I have some notes written down. It will be. Rue's birthday. I have a hack inside of Rue's birthday. Okay. Shout out my wife, Charo. I know you're listening to right now, sweetheart. With that little smile on your face, I could just kiss it.

Uh-oh. Jill out of town. Uh-oh. Till Thursday. Who is it? Oh, we have a special gas on the sound. Yeah, treadmill other side. Trembil other side.

We had a special guest. We had a special guest that just walked in the shop. He served to deliver our treadmill. Treadmill is going in the shop. That's actually, he fits getting right. That's huge. Dude, it's huge.

The treadmill is like something that I can very easily adopt. Boom. 10,000 steps. Yes. Got to get them. Yes. And this one's got, you know, he's got the flat. You walk on a flat.

You can hit the incline up to 12. There might be a decline. decline of like three degrees. So you could walk even downhill if you need to. What's the benefit there? Is it insincerity? So I'm pretty sure it has a screen on it. Yeah. So my brain is telling me that you can go on these hikes that the monitor has probably an app inside that you can go walk a mountain in Colorado. Yeah. And that mountain in Colorado, if you go on that hike would have inclines that go up and then at some point you'll be walking downhill. Just like climbing a mountain. You got to go down it. You have decline.

Is that more of your quads if you're going downhill? That's a quad killer. Okay. Yeah, but I feel like if you're going to like a 3% decline on a treadmill, you're probably just taking a nice little break. Nice little brisk walk down hill. Oh, okay. So you've been elevated and you've been, you're huffing and puffing and you're even having a hole because you're walking.

Yeah. Then you hit to the part of the workout where you go down to the decline. You're like, thank God I get a little bit of a breather before I got to climb this next hill. Now, I do, I do have something that I just thought of with the 601, the dad's number that we brought up. Because last episode, and I didn't see a lot of people come to the defense of the state of Mississippi. But I do want to give a shout out to our 601, the dad's area code is a Mississippi area

code. Really? Yeah. So shout out Mississippi. I actually have a comment here from, from Morgan. You guys would be really good at podcasting if you knew that he had the comment for the thing you just said. I did it.

We would be really good. But this is from Morgan. She's an M.T. Sixer in Mississippi, Morgan Wallace. Put some respect on Mississippi. Cry, laughing emoji. You do use our area code for 601 the dads here in Jackson, Mississippi.

I think we deserve a shout out, love the pot, and have enjoyed listening throughout my daughter, Ren's first year of life. Her birthday is coming up on April 29th. Happy birthday, Ray. So shout out to her, and my husband, Sheldon,

who is also a loyal listener for the dads and busts with the boys. Dude, shout out Mississippi. Shut up Jackson, Mississippi. I've been there. That's actually really, really funny. You didn't know that? No, I did not.

Well, I did not know that. Yeah, I didn't know that. That's hilarious. Yeah. We do have a Mississippi area code. That was on Spotify. I missed that one. You had to look for some like underground

voicemail that was free and easy to operate. So maybe that's what Mississippi offers. Hey, we got a landline here where we can get the voicemails to come in. Hey, here's a number that nobody's ever going to. It's Mississippi. The 601 area codes up for grabs. Oh, no. Has been used in 20 years.

Shout out, Jackson. I've also been to Jackson. My dad was born in Mississippi. Really? Yeah. That's unfortunate. Yeah. He moved to Texas when he was three.

Nice. Nice. I'm joking about Mississippi. We love Mississippi, dude. I'm not. He was born in Mississippi. Mississippi's used for a lot of things. Mississippi River.

Mississippi River. Counting, counting. Counting. Mississippi. Mississippi, one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi. Blitzing in football games. Hey, you have to get to five Mississippi

before you rush the quarterback. Hey, that's good. Also, probably one of the funnest how to spell it songs. Yeah. Am I, S, S, S, S, S, I, P, P, P, Y, or, oh, God. Fuck. It's all right.

Hey, that's who's, this is who's hosting. These are the dumb asses hosting for the dads. Hey, you want to be a good dad? You want to be a good dad? Hey, Scarlett, you're doing a great job. What's this last letter? You misspelled Mississippi, though, honey. It's a why.

It's not an I. Will, what city are you from or outside of? What's up? Where am I from? Like, where was I born? What did I grow up? What city? What major city do you grow up outside of?

Are you talking about St. Louis? Yeah. What river is St. Louis on? Mississippi River. That's what I'm saying. There you go. I said Mississippi River. Oh, you did?

That was the first one I said. Oh, shit. We're figuring it out. What was your first address? Oh, my gosh. Good times. We got, Roo's birthday was over the weekend.

Yes. Jill out of town. Yes. Easter egg hunts. We did three of them. Oh, my God. Who went a little. I have Nanit written down.

Nanit. Do we, we got Nanit this week? Are you saying you have Nanit written down? Nanit, I just had the word nanit written down. We certainly did a NANIT custom social that we can talk a little bit about the behind the scenes of. We can do that later. Yeah. We did.

But we had fun making a Nannitt custom social. We did. Nannett's on board. Nannett's on board. Nannett's on board. I've been using my, this is true. Nan has been awesome with, unfortunately, really, really unfortunately, my wife took Scarlet out of town for Easter and this week that I'm currently talking to you guys. No.

So you're, okay, we'll get into it. We'll get into it. However, I can check my NANET app, which has been awesome because Jill took the NANET with their two texts. So from my bed in Nashville as I'm going to bed, I can pop open that little thing and see my little bundle of joy sleeping. And it's kind of sick, dude. Like, I love checking in and spying on her a little bit. You love checking in knowing you have zero responsibilities. Yeah.

Don't have to do anything except look at your phone and just smile. knowing that there are thousands of miles away, hundreds of miles away. Hundreds of miles away. And audio works on that thing. So I've been hearing Jill and the mother-in-law talking in the mornings. They don't think I can hear, but I've been... Oh, no shit?

Yeah. Last week when we started recording, we... We'll dive into that. The nana in the stream room from the custom social that we filmed was on. And I started getting alerts during the episode. Clomp was in there, like with one-on-ones. And I'm like, I hope he unplugged this. and I think he did within like five or ten minutes.

But I was sitting there. We already started recording and I was like, shit, hopefully. Did you listen to? No. I'm a good, I'm a good employee. Knowing the nana was in the stream room,

boss man's doing one-on-ones. You sitting there, you could easily just turn up that nana in here, the one-on-ones he's talking about with guys. I easily could, but I'm a man of valor. Yeah, you are. Good on you, man. That's the leader of Seaman Team 6.

A very quick segue. Derek told me this story. and it's one of my favorite stories of chef. I don't know if I've spoken about it in front of him, but one day I was sick. And I couldn't come into the office. And I had to edit from home. And was it Jeremy that was messing with a chef?

He was basically saying to chef, like, oh, Sherim just can't come into work. Like, he doesn't want to work here anymore? That's weird. Oh, and you have to do all of his edits because he's sick. Like, are you sure he's even sick? And apparently, chef did not find that joke funny at all and came to my defense in a real way

was like Sherman Young would never do that. He is sick. I know for a fact. He would be here right now if he felt good. That's a Seaman Team Sixth that's got your back.

That's riding for your boys, man. That's riding for your boys. Thank you guys. It's an ongoing bit. I love high roading clump anytime I get a chance. He swings really low. I go as high as possible.

I hope he listens this too. And if he does, and I'll make fun of him for it. But, for people I don't know, Clump is the office troll and I've learned that the way to beat the office troll

is to take everything very literal and then high road every single step you get and he doesn't know what to do it's really funny. Clump is also the boss. He's also the boss. He is also the boss.

And you high rode his ass every day. Sherman Young would never do that. I'm sitting over here, Sherm. Do you see how I'm just circling? Yeah, what's going on? Where are you circling? I was worked up before I came into the shop. What happened?

I came across a video on X. And this is to me, I'll send you this tweet so you can put it up, Jeff. But from C, this is from CBS Mornings.

It's about the 16 year old. What got me worked up is knowing that he was talking about how he was having a conversation with his parents and he told his dad that I'm going to do this whether you like it or not. It's a 16 year old kid

that's quoted right now. It's an interview that CBS Mornings did with a 16 year old that's essentially doing steroids because he's a little. looks maxing. You know how all these phases of laxing. Yeah, are coming in or kind of just infiltrating the youth, all the trends they usually do. Keep your cortisol low. Yeah. But this kid, the quote, because there's a video,

I don't know if we can if we're allowed to play the video, but it's this interview with this kid. And he's quoted as, if I have a heart attack at 30, I have a heart attack. One 16 year old told CBS news that he was starting, that he started taking a steroid known as trend, which was developed for livestock after seeing Jim influencers participating in the looks maxing trend on social media. And it's like this deep dive interview. They do it. It's six and a half minutes long.

Okay. This kid was chubby and this and that. And he just started doing steroids because he wanted to, he wasn't getting girls. He was fat. He was short. He just didn't look like or feel like a man. So he started doing, he started doing steroids. And he's jacked now.

He's doing all the things. Well, and steroids will do that. Steroids do help with doing that. You do need some discipline behind it. He does seem like he's very disciplined to doing this. If I give him any type of flowers of discipline, he is doing something every day. Okay. But his thought behind it is so surface level of this look maxing bullshit that he's taking steroids to do so.

And this is a steroid that's used for livestock, like animals, not good for your body. He's probably getting from Mexico, I'm assuming. I don't know. I got too worked up because I quote tweeted it. Oh, gosh. Because again, I'm just thinking like, this to me is what happens when there's not a strong foundation at home. And I'm dead ass serious.

Like, this is funny. We laugh at the looks max. Yes. We can laugh about all we want. But it does in a way kind of piss me off because you just see the domino effect when there's not a strong foundation at home for this young man. Because I'm looking at this young man. And just service level reaction, if this was my son, I would whoop his ass.

But then when you go deeper, I'm thinking, It wouldn't, I don't even feel like it would ever get to that point because you're able to like communicate with your son. Or there's like this healthy fear that he would have. Yes. Or respect that he would have or obedience that he would have to where you're truly educating him on what the problem with this issue is. And also let's not get, stop getting caught up about what everybody's doing on social media. What everybody's doing at school. Let's look a little bit deeper what the issue is.

Because all this discipline and structure that you have daily, that is phenomenal. It's the, it's the obstacle is the way you. are taking the road less taken. Yeah. You can get there one day. Obviously, steroids do it is something different to you. But you're doing it for all the wrong fucking reasons. And the fact, he said like, he's in the interview and he sat there.

