We're going through my littlest dude, um, who's gonna be turning two at the end of May, um, is still working on a bottle. Oh, shit. And he, he's like a fucking addict. Like he, it, it's, it's a, it's a thing. Oh. So, so it's something we're working on. He's like pulling extra bottles out from under his pillow when you go to bed at night. He's like, did you ever watch Exorcism Exorcism of Emily Rose? Speaker 1 00:01:22 I have. Where D Dexter's sister gets all fucking, all Wow. Like all tangled up and we Yes. Yeah, he's like that. Oh, yuck. Yeah. So it's, uh, it's something we're working on. So that's been a, you know, it's been a progress. Okay. Well, it has been a real fucking toddler this week. Well, I'm sorry. Hey, man. It's all right. Um, my week has been normal. Uh, my week has been normal. I've been working from home, which is great. Um, real sad thing happened yesterday. Uh, well, to me, I'm not talking about like the six mass shootings we've had. I'm talking about mm-hmm. <affirmative>, something that's sad that happened to me is a baby bird fell out of the palm tree and cracked it skull. Oh no. Yeah, it's right. It's right in front of the house. I haven't cleaned it up yet. <laugh>. I'm not sure if I should bury it or just wait for a cat to grab it. Speaker 1 00:02:07 I'm not sure what to do. It might be gone already. It's, and we're still there this morning. <laugh> <laugh>. I decided to ruin Blaine's Day with it. I'm like, check this out. <laugh> <laugh>. He took it pretty hard. <laugh>. I, uh, well, you come over to my house, I've got, uh, a little bird's nest and they're just chirping away. It's, it's, it's happy. Oh, happy nature at my place, man, that fucking owl is back. Oh, no, I didn't. I, I didn't, I don't know, like if there's a mating season for owls, but man, I, you guys have heard me complaining about it on this pod, but owls make this God awful sound and one set up a nest near the house, and it's like, they're nocturnal so they're awake, like, at all through the night. Like, it's a terrible look for sidewalk birds. Yeah. Oh yeah. <laugh>. I think that's might be the old, the old, uh, renter that is sitting on my front. Um, but yeah, I, the New Horizon came out and you, you saw my frustrated text last night. Speaker 2 00:03:08 <laugh>. Yeah. It, um, Speaker 1 00:03:09 The dlc. Speaker 2 00:03:10 Yeah. So, horizon Zero, Dawn Horizon, what's in the horizon? Forbidden West Speaker 1 00:03:14 Is Forbidden West is a new year. Speaker 2 00:03:15 When it came out last year, uh, it's awesome. I love this franchise. Speaker 1 00:03:19 It's amazing. It's Speaker 2 00:03:20 So cool. You're like, uh, the past future where it's like so far into the future where they're down in the past and they have all these little mechanical bits they've sewn together. Yeah. And there's mechanical animals and dinosaurs, and you gotta, you know, use a bow and arrow and shoot their parts off. It's fantastic. And the new one came out yesterday or so we thought, Speaker 1 00:03:38 Oh. So we thought, I, I pre-ordered it and it, right, it said right next to the tag, and I checked it multiple times. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Cause that's how excited I have been is that it was coming, it should have been coming out on the 18th. And it didn't work. It was not working for me. It, Speaker 2 00:03:56 No, it was not. I, Speaker 1 00:03:57 It said like, here, download the new one. I'm like, I did. I clicked the download. It said, it's already installed. And then when I started the game, it wasn't there. And so I started to get very angry and I realized it's just a video game. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, it's a bug. They'll figure it out. And so I'm like, maybe I'm doing it wrong. So I started researching like, how do I start it? They're like, super easy. Once it says installed, you start the game and it's gonna be like, welcome to the new one. And I'm like, I did that. Speaker 2 00:04:21 You motherfucker, I hate that because I read that, that same article. And it's like, you are like, oh, thank you for telling me. This is what you're supposed to do. <laugh>. You're supposed to walk around. And, uh, I read. So, because the thing is like, you're supposed to, Hey, the world starts, you get a Cal communication, your game starts. It just wasn't happening. Like, I read a comment, like, I've been walking around for half an hour, nothing's happening. I Speaker 1 00:04:39 Thought like I had to like do a mission or something. And then after that was done, uh, it was very, very frustrating. Speaker 2 00:04:44 It was super Speaker 1 00:04:44 Frustrating. Very nerd frustrations. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, uh, very, very annoying. I that, you know what, hats off to Reddit for being so quick. Cuz even Twitter people were like, I ain't got to problem, blah, blah, blah. Like, Reddit real quick. One guy was like, here's an article. People are having issues. They're gonna fix it. Here's another article, like you said the 19th. Yeah. I was like, cuz it said April 19th, forbidden West, ready to go. And I'm like, is it eight the 19th Speaker 2 00:05:09 <laugh>? It was, uh, it's confusing. And it's also like how far we've come from, like, whenever a game came out, oh, back in my day when a game came out, you went to a Toys of Rush and you got it. Like, you just picked it up cuz you pre-order it and you had your little ticket, you know? Yeah. Uh, so physical media, like, you know, the digital, the, you know, sometimes technology's a fucking pain in the ass, man. Speaker 1 00:05:27 It really is. Like, I, I remember going to Toys Russ and getting that ticket. Yeah. Or like Blockbuster. Like I, that was when I knew Game dropped, getting that physical, Speaker 2 00:05:36 Uh, or even like, we were in college and shit going like the midnight releases at GameStop or Speaker 1 00:05:40 Whatever. Like, oh shit, I didn't, I wasn't like that, bro. You didn't do that? Nah, cuz like, I was the type of guy that when a new game came out, I knew full well I'm gonna play that game in like a couple months. <laugh>. Like, I, I, I didn't even have new game money, so I knew that, like, when that game came out, I'm like, I'll cop this from a homie like in two months when they're done <laugh>. Like, that's when everybody was on GTA five. Like taught, like, luckily there wasn't like spoilers and shit. I just knew like two months later, I'm gonna get that shit <laugh>. I ain't got $79. This is spend on a murder video game. But yeah, it's, uh, I don't wanna keep dragging you down my nerd hole. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, nerd Hole <laugh>. Uh, but yeah. Um, a really interesting story that Blaine brought up was, uh, popcorn Gate. Speaker 2 00:06:26 Uh oh. Speaker 1 00:06:27 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was that American Airlines? We don't even know the airline, but Popcorn Gate. Uh, you, you heard about this? Uh, Speaker 2 00:06:33 Even I heard about it. Is it professional? Uh, baseball, Speaker 1 00:06:36 Right? Yeah. Anthony Bra. Uh, uh, Anthony Bass. Yeah. Anthony Bass. Speaker 2 00:06:40 Or Anthony Bass, if you're nasty. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:06:42 <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:06:43 Yeah. I guess he was on a plane with his family. Uh, and they were eating popcorn and made a big, big mess like kids do on the plane or kids anywhere. He tweeted about it, uh, saying like, Hey, can you believe this? They wanted to make me clean up this kid's mess. And the world said, yes, we can believe it. <laugh> <laugh>. And he was Speaker 1 00:07:02 Shocked. It's like, I didn't, I didn't know who Anthony Bass was, but I was explaining to you until, uh, our producer pulled up his picture. I'm like, this doesn't sound like something a black dude would do. <laugh> like, this sounded like some white people's shit. Speaker 2 00:07:14 It sounded like a rich person thing. And then, uh, honestly, I mean, hey, we're all, we're joking here. We're having fun here. Like, looking at those kids. Those kids look like some fucking popcorn smashers. Yeah, Speaker 1 00:07:24 They do. Speaker 2 00:07:24 Look, they look like some kids that'll make a mess. I, um, back, uh, you know, years ago, uh, one of the, uh, female leads of the Big Bang Theory brought her, uh, kids into the restaurant I was working at. And they made a huge fucking mess that didn't clean up any of it. Speaker 1 00:07:38 Ah, Jesus. Uh, yeah, I guess so. It's kind of like the world works for me. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:07:42 Uh, that's, he's also on Roseanne too. Okay. <laugh>. Just, just narrow it down. <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:07:47 <laugh>. Okay. <laugh>. Oh, uh, Blaine just got it. Blaine's like, oh, okay. All right. Well, we're not trying to drag anybody here. Not trying to drag anybody here. But, Speaker 2 00:07:57 Uh, as parents, like, I understand there is some leeway, like, you know, even at restaurants, like, you try to do your best. Like, cause I know our kids are like, your kids can be little fucking animals. Like, and it is your job, like, you're supposed to take care of your kids. Like Speaker 1 00:08:11 Yeah. That's, that's your only job. That's your job. That, that's never gonna go away. Yeah. Like never Speaker 2 00:08:15 Stopping. If they made a message your house, like you would clean it up, right? Speaker 1 00:08:19 Or the made will Speaker 2 00:08:20 Mm, yeah. <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:08:21 What class of people we talk about here? Bennett? Yeah. Speaker 2 00:08:24 Well, he ain't wrong. I guess <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:08:27 Um, but I like, I understand the world's frustration. I told you, uh, one of the points, they're like, oh, you gave the kids the popcorn and his wife was pregnant and they said that he was he on the flight? Because that's what I don't understand. So they made his pregnant wife clean up the mess. Oh. And he, cuz like, the first time I heard it, I thought like, this dude was just sitting there like, they're like, clean it up. And you're like, you're gonna make my wife clean it up. They're like, we just said, clean it Speaker 2 00:08:55 Up. <laugh>. All right. So the full story is his wife was on a flight Yes. With their kids. Yes. The kids made a mess. The flight attendant was like, Hey lady, can you clean this up? He was mad about Speaker 1 00:09:05 It. You know what? I uh, Speaker 2 00:09:08 How pregnant are we talking? Yeah. Speaker 1 00:09:10 <laugh>. 