Have you ever pondered how the soil of our childhood shapes the essence of who we become? Ace and Yella certainly have, and they're here to unravel tales from their East Hartford roots, juxtaposing the journey with the cultural backdrop of Hartford. Our lively discussion meanders through the stereotypes and truths of locality, challenging the notion that geography is destiny. These narratives are more than just a recounting of the past; they are a vibrant exploration of identity, community, and the underdog spirit that resonates with places far beyond Connecticut's borders.
Fatherhood, the art of co-parenting, and the quest for personal integrity take the stage as we navigate the often turbulent waters of relationships. Our guests openly recount their transformations from passionate partners to dedicated co-parents, imparting wisdom gleaned from their own paternal figures. Intimacy and trust come under the microscope as we dissect the realities of staying true in monogamous relationships, the trials of infidelity, and the pursuit of peaceful coexistence with our significant others. These stories do more than just outline the contours of modern love; they serve as a beacon, guiding us through the complexities of partnership and personal growth.
And what of ambition in the midst of life's relentless hustle? A strength coach turns entrepreneur shares his vision of vending machine ventures, blending the drive for business success with the unwavering commitment to his clients. As we delve into the fabric of family life, we examine the intricate weave of traditional and blended households, the role of parental figures, and the legacy we leave for our children. This episode isn't merely a conversation; it's an odyssey through the many layers of life's endeavors, from the heart of our homes to the horizons of our dreams. Join Ace, Yella, and me, as we traverse the rich landscape of the human condition.

It's a big difference.
It's a big difference becauseso it's like 63rd and 64th, it's

Hartford is the hood.
A lot of people from EastHartford, like myself, we came
From Hartford and we moved toEast Hartford.

that I grew up, when I was myfriends, they were from Hartford
, from other towns, they're noteven from Connecticut.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
That's a good question.
Probably, like earlier on, typeshit Like we're, you know,
young, stupid, like not evensupposed to be in a relationship
, like when we first startedfucking around with each other
we were like 14, 15 Bro.
So it's like we're goingthrough all these adult emotions
and everything and we don'teven know how to process this
(09:08):
shit.
So, yeah, we went through madshit in the beginning, all the
ups and downs and everything,but you know long we spent With
each other.
Just you know again to knoweach other For real, like seeing
each other through the ups anddowns, like growing with each
other and shit, like it was.
Just I couldn't look past them,like this is the person I want
to spend the rest of my lifewith.
Like she's been with me at thelowest Of my lows, like when I
(09:30):
was broke, when I had nothing,never made me feel no different.
Always made me feel like I wasthe man All that Always built me
up man.
So like when I got to theposition that I was able to give
her what I wanted to give her,Like I would have been a fool
not to do that for her, Witheverything she's done for me,
how she always held me down andeverything like that I'll be
(09:51):
crazy, Like I had to do that forher.
Speaker 3 (09:55):

All right, here we go .
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, how is your relationship with BM number one?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
BM number one.
I'm gonna just say it becauseit's real nigga shit About BM
number one that's my dog.
I say that's my dog is justbecause that was somebody that I
was with for eight and a halfyears.
Okay, and I'm saying like, asteenagers you know what I'm
saying we had our first kidtogether that we planned,
(10:45):
planned her Youngest hell, notknowing nothing.
Yeah, it's being in love, typeshit.
You know what I'm saying.
But the reason I say that's mydog because we grew together as
parents Fuck the relationship asparents.
We learned from each other.
I learned a lot of shit fromher.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm hopeful that she learnedsome shit from me.
I'm not, you know what I'msaying.
But I felt like we maybe makesome mistakes and not like being
(11:09):
parents, like trying to learnhow to.
You know what I'm saying.
But for me personally, when itbecoming a parent for me became
easy because, like I said, I had, you know, my stepfather I had
my biological father too.
You know what I'm saying.
But my biological father was inthe streets.
I'm saying my stepfather wastoo, but he was around more.
(11:30):
You know what I'm saying.
Yeah, my father did mybiological father, anybody that
I know in my heart for this name, lush.
He did like almost then they're10 years, they eight and a half
, nine.
I was like eight, nine yearsold when he came home.
So no, no, no, he came home.
I was like eight.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
he left when I was eight, nine, so you was like 16
when you came home, 16 when Icame home In fact, that's from
two weeks I had my birthday at16.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
So I always knew like, being aparent, I can never, I don't
ever want to put my kids throughthis, like I don't ever, ever
want to make them feel like how.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I felt Were you able to develop a relationship with
him after?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Oh yeah, of course, like right now, that's my boy,
that's my dog, like I love mydad.
Do you respect him as a father?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yes, now, like it took time, yeah, it definitely
took time, but it was able tohappen.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
It was able to happen .
We had been through some shit.
How long did it take?
It took years.
It took years.
So it was a work in progress.
Like you know what I'm saying.
Like I can't even put a timeline on it.
You know what I'm saying,because we would go through some
shit and then, like then we onthe odds.
You know what I'm saying.
And then it's like we havemakeup, and you know what I'm
saying.

You know what I'm saying.
I met him a few times.
My daughter like him.
You know they been together forI can't say nothing about that.
They tied in.
You know what I'm saying.
They're a good dude.
You don't treat my daughter notype of way.
Anytime I see him is all I love.
You know what I'm saying.
(14:27):
It is what it is.
I'm happy that she's happy.
You know what I'm saying.
It's better for my daughter.
You don't want me personally.
I don't want to see a big momfucked up.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah for sure we got nothing to do with me personally
.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
For sure, I don't care, because whatever you got
going on in y'all relationship,don't got nothing to do with my
kid.
That's what I always say.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Like so you got two BMs, yeah, and you have a
separate woman in your life.
That's your lady now, right?
And you said y'all areapproaching two years.
Yeah, all right, two yearsfaithful.
Yeah.
Now my question to you two,gentlemen how, how do you deal
(15:08):
with the temptation of Perhaps abeautiful woman offering
herself to you?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Wow, that's simple.
They ain't her, they ain't her,they ain't who I'm with.
I mean that temptation.
You gotta be a man about yourshit.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So there's nothing that would make you, either one
of you, be able to step out.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Nah, like I don't see that happening, like I always
say, no One night.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
No connections, no ties, no phone numbers nothing.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Because it's like, even if nobody knows, I know for
real, I know it sounds likecliche and everything but it's
like my conscience really befucking me up for real.
And it's like, if I know youdon't deserve that, why would I
do you like that?
Yeah, sure, like it ain't right.
Like I'm one of those peoplewho really stand out, like I'm
gonna treat you how I wanna betreated, type shit.
Like if I wanna want you to dothat to me, I'm not gonna do you
(16:06):
like that.
Like I'm not really stand out.
Now, that's always been.
You know how it been.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I always been a person that was like I like to
compete in.
Like.
You know what I'm saying, Ilike to compete in it.
I don't know if it's age orwhatever.
I just always been mature at ayoung age and like and then now
it's like it's just locked inand solidified, like it's just.
That's just what it is Like.
I'm not having to compare andbeing faithful.
Like you know what I'm saying,I didn't did that.
(16:33):
Like I didn't.
You know what I'm saying, Inever cheated.
