Cause at the end of the day... us dads have no idea what we're doing. Alongside Will is his producer Sherman Young, a recently new father who’s currently deep in the trenches of Fatherhood and loving every minute of it. Together, they’ll break down everything that can go right and wrong (...usually wrong) when you bring tiny humans into this world. Expect funny parenting stories, laughs, call-ins, advice, weekly themes, and the kind of conversations you’d have over a cold beer in the garage. Whether you’re raising teens or still Googling “how to install a car seat”, For the Dads is the ultimate podcast for dads who are in it, about to be in it, or just trying to do their best while screwing it up along the way. -----   FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram:   / Forthedadspod  Twitter:   / Forthedadspod Facebook:   / Forthedadspod TikTok: / Forthedadspod   LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS True Classic - Upgrade your wardrobe & save at www.trueclassic.com/forthedads  Liquid IV - Go to https://www.liquid-iv.com/ and get 20% off your first order with code Bussin at checkout. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is an IHeart 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. 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. Winning on Clay is an art. The rallies are relentless. And at the French Open, only the toughest survive. I'd know. I competed there for decades.

Join me, Renee Stubbs, on the Renee Stubbs' tennis podcast for no-nonsense breakdowns of the biggest matches, the toughest players, and the moments that define Roland Garris. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lerabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Listen to the Renee Stubb's tennis podcast on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHart Women's Sports. I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman. Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud. But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud

on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning, Papa Team 6. This is another episode of For the Dads. We're recording. It's Friday. October 17th, Huskers played tonight. So you see your boy Willie Crock

in the Huskers gear. Hopefully, by the time you hear my voice, we are six in one right now, continuing to put out fires with Matt Ruhle. Happy Spooktober. I hope you're trash. is taking out, you guys are just embracing the suck. We got some good hats. We got some merchandise, bwtb.com. That's where you can get all the PT6-Sicco merch. Come on. Hand up. What?

Lead from the front. Pop a team six here. What happened? I have failed to take out the trash two weeks in a row. Hey, hand up. You have a redemption arc. It is trash day on Fridays here at the office. and Derek brought up a great point that we could take the trash out today, you and me. Let's do it. We'll do it together. Now the trash for those wondering, the trash didn't still sit at the house,

got it out, whether it's a simple text I'm sending away. Yeah. When I see people and shout out Papa Team Sixers out there that do remind me, it is trash day. It is trash day. But man, I feel like just an absolute fraud when I think of putting out the trash tweet

and I'm thinking to myself, I didn't take out the fucking trash. We enjoy having some fun here. We have fun. We have fun. For the dads. This is for dads. We talk wins, losses, ups, downs.

You know, our lives with our wives, the kiddos, a lot of good stories. We have a lot of fun comments that we read that fans leave us at the PT sickos, the PT-Sixers, leave us on YouTube and social media. Continue to do so. We love seeing all the engagement. It is the utmost fun. It is. A lot of conversations. starters. A lot of conversation starters for this show. My wife was on my ass the other day. I had to

hit up the group chat because we are, if you are listening on Spotify, Apple, all the podcast platforms, we are on YouTube. Consider, please subscribe and follow all of our channels. You might think you are subscribed and you might not be just double check for your boys. It's all we ask. Everything is free. Trying to figure out how to get the Spotify video because Spotify video is partnering with Netflix. And so podcasts are about to be on Netflix. So we could, at the beginning of these episodes, start saying, make sure to check us out on Netflix.

And make sure to check us out. Could you imagine we're on Netflix? That'd be crazy. Hey, that's big time. Apparently it's a thing. It's going to become a thing. Like it's a Spotify video for podcasts are they are partnering with Netflix and those are going to become available on Netflix.

which is kind of crazy. Yeah. So make sure you check out Netflix. Make sure you check out Netflix. But yeah, my wife, she's a fan of listening to us on Spotify. Yeah. She is somebody who likes to scroll her podcasts and then also look at chapters. And I want to say the AI bullshit kind of was messing up the algorithm or messing up something with us last week to where we only had like five chapters out there.

And then auto generated. So I'm assuming it auto wrote out what the chapters were. It wasn't even close. So what's being talked about. She's thinking, all this could be a fun topic to hear them talk about. It's just us, you know, like farting in the microphone. I want to brag. I want to give flowers to Derek.

And we did so in our PT6 group message. But to all the listeners, both video and audio, last week on Spotify, 30 minutes of our two hour and 17 minute long episode got uploaded. Only 30 minutes? Only 30 minutes. And we're sitting there. We're going, what in the world? I text Derek at like 7.30-ish, whatever it was.

Hey, what's going on here? We had our back-in team, showboat, looking at everything. It was like something with the website. They had never seen that happen before. Like the audio file was totally normal that we uploaded. PT-6ers pissed that we actually kept it under an hour. The most comments we got just to bring it full circle were we actually don't want you guys to keep it under an hour. Like, what the hell is this situation?

But I think they're going to make a case study. No explanation. But shout out to everyone that's waited for it. And I'm excited for the show. It is fully updated. People sent us some DMs this morning saying it wasn't. If you click play on that episode, it will update to the two hour. Or hit us up on social.

I've been sending the link out and that link has been working. So last episode, apologies. We're improving every day. Derek owes no apology because of just how much on the front lines. if you guys go through the YouTube comments and the Spotify comments from last week's episode, Derek's in there,

replying to every single one. That fires me up. We're on it. Here's the link. This is how we fixed it. Make sure you refresh it. It actually does this. I'm watching them in real time.

I'm like, Derek is so on it. So that fires me up. Shout out Derek. Shout out Derek. Shout out the community too. I like to think more benefit of the doubt. Like everybody's optimistically

trying to work together, knowing that I know there's more meat on the, There's some messups here that is probably the system that's hurting our show right now. And they're just wanting to let us know. Not in like a, hey, did you have any negative comments? Not too many negative ones. A lot of people were, hey, I don't know if you guys saw or hey, just giving you an update. I love that.

Really the only negativity that came from it was people excited for the episode of like, man, my commute this morning sucked. And then after that, it got a good. You know how this whole. Commute sucked good. podcast. They only gave us 30 minutes of it. Even better. Good. You know how all this got caught, though?

Like how I got put onto it? Our equipment manager legend, Dalton Withrow, with a little DM to Old Shirmdog. I wake up and one of the first things I do is I see a DM from Dalton. I go, oh, more Arkansas gear? What's good? What's good, Dalton? Hey, Shirm, just want to let you know on Spotify and Apple podcast. It's only 30 minutes, but it's a full length on YouTube.

just wanted to make you aware of that. What a stud. Stud. That's teamwork, man. Truly. That's teamwork makes the dream work. PT6 came through a clutch. We have a new sponsor.

We have a new sponsor for Papa Team 6 now. Derek said it right before the show started, Ali Papa Team 6. We got Ali Pop as a sponsor, prebiotics. Listen, I'm not going to sit here and read the words on the can. I love. I love AliPop. It's good.

I'm a massive olipop fan. Grape is my favorite. If you followed me on... I've yet to have grape. If you have followed me on X, like, I want to say a couple months ago

right when the season started, you know how Papa Willie, Papa Seal, I like to, I've shouted out on this show. Dad's like to, when they get out of the house, they might do bedtime,

any, whatever it might be and they want to take a trip to the gas station. I just want to just take a drive, some quiet time, solo dad time, maybe listen to some classic rock, maybe finish up on a podcast.

I'm just going to get a little quick 15 minutes driving to the gas station driving home because my wife knows I enjoy a little gas station trip. Now they've, your wife, they're just so much smarter than you and they just outthink you to where now she just has my favorite drinks at the house

so I can't leave. Now you can't leave. Hey, you say you like the holly pop grape, got a 12-pack for you sitting at the house. Now you can't leave. That's the most Jill move I've ever heard of my wife. Oh my God.

I'm back sweet on. I'm going to hit the gas station. I'm going to go upstairs. That's when we haven't played. We haven't played a bunch of a while. But we caught a dub the last time we played. We did catch a dub the last time we played. But that was always kind of the formula.

The nights where it's like I'm going to be upstairs, get in some video game time with my boys, with my PT-6 or himself, Papa Sherm. And it was always that little gas station trip. But I would put out on Twitter like, you know, I did it a couple times, like my favorite drinks. and I was like one that is skyrocketing up the charts that I didn't come across until I was just bored one night.

