basically Wolverine.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Magneto, yeah, so basically, and he is.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Tunganese.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
So, in other words, y'all took all of X-Men and put
them all into one character.
No, no, no, no.
That's what it seemed like.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Okay, just because James is moving, but Nas is just
super dead.
His is like sword man sword andfire sword and oh just.
And then I don't even know thedetails, but I can just imagine
him looking like that.
If he's it looked cool and thenmy favorite character of all.
(09:03):
Okay, you know like they'recrazy, but I have to go with my
sister.
I do like her good, I like thatshe's a Hulk girl and like her
power is just cool, cause likeshe has, you know how Hulk
swings right.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Hulks are the best man.
Speaker 2 (09:18):

Speaker 2 (09:29):
She has a scream that like makes people like pause
and try to go, like that,because like it hurts the ears.
And then, um, she also has likehot claws.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So have you ever watched X-Men?
Have you ever watched X-Men?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Mm-mm.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
That is crazy.
So one day what we're going todo is we're going to have to
watch X-Men, Because the reasonI say that is because everybody
that you're seeing they alreadyhave those type of heroes.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So it's amazing to hear you say that they're going
to have sword men.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It wouldn't be sword men, it would be Wolverine that
wouldn't count, wolverinedoesn't have fire on his stuff
but what I'm saying is that I'mnot saying that every hero, I'm
saying basically everybody thatyou named, that you said they
had different powers.
There's different characters inX-Men that have those same
powers and they have those samepowers.
(10:21):
So that's really cool thatyou're saying these things.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I know they exist, but I don't even know their
powers.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
It's just Wolverine, yeah so I mean like Storm, Storm
is basically the one that youwere talking about.
You do like the high pitch andeverything like that.
There's actually a Storm, yeah,Storm.
You never heard of Storm, Nope,so she's actually the only
she's a girl, yeah, listen,listen.
Oh no, I know, who that is.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I played a Marvel game before.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
That's X-Men.
Yeah, so X-Men is under Marvel,so that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
How Like.
Why is Marvel and X-Men thesame?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Well, Marvel is like the brand.
The brand, and then X-Men willbe under them.
So you got Marvel and then yougot the Avengers.
You know what I mean.
So it's two different.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Avengers are trash.
Well, no the only thing I likeabout Avengers is probably Flash
and Batman Flash was myfavorite hero and why is?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
that Because he was fast.
He was fast like me.
Oh yeah yeah, flash was really.
And what's crazy is Flash beatSuperman In a race.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I know.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Well, y'all, they have had at it With all of this.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Okay, so do they ever play against the Chiefs?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Nope, no, yes.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Week 14 for sure so have they ever beat the Chiefs?
Yes, when.
Week 14 for sure so.
Speaker 2 (12:44):

Speaker 3 (12:44):

Speaker 2 (12:46):

So now that we've gotten yourMarvel stuff, your what do you
call them?
Your characters out the way,we've talked about football, now
let's bring it into our life.
When you first heard that me,as your mother, was getting
(13:26):
married and that you were goingto have four other siblings, how
did you feel, truthfully.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
At first I was happy.
Well, kind of, at first Ididn't like him.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Who was him?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Okay, you got to make sure you say it in the mic,
because they can't see whatyou're pointing at At first I
didn't like Iron.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
But why didn't?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
you like.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Iron Because I had another dad.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
so I was like yeah, you feel like here's this other
man coming in.
I, I have a dad.
I don't really know who he is.
Yeah, we're around each other.
Did you feel like he was tryingto take your dad's place?
No, no, would you just, youknow, just wanted the life that
(14:19):
you had, or what was it?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah.
So then what changed?
Well, it got better and better.
Because, first off, the onlything I was really happy is,
like the other four brothersbecause Nas, noah, trey and Rye
like I played with them a lotand it was fun and everything.
And now like it's even more funbecause now we're starting to
(14:43):
like play more games and aroundeach other way way more, way
more, because now we livetogether, now we're married.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
And how do you feel about Ira, now that we're
married?
You still feel the same way youfelt in the beginning.
No, no, how do you feel?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I feel like happy.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Happy.
