Bussin' With The Boys - How To Survive A Family Trip + Baby Blowout Battles | For The Dads Podcast

Episode Date: July 30, 2025

In this episode of For The Dads, Will and Sherm share a few stories and lots of laughs about wild family vacations, intense baby changing battles, and relatable dad anecdotes.  Will recaps his recent family vacation to Banff National Park—what was supposed to be a relaxing getaway turned into a grueling uphill battle on a hike he definitely underestimated. Sherm brings us into the early chaos of raising a newborn, including a wild (and slightly terrifying) moment on the changing table with his 4-week-old. The boys also break down their favorite movies to watch with their kids, swap parenting wins and losses, and try to wrap their heads around the internet's latest rabbit hole: "Gooning." It’s honest, hilarious, and filled with the kind of stories every dad (and future dad) can relate to. Tap in, fellas. Papa Team 6, we ride. —--  Timeline   0:00 - A Message From Will    1:12 - We Hit Record     9:20 - Catching Up With PT6     38:26 - Will Took A Family Vacation To Canada   52:16 - Crib Training    1:03:49 - Will’s Hike From HELL    1:21:03 - The Battle Of Sherm’s Deep   1:28:00 - Call-Ins: Top Kids Movies + What To Expect after 8 Weeks   1:47:45 - What’s Going To Be Best For Them 30 Years From Now, Not 30 Seconds   —-- For The Dads is for every guy who needs a place to talk, vent, and laugh about all the insane, hilarious, and chaotic sh** (sometimes literal) that comes with being a dad.    Hosted by Will Compton–NFL Vet, creator of Bussin' With the Boys, and proud dad of two. This show isn’t about expert advice and how fatherhood is the greatest thing on earth—it’s about embracing the love and suck of parenthood every day. From balancing work and family to battling the mental load, fears, and the moments that wreck you in the best way, we dive into it all with honesty, vulnerability, and a sense of humor. Cause at the end of the day... us dads have no idea what we're doing.   Alongside Will is his producer Sherman Young, a soon-to-be dad who’s currently enjoying his last few months of uninterrupted sleep and freedom. 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   LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify   -----   SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   Bud Light - Easy to Drink.

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. Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I was just so wanting to be out of that phase out of my skin, and I just, like, really regret not living in the present more.

You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are?

I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Papa Team Six, see Team Six.

The replies in the comment sections of our YouTube videos on social media, they have been phenomenal. We implement them into this episode and talk through some of the responses and comments that are out there. What else? We also talk about our family vacation, myself, my wife, our two little girls.

Make sure you take out your trash. Are we recording is the first question. Because what I've noticed is the little tech deal isn't back by you anymore. It's over by Chef Jack, captain of Seaman Team 6. So, Chef Jack, are you now the guy who hits the record button? I am now the guy that hits the record button. I saw someone in the comments saying this should be on Jack. It shouldn't be on the guy helping host a show.

to that guy I say you are wrong because that was Sherm, that was Sherm's like entire, like yeah, he is a co-host when we started this show, it didn't feel like it was going to be this much of a co-hosting show with each other. No. I felt like you were going to chime in, you were going to

run the stuff, you're going to help produce a lot more. We did. We've gotten very lucky with our intern, Chef Jack. But to that comment, it's like, yeah, but we understand that and we hear you that Chef Jack could have possibly been the one to hit record or ask a question, are we recording, but we don't, we take full accountability in this place. There, there is no part of me. First off, I took pictures of his new setup. Please put that in

the edit on YouTube so that they can see his setup. His setup is dialed. Diled. But I walked through that door into the production side today. I saw that there was no recorder over here. He moved it himself. He did. And I said, this wasn't a team. This wasn't a duo conversation. I lowered my head and I said, good. I said good. But honestly because, and I told him, like, I love that. And this was in the part that we didn't record last week. Chef is full time now.

Well, starting. He hasn't signed a dotted line, nor does he have the contract. Nor does he have the contract in place. He needs to be emailed. Yeah, yeah. He's been offered to be full time. He's been, yeah, he's heard that he's going to get offered full time. Round of a plus. Which is funnier because it's like we haven't even had.

Well, I guess you came up and you said thank you. And I'm like, buddy, you've crushed it all summer. And for you to take on a full project like for the dads, like take on the show. It's crazy. It is nuts. What are you? 23. Yeah, 23.

Unpaid internship coming in on the production side. We had zero thought of hiring anybody outside of like social media. And for you to come take on this show. for the dads take on this brand for the dads yeah there are some things i think we could tighten up on youtube and posting right now guys as you're watching chef jack our 23 year old intern who's been a stud a stallion dude what is the saying wise beyond his ears is kind of very wise beyond his years is kind of the sentence people say when you bring a hey what do you think about chef jack he sees he's wise beyond his years he's got that professionalism about him yes and but for you to take it on dude seriously it's

you've crushed it thank you i appreciate it it's fun like just like everyone who probably listens or watch, like it's a fun to watch you guys interact and put on the show. And I feel like I got a great seat to it. And I've enjoyed like every bit of the work. Like it's been cool. I'm just, I just graduated college and I was sitting on my couch two months ago with my buddy

drinking a beer. And I saw on Instagram that you guys were looking for interns. And I had nothing lined up. So I was like full transparency. I got denied to a bunch of places. And I was like, well, let's just see. Let's see what we're going to do. I was already going to move back in Nashville.

And so to go from that to two months later, sitting here. And it's like, it's really cool on my end. And I'm like, just pump for this whole podcast. And yes, not official yet. But, well, you know, it's going to be a good road. Shout out Chef Jack in the comments. Shout out Chef Jack in the captain of Seaman Team 6. He is the captain now of both the record button and Seaman Team 6.

Yes. And well, dude, well deserved, well earned. I won't gloat too much because he, wax poetic very well but chef is awesome and uh jared was in charge of picking our interns this summer of filtering them down to like a number that we could easily select our interns yeah and when he pulled up jack's uh resume and his video that he submitted uh he said in that moment i don't think this guy needs to be an intern i think he needs to be full time and jp and i i i after watching that.

And Mitch as well. But JP and I actually spoke about it. We're like, dude, before you even got in the building, this guy's a stud. So those places that rejected you, their loss, that's our gain. And correct me if I'm wrong too, but for the dads was more like a project that he approached asking to do. Yeah. Right? Yes.

And, dude, this whole process, the reason that I feel like we think everybody at the top is because we went into the is so blind. There was an idea that you had generated. There was a full pitch deck. There was us working with our third party production partner, or really you working with our third party production partner going, Sherman, this could be a really good show. This is where I see you, blah, blah, blah. We had no idea that it was going to get the buy-in that it got. We had no idea what it would look like with me having a baby. How much can Sherman carry on his shoulders? Having a child is a very humbling experience and i feel like i'm texting this guy multiple times saying you are the man you are crushing it i feel like i'm letting everyone down with how much i'm not doing

and the fact that an unpaid intern is editing the full episode doing social clip like showing up early staying late you're a stud dude well you're a stud quickly i'd like to throw back shirm within a week came to me and offered, as much as I'd love to say, I've had the brilliant idea of approaching. Shirm came to me and asked to watch the episode and possibly help out with some clips. Right, because Shirm was essentially going to be doing as much as possible on it. Again, us not experiencing what it would be like when you had your kid. It's like, yeah, did you miss hit and record? Could it have been Dad Brain?

I saw a few comments out there on YouTube. Of course. Thank you guys. And thank you guys, but I'm not, I will not accept that. But thank you. Thank you. I see you. Yeah, and then he watched the first one and started breaking down and making clips. And you back, hey, chef jack's been the one making the clips and posting everything on the internet.

And it's kind of like, you know, oh, that's awesome to hear. It seems like we're going to need a producer for this show. Yeah, because there would be some weeks where, and now we're just kind of going into the weeds of like the back end stuff here at Bussing. but it is a full-on operation that is really fun. And I feel like something that will be explored way more from what I'm hearing with the bus scene stuff of like this fall, is it's a full-on operation. And so the interns coming in and crushing like they did,

but especially chef. Shout out Big Cheese, Casso Grande for his help. Dude, is unreal. Just being able to, hey, I can really edit this episode because I can trust Chef to do these social clips. Yeah.

Oh, well, now I'm, you know, with baby, I'm coming up here trying not to micromanage about it. How's the, how's I had it going? Oh, man, it's good. I got it. I was on the couch with my boy drinking a beer. Sure.

Nothing lined up. You just be a dad, man. That's all you got to worry about right now. I'm like, this guy's an unpaid intern telling me this. Yeah, yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. Crazy.

I want the responsibility. Like, in a way like that, like it's been cool because I didn't know if I could I've been able to do some cool stuff before graduating but I've you know taking on like a podcast it's like you don't even know if you can do it so it's kind of a cool challenge to be like oh yeah we can and I agree will there's some stuff we can hone in on and um trying to juggle some hats but yeah it's just cool all around that's what I told you no just knowing that everything's coming from you is like you know obviously there's tons of empathy it's like I'm skiing and stuff and kind of look in it's like

it's why you want to throw resources and bring in a social media producer and bring in talent to help because the buy-in of the show has been so cool and it's like you don't want to let you don't want to let everybody down it's like we're building this community yeah and people are comment and people are you know whether it's on instagram on youtube whatever it is we're talking about the pop a team six shirts like the community buy-in has been awesome we didn't even know if this would be a weekly show when you were first pitching it right because we just didn't know how often we wanted to potentially do it. It's like committing to doing another show on top of buss and all the things we got coming down the pipe with busing with the boys. You just didn't know,

I personally didn't know how often I would want to do it or would have the bandwidth to do it, but it's been so fun. It's been fun, dude. And shout out these sickos that showed up to buy that PT6 shirt. Bro. We sold like over 500 right now, which. Yeah. Yeah. That's unreal. Dude, do we wish it was all the shirts? So it's like, it's like, We have 10,000 views in the last episode. I wish all 10,000 dads, all 10,000 Papa Seals chimed in and bought the shirt. I know it's still coming because this shirt is a shirt that just it bonds the fatherhood. Imagine yourself walking around.

Say you're on vacation or say you're just walking around on a Saturday. Maybe you're at the farmer's market. You look down over by the lettuce and tomatoes and you just see a Papa Seal rep and a Papa Team 6 shirt. And you just know that they tune into the same for the dad's podcast. that you do and you can go up and tap it on the shoulder and be like PT6 and just dab them up that's a fatherhood that is etched that only dads and only Papa Seals and Papa Team 6 members understand and that's what juices me up about it. When we're getting the text from Garrett on how many, you know, I think it was like

in the first 30 minutes over around 150 was sold. Yeah. It just, it gasped me up. And then just very, I don't remember the amount of time, but later that day, oh, by the way, we're at 488, like something like that. I was like, 488? Oh, my God. And I'm, like, I'm out enjoying vacation in Canada. A lot of great stories that are going to come from Canada on this episode.

Let's go. In week three of Scarlet. I know there's some fun, fun stories down the pipe. But being in Canada and, like, you know, you want to make video, you want to, like, do stuff to keep juicing the Papa Team 6. But I'm like, I got to be here. I got to enjoy vacation. Turn off the work brain.

But I'm juice. When I saw you made your video to promote the Papa Team 6 shirts, I'm just, I'm geeking and smiling behind my phone. I can't wait to do some of this stuff when I get back. But it's been awesome. WTB.com is where you can buy our first iteration of our Papa Team 6 shirts. And to start off, there's a comment from Alex. Alex W 1457.

