- I'm a dad. (baby coos)
- I'm a dad.
- I am a dad.
- I'm a dad.
(baby cooing) - I'm a dad.
- I'm a dad.
- I'm a dad. (chuckles)
(dramatic music)
- First thing I wanna do is look at the bags
under everybody's eyes. (group laughing)
- We can't hide it. (group laughing)
- Okay, all right. - Yeah.
- That's pretty dumb. (group chuckling)
Maybe we're just all tired.
- Yes. (group laughing)
'Cause we're really tired. - You know?
- Are these your...
Everybody's only kids, or do people have more?
- Only.
- We have more kids. - I have a lot.
So this is one of six. - Oh.
- This is my only dad. - I have six total.
- Oh. - Is he the oldest?
- No, he's the second oldest.
- Oh, second oldest?
How old did you say you were again?
- I'm 33.
- 33? - But the two older
are from my husband's first marriage-
- Okay. - So we have also
a 14 year old. - Okay.
- For me, I was like, "Six kids, that's a lot (chuckles)
to be a stepparent."
So I think that was one of the thing
that I wasn't too sure about, you know,
someone wanting to be a stepdad for six kids.
- Stepdad. That's nice, man. - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah. (group laughing)
- He's not the stepdad,
he's the dad that stepped up. (group laughing)
- Screw up. Truly.
I've got one other, I've got a son.
He was just born.
He was a month old. - Oh.
- Dante, and then her.
- I have two, this is my oldest,
and then my daughter, she's seven years old.
So those are the only two that I have right now.
I do want at least three more,
you know, and have five. - Yeah, yeah.
- Just keep going.
- We're all gonna have families here.
(group laughing)
You know, let's go for it. - Yeah. I'ma join.
- I'm a single dad,
so I have to find. (group laughing)
- I think you have them.
- Oh. - Yeah.
- I got one more. Same thing.
He's seven and he's the last one.
Two is enough. (group laughing)
- Three months saying I feel like I'm done too.
- Yeah. (group laughing)
- I want a football team basically.
- Yeah. (group laughing)
- That's it. - Sorry.
I'm curious like what's the most shocking thing
or maybe most difficult thing about fatherhood?
'Cause that's something that we can all can relate to.
- I think for me is...
I didn't feel like a dad. It was more like a school project.
Like, "Oh, I just gotta make sure it's all right."
- Yeah. (group laughing)
- You survives the day. (person laughs)
- First, I thought it was him because,
like, he was kind of tossing the kid around.
I was like, "Oh Jesus, it's gotta be like
an uncle type figure."
- The part that's probably comes the hardest
is the growing up part.
It seems kind of cheesy, but really like every day,
she does something new.
There was one weekend that we had a nice little weekend,
me and my wife and she was with my parents
and she came back that weekend knowing a few more words
and I was upset
that I missed that. (group laughing)
Like, just those little moments
that you miss- - Yeah, yeah.
- Like, I don't ever want you to take her again.
I can't. (group laughing)
No, no, no.
I don't want her learning anything else
at your house. (group laughing)
(baby whining) It's okay. What's wrong?
- I think the hardest thing for me was learning
how not fragile like kids are.
'Cause like- - Yes.
- That's you always hear about like all the fun stuff
that you get to do with kids and play with them and stuff.
But you never, nobody ever talks about
when you hurt them how it's gonna affect you.
Like, the first time you drop them,
you're playing a little too rough, but you're tough, right?
Yeah. (group chattering)
- I'm always so concerned about this little girl.
I'm like, dude, like everybody,
I'm always making sure they're washing their hands,
like making sure they're like,
"Oh, you didn't pet any dogs, did you?"
Oh, I can't.
- I was having second thoughts on Elijah too.
Only because he was younger than him.
- Yeah. I have a feeling that Elijah is also suspicious.
I think I'm gonna have to piggyback off that too.
Like the...
Not just emotional toll, but like the physical toll.
Like, you're not just physically there for your child,
like, you're emotionally there for them all the time.
They become a mini- - Ah.
- Like, this is my mini me essentially, right?
Like everything- - Yeah.
- My values and everything becomes him, right?
- It looked like they were like uncle, nephew
because they were like playing around a lot and-
- Oh, also that Nathan and Aiden
were wearing matching necklaces.
Everything is both harder and easier
than I expected it to be.
So it's like a lot of like the mechanics of like,
I have three under three.
So like putting them
into the car- - Oh my God.
- Just like- (group laughing)
so difficult. - Yeah.
- But then everyone's like, "Oh, how are you
like doing bedtimes and stuff and it's like I..." (chuckles)
(bell ringing) (screen whooshes)
(tense music)
- He was just carrying the baby kind of like sitting down
instead of just putting it to the side.
- I voted for Nathan because I just didn't get
that dad energy from him,
from somebody who would've had their kids so young
and gone through all the things that dads do go through
for the first time.
(buzzer buzzing)
- Surprise because I thought it was gonna be Elijah,
but they all voted for us 'cause Austyn voted,
Austyn's son voted for us.
- For those of you who were at the birth of your child
or for those of you who were there for part
of the pregnancy, what was that experience like for you?
- For her?
'Cause you know, first kid,
you take all those classes and things.
We did like hypnosis classes- (baby cooing)
to help mom get through it. (person chuckles)
And when the day happened, none of it happened,
the way that we trained for it, it didn't happen that way.
And I was getting yelled at and she was screaming.
I was just trying to be- (Dominick chuckles)
nice and quiet and just whatever you need. (claps)
And she was like, "I need you to go away."
I'm like, "Okay." (person laughs)
- Isn't faint? - No, no fainting.
- I got up close. (baby sobs)
I didn't realize it until they were focused on her.
