This show isn’t about expert advice and how fatherhood is the greatest thing on earth—it’s about embracing the love and suck of parenthood every day. From balancing work and family to battling the mental load, fears, and the moments that wreck you in the best way, we dive into it all with honesty, vulnerability, and a sense of humor. Cause at the end of the day... us dads have no idea what we're doing. Alongside Will is his producer Sherman Young, a recently new father who’s currently deep in the trenches of Fatherhood and loving every minute of it. Together, they’ll break down everything that can go right and wrong (...usually wrong) when you bring tiny humans into this world. Expect funny parenting stories, laughs, call-ins, advice, weekly themes, and the kind of conversations you’d have over a cold beer in the garage. Whether you’re raising teens or still Googling “how to install a car seat”, For the Dads is the ultimate podcast for dads who are in it, about to be in it, or just trying to do their best while screwing it up along the way. ----- FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram:   / Forthedadspod  Twitter:   / Forthedadspod Facebook:   / Forthedadspod TikTok: / Forthedadspod LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify ----- Drink Olipop : Buy any 2 cans of Olipop in store, and we'll pay you back for one.

But the bear logo, and then right underneath on the top line, it says

We've been working really hard on the bus in line that for the dads was a part of it, but ended there. And so she hit me up this morning. We were part of it, but it was all busing football merch. Yeah, it was very much bus and driven. But she said, hey, surprise, we got this for the PT sickos. Ptyscos, moms, wives. Listen, your man's going to want this shirt. He might be staring at you right now while I'm saying these words. He's going to want this shirt. And Dad or Goumberets or ST6ers out there just listening or watching right now,

So the hat you have on in the Father's Day stuff was the last PT6. But this is how you at yourself in the Papa Team 6 community. We got a lot of stuff to get through right now. and we're also on a time crunch. You guys are going to hate me. This episode is going to be under an hour. We'll get like an hour with the interview, hour 40. People are still going to hate me.

Probably. And you guys rip three hours. The community is going to hate you. We set you up for failure on that one. Just so you know, like we kind of were just like, let's just go. We're three guys. We're really nilly. Let's go.

And then all the comments were, wow, Will missed an episode. And we got our three hours said. So I apologize to you. And all of those, all of those pro three hours. So people out there are, just licking their chops when they're going to say, oh, when it's just Will and Will's by himself, we're not even going to get an hour with the boy. We got a lot of stuff to do. We got a lot of stuff to get through. Listen, a couple things. I'm just going to get a loss, a dad lost out of the way.

Left the milk bottle on my truck. Left the milk bottle in my hot truck. My wife was asking me inside, hey, have you seen the milk bottle? I haven't seen the sweetheart. Last time I saw it, Scotty had it, probably upstairs, probably downstairs. Who knows with Scotzilla? But I haven't seen it. It's not on your boy. And then we go, I don't even know where we go, but we get. get in the trucks. You see it right there in the cup holder. Hey, here's the milk bottle. Just roasting. Milk curled up. Bad loss. Get that one out of the way. I have another one because I went to the Bahamas over the weekend. Went to the Bahamas. Thursday through Sunday trip. It was amazing. Family went. A lot of families went. Shout out the source.

But we enjoyed a time out there. We got to. Your boy got to. spearfish. Got to talk about that. Got a lobster. Got a lobster. Rue. Bravery. Bravery.

She was nervous to get close to the lobster. She was nervous to hold the lobster. But damn a dude, I could see the twinkle on her eye she wanted to. And her brave little four-year-old self goes over and she's holding the antennas of the lobster,

having a nice little smile. I'm sure chef's got a beautiful photo up right now. We got to go diving for starfish. We hit up this spot called the Coconut Club. Shout out Coconut Club. No free shoutouts. a lot of boat rides. We ripped around on a couple jet skis.

I took Rue 40 miles an hour on a jet ski. It was just me and her. I was like, listen, me, we're going to have a little bit of fun. Saw a boat, wanted to go kind of get in the back of the wake. Classic. That was, you hit the big wave, and then the second big wave, bam. We hit. Rue was sitting on my lap, like, in the front.

Bam, hits her chin on the jet ski. and her head hits me back and hits me in the chin. I'm like, sweetheart, you all right? She's like, yeah, we're ripping and roaring all through the ocean. We get to the, we get to where we stop, get back to our destination.

We get out and she looks up and she goes, Dadda, am I bleeding? Her blood blistered things forming on her lip, like it wanted to cut, but it didn't. Her mouth, she's blood everywhere. And I'm like, hey, you're so tough. Don't tell your mother. Like, let's go any of the love.

Let's get some water on. We don't want to do salt water, not salt water. That does burn. We get inside and she's just holding her mouth. And I'm wishing she wasn't holding her mouth because we had the greatest time. You were tough as shit. You didn't cry. You didn't say anything.

You were toughest nails, kid. Why are we doing the whole drama thing now to where it's like you got out of a fight? You're ratting dad out. Yeah, you're ratting dad out. And she's kind of getting that little whiny, little mooney voice a little bit. And dude, hey, sweetheart, look, Roo would tell Mama what we did. We did all those circles. We were ripping around.

I took her 40 miles an hour on the jet ski. And Charles was like, oh, my God, what happened? She's like, I hit my mouth. I hit my chin on the jet ski. And Charles, like, looks up at me. And I'm like, there was this wave. I was going to take her into the wake. I definitely should have thought about it.

Thought it through a little bit more. Went a little slower into the wake, trying to get into the wake. But anyway, a couple losses. Scotty would have ate the blood. Scotty would have lick the blood off a knife. Yeah. Scottie would have got mad and started hitting the jet ski. She gets mad when she gets hurt. But it was a phenomenal time, man. Like we juiced every hour. We were in the sun all day, every day. Roos was ripping and roaring. Didn't take any naps. That bit us in the ass on the third night because she had an absolute meltdown. One of those meltdowns to where I'm sitting outside with her and I grabbed her arm a little hard. Because eventually I've like, I wanted to pick her up and shake her a little bit. I'm just thinking about my old man, how he'd be having my arm. be spanking my ass within this is a moment I did want to put hands

on her I didn't I didn't put a hands on her but I was like yeah yeah yeah did not put hands on my four year old but I was like sweetheart you have got to figure this out because she's just screaming beside herself no naps

and then once we got the kids down we're exhausted but you can tell we're wanting to still like hey let's play a game we're playing werewolf we're playing empire you're playing Empire? No, never have. Played code names,

played fishbowl or salad bowl. Some people like to call it. Where I grew up, we called it salad bowl, but fishbowl. We had a lot of fun. It was a phenomenal weekend. The biggest dad loss I took. The biggest dad loss I took. Every afternoon, we'd go over to the coconut club. Coconut Club is like, you know, it's got the beach vibe. It's got the chairs.

It's got massive inflatable slides and places where you can sit out in the ocean in the water, good food. And one day it was kind of my turn to hang back. Like we'd take the boat, hey, who's going to go to the coconut club? We'd take a crew over to the coconut club. The kids, a lot of kids, but a lot that still are in nap time phase. Scotty being one of them. So Scotty would go down for a nap.

We'd put her down for about an hour, hour and a half. day one was charo day two i'm like okay this is where i gotta i gotta get my stripes i gotta earn my stripes i got to stay back you go enjoy the time sweetheart i'll be out there we'll be out there in an hour and a half or a couple hours wake scotty up and god damn man i was having dad brain moments i'm like okay she probably has what scotty needs out at the coconut club because I'm now just, we're all just joining back together. She's got Rue out there. Charles shoots me a text.

Hey, make sure she's in the white and blue striped swimsuit, sweetheart, I got you. No problem. But since that was all that was in the text, I'm thinking there's probably nothing else she needs because my wife would have told me. That's where dads go wrong most of the time. We just assume that what our wife has in a text is all that. they're going to need. Or the details of the process, they would have that in there if you need to know it.

Hand up, I need to know that. I do know this shit. I'm better than what I'm about to explain. I changed Scotty, wet diaper, all good. I kind of wish there was poop in it because then I know poop's not going to be coming. Change her out of her regular diaper. I put her in the swim diaper with the swimsuit. So she's just ready to swim.

still got about 30 minutes to get to said destination. Good so far. I'm taking a risk, Deke, by using a swim diaper. All moms, dads who already know, they're starting to pieces together. Oh, no, what happened to Willie Boy? He put the swim diaper on before you don't, that's a big no-no before you get to the destination. So I get tied, Scott in a swim diaper, her swimsuit. We got Lama, we got Pasi.

We're going out to the boat. I look over at Audrey. And I'm like, hey, I don't need to bring. diapers or anything, right? Like Char was going to have and she's like, I got some if you need him. And I also got wipes. I'm okay, cool, we're good. I had my Miami Hurricanes little dry fit hoodie. I was taking some, I was taking some bullets when I posted that on Instagram. People like, oh, it happened to go Big Red, Nebraska. Like this free gear. And I needed something to help protect the sunlight a little bit like because I was burning. And we're on the boat ride. And Scotty,

I'm holding Scotty. We get docked. And Charo comes over to me. meet us on the dock and she's like sweetheart what do you got her in a swim diaper and i'm like i mean we were coming right here i figured she's just going to swim reach out scottie shits all over me did she's all over her shorts i had her in her out i had her in her outfit over the swimsuit because that was the one thing i did assume i'm like okay maybe we need clothes on her to go with the swimsuit but we are getting the water so i don't know if charles wants that charles just put swimsuit in the text i think i'm all good but i'm going to go ahead and bring shorts on a shirt She's in the shorts.

