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

Cause at the end of the day... us dads have no idea what we're doing.   Alongside Will is his producer Sherman Young, a 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 -----   SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS True Classic - Upgrade your wardrobe & save at www.trueclassic.com/forthedads  Wayfair - Get organized, refreshed, and ready for the holidays for way less.

This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you. you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano. It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast, point game, the playoffs. We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season. And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments. If we didn't talk ever again, I was harmed. You just understood. That's how personal it got. Wow. Then after that game seven, Mark keep coming to him. He's like, you know I love you, dog. You know, it's all love. This was just playoffs. This was just basketball. So listen to Point Game on the I Heart

radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, and on my new podcast, How Hard Can It Be? I call on my Gen X squad from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS. Unfiltered conversations from night sweats to futas to scheduling sex. Wait, what sex? Is it just me or does every woman my age want to look at Pinterest instead of having sex sometimes? They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter.

Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. PT6, huge episode this week. But before we dive into it, very briefly, want to mention that at the end of this episode, we did a little story time, something that you can play on Halloween night for the kids. It's safe for the kids.

It's a fun little story time. we'll have some visuals on the screen that are fall and spooky. You can leave it playing. Tonight you don't have to read story time for the dads is going to read story time for you. We hope you enjoy. Also, do not forget homework assignment. What values do you want to pass along to your kids, Will's lesson of the week last week? We're giving y'all an extra week to say what that value is that you would want to pass along to your child.

You can put that in the comments of YouTube. You can put it in the comments of Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, whatever you'd like. And we'll find it. We'll talk about it in the next week's episode. We hope you enjoyed this week's episode. See you, Ptysikos here in a sec. Popa Team 6. Welcome to another episode of For the Dads.

This is episode 21. Right now we are recording on Friday. This is before our Tuesday. boo at the zoo. You're listening to this drop. Clearly it's Wednesday morning. You're just waking up. Maybe you're working out listening to us.

Maybe you're taking out the trash. Always got to make sure the trash is out. Just got done mounting your wife. Just got done. It's a kid show, man. Sorry, sorry. You got to assume the families are watching this. This is sitting around the TV.

Maybe you're enjoying, yeah, maybe you're enjoying it in the evening time with a cocktail. Matter of fact, I do have a question from a YouTuber, for Big Dinos underscore underscore on YouTube or maybe just Big Dinos. Yeah, Big Dinos. Is it recommended to watch this show with a cocktail or a coffee asking for a friend? Ooh. There's not a right answer there. Maybe you're in the morning heading to work and you want some hot black coffee.

You love listening to For the Dads. Or maybe you wait till the evening time. I did see another commenter saying he listened to the audio. He can't wait to watch it with his wife when he gets home in the evening time. Maybe with a cocktail. But there's no wrong answer here. We are happy you're here. This is a show for the dads.

Also, we know that there's some milk team sickos out there, some milk team sixers. That's the mamas. We got some moms out there watching with their husband. Maybe you're a Seaman Team Sixer. That is the young man's game. You're playing for the love of the sport. The leader, your leader for Seaman Team Six is Chef Jack. He's a producer in the back.

We got the Goon Berets where you're just, you know, they keep you on your toes. That's the young generation right there. You don't know what they might tune in before the dads. They might not. They're chasing. They're chasing. They might listen while they're playing Rocket League or call a dude. Yeah, yeah, something like that.

Or trying to troll or drop memes on the internet. Yeah. Redd-in-something swag or something. Yeah, something like that. And then you got the Papa Team Sixers. That's the dad military. That's the Dad Army. Matter of fact, there is a call to action right now.

We are pressuring Oli-pop to make a Pop a-Drip 6. because they are a new sponsor of our show, and we love Oli-pop. If you listened to us last week, we went on like a five-minute segment about Ollipop. My favorite is grape. Sherm's ripping the vintage cola over there. I personally, again, if you weren't listening last week,

Oli-pop grape is a top-three drink in my life. Classic grade. Classic grape. Oli-pop, classic grape. When I go on my little gas station runs in the evening times every now and then, it's for an Oli-Pop grape. Yep. and for a little bit in the old lip.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. You get ready to play some PubG with the boys. What do we got, man? What's new with you? I know we got a lot to cover on this show. We actually do have a ton to cover.

We were talking before the show. I do have a public apology that I just kind of wanted to knock out. A public apology? Public apology, PSA. I just want to get it out of the way. And then that way we can dive into comments and we can talk and catch up about everything. but I. Public apology. From yours truly, Fat Stafford.

Fat Stafford. We got Willie One Shelf over here. Yes, sir. Let new dads know before you hit the public apology, what dads can be expecting or moms or you just love listen to the boys. Maybe you love some dad talk. Maybe you're not a father yet. Yes.

Tell them what they can expect to hear in our episodes before your public apology. Before the public apology, here's a really good breakdown of the show. You're new. You just clicked on this. things you could potentially see. You could potentially see Willie One Shelf over here, Will Compton, or Fat Stafford, Sherman Young over here, bawling our eyes out, talking about how much we love our daughters, maybe reading a comment for one of our listeners about how much they love their kids. Vulnerable comments that have been coming in, yeah. Vulnerable comments. But then

let's then turn the knob and maybe two minutes later, we're talking about mounting our wives. Yeah, we're giggling. We're farting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're a high, and lows of fatherhood. The highs and lows of fatherhood. Yeah. And then quickly followed by, hey, kid show, let's tone it down. What are we doing? But it's a great mix. I think people are having fun with it. Yeah, great mix of our experiences in fatherhood as a husband, telling stories. That moment of when you spell a cuss word in front of your kid or like spell a word that you don't want them to know. Yeah. That's like this podcast is that moment. manifested. I like that. Yeah. It's like when they get old enough to know like milk and you're just

telling your wife, hey, the M-I-L-K, did you have it? Did we run out of it? Yeah, did we run out of it? I don't want to say the word in front of her right now because it's going to perk her up and then she's going to start yelling at me for some milk. She just cleaned her plate, but I just checked we're out of C-O-O-K-I-E's. Yeah. W-T-F are we going to do? Yeah. The cookies. That's a, that is one that you have to spell out like, hey, you think she's going to ask about the C-O-O-K-I-S because we are out. We do need to pivot. Is it going to be the A-P-P-L-E-S-A-U-C-E? You pick up what I'm putting down?

Yeah. And, you know, they love that S-A-U-C-E. Yeah. And dad's sitting there, too, when mom's spilling out, they're like, you know, trying to keep up. Hang on, let me draw this out of my head. What's that? Oh, applesauce. Yeah.

Sweetheart, you don't have to spell the whole. word. The MT Sixers at home are like perfectly following along and some of the dads watching. They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you just spell, Brandon? Oh, you know, he's, you're spelling it. Snacks. He's spelling it.

But yeah, and as always, we do have our 601, the dads, call in. The hotline. The hotline that we go through. if you're an international listener, or maybe you're just long-winded, you like riding, you can also email us at 601 the dads at gmail.com.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, huge news? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas, we invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it.

We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we, how do we actually? actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys. I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Will Farrell's Big Money Players and IHeart Podcast presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne. Yeah. This is my best friend Janet. Hey.

And we have been joined at the hips since high school. Absolutely. Now a redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips, wider. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey with all the snacks and drink. Sidebar. Why

did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? They had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Do you want a white collar or something here? Just take it. What are y'all doing? Microphones? Are you making a rap album? I would. Come on. How did you believe? I would buy it. Cutts through the defense

like a hot knife through sponge cake. That sounds delicious. Oh, you're lucky. I'm not a drug addict. You're lucky I'm not an alcoholic. You are. You're lucky I'm not a killer. I love this team. and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Oh.

Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen. for. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game.

We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get to. the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick.

Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That's 601 the dads at gmail.com. And we will read those emails on the show as well. Yes, we play some voicemails. We read the emails. We read some comments. Continue to engage with this at for the dad's pod across all social media channels. YouTube, they're running it up every week. There's always great comments in the YouTube channel. We try to read as many as we can, can't get to all of them.

We do very much appreciate how much engagement, how much community this For the Dad's podcast has been building. But now that we have that out of the way, go ahead, give your public apology. Yeah. I don't even know what you're apologizing for. Okay. We covered what some would say is touchy stuff. yesterday with how we met our wives.

Last week. Last week. Did I say yesterday? Yeah. It's okay, though. We don't know what day of the week it is. We don't. When you're in the trenches, it's just a running clock.

It is. The fact that I'm here at work doing my job, that's a win. Yeah. That's a win. So last week, Will talked about how he met his wife. I talked about how I met my wife. The moment that I was like, oh my gosh,

this is going to be my wife. I'm in love with her. Will, I pretty much got everything wrong during that segment. Did you really? Oh yeah. Coach Jill set me down and had me watching tape. Coach Saving? She was like, what the fuck are you talking about here? Heavy cream and an olipop?

Are you crazy? And if we want, we can pause, roll the tape. Welcome back. So I said that. Her actual drink that she made, not because she was trying to be healthy will, because she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during pregnancy, is the reason she was.

made this drink. She is not a psychopath. And I quote, Chabani sweet creamer with olipop banana cream was her drink. So let me say that again, not heavy cream. We're talking Chabani sweet creamer mixed with banana cream olipop is a nice little sweet treat that you can drink when you're diabetic. end of quote there. Sherman, are you done with your public apology? I'm not done with my public apology. Can I get a tight?

Can I get a plea and just throwing a question? When you're getting this coaching, are you sitting there being like, I was barely off with the heavy cream part and I still said, Olippop. Thank you. Thank you. I mean, if we're really going to dissect it,

honey, I'm hitting all the things. I ran the, route. Maybe I didn't turn to the outside. Maybe I didn't turn to the sideline. Maybe I turned inside, but the corner was going to take away the side. Maybe I was one yard. I didn't get all the depth I needed. Yeah, 12 back to 10. Maybe I went 11

back to 9. But, you know, I ran the damn route. Dude, we were watching the episode and I truly felt like I was in a film room. We're just laying in bed at such a sweet moment. I'm like, oh, hey, wife, you going to love

this. I was waxing poetic. about her. I love her. She goes, oh, honey. You told the story, I didn't get two hot dogs. What are you talking about? Run that tape. Welcome back. My wife, Jill Young, didn't order two hot dogs. She ordered two beers in a hot dog, Will. Two beers and a hot dog. Asked me, is it okay if I get two beers? I said, yeah, honey, that'd be great. Oh, two beers and a hot dog. We got that cleared up. Thank God. So it wasn't too hot dog. It was two beers. It wasn't two hot dogs and a beer.

It was two beers and a hot dog. Okay. What am I thinking? I don't know, bro. You got to fucking dial it in. I'm a bad husband. I'm a bad dad. The details are tough on this show, man.

Yeah. Charles hit me up, but I try and keep it, you know, I'll try and love her from afar when she's talking about the four of the dad's details. She'll tell me, honey, we don't have a nunah. You've said it twice now on the. show we don't have a nunna. I can't even tell you the one that we got, but I'm just like, it seems similar.

Like, nunas are nice. You've brought up to me. You've come up to me and go, now which ones the, I know you, you have the nuna, but like, there's the duna, right?

I don't have the duna, though. Right? You're asking me what you have. I'm asking you. I don't know. She even hit me of him. She was like, hey, I was listening for the dads last week.

I see you shared my DM. and like, yeah, kind of giggling. Yeah, yeah. We didn't have too much conversation half of it. I'm just like, that's what happened. Any follow-up? No.

She was driving. She's in London right now. Oh, that's right. That's right. So they were going to the airport and she was just kind of, you know, we're talking about the morning that they had. We'll get in all, we'll get into that.

We'll get into it. But I kind of kept her at a distance. Like anytime she's like, I was listening before the ads. I'm thinking, here we go. What detail did I miss this time? But fortunately, it was more of like, I see you shared the DM that I sent you.

I'm like, that's our love story, sweetheart. That's our love story. Was she wearing a pro bowl hat? Are we sure it was a pro bowl hat? Positive it was a pro ball hat. Okay, good. Positive it was a pro bowl hat. At least we're one for two.

The only situation I was in is we're cutting a clip for our story. Yeah. And poor chef, he's got to find the cheerleader photos to put in the clip of your wife, mother of two. mother of two, back in her, you know, back in her prime. She,

sweetheart, you are still very much in your prime. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying none of that right now. Oh, God, no. Hey. Yeah,

I'm not saying any of that right now. You are an absolute smoke show, sweetheart. Isn't she, Sherman? She is. Did you see how I waited for permission there? Right.

And imagine chef trying to put the pieces clip together, wanting to use cheerleading photos, and they're all over Google. and when I saw the clip I'm laughing to myself because I'm like Charles going to hate these photos but I can't I feel bad for chef because chef's probably like scrolling like he's like do I use this one where she like I looked for the most respectable photos I possibly could yeah which they are yeah which they are but it might be yeah which they all are just right they like these ones look good but I don't like if I put that one in there what is that what is that saying what am I communicating to my boss like what am I communicating with this clip. Oh, yeah.

But I'm laughing. I text the group chat, hey, who made this clip? It's just like, I did. I'm like, buddy, I'm sitting here in bed in my hotel room laughing, just imagining the mental warfare

he's in trying to figure out what should I use here for these cheerleading photos when they're telling their story. And he was such a gentleman about it. He pulled me over to his computer very briefly, but essentially broke it down perfectly

of what you guessed and just said, Sherm, I'm, you know, I'm trying to just find a good picture of Charo and make sure, like,

they'd be happy with it. What do you think of this one? I'm looking at it. You know, that looks, that's very nice. That's a nice photo, Charo.

I think everyone would be happy with that. We sat there, and after that conversation, I might have asked Sherm three or four times, come check. Hey, do you like, just come look at it. So they're like,

everything good? And Sherry go, yeah, it looks great. I'm like, we like, we like the clip. I gave him a note that had nothing to do with the photos.

Yeah. Yeah, it looks good, man. Maybe bump the audio a little bit. That's great. I think it's a good clip. Yeah. Back to apology mode. Back to apology mode.

Just to close it out. I also, I do want to apologize on behalf of Will and I giving wrong information on the meetup. And thank you, chef, for catching that. and just kind of a little round of applause for chef for just giving us the proper info in there. I essentially just got on the mic and lie doll last week. That's kind of the breakdown. You got dead brain. I got that,

that's all it is. That's all it is. You're excited to talk about your wife. You missed on a couple details. Yeah. You didn't lie. You misremembered. You didn't lie.

I think the big thing is like, hey, the context of the diabetes. Yeah. Probably was, you know, in her head. hey, this is why it happens. And by the way, you got my drink wrong. It's banana cream, olive pop. Which is a great flavor, by the way.

