  Speaker 1: caught me off guard.

  Speaker 1: Some donkey todays just saw themselves. On The Breakfast Club. Okay, Chalamet,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: who you giving donkey of the day to today?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Well, donkey of the day for Thursday, September 10th goes
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: to Andrew Dick and Feather Roberts of Oklahoma. Now, these
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: two individuals were arrested after police said they left three
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: of their kids, eight years old, five years old, and
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: one years old, home alone so they could go play pickleball.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: to Oklahoma on 6 News for the report, please.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Two Glenpool parents are facing child neglect charges after police
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: found three young children home alone while the parents were
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: off playing pickleball. Police arrested Andrew Dick and Feather Roberts
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Saturday after officers responded to a 911 hang-up call and
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: found an 8-year-old, 5-year-old, and 1-year-old without adult supervision. The
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: parents were 20 minutes away in Bixby at a sports complex.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: They told officers the children had access to an iPad
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: to call for help if needed. Both face three counts
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: of child neglect. The children were not hurt, and police
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: say DHS has been notified.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Listen, Feather Dick. What ages were the kids again?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: What ages were the kids again? Eight, five, and one. Okay? Eight, five,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and one. Listen, to the Feather Dick couple, all right?
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I want to play a game against what race it is,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: but I don't think it's necessary, because this might be
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the whitest child neglect story I've.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Ever heard in my life. Okay? I know, I know.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Leaving your kids home alone is not just a white thing.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Even though there's a whole hit movie franchise about it
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: starring white people.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: But negligent parents do come in every race, religion, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: tax bracket. But we know what makes this story white. Ah!
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: And that's pickleball.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: OK, Caucasian pickleball court commitment is real.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: This is privileged paddle parenting.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And what pisses me off about this story.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Is they absolutely knew better. Because when you read more
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: into the story, they also have a fourth child who's
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: an infant. And police say they got a babysitter for
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the baby. So they know how this works. OK, they
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: secured child care for the baby, but left the other
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: three to the mercy of Disney +. Or maybe YouTube, okay?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Peppa Pig on YouTube. That keeps the kids in one
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: spot for some hours. But I do want to say, though,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: my how times have changed, okay? Were our parents committing
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a crime when they was leaving us to fend for
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: ourselves when we was kids? I was for sure getting
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: off the bus at 8 and going to my grandma's
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: house and being there alone until an adult came. Y'all
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: ain't never did that when y'all was young? Or y'all
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: don't want to put y'all parents in an incriminating situation?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: My mama said, don't answer that door, don't answer the phone.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. I grew up in an era
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: where nothing happened was a parenting strategy, okay? All right,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: thank you, God, for covering us when our parents was
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: leaving us home alone, okay? In the case of Andrew
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Dick and Feather Roberts... Police allege this wasn't the first
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: time the children have been left alone.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You think? OK, that's how bad decisions get comfortable. All right.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You do something once, get away with it. And the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: next time it doesn't feel quite as reckless. OK, ain't
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: nothing going to happen to these kids. They'll be fine.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: We're only 20 minutes away. I'm telling you, nothing is
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: going to happen is a parenting strategy for some people.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And it's all good until today.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It's not. OK, and the way my parental paranoia is
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: set up and if you don't know what parental paranoia is,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: it's the anxiety that we experience as parents.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: OK, the way mine is set up, I could never.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: All right. Yes, yes, yes.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Parents deserve lives. OK, parents deserve to go out. They
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: deserve to have hobbies. They deserve to have date nights.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Go play pickleball until your little suburban heart is content.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: We deserve that. But get a damn babysitter.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: OK, that's it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Having kids means sometimes your plans get canceled because you
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: don't have a babysitter. You don't got nobody to watch
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the kids. That's parenting, okay? Sometimes you don't get the dink.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And if you don't know what dink is, it's a
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: soft shot in pickleball.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And sometimes when you can't find a babysitter, you have
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to put the paddle down and stay your ass at home.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: If you don't, you will find yourself in a pickle
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: like these parents. Please give the Feather Dick couple, Andrew
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Dick and Feather Roberts, the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.

  Speaker 2: I'm sorry for those watching on the radio, but for
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: those looking at home on Netflix. Those watching on the radio,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: they are very much Caucasian, as you would think.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But we play pickleball, too. Oh, for real? Who's weak?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Black people play pickleball. I don't.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: No, black people play.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Not as often as, not as much as white people,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: but they do. You never tried? I've played pickleball. That's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: how I know the black people play it.
• 5:12
