SPEAKER_03 1:53

SPEAKER_04 2:03

My man, no dispensing owner, I guess. Clubs out. Anyhow. Anyhow. Hey yo, B game, man. Before I do the whole intro and shit and whatnot. So just to let y'all know this episode, like it's been a long time since I did this, and so I decided what better way to do it than to come back and have this man with me. I'm gonna introduce him in a minute. But y'all know who the fuck it is. Appreciate you. Goddamn ruddy. But anyways, fucking gonna chop it up. But uh, and the reason why I called him because he checked it. I I got I got this whole speech planned out and he don't know it, but check it out. So he don't know, he don't know. So we check it. We check it, right? So every now and then, maybe like twice a week, twice a week, every two weeks in a month or whatever, I'll get a phone call from this guy. Cause we friends, you know what I'm saying? We close friends, but we not close friends like well, we close friends, we family. We family. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I don't know if the fuck out of the moment. Thank you. I just said it was a long time. It's been a long time, yeah. Long time. I'm back, bitch. Anywho, uh, so we cool, but because we live totally so you know, separate lives or whatever, and he be doing his thing, I be doing my thing. We don't, you know, we we see each other in the street. It's hugs and love. You feel me? You know what I'm saying? Anything pop off, I'm bang, bang, bang. You feel me? But we keep in touch every now and then we come in and we had this big long power. We'd be on the phone for like three, four fucking hours.

SPEAKER_03 3:46

Yeah, we do, we do. So pause.

SPEAKER_04 3:52

Right, right, right, right. So in that conversation, I this so this pod is going to be pretty much similar to the that's this phone call. You know what I'm saying? That's all I want. The phone call that we normally have when he does call, or when I do call, when I reach out, because I think I'm calling him more now that he's calling me. Right, right. He's too famous for me. So anyway, so yeah, don't even do that. He's too famous for me.

SPEAKER_03 4:17

Don't even do that.

SPEAKER_04 4:19

You feel me? Like I he's famous, bro. When you had to go fly out to go see your man perform, he's famous, bro. You know what I'm saying?

I'm at the crib chilling. I think I was playing Madden or something. I do not know, but it's I'm gonna start back, right? I'm doing my Bruce Wayne, you know what I'm saying? Doing my daytime change thing, and uh, I get a phone call in the middle of the day. Now, I'm not again, I'm not a stranger to Rudy's phone calls. Rudy calls often. We talk for a very long time. Boom. So I see Rudy call, I'm answering that bitch. Appreciate you. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, boom. Rudy calls, I'm in the middle of whatever the fuck I'm doing. Boom, he calls. And and I'm I swear to God, I'm finna get to the bullet points. I'm just starting backwards. Rudy calls, first thing out of his mouth is motherfucker. Where the fuck were you at? Like, I now I have to recollect where I was at. I don't know what time, place, or anything about where the fuck I was at or anything. I don't know where the fuck he's talking about. So I'm like, I didn't do it. You know what I'm saying? Whatever it was, I didn't do it. But he claims that I did it. And what it was was I was not present one night at an area that we went to, clutch, one time for clutch. Long, long time ago. Long time ago. So don't have been there.

SPEAKER_03 11:36

I'm saying we all we all have our you know saying downfalls, but at the same time, as long as you there to take care of your own, that's what it's about.

SPEAKER_04 11:43

No, dead ass.

SPEAKER_03 11:44

Dead ass, bro.

SPEAKER_04 11:45

Deadass. And and and half the battle is is is sticking around. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Especially out here, because the culture is mad different. And so different, bruh. And it's hard to I don't know, man. It it's it's it's not is it do you do you find it hard to parent? It depends. The culture Well shit, half yours already grown. I say, well, did you? Let me put did on that motherfucker. Yeah, I know you still parent him, but you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:18

It was it was hard at times because so because, like you said, the culture difference, but at the same time, the language barrier too. Right, you know what I'm saying? That's what the biggest thing I had to fight with, you know what I'm saying? Um at times I had to put a rule in my house like, yo, look, y'all only could talk English so I could understand it. But you know how kids are, right? They don't listen. They went back to Japanese. So I would have to look to my wife and be like, what they said, right? What they say, right? But you know what I'm saying? I I was able to pick up certain things from them and learn a little bit of Japanese. I could speak a little bit, all right, but at the same time, they get into these big conversations with their moms, and I'm still trying to, you know what I'm saying, trying to decipher it. But when it comes down to it, it's hard, but at the same time, as a dad, as a parent.

SPEAKER_04 13:13

My bad. I don't mean to say that. I'm sorry, my bad, my bad, my bad.