She hits through her shorts. And I'm talking, it's like not solid. It's mushy. It's got some liquid in there too. So it fizzles out. It's all over my hurricane shirt. It's all over her shorts. And Charo is just like,

she's not giving me a lashing by any means. But the look of you are fucking better than this. What are you doing? Like we go over this with the people that watch our kids. That, hey, don't change them. Don't put them in their swim diaper. before they get to swim lesson, you got to put them in the swim diaper

when you get the swim lesson because you're risking... Ruining the diaper. Ruining the diaper. Because it doesn't hold these swim diapers don't like cold. Like they can get... They're not as good as they're doing the diapers.

Not at all. Okay. Not at all. Like they don't hold poop whatsoever. Kind of like, what's the point of a swim diaper? Yeah, like they catch it a little bit. If you have a hard shit in there, like, okay, you're probably all good.

Yeah. But you get the Scotzilla liquid. You get the Scotzilla liquid. Yeah, I'm going to take a largest, here, the diapers that Audrey brought were not swim diapers? She had ones for like, yeah. She had swim diapers. She all said, okay.

I was going to say, if you didn't have any more swim diapers too, that would be an addition to the deadlock. Thank God. Yeah, yeah. Algie had an extra swim diaper because that one was room right when we got over there. She's like, did you bring any extra swim diapers? And I was like, I mean, no. Provocation, babe.

And actually that's going to like, God, damn. Why didn't I bring extra swim diapers? Then all you comes on her, I have extra swim diapers for you. She said, okay, thank you. And then it's kind of like they communicate Charles, like walking off with Scotty. And I'm like kind of like following behind. Like, hey, yeah, I should have. I know I should have.

I know him better. I know him better than that. I knew better than that. Duffby. How the hoodie turn out? Oh, I mean, I had to wash it immediately. Okay. It was all shit on smelled terribly.

Like it was on, you know, the parents out there know, it's on your arm. It's on your forearm. It's on my stomach. Wasn't able to like use that. I had to go and get back and then then put it in the wash. But yeah, man, it was a, as we're walking to and I make the little slimy comment,

I was like, hey, I did this on purpose because I need some content for The Dads. I make one of the boys laugh, which is all I needed. So I was like, oh yeah, you need content before the dads. I need a story. This is a good story. Everything was going to go well.

Everything was going to do. too well. Yeah. Everything was going too well. Needed a little humbling. Needed a little humbling. Needed a little humbling. Every good story needs conflict. Yeah. Yeah. We got it. Should we hit follow-ups? Follow us from last week's episode. I got one here from Ross on Spotify. Again, leave comments on Spotify. Ross, this is five days ago, now seven days ago.

If you didn't listen to last week, episode this is your time go back let's see what the boys were laughing about that was a good one too because i have a lot of people be like oh i'm not catching up to the soge you guys are talking about stuff in previous sods and i'm like yeah but that should make you want to go and see it and so one of my favorite things that happened last was the dinner party so benjig golf on youtube i love this episode because the dinner party is going to happen again and we all get to see how it's going to evolve as everyone gets closer and more comfortable with each other chef could cook for

it and maybe deeke will get an invite next time thank you and they invite you with you The way you hit me with that was hilarious. You're getting squirrely too. I was too because I knew you were messing with me, but there's also the little inner part of you. I'm like, fuck. Chef,

maybe you do cook. You still got to cook the burritos. I'll say we have to, I got one right here about said situation that happened last week. Yeah, please, please do tell. From PT6J on YouTube.

Good luck, chef. I expect a video chef walking with a trait of burritos with scryla playing. Yeah. It's been a week. guys are listening now a week later from last week's episode update we still haven't eaten burritos we haven't but also i want to make sure that we're all here in one place we can you're going to the bahamas yeah not that it's your fault we still haven't eaten burritos burritos will get made soon

comedian discovery big friend of the show this is on youtube having a vision for the driveway parking layout and dad's just following the lead of the first car is the lead dad stuff something to hang your hat on will hashtag willie driveways yes delete elite level dad is to look out in the driveway and be like i think the SUV should be over there because then he can get out and doesn't go to go in the yard it was a good a good move good dad move paid set in the tone and then a couple come in and then i go and i asked ryan i'm like hey you pulled up in the driveway like where'd you park and he's like oh we we just pulled straight in the driveway i'm like oh was there any spots he's like no all the other car is backed in and i was like oh that's one where you lay your head on on

the pillow at night and just smile. Don't even need valet. No. They know what they're doing. Don't even need a shockwave coupon. Don't need to put a bow on the coupon. That's just a dad and a good mood because planes were executed well. We got one from Nate on Spotify here.

Chef, you're down 283 in the third quarter and you're Tom Brady. The breakfast burritos were a catastrophic first half. The locker room is in shambles and the fan base has lost faith. But legends aren't judged by how they start. They're judged by how they respond. Lock in, chef. We're ready to witness the greatest culinary comeback of all time.

I need that photo of Brady. What's his name? Nate on Spotify. It is just Nate on Spotify. I know he's listening and watching or watching right now, thinking that he is getting to witness the greatest comeback of all time.

But I do want to remind you guys, still no burritos. We still haven't tasted. We haven't even heard about the burrito conversation. since the episode last week. Since we recorded on Tuesday. That's fair. I thought about calling you in the Bahamas and just kind of getting an order going.

But I figured, hey, don't bother boss on vacation. But you didn't? Yeah, because I feel like this is a good employee, too. But you're doing 23. I'm down deep right now. We have to claw back. You got to claw back. This one here is from Nick Faust via email.

Again, for the dads. For the Dads at Gmail.com. 601 the dads 6.01. Well, you're good because we have 4 the dads pot at Gmail,

which is not, don't ever send anything there, no one checks it, but there's 601 the dads at gmo.com. 6.01, the dads at gmail.com. It's only episode 64.

Where's the created? I need some preteen gummies. Nick here from Pittsburgh. Chef had this coming after saying rendezvous in Memphis was a good BBQ spot a while back. Whoa.

I've been second guessing his chef this ever since. Who the fuck said that? Anyway, and dude, don't interrupt. the right in from Nick from Nicky boy

Nick Fowse from Cinderlands Anyway here's my kid boys Amelia coming in at three feet nothing 30 pounds she fucking rips P S deke is a legend and a jagoff

Pt6 out That is Nick Fouse from Cinderlands The beer that I bought your dad Oh he's coming hard in chef Do you have a rebuttal? Yeah I do first off Nick My dad did love the beer that Deke brought secondly

Rondea Voo, maybe I miss told, I got to look back. Rondevue, the head pit master, died, and then everyone on the staff quit. And then I haven't been there since. But when I used to go as a kid, it's the best best ribs in Memphis. Well, people can't taste the food that you're speaking of now. Well, it might still be there.

Because the horrific story that you just told. It's a true story. The guy was like 85 years old. The head chef was murdered. No, he wasn't killed. I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking.

Cold blood. And everybody quit because the place is haunted. sucks everyone quit. Nick did text me the day after we were talking about Stokehouse and he's like, I hate rendezvous. And I was like, I can't speak on it. I've never been. But that explains why.

Oh, I do want to get this out of the way before the Chase, before the Chase interview. I need you guys. We end up doing basically an announcement with Chase. And I need you guys to keep quiet. about it and act surprise when we announce it next week on busting with busting with the boys it's a busting with the boys announcement and chase came he did busting then he did for the dads i'm thinking it's all going at the same time it's not busson's coming out next week so when we talk about the announcement on this episode that you're going to hear just be excited say congrats say all the things right

but just don't uh just keep you the secret and act surprise when we announce it on busting next week because you guys are going to be the, you guys are going to be the first ones to know. You guys are going to be the first ones to know. I have some PT6, some PT6 community right here. And this is a good one. This is how to motivate your wife. This is a question that my man Carson Fushner, Fusher, Fusher, Fusher, Fusher, Fusher, Fusher, that Carson has with his wife with his wife being 35 weeks pregnant with baby number two. She had an epidural with her first and absolutely killed it.

She pushed for only three minutes. Lucky her. My wife was 45 plus hours. This time she wants to go natural. So I need some tips on what to say to her during active labor. During the first pregnancy in the hospital parking lot, I played Rudy's final game. And Herb Brooks is Miracle on Ice Beach. This time I'm thinking Terminator 2.

And Bill Goldberg highlights. Just the spear and the jackknife. On repeat. What did you guys say during active labor to help motivate your? your wife and keep her going. Thanks for the help. Go Big Red. You don't want to listen to what I told my wife. I told this one early. This is back in the archives, one of the earlier episodes that we did on for the dads. My wife pushed for over 45 hours. One to do a natural birth. We had a, we had a, what is it called, a plan, a birthing plan, baby birth plan. Sounds good. Yeah, sure.

And as you know with any plan, you plan, and then you also plan for it all to go. to shit. And then as it's going to shit, we're going to be calm. We're going to be poised. We're going to hang in the pocket. My wife did. She wanted no epidural. She got an epidural. She got two, actually three epidurals because the second epidural missed. They didn't do a good job. So they had to put her in hell

again. They'd get the third one in. Didn't want to do a couple of things. Ended up having to do those couple things. But we get to the 40-something hour mark. And she's wanted to go all natural. She's wanted to have this baby vaginally.

Is that okay to say? Viginally. Yeah, vaginally. Oh. It's a medical term. And so when the idea of the C-section came up, she was ready to go C-section. And when the doc left the room,

broken words, but what I basically said was it feels like you're giving up. I didn't say it directly or that cold. Like there was a style. was trying to, just to keep her focused on, hey, we had this plan. Like you said, you did not want to do C-section. I'm just trying to remind you of what you said.

