And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.

But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are? I felt such desperation.

It is a good just like ours. I love that a mom is taking time to write this message in the comment section of the

For the Dad's podcast. What was her name? In Nordell. In Nordell. In Nordell. Do we want to get in the shout now at comments and stuff that we've seen off of our episodes? She's officially the medic of the squad. That might be common

of the month. I know we don't have a I know we don't have a comment at a month of the month, but Cherm sent me a comment last week right when we got done filming our... Yeah? The Megalodons episode, which, by the way, I saw that there's a shared Sparkle Unicorn's Monster Truck. What? Yeah. There's a Sherrods Sparkle Unicorns Monster Truck. No, there's not.

Yeah, so people were shooting it to me. Then Nick ended up texting me. So check out, here's the monster truck that Rue would rip with. There's a Sherrod's Sparkle Unicorn's Monster Truck. Yeah. Bro, we have to go to one now. I mean, that's just guaranteed we have to go to one now. Yeah.

That's the board game. That's our board game of choice at home. Is the troll on the truck? I don't think so. He's got like his hand in the little gym back. Let me show. Let me look at, I just, I opened my phone and I have a text from Matt Malone. He's one of our, he's our new social media producer.

And we had a, you know, we had a conversation where I was challenging him and our core values that we created last week as a team. and he didn't get any of them right. And I was, you know, I was busting his balls at first, but it became more of a serious conversation as far as the evidence he's been creating. Yep. Because he was a killer.

He was a killer as an intern. He was. And I say sometimes when the guys put the jersey on, it changes them a little different. They lose that hunger. Some guys lose that hunger. Right now what you're showing me, the evidence that you're creating is that you don't take this serious enough.

I was like, hey, did you see my follow-up email last week? And he goes, which email? And I'm thinking, And I rarely send emails. He didn't have that right. He started to rattle off core values, shooting for the sergeant. You know, like the gooner one, overachieve route to him. I'm going.

And he's shit to bed. But anyway, he just- Yeah, grateful. Nope. And I just opened up my phone. I see a text from him. I let you down, but I won't stay down. That's what I love about Matt Malone.

Because you're right. Some people want the Letterman jacket more than they want the jersey. They want to be able to walk around school with the letterman jacket on. God, look at that. They love what the team does for them, what the brand does for them more than they love the brand. But here's the, it's called Sparkle Smash, 2024 highlights, Sparkle Smash. I just texted you a picture of it. Oh, let's go.

But the reason I was bringing up that episode in the Monster Truck is when we got done film and Shirm sent, send me an incredible clip that. honestly it's like it's just a great it's a great comment to read about why we started this thing in the first place do you want to read it sure yeah absolutely i can read it so this one comes from derrick galligo 6808 he said first off shout out chef shout out papa shirm i think our kids were born on the same day shout out scarlet and your kid shout out the legends of busting with the boys will and taylor so he pretty much covered all the bases right off the bat right off the bat first time member of papa team six to baby boy barrett michael gallagos born three weeks ago bmg or 50 cow is uh barrett's nickname given to him by

his father boys after two weeks in the nique you we got to home base back at fort couch and let me tell you i am not in the trenches i am digging the trenches i spent months researching how to build the perfect nursery in hopes of accomplishing the mission code name Silent Knights. And we have had nothing but B-B-I-E-D-S, which is baby-born improvised explosion diapers, sleepless nights and mama bear hearing me say, good, with so many O's. He puts so many O's in good. I will tell you, after 17 years in the military, I can say some of the best training I've received has been from for the dad's podcast community.

Don't they gas you up, man? And not just for the dad's podcast. He said, for the dad's podcast community. Yes, dude. Yes, because again, we'll be reading some dad hacks and some losses that I saw in the comments section, but absolutely, I love that it. I love that people are scrolling in the comments, and it's just been, it's fucking cool. Keep going and keep going.

Keep up the great work with the show. Always hit record. Chef does a great job with that. And I look forward to more of the sick merch. I ordered three PT6 shirts for me and my veteran dad community here in Michigan. Hashtag go blue. Shout out Taylor. Shout out Taylor.

You know who I want in my foxhole when I got to get a shut eye and who's going to be the lookout? I want Derek Gallagos to be the lookout. 17 years in the military too. Thank you, Derek. Thank you for your service. Thank you for serving. Great point. Great point. But just shouting out the for the dad's community. It's been it. It's been fun seeing the comments. And you see it, hey, again, we set the tone last week on how we would like the comment section to go.

people leaving comments and you see a dad out there going through something or he wants to be celebratory about something maybe having a kid maybe he's in the trenches yeah i'll talk through a dad loss here later that i read about and just i've seen more replies to comments seen it in the youtube comment section you're not making that up because i've been seeing it too and i've been seeing a lot of likes somebody will go on a tirade and then just finish it with good and then you know it'd be like eight likes yeah i i love that because it's their way of saying like yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah good They're acknowledging it. We're taking the things we learned on last week's episode on the practice field,

and we're executing it on game day. We sure are. At the very end of the episode, I said, I'll know if y'all remember this. I said, and if you watched this episode all the way to this moment, last thing, leave a wolf in the chat. Just leave a wolf in the chat. There were a bunch of wolves. There were 45 wolves in the chat. Oh, you counted. 45 sickos that watch.

all the way up to the end. That fires me up, man. That's electric. It helps me transition to comments at the top of the show going over. I got one from PT6 Sharp. There's a YouTube profile out there,

PT6 Sharp. I knew you'd grab this one. This no longer feels like a podcast. It feels like a family. Do you see the reply underneath it? No. Somebody said, okay, Ben Diesel.

That's the top comment. I grabbed you and I grabbed like X ones because I was like I feel like Will's going to for sure grab that one. You know I saw that one and you just, that's what you just, you set the phone down and you kind of look around and you're like, man, we're creating something cool, man. Leave no doubt. We need, we just, I think I saw was Andrew Sholes, I think talk about it in an article. Somebody published an article or something like that. And he's like, one thing we need more of is more dads, more men.

talking about fatherhood, the masculinity behind it, but fatherhood in general. And I think it's cool that we have a small platform that is building community where moms, dads, everybody's chiming in. And it does feel like, you know, to PT6 Sharp no longer feels like a podcast, feels like a family, like people embracing fatherhood. Shep was talking earlier. Who are you talking to about people coming out in the hospital and taking photos? A possible employee.

possible employee but thinking about people being fired up to take a photo with the Papa Team Six shirt on it where you're walking out of the hospital in arguably the biggest most precious moment of your life like you're having a kid yeah you're fired up when you get married but when you have a kid it changes your entire world and the biggest moment of your life you're walking to the hospital and you're reping a four the dad's shirt or you're reping a Papa Team Six shirt and you're wanting to take a moment to say, hey, can you get a photo of me carrying the little one out the hospital? Like, insane.

It's crazy, dude. That gasses me up. It gasses me up because I know that just with Jill and I'm sure same with you with Charo, just how gassed up the moms are almost naturally for this process. And it's just like you texting Charo last week of, I want to get a family pick. That wife that is just putting. pushed out this baby. She's just gone through it. And she's like, thank God I got this man alongside

me, but I hope he's as gassed up as I am to be a parent. Right. And he's got his hat in shirt for the dad's used to, baby, you got to get a picture of me. Yeah. You know they're loving it. Right. They're loving it. And this could be wrong, but I feel like this is my own assumption. But I assume that moms, when they have their kid or as she's pregnant, I don't know how the entire process goes for them at home, but there's probably something of hope that he is going to be into this as much as I am. Yeah. When we have the kid. Yeah. And then when you see, again, just taking a moment from like the biggest moment of your lives, he's got on, he's reping the fatherhood stuff. He's wanting to embrace it. He's about, he's like, hey, can we get a photo?

You know what I mean? And kind of, I would assume it kind of gives like a, not a full relief, but like a, I'm excited that he is excited as I am about it. Because a lot of stories that you hear, too, dads don't buy in until the baby gets a little bit older. Or you'll have conversations in its newborn stage. And for me, I'm more into like once the child turns six months or when they start walking or as they get older and you can play with them, that's when the dad buys in more. And the fact that we're feeling like, you know,

the fact that there are dads now getting fully bought in from walking out of the hospital is just, is cool to see because it's like, yeah, you want to, you want to embrace every, every moment. Every moment. Yeah, dude. It's really, really fun and I'm really lucky to be a new dad doing this show because it's done wonders on my mentals during all the trench battles. Every single poopy diaper, every single spit up, and just like all the fun lingo.

I'm doing it myself. Like, I feel like a viewer of this podcast being a new dad, and it does help me. It's kind of wild. It's, um, it adds an accountability element. It does. And I know my wife's listening right now. Oh, no. Because I feel like she's listened to every episode.

She's live. She's enjoyed it. And the accountability story that I'm about to bring up. Oh, no. Pains me, but. again we were talking about before the show about like work stuff yeah if there's truth behind it you got to find your way to accept it and so this accountability of us doing the podcast yeah we had a moment last night where I wasn't prepared for it but before we're about to do bedtime

yeah she's like we got to hey oh we got to go hang the shelf up in scotty's room you hate you hate that shit you hate that i hate that i hate that shit if you're coming to this podcast and and even wives watching and think like hey i hope my husband is i want masculinity in his life like this wheel guy when it comes to manual labor and building shit you hate that That's out of my wheelhouse. And I'm more delegate to elevate. Yeah. We got task grab it.

We got people that can figure this out before we, I had to go get out the hammer and go get the stud finder. I don't even know what the stud finder does. Like press the button and navigate. It was helpful. But we go upstairs. Yeah. And I take the box upstairs because it's 7 o'clock.

I'm thinking, I want to get the kids down. And I'm also thinking, like, Like, is she going to take Rue tonight? Is she going to take Scotty tonight? Because we were on the training camp tour for three days in a row. So usually when that happens, it's like I could be either of us, if we're gone for a few days in a row, we might be like, hey, you got the bag on Rue because Rue takes longer.

Yeah. So I go up there. She's just got it. I got this big box with the shelf in it. Set it down. I'm cutting it up. I just kind of have a piss poor attitude. I'll be honest.

What time was this? What time was this? probably quarter after seven okay at this point because I'm thinking to myself why am I doing this or why are we doing this like why couldn't

task grab it's easy I'll spend 50 bucks somebody come put this in even if it takes five seconds and I'm aware that I sound like a bitch right now yeah yeah but hate the hate just especially when it jumps on me yeah I was about to say it was right before bedtime

Right before bedtime. So I'll open it up. And I don't know. She says something. Let me go get the hammer. Whatever. I need to go back downstairs again to come back up. And again, I have a piss poor attitude.

