"I feel bad about Syko Stu and his family. His family had to see that sh*t. You know what I'm saying? I wish I could have been there, but I couldn't... I'm doing what any father would do, being a father in hard moments like this. Sometimes you're proud of your kids, and sometimes you're not proud of your kids, but at the end of the day, you're still a father."
