Latest / I Do, Part 2 / Is OK To Punish Your Child On Social Media? Former NFL Star Is Taking Heat For It
Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Hey, the folks, it is Saturday, June twenty seventh. Then, yes,
- 0:06Speaker 1: parenting sometimes means you have to punish. But when does
- 0:10Speaker 1: that cross over into abuse? Well maybe when you post
- 0:15Speaker 1: the punishment online for the world to see. And that
- 0:19Speaker 1: is what has a former NFL pro bowler the center
- 0:23Speaker 1: of everybody's attention right now. With that, welcome to this
- 0:26Speaker 1: episode of Amy and TJ.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Rose.
- 0:28Speaker 1: There's kind of two steps here with this one. You
- 0:31Speaker 1: can just question the punishment itself, and then the other hand,
- 0:35Speaker 1: you question posting it.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Correct So it's about whether or not the discipline fits
- 0:41Speaker 3: the crime.
- 0:41Speaker 4: So people are weighing in on that.
- 0:43Speaker 3: But a lot of folks I feel like there's a
- 0:45Speaker 3: general consensus that, regardless of the answer to the aforementioned question,
- 0:51Speaker 3: it's probably never okay to then put that punishment on
- 0:55Speaker 3: your social media page when you have hundreds of thousands
- 0:58Speaker 3: of followers, because it's as an additional public humiliation.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Is there any upside? You know, I didn't think about
- 1:05Speaker 1: I was asking this question. Is that Can that be
- 1:09Speaker 1: part of the punishment? Yes, I mean publishing.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Look, there are different Look I have heard you and
- 1:15Speaker 3: I both had old school punishment coming up. We both
- 1:19Speaker 3: got spanked until a certain age, and that was just
- 1:23Speaker 3: the way it was. Obviously that's not how people operate now.
- 1:27Speaker 3: But it's one of those things where there's a fine
- 1:31Speaker 3: line between doing something privately and then taking whatever punishment
- 1:36Speaker 3: you've given your child and making it publicly known. I
- 1:39Speaker 3: know one of my friends told me her punishment was
- 1:42Speaker 3: that she had to wear the same outfit to school
- 1:44Speaker 3: all week, basically form of I know, right, But as
- 1:48Speaker 3: a girl in middle school, that is humiliation. That's a
- 1:52Speaker 3: form of public shame to me, just personally speaking, I'm
- 1:56Speaker 3: all about teaching a child a lesson.
- 1:58Speaker 4: I do believe in discipline. I do. I think you
- 2:00Speaker 4: have to. The caption of his post was this is
- 2:03Speaker 4: my son, not my friend.
- 2:04Speaker 3: I actually really subscribe to that. Especially when they're younger.
- 2:08Speaker 3: You can't try to earn their affection. You have to
- 2:10Speaker 3: earn their respect, and that involves punishment. But public shame,
- 2:15Speaker 3: public humiliation to me.
- 2:17Speaker 4: Is a whole other level.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Okay, something we've certainly gotten away from. But hasn't this
- 2:21Speaker 1: been a part of I'm going back to the dunce
- 2:24Speaker 1: cap I mean, I go back to Wow, this what
- 2:29Speaker 1: we used to do. I'm trying to think of me
- 2:31Speaker 1: being in school and things and ways where there was
- 2:34Speaker 1: some outward display where you were humiliated, where you did
- 2:38Speaker 1: have to go sit in a corner, where you did
- 2:39Speaker 1: have to go do things that were shaming. Yeah.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Well, in my elementary school, it was a Catholic elementary
- 2:46Speaker 3: school in the Midwest, there was absolute flogging. There were
- 2:50Speaker 3: punishments with spank My brother got a spanking. You might
- 2:53Speaker 3: have to stay after school and literally do the you know,
- 2:57Speaker 3: shamefully writing whatever your crime was on the chalkboard over again.
- 3:03Speaker 3: I remember one of my punishments as a kid was
- 3:06Speaker 3: to have to stand publicly in a corner with my
- 3:08Speaker 3: nose in the corner. So, yes, not a dunce cap,
- 3:11Speaker 3: but you know, shame, shame, shame. The idea was, yes,
- 3:15Speaker 3: you are, you should feel bad about what you've done.
