So what that means is what where do we get to a point or how do we get to a point where we become so small minded, where we literally think that anything that's opposite of what we think is wrong? Right. Because there's think about how many things have changed in the last. 30, 40 years since we've probably all, maybe some people 20 years since we've all been here in this world.

A lot. I remember when I went to high school, you could smack a girl's ass and it wasn't a problem. Now that's assault.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I'm not saying that it shouldn't be. What I'm saying is that look at how life has changed. Understand that things are changing in real time while you are alive. Some are in your benefit. Some may not be, right? Look at what's happening with food. At one point in time, 50, 60 years ago, putting these chemicals in food was not okay. Now it is okay. Look at everything that is changing.

That's the type of person that- That's not true because I also love the fact that a woman can become wealthy on her own. My mom is a single parent who has five degrees, and I watched a woman do it. I think the problem is that I expect women to be more equal than they want to be.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
That's why I think the problem is because if I say, hey, listen, if I believe in 50-50, now I'm a brokie or I'm a roommate or I'm all these different things. I actually believe that the floor should be open for you to reach your full potential.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
But understand your full potential doesn't mean you can dictate, doesn't dictate how you treat another individual, doesn't dictate how you look at a man any less or a woman any less. I actually believe 100% opposite. I would love for my woman to work. I would love for my woman to be the breadwinner. I am not insecure about that in any way, shape, or form.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I would prefer it. I would prefer it. And I've always have. I said this numerous different times. Any man who's not okay with a woman making the same or more than him is just a man who's in a power tripping position. He's an insecure man and he feels like that's the only thing that brings him value.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
And I think because of that, I had so much chaos at that time because now I have five stores. I have my podcast. I have all these other different businesses plus a family. And I had a little bit of resentment. I had a little bit of resentment because she didn't stick to the plan. Which was what? The plan was to not have any kids anytime soon.

I think now we have to move that poll up. The thousand is like, you know, nowadays everybody has followers and I don't even know how they're getting them. But yes, at one point in time.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Right, because the numbers, the numerics. But yes, I do think that a woman who has not been tainted by popularity and is also beautiful is a gift.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I meant physically. If she's cute, if she's an eight, like she's solid. You know what I'm saying? Like a lot of times we got to, we get to this point, right, where we think, or believe, either or, that exposure does not alter us.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
It alters people's personalities, their ego. It can alter their lifestyles. And that's the problem that I have with it because at one point in time, it altered me, right? And I literally had to lose in order to be like, okay, hold on. This is just glamour and lights, right? You still have to remember who you are at your core while you navigate through whatever it is that I was doing. Right.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
A lot of people can't do that. A lot of people fall victim to that. And so popularity has become especially to this day and age where you have social media, where popularity seems to be their only justifying reason to have value. But yet they're not making money. That doesn't mean that they're good people.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out

Barely Famous

Well, it was. I mean, that's a question you have to ask her.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Yeah, she decided that. I mean, she made some she had some new requirements. To go forward, for example, like she didn't want any secrets between us or any restrictions. So like, for example, she said, you know, I want to know everything. So here's access to it. I want to continue to have open transparency. So my passcodes have never changed, but she knows them. You know what I'm saying?
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Obviously, if I lose my phone, I don't want anybody to go through it. So I'm never not going to have a passcode on it. But if she decides to pick up my phone, she can. And I actually, it's actually more of a lightweight now. You know, because back then. It's a lot of work to cheat. It is. You got to be really good. That's why, you know.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
But I still could. Right. But I just choose not to. It's all a choice.
Barely Famous

Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
So that was more so all her. So she had some different things. She wanted to basically be able to have access to whatever I have access to. She wanted open transparency on that, which is fine. You know what I'm saying?
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I don't think it's that something changed. I think it's just the simple fact that, see, growing up with a single parent is not good because you're easy to say I could live without. And I realized that I had that problem because I could live without. I have.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Anybody. Or anything. Any opportunity, I've always created another one. Any woman I've always replaced with the same or better. Anything I've always been able to find the same or better. I have never regressed at any point in my life. So I didn't want to have my kid have the same mindset that people and situations are disposable because you can't replace them.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
No, no, no. I definitely did.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Of course. Of course, 100%. See, the thing is, for my daughter to date somebody like me now, obviously with my situation, I feel... It was a little bit different because that's the first time I moved out of spite. But I also do know I moved out of spite for numerous reasons. Not just her and my situation with her, but the situations that I was facing at that time and the adversity.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
No. The agreement was very simple. I'm not going to use condoms. So we have two. We have two options. We either don't have sex or you take the morning after pill. That's going to be the agreement.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I mean, I was 25 years old. I was making a million dollars in six months every year for four years straight. My company. Right. And now I'm growing and I'm learning because I don't know. Everything that I'm getting thrown in a fire and I'm having a lot of success, but I'm having a lot of expenses. You know, you have overhead where you you have to.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
But people don't understand, like when you're an actual boss and you're taking care of people's families, like some people are only eating because you are paying them. Right. And they have kids.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
No, no, no, no. But when what I'm saying is now when you have to cut back and you have to fire somebody and it's not because they did a bad job, it's because you can't afford to keep them afloat. And you're you have people that are crying in front of you saying, hey, I need this opportunity. I can't feed my children without it.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
And you're starting to see all these psychological things that weigh on you as a boss, especially when your business is now declining. And your expenses are over. And then now I have, on top of that, we have COVID. This was all during COVID, by the way. So I'm having so many different things. And I have lawsuits. I'm getting sued by Canada Goose. This is $100,000 here.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I have so many different moving pieces.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
So I was sued because our logo was a circle. No, it was a circle. And our name has Goose in it. That was it. Really what happened was we were taking over the luxury winter coat and furs industry so fast, so rapidly, that if you typed in Canada Goose on Google, we'd pop up first. And we weren't paying for advertisement. Right.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
So now what happens is when they got with that, they're like, what we're going to do is we're going to try to sue you. We're going to try to block your trademark. We're going to drag it out in legal fees because a lot of people can't withstand all those. Right. But I was going through that process as well.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
So when I'm having a lot of these different other issues outside of my relationship and then I wanted my relationship or every man, I would say every person wants their relationship to be that grounding space. And now I'm now dealing with this issue.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
situation where I felt like I could trust you and knew the shoulder I could lean on and for me you pulled your shoulder under from underneath me and now not only did you do that but now you're bringing in a kid which you know now is what seven we found out when she was already two months pregnant so seven months out and I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to maintain business and now you're bringing and now I got to figure out how I'm going to take care of a family
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
No. Either we don't have sex.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I'm watching my business decline. I'm watching and I'm trying to get everything afloat while going through COVID and navigate through this. So in that moment, I felt like you don't care enough about stability. Right. And or my mental health, because I'm confiding into you about all the issues that is going on in my life day to day.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
So at that point in time, I felt like a bread spike. Now, outside of that situation, I've always been 100% with women since I was 21 years old. And my mother told me, listen, don't argue with women. Just be honest. Tell them that you're not going to be faithful. Tell them that you're going to want more than one.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Rico. I think this is pretty much clear, right?
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Before I started dating my girl, I told her, if you want to be with me, understand I want two wives. This is something that I've been upfront about.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Well, that was part of the things that I had to get rid of to continue to move forward, right? So when I'm saying... Hold on, hold on, hold on. Wait, wait, wait, hold on. I want to answer the question, right? I don't want to lose it. So moral of the story is... Outside of the situation where I was being spiteful and I did not do what I typically do, I'm a man of my word.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
No, I not. And I agree a hundred percent, but that doesn't mean that you're perfect. Right. So there's agreed. So there's going to be times and situations. If I could say I'm 90% and 10%, I'm cool. Even 80, 20, 80% of the times I'm a man of my word. And 20% of the times I'm not for whatever the reason situation may be, whatever I might deem as justifiable. I can live with that.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
If a man is going to say, hey, listen, I want two wives. Do you want to be one of them? That's my daughter's decision. If a man is going to give my daughter the power of choice from the very beginning, then I respect him. You know, I would want her to have that. Whether or not I agree with her being the second or the fourth wife doesn't matter. It's not my life to live.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
But don't rob my child of her choice. That's the most important thing for me. But you robbed... her mother of the choice for some time.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
We robbed each other. It was so much more and I'm kind of just keeping it surface level, but it started with that. It was actually three things. It was like boom, boom, boom. And I'm like, whoa, no.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Well, she didn't want to go on birth control.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Okay, so then neither is pulling out.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
And I agree, but that's the same. It goes on both sides of the coin. So you have to understand that when you're doing something that affects somebody else, you don't know how that person is going to respond. And neither do they. I can exactly say, you know what? I've been a man of my word majority of my adulthood.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
But at this point in time, this has affected me to a point where I don't feel like I even want to speak to you or be honest with you anymore. And I never saw that coming. And myself, I got the name Hundo because I was always keeping it 100. That's exactly how I got in college. Right.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
