Ish has brought so much maturity to the podcast and I love it 🙌🏾

I was glad when my parents divorced but felt devastated when my Dad got remarried. My mother didn't allow us to go to the wedding. When I saw him the next week I cried and asked him if he was still our Dad. He responded that if he thought it would upset me he would have never remarried. He said it seemed like no one cared that he was no longer with us. His words were comforting and he's been extra present to this day.

I appreciate Ish’s vulnerability this pod! Y’all really came to pod this episode 👏🏾

Having Ish sit in the middle has been a game changer for this podcast. Him being more involved in discussion moves the pod smoother.

If you're a father and you disown your child because of the mother that is INSANE. We've gotten so desensitized to this and now we think it's normal. It's not. Heal yourself and connect with your child. Our community is so lost smh

Have these uncomfortable conversations with those around you. Super happy you guys covered some tough talking points. I’m a 26 year old dad from Atlanta that has custody of my 5 year old son. I pulled him out of a very bad situation. He was left in cars. Transported without a car seat multiple times. Guns drawn in his vicinity. One instance when a gun was discharged in his direction in a car because of his mothers negligence. A father being awarded custody in the south is like winning the lottery. It’s extremely rare. Me and my sons mom are okay now. She sees him once or twice a month and pays child support. She’s flaked a few times. But she’s there. Growth is in those who seek it. Avid listener since the early SoundCloud Pete and Marisa days. First comment ever. Love.

Every time y’all drop, I know I can knock out 2-3 hours of my work day without even realizing.

That father convo was some real spit. I'm 36 and found out 3 years ago that I had living granddad in New Jersey. My dad never spoke about him so I assumed he was dead. Him & my father didn't have the best relationship and it made me understand why my dad was an inconsistent parent in my younger years.

Ish shooting from Steph Curry range on this episode, when talking about the father issues…… Salute brother 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

This episode was special + shout out to Ish for opening up about his personal experiences.

Ish has a story for every situation "So it's this girl I went to school she has no arm", "it's dude I knew from when we was growing up, he created a multi million dollar business". I love Ish man lol

I’m with Ish and Parks. If I raise a child for 10+ years, have a strong bond to this child, etc, there’s no way I’m letting him/her go without a fight. You can’t just come in after the years of work I’ve put in and just be like “well that’s my blood, so I’m taking them”. Now if you want to be involved in their life, and integrate yourself and your family, that’s fine. However, completely taking what is now emotionally and financially my child, yeahhh you’re not doing that. Joe and Ice sound selfish fr because they’re basically saying uprooting the kid completely is more important than making sure they have a stable life.

That father conversation should have its own podcast. With guests panelists and an audience. I didn’t meet my father until I was 15. Then I moved to DC from NC to live with him when I was 21. We had the conversation concerning his absence and it helped our relationship. 20 years later, I’m closer to him than my mom who raised me.

Ish has more home runs than Aaron Judge at this point. Great perspective on the parenting/fatherhood topic. Thank you!!

Finally! A real personal talk about absent fathers. The hip hop talk is good but hip hop artist are suffering from absent fathers while creating fatherless children.

What’s good JBP family! Rolling up to hear these kings talk they talk 💪🏿

As a child who was abandoned, I agree wholeheartedly with Ish. My parents dropped me with my grandmother when they couldn’t care for me and then my mother uprooted me after I began to settle into a loving environment. At 15 I was removed from her care and I learned to only survive and not live. I often wonder what my life would have been if she would have left me in a loving environment instead of trying to save her own rep just to come get me.

The way so many of us are able to cut off people and things we love is rlly sad. Many times the issues at hand aren’t worth enough to erase these relationships. That’s where our pride and ego kick in and finish the job.

the sensible conversations these pods have now is great. not missing the old cast at all.

Joe wit his law and order intro is priceless 😂 all is missing is the lil music at the end 😂😂😂

Anyone know the name of the speech at the beginning of the pod? around @3:38

Joe really been giving a masterclass on podding for the past few years, not just with himself but with pushing and molding the Cohost as well. Most people don’t even see that

What was that speech in the beginning of the pod about the Anger in Men?