And it feels like we're getting, you know, we just go a little bit longer. Good teammates check each other. Good teammates check each other. To which when you are on the battlefield, there are times where you can say, hey, go fuck yourself. You're not the one doing this. And I can't believe you're making me feel like I'm giving up. So that was a whole ordeal.

You don't want to know mine. A great speech to throw in there, Rocky Balboa. Rocky Babboa, when he's talking to his kid, he talks about, he used to be a old oldie right here. Right here. That's a great speech. Knock that one out. Good luck to your wife.

I hope everything goes well. I hope the baby and mama are healthy when this baby arrives. Time off from the pod. Ryan just shot us to text. NASCAR will be here early. So if you guys could get Will over here to prep, that'd be great. Oh. That's good news.

Good. That's ideal. Good. It's ideal. It's honestly ideal. Love NASCAR. God. Love turn left.

Love turn left. Love tires and meeting Gavin Atcock was cool. Yeah. Love beer. Love beer. Love going fast. 40 miles on a jet belt. Love seat belts.

What do you want to do, Will? It is 931 right now. we are about, I'd say, 30 minutes roughly into this. I can push voicemails to next week. They are evergreen so we can have that. Is the Papa Team 6 community getting the listen to our inner meeting right now? I think so, yeah. Because we make it fun and good and chefs here.

And I also need the I need the hedge and the insurance of when people just berate me for having a shorter episode. Normally it's like full actual. but when we've had this moment in the past where you didn't know if we were actually doing a bit or not doing a bit. So I feel like we're not doing a bit. Do you want me to pound out the one thing we had talked about for this?

Since we'll be doing a video for it, and then we can, you can go to NASCAR? Yeah, let's do that. Because I found out a better card to introduce the topic we want to talk about. Okay. This is from Trent Dicer. This is also if you're a PT6 listener

and you love listening to Racing with the Boys, just know that if you love this more, getting taken away by your racing with the boys. Go comment on the next racing with the boys episode and just put a salute symbol. Put a salute symbol. Put a salute symbol. They get engagement, they know. Put cap's lock. Love seat belts.

Shout out Trent Dykster for this email. A few dads for drafting for fantasy football. Fellas. First off, fucking love the show. Just want to give a huge shout out to my boy, Ty. We do a fantasy football draft with seven adults and three teenage kids. On draft day, we show up and my boy Ty hands me and our other friend a shirt. Of course, he got us all. P.T.

six shirts. All three of us dads listen to the show regularly. What a great and totally unexpected gift for draft day. P.S. My team is going to fucking stomp all over these idiots in the league. And it's just three dads in their PT6 gear. We have two in the discord right now. They are filled. They are ready to go. Fantasy football PT sicko leagues that we signed up for months ago. Yeah, we'll do it. And we come back and there's 28 sickos in two leagues. We have a regular or relegation league now too, where if we do bad, we'll go to, we can, but we'll go down to the relegation league

and we are asking Willie Cid to do the draft order for both of them. So chef was asking like, hook us up with like a five or a six. Do we want the four or three? Maybe anywhere from three to six, I feel like Will will be good for the show. If you don't mind cheating a little bit. Three to six will be good for the show.

Yeah, that's like an ideal draft spot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get you guys in there. Yeah. You guys on a team. Co-co. The whole show is. But we're representing the whole show.

Okay. So you're on this team too. We're in the league. Yeah, we're in the top league. We're not in the league. I'll get us three to six. Yeah. Randomly.

I'll randomly get us three to six. Shout out those guys. Fantasy football league. P.T. Sicko league. They just happen themselves, man. They're, they're crazy people. Shout up boom sizzily. He's been setting it up.

Yeah. They got two little leagues for PT sick of dads to just crack some beer. They're trying to get a video chat going to watch some games. Dude, the football season is upon us. The football season. is upon us. And with football, Roos also started school. So Rue is in the phase of her life to where she's going back to school.

She's loving it. We're having a great time. Getting back in the routine of making the lunches and everything in the morning, getting her going with our little casadillas with Nick, my boy Nick, shout out Nick. Who's listening right now? I'm sure. Hit me up. Like, hey, what do you usually give Scotty

for, or Roo for lunch? I'm trying to look for some options. My cost of a flour tortilla. Mixed three blend cheese and turkey the turkey pepennonis turkey pepponones it's all day every day straw four strawberries

five slices of cucumbers and cucumber strawberries oh and then more pepponones more turkey pepponones six of them six of them in their little pocket Rue's also in this phase two where she wants to know why

she loves scary stories she always wants me to tell her a scary story or dad-ed tell me a story about the time where you were little and you were bad she always wants bad guys she always wants bad she always wants scary she always wants that and the other night she was asking me she's in this little phase of asking why the bad guys are bad like at the end of the story and i'm trying to give her something of substance i'm like oh i know something probably happened in the past that made them you know getting you of them trust issues. Somebody probably hurt them. They felt like... They read it on their dads. Stuff like that where they feel isolated.

They feel like they have nobody to talk to. And they take it out on the world when they're trying to conquer the world. Rue hits me with... No, dadda. I think maybe when he was little and he was in school, he might have broke something.

And it made his friend mad. I was like, you know what? You might be right. Maybe he just broke something. in school back in the day when he was six years old. Unless Rue broke something and her friend's mad at her. And she's like, am I turning into a bad guy? And then you double down.

And she's like, damn, I'm a bad guy now. I don't know if that happened. That's just where my brain goes with kids. It's like, why she? Behind every night spent making the kids lunches, there's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat the veggies? Will the pesto survive the first bite?

Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all? And will you finish episode 8 before you're done slicing the cucumbers?

We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network. Our show is extremely accessible to first-time listeners. Each week we talk to someone in show business, aka the biz and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists

for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, not that great. Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head? How about we flip this script? What is the surprise woman? Actually, you think is the straight man

is actually the one who's acting weird. Adam Scott. This intense. entire time you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. I would never expect. I have. I would never set expectations for something like that to happen. If the universe allows for something like that to happen,

I'm open to it. I'm always going to accept. You know, Danny McBride, fine. Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity exuding. I could smell it walking down the hallway, to be honest with you. I was like, I was like, is that weed? Nope. It's fragile masculinity.

Ben Stiller, no. Because a lot of times out of context, people don't get it or even know what a circle is. You know what I mean? They're like, oh, what's a state. Everyone's so dumb. And fake. Right, fake and also not interested or just like, oh, I've got my life. I don't care about your life.

And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Oh, and by the way, Will Ferrell told us personally he loves the show and he wants to be a guest on every episode, but he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinheiro, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word. Solita, trading the pity for possibility.

Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Hoda Kottebe, host of the podcast Joy 101 with Hoda Kotbby. If you know me, you know, I'm always searching for inspiration and useful tools to maximize joy. So this podcast lets us uncover those things together through meaningful conversations with fascinating people. Like when my friend Henry Winkler offered advice to aspiring. actors and really anybody hoping to stand out. You're not hired just to fill time and space. You're hired to fill the space with you. You have something in your guts.

You go with it. And Sean Johnson recalled the moment she realized her now husband, Andrew, was the one. He was just so unapologetically himself and knew nothing of Hollywood. He hadn't been on a plane before without his family. It was so pure. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why she got that story. Did she break it and she's worried about becoming a bad guy?

My dad has all these stories about being a bad guy as a kid. Am I turning into one? Man, you could be on to something. I'll have to ask you. I got a child's brain, man. I like that thought too. Hey, why you ask you? You break something to school?

You're in a safe spot. It's all good. Are you scared of being a bad guy or do you want to be a bad guy? She loves bad guys, bro. Loves them. And she always wants me to tell a story about me being little and doing something bad. Anyway, hey, I'll leave you with this. Because we got an email.

I do want to hit this email. And I actually coined this email as our lesson of the week because this email is from Cole Batonhorst. And the emails around core values. Papa Sherman Willie One Shelf. My name is Cole. I'm from Louisville, Nebraska, GBR. And my wife and I just welcome boy number two to this world.

We have a three-year-old son, Brickston, and now we have Bo. I have my Sam and Will Linebacker, and my family feels complete. I'm a day-one listener of Bustin'n with the boys and for the dads, and thank you for what you all do. My email is to focus on values. For three years, I've intentionally followed with the goal of instilling the values of discipline, respect, and toughness with my son Briggs. I believe these are the most important values of making a man. The past two weeks, we have found ourselves in quite the situation.

My son, Bo was born with a hemolytic. Actorsetalys. Hemalytic. Hemalytic blood disease. Over the course of the pregnancy, we have had three trips to Minneapolis, two blood transfusions in the womb, and over 20 appointments and 17 ultrasounds. Since birth, Bo has been in the NICU for 12 days,

received one blood transfusion, 30 lab draws, two rounds of plasma, and a full week under the lights. This dude is tough. We cannot wait to bring him home to meet his brother, but we know he's where he needs to be in this moment. I did not write this for prayers or sympathy. I wrote this because Bo's experience

has brought my wife and I back a step to realize the full gravity of perspective. We now understand how many parents, do not get the perfect birth, perfect pregnancy that is commonly seen on social media. Perspective. We realize that yet our situation is very hard and unfortunate. It could always be worse. Worse.

