Starting point is 00:12:26 We have a follow-up from the follow-up? That's my whole wedding weekend story. Oh. We got a segue. Here we go. We'll need to start practicing the Shermax. And this from Tucker Kasinger, 469 on YouTube. I'll work on the, I'm reading that fast because I want to hear.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Is there a new, there are a new rendering to your football weekend? We got some news. We got, we got some news that we got a job. Did Papa Team 6? Win you a battle? I will say this. Papa Team 6 opened the eyes to my wife for compromising. For hearing out her husband's side that her husband isn't selfishly looking to go to this football game
Starting point is 00:13:17 because he thinks it's more important that he, we had already locked in some plans and bought some and there were some purchased tickets and we were a little excited yeah because that that planning happened months ago and there's there also is some opportunities for us to split up and conquer both there's some opportunities there it's not like it's impossible jill and i had a great little whisper battle uh on the way up to daint in ohio as our sweet scarlet uh dad hack for anybody if you got drive through the night bath time and bat time straight into car seat and you're off to the races on the road trip. Scarlett slept all five hours to date in Ohio from Nashville.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Oh my God. Good for you. It was incredible. Jill and I whisper battled back and forth. Like a whisper argument? Yeah, like a little whisper argument. And honestly, it wasn't about the wedding stuff. It was about me prioritizing family.
Starting point is 00:14:19 It was about Jill wanting to be heard on certain situations that I was doing a poor job. And this is me truly saying this. I was doing a poor job of. Is she being vulnerable with the community? Yeah, she's being vulnerable with the community. She was having some great points on that. I then was able, not in a manipulative way,
Starting point is 00:14:38 but I used a great example of the football game. Do you see from my perspective how I could feel some way about that? And I have agreed that I would go to the birthday. Yeah. But could you see that I could feel some type of way about the
Starting point is 00:14:54 football game based on the things that you just told me. Yeah. So you know, I'm hearing you, but are you also here? No, no, literally. I'm like, I'm like, honey, I'm going to the birthday party. You make a lot of great points. And you are making all the best points in the entire world. And by the way, you look very pissed off right now in a very beautiful way.
Starting point is 00:15:14 You look gorgeous. Do you feel heard just before I see my next thing? Do you feel her, sweetheart? And when she says it, okay, great. Okay. Now, if we could just pivot. do you also hear me with the football game? And when you feel hurt, how does that make you feel?
Starting point is 00:15:31 That probably makes you feel really, really good. And when you don't feel heard, it sounds like from what you're telling me, that makes you feel really bad. That makes it feel like you're not a priority to me. How do you think I might feel if I'm not feeling hurt about some things? You're always talking about the football game. No, no, no, no, it's not the football game. Shh, shh, shh, scarlet back there.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Oh, she's good. She's good. But yeah, keep it low. It's not about the football game. That's just an example that is very pertinent to this situation because it was very recent. But what about the football game? What are you saying?
Starting point is 00:16:12 So then we talk a little bit more once we get to Dayton. Yeah. She says to me, you getting to go do what you want to do and what your interests are is very important to me. me. I want you to have things that you're passionate about and that you can dive into. I also want to have things that I'm passionate about and want to dive into. And these things are important to us as
Starting point is 00:16:42 separate human beings of like we are married together. We are one person, but we have our separate interests. And we two bodies, two bodies, one heart. One heart. And we want to be able to pursue these things. And so Jill being able to voice that to me in a really healthy way and really, you know, opening my eyes up to, hey, I do need to do a better job of like giving Jill the opportunity to prioritize herself and to lean into these interests and her realizing, oh, damn, the football game really is a perfect example of that because we could split that up. So mother-in-law Lisa, shout out Lisa Shout out Lisa
Starting point is 00:17:25 Says What if I went with Jill To the birthday party She would be She would have an extra set of hands In San Diego I could fly with her From Nashville
Starting point is 00:17:38 You know I could drive up to Nashville And we fly together Or I could fly and connect In Nashville however We want to do it And I get some solo time with my daughter I go Lisa you also look very beautiful
Starting point is 00:17:51 When you say things like this Not just when you say things like this, you look beautiful all the time, but wow, you look stunning. And to be clear, you're just speaking from your heart. You're not thinking manipulation at all. Oh, about her looking beautiful or this situation? All of it. Correct. Yes, authenticity.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Correct. You're just speaking your mind. I'm speaking my mind. But when, like on a serious note, because we are telling the line between bit and seriousness, like Lisa coming in and being like, I think Truman should. Like he should go to that football game. He is very excited.
Starting point is 00:18:30 He can bring a friend. And now is you three sitting there talking? This is a separate conversation with her and Jill. And then you hear her mom. Her mom comes up to me and the lobby like late because her mom and her have this conversation. And then Jill and I have this conversation about I'm going to go with my mom. I then run into Lisa down the law.
Starting point is 00:18:52 lobby and she gives me one of these and goes you're welcome got you does uh does jill know you guys high fived yeah okay yeah she knows we high five because i'm wondering if lisa says this oh i can do the x y and z you just you're probably standing there and you're probably looking at lisa and then you just go and how does that make you honey how does that make you feel do you still do you feel wonderful and loved yeah and treasured so do i get to go to the football game I'm going to the football game, baby. No way.