From a woman’s perspective, body hair can still grow back even with laser treatment and shaving too often can cause skin irritation. But as far as first time linking up…it’s important to put your best foot forward.

This episode hit home runs. Luv the pod. I luv when y'all talk about real issues and conversation.

When y’all dropping these episodes, it’s like perfect timing! I love it

I love this episode - it was so real. Ish you the man. Glad you are on this podcast.

56:54 sent me 😭😭 “you sayin football first…” … “YOU SAYIN NAAA” 😭

Ish took over this joint 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Where can I find that speech in the beginning

I see a wrong Thumbnail with different clothes lol

This was an amazing pod just off of the vulnerability you guys had with family related issues. Especially Ish. Appreciate y’all

This is one of the greatest pods I have watched, period. I can relate to ISH even though I am younger (27 years old)...for the longest time, my dad wasn't present in my life although he literally lived about an hour from my mother's house. Growing up, I would only see him when I was ill as he was the guy with the medical aid - I would see him once or twice a year. I grew up with a lot of resentment towards him as I saw from the five of my siblings, I was the "castaway" and it didn't help that I had my mother in my ear expressing how much of a "dog" he was...turning point was when I had to attend child support court proceedings as I was coming of age and that's where I found out he was actually sending money to my mother that I wasn't aware of and this led me to question what other positive things that were hidden from me to make him out as a bad guy. I reached out since that day and we've been good ever since...and oh, he is a cop too😂😂

I love the weird disclaimer in the beginning with that weird voice😂 😂 Its the little things that keeps me emotionally attached❤

Ice at 21:10 had me rolling, “we would’ve been unplugged his ass….pause” 🤣🤣

joe be wearing the most randoms clothes ever! lmao

Episode had me in tears. I love this show man

We in the building 💯

This is their 200th “last” time talking about Kanye😂😂

Drake said it best: *I was ready, fcuk that, I've been ready Since my dad used to tell me he was comin' to the house to get me He ain't show up Valuable lesson, man I had to grow up That's why I never ask for help I'll do it for you niggas and do it for myself*

Joe is mr fancy pants today lol

Ish's story about his dad is similar to mines because my mother never bashed my dad in front of me. When I would get mad and say certain things because he wasn't around or wouldn't show up for me she always told me to respect the man because he's still my father! He made the choice to not be around and it is what it is🤷🏾‍♀️

Who is the lady in the quote on men fighting from depression to anger.? I would like to hear the whole video/audio of her message. Fire episode by the way fellas..Really good work.

Great pod as usual. Right from the start with the lady talking about us Melanated men and when the convo around the 50 cent/ father talk. All resonate with me as I grew up with a single mom and Ish was on one. Money is always there but that time that your kids need from us as dads is truly priceless.

Coach POP is GOLD in human form!! People need to be educated.

Need more episodes like this.

I’ve never seen someone miss on there jokes as much as Parks. They get quite n move on like he ain’t say shit 😂😂😂

listened to the whole pod yesterday but the visuals add so much more. i need to see the fits. joe looks so comfy like he's wrapped in a blankie 😊

We need a clip of that speech on KZfaq fellas. That opening speech from that lady. Please clip it up and use it on IG.

JBP FAMILY WADDUP 🙏🏼 Fresh episode lets get it

Love it 🤐🤞🏾🥷🏾 can’t wait till we back on the tour 📸

My man Ish is the Black Theo Von…He got a story for everything lmao

I'm Rollin rn!!🤣🤣🤣 How ice mumble out "chloe" when joe say "jack bower son" Chloe was the i.t help 🤣🤣 ...ok let me play rest of the pod now. ✌️

Being a dad of 2, this was a great episode. Thank yall

I need the full speech from that lady … “anger in men”😮‍💨😩💯💯🥰

Joe look like he about to base jump from the top of the building with those parachute pants 😂

That depression speech at the beginning of the pod spoke to me 🙏🏽

Joe back on nasty time with the fits lol.... Dressed like a retired 90's background dancer.

