Speaker 2:Again, again, again, again, again, again. What new traditions have you guys started to accommodate different family structures Like as far as tradition, so what, as you've gotten a family? Well, old and new, older and new, you're saying, we get two older ones too.
Speaker 3:Okay we used to go buy a Christmas tree every year, but this past year I stopped that shit. We bought a fake tree do you have a date? You put it up well you know, when the money wasn't funny, I always tell her after Thanksgiving dope idea put the tree out in the back and then have them bring it in every like.
Speaker 3:It's something new every year, but it's the same fucking tree fake tree, yeah, but they go pick it up from the back like, look guys, we do this every year um, my rules always match thanksgiving, like I don't want to see no tree in my house, so the day out, like you, the day after or the sunday after, but before thanksgiving I don't want to see no tree in my house. The day after or the Sunday after, but before Thanksgiving I don't want to see no tree. I don't want to see no holly and no Christmas shit.
Speaker 2:Well, this year was Christmas. No, mariah.
Speaker 3:No, mariah. Well, I mean pictures of young Mariah. Yes, that takes me back too much. How did, but you know, so we're not doing that, no more.
Speaker 2:Which part more um which?
Speaker 1:part.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was buying the tree um the moriah what we we had got into the family movie slash, a game night at least once a month thing. We then we kind of the schedules kind of got busy, so now we're trying to make time for that again because she likes that. So and um, I'm just trying to take my wife on more dates.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to do the traveling thing Like it don't even have to be nowhere, like we can go to Big Bear, like just to go do something.
Speaker 3:That's too many people.
Speaker 1:Too many people, yeah my family.
Speaker 2:There's got to be a soul there.
Speaker 3:Not just him and the wife. Just look at them like like, hey, I'll send you pictures.
Speaker 2:I can see that happening, like you talk about, like this family getaway this whole time, and you're like, oh no, it was just us two.
Speaker 1:Yeah oh, we haven't told Val about the concert yet, because she was talking about the other day. I was like I really would like to go see it and I was like me and your mom, bro, and we chose to not get you a ticket.
Speaker 2:That's cold.
Speaker 1:I mean it's us, it's anniversary time.
Speaker 3:It's not cold. It's our anniversary. It's the motherfuckers that make the money get to go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we ain't missing school on our daughter, yeah shit that's still a dope thing to tell your friends.
Speaker 3:I told our daughter, cause she, her whole thing is she wants to catch a plane, right, and I said well, you know, maybe we can go to, you know, disney in Hawaii if you act right. Well, mommy and daddy, we're gonna go regardless, we'll just leave you a granny, we're gonna go we're gonna go I do think I want to try to implement that later on in life?
Speaker 1:because I was talking to a dude at work, uh, he was telling me, uh, I was telling him talking about christmas and he was uh telling me about how his parents go every year and he was like, yeah, they stopped taking us places. Like at some point they were like hey, me and your mom is going out, like don't know what y'all going to do bro.
Speaker 3:I will tell you one thing we were starting this year is that we were not buying no more, no more birthday gifts. So we're not doing birthday gifts no more. Instead of birthday gifts, we're going to, we are going to take the family trip.
Speaker 3:So, we'll take her somewhere instead of doing the whole birthday party. Honestly, let's be real. These goddamn kids are spoiled. They don't need nothing else, and I think her Christmas list this year proved to me that she really don't need nothing, because she couldn't think of anything she really wanted. So Just take trips now.
Speaker 2:Did you hear that?
Speaker 1:Spoiled all of them, all of them. Yeah, I'm like trying to take these kids on trips and they don't they don't appreciate oh my god, they are spoiled. We went to a hotel and kindle had the nerve to be like this room only has one room and I was like who the fuck? Who you been staying?
Speaker 3:with this room only has one room and I was like who the fuck?
Speaker 2:Who you been staying with. Told you about C-Road.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they don't appreciate shit. No, this is the cold part. So y'all know, last year when we went to my sister's house, or year four last, and we ran into a car, so she was like I just wish we can get a new car Like the one we took to Titi's house our year four last, and we ran and ran into a car. So she was like I just wish we can get a new car like the one we took to Titi's house. Like our cars are so old, like, and I'm looking there like, but they're paid for. You don't understand the fact that they're paid, but we need something new. No, we don't. Yeah, no, no, we don't. I was like yeah, no, no, we don't. I said you, little bougie ass, you don't sit your ass down yeah, maybe I should rethink the tradition I'm trying to.
