On this week on how to kindof succeed in comedy life. We're going
to give you some parenting tips.Plus we've got a brand new segment called
the Top five blankety blanks all onhow to kind of succeed in comedy in
Life. Hello everybody, and welcomeinto the Cowtown Drive in podcast Studios.
(00:23):
I'm your host, comedian Weemley Martin, and with me as always as mature
manager Lisa Bruce. She is hi, y'all, and behind the controls is
the wizard right there. That's whathe does. He's a he's a sexy
man too. Go ahead and flipit back onto your picture there, look
(00:45):
at look at that? Oh Ijust I have eight by ten's. If
people are looking for them, anduh they'll they'll be signed. Uh So,
welcome into a brand new podcast,hey, and thanks to all of
you folks that are listening. Wereally appreciate it. Don't forget my tour
schedules at William Lee Martin dot comWilliam Leemartin dot com. And we got
(01:06):
great shows coming up in Arlington andColeen, Texas and then San Angelo and
then we then we move onward toother states. Van Buren is in Arkansas
in June and in places like that. So just go to the website William
Lemartin dot com buy the tickets.Here's another little tip. Don't buy tickets
(01:27):
for my shows on third party ticketplaces. Okay, so if you see
a ticket that's not between twenty fiveand seventy five dollars to come see me
live, then you're on the wrongsite. Somebody sent me a screenshot today
and it was seven hundred and twentyseven dollars in crazyline for four tickets,
(01:52):
and I guess it was a thirdparty thing and you can get scammed.
So don't get scammed. My ticketsare always on my website William Martin dot
com. If you just start outwith that, you know you're going to
get to the right tic. Sowe appreciate you. Uh and you know
we we we got to talk tothe folks at Facebook, the actual creative
(02:12):
people at Facebook, and a verynice person read Kira. I guess it's
both signatures are on there, soor maybe it's Kara read maybe I got
those names backwards, but either way, very helpful person. And they said
on the podcast, the one thingthat we don't have is a benchmark piece
now now, if you're like me, I'm like, I don't know what
(02:34):
a benchmark piece is, right,I don't. Yeah, So I asked
him and he said, well,you got to give them something to tune
into every week. And I said, but we have Lisa. And then
they said, Lord help us allthat you need more? You need more.
She's keeping her clothes on, soyou need more. Yeah. So
we started talking about it, youknow, what could we do? And
(02:58):
and uh, I'm top ten list? Like I loved it when Letterman used
to do it. And a buddyof mine was like, well, you
know, David Letterman, if you'regoing to do the top ten he did
it. And I'm like, youknow, that was nine years ago.
Now do you realize Letterman left theair in twenty fifteen, nine years I
(03:19):
thought it was actually longer than that. Well, it's beard as long as
that now. But I've always lovedthe top ten list, and I like
the Mount Rushmore kind of thing.Like a buddy of mine, Steve Cox,
my mentor, we do a lotof Mount Rushmore. Who would be
your four biggest players of football,biggest basketball players, the guards, all
(03:43):
these kind of things. But rememberthis podcast is called what what's it called
how to kind of succeed in comedyin life, in life, So we
like to give you more stuff aboutlife, just everyday life. And that's
where I think it was Ron thatactually came up with the idea that we
do a top five things that yousay, and then we all kind of
(04:04):
expanded and said, we'll do sayhere, taste and smell, So basically
the census. It's basically going tobe the top five things that happened to
you in your everyday life or youreveryday observation. So we're going to try
it here and hopefully we hadn't lostyou yet, so we're going to try
the brand new top five blankety blanks, okay, and blankety blank means that
(04:28):
we'll fill in the blank blank withsomething different This week. It's the top
five things you want to say tocollege students protesting Number five. Two weeks
ago, you thought hamas was somethingyou ate with carrots. Number four.
Of course, you're wearing a maskoutside. It's the first time you've come
(04:49):
out of your ivory tower since Marchof twenty twenty. Number three. Hopefully
you'll be done by three pm tomake it to your job. Okay,
you number two, So you're tellingme you can wear a traditional Muslim headpiece
even though you're not Muslim, Andyet I can't go to a Braves game
(05:11):
and do the whoa. And thenumber one thing you want to say that
college students protesting this week, you'rereally not rubbing it. If you're sleeping
outside in a tent and pooping outside, we working class people call that camping.
There's the top five. That wasa good first attempt, That was
(05:40):
good, that was not a badread. But yeah, yeah, you
know, the biggest thing that's outthere right now. The biggest story is
really, uh, these college protestsand the fact that the kids are seeming
to team up with the side thatthat absolutely has no no human rights history
(06:03):
on the good side. Right,so they're against Hamas's, against gays,
against women, against everything that thecolleges say that they're for. And yet
now these kids are out there allwearing the traditional gear. And then I
read on I looked it up onGoogle and I don't even know how to
(06:26):
say what there the thing that they'rewearing, right, Uh, it's it's
a word that I was like,I don't know how to pronounce that.
There's like a whole lot of owlsin it, and what are you talking
about? The headdress? The headdress? So but it said is that
what do they call it cultural appropriationif you're wearing it and you're not that
And they said, no, theMuslims are very happy that you're wearing it.
(06:48):
And and that's what it said onGoogle. And I thought, nobody
says that if you wear the Indianheaddress and with all the feathers, all
the feathers. So there's the hypocriticalpart of this. It should not.
I know people are talking about thecomps and who can do do it and
who can protest and who can bewhere, but just the hypocritical part of
(07:11):
just even that part. And youcan culturally appropriate yourself only when it's convenient
to you. And then on collegecampuses, you know, it cracks me
up that these kids would do it. But if you're going to protest,
why not the last two weeks rightwait till after finals? You know,
(07:33):
kids actually got to get to schooland everything else. And so it all
took me down this big rabbit holeof parenting tips because you know what I
hear all the time is these kidstoday you ever hear that these kids today.
