Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: The question we're asking ladies and gentlemen. The father takes
- 0:02Speaker 1: an ass to his to his son's TV. Did he
- 0:04Speaker 1: go too far as that good pair of First off,
- 0:08Speaker 1: good is in the eye of the beholder. If it
- 0:12Speaker 1: changes the behavior, I guess it was good. Yeah.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Well, I mean kids also, really they push you right, yes,
- 0:19Speaker 2: and they don't believe that what you told them is true.
- 0:22Speaker 2: So sometimes you got to show them. Yeah, you got
- 0:24Speaker 2: to show them. Sometimes some you got to pop out
- 0:26Speaker 2: and show.
- 0:26Speaker 1: The don't do that. Don't pop out and show Yeah.
- 0:31Speaker 1: It really is hard to like kids nowadays.
- 0:34Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:34Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying in general, they'll go to a
- 0:36Speaker 1: time when it's cold.
- 0:38Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, my son didn't do that,
- 0:39Speaker 2: got it. But I think especially girls the younger, they
- 0:42Speaker 2: are hard to like. It takes a long time to
- 0:45Speaker 2: start to like them.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Again, hard to like. It's a little different. Hard to
- 0:48Speaker 1: like them. Not hard to love, but hard to like.
- 0:51Speaker 1: And I think the reason they's so cute is so
- 0:54Speaker 1: you don't run them over when they're teenagers, you know
- 0:56Speaker 1: what I mean. That's why you that's why I keep
- 0:58Speaker 1: baby pictures. The people keep baby people remind you of
- 1:02Speaker 1: what they used to be, and so you don't strangle them,
- 1:07Speaker 1: you know what I mean? No, I don't know what
- 1:08Speaker 1: you man. Yeah, they have to be that cute or
- 1:12Speaker 1: otherwise you would toss to my.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Now, perhaps if I had plural, I would understand. But
- 1:17Speaker 2: because I had a singular, I don't really know. And
- 1:19Speaker 2: he was he was good. I never had any issues
- 1:20Speaker 2: out of him. But plural might have changed it.
- 1:22Speaker 1: You might have he's por plural. Somebody would have tested you,
- 1:26Speaker 1: you know, I believe it'd been that middle one. The
- 1:27Speaker 1: middle one is always the tester. No, no, not always.
- 1:32Speaker 1: I've always heard the middle one was the test. Both
- 1:33Speaker 1: of my girls are criminals. They have they have criminal records.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Could you follook at them?
- 1:38Speaker 5: Following?
- 1:39Speaker 1: Yeah, but kaya was a good guy. But then, you know,
- 1:43Speaker 1: I don't know. Every time they do that, every time
- 1:47Speaker 1: I have a conversation like that, I remember they owe
- 1:49Speaker 1: me money, and then it makes me mad again. Statute
- 1:52Speaker 1: of limitations limitations seventy four grand I was promising seventy
- 1:58Speaker 1: four thousand dollars. That's what the legal fee was. Interest
- 2:01Speaker 1: has a crude, That's what the legal fee was. Didz
- 2:04Speaker 1: as broad the biggest running the question we're asking ladies gimen,
- 2:11Speaker 1: the father takes an as to his uh, to his
- 2:14Speaker 1: son's TeV. Do you think he lost did he lose control?
- 2:19Speaker 1: Or was this good parent? What do you think? Skip?
- 2:22Speaker 6: I think it's a little bit of both. Sometimes you
- 2:24Speaker 6: gotta lose control to get some good parenting done. Sometimes
- 2:27Speaker 6: you gotta do it, you know, Sometimes you gotta chop
- 2:30Speaker 6: him in the throat, you know, you know, sometimes you
- 2:33Speaker 6: gotta you know, I've I've taken my son's door off
- 2:37Speaker 6: the hinges, you know, off his bedroom door. Took it
- 2:39Speaker 6: smooth off the hinges, and uh, no, you don't have
- 2:42Speaker 6: no door no more. So there you go. Yeah, and
- 2:45Speaker 6: we we told we took off the hinges. And one
- 2:48Speaker 6: time we took because he had he's like me, had
- 2:50Speaker 6: a whole lot of sneakers. So we took all of
- 2:52Speaker 6: his left shoes except all of his left shoes. We
- 2:57Speaker 6: took it so he had his shoes in there, but
- 2:59Speaker 6: he couldn't wear. Took all the left ones and said, no,
- 3:02Speaker 6: when you wear these the cheapest, raggediest ones, those ones
- 3:06Speaker 6: you got to wear until you know.
- 3:07Speaker 1: So, now that is a light skin punishment. You've gotta
- 3:14Speaker 1: be like getting thinking something like that. Because you know
- 3:17Speaker 1: we're gonna do We're gonna take all of his left shoes.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Oh that's diabomical somewhere in the Mars is going. You
- 3:23Speaker 1: know what the question is? Didn't work?