Speaker 1:We going down the street right and uh plates to homeless. That's what I told the wife.
Speaker 3:I said I do want to take her to Hawaii. I said, but if we start off with Hawaii, the bar is too high. I said let's just take her down to San Diego for a weekend, like let's build a road, let's start with car rides, and then if you do Hawaii, your next one is like Rome, italy and shit yeah let's go to Texas.
Speaker 1:Sorry, that's the tradition.
Speaker 3:I think I've been implementing that's incredible yeah, here's the cool part about that. So a couple weeks ago or last month, when it was my niece's birthday, they were taking my niece it uh, my sister-in-law took her to um john the credible and so I was like you want to go? I said no, I'm not gonna pay to go to john the incredible when I'm not going to eat anything. I said I'm not gonna give them 17 just to watch my child because I'm not gonna eat, because I'm I'm on my health. I'm not going to give them $17 just to watch my child because I'm not going to eat it, because I'm on my health kick. I'm not going to eat these pizzas and I ain't going to eat these goddamn tenders. I'm not going to waste my money. Now, if I could just walk in and just pay for the games, that's different, but I'm not going to pay for a meal that I'm not going to eat just to get inside.
Speaker 2:No, Where's busters it is, I'll go there one time it's gonna kiss my ass.
Speaker 3:It's a little farther more expensive.
Speaker 2:We're just playing games uh, I try to do the the the lights thing, uh, taking them out for the holidays, for Christmas, like when we took them to the place in Marietta that was dope.
Speaker 3:I saw that on Instagram. It was free that's the dope part it was.
Speaker 2:They showed out at that house, shout out to that family. They showed out in that house. I believe it was like an older couple's kids that were already growing up. That was their way of kind of like giving back. But like the line we were in the front row, the first people that went in. But like the line I said, damn, you got a whole fucking and they were take, they would accept donations, but it was free and they had hot cocoa and you could have pictures with santa and but stuff like that is like yeah, I try to look for things like that where I can sit, take them to see lights. But what pissed me off about this was when we first got there. They were like this is a surprise.
Speaker 2:I said you little bougie motherfuckers and I was like you ain't even went in yet. But this is a surprise. I thought we're gonna actually go somewhere.
Speaker 3:I said I I want to say you know what you be having Christmas in Bellingham Bay.
Speaker 2:Fuck with me. So what was so funny is that it instantly changed when we went in and they got to go down there.
Speaker 2:They had two slides, and then they had this little tunnel with fake snow it was, so they got to run through that. That shit changed your whole perspective and outlook on it. Now they love it and they're like, oh my God, let's go through that again. And you're like so you want to get sprayed with soap. Motherfuckers that avoid baths and shit want to get sprayed with soap willingly because, oh my God, it's like snow.
Speaker 3:I don't know why kids don't like washing their ass, but it's just interesting.
Speaker 2:But, yeah, stuff like that Even like Sarah John's incredible. Andreas loves John's incredible He'll pick that over. Fucking. He wouldn't do that over SeaWorld at all. Like shit. See, that's a win. Yeah. But like those traditions, like stuff like that where they get so used to certain things they just want to be able to continue to do that. So let's do that every year. Yeah, I think those are dope and I like to take them out to see the light. Same thing with Halloween I like to take them out trick or treating, but I also like to go and look at the decorations that people put up.
Speaker 3:And I want to get her that Disney pass, cause she's asked to go back to Disneyland three times already Fuck.
Speaker 1:Disney. Sonza, you need to quit your job and go start working at Disney.
Speaker 2:Because, yeah, you're getting free that way. You need a Disney family.
Speaker 3:Sell the passes.
Speaker 1:Well, no, you can't.
Speaker 2:But I would prefer California Adventure over Disneyland.
Speaker 3:Most definitely. I'm going to drop her in my mom's office. I'm going to go to California Adventure by myself it had a better energy.
Speaker 2:It was more spaced out it's more for me yeah.