Starting point is 00:19:27 I'm going to the football game. And I'm taking Papa Sherm.

And I was like, I haven't gone on a solo trip with my dad since high school. I'm going to take my dad. I was like, that would be really fun. College football is a love language for him.
Starting point is 00:19:53 his favorite moment with his dad was getting to buy tickets and fly his dad. It was very close to his dad passing to the Rose Bowl when TCU beat Wisconsin. They're both horn frogs, diehard horn frogs. And he flew my dad to the Rose Bowl and they got to watch that game together. And he has pictures from that trip in every room of his house. That was like one of his greatest moments with his dad. And I was like, I want to do. do the same. And I want to take my dad to this game. That would be really fun. I called him.
Starting point is 00:20:28 And dude, it was just like the best phone call ever. I could tell he was really excited. He is such a game planner.

Starting point is 00:25:58 a second time pulled me off to the side and said, hey, tell your dad, I said, hey, though. Like, really tell him. I was like, Bill, I got you. I'm going to tell my dad. Do you want his number? I can give you his number. You want to text him and tell him?
Starting point is 00:26:13 He'd love to hear from you. Yeah. Mr. Comstock, Coup said has planned. They got, my dad and him got each other's numbers and they are going to get like dinner at lunch together. his business stuff brings him to where my dad lives in Midland sometimes. And he was like, I'd love to connect with Papa Sherrim.
Starting point is 00:26:35 And I told Papa Sherman, he was like, oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Let me get his number. Dude, doesn't that just warm your heart? Yeah. Just dad's connecting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Like us getting to do the dad combine, like having the reason and essentially excuse of, we're going to do content for a day, but let's get everybody's dad in town. And essentially, we just get to hang with our dads for an afternoon. It's so sick. And the, also, by the way, the handings on a ton of the competitions, I feel like we're scoring pretty high. I had the handings. I had his dad. Yeah. Papa Chef. He was in my running for MBD. Yeah. I gave the nod to Comstock, just veteran respect. Veteran respect. But McPherson, Papa McPherson is the one who want. Well, and talk about it, dad, dude. That picture of McPherson that I sent into the bus and group chat with all the smoke around the grill
Starting point is 00:27:36 and he's got the spatula and he's got the sunglasses, the mustache. I mean, it's truly like, you want a poster of like Michael Jordan tongue out dunking of a dad. Yeah. Boom. New Balance wants a logo on the side of the shoe. It's that. It's that. It's that silhouette. It's the Papa McPherson. It's the spatula with the smoke and the reaching out for the meat tray. That's a dad. That was a lot of fun, man. Oh, dude, it was a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:28:04 And then one day this is kind of a darker way to think about it, but also like I in my brain I also think a cool way to think about it. One day when our dads are gone, crazy to say. No, one day, but you have those videos, those moments and memories like in a Rolodex to go and watch. Oh, hell yeah. just that episode with all you guys sitting there and your dad's talking about you, that was a special moment for me.
Starting point is 00:28:33 People that I've only known you personally for about two and a half years. A little less for these guys. But like sitting there and really getting to like see the guys that raised y'all, see little bits and pieces of y'all in them, them talking you guys up, them jabbing at you guys. got like that was a very special moment like that was really cool it was really cool uh thank you guys for letting us do that i know derrick if you feel the same way but it was fun to watch what i say nothing nothing it's just dek made a face when you keep going no it was it was special
Starting point is 00:29:18 to be a part of yeah i'm trying to say like wax poetic about you guys thank you so much the old man was nervous all week. I told him he would be fine. He watched it this morning. He sent me a little text, said, not as bad as I thought. Really enjoyed doing that. And another update,
Starting point is 00:29:32 my little brother texted me. He said when he's coming home, we're fighting. Did he listen to the pod? Yeah, he listened to it this morning. He just texted, he goes, when I get home, I'm kicking your ass.
Starting point is 00:29:43 That's awesome. So you could try. Just like the old days. How big a bull are you? John's just going to be in the backyard with his arms crossing the allie pop in his hand. Just smiling. Just saying,
Starting point is 00:29:58 Come on back home. I got a can of whoop ass in here, wait on you, boy. Winter gets the ching. I got the ring in the backyard ready for you, chef, when y'all have your little battle for the bell. Got it all ready for you.
Starting point is 00:30:12 What's going on with this situation that you brought up at the top of the... Oh, their in-laws. What's going on there? So the wife and I, I got his tickets to down in South Hall. They're doing like these. They have like a couple little pop-up concerts
Starting point is 00:30:28 throughout the summer. And the one that they had was Dashboard Confessional. Big Dashboard Confessional. I mean, I enjoyed their music when I was younger back in high school, middle school high school, dashboard confessional was awesome. Dashboard Confessional is one of my wife's just favorite bands. Like when we're ripping songs of Dashboard, she knows all the lyrics to all the songs.
