Okay, well, you're definitely in a mood that last you
know thing we're little were you started to go crazy
about all kinds of different things, and you say this

as a parent. Eddie's kids plays sports, Emily's kids play sports.
I don't know what this guy's kid does. And again,
(01:26):
you want your little guy to be Aaron Judge. Maybe
you want your little girl to be a Del But
at the end of the day. But at the end
of the day, at the end of the day, there's
a lot more William Huns than there are Adels. There's
a lot morest Elist diaz Is in the world than
Aaron Judges. But what's crazy is you know how good
(01:50):

the padres like to make it to the majors and
say that he stinks right now, you.
Speaker 1 (01:59):

Speaker 2 (02:01):
So that's like ninety nine percent of people. So right now,
what's going on is a lot of my friends have kids.
So I have a couple buddies who their kid does
something and it's the greatest freaking thing you've ever seen.
I got a buddy who sent me his kid singing,
and this kid's awful. I mean, this kid cannot sing. Oh,
They're terrible. And now like whenever we hang out, I
(02:23):
have to hear the kids sing.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
It's awful. It's awful.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
And I'm at the point when, like I'm saying to myself,
you know what, if my kid sucks at something, I'm
gonna know it pretty click, pretty quickly. If my kid
stinks at singing, I will not force my friends or
send videos. I'm going to tell my kid, hey, enough
with the singing. You can't sing, Let's move on. That's
(02:48):
what we need to do as a society.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
But they enjoy it, it.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Doesn't matter you suck at it. I don't want to
hear it. I don't want to be this delusional parent
who thinks his kid's good at everything. I swear my
buddy is gonna next time I see my buddy, he'll
he'll be out like a rouse and he'll be like, dude,
you should see the way my kid picks out produce.
You'd never say anything like it. It's like they worked
on a farm in a previous life. Everything the kid
(03:11):
does is incredible. I won't be that parent. I refuse
to be that parent. If he sucks, I'm gonna let
him know he sucks. You're gonna tell your kid he
sucks at something? Now, what does this involve? Every like school,
no school, like you suck at math and.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Not get him a tutor.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I'll be like, hey, you need help with math, Bud,
You're gonna get you this guy. This guy me had
a math tutor. I was good at history, not really,
but I was good at history. I knew I wasn't
gonna be I wasn't going around try.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
But let's let me ask you this, because God forbid,
your kid doesn't like football. You're not gonna do that.
You go outside, you take a little walker, and you know,
let's throw the football round.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
And DoD's got football and you see him he doesn't
know football. It would be you're gonna tell him he sucks,
or you're gonna work with him. We'll work with I'll
work with but when you hit a certain age and
he's not good at it, I'll say hey.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I won't say, hey, you suck.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I'll tell his mother that he sucks, but but i'll
pull him aside.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Maybe I'll go, hey, maybe football is not for you.
I won't just repeatedly put him in. I don't know
Little League over and over gets it better.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
You're not gonna take videos though, of him throwing the
bad spiral and tell him he look, we got the
next Eli Manning here?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
No, okay, and listen like it's like it's like we
all have that friend right whose parents told me he
was good at everything. So you go out and the
guy he's funny, you know, hanging out with his buddies.
He's funny, but he's not shankillus you get the next
thing you know, he's on he's doing Open My Who
Comedy Store, and he's terrible, And then you gotta say, yeah, bro,
the material is pretty funny when you know it's bad,
(05:06):
but you feel bad telling most podcasts suck, but there's
a million podcasts. I won't let my kid do that.
If my kid says I want to do a podcast,
I'm gonna tell him no one laugh in his face.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I'm gonna do a podcast about how mean my dad
is and tells me I suck at everything.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
That's a good podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:24):

show you guys this. But my sister texted me and
my family a picture that my nephew drew.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I'm super sweet. Why do you make that noise? I
don't know what kids draw pictures, but this is the mom.
This is the mom.
Speaker 2 (05:46):

Speaker 1 (05:51):
It immediately goes in the fridge. You know what I'm
gonna tell my son. Not every pictures going on the fridge.
Not every picture is going on then the fridge. You
got to earn the fridge. If I want to look
at that every day, you better, body. That's not impressive.

it's great and then crimpled. I know you, what are
(06:34):
you going to do with that? It's okay to tell
your kids they aren't good at something and they suck.
You gotta be better, gotta be better to work for it.
You're just working to get on the fridge. You're working
to get on the fridge the whole time. But you
also don't need to crumple it up and picture that
sky's fridge.

you if you suck, you have to earn it. Life's hard.
I want to teach my son life is hard, and
not every picture is going on the fridge. Not every
girl is gonna want to go out with you, and
you're probably not going to play in the NFL.

you're gonna get with this guy. He's a wild Yeah.
So I go, what do you think of Ethan's artwork?
Speaker 1 (09:58):

You don't know what you're talking about. So then I
start to think to myself, my whole life. He told
me how good of an athlete I was, how fast
I was? I was good at baseball? I was better
than this kid. I was better than that kid. Was
I actually crappy?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
My life alive? Was I actually not good?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Exports has he and the feeling that I have. I
don't want my son to have. So if he draws
something that's a turd, it's getting crumpled up. And and
I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You want the fridge in the fridge.
Speaker 2 (11:02):

liked to.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Hotel not that funny. Tell you were funny. Yeah, I
was funny. I was good looking.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Well, no, I'm not so at the end of the day,
if you're if your wife's pregnant, or you have a
little son or daughter at home, it's okay to say
they suck. And here's another thing. Your friends don't care.
They don't want to see the videos and pictures.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I can harken back to win Guy's daughter was playing sports.
She played soccer and softball, and you know, Sky Sky
was aware that we may not have an athlete here.
I was aware, but very supportive. Yes I was, you know,
and she was you know, still telling her you could
do you could do it. Ye, maybe you'll make it
on ESPN.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
W okay.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And she should have been honest back then and just said,
you know, not for you.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Well, what did we always say? What I would say
to you all the time. She's a drama kiss kid.
I would say that all the time.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
You would tell you that.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
But I didn't ruin her self esteem, and she figured
it out on the cot figured it out.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
On the contrary, I'm not your self esteem.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
After like five seasons of soccer, she figured out, Hey,
maybe I'm not the most I.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Want to waste five years. Think about all the other
stuff she could have been doing in five years. On
the contrary, I'm not ruining her dreams. The countrary the
self esteem, you're I'm setting them up for life. Because
you know who doesn't care about your self esteem?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Life? Wow? Wow? Okay doesn't okay?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Well, and life will kick you down about patting yourself up.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Keep moving forward. There's an interesting outlook. If you suck,
you gotta know it. Okay, well, god, that's it all right,