You hear it even when people arehaving discussions about the protest, and
(07:54):
I don't ever say it that,y know, I always say these parents
today. But then you think abouthistory, think about the history of protesting
and a college campus, and howfar that goes back, that goes back
to the sixties. Now, allof us were born in the sixties,
right, You were sixty nine inthe sixty nine. Yeah, yeah,
(08:15):
so and Ron you were born thesixty six. But we've seen protest our
entire lives, so it's nothing new. What they're doing is really nothing new.
But let me ask you both aquestion, because I've seen about this.
I don't think I have ever participatedin one protest, and I don't
(08:37):
know if I would ever participate ina protest. I have not ever either.
I've never I've never felt the desireto. I don't know that,
and I don't know why. Firstof all, maybe nobody's protesting anything that
I feel that strongly about. Isthat what it is? Maybe I don't
know. It just seems like everyother week we have some sort of especially
(08:58):
around twenty twenty all the way towhat two, it seemed like every week
somebody was out on the street protesting, and do protest ever change anything?
I don't know. Does it everchange policy? Does it? I mean,
we all have the right to whatpeaceably protest, right, but what
does peaceably protest gain you? Yeah, that's that's my whole point, you
(09:20):
know. So I'm gonna make asign. I'm in my garage and I'm
making a sign and then I'm gonnawalk with it. And uh and then
what exactly does that change? Andand and does that really bring on any
change? What was the final outcomeof this? Yeah, so as as
as uh, simply as you canput it, what's the point? So
(09:43):
what is your point? Do youreally think that? Like at mi T?
I was reading at mi T,and you know that's where all the
smartest of the smart go, andeven to get into mi T. Obviously
that's the reason why mi T doesn'thave a basketball team or a football team,
because those aren't going to anybody,that's right. They don't have time.
(10:03):
Yeah, they don't have time andor the desire or and they're supposed
to be the think tank people.Uh, but now they're at MIT.
They're having to change even the graduationceremony because of a few people protesting.
Now, See that would piss meoff if I spent all that money and
I have my uh engineering degree fromMI T and then now I can't even
(10:26):
walk down the aisle because somebody isgoing to protest something that. Let's be
honest, if you really want tobuck up and say that you want to
protest it, why don't you justdrop out of school, take the tuition
money that you were going to use, and fly your ass over to the
Middle East and walk up and downthe streets and see how how how little
(10:50):
you will be received in that countrybeing an American. They're sticking your nose
in it. And and that's that'sthat's what I struggle with on the whole
protest. Yeah, you walked downthe street and you made a sign,
but did you change anything? Didyou run for office yourself? Did you
did you affect policy at all?The only reason why it's going to affect
(11:11):
policy this time, and I don'tlike talking a whole lot of politics,
is that it's a it's a presidentialyear. Oh yeah, sure, so,
but it all comes down to let'sdrill down. That's we were at
micro now, Let's go to wewere at Macro now, let's go to
the micro level. If you've gota kid that's in college and you've spent
(11:33):
if you're at MIT one hundred thousanddollars a year on what do you tell
them? Oh, shoot, getyour ass back to class, my friend,
That's what I mean, especially ifyou're funding them, right, if
you're funding their college education. Getyour butt back to class and do your
work and get out of there.Serious. Yeah, yeah, it's uh,
(11:56):
it all comes. And that's whereI kind of drilled down and started
thinking about the whole parenting tips,you know, because these parents today,
nobody seems to ever tell your kidno, and it drives me insane.
You know. Here's here's probably thebest parenting tip that I've ever given to
anyone else. It's the way Iparent now. If you ask my three
(12:20):
kids, and you know, wehave five collectively, but the three kids
that I am directly involved with arethe three making I was involved in making.
Some were made quicker than others,but anyway, so the ones that
(12:41):
I was involved in the thing Ithink if you asked all three of my
kids, first of all, theythink I might be a little strict,
you know, but not crazy strict. What I always try to emphasize.
And I tell young dads this notmom's usually, but young dad. And
this applies to moms. No matterwhat you tell the kid, that's what
(13:03):
you got to come up with.So these idle threats of all teeth out.
Like I was out with a friendof mine and had a son there,
and he said, I'm gonna ifyou don't stop that, I'm gonna
bust your teeth out, right,And he didn't stop, and he didn't
get his teeth, didn't get histeeth busted out. I would never say
(13:24):
to my kid, I'm gonna knockyour teeth out because of my policy of
I must keep my word. Andthen you got then you're gonna have to
pay for work in CBS and orPS, CPS, CBS, maybe CBS
because you never give or jail.But uh, I think that's the number
(13:48):
one tip I can give to parentsis that you got to keep your word.
You know, if you say you'regonna be great, don't make attle
threats. Yeah, it doesn't work. It happens all the time, and
all they all the kid does isjust keep moving the bar. So if
you go, don't cross this lineor else. And they cross it and
then you go, ohh don't crossthat line. And it just keeps backing
(14:11):
up and backing up and backing up, and it drives me insane. It
drives me insane when I see itin restaurants, Like I'll see somebody say,
hey, you're gonna eat that,or you're not getting up right,
and and we're in a restaurant andfive minutes later, they still haven't eaten
it, touched it at all.And then and they're still trying to have
(14:33):
a conversation mom and dad or whatever, and then they hand them that phone.
Just watch this, just watch this. Yeah, and that is why
we have these kids today. YesI can. It's because of these parents
today. Yes, well in Colton, that's your son. Yes, Colton
is my son. He's twenty sixnow. But all of the groundings that
(14:54):
might build out to him, hewould still be grounded to this day to
hear you know, if he hadto back up what he said, because
Mike was quick to throw it out, you know you're going to be grounded
forever. You know you're gonna begrounded a year whatever. And it's like
one, you got to make thepunishment fit the crime. Yeah, And
don't let your mouth overload your buttwith your punishment. Don't let your mouth
(15:18):
overload your butt. Did that makesense? I've heard that a million times.