I've been single, I've nevercheated and your whole life
Never cheated.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Never cheated, probably when I was younger,
like, just like I said, you know, being young, awesome, young
and dumb shit, royalty, just abig thing.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah, like, in all aspects.
Now, royalty is a huge thing tome too.
Like, yeah, certainly, loyaltyis certainly a huge thing to me
too, but I'm absolutely cheatingon a majority of females that
I've been with and I wouldn'tsay, I wouldn't say that that's
a shot at a question at myloyalty or anything like that.
(17:07):
How would you feel?
Would you feel like that's alike I'm not loyal because I'm?
I had infidelities.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
See, see, that's that's, that's hard, that's hard
, but that does play a part ofloyalty as well.
Mm-hmm, you know what I'msaying, but like it's not, you
know what I'm saying.
That's not a cliche Cause.
I hate when they say man gonnabe man.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
But situations do happen.
You don't know what's going onin somebody's relationship and
(17:36):
you don't know what that man isthinking about.
Yeah, for sure you don't knowwhat that man is going through.
For sure you don't know whatthat woman is doing or not doing
that home that making this manhave to go that way.
You know what I'm saying Forreal, either, and I'm gonna say
this ladies, nobody looking atme like oh, are you trying to
control that?
I'm just saying people arepeople.
You know what I'm saying.
They people go through shit andI'm not condoning that.
(17:57):
I'm saying that's okay, it'snot okay, but I truly just
believe that Men aren'tmonogamous creatures.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I don't know honestly , and it's like I feel that I
have friends who you knowthey're poly and everything like
that, and it's like teach usall Like I respect it.
You know, if you can tell thepeople that you're with that,
you know this is how I rock, andeverything like that.
But I respect it.
Like, as long as you're notlike, yeah, telling you that.
(18:28):
Oh yeah, I'm with monogamy.
It is that the third one.
Blah, blah behind your back I'mdoing all this shit.
Yeah, that's called deception.
Yeah, exactly, but you know, ifyou can keep it real with the
people that you're messing withand let them know they're like,
yeah, teach us all.
Like, do your thing, I respectit.
Well, like, when it comes tomonogamy or not anything like
that, I just feel like, like Isaid, like, teach us all.
(18:49):
Like me personally, I'm justlike my brother in the way that
I've always wanted to be in arelationship, Like I'd rather be
in a relationship.
Yeah, I'd rather be in arelationship.
I feel like it's dope going hometo my best friend every single
day and like we can, whetherit's watching TV or chilling,
just chatting, we can just bechatting for hours and shit.
(19:09):
Just, you know, I've been.
Are you trying to go through aphone?
No, have you ever?
Probably when I was younger.
I don't know some shit, but no,like, I feel like your shit is
your shit, my shit is my shit.
Like, especially if I've got areason to be looking to your
shit and everything Like if I'mwith you, I'm with you because I
trust you.
Okay, Kind of thing.
(19:30):
Like if I don't trust you, I'mnot going to waste my time and
be with you Now 13 years deepDoes your girl go out?
Not much If she does like,probably like with her sister or
something like that, Probablylike one of her best friends.
What?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
average night.
What time is your lady cominghome from work?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
She works at home.
So um, just like five, Likeshe's done at five.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
So she's done at five .
Yo, I'm trying to create ascenario in my head.
Talk to me.
Talk to me.
I have to understand yourlifestyle and your, your
situation in order to create ascenario that works Gotcha.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
So for the most part, to draw you like a picture,
we're homebodies for the mostpart, okay.
So like we literally likeattached at the hip type shit,
like if I'm somewhere, mostlikely you're going to see her
and vice versa.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Do you work from home ?
Speaker 4 (20:26):
No, what time do you get home?
It all depends on what time ofthe day it is, whatever time it
is.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Let's say, you get home Tuesday night 7.30.
There's no kids, because youdon't have any.
It's just you and Shorty andthe crib.
Yeah, on an average night thatyou're coming home, what can you
expect upon walking in the door?
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Um, for one, her to be rolling up a piece for us at
the end of the day, for us towind down.
Um, good energy, she's alwaysgood energy.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
She's always expecting of you.
She knows you're coming.
She knows I'm coming.
Okay, yeah, you come home.
There's a man in the house,uh-huh, they're watching TV
drinking wine.
They're unaware that he's inthe house.
You come home.
How would that play out?
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Uh, you could have bucked like.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
All clothes are on.
Nothing inappropriate is infront of you.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
So my first question to her is going to be who is
this man?
Okay, she's my best friend.
I know you're best friends, sothat's not the case.
And, um, I'm going to try tokeep things cool.
I don't always want to, youknow, go to a violent round.
Just you know, walk in, rush onthe dude and everything like
that.
I'm going to fill out thesituation Like, if I don't know
(21:49):
the dude, that's already a bigred flag for me Because she
knows anyone that I mess withand everything like that, and
vice versa.
But it fills the situation likethat and it all depends on his
energy, like, if he's cool, Icould just get him up out of
there.
But if I'm feeling like it'ssomething between y'all or
something like that, like youlooking at me like I almost
(22:11):
shouldn't be here in my own shit, then like I'm going to have to
hook off on you or somethinglike that, I'm going to have to
drag you out of my shit.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Do you think that you would be able to continue
forward with the relationshipafter that?
No, under no circumstances.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying so yeah, I stand on
principles yeah, absolutelyAlways.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
You got to Absolutely .
I thought that's how I surviveto this age, and I don't even
just saying I'm 31,.
To me that's a lot.
It's from all my friends andcousins, family members I lost.
I ain't even making it to thisage, whether it's from the
streets or whatever.
It's just it feel different.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Where I differentiate in that situation.
I've been in that situation.
Right, right, I would go mindmy business.
I would go right in my room,watch TV by myself and continue
my night and let's see how thisplays out.
I heard you.
Okay, you got a lot of patience.
I'm a different breed.
Yeah, you got a lot of patience.
(23:47):
Not for real.
I want to see what's naturallygoing to take place.
I'm going to greet thegentleman.
Hey, what's going on?
How you doing?
Okay, I see how, watching TV.
Let me get up out of here.
I'm going to go in my room.
I'll see you out later.
You're going to see how thisplays out, Girl.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
how does it play out?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Whatever it plays out , it goes left and they do what
they do out there.
I hope they have a great night.
I hope they have a great night.
I know I could live with that.
I heard you.
I would never stop a man or awoman from doing what they truly
desire to do.
So if this is my girl and I'mwith her for five years and we
(24:29):
go to a Chris Brown concert andChris Brown calls her on stage
and he gives her the opportunityto come backstage and go on a
tour bus and stuff like that, byall means do you.
I would never stop you.
But you making that decisionshows me where I stand.
So you make the decision for me.
(24:51):
Essentially, you know what I'msaying.
That's my approach to life.
I respect that.
I respect that.
That's why I've been singleover 10 years.
I heard you.
I heard you.
I heard you For real.
Yeah, that's why I've beensingle over 10 years.
I can't secure a relationshipwith a female because I guess in
(25:13):
a sense, I'm too selfish.
These bitches be wanting you toput them above everything and
honestly, bitch not comingbefore this podcast, she not
coming before my daughter, shenot coming before my mom, she
not coming before my peace.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm making that very clear toanybody that I deal with.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
You do that in a relationship too, I make that
clear as well.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
That peace thing is big bro, that is huge man.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
How often do you find your lady disturbing your peace
?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Never.