Keep our heads up, be strong, move forward one day at a time. Perspective. We know that there are parents who struggle to conceive and would give up almost anything to be in our position. Perspective. We realize that we will most likely be discharged soon in living in confinement. completely normal life as a family of four while other kids fight for their life daily in the NICU perspective. We understand that you never know what somebody is going through, even if they

have a smile on their face. Be respectful, be kind, be a better person, always. Perspective. I look forward to teaching my son perspective as a core value on top of discipline, toughness, and respect. I truly believe the direct byproduct will be some humble young men that don't want to be messed with in this cruel, sick, yet beautiful world. Have a good one, boys. Appreciate what you do. What are your family core values? Cole B, proud father and loyal husband. Thank you for writing in Cole. That is an awesome email. And I appreciate you for sharing. I know you don't want any prayers. I know you don't want any sympathy. But I hope everything is going well with you guys. As far as the core values question, we can follow up on that next week. Your boy has got a rip.

We have racing with the boys interview. I'm happy that you guys. tuned in with us. Enjoy this interview that I have with Chase Daniel. We talk about he's got a hard stance on technology. I would love watching him operate on flag football Saturdays, whatever day of the week that they get after. They got wristbands and colors. And he's running a full operation.

Chase Daniel, he's our guest. We get at the end, he talks about why Chris Papples is five. I tell him why he's wrong and why I'm right,

because Chris Fappell is number one. You got classic grape. You got watermelon lime. You got banana cream. You got peach. and cream. You got a roll of decks of flavors. You also got the soda flavors.

Gentlemen, that concludes our potty break, drink Olipop and throw in a couple of patches

of Lucy. Let's get back to this episode. All right, PT6. Obviously, you just heard Sherman and I on the intro. We are joined by a Pt-Sixer, somebody who hates on Chris Fappell, OllieP, Pop, winning his quarterback, best quarterback to play at Missouri, greatest, arguably the greatest backup of all time in the NFL. I mean, that's a badge of honor. I'll take it.

That's a, not, what, 14 years? 14. Now you do your media everywhere. Yep. You call games. Yep. You're with SEC Nation. Yep.

You're gonna be part, this one comes out. This is this week. Wednesday. Oh, we basically, we were announcing next week on Bustin' with the Boys, but you're joining the Bustin' with the Boys ecosystem. Yeah. So you're gonna be seeing, doing first read on Sundays on the bus and channel.

You're going to be doing the quarterback breakdown on your YouTube channel, Chase Daniel on YouTube, go subscribe, give them all the love. And you'll be collaborate. You'll get to see it too because both of our brands will be collaborating on essentially everything. So catch it on YouTube. And now you're going to be joined. Now you're going to be losing your virginity on for the deaths.

Yeah. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you. Big fan of the show. Specifically some olipop takes that we can get into later. but love the show what you guys have built. I think it's so cool.

It's a space we were talking about to be vulnerable to actually share our experiences and your experiences to dad. So I think it's really cool what you and Sherman built because there's not a lot of stuff out there like this from former players. I don't know Sherms not,

but like you leading the charge, obviously Sherm is like genius and everything he does. So it's just, it's cool, man. It's really cool. It's going to be one of those conversations where we talk about losses

and complaining a little bit more than, you know, we do talk about how, how we can be better, how we learn from more mistakes. Yeah. It's big, complain, talk about a bad thing that happened, how we could have handled it better, how we could have done it a little bit different.

Therapy. Yeah, therapy. This is a good therapy session. No doubt. So we're going to need some of that vulnerability. I got some. What, because you have three kids. Yeah.

You have a boy soon to be nine. Yep. September. Yep. Virgo? I don't know. September 1st. So is that a...

He could be on the edge. He might be Virgo, though. Two daughters. Two daughters. Six and five. Six and five. How's life at? as a are your girls in the sports?

Yeah. Yeah. That's good. So it's, um, the nine year old, going to be nine year old son. He is the first kid, obviously. And when you have a first kid, like my goal in the NFL was to play as long as I possibly good,

so he could know what dad did. I'm like, that's so cool. There's a clip and I'm sure we can figure it out. My last year for the Chargers was 20, 22. Let's do some math. So he was five, almost six. He went to a preseason game and he saw dad on the Jumbotron run out of the tunnel on the preseason game when I was starting. Yeah. And he absolutely loses it. Like yeah, like, oh my God. Like, and I just thought that was like so cool. That was like the moment. I'm like,

okay, he understands what dad does. And so like getting into sports with him, I coach the flight. football team for them. Since pre-K, bro, we are dialed. We're wearing wristbands. Now we're third graders. Like, we're running like... Are you running Mizzou's offense? We're running Sean Payton's offense.

So you're always tagging everything in the huddle. Yeah. And so what's pretty cool about it is like you have a colored wristband. There's six guys on the flag football team. There's a black wristband, purple, yellow, orange, red, and green. And whatever, if you're wearing the green wristband, you know you're the X. the boundary because it's green on the sheet it's it's like a 12 we have 14 plays on the wristband and so i just say hey play one and they look and the black wristband goes a slot the red like all that

stuff and they know it and they we practice a heck out of it and it's been great it's been fun they like how is it coaching other kids you're you're coming in you run an operation there's going to be some discipline involved because you come from a world where do you understand discipline you understand operation. You understand urgency. This is, and parents come in, you could be a little hard on a kid. You could do an entire episode based on this. I grew up in Texas, Texas high school football king. Like you can imagine South Lake Carroll, South Lake Carol, like Natty's in high school every

year, Todd Dodge, like we went, I went 47 and one in three years, two state championships as a starter. 47 and one. Yeah, the 16 of those, my sophomore year were starting a receiver. I started a receiver head. Had 800 yards receiving as a receiver on varsity. I was fourth on our team in receiving yards. That's how much we threw the ball.

Junior, senior year. Bombs. Back, yeah, dude, we were rolling. And so, like, football is like a way of life there. Well, you know, California, or we live now in San Diego, they got all sorts of stuff you can do. They got, you got surfing.

You got mountain biking. You can go ski. You can go. So, like, sports is not like, the culture around sports is. not like it is in Texas. However, we've been coaching the kids since pre-K.

It's like a good group. There's been five of us and we've added some guys. I coach them like they're from Texas. You saw the head coach kick the ball? I didn't do that. Kick the ball in the nuts. And he hit him in the nuts. I don't do that.

That's a casual day in Texas. No doubt. Like you're just like, oh, whatever, you know, I would say I demand a lot of them. them, but we have fun, but it's like, we have three team pillars.

Team, always protect your teammates. Like always, there's no thing bigger. It was like big team, little me. Like, it's about the team, have fun, protect it. Competition. We're not only competing against ourselves. We're competing against everyone, obviously in the league, but we're competing against ourselves every practice so we can get better.

And number three is fun. Like, you got to have fun, right? So I would say like other dads and other coaches probably aren't as intense as me, but we expect a certain thing out of our kids. And it's not like we're being rude or mean or anything, but I coach them like we do in Texas. And so there's a group of parents that absolutely love that because that culture in California doesn't exist.

And so what I've tried to do is just try to like, hey, we're going to love on you. We're going to teach you the actual game. We're not just going to show up and you're going to run lines. We're going to teach you what a three-step drop is as a quarterback. And then we've been teaching these things since pre-K. You know, they might not always look good, but we've been teaching these things.

So we try to instill this in them. And now we're rolling. Like we're rolling and it's, it's been fun. But it's been, it's been cool because the sports culture and Texas and California completely different. It's called the standard. Yeah. Is what it sounds like, yeah.

We hold them to a standard. Pre-K, like they're coming into an organization. Not necessarily, hey, we're playing for fun. Yeah. You're playing a win. We play to win. And like competition you have is the second pillar. Yeah.

Like, hey, we compete with ourselves. But you're also saying we're here to win games. Look. It's not all about winning and losing, but it's all about winning and losing. Like, we are trying to bury the other team. Like in, and look, some people love it and some people don't. But I'm like, hey, why are we playing? Why are we playing a sport?

There's a winner and there's a loser. Yeah. Talk to it. Like, there's no, there ain't no, it's winner or your last place. Like, when two teams face off, yeah, we're going to have phone. And here's the thing, too. I'm like really old school. I don't like any of the celebrating.

Like that, you go shake their hand get back in the huddle. Like, I don't let my boys do none of that. You show them tape of Barry Sanders. Oh, my gosh. Walter Pate.

Yes. Go hit the ball of the rest. Greatness. Sweetness. And, you know, but it's pretty, it's cool. My wife thinks I'm crazy for it,

but I think it's, it's good. It's, I mean, they're third grade. They're learning more about the, they're learning more about life. This way than anything else.

We, we're going to have fun and we laugh and we, but we have fun winning. I'm sure the wife understands. Yeah. Or it's just a fleeting sweetheart. You don't get it. She understands.

She was never a sports person growing up. So she's learned it through 14 years. And now in sports media and understand she's on, she's on our side. What does your boy see the quarterback? No, he plays receiver. So we have another quarterback right now. Should he be playing receiver? Or is this like a NEPO situation?

So here's the thing. Dude, this is actually a great call. Got a good arm. Just asking the right questions. Yeah. actually got a right arm and you could probably well you'll be able to test how are your kids four and two in november when you if you start coaching or if they're in the sports or whatever this is something i've had to learn when you coach your kids it's it's hard it's very difficult

in terms of what i struggle with is when my kid is out there i don't ever want to feel like my kid is an epa kid and he's just getting to play quarterback because he's the my son or he's the son of a quarterback or. And so in doing that, I probably go on the complete opposite side of things to where I'm like almost too hard on them. Does that make sense? Like I'm like,

no, you're not playing. You're not like, we play everyone for sure. We're getting into the point where we're playing the top six. You have a good week of practice. You're starting. Like that's just how it is. Like competition.

Deptruck written in pencil. Yeah. Like, dude, it gets a race. and we have a better quarterback than him. He enjoys it. He asks me, but we have a guy that's better. But my son's like really fast.

