Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kiki speaking of the younger, the younger generation, the future
of the world. I know that you play a big
role in your nephew's lives. Oh yes, and I know
there was a conversation recently about him needing to apply himself, yes,
and get his grades up.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I don't know why I wasn't invited to this summit,
because you know, you were speaking to the kids of Nepal.
I was, I was. I was trying to inspire the
next generation. Yes, yeah, I'm not sure if I'm the
guy for the job, but I tried. What's sad is,
by the way, a bunch of other people I shouldn't
say much. I guess a couple of the other speakers
have been like very negative about the few, like basically
telling these kids who are spending all this money to
(00:37):
learn about journalism and interviews and being in the media
and being in entertainment whatever else, basically like, I don't
know if I'd do it saying this to these girls.
It's like, I don't know if I would do it
the way that you know, if you're older in this
generation or older in this industry, I don't know if
I would do it the way that you've done it.
But I mean, if I were young looking forward, I
(00:58):
think there's a lot of opportunity. It's just different. It's
it's just it's different than it used to be. The
delivery is different, the you know, the contents different, the
way that people hear the contents different. But like, I
don't know, I mean I would be encouraged. You got
all kinds of different social media platforms. I mean, you
have access to so many people, you know, via via
social media and TikTok and Twitter and podcasting and hell,
(01:20):
you can start your own radio show. You don't even
I mean granted, like you know, we're built into people's cars.
You're kind of forced to listen to us. But there's
a lot of opportunity. I was, I was discouraged by that.
But anyway, so you needed he needs to get its
grades up. What's the situation with this young man?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
So he needs to get his grades up. It's getting
close to the end of the school year. And so
you know, my sister raises him, and she was, you know,
but we all help out. And so I text him
because I knew he was at school getting there, and
I was like, hey, you know, this is the last
couple of weeks. You really needed to turn it up.
We need to get those grades up. So he responds, Okay,
I'm working really hard. And then I started seeing a
(01:56):
little three dots come on.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Because he's got he's got something else.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Is yeah, what else could he have to say? And
he goes, okay, yeah, so about the grades? Can we
make a deal? And I look at Kaitlin like this
man just asked me can we make a deal? Like
the deal is that you either get your grades up
or my foot is up your you know.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So I'm like, can we make a deal.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
So I'm at first I was about to just go off,
and then I was like, you know, I actually want
to hear where his proposition is, Like what what deal?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Why don't you pinch me?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, So that's your job, by the way, it's the
only thing you really got to do in life. That's
it is go to school exactly and apply yourself the
best you can. That's the only responsibility. But you want
to make a deal, right, a young entrepreneur deal.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
So he's like, if I get my grades up, can
me and Michael and CJ go to the concert that's
coming up?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And I had to just sit back in my chair because.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I'm like, he thinks this is like like he's like
he's doing me a favor getting his grades up, you know,
like I'll give you this one something. You scratch my
back and my scratch yours, like like, no, get your
grades up. And I simply responded like, no, there's no deal.
Your grades are your grades, and we'll see about a concert.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
And he just was like, okay, oh yeah, you have
no way of going if you're grades of this bad.
So there's there's that, right, so you could get better
grades and then it maybe yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Actually don't even know if he responded to me. I
gotta check, but yeah, these kids are wild.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Like they are. They just said, I don't know what
they think. This is, like, this is not what you're
thinking of.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
My parents tried that, I mean because I didn't. I
was an average student at best, and they tried it.
I mean there were times where they're like, we'll pay
you for an a. My mom bribed me with you know,
stuff I wanted as a kid, if you can get
this grade on this test, and I mean they tried it.
I think it was desperation. I think it was like,
you know, that's why I think it was. But but
(03:50):
how do we feel about eight five five three five?
How do we feel about incentivizing kids to do better
in school? Like, I mean, if your kids came to
you and pitched you if they were getting c's, and
they're like, you know, I think I can pull off
some b's and a's. However, I need to be on
some kind of a bonus system, you know. I want
(04:12):
to be incentivized for this. You know, if I get
an A, you know, how about It's like, if you
get an A, you can like still have a roof
over your house and we'll like give you food and stuff.
