Speaker 2 (01:43):
It's a boy. His name is going to be Walker.
You we're excited, and I can.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Tell God, your tone just exudes excitement. I'm not excited
about the last few months of living with a pregnant woman.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Oh that's been rough and hard.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
That's been hard, and I haven't had the patience I
should have. So between the two of us, it's been rough.
You don't say yeah, but that being said one of
the things, yeah, I know you do one of the
things that really bothers me because I'm friends with a
lot of parents now, some good, some not great, some weird.

(02:26):
You can watch the video later on Instagram. I don't
know what you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
I'm crazy. I surprise your eyeballs didn't roll out of
your face.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
So and I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
And what will happen is what happened is we were
at a restaurant, me and my wife a couple of
days ago, a week ago, and we look around the
restaurant and kids as soon as they sit down, headphones
go on, ipants come out, and I'm just really against that.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I don't think it's a good idea. I don't want
to do that.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
My kid, I had a had I got the color
when I was at the restaurant and if I and
I wasn't the best behave kid, but my dad would
look at me, give me the look, and if the
look didn't work, he grabbed me by the arm and
we'd go to the bathroom and he give me a
talking to and I'd come back to the table and
suit my hand, my hands under my butt and like

(03:19):
that's how it was. And I'm sure it sucked for
my parents, but I actually appreciated it looking back, because
I was evolved in the table. So I've said that
me and my wife also want to do this at
the home. We don't want to have the kids on
the iPad in their room. I don't want them just
isolated room. If you want have the TV on whatever,
but you don't isolate the room. So I'll say stuff

(03:42):
like that, and I'll acknowledge it's probably gonna be extremely
difficult and really hard, and what do I always hear back,
I'm acknowledging how hard it's going to be. I get it.
It's gonna be the hardest thing I've ever done in
my life. And what do I always hear back, Oh,
you'll see, just wait as if I have no ability

(04:03):
to say no or be or able to handle a situation,
and it is the most frustrating thing ever. Just because
you can't do it doesn't mean that I.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Can't do it. Wow, Okay, it doesn't stop there.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
I saw a kid at a restaurant at the airport
when we came back from Florida, and it was this kid,
his dad and his mom and like three other kids.
Why they had so many kids, I don't know. And
now I'm going on that in a second. And the kid,
the kid had had a knife in their hand. It
was like four year old with a butter knife, and
she was jumping up and down in the booth and
the parents were just letting her jump up and down

(04:38):
on the booth with the knife in her hand. And
all I thought about was these two broads over here
going just wait, you'll see. I'm sorry. I will never
let my kid do that. I will never let my
kids scream in a restaurant. I will never let my
kids jump up and down in the booth.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
I'm not gonna do it.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
There is an epidemic ep going on with parents not
wanting two parents and you you hear me, I'm listening,
and I get called old school and all this stuff
because I do believe in structure and rules and call
me you know whatever. But I don't let my kid.

(05:18):
I never let my kids do with that kind of stuff.
Just wait, though I went through it, you'll see and
you're able to do it. But you gotta be on it,
and you gotta be You can't do veiled threats and
say things like you better watch yourself and then it's
not me watch yourself.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
And then have nothing happened. You can't do that.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
It sends a bad message. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Okay. I get what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
You can't be best friends with your kids.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
Okay. I get you saying you're gonna try your hardest
with the devices.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's honorable.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
I wish remember when you said your kid wasn't ever
gonna be on the phone and beyond watch TV and.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yeah, so I get.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
All that but when you say things like my kid
will never scream in public.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
That's not what I mean. You're never gonna jump around. Yeah,
that's not what I mean.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
You're gonna do that. But then you go off and
then they sit.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Down and have behavioral issues.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Why do you think because you let them have it?

Speaker 6 (06:24):
Okay, you let them, let them parenting doesn't cause a
kid to have ADHD.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
They're born with it.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Really, that kid, it's gonna scream, But I'm going to
do something about it. Okay, I'm not just gonna let
them stream or let them run to the car.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
That happened, but he has ADHD.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Don't you have ADHD? Don't you have ADHD?

Speaker 3 (06:50):
And so what happened when you would do stupid stuff
like that is five across the parent with parent parent parent.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
So then it gets down to this because then I
still say. I'll say something to Sky and I'm like, Sky,
I'm not sharing the bed in my fifteen year old.
And she'll say, oh wait, you'll see, and I'm like,
wait a minute.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Everyone to share the bed.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
But I mean occasionally you'll go in the room, sit
on the bed, have a conversation.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
I tell Emily, I'm like Emily, my kid's not going
to be my d D when I'm thirteen. Yeah, that's
my son's not driving me around.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
The other thing that I refuse to let myself as
a parent. I see a lot of my buddies in
New York.