Starting point is 00:30:49 And she's so hype. So I get these tickets for this. intimate concert. Is that where you know we're outside? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're outside. There's only maybe a couple hundred people, a few hundred people. Dang, that's like, okay, that makes way more sense. It's like super private. It's beautiful. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Chris, the singer, the musician, I mean, he sounds just like, he sounds just like he did. And he's got so many songs that he's like, I'm going to be up here. There's going to be songs that you guys are to throw up me that you want me to sing because he's like he's engaging with the audience he's like
Starting point is 00:31:25 let me know what you want me to sing and i'll sing it there's no like there's no lineup that he's going by and he's like there will be some songs that i'm kind of forgetful some of the lyrics funny because i wrote the lyrics he's like but we'll work through it together he was he ripped dude it was awesome they had some joy lane burgers there at south hall like it's the the vibe the scenery yeah trying to hold off they're you know they're trying to get some things in because rain was coming, a storm was coming. But then we just moved it inside. It was very intimate.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Like, you're just listening to Dashboard Confessional. Just, it was a plus. And we're listening to him singing. We're just having the best time. Like, I can tell my wife is super happy. Then all of a sudden, when we're in, by the time we're in the indoor and the storm's kind of hidden, we get a message.
Starting point is 00:32:13 We start, or she's starting to get messages from her parents about like Roo and bedtime. and you know, she's going back and forth a little bit. I can tell it's kind of taking her attention off of, I know she's wanting to listen to music. It's like, we got them to babysit. Anytime you have a babysitter, like you just, you're open. They handled all situations unless there is an emergency, obviously.
Starting point is 00:32:33 But you get the babysitter so you guys can go have your date night, so you guys can just check out so we can enjoy mom and dad time together. Yeah. And anytime it's like I just in my brain, I'm like when it's your, when it's the grandparents or in-laws of any sort babysitting. Like there can always be something that pops up. And you're in this weird gray area because it's family and you're trying to communicate and do all the things.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Like they're probably in their mind, it's we're watching your kids. You know what I mean? And in our mind, you're wanting like a service to be done. We're thankful that it's our, I'm thankful that it's the in-laws, but I'm thinking of my head, I need you guys to be dialed in. Locking. So we can just be here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Rue's having trouble with her inhaler. She needed her inhaler before bed. I want to say, I'm assuming here, because there's a lot of bits of peace, a lot of arguing, a lot of back and forth. Okay, okay, okay. But Rue was having trouble with her inhaler. I want to say Rue might have got it out of the drawer,
Starting point is 00:33:31 but all of a sudden, the inhaler ended up in, it's one of those like mask inhalers. Like you hit it and it's got this little contraption that goes here and Rue's got the little mask over the mouth. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. From when she was young, but she still has a little mask part on. and he was just in four pieces by the time
Starting point is 00:33:48 Lola gets it. Cool. Lola can't figure it out. She's texting Charles on how to figure it out. Charles trying to tell her here, like sending her, she might have sent her a photo. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:33:59 She's trying to give her steps to like put it back to the other because again, we're sitting there listening to Chris Dashboard Confessional. Yeah. And we're toward the end so some of the bangers are starting to play.
Starting point is 00:34:09 We're getting comfortable yelling out songs. Seeing a stolen. Yeah. Hands down. You know, Vendie. What is it? Anyway.
Starting point is 00:34:20 And then Charles has to get on the phone. Now, Opa gets involved. Grandpa, and they're going back and forth. They can't figure it out. This is an inhaler. It's four pieces. It's easy. It's easy, Sherm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:36 And you got, you got Google. You got the website. You got your phone. Yeah. Watch a YouTube video. Yeah. Look at what the brand is. And just type it in. How to put this together because it's just four pieces. If you can't just figure that part out.
Starting point is 00:34:50 I can hear it in his voice how easy it really is. Could I, could, Charles, go ahead. Could I mean, would you trust me to get it under a minute first time I'm looking at it? Type easy. Yes. Okay. In my head, and we're talking Willie one shelf brain. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Oh, no. Charles then gets up to leave to go get on the phone, hoping it's only going to be a couple minutes. Yeah. But apparently there, there, there's arguing going on back and forth. Roos crying, Roo's beside herself. I'm sitting there listening to that's where conventional thinking she's going to be back in a couple minutes. He plays the last song, hands down, Charles' favorite song. No. Charles misses the entire thing. No. And then he does, you know, all this, he's got his hands up. We're all clapping. I'm trying out. I'm looking around and there's part of me. I got a lot of anxiety because I'm like, damn, now I feel like I should have took the call and went out because this is one for her and not me yeah and then i go and look
Starting point is 00:35:49 around for i can't find her i go outside look around kind of look in the hallways so maybe she made it to the backside so i go to the backside meet this cat who went up there and singing song his name was like rhyming uh he did awesome chris brought him up on stage he met him locally in national and he let him play a song in front of us and he ripped but i shake i shake his hand i turn around i see charo go over to her she just asked the obvious question is it over everybody walked, I'm like, it's over. Oh, no. And she was so fucking pissed, bro.
