This show isn’t about expert advice and how fatherhood is the greatest thing on earth—it’s about embracing the love and suck of parenthood every day.

Cause at the end of the day... us dads have no idea what we're doing. Alongside Will is his producer Sherman Young, a soon-to-be dad who’s currently enjoying his last few months of uninterrupted sleep and freedom. Together, they’ll break down everything that can go right and wrong (...usually wrong) when you bring tiny humans into this world. Expect funny parenting stories, laughs, call-ins, advice, weekly themes, and the kind of conversations you’d have over a cold beer in the garage. Whether you’re raising teens or still Googling “how to install a car seat”, For the Dads is the ultimate podcast for dads who are in it, about to be in it, or just trying to do their best while screwing it up along the way. ----- FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram: / Forthedadspod Twitter: / Forthedadspod Facebook: / Forthedadspod LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Liquid IV - Go to https://www.liquid-iv.com/ and get 20% off your first order with code Bussin at checkout.

This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. 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. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you.

you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Winning on Clay is an art. The rallies are relentless. And at the French Open, only the toughest survive. I'd know. I competed there for decades.

Join me, Renee Stubbs, on the Renee Stubbs' tennis podcast for no-nonsense breakdowns of the biggest matches, the toughest players, and the moments that define Roland Garris. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lerabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface.

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 I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Papa Team 6, welcome to another episode of For the Dads. You might be in one with the misses right now, boys. Good.

That's why you're listening to the fellas. Maybe you just dropped your little one off at school and you got us on the, you got us playing audio right now on Spotify, Apple, the Amazon one, the Google one. The Google one. Whatever it is, make sure you are subscribed and following and maybe as you are subscribing, there's a tear in your eye because, again, you just dropped your little one off at school for the

first time, which is what I did last week. Good. What else could you be doing? Mowing the lawn. Maybe you're in the wait room. Maybe you're at work, listening to your boss, but you don't want to really listen to your boss. You just want to listen to the boys on For the Dads. I am Will Compton, my co-host Sherman Young.

This is a show, fellas, that embraces the highs and lows of fatherhood, embraces the trenches, just embraces the suck and love of fatherhood. We talk about dad wins and losses, things we'd crack a cold one too, some dad hacks, things we put in our survival kit. We have a hotline that you can call into. That is 601, the dads, where you call in, you leave a voicemail talking about a win or a loss

or a dad hack that you might have. We feature you on the show. You get featured on the show. We ship you guys some free merchandise. And then to round out every episode, we talk about a lesson, a quote, a philosophy, a concept, something that Sherman and I have gravitated towards over the last week that we're trying to

challenge ourselves as better fathers. I have one for us at the end of the episode that I took some time to think on and write down that I think you will enjoy because I do believe the PT-6ers out there, the Papa Team 6 guys, me, you, everybody out there consuming this brain in this podcast, we're all cut from the same cloth a little bit or else they wouldn't keep coming back. We have a great 10,000 view base right now. We've got to get those numbers up the way to do that, make sure you are subscribed to the channel. I believe we are, are we around 6,000 subscribers yet on YouTube? I believe so, yes. We're around 6,000 subscribers. We've got a great foundational base of around 10,000 viewers coming in. That's not including the tens of thousands

on audio, which fires me up. But again, to help the boys out, to help out this brand, continue to engage with us on our social medias at for the dad's pod. You can also reach out to me on X or Instagram, shirm on X or Instagram. The comments on YouTube are absolutely incredible. Insane. We love seeing the conversations in the back and forth. Am I missing anything? Just really quickly.

Do it. They set a new record. PT6-Sikos said a new record. Four? They clogged the voicemail after a fresh deletion in five days. How many? Remind me again, Chef. How many fit in the voicemail?

300. 300, and then you have to unload it? Yeah. The calls are coming in, boys. We absolutely love it. Again, embracing Papa Team 6 and what that means for our brain. And I'll just give you a small example because I saw this YouTube comment the other night as I was doom scrolling a little bit.

But this comes from Miles Rough. And he left us a little PS paragraph at the bottom that was embracing. Good. Wife is uncomfortable in the beach chairs we packed. Good. So I have to walk back to the car. Good. Find a local store nearby.

Good. And pay an inflated price for a new. beach chair that we may never use again, good. That right there is embracing a moment of I am pissed off and I am irritated, but there's this good in the back of my head. The PT-6ers out there are on my shoulder right now. Hey, Willie Boy, I had a moment last week. Can you hang a shelf? Didn't want to. It paid me to my core. There's a little bit of back and forth with me and the wifie. Ultimately, she was right, as they always are. Wives out there, sweetheart. We love you. We appreciate you. But those are the moments right there, Shirm. Kiddo spits up on you.

Spits up a lot. Do you see the nickname that they tried to give you in the comments? No. They said, oh, Willie One Shelf. Oh. It's fair. You're going to be part of PT6. You got to be willing to get your balls bust. You got to take the hits. You got to take the hits. Willie One Shelf, there he goes, walking down the road again. It's kind of catchy. Yeah. Just on a stroll with the kid, like the little like a, a little like a, post-dinner walk, neighbor steps outside.

Hey, Willie Wenshell, you got to build something tonight. Get your ass back inside old man. Name the movie. Before I break your hip. Oh, Happy Gilmore? Was that Happy Gilmore? Which I know it's Adam Sandler. Yeah, it's Happy Gilmore, I think.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Incredible. Incredible. A Willie Watshiel. We go through it, man. me. It paid me as I was driving home last week thinking about that conversation. I was like, man, I'm really going to, it's not a good look for a Papa Team Sixer. Yeah. I'm already putting the

feels out for trying to get a handyman in here. I told Chef, I think it would be really fun for a for the dad's vlog, a short vlog. We have a handyman come in here. We get all the boys in the office in on it. And we just, you know, get a little bit of a shell. Get a little refresher in. This is a hammered. This is a drill. I saw a comment too. This is a stud fighter. Oh, you found the stud right here. What else you need? Oh, it works. What did the, man, what did he say in the comments?

Rattle off. Yeah. Yeah, let's talk about the comments that being popping up. And also to add to Miles Ruff's comment, he had a great first part. He said, I've never been a commenter on anything. First time commenter, Miles Ruff. But nothing has me more fired up than to join PT6, deploying soon September 20th for the first tour of a PT6 mission. Congratulations, Miles. Thank you for your service, brother.

Currently on the beach with the pod in one ear. My wife is next to me enjoying our final days before our little girl joins us. Couldn't be more excited for fatherhood. And then, of course, the PS note that Will rattled off down below it. Yeah, the good. Dude, the comments are so fun, bro. They're great, dude. And I was just telling the boys before the show started that I've now created the bookmark folders, the archive that what you can save on Instagram and what you can bookmark on X.

I've created a little FTD folder. So that way I can keep up a lot better because I'll see all the comments. And I think to myself, I'll jump on these tomorrow at work because I'm usually scrolling at nighttime. And I had to find a system that actually remind me to get back to someone. Because I, dude, seriously, when you guys share our. stuff that's how everything grows organically like we're going to have the same pt six are showing up every week the buy-in is absolutely incredible and i love there was a comment too that i had shared where it's like he's like i think it was on x where he's like i got the whole family watching if you're passing around

your dad group chats you're just letting the boys know out there if they have a kiddo and you think they're you think they are cut from the same cloth as we are and they might be five degrees removed that sometimes that's all it takes it's like if you're in the if you're in the world somewhere. You might not be at the level. Sometimes we're not up to the standard. I wasn't up to standard when I get nicknamed Willie One show. But if there's potential, if there's a potential PT-6

are out there, we've got to recruit him to the brand. You do that by sharing, by commenting, by doing all the things that you guys are doing, but it's truly, Sherman and I, we geek out. Me, Sherman, Chef, who is also captain of Seaman Team 6. We got our

little group chat, and we're showing our screenshots of the love that you guys show and it it uh it warms our hearts we did we've been texting back and forth i saved this one for the pod i wanted to text y'all so bad this one that you're about to read yeah read it jake frederick does however his wife chloe frederick does jake got on his wife's instagram to dm me he dms me this really nice message i dm back he said his wife uh said he dm'd you back have fun and toss him the phone. And then he told me later in our conversation that she was piss because he was smiling harder, DMing back and forth about PT6 than he's ever smiled in a family photo.

So thank you, Chloe, for being a part of Milk Team 6 and Jake. Congratulations and thank you for DMing me off of your wife's account. That was legendary. You should imagine the grin, the smile of just operating within PT6 and then your wife asks and you're like, what do you over I'm a pop a team six. What the fuck is Papa Team Six? Hey, calm down, sweetheart. You are part of Milk Team Six. What?

