Foxx talks showing his daughters how their partners should treat them, as well as the tough conversation he and his oldest daughter had about his own relationships.
Transcript
00:00My oldest daughter was great because she allowed me to make mistakes and forgive me so that when I had my youngest daughter, she said, Dad, remember you did this.
00:08Don't go left. Go right. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right.
00:10Because I do want to get it right. And in my book, I talk about things in a very funny way.
00:15But I try to convey a little bit of like, you know, don't give up because your daughters are going to need you like moms can give you a whole lot of things.
00:27But when it comes to certain things that a daughter needs is a as like perspective of men or perspective of what's happening with their bodies or how people perceive them.
00:37That's where you come in, because nothing. No, nobody knows a guy more than I do.
00:43That's why that's what I am. That's what now. Luckily. I was like Texas gentleman style.
00:50So, you know, if it's opening doors and I open the doors for my daughters, I said, this is what this is what should happen.
00:56You know, find your guy that does that. And so, you know, passing those things on, you know, it feels good.
01:02And it feels good when your daughters call you, Dad, OK, I got a crush.
01:06What? Even my little one. You got a crush? Yeah.
01:10Yeah. So you feel good when they can when you can when you do that.
01:15And so hopefully, like I said, in the book, in a funny way, guys can take from that and be like, yo, I'm going to try some of this out.
01:21Oh, I love this story about Paris. So you took her boyfriend, leaving her. I was like, what?
01:27Like, it was good. Yeah. But I had but I had to teach him as well.
01:30It's like, you know, like I'm responsible for you. So, yeah, you can get in arguments and things like that with your queen.
01:36But don't leave your queen at the lobe. You know, they get into an argument.
01:39You know, people that are reading those reading the book. Now, Paris may be the backdrop, but it could be anybody.
01:45It could be Paris, Texas. It could be anywhere. But but the thing of it is like, yo.
01:50Whatever argument you're going to have, have it and then reset.
01:54Now, that's that's easier said than done. But I even had to have my sister at that moment.
02:01Counsel me like, you know, you got to let your kids bump their hair.
02:04You got to let them figure things out. But overall, I wanted my daughter to know that I'm there for.
02:11And it was eye opening to me when my daughter, when I told my daughter, because, you know, I'm leaning on my madness.
02:17Well, you know, I'm going to tell you about love. And my daughter ain't never talked to me crazy.
02:22Telling you about love. My dad says, my daughter says, what do you know about love?
02:26You know, two different daughters from two different women.
02:29I felt that. It was. Yeah.
02:32Face crack.
02:34You know, I had to go through, you know, if it was if I was a lawyer, like she just gave some evidence that I didn't know they had.
02:41Oh, yeah.
02:53Really, it really, it really shook me. But then I gathered myself. I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:59You're right. Life ain't perfect. That's the first thing you want to say.
03:02And relationships ain't perfect. But the one thing you can attest to that, you know, your mom or anybody around you, if you say I need you, I'm there thousand percent.
03:11I don't care. And I'm able to and I don't specifically say this in the book, but what I'm showing is that I'm able to take whatever I'm going through and mad about and put it over here.
03:23Make sure you go. You go. You go. You go. You go. You go. You go. You go. You go. You go.
03:27And then I'll go do, you know, do my thing.
03:29You go. You go.
03:29Use me.
03:31Use me.
03:32Give me your guess.
03:33All the cool things.
03:33Bye.
03:35Joe's a mind.
03:35I love you.
03:35Okay, bye, you go.
03:37Bye, I love you.
03:37Yeah, get me.
03:38I love you.
03:40Bye.
