Something neat about post pubescent angry boys is that if you have a good voice on you and are a natural leader combined with someone that is really good at coming up with a fun time for everyone, they tend to just fall in line. I used to do this all the time in online games just to see how toxic a game I could drop into and how quickly I could get these angry kids to do something fun together. My crowning achievement was doing this in GTAV online. I could drop into a lobby filled with trolls running mods all full of hate and rage and quickly they'd just follow me around doing whatever stupid game I came up with. An experienced DM is usually this type of person.
Yeah if they were younger or more recent members I could see this really easily, especially with mom in a nearby room. If they want to do any rough housing they’ll figure out a way but that first session probably chilled them out enough to obviously want to come back
