Boys, I cannot tell you how much blood flows below the belt when I see how many people throwing comments on Spotify. Like I'm more in the world to where it's like you got Spotify, you got Apple, you got like the audio platforms.

I know they're developing. They're evolving. They're becoming something bigger. Yeah. And then it's like anything video comment format. It's usually through social media and through like a YouTube, the YouTube channel because there's always comments that you're reading the YouTube channel. But to learn about what's going on on Spotify and how we now have our video. If you're a listener right now and say you're on YouTube and you also have Spotify, our video is also on Spotify. And since you've been doing that, Derek, and big shout out to Derek. Yeah. That's a Derek call right there. Getting the video on Spotify and seeing how many comments are flooding in Spotify. I love it. I love it. And I know we have the pre-recorded shout out to Spotify, automated ad free. If you go to our for the dad's channel on Spotify, you will get automated, you know, automated ad free over there. It won't be the automated ads that you're on the bus with the boys channel. So that's an upside of going to subscribe and following on our Spotify channel.

Again, if you're watching on YouTube or listening on YouTube, simply subscribe to the boys, leave comments. If you're on Apple Podcasts, Amazon. There's a bunch of them out there. Netflix has got podcasting now. Got podcasting. Can't comment on it though. Can't comment on it. Can't comment on it.

Also can't watch it for free. You got to be behind a paywall. Not this show. Not this show. We'll never be behind a paywall. Yeah. Yeah. Also, just some fun numbies.

You have 70 comments on our last episode. I saw one. You want to, you went on, well, that's, that's on YouTube. We had 70 on YouTube, which is great for YouTube. But then, well, as, your text said last night, add in the 60 plus that we had on Spotify, that's crazy work. Dude, that's a lot of PT6, Milk Team 6, Seaman Team 6, the Goon Berets. Yep.

The Seaman Team 6ers going through Bud's training right now, breeding until dad status. Come on. It's a lot of verbiage we use on this show that we know that the community has taken to. Yep. So again, if you are new, welcome to For the Dads. I did see a quote. You actually sent this to me. I went and dove in and found the comment.

And I love the segment idea. Do you want to share the segment idea? Yeah. The segment idea is just Dan Gable quotes. Segment. Segment on For the Dad's podcast is Dan Gable quotes. Dan Gable quotes. Why not?

And I will say when I was as a bit to like do a Dan Gable quote to you. When I Googled it, there was a good like 40 or 50. So that's at least, you know, 40 episodes worth of content. It's a great idea. There's nothing like a good Dan Gable quote. Matter of fact, I'm going to save a Dan Gable quote for just a lesson quote topic at the end of the episode. Do you have a Dan Gable? And so, for today.

Oh, I have a great one. Okay, good. I have a great one. I also have one just to shout out off the top of the episode. Please. The first period is one. Hey, and guys, if you don't know who Dan Gable is, number one, fuck you. Just kids show.

just bleak myself out. Get to know Dan Gable. This is a guy. This is a mindset, a mentality, a discipline. It's a guy that you want to learn from. Can I shout out my friend Dustin McLaughlin that put me on to Dan Gable and said, got to bring up Dan Gable to Will Hildenut.

Sorry. And bleak me, believe me. Dan Gables's like, that's like, that's Lord. If you mentioned Dan Gable to me, I'm thinking, oh, we just connected on a deeper level. Yeah, yeah. Because I feel like I do walk amongst, around people that have no clue

who Dan Gable is. And that's sad to me. Yes. Because we, again, the VHS tape's like, this was a Dan Gable family growing up. We were, we were wrestling. I didn't like wrestling, but my dad made us wrestle.

My brother was a stud at it. We were a wrestling family. You're a wrestling family. You know who Dan Gable is. Yeah. I got one off the top. And this one's on, this one's on wrestling and effort.

The first period is won by the technician. The second period is won by the kid in the best shape. And the third period, the third period, the final period, is won by the kid with the biggest heart. Three's up. Three's up. Get your threes up.

Damn. This is like, this is fatherhood right here. That really is. I love it because it's all facets of wrestling. He just covered all facets. All facets. And encapsulated it inside of fatherhood. The first 10 years is won by the best technician.

We are teaching. We are teaching these young kids. Our young kids are little, our babies, our toddlers. What do they call them once they get like out of the toddler face? Ankle biters. This is about. What are they called? Teaching them technique of how to operate in life.

The second period, the second decade is won by the kid in the best shape. Who fundamentally and foundationally is this kid going to be 10 through 20? And then beyond that, once they graduate college, it's going to be won by the kid with the biggest heart. Come on, man. All these values and all these principles that we teach them, that is what's going to carry them in and make them the man or the woman

that they're going to be throughout the rest of life. Come on, man. Hey, can I say something that really pisses me off that you just reminded me of with that whole Dan Gable thing? The saying, a jack-of-all-trades is a master of none or whatever. You know what I'm saying?

What is up with that? Why can't you be good at a bunch of things? of shit. You can. How would that not be helpful or beneficial oh super successful people are only good at one thing? I feel like Jack of all trades master of none is kind of like a...

Go ahead there, jump in here. There's just a common thing where that quote's not finished. And so it always says, but is always better than a master of one. Okay, thank God. There is an ending to that quote. I'm glad. Yeah. Jack of All Trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master

of one is the full actual quote the people never finish. You can be great and more than just... Derek White! That's been grinding my gears for literal years, dude. I'm like, what the fuck does that mean?

When I saw your piss hot about that, I'm thinking to myself, I think that, you know, I usually think like the Jack of All Trades Master of Nothing. Like, that's like a nod of... That's kind of where you want to be. You can be better than just being a master of filling the bottle with milk. God.

I'm so... I'm so glad that I'm missing. understood or didn't have the full quote. And two, that I went against the grain. I really thought I was being rebellious by like, hey, maybe being good at a bunch of stuff is actually a really good thing. Maybe that's good. Read the headline. Didn't finish it.

Didn't finish the article. Read the headline didn't finish the article. What's this bullshit? This shows for Jack of All Trade's Fathers. This isn't just mastering, taking out the trash throwing to work. Yes. And be like, I'm the breadwinner when I get home. Yes.

It's about being a jack of all trades. You do the dishes. You clean the kitchen. You pick up the toys. You do bedtime. You make the beds. You do all the things, along with your wife,

along with your partner. Oh, yeah, yeah. Team, team, team, team. Team, team. This is Papa Team Six standard fellows. Can I do a really, really, really quick shout out? Please do, because we do shoutouts throughout the entire episode. This is a special one.

Okay. This was for at Jared Beeman's comedy show, which I'm sure we might talk a little bit about that. Bringing a Blee? Yes. Did you meet Lee? Yeah, of course. Oh, my God, dude. Lee's got to come on the show.

Oh, oh, you're talking about comedian Lee. Comedian Lee needs to come on the show. He's incredible. I'm talking about this is also Lee, who is a PT-6er. His daughter was born with a bunch of complications. There's a lot in that that I'll just to keep it short. finding a babysitter's really hard for them. And they were going to come to Jared's show both of them, because wifey and husband,

because they wanted to say what's up to us because they're big for the dad's fans. Babysitter cancels. MT-Sixer says, you got to go. Leave. Like, I'll hold down the fort. You got to go say, what up to the boys? Go enjoy the comedy night. So I got to meet Lee.

And he literally said, do not shout me out at all. which I'm breaking that rule. He was like, I really just want you to shout out my daughter. So shout out to Lee Lee Rose, who is his little girl, and they have a precious little family pick. Lee was the man, dude. It made my night getting to meet Lee.

And shout out MT-6 or Lee's wife. You're such a stud. This big time play. For going, hey, you know what? Babysitter canceled last second. Babysitter canceled last second. Yes. And she literally said, go have fun.

Go have a night. That's tough, dude. The babysitter canceling a second. I know. And you said it's been hard for him to find a babysitter because of stuff with their daughter? She has cerebral palsy, the daughter. I'll reach out to him and make sure that I can share all that. I would assume so because he had shared a bunch of pictures and their story.

But yeah, dude, just very humbling. It was like what I talked with you at brunch about of just getting to meet some of these parents and hear their stories and like seeing pictures and videos from the hospital and like I'm starting to tear up so I'll keep it short. But like there's really good people out there. There's some really good parents out there. And the fact that we even get to touch and meet some of these incredible parents is such a humbling, awesome. experience. I love this show. Yeah. That's it. I'm with you. I see the tears. I appreciate the tears too because you're you're just spot on.

You hear so many stories and get to talk to so many different parents who have stories that are, it almost feels like you feel undeserving at times to right now we have, like I have two kiddos that are both healthy. And then, sorry, I'm laughing because I'm feeling myself tear up as well. but you just hear what parents go through. Yes. And dude, there are grinders out there, bro. Grinders. That go through things that are so different from like the majority of parents that

hopefully everybody has healthy kids, but that's not the reality. Yeah. And just to feel their energy and personality, appreciation, their gratitude for everything and just excitement when you're just like, golly, man, it seems like you go through the gutter. Like you go through shit to where I can't, I can only imagine like being in your shoes

with some of these stories that I hear. Yeah. Just makes us, I know, so Sherman and I, we had our first little brunch together. We had a little daddy daughter date. But we were kind of having this conversation on the stories and the comments

and the stuff that the parents out there share with us. That you just kind of, it's like just one of those stepback things of one gratitude and then big time. It's just, again, it feels like it makes us appreciate what we have with our kiddos

and then also, I know for me it feels like you feel undeserving at times to be in a spot to where people are thinking you about stuff and I know people are like, oh, you're overthinking that, yada yada, yada. Yeah. I understand that. It's just like the feeling that I have because you're just like your heart goes out to these fighters that are out there.