Speaker 3:That's more for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think I was blown in there. It was over by cars or something. Whatever that space is that has the sky, that looks real. I thought that was real at the time.
Speaker 3:He's talking about over by guardians. Wow, I was like damn, it was just cloudy. And then I was like, oh, come on over by guardians, before you hit the corner.
Speaker 1:Wow, I was like damn, it was just cloudy and then I was like, oh, come on.
Speaker 2:What did you smoke? How much did you smoke?
Speaker 1:No, just you know, keep it classy. I just kept it classy the whole day, Edibles.
Speaker 2:Nah.
Speaker 1:Well, that end. Ah shit, it's the gummy bear all over again. Now you just put it in your shoe, just walk in they don't check you like that.
Speaker 3:They ain't checking shit.
Speaker 1:They checking what you're leaving with, ain't yeah, I just make it sure so they don't be like, hey man, is that weed? Like yeah, yeah, it's the happiest place on earth.
Speaker 2:Did you say tradition?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, we've been trying to travel and shit.
Speaker 2:How do you blend traditions from both?
Speaker 3:families during the holidays. What do you mean? Both families? We're one family.
Speaker 2:You mean your traditions and your wife's traditions.
Speaker 1:I'm the head of this family. Okay, um kevin, I'm such a no, let him sit in there. Let him sit in there I'm not really.
Speaker 3:I'm not really a festive person, so we just do whatever she want to do. Anyway, I'm not I'm.
Speaker 2:I've never been that way, I'm never say Bahambot.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I've never. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1:But do traditions have to be holidays?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean for Christmas. I'd rather just stay home and watch football.
Speaker 1:I mean, that could be a tradition too. Football Sundays.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but I have a family with a daughter, so she's like I do that.
Speaker 1:You could sit down and teach her how to smoke some meats no, don't touch my grill you know everything about.
Speaker 2:They have the fucking um the potluck where they have. They have the giveaway shit. There was a bunch of drivers when I walked up I was like, oh, it's the potluck today. I was all right and you know how they have the like the giveaways when you buy the tickets. They had a smoker there, right motherfuckers was inspecting that smoke. The same. I want my motherfucking tickets back. And they were all fucking entitled about this shit. They were like look at this shit, this is bullshit. I want this bullshit. And I said, damn, these niggas are really entitled.
Speaker 2:But they were right, that shit was used. That was not a. But they inspect the shed, that fucking smoke.
Speaker 3:It can be used as long as it's working and you clean it for you. Give it to me. Yeah, it was free. Yeah, it's free.
Speaker 2:Come on man, oh I mean you had to pay for the. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Pay for delivery.
Speaker 2:No, the fucking uh. The ticket the ticket.
Speaker 3:You had to figure out a way to get that shit home In the back of the wall.
Speaker 2:Put me in one of those generic ass legs, I'll be right back. I'll be right back. What else?
Speaker 3:about tradition we'll blend in, we just do things together.
Speaker 1:We do like with the families when I go holidays and stuff. The way they do christmas over at her family's house is different than what we do and I'm just like I would imagine, yeah, yeah, well with her. She grew up just like them.
Speaker 2:Why would you? Imagine?
Speaker 1:the obvious reason well, I mean, I know some white people that have the chaos when they pull the presents and all that stuff, like we got a lot of cousins, so it's like we ain't doing the youngest, the oldest and all that, but they do all that. I'm just like, all right, I just youngest, oldest yeah, so how many kids is it? I'm not waiting no, no with them, it's only them three.
Speaker 2:So it was them three growing up, so it's not that long I'll say we're the only ones that had kids in that household.
Speaker 3:Oh, they always go first.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. But now at the household we have implemented with, I'm all into the chaos. Just I don't feel like making nobody wait, just go do it. So she's with that food. Sometimes there's some foods that I like the whites, the black whites the cheese peas little goulash. I'm a fan of the goulash disgusting I don't know if that's a tradition.
Speaker 3:I guess that is a tradition.
Speaker 1:Like the food, comfort food. Why you can't take my black card? They've been trying To take the card.
Speaker 1:Yes, I've had white people try to take my card. Like you ain't black and I'm like bitch. And then creating our own like from both families and like kind of doing something they've done like both of our families, but like picking a different spot, or something like every fourth of july I think we used to go out to a park out here with her family. That was a tradition for a while, till we all moved here, but now we all go for like Memorial Day to San Diego. We want to pick the same beach. So it's like always having like.