He was like, he was talking to his dad. And he was like, his dad doesn't like it. His dad said he doesn't want him to do it. And he said he basically communicated with his dad. And we can, I'm just going to find this, cut through this to the part to where I'm able to just play this little part. My dad isn't too supportive of it.

And he was very, like, to yourself, like, you're going to hurt yourself. He was just, like, worried for me. I explained to him everything, told him, like, hey, like, I'm doing this regardless, basically. Even if you tell me not to do it, I'm still going to do it. So if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it, like, in the safest way possible. I just want you to know that. I mean, like, I look. Buddy.

If I'm going to do, if I'm going to do heroin, like, just know I'm going to do it in the safest way possible. Like, I'm going to do all my. research and it's something that I want to do. I'm going to do it. I know that steroids is up there with it, but with heroin, but the, it's crazy. And just, uh, the fact that he, like thinking his dad's not supportive of it, he doesn't want him to do it. I'm trying to put myself in that dad's shoes. And then my son is telling me X, Y, Z. And then I also try to put myself in the shoes of the 16 year old. Let's go back to 16 year old Willie C. If I had this rebellious, type of urge to go against something my parents felt strongly about.

Like if I was, if I was trying to do that dog with my, with my parents, with my dad, bro, they would have whooped my ass for trying. And then there would be, okay, they wouldn't whip my ass, but my dad,

if I pushed and rebelled and got to the point of, hey, I'm going to do it whether you like it or not. My dad would have whooped my ass. Yeah. Because you're, you're being disobedient. Yes.

And something that he was like a, he was like an amateur bodybuilder. like he worked out, he did all the things. So he would have knowledge in this to where he would not only have a strong opinion, but if I even had the cahonas to say, I'm going to do this whether you like it or not, that I can't even bring myself even to my 16-year-old state of mind to think that I would have the courage to say something like that. Because of that fear that you do have for your old man, like it would never get to that

point, but if it did, like I put up a funny response back. the look maxing I would have received from my old man saying, I'm going to do it whether you like it or not, buddy. He'd say I'll show you what the fuck look maxing is. And he'd fuck me up. I was about to say the quote unquote fear of God that was in me as a teenager, would it deterred that? My main note,

and I do not know enough about clavicular as an individual. He's like the person that is really, he's that influencer that does like the in real life streaming or something. Yes, IRL streaming. He's very much championed the looks maxing. He's championed like a lot of substance. Like he'll take meth for like stimulants and dieting and like a bunch of crazy stuff, regardless of clavicular.

Like push that to the side. This is a tale as old as time of every single generation. And we're now, we're now the parents. It's kind of crazy like being on the side of this where it's like, We're like, hey, what the hell of the kids doing? Because back in the day, it was rock and roll and dancing and wearing skirts. And, you know, my kid, you know, blah, blah, blah. Yeah.

Very different from taking steroids. Very different. But it is kind of like a, like, who are your kids idolizing? Slash, what kind of standard or what kind of life are you living that they would want to idolize, like, what's in front of them around the house being their mom or their dad, whether it's a great. it's a girl or a boy. And the fact that they are more willing to idolize and replicate a complete stranger on the internet over somebody that knows them very well and knows what's best for them slash that they love and see every day, it like it kind of shows the importance of not only

setting standards, but like setting an example and building that relationship with your kiddo. It sounds like this kid was just kind of, he was floating in the ether. If he's going to latch on to that, you know what I mean? Like he was pretty directionless if that's like where he's going. Right. I see what you're saying. I get what you're saying. Because obviously the saying my dad would fuck me up, there's some like some humor I'm having in that.

But knowing that that would have been like a real reality, but also it would have never gotten to that point with us to where I'm going. going against something that my parents feel strongly about, not because there's anything that I have. I just, now that I'm 36, now that I have a couple kiddos of my own, now that I look back or laugh or back, my old man would have did this to me. It's almost like, yeah, like you see why parents have to be firm and strong in protecting their child's, like, innocence for as long as you can,

because you could get, your kids could get off the path to idolize these certain individuals. and I don't know how much the parents are involved around. And I'm not going to say they're not involved. And I don't want to, yes. Like I see that, like when he's doing the interview, seeing that they're in a nicer house or this and that. So I'm just curious of how involved and how much everything kind of goes on and plays into this. Because to me, it just makes me think of this is,

this can be something that happens if you don't have that strong foundation, connection and everything with your kiddos. Yes. Because I'm like, man, it's a fear of, dude, I hope there's never a conference. Obviously, this is steroids. This is a masculine thing. for the boys and all that type of stuff. But even on the girls version,

I'm not getting into a spot where like Roo or Scotty is in this, I'm sure they'll have rebellious phases. Yes. But you want to keep their thumb on them so much to where it never gets to a point of where they feel like I'm going to do something whether you like it or not. And then I'm so handcuffed mentally as a parent of

you almost have to let this happen because what are you going to do? Like, dude, anytime I like got in a, had a like a rebellious moment of, I'm going to run away from home or I'm going to do something that's way out of character, way out of left field. My mom would literally look at me and say, go, I will help you pack your bags and get up from her chair and start going to my room.

Hey, which clothes do you want to take? And then some like fear sets in like I'm younger at this point. Yeah. I'm not 16. But it's almost like you almost have to be ready to cut them off. Hey, whatever you think you're trying to do, I will help you do. I will help you do that. And there's,

there's a point that obviously as a parent, you don't want that to happen. Yeah. But you almost have to position yourself in a way of, like I will cut you off from everything going on.

Like you live in our house. We pay the bills. We pay your tuition. We pay everything for you to live and function. All that's going to, hey, give me your phone. Like all this stuff's going to wait.

Go ahead. Go operate on your own. Yeah. See how far it takes you. But knowing that the bond and the love and everything is so strong. Like ultimately, I know when I'm,

I'm trying to, to think like if I'm a young kid and I'm having a rebellious moment to where I'm going to do X, Y, and Z. I think I'm strong enough to like, I'm going to stand up to my parents right now. Yeah, yeah. But behind it as such, has been such intention, love, bond, connection, protection, safety that, damn, they're really ready to just throw me out like that to where there's almost the fear kicks in, you stay. And then you kind of got them as a parent back where you want them, not in like a manipulative, negotiative type of way,

but that's essentially what it is. But if you're bonding, the foundation's not strong, it's almost like the kid will sit there and throw the gil back at you. You never do this. You never do that. Blah, blah,

blah, okay, I will do this all on my own. They go off and try to do it on their own, and then they're telling all their friends, yeah, I'm doing X, Y, and Z. I'm kind of homeless right now or I'm going to go stay with my buddies. I'm telling them what my parents did to me wrong

and yada, yada, yada. This is such a longer, more in-depth conversation. I'm kind of just spitting things. things out of to the ether right now. You're fine. And again, to like bring it back to a more concrete situation of like, you're my dad in this example. I am your son. Imagine all the steps that I have to take to your blind eye to get illegal prescribed steroids, have a friend group or somebody that I interact with that's very pro this, getting out of the house,

going to the gym and injecting myself with steroids and blah, blah, blah, like there's a lot of absence or blind eye that you would have to give for me to even get to those steps. Does that make sense? Yeah. Like it's not, very seldom does a kid wake up and go, you know what, do I'm going to start juicing. I'm going to start juicing today.

And like, I want to, I want girls to like me more. I want this to blah, blah, blah. And like the answer is steroids. Like, this kid has been searching for an answer for quite a while. And it seems like no structure and no answers were really being thrown his way at home. Tori's getting the answer from the influencers from the internet versus having an answers or a safety to talk about it at home. Boom. Or your parents having such a pulse on you to where maybe they notice something or the first couple weeks.

Yeah. Hey, buddy. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, buddy. I saw that you're working out, dude. That's awesome. Would you want to, you know, hey, I need to get in a little bit of better shape too.

Maybe we could start going to the gym, like stuff like that. What's been on your mind? What's been on your mind? Now we're talking. Because think about it from the terms of this, just seeing this. And again, we're assuming a bunch of stuff. But you see this video. Yeah.

If dad's having a hard time and there was, and he's probably thinking back of where did things go wrong, now that you're here, you have to accept the reality that it's currently. happening. Think of all the steps that you now have to take as a parent to carefully build back all these bridges to speak to them or to get to them in a way that they are now listening. It's going to take so much longer now on the back end or on this point moving forward because it wasn't, if you're able to look at yourself that closely as a parent to know, I didn't do the necessary things to where now it got to this point. And then you get into the regretful stage.

I wish I would have done this. I wish I would have done that. Why are you going to change it now? Now that you see that there is a massive problem that you're seeing in your household that you are with your boy and you are nervous about his health and safety. The kid just said,

if I die at 30, I die at 30. Like he's Ivan Drago and Rocky. If I have a heart attack. It's like he's Matt Rule before Adolphus. If we die, we die. Like he's to the point to where he's saying that in an interview. Yeah. Because I believe in looks maxing.

I believe in... That is capital T-tree. to him. It's almost a religion at this point. Yeah. Full buy-in. And I'll say this. Another great, healthy way, I sound like a therapist right now,

but I feel like a great healthy way to show that you care for your kid, to also be able to monitor them, keep tabs on them, is showing interests in things that just kind of come out of nowhere so that you can kind of know the direction of where it's going. Yeah. I love to. music as a kid and was, you know, doing piano and, but really hated the piano lessons.

And my mom instead of, you know, hey, mom, I want to quit piano. What instrument do you really want to play? You don't like piano. What instrument do you want to play? I was like, well, I really, I want to play the drums. Awesome. We're going to do this where you're going to do stuff around the house. You're going to get money for a drum set.

And let's get you some drum lessons so you can learn how to drum. I was like, hey, that's a, I like that idea. Let's do that. I did drum lessons for like four years. When jerking came out, teaching how to jerk, teach me, teacher. Brother, I got the high top bands. I got the skinny jeans, saving up money for it, going to the mall with my mom.

I got it, mom, I got to wear this stuff. And had cardboard boxes out in our driveway practicing one-handed, like, handstand, like, B-boy style dancing. Oh, yeah. And my mom's sitting there every step of the way going, oh, yeah, that's good. Oh, Sherman, you're getting so much better at it. And it's like, she's not fully like, you know, buying me these things or like telling me to go practice jerking the dance stuff. But she's showing interest enough to have a pulse on me of like, this is something that Sherman's into.

Hey, Sherman, would you want to take dance lessons? I was like, mom, you're crazy. That's like, no, that's the dumbest thing in the world. That would be so embarrassing. I'm not doing that. Yeah. But like she was there every step of the way to see where that tangent would go. I know that's very different from steroids.