- 3:25Speaker 6: Yeah, because you figure you're sitting there looking at all
- 3:27Speaker 6: these fresh Jordans and you can't wear them. You can't
- 3:30Speaker 6: mitch match them or nothing. You just you're gonna wear
- 3:32Speaker 6: these raggedy uh uh air Force ones that are old
- 3:36Speaker 6: and raggedy.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Here you go, that's all you can wear. The school
- 3:38Speaker 1: that is it?
- 3:39Speaker 6: Did you come home and look at it on just
- 3:42Speaker 6: a mitch match?
- 3:44Speaker 1: Yeah, Mitch match. That's what I said. That's what I love,
- 3:48Speaker 1: audience that.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Sometimes you got to say it like that to get
- 3:54Speaker 2: I got.
- 3:55Speaker 1: The sad thing about it is I think there's probably
- 3:58Speaker 1: nothing you could do short of running a child over
- 4:00Speaker 1: with a car, and even then that our audiences wouldn't
- 4:03Speaker 1: approve of our audience. Come on, don't think because they're
- 4:07Speaker 1: a little I don't think. I think that they came
- 4:10Speaker 1: from an ass whooping generation. The actually think that that
- 4:14Speaker 1: that is why they're still alive.
- 4:16Speaker 2: No, I believe that it's a lot of videos on
- 4:18Speaker 2: social media gen xer we're talking about, you know, how
- 4:20Speaker 2: we survived, and they go through a list of things
- 4:23Speaker 2: as to why.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:24Speaker 1: So I'm just yeah, I think it's there's amazing how
- 4:30Speaker 1: the our they have a rock, They got a lot
- 4:33Speaker 1: of runway of things they can do to our out
- 4:35Speaker 1: of the physical word, whip.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Everything with whatever they can find.
- 4:43Speaker 1: I'm not saying all of them, but a good little
- 4:44Speaker 1: dassun with it. I mean, so, all right, we're going
- 4:48Speaker 1: to get to those calls were gonna hear. Wow, that
- 4:51Speaker 1: sounds so a father had had enough. This is what transpired.
- 4:56Speaker 7: And every time I come home and the trash is
- 4:58Speaker 7: stilled up, I say the same exact like, why is.
- 5:01Speaker 8: The trash can filled up? And nobody's looking out? It
- 5:04Speaker 8: literally takes five seconds In case if you want to
- 5:06Speaker 8: right now, don't you do it? That's not the point, Tom,
- 5:09Speaker 8: Why should I do it? I just worked all day?
- 5:11Speaker 8: What have you done? You're sitting here playing games right now? Tom? Yeah?
- 5:16Speaker 9: Am I talking to the wall? Do you not hear
- 5:18Speaker 9: me talking to him talking to you? What about the
- 5:20Speaker 9: stuff that you gotta get done? I don't want to
- 5:22Speaker 9: come home and have to do this shit.
- 5:24Speaker 8: I'll be getting get done.
- 5:27Speaker 3: That's what you do.
- 5:29Speaker 9: Oh now, how about you do some work?
- 5:34Speaker 8: Tom?
- 5:35Speaker 9: Huh okay, yeah, does.
- 5:38Speaker 8: That noticeat you?
- 5:39Speaker 10: Now?
- 5:39Speaker 8: Tom?
- 5:39Speaker 6: Sure?
- 5:40Speaker 8: Just let me getting my shoes on and I'll just
- 5:41Speaker 8: I'll have right out.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Then is he a good parent? I go too far,
- 5:44Speaker 1: We'll go to the focus.
- 5:46Speaker 4: I think that young man wouldn't have had time to
- 5:50Speaker 4: game or watch TV after picking all his teeth up
- 5:53Speaker 4: off the floor. So the father, granted, was just ground,
- 5:58Speaker 4: but it's no way in hell would have messed up
- 6:00Speaker 4: something that I paid for.
- 6:02Speaker 11: See, he wasn't being.
- 6:03Speaker 12: Smart about it.
- 6:05Speaker 13: I think that that's kind of ignorant pairing thing because
- 6:08Speaker 13: the TV didn't do nothing to him. I'm from Harlem, USA,
- 6:12Speaker 13: and I know some fathers that would have taken the
- 6:14Speaker 13: power court out the TV and started whipping that ass.
- 6:18Speaker 13: So you know, the TV didn't do nothing. But you know,
- 6:21Speaker 13: discipline is necessary. You know when when discipline is necessary.
