1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Fred show is on. It's stay or go, all right,

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: So I did the thing I never do, and I

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: posted a picture on National Radio Day. Oh God of

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: me in a radio studio. You literally said it an

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: hour ago. Okay, we're brought the radio people to pose

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: the picture then with the board behind him. You don't

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: you don't get to make fun of something that I'm

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: currently making fun of myself for like, you don't know. Actually,

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: you can do it. You can if you want. But

10
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't know why I thought of it. But I

11
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: thought of this picture of a baby Fred at my

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: very first real radio job. That was in my college yearbook.

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: And I'm like, where is that picture? And I found

14
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: it during a commercial. Not Chris Frederick, yeah radio name,

15
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: brother Fred, brother. Oh I know him, brother Fred. Well yeah,

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: that's that's the story in itself. But we're not going

17
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: to tell. But I get article. We got a whole article.

18
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: I got a hold I found it. I was like,

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm posting this because I was a

20
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: little baby, little baby djuh. Fred had no idea that

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: it would get to the whatever.

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: This is when a person graduates from college hoping to

23
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: get a job in the media. Today, most could expect

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: to spend years working their way up to the larger markets.

25
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: One SMU student jumped ahead. Well, one SMU student lied

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: is ass made a completely fake demo on a radio

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: station that doesn't exist to get a job in market

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: number five that I never should have had, never should

29
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: have had, And then fast forward twenty some years later,

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: I have a job I never should have had. So anyway,

31
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: that's up Fred on air. You can go check it

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: out if you want too. But a happy National Radio

33
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: Day from a baby fread and a bunch of clothes

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: that don't fit. I don't know why anyone let me

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: dress like that? Why did no one in my life?

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: A lot of people in my life cared enough to

37
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: support me for twenty five years in this thing, but

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: they didn't support me enough to buy me clothes it fit.

39
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: But this is like the style? Now what am I

40
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: always saying? I should have kept all those clothes and

41
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: I can wear them again. Very cute, see very mindful.

42
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: I was very not mindful at that stage of my life.

43
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, a lot of people to think. But mostly

44
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: it's you, guys. Mostly it's the people listening to this

45
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: whatever this is, this crap? Who put up with us

46
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: every single day and have for so many years. It's

47
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: the only reason we get to do this every day.

48
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: So that's my thank you on a national radio day

49
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: from me to you from the and and believe it

50
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: or not, I'm being entirely sincere from the bottom of

51
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: my heart. A lot of people. I've got just countless

52
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: people to think over the last twenty five years that

53
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: like stood by me, you know, taught me stuff like

54
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: didn't abandon me when I was an idiot, you know,

55
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: like honestly should have fired me one hundred times. People

56
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: who will never be forgotten. And but really it's just

57
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: the people who've listened all this time. But you know,

58
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: look at you. A lot of people in here have

59
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: similar stories though. I mean, Kiki was scheduling the actual

60
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: commercials that you hear on the radio.

61
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 3: Yeah eight years ago. Oh no, maybe just a few

62
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: years ago. I thought it was more than that radio

63
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: three years well.

64
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: I thought you worked here much longer than that, That's

65
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: what I mean. So you were here like three or

66
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: four years before that, weren't you.

67
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: I was an intern for free for two years. She

68
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: Ha's what I'm talking about.

69
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: All of that before you ever got to even talk

70
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: on the radio.

71
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: Crazy is that the four of us, we're all local,

72
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: we're all local talent, which doesn't happen, which doesn't happen,

73
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: all of.

74
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: Whom have never had a job at any other radio station. Well, yeah,

75
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: worked in l A and Chicago. Not many people that

76
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: that's not so bad. That either speaks to immense talent

77
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: or lack of availability of people. One or the other

78
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: it does. I don't know which one it is. I

79
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: can my way into a room. Okay, let me tell

80
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: you no doubt about it. I remember that, I remember that.

81
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: But I'm grateful for all you guys and for this,

82
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I'm feeling all nostalgia day on

83
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: national radio deck. I should get all in, but never forget,

84
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: never forget the people who helped you. Hey, Sierra, good morning.

85
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: How you doing.

86
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 4: I'm doing all right?

87
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 5: How about you?

88
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm all right, I'm great. It is that's a radio day?

89
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: Why not? Who knew?

90
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 4: That's?

91
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: Thank you? I didn't even know that really that it

92
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: was a thing until today, even though I probably mentioned

93
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: it every year on the radio. But what's going on

94
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: with you? Tell us what's going on in say ergo?

95
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: This morning? With just your husband. Yeah, it's your husband.

96
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: I got the email right here, But why don't you explain? Sure?