Let me try some olipop great, buddy. Alipop great. He just loved the thought of will in a gas station. I'm one of those guys I know exactly what I'm getting at a gas station. I just love the idea of you in front of those glass doors. He's standing there. Same guy at the cast register. He already knows like it's always good vibes when I walk in.

good to see you again, big dog. And I'm saying then, I'm like, I'm going to switch it up tonight. Can I switch it? Just, hey, just go wide stance. Let me try that olipop. What did I say? Is that lollipop or holly pop? He grabs something.

Ah, puts it back. No, I'll go back with what I meant. Fine. All right. Then finally landed on grape, too. I love that you landed on grape. Yeah. What a flavor.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to try olipop grape now. Another sleeper. No, this isn't, it's not the vintage cola. Vintage cola is nice. Yeah. But the root beer. Ooh, I haven't had the root beer.

I've had this SpongeBob pineapple flavor and I've had the vintage cola flavor. Part of me, I like both. I haven't tried the SpongeBob Pineapple Paradise yet. Not a big pineapple guy. As far as love me some pineapple. love just like tasting pineapple but as far as like sodas and drinks I haven't been a big

pineapple guy so I'm kind of scared to try the SpongeBob one because the can looks phenomenal but I don't want to not like it and then it kind of turns me off of the can in the in the you know display it's sponge bottle To be completely honest

the fact or the thing that I like most about this pineapple flavor is it does not taste like pineapple flavored soda it's very juicy and like kind of healthy tasting. And that is not a plug to Olipop. Like that's just my straight up.

Look, no free shout us to Oli Pop. They are a sponsor of the show. They are a sponsor of the show. But I'm saying like, take that out of the equation. This is nice. Okay. Buddy. Ali Pop grape. I got it. We got to get. I digress.

Hey, Oli Pop, if you're listening. Get cream soda. Are you, they got a cream soda? Oh, dude. Delightful. Okay, really quick, because we got to keep under an hour. Growing up with your grandpa had that cream soda at the house, bro. Get you one of them for a quarter.

Jill, how I got introduced to Olipop is Jill would get the cream soda flavor, and then she would get heavy cream and keep it in the fridge and, like, get it really cold, and she would put it in the Olipop cream soda. She would just do like a little dash of heavy cream and then whip it. It's like a milkshake, dude. And you're on to something with that. That to me, it's like your wife Jill, she knows what she likes.

Yeah. And she knows how to combine things to get her taste buds firing on all cylinders. And she's not backing down. She's not back and down because she's trying to, she's doing like... Something about looking at that heavy cream and thinking, this is going to go really well

with this cream soda olipop. Because she's trying to cut ice cream. out of the equation and she's like what is a sweet treat that also like I won't feel guilty about that I can have like around nighttime et cetera. Just a little dash

of that. Just something. Dude, I would take sips of it and it truly was like a little milkshake. It was. I feel like that's an old Southern trick. Am I wrong on that or is this a invention? I feel like I've heard that. Maybe I'm thinking of like a root beer float. Oh, maybe.

Something like that. Out of ice cream with it. Yeah. Oh, dude. That could be a Southern trick. It sounds like a Southern Trin. It sounds like... It sounds like...

It's got... That's got... The South. That's got Texas written all over. Oh, yeah. Dude. It's good. It's good.

So shout out Ollipop. Shout out Ollypop. Our new sponsor. We spent a lot of time on a big Olipop fans, but now they are a sponsor of the show. They are. It has to get your piss hot. That gets your piss hot.

The guy of the gentleman that reached out to me about connecting with the Olipop and I was fired up jumping off the screen. back in email form. He hits back. He's a Nebraska cat. That's right. Yeah. He's like, hey, GBR, I'm fired up or working something out here because I'm an Omaha boy.

And he said all that, say, so have you been here? Yeah. Yeah. It's bullshit. Yeah. Coach Rule ain't going nowhere. He ain't going nowhere. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called

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

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, 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. The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself.

I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the René Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchian win. I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lennar Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now,

and I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Jacob Kingston grew up in an isolated polygamous sect. We were God's chosen kingdom on earth. He felt destined for greatness.

So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets. meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levan this went to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds,

just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my. my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

You want to do comments? Should we get into comments? I'm ready. We have some comments broken down. I know last week, Derek does an incredible job of handing us a stack of comments every week. Last week, I pretty much read all of them, forgetting that, hey, I can select a few of these.

And, you know, I don't know how everybody else feels in the audience and the fans, how often we read and how many of the fan comments and engagement. it's like, dude, look at, look at Sherm. He's got a little fan over there. We got a bunch of comments. We've kind of broken some up. So I have one to give you an example. We got Dad Hack.

And then there are a couple emails. People are starting to send in a lot more to the emails. What's the email they can write to, Shirm? Or, sorry, 601 the Dads at Gmail.com. 601 the dads at Gmail.com. We are now taking those emails, the ones that might be longer, that have some storytelling, that have some questions on a subject,

they might want us to hit who take their time to write us an email. We're going to take those email ones and funnel it behind the 601 dads, the hotline that people call into for the voicemail. So we're going to save some of the longer ones that we've read in the past. Those will now be behind 601. The dad's the hotline that you can call into. So more of a four of the dad's hotline and email that we're going to hit. Have a little bit more fun with the top with the comments you guys write to us on social

media and YouTube. And then if you have like hacks, wins, losses that we can share in some of those segments that we might talk about. We're doing a better job of tightening up the ship here at the For the Dad's brand. But yeah, let's get to, let's have some fun. Let's answer some fan questions, some comments that have been out there. The first one I got

is from Matt West 9421. This is on YouTube. What's up, Sherman, Willie One Shelf? I love the pot. I've been watching since episode one. I have a question for y'all. When did you guys know your wife was the one? And did you guys ask the parents first? Keep the grind going. Hashtag

Seaman out. Great question. Oh, let me continue to say how good of a question that was so I can think about this answer. I can jump in really quick. I got a fun story. Okay, you go ahead. This is a how I met my wife's story. Settle in, kids.

So I want to say, and listen, sweetheart, I know you're listening right now. You probably got a smile on your face feeling, oh, what's old Willie One Shelf going to say during this story? going crazy in your tummy. Yeah. But let me take you back to October. Again, sweetheart, bear with me. I could get some dates wrong here. October 2014.

Ooh. We were at Dallas. Maybe it was November. Again, 2014. We were at Dallas. Yeah. Primetime game. My wife was a cheerleader on the Washington Redskins.

When there's an awake. game that happens, a few cheerleaders get to travel. They like send a few cheerleaders. They get to travel, but they're not in uniform or nothing else. They were in some yellow. They were in some yellow shirts. Oh, that's sick. And they're like in the friends and family section? Yeah, they're like on the game, they're like on the field pregame and stuff like that. As I'm giving you context after the fact of knowing this. Yeah, yeah. But I'm on the field pregame Willie at Dallas and we're doing pregame warmups and everything else. And I see these three, I see these three ladies standing on the sideline.

And, you know, I'm a looking. And you know, one catches my eye. Oops. And I did not know, you know, I got the helmet on. I see one looking at me. And I don't know if she's actually looking at me or not. So I'm kind of looking, you know, I'm trying to like do whatever pregame, warm up, everything. Get ready for the Dallas Cowboys.

And so I'm thinking, like, when I run by her to go back in the huddle, I'm going to take a look. and see if she's looking at me. Sure enough, I run back to the tunnel, catch her staring at me. And it's just, it's one of the, it's one of those moments as a young man where you're just like, and mind you, I did have a girlfriend at the time. But I'm, you know what? I'm married. I got two kids now with her.

Sue me. Yeah, sue me. And it's like one of those times where you're just thinking like, man, that girl was a smoke show. And it's like you fantasize, like, what would life be like with that in the same? individual. All the men know what I'm talking about and you just play this game in your head. That's all that happened that night on Washington at Dallas back in 2014. Fast forward the next year, it's the off season. Alfred Morris is having a kids charity football camp. Shout out Alfred. Shout out Alfred Morris for like kids with special needs. And I'm running one of these drills for him.