That's okay, though. It's not, you know, I don't think that we need to understand everything about everyone.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
No, it's actually 100 percent logic. So, like, I can say this. I don't get how we can understand that monogamy is not natural, but then have the expectation of having a monogamous relationship without burden.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
But I'm saying even then, let's just say this. That's not logical to me. How not? If I want to practice on if I want to drive trucks for a living, I'm not going to drive a smart car for practice. It's not even the same thing.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
So what I'm saying is if I want to practice monogamy, right? If I want a monogamous relationship, I should be practicing monogamy throughout my entire life. No. Why would you not? You're practicing. For example, let's just say I'm dating, right? And I date four girls at a time. I'm not serious or committed with any one of them. I'm just dating.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
But I want a monogamous relationship. That doesn't even make sense because I'm literally in the moment practicing poly because look, you're dating around to find the person that you would want to be monogamous with, but dating. Okay.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Do you believe? Go ahead. No, no, you're fine. So you believe essentially that he could not not cheat?
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Or what about the real woman? Let's flip it. No, and I agree. The real woman that has spines is going to say, I don't think that this is worth throwing. If this guy is a great guy or whoever is a cheater.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
That's actually the most. And that's my thing, right? So right now we're actually in the age and a time where so many people can't actually deal with adversity. And not just in cheating. I'm just saying in life.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Yeah, but it's not about that. Right. So now you're taking it from a perspective where you feel as if you only have one option. The other option is we practice celibacy and I'm perfectly fine with either or. So I gave you an option. You chose to pick an option.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Can't. It's actually being proven.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I think that cheating can be. I don't think a serial cheater... I think that's entirely different.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I wasn't a serial cheater. I don't know.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Yeah. But you didn't know about it.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
No, no, no. See, but it's not about what I did. Right. Because you don't know how I slept. I could have slept uncomfortably.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I think that for me, right? And remember, everything is subjective because the way you live your life or whatever you perceive is going to be entirely different. than me or whoever is the audience. For me, I value loyalty more than love. To me, that is actually love, a love language for me. Loyalty, right? Loyalty also helps me embody trust. I don't have to worry. I don't want another moving part
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
When I decide to love you. And that moving part is usually because I don't trust you or I have to watch you. I don't want to have to deal with any of that. Right.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Relationship. All of them. Right.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Being present, being transparent, being an accountability partner.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I don't think nobody's indebted to me, though. I'm saying if you want something from me, this is the exchange. So if you want me to love you in exchange for my love, I need loyalty. And with loyalty, I need a safe. See, for me, when you have loyalty or when I have loyalty, it's a safe place to love. Without loyalty is not a safe place for me to put my love in.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I believe in choice. Right. So if I give you an option to choose. All right, cool. I'm going to take the morning after pill after we have sex. We just can't have sex every single day because you're not going to be taking the morning after pill every single day. Right now you have that option and you're obligated and bound to your word.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
It doesn't even seem like a smart investment emotionally.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
That is very, very accurate. So I felt like the loyalty was not being displayed, especially early on. I mean, we spoke... Before we actually dated, seriously, we were... I mean, before we actually got together, seriously, we dated for about six months. Okay. Five, six months, give or take. About February to June. Okay. Right? Or July, roughly. And, you know, from there, it was all like...
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
It was still figuring each other out. Plus the COVID happened in the middle of that whole situation. Right. Which I didn't see her for like two months, but we still spoke every day. You know, very, very consistent with that. And then when I decided to make that step, I literally stopped talking to all the women that I was speaking to at that time.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
And that's when I was like, all right, cool. This is what it's going to be. And I was already trying to fill you out. There was a couple little nuances that we had here and there, which is fine because, again, you're not indebted to me. But if you want to actually be with me and you tell me you want to be with me, I'm going to tell you what it takes to be with me.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I'm not playing the guessing game. You know what I'm saying? I don't want you to guess what it takes to make me happy or what it takes to be with me or what it takes to get different versions or sides of me that you might want. I'm going to tell you exactly how to do it because I know it. A lot of people haven't done the self-work.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Of course. You know what I did when I was 21 to get to where I even got to? Tell me. Jesus Christ, it was a lot. Like what? So I recommend this for everybody. Okay. But you have to be 100% egoless within yourself. It's hard. Okay. Challenge yourself to write 50 flaws about you. On a piece of paper. Write it down. Literally. 50 flaws. Push forward.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Most people are going to stop at that 10, 20 mark, but push to 50. Why? What is the purpose of that? Because it's going to make you peel the layers back, right? Now, once you push to 50, once you reach 50, and sometimes you might, it'll be an open door where now you're being really brutally honest with yourself of all the flaws. You might even go to 100.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Once I give you the opportunity to choose, I'm expecting you to act upon your choice. Now, if you go outside of that choice, that's when betrayal happens. Right. And that's when it's like, well, why would you do this? Because if that was the case, you've actually technically robbed me of the opportunity of not even doing this to begin with. Right. So that's what was the resentment.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
After you do those flaws, you're going to write a dash, and the next grid, or category is going to be why slash when right so if i say hey listen i am short-tempered and i'm explosive i'm gonna then say dash why slash when when did i notice it and why is it happening or where did it came from you know maybe it was you don't know Well, that's the point.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
The point is to challenge yourself where you can recall it. It might have even happened before then. Right. Whatever that time frame. But you have to be able to see yourself in full. So these are the types of things and activities that I did within myself. And I remember because I wrote like 200 flaws. And at that point in time when I was 21, I was an entirely different person.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I didn't even look the same. I didn't talk the same. I didn't dress the same as I do right now.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I don't think I've ever witnessed my mom being hurt by a man.
Barely Famous