As someone who is in Ish's position in regards to relationship with my father. I truly appreciate this episode. Had to rewatch this episode 3times

Somebody on that couch be giggling boy 😂

Joe dressed like he lives in Tibet.

Shout out to Antwon for his vulnerability and strength to speak on his experience on something so important! Plus his perspective was able to bring the 50 and Brady topics full circle!! Ish dat dude and the reason I still wash this pod!! 🙏 🙏

Vector tried to get me after High school, I went into that Office/Apartment lmfao 😂 and never went back.

136:00 stubles 😂😂😂😂 Ice said I’m hitting regardless 😂😂😂

Ever since ish moved to the middle seat he became one of the greatest Podcasters ...he be talking that shit 😂

I see his subscribers jumped tremendously LOL

there was a new Rory and Mal podcast commercial in this and I think that is hilarious 😂😂

Kanye is trying to burn his yeezy brand so Adidas can’t do shit with it.

Joe’s outfit looks mad cozy 🤣🤣

It's funny how the law/police will arrest you for beating discipline into someone, and will beat discipline into a person who doesn't comply with being arrested.

This was one of the dopest pods from u guys. 🔥🔥🔥

This was the most mature and intelligent conversation about 50 and his son. Great podcast.

Hearing Ish talking about his dad makes me wanna give him a hug 😢.

Let's get it.. working and listening to JBP nothing like it..

Joe’s disclaimer in the beginning of the pod is pure gold 😂 fucking hilarious 😆

First time getting a notification of the pod dropping in a year even tho I've been subbed with notification on the whole time

The fit is crazy today👌🏾🤞🏾

This is the best podcast on youtube.

Catching up on pods cos I've really missed a few (I know I'm hella behind) but this one is such a good discussion - especially around the topic of 50 cent & his son. I love that Ish was able to be vulnerable and share his own personal experience in growing up & the outlook that some men have/ go through. These are the types of important convos that open up the floor for communication among many & you gotta salute the JBP for it 👏🏾👏🏾❤️

I need that video he was playing in the beginning with the lady preaching!!

Three babies under the weather over here.... this is just what I needed to end a long day. You guys look so cozy- makes me miss home. I miss the crispy fall air. Enjoy! I know someone since they were a baby. I'd been telling the mother to tell the child they were adopted since they were 3. I said to just say it plain. "You came out of a different belly, but you're my baby." She said 10. 10 came and went. Literally, the worst case scenario happened... someone else told (just being mean after ear-hustling a grown folks' conversation). Everyone was caught off guard, and by this time, they were already going through their "terrible teen" phase. Oh boy! Things hit the fan after that, and they said they felt like their life was one big lie that everyone was in on. It was horrible. Little kids are pliable. They go with what they know because that's all they know. Finding a gentle way to say 'he is a piece of his mom she left for him to love, and not being his bio-father doesn't mean he can't be his dad' would be a kind start. You don't want a custody issue either. I'd assume there was a reason she didn't tell him herself so personally, I'd hope she had a will, and granted guardianship to her husband. If not, get custody officially first and foremost, wait to tell the bio-dad until the child is ready to find him, and connect. There are too many unknowns to take chances. That was a doozy... great pod, gentlemen! Thank you!🤗

It should be illegal to strike your child because a child's brain cannot tell the difference between assault and punishment. It will release the same fight or flight chemicals and it WILL cause trauma

1:50:00 mark where Ish talking bout the time share in Atlantic City. It sounded like a scene from from American Hustle 😂

ISH SNEAKER GAME IS HILARIOUS TO ME😂

The conversation about the kid, step dad, and real dad is in the movie "Big Daddy".

ice’s shoes 👀🔥 the whole fit is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Ish: Let me ask you a question. Just ask the damn question lol

Any link to the opening quote Joe played at the beginning?
