- 0:07Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, I think it is incredibly petty,
- 0:10Speaker 2: without question, it's petty, but it's understandable. It's understandable. But
- 0:15Speaker 2: it's incredible. It's very petty. But but it's understandable. I
- 0:19Speaker 2: get it. It's understandable. I mean, listen when I when
- 0:24Speaker 2: my son graduated. You know, you get so many tickets, right,
- 0:29Speaker 2: and my daddy wanted to be there, My uncle wanted
- 0:32Speaker 2: to be there, but my newfound mother wanted to be
- 0:36Speaker 2: there too. So I had to make a decision, and
- 0:39Speaker 2: I chose to let my new found mother be there
- 0:41Speaker 2: and not my uncle.
- 0:43Speaker 3: M Yeah, but you were paying for everything.
- 0:46Speaker 4: Yeah, your uncleouldn't pay me.
- 0:47Speaker 2: You would still, I mean, but but outside of the
- 0:51Speaker 2: monetary aspect of it, it was more of my uncle
- 0:54Speaker 2: had been there for my son his whole life.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and you would think it was petty because
- 1:01Speaker 3: that was paid.
- 1:02Speaker 4: That was not petty of me.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I wanted to be able to experience her grandson that
- 1:07Speaker 2: she he was fine with it. He sat in the

- 1:25Speaker 3: There's that she's gone.
- 1:27Speaker 1: They tend to not have memories exactly. Yeah, I think
- 1:32Speaker 1: I don't think it's petty at all. And I think
- 1:34Speaker 1: that it's presumptuous of a little seventeen year old.
- 1:36Speaker 3: To believe that you can you can, you can do so.
- 1:39Speaker 2: A seventeen year old is going to make seventeen year
- 1:40Speaker 2: old decisions, that's just the truth.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Yeah, we all know that, and you did, and you
- 1:45Speaker 1: know what, but you got to be ready for the
- 1:46Speaker 1: ones that you're almost old enough to.
- 1:48Speaker 3: Be drafted, almost but not quite. If you if you
- 1:52Speaker 3: can go to war, you can go to the bank.
- 1:54Speaker 2: I'm just saying, seventeen is still not legal, not legal.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Way, and she's about to have a birthday any minute,
- 2:02Speaker 4: she might about to.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Be But I'm telling you you're getting the wrong situation.
- 2:05Speaker 2: The judge she's only seventeen, depends.
- 2:09Speaker 4: But you know, I digress.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Absolutely, how do we get I don't know.
- 2:14Speaker 4: We could just move of case, we could just move on.
- 2:18Speaker 1: How do we get from from an ungrateful chick to
- 2:21Speaker 1: a uh to a you know, to a b blesstation thing.
- 2:24Speaker 4: I don't know who's doing a different show?
- 2:26Speaker 3: Now, Well, you.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Said if you, if you, if you, if you're the wrong,
- 2:30Speaker 1: if you're seventeen years old, the judge to say she's
- 2:32Speaker 1: not old enough.
- 2:33Speaker 2: I would, right, but that's not that's yeah.
- 2:36Speaker 3: What is talking about? Yeah, I'm wondering what else it
- 2:40Speaker 3: was then?
- 2:41Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know about exactly exactly.
- 2:45Speaker 2: That's strong.
- 2:46Speaker 4: What the hell?
- 2:48Speaker 3: What else would have judge in the seventeen year old
- 2:51Speaker 3: either that or not? Knock joke?
- 2:52Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 2:57Speaker 4: You're right?
- 2:59Speaker 3: So he is just scenario? What do you think?
- 3:01Speaker 6: So you even tell me for the last seven two years,
- 3:03Speaker 6: I've been taking care of you. This man never showed
- 3:05Speaker 6: up for one birthday, and he shows up at your graduations,
- 3:08Speaker 6: and now you want him to take my slot. No,
- 3:10Speaker 6: it's not like that, And I thank you for being
- 3:12Speaker 6: there for seventeen years, but I really have my.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Real dad to be there.
- 3:15Speaker 6: Your real dad, Your real dad wasn't there for the
- 3:17Speaker 6: last seventeen years.
- 3:18Speaker 3: How am I supposed to feel about that?
- 3:19Speaker 7: Baby girl?
- 3:21Speaker 6: I don't know what I thought you will understand it.
- 3:23Speaker 6: I would understand you trade me for a man that
- 3:26Speaker 6: hasn't been there.
- 3:27Speaker 8: I just really wanted to.
