Speaker 3:Yeah, I can sleep through war.
Speaker 1:Me too. No, I hear it, I'm up and I get up a lot because I got to pee like an old lady. You know, mom bladder.
Speaker 2:Yo, this morning I had to pee so bad and I just stayed right there. No, didn't happen, didn't happen, no.
Speaker 3:I do it. I can't get up, like I want to get up, but I know the moment I get up, that's it. Yeah, my sleep is trumpeted. I'm just like you know what. Let me sit here, let me just go to sleep, and I fall asleep. But then, when I wake up, sometimes y be in pain. There was one point where I couldn't even walk.
Speaker 1:Why is that? Is it because we're 40 now?
Speaker 3:No, no, I've had it forever.
Speaker 2:If I hold my pee for too long. I'm just like. I'm just feeling like my bladder's in my lap.
Speaker 1:So do you think it's. Your bladder has changed as you got older.
Speaker 3:I would believe so, Because you know mom bladder like we can't hold. That's from birth, though, isn't it Like from giving birth?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so do you think with? Age you have to pee more.
Speaker 3:No, when you get old, like when you're in bed. I've always been like a serial peer and then I get checked and everything. There's nothing wrong with me, nothing wrong with my. No, you are.
Speaker 1:Yo, I do notice he's always like I gotta tinkle. I it doesn't matter. Well, I wish food ran right through me instead of on me, so I won't be called the big girl anymore Yo let me make a quick point.
Speaker 3:man, what was?
Speaker 2:that motherfucking, stupid-ass comment.
Speaker 3:What.
Speaker 2:The guy was like, oh, that big girl's a problem.
Speaker 3:I was like you don't, know okay, you don't know.
Speaker 2:I was like, excuse me, I didn't see that comment.
Speaker 1:I just put, laughing, my ass off on it.
Speaker 3:That was my next thing. Is his account private and does he have a picture?
Speaker 1:I didn't even check. I didn't even check either, because I was quick to be, like I just put mad laughing mode.
Speaker 2:When I see some dumb shit that's the first thing I do.
Speaker 3:Yo, are you private and do you have a picture? If those two things are missing, there's lying to you and shit like whoa?
Speaker 2:are you telling you some? Secret you're like no, I actually love boston. I don't understand the point of like commenting about someone's either, like how they're looking their weight, like like okay, I'm sorry, perfect, are you perfect? You're not perfect, so shut the fuck up.
Speaker 3:That takes time, bro.
Speaker 1:You really waste it, doesn't bother me anymore because I'm confident. Yeah, you know, I feel confident, comfortable in my skin.
Speaker 3:You're good. How do you care?
Speaker 1:And if we don't, then what are we teaching our kids?
Speaker 3:100% Right.
Speaker 1:Especially. You know I'm more in a line with like that says when you're putting makeup on, don't tell your kids you're getting pretty, you're putting on makeup on to get pretty. Just telling them you want to be fancy, you're being fancy because then they think they need makeup to look pretty so that really like stuck with me. I'm like you know what I have to make more like conscious of my vocabulary when I'm talking to.
Speaker 3:All I'm doing right now is filtering. That's all you got to tell them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, filtering out these spots on my face, all these dark circles.
Speaker 2:I'm like sorry, I'm putting on my clown face when I open the door for him. He goes you're filtering Whisper and I was like shut the fuck up Now listen, I can't hide my wrinkles, so I get a little upset.
Speaker 3:You have no wrinkles, Johnny. Look at this.
Speaker 1:Nah, listen, I can't hide my wrinkles, so I get a little upset. You have no wrinkles, Johnny Look at this.
Speaker 2:They're called laugh lines. Shut the hell up.
Speaker 1:Well you're not walking around with your face like a boho.
Speaker 2:But you starfish, what the hell All right girls.
Speaker 3:Let's jump into some topics.
Speaker 2:Anyway, yes, yes, enough of us, you know. Speaking of bodily functions oh tummy, Enough of us you know. Speaking of bodily functions, Tell me let's talk about. There was a post today that came up about girls having their periods earlier than 20, 30 years ago.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a thousand percent. So it said 20, 30 years ago, the average age was 12. And now girls as young as nine are getting it and they want to know what's causing it.
Speaker 2:I will say I don't agree with that. I don't agree with it because in my family the girls have always gotten it early For me. I felt like I was getting it late because I got it when I was 11.