She understands it. Because my mom is the one who told me. I told you the story. I was arguing with my ex all the time. This was like my ex, ex, ex, ex, right? When I was younger. And I was still living at home. I was maybe like 20, 21 years old. And my mom was like, I'm tired of hearing you argue with this girl because you want to lie.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Do you understand if you're just honest, you will have no problems with women? Yes.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
You sign them for it. Right. So that's what I. That's what your mom taught you. Yeah. So like my mom, like, so everything that I said, my mom was like, that's what he wants. That's what he wants. But he's not going to sugarcoat it.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Most men want the same thing. They're just not honest. Like what? They want more than one woman. They want to have periods of times where they can have a break from the relationship. Not really necessarily like a breakup, but like a moment where they can go ahead and explore. Yeah, hall passes. Most men want this. I would argue 90%.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Now, ask me how many men are confident that will say it is far less. How many men are confident to say it in public is far less. Because at the end of the day, men fear losing women, right? I fear scaring women away and I fear losing the woman that I might have if they even have one. But for me, it's like I was never scared of losing anybody, anything.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Because if I tell you what I want at this point in time in my life, that's where I'm at. If you're not aligned, that's fine. It doesn't matter how bad I want you to be here. I'm not forcing alignment. I'm not pushing you to be here with me knowing that you don't even work with me.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I mean, I'm here. I have to have a dad, right? You'd have a sperm donor. Yeah, so me and my dad do not have a close relationship at all, right? Was he there? No, not really. He popped in my life, let's say, three times in total for a total of three or four years. Do you have a stepdad? Yes, I did.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
That was the point where I was like, well, why would you it kind of felt like a setup. Why would you tell me one thing and then do the other? So that's why it ended up becoming that way. So in the whole pregnancy was like it was chaotic for us. Right. Because I was upset about it. So I wasn't treating her the best during her pregnancy. And then.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out

Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
That's my brother. You know what I'm saying? So I did still have that... that male figure in my life. And the greatest thing about him is that he's, like, a real OG.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Yeah. But still, like, his son is my brother. If I introduce him, like, this is my brother, he'll tell you, like, this is my little brother.
Barely Famous

Not necessarily, no. No. Like, some of them, yeah. But... Ask me, have they all cheated at a point in their life? Ask me if they all had multiple women at a point of their life. I don't want to put their personal business. We can interview them and let them tell their story. But ask me if we share the same experiences. The answer is 100% yes.

Now, what we want permanently is a little bit different. You know what I'm saying? And what we may have is a little bit different. Just because I want something doesn't mean I'm going to achieve it. Right. And I think that's important to note. And same thing for women. Women want a lot of different types of men or a lot of different characteristics in men and won't find them.

Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I wasn't. I don't know if I was in love with her, but I was definitely developing feelings. And that was the first time I've ever done that. That's why I really realized that that... For me, that was what cheating really is. Cheating is like when you get emotionally involved with something. Like, for a guy, I can have sex and completely forget that I had sex until I scroll past you on Instagram.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Yeah, like, damn, I forgot about this. You know? And for me, like, that's like... That's not really cheating for a guy to me. But when you start to develop actual feelings and emotions, that's like, bro, you're really cheating now. Because now it becomes... an affair type of situation.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Right. And for me, that is uncalled for. And I think that's what it was, you know, and it was mutual. Like there was feelings being developed there.
Barely Famous

And that's what happened. So at that point in time in my actual relationship, we're going through turmoil. It was like separation, not separation, separation, not separation. So for me, I felt like there was no stability there. So in my mind, I'm like, we keep on breaking up to get together. We're about to break up.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
So I think at that point in time, that was the first time in that relationship where I was like, okay, I'm opening the door to be emotionally available for somebody else. And that's where that happened. Not justifying it at all. I'm just saying that's how that happened. Because prior to that, it was never a situation where I actually cared about the person. It was just like we are vibing.

I mean, I don't think that we just, and that's another thing. So for me, I think that people got to understand that there's a good maybe two or three times time length of the amount of time that you cheated that it's going to take to potentially heal. We just got back on track. We've been good, but now we're actually getting back on track. Not meaning she forgot. You know what I'm saying?

Well, I believe that when we have conversations with individuals, we tend to say, listen, and this is actually funny because when you think about business and the History, especially in America, right?

When you think about the situation that happened, she had to go through a lot. I'm only speaking from the outside looking in. I'm not her.

No, they are not synonymous. Some people are great parents and terrible spouses and vice versa.
Barely Famous

Well, I think that sometimes you don't – we also have to remember not everybody understands what great is. Whether a great parent for somebody can actually be a shit parent for somebody else.
Barely Famous

Right. And it's all about the adaptability to understand that person's needs and desires, whether they're the child or the spouse.
Barely Famous

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's 11. He's 11. He'll be 12 this year. Um, and I'm his coach, like, but the same way that my stepdad was with me, I am with him. You know what I'm saying? But I had that.

You are a person who honors your word. You are a person who honors your commitment, whatever that commitment may be. Right. Nowadays, we need contracts. We need NDAs.

Now I have a, I'm hearing a lot of other situations where the step parent was nowhere near the type of step parent that I had.

