you got to, you know, really put some parameters on
there and it could get a you know, a little
tricky for sure. Well, there is an issue going on
right now between Emily and her son Reed, who is

get too but it is annoying that these kids are
acting like they invented it. I mean, and it wasn't
like it was thirty years ago. It was ten years ago. Huh,
Like it feels like it's just happened.
Speaker 3 (00:58):

Ice Pocket Challenge and I'm going to nominate Eddie.

his razor, like dirt bike things he's got a beat on,
he's got oil everywhere for some reason, time La says
he's working on his Oh yeah, she's him working a
wrench basically. But anyway, that's not any of the problems
(02:37):
that we're talking about. Oh recently, we went to Hawaii
when we were on our spring break, and it was
myself and my fourteen year old son he's almost fifteen,
and then my man Robert went to Hawaii and we
had a great time. And at the end of the
trip or in the middle at some point, I put
together just a slideshow on my Instagram of a bunch
of photos that we took. Now, in one of the
(02:59):
type the days, we ended up stopping at like a
cool like fruit and you know food stand on the
side of the road.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I love that. It's cool.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
They can't just be a fruit stand. It's got to
be a cool fruit stand. It was, I mean, it's
a fruit stand that.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
She didn't say it was cute.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, it was very cute.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Cut it cute, you know, Yeah, I mean in Hawaii
there's a lot of farms.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah, I know, they're cute and cool, thank very much.
What made it even cuter and cooler, though, is that
there was this guy, this older guy, sitting in a
chair when we walked up with all kinds of parrots
sitting next to him, and parrots like exotic parrots, and
we thought it was cool. So my son and I
walked over there. And that's when this guy kind of
starts wheeling and dealing and starts I get I see
(03:43):
what he's doing here, like to take a photo. If
you take a photo with your phone, it'll be twenty bucks.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I would go a bird. I've seen birds before, dude. No,
All I.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Would do is just I would take my phone out,
snap a selfie and be like, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, so like what do you? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 6 (04:03):
That's not the spirit.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I know that lots.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
I thought she was like five bucks.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Honestly, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Laugh at the guy if he said twenty bucks for
a picture, I go what?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I felt like I was already in it.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
But then we have suckers right here that you know, well,
this is a total Sky move. Sky would give him
forty Are you sure you don't want forty?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Are you sure? Are you sure you don't want forty?
Did get to hold the parent.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So I'm going to show you guys the photo that
it's my son took.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Oh, it's like a parents. He's holding it like a baby.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, there's a lot of parent one of the parents
in him with a cradling the other ones like on
his back, like with his you know.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Like it's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I could see Emily being so over the top with
the camera. Oh my god, read and see if they talk. Yeah,
see that's get a video.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Oh yeah, he took my camera and was taking the photos.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh the parent the guy, Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
The parent guy. Yeah, anyway, he took a photo. I
thought it was a great photo, Like, I love it
my son. I think he looks adorable. You can see
his little freckles.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
He's fifteen years old. He doesn't want to be called
adorable on the radio.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
And by the way, when when the boys are that age,
nobody's adorable, Like, yeah, they're in a weird case.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
They're all in a weird face.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And I just really love this photo, like you can
remind me and my little boy got it.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It just reminded me of my little boy.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I just thought it was still he looks someone in
there okay, and said he's just told it a bird.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You're making this so much weirder than so innocent fair.
As soon as the picture was done, I'm sure they
got an argument or something and repubably through the bird
five minutes.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
But in that moment, he's your little.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Boy, mom. Can I get a snow cone? It's called
shake dicey idiot? Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, well there was an all it's five minutes after Yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It was so cool, but all okay, okay, I love
pressure moment.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Pressure like favorite photo I've seen and had of my
son in old while.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Wow because he plays baseball, you think?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Sorry, Hey, So I included it, of course in my
little like Instagram.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yea, I saw, I saw the Slies show.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And it was in there, and I posted it in
the evening one of the nights that we were still
in Hawaii. And that's when the very next morning, my
son Reid, who by the way, when I showed him
this photo ahead of time, this is important. When I
showed him this photo after the guy parrot the paric
I took it, he wasn't like crazy about it.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Well, he feels like a little boy.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
He didn't like the way he looked he thought he
looked to me though he looks silly. He didn't ve
those words, but kind of I'm assuming that's the way
he thought about the photo.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Right, Well, it's not cool, man, No it's not. I'm
not a little boy. Yeah man, I'm fifteen. I'll eat
this parrot right now out.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Okay, that's I.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Ride my bike with this parrot's And so I knew
he wasn't wild about it, but I still love it
so much that I posted on my Instagram because I
loved this photo. Thought it was a great, nicely done photo.