My wife's dad used to tell herto eat it or wear it.
Oh, she never had to wearthe food that she did to eat,
of course. Yeah. Well I'mnot. I'm not. Yeah, I'm
not one who is going to dothat with food, because one, you
don't want to cause food issues laterin life. Canton has a piggy eater
(15:39):
right now, cult my grandson.My son was not, but Canton is.
So I just bargained to take threebites. Must roll on with with
life. I'm not going to sitthere and tell you each other. Play
by fear is never good, right, That's what the idle threats typically end
up. Yes, uh yeah,I mean you can develop things like always
(16:00):
wanting to clean your plate. Yes, we've had these discussions. Yeah,
because you know, I think alot of the weight that I have is
because I heard my whole life you'regonna starve, you got oh yeah,
they were always starving and China andyou have got to clean. There's a
billion people in China, so apparentlynobody's starved to death. You don't know
(16:21):
that when you're young. You don'tknow there's a billion people over it,
right, Or you have to cleanyour plate to get dessert, you know,
And it's like, yeah, don't. But I also understand that if
you prepared it, you know,and and and you're poor, and you
see it and you feel that way. You know, Now, I got
a couple of coins in my pocket. But you still feel that when you
(16:41):
go to a restaurant and and youorder it just or even a past food
place and you order a hamburger,fries and a drink and it costs you
sixteen dollars and you're like, well, I better get all sixteen dollars worth
out of there. That's why Isay, just give me the burger,
no fries, no fries, right, I don't Well, I say,
I couldn't do that. But youknow, the last seventeen months, I
(17:02):
don't know if you've noticed, butI'm using a skinny filter. It's called
not eating and exercising. It turnedout there's two things to losing weight.
I know I should write a book, but this whole idea of parenting,
that's the only tip that I reallycan get parents. You know, there's
(17:22):
these all these psychology books and everythingelse. What my kids knew even through
the divorce that if I said I'mgoing to be there on Tuesday at five
o'clock, by god, I showedup at five o'clock. And that's the
biggest tip that I can give toparents, is that be consistent with whatever
(17:42):
it is you say. If yousay you're not going to play on the
phone during dinner, then don't givein. Don't do it handed I see
it. So it drives me insane, especially when you're out in public and
you can't go forty five minutes withthe four of you eating dinner together without
(18:03):
handing that kid some sort of iPadand everything else. And I'm a gamer,
y'all know, I'm a gamer.I love all my video games.
But there's also a thing called timeand place, you know. And if
you've got a child that's at homeand you're like, well, I can't
get them off the video game,Well that's because you used it as a
babysitter exactly. Well, not onlythat, you're still not keeping you word.
(18:29):
You can you can tell a kid, hey, you get an hour
on the video game. You know, everything in moderation, I think is
okay, you know, I thinkif you but if you allow a kid
every day of his life, especiallythe older that they get, because the
older that they get, the moreyou've got to stand up to your word,
because we try to transition from parentingto friending and they're two completely different
(18:55):
words. And you want to belike even with my son. My son
is thirty five and we still havediscussions about parenting to help him with his
son. But also I'm I amhis buddy, I'm as you know,
his friend, but I'm also isI'm also still his dad, want I
(19:15):
don't think, and he treats mewith that respect too. I see kids
call their their dad by their name. My dad was eighty two years old
when he died. I never calledhim David once ever. I never called
my dad by his name, respectthat is. But it might have been
in a crowd and I'm going Dad, Dad, Dad, and he's not
(19:36):
looking because he's used to hearing Dadby four of us kids. I might
have gone, oh then and Igotta look, So that might have been
the only reason. Yeah, ifI would have went out to the garage
and go David, Donna wants youin the house. Yeah, I would
have walked in throat. I don'tknow what happened, but he got Oh,
(20:03):
I know you had a big lastthing I remember was yeah, But
that's it's really not that complicated.You know. We complicate so many things
in our lives. We complicate theBible, you know, And if you
go to read the Bible, it'sa tough read. It is a tough
and and if you ever try toread the Bible, good luck just getting
(20:26):
through the beget part. And hebeget and he beget and bet we get.
But if you break down to it, there's just basically two fundamental things,
love each other and try to forgiveeach other, you know. And
if we just taught that, ifevery sermon that a preacher preaches started out
with, hey, try to loveeach other and try to forgive each other,
(20:48):
now on with the lesson, boy, I would tune into that anytime.
But instead it's like, hey,look that great, big facility that
we got, and thank you somuch for Yeah, because it always cracks
me up when I see preachers talkingabout money and finances, and it's like,
well, if you actually read theBible, that first sentence, that
(21:08):
first sentence starts out with you know, he created the heavens and earth.
Not one point after that does itsay, well, he would have if
you could get financing right. Soagain, my whole point of this is
that we over complicate things, andwe over complicate kids. Kids just want
stability in their life, yes,and most kids don't get that. And
(21:33):
and and a stable parent really isa I say what I say and I
do what I do. And ifyou just teach them that, then they
end up being responsible people. Becausewe were talking about whether or not a
kiss successful. Is a kid successfulbecause he goes to MI T No,
No, not at all. Dowe hold them up as in high regard.