SPEAKER_03 13:18

Bring up my little closer go ahead. But as a as a uh a dad and a father, right, you will find ways to parent that kid. Right.

unknown 13:28

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nah, no shit.

SPEAKER_03 13:30

You know what I'm saying? That and that's one of the things that I had to learn and fight through in order to make sure that my kids are good. You know what I'm saying? My main thing is the way I look at it, everything is that I want to make sure that my kids are good. You know what I'm saying? I grew up without a father. My father was in Jamaica, my mom was in the States, you know what I'm saying? I didn't get to meet my pops until I was like 12. You know what I'm saying? So it was like I didn't want to have that for my kids. Right. You know what I'm saying? So for me, I was like, nah, if I have ever had kids, I'm gonna make sure I'm there for them. If answer buts, mames about.

SPEAKER_04 14:05

That's the big reason why a lot of us as I ain't gonna say just black men, but I'm talking about American men, period. Like stay over here and you know what I'm saying, and go through the go through the motion versus bringing her back to the states or whatever, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03 14:18

Well, I could say for for me personally, right? One of the things for me was being able to raise my kids in a safe environment. You know what I'm saying? Where my kids don't want, I don't have to worry about my kids, you know what I'm saying, getting snatched up or getting shot and anything like that. That was the biggest thing for me. You know what I'm saying? Over here, the kids are you already know kids, kids be walking out on the street like damn near eight, nine o'clock at night.

SPEAKER_04 14:45

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, we're talking about little kids. Little kids. Yeah, we're not talking about teenagers. We're talking about fucking kids be out the door, you feel me?

SPEAKER_03 14:52

Right.

SPEAKER_04 14:52

Go ahead, my bad.

SPEAKER_03 14:53

No, no, no, you're good, you're good. And that was my main thing was to make sure that my kids grew up in an environment where the this this Japanese culture is more dedicated towards kids and making sure kids are good.

SPEAKER_04 15:06

They they are about the future. That ass.

SPEAKER_03 15:08

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's the first thing. The second thing is being around my kids, you know what I'm saying? I did not want my kids to be like, where's my daddy at? Or who's my daddy? True. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_04 15:20

No, that ass. That's what I'm saying. That's that and because I said that to say, because I think that's one like one of the big reasons why I stayed out here. You know what I'm saying? Because I didn't want to be not present, right? Or in the case, because like I said, I was a work in progress, not I wanted to be available, right? You know what I'm saying? Right. I wanted to be available. So in the case of, you know, uh, in the case of of kids outside of my house, I'm here. Right. You know what I'm saying? Right. I'm here. I'm right. Right. So I ain't nothing but a phone call away, a drive away, a hop, skip, and a jump away. Instead of being a plane ride away. Instead of being a plane ride away. You feel me? Right. I'm right here. I'm I can I can put my hands on whoever put their hands on you, goddamn. Right, right. I'm gonna get them too. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And number two, the the number one thing is which I discovered later on, which I did not know was a thing, but I'm glad that I discovered it. It's it it plays a big role in like school. Yes. Activities, like them dealing with, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03 16:28

Yes. I let me ask you this. Your kids growing up over here, did they go to all Japanese school or did they go to like did they ever run into any encounter where they were like getting bullied by uh completely Japanese school?

SPEAKER_04 16:46

My my daughter.

SPEAKER_03 16:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 16:48

Yeah. I don't want to get into it because I like to fucking destroy that goddamn uh fucking uh center that she was going to, you know, little after school center or whatever. Whatever, you know. I'm at work, can't get them right in. Right. They they ain't old enough to get in the house, they gotta stay here till somebody comes get them. Right. That's where they're at, you know. Right. I'm only like maybe 30 minutes out, so they're they're not even there that long. That's where they would be at. And then incident happened. Like I said, I went fucking.

SPEAKER_03 17:18

How did you how did you deal with that?

SPEAKER_04 17:21

I dealt with it wrong. I ain't gonna hold you. I dealt with it. I I'm not even finna get into the details. That's how wrong. I only think I know, only thing I know for a fact is I dealt with it wrong. Okay, I dealt with it wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, bro. That's that's one of my I ain't gonna hold you. That's one of the lowest moments in my life. One of them. And if I had to put a bunch of low moments up, that's one of the greatest hits, my nigga. Wow. You know what I'm saying? Okay, as a parent. Like I learned a lot as a parent. I changed a lot after that. After that, okay. Fuck you. That was a definite moment in your life. I changed a lot as a parent after that. I changed a lot. That that that that that ate me up inside. You know what I'm saying? That ate me up inside because you know what I'm saying? I'm not sure. I don't know, for me, that fucked me up, bro. That changed, but it changed me as a parent, bro, because I'm a school. I fucked that up, bro. I fucked that up. I fucked that up. And I am I'm not ashamed to admit it. You feel me? Right, right, right, right, right, right.