Raising kids the best way they can. They have to just they have to have these ego deaths with themselves because they just, you just understand and accept, hey, we are in a different situation. Yes, dude. Meeting such selfless people. And it is very grounding. Not that I'm like lost in the sauce of all the world news, but like the world is so fast

moving. And there's always a different thing on social media and blah, blah, blah. And getting to like read some of these stories like we do on the show or meet PT-Sixers out in the wild hearing their stories. It's just so grounding and a reminder that like, they're. are incredible humans out there. And dude, just seeing the picture of his family. And I just think to myself, I look at those kids and I go, they're so lucky.

Yeah. They have such loving parents. And God, it just makes my heart happy. Yeah. And because you know that there are also bad parents out there. Yes. Like kids that, you know, kids from all different ranges can have bad parents. Oh, for sure.

And you knowing that this kid is going through something, what did you say cerebral palsy? Yes. Like this kid has something going on and they have these incredible people looking after them. You're just, you're thankful for the kid. You're appreciative that the kid has these parents. Because very easily, like it's not, it's not rare to have bad parents out there. Like it's around us all the time. That's, that's more common.

Yeah. That's more common. Yeah. And so it is really cool. And it's, yeah, humbling. I keep on saying humbling, but it's just like such a cool reminder. I was telling Will, I was like, I feel like such a phony that the only thing we got to worry about was Scarlet is that she has a tear duct that's closed up. Rue had one of those tearducts where we'd have to massage your eye with like a warm rag.

She had like a tear duct for like, I know it was maybe going into two years old, but like a year and as long as a year and a half at least. I believe I know my wife might fact check me on that. but yeah and i'm i'm sitting there in the morning's going i got to go get a hot rag oh my god she's got so many i buggers oh my god i'm gonna have to wipe all this down there's another parent that's breaking out the wheelchair breaking out the ramp to the you know minivan getting kiddo in there getting them to pt getting them to that and guess what that parents still making it early to their job they're kicking ass at their job it's just like hailing all they're nonsense that goes on at the workplace.

Coming home, checking out, making sure they turn that off while they get back to raising their kid. Dude, shout out those parents. Yeah. We are so blessed and lucky if you listen to a show and you are in that boat. I just want to shout out. You are literally angels. You're angels.

Yeah. Yeah. I just wanted to get that off my chest right quick. Could be an emotional episode. Yeah, what that heck? Could be an emotional episode. I think I'm past it. I think I'm past it.

But shout of it. about lead the comedian too he was great we we should have him on the show yeah we need to get lead the comedian on the show i ever have i ever told the story about ru having a uh a seizure not on the show have not told it on the show no rue had a seizure when she was about a year and a half old i think again i know my wife is listening but ru had a seizure at the daycare she was at and buddy the scariest thing in my life yeah the scary the most terrifying thing ever like i remember the the daycare lady called in an absolute panic the firefighter had to end up taking the phone from her and just let me know what was going on with ru and so much emotion is just i was standing right

over there this is when we just had this side of the shop we didn't have the other side of the shop everything was in house right here and i remember standing up over over the table like taking this phone call and just a panic going on. Because at first I'm wondering, I wonder why the daycare lady is calling me right now, because I knew Charles was the one that was going to be picking Roo up later that day. Yeah, yeah. And they say, hey, Roo, Roo's awake right now. So everything is okay.

We believe that she had a seizure. She's very out of it right now. She's not like responding verbally or anything else. She's kind of just sitting there. We're going to rush her to the ER to the hospital. and I call my wife, she's just getting out of the shower because she had missed calls

and she just missed the calls and we are obviously sprinting to the hospital. I'm coming from here, Charles coming from home and the whole thought in my head again I hate it could be an emotional episode

but the whole thought in my head like as I'm driving I had just lost I lost my mom the December before because this was my, I lost my, I lost my mom the December before Roo was born. Yeah.

Rue was born in April. So I'm driving over just thinking like, you know, they had her plugged up to IVs and everything. Like in this in this ambulance, bro, one year old in an ambulance, just envisioning that in your head, knowing that mom and dad, mom and dad aren't around her. And I'm driving just thinking, yo, if I were to lose, if I were to lose, if I were to lose. if I were to lose my daughter with all that going with you know the year that we had had yeah yeah and everybody you know I I've shared a lot of stuff about my mom

but to go like I had no clue what I was driving into we run in the ER we run in the hospital Rue is just her little body is plugged up I'm talking IVs needles everything to try to get her vitals and everything else and she's just unresponsive bro like she's not crying she's just like like naked laying on the table. And,

dude, it was nuts. It was nuts, man. Like, Charo, we're sitting there holding their little hand

and she's looking at us. But again, there's nothing that's coming. Like, you know, she's probably scared. She's not, there's no emotion

coming out of it. And I'm bawling behind Charo. Oh, dude. Like, we're obviously both crying, but I'm like, I'm like beside myself

that you're just seeing this happen. She had to stay overnight. She had to sleep. she had to get all this stuff attached to her brain and uh stay overnight to see if this is something that's going to be reoccurring or

if it was a one-off like we don't know what it was or trying to check all the levels they believed that she had a seizure but they didn't know at the time like when the firefighter called so you just don't know what's happening like she has a pulse she's breathing she's okay yeah and uh dude that

experience was to see your baby going through something like that and we went to the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital and just to think about parents that go through a situation like that daily, weekly, or you never know what's going to pop up the next time and you just hope that, hey, they're checked out right now and we might need to look for this.

We'll have to bring them back to check blood levels. Like, you just see your kid go through this stuff, man. That moment was, yeah, that's a... It brings back a little, like, you just have PTSD on it's something you feel like might happen to Rue because you just don't know. They believe it was a one-off. they're like you know we talked to one doctor that said this kid this happened with their kid like

you know if it happens before a certain age i'm just throwing it out there again we're not experts on the show whatsoever but if it's we are not if it's before three this could be something that's a one-off like we'll just will continue to follow up like every week or two and if if she gets you know a certain time without having another one then that tells them it's not going to be some reoccurring thing to where she might have to take meds or something like that yeah dude it was It was crazy. I can't even imagine very funny too because you've told me that story before. I mean, you didn't tear up the first time you told it to me, but.

Walking through it and again, like in my head as I'm walking through taking the phone call, I can still visualize. I can visualize every detail that day on getting in the car, speeding to the hospital, walking in those hallways. I see Charles at the end of the hallway. I'm like, where's she has? She's like, she's over here and we're just running in there. and then you just see your little, you just see your baby, bro, plugged into absolutely everything.

And it is, uh, yeah. Hearing that, hearing that now with Scarlett, that's just a way, that's like a completely different story now. That's crazy. Yeah, man. I'm so sorry that y'all had to go through that, but also just makes me so happy just thinking of like art brunch and just like seeing Rune now. Oh, bro.

She's so full of personality. Oh, my God. And even the next morning, it's like as a parent, you're stressed the entire time, like, when she's kind of coming out of whatever it is. And she's not like fully there. You know, I go and get us some, because we're pulling over, you know, we're like staying at the hospital. And I go and pick us up some chick filet and come back and try, you're trying to get her to eat a little bit of food, whether they have applesauce at the hospital or whatever it is, milk. Yeah. And then to wake up the next morning and kind of see her like crawling around, having a smile on her face.

even though she's connected to all of this stuff with her brain, but just to feel a little bit of that relief because they're smiling because you wake up and you're kind of just, hey, how's she doing? Do we have any checkups? You're like wanting to ask the doctor so many quieser. Get him to keep coming in every five minutes and know if there's an update going on. Yeah.

And but just to see you're in like good spirits, it was just such a weight feeling like it was lifted off. Like you started to have like optimism about what could be, you know, that we're just going to have good news, I guess, when the doctor comes in. Yeah. But that was such a relief. But, dude, our brunch, seeing the, seeing Rue operate with Uncle Shirm was a, was a fascinating sight to see.

We went to stay golden. No free shout to us in here in West Nashville off of 51st. Shout out to them. They have some good coffee. They won me back, man. They won me back. I know you had a bad first experience. This was your second time.

I can only imagine when I said, hey, stay golden. and what was probably going through your body based on what you, based on the first experience that you had, getting some cold food, getting some service. That was a little, that was a little suss. I've had nothing but good experiences with Stay Wilder.

They blew me away on the second, and not to divert the story, I apologize, but they blew me away. I am fully on board with Stay Golden. Yeah, but Sherm and I, we planned out a daddy daughter date

and daddy daughter lunch or brunch. We go over to State Golden. Uncle Sherm's ripping around with Scarlet. She's in the stroller. I have Scott Zilla, Scotty and Rue with me. Oh, yeah. There's a nice little line there, but we got seated at this table. And it was, dude, Rue was on 100.

Rue was on 10. Bro, the entire time with Uncle Shirm. The entire time with Uncle Shirm. Scotty was on her best behavior. She was eating, you know, she was trying to put food in Scarlett's little cup that's attached to the stroller. Scarlet was on her best behavior. She was kind of just chilling the entire time.

Rue's playing with her. Scottie's eating her food. I was about to say that was my favorite part is Rue was playing with me a bunch, but it was I was not like the center of her attention. It was really Scarlet. It was so cool to get to watch Rue, who's three. Yeah, Rue's three. Just why she have two jackets on her?