Great flavor. And what did I even say? I don't even know what I said. We were talking there was like a dream sickle type flavor. Cream soda. Cream soda. With heavy whipping cream. I thought about that after you said it,

Sherm 2. I was going to add this. The best part of that whole scene was like, I think that was an old Southern trip. You throw the heavy cream in there and just went around. Wait, when I go, oh, okay, great. Yeah, that is normal. Oh, no.

You just picture like, you know, when your mom would just be annoyed with your dad, when he gets some storytelling wrong, you see it happening in real time with us now. Jill FaceTimed me at the office and have me put Derek on the phone so she could apologize herself to Derek. Well, she goes, Sherman, can he turn the phone around? Is that Derek over there? And I'm like, hey, Jill. And she's like, I want you to know, I'm not this psychopath that puts heavy whipping cream.

And she says, Shurn, turn the phone to him in the office. Well, he's looking like that with his face covered. And she goes, and also, it wasn't two hot dogs. It was two beers. And I go, Sherman, hot talks and beers are nothing alike. How did you mess that up? Sorry, Sherman. Hey, Derek, is Derek, can you turn the phone around and put him on the phone?

Derek, hey, I'm not a psychopath, okay? Hey, Derek has more than two brain cells. Put him on the phone. I had just showed him a text from, my mom came out of surgery and her and my dad had the day together. So they were watching the show. My mom texted me, she goes, Will and Sherm talk so highly of their women

and are just so amazing. And when I go to turn my phone, Jill's FaceTime. And he's like, oh, hold on one sec. And then Jill calls and is like, you are an idiot. I don't do heavy whipping cream. You are wrong. It was the best day.

So then I had to apologize to Derek's parents on FaceTime. and tell them, hey, my wife's not a psychopath. Also, woke up this morning, helping burp Scarlet, trying to be a sweet dad, get to the office. First thing I read from Jill, it's a picture of Chabonnie sweet creamer and an olipop banana. Banana cream.

Banana cream. She said, redeem me. Heavy cream my ass. So I get to go home to that later today. Very excited. Very excited. Love my wife. Love my wife.

We do. We do love Jill, man. Oh, she's the best, bro. And now I can have fun. The weights off my chest. I can't wait to break down more of these conversations when we get to the boo at the zoo meetup. Brother. Also, we are dead meat if our wives ever come on this podcast.

Like, that was a funny, cute idea at first. But now I'm just like, it would just be a Will and Sherman roast session for like two hours straight. We got to figure out like when they do come on like have some question game. Oh God. That's where we don't got a shot. I would say I think that I think what it is is me and Derek need to come up with all the questions. You guys just we won't even give you mics. Just give us one mic. Sherman and I have to sit next to each other. It's just one mic. We're basically at that point we're just on trial. It's not having a podcast. This is the trial of Will Coptin and Sherman. young. Oh my God.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special.

Listen to soccer moms on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed.

And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate. the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the

lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reed. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He run up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball like, I'll do. You go through a training camp with that Isaiah, you figure it out real quick.

Get your ass up and down the court and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Got a lead from the front, man. Lead from the front. This is what we do. Yes. Yeah. I am really glad that I do have you in my corner.

Always and forever, bro. Thank you, dude. Always and forever. You helped me a lot at Fall Fest when she was coming for my neck. Yeah. Yeah, and you just find your lanes to, you know, keep around, get her in moments to rile up, just to kind of smile. Yeah, you know he does it. You know, your boy, he's trying his best.

She was, she was getting me for something and Will just puts his arm around me and walks off with me. He goes, hey, man, it ain't nothing, man. You know that. Hey, you know that, man. It's all good, man. And I needed that in that moment. Yeah, I, so I had a week. I had these last five days, money through Friday with Scotty.

you one-on-one, Charles went to London with Rue for some one-on-one mommy daughter time, which they had an absolute blast, miss them dearly. They get home tonight. Of course. You know how it is, you get left home alone. How have you been? I've been all right. Yeah.

Puttering around the house. I will say it is boring and quiet, but you got to love the boring and quiet sometimes. Yes. Where you have that peace and quiet. it's like the cons is you miss them you see like Rue smiling in every photo they're truly having the greatest time it seems like they're having the greatest time ever which I love but it also gives me FOMO yeah makes me miss Rue makes me miss my wife like I can't wait to see him when they get home tonight but the pros of being alone is you have that peace and quiet you have that serenity you

have that I can do whatever I want when Scotty goes down and Scotty's easy bro Scotty she's She is all time. We play. I will say within the first four hours, she bumped her head twice. One was a tough one. One left the lump right up. Oh, no.

Right up above her eye. So that's my dad lost. Was that the one that you sent me? No. That one separate of the two? Yeah, that one's separate of the two. Oh, wow. So here's a video of Scotty giving the haters a reason to come after her walking.

Yeah. So she fell there, hit her head, bumped her head. And I'm sitting there recording. I'm like, oh, shit. You know, I stop and pause and I scramble. I'm kind of like, chuckling to myself. I'm like, this is how she has to learn. You know, you love, I'd love to be giving her some spotting hands and everything else.

I'm sitting there recording her, because she had nothing around her. The first time she popped her head, her popped her face is she's like walking and it was around the coffee table. Like, picture this. Yeah. Like walking around the coffee table. And she leans forward and hits her eye. like the, oh, the very, like, vulnerable spot in her head. Like the bone where the only skin.

She smokes it on the corner, bro. And, oh, I felt so bad. I felt so bad. Did it raise or leave a mark or anything like that? Yeah, I raised. She had a little swelling up top there. It was red. But she's a beast, dude.

You know, Scotzilla. Scottzilla is tough, but more so how does that information then get shared with Charo? Well, I tell her the next day. Yeah, yeah. I tell her next day. Oh, she popped her head yesterday. She popped her eye yesterday. And look how happy she is now.

Look at her. Where were you? What were you doing? I was on the couch. I tried getting to her. I said, oh, don't. Hey, don't do that. Don't do that.

I warned her. I told her. Sweet, I'll be careful. But, yeah, she hits her face. But it wasn't like, we had one situation when we were down doing a little vacation and Destin a couple years ago when Rue was a smaller. She was, I think, one at the time. and we had her, we got done with the beach,

we come back to the spot, and we're getting her milk ready to go, and I have a bluey book in front of her. She's reading the bluey book. One of us, I can't remember who. I'll just say it was me. Yeah. puts the bottle down on the table,

but the little coffee table is kind of, like kind of just enough away, where Root reaches for it from the couch and tips forward and smokes her face on the coffee. I'm talking blood, had to cut everything. I'm going down to Walgreens. just buy, give me the biggest first aid kit. Taking back to the house, yeah, she was cut up

and she was bleeding and everything else. So when I'm telling Charo about Scotty hit her, I'm like, it wasn't one of those situations. Like it was like Rue back in Descent. She was walking. What you were in, like the video that we posted of her having like those first steps caught on video to where the Denver Broncos were doing that comeback win

and we were all cheering. And you hear Charles say, oh, watch out for the table. I'm like, it was that situation, but she hits the table. Yeah, yeah. Hits it above her eyes. She's, you know, she's screaming, she's crying. But one thing I love, this is actually a simple little dad hack here,

is when they're screaming and crying, and when you felt like, you know, I'm sitting there loving on her, I'm holding her, I'm like, dad dad's here, it's okay. You know, kind of, you know, doing all this small talk to her because she's like bury your face in my shoulder. Oh, yeah. It's sad. But then when you get to a level of enough crying,

or maybe they shouldn't be, they're crying right now, but maybe they shouldn't be crying anymore type of situation in your brain, what I do as a dad hack is I immediately go to a photo, on the wall. You know how we have that wall of photos where it's like... Yeah, when you walk in the door, it's back to the right. Yeah, it's back to the right. It's got all those photos, all those family photos. Yes. I'll just

say, where the photos at? And Scotty immediately looks right at the wall. Like, I can just be around the area now. And I can just say, hey, where are the photos? And she pops up with a little smile on her face and she sticks her hand out and points. And we just kind of go down the photos. I'm like, oh, there's mama and dad. That says getting married. There's your grandpa. There's

Lola and Opa. And we're just going down photos. But she's totally fine after the Like when she fell on the video that we just showed, when she bumped her head and she's crying, I picked her up. And it wasn't that bad of a bump. It wasn't that bad of a lump. She falls down. It makes a video hilarious because I'm like, oh, shit. She starts kind of squealing and crying.

But I pick her up and immediately start walking toward that photo wall. And right when I get around the corner, I'm just like, hey, where are the photos? And she was done crying. She's like pointing at all the photos. So that's a simple little dad hack right there. It's a great dad hack that works. I've seen it in the wild. Shoutout Texas Roadhouse.

We were with Jill's cousin. And this was when their son, Easton, was like, one. He's in the high chair. And he totally has the strength to, like, hold himself up. But for some odd reason, just completely goes down, bangs his head loud, like a... Yeah, bro. And mom and dad instantly go, woo!

And so I go like that. And he just, like, with tears his eyes, he's like, yeah. I guess so. Yeah, I guess so. God damn it. Why could somebody catch me? Yeah, you can go that direction or the distraction.

Either one of them is a distraction. Yeah. But it works. It does work. And it's hard to catch yourself in the moment when you hear a loud noise and not like react. Like I was like, oh, shit. And go to her and she had already started crying. Uh-huh.

But if you have the wherewithal to be like to celebrate and try and catch them in the celebration mentality where they're still kind of crying or putting their hands together. But if not a good go-to-you-old. is just find a photo on the house, find something close. Oh, check this out. This is crazy. Look at this little cowboy right here. And they just start pointing at it and smiling. You know, you wipe their tears off. They might start whining a little bit more, but that's a good little dad hack. But yeah, I've been five days with Scotty. It's been a lot of fun. We've had a lot of like good times, good moments. I go and get her in the morning. Like going to get your,

going to get your little one. Like again, Scotty is 11 months old. Going to pick her up in the morning, like when she's waking up and in her crib and, like, walking in her room and just seeing the smile on her face to where you're, like, all excited, baby talking to them, like, tickling them and everything else. And you just kind of pick them up, go take him to the changing table. And what I like to do is, since it was just me, it's like, I'll go, I'll change her and everything else. And then I'll bring her back down to my bed and we'll just sit there and snuggle off here at the

bottle. Yes, dude. And then they just want to play, bro. Yeah. She's all about, if there's a survival kid out there, it's the little Tykes Reg car with the yellow roof. We've all had it growing up. Oh, yeah. It was one of Roos, it was like, like, Roos big first Christmas present when she was like one or two was this red little Tykes car. Scotty now loves it. She loves getting into it. I kind of walk and put around the house with it.

But she loves that. And we just used to have like a good time. He sit there. I crawl everywhere with her. She's really walking right now. So she loves to practice and like get up and walk and smile and be proud of herself. She has like this little hand that she like, she like hits as she's walking. We went to the park, had a little, did a little walk around a few times. She pushed her in the swing. And bedtime's

just easy with her, man. Read her a little Lama Lama. Reader the Lama Lama Lama Book. Lama Lama Lama goes to bed or something like that. Lama Lama Red Pajama. Oh, Lama Red Pajama. Ludacris does a remix to Lama Lama Red Pajama. You'll have look it up. He's got a song for Lama Lama.

But read her a little Lama Lama Rie Pajama book. She's feeding on the milk. You have the sound machine on. You cut the lights and you just rock back and forth. She falls asleep in your arm. You lay her down and then you got the rest of the night to yourself. There is such a...

You and Jeremy were telling me this earlier in the week. Like the older they get, the bedtimes, you know, once they're down, you have the rest of the night to yourself. Yeah, especially in that phase where Scotty's at right now because you can get them kind of down within 30 minutes. And they know what time it is. Where Rue, her being three, it takes a lot more negotiation. Yes.

Takes like a longer process. She can crush it at times. Other times she kind of drags things out and finds the angles to make it go longer. But in this particular moment with Scotty, it is. You're like in that easier phase if they're doing a great job of sleeping through the night, which she does. She knocks out 12 hours. But you get him down from that 7 to 730 range and then you're downstairs and you got like, what, at least two hours, two and a half hours to yourself.

At least. And for any new dad. I have to just pound it into your brain of getting the, I lost the word as I was trying to start. It's, you give your, the sleep schedule, the, what's it called, having a routine. Routine. There it is.

Okay, I want to pound this into new dad's heads, having a routine for your kid. Because you, when we first got pregnant, you kept on being Sherman. and hey, 12 hours by 12 weeks and do this sleep system or whatever. And we ended up going with a different sleep system. But it has set us up for success

to have those moments of your baby is napping at certain times during the day. So then when you're going into the nighttime feed, they have their last bottle of the day. I don't even, after I burp, Scarlett, I'm not even having to sit there and sing her songs. And so she's like this on me after I burp her. I mean, she's like ready to go in the crib.

And they know what time is because the environment, too. It's like all these systems you have around. Like the 12 hours and 12 weeks was a book that Charles and I read, that that's a system that we use. But it's, and yours was called what? Mom's on call. Mom's on call. Just find a system. And that does help set you up for success.

Because there's a lot of things in these books do that you just learn about the whole routine of everything. And even just the environment of them knowing when it's playtime, them knowing when it's nap time, them knowing when it's bedtime. everything in between. And everything has a cause and effect with the little ones. Yeah. Like if you do everything right during the day, that means that bedtime is going to go great. And then that means that wake up time in the morning at 7 o'clock on the dot,

7.50 on the dot, they're giggly, they're happy, they're smiling, they're so excited to see you. You put that first bottle in, they're like, I rested all night. I slept all night. And now I'm just ready to play and cozy with dad-da and poop, dude. And rip a shit. Rip a shit. God.

But I just wanted to, I say that because those are my favorite moments in the morning. Like when I was doing my notes for the show before I got here, I was just laying in bed, doing it on my phone a little bit as we had just burped Scarlet. Jill has Scarlet down on the pillow in our king-sized bed in between me and her. Yeah. Jill's just playing with her and I'm doing my notes for the show and I'm like, man, moments like these. Like, this is awesome. But you can't have those moments if they didn't sleep well the night before. Can't have those moments if they don't sleep well.

Will, did you, we had it. I think it was two episodes or last episode, a guy named Jack gave you the dad hack to put things in their hands when they started walking. Yeah. I wanted to try it. Have you tried it yet? Yeah. So Scotty, she's actually stood up with like a ball and stuff in her hand and I gave her

another ball. I do feel like it is helpful. Like she's stringing along more steps. So shout out that dad hack that was given a couple episodes ago. Maybe it was last episode. But it is like they just feel like they have something in their hand. I kind of love when she has her right hand open because she kind of hits one of these. She gets like a Cam Ward.

Kind of hits one of them. Yeah. She's like got it going like as she's walking and smiling and being like, yo, check this out, dude. The video that you sent me that I don't think you've posted yet. Have not posted that one yet. By the time this comes out, it will be out there. Okay, cool.

