Speaker 3: time to do a deep dot.
Speaker 2: I am the reigning baseball champion of the Nolan Ryane Cup.
Speaker 3: Is right, I'll have you know how many of those
Speaker 3: do you have you racked up?

Speaker 2: So they're serving up food here. The sumo wrestlers are
Speaker 2: in the house. Are getting loose. Uh they're out there
Speaker 2: practicing and stuff loose? Do they get really pretty loose?
Speaker 2: The tent is set up, they're drinking beer. They got
Speaker 2: the mawashe's on right, Yep, that what they're called. And
Speaker 2: so they're they're ready for a big tournament. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be awesome, But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 1: He's interrational, quick trigger, nuclear overreactor. He's a masterful storyteller
Speaker 1: who consistently finds himself drowning in a sea of awkward.
Speaker 1: It's time for no trundin in Ben.
Speaker 2: So, I'm to the point now with my kids where
Speaker 2: I don't like being a parent. Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 2: never liked being a parent. I mean, we had one
Speaker 2: really good one who made it easy. But now he's
Speaker 2: at college and it's like, oh, yeah, these are the
Speaker 2: other ones.
Speaker 4: Don't you know that when you when you hit the mountaintop,
Speaker 4: that's when you call it quits. All right, you guys
Speaker 4: kept cranking out kids.
Speaker 2: I know what happened is our middle son was not
Speaker 2: like super affectionate and.
Speaker 4: Huggy, uh huh, And so Dot said, this one's getting
Speaker 4: too big to cuddle.
Speaker 2: Exactly, and so we're like, let's have one more. Anyways,
Speaker 2: We're so glad we did. And we got three awesome kids.
Speaker 2: And my youngest is fourteen. I got two older boys
Speaker 2: and a younger daughter. She's fourteen, and it's really cool
Speaker 2: because she loves basketball, uh huh. The thing she's most
Speaker 2: passionate about is the thing I'm most passionate about. Like,
Speaker 2: we both are in love with the game of basketball,
Speaker 2: but I can't talk to her about it. Why because
Speaker 2: she wants to know a part of it. She knows
Speaker 2: that you don't really talk hoop that good. She will
Speaker 2: come watch me play in my basketball games, and she'll
Speaker 2: come with me, she'll spend time with me in the
Speaker 2: gym and stuff. But I can't talk to her about
Speaker 2: anything why because it's one word answers, why is your
Speaker 2: day good?
Speaker 3: Why are you yelling at her so much?
Speaker 1: Not?
Speaker 3: And I just can't talk to her about it. There's nothing.
Speaker 3: And so anyways, it's a weird dynamic.
Speaker 2: She you know, she's pretty much always in a little
Speaker 2: bit of a bad mood yep around her parents and
Speaker 2: really short answers and just like in and out of
Speaker 2: the door, and we're just kind of in the way.
Speaker 2: She feels like, you guys don't offer that much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she definitely feels like we don't offer that much. But
Speaker 2: I am not concerned by this. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: be threatened by this because I don't care about being
Speaker 2: my kids friends.
Speaker 3: Uh huh. I don't I want a mission to be
Speaker 3: their best friend.
Speaker 2: Because I want to be the adult. I want to have,
Speaker 2: you know, some discipline. I want to have some actual supervision.
Speaker 2: And so there are parents in the mix here around
Speaker 2: in these social circles who say yes to every damn thing, right,
Speaker 2: like we're going to deep out them Saturday night.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what why?
Speaker 4: It depends on what the show is. Are they going
Speaker 4: to LCD sound system?
Speaker 3: And I'm just like, dude, no, that's not cool.
Speaker 2: And so some kids I see this all the time
Speaker 2: driving through my neighborhood.
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, is Grace fourteen? Now, yeah, she's fourteen, Okay.