Starting point is 00:36:22 I'm talking mad, man. And I understood. But you're out of, you have the head banging that you have with, you know, with your wife has with her parents or you have with your parents. Like the whole, just the whole family dynamic. You're out of the crosshairs, though. I'm out of the crosshairs. I'm more so thinking about as I'm driving home in silence.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Like, I know how to put the shit together. too. It's like if I if I played the 20 armchair quarterback and I could go back and I'm watching film. Yeah. I'm thinking in my head I should have gotten up and went and handled it because she
Starting point is 00:36:58 just needs to be in the most. She needs to love listening to Dashboard Confessional. And in my head she wasn't giving me that, but in my head that's my dad loss. In her head, she's also thinking the easiest way to communicate with my two parents
Starting point is 00:37:14 is by me doing it, not Will. Right. I mean, they were texting her. Yeah. Yeah. So I get to see where she's coming from. There's so much yelling going back and forth. There's like, I can't figure it out and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:37:25 And Charles, like, if you just give me a minute and listen to me, but there was no listening. They were just arguing back and forth, all this different stuff to where they finally, once they finally listen to Charles, they got it figured out within a minute or within a couple minutes. I was like, did you today? She's like, yeah, they figured out, but they just didn't want to listen. because she's like, you know, you know, parents, the FaceTime stuff. She's like, I'm like, I need you to show me what you're looking at. She would show her, but then she'd move.
Starting point is 00:37:55 She's like, I need you to keep the camera there. Stay on it. Stay on it. Yeah, man. And buddy. That's got to be one of those. Because the dad, the win was we were doing date night. And part of, we were kind of run down by the end of the week because we got back from Florida. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:10 That entire week last week. We had the neutral shoot on Thursday. Yeah. That was all day. We had the dad combine on Wednesday. that was all day. She's got stuff with bar three. It's just all the stuff that all parents and households go through.
Starting point is 00:38:23 So we were at the end of the week and it was like, hey, are we going to dashboard tomorrow? And I'm like, I got the tickets. Is buddy love? Are your parents coming over? Huh?
Starting point is 00:38:30 Is dashboard guy Chris? Yeah, it seems like he lives here in Nashville. We can talk off camera. Sounds like a good little opportunity for a nice old Mother's Day or something. Oh. I know she listens to the show. She listens to the show.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Yeah, what did this park out? But, but, man. Man, what I tell you that drive, Deek. And for the dads out there, it's, you just know. It's one of those ones, like, I wasn't saying nothing. I saw how Matt she was.
Starting point is 00:39:02 It wasn't even, it wasn't even a lane to, like, give her optimism. Yeah. Like, I'm thinking in my head, we still did get to listen to dashboard, like, insanely. Like, for me to this camera, sat there watching him and listening. to him. Charles throwing songs
Starting point is 00:39:18 like we're vocal. Like it's just, it was so sick. And we had so many great moments throughout that date night. Yeah. But that one at the end, when she missed hands down, and it's just, you know, you're sitting in
Starting point is 00:39:34 the car and I'm thinking, you can give the perspective spin that we still all encompassing great night. But I'm like, Willie boy, you just sit there, man. You sit here. Nod?
Starting point is 00:39:48 No, that, yeah. Because she was right. Like, I'm sitting there listening to her. I'm like, I'm getting a little piss off. I'm like, fuck, why can't you just have your shit figured out? But then you have gratitude and you appreciate that you have in-laws that you have your parents that can come to the house and watch them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:07 But the whole point of getting child care, if you just label it child care, not who it is, just child care. You get child care. And the only time you'd want to hear from is if there is an amount. emergency. Yeah. You're expecting or you're hoping that whoever's doing the child care can figure out what, can find the solves, like moments are going to happen. You're going to figure out the solve. That's why you're doing and offering it. Yeah. So there's like this battle going on in my head, because I'm starting to get, I'm like upset internally. I know my girl, she's, she's pissed.
Starting point is 00:40:37 But gentlemen, it was, it was those ones where you just know you're walking out. She's like a few steps ahead of me kind of hitting like a violent walk. Oh, oh. Oh. Rain, she's wearing sandals? Rain hitting us? I can't remember. I can't remember. Because when the rain started stopping it. Oh, buddy. When you start hearing that? It was dark out. Rain's coming down. You wouldn't even, you don't even give a shit about the rain. She's a few steps ahead of me. I'm walking behind her the car. You see the lights flicker on to unlock the doors. You kind of get in. You're silent. I started up. I back it out. I'm driving. You just hear the engine. She'll just, she'll hit it a few times. And I'm like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Yeah. A lot of nodding, a lot of like, yeah. And I don't know what to say. Because I'm on her side. And I'm also like, do I give a perspective thing? Or do I get with her in a suck and just argue? Or Willie Boy, do you just sit there? And I just chose option C.
Starting point is 00:41:30 But did she hits me with, do you not have anything to say? God, you look amazing. You look incredible. It was like, so I'm kind of just letting you, you know, I'm just letting you vent. I do agree. I agree with everything you're saying. I think it's all bullshit.
Starting point is 00:41:46 But what do you want me to do? A dad hack husband hack that I use quite often is the phrase, oh man, really? That will get you through any. But when it's already at a 10 and the 10 is like the truth,
Starting point is 00:42:03 it's like I already knew what was happening. Yes. But as she's telling it to you, I'm with you. Oh, yeah. And the, Oh, man. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:42:16 So sorry. You're apologizing, but you have nothing to apologize about to you. I did that sometimes of the, oh, I'm so sorry. You came to the house and I kind of just kept my distance. From everybody? Pretty much. I was about to say, I was about to say y'all came home and they were still there. Is at that point, I'd be like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:39 And Rue was still awake. That's all the thing. Rue is still awake. We're talking it's past nine. It's past nine o'clock. Bedtime's about 7.38. Like when we got done, like, you know, she's doing, she wants to call him.
