1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: It's awkward. It's Tuesday.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Different radio shows excel at different types of content. Okay,

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: some shows are really good with health and wellness tips.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Other ones don't judge the other shows. Yeah yeah, other

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: ones focus more on true crime stories. But today we're

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: honing in on our wheelhouse children's birthday party drama. That's

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: where we thrive. And I bring it up because there's

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: a story that's actually been going viral on TikTok lately.

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you guys have heard about it yet,

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: but one of the people who was directly involved reached

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: out to us saying, hey, I could really really use

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: your help.

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 3: Interesting that children's birthdays aren't in my algorithm.

15
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: Jeffrey, Yeah, I don't know why. Let's talk to him though.

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: His name is Richard. Richard, welcome to the showy.

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 4: Doing apparently better than you if you're viral on TikTok

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 4: for it.

19
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 5: Ish Well, Okay, I'm not the one viral, but my

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 5: daughter was a part of it.

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: Oh, so's not as good as your daughter. Yeah, not

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: as bad as your daughter. Yeah, but it's not a

23
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: good slam yea. Yeah, we shouldn't be slamming our listeners

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: as soon as they ask us for help. Sorry about that, Richard,

25
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: tell us, what's going on? You were involved with this

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: birthday drama?

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 5: How well, my daughter's seven years old and she was

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 5: invited to this birthday party. So basically I had to

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 5: drop her off with the mall, like in the food court.

30
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 5: And what I understood that the plan was they were

31
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 5: gonna go have lunch and do party activities and when

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 5: then the group was going to head over to build

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 5: a bear.

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: Just a bunch of seven year olds freely roaming mall

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: figuring it out.

36
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: Oh, it's like a build a bear party.

37
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 5: The birthday girl's mom was taking care of.

38
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 4: How don't you love that age when your kids finally

39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 4: get to the drop off parties, you don't have to

40
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,279
Speaker 4: stay any longer.

41
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a great I'll be back in a

42
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 5: few hours. It's perfect.

43
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, sounds sounds like a good plan.

44
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah. So I go home and I come back

45
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 5: in a few hours and there's my daughter just in tears.

46
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: What I feared she's crying.

47
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: Oh, no, pretty standard for post seven year old birthday.

48
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 3: Party, though there's always one kid at the party.

49
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it sucks that it's yours.

50
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: I get it.

51
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 5: Well, it was more than my kid, it was other

52
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 5: kids too.

53
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: They were all up all gone, Wow, what the heck happened?

54
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 6: Did Jeff show up and do a parody song in

55
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 6: the middle of the party laughing?

56
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: Then what happened?

57
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 5: So I got her in the car and asked what happened?

58
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 5: She said that the mom forced all the girls to

59
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 5: give their build of bears to the birthday girl.

60
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 4: No way, wait, what like they went to a party

61
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: and they made their own build a bear without knowing

62
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: it was for the birthday girl.

63
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: Thew's rude.

64
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 6: I'm not even involved in the bear world or children's world,

65
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 6: and I want to fight everyone right now.

66
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: Why would the little birthday girl need bear eleven stuffed animals?

67
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: Like?

68
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: Why would the mom do that?

69
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 5: That's what I was asked to my So I contacted

70
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 5: another mom who was involved. Yeah, and she she couldn't

71
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 5: believe it either. She was really upset. Wow.

72
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: See, okay, so this is like the normal reaction.

73
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: Everyone's agreed, blindsided all of the parents and the children

74
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: there obviously.

75
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 3: I mean, what was the reason? Did you ever get

76
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: to the bottom of that?

77
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 5: Well, what she said was that the mom wanted each

78
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 5: girl to build a bear so that like her daughter

79
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 5: would remember each one of them by the bear that

80
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 5: they built. They built for her.

81
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: Was that was that laid out in like the invitation

82
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: that all the kids were going to be building a

83
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: bear for the birthday girl.

84
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 5: No, no, my daughter thought she was getting the bear

85
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 5: to bring home. I mean, okay, we already gave a gift.

86
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: That is so weird. Okay, I mean you didn't pay

87
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: for it, right, Like the mom.

88
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 2: Paid for that question expensive?

89
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: The birthday mom paid for everybody to.

90
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 5: Make these Yeah, she did pay for the build of bear. Period.

91
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: Well the birthday mom paid for the cake too, I'm assuming,

92
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: and she gave someone that away, so at least she's

93
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: kind of generous.

94
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: Okay, look, let me advocate really quick. Think about it.

95
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: From the birthday girl, every one of those bears. Every

96
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: night she goes to.

97
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 6: Bed, it's like, this is Sarah's bear, this is Brooks bear,

98
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 6: this is just her friends.

99
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: And that's just wanting to throw that out there.

