Roadkill Cafe, Counting Fails, And Actual Wisdom
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever notice how the smallest moments carry the most weight? We started with laughs and a road-trip story, then landed on a question we can’t shake: how do we shape the next generation to be steady, kind, and resilient when life gets loud? With three dads and a teen at the table, we move past clichés and straight into the real work of modeling manhood—patience under pressure, boundaries that teach cause and effect, and the difference between demanding and earning.
We revisit a missed chance to turn “can I have this?” into “how can I earn this?” and unpack why that shift matters for character, grit, and future choices. Foster care stories bring the lesson to life: allowances tied to responsibility, privileges linked to trust, and consequences explained, not barked. We talk about parenting across decades, the awkward regrets we all carry, and how faith and growth can rewrite a father’s playbook without pretending the past didn’t happen. The most surprising insight comes from our teen guest, who points to patience as the trait that actually sticks. Kids don’t memorize speeches; they mirror behavior.
From the sidelines to the locker room, we call out the culture around youth sports—why coaches often become father figures, and how adult meltdowns teach all the wrong things. Then we lighten the mood with what we’re into right now: new audiobooks and thrillers, a left-field period film that sparked debate, a missions trip on the horizon, and a chaotic Memphis adventure complete with a very carefully hidden pocketknife. Through it all, one theme holds: our sons and daughters are always watching. If we want strong husbands, wives, teammates, and leaders tomorrow, we have to show them what that looks like today.

SPEAKER_05Roadkill.
SPEAKER_03Oh, that's messed up.
SPEAKER_05I know. I feel bad.
SPEAKER_03No, I want to discuss on here today, since we have Zeke on, I want to discuss um how to make an an impact as a man on the younger generation. Like on kids or youth. And, you know, we're all three fathers, and this is my son, you know. So how can we make a a good impact on that younger generation as as men and as fathers and as as well a dodgeball makes a pretty good impact.
unknownI beg your pardon.
SPEAKER_05I'm too tired to deal with him today. I can't. I just can't. I make one joke. And it was a terrible one. I thought it was pretty funny. Well, you're weird. But I had this, so I had this come up yesterday, and it's so funny that you want to talk about this because we didn't talk about this before now. Yeah. But these this little kid that my daughter Peaches watches. Yes, that is my daughter's real name, speeches.
SPEAKER_03Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches.
SPEAKER_05So anyway, she babysits this boy, and he's probably ten years old, something like that. Well, yesterday we're at Walmart and he asked me to buy him a toy. And he's not my kid, obviously, so I I didn't. But on the way home, I was like, I really should have used that opportunity to say as a man, you don't ask somebody to give you something, you offer to earn it.
SPEAKER_03Right.
SPEAKER_05You know, I missed that opportunity to to give him because he doesn't have a man in his life as an example. And I missed that opportunity to to to show him and and and teach him a little bit.
SPEAKER_03Kind of teach that lesson.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Yeah. I missed the ball on that one.
SPEAKER_03That's cool too. Like drop the ball. I mean, yeah, I've like missed the ball. I mean, I guess struck out, would that be? I don't know. I guess, you know. Fumbled. I don't know. Fumbled the pitch. While you were going for the goal. Yep.
SPEAKER_04Struck out, struck out on that kickoff.
SPEAKER_03Yes, yes. Shooting the three-pointer. Yeah. Well, and sometimes you you don't realize till afterwards you had an opportunity. Yeah. Like to to be that in somebody's life, you know. So, um, and it's basically us being three, four now, different generations of like how we grew up, our backgrounds, just kind of w what you were taught, you know, what being a man looks like, right? You know, or or or how to act. And and it's it's so different than it used to be, you know, and and and we've all I think all three grew up in different eras where what a man is is is a whole lot different.
SPEAKER_04That's crazy. Richard, I'm I'm not putting you on bless. How old are you again? 48. 48. And you're 38. I'm 39. 39. So 19 year difference. Yeah, 11-year difference, 15-year difference. Yeah. That is crazy.
Defining Manhood Across Eras
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Think about just the and think about how how much the world has changed in those in those years, you know. Just kind of the way that the the world sees men, especially now, it seems like the world attacks men a lot.
SPEAKER_05Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_03You know, uh, on on what a man is and what a man isn't, and and it's kind of something that is in some circles loosely defined. You know, so it's like our our young men are kind of just thrown in the mix and they don't really know. So it's up to us to really teach them and and help guide them in what a man looks like. Um, and I know you your kids aren't old enough yet to to really grasp that, but is that something that makes you nervous as as they're growing up? Like, man, they are gonna be watching you. Uh a little bit.
SPEAKER_04Also think that I don't want to call myself wise, but I think I feel like in certain aspects, I'm more mature than you know most people my age in certain areas.