Starting point is 00:42:53 We have to now. We're on speakerphone with Rue trying to calm her down. The inhaler was put together. Now we just needed her to take the inhaler. Yeah. But Rue is still worked up. Uh-huh. Now I'm thinking, why is everybody arguing in front of Rue when Rue's already upset?
Starting point is 00:43:09 Yeah. And then you've got to talk. Talk, Rue off the ledge. Hey, take your inhaler. We're going to be home in 30 minutes. Yeah. I want you home right now. That's not how it works, sweetheart.
Starting point is 00:43:18 We'll be home. We're driving. We see the blue line. We're going to be home in 30 minutes. And then, Mama, I want you to do my bedtime. So then we get home. Because then venting happens.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Let me correct. Let me step back and correct. Rue did eventually fall asleep and Charles just went upstairs and kiss her good night. But after the phone call and we had 25 extra minutes of driving home, Yeah. Then the venting of now I got to go home and do bedtime. Yeah. Takes place.
Starting point is 00:43:48 And that's where I was like, yeah, I get all the pissed offness right now. I hear you. We're in the A gap. And by the way, you look gorgeous. We're in the A gap, man. I just want to say this really quick. And if this is a really bad time to say it, you just let me know. But you look beautiful.
Starting point is 00:44:10 You look really. It wasn't good. So not only are you having that chaos, you missed through your favorite song, the whole part of the night. Like it just went to, it just went off a cliff. Yeah. Then to drive home, talk your four-year-old off a ledge, and then get off the phone and be like, I still have to do a responsibility with parenting when I get home. There's also, there's a level of expectation that I think is held for some in-laws. I don't know what that level of expectation is for yours.
Starting point is 00:44:40 but like my mom avid listener to the show so i say this with love she knows this about herself there was once a joke in our family of she would get lost all the time really bad with technology oh that's bill compton right we you know my dad direct quote for my dad as he's giving directions to my mom is honey there's not going to be a road sign that says amy bunny turn here okay like you got to know the like the mile number exit number that's why i'm telling you it's mile exit number 63 and just take 63 like you kind of you know get to that level so with miss amy there's an expectation of like what she can handle of certain tasks that i would never give to my mom and i'd say that with love i wouldn't give it to my mom where if i gave that job to my dad
Starting point is 00:45:38 easy. If my like, if my dad wasn't able to do that, I'd be like, dad, where are we doing? Like, what? You got lock in, dad. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you understand their weaknesses and blinds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And for me, my expectation with Opa
Starting point is 00:45:53 is once, once friction gets going, he'll, he'll shut down. Yeah. Whereas he is very capable. So I have the, I need you to stay poisoned in the pocket. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And figure it out. Like, you threw a pin. Because I could tell he felt bad when Charles,
Starting point is 00:46:14 I was like, I missed the last, like, we missed the whole, my favorite song, I missed it. Yeah. And I could hear it in his voice, like, he did feel bad. Yeah. Then he'll remember how he feels and was just like, it was just a bad situation. And I think in my head, Opa, you're better than that.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Yeah. Grandpa, you got to be the adult in the room when chaos is ensuing. he throws a pick on the field he comes to the sideline you're a head coach he gets on phone with OC Charo Oc lights him up he's all this on the sideline now head down blah blah blah you're sitting there give him a smack on the ass get back in there go throw the ball because I know you can't you don't know this none of that yeah yeah none of that yeah none of that that's a tough line to toe dude tough line to toe you survive here
Starting point is 00:47:08 out there all Papa Team 6. No, like there's just a line. There's a line. There's a dance that's happening. It's all family dynamic stuff. Well, that dude, talk about a subject that honestly, every single listener at home, I would say probably 80% of listeners at home have an in-law that they just despise.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Yeah. Or an in-law that despises them. Like, I feel like that's a pretty common trope. Yeah. And we don't have that. And I was about to say, we don't have that either. I very much count my blessings on that. But like that is something that a lot of listeners at home are sitting there and nodding their head of like, thank God.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Like if you have those resentment things, that's a notch of evidence that builds your portfolio of despising so-and-so. Yes. We don't have that dynamic. But I'm thinking in my head, like if this is a babysitter or a childcare person, it could have been their first time or second time, something like that happens. That's just, that's, we have to be on the same page because that, that can't happen again. Like, that's, that's, that's a fireball offense. Yeah. Not fireball, just we won't call you back.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Yeah. Because we can't have those moments. Can't have those moments. But you ain't going to do it with your in-laws because we have a great relationship. And you also love and need them. Yeah. It's true. It's a hard line.
Starting point is 00:48:31 So you can't beat them up too much. Yeah. Because we need them to keep wanting to come back. Yeah. We need them when we're wanting to have those. nights, those evenings. Yes. It is. What you got? Do you guys saw you? I saw a couple of chuppers? My only question, I know how you think, and I know how I think we all think. We want it to solve the issue.