Because I forgot a blanket, go dad. So I got Jill's jacket that she left in my car in Scarlet's jacket and put it on Scarlet's jacket. And put it on Scarlet like a blanket. I was like, well, this is Scarlet's jacket, the fuzzy one. And this bigger one is her mom's jacket. And I'm using it like a blanket. And she goes, you need to put the fuzzy jacket on her feet to make them warm. And then Scarlett, your mama's jacket will go here.

And she's like going into full, like, maternal, like wanting to take care of the baby. And I'm like, God, this is so cool watching her. And she's like, Scarlet, can you blow kisses? Can you blow kisses? And I'm just seeing, like, the love and the playful stuff that you and Chara have put into Rue. And then seeing Rue, then doing that to Scarlett, like, kind of mimicking that behavior. It's like, dude, this is so sick just to, like, see play out. Right.

Just to, like, witness, like, development. And you're like, man, I can't believe you're three. Because, again, you've got to do all these, you got to do all these things to help Rue communicate with Scotty or be. around Scotty when Scotty's like pissing her off and doing stuff like hey she doesn't mean this like she just wants to play with you yeah you know and she'll obviously sees us communicate with both of them but

Her hair looks fine. Like this is one where I feel like I could have just done a body, a body shower, a body bath with her. You know, I asked her in my sweetheart. Is your head itchy? She's like, no. I was like, her head's not itchy? She's telling me right now her head's not.

You heard her? She's like, she's been itching her head like these last couple days. Have you been itching your head over the weekend? She was like, no. She hasn't been itching her head. Mama, it's all good. And trial was on that, you know, residual effect from that after Rue goes down

I'm like, hey, Roo, she's like, Dad, Dad, can I do a TV coupon?

You can do a TV coupon, but we have to, listen to me. We have to wash your hair before Mama gets home. Dinner's going to be ready. Everything's going to, you're going to be in your PJs, your pajamas. And you're going to be ready to go when Mama walks in that door. Yeah. Because she's going to know Daddad took care of it. Hey, I heard you loud and clear.

You wanted her hair washed. Dad is going to get her hair washed. And it's not going to come after dinner time when we're all at home. And she's like, well, are you going to give Ruby Bath? No, no, no, we're going to have that knocked out of the park by the time you walk in that door. And food will be ready. And food will be ready. Yeah.

So I'm washing Roos hair. But as I'm getting everything set up, you know, when you got a couple minions, there's some parents out there have more than two kiddos. But when they're all like, I got Roo and Scotty, Roos, three, Scotty's one. Scotty's all over the place. Like, I have to move tables because Scotty will climb couches and climb the armrest and trying to climb on tables. And she's just, you can tell she's confident because she flirts with the edge. of everything that she climbs on. Oh, yeah.

Like, you know how they kind of climb up and then they'll kind of rock over to her they'll be seated? She'll sit right on the edge of the couch. And the whole time, I'm like, Scotty, you, you, sweetheart, you have to get on the couch. Come here. Because I'm telling you right now, you're going to tip

and you're going to fall, you're going to hit your head and you're just going to cry and I'm going to console you. And we're just, you're going to have to learn the hard way about you being next to the edge. And she's always climbing on stuff to where it's like a hard spot and a soft pillow. She steps on both and gets tumbling down.

And she's just been lucky so far. And she's not waddling when she's walking around for parents at home to have a kid that's waddling right now. Scotty is got the hand going. And it is truly like a very fast walk wherever she's going. She's trying to learn to run. She beelines. But as I'm getting something set up in Rue's room, as I'm getting this bath ready to wash Roo's hair, Scotty goes and throws her Lama, throws her Lama in the bath. Soaked, good.

So I walk in. I'm going to put Roo and I see Lama just. sitting there drowning. I know you love your llama. Nah, nah, and now we're gonna have to air dry. We're gonna have to dry llama now

and you're not gonna get llama in your hands and all to circle back to you gotta be on your peas and cues with Rue. Roo's walking me through how to wash your hair or how she wants it done, which I already know. I'm like, sweetheart, I got, she's like, we're not gonna wash my body, sweetheart, we washed your body last night.

We don't have to wash your body today. We can just get it wet. Yeah, yeah. So you don't have to do my armpits? No, sweetheart. You don't do my private parts? No, sweetheart, no, we're just washing your hair. This is a hair night.

But why? You get into explaining why. Big Y phase right now. But get Rue all done as I'm trying to corral Scotty. Scotty's mad at me. I'm pouring the water on Rousse's head. She's screaming because she wants water. She wants to be in the bath, water poured on her head.

Scotty just back up. Give Dadette some space. I'm going to make this quick. Get them all corralled dry, you know, not both dried off. But, you know, Scotty, you just always got to watch because she's just walking everywhere, getting into everything. as I'm trying to bathe Roo. So we get downstairs, we go.

I'm like, we got to dry Scotty's, we got to dry Scotty's llama. So I haven't given Lama and Taiki baths before, the bath being the washer and the dryer. So I'm going down there, I'm like, all right, we got to dry them off. And I throw a llama in there. And I'm like, I hope nothing happens to Lama. Oh, no. Like as I'm trying to dry Lama. So I turn, she's a Roo's like, can I push the button on.

Yeah, you can push the button. So we turn it on and Rue stands there. And she's looking at Lama in there. And she goes, Dada, Dada, you got to get Lama out. I'm like, why do I got to get Lama out? She's like, you got to get the bag. You got to get a bag. I'm like, Lama goes in a bag.

She's like, Mama always puts Lama in a bag. And I'm like, do you know, I don't know where this, what bag she's talking about. I'm like, do you know where this bag is? She's like, yeah. So I pause and stop. I'm like, can you show me where the bag is? She like points up to a, she points up to a cabinet. And I'm like, hey, I'm going to lift you up and you find this bag for me.

I lift her up. She goes and finds this netted bag in the cabin. She's like, this is the bag you got to use when you're giving Lama a bath. Yeah. four. Three year old. Three year old. Let me know. Hey, there's a certain way we operate in this house. We don't wear two jackets, shir. Yeah, what are we

doing? Yeah, two jackets here. Where's the blanket? I forgot the blanket. Why did you forget the blanket? Yeah, no, she truly's like, hey, she wanted to be like, hey, idiot, where's the blanket? But she was very sweet and just said, well, maybe put the warmer jacket on the feet. You kind of have this lighter one on

the feet. Let's switch that. Yeah. Arrug got piss at me this morning. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it.

And, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself.

I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jen Chinchin win. I mean, she went down in three to Roebuckina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lerner Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now and I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck.

Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential.

Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And I was starting to get a little, I had to let Rue know that, hey,

when you feel big emotions and they're kind of coming out of nowhere and they don't make sense and you're not calming down. Dad has starts to feel big emotions too. Oh, yeah, yeah. And dad has starts saying things that he doesn't mean. Yeah. So we got to start the day off on the right foot. Like I go and wake Scotty up.

I bring her in there. Rue starts whining. You know, I open the curtains. I'm trying to just be in a great mood. I'm like, Scotty, say hi to the worlds. Oh, there's your big Cici. There's our big chip monk. Uh-huh.

And going over there. And I can just feel Rue whining already. I hate that I know parents. It's like you never know what you're walking into in the morning time. with your toddler. You're hoping they're just in a good mood. Sometimes they're just in great moods and sometimes they're in pissed poor moods.

And you don't know why. It's like, bro, we do the same routine every day. Yeah. Why are we just not in a good mood? She's like, oh, it's too light in here. I'm like, sweetheart. I haven't even turned a light on. I'm just opening the windows.

And I go and sit, I'm like trying to rub her back. She starts crying. I'm like, well, sweetheart, what's going on? She's like, you got to sit down here. You got to sit on this side. Yeah. Mom always sits on this side of the bed when she tells me good morning.

And she's saying in broken language. so where I'm not understanding it at first. I'm just like, sweetheart, you got to communicate clear with me. I don't know what you're saying. You're crying right now. I don't know why you're crying. Yeah, what's going on? Then I realized, like, I'm sitting on the wrong part of the bed to tell her good morning and wake her up.

And I'm just like, I can't with these women, dude. What's going on? What's going on? That was my very first thought when you were talking about the washing the hair and Ruse telling one story and Charo's telling another. Like, we are going to have to keep. all these women in our lives happy. It's not just one anymore. Yeah. And when they're little like that,

and you're just like, oh, man, I'm so sorry I sat on the wrong part of the bed. If I sit on this part of the bed, can we kind of reset and redo the morning? To the point to where I'll walk out of the room with Scotty, shut the door, close the curtains, and just pretend, hey, we're restarting. Yeah. We're restarting the period. Warm up wasn't good enough on the football field. We're going to restart the entire practice over.

So I'll close the curtains. I'll leave the room. And then I'll come in, oh, Roo, Roo, good morning. Let's open the curtains. Hey, Scotty, wave to the world, wave to the world. And then I'll sit down on the right part of the bed and be like, good morning, Ruru, how you did you sleep good to where it kind of like catches her off guard. And she's not like acting with me.

She's just like, I forget what she said, but I will completely restart the practice. If need be. Yeah, yeah. If I'm starting to feel so much frustration. should boil inside me and I can control it to where I just don't project and like, yo, stop crying. We're not doing this shit this morning because those times happened. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You just start saying, mama, mom's not here. Moms at work right now. You're with, you're with dad right now. Dad has the cap.