- 3:20Speaker 1: And I'm sure people have gotten away from that. I'm
- 3:22Speaker 1: sure if some psychologists would tell me why this is
- 3:24Speaker 1: a bad idea, you'd never ever do it. However, it's
- 3:26Speaker 1: not that foreign at least this part of the story
- 3:28Speaker 1: that people are talking about. It maybe isn't that foreign
- 3:32Speaker 1: of an idea to shame even the child, yes, for
- 3:36Speaker 1: their bad behavior, I.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Would say in recent history, I would say the last
- 3:40Speaker 3: generation of parents has not.
- 3:44Speaker 4: I would say as a whole.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Obviously it's a little bit different, but generally speaking, most
- 3:48Speaker 3: parents have gone away from that, Yes, okay, gone away
- 3:52Speaker 3: from that, certainly from any sort of physical punishment, and
- 3:56Speaker 3: I think from any sort of public humiliation or shaming.
- 3:59Speaker 3: It's more like you want your child to learn from
- 4:01Speaker 3: it and grow from it.
- 4:03Speaker 4: And what do you feel about it?
- 4:04Speaker 3: And I know a lot of our parents and maybe
- 4:07Speaker 3: even some of us are rolling our eyes because you
- 4:10Speaker 3: need to just actually accept consequences. And yes, the learning
- 4:14Speaker 3: can come later, the consequences need to come immediately. This
- 4:18Speaker 3: all is being talked about because of a video, a
- 4:21Speaker 3: video that we didn't say his name yet, right, And
- 4:26Speaker 3: you can talk a little bit about who Brandon Marshall
- 4:28Speaker 3: is because I'm not somebody who is. He's not a
- 4:31Speaker 3: household name for me. But this guy is a big
- 4:34Speaker 3: deal within the NFL.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, longtime receiver played the thirteen seasons, I believe
- 4:40Speaker 1: it was. But he was a big time record setting,
- 4:44Speaker 1: league leading, six time pro bowling.
- 4:47Speaker 4: That's a funny favor.
- 4:48Speaker 1: He's that kind of good. He's yes, So he had
- 4:51Speaker 1: a long, long and he was a superstar in the league,
- 4:55Speaker 1: and he got involved with advocacy for mental health and
- 4:58Speaker 1: became a even more engage and prominent member of the
- 5:02Speaker 1: NFL family because of that. So he is within that family.
- 5:05Speaker 1: He's a big deal.
- 5:06Speaker 3: You pulled that just right out of your brain. I
- 5:08Speaker 3: actually had written it down, you nail. At thirteen seasons
- 5:10Speaker 3: in the NFL, he holds the league record for the
- 5:13Speaker 3: most receptions in a single game, that's twenty one catches.
- 5:16Speaker 3: He owns the Denver Broncos single game reception record with eighteen.
- 5:21Speaker 4: So yes, he was a big deal.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Just wanted to kind of like give anyone listening, if
- 5:26Speaker 3: you're like me, some perspective as to who this guy is.
- 5:29Speaker 4: So he posts on.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Instagram this week a video of his eleven year old
- 5:35Speaker 3: son Z and he is running in the middle of
- 5:38Speaker 3: the night and you see Marshall driving slowly next to
- 5:42Speaker 3: him giving him orders like a coach would give a kid.
- 5:45Speaker 4: And we have the audio actually, because so how long
- 5:49Speaker 4: is the video?
- 5:50Speaker 1: This one's only about a minute, but the thing he
- 5:52Speaker 1: posted goes two and a half minutes or something plus.
- 5:54Speaker 1: But yeah, he's just slowly and to visualize, just imagine
- 6:00Speaker 1: seeing a ten year old even seven year old kid
- 6:03Speaker 1: right outside the window. It is black and Brandon Marshall
- 6:07Speaker 1: is shooting. You don't see Brandon, but he's shooting the
- 6:10Speaker 1: video right outside the window, and the clearly the car
- 6:13Speaker 1: is going really slowly. The kid is barely running. It's
- 6:17Speaker 1: not even a fast walk at times, and he's trying
- 6:19Speaker 1: to get him to speed up. But he says, it's
- 6:21Speaker 1: at two in the morning, and this is what it
- 6:24Speaker 1: sounded like.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Discipline, correction is good even two in the morning. We run.