She had a definite moment of, oh, she almost lost it and just regained her balance. I said, she got her daddy in her. She got a daddy in her. And her mom. And her mama. And her mom. She was a ballet dancer. That's right.

She's got some athletic jeans. Can't sleep on mama now. You can't sleep on mama. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, huge news? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?

I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,

where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover,

and a Gen X woman walking through life, one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time. You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a perimenopausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard can it be with the Adamia Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood

as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How hard can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy?

That one's kind of hard. Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter, and dive into it unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of My Cultura Podcast Network available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Farrell's Big Money Players and IHeart Podcast presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne.

Just a little bit bigger hips, wider. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey.

With all the snacks and drinks. Sidebar. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Well, they had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Do you want a white collar or something here? Just take it. What are y'all doing?

Microphones? Are you making a rap album? Oh, I would. Come on. Come on. I would buy it. Cuts through the defense like a hot knife through sponge cake. That sounds delicious.

Oh, you're lucky. I'm not a drug addict. You're lucky I'm not an alcoholic. You are. I'm not a killer. I love this team, and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Oh. Oh.

Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio. app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Can't. Also, we skipped, we skipped some of our comments. We did. We can, Joe, yeah. Let's get into some comments. Last week during the quote topic lesson, there's some homework on what is a value,

hope your child carries with them throughout their life. We do have a few of those comments that we will, we have them actually have a labeled homework that we'll head toward the end of the episode. We do have some fun comments up top that we will read, continue to leave. comments throughout the episode. Please. Just a little dad small talk before we get going. Yeah.

Just a little dad small talk. If you missed it, I hit the survival kit, which is things that you need at the house, things that I say like, hey, this is great to throw in the old backpack, the old survival kit. The little tight's red car went through my dad, lost of Scotty hitting her head twice within the first four hours of me watching her. That was, especially after the second one, that was honestly, the second one was the video. I'm like, I got to tighten this up.

I got to tighten this up. Can't be letting her just crying. hitting their face like in day one of me watching old Scotty Jolie. Um, and then we had the dad hack. We had the dad hack of, uh, going if they're crying, going to a photo around the house or going to something to where you can get them up out of their tears. Gotta distract them.

Got to distract them. Give them a little distraction. But yes, you want to go ahead and hit the first, uh, comment? Yes. Uh, this one comes from Eli Schroeder 5096 on YouTube. Eli says, love the pod boys. I'm a relatively new father to my eight. month old daughter, Eleanor.

You see him up there, Moe in the yard, got the soccer ball out there, the house in the back during his sunset. Just a dad and his boy. She's a dad and his cub. Some bonded time over

mowing the yard. You ready for this photo? I've seen this photo. It is funny. This is from Ryan Zambrick. On Instagram now. Boys, dads, please tell me I'm not an asshole for telling my daughter. She can't take a picture she drew to a friend. at school. Personally, I did not want to get a phone call about this lovely picture of sock puppet dance party. I'm reading the comment and I'm like, I mean, what, like, what, how big it, like, what could this be to where you say she can't take a picture? Yeah, what's the issue there? Then I look at the photo. Oh, oh, wow. Oh, wow. That is, uh, it's a beat.

I just looked at the deer and I said, I don't have my contacts and I can't see. There goes, it's a piece. But I love how he sends it in. Like the photos, obviously, he's drawn like that. Little sock puppet up there sends it in sideways. Yeah, dads are out there laughing. Dad's out there giggling right. It's a Pt6 good joke right here.

Can I get a closer look at this guy? Because the detail on it. The detail on this sock puppet. Listen, if I'm in his situation, we're 100% taking the photo. Yeah. go take the photo show everybody go show everybody your art and go take it to that teacher that's been giving us a tough time I forgot to pack of lunch teacher made a big speak about it

but go show her sock bucket sock puppet dance party I'm personally taking a photo so I can show all the boys look at my daughter she's crushing it at school dude Ryan thank you that's hilarious that is so funny I got another one from Alan Lane 1991 this one is also on YouTube. A boy's brand new member of PT6 here. Welcome, Alan. Welcome.

My wife, Alyssa, and I just welcomed our first baby boy Hudson into the world. And wanted to send a huge thank you for the pod. I have a dad hack that could hopefully help another expecting father. Alyssa was super anxious and self-conscious about me looking down south. Or as we say, what was it on the other side of the wall? How did you always describe that? Oh, you're a watcher on the wall.

Yeah. Watcher on the wall. Yeah, yeah, you're a watcher on the wall. You start nights watch. Yeah, you're a watcher on the wall. He's talking about looking down south during labor. And honestly, I wasn't sure that I really wanted to look. However, to prepare going through the trenches in that big moment,

I watched a high-deaf video online of a woman giving birth. The weeks leading up to our due date, like watching game tape before the big game. After the delivery, hearing my wife gassing me up to her friends and family telling them how amazing I am during the process was the best thing I could ever have heard. As one shelf, Willie says, fail to prepare or prepare to fail. Keep up the great work on shelf and fat staff, chef and Derek.

Sending love from your pals up north Canadian flag. Alan, Alyssa, and Hudson. Oh, that is all time. All time. I always stay. I stayed north of the wall. Hey, don't blame you. Don't blame.

I stayed north of the wall. Jill, when she was going through nursing school, showed me a simulation of childbirth. that was like four or five years ago I still vividly remembered that just simulation video I can imagine them turning the child sideways and just

things that start out you know the size of this then turn out the size of that you know and it's just a little jarring it's a little jarred I can only imagine and it was something like Charles obviously she ended up having a

like when Rue was being boring. We were going, she wanted to be natural first. We ended up having to get in the C-section. I always forget that. That's, but even going into the process, the game plan was always, I'm going to stay north of the wall. She didn't mind that I stayed north of the wall either. Yeah, more power to you.

I just, you know. I'm sitting there and I have the midwife going, hey, dad, you'll want to see this, dad. And I'm sitting there like, I did not talk about this with my wife. And you're thinking, I don't know if I do want to see this. And she's down there going, you know,

pushing so this is not the time to ask for permission. Yeah. And then Jill all of a sudden is like, get down there. Yeah. I'm like, okay, I'll look. It was, dude. Yeah. It was a whole thing.

I shout out Stan Janus, but a buddy of mine, Logan, I've spoken about Logan a lot on busing with the boys. But his dad, Stan, I remember when we were young, I was probably 11, 12 years old. And he was talking about the experience and talking about, you know, just the shit. and piss and blood and everything else and just being a wee little lad. I'm like staring with that face. Yeah.

And I'm just thinking to myself, I don't think I could ever look at that. Yeah. And so I just think from a young age, it's just always been in my head, whatever the vision that I had back when I was that age, coming into the questions of, hey, would you want it on my,

I think I'm just going to stay up here. Stan scared you straight. Stan scared me straight. Yeah. He scared me straight. I will say for any hunters out there, if you are debating this topic of whether or not to go south of the wall, like the smells that you encounter hunting, when you're field dressing an animal, expect those smells. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

And I'll leave it at that. Yeah. It's all you can do. got to be pretty jarring. Yeah. The sights, the sounds, and the smells. I'm, I think it's hilarious that he was watching high-deaf, needed 4K. Let me watch tape. Because I want to say like people who do, I'm speaking for, like, I didn't do this. So I'm speaking for what I've heard through friends, through people that kind of talk about the experience that they feel seeing their wife, like seeing both of them, they're accomplishing this thing together. I feel like it's a very much like

a connective thing with your wife that it's your wife so you don't feel like you don't feel some type of way. I'm laughing about it thinking he's just going in to prepare for war. Yeah. Like I'm going to watch somebody else go through this where I have zero attachment just to see what I'm getting myself into. I'm laughing, imagining the woman that was filmed and some doctor coming in and going, and Rebecca, before we start the childbirthing process, we do have some students here today for research purposes. Would you be okay with us filming this today? And how in the world did she say yes to that?

Yeah. And then you have Rando over there with the camcorder just. Zoom in. Hang on let's get the cover up on you. All right, zoom in. Yeah. Derek said get the boom mic going if y'all can see him. All right, let's get another one here for safety.

Please. Hey, that was perfect, Rebecca. We're just going to do it one more. time. Yeah. Hey, Doc, we're going to need her to stop right here. We've got to reset a lens. We've got to get a different lens. Rebecca, can you stop pushing for a second? Talent is really loud, by the way, between shots. Are we okay with that? But yes, that was my car. So here we go. John Lewis, 6676 on YouTube. Just found out I'll be joining PT6 on July 7th next year, boys. Shooting for that Independence baby. Hey, that's a round one. Scott out John Lewis. I got another one here from I, Chef Nisky, Shafnisky?

That's a warrior that I am glad is on my team. Keep on, fellas. Pt6 motherfucker. That's what he said. Yeah. PT6 motherfucker. If I had that comment before Rusebirth, remember when I fucked that entire conversation up when Charles decided to get the C-Section, I swear her kind of feels like you're giving up a little bit

We got to pray for him that he keeps that mood throughout the entire process. That's where it gets challenging. That's why we embrace the good mentality here.

That's why if you're feeling in the dark and feeling low, you just pop on a for the dad's episode, just to hear us, whether we're pretending to embrace the moment or just reminding ourselves to embrace the moment. You can also get the good hats. We have hats. Those are in our store, bwtbb.com. They are. It says good on there. Just subtle reminder.

We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing,

a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little Notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

How Hard Can It Be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my mom. my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS.

Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard, no. Well, that's lighting.

They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter, and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, How Hard Can It Be?

And when she's like, oh, you did a good job mopping, be like, yeah, I did crush it because guess what, honey, I bought this. we got this new thing. It's super easy. You'll love it. Or you just tell her, I know you ain't even got to tell me. Or you can say that. What are these streaks? Oh, I'm sorry. I don't think I heard thank you come out of your mouth from mopping the floor. That's crazy.

Yeah. Hey, it is good to see you, though. By the way, dinner's ready to me. Yeah. Crazy, I made you a midday latte. Espresso machine. Bought that one, too. And make sure you have the little one in your arm too. And you're just, oh, by the way, I'm burping her. You go check the closet. I clean that, too. I can't wait to hear what your corrections are. clean, I was seen a clean closet.

Did you run anything on the front porch? Maybe some cobwebs? Oh, because I put up Halloween decorations. Oh, did you notice the blankets folded on the couch? Pulled tight. I wonder who did that. There's streaks on the couch? Hey, you know the pillow that I never chop?

Go check that out. Yeah. But anyways, love you, sweetie. Yeah, yeah. New set of sheets on the bed. Yeah. I see the face you're making now with the guilt building up. Yeah, maybe you should think about that before you tell me about these fucking

streaks on the floor. Hey, that little drawer that's underneath... Bleak that out. There's a kid show. Bleak that out for it out. Yeah, this kid show. Hey, you know that drawer that's underneath my clothes that hang and sometimes you move my clothes that are hanging and I hide my laundry that I didn't hang right there? Go check that show. I knew you was going to talk about the streaks on the floor because I'm thinking of myself, then she's going to walk into the mud room and talk about how my shoes are all over the place.

Why don't you go check the mud room and see that my shoes are put up nice and neat. You want to see anything else about the floor? Hey, how about, hey, go check out the toilet seat and see if there's any pubs or yellow marks on it. Get back to me. Oh, God. We love, we do love our wives. We love our wives. We love our fiancés.

And our fiancés. Because my man here, Brock, he's got a fiancee. We love her. We love her. Speaking of, we have Gabriella Sestra 213. She wrote in, the reference to ladybugs had me bawling. I lost my brother to suicide in May of 2024. Since his passing, Ladybugs have made their presence known in unique times.

where I know it's my brother Justin giving us a wink from heaven. Love you guys in this podcast. I look forward to listening every Wednesday. And I love what you're doing. Keep it up. Hashtag Milk Team 6. Thank you very. What's her name?

Gabriela. Gabriela. Thank you for, thank you for shooting in that comment. I know last week when I read I saw a couple of comments too, fired up, not like fired up, but like appreciating the Logan email that came from like the rude connection and everything else.

and or Nelly. Yes. And that email, I took the card. I took it with me home and I let my wife read it as well because I felt like it was that like impactful, like just reading that and seeing that and just taking a step back and thinking about the universe in general and how that was giving closure to Logan and the family.

Yes. On writing that in. So, Gabriella, thank you for, thank you for sharing your comment as well. I wanted to give a shout out. Let me pull. I know I texted it to you, but you look for that. We'll just confirm it.

is from Texas. And I believe, I could be wrong, I believe your friend DM the show too. Oh, did he? That's my boy, Logan, or something. There was something like that that I'm digging for now. That's another lore of like people recognizing other people from Collins, from right-ins, stuff like that.

There's really cool. But from Texas. Okay, cool, cool. Then that makes all this sense of the world. Yeah, dude, JT's the man, by the way, while Will's still looking for this. He does a bunch of like music video shoots and stuff in Nashville. I've been trying to find some kind of shoot

where we need like extra hands to get JT involved. He's... I love how he came up to me randomly. He's like, hey, I know Sherman really well. Call him a bitch for me and tell what's up. I was like four weeks into the job. And Will comes in. He goes, hey, Sherman, some guy at Walgreens called you a bitch.

And I was like, what the world? Make sure to bleep one or two of those out, Chef. Yeah, yeah. Just the place. But what Sherman was referring to, everybody knows how massive of the Nebraska guy that I am. So a lot of my algorithm is around like Nebraska stuff. But there was something that came across my timeline that I just wanted to say that for the dads, the brand,

Sherman, myself, chef, Derek, like the community, Papa Team 6, that we are rallied behind this head coach from Elkhorn North. His 11-month-old passed away. I was going, I was battling through some things throughout, you know, I say like childhood, but throughout, up to that 11 months. He was a twin. And this head coach, Sam Stanley, he lost his son Grant

just weeks before his first birthday, which is, you know, again, fighting back tears, but it can not imagine going through something like that, being a head coach of a football team. Yeah. Still doing your absolute best

to compartmentalize with a group of like young men high schoolers. It's like, I'm sure the high school football team, like they're rallied around them, but you're mostly like coaches and parents might understand what you're going through. I can only imagine how difficult that was. They went out and beat the rival for, I believe,

the first time in program history, but they won it, and I'm reading this article talking about highly emotional of a game it was, seeing the team and coaching staff and everybody kind of rally around him and his family. So just want that football team and Coach Stanley to know that for the dads, we're thinking about you, Papa Team 6, we're thinking about you,

we're rallied around you as well. digital arm, digital bear hug, everything, because, man, the heart goes out to you and mom and just that situation because that is tough. And they go out and coach a football game. I was just about to say, that's the most heroic part of it is the great line from Remember the Titans, attitude reflects leadership.

That's a huge part of leading a team is the attitude that you bring in to that high school every single day into the locker room and practice. and maintaining that kind of attitude and being able to lead young men during loss like that, dang. Yeah, yeah. Dang.

