Speaker 1 (00:00):
Eight one three five is how you get a hold
of friends show you can call him text the same number. Caitlin,
what how did this come to mind about your parents
teaching you a lesson?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Okay, so my friend Ashley and I have just similar dads.
I don't know how else to put it. They're kind
of hard asses, but they they parent differently than moms
I feel like. And so we were talking about the
worst lesson that our dad's taught us the hard way.
And my dad was trying to teach me to listen
(00:27):
because I had a very big issue with listening and
he knew that I don't listen. So how he did
this was we ordered sushi one night and he looked
at me. He brought me over to the wasabi and said, Kaylin,
do not eat that.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
It is very hot, it is spicy.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Do not.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And he knows I don't like being told what not
to do.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
He went in his bedroom.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
He heard the loudest scream, he said he's ever heard
I put the whole wasabi in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
And then for Ashley, she got caught drinking and so
her dad said, instead of like, you know, punishing her classically,
he sat her down and he poured a glass of
scotch and said, all right, if you can finish this
glass of scotch right now, I'll let you drink. You
think you're old enough to drink, I'll let you drink.
She puked, but she tried.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
She tried.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, And so then she never got caught drinking again.
She still did, but she didn't get caught.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
How did your parents teach you a lesson? That's what
I want to know, because, and I'm sure my parents
will appreciate me telling the story. But we used to
go we grew up in Arizona. We used to go
to Mexico for like spring break or whatever. And I
don't know, maybe twelve thirteen, fourteen, they'd start letting me
drink a little bit on these trips, cause it's like
we're in a resert, we're not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
No one's obviously driving. I don't have a driver's license, and.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I think they sort of just would let me take
it a little further and a little further and a
little further. And I can remember one night just getting
hammered at like fourteen at a hotel. I mean I
was and okay, so I was up all night I
was sick, you know whatever, parents checking in on me.
I was sick. Next morning, eight o'clock, get up, come
on with vacation. We're going You're not sleeping all day.
(02:01):
We paid for this place, come on. And that was
their thing, was like, you're not wasting your whole day
because you're a drunk or whatever. But the thing, here's
the interesting thing is the probably there are probably people
going that's crazy, too young for that whatever. One we
couldn't go anywhere. Two I was always under their supervision.
And three I was one of the few people that
(02:22):
went to college and on the first night didn't blow
it out to the point where like my parents probably
needed to come get me out of jail or something.
It's like there was it wasn't taboo. Like I had
already sort of done it under their supervision to us,
and I could only do it on vacation. I couldn't
do I couldn't like crack a beer at the house
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
People thought this was a crazy parenting tactic. But the
truth is, like I just didn't go nuts when I
had the chance to, because it just like I didn't
have to, you know, I mean, I don't know. I
kind of knew what my limits were already, and then
when I went off into the real world, like of course,
I still pushed them, but it wasn't like, oh my god,
this is this was all forbidden to me, so let
(02:59):
me do everything now. And a lot of people I
went to college with did first time away from home,
first time out of their parents supervision, first time ever, drinking,
first time you know, going on dating, doing whatever with
other people. And then and they went they took it
too far? Did your parents ever make you? Did they ever?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Because you rupil? You were like you were a criminal.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
For me, they never helped me any in any way,
you know what I'm saying. They never failed me out.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
My parents never helped.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
You ously, Like like a lot of my friends were
doing the same things I was doing, and their parents
were like, oh, let me help you pay for the lawyer,
let me do this. I guess that was my lesson,
Like I did the crime, I've got to do the
time right. So I mean because in our local like
if you ever got pulled over or arrested, in our
local newspaper they would put out once a week. There
was like police reports, like like Kevin age eighteen from
(03:48):
this block, you know, got arrested. It's like the reports
were there, and it's just like you just had to
live with it. But never once did My parents were like,
all right, let me bail you out again, this and that,
like you you did it, you gotta, you gotta, you
gotta due to time.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So right, what about rule follower Jason Brown over here? Ooh,
so did you ever get in trouble? I did?