I have a pissed poor attitude. I'm not embracing the trenches of what we like to hold ourselves accountable for. Hand up, sweetheart. I know you're listening right now. And I am wrong about that. but she hit me with oh no what's going on

why you have such a bad attitude and I turn around and looked at I go why why are we doing this why we got to do this right now she wants to put the monitor up because Scotty's been grabbing the monitor because we just sit it on top of the crib so she wants to shelf up

so we can put the monitor on top of the shelf I do get it yeah I'm thinking why am I doing this like we got people we got task grab it like this is an easy it's going to take five minutes you'd spend

you'd spend whatever an hourly rate on task grabber for something that takes five minutes. It's $65. Yeah, look at it. I'm like, yeah, I would. And she hits me with, I think it's why. I mean, you got this for the dad's podcast where you talk about, yeah. No.

Yeah, buddy. Yeah. Yeah. You embrace the trenches and, you know, talk about moments like this. Charo, don't be putting any ideas in Jill's head. Yeah. Jill's going to steal that move. She's watching this right now.

Love you, honey. Hey, she's stealing that. Buddy. Zero to 100 internally. No, you did? Me? Yeah. It didn't come out.

I did not externalize it. Good. Good. I ate it. Good. Because you know what I wanted to say. You know what I told? You know what I said to her?

Dad. What did you say? Tell the truth, though. What did you say? I said, bitch. Underneath your breath? Inside.

I didn't say shit. But hey, I was, I was tight that she was throwing that in my face. And I was silent. I was silent to her. She's like, I'll do it. No, no, no. I'm already doing this. I'm going to do it.

Finished, did the shelf thing. took 10, 15 minutes out. I had to go up and down the stairs a few different times. We had the stud finder. I ended up putting a screw in the wall where a stud wasn't. It's kind of loose.

And I'm like, I think this will work. And it works. But I'm like, this is why I don't like doing it. I don't know what I'm doing. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I was quiet for a while. However, here's how the story ends. I'm thinking about all this.

Because I, you know, I'm an internal being. I get fired up. I keep it in. I suppress it. It manifests and even more. And a lot of pride because I'm wanting to be mad. That's crazy you want to throw this in my face. That's crazy you want to throw a podcast in my face like I can't have a bad moment.

You know what I mean? Like you just go on all right. You just call me fake. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm having all these conversations with myself. I'm sitting there. I think I'm finishing up with Roo Roos. You know, dad, I need three kisses.

A hug, kiss and three squeezes. And I kind of avoid, too. Like, but I see her like I'm not, you know, passed by, maybe stay out of the way. Like I'm trying to make it known that I'm a little upset. She's upset too. Because every time she's telling me something, I'm just like staring at her. I'm not saying nothing. I'm not saying anything.

You got hot. I was hot. I was hot like my lip could have quivered when I was looking at her. Oh, really? Yeah, when she hit me with the for the dad, when she hit me with that, I'm thinking that's a wild haymaker to throw on me. But because there was truth to it. Yeah.

She hit you in the sweet spot. Yes. But adding that to your offense is crazy, especially this early on. We're on episode 10. Yeah, we're on episode 10. We're all learning. We're all trying to get better. We're only 196 in the top 200, babe.

You want to throw the podcast in my face because I don't want to put a shelf up right now talk to me when we were top 10 yeah yeah yeah yeah and uh yeah maybe that's why we're ranked outside the top 100 right now but i come out of ruse room i go downstairs and um i says to myself when i'm upstairs i'm like i i got to apologize because i yeah i had a bad attitude she was 100 right i did think it was absolute bullshit that she hit me with the with the for the dad's brain stuff. However, as I'm thinking about how I'm going to apologize going downstairs, I wanted to just say, hey, I'm really sorry I had a bad attitude earlier. Give her a kiss and didn't say anything else. Because as much as I want to say, hey, I'm sorry I had a bad attitude about everything

earlier, but you say in X, Y, and Z, there's a saying out there is you never want to ruin an apology with an excuse. Yeah. So just saying what I'm sorry for, because she ended up, I apologize, like I didn't mean to, you know, I didn't mean to say that either. She said something that, you know, I knew she was, we were both kind of in the moment. She hits me with that. I'm fuming going up and down the stage.

So she had some oomph behind it. It wasn't just like a funny little like. Oh, no, it wasn't a funny thing. Yeah, yeah. Because she's like, hey, what's your problem? I was like, why are we doing this? She's like, we got to get the monitor up. I'm like, why can we have somebody else do this?

You know I hate, you know I don't like doing this type of stuff. And she's like, it's going to take five. Like, again, I hear the way I'm sounding. Yeah. And she's right. She sees it as like, we're connecting and doing something together. I don't catch it that much. My connection happens under the sheets.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's more of an acts of service. Yeah, yeah. Again, like if there's a plan and I know it's coming, that's one thing. When it kind of like, I'm kind of like seeing the clock, it's getting close to bedtime. Hey, it's bedtime. Let's get them rolling.

And then you hit me with, we got to build something. And I'm wanting to get the kids to bed. Throws me off my track. Throws me off my track. Wait, go back to, you, you were apologizing. And I kind of got you off. I went downstairs and I just walked over to her because I knew we were going to have to have the conversation. Yeah.

And so I just went downstairs and I just, I'm swallowing everything that's going on in my head because I know I'm overreacting and I knew I had a piss poor attitude. So I just walked downstairs and I walked over to join the couch and I said, hey, sweetheart, I'm sorry about earlier. Like I did. I had a bad attitude. I went about that the wrong way. I said some, I said some version of that with no, like, you know, I'm trying to deliver it well sincerely. Because I was. I was being a bitch. Yeah. I was like, I'm a run to the gas station,

give me a couple drinks before we go upstairs and hit these video games. I'm about to hit the stakes with demon and beige iron. But that's how it went down. That's how it went down. Dude, well, that came from you talking about

I've enjoyed the show, the accountability of the show, and the wives out there listening that, no, their man listens to the show, fellas, do not be surprised if you get hit with something like this. You're embracing the brain,

you're about the brain, and then a moment comes or they can see that they can just put the knife in the side of your back. Because that's what I felt like happened. Accountability is huge. And it's been, it wasn't on my docket before we started recording. I was not going to bring up accountability at all. But it has been a topic of conversation between you and I of recent in the office of recent.

Good reminder. It is. It made me think about the ideas of having like good in the, the room. and stuff like something visually because once she checked me and I'm I'm putting Scotty down so when I'm sitting there rocking Scottie to sleep you're you're by yourself so you have like I have the time to think I know Charles and the other room's Rue and I'm thinking through everything because I'm mad and I kind of want to stay mad yeah my pride is getting in the way because of what she said to me after the fact that I was just having a piss poor attitude about everything and every place I went I'm

trying to find reasons that it could have and then it just comes to like she's wrong yeah yeah i'm trying to find any reason to where but then i'm like there yeah there is done i like yeah body language attitude everything about it oh yeah dude and i i've been working on my apologies i haven't even said this to jill but i've caught myself um doing this with jill a lot during my apologies of let's say i made you mad hey sorry that i made you feel mad when i did blah blah. And I'm like, dude, that's so lame. I know that's lame. And when people apologize like that to me, I'm like, that's such a lame apology. I've been checking myself on that. Yeah. Because you're saying, the apology is, I'm sorry you felt that way. Yeah, I'm sorry.

That's not, that's not saying I'm sorry for doing X, Y, and Z. It's I'm sorry you felt that way. And then we'll justify it on my mind is like, hey, we're apologizing. My, I'm letting you know my intention was never that and your reaction to it was like hey i'm sorry you ended up reacting that way i caught myself last night at the county fair actually apologizing to her because she wanted to do a diaper change before we left i didn't want to get caught in traffic because we had to get back home um which was a goal shared by both of us it wasn't just like i wanted to jet hey it's us the jonas brothers and guess what we have some big news what's the news news news 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. 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, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brooks. others. 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.

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 won. 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 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.

or wherever you get your podcast. But I was like, honey, diaper change. We can't do that afterward. You know, once we get home, like she'll be fine in the car. and she was like, why, so you can go home and play video games? And I was like, oh, in my head. It's like, yes, I'm excited to play video games with the boys, but no, that's not why I was saying it.

And my initial apology that came out, dude, was going to be like, hey, I'm sorry that I made it seem like I want to go home and play video. And I had to reshape it in my head. I was like, no, I need to apologize for having added. when I said, can we not just, you know, change the diaper later? And I apologize for that. I don't remember my exact wording.

But I, and then I said, working on the, the apology factor. Yeah. And then I just said to Jill, because one thing that with communication and like, not arguments, but like things where she'll get upset, a big one is Jill wants to know that she is a priority in my life. And so in that moment, I was like, how can I, tell Jill that she is a priority in my life and that video games are not more important

than her or my daughter at this moment. Right. That's what she needs to hear and not, I was worried about the traffic. I wasn't worried about the video games. Blah, blah, blah. And then it turns into a whole thing. Yeah.

Sure, I've done that so many times and I've, same thing, caught myself. Like, you have, you use something else as an excuse or like a vehicle as to your apology or your reasoning for something. when in reality, like true intentions. Like, maybe it's not, it's not nefarious,

but you're just like, how do I, how do I navigate this conversation in like, in your mind, like, what's going to go smooth? Whereas sometimes it's like, maybe this isn't going to be something that's going to be smooth. It needs to, you know, just be talked out. Yeah, dude. Absolutely. And just acknowledge that you completely understand why it got to where it was. Because chances are, they're going to say it might get reciprocated, like an apology that you felt like you wanted to be heard on.

You don't want to go into an apology expecting anything in return. But it's more as like, I'm sorry that I did this. I can 100% understand why it made you feel that way. And that is totally on me. When you go, I'm sorry that you felt that way or that, you know, we all know those half-hats apologies. Men like we're fucking, we'll find any reason not to let our pride. Our pride will stay the pride.

We find any reason not to. Because I think these are good conversations too because we got football season coming up. The whole, hey, get home and play video games in the season, well, can easily be all what you're wanting to get done right now so you can go watch football with the boys. A hundred percent,

which I've been seeing a lot in the comments lately. That has been a comment I've seen multiple times. Boys, please break down. How do we go about football season this year? There's a guy. I've got to find his TikTok. I think I've told you guys about it where it's uh the ticot is him doing like overly not like he's overly uh trying to where he's

vacuuming yeah he's vacuuming yeah he's like in the captions like 53 days till football i turn around my points we got yeah pull that pull like his little clip up yeah pull his clip up yeah pull his clip up when you're talking about that because those are hilarious those are so funny those are good and the uh like looking outside and like he's putting all of his golf stuff together. Have you seen those where he's like also vacuuming, but he's slowly like putting his golf attire on. Oh, I know.

I haven't seen that one. And the life's like, man, you did a great job with all those shorts and stuff. Are you going to go golf in or something? And he's like got his glove in his back pocket. He's like, what was it nice outside?

I think. Well, the guys did say if there's a tea time of two. I wasn't going to go. I wasn't going to go. What are you for that comment? I think I know when you're talking about where he's wanting to, he's wanting to know how to prepare for football season?

