“The first eight months – I don’t even know if I really love the baby or not. this is dope. It has increased. I’m watching this thing morph. This is my experience. Was mesmerized by this. It felt good to take care of it. But would I die if someone came in with a gun?'” Bradley said on the podcast.

He said that after a few months he fell in love with his daughter. “I’m not sure I would be alive if I wasn’t a father. I just needed someone to say, like, ‘We’re going to drop this huge anchor. I’m like, ‘Why?’ We’re moving fast! I just got a boat upgrade, and I know where the wind is coming from.’ They say, ‘No, no, no, the tsunami is coming, and you need an anchor and we’ll drop it.’ Because it will dictate everything you do from now on. Your DNA will tell you that there is something more important than you,” he explained.