- 6:30Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna put my hands on you, but
- 6:34Speaker 2: I'm training you up to be a warrior. I'm training
- 6:36Speaker 2: you be up to be a leader, to serve, to
- 6:39Speaker 2: have discipline, to be better than me.
- 6:43Speaker 5: Run. Run, let's go. If you don't start running, we're
- 6:49Speaker 5: gonna go three miles. So you better start running because
- 6:53Speaker 5: you don't know when I'm gonna tell you to stop.
- 6:57Speaker 2: You don't want to listen. We run, We work two
- 7:02Speaker 2: in the morning. Let's go.
- 7:04Speaker 3: All right, What is your initial impression as a father
- 7:08Speaker 3: saying those things to his son with him running alongside
- 7:11Speaker 3: him at two o'clock in the morning.
- 7:13Speaker 1: You know what I didn't. I'll be honest with you,
- 7:16Speaker 1: I didn't mind almost a bit of it. I almost
- 7:20Speaker 1: didn't mind a bit of it, I understand, and it's
- 7:26Speaker 1: worthy of a debate or a question or an interest.
- 7:29Speaker 1: A question is probably the more thing. Get curious about
- 7:32Speaker 1: him and his family and his background and how he
- 7:35Speaker 1: grew up, and why get curious, but to get critical
- 7:40Speaker 1: of him and how he goes about it. It might
- 7:43Speaker 1: not be my way and the way I go about it,
- 7:46Speaker 1: But I don't even have much in the way of
- 7:50Speaker 1: criticizing how this guy decides to discipline his kid. We
- 7:53Speaker 1: don't know exactly what the kid did, how many times
- 7:57Speaker 1: it's been an issue like this. Punishment might fit the
- 8:00Speaker 1: crime for all we know, So there's some questions there.
- 8:03Speaker 1: But I think just generally speaking, when you hear someone
- 8:06Speaker 1: say you made a eleven year old kid run at
- 8:09Speaker 1: two in the morning, that to most people would sound inappropriate.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Correct, But I have to say I'm with you when
- 8:15Speaker 3: I watched him, and I saw the love and the reason,
- 8:19Speaker 3: Like you could just tell this as a father who
- 8:20Speaker 3: cared about how his kid turned out, and it's not
- 8:24Speaker 3: some horrific thing to have to have a kid run.
- 8:27Speaker 3: The kid was not running that fast, and I actually
- 8:29Speaker 3: was thinking, look, my kids might see this video and say, Mom,
- 8:32Speaker 3: you weren't too much further away from this, like they're look,
- 8:35Speaker 3: I didn't record them and I didn't post it, and
- 8:38Speaker 3: we can have a conversation about that. But I will
- 8:40Speaker 3: be transparent here and say that just in my kids
- 8:44Speaker 3: wanted to join in some very adventurous activities with me,
- 8:48Speaker 3: and I said, if you do that, you have to
- 8:50Speaker 3: be trained. And they wanted to be you know, just
- 8:53Speaker 3: kids not really working for something. And so I had
- 8:56Speaker 3: to push them and I had to bark at them,
- 8:58Speaker 3: and I had to get tough with them to make
- 9:01Speaker 3: them run, to get them conditioned to do this thing
- 9:03Speaker 3: they said they wanted to do.
- 9:04Speaker 4: So I actually, look.
- 9:05Speaker 3: It wasn't a punishment, but I have pushed my kids
- 9:08Speaker 3: through pain and pass pain where they were angry at me,
- 9:11Speaker 3: and I thought, God, am I being am?
- 9:13Speaker 4: I Is this too much? Have I crossed the line?
- 9:15Speaker 1: That's coaching?
- 9:16Speaker 3: You know what?
- 9:17Speaker 1: I get that that's coaching. What he was doing was parenting.