Want me to go throw on a wig and a dress? That makes you stop crying. Do you do the rewind noises when you reset? Have it. That could be a hit. That sounds like a good, fun one. That could be a Anytime there's an opportunity to just go full dad mode and act obnoxious. Hey, Roos, you'd rewind really? You and Dad had to go backwards? Just anything for a smile. Anything just to switch the mood up a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, dude, we're in it. Just wait until she's like, Dad, can I wear this jacket? Absolutely. She comes down the stairs, Charo, Caesar. You're not supposed to wear that jacket until your birthday. Well, well, dad said I can wear the jacket. and you're just sitting there. The thousand-yard stare, whatever that painting is.

Yeah. Yeah, honey, I don't know. Well, yeah, I don't know. Or you just take the kiddos to meet up with your wife and she's like, why does she get the rain boots on? And I just look. I'm like, look, she told me she won't the rain boots. That's a battle I don't care to participate in.

Fountain of Tears or rain boots. I went rain boots. So now we're here. And we're on time. And everyone's happy. Yeah. Why is she wearing jeans, rain boots, a dress or a two-two over top? Listen.

I said here. The Rue gets to dress yourself today. Yeah. Yeah. Some comments? Let's get into some comments. Got to keep it under an hour. Got to keep it under an hour.

I got a couple new dad comments here. One from Johnny Norton on Spotify. Hey, fellas, love the pot. I've been listening to you boys since the first few episodes. I myself was in Bud's training. the time but officially getting a promotion to PT6 in June as my wife and I are expecting a baby boy. Hey!

Dammit Johnny, let's go. Congratulations to you guys. I remember one of the earlier episodes you boys mentioned books you recommend for raising and having kids. Would you share those suggestions again as I'm hoping to dive into the playbook early so I'm ready to attack in June? P.S. Alipop root beer not talked about enough.

It's good. Look, I stamped that. I like root beer. I'm a root beer. I'm a root beer, I just have favorites that are above that. And we also,

so they sent us these Shirley Temples that we'll talk about later, but they sent us some root beers, correct? Yeah, root beer cream soda

and then this wonderful Shirley Temple. Yep. And cream soda, I haven't had the Shirley Temple yet. I'm going to try it here on the episode.

I was going to say live, but obviously this is recorded. Yeah. Cream soda's a banger as well. Root beer is good. Cream soda's a banger. I just think there are

better options out there in the Aliop universe. That's okay. That's just my, Yeah. That's just my subjective opinion. Olive Pop's okay with hearing that too. Books. Yes.

Really strong father, strong daughters is the only parenting book that I have jumped into before the birth of scarlet slash since she's been born. I need to dive back into it. I think I'm only like 40 pages deep. Yeah. For girl dads out there, strong daughters, strong daughters is a, should be a staple for you. if you just finished you just graduated budge training good you graduated budge training but job's not finished there's still missions to be had sleep training there's a couple options we have

out there for you um i'll let shirm say his mine was a 12 hours by 12 weeks or 12 hours and 12 weeks oh god yes dude just to kind of learn what goes on in those first eight weeks and each kind of each kind of pocket of every four weeks to kind of look to or learn about and understand what your kids going through it's a book to where you're uh the kids you're uh the kids It is adapting to your world and you're not adapting to everything around their world. So you're just not like a prisoner in your household and a prisoner to the routine and structure. Those things are very much needed. But a lot of good insight, a lot of good direction and practical stuff to get ready to prepare for when you are sleep training

and try to get your kid or to sleep within 12 weeks. Give her take, like Rue took 16 weeks. Scotty was down, was ready. It was, I got her trained. We got her trained up. Her technique was good by 11 weeks. Rue took longer. but it's just a great book to kind of to kind of dive into what sleep training is because I'm telling you,

sleep training those first 12 hours and sleeping through the night is a goal and a light that you and your wife both are going to want to capture and you don't want to wait until you're in it. And then you're learning about it at week nine, week 10. Oh, there's sleep training out there too late. Too late. Yeah. It is too late. It's not too late.

Not too late. But it is too late from the standpoint of I think that's the best advice you could have given me as a new dad, I have a six-month-old for any new listeners. You were big on 12 hours by 12 weeks. And thankfully, I have a nurse as a wife, Jill, who also is big on the sleep training stuff. We went with Mom's On Call is the title of the book. And it was written by nurses. And it's the same principle as 12 hours by 12 weeks.

It's just a little bit of a different strategy. Different iterations. There's a lot of iterations out there. And when I talk a little bit, different. I am talking about like 630 instead of 645 or, you know, don't give them a passie until 10 minutes in the crit. Very minute small difference. It equips you with these tool bags like while you're going through sleep training. Yes, dude. The overarching theme of allowing you to be able to live your life, dude, like being able to go to brunch, no sweat for me because I know that Scarlett

slept almost, you know, 12-ish hours. She's great. She's in a happy mood. She took a little nap, like on the way to brunch. And then she made like two noises at brunch. And they were minor little like,

ah, like she's not crying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It just, it gets the baby on a schedule. It helps you with maintain your schedule. It helps give you philosophies too to where, you know, you learn about it and then you realize like if you're somebody's asking you out to whether

it's a breakfast or a lunch or a dinner, whatever it is, you more have like the mindset of we can figure this out. Like we can do this versus just a quick response. I kind of can't this time. Baby goes down. Sometimes that is just going to be what happens, especially if they're newborn and everything else.

But it helps shift your mindset to we can figure things out based on the knowledge you're kind of teach yourself because I think the sleep training stuff is just a big win for dads in general because a lot of times Like when your wife's pregnant, baby's born and everything else, like as men, we really lean on our wives to have all the answers. And sometimes our wives are like their whole thing is like, dude, we're learning it just like you are in finding intention and learning some tricks of the trade along the way.

I feel like the sleep training stuff is a good way for dads to kind of dive in before the baby comes. Yeah. Because it also shows your partner that you're invested. You're investing your time and energy to learn about something to where you might have input as well to where you're having a conversation with. your wife and I just feel like it sets dads up for just a good early win and you just you're learning new information you're kind of educating on your yourself on what's happening so that way you're privy

to it as the baby's there so you're just not sitting there you're you're not sitting there when the baby's born with your dick into your hand wondering like well hey sweetheart like so what do we do here how do I how do I feed this like what time does the baby what times the baby go down it empowers the dads of yeah perfect example of my solo Saturdays I usually just to keep Jill happy while she's at work. I know it gives her peace of mind. I text her with updates of feeds. And I text her at 8.30. I said, hey, Led Scarlett sleep in this morning because she was out, you know, passed out. And instead of 730 feed her at 830. And I'm going to tear out her three hour intervals of feeds to where I'm doing 15 minutes early on every single one. So I'll get her back to the 730 schedule. So then she'll be,

She'll be out tonight by 7.30 p.m. Not even worried about it, Jill. Love you. Have a good day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Boom. And as far as books go, too, there's a lot of, oh, sorry, you got a question, I'll say, do we want to take this time, take a quick break while you go to do K? Oh, shit.

Once we will knock out another, we'll just knock out another comment, then we can. Oh, that's a 10-10, correct? Yeah, 10-10. I was just going to say, as far as books go, there's just a lot of good stuff out there. Wherever you might have an interest. It's like, how to raise kids not to be assholes. The Daily Dad has been a staple on our house. for at dinner, we'll read a day, you know, a day and daily dad.

I honestly need to get on because I've been off that for about a month. But the Daily Dads are good. And there's a lot of good stuff out there. My dad got me Daily Dad. I've yet to open. I need to start doing that too. Elijah.w14 on Instagram says, what's up, boys? Huge Packers fan here. Oh, man. Sorry, Elijah. Born in Wisconsin, moved to Canada because of my dad's job. Obviously never missed a game.

However, because of the inspiring words of Sherman Willie, spit week after week, I was able to get out of my seat while Jordan Love was making the drive of his life to change my beautiful baby girl's dirty diaper. She's three months old now. Never thought I'd love anything so much.

You guys are the best and have taught me more than I could know and keep doing your thing, PT6 all day. let's go Elijah sorry for the L dude yeah sorry that's a tough L being up 213 blowing that lead still have an opportunity in the second half two miss field goes a miss extra point

yeah oh what a what I would do is I would I would hop on he obviously has an Instagram if you have a Twitter as well I would just hop in Clay's Clay Matthews DMs yeah why not I would just DM tell him how you're feeling

maybe send him a screenshot of the bikini pick that Will generated on Twitter and say, what's this nonsense? Or just say, hey, I'm wearing a bikini with you right now, brother. Hey, join in on him. Bring back mankini. Just a selfie of him of a bikini.

a polo from American Waters. American Waters is a apparel company that sells polos that are all American made and they're incredibly comfortable, incredibly stylish. And McCray

And just to reiterate, we are not sponsored by American Waters at all. He just sent out clothes, you know, from the nicest of his heart. And they're incredible. I cannot speak highly enough to these. Yeah, and wrote an incredibly kind letter to each one of us.

And also the other thing that I'll point out that I haven't brought up before on these polos is with the dry fit material of other poloes. of other pillows You'll sometimes Like it'll be really cold outside And you wore the pillow like underneath the jacket And you can feel the coldness still Like the almost sticks to you This is like that moisture wicking

from the Get to Foundation. We also had a very kind note sent to us from the founder, Nate Jones. And I know that, Derek, you know a bunch of the backstory of the Get Too Foundation. You want to let the PT sickos know a little bit about that? Yeah, I believe it's, it was Nate's brother. Ben was a football coach and preached the,

you get to, not have to, get to not have to. Is their foundation? It's a mindset around the fact that everything in life. People are like, I have to do all these things. No, you get to and how blessed we are to have that mindset for it. But he had tragically passed away. So they started the foundation and the get to was kind of how he was remembered through it all. And so obviously we love the hat and everything about it. But really, it's the foundation. It's donating to it and what they kind of fight for over there. So it's a beautiful foundation that just saw our clip about saying get to instead of have to.

