Speaker 1 (00:01):
So, Steve, we talked about this yesterday. It's it's kind
of all over social media since they made the big announcement.
Your daughter Laurie is dating People magazine Sexiest Man Alive
actor Michael B. Jordan's agree you couple. They make Yeah,
and you approved? Correct, you talked about that. You're cool
with it. Excuse me, excuse me? I mean I like him,

(00:28):
you know, but you know, like I say to all
of them, I might like you, I might approve of you,
but I gotta thromb sized section of my heart feel
with nothing but pure hatred for your age can come from.
You know. That's just in case I need it, Okay, right,
you know I got this little section proud in it

(00:54):
with I gotta do a click switch, and I hate
you as you ain't sexiest man in the world to me.
You don't get too close. Then you don't get too close.
Oh no, no, no, always stay back, always stay back.
You know? Are you like the bad boys father and
the father and the man Will Smith? No? No, and

(01:20):
I'm both of them. Hey, man, how you doing? I
can't stand in your head. I'm not doing. But go ahead,
what's your question? But here's the question. Let's talk about
the opposite because a lot of parents out there are
going through this, And what advice can you give parents
and kids when the parents don't approve of the relationship

(01:42):
because so far you're cool with them, you know so well.
I mean, you know you could see a lot of times.
Listen to me. Let me say this about parenting, man,
it does not come with a manual. And to all
the parents out there who children have done something totally
against everything you've ever tried to teach them, share with

(02:03):
them or get them to understand they once they become adults,
they can go and do whatever it is they want
to And ain't got nothing to do with your well wishes,
your thoughts, your hopes for them are nothing else. Do
not beat yourself up as a parent when your child
does something counter to what you believe is right for them,

(02:25):
because they have to live their life and learn, and
they will learn. They will literally learn. Yeah, when it
take a while, not tell me that ain't they ain't
no age, you know, just something some some of them

(02:46):
tripped for a while. Man, you just got to let
it go. You know, you got to love them, keep
talking to them. You know, I stop doing I don't
do that and phone not if you piss me off,
I don't okay, all right, don't approve of their relationships.

(03:13):
It's nothing you can do about it. If they're an adult,
it's nothing you can do about it. And other people
who pass judgment on you. People who pass judgment on you,
either they kids ain't old enough yet or they ain't
got no damn kids. They're the two right there. But
if you have been in this long enough and you
have kids of this age, all you could do is say, wow,

(03:36):
I understand. But people who criticize you as a parent
and your parenting skills, two things happen. They kids ain't
old enough or they ain't got no damn kids, one
or the two. And if they are critical because their
kids is old enough, hold on, they fend to do
something too. Just hold tight. Huh wow, okay, all right, yeah,

(04:03):
we don't get me right you all right? Tommy? Mmmm?
Don't even look over here, tommy. Good? Yeah, okay, you
just have trouble. Out of one, I got seven three.

(04:27):
I love them all though, let me say that I
love them, yea love? Do you like them? Not all
the time? You all the time? Not all the time,
all right. We'll have more of today's trending stories on
