0:00 this is what he told me his dreams is he goes I'm going to be in the UFC and the NBA and be the first trillionaire and I was like in my brain I'm like that's literally impossible but whatever or do you ever ask him like what are you going to do to get there so he knows all the logical right and then like let's say he wasn't working hard on about what happen they're trying to get in the NBA and he goes I don't want to go to the NBA [Laughter] [Music] anymore welcome back to another episode with men what's mortgage here us uh something really bad just happened with your kid can you tell us about it yeah he was in school uh he's in the the fourth grade and this one kid who kind of they have issues together and went up started kind of humping him no way like just walk up with the clipboard put the

0:51 clipboard against him and start going like and he's a guy and a guy you it my son's like hey stop being gay okay and it offended somebody not the kid who's actually doing the humping a gay kid that was listening I don't know so pretty much he had to talk to him like we had there's discipline action cuz he said that out loud and it offended somebody what's the action like suspension or uh they just talked to they send all these emails and you know if it happens again so if it happens again so recently something did pop off again but that is gay though not wrong Bart you're in trouble can't say that so and I have nothing against gay people like I have gay friends but I even I told them the story like yeah that is gay so it's like okay even yeah that's like yeah you're humping a guy you're kissing a guy in a mouth and you're like come on dude stop being gay and then

1:42 it's like that was a straight act yeah what is he talking about maybe it's the stop part it's like you're not supposed to tell them to stop you're supposed to take it this is gay continue maybe you got to just be like that is inappropriate maybe he he's supposed to say stop uh essing me oh yeah oh maybe so because of that he's nervous at school so actually this happened this week and he didn't defend himself these other kids came up to him hey we took a survey and everyone thinks you're gay and because and then he didn't offend himself because he doesn't want the next one I think would be something with the school cuz you know we already got the letters and the emails and he's just left alone so he's sitting there like what do I do like you know I'm saying like like what do you say as a d you know

2:33 like they didn't prepare us for this ████ back in the day we don't get in trouble for this ████ we just fight and then we get in trouble for that if that happened you fist fight and then you your teachers call you in they they were fighting why cuz this happened well you're both wrong first of all there's nothing wrong about being gay but if someone called you something that you're not and you don't want to be called that now it's like what do you say because 2 weeks before that you know you said that word so like and we already starting to get emails from the school so we don't want to use that word so he's like kind of like a gag order without a g why aren't they concerned about the fact that he was being humped though I thought that or a survey is being taken he got sa like if it was a guy doing that to a girl like wouldn't that be the same like crime I don't know I think that's worse if it's unwanted right than saying hey

3:23 stop is the principal at the school but schools are different these days like dude the way they teach it's all iPad so you think about the the the morale and the way they teach it's been so diluted now because no one wants to offend anybody probably the values of the school if like they have their ████ mourning powow and it's about upholding woke ████ that's probably more important than the actual action it's like let's say if someone whooped your ass but then you offended their feelings and the feelings is like what they're trying to enforce yeah ████ ████ crazy man I don't know I remember in high school people you say all kinds of ████ like if they'll be like they're like let's say you're being cheap or something they'll be like man stop being Chinese right they'll say stu stuff like that and I think that's like mild racism so this would be like mild homophobia

4:15 right so I I guess is that homophobic though to be like hey stop humping me stop being gay it was actually gay I also think in the '90s the values is Stop the Violence there's too much so I think it's just it's just whatever they're trying to and stop the drugs drugs yeah whatever the priority so right now it's stop the stop hurting people's feelings no and then the 2000s was stop bullying oh yeah you're getting participation trophies now yeah they're like you can't you don't know who's winning who's losing anymore it's like hey you getting trophy what do you think would happen if you if your son punched the kid in the face what do you think would happen you know what they don't they don't get kicked out for that so my son so maybe he should do that honestly honestly this might be ████ up but he might have to be like B and then everyone goes okay maybe we'll stop calling him gay all cuz it seems like words are more punished than physical violence so my so my son uh when we did