Speaker 7 (07:31):
They are huge, what I mean, like overweight, like oh dad,
like you know, like Rakishi bods.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
And I'm not gonna let myself happy that to happen
to me and just wait, I'm not doing it, bike.
I refuse to get fat as a parent. It's not happening.
And this brings it to my next point.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
I refuse to get fat at a parent, Like you
have no idea what it's like, how tired you're going
to be exhausted, and there's gonna be you might put
there's a section where you're like so freaking.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Are you literally saying just wait, just wait, that's what
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (08:08):
Parents that aren't fat though, right obviously, So then why
is it? Why can't I just say it? It's hard,
It's very hard. You don't know how I understand. You
never know what's going to be standing. So your issues
with thor is you're making big proclamations and you don't
really you're basing it on nothing.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I'm not.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
I'm just saying, this is the way I want a parent, right.
I don't want my kid to have an iPad in
his face at dinner. Why is that so difficult? It's
not my parents did it? Eddie did it?

Speaker 2 (08:34):
You know my parents told me no all the time.
I yeah, like they we can do it.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
I look forward to say we can.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
Do It's not all or nothing, like my son isn't
allowed to have that iPad at the dinner table every
single time at all.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
But I mean, I don't want ever ever. Why why
just wait? Eddie's kids don't It's possible. But they will
have an iPad in the room. They will have you
know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (09:04):
You can have iPad living room, no bedroom, no no
bedrooms aren't for fun?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, that one. I can that one. I can't get bad.
I don't know what that means. Way is right?

Speaker 4 (09:13):
The problem is that the kids, and that's why we
have a deep issue in this country. And the deep
issue is too many people are allowed to have kids.
Too many people. I don't have kids. You got Trump
getting political? Oh, now, come on, man saying we're going
to pay you to have kids, which is the most
insane thing. Yes, to give you one thousand dollars and

(09:36):
then put money into like a five twenty nine for
you to have kids, which is so crazy because go
walk around the airport just got pregnant for three minutes,
and you'll see people that should not have kids. There's
about four billion people in this country, in this world,
I'd say about ninety percent of people shouldn't have kids,
which is still about four hundred million people.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Left, million people left. Even half of that shouldn't have kids.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Okay, if I was president, thank god, your God, I
would make every person have to every couple or every
person that gets pregnant, I would have people to come
to their house and do a check on where they
could handle a kid, kind of like when you adopt
a dog. For somebody comes to your house. They make
sure everything's okay, is it safe? Can you handle? That's
what we should do. We should do it for parents,
because not one should be a parent. Should you have

(10:22):
a license, I think you should have a license to
be a parent. Parent license, parent license. Wow, it's easier
to get a driver's us whatever.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
What that line?

Speaker 4 (10:32):
If you can't trick a beer at twenty one, you
shouldn't be able to have a kid.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Well, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
I mean, there's something, something, something. We're shipping people out
of the country left and right.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
We can put your something out. This has really gone
off the rails here. If we were in communist country.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Here, I'm a pretty stubborn guy. If you didn't know,
so telling me you'll see or just wait. I love
it because it happened. So it's almost out of spite now,
no matter what, you're not going to do that.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, okay, I.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Just I just can't wait to see ye see what happens.
You can't wait to see me be a parent?

Speaker 6 (11:11):
Oh, I can't wait to see you be in situations
where you say you think it's that easy, but then like, I.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Don't think it's that easy.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
Literally is very easul It's going to be really hard
my kids throwing tempertension. Please give me the iPad. I'm
just saying, no, I'm not gonna go here. Oh you're
gonn Actually I've seen what you're gonna actually happen. It's
not good.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Why are you taking this personally? I'm not talking about you.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Have a look to me when I'm I'm at dinner
with my nephews and both my nephews have headphones and
iPads on.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
It sucks.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
That's what I want to talk to my nephews. I've
told my sister and she looks like I'm a nut job,
but I.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Want to say, just wait, of course you do.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
Oh there it is better get good at twenty questions.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Bro, God again, this is in nineteen sixty.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
Well, if we're not doing iPads, then we're playing gate
doing something.
