Weed story: 14:32. What's the best way to punish a child? Therapist Kelli (http://www.kellimiller.com/) and Dreadmere (https://www.youtube.com/user/Dreadmere) are back this week to debate a timeless problem: how do you handle a dipshit kid who won't fall in line? Do smacks count as child abuse? Maybe a prescient genius who hosts this show has the best solution. Plus, I tried weed for my first time. I tell the full story on how that happened around the 14 minute mark. Great episode, stay 'til the end for all the voicemail as well. Number below.

Ron Babcock's (http://twitter.com/ronbabcock) tells a harrowing tale of his bloody fights with his brother. Maybe Ron's "threat of a belt" is enough? Not if your kid is kinky. Junior Journalist Taylor Nikolai (https://www.instagram.com/taylornikolai/) brings the news, and we learn that he's never been punished before because he was always a good kid. BARF. Mikey Bolts (https://www.youtube.com/user/michaelbalalis) brings some wisdom you can bank on this episode.

We round out the episode with a story of a doctor who provides his own sperm to a couple looking for a donor. Now they're pissed even though the doctor delivered what they wanted: a tall man with brown hair and blue eyes. Sounds like me, minus the blue eyes.

The voicemail number is: 1-562-58-I-RULE (1-562-584-7853).