22 weeks. Okay. You know what? Speaker 2 00:09:17 I, Speaker 1 00:09:18 You know what? Because like, listen, I, Speaker 2 00:09:20 Oh, here we go. I might, I might be changing my, I'm Speaker 1 00:09:22 Changing my mind. <laugh>. I, cuz I've traveled with one kid. One kid, not pregnant. Uhhuh. And this poor pregnant woman had two kids and the, they made a mess on the plane. I mean, I think Speaker 2 00:09:40 You tried to do your best, but like, if, if there were being, if the flight attendant was being a little, a little nasty, I don't know. Speaker 1 00:09:46 I see. We weren't there. We don't know. But now, ah, I Speaker 2 00:09:48 Hate, so this is it. This I hate social media. Speaker 1 00:09:50 This is what happened. I hate it. We heard the tagline, we were happy, the headline made us happy. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. I'm like, look at these rich fucking assholes. And now that we are reading more into it, I kind of feel bad for the mom as Speaker 2 00:10:01 A parent. Speaker 1 00:10:01 Yeah. Like, and like, wait, how old are the kids? It looks like a, like a six year old and a three-year-old. Speaker 2 00:10:07 I mean, that little popcorn smash shirt five and two. I'm sure she's gonna be all right. Yeah. <laugh> Speaker 1 00:10:12 Five and two. First of all, the flight attendant should have seen this and been like, yo, Speaker 2 00:10:19 Look at, look at the headphones and got, I, they, oh, it's, oh, Speaker 1 00:10:22 That's not, that's Speaker 2 00:10:23 Not that big mess. That's Speaker 1 00:10:25 Not a huge mess. We're looking at the <laugh>. You know what, Speaker 2 00:10:29 Fuck white. It's a, Speaker 1 00:10:30 Yeah. Okay. You know what, Speaker 2 00:10:32 I'm a 180. This, Speaker 1 00:10:33 I'm a, I'm 180 2. I'm all about the rich whites now. Fuck that noise. I'm with the rich whites now. I'd have never thought this would happen. It's Speaker 2 00:10:41 Like a dozen pieces of popcorn. I picked that up in 30 seconds. Speaker 1 00:10:44 Don't even know. I will have both kids in my hand and I can clean that up on my butt cheeks. This is, Speaker 2 00:10:49 I mean, to be fair, it, it is like, I'm pregnant too. Speaker 1 00:10:51 <laugh>, you know, with this knee injury I'm going through. Like, I tried to bend down the other day and that sounded like some motherfucking popcorn. I'll tell you right now. <laugh>, it was a, it was definitely eyeopening. Uh, Speaker 2 00:11:02 Okay. This is, uh, why we shouldn't have social Speaker 1 00:11:05 Media. Yeah. This, I mean, yeah, I guess so. Because like, the entire world, like, I should have realized that the entire world's gonna agree on something on the internet. It's gonna be terrible Speaker 2 00:11:16 <laugh>. Because Speaker 1 00:11:16 Now I'm like, I disagree and I'm not just trying to be a trendsetter or some shit going against the grain, but I Speaker 2 00:11:22 Am. But that's nothing to Speaker 1 00:11:23 Do with this. Not, nothing to do with this. Like a two year old and a five year old and a 22 year old pregnant woman flying alone. And they're gonna roll up to her and be like, you gotta clean that up. Like, I, like me. I would've been like, you could try and make me, Speaker 2 00:11:39 Me. I wouldn't be on that flight. <laugh>. <laugh>. Not without backup. <laugh> Speaker 1 00:11:45 You. If I had, if I was going like, so you're telling me right now, you would never fly with your kids? Just, just you with two? Both of 'em. Speaker 2 00:11:51 Well, I mean, it's, uh, Speaker 1 00:11:53 Have you ever flown with your kids by yourself? Speaker 2 00:11:55 No. No. No. I mean, we've flown with, uh, just miles and Yeah. We, uh, I can't, I can't think straight right now, <laugh>. Um, but like, maybe like I've taken, you know, the two dudes, like, we do some outings together, like parks and stuff like that. And they're getting close to the age where they're getting, like, they won't run off in separate directions. Okay. Uh, which is the big deal. It's like, that's the, that's the thing that's holding us back, is they have to stop when they run away. Like <laugh>, they got two of 'em. It's really hard to manage. Yeah. <laugh> on a flight. Um, I don't, I mean, it's solid. Maybe, dude, I can't, if you got, because it's tough. Like every, I mean, every day is tough. Like, referee in these two dudes, Speaker 1 00:12:30 I, I, I flew to Nigeria with a 10 month old mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And it had the opposite of annoying effect because you've met my son. He's like the most outgoing nerd in like, he just loves everyone. Yeah. He's always been that way. But like, he's usually like, when somebody shows up, he's usually like shy, but it doesn't take you a long time to win him over. Like, you gotta put in the work, but he's not gonna be like, eh, get away from me. And that's not it. He's just like, who is that? And you're like, I'm Ben. And he is like, Speaker 2 00:12:58 Okay. Hey Speaker 1 00:12:58 Man, <laugh>. Um, but on the flight people wouldn't let him sleep. They're just like, oh my God, he's so cute. They were bringing him toys. I'm like, where are you getting all these airplane toys? Like freshly wrapped squeezy airplanes, like a ball that said, you know, uh, NWA Airlines and then like a hat and like the, they, he's wearing like the captain little hat with the, I'm just like, what is going on here? Speaker 2 00:13:23 <laugh>. Like, Speaker 1 00:13:24 I was tired as hell. I'm like, you know, he is gotta go to bed. And then people are just like peeking to paying peekaboo with him through the seat holes. And I'm just like, this is everybody Speaker 2 00:13:33 <laugh> because Speaker 1 00:13:34 Take a break. I don't know if you've ever seen those. They have those little bassinets that hang in the front of the plane. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So yeah, we sat in the front of the plane mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So we had leg room, um, like we're the front row uhhuh before, you know, first class, uh, the bougie class. But they have these bassinets that hang on the wall that you just put your Cade their baby in. I had no idea. And they just, I didn't ask for it, but I knew I flew in those seats. No one offered me that thing. <laugh> on the way back, the cute baby got the bassinet Speaker 2 00:14:00 <laugh> <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:14:02 And yeah, he was cute. You know, he only had the two teeth, you know, so like, it was that point. But, um, yeah, I, I I, I side with the rich whites on this one. That's, uh, wow. It's not something I thought I'd say Put that on a pl Yeah. Don't, don't at me. Speaker 2 00:14:17 <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:14:19 I should, I should just have <laugh> a card. Speaker 2 00:14:22 I'm gonna cut in, uh, some heinous things before that. And they're like, I agree with the grief. The rich whites on this <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:14:30 Yeah. Speaking of school shootings, I si with the rich whites now. Yeah. Um, but yes. Uh, unfortunately we're 110 days into the year. 162 mass shootings. Um, that's, we had that terrible one in Alabama. Speaker 2 00:14:45 Uh, it's, it's really hard to keep track, which is fucking crazy. Speaker 1 00:14:48 It's, it's, it's very frustrating. And you know, we, you look at those, the, the, uh, Tennessee council members that were expelled because they used a blow horn mm-hmm. <affirmative>, which they thought was throwing a tantrum. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> like these guys, they're throwing a tantrum because some people got shot. Speaker 2 00:15:07 Not even, you know, that's a whole, like the, the two, the two black guys got expelled. The one white woman stayed. Yeah. I mean, I'm like just calling her like a season calling strikes and balls as I see it, but it seems like a little on the nose. Speaker 1 00:15:18 Yeah. You can call a spade a spade. They call Thoses guys Speaker 2 00:15:21 A couple of Speaker 1 00:15:22 Spades. <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:15:23 Jesus Christ. Speaker 1 00:15:25 <laugh>. I'll tell you right now. Yeah, man. Like this white woman just being like, I don't know why they, like, if you really wanna know, I'll say it. She's looking around like, should I say it? Speaker 2 00:15:36 Should I say it? I'm a white Speaker 1 00:15:37 Woman. Say it. I'm a white woman. They're black. That's why they got expelled. But I'm glad that they're back in. Um, they're, they're, they got their jobs back. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, unanimous decision, you know, uh, this whole thing of decorum and like, it's Speaker 2 00:15:52 Bullshit. It's insane. It's, Speaker 1 00:15:52 It's, it's insane. Speaker 2 00:15:53 Like, oh, it's too soon. Or, oh, we can't talk about it yet. It's like, it's con it's constant. Yeah. We have to talk about it. We have to do something, uh, because we're not doing anything. And it's very obvious we're not at this point. Yeah. That's People are dying every day from stupid shit. Speaker 1 00:16:07 Yeah, man. Like, and the fun, the cra not the funny thing, the crazy thing is like, we, for so long, we were like concentrated on just school shootings and mass shootings, but thank God people are shining lights on, like the random acts of violence all over the country. A guy, like a fucking 13, 14 year old black kid shows up at the wrong door to pick up his little brothers and is shot three times, four times. Like, yeah. Twice. Speaker 2 00:16:32 Yeah. One through the door. Then he opened the door and tried to in shot him again. Speaker 1 00:16:35 I shot him again while he was down. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. What Speaker 2 00:16:38 The fuck? A child? Yeah. Speaker 1 00:16:39 A child. Another woman pulls into the wrong driveway in New York and is shot dead. What the fuck? Two cheerleaders get into the wrong car and then get out and are shot by the driver. Yeah. What is happening? Two cheerleaders in high school, cheerleaders and cheerleading outfits. Random acts of violence, man. Speaker 2 00:17:00 It's because one of the la like the, you know, the south, one of the sides, uh, a very loud voice of the side is saying, we need more guns. Like, everyone needs a more, everyone, you know, good guys with a guns, everyone needs a gun. This is what happens. Like, we're looking at it, we're living in this world right now where there's more guns. Everyone can get a gun. There's open carry. There's, you know, all of those, all of those states. Like, I mean, it's not all the states in New York. I don't, you know, it it, it's maddening. Speaker 1 00:17:26 Yeah. Speaker 2 00:17:27 And everyone just be like, Hmm. It's just the way it is now. Just you might, yeah. You just might get shot. Just, hey, he might just, yeah. Just be carefully. Might get shot. Speaker 1 00:17:34 Dude, I, there's a, that episode of the Office, I think it was like the last season where Nelly, uh, makes the comment. She's like, they all told me if I go to America, I'm gonna get murdered. <laugh>. Like, it's Speaker 2 00:17:47 Fucking, Speaker 1 00:17:48 You know, you laugh at it, you're like, ha ha ha. No, it's true. It's very, very true. You know, like, my cousins are talking about this shit. My cousins are like, yo, if you come here, my cousin kk, he like, brought it up. Like, think about it. Like, we like, so I wanna let you everyone know something about West Nigeria. It's mostly like city. Like, uh, you know, Lagos is over there. You have Abuja. Um, Abuja. And then I said, Abuja, Jesus Christ. Mom's gonna slap me. <laugh>, uh, the capitol in the north, very big, very prosperous, but gun violence is a fucking thing. But when Nigeria is like, oh shit, we won't go to America. Y y'all need to take a look at yourselves. Like, that is a fucking problem. Yeah, Speaker 2 00:18:29 It Speaker 1 00:18:29 Is a fucking problem. It's very scary. It's very, very scary. But, um, yes. What we are talking about today are tantrums and tantrums, like how you deal with them. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, how they come in, like adult tantrums are a whole nother thing that <laugh> we can get into a little bit later. But I wanna know how you deal with it. If you remember throwing, like the last tantrum you've thrown mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Um, and we're gonna be right back to talk about it. You cool with that? Oh, absolutely. <laugh>. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back. This is papa. Don't preach. Speaker 2 00:18:57 I'm gonna hold my breath until we get Speaker 1 00:18:58 Back. Please don't. Jesus Christ. All right. And we are back. And I believe Bennett still's not breathing. Are you, are you holding your breath? Speaker 2 00:19:31 I forgot that bit. <laugh>. All good. All good. <laugh>. Wow. That held my breath a long time. <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:19:43 And we're Speaker 2 00:19:44 Back. Speaker 1 00:19:45 So today we are talking about tantrums. Uh, we've all had them kids. Tantrums. Speaker 2 00:19:53 <laugh>. I'm an idiot. Speaker 1 00:19:55 <laugh>, you could Speaker 2 00:19:56 <laugh> <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:19:57 Listen, if you have a baby, if you have a toddler, you've experienced this, you've experienced temper tantrums, how to deal with it, what they mean. Like normally instinctually you just wanna fix the problem. That might not necessarily be the case. Uh, and it's, it's very beneficial to understand where it's coming from, how to handle it. And some tools to help, uh, you know, minimize the amount of tantrums you're gonna deal with. The inevitable amount of tan <laugh> Yeah. Tantrums you're gonna deal with as a parent. But yeah, let's get into it. My first question for you, Ben, do you remember the last time you had a tantrum? Oh, Speaker 2 00:20:32 You're gonna right off the bat, huh? Speaker 1 00:20:33 Right off the bat. I want to Speaker 2 00:20:34 Hear it. All right. Well, I want to hear it. I do. <laugh>. I remember last time I had an adult temper tantrum, uh, at, uh, strangers. Um, right. Hey. Right after the pandemic started, we could like, get back on the streets. Everyone's feeling weird, acting weird. Speaker 1 00:20:47 Oh, Jesus Christ. I, uh, Speaker 2 00:20:49 Made a mobile order at Starbucks. Um, oh my God. Right close to closing time. Not close to closing time. But apparently I, once I made this mobile order, uh, the door was locked. Oh shit. So I had to wait in line with my car, which is not why I do mobile orders. <laugh>. And the, the car line was like, tw I'm not exaggerating. 12 cars deep. Uh, so it was like, and I had to do, I was like doing something. I was like, I was frustrated cuz I was about to, I just, I did a mobile order cause I don't like waiting in line. Yep. That's, I mean, it's just, it's, that's me. That's a me thing. I understand. That's a me thing. That's Speaker 1 00:21:19 The, that's the Bennett family crest. Speaker 2 00:21:20 Yeah. Walking away, someone refusing to wait in line. Yeah. <laugh>. Yeah. So I parked my car, I hopped in, the door was locked. So I was like, well, fuck. Like, I, I, what the hell? So I went around, uh, and I didn't, I mean, harass is a strong Speaker 1 00:21:32 Word. Oh my Speaker 2 00:21:32 God. But I was like, Hey, like to the person, the drive-through, it's like, Hey, I just placed a place, you know, order on the app. Can I get it through the, you know, just hand it to me here? She's like, no, you have to get Yeah. This, you're legal. You can't do this. It's like, look, I know you made it. She's like, how'd you know it? We made it like, well, I, I, because I placed order five minutes ago, I'm sure you made it already <laugh>. She's like, well, you can't do this. I was like, just, can you just hand it to me? And I, I kept getting heated and heated. There's a car staring at me. <laugh> waiting for their coffee. <laugh> as I'm, as I'm tampering, as I'm tipper tampering all over this poor S star Starbucks lady. Oh geez. Because I want my coffee. Cause I don't wanna wait in my car in a line. The coffee already paid Speaker 1 00:22:07 For. I'm so uncomfortable right Speaker 2 00:22:08 Now. <laugh>. Oh, I know. The thing is like, when I get heated, I'm six two and a giant. So people get uncomfortable. Yeah. <laugh>. And so ultimately I did, she, she, she handed like a pro. She's like, I'm very sorry, I cannot get it to you. It's a against policy. But if you go to the app, you get refunded. She put her foot down and I, uh, and yeah, more power to her. But like, I was like, just gimme the coffee. Like I could, I know. I could see it from here. She's like, it's not our policy, Speaker 1 00:22:35 Man. If you started screaming at me, I'd definitely get uncomfortable. You got one of them. Like, storm the capital beards too. <laugh>. I'm like, not ready for it. Speaker 2 00:22:42 Antler away from Asham. And I understand that. <laugh>, Speaker 1 00:22:47 Uh, I, I think I throw a tantrum like once every two or three days. Speaker 2 00:22:52 <laugh>, Speaker 1 00:22:53 <laugh>. But like, luckily, sometimes people aren't around. Like I've, I've learned to deal with it. Like, I remember a big temper tantrum that caused me to pass out. Cuz I woke up on the stairs. I had no idea. I didn't know why I was so like discombobulated. Is Speaker 2 00:23:09 It an adult or child? Uh, Speaker 1 00:23:10 I was like an adult. I was like 22. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> 21, 22. And I remember I was at my mother's house and at this point, like, I think I just moved back in from like a friend's, you know, like one of those like co-op, Hey, we have a house wherever you can find a place to sleep, you know, you just pay for groceries, type shit. <laugh>. Like, I was doing that, like basically being a bum. And I'm like, I'm not doing this anymore. Fuck this. I'm gonna go home. And I got into a, an argument with my mother about this like, simple, like house cleaning stuff. And like, something I didn't do wasn't good enough. And I'm like, you have to see how the rest of these motherfuckers live. Like, you have to trust that you raised a competent human. Mm-hmm. Like, I got this. Like, why you try talking to me like I'm four? Speaker 1 00:23:58 And she's like, Ooh, big man. Oh, you move out. Then you come back in big man. And I'm like, oh, this bitch is trying to like, I understand now that she was trying to rile me up. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And like, I hung up the phone and I remember throwing it down the stairs and punching the wall. And the next thing I know I woke up like on the landing of the stairs and I looked, I felt like I was in a dream. Yeah. And I was like, wait, what the fuck? And I looked down the stairs. There's my smashed <laugh>, like little flip phone <laugh>. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And I like walk up the stairs and I see the hole in the wall. Uh, and I'm like, oh shit. Did I pass? Did I thought you raged out. You're like, what the hell? So I just like put a towel on my head, went to bed, like, just kind of like calmed down, woke up, put my, this just to sh uh, to show you how long ago this was. I had a PlayStation two <laugh>. I had a PlayStation two. And I was playing San Andreas at the time to calm Speaker 2 00:24:50 Down. Didn't play DVDs on that bad Speaker 1 00:24:51 Boy. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. But yeah, I remember I was playing <laugh> San Andreas and, you know, just blowing up the city, making myself feel better, Speaker 2 00:24:59 Like shooting the same person. Speaker 1 00:25:02 Oh, you disappeared. You're gonna be back. I know where you're gonna respond. <laugh> <laugh>. But yeah. Uh, that was the last adult tantrum I can remember clearly. But yeah, I throw like mini many fits when I get frustrated. Like, just like, oh god damn Speaker 2 00:25:16 It. I am, oh, I'm def I I get frus. I mean, who, I get frustrated. <laugh> frustrated seems to be like one of the most frequent emotions in my spectrum this late. Just the kids are boys are frustrating. Oh yeah. At a very frustrating age. They, I mean, tantrums are, I mean, you know, hourly, like you'd set, set your clock to tantrums Speaker 1 00:25:32 House. Oh my God. Every No, they hear. And my son is doing the new fake cry, the mm-hmm. <affirmative>, like just looking at me dead eye, Speaker 2 00:25:42 Like nothing. There's no tears coming out. Not even like, he's making a noise. Speaker 1 00:25:45 The effort not even to put in the face. Like I, he had his headphones in and I'm like, Hey, bath time. And he is like, Hey, <laugh> not even looking at me. And it was minimal, Speaker 2 00:25:57 Minimal effort tantrum. Speaker 1 00:25:59 I remember handling it like an adult. I ripped his iPad out of his hands and threw it across the room, into the ball pit. Grabbed him by his shirt, went straight to his face, nose to nose. And I said, I said, it's bath time <laugh>. And he was like, and I just like diffused put him over my shoulder and started patting him on the butt. And I was like, where are you going to take a bath? Where are you going? Take a bath, <laugh>. And I'm like, Speaker 2 00:26:23 Changed the pace Speaker 1 00:26:23 Immediately. Yeah. I'm like, who that almost bit <laugh>. What are those moments he's bringing up in therapy in 10, 10 years? Speaker 2 00:26:30 It's, I mean, me and Miles is like getting outta bed a bunch of times a night. And like, Speaker 1 00:26:34 It's like, oh, my kid dude, Speaker 2 00:26:37 Stay in bed. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> like you. It's you just like, I don't want to scream. Uh, I know, know, this is not temper tram. This is just him being irritating. Yeah. <laugh>. But the littlest dude, like, we're talking about, uh, working on getting him off of bottles. Like he's throwing crazy temper tantrums, Speaker 1 00:26:52 Just like high pitched. Speaker 2 00:26:53 Yeah. And I mean, may, I mean, you know, I may, it looks like we fucked up somewhere along the way. <laugh> like, just gave him what he wanted too much or whatever. I don't know. Maybe just part of what's in him, you know, when he has to get what he wants. He, because the, this is the thing he does, and it drives me fucking crazy every time. <laugh> he'll, he'll, it'll be like, you're, you're stabbing him and taking his organs out. Like just like, wow. And then you give him what he wants. Thank you. Dadda. <laugh>. Like, just like that. Just like you, like no, like no recovery. Just like, thank you. Dadda <laugh>, salty motherfucker. It's like, dude, <laugh> Speaker 1 00:27:28 Think you dadda. Speaker 2 00:27:29 It was like, it was like I was stabbing you in your heart a second ago, and then you got your cr your animal crackers. And now you're like, oh, oh fine. Thank you so much. Ooh. Ooh. This is what I wanted. Thank you. Excuse Speaker 1 00:27:40 Me. Speaker 2 00:27:41 <laugh>. Oh. So we're working on it. So like the other day, um, he wanted me to pick him up and I was cooking dinner and I was like, no man, I can't pick you up. Uh, and he like threw a fit for an hour, an hour straight that had to like, okay, Muriel, calm down. Use your words. That's another thing we say a bunch. Use your words, I don't understand you. Yep. You're just making noises. Use words. Yep. Because they all have, they both have words now. They get, they can articulate to a point where like, you tell me what they want. Tell me what they don't want. <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:28:08 Yeah. I, I always, it's so funny, you wait until you're able to clearly communicate with your kid and then you're like, man, I miss when you couldn't talk <laugh>. Like, shut the fuck up. You don't know me. You don't fucking know me. I'll ruin you. Speaker 2 00:28:23 So that's another thing. This is the fucking cute thing he's been doing. But I've been trying to get him to stop. Like, everyone's like, stop what you're doing. Like if you're, if you're hurting each other, whatever, just stop. So he's been starting to say, stop or no, mama, dad, <laugh>. Like, just like getting his both covered. <laugh>. No. Stop Mama Dad. It's like, get outta here, dude. Speaker 1 00:28:43 No, my oza started doing this thing. Uh, he goes, no, that's not right. Which is copying me going, Nope, that's not right. And he goes, no, that's not right. Anytime. I like slightest misstep. Slightest misstep. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. If he gets the, a yellow cup with a red top instead of the yellow top. And I stick a straw there. No, that's not right. <laugh>. And I just like, knock his cup over. I'm like, pick that up, <laugh>. Because you know, I'm an adult. Speaker 2 00:29:12 <laugh>, that's an adult thing to Speaker 1 00:29:13 Do. That's an adult thing to do. But yeah. I mean, these kids like bring you closer to cl like to the, to the edge. Like, so there's ways I handle tantrums at home and there's ways that I handle tantrums in public. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> and the ones in public are way more taxing. Like, Speaker 2 00:29:30 It's tough. I mean, cuz before having kids and seeing kids throw tantrum in public, you'd be like, Ugh, look at one of those parents. And now it's like, oh, I've been there. Yeah. <laugh>. Yeah. Now, now you're just like, you're, you're a veteran of the wars of the tantrum wars. And now you now would know like, hey, I, I've, I feel, and I've, we've done Na and I have done that to parents. Like, oh yeah. When their parents are freaking out, it's like, Hey, you're all right. You're doing okay. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:29:52 I do the same <laugh>, Speaker 2 00:29:53 There's like, Speaker 1 00:29:54 I don't even want to compare it, but there's like, you know, when people, like when a Marine meets another marine or like, you know, a guy who's a firefighter and then he has, he, he's like Speaker 2 00:30:03 Someone who's been in Speaker 1 00:30:04 This shit. Yeah. Somebody who's been in this shit. Like, when I'm at an airport and I see a mom like dealing with some shit with their kid mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And she's like, oh, I'm so sorry. I'm like, no, you're good. You're good. Throw that Speaker 2 00:30:15 Popcorn up. I'll be like, yo, you're all right. <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:30:17 It's like, I got a three year old, you're fine. I'm like pulling whatever I have outta my pockets and be like, Ooh, look at this. And they're like, Ooh, <laugh>. I'm like, yeah, don't worry, I'm not. I I get it. I get it. You need a break. I got it. I get it. I got it. Yeah. And like, I, it's always been that way, Speaker 2 00:30:30 But in public it's like, cuz Yeah. Mirror will do the thing where it's like, no, you can't get over there. That's like nothing but knives. You can't touch the knives and you'll just be like, ah, Speaker 2 00:30:41 Dude. Literally. It's like, it's never like, like we were talk, uh, we were reading an article before about like, things to like, giving your kids choices is like one of the things to help. So, you know, in the mornings when it comes to clothing, like I usually give 'em two shirts to pick from and they go pick which one they want. So like, we try to give them leeway and that kind of stuff. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. But it's like, usually I'm just doing, I'm not doing it to be a dick. I'm doing it cause I don't want you to die. Like, that's what I'm trying, like, I'm very rarely is I'm doing it to, to irritate you. Specifically <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:31:10 They Speaker 2 00:31:10 Don't get, that's the, the, that's the thing I think it frustrates the most is that they don't have logic. It's like, I know you're fucking child, but still child. Like, the oven's hot. Don't touch the oven, dude. Yeah. I'm cooking in here. Speaker 1 00:31:20 Yeah. I'm just like smacking my son out of the kitchen, like out of his shoes. Go, go. I kick him outta the Speaker 2 00:31:26 Fucking bar. Get outta here. Go go. Speaker 1 00:31:27 Like, he has no idea. I just saved his life. <laugh>. Like, there's hot oil right here. And he has no idea. All he knows is I got smacked in the face. I don't know what I was doing wrong, but like, uh, this ju just this morning a funny mini tantrum that was thrown was, you know, he woke up early. We ate some breakfast, breakfast together. Uh, we were watching some, uh, funny cartoons that he's never seen before. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. I keep on slipping some either like anime or like old school rocco's, modern life. Angry beavers. Yeah. Yeah. Stuff. He's like, what is this? It's so funny. It's so slapstick. And I was like, okay, this last one, we gotta go going to school. And he is like, huh, this like, fall melts into his body, face down on the ground. Shannon's like, keep bringing to the car Speaker 2 00:32:10 <laugh>. I was like, Speaker 1 00:32:11 And so like, I get him up, I'm like, OZO, you gotta go to school. Come on. Like, we do this every day, let's go. And he is just like, and he just puts his hand out and grabs my hand and this starts walking outside. And I'm like, okay, this is performative. Like, <laugh>, get this kid outta Speaker 2 00:32:26 Here. And that's like, with the routine stuff, like, we do the same thing in the morning. It's like, and if we don't, like if he watches two episodes of Blaze, oh we might be fucked. Speaker 1 00:32:34 You know? Yeah. It's over. Yeah. It's Speaker 2 00:32:35 Over. Yeah. The, the whole thing will come outta whack. Like, that's why I think routine is a good, you know, it is a good thing for kids. Like, it's a good thing for, I mean, fuck, I need a routine. <laugh>. Yeah. <laugh>. I still forget to take my medicine if I, if I don't think about it, Speaker 1 00:32:46 You know. Oh man. Sometimes I've worked from home and I like, uh, I told, I was telling Shannon, like, sometimes when she's not home, I kind of fall to pieces like mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And it's not even cuz like I rely on her, but I'm working from home. Shannon ain't here. My kid's at his mom's house and you know, Monday turns around and then it's Friday and I realize I have not changed my clothes or showered or left the house. Like I am vitamin D deficient. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. I have been Speaker 2 00:33:13 <laugh>. No free range. Uh, Ben, it's not good. I need, I need some tracks in my life. <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:33:20 Yeah. Cageless. Sobes. No, no. Bueno. <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:33:22 <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:33:23 No. Speaker 2 00:33:23 Bueno. Me back in my pin. Man. <laugh> kennel me up. But Speaker 1 00:33:27 Yeah, the first thing I saw when it was saying that, uh, one of the articles that we were reading saying that routines are a best way to alleviate, uh, to get rid of tantrums and like mm-hmm. I was just like, horse shit. <laugh>. That's fucking horse shit. It isn't. Speaker 2 00:33:38 I mean, I think, you know, a phlebotomy would alleviate him. <laugh>. I don't think it's gonna fucking happen <laugh>, but I think like it's definitely whatever, you know, for us in the morning, that's the biggest thing is that like this morning, uh, my younger brother Brock came by just as he was walking out the door or he was like in the neighborhood walking. And it was like one of those things like, oh, okay. Come on <laugh>. Come say hi <laugh>. See it's a good thing. Yeah. But it's like, I know it's gonna be another 20, 30 minutes cuz it's gonna be, we have to do the whole like, poking em with sticks out of the door again now, you know, <laugh>. Yeah. Just the routine is the routine. Speaker 1 00:34:13 Yeah. Like fucking dealing with Frankenstein, you have to like light a torch and Speaker 2 00:34:17 Get outta here a lot of times. Get Speaker 1 00:34:19 Outta here. Oh. Um, oh yeah. We got our nine ways down, uh, uh, to shut down kids. Yeah. I wanna see what you agree with here. Um, and, you know, understanding the cows, obviously, like Yeah. He doesn't wanna take a Speaker 2 00:34:32 Bath. I, I don't wanna pick you up. I'm cooking. I'm sorry. Great. Speaker 1 00:34:34 I Speaker 2 00:34:34 Have to feed. I thing is I'm making you food to eat <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:34:38 And uh, the number one, another one was shutting down hangar. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> shutting down Hangar is a good one. Oh. Speaker 2 00:34:44 Like my, my backpack. Whenever we leave, uh, to go anywhere it's like, uh, like Rambo. Alre. Not what is in Commando where you like fucking twist singer put all the knives on. That's what the backpack looks like with snacks. It's just like, and it's like Noah Zark. Cause you gotta do two of everything. He got two dudes. Speaker 1 00:35:00 Oh yeah. See I only have one. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And I'm like, in the backpack there's always the adventure time cooler stacked with the favorites. Yeah. Like the little lunchbox and everyone's like, oh, that's so funny. He has one. I'm like, yeah, it's mine. <laugh> Speaker 2 00:35:13 <laugh>. He's borrowing it too. Speaker 1 00:35:14 Yeah. Just, I just gave it to him. But that's like inside the, the go bag. And then the second part of the Go bag, which they usually have for like diapers and other, he already has a change of clothes. His paints, his markers. So that one is just like the reserve snacks, like Yeah. Speaker 2 00:35:28 Even more snacks. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:35:29 Like the, I'm driving, I need to throw something back at him. Snack. I'm like, ah, here's an Uncrustable shout up. Yeah. That's the, that's his shit right there. Um, another one is, uh, the bringing the backup toys. Do you have backup toys? Like road toys? Of course. Speaker 2 00:35:41 Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Cool. Yeah. Backup books. Backup books. Backup books are good with them cuz they uh, they get flip around and then they get trade. I Speaker 1 00:35:48 <laugh>, you know, flip books is something that I need to get into because I remember growing up, my mom used to get these flip books and like, oh yeah, yeah. You would like, you would read like a short story. And in the back 50 pages is like a flip comic of what happened. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. That's cool. And it was like great to have a visual of it. And then my mom would get these books. My mom worked at wic I remember. And like, there was just kid stuff all over and I was like, yeah, this is cool. And I was really in the comics and mm-hmm. <affirmative>, you know, like I'd never been like a big book guy. Like I remember I would read screenplay cuz it would paint a better picture. I like, I wasn't very imaginative. Yeah. So it's just like, I would read a script and I'd be like, wow, this is better than the book Speaker 2 00:36:28 <laugh>. And so many, it's less words. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:36:31 <laugh> so many less words. They're like setting up the scr of the scene for me. And I'm like, this is great. It's like I have to read a television show Speaker 2 00:36:39 In my head. <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:36:41 Um, but, uh, what about distracting from the issue? Is that something you're good at? Speaker 2 00:36:45 Yeah. I mean, yes. That's, uh, like redirecting is one of the things that we do. Like, that's the biggest thing we do is try to redirect. Like, okay, I can't, if you don't want, you've had 18 animal crackers, let's have an apple, let's have a banana, let's do this, or let's play with this. And that works seven outta 10 times <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:37:04 Oh yeah. I mean my, my biggest scam with, uh, tangent tantrums when he is like, I want ice cream, I want ice cream. I'll be like, all right, listen, you eat four carrots and these two broccolis mm-hmm. <affirmative>, I'll, I'll give you half an ice cream. But you eat these five broccolis, you're gonna get a whole, a whole piece. He's not gonna eat all of them. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And then once there's a one carrot and one broccoli left, he got, you know, he has his vegetables and I'm just be like, sorry <laugh>, you broke the deal to lose lose. You got, you broke the deal. And then you get those little drier cubes like, uh, ice cream cubes mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And I just pour like three or four in his hand. And it's, it's like a little dude at, at like one of the, like a war camp getting his rations. Yeah. You know, he's just sitting there with both hands shaking. <laugh> like two cubes Speaker 2 00:37:46 Of ice cream, chocolate covered cubes Speaker 1 00:37:47 And ice cream. Yeah. He's just like eating it in the corner like a refugee <laugh>. But I, it's, I understand the distraction and I use that in my everyday life. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, I like, like, okay, somebody's obviously pissed about this. I'm gonna throw it. Shannon calls me out about it. She's like, oh, nice distraction. I'm like, what do you mean? Speaker 2 00:38:04 What are you talking about? Isn't this show great? Yeah. <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:38:07 It's a beautiful day. We're having Speaker 2 00:38:09 <laugh>. I've definitely, like I've told Natalie before, I wonder what's happening on TikTok <laugh>? What do thinks going on there? Shut up. That's usually what she says. Speaker 1 00:38:20 Can't, can't pull one over on the old misses <laugh>. Um, this one I don't agree with. And they say ignore the tantrum. Cause like it's, my kid has thrown a tantrum upstairs where I've walked away from it and that tantrum has followed me downstairs into the kitchen, <laugh> and banged on the outside of the guest bathroom. Like, just, I'm like, oh my God. Oh my God. Speaker 2 00:38:44 <laugh>. It's like, ignore it. I feel the same way cuz I, because Nats always like, you gotta ignore me. It's like, but I need to tell them why I'm ignoring them. Speaker 1 00:38:56 I've Speaker 2 00:38:56 So stupid. But that's why I feel Speaker 1 00:38:59 <laugh>. I've tried to ignore my kid and I remember, what a funny time, cuz Shannon was like sitting right next to me, think she filmed it. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> because he is like throwing like a little fit. Like, daddy, daddy, dad, daddy, daddy look at me, daddy look at me. And he got quiet. I'm like, what? And he just, I just hear these little pitter pats like running up to me and he grabs my face. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And he's like, daddy, look at me. And I'm like, what? And he's like, are you, are you mad at me? <laugh>? I'm like, oh God. <laugh>. So yeah, I've been there. Definitely been there. Um, and we Speaker 2 00:39:32 Like one of the things that says like, uh, stay calm. Uh, I mean, that's really tough to do. Yeah. Stay calm. And one of the things that's like, shit, we have to, it's tough cuz we have to, we have to remember that like, they say the shit that we say to them. Yes. And they say it to their siblings, they say it to their friends. So it's like, that is the hardest part is like, not because, you know, like, you know, that's like mural will be like, no miles, or like stop miles. Like Yeah. <laugh>. Like, ah, that sounds awfully familiar. Speaker 1 00:40:00 <laugh>. But I, I, I would, uh, my kisser saying literally a lot mm-hmm. <affirmative> and I know where he got that from. I know where, and like, yeah. His, his mom is a literal queen. Speaker 2 00:40:10 <laugh> Miles calls everything a guy. Like, Hey, this guy, that guy, oh yeah. About Speaker 1 00:40:14 This guy. My kid does that too. I'm like, that's a girl. He's like, oh, that guy's a girl. <laugh> like, Speaker 2 00:40:17 Oh my God. Oh my. Oh. But we pick up this guy over here. Like just, that's what he says about everything. And that's what we say, like, mm-hmm. You want this guy or this guy, you wanna eat this? You know, Speaker 1 00:40:26 I, it's, I staying calm when somebody's throwing a tantrum. Like, I realize Speaker 2 00:40:32 Sometimes it's the easiest thing in the world. Sometimes it's like, hey, it's just like white noise. And other times it is literally, it might as well be in inside of my head screaming. Oh, <laugh>. It's so hard. Sometimes Speaker 1 00:40:43 I think the more pathetic the tantrum, the easier it is to deal Speaker 2 00:40:46 With. Yeah. You're not even try, you're not even trying to cry. Speaker 1 00:40:48 Yeah. Like, <laugh> not putting any effort into it. Like, ha have uh, have you dealt with like, destructive tantrums? Like flipping the sandbox? Oh Speaker 2 00:40:57 Yeah. Kicking the toys down, like miles go-to and he's getting, he's sometimes it, we're working on it, but like if he's corrected his next move is to fuck something up. <laugh>. It's like, that's not, it's not, I understand you're frustrated. I understand you're trying to get, that's to the things we're trying to like label our emotions and that's a big, a big modern idea. And it's a good idea. Like to put your emotions, like label it like, I'm frustrated, I'm angry, I'm whatever mm-hmm. <affirmative>, uh, as opposed to like, just to blurt out. Just, you know, like Speaker 1 00:41:26 No, I, I used to love when my kid melted, melted down cause I just found it hilarious. <laugh>. But now that he's putting, putting words into it and he is just like, I don't Speaker 3 00:41:36 Wanna take a bath. It's gonna take too long. I'll never see you again for a Speaker 1 00:41:39 Million years. I'm like, man, okay. Stop. Stop. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. That ain't true. <laugh>. That ain't true. You know, that's not true. A million years, it's gonna take too long. A million years. Like <laugh>, he's like, it's gonna take for so long. That's his big thing. It's gonna take for so long, it's gonna take for so long. I'm like, and like I would say like two weeks ago I stopped dealing with like, the silent meltdowns when I pick him up from school. Cuz he's so disappointed. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. It's not his mom picking him up. And it's me, <laugh>, and, you know, I'm a man enough to say it fucking got to me. <laugh>. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:42:12 Yeah. Speaker 1 00:42:13 Like, I'm like, what the fuck? Am I not good enough? Like, <laugh> yourself a bitch. I Speaker 2 00:42:17 Feed you. Like Speaker 1 00:42:18 I, how's you, you gonna, you gonna come at me like this? But, um, one of the things that I, that they, the distraction that started this is that I always had a bit planned. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, I would get his stuffed toys, I'd be sitting in the car and I'd stuff 'em in my shirt, like coming outta my pants, outta my pocket, coming outta my sleeve and I'd act like nothing's wrong. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And so I'd ring the door and he comes out all sad. And he is like, what's that? I'm like, what's, what, what's going on? And he is like, dad in your hand. I'm like, this hand, he's like, no. The other hand I'm like, I only have one hand. <laugh> like, Speaker 2 00:42:50 What are you talking about? Speaker 1 00:42:50 I only have one other hand. This is the other hand. He's like, no, this hand, you mean this hand. Like, it would just be this whole thing. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. There's times I've come out and I've hid behind the planter and I've scared him. Yeah. And I've come out, uh, you know, there's sometimes I, I put on a disguise, like the fake mustache. I'm like, hello Ozo. I am Bluebe, UBIs brother, <laugh>, you know, like stupid dad stuff. But he, the first day I did not do that, he would just came out and he is like, Hey, you're not gonna do a thing. And I'm like, Speaker 2 00:43:20 <laugh>, Speaker 1 00:43:21 No, I'm not gonna do a thing. Uh, but now like he's, every time I come by he's just like super excited. And that disappointment kind of like, oh, it's just my dad. That's fine guys. It's just my dad. That's be some weirdo. I'm gonna pick me up <laugh>. So that works. That works. Um, those are the mini tantrums. The meltdown tantrums are the harder to deal with when they start fucking shit up, as you say. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:43:43 Like we, uh, one of the list is, uh, find a change of scenery. One of the things I've been, the article we read was like, you know, timeouts or a good thing. We don't use 'em too much. So one of the things I've been doing with Miles, like, let's go take a break. Like, we're not gonna take a time out. We're you and me are gonna go take a break. We're gonna into another room. We're gonna hang out for three minutes. Uh, and then like, literally the last time we did, he's like, I'm not sad anymore. <laugh> like, yeah. Yeah. That's the, that's the fucking point. Yeah. <laugh> <laugh> Speaker 1 00:44:07 Scammed. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:44:08 <laugh> for you to get away until you feel differently. <laugh>. So we've been taking, it's not time out. We're just take, Hey, we're gonna take a break. It looks like you're having a trouble using your hands and not using words. We're gonna take a little break. Let's, we're not gonna, we're not gonna be my phone. We're just gonna talk. We'll hang out. You know, talk about what we see in the room. <laugh>. <laugh>. And that's the, he is like, timeout is like a triggering thing for, it's like, I don't want a timeout. Like, oh time. It's like, okay, let's take a break. What? Timeout? We'll just take a break. That's what timeout is. Taking a Speaker 1 00:44:33 Break. Yeah. I, I use timeouts and I started calling them different things. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So, um, you know, he will, he has piano practice. My kid has piano practice and he was out of control. He was banging on the piano, running out of the room. Like, I'm like, mm-hmm. You can't do this. And so after the teacher left, I, I brought him over and I'm like, Hey, uh, you were being very rude. And he is like, what? He was like so shocked that I, he's like, asked you to sit down. You didn't, uh, you got your water and you spilled it on purpose as a joke. You didn't clean it up. You weren't practicing, you were being very rude. And, you know, normally I would give you a timeout, but I want you to go to your room and count to a hundred. I go to your room and count to a hundred. He's like, but I, but I do. I'm like, OZO now, now, now. And he's like, ah. He ran upstairs, counted to a hundred. He came back down with this giant smile on his face. He's just like, I counted to a hundred. I'm like, ah, good job. Are we gonna, are we gonna pay attention next time? He's like, yes, yes, yes. He's like, what do you wanna do? He's like, I'm like, I want you to get away from me right Speaker 2 00:45:37 Now. You're a little much <laugh> <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:45:40 Like, where's your iPad? Like <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:45:44 I wish I could just stick him in a chair. Uh, but yeah. Um, when I think, uh, one of the biggest things that helped me is like engaging with him to try and talk out a tantrum. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Because watching a kid try to explain what's going on, there's a little part of them that realizes that that's no reason to be upset. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> and, you know, it works with adults. Adult tantrums are a whole different thing that we can get into just as, uh, a little bit after this. But I know you've dealt with adult tantrums like <laugh>. I, I, I, especially in your business, people, people who've thrown little fits overnight having the snacks that they're supposed to have or mm-hmm. <affirmative>, um, you know, uh, running outta coffee, I know you've dealt with those types of stuff, but I know, like talking it out is a huge, huge, huge help. But, yeah. Tantrums look that, um, I How would you diffuse adult temper tantrums? Speaker 2 00:46:38 Hmm. Well, it's d it's like, you ever seen a waffle house? Uh, video, <laugh> <laugh>? Speaker 1 00:46:44 Are you just throwing a chair across the Speaker 2 00:46:46 Restaurant? No, I, um, it's, it's, I'm trying to think of like a time when, like, because people are, some, like, in, in my job, like craft service, I do snacks for TV and film crews. Uh, most of the celebrity people are like, are totally fine. It's usually like the crew people that like, don't have the particular snack that they want, or, oh, tell me where I could buy the particular snack that they want. <laugh>. It's like, sometimes that isn't how it works, bud. Yeah. <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:47:12 Well, no. If you go down to Fifth of Maine, trust me, this is a little shop and they have like these spicy noodles. You should get 'em. Yeah. Should I? Speaker 2 00:47:19 So it's, Speaker 1 00:47:20 But you haven't had anybody explode at you? Speaker 2 00:47:23 No. It, it's the giant man thing is people very rarely explode at me. Uh, just cause I, they kind of got that thing about me where just people don't usually Yeah. If they're not saying people, you know, insane people have a couple of times, Speaker 1 00:47:35 I, I've dealt with a few <laugh> <laugh>. It's funny that you have to be like an absolute lunatic to approach you <laugh>. Yeah. Like, oh, this guy. Insane. Oh Speaker 2 00:47:45 Wow. Okay. I'm gonna step away. Speaker 1 00:47:47 Wasn't there, wasn't there an instance where you guys were like, on a train and some like, Speaker 2 00:47:51 That was at the Metro? Some I was holding Miro and some dude got up in my face. Uh, he's like, because he, cause he thought I was in his space. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:47:58 Like, like, this guy's obviously nuts. Let's get outta here. <laugh>. <laugh>. Uh, but yeah, I, I've dealt with my fair share of Karen's and mm-hmm. <affirmative>, like Becky's, I've dealt with them. But, you know, in the social media age, I felt like it kind of calmed down. I think as I got out of those situations, like being able to have groceries delivered to my house, <laugh>, <laugh>, and, you know, like not going to the bank and mm-hmm. <affirmative>, I remember a lot young, like, I remember I was living in, uh, CSUN in Northridge, and my sister had a puppy. She got a puppy, and I, I took the P outside so we can kind of like be on grass and relax and like, this thing is like two, three weeks old. It can barely run straight. Like I remember Francis, uh, I don't think you met Francis, the big pit that we used to have. Speaker 1 00:48:51 Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Yeah. It's like Fran Francis. He was small. I remember this woman who, I don't know if she like, re like, we, she didn't remember the conversation. We had the door because she knew the dog. She's like, oh yeah, it's a pit bull. She's like, oh, he is so cute, blah, blah, blah. And then the next day I have him on the grass and he is just like crawling. She's like, you know, you're not allowed to have pit bulls off the leash. And I'm like, first of all, Susan <laugh> <laugh>. Um, yeah, I, I understand that. But you know, he's, he's not going anywhere. Like, look at him. He like, he's literally like dragging himself. He's just like a lump on a log. It's such a small pup. It was a run to the litter. Took him a lot longer to develop than normal puppies. But this woman wouldn't shut the fuck up. She was like, trying to give me statistics about dog, uh, dog attacks and like, how dangerous pit bulls are. And she's like, well, it's for your dog safety too. Like, imagine if somebody kicked that dog in the face because they felt threatened. I'm like, all right, I'm going inside. There's a lot Speaker 2 00:49:49 Of babies being Speaker 1 00:49:50 Thrown around. Yeah. <laugh>. I'm going inside. And I was just like this, like, it, it threw, it took me up off guard. Like, like this woman was entitled to educate me about my dog for a fic a fictitious situation that is never going to happen. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, there's never gonna be anyone who sees a two to three week old puppy that could barely keep its eyes open in the sun that needs a box to like, what that's gonna be like, ah, <laugh> and stomp it to Death <laugh>. But yeah. People are fucking nuts. People are insane. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:50:26 And I think it's adult temper tantrums are from when people don't get what they want. Oh. And they were been given what they want all the time. Like, we see a video every single day about adult temper tantrum of someone like not getting what they want and then becoming a Speaker 1 00:50:39 Child. Oh my God. I really, really want to show you this Karen video because like the tan tantrums that turned into entitlement is a whole different thing. Uh, Blaine, can you please look up the video of this, uh, white woman spits in black woman's face at a hotel? Ooh. And Speaker 2 00:50:56 I, I, I saw that one in my favorite comment was like, everyone in this video is horrible. Yeah. <laugh> Speaker 1 00:51:02 <laugh> white women spits on black woman gets her at Yeah. That's the one. Speaker 2 00:51:05 That's the one. Speaker 1 00:51:06 That's the one. That is the one. So you guys, I'm gonna set the video up for you. I believe this is at a days in and this white woman fucked around and found out. Just we don't, I, we don't even know what it's about, but yeah. Blaine, go ahead and turn this up and like, just, I want you to know guys to watch this. Speaker 2 00:51:28 Woo. Ooh. Yeah. She says, get her outta here. Speaker 1 00:51:31 Yo. And Speaker 2 00:51:31 Then spits on her, it looks like, and then she starts getting mother Speaker 1 00:51:36 Fucked. Yeah. And then she's just screaming. I'm sorry. Speaker 2 00:51:38 I'm sorry. Spit. Speaker 1 00:51:46 Yo, the part that really gets is just how the video just turned into like, you know, one of those poli those police camera videos mm-hmm. <affirmative>, like, the body cams just shake. Like, oh, you know, shit. Shit's Speaker 2 00:51:58 The fan that was a steady hand while delivering an ass whoop Speaker 1 00:52:01 Old God woman. Oh my God. So like, what, how, however mad you are, like the entitlement that you're gonna spit in someone's face and nothing is going to happen to you. Mm-hmm. Speaker 2 00:52:12 <affirmative>, it's assault like that it's legally assault Speaker 1 00:52:14 To, it's, it's, there's a dude, there's a dude I believe in, uh, was this in, uh, Alabama or Florida? There's a black dude who's serving 70, who got sentenced to 73 years for spitting on a black, uh, on a cop A Speaker 2 00:52:25 Cop, I'm sure. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:52:26 Yeah. And like, bro, I, I just, I, I, people losing their shit to me is always funny, especially when they're consequences. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, I don't like, I don't like seeing people get hurt, but I do like people get, uh, you know, getting instant karma when they think the world revolves around them. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, if you're upset about something, like she was already walking outside, just walk outside and take a deep breath. Yeah. Like, understand that it ain't that Speaker 2 00:52:54 Serious. It cost nothing to, uh, keep your shit to yourself. Speaker 1 00:52:57 Oh my God. That one cost her internet fame and a few, a few lumps. Yeah. A few lumps on the head Speaker 2 00:53:04 And it's like, no, of course you shouldn't like, Speaker 1 00:53:06 Beat up old women and then put it Speaker 2 00:53:08 Online. Yeah. <laugh>. Because the thing is like, it's, it's the same thing. It's the same as the popcorn thing. It's like, look at, look at the good thing I did. It's like you just, you still beat someone up. Yeah. <laugh>, like, you're not that much better. Yeah. Like, granted, you did it cinematic, you know, cinematically you held your camera straight, which I appreciate, which Speaker 1 00:53:25 Was great, but still, no. And when the black girl left the hotel to have that moment where she's like, she got me fucked up. Like, yeah. To understand like, the level of anger. Like, I'm about to do something crazy. Like I know it's late. I know she shouldn't have start, uh, she should have hit this woman, but the fact that she had the presence of mine to like, walk and be like, I am not gonna let this go any further. Like, I need to get the hell outta here. Cuz she could have stomped that woman until she was unconscious. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> like, you know, you've seen people that just like don't know when to stop like this. Obviously realizing you're standing over an elderly woman in a fetal position screaming. I'm sorry. I'm Speaker 2 00:54:00 Sorry. Yeah. So next time you get spit on, you should say, Hey, let's go to another location. Yeah. Speaker 4 00:54:05 <laugh> <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:54:06 I think you are telling me with your actions. I think you need a time out. Are Speaker 1 00:54:11 You hungry? <laugh>? Speaker 4 00:54:12 Yeah. <laugh> Speaker 2 00:54:16 Bitch has been hungry for 60 years. Speaker 1 00:54:17 Yeah. Speaker 4 00:54:18 <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:54:21 Oh. But hey, listen, we gotta take a break. Uh, temper tantrums are the worst people who deal with them. Uh, <laugh> like fucking children are the worst. But, uh, we're gonna take a quick break. This is papa on Peach. We'll be right back. You gonna hold your breath again? And we are back. Speaker 4 00:54:53 <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:54:54 I remember the bit this day. Speaker 4 00:54:56 <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:54:59 I forgot it. You scared the shit outta me. Speaker 4 00:55:01 <laugh> Speaker 1 00:55:04 Like my, my, my hand hit the, the switchboard. We'll, about to hear some fart sounds that I don't ever play. <laugh> <laugh>. Oh, man. So guys, welcome back to papa on Preach. This is our last segment. We're doing the Papa's taste test. Ba bam. Ooh. I have a sound for that Papa's taste test. All right. Speaker 2 00:55:24 Quite the fanfare for something so atrocious. Speaker 1 00:55:26 Uh, yes. You know, you, you guys have been here before. We've tried Mountain Dew. Uh, we all the, all the mountain Dews <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:55:34 We've been bean Speaker 1 00:55:35 Boozed. We've been bean boozed, which we gotta bring back. By the way, Speaker 4 00:55:38 <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:55:39 Uh, right now, something that has taken over the internet by storm is the cup of noodles, breakfast maple pancakes, sausage and egg flavored ramen. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. That's correct. Ladies and gentlemen, cuppa noodles did it again. Found a new way to gross us all out. Um, you at home cannot smell what I am smelling. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, but it's like a, uh, mapley goop, Speaker 2 00:56:00 It's, Speaker 1 00:56:00 Uh, coming over and it Speaker 2 00:56:03 Smells Okay. So we've both been on traveling shows and traveling shows. You show up in a new town, they have, uh, catering set up, and it's all the same Kettering across this great country of ours. And it smells like this. This is what it is. It smells like factory eggs in maple syrup that was made in a Speaker 1 00:56:18 Laboratory. It, it, it smells like the continental breakfast at a Holiday Inn. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. That's what it smells like. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. A hundred percent. You nailed it, Bennett. Um, so, uh, when's the last time you had a couple noodles, by the way? Speaker 2 00:56:30 I don't remember. I, it's something I stock in at my line of work and people love. I don't like them. I think they're gross and kind of icky. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:56:39 I, you know, like, I've eaten a couple noodles when I was a kid, you know, that was just one of the things that I knew how to make when my mom was late. Uhhuh <affirmative>, you know, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna pop in some cup noodles. But, you know, I reached a certain age when I was like, you know, just like hot dogs. I'm like, this is gross Speaker 2 00:56:53 <laugh>. Well, I mean, hey, that's not dude, it's fast about hot dogs. Hot dogs. Whoa, Illa. Listen, Speaker 1 00:56:57 Listen. I'll, I'll, I'll have a Dodger dog or some street, some street meat from time to time, but it's not like something I'm keeping in my refrigerator Speaker 2 00:57:05 Today. Oh no. There's, there's been parts of my adult life where I'm like, I shouldn't have a hot dog every day of the week. Speaker 1 00:57:11 <laugh> <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:57:13 So different takes. All Speaker 1 00:57:14 Right. You learn, you learn a little about the people you have in your life on podcasts. You learn a little bit about it. But, uh, yeah, we're gonna give this a taste. See what the big rant and rave is about. Um, one thing I did find out about this is that I've been cooking cup of noodles wrong my entire life mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So, uh, this doesn't look like something that goes in a microwave. So I might be the only one, but you guys could hit us up in the comments. Shut us a Speaker 2 00:57:36 Note. Yeah. The, the direction. Say to put room temp water in microwave. But we did not do that. No, I, yeah, we put boiling hot water in it, which is, I thought, oh, speaking Speaker 1 00:57:44 Of you're speaking it maple water on it. You have maple water on your hands. Ugh. But yeah, that's, that's how I used to do it. It's just boiling hot. You could leave it covered for like three or four minutes mm-hmm. <affirmative>, and then you eat it. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, like, I didn't know you'd throw it in a microwave. I'm not sure if it's always been like that. Speaker 2 00:57:57 It, I mean, I never read the instructions. So Yeah. Speaker 1 00:58:01 The instructions <laugh>. Um, but you, you ready to do this? Speaker 2 00:58:05 Yeah. Okay. So it's, uh, breakfast cup of noodles, maple syrup, pancakes. It's artificially flavored as maple syrup, pancakes, sausage and egg ramen noodles and so, and ramen noodles and sauce. All right. Let's take a peek in here and see Speaker 1 00:58:18 Damn what it looks like. Damn. It says that it has 1020 milligrams of sodium. Hmm. Why do they say it in milligrams? <laugh>, Speaker 2 00:58:25 Like, looking at it, this is unsettling. Oh. All right. So you know how there's, like, in your typical ramen, sometimes there's little bits of freeze-dried corn. Yeah. So take that out and put fri uh, scrambled egg and sausage instead. Speaker 1 00:58:39 Oh yeah. That's a not the best. Great. Speaker 2 00:58:45 Well, here Speaker 1 00:58:46 We go. Okay. Speaker 2 00:58:47 All right. Let me get a little straw and a little thing here. Speaker 1 00:58:50 All right guys. I am about to dive in to the maple cup of noodles. This is, this is like all you ready? Such a crime against ramen. Speaker 2 00:59:01 It smells, it atrocious. It smells like ramen is having breakfast with you. And I don't want, it's like, I don't like it at all. All right, you ready? Speaker 1 00:59:07 It's disgusting. I'm ready, ready to do this. That's disgusting. It tastes like ramen. They even changed their, they didn't even change the seasoning. How does it smell like maple and doesn't tastes like maple. It tastes like salty as from, Speaker 2 00:59:26 It tastes like, like slightly sweet ramen. I, um, Speaker 1 00:59:29 I'm doing another Speaker 2 00:59:30 Bite. I'm ashamed to say I don't hate this. Speaker 1 00:59:32 Ah, you make me sick. Speaker 2 00:59:33 I'm such a garbage man. <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:59:37 I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try and get some bits of egg and, uh, sausage in my next bite. You know what's crazy is when I opened this thing, there was nothing but sausage and egg bits all at the top. I can't find one now. Speaker 2 00:59:50 Can't find it. And they disappeared, but they dissolve <laugh>. I was thinking the same exact thing. All right. I got sausage in this guy. Speaker 1 01:00:01 Yeah. I mean, if I was really stoned, I'd eat that if I was high as hell and I'm like, I'm gonna make some breakfast ramen. I'll eat that. But I just, it tastes like salty ass breakfast soup. Speaker 2 01:00:13 I'm disgusted with myself. Speaker 1 01:00:14 I'm disappointed in you. Ah, Speaker 2 01:00:16 Yeah. <laugh>. I don't hate it. Like, I thought it'd be gross. Uh, I, I kind of like all the flavor profiles together. <laugh>, I'm like sweetened ramen. I, I, but I'm someone who like, eat, go to McDonald's and, and get the sausage biscuit and put jelly in the sausage biscuit. Speaker 1 01:00:30 Yeah. Everybody does that. You're not weird. That's the w that's the right way to Speaker 2 01:00:33 Do it, man. Okay. Good. All right. Good. So I, I it is the same flavor profile with this. Speaker 1 01:00:38 Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 01:01:40 So my review 10 outta 10 <laugh> good. It's not that good, but honestly, like, I thought it was gonna be disgusting and it is gross, but it is my kind of gross. So like, like a four, Speaker 1 01:01:54 Um, <laugh> Speaker 2 01:01:57 As I have freeze-dried sausage stuck in my teeth. Speaker 1 01:02:02 Yeah. That's not good.

Speaker 1 01:02:07 You know what, going back in as, as Bennett, uh, goes back in for his fifth or sixth bite, I'm gonna go ahead and give this one. You gave it a four outta 10. Speaker 2 01:02:18 I'm gonna say five. Speaker 1 01:02:19 You're gonna say five. All right. I'm gonna give it a four outta 10. I'm gonna give it a four. Um, actually I'm gonna give it a 3.9. Speaker 2 01:02:25 I'm Speaker 1 01:02:25 Gonna give it a 3.9 because it tastes like noodles and smells like breakfast. I hate it. Speaker 2 01:02:32 <laugh>. And for, I like that. For some reason I don't like that in me that I like it. <laugh>. I've had, I've had, you know, conference, uh, room eggs that are not as good as this. Oh, Speaker 1 01:02:44 Sh well Speaker 2 01:02:45 That's because I think of the ramen flavor. It beats out the disgusting egg and sausage. And I know it's been sitting on a shelf for months. Speaker 1 01:02:52 Well, it's a limited edition, so it's fairly new. <laugh>. Speaker 2 01:02:57 I too, I exo just made me feel a little better. Speaker 1 01:02:59 Okay, good. Yeah. Speaker 2 01:03:00 Little edition in 2020. Ugh. Speaker 1 01:03:03 Yeah. Uh, this is something I could have done without. I am glad I know how to cook a couple noodles now. I had no idea when it's supposed to go in the microwave. It's, my opinion is grosser than it needs to be. Speaker 2 01:03:11 This is a good consistency. I think the classic, the width that we were doing is fun. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:03:16 Okay. Yeah. I, I like, oh God. I'm just watching Bennett Chow down on this Speaker 2 01:03:20 Noodles <laugh> you Speaker 1 01:03:22 Up.

Um, you know, you know what's funny? You mentioned McDonald's, which is, uh, a funny thing. I should not say this on the pod because I feel like we're outing like the end of a rainbow. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Oh, we have a secret magical multiverse McDonald's next to our house. I think I've told you guys about this, but I've never brought it up on the pod. So if me, if me and the lady go out and we have a few drinks, we always swear we're not gonna eat fast food anymore. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And then you come home at one 30 in the morning and you're like, I wanna get a Big Mac <laugh>. You know? Yeah. So we know after a few nights, uh, of doing this, if we DoorDash from our McDonald's down the street mm-hmm. <affirmative> Shannon will say, I'm gonna have a cheeseburger. And I'll say, I'll get large fries. What will show up are three McChickens, two double cheeseburgers, a Quarter Pounder. I'm like, flurry, two drinks and a separate bag of like four large fries every single time. Every single time. This is not like a one-off. Yeah. We have never gotten just what we've ordered. <laugh> Speaker 2 01:04:37 Be like, Speaker 1 01:04:38 They, like, sometimes they'll throw in like a 20 piece nugget. Like they'll just throw in a bun and it's not like, oh, you get like an extra burger. It's like a full on meal. First time we thought mm-hmm. <affirmative>, they got the order wrong. Second time we're like, they keep getting the order wrong. Third time we're like, maybe this is a thing. Fourth time we're like, oh, this is a magic McDonald's <laugh>. So now we know that we are just gonna order like two or three things and an entire meal will show up. And what sucks is that most of it goes in the trash. It's literally like, this is the perfect McDonald's experience. Cause I get one bite of a Big Mac, one bite of a Whopper, two nuggets fries, a couple slopes of a mc Flury, and I fall asleep with a giant Sprite next to my bed. Speaker 2 01:05:17 I just, I think you have the laziest door dress driver in the world. He just grabs like, I don't know, I'll just take 'em all. Speaker 1 01:05:23 Yeah.