Speaker 1:I think I 11,. I got it at 11 also. I thought that was pretty average. My sister got it at 11 also. I thought that was pretty average.
Speaker 2:My sister got it when she was eight. Eight, she was eight.
Speaker 3:My aunt as well, like nine, but for the most part most of them got it later. Yeah, but there's cases man.
Speaker 2:There are. There are a lot of cases and a lot of people are saying like, if you read the comments and there's a lot of insight in our food in America.
Speaker 3:That's what I was going to say it's the food, it's the products, it's even the freaking water we drink. I saw this I was talking about it this weekend, about young periods and stuff like that. I have daughters, so I'm talking about it with. I guess he's my cousin, my cousin's man, and we're talking about his daughter getting her period.
Speaker 3:She just got it and we're having a conversation and I'm just like yo. I just read an article where this guy said careful with giving your daughter's tap water because it's known, especially in higher dense areas like cities right when people throw so many chemicals and whatnot in the water.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they make their iced tea and all that stuff with tap water. And that's the problem, because we look at it like and that's exactly what he was saying.
Speaker 3:He's like it's not like you're drinking from a faucet, but when you make your coffee, when you make your iced tea, when you make your tang, whatever your ice, you're over here drinking it, no matter what. So you're like no, I don't. It's spiking the numbers right in terms of female development.
Speaker 2:So maybe not their periods, but they are developing sooner, yeah, but well, when they're getting their periods right. So your body's natural, that's telling you that you're ready to be childbearing To be making babies Unfortunately that's like the telltale sign, and so obviously the body is going to develop, because now you have to get into yeah, you got to have the fat in your thighs, your system, you know you have to be able to carry a child.
Speaker 2:And so, with all the hormones in our, in, everything that we do, all the foods, all the meats and stuff, um it's. It's so funny because my stepdaughter, she stopped eating meat two years ago. She's been been meatless. She's 11.
Speaker 3:This was a decision on her end.
Speaker 2:On her own end. Yeah, no, she's 12. She's 12. So for two years and she has not been sick since. Really she has not. She used to get strep throat every year. She used to get multiple colds, like all of that stuff, and now she like she has not been sick.
Speaker 3:What's the bacteria? Yeah, I remember we're eating a dead animal, we're eating something dead, putting death into our life. I still eat meat. I'm not going to tell you, I'm going to stop, but there's times where I try to be conscious of it, because then I'm like well, you know what, this plant is dead. So if I'm eating salad it's dead anyway. Shut your mouth.
Speaker 1:But you know what? But you know what I did notice Katie. She's going to be eight now in August and she's already at that age where she asked me why her nipples were hard, like it felt hard, and that's the breasts are starting to develop, because I started developing early, when I was in fifth grade. I was like a full maybe like a full B cup.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, but she's going to be eight, so she's starting early. I remember so fifth grade I was what 10? And I was full. So I'm thinking back. Maybe I started around eight Genetics, yeah, so it could be genetics.
Speaker 3:What about harmony it?
Speaker 1:could be hormones. Harmony also, Harmony same.
Speaker 3:She started early. She was 10 years old.
Speaker 1:She was fifth grade she had a full cup also Wow. Jackie didn't bloom until, like her, late 20s, Shut your mouth and then it was just like pa-pow. That was the only thing that.
Speaker 2:I had, I was like a B cup forever.
Speaker 1:But also other signs of puberty are like their attitude changes, body odor, because I had to start giving her deodorant to put on at seven, because she got the funk Same.
Speaker 3:I thought it was like something weird.
Speaker 1:No, and Don's daughter. The other day I was like babe, you need to buy her deodorant, she's only six.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And I was like what is that onion smell? And it was her underarms. That's the same shit.
Speaker 3:And I was like yo, what in the world did you eat? And I'm like I didn't eat anything. And then we look and we're just like confused. And then she's like come over here the essence, yo. So it starts.
Speaker 1:No, no, but it's natural. And those are the changes where your body starts changing that early. Well, it's funny, because the other day.
Speaker 2:Like you know, Ami's so innocent and if he needs something he tells me. So we were going to the beach and who's?
Speaker 1:oh, I picked up Romeo, and I picked up Devin's friend, and Devin's friend is sitting next to Ami and he's like yo, you stink, Damn.
Speaker 2:And I was like. I was like I'm listening to this whole conversation and they're getting at him or whatever, and he's not saying nothing and I'm like. So I look in the mirror and I'm like papi, you need deodorant. I got deodorant in my bag, just spray it, because I have the spray on. And I'm like just spray it and like to shut them up because they were being assholes they're like come on, you know you're not doing this, ac you better than me.