- 9:20Speaker 1: It did seem different. It seemed like he was teaching
- 9:22Speaker 1: him a life lesson, not an athletic one. You're right, so,
- 9:26Speaker 1: and I don't mind robes I did. I didn't look
- 9:29Speaker 1: at the kid and feel like he was being abused physically.
- 9:32Speaker 1: I felt like he was being punished by sleep being
- 9:35Speaker 1: taken away. That was the most difficult part. Maybe it
- 9:39Speaker 1: was wasn't a school night. I don't know, but I
- 9:42Speaker 1: could see why just on the surface, and I see
- 9:45Speaker 1: why folks would immediately want to take issue but robes.
- 9:48Speaker 1: But we got to this is where I have a
- 9:51Speaker 1: very hard time. Even I have a problem with somebody's parenting,
- 9:54Speaker 1: you will never hear me question it publicly. You are correct,
- 9:59Speaker 1: but part of the steel robes we have to understand
- 10:02Speaker 1: different backgrounds, different families, different upbringings, and different challenges to
- 10:07Speaker 1: where there might be something he needs to teach his kid.
- 10:10Speaker 1: You never thought you need to teach yours exactly.
- 10:13Speaker 4: I and people have brought that up.
- 10:15Speaker 3: We'll get into the comments in a moment, but I
- 10:16Speaker 3: actually just wanted to also put out this thought. Here's
- 10:20Speaker 3: Brandon Marshall. He has three kids. He's divorced from their mom.
- 10:25Speaker 3: It was a twelve year marriage. So he's got three
- 10:27Speaker 3: kids and z is a part of a twins Z
- 10:29Speaker 3: and ZIGGI, eleven year old twins. And he has another son, Zoe,
- 10:32Speaker 3: who's seven. Look, this is a man who cares about
- 10:35Speaker 3: his kids. He's divorced, he could walk away, he could
- 10:38Speaker 3: do a lot of things a lot of dads do.
- 10:40Speaker 3: He is in his kid's life and he cares and
- 10:42Speaker 3: I appreciate it. So I just think that should be noted.
- 10:45Speaker 3: This is a man who is invested in his kid's outcome.
- 10:49Speaker 1: No, I mean, I don't want to go down that
- 10:53Speaker 1: rabbit hole because that was about to. But it's why
- 10:58Speaker 1: can't we applaud Yeah? Right, it's the first thing we do. Right.
- 11:04Speaker 1: We see this, this this athlete, this black father, fathering
- 11:11Speaker 1: hard yep, and he gets criticized. Ah, we should ask
- 11:16Speaker 1: ourselves sometimes why we view things through whatever lens that
- 11:19Speaker 1: you may have. Again, somebody might be out there and again, Rose,
- 11:23Speaker 1: now I would take more of a conversation about him
- 11:26Speaker 1: posting it now that Okay, that's a different one.
- 11:29Speaker 4: I agree with.
- 11:30Speaker 1: That's a different conversation.
- 11:31Speaker 4: Yes, one hundred percent.
- 11:32Speaker 3: So how about that When we come back, we will
- 11:34Speaker 3: get into what most people were saying in their comments,
- 11:38Speaker 3: and it's actually really interesting where they take issue with
- 11:41Speaker 3: what Marshall did. And my favorite part of this whole
- 11:44Speaker 3: story might be Marshall's clap back to some of the
- 11:47Speaker 3: comments and what he told People Magazine when they asked
- 11:51Speaker 3: him about the controversy, and welcome back everyone to this
- 12:03Speaker 3: episode of Amy and TJ. We're talking about former NFL
- 12:06Speaker 3: star Brandon Marshall disciplining his child and posting his form
- 12:12Speaker 3: of punishment online for all to comment on. Yes, he
- 12:15Speaker 3: had his eleven year old son's e out running at
- 12:18Speaker 3: two am because he wasn't listening. I mean, that's the
- 12:21Speaker 3: best we can gather from the video. And look, Brandon
- 12:25Speaker 3: Marshall stands by it. He said, look, I am not
- 12:27Speaker 3: my son's friend, I am his father. And yes, he
- 12:31Speaker 3: did get a lot of reaction. I think it's fair
- 12:35Speaker 3: to say this has become quite the controversy and people
- 12:38Speaker 3: have very different thoughts on not only his decision to
- 12:43Speaker 3: discipline his son in this way, but his decision to
- 12:45Speaker 3: then post the video of the punishment. Yes, I do,
- 12:50Speaker 3: I do so here's one of the first ones. You
- 12:53Speaker 3: should never discipline a child with embarrassment. It messes up
- 12:56Speaker 3: their mental health state. Kids are people too. This is
- 12:59Speaker 3: so lame. It didn't need to be public. If this
- 13:02Speaker 3: is how you wanted to discipline, that's fine. You did
- 13:05Speaker 3: this to show off on the internet. I hope you
- 13:08Speaker 3: take this down and I read some of your comments.
