Evidently the kid was a die-hard fan and started crying after the 49ners lost the game. This was the topic this morning in another session of "Group Therapy" on The Mike & Carla Morning Show this morning.
While the Dad was telling the kid to quit crying and it's just a game, Mom thought it showed that the kid cared and there's nothing wrong with crying. In the end, the Mom and Dad got in an argument about the whole thing. And this is where we come in...what advice would you give the couple?
Is This The Way To Tell An 8 Year Old To Stop Crying?
Keep in mind, that the kid sees some of the players crying on the field and on the bench after the tough loss. So, if he sees them shedding a tear, he must think it's okay for him to cry right? Well, not so fast, since the Dad clearly thinks that crying is a sign of weakness and unacceptable no matter how old you are.
On the other hand, Mom being a little more sensitive thought is shows that he truly cares. The kid has a passion for this team and takes it to heart. Now keep in mind that the kid is only 8 years old...how much of a die-hard fan can he be?
Or maybe age shouldn't matter...but listeners did chime in! There were a few that sided with Dad on this, saying his approach might need some work. But the message should have been a bit more caring to explain to the kid the difference between winning and losing.
However, when you see grown men on social media crying, destroying their tv's after a loss...how do you explain that to your kids. We think the bottom line and message was, be a bit more sensitive when the kid is crying. Show a little more compassion then just saying, "stop you're crying!"
Anyway, listen to the segment, maybe you've dealt with the same situation with your kids...and enjoy!
Best Off The Las Vegas Strip Comfort Food For Losers Of Any Big Game
The Super Bowl teams are officially set, and the game is around the corner for Las Vegas.
Sports books are coming up with their odds, and prop bets. The field is getting a mani pedi. And there will be one big winner - and one big loser. And I don't mean Taylor and Travis.
When Your Team Loses You Need Comforting Food
My team was eliminated in the playoffs, sadly. What did I do? I ate and drank - to celebrate my losing team going as far as they did. But where do Las Vegas Locals go for loser comfort food?
Las Vegas is a great place to celebrate, and eat and drink, as a winner. But it's also a great place to celebrate your loss with food, and drink. Being Italian, we celebrate anything or nothing with food, so who am I really kidding here?
With my team out - although usually much earlier than this - I decided to let you losers in on some great places in Las Vegas to celebrate you losing team. Everyone is going to lose at some point, so you might as well enjoy eating, and drowning your sorrows away. Especially in Las Vegas.
There Is All Sorts Of Comfort Food In Las Vegas
There's your standard comfort food. With all that good starch, and fat, to knock you out and make you forget that your team went down in flames. There's healthy food, so you don't feel as guilty chowing down. There are different nationalities of food. Italian, Mexican, Greek, Indian, Thai. There are also different times of the day to indulge your sorrows: breakfast, lunch, dinner - or4th meal late night snack.
I'm hoping this short list is helpful for all the losers out there - or soon to be losers - in Las Vegas. Eventually every team, even yours, is going to lose at some point. So be prepared, with some great off the Las Vegas strip loser food options in the Super Bowl LVIII host city.
Fukuburger
Originally just a food truck. Fukuburger burgers were - and still are - amazing! They are brick and mortar now. They top American burgers with Asian style toppings. And Las Vegas loves it! I love their Chicken Katsu sandwich: Panko crusted chicken with shredded cabbage, their "crack sauce" and katsu sauce. Great for a big loss.
The Bagel Cafe
Located in Summerlin, The Bagel Cafe opened in 1996. Their food is big, fresh, and amazingly good! New Yorkers say their bagels are a taste of home. And call me old fashioned, but their chicken salad, and egg salad are the best - next to my moms. Get either one on one of their bagels, and I promise you won't have to eat for the rest of the day. Stuffed cabbage, roast chicken, knockwurst - their menu will take care of every loser craving - and make you feel like a winner!
Roma Deli II
Roma Deli is what I ate when my team blew it. Yes the Detroit Lions loss led me to the best Margherita pizza, and Penne Aglio Olio. Their portions are huge, so you will almost always leave with leftovers for the next day. I've been eating at Roma for years. It's the closest to the way my Italian family cooked, and the place itself is so authentically 'Italy.' Reminds me of being in a restaurant in Italy - understated, but so much personality! So many favorites, and all from scratch. And a great, unique wine selection. Try the Pasta e Fagioli, and the Pollo Milanese. Or ANYTHING for that matter. You will feel like a winner again!
Hash House A Go Go
Great loser comfort food at Hash House. And very LARGE portions. They call it 'Twisted Farm food.' Breakfast is outrageously good, but make sure you come hungry! Their sage fried chicken is so flavorful, and crispy. And it's paired up with almost everything, and anything. French toast dipped in banana cinnamon cream with candied pecans, grilled bananas, and syrup - YUM! The sage fried chicken and waffles is the popular go to. Order it - and then be prepared to be stuffed full, and basically waddle out of the restaurant. There are several locations. The below location is the original. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Carson Kitchen
Go downtown in Las Vegas, and try the Carson Kitchen - it is a must visit. And don't think about calories, just think about uniquely good food. One of their most popular items - Crispy chicken skins. They are out of this freaking world! Chicken thighs, pork porterhouse, baked mac and cheese, short rib flatbread - it's very original - winning - comfort food. Definitely compliment the chef at Carson Kitchen, because their food is definitely WINNING!
Snooze AM Eatery
New to Las Vegas, Snooze AM Eatery is really cool. Very vintage L.A. feel, and there are healthier options, if you're wanting a healthy breakfast, or lunch. They have a plant powered menu- and then all the other good stuff as well. And they feature a pancake of the week, each week. Or you can try a Signature pancake flight: Pineapple Upside Down, Blueberry Danish and Sweet Potato pancakes. Their French toast is made of fresh brioche, and stuffed with house-made mascarpone, then topped with vanilla crème, caramel, fresh strawberries and toasted coconut. It is something from another planet - so damn good! It will help a lot when you drown you loser sorrows.
Heart Attack Grill
I was told by a loser (Baltimore Ravens) friend, that I HAD to include this place. Yes, the HEART ATTACK GRILL, where they encourage you to gain all the weight you want. The Single Bypass Burger offers up 5 slices of bacon. The Octuple Bypass Burger has 40 slices of bacon - so here's that. If nothing else, the place is entertaining! When you enter they put a hospital gown on you, and if you weight over 350 lbs they feed you for free. Yikes! But - their burger are very good. Get one, and split it. An know going in, there is nothing "light" at this place - AT ALL. Not even a light beer. And there is a sign that reads: Cash only because you may die before check clears. So if you really want to eat your loser roubles away - well...