I love that.
I love the fact that you can beopen and honest about your
feelings, because you're notalone.
There are a lot of young peopleas well as old people who,
hopefully are listening to thispodcast and you're able to share
your true feelings.
In the beginning, I didn'treally care for him that much.
(15:22):
Say, you had a dad, you likedthe way that your life was.
Here's this man yellow baldhead, yeah, but what do you call
him?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Mr Clean Mr.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Clean, but I love y'all relationship.
I love your relationship.
I love your relationship.
How do you feel about hearingwhat he said?
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I'm happy.
I'm happy that we're able togrow our relationship.
I never wanted to take yourdad's place you know what I mean
, but I do want to be a goodrole model for you and show you
a new way or different ways ofthinking about different things
(16:18):
in your perspective.
I do want to help you becomethe best version of yourself and
allow you to be yourself.
You know what I mean.
Have those crazy conversationsthat we have that nobody else
knows about.
You know what I mean.
It's pretty cool that ourrelationship is growing and I am
very proud of you so absolutely.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
And one thing that I can say, just observing both of
your relationships, you both are, uh, a lot alike in some ways.
You guys are I'm not bald, no,you're not bald, but you two are
thinkers.
One thing for sure when you gointo a room, no matter where you
(17:06):
are, you're going to be lookingaround, you're going to ask
questions.
You guys don't just takepeople's word for things.
You are not afraid to say whyor that doesn't make sense.
You guys are very intelligentand you use your brains in other
ways that some of us don't eventhink.
(17:28):
You know One thing I can sayNehemiah is iron here has saved
you tremendously on severaloccasions from getting in
trouble, from getting in trouble.
You know, when it comes tocertain things, like I'm that
mom that, uh, I don't play whenit comes to certain things, and
(17:54):
he would always be like, oh, Igot it, I got it, I got it.
Or well, you know, maybe hedidn't mean that, or oh, he
always had your back from dayone.
So how does that feel, knowingthat Mr Clean here has your back
.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It feels good, and actually he's all-framed Mr
Clean, so that means he's fakeMr Clean.
Well, kind of like him.
So basically his cousin.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Okay, I'm black.
Mr Clean, huh, I thought youwere yellow.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Whatever man, I love black.
Mr Clean, huh, I thought youwere yellow.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Whatever man, I love y'all relationship.
If there is something that youcould tell children who are
coming from a blended family,what advice would you give them?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Um, have fun with each other and like, try not to
get in arguments and stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You don't argue with your siblings, do you?
Sometimes, oh no.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Mostly with like my JD, because there's like most of
my bonus brothers are just like.
They just chill Like Nas Noah.
Noah's the only chill.
He's not chill when he getslike, when he gets mad or he
loses a game, he's just notchill, but he's basically chill.
(19:14):
If that doesn't happen, trey'sdefinitely chill, chill.
Most chill, yeah, we're alwaysgonna get second place.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Second place in being chill.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, and then the most not chill is JD.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
So is it because you two are very competitive?
Do you think that's the reasonwhy you guys argue yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
We just argue over games, usually Mm-hmm, because,
like sometimes when I'm beatinghim and if I just kick a field I
win.
And then it was on like NFLBlitz.
He was like go for two.
He shoved me and then clickedthe button I had to go for two
and I missed and lost.
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
That's all right, I have to go for two and I'm
missing and lost oh my goodness,it's alright, man, it's alright
.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
But one thing for sure that competitiveness, as
long as we keep it in the house,we keep it contained, it's not
going to do anything but makeyou all greater.
That's why, when you are onthat field, you can snatch
bullets Y''all.
This boy be jumping in the air,that boy's flying the other day
(20:24):
yeah.
So if you follow us on blendingwith the french's tiktok, this
boy has gone viral so many timeson youtube.
He's's him, he's him, hesnatches, he literally jumps up.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I'm second him.