But like when you have a pulse on your kid. No, yeah. You're right, bro. Like it's not like we woke up today and you want to come in and like shame this video, this kid or assume things about this family. Yeah, yeah. And obviously we sit there and now we have our opinions or we say our things. about the video, but ultimately it's like when I'm sitting there watching this video on my truck before I come into the shop.

Yeah. To me, it's like, these are things of fears you have as parents of like, God, I hope it doesn't get to this point one day with my kiddos when they grow up and they become teenagers. Nightmare. And it just shows me that if you, you aren't intentional about how you move with the majority of things in your kids' lives, like this is a ripple effect that could take place and happen. It's not like, hey, just naturally these things. Yeah, some little blips on the radar are going to happen throughout the course of all of parenthood.

Like, that's a fact. But to think, like, your kid can go fully off the rails and do this just spontaneously out of nowhere, I'm just saying that that's, to me, I'm calling bullshit because I'm thinking you can do so many different foundational things to where it honestly never even gets to this point. Yeah, there was no pulse on the kid. Because I see it and I react to my God, I would beat my son's ass if this. And then it's like, okay, well, let's peel back. Let's go through all the things.

things of like the regret you probably feel on the reaction of just wanting to fight him. Yeah. And be like, bro, what are you doing right now? This is terrible for you. This is unhealthy. Like, we've been around the park. I've been around the park a few times and know how bad this is for you. No, you're not going to do this.

But do you have such a strong relationship with them to whether they're actually hearing it or, oh, this is the first time my dad's ever taken interest in my life. And see, that's where we come in now is where the shit has hit the fan. and how your mom was able to go, okay, let's see how you do on your own. She's been there every step of the way with you and she knows how much she needs you, how much you need her,

the foundation that y'all have, the realization that you'll have in your head when you get to the end of the driveway with your overnight bags and you're like, what the fuck am I doing? You know what I mean? To where he doesn't have that.

So when kiddo is going, He's like, oh, shit. Like, he really will go. Because I haven't, I've been so out here. He truly doesn't need me and is on this path himself. So now I have to, like, come in and I'll help in any way. Oh, you need money for the steroids. Here's the money for the steroids.

As long as I'm still in your life. And you're grasping for straws at that point. Yeah. Yeah. Well said. Well said. Because his goal and safety and vision is now like, well, not is now. but it has been tied to like social media.

Yeah. Like the external, all the external things that he's feeding his mind with. These guys on my computer and on my phone, 100% have my back more than my dad does. That is, that is his mindset right now. These guys will tell me the way.

And my dad is such a fill in the blank that these guys aren't. These guys are the man. Yeah. Yeah. And that's going to, That's going to happen a million times over of like to bring it back to me again of like I thought the guys on YouTube in the hood doing these like teach me out of jerk videos were the coolest dudes on planet earth.

And I wanted to emulate that so bad. You with WWE. Like those guys, you're like, hell yeah, dude. Like these guys got it figured out. Every kid's going to have their idols and like being able to attach yourself to your kiddo and support them in those endeavors of drum lessons karate ballet track gym gym like whatever it is like being alongside them for it is like the healthiest way to navigate that yeah i don't know good convoy not an expert not an expert my kids nine months old i don't know

what i'm talking about she looks maxes scarlet does looks max however in a healthy way. In a healthy way. She's been wearing sunglasses recently. Have we talked about this? How adorable are sunglasses. Oh, dude. And Scarlett loves the sunglasses. Loves them. There's, dude, it's so fun throwing sunglasses on them. And I picked out this outfit, dude, and Chef has the assets. We, this is my crack a cold one. Dude, crack it open. Olly Pop. Thank you, Ollie Pop. Thank you, Shirley Temple. There's an actual. Go ahead, crack it.

Speak it. And not to give you extra work on the back end, chef, but this is my super crack of the cold one, 3,000,000, thousand, thousand. Don't worry for this one I will be adding it. This is a major crack a cold one. Because we did have, we went to Stokehouse, that's spelled H-A-U-S, the German Stok-Hoss spelling.

And it's a brewery slash barbecue place. And we did a little PT-6 get-together. was chef and Deke and myself and I brought Scarlett along it was Ruse's birthday. Okay. It was Ruth's birthday. I was going to say, well, PT friendship meetup. I know. Deke was busts my balls about a friend's

lunch that I missed and now I'm hearing that it's it was a PT6. That's for the dad's lunch. It was a sponsored olipop, nana cam, Wayfair. Boys get to know each other. Bring your daughter. Yeah. We all, we all had the safety glasses on. We watched Dan Gable video. You don't like these things,

do you? And just be clear this happened on Friday. This happened on Friday. Okay. It was happening around your daughter's birthday just to help you. We just did. Yes. And, uh, it dude, it's really, my crackicle one is I love that I've gotten to a place with

Scarlett through the challenges that I've received from Jill, from yourself, from other friends that have just lived life with their, I'm talking infancy, kiddos. Like getting out of the house with your little ones, I've now gotten to a place where I'm like, I'm going to Stokehouse with these guys to this brewery. No questions asked on bringing Scarlett. What do I need?

I need her bag. Oh, man, she's been loving sunglasses. She has those sunglasses. They're kind of like a burnt orange color, and she's got this little outfit I could throw on her mom's going to love that. I'll throw her in that outfit with the sunglasses. Oh, I'll get the high chair table that connects to the table. It's going to be easy.

I know she loves mac and cheese. Do they have mac and cheese? Dix's like, yeah, I'm pretty sure. Great. Then this is going to be an awesome endeavor. We had some adult bevvvvies. We're just having a time. And there was like zero stress to that situation.

And like not the pride, but just like the joy that I had of like walking in with my girl, like right there. And everybody in the little brewery that wasn't associated with us seeing her and like seeing their little face of like, my God. Oh my God. And you're like, yeah, dude, I got this cute kid. And like she's out in the world and we're living life. And like it was just awesome, dude. That's why it's a super mega crack a coal one 3,000. I love that.

And bonus to that. Were you about to cry? Don't you see the shine on his eyes? The shine for sure. sure, but not the, not this. It doesn't fully get there. Like you're composed. Yeah, yeah.

It's like the composure you have when tears are about to come. Yes. Got you. That muscle has been very much worked out in flex to where like I didn't have that before this show. Like this show has vastly helped me do not just go into cry mode. I cried quoting hardball, dude. Don't forget about that.

Dude, the story that crack a cold one that fires me up, and you should be proud, man. Because I do, I feel like, and we know this. When you're a new parent, a lot of times you feel so tied and locked to the structure and the scheduling of your kids to where your kids, because they do, your kids ultimately decide, like, what your decisions are going to be with everybody. Yes. But a lot of times you're so tied to, they have to do naps. Like, obviously naps, they should be doing naps.

But, you know, people are like, they have to nap in the crib. They have to nap at home. It has to be from one to three. It has to be, they have to eat their lunch at this time. It has to be this meal. It can't be a meal on the go. It has to be a bottle. It has to be a bottle.

Yeah. Like some things you have, your non-negotiables that you kind of prepare for when you leave the door and go out of the house. But just the freedom that you, where I'm like, dude, you should be super proud. The freedom that you have of just knowing I am going to go to lunch with the boys. Like you guys pick a time.

All of this time kind of goes in line where it kind of leaks into what nap time would be or what nap time is going to be. And then the thought of, just like, dude, I'm bringing the kiddo or I'm bringing the kiddos and they'll be able to nap a little bit in the car. If need be, what are all the things I need to bring? Because we're going to go and get out and they're going to be a part of my world

versus me just being so immersed and doing everything in their world to where I'm saying no to everybody else. And then I'm shutting. Then next thing you know, you have the anxiety and urge like, God, I've got to get out of the house. I feel like I'm in a prison. Stir crazy.

You stir crazy. Yeah, man. And what was, so fun is we had a great time chef had to get to something Deke and I stayed for like an extra 45 fish

and I totally missed Scarlet's bottle at 2 and so I looked at the I literally did a oh fuck like what time is it gosh you're grabbing for your keys

it was 2.45 and I was like I got to go I got to and then I was like oh wait no I packed her bottle I have all the stuff here she can just eat here and we'll push nap time and all that stuff and like being able to kind of go with the flow because you're confident or they've always only taken a heated bottle oh i forgot to heat the milk yeah yeah this is cold then your brain goes to let's see if they like some cold milk yeah then they try it they might drink it and be like oh snap i just kind of found a little dad hack for a little world say she doesn't like it then you're trying to figure out the pivot of we're inside of a restaurant hey i got my eight month olds is there any Any way I could get some hot water, any way to warm this up to where they do. And then they bring the bottle back.

And you just solved all the problems because you're just going with the flow. And like, hey, I need to find a way to make this happen. Yeah. Maybe you get to a total dead end. You might have to go home. Yeah. But no matter what, you're trying to like exhaust all options of being on the go. Like, Charles, we get so proud that Charles was big on we're going to travel with them.

We're going to, hey, if we're going to the farmer, like getting out of the house doing this, like they're going to adapt more to our world. the structures that we have around them to, we're going to need all the things that we need to go with them. And it is like, it is fucking hard at times. Like, it is shitty when you're on a flight and they won't calm down.

Or they need all these things and they're antsy or they're a busy body. Like all the shit that you go through to make some of your travel planes or vacations or weekends or having an afternoon. Like, for those things to happen, like, make no mistake. The shit is difficult. It is.

But now like Ruby. being four, like, she just feels so much more adapted to being a kid that, like, we're going to be on the go. We're going to be doing these things to where she's even thinking of things or Scotty might need this. Yeah. Or she communicates what she needs. But she's just so, she's getting so well versed and so adapted to us just being kind of a busy family or on the move at all times. So where now you're just like, you're happy that you did those things. Yes, dude. It is like a introduction into your life for the kiddos. So that you're adapting to their needs, but they're also adapting to your, because those will be their needs eventually, those needs for social interaction, for outdoor time, for hobbies that

like bring them joy. For just their curiosity and learning. Like dead at, why are we standing in the security? Why is it called a security line? Why do we have to stand here? Why are there so many people? What number do I have to look for? Like the gate?