If you get a C, then you can go get
a job. It's amazing. And I will saything to this.
I'm so grateful for my parents now in ways that
I didn't realize I needed to be, because I grew
up with people who were very similar to me or
(04:35):
better off, and so everybody around me had the same
stuff for more and I just assumed that was how
everybody had it because I didn't know better, and so
I wasn't rude to them or mean or disrespectful. I
was very grateful. But looking back now that I'm an
adult and I make money and pay taxes, and I
don't care what you're getting from your parents. If it's
a lot or a little, whatever it is, is probably
(04:56):
a tremendous amount of work and effort for them to
be able to provide. So if you're listening and you're
a kid, like you don't have to really care, but like,
just be grateful, be happy that your parents, you know,
if you don't have to worry about you know, where
you're going to sleep, or you don't have to worry
about where food's gonna come from, or if there's food
in the fridge or whatever, just be happy by that.
And I'm not saying that he guilt anybody. It's just
there's no way that as a kid, you could truly
(05:17):
appreciate it because because you haven't necessarily had to work
for it yet, so you don't know, you know, And
I just I look back now, I think my parents
paid how much from that stupid school that I hated,
Oh my god, And they thought they were that they
were doing their big one, that was the best they
could do, the very best it was available, and I
hated every day. And then on top of that, on
(05:37):
top of all the money pay for that I made
him pay me just to like apply myself because I
mean it's crazy. But so so he's not going to
the concert. There's no direct correlation between like if he
gets a's, like you didn't say to him explicitly, if
you get a's you can go to the show.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Absolutely not. I said, we'll see period taking them. And
that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, he's azer I am.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
And I literally gets everything he wants from me. He
also hits me up like a couple of times a
week just for random cash apps and like.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Oh my god, did ever yea, my funds are low?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, And I'm like, sir, you know you need a job.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well, Calyn, you're twelve years older than your sister thirteen,
so you basically are another mom to her. And so
when your mom says no, then the expectation is that
you'll say.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Yes yeah, or if she doesn't want to get the
wrath of her and she gets a worse wrath from me,
but for some reason she doesn't mind it. But my
favorite thing is when Bella gets in trouble, it's well,
I could be doing X, Y or Z, but I'm not,
so like I'm really giving you guys a gift by
being this good.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So it's like I could be doing hard drugs.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
It's like, no, whatever you're doing that you're getting trouble
for is what we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Oh that's a good one. I could be doing heroin.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
My mouth's like okay, well great, well nice for not Yeah,
thanks for that.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
There's something else.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, I mean I have a neighbor ka down the block.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
That's he's he's obsessed with a fixie, a bicycle, you know,
like a fixi is a style of bike that all
the kids have nowadays.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And thank you for teaching me that it's and I
have one. I have had one for of course you do.
If the kids have one, then Rufio has one well
because I have the money to buy one.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
And he knows I have this bike, and he's just
like he'll come over like, hey, you're not riding the bike.
I was like no, I mean it's I keep it
r right, And he's just like, can I have it?
I was like, can you have what? I was like
my bike that I paid money for. It was like, yeah,
you're not using it. I'm like, what can I have it?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah? That's both. I can't imagine asking one of my neighbors.
I have somebody's like, you know, I really want this.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I was like, then sorry, I was like most some
lawns or.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Something like.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Make some money.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
How much these bikes anywhere from three hundred to like
a thousand bucks.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I'll tell you what I got. Three hundred bucks. Wheth
the work you can do around my house that I
don't want to. That's what I said to him.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
I was like, you know what it was like, if
I can find a cheap enough one, I will buy
it for you. You don't owe me any money, and
you can work like over the summer. If I asked
you for your help, you could help me. It's just
like no way. I'm like, see, no way. I was like,
no way, I'm giving you a free bike.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You're not even his parents, I know, and like and
I was like.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I will help you, and and and he had permission
from his mom, like he's like, yeah, take this deal.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
Because I'm like, he's like, I'm not buying you this bike.
