Well, many thanks.

Good, sir.

Here is my discover card.

They accept a discover at Renaissance fairs?

Yeah, they do here.

Discoverers accepted at the places I love to shop.

Get it with the times.

With the times.

You're playing the loot.

Yeah, and it sounds pretty good, right?

Discoverers accepted at 99% of places that take credit cards nationwide.

Based on the February 2025 Nielsen report.

I'm Brian.

I work at United Health Care.

So Brian, why do you care?

I care because I don't want to leave anybody behinds.

I oversee one of the biggest resource center in United Health Care.

I see people walked in in my office every day, just like my parents.

They have no idea about the health care.

I feel like they are my uncles, aunties.

I treat it as people of my family.

I'm Brian, and I'm committed to care.

Oh, boy.

Wait, you have to do that or I have to do that.

You have to do that to me.

Curtsy.

You have to curtsy.

Okay, I'm not going to.

Wait a minute.

I'm not going to curtsy.

Wow.

How about this?

We're not worthy.

I'm not worthy.

Oh, yeah.

That's pretty good.

Yeah.

Um, you have brought your daughter along.

Does another guest advisor today?

Generation three sitting in the sitting in the production office.

Morning, Katie.

Oh, that's the story.

So San Francisco Bay coffee started.

By my dad.

By your dad.

You took over.

Yeah.

And now generation three literally just finished their five of them.

They just finished their first year.

And Kate, you know, I take them everywhere I go just so they can be exposed to different

stuff.

And I said, Katie, guess what?

We're doing tomorrow.

You're coming with me.

That's great.

Yeah.

Were you excited?

Because we've known you are coming in for quite a while, actually.

Yes.

I was very excited.

I love this reading show.

So it's fun to be here since me and my mom always grew up watching this.

Awesome.

Yeah.

So do you feel forced into the family business at all?

No, never.

There was never.

You had plenty of other choices that you could have made.

We would like to say that.

As long as my mom's not looking all this over and.

I was never forced.

Like never.

Well, I think it's great.

I mean, a family run business over several generations and did good from the beginning.

You were part of the compostable pods before that was a thing where people are like, oh,

this will be sexy.

Yeah.

We were socially responsible before it was cool to be socially responsible.

That's cool.

I told you last time we've built, I think, 1700 housing units down in South and Central

America, 62 schools, medical clinics.

We've had doctor visits for the farms, paid for scholarships for kids to go to college

and learn about coffee and stay in the coffee business rather than going to the big cities.

So we did a lot and then COVID hit and we had to pivot.

And now we do our farmer education.

So we teach them to grow more and grow better quality so they can get more money.

Nice.

Yeah.

Super rad.

I know.

It is awesome.

Lisa smooth, everybody.

Thank you.

All right.

Listen, Lisa.

You were great last time.

You had solid advice.

I think that we have a really hard one.

I think it's hard.

Personally experienced.

I've been building this up.

I know.

And then we've got one that is so funny.

I feel like it could be fake.

So we're going to start with the hard one.

Okay.

Yeah.

We'll get you warmed up with it.

Hello morning, show.

In need of bad advice about making my 21 year old stepson move out.

We asked him to move out at the beginning of February and gave him until May 1st.

He just got laid off last week and it took months for him to find this job a year and a half

ago.

Do we remind him he still needs to go by that date?

Do we extend his deadline?

We're planning on buying a home this summer, but we don't want to live with him anymore.

He was paying rent, but he was always late.

I was constantly having to ask.

When we asked him to move out, he told, we told him, save your rent money for a deposit,

stop paying us and we'll give you $1,000 towards your deposit.

They really want him out.

He's also, he's probably a slob.

He is always buying things online and eating out.

He's been budding heads with his dad.

So this is her steps on two.

So it's harder.

I think it's extra hard for her.

He's been budding heads with his dad for months, driving us crazy with breaking small things

in the home, a window, an outlet cover, a towel rack, taking forever to do the simplest

thing like washing dishes or taking out the trash, play a lot of video games.

And we constantly have to tell him to stop yelling, big pot head.

We have two small children under five.

And he's not a good influence.

Things are always tense when he's home.

I don't want to be the evil stepmom, but dad can't talk to him without arguing.

I have a feeling he was just going to wait until the deadline and ask his grandparents

to live with them and take advantage of them.

Thanks for reading.

Hopefully it wasn't too long.

Feel free to shorten it.

Anonymous.

Okay.

I want to make Katie go first, just as I mean like that.

Yeah.

Like what do you do?