Starting point is 00:48:49 So my brain goes in that situation. One, did you teach them when they got home, like, how to do it or did they already know it? And two, are there things in the future that you're going to make like instructional videos about? Like, hi, I'm Will Compton. Me and my wife were out to dinner and you're watching our kids. Here's how to do all this shit and just run through it. Because I'm curious, like, let's say this comes up again in a certain situation. Are you going to coach him up? Are you going to show them how to do the machine, the four pieces and shit? Are there any other things you're worried around the house that Opa just can't figure out on his own?
Starting point is 00:49:18 Opa can. Annie? Yeah, Opa can. Okay. Opa can. Lola, like, that's the level of like, if she gets confused on a matter, I'm like, okay, I love, love me some Lola. But this is, Opa's got to know. This is where you got to come in the game.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Yeah. Okay, I'm just curious how you hand, like the coaching thing, you're going to make some videos. I went to my room. Great move. I just kind of kept walking back and forth. Hey, do I got to get something out of the car? Let me walk back to the room. Go in my closet.
Starting point is 00:49:46 The car move. Let me change. Wait, did I? Acting like you're saying to you. Acting, yeah. Just check the tire pressure. Looking like I'm staying busy. Because wife still, I know she's still, she's still hot.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Yeah, grass might need looked at. So she might have showed them, maybe not. But to your point, it might not be me making a video high. I'm Willie Cee. If you're watching this video, you probably having trouble with the inhaler. Let me show you how we PC inhaler. together. But now I'm going to have to add the link to a YouTube video just in my notes,
Starting point is 00:50:13 in my roll of that. Well, just QR code. You could QR make a little YouTube video for each thing. Yeah, it could be a dad hack, good that hack, good dad hack. Good dad hack, good dad hack. Hey, also, that level expectation thing we're talking about, no coaching for Opa on inhaler. Bill Compton gets a video of how to walk into the vacation up. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Oh, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Oh, my God. I forgot to see that to you. know your staff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta stay on my ass, chef. You're my guy.
Starting point is 00:50:43 I don't care if you annoy me. Okay. Because yesterday when I did come in, I was a little, it was like a very brief like, what do you want? And I was just like, can I get that? Oh, because you were, and I was just like, you were doing it go for a day.
Starting point is 00:50:54 You were doing the thing where you cracked the door and you were kind of staying in there. It sounded like you guys were having an important meeting. Yeah, we were doing a one-on-one. Oh, okay. Don't blame, Jeff. He's a good, he's a good. He's an awesome.
Starting point is 00:51:04 No, no. That's how I know. How did we get here? You got to be better, Chef, about telling me to send you the thing. No, chef works hard, damn it. Wait. Chef does work hard. I'm truly so confused of what?
Starting point is 00:51:17 You brought up the instruction of a video on my dad going to. Oh, get on my ass about it. Chef yesterday. Clump and I were doing our weekly one-on-one and kind of just talking shop. So this door over here opened as we're sitting on the couch over there. And when it opened, we paused talking and we look. at who's coming in. Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Yesterday was like Ryan, it was chef. But chef was standing there, and we're staring at at chef, and I'm just waiting for him to say whatever he's going to say. But he doesn't say anything. He stands there. And I just go, what do you need? And he goes, hey, whenever you get a minute, can you send me the video where you gave your dad instructions?
Starting point is 00:51:54 I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely. I say yes. You guys know how I'm... You got a lot going on. I say yes, but then the day gets going, I leave. Yeah. I'm not thinking until we're here right now that damn and I forgot to send chef that video. I was talking to Deek on that point of expectations for parents and they all
Starting point is 00:52:12 said when I turned back over here what are you doing? What are you doing? And I was like what did chef just do? What happened? It was my mind. Chef does work hard and I know he's on top of it so I know he thinks about it. Like when I left I didn't send him the video I know those moments went through
Starting point is 00:52:30 his brain. Will forgot to send him in the video. Do I hit him up? Do I not hit him up? You know it's all good. He probably had a busy, he probably goes to those mental gymnastics. But that's why I look at him directly. I'm like, dude, you annoy me. Like you're, I know chef. Yeah, yeah. For next time I will, I'll keep pressing on it. Yeah, it was like, hey, I can't wait till Wednesday to ask again. Yeah. But yeah, from the meeting, I have bad eyesight, by the way. So if you guys are on the other side of the shop, I can't see if you guys are talking or looking at me. If I don't want my contacts in, that was the yesterday thing. So that's probably why I just stared at you like an idiot.
Starting point is 00:53:04 And I was like, and then I hear the door didn't even fully come all the way open. He didn't fully come in. He didn't like, he opened it enough to where he, I felt, without the contact thing, I felt like he saw what was going on. So he was in a spot to where I thought he was going to shut the door and be like, okay, I'll come back later. But he kind of kept it, he kind of kept it open like this wide and he was just standing there. For like eight Mississippi.