SPEAKER_03 18:25

I fucked that up. That's one of the things that's a good thing. Uh, you being as a parent and as a man, being able to own up to what you did, yeah, you know what I'm saying, and know what you did kind of you know how to change it going forward in the future. Because I know you got more than one kid, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, and that helped you as a parent to change how you deal with the rest of the situation later on down the life.

SPEAKER_04 18:48

It it changed how I it it it it like I say, it changed my direction as a parent like drastically, bro. Like I it like night and day. Drastically, wow, you feel me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it it I I wanted, I wanted, I but nah, that that's yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:11

You know what? I mean, not to cut you off, but um I had a different experience with that. Um what we had first thing first, let me let me let me explain you explain to you my family dynamics. Okay. All right, all right. First thing first, right? I don't have no pure Japanese in my family at all. Okay. At all. Okay. Meaning that her sister, her oldest sister got married to a Mexican.

SPEAKER_00 19:47

Okay, right.

SPEAKER_03 19:50

Her next sister got married to a black guy.

SPEAKER_00 19:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:56

Right? Her brother got married to a half white, half Okinawan chick. God damn.

SPEAKER_00 20:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 20:03

And then I got married to her. Right. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_04 20:11

Y'all don't even that y'all family the reason why they protested right now. You see what they're doing to us? They invading us. They just taking over my whole family. Y'all took over there, took over my whole family, bro.

SPEAKER_03 20:25

Right. Her kids, I mean her um, her mom's um grandkids, it's all mixed. You know what I'm saying? Which is actually cool because when my daughter was going to school, she was going to Hawasay, right? But her cousins was there. So it was like a whole gang of half kids that was going to the school. That had to be great. I bet that had to be great. Man, they was the most popular kids in the school. You know what I'm saying? So they didn't have to deal with that. I mean, to a degree they dealt with that dynamic, but the way they think and the way they are, they was like, whatever. You're stupid. Right. And this kept it moving, especially my daughter.

SPEAKER_00 21:06

Right.

SPEAKER_03 21:06

You know what I'm saying? She she's different. She's different. The way she moves, the way she acts, she is, I could say she gets a lot of her pride from me. You know what I'm saying? Because I'm a prideful dude. You know what I'm saying? As to what I do and what I love to do. Okay. And that's the same way she is. You know what I'm saying? So anybody that talked to her and call her any type of name, she's like, whatever, you stupid. Right. And just kept moving.

SPEAKER_04 21:33

She seemed like it. She looked like it. I ain't never really, I've never really spoken to her as an adult or whatever, but she seemed like she got her head on her shoulder. You feel me? She seemed like she she knows what the fuck she wants. And she knows what the fuck. You feel me? She she seemed like she knows what it is, bro. You you you y'all did a good job, man. I appreciate that, fam. I appreciate that. I ain't finna talk about your son on camera, bro, because I've already shamed you enough, bro. I've not already shamed you enough.

I I wanna, you know what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_03 27:26

See, what I've learned, and this is what my my dad, after I turned 18, right? You know what I'm saying? This is after I met him and stuff, right? He told me, he was like, once you turn 18, you're a man. I can't tell you what to do. Only thing I could do is advise you of what you need to do. You know what I'm saying? And I kind of take that that stance with my kids. It's like, look, once you turn 18, I'm not a parent anymore to you. I'm a guardian, well, I'm a I'm a guidance counselor, basically. You know what I'm saying? To guide you to where you need to go.

SPEAKER_00 27:58

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 27:59

You know what I'm saying? So I can't I can tell you what's wrong and what's right, right? But it's up to you to make that decision because you're a grown-ass person. Yeah, our job's never done, yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, our job's never done. It's never done, but at the same time, you can't force, you can't lead the horse to the water and make him drink it. Nah, you're right.

SPEAKER_04 28:18

You're right.

SPEAKER_03 28:19

You're right. So that's the stance that I wind up taking with them. It's like, okay.

SPEAKER_04 28:24

I don't think I want to be that that that type dad neither. Like, do this. You know, flow how it flow. You feel me? So I yeah. I, you know, I feel you, bro. You uh you kind of gave me an insight into you that and I think a lot of people is gonna enjoy hearing that shit, bro. Cause I again, if, if, if, because that position is, I don't know how rare that is. Shit, I'm pretty sure it's not that rare. Dads that's DJs that have their kids come to that, I'm pretty sure it's not rare. I've never heard one speak, so you're the one. You're the one. Shit. So anywho, but nah, man, that that's a good chat, bro, on that whole thing.