Speaker 1:That's dope Like it's pretty fun so.
Speaker 3:I mean what we used to do, we used to my family. When I still have more family out here, we would just, we would split, so like if we do Thanksgiving with my family, we do Christmas with hers, and then next year we'd flop it. You know like, okay, now we, that's how we normally do it.
Speaker 1:No, Thanksgiving is all in one.
Speaker 3:That's crazy and diabolical. I have to split time between two 200 in one house. You go yeah, you go to two houses. That's wild.
Speaker 2:On Thanksgiving, and then I look forward to Christmas.
Speaker 3:Why.
Speaker 2:Because her family celebrates Christmas Eve. Oh, yeah, and we celebrate Christmas Day, so I don't have to do. That's perfect.
Speaker 3:So okay.
Speaker 2:So it's like Christmas Eve. I'm just over there and I'm like cool, so it's like Christmas Eve, I'm just over there and I'm like cool, I ain't got no obligations, no, whatever. Once we're done, we go home. And then on Christmas Day my sister, you know, being on nigga time, we tend to start things later in the day and I get to just sleep in and stuff like that. So it works out in my favor I get rest.
Speaker 3:I get to eat, you know. So my daughter's not the only one.
Speaker 2:She's not an early riser on christmas yeah, we call it nigga time, so um it'd be.
Speaker 3:It'd be 9 30. We're speaking. She's still asleep still asleep?
Speaker 2:yeah, it's over for about noon I wish I'm the only early, early person in my household. Everybody else is on Nick of Time cause I was.
Speaker 3:I was sorry, I was mad on Christmas. The gym was closed. I was like but I'm up, they sleep, why can't, why can't I be here?
Speaker 2:that's why I fuck with my gym is they stay open, but on holidays it's restricted time, so it's like they're open from this till until two or something like that. It's like but if you get in there early you can get it, but after this time we close. So at least they give you a chance. And every year Thanksgiving they have a 5K run and I get a shirt every year and they go. So you gonna run? No, I just get the shirt. It's a free shirt.
Speaker 3:You got a collection.
Speaker 2:I do. This is year number two.
Speaker 1:I was gonna say you look like you ran a marathon, you took a step.
Speaker 2:I took a step into the gym, into the equipment. You should start using them as your workout shirts yeah. I said I'm gonna use them. But if they think ever that I'm running an F5K, you got me fucked up. I might do a pace of walking but I'm not running, use them. But if they think ever that I'm running an F5K, you got me fucked up. I might do a pace of walking but I'm not running that motherfucking. Nah, you could make it, huh, you could make it Home.
Speaker 1:You'd be like right to the car.
Speaker 2:Fuck that Shit. They be out there fucking early as fuck. I remember I walked in that motherfucker. I was like what the hell? And they took a picture. They're like gonna get in it, no, I'm good. Um, and then I walk right in. I said so you guys got those shirts. Yeah, we still have the shirts, I'll take one. They're free, right? Yeah, he looked at me like this nigga here, this is a black dude that works the counter. He looked at me like yeah, they're free. Like look at this nigga here.
Speaker 3:Like yeah, I'm here for the free shirt it's free, right?
Speaker 2:yeah, okay, I'll take it. So, um, yeah, we do the, the, the thanksgiving both days, which is thanksgiving, is horrible for me because I end up two hours and it wears me thin.
Speaker 2:Uh, christmas is usually better because in the christmas eve I one place and I get to just enjoy and eat and whatever. And I said, since we're on nigga time, christmas Day is the day that I get to just kind of hang out with the family. I will say the first couple years were hard after my dad passed, because I would always look over it, because he always has his go-to place to sit at my sister's house, and every time I walk in I look over and that realization is he's not there anymore. It kind of fucks with you a little bit, but you don't realize what you get used to until it's not there anymore. And then I normally do things too like in the beginning of the year I don't know if I'm doing it this year we tend to go to San Diego. We'll just go to Coronado and we'll just chill out at Coronado and then we'll go get something to eat, whether it be hoedads or one of my other favorite places in the world Hash House of Go-Go.
