Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hey, coming up, I want to talk about that other
article that I sent you out of the New York Post, Gandhi.
Oh yeah, about how Generation Z they're going to TikTok
to learn how to be adults.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
What a place to learn, Yes, but it's when you're
talking about learning to be an adult. You're not talking
about doing your taxes and that kind of stuff. You're
talking about making a.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Bed, yeah, making a bed, steaming rice, yes, right, doing that,
and doing laundry stuff like that. I just, uh, why
are they not being taught? Why are people not being
taught how to do that? Because their mom and dad
just aren't good parents. I guess that's why it.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Does really seem like a huge parenting fail. But I'm
not a parent, so I don't. I don't. I know
people don't want to hear that from me. But I
can't imagine having a grown child that doesn't know how
to do laundry or.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Make right.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I know lots of kids that don't know how to
do law. That's why make rice.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
That's insane, people, If you're not doing your kids any
service by doing.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
This, My kids know how to make rice. Thank goodness,
the rice cooker, I just take it down from the
top show.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
No, I'm kidding. There's lots of different ways to make
rice as well. Why do we get the sixty second?
Speaker 5 (01:16):
Yes nowadays, But laundry is very important. You have to
teach them, especially especially before they go to college, because
let me tell you something, if they're not doing their
laundry in college, that's disgusting.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Make a bed, yeah, come.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Or load a dishwasher. Yes, I mean you didn't even
have to wash the dish The dishwasher does for you what.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
I'm forty nine, I was still stuggle with the dishwashers.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You got to fix that. We got to to do this.
But we'll get into that in a minute. And if
we can find adulting one on one courses on TikTok
specifically for gen z whatever. But they say we're talking
about this during a song earlier. They're saying, if you
find someone who's like a troubled human being, you go
back to their grandparents. That's where the trouble started, because
(02:00):
grandparents raised their kids in a way that was not
effective for effectively teaching them how to do things in
life or to cope with struggle. Then those kids had kids,
and then those kids they had are just the most
rotten of kids. Wow, can't do anything for himself. And
I'm not saying because you can't load a dishwasher, you're
(02:20):
a rotten person. But you know, we could get deeper
into this in a minute. So what does this time
you searched for something like this? How to use a mop?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Scary? If you had to mop the floor today, would
you know how to mop the floor?
Speaker 8 (02:40):
Just visually? Maybe basically?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
But what a koinnd of answer is that.
Speaker 9 (02:47):
My memory would serve I'm like, how did I used
to see other people doing it?
Speaker 8 (02:51):
And I would try and mimic that in my head.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
All Right, I got a question, Yeah, scary. When's the
last time you actually used a mop?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Years ago?
Speaker 8 (03:00):
Hire someone for that?
Speaker 5 (03:02):
You don't keep up with it in between when that
person comes, Nah.
Speaker 8 (03:06):
Little swiffer. I do a little swiffer and done. But
I don't mop? No, but I would. I would google it.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Sure, swiffers make it so much easier. I mean I
if I handed you a mop and a bucket, what
would you do?
Speaker 8 (03:19):
I dip it. I would dip the mop into what
into the into the water part?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, it's an empty bucket, and would.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
Like whatever soap or whatever it is and water.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Okay, then and whatever you're gonna pour whatever it is
into the well.
Speaker 8 (03:34):
Whatever or something, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (03:37):
And then I would just dip the tip into the
mop and then I would I would wring it out
in the thing with the handle on it, and I
would squeeze the thing to ring and then I would
mop the floor.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
All right, and then I would do this repeat.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay, okay, I think you can actually mop the floor. Then,
from what you've told us, it seems like you could.
Speaker 8 (03:56):
That's how I would do it without googling.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Okay, So how about an oil change? How can you
guys do an oil change?
Speaker 9 (04:04):
Yes, yeah, but it's hard to You got to take
the oil somewhere.
