Speaker 1 (00:01):
There is something very odd going on at my house.
I don't know what happened. So my kids have always
been good eaters, like, they're not that picky of eater. Skuy.
I know you have no clue what I'm talking to.
What that means? You have no clue what I'm talking about?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Only make three different days.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
I was brought up, You're gonna eat what's on the table.
But what if they don't like it, then you're not eating.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
My mom would tell me, oh, you don't like that, well,
this is what we're making, and that'd be it.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
And if I didn't eat it, I wasn't.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
That's the way it goes. Guess what. Eventually you figure
out how I'm gonna I gotta eat. I'm sorry, and
then you end up going, oh, I kind of like that.
That's what happens. Guys. You don't make your kids separate meals. Okay,
you don't do that. You're just causing yourself a massive problems.
What you know to be so forever it's been that way.

(00:55):
You know, Oh you don't like that, Oh that's too bad,
that's what we're having today. Don't care. But then I
want to say, within the last year there's been a
change in the atmosphere, and I don't know what's happened,
mainly with my daughter, where now my daughter hates everything

(01:15):
and now my son is starting to go down this
dark path. We ain't done yet. It's time for the
one podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Find yet completely uncensored and unacting filtered except for that part.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
The the show's after show starts now. Yeah, I don't
know if it's an age thing or what. I don't
know what's happened. But my daughter, who's now fifteen, has
always been my adventurous eater, will try things. Even if

(01:52):
there's something that I was like, there's no way you're
gonna like this, she'll try it and then kind of
like it, and I'm like, that's crazy. My son he's
been he hadn't missed when it comes to trying new things.
He's got his like go tosh and but but I
mean he'll eat whatever I make. He's not going to
complain about it. He just knows. And then every once
in a while he'll try something which is always crazy

(02:13):
to me, like he eat a fucking can sardine once,
which I was like, dude, out of your mind, Like
that's disgusting and he goes, that wasn't that bad.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Really, it was like huh oh, okay, okay, that's pretty
shock very.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Strange, but whatever. So I've never really dealt with this
issue before. Like you ladies, I don't know how you
do it.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Yeah, Sky is on one massive end. I'm my son
actually likes a bunch of stuff. But like when I
make salad, a salad and a salmon for dinner for
Robert and I, I don't make him eat that. So
I'll just make him something easy like that.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Why not because he's tried it.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
And he hates the salmon, and I'm like, what's the point,
Like it's not it doesn't I don't get that upset
about it. So I'll make him a separate thing once
in a while.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
He doesn't go out back with his pewet gun and
shoot a raccoon do Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
But you know what I have noticed is that he
like things that he's liked. All of a sudden, I'll
make it for him when it was his favorite thing,
and all of a sudden, he's his taste would have changed.
I don't know if like I don't like that anymore.
I'm like, what used to love that? Like that used
to be the dinner.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
True.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
My mom would say, oh, you don't. And then it.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Was like there was a couple of things that I
was not a fan of. Ye, but that's what was
on the table, and yet all the other stuff that's
with it, and that's my dinner for the night. Here's
what it is.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
My mom when I grew up, because I was picky,
my dad was picky. She grew she cooked every dinner
family style, and then you would just put on your
plate what you wanted. And if she wanted to make
fish but she knew I didn't like fish, then on
the table there'd be fish and steak and then you
just take what you want, so like so you just

(03:54):
make your plate as you want it. And there was
never like, of course she would push a vegetable, but
like outside of that, look.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
How we are now?