- 3:28Speaker 3: This is your decisions. Is that what you does? What
- 3:30Speaker 3: you rock?
- 3:31Speaker 8: Yes?
- 3:31Speaker 3: Okay, all right?
- 3:31Speaker 9: Cool, So MAYB We're gonna let you and your real
- 3:33Speaker 9: dad go ahead and handle that.
- 3:34Speaker 3: And I'm going ahead and counsel out.
- 3:37Speaker 6: I paid for the graduation, but I'm taking that money back, y'all.
- 3:39Speaker 3: I find did your mom how going to do this?
- 3:42Speaker 4: My mom did about it?
- 3:44Speaker 3: Okay, all right, you talked to her first, Yeah, and
- 3:46Speaker 3: what did she say? Y'all can have that conversation.
- 3:50Speaker 7: You're right, we will.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Julie's what do you think?
- 3:54Speaker 10: Well, you know, if if I'm putting myself in it,
- 3:58Speaker 10: of course, I think you made the right choice, because
- 4:01Speaker 10: I mean, I try to be manevolent about these things,
- 4:04Speaker 10: but right feelings are wrapped.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Up in it also.
- 4:07Speaker 10: And if I raised a little crumb hustler and went
- 4:11Speaker 10: through all of this and got a way, she's graduating
- 4:14Speaker 10: and everything set and right then here comes daddy come lately.
- 4:18Speaker 4: You know, I think I'd feel some kind of way.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Yeah, and I hope that he has some tuition for
- 4:25Speaker 3: college money.
- 4:25Speaker 11: Too, matter of fact, I'm sending him an invoice for
- 4:29Speaker 11: the last seventeen years. No, no, this welcome back, all this,
- 4:34Speaker 11: take it all so soft whatever.
- 4:40Speaker 3: So it would be soft if he did it anyway.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Yeah, son, relationships with the start playing.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Yeah you you, yeah, right you you. You did what
- 4:51Speaker 3: you wanted to do. And why why why would you
- 4:56Speaker 3: think that you should be entitled to do something? Why
- 4:59Speaker 3: do you think this is the thing I don't understand.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Why would somebody know or be aware of how painful
- 5:05Speaker 1: that can be and still think that there would be
- 5:08Speaker 1: no repercussions from it.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Yes, well, I think when you're seventeen years old, you're
- 5:11Speaker 2: incredibly selfish, so you're only thinking about what you want
- 5:15Speaker 2: and if you want your real father to be there,
- 5:17Speaker 2: it's what you want, and you're not thinking about you
- 5:20Speaker 2: know that the fact that your step parent or whatever
- 5:24Speaker 2: their feelings, will be hurt. Now again, I understand the
- 5:27Speaker 2: pain of the step father. I understand, and I said,
- 5:29Speaker 2: I totally understand it.
- 5:31Speaker 4: I do.
- 5:31Speaker 2: I totally get it, But I still think it's petty.
- 5:33Speaker 3: We'll go right through the falls. What do you think?
- 5:35Speaker 12: Quite frankly, I can understand him being disappointed in her,
- 5:39Speaker 12: not realizing something but she doesn't realize is a man
- 5:43Speaker 12: who created her was a sperm donor. The man who
- 5:46Speaker 12: raised her was her father. Now, you know, when you're young,
- 5:50Speaker 12: sometimes you don't always have a sense of appreciation about
- 5:53Speaker 12: who really, you know, puts the butter on your bread.
- 5:56Speaker 12: So he can be upset about it. But I think
- 6:00Speaker 12: saying I'm gonna cut you off, you know, as her father,
- 6:04Speaker 12: he should look beyond that. He could be heard about
- 6:07Speaker 12: it and he can have that discussion with her. But
- 6:10Speaker 12: I wouldn't take that approach that. You know, well, if
- 6:14Speaker 12: you don't see me as your dad, I would cut
- 6:17Speaker 12: you off because if that was his biological daughter, I
- 6:19Speaker 12: don't think he would do that because she didn't appreciate
- 6:22Speaker 12: who he was.
- 6:24Speaker 13: I agree with her one hundred percent. With him, I
- 6:27Speaker 13: wouldn't pay for anything. I mean you serious, Just because
- 6:31Speaker 13: he's the donor of the child doesn't make him the father, Okay,
- 6:37Speaker 13: I would I agree with him. I wouldn't pay for that.
- 6:39Speaker 9: I would.
- 6:40Speaker 13: You know, if your daddy want to come in and
- 6:42Speaker 13: pay for your graduation, then let him do it. But
- 6:45Speaker 13: you're not gonna disrespect me like that because you're not
- 6:47Speaker 13: my bod's lologic daughter. Okay, you not, so you do it.
