0:00.0 | Hi America, parents everywhere, this is Greg Fitzsimmons. |
0:27.8 | Hello everyone, it's Allison Rosen, you know, it's a big responsibility that we put on our |
0:34.0 | shoulders every other week and talking to parents about how to correctly parent. And I know the |
0:40.4 | premise of this show, if you're new to it, is that I have grown children. Allison has little |
0:45.6 | ones. I'm trying to teach her how to parent. And quite frankly, she's not buying it. |
0:52.0 | Always, that's how it started. Yeah. But I have to say, and you know, it pains me to give you |
0:57.6 | a compliment so early in the show. But your kids are turning out so well. You've done such a good |

2:16.0 | surprisingly contact. Right. Because that you hit the ball with your head, right? He got two |
2:21.1 | concussions. He shattered his nose. He broke both wrists, jeez, pulled a groin, not his luckily, |
2:29.2 | but he pulled a groin. I've done that in my day. So he heard himself and then you let him go back |
2:37.2 | over and over. Yes. Yes. Was that hard? It was. It was very hard. And I think it was even |
