much game are we at? The game portion. You can call it a game. [00:39:07] Speaker B: I thought the game portion was the end. [00:39:08] Speaker A: It's not a game. I'm just asking you questions. [00:39:11] Speaker B: Game function. [00:39:13] Speaker A: All right, tell me yes or no. Can you give these things to a newborn baby? [00:39:16] Speaker B: Okay. Sounds like a game. [00:39:18] Speaker A: The first one is water. [00:39:21] Speaker B: No. [00:39:22] Speaker A: Good job. Cow's milk. [00:39:26] Speaker B: No. [00:39:27] Speaker A: Okay. Honey. [00:39:30] Speaker B: No. [00:39:30] Speaker A: Good job. Good job. Popcorn. [00:39:33] Speaker B: No. [00:39:34] Speaker A: Good job. Good job, children's. Tylenol. [00:39:36] Speaker B: Well, you have to talk to your physician first. [00:39:40] Speaker A: Hey. A plus. A plus on everything. A plus on everything. Look at that. Because this is a podcast. My brother's pointing at the book. [00:39:49] Speaker B: Wait, see, I don't understand that motherfuckers are watching this, but then sometimes they're not. I am looking at the book. We are pregnant. [00:39:56] Speaker A: Oh, my God. You are so bad at this. [00:40:00] Speaker B: I don't like this shit. [00:40:03] Speaker A: Well, so, like, as a typical black man that kind of grew up estranged from his father, I would like to know jesus reading the question, it's just super fucked up, but just plain Jesus. I wanted to know the father figure you thought that you were going to be when you grew up. Did you always wanted to be a father? No. If it happens, it happens. Did you want to be a father? Because there's some people who are like, I can't wait to be a dad. [00:40:37] Speaker B: I was an older brother and the oldest brother. I've always been a father. So when it happened, it seemed natural. This is nothing new for me. I'm the father of this household. I'm the father of that household. I'm the father of my football team, the father of my crews. [00:40:56] Speaker A: You've always had, like, this father mentality. [00:40:59] Speaker B: No, it's just I have to fucking do shit or no one's going to do it mentality. [00:41:03] Speaker A: Well, you did go through a phase where you were just wiling out of control. [00:41:06] Speaker B: Yeah, because of you, nigga. That's because of you. You did that. [00:41:12] Speaker A: I don't think I did it. [00:41:13] Speaker B: You did that. [00:41:14] Speaker A: I don't know if I did it. Okay? I can name a million things that happened besides me, but I will take the risk. [00:41:21] Speaker B: Go ahead, talk about it. You want to talk about it? Talk about it. Name one. I'll tell you how it's your fault. [00:41:24] Speaker A: Okay? When you crashed a golf cart into the side of theater building in high. [00:41:29] Speaker B: School, your fault because you got to wild out and do whatever you wanted. Everyone laughed at it for me. I got in trouble. Go ahead. [00:41:33] Speaker A: Next. Okay. You took a dump in the drawer of a substitute teacher. [00:41:39] Speaker B: Same answer you thought because same answer. [00:41:47] Speaker A: I'm not going to give you any more examples. I'm kind of getting the theme here. Okay. [00:41:51] Speaker B: Can't stop a two. That's production rule number one. You got to give them three. Rule of thirds. [00:41:56] Speaker A: God, you all rookies now, man. You're going off a scripted format. This is real. [00:42:02] Speaker B: In real life, you go off three. [00:42:05] Speaker A: No, this is not it. I'm stopping it right there. [00:42:08] Speaker B: So I would like to start a survey. Are you happy with two, or would you have preferred a third? Remember back in the day there was a song, nine, 10 00:24? Yeah. [00:42:18] Speaker A: I called it. [00:42:19] Speaker B: This motherfucker called. [00:42:20] Speaker A: I called it. [00:42:20] Speaker B: He called. You know what that calls? 