Speaker 8 (04:08):
I could do it.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I can put the dipstick in and see if it
needs oil or like I do that.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I don't know yourself to change it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
But you know how to check your oil?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah, yeah, I can check it.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Okay, do you check it while the injured's running or
it's been on for a while. When's the best time
to check?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I think it is when the engine is running, well,
it's it's been run. Oh, you're supposed to turn it off?
Speaker 8 (04:31):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Point your oil checked, Elvis, Here we go. What are
you getting at here? Just keep going? Never mind, No, no,
I want to investigate where you're going with that. You
don't I know where you're going with that. You say, okay, okay,
checking your oil. I don't know. My whole point is this.
(04:57):
There's a couple of articles out today. There's one here
in the New York Post googling for everyday life skills.
And there's nothing wrong with that, but it's kind of
interesting to me that a lot of people don't know
how to do all of the things we just described.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I think technology has taken over, and if you don't
have access to it, people get stuck. I was at
someone's house not long ago, and their child was in
the shower, didn't have a towel. Oh, started screaming at Siri.
Siri helped me, I don't have a towel, over and
over and I was just listening to it, kind of
laughing because I was like, is this for real, Sirih's
(05:32):
not going to get you a towel to like what.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Is going on?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yes, but the amount of time that she stood in
that bathroom yelling for help from Siri to get a towel,
as opposed to stepping out of the tub drip, you know,
dripping your way to get the towel.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Yeah, drying off with your clothes, doing something.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Oh my gosh, she just stood there frozen, And I
think that happens a lot more now than any of
us want to accept.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Her cowl is crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Okay, Line nineteen is Jody see what she was talking about? Jody?
Do you know how to do laundry? I do now, Well,
so when did you learn how to do laundry?
Speaker 10 (06:11):
I learned how to do laundry after I got married.
My husband had to teach me how to do it
because I never did it up until then.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Never. You never never put clothing into a washing machine
and then when they were done, you put them into
a dryer. Never did it, So how may I ask?
How come?
Speaker 10 (06:31):
Well? I grew up in a household where we sent
our laundry out every week and had done outside the home,
and that's why I never learned how to do laundry.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Okay, so your husband. When you told your husband you
didn't know how to do laundry, did you look at
you like you had three heads or was he like, okay.
Speaker 10 (06:53):
Pretty much he was. He was a very very self
sufficient guy. He lived on his own, his mother's waughter him.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Right.
Speaker 10 (07:01):
I guess he could cook, he could clean, he could
do laundry.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
He's great.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Yeah, yeah, I have to.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Do laundry at a very early age. And uh, but
you know what, when I was a kid, they taught you, well,
you can't. You can't wash your your colors with your
whites and this, and then I put them all together.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Because I do.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I think we should. We should live in a world
where we all get along.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
It does dull those whites stuff.
Speaker 10 (07:29):
Yeah, I do everything all together. But I made sure
that my kids knew how to do laundry.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, okay, there you go. See that's that's your Yeah,
that's a good thing. That's a good turn of events.
All right, Jody, thank you for listening to us, and
I hope you.
Speaker 10 (07:41):
Have a great day. Thanks to taking Michael.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Thanks well, thank you for listening. So Ghana, you sent
me that story. They this is from Vice gen Z
is taking adulting one on one classes because no one
taught them how to do life. Have you read this yet,
I haven't read it.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, yeah, I did go through it, so it says,
you know, there's some of the bigger things like what
is a credit score and how is an interest rate work?
And things like that, but there's also how do you
make a bed, how do you make rice?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
How do you drive?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Do you know how many people are not driving anymore?
The age is going up and up and up with
people actually getting a driver's license. How do you fold
a fitted sheet? I mean, there's just how do you
do laundry? There's so much that people just don't know
how to do the basics because their parents are doing
everything for them. And I also read that a huge
part of this has to do with your parents always
wanting to give you more than what they had, and
(08:33):
they get self esteem from giving you everything. But by
gaining self esteem by doing that, you're taking away your
child self esteem when you don't let them fail and
you don't teach them how to do stuff for themselves.