I'm running one of the periods for him. This cheerleader, who I still did not know it at the time, was that one. Uh-oh. Was at the camp with her boyfriend. Oh, really? Yeah. And Charo is with her boyfriend at the time. And they are...

Was he 5-2, 5-3? I kind of don't remember. Charles had these... She had these shorts on. She had the little high ponytail going on. She had to cad, the legs looking athletic, you know, I'm kind of looking. And they're part of my drill, like, as I'm running this four, this like four cone drill. And so there's a pizza, there's a pizza lunch break.

And I see her and she's got this Pro Bowl hat on. Again, that was, this was the, oh, listen, your boy has zero game. And so I see her during this peach of lunch break and she's kind of walking kind of close by me. And I'm like, oh, I see you got a Pro Bowl hat on. Where did you get the Pro Bowl hat? And her smart ass like she is, she said, I got it at the Pro Bowl. I was like, all right, yeah. Did you like go to the game?

And she goes, I was in the Pro Bowl. Like I'm a cheerleader for Washington. I was like, oh, sick. I kind of don't remember the rest. That honestly might have been it because I just don't have a whole lot of game. And I'm thinking her boyfriend's there. Like, I'm kind of hung over. Did you tell her you kind of got cheated out of the Pro Bowl that one year?

No, no. I wasn't in that kind of form around to the public or anything else. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And, but anyway, so I meet her at this charity camp. I wake up the next morning to a DM on Instagram. And it's her DM and me, like saying like, hey, it was nice to meet you yesterday. I see that you have a girlfriend. I have a boyfriend, but that doesn't mean we still can't be friends.

Damn. Yeah. Tar. So we start messaging back and forth and, man, I wish I still had them. I don't, but I come to the real. We find the realization. I want to say she might have mentioned something about the Dallas game the year before, and I come to the fucking realization that she was the girl I was looking at and fantasizing about all.

the field. And I love, you know that he was in his fields because this guy is a sicko before he watches a football game on TV. So I can only imagine what your mind is like before a football game, how black your heart has turned to prepare for this football game. And then you see this smoke and you're like, yo, damn, what would life kind of be like? Yeah, bro. And then even though she said that and that kind of means one thing to a guy.

when that's being said to you in a DM is like that doesn't mean we still can't be friends. She never hung out with me for like the next eight, nine months. Like I'm trying. We're having, we're having conversations. She's making me laugh.

She was one of those girls where I would, I'm like sitting in the parking lot before I go into my apartment. I'm like spending 45 extra minutes just sitting out there messaging back and forth they're not wanting to go inside. Yeah, yeah.

Because I'm enjoying the conversation we're having. Like we're sending each other songs, like jokes, like all the different things. we eventually see each other, we eventually hang out, we eventually start dating, now we're married with two kids. Let's go. And I say all that to know, it's hard for me to like pinpoint a moment where I'm like, this is my wife because I will tell you, I feel like that thought continues to ascend like as I see or as

my wife and a mom. Yes. Like the love gets that much stronger when you witness them being a mom, when you witness them being like your partner. There's so many times where I'll just be driving home thinking like whenever we like solve a problem or she has my back with something or one of us is stressed and we're helping each other out to where when I do reflect and have that gratitude, I'm thinking it gets so much more badass when you are married and you have kids and you are being partners and you're being

good partners and you both carry about each other so much so much. Like the way Charles thinks about everything in my world and she's just a badass. Like it's a love like she there's nobody else who's loved me the way charl has loved me that's opened me up to like more love and more ideas and everything else. Like I'm a homebody. I hate vacations. And if I think of a core value of Charo, it is adventurous. She loves, again, we'll get to it. She's going to London all next week.

It's sad. She's taking Rove with her. No. Yeah, so it's just going to be me with Scotty, the easiest kid. We're going to have a lot of free time. Okay. But she's going to London next week. She was wanting to go in the summertime.

We couldn't make it happen. We're going to a Dermott Kennedy concert here on Sunday. Like she loves doing stuff that she's really pulled me out of my comfort zone. She's like introduced me to things that I didn't think that I would be doing like as an adult. She's a very ambitious like working career-oriented woman. I didn't think that I would marry, you know, doing all the things that I was doing. I thought I would have more of like a stay-at-home mom, stay-at-home mom, say to her wife. I'm not saying that's good, bad, and different. I'm just thinking, like,

how I grew up thinking about everything. Yes. She's very different than what I had imagined. And so I can't pinpoint an exact moment because we had a lot of fun when we were younger. And that is a moment that sticks out. It's like, yo, that was the chick that I was so just laser, you know what I'm like. We used to talk about the pep rally last week. And I was like, yo, this woman is stunning. And it turns out. the way the universe worked to like bring her back around for that day at that uh at that charity camp and then to have the DM and then to find out that she that that was the girl oh i the only thing selfishly that i wish is that you had deb one of those hey buddy think fast and just

throw a football at her uh boyfriend that she was there at the camp with and he just boom off of his face he's like hey right here buddy yeah you got to use your hands and then just snatch one out of They are one-handed. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.

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

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

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset and what it really takes to win on clay. Jenchian win. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French, me. And she likes to. Listen, Lerabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface.

Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Jacob Kingston grew up in an isolated polygamous sect. We were God's chosen kingdom on earth. He felt destined. for greatness.

So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levant this went to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their emerald? Empire survive.

The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Will, if I can ask, as a guy that just genuinely doesn't know, is there no relationship between players and cheerleaders?

Like how you went a year without knowing. A big reason she wouldn't like hang out with me is because she was still on the cheerleading team. And that was like a massive no-no for cheerleaders and players. It's kind of a, what do they call it? It's like an unwritten rule, but it's like a double standard. Like the cheerleaders were, it was like hard press. They couldn't talk to full players before. We're never told to like, hey, you can't do anything with cheerleaders or you can't date cheerleaders or anything like that.

Yeah. So that was a reason why like the first time we did hang out is very sneaky. he was very under under the wraps she was very like weary because she was like a captain of the cheerleading squad and she took it she was that was when she was a tax accountant

for what is it PBC or PNC PNC one of the big ones yeah she was also a cheerleader so yeah she was crushing it I didn't know she was a captain as well yeah yeah man that really I love that

yeah a captain Willie C hanging out of with the cheer captain. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go. I'm thinking so many things in my head. That 12 year old at the pepper.

And just trying to answer my man's question too. It's hard to like knowing. It was more of like she just would make me uncomfortable in a way to where I would just always have a different perspective about how life was going towards like I'm adjusting on the fly in the discomfort. And to me that's when I kind of identify like this is the one I want to be with forever. I love your decision. of how she made you feel because that you're quite literally describing exactly how Jill

made me feel. And I don't say that just to agree with you. It was the exact same thing. Like I had never encountered a relationship. I had never had a relationship where I was being challenged, but in a good way. Yeah. Yeah. Well said. Yes. It didn't feel like she was ever coming down on me or anything like that. But it was like a, wait, you don't, it's a Saturday. You don't want to go on a hike and then we can, you know, do this. And there's this art exhibit that I really want to go check out. I'm like, I don't want to do that shit. And then I'm doing that shit.

And I'm like, man, this is a lot of fun. I want to keep on doing this shit. And you're talking about the hikes, too. Like, Charles, I want to do hikes. I'm just thinking, like, bro, my legs. Like, I'm just, I play football. Like, I don't want to do any extra exercise than what I already have to do. Yeah.

But you're right. Like, the whole challenging thing. Yeah. Is what, it was like a slow process. and then you just realize how good it is for you and how happy they make you to where that's when it's kind of like that's the formulated moment, I guess.

Yeah. I, with Jill, to answer this question, Jill and I met on a blind date. Her cousin was dating my roommate. They would both tell you this. Their relationship was coming to an end very fast. And her cousin had tried to set us up multiple times and she was like,

Sherman, I'm about to break up with your roommate. So if you want to meet my cousin, like, we need to make this happen ASAP. And I was trying to play it cool. Like, I had seen pictures of Jill on Instagram that her cousin had shown me. I was like, oh, yeah, she's cute. Like, yeah, we should do something. And then finally, I was like, yeah, no, we need to do that double date. Yeah, buddy.

And I ran out of contacts that week. And I showed up to Wabi House in Fort Worth. Shout out, no free shout out. And I saw Jilly Bean across. room and I said, fuck, I look like an idiot in my glasses. And I took my glasses off instantly and I put them on the back of my shirt because I was like, this girl is way cuter than. Then even her pictures lost my glasses that night.

