Miller Time!

[00:00:32] Speaker A: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome back to Papa Don't Preach. My name is Obi, and I got a special surprise. He's back. [00:00:39] Speaker B: I'm back. I'm back. You tried to keep me away, but I hopped over the fence and jimmied the lock. And here we are. [00:00:48] Speaker A: Man, I'd love to see you hop off a fence. [00:00:50] Speaker B: I mean, I used to. [00:00:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:00:53] Speaker B: Not anymore. [00:00:55] Speaker A: Okay. [00:00:56] Speaker B: I used to be an athlete. [00:00:58] Speaker A: Ish. Okay. [00:01:00] Speaker B: Has it been in the last two decades? No. [00:01:04] Speaker A: Love to see you swing them giant calves over a fence. [00:01:07] Speaker B: That's what they're good for, leaping. [00:01:09] Speaker A: Oh, shit. Look at me putting my place. There I am. There's my place. All right. Well, ladies and gentlemen, as you know, Bennett Miller is back. This is amazing, man. How have you been? [00:01:24] Speaker B: Busy. [00:01:24] Speaker A: Busy. [00:01:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:25] Speaker A: That's amazing. [00:01:27] Speaker B: It is something. No, I mean, there's been a lot that's been going on. I was in Texas for a bit, visited family. I started a new gig that I do every year. [00:01:38] Speaker A: That's nice. [00:01:39] Speaker B: Turned 40. [00:01:40] Speaker A: What the fuck? Did I miss? Your birthday. [00:01:42] Speaker B: Yeah, it's on the 21st. [00:01:43] Speaker A: It's fine. Of October. Yeah. And I missed your 40th birthday. [00:01:46] Speaker B: I was in Texas. It was. [00:01:48] Speaker A: Well, I guess. Yeah, in Texas. [00:01:50] Speaker B: Also in Texas. I also had, like. Me and the two boys all had stomach flu. [00:01:55] Speaker A: Happy birthday. [00:01:56] Speaker B: Yeah, it was an explosive week. It was fucking awful. [00:02:00] Speaker A: Yuck. Yuck. [00:02:02] Speaker B: To quote what Miles, my oldest, said, he said, my butt feels spicy. And he was exactly right. [00:02:09] Speaker A: Oh, man. [00:02:09] Speaker B: He had turned 40. We had Halloween. We went trickortreating. The kids did really great. [00:02:14] Speaker A: Oh, where'd you go trickortreating at? [00:02:15] Speaker B: In our neighborhood. Our neighborhood is a nice little trick called you. You should have. We'll do it next year. But, yeah, our neighborhood turned into, like, a nice little trick or treat neighborhood. [00:02:22] Speaker A: Man, we had an older. These two older Hispanic ladies that didn't notice Shannon swinging in the dark on our porch by herself, like, no, that's fake. No, that's real. No, that's fake. And she's like, hi. We gave him some Kit Kats. That was it. That was the extent of the people that came through. We went to one of the fancy neighborhoods that had all the decorations and shit. My kid, he was Pennywise on Friday. Funny. No, sorry. He was a cat, then he was Pennywise, then he was a pumpkin, and then he was a ghost. [00:03:04] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:03:05] Speaker A: All his decision. [00:03:06] Speaker B: I like it. I like mixing it up. [00:03:08] Speaker A: Yeah, I made his ghost outfit from scratch, which doesn't seem like a feat, but God damn, I wanted to look good? Yeah. [00:03:18] Speaker B: I mean, there's a fine line between Ghost and Grand Wizard. Yeah, I was like, that line. [00:03:23] Speaker A: Carefully. That's why I was like, all right, let's put the beanie on top of him and give him some gloves. [00:03:28] Speaker B: No point whatsoever. Round as possible. [00:03:33] Speaker A: That's like, the only thing I'm trying to do is not have my little son look like a clan member. I want to be a ghost. No. Well, guys, today on the pod, we were talking about keeping interest in your children, focusing on pushing them towards the right path and encouraging that. But first in the news, I don't know how funny this is, because it's not funny. It's very serious. But every time it's on the ballot, we just miss voting Day. Abortion rights prevail. Yeah. [00:04:13] Speaker B: It's almost like people wanted them around a few ragamuffins. Ragamuffins who take bribes and see no repercussions and, oh, they're going to be there until they fucking die. Decided against it. [00:04:29] Speaker A: I think you mispronounced cunts. [00:04:33] Speaker B: Supreme cunts. [00:04:34] Speaker A: Supreme cunts. [00:04:36] Speaker B: Yeah. It's like, yeah, fucking no shit, everybody. Yes. [00:04:40] Speaker A: I don't even know why they know it's a losing issue. All right, you got what you wanted. It's not the Supreme Court, 1987. [00:04:48] Speaker B: A lot of shit has changed since then. [00:04:50] Speaker A: Don't leave it up to the people. [00:04:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Fucking old Rick Santorum said earlier today, it's like, there's a problem with the direct democracy. [00:05:00] Speaker A: Rick Santorum. I love that. I haven't heard that name in a while. [00:05:05] Speaker B: After his name became synonymous with. [00:05:11] Speaker A: Google it if you don't. Yeah. Moving on. So, yeah, Rashida Tlaib was censured. Know, she's Brown, and she spoke up against Israel. That's America for you. Yeah. [00:05:25] Speaker B: I thought I was going to get canceled. [00:05:28] Speaker A: I thought that was like, all right. You guys are showing your ass here. Just leave her alone. Freedom of speech. Until you say something wrong. [00:05:35] Speaker B: But, I mean, there's literally, like. There's a lady that said the forest fires were created by Jewish space lasers. [00:05:40] Speaker A: Dude, Joe Santos is walking around the Congress with a fake baby, and they're not. Whatever. Pick a lane and follow it. [00:05:53] Speaker B: They're the worst. The entire body. [00:05:56] Speaker A: The entire body. [00:05:57] Speaker B: I think they should be reelections every three months. Oh, yeah, because too much work for me. Yeah, they need to keep it, like, fucking going. These people on their shitty ideas need to get out. [00:06:09] Speaker A: Speaking of shitty ideas, we had our third presidential debate. The Republican presidential debate. Third one. [00:06:16] Speaker B: Sorry I missed that. [00:06:17] Speaker A: I don't know how they keep convincing these motherfuckers to sit on stage knowing they have no chance at being president. [00:06:23] Speaker B: No, they're fighting a losing wild, you know, against a guy who's not there, who's currently know, getting his ass handed to him in court in New York on a daily basis. [00:06:36] Speaker A: This New York trial that's going on right now is very funny to me because it's not even. He's like, I'm innocent. This exonerator. I'm like, bro, you're guilty. This is just damages. [00:06:45] Speaker B: Yeah, he already admitted it on the stand that he inflated the evaluation of the value of his properties. [00:06:52] Speaker A: It's wild. [00:06:53] Speaker B: The best part was, whenever he was talking, someone was asking him a question. He's like, well, I was busy protecting from China and stuff like that. It's like, well, sir, this was in 2021 when you weren't president. You know, like those, those before and afters of the presidents. It's like they get in the office and they're all young and bright eyed, and they get out of the office and they look like a walking corpse. Yes, I suck a series of those. And they did Trumps. And literally, he just changed shades of orange. Yeah, he looks the exact same. [00:07:22] Speaker A: I don't. Under four years. [00:07:24] Speaker B: Because he golfed all the time. [00:07:27] Speaker A: Because he wasn't president. [00:07:28] Speaker B: Yeah, the most activity there was fucking throwing paper towels at Puerto Ricans. That was his big, most active fucking thing in the whole entire White HousE. [00:07:39] Speaker A: Lower third. Hit it. Short corner from the three. Good job, Raul. Anyway, moving on, I actually have something in honor of you being back. And in honor of the news, I have a game for you. [00:07:51] Speaker B: Oh, I love a game. [00:07:52] Speaker A: Yeah. So we're going to go over some news titles right now in our new game that we are calling Florida or foreign. [00:08:02] Speaker B: Love that sting. You missed the. What's the deal? Here we go. [00:08:09] Speaker A: So the name of the game is called Florida or foreign. So I'm going to give you two headlines. You have to guess if it's which one is Florida and which one is foreign. [00:08:16] Speaker B: From another country. [00:08:17] Speaker A: From another country. From overseas. From abroad. Bennett, are you ready? [00:08:21] Speaker B: Your head is distracting, but yes. All right, listen, looking like black hair. [00:08:26] Speaker A: I'm going to tell you right now, we've had. What was his name? [00:08:32] Speaker B: Gerald was his best Gerald. [00:08:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:34] Speaker B: You don't look like Gerald right now. [00:08:36] Speaker A: Oh, I look like just