Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh, I'm so ready. It's like I make a dollar more,
dear blog.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
I don't know if you guys ever have this moment
where you kind of reflect and you want to apologize
to your parents. It happened to me over the weekend
because my family was over for single de Maaya. You know,
we do a big celebration, and while they were there,
they were pressuring me to have a baby, per usual
any time the family gets together. Nothing never mind anything.
I've accomplished this far, but you know I don't have

(00:30):
a child. So we got on that topic and I
started to think about it, like at this age, if
I had a kid, would I really be mentally strong
enough to do it, like to really raise a child.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Yes, the answers yes, I know that's rhetorical question, but
the answer, of course is yes.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Fred.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
When I started thinking about this, you know, my sister
raised me, So I started thinking about the things that
she was going through and the age she was raising me.
I don't think I can handle that. Like I saw
it was like just thinking about how often are you
to call her at work and like bother her for
stupid stuff like hey, can I make chicken tenders?

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Say?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Can I go outside like I, She'll do that. Can
you imagine that I'm forty three years old.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
I still call my mom and ask her if I
can spend money on stuff and what should I have
for dinner?

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh? Yeah, no, I still yeah, so she It never stops.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Exactly, That's my point. So I don't know if I
can handle that because I cannot imagine leaving this job,
going home.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
There's somebody else that's home. There's somebody else that.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
You have to pay for. Like, I just couldn't wrap
my mind around doing it. And then I started thinking
about like remember where your parents would call and say,
can you take the meat out the freezer. I'm going
to make that tonight, and you, as a child, you
have nothing else to do, that's your what responsibility? You
don't even take the meat out the freezer. I would
lose my mind if I got home and the meat
was not out.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Of the freezer.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I understand why parents get off work, go home and
close their door and don't want to talk to the
rest of the world. I completely understand. You know, it's
just like when you think about what parents go through
and rufie, I know you can feel this.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
You probably just want to go how I play Xbox PlayStation,
but yeah, you still do.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
It's just hard. So I don't know if anybody else
have the reflections of like how they used to bother
their parents and just they are the world's strongest soldiers.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Because I'm true, some.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Of the stuff I used to complain about her could
even complain about now about my childhood, I'm like, I
don't know that I could handle it. Yeah, I mean
the amount of money they spent on the private school
that I hated.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
All the basketball games they had to go to to
watch me lose. I was the worst player, and they
still came to everything. I mean, just like the overall commitment.
The craziest thing for me, Kiki, is that when my
mom was my age, I was nineteen, she had a
nineteen year old almost twenty in college. Like for me
to think about me having a twenty year old and

(02:46):
like what the last twenty years would have looked like
in order for me to get I don't know that
the kid would still be alive. To be honest with you,
I'm barely alive. I can hardly keep my own self alive. Yeah,
it's no one's ever ready to your parent. But it
definitely is karma sometimes, like for me, like I was
a I was.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
A dick as a kid, you know, like like like
like you're you're raising a mini you, and it's just
like why are you like this?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I'm like, oh, that's because of me. Everything. Then you
want to have more, you want to have more kids,
like it's it's so crazy. Now you're going to have
two of them. Yeah, I know too. Mini me's they do.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Say, like, don't have kids if you don't want to
argue with a mini versus yourself all day. Yeah, that's
terrifying the worst for Jess because it's like she deals
with me, she deals with and then she's gonna have
another like hopefully that one gets all the Jess's personality,
our second child.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
But yeah, so this is why Rufio.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Comes in here and he is like he is to us,
because then he goes home and he gets served, he
gets roasty.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yes, like two people, it's hard training.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
When you get home, it's like it's like we're up early,
we do this show and then just like oh man,
I got more to.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Do, Like you can't just like I'm just gonna go
give a little less here and you know, for child rearing,
you can always tell.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
I believe you can tell the people like at work
who try and dominate or like try and like flex
or walk around with their chest puffed out or whatever.
You can tell they're the ones to get their asses
kicked at home like that their wives just own them.
Like we've had a few suits around here over the
years that like they think they can come in here
and like be assertive, and you know, the second they
walk out of here, they just get you know, just

(04:34):
just like whipped, like physically assaulted by their because the
only the only time they get to exert any power
is what or feel like they get to exert any
power over anyone anyone is here because they go home
and they just get dominated. You can always tell, Yeah,
but you are fully worthy and capable.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well thank you, I thank you for saying that. But
I do want to apologize to Helena if she's listening.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
You have to put the TikTok down in order to
make the care Can you imagine that, No, like taking
taking five minutes just to put the TikTok tag in
order to just create the channel. Or I was talking
about making the kid that might be on TikTok now too,
I don't know you trying to save the damn platform.
So that's supposed to go on OnlyFans by the way,
Kiki that content.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay, Yeah, well yeah, I'm on TikTok.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm hungry, Mom, I'm in the middle of some.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
I could never oh Fred be like order door dassn't
leave me alone.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
You know the code.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I've been waiting for you for years so I can
order more and don't feel like a fat out.