SPEAKER_03And you know, when uh when we were fostering, um you know what I really love? I'm sorry, I don't want to interrupt you. I really love that now because we're on video, I can put a mouse on a wheel so people can see like as you're thinking as you're thinking. The sigh.
SPEAKER_04I'm sorry, go ahead. That's fine. I'd rather I'd rather take my time than um um that's true. Um that is true. Um that is true. Anyways, that was something that I really considered when we were fostering. Yeah. Because we first fostered two girls. Uh one didn't have a great relationship with her dad. The other one kind of thought she did, but really didn't. And uh I really want to be a good example of what a father figure should look like. And then uh same when we were fostering that 12-year-old boy who basically his dad just gave him up and grew up having no discipline. So we really especially with him focused on you know certain aspects of what not just a man, but a just a responsible person is supposed to act like, you know, we he we gave him an allowance, but he had to earn his allowance to you know uh keep you know keep up with certain things to have uh certain privileges and things like that. And anytime you know there's any kind of discrepancy or anything, or she or he you know did something was supposed to, or anything like that, it wasn't a you're in trouble, and that's that. It's you're in trouble because of this. This is how it plays out when you're an adult. Yeah, it's not any different. The consequences are just bigger.
Missed Teaching Moments With Kids
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that's good. And it's cool too to think about that. We all three of us are kids, we have both. So you're not only teaching your sons how to be men and how to be fathers and how to be good husbands, but also you're teaching your daughters what they should look for in a in a husband.
SPEAKER_05Right, and it's that's just as important for sure. And I have so my oldest is 26 and my youngest is seven. Yeah, so I have been a different man throughout, you know. I've I've been a parent in different stages of my life, you know. So being a man is different to me now than it was when I was raising my 26-year-old. So even that is different than than what uh what I'm doing now. Yeah. Because I'm a Christian father now. It's a huge difference. So it's pretty cool.
SPEAKER_03It's just yeah, it's just man, and that's something that that I I really I've talked about this before, I really struggled with is that difference between how I raise my kids. I've been a Christian for for most of my life, but I haven't always lived up to that title. So so kind of how I raise the kids, like Aliyah got the worst version of me for a little bit of my time raising her. So I almost feel bad for that because they've got, Zeke and Zay, they've saw the best parts of me where I've I'm I've kind of got my my focus is is is on and and stuff like that. So um I almost I almost feel bad because Aaliyah had to see some of that, the bad parts of it, but she also got to see more of a rounded uh a full arc of me coming from how I was to to finally getting my head screwed on straight.
SPEAKER_04There's a a good and you know, uh positive and negative to that. You already say the negative, but then that's the positive. Yeah. Because when especially when uh she was probably old enough to remember that not so great part of life and see what see that growth and that and understand uh the character developments. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05And I have I have struggled with that too. Just you know, you'll see your adult children do something, and it's like, would they have done that had I had I been a better example when they were growing up? And it's it it's an impossible thing to I mean, you it's not even a comparison. You can't go back and change it. So it's kind of a beating yourself up for no reason thing. You just do the best you can.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Zeke, what is what is something that I have done to kind of to what is it? Roast them. Roast oh roasted. What what is something that you've seen kind of out of me, or even you know, you have your godfather and you've got your uncle Richard that's been a part of your life for a long time?
SPEAKER_04The godfather.
SPEAKER_03The godfather. What is something that you've seen out of us that you take away and go, okay, that is something that I want to aspire to be as a man or as a husband or as a father. Um, what is something that you've seen one of us do or all of us do that that is something that you you take and go, man, I'd like to, I'd like to do that. Keep in mind I'm buying your birthday present.
SPEAKER_00Um one thing that I've like one thing that I've like seen from y'all is y'all are like really patient with like just everybody. And normally I'm not like that patient with people, but like sometimes I am. So I feel like I get that from you a little bit. So yeah.
SPEAKER_03That you get that from them, right? I was not expecting such a good answer. Like, that is really good. I don't see myself as patient.
SPEAKER_05No, yeah, neither does anybody else.
SPEAKER_03That's what I'm saying. That's awesome. Well, and and and and this kind of leads us into the understanding that people are watching us, especially as men.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_03How we react to people, how we treat others, how we we conduct ourselves, because a lot of men they will speak one thing and then act another way. Yeah, and and I think that does more damage than than anything.
SPEAKER_05There's a country song that talks about that, and I can't remember who sings it. It's an older song.
SPEAKER_04Cowboy Take Me Away.
SPEAKER_03No. I I really thought I legitimately thought that might have been it.