It says, showed my wife the new shirt. Her response, the bear has all that gear, but where's the baby? Mom taking care of the baby while dad grills with the gear? Then he put, damn, still getting the shirt. PT6 The mom is right I'm like I'm like

I'm like I'm like I'm looking at the detail the shirt and people are like why you guys not wear up in the shirts right now we haven't got them in we haven't we haven't gotten them

in the shop yet trust me we don't have our own shirts but that's okay but I'm thinking I'm like looking at the details of the shirt because I love the shirt and then I'm like laughing about this quote because I'm like the mom is 100% right

like what is this what is this pop a seal doing in the garage just setting it up so we can get a nice photo for the gram just back I'm locked and loaded ready for my watch and it's like where's the kid which was me

I mean truly me in that raccoon video where's scarlet and I'll tell you where she is she's getting bounced by Jill and she's probably crying and Jill's going what the hell is my husband doing up there the Papa Team 6 shirt that's pregame that's getting ready to go on watch you're getting ready dude

because you were pulling some you were pulling some all-nighters yeah yeah but you want to you want to keep ripping YouTube comments absolutely I'm so sorry don't fall asleep at the wheel pop We have Brooke McKinsey 7-826. Hey guys, my name is Brooke.

I just gave birth eight days ago. My fiance and I are 25 and 26 years old. None of our friends have children yet. And essentially, she walked into the room. Husband was watching for the dads on the TV. She popped a squat next to him. She said she's equally as big of a fan as her husband. Let's go, Brooke.

Go on. Thank you. Let's go! That does, it juices me up, bro. It does juice us up, dude. Just a picture a couple sitting on the couch and watching for the dad's podcast on, I'm going to assume big screen. Yeah. Just enjoying the night.

And Mama Bear's like, yo, this shit's gas. Yeah. We got to do more for the moms. I saw a couple being like, do the collab with the wives with the wives podcast. We should be doing collabs with mom. Trust me, that stuff, these three brains, one of them operating the most in that shift, Jack, the other two brains, more just dad brain fleeting, just taking it as it comes. We will have a strategy and there will be some fun down the pipe.

The Sahil Bloom lesson of the week last week on enjoying the magic ears from his book, five types of wealth. Yeah. Having Seheel Blume, I think would be a lot of fun. Just having dad's on, moms. Yes. Just doing fun collapse. I think it'd be sick.

Especially diving into the weeds. How do you do this? Yes, dude. This is how dad's kind of bitch on the. side and talk shit behind your back a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How do the moms do it? The wives would be crazy, dude.

We would be flamed on this podcast. But we'd hold our own. I would have to sit over there with you. Because the dad's out there watching. We're representing Papa Team 6. We can't just go quiet into the night and lay down. No, we need a full kangaroo coria. Don't put the camera chef on them too much.

Keep it over here. I'll come sit next to you. We'll have them over here. And it's going to be 2V2. Yeah, it'll be 2 v2, and a lot of times it'll be like, you're 100% right, but let me just tell you what goes on in my brain when this happens. And I'm not defending myself. Sometimes I'm just not thinking about it. I can't read your mind.

But you do a great job of communicating. And I love you. You look beautiful. Yeah. Sweetheart, we love you. Here we go from Nick C96, Papa Team 6 Sled Dog again. have one girl of my own. My girl has three girls.

Just found out the gender of our baby on the way. We'll have a full roster of girls. Girl dad times five, pray for your boy. This comment right here is why dads go silent later in life. It's why you find him sitting in the corner at a holiday party. And everybody's like, oh, what's up with Joe over there? He doesn't talk a whole lot. That's because he's outmaned and outgunned the moment.

he gets into the car to go home. Because you know, Joe, if you just think and get to know him and talk to him, I'm sure he's going to love hunting. He's probably got his camera like, hey, check out this eight-pointer. I found on my farm. He does. But he stays quiet apart. Why?

Because those dads who say one wrong thing on the car ride home, honey, why'd you have to say, why did you say it like that? Dad, don't talk to you like that. Dad, oh, my God. What was his name? Thanks for telling everybody, I don't give you. blow jobs anymore. What, what the hell was that? I'm trying to have some fun. I can't just be a man. I can't just have some fun at holiday

party and joke around with the boys. And I did say blowjob. I said, smoke my pipe. That's different. That's different. They fucking say that. But that right there is how dads go silent. And that is why I'm terrified of having a third daughter. Because you just get out, you get outnumbered. And you just like, you fucking, let me just. get home, let me survive. Where's my baby boy? Yeah, let me... Yeah, where's my baby boy at?

Where's my lineage? Where's my heir to the throne? Oh, but that's what happens. I'm telling you, that's kind of my... That's my thesis on it. I've thought about this a lot. Because a lot of dads out there that are like great, great talks when you break through the barriers.

Yeah. And you wonder why they're sent with the 24-pack at the end of the dinner table or at the end of the island, kind of sitting alone, just waiting for the conversation to come to him because he knows, he says one wrong thing it's

listen boys I love having a great time around you guys but the minute I leave here the other 23 hours neutered there was a perfect example of that by the way of a girl that I went to high school with very social girl would have like bonfires at her house and friends

all come over and her dad all girls they had all girls her dad was such a fucking legend dude so quiet though you had to get him in the right spot but he's the one while the party's going on inside he's building the bonfire outside. Yeah. Are you putting gas on that?

You don't put gas on a bonfire. You put diesel because it burns slow. Anybody ever showed you this trick runs out to the woods? Grab some stick. Go get that lighter. I'm going to show you how diesel burns slow. This is what you look for when the woods a little too dry. You don't want the wood too dry.

And what are you doing right there? What is that? No, we're not using an electric lighter. We're using matches. We're going to step away. We're going to toss the match in that. Oh, hold that. thought here comes the old ball and chain.

But truly, he was such a legend, dude. And very, like, yeah, to your exact point, gang cameras, probably a CFB sicko. I didn't have too many talks with them. But all of us, we'd always talk about, like, bro, he's such a legend. Yeah. And you got to, I don't know how to say this. But you got to continue. You can't let, you can't let them take your voice away.

Yeah. You know, when you start having a conversation, say I'm Max. you a question. Then your wife starts answering for you. They talk for you. So you're just like, you know, what's the... But hey, Nick, congratulations on the girl coming. Girl dad of five. We love you, Nick. And you have a voice in our comment section. Yes, you have a voice in this comment section, Nick. I expect to see another comment from you on this episode. Your existence is futile, but we love you. This is why you got to love Papa Team 6 because we're all in this shit together. We are. It's why we have the platform. And we may have a new branch of the military

with this comment. Okay. Reporting. Sorry, this is Carlos, Carlos the one. Reporting from the gune berets. Can we represent BT6 as well? The goon berets. He's just how you're gooning, dude. You're talking like, he's not semen team. He's not. You just, jerking it? He's just he's gooning. You're just jerking off. He's just jerking. He wants to be a PT6. He wants to start

the goon berets. Jack McPherson would fucking love to be a part of the goombets. With this being a family show, can I tell you what my opinion is? Oh, please go ahead. I love it. I love it. The goon berets. Get that on a shirt,

dude. Okay, for there's probably, because we got, I would like to assume very quality parents and mature adults on here that probably have no clue what we're talking about. Yeah, and they're like, hey, where's the, you know, the parenting stuff? Yeah, gooning meaning urban dictionary.

All right, here we go. So this is the goombets. This is the goombets. Okay. Oh, bro. I can't say this. I thought gooning my... I just be jerking off.

We're all adults here. Gooning is an act wherein porn addicts masturbate and edge for hours on end, yet do not achieve orgasm, nor do they want to for weeks or months. Any orgasm a gooner or gunette does have should be ruined. Oh. Ah, yeah. The goombets. The goon berets. Family show.

Family show. They can represent PT6. Yeah, like we can be aware that the Gumbarees are a thing. Yeah. And that there's an assignment, there's a job somewhere out there where we will need the Gumbarays later on down the road. Yes, because no matter what, when the TikTok moms come after us, we're going to need an army.

That's what you call those sickos. Yeah. The special ops, the Gunger. That's what I said, Papa Shirm, hey, 50 miles south. Go talk to House Go Light the Torch. Who sent that comment? Carlos the One. Go talk to Carlos the one.

He's head of the Goon Berets. House Goon Bray's. House Goon Bray. House Goonbury. House Gooner. House Boonton. House Gooner. I'm trying to get in my Game of Thrones brain right now.

Carlos of House Gooner. Yeah, Carlos the one of House Gooner. And let him know. The leader of the Goon Berets. Small army, very niche. but when it push comes a shove and we might need to build out an army for a war, we got to be able to call

on the gung berets. Let them know that the moms of house TikTok march upon for the dads. Light the beacon. Let the, yeah, let the gung berets know winter is coming. So yeah, that was maybe TikTok moms are here.

That was probably my favorite comment that I saw like that's funny, bro. God. I think I replayed. to it on YouTube. I was like, this is fucking hilarious. What makes me laugh too is we might have people tuning in for the first time that

are like, what in the fuck did Tim put me on? What link is Tim what show is Tim trying to put me on right now? They're probably in the office right now. I thought he said they talked about dad hacks, lesson of the week. They do fun call-ins with some dad

advice. Not experts. We're not experts. Not experts. And we will get to those segments. But this is just a boy's goofing. Just, hey, we're goofing. We're having fun with Papa Team 6. We are. And if you want to be a part of Poppet Team 6, BWTB.com, go get you that shirt. First iteration.

Like and subscribe. Like and subscribe. I like to envision those shirts, too, being a collectible one day. Like, maybe we have this show for 30 years. Dude, I like that. Okay, one, I love that idea. Two, an idea that I'm just throwing out there. I kind of wanted to talk to you about this before we did it on the pod, but I feel like

it's the right time. There's a podcast that one of my friends used to listen to last podcast on the left, and they would sell these little buttons that you put on a backpack. Like, you know those sorority buttons that those people made? It's like miniature ones, and they would sell them with like little sayings from their podcasts. But a guy, and I need to find a DM who's actually a vet,

was like, yo, in the army, like in the military, or I think he was actually in the Navy. He was talking about how they have something called, morale patches where it's not like official patches but they're just morale patches that you put like on the back of your backpack or somewhere on your stuff we could make little badges with those miniature sorority buttons that would go perfect on like a diaper bag or like something like that bro the possibilities are endless we just have to execute we have to execute we have to execute and speaking of execution here's a dad hack from Cameron Blake, 9890. A dad hack. We're not even to that segment, but I want to shout out this dad hack. Teach your son how to use the fly swatter.

My two-year-old spent 30 non-tantrum minutes on a mission, deleting flies as dad cracked a couple cold ones watching sports, teaching patience, hand-eye coordination, and the killer instinct.

So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas 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.

It already is starting to happen of like, because Scarlett was so small when she came out, she was five pounds, six ounces. Yeah. And so her little hands and feet, they look huge.

That's the first thing everybody says. They're like, whoa, her hands of feet are like long and stuff. And it's like, well, yeah, because she doesn't have the, cherub chubby feet and hands yet i'm starting to see it in her hands now dude as she's growing like her she's kind of fluffing up and i'm like damn you're growing fast you're growing fast i just got to stay locked in i know my boy uh who i vacations with he's my best man in my wedding like my best friend i like to think of him first generation best friend nick maybe yeah nick oh g oh like he's one of my first friends i ever had because we went through like first communion

together and then we were in like the same pod and classrooms traveled with him at baseball but one of my first friends ever was he good friends with a buddy with the killer basement killer basement killer basement dad brain you all used to at his house uh quite a bit oh logan you're talking about oh yeah that was the crew right there oh logan yeah that for any tier one's listening yeah for tier ones a bus and they know the they know the lore of Logan. But yeah, me, Nick, Logan, John, Chuck.