Yeah, dude. I've seen multiple comments on that. Like, they really want us to talk about. What tips would you give? Oh. See, it's, it's different for everybody because I put out that Sydney Sweeney meme video and like in the comments you have. Buddy that video.

Play the video. I think a couple of the guys are coming over a little later, like no more than four or five. One sec. I think this is Todd. Big toe! Where are you doing? Yeah, it's over. No, come on. If they're in town, bring them. Bring them!

Hey, what's six guys gonna hurt? You know what I'm saying? We've got four or five coming over. Why not? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. No, she...

Babe, you're headed out, right? Yeah. Yeah, she's headed out the whole day. No, she went, she goes, Are you a wrench leader? That, that video, bro, is, I think, one of my favorites. Like, across the internet. Thank you.

That shit is so funny. You in the towel. No expectations. That was right when I started here, too. Yeah. I had no expectations of that. think popping off. That shit was so funny, man. Did you do that phone call off the dome or did you script it? Because everything from the, I just went upstairs and I recorded myself for, I would say,

five minutes. Right. You probably workshopped it a few times. Oh, this will be funny to put in here. Yeah, yeah. I have a buddy named Todd that shout out TC. That's my boy from high school. Shout out TC. Big Toad. But yeah, I mean, the usual suspects that would come over when I was living in Fort Worth. We'd grill out all the time. I have people over on Saturdays. One time of which I got, that was a huge mother fucked moment before Jill was a mother. We had the boys in the garage till like 2 a.m. dude. Just ripping. Jill comes back. She had, oh, dude, I'll tell that story separately. Where was I going? Uh, oh, in the comments of, dad brain, dad brain. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How tips for preparing for football season. Yeah, tips for prepare. There's a lot of dads.

A lot of dads are out there wondering how to navigate. It's a slippery slope, especially when you get mid-season, your team starts catching some momentum or they're bad or you're in a bad mood because your team lost. Yes. And they feel like the wifey should be empathizing with where you're at mentally. Can't watch the kids. My boy's just lost right now.

How can you not see how serious I take this? Fantasy football drafts. That's one that sneaks up on me that I need to do a better job of... That's coming up, dude. Yeah. That's coming up. I think number one. the God tier tip or dad hack, whatever you want to call it.

Yeah, yeah. It's just the communication, the pre-communication ahead of time. Communication, dude. Sweetheart, we know you hate football season. And maybe she's like, you know, I don't hate it. This is if your girl doesn't like football season. That's what I was going to say earlier. Even if they kind of like it.

Like my wife's bought into football, but I always jab her like she's not a real football fan. Like she went to Maryland. Like Maryland's not that good at football. so I can see why she's not going. To his little brother. She cheered at Washington, but I'm always like, hey, Washington's on. Why aren't we, me and you just watching this game, every snap, every player? You're not a real fan.

But then she'll, like, throw, she knows, you know. She always proves. She knows the rules. She knows some players, blah, blah, blah, but I'm always jabbing her about it. So even if your wife is kind of on board with football, you know the difference between a diehard and then just a casual, or they're not a fan at all. Yeah.

But even the casuals is for casuals and even not a fan. They get annoyed about football. You still want to anchor the emotion. with sweetheart. We both know you hate football season. Then they, no, no, I don't hate football season. Just, just please, please let me finish. I want to talk with you now because we both know how much I love the Nebraska Cornhuskers. And there are going to be some, every Saturday, they're going to play at a slot of time. I don't know everyone, but each week when I figure out when they're playing,

I would love to have my undivided attention. divided attention be on that game. Maybe you're a sicko and you want to watch a lot of the games. You have to do a good job of being like, here's what I would love my season to look like. I know that's not going to happen. And I would love your input on how we can execute to balance football season with life. With what we're doing. Yeah, yeah, with what we're doing. Because I enjoy I enjoy watching the game. I could watch them all day if I had the opportunity to.

But I know that I need to carry the load. I know that I need to be present. And I just want to figure out a great middle ground that we can align on as we go into the season because I got a draft coming up next week. I want to be there. I kind of want to tell them the time. I'm kind of scared to commit to a time with them

because part of me is scared to allow this draft to sneak up on us. and then I'm throwing the draft at you. Hey, the boys were drafted in an hour. And then we're both in a little bit of a tiff. And I'm thinking, I can't. I'm drafting right now. I want to knock it out of the way.

Now I want to knock it out of the way early. How can we align on a structure throughout the year? A structure that doesn't have to be so, you know, dialed into the T, I know there's going to be moving obstacles. Yes. And moving targets throughout the year. We'll handle those. But as long as we're aligned, as long as you know where my love and my heart is with you,

with the games, I think we can figure something out. Well done. You just sold me. Yeah, well set. I think that's your baseline. Yeah, you got to have a starting base line, dude. Because you can't commit to what you want your schedule to be out of the gate. You're getting in some hot water.

You're already awakening the defense inside of your wife. Yeah. You want to set up your success by first anchoring. the emotion of we both know you hate football or we both know that you hate how much I love football. Give them a chance to step in and say, that's not true. Because it's a balance, right? It probably has a lot to do with yours trying to watch all these games and you're not, there's zero intention going on around the house and you're waiting into the day of

and then you guys are in a reactive state of emotion. No, you're handling it by having a little fun anchor in the top. We both know you hate that I love football. and then you lay out how can we align on what this year can look like? Because here's what's important to me. Outside of you guys being priority number one, my draft coming up with the boys, watching my favorite college football team on Saturdays,

watching my favorite NFL team on Sundays. Prime time, prime time. We got Thursday night football, we got Sunday night football, we got Monday night football. I know that sounds like a lot right now, sweetheart, but I know that if we just take it, if we just go one by one here and figure out what a solution can be i know we can knock this out of the park and pick pick your golden game pick that one game that you really want to see whatever

you want to watch and it for your example of like the nebraska corn huskers are playing around the same time as christie's gender reveal party that y'all have to go to and christie is charro's best friend in the world so set that expectation of, I'm not going to make that. You think I'm joking? No. No, I don't think you're joking. Charles threw a birthday party for me last year.

It was Illinois at Nebraska. We lost in overtime. But charled through a birthday party for me on my birthday to where we had a dinner. We had about eight people come to this dinner. Please send him the photo. Do what? Send them the photo. I'll send him the photo.

And I needed the restaurant that you're going to that you're wanting to, I don't think it was a surprise. but whatever restaurant it is, they better have a TV. And if we're going to do a private room, they better have a TV that can be in that room because I am watching the Nebraska Cornhuskers play on Friday night. And the entire dinner party, everybody's having a great time. And I'm just glued to the TV,

and I set the expectation with everybody that, guys, I'm not going to be mingling at dinner because I have to watch Nebraska play. They wheeled it up like on one of those like, A substitute teacher No, I saw the picture It was dicey for a minute They wheeled in some TV And I'm like, are we going to be able to get

The game on this? It looked like the ones Back in school. Yeah. The sub rolls in movie day. Yes. Fortunately, we got it. But if not, I would have been just on my phone

Just on YouTube TV. No free shot at TV. That's what I was going to say about like Chrissy's gender reveal is just set that expectation with the wife Hey, honey, isn't Christy's gender reveal doesn't start at 1130? Yeah.

Oh, dang, the Huskers kickoff at 1115. So I'll probably be keeping up with the game, you know, via my phone at the party then. And then whenever we head out, we can catch it on the way home. Do we have anything we got to do after? No, nothing. Okay, cool. Would it be cool if we, you know, can we get back home directly after? Yeah.

I can hop on the couch. Yeah, if your team plays at 11, figure out what they're. morning looks like before 11 starts yeah and then when the game ends you know whatever emotion you're right and you write that emotion but you know you got to get back in you got to get back in the trenches at home you got to get back in the game at home you got to be present you got to be present the other thing i was going to say in the in the comments of that video i saw a lot of people of like oh my girl would never do this or other people being like yo this is literally my wife so the range is very different.

Yeah. If your wife hates football, you got to somehow find a way to get her to fall in love with your team. Don't worry about the football aspect of it. Try and get her to fall in love with the brand. That would be my first... I need to get trial out to Nebraska

and see their new facilities. She's been, but we went to like a spring game, I believe. And this was old teeth comp. This was old teeth, Willie. Bro, she hadn't been to those new facilities. He's got to go. Yeah. And see all the love that Lincoln has for you.

But you're right. That's a good, that's a good way to buy in. I have the wife. She likes football. It's not life isn't based around watching football games, but she knows how much I love football. Yes, do. And understands.

So as long as I'm communicating ahead of time and it's not taking up my entire day to where it's like, hey, come on, come on. This can't be all year. Totally get that. And then if your wife or significant other, whatever, does have a team, you've got to buy into their team. That's what has helped me a ton, is when I know. And it's- I ain't buying into the Maryland, Terps. Well, you know, I have to buy-in if she's not interested.

I'm saying, like, Jill loves the longhorns. It gets me- You like the longhorns? It gets me browning points when I go to the games. You know the Longhorns beat us with one second left on the clock and beat us 13 to 12. And Mac Brown with his little dip in his mouth and, one more second yeah y'all should have won that you're sure won that game you're fucking right we should have won that game

little shirm at home young shirm was watching that fucking piss and to the to the men out there that have wives or girlfriends that are sickos like you with football congratulations that fires me up for you makes me a little jealous but that's amazing but embrace their team

like when I maybe if they're sickos like you they're probably ready for a good back and forth a good old-fashioned rivalry. Oh, yeah. Oh, 100%. But I'm saying, like, you're turning her team on and making a priority to watch her team. Yeah, I mean, you get to watch ball at the end of the day. Yeah, you do.

But then it's like, hey, when it's crunch time and like whatever conflict with your team, yeah, it'll be in the back of your head. He's like, hey, Sherman sits there and watches Longhorns with me. A smart hitty play right there. That's a heady play. anything else on the... Taking a quick break from the episode to tell you about our sponsor, Roe. Are your boys down low ever just sitting in traffic?

Is that blood flow ever in a traffic jamming? You need to get the blood flow operating quicker to get the boys moving faster, to get harder, quicker. I have the answer for you. It is Roe Sparks. Roe Sparks are a 2-1 prescription treatment for guys who need a secret weapon against softness. Roe Sparks can give guys bigger, thicker, longer erections because they get fuller

faster. And after RoeSparks dissolve, they work in 15 minutes on average. And if prescribed, new sexual health patients get $15 off their first order of sparks on a recurring plan.

you know. Yeah, she's great. You never know if they trick you in the beginning? Yeah, no, it's always a worry. So I shout out my beautiful girlfriend, Alex. Shout out Alex. Go balls. Does she, what, is she aware that you're the captain of Seaman Team 6?

She is. And I have, well, we haven't discussed it yet, but I know she listens. So she knows what it means. Yes. Yeah. Good, good. She's actually on her way from Knoxville, and it's a Friday. So we'll probably have a great chat about that around dinner.