Off to a hot start. But on that night, I had never kissed a girl on a first date. And we kissed on a first day. And it was kind of funny that like, It was a blind slash double date and her cousin and my roommate were just like chomping at the bit to break up with each other like that whole week. And they're like arguing on their side of the booth. It made Jill and I lock in like that much more. And we had a great first date.

But I do remember telling my mom after the first date, I said, I think I might be in trouble. I'm like, I'm feeling it with this girl. But the moment that I knew like, okay, I want Jill to be. my girlfriend, or I guess like, yo, I, like this might be something more, was we went to a Rangers game together. And the very first thing that she wanted to do is she wanted to go get a hot dog and beer. And when we were ordering, she goes, is it, is it bad or like, is it okay if I get two hot dogs instead of just one hot dog? And I was like, yeah, you can definitely get two hot dogs. And she so fast turned and goes, I'll do a McLeod and two hot dogs.

to the person and just seeing her with like the little ketchup and mustard and the hot dogs and like the beer and just her not worried about like I need to look cute on this date but more so just enjoying the moment and like what I love about baseball games is hot dogs and beer and I'm getting to enjoy this. I just love that quality about her. I was like she's so unabashedly herself. And that just opened up to her. I was coming out of two different relationships that in college were like on and off,

on and off type stuff that I never felt confident in, if that makes sense. Like I kind of left those relationships going like, who am I as a boyfriend? Like, am I a good boyfriend? Do I have no clue? Like these women, like really like taming these men, it's like taming a wild horse. Yeah. It's like taming a wild horse, bro. And then Jill kind of showing me like, hey,

you, yeah, you definitely suck. Like, truly. Like, hey, yeah, you definitely suck in these areas, but like. And as men, you don't know it. No. Like, I remember when I didn't get Charles something on, like, Valentine's Day, because it wasn't like, maybe it was more of like the defining the relationship-style thing. And I just remember her having some, like, thoughts about it.

And that's when you know, too, as a guy, like, when your girlfriend is upset over something and it bothers you, even though you might be upset with them in that moment, but when you walk away and you're actually kind of like, I should have done X, Y, and Z, versus like when you know that there's no future with the girl, you're almost just staying mad about it. Like, God, this is fucking, I'm going to have to deal with this, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Then you find yourself kind of beating yourself up about it.

Like, all right, I got to, I do have to kind of figure out a way to come around to whatever said thing is. Like, the first time I went out and stayed with, like, stayed overnight with Charo. super nervous, like awkward. And you know how it is too. Like when you like, when you stay with a girl or you do like, they stay over at your place or something like that and you kind of wake up the next morning, you're kind of like, I need to get out of here or they kind of need to get out of here. But I was going out to spend the weekend or a day with her in D.C. like around her friends. And I remember when I first went over to her house and again, your boy, no game, super nervous. We're in the kitchen like making up a game. She like, we like made, go ahead. Pre host veneers? No, this is pre-host veneers. No, this is pre-re. veneers. I didn't give veneers until I was in until I was in Tennessee in 2018. So I had the, this is the old

Willie chicklets, thick neck. Come on. Small teeth, looking like a zone dog through my mouth that Charles got to know. 2016 10th hottest player in the NFL mind. Yes, sir. Mind you. Yeah. Don't show them teeth all right. Show the teeth. Oh shit.

But we like made up some game in the kitchen and we're like throwing bottle calves, like basically playing washers, but with like grocery bags and a bottle cap, like having a good time. We go out that night, have a lot of fun with her friends. She gets me dancing. I'm not a big dancing guy or PDA guy, but I'm sitting there. I'm belly rolling. I'm fucking, you know, it was kind of, I was liquored up pretty good. You come back home and you're eating like, you're like eating. I was like house and some Oreos late in night. Kind of wake up the next morning. She had to like go, she had to go do something

for bar three. She was managing a studio out there at the time of D.C. And then that's where I kind of slip in. When she leaves and walks at the door, where I'm kind of like leaning out of the bed, kind of like, wait a minute, and then I go hit the bathroom and just drop a monster. You know what I mean? Because you're nervous. You're like, I got to fucking do something here,

but I can't do it in this apartment right now, which I got to wait until she leaves. But it wasn't awkward the next morning, like the next day. Yeah, yeah. Any of that stuff to where she came back, we're watching Deadpool together on the couch ordering Chinese food. So you kind of know that something's there,

like when you're talking to the parents about it, when you're talking to your boys about it and everything else. But it gets even better, in my opinion, like when you do get married and you have kids and you're in an actual partnership worrying about everything else. And don't get me wrong. I still get fucking annoyed when I am getting challenged at certain times or getting uncomfortable to do things to where I'm just like, sweetheart, come on. We can't just kick it at the house? Yes. Like, why don't you go, you go do you guys go have a great time.

I hope you have the greatest time in the world. I kind of want to just stay home. The Huskers are on about 30 minutes. We've spent a lot of time on this. Yes, I did ask her. I called her dad and asked him first before I propose. Yes. And I took her mom.

She has a stepdad. But I took her mom and her stepdad to dinner. And I asked her permission. Uncle Julios. In Fort Worth. I love Uncle Julios, bro. That table site guac. It's so good.

So in the pineapple and Alabanias? I got a whole thing. Keep the show under an hour. But they're not doing the yellow casso anymore at the Nashville location here. And it's just a whole thing. Heart's broken, honestly. Like, I've been wanting to tweet about it a lot. But I love Uncle Julios too much,

so I've kept my mouth shut. No more Koso? No more yellow Koso. They're only doing Koso Blanco. And no offense to Koso Blanco, but the yellow Kosovo, Uncle Julios is what put you on the map? Sorry, you go ahead. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what?

We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.

Your volume of eating, by the way, I enjoy it. Like, you make some noise when you eat, especially when you're hungry. And, bro, I'm just laughing, just hearing that fork and the plate and your bites and stuff. And Ruth's just blankly.

She's thinking about what else she can do. Because we might make, like Scotty might be doing like, you know, she might be doing a thing where we're laughing. We think it's cute and adorable. And then Roos tries to play with. Scotty. And in my brain, I'm thinking, she's just playing with Scottie right now to put off the fact that she doesn't have to eat her food. Then mom and I are both done. Scotty's done. She's starting to, you know, hit the thing, knock food off. She's getting the sweet potatoes

off of the thing. Like, Scotty, we can't get out. Roo's got to eat her chicken. Drew, you got to eat your chicken. I don't want to. Okay, well, let's get up. Let's go, let's go to bed. I don't want to go to bed. Eat your chicken. Dad, Dad doesn't love me. I guess. I got one from Cody Wilkerson on TikTok. Boys, I'm in the middle of chaos. My wife and I are both middle school teachers in Alabama.

She's at a conference for until Saturday. I'm holding down the fort with my two boys, ages two and four, until then. While I was at work today, got the call from the daycare that the youngest has handfoot mouth. I'm supposed to coach the oldest in his soccer game. game tomorrow night. My wife called and asked, hey, how's everything going? And I hit her with a good hand foot mouth. We just got over, we just got over that with both the kiddos. Yeah, Cody, best of luck to you, dude. Just keep on washing those hands, dude. Yeah, keep washing the hands. Keep being sad when you just see the bumps that they get. It's just the saddest thing in the

world. And they can't eat right? Like it hurts their mouths, right? Fortunately, yeah, that's how it was with Scotty. Fortunately for Rue, like it was more of just She had like the bumps, the rash stuff like on her feet and hands and her butt. That bothered her. The stuff on the butt bothered her. It was in the crease. It was in the crease right below her cheek to where it bothered her in the bathroom. And that sucked because she was like sad because it was painful for it.

But she didn't have a fever. She didn't have the sores in the mouth. She wasn't getting like those symptoms to where it was, it was like you felt like you had to keep her from doing everything. Yeah, yeah. Because she was like actually sick. Scotty was. She had the sores in the mouth. wouldn't really drink her milk.

She had to drink like cold milk if she was going to have her milk. Which kids, hey, I found that out the hard way when Jill was out of town. Cold milk? Yeah, just let the milk sit there for too long. And Scarlett's crying and crying as soon as like she takes like two pools from it. She just, I'm like, this is your favorite thing in the world. I know you're starving. Like, why are you screaming?