Like, we had a squad, man. But anyway, he was telling me, like, he reminds himself, like, when he's, like, putting, he has Grady, who's, like, a year and a half. Like, he's putting a little one down. He might be frustrated. He's like, I just stare at his little hands, dude. And it's just, like, a reminder of them just how little

and innocent and everything that they are. Because when they're just going to sleep on you and you're just staring at their hands, their little feet, and you're just hearing the little breathing noises, drinking the milk. Try to capture it. I wish there was a bottle you could just so I'll sit there. I'll just video, Scotty.

I would with Rood, just sleeping and trying to, like, capture the little noises. And I'm like, man, I'm going to weep one day looking at these videos, just wishing they were this small again. I caught her. She's not actually smiling in this photo, but I caught her smiling. That's a good one. That's a good one.

It was pretty good. I'll send it to chef. But I caught Scarlett. And smiling, that's her like, yo, I just pushed a shit out. I was going to say, yeah, just... That milk just ran through this little body. Damn. Just shitted on him. And she did.

Well, we'll find out later. Sorry, keep going with Nick. That was it. Oh, that was it. That was it. Just enjoyed, like, you brought up the small hands and it made me think, like, Nick was telling me that. I'm like, I know, bro. It's time just flies, man.

Time flies. Can I ask a selfish question? Absolutely. Poppa Team 6. Did I come up at all with Nick about the record button? Did I let him down? No, because you know Nick loves you. I told him he texted me after the first episode and says, I love the new For the Dad's podcast.

Sure, it might be my favorite podcaster. Well, you know, he might be your second, right? He's like, oh, buddy, I didn't even make his top five. But he loves you. Big fan of yours. And he told me to cut you some slack. Did he really? Yeah, and I thought I did the best job I could in the moment.

You did? I thought you handled it really well. job I could. I fully agree. Fully agree. As we discussed on Bussing with the boys. And I did not do a good job of shouting out this show on Bussing with the boys. That is on me. Yeah. It's a, you know,

shameless shout-out, shameless plug. It's a bigger audience. Yeah, bigger audience. We gotta grow. We got to grow. We need Papa Team 6 members. We need the moms, dads, everybody that enjoys this show in this podcast. You need to dish them out in your group chats. You need to comment, share, and do all the fun stuff to get this, to build the brain to wear.

truly truly because even though say you know say it gets a lot of reach well however it packs in whatever the median is where it packs in we know who's tuned in who who's about pop a team six and for the dads like that's you know i digress we both do yeah we both did you have any other comments it's stuck out to you i'd really quick great great iron gilly shirm come on dog forgetting to push the record button is a total boofer move not mad just disappointed Great callback by Gridiron Gilly. And great comment just to let you know, like, he's thinking about you. He's rooting for you.

Accountability. Yeah. He's just disappointed. He's like, you don't operate that way. I know you. You're better than that. You're better than that. Also, I've been seeing a lot of comments of Sherman looks exactly like I thought he would.

Like he looks like he sounds. How does that make you? It makes me love. Let's go in the therapy room. How does that make you feel? It makes me laugh, dude. And somebody right under that commented a jiff of Matt Stafford waving. Oh, bro, when they say Fat Stafford on the internet.

That is truly my favorite. And when the beard grows out for him and me, it does. Like, Fat Stafford begins to become a thing. Yeah. So I love it. The comments were great this week. Dude, the comments are my favorite. Denny May.

This is a wife. This is a mom. God, shout out the moms, dude. Hang on. let's see here. T. Okay. She's not a mom yet. Oh.

Right now her body's building Milk Team 6. No way. T minus 17 days until we become first time parents over here to our baby girl. Love the pod guys. My hubs has me locked in

every Wednesday watching with him. Such awesome content you are putting out in such great community you're building. It's made my husband even more excited to be joining Papa Team 6. Does that not warm your heart? make you think should we edit out the gooning? Because she had to witness that

and she might be thinking, I don't know if I can get on board. I think the gooning is the part that we bring that most TikTok moms and dads don't bring. Yeah. We bring the gooning. Yeah.

Just, yeah. Just authenticity. Just an inside look of what dads actually talk about and laugh about behind closed doors. Carlos is just in his car going, yeah, Jesus Christ, I mean, go.

And you being the younger version, me being like, in gooning, just jerking off. Like, oh, let's look it up on the dictionary. I'm like, oh, my God. Oh, yeah, it's a whole thing. Easy, yeah. It's a whole thing. The goon berets. The goon berets.

And the boofers. There'll be a PT6 booffer. I do like, so there was a dad who chimed in coach Skelly. My one-year anniversary of joining Papa Team 6 and I've learned a couple things. So a good lesson from, from Pott's. Papa Skelly. When you're in the foxhole, strap up that helmet and keep your head down. But when the bullets stop flying, make sure you check on Mama because even though you may have caught some stray bullets, she's looking like Swiss cheese.

Two, know when you just stepped on a landmine, a dad loss, and go down a hero, say sorry. And three, the enemy is the only enemy. wait and three the enemy is only the enemy for a season it will get better that's it that's good i like that dude i like the enemy is only an enemy for like just right now because it's already starting with scarlet of like i said this last week the little problems and issues like i feel like there's new problems and issues each week but there's other problems and issues from the previous week that it's like figured that one out yeah got that one solved on to the next let's fuck up something new yeah it's fun dude it's a revolving door of new experiences I love it

should we we we got to keep today we are we honestly we got to keep this one under an hour should we get into our segments how long have we actually been going chef 35 35 for real that's real so we're we're pretty much at the halfway point of the podcast we shot last week before we got word that we were recorded. And these are the vibes, too. Vives are still great. Vives are still great on the episode. But we were having incredible vibes.

God, we were. Like we are right now. Do you want to kick us off with whatever you want to kick us off? I know we usually start with dad losses. Do you want to crack a cold one first? Switch it up a little bit. Dude, we can do crack a cold one first because I got a lot of crack of cold ones.

You do, dude. you go. Just because we spent a week Saturday to Saturday in Canada. Yep. Up in Banff, Canmore. We had like, I think it's called Yoho, but we hit all these different lakes, Lake Moraine, Lake Louise. Oh, gosh, there's another one. Lake Moraine, Lake Louise.

There's a third one. There's a third one, Sherm. They should call it Lake Gatorhead because that's what it looked like. Bro. Let me, hang on, let me just. For those at home or. those listening or watching, just switch very quickly Google search

Banff. That's B-A-N-F-F, Canada. And oh my God, the views are insane. I mean, Will's going to go into it. Send me some pictures. I'll put them in the episode. I got to think of this third lake. Of this third lake. I have to. You keep going. I'll wax poetic just a little bit. Shout out to my buddy. Actually, I forgot to tell you this, Will. My buddy, Derek,

was up in Banff with his mom. They were playing golf up there at that same resort that Will was staying at. And a part of me, I wish that you guys had run into each other and I got the most epic selfie of all time from him. It did not happen. But shout out Derek, who also enjoyed Banff. Emerald Lake.

Emerald. Emerald Lake. So we hit Sunshine Meadows, Lake Moraine, Lake Louise, Emerald Lake, Johnston Canyon, or Johnson Falls, Marble Canyon, downtown Bamp, Cascade Garden. The trip was unreal. So I have a lot of crack of cold ones.

And my first crack of cold one is just, I was mentioning Nick earlier, Nick being one of my first friends ever. Yeah. And being my, like, he's like, he's my best friend. Yeah. But getting to go on vacation with him and his kiddos and his family and seeing like Roo is three and Hudson is four and getting to see them play in their dynamic and just like sitting back with my boy and just being like,

buddy how crazy is it that we're 35 were dads with families a couple kiddos and our two oldest are playing right now and getting along getting along dude they looked freaking cute bro chilling that one window pick where ruse pointing out the window and hudson's right next year yeah she's telling him something look look bird she was pointed birds bro like damn they're homies and it was so funny because I was watching for the first time Rue have interest in this boy Hudson. Yeah. And it was a true like boy girl dynamic to where Rue is just talking his ear off. And Hudson ain't wanting to talk sometimes.

Yeah, yeah. A couple times where Rue's crying. She's like, comes over like, what's wrong, sweetheart? She's like, Hudson doesn't want to talk to me. And I'm just like, oh, he's just, you know, he's just hanging out. He's just trying to chill right now and play with his motorcycles. He's trying to play with this four-wheelers. And she's bummed that Hudson doesn't.

doesn't want to talk to her. Oh, no. And it was just, it was so fun to just watch and kind of like chuckle and laugh. And also kind of think, hey, Hudson, you better tighten your shit up. Yeah, what the fuck? Don't be breaking my daughter's heart now. Don't be breaking my daughter's heart now. I saw that bunk bed video.

Yeah, yeah. Keep your hands with, I can see him. I would talk to him with these, like, some of these stern voices at times because I know him, like, we, obviously, I've been around him several times. But it's like, we're not like around each other. all the time to where like when I'm getting my voice and talking sternly he's got that he's got like those eyes where he's like what we were at

we were at breakfast and um they said you up they sit you down and they give the kids like coloring sheets yeah yeah so they're drawing bears and Rue finished this beautiful beautiful blue bear all blue let's go a little yellow in it

a little polar bear yeah yeah blue bear and she wants to go show Hudson And this is later in the week, so I've got a little bit better rapport with Hudson. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, go show Hudson, go show him. And as she's walking over there, I go, hey, huddy, he looks over and I go, you better tell her you like it. He's four. He's like, looking down at the table, I'm probably like this far away from him.

And he's like, and then who comes over, she's like, huddy, howdy, how do you look, look at my bear? And he just goes, I like it. I'm so sorry. Oh my God. And then like as she's still talking. You're a demon. You're talking a million miles and I go, huddy.

I go tell her she did a good job. And he's like, you did a good job. And Rue runs back to me. He likes it. He likes it. I know he does sweetheart. That's awesome.

Oh my God, dude. And when they're over there in that bird photo that you're talking about. Like you can get up and sit on like that side of the wall to look out the window. And she's like, Hudson, do you want to sit up here with me and hold hands? And we're chuckling. And Hudson sitting at the table.

And I was like, Hudson, you better get up there. He doesn't go up there because he's like coloring or doing whatever. But we're laughing. And Charles like, Will, are you in a spot where you're more upset? You'd be more upset that Hudson like holds her hand and it's like, you know, that boy girl dynamic or if he wouldn't hold her hand. And I'm like, I'm at the point to where he better get his ass up there and hold her hand because I don't want her to be sad.

Yeah, you got to listen to Root. You got to do what my daughter says. Yeah, yeah. Because I do. Whereas when your daughter's not around any boys are doing that stuff and you're like, oh, they're not going to date until they're here, they're there. You're like, no boys, know this, no that. To where I'm seeing something in real time and I'm just thinking, hey, Hudson,

you better get your little ass up there and hold her hand. You're going to be the dad. Do you have moms for like homecoming? Do you know what a mom is? A mom. Those big flowers. Do you have moms? No.

Big flowers. I know it's like a Texas thing, but it's like flowers made out of rich. ribbons and it's a big fucking deal for any Texas listeners or Arkansas and Oklahoma, I think that bums too. But if you were my date, Will, I would get this big old honking mum that says your name on and says Will and it's in our school colors and you would wear that to the homecoming game. And since I got you a really big one, it's basically an engagement ring for high schools, if that makes sense.