And I'm like, if you want to play, like I'm not just going to put you out there. We put him out there a couple times and he's loving it. He's loving the game. But like, you know, it's hard to coach him one on one because he's not really listening. Sometimes the other coaches have to coach them.

Just how it is. But I'm like, if you, if you're not the best quarterback, you're not going to play quarterback. What you can do is you can play our Z receiver. You're the field receiver. you're blue. Stop and goes, hitches, slants, reverses. And he's been really good at that. And what I really say is I tell everyone this on our team. I'm like, what is coach Chase like?

Offense or defense? And I've instilled this with them from day one. And every single one of my kids has ever played with me, we'll say defense. I coach defense 75% more than I coach offense. Because if you can't score on us, you can't beat us. That's good math. It's easy. It ain't rocket science here. That's good math. That's good math. You know what I?

So like we are now last game we got sort of throttled. It was a wake up because we're a third grade division. We're the big division now. When you say last game we're in season right now. Oh bro. Yeah, we had a game Friday. We had not lost a regular season game. We had not lost a game in two, two and a half full seasons.

We got beat for the first time and it's good. I'm glad we got beat to be honest with you. You already know that. that speech after the game. I'm like, we played so bad the first half. I say so bad. I'm like, we were just dead tired. It was hot in San Diego. It was like first week at true school. We come out. We're down 22 to seven in the first half. And I'm like, what is happening? What's the halftime speech? Switch quarterbacks. Not to my son. Switch quarterbacks. They were blitzing us all game. And we finally got a quarterback,

we got a quarterback in there that can move and sweat. And we ended up having a chance. We were down five in the fourth quarter, two minute drive. We ended up on interception. But we played so much better in the second half. So I just used that as like, this is,

it's weird of tar hills. This is a tar heels way. Yeah, this is what we do. Can't spot them 22 points. Well, it's unbelievable. No,

so I think there's just so many, like, I think the parents like the way I coach out there. because it's not, this isn't like, we're not trying to be super serious, but there is like, we're teaching them more than just football. You know what I mean?

Yeah. But yeah, the son, my son plays, he's gotten really, so the defense thing, but he plays corner. He had an interception. He's,

he's really good at corner. And maybe he'll, I'm not every one of those dads that pushes to do like anything. Like, I would probably say I'm on the, my kid's not doing private lessons. Like,

he loves baseball. He loves golf. He loves tennis. he loves football. I'm like, you got me as a coach, like figured out. Maybe eventually I will,

but there's, there's kids that are five-year-olds that are doing private lessons. Like, you're going to get burnout. Speaking of my daughter, who's just turned six, I mean,

she's a head taller than everyone in first grade, including all the boys. She is a freak athlete. Is she the best one of the three? Probably. Yes. Impressive. Yes.

Like, got recruited. This is crazy. Got recruited. recruited to play club soccer. We're talking six years old. She's six. She got recruited by one of the like big time leagues. We played rec soccer first time ever last year.

Club light is what they call it. So they're at the under seven team right now. They're the youngest team. They play rec. So they practice twice a week, which I think is great for development. They have a whole program. All these coaches do is just coach full time.

Like they, it's a really good developmental league. It's crazy. They don't do anything else. They coach. Just full time. We're working six-year-olds. Wild, bro.

And they sold me on like, hey, we're going to do this. We're going to practice. We're not traveling. I'm like, oh, I'm in. Because the travel, they're like, we're playing wreck, but we're playing the under eight girls in the wreck.

So we're a club or we're club lights. So I'm like, okay, we'll see how it is. But she's loving it. That's good. You don't have. to travel. Yeah, I'm going to tell her I'm not. I'm like, I'm not wasting our summers. Yeah. Like, my, I remember my dad put me in, my dad put me in select, which is like club baseball when I was like 12. And everyone thought he was crazy. Because it was like so young. Like back then, like in Texas, it was like, you're doing select baseball at 12? What are you doing? Now they got five year olds playing.

They got they got signing days for under seven baseball with balloon art. I saw we needed. I saw that video. Did you see the video? What are we doing? Blue and white. Blue and white. Yeah. Yeah.

What are we doing? And so like I'm the opposite of that. And then Ashton are, are, you got to experience. Yeah. A lot of that winning. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like you got recruited. You got to play in the big leagues.

Like some of the, you know, parents who kind of like, you know, a little bit of a living through their children who didn't get to find it to be such a big deal. I'm on your side. Yeah. No, I'm just trying to like, if I could be in their head. Oh, I wonder if I could understand that. It's hard because I feel like we're in a unique position. Say your oldest starts playing soccer and you're recruiting this sick team.

And you guys are rolling because you're a professional athlete or maybe she's playing flag football because all the girls are playing black football now. You guys are rolling. Imagine a world we're like, oh, Will Compton's on the other sideline played in the NFL. we'll show these girls. Like, that's sort of the vibe I get when, like, you would have thought that this team won the Super Bowl that beat us. Because there is a little bit of like, oh, we beat this, you know, team that.

No question. And so there's a little bit of that. Yeah. And there's a little bit of that, which I think's interesting. But, oh, like this dude thinks he's hot shit. When in reality. Yeah. When in reality, I'm just like, hey, man, she wants to play hard, but I want to win.

Switching gears. I'm interested in asking you this question. Work-life balance. You played 14 years in the NFL. Like when I was going into my 10th year, we had had Rue. We had Rue in April, Sir Roo is about, what, six months old at the time when I was looking at going to Atlanta. And I'd already tasted weekends, kind of being out of ball. Like, I knew I was playing with house money.

That's how I was going there. You were essentially in all 14 years. how much of a shock was it to you when you're home for the first time, seeing how much your wife actually does? And now that you are becoming successful in chapter, in your, you know, second chapter of your career with going from football to now in media,

in all these things that you're doing, all the travel. Yeah. What's the work-life balance situation like for you? Well, to answer your first one about like when we first were done and being at home and just seeing and understanding my wife's situation, there's no way I could do remotely what she does.

Like it is like I truly believe like women have this supernatural power of patience in organization and just like kids. Like it is such it is such an amazing thing. My wife is unbelievable at it. I would say like the last two years I was playing in 21 and 22. I was living in San Diego in our current house, like our forever home, and I was driving up to the Chargers facility in Costa Mesa, which was like 45 minutes there an hour back. So two hours of my day pretty much was spent in a car. And my kids were getting older. The last two years of my career, I saw during season, I saw my kids 10 hours a week.

Because you know the sacrifice that it takes for us. We'll talk about the family in a second. to have to play. I'm fully in. There's no off days for quarterbacks. You know that? Like we're in Tuesdays. We're in from eight to three.

And so that to me was, I told myself I'd play as long as I could if I love the game. And I still love the game. But at some point in that 21 season, I played 22, that 21 season, I didn't start questioning. But I'm like, is this worth it? like seeing my kids grow up,

seeing my wife struggle, not struggle, but like, she's a single parent. Dude, there's a guilt that takes over. Even again, we just had a ruin.

She was only six months. Yeah. But even packing up the truck and going down to Atlanta thinking I'm going to spend the rest of the time here, here's how we're going to like work through it. But there's almost just like a guilt

that like takes place. The dad guilt is crazy. And again, mind you, this is the first kid. This is only one kid. I couldn't imagine with three. But you just know,

dude, it does take an army. my wife's a super superhero because like we saw him 10 hours a week and then then i had a chance to play for the raiders um in 2023 is a backup and my wife's like okay you're going alone i'm like there's no way she's like we're saying here like there's no way i'm like it's done and but then like being home the first i mean 23 was like i was home a lot but i was working at NFL network one day a week um there's just no way i could handle like what just really get getting a peek behind the scenes of what she went through and how much of a single parent she was to three kids.

She moved into our house pretty much by herself. We moved into our house October of 21 and she did it with somehow, but like mainly by herself, just how strong she is and everything like that. Like I would say like dad guilt was big. And then I would say this year is the first year. I've been, this is my third full year out. This is my first year where I'm like, the dad guilt's creeping back.

Yeah. Because you'll be what? Your travel schedule is going to be. Wednesday through Sunday morning on the road. Maybe Saturday night. So it is one of those things where you're like, man. Like is it worth it? Is it there?

And then you look at the thing. It's like, okay, well, all three of our kids are in school full time now. First year ever. Amazing. Our youngest daughters in kindergarten. And then you're like, okay, well, why? are you doing this? That creeps in a little bit.

Like, why are you doing it? Are you doing it for the money? Are you doing it because you want to be cool? Are you doing it? Because I'm like, no, like, I love the game. And it also shows my kid like hard work. Like he sees dad working and working for a cause and a reason. And so I would say like this year, I'm going to, I can already tell you.

Yeah. Like I struggle. Yeah. I'm the same way. I struggle thinking of like how much. am I geared toward my ambition of everything versus like, you know, because you want to be home,

like I want to be around, I want to be around my daughters, like when they are this age. The formative years. Yeah. So, but you can't get them back. And every successful person that you would, you know, read about or listen to, whatever it is,

anybody who's kind of older had all their experiences, the one thing that they always say is they wish they would have spent more time with their family. And so I think having the awareness of that, I'm always having to kind of ask myself, what am I chasing by wanting to do this opportunity? How do you handle that though?

Because Bustin has grown immensely and this brand has grown immense, like huge, like rocket ship, but also with that comes more time. How do you, as a dad, knowing that you probably have a five-year plan, 10-year plan, and you're probably not even close to where you want to be, professionally handle that personally with your family.