97
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 6: So, I know this part of the show is called

98
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 6: stay or go, and I'm not necessarily thinking of leaving

99
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 6: my husband, but but we have been dealing with with

100
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 6: a tough time right now.

101
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: Okay, No, I mean, but we're all what happened? Yes, Well,

102
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: I'm like that's the story. I'm like that was that

103
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: a pregnant pause? Was that? Was that a pause for

104
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: dramatic effects? Like you're good at this, maybe you've done

105
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: this before.

106
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 6: No, my husband and I can't seem to agree on

107
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 6: what age it's appropriate to leave our our son home alone.

108
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 6: He just turned nine, and the way our work schedules work,

109
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 6: there's usually one two hour period where he would be

110
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 6: alone unless we got childcare for him, which is pretty expensive.

111
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 6: But we don't have family around us either. So my

112
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 6: husband said that he's old enough to stay home and

113
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 6: he deserved that opportunity to be trusted. And when he

114
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 6: was a kid, he was left home alone even earlier

115
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 6: than that.

116
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about this. How was I when I maybe

117
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: around that age? I don't remember. I can't remember it.

118
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: Had you been before that because my sister was born.

119
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't maybe sitting my sister at when she was

120
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: one or two. But I can't remember how old were

121
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: you when you were left alone.

122
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: I mean our parents did to us all the time,

123
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: but like they left all the cousins again, so there

124
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 2: was always an older cousin fifteen or sixteen watching the

125
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: rest of us. But I mean left home alone. I

126
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: don't know, probably thirteen or fourteen something.

127
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: That also, you're saying nine too, because you had a

128
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: look on your face. You're saying nine too young young?

129
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully he Maybe he has friends in the block

130
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: on the neighborhood.

131
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can send them over to nine is too young, okay?

132
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: So you think how old then, Sierra, you think now.

133
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 5: Eleven, even eleven might be a little too young.

134
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 6: What's leaning towards?

135
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: And he thinks now he thinks he thinks nine is okay?

136
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: You think another three or four years?

137
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. But he thinks that he's trustworthy. And I

138
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 6: do trust my son. I just don't trust the outside factors,

139
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 6: like if there's a fire, there's a stranger out the door,

140
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 6: then that that gives me anxiety.

141
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: I mean, it make me sound an old time and

142
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm not that old, but like it is a whole

143
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: different generation now though, because you've got cameras everywhere and

144
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: cell phones and you know, ways to get a hold

145
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: of people immediately and you know, watch and see what's

146
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: going on. I don't know. I guess, if anything, I

147
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: would think it would be younger now than it's ever been,

148
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: depending on the kid I got. I'm not a parent,

149
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: but I mean if your kid's kind of like a

150
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: like an idiot, then and you know, as kids can be,

151
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: then maybe don't leave them alone, Like if you just

152
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: caught them playing with matches, like now, wouldn't be the

153
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: time to necessarily just like leave you know, the house

154
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: for hours on end. But a ring camera in every

155
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: room in that house. No.

156
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: I saw this on a Team Mob episode. I'm still

157
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: watching tea Mom. But she was leaving to go out

158
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: on a date with her fiance and she left two

159
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: of her kids home by themselves, and she's told them before.

160
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: She she said stay in view of the camera, and

161
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 3: then she said, don't call me, we're on a date,

162
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: and they just walked out the door. So I guess

163
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: her plan is as long as they're in camera view,

164
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: in the house, then they can watch themselves.

165
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: Huh. I'm curious. So eight five five, five, one one

166
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: three five we have parents of the young kids here

167
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: who haven't gotten to that yet, and then we have

168
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: people like me who probably shouldn't be a parent of anything.

169
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I guess nine didn't seem that

170
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: young to me. But then it really would depend on

171
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: the kid in the situation, right, and how close are

172
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: neighbors and friends, and you know, are your neighbors people

173
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: that you trust and that you know can kind of

174
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: look over and maybe it's maybe it's an holf an

175
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: hour here, an hour there, and then you work up

176
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: to it, you know, I don't know. I don't know.

177
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: But this is like a real fight you guys are having,

178
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: do you think, I mean, yeah, what's the compromise? I

179
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: assume you won, or you're going to win.

180
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 6: I hope so. Well, So here's the thing, he says

181
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 6: that it's playing into other aspects of our relationship. So

182
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 6: every time there's some type of argument and it goes on, well,

183
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 6: you always have to have your way, just like like

184
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 6: with our kid right now, and it's either your way

185
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 6: or the highway. But I just feel like I as

186
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 6: his mom, I know what's.

187
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 4: Best for him.

188
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 6: This is biological science, Okay, I'm just going to know.