But yeah, she's really great. So we met in college. She is from Knoxville. So she grew up going to every Tennessee game with her parents. She's a dialogue. Okay. So she's a. Yeah, for the most part, we've had like one or two instances where I lost it.

It was Joe Milton year. we were walking out of Neeland and we were playing an Austin P. And this is like coming off at Henan Hooker 2021 year, we couldn't, you know, we couldn't have a bad offense a game. And we put up like, first half we put up like 14 against Austin P. And we were leaving that game. And I might have had a little bit too much a drink. And I was grabbing random people like, what the hell are we doing?

And she, it was, I mean, might have been my worst episode ever. And I remember that next day, she was like, hey I'm letting you know right now you ever pull that kind of shit again as we're walking out of Neeland I swear to God I will break up with you and we for sure we'll never go to another game ever I was like yes ma'am I got you

she checked your ass she checked me hard and respect I was walking out of there like a total jackass like I was being like just I was just pissed off I get upset when my team you take your ball serious man it's all good I do a lot of passionate fans a lot of passionate fans have watched this show

that love their team Love their team. And so you don't feel alone, got sucker punch by some SAEs, some E-dogs down at TCU after a Baylor TCU game. And Jill told me the same thing the next morning. Said if you ever get that drunk again, if you ever do anything like that again, I will not hesitate to not only break up with you, but I will never speak to you again. Her mom had to pick me up from a Kroger parking lot later on.

It's a fun story. It's a fun story. To wrap it all the way back around, communication. Just communicate. Dude. Just communicate. Hey, look, we're not, I know we were kind of giving game on how it gets to where your entire undivided attention is for you in the game. I'm kind of, I'm kind of now hearing that.

And it's more or less figure out what needs to be done even during the game. Yeah. I think your gal is going to respect any big moment that might be happening. It's fourth quarter. You got a two-minute drive like you're in it and you're going, blah, blah, blah. Like they know how to pivot with that stuff. But to get a full three hours to yourself could be a tall task. Figure out what you know it needs to be done even in those three hours.

If you got the kiddo, first half, second, third quarter, whatever you need me to do, you got to take your time away from the TV and do what needs to be done. Especially if you're playing a slap dick team. Now, if we're talking big game, rivalry, stakes on the line, any of those games, I feel like they need to understand that kind of pressure that we were under during those times. Yeah, dude.

But slap dicks, listen, take your ass away from the TV, whatever you got to do. If you got to go pick up some milk or some shit, I don't know. And, but very last thing, very last thing, make an event around it.

We did a ton of like cookouts and grill outs and watch parties when we're living in Fort Worth. Yeah. Have people over. Bring the girls. Get her friends involved. Get her friends involved.

Like I said, I try to get Roo excited. Like the minute she could start like talking and doing stuff or hand gestures, anytime a touchdown what happened. I'm like, hey, touchdown, touch. Like getting her excited about moments within football. So anytime, you know, when she's like, I want to watch Ms. Rachel. I'm like, oh, sweetheart, it's Saturday.

The Huskers are on right now. Like dad-da, this is, listen, I got the TV. I'm the captain now. You don't have the TV anymore. But getting her involved with watching football. So that way, anytime a sports song, she'd be like, oh, touchdown back. Yeah, yeah, sweetheart. but getting them going so that way you can foundationally build a fan in the future, right?

Or if they're toddlers having to set up survival kit, having to bounce or having the walk or whatever it is around the TV or a little gate in case you're watching the TV. They're not in your side at the moment, but they're right there in your perimeter and they're safe. It's all about executing the plan. If mama needs to go do something, sweetheart, that's great. It's certain this game time. I'll take the kiddo. and you got to build an environment for success while you're trying to watch this game.

If they're old enough, you got them right next to you. You got them trying to get them to buy in just the way you buy in. Tell the toddler, you need a good halftime show. That way they're prepping the whole first half because you tell them how important the halftime show is. Dadaz Roo. I mean, you got to kill it with the ballet girl. You're the half time show.

That's a great dad hack. And that way the whole first half dude, she's like, I gotta get this halftime performance. She's getting her outfit, taking care of. She's excited, dude. How I started the foundation two of manipulation with Roo is, remember the Go Big Red video? Go big red. One of my favorites.

Go big red. And then somebody, it was either us or it got on, you know, we photoshopped or. Oh, I put it on the Jumbotron. Yeah, you edited on Jumbotron to where I'm showing her. I'm like, oh, Roo, look at this. Everybody, they played your video at the, at the, Husker game. You showed her that?

Yeah, absolutely. And they were all so excited and just like, go Big Red. Yeah. Nebraska. Nebraska. The Huskers are playing. Just laying the foundation as a father that this is an important time in our lives. Anytime football season comes around and the Huskers get to play, you know, 12 to 15 games.

God, we got to do a little barbecue watch party thing. Grill up some corn, dude. Let her know. This is what we're all about. You like barbecue corn? Oh, then you probably love the Huskers. Yeah. Build it up to where it's like an event every Saturday.

Yes, dude. Inductionate. Yeah, indoctrinated. My childhood, fondest memories are being indoctrinated into the Tennessee Falls. You wake up on Saturday and you just, you know, the old man's going to get the grill going for you. It's a great day to be around. I don't want to go and do nothing else because they have some people over. We do need to get, yeah.

Does she have a Husker cheer uniform? She's got some Husker gear. Okay. I'm in the process of getting more because she's outgrown the ones from last year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But we got to get her fit in, ready to go. Yeah, got to get her some pom-poms, dude. She does have some pom-poms.

Okay, there we go. She does have some pom-poms. And mom could show her a thing or two for the halftime show. Of course. Get the whole family involved. Come on. Now, dude, now we're living life. Now you're cooking with gas.

We're not watching football. We're living life. Because you're letting your significant another on the inside of your passions and you're doing it together. That's, hey, that's the goal. It's not figuring out how you can just watch football by yourself. It's about how you bring, how you build the camaraderie with everybody and letting your significant other in on your interest as well. Yes.

College football helps me get up in the morning. It makes me happy that I'm alive. How can I give that feeling to others in this world of college football? Yes. I think we correct the code with that one, my friend. And slash I want my team to win. sue me where do we even go from here

we just talked to college football there for a minute we really did I could segue into my mother fuck which also deals with collegiate things get into it bro I'm gonna chalk my my shelf building

as moment as the dad loss of the week for myself I think that's a really good dad loss I had a weak dad loss this week so I'm gonna skip it and go straight into motherfucker. Go ahead and do it. I even thought about not telling that story. Because a part of you is like,

I know I'm going to sound weak saying this. However, it's like, we have weak moments. Yeah, dude. We have weak moments. I'm about to have a weak moment. That's my mother fucked. I can't wait to hear it. Jill's cousin, for anybody that saw on Twitter,

Jill's cousin is graduating. Congratulations, Macy from Auburn University this weekend. We will be traveling down to Auburn. Shout out Macy. Shout out Macy. nurse nursing degree not a hard or not an easy degree um we're going to go celebrate her jill decides she bought an auburn bow for scarlet to wear to the graduation i'm like do you not realize that baler will be fighting for their fucking lives on the brazos here in four weeks against the very

same Auburn tigers and you're going to put my daughter in an Auburn bow that's crazy It was one of the very first times I didn't have words for it And she started laughing Because she was like Oh this bow's coming in the mail And I said an Auburn bow She goes yeah

And I did one of those What'd you say? I literally said bitch With my face I literally said bitch I looked at her and went You gotta be crazy Do you know what the internet's gonna do

The internet's gonna grab those pictures so fast, I'm going to get flame grilled. So what did you do? Well, she's probably going to wear the fucking boat this weekend. I don't know. So when you did the whole trash thing that was... I was being dead serious about like, I don't want her wearing the bow. And then I brought it up like four days later.

And Jill was like, yeah, we'll see, you know, we'll see how that goes for you or whatever. So we'll see how it plays out. But I will fight for my... I think every father out there knows how this is going to play. Yeah, dude. He's going to be in Auburn gear with a pretty bow on. She's going to look adorable. And Jill's going to want me to take a picture with her.

And then what's Jill going to go do with that picture? That's where you draw the line. Yeah. I'm going to be like, you cannot post a picture with me holding her. Because then if I won't. There's battles where you have to, you have to hold the white flag up. Yeah. Right.

Like we can all see that this battle right here, it would happen with me too. I don't know. It wouldn't happen for a couple teams. But it's like you wave the white flag. All right, she's going to wear an adorable little outfit. The reason why is because Macy. Macy. She's graduating.

Yeah. So she wants to put her in the theme, which I love that. That's a battle. It's like, I don't like this. However, I understand why it's going to happen. But you do have to have your boundaries. And my boundary would be, sweetheart. I'm not taking the fucking photo.

I'm not taking the photo. I've said way too much crazy shit to these Auburn burners on Twitter, and I know how these burners operate. They're going to snag that photo so quick. And it won't happen. We won't lose to Auburn, but let's say we did. Game over, dude. That picture's everywhere.

Yeah. That picture is everywhere. So let's draw the line now. I'm not taking a photo with this. Is this happening this weekend? This weekend. So when people are listening, this will be. the past weekend.

Yeah. So they're already going to be like, so we're going to know if you took the, yeah. If there's a picture, I'm putting it in. That's the pressure. You're going to be such a bitch,

dude, if you take a photo. That bow's coming off every single picture. Mark my word. Image, family, photo,

and we're out. What you're going to have to do because you're going to be on watch. Yeah. A lot of the day is anybody you see snagging a photo, you just got to put up on the finger. They're trying to get a photo with you and a little scar, scar, you just, so it's unposed.

Well, you know what I mean? They're not going to share it. You can't have the photo out there. You think the burners are going to be at the graduation ceremony? No, I'm saying, like, I'm patient. You're going to be taking care. Let's get a photo. You're just going to be on dad wall,

so no matter what, you're going to have to get in the photo. Because then they can't use it if I'm just going to have to. Because there might not, there might not be any way. around it. Yeah, they're really, well, how much they document their lives. They're really good at like taking fun videos, family picks. I mean, you might have to dish Scarlet off if you're in the photo. But I want to hold her, dude. She's my little. I know, but just for, again, 10 seconds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to hold her for this photo? I can't do this. I'm going to get drug by the

burners on the internet. It's so much bigger than the gun barres. We'd come after you. What? The goon berets out there would come after you. Auburn Division is what Chef said. Great call. But yeah, that's my motherfucker. There is a dad loss that I have on here that came from the comment section that I will share. Oh, please. From McCray Moorehouse.

Let me find it real quick. Okay. PT6 family confession time. Big time dad lost this week and I need some encouragement. It's been raining for like three days straight and my dog went outside and got soaked and muddy. dog ran inside and went full zoomies mode on the couch hand up it pissed me off so as i was trying to get her off the couch i shoved her with two hands off the couch and i ended up shoving my grown-sized labrador into my son and completely blindsided him son was crying and mom didn't see what happened so naturally i just

blamed it all on the dog wife still doesn't know dot dot dot dot son is fine thankfully but big time dad lost this week. Big time Pucci loss too. That would grind my gears. K9 took the brunt of that. Yeah. That grind my gears.