Like, you know, she knows like her A, B. and she knows the one, two, three's, all that stuff to where you're like learning on the go with them. Like you're having these little fun moments. Hey, find gate. We're looking for B and a nine. You got to look up on these across these long ways. And try to find B9 for Dada. Well, why are they up there? And you're explaining to him why they're up there. People got to be able to see them. It can't be low because it wouldn't be able to be visible. What if they were down there? That way, like, let me pick you all the way up. You put them on your shoulder. You see how you can see all the way down the hallway. That's why they do this. Dad, why are you looking at the screen? Trying to see

where our checked baggage claim's going to be. What's checked baggage claim? Dude, all great question. Great question. Great question. But they're like, they're learning in real time and then the next iterations that you do where you're traveling. They almost, they start to get a foundation of like what the process looks like. And then it's just cool to see. Yeah, dude. They're going to grow. As cool as you see them kind of have the knowledge or learn or like ask the right questions. Oh, we do this. this dude you're right good job yes and there's so much education to be had in books and flashcards etc yeah we do flashcards y'all have a great little game um this was a while ago you'll might not even do it anymore with rue where y'all have this little game where uh charl was like now

rue look outside is it sunny is it overcast is it kind of cloudy and she puts oh she had a little busy board yeah and well what time is it okay you put it on this time and there was like what day of the week what day of the week is it um yeah the degree range outside and the degree range like how hot is it going to be yeah fine in the 60 finding the 70 like there there's stuff to be learned inside but then like the real life application of it of getting out of the house even when they're little and i am no expert but like everybody all of my closer ins were like There's no shot in hell that you're going to Waco, Texas for Auburn Baylor with an eight week old. You are a psychopath.

You're a psycho. And it's not going to happen. And I'm so glad that we did it because it really did set that benchmark of if we were able to do that when she was eight weeks, we're on cruise control. As far as like how much easier this gets. And it does. Jill's like we said, she stole my daughter away from me this week. again. Yeah, and you just, you get like, again, it's like, dude, you should be proud. It's like as parents, you just get proud of yourself because you did challenge yourself to do.

Like, hey, you're a psych, oh, we shouldn't do that? Why shouldn't we do that? And they kind of tell you maybe some good reasons why I get that. Maybe you pivot back to where you don't do the thing because, hey, I wasn't thinking about all these things. Or you see it as like, oh, I like her chances. We'll figure it out. And to you, we are not experts. It's your kid. Your kid is susceptible to stuff at eight weeks, totally good if you're not going to travel for those reasons.

And that's very smart of you. Like, I'm not saying you're a good parent if you do one or the other. Yes. Zero. Zero. Like, Charles was listening last week and she was like, what did you say about how Scarlett like drops your passy on the floor or can't put it back in her mouth? Where was she?

At the airport. At the airport. And Charo and I were laughing like, we kind of just let it ride when it hits the ground and put it back. in. But then if you're like, Johnny on the spot is an extreme example. But if you're in a very dirty, like, if it's like in a bathroom or in a stall and it hits the way, like clean it off. But I'm thinking, yeah, like in the middle of an airport, like in the middle of the airport, it drops on the ground. Hey, pick that back up. Like, get it back in. Hey, and there's a thousand different

ways of skinny cat. The amount of times I've done. Yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, Wifie's standing right there. I'm in the airport. Oh, yeah. Oh, we got an extra one. in the bag. You're right, honey. Yeah. Like right now we're trying to, speaking of the thousand different ways of skin a cat, we're showing Rue, like we had a shepherd's pie last night.

You know in Shepard's Pie, you got the ground beef, you got the peas, you got the carrots, you got the mashed potatoes, and it's all kind of mixed together. Rue's not like, she identifies something that in her brain, she's not liking that we have to go to Daniel Tiger. It's fun to try new things because it might taste good.

What would Daniel Tiger say? Because she's like, you know, she's, for whatever reason, doesn't like peas. Or since carrots are cut in a small little way, she doesn't like carrots. Dude, you don't know what you like. You got to try it.

Because she would heat the beef. She likes the beef, but she's kind of picking through it. I'm just like, come on, like, just scoop it up. You want to mix the mashed potatoes in it. See how you take the fork and you kind of stir it.

It makes it a little creamy and dreamy. Scoop it up. I promise you, you won't taste the peas. You won't taste the carrots. You will taste the ground beef that you're tasting and a little bit of those mashed potatoes that you like. Ayo. We're trying to get her to do it,

but Charles, like, A lot of ways of skin a cat, sweetheart. And I'm like, oh, to you? She said it. She was saying it to Rue. Oh, to Brue. She said it to Rue. Because Rue wanted to try something.

She was like, yeah, sweetie, you can do that. A lot of ways of skin a cat. And I just kind of chuckled to myself. I'm like, Rudy, do you know how to skin a cat? See me and the boys back when I was growing up. Tied firecracker. Maybe. Honey, honey.

I'll teach you one day. Now you want bedtime story. Like, we talk about, but bro, I had a, Oh my gosh. I had a tweet a post over the weekend where I couldn't believe Rue had turned. Oh, let me see here. Where Rue had turned four. You kind of had a self-reflecting moment.

Yeah. Just to continue to fill space. Continue to fill space. Is that your crack a cold one this week, by the way? Rue turned a four? Yeah. Absolutely, bro. And Easter A-Con.

So we'll get into Easter A-Guns. And I want to learn about. The nana conversation. My post was, I can't believe my daughter just turned four. Time goes by way too fast and I absolutely hate it. I know I have a ways to go, but my takeaway so far, the worst part about being a parent is watching them grow up. Obviously, we talked about that in depth a little bit last week on last week's episode. It's not the tantrums, not the late night wake-ups, not having to go back up to her room for 30 minutes to talk to her about how wolves won't attack her while she sleeps.

That's on me for including mean wolves in her make-believe story. but essentially cherish every moment. It goes way too fast, but going back up to talk to her about wolves and story time and skin and cats to bring it all the way back around. We're now in this phase to where she doesn't want books currently right now

for like the last, I would say week. She wants stories from us, like make-believe stories. Which kind of challenges you as a parent. Yeah. Because now you're legitimately trying to story tell how many stories can you just make up in your brain? I'm tying it to, okay, I'm like,

what characters do you want to be in it? She always wants Tygie. She always wants Princess Surulian in the story. So I just grab any Disney movie that I have, Lion King. That's genius. Bugs Life, Tangled.

Angels in the outfield. It could be angels in the outfills. Ones that, like, you know well that you've seen a lot, that you remember back in the day. And then you just insert. said characters, then they make up all the other characters.

But once you wanted it to be a mountain, Princess Erulyan, Zui, that was a name we kind of made up in one of the stories. Zui, Tygey, Tyge's friends. But Tyge's friends got to be the bad guys. Oh, because there's got to be bad. But she's kind of giving me a lot of parameters to where it kind of cuffed me to

how I could storytell. Sounds like the producer needs to get out of the riding room. Kind of like, hey, riders, riot. You produce. Yes. I need to implement that standard. Yeah, yeah. But it got it to where I basically did the Bugs Life story to where they go off,

Princess Aruling and Tagi, they have to deliver food to Thai. Or not Princess Ruling and Zui were the good guys in the story. She wanted TIGI to be a bad guy with his friends. Okay, okay. Tyge was a hopper, the bad guys in Bugs Life. So Princess Surulian, she wanted the town to be called Beautiful, to where there's beautiful trees, beautiful grass, beautiful flowers. So I have to involve this entire story of once upon a time, there's Princess Cirulian and Zui.

And they lived in this place called Beautiful, trees, grass, flowers. And they lived the happiest life ever. But the only thing they had to do to continue to live happy was to deliver food once a month to Tyge and his bad guy friends. Every month, Tyge and his bad guy friends would come in and they would collect the food that Princess Surulian and Zui would round up with everybody in the town, all the people, all the animals, all the insects. They'd round up the food, deliver it to have it set now for Tygey and the bad guys. Yep. Tyge and his friends.

They'd pick it up and they'd go on their way to one day, all the food, they set it out, and this big gust of wind came through. Are you guys familiar, pretty good with the Bugs Life? Are you guys sticking, are you staying with me at home right now? Hopper's tagline, what's right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm a Bugs life.

We're the main character in Bugs Life. I forget his name, but he's out there. Something like flip or... Yeah, yeah. Something like that. Flick, there we go. He like messes up and hits like the rock and all the food falls down into the river. I'm just, there's no flick in this one.

The wind picks it up, blows it away. So Zui decides she's going to go off on her own to find some friends from a nearby town to gather some food. Those friends' names, I'm like, what do you want those friends name to be? She was like, hook. Boom. Great flick, by the way. Dean. Dean.

The dude, Dean. Yeah, dude D. And bear. Let's go! But as she's going to the town, she has to go through a forest. In the forest, I'm thinking, all right, what scary things could be in the forest? Because this is a journey. You got to take them on a journey.

You have to. All my brain thought of was wolves. And all of a sudden, she's in the, she's in the forest. She sees the town light from down the road. It's dark out. And all she's sudden she hears. And she's like, she kind of like leans up out of bed. No.

And then, then Zui hears. will start chasing Zooie. Zui's running. Hook, Dean, and Bear are at the end by the line. Hey, just get to us. We'll save you from the wolves. No. They make it to them.

They save him from the wolves. The wolves run back in there. Zui tries to break down. Hey, here's what I need help with. We got to gather food for Tyge. Because Tyge made a visit and said, if you don't deliver food, I'm like, I can't say I'll kill you. So I'm like, we'll throw you in a cave and trap you there forever.

Oh, no. So Zui's breaking it down to all of the friends in this town, this nearby town. They're like, Dean. Hook and bear Hey, we'll help you. We will help you. Yes. The stipulation, they got to go into the force and gather all this food. I'm just naming all Roo's favorite foods like yogurt,

meat, eggies, oatmeal, meat sticks, bananas, blueberries, all over there, gathering all the food. Shepherds by. Jeffords by. But then the wolves found. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news.

We created our own podcast. Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a... 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 did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers 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. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy,

Sound, Zui, Bear, Hook, and Dean. Now you need a sacrifice in this moment's story. How are they going to get out of the forest?

Don't do Dean. Don't sacrifice Dean. Zui, Dean, and Hook were going to continue and run. Bear was going to sacrifice himself. She wanted bear to growl and roar at the wolves. Yeah, bro. And so bears, like, you guys go, I'll stay back. He's having his heroic moment in the hero's journey.

While they save themselves, they go to Princess Ruling, they have the food, they're all happy. Hey, Zui, Hulk, Dean, why are you guys sad? We lost Bear. But meanwhile, in the forest, no. Bear defeats. Yeah, Bear defeats the wolves.

And right when they were trying to live happily ever after, and Zui and the forest. Hook and Dean they were still sad. Out walks Bear. He made it. Please tell me you got Skrilla playing on your phone as you go. Out of the forest. They hear a subtle music.

