Grief, growth, and goofy cousin energy. In this episode, Torrean (aka “Daddy”), Mondo, and Mac unpack the 30-year anniversary of Mondo’s mom’s passing and what healing looks like three decades later—faith, family, and the power of prayer. We trade memories (Mortal Kombat ’95, Grandma’s hot house, Grandpa’s phone-call diplomacy), talk about how grandparents transform into softies, and reflect on the traits our kids carry from the ones we’ve lost.

Then we pivot to the viral Rampage Jackson/Raja incident: Was it a storyline or out of bounds? We wrestle with integrity vs. entertainment, how words shape our kids (“power of the tongue”), and whether parents should shield their children from consequences. We close on “beyond success”—chasing something deeper than trophies, letting God steer the next chapter. It’s tender, funny, and real.