SPEAKER_03 29:06

Uh fuck. I mean, not to cut you off. Not to cut you off, but I mean, your duder is doing dude, she's doing big things. Both of them in it, bro.

SPEAKER_04 29:20

Both of them in it. I'm proud, bro. I'm talking big, big, big, you know what I'm saying? Right, right. Right. You feel me? I'm talking big, like they, they both have the potential to do something outstanding. Right. You know what I'm saying? And the only thing I can tell them, only thing I can tell them is because at first, you know, to get them hyped up, let them know I am interested. You know, I'm talking big shit. Cause I'm excited. NBA, bro. NBA, we're going. But as the years went on and stuff like that, and I became a a more well-rounded dad about it. You feel me? I had to go through my ups and downs about it. Uh, it's more now the lesson, the the thing I want them to get out of, I want them to know is basketball can take them anywhere they want to go. Exactly. Exactly. And that's all I want. Basketball, yes. I'm talking about they're they're very nice in the manner of basketball. You know what I'm saying? They're gonna do something with that. You know what I'm saying? So that's all I want is for them to let basketball take them somewhere.

SPEAKER_03 30:33

Can I tell you something? And you know, me being a little bit older than you, you know what I'm saying? The way I look at it and the way I got my kids are, do what you love to do and make money at what you love to do. I told them that too.

SPEAKER_04 30:48

I told them that too.

SPEAKER_03 30:49

You know what I'm saying? I told him that too.

SPEAKER_04 30:50

You're gonna get you're gonna get a fucking big pile of money for playing a fucking game.

SPEAKER_03 30:54

Right. You know what I'm saying? But the thing is too, and I understand where you're coming from because I've been there. I've I've I've been there because my son, he's got a full scholarship to play basketball in both high school and college.

SPEAKER_00 31:10

Right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 31:11

You know what I'm saying? And what I was trying to, what I try to relate to him is that this is not the only thing that you could do. Right, right, right, right, right. There's other avenues that you can do. You know what I'm saying? But at the same time, if you love this, work your asshole for it. For it, yeah. Okay. I was like, take me as an example, is that I love to DJ. And I've been doing it for years, you know what I'm saying? And I make money out of what I love to do.

SPEAKER_04 31:46

You you're basically saying the same thing. I've been, I, I, I say to them, especially like doing this what we're doing right now, because right as they started getting hot, is right around the time I started doing this. Oh wow. And so I'm like, I'm gonna keep working on this if y'all keep working on y'all can't. Right. You know what I'm saying? Right. And it so far it has worked. You know what I'm saying? So far it's worked. I gotta, I gotta, my daughter was, my daughter was was nominated out of her school. Oh wow. First time ever in her school for any player, male or female, to be nominated for an all-star. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You feel me? And you know, that right there was like, all right, bet. So now we know for now we know for sure, for sure this is it. Like, I ain't saying this is it, like this is where we're going, but she can. Right. There's this is an avenue. Right. You know what I'm saying? That she can take. And she can take it as far as she wants to go, or like you said, take it to where she wants to go. Right. You know what I mean? So it I it is is at this point, it's all on her. We will just give her the tools that she needs to get there. And continue to give her the tools. That's it. That's all we're gonna do. Give her the tools. Whatever tool we can give her, whatever workout, whatever drill, whatever sneakers, whatever, you know what I'm saying? Right, whatever, whatever rap, whatever goddamn surgery, massage, whatever the fuck, you know what I'm saying? Whatever she needs, we're going to pour into her and both of them. And you know what I'm saying? And that's all we can do. Right. And and and and love on her to death and let her know we're proud of her. We're proud of both of them. You know what I'm saying? Right. We're proud of both of them. You know what I mean? No matter what, no matter fucking what, we're here, even if you become a fucking bum in the future. Still here. One more question on this subject, and then we're gonna switch this up, and we're gonna get the fuck up out of here. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 33:47

Yeah, only 30 minutes, yeah. It ain't been that long.

SPEAKER_04 33:48

Dude, it's only for like 15 minutes. It's like fucking talking on the phone, bro. Same p game, man. Same episode. One more question. One more question in this in the same vein. And uh shout out to all the motherfucking basketball parents out here too in Japan. Yeah, I'm saying uh word. Yeah, all the basketball, all the basketball parents out here. If you're a basketball parent, big up to you. You feel me? Uh stay on your journey, man. Your kid might be the one, might be might be the next Ruby entrepreneur. You feel me? Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 34:17

Don't don't sleep with Oakinao got some some bullish. It's some dogs out here I've seen.