- 13:11Speaker 4: Learn how to.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Take constructive criticism, my guy, Most of us aren't trying to.
- 13:15Speaker 4: Hurt you, just giving good feedback.
- 13:18Speaker 1: And I don't know what the back and forth and
- 13:19Speaker 1: how much stuff? Right, I got some of that the
- 13:22Speaker 1: stuff he's responding with.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Okay, yes, so someone else wrote y'all acting like this
- 13:27Speaker 3: is hurting his son. He's teaching correcting behaviors before the
- 13:31Speaker 3: streets do.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Now. That's uh, that's spoken like a black person.
- 13:38Speaker 4: Yes, and I you know what.
- 13:42Speaker 1: That's he's teaching him the lesson before the streets do.
- 13:46Speaker 3: No.
- 13:47Speaker 1: I was about to say something else, Go.
- 13:48Speaker 4: Ahead, keep on all right? How about this? This was
- 13:50Speaker 4: another one in support.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Did this same thing with my nephew every time he
- 13:55Speaker 3: lacked discipline. He graduated with a three point sixty five GPA,
- 13:58Speaker 3: became an All American best defensive player in Florida. Now
- 14:02Speaker 3: plays at DAU and thanks me for days like this,
- 14:07Speaker 3: So saying keep.
- 14:08Speaker 4: Going this is good. Kids need this sometimes.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Yeah, and the kids some kids don't we know, don't
- 14:14Speaker 1: we teach and punish kids differently based on write their background?
- 14:20Speaker 1: How much they need, how much you might need to
- 14:22Speaker 1: raise your voice to this one versus that all kinds
- 14:24Speaker 1: of stuff. Bro, Yeah, I don't know. It's tough to
- 14:28Speaker 1: criticize anybody's parenting. It's just that's that's just one of
- 14:32Speaker 1: those things baby, you don't touch because you just don't know.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Yeah, well, okay, this next person, well they waited in differently.
- 14:38Speaker 3: They said, this, sir is whack and embarrassing. I have
- 14:42Speaker 3: four young men, all whom I had to discipline at
- 14:44Speaker 3: some point, but I never embarrassed my children, especially in
- 14:47Speaker 3: this era. This has gone viral, so the amount of
- 14:50Speaker 3: jokes and laughs from his peers he has gotten could
- 14:52Speaker 3: shatter his confidence.
- 14:54Speaker 4: Kings.
- 14:54Speaker 3: Real kings move with a stern but fair hand and
- 14:57Speaker 3: always protect the kingdom.
- 14:58Speaker 4: This is completely not needed. But do what you do.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Okay, And you said what you said. I mean, so
- 15:05Speaker 1: you put something out there, then you open yourself up
- 15:07Speaker 1: to criticism, so you have to be willing to take
- 15:09Speaker 1: it when it comes. I get that.
- 15:12Speaker 3: I just and a lot of people said, hey, he'll
- 15:15Speaker 3: thank this for you later. I think what I got here,
- 15:17Speaker 3: thank you.
- 15:18Speaker 1: For this later. Yes, you said it in one of
- 15:20Speaker 1: those weird things. I say, I'll thank this for you later.
- 15:22Speaker 4: Oh, I said, he'll sorry. They said, he'll thank you
- 15:26Speaker 4: for it later.
