<v Speaker 2>Enjoy some awkwardness. It's your awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 3>One of the most dramatic calls we've had all year,

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 3>and it all started with a weird disagreement at a

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Build a Bear workshop.

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Where all big disagreements happened.

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 3>Of course, gotten it, Oh yeah. Children were in tears,

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 3>their parents were upset, and even went viral on TikTok.

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 3>And now one father's decided it's time to get justice

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 3>and confront the person who started the drama. You're gonna

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 3>hear what went down at Build a Bear in your

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 3>brand new awkward big teas right, the most awkward Tuesday

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 3>phone call coming up right after this. It's awkward, It's Tuesday.

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 3>It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Different radio shows excel at

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 3>different types of content. Some shows are really good with

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 3>health and wellness tips. Other ones don't judge the other shows.

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah. Other ones focus more on true crime stories.

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 3>But today we're honing in on our wheelhouse children's birthday

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 3>party drama. That's where we thrive. And I bring it

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 3>up because there's a story that's actually been going viral

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 3>on TikTok lately. I'm not sure if you guys have

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 3>heard about it yet, but one of the people who

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 3>was directly involved reached out to us saying, hey, I

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 3>could really really use your help.

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Interesting that children's birthdays aren't in my algorithm.

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.639
<v Speaker 3>Jeffrey, Yeah, I don't know why. Let's talk to him though.

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 3>His name is Richard. Richard, welcome to the Showy.

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>You doing apparently better than you if you're viral on

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>TikTok for an issue.

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, okay, I'm not the one viral, but my daughter

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 4>was a part of it.

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh, so's not as good as your daughter. Yeah, not

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 3>as bad as your daughter. Yeah, but it's not a

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 3>good slag.

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 3>We shouldn't be slamming our listeners as soon as they

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 3>ask us for help. Sorry about that, Richard, tell us,

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 3>what's going on? You were involved with this birthday drama?

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 4>How well, my daughter's seven years old and she was

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 4>invited to this birthday party. So basically I had to

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 4>drop her off at the mall, like in the food court.

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 4>And what I understood that the plan was they were

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.519
<v Speaker 4>gonna go have lunch and do party activities and when

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 4>then the group was going to head over to build

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 4>a bear.

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 3>Just a bunch of seven year olds freely figuring it out.

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 4>Oh, it's like a build a bear party the birthday

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 4>girl's mom was taking care of.

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Don't you love that age when your kids finally get

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>to the drop off parties you don't have to stay

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>any longer.

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was a great I'll be back in a

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 4>few hours. It's perfect.

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, sounds sounds like a good plan.

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 4>So I go home and I come back in a

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 4>few hours and there's my daughter just in tears. What

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 4>I feared?

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 2>She's crying?

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh, no, pretty standard for post seven year old birthday party.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Though there's always one kid at the party. Yeah, I

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>mean it stops that it's yours. I get it.

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, it was more than my kid, it was other

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 4>kids too. They were all upset.

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 5>Oh and wow, what the heck happened? Did Jeff show

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 5>up into a parody song in the middle.

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 3>Of the party?

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 4>Laughing?

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 3>Then what happened?

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 4>So I got her in the car and asked what happened?

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:16.279
<v Speaker 4>She said that the mom forced all the girls to

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.600
<v Speaker 4>give their build of bears to the birthday girl.

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 3>No way, wait?

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>What like they went to a party and they made

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>their own build a bear without knowing it was for

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the birthday girl.

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.479
<v Speaker 3>New that's so rude.

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.039
<v Speaker 5>I'm not even involved in the bear world or children's world,

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:33.799
<v Speaker 5>and I want to fight everyone right now.

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Why would the little birthday girl needs eleven stuffed animals?

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 4>Like?

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Why would the mom do that?

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 4>That's what I was asked to myself. So I contacted

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 4>another mom who was involved, and she she couldn't believe

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.359
<v Speaker 4>it either. She was really upset. Wow.

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 5>See, okay, so this is like the normal reaction.

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's agreed blindsided all of the parents, the children there obviously.

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what was the reason? Did you ever get

0:04:58.720 --> 0:04:59.479
<v Speaker 2>to the bottom of that?

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 4>Well? What she said was that the mom wanted each

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:06.239
<v Speaker 4>girl to build a bear so that like her daughter

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 4>would remember each one of them by the bear that

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 4>they built. They built for her.

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 3>Was that was that laid out in like the invitation

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 3>that all the kids were going to be building a

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 3>bear for the birthday girl.

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 4>No, no, my daughter thought she was getting the bear

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 4>to bring home. I mean, okay, we already gave the gift.

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 2>That is so weird. Okay, I mean you didn't pay

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 2>for it, right, Like the mom.

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 3>Paid for that question expensive?

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 2>The birthday mom paid for everybody to.

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 4>Make these Yeah, she did pay for the bill of

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 4>bear period.