(21:57):
Yeah, because they're smart, they'rebringing maybe they figure out some world
issues. Maybe. You know,I saw that we're gonna have an unfu
manned fighter jet pretty soon. Yeahyeah, yeah, nobody in there doing
the things, and you know,yeah, and then all AI and then
you know, as you know,if you know anything about about true history,
(22:19):
that's when Skynet takes over. Andonce they find the hand, then
uh, those fighter jets would dropbombs on us. And then we got
to wait for Arnold Sportsnegger to showup naked. And then I'm just waiting
for the guy that's the liquid anduh. And so then we know because
that's history right there. Most peoplethinks gonna happen. Uh, but that's
(22:42):
not probably what's gonna happen. Butmy point again, if I have one,
is that simplified, right? Yeah, Because we were talking about when
you know, you know what somebodyconsiders successful child like anyone talk and I
said, well, I mean,I feel like my kid is successful.
(23:03):
But he did not go he didn'tfinish college. He did one semester of
college. And what did I say? And yet by the time he was
twenty two, he bought his ownhouse, bought his own house, had
a baby, married, He's twentysix now has a stable job for a
one k A good job. It'sa responsible job too, a job that
(23:23):
required no Shakespeare at all, noShakespeare, a little bit of a trade,
trade school, I guess. Butagain, your son, you were
asking me about success. I knowsome very bright engineers, one engineer in
particular, and he didn't make eyecontact, doesn't know how to shake a
(23:44):
grown ass man's hand. He doesn'tknow how to hold his shoulders back,
keep his head up, be proudof who he is without being an arrogance
at at all. You know,suddenly we started talking about masculine, toxic
masculinity, and like it's a badthing always. Now, there are times
where you're if you're a bully,that's where I really place that toxic thing.
(24:07):
But if you're teaching a boy tobe a man and to be responsible
for himself, yes, uh,you're Mike did some good things with the
boy. You know, maybe hedidn't keep him grounded, and maybe he
should. Maybe Colton should be gready, he should still be grounded, should
be still grounded. But you know, boys are going to get into things
and and girls will too. AndI don't want to just single out the
(24:30):
boys, but with both, uhthe boys, uh, the boy and
the girls. And in my careunder my tutelage, it was that I'm
gonna if I say, you're gonnaeat that plate, otherwise it's gonna sit
here and you're gonna eat it forbreakfast, I better serve it for breakfast.
Yep. Yeah, I'm never gonna. I'm never gonna dule that out
(24:52):
though. So so let me askyou all this, because you both have
grown up kids like I do,when does that end? That's a really
good question when they move out ofyour house. I don't know. I
can't. I can't go that farwith it. Well, it depends on
what it is you're asking asking ofthem. Well, in what scenario would
(25:17):
you not Well, because you know, after Colton graduated school high school and
he was still under my roof,it was like, if you're not coming
home, let me know, Well, there's stuff like the sutual respect.
You know, you're living in myhouse. You're going to respect my rules.
Just let me know, because I'mgoing to wake up every thirty minutes
to check if your home and youknow, and he would do that.
And if he didn't, you know, what do you do at that point
(25:40):
when they're eighteen nineteen. Well,if they're living under my house, first
of all, it's still my houseand my house and I respected that growing
up. Now I saw the oppositeof that. Like we were just talking
about this at dinner last night,me and my brother and a friend of
his and a friend of mine fromhigh school. We were all talking and
(26:00):
my parents smoked like feverishly. Andthen once my brother got married and then
they had a baby, he hada sign outside the door that said no
smoking, and they had little Ashleyat the house, I mean, I
mean week days over. And thenmy mom and dad came over. The
(26:22):
baby's sitting there, and my momgoes to light up a cigarette right there
in the living room in my brother'shouse. House, in my brother's house.
And my brother said, hey,there's no smoking in here, and
my dad said she can smoke wherevershe wants, and he goes, well,
let's see if you understand this statement. My house, my rules.
Yep, ding ding ding, sofamiliar. They got up and they left
(26:45):
good, and they did not speakto my brother and his wife and the
baby for the next two years oversmoking and someone else's house, not even
your parents and your brother. Yourbrother should not have felt any guilt about
that. Whatso, no, notat all. And that's that's again,
uh simple rules. Uh, it'sa mutual that is a mutual respect.
(27:08):
But but for a parent, Uhyeah, that's where you're going overboard.
That's that's not your house, that'sand and you should respect the fact that
you've raised the sun to have hisown set of rules, his own and
his own house, and that canso you have to respect that. And
I think I think moms are realbad about this. Uh, really sticking
(27:33):
their nose in in the family businesswhen it's not your family. You know.
One of the greatest things I heardabout Christmas was that everybody gets worked
up when the kids can't come toyour house for Christmas. That's the thing,
it's not it's not your Christmas.Your Christmas is your Christmas. Everybody
(27:55):
in your house should be there,but everybody outside the house is not obligated
to no longer be at Christmas.And I know that hurts a lot of
people's feeling, especially women, youknow, get very upset that that the
kids aren't all coming home for Christmas. Well, you should be proud that
they're making their own traditions and they'redoing that and got their own life,
(28:18):
and it's and it's a day,you know. So anyway, that's that's
our that's our parenting tips. Ithink everybody good with that. Or yeah,
but yeah, people need to teachtheir sons to shake a firm Handshake
firm hands, look the person inthe eye. How many you get it
on a two shot? How manyhave you seen that? Like, no,
(28:40):
no, no, I don't evenwant a woman shaking my hand like
that. Do not have your handlike this I'm out my lawn guy,
a tree guy. I do myown yard. But the guy that cuts
down my trees, every time Ishake his hands, he's no, no
firm handshake and look the person inthe eye. I taught well, Mike
and I talk Culton that early on. And you know, now we're trying
(29:03):
to teach the three year old grandsonthat. Yeah, but the first time
you shake somebody's hand locked that afterthat moment, you have a completely different
Yeah, you give me the factor. Well, and that also tells me
that it's probably going to be somebodyI can't rely on. And that sounds
weird, doesn't it. Well,but somebody can't look in the eyes one,
I'm like, Yeah, my granddadalways just say if they can't look
(29:26):
in the eye, they're just planningout what how they're going to get around
and steal your wallet, you know, And that's back wheneverybody walk in the
back pocket. You're just going tofigure it out. So, Uh,

manager Lisa Bruce. She is hi, y'all, and behind the controls is
the wizard right there. That's whathe does. He's a he's a sexy
man too. Go ahead and flipit back onto your picture there, look
(00:45):
at look at that? Oh Ijust I have eight by ten's. If
people are looking for them, anduh they'll they'll be signed. Uh So,
welcome into a brand new podcast,hey, and thanks to all of
you folks that are listening. Wereally appreciate it. Don't forget my tour

(01:06):
great shows coming up in Arlington andColeen, Texas and then San Angelo and
then we then we move onward toother states. Van Buren is in Arkansas
in June and in places like that. So just go to the website William
Lemartin dot com buy the tickets.Here's another little tip. Don't buy tickets
(01:27):
for my shows on third party ticketplaces. Okay, so if you see
a ticket that's not between twenty fiveand seventy five dollars to come see me
live, then you're on the wrongsite. Somebody sent me a screenshot today
and it was seven hundred and twentyseven dollars in crazyline for four tickets,
(01:52):
and I guess it was a thirdparty thing and you can get scammed.