I'm big on that, bro.
My whole thing is I talk to mybrother about this all the time.
I went through a period in mylife where I was thinking about
myself, when I was like, if Iwas to walk into a room, type,
shit, would I like me?
And I was like, damn, Iprobably wouldn't.
(26:11):
That's a good question.
So I had to really work onmyself.
These are the things that Ireally want to do.
Should I be acting this way?
Should I be responding thiskind of way?
So on and so forth.
And through that process Ifound my peace.
(26:33):
I found what makes me happy,what keeps me good, so I protect
that at all costs.
So it doesn't matter whetherit's like, if anyone's trying to
just interrupt my shit, take meout of that peaceful place, I
have to just squash that.
You got it, bro.
Like whether it's family,whether it's friends, it doesn't
(26:55):
matter who it may be.
You can be important to me.
But it's like, if you love me,if you want me to be good, you
want to fuck up my peace?
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Absolutely Talk to me , Ace.
I think that's probably thebiggest thing for me.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
It don't sound like there's no toxicity in y'all
relationships.
It sounds like everything islove and peace in y'all
relationships.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
It wasn't shit, it's not, it's not.
My relationship is definitelynot toxic, and I think it's one
of the relationships where, like, toxicity didn't happen you
know what I'm saying but itwasn't like detrimental to where
we were going to leave eachother.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just like you know, welive together, we've been

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Y'all were together for a year and then y'all moved
in.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
It's like you're getting to know each other.
So it was like you don't seecertain shit as you don't like
certain behaviors or what.
You know what I'm saying.
So it was like my mom alwayssay this to me all the time.
She said when I first moved inwith my first big mom, she was
like you're going to finally getto see, say you think you know
somebody now you live with them.
You really going to get to knoweach other?

few years.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
My BM is like future nigga, so that happened.

I want to live life, I want toget my.
This is real.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
And how is it?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
merging the families.
It's good I got, I got twogirls.
The girls get along with thethree kids.
Yeah, she has two boys and shehas a girl, her daughter, her
daughter, my oldest daughter.
They're around like the sameage and my youngest is three and
her youngest is four and hermiddle one is seven.
No, he's not four, he's five,sorry.
(39:18):
Well, yeah, they are, it's,it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,it's.
It should be fun here All rightNow, here we go.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
I can change the tone a little bit.
Has there ever been a situationwith the kids her kids and your
kids where you had to choosesides or maybe, like you know,
break up a fight and scold yourkid because your kid was in the
wrong?
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
I was kind of I'm a big advocate for her.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
I don't shine, so you don't show no favoritism.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
No, it's.
It can't be.
It can't be.
That's not fair.
You're going to change all ofy'all the same.
Change all of y'all the same.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
So you don't think that your daughter would see it
like I'm your daughter?
Why am I getting treated thesame as him?
What?
Speaker 1 (40:10):
I mean the same as far as like how like I said, how
I treat my daughter, I'm goingto treat her kids like how I
treat mine.
It's like so.
It's not about love it'snothing but love.
So if I'm feeling to see in thesituation where you're wrong,
whether it's in my daughter ornot, I'm going to scold you too.
Like you know what I'm saying,I'm letting her know my, my, my
oldest, she's about to be 11next week and we can have she
(40:31):
knows, like you know what I'msaying.
Like she'll do certain things,or what day, huh.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
What number she's at 22nd.
Oh, the 22nd.
Why is it 26?
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Oh, word, what's that Both of what, aquarius, yeah,
I'm going to say.
You know she, I say certainthings.
We have a constant.
Like my oldest, our bond is isdifferent, like that's my baby,
that's my first, so I'm sayingso.
And, once again, like I raisedher, I always talk to her as a,
(41:01):
as a person, like how me and youtalk yeah, obviously not with
the language or stuff, but likehow baby, I never baby talk.
So her vocabulary that she gotolder was was on point, like
everything, every every year shegets to a month, like she
getting a war.
So she had her class withgrades.
You know what I'm saying.
So it just come from me, hermom, or you know there's us
(41:25):
teaching her stuff, or just theway I talk to her, like our bond
is crazy.
So she know if, if daddy got tosay something to you, I got to
scold you, you know that you waswrong.
It's I don't, I don't picksides.
You know what I'm saying.
But if my daughter is, is inthe right, yes, I'm going to
pick that side.
Yeah, and as a, you know, as mygirlfriend, she's going to do
(41:46):
the same shit as you should.
And even with that that don't,it's no bad blood with that.
It can't be.
Yeah, it can't be.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
That's, that's.
That's weird.
I mean, that sounds, thatsounds good on your end, because
it's not like that in everyhousehold, of course not, and
most households is not like thatwhere y'all could just uh,
uniting, unite, and there'd beno bad blood, like you know what
(42:16):
I'm saying.
Like, yeah, I could nameseveral situations I don't want
to get too deep into names oranything like that but just uh,
kids merging in the householdand you know, like step dads or
step moms picking sides andthings like that, even even that
(42:36):
creating conflict within therelationship between them two,
like so much happens, so muchconflict between them and the
relationship that, like kids endup having to leave, will be
rearranged and situated, youknow, and things like that.
So, with the kids that you dealwith, the five kids that you
deal with, they all range andages, yeah, are they, um, are
(43:02):
they teaching them about genderfluidity in school and stuff
like that?
Like, uh, if a boy in schoolfeels like he is a little girl,
the teachers encourage them.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
You are, you are a girl.
No, we don't care, we don'tcare.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
So y'all have a traditional household in terms
of the boys, or boys the girlsor girls.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
And like, for example , my girl, her, her, her kid's
father he's not really in thepicture like that, so she has
two boys.
So, like me, being in thehousehold is a little different.
Like I'm giving them structure,yeah, I'm giving them morals,
you know what I'm saying.
So there's certain things thatthey thought they can do before.
(43:55):
I'm not allowing that now, likeyou know what I'm saying, it's
not even allowing it, justshowing them different.
Like that's not right.
Yeah, you're not doing that.
Okay.
So they know what a man, what aman's man is.
I'm in the house, so you see it, he's in your face, so it was
me.
It mean, I don't see that everstrain any other way.
(44:15):
You know what I'm saying.
Like, as you, it's right here,you know what.
I'm saying and I'm open to talkto you about anything, ask me
anything and I always told him,I told him my girl when we first
got together, I'm like you know, I want to meet, even though
the his father, I'm gonna say Isay it's father, the father
piece of shit, it's just one ofhis pieces of shit.
You know what I'm saying?
(44:36):
He ain't even what are theyeven talking about?
Like he's just piece of shit.
Piece of shit, dude.
But I always told him like,regardless of who he is, I still
in the mean cause I'm beingaround his kids and that's
that's honorable, you have to.
You have to, cause I want thesame respect with mines.
That's honorable, you have to.
And I don't even care, like Isaid, I don't care what type of
(44:57):
nigga he is.
That's cool.
As long as you know who'saround your kids, A hundred
percent.
A hundred percent, regardlessof how you feel about her or
whatever you feel about me,cause you feel about her,
whatever the case may be, youknow your kids is in.
