#Throwback: The Grind at Home & Beyond feat. Kardinal Offishall
The Father Hoods crew taps back in with a throwback featuring the legendary Kardinal Offishall, and the convo is loaded with real fatherhood gems! Kardi kicks things off breaking down his family dynamics: from raising kids with tight age gaps to dealing with sibling jealousy, handling little ones acting up, and balancing multiple jobs without losing that crucial family time. He gets 100 about how his household held it down through the pandemic, managing school, work, and sanity all at once. The talk hits even deeper as Kardi shares how he and his wife built a home where feelings get voiced, problems get aired out, and communication is a daily practice. Discipline, respect for different parenting styles, and the reality of kids wildin’ out in public? All on the table! Kardi also dives into introducing his kids to the neighborhood he grew up in, giving them the context without glamorizing it. And to close it out, he gives big props to Drink Champs and Father Hoods, calling them model platforms for men — especially Dads — to show up, speak truth, and lead with love.

From back-to-back diaper duty to riding in beach chairs as seats in minivans with his own pops, Mero breaks down the madness of raising kids back then and now. The host of 7 PM in Brooklyn keeps it raw about fatherhood, remembering the shock of becoming a young Dad, leaving his job to go full-time Dad, and even keeping it 100 with his kids about medicinal marijuana. Mero doesn’t sugarcoat, whether it’s talking about how his kids see him in the public eye or how he’d handle it if they ever tested the same boundaries he once did.

Father Hoods
The Real Dad Summer Starter Pack
Summer's heating up and so are the Father Hoods! DJ EFN and Manny are back swapping Dad moments. EFN’s finally getting some real sleep, dreams so vivid they belong in theaters! Meanwhile, Manny’s running a lowkey summer with no camps, just stay-at-home vibes. But don’t get it twisted, his son’s out here plotting YouTube domination with a content plan tighter than most adults. From DIY summer missions to raising young hustlers, these Dads stay ten steps ahead! Then the convo hits a deeper note. Both Manny and EFN keep it clean around the kids: no drinks, no cigars, no slip-ups. And when it comes to coffee? Manny’s kids won’t even go near it. Funny enough, EFN’s not with it either. Caffeine, sure. Coffee? Hard pass. Lastly, EFN shares how his kids are enjoying summer camp, while he’s tackling classic Dad challenges like his son’s hitting phase and his daughter getting way too comfy with their dog. Chaos, comedy, and pure Dad life! What You’ll Hear in This Episode: [00:02:20] No Camps, No Problem [00:09:55] Don’t Do it in Front of the Kids [00:18:45] The Anti-Coffee Crew [00:21:50] Managing Chaos Why Tap In: Real talk, raw moments, and zero sugarcoating. It’s fatherhood straight from the source! DJ EFN, Manny Digital, and KGB bringing laughs, life lessons, and that unfiltered Dad game you won’t get anywhere else. Learn more about your ad choices.