Devontae Adams is him.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Okay, so Devontae, if you happen to hear this podcast
, nehemiah is giving you thetitle of being him.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
As of right now.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
As of right now, he's literally him, he is Now.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
He's the best receiver, better than Jerry Rice
.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Randy Wallace can't do nothing.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Jamar can't do nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Jake Chet is always getting locked up, but my man
and favorite quarter of all time, jair, he's strapped up any
receiver besides Devontae Adams.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
So what I'm saying is he's him now, but I'm saying
when you get older you're goingto be him.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Second him.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Nuh-uh, you ain't coming second to nobody, man
You're going to put in the work.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Devontae's him Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
One day you never know, you keep putting in the
work Devontae going to shakeyour hand and say hey, little
man.
I remember when I listened tothat podcast and you said I'm
him.
Now I'm giving you the title.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
All right, maybe, but Madden, you got to read
Justin's rating.
He got to be in that 99 cup.
Something wrong with Madden.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah, you know, and.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Johnny, here too Locked up, probably the worst
corner.
Justin Jefferson, I meanreceiver, he's not bad, but when
he gills he gets a good cornerMostly gets locked up.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Is this on Madden?
No, in real life, yes, oh hopehe's not listening.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I don't care.
I mean he's good, I get thatwrong.
But if he goes and gets a probowl corner, he goes against a
pro bowl corner.
He's getting locked up justlike he did a good gyre.
Um many people have locked himup, honestly you're gonna lock
him up next kind of like how Ilock you up.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
You at one point were the second oldest of our clan
before we got married.
How does it feel?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
being the second child.
Oh, it is.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
How do you like being the second child?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I'm not.
Well, so before we got married,I know, oh, it kind of feels
bad because JD's super bossy.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So you had your older sibling at that point, which
was JD.
Then you were the second oneand you felt like he was super
bossy.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, he'd tell me like everything, like, do the
dishes, go clean up, do yourroom.
And I'm like, okay, the roompart, yes, okay, I do that, but
the dishes, I'm like, how aboutyou go do it?
He'll tell me what to do.
He still does it.
He still does it.
Yes, okay, he can ask everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yes, so okay, as y'all can see, you all were
blessed to hear from our othersecond child.
This is the other second child.
This is the other second childand you can see the person out
here.
We love it Alright now how didyou feel about having two little
siblings under you?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It felt great.
It felt great Because why?
Well now, kinda, besides mylittle sister, what about your
little sister?
Super annoying, why SnitchesAlways picks and gets.
She's always a favorite aroundhere Well, not around here,
around, like everywhere, alwaysa favorite.
(04:00):
She always gets what she wants.
Never gets to clean up when shedestroys your room.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Well, at least you're being honest about how you feel
.
But what if somebody was to dosomething to your little sister?
What if somebody was to takeher toy?
Or if she was out and about andsomebody pushed her?
Then what?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Well, pushing part.
I don't want to start, but takethe toy part.
That's a her problem.
That's a her problem, it's atoy.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I mean outside of the family, like if y'all at school
or if y'all was at the sameschool and somebody was picking
on your sister, what would youdo?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Talk to them.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Talk to them okay.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Because you, as her big brother, you always want to
make sure she's protected, evenif you feel like she's annoying
at home, right?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
She always is.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Well, folks, you heard it from him.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Even when I'm eating, even when I'm dreaming, I have
a dream.
I have a dream about my sister.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I have dreams and nightmares about her.
Oh, my goodness, it can't bethat bad.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So, uh, now that we just never had a sister.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I had not, and that's one thing that I always wish I
did.
I always wish I had a littlesister.
That's the opposite for me.
You know what I think?
It's because you have one.
If you didn't have one, youprobably would feel differently.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Heck, nah, I'd be fun .
4-4 basketball all night.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, she stays with all y'all.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
She can't hoop at all Airballs, just like the.
Sometimes it hits the room,mostly airballs.
Just like Nathaniel Sometimeshe hits the room, he mostly
airballs.
The only people who kinda canshoot is Noah, like the little
kids, noah and Nathaniel.
Noah can hit the thing.
He can make it to Nathaniel.
He can't do Trey and Janae.
Hey Trey doesn't have the powerand he's not athletic.

Or a joke teller, a comedian Acomedian yes, Because you
definitely are the jokester inour home.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
So what's your favorite acting role?

