Speaker 1: Do you still love cooking today? Yeah? It's like, what's
Speaker 1: you What kind of thing do you like?
Speaker 2: Several? I mean I didn't. I just got into it
Speaker 2: maybe ten years ago or something.
Speaker 1: Okay, so before that not really. So what we're talking
Speaker 1: about is that they did a survey or a study
Speaker 1: in Canada.
Speaker 3: Hi, Justin oh sorry, Justin Watson comes in and he
Speaker 3: talks with them introduction.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got I. Do you do a couple of weekends?
Speaker 1: Shows that you think you're in the big leagues? Evidently
Speaker 1: a little big bridge this year.
Speaker 2: You don't even have working head funds. What are you
Speaker 2: talking about?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 1: Fun fact I'm filling in for him on vacation. No
Speaker 1: I am not give it.
Speaker 2: Give it a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh, that would be horrible. He's so awful for so
Speaker 1: many people, mostly me anyway. So they did this study
Speaker 1: that found that cooking is one of the things, as
Speaker 1: like an aptitude for life skills, is one of the
Speaker 1: things that a child does not pick up from just watching,
Speaker 1: Like you can't just set an example for cooking. Now.
Speaker 1: What's interesting is I have seen other research that would
Speaker 1: support that for eating habits like kids do pay attention
Speaker 1: to what choices you make when you're choosing food to eat.
Speaker 1: So if you choose less healthy foods, they will follow suit.
Speaker 1: But they don't learn how to cook from just watching.
Speaker 1: They have to actually participate in it. They have to
Speaker 1: do the thing. And that's why I'm a big fan
Speaker 1: of like having like one night a week, especially over
Speaker 1: the summer, because my kids will tend to just hang
Speaker 1: out in their rooms a lot over the summer. So
Speaker 1: at least one night a week I make them cook dinner.
Speaker 1: They're not kind of supervised. They still have doors. They
Speaker 1: do have doors so far, well, some of them have
Speaker 1: gotten close to losing them.
Speaker 2: But is this a thing? How generational is it?
Speaker 1: Do you think?
Speaker 3: I mean, did you did you watch your parents cook?
Speaker 2: Or I mean, pay any attention to what I was?
Speaker 1: I was just talking about this with my kids about
Speaker 1: how much of a colossal a hole I was as
Speaker 1: a child. When my stepmom would clear like she would
Speaker 1: make the food, we would come in and sit down,
Speaker 1: we would eat the food, and we would just get
Speaker 1: up and leave.
Speaker 2: How old were you when your stepmom she.
Speaker 1: Came into the picture when I was six? Okay, so
Speaker 1: I stayed there until I was eighteen. I moved out
Speaker 1: a few months before I turned nineteen. That's when I
Speaker 1: moved out of my parents' house six months after I graduated.
Speaker 4: I think every kid gets to the kitchen table, fakes
Speaker 4: their way through the family dinner, and then high tails
Speaker 4: it back to the room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's just America.
Speaker 1: But we didn't even like take our dishes to the sink.
Speaker 1: It's part of my point, like there was no chores
Speaker 1: in that way of doing dishes. Was there an expectation
Speaker 1: of it and you just didn't do it or there
Speaker 1: was just no expectation, no expectation, Like I got it
Speaker 1: on my own and I didn't. Really I totally agree,
Speaker 1: but but it's funny like as soon as I moved out,
Speaker 1: it took me all of a month living on my own,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my gosh, I'm a jerk,
Speaker 1: Like this is not okay. And again, not to speak
Speaker 1: ill of my father, rested peace Pops, but like in
Speaker 1: that way, he was very chauvinist. Like I know I've
Speaker 1: told the story on the show before where I was.
Speaker 1: He told me when I was like five or six,
Speaker 1: because I wanted something. It's like sounds like you need
Speaker 1: a job. And I was campaigning, and one of the
Speaker 1: things I offered to do, weirdly enough, was dishes. And
Speaker 1: he's like, I got your mom to do the dishes.
Speaker 1: You gotta find a job that I.
Speaker 2: Already not not wrong, not wrong.
Speaker 1: Not wrong. My mom hated using the dishwasher too. It
Speaker 1: was more used for like pot storage, than ever to
Speaker 1: clean anything. She liked doing everything by hand, still to
Speaker 1: this day, does not have a dishwasher in her house.
Speaker 4: Well, it doesn't make sense sometimes to use the dishwasher
Speaker 4: when you can just wash it by hand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but a whole family. You got a family of
Speaker 1: four that just had dinner that you prepared everything.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean yeah, I mean I like, I'll put
Speaker 4: the plates in the dishwasher. But in terms of all
Speaker 4: the stuff I used to make dinner, you clean that
Speaker 4: as you go my hand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I guess that makes sense. I do, I
Speaker 1: do pretty much except for pots. I will I will
Speaker 1: hand wash a pot. This can't be interesting for anyone.
