Speaker 1: My girl like you every day.

21
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: No turn it back, because I've helped raise my nephew

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: and he really broke my heart the other day but

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 3: I couldn't. He doesn't know this, but it really did.

24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: He texts the family group and he said, I want

25
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 3: a job, And I'm like, and hell does he sixteen?

26
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: He's sixteen? Yes, okay, good for him?

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: No?

28
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: No, no, I don't Why do you need a job?

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: Like?

30
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if parents feel this or have felt this.

31
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: You go through like I went through a stage of

32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 3: like grief. I went through, like why does he want

33
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: a job? What are we not providing for you? Is

34
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: there something that we that you want that we haven't

35
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: gotten you? Like? Is it something you feel like you're lacking?

36
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: Why do you want a job? Then I go through

37
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 3: like what I remember at sixteen going to a job

38
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: and the people I met at that job, Right, you know,

39
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: it's alway sometimes you'll grow up fast.

40
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: And I'm not I'm not judging anyone whatsoever. You know,

41
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: this is a judgment free zone. But you got this

42
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: the job that's really for sixteen year olds, but it's

43
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: like a thirty year old working there still. You know

44
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: what It's like, that's the one who's buying them booze

45
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: and teaching them things they don't need to know. It's like,

46
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: you know, this is this is for high school kids,

47
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: but you're still here and that's fine, but that's the

48
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: one you gotta watch out for. Because when I was

49
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: at Blockbuster, there was like a bunch of high school

50
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 1: kids and then there was like the grown adult that

51
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: worked the same shift that we did. No judgment, but

52
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: it was that was the one that we relied on.

53
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: You for everything that to teach you all the bad Yes, exactly.

54
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: Is so.

55
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm like, oh lord, oh my goodness, I

56
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: don't know who he's going to encounter.

57
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: It do want to work?

58
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: So he had an interview. He went on his first interview,

59
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: and I'm just boohoring, like at home, but I'm like

60
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: texting him like you got this, but I'm really crying.

61
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: He went to Taco Bell. Okay, that's his first interview,

62
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: and then he also applied at Chick fil A. And

63
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: I I don't know why I feel safer with him

64
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: at Chick fil A. It's probably just as bad, but

65
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: it's just like I don't I don't want him to

66
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: have a job.

67
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: Good for him. No, I think it's great. And so

68
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: he didn't ask anybody about this. He just just said,

69
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: so he's taking the initiative. He wants he wants some

70
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: extra money, yes, and so and he wants some independence,

71
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: so he's gonna go get a job. But he didn't

72
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: ask anybody. He just did it. I love it.

73
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: And I did the same thing at sixteen, literally did

74
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: the same thing, and I just think about it, like

75
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 3: it really matured me. I feel like a live was

76
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: a manager at sixteen, you know, like, why do you

77
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: want to put this stress on your life when you

78
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 3: can literally just live for free and ride this thing out?

79
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: Like and I really wish he would do that.

80
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: You should be happy that he wants to do this.

81
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: You should be happy that he has the ambition. And

82
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: I know it. This is really about the fact that

83
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: he's needing you less and less, oh for sure, And

84
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm in your mind, which is not true. He still

85
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: needs you a lot. But this is what this is about,

86
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: is that you are He no longer has to come

87
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: to you now because he's figuring out ways to do

88
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: things for himself, which is what you want.

89
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: It's what you want, but it's also what I don't

90
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: want because like in my min I'm like, who taught

91
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: you your social Security number? Like how did you figure

92
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: that out to even put that on application? Like why

93
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: do you why do you need taxes? I don't need

94
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: you to need taxes right now. I need you to

95
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: just want to go to school, want to play your

96
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: video game and thrive.

97
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, I feel you on that cause

98
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: I think about like Gigi right and my husband habbing,

99
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: I talk about this sometimes we're like, well, when she's

100
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: old enough to get a job, are we gonna let

101
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: her go push carts a jewel like I did? Or

102
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: do I want her to just focus on school, being

103
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: a kid doing sports. I didn't Like I did volleyball,

104
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: but I wasn't involved in sports like that. I would

105
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: love for her to like really just kind of be

106
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: a kid and grow, you know.

107
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: Grow slowly sacrificing something to do this, Like, is it

108
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: is it that he can't, like he has an interest

109
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: in this, but he's not going to be able to

110
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: do that because he's too consumed with getting a job.

111
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: No, but that's how it always starts. Because even for me,

112
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: like I got everything I do, I try to do

113
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: to the best of my ability. So when I got

114
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: a job, I took it very serious. So I was like, Oh,

115
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: I'm not hanging out with my friends anymore. I'm going

116
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: to work. I'm clocking in I'm you know, I got

117
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: a schedule to run. You know, it's like you just

118
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: hurw up so quick. You know, I want him, I

119
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: want him to slow it down. You don't need the job.

120
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: What do you want?

121
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 2: Just text me?

122
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: Because I would say, like if he wants to play football,

123
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: he wants to play basketball or baseball, whatever, and and

124
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: but he feels like he has to get a job

125
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: because he needs extra money, and he's he's putting that

126
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: above right, you know other things. Then I would say,

127
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: if you have the luxury of not of being able

128
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: to supplement him so that he can do that, and

129
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: maybe you weren't able to that's one thing. But if

130
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: he's not sacrificing anything, he's just he's just branching out,

131
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: then I think you've got to reward this. This is good.

132
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: I know you get a monitory, right and who am I?

133
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm not a parent. I don't know what I'm talking about,

134
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: but you gotta I think this is good.

135
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to taco bail every day if he gets

136
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: a job, Like I meet your girl, hook it up?

137
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: Rights counter what
