Second Date Update PODCAST: Ice Cream Is For Winners

[@Human36262]

I was listening to this segment while eating ice cream and it dawned on me so I had to ask myself. Do I really deserve this 😕

[@Rio-gt3eg]

Hey man I know this was years ago but you ALWAYS deserve ice cream!

[@edsonsoares9684]

@@Rio-gt3eg Everyone deserve ice cream

[@mckenziemoody2354]

U don’t need to deserve it to enjoy it❤

[@caroletaylor894]

I don't know on this one, I can go either way. I think it is okay to tell your kids no ice cream but not because he did not win. Nowadays everyone gets a medal for participating of which I do not agree. However he seemed like a douche for talking about her parenting skills, I know she did it first but it was his delivery. Not a nice dude.

[@alexc5243]

While I do think that saying “Ice cream is for winners” is a little harsh to a 6 year old, I do understand the philosophy. The “everybody gets a trophy” philosophy will instill the idea that the child doesn’t need to work towards becoming better, whether it be in basketball, academics or anything else because he’ll have the idea in his mind that he’ll reap the rewards whether he works hard at it or not. It would be healthier to establish beforehand that he can have ice cream if he wins rather then tell him “Ice cream is for winners” afterwards

[@evertvdb000]

yet the guy didn't get a second date, so he is a loser

[@heysoulsister6247]

It’s not about winning, it’s about trying your best

[@chetramos7901]

Says the biggest loser on the internet. KIDDING!

[@youknwthetruth]

I don’t entirely disagree with the dude in his philosophy but the way he started acting, and talking to her killed any support I would’ve had. Like dude you don’t have to be such an a-hole and start talking down to the girl you were literally begging for another date. Like just get bent and suck it up

[@Chuckz-ik8lv]

I agree with his theory but he's a little hot headed.

[@matthewworthington6100]

“I am not good enough unless I am a winner” father is angry perhaps because he is running on the same negative belief

[@natalielyons5951]

When I was in Basketball in the finale gave the winner got a pizza party and we didn’t get that but for cooking in 2nd and our last game our coach took us out for ice cream lol

[@Gpeters1972]

Our team got stuff from the school for wins and nothing for losing. It's pretty standard. I think it put me where i am in life. If I wasn't raised this way, there's no way I'd be in my position

[@TheBoyOfAllPickles]

What a horrible man. Good on Rebecca for detecting that red flag so quickly. Sometimes the smallest thing can say much more about someone's character. Hope she has found someone wonderful to be her kid's dad.

[@rellyrell3991]

Ice cream is for winners. No PARTICIPATION AWARDS

[@TonyTowey]

Exactly! lol. Run

[@Blackn1f3Gaming]

My Olds were my tball and hokey coaches ice creams for winners

[@Blackn1f3Gaming]

It's more saying y should u get this treat

[@davidndichu398]

Guy was right. May seem harsh but the results of kids with parents like Robert speak for themselves.

[@evertvdb000]

yet he is a loser will he withhold ice cream for himself? ofc not

[@chetramos7901]

Precisely. He’s a DB. Now maybe before the game there was the talk about ice cream if your team wins. But, I mean, according to this guy, he’s less of a loser than [name your very favorite athlete here]. The philosophy holds zero water.

[@jamespayne5660]

I wouldn't miss any of my kids games for any date

[@leoreid0330]

One on one sports ok. But if team sucks and my kid hustles ice cream for him.

[@Blue05534]

I must say I've won a lot of trophies in my life and I only remember the ones I actually participated in and won. The others were just cause I was there but they just dont hit the same, they're just collecting dust on my shelf.

[@ItsjustMerrick]

She’s going to raise kids who want everything for no work…

[@surendrashakya4182]

Dad was acting like a dad and she was acting like a mother. That’s normal. I did the same thing to my son. Now he is a best player in his school team and club team basketball. My wife does just opposite. Whenever my son does not get things from me, he gets from my wife. I pretend like I don’t know.

[@mckenziemoody2354]

I feel like he could’ve gotten ice cream to cheer him up but also Brooke is pretty accurate w the if u win u get ice cream if u don’t we go home like that’s usually how u celebrate

[@HulkHomer69]

That's what's wrong with this country... everyone gets a trophy.... and we wonder why the generations get more and more entitled. This dad is doing it right.

[@alexc5243]

I agree, but he was kind of an asshole at the end. Could have explained his philosophy a lot better.