And that's why we have sort of like a stunted
generation at the moment that doesn't know how to do
all these things that other people did know how to
do Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Interesting. So okay, and I kind of mentioned this earlier.
My parent I'm saying, for example, the people you're talking about,
my parents wanted me to have an easier life than
they had, so they did everything for me. Therefore I
don't know how to do anything right. Absolutely, Yeah, So
why did they do that?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I think they wanted to So in the article that
I read, it said that there was a combination of
one wanting to give your kids much better. But now
that social media is here and people feel this need
to flex on what a good parent they are and
show all the things they're always doing for their kids
that they're again, they're building their ego up by doing it,
and they're crushing their children.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So why is their ego so deflated? Is that a
problem with their parents?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Good question.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
If my parents spoiled the hell out of me because
they wanted to help their own ego, is it because
their parents failed them. I'm just trying to Maybe I'm
going too far to this, I don't know, but I'll
tell you what.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
So Diamond has a really interesting take on this because
Diamond says she is a spoiled child and she's upset
about having been spoiled because of all the things that
she found out too late in life.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Well's talk to her, diamond. So you admit that you
are a spoiled child and it and it kind of
pisses you off a little bit. So you don't know
how to do many things in life that you should
have learned how to do because you're spoiled.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Well, I learned how to do them. I just feel
like I learned how to do them a little late.
Like my parents would remember, I got in trouble once
in school and I got suspended, and that was when
they were like, you're gonna do your laundry on your own,
and you're gonna do this, and you're gonna do that.
And I was like, now that I look back on it,
and I'm like, I should have been doing these things.
It wasn't like it shouldn't have been a punishment, you
(10:33):
know what I mean. But what Gandhi said makes so
much sense because my dad was always like when I
was grown up, he was always like, I got you,
don't worry, Daddy can do it. And I'm like, oh,
that's so sweet, and you're excited because like you're my
dad loves me. But then, you know, I don't think
he realized that he was doing me a disservice, Like
I don't know how to cook that well well.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And that's so unusual, and the fitted sheet thing is
a bad, bad thing.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I don't know how to do that. I get so frustrated.
I roll it up in a ball and shove it in.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
But Donna said she didn't even make her bed until
I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Know, Yeah, I didn't make I didn't start making my
bed until uh, maybe senior year of high school. But yeah,
so my grandmother used to do it for me after
she retired.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
She she just like.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
She wanted to do things around the house. And then
I left a really big mess in my room and
she tripped over something and almost fell, and she has
not been back in my room. Yeah, so that.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Forced me to start making him.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
We always say in our house that it really starts
your day off on the right foot when you make
your bed, so.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
We always try to tell the cause.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
And Spencer makes it like military style now that he's
you know, at college, like he makes a better bed
than if yeh, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
You did not you saw that in a movie.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
You did not know the mother did not make you
do that.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Puppy toe because he was in the armies.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Bout a quarter off theo.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
What My dad was like that too. If I had things,
I had to put things away. So if I played
with toys or whatever, I did things, I always had
to put things back. If I didn't, my dad would
take it, it'd be gone. So then I would say, hey,
has anybody seen my whatever? He's like, did you put
it back this time? You used it? No, I don't
(12:17):
know where it is. It'd be gone. I've never seen
it again. So I learned to put my crap away
if I wanted to see it again. That's how my dad.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Will Scary, did you ever learn how to fix a flat?
Because remember we had a competition between Scary and Danielle.
He never could fix the He never could change a tire,
but Danielle changed it in the record time.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
Danielle beat me.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
Now, theoretically, I know you got to loosen the love
nuts before you jack the car up, but I've never.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Been through the process in order to see if I
can do it or not. I've never fixed a flat
to this day.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I know it said you call somebody to do that.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
Yeah, BMW resit Hello.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
They don't answer. Your phone doesn't work?
Speaker 8 (12:55):
You get me? That happened once?
