02x03 - The Truth About Ronnie

[bunniefuu]

Oh, she's mad about something.

I got yelled at.
Ooh!

Jen knows exactly what buttons
to push for Ronnie.

[Mike]
You all right?

[Ronnie sniffling]

[Mike]
Ronnie is crying right now.

Something must be going on that
you're not telling us about.

I'm going through hell with her.
Every move I make,

I'm scared that
my child's gonna be gone.

He's finally started
opening up to us,

and we see
all the demons coming out.

I have nothing to go home to!

You got a crazy b*tch
pregnant.

Yeah, buddy!

Party's here!

The Situation
is under construction.

This might not have been
the best idea.

you crazy!

♪ Here I come ♪♪

You got a crazy b*tch
pregnant.

She's gonna always [bleep] win
until you become a man.

When she says
I'll take your kid,

she takes my [bleep] kid.

You don't get that, huh?
Like, it's like, at a point

where I gotta [bleep] go like
this to see my [bleep] kid.

[bleep] that!
[bleep] you,

and [bleep] her too
if that's your [bleep] friend.

She don't care.

If you don't want me, I'll
never speak her name again.

I'll never contact her.
I don't give a [bleep].

I don't care about her.
I was just trying to establish

something with her because
we don't have anything with her.

What I'm saying, like,
she's gonna tell you

what she wants you to hear.

I didn't know
it was this big of an issue.

I feel dumb as a box of rocks,

because Jen never even
told me it was this bad.

So I see why he doesn't
want me to talk to her,

'cause I'm, like,
finding out the truth.

She is withholding a child
from a father.

Wish she'd told me
a couple days ago.

Walk away.
And then what?

Then I don't see my kid
for [bleep] a month?

No.
Six weeks, eight weeks...

You do what he does,
and goes to court--

He doesn't have a [bleep] kid.
You keep saying "him."

It's his life.
I'm me.

It's his life!He-- he has--
he's facing like



It's his life!That's pretty serious.

[Mike]
This is very complicated,

you know,
what he's going through.

Um, but at the same time,
to simplify it for you,

what gets people into trouble is
not taking other peoples' advice

and suggestions, and thinking
they know everything.

[laughing]And we are your friends

we love you,
and we're trying to help you.

Look at you laughin',
that's not nice.

'Cause you're
staying humble--That's not nice.

'Cause I'm trying
to tell you guysThat's not nice.

what you don't understand.

You tend to forget
that we haven't

lived with you
for eight houses.

We know who you are.

You wear your heart
on your sleeve.

You are a great person.

You get up in
[bleep] relationships,

but you're not a bad guy.

Ronnie, do you want
to be with this girl?

♪♪

Yes or no? Because you're gonna
have to fight for your baby.

I'm saying into court,

it's gonna have
to come down to that.

Or else you'll be doing it
for the rest of your life.

And I'm just
suggesting something.

I'm not judging or telling
you to do anything,

I'm just suggesting.

Of course--But I don't [bleep] know

what goes on
behind closed doors.

I don't know what goes on
between you and this girl.

But do you wanna
do this 18 years?

[bleep] that, you have rights
as a-- as a father.

I doubt that it's just like,
"I'm taking the baby,

you're never seeing her again,
goodbye."

It's so much--No, no, no, no, no.
It does not work that way.

[Vinny] It can't work that way.[Jenni] And she has a record.

It's not possible.Domestic violence record.

It blows my mind that Ron
doesn't understand

that he has options--
he can follow

the proper protocol
and legal steps,

and then let Jen [bleep] up.

I don't wanna take her away,
I just want [bleep]--

You can be a--No, no, no,
you don't take her.

Y-y-you get joint custody.

And then she can't say,
"I'm taking the baby"

'cause you have
joint custody.She has no right.

What I know from experience is
that you actually need to have

something set in stone
that he can always go by,

so that Jen can go
to these rules,

Ronnie can go to these rules,

and Jen can never have
this control over him.

No one can take the baby
from anyone.

I-I think he doesn't wanna
take the final step...

Yeah....and actually really go
through the legal process

because he doesn't want
his daughter

to grow up
in a single household.

There's nothing wrong with
being in a single household.

The only one's gonna lose

in the next couple weeks
is the baby, okay?

In my mind, the baby's
gonna [bleep] lose.

She's gonna lose
if you guys stay together.

That's how she's gonna lose.

[Jenni]
I think Ronnie has, like,
battered-wife syndrome.

Not even kidding, because,
like, the point of no return

should've been
the first day Jen said,

"You can't see your baby."

That should've been it.

[Vinny]
I actually said this
at one point.

I'm, like, where's Ron?
Like, I wanted to shake him.Yeah.

And it's because you're,
like, a prisoner

'cause she has
the baby over your head.

[crying]

I can't imagine what
that feels like

and I'm so sorry
you're going through it.

Are you scared?
Like, do you love Jen?

a baby involved,

you cannot play
the toxic relationship game.

Jen cannot be gangster

[Ronnie crying]

There's only one choice
at this current moment.

Go to court.

[bleep], I was in the mood

What's so funny is

What Ronnie's going through

what I thought he was gonna do,
'cause he was being too nice.

And now he's crying,

Regardless of all the help

we gave Ronnie,

My heart
breaks for him because

he has no idea

And he wants to be

Change from this point forward.