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, the birthday mom paid for the cake too, I'm

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 3>assuming and she gave someone that away, so at least

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 3>she's kind of generous.

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 5>Okay, look, let me play advocate really quick. Think about

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 5>it from the birthday girl, every one of those bears.

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 5>Every night she goes to bed, it's like, this is

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.840
<v Speaker 5>Sarah's bear, this is Brooks bear, this is just her friends.

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 5>And so that's just wanting to throw that out there.

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 2>But how is a mother? Could you see all these

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 2>children crying? I like, this is the choice. This is

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 2>the choice I'm making.

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 5>I'm just saying I see.

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 4>Where maybe I think exactly what Brook thinks. All these

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 4>girls had to stand in wine, they to make each bear,

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 4>and then they were all the bears were ripped away

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 4>from them at the end, a.

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:21.599
<v Speaker 5>Crying line of kids like here, it's so ridiculous.

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, So I have the lady's number. I want

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 4>to contact her, tell her this is okay.

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.039
<v Speaker 3>An we want to call the mom of the birthday

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:31.919
<v Speaker 3>girl who set this up.

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I want to contact her and say it's not right,

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 4>it's not okay, okay, give you a bear back?

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.240

<v Speaker 2>the bag.

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 4>That would be a cherry on top. I don't expect it,

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 4>but I just need her to know what she did

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.760

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Text emails, direct messages, all of us.

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 3>We do a whole segment time tell Brooks she's a

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 3>bad mom.

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh God.

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 3>But the thing is not everybody is as receptive to

0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 3>parental criticism as brook is. That's true. That's why our

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 3>listener Richard needs our help today because he was upset

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 3>after dropping his seven year old daughter off at a

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 3>bild a Bear birthday party game and when he picked

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 3>her up, his daughter was crying because the host mom

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 3>made all of the children give their bill of Bears

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 3>to the birthday girl as like a big happy gift

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.559
<v Speaker 3>to remember everybody bad. But there was some type of logic.

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we talk about core memories. This is definitely wy.

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're never gonna forget. But Richard's not the only

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 3>parent who was upset by hearing this. He does want

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 3>to be the one, though, who calls up the mom

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 3>and lets her know that he thinks what she did

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 3>wasn't really right. Yeah, So how does he politely deliver

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 3>that message so the mom gets it? Let's go to

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 3>our child's rearing expert, jose For Yes, Josell, what's your advice?

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, I would play vague here and just ask, hey,

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 5>have you heard from any other parents about the party,

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 5>because likely she's gonna say yeah, I have, And if not,

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.319
<v Speaker 5>you can just be like, I hear some of them

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 5>are upset.

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's so passive aggression.

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 3>I get what he's saying. That way, Richard doesn't have

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 3>to own all of the anger, for he can share

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 3>some of the blame with the parents. Richard, what do

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 3>you think about that bully her?

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 4>Yes? Yeah, I mean what if she says I haven't

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 4>heard anything?

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, just then you can break the news I

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 3>heard from one other Yeah, there you go, I heard

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 3>from so and so. Good luck beating that advice.

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>So honestly, Like, I know you heard from another parent

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 1>what this mom's intentions were. But I if you want

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>her to like understand what she did is wrong, I

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>think that you need to have her explain why, like

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>you haven't just asked her. I think you need to

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>come in with an open mind. Nobody ever changes their

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>mind if they're attacked. If you're on the defense, you

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>are never going to see somebody's else's opinion.

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I see why she did it. She

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 4>wanted this special moment strictly for her daughter.

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but maybe if you just ask her to say that,

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 3>she'll realize how dumb it is coming out of her

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 3>own mouth. I do that all the time. I'm starting

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 3>to talk, I'm making a point, and I'm like, wow,

0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 3>that is really stupid. Well, you know what I'm I'm wrong.

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry.

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 3>So you can choose either one of those pieces of

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 3>advice or none, Richard, either one. We're gonna be here

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 3>waiting to jump in if we feel like you need

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:22.559
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of help. I think you got it.

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.319
<v Speaker 4>Okay, as long as you're you were pretty.

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Heated yet five years.

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Don't get so upset. I mean, in the end, it's

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 2>just a Teddy Bear. Those are nice expensive bears.

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 3>Teddy Bear's twelve Teddy Bears.

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 4>It's so much more than Yeah, okay, sorry, yeah, we don't.

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 3>We don't want to get you all excited again. Stay calm.

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna dial this mom for you. Let you talk

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 3>to her.

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 4>Here we go. I don't try to keep going to control, right,

0:10:50.600 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 4>you got this, buddy? Here we go? Hello? Hi this Megan?

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Who's this?