Speaker 7 (12:56):
No, I just kept bringing.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
Wait, what happened?
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Need to fix my flat? I've got to get home
so the housekeeper can mop the floors.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Wait, scary, cut, scary, So BMW roadside assistant and pick
up your call. What did you do?
Speaker 6 (13:12):
God?
Speaker 8 (13:12):
What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
It was?
Speaker 8 (13:14):
It was ghostly.
Speaker 9 (13:16):
It was on the side of the parkway and I'm
literally sitting there and it's I pick up, pick up,
pick up, and it's ring and it's ring, and I'm like,
they told me to just press this button.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
In the sun roof and then the.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Voice would come on it never never.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
When I got through them, I gave them a piece
of my mind.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I said, I bet you don't you understand I'm missing
my reservation at Dot Energy. You don't get it?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Down there at BMWUS says, who the hell's running that place?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Scary?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
That's so funny. Bill is online, E team. Let's let's
see what Bill has to say. Then we'll move on
with our lives. High Bill, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Oh Paul, my name is Paul.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Good morning. What did you do with Bill?
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Where?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Where's Bill? Okay, okay, we'll talk to you instead. So, Paul,
what did you want to add to this?
Speaker 6 (14:08):
So you know, I think life skills are a huge thing.
And when you get married, you learn one set of
life skills, but when you become a parent, there's a
whole new set of life skills you have to learn.
Like I remember when my daughter was born, just trying
to figure out how to put the car seat in
the car and lock it in. That's a life skill
that nobody knows until you become a parent. They don't
teach you that in free Kata, right.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
I see.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
The thing is Scary drives a car with tires, so
he should know how to change a tire if he
had to. But he doesn't have kids, so you don't
have to really have to learn how to walk in
a writer's seat a kid's seat, do you I.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
Mean no, I can't.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Changing a tire though, that's a huge thing. I mean,
you got to keep you know, the more you get,
you know in life, and you don't have the BMW
service and you have to change your tires like regular
smoke Joe. It takes a long time to figure that out.
Like every time I drive on the tar Pike. I'm like, oh,
that guy, he doesn't know how to change a tire.
You had a close roadside assistant. I look at him like,
how did you not learn that?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh that was scary that you saw on the side
of the road. But Bill, right, you know, with kids
in your life, that is a whole new, massive book
of new things you have to learn, because Gandhi and
I will never have to know those.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Well, just cleaning up after yourself. You could let your
kid destroy the house and then you can leave it
to the next day or they'll trip over it. So
you have to learn how to be sufficient and keep
everything nice and neat. You have to learn how to
pre make meals so this way they are not screaming,
Oh I want dinner right now. I have to clean,
I have to cook, I have to do this. There's
when you become a parent life skills. There is something
that I TikTok is never going to teach you. You
(15:42):
have to either YouTube is actually a great thing. I
would go with YouTube over TikTok any day of the week.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Okay, all right, well, good Bill, thanks for pointing that out.
I appreciate it. You'll have a great day and listen
every day. Just do me a favor. Turn this on
every day. I'll be very happy with you.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
Okay, oh every morning, and scare if I can tell you, neat,
tell your mother get a tune up. Her car sounds
like it's sucking air and she needs a full tune up.
It's an air filter, spark tugs, a belt, she needs all.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
That, all right, Thank god, it sounds like your mother.
I was listening to your mother. It sounds like she's
sucking their Hi. Bill, thank you very much, I do,
I hear you. Thanks for listening to it. Bill.

Speaker 8 (03:19):
I dip it. I would dip the mop into what
into the into the water part?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, it's an empty bucket, and would.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
Like whatever soap or whatever it is and water.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Okay, then and whatever you're gonna pour whatever it is
into the well.
Speaker 8 (03:34):
Whatever or something, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (03:37):
And then I would just dip the tip into the
mop and then I would I would wring it out
in the thing with the handle on it, and I
would squeeze the thing to ring and then I would
mop the floor.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
All right, and then I would do this repeat.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay, okay, I think you can actually mop the floor. Then,
from what you've told us, it seems like you could.
