Speaker 1: And I have something I want to talk to you
Speaker 1: guys about. I want to get your take on this.
Speaker 1: A friend of ours owns a bar, and it's not
Speaker 1: our bar, it's not a bar we're invested in. And
Speaker 1: I saw him post about this today, and so I
Speaker 1: want to bring it up to you. I see this
Speaker 1: topic on social media all the time, and I think
Speaker 1: we all might feel differently about it.
Speaker 2: I think those of us.
Speaker 1: With kids might feel differently than those of us without kids.
Speaker 1: And so when you have a local establishment, you have
Speaker 1: to think about what your policy is for letting kids
Speaker 1: run around and when they run around and where they
Speaker 1: run around, and different parents have different philosophies on how
Speaker 1: to really oversee that activity. In some situations, some parents
Speaker 1: are like, man, this is awesome. I finally get to
Speaker 1: sit down at a table, eat some caso, drink some beers,
Speaker 1: and I don't care if I see my kids for
Speaker 1: an hour.
Speaker 2: And there's others that are.
Speaker 1: Like, you're going to sit here at this table and
Speaker 1: you're not going anywhere, get on your whatever. Different people.
Speaker 1: And our friend is like trying to keep everybody happy.
Speaker 1: And so they've seen they've seen I guess they've seen
Speaker 1: a dip in business, and they've received a ton of
Speaker 1: complaints from people that go to the bar, saying, hey, man,
Speaker 1: there's kids unwatched running around and like causing havoc, like
Speaker 1: and there's no one watching them or guarding them, or.
Speaker 2: You know whatever.
Speaker 1: No one's looking out for him, and so they can
Speaker 1: do whatever they want. And so our friend was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I think we've got a solution. At one part of
Speaker 1: our restaurant where it's mainly a bar, we'll just say
Speaker 1: that after seven o'clock, if you're seventeen and under, you
Speaker 1: can't be in there. And so just in the bar, right,
Speaker 1: there's another part of the restaurant where you could go
Speaker 1: there with your kids and stay all night, but to
Speaker 1: keep trying to keep everybody happy. And man, he got
Speaker 1: killed for because kids were in there not watched. And
Speaker 1: now he's getting killed because people are like, what, I
Speaker 1: can let my kids run loose in this bar at night.
Speaker 2: I want my eight year old to sit at this
Speaker 2: bar and do what he wants.
Speaker 3: I live in America, Serve me and my kid.
Speaker 1: Right, I've seen places of business that'll do the whole. Hey,
Speaker 1: we are not babysitters. If you're not watching your kid.
Speaker 1: Please leave. Yeah, you know, and I agree with that,
Speaker 1: Like if you're the kind of person that's going to
Speaker 1: be offended that a restaurant's not going to look after
Speaker 1: you're a kid, you're a dumb ass, Go somewhere else.
Speaker 1: I can remember growing up to, Like when I started
Speaker 1: acting like a wild ass kid, I could just feel
Speaker 1: the tension rising in my dad's body and I could
Speaker 1: just feel that energy of ooh, I probably need to
Speaker 1: reel it in.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I knew that energy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure build yeah. And it's like it's
Speaker 1: like most and I'm okay, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 1: Like if if left to their own devices, kids will
Speaker 1: do all sorts of you know, they're idiots. Like I'll
Speaker 1: tell you the worst thing I did as a kid,
Speaker 1: me and some kids in our neighborhood. The neighborhood we
Speaker 1: moved into, there was still some construction right at the
Speaker 1: very end. There were some new homes being built. And
Speaker 1: so while the foundation is built and they put the
Speaker 1: initial wood up, they were putting like styrofoam between them,
Speaker 1: like for you know, the insulation or whatever between the
Speaker 1: wooden walls of that. Yeah, so we as little dumb
Speaker 1: ass kids went and played Hulk Smash and like we
Speaker 1: were knocking down all of these walls.
Speaker 2: Character was formed, right, we're just knocking down all these walls.
Speaker 1: I can't expensive it was right, But that was running
Speaker 1: loose in the neighborhood. If you're just in a bar
Speaker 1: or a restaurant. I mean I saw I ask Katie
Speaker 1: and Christina, you guys don't have kiddos. Have you guys
Speaker 1: ever been inconvenienced by kids or rely?