And look, I love that he feels safe enough to come in our community and share this dad loss. Yeah. Because that's one, you know, you go to the grave with. Oh, big time. You got to go to the grave with that one.

Oh, big time. If Wipey still doesn't know. Like it's one thing if you're like, I got upset, I shoved the dog and I accidentally hit, I don't know what's son's name, but it hit Little Billy. And that's all me.

That's one thing. You already got it out there. But since you blamed it all on the dog. You got to go with the story now. Yeah, which I don't mind that alibi. Depending on how bad the moment was, Waffle jumped and hit Scotty. If stitches are involved,

100% go with that story. Yeah, yeah. But if it was harmless and the sun was all right from the get-go, maybe that's one you can share with her now and laugh as you're watching this episode. Yeah, yeah. But if it was a little dicey, yeah, I think that's when you've got to go to the grave with. We may want to bleep out his name. We may want to bleep out his name. Yeah, to help us says.

I read that one too. I'm glad that you pulled that. Yeah. That's a funny one. I'm damn glad he came to the comments with the dad lost and felt safe enough to share with us. Yeah, that's as far as I'll go. It's a safe space. I was about to say I respect him keeping it from his wife.

You got to hide certain things from your significant other. Yeah. Hey, look, the dog can't talk. You don't know. Also, I just caught a huge dad-ell. What happened? Like right now? Yeah, live.

What happened? You know how I moved the Xbox upstairs because I play on that little screen so that I can see better for PubG. Guess who didn't move the Xbox back downstairs so Jill could stream movies and shows? Well, she's at home by yourself with our daughter. This fucking guy. My heart goes out to you.

My heart goes out to you because I am a, I'm a victim and an idiot of the same type of ignorance. Charles left the house the other day, and she was having to go fast. She was like, hey, do you mind clean it? out the espresso machine. Sweetheart, I gotcha. As she goes and works out at seven.

She comes back home on me and breakfast. She was like, I see you didn't clean out the espresso machine. Literally the other day, hey, before you leave, you mind turning the lights off in the pantry or something like that? Sweetheart, 100%. I won't forget to turn the lights off. Three minutes after leaving. Video.

She's walking to the band. Oh, no. Walk to the pantry and flips the lights off. Buddy, my brain is fleeting. Videos and pictures are the worst. I will say this. I said it at the top. What makes Jill upset?

When I really upset her, what is she really upset about that she doesn't feel like a priority? And so what am I telling her when I forget to take that Xbox downstairs? She's not a priority in your life. You're not a priority to me. I was not worried about if you would have, be able to play stuff on the TV while I was off at work and you're putting in, you're in the trenches by yourself at home. Fuck, dude.

That's a huge L. Especially going into a big weekend, dude. I really need to ratchet it in. You really need to. Yeah. The mantra good needs to be at the top of your head. It does. You got to have a good weekend.

Gotta have a good weekend. Gotta have a good weekend. That right there, that's a couple extra really nice conversations with the aunts and uncles really being present this weekend. Digging in. Good. Yeah. You'll bounce back.

I'll bounce back. Look in the name of Matt Malone who texted earlier, I let you down. What do you say? But I won't stay down. But I won't stay down. Matt Malone. Getting a back-to-back shout-out,

bus with the boys, and for the day. Yeah. You know inside the buses talk about it, too. Should we get into our crack a cold one segment? Would love to you. Mike, I crack a cold one, goes to Ruse excitement when I walked in the door

after being gone a few days. So Bustin with the boys, we went on a little training camp tour where we flew around. We were gone from Sunday to Wednesday evening. Yeah. And we hit the Buffalo Bills. Yep.

We hit the New England Patriots. Got the interview Coach Rable, Drake May and a few players. Then on Tuesday, we hit the Philadelphia Eagles, got the interview, the GM, Howie Roseman, and a few players. And then on Wednesday, we got to hit the Buffalo Bills, interview Josh Allen, the GM,

and shoot content in each of these spots. So I was rolling for a few days. And when you're traveling, that's always time. It's like you get to, you know, points. I know moms, dads, everybody vibes with this. Because, again, it's like, Charles made the comment to me last night, like when we're talking about making time for each other.

And so, like, sometimes I just feel like it's just work and being mom. And I'm thinking in my head, yeah, I feel like it's work and being dad. Yeah. And then you get to those spots where a trip, a three-day trip is like, all right, get a breath of fresh air, get to get some good sleep in. And then after about, I would say, two days, the dad guilt, like as you hear about whatever's going on back home or Loma or Roo is a little hard to put down. And Rue misses you a lot. Scotty had a tough time. The dad guilt starts to like creep up in your brain because you just feel bad because you know how much.

work it takes to raise kids at home. And especially two. I think it's hard just one. Yeah. Especially. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a new heart every time.

Yeah. Because the people with two look back. Oh, it was so easy with one. But when you have one, it's like, you know, you're trying to figure that out. Yeah. But getting to come home because we got to fly home a little bit earlier on Wednesday, we weren't supposed to be home until Wednesday night night. So I would have missed bedtime on Wednesday.

Yeah. Because I'll structure kind of my thought process. is whenever I'm traveling, how many bedtimes am I going to miss? So I got to get home Wednesday evening, or Wednesday late afternoon, like before dinner. So I got to walk in the door like before dinner, like as we were sitting down and eating as a fan. But walking in the door and seeing Rue's excitement to see Dada was all time, bro. Do you have a video? No, no, I don't have a video.

So, like, I'll do videos where it's like I want to get in the cadence like each week when she comes in for pizza Friday. She always walks in the door. She always wants to carry a box in or a little bag, whatever the smaller pizzas. It might just be like breadsticks or something. She walks in and I indoctrary. What is it? Indochinated her?

Yeah. Indctrinate? Yeah. Into every time we walk in, she's home. She's got to yell, Mama, Pizza Friday. Pizza's here. And since she's been able to talk and kind of get that phrase out. So I'll like video that stuff like as we're walking in on Fridays.

That's one of my favorites that you post. I kind of have it. So one day I'll do like a little montage as she's like growing up and hitting all the times where she walked in, Mama Pizza Friday, just with the little box. That's going to hit like crazy. Yeah. But I wish I would have got one of her like me coming in. She was all excited. I'm talking strong hug.

Just like we're staring. She's looking at me and just making like, ooh. Dead day home and like hugging my legs. And she was attached to my hip for the rest of the evening. The rest of the evening. She was just fired up. And it's just that's when I sit back and I would love to crack a good. ice cold bud light to is thinking of moments like that when you come home and the kids the kids are

just excited to see you scotty's smiling she's sitting up smiling dude she's she's crawling she's got a great smile she's crawling and climbing shit everywhere you can't take her eyes off of her bro and i'm talking quick on me crawl she gets going yeah in the water bowl again the other day it's what it's those moments of where you hear your little kiddo playing on the ground like whenever scarlet whenever she's moving and crawling yeah you hear them playing with toys like hearing moving around but when it gets silent that's when the alarm has to go up that's when the alarm went off in my head i'm sitting on the couch in the living room now i was doing something and it got too quiet and i just raised up i'm like oh god thinking she's in the water bowl get up start running

don't see her on the little runway in between the island yeah in the uh in the counter turn the corner and look there she is she's got the bowl tipped over soaking wet again just patting her hand in the water like damn dude yeah she found it again she's good how i'll get it's good i'll get to where I'll like see her and I'm like no no you can't go in the pantry and I'm like going lunging to grab the door to close the pantry and she picks up speed because I feel like she knows that the door is closing on her yeah goodness yeah she's all over the place man you got to watch her because they start being able to climb upstairs and you know they're uncoordinated so you have to you have to keep that eye on because once they get up a couple like again I have that PTSD

from Rook falling down the stairs whenever I like let her call toward the stairs. Episode one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That first dad lost that I told on here. And, but yeah, bro, she's all over the place. But that is my crack of cold one. To that, I say, that deserved a crack.

That is a awesome crack. It warms your heart, bro. You just, you're happy to be home and the kid loves it. Especially after hearing the voice recording that you played of Rue last week. And there was a comment that I was going to read out when we were shouting that out, dude,

I'm going to be in trouble. I'm going to be in trouble. You got to make sure you do those, man. Oh. A little recording, it just melt your heart when you listen to it. Because now her voice has developed a little more, so you hear a little bit more that innocence or broken language. Uh-huh.

And those are the best. And it fires me up that we're in at such a cadence now. Like, Roos, she gets the spa treatment from dad when she goes to bed. Like, I'm scratching her back. I'm giving her a full body massage. I start, yeah, hands, feet, calves. Because I want that expectation. Yeah.

When she's got a man one day, he's going to be like, fucking rub your back, Jesus. And she's going to say, my dad did it for me every night. Yeah, every night. Get these feet. Oh, yeah. Dad did it for me every night. So anytime mom comes down from bedtime, she's always,

Dad, da, dad, lay next to me. And she just wants me to lay next to her. I like lay next to her in the crib. And, you know, I'm just like rubbing her bag or scratching her back. Yeah, yeah. But we're in a good cadence with that now. I feel like I, I feel like it's, Roo is more of a daddy's girl right now. Scotty's all mom. Scotty is all mom. Really? Yeah, not like, don't want to be around dad, but so whenever mom walks in the room, Scotty's eyes are locked on mom. And if I'm holding her, she's kind of got the great post hand or like you're

holding them, good little post hand to where she's, to where she's like turning her body, like looking eyes on mom. She just loves mom. I think you're going to have two athletes out of those two. I hope so. The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, psycho scooter video that you put out. Did we talk about that on the last episode? No. No. The scoot, because that happened the weekend after.

That's right. But my survival kit recommendation was going to be your little one or your toddler having a scooter because Roo's got this little scooter where it's got two wheels in the front, one in the back, and she rips on this scooter. Like she rips to a point parents comment about how old is she? I'm like, she's three. and she was doing it on the back half of two but I'm like oh she's three she is the really Tony hog Bob Bernquist you name it of scootering right now you got to run the clip I'll run it

great video but that edit by will come at it charl was like um hey you should do a a scooter video like I did I did one for Rue and ballet when she was late one early two and it was uh you know I had rap music behind it. I did the ice skating one where I got a meek mill playing in the background. That was a good one. And she's like, you haven't done one of those in a while. I was like, challenge accepted. And I'm so I'm just taking videos of her while she's scootering around and I'm kind of sitting there throughout the rest of the day editing it on Instagram with Limp Biscuit, keep rolling. Yeah. She loves that scooter, man. She loves the scooter. And another reason too to add that I'm shouting out the scooter, the scooter video, the edit was was all time.

