Speaker 1: So your alphabet soup folks, yet a month and then
Speaker 1: a week and then a month, but fathers only get
Speaker 1: a day. I'm calling bullish. One more thing. I'm one
Speaker 1: more thing. I mean, you.
Speaker 2: Enjoy cursing too much. I love it.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I gotta stop out. Hanson has enough
Speaker 1: to do without bleeding my filth. I enjoyed it, though.
Speaker 1: Wow that felt good anyway. Uh sue, It's funny. I
Speaker 1: hadn't even thought that thought in the introduction until I
Speaker 1: thought it. Fathers get a day, but we get a
Speaker 1: month of alphabet soup. I like to screw the alternate people.
Speaker 2: What I don't think that's the society is this. I
Speaker 2: think that's the point of Pride Month.
Speaker 1: And that's it's all due respect to my my gay
Speaker 1: friends who are uniformly with the meme I saw the
Speaker 1: other day. LGB is all we need. The rest is
Speaker 1: not us well.
Speaker 2: And it's not just a month, as you know, there
Speaker 2: are a whole bunch of other weeks and days around
Speaker 2: the same theme throughout the years, so it's not just
Speaker 2: a month time one hundred.
Speaker 1: And forty a year. Yeah, but fathers get a day.
Speaker 1: And the reason that's popped into my mind is we
Speaker 1: have some kind of Father's Day related stuff, and you know,
Speaker 1: maybe it would have been better then because fathers only
Speaker 1: get one day. Then you ought to shut up about
Speaker 1: the importance of fathers.
Speaker 2: Hey, you weren't here on Friday when Katie and I
Speaker 2: and Michael had the discussion that we've had for many
Speaker 2: years of looking for a Father's Day card and trying
Speaker 2: to find one that's not a joke about flatulence or
Speaker 2: drinking beer or watching TV. Mother's Day cards are all
Speaker 2: you know, there are some joke Mother's Day cards, but
Speaker 2: there's tons of how important and valued and crucial mothers are.
Speaker 2: Dad's Day cards are all joke about.
Speaker 1: Yeah what I just said, Yeah, yeah, very innoy true.
Speaker 1: So anyway, why would be we be in the least
Speaker 1: hesitant to continue Father's Day thoughts or respect or that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. Let's begin with Clip Tenant's Tristans Casas.
Speaker 1: He's a Boston Red Sox player telling a story about
Speaker 1: his dad.
Speaker 4: So I'm in coach pitch, and you know, I'm so young,
Speaker 4: i don't really know what's going on at this point. Still,
Speaker 4: I'm still just playing baseball just to burn calaries and
Speaker 4: get out there and get some son right right. And
Speaker 4: you know, I get out one day and I come
Speaker 4: back to the dug out crying, pissed. And you know,
Speaker 4: that's that's what a six year old does. He sits
Speaker 4: on the bench and he cries and he doesn't want
Speaker 4: to go out there when you know his team's playing defense.
Speaker 4: So my dad, you know, be the dad that he
Speaker 4: is trying to teach me the lessons that he did
Speaker 4: in his own special way, came into the dugout. He
Speaker 4: actually grabbed me by my shirt, dragged me to the line,
Speaker 4: and looney Tune style kicked me out onto the field.
Speaker 4: And I actually had one of my best friends that
Speaker 4: I went to high school with later he ended up
Speaker 4: playing pro ball. His mom actually called child services on
Speaker 4: my dad at the field. No, no, no, for there's no
Speaker 4: joke at the field. I see my dad go away
Speaker 4: in the cop car, gets arrested. Stend the nice and jake.
Speaker 4: But that day, that day, my dad taught me a
Speaker 4: super valuable lesson that not not a lot of people know.
Speaker 4: And it's that I had a responsibility to my teammates,
Speaker 4: I had a responsibility to my coaches, to the parents
Speaker 4: that showed up that day, all the fans who were
Speaker 4: at that little league game, whatever it may be, to
Speaker 4: go out there and give my best effort, no matter
Speaker 4: how I was feeling on the bench, no matter what
Speaker 4: I was going through that day, or whatever little hardship
Speaker 4: that I was feeling when I got out, that I
Speaker 4: still apply every single time, because sometimes I just want
Speaker 4: to sit down on this bench after I get out,
Speaker 4: and I want to weave and I want to cry.
Speaker 4: But that's that's not how baseball is. So yeah, I
Speaker 4: love my dad to death. I wouldn't have this opportunity
Speaker 4: without him. But yeah, funny little excerpt. That's the type
Speaker 4: of my dad is.
Speaker 2: So that's true.