Speaker 2: Were like one quarter like five?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Well the way to a skillet, I'll
Speaker 1: wash the skillet.
Speaker 4: Talk to me about your skillet. What kind of skillet
Speaker 4: do you have?
Speaker 1: I have? I have multiple skillets because my son to
Speaker 1: kind of what why this maybe stood stood out to
Speaker 1: me as my son loves to cook and he is
Speaker 1: he lectures us. I'm already blanking on it. He would
Speaker 1: slap me across the face if I allowed it. There's
Speaker 1: a word that starts with M that in the in
Speaker 1: the cooking world, it's like getting a little char Yes.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we have a whole thing about that.
Speaker 1: You said that like it came up. You looked like
Speaker 1: we had a whole session about his love of mayard.
Speaker 3: You told doctor McGillicutty you would never bring it up again.
Speaker 1: That was really fun for me to be in the
Speaker 1: room for.
Speaker 2: I don't remember exactly what it is.
Speaker 1: Well, your emotions are remember, because you seem very unhappy.
Speaker 1: I feel like we.
Speaker 4: Need to explain it because I don't even know what
Speaker 4: it is. Well, why was it a thing? Why are
Speaker 4: you shaking your head and not using your word?
Speaker 1: Is it dirty?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Dirty? How can they are dirty? I don't know? Anyway,
Speaker 1: he likes high heat, which has a tendency to ruin
Speaker 1: nonstiff hands. If anybody who has a discoverable at home.
Speaker 1: So he was like he was new to cooking and
Speaker 1: I let him just do whatever he wants in the
Speaker 1: kitchen so he can learn. And he's tore up so
Speaker 1: many skillets in my house, and so now I'm like,
Speaker 1: you can only use the cast iron skillet that is
Speaker 1: only that is the only thing you were allowed to
Speaker 1: cook on because he made me buy a stainless steel one,
Speaker 1: and even that one, it's like if everything sticks to
Speaker 1: it and it's just awful, and then he doesn't always
Speaker 1: clean it, which drives me nuts.
Speaker 2: That's the thing with those cast iron you got to be.
Speaker 2: Cast iron is pretty bulletproof.
Speaker 3: I mean you could screw it up and then clean it, receipt,
Speaker 3: reseason it, and it's very much back. It's those non
Speaker 3: sticks that once you break that surface or it's over,
Speaker 3: it's yeah, trust me. I have not mentioned the incredible
Speaker 3: amount of whatever that is made with is now.
Speaker 2: In your food. Can't do Yeah, it's made.
Speaker 1: With a bunch of I tried to explain that to
Speaker 1: my son, but he's sixteen, and so all of the words.
Speaker 2: You believe he's sixteen, isn't it crazy?
Speaker 1: He's seventeen and a few shocking he told me recently.
Speaker 1: He told me this yesterday, and I like, looked at
Speaker 1: him like, you idiot.
Speaker 4: Know.
Speaker 1: He was like, Dad, I have basically like two more
Speaker 1: years of school. And I was like what, No, what
Speaker 1: are you talking?
Speaker 2: And then I was like, oh, he's shocked by this development.
Speaker 1: And this is again I say this. I said this
Speaker 1: about being teenagers. So far it worked out middle school,
Speaker 1: middle school. I hate. I hate being a parent of
Speaker 1: a middle school kid. Teenagers have not been bad so far,
Speaker 1: other than if once you get used to desensitized to
Speaker 1: the not listening. But now I'm really finding myself getting excited. Guys.
Speaker 1: I'm getting excited about like adult children, really stoked for
Speaker 1: when they get to like graduate high school are a
Speaker 1: living starts in my mind.
Speaker 4: Your kids to find their wife the way you found
Speaker 4: your wife.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no idea. How much you have you have
Speaker 1: struck a chord And there there's a there's been many
Speaker 1: a late at night pillow conversation between my wife and
Speaker 1: I where there's there's romance on the horizon for my
Speaker 1: older son with a young lady that her family is great.
Speaker 1: She's a very like just level headed young lady. And
Speaker 1: so I'm very I'm very excited about this, and I've
Speaker 1: been planning the wedding pretty much. I've never done this,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong.
Speaker 4: What has your son said about this? Wait, let's do
Speaker 4: it after the break. I'm dying.
Speaker 3: Justin Warshon was Johnny. So we're talking about parenting, let's
Speaker 3: discuss this. This is you already planning your kid's wedding.