Black Hay Arnold. [00:08:37] Speaker B: Because you're getting football head going on. [00:08:43] Speaker A: Oh, my God, man. I want to hit you. I want to run out of here, but God damn, that was good. The Black Hay, Arnold. Not Gerald, just a black. Hey, Arnold, moving football head. Don't fucking take a knee. Anyway, so foreigner, Florida. Here we go. Your first one. A bear is caught on a ring camera stealing Taco Bell. A calf escapes an agricultural show and leads police on a 1 hour chase. [00:09:22] Speaker B: Do I got to pick Florida or foreign? For both of those. [00:09:25] Speaker A: So you have to pick which one is Florida and which one is foreign. [00:09:29] Speaker B: Okay, I think. [00:09:34] Speaker A: A bear. Bear is steel Taco Bell. [00:09:37] Speaker B: Because Taco Bell, you get that anywhere in the world now. [00:09:39] Speaker A: Yes, that's anywhere in the world. [00:09:41] Speaker B: So I say bear. And also we know that bears in Florida are going to. They're hitting up Zaxby's or something like that. Trying to think about Southern chain. So, yeah, I think the cow that ran away and I'm sure the police pursued and then shot them. [00:09:59] Speaker A: Okay. [00:09:59] Speaker B: Is in Florida. [00:10:00] Speaker A: All right, so first one that is incorrect. A cow leaving agriculture show in Alberta, Canada led a police on a 1 hour chase in I believe is Oakwood, Florida. Oakwood, Florida, which has fucking black bears, which we didn't know is caught in a ring camera stealing taco Bell and running away. [00:10:21] Speaker B: Like someone's like, Uber eats. [00:10:23] Speaker A: Somewhere's Uber eats was left at a door. Bear pulls up and it's like, you know what? I need some ass fire. Took that shit, ran away. [00:10:29] Speaker B: What's this Mexican pizza all about? [00:10:33] Speaker A: A fucking black bear after a crunchwrap supreme. A bear shits in the woods. Anyway, moving on to our next one. [00:10:43] Speaker B: All right. [00:10:45] Speaker A: Authorities have warned the public not to feed these drooling invasive species of Macaus due to the rare form of herpes. Four men were charged with a theft of an 18 carat gold toilet valued at $5.9 million. Wow. So four men steal a golden toilet, or Macau invasive species. [00:11:11] Speaker B: Was that like a monkey? The Macau? [00:11:13] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a monkey. I believe that was Ross Geller's monkey in the hit show friends. [00:11:18] Speaker B: That's a Reese's monkey. [00:11:19] Speaker A: That's a Reese's monkey. I have no idea. [00:11:22] Speaker B: I knew that monkey. I don't know a lot about monkeys. I know that monkey. [00:11:24] Speaker A: Okay, good. Marcel was a Reese's monkey, ladies and gentlemen. I thank rip. [00:11:28] Speaker B: Both of them, I'm sure. [00:11:29] Speaker A: Yeah, and Matthew Perry. Anyway, moving on. [00:11:31] Speaker B: Chandler and the monkey. So I think someone stole the toilet at Mar Lago. That's Florida. And the monkeys are foreign. [00:11:41] Speaker A: All right, so the four men were charged in London for stealing a golden toilet worth $5.9 million. Jeez. And apparently some douchebag last, a couple of years ago, brought a Macau that has a few of them that have. [00:11:59] Speaker B: Reproduced the big eyes. [00:12:01] Speaker A: And they have a rare form of herpes that kind of make them a little bit rabid. And they say, do not feed them because they are drooling. Herpes in Florida. [00:12:12] Speaker B: The thing is, they both. I mean, I guess the game, right? They both sound very Florida appropriate. [00:12:16] Speaker A: I don't know. This is not rigged against you, all right? I'm just asking questions. All right, last one. [00:12:21] Speaker B: God, a $5 million toilet. [00:12:25] Speaker A: $5 million toilet. [00:12:26] Speaker B: That's a lot. [00:12:28] Speaker A: That's an expensive poop. [00:12:29] Speaker B: It's called a loo in the UK. [00:12:32] Speaker A: That's one pricey loo. I don't know why that was fucking anyway. All right, last one. You Ready? [00:12:39] Speaker B: No, but here we go. [00:12:40] Speaker A: Anthropologist discovers human head at an antique store and alerts authorities. A woman finishes more than 20 body modifications to realize her dream of becoming a cat. Foreign or Florida? Which one is which? [00:13:01] Speaker B: Was Tiger King in Florida? [00:13:03] Speaker A: Tiger King was in Florida. Yes. [00:13:05] Speaker B: I know it's irrelevant, but I felt like it might be. [00:13:08] Speaker A: You can shit on Florida all you want. [00:13:10] Speaker B: I've spent some time in Florida. [00:13:12] Speaker A: We have all done our time in Florida. No offense to all my Floridians out there, but there's a reason you live here, not Florida. Go ahead. [00:13:20] Speaker B: You know what's wrong with there? You know what's wrong with you Floridians? So I think Cat lady is foreign. And then the first one. What's the first one again? [00:13:30] Speaker A: Anthropologist discovers human head. [00:13:32] Speaker B: Human head, I think is Floridian. Floridian. [00:13:36] Speaker A: All right. So an anthropologist went into a thrift store in Miami Dade county and found a human skull and said, you know what? That looks a little. Alerted authorities that he confirmed it is real. The owner said, I just got it off a container that I auctioned. Storage unit that he wanted. An auction. And a woman in Italy has finished her final transformation into becoming a cat. I'm not going to show you the picture because what the. [00:14:09] Speaker B: Know, there's been. Historically, there's been a few cat people. [00:14:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Maureen Ponderosa. That's a deep cut for all you always sunny fans out there. [00:14:19] Speaker B: Let's see. [00:14:20] Speaker A: Yeah, that's her. That is her. And the thing is that she looks like an anime version of a cat. Like the way they draw people to look like cats. [00:14:31] Speaker B: I think she just looks. She looks like she's a cyberpunky kind of. Like. She doesn't look cat like to me. Now, Google Cat, man. Have you seen this man looked like a cat screwing whiskers. And like Cat man, he'd make the rounds in the Jerry Springer shows in the late ninety s. And there they are. That's the cat man I'm talking about. [00:14:52] Speaker A: Jesus Christ. So whoever did this Italian woman surgery fucked up because they didn't talk to this guy. [00:15:00] Speaker B: Yeah, they're much more feline. [00:15:03] Speaker A: I feel bad for everybody listening to this on the pod that cannot see this, but when you have a chance, please Google Catman. Oh my God. That is the craziest thing I've ever seen. [00:15:17] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. Ain't that America? [00:15:23] Speaker A: Well, I'm sorry to go so hard in the paint with you better before you get back, but we're going to take our first break and then we'll be back with more Papa don't preach and less cat people. Jesus Christ. And we're back. So I just discovered a new game. I know we're going to talk about our kids interests, but have you had the chance of playing Mario, the new Mario Wonder for Nintendo Switch? [00:16:05] Speaker B: Yes. And not only have I played it, I actually beat it this afternoon. [00:16:08] Speaker A: You beat it? Yeah. Oh my. [00:16:11] Speaker B: It. No. [00:16:13] Speaker A: Oh my God. There's lots levels. [00:16:14] Speaker B: But the thing know, I'm still not smoking weed. So to fill my time, I've been cramming it with Mario Wonder whenever I have any downtime. [00:16:24] Speaker A: How's that going, by the way? [00:16:25] Speaker B: Oh, it's fine. [00:16:26] Speaker A: It's good. [00:16:27] Speaker B: No, it's like every once in a while I have like a little like, hey, no, it would be great right now, but usually it's like, nah, I don't even want to mess with it. [00:16:33] Speaker A: I remember when I stopped for a while, my appetite was affected. It was hard for me to eat. Do you experience that at all? [00:16:41] Speaker B: No. [00:16:41] Speaker A: Okay, good. Anyway, moving on. [00:16:43] Speaker B: Turns out I'm just a fat ass. Not a stone fat ass. Nah, my ice cream intake is about the same. [00:16:51] Speaker A: Okay, well, for those of you guys wondering what the hell Mario Wonder is, it's a new game from Nintendo Switch, the newest installment of the Mario franchise. And in my opinion, this is one of the best. I think the animation is great. I think it's a lot of fun. I play it with my son. He is a nightmare to play with. It's not verses or anything. They're just. He's your companion that jumps off cliffs and runs into lava and touches everything. Have you played with your kids? [00:17:23] Speaker B: Kind of. I've let him on the map. We'll run around, I'll let him press the jump button and he doesn't have the dexterity yet. [00:17:32] Speaker A: Yeah. You don't play what you say. [00:17:33] Speaker B: No, we play racing games, like where he praise the accelerator and I drive. But, yeah, his hands