They ain't good hands.
You know what I'm saying.
They gotta stand up nigga inthe house, Like you know what
I'm saying.
They good, so we're we don'teven gotta be friends.
(45:18):
Yeah, I bet him he's a weirddude.
That's all I can say.
I don't want to.
I'm not a nigga that reallystand up trying to bash me, but
he know who he is.
You know what I'm saying and Iknow who he is.
It is what it is.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
Yeah, it'd be like that.
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (45:33):
It's like the father's like home.
I just don't respect Like andI'm like I said, let me get off
him Just father's in general,that move like that.
I don't respect that.
You know what I'm saying,especially boys.
What do you call him a deadbeat?
Definitely for sure.
What's a deadbeat?
A deadbeat is a person, is aman, I can't even say a man.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
Yeah, you can't say a man.
You can't say a man.
It's not limited to a sex.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
I say, I say I say a guy that you have kids.
You're not taking yourresponsibility as far as
mentally being there for them,emotionally being there for them
and financially being there forthem.
You're not available at all.
So you know what?
I'm saying You're not being,you're not available at all.
You're not, and for anything,they have going on and they like
(46:21):
they're absent.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
So if a nigga is there, if a nigga is there, he's
there.
He's there every day.
He's available mentally, he'savailable emotionally, he's
available to take the kidswhatever they gotta do, do stuff
like that, but he's notavailable financially because
he's broke.
Does that make him a bad dad?
Speaker 1 (46:38):
No, no, and the reason I said I'm saying when
I'm at financially is obviouslywhen you get to a certain point
in your life to where you'reokay financially to take care of
your kids, but you're workingtowards that, that's different,
yeah, but just cause you don'thave it at that point in the
time that I don't want to meetyou by the father Okay, cause
it's the times when I didn'thave it, yeah, and I keep it at
thousands.
It's the times when I didn'thave it.
(46:59):
But my daughter no, daddy wasthere I'm taking her every
weekend.
I'm doing when I do get money,I'm taking her out.
We going out to do somethingyeah, and I try my best to give
something.
I mean, I have been the best atfinancial sometimes.
Yeah, you know what I'm sayingand I'll be the first to say
that that don't make me a badfather.
Yeah, my baby mother know that.
Okay, she know what type offather and my daughter know what
(47:19):
type of dad I am.
You know what I'm saying.
Our bond is ridiculous, likethat's my baby, and then you got
two kids, so you got moneypooling from all the time.
Yeah, like I said I was going togo back to men.
Yeah, especially now,especially with another kid you
know what I'm saying.
Like my last baby.
Like it's like you said it doescome from service, but it's
(47:41):
manageable, like cause it's likeI said.
Prayer is another thing.
I pray all the time.
Like so I'm very spiritual to alot of shit.
You know what I'm saying.
Yeah, it get me through a lot.
You know what I'm saying.
And it's like it's a balance.
You know what I'm saying.
It's a mind state, it's amentality.
I got to get it and I got tostay right here.
(48:02):
I got to stay afloat.
You know what I'm saying.
Make the shit work If I falloff you know what I'm saying.
I'm gonna get back up and be allright.
You know what I'm saying.
But it ain't going to be just ahuge fall off because when I
was doing it right, the firsttime I was able to get to where
I was at.
You know what I'm saying.
It's like to pick back up.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
I think getting those businesses started and
generating some more incomewould definitely put you in a
better position in 2024.
Yeah, everything.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
So making the moves.
I'm real good now, but you knowI can't wait until I get right,
right, you know what I'm saying.
I'm saying that's what.
I care about.
I know this shit gonna be crazy.
It's not just, it's never justabout me, like it's never just
about me.
Of course I don't get right, butit's everyone I love that I
care about around me.
You know what I'm saying.
Even people I fuck with Anybody.
(48:51):
Like you say your podcast, likeyou got your own shit you first
told me about.
I was happy about that shit.
I didn't even know him.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm like, yeah, that's tough.
No, he definitely.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
You know what I'm saying he definitely was a
supporter from day one.
I could definitely.
Speaker 1 (49:05):
I was waiting for mine to be.
I'm like I'm gonna get one.
I had to wait, you know whatI'm saying.
I see him all the time.
So it was like it's nothing,it's just a time and place for
everything.
And then this has workedperfect because I had the time
for it.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not a type of person togive you a time and be like,
yeah, I'm gonna pull up and Iwill show up.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
How is it growing up in Isarfrid?
I ain't gonna lie, bro.
Growing up in Isarfrid.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Shit was kinda fun it was, but I'm from we left
Isarfrid, probably Like this boy.
My brother was born LeftIsarfrid, probably like 4 or 5
years old, and then we moved toWest Hartford West Hartford For
a little bit and then we justManaged to East Hartford and
(02:44):
that's what I was raised by therest of my life.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
That's where you been ever since.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
From grade school all the way up to high school.
Okay, so anybody ask me, Iain't afraid to say that I'm
from East Hartford, I'm born inHartford, but I'm from East
Hartford.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I'm noticing this as I speak To more people In
Connecticut in the Hartford area.
Is it A big difference to befrom East Hartford or?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Hartford.
It's a big difference.
It's a big difference becauseso it's like 63rd and 64th, it's
not, it's like the EafingBridge, but it's just like
Hartford is his own world.
If you look at anything in myConnecticut, that's the first
thing you probably don't hearHartford and taxes.
(03:33):
That's what you go ahead fromConnecticut, hartford and taxes.
Hartford is the hood.
A lot of people from EastHartford, like myself, we came
From Hartford and we moved toEast Hartford.
So when I was growing up inEast Hartford, a lot of people
that I grew up, when I was myfriends, they were from Hartford
, from other towns, they're noteven from Connecticut.
(03:54):
A lot of people migrated fromHartford.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Even with the last interview I did, there was
somebody here from East Hartfordand I introduced him.
I was like yeah, he's fromHartford.
He was just looking at me likeCool, from Hartford, I'm not
from Hartford.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, you gotta.
You gotta say that Because alot of people look at you Away
from Connecticut.
You look a certain way, youdress a certain way and you're
from Hartford.
You got Cardi's on you fromHartford.
Sometimes that nigga may not befrom Hartford, he's Hartford,
(04:33):
bloomfield, windsor.
Everybody got their picks whothey fuck with.
People think East Hartford Soft.
A lot of people are soft.
They got an underdog, yeahbasically.
I don't take it no way.
I don't get into that.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I can relate.
I'm from Staten Island.
When it comes to being anunderdog, staten Island is the
borough that's always forgotten,that's always slept on.
I know how you feel when yousay Y'all are slept on.
They think y'all are weak orwhatever the case may be, I can
relate.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
To me it's funny Because Wherever you from, it do
make you, but at the end of theday you're still a man, so you
still got a stand on your owntoo.
Nobody cares where you fromExactly.
I meet a lot of niggas, a lotof street niggas.
My upbringing is I was raisedby that.
(05:35):
That's what it is.
I can't name a block inHartford.
I'm not from Hartford.
I was raised in Bowles ParkBetween 5 and 7.
That's what I can think.
That's what my mom told me.
All I know is that you'reHartford For me.
You still gotta be a man.
(05:56):
I'm gonna fuck where you from.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
You gotta stand on your own too.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
That's a fact.