What's up with all this energy, babe? What's the deal? I'm excited to be a dad? Yeah. So me. Hey, what a week. I'll say a very emotional week for your boy. Rue went to school for the first time.

So we will be diving into those stories. Reading a couple more comments. I found the studs finder. This one's from Derek Sanchez. Dad tip for Will. Anytime you use a stud finder, and I mean anytime, you always got to make it beep on yourself first. That's the ultimate dad joke for PT6.

PT6 out. That's the ultimate dad joke, PT6 out. And it's got like, you know, 33 likes. All the dads. Yep. Gotta beep it on yourself first. And you got to, the line to go with it is, are we sure this thing works? put it on yourself and it beeps

and you go, yeah, I think it's working. Wife will love that one. Then when she giggles, you say, yeah, you keep playing your cards right tonight. Daddy might mount you. Another one. Another one. If you're a part of Papa Team 6,

that little bit of Seaman Team 6 in you never really leaves. Never leaves. Hey, just challenge hey, challenge for all of Papa Team 6. within this next week, once you listen to this episode, your mission is once you get your wife to laugh at a funny little joke, you just tell her,

keep playing your cards right, Daddy might mount you tonight. Speaking of, somebody comes off the pups list pretty soon. I've been curious, but I don't want to get in your business. You're not my business. I've wanted to ask how everything's going with you. So what we're talking about is Shirm's wife is on the Pup list right now. Now, Pupp List being an NFL term, physically unable to perform list. When you have a child, there's, it's eight weeks?

Eight weeks. Some, you know, you might hear like a six to eight weeks. Yeah, yeah. The Papa Team Sixers kind of push the boundary for that six. As we do. As we always. But wife is on the Pup list for eight weeks. Yeah.

Meaning it's just you yourself in your hand or whatever you're into. Whatever you're in. Yeah. We don't judge. Yeah, we don't judge. Goombay's, we're not judging. Yeah. And you're kind of on a lonely.

feeling because, you know, boys got needs. Yeah. But you've got to swallow that pride, you know, because your wife has to heal. Absolutely. And it's going to align perfectly with Baylor Auburn weekend. So if Baylor catches that W, I know the perfect way to celebrate. So she comes off Pup list in a few weeks, two weeks? Two weeks? Two weeks? How's it been? How's it been going for the pop of team sixers out there? Or the dads that just had kids. They're kind of learning about the whole situation right now, soon to be dads that might not understand that there's this eight-week protocol where ain't really no touchy-touchy-lovy.

I've gone into a place where I no longer feel. I'm almost numb, if that makes sense. It does. Taylor on the other day in the office goes, y'all were, you know, rasping me for something. and he said, oh, yeah, Sherman didn't do that. And I said underneath my bread and you know what else Sherman hasn't done? He goes, what? I leaned in. I go, gum. And he goes, for real?

I go, yeah. Empty the clip. Empty the clip. I have yet to do it. But that's okay. Good. So you've low-key been gooning. Oh, yeah.

In my mind, well, really. I mean, it's been, it's been a minute. Not to be TMI, but like, it's been a minute. Yeah. It's been, it's been a month. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. I personally, like, it's hard to navigate because I'll get a little, you know,

I'll get a little restless. We all do. The Seaman Team Sixer in me gets a little restless. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Goon-Berry in you. Yeah. Thursday Sweet art

Like again I've said this joke before On this show I know I'm busting with the boys But it's like I'll even tell her Just because one ride is broken down Doesn't mean the whole theme park has to be shut down Amen

Like all I need I'm telling you It ain't gonna take long You're acting like I'm asking you to cut your hand off Yeah I just need a little friction and a whisper in my ear and I'm ready to go. I truly am I'm to the point of numbness now. Yeah. Like there was that like four week stretch where I was waking up in the morning. I was like

you know, suns out guns out. Dude, suns out guns out. Like you just kind of feel it. It's weird. And like you kind of you're like, damn, I need it. And then after you get past that four week Mark, now I'm kind of in this like, I've almost, uh, was it all where like you've gone to a higher plane. You transcended. Yeah, you transcended outside of your body. Like literally Dr. Strange like poked me and I came out. And now I'm just like, was it Steveo that was like I didn't come for a year on busing with the boys? Yeah, I think you said that. I think you might have said that. And he was talking about how he like, his brain development was crazy from it. I kind of get it. Yeah.

it's a weird thing to navigate. Because again, it's like your needs, I know for a man, like if you're the husband or the dad, whatever, and your brain, it tells us that we are secondary to what the wife needs. Talking from my own personal experience where it's like I would have these conversations in my head

to where it's like, man, I want to like, in a fun way, express like what my needs. are because I do like you know we're all human beings we all have our things but you feel like you have to suppress or become secondary so it's like trying to find those spaces to talk about even in a fun way and if nothing even happens I'm just using this thing as an example yeah yeah yeah um because even when your wife's pregnant and a lot of the needs and it's like again you you try to make yourself secondary because you want everything to be good with wifey or you want to stay strong. You want to do all these things that you tell yourself to make to do anything you can to make

your wife feel comfortable. Yeah. And in turn, like internally, the domino effect is it could snowball a little bit, a little bit. And you don't know it's snowballing until the snowballs at the bottom of the hill or until you have a moment. Dude, now. And I know we were going off that example, but I'm talking about it in anything. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm talking about you communicating things that you might want out this is outside the bedroom um things that you might be feeling wanting to talk about your long day and there's a part of you that when if your wife's talking about it or you kind of get a cold shoulder because there's a lot of hormonal things happening at the time um if you're like in that i'll just say the pt-sixth mindset that will have that that dads will have is to

shell up or internalize i do that okay you don't want to hear from me yeah and you kind of hold it in you can eat it for a few days but at a certain point it comes out it comes out and you'll lash I don't know where I was going with that but more so talking like all these things are real things that happen yes I'll pick up from that

Jill has gotten very good at knowing when I come home and I get on the couch and I don't say a word and so sorry and I like get horizontal she instantly knows he has something

that he wants to talk about, but he's not talking about it. And so she's done a good job of being able to identify that and kind of be like, how's your day? Did anything happen at the office? Anything fun? Or like anything kind of frustrating? Do you have a stressful day? No, no, really.

Like for the first like couple times that she asked me. Are you subconsciously doing this? Subconsciously. Or are you intentionally like, I'm going to listen. It doesn't be like. Subconsciously, absolutely. there is a part of me because I'm just stewing on whatever I'm stewing on. So I'm not even picking up on the fact that I came in,

kiss my wife, said, hey, and then plopped on the couch and didn't say anything for 30 minutes. And if you know me and you're like, hey, Sherman hasn't said anything in an hour 30 minutes? And I'm not sitting at my computer in editing.

You would be like, Oh, a thousand percent. What's going on with shirt? Yeah. Like he's got quieted. Yeah. So there's that.

And then the other thing. thing I was going to say is the signs are leaning towards some good stuff, dude, some good stuff here in two weeks. Wifey's like, hey, what are you doing so far away from me and bet? Let's cuddle a little bit. God, it's been a minute since I've heard that. Because when she's pregnant, hey, that's too much pressure. Uncomfortable, absolutely. It's like they'll have to move around every couple minutes because they're trying to get comfortable so they can fall asleep. A hundred percent. And so I just naturally like haven't been doing that a whole lot lately. And now I'm hearing the like, are you going to cuddle with me or what? And I'm like, okay.

Oh, you're talking about cuddles. Are we cuddling or we cuddle cuddling? It's like, okay. She had a glass of wine the other night right before bed. I don't want to put too much out there, but that's a good sign for sure. That fires me up for her because it's like, uh, Women go through postpartum, and it's such a transition because I know, like, just listening to my wife, you feel like you lose yourself because you have to care for this little child. Yes. The mother nature that kicks in, it's like everything is about the child. Yes.

Even if they're intentionally trying to be in the partnership, in the marriage and everything else. But it's like, it's like, it sounds like she's starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel a little bit. Yes. Because my wife would just, she just gets so fired up. She'll step on the scale. losing weight, feeling better, feeling like they want to exercise, like getting back to what made them them because it's like you're carrying a kid for, I mean, it's nine months, but really, in reality, it's like 10 months they're carrying a kid.

Yeah. Then you got the postpartum, all the hormones going on. It's pretty much a year's time since they've been their full self and they like lose their identity. They gain another one that they love and appreciate and enjoy. Yes. But when they remember who they were before the kid and they start to feel it a little bit, oh let's have a glass of wine hey you're not coming me you're a little far away it's like

they're coming back to life so that fires me up to year yeah dude it got me juice like last night she was uh she was actually having a shower wine which i won that's a move a shower wine just a glass of wine in the shower in the shower oh we talking taking her taking her time too long shower yeah and then uh i came back in and she was putting on a little uh the tanning lotion she's very excited for Taylor's today. We're filming this on Friday. Taylor's having like a little pool bash. Yeah.

