I'm good, Layla. How are you feeling?
We're good, but I think we have to do a previously on the last episode of our talk.
We'll have them.
Previously, on the Cliff Floyd segment, you told us that you had run into your daughter at the club and that you had called her and she did not answer the phone.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, see that? I mean, you know, so much be happening these days, but... Yeah, you know, we cleaned that up. We cleaned that up.
You told her you're sorry?
You had a conversation about it? Well, Mars, listen, at the end of the day, I mean, I need her to tell me she's sorry for not answering my calls.
Okay, that's fair.
You feel me? Yeah. Because I answer her calls every time she needs my money.
You know what? That sums things up right there.
Some quality dad right there.
You know what I mean? So when she needs me, I know when she really needs me. The phone rings three, four times. I look at it. I go, okay. I'll hear it back later.
How did Cliff Floyd introduce himself and what is his background in baseball?
I look at it again. I'm like, oh, snap. She needs some bread. I know. I know what this time is.
Especially if it's multiple calls and you had already missed a call, right?
You know what I'm saying? And, you know, I mean, obviously, you know, your kids are the most important thing in the world. But, you know, I always try to you know, curve the little phone calls when I know she needs certain type of money. $50, $100 ain't nothing, Mars, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, when it gets crazy above $500, I'm like, well, what you doing, babe? Like, what's going on? So, you know, we knock that out.
Okay, so she knows to answer your phone calls now. Okay, that's the message I'm getting right now, Cliff.
That's it. Like, I answer yours, you answer mine. Okay, we're good. We're good.
What was her reaction?
Like my mom would get on me still to this day. Okay. Yeah.
That's a parent thing, right? Like a parent wants to know that their kid is going to actually, if I miss a call from my mom, I always tell her, just text me mom.
What personal anecdotes does Cliff Floyd share about parenting and club encounters?
Cause I miss calls all the time. Just text me and I will get right back to you.

That's valid. That's generational monitoring system. She's monitoring you on TV and you're monitoring your daughter at the club. What was her reaction when she found out that you saw her?
She was like, dad, you know, I mean, this is like reaction goes that it's time for you to stay out the club. I go, you know what? You know what? Okay. All right. That's your, that's your answer, huh? I'm like, well, I mean, And it wasn't even a club situation. It was just one of those vibes, little spots. It was a lounge.