I was like, take this deal. And I was like
here it is, and he like he thought, and he
was like all right, but what about this one?
Speaker 6 (08:36):
And then he's picking up bikes like what I'm saying
I was like.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I found him one.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I was like, here's one for one hundred dollars. This
is solid one.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
He's like, no, what about this one for I was
like three fifty.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Look at this guy, I know. And then the next day,
then the next day he came.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
Back with his tail between his legs, is like, hey,
is that can that offer still said? I was like, no, bro,
that gone you teach, that was on the table. I
hold the offer.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, Andriana, Hi, Hey, Hi, good morning. So what do
we think about yeah, ki Ki's nephew coming back and say, well, oh,
I'd get better grades, but you need to hook it
up with some concert tickets. Like how do we feel
about that? I mean negotiation at this point.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
At this point, we're all living the same lives. Time
coming in so I think, so I have an eighteen
year old, she's a senior now, and then my fifteen
year old he's a freshman. My fifteen year old, like
when he was in seventh and eighth grade, he was
a kid you could have sensivized. And it started small,
like Okay, if you get all a's, i'll give you
a certain amount for the a's, but if you get
any d's on their report card. You don't get anything.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
And then he got to the point.
Speaker 9 (09:44):
This boy was getting straight a's. Okay, this is he
was at one point like a C average student.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
He's getting straight a's.
Speaker 9 (09:50):
So I was like, when you're signed school, yeah, we're
not doing this. I know what you're capable of. Now
just get the grade. And then my eighteen year old
it really did not matter what we did. Like I
could be like, girl, you'll the car like next week
if you get all a's and she's like, okay, we'll see.
It should still come on with these So I think,
one it depends on the student, and then too those
incentives have to change as they get older. But like
(10:10):
for these kids now, I think that sense of entitlement kicks.
He like, well, what are you gonna do for me
at fine, It's like uh huh, just get it done,
Like I don't get anything at all for going to
school every day getting my grades, like I got nothing,
but like, hey, okay, cool, we'll get your graduation.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah yeah, that's the problem. It's like wait a minute,
so I start paying you and now all of a sudden,
you can get a's but you couldn't get them before,
What the hell were you doing before? Yeah? Yeah, right,
thank you for calling. Have a great day, thank you. Yeah.
I think my parents just got desperate. But like, uh,
it's like, dude, can you like please.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Honestly, like there's forty students here, can you at least
finish in the top ten?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, that did not happen. I'm gonna sure he goes
that that. We're lucky. There was a little paper in that.
Then at the end, I wouldn't try to open it.
As soon as they ended, I would think, thank god, Diane,
how you doing? Hey Diane, good morning. Do you do
you pay your kids for grades?
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I do.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
My daughter's seniors is graduating on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
This girl has straight a's, and my son's a freshman,
he also has straight a's. They get thirty dollars per a.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh my god. First of all, congratulations to your daughter
and your family. But so, I mean, if it works,
it works. But like on the flip side, you could argue,
I don't have I mean, I'm paying for everything else,
so why do I have to pay you on top
of it just to do the thing you're supposed to
do the only thing you're supposed to do.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
You know, it's just because I know they're good kids.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
I know I know what they're capable of doing, so
why not give them a little bit of extracts to
get it even more?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And she's got a straight scholarship for college, so hey.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Oh yeah, that's pretty smart.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Hey, and the college is paid for all we have
to pay for her dorm.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
I'm good with that, you know. Okay, that's another side.
Do all this. That's actually that's actually a good investment.
So I mean, if you think of it that way, hey,
I'll tell you what. I'll give you thirty bucks perre
you get all a's for four years, and then you
get college paid for it. Then I just saved one
hundred thousand dollars or whatever. Diane. Maybe you're I think
you're an end of the game here. Thank you, Diane,
have a good day. Than I also think that like
(12:18):
her perspective right there, it's like her kids didn't necessarily
ask for it. It was more like, here's a reward.