But scooter, I'm able to use the scooter analogy a lot on any time she fails at something. Because she would fall, like, you know, at first when you're helping them out on the scooter, you're having to help them go around. They're probably a little scared. They're not getting on the scooter. They overcome the fear of riding around on the scooter and you might be pushing them a little bit. Or they need your help a lot. Then they get to where they can do it on their own.

Then they're, you know, Rue is doing what she's doing now on the scooter. Put legs over the handlebar. Yeah, legs. I'm like, hey, you should try this. And she just, she tries it and rips it, bro. because you know she loves ballet so she'll be riding the scooter and hit the kick the the back leg like back back back dad at watch and throw her hand up have the leg out to the sky have the leg out to the side as she's like whipping it around a turn it's insane she can move on that scooter she's a psycho on the scooter yeah and it's incredible to see but i think my favorite part of that clip is when she's just sucking down the water and you got that look her heart has a totally turned black right right riding that scooter. Yeah.

Yeah. But I'm able to pull back to the analogy of like, you know, if she's scared to do something or she falls down and she's crying. And I always get to go back like, hey, remember the scooter? Think about how good you are on the scooter now. You weren't always that good. You fell a lot. Yeah.

You didn't get it figured out a lot. But guess what did you keep doing? You kept getting back on the scooter. So I'm able to pull from that a lot. So that's why my survival kit shout out is going to be, you know, having a piece of equipment that they can ride. It's going to be the same with the bike, and I'll be pulling from the scooter analogy. But the scooter has been awesome for learning moments and leaning back on like metaphors and analogies when she's doing something new that challenges her because she gets pissed off fairly quick because she wants to be perfect at everything.

Yeah. Dude, I love that as a survival game. We interrupt this episode to bring you our very first sponsor of the show. I know I've done some ad reads, but this one is strictly for For the Day. dads. It is Wayfair. Shout out Wayfair furniture. Get organized, refreshed, and back to routine for way less. Head to www.wayfair.com right now to shop all things home. Back to the episode. I might crack a cold one very briefly and we kind of touched on it at the beginning was the fair. The county fair. Tell me about your experience because I thought you were a sicko for

taking under the fair because I'm thinking I went to the Williamson County Fair and I was able to write stuff but you can't do nothing with a newborn anything we didn't do anything except eat a corn dog and drink lemonade that was it how good was the corn dog it was really good they were big and huge and jill is a corn dog sick oh she could put eight of those down and she would tell you that she would tell you that i'm bragging about her yeah i mean she loves a good corn dog and it was just a photo op dude the whole thing was just a photo op getting out of the house having fun And a lot of people have a different mentality with newborns of like, you need to stay at the house and not expose them. You do absolutely whatever you want to do.

But Jill and I were just feeling stir crazy. We wanted to get out together. Go do something fun around other humans and bring Scarlet. And, dude, it was so much fun. We had a blast. And I did the, God, what's the name of it? it's the wild bird chest strap. I had her on the chest mount for the first time.

And just looking down, dude, like I haven't been in the world with her enough. You know what I mean? Yeah. So I'm like seeing all these humans and blah, blah, blah. And then I'm just looking down and she, you know, got the wide eyes and like the little, oh, lips going. Yeah, I'm just, oh, my God, you're incredible.

You're so cute. And they do spit up. Good. Good. I'm not even worried about it, dude. It was just a blast. I wrote down, what I, oh, I wrote down, we were fully operating. That was the other thing.

Jill had the diaper bag on. We had Arduna. I have the Wild Bird thing with her. I'm holding the, my survival kit, the Amazon flexible tripod fan. To quote a man that we know and love, Will Compton. Buddy. Buddy. body the amazon flexible tripod fan is next level dude it's 16 bucks it's got an LED light on it it's got

three speeds i should be getting a commission for this fan that's how much i fucking love this fan is that your survival kit that's my survival kit i kind of threw them into one but uh i'm just walking around with you know making sure she's not getting overheated hitting her with the fan um got to see like all the little animals. Didn't get her too close because mom was like, no, we don't need to be around animals with a little scarlet. I was like, all right. It was a blast.

You and shout out to the county fair. And you inspired that when y'all went. It's a good county fair. It is a really good county fair. They got the rides and food trucks and stuff set up on that top, on that top level. You walk down, down the concrete a little bit. They got way, a lot more rides at the bottom level. Tons of rides.

Food trucks. Then they got this little like the farm where you can go in, like when Scarlet gets a little bigger, we're walking around. You start off at the beginning where they give you an apron in a basket. You get to pick out a red or a green apron, put the apron on. You got a basket to where it's like a day in the life of farming where you go. That's fun? You go and grab the, what do they call?

The little teats of the cow, the udders. The udders are the cow. And then they hand you a box of milk. You're kidding. Yeah. You like milk the cow. They'll give you a box of milk. You go to the, they have set up like, uh, like wooden trees with apples sitting on

where you pick apples. You go to where there's dirt everywhere and you hit the, you hit the little, what is it, the little gardening hoe deal, the little mini hoe. Yeah, yeah, a ho. Yeah, gardening. Hit in the ground, then you pick up, you pick up your peppers, tomatoes. You go, they have a chicken coop where I have these fake chickens and then there's like eggs sitting in the coop where you pick up eggs.

You got a little fishing pond where they have like magnetized. fishing rod that'll hit the tip of the fish. You pick the fish. You go into where they have this fake sheep. You brush the sheep and then they give you a little package of wool. No. And then at the end, you go to the cash register, you go to the farmer's market and you give them, you put back all the things so they can restock it back out in the field. Yeah. You put all the things back. They hand you a dollar and something else. They hand you like a dollar and maybe a sticker or something. they give you a dollar, then you go to the next table and you hand them a dollar and you can pick an oatmeal cream pie with shout out oatmeal cream pies. You either get animal crackers or an oatmeal cream pie.

You hand them the dollar, you get you a little snack, a little treat, and that's the end of the farm experience that they have at the Williams. It was really just about it. Oh, she loved it. She loved it. She loved going to all the different things. I'm taking videos and photos because she's having so much fun. And they have all those animals where you can see the pigs, see the horses, see the llamas. Did she ride the pencil?

She did not ride the miniature ponies. No, she didn't ride the miniature ponies. I actually don't even think I saw the chance to ride the miniature ponies. But we saw like the big horses that they had. Yeah, yeah. It was a lot of fun. Dude, so much fun. Not to be like, I am not a everything's bigger in Texas guy, but in DFW you do have the Texas

State Fair and you have the Midway at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. I've been around some big fairs. I could be very partial. What was the county name? Williams and County Fair. Williamson County Fair holds it to that standard, dude. That is a really good fair. Yeah.

You have not been. You have to go. Yeah, that was our third year. That was our third year in a row, I think. But yeah, I'm glad you answered those questions too because one thing I was going, if you weren't mentioning it, I was going to ask like, what was the reasoning behind it for new dads and new parents out there listening? Because you're right. Some people, they won't leave the house or they're very particular about what they might do or they don't want to get out of routine, even though.

You could be getting stir crazy and it could be healthy to get outside, just do something for even if it was 10 minutes. Yeah. How long did you guys end up staying there? Oh, 20 minutes tops. Oh, really? Of like in the fair, 20 minutes. Yeah. 25 minutes.

I love that. It was perfect. It's all we needed. Bought the corn dog, took pictures, drank lemonade, walked around. There's also live music there. There's two different sound stages. They had like a rock band at the top and then down below they had more of like the full. like kind of bluegrass stuff.

Yeah. It was awesome. Rue was able to ride some rides more than she did last year. She's 40 inches, 40 inches tall. I forgot about that. And like the scrambler, you had to be like 42 inches, 46. So there were some. I'm like, damn it, Ru, we got to get you up a couple.

Gotta get you up a couple inches. You got to buy her some Tims or something. I know I was thinking that too. I was like she would put her in some taller shoes. Yeah. Hey buddy, come on. Let her. Honey, why are you putting insules in our daughter's shoes?

Yeah. She's going on the, what was it? The name of the ride. Oh, the scrambler. Yeah, she's going on the scrambler this year. Which I don't see why she couldn't be on the scrambler if she was with me. We won't get in all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She ended up climbing up this one where it's kind of like an obstacle course where you climb to the top and then slide down. The big yellow slide? Yeah. With the cover over the slide? I saw that one. Roo got to the top and folded. Oh, no, Roo! I'm coaching her all the way around.

Sweetheart, go up through this way. Oh, no. She's being timid and shy. You can climb and do the stuff. Did she go by yourself or were you on it with her? You got to go by yourself on that kid one. Kids in line, so they're going. So if they get a little caught, a helper comes up to help them up the next thing.

Yeah. But she got to the top and I just couldn't talk her down. Like, sweetheart, because she loves slides. Like, Mama's at the bottom. of mama's at the bottom. You can do this. You know, she starts crying. No, no. She goes back down. I go and get her off the side. Oh, that's okay. I will cover. I know. I'll cover for Rue. That is a tall slide. She did it last year. No. Yes, and that's all trying to tell her. Oh, really? And she wasn't even tall enough to go on her last year. A lady was just sweaty

out of her. She's, oh, she can go. She didn't know any different. I know. And you know what happened? Did you see the clown one? Like the, with the mirrors and you go up and you do a little swirl swole. Oh, you have the fun house one. The fun house one. She did that with mom. She did it with me last year, but she went down the swirly slide, and she got caught sideways on the swirly slide. So she was a little scared at the end of that slide because she was sideways.

I was sure, no, right? You knocked it out. You did this one last year. Yeah. And then we went to that jungle one, the one with the yellow slide next. And I think she just had the framework of being sideways on the slides over the slide, intimidate her a little bit because it was so high up. Oh, I know.

Bro, that is like my number one thing is just like seeing friends when we'd go like cliff jumping or something at a lake and that one friend that's like too afraid to do it and they sit there for like 20 minutes. Yeah. But it's their face when they come out of the water. They get at the end of the slide that you're like, see? I know. It was worth it. I was bummed. Sweeto, you did it last year.

You did this one last. You trust me. Trust me. It's just straight down no swirls. She would have loved it. She would have. Got to keep it under an hour. We do. I have a what are the odds? It's very quick. Good. What are the odds? Shout out Fanduel. This is a crazy one. This one's going to scare you, Will. I actually looked up some odds. Listen to this one closely, Will, because as a father of two girls, this one might strike you in a wild way. There's a 20 to 30% chance that you have already met your son-in-law.

What? Really? If you live in the suburbs or like in a non-major urban area, there is a chance that you have already met your son-in-law or interacted with him in some way. If your child is under the age of 10, it's 5%- What are the odds that I have. That's what I'm saying. It's 20 or 30% and it's 5% in large urban areas. Yes, time will tell.

But I thought that was a crazy. crazy stat. So there's any front runners right now, it feels like it'd be Hudson, the Canada trip. There you go. The way Rue was taking interest and talking on my man's ear off and he's just acting like a full dude. And I'd be like, she wants to talk to me. I don't want to talk right now.