Speaker 1: That I like the looney to its references.
Speaker 2: It is an amazing story that took a turn though.
Speaker 2: She called CPS and the japent the night in jail.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, did not see that coming. Wow. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: is a good story.
Speaker 2: I also like the fact that he's six and he
Speaker 2: said the reason he was playing was to burn.
Speaker 1: Glories and to get some sun.
Speaker 2: I never thought about that when I was six, and
Speaker 2: I better work off this pomp tart.
Speaker 1: Cool. Wow, that second shot with chip Cookie was totally unnecessary.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go play some baseball. Yeah, that's that's funny.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of a conversation we've had before that
Speaker 1: you know, the the and it's a cliche and certainly
Speaker 1: the roles overlap. But when little Johnny skins his knee,
Speaker 1: Mom is, oh honey, oh no, and Dad's like, you'll
Speaker 1: be fine, You'll be great, and that whole And I
Speaker 1: remember my dad was my baseball coach a lot too,
Speaker 1: and he would come out to the mound when I
Speaker 1: was pitching, and I've said this, told this story before too.
Speaker 1: He'd say get this guy out or I'm gonna pull you.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't cruelty. It was a way to focus
Speaker 1: me and to say, you know, you have a job
Speaker 1: to do. Here is what it is. I'm not out
Speaker 1: of here. I'm not out here to tell you everything's
Speaker 1: going to be okay, because telling you go do it
Speaker 1: is telling you everything's going to be okay. Telling you ay,
Speaker 1: you're fine, go run and play is It's a empowering
Speaker 1: message to look at me a man, demand even as
Speaker 1: like a fifteen year old, and say focus, get this
Speaker 1: guy out.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 1: That's a compliment.
Speaker 3: Then, shift we've experienced yeah, i'd say, oh yeah, I can't.
Speaker 1: Plus, you know, as I've said before, I was like, you,
Speaker 1: damn right, I'm getting this guy out. You're not pulling me.
Speaker 1: And it's just it. That's what coaching is, That's what
Speaker 1: man to man coaching is. Now it can cross the
Speaker 1: line into being an a hole if you're a bad coach,
Speaker 1: but was a very good coach.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Anxiety. It's going to cause anxiety.
Speaker 3: This is reminding me of a story my dad told me.
Speaker 3: He played football in high school and my grandfather, his
Speaker 3: dad was a surgeon, and my dad took a cleat
Speaker 3: to the shin during a game and my granddad sewed
Speaker 3: him up in the team team locker room and then
Speaker 3: said get your ass back out there.
Speaker 2: And this was during the Civil War.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much, I as well been mid sixties. On
Speaker 1: the other hand, Katie, do we need any setup for
Speaker 1: clip twelve?
Speaker 3: No, this is just where we're headed if this woke
Speaker 3: crap continues.
Speaker 5: Hey, non binary offspring, Hey, non gender specific parent. Just
Speaker 5: wanted to let you know that dinner is ready if
Speaker 5: you can send to it. Of course I don't. I
Speaker 5: don't consent. Well, I was thinking maybe in an.
Speaker 1: Hour or so.
Speaker 5: If you're up to it, me and your other non
Speaker 5: gender specific parent can sit in the living room and
Speaker 5: breathe for a little bit if it doesn't trigger you.
Speaker 5: Of course, you know, I'm not sure if I'm triggered
Speaker 5: by that or offended. I quite honestly, I don't know
Speaker 5: what to feel anymore. Trust me, I don't know either. Honey.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, did you just call me honey? Oh
Speaker 5: my god? I am so sorry. That's harassment. Please don't
Speaker 5: tweet about this. I already did. Well, it looks like
Speaker 5: my career is over. Well, maybe think twenty times before
Speaker 5: you talk. We'll have to live on the streets. Well,
Speaker 5: that doesn't matter to me, because my feelings are more
Speaker 5: important than all of our physical well beings. Okay, well,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go into the living room and cry. I
Speaker 5: love you. You don't have to say it back. I'm
Speaker 5: not going to.
Speaker 1: Wow parent and child in the year twenty sixty.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good. I don't know if I'm triggered or offended.
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm feeling anymore.
Speaker 2: I can't believe that dude's dad spent the night in jail.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I gotta ask how hard did he
Speaker 1: kick him? I don't know. The boy looking back is
Speaker 1: he's full of love and he did the right thing
Speaker 1: and laughing about it, so yeah he does. I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, wow, that's quite a story. You know.
Speaker 1: They kicked each other pretty hard in those Liney Tunes cartoons.
Speaker 1: Occasionally it was borderline brutality. Michael, you're quite right. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess that's it.