Speaker 3:Hash House of Go-Go.
Speaker 2:That's a good spot I need to go Wild boar chili quiles fire shit.
Speaker 1:Fuck this, that city the whole city.
Speaker 3:Huh, hey see you coming?
Speaker 1:yeah, they saw us. They said get the fuck out.
Speaker 2:Nah, they stalked the bar oh, okay it was gonna be a good night tonight are you talking about when you're in the service? Oh yeah, the Coronado was my second home base and we'd just be there. So you ever hear all the Navy jokes.
Speaker 1:Oh sure, yeah, of course. One dude told me I need to get my ass kicked. There's an old dude and I was like, well, that's weird.
Speaker 2:So it was a bar full of semen.
Speaker 3:Oh, oh they had some Marines. I will say that the San Diego Dave and Busters is my favorite one because it's always packed with Marines and seamen, it's a fireman.
Speaker 1:Thank you very much, fireman. So I was going to say something, but it it was like that doesn't even help my case so I just know, every time I've been to that one in particular, it's been a great night fights fights to see.
Speaker 3:Uh, one time, literally it was like four navy seals playing that. That. What's that? Like time crisis, like literally they were on time crisis for like three hours.
Speaker 1:They got lost and they thought it was simulated.
Speaker 2:So you're saying in these fights where a bunch of seamen being thrown around, yes, now, seamen usually beat up the Marines.
Speaker 1:Don't let them fool you. They say what they want.
Speaker 3:But it's just a good time and they get drunk and shit.
Speaker 2:They get punched and they get a face full of seamen.
Speaker 3:I just remember walking in and saying everybody in this motherfucking can fight.
Speaker 1:I'm not fighting nobody oh man, they can't, they can't. It's weird. I just never forget. We got in a fight with some people on the same boat and I was like we gotta see these people, we gotta see each other. We just fought in the street in San Diego. I couldn't hit that.
Speaker 2:Seaman on seaman crime. I was a fireman.
Speaker 1:I was a fireman.
Speaker 2:You were a fireman. Yeah, yeah, word.
Speaker 1:Y'all going to let it go?
Speaker 2:No, See Seaman the hose, yeah the hose, yeah it. The hose, yeah the hose. It has a bunch of semen in it.
Speaker 1:Good, we can work on a hose yeah hose can work semen too fuck.
Speaker 2:What are the roles? What role do you think communication plays in managing the holiday expectations?
Speaker 1:holiday expectations. That's when you gotta be out front on holidays yes, hey, don't tell me no shit last minute.
Speaker 1:What do you want to do? Like no, no, no, no, no, let's for real. For real, now we can do whatever like that ain't gonna work, because when it gets to that day, I don't understand what it is with holidays, but it seems like it's trigger mode, where everything you're like well, what you're like you're too high strung. We could have planned this out a minute, because that's what I noticed any little blip in the, the expectation in their head, without telling us what the expectation is just.
Speaker 1:It's like how the fuck was I supposed to know?
Speaker 3:I think this is what you want. That's true. I pray every holiday. I try to. In matter of fact, I probably do that after we leave here. Okay, so where are we going for 4th of July? Where are we going for this? Because I don't want no surprises.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Fuck, I forgot about fucking. Yeah, I want to be right here Before July. Mm-hmm, I might be here too.
Speaker 2:I'm not I don't know why that just popped in my head. What the fuck I was thinking about, ted?
Speaker 3:Ted 2. Oh.
Speaker 2:Where he was when he saw the guy from Flash Gordon and he was asking him if he could use his semen to to get pregnant.
Speaker 1:He said no, I got one semen and I'm gonna focus.
Speaker 2:Having a I am legend in my ball sack, I said, god damn it. Like that's awful fuck anyway, alright, fuck. I just know I tend to get into shit when it comes to um, the expectation of me during the holidays because it's a lot of expectation and responsibility on me to get us there, so like it never seems to be commonly addressed like a so how long are we spending over here to over there? Like you know, do take in consideration of where I'm coming from as far as work, like time and effort. So it's like those expectations is like please just be considerate of my time because, like this does follow me, like I have to get us home safely back and forth and I don't want to be half sleep on the road Cause you know you guys can be considerate of the time that it takes to do this shit.