I'm so focused on her and every doctor in the room
is looking at me and I'm like, "Hey, like game time."
(Nickie chuckles)
And they're like, "Are you okay?"
And I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."
Then I sat down and realized like, "Oh no, I'm not."
- Yeah, you have to play it off four.
- Yeah. - Four.
- 'Cause if I'm going like- - Yeah.
- It's her time to shine. (baby cooing)
- Yeah. - I gotta sit back-
- Right. - Do be the supportive dad.
- So I wasn't there for pregnancies
because I was stepparent and foster.
But I will say when I was in the process
of like dating a guy with kids,
I Google searched, like, gay stepdad,
like looking for books.
(audio warbling)
- Oh. (group chattering)
- Yes. - Not do that.
(group laughing) (group chattering)
- Beep. (group laughing)
- You must baby. You must. (person chuckles)
- I was frontline, shout out my girlfriend.
She was pushing- (Austyn chuckles)
and it didn't seem like she was,
so all the doctors are like, "Good push, good push."
And I was like, "Really?"
- Yeah, that's the thing, it's like everybody always talks
about the yelling noise. (group laughing)
Like, you see it in the movies.
Ah. (baby cooing)
But the reality is when they're pushing,
it's more like. (imitates squealing)
(baby cooing)
- I was like, "Are you doing anything?"
- Yeah. - Like, good job on our baby.
- During the pregnancy stage.
So I was 19 so I was a sophomore in college
and that was probably the most difficult part
because I was in a fraternity too
and they were all going out
and everybody was doing their thing and I was so left out.
- Is that your dad?
- Yes, that's my dad. (group laughing)
His name is Nathan.
I kind of had some beef with Dominick
'cause he was all asking me questions like,
"Are you sure, he's your dad?"
I was like, "Yes, I'm sure he is my dad."
Yeah. - You know your dad's name.
- Yeah. - That's a good story.
- He's 27 years old.
- His relationship with Aiden seems more of one
of two brothers. (baby cooing)
You just kind of see in the way they interact,
the way they look at each other.
- Tell him why do we even come here?
You don't even know why fully?
- Yeah, you need to pay taxes and stuff.
(group laughing)
- What's your earliest memory of your dad?
Earliest thing you remember?
- [Nickie] You can. You can.
- I remember like him,
like, trying to make me laugh
but that wouldn't really work with me.
(group laughing)
- Oh. I'm funny.
- Something was off about him.
He just wasn't really communicating with his daughter.
(group laughing)
- Give us your dad joke. (chuckles)
- Oh man, yeah, I'm not funny. (group laughing)
- That was pretty funny. (group laughing)
- You know when a joke becomes a dad joke, right?
When you becomes a parent.
- [All] Oh.
- Okay. That was a good one. (group laughing)
- All right. How about you?
What's your favorite memory with your dad?
- (exhales noisily) So I was with my mom a lot
that basically whole entire week
and I was able to see my new baby sister
and I finally saw her.
- Oh. (Austyn chuckles)
- I was excited. - Oh.
(group laughing)
- Let me spend most of the time with you guys, it's awesome.
(buzzer buzzing)
- I think you can find out who's the fake daddy.
- Well, subscribe to the channel to find out.
Now, let's get back to the video.
(tense music)
- It was like the body language.
I saw the kid pat Nathan on the back and I was like,
"Ooh, now we didn't like that."
- Just seemed to me like Aiden answered.
Like that was really his dad.
So that made me question my whole thing.
And then at the last minute when we go up to vote, I'm like,
"Ah, I don't think it's Nathan anymore."
So that's why I wrote down Nickie.
(buzzer buzzing)
- I'm like... (group laughing)
- [Moderator] If everyone feels confident
that you already caught the mole, you can end the game now.
But if the majority has doubt, the game will continue.
Please raise your hand if you want
to continue playing the game.
- Oh, continue playing. - You got them.
(upbeat music)
- [Moderator] That's two out of five.
Okay, so we will not continue the game.
If the lights turn green, you have voted the mole out
and you win.
If the lights turn red, the liar's still in the square,
and you lost. - Please.
- [Moderator] Three, two, one.
(tense music)
- Yes. - Yes.
- Yeah. - Let's go.
- We did it. We did. (person chuckles)
- Let's go. Let's go. (group laughing)
- [Moderator] On the count of three.
If the mole can step forward and reveal himself
along with his partner in crime.
Three.
Two.
One.
(intense music)
(Aiden laughs) (group laughing)
- It was nice. Well done.
- Good job, guys. (group clapping)
- Good job. - That's really close.
- Hi, I messed up. (chuckles) - Yeah.
I knew you were gonna let me down
from the beginning- (Nathan laughs)
I was like, I was trying so hard
but I knew like a 27 year old-
- (laughs) Is it my fault, the whole thing?
- The 27 year old, he's just gonna let me down.
- (laughs) Thank you. - Thank you.
- We practice for a way longer than I want to admit,
so we had a lot of fun.
- How are you guys related? Are you related or?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- We're brothers. - We're brothers.
- We're brothers. (group chattering)
You put in the hot seat. (group laughing)
But you're good, it look like you're in hot seat.
- He was got me at taxes though.
- Yeah. (baby coos)
- I had my intuition from the beginning.
And guess, dad brains a thing. (baby cooing)
Yeah.
- I felt very happy.
- No, it was exciting.
Held it together good.
- I would hope that people see this
and just see how many different kinds of fathers there are.
- That's a lot of what fatherhood is,
is trying to figure things out and every kid is different
and you're a different person too.
- I think the one thing all dads do have in common though
is undeniable love for their kid.
And anybody who has that is capable of being a dad
and is a dad in some way.
- We did it. - Whoo.
- Yeah. (group cheering)
- Wow. (group laughing)
- Cool. (intense music)