189
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: What's best as a kid. You'd be scared.

190
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: I'd be scared to stay home alone at nine years old,

191
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: but then I'm scared of everything, but I would be there.

192
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: He's still scared to stay at home alone. Yeah, you're right.

193
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: Actually, I obviously would trust a nine year old girl

194
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: to stay like better than a nine year old boy.

195
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: For some reason, you know what I'm saying. I feel

196
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 2: like girls are more mature at that age. Like if

197
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: I left Ashton Litlone at nine years old, I don't

198
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: think i'd have a house that come back.

199
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: See that's why I say it's case by case. I mean,

200
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: there's probably like a minimum age. But let me take

201
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: some phone calls on this and see Sierra, good luck,

202
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: thanks for calling.

203
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 6: Thank you.

204
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: People are saying the legal agent Illinois, for example, is

205
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: fourteen years So Abby, Abby, I can't leave Minny. I

206
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: don't have a kid that I'm aware of, but I can't.

207
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't leave that kid alone until he or she

208
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: was fourteenth. That's the law, that's what.

209
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, in Illinois, it's fourteen and not's way too young.

210
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 5: I think fourteen is kind of old. All it takes

211
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 5: is one nosy neighbor to like see your kid and

212
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 5: think that you're not doing your job and make a

213
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 5: phone call and blow up your life. I mean, nine

214
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 5: is way too young.

215
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. See someone else is saying it's third. I mean

216
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm getting a bunch of different texts about it. Maybe

217
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: it depends like what part of the you know, what

218
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: city you actually live in and all that. But yeah, okay, Abby, Yeah.

219
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 5: Hell yeah yeah, Illinoid's is fourteen. We've got one of

220
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 5: the oldest stay at home laws normally, like nationwide, it

221
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 5: is about twelve.

222
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: But two years later I can drive, and four years

223
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: later I can smoke a cigarette. Like it kind of

224
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: seems maybe that's a.

225
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 5: Little bit Yeah exactly.

226
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, Abby. Thank you have a

00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: Aaron is a social hi aeron social worker erin good morning,

230
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: How were you?

231
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 7: Hi, Good morning, I'm good.

232
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: What's what's the appropriate age? Then? When are you supposed

233
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: to be able to leave your kid at home?

234
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 5: Well, so I don't necessarily agree with it, because, like you,

235
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 5: I was like ten when I was staying home alone,

236
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 5: when I was young, but the loss of fourteen, so.

237
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: That's crazy to me. Two years later, I'd drive a

238
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: motor vehicle. I can drive it across the country. I

239
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: could go and go and go and there many how

240
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: much gas money? I have a Well why would you

241
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: say that? If someone would ask you? As a social worker,

242
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: If someone says, hey, erin, you know how old? How

243
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: old is it old enough for me to leave my

244
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: kid alone?

245
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 6: Well, I why.

246
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: Is it is?

247
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 8: It does say fourteen, but it also says you have

248
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 8: to have reasonable I'm like, if you're leaving them home

249
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 8: to run to the store for fifteen minutes, like you

250
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 8: know that they're going to be back, you're not leading overnight,

251
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 8: and you've got reasonable plans to come back.

252
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 5: So it's tricky.

253
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 8: But if you had a neighbor that was obnoxious or

254
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 8: your kids were obnoxious, like, you're going to get in trouble,

255
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 8: so right.

256
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: Someone turn you in or whatever? You am?

257
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 4: Okay?

258
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: All right, Aaron? Well thank you, Yeah, no problem, have

259
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: a good day. Casey, Hi, Casey, how you doing, Hi?

260
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: Frid how are you Casey? Good morning? So how old

261
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: is too old or too young or whatever to leave

262
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: your kid alone? This is a fight that this woman

263
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: is having in her relationship, and he says, now, she

264
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: says nine is too young. In this case, it was

265
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: nine years old, and she's saying eleven, twelve something like that.

266
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: What do you think?

267
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 5: Well, I really think it depends on the kid, because

268
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 5: I have a sixteen year old daughter now who still

269
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 5: doesn't want to be left home alone.

270
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 4: But I have a twelve year old.

271
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 5: I have a twelve year old son who, like, at seven,

272
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 5: he was like, yeah, I.

273
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: Get out of here. I'm fine. Yeah. I really think

274
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: it depends on the child, and it also depends on

275
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: the circumstance and.

276
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 5: How long you're going to be gone and all of

277
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 5: those things.

278
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just thinking about this now. I was much

279
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: eight years older than my sister, which worked out very

280
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: well for my parents. I was a built in babysitter

281
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: from basically the days when that two was born. But

282
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: as soon as she was like potty trained, they could

283
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: leave because I was like eleven or twelve at that point.