Speaker 3:I just started sleeping wherever I'm at.
Speaker 2:Nah.
Speaker 3:I just they got three dogs. You said they don't bite you.
Speaker 2:Huh, bite me snuff me for like food or something I don't know press charges, you say snuff yeah, I'm. I'm popular because I, if I don't like something, I'll the dog, yeah, the dog, that's the homie right there you could get out they'd be like my nigga, oh andy's here, oh my god, you're about to eat the night like, because if I see some suspect, I'm, I'm, I don't. I don't try to try it, I don't try to figure it out, I'll be like he's gonna do it for me.
Speaker 2:Suspect stuff now like they should have it, no I mean, yeah, when certain people decide to venture out and try some shit, you'd be like oh, you decided, you don't never. You tried this year, okay for the first time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that seems like the bad time. They didn't have a couple practice rounds at home first. That's oh okay, oh, wow, yeah, you're supposed to all right now the parents have their set.
Speaker 2:But you know, when you have kids that come and say I decided to try this this year, you're like oh, you did it people think I'll be look here, I, I can get you, because it's like I don't eat.
Speaker 3:I only eat potato salad from three people and one of those person, people or one of those persons are no longer with us. So there's only two people on this earth that's living, that I eat their potato salad and people be getting they feel, oh, that's good it might be to you. I'm not going to try it because you're going to piss me off. And now I got to throw the whole plate in the trash, or I got to do the nice thing and just fold the plate in half and cover it.
Speaker 1:Y'all stuff it down a little bit.
Speaker 2:Nah, are you leaving that right at the open so you can see what happened?
Speaker 3:Because, I've had it open slow Because I've had it happen to me. Oh no, no, no, because I bet we went to back in November. We went to back in November. We went to a Friends of Giving last year and I walked in there I said shit, I guess I'm not eating at night damn. I said yeah.
Speaker 2:Did you say that openly?
Speaker 3:No, I said to myself. I said, um, I'll take, give me a piece of the breast of the turkey, cause that looks done. The whole turkey don't look done, but that breast part that's cooked.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that sucks.
Speaker 2:So give me a piece of the breast. I kind of feel like you should have said that openly.
Speaker 3:No, and then I ate breast and I ate tamale all night.
Speaker 2:That was a tamale, that was good.
Speaker 1:At least you know you got that. Sometimes I eat nasty food, but I just eat it really fast.
Speaker 2:I'm afraid to eat nasty food because it might come out nasty too, Right the way my stomach is built.
Speaker 3:I don't take no chances because I will be home quick.
Speaker 1:Chucking or shitting Both Either.
Speaker 2:Both.
Speaker 1:You don't want them at the same time I don't take no See now if Maybe I'm wrong for this, but if your food puts me in that position, I'm lighting your bathroom up.
Speaker 2:I'm going to use all your nice towels, too him up. I'm gonna use all your nice towels too, just so you can remind never to do this shit again I was here.
Speaker 3:You'd be like a long cane paulie where I had to use a loofah nigga I was.
Speaker 1:I'm not gonna lie, sorry I'm going down this road, but at work last night, nigga, I couldn't even blame nobody Like I went and did my thing, came back like 20, 30 minutes later and I was like damn Damn good thing nobody said that. Oh shit, that's the perks of the building alone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sorry yeah, you ever apologize for putting somebody through that no, never you did it.
Speaker 1:You should have, I done it once you shouldn't have served the food no, it wasn't even their fault, because I just went in there.
Speaker 1:It's greg's house. I went to greg's house. I didn't even shit, I just farted. I just farted in the back of his house and his dad was like what the fuck? He was all in the front room like what the fuck is it? I started to smell it and I was like ooh, god damn, I thought something died inside me. But the whole house was like I got to go in the garage. I was like I'm sorry, I'll just go home. Yeah, I don't know what that was it was bad, it was bad.
Speaker 1:Holy shit, it was bad, holy shit. So effective communication.
Speaker 2:Fuck okay.
Speaker 3:Just read the next question.
Speaker 2:Do you share a memorable experience that shapes your holiday tradition?