Speaker 8 (03:56):
That's how I would do it without googling.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Okay, So how about an oil change? How can you
guys do an oil change?
Speaker 9 (04:04):
Yes, yeah, but it's hard to You got to take
the oil somewhere.
Speaker 8 (04:08):
I could do it.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I can put the dipstick in and see if it
needs oil or like I do that.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I don't know yourself to change it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
But you know how to check your oil?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah, yeah, I can check it.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Okay, do you check it while the injured's running or
it's been on for a while. When's the best time
to check?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I think it is when the engine is running, well,
it's it's been run. Oh, you're supposed to turn it off?
Speaker 8 (04:31):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Point your oil checked, Elvis, Here we go. What are
you getting at here? Just keep going? Never mind, No, no,
I want to investigate where you're going with that. You
don't I know where you're going with that. You say, okay, okay,
checking your oil. I don't know. My whole point is this.
(04:57):
There's a couple of articles out today. There's one here
in the New York Post googling for everyday life skills.
And there's nothing wrong with that, but it's kind of
interesting to me that a lot of people don't know
how to do all of the things we just described.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I think technology has taken over, and if you don't
have access to it, people get stuck. I was at
someone's house not long ago, and their child was in
the shower, didn't have a towel. Oh, started screaming at Siri.
Siri helped me, I don't have a towel, over and
over and I was just listening to it, kind of
laughing because I was like, is this for real, Sirih's
(05:32):
not going to get you a towel to like what.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Is going on?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yes, but the amount of time that she stood in
that bathroom yelling for help from Siri to get a towel,
as opposed to stepping out of the tub drip, you know,
dripping your way to get the towel.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Yeah, drying off with your clothes, doing something.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Oh my gosh, she just stood there frozen, And I
think that happens a lot more now than any of
us want to accept.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Her cowl is crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Okay, Line nineteen is Jody see what she was talking about? Jody?
Do you know how to do laundry? I do now, Well,
so when did you learn how to do laundry?
Speaker 10 (06:11):
I learned how to do laundry after I got married.
My husband had to teach me how to do it
because I never did it up until then.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Never. You never never put clothing into a washing machine
and then when they were done, you put them into
a dryer. Never did it, So how may I ask?
How come?
Speaker 10 (06:31):
Well? I grew up in a household where we sent
our laundry out every week and had done outside the home,
and that's why I never learned how to do laundry.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Okay, so your husband. When you told your husband you
didn't know how to do laundry, did you look at
you like you had three heads or was he like, okay.
Speaker 10 (06:53):
Pretty much he was. He was a very very self
sufficient guy. He lived on his own, his mother's waughter him.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Right.
Speaker 10 (07:01):
I guess he could cook, he could clean, he could
do laundry.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
He's great.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Yeah, yeah, I have to.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Do laundry at a very early age. And uh, but
you know what, when I was a kid, they taught you, well,
you can't. You can't wash your your colors with your
whites and this, and then I put them all together.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Because I do.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I think we should. We should live in a world
where we all get along.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
It does dull those whites stuff.
Speaker 10 (07:29):
Yeah, I do everything all together. But I made sure
that my kids knew how to do laundry.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, okay, there you go. See that's that's your Yeah,
that's a good thing. That's a good turn of events.
All right, Jody, thank you for listening to us, and
I hope you.
Speaker 10 (07:41):
Have a great day. Thanks to taking Michael.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Thanks well, thank you for listening. So Ghana, you sent
me that story. They this is from Vice gen Z
is taking adulting one on one classes because no one
taught them how to do life. Have you read this yet,
I haven't read it.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, yeah, I did go through it, so it says,
you know, there's some of the bigger things like what
is a credit score and how is an interest rate work?
And things like that, but there's also how do you
make a bed, how do you make rice?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
How do you drive?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Do you know how many people are not driving anymore?
