Speaker 1 (00:00):
Things that we need to be successful, the support that
we want in our lives. It needs to be the
support that we push back outleve die die die Die
die die. All right, Uh, this is the Angry Dad.

(00:21):
Thank you guys for tuning in. I appreciate it. And
before we get today started, I'd like to think my
podcast sponsors every Day Fit Life. Look, if you're trying
to set yourself up for success, if you're trying to
do something that you feel is impossible, what I'm talking
about is controlling your eating, controlling what you put in
your mouth. Because, like, here's the thing, discipline. Self discipline

(00:45):
is hard as fuck. But if you have something that
can step by step guide you in the direction of
setting up healthy habits, the right amount of food, the
kind of food you like to eat, and just putting
it in an order, that can help you set yourself
up for success. They have plans for thirty days, which
thirty days, day by day will help you set up

(01:07):
how to eat, when to eat, the things to use
to put yourself in the path to success. For diet,
for control, because this is a lifestyle change. Once you
learn this and you use this, this is just not
a I do the program and then I stop. It's like, no,
this is to set you up for a lifetime, something
that's going to help change you forever. And if you

(01:29):
need thirty days of help, sixty days of help, ninety
days of help, guess the fuck what it is there?
That is every Day Fit Life. Each plan comes with
a workout that correlates with each option. So make sure
you check it out. That is every Day Fit Life.

percent off all that good stuff. The link is in
the notes. Please check it out. Let's get in today's show.

(01:51):
You know, you know, this week was very very eye
opening for me. All right. You know a lot of
times we need to understand that being there for the
people that you love is important. You know, we all
are on a grind. We're all on this path of
trying to change ourselves, grow ourselves and become something better.

(02:15):
But also too, we have to be aware of our surroundings.
We have to be aware of the people that are
in our lives, you know, because a lot of times
too we get so focused and what we do we
just start ignoring our family, our kids, our friends, you know,
the dogs, whatever. But the thing is to have your
eyes open, have your heart open, have your ears open.

(02:36):
You know what I'm saying. The things that we need
to be successful, the support that we want in our lives.
It needs to be the support that we push back out.
And like I said, not everybody deserves the same support.
But those you care for need to understand that you're there,
that you love them, that you communicate that you that
you're the pillar in your situation, in your family, in

(03:00):
the environment, that you are all right being that pillar,
that that fucking focus. You know what I'm saying. It's
a lot to bear, but as a man, as a
father right here, I do bear it. I never want
to pass on stress. I never want to pass on anxiety.
I never want to pass on worry. But the thing
is is it does show I do communicate my problems.

(03:23):
I do communicate my issues. I do communicate my feelings
to my family. And that's something that I had to
learn to do because a lot of times I just
held it in and then I'd blow up. Now I
just speak my mind. I let them know that I
love them. Everything I say is out of love, and
like I said, I never meant mean to hurt their
feelings or any of that stuff. But I will always

(03:43):
be honest. I will always be straightforward and that's just
who I am. And that's the thing. Having that in
your life can let a lot of stress off of you.
And then at the same time, when your family members,
your love once, your wife, your kids, your you know whatever,
when they're going through their situation, when they're going through
a life altering thing, guess what, it's time to step up.

(04:07):
It's time to stand up. It's time to be that pillar,
the shoulder that they can cry on, the shoulder that
they can hold, the person that they can grab onto
to make the world feel fucking safe, because that's the
person that they deserve. When they are there for you,
you have to return it. When the support is there,
when things are lined up. And like I said, life

(04:29):
isn't always easy, Life isn't always fair, life isn't always
what you want it to be. But for those who
care for you, stand up for you, shield them, you
block them, you give that sense of safe space. That
sense of safe space is vitally important. But like I said,
they always say a man is the king of the castle. Well,

(04:51):
it's the king of the castle that has to protect
that castle has to protect that safe space, that has
to build that environment. You know what I'm saying. When
my kids come home, when my wife is home, when
people are in my house, they all understand that they're
all under my wing. That they all have this sense

(05:13):
of relief. That's this sense of ease that comes on
because when you're here, it is safe, everything is open,
everything is there all right. We all want that. We
all want to culture that. You know what I'm saying,
a lot of us have never had that feeling. But
the thing is is when you want that feeling, when

(05:33):
you want to fucking protect that feeling, when you want
to develop that feeling, guess the fuck what. It all
starts with you. It starts with your attitude, It starts
with your your mental health, It starts with your well being.
It starts with a desire to have something that you
either never had or something that you want to protect.
Like I said, I try to create this space within

(05:54):
my family wherever we are. Like I said, I say
this because guess what, the support that I need, I
always make sure that I'm giving that support to those
who are in need. And that's my family, that's my level,
and that's everyone that's within my circle. Like I said,
I do extend it to those who are slightly outside

(06:14):
of my circle. But that's as far as it fucking goes.
Like I said, I have friends, I have, you know,
people that that I consider part of my family. They're
just not in my household. And it's the same fucking thing.
The support that they give me is the support that
I'll give them. But when it comes to that inner circle,
guess what my support is unwavering. It's un you know.
That doesn't even have to be mentioned. But I do

(06:36):
mention it, I do speak it. I do let it
be known that here you're okay. Here you are safe,
Here you are loved. There is no fucking questions to ask,
There is no fucking doubt in the mind. There is
there is something here that will always be here for you.
And it's because I love you, I care for you,

(06:58):
and I'll always be here for you. All Right. It's
not my job to judge you, it's not my job
to question you. But guess what I will do. I
will let you know because of how much I love
I have for you, I am here. Like I said,
a lot of this I grew up not hearing it.