Yeah, heart goes out to him, man. I know one day, like, clearly the ripple effect with the family and everything else, that'll happen, but the effect and impact he will have on that team and those kids who grow up and go on to chase careers, whatever they do, they'll always be able to look at this moment from their old head ball coach in high school and remember a time of resiliency whether or not you wanted to practice that resiliency,

resiliency, whether you even wanted to get out of bed because I'm sure at times you just, you don't want to do anything. Maybe football you can assume was just the escaping factor of getting his head out of the grief that was currently going on with him. That'll have an effect, that'll have an impact on those, on those young men because I'm thinking like they don't even understand the weight of it right now until they go on to have kids one day

and think back on that moment and realize like damn coach was going through something that I couldn't even have a perspective from. Yeah, dude. But heart goes out to that team, heart goes out to that family, and yeah, I just wanted to take a moment

because I saw that come across my timeline. So a couple of people tagged me in it too just because again, it's around Nebraska and they know the pod for the dads. and so just wanted to share that. No, I'm glad. I'm glad that you did. I'm glad that you shared that.

I am coming off of an emotional high from last week of having my parents in town. And I think I talked with you briefly on this.

Is this like a crack of cold one? Yeah, this would be my crack a cold one.

Okay. But I would say, like, right before we move into our other segments, I do, and this one hurts me because he's a rival. Shout out Shane Beamer. Shout out. So for. That's right. Oh, rival.

I'm trying to think when Tennessee played South Carolina, but you're just, you're shouting out, Coach Beamer. Yeah. You're acknowledging. Oh, they were in the east. They were, we played him every year. until this year. The Cox arrival of Tennessee, because you guys were in the same division.

But J.P. Hovey works here at Boston, is in Columbia right now as we're filming this for South Carolina, Alabama. And he met up with Shane Beamer last night. They took a photo with the Four of the Dad's Hat. I'll put the photo up on Twitter. I hurt to say. Shout out Shane Beamer. You put the photo up in the episode, too.

Oh, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. We'll put it up here. So shout out Coach Beamer. Dude, I love Coach Beamer. I love Coach Beamer. I love Coach Beamer. And hey, huge shout out to J.P.

Because I was walking out when he was getting in the Uber to go to the airport. Uber's pulling up. He's like grabbing a bunch of stuff. And he's like, Shroom, do you have a for the dad's how I really want to give one to Coach Beamer? Like, that was totally J.P's idea. And you see Coach Beamer just tweeting too, thinking JP. Oh, did you see that tweet? Yeah, dude.

Yeah, bro. Coach Beamer, I love Coach Beamer. They were texting. I believe, and don't, sorry, you know how I am with the banana cream, the heavy cream, but I believe that JP and Coach Beamer are on texting terms. Yes, they are. But don't quote me. Yeah.

Just don't, they have a good relationship. They have a good relationship. I believe that he was saying he was texting Coach Beamer. I believe a player texted JP. I don't know if it was Kilgore or Harbor. One of them had texted saying he wanted to meet JP and that the team was like together to get over there. And I do believe he exchanged.

messages. If it's DMs or text, I can't verify he exchanged messages. So you are correct. I know he exchanged like they follow each other. I know they exchanged messages on X. Okay, yeah, we can do another public apology at the beginning of the next episode. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to our first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with the name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm

originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little

Notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHeart Podcast presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne. This is my best friend, Janet.

We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drink. Sidebar.

Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? They had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Do you want a white claw or something here? Just take it. What are y'all doing? Microphones? Are you making a rap album?

So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard can it be with the Adamani Arriva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her,

so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How high can it be? I'm getting naked at 50 with the new guy. That one's kind of hard. Well, that's lighting.

They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter, and dive into it unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of my Cultura podcast network available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I got a text the other day too from Logan at Showboat saying that Anthony Rizzo listens to the pod. Yeah, did you all hear that? You fucking kidding me? I forgot to, Cubs, 2016, Cubs legend.

Anthony Rizzo, if you're listening to this, grew up a Cubs fan my whole life. Thank you. I'm kidding. I'm no, I'm not joking. I'm not joking. Oh my God. Tell them.

We got to get Rizzo on the pod. Tell him what up again. One more time. What up? That is so fucking awesome. I grew up Coz fame my whole life. It's the only team outside of Tennessee that I ever loved because my grandfather, a lot of my family's from Illinois. Grandfather was a Cubs fan.

Hey, that's honestly very cool to see that reaction in real time. I know. Because we got, we so glad I can tell you all that I'm sorry I didn't. Just dropped it like a nugget of information. What? But anyone, like for anyone who is grew up, Cubs fan. fan. Like Anthony Rizzo is like he's a hero

to like anyone who grew up because it was like being a Cubs fan for a long time is a very miserable experience. That's more, that message is more for people who maybe aren't Cubs fans. This is the weight of why I feel the way I guess. Because Cubs fans, they know. They feel that excitement.

Yeah. But we got the text. World Series champion, gold glove winner, Silver Slugger Anthony Rizzo says he loves for the dads. And it juice me up because we got Bussing, but we were playing when Bustin kicked off. So it's like there's a level of status that you'll have when you're first getting exposed, like as far as NFL guys and people in that world.

But to know like me and you are doing For the Dads, and this is a very much a niche podcast. Very niche. Very niche. And it's like, yo, Anthony Rizzo coming across For The Dads and just being like, I enjoy, like I love listening to For the Dads, whether or not he said that I'm taking it that he said I love For the Dads. Yeah.

But it fired me up. It fired me up. I just know that he's listening to this right now going, guys, stop. Yeah, stop. Talk about how Sherman's wife hates him. I like that. Yeah, get that.

Talk about mounting your wife. Subscribe, subscribe, subscribe. Yeah. But you know, you know, Rizzo. You know, Rizzo is before that, you're in that pepper rally thing. Can I get home and get on this? He's listening to the, what the fuck? When did I say I was hoarding?

What have I ever said that? Oh, man. But yes, thank you, Anthony Rizzo. Yeah, that is really cool. And Shane Beamer. Yeah, we got a few now. It's Beamer, Rizzo, and then also Coach Drink, Mizzou, head coach. Oh, that is right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big game. Well, we'll know how it turned out next week. They're playing. They played this past weekend, College Game Day, Missouri Vanderbilt. Yeah. But get into your highs of the weekend. Can't wait to hear about your family did coming.

in town. You had the whole family here when we were done with the podcast last week. I had the whole family. How did we can go? Talk to us about your crack of cold when highs. It went really well. The whole family was in. I do not get to see my brother often. It's really kind of like once a year. And so last week was awesome getting to see my brother. But more importantly, getting to see my mom, my dad and my brother all at the same time. It's just funny when you get older, having all the people in the same room together just seems less and less and less. And so having them here for the four days

that they were here was incredible. They're obsessed with y'all. They are obsessed with Derek and Chef, by the way. I want to give a huge shout out to them for just whatever y'all were talking about with my family, whatever was said. They adore them. I mean, they were, my mom talked about you two for hours.

Likewise, they were very kind. It was awesome to get to get them. talk to Sherman's family. Super sweet bunch, like exactly what you'd hope for whenever you know, you're meeting someone that you work with or friends family. It's always like, oh, well, Sue happens and they were, you know, exceeded expectations. I don't know, Derek. The only thing I'll say the two stories that came up is your dad, like, was coming up.

And I went for a Mr. Young. And he goes, Sherman. And I was like, that's why he's a junior. Like, got it. Like Sherman. So instantly your dad, like, all bail of being a dad is gone. Like your dad's the coolest. And then shout out your brother for wearing Nike Monarchs because I felt it.

He did. They were the cleanest pair of Nike Monarchs I ever did see. And I was like, that's for the dads if I've ever seen it. He did. He was rocking brand new monarchs. I did notice that. We got to get us a pair. Like I have a dirty stained pair, which I know plays.

Yeah. But we got to get some fresh monarchs going on again. Yeah, we got to get that. And the, uh, what is it the 5, 5,6s is the newbies? A new balance? Yeah, yeah. Is it the, like the original? we're talking about the dad.

Oh, yeah. We're talking like... Not these like, yeah, you're probably talking 5.5.6. I got 5.50, but this ain't the dad. That's not the dad collection. Yeah, then 5.5.6s. You mowed the lawn and some 5.5 sexes. You mean bids.

Yeah. But yes, my brother... Was that my brother's first time meeting you? I think so. I believe so. I was kind of handling it like I'd seen him again. Yes. But I think that was my first time meeting him. Yes. I think so too.

But he was elated. And it got brought up because we talked about in last week's episode, the track days and the shot put. And my brother, he fixates, he ruminates on things. He brought up four or five times just going, Shirm, I don't think Will knows how athletic you really were. I just don't know if he knows. And it's fine, it's fine.

But I just don't think he really understands how fast you really. were. I don't think I don't think I do. I don't think I get it. Hey, I couldn't prove it to you. I'm not in the, I'm not in the state that I could prove it to you. But I just thought that that was so funny that my brother was like, I got to prove to Wilcompton that he's like, is there tape. Yeah, there's probably some tape out there. We got to get some tape. We'll get some tape. We'll get some tape. But that was his one takeaway is that he is sorry that he came to my defense so strongly in that conversation. Oh, yeah, I didn't think anything of it. I loved it.

And my mom sweeps in with the ultimate segue. And I love chef, but I feel bad for his volunteers. Yeah. And just chipped it. Sorry to bring that up. Sorry to bring that. I did not mean that in a bad way. Your mom is such a sweetheart, bro.

It hurt people, hurt people. Your mom's such a sweetheart, too. And I'm in a couple of combos with her. And I'm feeling like she's wanting to talk, like not talk ball with me, but kind of show that she can talk some ball. And she's like talking about bam and everything. I'm just kind of grinning and smiling about it. And no one's like she wants to let me know that she knows what's going on,

that she knows ball. I will, this is the last thing I say about it because it was a funny moment. But we watched the Alabama Tennessee game together. And after the pick six, she was shouting. We had to tell her to be quiet because Scarlett was sleeping because she was screaming at the top of her lungs.

And she goes, Sorry, chef. Exactly like that. So you have. I'm just saying you have all the right in the world that if the tides turn and y'all beat bama, you can take a shot at Miss Amy. I won't. That's what you get to do when you win, just like last year.

That's what he's saying. When I was doing a cigar on the field, I was like, that's why you love the game. Yeah. It's because when you win, you get to be on top of the world when you lose. Everything doesn't matter. And like life sucks. Well, and that's why I'm saying, when you do win, you have a free pass, you can take a shot at Miss Amy. Miss Amy is too sweet.

I can't. You got to know. You got to get her number and shoot her attacks. Hey, it's part of the game. Can't hear what you're saying now. Can I, Amy? Hey, love working with your son, though. I have a good one.

I have a good one. But yeah, the weekend was great. It was just a reminder. It is for any parents out there that you are in a town starting a family that is far separate away from like your core family or maybe your cop. your aunts, etc. Make sure to prioritize that time with your family because, golly, I needed that.

Like, I wouldn't even call it a reset, but just like a refreshing of just having family around and just like, oh, there's something so great about it, dude. Yeah. It was really, really good. And just a reminder, too, that those times are precious because you just don't know how many you're going to have. Yes, dude.

When y'all were talking about that, Was that on the bus when you were talking about the mathematical equation of how many more times? Yeah, there's like a graph out there. I know the five types of wealth by Sahil Bloom. Yes. He's got the graphs in there of how much you see your kids, like, you know, when they're born and when they're in high school and how it starts to taper off in college and when they live on their own and start a family. Yeah. And it's just, it's crazy to visually see it. Yes.

And so I love that you feel that way because I feel like those are the moments of perspective. which is you just enjoy it that much more because you just truly don't know how many of those times you're going to have. Yeah. Anything else from the weekend you want to hit on? No, that was really it. The only other thing is we had to sit at the dinner table

and listen to my mom pitch like 40 different grandma names. And we finally, we landed on Sunny. That's spelled with an I-E. Don't do it with the Y. Okay. Sunny. With an I-E. S-O-N-N-I-E.

No, Will. S-U-N-N-I-E because if you spell it wrong she's not going to be happy Okay, all right Sorry, Ms. Amy. Yeah, seriously. It was a big,

I mean, we talked about it for like 40 minutes at dinner. I was like, all right, with an I-E. One of the names that didn't like. Can we just do grandma? There was Queenie, a buck, all things that like have nothing to do with my mother.

Like no nickname that has ever cozy and I'm just sitting there Buck Buck Cooney and I'm sitting there I'm going

Mom when have we ever called you these things Like mom you're not even in the realm of grandmother name like you're just trying to rename yourself

Yeah we're naming a new dog at this point And so I put that to the PT Sixers out there How did y'all come up With your grandma names And grandpa names Because I don't even know

if Sonny's going to be it But I just... Mine, like, mine, very old fashion, it was grandma and grandpa, and then on my mom's side, because my dad's side grandparents, my dad's side parents,

they were grandma and grandpa because they lived in the proximity of St. Francis County. Yeah, yeah. My mom's parents who lived Colorado one point in Kansas City, but they were in another state, they were known as

Grandma Jerry and Grandpa Charlie. Okay. So it was just, that's what I knew growing up. So when Charles was coming at me with like, what are we going to name, what do you,

wanted to call your dad. I'm just like, Grandpa. And she's like, you don't want like, Paul, Paul. Like, I've heard people do that, but I've just more like, I'm just like a grandma and grandpa guy. She's like, well, they got to have something different from my parents. Like, you just don't like Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa Alex and Grandma Louisa. But it's more the Filipino ties. It's the Filipino version of Grandma and Grandpa, which is Lola and Opa. Love it. I'm like, okay, I can get on board with that.

I love that. But I don't, I don't have a dog in the fight when it comes to helping your mom figure out a name because to me it's like she's truly trying to rename herself yes and i just she wants me to call her sunny i'll call her sonny i'll leave that's what i did i leaned into it the whole weekend i said sunny here's scarlet scarlet look at your sunny yeah it's your sunny say good morning um so yeah that's what she wants that's what she'll get just tell your mom like hey mom i want you start call me thor like i'm changing my name for you i'm thor yeah i'm thor yeah i'm thor to you If anything, I should be sunny because my nickname was Sunshine when I was a little kid. So maybe I should be sunny.

Yeah. Kind of taking my name. But Buck, cozy, mom, what are we doing? Queenie. Queenie. There was a whole list. I need to have her. That would be actually a really funny graphic.

She has a notes app list of all of her grandma names since she wanted to go by. Gotcha. I'll get that first. I would love to see it. Yeah, yeah. I get that. The name that my dad's mom selected was what my brother called her. And so we had Graham and grew up on my mom's side.

My dad's mom is called Munga because that was just what my dumb-ass baby brother uttered out of his mouth when he saw her. So forever she is Munga. I kind of mess with that. She writes it with an L at the end like Mungal. I don't, it's Munga. And I told Miss Amy, I love you, by the way, mom. I'm not mad with you. I'm doing this because it's funny.