So I don't know if I got lucky or if I wanted a few.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Um, you know what I'm saying? But I, fortunate can be the same for somebody else. Now, and it's also different when you have a boy versus a girl.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Because men are sick, and so are women, but men are sick with little girls, and I don't play that. If something ever happened to my daughter, because all it takes is one experience. You know what I'm saying? One minute, one situation.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Yeah, yeah, 100%. But I feel like there are more men who would, and this could be wrong, but I feel like more men that would target a girl versus target a boy.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
And the thing is, and also to add to that, a stepfather is coming into the situation, assuming they're heterosexual, this example. The stepfather is coming into the situation already attracted to women. So if I have a son and a daughter, the likelihood that he's going to be attracted to the girl is higher than the boy because he's already attracted to women, which is why he's here.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Yeah. So like I look at it from that perspective. And now if your daughter.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
This man is already attracted to a woman because that's why he's with the mother. There's no telling how far he can go if this man is pushed to the edge or if he can't have self-regulation or maybe he has mental health issues. So for situations like that, I look at it way more delicately. delicately than my actual son. You get what I'm saying? Yeah.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
So it might be biased, of course, but that's my reasoning for it. Some people are very sick. Yeah, of course. And I'm not taking that chance. And I realize that more people are sick now than probably ever, or at least it's more prominent now. Talk about it more.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Now, for me, I'm a person that if I give you my word, I'm going to honor my word. And I tend to feel as if I can read people well. And when I get into business or into anything with somebody, when they give me their word and I decide to do or go forward with them. That's a person that I personally believe is going to honor their word.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
And I hate that because you get to a point where I remember I was pushing my son, like, go outside. Go outside and play. Just go play. But then, you know, I told him like, you know what? You're not going to be allowed to play any video games unless you spend one hour outside. Because I don't want him to be like those kids, like the kids that we're seeing. He went outside.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
He came back and I was like, what'd you do? He's like, there was nobody outside. And I'm like, damn, I'm the only one pushing him to go outside, but there's nobody outside. Right? So now we got to a point where I realized that as parents, we actually operate in more fear than ever before. Yeah.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Because of all the potential or the news or everything that we do here, which I hate that because I would love to have the comfortability to say, hey, listen, my son is outside. He fell. He bumped his knee, but he's okay. He played football with the kids or whatever the hell boys do or even girls. But even if, here's the thing, girls, it's different. It's different.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
It's different because a little boy could do something too. You know, like you have your daughter outside. She's 12. He's 13.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
You get what I'm trying to say? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hear you. Protecting women is like in every single second job. Right. You have to see all potential things or the worst case scenarios and try your best to navigate through them. So it's different having a stepdad versus a stepmom in my opinion. So I think it would be different.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
And I don't want my daughter to be in the house with another man that I have to – I have to be able to vet him entirely to make sure that he's sane enough to not do anything crazy because I promise you I'm crazier.

Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I would not scum of the earth. Just not for me. Right. So my thing is I wouldn't want to do it. Now, you know, when this situation happened and I looked at it and I talked to my mom about it, she was like, well. It was done for you. I said, well, damn, you got a point, right? So that made me help, that helped me step up to the table or step up to the plate.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
But the thing is, you know, nowadays I realize something very, very, like for me, my mom set the bar too fucking high as a woman, as a mom and a woman, right? And that's why, like, if me and my girl were to split today, I need to see how you mother, right? Because if you don't mother or parent the way I would like you to, I don't care how much I love you.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
I did not really have a chance to see her too much as a mother. It was also during COVID. You know what I'm saying? So I saw moments and situations. Maybe I'd be on FaceTime with her and he's there. His schooling was online at that time, homeschool. So I saw it, but I didn't see it. Experience it. Yeah, I wasn't in the house with you. You know what I mean?
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
But going forward, I got to make sure that you do parent the way that I need you to parent because I see and I know of too many situations where the mom or the dad is not the parent that the significant other would like for their child.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
And if I come into a space with you and you don't have a child and you want to have children and then you have children and I don't like the way that you parent, it's going to make me look at you and treat you differently. although you could be a great wife, but if you're a terrible mother, if I'm a person who values a parent for my children,
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
then I might actually start to not like you or think that you are as good as a wife as I once thought you were. So that's kind of why I have a little weird preference now because I want to just know how do you tend to your kids because I'm a person that's now, I would say, become about family more than ever before. And now because I am big on family now, I'm not playing that game.

Oh, well, the father too, right? But he can never be the father of my, well, I guess if he was with, you know, the mother of my child, he could technically be the step-parent of my child, right? But I don't even look at it from that perspective.
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
But when I look at women and how they parent their son, because that's what I did with coaching football, I'd be like, I'd never want a relationship with a person like you. It doesn't matter how they look. It doesn't matter how they treat me. I would not want you to be the mother of any of my kids. Like, so, like, one, there's a preference, right?
Barely Famous
Cheating, Ego, and Redemption: Rico Hundo Gets Called Out
Well, I felt like what happened – well, not feel like. What actually happened was the way I felt was like, well, if you betrayed me, it is nothing for me to betray you, which is spite, and it's not good. And I'm not saying that that's okay, right?

Now, with situations like that, that's just a small situation that obviously bleeds into other situations. I can only imagine. If you're not there and being supportive of the games, I'm going to assume that you're not being supportive and you're missing other moments in other areas.
