As someone who lost his father in 2011 when I was just 10 years old, it is very hard to grow up without that role model. You taking the time to listen to your fathers side and trying to form something with him is awesome.
It's always so sad when you hear about someone who didn't know their father growing up. I have two sons of my own and I loved them so much, I couldn't imagine them growing up without me. Gabriel seems like such a cool guy. I wish there was a way to magically get him all those father-son moments he missed out on. I hope his new relationship with his dad can at least in some small way alleviate that loss.
It’s like what Bill Burr said- The secret to being a good father is just playing catch with them… and sneaking in little questions or bits of advice while you’re doing it so they don’t even know it’s happening. …can’t play catch when you’re 80…
I actually grew up without my dad growing up. I'm 33 now and never met the man. And it's hard as hell. You're always wondering who he was and why he left. Sure I had a stepdad so it made it easier but mostly it was just my mom and my sister and I had to watch her struggle to raise us and provide for us. After I had my first son, I could've run like my dad did, but I didn't want my son, or now sons, to grow up wondering who I was or why I didn't stick around to love and care for them. I didn't want that life for them. Because of what my dad did, I always swore that if I had kids I was going to be a better dad than he ever was. Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing a good job and doing right by them but when they hug me or tell me they love me, that's the best feeling in the world. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
@@faeynelockhart7026, I'm so sorry to hear that, but in regards to your own kids, keep it up! It sounds like you're doing great! I don't know how old your kids are, but when they were younger, my kids loved playing table games like paper football (th-cam.com/video/jxkt0ddWmpQ/w-d-xo.html ) and 3-penny hockey (th-cam.com/video/loFvsXZVOKg/w-d-xo.html ), and this other "game" where we set up army men randomly on opposite ends of the floor (or table) and we take turns rolling a small superball to try to knock each of them over. It's literally the simplest things where you spend time engaged with them that they'll love and remember.
I lost my dad in 2019 right before Christmas when I was 21. Hearing Gabe talk about seeing his dad after so many years is so warming to me. I really hope he can get a little something with his dad before he dies.
I can't relate to reuniting with an absentee father, because my dad has been in my life since I was born, but my heart still breaks for everyone who has suffered that fate. It brings to mind that episode of The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air when Will's dad leaves him again and he cries while being consoled by Uncle Phil.
The end of that video reminded me of Marcus Aurelius, who had a person cuz only job was to whisper into his ear, "you're just a man." Which is essentially what therapy for powerful and celebrity people is, reminding them that they are just human. And that they have flaws.
My dad deserted us when I was a year old. I hired a PI at 16 (with all my saved babysitting money) and found him. He was married with step daughters and Never told them that I existed! It wasn’t a good meeting at first. Years later when his life crumbled he contacted me.
My dad got set up by his bm and put drugs in his car he got stopped by the police and thrown to Mexico so now he’s never seen his first born son sometimes it’s not a man fault
Mr.Iglesias it's awesome how you reunited with your father I pray for great healing for your heart and I pray that Jesus Christ is with you in your heart and that you go much more farther in healing and in peace not just with your father but in your life may God bless you.
Speaking from gathered information of most of the people I have at one time or another known throughout my life that had fathers not present… it was the mother who completely pushed the fathers away. Either by doing parental alienation as a form of punishment to the man or by fabricating petty lies later uncovered or by creating such drama it was unhealthy to be amicable. The fathers are always vilified but when the truth comes out, it was the mother who kept the father away. Sad but true.
@@horsedewormer What do you want me to do? Join the perennial gaslighting scapegoating victimhood sisterhood and absolve all women of their due accountability on statistics not in their favor because…? I understand your situation but it’s not the norm.
Growing up, almost none of my Black friends, & classmates had their fathers in the home, & I know how much that hurt them. Now that I’m 42, It breaks my heart that the cycle is continuing. The white kids would have conversations amongst ourselves asking why they didn’t have a Dad…. I still don’t know. I also don’t know what I would have done without the support of my father growing up, I feel awful for these kids.
A similar thing happened when I reunited with my mom. I didn't want anything to do with her anymore but I found out she was in my state so I reached out during the holidays just to wish her well. She took that as a sign to show up at 1 in the morning💀
Went to his show live in cherokee casino in North Carolina best time was a unique show cause he was said to nearly almost have died in a plane crash/emergency landing
Now it makes a lot more sense. Gabriel’s mom already had five kids from at least one other dude but probably multiple other dudes. No wonder why Gabriel’s dad didn’t want to play house with her.
@@sheilacortez8070 I mean… he basically said the exact same thing in the interview. I was not making fun of. I was stating a basic truth. No weight was put on that truth for bad or good…?
Not to mention this man is still close to Frankie even after the divorce
Shit they got divorced? I didn't know that
Just got to that part of the video, nevermind
nah that’s crazy i’m not at that part yet. I shouldn’t have come here
@@JMMike03they got divorced 8 years ago
They never got married. They were dating for 12 years before they broke up.
Can Neal let Gabriel finish a single sentence, Jesus Christ 😅
Neal’s making this hard to watch. He keeps finishing Gabriel’s sentences and then Gabriel has to correct him.
Yes!!!
and i assumed this would be better than tiger belly's version bc i know lee interrupts T^T

Sounds like he had a great therapist.not all therapists are created equal.

Sad for the dad even more so.
I’m enjoying being a father way more than I did a son… and I have a good father!

15 years ago my dad took me to my first comedy show hosted by my favorite comedian: FLUFFY
Hands down coolest podcast out! Love you Neal❤

As a Latina, I can confirm we run our mouths.
We know.
As a man married to a Latina women, this is an understatement.

Ooooo step sister their stu k go help them step bro
My dad got set up by his bm and put drugs in his car he got stopped by the police and thrown to Mexico so now he’s never seen his first born son sometimes it’s not a man fault
Well now we all know why he did what he did with Frankie his step son knowing what it like to have a father in his life he did hes best
Best shirt ever
Where do I get that OG TMNT shirt
I disliked the host on this … he kept cutting him off shit annoyed me 😅 ahaha
He's utterly annoying and rude!
Very rude and annoying to keep cutting people off.
Mr.Iglesias it's awesome how you reunited with your father I pray for great healing for your heart and I pray that Jesus Christ is with you in your heart and that you go much more farther in healing and in peace not just with your father but in your life may God bless you.
It’s gonna take 8 figures for me to talk to my father.
I am constantly sweeping away my sleepy pieces.

Gathered information 😂
To this day I have to put effort into making sure my father is as non-present as possible. Not sure gendering this issue is at all helpful.
My dad just went to get cigarettes. It was 45 years ago. Traffic is horrible
@@JonathanHassingerChannel Yup. Another bit of gathered information is that a man that uses emojis to communicate, needs to cut down on his edamame.

He should have gotten a DNA test
Didn’t he already talk bout his dad in a special

Not really
This guy is a horrible interviewer.
it's not an interview it's a clip from a podcast
@@hotjoesummer no he’s a guest being asked questions in long form sooooooo he interrupted constantly and talked over him. Just needs some work.
Who in the phuk is Neil? Never seen or heard of him.
