Ep. 242: ‘Parents Just Don’t Understand’ w/ Geoff Keith & Ian Gulbransen

Friday, December 7, 2018   On this episode, Ian & Geoff talk about the disturbing HBO documentary 'Beware the Slenderman' which chronicles the story of two Wisconsin 12-year-old girls who attempted to murder their best friend in order to ingratiate themselves with a fictional character they were obsessed with from the Internet. Getting away from the horrific story of these two girls, the guys focus much of their debate on how large a role the parents had to play & chat about parenting in general, how they were raised, bullying, how much fault/blame should go to the parents when a child does something wrong, the blowback that comes when kids are given too many rules & much more.