So don't get scammed. My ticketsare always on my website William Martin dot
com. If you just start outwith that, you know you're going to
get to the right tic. Sowe appreciate you. Uh and you know
we we we got to talk tothe folks at Facebook, the actual creative
(02:12):
people at Facebook, and a verynice person read Kira. I guess it's
both signatures are on there, soor maybe it's Kara read maybe I got
those names backwards, but either way, very helpful person. And they said
on the podcast, the one thingthat we don't have is a benchmark piece
now now, if you're like me, I'm like, I don't know what
(02:34):
a benchmark piece is, right,I don't. Yeah, So I asked
him and he said, well,you got to give them something to tune
into every week. And I said, but we have Lisa. And then
they said, Lord help us allthat you need more? You need more.
She's keeping her clothes on, soyou need more. Yeah. So
we started talking about it, youknow, what could we do? And
(02:58):
and uh, I'm top ten list? Like I loved it when Letterman used
to do it. And a buddyof mine was like, well, you
know, David Letterman, if you'regoing to do the top ten he did
it. And I'm like, youknow, that was nine years ago.
Now do you realize Letterman left theair in twenty fifteen, nine years I
(03:19):
thought it was actually longer than that. Well, it's beard as long as
that now. But I've always lovedthe top ten list, and I like
the Mount Rushmore kind of thing.Like a buddy of mine, Steve Cox,
my mentor, we do a lotof Mount Rushmore. Who would be
your four biggest players of football,biggest basketball players, the guards, all
(03:43):
these kind of things. But rememberthis podcast is called what what's it called
how to kind of succeed in comedyin life, in life, So we
like to give you more stuff aboutlife, just everyday life. And that's
where I think it was Ron thatactually came up with the idea that we
do a top five things that yousay, and then we all kind of
(04:04):
expanded and said, we'll do sayhere, taste and smell, So basically
the census. It's basically going tobe the top five things that happened to
you in your everyday life or youreveryday observation. So we're going to try
it here and hopefully we hadn't lostyou yet, so we're going to try
the brand new top five blankety blanks, okay, and blankety blank means that
(04:28):
we'll fill in the blank blank withsomething different This week. It's the top
five things you want to say tocollege students protesting Number five. Two weeks
ago, you thought hamas was somethingyou ate with carrots. Number four.
Of course, you're wearing a maskoutside. It's the first time you've come
(04:49):
out of your ivory tower since Marchof twenty twenty. Number three. Hopefully
you'll be done by three pm tomake it to your job. Okay,
you number two, So you're tellingme you can wear a traditional Muslim headpiece
even though you're not Muslim, Andyet I can't go to a Braves game
(05:11):
and do the whoa. And thenumber one thing you want to say that
college students protesting this week, you'rereally not rubbing it. If you're sleeping
outside in a tent and pooping outside, we working class people call that camping.
There's the top five. That wasa good first attempt, That was
(05:40):
good, that was not a badread. But yeah, yeah, you
know, the biggest thing that's outthere right now. The biggest story is
really, uh, these college protestsand the fact that the kids are seeming
to team up with the side thatthat absolutely has no no human rights history
(06:03):
on the good side. Right,so they're against Hamas's, against gays,
against women, against everything that thecolleges say that they're for. And yet
now these kids are out there allwearing the traditional gear. And then I
read on I looked it up onGoogle and I don't even know how to
(06:26):
say what there the thing that they'rewearing, right, Uh, it's it's
a word that I was like,I don't know how to pronounce that.
There's like a whole lot of owlsin it, and what are you talking
about? The headdress? The headdress? So but it said is that
what do they call it cultural appropriationif you're wearing it and you're not that
And they said, no, theMuslims are very happy that you're wearing it.
(06:48):
And and that's what it said onGoogle. And I thought, nobody
says that if you wear the Indianheaddress and with all the feathers, all
the feathers. So there's the hypocriticalpart of this. It should not.
I know people are talking about thecomps and who can do do it and
who can protest and who can bewhere, but just the hypocritical part of
(07:11):
just even that part. And youcan culturally appropriate yourself only when it's convenient
to you. And then on collegecampuses, you know, it cracks me
up that these kids would do it. But if you're going to protest,
why not the last two weeks rightwait till after finals? You know,
(07:33):
kids actually got to get to schooland everything else. And so it all
took me down this big rabbit holeof parenting tips because you know what I
hear all the time is these kidstoday you ever hear that these kids today.