aren't quite there yet. [00:17:40] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, I get it with the games I've been put because I got the bozo started so young, he's able to understand, like, hey, these are my three buttons. These are my three buttons. I also have Spiderman. The new Spiderman. [00:17:58] Speaker B: Yeah, me too. [00:17:58] Speaker A: That's a whole nother fucking pod, by the way. That game is fucking amazing. [00:18:02] Speaker B: It looks great. It's fun. [00:18:03] Speaker A: It's so cool. [00:18:04] Speaker B: Great stuff. [00:18:05] Speaker A: It's so cool. But anyway, I gave him the controller, and he pressed, like, the R fell to the ground and was just walking around the street. And he's like, this is too hard for me. He's like, this is too difficult. I don't want to play this. He just wanted to watch me play it. But when I pop on Mario, he just lights up. Like, the animation is great. All the new characters, the depth of field that they have. You can be in the background. You can be in the foreground. There's so many secrets. Have you discovered all the secrets? [00:18:32] Speaker B: I've gotten a few. The level design is amazing. There's so many positives with it because I'm a Mario guy. I played them all. [00:18:41] Speaker A: He's played them all. [00:18:42] Speaker B: I played them all. I've beaten most. [00:18:43] Speaker A: He's beaten most. [00:18:44] Speaker B: Definitely played them all. Okay, this one. There's some big differences. Like, you're not in the Mushroom Kingdom or your whole new kingdom. That's one of my favorite things. There's the turtles and the Goombas, and that's pretty much it. All the rest are brand new bad guys. [00:18:59] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, the fucking hippos. Yeah. [00:19:01] Speaker B: There's level specific bad guys that all have little gimmicks and tricks to them. [00:19:05] Speaker A: Yeah. This game is so fun. [00:19:06] Speaker B: It's fun, man. It looks gorgeous. [00:19:09] Speaker A: I love being an elephant. [00:19:11] Speaker B: That is my one. Maybe a hot take. I think the power ups are kind of mid in this game. [00:19:18] Speaker A: I will say yes, because you got. [00:19:20] Speaker B: Your elephant, you got your drill hat, you got your bubble flower. Those are the three new ones, and they're fine. I think the elephant's just like. You're, like, three times as big as regular Mario. It's harder to move around because you're not so fun. [00:19:32] Speaker A: It's so fun. I love the little animation. When he goes into the tube, forgets his hat and grabs, like, Indiana Jones. [00:19:38] Speaker B: I love that animation. What do you think of the little flower guys around the flower guys? [00:19:42] Speaker A: So all of you who are, like, tuning out and be like. They're talking about video games. I want to tell you right now. They have these little flower guys that basically tell you when you're fucking up, and it's so great. Like, you walk past them. Are you forgetting something? Yeah, maybe. [00:19:54] Speaker B: They're like, how'd you get up here? If you find, like, a secret or something, they're funny. There's one where you're on a crazy ride and the guy's, like, freaking out. [00:20:05] Speaker A: The whole time with you and the wonder seed. When you get the wonder seed and it goes into this psychedelic trip, it's. [00:20:12] Speaker B: Great because it's like. Yeah, because you play the revel normal and you could skip the whole part. But if you find this one little power up, the whole level changes. And sometimes it'll flip dimensions. Sometimes you'll be like, there's one. Have you gotten the Goomba? You turn into a Goomba yet? [00:20:30] Speaker A: No, I haven't been there. [00:20:31] Speaker B: Fucking spoiler alert. But there's one level where there's, like, little Goombas running around. You hit it and you become a Goomba. And you can't jump. You can only hide from other Goomba enemies trying to eat you and stuff. They do that kind of stuff. Or you turn into objects, or you'll turn into. The whole level changes to this brand new thing, and it's so much fun. And it looks gorgeous. [00:20:53] Speaker A: I love how they incorporated a lot of the villains and characters from all the other Mario games. Like, you even had the Mario Two dinosaur that's shooting the eggs out of, first of all, Mario Two. Garbage game. Garbage game. It's fun, but it's not a Mario game. [00:21:09] Speaker B: Well, it's not. It's a reskinned game called Doki Doki Panic. Because fucking don't talk Mario. [00:21:17] Speaker A: Don't bring Mario to the table if. [00:21:18] Speaker B: You don't want to hear the facts. They thought Mario Two was going to be too hard for our dumb American hands. And they were right. [00:21:24] Speaker A: Yes, my fat American hands. I'm like, what is this? There's no BBQ. [00:21:29] Speaker B: So they reskinned a game called Dokie Doki Panic and put it out as Mario Two in the USA. And we didn't get the lost levels until Mario All Stars came out. Yes, and yes, I am married. [00:21:43] Speaker A: All right, so anyway, sorry, Natalie. Anyway, it's great to play these games with our kids and see these little lights shine in them. And that was one of the things that I wanted to talk to you about because your guys are grown up real fast. [00:21:59] Speaker B: Yeah, it's happening, man. [00:22:00] Speaker A: They're grown up real fast. And I had an interesting situation with my kid recently, and I just wanted to talk to you about it. And I'm not sure. There's probably a bunch of parents that have gone through this, but once I start to kind of realize that we got to pay attention to what our kids are into. When you were growing up, you're like, hey, I want to be a firefighter. Your parents like, no, they don't make money. There was no way for us to kind of fall on our face or kind of explore these type of things. Like, yeah, some parents are cool and progressive. Back in my day, we call them beatniks. But indulging your kids interest and seeing where that leads is such a big part of being a father that some of us latchky kids didn't really get. [00:22:50] Speaker B: Growing up, I was definitely, like, I was made to do what my dad liked. Like, he was a sports guy, so I had to play the sports and fucking hated 99% of it all, because it just wasn't like I was made into an athlete through the football field. [00:23:07] Speaker A: I was not walking to the football. [00:23:09] Speaker B: Field, becoming an athlete. [00:23:11] Speaker A: Oh, really? [00:23:11] Speaker B: A real uncoordinated fucking kid. Who knows about Dokie Doki Panic. [00:23:14] Speaker A: I can smell the Art Institute all over you. I'll tell you right now, I would have been one of those guys. I was one of the guys that our coaches be like, yo, see that big ass kid over there? Ask him why he's not playing football. I'd just be like, hey, man, don't you want to be cool? No. Like, oh, good thing he didn't hit me. [00:23:36] Speaker B: Yeah, I want to hang out with my weirdo friends. [00:23:40] Speaker A: This guy played. Tell me you played Pokemon cards. Without telling me you played Pokemon cards. [00:23:44] Speaker B: I was too old for Pokemon cards. [00:23:46] Speaker A: Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. Happy birthday, Bennett. Yeah, by the fucking 40. [00:23:51] Speaker B: Not that I haven't played lots of Pokemon games since then. That was too cool for it as a kid, as an adult. Let's bring it on. [00:24:04] Speaker A: I went to this dinner, like the Sunday roast. Shout out to Katie Earl and Joshua Hogan. You guys are dope. But I went to the Sunday roast, and these friends of ours, they had this little studio they built in the back, and it was a family affair. They had a baby. My kid was playing with a baby. We had a monster truck out there. We're eating dinner, just enjoying adult life, and my boy took Ozo into the studio was like, hey, do you want to play the drums? He's like, what's the drums? And so he went in there and he's played the piano. Yeah, he hates it. And I asked him, don't you want to play an instrument? He's like, I don't know. I don't know. And then he picked up the drums, and not only was he able to stay on beat, he was so keyed into the direction he was getting. He had such a blast. I was like, oh, my God, I got to nurture this shit. He actually loves this. And it's weird to see things that your kids like and then things that your kids love. And that's something that struck me because, yeah, he loves playing video games. Yeah, monster trucks are cool. But, bro, his face when he was playing the drums. Oh, my God. And he was not bad. I was kind of a little jealous thinking about kicking the drums over and be like, you're not that good. But that's because I'm a hater at heart. That's because I'm a hater at heart. Hater raid. Hashtag honey nut hater, Rose. [00:25:27] Speaker B: Hate. [00:25:28] Speaker A: Hate. Let me tell you about. Okay, never mind. I don't want to get into it, but, yeah. The reason I want to talk to you