I'm Magic man, I'm the mostpowerful man of all time and I
will stop you.
Darkster, he's a villain, youknow.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
There's a whole lot of villains and stuff and we
call it the Super Team.
So I'm Magic Boy, jd is Clawman and he has like claws and
stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
It's like magic, like Wolverine, almost he's
basically Wolverine.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
But just like faster and can jump.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
So as far as Magic Boy, what does Magic Boy do?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
He has a super shield that, like nobody can break
through.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
So like Captain America.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
No, like an actual bubble.
Oh, okay, cool A bubble.
He can heal people, so like.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Captain America no, like an actual bubble.
Okay, cool A bubble.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
He can heal people, he can retract time, he's super
fast, he can fly, he can breatheout of water, he can look into
the past and the present and hecan control people by like.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Magneto, yeah, so basically, and he is.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Tunganese.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
So, in other words, y'all took all of X-Men and put
them all into one character.
No, no, no, no.
That's what it seemed like.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Okay, just because James is moving, but Nas is just
super dead.
His is like sword man sword andfire sword and oh just.
And then I don't even know thedetails, but I can just imagine
him looking like that.
If he's it looked cool and thenmy favorite character of all.
(09:03):
Okay, you know like they'recrazy, but I have to go with my
sister.
I do like her good, I like thatshe's a Hulk girl and like her
power is just cool, cause likeshe has, you know how Hulk
swings right.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Hulks are the best man.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Like they're.
What is it?
They're fur Feathers.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Feathers yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Sheathers yeah, she can throw it at people.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Okay, she has a scream.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
She has a scream that like makes people like pause
and try to go, like that,because like it hurts the ears.
And then, um, she also has likehot claws.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So have you ever watched X-Men?
Have you ever watched X-Men?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Mm-mm.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
That is crazy.
So one day what we're going todo is we're going to have to
watch X-Men, Because the reasonI say that is because everybody
that you're seeing they alreadyhave those type of heroes.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So it's amazing to hear you say that they're going
to have sword men.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It wouldn't be sword men, it would be Wolverine that
wouldn't count, wolverinedoesn't have fire on his stuff
but what I'm saying is that I'mnot saying that every hero, I'm
saying basically everybody thatyou named, that you said they
had different powers.
There's different characters inX-Men that have those same
powers and they have those samepowers.
(10:21):
So that's really cool thatyou're saying these things.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I know they exist, but I don't even know their
powers.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
It's just Wolverine, yeah so I mean like Storm, Storm
is basically the one that youwere talking about.
You do like the high pitch andeverything like that.
There's actually a Storm, yeah,Storm.
You never heard of Storm, Nope,so she's actually the only
she's a girl, yeah, listen,listen.
Oh no, I know, who that is.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I played a Marvel game before.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
That's X-Men.
Yeah, so X-Men is under Marvel,so that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
How Like.
Why is Marvel and X-Men thesame?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Well, Marvel is like the brand.
The brand, and then X-Men willbe under them.
So you got Marvel and then yougot the Avengers.
You know what I mean.
So it's two different.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Avengers are trash.
Well, no the only thing I likeabout Avengers is probably Flash
and Batman Flash was myfavorite hero and why is?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
that Because he was fast.
He was fast like me.
Oh yeah yeah, flash was really.
And what's crazy is Flash beatSuperman In a race.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I know.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Well, y'all, they have had at it With all of this.
Can we talk about football?
I don't know who this FlashDash None of these people are,
but Thank y'all for that and Iam so glad that, as siblings,
you all use your imagination,you all create things and you
(11:52):
guys are able to Spend time andplay together.
That's pretty awesome.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
So let's talk about football.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
So I'm going to talk about the Chiefs.
This is my favorite team,broncos.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
What's your record?
Broncos country.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Let's ride.
What's your record?
3-5 Packers are 3-5, but we wonlast week and we didn't lose to
the second worst team.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
In the whole entire league Besides the Panthers.
So who did they play Besidesthe Panthers?
So who did they play?
Who did they play last week?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
We played.