Buddy, trust me. I get it. But if you want to learn anything now, it's you listen. Yeah. Yeah. And maybe I need to go back and read that stat more carefully. But I'm pretty sure it was under the age of 10. it's like 20 to 30%.

That's an interesting stat. Which is nuts. Yeah. But I was thinking about that when I was walking around the fair last night. I was like seeing all these little dudes running around. I'm like, these are little dudes. But the high schoolers? That little, the broccoli haircut?

Go into that. I feel like you need to talk about that. So there is an epidemic going on right now with these high schoolers. where having that feathery layered haircut. All of them had it. I'm talking squads of eight plus all over the place. Yeah. And they all had the haircut.

All of them, Sherm. I'm not joking. Can I tell you what that haircut is called or what I think it's called? It's the Eboy cut. Is that not right? Eboy. E boy. What I'm wrong with it.

If you Google Eboy, I think Eboy haircut. 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 we were thinking I'm originally calling. it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... 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.

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 to three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now.

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.

What's go? Can I ask a follow-up question? what have they done to you personally will what what is happening or is it more so the fear of of the the fear of those guys what are they doing what's it what are they're into they all look alike they're all trying to be the same person and you know those haircuts like i i see that haircut and they think they're like it's like swaggy and you know they have juice with this haircut i swear to god all of them had it all of them had it so my initial thought is all that you know these little douchebags over here this one and you're

seeing all these high school girls walking around like you you you know the vibes you get when you go to the fair you're up the juices are there love is in the air it's the end of the summer or it's summertime you're chasing tail you're doing all these things so I'm seeing all the all the men and women you know around each other all these high schoolers around each other you want to go on the fairs wheel yeah you want to go hey I might be getting the ride with so-and-so today They kissed in the fun house? Yeah. Yes, bro.

Or drama happened. Do you see this happen? I saw so-and-so with so-and-so. And I'm just thinking about Rube being at that age. I'm seeing all these dudes. I was too, dude. All these dudes with this haircut. And I'm thinking, I would get pissed off.

Not my daughter. Yeah, exactly. Did you see my quote tweet to your E-boy tweet? Remind me? I said to the future prom date of Rue Compton. Did you see that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I said, show up with the bus cut.

And if you can't answer the question with yes, sir or no, sir, then it's probably rhetorical. And Will doesn't want you to answer it. Better have a damn firm handshake, too. Very firm handshake. But I would start with the buzz cut. That's an easy win. You would love that. It's something about everybody wanting to be the same, I guess, like conforming to this idea that this is the haircut you're supposed to have.

Like, how are you different? Like, buddy, what are you doing? I get that. You ain't a leader. You're not a leader. You're a follower. That's what those Nike elite socks used to drive me crazy. You remember all the neon Nike elite socks?

Yeah. I felt victim a couple times. Was that your prime? That was when I was in like middle school. Yep. With some sparries on. Oh! I remember the spary wave.

I stayed out of it. Oh! That was the one that grinding my gears for the elite socks. I fell to the growing the hair out face. I looked ridiculous. Oh, I had a Bieber cut, dude. I had a Bieber cut. Yeah.

That was what was big for my generation was the swoop. And so, yeah, maybe going off that, thinking about myself, like when I was, like, you know, growing longer hair to where you could, like, shake it and do the gay shit. Come on. It's like, you knew you were doing it because you thought it was cool because everybody else was doing it. And I'm telling you, this haircut is uniformed.

It is. I don't know if you observed and peeped it. I was there on a, on a weekend night. So I'm talking, the high schoolers were out. The high schoolers were... By the time we left, it was just getting started for everybody else. High schoolers were out for mine.

My headspace was not there. I was more so looking at the toddlers. I was more so looking at the toddlers and being like, I can't wait for Scarlett to be able to walk around. Like, that's going to be wild. And seeing like the moms and dads holding hands. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a really funny DM to save time.

I won't pull it up. It was basically a guy saying, Sherm, saw you, saw the fam at the county fair last night. Wanted to come say, hey, and shout out PT6, but I was dealing with my own shit. I had a toddler up on the, you know, whatever, and I was holding the little one. But glad to see the fan was out and about.

But I just love that idea of just like PT6ers just in the trenches with the toddlers. walking. Yeah. I was daydreaming. I was daydreaming, dude. I was like, Scarlett, I want you to walk and talk so bad. But then you keep on reminding me, I'm going to miss. Yeah, enjoy it as much you can. Once that phase is over, it's over. When she my little, ooh, just in my chest patch. I respect that. It's like, I want to say my mind was doing that because it's like now that she's three and she's pretty. And it's like I'm just thinking about those things a little bit more because they're just going to keep growing up. They're going to keep getting older.

Yep. I told, and you watch these shows where their, their daughter have these love interest in the shows, and your whole mindset is like, this is what my daughter's going to be going through. And I'm looking around and there ain't no prospects. Ain't no real prospects.

Prospects and I'd be like, God damn it. And dude just walks into your front door. I'm not a dad. Hey, Mr. Colton. Open the door. Hey, Mr. Compton. Shut the door. Oh.

Got to stay on track. Got to keep it under an hour. Dad. Yeah, go ahead, show. Oh, I was just saying as a non-dad, having a daughter is terrifying. Like the thought of it. No, yeah.

It's like a, like that's scary. Oh, yeah. 100%. It subsides, but then it comes back to life in pockets. Not in a bad way. Yeah. Not at all, but I'm just saying like. Well, you're just a, you're a full-blooded male right now.

Yeah. Always will be. if a daughter comes into the picture. I've been told by every single person, like a lot of people that I will have only daughters. It just makes sense. Like one of those things, I'm like, no, I'll have a boy. And they're like, no, you're the exact kind of person

that you only have daughters. Yeah, buddy. Trust me, I'm with you. I was in that same mentality. I'm going to get three of these boys. So will three shots. Three shots of the title. Will Sleep Paralysis Demon is a 16-year-old.

With an Eboy haircut just standing over his bed. Oh, he would pain me, dude. Abercrombie-looking motherfuckers, bro. Zach Efron looking at. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. And shout out Zach Ephron. That was a weird ricochet shot at you.

I have a dad hack. Okay. I have a couple of dad hacks as well that I was going to read from, I was going to read from comments. Oh, nice. Okay. Do you have them pulled up? You want to go first?

I pulled up, sure. This one comes from Sutton Neal, 4914. Just got my daughter down again after she needed a midnight snack. I was listening to the pod and sure mentioned giving Scarlet some medicine in a syringe. A little dad hack, mixed the medicine, whether it's Tylenol, gas drops, vitamins, et cetera, in with the formula or milk in the bottle. It makes it much easier. And my daughter doesn't like the taste of the cherry Tylenol, but mix it with the milk,

and she takes it just fine with no vomiting. Great dad hack. Great dad hack. Great dad hack. the syringe method. Roo wasn't about that. I'm talking it was a fight to get medicine in her mouth. And I'm

talking you would think we are torturing her to the point to where you feel bad that you have to hold her down and hold her still to get it in. Like they're like kind of gargling or choking on the medicine and you're holding like, say keep her steady, keep her steady. You feel like you are waterboarding your child with how much

you're torturing them. Knowing that it tastes good and you're just like you've got to get it down. Well, and I'm sitting there, I didn't put too much a lot to it. Jill's really good at it because she's a nurse, like doing the stomach thing. But then, yeah, to that guy's point, Jill puts the probiotic in the formula. And so I did think I was like, why can the probiotic go in the formula, but the gas stuff doesn't? But I'm guessing maybe it's like get the gas stuff in before the formula so that it can start doing its thing.

And then I don't know. We ain't experts. We are not experts. This is not an expert advice giving podcast. A couple dads telling stories. Just having fun here. Failing our way up. We're failing our way up.

My dad hack comes from Tom and Tom apologies on the last name, Cavuto. Hair ties on wipes. And I'll have chef pull up the video so it's easier for people at home to see. but we've often discussed the one hand on Scotty, for your instance, while you're trying to pull the wipe and that wipe just won't come out and you're shaking that damn thing. You get your regular ponytail hair tie. You put it on the wipe bag, like let's say white bag's rectangular. You're just going to put it on one at the end so it kind of helps clamp down on the wipes.

And it pulls out like so easy, dude. No shit. show you the video that he'll have playing, it's insane. It's like a tissue out of a tissue box. Buddy. Buddy. That comes from Tom Cavuto. Shout out Tom Cavuto?

Apologies on the last. Tom Cavuto. Tom Cavuto. Cracking the code right there. That's giving game. That's giving game. Mine comes from Chris Brake, 9337. Tip for any dads flying with their little ones. This is a great tip. If they still take a bottle,

give it to them when you're taking off. don't take a bottle use a pacifier this is the equivalent of an adult throwing in a stick of gum in for takeoff to help with the air pressure for your head pt6 out that's a good one that's huge yeah that was one that uh char was on top of like when we'd start taking off with uh rue or scotty yeah like timing it up to where you start feeding them for takeoff so that way yeah the air pressure ears popping they're kind of sucking it down while the elevation is going on yeah so that way their years don't pop. That's good. I would love that week before I travel to Waco for that game. Yeah. I would love to have a breakdown with you of just go through everything. Done. That would

actually be really fun. Done. Because I need it. Maybe we could do a double date. Some sort of Charles would have some things that I might miss. I'm saying a meeting of the mind. Yes. I thought, I'm so sorry. I thought you're saying like y'all come to Waco? the game and I was like you're going to be at the Cincinnati game where are you talking about yeah no no no I'm talking like good to have the better half it would because there'll be some things that I forget well and then the girls will run off and they'll start talking about how dumb their husbands are and they'll become good we'll have to keep the kids yeah yeah yeah it'll be good oh yeah we'll have fun though we watch the kiddos yes dude that would be fun that would be fun come on now uh do you have another dad

dad heck no I don't call ins call ins call ins ha line 601 the dads. Shet Jack, Willie C, Sharm. It's Dexter from 4 for Scotland here. Papp of Team 6, Braveheart Edition. We've got... Do you hear that?

No. For Scotland here. Papa Team 6 Braveheart edition. We've got the family trip to Orlando coming up, and I was wondering if you guys have maybe any advice for jet lag. We're obviously. I think coming out, we're going five hours back.

I think that's going to be okay. We can maybe make that work. But when we come home, I'm expecting to be in the shit. I mean, I'm in the mud. Kid show, kid show. I don't know if you guys have experienced this, but maybe just any advice that you've maybe heard or whatever would be appreciated.

All right, love you, boys. Dexter. Dexter from Scotland. Pt6 Braveheart edition. I love that. A shout out Dexter for calling into the show. My tips would be, all right, so I can equate this to us flying to Hawaii. I want to see Hawaii is a four-hour time difference?

Yeah. The Nashville? Yeah. Trip down there was always pretty not that bad for us. Again, we would do a lot of timing up the feeds as we're traveling. We try to keep the same cadence as we possibly can. When we land in Hawaii and we are four hours back, obviously us being four hours ahead, you're wired to get tired earlier, wake up sooner.