The age is going up and up and up with
people actually getting a driver's license. How do you fold
a fitted sheet? I mean, there's just how do you
do laundry? There's so much that people just don't know
how to do the basics because their parents are doing
everything for them. And I also read that a huge
part of this has to do with your parents always
wanting to give you more than what they had, and
(08:33):
they get self esteem from giving you everything. But by
gaining self esteem by doing that, you're taking away your
child self esteem when you don't let them fail and
you don't teach them how to do stuff for themselves.
And that's why we have sort of like a stunted
generation at the moment that doesn't know how to do
all these things that other people did know how to
do Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Interesting. So okay, and I kind of mentioned this earlier.
My parent I'm saying, for example, the people you're talking about,
my parents wanted me to have an easier life than
they had, so they did everything for me. Therefore I
don't know how to do anything right. Absolutely, Yeah, So
why did they do that?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I think they wanted to So in the article that
I read, it said that there was a combination of
one wanting to give your kids much better. But now
that social media is here and people feel this need
to flex on what a good parent they are and
show all the things they're always doing for their kids
that they're again, they're building their ego up by doing it,
and they're crushing their children.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So why is their ego so deflated? Is that a
problem with their parents?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Good question.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
If my parents spoiled the hell out of me because
they wanted to help their own ego, is it because
their parents failed them. I'm just trying to Maybe I'm
going too far to this, I don't know, but I'll
tell you what.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
So Diamond has a really interesting take on this because
Diamond says she is a spoiled child and she's upset
about having been spoiled because of all the things that
she found out too late in life.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Well's talk to her, diamond. So you admit that you
are a spoiled child and it and it kind of
pisses you off a little bit. So you don't know
how to do many things in life that you should
have learned how to do because you're spoiled.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Well, I learned how to do them. I just feel
like I learned how to do them a little late.
Like my parents would remember, I got in trouble once
in school and I got suspended, and that was when
they were like, you're gonna do your laundry on your own,
and you're gonna do this, and you're gonna do that.
And I was like, now that I look back on it,
and I'm like, I should have been doing these things.
It wasn't like it shouldn't have been a punishment, you
(10:33):
know what I mean. But what Gandhi said makes so
much sense because my dad was always like when I
was grown up, he was always like, I got you,
don't worry, Daddy can do it. And I'm like, oh,
that's so sweet, and you're excited because like you're my
dad loves me. But then, you know, I don't think
he realized that he was doing me a disservice, Like
I don't know how to cook that well well.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And that's so unusual, and the fitted sheet thing is
a bad, bad thing.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I don't know how to do that. I get so frustrated.
I roll it up in a ball and shove it in.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
But Donna said she didn't even make her bed until
I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Know, Yeah, I didn't make I didn't start making my
bed until uh, maybe senior year of high school. But yeah,
so my grandmother used to do it for me after
she retired.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
She she just like.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
She wanted to do things around the house. And then
I left a really big mess in my room and
she tripped over something and almost fell, and she has
not been back in my room. Yeah, so that.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Forced me to start making him.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
We always say in our house that it really starts
your day off on the right foot when you make
your bed, so.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
We always try to tell the cause.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
And Spencer makes it like military style now that he's
you know, at college, like he makes a better bed
than if yeh, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
You did not you saw that in a movie.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
You did not know the mother did not make you
do that.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Puppy toe because he was in the armies.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Bout a quarter off theo.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
What My dad was like that too. If I had things,
I had to put things away. So if I played
with toys or whatever, I did things, I always had
to put things back. If I didn't, my dad would
take it, it'd be gone. So then I would say, hey,
has anybody seen my whatever? He's like, did you put
it back this time? You used it? No, I don't
(12:17):
know where it is. It'd be gone. I've never seen
it again. So I learned to put my crap away
if I wanted to see it again. That's how my dad.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Will Scary, did you ever learn how to fix a flat?
Because remember we had a competition between Scary and Danielle.
