So my dad was like the security guy at Best Buy. You need a receipt. Where'd you get it from?
And where'd you make the money? You couldn't just bring stolen anything.
Into the house. Yeah, yeah. I had a friend, Seymour. His mother would be shouting out requests.
But it was just a different kind of upbringing, you know? And that fear kept me out of a lot of trouble. Stuff that I would think about doing, I wouldn't do because I thought about my dad. If I got arrested, you know what? Keep me here, officer.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know, I don't want my father picking me up. I wouldn't even tell him my name. I'm serious. I was arrested. Well, today just let me go because I wasn't telling my name.
Yes.
Nope, never.
My mom said, get out of here with that stupid look on your face. That's exactly it.
The other thing we had to do was... dinner time altogether.
I know that if we had a phone, if we had dinner, well, even when we didn't have dinner, we had to sit around so he could tell us there ain't no food. And then we'd have a discussion about it. But, you know, dinner was something that you didn't have an option. It was no, can I go? That was the same way in our house. Sit your butt down in your seat and eat. And then we had to clean up.
Like I would have to wash dishes or I would have to, you know, take out the garbage to clean. You know, each one had an assignment. So those kind of things you realize we can't watch TV until we all do this. Until the kitchen is clean. Right? So it's simple things like that that teach your kids to work together.
And it's weird how that is in the next generation. I was just going to ask that. How you doing with your own kids? Amar and Anaya. You got Anaya in Berlin that paired up. You got Kayden and Maverick. Each one has their...
You know, and some things I should have done just like my parents. But I was so, like, traumatized growing up that, like, with my kids, my sons, I didn't like spanking them. I hated when I had to spank them. Like, it hurt me.
But see, boys are different, though. Like, boys are actively seeking...
They just do the stupidest thing. They jump off the roof. My son would jump off the roof into the pool. Yeah. Watch this, Dad. And he's in the pool. And you just go, do you know how many different ways you could hurt yourself? But that was their thing, riding the bike down the hill backwards. It's like, what are you guys doing?
But that's just something in, I think, boys' DNA that just makes them just a little aggressive and stupid. You know, whereas my daughters, I talk to them. You know, I frustrate them, you know, because like with my daughters, I realize, you know, at a certain age, they don't want to hear what you guys are saying.
Yeah. And so what I do is go, well— You're right where you want to be, baby. And when you get tired of being there, you'll change. That doesn't help me right now. But I know that I can't tell you. You don't want to hear what I have to say about your boyfriend.
You realize if you try to stay with the boyfriend, say something about someone's boyfriend, then you're attacking their ability to pick someone for themselves. So they defend them. They hold on and they fight. But if you just step back, then they're going to see that they see what I see. And they'll see it quicker. Oh, this dude ain't nothing.
That's because you had the Secret Service watch.
Well, if you ask my opinion, I'm going to tell you. But if you don't, Kenan always say, I'm worthy inquiry. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. If you don't, then you got to let life talk. Yeah.