It's a misconception.
You ain't from Hartford, younot hood.
I ain't like that.
There's a lot of niggas fromthe hood that I feel they ain't
like that.
You just from the hood.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
It's like that everywhere.
It's like that in New York tooStaten Island, brooklyn, queens
there's niggas, that's in thehood.
That's just simply not likethat.
Not like that.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You just from the hood.
Niggas know you from that block, that's it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
You grew up over there, you ain't with nothing.
So yeah, look, get into yourupbringing a little bit more.
So yeah, just you know.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
A little bit of like the Did y'all grow up?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
together Same household.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Yeah, yeah, like that's my role.
Dog for real.
Oh, okay, okay, okay, we got it, we got into it all.
Man Like from the fights, fromthe this, like this is my role.
Dog for real yeah, you know,menace is going on.
Man Like just you know beingout there like playing ball, so
how many?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
years apart, are y'all Four, four, yeah, okay.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Good role model?
Yeah, absolutely.
When I look at him, he is thebest role model that I have
about how a father Is supposedto look, how a father is
supposed to treat his daughters,the relationship that you want
to have, how many kids you haveI got no kids right now.
You want kids Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
You have a girl, yeah , a fiance, okay.
So it seems Like you're takingthe necessary steps Before
becoming a father 100%.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Me and my girl Been with each other for like 13
years Like first love, firstlove type shit, bro, high school
sweetheart.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
So are you telling me right now that this woman is
the last Is the only woman thatyou've been with for the last 13
years.
That's the only woman my man.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Never stepped out.
Nope, that's my heart, that'smy soul, that's my best friend
right there.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
And do you trust and believe that?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
She's reciprocated that to you.
100%, 100%.
That's true love, 100% witheverything, with everything.
Trust me, I would never put aring on If I didn't, like I said
, 13 years deep.
Are you a jealous man?
No, no.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Has there ever been Any type of situation when you
Questioned or doubted yourpartner's loyalty?
And that's gonna go for both ofyou.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
That's a good question.
Probably, like earlier on, typeshit Like we're, you know,
young, stupid, like not evensupposed to be in a relationship
, like when we first startedfucking around with each other
we were like 14, 15 Bro.
So it's like we're goingthrough all these adult emotions
and everything and we don'teven know how to process this
(09:08):
shit.
So, yeah, we went through madshit in the beginning, all the
ups and downs and everything,but you know long we spent With
each other.
Just you know again to knoweach other For real, like seeing
each other through the ups anddowns, like growing with each
other and shit, like it was.
Just I couldn't look past them,like this is the person I want
to spend the rest of my lifewith.
Like she's been with me at thelowest Of my lows, like when I
(09:30):
was broke, when I had nothing,never made me feel no different.
Always made me feel like I wasthe man All that Always built me
up man.
So like when I got to theposition that I was able to give
her what I wanted to give her,Like I would have been a fool
not to do that for her, Witheverything she's done for me,
how she always held me down andeverything like that I'll be
(09:51):
crazy, Like I had to do that forher.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
So you're 13 years in .
How deep are you?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
We are, we.
Are we?
A year about to be two years,all right.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
So, girl, that you with now is not the mother of
your kids?
No, you have one BM, or two,two.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
All right, here we go .
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, how is your relationship with BM number one?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
BM number one.
I'm gonna just say it becauseit's real nigga shit About BM
number one that's my dog.
I say that's my dog is justbecause that was somebody that I
was with for eight and a halfyears.
Okay, and I'm saying like, asteenagers you know what I'm
saying we had our first kidtogether that we planned,
(10:45):
planned her Youngest hell, notknowing nothing.
Yeah, it's being in love, typeshit.
You know what I'm saying.
But the reason I say that's mydog because we grew together as
parents Fuck the relationship asparents.
We learned from each other.
I learned a lot of shit fromher.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm hopeful that she learnedsome shit from me.
I'm not, you know what I'msaying.
But I felt like we maybe makesome mistakes and not like being
(11:09):
parents, like trying to learnhow to.
You know what I'm saying.
But for me personally, when itbecoming a parent for me became
easy because, like I said, I had, you know, my stepfather I had
my biological father too.
You know what I'm saying.
But my biological father was inthe streets.
I'm saying my stepfather wastoo, but he was around more.
(11:30):
You know what I'm saying.
Yeah, my father did mybiological father, anybody that
I know in my heart for this name, lush.
He did like almost then they're10 years, they eight and a half
, nine.
I was like eight, nine yearsold when he came home.
So no, no, no, he came home.
I was like eight.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
he left when I was eight, nine, so you was like 16
when you came home, 16 when Icame home In fact, that's from
two weeks I had my birthday at16.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
So I always knew like, being aparent, I can never, I don't
ever want to put my kids throughthis, like I don't ever, ever
want to make them feel like how.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I felt Were you able to develop a relationship with
him after?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Oh yeah, of course, like right now, that's my boy,
that's my dog, like I love mydad.
Do you respect him as a father?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yes, now, like it took time, yeah, it definitely
took time, but it was able tohappen.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
It was able to happen .
We had been through some shit.
How long did it take?
It took years.
It took years.
So it was a work in progress.
Like you know what I'm saying.
Like I can't even put a timeline on it.
You know what I'm saying,because we would go through some
shit and then, like then we onthe odds.
You know what I'm saying.
And then it's like we havemakeup, and you know what I'm
saying.
It's like he has to get to knowme as me.
(12:41):
You know what I'm saying.
You gotta understand.
Like he wasn't there to raiseme.
You know what I'm saying.
He gotta learn you.
He gotta learn me.
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
That's a man though you know what I'm saying.
He didn't get to mold you, sonow you gotta learn you.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Right.
So now he learned me and I'mlearning him.
So now we know what each otherlike and we don't like.
We match.
You know what I'm saying.
Like pull up on my dad all thetime.
We smoke, we sip something, wejust talk about whatever
business, whatever, like I foundalways put me on game.
I always felt like at a youngage I was you know what I'm
saying Above.
You know what I'm sayingBecause I had those type of room
(13:14):
moms.
Yeah for sure, that's what's up.
Back to the question BM2.
Yeah, bm2.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
BM2.
That one looks a little bitmore troubling.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, BM2,.
We went through some shit Likesome shit.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And where are y'all?
What are y'all stand now, wegood, we co-parent real good.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I might even want to hang on back here and not like
that.
She's a good mom.
Yeah, she's a very good mom.
She do her thing.
You know what I'm saying.
She hard working.
You know what I'm saying.
She always makes somebody drivethe street Like that's just one
thing I don't ever have toworry about.
You know what I'm saying.
And we just keep that opencommunication.
As far as our daughter, youknow what I'm saying.
Whatever she need, she get it.
(13:58):
Call me, I got it.
You know what I'm saying.
It's like we call each otherfor.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Do y'all have any personal relations?
No, you don't do that.
You and BM1, neither.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
No BM1, she got her whole man.
She go with him for like fiveyears.
I follow him too.
He a respectable dude.
You know what I'm saying.
I met him a few times.
My daughter like him.
You know they been together forI can't say nothing about that.
They tied in.
You know what I'm saying.
They're a good dude.
You don't treat my daughter notype of way.
Anytime I see him is all I love.