I told her this is, Sunny's a placeholder. Because whatever Scarlet calls you, that's going to be your name. I want to go the manga route of she just, you know, whatever she says. Diba. Yeah, you Diba now. Yeah, you Diba now. Now I'm thinking about it. How common is it that grandparents take a different?

Because I had one side of my family was Grandma, Grandpa, and then the other was Grandpa and Gigi. Right, people have a lot of different names like Meymaw, Paul. Yeah, now I'm thinking about it. I wonder if it's like depending on where you live. Everyone drop what you call your grandparents. Yes, that would be. That's a great call. let's get a little.

There's got to be a PT-6er out there that's like laughing and pointing at the screen about how grandma wanted to be called something out, like something like along those lines. Oh, yeah. Like my mom told me to call her, I don't know. Oh, dude, I had Julie, my grandmother, Juju, Charlie Chacha. George was Dadoche because my brother couldn't pronounce it. And Diane was Honey Cookie because everyone called her Honey Cookie. but my brother would always get a cookie at her house.

And so he would always say, honey cookie, because he wanted a cookie. And then it just turned into honey cookie. That's awesome. There we go. That's all I had to say about that. I'm ready to move on. If we feel good. My crack a cold one, so I have a solid crack of cold one.

And thinking about it too, because I didn't talk about it a whole lot last week, but I had that lunch date with Rue when I came home on Thursday. Oh, yeah. So my crack a cold one is going to be one-on-one time with your kids. I had a time where I came back last Thursday I had the afternoon, took Roodle lunch, we went to Bear Bones Butcher here in Nashville, no free shout-outs to Bear Bones Butcher.

Love that spot. It's a great spot. And ice cream over at Jennings. This week of Charles takes Rue to London. And I'll get to the quote topic lesson, the text that I ended up sending my wife last night under, you know, I had some vitamins in my system. It was just kind of in my field. Oh, I forgot about that.

But I was, I'm thinking of my stuff. like why I'm just thinking to myself like why it's all so important to have the one-on-one time with your kids. Yeah. Because again, life is just so busy. You end up losing sight of some of these things. Not like before it's too late, but a lot of times you just think back on moments where you should have been a little bit more intentional to have those moments.

Yeah. Because I'm listening to a video you're showing me. It just made me so sad with Rue and her old voice talking about the trash can, recycling and cardboard and high-fiving her. And so I'm thinking about why all this one-on-one time is so important because I was so fired up for Charo and Rue to go to London. Yeah. To go international, see the world, see some of these things involving like Peter Pan and

some of the hot spots in London, the landmarks, the parks, the food, all of that stuff. Yeah. And if like thinking about why it's all important is when you're having that one on one time with your kid, because a lot of times when you have that second one, the first one, not feel abandoned or anything else, but they just, they got the anxiety of that attention that they're probably going to lose from mama and dad at, which then makes them act out and do all these other things and having that solo time to just have conversations with your little one or just spend quality time without mom or without the other parent or without your siblings to know that

you are just focused on them. I'm looking up things on why it's all important. It protects attachment and their sense of security and feeling this, when they're feeling displeasing, placed or they are losing that attention when the new one comes along. It supports that emotional adjustment. Yeah. Because again, a lot of moving parts are happening when a second kid comes involved or a third kid. It just gets that much, it gets that time gets that much smaller. And it helps them with that emotional adjustment of you're having that focus one-on-one time to where now when you come home and you're around the other siblings or they spend a lot of good time with dad to where they almost feel part of whatever solution that might be involved in whenever you get

home versus that jealousy or acting out and you're kind of wondering why they're acting out. And then also encourages that healthier siblings relationship. Roo has just been a very good big sister and I hope it continues to go that way. And I think a lot of it will have to do is Charles and I always have in these moments every so often where we're having that one-on-one time with Rue. And then when Scotty becomes a beige and if we have a third one or when Scottie gets that age to know, big sister does have a lot of first, we celebrate a lot of those. and it seems a little different for Scotty because she's a second one coming through the first.

Yeah. The enthusiasm, they might notice the loss of enthusiasm or comparing it or judging it. So whenever you're having these one-on-one times, it encourages that healthy relationship because they have dad for a day or they have one of us for a week, Charles traveling to London went through. They come back and they're so ready to pour back into the home because they feel so refreshed and reset that they spent time with us. Uh-huh.

jealousy. Why it's also important for marriage is the couple satisfaction. Charles and I did that staycation a couple weeks ago. And just the way it's, it like lowers your stress and helps with the co-parenting because you feel like you had this isolated moment together without kids, being young again, feel like you're dating your wife versus you're rooming with your wife. Then you come home and you just feel rejuvenated to pour into the home to where if mom or dad has to go do a certain thing, you're more prone to say, hey, I'll handle this. Because you've had, you protect. You're protect yourselves and having those one-off moments where you're having date night a couple times a month or once a week or a coffee once a week or a staycation.

It proves go parenting and builds your consistency and emotional availability for the kids. Like you'll know as you get as you as Scarlett gets older and you probably have had these moments already. But when you have a date night or whatever set aside for you and Jill and then you come home, you almost feel like you're that much more consistent because you don't have this thing weighing on your shoulder of knowing like, man, my wife and I haven't been putting in time for each other. We're kind of noticing it. We're kind of feeling it, whether we're on our phone, whether we're watching a show and just

going to bed, to where you now feel that consistency a little bit more. And you now feel that like emotional availability that you feel like you can give more to the kids because you've had this, you've had these moments with your wife. So again, my crack a cold one. That's a great note, by the way. It's just thinking on those one-on-one time with your kids, also the one-on-one time with your wife and just how much we need to be cherishing those and being intentional with those and what kind of dividends it pays when you come back to the house.

You could not be preaching more to the choir on this. That's one of my favorite lessons, crack-a-cold ones you've ever done, because that is what Jill and I have been facing the most right now with Scarlett. And who are Jill and Sherman as parents? now, but also like we're married and we're friends. And we want to spend time with each other. And Sherman needs to do a way better job of prioritizing time with Jill as well. Of setting date nights.

And we've talked about this, dude. This is something that I do such a poor job of, of planning those evenings with Jill. And something we want to get into. We're looking for our first babysitter. and our first date night is going to be we're going to go see a movie. We're going to keep it quick. Just go see a movie. Come right back home. Even then it comes with the challenges when you,

the first time you get a babysitter. It's like you're both kind of on edge. Wife a little bit more, but you're both on edge. You both kind of feel bad. You're like, should we be doing this? And, man, I can't tell you how, I feel like how important it's been for me and Charles. like when we do certain things together

and get our time together. Like we went to last Sunday we did a date night to where I took her to the Dermott Kennedy concert that was here in Nashville at the Ryman and that was a great time. And just like you feel you just feel like you're operating so much more so

as a team than just your managers at the house trying to coexist. Yeah, dude. And make it all happen and feeling drained. And we can all think about it. It all comes out and certain it rears its ugly head at certain times. And when you actually sit and think about it,

you know it's just because we both haven't been pouring into us the way we need to. So that way we have a full cup when we come home. This thought crossed my mind of, and that's why my family being in town was so incredible too. Of like we went on a morning walk or like a hike, really. And my brother and my mom pushing Scarlett. And I'm sitting there holding Jill's hand

and we're not holding anything or pushing anything. And I literally could not remember the last time I was walking with Jill and just holding her hand. And we didn't have Scarlet in one of our arms. Attached to it somewhere. Yes. And I was like, oh, what a great moment. And I just brought her in and put her arm or put my arm around her and was walking with her. And I was like, oh, we got to do way more of this.

And I know that's such a small moment, but that kind of illustrates the idea of like, we are so desperate for it, dude. I got to do a better job of planning that stuff. have to. It's tough for the boys, man, the planning stuff. Again, it's an uncomfortable. It's a new world. It's a new world, Derek.

Not to take us off this subject, but Derek had a great, he illustrated it so perfectly of what men were built for. Would you mind running PT6 through that? I thought it was very well said. So this came off the heels of when Jill said, can he turn the phone around? And she was getting after, this is what you're talking about.

Yes, yes. And she was just saying, like, you know, these aren't hard things. to remember it's two beers not a hot dog and she was doing it in a very lovely caring fashion and i said i said jill we as men our brains are built to protect the family from willed a beast and walruses and lions and tigers and bears and criminals and bad things and we like the docile golden retriever have been dumbed down due to the world around us where we don't need to worry about woolly mammoths anymore And so I said, Joe, it's not that he's not paying attention to you.

His brain is firing to protect you from the world. It's just that the world's a little different these days. We're not cavemen making flames. I was like, he's not ignoring you. He's protecting you. So if he misses the little details, Jill, what's the end of the world? Because guess what? You didn't get stampeded by a woolly mammoth today.

Yeah. He looks at me and goes, hey, that's pretty fucking good. I said, where's that been? Like the golden retrievers that we are. It's really good. That's what I said. We're trying our best. We're just licking shit.

We're figuring it out. And truly, I'm sitting here going, okay, electricity's paid, water's paid, trash went out. This was cleaned up. This is, her car has gas in it, blah, blah, blah. And yeah, I am like, okay, I didn't set a resi for a restaurant. I didn't do, da, da, da, da, I need to get that into my rotation. It's not in my rotation yet.

I know, and it's hard, bro. Oh. Thank you. Very well said. Very well said. Derek. Very well said. Should we get to the hot? Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, name? Huge news.

We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call. it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers

was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, Hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard, well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try.

Pretty good pace for hotline. That is pretty good pace. right before we dive into hotline, very quick. Shout out to Fandul. Our quick, what are the odds segment? What are the chances of your child upon birth going to Harvard or an Ivy League school? Would you like to take a guess percentage-wise of the chance of one of your little girls going to Harvard or Ivy League school? Let's go point zero.

0.0.327. Okay. Wait to have some. 0.00. Way to have what? I said, way to have some faith. 0.00327. You have the real stat.

I have the real stat. I'm going to get y'all's guesses too, but it's 0.00327. 0.00327. Okay. 3 zeros? 3 zeros. 3.0. Uh, chef. Zero.

I ain't sitting my kid there. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm totally fine. Time out. Time out. I'm fucking with the, I'm fucking with the question. I'm sorry.

That's, that's on me. This is what's, guess what the stat is. Not your kid, shall. Ain't going to horror. Ain't no going to go to Yale.

Go. Oh. You're going to go to community college. It's like your baby. You're going to go Knoxville. You're going to wear the orange. You can go in Nailon Stadium every Saturday and have the time of your life. Just like your dad did.

Don't do five years like your dad did either. I'll go point zero zero one. I'll go four zeros. Oh, zero zero zero one. I'm going to put like getting hit by lightning. It's got to be worse. Your chances to get struck by lighting got to be higher than going to Harvard because they always

use that stat with like the NFL. You have a better chance to get struck by lightning than playing in the NFL. And I got to think it's even harder. Maybe, right? No, there's more kids that go to like those schools each have like what a body of like 5,000 people. How many people are in the NFL? Like 2000? 2000 something.

Yeah, it's got to be. It's got to be more. I'm thinking less. Yeah. 4,700, I believe, is the student body. Of undergrad. Of undergrad. 4,700.

A new flock of 4,700 of the coming every year? Yes. Like a class size? Yeah. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. 50.

50. They either do it. They don't. 50. Is that your actual? My actual guess is they either go to Harvard or they don't. Okay, so you're going for 50%. 50%.

You either do or you don't. He may have won. Derek, he may have won. And I'll need a PT sicko to like do the math because y'all went too far on the decimals. It's 0.043%. So I think 50% may actually, that's only... No, you're saying that's percentage.

0.43%. What are the odds? 0.043. Yeah, but we will. 100s low. Yeah, you went hundreds low. But you're trying to move it twice right now to say... No, I'm moving his 50%.

I'm moving the decimal on his 50% trying to guess. Because you, how many zeros? No, bro, he's at 50%. We're at 0. We have a little bit of a heartbeat in zero and yours is still a little bit of heartbeat of 0. But you're still going down from 100th to 1,000th,

which is to a millionth, which doesn't seem like a lot, but that it's like, That's a lot. But we're in the, we're in the, we're in the, we're in the, we're in the, we're in the world between zero and zero and one percent. He's at 50. But if you think about it, if you go from point zero one to point zero zero, you're going a hundred percent lower.

You're saying, I'm saying, we're in the world, we're in the world of zero to minus one percent. Right. Zero to one. Like, zero. That's what I'm saying. We're at least something is something. The answer he just said is not even. like it doesn't even get to 1%.

He's at 50. Give me the two numbers please. I'm doing it right now. I'm like, what is closer to 0.043? Is it 50 or is it 0.00 I'm right about this. 372. Calculating.

It's not 0.50. 50%. Okay. It would be the answer is 0.00372 is closer to 0.043. So, Will wins. Yeah. I almost had you.

No, you didn't. It is quite close. It is quite close. So what are the actual odds? 0.04? Yeah. 0.043 is your odds at birth of attending an Ivy League. Which is kind of crazy. But that was fun.

I thought I would mix it up with what are the odds of guy everyone involved. Yeah, yeah. That to me, you almost had me like really questioning myself. I'm like, no. It's three on one right here. I'm like, dude. Doing the math, the collective look across all of us going. The argument was there and I was

tripping myself up because I was thinking, did you have four zeros? I was thinking that you. Chef, chef's still. Chef a second there. Is he second? We check that. Yes, bro. We don't got to check that. Me and chef are between zero and one percent.

he's at 50%. This isn't even close. 0.001 is closer to 0.042. I think we can all collectively say that our chances of going to Harvard is... Ours are long gone. Ours is long gone. It's gone. Do we want to get into call-ins?

Yeah, let's get to the hotline. 601, the dads. You want to be featured on the show? Call 601. dads leave a voicemail if you're international 601 the dads at gmail.com but yeah let's get to the hotline let's get to a couple emails and did you see the thing on like hey hold the speaker closer to the mic there's a comment one that we can do that in post okay well yeah we'll start turning it up a bit of yeah we are also brought to you by form energy form energy delivers

Name our daughter. Willie one shelf and Fat Stafford. This is Seamus Colin from Chandler, Arizona. Shot-off, James. Looking for advice on names. My wife and I are expecting our first girl at the end of November. And I know as one girl dad to another, you guys have some fantastic names. Scarlett, Roo, Scotty, they're unique, they're cute, sophisticated. I need some advice. on how to pick names with my wife. She has some favorites, and they're not mine, but we've got to a top three. And I want to give her ultimate control, but I'm interested to see what you guys did

with naming your three daughters. Also, your opinion on our top three. Yes, need that. We have Serafina, Violet, Ocean. Give me your opinion. Appreciate it. I mean, violet through and through.