Well, I think the first thing is being aligned with my wife. Like, we talk through a lot of scenarios and situations. And I feel like... Communication key. Communication 1,000% key. Because she'll, you know, she'll ask the why. She'll ask that, man, you're going to be going a lot. All the things to where I need to have, like,

an answer of substance, Not, I'm going to be laying in bed, but asking myself, like, yeah, what am I trying to? What am I exactly trying to do? Especially when you start, your finances are well. Like, you're good. And for me, I think about it in terms of, like, wanting to be around being helpful, being present.

I think about it in terms of, like, how many bedtimes I get to do. Like, with Scotty being 21 months, I'm very aware that, okay, I'm in a, I love the 16, the 22, a two-year-old. range. It's my favorite. So fun. They're only going to be, like, Scotty's only going to be 21 months. I'm going to have four weekends. But I think in terms of bedtimes, weekends, like the things of substance that, like,

you know, when they listen to Dad, tell a story, or play with them, all these things, getting them ready for school, whatever it is, I think about there, because I want to say every offseason, I'll be kind of positioned. I'll anchor myself in a way that close people in my circle know I'm not just going to do anything.

If anything, I want to take stuff off of my plate. And the reason being will be like the family stuff. Like thinking about how many bedtimes it could do. Like when we did ESPN last year, Taylor and I, we just took our salaries and we put it in private aviation. So that way we could go, we could fly out Wednesday night after bedtime.

And even though we're draining the next day, like laying in at like 12 to 1, 12, get to the hotel around 1, wake up 5, 5.30 for the pre-pro meeting. do the two-hour show and then fly back right after to where you get home in the early afternoon. You get a school pickup.

You can do whatever. Be there and then we would get to where it's dinner time and I have to leave because we're doing a Thursday night football stream. When I got to the end of the year, it's like, hey, I don't want to do Thursday night streams. If you guys want to, let's find a way to build around it. You guys can, we can build around you guys. If you guys really want to do the streams, you want to do it.

But I'm going to be a hard know next year because I just knew how much it kind of like, it took for my cut more than it filled setting boundaries yeah yeah i think i do a good job harder harder though than you think to set them because you see what you yeah yeah but also like uh the power of no like understanding that like hey here's what i'm saying yes to here's my why that i understand behind it what we're building towards and then anything outside of that i'm going to say no so for example there's an opportunity that pops up on a weekend and it hasn't been in the schedule for a while

unless it's been something that we're chasing or make so much sense in the world to do for busing with the boys, it's just going to be a no, it's just going to be a no for me. Even though I might have a little bit of FOMO, but I had a mentor mine, Ken Philippini, shout out Ken Filipini.

But Ken's always told me, having FOMO, when I bring this stuff up to him, he'll just say having FOMO is a lack of vision and boundaries. because if you know what you're trying to... Yo, hold on. Say that again. It's a bar. That's a bar. No, no, no, no, no.

FOMO is a lack of vision and boundaries. And so in his mind, he's like, if you know what you're wanting to get, so if I measure things in bedtimes or weekends or as I, like, look to, whether it be the NFL season, whether it be, hey, one of our, if we talk like core values family-wise, like something that I see with my family, especially with my wife, Charo, it's adventure. Charles wants to go on. She wants to travel.

She wants to see the world. Went to the dolomites, huh? Went to the dolomites. But she loves to go on trips. So I'm not intentional about when are our pockets. I'm going to be gone here and here. I went to, we do Rosemary every year. We do 30A.

We do Hawaii after the season's over. We got to do, she wanted to go to Europe. She wanted to go to Europe for two weeks. Awesome. And then we did Bahamas just this longer weekend, this past weekend. But the two week trip in the year, the summer. She wanted to go do it. So it's just kind of talking with the team knowing like, hey, when are we going to have a lack or a lull? We'll get all of our interviews mapped out to where

it takes, you know, we're covered throughout the two weeks. But it's in the calendar. So anything that might pop up, there might be a cool opportunity for us to do. I already know it falls in that two weeks, I'm out. So if Taylor wants to do it and he wants to go and do it or anybody else, it's like we can find a way to build around it, but I've already kind of set my my boundaries are where my nose are going to be. what I can say yes to and when I can say yes. It's probably, I wouldn't say easy. This is just me assuming. It's probably easier now that you built what you built.

But back in the day when you hadn't built what you built, how did you handle that? Because you probably were saying yes to, but I guess you didn't have. I was going to say where I'm kind of, where I am lucky, not kind of lucky, where I am lucky is having the IP and creative freedom

as we built Bustin with the boys. You own it. to where you, yeah, you own it and you kind of get to pick and choose what opportunities you're going to say yes to. There's obviously a growth phase or growth stage with each, you know, vessel every year that we can say yes to. But fortunately, we've just been in a spot where we've kind of controlled how much we commit to and not commit to.

Because when I was playing in the NFL, I didn't have Rue. I didn't have Rue until my career was pretty much done. Yeah. But when I experienced Atlanta or going to Atlanta and thinking about, oh, shit, like, dude, us football players are athletes, like, we are selfish as hell because if I had, we had Rue, because I wanted the, I wanted the same thing. I would have loved to have a kid, take a photo on the sideline, do all the things, right? Because it seemed awesome.

But how it turned out in how we had Rue, since I was out of the bubble and I could almost have a little bit more awareness or be a little bit more conscious of how much goes into parenting, if we'd had Rue when I was fucking truly undrafted, trying to make a team every year, finally on the team, getting a bigger role in responsibility. I'm like nothing else matters. Yeah, except my career. We got to figure out how to build around me because this is what we play in the NFL. We make this much money.

It's got to be built around my selfish self. That's how. You know what I mean? Like that is like. That's how I felt the last few years. And I would say selfish is such a great word because you, I would say it's not as much me being selfish as my wife being selfless. 100% and that's the hardest thing to understand as she puts all the hopes and dreams she has on the shelf

to like where at some point I didn't even I didn't even know nor I cared but it was just so far out of my mind on what she wanted because I'm like we're in this together but in reality it started turning when we did have those kids and when are we still in there and then then you start thinking like oh my gosh like she I see my wife struggling yeah like she needs a another adult another parent with like and I just felt such massive dad guilt not necessarily that I couldn't be there to help more so because I saw her vision on what it what it could be and I'm like oh this is so much more important than ball yeah you know what I mean yeah because you can probably think back to times because you had kids while you were playing yeah but now you can probably look back

because I would have just been blind to it times where you could see it you can probably notice it wearing on them and they kind of need you for something and your simple thought is I need to get eight hours tonight. Or I need to get my recovery. Hey, we got money. Let's just hire help. Yeah. And in reality, it's like, nope.

Nothing replaces his house. In their mind, it's like it's not even fucking about that. Nope. Not even close. Yeah. Something I, yeah, I think about that stuff all the time. What's another good question I had for you? Do you have a favorite?

Favorite kid? Yeah. Behind every night spent making the kids' lunches, there's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat the veggies? Will the pastos survive the first bite? Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all?

We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network. Our show is extremely accessible to first-time listeners. Each week, we talk to someone in show business, aka the biz, and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, not that great. Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head, right?

How about we flip this script? What is the surprise woman? Actually, you think is the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird. Adam Scott. This entire time, you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. I would never expect. Let go of that. I have, I would never set expectations for something like that to happen.

If the universe allows for something like that to happen, I'm open to it. I'm always going to accept. You know, Danny McBride, fine. Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity exuding. I could smell it walking down the hallway, to be honest with you. I was like, is that weed? Nope, it's fragile masculinity. Ben Stiller, no.

Because a lot of times, out of context, people don't get it or even know what a circle is. is. You know what I mean? They're like, oh, what's the state. Everyone's so dumb. And fake. Right. Fake and also not interested or just like, oh, I've got my life. I don't care about your life.

And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Oh, and by the way, Will Ferrell told us personally he loves the show and he wants to be a guest on every episode, but he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we. share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero,

and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us, Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Hoda Kotbby, host of the podcast, Joy 101 with Hoda.

If you know me, you know, I'm always searching for inspiration and useful tools to maximize joy. So this podcast lets us uncover those things together through meaningful conversations with fascinating people. Like when my friend Henry Winkler offered advice to aspiring actors and really anybody hoping to stand out. You're not hired just to fill time and space. You're hired to fill the space with you. You have something in your guts.

You go with it. And Sean Johnson recalled the moment she realized her now husband, Andrew, was the one. He was just so unapologetically himself and knew nothing of Hollywood. He hadn't been on a plane before without his family. It was so pure. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Bot flavor. Which one? Is it in here?

Let's start with favorite kid. Favorite kid? It changes by day. I feel that. I'm the same with Scotty and Roo. I don't think I have a favorite. How does it vary from your boy, your firstborn, your boy to your girls? Well, if I didn't have a son, the Daniel bloodline died.

Or you sniffed? No. Oh. I'm just saying still in there. Yeah. Oh. That ship's past.

But I would say because like every dad wants a boy, right? Like he's just like, oh, you know, especially because it's like my dad was an only child. I was the only son. I have a sister,

Lindsay, who's older. But like, I was like, dude, if we don't have a son, like the Daniel name dies. So there's a lot of pressure.

and when we had it was like, yes, you know, it's awesome. First one, good for you. First one. And he's great. Like, it's awesome. But then you know, you have the girls and your heart just sort of melts. You know, it was like one of those things. It was our, our boy and first girl, Parker, Preston and Parker, they're two and a half years apart.

And then Parker and Ashton are 16 months apart. And so when we had our daughter, it was just like a whole other, she was a COVID baby. and she was born February of 2020, like literally. And so that's a whole other thing where we never got to go outside. And it's like, oh, man, crazy. But she, it definitely changes from, from boy to grow. Because like as a, as a boy, you're like, I get to sports and I get to this and I get that. But then you switch to girl.