You hear it even when people arehaving discussions about the protest, and
(07:54):
I don't ever say it that,y know, I always say these parents
today. But then you think abouthistory, think about the history of protesting
and a college campus, and howfar that goes back, that goes back
to the sixties. Now, allof us were born in the sixties,
right, You were sixty nine inthe sixty nine. Yeah, yeah,
(08:15):
so and Ron you were born thesixty six. But we've seen protest our
entire lives, so it's nothing new. What they're doing is really nothing new.
But let me ask you both aquestion, because I've seen about this.
I don't think I have ever participatedin one protest, and I don't
(08:37):
know if I would ever participate ina protest. I have not ever either.
I've never I've never felt the desireto. I don't know that,
and I don't know why. Firstof all, maybe nobody's protesting anything that
I feel that strongly about. Isthat what it is? Maybe I don't
know. It just seems like everyother week we have some sort of especially
(08:58):
around twenty twenty all the way towhat two, it seemed like every week
somebody was out on the street protesting, and do protest ever change anything?
I don't know. Does it everchange policy? Does it? I mean,
we all have the right to whatpeaceably protest, right, but what
does peaceably protest gain you? Yeah, that's that's my whole point, you
(09:20):
know. So I'm gonna make asign. I'm in my garage and I'm
making a sign and then I'm gonnawalk with it. And uh and then
what exactly does that change? Andand and does that really bring on any
change? What was the final outcomeof this? Yeah, so as as
as uh, simply as you canput it, what's the point? So
(09:43):
what is your point? Do youreally think that? Like at mi T?
I was reading at mi T,and you know that's where all the
smartest of the smart go, andeven to get into mi T. Obviously
that's the reason why mi T doesn'thave a basketball team or a football team,
because those aren't going to anybody,that's right. They don't have time.
(10:03):
Yeah, they don't have time andor the desire or and they're supposed
to be the think tank people.Uh, but now they're at MIT.
They're having to change even the graduationceremony because of a few people protesting.
Now, See that would piss meoff if I spent all that money and
I have my uh engineering degree fromMI T and then now I can't even
(10:26):
walk down the aisle because somebody isgoing to protest something that. Let's be
honest, if you really want tobuck up and say that you want to
protest it, why don't you justdrop out of school, take the tuition
money that you were going to use, and fly your ass over to the
Middle East and walk up and downthe streets and see how how how little
(10:50):
you will be received in that countrybeing an American. They're sticking your nose
in it. And and that's that'sthat's what I struggle with on the whole
protest. Yeah, you walked downthe street and you made a sign,
but did you change anything? Didyou run for office yourself? Did you
did you affect policy at all?The only reason why it's going to affect
(11:11):
policy this time, and I don'tlike talking a whole lot of politics,
is that it's a it's a presidentialyear. Oh yeah, sure, so,
but it all comes down to let'sdrill down. That's we were at
micro now, Let's go to wewere at Macro now, let's go to
the micro level. If you've gota kid that's in college and you've spent
(11:33):
if you're at MIT one hundred thousanddollars a year on what do you tell
them? Oh, shoot, getyour ass back to class, my friend,
That's what I mean, especially ifyou're funding them, right, if
you're funding their college education. Getyour butt back to class and do your
work and get out of there.Serious. Yeah, yeah, it's uh,
(11:56):
it all comes. And that's whereI kind of drilled down and started
thinking about the whole parenting tips,you know, because these parents today,
nobody seems to ever tell your kidno, and it drives me insane.
You know. Here's here's probably thebest parenting tip that I've ever given to
anyone else. It's the way Iparent now. If you ask my three
(12:20):
kids, and you know, wehave five collectively, but the three kids
that I am directly involved with arethe three making I was involved in making.
Some were made quicker than others,but anyway, so the ones that
(12:41):
I was involved in the thing Ithink if you asked all three of my
kids, first of all, theythink I might be a little strict,
you know, but not crazy strict. What I always try to emphasize.
And I tell young dads this notmom's usually, but young dad. And
this applies to moms. No matterwhat you tell the kid, that's what
(13:03):
you got to come up with.So these idle threats of all teeth out.
Like I was out with a friendof mine and had a son there,
and he said, I'm gonna ifyou don't stop that, I'm gonna
bust your teeth out, right,And he didn't stop, and he didn't
get his teeth, didn't get histeeth busted out. I would never say
(13:24):
to my kid, I'm gonna knockyour teeth out because of my policy of
I must keep my word. Andthen you got then you're gonna have to
pay for work in CBS and orPS, CPS, CBS, maybe CBS
because you never give or jail.But uh, I think that's the number
(13:48):
one tip I can give to parentsis that you got to keep your word.
You know, if you say you'regonna be great, don't make attle
threats. Yeah, it doesn't work. It happens all the time, and
all they all the kid does isjust keep moving the bar. So if
you go, don't cross this lineor else. And they cross it and
then you go, ohh don't crossthat line. And it just keeps backing
(14:11):
up and backing up and backing up, and it drives me insane. It
drives me insane when I see itin restaurants, Like I'll see somebody say,
hey, you're gonna eat that,or you're not getting up right,
and and we're in a restaurant andfive minutes later, they still haven't eaten
it, touched it at all.And then and they're still trying to have
(14:33):
a conversation mom and dad or whatever, and then they hand them that phone.
Just watch this, just watch this. Yeah, and that is why
we have these kids today. YesI can. It's because of these parents
today. Yes, well in Colton, that's your son. Yes, Colton
is my son. He's twenty sixnow. But all of the groundings that
(14:54):
might build out to him, hewould still be grounded to this day to
hear you know, if he hadto back up what he said, because
Mike was quick to throw it out, you know you're going to be grounded
forever. You know you're gonna begrounded a year whatever. And it's like
one, you got to make thepunishment fit the crime. Yeah, And
don't let your mouth overload your buttwith your punishment. Don't let your mouth
(15:18):
overload your butt. Did that makesense? I've heard that a million times.