You know what I'm saying.
(14:27):
It is what it is.
I'm happy that she's happy.
You know what I'm saying.
It's better for my daughter.
You don't want me personally.
I don't want to see a big momfucked up.
Yeah for sure.
And you know what I'm saying.
I want y'all to be happy forthem.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah for sure we got nothing to do with me personally
.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
For sure, I don't care, because whatever you got
going on in y'all relationship,don't got nothing to do with my
kid.
That's what I always say.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Like so you got two BMs, yeah, and you have a
separate woman in your life.
That's your lady now, right?
And you said y'all areapproaching two years.
Yeah, all right, two yearsfaithful.
Yeah.
Now my question to you two,gentlemen how, how do you deal
(15:08):
with the temptation of Perhaps abeautiful woman offering
herself to you?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Wow, that's simple.
They ain't her, they ain't her,they ain't who I'm with.
I mean that temptation.
You gotta be a man about yourshit.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So there's nothing that would make you, either one
of you, be able to step out.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Nah, like I don't see that happening, like I always
say, no One night.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
No connections, no ties, no phone numbers nothing.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Because it's like, even if nobody knows, I know for
real, I know it sounds likecliche and everything but it's
like my conscience really befucking me up for real.
And it's like, if I know youdon't deserve that, why would I
do you like that?
Yeah, sure, like it ain't right.
Like I'm one of those peoplewho really stand out, like I'm
gonna treat you how I wanna betreated, type shit.
Like if I wanna want you to dothat to me, I'm not gonna do you
(16:06):
like that.
Like I'm not really stand out.
Now, that's always been.
You know how it been.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I always been a person that was like I like to
compete in.
Like.
You know what I'm saying, Ilike to compete in it.
I don't know if it's age orwhatever.
I just always been mature at ayoung age and like and then now
it's like it's just locked inand solidified, like it's just.
That's just what it is Like.
I'm not having to compare andbeing faithful.
Like you know what I'm saying,I didn't did that.
(16:33):
Like I didn't.
You know what I'm saying, Inever cheated.
I've been single, I've nevercheated and your whole life
Never cheated.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Never cheated, probably when I was younger,
like, just like I said, you know, being young, awesome, young
and dumb shit, royalty, just abig thing.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah, like, in all aspects.
Now, royalty is a huge thing tome too.
Like, yeah, certainly, loyaltyis certainly a huge thing to me
too, but I'm absolutely cheatingon a majority of females that
I've been with and I wouldn'tsay, I wouldn't say that that's
a shot at a question at myloyalty or anything like that.
(17:07):
How would you feel?
Would you feel like that's alike I'm not loyal because I'm?
I had infidelities.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
See, see, that's that's, that's hard, that's hard
, but that does play a part ofloyalty as well.
Mm-hmm, you know what I'msaying, but like it's not, you
know what I'm saying.
That's not a cliche Cause.
I hate when they say man gonnabe man.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
But situations do happen.
You don't know what's going onin somebody's relationship and
(17:36):
you don't know what that man isthinking about.
Yeah, for sure you don't knowwhat that man is going through.
For sure you don't know whatthat woman is doing or not doing
that home that making this manhave to go that way.
You know what I'm saying Forreal, either, and I'm gonna say
this ladies, nobody looking atme like oh, are you trying to
control that?
I'm just saying people arepeople.
You know what I'm saying.
They people go through shit andI'm not condoning that.
(17:57):
I'm saying that's okay, it'snot okay, but I truly just
believe that Men aren'tmonogamous creatures.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I don't know honestly , and it's like I feel that I
have friends who you knowthey're poly and everything like
that, and it's like teach usall Like I respect it.
You know, if you can tell thepeople that you're with that,
you know this is how I rock, andeverything like that.
But I respect it.
Like, as long as you're notlike, yeah, telling you that.
(18:28):
Oh yeah, I'm with monogamy.
It is that the third one.
Blah, blah behind your back I'mdoing all this shit.
Yeah, that's called deception.
Yeah, exactly, but you know, ifyou can keep it real with the
people that you're messing withand let them know they're like,
yeah, teach us all.
Like, do your thing, I respectit.
Well, like, when it comes tomonogamy or not anything like
that, I just feel like, like Isaid, like, teach us all.
(18:49):
Like me personally, I'm justlike my brother in the way that
I've always wanted to be in arelationship, Like I'd rather be
in a relationship.
Yeah, I'd rather be in arelationship.
I feel like it's dope going hometo my best friend every single
day and like we can, whetherit's watching TV or chilling,
just chatting, we can just bechatting for hours and shit.
(19:09):
Just, you know, I've been.
Are you trying to go through aphone?
No, have you ever?
Probably when I was younger.
I don't know some shit, but no,like, I feel like your shit is
your shit, my shit is my shit.
Like, especially if I've got areason to be looking to your
shit and everything Like if I'mwith you, I'm with you because I
trust you.
Okay, Kind of thing.
(19:30):
Like if I don't trust you, I'mnot going to waste my time and
be with you Now 13 years deepDoes your girl go out?
Not much If she does like,probably like with her sister or
something like that, Probablylike one of her best friends.
What?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
average night.
What time is your lady cominghome from work?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
She works at home.
So um, just like five, Likeshe's done at five.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
So she's done at five .
Yo, I'm trying to create ascenario in my head.
Talk to me.
Talk to me.
I have to understand yourlifestyle and your, your
situation in order to create ascenario that works Gotcha.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
So for the most part, to draw you like a picture,
we're homebodies for the mostpart, okay.
So like we literally likeattached at the hip type shit,
like if I'm somewhere, mostlikely you're going to see her
and vice versa.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Do you work from home ?
Speaker 4 (20:26):
No, what time do you get home?
It all depends on what time ofthe day it is, whatever time it
is.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Let's say, you get home Tuesday night 7.30.
There's no kids, because youdon't have any.
It's just you and Shorty andthe crib.
Yeah, on an average night thatyou're coming home, what can you
expect upon walking in the door?
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Um, for one, her to be rolling up a piece for us at
the end of the day, for us towind down.
Um, good energy, she's alwaysgood energy.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
She's always expecting of you.
She knows you're coming.
She knows I'm coming.
Okay, yeah, you come home.
There's a man in the house,uh-huh, they're watching TV
drinking wine.
They're unaware that he's inthe house.
You come home.
How would that play out?
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Uh, you could have bucked like.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
All clothes are on.
Nothing inappropriate is infront of you.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
So my first question to her is going to be who is
this man?
Okay, she's my best friend.
I know you're best friends, sothat's not the case.
And, um, I'm going to try tokeep things cool.
I don't always want to, youknow, go to a violent round.
Just you know, walk in, rush onthe dude and everything like
that.
I'm going to fill out thesituation Like, if I don't know
(21:49):
the dude, that's already a bigred flag for me Because she
knows anyone that I mess withand everything like that, and
vice versa.
But it fills the situation likethat and it all depends on his
energy, like, if he's cool, Icould just get him up out of
there.
But if I'm feeling like it'ssomething between y'all or
something like that, like youlooking at me like I almost
(22:11):
shouldn't be here in my own shit, then like I'm going to have to
hook off on you or somethinglike that, I'm going to have to
drag you out of my shit.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Do you think that you would be able to continue
forward with the relationshipafter that?
