the jurgen experience your kids just cut loose on youtube no no no no no no no no luckily one of my kids all she likes to watch on youtube is like there's a girl named sniper wolf who's very funny and she does like these reaction videos to stuff but it's very g-rated and she loves watching her and you know there's you know but i keep an eye on what they're doing and i don't allow them to just start going crazy yeah because it's just you just you know you never know i mean one day you just stumble upon an isis beheading video yeah and now you have you know your kids [ __ ] waking you up in the middle of like crying and screaming because they can't get this image out of their head it's terrifying it is to be on the other side of it too because when you're young all you want to do is throw off the chains oh yeah and then all of a sudden you're like in the position of putting the chains on yeah you gotta it's like how much freedom do you give them like how much do you talk to them about stuff how much do you let them figure this stuff out on their own you know it's uh it's tricky and it's a weird world because it didn't exist previously like it's not like we're dealing with something that we went through when we were children there was no google when we were children there was no you know live leak you ever go on live leak no [ __ ] i know about it but yeah horrible videos you can watch a lot of car accidents and animal attacks and just wow yeah yeah that's not you know i have been on that yeah i have i have stumbled into that but that was that didn't exist before when i was a kid if you wanted to watch something [ __ ] up you had a plan for it like we wanted to watch faces of death somebody had to get the video some one of our friends had to watch the door you know so like we were in the basement one of the friends had to wash the door make sure the parents didn't come down and then we put it on the vcr and we we were ready like if someone came down you'd pop that [ __ ] tape out and hide it these kids today all they have to do is
just have a phone you know and a lot of times kids are 11 and 12 they have phones and 12 year olds with a phone i mean they're going to start googling people [ __ ] people getting killed they're going to see the most crazy [ __ ] have you seen this your friend's gonna say have you seen that and then you're gonna look on your phone there's there's no way to stop it there's no way to stop it kids have wild [ __ ] workarounds for for like little restrictions my sneaky little [ __ ] kid you know what she did she screen recorded um my wife when my wife went and put in a password for her screen time yeah nice move very nice move she handed her phone over to my wife my wife goes in and puts a password in for her screen time so she can only get an hour's worth of screen time a day and then my wife checks and she's like how [ __ ] you have four hours of screen time like what's going on here so she and then she figured out that the really the little monster yeah did you guys have public access when you were growing up like public access tv i used to oh yeah that's my first exposure to faces of death was after 10 o'clock they could show whatever the [ __ ] they wanted for whatever reason really not blatant porn but porn really i saw that's what the bud die dwyer video of him shooting himself in the face you saw that on tv to the 21 gun salute when i was going to bed and i was when i was like 10 years old what yeah huh no way wow and then this guy ended up i was talking with some of my friends when i was back at home in my reunion this guy was we all knew about him when we were like 12 13 years old had a show painted up like an insane clown posse type character and would have like blood girls vaginas lips all sorts of wild [ __ ] really wild and it was just like the government was putting it on technically because of public access so in public access there's no restrictions like there are so i was asking i don't i did not you guys didn't have that's like what wayne's world was that's my only thing i knew growing up was like wayne's
world on the snl was a public access show but then we actually had public access and that's where wild [ __ ] was happening after 10 o'clock i had a friend of mine who wrote a public access show my friend uh larry ropucci was a stand-up comic in uh i think it was larry's show but he was a stand-up comic in boston we all did a public access show when we were like struggling comedians we all went you did it too yeah i wore a dress i wore a dress and a wig and i was like we had like a like a dating show and this is the wild guy that i would this is from the 90s i think i found it on youtube it's still exciting it's like very david lynch man so it's just so weird to watch also he would that's him on the right and him on tv oh so he really planned this out just some weird [ __ ] wow this is nice he's doing coke these the tampons it's also like again i was a kid when i was seeing this stuff wow so like to me looks like robert smith from the cure man someone found him i don't know i'm sure he's like on facebook or he's probably doing this stuff still let's find him well he's going to find out oh jesus christ oh yeah so he got away with this this was all on yeah but he wasn't even the only one there was a clown called like angsto the clown that was like i'm sure redman knows about this stuff because he was a little bit older than me in the same area that's probably why he he was probably watching the same way this is why it might make sense now wherever he brought up columbus ohio weird there's i mean this and then looking back into some of the stuff that was happening there it kind of makes a little bit of sense but if this isn't wasn't going on everywhere that's sort of like the strange thing i never saw it in boston but i might have been out of the loop it might have might have existed i just wasn't aware of it but i thought the regulations were across the board if you were broadcasting i didn't think that public access was different is it because it's local maybe and then there's like free speech laws that we're getting into i i don't again i was a kid so i have no idea i was just i was excited to see it