- 15:27Speaker 3: But I think for me what I read mostly was
- 15:30Speaker 3: people upset that he posted it, but look so okay.
- 15:34Speaker 3: So so, when someone made a comment about how he
- 15:38Speaker 3: should be running with his son, not riding in a
- 15:40Speaker 3: car next to him, Marshall wrote this back, I just
- 15:42Speaker 3: had a procedure on my back.
- 15:44Speaker 4: I can't run.
- 15:44Speaker 3: But if you know me, you know I'm going to
- 15:46Speaker 3: lead from the front of all rooms. And then when
- 15:49Speaker 3: someone else commented this is a family business, not an
- 15:52Speaker 3: Instagram business, he said, that's.
- 15:53Speaker 4: Your way, not my way.
- 15:55Speaker 3: So he kept He went back and responded to a
- 15:59Speaker 3: lot of this criticism. But my favorite of what he
- 16:02Speaker 3: had to say was People magazine asked him to respond
- 16:05Speaker 3: to all the negative reaction, all the folks coming at him.
- 16:08Speaker 4: Here was his response.
- 16:10Speaker 3: I would like to add that I'll be sleeping on
- 16:12Speaker 3: a yacht for the next week in the French riviera.
- 16:14Speaker 3: Oh and Jesus is good.
- 16:19Speaker 1: I didn't like that. I didn't like that.
- 16:24Speaker 4: Y'all mind your business.
- 16:25Speaker 3: But look, he did put it out there, and it
- 16:28Speaker 3: look is there a way in which you could see
- 16:31Speaker 3: he wasn't just trying to get attention for himself or
- 16:34Speaker 3: say look at me and see what I'm doing. Could
- 16:36Speaker 3: it be that he actually was trying to show a
- 16:39Speaker 3: strong black man leading a young black man down the
- 16:42Speaker 3: right path.
- 16:44Speaker 1: And that's just the thing and what he's run into.
- 16:48Speaker 1: People are deciding what path that should be for that
- 16:52Speaker 1: young black man. Who are we to decide other than
- 16:57Speaker 1: his dad? And I just I do not, I have
- 17:01Speaker 1: no I try to find a way to criticize him
- 17:06Speaker 1: for this, and I just I just can't. I wonder, robes,
- 17:11Speaker 1: and we're in a different age of social media. Does
- 17:16Speaker 1: this for us feel like something that maybe it doesn't
- 17:19Speaker 1: feel like to the kid. Does the kid maybe think
- 17:22Speaker 1: it's cute? Does the kid maybe robes in this new era,
- 17:26Speaker 1: maybe this ain't a big deal. We think the kids
- 17:29Speaker 1: being shamed because it's going viral. Maybe the kid is like,
- 17:32Speaker 1: has no idea or doesn't care, or thinks it's cool,
- 17:36Speaker 1: or has a different mindset about social media than we
- 17:39Speaker 1: ever did.
- 17:39Speaker 4: I just don't know that's so true.
- 17:41Speaker 3: And look to Brandon Marshall, I have to say I
- 17:43Speaker 3: do feel a little bit of a kindred spirit because yes,
- 17:46Speaker 3: I didn't put anything up on social media about me
- 17:49Speaker 3: disciplining my children. But when I did publicly discipline my children,
- 17:52Speaker 3: which I did when they misbehaved in public, I.
- 17:54Speaker 4: Had Ava stand up in a corner at a restaurant.
- 17:57Speaker 3: I had Analysco stand up against a building and sit
- 18:00Speaker 3: there with her nose up to the building for five
- 18:02Speaker 3: minutes to calm down because she was misbehaving. I had
- 18:05Speaker 3: people walk by me and tell me that I was
- 18:07Speaker 3: crushing the spirit of my child and I should be
- 18:09Speaker 3: ashamed of myself. I had people commenting on me disciplining
- 18:12Speaker 3: my children in public. But I am of belief that
- 18:16Speaker 3: when a child misbehaves, especially at a certain age, they
- 18:19Speaker 3: need to be disciplined immediately. They don't know when you
- 18:22Speaker 3: have a lapse of time. They don't even connect the
- 18:24Speaker 3: bad act with a consequence.