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:12.079
<v Speaker 4>Hi? This is Richard. I'm Vanessa's dad. Oh yeah, okay, Hi,

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 4>how are you hi? Good? First, off. I just wanted

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:20.199
<v Speaker 4>to thank you for inviting my daughter to the birthday party. No,

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 4>no problem, that's refreshing. Well, I will say she had

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 4>a really good time, but there was one little issue,

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.199
<v Speaker 4>and I'm just kind of wondering if you had feedback

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 4>from other parents. Yeah, I've already had some other whiny

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 4>parents call about this is So whatever you're about to say,

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 4>just save it. So I'm assuming what you're talking about

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 4>is the Build a Bear situation. Yeah, so I don't

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 4>think any of you really understand that it was my

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 4>child's birthday party. So I get to make the rules, right,

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 4>You get to make the rules. Yeah, and with no

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.319
<v Speaker 4>regard to the other children's feelings. That was that one

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 4>of the rules.

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 4>I paid for all the bears, right, I don't. I

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 4>didn't see your credit cards PLoP down on the desk

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 4>at Build a Bear. It was mine. So you bought

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 4>every one of their tears, is what you're saying? Tears?

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, give me you purchased each was it

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 4>was it build a teer. This was a birthday party,

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 4>not a charity event to give bears to the Left

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 4>Earth event. It was it was a labor camp. A

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 4>labor girls to work. I'm not the only one who

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 4>thinks this. All the parents are talking and they all

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:44.200
<v Speaker 4>kind of think you're a sure.

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, great, go get together and report me to the

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:48.559
<v Speaker 3>build a bear police.

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Who cares?

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.839
<v Speaker 4>Done? Well, you should have them make a build of

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 4>bear police bear and then just take that away too.

0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh Burn, thank you?

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 4>Ow that was her. You know what the truth is?

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 4>You know who else thinks you a jerk? Everybody listening

<v Speaker 4>on the radio right now because you're on Brook and

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 4>Jeffrey in the morning.

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.200
<v Speaker 3>What are you talking about?

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.480
<v Speaker 4>What the hell is going on? Yeah? You just got

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:18.440
<v Speaker 4>outed for being a first glance jerk to the entire country.

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 1>What the hell that.

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 3>Was?

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't it outer for being an a hole?

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.960
<v Speaker 3>No color of labor camp? That was the funniest back

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:27.360
<v Speaker 3>and forth?

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.440
<v Speaker 4>Excuse me? Can anyone tell me what's going on? Yes?

0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so, Megan, he wasn't lying. You actually are on

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 3>the radio right now on Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:36.679
<v Speaker 3>That's our show.

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 2>It was for advice. We were trying to help the situation,

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 2>not make it worse.

0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 4>What is this even? I don't know what's going on.

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.559
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, it's a healing segment that we do about bringing

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 3>parents together and kindly talking to each other.

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Rich Did he get that memo?

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:53.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 3>No, Well it's actually called an awkward Tuesday phone call

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.079
<v Speaker 3>because we knew that this conversation wasn't going to be flawless.

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't think anybody expected it to nosedive like it did.

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 2>That wild what happened, Richard? We told you to open

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 2>my poll.

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 4>I tried, I tried my best.

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:11.199
<v Speaker 2>That was your best.

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 4>She was an a hole from the very beginning. She

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.559
<v Speaker 4>called every whiny was not wrong.

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 3>But also, yeah, you got a practice being the bigger

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 3>man in that situation, Richard. But I think it's too

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 3>late for that now. So listen, Megan. Maybe the message

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 3>didn't come across quite the way we wanted it to,

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 3>but do you understand the sentiment behind it that there's

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 3>a lot of parents that were upset by what happened

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 3>because their children were crying at the end of the party.

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 3>You must have noticed.

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm sorry that they didn't teach their kids how

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>to grasp the concept of party etiquette.

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't their birthdays.

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 2>I know, well, I know, but I don't get it yet.

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 2>And you said that.

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>You didn't tell the kids at the beginning of the

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 1>party that they were building a bear for the birthday girl.

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 4>They're seven years old.

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 3>They want to ruin the damn surprise. Oh oh my god.

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 3>She does have a point a little bit there, but

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.360
<v Speaker 3>it's it's still it's not fair.

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Would these people also already brought gifts, Like they brought

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 1>gifts already and that.

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Was something they put thought into of what your daughter

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 2>would like.

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 4>God, you sound like one of the damn whiny parents

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 4>that call, even if.

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 2>You still think you're right, which is fine, Like.

0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna ruin your daughter's social life if you keep

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>down this line. That's a good She's not going to

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.880
<v Speaker 1>get invited to birthday parties because of this good She

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want those kind of friends.

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, you get off.

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're proud of yourself for trying to drag

0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.360
<v Speaker 1>a good mom down on live radio for we're trying

0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 1>to make her daughter happy.

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's not tell her what a good mom.

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that that's true.

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, that doesn't matter. If you believe it, you should

0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 3>say it.

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think that you're trying to make your

0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 2>daughter happy.

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 3>Which you should try harder. With this apologies, that's.

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 2>What we all want for our children.

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I just think that maybe the lesson of looking at

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 1>others and putting others first is a good one too.