And so that's when the next morning, when my son
was looking through Instagram, he stumbles upon my Instagram post
and all he'll breaks loose. He comes into the bedroom
(07:11):
when I was like waking up, and he goes, Mom,
he goes, you boasted that photo. He goes, this is
the worst photo ever. I've already had two friends that
I guess follow me.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
That's that foo send it to him.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
God's joking like, look at you dork, and all kinds
of stuff. His friends just giving crap. I know, boys
just teasing other boys right, making fun of him.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And he's just.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Hold, honestly, that picture probably could have been anything, and
his friends like it could have been the coolest picture ever,
and his friends would still screensh on it, put a
mustache on it, send it to him, you know, because
that's just boy stuff.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
But if he's already sensitive.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
I don't know if they're gonna put a mustache on it,
a pirate.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
That's so boy stuff reads age.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
They'd probably draw something else.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
In Yeah, not a mustache. Seven Okay, bad documentary.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Okay, Okay, he's livid.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
He's living. Yeah, you're the parents. Oh no, he's where
is friends following you?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
By the way, I.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Don't know he's living. Uh, postman up since well, I
think it was up around like five or six pm
and then now it's like nine am, nine or ten
am the next day. I'm a hot follow guy. So
it already got like a lot of comments and likes,
and it was like great comments like I love your trip,
looks great. But no, no, no, no, so it's great. It
was getting positive, but like you know, it was just
(08:45):
a good post, I thought. And so I tell him, no,
no what because he asked me to take down the photo.
And once you post it, you can't take the photo
down by itself because it's because it's a slideshow. You
have to you would have to delete the entire thing
and then repost it, and then it's spiraled as I
(09:08):
attend to spiral. When he starts arguing with me, I said,
you know what, we get to do cool things because
Dad and I work really hard and part of my
job is social media, and we you know, like this
is all encompassed and how you get to live your
life so awesome and get our privileged to do cool,
cool things. So I put my foot down and I
said that.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
So, wow, respect your kid.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I guess not, but I think it's I think I'm
in the right.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Well hold a photo. I again, your your description is
part of the problem, you know. I mean, kid's fourteen. Yeah, listen,
I don't feel like you have to run everything by him.
But when it comes to social media, this is where
it's getting a little tricky because he's involved. He's involved now,
and he has an opinion. When you were a little kid,
(09:56):
yeah you can do whatever you want and they don't know.
But now he's at that age where friends are gonna
see it, they're gonna give them a hard time. Things
like that. You don't think it's changed now.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I think it's changed. With respect to certain things like
if it was a picture of him, maybe in his
swim trunks or something, and he didn't like the way
his body looked or something like that, Like I would
respect that and be like, that's embarrassing, But this photo,
I think there's nothing embarrasing in your opinion, in my.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Opinion, but in his opinion he disagrees.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I understand that, But I feel like I just can trumpet.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I just feel like in this one care about I mean,
I care about his feelings, but you're gonna get over it.