- 18:26Speaker 4: So that's just how I operate.
- 18:28Speaker 3: But I have been chastised and publicly shamed to my
- 18:32Speaker 3: face by New Yorkers.
- 18:33Speaker 4: God love them.
- 18:34Speaker 3: They always have an opinion when I discipline my child,
- 18:37Speaker 3: and I remember I said to one of them, you'll
- 18:38Speaker 3: thank me for this later because my child is going
- 18:40Speaker 3: to be a well intentioned, well mannered part of society.
- 18:45Speaker 3: So you're welcome and please keep walking. But I do
- 18:49Speaker 3: kind of feel like that for Brandon Marshall.
- 18:51Speaker 1: I do, yes, it's I don't know what I don't know.
- 18:55Speaker 1: It's just this is another one of those things where
- 18:58Speaker 1: I just give somebody a little space and a little grace.
- 19:01Speaker 1: It's okay, and he's doing something a little different. Maybe
- 19:04Speaker 1: be curious about what he's doing and why he's doing it,
- 19:08Speaker 1: versus just being immediately wanting to criticize him for doing it.
- 19:13Speaker 4: That's all right.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Showing a kid there are consequences, and showing a child
- 19:18Speaker 3: that they can push past pain and they're stronger than
- 19:21Speaker 3: they think.
- 19:21Speaker 1: That part. I do love.
- 19:22Speaker 4: These are all good things.
- 19:23Speaker 3: I don't think that that even comes close to child abuse.
- 19:27Speaker 3: And by the way, I love that he's showcasing this
- 19:30Speaker 3: and maybe saying to other parents, you know what, you
- 19:33Speaker 3: can actually call your kids on their stuff and they'll
- 19:36Speaker 3: actually rise up to the occasion. You get what you
- 19:39Speaker 3: expect in life and especially from your kids. I applaud
- 19:43Speaker 3: his message. I'm just going to go out and say it.
- 19:45Speaker 3: I think I have no problem with what Brandon Marshall is.
- 19:49Speaker 1: And again, based on the information we have, we don't
- 19:52Speaker 1: know this guy personally. Nope, we don't know what's going
- 19:54Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. We're just taking what the information
- 19:57Speaker 1: we have and the conversation that's going on.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Okay, just yesterday and we're wrapping up here, but think
- 20:05Speaker 3: about it. We were out to dinner last night outside
- 20:07Speaker 3: beautiful night.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Oh my lord.
- 20:09Speaker 3: Parents let their kids run a monk these almost damaging property,
- 20:16Speaker 3: ringing bells, disrupting the peace, screaming, and they're completely ignoring
- 20:21Speaker 3: their children. And so to me, those parents should be
- 20:25Speaker 3: called out on social media, not Brandon Marshall.
- 20:28Speaker 1: I say those kids were public nuisance. Yes they were.
- 20:33Speaker 1: It was embarrassing at the type of parenting we saw.
- 20:38Speaker 1: And again we can say this now because we don't
- 20:40Speaker 1: nobody knows the parents were talking about, so it was correct,
- 20:43Speaker 1: but they were almost You talk about abuse, yea, those
- 20:47Speaker 1: kids were jumping up and down on city bike stands
- 20:51Speaker 1: that if one slip that kids emergency room abuse, yes,
- 20:55Speaker 1: and I would testify against that parent.
- 20:58Speaker 3: You have this conversation and I said, wow, do those
- 21:01Speaker 3: parents want to tempt having to go to a New
- 21:03Speaker 3: York City emergency room on a Friday night because their
- 21:06Speaker 3: kids are one like millimeter away from literally going away
- 21:12Speaker 3: in an ambulance right now. So yes, I those are
- 21:15Speaker 3: the types of people were probably commenting on Brandon Marshall
- 21:19Speaker 3: because they're appalled that he would dare discipline his child. Anyway,
- 21:25Speaker 3: just wanted to hop on and have that fun conversation everybody.
- 21:28Speaker 4: We always appreciate you listening to us. I may be
- 21:31Speaker 4: Robock alongside TJ. Holmes. We'll talk to you soon
