Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
If there's one thing that gets under Brooks skin more
than anything else, it's when other people try and tell
her how to raise her kids.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I mean, you know, I don't listen to anybody she's.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Okay with telling you how to raise yours. Dare you
come and tell her it's not okay for her five
year old to eat raw roadkill near the Foo way over.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
You ate as much squirrel as you want.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
We're gonna go home and spoon and watch Titanic later.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
She's gonna do what she wants to do.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Squirrel pops all right.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
What wants to do right now is tell a lady
whose daughter is currently in daycare that they're gonna need
to go to extreme measures in order to teach her
how to behave well.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
I hate doing this to moms, and I also kind
of love it.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
It's just so easy. It's so easy.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Listen to Brook in her element right now.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Another Pop Mornings on the.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Hello, Hi, this is Catherine. I'm the new administrator over
at Stake Care. Is this Leah's mom?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Maria?

Speaker 3 (01:12):
It is? How is she doing?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Oh? Well, She's actually doing perfect.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Which is kind of why I wanted to talk to.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
You, Okay, what do you mean perfect.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Got a little pun there, because we both know she
really loves our classroom cat, pork Chop.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Oh my goodness, she does. She talks about him all
the time. She loves that cat.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, yeah, she loves so much that we're starting to
worry that little Leah is identifying as a cat.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Wait a minute, she's a kid. That's what they do.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
I'm just trying to tell you what I've been experiencing.
And I've seen little Lea rolling around on the floor,
putting toy mice in her mouth, batting at a ball
of yarn, little can Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I mean if I was four years old, I would
love that as well.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Well, I know you're laughing about it. I love that,
But I do think it's a little bit more serious. Okay,
I hate to see your daughter get into our pork
Chok's litter box. You know. I just feel like she's
one step away, and that is what concerns me.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
So that's when you tell the four year old that
it's like litter box or a cat, I mean, come on,
that's I'm not understanding.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Well, a normal four year old I would say that too.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
But a four year old who thinks they are a
cat that actually may be more detrimental.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
So I'm just telling you this that when we're home,
she talks about pork chop, but she does not run
around thinking she's some cat.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
I'm glad to see her. Feline tendencies haven't kind of
made their way into your home.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yet, but to make sure.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
They do, I think we do have a couple of
ideas in place to kind of keep this at bay.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
What are you even talking about right now? Just let
her be what she want to be. It's an imagination.
Let the kids do what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I hear you. I hear you one percent.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
And that's why we are going to jump on the
cat bandwagon.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
And we're just gonna maybe put a collar on her.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Excuse me, I mean, we wouldn't want her to slip
out at somebody's feet when the door gets open and
run into traffic.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Wait, it's just to keep her safe.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
This is out of hand. I think you're out of hand.
Oh whatever you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Oh maybe it came off wrong. Maybe I am so sorry.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Listen, I understand as a parent that may have sounded
a little aggressive.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, I would never ever consider putting a leash on
my child. What kind of sense does that make?

Speaker 2 (03:38):
No, Lea's just a coller, and don't worry.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
We will get her microchipped and make sure that we
can keep track of You're a little kitten.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Lee, You are not going to micro trip my child. Okay,
I mean all of this. I can just come over
there and take it out of the school right now.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Wow, well, excuse me, I was just going off what
you said. We were trying to balance imagination with safety.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Their kids, not animals. Okay.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Last resort, mister Jeremys has suggested that maybe she started
pretending like she's a dog.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Like, no, much easier to train.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Am I hearing you correctly? This is my child we're
talking about. Okay.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Well, your husband, Marcus, he kind of liked the dog idea.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
No, he did not, and he would never he would
have told me about something like this.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Well, I think he wanted me to tell you, tell
you that this is a prank phone call.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Anyway, now you're talking bull. Wait a minute, what the
hell I mean?

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yes, yeah, you're right, but no, your husband Marcus actually
set you up for a prank phone call.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
This is Brook from the radio show Brook and Jeffrey
in the morning.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Oh my god, don't blame.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Me, You need to blame Marcus.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
He emailed us and said, your daughter won't stop talking
about how much she loves the cat pork chopping.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Do youcare?

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Oh my guys, he knows.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
I hope.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
I wasn't out of balance when I said your daughter
had to be microchip to collar.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
A collar, sip of my child. I was getting ready
to go off on everybody. So bad, you're bad, you
are so bad. A wake up every morning with food
