This is an I heart podcast.

Guaranteed human. My wife disown my son and I can't believe what you freaking said. You know, disowning your son, I'm going to say something controversial. Yeah. Not cool. Not cool. I don't like it. I don't stand for it. I actually think I'm going to disown every son I have. Really? I think I built character, actually. It does. Have you ever heard of Game of Thrones? No, you haven't. I've fucking heard of it. You have not watched it. I have never seen. Well, in Game of Thrones, John Snow bastard son disowned, he joins the Knights watch and then basically becomes like King of the North. Very successful. Very successful. So I think if you want your, all right, other example, Jeff Bezos, his parents rejected him. Abandoned. Abandoned. Billionaire. Abandoned. Billionaire. So it's not just to disown. That's too light. We have to completely abandon.

Yeah.

See, disowning is,

is child's play. Yeah, exactly. You want to be an adult? You want to make a billionaire? Abandon your children. Throw them in a ravine. Yeah. See if your baby lives. Get biblical on them. It was like the thing where like during Moses times.

I think Moses got thrown in the river.

Them.

Oh, he was in a river.

The Romans or Spartans would that was like in a gorge thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Throw them off of a cliff or something. See if they live. Are they strong?

And they're one of us. By the way, before we get off this topic, I have to say anyone watching right now that has never seen one episode of Game of Thrones, please comment. We are a rare breed. We are a rare species. But I know we will stand strong united. And everyone who's a normal person has watched Game of Thrones. Say King in the North in the comments. Okay. Non-game of Thrones versus Game of Thrones. Yeah. Yeah. Go. Winter is coming. Go. Say North in the comments. Okay. Winter is coming.

Versus Game of Thrones. Yeah. Yeah. Winter is coming. Go. Say it to the college. All right. I male 37 have a 13 year old son. I was a widower when I met my now wife. She has a 16 year old daughter from another relationship. The family is often on pretty good terms. My son is the quiet one in the house. He keeps to himself a lot, but not to the point of being concerning.

My wife and stepdaughter, on the other hand,

I have the complete opposite. A bunch of chatty Kathy's over here. They both encourage him to be

outgoing and share activities and join gatherings with the extended family. Okay. That seems

gets up hard. They're including them. Okay. Seems good so far.

They're including them. Yeah. Right. This is all good. All fair play. My son complained about having to be forced out of his comfort zone and having his need for space being validated. Hmm. Which like, I guess I understand, but it's, it's good to push your comfort zone and, like, socialize. It really depends on the scenario. So I feel I'd say I'd say

but generally pushing your comfort zone. No, I agree. Is like is is is is good for growth. I spoke to

both my wife and stepdaughter and asked them to give him space and freedom to spend his time

however he wanted. They apologized and promised to let him be. All right. Which I think like,

I think it is important maybe to respect his boundaries, but again, it totally depends.

Yeah. What are they pushing him to do? Like, yeah, do lines of Coke in the bathroom. Yeah. Do it,