It's all had an embarrassing photos posted of us at
some point. It's not okay, no, But I'm.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Just saying, wow.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Well, you know how earlier we were talking about like
arguing and how you talk to your partner, and Emily
and I were on very different pages about shoving. Well
turns out complete opposite pages again because I am stunning.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I think we all know what she's about to say.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
For the last I don't know, three years, far years.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Maybe I've had a deal with my daughter that I
will not post any picture of her on social media
without her.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Approval from I. Yes, I have to have consent from her.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Were you one of those parents that gonna put the
sticker in your kid's face.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Okay, now how many cars? How many people are in
the car right now? Just rolls as possible. I mean,
so when you're your daughter was fifteen, so a couple
of years. So when she was thirteen or twelve, said
you had to get her consent.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Which she started becoming self conscious of her own identity,
as teenage kids do. That's when it kind of came
to play and we had the discussion of, like, this
is my job.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
You didn't sign up for this job.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
If I was like just reaveing them benefits of it, right, If.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
If I just like had like friends and family following me,
then this wouldn't be a thing. I'd be like, the
only people who follow me are people who know us
really well, who love us.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Do you know their family? Stop it.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
But the fact that what I do is so public,
I have a different stance on it. So I don't
feel my stance applies to everybody, but for us, yes,
it's definitely.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
I get her approval.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Now, it wasn't like this, Yeah, I get her approval
to post her on social media.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I have never asked my kids.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Really if they came to you, what would you.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I would listen to what they said. Uh, it depends
what it like, what the reasoning was.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Like a scenario where your son thought he looked dorky,
but you thought it was a great boy.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I would make fun of him and you know, and
I would give it right back to him and be like, well,
you do look like a dork. That's why I think
it's funny. And then there'd be the end of it.
But that's the relationship. So we don't ask them for consent.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You know, my daughter's different though, because you know, it's
it's a different age.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
If she was adamant that she you know, something she
was I like to got thing disgusting, I would I
would have that discussion and be like stop, like you
look beautiful, blah blah blah blah blah. And if it
was if it was tears and stuff like that, all right,
I'll take it down because I don't care that much.
But uh yeah, there's not a There hasn't been any
(13:15):
discussion of consent or anything like that, and there hasn't
been an issue that's popped up yet, so I'm kind
of just riding the wave.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I guess no consent, No consent. Discussions going on at
our house.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So from here on out, though, are you gonna run
it by the man?
Speaker 6 (13:30):
The man?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Well, what point doesn't it?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
What if? What if? What if Sky's daughter says she
does wanted to talk. You can't talk about me on
the show anymore. What if Reid says, I don't want
you to mention my name on the show anymore.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
I'm talking about and we've already had that discussion.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
In what way of.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Her again consent to tell stories about her on the show? Wow, yeah,
I don't, And you agree. I agree the house well,
I just I don't. She again my feelings, she didn't
sign up for this job. I'm open to embarrass myself
and tell all the stuff about me, but her personal stuff,
(14:12):
I feel that's her.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Obviously there's a line. And I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, But I also in my household, they know, like,
this is dad's job, this is why we live here,
this is why we do that. And and if I'm
going to tell a story about our family, that's just
part of the that's part of what you did sign
up for when when your mom married me, and this
is your part of our family. Is the way it
goes and so so you know you're embarrass them. But
(14:39):
if they're part of the story, yeah, like I.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Can clearly I can say her name and she's my
daughter and you know we went out to dinner blah
blah blah. But if but if it's something you know,
like personal or whatever, even if it is a great story.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Obviously there's a line. Yeah, I think, but I mean,
you know there again, there's no running it by people or.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Like that you're going to do.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
No line's my house.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
The Padres are basically the walking wounded right now. Oh
my god, everybody's injured.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
We're gonna see if they were able to overcome it
in last night's game or not.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Next to sports shirt,
We know how it goes if you are a parent
and you you know, got a kid of age, that
social media can be a tricky space.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Do you want to let your kids on social media?
Probably not, you know, and if they are on there,
you got to, you know, really put some parameters on
there and it could get a you know, a little
tricky for sure. Well, there is an issue going on
right now between Emily and her son Reed, who is
a teenager and has social media and things like that.

Oh, it's like a parents. He's holding it like a baby.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, there's a lot of parent one of the parents
in him with a cradling the other ones like on
his back, like with his you know.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Like it's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I could see Emily being so over the top with
the camera. Oh my god, read and see if they talk. Yeah,
see that's get a video.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Oh yeah, he took my camera and was taking the photos.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh the parent the guy, Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
The parent guy. Yeah, anyway, he took a photo. I
thought it was a great photo, Like, I love it
my son. I think he looks adorable. You can see
his little freckles.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
He's fifteen years old. He doesn't want to be called
adorable on the radio.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
And by the way, when when the boys are that age,
nobody's adorable, Like, yeah, they're in a weird case.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
They're all in a weird face.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And I just really love this photo, like you can
remind me and my little boy got it.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It just reminded me of my little boy.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I just thought it was still he looks someone in
there okay, and said he's just told it a bird.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You're making this so much weirder than so innocent fair.