SPEAKER_05Like, man, he was on that. Like, man, he was ready to go. Not even close. It's not the Dixie Chicks, it's a it's a guy kind of anyway. Geez, Tyler. It's talking about how his son is he's raising his son and everything he's seeing him do.
SPEAKER_04Um watching you by Rodney Aki. That's it.
SPEAKER_05That's it. That's it.
SPEAKER_04That ain't that cool. I'm your buckaroo. I wanna be like you. And eat all my dude. Bro, wait, we can't do that. We can't, we can't sing.
SPEAKER_05We'll get trademarked.
Fostering, Discipline, And Earning Privilege
SPEAKER_04Yeah, that's that's copyrighted.
SPEAKER_03Three, three, the three-man band right there, is what that is.
SPEAKER_05So that song talks about that.
SPEAKER_04He did a he they're redoing that song with his son singing on it. Yeah, it's oh gosh, I wouldn't be able to get through that.
SPEAKER_05Oh, it ain't no way. Man, I that's that's that's heartbreaking. But yeah, that song talks about that exact thing, you know, how our our sons are watching us, our daughters are watching us, and we it as it is our responsibility to put it as a good example for them.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. And it man, and it and it really is. It's super important because we we're supposed to be the head of our households and and and we we do these things and we're shaping these young men's life. Because I I come in contact with coaching, I come in contact with a lot of a lot of kids that don't have a good father figure like at home.
SPEAKER_04Right.
SPEAKER_03So the coaches almost become that father figure for you to look up to, and it's like, man, we've got a responsibility to these boys and these young men to really be the best version of ourselves so that that we could we can help guide them in the way that they they need to go. So I I think it's something that that holds weight, and we need to take that very seriously. Man, I watched a video of a basketball game that uh like all these parents just got in a big fight. Oh my gosh. It's crazy.
SPEAKER_04It is makes my blood boil. It really does. One it's a children's game.
SPEAKER_05Obviously, yeah. It's not that serious.
SPEAKER_04It's not that serious. Yeah, it like it it could be your adult child's game. It's still not that serious. It is it is a it is a basketball game. It is the disappointment. It's it's so disappointing. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Because what one I thought we already did one. Oh well, I was gonna repeat that point.
SPEAKER_04One, it is is a is a children's sports game. Yeah, there's really nothing at sick there, yeah. Uh two, that's it's just it's ugly. Yeah, why act like that? And two, it's kind of trashy, yeah, in my opinion.
SPEAKER_05That's three, dude. You suck at counting.
SPEAKER_04That is three. Wow.
SPEAKER_03Wow. And why did you do your thumb? Why was your thumb part of that? You only go to the thumb when it's five.
SPEAKER_05Like you go thumb last. That's why it can't. One, listen. The pinky. Two. Okay. Oh my lord.
SPEAKER_03That is that is great. Thank you.
SPEAKER_02Oh, that's I thought that was I thought that was more.
SPEAKER_04Well, it's like, what is that going to accomplish? Nothing.
SPEAKER_03Teaching his kids bad habits, exactly. Exactly that.
SPEAKER_04And and I I've said this before. I have I've had kids, and I'll stand by it after having kids. Children are a reflection of who raises them.
SPEAKER_05Oh, without a doubt. Yeah.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_05Well, that's you know, Tyler and I, he talked about it a while ago. We've both done the fostering thing, and those kids come from terrible environments. You know, the things that they've seen and heard is is it's horror stories that they come up with. And you know, we adopted five of them out of that. And I think one of my older children, their their complaint is that I'm softer on our adopted kids. And I think part of that is because of where they came from. You know, I part of it is because I'm I'm a different person myself. Yeah. And part of it is where they've come from. So it's tough, man. It it's real tough to to do the best you can, be a good example, and and raise them the way they need to be raised.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Absolutely. Well, let's transition, man. Let's let's let's go into that's what's up. What's up? Let's go into that's what's up. Yeah, exactly. That's the deal. Yeah, then. And and we'll go, we'll we'll start with with us, and then we're gonna go to Zeke and see some stuff that he's been listening to, watching, playing, some games, something like that. So what are some some things that you've you've done this week? Just something maybe you're uh oh. I got some snap.
SPEAKER_00That's not good.
SPEAKER_05Uh-oh. Shut up, Zeke. So I two things. I started a new audiobook series. Yeah. It's called Sons of War. It is by the same guy that wrote Helldivers. So I have high hopes for this series. It's four books. And I was at Walmart earlier and I saw that there is a new Robert Langdon book. You know, the guy that um was in. Shut up. The guy that he has no, I can't even read, and he's talking.

SPEAKER_03Secret of Secrets. Yeah. Man, remember when there was such an uproar with that when that movie came out? Yeah. Just like all these, all these people, and it's like it's it's fiction. Yeah. Like they know.