(07:18):
But I've always felt it, And because I always felt it,
I was in a relationship, not a relationship, but I
was in you know, within my family dynamic growing up
that you know, it's unsaid because it doesn't need to
be said. I guess the fuck what I needed to
hear it. I would have liked to feel it, you
know what I'm saying. It probably would have changed my
life in a capacity where I can communicate these feelings

(07:43):
without feeling awkward, without feeling off, without feeling you know,
like weak, because sharing these feelings and sharing these motions
are not weak. They are powerful, all right. They hold weight.
This is the foundation that your family and your life
is built upon. And every time you say it, you

(08:03):
reinforce it. And when you reinforce it, it becomes that
much more stronger. I learned this in my older age.
I wish I would have learned it at my younger age.
That's why I'm speaking about this, why that's why I'm
talking about this, because this is the fundamental foundation of
what family needs to be, an open communication of understanding

(08:25):
that real power, real strength come from these words when
we say them. A lot of times, we see a
lot of people nowadays say them flippingly, all right, It
just it doesn't mean a thing. But the thing is
that I only say it to those that I fucking
care about, and because I care about them, I fucking
say it, and I say it with power in my voice,

(08:46):
with base in my voice, because I love my family
and I want them to understand that. I want them
to know that, and I want them to feel that.
I want them to have this sense of safety that
comes with that. All Right, it doesn't matter what the
problem is, It doesn't matter what the situation is. My family,
my kids, my wife. They will come to me because

(09:08):
they know how much I love them and what I'm
willing to do for them. All right. This is something that,
like I said, I wish I would have learned the
younger age, because I would have said this earlier in
their lives, you know what I'm saying. I didn't start
saying this until they were almost teenagers because I didn't
know how to communicate this. I was always stuck in
this old man mentality of fucking stoic, fucking quiet. You know,

(09:33):
no one, I'm mean, I'm fucking upset, but I'm here.
My love for you is unspoken. But the thing is
being unspoken. They don't know, they don't understand. It's not
till they get older that they get it. And I
don't want my kids to get it when they're older.
I want to get it now. I want to get it.
I want them to get it while they're young. I
want them to know that I'm there for them and

(09:57):
that this is the amount of love that I have
form And guess what, there's no amount. It's unlimited. But
I want them to understand it. You know what I'm saying.
There's a difference speaking out loud manifest it. You know
what I'm saying, a lot of times we just think it,

(10:19):
but you speak it into reality. And by speaking into reality,
it gives it this solidification of fucking like this is
a real thing. And because it's a real thing, it's tangible,
and because it's tangible, they can grab it, they can
hold on to it, they can fucking recall memories of it.
It's just all about building this relationship between the family

(10:43):
that's slightly different than what we always remember it being.
Like I said, I always knew all my family members
loved me, cared for me. But the thing is, we
just didn't say it. We didn't fucking you know. It
was something that was just unspoken and I didn't like that.
And because I didn't like that, I didn't really understand it.

(11:03):
I just knew it was there and it just had
a certain amount of uncertainty to it. And like I said,
it made me feel weird. It made me feel awkward.
It made me feel that I can't express my emotions
and my feelings because we're not supposed to. But guess what,
for good mental health, for fucking you know, for the
fuck's sakes of trying to feel good about yourself, you
need to say. You need to speak it, You need

(11:25):
to fucking use it, and use it in a way
that helps you. It's all about getting your point across.
And the more you can get your point across, the
more honest you can be with yourself and for those
that you love. That's just it creates something that you
didn't know you needed. That's just my thoughts on it,
you know what I'm saying. Like I said, this is

(11:46):
all stuff that I've been through, all stuff that I
think about, all stuff that just comes through my mind
because I've had this happen to me and I've gone
through this, and you know what I'm saying. My age,
My kids are all of age where I'm just like,
do they really know that I love them? Even though
that we've gone through all this crazy shit that's gone
on in our lives. So I use it, I say it,

(12:08):
I speak it, and I tell them I love them.
You know what I'm saying. I want you guys to
use this information. I want you guys to fucking start
saying these fucking words. Don't feel like a pussy about it,
don't feel fucking sweet, don't feel fucking stupid. Understand that
you need to fucking say it. Because the more you
get it off, the more you get it across, the
more you use it, the easier it is, the less

(12:30):
awkward it is, the better it is. You know what
I'm saying. Who doesn't want to hear I love you?
Who doesn't want to hear that I care for you?
Who doesn't want to hear that I'm here for you?
All right? It's all safety that we're trying to culture
in our lives. You know what I'm saying. There's always
been this time in my life where I'm like, I
need this. I need someone to comfort me, I need

(12:50):
someone to hold me. I need someone that's gonna give
me that safe space. Everything's gonna be all right. It
was always something that I was missing in my life,
and because I was missing it, I didn't know how
to communicate it. Because I didn't know how to communicate it.
Guess the fuck what. I just started creating it myself
by saying these words, by communicating these words, these words

(13:15):
of power, these words of strength, these words of foundation,
the ones that I love, the ones that I care about,
Guess the fuck what. They understand what I feel, I think,
and I have for them. And that's how you change
the fucking world. That's how you change your fucking life.
That's how you make a pivot that you didn't know

(13:37):
you needed. So guess the fuck what, this dangry motherfucking dad.