It wasn't like what you're I'm not bagging on your nephew,
But it wasn't like I'm getting seeds. I'll go ahead
and get a's if you do it. For me, it
sounds like they were going to apply themselves anyway, and
this was just a reward on top of it, you know,
to keep them motivated. Like, I don't have a problem
(12:40):
with that. I think it would be more like if
I went to my parents and said I can get
the seas to B's for a price.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
She said that, I think I need to take some back.
I think that's a brilliant I too.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
I mean her saved her money and that's brilliant. I
struck up a deal to get my belly button pierce
and that hasn't gotten me anywhere.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
So she's smart.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Her kids go to nice college. Yeah, that's not a
bad idea. Hey, Kirk, how you doing good? That?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Are you good?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I'm doing all right, man. So you grew up in
the nineties A lot of us did too, and your
parents would give you money if you did well, that's great.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah, but they'd do it for honor rolls. So like
every quarter we'd get twenty bucks, which back then was
pretty decent. But I grew up with my twin brother,
but uh, he didn't really care about the money. So yeah,
so I always got the money.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, did he get on the honor roller, and he
just didn't really even bother.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
No, he didn't even bother ye, but we didn't switch
classes and stuff. So I'd help him out a little bit.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Oh there you go, There you go. Thank you have
a good day. I love you, guys. Hey love me too, man,
Thanks for calling. Hey, kaylea good morning. Hey. You're all
for paying the kids to go to school?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Yeah, because I was one of them kids that would
do that because my mama when I was in high school,
my mama head brad me with Justin Bieber tickets and
I got on a roll.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I mean these are Justin Bieber tickets. Okay, I mean
like I can understand why you would apply yourself for that. Yeah,
I would have shared which tour was that?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Do you remember?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I was believed tour two thousand so good that.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
It's worth on a road event were Yeah, it were?
Speaker 9 (14:23):
I think my friend it was one hundred and seventeen dollars.
We had got them off Bibest seats and it was
section three.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Guy.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Hey, wait to apply yourself to Look where it got
you justin Bieber.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
This is how you.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
Know that it one hundred percent happens really good. Because
my when I used to work at Chipotle. My manager
was like, if you get done at ten thirty.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Mind you the place closed at ten.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
She said, if you get done at ten thirty, I'll
buy you some I'll buy you a milkshake.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
And I got done at ten twenty.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Fast.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
There you go. But don't you try and eat that
chicken out. That's for everybody else. Have more scoops, please,
thank you, have a good day. Chapotle has been getting
killed by the way social media for being kind of skimmy.
I went yesterday. It doesn't seem to be hurting their
business whatsoever. That place was packed, so but I did
look at it. I look at the portion side as
(15:19):
the guy was doing it. I'm like, I noticed everybody
in line was like, give me more, give me more.
So I feel like everyone's going in there like it's
like when you go to the car dealership and you
walk in there like ready to swing. I feel like
everyone's going to Chipotle now like, oh, you ain't gonna
get me.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
It's like a thing on TikTok where it's it's like
you get to the meat portion and if they don't
give you a big enough scoop, you're supposed to walk
out and just leave them with the bull or whatever.
It's all over.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
TikTok.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
I'm not leaving that brito them too.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
No, And that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, you say, all.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Right, let me get rice, and then let me get beans,
and then what kind of meat you want?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
They'd be like steak.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
If they give you like a skimpy thing, you're supposed
to be like, nah, I'm good and then just leave.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You don't have to do that.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
At Canobo. Let me tell you I has for extra rice.
They kind of look at me. I'm like, that's the
cheapest thing, the thing you give me all the right,
fill it with the rice. It's the best part. Like
what are you mad about? The cheapest thing? And it's
not even your rice? Probably?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I mean people walking out now.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
That's that's rue. I can only imagine if I were
the person behind me, like what you doing with that?
Speaker 9 (16:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Exactly, Like I just added to my burrito and I'm good.