He never could fix the He never could change a tire,
but Danielle changed it in the record time.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
Danielle beat me.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
Now, theoretically, I know you got to loosen the love
nuts before you jack the car up, but I've never.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Been through the process in order to see if I
can do it or not. I've never fixed a flat
to this day.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I know it said you call somebody to do that.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
Yeah, BMW resit Hello.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
They don't answer. Your phone doesn't work?
Speaker 8 (12:55):
You get me? That happened once?
Speaker 7 (12:56):
No, I just kept bringing.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
Wait, what happened?
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Need to fix my flat? I've got to get home
so the housekeeper can mop the floors.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Wait, scary, cut, scary, So BMW roadside assistant and pick
up your call. What did you do?
Speaker 6 (13:12):
God?
Speaker 8 (13:12):
What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
It was?
Speaker 8 (13:14):
It was ghostly.
Speaker 9 (13:16):
It was on the side of the parkway and I'm
literally sitting there and it's I pick up, pick up,
pick up, and it's ring and it's ring, and I'm like,
they told me to just press this button.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
In the sun roof and then the.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Voice would come on it never never.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
When I got through them, I gave them a piece
of my mind.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I said, I bet you don't you understand I'm missing
my reservation at Dot Energy. You don't get it?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Down there at BMWUS says, who the hell's running that place?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Scary?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
That's so funny. Bill is online, E team. Let's let's
see what Bill has to say. Then we'll move on
with our lives. High Bill, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Oh Paul, my name is Paul.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Good morning. What did you do with Bill?
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Where?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Where's Bill? Okay, okay, we'll talk to you instead. So, Paul,
what did you want to add to this?
Speaker 6 (14:08):
So you know, I think life skills are a huge thing.
And when you get married, you learn one set of
life skills, but when you become a parent, there's a
whole new set of life skills you have to learn.
Like I remember when my daughter was born, just trying
to figure out how to put the car seat in
the car and lock it in. That's a life skill
that nobody knows until you become a parent. They don't
teach you that in free Kata, right.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
I see.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
The thing is Scary drives a car with tires, so
he should know how to change a tire if he
had to. But he doesn't have kids, so you don't
have to really have to learn how to walk in
a writer's seat a kid's seat, do you I.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
Mean no, I can't.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Changing a tire though, that's a huge thing. I mean,
you got to keep you know, the more you get,
you know in life, and you don't have the BMW
service and you have to change your tires like regular
smoke Joe. It takes a long time to figure that out.
Like every time I drive on the tar Pike. I'm like, oh,
that guy, he doesn't know how to change a tire.
You had a close roadside assistant. I look at him like,
how did you not learn that?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh that was scary that you saw on the side
of the road. But Bill, right, you know, with kids
in your life, that is a whole new, massive book
of new things you have to learn, because Gandhi and
I will never have to know those.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Well, just cleaning up after yourself. You could let your
kid destroy the house and then you can leave it
to the next day or they'll trip over it. So
you have to learn how to be sufficient and keep
everything nice and neat. You have to learn how to
pre make meals so this way they are not screaming,
Oh I want dinner right now. I have to clean,
I have to cook, I have to do this. There's
when you become a parent life skills. There is something
that I TikTok is never going to teach you. You
(15:42):
have to either YouTube is actually a great thing. I
would go with YouTube over TikTok any day of the week.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Okay, all right, well, good Bill, thanks for pointing that out.
I appreciate it. You'll have a great day and listen
every day. Just do me a favor. Turn this on
every day. I'll be very happy with you.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
Okay, oh every morning, and scare if I can tell you, neat,
tell your mother get a tune up. Her car sounds
like it's sucking air and she needs a full tune up.
It's an air filter, spark tugs, a belt, she needs all.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
That, all right, Thank god, it sounds like your mother.
I was listening to your mother. It sounds like she's
sucking their Hi. Bill, thank you very much, I do,
I hear you. Thanks for listening to it. Bill.