5:07 we're doing a little bit Jiu-Jitsu so him and this other kid who was a like a troubled kid from the one of the community centers he single leg but he missed and the kid kicked him in the head they just got a warning but no one got letters he got kicked in the face he got kicked in the face he got a nothing happened but the words something happened yeah that's crazy yeah so I think they might be hyper sensitive toward racism and homophobia then that's what it tells me like the gender stuff the the homophobic stuff whatever so like they're trying to prevent those type of actions but then you can beat the crap out of someone as long as it's not motivated by any of those reasons like if it's not a hate crime reason if it's just like I don't like you or whatever it is but that's like a being humped is almost a genderless assault

5:58 like I don't I'm not going to change changed my mind about who's if finding out who it is yeah like if I was just being humped yeah that itself is bad I'm being humped man like that's worse than than saying like stop that what what's worse getting humped yeah it's arguably it was meant to be but it's not a genderless action for The Humper yeah that's true well yeah but I'm just saying you know what I mean that's funny cuz it does way more if it's a boy doing it to a girl but if if you're a boy and a girl did that to you You' be like yeah whatever you know like it wouldn't be that big of a deal but when it's a boy doing to their boy they're nine it's like yeah or or if I'm running down the hallway in the school and I just choose a hum a girl like of course I'm going to get in trouble and you should get you should get in trouble but if I if I go and hump a boy he might get in trouble if he calls me gay so I got way less risky that's crazy that you can just

6:49 like Risk but at n like dude think like the fourth graders doing this like what were you doing at fourth grade were you thinking about I'm probably humping people though but nobody was calling anybody gay over it it was just funny I feel like everybody called each other gay since third grade yeah well we W get we weren't getting called Gay for that we were getting called Gay for having a shirt with a neck was too low or something woring a purple shirt to school dude you bought pay last shoes somebody called you gay your your jeans were too tight somebody called you gay dude you have you hug your sister too K9 t-shirt K9 shirt I wonder how much adult life rubs off on kids too so like let's say like if you're a kid right and like let's say some kid at school breaks into the computer lab and steals a computer and if a adult is trying to chastise I'm like what the ████ and then you point to

7:40 the news you're like they literally broke into the Apple Store nothing happened like how does the now what the teacher like cuz they're supposed to prepare kids for the adult life right and he's like that guy just got let out so you need to let me out oh the kids like this is less than $1,000 so it's just a myy nothing I should come back kid big on views just the news a lot no cuz in California what the teacher would do is actually prepare them for the future so they'll get a whistle and a timer and be like all right guys you got to steal all the computers in under 2 minutes ready and go but the Math teachers they doing the math like make sure you add up the values are all there Ryan Ryan that's over $500 that's the closest you can get to 950 sounds like good training well then what was it like when you guys were in school and then we all saw the riots happen did anybody like

8:30 which one we had so many the main one the Ronney King one we were in elementary school yeah but you all saw it stay inside see that's why you stay inside keep yourself well from my from a stupid mindset and seeing like cuz I was really young but from a stupid mindset seeing like what the older kids were up to in some ways like you know you're so dumb so you're like oh dude if I ever want to get famous you just got to jump the ████ out of someone you know it's like you don't process it the right way damn cuz then I'll see that then I'll see like has stupid logic then I'll see like the the 11year olds beat the ████ out of someone and that guy's famous so then now you're like seven or eight you're like oh ████ don't ask cops questions don't ask them questions yeah cuz you you see you know rodne King get be like dude why would you want to ask a cop a question to stop and talk to a

9:20 like you afraid of cops it did teach me to comply way more yeah like like my hands are on the steering wheel I haveen four my wallets yeah I was scared as ████ of like cops like when cops would come to like school to do the Dare program ████ yeah they were scary everyone would just like look at him like I don't know man I don't know I don't know man is he really a cop every cop in my mind was like Just Like a Stone Cold Steve Austin in police outfit he's going to beat you dude he's going stomp you out what do you think is the police response then let's say you're like you're some other dude is humping you and like what should the cop do about it if you go like police this guy just humped me let me turn on my body cam yeah what's the police response to that versus like a teacher's response like if