Bears just slow-mo coming out of the brush. God. So I crushed that story. Will, you crushed that story. Roo was leaning up out of her bed, like hitting all the moves. So I tuck her in and we lay. She's asking all the questions. about the story. Why are they a bad guy? Well, you wanted them to be a bad guy. So I had to kind of,

that kind of had to be their role. Go downstairs, Roo starts crying. Mom goes up. Mom comes down. Hey, what story did you tell her? Did you talk about wolves? It's like, yeah, I was kind of just thinking on my feet. I needed a, I needed a moment of adversity while they were trying to go through the forest. And all I could think about were the wolves. And she's like, well, now she's scared of wolves. Like, she sees shadows on the wall. The sound light, the sound machine, the light's too bright. So I have to turn down the sound machine. because she's scared of the shadows. She thinks the wolves are going to get her.

And I'm like, oh, you live and you learn. Then 15 minutes later, Roos starts crying again. I go up there because I'm like, all right, I did this. Roo's scared because she has so much fear that she can't get out of her bed to turn up the light because she can't see anything now. And she's scared of all the walls being black. And so I got to lay there with her, talk to her about wolves. Hey, no wolves are going to get you in the house.

There's no wolves in the house. There's no wolves in your room. There's no wolves in the house. There's no wolves outside. And she's like, but there are wolves are. in the forest. I'm like, oh, there's wolves in the forest, like far, far away. But sweetheart, it's all make-believe. Like, Dad-Daz's just telling stories. Dad-Had has just doing make-believe. I'm pretending. There's no wolves even close to us. Yeah. Our wolves black, white, gray, brown,

black. Yeah, yeah. That doesn't matter, by the way, color doesn't matter. Wolves are in the forest like we have forests outside. Sweetheart, those are just trees. Well, all the trees, they're close together. So it's like a forest. That's a great point. But they're not. They're, sweetheart, you got to go to sleep. no wolves. There's no wolves. Chef had a great point too. Chef had a great point about the wolves. Because I was telling Jeff about this yesterday.

Yeah, I got to fix. I told Will, first thing he needs to do is say, sweetheart, I am a wolf. They're good and bad wolves. So you just want to stay with him bad wolves. And then the forest part, you go, no, that's the woods. That's just the woods. The forest is deep. The forest is far. It's no homes around the forest.

A lot of volume in the forest. There's a lot of dense. The forest is a special place. That's just the woods behind. behind the house. Yeah. Forest, Canada, woods, America. Yeah.

Are we in America still? Oh, it's just the woods. Oh, are we in Nashville, Tennessee? Oh, it's just the woods. It's just the woods, sweetheart. Hey, go to sleep. Well, Chef had the exact same idea as me. And not to like bring levity just for a laugh,

but I really would have loved to see you pull up your, whoever made that like real, rudimentary highlight tape of you with like the intro where it's just the text on screen of your NFL highlights. It's like Will Compton, number 51, the wolf. And it's like the image of a wolf and you being like, like coming out of the smoke.

And truly being like, your dad is a wolf, but I'm a good wolf. And look how I took care of all these other wolves. Like I think that would open something up for her of, hey, I'm like, oh, my dad can turn into a wolf. Yeah, my dad, well, he can turn into a wolf. But he's a good wolf. A good wolf.

He's a good wolf. He's a good one. And maybe she's too young for them. You solved this before. One of my first episodes, we had a caller call in how his kid thought they had a monkey in the room. And we said they should put out anti-monkey stickers. Oh.

And so I'm just saying it sounds like an anti-wolf sticker situation. Yeah. I forgot about that. And wolf spray, dude, with the aerosols. That's what I need to go to. Yeah, dude. Wolf spray with the airsoles. When you're doing story time instead of books, you're taking way longer doing story time because

you're having to like think. on your feet the whole time. I'm caught up and I got to have like these moments of like keeping her on her toes. Yeah. And it takes so long and then they want to have a recap of the entire story. So you just get to where you're run down after doing bedtime for a certain period of time. You're going down ready to kick your feet up. Now she's crying. She's scared. Okay, I did this. Let's go put these fires out. But I need to, I need to flip the switch. Mike's secret stuff, dude. Go to Walgreens. Get a cleaner spray bottle. Tape over it. Wolf spray. Water. in there. Surprise her tonight. Honey, look what I got at the store. I think one last point is when

you're doing a story like this, always give a descriptor of like a far, far, far away land. This happened, this happened far far away. This doesn't even exist around me. That's that way you can, you can say whatever you want in the story and go, no, that's the forest and blah, blah, blah. It's far far. It's, we'll never even go there. Next thing I know she'll, she'll have me up with her glum, globe in the room and be like, can you show me where? Yeah, you're all right. It's over here in Japan. You're opening some more doors. But I think that's a good, like, you're putting the expectation first that, hey, this is not anywhere.

This is in Tennessee. Yes, sweetheart. This is in Ukraine. You know what I mean? And will, I would be remissed if, I'm being so sincere in this. We brought up Stokehouse, the barbecue place shout out. No free shout out. Yeah, no free shoutouts.

A lot of people, we've been seeing comments. Hey, when are you going to let Jeff talk about his turkey? When are you going to let him talk about the truck? I would love to let chef talk about the pulled pork at Stokehouse if we have a brief moment for it. Is that okay? Am I getting the green light? Oh, is he getting the green light?

Is he getting the green light? Green light's mean go. You're getting the green light, chef. All right. Seaman Team 6, PTC, we are all. I want to hear about the pool. Derek invited me to this place. And I had no clue that Derek had not been there.

is he's been on a run. There's no other way to say it. He's on a heater. We show up, this place is very unassuming. Now, we'll say I'm going to walk in. They had an offset smoker sitting in the side that looked like it was 300 years old.

That's a good sign. Now, and also, let me preface, I take a lot of pride in my barbecue. I take a lot of pride in, uh, rating it and caring about it.

And I, I take very much pride in how I rate places. Giving it the love and respect it deserves. Will this place. Limited menu. All it does in meats is pull pork. Memphis style pork ribs and then on Saturday Sundays they do brisket. Am I correct in that?

It's a very Texas style brisket too. Yeah, it is. I didn't. The brisket, it was Friday so they didn't. They weren't doing the brisket. I got a half pound of pulled pork. And that's my go-to. I'm a pool pork guy like Carolina style, like a vinegar sauce.

Come on. It's the best. I've been thinking about the slaughter over the weekend. It is the best pulled pork in Tennessee. Oh. And I don't say that lightly. they do a heavy bark over it and what they do is they soak it in a vinegar

and that gives it this juice and this tang it's my kind of style I'm not as much on the sweet barbecue I like to have the tang in it did that and my next favorite thing in barbecue is Memphis style dry rubber ribs and they had some of the best I wouldn't put them over like a rendezvous in Memphis

but I mean overall I was shocked limited menu too the mac and cheese is great curly fries were incredible plantains Yes, smoked plantains. Talk to. It was the smoke house and I was, I was floored. I think Derek and my reaction, I was kind of like in a shock. I didn't know what to say during it.

Derek unfortunately missed my favorite part of chef's experience. Chef was doing a review on Snapchat. Were you recording yourself with Snapchat? He was recording himself with Snapchat as he was taken bites of will. And I swear to God, this is how fast his rating of the pool pork was. it's recording himself he goes pull pork looks pretty good let's get a bot

7 out 10 that fast 7 out 10 7 out 10 7 I think he's I don't remember the number I don't remember the number I gave it a number

I don't know if I gave it a number Maybe I'm wrong But the review You might have just been lost in the experience I was lost the experience I was just watching chef work The review was as fast as Dave Portanoi giving a pizza 0.0

You know when he like doesn't it Yeah I mean, he was flat on his ass. And I wonder if it's recent. He biased. Like that's where I've been, there's a place in East Tennessee

called Ridgewood. That's up in Johnson City. Old Gus's Mountain Pit, Sweetwater, Tennessee. Those are places that have high. I'm wondering, like, do I need to go back and retry? And then there's places out east to Memphis's and Jackson.

So it's a, but man, I was, I was shocked. I was very happy. Will, we got to. I know it's your daughter's birthday, but you can.

Yeah, hell yeah. We should have found a way. Three for three. Three for three. Deak is, Deke's not hot. He's burning. Yeah. Yeah. We have another special guest.

We are talking about me owning the garage at this new house, and that also involving Jill's car. The best thing we ever did is use mobile services as much as possible. I have my oil chain service come to my house,

and by the time I'm done loading the dishwasher, my car's ready to roll. Same goes for the detailer schedule. for every 60 days. Such a lifesaver, and I don't have to even think about it. Oh my God. And I know that those prices are... You can get a mobile oil changer?

this is a new dad. Nick Sponsiller. Sponsler. Hey man, found the for the dad's podcast the Wednesday after I found out my then-fiancee. It was pregnant. Me and my boys were on a golf trip the night before we came home and I had a dream that I was going to have triplets. I got home. What?

And she set three positive pregnancy tests in front of me. I dead-ass looked her in the eye and said, does this mean we're having triplets? Fast forward. I have a little girl that was born on March. 26, 2026 at 3.22 a.m. Labor is a process. And wow, what the women do is truly amazing. My wife, we got married, courthouse for the wind, pushed for five hours, had to do an emergency C-section so I couldn't be there at the time. My daughter was born. My wife was under anesthesia, so she shows she couldn't even hold her. Now five days with this little one and she is our whole world.

Your guys' podcast has been awesome in preparation and through the unknowns, the hard times and the ups and downs already. I just think of you guys and have love for the show. Fucking love you guys. And proud to be a part of Papa Team 6. And yes, she's been deep asleep in my arms writing this while the wife is getting some rest. Rock on, boys. Come on. He's already diving in, dude.

I have Justin Doherty, 7469 on YouTube. He says, the going home bundle would be a good idea for sure, I think. But we need some boy dad merch. Justin, we'll look into it. We'll look into it. We're looking into it. We're looking into it. That's a good way to phrase it.

Yeah, we're looking into it. I have a hubby shout out here from Gracie Heflin on Instagram. Hi. I was wondering if you guys could do a shout-out for my fiancé on his birthday on April 11th. It's the 7th. O.C.8. So people are listening. Three days.

He's turning 32. Could you guys shout him out on the podcast? You released just before his birthday. He is a first time dad. We welcomed our baby girl Beckham in July of 2025. We listen to your podcast weekly and look forward to them so much. His name is Skyler Brownlow. Brownlow, Brownlow, Brownlow, B-R-O-W, L-O-W, Brown-L-W.