My wife's dad used to tell herto eat it or wear it.
Oh, she never had to wearthe food that she did to eat,
of course. Yeah. Well I'mnot. I'm not. Yeah, I'm
not one who is going to dothat with food, because one, you
don't want to cause food issues laterin life. Canton has a piggy eater
(15:39):
right now, cult my grandson.My son was not, but Canton is.
So I just bargained to take threebites. Must roll on with with
life. I'm not going to sitthere and tell you each other. Play
by fear is never good, right, That's what the idle threats typically end
up. Yes, uh yeah,I mean you can develop things like always
(16:00):
wanting to clean your plate. Yes, we've had these discussions. Yeah,
because you know, I think alot of the weight that I have is
because I heard my whole life you'regonna starve, you got oh yeah,
they were always starving and China andyou have got to clean. There's a
billion people in China, so apparentlynobody's starved to death. You don't know
(16:21):
that when you're young. You don'tknow there's a billion people over it,
right, Or you have to cleanyour plate to get dessert, you know,
And it's like, yeah, don't. But I also understand that if
you prepared it, you know,and and and you're poor, and you
see it and you feel that way. You know, Now, I got
a couple of coins in my pocket. But you still feel that when you
(16:41):
go to a restaurant and and youorder it just or even a past food
place and you order a hamburger,fries and a drink and it costs you
sixteen dollars and you're like, well, I better get all sixteen dollars worth
out of there. That's why Isay, just give me the burger,
no fries, no fries, right, I don't Well, I say,
I couldn't do that. But youknow, the last seventeen months, I
(17:02):
don't know if you've noticed, butI'm using a skinny filter. It's called
not eating and exercising. It turnedout there's two things to losing weight.
I know I should write a book, but this whole idea of parenting,
that's the only tip that I reallycan get parents. You know, there's
(17:22):
these all these psychology books and everythingelse. What my kids knew even through
the divorce that if I said I'mgoing to be there on Tuesday at five
o'clock, by god, I showedup at five o'clock. And that's the
biggest tip that I can give toparents, is that be consistent with whatever
(17:42):
it is you say. If yousay you're not going to play on the
phone during dinner, then don't givein. Don't do it handed I see
it. So it drives me insane, especially when you're out in public and
you can't go forty five minutes withthe four of you eating dinner together without
(18:03):
handing that kid some sort of iPadand everything else. And I'm a gamer,
y'all know, I'm a gamer.I love all my video games.
But there's also a thing called timeand place, you know. And if
you've got a child that's at homeand you're like, well, I can't
get them off the video game,Well that's because you used it as a
babysitter exactly. Well, not onlythat, you're still not keeping you word.
(18:29):
You can you can tell a kid, hey, you get an hour
on the video game. You know, everything in moderation, I think is
okay, you know, I thinkif you but if you allow a kid
every day of his life, especiallythe older that they get, because the
older that they get, the moreyou've got to stand up to your word,
because we try to transition from parentingto friending and they're two completely different
(18:55):
words. And you want to belike even with my son. My son
is thirty five and we still havediscussions about parenting to help him with his
son. But also I'm I amhis buddy, I'm as you know,
his friend, but I'm also isI'm also still his dad, want I
(19:15):
don't think, and he treats mewith that respect too. I see kids
call their their dad by their name. My dad was eighty two years old
when he died. I never calledhim David once ever. I never called
my dad by his name, respectthat is. But it might have been
in a crowd and I'm going Dad, Dad, Dad, and he's not
(19:36):
looking because he's used to hearing Dadby four of us kids. I might
have gone, oh then and Igotta look, So that might have been
the only reason. Yeah, ifI would have went out to the garage
and go David, Donna wants youin the house. Yeah, I would
have walked in throat. I don'tknow what happened, but he got Oh,
(20:03):
I know you had a big lastthing I remember was yeah, But
that's it's really not that complicated.You know. We complicate so many things
in our lives. We complicate theBible, you know, And if you
go to read the Bible, it'sa tough read. It is a tough
and and if you ever try toread the Bible, good luck just getting
(20:26):
through the beget part. And hebeget and he beget and bet we get.
But if you break down to it, there's just basically two fundamental things,
love each other and try to forgiveeach other, you know. And
if we just taught that, ifevery sermon that a preacher preaches started out
with, hey, try to loveeach other and try to forgive each other,
(20:48):
now on with the lesson, boy, I would tune into that anytime.
But instead it's like, hey,look that great, big facility that
we got, and thank you somuch for Yeah, because it always cracks
me up when I see preachers talkingabout money and finances, and it's like,
well, if you actually read theBible, that first sentence, that
(21:08):
first sentence starts out with you know, he created the heavens and earth.
Not one point after that does itsay, well, he would have if
you could get financing right. Soagain, my whole point of this is
that we over complicate things, andwe over complicate kids. Kids just want
stability in their life, yes,and most kids don't get that. And
(21:33):
and and a stable parent really isa I say what I say and I
do what I do. And ifyou just teach them that, then they
end up being responsible people. Becausewe were talking about whether or not a
kiss successful. Is a kid successfulbecause he goes to MI T No,
No, not at all. Dowe hold them up as in high regard.
(21:57):
Yeah, because they're smart, they'rebringing maybe they figure out some world
issues. Maybe. You know,I saw that we're gonna have an unfu
manned fighter jet pretty soon. Yeahyeah, yeah, nobody in there doing
the things, and you know,yeah, and then all AI and then
you know, as you know,if you know anything about about true history,
(22:19):
that's when Skynet takes over. Andonce they find the hand, then
uh, those fighter jets would dropbombs on us. And then we got
to wait for Arnold Sportsnegger to showup naked. And then I'm just waiting
for the guy that's the liquid anduh. And so then we know because
that's history right there. Most peoplethinks gonna happen. Uh, but that's
(22:42):
not probably what's gonna happen. Butmy point again, if I have one,
is that simplified, right? Yeah, Because we were talking about when
you know, you know what somebodyconsiders successful child like anyone talk and I
said, well, I mean,I feel like my kid is successful.