I'm pretty sure it was theJaguars.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Okay, so do they ever play against the Chiefs?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Nope, no, yes.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Week 14 for sure so have they ever beat the Chiefs?
Yes, when.
Week 14 for sure so.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Have they ever beat the?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Chiefs yes, when.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
When Aaron Rodgers was in his prime and we had
Devontae Adams.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
And what year was that?
2019 Well it's 2023, it's aboutto be 2024.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
No, 2022 too, 2022, oh yeah, okay, we beat the
Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
How do you remember all of this stuff?
Because I have a mind offootball.
Okay, mind of football.
Okay, mind of football.
I love it.
So now that we've gotten yourMarvel stuff, your what do you
call them?
Your characters out the way,we've talked about football, now
let's bring it into our life.
When you first heard that me,as your mother, was getting
(13:26):
married and that you were goingto have four other siblings, how
did you feel, truthfully.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
At first I was happy.
Well, kind of, at first Ididn't like him.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Who was him?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Okay, you got to make sure you say it in the mic,
because they can't see whatyou're pointing at At first I
didn't like Iron.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
But why didn't?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
you like.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Iron Because I had another dad.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
so I was like yeah, you feel like here's this other
man coming in.
I, I have a dad.
I don't really know who he is.
Yeah, we're around each other.
Did you feel like he was tryingto take your dad's place?
No, no, would you just, youknow, just wanted the life that
(14:19):
you had, or what was it?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah.
So then what changed?
Well, it got better and better.
Because, first off, the onlything I was really happy is,
like the other four brothersbecause Nas, noah, trey and Rye
like I played with them a lotand it was fun and everything.
And now like it's even more funbecause now we're starting to
(14:43):
like play more games and aroundeach other way way more, way
more, because now we livetogether, now we're married.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
And how do you feel about Ira, now that we're
married?
You still feel the same way youfelt in the beginning.
No, no, how do you feel?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I feel like happy.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Happy.
I love that.
I love the fact that you can beopen and honest about your
feelings, because you're notalone.
There are a lot of young peopleas well as old people who,
hopefully are listening to thispodcast and you're able to share
your true feelings.
In the beginning, I didn'treally care for him that much.
(15:22):
Say, you had a dad, you likedthe way that your life was.
Here's this man yellow baldhead, yeah, but what do you call
him?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Mr Clean Mr.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Clean, but I love y'all relationship.
I love your relationship.
I love your relationship.
How do you feel about hearingwhat he said?
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I'm happy.
I'm happy that we're able togrow our relationship.
I never wanted to take yourdad's place you know what I mean
, but I do want to be a goodrole model for you and show you
a new way or different ways ofthinking about different things
(16:18):
in your perspective.
I do want to help you becomethe best version of yourself and
allow you to be yourself.
You know what I mean.
Have those crazy conversationsthat we have that nobody else
knows about.
You know what I mean.
It's pretty cool that ourrelationship is growing and I am
very proud of you so absolutely.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
And one thing that I can say, just observing both of
your relationships, you both are, uh, a lot alike in some ways.
You guys are I'm not bald, no,you're not bald, but you two are
thinkers.
One thing for sure when you gointo a room, no matter where you
(17:06):
are, you're going to be lookingaround, you're going to ask
questions.
You guys don't just takepeople's word for things.
You are not afraid to say whyor that doesn't make sense.
You guys are very intelligentand you use your brains in other
ways that some of us don't eventhink.
(17:28):
You know One thing I can sayNehemiah is iron here has saved
you tremendously on severaloccasions from getting in
trouble, from getting in trouble.
You know, when it comes tocertain things, like I'm that
mom that, uh, I don't play whenit comes to certain things, and
(17:54):
he would always be like, oh, Igot it, I got it, I got it.
Or well, you know, maybe hedidn't mean that, or oh, he
always had your back from dayone.
So how does that feel, knowingthat Mr Clean here has your back
.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It feels good, and actually he's all-framed Mr
Clean, so that means he's fakeMr Clean.
Well, kind of like him.
So basically his cousin.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Okay, I'm black.
Mr Clean, huh, I thought youwere yellow.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Whatever man, I love black.