You're like, oh, my gosh, like one day I'm going to give her away to somebody else. Yeah, right. The protective nature. you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, no, like, you're, you're, you know those memes all the time. I'm like, I'm like doing something so my kid will never think you're cool. Like, you know what I mean?

Like, um, dating my daughter. So now you won't have to live on this dorks. You know what I mean? Like those, those reels and those memes. So yeah, it differs. I mean, I don't think I have a favorite. My, like, my wife and I are like, who's your favorite today? You know, we'll have like those things.

Like, I think what I think. what I think is more favorites is there's different phases that each kid goes through. Like our hard ages for all the kids, they weren't the terrible twos at all. It was like three and a half to five for us, which were like terrors. All three of them. All three.

I agree that three is way harder than two. Terrible three age years. Great. Like it's awesome. And so that was really hard. But then like when my son got to like six, he like really started getting into sports. I'm like, dude, this is sick.

Like we're out there playing catch. I get teaching him stuff. And then, you know, now he's getting to an age where third grade. He's trying to push boundaries a little bit. So that's a whole other phase. But then like, you know, girls who's six and a half,

she's acting like a nine year old. I was reading a book the other day. And I never really thought about this. But so we have three kids. Our family is the age of our oldest. So think about all the, so our family right now is about to turn nine years old. Everything we do is predicated on the first kid.

Our six and a half year old, well, she's seeing nine year old movies. She's listening to nine year old, our five year old. It's the same thing because what do you do as a family? You have a nine year old that's acting like that. So we're talking to all of them like a nine year old. We're not talking to them like a five-year-old.

So that really hit home because then you start talking about, well, how much do they know about sex and how much do they know about this? And like the talk will come relatively soon with him. He is close to you know what I mean? And it's like, well, what do you want to like? Jesus. I came so nonchalant for you. stop.

Oh my God. For the quote graphic, what was that tugging on Bellwine or his? What did you say? He's so close to tugging away. Do not put that on a graphic. My wife would kill me. But there's like that.

So you're starting to think about that. And it's like, oh, gosh. Like that's a real conversation. Like we want, we want to be the first, we want him to hear it from us. And so there's just different phases of life that you go through that are not my favorite.

Some are my favorite. But yeah, I mean, like we're getting to an age now. We went to France, but we didn't take them. But like next year we're like, oh, our five real is going to be six. Perfect travel age. Yeah. Like can handle her own for the most part. We're almost in that.

We're like out of diapers. We're out of pull-ups. We're out of all these certain things. Like one kid sits in a booster. Like the travel age is. starting to come so we we enjoy that yeah um can i ask a question for the peanut gallery as well yeah do it so we have had a seance on this show to try to get rid of the the girl curse we've had people right in we've had people say soak your balls in ice what did you do differently

producing the male that like not any of us in this room but like a friend of mine that i could tell later named like billy c or something what could i tell him billy about having a boy that you would recommend advice wise you mean will he see I didn't know fingers point. Hypothetical. Hypothetical. Um, I don't know. We didn't do anything different, man. Just takes a man to make a man. That's what I'm saying. So you got to start shooting these things, Don. I've been trying. I've heard, I mean, through the grapevine that it's just, welcome for the dads, man. Yeah. Anyway. Have you heard of Randall Cobbs? No.

He was on busing. He said to the right, to the left, two in the middle, let it drizzle. Yeah? Yeah, he said that on the bus. Have you tried it? Have you tried it? I can't make it to six.

Dude, this is definitely for the dads. Yeah, I got to the right, but. Yeah, that's it. Too pumped. We have fun on the show. Have fun here. What's your wife's name? Hillary.

Hillary. we have fun on the show. We have fun on the show. I have a question for you that I enjoyed asking Greg when he was on. Because he's got ones, they're going to the high school. Yep. So a little older in yours. But what is something that you have changed your mind on compared to where you were? Yeah. Maybe at an early age. Wow. That's a great call. I would say, and this really comes from my wife, I would say that if I were like if I was the say in the family in terms of like just me then we weren't communicating we weren't doing anything like that I because going off instinct from you yeah I would um and my instincts usually about that or not great I my wife is like so

much better at the stuff and thank thank God for her but I would say because like we grew up at least me like we go to blockbuster video we'd be watching PG-13 movies and like left and like no issue at all. It'd be there'd be cussing in there. They'd be all sorts of stuff in there. And I was, I never cussed when I was younger, but it was just,

it would infiltrate whether you know it or not. And like I grew up. And like I vividly remember sixth grade year. We had just sold our house in Irving, Texas on cross-bend court. We had moved right across the street into a rental house.

We were building our house in South Lake. I was born and raised in Irving, Texas. where the cowboys used to play were building a house in South Lake and I remember these old boom boxes and with the CD there was a JZ CD I think it was like

the one with hard knock hard knock life on it and like I remember vividly my mom without a doubt like no issue at all buying the album

and it had an E on it for explicit like no issue at all and I would just sit in my room because I loved rap music. Still this day, I just love the old school, like rap. What athletic white boy didn't. Yeah. I mean, right. And so, and I remember vividly that Jay ZCD putting it on and I would just learn every single song. I would just rewind, rewind, right? Until I learned every single song. All these songs had like cuss words in them. Yeah. And I'm like, that's not a big thing to us, but I think to answer your

story, like my mom and dad were so relaxed on, not relaxed. They were pretty, but there was never an issue on what you were watching or hearing. Like be careful what's your eyes and ears here, little, you know, that whole thing. I would say like my wife has done a good job in that aspect. It's like we're like old school Disney movies. Like there's no PG-13. We're very, very vivid on like what we allow in our kids' ears and eyes.

Because we want to protect their innocence as much as possible. And this world is 10 times crazier today than it was when we were, growing up and sure, but ultimately that's just sort of who you become specifically in their transformative years. So I would say like what we are very, very aware what they're reading, because my son loves to read what they're reading, what they're listening to and what they're watching. And our school is a private Christian school. I don't want to say it. I don't want to say it. It's got that. Our school is a private Christian school. And they do an amazing job raising our kids. how we want to do it too with us.

And so I think that to me, if I was the wannabilla, yeah, we did it. So what about the voices that are there where it's like, oh, they're going to learn about this stuff anyway? I would say that we are very proactive in age-appropriate conversations with our kids and being the first ones that they hear from. Because if you do that, and we're going through this,

like I was saying, if you do throughout, we're about to go through it, if you do that you are then the truth figure in their life meaning like oh dad said this i believe him if you have any questions at all just come ask me versus you here maybe you're something at school and they're getting to an age where i'm sure you know stuff like that's being or something like that yeah is being talked about but i always want to be that figure in their life that they can always tell anything to they don't feel judged but i'm i'm the one and we're not going to be perfect at it but it's a really hard balance I'm like trying to find

what's too much yeah what's not have you had a do you have it a an example with your son yet on something that you figured out that he might have learned and trying to weave yourself into having a conversation with him not yet he's like so innocent and I think it's because and that's that's the way we want it to because like I mentioned And it's true now. It's like, well, our age of our family's nine. Well, Johnny over here has a 16-year-old brother and a 10-year-old brother, and he's six.

Well, that's six-year-olds in a 16-year-old's world. So he probably hears a lot more, and he could then bring precedent to it. So we just try to, there's been no specific examples of that yet, but I think we're on the cusp of, like, figuring that out. That's what I was excited to kind of ask Greg about or learn from, from his wisdom or failures on is having just his girls being older stuff that you might hear about from them going to school and you're kind of like leaning on your wife like hey I really want to

figure out what's going on here and wife he's like no no no no you got to stay patient you got to stay back you got to let them come to you and it's like I don't want to sit and wait for it I want to go and talk about that's what Greg was saying um or I was almost maybe putting were like I was kind of framing it all as like one question and he was more so defaulting to his, he's like, my wife's much better than that. He's, he alluded to a couple of times he's put his foot in his mouth, but I don't know if he was talking about the exact example of it. Right?

Everything he said was his wife handles a lot of that stuff. Like to answer the question specifically, a lot of cell phone stuff was his answer for it. But he was basically like, my wife runs the ship and I say, listen to your mom in a Greg Olson way. He said he was hot doing it, but that's basically. Yeah, like something he changed his mind on was like Snapchat or something with technology. Snapchat, dad is what he always said. But he said cell phones was his,

his, like, biggest one because there was an age they agreed on and then it moved and stuff. So are your kids, is nine way too early for a cell phone in your house, I'm assuming? What? That's what we're looking for right there. That's called me a shot. Dude, some parents, you know, they're, I'm sure there's nine-year-olds walking around. I'm not judging. I really am not because I can, I promise you I'm not,

but there is no way in hell anyone in my house is getting a cell phone until they're 16 and driving. Point blank, I could care less. if your kid is, if my kid's the unpopular kid, the device culture that we live in today is, oh, you can have a head now with that one. It's an epidemic. It is, it is so much of bullying, so much of anxiety, so much of everything that goes into this world.

I'm a firm believer on. So what we've looked into, not now, not even close, but we've looked into different phone companies, that are literally just a dial. Like there's no internet, there's no anything. Because, dude, like nowadays,

everything, you could, there's, there's porn pop-ups in games nowadays. In, in culture of tablets. Why would I put my kid in that, like I said,

this is how we parent. Yeah. Yeah. And every parent's different, and that's fine. But how we, as for our house, we, no shot. No shot. You don't think you'll change your minds.

You get closer to that 16? I will remember this episode on 4th, that at 63. And I will look back at myself and say, there is no way that is happening. Oh, I love that, man. That is one thing I'm like, me and my wife see very strongly on. Yeah. So if he's out there with, if my son needs a walkie talking his room that reaches 5,000 miles, then we'll find it for me.