I kind of mess with ocean. You mess with ocean? I mess with ocean because Roo's name is cerulean. Cirulian water. Yeah. Ocean. This is my only thing that I'm going to throw out there. Like if this is my buddy running through these names with me,

he's like Sherman, what's your opinion? Ocean's going to get you, no pun intended, in some deep water. Deep water. In elementary and middle school. Yeah. She will get picked off. That's kind of why I like it. Resilience.

Yeah, resilience. Build some grit. Resilience, by the way, is my number one value when we talk about the values. Resilience? Yes, it's number one. That makes all the sense in the world. But I do like violet. What was the other one?

Seraphina. Seraphina. I like violet. I like colors. I like seraphina for the, like, you have a ton of options there. Sarah, Fifi. we would throw I had a or I had a

You see what you're doing right now? Go ahead. You're just making this that much harder for them because they've had these conversations with each other. We're talking about pros and cons for all three names and my man's looking for is there one that you guys

win at from those three? Violet. Okay. I think we can get on board with Violet. Violet's a beautiful name. I do like a thought of Fifi though. Do you see what you're doing? I don't want to do it.

Do you see what you're doing? Hey, violet is a beautiful name. It's old school. Excuse me. It's a color, which is really fun. We've already done with scarlet. Like when she's wearing some scarlet stuff, like that's kind of cute.

I like violet. It sounds like chef likes violet. Derek. Violet. I like violet. I'm down to go with violet. I just want to give him a name. I want to give him one name.

You know what I mean? Yeah. And if you're showing mom this for the first time, uh, hello, welcome. We think all the options are great, but we selected Violet, but we think all the options you gave. They're all good.

Mom, if you want to go a different direction, I support you. Totally. Totally support you. But yeah, name her violent. But if dad, hey dad,

if say mom wants Violet the most, but you don't really care for Violet, just think like, hey, sweetheart, what if somebody calls her Big V? Take Violet off the list. But that's just for the survival kid. That's just for the tool bag if you need it.

But if you love Violet, forget I said that. Is that like a kind of a nasty dad hack that if there's a name that you really don't want, you just come up with the nastiest thing. Yeah. It kind of is a dad hack. Like that is an instant.

Like if you get a good enough one, she would be like, oh, fuck. Like, we can't do that. Where I was fortunate is, Charles came up with Cerulean. and I liked it out of the jump. And then the second time with Scotty, Charles wanted boy names.

So there are a lot of cool boy names that I think go flip both ways that I just liked a lot of the boy names for girls. Yeah. One that I'm on right now is Ricky from Chad Powers. Oh, that's a great name. Ricky from Chad. Have you watched Chad Powers?

I haven't started it yet. It's a good show. Chad Powers is sick. It's a good show. I've heard so much good about it. I'm on the diplomat right now on Netflix. Oh, yeah. I saw that that season came out.

Season three? I started from season one. I'm on season three now after three days. It's incredible. Okay, Jill and I got to start that tonight because he pitched me on the show. I need a, I need a trip. I'm down. I'm down.

We need a good show. Yeah. But so I feel like, just to finish that up, I feel like I kind of got lucky. And so then I just got to kind of lean what the life wanted to do when we settled on Scotty. Because we got Scotty from the suits. Yeah. the female character in that show where she was named Scotty. And hey.

I wanted Billy, but, you know, the friend of the friend, they named their kid Billy. Billy May's here. And now she gets to hear that for the rest of her life. So who won? Yeah. The Comptons. Yeah. And it sounds like you already won.

You got a top three. You won, dude. She's in the driver's seat. She gave you a top three and said, what's your opinion? Give her your opinion. Let her make the decision. We're all winning. All winning.

Yeah. We're all going to win from this. Yes. I hope that helped. I hope that helped. Put us in a tough spot. Tough spot. Fee, Big Vee.

Ocean. Yeah, ocean. Yeah. You're going to get some deep water. Oh, well, in one shelf, an old fat staffer. This is Chris down here in South Georgia. So I wanted to come on here and say that new father, I can't believe that my little girls have not be two weeks old on Sunday.

If it wasn't for y'all, I wouldn't know anything, what I'm doing. It's been the best. It's been the worst. And I can't be more happy. I mean, I can't. Like, if I'm happier, I might freaking explode. Because it's so fucking happy I am.

I just want to let y'all know that everything y'all do, I appreciate it. And every single day, I look forward to hearing something from y'all. And it doesn't matter. I know you don't think that you're, you know, you're an expert. by any means, but you're the example and you set the tone and I'm very appreciative that you set the tone. I love you guys. I can't wait to hear more.

And go dogs. That's all I got to say. Love you boys. Go dogs. Tiny kisses, big hugs. Let's go. What's his name? Was it Chris?

Chris from Georgia. Yeah, Chris. Chris down and Jordan. Shout out Chris. Shout out Chris. I'm so happy for Chris that I could spontaneously. Combust. Yeah.

Truly. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time. You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a perimenopausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard can it be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden I'd had hanginess happening on my own.

I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that Ness was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard, you know? Well, that's lighting.

They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter, and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of my Cultura podcast network available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHart Podcasts presents Soccer moms. So I'm Leanne. This is my best friend Janet. And we have been joined at the hips since high school.

Absolutely. Now a redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip, just a little bit bigger hips, wider. This is a podcast we're recording. as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey with all the snacks and drink sidebar why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer they had a bogo well then you got it do you want a white claw or something here just take it oh what are y'all doing microphones are you making a rap album oh come on you boot could you imagine I would buy it cuts through the defense like a hot knife through sponge cake that sounds delicious oh you're lucky I'm not a drug addict you're lucky I'm not an

alcoholic. You're lucky I'm not a killer. I love this team and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Oh. Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah. And you felt, you felt his happiness too. Like, it's such a true, genuine feeling, but also feels like a force feeling because you're so happy because there's also so much suck that comes with parenthood those first two weeks especially getting on the sticks with you guys like pub g late at night and i i'm like how am i awake right now yeah how am i functioning right now how

am i carrying a conversation but also you can hear it in your voice like how much fun you're having but how you're also like in the pits of hell at the same moment yeah because when they're young like that too. It's they're more like, uh, the moments are more so few and far in between because you're in such a grind. Yeah. Like I could off myself. Yeah. There's a great, uh, video that y'all were referring to. The dad keeps on crossing the camera and each time he's like, time of my life. Having a blast. And like the things in the background are just getting worse and worse and worse. And he's getting happier. And he yeah, it does feel like that. Dude, it's just the full embracing of the suck.

Yes. It's all it is. Yes. Chris is embodying. I could not feel happier or I would explode. I would die if I got happier. Next call. Hey, by the way, Georgia Bulldog fans too.

Like I was hearing a story the other week. I was at this party and a gentleman came up to me. We were kind of just talking shop. He was just talking about how much he hated Georgia Bulldog fans. He's like, you go into their stadium and they beat you. And you're outside the stadium after and people are just barking in your face. Yeah, they fucking suck. First hand.

There's nothing better than walking in. I went to the TCU LSU game with my brother at Cowboys Stadium. And just having literally thousands of people lined up as TCU fans are walking into the stadium, I'm just going, Tiger bite, Tiger bite, talker bite, I loved it.

I was like, God, SEC fans are different. What's the magic getting barked at? That same, yeah, the same thing

where you're just walking into the stadium with little Scotty and little Rue. You're King's Stagie. Hey, hey, and look,

I'll be dead serious here. They will bark at your five-year-old kid that's walking there. Grown men, 40-year-old men will sit down there and say the

nastiest shit. They pose as nice people. They're not. They're not good people at all. I'm sure. We love you, Chris. Chris, I'm, of course, all the best wishes to you. Awesome dude. But when it comes to being a fan, no, they're genuinely awful. They don't get talked enough about how much they fucking sucked either. Because I think that, you know, they had a Rick and stuff, but for a long time, they weren't that good. But they are like up there with like Bama, Florida. Those are the teams I have issues with. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, sorry.

Barked at. And just keep that in mind when you're calling in, guys. If you're going to be saying those teams, at least give Chef a shout out, at least. Say something nice. Yeah. Turn the tide on the way he thinks about your team. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would have loved to have heard Chris just start barking at the end of that voicemail.

Chris better call in next week ago. I have a dad question. This one's actually for Chevro. Do not call the phone. and bark, guys. Beat 6, I'm begging you. Do not call the phone and say, hey, this is for chef and bark, please. And so, we're

coming home from the date. Everything's going fine. We walk in and all the... Go, no! Oh, my God. Please don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't wait chef's time. Going through voicemails and he just has

to hear bark after bark. Hey, is this chef? I'm assuming a chef. we've had a really tough time lately we're going through a whole lot i'll break it down for you guys just like 10 minutes sob story voice mail him at the end none of that's true fucking blah blah blah rah rah that just makes me laugh super hard so sorry chef it's okay like i said part of the game it's sort of those listening on audio they're just hearing bark after bark i do want to clarify have very quick i'm sure there's some fans in

dealing from the hills that are not also very nice. So I'm not going to act like we're saints. In fact, I know we're not saints. I laughed in a kid's face after we beat him when we beat Florida two years ago. So I mean, yeah, we've all been there. All been there. You all cussed out a kid after ball game. I told the kids saying it wasn't real one time.

You know, I've done it. Last one. Here we go. Fellows, what's going on? This is John from Chicago. And I got the weirdest dad hack for you. you guys. So my wife and I we have a 10-month-old boy. He does not know how to sleep through the night. So we're going through the trenches every night, about two to three hours and wakes up, got to get him back down. It's been a struggle. My wife, though, she talked to one of her friends at work who said we should try this method when he gets his bath every night. And it's, I'm calling it cabbage soup. Sounds weird, and it is kind of weird. What we've been doing? is we've been chopping up cabbage, boiling it, and then using that boiled cabbage soup water,

and putting it in his bath. And now, ever since we started it this week, the boy's sleeping through the night. And we are starting to feel like ourselves again. Don't know why it works, but it's working. So if there's any other dads out there and your kids are struggling to sleep and they're in that, you know, toddler phase, infant face still. Go with the cabbage suit, man. Chop up some cabbage, boil it down,

toss it in that tub, and hopefully you get you a kid that's sleeping through the night. It's been great. Anyways, love the podcast. Take care, boys. What the fuck did I just listen to? I'll tell you what you just listened to. I'll illustrate a picture. We're looking at a Jenga tower right now

that's on one block at the bottom. and that thing's fucking doing this, don't touch it. Well done. Well done. That's all I'm going to say. Oh, that's all you got. That's all I got. Yeah.

The picture I'm thinking of my head is you're in hell. Yeah. You start going crazy inside. And there ain't nothing off limits that we're going to do and try to get this boy down. Well, in those first four weeks was Scarlett where it was every two hours. If you had called me and told me like, Truman, if you stand naked out in your front yard for everyone to see and you sing this song verbatim,

Scarlet's going to go through the night. I promise you, I would have done it. I would have been desperate enough to do it. Yeah. I mean, who would have thought? Cabbage soup? I hear. Bold cabbage.

Boiled cabbage. I hear socks. I got to look that up. Maybe it's a thing. Have you ever. Googled onion socks? I've heard of onion socks. Onion socks, dude. And it works.

And there's like actual benefit. I went to a deep tunnel on onion socks. What is it? You cut up onions, yellow onions. You put them in the bottom of your kid's socks. You put them on at night when they're running a fever. And there's like one other thing that it can help treat. And the antioxidants and the whatever helps sweat out the fever.

It's so weird, dude. It's like a legitimate thing that I don't think doctors are sitting there saying, hey, put onions in the socks. But there are like health benefits to it. It's weird. So boiling cabbage to get your kid to go to bed. Like I said, the Jenga Tower is almost about the fall

and just don't touch it. That sounds great. I'm seeing it. They must have been in deep on Reddit because there's no scientific evidence that supports it. But this is just a floating dad hat. that I'm glad he shared, but I'm reading on Reddit. We gave Baby Boy a lettuce bath last night.

And they're like, she's basically, our baby's always been an amazing sleeper. And suddenly a few weeks ago, this game to an abrupt end. He fights every single nap, even when his eyes are completely glossed over, and his eyelids are heavy. He went from waking up once overnight to now every two to three hours. He went from sleeping in his crib beside our bed, perfectly fine to wailing the moment we put him in. No cuddles, no sleeping. He also decided he hates his binking now, not to mention every single time he wakes up. It's in a rage.

He'll be five months soon, so we figured four months sleep progression. Who knows if it's real or not, but clearly something changed for him. Yeah. Cue the lettuce bath. I read that giving a baby a Remain lettuce bath could help with sleep. I know it's a bit of a folksy home remedy, but after two weeks of struggling, I figured why not give it a try? This is where this family's at.

This is 10 months. Yeah. As I laid him against my shoulder to burp him. Oh, wait, about 30 minutes after the bath, we gave him his last night feed. As I laid him against my shoulder to burp him, he immediately closed his eyes and went to sleep. What? A few minutes later, I put him in his crib. Fingers crossed him fuss a little bit, but gently rocked him back and forth twice.

Back out instantly. He slept in his crib like a champ for five hours. I'm in disbelief. He still woke up for a night feed, but immediately went back to sleep. He finally woke up for the day. He woke up stretching and laughing. was in shock. Anyways, not sure if the random lettuce bath or it was just random,

a better night, but I'm doing it again. So again, chop a head of lettuce. Chop ahead of cabbage. Chop ahead of cabbage. Boiling some water and put in that bath. Put in that bath, dude. I'm telling you, do it. Whatever works.

Why not? Why not? I do have a quick bath time story, by the way. I would love to hear it. We just had the cutest moment with Scarlett. we take her dippy off. She's sitting there and mom's arms. She's about to go into bath time.

She loves bath time. And she just gets this cute smile going. And I'm just, I want to squeeze her. I want to squeeze her. And hey, this might be weird. You want a love on her so hard. It's like to the point of suffocation. But you just, yeah, love them so much.

That is the perfect description of it. And for the non-dad listeners out there, or the non-parent listeners, you might not understand this next part. I might get some flack for this. Sorry. Sue me. I see her little butt and I'm just like,

that little booty. What is going on? She's just this little thing. And I go in and I go, oh, I could almost pinch that butt to make Jill laugh. And when I go in, like it was on cue, dude, shotgun of poop.

Shotgun of poop. On you? on my hand all over Jill's arm. But Will, I'm talking my face, like shotgun blast, you pass my face. We were centimeters away from like, I never want to touch Scarlet again. Don't even look at me. That's when that pisses you off and you want them to know some way somehow that, hey, I'm mad at you. Oh, yeah.