about this is because have you seen things in your kid where you're like, not. I have to nurture that, but I have to explore it, because saying yes to certain situations is a great step. But with your little guys, because they got each other. They don't need you. [00:25:55] Speaker B: Really. [00:25:56] Speaker A: They got each oTher. But have you seen any of that? [00:25:59] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, Miles has been a car kid for a long time, to the point where he knows car brands and car styles. And we got the Christmas catalog sort of coming in. So during the target catalog, they got different power wheels vehicles. I want the Land Rover and I want the Jeep. And I want the Bronco. [00:26:19] Speaker A: Yes. Oh, my God. [00:26:22] Speaker B: And he knew them. He can't read, obviously, but he just knew by the shape of them what they were. And he'd be like, look at that. Black Ney's car. Yes. That is the naynay car, and it is black. It's like, I don't know how he's always listening and sticking things, but he loves cars. [00:26:45] Speaker A: Okay. [00:26:46] Speaker B: Loves monster trucks and stuff like that. [00:26:48] Speaker A: I remember him at the car show, man. [00:26:51] Speaker B: We're going to do it again. We're going to do it again in a couple of weeks. [00:26:53] Speaker A: Can I come with you? [00:26:54] Speaker B: Yeah, definitely. Hell, yeah. [00:26:56] Speaker A: I'm not bringing Ozo. He was not interested. He ruined it for me last year. He was not interested at all. And that's why I want to nurture that. So I'll leave him at home by himself. [00:27:07] Speaker B: Nah, that little dude lost his fucking mind. Yeah, that was, we talked about it last year, but it's like, it's all the new cars and they're all open. You could walk in them, you can climb in it in the driver's seat. And no one tells him no, dude. [00:27:18] Speaker A: That grin on his face, that infectious grin. My kid was, I'll be honest, was getting on my last goddamn nerves. But once you showed up and I just saw the joy in your son, I'm like, looking at my piece of shit. I'm like, fucking smile. [00:27:32] Speaker B: It was a bad day. Yeah, they ain't all good days. [00:27:35] Speaker A: No, they're all good days. But, yeah, I mean, one thing I did learn after I started looking up a lot of this is it's very easy for us to derail our kids interests by just preemptively deciding, like, yeah, we know them, we know they're not going to like it, but not letting them fail or letting them lose interest on their own and being the dad and taking over and saying, hey, you're not going to like this. It's crazy that we can. I know we have influence in our children, but taking a step back and just being supportive and watching their little brains go, you don't want to hinder their curiosity. [00:28:20] Speaker B: No. [00:28:20] Speaker A: At all. [00:28:22] Speaker B: No. And I definitely felt like I got that a little bit from my dad where it's like the shit that I was interested in, he had no interest in and was pretty obvious. So, yeah, even the little dude's more into superheroes and he's been wanting to watch the Ninja Turtles lately. So I'll put on the 90s cartoon. [00:28:42] Speaker A: Yeah, we know about you and the Turtles. [00:28:44] Speaker B: Me and the Turtles are. Go back. And now they're watching him too. But, yeah, instead of watching blues Clues or blue, he's like, Ninja Turtles. Yeah, let's watch a Ninja turtle. Yeah, let's do it. [00:28:56] Speaker A: Well, there is a time when their interest does cross a very dangerous threshold. And I took my son to the Camper Bluey experience. [00:29:06] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. It's like real life Bluey. It's a traveling thing. It's here in LA. [00:29:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:14] Speaker B: You go into Bluey's world. [00:29:16] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a whole interactive experience where you're in Bluey's house and you have to play hide and go seek with Bluey and bingo. [00:29:23] Speaker B: Touching Bluey stuff. Yeah, you know, like looking for change. [00:29:27] Speaker A: Shannon fucking bless her heart. I thought it was a good idea. And so did you know. Hey, you know what? He had a good day. He's been doing well at school. Let's do a ditch day Monday, pull him out of school so he can do his Bluey thing. One thing that was lost upon me is that obviously all the kids his age are in school. Not all of them get the day off. And I went in there and it was like three and four year olds, and it was utter chaos. Yeah, it was like the idea that they had this plan. Like, you had these people sitting and I even talked to them. They're like, oh, yeah, the morning. Not until the later shift does it actually have a little structure. It's just a madhouse. Kids screaming, running, throwing. They're like, who wants to play keepy Uppie? And do you remember those videos of women passing out in the crowds of a Michael Jackson concert? [00:30:18] Speaker B: Yeah, like the Beatles shows and shit. [00:30:19] Speaker A: This guy had a magic asparagus in his pocket and said, who wants to play keepy uppie? And pretended to wave his magic asparagus, which is a plot device from the show Bluey, for all of you guys listening, and pulled out this red ball. And I tried to get a video. These kids lost their fuck. I was like, god damn, kids. [00:30:44] Speaker B: But act like you've been there. [00:30:46] Speaker A: Yeah. I was like, God. And I looked at my kid, he's foaming up the fucking mouth. And I was like, oh, so you got to be nice. You have to be gentle. He went to slap this ball and just clean clock this little girl right across the face, and she got up like a mosh pit. Was like, hell, yeah, brother. And they were just jumping around this living room. And, man, I know we give, like, props to the first responders, but I want to throw props up to the people that are working at the Bluey experience right now in the afternoon shift. These guys, I swear to God. Oh, my God. You were Nam. I was in Bluey up as a Beverly grand. I'll tell you right now, it was fucking wild. Talk about anxiety that you get, like, just being there watching kids throw things. Kids try to build forts and try to climb on these terribly structured cushions like they had nuggets for days. Watching this poor 20 year old try to put a hiding seek game together. Kids running there. My kid Ozo grabbed the magic asparagus and was trying to turn people into different animals. He's like, you're a hippopotamus the guy's like, okay, I'm a hippopotamus. I don't know what sound they make. Snap, snap. No. They started booing this guy. The kid's like, no, that's not a my. I'm like, oh, so give him back the asparagus. [00:32:24] Speaker B: But yes, this is a total aside, but while we were in Texas, it was our niece's birthday party. They had a bounce house. And this is the difference between my two kids. Miles is, like, super cautious. Like, it takes him a second to warm up. And Mirror was in there, threw his shoes off, and was in it within. [00:32:40] Speaker A: Like, 30 seconds of being there. Yeah, I saw him at the water. [00:32:43] Speaker B: Park, and Miles needs a second to warm up. But at one point, I was Trying to encourage miles to go in there, like, hey, bud, maybe do it slow. Maybe just check it out. And then all the kids there sort of in unison saying, go away, go away to me. And I was like, all right, Jesus Christ. Okay, fine, I'm leaving. I hadn't experienced know it was a. [00:33:06] Speaker A: Bunch of toddlers, and it's still. [00:33:07] Speaker B: I was like, ow. [00:33:09] Speaker A: Yeah, that hurt. Kids are fucking brutal, bro. They are fucking brutal. [00:33:16] Speaker B: They went hive mind so fast. [00:33:18] Speaker A: That's the crazy thing. Like, once one kid loses their mind, every single one of them like, yo, we going ham right now? We go hard as a motherfucker right now. Oh, man. I want to nurture every single one of my kids interests. That is not one of them. I know I'm talking out of two sides of my mouth right now, but I am fully aware that I can go up to this kid and be like, we're never doing this again. And he'll be like, yeah, I feel you, bro. [00:33:47] Speaker B: Slot. [00:33:50] Speaker A: He's a little kid, and he had the sweat ring around his neck. He's a kid. That's something. Like, you get a hell week in football and varsity. It was just crazy, nonstop movement. We didn't even make it out. Like, I put him in the seat when we got hike. Put him in his car seat. I put him in his little buckle, his little lifter seat. I got in the car, I'm like, did you have fun? He's like, yeah. And then I was like, yeah, I had a lot of fun with you. Okay, he's out and he's done. He is out. He sat down, he said, yeah. And that yow. He just done, yeah. [00:34:30] Speaker B: That's how we went hiking this last weekend, and it was a pretty decent hike with the kids. With the kids. A hike we hadn't done. It was right in the beginning of the