I'm not saying it
like it's easy.

Believe me, I know it's
[bleep] hard, trust me.

It's hard.

Mad? I was-- it was--
I was beside myself.

It was just a...
I-I had to just shape up,

and just had to-- just had
to do it, you know?

I had to go through
the whole process.

I've actually gone through
what Ronnie's going through,

and I got four years
experience with it.

It was rocky in the beginning,
and at first I was like,

oh, man, what the [bleep]
am I gonna do?

But now,
I get my parenting time,
co-parenting.

All those decisions
are made together.

That could be him,
but the first step
is the lawyer.

You weren't figuring out
if you, like, loved her or not.

And I'm like--I didn't have that...

In that [bleep]-- of like--
it's more [bleep].

I know it's scary to get
to that process,
to go through the process,

but if you do it now,
it's way bett--
way, way, way better off

than doing it later
because this kid'll be older.

[Ronnie sniffling]Don't be the guy, if she
locks you out of the house,

you keep going to the door
and knocking on it.

If she locks you out,
[bleep] leave.

What you're dealing with
right now is probably nothing

compared to how worse
it's going to get.

Take that power from her
right now.

Yes.

This is gonna be rocky
right now, getting this,

because she's a mother[bleep],
I can tell.

I've known Ronnie
for years now,

and he seems scared
of his baby mama.

I don't blame him,
I'd be scared of her too.

And all you are is a good dad...You get it?

...trying to be
with his daughter.

But look at how hard
she's [bleep] making it.

You know?True. True.

And it shouldn't be
like that.

It's always gonna be this,
and you're gonna be unhappy.

So you need to move on
with your life,

and take this baby,
and get your rights.

Let me just [bleep] say, bro,

like, I been trying to keep
my cool, trying to be okay.

Like, it's not okay, dude.

Like, this girl keeps
my kid from me.

You can't be with this girl.
You can't.

Ronnie always talked about
having that perfect life,

but you can't force love.
You can't.

Sometimes in life,

you need to hit rock bottom
in order to rise back up.

That slingshot
has to be pulled back.

It's not a setback,
but a set up.

When you tear them,
they come back stronger.

Maybe she wants to go back

That's crazy.

You can't reconcile with her.

I was a little lazy.

I did one of these.
I just pulled up.

Bro, isn't is so much less work
just to go like this?

You know what,
I didn't think
of that method.

It may be a little unorthodox.
But I mean, come on.

Just lift up and pee.
Beats a zipper any day.

Did you guys hear

What?

He pulls up one leg like this,

Him! And pees.

No, he doesn't.

What up? What's good, man?[Mike]
Yaass!

Hey, Jesus.How you feeling?

[Ronnie]
You know, drained.

Mentally drained.What's up, Ron?

I woke up this morning
and I decided

that I'm gonna take the step

and I'm gonna go see
a lawyer right now.

[all cheering]

I'm glad. I'm glad.Good job, Ron.

Oh, thank God!
Ronnie always talks about

taking our advice,
but never does.

Now I feel he's actually
taking our advice

and taking the proper steps.

The first step is the lawyer.

Just know your rights
as a dad, that's all.

She...Hell yeah.

...really not the most stable
person in the world.

So I have to basically watch
my own back at this point,

and my child's back,
and make sure that...
Exactly.

Right.
Good, 'cause--Everything is good, you know?

Mmm.

[Ronnie]
I like to keep
everything personal,

so I hate to open up to people

and let them know
what's bothering me.

But at this point, I am ready
to make a change, you know?

I have to make a change
for my daughter.

We need some kind of guidelines
and foundation

to make sure that she's
all right at the end of the day.

Sucks, 'cause I do love her,
but, you know what,

sometimes love is not enough.Mmm...

That's what's blinding you
a little bit, you know?
That's the hard part.

Yeah.
Do you wanna reconcile

and, like,
try and make it work?

I think that...
fixing myself

and worrying about my kid
right now is the best option.

And then maybe...

if she sees that
and she sees the change,

then maybe [bleep]
it'll make her change.

It'll make her
realize, okay,

like, this is
something that I want.

Or maybe...I have to step my game up.

Yeah, or you know what?
Maybe she wants to go
back to being...

Y-you gotta be nuts....a single mom.

She-- she was just
holding the baby from you.

That's the beginning.

You gotta stay away
from this girl.

For a while.
That's crazy.

You can't reconcile
with her, you can't.

At this point,
you can't anymore.

I mean,
that's our--

Why would you wanna
be with somebody

that would hold
a baby from you,

and not tell you
where it is?

That's unsafe.

God forbid, something
happened to her...

I don't know
where the baby is.

You wouldn't even know
where it is.

You can't be
with somebody like that.

You're better than that.
You're way better than that.

Together, two toxic people
make a toxic relationship.

They need to separate and just
get some parenting rights.

Sometimes letting the person
go is just out of love too.

Yeah.What?

She's with my friend.Okay.

This girl Jen leaves
a brand-new baby

to come out and probably
get into a fight.

That only shows me how crazy
this girl actually is.

He's destroyed
her house twice...

Well, he said that she
destroyed his house.

It's the same thing, so you
can't just put that all on him.

Wait, what?
You destroyed his house?