Speaker 3:Nothing. It don't shape my no more. I mean so. Growing up I used to always every Christmas morning. My y'all know I was raised by really religious folks, so we're always seeing rise, shine. Give God the glory To this day. Every Christmas morning I sing that to myself in my head, first thing I do. I always think about her One because her birthday was Christmas Eve, so I'm always thinking about her. That's the first thing I would hear her say Every Christmas morning. I can still hear her voice in my head, so I sing it to my. I don't sing it to my family, I sing it to myself. So that's probably the one thing I keep. Okay, that's good.
Speaker 1:You triggered me, I'm sorry. Amanda sings that every goddamn morning, every time she calls her sister. I'm just like. I'm like all right, all right, all right all right.
Speaker 3:We know you love.
Speaker 1:Jesus, come get it Shit. I'm trying to think. I think what shaped it? We don't do it the same day, but growing up we used to buy a tree like a real tree on my mom's birthday every year. But so now, like we, just buy a tree sometime after Thanksgiving. We try not to do it that way, probably going to start doing it the day before Christmas, but like that's, I think what's come with me is just the real tree over the years.
Speaker 1:I might be coming to your guys's side soon, but it's still I don't know. I just grown up my whole life like that, so I think that's just. Are you gonna embed it? Take it outside plan.
Speaker 2:It bring it, bring it up back in, make them like, feel like an experience. No, we're gonna just go to home depot every year I just use the same tree and just leave it outside.
Speaker 3:But hey, let's go pick the tree out did you know that you can um after the pumpkin patch, that they they turn into the tree picking thing? You can go get your tree they cut down.
Speaker 1:You gotta cut it down. Have you done that? No have you been to one of those places? Don't buy tree I'm not like we went to one out here and I was like, oh yeah, these like buy local. And then I looked and I was like does that motherfucking say 475? Like there ain't no tree in the world?
Speaker 3:I have. I have the same stance as I do as an apple picking. I'm not going to pay you to be able to pick apples and then pay for the apples I pick to take home. I'm not doing that. Oh, you got to pay for the apples after you.
Speaker 1:Yes, I thought it was the whole, no.
Speaker 3:You pay to go pick the apples and you pay for the apples you picked.
Speaker 2:That's why I don't do it.
Speaker 1:It's not like a hustle, yeah that's dumb.
Speaker 3:That's why I don't do it. It's not like a hustle. Yeah, that's dumb, because you pay for the experience, then you pay for the product.
Speaker 2:Then they say here you go, suck, I mean brother.
Speaker 3:So I don't do that.
Speaker 2:One memory and I always say this one is when my dad did the thing where he was like like, oh, you don't get a gift or something or that big president and the whatever is for me now you, and then, like he waited till like Christmas Eve to be like, oh, that box in there is for you, so you gotta wait till Christmas or whatever, or till midnight to open it. But I remember the feeling it gave me, because it was like you suckered me this whole time to make me think that I wasn't getting anything and then boom, like. So like I try to do that with the kids, where I try to kind of personalize what they're going to get based on their personality. So then I try to like not give the illusion that there's any Christmas gifts until Christmas.
Speaker 3:So it's funny. You said that because this year I put all the, all the, we wrapped everything and then I put them in the trunk of the red car, so like the tree was bare the whole time and she was like, well, he might come tonight, he might not have you been good, like because she's like, oh, no, like because she kept asking every day. She was asking like, where's my gifts? I was like, well, maybe it was bad, maybe you want an idol list, so no, yeah, and then, and then I have you guys seen the um, the uh, the red one I watched.
Speaker 3:So we she had seen that and I said, well, maybe you'll get a snow globe for christmas. And she was like, oh no, I don't want to be in prison forever. I said, well, maybe you shouldn't be naughty, maybe, maybe that movie is so fucking weird to me.
Speaker 2:Red one, because can you tell if it's a, it's not a kid's movie, but it is a kid's movie at the same time they kind of do both because, like, you heard the cussing and then you're like, okay, that's not for kids. And then you see it, it's like, but that element's for kids.
Speaker 3:I don't think it's for little kids.
Speaker 2:I think it's for, like, teenagers, because they had crayons in there, so it's not for but then, like the whole, like experience of them delivering presents is like this is geared towards kids, kids now see, I now I did say this.
