Raising Children [2014]

HeadGum
About this episode

This week Tim had a baby in the middle of recording our episode so instead of a new episode, we’re throwing it all the way back to 2014 to hear how they both thought a child should be raised.

“This week we're talking about literally one of the easiest things anyone could ever do: raise children. Over the course of the hour we go through a lot of the common mistakes idiots make when trying to raise children, along with our solutions, along with a discussion about a troubled young person named Justin Bieber and the advice of Francis L. Thompson who claims to have raised 12 kids to not only be perfect children, but also excellent hot rod mechanics.”