284
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: As soon as I turned sixteen, I was her transportation. Yep.

285
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: I mean they thought this out. I think built in babysitting.

286
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, Casey, have a good day.

287
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 8: Thanks bred.

288
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, they considered this didn't they, is it? Gabriel, Hi,

289
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: good morning, good morning. Okay, So what is the appropriate

290
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: age to leave your kid alone?

291
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 4: Well, my parents.

292
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 7: Taught me from a young age that you got to

293
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 7: take responsibilities while you're younger and so you can learn

294
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 7: for the future. And when I was eight and nine,

295
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 7: I was actually watching my four year old and three

296
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 7: year old brothers and sisters, so home alone by myself

297
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 7: when I had seven siblings, clo, I don't see any

298
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 7: problem with leaving your kid home at eight, nine, at

299
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 7: or ten.

300
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, wow, as long as they have.

301
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 7: Enough responsibility and you are trustworthy with them, I see.

302
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: Okay, Gabriel, thank you have a good day.

303
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,120

00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Good morning, How you doing, good morning?

306
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 4: I'm good. How are you.

307
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: Hey, Justin Man, I'm doing all right. Thanks for calling.

308
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: What is the What is the age which you leave

309
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: your kid alone?

310
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: I would say nowadays will probably be around twelve to thirteen.

311
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 4: I remember when I was a kid, in about six

312
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 4: or seventh grade, my mom used to leave me home alone.

313
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 4: The her thing was, don't answer the door to anybody.

314
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: Don't answer the phone to anybody if they don't have

315
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 4: a key to the house, they don't need to be

316
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 4: in here, and it'll only be for about an hour

317
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 4: or to a day. But I feel like with all

318
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 4: the cameras nowadays, maybe about twelve to thirteen, it'll be

319
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 4: the best time to leave kids home alone.

320
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: Say now, I mean everyone's got ring cameras and cameras

321
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: in this place in that place, so that you can

322
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: have a better idea what's going on, and then you

323
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: can get a hold of the kid more easily than

324
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: you could back in the day.

325
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 4: Oh definitely. I don't have a cell phone. Back then,

326
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 4: there was a house phone and that was it, and

327
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 4: I had to call my mom's office. Can I speak

328
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: to my mom?

329
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, thank you, justin have a good day.

330
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: I wonder about this sometimes too, like the stuff that

331
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: we we've talked about it before, but the stuff that

332
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: we used to be allowed to do as kids, Like

333
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: my parents didn't hesitate to let me. You know, the

334
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: sun goes up, get on your bike. Basically when the

335
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: street lights come on, that's when you need to be home.

336
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: Like when it's dark that you need to be home.

337
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't talk to them all day. Yeah, no,

338
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: check in, No, we go right around neighbor, go to

339
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: the yogurt store, we go over to the convenience store,

340
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: we go. I mean we'd ride around, I mean just

341
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: all day, you know, with our friends or whatever. And

342
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that I would let my kid do that. Now.

343
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't that my parents were bad parents. They were

344
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: great parents, but like there'd be a charity thing at

345
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: school and they'd let me go knocked door to door. Yeah,

346
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: we didn't know all the neighbors as far as I

347
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: could go, because my parents like be entrepreneurial, like go

348
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: raise some money, you know, like just go do it,

349
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: go knock on doors saying, and I would never let

350
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: my kid do that now. But the question is people are,

351
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: like it's different times now. Were those people were those

352
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: creepy ass people just not there? I don't know when

353
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: I was young, they were, right, That's what I'm saying.

354
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: Or like now that because Chris Hansen calls him out online,

355
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: now we know who they are, But like before they

356
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: were there and somehow we all just got lucky. Like

357
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, you have times really changed as far

358
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: as like weirdos go or or are we just more

359
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: aware of it now you just seem more, especially on

360
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: social media, Like as a parent, that's the anxiety to

361
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: one hundred because of social media. To be honest, like

362
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: it's a lot of information. It's good information. It is.

363
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: At the same time, it's like what we didn't know?

364
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess.

365
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: I mean as a kid, like I did some dumb things,

366
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: you know, like my parents didn't know. I just went

367
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: I did some dumb things. But now as a parent,

368
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: like when Ashton gets to the age and we be

369
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: like yo, bro, like you need to check it. Like

370
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: I know, I know the tricks.

371
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: You know you ain't gonna trick me. I know all that.

372
00:15:59,040 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 5: You know.

373
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: What's the worst part of the dumb stuff you did

374
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: is none of it was caught on ring CAMPRAS. None

375
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: of it. The Entertainment Reports