SPEAKER_04 34:23

But from what I've heard, mainland carrying them, though.

SPEAKER_03 34:26

Yeah, Maryland carries, though. And then the thing is, too, with my son, he went to Beto junior high school, right? And he was he was like an all-star player out of there. Right. And then he got recruited to go to mainland to play for Nobioca. And it's a big difference in the way I the way they play the games down here versus the way they play up there.

SPEAKER_00 34:50

Right.

SPEAKER_03 34:50

The game is a lot quicker, a lot faster. Them cats move bruh. You know what I'm saying? And at the same time, the thing is being in Mainland versus being in Okinawa, you get more looks in mainland.

SPEAKER_00 35:04

Yeah, you get more looks. Yeah. You get more looks. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:06

Get more looks.

SPEAKER_00 35:07

You get way more looks over there. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 35:10

But I but like I said, man, and and I say it all the time, if you're nice, they will come find you. Oh yeah, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:17

They will come find you.

SPEAKER_04 35:18

You feel me? Like I said, shout out to all the basketball parents out there. You feel me? Anyway, uh, one more thing before we leave this subject. Like I said, we're gonna go to the next subject. That saying, uh, people say to their kids, when you get old enough, you gotta get the fuck up out of here. Were you one of the parents?

SPEAKER_03 35:44

I I'm not gonna say that I was one of those parents. Right.

SPEAKER_04 35:48

Um was cool that they, you know what I'm saying? If let's say they didn't know where they were going, because both of y'all, both of yours know look like they knew exactly what the fuck they were gonna do. They they knew what I'm saying. But when they was younger, they knew exactly what they wanted to do. So they just they just needed to just maneuver to get to where they were going. So at some point, so you knew at some point they were getting the fuck up out of here. Right, right.

SPEAKER_03 36:05

Like my daughter, she came to me directly and she was like, Daddy, I can't stay in Okinawa. This is right after she graduated high school. So she's about 19, 20. About 19, yeah. And she's like, Dad, I can't stay in Okinawa. I was like, what you mean you can't stay? She's like, There's no good modeling jobs down here for me to get. Right. So I need to leave. I say, so where do you want to go? She said, I'm Tokyo. All right. When you want to. She was like, I want to leave in a couple of months. Ah, go. Oh shit. Ambitious. You know what I mean? And she got the new. I can't stop her. I can't stop her. You know what I'm saying? You can't stop her. Hell yeah. I was like, yo, okay. How much I need to pay for this, how much I need me to pay for that to get you on your feet. Right. You know what I'm saying? And she was gone. By 20 years old, she was gone. My son, doing us in college now, he was out of our house by the time he was, what, 14, 15? He went to high school in mainland. Right. You know what I'm saying? And my youngest, who is 14 now, um Is he going that same path? He's thinking about it. You know what I'm saying? He's on he's on the fence right now if he wants to stay here or if he wants to go to mainland. But at the same time, he's looking at his brother, and he's like, he kind of want to go in the same pass of path as his brother. Right. You know what I mean? So I don't know. It's up to him right now, right? But I'm pretty sure he's probably gonna go to mainland.

SPEAKER_04 37:36

So it's safe to say that you didn't say that because you just totally jumped over the fucking subject. I said you were what I'm assuming you weren't one of those niggas. No, I wasn't I I don't think I'm gonna be one of those niggas. Yeah, I wasn't that because you kick them out, then what? Now they out in the street like like bums. And you know what? I don't think it's that bad if they stay to the crib a little bit longer. Yeah, yeah, it's not that bad.

SPEAKER_03 38:01

Shit, when we was younger, shit.

SPEAKER_04 38:04

Well yeah, my childhood went a little different. Anyway, my childhood was a little different.

SPEAKER_03 38:10

18 years old, I was gone, so I made my decision early.

SPEAKER_04 38:13

It was like I I was gone, I ain't gonna say I was gone early, but I I did a lot of things early. So I I don't want that, I want my kids to have a full childhood, and that's why I'm here doing this shit. You feel me? I'm gonna have a full I want them to have a full fucking childhood, man. Be kids for as long as you can be kids, children, be children for as long as you can be children. For real. Because being an adult fucking sucks, bro. Hey, you get to go out, have fun, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but you gotta pay for all that shit later on. You feel me? So, yeah. And then you turn around and be all fucked up like me and shit.