Speaker 3:I said now, if you would have told me that santa was string, stringing like this, like, like ant-man, when I was a kid, I would have believed in him. Yeah, but he wasn't doing this when I was a kid so that was rather ant-manish, wasn't?
Speaker 2:I was like damn, they just stole this right from ant-man like what the motherfucker was diving off the slate.
Speaker 2:This is wild um but that's dope though, yeah yeah, I just yeah, I just that's a dope. That memory, like because I can't place anything above that memory as far as how it made me feel, because it was like, like it just gives you just like defeated, Like I guess I ain't getting shit. And he's like oh, you know what that gift is for you, but you can't do it today. And you're like, oh shit, like you get this instant, instant excitement from that thought process. So I try to do that with them, like I want them to be excited and be like oh, I guess there's nothing, and then boom, they're here, or something I used to tell my daughters like my Christmas gifts, they wasn't wrapped.
Speaker 3:I never knew what I got until the morning I woke up and they would just be like stacked on the couch in whatever box they got them in that's how we got them this is yours. Yeah, good wrappers, a couch in whatever box they got them in. That's how we go, yeah like this is your, this is your, this is your like yeah yeah, you can wrap up.
Speaker 1:I tried to do that here and amanda was like like well, came up the first time, just like what the fuck it's like san ain't never done no shit like this.
Speaker 2:It's like oh, why did you let me do? Huh? So how do you involve your children and create new traditions?
Speaker 3:I, we, we tried like um one tradition we have that I'm not fond of. But now she knows that friday after practice, on friday I'll take her to get her food anywhere she want to go. So she'll ask for. Sometimes she'll ask for McDonald's. Sometimes she says can we go to Chili's? I like when she says McDonald's Because it's cheaper. I understand, you know so, but that's like a weekly thing. Every Friday oh, you know, it's Friday After practice I get to have, I don't know, chicken nuggets, but that's like a weekly thing.
Speaker 2:Every Friday oh you know, it's Friday after practice I get to have yeah, I know, sugar nuggets so that's, that's one thing.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I just try to see what they enjoy doing like the most and try to do like they. Just like the park, like that's. I love that shit, that's easy all day.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, no, cause they will they just like the park? I love that shit.
Speaker 1:That's easy All day. Yeah, well, no, because they will stay. All day, all day. So I just try to see what they enjoy and then repeat, repeat.
Speaker 3:Until they don't.
Speaker 1:Yep. On to the next. They tell you, they let you know what they like.
Speaker 3:Very, very opinionated, very, very much so.
Speaker 2:Uh, me, it's shit. Uh, every Friday, uh and I try to get up early Thursday to do it too is uh, being there when they get out of school on Fridays is being there when they get out of school on Fridays? I see Ava or Andreas' face light up when they're like oh shit, dad's here, it's not Mom, it's Dad this time. So when they're expecting on Fridays it gives me a.
Speaker 2:It's a dope tradition, because I know a lot of times when I was growing up my dad didn't. He was always working. So the days that he would randomly pop up at my school would be like the highlight of my fucking week, because it'd be like, damn, my dad showed up, I didn't have to walk, and like it usually means he's off for the day. So we end up doing something that day. And I know the days I show up on Thursdays, like right after work, and that it's dope in two ways, because then you see all these people that look at you like there's like other black dads that'll look at me and go this nigga's a UPS driver. Alright, I see you. Like it makes you feel good, because it's like that kind of instant respect of not only is you showing up here like I am, but you are getting it, I see you, so it works in two, but I like that they get expected of me seeing me on Fridays. That's dope so with that being, but I like that they get expected of seeing me on Fridays.
Speaker 2:That's dope.
Speaker 3:With that being said, I was going to say don't miss a Friday.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It was Friday. What the fuck were you at?
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it usually ends up ending in chicken nuggets and they know it. They're like no Happy Meals. What are we doing here? Why did you show up it's? What are we doing here, Like, why did you show up it's?
Speaker 3:like god damn, I'm not. Why did you show up?
Speaker 2:And we ain't getting nuggets. What the fuck are you.
Speaker 3:Nobody hurt your feelings like your kids man.
Speaker 2:And then on occasion I just forgot that we also used to try to do Dairy Queen, but that's a ways out now. So but yeah, but that's a ways out now. So but yeah.