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Yeah, amazing.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
No, And then you did the same thing with your
daughter and she doesn't eat anything.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, no, she like eats zero food.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
It's crazy. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
The other night I tried to make her enchiladas because
I'm like, she likes plain chicken, she likes tortillas. I'm
just gonna throw a little enchilada sauce on it. Like,
nothing crazy. I didn't put cheese on it.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
I didn't put That's.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
How I made me, you know, yeah, with onion and
all that. But she still wouldn't eat it because of
the sauce. And after dinner, you know what my takeaway was,
I said to my husband and go, oh, well, next time,
I'll just make it plain with no sauce. And my
husband goes, no, tortilla was just chickenid, yeah, you're just
giving her chicken and a tortillas.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Any was there ever a thought of like, Okay, I
know I'm such a picky eater because of how I
grew up. I can't do that.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
No, no, like, not because asked an answer, not because
I didn't like I was anti what you're saying. I
just honestly didn't process it like I thought how I
grew up was normal and everybody grew.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Up like that.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
That's finding we had kids. We all told you what
you did was messed up.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, I guess so, but I guess I just thought
you guys like were just saying that. I don't know,
but I honestly didn't even like process it or cross
my mind. And then what made this problem ten times worse,
which I recently came to the realization is all of
our to go food because a normal family cooks a
meal and you got to eat what's on the table
when you're getting to go food. What would you like

(05:24):
from this menu? What would and everybody gets to order,
you get to pick your own thing. And so now
like we are incapable of all three of us eating
the same item.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
It's crazy.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
It sucks.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, I get it. That's not great. So I'm still
in the world of whatever I'm making for dinner, that's
what we're having.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
But if we do do the thing where we're gonna
get takeout food is a wild process now where my
daughter hates everything. Oh, I don't know what happened. I
don't know what happened. It's crazy. I can like so
now it has told me.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
It too much.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
I don't know. Just like barbecue doesn't like nacho cheese sauce.
She doesn't like meat looaks. I know, dud wait met
loaf is a staple. First First, I don't know, you're
not your cheese sauce. Sw I shouldn't even I shouldn't
even brought it up. She got nachos the other day
I got it from a Mexican place, so you know

(06:18):
it's normally liked cheese melted or whatever. Well this place
did not your cheese sauce. And she's like, I'm not
eating that, And I was like, what's the she her mind?

Speaker 4 (06:26):
She doesn't like it, Like, I've never heard of a
kid not liking that. I would drink it. That's what.
That's what go home and say to Taylor, is that
what you want to be?

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I don't. I don't want to. I don't want I
don't want to.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
And then that's one of my favorite things on her.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
I love. All of a sudden, she's like, no, I
don't like meatloafs anymore. I mean there's been countless things
that have popped up, but I don't like that.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
But what do you tell her?

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Well, for meat loaf, I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
It not a diet thing, right, because she's fifteen, and
you know, girls like.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
No, it's so weird. It's so weird. Girls are so weird.
It could be so weird. Glad we grew out of that.
Yesterday two things happened yesterday. Yesterday. My daughter gets home
first and she's hungry. She's like, I didn't eat lunch.
I need to eat, make myself something. I go, I'll

(07:21):
just have bowl cereal because I mean it's like three
we're gonna eat dinner, you know, in like two hours,
and so so I go just have something small, eat
a bowl cereal because dad, I haven't eaten cereal in
like two years.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
I hate, like she's so cool.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I'm not here in the morning, so I'm not aware
of this. You haven't eaten cereal in two years? Kids
talking about I don't like cereal.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Okay's such a fucking moron that I think that's cereal.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
They're all so different.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
I would understand if there's one.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
It doesn't make any sense. But like you have like eighties,
I know it's insane. So that I all right, We'll
just have some yogurtin I don't like yogurt.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
How is this kid eat?

Speaker 1 (08:16):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (08:17):
You're just gonna suggest that you what are you talking about? Like?

Speaker 1 (08:21):
What is going on? So I don't I go get
a fucking uncrustable get out of here. I don't know you.
I don't like peanut butter and jelly. Oh god, alright,
shut then up. You're going hunger.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
I don't care what mom would say at that point
and shew a piece of gum and should walk away.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
That is your big thing.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
I should be half.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
I tried it.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Half, I've tried it and it was citnadon, which is disgusting.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
So I got that going on. And then my son
has become a little bit more picky, which is really
weird because usually doesn't say anything. And I guess this
is gone to the cereal realm. Now. The other day
it was going grocery shopping and Debra says to me,
she goes, oh, we need cereal. We don't. We have

