=== Cushion Dating 101 (02:40) ===

[00:00:00]  I was just reading about that.
[00:00:02]  In fact, it's called cushion dating.
[00:00:05]  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.
[00:00:16]  Wow.
[00:00:17]  Yeah.
[00:00:19]  Cushion dating.
[00:00:20]  Have you heard of that?
[00:00:21]  Yeah.
[00:00:22]  I guess it's like...
[00:00:26]  Your emergency school or your second-choice school when you're applying for colleges, right?
[00:00:31]  Right.
[00:00:31]  You have that in dating.
[00:00:33]  Like, I'm applying to Stanford, but I got CSUN in case things go wrong.
[00:00:37]  Right.
[00:00:37]  But in this case, it's more than that.
[00:00:41]  You're taking courses at CSUN in case you flunk out of Stanford.
[00:00:46]  Really?
[00:00:46]  Yeah, so it's more than just, I've applied.
[00:00:50]  I never went to college.
[00:00:52]  I never applied for college.
[00:00:53]  You know, that's one of the things I believe you should be thankful for.
[00:00:59]  Well, you learn a lot on a construction site.
[00:01:04]  You really learn everything you need to know on a construction site.
[00:01:07]  It's all there.
[00:01:09]  And when you go through that and you see how that works physically, it's helpful.
[00:01:15]  It gives you a sort of clarity.
[00:01:18]  Let me ask you a question.
[00:01:19]  I just want to say to the public, he has two really wonderful children.
[00:01:26]  They are kind, mature, well-mannered.
[00:01:31]  They're really wonderful kids.
[00:01:34]  Are they being affected?
[00:01:36]  Forget the COVID lockdown.
[00:01:38]  Are they being affected by the rioting and the turbulence?
[00:01:42]  Well, they're being affected.
[00:01:45]  They're not being affected by what's going on in the streets, but they're definitely being affected by the political climate.
[00:01:54]  They graduated the eighth grade.
[00:01:57]  They have to put their statement, you know, a song lyric or a cliche or string some words together under their picture.
[00:02:05]  My son is a little bit of a rebel, and he said, he announced at the table he was going to put...
[00:02:12]  Make America Great Again under his picture.
[00:02:14]  My daughter said, no, you're not because you won't be able to show up at school on the ninth grade.
[00:02:21]  I don't want to be chased around with a stick for my entire high school career.
[00:02:28]  Think about that.
[00:02:30]  You're doing such a good job.
[00:02:33]  Folks, he's terrific.
[00:02:35]  Watch us in no safe spaces and get his book.
[00:02:38]  I'm your emotional support animal.