That seems like Brown-L-L-L-O. And he's easily the greatest dad and partner in the world. If you could shout him out and let him know that Grace and Beckham love him so much and we are so proud of him, it would mean so much to me and him. I want him to feel incredibly special. Thanks for reading. You guys rock. Well, Gracie, it seems like this is a comment we would read and then just shout him out on our own naturally.

But just reading your comment all the way through, it feels like we just, we knocked it all out of the park. A quick note from her, I try when people send those in to match them up with the episode. She sent that in the beginning of March. So she had this in the chamber. So I actually asked Gracie. I said, hey, can you DM us back closer to the episode? to remind us. Remind.

And she hit me up yesterday. You know what you are? You're an uncle that cares. He is an uncle that cares. WTPB.com. How now Brown Lau? How now Brown Lau? How now Brown Lau?

Oh, Skyler Brownlow. Dude, happy birthday. Happy birthday, Skyler. You are a sicko. A, Skyler, for your birthday, two fun coupons. Oh, what did those go to? Shockwave and put a bow on it. Oh, what's that entail?

Happy birthday. Happy birthday. They listen to our podcast weekly. They know what it entails. Oh, what is it? If I'm a new listener and I'm new to the show, what is that? Let's put a bow on it. What's Shockwave?

Shockwave is that amusement park you walk into. You go on the biggest ride. You have two minutes of absolute fun highs and lows and then rest after that. Is it okay if it's a 30 second? Very okay if it's a 30 second roller coaster. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Just I have a buddy that has. has a season passed.

Yeah. He was worried. If he was wondering. Okay. You get on that ride. You take it for a spin. Yeah. And you get yourself some rest.

Yeah. And what's put a bow on it? What's that? The biggest ride is shut down. The biggest ride is shut down. Yeah. Free maintenance. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. And you go over to the little shop where Wiifi works at. And you say, I got a coupon. can you put a ball on it? I know the big one shut down for a few days. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Put a ball on it.

And you put a bow on it. And that's fine. So Skyler gets both of those? Yeah, yeah. Happy birthday, Skyler. And thanks for writing, Gracie. Yes, thank you, Gracie. God, poor Gracie.

Devin Ardnson on Spotify said APR. And just a reminder, we had our superpowers that we went over in our Reddit discussion. After Pod Report. One of them was the magic hum. That was the one that you wanted as a superpower. This was Devin's APR from his wife. Anytime in the future when you need to say the phrase, magic hum, be sure to emphasize the H in hum.

Magic gum. Up until we put the graphic on screen, a lot of people wrote in that they assumed that superpower had magic. Shockwave excrement. A little magic gum. A little magic gum. Which is the one that you put a bow on it. That's what the bow.

Put a bow. That's the little ride that you can hit. The magic hum. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds about right. That sounds about right. For any, it's always sunny in Philadelphia fans that remind me of the boy's soul from the musical.

Oh. Oh, we have an oly pop that just came in fresh. Has anyone tried this? flavor. We were thinking maybe Tropical bunch. We just haven't tried it on the show yet. And we have three of them. I haven't tried tropical bunch. So do a little of twist my arm.

Reminds me of a of an old old nostalgic drink. An old familiar feeling. An old familiar feeling. Makes you feel like you're writing on a surfboard in the waves. Just red flavor all around you. I'm almost like that excitement is in my mouth with this drink.

Yeah. Into the year pool party. Yeah. Like you're a little kid and you're ripping around the pool. The foundation of jungle juice. Just kidding. We're joking. We're joking. It's just a joke.

That is. It is very good. Boys, that's a Fiji K. That might be my number one. Oh, we got number one. Yeah. Chef.

The SD6ers out there. Number one, Tropical Punch. I got a month of military children. Are we excited? So we dive into the MOMC? Yeah, the military families. Thank you guys for your service. Hi, PT Sickos.

This is Celeste Gonzalez. I've recently become a Milk Team Sixer over here. Thanks to my husband. My name is Celeste and my husband, Jacob Gonzalez, and I love listening to y'all's podcast together. It's become one of our favorite hobbies. I've literally stocked him up on all of your merch, all in caps lock. Dude, shout out.

Celeste, thank you. BWTV.com. just wanting to give him a shout out on your pod for being the best dad of our two baby girls Olivia and Chloe. We also have the girl curse. I died when Will was chanting about break the girl curse. Literally lives rent free in my head.

Ha ha ha. He's such a good husband, selfless, patient, loving, and so much more. We just got stationed in Germany. He's a canine handler in the army. We were definitely excited to travel, but also nervous since this is our first this is our first PCS as a family.

I'll look into it. PCS? Yeah, look that up. This is our first PCS as a family. I want to say thank you for spreading positivity and being a dad in parenthood because it is truly a blessing to raise kids with someone you love. Your podcast gives us so many laughs and positivity in the way you all parent, especially being girl dads too. Thank you, Celeste Gonzalez. PCS stands for permanent change of station. It's an official non-optional relocation for military personnel, typically lasting two or four years. moving service members to new duty stations. So that is a permanent change of station. They were restationed in there for two to four years. And that could be from California to Florida. I mean, you could go clear across and overseas. And yeah, they just got stationed in Germany, bro.

Yeah, dude. What a change that would be. That's the one where it's just like you're obviously tied to that career. And it's like, you can't do anything but embrace it. Right. If you want to keep, when she talks about the positive attitude and parenting, and being a partner and all the things, like you have a sudden change like that,

that can't be easy whatsoever. Yep. And we're going to go live in Germany for two to four years. Yeah, in a foreign country. Oh, you love your school and you love your friends at your school. Hey, guess what? Get ready to sprecking the Deutsch. We're going to Germany.

Which Opa would love that. Opa would love that. Opa would love that. Hit the, what is it, in Munich, the Hofbra house in Munich. Oh, really? You've traveled to Germany. I didn't even know that. I went to Germany when I got my sports hernia surgery. Oh, that's right. Went over there, got a sport hernia surgery.

I was there for a couple days. But we at the Hopper house, walked all like the cathedrals, all the steps, like immersed ourselves in Munich, Germany. That's sick. It's a little key fun. I'm sure they're going to have great members and they're going to have a lot of fun doing it. Just saying like a sudden change like that and thinking about it all this little gray space of anxiety and fears and nerves that you live in until you start to get acquainted with the new scenery. Yes. With this being the month of military children,

I want to make sure to highlight Taylor, but for time purposes, Will is traveling later today. I'm just going to quickly summarize what Taylor wrote to us. He served for 23 years in the Navy. Shout out Taylor. So this is not only a PT sicko, but a PT sicko with a lot of game.

and something that he wrote in his email that I loved, as he said, if for dads, they're in the military, something that they need to hear. If you're in like your child's life, be in it. And if you are home, be home, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. I know that there's probably a lot of stuff that's on these guys and gals brains when they are off, you know, not off duty, but in the reserves or back home. or whatever. And I love that Taylor gave that note for some game.

We also asked people to list their favorite barbecue sauce at the end of last episode. Taylor was kind enough to say, P.S. Head Country Barbecue Sauce. Nice. Love always from Taylor Himes. That was on Facebook. Thank you for writing in, Taylor. Yeah, Taylor.

Thank you for your service. All those words. And you can like, obviously we don't know. We're not in the military. So when he's speaking to the military on, hey, if you're home, be home. if you're present, be present. Yeah. But I feel like you do get an iteration or example of in some of these movies that you get to watch.

Like American Sniper. Oh, my God. You're Bradley Cooper's home. And all he can think about is he's got to be back. He's got to be back over there with his boys. Or like, you know, when the husband comes home and they're just like so wrapped up and everything else except being home. Yeah. Like, hey, your daughter, she just wants you.

Your son, he just wants you to be here. You're never present. You know, all those little. Oh, yeah, and I'm sure that there's probably a bit of that. I know that Rood didn't overlap too much with NFL, but I'm sure that there's probably a lot of that too with all the NFL guys that you have on the pod, just hearing what it's like being in a professional sport

and feeling so deprived from your kids. Those guys are still seeing their kids at least once a week, twice a week. Imagine these guys that aren't seeing their kids for months, years. Yeah, man. Dude. I can never, I can, I feel like I could never. never do it. And serving something that's so much bigger than themselves, the amount of military affiliated listeners that we have on this podcast, dude, it's really cool. What a awesome

community to be not a part of, but like to feel like we have gotten to know them more and more have gotten closer with them and that they love this pod. That's pretty cool. Yeah. And that's great advice for anybody who's in any career that they love. Obviously the jobs are vastly different. Yeah. But the concept of being present, being at home, being when you're with your kids, be with your kids. Like that's great advice for literally everybody. Because we all have jobs we love. We all have jobs. We sacrifice a light for. We sacrifice a lot for where at times you're at home. Like I'm guilty of this as well. To where you're thinking about work or you're thinking about the next thing. You're so wrapped up in it or you're on your phone to where you're not present or you're not there.

or wife you might say something to you, or you just catch yourself, or you just kind of know recapping your day or your weekend about where your mind has just been off, you know, trying to solve a different problem versus just being at home, being intentional at home.

To that point, I have a dad act in my hand that I want to get to. I do have a loss that I feel like I need to get off my chest. I hinted at you very briefly yesterday, but mind was somewhere else, and I had maybe the worst attitude possible dropping Jill and Scarletoff at the airport on Saturday morning. Oh, really? Yeah, it was bad.

It was really? Yes, dude. I was being such a loser about it as far as Jill had three roller bags. I'm dropping her off at like 5 o'clock in the morning. I'm making it in my head. I'm not talking out loud. I'm like, can't believe I'm having to do this. blah blah blah I'm gonna drop them off not even thinking hey she has three roller bags and an infant she might

need you to park and like go in with her not just drop her off and so I'm like oh okay I'll drop you off here she's like you're not gonna park and go in with oh yeah yeah yeah I'll go in then the morning shit hit me on the way into the airport and I'm walking like a dog you're working on your three piece I'm working on my three pieces I'm working on my three pieces I'm working on my three I'm walking like a duck. I'm not even walking with Jill and Scarlet. I'm speedwalking because I'm like, honey,

I got to get to a bathroom. Hey, I'm getting her all flustered. There's these huge lines for the bag drop off. I leave her bag in the wrong line for the wrong airline. And she's like, you know, 100 yards away catching up to me in the Nashville airport.

Honey, hey, you get your bag. I got to go. I went to the bathroom. dropped. Oh, she's facetimbing me right now. Do I answer it? Do you? I don't know. You can answer.