(09:09):
four open boxes, but that's enough cereal. We go crazy
with the cereal and and it's it's it's Deborah and
Jack mostly. And then I have my two cereals.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Cleary, I haven't even there on two years.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Defend you got to you got yours, and you got
your prospects.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
That's where I live. Yeah, and so yeah, those are
my go two cereals. And then they they bounce all
over the place. My son's favorite cereal, that is his
main cereal, is cinnamon Toa's crunch. But Deborah, now I'm
starting to like analyze this. Deborah is the one that
likes the variety of cereals. She likes a variety of cereals,
different flavors, mateials. She's a big shredded wheat fan, so

(09:54):
the different flavors of those crazy. Yeah, she's a little
wild and so all those things every once in a while.
So want a healthy cereal, I'll get you. You're cauhey,
can you give me some granola plane? Okay? Anyway, so

(10:16):
I'm the grocery shopper, Okay, no problem. So she says
to the other day, we need cereal and get Jack
a different cereal. He needs to change up his cereal
because he's pretty locked in of like what he likes
and that's all he eats. I wonder, you know, so
you know, he goes, I go, well, we have some
intost crunch in there, still, right, he goes, yeah, I go.
She goes, get him something different? Okay, what deal.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Like something similar or just having completely different? I got
I got pretty specific.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
What's different?

Speaker 1 (10:46):
You're a thirteen year old kid, Like I remember when
I was thirteen year old, if my parents came home
with fruit loops or cocoa puffs, any of those things,
that's a fucking wind bro. Hell yeahps, those are boring,
Like I want some like flavored milk. Now you want
your milk to turn a color? Yeah, I get that

(11:09):
ship out of here. Those are losers.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Can test some mother fruit, that's it.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah. And so so I'm going down cereal aisle and
I'm like, huh, I don't know what to do here,
And so I decide, all right, well they have this
newer uh treaded mini wheat that are chocolate and they
have chocolate in the middle. Whoa as, I know that
sounds good like and I know for some wild reason

(11:42):
if Jack doesn't like it debor eat it, because he's
a big shpread of wheat chick. And so I was like,
all right, that that one makes sense. And I go, well,
I'm gonna get another one just to be sick, just
to just to be safe. That's insane. And so obviously
I gotta go with something that's fun. And I go, well,
I gotta go in the fruit or realm fruit by

(12:02):
the way, chocolate.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
You just got the healthy chocolate.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
So I go, I can go tricks, I can go
lucky charms, fruit loops or fruit realm bro. Sorry, So
I go, you know what forry pebbles?

Speaker 4 (12:21):
You don't know. I could, but I decided the roof
of your mouth will be I can't. I can't like Taylor.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
I haven't had fruity pebbles and.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
I don't even like it, So I go pebbles kid
wouldn't like fruity pebbles anything whatever. So get home yesterday
I say to my wife. Did Jack try the cereal?
He goes, yeah, he wasn't a big fan of the
U chocolate frosted many Weeds? And I said, really, why?
I like, how could you not be a fan of

(12:58):
that chocolate?

Speaker 5 (12:59):
Any kid too?

Speaker 1 (13:00):
He loves chocolate?

Speaker 4 (13:01):
A reason for a kid? I don't.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
I don't even understand, Like that doesn't make sense to me,
But all right, I go, So then did he try
the other one? Yeah? He didn't like it?

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Oh my god, he didn't. He didn't like it?

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Why why? I'm like stunned. And so now I'm like, okay.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
No answer to why, Like it's too sweet, not really just.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Don't don't like it? No, thank you, I don't know.
Maybe I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. And
so now I'm okay with the shred of many weeks
because never will eat it? What will I do with
fruity pebbles? Because my daughter, I haven't even said.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
Yet, she's not eating so much, is so healthy, but
she wouldn't bother eating with fruity's eating chocolate filled.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
For you. You're telling me fruity pebble, So I'm like,
what the hell? Like, I'm not just gonna waste this
box of cereal. I'm not a fruity pebble guy. I
haven't eaten fruity pebbles like a million years, I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
This morning, Emily caught me, and I was hoping this
was going to kind of go under the radar and
YouTube weren't paying attention. No, what does Emily do? Of course,
first thing, she locks eyes on my fruity pebbles that
I brought in and was so confused.