Okay. Okay. Will would be the dad that goes up to the boyfriend two weeks before homecoming and slips them 100. That would be fucking big. Big. And you know what I'm talking about. I don't know how I'm going to handle dating. I really don't.

I would love to get put on any parenting books about prepping for it because I want to say, would love to reenact the bad boys too, Will Smith, Martin Lawrence. Coming up answering the door. Just you get a gun out Huh? You smoke that shit You smoke it, don't you? You're high right now Yeah

Hey, you better have wrong by 10 Ain't gonna be no fucking the night My homies roll out Ludacris playing in the background He's just the entire time It says Yeah, yes sir I'm sorry, he just got out of prison

I just got out of jail And I ain't going back I ain't going back Oh man What do you say? You ever made love to a man? No sir You want to?

Dude, that guy's... He'll be chitty, chitty, bang, bang. That guy's face just in time. I hope everybody watching has seen Bad Boys, too. That scene is iconic. If not, I go watch it on you. That scene on YouTube right now. Such a good scene, dude.

Oh, where was I going? The dating and literature that you want to get into you. Yeah, I don't know what I'm going to do. I think that any boy that she probably dates, I'm just going to have like a good one-on-one talk with this gentleman. That'd be sick, dude. Give everybody the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure I'll do it first, you know, first one off the bus,

what they look like when they come off the bus. What I think of, I'll probably prejudge them a little bit. However, I think I'll just sit them down, man to man, and just essentially let them know how important my daughter is to me and her mom in there. And more of like a respect conversation. So that way he can at least feel my voice, I guess, feel my energy, feel my,

I don't know Like what she means to me Can I tell you Or chef's got something too And I got some I got a good one for you real quick This happened to a good friend of mine When he first met his girlfriend's parents

They talked and it was all great Sorry And as he was walking out Come on clear, clear throat Chef Scott He's got some seaman in his though I'm sorry, kids show It's a kid show

Moms are watching as he was leaving the dad goes hey wait one second and throws him something in the air my buddy catches it he looks in his hand and it's a shotgun shell he goes you see that and he goes yeah and he goes comes at you a lot faster when you're running off my front lawn he's like don't be a jackass see that's a good fear tactic it's a good fear tactic I want to do fear tactics but I almost I want to do fear tactics but I almost want him to know the respect level that he's going to have for for not only my daughter but for us I have a really really good one It has stuck with me my entire life.

So first off, shout out Coach Wright. He was a coach at Alito. This dude is such a fucking sicko. By the way, I can't believe I haven't told you about Coach Wright. He would get the Alito logo branded on his arm every state championship that they would win. He said every state championship that we win, I'll make a custom Alito logo and I'll brand myself. They would do it in the Cowboys Stadium locker room after the state championship. He would let the kids go in there with the brand and hold on.

This dude's a psychopath in the best way possible. Had a daughter two grades below me. She played soccer. The boys and girls team were very close with each other in high school. And all the boys and girls are going to the same place. We're going to like Buffalo Wild Wings or something. She happens to be riding in my car. I get a text or I get a call later that day from an unknown number.

I answer it. Sherman, this is Coach Wright. Hey coach, you know, blah, blah, I hear my daughter is going to be riding in your vehicle today. I go, yes, sir. He goes, I want to tell you something. Her life has been in my hands, my entire life. It's been in my hands. And she's now getting in your vehicle.

Her life is in your hands when you're driving my daughter around. You got that? I go, yes, sir. And he goes, I like you. You're a good kid. I know that you're going to be safe when you're driving. you're going to make sure everybody's going to have their seatbelt on blah blah yes sir yes sir all right sherman y'all have fun hangs up on me i was like i like that man yo it scared the fuck out of me but he didn't

say anything scary you didn't threaten me right but it scared the fuck out of me and dude i was tinned to that entire i have never driven safer in my life because i had his daughter in my hands at that moment yeah it was awesome i love that because it's almost too like i'm trying to picture if I'm getting a phone call like that or you're having a conversation like that. It's like you're also being made aware that dad is also going to have a relationship with you. Like he's going to communicate to you.

Yes. Like one on one. Like we'll be able to talk about this. And then also, hey, have a great night tonight. Oh, yeah. And I'm sure that daughter was probably like, because he had to have asked somebody for my number. Yeah.

Like I didn't have his number. He was my coach. Like I love too that he walked you through. I know you're going to have everybody's seatbelt on. Oh, yeah. Oh, dude, he was... You know the male brain. You know how we operate.

Yeah, yeah. High school, college, like... We're animals, bro. Yes, dude. And so those thoughts always kind of, you know, they come into my brain. Another A, in Strong Father, Strong Daughters, there's a story of the author. I don't know if it was her dad or she was, like, telling a story.

But say you're supposed to be home by 10 o'clock. Around like 9.50, her dad or the dad would go outside and start doing yard work. So that way, when they pulled in, ain't going to be no funny business taking a little extra long in that in that driveway. Dad's just going to be out there just doing nothing until she walks in

and you know you give a little wave goodbye. You know what I'm talking about. You pull in. Bro. Hey, we got 10 minutes to kill. I had a good time tonight. Dad comes over with a hole. Get some smooching going on.

Next thing you know. Dad's got a shovel over your shoulders. Yeah, you pull in and see dad out there working. Oh, shit. So I like that technique. to be such a good dad for that. Like prom night pickup, I want to be at the Compton household for prom night pickup. And you just answer in the door.

Yeah. Oh, you got her a croissage. It's a nice looking croissant. I got her one too. Just pull out a bigger one. And that's the word I was looking for. Mom's kind of like a crossage. Okay.

But made of ribbons. Okay. Saying on crack a cold one? Yeah, saying on crack. Did you have more? I could talk about Canada all day long. So you go ahead and knock out your crack a cold one. Okay, crack a cold one.

We're crib training. So we have the sleep schedule of moms on call, which is a book very similar to 12 hours and 12 weeks. You and I texted briefly about this. Will and Taylor, like very kindly as part of my paternity leave here at Bustin because I am still coming in like twice a week. Yeah. They included a night nurse for the days that I come into the office. I then can have a night nurse that night nurse that night. It just so happened that that mom's on call book, the night nurse that we had,

whatever that was like Wednesday or Thursday night, comes over. And we find out that she used to be a, not a client, but it starts with the C. you're helping people you're a consultant coach consultant coach and you know why it was actually coach I was looking for you're right okay I think it's funnier that it's consultant I'm just coach but she was a consultant as well as a coach because she would help people with this book and anyway she comes in her name's rebecca shout out rebecca so sweet an employee of Carla's shout out Carla. But yeah, dude, I mean, she was like, the earlier that you start, I saw that you'll have

moms on call, are y'all doing that? What's y'all's nightly routine? Yeah, we want to get into moms on call and we want to start with the zero to three weeks plan. The sooner that you get her on it, the better. I think the zero to three weeks, like, you know, there will be some little pains and this and that, but you get her on it. She's going to adhere to it faster.

This is why kind of broke down the science. lines to us. Oh, dude. Jill and I are sleeping in the same bed and like able to just, without a night nurse, because now I can come back and lay in bed with Jill and have Scarlet on the monitor. And Scarlet's taken to the crib very, very well, which is to be expected. Yeah, yeah. It is to be expected with the younger ones because they still don't really know what's going on. But you're still like, for everybody listening and talk, you know, if you're into sleep training, there's a lot of different methods out there. Yeah. You sound about a book called Mom's on Call.

Mom's on Call. I know I've referenced 12 hours by 12 weeks or 12 hours and 12 weeks. Yeah. There's a lot of different methods. But a lot of it, if you like dive into all that stuff, it's just like the routine of them knowing their environment. You know, when the curtains close, you put them on the changing table. You start changing their diapers, slip them into their PJs. You're closing the curtains.

You're turning on the sound machine. you're reading whether you have a night lamp next to you and you're sitting there feeding them the bottle and you got some go-to books that you read you're like training their mindset to know hey it's time this is when we start winding down and going to bed which is different from like a nap like you know you'll train also doing nap time but like again it's like getting all of their surroundings and environment right to where their brain starts to figure out hey this is when it's time to rest this is when it's time for bedtime this is your final feed this is your big feed before yeah yeah yeah Like, it was so cool. I don't want to spoil my dab loss because it is a fun one. But you'll see in that story, initially, Scarlet was in the bassinet with us in our room. Very fussy. Very, very fussy in the bassinet.

And we had been doing the crib training before that. Mom was a little worried. You'll find out later why. So she wanted to keep a close eye on Scarlett. So we had her in bassinet. She's fussy. She's fussy. Jill falls asleep.

I go do my first change on night shift, and I just thought to myself, hey, I'm going to help Jill get some sleep and get some rest. Let's try the crib. And I'll keep a close eye on Scarlett, on the monitor. And bro, you could see the difference in Scarlet once she got the sleep sack on.

And I put her in the crib. She was like, this is the spot where I sleep. Like, this is the spot where I'm comfortable. This is the sounds. and like it dude it was cool and that's after like four nights yeah but you could tell that there was a major difference of bassinet what the hell is this i want to be in that shit crib oh hell yeah this is yes right she's sub fussing it was awesome and too it's like there are babies that do just fine in a bassinet there are a hundred percent i want to like my mom because i remember i was like six or seven

i was six when white was born and i just always remember like we slept not in a bassinet but just a close hamper next to the bed I love that I know like one of them wide low to the ground wide close hamper's and we just slept next to the bed but there are babies that do well it's just every baby is different you figure it out like as you're going in but like I know like myself my wife too it's like you you like to have some kind of plan going into something and then if you got to deviate you deviate but at least you understand a toolbox

by these methods like when there's times to deviate when and not make something a habit. I love that though. That fires me up. Have you tried, like a dad lost of mine, have you tried putting a stuffed animal in the crib? No.

All right. Do I need to? No. I put a little stuffed animal in there. And Charles, yeah, Charles C on the monitor, you got a stuffed animal? I thought she'd like a stuffed animal. She's like, sweetheart, you can't put nothing in the crib

when they're this little. Oh, she goes upstairs. I'm like, shit. I thought she liked this line. I got her. Being married to a nurse. that stuff was ingrained beforehand. Yeah.

Like I know that that's so off limits. It's not even funny. Yeah. I do not mess around. If I put a little burt cloth over the thing, but to the point to where she's, her arms are now out and she can kind of move around and kind of grab stuff, you can't have something hanging on the cribs.

Why is that suffocate? It's like, Cid's like if they were to get trapped or caught to where they can't, like Scarlett's young enough, she's probably not able to like roll over on her own. It's like if she does, it'd be like, oh shit, she rolled over on her own. but a lot of babies are not able to,

if they get in that spot and there's something stuffed in their face, it can suffocate them. And Sid stands for sudden infant death syndrome, which is basically them passing away in their sleep. Right. So a lot of times, all the times you'll see, like,

when you have your first kid, like they'll be in the crib, they'll be wherever they're at Bassinet crib, doesn't matter, and there just won't be anything in there because they're laying on their back, you don't want them to risk any, like there won't be any pillow or nothing like that.

We interrupt this episode because Bustin with the boys has a big announcements. We are going to be in Lincoln, Nebraska, on September 19th, my birthday, my birthday now, for the biggest rivalry weekend of the season, the Michigan Wolverines at the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The boys, Bustin with the boys, we will be doing a live show, food, drink, special guests, the whole kit and caboodle, we will be live and pre-sale tickets are. live right now at rocococetor.com and use code the boys to access these pre-sale tickets live. Is that correct, clump? Did I say that correctly?

