b"Happy Saturday Seaver Fans,\\n\\nAngela Bowen here, the host of Show Me That Smile Again: A Growing Pains Podcast.\\n\\nThe 2nd LUKE BROWER Episode for the month of June.\\nToday, I covered S7E11: Bad Dad Cafe, which aired on November 23, 1991.\\n\\nIn this episode Mike's skeptical when Luke's dad reappears wanting his son back. Ben pretends to be Luke so Mike can check the man out.\\n\\nI\\u2019m so glad that Luke called out his dad for his BS excuse of not sticking around to raise him and then his dad doesn\\u2019t even bat an eye when Luke tells him he had been living on the streets for 3 years eating out of dumpsters and scared he\\u2019d get beat up. He still kept up hope his dad would find him.\\n\\nHis dad is a garbage \\U0001f5d1 person.\\n\\nHe practically forces Luke to go with him on the road and at one point tells Mike that Luke doesn\\u2019t need to be in school and he\\u2019ll learn from life on the road because he\\u2019s only got an 8th grade education. It shows.\\nGood grief.\\n\\nAlso he\\u2019s got like 8 other kids that he upped and abandoned as well. 8 babymommas that probably want to know where he is and sue his for child support..\\n\\nHave a great weekend everyone!"
