[8:32] never go wrong.
[9:02] Choose right, be sure you're
[9:07] The world is watching and people are listening at the crossroads. They're hoping and wishing
[9:19] and looking for answers but they don't really know.

[11:28] just stop stop look
[12:11] That's DJ Willy Wow from his hip hope for kids release. And he was introduced by his dad for
[12:19] Portland was before that. That's Mick Jordan. You're listening to the children's hour. I'm
[12:24] Katie Stone. This is our dad's day show. You can follow along on our playlist at children's
[12:31] hour.org. Look for dad. This is the latest from future featuring van van and Aura V right here

[13:41] shores and them good grades you make.
[13:46] That's right, alright, tell me what's your fee? One million dollars! Let's negotiate first,
[13:51] but I'm proud of you baby girl. Always know your worth.
[14:34] I
[14:49] the
[14:59] This one goes out to all the dads out there. Doing what we gotta do for our family and
[15:04] for the snap dads. See y'all, let's go.
[15:38] Let's be honest, who exactly are you trying to impress? Statistically speaking, your kids
[15:44] are average at best. No, I'm not saying they're not special, because we both know that they
[15:49] are. But in this world, they're only going to get so very far.
[16:14] That's why you've got to scare them straight. Act a little crazy sometimes, stay up a little
[16:21] too late. Make them fearful of what they might become. That'll make them study hard instead
[16:30] of goofing around and having fun.
[16:35] I think that's how I came undone I tried to be different I tried to be good I thought I'd
[16:59] trying to be different.