They left that behind me. That's a wounded soldier. You
must save that
Kiki speaking of the younger, the younger generation, the future
of the world. I know that you play a big
role in your nephew's lives. Oh yes, and I know
there was a conversation recently about him needing to apply himself, yes,
and get his grades up.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I don't know why I wasn't invited to this summit,
because you know, you were speaking to the kids of Nepal.
I was, I was. I was trying to inspire the
next generation. Yes, yeah, I'm not sure if I'm the
guy for the job, but I tried. What's sad is,
by the way, a bunch of other people I shouldn't
say much. I guess a couple of the other speakers
have been like very negative about the few, like basically
telling these kids who are spending all this money to
(00:37):
learn about journalism and interviews and being in the media
and being in entertainment whatever else, basically like, I don't
know if I'd do it saying this to these girls.
It's like, I don't know if I would do it
the way that you know, if you're older in this
generation or older in this industry, I don't know if
I would do it the way that you've done it.
But I mean, if I were young looking forward, I
(00:58):
think there's a lot of opportunity. It's just different. It's
it's just it's different than it used to be. The
delivery is different, the you know, the contents different, the
way that people hear the contents different. But like, I

all kinds of different social media platforms. I mean, you

I mean granted, like you know, we're built into people's cars.
You're kind of forced to listen to us. But there's
a lot of opportunity. I was, I was discouraged by that.
But anyway, so you needed he needs to get its
grades up. What's the situation with this young man?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
So he needs to get his grades up. It's getting
close to the end of the school year. And so
you know, my sister raises him, and she was, you know,
but we all help out. And so I text him
because I knew he was at school getting there, and
I was like, hey, you know, this is the last
couple of weeks. You really needed to turn it up.
We need to get those grades up. So he responds, Okay,
I'm working really hard. And then I started seeing a
(01:56):
little three dots come on.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Because he's got he's got something else.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Is yeah, what else could he have to say? And
he goes, okay, yeah, so about the grades? Can we
make a deal? And I look at Kaitlin like this
man just asked me can we make a deal? Like
the deal is that you either get your grades up
or my foot is up your you know.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So I'm like, can we make a deal.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
So I'm at first I was about to just go off,
and then I was like, you know, I actually want
to hear where his proposition is, Like what what deal?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Why don't you pinch me?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, So that's your job, by the way, it's the
only thing you really got to do in life. That's
it is go to school exactly and apply yourself the
best you can. That's the only responsibility. But you want
to make a deal, right, a young entrepreneur deal.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
So he's like, if I get my grades up, can
me and Michael and CJ go to the concert that's
coming up?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And I had to just sit back in my chair because.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I'm like, he thinks this is like like he's like
he's doing me a favor getting his grades up, you know,
like I'll give you this one something. You scratch my
back and my scratch yours, like like, no, get your
grades up. And I simply responded like, no, there's no deal.
Your grades are your grades, and we'll see about a concert.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
And he just was like, okay, oh yeah, you have
no way of going if you're grades of this bad.
So there's there's that, right, so you could get better
grades and then it maybe yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Actually don't even know if he responded to me. I
gotta check, but yeah, these kids are wild.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Like they are. They just said, I don't know what
they think. This is, like, this is not what you're
thinking of.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
My parents tried that, I mean because I didn't. I
was an average student at best, and they tried it.
I mean there were times where they're like, we'll pay
you for an a. My mom bribed me with you know,
stuff I wanted as a kid, if you can get
this grade on this test, and I mean they tried it.
I think it was desperation. I think it was like,
you know, that's why I think it was. But but
(03:50):
how do we feel about eight five five three five?
How do we feel about incentivizing kids to do better
in school? Like, I mean, if your kids came to
you and pitched you if they were getting c's, and
they're like, you know, I think I can pull off
some b's and a's. However, I need to be on
some kind of a bonus system, you know. I want
(04:12):
to be incentivized for this. You know, if I get
an A, you know, how about It's like, if you
get an A, you can like still have a roof
over your house and we'll like give you food and stuff.