Rocococetor.com. Use code the boys to get your pre-sale tickets now because the boys again will be in Lincoln, Nebraska, September 19th, my birthday for Michigan at Nebraska. Go shop, go buy. Go get the tickets. Because even, it's funny. dude like even scarlet in her environment like with a passie right now uh we'll put her in with a passie which is a big difference between um 12 weeks and or 12 hours and 12 weeks and moms on call is that they

moms on call allows a pacifier we allow i mean ru had a passing until three oh well then there you go um yeah i knew that yeah and like uh scotty'll have this woven up she's not a big passy gal which fires me up because she's does she just doesn't mess with passy she's not about it yeah because we try to do that for her to help self-sooth because they can grab these webbin-ups, like the little mini-stuffed animals, and they have a little pacifier on the end. Yes. But even Roo still has Taigi.

Tygey was a webunub. Just doesn't have the passy up there anymore because it fell off because it's just getting, you know, it's just getting raggedy and tossed around and the passy fell off at some point. But it's like the self-soothing, just have like a little stuffed animal. Tygey's the man.

I love. I talk to Tai-E so much. I got to talk to Tygie. I did all that to say, very excited about the crib training. Thank you. I mean, Jill would have gotten on the sleep schedule stuff anyways because that's Jill. But thank you for being so on it with the 12 hours and 12 weeks because it did kind of reinforce like, oh, this is important.

But I'm seeing the benefits of the importance of like giving me time, giving Jill time, building structure. Now like it's ingrained in my head. okay nine o'clock's coming around so we'll do that final feed and then you're just in the know too like a lot of it wasn't like hey do this you should do this but it's like for dads out there listening one way to like you'll have a massive win with your partner is you digesting a book on like whether it's sleep training or sleep scheduling because a lot of times moms kind of they're the they're the pioneer they're the ones leading the charge and they're kind of teaching you why it is and you're kind of like learning on the fly versus if you're on the same page and you understand a little bit as well

it puts a massive stressor off of them because they know you're in it with them. Yes, dude. Also, really quick, this is my dad hack for the week. Actually, it doesn't. It's a bonus hack. Rebecca was burping Scarlet. Like, we were doing, like, this style of burping. The night nurse, like, set Scarlet up on her leg and started just moving her in circles like this.

And, like, with the butt, like, Scarlet's butts right here. And she's just kind of, like, rotating Scarlet around. she's burping like crazy dude it's so sick i haven't heard of that one that's a good one okay i got i'll send you a video i'll have jill video it have you done the motorcycle you had to get farts out yeah jill does that's so fun get them the motorcycle legs and then push on their stomach oh you got a little gas in there you know that you can do that with uh full grown adults no they do it in the hospital all the time jill taught me how to do it

You literally, like, this is such bad radio, but like you make a ball, you make a fist, and you rub on the top of the intestine, and then down the side of the intestine, and then across again over by the belly button of the bottom intestine, and then get both legs and push in, pull out, push in, pull out. Repeat that. If you're ever gassy and feel like shit, dude, you will start. We should make each other fart. Tootin.

We should make each other fart for a social video. I'll do it. I'll fucking do it. And we'll have Jill teach us. I mean, Jill will... Chef can video and we'll just be right here on the floor making each other far. I'd be laying in bed going, oh, oh, and Jill come

rub it out, dude, get my legs going, and it's just... We have to do that. That'd be fun. Have to do it. Should we get into dad losses? Yes. Any more crack of cold ones? That was it.

Yeah, my big cracker cold ones, I mean, the vacation was just unreal. But I got some good dad losses. Okay, cool. My dad losses on the week. The theme is around hiking. Our very first hike, day one. RUZ got these new little hiking boots that we got from REI. Shouted RRII.

I know free shoutouts to REI. I didn't realize that RIA. These adorable little hiking boots. She's ready to go. It's a little rainy and cold outside. But it's our first one we're pushing through. This is at a sunshine mountain or sunset, whatever. And Rue doesn't want to hike.

I got a carrier most of the time. Or Charo does. Or Nick. My boy, Nick. No. 16 was filling in caring her because Grady, Grady, their youngest, he's fussy. I'm right, he's riding on my shoulders at times

because I'm trying to, I'm trying to help out my fellow Papa Seel. Like, let me take Grady. Like, you know, let's have fun with somebody he's not as familiar with because they'll probably just stop and just be up high. Like, let's bounce. Oh, look at this, look at this rock. But dad loss is like hiking. Both of my stories is around hiking because it's like,

the kids was just tough to get hiking sometimes. If one's hiking, the other one's pissed off. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's like Scotty will be fussy. Oh, maybe it's her feeding time. You get her fed. Oh, she's good to go.

She's knocked out sleeping. You probably saw a lot of those photos to where she's just hanging out the back, just knocked out. But she might be good and then Rue's upset. She's not wanting to hike. My legs don't walk. I can't walk. Oh, no.

Bro, we were like, we're sitting there and join the sights and I just see Rue just coming from behind. She's like, dad, dad. I'm like, sweetheart, what is this? She's like, it's too cold. I can't walk. I need you to home me. We just get down here and then Daddao pick you up.

Get me inside. It's too cold. She said that? Yes, bro. I mean, man, shut up. Get walking. Did you tell her how cold they used to get in Lincoln? Bro.

She doesn't know. She doesn't know. She will one day. When he's playing against Iowa, minus 13 degree wind chill. You did that at, what is it? Lard, whale lard. The Vaseline on his arms. No sleeves.

Out in the cold. Air coming out. That was your old man out there. Get dad as inside. Yeah. You got a hoodie on. You got a jacket on. You got your little hiking pants and sweats.

You got your boots on. Like just walk. I'm trying to teach your body. By the back half, it was a big win. Because I'm teaching my sweetheart. If you just move faster and run, like your body will heat up. So I'm turning things in the games. That's a little dad hack is.

And all the parents know this, turning things in the games. So it's like, oh, my God. Look at that rock. Let's climb up that rock. There might be a bear. There might be a bear up there. And then you get him climbing on the rock. Hey, let's run up this hill.

I think there's like a bear or a fox up this hill and you get running up the hill. And it's like, hey, don't you feel better? She's like, yeah. And then she's bragging about how she walked like the last quarter of the hike. But you're like, dude, you crushed it. And then you're kind of building that callous throughout the week. Now we get to Friday. We're going to go and see Moraine Lake again.

But we had already seen Moraine Lake. So I'm like, hey, let's do a pivot. Somebody responded to me on Twitter and said, we need a hike Mirr Lake. We need to go up and see Mirr Lake. They posted this beautiful photo of Mirr Lake. because I posted one of us hitting the sunset canoe on Lake Louise, which was all time. Okay, okay.

5 a.m. wake-up was tough. Rooding, you know, there's a lot of bitching and moaning and complaining going on, but it's like once we get out to the boat, we'll be riding the boat. It's going to be beautiful. You're going to love it. She loved it. The sunrise canoe was all time. But we get to where it's like, all right, the second part,

we were going to go take a shuttle to Moraine Lake. We found out the shuttle. You had to have car seats in it. We didn't want to uninstall the car seats from the car, or from the car garage. Reinstall them in the shuttle. Then you do the whole trip with the shuttle. You come back from the shuttle. You uninstall them from the shuttle.

You reinstall them in the car. We didn't want to do all that. But I'm like, hey, I got a great pivot. Somebody responded on Twitter. Said we should hike Mir Lake. This photo looks gorgeous. Yeah. And he said the kids could handle it.

Buddy, this incline. Oh, no. I mean, my legs were shaking like a dog-shin peaties. Oh, you were hurting that. Within 10 minutes. Who's this guy that you? no, I need to go back and back, buddy. And then I go back on Twitter

because I wanted to respond to him and be like, bro, it was fucking brutal. Because I had the hiking, the hiking carrier on with the little Scotty sitting in the back. Charles got all the bells and whistles snacks. These heavy-ass water bottles in there. I'm carrying 40 plus in this hiking backpack going up this hill.

Amstrings are burning. Like I said, my legs were shaking like a dog shit and peach seeds. Not even that high up. We're 10 minutes in and I'm leaning on a tree because, you know, the rest of the crew is a little. behind me because people are dragging a little bit. I'm thinking, ain't no way

the kids are going to be able to handle this. Rue can't, again, she can't walk. Her legs aren't working. You're moving them right now. Just look down and go one step at a time. I'm trying to do the left. Check out this song. Left, left, left, right, left.

And she's crying, and it's like, you got to stop. And we get up to the mirror lake. Now, it's a good view. Yeah. It wasn't the picture. I got up there and I looked back at Nick and I go, what the hell is this? I mean, it was still a nice, like, little lake,

but it wasn't the photo that the dude showed me where there's a mountain sitting behind it, and it's just this beautiful mirror-looking. You see the water, and it just looks incredible. It was Lake Agnes or Lake Agnew or whatever was. That's another, like, 800,000 meters up. What is this guy doing? And this hike was four hours, bro.

Bro. There and back, round trip. Find out who that was because they 100% set you up. buddy it was a it was like a four mile hike round trip they set you up we walked on the way down and we played this game the entire time like we were trying to count it was like three five onion three five leopard it was three five say any word you want and we would just go back and forth all the way down the mountain but and i'm saying all the way up and all the way down like this this it was the elevation was like this the entire time there's no like walking and then you get a little

flat it's this the entire time going up this mountain oh two miles up bro And I'm halfway through it. I'm sitting there. I'm like, this motherfucker. Like, just full on switchbacks? Like going. Yeah, but I'm talking long. Like, there were a couple switchbacks,

but I'm saying long. You'd be looking up the mountain with zero hope. You know what I mean? Like, you might find one. Okay, once we get around this corner, it might flatten out. Or once we get around this,

it might be easier. Buddy, you're looking at. You couldn't look up. You just had to look down and think, one step at a time, Willie. You fucking got that. That's the worst part about hiking of when you're saying leaning up against the tree

is it's like stopping is almost worse than continuing to go. Yeah. Because I got this heavy hiking pack on it. I'm like sitting it on rocks. I'm just trying to take a break. I'm wearing too many layers at this point. So I'm sweating.

I'm sweating everywhere. And then on the way down, it rains the entire time. But Charo hits me with, you got the easier job. As we're walking up, I will toss you off this one. Because I know it's tough with the root. Like she's with the three-year-old that is all of a sudden paralyzed.

She doesn't want to walk. She's got a carrier at times. She's got to slowly walk with her. She's behind the pack. So I get, you're in hell with the little one. I'm like, I'm glad I don't have Rue,

but this, with this weight on my back, like you know how my L4, 5, and S-I joint is. I'm talking decompressed. My disc are fading on me. I'm still feeling it right now.

Hop on that four-hour flight back from Canada. I'm getting off and I'm like having to slowly, fully extend because that it was it was something she had the nerve to hit me halfway up hey you got the easy job what'd you say what'd you call her i said i said i said i said bitch you said that you said some version of that what you say show said you really said that though yeah yeah yeah i yeah i said i said bitch good shut up no one tag charge in the comments. No, hey, if we post this clip two, you better run the key and peel skin of what the

reference is. I was like, what? He didn't talk to her like that. I ate it. I heard her and I just, I kind of scoffed. I just said, all right. And I kept pushing because there was no time. That's nobody's coming to save you.

Yes. That's where when you see in the comments, I hope your heart turns black, like you just had to focus on one step at a time. I love that you were leading the pack to you. But, yeah, and the dad lost and all of that because on the way down, Nick and Rachel and their family, they're way behind us because Nick's having to carry Hudson. He's sleeping at this point because he was, like it was, you know, we got up there. You're throwing rocks in the lake.

