When Bert put it like that about society killing the little girl 😭. Never heard it put that way. My mind went back to the exact day for myself and our girls. There’s a lot to unpack in that statement.
I'm a single father to 2 daughters under 10 and I swear, I relate to a lot of the inadequate feelings that Bert has about being a parent and watching them grow and get older. Listening to this was amazing. LOVED this one. This conversation touched my ❤️
As a dad that worked a contract route from 10pm - 3am, I was the house husband taking care of everything till my wife and best friend got home at 6pm. I had the same conversations about cloths or style for school, I was always brutally honest and let them get mad at me instead of getting to school and being laughed at, that can be brutal for a child and can scar them especially in middle school where kids can be disturbingly hateful. I dreaded those years for that reason, but they made it through without being scared for life which is a success. That topic hit home for me. Thanks so much. Hello from Chattanooga Tn.
Have Bert check with his doc about taking L-Theanine (amino acid from green tea) for his anxiety. It has been life changing for managing generalized anxiety and catastrophic thoughts. Little to no side effects. Love your show and both of you for being you.
Bert those feelings are normal. You have to trust that you and LeAnn done a good job and that you've set your daughters up to face things in a healthy way. They'll be fine 🙂
You can tell how quick Leeann is with her hyperbolic joke right off the jump, this is my new favorite podcast and it makes for a very entertaining listen :)
I listen to all of your episodes but this may be my favorite. Thank you for being raw and vulnerable with what’s going on right now and sharing this part of your life. Think it was as much a look into the changing dynamics in marriage, which is so needed out here. Sending love to your family!
WOW! An amazing Podcast. I exclusively listen to comedian podcasts and I have to say this was one of the most refreshing down to earth things I’ve listened to in a long time. LeAnne clearly is the PERFECT match for Bert and it is clear that their success is only possible because of their combined team. Amazing work!
I'm going through this change with me 12 year old daughter. I had her when I was 20. Ive Dedicated my life to my career and my daughter. Being young and scared of the future I've never been afraid of making the hard decisions or the tough actions to make her life better. Nothing prepares you for their Maturity/puberty time in life where you feel like they don't need you or that you're not fun anymore.
Omg …this podcast is so funny and insightful Lee Ann…😊 My husband and I have seen you Bert live a couple times and hopefully again very soon. 😊 I totally am so amazed and totally respect that you have opened up about your life when you’re offstage ❤ God Bless 🙏
Great episode. I hung around the guys that studied a lot and partied on the weekend. (Frat boys not so much). Safety in numbers and always have an exit plan. Get that chronic cough checked out Leeann. We love you 🥰
Right towards the end when Georgia calls mom and Bert stops everything and says “answer it, she’s in the car.” That’s not just being a good enough dad, but being a good dad.
She is a catch. This was great podcast. I can relate to almost all of it with my husband and kids. Same fears, so it was so good to hear advice on that. It would be great to get more parenting tips. Lol. Although my kids are older than theirs. 😅
Leann can take anything that people are having a problem with and give the best advice she could be a therapist anytime she wanted to she has so much insight into things and the problems people are having a problem with ....... love from hamilton ontario canada
How can you not love these two? They practice the art of life and they make it a good one, going for the gusto, living full. Goodness and cheer surrounds them.
Bert likes alcohol, I like alcohol, are we alcoholics? Sparkling water will not do, we like the feeling of alcohol in our system. It’s probably in our genes. People who don’t have a reaction to alcohol can not understand. No disrespect I love this podcast!
WOOOO WOOO I AM ENOUGH !! I absolutely love the message in this podcast. You can’t tell yourself (or anyone else) that too much. I wonder if the people sexually assaulting people were told that if they would stop???
This is your wife Bert??My condolences MAM...Im sure you tryied your best!Dont BE too harsh on yourself...we all fook up once in awhile!! Anyway..it is what is!! How can you even even.???anyway...he is a great guy....😭🤣
I swear in this episode LeeAnn said “I DID need you, but you weren’t there, so I learned how not to.” I meant to bookmark the clip bc this is the same song I’ve been singing and it felt amazing to hear someone else say it, but I had to sign into a meeting and now I can’t find it! I think I’m on my third round of listening to this podcast to try to find it. Anyone else catch LeeAnn saying that? Would love help with a time stamp!
Found it! Thanks to this video having a transcript 😊🙏. 31:22: “I do need you. It’s just, I can’t have you, so I figured out ways to work around it.” I feel you girl. I feel you. 🫶
Also, a detective I’ve talked to about this says the men have a completely different perspective about it. They don’t think they’re raping a person (apparently). And women often say that they lay there in shock it’s happening- these assaults aren’t violent in terms of what ppl think rape looks like. According to this detective- women don’t say “no” or “stop” and try to use “body language” which men don’t view as a “no.” This according to the detective….🥺
Quite often people freeze in fear when they are being assaulted, that's not talked about enough. But Leanne has said she said no and tried to struggle in her experience and the guy didn't stop.
Agreed! The shock- the freeze element of the fight-flight-freeze. I’ve heard LeeAnn talk about her experience on the pod-I’m sharing what the detective told me who investigates these crimes. I was horrified that she(detective) described it almost like a difference in perspective as opposed to one person (or more) using power & control over another to violate them. Detective shared what victims have told her & what perpetrators have told her in the majority- date-rape situations that she’s investigated.
@@renmo6061 I think that possibly perpetrators might not be honest about what actually happened though. I'm sure they do recognise body language or feel the person struggling and know what they're doing is wrong but just ignore it. I expect a lot of women did say no also but the perpetrator will claim that they didn't.
Bert you need to talk more on how society treats women. Do you know how many men, that I have tried to explain this issue too, would hear you talk about it and be like ‘ damn there’s some truth in that’
I am enjoying catching up on these podcasts..I wish Bert had paused his stories a little, to let us learn a bit more on Leeanns experiences..Real talk vs the entertainer is nice.❤
This is my life right now and I fully understand how burt tortured himself over what if? My son wanted cowboy boots and he wore them and was called racist which broke my heart but he woke up the next day and put them on again and said he isn't going to let people change what he likes.
That's a great word on raising children. I have son's. I don't know if it's better to have son's. I don't what it's like to raise abdaughters. I would probably feel like bert if i was. It's very hard to let any of them go out fly and grow up, but we have to. All when can do is raise them right and be there for them when they need us. But let them come to you when they want to and feel comfortable to talk to you about whatever it is that is bothering them.
Leanne are you familiar with Dr Russell Barkley? I saw a clip on IG that really broke down ADHD in a simple and new way for me- I'll totally butcher it but all this talk about "I want a drink but I don't want a drink but I want a drink but ..." reminded me of it. If you haven't heard of him it's worth looking up. Hadn't heard of add described in this way before which was basically instead of attention deficit he says it should be "intention deficit" disorder. Anyways, still working on the episode, great so far!!
Ok but the relationship between boys & their moms does shift as well. You’re talking about girls & their Dads but it is similar the other way too. My 17 yr old refused to kiss me on the cheek today. And I’m very close with my boys but it’s the natural progression of growing up.
honestly berts fears are valid but also probably coated in his own college experience and mentality. he's afraid someone like him will treat his daughter the way he treated people.
If only every Bert had a Leanne.... 🙂 But Bert is finding his path! This Cowboy doesn't need a woman, but "sometimes it's the appropriate way to have a good time".... 🤠👍❤️