And then it finally clicked after like the eighth time. him. Yeah. Heeded that bottle up. And after I, and she's screaming the whole time that I'm heating the bottle up. She's just sitting there in my ear. And I'm like, I know. I know. As soon as I got that hot bottle in. Yeah. I tell you what. You hit a good one. Like I want to say, Roo, it needed to be. It needed to be hot. And I want to say Scotty at times, we'll take it when it's cooled down. Like some of them kids are just sickos, bro. They don't care how. They just want it. We've done cold milk. Don't me one.

Easy. We've done cold milk before, like at the park, we took Scarlet to the park and we forgot our the portable heater. And so we just did it straight from a, you know, distilled water bottle or whatever. And she yugged it. She had no problem. Which is a massive wind. Yeah.

I'm good on my comments. You're good on your comments? I have one more. Boys, PT-6er in Tier 1, Sicko, Father, three boys, 12, 13 months, and seven months. Also, flag football coach of the Red Wolves for the past few years. Love it. Had to share a juiced up moment. We're up 12-6, nearing the end of the game.

They go for one, watch a kid Moss, my boy, and they take a one-point lead with little time left. defense holds and with proper clock management we got one more shot first play small gain second small gain now with seconds left and only one play to go to the fucking house for the win can't stop watching the clip and i'm so amped for the rest of the season let's go big win at the end of the game watching your boy get bossed that's tough for the for the pop Yeah. Tough for the pop. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Oh, I do. That is tough for the pop. Yeah. I don't know how I would handle that as far as with Scarlet. And I've talked with Jill about that of like sporting events. I kind of understand now why sometimes my dad would like watch my sporting events from the car. I think it was nerves for him.

And to me, I always thought, why is my dad not in the stands for these track meets? It's like he goes and he gets in the car and like, I wish he was in the stands. And now me as a parent, I'm like imagining myself watching Scarlett. And I'm like, I get why dad was in the car. He was nervous, a little nervous. Yeah. You feel like he would have been somebody that's got to be yelling? My dad.

So he just puts himself in the car? I think he was one of those that he had nervous energy and didn't want to give that off to me. Especially for track me. I think he was just trying to be like, hey, Sherman does a really good job of saying positive and clear mind. Like, track was a sport that like I excelled at. And I think that he... We're talking shot put. By now.

Now. Hey, we talk in, uh, what were you on the training stuff? You talking about track and field? We talk a shot put on there. You put an ice yacht on people? What are we doing? But he was just like, what was your, What were your events?

800, four by four and 400. Oh, dude, that's a tough day. It was a tough day. Yeah, it was a tough day.

But back in the day, what was your 400 and 800? 800 was not my race. I think I only broke, or I got very close to like a minute flat. You mean on the, you're talking to the 400? Minute five,

800, we're talking two minutes. got close to two minutes. Sorry to two minutes. Okay. Sorry. I got very close to two minutes because I would go out and the 800 and run my first leg like a 56 and then I would kind of die out. So you were a stud at the 400. Oh yeah. I was more of a 400 runner. 52. That's a strong. That's a strong time. Yeah, yeah. For a 5-7 white boy. Yeah, 5-7 white boy. Come on now. Yeah, yeah. Back in the day. Back in the day. But yeah, my dad, he would always, well, and he would, sorry. to my dad. He would be in the stance too. But I could just tell

on some of those days, he talked, you've met my dad. He talks a lot, very friendly, very open. Is he in town? He's in town. They're coming today. I can't wait to hug him. Yeah, they're coming today. They're very excited to see you. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, he would clam up. He'd clam up and track me

so you get real, get like this. That's good. He wanted it. Any sports competition. My dad was there. If I had a bad game, I'd see my dad, like pacing on the sidelines I'd come over and go where's dad he goes she's in the car sorry dad I'm totally out yeah but it was

also he'd go to the car if you're having a bad game really I mean this is like no and he was never mean he never yelled or anything but he couldn't he's probably listening just so pissed now like yeah now that I think about it he did he's go to the car if I'm having a bad game I kind of when I needed

him the most he kind of he shilled up and went to the car I thought I'm thinking about it. I didn't talk to you guys about it. I want to share this. Hey, I know on a real sense though, I think I know where your dad's coming from

that he didn't want you to see that he was crushed for you. Yeah. 100%. I feel like it was never. No, I never got the like, I never got the like getting yelled at in the car going out. We love you,

Papa. We love you. Quiet right. How did you feel about that game? Yeah. They're like, I don't think I play that good. It's all right.

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 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 Jones? 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. The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. And I know firsthand because I competed there myself.

I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Gentian win. I mean, she went down in three. to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me.

And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We've got to move on because I have to read this comment.

I have to read this comment. It's teasing something big. Okay. I just farted when I said teasing. That's how big it is. Connor Wanderly on YouTube said PT-6 are here, new to the area. Wife is asking for the best pumpkin patch slash ball festival place to take her and our eight-month-old any wrecks in the Nashville Franklin area. Willie Winschelf, would you like to take this question?

Boo at the zoo. Boo at the zoo. What is that? That's where you're leading me, right? Yes, sir. What is Bo at the Zoo? Boo at the Zoo, our first PT6 meetup. Papa Team 6 meetup for For the Dads.

It'll be at Boo at the Zoo here in Nashville on October 28th. Ooh. At 5.30 p.m. From 5.30 to 7. For the dads. The PT-6 is right here. Derek, Chef, your boys, Bad Stafford, really one show.

we'll be at boo at the zoo. We're bringing the kids. Bringing the kiddos. The families will be there. First, Papa Team 6 meetup. You might be thinking what to expect. I personally don't know. Because part of me is like, you know, this isn't going to be like a, like what?

Like a, like a meet and greet. Yeah, not so much a meeting and greet. We might bring like the meetings of the minds, meeting of the PT-Sixers. Here's what the vibe is going to be. Here's what it has to be. Because we got the kids there. Rue's going to wear her fairy costume Yeah

She's going to dress She's going to wear She's going to be in a stume Yeah We might We might as well I might be in a stume Well we're there

To have good family time At the zoo Yeah Whether we do it with a crew Or we all meet up at first Say a few words Some daps Maybe some quick selfies

But the thing it can't turn into Is a full on Like a meet and greet type of thing While our wives and kids Are just the dads Are talking shop talking stories And we just some dads.

Yeah, we just some dads. We're going to have the same anxiety. Like, I know my wife's like, hey, so what are we doing here? Is this just a photo shoot? Or we're going to have some fun at the zoo with the kiddos with the family? We going to the giraffes or what? Yeah. Yeah, Roo wants to see the Lions.

A Willie one pick, maybe two. And that's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I will say the Nashville Zoo has done a really good job with the zoo. It's decked to the Nautil. with pumpkins, skeletons, all kind of spooky stuff. They encourage Halloween outfits. You do have to buy a ticket.

Those are available at Nashville Zoo.org. That's Nashville Zoo.org. There are a thousand tickets available for this event. That's outside of the PT6 meetup. That's just in general. For the 530 slot, there are a thousand tickets. So PT sickos in the area, make sure to go to Nashville.org and get your tickies. Get your tickies.

What I'm envisioning is we all get there to around 530, might give it to 545, 545, to where you'll see where we are. We'll have a little table. Will there be merch? Yes, there will be merch. And we're looking to have a little game of what is it called, scavenger hunt. We're going to hide some little things throughout.

And we'll put out a social media promo, but we're going to hide some little things in the park that if Papa or Mama Team 6 find these little tokens and bring it back to the Papa Team 6 table, they will get a free merch and a king-sized candy bar. PT6 Nation, sorry for the interruption. This is your producer, Jack, coming in here. As I'm adding the episode,

we have some changes to the boo at the zoo that I want to make aware to all of you. We will not have a table. I'm so sorry. Don't blame me. Will and Sherm like to run their mouths about stuff they don't know. But that's okay. We will not have a table.

And then also scavenger hunt wise. Sherm. Sherman. Sherman. I'm talking to PT6 Nation right now. Are we going to have a scavenger hunt? Oh, yes. We're going to have a scavenger hunt.

Oh, we're not having a scaven. We're not. See, Shirm and Will love to run their mouth. they don't know what they're talking about. We aren't having a scounder. We are? No, aren't. We aren't.