10:11 there was a cop on campus I feel like a police would be just like here's pepper spray do do something get get him I want to be so with the teacher so this happened like uh so this recently so the the humping thing happened a couple like about a month ago what recently happened where uh the hey we took took a poll they said you're [Laughter] gay the reviews are in and then he's like who thinks I'm gay and like he can't even he can defend himself so the school actually like so we're fighting all over what other subjects they want you to learn through iPad but through this subject they had a big meeting for the whole classroom about how gay your son is oh my God about that so like they other things they want you to go to iPad or they want you to use a uh ST Math they call it to figure out how your problems or Solutions but this one they

11:01 call like a meeting for the classroom to go over not to use these words so they are very like they're very focused on like using you know right language like when you say they is this is this like is is each teacher able to like create this kind of a focus or is that the teacher has got someone above that I that I don't know I just it feels like that's like each teacher would be the one to do that I think it sounds like the focus of the whole school cuz if the administrators are involved and they're also reinforcing that rule so there can't be a teacher that's like I'm cool I don't really care but when they ask you better say I care cuz I'm sure this is not the first time this happened to any of the grades like I'm sure this happens a lot where kids are calling each other gay and then it becomes a whole ████ thing but how is that like the the funny thing is like

11:51 why are they prioritizing this language thing is it to prevent physical violence because that also happens and they're still not yeah they're not even addressing the that's I mean like you're going to what are you doing trying to prevent humping cuz humping started this so that means in their minds humping students is less of a offense than calling someone gay but what about calling humping gay cuz he's like stop doing the gay thing to me yeah but huming shouldn't be gay then I think I don't know like yeah I just they called them in they have to talk so he felt Vindicated because the school actually did something about it but now it's like it's a language thing so now when you go to school if you want to joke around or when you say words like you have to be very crafty of what you say you got go are you gay for real all right you got to ask but maybe what if it's like can you sign this let me know that you know that I know that it's okay to say it

12:43 what if like cuz the dude that was humping is truly not gay he's like the coolest kid in class and the teacher all Marty's not gay you idiot just humping you Marty's gay you know many girls like this guy I like him how many kids do you you're going to call Marty wiin gay he's the star of the basketball team and he and he's like uh and having a kid who's um not with the In Crowd is kind of you know watching him like you know growing up like man why can't like they're all doing this why can't you do it he's got his own yeah he got like he's uh he reads uh so he's in he's in the slasher movie so like I parents think we're bad parents cuz you know in he likes hor he likes hor like terrified there's that that clown he watched terrify I'm like bro for Halloween everyone dressed up as like Luigi he was like

13:36 Purge you could tell he's not in the incraft oh yeah he's not in the incraft for sure he's like a goth kid I'm tell you when he was younger like a couple years like maybe a year or two years ago I went to school to see how is he doing at school before they put up with the fence I'm like where's my boy at he's walking around recycling when other kids are playing I'm like this guy's walking around kid is tight putting trash away yeah put trash away I'm like this guy volunteered to like pick up trash sit there like watching him through the fence I'm like oh my god this is my boy he's s my boy you know wow that's different I've never seen that doesn't do Sports at that age it's like at ████ lame but as a father that must be like yo who is this kid that's cool like you know like responsible adult stuff that you do younger yeah it's good adults look at that and go oh man that's that's such a

14:27 good kid but then your peers are like why you ████ picking up trash during recess don't you want to play basketball yeah like be a kid man then they're like dude I'mma hump that guy during break man yeah did you ever ask him like how come we're like recycling instead of playing he just likes it you know he just likes doing like he does whatever everyone else he really organized no he is now cuz my my wife made him organized he's like he's transitioned to like being super organized but he's like he's a reader now before he was doing really bad school and you think about being Asian you would think math you didn't have to work about oh my God you know what was like horrible for I'm like bro that's the the other side of you that's not the what does he like to read uh he reads books D he reads he's reading that it book by Stephen King right now he likes horror he's reading that and then he's reading Greek mythology