And so it's just a really, really cool cause we can get behind. He also sent us these posters. he sent us these hats. He sent us some bracelets that Derek's rocking one right now. All that being said, thank you very, very much for sending that. We also have a book

that was written by J.T. Roy. It was his first go at writing any book, and it's a children's book called Millie Bananas Can't Sleep. I have read Millie bananas can't sleep. I've read it to Scarlet. It is a fantastic book about Millie Bananas and her parents going through the checklist of all the things that need to be done in order for

Millie Bananas to be ready for bed. And guys, it is really fun if you're looking to build a nighttime structure with your kid of just all the little things. So brushing the teeth, combing the hair, taking a bathies. Millie Bananas runs through like all this stuff with her parents the illustrations are extremely well done those were done by yanna kozak um but j t roy who is a pt sicko uh wanted to just send this our way and we can't thank him enough he also sent us a little care package which this looks like a like marketing care package that and maybe it comes with the book i don't know but we got this awesome care package that came with like amy banana's uh stuffed animal it came with a toothbrush, like a toddler toothbrush.

When I showed it to Jill, she lost her mind. Jeeleen loved it, and we love the book. So J.T., thank you. Let's see. What else? Oh, we have not only a DM, but a nice little treat from Christy. This comes from Christy Schlesinger. She is a speech pathologist.

She is also a feeding specialist. Christy wrote in to the For the Dad's podcast Instagram from her Instagram feeding with confidence. So she said, hey, I'm Christy. I'm a speech slash feeding therapist and I run an account helping moms and dads in parentheses because you know Papa Team 6 feed their babies and toddlers and I had to reach out after your podcast clip about feeding your daughter.

My husband is a tier one fan of For the Dads and Bustin with the boys. So here is the download for the guide I sell to parents. I had to hook you up, but really, if you have any specific questions, I'm also happy to help. Big hug, sign and kisses. My husband told me to say that. Christy, thank you so much for reaching out. I've already run through. So Christy sent her 30-day solid feeding plan for nests.

newborns for toddlers, which is titled The Milk to Meals Blueprint. Chrissy, I've already run through some of it with Jill. Her being a registered nurse, she is going into the solid stuff with like a whole gang of stuff that she's learned from the hospital, et cetera. A lot of stuff that Chrissy talks about in this piece of literature. And Jill was like, Chrissy knows what she's talking about. She's on one. And so we're just kind of laughing and going through some of the meal prep stuff and some of the feeding techniques and how you want to have your baby set up in a high chair and eliminate distractions.

Christy touches on a lot of cool stuff in this. So make sure to check her out on feeding with confidence. And Chrissy Schlesinger, thank you for sending that in. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? huge news.

I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing,

a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I mean, she went down to three to Rovachina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface because if she's serving, well, good luck.

just classic grape and people are wondering why it slid down in the rankings. Hey, where's the love for Ridge Rush? Where's the love for Ridge Rush? Where's the love for vintage cola? Where's the love for root beer? Somebody was talking about Root Pier. I think you're sleeping on it.

I think Root Beer's a quality Oli Pop. But if there's one thing I'm going to be with you guys on this podcast, it's honest. It's honest. And I think that's why Oli Pop trusts for the dads. But this episode is brought to us by Oli Pop. It sure is. it sure is this episode is brought to us by

two to five grams of sugar per can in each of these cans. So if you're a big, if you're a soda drinker and you're looking to find a good substitute, a quality substitute that's good for your gut and good for your taste buds, it's olypop. If you don't like drinking water all the time, you like to switch it up a little bit. Olipop, they're everywhere.

Go find allie pop everywhere. Anytime I walk into a gas station, I had to find the olypops. Yeah. My local gas station, my local spot that I go to, three, four times a week, they have watermelon lime.

And watermelon lime is right now cemented, written in pencil, not pen, not Sharpie. Yep. But my number two slot is taken up by watermelon lime.

Really? Yeah. Number one is crisp apple. Okay. Number two is watermelon lime. Number three is classic grape. These are all phenomenal drinks. Yes.

It's just you got to, you got to rank them. Absolutely. my number four is cream soda. My number five might be the Shirley Temple. Really? Yeah, I like it. Very pleasant.

The Shirley Temple is the same note that I give with almost every olive pop flavor. It's so light, dude. It's so light. It has really, really good taste, but I don't know how to describe it other than it kind of, it's like I'm drinking water on the lightness,

full effect of like bubble guts, all that stuff. I feel like I'm drinking water. but it tastes like traditional soda. I don't know how they do it. Because you were a big soda guy. A big. You were a big soda guy.

Allie pop a team six. Um, crack a cold one goes to our brunch. That was going to be mine. Which I thought it would be. And, dude, it was just so much fun. I, for so many reasons, we already talked about Riu interacting with Scarlett. I got to play with Rue a bunch. It was fun getting to see her interaction with Scotty, her sister.

It was fun getting to see her interactions with you. She was really wanting to pull me into pulling a prank on Willie One Shelf. She wanted to get you. so bad with that she was invisible. Where's Rue? Where's Rue? And she's like, Uncle Shirm, you know, ask, ask,

ask my dad, where's Rue? She's getting me in on it. She's hiding behind me. Will walks out the damn restaurant. He walked out of the restaurant. He goes, where's Rue? And I just see, like, Rue's little head popping behind his back. Like, he's just sitting on a bench,

like the booth side. And Roo's just high behind him. And he's like, hey, where's Rue? And I was like, oh, where's Rue? Roo. Anybody know where Rue is? Will. And I'm being serious.

This isn't a game. Not a game. Where's your daughter? Like I really, I was, yeah. He's playing into it. I was like, oh, anybody's seeing Rue? Hey, guys, there's Rue back there? And I'm like, oh my gosh, I don't know where Rue is.

I'm going to have to go check the car. I'm going to have to go outside. So I get up and start walking and I'm like, where's Rue? She is losing it. I just feel this vibration on my back of her losing it behind me thinking it's the funniest thing in the world. And I'm thinking in my head, hopefully she says something

so Dad-Dazza has to have to go outside and pretend to walk to the car. Could you hear me? Yeah, I get here. I get here, sir, I'm trying to get her to say like, hey, tell him, tell him. And I walk outside, and I'm like, well, now I'm outside.

And I got to walk around the corner here. Then I see the windows. I'm like, all right, maybe I can look in the windows. And so I don't have to walk all the way to the car. Oh, my gosh. Because I'm trying to think, okay, in her mind, if she knows that Dad-Daz's leaving and leaving the building, maybe she'll panic a little bit.

She's like, dad, I'm right here. I'm right here. It's all good. Oh, yeah. But no, she kept the prank alive to where I'm in the window and then I look and I'm like, oh my God, there you are. That's literally what he did. He goes, there's the window.

Another party sitting there like looking over at me. Probably wondering if I'm like looking at them. They're like this psycho. What are they? Oh, my God. Walk inside. I'm like, dude, where were you? She's just not even talking.

She's laughing so hard. Yeah. What's the story? I heard you did not defend her from a bear? There was a bear. Can we hear about that one, sure? Yeah, wait. Did you post that?

The bathroom thing? The bathroom thing. When she went to the bathroom? Oh, yeah, my story. Oh, you storied it? Yeah, I storied it. I mean, I can give the video for context. Okay, yeah, video for context.

I want to give my video, too, because that was hilarious. But you go. Matter of fact, there we go. I can build on the crack of cold one. Yeah. The moment that Rue was like, Dad, I need to go potty. I want Uncle Sherm to take.

take me potty. And I'm being Scottie and I'm already laughing at my head because just as a new dad, like when your daughter, I'm thinking more a girl dad's because boys, I don't see it being. It wouldn't feel this way. But having your daughter and then she gets to the point to where she can go potty on her own as long as like somebody's there to, you know, chaperone or like take her. And I just remember the first feelings I had when I was in public. and she's like, ah, dad, I need to go potty.

I want you to take me potty and mom's sitting right there. And then I'm like, do I just take her in the men's bathroom? She's like, yeah, just take her into the stall of men's bathroom. I'm like, okay. But just feeling what I was feeling with my own daughter being like, oh, I guess I just take her into a stall in the men's bathroom. Just knowing that she wanted Uncle Sherm to take her. And I'm laughing to myself because I'm like, yeah, Uncle Sherm can take you, can take you potty.

And I'm like, Sherm, you got to go, she wants you to take her potty. And I'm just assuming Sherm's like, is this really going to happen? Are you kind of messing with me right now? I'm like, dude, she wants you to take her body? You want Sherim to take your potty? And she's like, yeah, like, Sherm, take her to the bathroom, man. And he's like, do I just, do I just go? I'm like, dude, she knows everything to do.

You're just, she just wants you. She just wants you to take her. I'm outside of the bathroom because this is my first potty trip of all time. I look in the bathroom. There's no stall. So I'm like, I look at Will and I'm like, it's just a, like, it's just. a room with one toilet.

I'm like, do I go in there or am I right here? With like panic in his eyes. And I'm looking at smiling. Yeah, I'm looking at his mind. I'm like, she goes and she sits on the toilet. Because the sheriff's going to go and he'll just wait outside.

All right. I took you potty. Like go in there and do, do what you do. She sits on the toilet. And I'm just looking at like, toilets over here and there's like a mirror and a hand dryer, paper towel

and soap thing. And I'm just like kind of staring at, I'm staring at the soap I'm kind of like, eyes are like this, like over here. And Rue's over here, Pian. And she goes, Uncle Sherman, why, why are you not watch? And I go, uh, that's a good question, Rue. I was like, I am, you know, I'm just kind of looking at the sink right now.