You're having a great time. Yeah. Man, hey, these moments starts raining on us. And the loss for me is I'm the one who led us up the mountain. Yeah, dude, four mile hike. I didn't know what I was getting into. I'm going off a Twitter comment that says, hey, you got to check out Mir Lake. Kids can handle it.

I'm 10 minutes in being like, I hope it gets flatter because there ain't no handling this, buddy. Pt6 has its first enemy. yeah I'll find him he's a great guy well here's the here's the issue I go on Twitter to end up telling him the breakdown but I go on Twitter and he has another reply damn what is it saying we'll pause it we'll edit and get

get faster to it no that's so rough dude imagine he just accidentally he just messed up the lake and he looks back at it like two hours later oh shit I should probably tell him that's not the one it wasn't the lake Bill's halfway up in that. Oh, dude.

I said, he said, take hike up to Mir Lake while you're there. Worth it. The kids can handle it. I said, we have changed our plans and now going to Mirr Lake because of this reply. Thank you. He hits me with awesome. Let me see. We're scrolling.

He's scrolling. Okay, awesome. My wife and I stayed at Moraine Lake Lodge for our anniversary a couple years ago and spent the day at Lake Louise. Also, I just looked at the pics. That lake is actually called Lake Agnes. Mir lake is on the way up if I remember correctly I'm not sure he said a couple other things

but I'm stuck on that the kids can handle it I'm wanting to know what kind of savages what kind of Jocko Willings is he packing in his family that's the problem that's the issue with hiking and skiing slash snowboarding is somebody just telling you hey the blacks here like the blacks in Breckenridge

are not the equivalent of the black diamonds you're talking about black diamonds Black guys. Make that clear. Black die. And you can quote it. The blacks and Breckridge, I'm like, I know. 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 a...

We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how 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.

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.

There's black diamond. They're a little different. Yeah. Sorry, what were you going to say, Sean? Someone had a comedy, had a bit on that, some stand-up.

Oh, that is right. Somebody did have a good stand-up bit. I went to a gas station and they're like, well, the blacks here are really rough. He was talking about the ski slopes. The black diamond. But you're right.

It's almost like, I have much other preface, hey, it's worth it. It's a little bit of a grind. So buckle in. Yeah, dude. Because I'm thinking,

my first question, do you have a three-year-old? If so, is his name David Gagins? because my three-year-old, her leg stopped working immediately. Because if you broke down college football to me, like, hey, really getting on the team of college football, it's really not that hard, Sherman.

Yeah. Like you could have, maybe you could have played college football. Buddy, me trying to play D1 college football, not a chance. Yeah, it's really not that bad. There's levels to this. Well, it was, yeah. But I'm sitting there, again, 10 minutes in like, holy shit, I hope this gets easier.

And it, it was that. That elevation the entire time, dude. There's truly no worse feeling. My mom got hoodwinked one time into a similar thing of, oh my gosh, you've never been on galping goose trail? Like, it's the best, easiest hike of all time, and the views are great. My mom's, like, literally stuck on the mountain at one point.

I don't remember the full story, but, I mean, it was like, she got fucked. Yeah. I mean, if it was just me, my wife, Nick and his wife, Nick and Rachel, like, that's a fun hike. Yeah. You're going up, oh, let's go up to Lake Agnes or Agnew. I hate that, I keep messing that up.

But when you got 40 plus on your back and your three-year-old is just not cooperating, I want to meet this guy's kids. I do too. Jesus Christ. Oh, another dead loss. Yeah. We were sent, Papa Team Six. Papa Team Six soldiers, Will and Nick were sent on a mission to go get diapers.

We ran out of diapers on the last day. Or we had like one left. And it's like, hey, we need to go get size four diapers. Because we still got the plane ride home. Like, who knows what Scottie. You know, you got to have diapers. Make sure you pack enough diapers. But we were running low.

Nick and his side, they were also running low. She also told Nick, hey, you need to go get some baby wipes too. We need wipes and we need fives. He's getting size five. I'm seeking size four. We call down to the village because you got to drive 15 minutes down the mountain to go get diapers. Yeah, yeah. We get down to the, they're like, yeah, we got size four.

We don't have size five. But Nick's going to go and get baby wipes. And we're just going to go, hey, Nick and I, we're just going to run the solo mission. We'll do it. You know, have them stay back, take care of the kids. You get a breath of fresh air and I get to talk to my boy because I feel like I don't get to talk to him the whole time because when you're on vacationing with another family, you're not at dinner catching up.

You're at dinner negotiating with your kids to eat. You're not really having intimate conversations. You're in the trenches the entire time as parents trying to be like, hey, how do you usually do this? Yeah, we usually go this route. Like let's work together to try and corral all these minions the entire time. So it's a nice breath of fresh air. Me and my boy, Nick, we're going to drive down to the village.

We're going to get some diapers. We go down, simple mission, get fours, get fives, get wipes. We get down to the village grocery store, and we're in the aisle, and we're seeing fours and fives, and we don't know which brand to get. So me and him both are on the phone calling our wives, asking about, hey, there's pamper's here, there's huggies, like, which brand do you want us to get? And so my dad loss is just not being able to accomplish the simplest task of going to just pick up some diapers.

Why do you got to call mom? Like, I'm sure they got a tone that's like, they can't do one simple thing. And we're both in aisle too, both of us walking on the phone. And I'm laughing. We both start laughing because I'm like, look at us. We can't go down this mountain and just pick up diapers. We have to call our wives and make sure we're getting the right ones. So that was my final dad loss.

Dude, I could not agree with you more. Was that Target, I believe, two days ago. And we have some boogey wipes that Jill has an order off the internet. and she goes, yeah, we can get these Target brand wipes for her face. Because, you know, they're 99% water. And I go, the ones that we have at home are 99% water. Why are we getting that? And she was like, those are the expensive ones.

You don't use those on her face. We get the store brand for that. I was sitting over there pushing the stroller going, I think we do like the coterie diapers. That's what we use. I think they absorb a lot more. like the overnight diapers. It's like you can go and get overnight diapers, but these ones are like an all-purpose.

Yeah. That's what we have. The coterie. And then, oh, coterie. I don't know. Coterie. Coterie? Coterie. Coterie.

Yeah. But we have the wipes, too. The coterie wipes. We use, um, is it Honeywell? Honeywell? Honest. I know there's an age. Honest.

Yeah, honest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen that too. Dude, it's so funny when Scarly gets older and they get done pooping. That's like, you know, If she goes pee, she can do it by herself. She can get toilet paper and do all that. But when they're pooping, it's so funny.

Dad, I need you to come wiping. I'll, like, walk in the bathroom and she's already, like, down and fucking hands on the ground, butt up and stuff. And it's just so funny. Because her head just, like, burned down on the ground. He's just like, oh, my God. I do, like, I don't think about it at all when I'm doing diaper changes. And I think the other night, like, I truly kind of thought about what I was doing, and I laughed.

because I had some extra oh man I know the name of Destin the Destininin diaper rash cream and you gotta put it on the cheeks and then you gotta kind of get in between the cheeks too and put it on there whenever I have extra Destinin

I just wipe it on my leg like I'm just like oh I'll just wipe it off and then I was thinking about it What? Hang on hang on what I'm saying dude once I thought about it You say you get shit on your hand and you'll wipe it on your pant leg Well, no, this is after I've, like, cleaned her off, cleaned her off.

Like, I've wiped her with wipes, and then I get the little cream. Because, you know, she's all slick and clean. I get in there and pull, blah, blah. Yeah, for the, to protect it gets diaper rash? Yeah. Okay. And then I would wipe it off on my leg, not thinking anything. Okay, yeah, I do that too.

And then I thought to myself, I did just get all up in that business. Yeah, yeah, you put your finger in the hole, and you're just wiping it on your band. It just wiping it on my leg, like, oh, yeah, that's fine. buddy when you start when you start wiping out so they go number two it's it's just so funny dude that's hilarious i didn't even think about that yeah um i'll do my dad loss really quick um for anyone that follows me got to keep it under an hour got to keep it under an hour for anyone that follows me on twitter uh the battle of helms deep uh which for lord of the rings fans out there they know what that is if you are not a lord of the rings fan i highly advise you to go

watch the original trilogy. Are you a big Lord of the Rings guy? I have watched The Lord of the Rings. I've only watched it around one time. Oh, no, it's Taylor that hasn't seen it. Like he was too scared, I think. He tells the story where he was like too scared as a kid. Yeah.

But God, great movies. Anyways, there's an epic battle Helmsdeed. And holy shit. So to preface this entire story, Taylor had a end of the year interned part. at his house, a swim party, to celebrate the interns and tell him good job. We're like, we got to show face at this party.

Like, I need to say bye to the interns. We need to get out of the house. They can meet the baby. They can meet the baby. Jill is fully on board. She's like, you do need to show face at this party. We need to be good about showing up to things and not making scarlet an excuse to miss out on stuff. Love that.

Everyone's on the same page. So Jill is being an absolute superhero I'm packing the diaper bag She's crushing it But I do technically have I got a little wind because she had a little Oopsie she had a mom loss And instead of doing a scoop

And a half of formula which would equal three ounces She did two scoops and a half of formula Because we were rushing out of the house Okay So after Taylor's We get in the car And we're in Taylor's driveway she starts fussing.

Jill goes, I'm just going to feed her in the car. I said, okay, I'll text Taylor and just tell him, hey, we're parked in your driveway. Everyone pretty much has left at this point. If you see my car, we're just feeding Scarlett. We'll head out. Jill dumps all two and a half of that formula into the bottle, mixes it up.

So Scarlet's working with like three times the carbs of what is normally put into her body at feeding time. fast forward to dad's night shift later that night she knocks it down easy knocked it down and passes out and we're like wow she was really sleepy the pool must have taken it out of her I mean she's so sleepy oh my gosh later that night I do first diaper change at the beginning of my night shift there's no poop I go oh okay well that's happened before there's pee in here though so everything's working second diaper change oh there's no poop okay we're really rocking right now luck is on my side god is god is with me god is good i was like

but like okay like that's kind of weird but whatever i get to my final one which is like 430 5 o'clockish in the morning in the morning is around the time of the final one and i change her diaper and again there's no poop or pee i put bottle in her mouth and dude as soon as bottle hits her mouth it was truly sauron's forces the the orcs were marching on helms deep and the dun dun dun dun dun dun dun like piss and shit is leaking out of her onesie she shits so much that it seeped through the diaper it wasn't even a blowout dude it was like seeping through all of her stuff because it was a backlog of like the last three feeds in that triple carb feed that we did I'm just laughing at this point because I'm like okay now I'm in it like this is why everybody's been talking about

I'm in it and dude I'm feeling the hot stuff just go down my chest oh my god oh yeah all all over me I'm like this is fine we're fine I get her on the changing table she's shitting all over you it's the pee coming out really but the pee is getting filtered through the shit and the diaper.

So it's like shitty piss that's like leaking all over me. Oh, buddy. And I'm like, okay, but we're fine. We're fine. We're fine. We'll get through this. I got to use the wipes on her. I'll get her cleaned off. She's being great.

Super easy on the changing table. And I'm like, that wasn't that bad. Look, Scarlett, we got it. We got the change. I got your diaper change. I got you in a new outfit. You're all clean. Let's put some lotion on you.

Let's take you to the spa. You love lotion. So I'm doing the lotion on her. She's loving it. Get her in her new outfit. Just waterfall. Because she has this whole backlog of all these feeds in her belly spits up all over the new change. I'm like, hey, that's okay.