15:18 like all the other mythology cousins sleeping with cousins brothers sleeping with brothers parents with yeah he's nor so he's like wait at nine yeah he's reading it Dad check it out Griffin he's reading it and then he'll watch it on you yeah a lot of kids just don't fit in when they're too smart for their grade kind of your kid smart man dude when I was in fourth grade I tried to read Harry Potter cuz all the kids are reading it I got through one page and I was like I'm out dude no way I was too dumb for Goosebumps that's what I'm saying I couldn't even read Goosebumps I couldn't read ████ Harry Potter I was like I'm out that's true man I read the first sentence and I'm trying to sound it out takes me 30 minutes and I throw the I just touched the bumpy words on the front page like how do they do this how do they manufacture going to be fine when he grows up or he's going to be a murder as a parent like do you you want him to have social skills cuz you know life think about now like if I made a list of everything my parents made me

16:08 learn and do if I can get rid of 80% of that and focus more on social skills I think I would have developed better as a every everyone has ████ social skills right now everybody man yeah absolutely the difference is that like if he liked recycling right and you're like why why you do that and if the difference is just if he was like I don't know recycling is pretty cool or i b that stick where you can pick it up but does he say like support because I like it Dad like that's the difference you know what I mean like the social skill thing is like he could be doing the same stuff but just how he communicates makes a big difference that is what social skills is yeah when he goes to ji Jitsu does he talk to other kids no he does he's by himself but it's still pretty new for him right no we were going for a little bit and then we stopped because he just wasn't into it but now he's going back cuz he's like I'll only go back if if you go so now I'm going with him but I

16:59 want him to go cuz in case he needs to start defending himself cuz he's easy when you see if you were a kid like I'm thinking if I was his age and I saw him would I pick I would I Punk him so like I Punk him for sure i' Punk him for sure to be able to like know that is like yeah it's like I'm going to punk my own kid so I for sure he needs skills so when I'm watching Jiu-Jitsu and he's seen the this other kid kind of punk him all the time like man but you got to let him go through cuz like even unless cuz like life he's going to get punk up yeah so but don't you don't you find such like an excitement to like the fact that he's different yeah I feel like I'm no father but as a parent you want your kid to be the same cuz it makes your job easy the more different it is the harder of a job you have so imagine like this imagine you have tell them tell them have tell you have a

17:50 burger shop right your best friend next door has a burger shop you make the same it's the same business model yours you have to put in like 80 hours a week a week and you make four 500 Grand a year this guy puts in 80 hours a week and he makes $500 million a year and you're like why am I doing the same effort and the results are way lower and it's actually way harder so when you see other kids that like you show up to school they walk in line whatever you know like like ta when I drop him off at school his school has like these little like pillars and stuff in the building it takes some literally no ████ like 30 minutes to get to class cuz it go like this oh oh my God and I'm just sitting I'm like get the ████ class the Bell rung oh my God I'm

18:43 like so I have to be there to go just get to ████ class please bro T is so slapick he just wants to be a slap he doing that because he knows you're watching or he's just performing for everybody he's just outside the box and then I see the other parents with just normal good kids they go in put the backpack where they're supposed to like or here's open house right you go open house and they're like this is my project you're just like oh look how sweet that all I'm saying of yeah you want them to be the same so it's easier for you but in the future he also might be exceptional at something but the ROI is too long I want it now think if you were the parent of Jeffrey dmer and you saw these behaviors hey man you got to fix this thing right now you know like you can't be eating glue all day long you watch the like think about Jeffrey D these these other kids that end being Sy

19:34 or these adults or syill like maybe there were habits like my son I don't know if my son had or not but maybe I could stop it or maybe like hey maybe you could turn a little bit this way you know so we tried like we did try to ████ football things he just wasn't doing it but he's a runner this kid at 9 years old can run a mile almost non he's imagining all the clowns again but he runs it in he runs it in Crocs or bear I'm like this kid like running I CW like bro this like is he running from is he Croc country dude he might be like you saying Bol or something that's dope dude like so like he'll run and then but like like said he just picks random things to be good at things that like that's not not say anything so but activities are the best way to like get your social skills out you find people that are into what you do but he doesn't want to talk