911. [00:42:23] Speaker A: You know who got in trouble for that shit? Why don't you take the phone out of my hand? [00:42:28] Speaker B: Can we go to break now? That was a perfect segue plane. Do your job. Go to break. [00:42:34] Speaker A: I don't know why you're blaming Blaine for this. And we're back, ladies and gentlemen. Back here again with Mr. Ekamafuna. Not myself, the other one. How you feeling? [00:43:04] Speaker B: Great. [00:43:05] Speaker A: That's it. All right. He's not giving me much, but all right. So, as you see on this table right here, we've got some different items. Can you tell me what you see in front of you? [00:43:15] Speaker B: Looks like baby food. [00:43:16] Speaker A: That's right. We're going to have our first ever baby food test on a game I'd like to call Gerber. [00:43:22] Speaker B: You got it. [00:43:27] Speaker A: All right. You could be the first one to pick one. The way the game goes is we're both going to take a little sample, not a whole one, and try to guess exactly what it is. [00:43:36] Speaker B: Okay. [00:43:36] Speaker A: All right. Would you like to take the first pick? [00:43:38] Speaker B: Far left, bottom. [00:43:41] Speaker A: Far left. The bottom. I'm assuming you mean this one. [00:43:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:44] Speaker A: Okay. Would you like to grab a spoon? [00:43:47] Speaker B: Sure. [00:43:47] Speaker A: Here you go. Would you like to take the maiden voyage? [00:43:50] Speaker B: Not all you, bro. [00:43:51] Speaker A: Okay. I didn't think about that being the first one. All right, here you go. I'm smelling some notes here. [00:44:01] Speaker B: Cran applesauce. [00:44:02] Speaker A: I'm thinking like a strawberry banana. You said cran applesauce. Yeah, there's apple on that second one. I tasted apple. Do you think cranberry? [00:44:14] Speaker B: I don't taste banana. [00:44:17] Speaker A: Is that not okay, I believe we have the so you said oh, apple. Cherry. Apple, cherry. [00:44:28] Speaker B: Cherry is kind of a cranberry. [00:44:30] Speaker A: Is it? [00:44:30] Speaker B: I would say it's on a similar they're similar notes. [00:44:35] Speaker A: Okay. I'm going to go for the green one. I have a question. Is your favorite color red? [00:44:43] Speaker B: No. [00:44:43] Speaker A: Do you remember when it was just assumed that your favorite color was red? [00:44:48] Speaker B: No. [00:44:49] Speaker A: Remember growing up, I would get everything green. You would get everything red? [00:44:55] Speaker B: No, I thought it was blue. [00:44:58] Speaker A: I know you had a blue bike lock. That's the only thing I know that you had that was blue. [00:45:02] Speaker B: What did I have that was red? [00:45:04] Speaker A: I can't think of anything now. [00:45:06] Speaker B: All right. [00:45:08] Speaker A: I just remember, like, toothbrushes and cups and stuff that we had. And I had my green cup. You had your red. I remember that burgundy plate and burgundy. [00:45:16] Speaker B: My two favorite colors were blue and red, for sure. [00:45:21] Speaker A: That's weird. [00:45:22] Speaker B: It was, especially seeing as we grew up on the border of both those gang countries. [00:45:26] Speaker A: Yeah, kind of weird. [00:45:28] Speaker B: I didn't know who I was. [00:45:31] Speaker A: I felt like you seemed like you leaned red a little bit. [00:45:37] Speaker B: I rolled to the blue, but I was homies of both crews. [00:45:40] Speaker A: I'm not going to say these out loud because I'm a working man. Here you go. So this next one has a little bit of a green note. [00:45:49] Speaker B: So green color, not note. [00:45:52] Speaker A: A green color, not note. Sorry. But when I smell it, it has. [00:45:57] Speaker B: Like, a green bean. Crap. This is terrible. [00:46:03] Speaker A: That's a green bean. That's some type of bean. [00:46:05] Speaker B: It's a pea. [00:46:06] Speaker A: It's a pea. Was it green pea? [00:46:07] Speaker B: It just says pea. [00:46:09] Speaker A: That is disgusting. [00:46:11] Speaker B: I don't see any baby that would like that or any human. [00:46:14] Speaker A: Oh, that is bad. Green pea. [00:46:17] Speaker B: Not a fan. [00:46:18] Speaker A: Not a fan at all. Which is the next one we're going with? You're picking top left. Oh, give it a grab. [00:46:23] Speaker B: Give it a grab. [00:46:24] Speaker A: That green pea is disgusting. All right. Okay. You got a little whiff. Tell me what you're smelling right now. [00:46:32] Speaker B: It smells like applesauce. [00:46:34] Speaker A: Are you going to assume everything is applesauce? [00:46:36] Speaker B: This one smells like applesauce. [00:46:38] Speaker A: Okay. I like the way you're swirling it around and dipping your spoon in like you're part of the royal family. [00:46:44] Speaker B: Have you seen my place? I'm bougie bitch. [00:46:47] Speaker A: There's a lot of gold in here. [00:46:50] Speaker B: Bougie. There was also a layer of film, so I had to break that up, mix it in. [00:46:56] Speaker A: What do you think? Your face is telling me that you don't hate it, but you don't like it, but