- 6:51Speaker 13: You're not my blood daughter. So what I've done for you,
- 6:54Speaker 13: I've been more a followed than you than your biological father.
- 6:57Speaker 13: So I agree with him a thousand cent. I would
- 7:00Speaker 13: take every down, every penny back and let her go
- 7:03Speaker 13: on and do what she want to do. And her
- 7:04Speaker 13: mother she can go with her.
- 7:06Speaker 9: So I agree with y'all.
- 7:08Speaker 8: Uh, she is dead wrong, and the father need to
- 7:11Speaker 8: go ahead and.
- 7:11Speaker 9: Take its money back.
- 7:12Speaker 8: And if I'm about to deal with the mother, so
- 7:15Speaker 8: the father was not wrong at all.
- 7:17Speaker 9: The girl is totally wrong. I have a friend who
- 7:22Speaker 9: is going through this current situation. He raised this woman's
- 7:27Speaker 9: I mean this man's son from the age of seven
- 7:29Speaker 9: till now has firmed on the drops in every now
- 7:33Speaker 9: and then.
- 7:33Speaker 14: Now he wants to have him at his graduation, buy
- 7:37Speaker 14: a ticket, uh, and everything for the biological father and
- 7:42Speaker 14: ex out the step matter.
- 7:44Speaker 9: My boy. He then pay pays for the dudes, and
- 7:48Speaker 9: I mean stepson's insurance paid for everything. And he told
- 7:53Speaker 9: him turn the keys in. And the mother is like,
- 7:57Speaker 9: he was wrong. You're like, no, you ain't gonna replace
- 7:59Speaker 9: me with those farther after I hadn't been through all this,
- 8:02Speaker 9: turn them keys in and now they in the big
- 8:05Speaker 9: old argument. So I think she was wrong, and I
- 8:07Speaker 9: don't think he being patty. Let let Tom doesn't do
- 8:10Speaker 9: all that. I've been doing this all this time, So
- 8:13Speaker 9: now I don't think you're being petty.
- 8:14Speaker 3: So here's the scenario. Let me let you hear it.
- 8:16Speaker 3: There's the idea of hope.
- 8:18Speaker 6: So you even tell me, for the last seventeen years
- 8:20Speaker 6: I've been taking care of you. This man never showed
- 8:22Speaker 6: up for one birthday, and he shows up at your graduation,
- 8:24Speaker 6: and now you want him to take my spot.
- 8:27Speaker 2: No, it's not like that. And I thank you for
- 8:29Speaker 2: being there for seventeen years, but I really want my
- 8:31Speaker 2: real dad to be there.
- 8:32Speaker 6: Your real dad, Your real dad was there for the
- 8:34Speaker 6: last seventeen years.
- 8:35Speaker 3: How am I supposed to feel about that, baby girl?
- 8:37Speaker 2: I don't know what.
- 8:38Speaker 3: I thought you would understand it.
- 8:40Speaker 6: I would understand you trade me for a man that
- 8:42Speaker 6: has been there.
- 8:44Speaker 3: I just really wanted to sell. This is your decision.
- 8:46Speaker 3: Is that what you do? What you rock?
- 8:47Speaker 8: Yes?
- 8:48Speaker 3: Okay, all right? Cool? So then we're gonna let you
- 8:49Speaker 3: and your real dad go ahead and handle that. And
- 8:51Speaker 3: I'm going ahead and counsel out.
- 8:54Speaker 14: I paid for the graduation, but I'm taking that money back, y'all.
- 8:56Speaker 3: I find did your mom have going to do this?
- 8:59Speaker 11: Mom?
- 8:59Speaker 7: Dad?
- 9:00Speaker 3: Okay, all right?
- 9:03Speaker 11: Yeah?
- 9:03Speaker 9: And what does she say?
- 9:05Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 9:05Speaker 15: That oversation?
- 9:07Speaker 12: You're right?
- 9:07Speaker 3: Well, what do you think was he patty or was
- 9:11Speaker 3: he justified? That was a question we posed to you. Uh,
- 9:13Speaker 3: we got right to the phone.
- 9:15Speaker 9: I think that she's wrong.
- 9:17Speaker 5: I think that being her stepdad has taken care of
- 9:20Speaker 5: her and her father have never been there for her.
- 9:24Speaker 5: Then she's wrong, and she's seventeen and she knows wrong.