What can this person do?

Katie, how old are you?

I'm 27.

Okay.

Do you live at home?

No.

No actually live in the city.

Oh, nice.

How exciting.

My brother just moved out from living at home.

So mom, I guess that's a similar situation.

I'm an issue.

Did you have to kick him out though?

No, no, no, no.

So this guy's a loser.

He did leave Willie.

They all left.

21.

Went to college.

They came back.

They couldn't afford to move to live anywhere else.

They lived at home till they had enough money to move out.

Then they all moved out.

Wow.

Old was the last woman.

23.

23.

He just left.

That's a decent age.

It is.

It's a good age.

21 is still college age.

I'm, you know, I give you crap about letting your son, he's 25, moved back home.

But 21 is still kind of a kid, in my opinion.

Agreed.

However, he's college age and not going to college and not working and playing video games.

That's hard.

It is hard.

It's.

I actually think this is a really hard thing because I think a lot of people, it is impossible

to live around here.

You cannot live without a job.

You can't.

You have to have, and not just a job, a good job.

You have to have a good job or 50 roommates.

Like, seriously, I feel like this is a, this, how do you make the, because I feel like

most people don't just throw their kids out onto the street, you know, I think you

should, I think they should put a stuff out, give them a date, last date, you're not

here.

Stuff's going to be out on the sidewalk.

Boom.

It sounds like they're enabling them.

Yes.

Yes.

It sounds like they're enabling them by not sticking to their deadlines and not, so what's

the real issue?

Do you really want them out?

Are you just, you know, is he creating havoc in the, with the little kids?

So you got to set some boundaries and hold him accountable.

And if he doesn't, you know, then go to elevate it to the next level, you know, if you

don't do this, blah, blah, these are ex, that's what I used to say to my kids all the

time.

I'm very, very neat.

You may not put dishes in the sink.

You put them straight in the dishwasher.

You need to make your bed every morning.

I don't want to see towels on the floor.

I don't want to see any of that stuff.

And if they didn't do it, I'm like, get your butt home and do this.

Now.

Right, Katie?

Yeah.

As real, as smart as that sounds though, I think most parents find themselves going, now

I have another job, which is to hound my kid.

It does become like you had to keep that line up all the time, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Although when you set the line and you set it early, it becomes easier to stick with.

Yeah.

And I do feel like, you know, this kid is just her stepson.

So here's a, you know, their family, their original family breaks up.

He's got the kid that, you know, there's, I think there's a lot of guilt and divorces

where, you know, you're trying to make it easier for the kid to get through it.

And that can sometimes soften them up.

And then now there's this whole new family and this other person and these two new kids.

And, uh, and I'm thinking that they let him slip through the cracks.

They, he was it.

They never held his feet to the fire.

There was never any personal responsibility pressed upon him.

So is as harsh as it is, is there only option to say, you're 21 years old, go, go join,

go join the, join the army.

Yeah.

Or go with your mom.

I was just going to say written down in there is, or he'll just go off to his grandparents

house.

Then he should go do that or go to his mom's.

I don't know where the mom is.

But I do think that if you've got little kids that you're trying to raise, that's a hard

enough job without having a grown up in the house, yelling hot, yelling, breaking things.

Right.

Like that's just a simple, you got to go.

It might be the best thing you ever do for him to get them out.

So go to your grandparents or go to your moms.

This is bad advice if you just dialed in and, and this is about a kid who's lost his job

and living with his dad and his stepmom, yeah, 21 years old and his two young step brothers

or sisters or whatever that half brother sisters.

Right.

That's a recipe for disaster.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Go ahead.

I was just going to wait for your father saying, then they just see how, you know, the little

kids are like, Oh, I don't have to make my bed.

Oh, oh, mom tells me to do this and I don't have to do that.

So it sets them up for failure going forward with a horrible child activity.

He is modeling horrible behavior.

And I will actually say, for me personally, I grew up with kind of a degenerate older brother.

He's eight years older than me.

He was in and out of college.

He was smoking weed in the basement.

He was even doing worse things than that in our house at times.

And for me, it was a great example of what not to do.

It was like this example of if you don't stay within these disciplines, if you don't focus

on school, if you don't get your crap together, you could end up living in your mom's basement

until you're 25 years old and I didn't personally want to do that.

So these kids are like age gap is much bigger.

But for me, I thought it was a great example of a good perspective to have for my life.

Kind of a couple of texts, 925.

You guys sound like such boomers right now.

The concept of moving out and spreading into the world once you hit 18 is such a USA stupid

American concept.