pandemic. Last time we did it, and we didn't have one of them, and they did really good. We all found sticks. We all had walking sticks and hiking sticks. But, yeah, that was the thing. And when we got to the car, they were like, the door closed and they were both asleep. [00:34:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:58] Speaker B: I was like, success. [00:34:59] Speaker A: I can't tell you as a father getting in the car after literally going to war. Okay, I'm not a soldier, but wars. [00:35:12] Speaker B: Come in many shapes and siZes. [00:35:14] Speaker A: Leaving Disneyland, leaving the park, leaving the mall, leaving anything outside of your house, and closing the door. Can watch your kid doze off. There's like, this is why motherfuckers dying from fentanyl. That must be what it feels like. Because I look back there, and I'm just like, yeah, got to pull over one. But, yes, I digress. One of the greatest things. Like, one of the biggest advice. Blam. I'm not sure where we got this. One of those quotes about praising efforts and not their ability when it comes to their interest, that's, like, one of the greatest things I've heard about. Encouraging your kids to try new things and just pumping up that curiosity bone in them, because I know my haterade coming in. Got a warning. Haterade coming in. I was a dancer when I was a kid. I love to dance like, I grew up on Michael Jackson, and I just love to move. And my kid is starting to express some interest in dance. Motherfucker doesn't have a rhythmic bone in his body. I wish he did, but, man, maybe. [00:36:29] Speaker B: The drums will help. [00:36:30] Speaker A: Maybe. I mean, that's what it is. It's in his hands. It's definitely not in his feet. He's like, dad, look at this. And I'm like, are you okay? You need the Heimlich. What's going on? But every time he starts moving and grooving, I didn't realize that. It's just kind of natural for us, maybe because we didn't get it. He does something dumb. I'm just like, hell, yeah, do it again. [00:36:53] Speaker B: No, Miro, the younger dude's been dancing like this lately. [00:36:56] Speaker A: Oh, leading like a. Leading like a. [00:36:59] Speaker B: He's throwing them like this, and it's fucking hilarious. Every time he does it, honestly, he's got more rhythm than me. He's on the beat more. Is that not. I mean, hey, more rhythm than you. I am the white guy in the house. It's not a giant achievement. [00:37:17] Speaker A: You're the only white dude in your family. Yeah. [00:37:20] Speaker B: Even my dog has color, too. [00:37:27] Speaker A: Oh, man, you're a puppy of color. Do you remember? All right, so I want you to try to see if you could draw a parallel hill. Do you remember something that I'm not sure, because I remember one for me. Do you remember something that you were interested in that your parents were like, no. And that you either had to pursue by yourself or you just left it alone and it kind of pulls at you a little bit. Is there anything that you have that I know one that I had, and it's actually funny because it was the drums. Oh, yeah, it was the drums. I remember playing the drums. My mom got me a little drum set. Played them every day. I just outgrew them. They're a little play school drum set. My mom said she was going to get me a new drum set. We went to Sam Ash. I tried out a few. She put them on Layaway for the Caucasians listening to this. The layaway is something that parents used to do to get their kids hopes up that it may come home anyway. So, yeah, my mom put these drums on Layaway, and they just never showed up. And I get where she's coming from now. It was like $4,000 for a pearl drum set. [00:38:41] Speaker B: For, like, loud. [00:38:42] Speaker A: Yeah. My mom's noise. No brainer. Spend 4K on my kid ruining every single night I come home or have him read a book. But, yeah, so that was one that I remember. I was just so into drums. I was so into drums. And one compromise that we had is when we came back from Nigeria in 96, she got me a handcrafted short Tom Tom Gembe with the stick and everything. And, I mean, it wasn't my drum set, but I was pretty fucking stoked about that thing. I was very happy about it. And my mom used to throw these little parties. Obi, grab your drum. [00:39:24] Speaker B: Do the drum. [00:39:25] Speaker A: Yeah, I got a few of those instruments, actually, right over there. So we'll pull them out and play them later. We'll pull them out and play them later. Thank God for my sister hanging on to them. I was like, throw that in the trash. Throw in the trash. Bad memories. But do you remember wanting to be a football star or an actor or a musician? [00:39:44] Speaker B: The thing is, usually my mom would encourage, because I had so many different weird hobbies and stuff. Like, I was into magic for a bit. I was into Legos. Still in the Legos. Not a know, comic books, like any of those things. Like my mom know, definitely encourage and stuff. And my dad was usually playing golf. Yeah, he just wasn't like, where's Brock? Yeah, let's talk about basketball with Brock. Unless it was immediately sports related. He wasn't really, until there's some music and stuff he got me into and some definitely movies and stuff he kind of helped me get into. But no, I was a person of lots of different weird pursuits. And usually they'd encourage them. [00:40:31] Speaker A: Was your dad into wrestling? Or was he, like, that's fake? [00:40:34] Speaker B: No, but I'd come to find out my grandfather was into wrestling. [00:40:37] Speaker A: Get the fuck out of here. [00:40:38] Speaker B: Yeah, because he said he talked about, remember, watching it with his dad and stuff. But no, he liked real sports. [00:40:45] Speaker A: Yeah, okay. Yeah. [00:40:49] Speaker B: I mean, they're athletes. There's no doubt about it. But they would also every once in a while, because Brock's birthday is real close to WrestleMania time. So a lot of times we buy WrestleMania as part of his birthday presents. We talk him down to get a SummerSlam every once in a while. [00:41:03] Speaker A: There's no way you can go to something like that and not have a great time, no matter if you're a fan or not. [00:41:08] Speaker B: No, you can't completely shut the door on, you know, he. They didn't completely shut the door on those things, you know, but he also wasn't like, let me show. I want to see your magic tricks. [00:41:20] Speaker A: I'll tell you right now that there's some things that my kid comes up to me, I have to remind myself to always say yes and always experience this experience with my kid. There's always those times. Because, again, not trying to be a hater, but sometimes he'll walk up to me and I am your dad. He'll come up to me and be like, oh, my God, I got this new monster truck. And it's a new. I'm like, you fucking nerd. Fuck out of here. That's what I want to say, but on the outside. But what I say is, like, really? Let me see it. How big are the wheels? And I'm starting to notice that always say yes mentality. It's just pushing their imagination and their creativity. It's putting it in hyperdrive. So when you're like, okay, cool. And you walk away, they're like, all right. They're still interested, and they're still going to talk at you. But when you start talking to them, you see their little brain start to branch out in all these different directions. And it's not to sound almost sound like a queer or nothing, but it's fucking magical. [00:42:26] Speaker B: It is magical. [00:42:27] Speaker A: It's fucking magical. [00:42:28] Speaker B: It's gay. As hell. [00:42:28] Speaker A: But, yeah, it's magical. [00:42:32] Speaker B: No? Anytime they're like, watch this, Daddy. Daddy, watch this. It's like, yeah, let's watch it. What's going on? What are you going to do? My mom was taking miles to a gym class, a gymboree kind of thing, where they do flips and they learn tumbling and stuff like that. [00:42:50] Speaker A: I had a ninja class for my kids. [00:42:51] Speaker B: Yeah, he was all about, like. And he still is because he's a very physical dude. He likes to crash. He had a rough night because he woke up, like, 330 last night and had a little accident. And then he went back to bed and then realized his bed was wet. Literally, I heard just, like, thump. Like, him rolling out of bed. Anyway, he was a little crashed out by the emotionally big tonight. Everything was like, throw on the floor. Like, Crash. He's just very physical, so gym class is really good for him. But he'd be like, hey, Dad, I watch this and do a tumble, then mirror. I'll be like, dad, I watch this and just like, fall. You guys are both killing it. You're both doing great. [00:43:34] Speaker A: I don't know if you haven't actually seen the house yet, but I built this. I like Frankenstein. A bunch of Thomas the tank engine train sets into one mega train set. And I decided I'm leaving it up for two weeks. And it's really motivated him because he loves trains. He loves trains. And our producer has been on the other end of this. He takes this