Tupac watched the show and became a fan and was
like rod In, Hey, yo, Tony Danza's true.

called themselves pals.

Over, right, But there is one will Smith song that
celebrates dad.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
That night, I don't think one week got slept. I

I knew I loved you more than from the perspective
of the time.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, about his about his son, about his son, Yeah yeah,
him and his son, and his son's in it. Trey
is in him the song as well. And that was
like the fourth single from.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
His Big Willie Style album that came out in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
It's a little cheesy, but it's also pretty heartfelt.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
You know.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
It's about his love for his son and him trying
to be the best dad he can be.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
So alexis for your question.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
I'm going to name three things that he's worried about
in the song. Two were really in it and the
other one I made up. So you just need to
tell me which one is a.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Fake father worry?

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Okay, Okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Is it a getting the car seat installed correctly?

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Dude, I would be somebody told me, like a couple
of years ago, like, yeah, you have to put him
on backwards in the back seat.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah, to be the worst parent, remember that he is not.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
These would be included in the lyrics of this song. Okay,
is it b how to correctly.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Use a CD rom? Huh?

Speaker 1 (06:58):
That's a fear?

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Or says it which diapers offer the most leak proof protection?

Speaker 5 (07:03):
These were?

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Okay, two of these written the song?

Speaker 5 (07:06):
Is making this song go down in value.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
I I don't know the cars he like I get.
But also he already has the baby now he got
home from the hospital. He figured it out by the
time he wrote the song, so like the baby made
it in the car seat at some point.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
I honestly don't know this one.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
I wish are you really singing about diapers?

Speaker 4 (07:28):
It's Will Smith. He gets jiggy with it, like he
will sing about like YOA busted out my pets dispenser,
and then you know, like he'll say any papers.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
Yeah, the CD doesn't make sense. That's maybe why I
think it's real there.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
Yeah, CDs were big.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
I'm gonna say the fake father worry is the car seat?

Speaker 3 (07:47):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Like that was actually in the song and the first
perse he sings about how he's worried about getting the
car seat installed and people driving really faster the way
home from the hospital.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
Oh man.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
It was also in.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
The song that he was worried about how to properly
use a CD wrong. His kid really likes to play
one hundred and one Dalmatians on the PC.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Is a PC?

Speaker 1 (08:09):
This was in the song. It's in the song if
you listen to the lyrics.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
The one that's not in the song is the diapers.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
I should have known think of the diapers.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Will Smith back then in a rat battle when he's like,
all right, I got a verse for you right now.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
It's about CD wrong.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
He went hard, he went real hard.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
And that's why there's the one and only Dad song.