Starting point is 00:53:26 That is true. It was one where I said, should I walk away and close the door immediately? And I said, maybe if I stand here, they'll look at me and address it. But it looked very important. So I felt like it was a very odd. I was like, are they talking serious ball right now? And I need to get the fuck out. I'll just wait and see.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Dad hack for chef, when I have those situations, I go, you guys kissing? Yeah, yeah. Every time they're doing like a secret, I go, you guys kissing? And they're like, yeah, we're kissing. I'm like, I'll come back later. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:01:08 We got childcare taking care of. Thank God that my parents want to come over, swim with them in the pool. Yeah. But you stayed poised by staying out of it. It sounds like Charo stayed poised of like she could have really lost it on somebody over the matter. Because another thing that led into it is right before we left, the kiddos were outside in the pool with Lola and Opa playing in the pool. Yeah. Lola was on Scotty and she's sitting there with Scott.
Starting point is 01:01:32 I guess Scotty might have thrown a ball. I didn't see what happened. Scotty falls and cracks her head on the edge, like the corner part of the pool, like the hot tub part that leaks into the pool. She's crying. Me and my, like me and Charles,
Starting point is 01:01:47 we're upstairs. We're bandaging her up. She's got a little blood. She's upset. I was wondering what happened. Hey, it's all good. We finally get out of the house, go one day, night.

Starting point is 01:02:28 Yeah. So I needed that day and night. We got a. Mama ain't happy. Ain't happy. Nobody happy. Yeah. Um, okay, because of time, we can jump into dad hacks.
Starting point is 01:02:41 And then I think from dad hacks, we go right into our voicemails, um, and email. Just make sure we can get everything. This one's from Eric Foss on Spotify, dad hack of the week. Eric Foss on Spotify. When traveling with younger kids leave in the middle of the night so they can sleep the whole way. Might seem like a burden at the time, but worth the night. not having to go back to the back of the car all the time. Ding, ding, ding.
Starting point is 01:03:08 And by the way, from my man that said, Fanduil, this isn't an email. Bro. This is not an email. Well, did you misread anything? Oh, I kind of hit a couple things. But people out there also got to understand, and I need you to back me up on this.
Starting point is 01:03:21 Okay. Some of the, sometimes there are misspellings in grammatical errors that disrupt the flow of the sentence. So you've got to like almost go back because I'm not reading these things before we do the show. Yeah. We read them on air so that way we can have natural reactions to that. So sometimes the grammar and everything else is a little out of place.
Starting point is 01:03:42 It's not just my brain shut. My brain can do that. Yes. But I just want people to know it's, it's, it is. I'm trying to pass the buck a little bit. Dad hack to get on the show, use punctuation. Yeah. Use paragraphs.

Starting point is 01:19:01 My name is Tiara. my husband Jordie is a huge fan and turn me onto the pod. He's way too embarrassed to write in himself, so like any good wife, I'm doing it for him. This is his In the Trenches story. I was sitting on the couch holding our two-month-old daughter, our first child, so I'll admit I was probably a little overprotective. And when I suddenly spotted a mouse casually sitting on a log in our fireplace,
Starting point is 01:19:25 naturally, I called my husband and gave him one job to do. Get rid of the mouse. What followed was hours of absolute chaos. After multiple failed attempts to catch it, the crafty little sucker launched itself out of the fireplace and sprinted across our living room floor. At that point, I made my husband turn the entire house upside down. There was no chance.
Starting point is 01:19:50 I was going to sleep knowing a rodent could be crawling around near our baby. He cut open the lining underneath our couch to make sure the mouse wasn't hiding inside. He set traps in. everywhere. Meanwhile, I had barricaded myself and the baby in our bedroom with towels stuffed under the door. Good. By this point, I was furious and my husband felt like a complete failure. Then, around 10 p.m., we heard the most beautiful sound in the world. Snap! The mouse had fallen for a trap by the fridge. The relief was immediate. Come on. The mouse was gone. The baby was safe, and my husband could finally go to sleep
Starting point is 01:20:34 knowing I wasn't going to kill him. Come on. Thanks for all you do. Tiara. Tiara! I'll tell you right now, Jill listening to the episode, just relived PTSD. We have the exact same scenario happening at the house there
Starting point is 01:20:51 is no worse feeling than just not being, knowing that the mouse is real, that the enemy is real and it's out there, and it's elusive and you can't fucking get. I was losing sleep. I was losing sleep. And when I saw him, I'll try to keep it PG, but when I saw that little body in the trap,
Starting point is 01:21:11 I did, I danced. So you little fuck. You stand over him and hit the celebration. I hit the, what's his name? Stewart. Dylan Stewart. Yeah, Dylan Stewart. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:21:23 Go. My stink. They stink. Amanda Clark, this one is lengthy, because, her husband sent in an email. It didn't get onto the show. Then there was a further story that came with it. And Amanda wrote in the further story into the show.
Starting point is 01:21:45 And it's actually an epic one. Deke did an awesome job finding this one. I will dive in. Amanda Clark says, Hi, dads. My name is Amanda. My husband has been a longtime fan of BWTB and more recent fan of For the Dads.
Starting point is 01:22:00 Since we found out that I, I'm pregnant with our first baby boy. Congratulations. Brian emailed you guys a few weeks ago about the bad motorcycle accident that he was in at that exact same time that they found out that she was pregnant. It would mean everything to him to hear from you, especially during an incredibly, physically and mentally difficult recovery of his broken leg. I also know from reading the email he sent to you guys that he significantly underplayed how much your podcast. had impacted him over the past few months. I've seen it firsthand and wanted to reach out and tell you about Brian from my point of view.
