One of the doc's more sober moments came when David Flair was asked about how his father's debauchery affected his upbringing.

David candidly said, "I do get angry when I do think about it like, 'What are you doing? Why would you do that or wanna live like that?' I think you can be great at what you do, but as a husband and a father, how could you ever neglect your kids like that? And having kids now, that's tough. I don't want my kids to grow up the way I did, that's for sure."

It's clear from David's stoic demeanour that his father's absence has had a significant impact on him, but at least he seems committed not to repeat his mistakes.