Okay. Is that correct? Dude, I have no clue. I think that's it. That we are not having a scapenter. I don't think we are either. And it's the first 20 people that show up get, we're handing out hats and shirts. Ah.

First 20, you hear that PT6 Nation? First 20 people who show up will get a shirt. also or hat or hat whatever you like but yes that's all back to your regularly scheduled programming king size only the king size candy bar oh buddy one thing i'll say is probably reshape the brain you're right it's not a meet and greet this is a a group dad brownie point event we are setting something up so you can come you can meet willie and shirm but you are your honey we're going to boot you always want to go to booth the zoo we're going to boo at the zoo we're going to boo at the zoo we're going to boo at the zoo we're going to Brownie Point meetup.

And in between that 535-45, when we're all there, like, at the table, I think the best thing would just be get a group, get a squad photo. Yeah. Of the Pt-Sixers. Oh, that would be sick. And we just do a, we just do a big group photo. Yeah. From that group photo, you can get merch.

You can go on the scavenger hunt, find tokens if you want to. Just enjoy the evening at the zoo. Yes. And we'll see each other. PT6. Hey, and the goal is wife goes, hey, isn't that the two assholes that you listen to on YouTube over there, sitting over there?

And you go, oh, yeah, that's weird. They're here too. I don't even know they're going to be. That's so weird. Hey, you can't. I don't think you can say that about the milk team sixers, bro. Oh, me. True.

I think milk team sixers are bought in. They are bought in. They are bought in. That was a low blow. Like, you can see, like, whenever people talk about for the dads, like, I'll get dads that come up to me, families that'll come up and say the wife might be like, my husband, he loves listening to you on For the Dads.

And as he's sitting there, he's like, we watch you every week and seven. You just kind of see that little smile from the mom, you know what I mean? Oh, for sure. Like Dad loves watching them, Mom. Come on now. Hey, for sure. Hey. You'll buy that Milt Team Six sure, yeah? And the pictures that I get of, I love the DMs from Mama Team Six of their husband on the couch,

you know, with baby. And they're watching. They're all watching together. Yeah, dude. They are the best. Yeah, Mom and Team. That was a low blow, and I do apologize to Mom and Team Six. Yeah.

There probably ain't many out there, but those are the two assholes you listen to. But that was, we giggled. We did giggle. We did giggle. It was... We just have fun on this show. The only type of moments I would envision is if, like, say you're new listening to the show, and let's say it was last week's episode or the week before that.

And the first thing that's getting said, Papa Team Six, oh, hope your belly's full and your balls are empty. And then the wife's like, this is what you've been hearing about? this is your exemplary Exemplate You got it You got it, Jeff I can't say the word

I'm getting blanked But I was going to imitate And go, this is your father podcast He listened to about being a good dad These guys These these two cats This dude calls himself

The captain of seaman team What is this? They just read the definition of boofing off Urban Dictionary. Oh, and now and here's a dad hack. Make sure you love your daughter.

Oh, here's your survival kit. Make sure you have an extra passy. Oh. Let's get into some dad talk. Let's get into some dad talk. I've been going through a few different things. We'll go through again, wins, the losses, what will crack a cold one, two,

some survival kit, dad hack, some things that I've been experiencing over the last, over the last week or so. We have our Halloween costumes. dialed in. I'm jealous. I need to. I was hoping that we could be like a Star Wars crew.

Like Rue could be Ray Skywalker. We found this, I found this like dress. Why am I blinking? Jedi robe. Jedi robe. There is. This like robe that was like a dress Jedi for Ray Skywalker to where she's got like the bubble. The triple pony, the little bubble pony tail going on.

Rue loves the bubble pony. Like, yo, if she rips Ray Skywalker, I'm looking into full-on Darth Vader costumes. You would be a great Vader. We could put Scotty. We could put Charo, beautiful hair. We'll get her as, why am I drawn a blank? That would be Princess Leia. Princess Leia with the side buns.

You get little Scotty as Yoda. Find a little adorable Yoda costume with the little netted where you'll see it on Etsy, the little netted with the Yoda ears and the paw. Is that what y'all are doing? We were going to. And I'm juiced up about it. I was about to say if y'all did do that, then we could also do Star Wars as well and be other characters but also do Star Wars. That would have been sick.

We're going to be the Inside Out crew. That's a massive win. Love it. Oh, you don't like Inside Out. Ask who I am. Oh, no. No. No.

No. No. No. I would have loved to have been anger. I'm fear. That's funny. Was that Charo's idea? Yeah. Charo, well, hey, that's off to Charo. That is funny.

You got the glasses and the little wig and everything. Bro, just type in Fear costume. Fear costume inside out. And Charles gets to be a, what is it, a bingo? Oh, oh. I'm sorry, I was thinking of sadness. I thought Jarrah was having you dress up as the blue one. No, I think that's going to be, I think that's going to be Scotty,

because her parents are also like, we're rounding out the six. Okay, okay. Yes, your fear with the bow tie and, yeah. Got this long-headed costume thing that I'm just going to be wearing. I'm trying to be Darth Vader. I'm trying to force show people. I was like, hey, we should do some, like, whether it's like D.C. superheroes, I was going to be Bain.

But Scotty is Wolverine, but no, I got to be fear from Inside Out. You look it up? We haven't pulled up. Will, I think this is going to look great on it. You're going to look great. Tommy. And he's got a little houndstooth going in his vest. That looks awesome.

Darth Vader, bro. Would it be salt in the wind if then I did Star Wars? Yeah. Would that up saying? You guys just come decked out sick Star Wars costume. Is that what you are wearing to be with the zoo? No, boo with the zoo. So Rue wants to be a fairy.

She saw this dress. She wants to dress. She's all about princesses and dresses. Yeah, she wants to be a fairy. So Charo is, we're thinking like, all right, for Halloween, we want this, you know, we want to squad fit all inside out. Roo's either going to be like joy or Rue's going to be one of them. Okay, okay. One of the good ones.

Yeah, yeah. And she's like, here's how we knock. out the fairy costume. We'll let Rue wear the fairy costume at boo at the zoo. So that way, when it's Halloween time, hey, you're going to, two costumes. We got Halloween, boo to zoo. You're going to wear the fairy. And then for Halloween, you'll get to be one of the characters of Inside Out. Yeah. Charles, Bing Bong. Charles Bing Bong. That's the inflated one. I wanted to be Bing. I thought I was like, right on, can I be Bing Bong? She's like, I don't know, you know the sizes. You would have been. I ordered it.

Sizes. You would have been a great big... So I got to be out of your fear. So y'all don't have anything playing for Bout the Zoo? Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet.

You come up with something. Yeah, I'm trying to throw something together. Yeah, we get something going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But booed the zoo, October 28th, Tuesday. 530. Be there. Be there.

I think I might do Fat Stafford. That might be my... dress up, get some shoulder pads going, little Matt Stafford jersey. That could be good. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, news, news? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to our first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special.

Jacob Kingston grew up in an isolated polygamous. sect. We were God's chosen kingdom on earth. He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee,

and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levant this went to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings, from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life.

Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. That could be good. Maybe I could hit the Whoa Willie One shelf. You should be Willie One. shelf. That would we think. What are we talking about here? That would be good. We got the costumes. We do. I have a question for the audience.

Please. I have a question for the parents out there. Roos three. Her personality is as big as ever. Okay. I see a lot of great signs of confidence and leadership, but she's also very sassy. And as a parent, you're always trying to figure out the balance between like, all right, they're kind of talking crazy to me right now. Do I stay poised and in the pocket? Like Baker Mayfield? without any of his big targets. What do I kind of snap back at her, right? So my question is, are sassy moments a sign of confidence? Sorry if you guys hear these honks.

There's a sicko outside. We might have to go full PT sicko. I think that is a PT sicko. You might just go out there and yell. Sorry if you guys heard the honks out there. Are sassy moments a sign of confidence? Hey, we're going. Go check on it, Derek.