She's very excited for that. And I was like, oh, we're putting on a little tan stuff all of all while. And she was like, yeah, I'm just like, I don't know. I'm just kind of like feeling myself. I'm excited to like, you know, get out of the house. And I'm like getting in front of the mirror and, you know, just kind of doing my thing. And it's fun to see. I love that.

It's exciting. Awesome. P-T-6, Dad's Everywhere. Huge news. It is I, Sherman, coming to you from Will Compton's seat to announce a merch drop today at BWTB.com. That's right, bwtb.com. We have brand new hoodies.

You may have seen this hoodie on some of our thumbnails. It's available now. It says, Dad, across the front, nice comfy pockets on the sleeve, BWTB. It's got a great hood. whether you're going to the game, taking the kiddos to the park, you're going to stay nice and warm this fall. And if you want some office decor,

you want to rep the dads maybe at the office. Penance, for the first time in bus and history, some for the dad's penance guys, great quality. They're nice and thick. They got these nice little rings right here that you can hang it. Some say, old Willie One Shelf would struggle with this.

That dropped today. So click that link, guys. We got to keep it under an hour. Can I read one more comment? Dude, 100% it's a PT-Sixer. It's a PT-Sixer. And it's a Milk Team Sixer. This one comes from Anna Withrow,

Her husband is a big fan of Bustin with the boys and now for the dads. She said as I am subscribed to both as well, My husband is the director of equipment for the Razorbacks. Our first daughter was born during fall camp. She's a week old. Good. She said, as Will knows, nine arguably 10 years in the league, there's zero downtime during season,

needing advice to get through the trenches for the both of us. Love the pod. And she provided a great picture. I put it in our credits of dad in his wee pig suey stuff. And he's just passed out next to baby girl. So is dad a coach? He's the director of equipment for the Razorbacks. Oh, unsung heroes.

Oh, yeah, buddy. And I, you think players and coaches and they put in work equipment managers, bro? Especially them GAs. Oh, yeah. But they're there all hours of the day. And the Razorbacks aren't a two-uniform team. Right. And there's no like, you know, I'd imagine if you're a coach.

And again, I don't know because I haven't been in the coaching world, but witnessing the coaches that I've had, like if there's a moment like kids, like you have a little bit more, not autonomy, but a little bit more control of your schedule. You're still putting in a shitload of hours. Yeah. But if you're an equipment manager, if you're these equipment guys, like there's no, there's no like say or any control, like you were there. There's no asking.

There's no, if you have a great head coach, maybe he'll give you some time off or work with you a little bit. But those equipment dudes are there all day long. Even at high school, I saw that. Getting everything prepped. Yeah. Getting workout clothes prepped. Getting your practice stuff prepped.

Dealing with all the sweat and the airing out the shoes and the shoulder pads and the helmet after practice. Lash, getting all the loops and the laundry. They're doing laundry all night. Getting the laundry, getting that cycle through, setting out their workout close for the next morning, setting out their practice pads and shoes for the next day,

around and around and around. Shout out my cousin George. He was an equipment manager, I think just one year at TCU. Yeah. But yeah, thinking about that now, I'm just like, oh, my. They grind. No wonder he did it for him a year.

And being a full-time student? Yeah. Yeah. Psychotic hours. Would you say that's arguably harder than being a student? an athlete being a student equipment manager yeah why not it's like you you're you're you're putting your energy and time into something some guys who are doing the equipment stuff they might not necessarily wanting to be doing it yeah so i'm assuming in their brain it's like even more it feels even more

like whereas being a student athlete like there's a lot of shit you got to do because you're again you're a student you're going to school you're getting all 12 hours 12 15 credited hours and then you're also trying to pour into something that you could hopefully do do one day as a profession. There's aspects that are fun, but it is a very like physically and mentally hard thing to do. But it's like if you, if you're in a, dude, if you're a student and you're also a full-time worker, like you're grinding your ass off. And also like some people want to do front. They do it because they want an end to front office stuff in sports. There's a lot of people who do it, especially a D1 call, like a college, like all the guys in Tennessee. They do it

because they fucking love the program. Right. So you're putting, yeah, you don't get paid a lot. You're working insane out of buddy who did it. You work insane hours. But, It's just because you love that team and you want to be a part of it in some way. And you're not on the field. And a lot of times you don't get the praise. But it's like that's a huge part of that operation. Yeah. Yeah.

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, 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. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Like, your hardest thing that you're doing is my hardest thing that I'm doing because you're pouring into it. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Even with this stuff, it's like, chef grinds his dick off. He dies.

To edit and do all the things. And not only that, but improve on the skills that he's working on and also try to find new creative ways. He's also trying to think like we are, hey, Will and Sherm like this. We're thinking of all of our, we're doing our day today. You're at home with the kid, like balancing work and life in my world where I'm not behind a computer editing all. day like my heart is still hard but it's like you're sitting here it's like you're uh i don't know it's like i think if you're somebody who grinds every day with work with life and you're trying to learn how to balance it all like you're doing as hard a thing as everybody else is doing

yeah taking out compensation taking out what's more physically grueling you know what i mean because at the end of the day you're just you're constantly trying to challenge yourself to be better and doing that is fucking hard yeah because doing what chef is doing now uh for those like first two weeks like really before we had chef like pumping out this stuff with us yeah i now am in my situation i'm not having to do all that stuff but now i'm in the situation i'm in and to your exact point i'm like man this is hard dude it's not it's not impossible but It does have like its challenges. We kind of talked about that before the episode last week.

You feel like you're so spread thin that you're letting everybody down. Right. But. So you've got to be intentional. Yeah. It's like she was asking for advice with the head equipment manager and they're a one week old? Yeah. A two week old, I guess.

Yeah. It's honestly, it's just make sure you guys are communicating. You guys are able to anticipate each other's schedules. If dad is away because he's grinding his dick off being an equipment manager, and that's the life that is chosen between you two, then it's wife just needs to, dad needs to ask the question, what do you need from me throughout the day?

So he's not guessing. And wife needs to clearly communicate the expectations, the things that she would love and enjoy, with also the empathy of, okay, I might not be able to reach him here. I might not be able to reach him at this point. Dad needs to think the same way. You guys just need to be on the exact same page.

So that way you guys can anticipate hate what each other needs. And then you just got to know that this structure that we're putting together were the pain points. When is it going to be hard? And life is just going to be hard. And knowing the busy season. Right.

Like being great by her already identifying. I mean, obviously football season is the busy season for me. But she's like, hey, this is going to be hard for both of us. She did use us. Like, what is some advice for us? Yeah. And also he's the- Because dad has to know that when he's working and thinking

in his brain because here's what here's what dads or males will do especially coming from the generations before us is we uh we justify us working we wanted to put food on the table we want to be the protector the provider all these things to provide security at home so then when a dust up happens at home verbally it's like dad's defending what he does all day long mom's defending what she does it's it's like no you got to get that shit out of the equation it's you guys got to know that you're pouring in an insane amount of value for the family. As long as you two are on the same page, that is what matters. Dad has to know, hey, I'm at work. Sweetheart, you got to tell me what you need for me. That also has to be super curious and intentional. Hey, what do you, what do you need?

Yes. As well. So it all goes both ways, bro. It's not about staying strong for each other. It's about just staying fucking connected. Curious is a great word. And that's a great bit of advice. That little text that I don't remember every single day to sin, but when I do send to Jill of, hey, I'm thinking about lunch. Have you eaten yet? Blah, blah, blah. No, and I'm starving.

I would love to get lunch. Right. Just that like, hey, I'm thinking about you. I'm thinking about your needs. Because she's nap trapped at home with little Scarlet. 1,000% and then if I say, hey, could you just respond? It's like, yo, I'm at work. I'm doing this.

I'm doing that. No, dad. You also got to be empathizing and being conscious what mom's going through at home. Because think about any dad who spent a weekend or days were there with the kiddo by themselves. It's like, you know, if you're talking to your wife, wondering what's going on and nobody's like checking in or tapping into you.

It's just like, oh, people think I'm just watching the kiddos. Like, I just got some easy work because I'm just chilling at home with the kids. Like, no, those parents that have kids know that shit is a grind. Yeah. And mom's not getting out of the house, especially if you got a young one. You got a young one in those first few months. Like, you're at home most of the time. Two weeks, I mean, that is every three hours on the dot.

On the dot. That little girl or boy is going to be hungry and it's going to let you. Yeah. Milking, pumping. Even if you're not doing that, the hormone, everything that's going on, your entire mind is around the life of this little being at all times. And there's no deviating because you are the vessel that this kid comes from. Yes.