Speaker 4: Yeah, at a place I really like the kids they
Speaker 4: were just running around and I was like, where are
Speaker 4: their parents? And then it hit me that night. It's
Speaker 4: a pizza place. It's not Andrew's, by the way, but
Speaker 4: it hit me. It was the weather was nice for
Speaker 4: sitting outside and the kids kind of run around. But
Speaker 4: it hit me is like parents have probably gotten a
Speaker 4: little worse. Parents have probably gotten a little lazier over
Speaker 4: the years, because man, I just would have never been
Speaker 4: allowed to run around at a place like that, right,
Speaker 4: So I wouldn't have been allowed to do it.
Speaker 2: It's how It's just it comes down to how you
Speaker 2: were raised.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think from what I know about
Speaker 1: Christina's dad and what I know about I mean, I've
Speaker 1: met your dad, Rick, I knew Ben's dad really well,
Speaker 1: Ben knew my dad really.
Speaker 2: You've played golf with my dad.
Speaker 1: I think all of our parents had a similar outlook
Speaker 1: on how in general, about how you raise kids. And
Speaker 1: there's discipline and you don't like let your kids inconvenience
Speaker 1: other people. Yeah, you know, it's just kind of like
Speaker 1: how you raise Remember, parents are just older kids, and
Speaker 1: kids are idiots, So parents are just older idiots. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, And there are a lot of people that
Speaker 1: to Ben's point, it's like, well it's Sunday, I'm gonna drink.
Speaker 1: I didn't always want these kids go run somewhere, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, you you can relax, but you
Speaker 1: still have to wrangle your kids.
Speaker 5: Right, there's a time and a place, Like if you're
Speaker 5: at a bar restaurant, not the place. If it's a
Speaker 5: playground or Proro museum, sure let your kid run wild
Speaker 5: and bother everyone else there.
Speaker 2: There are restaurants that have playgrounds.
Speaker 1: To Christina's point, yeah, you know, and if that's the case,
Speaker 1: then the kids got there and they run.
Speaker 3: That's where I was at. Was at uh, I'll say it.
Speaker 2: I don't care.
Speaker 3: Is that is that fortunate?
Speaker 4: I was going to say, I bet you're at fortunes
Speaker 4: at the outside place, and I was.
Speaker 3: I did notice, And we were with people who have
Speaker 3: kids too. I did notice that. I think I'm the.
Speaker 4: Only one whose anxiety is getting triggered a little bit
Speaker 4: by like three eight year olds just running and it
Speaker 4: just like, yeah, I was like, maybe it's a me thing.
Speaker 4: The kids who had they it wasn't their kids either.
Speaker 4: I mean, these were strangers. They didn't bring their kids.
Speaker 4: But I was like, they're probably just used to it,
Speaker 4: and maybe Rocks didn't care. But I was sitting there going, okay,
Speaker 4: like we're getting a little close to waiters running by
Speaker 4: with the hot pizza. We're getting a little close to
Speaker 4: chaos here. Yeah, and I would like for it to stop.
Speaker 4: But what do you do?
Speaker 2: Do you insert yourself into the situation?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Hell no, see I will I don't mind doing that.
Speaker 1: I'll say hey, hey, hey, guys, calm down. You know,
Speaker 1: where are your parents right now?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 5: But but yeah, I don't want it.
Speaker 1: That's the way we were raised, honestly, Like you know,
Speaker 1: my dad when he was when I was real young.
Speaker 1: My dad was a coach, so my dad was used
Speaker 1: to talking to young people and getting them to He
Speaker 1: wasn't a big jerk or anything. But to Ben's point,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, oh, you're not supposed to be
Speaker 1: doing that.
Speaker 2: I'm going to be an adult here.
Speaker 1: But now we're in the day and age, it's like,
Speaker 1: did you disrespect my kid?
Speaker 3: Don't tail what to do? Don't you tell my boy not?
Speaker 3: Did you tell me?
Speaker 2: All right, I'll tell you another thing.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you another thing that drives me nuts of Okay,
Speaker 1: So this is what I've noted. And this doesn't have
Speaker 1: to do with the restaurants, but in my neighborhood there's
Speaker 1: now so many kids riding electric scooters.
Speaker 2: M oh the East scooter.
Speaker 3: We had a death over the weekend on an East scooter.
Speaker 2: It doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 1: They are so fast, and I don't I think there's
Speaker 1: something to it, Like when you're a kid and you're
Speaker 1: riding your bike super fast. You know you're riding it
Speaker 1: super fast because you're peddling as hard as you can.
Speaker 1: But they're something about just hitting a button on a scoo.