i just i haven't it's not it won't be available until spring but um for the last couple years i've been working on a book you know like this is the thing i thought i'd never do i used to be annoyed by people who thought about their kids before i had kids but i have a book that i just finished called uh outdoor kids inside world and it's about you know kids in nature raising kids and yeah man if you'd asked me dude like 10 years ago i'd been like no way i would do something like that but it's just harrowing man it's like scary what is scary having kids oh okay yeah yeah worried about them and just like yeah and like trying to guide their you know guide their experience you know and for me oh yeah i found that um [Music] that that ex you know exposure to nature experiences in nature understanding nature is like winds up being an avenue of approach that i have with them that works for both of us it's like a common language you know yeah but yeah man it's it's it's it's terrifying and the the the feeling of the hypocrisy that you get of things that meant that when you were young things that meant a lot to you and felt very authentic to you like freedom freedom to consume what media you wanted freedom to talk to who you wanted to talk to freedom to go where you wanted to go um the later you're in a position where you're [Music] um denying denying someone something that you really wanted in an honest way when you were young yeah um it's a push and pull man jonathan hate about that you know he talks about the the concept of free-range kids about he lets his children wander it was
jonathan hate right was right the coddling of the american mind um he lets his kids wander around new york city like he lets his kids walk home from new york city and you know he's talking about one time his uh his kid got a little lost and they were really really scared you know it was like they were trying to find them and it's like a terrifying feeling but that ultimately the development that the child receives from being able to navigate the world on their own is very valuable but there's a risk and so you like have to weigh this risk versus reward and the opposite of that is people do helico helicopter parent and we know how that turns out right that's not good when you overly coddle your kid and your your kid is not exposed to any sort of adversity or any sort of danger or any sort of adventure or any sort of independence that it can be stifling and then it takes a long time for the child to develop outside of that parental environment once they become free they're like there's different kinds of kids right there's kids that grow up in bad neighborhoods with very little parental guidance and they're 18 and then there's kids who grow up completely coddled and completely protected and insulated and they're 18 and then they run into each other totally different life experiences yeah and i was the former you know i was the kid that didn't have a lot of guidance when i was a kid and i was kind of a lock key a latchkey kid i'm glad you just used that word yeah that's common word right common phrase well apparently it's not no i grew up with that word yeah i was commenting on how my wife in her early years was a latch key kid and she's like i haven't heard that word in a long time that used to be a word dude like latch key kid yeah you got a key you got a key and yeah you get you came home and no one was home you know when i was 12 years old yeah just i mean it wasn't like five days ago someone was pointing out to me that that word doesn't get used anymore yeah well kids don't i mean it's kind of a different thing you don't really see 12 year old kids walking home with a key and opening up their front door anymore
i mean i think about my children and how young they are and i can't imagine them doing that but i did that and i think that the independence that comes from being a kid who walks home from school by yourself and opens your door by yourself and you know and then my parents didn't come home till you know whatever was they worked till five and then they were home i was out i would go places no one knew where the [ __ ] i was there was no phones there's no cell phones you know i could leave a little post-it note or something like that it's it's been interesting to watch um as a parent the way that you that different parents find what dangerous things they're comfortable with um friends of mine like my friend kelly lives in new york right and she'll talk about and we have similar mindsets um about exposing kids the risk and her kids will take the subway right or whatever home and to me where i where where i live and have not had kids that age in the city like i can't picture what she's getting at you know i mean i go like wow that seems just kind of like crazy yeah how old are you irresponsible uh i'm trying to think about 14 and 9 or 10 somewhere in there um and now they've been at it for a while but either way like things that some people regard things that people from the outside would regard as like hard to picture you know yes sort but at the same time i expose my kids to like danger that i have decided is like an okay danger to court i'll expose them to being you know they can be around grizzly bears they can be unescorted in areas that have a lot of mountain lions and bears we take small boats out in the very big water um we do all kinds of things but it's like things that i've decided are um good risk watch the entire episode for free only on spotify