You can't just leave the kid on his own at all. Like they need constant nurturing and attention. You hope you get a great amount of three hours whenever you have those three hour breaks. But you're tied to having to do it. And if you do lay them down and they're snuggle me and they do fall asleep, you're like, oh my God. Yeah. Otherwise, it's only right there on mom or right there on dad that they'll even get sleep.

Yeah. And the dads that do work grueling hours that when you do come home, you should in your mind, you just got to think when that garage door opens up, all right, I'm about to go in. Good. How can I take whatever load is going on from my wife? Yeah. So she knows I can trust this dude to kind of operate on himself, to operate by itself. Because even when mom hangs the baby over, it's like they know everything they want to do in their brain and they're trying to trust that you can do the same. So they can actually remove themselves and just go do whatever they need to do. Do you want to go do laundry? You want to go take a walk. You want to go get a coffee. You want to go do X, Y, and Z. Have the freedom knowing dad's back home. He's a PT-6er. I don't have to worry about it. That would be to the director of equipment of Arkansas, that would be my biggest piece of advice is no when you get home,

because that's so true. Jill has her checklist because she loves keeping a tidy house, dude. That is her love. Charles the same way. She wants a happy. Not as much mine, but that's strong. Not as much mine at all. But Jill wants a happy home.

She wants a home that smells good, looks good. Counters are cleaned off. Yes. Candles are lit. And so just know, director of equipment, I don't know his name, I know his wife's name, but when you come home, your wife probably has that checklist in her head, exactly like you said. And when you take baby, that frees her to then all this stuff that's been sitting on her head all day that she couldn't do because she was trying to hold baby. Now she has the freedom to go do it. The amount of pressure that is going to come off of her when you allow her to operate in what she wants to get done, dude.

is going to be great for both of you guys. Not only her, but you as well. Because then you're going to be able to really sit there and enjoy the moment together once she has knocked out her list. And if you have to ask a question, okay, when do I do this or what do I do here? Just simply, this is a little data hack,

switch the what or when, why, where, whatever with, remind me. Hey, remind me the time, remind me the time she last eight because you should know the every three hour mark if you have a newborn. Yeah, yeah. Remind me the last time she ate versus, hey, when does she need to eat again? Or, hey, remind me what she had for lunch. Hey, before I go check the fridge, remind me what we have in there for potential dinner.

So that way, it's just like they're reminding it's not, hey, what do I need to do? And they're just thinking, man, I wish you knew just a little bit more. Dude, that's all I'm talking about. Hey, this is good. this little back and forth I like to envision Papa Team 6 are sitting at the TV oh don't forget this one

and somebody says it's like yes yes yes that too you just went like four for four on stuff that because I mean Scarlett is six weeks but she's not that far ahead of a two week old again we're not experts we're not experts but everything that you're hitting on I'm like God I wish I knew that at the beginning

because it's so true and Jill and I have had those conversations of like, if you're at home and Will Compton texts of you at 9 p.m., do you know how fast you would reply to that text? Because it's work. It's work. This might be important. That's my boss. Yeah, bro. Like, I got to answer that, but I'm on home time. And gentlemen, gentlemen, these conversations come about, like what this situation or hypothetical that Sherm's talking about. these conversations come up when it's getting toward the breaking point. Yes.

Because as men, we don't know until it's being said to us. And then we're just thinking, if you had just told me, but it's like, listen, this is just some game to be aware of. So you don't get to when you ask too many what, when do I do this, how do I do this? Because in time, in a couple weeks time, when it gets to the breaking point, you guys are having a big conversation, that's when those things are coming up. It's like, sweetheart, when you ask me, what do I do this? When do I do that? And your wife's kind of giving you a talking to a little bit. That's when it's starting to click a little bit in your mind that she's putting you in her shoes.

But now it's gotten so far to where your guard might be up and you might be a little defensive to where you don't want to handle the conversation that way. These are things to just be aware of before they happen. And be willing to have an open mind that when Jill does bring up the great point of if Will did texting at 9 o'clock. Because that's a good one. About something important. I would want to reply very quickly because I want to show Will I'm on top of it I care I'm a good employee I'm not lazy his time is important to me he took the time to text him I'll text them back and she goes flip that you're at work I text you something important and I you know not that she's one

your wife's texting you not your boss yeah is your marriage important is getting back to the family important are you having the same urgency that tells her I got it. I'm crazy. I care. Yeah. Yes. And she's not like, I want to text back in five minutes.

She knows I'm busy. Yeah. But if I did ghost her like all day, she would feel some type of way. Right. Just like you would. If you texted me something important and I ghosted you for like 12, 18 hours, like you kind of be like, yo, sure. Like knowing you, you'd probably just like emphasize it.

Yeah. You're spot on. Hey, I'm here. you're spot on because it'll be the same thing like Charles text me something I have don't respond until I get home she's like I texted you yeah she's like if this would have been so and so that's a great point great question by the wife yeah great yeah yeah yeah great question by the wife I have um I have I listen I know we got to keep it under an hour so I have three more little quick comments that I can rattle off go ahead and then we can get into the to the meat

potatoes of the episode cheers cheers Hey, cheers. Cheers. Shout out Anna. Shout out Anna. This one's from Kevin Jack, 7753. Baby Boy Do in four weeks. I needed this episode for football talk.

Chin strap on, about to head into the trenches. Let's go, boys. Nick, C96, got my girl dad hat on at the beach with my three-year-old. Rock PT6 shirt last night. We up. Sled dog out. Sled dog. Noah Earl Jackson.

P.T.6 just got my shirt. I'll be tagging the boys in two weeks when my baby girl gets. here. Guys, if you want to support the boys, you want to rock Papa Team Six merch or for the dad's merch. BWTB.com. That is where you get the merch. That's how you can tag us. That is how you can share. That is how you can wear the merch proud, knowing that you're a PT-6er. And what do you have on top of your head right there, Will?

A hat. Sherman, why do you ask? I believe one of our new hats. Yes. The black and white for the dad's hat. A little patch up top. This is a newer hat. We have them in this color. They've been sitting in that color. We have them also in the black and white. And you were saying, I'm wearing a visor right now. We also have a same visor over here with different colors scheme. So funny, the visors. On the inside, they got the little teddy bears standing up. Oh, no. And the little for the dad's patch on the inside too. I love that. So any PT6 sickos that like, you know. You're a visor guy. I'm a huge visor guy. Like me, I don't think

I'd be wearing in that. I'd wear it for Papa Team 6. I'd wait for Papa T6. That's not my style. And I put the feelers out there. G our head of merch was like, hey, put it, put a tweet out. Just see. And you had enough sickos that wanted a few. There were some sickos, dude.

There was some sick. I think we have like nine or 10 like definite like, yo, that's gas. But one sicko filmed his desk. He had like nine golf visors. He was like, I added to the collection. But this exact same. logo we will also be putting on a hat. Chef off camera is actually wearing said hat. We want to tease that at a later time.

Yep. We want to tease it at a later time. But Chef looks good. It's a great hat. Chef looks good. And it's a great hat for Seaman Team Sixers. Just take a photo of Chef right now so that way you can just shoot him the shoot him the photo to put in during the episode. And this hat is badass. This one is one that maybe you're not a father yet and you just, you're about the brand,

but it's got the little, you guys see the photo, the little bear with the, with the whiskey, with the cigar in his mouth. This exact emblem. Yeah, that exact emblem that Sherm's wearing. We'll tease it. We're going to do a different color than the one I'm wearing right now. I do like that color. We can also do this color, but we have.

Well, as long as I can just have that one off your head. Oh, yeah. I'll just fuck with you. Do you like the green? really quick. I like the green. I'm like, I love the colors, like fall colors, earthy colors. Yeah. I like the green, too. Can we do the green and the other two colors that you were teasing? I think this hat's

good enough to where we can do a couple different colors. White's going to be badass. The white and the black is for sure going to be badass and it's more universal. Yeah. Just a couple more so the social media. I know every week we talk about YouTube comments, but again, just to not leave out the social media people out there. Yep. Nick Giles, number one, shout out you being a new father, brother. Nick Giles, he said, And I shared this comment. Thanks Will the pot has been amazing to listen to.

The whole family listens now. And thank you for the honesty about situations you wish you handled better. I know it makes all of us dads feel normalized when we do the same. Love and appreciate you, boys. And then another one from Wes. W underscore Murray 21. You saw the X-ray? Yes.