Speaker 3:The air is circulating. I'll be like yo your face things bro. Watch your fucking mouth.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did tell my son. I was like he's my least favorite.
Speaker 3:Damn Made it to the ship. She came to my house and she was like I'm never taking that Damn she was like but what happened?
Speaker 2:And then Romeo and Ami, they're like coming into the room and they're nosy.
Speaker 1:They're just standing like this, we're talking, and they're like, and I'm like look at these nosy kids Like man nosy.
Speaker 2:I don't think that they liked him very much yeah.
Speaker 3:I think he's done.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think he's done.
Speaker 3:Stinky breath bastard.
Speaker 1:But, then that goes to it makes. How was he raised at home? What are his parenting styles?
Speaker 2:I'm not going to tell you what his mom's occupation is, but she is Sister. No, I wish she is.
Speaker 3:Only fans.
Speaker 2:She is.
Speaker 1:Don't say it. In the court system Okay.
Speaker 3:Oh I get it All right. So, she's on trial. No, oh, I get it now, now. I get it now, now I get it.
Speaker 2:She's the head of the court system. Oh yeah, I like that. So she's probably.
Speaker 1:Caso cerrado.
Speaker 3:Yeah but she don't have time to be there.
Speaker 2:That's why he's all fucking reckless Damn. And the thing is that he's like a very hardworking kid. He's just an asshole.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's cool then, as long as you're telling me that he does.
Speaker 2:He's an overachiever.
Speaker 3:I love that.
Speaker 2:Wow.
Speaker 1:Okay, well then, that's not nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 3:No, but he needs better interpersonal skills.
Speaker 1:Correct. So that brings us to the next subject.
Speaker 2:Pass those On parentscom.
Speaker 1:Did you see the subject? So it's basically do you like? Oh, strict parenting? No, it says. I love parentscom Should you criticize a friend's parenting, I don't. And low key we may have, we may to ourselves, but not to them.
Speaker 2:No, I won't, Because I feel like that's such a touchy subject and also it's none of my business how you parent. I cannot dictate what happens in your home. If your kids are with me, if they're behaved with me, I don't give a shit. If they're assholes with me. I'm never taking them again.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know, but I'm never going to judge the way somebody parents, because then that brings in. Well, you do this and you do that with your kids.
Speaker 3:And only you know your kids. Yeah, it's hard for people to really understand that Everybody has these stern rules. There are no fucking absolutes when you're raising children. Yeah, like you can try to do certain things, but if you know your kid's demeanor, how they are, I can't tell you. Yo, your kid should be sleeping at 8.30 pm bro, Yep. Maybe you're good in the morning.
Speaker 2:This little maniac right here. He doesn't go to sleep until like 11.30 at night. Yeah, no, he doesn't?
Speaker 1:Yeah, he be knocking me out too. So in the past I've spoken about other people's parenting styles with other people, but not directly to them, because at the end of the day, they're doing what they have to do and their kids are fed, they have a roof over their heads, as long as they're not being abused. But you know I have talked shit.
Speaker 3:Maybe not about you, but maybe about other people's parenting skills. Like you know, I have talked shit.
Speaker 1:Maybe not about you, but maybe you know about other people's parenting skills. Like you know, she's a little too hard.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, and that's the other subject too.
Speaker 3:That's a good criticism, though I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:No like too hard.
Speaker 1:And the fact that Sometimes, like it's like breaking the video game because they don't listen.
Speaker 3:What are you teaching your kid at that point?
Speaker 2:Okay, well, okay, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 3:She did it, don't judge her.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2:I have not thrown it out the window, but I will tell you that, Ruben, I love you so much.
Speaker 3:I'm so sorry I did this to you.
Speaker 2:I did this to you. I apologize.
Speaker 3:He's over it, but that's why he's got a whole freaking gaming setup now.
Speaker 2:So when he was younger I bought him the wii right and he was. He was just not doing good in school and I like I tried I used to wake him up to do his homework, like it was. It was bad. I freaking took his wii and I gave it to his cousin damn what did he do though? He was just. He was being a freaking maniac at school. He was not doing anything.
Speaker 1:Did you want him before I did?
Speaker 3:That's not wrong. I did yeah, because it's not like you broke it. No, no, no, no, no, I gave it away.