So is sassiness a... Hey, we try to film out here! Yeah. Are sassy moments a sign of confidence? Are sassy moments a sign of confidence or are they to test boundaries? I think that's a great question. I'm running through that in my mind slash. I know what you're saying because I've seen you deal with...

sassiness. With sassiness and attitude pretty, like, I think really well. Okay. I was doing some, like, I was doing some research on this. I did come across, like a parent source, like a blog. It's like ways to spot a sassy little personality. And it, this, this source describes sass as part of early experiments with identity, independence, autonomy, boldness. And it frames sass as a superpower in a way. Being sassy can mean that a child is learning to stand up, testing what works socially and seeing their voice. as meaningful. Then I came across, I came across this metaphor, like boundary railings. If the bridge has no railing, the toddler crosses slowly, hesitantly, and insecurely with boundaries that cross with more confidence. Sass may emerge as part of the testing phase until those rails are in place. So then I'm just thinking to myself, all right, what are examples that I can hang on to where it's like, all right, this is good, this is confidence, her testing, but it's all encompassing, right? because it's always happening. Like when their brains are developed

and they kind of like lose their minds. Yeah. And you're kind of in the pocket trying to figure out what to do. But when I'm thinking back on examples that we might have been trying to experiment with or might have done, I see like, it's like dinner time.

She'll get, she's been sassy around dinner time. But now that I feel like she understands these boundaries of clean play club or you don't get what you're actually thinking about until this happens, it almost takes away the, I don't know, guess the reaction on my part because now we know what the said boundaries are to where I'm like,

hey, yeah, you don't have to, you don't have to eat your food. You kind of know what consequences come with that because I know what your little brain's thinking about. You're thinking, how can I get out of eating dinner right now and still get the cookie at the same time? Or how can I press? All right, I'll eat two bites. Two bites don't really work anymore. Like, you need to eat your food. Yeah. I need to show that you had in a very respectable effort with your plate. Yeah. In my brain, I'm thinking it doesn't have to be. clean, but I need to know you're eating at your chicken, you're eating at your vegetables, you're eating at, whether it's potatoes, rice, whatever it is. Yeah. Like, if I know you're putting

an effort and you'll, you'll get your little half cookie here at the end of dinner, like, I know what that looks like. But I feel like that's been a, that's been a something I think to about, all right, there's something that's like clear boundaries that are set there now. Like learning when I was doing, when I was kind of breaking down the morning routine, like Rue gets really sassy or whiny. You know what I mean? To where it's like, well, dude, why does. why does the morning have to be such an issue right now, bro? Like, we do this every morning. But I've identified to where it's like,

she does love her independence. She does love to where she feels like she's in control. To her like one morning or a couple mornings now where it's like, hey, I got a challenge for you. And I've kind of laid out a couple outfits because, like, we're not going to go through this whole. I don't want to wear this outfit. I'm wearing this one.

And then it just becomes an entire argument in negotiation. It's like, all right, I've laid out a couple options. Hey, here's your challenge. You pick out your outfit. You can put it on. First thing you got to do is you got to go potty. We got to clean you up. You go potty first.

But then I challenge you, Dad is going to leave the room. I know you yell at me to go downstairs. You want to do it by yourself. I recognize that you want to be independent in this situation. Yeah. So it's like, all right, I trust you. You got to make your bed.

You got to pick out your outfit. Here's a couple I laid out for you. You got to make your bed. Make sure your rooms tidied up. Like she loves to slide the door shut. She likes to do all the things. And then Dadda, Mama, come upstairs and see what I've done. thing. I was like, I'm going to go downstairs and start making breakfast. Whenever you come

downstairs, because I know you like to think about what you want for breakfast now. I'm not, if I give her a couple of hours, I don't know yet. It's like, all right, you think about it and you tell me. Yeah. But then when you come downstairs, you have, you've thought about it, you let me know what you want for breakfast. Now that we kind of had some of those boundaries in place when I'm rocking solo mission doing the morning routine, that's kind of the way I approach it. Because I'll get Scottie going. She's just a minute. She just wants to be down on the floor playing. I'll start making breakfast. Get up the bar. barricaded the stairs. Rooh, you can hang out by yourself upstairs, do your morning routine by yourself, however you see fit. These are the things you got to do. I've now seen that that has,

that has been, there has been fruits that have came from that because she has grown and understanding what the boundaries are dealing with her, her sassiness. Yeah. And then another one, I think that where I'm going through all this, I'm like, that is a good question. Our sassy moments, the confidence, or do they, are they test some boundaries? And it's like, it's probably the whole mix of both thing. And am I getting, do I, again, do I let her walk all over me? It's like, hey, you're whining. You're not using your strong voice.

You know, Dadda doesn't like to be talked to like that. Yeah. Change your tone or when I hear your strong voice, I will do what you are asking. Then I'm thinking, is she still getting her way by being sassy? I'm telling her the answer. If she gives me the answer, she still gets it. Am I kind of being the, am I being a push over there? Like these, I'm always like asking myself these things, like as I'm trying to parent

and trying to figure out ways for her to, like, develop and grow and be strong and how she's, like, asking questions or like, hey, use your confident voice. Can I, can I as a not a co-host, but more of a friend, kind of just say my two cents on what I think of you as a dad in those situations? Not yet. Hold it. I have one more. The TV coupons. We had the dad hack of using TV coupons. Roo would always, Rue was always kind of in that, you know, you're just in that spot. I want to watch this scene.

I want to watch. No, I don't want it to be over. And then she's crying and it's like you're sitting down with her on the couch. And then when we came across the TV coupons, once 30 minutes goes up, now she kind of knows that it's done. Yeah. That was my third example. Like when I'm reading through all this stuff and trying to figure out, am I doing this correctly? Am I going about this the right way?

Here are some evidence that I can now pull from the words. Okay, these are boundaries that are in place. Whenever it's happening in other moments, find other boundaries to kind of put around there to kind of like allow her to be her if she's having a moment, but then she also knows in the back of her mind, these are what the boundaries are. Yeah. Okay, now you can, now you can, now you can go. I just want to get that third one out there. No, I love that. I love that. Do you have more on it? I don't, I don't want to cut you off of any type of brain. Like, where else is your mind going with? My mind, like, goes through there because as I, like, as I, like, pose that question to parents that

might be, like, wondering the same stuff. Here have been my, like, highs and lows and how I've tried to like navigate those things on the whole boundaries issue. Yes. Am I being a push over? Do I need to be a little bit more snappy with her? It's hard to because it's my daughter and I'm softer with my daughter. But also I want to, you know, mold a human being that I see is fit within like resilience and leadership and humility and like, hey, here's how you need to be talking to people.

Am I allowing it a little too much? Am I doing a better job here? I'm more so communicating things that I look to that I've done that are now, I be like evidence in my eyes and things that kind of help me think about what that next thing might be to put boundaries around so I don't allow her to be out of hand in certain situations. So I'm more of like talking through this with the parents at home through this out loud on, hey, here's some things that's worked for me. Here's some things that I'm thinking about now where I can do better. Yeah. So that to answer your question. I think it's the same thing as me being worried about

being a good dad of before Scarlett was ever here. And you said the fact, the fact that, that you're worried about it and asking questions is a great sign. I would say that about this of the sassiness issue, the fact that you're worried about it, you're thinking about it, you're adapting, you're trying new techniques. Would this work? What if I gave her some more responsibility? What if I gave her some more places where Rue can make the right decision and put the ball on her court instead of reacting emotionally and trying to take the power from her in that situation. Right.

Like, I think you're doing a great job of just confronting the issue. Rather or not, sassiness is... They're going to be sassiness. Yeah, they're going to be sassy. And whether or not that's going to turn into a good character trait or a negative one where she's given attitude to, you know, people at school or teachers or whatever. Like that's besides the point.

I think you're doing a good job of identifying it, navigating it, and trying to find a solution or a way to make this a good thing, make this a character trait, and to brag on Rue at the Fall Fest. We were doing drawings and Rue set there and did not say a word the entire time but was very like peaceful as she's like coloring. She loves coloring. She was locked in. And JJ, Jeremy's son, is sitting there with me drawing. Sherman, hey, hey Sherman, Sherman, Sherman. Hey, Rue, Roo. Hey, Roo, look, look, look, look, Roo.

And Rue is wanting no part of what's going on with Sherman and JJ. Yeah. But she was not rude about it at all. She was very quiet and she would slowly look up from her drawing and look at J.J.'s drawing and go, and look back down and keep coloring. And like, you could tell that in that moment, she was setting a boundary for JJ and saying, like,

hey, I'm not matching your energy right now. I'm locked in. I'm doing my thing. And, like, the most I'm going to say is, Chairman, will you get me purple? And I gave her a purple. And she said, thank you. And started doing her little thing.