I don't know. I'm just, because I'm thinking in my head to answer why I'm not watching is just a whole other, that's a whole other avenue to go down. So I'm like, that's a great question. And then she goes, Oh, the toilet paper is far, and it was really far from her. And I was like, oh, to Will's exact point, hey, there's going to be stuff out of reach for you. You just like, you put it in her vicinity.

And so I moved it over. And then there was a little thing to put your phone on top of the toilet paper. And she was like, Uncle Sherman, what's this? And she's just sitting on the toilet. And I'm like, that is, you know, probably you put some soap there. You put some, you put your phone there. And as I'm talking to her, she's getting bored. And she just goes, there's a bear.

There's a bear. And she grabs the toilet paper and starts wiping, gets off the toilet. She goes, I'm going, there's a bear. We got to go. We got to go. And I'm like, you got to wash your hands. You got to wash your hands. She couldn't reach the soap thing.

And she couldn't get her hand like high enough. And so I just do the soap thing and I scrape it on. You're literally as you go. You can't reach that. Let me just, here you go. Go, go, go, run. Turn on the sink. Oh, man.

That was. That was an experience, dude. That was an experience. Anytime I don't want to be in a conversation with someone from now, I'd be like, there's a bear in this room. We're going to get out of here right now. There's a bear that will attack us and we need to go. And Will's like, you didn't try and save her from the bear?

I said, no, we're out of there. We were just like breaking it down however we didn't save her from the bear. And I just look over it sure how to go. He's like, good. She's wondering why I wasn't looking at her. why you not watch why you not watch me I don't know real

it's a yeah there's a good call I don't know why I don't watch dude she's so adorable she says like instead of like I really say I really want to do that she says I very want to do that

oh yeah it's just very she substitutes very very really that it's adorable bro her forgetting to hug Scarlett and I

They were like 90% of the way to Will Scar, and she turns to whale and goes, I didn't say by to Uncle Sherman Scarlet. And she just comes running down that little wind tunnel. Uncle German. Uncle German. She's sprinting at me. I'm like, dude, this is unreal levels of cute. It was unreal levels of cute.

Yeah, it would have went sideways quick had she not said goodbye to you guys. Oh, yeah. He'd go sideways quick with us. If she doesn't tell us like goodbye, hugs, kids, three squeezes, like three different times. Yeah. Or, again, her sign off is, don't let the bedbugs bite, go be great. Like, don't let the bedbugs bite in any situation. It could be 11 in the morning. Don't let the bedbugs bite, go be great. And you got to say it back to her.

Yeah. You're like, don't let the bedbugs bite, go be great. And it's like, oh, you too. And she's like, don't let the bedbugs bite go be great. Oh, go. Don't let the bedbugs bite. Go be great. That's good game. That'll be in my repertoire for next time. Yeah.

So, yeah. Dude, the little hug that she gave Scarlet to. She, I'll go turn her around. Like the, you know, thing was facing that way and I turned the stroller around. And she put her whole body on top of Scarlet in the stroller and put her cheek on Scarlet's cheek and just pat it like this. I was like, oh my God. Dude, every night, whenever I'm putting Scotty down, every night Roo has to go in. Like when your lights can be off, lights can be on when you're getting ready.

But like last night, lights are off. She walks in. She just comes in quietly. She knows the drill. Yeah. All she wants to do is give Scotty a hug kiss and three squeezes. Oh, yeah. She comes over, Scotty would just be knocking the bottle out.

And she just lean in and kind of do the hug, give her a kiss on the head. And then just grab like her wrist or forearm that's on the – because her hands attached to the bottom. And she'll be like, one, two, three. I love you. Uh-huh. And she shut the door. Okay.

Don't the bedbugs bite, Scotty. Go be great. Every night when she walks out. There was chaos happening the other night because we were flying out to New York. Charles had a workshop. And so we had the babysitter over helping me out with bedtime because I had to leave before like 8 o'clock. And so I was putting Scotty down. I'm like, hey, and she knows like Roo will walk you through the whole routine.

But I hear Rue losing it because she's trying to basically ask Ava if she can go in. She's like, I always go in there and give Scotty a hug kiss and three squeezes. But Ava doesn't know. She hasn't been in this situation. And she's like, no, you know, dad is putting down Scotty, you can't go in there. And Rue is just losing her mind going bad shit outside the door and I can hear it. When you said mind your P's and Q's with Rue, Will could not be more correct of like everything is like DefCon 1 in Rue's life. Yeah, yeah.

Like if we aren't going by the books, this is not good. Yeah. If you're not going by the structure, she knows and understands thoroughly. Yeah. There will be problems. Yes. And she's like, I do it every night. I do it every night.

Leave me alone, Ava. I'm just like, I'm trying to text Ava. you can let her in here and I'm like, Roo, come up here. And then she like comes in. I'm like, what's wrong? She's like, I just wanted to give Scotty a hug kiss. I'm like, here you go.

She gives her hug gets through squeezes. Then she's from there. She's just in a, the mood's fine. Yeah, then we're, yeah, we're off to the races. She's letting her know, I do this every night. I'm telling you you were wrong in this situation. Reminds me of someone.

Reminds me of someone. Dude, unreal. I have some, I have some dad hacks here. some right-ins. Yes, please. Want to hit some dad hacks? By the way,

ordered the ordering that snot-sucker system, that operation. Did you really? Yeah, I still got to do it. Oh, oh. Charles was like, like, they're like 75 bucks. I'm like, what are we talking about here?

This could be a much easier experience for the kids. Like, we have a pretty good life. We can get a $75 snotsucker. Number one, I want to play with it. I want to use it for my nose. I will say, hopefully, Charo uses it one time and says worth every penny because that's how that's how I felt. In comparing it to the manual snot sucker.

Yeah. Yeah. We got one here. Dad hack from Ryan Ridley on Spotify. Ryan Ridley, top three most inspiring people in my life other than my wife and mother. One, Thomas Jefferson, two Kobe Bryant, three, Will Compton. Thank you for all that you guys do.

If anyone deserves a B-Day shout-out, it's my man, Jay. Dude, happy birthday, Jay. Jay, you already got the best gift of all time, bro. That's crazy.

Sounds like Jay crushes it. And what a right in. Jay crushes. They're not even married yet. And she's like, this is, this is the guy. I'm telling you. I can't wait to have kids with them. Can't wait for him to be a father.

Seaman Team 6. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, bro. Jay Hernandez. Good Lord. What's the, was that a dad hack pile? The dad hacksteak. Yesterday was a tough day for me.

So I need a little grace here, man. Dad hack finds you a woman that's going to write something like that to be featured for the dad. It was a good dad hack. Good dad hack. It's a good dad hack. My second dad hack is this one comes from Cheney Gaudit 6 Sicko on YouTube. To all PT6, this jilly bean situation fell as is something we should not take lightly. Again, if you listened to the episode last week, Jilly Bean wrote a comment in on Facebook and somebody said, yeah.

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What was the comment back? It's like, hey, how about you stop asking for people to raise your kids and you raise them yourself? Yeah, you stupid B word. Yeah, no, truly. Like you, you F and B and you're a piece of shit. Right, because Jilly Bean was asking if there were any sitters in the area. You went to a Facebook group and was just trying to vet.

Like, hey, any recommendations out there for babysitters? Me and hubby were trying to go on a date night. Can we set up a sting operation? these are the PT sickos I've been waiting for to show them what's his name again this is a Cheney Godotett Pt 6th Sicko can we create another profile and post something similar to what Jill posted so we can lure this jackass out again

because you know this isn't the first time he's had something on that Facebook group dot dot dot just an idea hey those are people you go to war I'll tell you right now Channing Channing Channing Chaney. Cheney. Chaney.

Cheney. I will find this Facebook group and I will post in there and I'll put the babysitter thing out there and we'll see if we can't catch one. We'll see if we can't catch one. Because I would love. Here we go again. There's another one. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news.

What's the news? Huge news. We created. our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to our time. We're the first people to do podcasts.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down?

Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, Not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes.

Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jenchian win.

I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lerner Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world, right now and I actually can win on any surface because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Imagine an Olympics where doping

is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

That doesn't want to raise their kid. They want the village to raise it. Yeah, it's time to set up this sting operation. Shout out Chaney for this. That's a dad hack. That's a dad hack. Lure him out. Lure him out.

that is a good dad hack good dad hag this not dads work together yes it's not dads work together um r dot canner 5717 uh on youtube he said i've recently graduated from buds to pt6 congratulations wifey went into labor on new year's eve and after a very a few very stressful moments in the hospital our firstborn boy, Henry, was brought into the world on January 2nd. Couldn't be happier. And I have our very own bear cub to call our own. Dude, January 2nd, that was literally last week. Congratulations.

A few dad hacks that I was already able to pick up, even after only being a dad for less than a week. I bought Wi-Fi a pair of cheap walkie-tokies for Christmas for us to use while we're in the newborn trenches. I can already tell you that saying, this is Papa Bear. come in Mama Bear over the radio has already been useful and brought some fun into our new journey of this is great. That is awesome. I want walkies immediately. For expecting dads, go ahead and buy yourself some Halo brand baby swaddles. We couldn't for the life of us get the traditional swaddle or even

Velcro swaddle to work the first few days, but the halo has been a godsend. Do yourself a favor and get on that. I have heard Jill bring up Halo before. That's like a big brand. biggest thing I was worried about before becoming a father was whether or not I'd be able to quote unquote lock in and think clearly in terms of helping out mom, taking care of our little man, et cetera. However, if you just follow what these guys say and embrace the suck,

both in the hospital and at home, you'll be hooked in terms of being a father, which will in turn help wifie get more sleep and get through this very difficult adjustment period. Skin to skin, decluttering the house and picking up a lot of the late shifts might sound like more work. But just embracing it all will actually 100% make it easier to navigate. Love what you guys do.

