00:00I think that's more the question.

00:02I always looked at parents that had their kids on kid leashes as like psychos.

00:07Yeah, I would see them usually at an amusement park.

00:10Exactly.

00:10And you'd be like, oh, they can't control their kid.

00:13What's wrong with their kid?

00:15That was pre-having kids.

00:16Now I have kids.

00:17I'm a little less judgmental.

00:18You know, this is a good question.

00:20You know, Coop, let's grab some phones on this.

00:23Folks that are listening, is it acceptable to use the kid leash?

00:27Well, Fester's on Google searching for leash.

00:31Kid leash technology has come a long way.

00:34Leash.

00:34You know what?

00:35Just get the invisible fence and put a collar on your kid like the dog.

00:40That's what you ought to do.

00:41Get the invisible fence.

00:42Yay!

00:46So while Fester looks up at Google's kid leash, let's grab some calls.

00:52Folks, what do you think about kid leashes?

00:54And am I wrong?

00:55Why does it seem that kid leashes have kind of disappeared?

00:59I don't see them as much.

01:00All right.

01:00800-990-1047.

01:02Let's grab a couple of calls here.

01:04800-990-1047.

01:07Number one, are you still seeing the kid leashes where the kid is on a leash and, you know,

01:14the parent's like five, six, eight feet behind?

01:17Are you still seeing it?

01:18And do you think it's acceptable?

01:20Can I tell why I'm asking?

01:22Yeah.

01:22Let me give out the number one more time, 800-990-1047.

01:26That's the number to call, 800-990-1047.

01:31So give us a buzz regarding the kid leashes, two questions, acceptable, yes or no, and why

01:37does it seem like they disappeared?

01:39I don't see them anymore.

01:40I used to see them all the time.

01:42And I would scoff.

01:43I'm like, oh my God, look at the phones.

01:45The kid leashes phones are exploding here.

01:48Asking for a friend.

01:50No, I'm just kidding.

01:50My first daughter was great.

01:53Now my second daughter, Daviana, she's a maniac.

01:56And I've taken her, I took her to a pool over the weekend.

01:59She's won and changed and she just gets down and runs everywhere.

02:03Like I'm chasing her towards the pool to keep her from getting in there.

02:06And I'm picturing us, I have her in a stroller when she's at theme parks, but she does love

02:10to run and walk, but I can't, I mean, I can keep up with her, but I'm running the whole

02:14time.

02:14Hey, Fessa, look up Google toddler straight jacket.

02:20Let's grab some, look at the phones on this.

02:23Every line is jammed.

02:25Maggie's in Tampa.

02:26What line is Maggie on?

02:27Is Maggie on six?

02:28Yes.

02:29Maggie, you're on the MJ Morning Show on Q105.

02:31Hi, Maggie.

02:33First off, so glad you're back.

02:34We missed you so much.

02:37Please spread the word that the MJ Morning Show is back.

02:39When did you find out we were back?

02:42I drive my kid to school every morning and I usually listen to Mason Dixon and I noticed

02:48you guys were back in like October, which I was so excited about.

02:51Fantastic.

02:52Thank you very much.

02:53I appreciate it.

02:54All right.

02:54The kid leashes.

02:55What advice do you have for rocks?

02:58Well, I saw a bunch of them at Disney like a month ago and there's even ones now that

03:03are retractable, which is actually pretty comical because it's usually for dogs.

03:07Yeah, really?

03:08You know what?

03:08I wonder, you know, Maggie, I wonder if the fact that my kids are older now, and that's

03:14a very good point you made, that you see these a lot at the amusement parks and since

03:19I haven't been to theme parks in quite some time because the kids are older, that that's

03:24where I would see them.

03:25I haven't been there, so I haven't seen them.

03:27Maybe that's why.

03:28Yeah, and you know, there's a lot of, I have a special needs child, so they tend to kind

03:34of run off without, you know, any, any like, um, trying to think.

03:40They just run off.

03:41Yeah, I understand.

03:42Maggie, so do you have a kid leash?

03:43So, it's good to have those leashes.

03:45All right, so you, do you have one?

03:47Yeah.

03:47All right.

03:48Maggie, thanks for the call and I appreciate you listening.

03:51Thanks, Maggie.

03:51Let's grab Allison in Palm Harbor.

03:53Allison, you're on the MJ Morning Show Kiddie Leash Line.

03:56Hi.

03:57Hi, good morning.

03:59What do you think about kid leashes, yes or no?

04:02Absolutely not.

04:03I think they're embarrassing and despicable.

04:06If you need to kill your child, why would you put it on a leash?

04:09It's not an animal.

04:11Allison, thank you, Allison.

04:13I love Allison.

04:14Getting right to the point.

04:15Right to the point.

04:16Let's grab Danielle in Plant City.

04:19Danielle, MJ Morning Show.

04:20Good morning.

04:21Good morning.

04:22It is a pleasure to be speaking with you.

04:24It is a pleasure to be speaking with you.

04:26Kid leashes, acceptable or not?

04:29I'm with Roxanne.

04:30Before I had kids, I was totally against it.

04:33I thought it was cruel and unusual.

04:35And then I had kids.

04:36And my daughter is a flight risk.

04:38The moment she's seen me, like an exit, she is gone.

04:43I love it.

04:43My daughter's a flight risk.

04:45Like a fugitive.

04:47Like the judge is not granting the kid bond because the kid's a flight risk.

04:53Yes.

04:54I spent 25 minutes looking for her in Walmart and she was hiding in the clothes.

04:59I mean, we had security looking at everything.

05:02And ever since then, I have put her on one.

05:04She's a very beautiful girl.

05:06And with Tampa being so high risk with like the human trafficking and stuff, I'm like, I just can't take the risk.

05:11100%.

05:11Daniel, thanks for the call.

05:13Ashley's in Brandon.

05:14Ashley, kid leashes, yes or no?

05:17Yes.

05:18All right.

05:18Yeah, look at that.

05:19And why do you think kid leashes are okay?

05:22So I have four kids.

05:25Three of them are older, but the youngest is four.

05:28But when she was two and three, we'd go to amusement parks.

05:31And she never wanted to hold my hand.

05:33And I didn't want to just let her run around in a crowd of people.

05:37You can't see them.

05:39All right.

05:39So that's another good application, I guess.

05:41But still, I always look down on these things.

05:42One more.

05:43Lonnie's in Seminole.

05:44Lonnie says, former law enforcement.

05:46Hi, Lonnie.

05:47You're on the MJ Morning Show.

05:49Hi, MJ.

05:49Good morning.

05:50Would you like to weigh in on kid leashes?

05:52Yes, I would love to.

05:54So 25 years in law enforcement, I can't tell you how many times we spent looking for lost children

06:01when a cute little backpack with a leash on it would have saved hours of stress on a parent.

06:08All right.

06:09So you're for the kid leashes then.

06:11Thank you, Lonnie.

06:12Listen, what a load of great calls there.
