Dre's Not Sure He Can Handle a Vegan Son - black-ish

[0:01]Okay, what's wrong, Dre, huh? Has a ruptured Achilles sent someone back to the hood? No. Jack went vegan. Like Scott King, Bill Clinton, and my barber? What? he's in pretty good company. My barber stormed the beach at Normandy. Last year. He's being ridiculous, and the worst part about it, Bo thinks it's a good idea for him. She thinks it's good for his independence. Well then you tell Bo that she's going to be the one to have to buy him a bra when he starts developing breasts from eating all that soy. Exactly. Did he meet a girl? I went vegan once for a girl. We weren't dating or anything. She just asked me to do it over email. I was more of a newsletter she sent out with lifestyle tips. It was Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop. But after a few days, I realized it was manlier to eat meat, so it was a meat eater. Pathetic. I myself went vegan for a few years by accident. Years? Yes. In 2006, I came into a cargo container full of bacon bits. How I got that container? It's not important. What is important is that those bits kept me alive for two years. Long story short, the nurse at the hospital told me that bacon bits are vegan. I don't think that's true. Also, if you eat nothing but salad toppings without salad, your liver starts to beat. Okay, none of this makes any sense, right? First of all, okay, meat is delicious. Jack is doing this just to spite you. just got a paternity test just to spite me. And just despite him, I gave him my brother's DNA. So, things are needlessly complicated right now. Okay, look, this isn't spite. He's my dude. He's just easily influenced. You know, I'm going to put my foot down and get things back to normal. I don't know, I tread lightly there, Dre. The more you push back on this, the more likely Jack is to dig his heels in. Conner. He wanted to be a fireman and I said no. You know what he did? He set a factory on fire just so he could put it out. What? That fire burned for seven days and uh, it also took down the birthplace of Willa Cather. Oh, pioneer. The point is, Dre, Connor was just being rebellious. That's all he was. And if I had just backed off or even if I had encouraged him, he just would have gotten bored and moved on to the next thing. Maybe you're right. Yeah. You know, if I leave it alone, this vegan thing will go in the closet next to his old karate outfits and the saxophone. Exactly. It'll all work out, Dre. Just like it all worked out for us. Less so for those uh, those garment workers in the factory. And you just can't find those shirts anymore. The guys were right. All I had to do was let Jack run out of steam and things would be back to normal. Jack! I'm powering up the pay-per-view for the fight. Let's go. Dad, I don't eat meat. Hey, hey, hey, son. These are vegan barbecue wings, all right? Textured tofu wrapped around a wooden stick. Expertly coated in vegan barbecue sauce. Wow, that's so cool that you're open to giving vegan wings a shot. Oh no. Oh no. Those are all for you. Ah, there's my dinner right there. Will it in here, son? Oh, snap! This smells amazing! Oh, and we've got the fight on. I'm so glad I canceled plans with Olivia tonight. This is going to be awesome! Okay, hey, hey, hey, just park it right there and leave the room. I just, I just drove two hours to get all this. If you leave the room now, I might save you some burnt ends. My clothes smell all smoky.
