In this reflective and wide-ranging episode, Anthony sits down with Timber — joining from Cincinnati by way of Atlanta — for a conversation that moves effortlessly between humor, truth, and hard-earned perspective. What starts with a candid breakdown of knowing when not to wear out your welcome quickly evolves into a deeper reflection on timing, maturity, and recognizing when you’ve truly entered your prime.

The episode takes an unexpected and emotional turn as Anthony continues unpacking the ongoing growth in his relationship with his father — made even more real when his father calls him while they’re recording in the studio. The moment opens the door to an honest discussion about reconciliation, gratitude, and the grace that comes with emotional maturity.

From there, the conversation shifts into the realities of dating rejections, learning not to internalize every “no,” and understanding that alignment matters more than approval. The episode closes on a grounding note, with both hosts sharing what they’re genuinely thankful for in this season of life.

Expect laughs. Expect perspective. Expect real talk.
🎧 Tap in for another honest, grounded discussion — and stick around to reflect on what season you’re in, and whether you’re walking in gratitude or still fighting the timing.

💡 Fun Fact: According to a CDC study, Black fathers who live with their children are more likely than fathers of any other racial group to bathe, dress, diaper, and read to their kids on a daily basis. In several caregiving categories, Black dads led the percentages — often by 5–10 points over white and Hispanic fathers.

In plain terms:
The “absent Black father” stereotype doesn’t hold up to the data. When Black fathers are present, they are highly engaged, hands-on, and emotionally involved.

That’s not spin. That’s reality backed by numbers.