Broke my toe on night duty tripping over my wife's shoes. Good. Yes. And see, that's one. Again, I used a bookmark because I hadn't engaged with it yet. so he's probably wondering like damn the boy see this you probably you do a great job responding to everybody do i d-emned them

and he said best part was he said wife told me to stop faking it and get our daughter to sleep so in true pt6 fashion yes i got her back to sleep taped my toe uh to the other one and then got some sleep have to go back next week or so to get a pin put in oh my gosh let's go west yeah let's go i love that the x-ray

this is Chef Jack, captain of Seaman Team 6. I wear that honor proudly. This is Forrest Dobbs 1931, Cap Jack. Man, I think I might have been one of the people you grabbed

after Austin P. LMAO season ticket holder since 2019. So this is the throwback to last week where I talked about probably one of my most embarrassing moments is a Tennessee volunteer fan. Yeah. Where we were leaving Neeland Stadium

and I was coming to grips that Joe Milton was not a Heism hopeful and that we might be regressing from the year prior with Henning Hooker, where we had an awesome offense. Tell everybody what you were telling me that your girlfriend was how she was breaking it down. So I called my wonderful girlfriend, Alex,

after, who is with me. Still with you. Still with me. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Thank you, Alex. basically I was like well I told the story and I kind of said you know I kind of the gist of what we said on the episode she goes baby it was way fucking worse than that she was like you were grabbing 70 year old men and screaming what the fuck are we doing as I was leaving kneeling and yeah so for us I want to I want to give you a sincere apology I'm a passionate that is unacceptable I I love the fact too that Forrest is listening to For the Dads and he's like, I think, he's going,

that's some fucking kid that grabbed my ass. I think I might. Forrest, it's unmistakable if it was me because you couldn't miss me if you tried. It was like, I think we left like a couple minutes in the fourth quarter left. It was, you know, awesome. The beginning of the year, we're trying to walk back. But yeah, I apologize. I think what we should do.

Photo to photo too. If you're up for it, I'll reach out to you. That's the general of Seaman Team 6 right there. I don't want to air dirty laundry and I know that we're trying to keep it under an hour, but do you want to share that story that you remembered about said girlfriend that you are matching each other's energy? Yeah. So also to my Alex's credit, she told me about a story.

Yeah, shout out Alex. We love Alex. Love you, Alex. Because she goes, well, don't forget that I've had my moments too, because I was like, that's so embarrassing. She, um, we last year I brought her, we came back to Nashville for Tennessee. He was playing in Arkansas. And, uh, that's the same weekend Vanderbilt was playing Alabama and Vandy upset Alabama. And we were at the tavern in Midtown, eating.

We could hear the stadium. And so we watched the fourth quarter in the Red Door Saloon in Midtown, shout out. And, uh, Vandy won. And I'm not one to always root on Vandy. Shout out Cade McConnell. shout out the boy Kay McConnell. We love a history brother now. But we were pumped because, you know, Bantle lost.

I was like, oh, this is so great. We're going to kick the shit out of Arkansas and Alabama just lost. And then we lost to Arkansas. And we're sitting in that bar. That's a Vandy bar. It's a Vandy student bar. And people are coming back and they're starting to filter in and they're hammered. And people are starting to say stuff to us because we're in all

orange. And finally, this dude, I forgot what the exact words were, came up and said some, and my girlfriend looked over and said, you better shut the fuck up before I kick your fucking ass and I in that moment the pride built up inside me and I but also

I'm going oh shit now I call an Uber and we got I'm like hey baby we gotta go you know getting out of there and she we're both passionate fans so I wish they could have seen his face I know! He said that he like

I don't know if an F bomb was in there I don't want to speak for her but of course she's got I'm gonna hear that that's quote graphic shut the fuck up before I beat your ass from lovely woman crack a cold one survival kid dad hag hot one

line lesson. My cracker cold one is simply going to be Rue going to school. Very emotional week for your boy this week. Back to school. Back to school. That's why we have these school supplies here. A little bit of coffee. Not to shout out Perin, but no free shout-outs to Perren. Got a nice little coconut, cloud Americano that I enjoy and stood in line for a pretty long time.

Shout out chef on the decor. The decor chef. The decor chef, we got the back-to-school supplies, but it was a back-to-school. It was first time to school week for your boy. Yeah. And Roo went to school on, um, Wednesday and dropping her off. And it's a very, uh, weirdly happy, sad stage. Yeah. Because, and there was also, just to give you guys some more context on it being like an emotional week. My, the day she went to school for the first time was also, it would have been my mom's 61st birthday. You're kidding. Yeah. Yeah. So had all the feels going on. What a day. Was fired up because Rue was so excited to go to school.

And dude, it's like we're sitting there prefacing. She goes to, um, she goes to like, uh, where it's like there's three to five year olds. So she's in this, she's in this classroom. It's kind of like a pre-k type primary school. And prepping her to go to school because the teachers and stuff are telling us that we can't get out of the car to like hug or kiss or tell her goodbye because you got to keep the line going. I'm not. now in the school lines and experiencing that for the first time. But we can't get out of the car. So two days prior, we're running her through. Dad has running her through on a very, like, calm level. I don't want it to come off like sad. Like, hey, when we go there, you won't be able to hug mom and dad at. I'm more just telling her, hey, now when we go to school, here's how it's going to go down.

We're going to give you hugs and kisses before we get in the car. Yeah. And then whenever we arrive, we'll give you three squeezes. I love you and the back before you get out. Yeah. before you get jack the door almost slam coming to here give you one two three squeezes before you get out teacher is going to get you um buckle you can get you out and then when she pulls you out we'll have the windows down and you'll just do hug kiss hug hug kiss and then you know say bye yeah and we're

prefacing her for that for like a couple days just to get her ready because we don't know if she's going to cry we don't know if she's going to be sad you know we don't know if we're going to be sad and we pull up dude and she's, she's excited. And then when the teacher opens the door, you can tell her shyness and nerves are kind of kicking them a little bit. Like as she's getting unbuckled, the teacher's trying to engage with her. Yeah, we're giving her to the squeezes. Rue gets out and the teacher says, like, we're going to go on a little walk today.

Or the kids don't know it, but we're going to get to do X, Y, and Z today. And Rue kind of lights up, starts talking to her. Rue gets out of the car and's like, bye, mama, dad, da. Hug. Hug. Go be great today. And then ends up walking, bro. And I'm watching her walk down the sidewalk going into school.

and water fills my eyes because it's just like, I don't know, like in my brain, it's like now that she starts the chapter of school, even though it's not like real, it's not like technically real school. Like they're going to play a lot. They do all these different things. But it's like this chapter, this phase goes until the end of high school, the end of college. Yes, dude.

Yeah. Now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. for the rest of time. And just watching her handle herself, shy, a little reserved but confident once she got out and going to class.

Because we start rolling off. And then we end up breaking, kind of like looking back, because we hear a kid screaming. I thought it was rude for a second. You hear a kid screaming, the teachers I got them, like, kind of halfway out of the car. They're like hanging on. Hang it, no. And these are probably moments for parents that you're just like, you hope that they handle it a little well. You're also sad because it's like, is she going to feel alone when she's in there?

Is she going to end up telling the teacher like, I miss mom and dad, dad. And you just think of them being alone, afraid, not knowing what to do. Like these are the internal battles. I feel like the parents deal with. And you think of these situations, even though it's like not reality, then you flip like, oh, they're going to crush. They're going to do this and that. And then we get home, Charles was sobbing in the car.

I'm like, you all right, sweetheart, give her hug. I'm like, don't worry. I have some tears in my eyes too. She looks over. I got water. filling the eyes. And it's just, it's just cool because you're excited, but you're all so sad because they're just growing up. Yeah. And, uh, Rousseau, mom teared up before she got out of the car. She why you sad, mama? And I'm like, I'm like, hey, sweetheart, we got it. We got to be hype.

We don't want to, we don't want her to be nervous at all. And I'm like, hey, sweetheart, you know every pizza Friday when we drive and go get pizza and come back. And I said a couple times that makes me happy and sad that you're growing up. And she, when we're in the car, she will just say, I'll out loud, dad, that you sad. I'm like, why would I be said. She's like, because I'm growing up. I'm like, yeah, you know, that is both happy and sad because you're growing up, but I want you to stay my little girl forever. So I'm going back to her and just like, oh, mama's sad, but she's also really happy because this is like, you're going to school, so you're just growing up, you're becoming such a big girl and all this stuff, but

Charles sobbing a little bit, I'm crying a little bit, and you just kind of have that moment. You drive home. We got Scotty or nine-month-old in the car seat. We take her out and go inside and I'm getting ready to go to the shop and I'm like, well, I guess I'll, uh, I'll go on to work. It's, it's like eerily quiet. Yeah. Because Rue's just, you know, you got a little toddler, like they're on 10 the whole time. They want to play. They want you to watch them. They want your attention. They want all these things. Now it's just Scotty kind of crawling around on the carpet and you're kind of just sitting there. Well, Roo's a confident toddler too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Roos is a confident toddler. And you're, um, she commands the space. Yeah. But it's just,

it's weirdly quiet. It's like, man, this is, uh, this is a this is a, this is a, this is a, how it goes. And then I think in my brain, this is how you start thinking about having another kid to fill the space. You know what I mean? Yes, I know. I don't know how to explain it, but it was a very, it was an emotional week for your boy. And I just thought it was really cool that there was like coincidentally, it was also my mom. It would have been my mom's 61st birthday. And your mom was a teacher, correct? My mom was a teacher. That's even more. When you first said that, I was like, that's even more just the universe, man. Yeah. That's awesome. My mom was a teacher. My mom was a teacher. and then was a principal for a Catholic school, St. Rose in the Soto.