Speaker 6 (04:06):
This was really bad. So my grandma got me a
brand new car when I sixteen. When I turned sixteen,
and I decided to go on this road that had
a lot of potholes and completely total the car, like
rip the whole bottom out of it, like the accle
went flying, the tire was in someone's front yard, like whatever.
My parents were pissed, obviously, right, So their punishment to
(04:28):
me so that I understood, you know, the value of
nice things was I had to drive a nineteen ninety
two opal colored Ford Explorer nice with no air conditioning
all summer and then start going to class. And my
dad refused to like put free on in it or whatever.
He's like, no, you're going to learn, you're driving, and
you're paying for the guests because you're driving the expressway
(04:49):
with this giant car. So that was their way of
being like, you need to value what people get you.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I got. How did your parents break you up? The
c mob? The girl gain? You remember what was the
seventh grade?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yes, you know. I decided to change my life on
my own with that. The highest one was trying to
wear heels as like a twelve year old. I really
wanted to wear heels really really bad, and my sister
kept saying, you're too young for that, You're too young, and.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I was like, but all the girls are wearing the wedges.
I want to wear the wedge. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
So she let me wear the wedges to church and
I completely fail in front of the church, in front
of everybody in my little wedges and I had scratches
all over my face from falling. And yeah, so I
don't wear wedges to this day.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
But still I got my drive.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
My parents let me drive when I was sixteen, and
the thing was like, don't get a speeding ticket. If
you get a speeding ticket, all because I was on
their insurance. Of course, like all of our insurance is screwed.
Like I don't even know if that's true. But anyway,
it was like, don't get a speeding ticket. That's irresponsible.
I got a speeding ticket when I was like seventeen,
coming back from work in the middle of the night
at Blockbuster Video.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
So I didn't tell them.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I booked the driver's ad Yeah, because you could get
the points.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
The points.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Didn't you pay it and get the points you go
to court or you could go to the class like
all day Saturday, and then it went away. So I
booked the class, paid for the class, took the class
all without them knowing. And then I sat them down
and I said, guys, I have to tell you something.
I got a speeding ticket, and and my mom starts
to load up, like she you know what I mean,
(06:22):
you can tell you know when your parents are about
to go.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
She starts to load up.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And then I was like, but I paid for the
drivers that I took the drivers, that it's taken care of,
and you could her mouth was open, like her hand
was up and an oh, like what can you say?
Like I just I got ahead of the whole thing,
because you're gonna go to drivers, I already did. You're
gonna pay for I already did, right, Oh, well, don't
do that.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
That was it. That was it though. And my sister,
on the other hand, here we go, My girl lied
all the time, didn't take anything. She probably got fifty
speeding tickets. Guys in the house.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Nobody cared about anything when my that's the difference between
the first and the second, especially when they're eight years apart.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Oh don't I know it.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
But my sister, she wouldn't have done that.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
She would have like forgotten about it, hope nobody ever
found out, and then like the sheriff would have shown
up to arrest her, you know, because she like threw
the ticket away a kicky over here, y right, yeah,
hoping that it never you know, that nothing would ever
happen with it, and then they'd have to hire Johnny
Cochran to come and like get her out of prison.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
That's what my sister would have done, and I love
her for it.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Text.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
When I was about ten, I found a pack of
old cigarettes in my parents' cupboard. My mom said, you
want to smoke them, go ahead, but you suck as
hard as you can, real hard. So I did it,
lost it along on the back steps that day, and
she said, if you ever want to smoke that's what
it feels like cured. Yeah, I had my own keys
to the house and other text but I would still
(07:51):
sneak out after curfew. So one night my parents hired
a twenty four hour locksmith and change the locks to
the house.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah. I love that. I love it. See that is
a good one
