Trump and Vance are hella weird

Me

But I’m not gonna tell a kid to shut up about it

On brand.

It’s oddly appropriate that those who are most focused on the supposed inherent moral imperative to have children are so often such awful parents.

He hasn’t got the time to parent his children, he’s got a full time job going on podcasts to berate the rest of us for not having children.

If that little dude is as stoked about Pikachu as my dude was about Ninja Turtles then I feel his frustration. My dude one time spent an entire 5-hour car ride talking about Master Splinter. If I could have left him on the side of the road in New Mexico without his mother killing me, I would have lol.

It doesn’t matter what the topic is. Kids will always fixate on things. Depends on what they were exposed to and interested in, but that’s just kids being kids.

It’s never appropriate to talk to a kid like Vance did, even if we can understand how truly annoying kids fixated on a thing is.

Also, what kind of shitty parent exposes their kids to known pedos?

Sunforged ,

That’s just little boys though, you can kindly redirect. My boy is 9 and he can talk forever about Pokémon, Minecraft or whatever he is fixated on today. Sometimes I just have to tell him I’m done now, sometimes I have to say it a few times but that’s ya know, parenting.

You didn’t drop him on the side of the road, but it was an idea to help you get through it.

peopleproblems ,

It can be annoying, but I listen to my kid ramble about Minecraft for hours, and honestly I remember when I was a kid, I was never that comfortable with my parents. I’d rather sit through it and him really enjoy the time than him not feel comfortable sharing it with me.

Notably, I really didn’t develop this opinion until my wife and I separated. Now I really just enjoy listening to him talk about whatever he wants. I just enjoy time with him.

bradorsomething ,

God I know, the only thing worse than your kid talking to you for hours about what they love is them not.

“No Pikachu”

pokemon is stored in the balls

Let’s make-believe that it was a call-in show and everyone after that point gets on air and nails the Pokemon theme song.

Did he sleep on the couch, or with it?

carl_dungeon ,

Yes

massive_bereavement ,

Dude, you threw your wife and your kids in front of the bus because of Trump?
You're never gonna recover from this, ever.

I bet if his son was talking about this pokemon he wouldn’t have yelled at his kid.

Makes sense. Only JD is allowed to talk Pokemon to Trump

Willy ,

This is a bs story. This was just a recounting of him getting the call for VP. It’s not a direct quote. Just how he felt, and if you’ve had kids, there are plenty of times you want to tell them to shut the hell up like that but don’t say it that way. There are reasons to not like this guy but we can be better than this rage bait bs.

CHOPSTEEQ ,

For real, friends in discord were aghast at this, and I’m thinking “bro I’ve heard you tell your kids to shut the fuck up.”

Fondots ,

I don’t know anything about the full send podcast, if it’s meant to be a serious interview, I think that’s kind of a bad look on him that he’d choose to recount it with a mild profanity like hell. I curse like a sailor on my own time, but in any situation where I’m acting as a representative of my job or acting in any sort of official capacity for any organization I’m a part of, or just trying to make a good, professional impression, my speech is squeaky clean and fit to be aired on PBS kids.

Even if it’s meant to be a more light-hearted and humorous podcast, there’s a fine line to walk for people in the public eye and they need to be mindful of what sort of soundbites they’re making that could be taken out of context. That kind of shows a little lack of forethought about what he’s going to say and how it might be received by his audience, which isn’t exactly a desirable quality in a politician.

N0body ,

”And he is really into Pokemon cards right now, he’s going through a Pokemon phase… I mean he’s really into it, so he is trying to talk to me about Pikachu and I am on the phone with Donald Trump, I’m like ‘son, shut the hell up for 30 seconds about Pikachu,’” Vance told the podcast.

Wow. Maybe Vance should have gotten some stability in his career before he had kids. Maybe figured himself out a little better and grown as a person until he was ready.

Children are a life-altering obligation, after all. Maybe Vance would have been happier if he focused on his career first. Of course, that’s a deeply personal matter, and I would never assume that I know better than someone else what is best for their life.

After reading the title, I thought that his son was talking to Trump about Pokémon.

Turns out, it was Vance talking to Trump on the phone and his kid wanted to talk to his father about Pikachu.