Starting point is 01:22:40 Brian and I have been together for 13 years and married for almost four. We've stayed together despite years of long distance, moving to and from Canada, and we've experienced a lot of ups and downs in between. For the last 13 years, Brian has been my rock. Throughout complicated family dynamics, my significant mental health challenges, and the stress caused by veterinary school and specialty residencies, Brian's love and commitment to our relationship and little family and future has never wavered. A lot of things have changed over the years,
Starting point is 01:23:13 but I've always been able to count on Brian to be that constant steady force in my life. Brian started riding his motorcycles a few years ago and instantly fell in love. It was one of the ways he could relax and see the beauty of the world, which was especially important during times when life felt heavy. When we found out I was pregnant, Brian told me that he was going to give up riding for the baby. We talked about the dangers and risk of riding, but I didn't want him to give it up because I saw how much he enjoyed it. It had quickly become a huge part of his life, and I couldn't take that away from him. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, Brian got into an accident while riding his motorcycle to work.
Starting point is 01:23:50 He got teaboned by an SUV. And even though he was only going 35, the acceleration of the other car caused significant damage to his bike. He ended up to him and his bike. He ended up breaking both bones in his lower right leg, which according to that, doctor, requires an incredible amount of force. Somehow he was able to call me after he got hit, and I got to him before the EMTs. I felt so helpless seeing him like that,
Starting point is 01:24:17 and it broke something in me, and I don't think I'll ever get back. Luckily, he stayed conscious despite being in shock and in a lot of pain. Long story short, his worst injury was his leg fracture, which required orthopedic surgery and placement of a large metal rod through the length of his tibia. He was lucky to walk away from the accident with his life and without any head injuries. Brian has a long recovery in front of him. He's had to rely on a walker and now it came to walk and has been making progress walking longer distances and even going upstairs.
Starting point is 01:24:49 He's never been someone who relies on other people for help and he rarely even asked for it, transitioning from the mentality of constantly needing help and being physically limited have taken a toll on him. He's making progress, but I know that he wishes things would progress faster. He has done his best to stay positive and has really only had brief moments of negativity. Not really sure how he does it, but I don't think I'd be able to in this situation. He has made the decision to stop riding motorcycles, which is heartbreaking, but he realizes how lucky he is to still be alive after the accident and thinks it's for the best. This is where you guys come in.
Starting point is 01:25:33 Brian started listening for the dads in April, has continued to listen every week. He has shared funny stories with me that have been discussed on the podcast and also relayed some helpful parenting hacks that you guys have shared. I think that your podcast is one of the reasons that Brian has been able to, to stay positive during his recovery. He's so excited for our little guy to join the world this December and has definitely given him something to look forward to. He has learned so much from your podcast is pumped to have been prompted, promoted, from
Starting point is 01:26:02 Seaman Team 6 to Papa Team 6. Your podcast, or Papa Team 6 in training is what she put. Your podcast has been a ray of light during some difficult times for him, especially in the last few weeks. I think it would be really easy for him to let the negativity overwhelm him. him in this situation. But you guys have helped put everything in perspective for him, especially in context of being in a motorcycle accident with a baby on the way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do and for giving Brian so much hope and optimism for his
Starting point is 01:26:34 future as a member of Papa Team 6. He's going to be an amazing dad. Now, I can't wait for our little boy to grow up with Brian as his dad. I know that you probably get a lot of these emails, but I've seen how impactful your podcast has been on Brime. I know he would be a static for a response from you. And a shout out on the podcast, Amanda, Milk Team 6 in training. Let's go. So that comes from Amanda Clark. Here's a picture of his leg, dude.
Starting point is 01:27:02 Oh. One point that I want to point out, just because Jill was in a pretty high trauma floor in hospitals. Yeah. And something that she saw a lot of. Helmets, helmets, helmets, dude. saves lives. Anybody that needs to hear that, wear a helmet.
Starting point is 01:27:19 Wear a helmet. Because you look at the damage of that helmet, dude. Brian's not here if he's not wearing a helmet. Like that's just cutting dry. He's not here if he's not wearing a helmet. Yeah. Wear a helmet. But dude, what a stud.
Starting point is 01:27:33 Just to stay positive. Looks like a nice, a nice compound fracture. A nice compound break. Ooh. Both of them. Bro. the bike. Look at the bike.

He hit me up before his daughter, Lucy was even here and was like, hey, what did you do during night shifts again? Run me through that. Like, what does that look like? All those little tidbits that we on a piece of paper are like,
Starting point is 01:28:34 okay, we got to make sure we go over dad hacks. We got to make sure we go over dad losses. Like those are truly things that like people take away from the show. And that's like crazy. Yeah, it's cool, man. It's cool. And by the way, just to corrector, Papa Team 6 in training.

Because thank God you are still here, bro. This is also, I did not have a conversation with Deke about this before I say this. just want to put this out there for anybody that is written in, calling in, whatever.
Starting point is 01:30:20 Of, Deke is one man. And I have that email connected to my phone, the 601, the dads at Gmail. Yeah. Brother, I get eight notifications while I'm laying in bed every night. Like, new email, new email, new email, new email. There is only so many emails that this guy could read.