You guys truly help me prepare for this new journey, your boy Ryan, aka Smalls. Dude, shout out Ryan. That's a good, that's a good write-in. A lot of good dad hacks in there too. Fabulous right in. Ryan murdered it with the walkie-talkies. Murdered it with the walkie-talkies. And sneaky, sneaky.

He's decluttering the house and picking up late night shifts. Yeah. Just like viewing it that way, he doesn't know how much of a W that is. Extra miniature dad hack, when they tell you that's okay, I can do it. Go ahead and do it without telling them. Do it without telling them. Doing it, bro. And then they'll go, oh, did you move that?

Oh, yeah, yeah, I did that earlier. No, you don't have to do that. It's fine. that's an immediate go do it and don't even tell him about it. Yeah. And then when you see him going to come across, whatever it is, like say you cleaned off the island. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She gets up from the couch. She goes over. She might get herself an olive pop out of the fridge. Of course. And then she notices the island. You have to be ready for when you were sitting back in the chair and you're kind of watching like, when is she going to pick this up? And then she sees it.

She kind of like looks around and then like looks over at you and you're just going to be sitting there like, ask who did that. Go ahead and ask. I'm on top of the world. I'm on top of the world. Truly, there is no better feeling. None.

And that is the best feeling to hit him either with the hand wipes or the, who loves you, baby. Yeah. I was hoping to set something up like that last night whenever I didn't wash Rue's hair on Sunday night and got it washed last night. We're recording right now on Tuesday. Yeah.

But mom calls. to like check in, let her know she's on her way and which dinner, which dinner do we got rolling tonight? Yeah. We were catching up on something. And Rue just leans in because she's got her PJs on,

fresh shed a just brand new clean hair. She's like, Mama, I washed my hair and kind of blew the surprise before Mama came home. Because I was waiting for Mama to see Rue. Oh, Rue. And gives her hug like,

oh, you're clean. And then I was just going to be standing there like, you doubted me, didn't you? Told you wasn't going to have to do Nothing. Told you I'd get her hair washed. Rue spoils it before you even have your heart. Because I'm sitting there on speaker and then, you know,

Scotty hears Mom's voice. She's by the chair. Oh, yeah. Like leaning over top of the chair. Oh, this was over the phone. Over the phone and on speaker. Oh, real. When you're going to be home or Roo?

She's 15 minutes away. She's like, Mama, I washed my hair. And I just go, damn it, Rue. She goes, dang it. Dang it. Yeah, dang it. Rue. Hey, I think Rue. is very intelligent.

I'm not just saying that. Riu's very intelligent. She's at that phase that I think you could have the talk with there of Rue. You could really be dad's number one girl. What I need you to do is make Dadda look as good as possible in front of mamas. This is what's going to happen. These are the steps that we're going to take. I am fully bringing you to my side.

these are the ways that you can assist me. Yeah. I think she might be ready for that talk. Frameing a way to empower her. Empower her. The opportunity that she has. This is a big opportunity for you, Rue. Let her know it's not for me.

Oh, no. For her. For you. Yeah. You could really do some damage here, Rue. Yeah. Oh, the kitchen smells so good. Oh, really, Rue.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, yeah. The kitchen does smell good, honey. Oh, yeah. Well, I cleaned it, I guess. I don't know what Roo's talking about. Just right when mom comes on. Dad, I did a really good job cleaning the entire kitchen.

Sweetheart, you don't have to say that. Rue. Toss her a cookie on the side. Keep it up. Keep it up. Hey, hey, hey, there we go. Okay, I have two voicemails. Perfect.

Let's rip them. Just a reminder. You call in. You get free merch. 601 the dads. 601 the dads. That's the call-in number. You don't want to call in.

You ride in. 601 the dad's edge. email you get a hat this one's titled don't eat my oreos what up boys on my emergency gas station run my wife is 35 weeks pregnant yeah he's in the trenches pregnant her first baby here any day you're sleeping well

we kind of have an unwritten rule on our house but I'm not allowed to eat anything if it's the last like thing of it like last cookie in the jar so that ties into this story

we had some Oreos in the cabinet and there was like three left for about a week and I just followed that unwritten rule and didn't eat them well tonight comes along

it's been about a week like I said and your boy was hungry daddy's hungry so I snacked on three Oreos it is currently 850 my wife's laying in bed he goes hey

can I have some of those Oreos that are left in the cabinet and God damn thank God the gas station was open though your boy got some Oreos peace out boys this is a broken man God damn

Hey that's a broken man right there That's a man who's just been overruled you can't have the last of whatever it is in the pantry that I might want. He doesn't know what to do. He doesn't know how to communicate right. A third wife's 35 weeks pregnant. He can't really say a whole lot. You're not doing anything wrong.

It's okay. You should be a broken man in 35 weeks. And can I say this? Yeah. He made the right call eating the last three. He did. If they've been sitting there for a week, nobody, only psychos might eat one or two Oreos at a time.

God. But if there's a three piece in there, that's like the serving size. And the little just glass of milk slides in right next to those three Oreos. Oh my God. Who leaves three Oreos in the pack? He goes, yeah, we're going to leave three left. To me, that's...

I don't mind the thought of the three Oreos, but it gets confusing because there's three that's been sitting there for a week. And when I go in and I'm thinking I'm going to get me some Oreos, you're going to eat a few Oreos at least. If there's three left, that's a fine serving right there. That's decent. It's not going to... You know, it's kind of like a reminder, okay, I don't need more than three, but there's three here.

That's good enough to operate. Yeah. Because when you're pouring a glass of milk, you're not just pouring like an inch of milk if it's one Oreo. Like you're pouring yourself a glass of milk. You might cut it in half, just do half the glass. Yeah. And that right there tells you, I'll make those three work with this milk that I have. A hundred.

Because you're going to sit there and pour a quarter of milk in the glass. You're not going to pour anything in between that. You want a glass of milk. And you can't be stuck there. You eat one or two Oreos. And then you have a lot of milk left. It just doesn't work like that. It does not work like that, dude.

I will say, this is a special occasion. I hate to put the pressure on olipop here because I definitely am. I think this guy needs more than just merch. He needs something a little sweet. I think he needs a little olipops in his way too. He needs a little treat. Oh, do you think we can get the power to send olipop to people? I thought Sherm was going to pitch olipop milk.

Oh, for a solid 30 seconds. Ollipop milk could be good too. We could reach out to allie pop. We could reach out to Ollie Pop, give the information and say, hey, listen, this, this broken, broken man called in. And, I mean, he's eating table scraps. He's eating table scraps, as he should be, 35-week, you know, pregnant, mommy. First time, dad, I believe. I just think that could be a good opportunity of just giving a little sweet treat.

Get that a little sweet treat. We'll see if we could do it. We'll work the back channels. We'll work the back channels. See if we can get the power of sending people some ascending like call-ins, maybe right, whatever. it is, we will see if we have the power to dish out olipop. That could be fun. I think it'd be smart for olipop.

That could be smart for olipop. Don't want to put the pressure. Don't want to put the pressure. But they need to olipop needs to understand that PT6 is their strongest fan base. Yeah. Yeah. And you're going to have a customer for life when that when that alipop comes in. Come on.

Come on. Think about the photo he's going to drop when he gets an olip at his front door. That's going to be the best gift that he's seen. And this guy hasn't seen the light in weeks. He needs a win. He needs a dub. He needs a dub. Quentin from Washington, uh,

joining PT6 today. Literally today. Boys, the name is Quentin from Washington. Pretty sure I'll be joining the club today. Had to let's call Quinn. My flight. My wife

at 33 weeks pregnant up to a bigger hospital. So I'm currently making the hour drive to that hospital and just kind of going through the thought of what that's going to be like. Just wanted to let you guys know, it's great to be prepped. And without this podcast, there's so much stuff that I just wouldn't have ever thought about or crossed my mind. You guys do great, you know, getting all of us prepped for that moment when it does come. So hopefully expecting. a healthy little baby boy.

Be a little premature, but we'll get through that. Come on, man. And, yeah, appreciate you guys. Love the brand. Keep doing it. Quinn, on the way to the hospital. I hope everything goes well with baby and mom. Yep. Premature, maybe a couple Nick Unites, not sure.

Either way, handle it. Yeah, you'll have to do the billy lights, probably the blue lights, and you'll just hold, you know, little baby's hands in there. They're going to be crying because they want skin to skin. They'll be crying. Who doesn't? but he's, Quentin's gonna be dialed.

Yeah, Quentin's gonna be dialed. Thank you for the call in, bro. Yes, thank you. Shout out of you, Quinn. New PT6, full on PT6 member. Yeah. Welcoming them left and right, bro. I had, I had something.

I can't remember what it is. Maybe it'll draw my memory as we get into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got some emails. Yeah, a couple email write-ins here. This one is from Colin Safferneck. Godly, boy, these last, some of these last names just sends me in a frenzy.

And every time I just got my wife in my ear, like you always kind of mess up the names and you kind of you need to just say the name if it's right or wrong and just go with it like you keep trying to repeat it you you just butcher it even more Did you do it? Hey boys, day one, sicko. Just wanting to thank you guys for what you're doing in the content you put out. I'm a proud dad, boy dad of a two-year-old with another little man on the way in April. Congratulations to you. I have a question for Will about potty training.

