Oh, All right, well here we go. We are wrapping up this series, Fact Check. I've got a handful of friends from our staff team tonight that are up here on the stage with me and let me start

by framing up the night with a recent story actually from yesterday in my own life.

I got up work, went home, walked in the door, it's early evening, and my son is right by the door,

and he almost greets me.

And the first question that he asked is, Daddy, do I have to get a spanking?

I have no context for why he's asking me this,

and this is really the first time at this moment type of thing.

He's a four-year-old kid.

In fact, here's a picture of him,

and his sister Monroe and crew.

And he's looking at me and he's asking me that and I look at his mom and I say I don't know does

he have to get a spanking and she says yes we've had a bad day we've not been

listening we've been arguing and I told him

when daddy gets home you're getting his spanking now this was the first time I'd

ever had this experience like I'd been on the receiving end of this scenario many many times where I was the little child or the kid growing up who was told by their mom,

hey when daddy gets home you're gonna get the belt you're gonna get spanking and this is Texas people so we still spank here and I was very

familiar with just that experience I'd never been on the other side of what it was like to be the dad

who was just getting home and what you you know, all the different emotions and thoughts

kind of go through the head of that father.

Because parents say things, if you remember growing up as a kid where they give you spankings,

and they say things where you're like, is that really true?

Is that really how you feel?