- 6:24Speaker 13: But you know you can't beat up the television because
- 6:27Speaker 13: you need it. So you got to pull out the
- 6:30Speaker 13: power cord and start, you know, showing some some fierce fire,
- 6:35Speaker 13: like you got doller in the house and you tired
- 6:38Speaker 13: and you start breathing fire. So yeah, man, listen, I
- 6:41Speaker 13: don't got my my ass tan a bunch of times, bore,
- 6:45Speaker 13: I got I got tan marks all kind of all
- 6:48Speaker 13: from the whole color realm on my ass. So yeah, man,
- 6:52Speaker 13: he needed his butt whip and uh the TV and
- 6:55Speaker 13: the video games. Man, that's that's uh, that's number one
- 6:58Speaker 13: crack for these some of these kids.
- 7:00Speaker 5: I think that was overdue parenting.
- 7:03Speaker 11: As soon as he said why don't you do it?
- 7:06Speaker 14: All the fun of them would have happened with me.
- 7:08Speaker 11: Seriously, I mean that was overdue.
- 7:10Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 7:10Speaker 11: What I think is, you know, if that works for
- 7:13Speaker 11: some people, like some people, their parents would like that
- 7:17Speaker 11: to them, so that's what they know how to be
- 7:20Speaker 11: to their children. For me, my parents work could be
- 7:25Speaker 11: rough over time, but I choose not to be that
- 7:27Speaker 11: way with my daughters. I learned.
- 7:30Speaker 15: I'm not trying to be funny. I left from the
- 7:31Speaker 15: coffee show, you know, to try to find him a
- 7:34Speaker 15: less violent way of correcting my daughters. But sometimes it
- 7:39Speaker 15: can it might be necessary, but for the most part,
- 7:42Speaker 15: I try. I try to be gentle with my daughters.
- 7:45Speaker 11: Well, the question was, uh, is it good parent is No,
- 7:49Speaker 11: it's great parenting.
- 7:51Speaker 3: He should have corrected him. A male child must be
- 7:55Speaker 3: corrected you can't let him disrespect you as his father.
- 7:59Speaker 3: My father father did it to me, and I had
- 8:01Speaker 3: to do it to my one male child. And you
- 8:04Speaker 3: only do it one time and it'll be corrected. But
- 8:07Speaker 3: you have to have respect. And children got to learn
- 8:10Speaker 3: to honor their father and their mothers. It's that simple.
- 8:14Speaker 5: I think that is clearly a sign of a father
- 8:16Speaker 5: who's out of control.
- 8:17Speaker 14: But for good reason.
- 8:19Speaker 5: There's many things that I see happening there in the background.
- 8:22Speaker 11: One that's frustration.
- 8:24Speaker 5: That's a build up of constantly allowing your children to
- 8:26Speaker 5: disregard your words and your.
- 8:28Speaker 11: Authority and your house and not show you respect.
- 8:31Speaker 5: That's you not making them have priority and chores and
- 8:35Speaker 5: making sure that they are accountable every day. So there's
- 8:38Speaker 5: a lot of failure happening there. For yes, father is
- 8:41Speaker 5: one hundred percent out of control.
- 8:43Speaker 11: What Dad needs to do is that's a clear cut.
- 8:45Speaker 5: Sign of what happens when you allow your kids to
- 8:47Speaker 5: disregard you over and over show you no proper respect.
- 8:51Speaker 5: That's what you get. Kids must be accountable or we're
- 8:55Speaker 5: raising generations of little tiny terrors and criminals. And it's
- 8:59Speaker 5: just a fact. Put the smack down on these kids.
- 9:02Speaker 5: Whatever it takes.
- 9:03Speaker 1: It is the duty show. So father does this.
- 9:07Speaker 7: Every time I come home and the trash is filled up,
- 9:10Speaker 7: I say the same exact thing, like, why is the trash.
- 9:12Speaker 8: Can filled up? And nobody still get out? It literally
- 9:16Speaker 8: takes five seconds.
- 9:17Speaker 16: In case, if you want to right now, well you
- 9:18Speaker 16: do it.
- 9:19Speaker 8: That's not the point, Tom, Why should I do it?
- 9:21Speaker 8: I just worked all day?
- 9:22Speaker 1: What have you done?
- 9:23Speaker 8: You're sitting here playing games right now? Tom? Yeah? Am
- 9:27Speaker 8: I talking to the wall? Do you not hear me
- 9:29Speaker 8: talking to you? I'm talking to you.
- 9:31Speaker 9: What about the stuff that you gotta get done? I
- 9:33Speaker 9: don't want to come home and have to do this.
- 9:35Speaker 8: I'll be getting get done.
- 9:38Speaker 3: That's what you do.
- 9:40Speaker 8: Oh now, how about you do some work? Tom? Huh? Okay?
- 9:48Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 9:49Speaker 8: Does that motivating you?
- 9:50Speaker 2: Now?
- 9:50Speaker 8: Tom?
- 9:50Speaker 3: Sure?
