So overly so. Like, they get they they both can't poop. Well, if they don't drink enough water throughout the day, and nobody could prove well, they don't drink enough water throughout the day. It's pretty simple. Yeah. And then I go, Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. Just to like kickstart it back again. I go, I'll give you $1 Which they like shit their pants for $1 will shit their pants. Right? But like $1 $1 is a lot to six and a five year old.
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
6:39
No, no. I guess I just wonder I got setting a bad precedent. If they tricked them. It's literally like giving them $1 for breathing.
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
6:48
I'll give them $1 a day if they drink their whole water bottle. Now it's an honor system. Now look, I just said to kick started. I go just to get a bag. Oh, this is just for today. But you guys need to drink your water. You're supposed to do it. And then I go I'll give you $1 If you drink it.
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
7:06
So like are they going like weeks without pooping?
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...

LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
9:03
don't linger. I go with a mission and Publix. So that is something I've taught the kids but back to incentives penalty. So I go, okay, they didn't do it. And I'm like, How do I get them to do the thing I want them to do? You know, that's how my brain will like if you don't where you get that? It's almost that noise when something doesn't work on your computer? Yeah, in your head. Yeah. And so I am like, Okay, I'll get you an app. I'll get you in a game app, whatever. on your iPad. I got my iPads for Christmas. Three months late. backordered is what I said. And, and so what's it called? I'll go I'll get you a game. A game and $1 Okay, it's more than fair. They go and I go, do you agree? I go, we have to handshake and I've taught them. I want them to be like a Texan with a handshake. Right, you have to look me in the eye and hold your belt buckle in, but I make them do it to other people I go, if you shake someone's hand trip, I want you to look him in the eye. And he's like, Uh huh.
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
10:12
My dad, I feel like that one gets $1 That one. I feel like that dollar is better spent on that

Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
10:18
well, redistribution, doing some redistribution of the budget. Okay, so like, I agree, that one's that one's more important. The water should be kind of innate. Yeah,
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
10:29
I feel like that one. They'll just get it on their own. They'll finally be like, I do want some water because I'm thirsty.
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
10:34
Well, they haven't gotten the correlation between them getting constipated and dehydration. Would you have
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
10:43
to tell them? They're not going to scientifically go into the lab and figure it out themselves?
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
10:47
I figured that was implied. Like I know. They're Asian. I know the capacity with a lot of rice. No, they a lot of kimchi too far. It's my kids. Golf.
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
10:59
I'm offended.
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
11:00
I make half Korean kid jokes all the time I go but always in their favor. Like saying my black friend has a big dick. Kind of. It's a good stereo. I
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
11:10
like men like you tell half the jokes and don't throw a punch line.
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
11:14
I'd be like they both finished a Rubik's cube at age five. That's not for my white trash. But side. No,
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
11:20
I've never done that.
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
11:22
I can't do it. If you said they do it. Both of them have done it at age five. She did. Their mom was in Mensa like they're not
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
11:29
that No, no, just No, I feel stupid.
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
11:32
And like, I taught trip chess. What another thing I was trying to do is I go I now trip I want you to teach because this is get back to you teaching. I think it's valuable to teach others because you learn more. Right? Sure, sure. Right. I used to teach. I've taught like I've been a guest teacher just or whatever, a lot of times, and it's like, it sharpens your game really is what it does, right. So it's like, you have to be able to communicate it in a slower way than the short time mastery of it. And so I go trip if you teach men how to play chess, because she wants to learn, I will give you both $20. If she learns, and you you're able to teach her without fighting.
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
12:16
Okay, what is learning? I mean, I want to know
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
12:20
how to play chess, you have to beat us just to be able to play like not just go like I forgot stuff. Like, we made some ground rules. Okay, the lawyer grew up in a family lawyer unit, here's the five conditions you need to achieve. I go, she just needs to be able to play without, you know, without going I don't overwhelmed. And without like knowing like, oh, a night can't move in an L shape.
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
12:46
I wonder how often they think about that contract?
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
12:49
They don't. Because I know I'm kind of soft it when it really breaks down and then I'll blow up every now and again. But I think that's good to healthy way to do it. Well, I don't you know, you get them half the time you get them half, you get yours half the time. And it's like, do I want to it's really a reflection on the parent because it's like, I'm not super consistent discipline on my own stuff. And so that's why that's probably why I'm not on top of Sony. But if you really want to get shrooms in the woods, break it down. Therapist style.
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
13:23
I mean, yeah, but you know, they're at an age certain age, you know, but I'm pretty good. They'll be fine. And a few years like you won't have anything where kids are not going to be problems. Yeah, I know. I know. Right now, like totally. On top of it. They'll do their work. Oh my god in trouble. We find
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
13:41
my biggest belief is like most of being a good dad is just literally being in the same room. Oh, yeah. Like, you know, like, it's
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
13:51
gonna talk about what teaching will teach you. Well,
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
13:54
I hate deadbeat dads. I think it's the worst thing in this country that it's not talked about nearly enough. I've heard more shit about trans bathrooms, right? By times 1000 than I hear about dad's running away from responsibility, right. And I get the other side of it. I've had 15 years of watching stand up comedians on stage, talking about dad wasn't there that was never around, or dad was around and had secret family. Dad was around then bounced. Dad was around that divorced dad. I only got to see him on the weekends. And sometimes he'd bail on that dad was around but didn't pick me up ever when he was supposed to. Like all the gamut of all that. I call my dad

Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
14:48
my dad went to as many like games as he could. He couldn't do it all the time because he had to be in an office but it was like, you know, he did as much as he could as at the he wasn't this age. His dad were We have to do. I feel like a lot of dads our age, a lot of our friends. And I don't know if this is throughout the United States, but I get the vibe it is. We're kind of coming over more of the female side a little bit more on the parenting. If you're there, right if you're pressed if you're physically a dad, right and in the home,
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
15:19
but we're also expected to continue doing all the same shit we do before. Don't stop doing that. You know?
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
15:26
Are we male? A Male? Male? What is it called? Male rights guys. That's right. That's right. Those guys want about man. I was thinking about female. The male feminists guys, those are my least favorite. Yeah. I'd rather I'd rather hang out with the deadbeat dad than those guys. Because that's slow play. They're they're friends that are women that they want to bang, right? But they can't ask them out. So they just they patiently sit in the weeds. Right? Sabotage any other man coming through their heterosexual gay friend kind of thing. Yeah, that's that kind of vibe. They're a fruit fly, but they're not fruity, technically. And then they're

Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
16:08
they'll go, they'll send you would rather hang out with them than

Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
16:17
gonna say they like to party. You know, they're gonna be at least honest with you. You think?
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
16:21
Then you might fist fight them. Because you'd be like, you're just a piece of shit. Right?
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
16:24
By the end of the night. You hate the guy because you realize what he's doing. The male

Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
16:27
feminist you can't fight because it's just gonna be a Slappy slap thing. Right. You know, it'll be like, I'm calling the police. Yeah, it'll be like you got the Mario Star Power. You know, like, does you do against the male feminists? Oh, yeah. Because there's such a wave. Right. All right. So I've gotten a tangent out of it. But back to I'll finish this. incentives and penalties thing. And then I want to hear about being coached. Coach, Coach, Mountain Dew code red light at the gourmet. I like Coach red because there's so many bad puns I can make from that. Like I in my head, I visualize a coach's tree of like, here's the assistance

I say you have to love everybody. But you don't have to like everybody. We got to love everybody and
LS
Law Smith, Fractional CMO, ...
19:36
then I even broke it down. You just have to even tolerate them. But right I do. Here's the biggest one if I can undo projection. This is my biggest thing of being a dad in the last year or two. If I can make them not project their own like they need to internalize right and not take it out on other people. Yes, if I can undo that in childhood, that's going to be like, That's my big project. Right? If you can do
ER
Eric Readinger, Fractional ...
20:05
any behavioral change it does that covers a lot. That's a very good base. I don't want them to go.

It's too Bud Light, it comes out, but I had to break I go your I figured it out while she was like, stomping her feet and then turning bright red and just I don't know why I'm, I'm crying. And I'm like, oh, did you read that before? But boy, this is when she was four. And so she eventually said, I gotta go, you gotta love everybody, you know, round you. And I was like, she was like, How can I love anybody if I can't love myself? And I was like, okay, Daddy needs to go in the other. I wouldn't got a record and scratch it.