If you get a C, then you can go get
a job. It's amazing. And I will saything to this.
I'm so grateful for my parents now in ways that
I didn't realize I needed to be, because I grew
up with people who were very similar to me or
(04:35):
better off, and so everybody around me had the same
stuff for more and I just assumed that was how
everybody had it because I didn't know better, and so
I wasn't rude to them or mean or disrespectful. I
was very grateful. But looking back now that I'm an
adult and I make money and pay taxes, and I
don't care what you're getting from your parents. If it's
a lot or a little, whatever it is, is probably
(04:56):
a tremendous amount of work and effort for them to
be able to provide. So if you're listening and you're
a kid, like you don't have to really care, but like,
just be grateful, be happy that your parents, you know,
if you don't have to worry about you know, where
you're going to sleep, or you don't have to worry
about where food's gonna come from, or if there's food
in the fridge or whatever, just be happy by that.
And I'm not saying that he guilt anybody. It's just
there's no way that as a kid, you could truly
(05:17):
appreciate it because because you haven't necessarily had to work
for it yet, so you don't know, you know, And
I just I look back now, I think my parents
paid how much from that stupid school that I hated,
Oh my god, And they thought they were that they
were doing their big one, that was the best they
could do, the very best it was available, and I
hated every day. And then on top of that, on
(05:37):
top of all the money pay for that I made
him pay me just to like apply myself because I
mean it's crazy. But so so he's not going to
the concert. There's no direct correlation between like if he
gets a's, like you didn't say to him explicitly, if
you get a's you can go to the show.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Absolutely not. I said, we'll see period taking them. And
that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, he's azer I am.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
And I literally gets everything he wants from me. He
also hits me up like a couple of times a
week just for random cash apps and like.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Oh my god, did ever yea, my funds are low?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, And I'm like, sir, you know you need a job.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well, Calyn, you're twelve years older than your sister thirteen,
so you basically are another mom to her. And so
when your mom says no, then the expectation is that
you'll say.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Yes yeah, or if she doesn't want to get the
wrath of her and she gets a worse wrath from me,
but for some reason she doesn't mind it. But my
favorite thing is when Bella gets in trouble, it's well,
I could be doing X, Y or Z, but I'm not,
so like I'm really giving you guys a gift by
being this good.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So it's like I could be doing hard drugs.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
It's like, no, whatever you're doing that you're getting trouble
for is what we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Oh that's a good one. I could be doing heroin.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
My mouth's like okay, well great, well nice for not Yeah,
thanks for that.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
There's something else.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, I mean I have a neighbor ka down the block.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
That's he's he's obsessed with a fixie, a bicycle, you know,
like a fixi is a style of bike that all
the kids have nowadays.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And thank you for teaching me that it's and I
have one. I have had one for of course you do.
If the kids have one, then Rufio has one well
because I have the money to buy one.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
And he knows I have this bike, and he's just
like he'll come over like, hey, you're not riding the bike.
I was like no, I mean it's I keep it
r right, And he's just like, can I have it?
I was like, can you have what? I was like
my bike that I paid money for. It was like, yeah,
you're not using it. I'm like, what can I have it?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah? That's both. I can't imagine asking one of my neighbors.
I have somebody's like, you know, I really want this.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I was like, then sorry, I was like most some
lawns or.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Something like.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Make some money.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
How much these bikes anywhere from three hundred to like
a thousand bucks.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I'll tell you what I got. Three hundred bucks. Wheth
the work you can do around my house that I
don't want to. That's what I said to him.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
I was like, you know what it was like, if
I can find a cheap enough one, I will buy
it for you. You don't owe me any money, and
you can work like over the summer. If I asked
you for your help, you could help me. It's just
like no way. I'm like, see, no way. I was like,
no way, I'm giving you a free bike.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You're not even his parents, I know, and like and
I was like.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I will help you, and and and he had permission
from his mom, like he's like, yeah, take this deal.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
Because I'm like, he's like, I'm not buying you this bike.