Speaker 1: And so I pulled into my neighborhood on Friday night,
Speaker 1: and I took a left onto like my main street,
Speaker 1: and then I'm about to take a right onto my
Speaker 1: cul de sac and three kids are crossing right in
Speaker 1: front of me, going from one side of the street
Speaker 1: to the other, and none of them are looking. So
Speaker 1: they crossed in front of me and I had to
Speaker 1: slow down to not hit them. And they're all three
Speaker 1: on electric scooters and not one of them looked. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are we doing? And you know, they
Speaker 1: ride scooters on roads where the speed limits forty five? Right,
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? But you know, but I
Speaker 1: do know. I have friends who have kids and they
Speaker 1: know what they're doing, and they ride with a helmet
Speaker 1: and they're super careful. But I also see them out
Speaker 1: there pretty damn reckless, get I mean, And it's really
Speaker 1: that whole thing of like I was thinking about this too,
Speaker 1: about like, you know, inserting yourself in a situation where
Speaker 1: kids are also taught not to stock strangers. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: and so there's that dynamic. But I mean, we would
Speaker 1: tell our kids over and over, don't do this, don't
Speaker 1: do this, don't do this, and then they get out
Speaker 1: in the world and they do whatever they want. They're oblivious,
Speaker 1: and so it's just like, but you also, I don't
Speaker 1: think you can live your life terrified of everything.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a fine line of like what are
Speaker 1: you going to let your kids do? And you know
Speaker 1: it's the it's the Ben Stiller character in Royal Tenenboms. Yes, no, no, exactly.
Speaker 1: I am kind of like that. I was thinking about it.
Speaker 1: I have a friend, a dear friend, who was paralyzed
Speaker 1: while skiing with the last couple months, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, you're like, okay, you know how dangerous is
Speaker 1: to go skiing. I mean, I'm terrified of skiing, right,
Speaker 1: I can't stop. It's a hard, cold rock. You could
Speaker 1: run into anything. And I'm like, but you you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a numbers game, just like swimming in the ocean.
Speaker 2: I'm terrified of swimming in the ocean.
Speaker 1: It's probably not likely that a shark is going to
Speaker 1: bite off your torso, but it's possible. We've had a
Speaker 1: listener that had a shark bite off their arms. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: that happened, or her hand or whatever it was.
Speaker 2: You're right that I got a lot of that Ben
Speaker 2: Stiller character in me. Yeah, but that's the whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's like, are you going to live life being you know,
Speaker 1: being obsessive about the consequences, bad consequences or are you
Speaker 1: going to be the persons like Las Fair and then
Speaker 1: suddenly you have to deal with the consequences right, and
Speaker 1: then you have all this regret. I mean, there's just
Speaker 1: there's no easy answers on any of this. And I
Speaker 1: would recommend to both of you guys do not have kids. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, just don't. You're having so much fun. You
Speaker 1: guys are living a good life. Don't ruin it with kids.
Speaker 4: It feels like it would shut down everything, just even
Speaker 4: a dog, because she wants a dog really bad.
Speaker 3: And it's kind of like, don't.
Speaker 4: Do it, Okay, I mean we could get we could
Speaker 4: do the dog thing, but like, okay, well we've got
Speaker 4: a concert in a.
Speaker 2: Couple of weeks. Well we know what you do.
Speaker 1: We good is the dog? No, you gotta find a
Speaker 1: good first of all. A lot of people don't trust
Speaker 1: those doggy daycare places in the first place.
Speaker 2: I mean, there are some horror stories.
Speaker 1: We're lucky we have a person in our circle that
Speaker 1: will take care of the dogs when we travel how much,
Speaker 1: because oh, it's expensive.
Speaker 2: Like we pay one hundred dollars a day.
Speaker 1: It's about that, depending on how much she comes over
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And she's like a family friend.
Speaker 1: In fact, she used to like houseit when we'd leave
Speaker 1: town and stay with our kids, like it's a it's
Speaker 1: a family friend.
Speaker 2: We're real lucky that we have that.
Speaker 1: But when we go do something and we go leave
Speaker 1: town or whatever, we have to factor in that cost.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: If you know, if we're gone for three days, that's
Speaker 1: probably gonna cost you fifty to three hundred dollars for
Speaker 1: dog care.
Speaker 2: You just have to start rolling that in.
Speaker 1: And you you travel a lot to go to concerts.
Speaker 2: I used to what are you doing with all your time? Now?
Speaker 3: Hang you out man, tell yard works.
Speaker 5: I saw some weeds in our front line over the
Speaker 5: weekend and thought of you.
Speaker 3: Immediately, you call Kat to police, a week killer.
Speaker 2: You thought of Kat when you saw yard work that
Speaker 2: need to be done.