shit seriously. Like a train falls off the rack. Stop all trains. Stop all trains. [00:44:06] Speaker B: Like, he's got to go there. [00:44:09] Speaker A: Some of it's my fault, but he's like, dad, look at this one. This one's going to go up, and then it's going to come down. I'm like, oh, yeah, like all of them. All right, let me watch it. Okay, it's going up. [00:44:19] Speaker B: Watch this. I've seen it happen two dozen times, but, yeah, let's watch it one more time. [00:44:24] Speaker A: And I don't know what age it is when kids start to recognize sarcasm, but I'm so glad it's not yet. I'm so glad it's not yet. Oh, really? Cool. Amazing. Show me more. Yeah, I'm not trying to bug him. I believe some of the people called shame him. I'm not trying to shame him. Yeah, he's fucking progressive nerds. They fucked up my vocabulary. Yeah, a nerd is a nerd. [00:44:51] Speaker B: All that language is real triggering to me. [00:44:53] Speaker A: Yeah, I feel triggered by some of this language. Anyway, we can do this for days. All right. But anyway, the last thing I wanted to mention, for the small percentage of you that come here for limited, ill informed information, one thing I know that we didn't have, which is, like, amazing right now, that if you have a child, right, I just suggest that you utilize these tools. When I was a kid, we didn't have the endless interwebs at our. And, like, if your kid's interesting in dance, pull up a YouTube video. Learn to dance with your. That. I did the cha cha slide with the Bozo Man. [00:45:37] Speaker B: You made it all the way to, uh. [00:45:38] Speaker A: No, I made it to cha cha. Real smooth. Cha cha again. Take it back now, y'all. And I'm like, all right. Oh, my God, four more minutes left. [00:45:46] Speaker B: That song's like nine minutes. [00:45:47] Speaker A: Yeah, I had to do the quick turn off on my iPhone. Like, oh, no. Turned off by itself. [00:45:53] Speaker B: But, yeah, everybody clap your hands. [00:45:59] Speaker A: How low can you go? Okay, we don't have the rights for. [00:46:02] Speaker B: This, but take it back now. [00:46:06] Speaker A: Two hoff this time. Okay, stop it. I won't be able to stop. It's in my bone. [00:46:11] Speaker B: Did you say stomp? [00:46:12] Speaker A: Okay, first, please just chacha. Real smooth. Cha cha again. Take it back now. Yeah. Okay. All right. [00:46:21] Speaker B: I can see why it's. Know, we've gone over this. The kids had a real hard yellow submarine phase. They're still in it. But, yeah, it was like they listened to that goddamn song so many times, bro. They know the words now. That's the thing, is, I can't say this in front of him because I don't want to discourage. But Miles never listens. But he's always listening. [00:46:43] Speaker A: Yeah, I got one of those. Yeah, I got one of those. [00:46:45] Speaker B: The things that he picks up because usually during dinner, we try not to do, like, TV and shit because they either get sucked in or it turns into a fight. [00:46:53] Speaker A: I want to watch this. We usually put a record on, so. [00:46:57] Speaker B: Like, the other night, we're listening to the Beatles and mouse. Like, is this the, like. Yeah, yeah, it is the Beatles. He started singing like, good day, sunshine. [00:47:04] Speaker A: It's like, how do you. [00:47:05] Speaker B: I don't listen to that song. This know. We never listen to that, but somehow it's kicking around his head and it's stuck. [00:47:11] Speaker A: Dude, the things that stick in kids heads that they excel in and they put forward is nuts, bro. Did I tell you what happened to fucking Blaine today? Oh, my God. This motherfucker Jose was, like, telling him, asking why his belly is so big. Blaine was like, oh, because I eat too many cheeseburgers. Like, how many cheeseburgers do you eat? Well, I eat one a day. How many is that? Well, there's 365 days of the year, so I have at least two cheeseburgers a day. That's why I'm this big. That's like 700 cheeseburgers. I was like, no, that's 730. And I was like. On my phone, I'm like, what the fuck? You carried it? No. He had to. [00:47:49] Speaker B: Again, I'm like, no. [00:47:51] Speaker A: And he got it. I was like, what the. And I know my kid is obsessed with numbers. He loves numbers. He sees the world in numbers. And you don't know what these kids fucking pick up. Like you're saying. He does not listen. But, man, he is always listening. [00:48:06] Speaker B: Always listening. [00:48:07] Speaker A: Dude, as anybody knows on this fucking podcast, the one thing that keeps me sane is getting my SVU. I need my SVU. I can't watch that with Ozo because he's sitting around booty dust. Sodomize. I can't watch it with this fucking kid. Brush your teeth. What'd you say? What'd you say, Daddy, I didn't hear. You got to do your homework. What? Oh, this girl was raped three times. Oh, Daddy, what does rape mean? Oh, fuck you, Ozo. God damn it. [00:48:37] Speaker B: Why are you listening now? [00:48:38] Speaker A: What the hell? But, yeah, it's a problem. It's a problem. BuT anyway, as I was moving on, I think that it's really good that we have tools right now that any, like, if you don't have the means to drive to a class, if you don't have the money to pay for a session, please take advantage of the interwebs, bro. [00:48:57] Speaker B: Just like we live in a big city. There's lots you Google. Kids activities. This weekend comes up. That's the thing. It's like me and natter and they're like, let's throw it the wall and see what sticks phase in our kids lives. Some of it sticks, and some of it don't. [00:49:11] Speaker A: You're going to end up at a fucking bluey massacre if you keep fucking around like that. [00:49:14] Speaker B: I'm going to end up at every goddamn soccer game. Next in two summers from now, is what can happen. [00:49:18] Speaker A: My kids in soccer right now, and it is a living meme. It's literally like two Mexican kids that might as well be on the fucking US national team. A girl who is picking off the grass and throwing up in the air. Another one doing butterflies on the ground. A kid crying because the ball wasn't passed. Who knows why he's crying? And then our goalie is like, you could tell her dad plays soccer, but she is so good and she looks like a goalie. She's got the hair up like the big fucking Palumalu hair in the ponytail, the big gloves, and the ball is rolling a mile per hour at her feet, and she does, like, a cartwheel dive to grab it. Like, every single thing is so dramatic. And she pulls me in, bro. I'm like, oh, hell, yeah. Nice save. Nice save. But, yeah, I feel bad for God. The soccer games are so terrible. Yeah. [00:50:22] Speaker B: Why aren't you an art class? [00:50:25] Speaker A: Why don't you play an instrument? Tired? [00:50:28] Speaker B: Baseball. [00:50:32] Speaker A: Is this your card? Oh, my God. But anyway. Yeah, man. First of all, I missed you. I missed you. Really. [00:50:44] Speaker B: I missed doing this. I missed you being here. [00:50:47] Speaker A: And before we leave, not before we leave. Before our next segment, it's very important to encourage your kids and just have faith in their curiosity. Do not stifle them, encourage them. Be a part of that. And that's all I really can do. [00:51:01] Speaker B: Praise effort, not ability, because God knows I didn't have any ability. You got to praise something. [00:51:07] Speaker A: Don't praise his ability. This motherfucker over here playing Dungeons and Dragon. Yo. We'll be right back. [00:51:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I did all it. [00:51:29] Speaker A: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the end of our podcast. So now we got Bennett back. I'm a big fan of games, but we have a top ten list for you because we are fathers that want to pass on whatever we have to our child, our children. We're going to talk about some of our celebrity counterparts who are not really our counterparts. These are our Nepo babies. And there's so many good actors that are doing their family name justice, but we're only going to talk about the shitty ones right now. Yeah. [00:52:03] Speaker B: I love it. I mean, we work in industry that's full of nepotism. [00:52:06] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:52:08] Speaker B: On the show I'm working on now, there's at least two, three father son Combos, and I know one of the. [00:52:16] Speaker A: Father son Combos and the dad phone. Dad's phoning it in. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Dad's phoning it in. But he's amazing. [00:52:23] Speaker B: He's great. I love him. But, yeah, he's on the end of his career. [00:52:27] Speaker A: Yeah, he's like, get the check. Let my kid take over. Yeah. Yes. [00:52:31] Speaker B: That is what's going on. I've worked with a couple. I know a couple. They usually run the gamut of completely worthless fucking human beings or people that are very capable because they're so afraid of being worthless human beings, they went the entire other direction. [00:52:48] Speaker A: 100% right. 