1:00It's been a skin show. Happy Monday. We're going to give away some tickets to a concert a little bit later unnamed. Gotta listen though and use that iHeart app to win right now. It's time for this. He's an irrational quick-triggered nuclear overreactor. He's a masterful storyteller who consistently finds himself drowning in a sea of awkward. It's time for now. We're talking about deep element a little bit in sharks and I you know shark attacks in deep element rare but I do think it's similar in that it when there's a bunch of media coverage about something or you see something it sticks in your head it may not happen all the time. It's like shark attacks don't happen all the time but we had a lady in our shows from Salina who you know they it's shark eight or calf off. You know it's like okay it those numbers you're like oh more people die via toaster yeah but that sucks if you're the one who you know a toaster kills or if you're the one that gets eaten by shark.
2:02Yeah it doesn't mean that it doesn't happen just because it happens less than cancer you know or rabies yeah another example of that is I see videos on social media with teachers being disrespected in the classroom by students and it makes me go good god I would never teach for anything or you see you know you see police officers pull someone over and they are just fighting the officer for the minute they start asking for anything and I was like gosh I would that is such a hard job but teachers I don't know how they maintain their composure if they're being so disrespected even physically and there ends up being fights and so I think one of the biggest problems is that parents enable parents enable kids so freaking much and so I saw this over the weekend and I thought we should take a list of this is a teacher who posted four actual emails that he had received from parents and let's take a listen to each one emails that I've gotten from parents part one here we go up first hi we noticed Mason has been bringing
3:07home homework we're trying to protect his mental health and family time so we don't really do homework in our house is there any way he can still get full credit without completing it thanks for understanding Mason's mom no sorry Mason's mom not at work but mental health amen protect his peace did mental health thing is has gotten to where people have figured out what it was learned a little more about it and then some people have gotten great treatment for it right by doing the things you need to do go to therapy and doing the thing and some people have decided you know what I think I'm going to weaponize it we don't really do homework well we do give homework at the school right maybe get them to learn a trade and just give up on the whole school thing yeah all right so there's one let's go to email number two Tyler next one hello received your message about Tyler talking during class I just want to say Tyler does not talk at home and less
4:08spoken to so I'm confident there's been a misunderstanding please investigate further concerned parents investigate investigate okay hold on was Tyler talking so teenagers don't like to talk at home they don't like to talk to their parents I can tell you that firsthand it doesn't mean that they go to school and don't interact with friends or do things socially or communicate also the teachers are putting a tough spot here too because the teachers can't just like if you want me to investigate well I need evidence well I can't really be filming your child either yeah yeah kind of like in a tough spot there man when I have teachers reach out to me about my kids in their behavior it there walking on eggshells because they don't know what they're going to experience and I'm like I'm one of those parents who was like would always tell our friends if you see my kids in your neighborhood around your house and they're acting like a holes spank them yourself like I don't like you have had it feel free to
5:09parent my kids while there if you see them you know what I mean yeah that would be so weird though I'm sorry cut you off no you're fine have you ever have y'all had another parent spanking when you're a kid no it's never happened but it's like dude it takes a village sometimes right and like I want to give the teachers full authority if my kid acts up break out the paddle I'm not going to run down and say oh no let me you know no discipline their ass is it literally um I hope two more houses this is Olivia I saw that Olivia has a 72 we were hoping for at least a 90 is there anything we can do to adjust that we feel like a B better reflects her potential let me know what paperwork I need to fill out Olivia's mom okay Olivia's mom just thinks we can just do a quick paperwork yeah they're all turning the paperwork for a Alicia didn't offer to pay him how much money to get her to a B one more next one good morning Emma was late because it was raining and she doesn't like the rain it