Speaker 2: And so we had a golf cart for a while,
Speaker 2: and it was fun because it's kind of a golf
Speaker 2: cart community. You can drive your golf cart around and
Speaker 2: my wife would take the kids to school and the
Speaker 2: golf cart and that's a pretty cool thing. And so
Speaker 2: you make a little trips around the neighborhood. Then once
Speaker 2: they all wanted to drive it, it got real scary, yeah,
Speaker 2: because you could flip.
Speaker 3: Them really easily, super easy. And the boy, they just
Speaker 3: take turns real fast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're not you know, they're out there driving
Speaker 2: and speed limits that are like forty five yeah, and
Speaker 2: a golf cart and it's not even legal other thing,
Speaker 2: and so are they rock and see, because you had
Speaker 2: that really expensive Oklahoma state golf cart. So I got
Speaker 2: rid of that. I got rid of that golf cart.
Speaker 2: When she started begging to drive it all the time.
Speaker 2: My wife was not putting up a strong resistance. I
Speaker 2: was like, let's remove this from the question. So, something
Speaker 2: I've been noticing around the neighborhood lately is tiny kids
Speaker 2: riding electric motor scooters.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, yep, And I'm not cool with it.
Speaker 2: And I mean, if it's a bike, there's something about
Speaker 2: the like a kid could go one speed on a bike,
Speaker 2: but if they're doing it on an electric scooter, it's
Speaker 2: just more dangerous, I think, because you're not aware of
Speaker 2: the energy it takes to go fast or whatever. And
Speaker 2: so I'll be driving around and I'll see kids cross
Speaker 2: right in front of cars without ever looking.
Speaker 3: Right because they don't they're tiny kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, kids are dumb, and they're driving these like little
Speaker 2: electric motorcycles now.
Speaker 3: And so she wants one.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, hell no, And so the thing is
Speaker 2: morphed into her asking can I ride my friends? They
Speaker 2: only go twenty miles per hour. And I'm saying, no,
Speaker 2: am I overreacting?
Speaker 4: When does she turn fifteen December? Okay, so she's basically
Speaker 4: a year and a half away from dry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but keep in mind, like Max, my oldest pass
Speaker 2: is driving tests the first time, like he had a
Speaker 2: conversation with the instructor like, wow, would you.
Speaker 3: Like to teach here? Yeah?
Speaker 2: The second My young my middle child had to take
Speaker 2: his driver's test seventeen times. She's going to beat his record?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Really? I think maybe not? And it was weird for us.
Speaker 3: Maya didn't even learn to drive till she was eighteen.
Speaker 4: She just like didn't even didn't even care. I bet
Speaker 4: that was maybe pandemic related to you know, I think
Speaker 4: at the size she is, in the age she is,
Speaker 4: I think it's probably fine.
Speaker 2: Riding a motor scooter around light farms and forty five
Speaker 2: mile per hour speed limits.
Speaker 4: If it's what I think it is, It's kind of like,
Speaker 4: is it one of those things like a skateboard with
Speaker 4: a handlebar coming out?
Speaker 3: Okay? What is it?
Speaker 2: Looks like a cross between a bike and a motorcycle.
Speaker 2: Oh so, like I think it'll go forty Okay, I
Speaker 2: don't know the one she's particularly pushing it. I guess
Speaker 2: maybe it looks more like a bike than a motorcycle,
Speaker 2: but it's not a scooter.
Speaker 3: Like Okay, so she's not listening right now, right, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't think she wants to have anything to do
Speaker 3: with my voice.
Speaker 4: So it's basically what you and Alvarez used to drive
Speaker 4: over to my house from Apollo Junior, all the way
Speaker 4: across richards and at the same age.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, I mean I don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay, dude, one, No, that's not it. Those are those
Speaker 2: are like little scooters. These these look like more like motorcycles,
Speaker 2: all right, And you know, I just feel like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm the bad guy.
Speaker 3: Now have you seen her drive it? If she has
Speaker 3: a head injury, is in a coma, I'm like, I'll
Speaker 3: be I will regret not being the bad guy. No,
Speaker 3: I know. Let's carry this over. Okay, let's carry this over.