[@TheKrustyKristy]

It's parents like Robert who causes their kids to be trans when they're older.

[@chetramos7901]

Not how it works

[@evertvdb000]

yet Federer's parents never withheld ice cream when he lost a game what did they do wrong?

[@BourbonDrinker]

Damn, the son is 6 years old. Discipline is good, but temper discipline with the child's age.

[@lucascarter4759]

Y'all the kid was 6, it would be more understandable if he was in his teens!

[@GiveMeTheCrown]

I agree with his ideology, and honestly he probably wasn’t hard on his kid like the woman said. Most men are non emotional and usually say things with no emotions so to him he didn’t see it as a big deal because of how he said it. The woman keep in mind she doesn’t know his kid, she doesn’t know how he acts, what he can do, and not well enough to be able to pickup on the child’s emotions as well as the acting parent. So I feel it’s a bit biased to hate this guy, just because he got offended at what the woman said. She was attacking his parent style and called him a jerk, she literally insulted him and was definitely implying his parenting style is trash. Did no one remember that? No instead everyone is focusing on the guy insulting her back. He was treated as the bad guy the moment the woman said he was a jerk to his child. So the guy being pissed is correct in this situation.

[@mitchpol1432]

He s only creating another kid who’s gonna grow up to hate him and leave him in a nursing home

[@cjw9257]

No soup for you

[@TropicalGirl114]

I can see why he’s single. Hopefully he stays alone too, no one wants that.

[@blakeallen8266]

Just give the kid some damn ice cream

[@Bervatoc]

You do whatever you have to do to motivate someone to become their best selves: women are usually all about "live, laugh, love" and men are usually all about "you are scum if you dont keep trying and level up", even as kids... So, this single mom opinionating on how to raise a young boy is just ridiculous, she doesnt even know the kid, how would she know about how to effectively motivate him

[@talabk7938]

That kid gonna have serious daddy issues

[@karen7573]

Parents, generally fathers, think their children will become professional sports players when they grow up, lol. How about emphasizing excellence in education instead? btw who bought all these participation trophies for these kids? Their parents...blame the parents, not the kids.

[@taeclys761]

No Robert, in 20-30 years you will wonder why your kid is not visiting you. What an absolute piece of work this dude. Rebecca dodged a big bullet by going to that basketball game and have a slice of life rather than the curated version of this AH.

[@mexicanpango]

Nah,Robert is right,if the kid gets everything for accomplishing nothing then the kid will get a rude wake up call

[@georgecamp5811]

Robert going .to regret being that tough on his boy I believe

[@JZOKU]

A lot of folks say a single dad will be perfect for a single mother and vice versa. This is one reason why it's not perfect. I feel a single parent is better off dating someone without kids.

[@TheBoyOfAllPickles]

pretty broad strokes here buddy.....

[@JZOKU]

@ to each their own buddy

[@charapaan4234]

If my dad was like this guy I would have definitely been in a better place right now and didn't have half of misery i had troughout my teenage years ngl

[@temptation4051]

Of course Brooke would think like that.

[@xwhataninjax8497]

Reward for hard work. No reward for 50% effort. Otherwise more and more people will grow up spoiled rotten and lazy. Makes sense to me.

[@TheKrustyKristy]

It's fathers like that who cause their kids to go to therapy.

[@mariaurosa488]

He is a jerk, it's a 6 year old baby. How about ice cream either way, but a nicer ice cream for winning?

[@rogerweaver7686]

Her kid will grow up not knowing why they don't get everything just for showing up.

[@iamawesome219]

Ehhh I’m not about the whole participation ribbon thing

[@Thatoneguyy23]

I agree with the dad. If more people raised their children like that, there would be less entitled snowflakes in todays society.

[@chetramos7901]

*fewer But you’re wrong. Calling your kid ia loser s now beneficial? Since when?

[@fabiang334]

I mean i get his point, but he has to tone it down a little lol, he's like a rabid dog

[@joshuadarichuk7334]

Yikes

[@AAA-ng3qk]

I agree with the dad.

[@evertvdb000]

by begging a radio station for a second date?

[@charliekline3975]

Typical two different types of parents the lady everyone gets a trophy and the guy. The only one gets a trophy is the winner.

[@whocareswhatyouthink4842]

Well he went from 0 to douche bag in .2 seconds.