Speaker 2:Damn, you didn't even hide it.
Speaker 3:You gave it to another child in need. He literally was like you don't deserve it.
Speaker 2:However, it wasn't the right thing to do. I should have just thrown it away.
Speaker 1:Because that was a fucking waste of money. Yeah, that was like $300 back then.
Speaker 3:I just had that convo with my cousin Buddha, my godson, do you guys buy his graduation that Friday?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:He's done so amazing, but it's because at the beginning of the year yo he was effing up and Buddha was like-.
Speaker 1:It was a high school graduation.
Speaker 3:Junior high. He's going now to Kellenberg, I believe, One of those nice Catholic schools that are expensive as shit. Yeah, Good luck, but we had that convo. He's like yo? Is that the first two months Like this dude was playing fucking games. I took away everything. I didn't take it away for like a week. He thought it was going to be like a week. I took it away at the end of the school year and his grades have shown he took it to the next level. He made different honor rolls Because you have nothing else to do.
Speaker 3:And you want it back eventually. And I told him, yo, he probably got used to it now and it's like he doesn't need it.
Speaker 1:Out of sight, out of mind.
Speaker 2:I feel like my kids will be like oh well, I'll start playing with my thumbs.
Speaker 3:That's what I would do. Ami would do that shit, you can't let your mom win Ami would be like. I'd never let my mom win. I'd be like, oh damn, All right, Inside you're like dying and shit.
Speaker 2:But it's like fuck, I need my Nintendo 64 for that's Ami. He would go in me win.
Speaker 1:See my mom wasn't strict, but I wish she was strict on me more, Like there were times when I would just be like, oh, I don't want to go to school.
Speaker 2:She'd be like all right, don't go See. And you know how I feel about that. My kids give me a good reason.
Speaker 1:I didn't have any reason. I just wanted to stay in there and listen. That's what days off no we sure did.
Speaker 3:You stole your days off, yeah we stole them, but in order for my kids, not to steal them.
Speaker 2:This is why I was like, okay, you need a mental health day, cool, that's fine. Because I didn't want it to be like oh, your kid didn't go to school today. Then I'm checking your location and then you're all the way on the other side of town.
Speaker 2:That's the problem. But I agree, I wish that my parents were more strict with me, because I was staying over at everybody's house. You know, it was never a problem. I was always in somebody's house and they never asked me about homework, they never asked me how school was, and that's why I missed three quarters of the school year. Oh, no. Like it was crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember that last eighth grade that I almost didn't make it to high school because I was half the year I was gone, so that last quarter I was making sure I was doing all my work Crunch time and I passed Summer school just to get into high school.
Speaker 3:See, I'm the opposite. My mom didn't play that shit and I'm always thankful for it.
Speaker 1:She was strict.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm always thankful, and she wasn't strict to the degree of like you can't do anything, but it was like no, I don't got time for games. There's no shit, I need to know where you're at. My mother was one of those old school crazy people that come out in the streets and try to find me.
Speaker 2:See my parents were not like that. If I was too far to hear my father's whistle when I pick it from the house.
Speaker 3:It was a wrap, damn yeah. And I you know, again, I enjoy it. I'm glad she did it. At the time I hated it. I used to be like yo, but my cousin this, my cousin this, that da-da-da, she's like I'm not my sister right why are we having this conversation?
Speaker 3:do I look like my sister? No, I don't. I'm the oddball in the family. My mother always loves saying that shit, cause she is. She don't look anything like her sisters. Um man, it's true, and now I look at it, the same like with my daughter. She's like, but such and such. I'm like, oh, that's what's Keep it going Like fuck. Do I care what they're doing?
Speaker 1:So in your point of view, like in your opinion, what makes someone a strict parent?
Speaker 3:I think strict is and that's why it's so hard to measure that. But I think anything that seems like you're just going over a specific level right, like let's say that that's an extreme. When you go into an extreme, you know what an extreme is. If you're at the point where you're breaking video game systems or you know you're taking away phones for an entire year, like there is certain things where you're like all right, that's a little bit extreme, because what do you learn by that? I think sometimes when you go to that level of being super strict, the kids abide at that time, but sooner than later they learn tactics and learn ways where I don't trust you anymore, because you're showing them you don't trust them.
Speaker 1:They're like all right, cool. I guess we don't trust each other. And I think once you become too strict, that's when your kids are really going to rebel against you. Oh, 100%. And then at that point you kind of lose control.