Yeah. My mom was a beast, dude. You know, I obviously always get sad thinking about her. But she was awesome. She would have been so obsessed with Rue. I want to say this to you because I love you. She'd be really proud of you. Don't you.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Come on now. I was just doing a good job talking about her being a beast. I don't want these, you know, if you've watched Bustin with the boys, you know how emotional it makes me talking about my mom. But I feel the same. I feel the exact same sentiment, bro. I do. Let's go, dude.

I was crying last night. I was looking at. I kind of see some water in your eyes right now. Yeah, dude, because I just, you're a good guy. You're a good guy. I love you, bro. Yeah, I was looking at pictures of Scarlett last night and I started crying. She's so much bigger.

I'm like, dude. Dude, what the hell? I know, man. I was looking at pictures of her in her first week, and she's like this little thing. And now she's got cheeks and like a double chin. I'm like, what happened? Like you said, the crying, dude, the crying's totally different.

She was, everything that you keep on saying on this podcast keeps... Mike. Sorry, everything that you keep on saying on this podcast keeps coming true. Of just those cries in the first week are way up here. and now it's like, eh. And I'm just like, oh my gosh, she's like growing so fast. It's crazy, dude.

Yeah. I don't think it stops either. My dad was emotional last weekend. I don't want to air out old John, but I just came back. I love hearing that. Yeah. And I don't know what the context is.

So again, if you don't want to air out, John, that's fine. But I personally, I love it because there will be a lot of times where I talk on, I speak on things, where there's some things I wish looking back that I want to be better than what my dad was. And we always have long conversations now. And when I did the retirement podcast and he did a little video at the end,

he's like talking through stuff and things that kind of make it emotional. But I love the masculine energy that feels their emotions and thinks about things that they wish they would have done differently. But they feel it so much that your guys' connection and your relationship is it gets even better

as you get older. 100%. And they wish they would have been more intentional, like, when you're younger, because it was a different era back then. Yeah. But now it's like, it just, it gets better. Yeah, he's awesome. And he's a good, like, he's not, he won't mind me talking about it because he's proud.

I'll quickly, he, I came back home for the summer. Parents are letting me stay with him, like, kind of get on my feet. And Grant, my little brother, he's in college. And my dad was just, they, Grant went back to school. And my dad was like, he didn't, they never thought that there would be a time again after grant left that we would all be home for an extended period all under one roof and he was just like one of the things where you don't it's a it was a good time and he was just like coming to terms with that's probably the last time that will ever happen for real and he was just really glad that we

had that time for the summer all together and he was getting choked up over the phone while he was moving my little brother in but he's you know that's that fires me up yeah man he's a beast You guys got a new. Yes. A little shout out to you being a work dad as well as a dad at home. This guy came in this morning on a Friday. We're wishing each other happy Friday. And he said, I got my first big boy check this week.

First big boy check. He said, and man, it feels good. Let's go, man. I'm not even his boss per se. And I was just fired up, dude. Just seeing that smile and just like, oh, that's awesome. Yeah. Smell the flowers, man.

Yeah, 100%. Smell the flowers. I love that convoy that you had with your dad too, and I love that he broke down a little bit. We need more breaking down in fatherhood. My crack a cold one, I'll make this super quick. Auburn trip went great. Sherman, did she wear the bow?

Yeah, she wore the bow. Did you take any pictures? Just you and Scarlett. I maybe took a picture with Scarlet so that if Baylor beat Bailer beats, Auburn, we're right there in front of Jordan Hare, and I said, good thing my girls got her Auburn stuff on with her daddy from Baylor. Baylor's daddy. Nice thinking, nice spin zone. And I'll work the caption. I'll work the caption. But I'm

posing there with her, we're in front of Jordan. Put the Auburn logo on her, Baylor on you. Oh, yeah. Scarlett took her first L today. Scarlett took her first life L took the first out Oh I I already sent it to y'all The her screaming and the Auburn dress Yeah

That was phenomenal It's all you needed She hated the Auburn dress And she legit had a blow out After the graduation ceremony To where I just I was so happy I go Honey I think this calls for an outfit change

Through that thing Into those little trash bags That you carry around Was so quick to throw that thing away And I love, too, that your mindset as a father was she's screaming because she hates the Auburn dress. And she had a blowout because she wanted an outfit change. She wanted an outfit change. Good.

Yeah, good. It really was a good. I was so proud. Oh, you shouldn't push it out. Let it run down your leg. Get it all over your clothes. Good. I, uh, but yeah, the whole crack, the whole crack of cold one.

I don't know why I'm leaning back so much today. Uh, was just being around family. We have a ton of family and. Fort Worth. Jill has 26 first cousins. I have 16 first cousins. It's crazy. 16. 16. I thought I had a big family. Jill's got 26. It's nuts. And so we here in Nashville, we're just not around that family. And we got to be around a lot of them in Auburn. And man, it was so much fun just like how much we were passing around Scarlet. And just Scarlet's being held by everybody. Yeah. It felt like a vacation.

to some extent because it's like we're getting to be around Scarlet and like live life and do normal things, but I'm literally like in a restaurant with a cup like in my hand. I'm like, oh my God, I'm not holding Scarlet. I'm looking over at Jill. She's eating her dinner. I was like, this is crazy. I look across the table and Aunt Linda's bouncing Scarlet and oh, do, do, do, do. And Scarlet's, you know, just sitting there loving it. I was like, oh, man, I miss family. But These moments are great. Yeah. So that's a good.

That's another separate crack of cold one is just family and family members helping out to where both you and the wife aren't holding the baby. Yeah. Enjoying the moment. Yes. Seeing your family enjoy the moment. Yeah. Like, oh, can I hold? Absolutely.

I go, Linda, do you want, you want to give her back? She goes, never. I said that. You go, girl. I'll be holding. We're at the 4th of July. I'd be holding Scotty. I'd kind of like I'd find Caitlin.

And I'd just look at Cal, I'd say, hey, Caitlin, I said, she. Pat Scottie off. Who's Caitlin to you? Caitlin is my brother Cody's girlfriend. Okay, okay. Shout out Katie. Yeah, shout out Caitlin.

Shout out Caitlin. Or just anybody like, yeah, I haven't seen you hold of you. She looks pretty cute. Yeah. She's kind of fun. Here you go. I'm going to go get a beer. Shout out Bud Light.

Shout out Bud Light. Shout out Bud Light. Shout out Bob Light. Shout out Papa Team. Six. Dad loss. Not cleaning up the area and putting clothes in the laundry. So I had a moment the other night.

Or Scotty, she's, listen, people understand, are starting to understand the lure of Scott Zilla a little bit. I posted a couple videos on my Instagram. She's all over the place. Kid, hey, hey, Scotty, no. And she'll look at me and kind of give me at this little, you know, this little evil grin where you just know she's going to be trouble one day. Yeah.

And she, like, looks over and grins and then, like, army crawls faster. And that little toes just dig it. That little toe, buddy, we got to put socks on her because she's got blisters on her. She's got blisters like on her feet from how she just repetition after rep. She's digging into the, you keep on pulling her back. And she's like, all right, good. Yeah, loves that plant just over and over.

She's crawling back to the plant. Anytime I, listen, it's hard to beat somebody that refuses to quit. Yeah. You realize she's not going to quit. You got to pick her up and move her somewhere else. But anyway, so the other night, I'm changing her into her pajamas. And Scotty, again, she's a mover.

I'm talking head neck bridge, head bridge. She's rolling over to the side. And I got her. I'm like, Scotty, no to where I got to like hold her down and hold her down to where she starts getting a little upset. Like you are not moving. Then the minute I grabbed the leg in to try and hurry up and wipe and change her diaper, she's moving to the point to where I'm wiping her and say, let's say I'm holding

her like this. I'm wiping her and she's turning that way to where I'm holding her like this to where she's neck bridging up so much to where I got to keep going with her. She's just upside down as I'm wiping her, trying to get to where she would kind of back roll over onto her stomach is how much she's bridging. Yes. To I have to, once I'm done wiping her,

I have to pick her up and grab her neck to where I can lay her back down on her back. So she's almost doing a full scorpion. Yes, a full scorpion. She's a little psycho, bro. And that's like the changing routine with her a little bit. She had a great one this morning where she kind of laid there. I was just encouraging her. That's how we do.

