| 0:01.3 | So there's a lot of stories in the news recently about people who are not the parents of a child actually disciplining that child in public, you know. |
| 0:08.7 | But I'm questioning whether anyone has ever tried to reprimand the parents of someone else's kid in public. |
| 0:16.4 | You know, because we've had stories about people who, you know, like say Jen is out with her child, you know, you say you have a daughter and you're out in the child and I am irritated |
| 0:24.1 | by your child and you don't know me and I spank your kid. That just happened. Without your permission. Yeah. So those are the stories we're hearing. Did I miss this somehow? What was the story here? Well, there was a woman who, well, the guy at Walmart was the first one we talked about, what, a couple weeks ago, who had slapped a child that was not his. And then there's a woman in the news today that did the same thing with, I think, a two-year-old that was not her. But my question is not about that. It's about the opposite. If you were more irritated by the parents of that child that is not |
| 0:54.6 | yours, you know, like a stranger, and you want to do something about it. Because, you know, Katie and I |
| 0:59.6 | recently were on vacation, and part of our vacation was at Disney World. Thus, I'm gimping around in my crutches. |
| 1:05.5 | But before I fell, there, we were in line to catch a boat to Epcot okay so if you've ever been to Disney |
| 1:13.4 | world the boat the boat lines there's one where you can go to Epcot and there's one where |
| 1:18.2 | you can go to Hollywood Studios okay so and there are two distinct lines to the boat dock okay |
| 1:23.5 | so we were actually in the boat line for Hollywood Studios rather than Epcot and and so we're standing there and a couple with their child get behind us in line. So we're just standing there and just waiting on the boat. And if you've been a busy world, it's, you know, anywhere from 10, you know, up to maybe 10 minute wait. So we're just standing there looking at the lake and looking at the water and talking. And we just happened to hear the parents behind us. And so apparently they got in the wrong line. |
| 1:45.7 | We were the only four people in the line because Disney World was really not that crowded because school's back in session. |
| 1:51.1 | So, I mean, they had their young toddler that was with them. |
| 1:55.3 | And so then she started getting angry at her husband, who I assumes her husband, because they were in the wrong line. |
| 2:00.7 | Now, it really was only 20 feet to go into the back line to get into the Epcot line and stand in the boat line. |
| 2:07.0 | She proceeded to raise her voice to him. |
| 2:10.1 | Then she proceeded to call him an idiot. |
| 2:12.0 | Then she proceeded to call him stupid. |
| 2:14.0 | And she said, how could you make so stupid? |
| 2:16.5 | And their child is standing there witnessing the whole thing. Oh, full. And she said, how can you be so stupid? And their child is standing there witnessing the whole thing. Awful. So I believe that, and I couldn't, I mean, Katie and I just looked at each other like with these, you know, big eyes like, what do we do? Because we were trying to pretend like we're not listening, but they are literally right beside us. So then, you know, I think the daughter started actually kind of clinging to her father because, I mean, he was getting berated by this woman. Wow. I hate what couples to do that. Were they moving? Like that's such a disrespectful. No, she almost said, you know, we're just going to stand right here. We're just going to go to Hollywood suit. That is fine. That is fine because you're such an idiot that you couldn't get in the right lane. But that's fine. We'll just stand right here. How could anybody be so stupid? |
| 2:54.7 | I mean, I mean, that is fine. That is fine because you're such an idiot that you couldn't get in the right lane. But that's fine. We'll just stand right here. How could anybody be, how could anybody be so stupid? |
| 2:54.5 | I mean, I mean, it was that toxic tone. Whoa. And it kept going. And we were, we were, we were begging for the boat to come. But then we thought, you know, a couple, yeah, you fight, it's your own thing, who knows what's going on. |
