What happens when your father is more myth than memory? In this emotionally charged episode, we shift gears as Richard vulnerably opens up about his fragmented relationship with his dad—a man known more for his absences than his presence. From childhood consequences tied to inherited trauma, to silent reunions and unexpected moments of grace, Richard recounts the complexity of seeking love from a man who was never fully there.

As Father’s Day echoes in the background, the conversation dives into the impact of paternal absence, generational pain, and how fatherhood can shape—and sometimes shatter—our sense of identity. This isn’t just a story of loss; it’s one of reclamation, truth-seeking, and the quiet triumph of choosing a different legacy.

What happens when two people share decades of inside jokes, emotional intimacy, late-night hotel room talks, and unwavering support — but never cross the romantic line? In this episode, Richard and Kathy peel back the curtain on a friendship that’s confused strangers, shocked friends, and even made spouses raise an eyebrow. From college days and VHS film projects to tearful hospital visits and luxury getaways, their journey is full of memories, laughter, and tea that’s too hot to sip all at once.

But this isn’t just about stories — it’s about challenging the limits we place on friendship. Can deep love exist without romance? Can two people be soul-connected without being soulmates? With humor, honesty, and vulnerability, Richard and Kathy explore how emotional closeness can be misunderstood, why most friendships today feel transactional, and what it really takes to build a bond that lasts through everything — and nothing.

From their hilariously unforgettable first meeting (spoiler: it involves stolen Ray-Bans and an elevator) to the raw and emotional journey of discovering one’s true paternity, this episode lays the foundation for a podcast that’s as real as it gets.

Kathy opens up about what it means to be a "pretty Likkle jacket"—a Caribbean term that once hurt but is now reclaimed with pride. Together, she and Richard explore the power of friendship across cultures, the impact of family secrets, and the healing that comes from owning your story.

And remember... just because it doesn’t fit, doesn’t mean it can’t be altered.
