- 0:18Speaker 2: She's actually not here today because she's taking her kid
- 0:20Speaker 2: in for a doctor appointment.
- 0:22Speaker 1: That's right, a routine, just routine, yes.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Yep, but she it's like early, so she can't be
- 0:27Speaker 2: here and then run to the appointment. Anyway, We digress.
- 0:29Speaker 1: As I said, she's a wonderful mama, she really is.
- 0:31Speaker 1: And you're a wonderful dad. And I'm wondering, Cobby, do
- 0:34Speaker 1: you guys care if your kids swear? Because I've got
- 0:39Speaker 1: to study here about it. So I just want to
- 0:40Speaker 1: see where you wait, you have a study on it? Yeah,
- 0:42Speaker 1: how do you feel if and give us the ages of.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Okay, so Miles is four, Nailmi will be six in
- 0:48Speaker 2: a week.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Oh that's right.
- 0:51Speaker 2: We do let them know. You don't say that, but
- 0:55Speaker 2: the problem with parents and let me know if I'm
- 0:57Speaker 2: wrong pants. The problem that we have as adults is
- 1:01Speaker 2: laughing when they if they're in the back of the
- 1:04Speaker 2: car and they drop an f bombers yeah you I
- 1:09Speaker 2: look at my wife and we giggle. Then you don't
- 1:11Speaker 2: want to be caught giggling because and it encourages them.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Because then they're like, oh, oh good response.
- 1:16Speaker 2: But my short answer is, well, if they say something bad,
- 1:19Speaker 2: we absolutely say don't say that again. Don't ever say
- 1:23Speaker 2: that in school and all the repercussions that could happen.
- 1:27Speaker 1: You know, so you would say you do care, we
- 1:29Speaker 1: do care, You're not you don't take it, super superhero.
- 1:33Speaker 2: It makes me feel a little bit better. Okay, We've
- 1:35Speaker 2: yet to have a teacher Naomi is in kindergarten, Miles
- 1:38Speaker 2: in pre k or whatever in daycare. We've yet to
- 1:41Speaker 2: have a teacher say to us that they said that
- 1:43Speaker 2: word in school. Oh, that's good, which is encouraging.
- 1:45Speaker 1: That's a good sign.
- 1:46Speaker 2: We've heard other things, but never about dirty words. Okay, So,
- 1:49Speaker 2: but what's the survey saying.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Well, it's saying that parents are getting a little more
- 1:52Speaker 1: relaxed about it. Like our parents remember back in the day,
- 1:55Speaker 1: they would freak out. Oh my gosh, yeah, there would
- 1:58Speaker 1: be trouble now. They said, like about half of parents
- 2:02Speaker 1: are concerned about their kids swearing. Sometimes as they get older,
- 2:06Speaker 1: like into their teens, they're saying sometimes like let them
- 2:09Speaker 1: because they're releasing some anger, just like everybody else. But
- 2:14Speaker 1: that's only like half, And again that's very different at
- 2:16Speaker 1: least from how I was brought up. But they most
- 2:20Speaker 1: parents think that their kids are learning the swear words
- 2:23Speaker 1: and cursing outside the home like they think they're learning
- 2:26Speaker 1: them at school.
- 2:27Speaker 2: I agree with that. Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong,
- 2:29Speaker 2: I'm sure they've caught a few from me. But I
- 2:32Speaker 2: know Naomi said a word in particular that I never
- 2:36Speaker 2: said before after she started kindergarten, and I was like, no,
- 2:39Speaker 2: you don't say that again. So she also knows. Naomi
- 2:43Speaker 2: also knows, and I agree that stupid's a bad word, right,
- 2:47Speaker 2: forget about the really dirty words. Stupid is a bad word. Yeah,
- 2:50Speaker 2: never say that to anybody, you know. She said she
- 2:53Speaker 2: said that to somebody, So you never say to somebody. Okay,
- 2:56Speaker 2: I go. You can say you can call like the
- 2:59Speaker 2: garbage stupid, like daddy has to take out the stupid garbage.
- 3:03Speaker 1: That to a person or about a person.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Stupid to me is just as bad of a dirty
- 3:08Speaker 2: word as the other words.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Like it's very true. Yeah, yeah that's good because yeah,
- 3:12Speaker 1: that's damaging. I know my mom, I wasn't allowed to
- 3:15Speaker 1: use the word ugly.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Ugly wow? Okay? Ever, like what if you said the
- 3:20Speaker 2: weather is ugly?
- 3:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to, like as I got older, differentiate
- 3:24Speaker 1: where it was okay to say it. But yeah, she
- 3:27Speaker 1: never wanted me to say that to a person. I
- 3:30Speaker 1: hope I never did. I can't account for, you know,
- 3:33Speaker 1: all these years. But it's just a word I don't use.
- 3:37Speaker 1: If I'm saying somebody's ugly, it usually means like their
- 3:41Speaker 1: their actions, their spirit, like something they're doing something that
- 3:46Speaker 1: feels ugly, not their physicality.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Well, look, it's stuck with you, it did.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Well, very sensitive to all of me too.
- 3:53Speaker 2: All of that me too, Yeah.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Protecting people's feelings because who were we to say, right exactly?
- 3:59Speaker 2: Well hit us up at four four three six three?
- 4:01Speaker 2: Where do you stand on this? If you're a parent
- 4:03Speaker 2: and the kids drop a dirty word. It all depends
- 4:06Speaker 2: on the age too. Yeah, you know, I'm really nervous
- 4:08Speaker 2: about these kids when they become thirteen fourteen, I'm going
- 4:12Speaker 2: to let it go in a big door slam. I mean,
- 4:16Speaker 2: I'm sure that's going to be happening. To be prepared
- 4:18Speaker 2: for that, exactly. All right, hit us up and coming up,