Hi, honey. You're on for the dad's right now. I'm recording. Hey, Jill. Hi, honey. Yes, we're recording. Yes, we're recording. I'm so sorry. Hey, Jill, it's okay.

We're talking about how much of a loop. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Jill, Jill. We're talking about how much of a loser Sherman is when he dropped you off at the airport at five in the morning. Yeah, it was bad. She said, yeah, it was bad. Jill, do you mind picking up from the story of me dropping your bag off in the wrong line and running off to the bathroom?

Would you want to take it from there? I want to spend time with my husband, and he, like, gets in the line, and he puts scarlet on top of the suitcase, which is, like, cute. And we're like, oh, this is so fun. And then he walks away, and I was like, oh, Sherman, like, make sure you're watching her, like, put your hand on her back. 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. 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.

He didn't talk like that to me. So I was like, oh my gosh. Like I was so embarrassed. I was just, we did not do hugs by. We just said, see you later.

You can think about what she did. I tried to hug her and she said, uh-uh, not after that display. That girls like that. I can't believe you made everybody around you gasp. Yeah, that's Wait, what do you think? I said, I can't believe he made everybody around gasp. Yeah, no, literally the two women behind me, they were older women,

and we were like talking about Scarlet, and when he said that they were like, and they like looked at each other. It was bad. It was bad. It was not a good character moment. God damn. It was a bad dad loss, dude. Why'd you have so many bags, real?

It was fun. And the note, honey, that I mean, that. I wrote down. Hey, Jill. Jill, why did you have so many bags? Sherm said you had six roller bags. Half. It was three.

Oh. Sure. Sure. Jill, you know how Sherm likes to exaggerate. Three's a little tragic. A suitcase for her. Suitcase for me. And then I bring a roller bag because I know last time you all talked about that.

So we do roller bag now. And I have all of her toys and stuff because it's just me solo. So I need a lot of. And that's a great idea. Yeah. you go prepared. That's a great idea. We're prepared. Yes.

Yes, ma'am. Jill, the note that I have from, we have the after pod report that we call the APR, and the note that I had from you, which was on my screen, was to be a gentleman. I need to be a gentleman. I need to treat you as such. I like that. I think that's a good goal. I think that's a good goal. Jill, sweetheart, how's he doing with his three peas? Not good. Oh, what? You're not doing good?

Honey, are you being for it? Like, I didn't know that you told him about this for you. Honey, I have been doing better at that. She don't listen to the block. I can hear it well. Okay. I love you, but no. Oh.

It's not. You have no idea what you just did to me. Slash, like, I've been like putting a conscious effort. What you did to yourself, Sherm. Yeah. Hey, no, you know, hey, you know what? You might have been disgusting. Now you're just disgusting.

Now I'm just gross. Oh, yeah, maybe you're gross. Now I'm just gross. And honey, actually, I think you're right. And there's plenty of room for improvement. And I need to continue to get better. Nice. I agree.

I agree. First, we can talk about the attitude. Then we'll go to the three piece. Yeah. Yes, ma'am. Yeah. Beautiful. Okay, let's all have so much fun.

See, we're going to drink our papa. Bye, Scott. into it. I'll look into it. I love you, honey. I love you, Skorke, go. Hi. Oh, dude, look at that. Can we dismiss our dad? I know. I'll face-time you after, honey. I love you so much. Okay. Bye. I love you. Bye. What a piece of shit you are. Disrespectful. Not a gentleman.

Disgusting. Well, gross now. scaring scaring everybody in the airport scared the old women they gasped I'm surprised they didn't leave

they wanted to do I saw it in their eyes like I really affected their whole week the way I spoke to my wife I love the way that she told the story I wish I had footage of it

that I walked away from the suitcase which I did I did I believe hey listen I walked away I just let her

to just sit on that suitcase and I said, good luck, don't fall. What was I thinking? We've heard your side. We've heard her side. There's obviously the truth out there that we'll never get to. But when you get home, you'll talk about the attitude first and then the three peas. And then the three peas.

That really broke my heart. The three peas broke my heart, dude. I could kind of feel it because I wasn't excited. I was just kind of just being funny. Like, how's he doing with the three peas? And I was elated that you asked. And she was like, oh, I can't believe you guys. He actually talked about three peas on the,

pod. And then she's like, not good. It just sad. It kind of saddens me, but what are you doing on this toilet? That's what I'm saying, dude. That's what I'm saying. Because now, like, the conscious effort is there. And, like, it truly is a wipe. I'm wiping the boy seat, dude. Like, when I have the seat up, I'm like, boy seat is clean, girl seed down. Is there like an air freshener or something that you can just add, add an element? I got to up the game. Yeah. I got to get one of those little doily, like, toilet seat things. That's what I need to do.

Is she in the doghouse with you right now? No, I was certainly in the dog house on Sunday. She's in the doghouse with you. Oh, is she in the doghouse with me? Yeah. Can I do that? Is that a laugh? I guess you're right.

I don't know. Have you ever put Charra in your doghouse? Not really. I don't think so. Like maybe if I've made an attempt, but it doesn't last long. Yeah. Because they have the power over you, no matter what. Oh, what are you going to do?

Sue me? Yeah, you're going to sue me? Go ahead and try that, see how that works. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you're not going to have sex with me? Let's see how long that lasts. Instantly. I think you forgot who the gatekeeper was in the bedroom.

You not got to have sexually? I'm going to go shower. Just leave the bathroom door wide open and throw on Skrilla. She did mess up the story, though. I screamed it. Yeah, I believed it. Yeah, I screamed it. So don't talk to me like a vibe!

And the entire airport froze. It was bad. It was bad. But yeah, that was my dad lost. That couldn't have worked out better with her calling. No, couldn't have. You behind the screen going, women gasping.

Oh, you're calling her a liar. No. Oh, okay. No. I didn't know where you're going with that. Oh, I don't either. The women gaspies. I must have blocked out.

Yeah, I don't remember. Okay, I just. Were we doing, is it call-ins now? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We can get back to some. Yeah, that we get to the call-ins. Yeah, let's get to the call-ins. 601 the dads.

You're making this up so that it sounds great during the ad read. I was on a phone call with one of my good buddies from back at school. We're catching up. And he goes, P.S. dude.

I got an olypop right in front of me. I'm crazy about olypop. Y'all are so lucky. You're sponsored by them. What are your favorite flavors? And we just like went down the row. He's not a classic grape guy, Will, which kind of broke my heart.

Truck nap is our second call. Okay. Truck nap. Let's listen in. What's up, boys? This is Sean in California. Hello, Sean. Currently in the truck, in the parking structure, across from the L&D for a little nap before we go to war. That's labor and delivery. Dad snores a little bit. So wife, he's asleep in the room.

We're busting balls. We've been there, Sean. Oh, I'm next time where... I've been there asleep on the couch after eating a burger. Belly's full now. You mind if I snooze a little bit. Woke up to screaming, the epidural didn't work.

Grilled onions still on your face. Hey! Sorry, you woke me up. You're being a little loud. Shit. I guess I'm not going to sleep this whole time of minute. I guess we'll do this now, right? This one is titled G. Damn it.

Okay. This is our third calling. All right. Deek, chef, Papa Sherm, Willie Boy. Yeah. Derek here from Knoxville. I'm a little bit behind, but I, on the topic of our kids repeating our bad words,

a couple years ago when my oldest three, point of order for the story, he has autism. Shout out autism, Miller, no free shout out. Shout out. Shout out.

Shout out. But, so he was nonverbal or pretty limited with his, with his language skills. And one of his favorite phrases became G. Damn it. Now, unlike Will,

I did not use gosh. I used the, the full word. And there was one incident where he, said, dad, can I have a cookie? And I said, no, not right now. You got to eat lunch or whatever it was.

And he responded just simply with, G, damn it. I whipped my head around. I was shocked. But also kind of proud because he didn't have many language skills at the time. He used it correctly. But also, you know, we got knit that in the bud. Thankfully, he doesn't repeat it anymore.

But it was an interesting time, say the least. All right. Pop six out. take out the trash. Sicko, oh, hey, nice, but also don't, don't, don't even

can't say that. Can I get a cookie? Oh, no, not right now. You got to eat your lunch. God damn. Oh, oh.

Hey, nice. Hey, sweetheart. Hey, hey, don't, just don't say that again. Don't say that again. Don't tell your mother.

Never mind. That really is. I'm sure you, did you feel the same with the real? Yeah. Yeah. Of course. First time we started like,

dropping a couple of the words. Like I was in the front seat. I was laughing. But I understand like you got a, but yeah, I was proud. This one of my favorite jiffs on the internet is Tom DeLong in the

Blink 182 music video where he's just like, what the fuck? My kid to like something crazy that happened in the real world and they just hit a, what the fuck?

Pardon to me? They're just, dude, they're so little, they're so innocent and all the things that they do is so funny. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Like rocking the sun, Like, yeah, they don't know. They look adorable, but they like them. And you're just like, oh, you're just so innocent and cute and adorable. Yes. You don't know how cool you are right now. That's the best kind of cool.

It's the best kind of hot. Like if imagine you just, Rue was just like, oh shit. And then just put on her sunglasses. Say she said, oh shit out loud. Then put a, Hey, Ruth, the garage. The garage gym just got. put in. What do you think? Oh, shit.

That would be awesome. Honey, love the energy. Yeah. Love the delivery. We got to work on the purge. We got to. Oh, my God. Okay, speaking of kids doing some crazy shit, I have an email really quickly for you. Okay.

This might be one of our best submissions that we have gotten as far as video. Would you agree with that, Deke? Yes. This was enough to where Deke pulled me aside and showed me this like four times. I digress. Okay. This comes from Peter Matthews. Peter says,

What's up, gentlemen? Been listening to the pod for the last few months and love everything you are doing for the community. I'm a dad to a wild three-year-old daughter crew and a newborn son, Graham. Very deep in the trenches, got an Easter dad loss from the past weekend. it. Picture this Easter afternoon. I'm in the kitchen cooking a nice family dinner. Feeling like I've got life under control for once.