Speaker 2:And there's a fine line, because there's being too strict, which is the extreme, and then there's being too friendly.
Speaker 3:The other extreme Right.
Speaker 2:Yes, so it's finding that balance. I believe being too strict is, yes, the extreme. Saying no to everything. You can't go out because of this. Because I said so Right, because I said so I hate because I said so right because I said so I hate because I said so.
Speaker 2:I hate that, like your kids are never gonna come to you for anything. Like you're, you're supposed to be their safe space. So the because I said so, like my mom used to do that all the time, it's like why, why, why. And she would be like because, why is a crooked letter?
Speaker 1:And I was like but because I said so, it doesn't give them a reason, so that they can understand.
Speaker 3:You're not using logic? No, you're not. So then you want them to use logic when you're being illogical. Exactly Like even with Penelope. I forgot what she responded the other day. It was kind of like I don't, because I didn't feel like it and I said nah, that doesn't work. When have I ever given you the answer? If I don't feel like it, I always explain. I'm exemplatory Like yo. This is because of this. Because of that reason, whether the reason is wrong or right, I explain to you why I'm doing what I'm doing. So I cannot permit you to give me that answer, but it's the answer that I have in my head, like, all right, we'll work on it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and get back to me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't do the. I don't know, you don't know, I don't know doesn't live here. So I kicked that guy out a long time ago. I don't know, and it wasn't me. They don't go here anymore. Today, Devin decided that he wanted to go to his friend's house Mom, can you take me? I'm like no, I have to at his friend's house in Jackson Heights.
Speaker 1:How did he get there?
Speaker 2:He took an Uber. I put him on the Uber teen account and now he's like how much is that? No, it's free, but they use your credit card.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's not free. That's girl math, it's free for them it comes out of your account.
Speaker 3:I was like wait, the school system is writing free Uber.
Speaker 2:Word. No wish it was not free.
Speaker 1:I don't know how much it was I'm afraid to look.
Speaker 2:Yeah because that's quite a ride. But I did tell him I was like I am not. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not comfortable with you being in that location. I don't like that neighborhood. I'm going to call it what it is. It is the freaking ghetto over there, especially summertime in New York City, jackson Heights.
Speaker 3:Jackson Heights got crazy. What street do you know? I'm going to tell you right now Craxton Heights.
Speaker 1:That's what they called it. Yeah, really.
Speaker 3:I lived on 90th for a bit. Oh yeah, Jesus.
Speaker 1:Christ, I don't know anything about that. On the left side of the transition or the right side of the transition?
Speaker 3:On this side where Denman is at. So not going towards Northern Boulevard, going this way, like going more towards that way, and I remember I used to tell Mikey that he's like yo, crackson Heights, I'm like man get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 2:He's on 91st, 91st and 34th Avenue.
Speaker 1:Yeah, see, it's scary in the summertime, especially in New York City.
Speaker 3:It's not bad though.
Speaker 2:It ain't good. No, yeah, yeah, Listen it's you know, get out the Uber, go to the house, whatever.
Speaker 1:Are you staying in the house or are you going to be outside in the streets, in the park?
Speaker 2:I told him he went over there because he wanted to watch the Yankee game. Okay, I'm cool with that Because 91st and Northern Boulevard.
Speaker 3:That's right by ADA. I know that area well. Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 2:It's not terrible.
Speaker 3:The precinct is right there on 96th Street and Northern, so he's in a better area than deeper in Jackson Heights.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, it's not the other side.
Speaker 3:Once you get to like, 74th and Rosie and all that stuff.
Speaker 1:No, if their inside is good. But New York City summers are the best, but not for these kids in the streets, because you hear the worst stories about New York City summers like especially like kids at parks where they're just no look at all the things that are happening.
Speaker 2:Look at that. Listen, it didn't happen here, but you know, if you go like the things that are happening right now, all these stabbings with teenagers.
Speaker 3:You see the shit in the deli Talking about Jackson.
Speaker 2:Heights. Oh shit, that's where it was. That happened in the corner of my sister's house.
Speaker 1:Get the fuck out of here when the deli worker got beat up. Yeah, I saw that video.
Speaker 2:Kept kicking them on the floor. No, no, not that one you got to watch it. No, there's another one that was on the news.
Speaker 1:So what do you guys think about? Did you see the video of that subway surfer? They had to bleep him out. It was like 14-year-old kid and his head I think it was on a 7 train hit one of the signs. He got decapitated right he didn't die there, but I don't know what happened. But they showed the police officers trying to have people back up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that shit must have ripped his neck.