And five seconds later, of course, we have her in the bath and she's like, because she's laughing now yeah it's all funny games now you're sitting on daddy you're sitting on mama that funny yeah you want to see what's funny

get the cup of water and you just dump it on their head oh can you breathe again where's the laugh going where the smile go you're not laughing anymore is you go oh no

but dude we're talking Just start waterboarding them. It is funny in bat time, though, I'll accidentally, if y'all never participate in a bad time, the smallest little drop of water could accidentally brush over their eyelash. And it's like somebody punched them in the bay. I mean, they like, I look. And you're trying to get it down to a science on just the line of how far can I get low enough to where he like gets off their head? Yes. Oh, it's so true.

It's like a game. It is. There's like on the crown of her head. I know exactly where the water needs to hit to where it will go off the back. It'll be right here, but it gets the exact spot that you need. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah.

You boys will learn about that. We learn. You do away, man. Being a dad's so cool, man. Y'all enjoy your video games. And eating pizza and watching football. Yeah. Comments or emails, sorry?

Emails, yeah. Do any rip one? Yeah. Mm-mm-mm-mm. Um, Let me see here. I got Nick Giles, Tyler Knox, and Jose Valera. Let's go.

I will do, I'll do Nick Giles first. All right, here we go. This one's on Instagram. This week I found myself very fortunate and blessed. I had to work. I had a work accident and drove my work truck off a mountainside, about 30 feet down. Jesus. Flip one time for sure, but I was able to walk out on my own accord.

All I could think about was my wife and my sons, someone was looking out for your boy above. Listening to the boys 48 hours after a near-death experience brings things into perspective. Focus on your little circle, be present, and remember us dads can get through anything. PT, sicko out. Bro, by the way, he tagged me in a picture of the crash. And I replied back and was like, oh my God, dude. I'm like the fact that someone walked away from this is crazy.

I'll send that to y'all it was I mean show it on the episode but I'll show you after the episode dude the fact he's a light there's a tree branch quite literally like

almost going through the windshield no shit not a tree branch a tree trunk and you can see the cliff face like in the back it's like glad you're here with us buddy yeah

glad that'll get you into perspective yeah because I know like like do you think about it as a dad like man what if something happened to me or what if something happened to mom and you're without you know you're without the other parent more families growing up without dude i think about that type of stuff all the time um i what what is it called when you perform the act of riding shockwave uh what is that like you not concede is it conceived do what no like when you have sex like

coitus coitus uh but what is that called like i was conceived conceived conceived okay a week after a, or maybe a couple days after a drunk driving accident that my dad was in. He was hit head on by a drunk driver. And the EMTs were like, where's the driver of this vehicle? And my dad's sitting there. All he had was like maybe a broken nose or something. He's like, me. They're like, no, buddy, you're concussed.

Nobody survived from this. He's like, no, I was the driver in that vehicle. It's crazy. I wouldn't be here. Yeah, man. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news.

What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.

But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down?

Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad,

Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Will Farrell's Big Money Players and IHeart Podcast presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne. This is my best friend Janet. Hey. And we have been joined at the hips since high school. Now a redacted amount of years later. We're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips, wider. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey with all the snacks and drinks. Sidebar. Why did you get

hard seltzer instead of beer? Well, they had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Do you want a white collar or something here? Just take it. What are y'all doing? Microphones? Are you making a Rap album? Oh, I would. Come on. Could you believe? I would buy it. Cuts through the defense like a hot knife through sponge cake.

That sounds delicious. Oh, you're lucky. I'm not a drug addict. You're lucky I'm not an alcoholic. You're lucky I'm not a killer. I love this team and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Oh. Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast, Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows.

Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the line, lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court,

licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to point game. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. All fat staff. Nick, glad you're all right, bro. Joe Saba sends us an email. Joe says, what's up, boys?

Joe here from Chicago. Longtime bus and listener found out I was going to be a dad a little before this pod started and been taped. And since episode one, baby boy is due in February. I got the original PT6 shirt hanging in my closet, ready for the due date, like I'm getting ready for an all-star game. I can't wait until this little dude is here. I finally got the wife to start tuning in.

It instantly became a weekly sit-down to watch you guys on YouTube. I knew we finally made it when she hit me with a good one evening. We truly feel you guys have given tips, lessons that we will 100% remember and every parent can learn from. We can't wait to keep up with you boys in your guys' journeys. what you guys are doing is absolutely amazing. Thank you for opening up about your parenthood. You guys got us laughing and also crying weekly. Been wanting to write you guys forever.

Probably share a lot of the same, you know, scares that are coming up. This one's for a box on Instagram. I'm not a part of Papa Team 6 yet, but I listen every weekend and putting it all of it in my memory bank. I'm about 30 days out from getting engaged.

And it's striking me that fatherhood is closer than ever for me. I wanted to thank you, by the way, congratulations. Congrats. On getting 30 days out from getting engaged. So he's not engaged yet. Looking back on it, what we might want to do is restart. and run that as an anonymous because it didn't hit me, I read it and it didn't hit me till right now that like,

if we watch, we watch, we watch, we may have fucked up. Yeah. I should have wrote a big old anonymous on that. I don't know why I didn't even hold the mic because we're cutting this shit. Should I hold a big old anonymous on me.

All right. I didn't even, he didn't even say, don't mention. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sitting here to get on 30 days out from getting engaged.

And I'm thinking, buddy, we, this is now, if you're his girl, maybe she's, maybe she tunes in the four the day. That's who knows.

Is he wanting us to do something? No, I'm just, I'm just saying, like he's saying he's not engaged yet. He hasn't proposed. Wife, he doesn't know this is coming. Yeah. And he's letting us know he's 30 days out. I'm just saying what if said, what if the, what if anybody who's connected to the I'm going to keep saying this first and last thing, listen to this.

It's like, hey, you got an engagement coming your way here in about 25 days. Does he have like a message for us? Probably, yeah, it's a whole, it's a whole thing. But I'm just, I was catching myself as I'm reading it. like, hang on a second. That's why I'm like, if we're part of the secret, what do we do? We could also just hold that one off. I'll bring it back, like the episode before, what would be 30 days from comment.

Just silence when I'm saying his name. Just silence when I'm saying his name. So we get, you know, my boy should, you know, you can't be putting your name on. You got to let us know, hey, you've got to say anonymous to start this, start this email or start this comment. We're going to keep this person anonymous. They didn't ask us to keep them anonymous. We're helping him out. We're helping him out.

Okay. here we go. I wanted to thank you all for making this podcast. I've been a Bustin fan since damn near the beginning. I grew up with an abusive and then absent father and left me with really no idea how a father should act. And obviously you pick up knowledge from others as you move through life. However, this show has opened up my eyes to the intricacies of fatherhood and kind of what it looks like. As someone who didn't have a father in the home, that is huge for me. Thank you all again for making these every week. I just wanted to share from the perspective of someone younger. I am 22 trying to wrap my head around what

it even matters to be a father. Y'all are awesome. Keep up through great work and what y'all do. Thank you, bro. It fires me up that you're 22. Did you get? Blit that out. Hey, buddy.

Hey, buddy. Thank you, bro. Hey, buddy. And just a 20 year and two year old turned into a for the dad's podcast. That's cool. That's cool, that's cool. This one's also from, this one, not also. This one is from Jose Lera on Instagram.

Thank you all for acknowledging my repost. I'm about to be a new to the dad community come February. Shout out, Jose. Every time I have a concern I come to y'all's page and reassure myself that I'm more than capable of being an amazing dad.

Please keep doing what y'all are doing because you have little guys like us looking up to y'all boys much love from Dallas, Texas. A, big D. Big D. Come on. And that was Jose?

That was Jose. Common theme there. Common theme. All day, everybody's scared when they go into fatherhood. Yeah, dude. Everyone's scared for the next the opportunity that comes

and the responsibility that comes with fatherhood. just like anybody taking on a massive new position, a new step in their career, a new step in life, fatherhood being won, a new title, new big responsibilities that you're sure you're not ready for

that you're scared about. No one's prepared. No one's ready. Can you run me through really quick just what I was like when I brought that up to you at that coffee when you asked me about, are me and Jill ready to have kids? How did I answer that question?

You were terrified. Yeah. You were like, I don't think like I'll be good enough. Like I don't think I'm ready to be a dad. And it scares you. The thought of having kids scares you. And because Shrem was also telling me,

you gotta stop posting Rue because it's giving Jill massive baby fever. You were doing me zero favors. Thank you, Roo. And I could tell how nervous you were. Yeah. But now you know it's like, dude, I was like the same way. Now you know looking back on it's like,

dude, you're just, you're not prepared. You just got to dive in. and it breaks everything that comes with it. And do your best to like, whatever it is. Read, listen to stuff, study, whether it's our show clips, whatever it is. Like, you just put that much work in the fatherhood that you've done with the most important thing in your life. Yes. And it'll kind of guide you.

It is the ultimate challenge that will continually be the ultimate gift. Yeah. Always. Because it sucks, but it is. It does. That is why you feel so highly about it and it makes you so happy in some of these moments. and parts of like those scenes or moments of perspective, like they're so high because you experience such suck.

Yeah. Like anything great, anything, anything that is great in your life or feels great now, it's 99% of the time because you're looking back on all the trial and tribulations you had of getting to that moment, and now you feel so high and so free on it. Yeah. You know there's work that you've got to continue to do, but it's no different than fatherhood other than, you experience them that much farther, that range gets that much wider because it's such a high

and a love that you've never experienced in your life. But with that feeling comes like ultimate like new lows and challenging thoughts and failures and things that you that suck about it. And those might happen in a five minute span. Yeah. From each other of me coming home exhausted from work. I want to have the worst attitude when I walk in the door. What do I find? Dude, I hope you mentioned the streaks on the. floor right now. Oh yeah. What do I find? Scarlett is screaming her head off because it's the witching hour and I'm sitting there and I got the worst attitude in the entire world. Mom's been texting you on the way home. Hey, when you're getting back? When you're getting back? When you're

getting back. Are you picking up dinner? Forgot to pick up dinner. Yeah. Walk in the house. Screaming's going on happening. Yes. And then you finally get the, you finally get Scarlet down. You're in bed. And what's the, what's the next thing I want to do? I want to get on the NANA app, watch my kids sleep and tell my wife, I just want to squeeze her. I love her so much. What? What? How did that happen in 10 minutes?

We'll sit there and it's like you'll see him on the monitor. It's like, man, aren't they the best? You're like they are. And then you kind of pause for a moment and then you're like, you know, unless they're doing X, Y, and Z. You like think of the few moments that they've had recently that's just trapped your ass. Yeah. But when they're asleep and they just look. They look amazing.

Quite literally shit all over us. And five minutes later, we're in bed looking on our little Nanick Cam going, She's the cutest thing in the world. Isn't she the best? Well, when she doesn't shit on my hands. Yeah, when she ain't doing that. She got her daddy's guts, though. She'd be shit.

This one comes from B. Haynes, 53. What up, fellas, huge fan of the show. I've been watching this pot all summer long in preparation for our baby girl coming this Futober. Hello. B. Haynes. Last Thursday night, we welcomed our firstborn daughter, Lily, to the world. I am so beyond fired up to get to work being the best dad I possibly can.

It's now six days with the little one. And so far I've changed about 100 diapers, scrubbed every bottle in pump part countless times, and lost many hours of sleep taking care of my girls. Good. Good. Good job, dad. You're crushing. But every damn second is worth it because I get to be a dad.

Today, the wife you broke down in tears telling me how amazing and supportive I've been, not just through the first week, but the entire pregnancy. Let's fucking go. Let's fucking go. So I just wanted to give a huge thank you to Sherman Will and the rest of the PT6 community for all the tips, tears, and dad hacks that got me this huge W. We're just getting started. Love you guys, Flex emoji.

Take out the trash. Dude, hey, that's so sick, dude. That's, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a really big win for B. Haynes, dude. you know how many dads are getting that message? I mean, that's dads that are in the PT6 community. Yeah, I mean, you know what I mean? Yes.

It's like seeing, it's like seeing a teammate just flourish. Yeah. Because the process has helped them out. Hey, coach just pulled me into the office. I'm starting next week. Yeah, let's fucking go. Yeah, you are. That gets me fired up.

Matt Savio from Instagram fellas. Matt Savio here out of St. Louis, Missouri. Shout out the big mo. Yep. A huge fan of the pod, although I am not a dad yet. I am a proud uncle to Sophia, Siana, Lainey, Camille, and George. Also got another nephew coming in March of 26. Anyway, got a potential idea for a segment on the pod if y'all like it.

Here's what I'm thinking. Each month, a dad or mom sends in a video as their application for dad or mom of the month. They basically give a valedictorian type speech or reason why they deserve the honor of the graduating class that month. Kind of thinking it would be for first time parents, but I'll let y'all decide the details, obviously. There are a lot of ways you could go with it. Maybe each valedictorian receives a patch or some special merch.

Maybe hosts a Zoom happy hour or something cool for the 12 honorees in a year or something similar to Will. I am an idea guy. You guys fill in the blanks. Thank you for the entertainment, GBR. GBR. GBR. I love the idea. I like the idea too.

almost like a framework from that too is the, the application has to come from the spouse. Oh, that, that's mandatory. Yeah. That's mandatory. I think, yeah, yeah, yeah. You mess with that one. That should be absolutely mandatory.

Like, you shouldn't be writing about yourself. You would be disqualified if you wrote in about your, not to say B. Haynes saying like, hey, my wife said, you know, I'm doing a great job. That's different. 100%. He's not trying to win a. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Yeah, you can't, you can't be, it's got to be a video. They got to submit a video. We please get it through the email, too, because I don't want like a million, a video on accident. We won't do it yet. Oh, no, no, no, I don't know. He's an idea guy. We got to take the idea into the think, think, think, think, think.

I was told there was no bad ideas. Yeah, yeah, that was an idea. Okay, that was an idea. We're in a brainstorm. We're in a brainstorm. We're not doing it yet. Not doing it yet. Sweetheart, there's this thing they do it for the dads.

It's called Dad of the Month. I love to win it. I know you said some things last week. You might make it a video. And for the love of the... I think the written one, you'll get more. Written one, you'll get more, but who's to say, you know,

a wife, can I get your password with your email really quick? I'm the best fucking daughters ever existed. Not to say Pt-Sixers... Yeah, yeah. Not to say Pt-Sixers would do it, but it would also be kind of fun to see video submissions. Yeah. We'll think on it.

I do like that idea. Thank you for that idea. Yeah. Thank you for that idea. You can do something fun there. Can I read? This is my last one. Okay.

It seems like a long one. Go ahead. I know. It is. How long we've been going, chef? Go ahead. Erica Giles' Instagram writes in, hello, gentlemen.

Milk Team 6 here. I just wanted to share a quick story about my husband, Nick Giles. He's a huge fan of your podcast. He's been a part of Papa Team 6 from the start. He listens every week and he has gotten me hooked to. He's purchased tons of your merch and even bought a shirt he planned to wear after I gave birth to our second son. Though he accidentally ordered the wrong size, so now I've claimed it. He's such a hard worker, long hours every day, make sure our boys and I never go without.