you can't guess what it is. [00:47:05] Speaker B: That's correct. On all fronts. [00:47:07] Speaker A: All fronts. Give me some of that. Let me taste this. [00:47:10] Speaker B: Thanks, Patrick. [00:47:12] Speaker A: Is it okay? Francis? [00:47:15] Speaker B: Yeah, that's my middle name. That's your middle name? [00:47:17] Speaker A: Now I taste banana. [00:47:19] Speaker B: Strawberry banana. That's what I'm going with. [00:47:20] Speaker A: You're going strawberry banana. That's not good. [00:47:23] Speaker B: Strawberry bad tastes. It's pear. [00:47:27] Speaker A: It is pear. Does that taste like pear to you? [00:47:29] Speaker B: Can you identify a pear in a grocery store? [00:47:32] Speaker A: Like, can I look at a pear and know that it's a pear? [00:47:35] Speaker B: When's the last time you saw a pear? [00:47:36] Speaker A: Well, I don't think that's fair because I eat pears regularly. [00:47:38] Speaker B: Oh, I haven't seen a pear in years. [00:47:40] Speaker A: When's the last time you went to a grocery store? [00:47:42] Speaker B: All the time. [00:47:44] Speaker A: You don't get pears. [00:47:45] Speaker B: I feel like they're not out in the middle. They're not one of the good fruits. [00:47:49] Speaker A: Okay. This is a conspiracy theory that I can get with. They're not out. [00:47:54] Speaker B: You don't see pears bundled up. Like, you see oranges, tangerines, strawberries, bananas. Those are always front and center. [00:48:00] Speaker A: You name, like, the most popular fruits. [00:48:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Where the fuck are the pears? [00:48:03] Speaker A: I mean, when's the last time you. [00:48:04] Speaker B: Saw a kiwi they're seasonal. Kiwis. When they're out they're popping. [00:48:09] Speaker A: Are pears seasonal? Aren't pears seasonal? [00:48:12] Speaker B: Haven't seen one. Okay. Haven't seen a pear. [00:48:15] Speaker A: What about a mango? [00:48:17] Speaker B: Seasonal? Yeah, they come through. They pop when it's their turn. [00:48:20] Speaker A: What about strawberries? [00:48:21] Speaker B: Seasonal in California year round. [00:48:24] Speaker A: All right. What about strawberry? Not strawberries. Pineapples. [00:48:27] Speaker B: Again, all of these motherfuckers. I see. [00:48:29] Speaker A: But I just saying, like pears. They could be seasonal. [00:48:34] Speaker B: What's the season? I haven't seen them. I don't understand what confusion is. [00:48:39] Speaker A: So have you seen an asian pear? [00:48:41] Speaker B: No pears. [00:48:43] Speaker A: Well, in your life. I'm asking if you've seen an asian pair. [00:48:46] Speaker B: Know what an asian pair is? [00:48:47] Speaker A: It's like a big brown apple. It's like this big. [00:48:50] Speaker B: Then I wouldn't know. It's an asian pair. [00:48:52] Speaker A: You probably saw it and like, look at that fucking ugly ass apple and had no idea it was a pair. [00:48:56] Speaker B: Probably didn't because they don't put pears out. [00:49:00] Speaker A: I can get with this conspiracy theory. [00:49:03] Speaker B: Show me where the pears are. [00:49:05] Speaker A: I can. I don't work at a store. But next time I'm at one I'm going to take a picture of one and send it to you and be like, look, pairs out. All right. [00:49:13] Speaker B: Hashtag no pairs. [00:49:15] Speaker A: Okay. [00:49:17] Speaker B: Where are the pears? Oh, my god. That's carrot. I don't even want it. I'm not going to do it. My guess is carrot. Oh, my god. I'm not doing it. [00:49:29] Speaker A: Come on, man. Now, is there a reason that you. [00:49:33] Speaker B: Won'T taste this because of your reaction? [00:49:35] Speaker A: It is not good. [00:49:36] Speaker B: Why would I do that? [00:49:37] Speaker A: Because I thought you're going to be a team player. I'm not play the game? [00:49:40] Speaker B: No. All right. [00:49:42] Speaker A: So it looks like I'm the only one that was tasting this. Jesse's asking you to do it. [00:49:49] Speaker B: I will not. [00:49:50] Speaker A: Jesse, he said he will not do it. He said for me and he said arenzi whispered? No, he didn't say it out loud. So I do want to point it out. Come on, man. This is the first it's part of the game. [00:50:03] Speaker B: I don't understand why jesse does do that to me. All the she's like, this is terrible. Eat it. Why would I do that? [00:50:08] Speaker A: Well, I don't want to do that at a restaurant. Jesse, you want to come over here and give it a try? All right. We have another