100
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: But how is a mother? Could you see all these

101
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: children crying? I like, this is the choice, this is

102
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: the choice I'm making.

103
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I see.

104
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 5: Where maybe I think exactly what Brook thinks. All these

105
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 5: girls had to stand and wine, they to make each bear,

106
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 5: and then they were all the bears were ripped away

107
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 5: from them at the end.

108
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 6: With a crying line of kids like here you it's

109
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 6: so ridiculous.

110
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, So I have the lady's number. I want

111
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 5: to contact her.

Speaker 2: Are you gonna call?

113
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: We want to call the mom of the birthday girl

Speaker 3: the bear bag?

119
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 5: That would be a cherry on top. I don't expect it,

120
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 5: but I just need her to know what she did

121
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 5: was wrong.

122
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:04,960

00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: tell her it's not cool that she made all of

00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: the children at the party build build a bear's and

129
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,840

00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 5: This is she's a build she's a build a bear thief.

131
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 5: I want it, Okay, not sure if.

132
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: The name calling will work. But we'll have some ideas

133
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: for you when we come back.

134
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 5: I'm calling you. I can't be trusted, all right.

135
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: But remember when you're looking to call, when we'd come

136
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: back for your awkward Tuesday phone call. Build a Bear Edition.

137
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: Just let's try and calm down a little bit. We're

138
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: going to play a song and do it right after this.

139
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 5: I'm not sure I can, but.

140
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: I'll try.

141
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 5: Hold on.

142
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: It's awkward.

143
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

144
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: I know. Brooke has said many times she loves it

145
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: when other parents call and tell her she's doing a

146
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: bad job of mothering.

147
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 3: Texts, emails, direct messages.

148
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: All of us we do a whole segmentary tell Brooks

149
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: she's a bad mom.

150
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: Oh God.

151
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: But the thing is not everybody is as receptive to

152
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: parental criticism as Brook is. That's why our listener Richard

153
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: needs our help today because he was upset after dropping

154
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: his seven year old daughter off at a bild a

155
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: Bear birthday party game, and when he picked her up,

156
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: his daughter was crying because the host mom made all

157
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: of the children give their bill of Bears to the

158
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: birthday girl as like a big, happy gift to remember everybody.

159
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: Bad, but there was some type of logical I mean,

160
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 4: we talk about core memories.

161
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 3: This is definitely right. Yeah, you're never going to forget.

162
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: But Richard's not the only parent who was upset by

163
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: hearing this. He does want to be the one, though,

164
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: who calls up the mom and lets her know that

165
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: he thinks what she did wasn't really right. Yeah, so

166
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: how does he politely deliver that message so the mom

167
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: gets it? Let's go to our child's rearing expert, Josey.

168
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 1: What's your advice?

169
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 6: Well, I would play vague here and just ask, hey,

170
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 6: have you heard from any other parents about the party,

171
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 6: because likely she's gonna say yeah, I have, And if not,

172
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 6: you can just be like I hear some of them

173
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 6: are upset.

174
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: That is so passive aggression a group.

175
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: I get what he's saying. That way, Richard doesn't have

176
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: to own all of the anger, for he can share

177
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: some of the blame with the parents. Richard, what do

178
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: you think about that bully her?

179
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 5: Yes? Yeah, I mean what if she says I haven't

180
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 5: heard anything?

181
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, just then you can break the news I

182
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: heard from one other.

183
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, Yeah I heard from so and so.

184
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: Good luck, beating that.

185
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: Advice so honestly, Like, I know you heard from another

186
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 4: parent what this mom's intentions were, But I if you

187
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: want her to like understand what she did is wrong,

188
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: I think that you need to have her explain why,

189
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 4: like you haven't just asked her. I think you need

190
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 4: to come in with an open mind. Nobody ever changes

191
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: their mind.

192
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: If they're attacked, right, Yeah, if you're.

193
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 4: On the defense, you are never going to see somebody's

194
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: else's opinion.

195
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 5: I feel like I see why she did it. She

196
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 5: wanted this special moment strictly for her daughter.

197
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, but maybe maybe if you just ask her

198
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: to say that, she'll realize how dumb it is coming

199
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: out of her own mouth. I do that all the time.

200
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm starting to talk, I'm making a point, and I'm like, wow,

201
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: that is really stupid.

202
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I'm I'm wrong. I'm sorry.

203
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: So you can choose either one of those pieces of

204
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: advice or none, Richard, either one. We're gonna be here

205
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: waiting to jump in if we feel like you need

206
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of help. I think you got it, okay,

207
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: as long as you're you were pretty heated.

208
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, don't get so upset. I mean, in the end,

209
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 4: it's just a teddy bear. Those are nice, expensive bears.

210
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: Bear, it's twelve teddy bears.

211
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 5: It's so much more than Yeah, okay, stupid.

212
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't want to get you all excited again.