That is how we change a diaper kid. That is how we do it. That's clinical. Yeah, that's clinic tape. That's coaching tape right there. When I cut up some pieces together, that's going to be part of the film. When I'm showing an eight month old, how diaper changes go. Yeah.

One day when I'm a coach and I'm going over the A gap, your clips is going to cut in. This is how you keep a stand. This is how you stay poised, stay calm. The dirty diaper. And let the game come to you. Dirty diaper just shoots up on screen, the full room of football players. Oh. Yeah.

But anytime I take her clothes off, I throw them on just her little, her little sofa. Yes. Throw them on her little sofa. Because, you know, I'm a guy. I'm thinking maybe we'll wear this again tomorrow. Yeah, yeah. Like we do when we take her clothes off, put it a little pile by the end of the side of the bed. Might wear these socks.

Might wear these shorts. Might wear this shirt again tomorrow or sometime this week. Yeah. So I tossed him on the sofa. Scotty was, you know, in Scott Zillam mode. So I left the diaper on like I, you know, I strapped it up. but left it. I didn't put it in the trash can. Yep.

Clothes on the sofa. I go to sit down, get her in her sleep sack. She's having milk. We're having a good time. Charo and Roo come in. Because Rue always wants to give Scotty a hug and a kiss good night. Yeah. And here's where the loss comes in. Obviously, I haven't set it up. I didn't clean up my mess. Yeah.

I got the laundry on the sofa. I got the diaper on the thing. And Charles's like, I see you forgot to put the diaper in the pail again. it's two feet away, two feet away. You know we got a diaper pail, right? Yeah, sweet. I know I'm kind of chuckling. I'm like, ah, gosh, she was in Scotzilla mode. And she's like, it's just right here.

Did you put the butt bone owner? Yeah, I'll put the butt bone on her. Well, let's get you just a reminder. The diaper pail, it's right there. Yeah, yeah. Reach over. It's right there. And Rue's little candy ass.

She joined team mom. She joined team mom because Central goes, I see you, uh, your favorite thing to do. Leave Scotty's clothes on the sofa. I don't know if you're going to wear him and get tomorrow, sweetheart. And then Scottie, or Rue's little candy ass, Dad Day, you got to put Scottie's laundry

away. Walks walks in the closet. Get Scotty's laundry, goes in the closet, puts it in the hamper. And then Rue goes, Dad, Dad, the hamper is in the closet. Like, I know, sweetheart, Rue grabs the hamper and slides it out of the closet and says,

This is the hamper right here, Daddy. You got to put the laundry in the hamper. I'm thinking, hey, can you guys let Scotty have her milk and go to sleep? I don't need both of you up my ass right now. Yeah, guess who bought that hamper? Guess who knows where it is because he bought it and put it there? Yeah. But Rue was on my ass.

You know, Charles joking with me. She's on my ass. And then Rue's over here putting on a claim. Hey, dad, here's the hamper. You got to put it in the hamper. I got you. And this is why we talk about it. This is not a myth.

We are not conspiracy theorists. A man can become outnumbered. It's a real thing. It's a real thing. Why is Will's so quiet at the party? They won't ask that, though. They won't be asking that. What happened?

You used to have... Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called... Hey, Jonas.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're out 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. 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.

Shout out Jill. Love you, Jill. Love you, Jill. She put up with Scarlett, like, having this poop up in her for probably like 18 straight

hours of just like trying to figure it out, burping her, you know, all the stuff, doing the legs, pushing it in. out. I did the evening walk. We thought her being vertical and kind of moving and stuff that that would help. Nothing was helping. This morning, I finally get her for her seven o'clock feed. And I put that bottle in, dude. And oh my God, seven of them. Seven of them. Just, it's like a subwoofer. I don't know how to describe it other than your hands on a subwoofer. Yeah.

Papa Team 6 took the shot. We took the shot. Okay, back to the voicemail. We have a fun voicemail. We're just doing one this week. We've got a tight deadline. We're keeping it under an hour. Here we go. What's up, boys? It's Nate. I got to quick shout out to my

young brother Tom for putting me on busking with the boys. I couldn't have been happier to get another podcast in the rotation, especially now that it's for the dad. A new Papa Team 6 recruits. I don't know if this is a crack and cold one. Maybe a new category called Dad Collecting.

But as a member of P.E.T. 6, I got a four and a six-year-old. I've been recommissioned out to the suburbs. You know, getting a little long in the tooth. And, you know, I don't feel like I've been put out to pasture, but maybe given a new opportunity. It's a new old-fashioned long-tube. There's nothing like it. You've got to embrace it. And it's really not as much of a responsibility as an opportunity.

Opportunity to cultivate and present what you should. can do to your neighbors. And so last week, I'm up against the clock, last few hours of the week where my man is still on the clock, I'm home early, got to get the lawn touch, 99 fucking degrees outside. I'm so like a horn church.

What do I get as a tap on the shoulder from my Boy Scout neighbor across the street? What does he want? He wants me to put a shirt on. It's inappropriate for me to cut the grass of my shirt on. You know, you don't mean to flex on him, too. hard, but we don't all look great in our 50s, but in our 30s, I'm still looking good, fellas.

And I'm not afraid to show it off a little bit. Get the dance left going. So you know what I did? I had to just kindly, hey, appreciate the consideration. Keep it moving. What's he do? Those have complained to my wife. Good.

Complicated his wife. Even better. But you just can't keep them down. We're here to build a community, not tear each other down. So get out there, flex the muscles, show them your most muscular, and don't be afraid to pop the tarp off every once in a while. Keep it up. Love hearing it every week.

Can't wait to hear him another one. Oh, God, I love that. He said Nate from Papa Team 6. I thought he said Smitty. Smitty. I love me. He said Smitty. Is it Nate?

Let's write it back. Hold on. What's up, boys? It's Nate. Nate? Nate. It's Nate. Nate.

It's Nate. You got the, Sheriff's got the computer over there. So my, you know. Hey, you know my name. I don't know if I'm going to need a hearing.

You know my hearing. Yeah. Oh, I love that. That's a great example of a get back inside, old man. Break your hip. Yeah.

Put a shirt on what? On this? On this? Oh, you don't like what you see, old man? Why don't you come say it to my face? Oh, fuck off, Scott. What the fuck?

What'd you say, Scott? You need me to piss on your lawn? I'll piss on it after I'm done cut. How about that, Scott? Sounds like you haven't mounted your wife in a while, Scott. The fact that he told him to keep pushing and then Scott or whatever neighbor went to his wife to then go complain. Did you hear that part of the call? Yeah.

So he told he had the shirt off. Yeah. Said it's inappropriate. Told him to keep pushing. Like, guy. Keep mowing the lawn. No, no. Guy that had his shirt off, Nate, told Scott the neighbor, hey, keep pushing.

Scott, thanks for the tip, but keep pushing. Kept his shirt off. Finished the lawn. So Scott went to his wife to tell on him? Yes. We got a tattletail on our hands. Dude, what in the world? And I love that he kept it positive

He's like hey we're just trying to build a community Not holding it against the neighbor Not holding it against the neighbor But I'm gonna keep on mowing the lawn with my shirt off When it's 99 degrees, thank you very much And somebody that's from Texas And you're trying to get the sun You're trying to get a little tan going

You don't want the farmer's tans are fun But it's like he's trying to get some color to him Yes, dude A rent house that we had in Texas That we I did the own mowing for on those summer days, it is like almost unbearable. It is almost unbearable, especially when it's getting up to like 102, 103, which happens. Bro, Nate should next time you mows the lawn, do the exact same thing, put some booby tassels on.

Yes. And leave Scott a note that says, go tell my wife about this one. Or if he wants him to wear a shirt, just wear something ridiculous. You know what I mean? Like as he's mowing the lawn. Yeah, you have to. Maybe one of these visors. Shirt off with one of these visors.

Or just wears a shirt and cuts everything like all the way up to where it's like, you know, flowing in the wind everywhere. Get his PT6 shirt and just crop top it? Yeah, go PT6. Cut it up to the sternum. So you still show off the abs. Just short shorts. Just give him the biggest thumbs up when he pulls into his drive away. So some badass sunglasses, crop top up to the sternum, really short.

cut off jean shorts or something so you can get the quads out. Maybe that busing bucket hat on. Yeah. I got a shirt. And you got to keep the mower going and yell over the mower. That's the biggest power move ever.

