- Hey guys, how're you doing?
It's Cory here, and I just want you to know
the baby is here.
We can't wait for you to meet her.
We're so excited.
I mean, this is a beautiful blessing to our family
and to the world and we can't wait to share it with you.

What I'm looking forward to most of having a daughter
is just rubbing on her face, you know, her hair.
I've always had a vision of riding in my car
and she's in the backseat.
She has little barrettes in her hair
and wow, it's just like makes me almost wanna tear up
just thinkin' about those moments.
The softness and calmness of a girl,
you know, that's what I hear.
And I heard that she'll really like get in my heart
so I'm looking forward to that.
(bouncy music)
Hard work, integrity, discipline,
and just being respectful, you know,
respecting your elders.
Instilling in them that you can be anything
in this world that you want to be,
as long as you have a good heart,
you work hard, you treat people kind,
you treat 'em how you wanna be treated,
and that's what we touch our son today
and I'm gonna teach that to my daughter.
And Tia as well.
And you know, be centered, you know,
have strong faith, and just believe in yourself.

Celebrity is what everyone sees when we step
out of the house, but in the house,
we're just regular people.
And to me, when I step out into the world,
I'm just a regular, normal person.
You know, I go places by myself.
Nothing has changed, it's just kinda like
if you change your thoughts to like,
"I'm this celebrity," then you'll attract that attention.
But if you just say, "Hey, I'm regular
"and I'm blessed to do what I do for a living
"with my job and I'm very grateful and thankful,"
and that's the way me and Tia keeps it,
you know, everything grounds itself out.
You know, stay simple, and you just keep dreaming
and going forward.
(bouncy music)
I would say Tia because, look, I've got stories for you.
Cree, he can't come to me trying to get cookies
or snacks in the pantry and then it's just like
he'll go run to Tia and then they'll sneak to the pantry
and then I'll go check on them and he's in there,
eating cookies with her.
Then when I catch 'em, he's like,
like Daddy caught me.
And Tia's like, you know, she gives him everything
that he asks for.
But I would say Tia's the one.
(bouncy music)
You know what?
We will be there to support 'em every step of the way
because you know, if this is what they wanna do
and this is what's in their heart,
we'll make sure that those dreams can come to fruition.
We're not the parents where we're gonna force you
to be in the business.
It's all about what he wants to do,
you know, what he's great at,
and what he loves to do,
and he will do something productive and positive
with his life, I can tell you that.
(bouncy music)
Tia has structure, she has discipline with everything.
Tia has a calendar.
Tia writes down her stuff properly.
She pays the bills on time (laughing).
Everything is like right with Tia, by the book,
and I've learned a lot from my wife on that structure.
I'm just kinda passionate.
You know, sometimes I'm all over the place,
but I mean well and it's just kinda like
we bring it together, you know what I'm saying?
And we make it work.
Yeah, I've learned a lot from my wife,
my lovely wife, yeah.
(bouncy music)
You've gotta have patience with your kids,
especially having a boy because, you know,
they will test you, you know.
And you have to remember that they are a child,
you gotta just, you know what,
I'm gonna have patience with them.
Kids, you know, they're very emotional at that young age
and you have to be careful in what you say to your children.
And me and Tia, we make sure that
we don't try to be too, too tough on them
but still discipline Cree as parents.
So I would just say have a lot of patience
with your kids and just good ol' tender, lovin' care.
(bouncy music)
I knew that I wanted to give my son a name
that started with the initial C which is for Cory,
and so Tia let me look up some names
and what happened was I wanted to give him
a name of strength.
So I started looking up like Greek names,
powerful names, so I went through the list
and then I started looking down.
Then, Cree, I was like, wow, that sounds really cool, right?
So I looked up the meaning and the meaning was,
you know, a traveler's warrior.
And I was just like, wow, that's pretty powerful.
So I went through looking at all the Cs
and I would always come back to Cree,
you know, Cree, and I was like,
I got my little traveler's warrior's name.
The middle name, Taylor, was the initial for Tia, the T.
Cree Taylor Hardrict.
(bouncy music)
The initial starts with a C and I'm not gonna tell you.
But it's in the same meaning, like the same lines
of our son's name, Cree,
and you know, this name process, it was the same,
it stood out and it stuck with me
as I kept going and looking through names
and I was like, bam, Tia, here's the name,
and Tia was like, "This is the name."
(bouncy music)
We prepared Cree because he knows
he has a responsibility of being a big brother,
being a protector, providing for his little sister,
and he's up for it.
He's really excited.
Cree is ready to be a big brother.
He's gonna be the best big brother in the world.
(bouncy music)
We worked together before and who knows?
I would love to work with my wife again.
She is an amazing actress.
I think she's very underrated, you know?
And hey, who knows what the future may hold?
So I love working with my wife.
(bouncy music)
Thank you guys for all your questions.
I had a great time answering them.
I'm really excited for what's coming up next
because my buddies, Arlen Escarpeta and JJ Soria
from our hit show called The Oath on Crackle,
will be here and we're gonna be cooking our rib recipe.
Hey, you know what?
We're cops but we can cook (laughing).
Stay tuned.
