Dennis Prager and Adam Carolla discuss trade work as legitimate education and how political polarization affects Carolla's kids. His son wants to wear a MAGA slogan at school; his daughter fears being targeted for her views.
That I was just reading about that. In fact, it's called cushion dating, so that you might be serious with person X, but you have a cushion of persons Y, Z, A, and B as your emotional support should that not go right. Wow. Yeah, I, uh, cushion dating. Have you heard of that?
Yeah, I guess you— yeah, I guess it's like, uh, your, uh, emergency school or your second choice school when you're applying for colleges, right? Right. You have that in dating. I'm applying to Stanford, but I got CSUN in case things go wrong.
Right. But you're— in this case, it's more than that. You're, you're taking courses at CSUN in case you flunk out of Stanford. Really? Yeah. So it's, it's more than just I've applied. I never went to college. I never applied for college. I— it's, you know, that's one of the things I, I believe you should be thankful for.
Well, I learned— you learn a lot on a construction site. You really learn everything you need to know on a construction site. It's all there. And, uh, and when you go through that and you see how that works physically, it, it's helpful. It, it gives you a sort of clarity.
Let me ask you a question. I just want to say to the public, he has two really wonderful children. They are kind, mature, well-mannered. They're really wonderful kids. Are they being affected, forget the COVID lockdown, are they being affected by the rioting and the turbulence?
Well, they're being affected. They're not being affected by what's going on in the streets, but they're definitely being affected by the political climate. They graduated the 8th grade. They have to put their statement, a song lyric or a cliché or string some words together under their picture. My son is a little bit of a rebel. And he said, he announced at the table, he was gonna put "Make America Great Again" under his picture. My daughter said, "No, you're not because you won't be able to show up." at school on the 9th grade. I don't wanna be chased around with a stick for my entire high school career. Think about that.
You're doing such a good job. Folks, he's terrific. Watch us in No Safe Spaces and get his book. I'm your emotional support animal, Adam Carolla. Even though you're a lefty, we have a lot in common.