As soon as the picture was done, I'm sure they
got an argument or something and repubably through the bird
five minutes.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
But in that moment, he's your little.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Boy, mom. Can I get a snow cone? It's called
shake dicey idiot? Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, well there was an all it's five minutes after Yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It was so cool, but all okay, okay, I love
pressure moment.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Pressure like favorite photo I've seen and had of my
son in old while.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Wow because he plays baseball, you think?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Sorry, Hey, So I included it, of course in my
little like Instagram.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yea, I saw, I saw the Slies show.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And it was in there, and I posted it in
the evening one of the nights that we were still
in Hawaii. And that's when the very next morning, my
son Reid, who by the way, when I showed him
this photo ahead of time, this is important. When I
showed him this photo after the guy parrot the paric
I took it, he wasn't like crazy about it.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Well, he feels like a little boy.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
He didn't like the way he looked he thought he
looked to me though he looks silly. He didn't ve
those words, but kind of I'm assuming that's the way
he thought about the photo.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Right, Well, it's not cool, man, No it's not. I'm
not a little boy. Yeah man, I'm fifteen. I'll eat
this parrot right now out.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Okay, that's I.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Ride my bike with this parrot's And so I knew
he wasn't wild about it, but I still love it
so much that I posted on my Instagram because I
loved this photo. Thought it was a great, nicely done photo.
And so that's when the next morning, when my son
was looking through Instagram, he stumbles upon my Instagram post
and all he'll breaks loose. He comes into the bedroom
(07:11):
when I was like waking up, and he goes, Mom,
he goes, you boasted that photo. He goes, this is
the worst photo ever. I've already had two friends that
I guess follow me.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
That's that foo send it to him.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
God's joking like, look at you dork, and all kinds
of stuff. His friends just giving crap. I know, boys
just teasing other boys right, making fun of him.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And he's just.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Hold, honestly, that picture probably could have been anything, and
his friends like it could have been the coolest picture ever,
and his friends would still screensh on it, put a
mustache on it, send it to him, you know, because
that's just boy stuff.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
But if he's already sensitive.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
I don't know if they're gonna put a mustache on it,
a pirate.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
That's so boy stuff reads age.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
They'd probably draw something else.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
In Yeah, not a mustache. Seven Okay, bad documentary.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Okay, Okay, he's livid.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
He's living. Yeah, you're the parents. Oh no, he's where
is friends following you?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
By the way, I.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Don't know he's living. Uh, postman up since well, I
think it was up around like five or six pm
and then now it's like nine am, nine or ten
am the next day. I'm a hot follow guy. So
it already got like a lot of comments and likes,
and it was like great comments like I love your trip,
looks great. But no, no, no, no, so it's great. It
was getting positive, but like you know, it was just
(08:45):
a good post, I thought. And so I tell him, no,
no what because he asked me to take down the photo.
And once you post it, you can't take the photo
down by itself because it's because it's a slideshow. You
have to you would have to delete the entire thing
and then repost it, and then it's spiraled as I
(09:08):
attend to spiral. When he starts arguing with me, I said,
you know what, we get to do cool things because
Dad and I work really hard and part of my
job is social media, and we you know, like this
is all encompassed and how you get to live your
life so awesome and get our privileged to do cool,
cool things. So I put my foot down and I
said that.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
So, wow, respect your kid.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I guess not, but I think it's I think I'm
in the right.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Well hold a photo. I again, your your description is
part of the problem, you know. I mean, kid's fourteen. Yeah, listen,
I don't feel like you have to run everything by him.
But when it comes to social media, this is where
it's getting a little tricky because he's involved. He's involved now,
and he has an opinion. When you were a little kid,
(09:56):
yeah you can do whatever you want and they don't know.
