Boomer Parenting Horror Stories: Smoking Compliments and Handcuffed Guests
from Tom Segura & Christina P. | The Tim Dillon Show #348 · #348
4 min
Christina and Tim trade stories of boomer parental negligence and callousness, including her father praising her for never smoking a cigarette down to the filter, and a friend's parents' unfazed reaction to police arresting a fugitive from their house.
- Boomers viewed their children as obstacles to their own success, jealous when they failed and often setting them up to lose.
- Once they got technology, they immediately used it to spread hate, division, and fear because they believed that benefited them.
- Tim's father's response when Tim said he was drinking at bars every night: old men at bars have always played a role in family life.
- Smoking cigarettes at 13 in the front seat of his car, Tim's father complimented him for never smoking cigarettes down to the filter.
- That backhanded compliment about cigarettes is the kind of thing kids internalize to develop their sense of self-worth.
- Tim compares his childhood extortion tactic—threatening suicide to get his way—to how trans kids now operate.
- Friend Ryan was dating a stripper on Indiana's Most Wanted, doing identity theft and bad stuff around the state.
- State troopers came to the house, and Ryan immediately told them the girlfriend was in the kitchen; they arrested her in cuffs.
- That same night at dinner, Ryan's Boomer mother was unfazed and immediately started talking about buying a condo in Naples, Florida.
- The Boomer parents were completely crazy and detached from reality even as a criminal was being led out of their house in handcuffs.