Let's burp you a little bit. Blah, blah. She's over there just burping like a champ. Wipe her down. Wipe her down. Didn't change diaper because I was like she didn't put new outfit on. all over that that we're now on the third outfit

so I did three outfit changes she was into her fourth one only had to do one diaper change technically too but I survived the Battle of Homes Deep we are good but it was crazy you're better me

we were just and it's got to dry I ought to wipe her off you know we got this outfit on you you got to dry Jill before that too had a not argument but a stern talking to about setting mom up for success at the beginning of her shift. She said at Bussin, when you clock out, I bet you don't half ass it. You seem to really put in full effort whenever you're clocking out whenever you're leaving. Whereas with baby Scarscar, sometimes when we're clocking out, we just do the motions and then here you go, Mom.

I'm going to go pass out. None of the bottles are washed, none of the things are done, et cetera. I said, honey, that's a great note. I'm going to take that and run with it. And so that's in the back of my head as I was doing multiple outfit changes. I feel that. But I have a new medal that I thought we could bring into our lore of PT6. Pt6.

What do you get? Instead of a purple heart, it's the purple shart. And I got my, I earned a purple shart. I love that. For getting shitted on by my daughter. Yeah. I rock with that. But that was my dad loss.

You handled it well. Thank you. You know, it sounds like you kept the optimism up. I saw the tweet. I saw the post. Oh, buddy, he's improbable. Oh, dude, it was.

You know, I dramatized it. I put all the outfits on it. I went to the dirty clothes hamper and pulled all of them out and put them on there. Yeah. Made it look more like a battlefield. Since we got to keep it under an hour, you want to hit these calls?

Please. Please. Who's our first call in? First call in is... What up, fellas. This is Trey and Chattanooga. I have a... Trey and Chattanooga.

Okay. Content request. Because as a dad who logs a lot of movies with my kids, I would love to hear you guys talk about some movies that you have logged with your kids, which ones are your favorites, not just for the sake of entertainment, but it's like depth,

even developing, even like good movies to watch. Watch with your daughters, you know, like, hey, this is a great one. But, yeah, I heard Will talking about Moana. And unfortunately, Tefeiti's not the bad guy, Willie. Tefeiti's just the other side of the, what is it, the heart necklace where, you know, our boy Maui stole it from the heart of Tefeiti. So when her heart was restored, she was the big old green giant-looking lady that laid down on the mountain range.

And that was the end of that story. kind of a, you know, an analogy for us as people where you can have anger and rage whenever, you know, something's taken away and then kind of making things right, you know. So all that to say, Will, just, uh, Moulana's a fucking classic. So I'm going to say, what he said? Put on Tefidi's name. So all that to say, Will, Mwan is a fucking classic. He's out here defending Moana with his life, which I love it.

Trey and Chattanooga. He said, defending Tefidi's name on behalf of the dad's. PT6, I'm out. But his question was, what are three good films that you love watching with Ruse? Some Pizza Friday films. Some of my go-toes. Are we talking like favorites of Ruse?

Yeah. Favorites to watch with the kids? That you also enjoy. We've gotten in recently to Cars, which fired me up. We tried cars early on and she just wasn't, you know, she always wanted a princess on. So we'd had to pick like Princess movies. So Frozen, both

frozen's she loves frozen she's all about frozen cars great one um and the third one i would say inside out great movie with the with the feelings joy happy sad what is it nervous anger i love inside out and inside out too yeah love them both yeah the anxiety one hit home for me on the second one I was like, bro, inside out goes hard. There's a lot of good kids movies. It's kind of hard to narrow it down to three.

We do always try to choose something different because we're when she, it's early on it's like frozen or die. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like I'm talking tantrum. Yeah. Cars has fired me up recently.

It's a good competitive one. Overcoming adversity. And then inside out. I just, I love the concept of inside out and dealing with your feelings. labeling your emotions, getting to kind of communicate with them in that way, like after the movie and days following. So those would be my three.

I don't, I mean, obviously. Oh, God. How to Train Your Dragon. Oh, yeah. How to Train Your Dragon is a great way. Oh. Toy Story is always a classic. But there's a lot of.

Live action on How to Train Your Dragon. I haven't seen it yet. I want to see it. I haven't seen it. Leelow and Stitch, the live action is incredible. Okay, I need to see that. That's Jill's favorite animated. Yeah, but those would be my movies.

Excuse me. Time. Yes, we got wrap up. I do want to say if you haven't seen Puss and Boots, the Wish movie, have you seen that? No. Will. You have to watch that movie. To all listeners out there, the- Puss and Boots?

The Last Wish, right? The Last Wish. Okay. Thank you, Chef. Bro, that movie is so fucking dialed. Unbelievable. It is a great kids movie. it is even better adult movie.

And I truly walked away from that movie with like some pep in my step and was like, Hollywood can still tell a great story. Like, wow, that was an incredible story. Puss and boots. The last wish. I was so surprised by that. Thought it would just be another throwaway, but it was incredible. All right, next caller.

Years, I got a two-year-old son. A crazy trip, but sure. baby who will give you the breakdown on what's next force your baby to sleep you got to figure out ways

to get them down to calm them down you got to figure out how you're going to feed them when to feed them wake windows you know a lot coming up shirm congratulations again

this is Riley Hopatine 6 Canadian operators Canadian operator We got to get a Canadian flag now. Yeah, we do. Riley from Canada.

Calling in, can we pay for that international calls? Is there a way that we can cover him on the back end? Get him on the Venmo? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, maybe he'll get merch. But like, let's. I think it's covered if it's continental. Like, I think Canada, there's no.

Okay, okay, good. I would think. Good. So he's asking, have I prepped you for what next phase? Yeah, next phase, which just hearing that it's a reflection of what we talked about earlier with like each week brings new new challenges. But I'm all ears. You being on that mom on calls, it's like if I'm referring back to the 12 hours by 12 weeks, like it all comes down to those wake windows and sleeping and trying to get them to sleep through the night. And when you're optimistic, you might have a couple of good days that get stacked up, but then a sleep regression might come.

And you're kind of just, you're just in the think of it again. it's like a new challenge. It's like new adversity. You're thinking to yourself, oh man, I'm really stacking up four, five, six hours of sleep. But then all of a sudden,

they're waking up pissed off in your mind for no reason. But that to me would probably be your next phase. Okay. It's like once you get into the months, we'll be able to talk more about that, but I think like your next weeks.

Because again, as we're talking in this episode is being released, you're on week four right now. Yeah, yeah. It's like you're hopeful that they hit all those three hours of sleep because they eat

eat sleep shit for for a bit and I know with 12 hours by 12 weeks it's like uh week six or week eight is like when boot camp begins yeah like when you're really starting to dial them in on having them teaching them to self-sooth trying not to pick them up all the time and just being like hey daddy's here finding a song going to your go-to lullaby as we talk about that all the time but that'll kind of be your next that'll kind of be your next phase in my opinion if I can remember correctly it's all about in those first few months. Like if you're on like a sleep training, like the goal is getting them to sleep through

the night, the formula that we went by. Yeah, that's kind of what Taylor alluded to at the pool party. We talked briefly and he was asking, he was like, she's three weeks, right? And I was like, yeah. And he was like, yeah, really the next step it felt like for us was like the babies almost become self-aware. They're like, oh, shit, I'm a baby and I'm like, what's going on? Yeah.

And there's the good part of that. is they start to smile. It's like right now, especially with mom, because they're in it 24-7, you got postpartum and everything else. Like the baby just takes from them, takes, takes, takes, takes, needs the boob, needs milk, needs fed, needs burp, needs change,

all the stuff. Yeah. And mama's just on deck the entire time. Yeah. And then when they start to smile, it's like now you're getting something back in return, which cheers you up. Gives you great.

That makes a lot of sense. Taking videos. Because again, those first weeks, it's like you caught that smile picture probably from her pooping and stuff. But when they start to look and see you and be aware and you can kind of maybe entertain them a little bit or they're looking around and observing a lot more, you start to get a return. You start to get an ROI on your investment. I'm excited for that.

Excited for that. And I'm excited for the challenge of it too. I really do think that your heart turns black is like such a real thing in this dad stuff. Yeah. I don't know. Like, I don't know how to describe it, but like, I'm not miserable at 4.30 in the morning feeding her. Yeah. And I can't describe that feeling. Yeah. I think you do a good job of not putting yourself in like a reactionary state. It's almost like, again, it's like embracing and anticipating that sucky moments are going to come. And as long as you're able to anticipate because you can't anticipate a plan working. Yeah. You're anticipating a plan to just go to just unfold and unravel. And you're in those moments pivoting and trying to. And trying to figure out, just reminding yourself that this is what you signed up for. Yeah, Jill, the only note that I've gotten from this last week was Jill is like, I'm almost too unbothered in some moments. She's like, hey, Scarlet's screaming.

I'm like, holding Scarlet, I'm like, yeah, I know. Like, I'm, you know, I'm bouncing. Yeah. You're like, were you going to do the passie? Do you want to take her outside? I mean, she's screaming. Something's wrong. I'm like, yeah, she's a baby.

Like, it's all, like, I'll figure it out. And she's like, I need some, I love that attitude, but I need some pep in the step. Like, what's your plan? How are you going to get her to stop crying? I'm like, all right. I love the comments of the boys reacting to your story about being out and getting on the video game. Oh, dude. So funny.

Oh, dude. So funny, dude. Yeah. I mean, you live and you learn, dude. And it's like, I'm trying to be a good partner to Jill, obviously. And that's like separate of Scarlet, too. Like, just in marriage. It's like my soccer coach in high school had a great quote.

He said, if I quit whenever something was hard, I would have divorced my wife, you know, 30 years ago. That's a bar. You know, everything's going to be difficult. Good things in life are difficult. But it's like, yeah. I don't even know where I was going with that. You were spitting. Yeah, you were blacked out and you were spitting, buddy.

What were we even talking about? I don't know. That's the beauty of the show. You should get lost in your thoughts, man. You got dad breaking going on right now. I do. I'm thinking about how my wife texts me and she's like, she's like, hey, you're going to be home in time to help with bath time?

Because I was like, I'll be home in time for bedtime. I forget Sundays is bad time. We're recording right now on Sunday and we're trying to get it in so that way we can get back home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Be on dad duty. But as far as anticipating, another little dad hack that I'll give before I drop a quote that I heard from a gentleman. You like that? Please.

A little quote that I heard from a gentleman earlier. But a nice little dad hack that I experienced with the two littles with Hudson and Rue in Canada was when we were staying in the hotel together, same room, all that stuff, but prepping them before anything happens. I remember I sat each of them down individually. I was like, sweetheart, go ahead and step out in the hallway. I'm going to talk to Rue one-on-one.

And then I pulled Hudson aside and I was like, hey, let me grab your ear one-on-one. And I sat them down and I was like, hey, we're about to go to dinner time. We need you. You know, Grady? I'm talking to Hudson. You know your brother Grady's fussy.

You know, Scotty, she can get fussy too. And Rue, she's kind of, she's up and down right now. She really hinges on you, Hudson. Yeah. I'm going to need you to stay poised. And he's like, he's just looking at me. And I'm like, I love your fit. I love how you get the stripes on the collared shirt.

I love how they met your boots. They have little cowboy boots on them. And I love that watch you rocking right now. You look like a star. And I'm going to need you to perform like a star at dinner tonight. Whenever things get a little hazy and the sharing doesn't go well, I'm going to look at you. And I'm going to say, hey, Hudson, remember what we talked about upstairs? And then I'm going to need you to lock in.

