We’re trauma bonding today, baby! We’ve all been there — sitting in the room watching your friend get whooped by their mom and trying NOT to make eye contact. In this episode, we swap hilarious childhood discipline stories that’ll have you crying laughing (or crying for real, depending on your trauma).
From getting hit with hangers, belts, and tree branches off East Tremont, to catching whoopings at McDonald’s and Macy’s on 34th Street — no place was safe. We talk the difference between Mom discipline (the everyday head coach) vs. Dad discipline (the nuclear option), kneeling on rice, holding textbooks with your arms out, and why this generation could NEVER survive what we went through.
🔔 If you got whooped as a kid, you’re not alone — drop your wildest discipline story in the comments!