But now he's at that age where friends are gonna
see it, they're gonna give them a hard time. Things
like that. You don't think it's changed now.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I think it's changed. With respect to certain things like
if it was a picture of him, maybe in his
swim trunks or something, and he didn't like the way
his body looked or something like that, Like I would
respect that and be like, that's embarrassing, But this photo,
I think there's nothing embarrasing in your opinion, in my.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Opinion, but in his opinion he disagrees.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I understand that, But I feel like I just can trumpet.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I just feel like in this one care about I mean,
I care about his feelings, but you're gonna get over it.
It's all had an embarrassing photos posted of us at
some point. It's not okay, no, But I'm.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Just saying, wow.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Well, you know how earlier we were talking about like
arguing and how you talk to your partner, and Emily
and I were on very different pages about shoving. Well
turns out complete opposite pages again because I am stunning.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I think we all know what she's about to say.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
For the last I don't know, three years, far years.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Maybe I've had a deal with my daughter that I
will not post any picture of her on social media
without her.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Approval from I. Yes, I have to have consent from her.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Were you one of those parents that gonna put the
sticker in your kid's face.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Okay, now how many cars? How many people are in
the car right now? Just rolls as possible. I mean,
so when you're your daughter was fifteen, so a couple
of years. So when she was thirteen or twelve, said
you had to get her consent.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Which she started becoming self conscious of her own identity,
as teenage kids do. That's when it kind of came
to play and we had the discussion of, like, this
is my job.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
You didn't sign up for this job.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
If I was like just reaveing them benefits of it, right, If.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
If I just like had like friends and family following me,
then this wouldn't be a thing. I'd be like, the
only people who follow me are people who know us
really well, who love us.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Do you know their family? Stop it.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
But the fact that what I do is so public,
I have a different stance on it. So I don't
feel my stance applies to everybody, but for us, yes,
it's definitely.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
I get her approval.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Now, it wasn't like this, Yeah, I get her approval
to post her on social media.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I have never asked my kids.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Really if they came to you, what would you.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I would listen to what they said. Uh, it depends
what it like, what the reasoning was.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Like a scenario where your son thought he looked dorky,
but you thought it was a great boy.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I would make fun of him and you know, and
I would give it right back to him and be like, well,
you do look like a dork. That's why I think
it's funny. And then there'd be the end of it.
But that's the relationship. So we don't ask them for consent.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You know, my daughter's different though, because you know, it's
it's a different age.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
If she was adamant that she you know, something she
was I like to got thing disgusting, I would I
would have that discussion and be like stop, like you
look beautiful, blah blah blah blah blah. And if it
was if it was tears and stuff like that, all right,
I'll take it down because I don't care that much.
But uh yeah, there's not a There hasn't been any
(13:15):
discussion of consent or anything like that, and there hasn't
been an issue that's popped up yet, so I'm kind
of just riding the wave.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I guess no consent, No consent. Discussions going on at
our house.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So from here on out, though, are you gonna run
it by the man?
Speaker 6 (13:30):
The man?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Well, what point doesn't it?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
What if? What if? What if Sky's daughter says she
does wanted to talk. You can't talk about me on
the show anymore. What if Reid says, I don't want
you to mention my name on the show anymore.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
I'm talking about and we've already had that discussion.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
In what way of.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Her again consent to tell stories about her on the show? Wow, yeah,
I don't, And you agree. I agree the house well,
I just I don't. She again my feelings, she didn't
sign up for this job. I'm open to embarrass myself
and tell all the stuff about me, but her personal stuff,
(14:12):
I feel that's her.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Obviously there's a line. And I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, But I also in my household, they know, like,
this is dad's job, this is why we live here,
this is why we do that. And and if I'm
going to tell a story about our family, that's just
part of the that's part of what you did sign
up for when when your mom married me, and this
is your part of our family. Is the way it
goes and so so you know you're embarrass them. But
(14:39):
if they're part of the story, yeah, like I.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Can clearly I can say her name and she's my
daughter and you know we went out to dinner blah
blah blah. But if but if it's something you know,
like personal or whatever, even if it is a great story.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Obviously there's a line. Yeah, I think, but I mean,
you know there again, there's no running it by people or.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Like that you're going to do.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
No line's my house.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
The Padres are basically the walking wounded right now. Oh
my god, everybody's injured.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
We're gonna see if they were able to overcome it
in last night's game or not.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