I kind of did the same kind of thing with the room. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good little data hack right there. It doesn't go perfectly, but at least you can look and say, hi, huddy, remember what we talked about upstairs? And it'll be like, and then. Hudson was in the train. I enjoy being around Hudson, bro.

It's like getting to be around a little boy. It was like I was having fun. And then, but they both want to press the elevator button when you go to the elevator. Going everywhere, where you're traveling around, she pushes the elevator. But now you got Hudson, who also another family, he doesn't charge of pressing the elevator button. So they're going toes and losing their shit. More so Rue if she can't touch the elevator button or Hudson beats her. And does, she's like, I'm going to push.

I'm going and Hudson runs and just touches it and then just looks at Rue and she just loses it. So I grabbed both of them. Hey, hey, hang on. They're both talking about who's going to touch the outside button? Who's going to touch the button once you get in the elevator? And as they're trying to figure out as they're going to go. Because we're like, all right, guys, when you press one button, the other, one of you press the other.

And Rue is I want to press the outside button. And Hussai, I want to press the outside button. And they're walking toward the elevator trying to figure out who's going to press what. And I stop him. Roo, Hudson, let's stop. Everybody's standing at the elevator. I'm like right there in the hallway. I'm like, hey, let's figure out and have a game plan.

Who's pushing what button before we get, before we get to the elevator? Who wants to push the outside button? And Rue's like, I want to push the inside button. Hudson's like, I'll push the outside button. I'm like, all right, here's what we're going to do. Hudson, you'll press the outside button. And Rue, once we step in, you're going to press L with the star. L with the star.

You're in charge of pushing that button. Teamwork makes the dream work. Let's go execute. We go. On two, on two. On two, on two. Rue pressed the outside, or Hudson press the outside button, and Rue approaches the inside button, it's perfection.

Then if they're arguing about who's going to press the inside button, because everybody wants to press the inside button, hey, here's what we're going to do. Roo, it's Hudd's turn to press the inside button. You're going to press two buttons. I'm going to need you to push the outside button, and then when we step in, Huddies going to press the number, the floor number,

and then you're going to press the door's closed button with the arrows going in. So once he hits three, you hit the door's closed button. And we'll execute this plane. So Rue's hitting the button twice. I'm like, all right, huddy, you hit three. And right when he hits three, I'm like, Roo, hurry up, push the closed door button.

Push the closed door. Doors close. You like, oh my God, you guys crushed it. You guys got us up to the third floor. Legendary. Calling it in like a huddle to and going outside down. Yeah. Inside L Star.

Yeah. On two, on two, on two. And closed door, a zip. Close door zip. On two, on two, ready break. And then if the door would start. to close before they can press the closed door button. I put my hand so it opens back.

I'm going to hurry up, hurry up, close the door button. It's going to get broken. Oh my God, you guys saved this. I fucking love that, dude. Huddle them up. Get the anticipation going. That's so much fun. Those are, like, memories that they will have once they get old enough is like the little

things, dude. Yeah. I hope so. Anyway, if not, I'm going to have videos to show and be like, hey, look at this video back when you guys were arguing. Oh, man. Yeah, your old man kind of corralled you guys up, huh? We'll get to do it with Scotty and Scarlett.

I mean, Scotty's what? Eight months older than Scarlett? Yeah. That'll be fun once they get old enough, man. Dude, that will be fun. That's a crazy thought in itself, is I see pictures of Scotty, and I do the math in my head, and I'm like, oh, man, that's crazy. Yes, dude.

It excites me. How old was she when I went over for the trailer? I don't know. Maybe four months, five months? What month was the trailer? What month was the trailer release? The chef wasn't with this. I wasn't here.

Fuck, dude. So let's just say three months ago. I don't know, two months ago. Three months ago. Yeah. We're on eight episodes. Three months maybe. I'm already thinking of like.

So Scotty was like five months old. Yeah. And how happy she was for feeds, how where she was for feeds, how where she was of diaper changes. Yeah. When they get aware of feeds, bro, and you kind of have the bottle at nighttime and you kind of hold it away from their mouth. Just see them go. and this move this move yeah yeah yeah yeah

where the fuck is it or when they're done with and they're just getting out of the mouth you're like do you sure you don't want more than it's awesome really quick dad hack when my hand goes on a doorknob I remind myself what did Jill ask me for

what'd she ask me to go get every single time your hand what do you do if you don't remember oh my god I'm sorry I'm sorry Hey you forgot to turn off the little bottle heater

that I shouted out a few weeks ago because after you pour it you got to hit the power button to turn it off and I just leave that thing running She's like hey power button's on again I don't have a dad hack just yet of when your hand hits that doorknob but you don't remember

I will come up with one because if you say to dad's out there when you touch the doorknob remember what your wife said. By wanting to be a learning father about this, how do you even remember? That's what I'm saying. And I'm talking about leaving the room

right after she just told you. I need bottle. Okay. I need... You're close. You're within 30 seconds. Okay. And just remind yourself.

It gets outside of three minutes. Oh, yeah. I'm going to need help. You're fucking cooked. I'm doing six trips for everything. Let's get to the lesson because I got to get home. Oh, okay. Really quick.

What do you have? Let me do. What are the odd shout-out Fandul? Okay, go ahead. What are the odds? Shout-out Fandul. We, do we have a sicko, an absolute sicko. His name is Mason Nessel Road.

Okay. Mason said, flooded the basement a little too hard while on Seaman Team 6. Got the positive pregnancy test six days before the weather. I thought he was talking about actually flood the basement. days before the wedding God I love Papa Team 6 I love this squad

skipped sperm team 6 straight to Papa Team 6 come this January let's go announce the bun in the oven at the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding he sent me a video I'll send you all this stuff we're crazy and we're waiting to find out the gender until birth but based off these last two sonograms

pretty sure it's a baby boy but he drew a little diesel piece on the sonogram. This guy's a sicko. A true PT6 sicko. Dude completed buds and didn't even mean the complete buds. And for new listeners, that is breeding until dad status. He was busting until dad status. He was busting until dad status.

And the what are the odds are, it is a 50% or 50, 50, odds, I guess, of if it's a boy or a girl. We won't know. They're going to find out when baby comes out. I think that's awesome. We got to have a follow up there. We do. But Mason,

thank you for riding in. That made me laugh really hard at like 3.30 a.m. Oh, that it's a good one. And he sent so many pictures, dude. Sent videos from the wedding. They had one of those cameras

that does the slow-mo 360. And it's just all of his boys with their asses out. On the 360 cam. It's a guy he's built for Papa 36. He's sick of. All right. So the lesson segment. This one's just going to be a simple quote.

Because again, I got to make it home for a bath time. Yep. And I'm probably missing some of bad time. I'm going to have to make it home for bedtime. So I told my wife's 7, 7.10. It is now 7. So it'll probably be like 7.15, 7.20 when I walk in that door. Okay.

I'm sorry. Yeah, we tried to keep it under an hour. Yeah, Jared just texted me and said that he's showing up to my house around 645-7 for dinner tonight. Oh, yeah, yeah. We'll get this quote out. It's 7 p.m. Because this is one I learned from a gentleman today. I was at a picnic for back to school.

Rue's going to school this month. Rue's going to school next month in August. Is it August? Either way. August. Yeah. Middle of August, like August 13th is Rue's first day of school.

Yes. Parents, I'm going to take it. My wife and I were going to take it way harder than Rue does because it's just buddy time is flying by. First day of school is going to go. Hard. Hard, bro. I'm talking.

hit the pose for that show me your most muscular but I was talking to this gentleman at this picnic while we're out in 95 degree heat trying to avoid small talk as dads tried to do when you're at these outings of course and I was talking to a gentleman and we were kind of talking about you know just being in the suck

like I was like dude I hear you I was trying to get Rue here and she wanted to go as a queen so she wanted to wear a two-two over her outfit we had her she wanted to wear a two-two she wanted to have the wand she wouldn't have the wing she wanted to have the crown and was losing her mind to where we're having a little bit of a tiff a little bit of a dust up at home mom goes out to car i just pick her up i'm like hey sweetheart Elsa, when she goes to outings as a queen or princess, like she's got to go talk to people and socialize and enjoy and have fun.

She's got to play and do things that she doesn't want to do. And she, you know, when she goes into her car seat, she can't wear wings because when you're in the car seat, you can't wear the wings. We got to get the wings off. But at this point, she doesn't want to get the wings off. We go to the picnic. We have a great time.

It's at a playground. They're playing. They're doing all this stuff. So I'm talking to this gentleman on the side. And we're kind of recapping these stories of being in the trenches. Okay. And he had me with a quote that I thought was a bar. I think his name is Josh.

Shout out Josh. Shout out Josh. And he said, when I'm in those moments, I try to do my best. What's going to be the best for them 30 years from now versus 30 seconds from now? On taking the extra moment, it's like whether they're in it and you're sitting there with them while they're crying, whether they're roos in a phase where it's like, I don't want you in the room, get out of the room. So I'm like, okay, I just let her know. I'm going to leave the room. Dad is going to be right outside with a calm voice.

Dad is going to be right outside if you need me. Just let me know if you need help. Because I love you. Yeah, because I love you. Whether you take a second to tell them a story about one of their favorite characters, just whenever you're in those moments and they're losing their shit versus like compliance, grab them, all the stuff. We have those moments.

It happens. But that quote, that bar of, I try to think about how I want them to be 30 years from now versus 30 seconds from now. It just reminds you to like just take those moments, have that calm voice, stay in it. Let them know, hey, if they don't want you around them right now, I'll be right outside if you don't need me. Whether you find a moment to be like, hey, Elsa, she goes to, parties too as the queen. And when she's the queen, she doesn't wear wings and she socialized if she doesn't want to socialize and they kind of stop crying and they're kind of like sitting there thinking, Elsa goes to picnics all the time. Anna literally said what is a ballroom with no balls?

Yeah. And there's another story out there where she gets really frustrated and doesn't want to go, just like you're being, it's okay to be frustrated. I can tell you're overwhelmed, I can tell you're frustrated, but let's just take a beat. Or if it's beyond that and you have a little dad Elthor, you get, you lose it for a second. Reminding yourself. to go back to the conversation later in the day. When they're cool, calm collected, whether it's at bedtime, you might just say, hey, remember, Daddy, hey, I'm sorry for getting mad at you earlier. You know why Dada got mad at you and they might just say, I was sad or I was frustrated. Yeah, and you know, when you get frustrated, it just, you know, domino effect. You talk to him about

the ripple effect and you kind of just give them a little lesson on how you would like their behavior to be when it's calm. Because when you get frustrated, then Mom might get frustrated. Dad, it gets frustrated. And I did a poor job of being frustrated back to you. I should have sat with you. empathize with you because I know it gets sad and frustrating at times and you get mad and you get overwhelmed but you got to know it's going to be all right and you got to know when that happens if dad can say something to you in the moment where we can remind and get back to even keel um that would be the what i've thought about since that gentleman josh gave me that quote earlier today at the picnic that's a bar that is a bar it's a bar it is like the even the little moments of

like you bring it up the monsters at the playground and stuff, like those old games and everything that are like the quick solves. Like that's obviously not going to affect her in 30 years. She's not going to be afraid of monsters. Right. But it's like doing things to try and change their frame of mind. Yes. And if you're beyond that, it's like, okay, you don't want to see Dadda right now. Sweetheart, hey, that is going to leave the room. I'll just be out here if you need me. Yeah. Or if you lose your shit on them, you come back around to it. But it's, yeah. It's a nice juggle, man. It's a fun. It's a fun little balance and challenge sometimes
