Summary

We've talked about parents a lot on this podcast. Our first story involves a father who supports his family by not so legal means. After his disappearance, a secret life is revealed. Emma's colorful description of the family's reaction to their father's whereabouts is classic.  The second story takes a darker turn. After Rose's family splits up she moves in with her father.  Every daughter puts all their trust into their father and every father should protect that trust. His voyeuristic actions not only put her in danger but destroy the family. This is a situation that no child ever wants to find themselves.

all my words and actions have

on the people around me and the people that look up to me.

So it's really important to be a good father, to be a good parent, and to do everything to

1:21.7

raise your child with the proper care and advice, direction.

1:29.3

And the argument of nature versus nurture,

1:33.3

I think nature can win out a lot of the time,

1:36.3

but nurture can destroy.

1:39.3

My first guest finds out a secret about her father

that he can no longer keep. Just a forewarning,

for making it today. It was all the times we were suggesting it was like 2.30 in the morning

2:00.0

for me. I'm like, well, I'm not going to work.

2:02.4

Yeah, I know. Just saying, we live next to a winery, so you may hear some gas guns going off. It's not a shooting. It's trying to keep birds off the grapes.

2:11.0

Oh, okay. So that's what people use guns for over there.