20:24 to other people like the reason why he pied running cuz my his mom is like hey we got to do something so like we're jiujitsu now but we have to do something so we tried things like no I just want like all right then you have to run this L I'm thinking he'll pick the sport over the lap cuz it's like a mile it's boring yeah like you I'll run I'll run I'm like hey you want to go play basketball you want to go I don't need to run and talk to somebody what is his like physical delivery when he talks is he like like very like that yeah yeah or he's always apologizing for something like stop apologizing man I'm sorry Dad I'm sorry Dad like no one's going to do anything to you don't be sorry where do you think got that from is that a personal trait you have I think I had it too for a while but I didn't like I don't ever show him that side but it's like it in him so I'm like trying to tell stop apologizing for something so you think that you at some point in your young life you developed like this personality have because you're very like outgoing

21:14 and extroverted the way you cuz it pays the bills so I told him like Hey I had to develop this skill I got to pay the bills but at what point do you think it actually kicked in probably a couple years ago like you getting hump like three people calling you gay spread rubers by you f I'll buy you out I'm bu about that give me a better rate no they I in sales I used to be called the the prairie dog the prairie dogs when you line up the calls but you didn't close cuz I didn't have the clothes so like you you get them on the phone then you pass on get them on the phone you pass on it's a prairie dog I used to be a prairie dog now I'm like the closer but before I was a prairie dog but it took a while cuz the prairie dog only makes x amount So eventually you have to evolve if you want to go surpass the prairie dog that's see there you go maybe just like a late bloomer because maybe later on or just start making your kid pay the Sals already start getting him on some sales calls man see what he does something so right now he's uh we're

22:04 like so we already are you doing this with your kid like we go down a career path we start working on taxes already like hey how much you can get tax so we're working on we do we talk about finances yeah so we go like he got this card so he just got a Pokemon card but he was stressed out last year he would get I got a $50 gift certificate okay if I buy this and this I'm like how much your taxes get dad like oh I can't buy this right now so that's the good thing he's figuring that out but he doesn't know how to get the money so now we're working on how to get money so like okay what do you want to do what do you want to do like and I mind I'm thinking I hope this guy doesn't want to go to college cuz it's going to be expensive he ain't going to get ████ out of it oh yeah he's going in that direction so the next part like trying to figure out like what he's going to do with his my kid still so his dreams is this is what he told me his dreams is he goes I'm going to be in the UFC and the NBA and be the first trillionaire and I was like in my brain I'm like that's literally impossible but

22:56 whatever hey you know what's funny Within the trillionaire thing might be more impossible or do you ever ask him like what are you going to do to get there and that's when my son goes no he knows so he goes I got to work hard at Jiu-Jitsu I got to do good on basketball so he knows all the logical ████ right and then like let's say he wasn't working hard on what happened they're trying to get in the NBA and he goes I don't want to go to the NBA anymore man like he'll get ████ like blocked hella hard you know and then he's all demotivated the rest of practice or something how about when uh in Jiu-Jitsu if he gets beat up how does he deal with the getting beat up so this guy's a ████ scumbag like he'll par like he like he's like on one of the days the parents can watch right so like let's say uh I'm watching and then I see him like get taken down by a move I know he can defend like through the glass I'm like

23:47 and he's like and he goes to the literally the lowest white belt and just mopping the ████ floor with them and he's looking at me what a bully ████ I'm like that's not the ████ point so like we have a a system of uh how you can earn money and I go if you get a submission or take like submissions two bucks take Downs $1 but it has to be your rank or higher oh so that was like so like I'm try I have to gamify everything and the game constantly changes cuz he's a scoundrel so you'll find loopholes so he's a scoundrel so now I'm like do go ahead go go to the white Bel and mop the floor with them but you're not going to get ████ so you just wasted a whole round so now he has to go like like you know he like check everyone's belts is this guy good yeah I don't like yeah he's your same rank but he's ████ two years younger so now have to

24:38 find even more contingencies you know you sunk too man that me going to be successful dude he's going to be successful only fight Wars you can win