(23:03):
But he did not go he didn'tfinish college. He did one semester of
college. And what did I say? And yet by the time he was
twenty two, he bought his ownhouse, bought his own house, had
a baby, married, He's twentysix now has a stable job for a
one k A good job. It'sa responsible job too, a job that
(23:23):
required no Shakespeare at all, noShakespeare, a little bit of a trade,
trade school, I guess. Butagain, your son, you were
asking me about success. I knowsome very bright engineers, one engineer in
particular, and he didn't make eyecontact, doesn't know how to shake a
(23:44):
grown ass man's hand. He doesn'tknow how to hold his shoulders back,
keep his head up, be proudof who he is without being an arrogance
at at all. You know,suddenly we started talking about masculine, toxic
masculinity, and like it's a badthing always. Now, there are times
where you're if you're a bully,that's where I really place that toxic thing.
(24:07):
But if you're teaching a boy tobe a man and to be responsible
for himself, yes, uh,you're Mike did some good things with the
boy. You know, maybe hedidn't keep him grounded, and maybe he
should. Maybe Colton should be gready, he should still be grounded, should
be still grounded. But you know, boys are going to get into things
and and girls will too. AndI don't want to just single out the
(24:30):
boys, but with both, uhthe boys, uh, the boy and
the girls. And in my careunder my tutelage, it was that I'm
gonna if I say, you're gonnaeat that plate, otherwise it's gonna sit
here and you're gonna eat it forbreakfast, I better serve it for breakfast.
Yep. Yeah, I'm never gonna. I'm never gonna dule that out
(24:52):
though. So so let me askyou all this, because you both have
grown up kids like I do,when does that end? That's a really
good question when they move out ofyour house. I don't know. I
can't. I can't go that farwith it. Well, it depends on
what it is you're asking asking ofthem. Well, in what scenario would
(25:17):
you not Well, because you know, after Colton graduated school high school and
he was still under my roof,it was like, if you're not coming
home, let me know, Well, there's stuff like the sutual respect.
You know, you're living in myhouse. You're going to respect my rules.
Just let me know, because I'mgoing to wake up every thirty minutes
to check if your home and youknow, and he would do that.
And if he didn't, you know, what do you do at that point
(25:40):
when they're eighteen nineteen. Well,if they're living under my house, first
of all, it's still my houseand my house and I respected that growing
up. Now I saw the oppositeof that. Like we were just talking
about this at dinner last night,me and my brother and a friend of
his and a friend of mine fromhigh school. We were all talking and
(26:00):
my parents smoked like feverishly. Andthen once my brother got married and then
they had a baby, he hada sign outside the door that said no
smoking, and they had little Ashleyat the house, I mean, I
mean week days over. And thenmy mom and dad came over. The
(26:22):
baby's sitting there, and my momgoes to light up a cigarette right there
in the living room in my brother'shouse. House, in my brother's house.
And my brother said, hey,there's no smoking in here, and
my dad said she can smoke wherevershe wants, and he goes, well,
let's see if you understand this statement. My house, my rules.
Yep, ding ding ding, sofamiliar. They got up and they left
(26:45):
good, and they did not speakto my brother and his wife and the
baby for the next two years oversmoking and someone else's house, not even
your parents and your brother. Yourbrother should not have felt any guilt about
that. Whatso, no, notat all. And that's that's again,
uh simple rules. Uh, it'sa mutual that is a mutual respect.
(27:08):
But but for a parent, Uhyeah, that's where you're going overboard.
That's that's not your house, that'sand and you should respect the fact that
you've raised the sun to have hisown set of rules, his own and
his own house, and that canso you have to respect that. And
I think I think moms are realbad about this. Uh, really sticking
(27:33):
their nose in in the family businesswhen it's not your family. You know.
One of the greatest things I heardabout Christmas was that everybody gets worked
up when the kids can't come toyour house for Christmas. That's the thing,
it's not it's not your Christmas.Your Christmas is your Christmas. Everybody
(27:55):
in your house should be there,but everybody outside the house is not obligated
to no longer be at Christmas.And I know that hurts a lot of
people's feeling, especially women, youknow, get very upset that that the
kids aren't all coming home for Christmas. Well, you should be proud that
they're making their own traditions and they'redoing that and got their own life,
(28:18):
and it's and it's a day,you know. So anyway, that's that's
our that's our parenting tips. Ithink everybody good with that. Or yeah,
but yeah, people need to teachtheir sons to shake a firm Handshake
firm hands, look the person inthe eye. How many you get it
on a two shot? How manyhave you seen that? Like, no,
(28:40):
no, no, I don't evenwant a woman shaking my hand like
that. Do not have your handlike this I'm out my lawn guy,
a tree guy. I do myown yard. But the guy that cuts
down my trees, every time Ishake his hands, he's no, no
firm handshake and look the person inthe eye. I taught well, Mike
and I talk Culton that early on. And you know, now we're trying
(29:03):
to teach the three year old grandsonthat. Yeah, but the first time
you shake somebody's hand locked that afterthat moment, you have a completely different
Yeah, you give me the factor. Well, and that also tells me
that it's probably going to be somebodyI can't rely on. And that sounds
weird, doesn't it. Well,but somebody can't look in the eyes one,
I'm like, Yeah, my granddadalways just say if they can't look
(29:26):
in the eye, they're just planningout what how they're going to get around
and steal your wallet, you know, And that's back wheneverybody walk in the
back pocket. You're just going tofigure it out. So, Uh,
anyway, good luck on your parenting. I hope you like the new Top