100 fucking percent right. All right, so, ladies and gentlemen, we put a top ten list together of the worst Nepo babies in the industry. Let us know if you forgot anybody, but let's go ahead and kick it off. At number ten, we have rumor Willis. [00:53:04] Speaker B: Daughter of Demi and Bruce, right? [00:53:07] Speaker A: Yes. [00:53:08] Speaker B: I've seen her in a couple of things and I think she's fine. [00:53:13] Speaker A: I don't want to say that she has something like Demi Moore. Fantastic. Bruce Willis, you know, he's been doing the same thing for two decades. [00:53:22] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, she ain't fucking Ethan Hawking. Uma Thurman's daughter, who's like, she can act. Maya Hawk, chicken act. [00:53:29] Speaker A: She can fucking act. That's what I'm saying. Like, come on, rumor. Come on. I heard a rumor. You suck. I heard a rumor. [00:53:39] Speaker B: I know you got this job. [00:53:43] Speaker A: All right, number nine, we have Haley Bieber. [00:53:47] Speaker B: Okay. [00:53:49] Speaker A: All right. [00:53:50] Speaker B: I am 40. Is she married to Justin or is she related to Justin? [00:53:55] Speaker A: So she's married to Justin. She is the daughter of. I believe it's Alec Baldwin. Stephen Baldwin. [00:54:02] Speaker B: He's a religious one, right? At least he was. He's not the fat faced one. He's not the manslaughterer. [00:54:14] Speaker A: Manslaughterer. Not that. So he was the one from Biodome. I believe he was the one from Biodome. [00:54:19] Speaker B: He was the one that was in the bubble and wanted to cause some trouble. [00:54:22] Speaker A: Yes. He was the one. Yeah. He was Barney Rubble and the Shitty Flintstones. Anyway, Viva Rock Vader. I remember. I think one of her biggest gigs was being. She was the host of that freestyle battle. Celebrity rap battle. What was the name of that show? It was a celebrity rap. [00:54:44] Speaker B: A show I would have worked on. [00:54:45] Speaker A: Yeah, it sounds like something that you probably. But, yeah, they had this show where they took celebrities and they had producers and writers write rap battles for them that they would diss each other on. And. Yeah, it was called Drop the Mic. And she was one of the hosts for these shows, I believe. So Haley Bieber was the host for one of these shows. And, I mean, that is the example of nepotism. Yeah, she doesn't have to act. She didn't have to. Like, she's just. You're famous. Here's something. Keep the legacy alive, which is fine, do it. But God damn. Boo. [00:55:25] Speaker B: Fucking boo. [00:55:26] Speaker A: Boo. Boo. Anyway, that's at number eight. At number nine. This one. This is number eight. Sorry, this is number eight. So at number eight, we have. Go ahead, Bennett. [00:55:41] Speaker B: Oh, is it Scott Eastwood? [00:55:43] Speaker A: Scott Eastwood. And he. [00:55:44] Speaker B: Which, is he the squinty face guy from. [00:55:47] Speaker A: No, no, that's what I thinking of. No, that's actually. That's. [00:55:50] Speaker B: That's James Khan song. [00:55:51] Speaker A: Yeah, that's. Yeah, Scott Khan. That's Scott Khan. [00:55:56] Speaker B: He's a squinty face dude. [00:56:01] Speaker A: He's the squinty dude. Something else. [00:56:03] Speaker B: Hey, and I'm a squinty motherfucker. I could call him like I see it. [00:56:06] Speaker A: Yeah, it's just like I would say Clint Eastwood is one of the biggest Hollywood presence that's still alive today from. This guy has everything he fucking. So for me, I don't know anything about him personally. He's probably like an awesome dude. I am saying he's garbage because, yo, take a film class, put out something dope, like, you got the entire industry behind you and this motherfucker is in the fate of the Furious as a side character. Like, come on, bro. If this is him paying his dues, fine. If he's in an A 24 movie next year that grips America, I'll come back here and say I'm wrong. But right now, wrath of a man. Yeblo. Yeblo. Dude. He was in Pacific Rim uprising. Not even the good one. [00:56:59] Speaker B: Not even the good one. [00:57:00] Speaker A: Not even the good one. Yeah, fuck it. Scott Eastwood, you burnt. [00:57:04] Speaker B: Burnt. [00:57:05] Speaker A: All right, all right. Coming in. Are we at number seven? Coming in, number seven, we have Lily Rose Depp. Guess whose kid this is. It's not Amber Heard's. So, uh, Lily Rose Depp, daughter of Johnny Depp. I don't know if you guys have saw this HBO Max show called just Heard. [00:57:30] Speaker B: I've heard how bad it was. I didn't watch it's got the weekend in it, right? That's that one. [00:57:38] Speaker A: Yeah. So first of all, the weekend is no Gambino. So he just needs to get out of the acting game completely. Not an EPO baby. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe his dad's a producer. Have no idea. Anyway, I think that this woman's performance in this show of Idol, trying to capture this Britney Spears Miley Cyrus vibe that she was doing, know, bandanas are just thrown on her as outfits, her scenes. There is zero emotion. There is zero skill. This might as well be a well shot version of Passions or fucking. What's that other soap opera with the General Hospital? That one. It is garbage. [00:58:24] Speaker B: Was she as bad. Speaking of Nepo babies, was she bad as Sophia Coppola and Godfather three? Like, that level of dead eyed Sophia Coppola is. Hey, she's a great director. [00:58:35] Speaker A: Yes. Sophia Coppola should never step in front of a camera. [00:58:40] Speaker B: Dad. So you're the Godfather. It was rough, and I know it's a classic take, but, likE, fucking rightfully so, it's a rough three and a half hours of watching her act. [00:58:53] Speaker A: Oh, man. All right, so, yeah, it's not good. All right, so I think we're at number five now or number six. All right, so we're coming at number six. We have John David Washington. [00:59:07] Speaker B: This is Denzel's kid. [00:59:08] Speaker A: This is Denzel's kid. [00:59:10] Speaker B: I'm unfamiliar with him. Washington. Who was this guy? [00:59:13] Speaker A: Denzel. Denzel. For? Friends of the Pod. Denzel. Denzel Washington is an African American actor that has frequented some gang films, like Trading Day, some inspirational period pieces, like Glory. [00:59:29] Speaker B: Literally, the movie goes, oh, no, you lost your football head. [00:59:34] Speaker A: You know, I had to face this the other way because they spelt festival wrong. So I got this for free. My beanie just fell off. For all of you on the pod, I'm wearing some of those. Know the merch we ship off to Africa after the Super bowl winners don't prevail. Anyway, yeah, so Denzel Washington's kid, the first time I saw him was in the poor man's version of entourage called Ballers with a rock. [01:00:02] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, he played a football player. [01:00:04] Speaker A: And you're like, okay, who is this guy? That's fine. This shows just for one thing, seeing boobs on Sunday night, that's all the show was for. No depth for this show. But his performance in Black Klansman was. I think it was just a great movie. It's Spike Lee. I think he did a great job, but stop forcing this motherfucker on me. He is not good. He is not good. [01:00:29] Speaker B: That's the problem is you're always going to get paired to your parents, especially if your parents have historically got the goods. [01:00:37] Speaker A: Yes. [01:00:39] Speaker B: It's just the way it is. [01:00:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, he can do what he can to emulate. He can pave his own path. [01:00:50] Speaker B: Yeah, you got to pull a Nick Cage. Nick Coppola. [01:00:54] Speaker A: Yeah. Change your God, change your name, do your own thing. But like Tenet, garbage Amsterdam garbage creator. I just saw the trailer. I'm not interested. But am I going to see it? Yes, I am. I'm a big Sci-Fi guy going to see it. All right, so for him, you know what the thing, too is? I've seen him interviewed. He seems like a dope dUde. I just like, you're out of your depth, bro. You're out of your depth. Yeah, you're out of your depth. Anyway, moving on, number five. Number five. We have Willow and Jaden Smith. I am not going to say anything about Willow and Jaden Smith. I have been updated with their upbringing and some of the things they've had to deal with in their transition into adulthood, and I'm going to go ahead and give them a pass. [01:01:57] Speaker B: Yeah. I actually did a video shoot with Willow Smith. [01:02:02] Speaker A: Oh, nice. [01:02:02] Speaker B: And she was nice. It was one of those weird little moments where I was checking out for the day and I was just talking to production, like, all right, guys, see you later. Bye. Whatever. But Willow was leaving the same time and she thought I was telling her bye, and she stopped and turned around and said, hey, bye. It's so nice having you here. Like that kind of thing. I wasn't even talking to you. But, yeah, hey, bye. Good to see you. [01:02:28] Speaker A: That makes it even