I was like, take this deal. And I was like
here it is, and he like he thought, and he
was like all right, but what about this one?
Speaker 6 (08:36):
And then he's picking up bikes like what I'm saying
I was like.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I found him one.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I was like, here's one for one hundred dollars. This
is solid one.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
He's like, no, what about this one for I was
like three fifty.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Look at this guy, I know. And then the next day,
then the next day he came.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
Back with his tail between his legs, is like, hey,
is that can that offer still said? I was like, no, bro,
that gone you teach, that was on the table. I
hold the offer.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, Andriana, Hi, Hey, Hi, good morning. So what do
we think about yeah, ki Ki's nephew coming back and say, well, oh,
I'd get better grades, but you need to hook it
up with some concert tickets. Like how do we feel
about that? I mean negotiation at this point.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
At this point, we're all living the same lives. Time
coming in so I think, so I have an eighteen
year old, she's a senior now, and then my fifteen
year old he's a freshman. My fifteen year old, like
when he was in seventh and eighth grade, he was
a kid you could have sensivized. And it started small,
like Okay, if you get all a's, i'll give you
a certain amount for the a's, but if you get
any d's on their report card. You don't get anything.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
And then he got to the point.
Speaker 9 (09:44):
This boy was getting straight a's. Okay, this is he
was at one point like a C average student.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
He's getting straight a's.
Speaker 9 (09:50):
So I was like, when you're signed school, yeah, we're
not doing this. I know what you're capable of. Now
just get the grade. And then my eighteen year old
it really did not matter what we did. Like I
could be like, girl, you'll the car like next week
if you get all a's and she's like, okay, we'll see.
It should still come on with these So I think,
one it depends on the student, and then too those
incentives have to change as they get older. But like
(10:10):
for these kids now, I think that sense of entitlement kicks.
He like, well, what are you gonna do for me
at fine, It's like uh huh, just get it done,
Like I don't get anything at all for going to
school every day getting my grades, like I got nothing,
but like, hey, okay, cool, we'll get your graduation.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah yeah, that's the problem. It's like wait a minute,
so I start paying you and now all of a sudden,
you can get a's but you couldn't get them before,
What the hell were you doing before? Yeah? Yeah, right,
thank you for calling. Have a great day, thank you. Yeah.
I think my parents just got desperate. But like, uh,
it's like, dude, can you like please.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Honestly, like there's forty students here, can you at least
finish in the top ten?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, that did not happen. I'm gonna sure he goes
that that. We're lucky. There was a little paper in that.
Then at the end, I wouldn't try to open it.
As soon as they ended, I would think, thank god, Diane,
how you doing? Hey Diane, good morning. Do you do
you pay your kids for grades?
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I do.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
My daughter's seniors is graduating on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
This girl has straight a's, and my son's a freshman,
he also has straight a's. They get thirty dollars per a.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh my god. First of all, congratulations to your daughter
and your family. But so, I mean, if it works,
it works. But like on the flip side, you could argue,
I don't have I mean, I'm paying for everything else,
so why do I have to pay you on top
of it just to do the thing you're supposed to
do the only thing you're supposed to do.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
You know, it's just because I know they're good kids.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
I know I know what they're capable of doing, so
why not give them a little bit of extracts to
get it even more?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And she's got a straight scholarship for college, so hey.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Oh yeah, that's pretty smart.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Hey, and the college is paid for all we have
to pay for her dorm.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
I'm good with that, you know. Okay, that's another side.
Do all this. That's actually that's actually a good investment.
So I mean, if you think of it that way, hey,
I'll tell you what. I'll give you thirty bucks perre
you get all a's for four years, and then you
get college paid for it. Then I just saved one
hundred thousand dollars or whatever. Diane. Maybe you're I think
you're an end of the game here. Thank you, Diane,
have a good day. Than I also think that like
(12:18):
her perspective right there, it's like her kids didn't necessarily
ask for it. It was more like, here's a reward.