- 9:28Speaker 5: I mean, she loved her dad, but her dance did
- 9:30Speaker 5: in the audience, and her the one who raised her,
- 9:33Speaker 5: the one walker she's simply is that right is right
- 9:37Speaker 5: and wrong is wrong.
- 9:39Speaker 8: I think that was horrible of her, and I've been
- 9:44Speaker 8: in a situation like that. But I'm just glad that
- 9:48Speaker 8: my son in law, Oh my god, I'm just glad
- 9:51Speaker 8: that he saw my grandson as she's owned for since
- 9:57Speaker 8: he's been in his life from three and my grandson
- 9:59Speaker 8: is and his twenties followed in his footsteps as a
- 10:02Speaker 8: merchant marine. I mean, I'm just glad my son in
- 10:07Speaker 8: law didn't see my grandson as different, which this child didn't,
- 10:12Speaker 8: this father didn't. But I'm also glad that my grandson
- 10:16Speaker 8: saw him as a father in his life that should
- 10:19Speaker 8: be there.
- 10:20Speaker 5: So he did exactly what I would have done.
- 10:23Speaker 9: So I don't think it's Peddy. If it's Peddy was
- 10:26Speaker 9: to do what.
- 10:27Speaker 5: He did, then I think a lot of us going
- 10:30Speaker 5: to be petty because it sounded right about right what
- 10:32Speaker 5: he should have done.
- 10:34Speaker 12: So I have a.
- 10:35Speaker 7: Stepmother who was amazing.
- 10:37Speaker 9: She was at every event.
- 10:39Speaker 16: Especially my high school graduation which was many moves though,
- 10:43Speaker 16: and she was just a great stepmother and I gave
- 10:45Speaker 16: her all the credit I could give her as a stepmother.
- 10:48Speaker 7: My mom also was in my life. My mom did
- 10:51Speaker 7: not mind it at all. But for this generation to
- 10:54Speaker 7: be entitled to say this man has been in her
- 10:57Speaker 7: life for seventeen years, he did what he needs to do,
- 11:01Speaker 7: clearly the dead beat if her father was not there,
- 11:04Speaker 7: I don't think the gentleman is wrong for taking it back.
- 11:07Speaker 16: But I'm sure if he loved baby girl to be
- 11:10Speaker 16: there for seventeen years, he can definitely change his mind
- 11:14Speaker 16: and paying for her.
- 11:15Speaker 7: Graduation, So she's wrong, not him.
- 11:19Speaker 16: I will give my stepfather all the credit that is
- 11:22Speaker 16: due for him all the seventeen years and leave the
- 11:25Speaker 16: dead beat he's at period.
- 11:28Speaker 3: All right.
- 11:28Speaker 1: When we come back, we get into our feature, Welcome
- 11:31Speaker 1: to the Stage. We're gonna spotlight some of the funniest
- 11:33Speaker 1: comedians that we got in the countries today. Of course
- 11:36Speaker 1: it is time for our feature. One of my favorite
- 11:38Speaker 1: parts of the feature, Welcome to the Stage. We're gonna
- 11:40Speaker 1: spotlight some of the funniest comedians.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Some of you know, some you don't. Right now here
- 11:44Speaker 3: is Harrison Greenbaum.
- 11:46Speaker 4: English languages raised.
- 11:47Speaker 15: As you put black in front of the word, even
- 11:49Speaker 15: a good word, it makes it worse. That's messed up, right,
- 11:52Speaker 15: Like mail. I love getting mailed, blackmail, crime market, I
- 11:57Speaker 15: love going to the market. Black market, crime ice. Put
- 12:01Speaker 15: it in my drink, black ice, very dangerous ice.
- 12:05Speaker 3: Hole.
- 12:06Speaker 15: I can deal with a whole black hole. That's the
- 12:08Speaker 15: most dangerous hole in the universe. That's extra racist because
- 12:13Speaker 15: space is black. There's no reason to single out the hole.
- 12:19Speaker 15: They could have just called it space hole. We would
- 12:21Speaker 15: have figured it out from the context clues. But no,
- 12:25Speaker 15: A bunch of racist scientists got together, like, Osh, what
- 12:27Speaker 15: are we gonna call that thing? They're like, well, what
- 12:29Speaker 15: does it do. I'm like, well, it destroys everything around.
- 12:31Speaker 15: It really drives down the property values. And the most
- 12:34Speaker 15: racist scientist was like, black hole. That's a black hole.
- 12:38Speaker 15: It's okay, I can make that joke. I went to
- 12:41Speaker 15: space camp.