Speaker 1: So there's a story behind it in that when my
Speaker 1: high school drama group was doing School of Rock and
Speaker 1: we were touring to like elementary schools and doing the
Speaker 1: show when you were when I was in high school,
Speaker 1: and after Natalie and I got together and we were
Speaker 1: going to get married, each of our parents said to
Speaker 1: us separately. My father said, you know what's funny. When
Speaker 1: you guys were doing that School of Rock. I noticed
Speaker 1: Natalie and I was like, she seems like a nice girl.
Speaker 1: That would be a good fit for Justin. And then
Speaker 1: Natalie's mom saw me, but her impression to me was like,
Speaker 1: he looks so sad and lonely. You bet that was
Speaker 1: your move?
Speaker 2: Uh, depressed kid?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just just.
Speaker 2: Cheer me up.
Speaker 1: So anyway, so there was there's this girl that uh
Speaker 1: my son uh is in choir with and uh they
Speaker 1: they had a moment where they were partnered together a
Speaker 1: while ago, and I was like, it seems like a nice,
Speaker 1: like level headed girl, but I don't want to get involved.
Speaker 1: I purposely of like whatever, you know, I never said
Speaker 1: anything to him.
Speaker 2: You're not going to steer him towards her.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, until he said that there might
Speaker 1: be mutual interest between the two parties.
Speaker 2: And how he said it.
Speaker 1: No, he said, I can't. I can't do it without
Speaker 1: saying the poor young lady's name, and that's not fair
Speaker 1: to her or really whom, to be honest, call her
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm already sweating that you're going to
Speaker 1: say the exact right name.
Speaker 4: She's not, I'm not. Let's call her Valentina Valentino.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, that's good. All right? Yeah, so val he
Speaker 1: was like, hey, I think Valentina might like me, and
Speaker 1: the excitement that I had to restrain to me. And
Speaker 1: then later that night when the kids are all going
Speaker 1: to bed, and I got to tell Natalie like like
Speaker 1: we were two girls, says. I was like, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna believe this, but for a long time I've been
Speaker 1: seeing this girl. And I was like, and now, by
Speaker 1: what have it happened?
Speaker 4: I totally envisioned you and your wife having those slumber
Speaker 4: parties all the time.
Speaker 1: But she doesn't get as excited.
Speaker 3: You're books, are sitting on the couch with your pillows
Speaker 3: and you're holding them on your your little top of
Speaker 3: coffee or all.
Speaker 1: Of it's ride, except for all you're describing is my
Speaker 1: side of it.
Speaker 2: She goes full blow, dude, and she's just so, she's like,
Speaker 2: he's gonna bang around a little bit first, justin she's
Speaker 2: just got to see what he likes out there first,
Speaker 2: sitting on the other bed, scratching off.
Speaker 1: I don't have time. I've already used all my words today.
Speaker 2: Get some milk from for free from these cows. First,
Speaker 2: she's scratching.
Speaker 1: And so she literally told me at one point he
Speaker 1: doesn't differently than the rest of us, Shannon, It's okay.
Speaker 1: At one point you literally told me, she goes, you
Speaker 1: have to calm down with this because you can't come
Speaker 1: into hot which now I make jokes about it constantly,
Speaker 1: like and I even said to him, I was like,
Speaker 1: because he has a rule that he can't have people
Speaker 1: ride with other kids ride with him unless I've had
Speaker 1: a conversation with the parents. And so I was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: do you want me to reach out to her parents
Speaker 1: so that you can ask her out? And he was like,
Speaker 1: I think it's a little soon for that. I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: I have to make some calls to cancel venues in
Speaker 1: the next eight years. Oh my god, I might have
Speaker 1: jumped the gun on this man. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Do you like the idea of an outdoor wedding?
Speaker 4: So where are we at? We think there's mutual interests.
Speaker 1: There's definitely mutual interest and we're waiting.
Speaker 2: For texting going on.
Speaker 1: Oh, definitely lots of texting. Lots of texting that's happening.
Speaker 1: And I am again, both of my sons have the nicest,
Speaker 1: sweetest young ladies that they one has got a girlfriend.
Speaker 1: The younger one's got a girlfriend and she's she's very kind.
Speaker 1: I want him to go have dates with her, but
Speaker 1: I'm trying to not like he's fourteen. He's thirteen, all right,
Speaker 1: but he's been on other dates with other girls where
Speaker 1: we picked him up and then he opens the door
Speaker 1: for her and then they go sit at like a
Speaker 1: separate table at a diner and have their own little.
Speaker 3: Thing like, oh my god, helicopter parent for a second,
Speaker 3: I just need to talk to Shan for a second.
Speaker 2: Turn off your headphones and everything. Should we do?
Speaker 3: You think we should intercept the text messages between Justin
Speaker 3: and his kids, just to temper Justin's reaction to his kids, Like, hey, guys, uh,
Speaker 3: just you know what I'm saying, like, maybe they should
Speaker 3: come to us before they go.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to learn kids speak like you know,
Speaker 2: Finn and the you know, wait, what is that right? Justin? Okay, Justin,
Speaker 2: you can come back?