- 9:51Speaker 8: Just let me getting my shoes on and I'll just
- 9:52Speaker 8: I'll head right out. Then next time, can you just
- 9:55Speaker 8: have the done?
- 9:56Speaker 1: I shouldn't have to deal with it when I come home,
- 10:00Speaker 1: we're going to the phones.
- 10:01Speaker 13: That's a sorry son.
- 10:02Speaker 16: Whoever he was talking to his needs to get out
- 10:05Speaker 16: muffles doing nothing all day long, or if he's doing
- 10:09Speaker 16: something now, I think that's the responsibility to get up
- 10:12Speaker 16: and put the trash out. That's what he's supposed to do.
- 10:15Speaker 16: I mean, the man get out there working all day long,
- 10:18Speaker 16: and he's supposed to missed up the drash. He can
- 10:21Speaker 16: do other things too. Shucks.
- 10:23Speaker 13: You know my.
- 10:25Speaker 16: Father was dead going straight right.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Yes, he should have whipped him up.
- 10:30Speaker 14: Now, the father didn't go off. He just got frustrated.
- 10:33Speaker 14: He got tired of his kids sitting at home doing nothing.
- 10:35Speaker 14: I had to do that to my sons, that to him.
- 10:37Speaker 14: I used to look forward to coming in and finding
- 10:39Speaker 14: out they didn't do anything that they were supposed to
- 10:41Speaker 14: be doing night, like cutting the grass, and they're sitting
- 10:43Speaker 14: in the house eating up the cereal all day long,
- 10:45Speaker 14: two o'clock in the afternoon on a beautiful day. So yeah,
- 10:48Speaker 14: I tell him I look forward to coming home put
- 10:50Speaker 14: my foot up in there butt. He didn't bother me
- 10:51Speaker 14: that one bit. After I work, you know, I ain't
- 10:54Speaker 14: work hard. But if I come home and see my
- 10:56Speaker 14: two boys fourteen and eighteen, sitting in doing nothing, and
- 11:00Speaker 14: then the boy gets small with up there him empty
- 11:02Speaker 14: the trash, oh, I'd have put him in the trash can.
- 11:05Speaker 8: No.
- 11:06Speaker 10: I don't think that father went too far and the
- 11:09Speaker 10: reason being is this. I've been a social worker for
- 11:11Speaker 10: almost twenty six years, so definitely he didn't go too far.
- 11:14Speaker 10: But what I will say is his son has been
- 11:18Speaker 10: allowed to act that way with them. He didn't just
- 11:20Speaker 10: get that way.
- 11:21Speaker 8: Children just don't get that way overnight.
- 11:24Speaker 10: And they obviously did not teach him to respect authority.
- 11:27Speaker 10: They did not teach him to do what he needed
- 11:29Speaker 10: to do when he was younger, and so it had
- 11:31Speaker 10: to be that drastic to get him to do something.
- 11:33Speaker 10: So while he didn't go too far, they should have
- 11:36Speaker 10: done a lot more earlier.
- 11:37Speaker 13: My grandmother always.
- 11:38Speaker 10: Said, if you don't make them crow when they're younger,
- 11:41Speaker 10: they'll make you cry when they get older.
- 11:42Speaker 8: So that's what they got. They created that.
- 11:45Speaker 10: So hopefully you know, he learned from this experience and
- 11:47Speaker 10: they can turn it around.
- 11:49Speaker 12: Well.
- 11:50Speaker 17: The father was absolutely within his rights, his house, his rules.
- 11:54Speaker 17: But for me, if I didn't have dishes done when
- 11:58Speaker 17: my mom or my grandmother came home, that was my
- 12:02Speaker 17: ass I did.
- 12:03Speaker 11: If they came.
- 12:04Speaker 12: Home after doing eight to ten hours and I didn't
- 12:07Speaker 12: have my tour done and all I was doing was
- 12:10Speaker 12: sitting around, goofing off and playing games, oh that would
- 12:13Speaker 12: have been my ass. So he's lucky he didn't take
- 12:16Speaker 12: the he didn't get an ass with it. I mean
- 12:18Speaker 12: butt whoope. But that father was nic point blank period.
- 12:21Speaker 12: You ain't doing what I asked you to. And I
- 12:23Speaker 12: got to come home after working hard all day and
- 12:26Speaker 12: you just sitting on your ass. No, they don't go
- 12:29Speaker 12: that way in our house.
- 12:31Speaker 4: I believe the father talked exactly right to the son
- 12:34Speaker 4: the way he's supposed.
- 12:35Speaker 1: To, because he gets a recame ahead and I.
- 12:37Speaker 5: Told him what to do and how to do it
- 12:40Speaker 5: a couple of times before
- 12:41Speaker 4: And he gets back home and it's not done again,
- 12:44Speaker 4: I will be upset also, and I will have the
- 12:47Speaker 4: same way that he did.