worse. You know when you're trying to wave at somebody and they think you're waving at them, but you're waving at the person behind them? [01:02:33] Speaker B: Yeah, it was Willow Smith. [01:02:35] Speaker A: God damn. [01:02:37] Speaker B: I wasn't even talking to. [01:02:40] Speaker A: Hey, I said I'm not going to say shit. I mean, good luck to Jaden and Kid Cudi. Whatever you guys live. Life don't care. [01:02:46] Speaker B: Although, we did have to use Jaden's water on set. That was the one requirement is that. [01:02:50] Speaker A: Oh, God. That motherfucking is fucking water. [01:02:52] Speaker B: His box water. It was fine. Water came from a box? [01:02:55] Speaker A: Yeah. It fucking tastes like cardboard. Anyway, coming in at number four, all of the fucking Jenners and all of the Kardashians, these motherfuckers have been plaguing our existence based off a goddamn murder trial. [01:03:14] Speaker B: Yeah, well, I mean, the sex tape helped a bunch. [01:03:16] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, the dad was Olympian, but he married after the fact and he had the Jenners. But anyway, the sex tape did help, but I don't know if you saw Kim's newest venture. She's got a bra with nipples on it to inform people about climate change, that hard nipples will not be a thing as the world starts to heat up. Hearts in the right place. [01:03:36] Speaker B: Hey, that's a real roundabout way. [01:03:41] Speaker A: Everything is a cash grab. I love it. [01:03:43] Speaker B: They suck. [01:03:45] Speaker A: They suck. But they are genius when it comes to fucking making money. [01:03:48] Speaker B: They know what they're doing when it comes to making them bucks. [01:03:50] Speaker A: God damn. They got a fucking empire going on. But disgusting. They make me sick. Yeah. [01:03:54] Speaker B: They're the worst. [01:03:55] Speaker A: All right, moving on to number three, Chet Hanks for those of you who do not know Chet Hanks, he is the failed son of Tom Hanks. [01:04:03] Speaker B: Well, he's a rapper. Failed actor, failed white rapper. White rapper already has two strikes against you to begin with. [01:04:10] Speaker A: Come on. Eminem's not that bad. [01:04:12] Speaker B: He's it. Yeah, you got Eminem, and then in the distant 4th, 5th, 6th Macklemore. Who else you got? [01:04:19] Speaker A: Machine Gun Kelly. Yeah, I know. [01:04:22] Speaker B: Kill shot. What about Rob Van Winkle? No. [01:04:27] Speaker A: Okay, yeah. I mean, Mac Miller was good. [01:04:33] Speaker B: He was white. [01:04:34] Speaker A: Yeah, but he dead. Rest in peace. Rip, Rip. But, yeah, Chet Hanks is kind of like a goddamn mess. And talk about failing your way all the way to the top. The fact that this guy is living comfortably makes me fucking sick because you're just not allowed to fucking fail this much and just be successful. It's very annoying. But at the same time, Tom Hanks, you did a great job. I love you. [01:05:00] Speaker B: I think you're doing know Colin's great. [01:05:03] Speaker A: Colin's great. Colin's great. Colin's great. Chet. [01:05:07] Speaker B: And I mean, you're saying. What I'm going to say is that Chet is. You're destined to fail with a name like. [01:05:14] Speaker A: He didn't have a chance. He didn't have a chance. Tom, what were you doing? [01:05:18] Speaker B: Chet's listening right now, but you got to work twice as hard. [01:05:22] Speaker A: Yeah, Chet Stedman. Too bad you failed Rookie of the Year. Fucking teenager took your saying. Just saying. Anyway, moving on to number two, we have Max Landis. Ugh. This motherfucker. [01:05:36] Speaker B: That's John Landis. Of Max Landis and Ghostbuster producing fame. [01:05:41] Speaker A: Yes. [01:05:42] Speaker B: Directing fan? I can't remember. [01:05:44] Speaker A: Not only is this predator never put out anything good, but he has been writing the coattails of his fucking family name, and he is garbage. And the worst, he's a stain on America. Stain on, like, people like this. It just sucks that you put your energy into guys like this. But when do we stop doing background checks on motherfuckers just because they have a famous name? [01:06:11] Speaker B: That's the industry we're in, man. Yeah, that's true. [01:06:14] Speaker A: I mean, I'm talking a lot of shit. I hope nobody does a background check on me. Oof. Hey, I have no famous parents. [01:06:21] Speaker B: No, you could do a background check. You're just going to find unpaid parking tickets. That's all you got for you. [01:06:27] Speaker A: Good luck with that. For you or just me? Because I got a lot of unpaid parking tickets. Yeah, for you, it's just a couple of magic cards. [01:06:36] Speaker B: I sold my magic card. [01:06:37] Speaker A: Okay, my bad, my bad. My bad. All right, so before we get to our number one, a few honorable mentions that we have. Lori Harvey. This is the stepdaughter of Steve Harvey. Yeah, stepdaughter. This woman is garbage. She just dates famous people. You've never heard of her. There's a reason garbage and Ivanka Trump, one of our good picks. [01:06:59] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, when the president wants to fuck you, you really get an advantage in life. [01:07:03] Speaker A: Yeah. You would say like, oh, why isn't Eric Trump or Tiffany Trump or Donald J? Because these guys have already shown to be trash. But this woman hiding in the shadows, pretending she's not trash, is like, that's disgusting. I would say my favorite moment was her at the World Summit. Just like, trying to talk to world leaders, and they're like, who is this bitch? [01:07:26] Speaker B: Done any handbags last week, bro? [01:07:28] Speaker A: What did she say? [01:07:29] Speaker B: What are you doing? [01:07:31] Speaker A: Like, get the fuck out of here. Anyway, those are our honorable mentions. And now for number one worst Nepo, baby. Scum of the earth. Not really scum of the earth, but just like, come on, it's going to Damon Wayne's Jr. I know. You're like, what the fuck is wrong with him? Have you seen new girl? Have you seen let's be cops? This motherfucker can't act. He is not funny, dude. No charisma, nothing behind his eyes. The same stupid face he fucking makes when he speaks. I hate this motherfucker. Because I was such a fan of. [01:08:06] Speaker B: His, they couldn't miss the Wayne's dynasty decade. [01:08:11] Speaker A: Anytime you saw Wayne's come out with something, you're like, hell, yes. And then you're like, oh, this guy. Damon Wayne's Jr. And then you saw him. Yuck, yuck. Like, come on, man. Damon Wayne's Jr. I hope this. Bro, you have everything you need. Do fucking something.

You garbage, bro. Bro, I swear to God, he's just got zero charisma. I wish he. Listen, for every single person I was dragging in this section, I have no mouths against you. I just think that you got everything you need to get everything you have to make yourself much, you know, do better. Do better, be better. [01:09:19] Speaker B: Pull a Joe Hill. You know who Joe Hill is? [01:09:22] Speaker A: I don't, but I like son. [01:09:24] Speaker B: Oh, he's a fantastic writer. He's got movies. He went. He went by his middle name because, no, he didn't want to be Joe King. And everyone's going to be like. He literally got his literary agent without telling his dad or anyone that he was Stephen King's son just because he wanted to do his own shit. His own shit's pretty fucking good. [01:09:43] Speaker A: Damon Wayne's Jr. [01:09:47] Speaker B: I didn't know that was him and the new girl. [01:09:49] Speaker A: Yeah, he's not Winston. He's coach. He's the other black guy, the one they wrote out of the series. [01:09:56] Speaker B: Okay. [01:09:56] Speaker A: He sucks. He sucks. Anyway, I don't want to leave this show on, like, a stash of haterade, but I do. [01:10:10] Speaker B: Stomping that wanes into the ground. [01:10:12] Speaker A: Yeah, I think he's garbage. I think he's a garbage man. But anyway, guys, before we leave, I want to give my hand and my heart to everybody dealing with what's going on in the Middle east right now. And brothers and sisters of mine, family, friends of mine, are hurting, and I want to let them know that I'm here. I feel for them. I'm not giving thoughts and prayers. I am speaking out. I want there to be a dissolution. I'm going to fucking blow up my congressmen. There has to be something done, and history will tell what's going on. [01:10:48] Speaker B: So you wanted to not bring it down before we. You know, I have a real hot take. I'm against killing kids on either side. Yes, that's a real hot take of mine, and I'm going to stick to it. [01:11:02] Speaker A: Oh, well, Jesus. Breaking news. [01:11:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm against murdering children anyway. [01:11:07] Speaker A: We love everybody out there. We love everyone. This is Papa don't preach. Thank you so much for tuning into us. Big shout out to Blaine Pierre, our producer, Aaron Mossadow DNA to do our music. And this is Papa don't preach. And in other news, you know, the strike just ended.