Suddenly, footsteps, chaos, screaming. Crew and her partner in crime, Brody, also three, comes sprinting upstairs yelling, the basement is smoking. Now, as any season dad would do, I stay calm and

controlled as I walk downstairs to assess the situation. I'm assuming nothing is actually on fire. but of course prepared for the worst. Fire, disaster, insurance claim, the whole thing. Instead, I walk into what looks like a low-budget fog machine convention. The entire basement is filled with a thick white haze, can barely see two feet in front of me. After about 10 seconds of confusion and inhaling whatever mystery powder now lives in my lungs,

I find the culprit. These two hooligans had located the fire extinguisher, pulled the pin, and absolutely emptied the cliff. We immediately spring into action running around opening windows, trying to vent the house while this cloud of extinguisher does starts creeping upstairs towards the newborns. At this point, it turns into a full-blown family emergency response team. Brother-in-law, fellow PT Sicko, deployed. Brodie's mom vigorously wiping down surfaces. My wife, Captain M.T. Sicko, commanding the operation like a general. Shopbacks, industrial fans, Dyson, mops, everything we own is suddenly in play.

A day later, now there is still a fine layer of mystery dust coating my entire house and probably my lungs, but crisis averted. And the best part, we checked the playroom camera, expecting some sort of curious accident to have happened. No, sir. Crew showed zero hesitation. There's no fear, no regret, just walks up, pulls the pen, and commits like she's, been training for this moment her entire life. Honestly, can't even be mad. This one's on me.

I left a fire extinguisher within reach of two unsupervised three-year-olds and learned a valuable lesson. If it has a pin, a button, or looks even remotely interesting to a toddler, they will use it. Every time. Anyway, no fires, no injuries, just a house that now smells like a chemical plant and a story I'll be telling forever. Dad life, you can't make this shit up.

Peter Matthews. Dude, Peter. Great storytelling right there. We have the video. Oh, we have the video? We have the video. I do want to preface in the background. You will hear a song.

It is, come on ride the train and ride a two on full blast. These kids knew what they were doing. The arms out weapons run. But they're just a little bit of panic like, oh, shit. Bro, they were blasting. Blasting music. Crew's like, oh, let's get this party started. Have you all ever seen a goofy movie, the original one?

What's his name, Peter? Yes. Peter Matthews. He just walks down. God damn it. Have you all seen a goofy movie, the original one? Yeah, long time ago. Polly Shore plays the guy with the,

the red buzz kite. Yeah. And when Max is performing at the school thing, he gets a fire exing shirt. And he goes, how about a little smokage? And he like starts spraying it out. That was crew.

Yeah, that was crew. Crew was dialed in. That's funny. That's a good story. Peter, thank you for writing in. And thank you for sending the video.

Video's crazy. And he gave us full permission to post it. Have to. Which is iconic. Yeah. God, I can't wait for that clip to hit the internet. Send us more videos.

Send us more videos. And it's more vids. What else we got here? Oh, I have a dad hack for Rue's birthday. This comes from my wife. And basically, like, to surprise Rue, we went up and as Rue was sleeping, I took out, Charles, like, go up and get 20 stuffed animals. So I go up and get 20 stuffed animals. Charles already got the balloons there.

We sit down and we start tying the balloons around her, all of her, like, favorite stuffed animals. so they could be there to greet Rue when she came downstairs or out of her bedroom. So the hack is just like finding like little ways to surprise them, to show them like, hey, everybody's involved for your birthday to make the day feel special, to start off the day with it feeling special. It's like she goes in, she only has taggy with her. I don't think I brought the taggy downstairs. I got all the ones. There's like eight that's sleep by her. You know, there's like 10 down at her feet.

There's some in the closet. Got a bunch of her favorite animals. Brought them down. so when she comes down, she's got them, she's got all the animals sitting there with the balloon tied to them, hanging up, the little four-year-old one, so she could be fired up right when she comes down for her birthday. And dude, hit him with that dad hack of you on the dad cam is dangerous, dude.

Were you rolling with that? Yeah, yeah, that Camp Snap 8. I got it for Christmas. And, dude, it is awesome. It's like just that vintage camera, gives that vintage feel. And all it is is a point and shoot. You get it in there. the filters and buttons on the knobs are on easy on and off then you got probably four uh what is it ratio

picture yeah uh that's right ratio yeah yeah we're two four ratio uh options and then like five filter options if you want to you know you want it to look a little bit more vintage give it some gold whatever the color is it's only got about five on those and then you just point and shoot bro you just pull the trigger and it goes and then when you get done you just take the little USBc from the camera to the phone and it drops it on there right away. It's amazing. And just ripping around with it. You got like the parent of voice in the background,

like my voice in the background. I'm trying to get the shot. Let me get the shot. Just having all those little moments of ripping around for a birthday in the morning. Like we got her a couple squirt guns for the pool. And then we got Twister for her so we could all play Twister together. And she's good at it. And then yeah, dude.

It's full day, just full day of just having a lot of fun. We got her out of school. she only did a half day at school. We pulled her out after they did like a brunch where you could go. Parents can go and like sit with their kids during lunchtime. Great move. And eat with them. So we're sitting out at her school, having some lunch,

and then we take her home with us. We hit the pool like all afternoon. We're playing. We're doing all the games, Twister. Charles made her a little rice crispy treat cake or rice Krispoo. Put a candle in it to blow out. That's a creative cake. Yeah.

Those are kind of slept on. Yeah. Very slept on. Do rice crispy treats. Bang, bro. Especially for that age too, because like it leaves very little mess, whereas icing and crumbs, I mean, that's getting everywhere. Yeah. Those Rice Krispies, they stay a bit more contained.

That's a hack. Yeah. But that was just a little dad hack. Thinking of a little creative ways to spice up a birthday that costs absolutely nothing, but you're just wanting to just pour into the intention of her birthday, make it feel special. Charles, like, right when I got home from Texas Tech, she's making, whipping up the Rice Krispy treats. she's like, hey, can you go upstairs? I got all the balloons they're over there, go upstairs. Can you grab 20 stuffed animals?

And I'm exhausted. I'm like, fuck. Go up, get all that. And these little party hats, like little party hats to put on each stuffed animal. Scatter them out before she comes down the next morning, comes down in the next morning. And we're hitting the ground running with the birthday. Oh, that video, too, and we can run it on the episode. Not to give Chef another thing to play, but just that video of her turn in the corner with Scotty.

Yeah. And your dad cam, like that was, dude, that's peak. Oh, Roo, the birthday girl. She's four years old today. Hi, Scotty. Key Wade. Can you say happy birthday? Did you tell her, happy birthday?

Scottie Key Wave, wave, and she just kind of like looks at him. I'm a Scotty Stan, bro. I am a Scotty Stan. She is a legend, bro. She just wants to play and have. fun. I say her name out loud each time I'm watching one of your video, when I'm at home and I see

Hey, that's the caption, too. That's hilarious. Oh, my God. Yeah. So we went to stay golden and, you know, Rue loves to color on the work, their little worksheets and stuff like that. Well, they were out, but they had some blank ones somewhere where Rue could have the crowns and just draw like while we were having breakfast. We love to draw animals and it was Easter

Grandpa taught me how to sketch when I was a young buck. Like, I'm like, I'm picking up the crowns, you know, about to draw for the first time in a while. And I'm like, yeah, I know my way around a blank sheet of paper. What? I didn't know this about you. And Rue was like, Daddy, can you draw me a bunny? This should be easy. Legitimately, confident is ever going into drawing this bunny. It is. This is the shit that I came up with. And dude, I swear to God, I was not envisioning it as it was like being drawn.

Like I was like, okay, draw the head. Like, let me get the ears going. You do a nice swoop in with the ear. Like you get tighter as the ear gets lower. You're like, all right, I got a buddy. I'm thinking I'm going to find a way to draw the body. Ambrough. When I'm drawing this, because this is it like next to her.

cameras okay so lose cameras i just came across like this go kind of goes with root turning four and just dads being into where their eyes start water and they're watching videos they're reading stuff on the internet their algorithm algorithm is full of dad content oh god and this one comes from On X, I bookedmarked this the other day. So take it from me, a recent empty nester. The good old days don't feel like it at the time. It feels more like hard work and struggle. The days are long and the years fly by.

Then one day you wake up and the house is quiet. One of my most cherished memories is coming home from work each day and opening the creaky back door to our 1947 craftsman home. My three-year-old daughter, now 21, would drop her toys run down the hall, her footsteps booming on the old wooden floor to go. greet me. I love my life and I don't want to go back, but I do wish I could pass one message across time to 35 year old me. You're living the good old days right now, save her every moment. And it's just a video, bro, of them riding his bike back in the day. And you just read it and

this dropped too. How old is she now? This dropped two around when I dropped, around when I dropped mine, I can't believe Bruce 4. And then I see it from him and he's older now. his daughter's 21. It's like, dude, all dads are like, we're all in the same mental mindset of like being intentional, being nostalgic,

being sad, being excited, like, dude, I love my life now, but if I could just go back to some of these bottled up moments, like I see Scotting,

it's like our second, our second iteration of having a little girl at 16 months old. And the times where I look back at Rue at 16 months, one year, two years old,

I'm just like, God, I wish I had that. I love who she is right now. Of course. But man, you want to go back to some of those moments because she was so adorable. She was so cute. And you get to kind of relieve it with Scotty.

Like, is this going to be my last daughter? Is this my last time going around? And you see guys like that who are older now that wouldn't change anything, but they could go back to 35-year-old me. It's like cherish every moment. And it's like, you know those times are coming. And I know I'm going to feel that way when I'm his age. You just, yeah, you can't stop time. And I get in my feels, bro.

Dude, I do too. I'm dead meat. I am dead meat. Yeah. And it's going to get to a point where I'm going to be seeing my daughter when she's like, um, like a full grown woman. And I'm going to want to cry.

Just looking at her because I'm going to be so proud and so happy. You'll be goofy and try to pick them up below and get on below their knees and like, oh, dad, uh, you're still dead as baby girl. Oh, get on my shoulders. I, hang on the L5. that L4L5 can't hold it anymore. As you were telling that story, I was imagining just me walking into Stokehouse

with Scarley right there on my shoulder. And like... And Roos 4 now, she's getting big. Like, I can feel like when I'm holding her, like I feel like I'm in the year to where this could be the last year where I'm holding her, like all the time or quite a bit. Yeah.

I'm sure I'll still hold her at five, maybe six. Who knows? I don't know. I haven't gotten to that part. But part of me feel, you know, the weight she is. And her just wanting dead, that hold her. Yeah. You know what I mean?

And just being like, dude, I'm going to hold you because who knows how many times you're going to ask me to still hold you. My timeline needs to chill out, dude, because it'll just be pictures of like, hey, you only have two summers with your infant, four with your toddler. Oh. Three with your kid and four with your teenager. To that like, do, do, do, do de, do. Did it do Do you do Little Billy Elish song