Mr Clean, huh, I thought youwere yellow.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Whatever man, I love y'all relationship.
If there is something that youcould tell children who are
coming from a blended family,what advice would you give them?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Um, have fun with each other and like, try not to
get in arguments and stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You don't argue with your siblings, do you?
Sometimes, oh no.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Mostly with like my JD, because there's like most of
my bonus brothers are just like.
They just chill Like Nas Noah.
Noah's the only chill.
He's not chill when he getslike, when he gets mad or he
loses a game, he's just notchill, but he's basically chill.
(19:14):
If that doesn't happen, trey'sdefinitely chill, chill.
Most chill, yeah, we're alwaysgonna get second place.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Second place in being chill.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, and then the most not chill is JD.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
So is it because you two are very competitive?
Do you think that's the reasonwhy you guys argue yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
We just argue over games, usually Mm-hmm, because,
like sometimes when I'm beatinghim and if I just kick a field I
win.
And then it was on like NFLBlitz.
He was like go for two.
He shoved me and then clickedthe button I had to go for two
and I missed and lost.
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
That's all right, I have to go for two and I'm
missing and lost oh my goodness,it's alright, man, it's alright
.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
But one thing for sure that competitiveness, as
long as we keep it in the house,we keep it contained, it's not
going to do anything but makeyou all greater.
That's why, when you are onthat field, you can snatch
bullets Y''all.
This boy be jumping in the air,that boy's flying the other day
(20:24):
yeah.
So if you follow us on blendingwith the french's tiktok, this
boy has gone viral so many timeson youtube.
He's's him, he's him, hesnatches, he literally jumps up.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I'm second him.
Devontae Adams is him.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Okay, so Devontae, if you happen to hear this podcast
, nehemiah is giving you thetitle of being him.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
As of right now.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
As of right now, he's literally him, he is Now.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
He's the best receiver, better than Jerry Rice
.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Randy Wallace can't do nothing.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Jamar can't do nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Jake Chet is always getting locked up, but my man
and favorite quarter of all time, jair, he's strapped up any
receiver besides Devontae Adams.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
So what I'm saying is he's him now, but I'm saying
when you get older you're goingto be him.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Second him.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Nuh-uh, you ain't coming second to nobody, man
You're going to put in the work.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Devontae's him Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
One day you never know, you keep putting in the
work Devontae going to shakeyour hand and say hey, little
man.
I remember when I listened tothat podcast and you said I'm
him.
Now I'm giving you the title.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
All right, maybe, but Madden, you got to read
Justin's rating.
He got to be in that 99 cup.
Something wrong with Madden.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah, you know, and.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Johnny, here too Locked up, probably the worst
corner.
Justin Jefferson, I meanreceiver, he's not bad, but when
he gills he gets a good cornerMostly gets locked up.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Is this on Madden?
No, in real life, yes, oh hopehe's not listening.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I don't care.
I mean he's good, I get thatwrong.
But if he goes and gets a probowl corner, he goes against a
pro bowl corner.
He's getting locked up justlike he did a good gyre.
Um many people have locked himup, honestly you're gonna lock
him up next kind of like how Ilock you up.
(22:32):
Well, I do play db, but I don'twant to.
I'm gonna play receiver okay.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Well, one thing for sure is I know you're going to
do amazing.
So when it comes to school, Ihave A's and B's Because you're
him, and that's what I love.
You're able to get good grades.
You're able to do well on thefootball field, the basketball
court.
You are growing into a matureyoung man.

Young, handsome, young man, strong, fast,
intelligent.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yes, he is.
And ladies, he over heresmiling what.
Speaker 2 (23:12):

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Alright, I'll be wherever she is tomorrow.
Say, hey, you like my son,she's on my bus, okay, well,
I'll figure out who she isyou're not gonna do okay.
Well, cause you can't have agirlfriend until you're 98 why
isn't her on everyone?
well, that's a different storyand I'm pretty sure he doesn't
(23:39):
want to talk about his businesson the podcast, so we'll talk
about that a different day.
So, before we get off of here,who do we put first in our life?
Guy, yes, and as long as youput Guy first, you will always