Speaker 1:But do you see these videos? Like I feel like all these teenagers in the city, like they're just living so on the edge right now.
Speaker 2:Because, like, let's talk about the other part of not being strict. You're not caring about your kids, you're letting them do all these freaking things. You're not paying attention to what they're doing, who they're with, where they're at. Like, there's a certain degree of, yeah, do I let my kids, you know, skip school one or two days, you know? Because I don't feel like it, of course, because everybody needs a mental health day. I don't want to freaking go to work all the time I get it. However, my kids are not on the subway, subway surfing, acting crazy in the streets but it's because you allow them to have their freedom correct.
Speaker 1:But what makes? What do you think makes these kids want that? You think it's the adrenaline rush.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Or the peer pressure of oh, let's do this. Social media.
Speaker 3:Yeah, social media. So notice a lot of these times you're seeing this. Why? Because their friends are recording it. Yeah, this out, let's put this on our ig. They want the likes, the views and, I think as well, the parents that are allowing these kids to go out and do certain things. Most of the time is because they have this false security of yo. You have a cell phone so I know where you're at at all times, this and that, and it's scary because it's a plus and it's a negative. I think about, like I said, I used to be, I used to be on the streets, I used to be in baron's house at like 1130 at night, stuff like that, and I would be walking and I'd tell my mom yeah, yeah, I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming, but she had to call me at Bayron's house, whereas now if I had a cell phone.
Speaker 3:She'd probably feel a little bit more secure, like, okay, you're walking, okay, ba ba ba, ba, ba ba. So that's why you have to have open communication. You have to be able to talk to your kids and be like yo look, whatever you want to do, you do it. Keep me in the loop. I'm not here to stop you. I'm not here to kill your fun. My parents killed my fun. I'm not doing that to you. Yeah, like by all means.
Speaker 1:But if I know better I can do better for. But if they're, if you see that they're moving fast and you know they're not, going anywhere like question your kids like what are you doing? Where are you? Why are you on the top of the train?
Speaker 3:yeah, how you got to from flushing the corona. I see you on the train line like where are you going?
Speaker 2:yeah, no, there there's definitely the line of I don't care. And then this poor mom is probably out there like who knows?
Speaker 1:And then what happens? These kids are going to have permanent if they do survive, they're going to have permanent brain injuries. No, that's not For what. And then your friends that you're riding the train with they're not going to come visit you in the hospital the first day maybe, but once you're in a like a vegetative vegetative state or in a wheelchair, they're not going to chill with you, no more.
Speaker 3:It's also very rare at that age for you to really internalize what's happening, right. So that's your friend. He does this like damn yo. That shit's crazy. It hurts. Da, da, da, da da. Alright, friends.
Speaker 1:Right, and they're still not gonna stop it. No, yeah.
Speaker 3:Cause they're gonna do the same thing. Just don't do the same shit as Frankie. Yeah, remember what happened to Frankie? Ha ha, I got it. I'm good, I'm better.
Speaker 1:Duck this time. Just be more aware of what your kids are doing. In the summer, yes, plan activities. And if you can't afford to do things, there's so many things that you can do. That's have a New York City. All the public pools are open now in the summer. The beaches but make sure in the beaches too, you're watching your kids, you're letting them know what a riptide is, because that's another thing. Because what happened the other day? Yeah, reese, the two kids, two teenagers, got caught in a riptide, passed away.
Speaker 3:That's how my boy died in 2016.
Speaker 1:On a riptide.
Speaker 2:And they were unsupervised Nah.
Speaker 1:They had the flag too. No swimming in that area.
Speaker 3:Well, that's why, yeah, if it all falls back to that, though, the conversations with your kids.
Speaker 1:Trust with your kids. Follow the rules.
Speaker 3:Feeling like they can converse.
Speaker 2:I always tell them and they think that I'm crazy. But I don't give a shit. Don't act crazy in these streets, don't embarrass me, don Don't embarrass yourself, don't do drugs, don't do. I tell them all the things, all the Don't rob nobody, don't steal, don't do. And they're like mom and I'm like no cigarettes.
Speaker 3:We know already Stop, don't drink. Let me re-implement it.
Speaker 2:I don't care, I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it.
Speaker 1:And Romeo's thing I remember like don't say I'm freaking yapping, okay, I hate that, ma you yapping, no, that's that new thing.
