About this listen

"My presence is a presence." We’re kicking off a brand-new era of Father Time with De'Meco & Blair. We’re officially moving away from "Seasons" and into a continuous, fluid flow of conversation. No more breaks, just real talk, throughout the "Sacred Timeline" We start with Blair shaking De'Meco out of a self-sabotaging "pity party," reminding him that his presence is a presence. This is an honest look at the self-imposed expectations that haunt dads and how to give yourself grace when you’re "running on E."In this episode, we dive into:The "Utility Player" Mindset: Why every team doesn't need a Barry Bonds. Sometimes, being a great dad means playing second base today and right field tomorrow—being exactly what your family needs in the moment.Breaking the Cycle: A raw, visceral discussion on the "whoopings" of our past. We reflect on the "dragon" in the house and make the conscious choice to choose safety over fear.The Kevin Hart Reaction: Unpacking the silent burdens fathers carry so their children don’t have to.Therapy & Control: How Blair and De'Meco are using therapy to recognize patterns, drop the "boo-boo face," and simply "pick their chin up."The Magic of Moms: De'Meco gives flowers to his wife, Kate, and acknowledges the "manufactured joy" that moms work so hard to create.Fatherhood is a rock spinning in nothingness—it's finite, it's messy, and it’s beautiful. Whether you're navigating the "three-nager" stage or trying to be a better man than your father was, this episode is for you.Get ready for laughs, insights, and a whole lot of proud dad talk.Let us know what topics you'd like to hear us discuss this season, in the comments below!Presented by: Father Time MediaExecutively Produced by: De'Meco Deanes & Blair CuttsEdited by: De'Meco Deanes & Blair CuttsTheme Song by EemsWYNK Seltzer + THC - https://drinkwynk.com/ - “FatherTimePod” for 20% off at checkoutFather Time Reacts - Diary Of A CEO featuring Kevin Harthttps://youtu.be/5sCGZAcXKWg?si=W9QulfBuJ9ryHVe8&t=5050#FatherTimePod #NeverNotDad #ThisIsFatherTime