Now, where else in the world is it like this?

Like your kids stay at home and you'll have a nice building caregiver once you're too

old to do it yourself.

No, no, no, if he was a model person, maybe he's not a model person.

You've kind of presented after listening to Bob and my own thoughts on this.

I think you may have presented the right idea, which is the step mom.

So the dad can't deal with it, right?

The dad gets in an argument with them every time they talk.

So the step mom might be able to say to him in an effort to raise up my two children,

your step sister and brother, we can't have you around.

You can't be here presenting, do be weed.

You can't be here playing video games, not what you've got to go.

So I do think there's nothing wrong with him going to his grandmas.

There's nothing wrong with him hitting the bricks and looking for a gig.

And so if you say, all right, go get your job.

You got one month or whatever, however, whatever boundaries you set, I do think use your

kids as an excuse and say you can't be here for that reason.

Right.

You're a bad influence.

You might be able to just take a room and just stay there until whenever you get motivated

or not.

I feel like the only way to motivate somebody is to shake the turn their life upside down,

maybe throw them out.

But if he's just going to wind up over at the grandparents house, like I don't think that

really solves the problem, you know, at least it's not your problem anymore.

I don't know how people hold a line today, though, when it comes to like, can't so they

say, get out.

What if he doesn't like with with my dad, when he said, you're out of here, I knew I had

to go.

Like there was no, he was going to physically remove me if they don't know what's going

to do that today.

No.

But I think that what you can do is wait for him to go outside to pick up his food, lock

the door, get the locks changed, pack up all his stuff, put it on the front.

That's I feel like that's the only way.

Okay.

Come around to what Maddie said so harshly to begin with, but I do feel like this, this

is a kid who needs a kick in the pants, like you, it, it, this ends now.

All right.

Anybody have any final thoughts on that one or you want to move to the next one?

Based on the February 2025 Nilsen report.

Okay, this one has been brilliant.

We're doing bad advice right now.

With our guest advisors, Lisa Smoot from San Francisco Bay Coffee and her daughter, Katie.

Okay.

This one, I'm just going to read it to you.

Okay.

And you guys.

You think it's pony?

I.

I'm just going to read it to you.

Okay.

I'm so excited.

I don't.

Dear Sarah and Danny Maddie and Bob and Lisa and Katie, I'll add that in.

I need your help figuring out whether I'm dating into a charming family tradition or a

cult that thinks food has feelings.

I've been dating my, that food with feelings.

That's your takeaway.

I've been dating my girlfriend for about a year now.

Last weekend, she invited me to my first full family dinner.

I'm talking the whole crew, parents, two sisters and uncle who brought his own wine

opener because he doesn't trust other people's cork work and a grandmother who stared at

me the entire evening like she was silently evaluating my credit score.

Everything was going totally normal.

We made small talk about work.

My girlfriend told a childhood story that made me sound mildly incompetent with power

tools.

Her dad asked what, what I do with computers, which I tried to answer in a way that made

me sound smartish, then dessert time rolls around except it wasn't dessert right before

anyone picks up their fork, everyone at the table, table suddenly held hands.

I thought maybe they were going to say grace or doing a quick family prayer, but the

mom said very calmly, let's go around and say one compliment about the lasagna, not

about dinner, not about the cook, specifically about the lasagna.

Oh boy.

I'm paraphrasing, but these are the kinds of things they said.

Her uncle went first and said it had excellent structural integrity.

Her sister said it had a really thoughtful cheese distribution.

Oh boy.

Her mom said it had confident flavor.

Grandma said it was bold, but respectful.

Everyone's going like they're all nodding now like they're judging the Olympic figure skating

finals of Italian food.

And then it gets to him and they all look over at him and he says, I panicked.

I didn't want to disrespect the lasagna, so I blurted out that it had great emotional

depth.

Everyone nodded again, seriously, like that made perfect sense.

Then dessert continued like nothing weird had happened.

Sarah and Vinnie, I need to know, is this a wholesome family bonding ritual or is this

as weird as I think it is?

My girlfriend was very nonchalant about it, like they're just trying to make them meal

last a little longer.

This is our encamble listening on the app allegedly, it's real, it's two, it's two specific

and weird to be made up.

This is a real one.

Let's vote if it's real or not first and then we can handle it.

AI.

AI.

AI.

AI.

So fake.

Real.

I think it's real.

Real, real.

The listener is telling the truth, but somebody is lying.

Yeah.

I think the family can be playing a prank.

They're pranking.

Six five oh said that right away.