special guest coming in here. Can you hand this to jesse? [00:50:19] Speaker B: Come into the space. [00:50:20] Speaker A: Yeah, get over here. [00:50:21] Speaker B: We got to circle around. [00:50:23] Speaker A: Get over here. [00:50:24] Speaker B: You got to get low so it's not just all belly. [00:50:29] Speaker A: Don't smell it. Okay. Don't smell it. [00:50:33] Speaker B: It smells kind of good. [00:50:34] Speaker A: Okay. That's a big one. [00:50:41] Speaker B: See, she tried to hide her face, too. [00:50:46] Speaker A: Chicken noodle. Oh, I'll taste chicken noodle. [00:50:48] Speaker B: How you put chicken noodle on baby food? [00:50:53] Speaker A: It smells kind of nice. [00:50:56] Speaker B: Oh, that is not good. [00:51:03] Speaker A: I have never seen you frozen with frustration before at this age. [00:51:08] Speaker B: That was the worst. I feel like a baby puked. It in my mouth. [00:51:11] Speaker A: Yeah, I almost threw up. I'll tell you right now. I almost threw up. [00:51:14] Speaker B: I'm serious. I need something. Can you give me tequila, please? [00:51:16] Speaker A: I need something. [00:51:17] Speaker B: I don't want to swallow. It's coated my mouth. [00:51:20] Speaker A: There's something it's really bad. I'm glad that's the last one that we tasted. [00:51:35] Speaker B: This can't be natural. What GMOs did I just put in my body? [00:51:38] Speaker A: I don't know if there's any GMOs in there. [00:51:40] Speaker B: What the fuck did I just put in my body? [00:51:42] Speaker A: Chicken. Noodle, that's bullshit. [00:51:45] Speaker B: That's absolute bullshit. [00:51:46] Speaker A: Well, I think there's a part of the broth and the soup that makes it good, but if you just crush. [00:51:52] Speaker B: Up some chicken and worm, is that supposed to be like, watered down? [00:51:55] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:51:56] Speaker B: Salt that shit. [00:51:57] Speaker A: So, just so you know, newborns babies like their taste buds. They're not fully developed, so it's just nutrients. [00:52:04] Speaker B: So what is the nutrients? Are there more nutrients or different nutrients than the others? [00:52:10] Speaker A: I think so. [00:52:11] Speaker B: I feel like I shouldn't be taking advice from you right now. [00:52:13] Speaker A: I don't think you should be. I think this one is higher in protein. And actually, I know that toddlers do have tastes, and not even toddlers. Like, when you have an eight month old or a six month old and you give them something they don't like, they're just like, that was horrible. I've seen Ozo eat a lemon and his physical facial reaction to something, but he took another bite right after that. Like, he did not learn. [00:52:38] Speaker B: Horrible. [00:52:40] Speaker A: It was bad. [00:52:44] Speaker B: I don't know what you would call it, but I want to Karen the situation and write petitions. [00:52:48] Speaker A: Oh, you want to get me canceled? [00:52:49] Speaker B: Not you. [00:52:51] Speaker A: Food. [00:52:53] Speaker B: That is terrible. [00:52:55] Speaker A: It's not good. It's not good. Do you think that Jessie betrayed you by saying it wasn't bad? [00:53:01] Speaker B: No. I saw it on her face that she thought it was bad. And then she told me what it was, and I was like, oh, we have different tastes. And chicken noodles sounds delicious. I smelled it. It seemed like it wouldn't be bad. That's a complete deception. [00:53:13] Speaker A: Yeah. Did you see my face when I tasted it? [00:53:15] Speaker B: But you are an exaggerator. [00:53:17] Speaker A: Was I exaggerating? [00:53:19] Speaker B: Not this time. That was terrible. [00:53:24] Speaker A: That was the worst thing ever. [00:53:25] Speaker B: I'm very upset, very mad. [00:53:32] Speaker A: I'm sorry that I had to do that to you. So before we go before we go, I'm sorry that you had to taste that. But if you had to say one thing to arenze six months from now, what would it be? [00:53:47] Speaker B: Don't do this podcast. [00:53:50] Speaker A: Okay. There it is. You guys are here. I would like to thank my special co host to Reze for coming in. [00:53:59] Speaker B: Co host? [00:53:59] Speaker A: Yeah, co host.

[00:54:08] Speaker B: Do y'all know how long these things take? [00:54:09] Speaker A: Thank you so much. [00:54:11] Speaker B: How long this shit takes. [00:54:13] Speaker A: Thank you so much much. Everybody, this is Papa Don't Preach. We'll be back. Peace out, y'all. [00:54:24] Speaker B: See you next week.