213
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: Stay calm. We're going to dial this mom for you.

214
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: Let you talk to her.

215
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 5: Here we go. I'm gonna try to keep you going

216
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 5: to control.

217
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: All right, you got this, bud?

218
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 5: Here we go. Hello. Hi? This Megan?

219
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, who's this?

220
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 5: Hi? This is Richard. I'm Vanessa's dad.

221
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, okay, Hi, how are you hi?

222
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 5: Good? First off, I just wanted to thank you for

223
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 5: inviting my daughter to the birthday party.

224
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 7: No, no problem, that's refreshing.

225
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 5: Well, I will say she had a really good time,

226
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 5: but there was one little issue, and I'm just kind

227
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 5: of wondering if you had feedback from other parents.

228
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've already had some other whiny parents call about this,

229
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 7: So whatever you're about to say, just just save it.

230
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 5: So I'm assuming what you're talking about is the build

231
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 5: a bear situation.

232
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I don't think any of you really understand

233
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 7: that it was my child's birthday party. So I get

234
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 7: to make the.

235
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 5: Rules, right, You get to make the rules. Yeah, and

236
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 5: with no regard to the other children's feelings. That was

237
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 5: that one of the rules.

238
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 7: You know, I paid for all the bears, right, I don't.

239
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 7: I didn't see your credit cards PLoP down on the

240
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 7: desk at Build a Bear.

241
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 5: It was mine. So you bought every one of their tears,

242
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 5: is what you're saying, tears?

243
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, give me a purchase.

244
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 5: You purchased each was it was it build a teer.

245
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 7: This was a birthday party, not a charity event to

246
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 7: give bears to the left event.

247
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 5: It was it was a labor camp. I'm not the

248
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 5: only one who thinks this. All the parents are talking

249
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 5: and they all kind of think you're a jerk.

250
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 7: Okay, great, go get together and report me to the

251
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 7: Build a Bear police. Who cares?

252
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 5: Done well, you should have them make a build of

253
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 5: bear police bear and then just take that away too.

254
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 7: Oh burn, thank you?

255
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 5: Ow that hurts. You know what the truth is? You

256
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 5: know who else thinks you're a jerk? Everybody listening on

Speaker 7: What the hell is that was?

263
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 3: Wasn't it outer for being an ale?

264
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: No color of labor camp.

265
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: That was the funniest back and forth.

266
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: Excuse me?

267
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 7: Can anyone tell me what's going on?

268
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: Yes?

269
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Megan, he wasn't lying. You actually are on

270
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: the radio right now on Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.

271
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: That's our show.

272
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: It was for advice.

273
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 3: We were trying to help the situation, not make it worse.

274
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 7: What does this even?

275
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on.

276
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: Sorry, it's a healing segment that we do about bringing

277
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: parents together and kindly talking to each other.

278
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 5: Richard.

279
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 7: Did he get that memo?

280
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 5: Yeah?

281
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: No, Well it's actually called an awkward Tuesday phone call

282
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: because we knew that this conversation wasn't going to be flawless.

283
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody expected it to nosedive like it did.

284
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: What happened, Richard? We told you to open I tried.

285
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 5: I tried my best.

286
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: That was your best.

287
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 5: She was an a hole from the very beginning. She

288
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 5: called every whiny wrong.

289
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: But also, yeah, you got to practice being the bigger

290
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: man in that situation, Richard. But I think it's too

291
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: late for that now, so listen, Megan. Maybe the message

292
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: didn't come across quite the way we wanted it to,

293
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: but do you understand the sentiment behind it that there's

294
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: a lot of parents that were upset by what happened

295
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: because their children were crying at the end of the party.

296
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: You must have noticed.

297
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm sorry that they didn't teach their kids how

298
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 7: to grasp the concept of party.

299
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 5: At a kid.

300
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 7: It wasn't their birthdays.

301
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 2: I know, well, I know, but I don't get it yet.

302
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 4: And you said that you didn't tell the kids at

303
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 4: the beginning of the party that they were building a

304
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 4: bear for the birthday.

305
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 5: Girl.

306
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 7: They're seven years old. They want to ruin the damn surprise.

307
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: Oh she does have a point a little bit there,

308
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: but it's it's still it's not fair.

309
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:28,119
Speaker 4: These people also already brought gifts, like they brought gifts already,

310
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 4: and that.

311
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: Was something they put thought into of what your daughter

312
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: would like.

313
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 7: God, you sound like one of the damn whiny parents

314
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 7: that call.

315
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 4: Even if you still think you're right, which is fine,

316
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 4: Like you're gonna ruin your daughter's social life if you

317
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 4: keep down this line. That's a good she's not going

318
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 4: to get invited to birthday parties because of this.

319
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 7: Good She doesn't want those kind of friends.

320
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,800