Somebody trying to talk to you and you just keep on ripping on whatever you're tooling. Or write him a little note, put it in his mailbox, heard you tattled to my wife. A lot of stones you have. That's a crazy move.

Yeah, that is a crazy move. What's the scene in Stepbrothers where Will Farrell's like Derek's trying to sell the house and Will Ferrell's in the full SS outfit? Yeah. Venturee's great. It's great. Oh my God.

I had a neighbor in his like late 60s, Steve. Shout out Steve back in Texas. Every other day, he's retired. Every other day he was out in his front yard with his little docks in, no shirt on killing it and he had the hunchback like the early hunchback going

and he's just walking he's just oh and he got me juiced up I don't see how a PT sixer could see another PT sixer with his shirt off that late in the game and go dude fuck him

put a shirt on what's he ain't a real PT sixer yeah Scott ain't PT6 Scott ain't a PT sixer for real maybe Nate should put him on for the dads That's a great call. Introduce him to the culture.

You might hear this part at some point. Wait, wait two weeks. But he'll be able to check himself. You know what? These boys are right. I need to do a better job of embracing the fatherhood. The Boy Scout terminology. He called his neighbor, my Boy Scout neighbor.

That's a wild ricochet for the Boy Scouts. Oh, no. Golly. Nate, that was an all-time call. Great call, Nate. Thank you. We did our call-in. We're doing so well on time. We're at the end of the show. It sounds like your lesson is pretty long. Not long. I just wrote a few things down. I have a very quick quote that I can hit for your lesson.

This is from Jim Valvano. That's the NC State coach. Remember back in the 80s? Jimmy V. Jimmy V. Yeah. My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person he believed in me. I really love that quote. So my father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person he believed in me. Boom.

Nice, simple. And it covers the basis, dude. Covers the basis. Simple quote that you can just tell yourself in the back of your mind. When your kiddos is questioning, A, should I get on the scooter? that's a big slide up there. Should I put my leg over set handlebars of scooter? Dad's over there with his phone.

Do it, do it, do it. Yeah. Oh, I did have a dad hack. On belief. So by the time we're filming this episode, Rue just went to school for the third day in the row. It's Friday. It's Pizza Friday movie night, all the good stuff.

But at Dadhack.com, because on day three, it was just me taking her to school. We were waiting in the car line. And she was all of a sudden saying she didn't want to go to school. I'm like, why don't you want to go to school? Sweetheart, Dad Dad is not at school. Like, come to school with me. Kind of didn't want to leave Dadda.

Kind of didn't want to go to school. We're starting to feel a little sad. She wasn't crying or anything like that. That was this morning? That was this morning. Okay. And so what I did is that as I'm talking to her about school, Sweether, you have so much fun.

You play a lot. You learn. Your friends are going to be there. So-and-so's there. So-and-so's there. Yada, yada. And I was like, and here's what we'll do. we can do, remember, we're always going to do three squeezes

because she said, I want you to get out of the truck, I want you to hug me and kiss me. Sweetheart, you know, they don't let parents say, why? Well, because we got to keep the line moving. Why? Because we got to stay efficient and effective and that's just the way it is. All this stuff, I was like, but here's what I'll do. Daddy is going to give you five kisses,

and you can put them in your pocket. She got a little pocket on the front of her dress or shirt, whatever it was. And I'm putting them in her hands, two, three, four, five, and she puts them in her pocket. And I'm like, you can use those throughout the day. So if you think about dad, they are mama and you get sad, just know you can pull out a kiss out of your pocket and you can put it on your cheek. And also, you know how mom and dad got you that little rude necklace. You wearing your little necklace?

She's like, yeah. I was like, again, if you run out of your kisses or again, you're feeling sad that mom and dead aren't there. We got you that necklace. Just squeeze your necklace and we'll feel it. And just know that we're always going to be with you because we are. We got your necklace and it's around your neck. So if you ever feel sad, just squeeze it. And just know that I'll feel it.

Wherever I'm at, I'm going to feel it. Bro. That's a little dad-hack. Having a girl fucking rocks, dude. Having, I want some boy dads on the show. But little moments like that. That's so sick, dude. And she ripped it, you know, teacher got her out.

Bye, dad, dad. Walked off and you just see your little human. Just walking off, bro. Just being a little G, bro. Just being a little G. With their little five pieces and her necklace along the way. But that was my dad-heck. Here's the lesson.

Here's the lesson or theme for this segment for this topic. I will load something down. I emailed it to myself. Here we go. You ready, Sherim? I am ready. Captain Chef. Jack.

Ready? It's our job to break the cycle of pointless punishments when our children are developing, learning, and growing. This is a challenge that I know I'll face because growing up in an era of choosing what you'll get spanked with, having that fear of dad anytime you do something wrong, and the feeling of isolation after punishment. Life is too short to get upset over your toddler being a toddler or your kiddo going through a developmental stage.

They fuck up, they break things, they lose their mind over little things and push you to your limits. But they're also learning how to regulate their emotions, develop their skills, and how to show up to the world. And that is where our job comes in. Don't reprimand them for the mess ups and outbursts. Instead, encourage and guide them. walk through the fire with them

and challenge yourself to stand in the storm with them and show them the way. We need to get out of the way of our own bullshit and lead our children. It's why we embrace good and it's why we will help set the standard for the next generation. That concludes my TED talk.

Those are big words, dude. Yeah. Those are big words. Yeah. I'll like come across stuff that talks about like, you know, punish, like the punishment stuff or your children, you know, going through a developmental stage or having a tantrum or the moments that you just know push you to the absolute end of the earth. We all have them. We all fail at times,

a lot of times where then it's all about how you self-talk after that and look back on what happened and see how you could have done a better job of keeping your poise. Because again, they're going through so many big emotions. And it's our job to, again, sit in the storm with them and help guide them. Or if Rue's yelling, there's only so many times where you're, you're going to yell and it's like, hey, you're starting to piss me off a little bit, or you're starting to frustrate Dadda. Or it's like, if I give you something and you're like, Dadda, can I do this or blah, blah, blah.

Ask Dadah, hey, use your confident voice. That's not how we talk. That's not how we do things. Yeah, yeah. Hey, Dad, can you turn on Little Bear for me? Can you ask nicely? All, like, all these, or they're having a moment. They just want, Ru didn't want to see me this morning.

She came downstairs. She's in her outfit. She usually comes and sees Dadda. She wants me to, like, look at her outfit. I'm like, oh my gosh, you look amazing. what'd you do with your hair? I love the head. Oh, like all this stuff. That's like every day. That's a daily routine that we have. But this morning she came downstairs and for whatever reason she didn't want to see

dadda or didn't want me to talk to her. I'm making breakfast and stuff and I'm kind of hearing her talk to mama. I don't want to see dadda. Goes in the mud room and just sits in the mud room. She was like, oh, we don't got to put our shoes on yet. We got to eat breakfast sir. She's just like, I don't want to see dadda or I don't want dad to talk to me. And I didn't do shit when she got out of bed. I haven't seen her yet in the morning. and I kind of give it some time. I finished some breakfast going on. Then I just kind, I slowly, kindly walk in there.

And I'm my, hey, sweetheart. And I'm like, Dad Dad, I don't want you in here. And I'm like, I know you done. I'm going to leave here in a second. I just wanted to ask, though. Can I ask you a question? Yeah. Like, how are you feeling today?

I'm feeling sad and kind of like lays down and does her thing. And I'm just like, all right, that's fine. I'm going to walk out here. But just know, here's all I want you to know. I'm going to be right out here in the kitchen if you need dead, that for anything. Anything that I can do for you, just let me know. A minute or something comes by and then you just hear, I need dad, dad. Like, I just, I want to hug and stuff. And then I go and praise. There's like, you, I feel like

if you take it the wrong way, you can go in there like, hey, what's going on? Like, dad hasn't done nothing to you. You're like, you're like, you're like defending your position. Yeah, yeah. It's like, whatever fucking moment she's having right now, like, hey, sweetheart, number one, we are number one. We are this. Yeah. You know that I know that. I'm just thinking, Hey, how are you feeling this morning? I'm feeling sad. All right, that's fine. Listen, I'm not going to talk to you.

I just want you to know. Can you look at me? She looks at me. I just want you to know, I'm going to be right in here if you need me for anything. Do whatever you need me to do. Walk out and then all of a sudden you hear, need dadda. I need a huggy. Sweetheart, that's all you had to say.

Pick her out. We just have a great hug. I love that. Did you ready for school today? Let's go kick some ass, bro. Yeah, whatever you're pushing out, I'm not buying because guess what? I love you. Yeah.

I love you, kid. Um, on that note, we got to roll because I got an 1130 that I got to jump on. We quite literally have to roll. I'm done.
