Speaker 1: A title that I had to choose that would not
Speaker 1: get me kicked off of YouTube out I'm like, how
Speaker 1: can I tell this episode? I had some ideas like
Speaker 1: childhood spankings, and I can't. It's like, no, I don't
Speaker 1: get this off on YouTube, So I gotta be careful
Speaker 1: to say being raised in nineteen seventies. Hi, I'm James
Speaker 1: Lott Junior's jamt this evening, and this is something that
Speaker 1: is not bumping raised in the seventies, not really, but
Speaker 1: it's more about a type of being raised some of
Speaker 1: us who were a children of a certain era. And
Speaker 1: I found this. This was my great grandmother's it's a paddle,
Speaker 1: it's it's my what my cousin's got it for. And
Speaker 1: it's kind of like it's a joke thing like this
Speaker 1: we got. He got this for after he grew up,
Speaker 1: and I was just kind of like, look, got it funny?
Speaker 1: Am I gonna ask? Okay, I'm showing now. But she
Speaker 1: used to switch. She used to get the switch and
Speaker 1: in spank us, we were bad. I can spankings various
Speaker 1: adults when I was younger in the in the seventies,
Speaker 1: and we had a corporal punishment at school because don't
Speaker 1: know if we are that you can sign a paper,
Speaker 1: but they can spank you. My mother never signed. She
Speaker 1: was like, I'll come call me, I'll come down. I'll
Speaker 1: be deserves so to speak. I mean, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: saying that that was the language, but not she didn't
Speaker 1: beat our ass. Actually, my mother used to hit us.
Speaker 1: It was always kind of comical, right, there's like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like you know my father, my father
Speaker 1: did some stuff. There was like great, but my mother
Speaker 1: was kind of comical when you thought about it. But
Speaker 1: that whole thing about spanking, and with that it's been
Speaker 1: shows made about it. Things are stuff now and how
Speaker 1: it doesn't translate today for most people for the next
Speaker 1: generations are like, no, we don't do spanking at all.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on it? Folks. I can have
Speaker 1: a wide range people who watched these shows and watch
Speaker 1: my network. I have a huge demographic. So you tell
Speaker 1: me what you think about, what your thoughts are on spanking. Now,
Speaker 1: what's funny of me is yes, hide is never the answer.
Speaker 1: As a parent, though, I do understand when a child
Speaker 1: really gets you riled up. And yes, there are there
Speaker 1: are parenting looks out there telling how not to get
Speaker 1: riled up and how to you know, But we're talking
Speaker 1: to humans, human nature, your personality, their personality. Are you
Speaker 1: tired when they come at you a certain way? Are
Speaker 1: you exhausted? They commandity collect you a certain way? Is
Speaker 1: the way is to trigger you? And they say something
Speaker 1: a certain way, You're like, wait a minute. But there's
Speaker 1: a lot that we didn't consider back in the day.
Speaker 1: And it's like they're just it was adults, kids, kids
Speaker 1: have no feelings. Nothing. Then at some point some may
Speaker 1: say we went too much into kids feelings. Some may
Speaker 1: say I always will say it's a situation because because
Speaker 1: kids are people too, which was a show back in
Speaker 1: the day. So what does that mean now? I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: well those of us who've got spanked, I mean my
Speaker 1: girandther from South it was like get a switch, so
Speaker 1: your little tree branch out there and and and you
Speaker 1: couple of hits. I look back, and maybe maybe I'm romanticizing.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I feel like we were pretty
Speaker 1: much good kids for the most part. Like dicuep us
Speaker 1: in line, we had rules, we had regulations, the threat
Speaker 1: of violence, the belt or whatever. It reallydiculous and many
Speaker 1: of us in line, and and for many of us
Speaker 1: it taught us not to do that again. I don't
Speaker 1: know we obviously I don't. I don't know. If we
Speaker 1: hadn't gotten spanked, we still try the same way. There's
Speaker 1: no way I no wing now. Now that's obviously too late.
Speaker 1: I don't know that. But it's one of those things, right,
Speaker 1: It's like, well, if he hadn't done that, we get
Speaker 1: the same results. It goes into when I was a
Speaker 1: kid and the whole It takes a village mentality to
Speaker 1: raise people. When I was a kid, any adult was
Speaker 1: in charge, you're a man. If there was area you
Speaker 1: couldn't say, you're not my mother, you used to get popped,
Speaker 1: get popped by them, and then by your mother, who
Speaker 1: said that person was in charge. I mean, it's like
Speaker 1: I just I it was if any adult spoke to you,
Speaker 1: you showed respect, do matter who you belong to. And
Speaker 1: so I sometimes feel in some areas here in America
Speaker 1: that's gone. I know there are some areas that still
Speaker 1: have it. I say, miss Helen, Miss Susan, mister so
Speaker 1: and so. Now I still say that with my elders,
Speaker 1: or if I don't know their last name mister Sons
Speaker 1: was to Collins this that if I don't know them,
Speaker 1: it's a sign of respect. I just I've always been
Speaker 1: taught to respect elders. And I wonder if those spankings,
Speaker 1: those timeouts, those you know, did that help me become
Speaker 1: this gentleman of sorts or is it all just hogwash?