I think the family was messing with him.

They're pranking him.

This is the thing people do.

Yeah.

Or like people would say the Pledge of Allegiance, like if their boyfriend comes over for dinner,

like, is that really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh my god.

What be what this is?

I love this family so much more now.

Think about it.

You're absolutely right.

I didn't think about that.

I don't know.

I can't, I actually can't believe it.

I think that might be so you're saying.

This guy is telling the truth, but it's the, but it's the family that it's a family

job.

And he should lean in.

He should, next time he sees them, he should like bring up something that he wants them

all to compliment.

Like he should, like he's over and doing to them.

Yeah.

Like he needs to lean in.

He needs to get them back.

This is amazing.

This is such a great way to be welcome into a family.

You don't think that after the fact that I'll just go there.

I would just put you on.

Well, here's the other thing that I was thinking the whole time as they, he's described.

There are so many more weird ways that you could be like, the things that happen within

a household can be horrifying.

Yes.

The fact that everyone in the household thinks they're normal, the fact that they talk

to their food is nothing.

Yeah.

That's right.

In a grand scheme of things that could possibly go wrong.

It's a blip.

It doesn't even indicate like that there's deeper problems.

Like, you know, they're trying to be complimentary about the food if that's actually what they

were doing.

My advice to you is next time you go eat, have some pre thought compliments about what

ever it might be so that you're prepared to deliver when it's time to talk about the

meal.

I like the idea of inviting them over and making them do it.

But put some like, you know, you make some weird spice into the thing that you're making.

What's that thing on friends they made where peas were in there?

Oh, the English trifles.

It's a dessert, but it's a piece.

Yeah.

Like do something cookie like that.

Right.

So like, yeah, well, I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on the English trifle.

Oh my God.

I can't.

You know what?

That actually is the only answer that makes sense.

If this is a real letter and this guy really experienced that, I believe that you guys

nailed it.

I think that that's what this is.

So I know.

I think they're just weirdos.

That's fun too.

I mean.

I don't even think it's that weird.

There's weird stuff.

There's heart tragic things that happen.

This is just.

This is nothing.

Six five oh well.

Wouldn't you want structural integrity in lasagna?

You do.

Do we have to make comments about it?

It's the commentary.

I mean, it's, and it's fine to, you know, if you wanted to give someone a compliment

about a meal, I think that's lovely.

I mean, my Italian aunt is fish and like after she makes her nookie, she's like nookie.

What do you think?

What do you think?

So she wants to hear.

So it's possible that this is, they truly do want to hear the compliments about the

lasagna that was prepared, but it's not, I don't think it's that bad.

And if it was a joke, I really believe by now, it is awesome.

But I would think that the girlfriend would have by now said, it was, we got you.

Well, maybe they weren't expecting him to buy it.

The look on his face must have been hilarious.

They're like, let's keep it going.

Let's see if we can get him with the, I love the rest of it.

We got him at night.

Right.

You know, like the, I don't think that the comment about the cork, you know, the opening

of the cork was necessarily part of like the whole show thing.

Like that, you know, that sounds like a funny, weird, charming, eccentric family.

People are serious about their wine.

That is true.

They don't want to need a little bit of work in there.

This is the, I, I feel this a way about it.

If I'm going to have dessert and I'm going to take the empty calories, I want it to be

good.

Yeah.

So if you bring me dessert and I, or there's dessert there and I look at it and I'm

like, I don't like rhubarb pie.

How do you know till you taste it?

I haven't tasted it, but I don't want to waste my dessert.

All right.

One bite.

But what I'm saying is, I'll just taste the ice cream.

Let me just alamode the plate.

Yeah.

Plate alamode.

Yeah.

So the listener needs to write in if he goes back to their house and do it again.

We got to hear.

Right.

We got to hear.

Right.

Because what if this isn't a prank?

And then he pranks them with some horrible.

And they're all like, oh, they know this was the poor, poor spice distribution or whatever.

I almost parfed.

Yeah.

I don't think radio is supposed to be in a dessert.

Here's one from seven or seven.

Literally just saw a video this week where a work meeting included compliments to the boss

to prank a new employee.

Oh, funny.

So this does happen.

I like it.

I hope that is what happened.

I hope so too.

And if it's not, other families should take this into consideration when they bring in

the new, you know, the new partner.

Yeah.

It's good.

I, I actually love this now.

I've been very excited to share it, but kind of like afraid that I got it's a fake.

I love that.

You guys have solved it.

Hey, Bay Area.

Good morning.

Coffee, please.