Speaker 1: Okay back, So you guys are as excited as I am.
Speaker 1: Right kind of Oh man, I.
Speaker 4: Feel like you're like ruining your kid's game, probably by
Speaker 4: just having this vibe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like here's the thing.
Speaker 3: Well you listen, I think you could puddle pull it
Speaker 3: off where you're like whatever, yeah, dad.
Speaker 2: Do that?
Speaker 1: Normal?
Speaker 2: What do you just did?
Speaker 1: Do that?
Speaker 2: And I can't try it?
Speaker 1: Whatever?
Speaker 2: Whatever, and listen. You know her name?
Speaker 3: This is also this is also a step far beyond
Speaker 3: anything I had this early on in my kid's relationships
Speaker 3: with anybody which was name.
Speaker 1: I know her.
Speaker 2: I didn't bother with the space.
Speaker 4: You know, just norm Justin's a woman, probably girl's social
Speaker 4: security number. He's like me track he had a first
Speaker 4: name and found out everything about this girl within six seconds, just.
Speaker 2: The last four exactly. It's a brilliant one.
Speaker 1: Listen again, I know there are lots of things.
Speaker 2: Have you bought them a home? Yet?
Speaker 1: If I had the down I did make that joke,
Speaker 1: though joke. He gets it. He knows me well enough
Speaker 1: to know. Boy, there are very few things in my
Speaker 1: relationship with my sons and even my family, and like
Speaker 1: so much of their life has been me being the
Speaker 1: like authoritarian person of like this is how it's gonna go.
Speaker 1: We're going to bed at this time, and I don't
Speaker 1: know what it is about.
Speaker 2: While you're holding a pillow on your lap, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 4: So have you have you had a conversation about sex?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I we talked about that a couple of times.
Speaker 1: I feel like what I've decided with my sons is
Speaker 1: I told them that all of the various items or
Speaker 1: I call what I call them bedroom bucket list items,
Speaker 1: I go, you could check that off after you hit
Speaker 1: twenty five or when you're married. Right, this is not
Speaker 1: the time I go right now, at this age. I
Speaker 1: said I would encourage you, not because I'm spiritual, but
Speaker 1: just because I think it's just better. Honestly, is that,
Speaker 1: I said. I understand the curiosity. I said, I would
Speaker 1: encourage you to wait until you get married, because I
Speaker 1: think that the stronger connection you have with that person,
Speaker 1: the better the experiences. I said, but I understand that
Speaker 1: there can be some excitement with like a fleing kind
Speaker 1: of thing. I know it's not something I've ever experienced,
Speaker 1: but I was like, I get that too, I said,
Speaker 1: but the big thing for me, you have to be
Speaker 1: a gentleman, and the girl drives the boat, so she
Speaker 1: decides what is okay and what isn't. And that every
Speaker 1: time I've said this to both my sons, every time
Speaker 1: they decide to level up the experience. For lack of
Speaker 1: a better way of putting it, I go, I think
Speaker 1: it's important that you say, hey, like I'm this is
Speaker 1: good for me. I'm cool with this, but we don't
Speaker 1: have to do this so that you like me like
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't need this for me to like
Speaker 1: you back, because I feel like young ladies. And I
Speaker 1: know I'm being wildly chauvinistic and sexist, but they're my kids,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna do it. I feel like girls in
Speaker 1: their teenage years, they start to if they have feelings
Speaker 1: for a boy, they feel this pressure to feel like,
Speaker 1: these are the things I have to do because he's
Speaker 1: a nice guy and I don't want to lose him.
Speaker 3: The girls give the sex to get the love. The
Speaker 3: guys give the love to get the sacks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and I don't. I just so and so
Speaker 1: far it's worked, like I but both of my I
Speaker 1: was a little worried about the younger one, but as
Speaker 1: he's grown up, he's he's so sweet and so giving,
Speaker 1: like with all of the relationships he's had. He likes
Speaker 1: to give him a little. He just wants to love
Speaker 1: both of them, like and they're they're not overly. They
Speaker 1: don't make out or they're not like overly if well,
Speaker 1: my old or something there was there was a comforter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. He likes to cuddle like his
Speaker 1: old man.
Speaker 2: But that's that was awful. It's for him and me
Speaker 2: justin thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Stick around At the top of the made.
Speaker 2: Talk trending my son ever heard of God?
Speaker 4: Like I know, like, oh God, it was awful, so bad.
Speaker 2: I'm still not over it.
Speaker 3: Harley riding down the street and never coming back, and
Speaker 3: Joseph had a pretty good run.
Speaker 1: Sunday No.