My son has shown some interest in the toilet and aware when he has to go in the bathroom. Do we start now or wait until after the new baby arrives? I've been told of a regression may happen once the newborn arrives, just wondering if there was an issue. you during that time with Rue when Scott Zilla came along. Appreciate the PT6 community. Shout out my brother-in-law, wife and sister for my Christmas dad merch. Always go be red. Hey, GBR and GBR.

Thank you for getting the Christmas merch. That's awesome. I know boys are there. It's a little bit different with girls as far as potty training goes. I would say if he's taking interest, like you take any opportunity you can to like expand on that interest of him going potty. I know when Rue, when we put. potty trained rue, we just went no diaper, no nothing for like a good two, three days.

Because they're becoming more conscious of their body. It's just getting them to go to the toilet. Yeah. Like we'd have, uh, Daniel Tiger has his song. Like, would you like to go potty? Maybe yes, maybe no. Let's, let's try and see if you have to go. It's something like that.

It's something like that. Matter of fact, we got to print it out and put it on the wall in the bathroom. Because he's a big Daniel Tiger fan. A little baron Daniel Tiger. And so we would just always have like those conversations with her. Again, when Rue went in and got into potty training mode, like my wife, Danny, everybody was on board because I came home and Rue was just naked running around the house one day.

I'm like, what's going on there? Like potty training. I'm like, well, what if she pees on the floor? It's like, this is how you got to kind of throw them into the fire. They got to learn. Because she was like interested in she was starting to feel it come along or being like, maybe I have to go potty and then you go in the potty and kind of sit there and nothing happens. Yeah.

But that is how we did it. I know boys are a little bit different. Getting that, you know, getting that private park, getting in correctly. There's some stuff that's got to happen for the stand-up game. You feel it? You just got to let it go. You got to let it go, man. You got to let it go, man.

And not right there. Let's do it in the toilet. Yeah. But I guess from that, I know I didn't really give you a full answer. But maybe coming up with a jingle or a song, something that when potty time is upon us, you get something that like dives into that answer. So, oh, hey, you got to go. Hey, this is awesome.

Celebrate it. Yeah, get your own little beat. Yeah. Throw a little freestyle beat on and you come up with your own song. Yeah. Maybe that. Yeah. Peat with him.

P with it. Yeah, man. Trying to put myself into the brain of a boy dad. We're going to figure this. Oh, I'd say that I take a pee. That's how your old man does it. Watch this shit. I love that.

I have a email. This can be our last email and then less than the week. because we're pressed on time. Press on time. Got a key. Stay under an hour. This is Michael Benino. He writes in and says,

Willie One Shelf and Fat Stafford, been rocking with the boys since the busing with the boys days and haven't missed an episode of For the Dad since. You two are dangerously good at making grown men feel seen. My wife and I have been together since 17, married in 21, and now we are officially expecting our first kid. Found out it's a girl. And her name is going to be Vienna.

congratulations Michael. Fired up and terrified in all the right ways. Sherm, hearing you talk about being a new dad has been clutch. I know I'm about to get humbled daily. I know I'm going to be running on fumes. And I know that I'm going to have to step up for my wife and my daughter like never before. I'm a plan. I'm a plan everything, control everything, execute everything type of dude.

And listening to you has helped me accept that I'm about to get blitzed from every direction and still have to stand in the pocket and deliver. William. Your commitment to everything you touch is a big reason why I'm a diehard. The grind, the passion, the way you attack your day. I relate to that heavy. I've been stressing about how I'm going to balance being that dude at work while also being that dude at home.

Hearing you talk about it gives me the confidence that I am built for it. I am ready to find out what else I have in the tank. and make sure I do not fumble when it comes to showing up for my family. My wife is a legend. She's slowly become a fan too. Listen to the pod with me on drives. And she even hooked me up with your Christmas merch. Come on, MT6.

Come on, MT6. Stay tuned for Valentine's Day. That's all I'm going to say, MT6. I'm pumped about that. But I'm even more pumped to watch her crush this pregnancy and do all the things that make moms absolute superheroes, just like Jilly Bean in charge. Keep it rolling, boys.

We live for this shit. Keep it rolling, boys. We live for this shit. Sleepless nights ahead. Good. He then followed up 17 hours later. Oh dear God, I almost forgot about chef. The man.

Dude. For those emailing in, if you give out hats, can we get a chef hat? Would be fire. It's been fun seeing your career get off to a hot start, bro. Don't forget to hit that record button. and keep it under an hour.

What a legend. What was his name? Michael Benino. Michael, thank you for the right in, bro. It's all about handling the pressure. Yeah,

it really is. He is. He said I'm Billford. He is Billford. He's a Papa Team Sixer. He's a PT-Sixer. Yeah, and he brought up,

like, all the great things I think, like, we bring up every single episode. The part that I find so funny is that he's like, man, I'm a, I'm a planet guy.

I have it all down to detail guy. man Sherman the way that you're operating I'm like I'm the least planned out guy I'm the least dialed in guy and so the fact that he's giving me flowers for that Michael I'm not deserving of that but I do thank you for your kind words and if I'm able to trick you on to believing that I'm even somewhat planned out it's because of the things that I've truly learned on the show and from my wife but thank you Michael yeah he's decided he's thinking the right way And you just got to know that the plan is never going to go according to the plan. Oh, yeah.

Any structure, because I'm big on prioritizing structure, like giving myself some control and power over what the daily operation is going to look like in my life. Yeah. But just know, whenever you structure out this plan, write it in pencil. Oh, big time. It can always change. It can always change. And then when it does change, it's all about handling the pressure.

He's saying he's going to get blitz. He's got to know he gets blitz. Yeah. But that QBR, that passer rating can't drop below 100. Yes. And if his MT-Sixir is built like me and he's more built like Jilly Bean personality-wise, it does balance out.

Like there are some pros of like my, I would say, laissez-faire kind of like roll with the punches where you can really help bring your partner down of like, hey, it's not going to play. And it's okay, look at this. Boom. New option.

Keeping that enthusiasm. Yeah, yeah. We're good. We're good. We're good. Good. Yes, dude. Yes.

Goes the shit good. Dude, the hardest thing. I've been thinking about this question too. Like, what is the hardest thing about parenthood? Would you be able to answer that right now? Hardest thing about parenthood? Because here's here's one of my thoughts. Okay.

Because again, it's like it's all hard. Like it's all difficult. Yeah. I feel like the hardest thing about parenthood is knowing that life that you knew it to be before parenthood is now gone. Yeah. Like killing your old self,

not like the values of the foundational things that make you who you are. But when you get in those moments of chaos with kids, your wife, work. Yeah.

Like when my man's driving to the gas station, he's having his emergency gas station run. But there's no thought of like, it's, the thought is this is every day, I guess, until I leave the nest. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like the responsibility of all of it is now all encompassing and it's on you and the family. Like there's no, I'm going to take a week off. I'm going to take the weekend and go to my parents' house. You know what I mean? Like some people might do that. Yeah. But you need like no matter what, like the hardest thing is knowing that all the, not like fun because there's a lot. There's all, it's nothing but new fun in parenthood and everything else.

Yeah. But you just have so many moments of being like, you know, Charles might bring up. Remember we got to just do that? it's like, yeah, you kind of miss it sometimes. But you obviously love having the family and this new life that you have. Yeah. The hardest thing is knowing that those chapters

before parenthood, it's like those are things that you just reflect on. That's not, you don't have those freedoms and everything anymore because you have to take on such a massive responsibility, a great responsibility, the most fulfilling responsibility. But I think a question that I've kind of just been wrestling with.

I would love for everybody, too, that's listening to this PT6 Milk Team says, any parent out there. Yeah. you know, drop some, drop a comment or anything else. I think the, I think the in response to that too, the kind of cool and beautiful thing of just like, uh,

there's like something built in us humans that maybe not in everybody, but I feel like in parents like it's a switch that just kind of turns on. And you're all the sudden like so happy to be in that new world too. Yeah. Like it for sure. It is so hard. Like I'm not, I'm not saying that that is. Yeah, I'm not taking it.

Again, this is like a question that's come to my mind and I'm just kind of bouncing back and forth thinking of ways or it's like, if somebody asks me what's the hardest thing about parenthood, like what would I say? How would I respond? Yeah. It's crazy like how stoked I am sometimes to just have Scarlett just like sitting on my lap where I would have loved to have my favorite show on and I'm decompressing after work and all that stuff.

But you're just like, you're kind of playing with Scarlett. she's not doing anything cool if a third party was watching. But I'm every 30 seconds just like, Jill, Jill, Jill. She's doing that. Yeah, Sherman, she's been doing that for like a week now. I haven't seen that. That's great. Like, just all the things that like you weirdly become obsessed with.

Are we like three minutes? Yeah, we need to wrap now. That could be our lesson of the week. I have a good, I have a good just quote. This is a Dan Gable quote right here. Let me Google a Dan Gable quote. On mindset and sacrifice. When I'd get tired and want to stop,

I'd wonder what my next opponent was doing. Think about what the enemy's doing. Think about what the next dad is doing. I try to visualize him. When I could see him working, I'd start pushing myself harder. End quote. And wanted to leave you guys with.

No one's ever drowned in sweat. Son. Dan Gable. Dan Gable. We love you guys. We appreciate you. We will see you next week. Make sure you take out the trash.

Right the shockwave. See you next week. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what?

We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick.