Bring the lane line back. We have it. We have it. We have, um, what's the landline? line phone. And now that's everyone. The one like the community lane line to where if like friends have it. Yeah. What's it called? I forget what it's called. It's um. I know. I know what you're talking about. They have the big phone. Yeah. It's like purple wired. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Community phone. No. It's like a way for like a community. They say say they have friends that go to school and all the parents get on the same page and say, no, I forget

all the parents. All the parents kind of get on the same page. And like we're going to buy this landline phone in case they want to call their There's like, there's like nine of our, there's like nine of our family friends that have it. We got it for my daughter. It's a startup company. And it's literally just like a phone you, it's on our, it's on our, it's in the kitchen, actually. And you just plug it in. And it's, you can't dial out. There's like a six digit code for each friend.

Like my sister has one. So my niece and my daughter can talk. Yeah. But it gives them a little bit of freedom. Mm-hmm. But yeah. A little bit of independence. Yeah.

But, uh, Tin can. Yes. Tin can. Awesome. Shout out tin can. Don't shout out. Don't shout out to tin can.

Sponsor the pod. But I'd say, yeah, no, no device culture, at least for me. Like, that's just, that's a no-no. Like, they can learn so much that they don't need to see and hear. Yeah. You know, I mean. A pot take or not. Like, I don't think a 10-year-old should, why do you need a phone?

You get Apple watches you can talk to your parents on. Yeah. It is. You can see how much you can even, uh, It can bother like anxiety and comparison and all that just with us as adults. Think about social media just for us. Like comparison's thief of joy, man. Yeah.

Like we're trying to raise joyful kids up in Christ through the Lord. Like that is our like one of our things as a family. And I just think it's even for us, even for me. Like I'm like, oh my God. Like I'm like, what am I doing? Like I see my hours or time screen on my phone, my phone time or whatever. What am I doing spending six and a half, seven? hours on my phone a week. Like, what are we doing? What's been the highest you've seen?

For me personally? Yeah. I think I'm around the season. I'm at least seven and a half, eight hours a day. Yeah. And it shouldn't be that way. Like I think that you're talking about boundaries that you're setting. That's one this year. Specifically now that I'm going to be gone Wednesday through Saturday night, Sundays, um, that I really want to set is like when my kids are with me. Which if you think about it, not a lot now that they're in school full time. Right. I want to be really, really invested in them.

Put the phone up. It can wait. It's not easy. I don't do it. It's not perfect by any means. Or even when you are getting on and doing screen time, having your intention of whatever it is. Yeah.

Go and accomplish it. Yeah. It's getting caught up in the doom scrolling. Oh. I can dooms scroll now. Oh, yeah. For sure. Hey, Will.

We need a wrap. We need a wrap? Yep. So the boy can get to the airport. Let's get into a dad hack. Let's get to know the PT6 community a little bit. This is going to be under dad hack. So what you're going to do here, Chase,

is I'm going to read the first one and we can talk through it. Then you're going to read yours, but this is the community reaching out and talking to the boys right now. This first one comes from T.J. Whitton, this is via email. T.J. Whitton says, good morning afternoon, fellows. Boy, do I have a dad hack for Willie One Shelf? Or shall I say, Willie One Brade? Willie one braid in this case.

Hearing we'll talk about braiding roo's hair. And if you can make a high ponytail, let me tell you that you can definitely make a ponytail braid. So make sure your wife has a good spray bottle. Put the hair up in a ponytail. Wet that thing down a good bit. Section it off into three sections and twist it together. It's such a good way to learn. Below, I have attached a picture of what I'm talking about with my six-year-old rock star,

Briley. She's got a little photo he sent in. But I've always struggled. I don't know how to braid. Are you a braider? No. Have you ever tried learning? So.

So no. No, I've never tried learning. I've tried it. Yeah. Say my wife tried showing me and you tried doing it. You're like, oh, my fingers is a little too thick. It's so ridiculous.

It's like, when the wife's gone, like I love having all three kids to myself. Like, I'm at home fighting in the trenches, but like I feel, I feel good. And so after the shower,

like my middle daughter, Parker has really, um, like just thick hair like her mom. like yeah amazing and so we right out of shower we're brushing it and she's like dad can you do an elsa braid for me i'm like no and i'm like wait yes i can you know i'm like telling myself and i do it and boy it was so bad but she did her reaction to it the first time i tried it she looks in the mirror looks in the mirror she's like daddy i love it i'm like oh my gosh okay

yeah yeah so bad i'm sending this picture my wife mom was like that's so bad you know I figured out, Parker, she's such a good liar. I will say, like, my wife puts it up like high pony sometimes. And so you just have to braid the ponytail and everything else is up much easier. Oh, there we go. That's the dad hack right. It is much easier. DJ.

Yeah, it is true. All right. Now, here's where you go. You read your dad hack on the deck. In Rose 807 underscore Spotify. From Spotify. There you go. All right.

In Rose 807, five days ago. Dad hack for the hunters. Since hunting was brought up a few times this episode. We all love to take pictures of our deer with our little ones. What I have done since the first deer picture I took with my boy was have them hold up how old they are with their fingers. Cool. Now I can look back at pictures and know exactly how old they were. So that's for the dad hack on photos.

You a hunter? No. Were you in Texas? Nope. Is your parents? Nope. Or was your old man? No.

Really? Yeah. We grew up in such a sports culture. Like I, um, first hunting story is first person to ever take me. hunting on it because we never had time i never really wanted to we never fished and we're a hunter when we're outdoors uh mark brunel oh and my rookie year of new orleans took me out first shot my first ever deer with how is that it was awesome it was like getting late at night it was dark i'm like this sort of sucks dude we're out there's like what are we doing we're sort of sitting here he's

we got a trail boys. He's like loving this. I'm like, I don't know what you're doing. Sure enough, we go into the tree line. Falls a trail blood. There it is.

First year ever. Last year, really. I never, I was like, oh, it's cool. You know,

we took it back to the day. and gutted it. My first hunting experience was with my old man. And I was kind of like the way you were feeling. I'm like sitting by a fucking tree. I'm like, God, it's cold out here. This kind of sucks. I was falling asleep, dozing off.

All of a sudden I like wake up and I see my dad's pointed up. He sees his buck probably, I don't know, 30 yards away. Yeah. Not far. He shoots it. Buck takes off. Like he hits it. he doesn't drop it.

Shoots, gets to where it kind of stops again, shoots. My dad puts six rounds in this buck. Took one of the antlers off because he missed. He took one of the antlers off. And we're walking. We've got to sit there. You know, I have death sitting wait.

We're sitting wait. You know, wait for it to go off and die. He's like, oh, let's go track it down. I'm sorry about that, buddy. I was like, oh, shit. it's okay this again first like actual action we're walking then all of a sudden it pops up and it goes

hey get back no yeah yeah yeah yeah seven rounds no this is part of the six okay jobs like we're walking up on it and it starts fucking moving again it's seal crawling and my dad's like hey

who else you stay right here we're fucking slatters this thing right and front of me, man. I'm like nine maybe. Oh my God. Ten years old. Take your son to do that, Chase. And then we have to... How was that memory? You can see in the photo, you know, he's smiling.

I'm like reaching like... Yeah. And, uh... Did you hold up nine fingers like, uh... Yeah, like the dad. Oh, you took those off. Yeah. And then you could have, we had to drag it up this holler. I, just a brutal day. I didn't hunt.

pretty much until the NFL after that. Yeah. Then I'd go to Texas with a Colt. Oh, yeah. Colt. I mean, he's like the governor of Texas, bro. Yeah, he's dialed. But, yeah, that was, have you seen that photo?

No, I'll put it up. Oh, they'll shoot too, so you can throw it up. It's down in the archives on Instagram. It's a long ways ago. But the old man, he doesn't blame me that I never showed back up again. Six rounds. Do we have any more time?

We got a wrap. dude I loved having you yeah I mean dude we went like two and a half hours on the bus yeah here I feel like there's more for PT6 tuning in right now Chase Daniel he'll be on the bus next week yeah

you got to get some QT in with the fam holy time baby pop at team six. Yeah. And this is also the man that rated crisp apple number five. All good. We didn't even talk about that.

What's your favorite? Shirley Temple. Shirley Temple. I just, I love. I was a big Shirley Temple fan growing up. Like, well, Sprite with three cherries. Grow into restaurants. So I think that's probably why.

I mean, the Peaches and Cream one, I think is awesome too. Banana cream is. Banana cream's great. A little too many. See, you're like the apple and banana guy, like the fruit heavy. It's like, okay.

It's all right. Crisp apple's not one though. Like, it's not like. Willie, his list right now goes and you can correct if it's. Yeah, this was like last. Yeah, this was May 24th and then he has a slight update recently. But Shirley Temple 1, Raspberry Sherbert 2, black vanilla 3, cream soda, four, I'm a cream soda guy.

Five crisp apple recently put out there that peaches and cream might bump one of them out. People are saying it's crisp apple. I wouldn't drop Chris Papel out of the top five. I would probably drop. I love cream soda. Raspberry sugar or blackberry vanilla is just okay. Got excited when it first dropped. Got excited.

Super recency bias. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was that way with watermelon lime when I finally tasted that one. I never tasted water melon. Because the first one I fell in love with was a classic grape. Love a grape soda.

Love classic grape. Then I met Crisp Apple. Then I messed watermelon lime. And, cream sauce is hard to find in California. Yeah. I mean, I can order it, obviously, but like a store can and sell it. But I love that you engage because Pt6, we talk about OliPup a lot.