We would try and get on the clock, get on the time locally like that we would do. So, for example, if bedtime's at seven, we'd be chopping up on first day. It's probably like eight or nine when we're trying to get everybody down. But have the same cadence of waking up. So if bedtimes at seven, wakeups at seven, if we're in Hawaii and we're trying to put the kid down or we're trying to put Roode down at eight or nine or get Scotty down for eight or nine because it's not like you're going to be able to accomplish all four hours in one day or one shot. Yeah. But say like up to two hours at a time or an hour or two at a time, the one thing you'll notice is everybody will be waking up a lot sooner. Yes. A lot sooner. Even you're going to be waking up a lot sooner.

I know Charlie and I would be up just laying in bed at like three or four in the morning our first couple nights in Hawaii. It really took a while. But we would try and get on the cadence as fast as we could. Again, not all in one chunk to where you're trying to eliminate the five hours. So again, if bedtime is usually at seven for you, if we were doing the whole five hour difference going backwards, we would probably be trying to get Rue and Scotty down, you know, within a reasonable, probably around nine. o'clock it might be 10 but let them sleep as long as they can because again you know that they're probably chances are they're going to be waking up a lot sooner and then the next day we would just handle out

our daily routine and time it up to where you know if they're not eating until seven or eight if they're bitching and complaining we would try and hold off to those times so if we're eating at seven we're eating at 11 you know what I mean and so forth three o'clock rude now that she's a toddler it all kind of like if she's hungry for lunch we know like hey we got to get some lunch in we got to get some protein in her yeah but if you're having a ta or not a toddler like a newborn or an infant to where they're on a schedule we would try and be to that schedule as close as we possibly can and try and get in our regular cadence as quickly as we can now i'll tell you this every time we've flown back from hawaii or a spot to where you're traveling a far distance outside of

canada canada wasn't too bad honestly oh okay it's been a nightmare really yeah it gets a little dicey it gets a little tough so you just got to know and you got to prep yourself mentally ahead of time that this is going to be a battle and it's not just going to be one battle or dealing with traveling back home

jet lag it's like you know you know you're going to have some jet lag for us it's all about getting on the schedule that we're at home and now we have a new local time and that's the part that should be not the physical part of traveling back like the flight back The flight back and being home is the shitty part. Got it.

Flight back, yeah, flight back and going home was always a challenge for us. Okay. Has always kind of been a challenge for us. And you just got to know there's going to be about five different battles on the way home. Not just one. When the first one's happening, you've got to go, it's got to be second nature. You know what I mean? Like it's default.

It's subconscious. This is just number one. This ain't even close to what the shitty part's going to be. That's what you have to tell yourself mentally. Yeah. So that way you're handling it the way you got to handle it. and you just know that there's a war to come. And it just started to manifest itself in its first battle.

But that would be my advice. It'd be trying to get on your schedule as quickly as you can, a couple hours at a time. Then you just create that routine. Try not to deviate from that routine because it's more important for the kid than it is the adult, but you will appreciate it because you're trying to stay on schedule. But that would be, those would be my tips for having a successful vacation or family trip.

that makes all the sense of the world i honestly can't touch on it because i haven't done it to be honest but not yet i will be doing it soon um but what they say they were going again orlando okay probably disney world yeah i'd be hitting the parks that'll be interesting that'll be fun it'll be fun good for him all the way from scotland decks yeah 100% did he say how old the kiddo was or his kids were let me see i don't think so oh no he yeah he didn't but he's got two Correct? Yeah, two. But shout out Dexter and Dexter will get a little Scotland flag. Going.

What up, PT6? This is David from Northwest Arkansas reporting a massive dad win today. We've had a rough week. David from Northwest Arkansas. Second caller, David from Northwest Arkansas. Week of sickness. Wife got sick and I got sick. And our four-month-old son William got sick. four-year-old son Stephen got sick

That is a clinic. If we ever host a conference before the dads, he needs to be a speaker. That's such a big dad win. God. It inspires me to be better.

It makes me feel like a failure as a husband. But that is what we need. You need fatherhood being embraced that way. I would like to think in the right situations I handle it that well.

One shelf, two screws. I think I know the exact shelf. Oh, no. It's got the nice little. It's got a shelf and then like, underneath of it's got these little like antler hooks yeah and she also like uh and she's like you took such pride in doing it in ruse room and she's right i i i i hear that it's like i'm bitching about a shelf dad you got to learn from me yeah you got to you got to learn in those moments because i i'm grateful to hear that i'm grateful to hear that i am too don't despair and compare but see greatness and replicate it.

You know, go out there and replicate what David did. Also, dapp up a dad. Just go out there and go dapp up a dad, dude. We need more dad daffs. Why am I not dapping up a dad every day? We need more dudes dapping up dudes. I feel like that's all we do. We need more dad dafts.

We need them. Because when I come in, when I've had a hard week and I come into the office and I dab chef nine times, times, you 20 times. JP's throwing out daps. Matt Malone, questionable daps. He's been catching so much fire. I'm so sorry, Matt.

But we finally figured out a dap between each other. But when you're dapping the boys up, dude, when you're dapping the dad's up, and just rinse and repeat what David just did, being a fucking legend. And ask yourself, when you're in the kitchen and it's 1 o'clock in the morning

and you're done with the night shift, Jill's about to clock in at 2 a.m. What's something that I can do to bless Jill in this kitchen right now, in the living room? I folded those blankets like shit. Watch me fold these blankets again. God, you're so fucking right. Watch me chop this pillow. She's going to walk in and be like an interior decorator came through here.

Lesson of the week. Be like David. Be like David. Dude, I'm realizing this is going so long. I have such a fire lesson of the week this week. Say it, tell it. Do you have a lesson that you want to do? I had a pull from Instagram

that I was going to shout out, but bro, if you want to rock the lesson, rock the goddamn lesson. I'm on the lesson thing every week. You are. It'd be good. Yeah, it'd be good to hear. It'd be good to get a clip hole, sure amount. This is my first quote of the week. I'll paint a picture really quick.

I talked about Lord of the Rings. Last episode, I will try not to talk about Lord of the Rings every episode. Lord of the Rings is one of my favorite stories of all time. It inspires me, and this scene in particular brings me to tears when I watch the third film Return of the King all the way through. This is one of my all-time favorite scenes. Sauron's forces, and Sauron is the Dark Lord.

He is the big baddie for the people at home that have not watched Lord of the Rings. His forces have laid siege to ministereth the capital city of the city of the city. Gondor. Those are the good guys. Okay. Lord Sauron wants all of humanity to be wiped off the earth. He's the dark lord and he often uses man's fear of death to bind them to his will, to his evil dark ways, promising immortality, great power, wealthy, tricks them. You remember those rings of power he was given out to everybody and then it turns you on one of those evil necromancer zombie be things, right? Yeah. So when everything seems lost in Gondor is about to fall, the riders of Rohan pull up to the scene. And King Theoden that leads the Rohehrum, which is a large cavalry of

horsemen, they're coming to basically save the day. And King Theidan turns to his army, and he says the following. I think this is a really good morning mantra. If you just want to get fucking stoked to wake up and go take on the day. Arise, arise. Spears shall be shaken. Shields shall be splintered. A sword day, a red day, and the sun rises. So he's basically saying some shit is about to go down.

And it's going to be a sword day. It's going to be a red day. It's going to be bloody as fuck. And look, the sun is rising. right now. This is about to happen. So buckle up. He says, ride now, ride, ride for ruin, and the world's ending. And then at the end of that, Sauron's power over humanity, if you remember, is reminding them of their fear of death. King Theoden then screams out death. And his army yells back at him, death.

And he screams death again, and they scream death, and then they charge into the enemy forces. He's basically saying, what you hold over our heads, we fucking want it. All of that speech right there that he just said can be summed up in one word, good. He's basically saying good. We're going to go fucking kick ass. And you can't scare us. We fucking, you're going to kill us.

You're going to destroy us. It's going to be terrible. Good. I fucking want death. I fucking want it. Gets me juice every time. Fuck fear. Fuck fear, dude.

Fuck fear. King Dayden, dude. I feel like we were in a locker room right there. Oh. The juice is going. Yeah, I thought you were going to give me some dad lesson. Dad lesson. And I love how you just.

you galvanized the fatherhood into what you fear. Fuck that fear. Lean into that fear, dude. It's the same thing that we've been saying. Yes. That good mentality that we like joke about, it's so true, dude. Like when you wake up in the morning and you are tired as fuck,

wife has to pump. That means you're holding baby, but you're half awake. You don't really want to hold baby. Good. good death and you just charge in their full force you give it your all even if you know it's going to end up in a you know dirty diaper or crying or whatever like shit will not go our way life is hard it's like it is not easy and going into it with the mentality of this won't be easy good

or like bring it i love that dude gets me juice go watch that go watch that scene dude just type in ride of the roherom in youtube yeah if you fucking tear up fucking tear up dude cry man and look at the orcs faces dude as the roherom is just about to get their front line and the leader of the orcs is back and he's like these guys are fucking nuts they don't give a shit and also sauron's forces outnumbered the roherom 10 to 1 they literally have 10 times the guys and as that charge is coming in they're like Like, what the fuck? These guys are psychopass.

Just a bunch of PT6 sickos. I love that. Let's go. Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life. Yeah. You got me fired up from Michigan, Nebraska. Oh!

And just wanted to kick ass when I get home. Yeah, dude. I got that of one fucking shelf. That's how. Hey, dude. I know. I know. Look, look, look. Even when we were talking about it and going over and she's like, yeah, you know, you know, I don't mean. Like I said a couple things. I'm like, I know. I know you didn't mean it. And I'm like, you know, you have a bad moment. You have like a low moment. Yeah. It's just you got to catch it. Fortunately, when I was rocking Scotty to sleep, I'm like coming to grips with. Yeah, dude, you got to apologize. Later that night, I'm known for. or not sheets and blankets washed on the bed. Charles usually fold them or we might fold them together, but it usually comes at a reminder,

hey, can you help me fold these blankets? I'm sitting there kind of, we got done playing the game. And I'm in bed before Charo. She's still out in the living room. I think playing some game on her phone or something like that. Oh, let's go. And I saw the pile sitting there. I was like, you know what?

I'm going to surprise her and have these sheets and blankets folded And then stuffed in like the, you know, the drawer like under the bed. Yeah. You know how you have the bed frames that'll have like a drawer or something like that? Yeah, yeah. We have the little space compactor type thing. Yeah. You know what you're talking about.

Drop a little, drop a little surprise. Just drop a little comeback. That was like a small wind before I could, you know, lay my head to rest for the night thinking about the goddamn one shelf, Will. You are fucking better than that kid. Can we give ourselves a homework assignment? because this won't come out until Tuesday. Let's give us one.

I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out.
