00:01:54.660He gets right up next to the microphone.
00:01:56.360I hear you can almost hear the eyelashes hit each other.
00:01:59.320You've never seen Italy so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween.
00:02:04.820Listen to Artists on Artists on Artists on Artists every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:58:59.160I'm not telling you don't do this, but I've lived a hefty amount of life and I've seen
00:59:03.200the worst sides of this thing and trust me it's not what you think granted if they're anything
00:59:09.820like me which something tells me they will be it's probably uh they're gonna be curious
00:59:13.740and they're probably gonna do it anyways because i i also don't want to tell them to
00:59:18.860not do something because sometimes bro you just gotta learn for yourself but especially did your
00:59:24.520dad have an open conversation or was it like fear-based like anytime it brought up or was
00:59:30.060it never brought up oddly enough bro drugs alcohol and sex as open as my family is were never talked
00:59:38.300about remotely yeah remotely that's where i think the the damage can happen i think like you're
00:59:44.320probably an outlier in that situation but like the parents that think that like not talking about it
00:59:50.140and like just you know hoping that like or just using fear like dude that does so much damage i
00:59:56.540I think the message I think the message needs to continue to be don't do I think you need to at least at some point in your life as a parent slip don't do drugs into the conversation like like no because I would I my messaging simply would be like this is what will happen no probably don't do drugs I think if you're a parent though and you don't want to drill like don't do drugs it'd be like what if that's what you should like my mom my mom it's so funny I tell people
01:00:25.740this sometimes she told me that i could do anything i wanted except for get a street bike
01:00:34.440a handgun or a tattoo oh she shouldn't and i always i always say that to i go mom you could0.99
01:00:40.400have fucking told me you could have just added heroin into the mix too it would have saved me0.99
01:00:43.980a bunch of fucking problems uh but oh wait and no did i say cigarettes she didn't want me smoking0.99
01:00:49.660cigarettes either even though she's fucking smoke cigarettes until i was like yo i just think i0.99
01:00:53.100think i think i have i'm very optimistic about the way my kid will be and i will have hopefully0.98
01:01:00.600developed a sense of trust between him and i where he knows if words leave my mouth they have weight
01:01:05.640so when i say like hey man probably don't do drugs it's it's with the underlying assumption1.00
01:01:11.540that like hey man probably don't do drums drugs because that's fucking stupid yeah i think my0.98
01:01:16.620my parents did a good job of not we didn't really talk about it too much but they did a good job of0.99
01:01:21.900making sure i was hanging out with good kids oh that's important they were connected to good
01:01:26.820parents so like if if i ever started hanging out with a like one of those like borderline
01:01:31.780you know kids like they would they would step in and be like you're not gonna hang out and they
01:01:35.820would like get in the way of it so i'm trying but they were like brothers to me already like she
01:01:39.740tried so hard this one kid matt the same kid that banged my high school sweetheart she was like this0.96
01:01:45.860kid's a fuck she hated matt dude and he and like by the way he's still he's still in trouble but0.97
01:01:51.880like he is sometimes like sometimes that conversation could be hard for0.99
01:01:55.880parents because sometimes you just create that brotherly bond.
01:01:58.800So that's so fucking hard with someone where it's like,0.62