Speaker 1: We won't know because it's too lated me. It's already
Speaker 1: happened to us. And yes, and I did. I've never
Speaker 1: beat my daughters. Now. I have spanked with my daughters once.
Speaker 1: Didn't feel good, and it was a long time. I
Speaker 1: didn't feel good. She was little, she was she was
Speaker 1: really being a pill. But I never had to spank
Speaker 1: her again. Did it one time? That's it? Now? Was
Speaker 1: that great? May not? It was the early nineties, so
Speaker 1: that was still kind of happening. Then it was a
Speaker 1: whole different culture. And but my grandkids don't think of
Speaker 1: urban spinked the same. And I don't speak my guy.
Speaker 1: I would never speak my grandkids. I mean, that'say, that's
Speaker 1: not my They're not my children. So it's kind of funny.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, I was raised by grandparents partially,
Speaker 1: But now I would never touch my grandkids I mean
Speaker 1: said that's I would say, here's your parents, deal with them. Now,
Speaker 1: I may have a startin talking to you. And you see,
Speaker 1: see a lot of times I just deep voice. So
Speaker 1: a lot of times my deep voice scares people and
Speaker 1: serious kids. So I could just just get serious for
Speaker 1: my face and speak and my voice drops when I'm
Speaker 1: even more upset it gae's it deeper. So a lot
Speaker 1: oftimes it's all takes from me and then I'm done.
Speaker 1: I mean, We're there, good, We're good to go. I
Speaker 1: was anything else. But for those of you guys don't
Speaker 1: have deep voices or have that kind of thing, I mean,
Speaker 1: you have to figure out something right. And our children
Speaker 1: are so important, right they're they're they're the now. They're
Speaker 1: I'm saying in the future, they're the now how they ray
Speaker 1: are raised and how they move up in life in
Speaker 1: terms of kind of adults they're gonna be. I actually
Speaker 1: feel like I probably coddled my my children too much
Speaker 1: a little bit because I want them to have because
Speaker 1: I want them not to have the childhood I am
Speaker 1: anyways rights, I want them to have the opposite. That's funny.
Speaker 1: So I was like, so there will be no It
Speaker 1: was like we'll talk. But yes, you get time outs.
Speaker 1: Yes you're to go in your room. Yes, I mean
Speaker 1: it's that you're grounded. Oh that stuff happened all the time,
Speaker 1: that's the thing all the time. But many stuff happened.
Speaker 1: There's something wrong as a consequence, of course, share of course.
Speaker 1: But I think that's one of those things where you're like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so I don't know, it's just it's uh, most in
Speaker 1: you think about a nighttime as we're sitting here gently
Speaker 1: this evening, does I think that's one thing about things
Speaker 1: like this, Like ohm, I think to myself, but this
Speaker 1: is fifty plus. I was just like, jes this is
Speaker 1: not yours. I was just doing my jail day this evening.
Speaker 1: This is fifty plus, same difference, and they must have
Speaker 1: at a nighttime. I think about my childhood sometimes, about
Speaker 1: how I was raised, how I raised my kids, how
Speaker 1: the grandkids are being raised. You're constantly watching that, and
Speaker 1: you know, I have friends and siblings who are grandparents
Speaker 1: also or parents are adult children, and we're like we're
Speaker 1: all trying to navigate it right, We're all just like, wow,
Speaker 1: does this work? How does this work? So you know,
Speaker 1: those are all thoughts because times are different now and
Speaker 1: I would never let anybody hit my kids in terms
Speaker 1: of like corporal punishment. Oh my god, that's I'm kind
Speaker 1: of glad they stopped that. And I was just like,
Speaker 1: kind of I'm glad they stops that. That's like, you know,
Speaker 1: we're not doing all that. Let the parents come in
Speaker 1: and take responsibility to parents that are involved. Let them
Speaker 1: be involved in every level. That's what I say there.
Speaker 1: I'll say that James is sifty plus. Of course, I
Speaker 1: want to hear your ideas and your thoughts. I decided
Speaker 1: to have a video because I want to show the paddle.
Speaker 1: I want to show the paddle, but we're also audio.
Speaker 1: Of course, we're out on Tuesdays, So every Tuesday and
Speaker 1: new episode comes out, I'll talk to you next time.
Speaker 1: What