No, under no circumstances.
So that's an automatictermination, absolutely.
How about you?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Well, like you find out a dude in the house and I
don't know, yeah, but yeah,that's over with.
You know what I'm saying?
That's over with, becauseanybody that come over to my
house, I should know who comeand know who.
She tells you directly there wasnothing inappropriate done, hey
it's already inappropriate thathe in my house and I ain't know
about that he's sitting heredrinking wine with you.
I don't know who this nigga,you ain't never tell me about
(22:52):
him.
You ain't not a cousin ornothing, not a call or text or
who.
You know what I'm saying?
No, I never seen him before.
Yeah, this is our house, soanybody going through our house
I should know who you shouldknow.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying so yeah, I stand on
principles yeah, absolutelyAlways.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
You got to Absolutely .
I thought that's how I surviveto this age, and I don't even
just saying I'm 31,.
To me that's a lot.
It's from all my friends andcousins, family members I lost.
I ain't even making it to thisage, whether it's from the
streets or whatever.
It's just it feel different.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Where I differentiate in that situation.
I've been in that situation.
Right, right, I would go mindmy business.
I would go right in my room,watch TV by myself and continue
my night and let's see how thisplays out.
I heard you.
Okay, you got a lot of patience.
I'm a different breed.
Yeah, you got a lot of patience.
(23:47):
Not for real.
I want to see what's naturallygoing to take place.
I'm going to greet thegentleman.
Hey, what's going on?
How you doing?
Okay, I see how, watching TV.
Let me get up out of here.
I'm going to go in my room.
I'll see you out later.
You're going to see how thisplays out, Girl.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
how does it play out?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Whatever it plays out , it goes left and they do what
they do out there.
I hope they have a great night.
I hope they have a great night.
I know I could live with that.
I heard you.
I would never stop a man or awoman from doing what they truly
desire to do.
So if this is my girl and I'mwith her for five years and we
(24:29):
go to a Chris Brown concert andChris Brown calls her on stage
and he gives her the opportunityto come backstage and go on a
tour bus and stuff like that, byall means do you.
I would never stop you.
But you making that decisionshows me where I stand.
So you make the decision for me.
(24:51):
Essentially, you know what I'msaying.
That's my approach to life.
I respect that.
I respect that.
That's why I've been singleover 10 years.
I heard you.
I heard you.
I heard you For real.
Yeah, that's why I've beensingle over 10 years.
I can't secure a relationshipwith a female because I guess in
(25:13):
a sense, I'm too selfish.
These bitches be wanting you toput them above everything and
honestly, bitch not comingbefore this podcast, she not
coming before my daughter, shenot coming before my mom, she
not coming before my peace.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm making that very clear toanybody that I deal with.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
You do that in a relationship too, I make that
clear as well.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
That peace thing is big bro, that is huge man.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
How often do you find your lady disturbing your peace
?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Never.
I'm big on that, bro.
My whole thing is I talk to mybrother about this all the time.
I went through a period in mylife where I was thinking about
myself, when I was like, if Iwas to walk into a room, type,
shit, would I like me?
And I was like, damn, Iprobably wouldn't.
(26:11):
That's a good question.
So I had to really work onmyself.
These are the things that Ireally want to do.
Should I be acting this way?
Should I be responding thiskind of way?
So on and so forth.
And through that process Ifound my peace.
(26:33):
I found what makes me happy,what keeps me good, so I protect
that at all costs.
So it doesn't matter whetherit's like, if anyone's trying to
just interrupt my shit, take meout of that peaceful place, I
have to just squash that.
You got it, bro.
Like whether it's family,whether it's friends, it doesn't
(26:55):
matter who it may be.
You can be important to me.
But it's like, if you love me,if you want me to be good, you
want to fuck up my peace?
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Absolutely Talk to me , Ace.
I think that's probably thebiggest thing for me.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
It don't sound like there's no toxicity in y'all
relationships.
It sounds like everything islove and peace in y'all
relationships.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
It wasn't shit, it's not, it's not.
My relationship is definitelynot toxic, and I think it's one
of the relationships where, like, toxicity didn't happen you
know what I'm saying but itwasn't like detrimental to where
we were going to leave eachother.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just like you know, welive together, we've been
together.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
How long y'all been living together?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
It's about to be like a year, yeah, a year.
So y'all started dating.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Y'all were together for a year and then y'all moved
in.
Okay yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
It's like you're getting to know each other.
So it was like you don't seecertain shit as you don't like
certain behaviors or what.
You know what I'm saying.
So it was like my mom alwayssay this to me all the time.
She said when I first moved inwith my first big mom, she was
like you're going to finally getto see, say you think you know
somebody now you live with them.
You really going to get to knoweach other?
Oh, yeah, for sure.
(28:08):
But she always told me you maynot even like.
You may not even like themsometimes, but is this who you
choose to be with?
Is you really in the fight forthat?
Is it real?
That's how she always bring itup.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Yeah, my answers be no, I don't be willing to fight
for that shit, I'm not that.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I mean when you back to social you feel like you must
have went through something.
Oh yeah, for sure that meansyou.
That put you in that state,that have you like that for a
few years.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
My BM is like future nigga, so that happened.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
But it's like I feel like because, at the same time,
why you got to fight forsomething that's good anyway,
like why am I fighting?
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, like what there we?
Speaker 4 (28:48):

Anyway, happy talking to youfrom dang comparison guys.
Told to me that's why maybe Ishould.

Well, yeah, they are, it's,it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,it's.
It should be fun here All rightNow, here we go.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
I can change the tone a little bit.
Has there ever been a situationwith the kids her kids and your
kids where you had to choosesides or maybe, like you know,
break up a fight and scold yourkid because your kid was in the
wrong?
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
I was kind of I'm a big advocate for her.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
I don't shine, so you don't show no favoritism.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
No, it's.
It can't be.
It can't be.
That's not fair.
You're going to change all ofy'all the same.
Change all of y'all the same.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
So you don't think that your daughter would see it
like I'm your daughter?
Why am I getting treated thesame as him?
What?
Speaker 1 (40:10):
I mean the same as far as like how like I said, how
I treat my daughter, I'm goingto treat her kids like how I
treat mine.
It's like so.
It's not about love it'snothing but love.
So if I'm feeling to see in thesituation where you're wrong,
whether it's in my daughter ornot, I'm going to scold you too.
Like you know what I'm saying,I'm letting her know my, my, my
oldest, she's about to be 11next week and we can have she
(40:31):
knows, like you know what I'msaying.
Like she'll do certain things,or what day, huh.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
What number she's at 22nd.
Oh, the 22nd.
Why is it 26?
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Oh, word, what's that Both of what, aquarius, yeah,
I'm going to say.
You know she, I say certainthings.
We have a constant.
Like my oldest, our bond is isdifferent, like that's my baby,
that's my first, so I'm sayingso.
And, once again, like I raisedher, I always talk to her as a,
(41:01):
as a person, like how me and youtalk yeah, obviously not with
the language or stuff, but likehow baby, I never baby talk.
So her vocabulary that she gotolder was was on point, like
everything, every every year shegets to a month, like she
getting a war.
So she had her class withgrades.
You know what I'm saying.