It wasn't like what you're I'm not bagging on your nephew,
But it wasn't like I'm getting seeds. I'll go ahead
and get a's if you do it. For me, it
sounds like they were going to apply themselves anyway, and
this was just a reward on top of it, you know,
to keep them motivated. Like, I don't have a problem
(12:40):
with that. I think it would be more like if
I went to my parents and said I can get
the seas to B's for a price.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
She said that, I think I need to take some back.
I think that's a brilliant I too.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
I mean her saved her money and that's brilliant. I
struck up a deal to get my belly button pierce
and that hasn't gotten me anywhere.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
So she's smart.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Her kids go to nice college. Yeah, that's not a
bad idea. Hey, Kirk, how you doing good? That?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Are you good?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I'm doing all right, man. So you grew up in
the nineties A lot of us did too, and your
parents would give you money if you did well, that's great.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah, but they'd do it for honor rolls. So like
every quarter we'd get twenty bucks, which back then was
pretty decent. But I grew up with my twin brother,
but uh, he didn't really care about the money. So yeah,
so I always got the money.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, did he get on the honor roller, and he
just didn't really even bother.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
No, he didn't even bother ye, but we didn't switch
classes and stuff. So I'd help him out a little bit.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Oh there you go, There you go. Thank you have
a good day. I love you, guys. Hey love me too, man,
Thanks for calling. Hey, kaylea good morning. Hey. You're all
for paying the kids to go to school?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Yeah, because I was one of them kids that would
do that because my mama when I was in high school,
my mama head brad me with Justin Bieber tickets and
I got on a roll.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I mean these are Justin Bieber tickets. Okay, I mean
like I can understand why you would apply yourself for that. Yeah,
I would have shared which tour was that?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Do you remember?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I was believed tour two thousand so good that.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
It's worth on a road event were Yeah, it were?
Speaker 9 (14:23):
I think my friend it was one hundred and seventeen dollars.
We had got them off Bibest seats and it was
section three.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Guy.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Hey, wait to apply yourself to Look where it got
you justin Bieber.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
This is how you.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
Know that it one hundred percent happens really good. Because
my when I used to work at Chipotle. My manager
was like, if you get done at ten thirty.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Mind you the place closed at ten.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
She said, if you get done at ten thirty, I'll
buy you some I'll buy you a milkshake.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
And I got done at ten twenty.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Fast.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
There you go. But don't you try and eat that
chicken out. That's for everybody else. Have more scoops, please,
thank you, have a good day. Chapotle has been getting
killed by the way social media for being kind of skimmy.
I went yesterday. It doesn't seem to be hurting their
business whatsoever. That place was packed, so but I did
look at it. I look at the portion side as
(15:19):
the guy was doing it. I'm like, I noticed everybody
in line was like, give me more, give me more.
So I feel like everyone's going in there like it's
like when you go to the car dealership and you
walk in there like ready to swing. I feel like
everyone's going to Chipotle now like, oh, you ain't gonna
get me.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
It's like a thing on TikTok where it's it's like
you get to the meat portion and if they don't
give you a big enough scoop, you're supposed to walk
out and just leave them with the bull or whatever.
It's all over.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
TikTok.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
I'm not leaving that brito them too.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
No, And that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, you say, all.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Right, let me get rice, and then let me get beans,
and then what kind of meat you want?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
They'd be like steak.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
If they give you like a skimpy thing, you're supposed
to be like, nah, I'm good and then just leave.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You don't have to do that.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
At Canobo. Let me tell you I has for extra rice.
They kind of look at me. I'm like, that's the
cheapest thing, the thing you give me all the right,
fill it with the rice. It's the best part. Like
what are you mad about? The cheapest thing? And it's
not even your rice? Probably?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I mean people walking out now.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
That's that's rue. I can only imagine if I were
the person behind me, like what you doing with that?
Speaker 9 (16:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Exactly, Like I just added to my burrito and I'm good.
They left that behind me. That's a wounded soldier. You
must save that