And your podcast is one of the things he looks forward to the most each week. This week was actually, this week he was actually in an accident. And even while sitting in a hospital bed in the ER, he was making sure to keep you all updated. Oh, this is the truck guy That's crazy Oh, this is Nick Yeah, this is Nick That's crazy

Sorry sitting at a hospital in the ER He was making sure to keep you all updated The very next day he was already trying To get back to work while proudly Reping his new Halloween shirt from you guys Oh, that is awesome He's the biggest fan and even better dad And after this week's

After this week he's had I think he deserves a little shout out from his proud wife I've interacted with Nick several times. He is not only a PT sicko. He is a tier one. Nick is a good dude. We got to shoot him something. Yeah, we'll shoot him something.

I'm glad he's okay too. Like even hearing his wife write about him and everything else. He's even a better dad. Like, you can only imagine how scared they both were together. Dude. I don't want to go to that place, but we were talking about that. earlier today of like if anything happened to Jill I'm just like I don't know what I would do

I don't know what I would do yeah I'm just glad he's he's safe yeah I'm glad he's good glad he's good and Nick you have very funny tweets by the way he's a good follow for anybody that's in the tier one PT6 community he's active on there you'll have to remind me which profile he is yeah I'll tag he's in our replies a lot he has funny replies yeah he's a sicker Would you like to take us home, brother?

Do you have a quote topic lesson? I do. It was your homework assignment. Okay, yeah, the values. Yes. Yes, the values. What is a value? And again, I know we're, we doubling up here, we over two?

218. We did that. What's a value that you would love? We'll hit it on next week. Let's do next week. Do values next week? We'll go over values next week. Because again, it's like we're over two hours.

Yes, and we could get more submission. Yeah, so we have the homework here from last week was what is a value you hope to instill in your child for the rest of time? Yeah. As they grow up, what is what is like the most important value? And I know that's hard because there's many values you want to instill in them. Yeah. But I have a few here that we were going to run. And I would like it to kind of have its own moment because we're going to have, you know, we're at 218.

We're at 218. Can I very quickly just throw it out to the community? we were not upset with the amount of submissions at all. Just a further challenge of submit those values that you would want to pass along to your child in the comments, in our DMs, because we would love to go over those submissions when we go over this next week.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We appreciate y'all's input and we would love more. Yes, yes. All I pretty much have, dude, it's not even like a quote topic or lesson. Sherm the other day showed me a video that he made because I failed to take out the trash

like the last week I failed to take out the trash the last couple of times and he made this funny video you guys will already see it it'll be on social socials by now but he made a funny video where in part of that video I'm sitting there with Rue

and Rue's going through like the trash can recycling and cardboard and it kind of just made me super sad just hearing her little voice because I tell Shrem like dude she's so young there and I'm like, oh, I mean, she's only three years old. But she's just so little and hearing her voice and like telling me high five and high

fiving. It just had me thinking and kind of sulk. And I listened to the fray all the way of home. I got home. I took some vitamins. And then at that point, I'm just in my own head thinking about life and everything else. And I shot Charo a message, my good night text, because she was in London. And I basically sent her a text because I was.

was just, I was just, your boy was in his feels. And I was just like, getting in bed, love, hope you feel better when you wake up the morning. She said she wasn't feeling very well before she went to bed. But I said, I also hope you're enjoying every moment with Rue because it's really badass what you're doing. And right now in her life, there's nothing else she'd rather be doing than spending time with us. So enjoy every second. And I feel like I got to that point because Roo's all about us right now. Yeah. And our kids, they're going to be about you when they're they're young. But even seeing that clip of the video to where she's fired up to, she's telling me about recycling and cardboard, this is the cardboard trash can. This is the recycling one. And high five,

and then what did she say? Now you go, Dadda. Or you're turned, Dad. She said, Dadda say it? Yeah, Dadda say it. It's like, that's a moment that now those excitement feelings are different. Like, she's fired up to show me stuff she draws at school or coloring or it's not like how simple, Hey, Dad, that's a trash can. How fired up are you? It's like, she wants to show you more impressive stuff. You have to impress her with different things. And they're like, hey, you know what a trash can is.

And high five, like, I have to hold out my hand to get some high fives at times because they're just growing up, dude. And think about us as adults. Like I think now, like, I was so down the rabbit hole of my feels with the vitamins in my system. Then I'm even thinking about my dad and my parents. Because the age that we're at now, like, what are the interesting things that our parents try and want to connect with us on. It's so hard for them because we are now grown-ass adults.

Yeah. And when you're in high school, the time where every dad, it's like whenever they turn 13, bro, I'm telling you, when they turn 13, it's just a different, they're different animals, the hormones and everything else. But the moments to, like, connect with your kids and be having interests or like challenging yourself to be interested in what they're interested in, especially when they're older. Yeah. It's so fucking hard.

I imagine it's so damn hard because I'm thinking back to what I was when I was growing. up. And then even like, even as a young man, the interest for my old man would just be like sports, right? If I was going to impress my dad, it was going to be like sports. Or if I felt like he was taking interest to me, it'd be more so with sports than anything else. Mom would love school and all that, but you knew dad, like it wasn't, it felt like the connectivity was through sports. But when they are this young, they are obsessed with everything. And all they want is your time. Yeah. All they want is your time. Like, Rue, I know is having the greatest time in the world because She's in London.

She feels like a big girl because she's traveling with mama. She's sleeping in bed with mom. They're getting room service. They're going to the parks. They're doing all of these things that just fires Roo up. And she's probably so happy spending that time with her mom. She was probably so pumped to be getting ice cream and lunch with her dad when we had our little daddy daughter and everything else because they have your attention.

And all that fires them up right now is your attention. Yeah. And so it's just like all I say is just cherish every damn moment. Because some of those interests and some of that, the way that they develop is it's not always going to be mom and dad are the coolest people in the world and like wanting to help take care of Scotty. They're going to get to an age at some point to where you're studying and battling trying to figure out how to connect with them through their interests

because it's not as simple as, you're showing me what a trash can of recycling bin and a cardboard bin looks like anymore. And you're so fired up that it's like I sit there and I look back. I was like, I'm so happy that I'm giving her a high five, but I wish I'd go back to that moment to be even more excited for because I'm never getting that moment back again. So you can imagine when I'm sending that text because I'm like sending her this long text for good night. Yeah. And I'm just like, dude, it's so badass what you're doing.

I hope you're enjoying it because Rue is having the greatest time of her life right now. Yeah. So anybody with young kids or you're going to have young kids just you are their world right now and just embrace it so much and cherish it because it's not going to be forever. that's the whatever that's the that's the end that's the ending very well very well said and all the all the photos coming from london dude i've just been smiling with all of us she is giving big girl energy yeah she is looking like just a little girl with like her outfits and when you brought up like the video and i'm watching the video i'm not even ruse parent and i'm like oh ruse tiny in this oh my gosh. And the only

example of that that I have is the nanit that we use our little nanny cam has kind of like a yearbook kind of memories that will play for you. And oh dude, I've watched this little video of me

waking up Scarlett and she's still in her tiny sleep sack in her head. It's smaller than my hand and I'm just like, my God, you were so little. You were so little. It broke my heart. I mean, up having to hear of up. So the...

This is the greatest job in the world. Yeah, it's a good one. Our story now is being a father. Yeah. And it's amazing. And I just hope nobody takes it for granted. Yeah.

If you feel like you do, man, there's change the mentality. You get to do it literally right now. Yeah. I'm just thinking about Scotty smiling right now. I just want to get home to her and kiss her so much and smother her with love. Come here. Let Daddy give his paws on you.

No, can't get away. That's it. That's it for me. Yeah, all right. Perfect. Take out the trash. This was for the dads. P.T. Sickos.

We love you. We appreciate you. Go be great, man. Hey, go be great. Shout out to Dustin McLaughlin. One of my really close friends just found out they're having a kid. Shout out, shout out, shout out. Papa Team 6.

This is welcome to our first Halloween children's story that I think you will all enjoy. Maybe the adults more than the kids. We kept it clean. This is a story about Hector the Bat, urgently trying to find a Halloween costume for the Halloween parade with his friends. Parents involved, we change our voices. We have a lot of fun with this story. I hope you enjoy it. If you're listening, make sure you're following.

and subscribe to our For the Dad's channel. Happy Spooktober, happy Halloween, and enjoy this Halloween bedtime story. Twas the night before Halloween, the forest creature's favorite holiday. The moon glowed bright, and the whole forest was elated with anticipation, except Hector the bat.

Hector hung upside down on his branch, clearly upset. Oh, no, I've done it again. I've waited to the last second to find the perfect Halloween costume. Why do I do this every year? Milo the mouse, scampered up cheerfully with a pumpkin bucket dressed up as his Halloween costume. A cupcake. Hector!

Hector, is that you? Hey, Milo. Hector replied. Hector, what's wrong, buddy? Oh, nothing. I just made the most huge mistake in my entire bat life and forgot to pick out a Halloween costume for the Forest Halloween Parade tomorrow. Oh, Hector, don't you worry?

We'll figure it out together. We can go on a quest to find your costume. And you know what they say. Adventure makes the best ideas. Sammy the squirrel leapt from a branch. his tail flicking dramatically. Sammy also had his costume on and was dressed up as Superman, his favorite superhero. Hello, friends.

I couldn't help but overhear that you're going on an adventure. Have you heard of the secret costume shop in the Misty Meadow? Both Hector and Milo looked blankly back at Sammy, shaking their heads no. Don't worry. I know a shortcut to get a stare. As if on cue, inbounded Benny the puppy, stumbling over his own paws with his tail wagging. Benny also had already gotten his costume

and was dressed up as John McLean, specifically from Die Hard 2. Don't forget about little old Benny the puppy. I'd love to help, and if we can't find one, we'll just make you a costume. Boom, go Big Red. The friends laughed together, and Hector felt a little better as they started following Sammy towards the shop. Sammy first led the group towards the pumpkin patch, filled with beautiful orange pumpkins and glowing with rows of orange lanterns.

Look at all these pumpkins, Hector. You could always go as a pumpkin bat. A pumpkin bat? That sounds silly. Well, it's okay if your Halloween costume is silly, Hector. Benny wagged his tail in agreement. That's right, Sammy. They can be silly or spooky, or even awesome. For example, if I had all the money in the world,

I would be wearing a movie-gray replica of William Defoe's Green Goblin suit from the 2002 cult classic the Spider-Man movie. Everyone turned slowly to Benny the puppy and stared confused. Bart! Oh, okay, well, I just don't feel like a pumpkin is the costume I want. The secret costume store will have what I'm looking for, right, Sammy? Of course!

All we have to do is cross the rickety bridge and then head through the misty meadow and we're there. Milo pulled out his binoculars and looked in the distance. Hey, guys, I see a bridge up ahead that looks extra spooky. We're on the right path. I don't know. That bridge looks like it smells like good with it, fam. What's good with it, fam? Benny snickered.

Oh, Benny. What? I didn't even say nothing. The gang kept moving. heading towards the rickety bridge. And as the group made its way towards the rickety bridge, Milo thought about who would have made the bridge, and he got an idea. Ector, why don't you go as a lumberjack bat?

That would be festive. No, thanks, Milo. I don't really think a lumberjack bat is for me. Yeah, Milo, what are you thinking? approximately 15 billion trees are cut down each year by lumberjacks, effectively removing 41 million acres of trees annually. Climate change, deforestation, not to mention the fact that Hector looks terrible in a flannel. It makes his bat hips look wider than they already are.

Matter of fact, he looked great as a corn husker. Everyone turned slowly to Benny the puppy and stared confused. Woof. Don't worry, guys. The store has everything we could want. I know we'll find a costume there for everyone. The friends headed deep down into a meadow where they discovered a large oak tree

with long, winding limbs. Sammy the squirrel pointed towards the tree, his eyes wide. That's it! That's the entrance to the store. store right there. All the friends looked up at the spooky tree together,

hopeful. There's a sign at the door. What does it say? Milo climbed on top of Hector's head to get a better look at the tree. Oh no, Hector. The store is closed.

The sign reads, Wife in Labor. Store closed till further notice. Let's go. The group all stared at the sign, defeated. Hector, I'm so sorry. In all my years of coming here, I've never seen it closed. It's not your fault, Sammy.

It just thinks that now I don't have a costume for the parade. Honestly, guys, we could probably file a complaint from misinformation with the Better Business Bureau. Although there's no legal penalty for closing without proper notice, we could most likely sue due to breach of contract or fraud and deception. Neither will hold up in court. Neither will hold up. But the likelihood of the store owner doing everything he can to avoid this, going to trial may just be enough for us to win in petty claims court.

Everyone turned slowly to Benny the puppy and stared confused. Bart. The gang turned around defeated and sad that Hector wouldn't have a costume for the parade. The next day, as Hector woke up, he realized that all of his friends would be having fun at the parade today without him. I knew I should have just been a pumpkin bat. The door to Hector's bedroom creaked open and his mother walked in and sat next to. to him on the bed. Hector, what are you doing?

I thought you would be out of bed already for the parade. You love Halloween. No, Mom, not this year. I didn't find a costume in time for the parade, so I'm not going. Mama Bat, let out a little bat laugh. You silly little Cairo Tera, I bought you a Halloween costume from the Misty Meadow store weeks ago. Did your father and I not tell you about it? It's in your closet.

Hector shot out of bed and flew to the closet with excitement. As he opened the closet, there hung, a movie-grade replica of William Defoe's green goblin suit from the 2002 cult classic Spider-Man movie. I have the best parents ever. Thank you, Mama Bat. You saved Halloween. Hector threw on his costume and flew out the window, hoping to make it down to the parade before it started. As Hector got to the Forest Town Square, he saw his friends down below all standing on the side just in time. I wish Hector was here. He loves the parade. I know, Sammy. I can't believe the store was closed. What bad luck.

He could have been a pumpkin bag. or a lumberjack bat and still come, but I totally understand those on his car chasing vibes. As Benny was finishing his sentence, Hector landed next to his friends in his new green goblin costume. Hey, guys! Hector, you made it! Yay! And just in time for the parade. Hey, what the-up?

The guys had the best Halloween ever in their costumes, watching the parade as friends. and should. Hey guys, it's us and the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what?

We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.

Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know. Tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Hey, I'm Diana Maria Riva, and on my new podcast, How Hard Can It Be?

I call on my Gen X squad from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS. Unfiltered conversations from night sweats to futas to scheduling sex. Wait, what sex? Is it just me or does every woman my age want to look at Pinterest instead of having sex sometimes? They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter. Listen to how hard can it be. Deanna Maria Riva on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano. It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast point game, the playoffs. We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season. And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments. If we didn't talk ever again, I was part of it. You just understood. That's how personal it got. Wow. Then after that game seven, Marquis keep coming to. He's like, you know I love you, dog. You know, it's all love. This was just playoffs. This was just basketball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed human.