So it just come from me, hermom, or you know there's us
(41:25):
teaching her stuff, or just theway I talk to her, like our bond
is crazy.
So she know if, if daddy got tosay something to you, I got to
scold you, you know that you waswrong.
It's I don't, I don't picksides.
You know what I'm saying.
But if my daughter is, is inthe right, yes, I'm going to
pick that side.
Yeah, and as a, you know, as mygirlfriend, she's going to do
(41:46):
the same shit as you should.
And even with that that don't,it's no bad blood with that.
It can't be.
Yeah, it can't be.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
That's, that's.
That's weird.
I mean, that sounds, thatsounds good on your end, because
it's not like that in everyhousehold, of course not, and
most households is not like thatwhere y'all could just uh,
uniting, unite, and there'd beno bad blood, like you know what
(42:16):
I'm saying.
Like, yeah, I could nameseveral situations I don't want
to get too deep into names oranything like that but just uh,
kids merging in the householdand you know, like step dads or
step moms picking sides andthings like that, even even that
(42:36):
creating conflict within therelationship between them two,
like so much happens, so muchconflict between them and the
relationship that, like kids endup having to leave, will be
rearranged and situated, youknow, and things like that.
So, with the kids that you dealwith, the five kids that you
deal with, they all range andages, yeah, are they, um, are
(43:02):
they teaching them about genderfluidity in school and stuff
like that?
Like, uh, if a boy in schoolfeels like he is a little girl,
the teachers encourage them.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
You are, you are a girl.
No, we don't care, we don'tcare.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
So y'all have a traditional household in terms
of the boys, or boys the girlsor girls.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
And like, for example , my girl, her, her, her kid's
father he's not really in thepicture like that, so she has
two boys.
So, like me, being in thehousehold is a little different.
Like I'm giving them structure,yeah, I'm giving them morals,
you know what I'm saying.
So there's certain things thatthey thought they can do before.
(43:55):
I'm not allowing that now, likeyou know what I'm saying, it's
not even allowing it, justshowing them different.
Like that's not right.
Yeah, you're not doing that.
Okay.
So they know what a man, what aman's man is.
I'm in the house, so you see it, he's in your face, so it was
me.
It mean, I don't see that everstrain any other way.
(44:15):
You know what I'm saying.
Like, as you, it's right here,you know what.
I'm saying and I'm open to talkto you about anything, ask me
anything and I always told him,I told him my girl when we first
got together, I'm like you know, I want to meet, even though
the his father, I'm gonna say Isay it's father, the father
piece of shit, it's just one ofhis pieces of shit.
You know what I'm saying?
(44:36):
He ain't even what are theyeven talking about?
Like he's just piece of shit.
Piece of shit, dude.
But I always told him like,regardless of who he is, I still
in the mean cause I'm beingaround his kids and that's
that's honorable, you have to.
You have to, cause I want thesame respect with mines.
That's honorable, you have to.
And I don't even care, like Isaid, I don't care what type of
(44:57):
nigga he is.
That's cool.
As long as you know who'saround your kids, A hundred
percent.
A hundred percent, regardlessof how you feel about her or
whatever you feel about me,cause you feel about her,
whatever the case may be, youknow your kids is in.
They ain't good hands.
You know what I'm saying.
They gotta stand up nigga inthe house, Like you know what
I'm saying.
They good, so we're we don'teven gotta be friends.
(45:18):
Yeah, I bet him he's a weirddude.
That's all I can say.
I don't want to.
I'm not a nigga that reallystand up trying to bash me, but
he know who he is.
You know what I'm saying and Iknow who he is.
It is what it is.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
Yeah, it'd be like that.
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (45:33):
It's like the father's like home.
I just don't respect Like andI'm like I said, let me get off
him Just father's in general,that move like that.
I don't respect that.
You know what I'm saying,especially boys.
What do you call him a deadbeat?
Definitely for sure.
What's a deadbeat?
A deadbeat is a person, is aman, I can't even say a man.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
Yeah, you can't say a man.
You can't say a man.
It's not limited to a sex.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
I say, I say I say a guy that you have kids.
You're not taking yourresponsibility as far as
mentally being there for them,emotionally being there for them
and financially being there forthem.
You're not available at all.
So you know what?
I'm saying You're not being,you're not available at all.
You're not, and for anything,they have going on and they like
(46:21):
they're absent.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
So if a nigga is there, if a nigga is there, he's
there.
He's there every day.
He's available mentally, he'savailable emotionally, he's
available to take the kidswhatever they gotta do, do stuff
like that, but he's notavailable financially because
he's broke.
Does that make him a bad dad?
Speaker 1 (46:38):
No, no, and the reason I said I'm saying when
I'm at financially is obviouslywhen you get to a certain point
in your life to where you'reokay financially to take care of
your kids, but you're workingtowards that, that's different,
yeah, but just cause you don'thave it at that point in the
time that I don't want to meetyou by the father Okay, cause
it's the times when I didn'thave it, yeah, and I keep it at
thousands.
It's the times when I didn'thave it.
(46:59):
But my daughter no, daddy wasthere I'm taking her every
weekend.
I'm doing when I do get money,I'm taking her out.
We going out to do somethingyeah, and I try my best to give
something.
I mean, I have been the best atfinancial sometimes.
Yeah, you know what I'm sayingand I'll be the first to say
that that don't make me a badfather.
Yeah, my baby mother know that.
Okay, she know what type offather and my daughter know what
(47:19):
type of dad I am.
You know what I'm saying.
Our bond is ridiculous, likethat's my baby, and then you got
two kids, so you got moneypooling from all the time.
Yeah, like I said I was going togo back to men.
Yeah, especially now,especially with another kid you
know what I'm saying.
Like my last baby.
Like it's like you said it doescome from service, but it's
(47:41):
manageable, like cause it's likeI said.
Prayer is another thing.
I pray all the time.
Like so I'm very spiritual to alot of shit.
You know what I'm saying.
Yeah, it get me through a lot.
You know what I'm saying.
And it's like it's a balance.
You know what I'm saying.
It's a mind state, it's amentality.
I got to get it and I got tostay right here.
(48:02):
I got to stay afloat.
You know what I'm saying.
Make the shit work If I falloff you know what I'm saying.
I'm gonna get back up and be allright.
You know what I'm saying.
But it ain't going to be just ahuge fall off because when I
was doing it right, the firsttime I was able to get to where
I was at.
You know what I'm saying.
It's like to pick back up.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
I think getting those businesses started and
generating some more incomewould definitely put you in a
better position in 2024.
Yeah, everything.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
So making the moves.
I'm real good now, but you knowI can't wait until I get right,
right, you know what I'm saying.
I'm saying that's what.
I care about.
I know this shit gonna be crazy.
It's not just, it's never justabout me, like it's never just
about me.
Of course I don't get right, butit's everyone I love that I
care about around me.
You know what I'm saying.
Even people I fuck with Anybody.
(48:51):
Like you say your podcast, likeyou got your own shit you first
told me about.
I was happy about that shit.
I didn't even know him.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm like, yeah, that's tough.
No, he definitely.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
You know what I'm saying he definitely was a
supporter from day one.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
I was waiting for mine to be.
I'm like I'm gonna get one.
I had to wait, you know whatI'm saying.
I see him all the time.

everything.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