Speaker 1: And his response was the weed killer, like he's called
Speaker 1: himself that now.
Speaker 4: I thought of her when I saw Ario Speedwagon story today,
Speaker 4: Kevin Cronin has pissed a whole reunion show without him,
Speaker 4: and he's mad about it.
Speaker 1: How do you see he's the lead singer. Singer, really,
Speaker 1: how do you do Ario Speedwagon without.
Speaker 3: That little douche? I heard it from a friend. Oh,
Speaker 3: don't that.

Speaker 1: in this intro segment. You know, unlet's you have something.
Speaker 1: I do have something I want to throw out right quick? Uh,
Speaker 1: don't go to the movie theater a lot anymore. And
Speaker 1: Friday night we went to Ipick and we saw have
Speaker 1: you guys seen anything about Black Bag?
Speaker 2: Not one thing?
Speaker 3: Have you What's I pick?
Speaker 1: It's a theater like with the you know, there's not
Speaker 1: a lot around south. Is that a nice one with
Speaker 1: like the okay, waiters and leather chairs or recline and so.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 4: It's just some up North stuff, dude. You always see it.
Speaker 4: There's like an alle right, yeah, okay, basically, I mean
Speaker 4: it's just cross street from Allain. It was my mom's
Speaker 4: favorite theater, so yeah, it's pretty nice. Wait's right down
Speaker 4: the street from us.
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, we were doing the show last
Speaker 1: Friday at Boomerjacks right there off Technology and the wife
Speaker 1: was like, hey, I want to go to a nine
Speaker 1: thirty movie. I want to see Black Bag. And I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I mean I love Soderberg in general.
Speaker 1: I can't recall it.
Speaker 4: What did he do?
Speaker 1: His most famous movie is probably Ocean's eleven Traffic. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies is the Limey. He did
Speaker 1: out a site with George Clooney and Jay Like he
Speaker 1: did Contagian. Yeah, he did Contagion, which he's thinking about remaking.
Speaker 2: No, no, we already did COVID.
Speaker 1: The one of the things that he's known for, though,
Speaker 1: is being like a master of genre, Like a genre
Speaker 1: has all these things that identified as a genre, and
Speaker 1: he knows how to go play in that sandbox and
Speaker 1: just dominate that.
Speaker 6: And so this.
Speaker 1: Particular movie is a mixture mixture of espionage thriller with
Speaker 1: a who done it, And it's got Michael Fastbender and
Speaker 1: it's got Kate Blanchett, so it's it's British espionage, okay.
Speaker 1: And this movie is ninety minutes long, and so it's
Speaker 1: really incredibly paced. It's got tons going on, Like you're
Speaker 1: halfway into going, Okay, I think I have this figured out.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot. It's stylish as hell. The music
Speaker 1: is cool. I mean, it's just coming at your baby.
Speaker 1: It's great. And I was like, if I go to
Speaker 1: the movies, I want this. I don't go that often,
Speaker 1: but if you can get me to a ninety minute
Speaker 1: movie in which there's not a wasted shot in the movie.
Speaker 1: It's stylish, it moves, it's great, and I leave and
Speaker 1: I guess it's got a big old smile on my face.
Speaker 1: That is worth going to a movie theater and paying
Speaker 1: forty six dollars for two sodas, popcorn and a box
Speaker 1: of M and ms.
Speaker 3: Get this.
Speaker 4: Critics ninety six percent on Rotten Tomatoes, audience seventy percent.
Speaker 1: The thing I Trish told me that. My wife told
Speaker 1: me that, and my thought on it was that maybe
Speaker 1: it's too British for them.
Speaker 3: Ohka British. But and my wife, as you like, I.
Speaker 2: Hate any movie with someone that has a British accent.
Speaker 2: It's kind of her go to. It's a weird choice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it She even liked it. But I could see
Speaker 2: people feeling like it was too British. How many dogs
Speaker 2: do you give it?
Speaker 3: I gave it?
Speaker 2: How many? What's what's the dumb scale? Five dogs is
Speaker 2: the most?
Speaker 3: I give it?
Speaker 2: A Peter North. Okay, there it is. That's one raging,
Speaker 2: a raging one, one bigger great review. All right?
Speaker 1: Coming up next, Speaking of Hollywood man, there is a
Speaker 1: country music artist that Kat has in his crosshairs.
Speaker 2: His guy.
Speaker 1: It's his guy, but he's upset he was humiliated by
Speaker 1: his hero. We'll discuss next. Before we get to that,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the greatness of prosper Forward