That's so funny. Like, she's doing a good job of setting. You could tell she wasn't a, annoyed by JJ, but she was like, I don't know. JJ got done with one because he was coloring the bats. Yeah, yeah. And he was having like, I want Rue to see the bats because Rue was going to color, like her and mom went to go color a Halloween bag or something like that.

Yeah. I just remember walking over to Rue and I'm like, hey, Rue, JJ really wants you to see. Yeah. To see his colored bats. He really wanted to go over to him. To impress Rue. Yeah, which I love. That was all about it.

JJ's a great ball of energy, bro. Yeah, yeah. His enthusiasm is off the charts. Yeah. And I'm like laughing because I can, I'm like seeing Rue and Rue clearly hears him. Oh, yeah. And Clumps trying to like, you know, tone him down and I'm like, hey, I'll go try and get Ruin him.

Like, he wants to show you this color. It's just like when you run up to us and you're like, hey, look at my drawing. And we're like, oh my God. Like he wants to get like, go give him a little something. She goes over and she's like, that's good. And I, dude, I loved that moment of Rue. I felt like I saw a lot of Rue's personality in that. moment. I love that even though she wasn't matching his energy, like she was not mean to him.

She didn't say, leave me alone. Da, da, da, da, I'm doing that. Like, she was very calm and poor. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But, but. This one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.

And then I wrote down on my little notepad, hey Jonas. and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself.

I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jenchian went. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface.

Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

She could have lost her cool. Here's another one this morning. Like this morning on Friday, she's like, hey, two or one sleep until we go to the van der, you know, she's rattling off because we're like, oh, great job. And she's like, she wants to tell everybody.

One sleep until we go to the Vanderbilt game. Two sleeps until we do until we go to, until we go to grandpas. Three sleeps until we go to London. my hey sweetheart bro she got a weekend coming up oh my hey sweetheart no sleeps you know who plays football the night and she's like who and i'm like the Nebraska corn oscars and she like kind of i'm like holding her hand she kind of like leans back and she's like dad-da you know who plays football the night and i'm like the hoskers and she's like no she's like no and she starts kind of getting sassy with me

she's like no dad i say who plays the night you you don't say hoskers you don't say you don't say nothing I tell you Huskers. Like, all right, I'm on a knee down on her level. And I'm like, and again, I'm having one of those moments. I'm like, you little girl. I'm like, all right, let's do that. And she's like, and then she tells her voice. She's like, Dad, who plays a night?

And I'm like, and she's like, the Huskers. I was like, all the Huskers. And I'm thinking in that moment, like, am I just letting her walk all over me? You know, I think she has, I don't know your daughter all that well, but I. You're going to go through it. I'm just saying three is a different, three is a different vibe, bro. She, she's wanting that independence and that control. Control.

And, yeah, I think that's a cool thing that she wants that. She knows she's very much. She's like a, she's like a boss, dude. She's like a, so we went, this is, I'll just go in and say this is a survival kit. And I apologize. Like I know, I'm sure you have some stories as well. Dude, you're crushing. We had to go to, our charl takes her after swimming lesson.

on Tuesday, took her to Dick Sporting goes to get cones for soccer. She's got a soccer ball at home. You know, she goes to like soccer once week. But she gets the cones and brings them home. She's got Charo out in the front yard running drills. She doesn't want to play soccer. She wants to be the coach that she's observed every time of soccer practice. And she's putting Charo through the drills.

She's not the one doing soccer. Yeah. Like, Dayday, I can get my apple juice. She comes inside real quick, gets her apple juice. And I look out there and Charo's the one doing the drills while we're just, Ruggis sits back and watches her. No, my, my, no, around, around. Yeah, you do it this way.

No, the cone goes here. Survival Kit, go get some cones. Kids love cones. Dude, I love that. It sounds like you got a commander-in-chief. Got a little commander-in-chief. You got a little Mike Linebacker is what it sounds like. Green dot?

You got a little green dot. We got a little green dot. Dude, I think it's cool. I think Rue is setting herself up to be a very competent, independent, sure of herself and her decisions. And it will come out sideways, dude. She's three. I'm not giving you advice. I'm just talking

through this. I feel you. I feel you. But I think that's badass. There's more like leaning on the parents out there that have had their three-year-old or they're currently three or maybe they're two thinking like, oh, what's the age of three like? Like just buckle up. Oh, yeah. We were at Italy's last night, mac and cheese was too hot. and it really wasn't that hot like sweetheart you got to blow on

and she's yelling I mean no don't blow on I'm like dude I'm trying to make your life easier and she doesn't want to we're like you got to sit let it wait like eat your chicken tenders or eat your chicken fingers until your mac and cheese cools down she doesn't want to

she's crying and you're like you know you're there as a parent you're in public they're having a moment and you're like you know I'm like fuck like please stop being so loud and like yelling and crying and everything else Do you feel like it's, is it good for you, though?

Like, do you feel like there's a part of you that maybe needed some softening that, like, you feel like you're also kind of growing in this moment of like self-control? Absolutely. Because I know, like, parents, they'll sit there and tell you, like, don't, dude, don't stress about that stuff. Like, we've all had kids and people who are, like, they're assholes. They don't have kids, whatever. Yeah. So I'm thinking that moment, I just got to, I got to be cool.

Roo's having a moment. I really wish you just listen because it's like, bro, I'm telling you, number one, it's not that hot. Like, let Dad, Dad, Blow on it. mix it around, blow on it. Or, hey, if you want to do yourself, you blow three on yourself, I show you all the time. Like, get a fork, not a spoon. Then try it.

If it's too hot, just eat the other thing on your plate. But she's having a moment to where it's happening for several minutes to where she's crying. She's like, no, don't talk to me. Don't talk to me. Mama don't talk to me. Like, Dad, don't talk to me. John and I both just kind of sit in their quality to the point of where it's like, we can't even say, all right, we're not going to talk to you.

She's like, no, no. And she's crying. She's got it on a fork just in her hand. And like as she's like, you know, red, crying, doing the whole thing. Charles and I just kind of sitting there. I'm kind of just looking over at Scotty. I'm like, Scotty, eat your, eat your turkey. And then I hear Roo, like, she's not, you know, she doesn't want us to tell her what to do.

She doesn't want us to talk to her. Yeah. Eventually, it's going to swing the other way. She's sitting there. She's trying to figure it out in her head as she's screaming. And then I just hear, like, as I'm like looking at Scotty, I hear, ooh, ooh, ooh, who. She's like starting to blow on.

it and I'm dude I know she's looking at me and I'm laughing and you know I got the quiet laugh going on to where my shoulders are going I can't look at Charo I look up at her she sees me laughing the room I get a little more I'm like Scott you're so funny Scott you're trying out of looking at but she's made cry trying to blow on the mac and cheese just the shakiest hands of all time I I love it Go ahead, Jeff. I was going to ask a question to Will. Listen to this is someone who doesn't have kids at 23.

If you, I guess the better way to put this, like three years ago, Will, how would he have reacted to this situation? Compared to now. Do you think, can you see that where you're like, oh, I've definitely grown? Because I'm sitting here going, I'm feeling for you. I don't have it. It's your kid. The way you're feeling is how me younger or. I'm just assuming.

Because obviously being a parent kind of like, hey, you have to grow and develop and kind of force yourself to like patience, all these things that you learn when you do become a parent. But I fully think back to your question. I was feeling what you were thinking like as you're listening. Like you kind of just want to, bro, hey, cut the shit. We can leave. Yeah. Like get up. We can leave right now.

And you're kind of making a scene as a parent. And really it's not the way to handle it. you're kind of just reacting and everything else. Their brain has so many things that's going on in their head that they're trying to learn and develop. They wish they were in control, like little toddlers. They're always being told what to do,

how to handle stuff. Hey, you need to blow on it. Like use this, not that, wear this, not that. Go do X, Y,

and Z. Here's the routine. Hey, we have to get going. No, we can't play right now. We have to do X, Y,

and Z, blah, blah, like they're always being told what to do. And they want their own independence and feel like when I'm reading about, they're learning to stand up, testing what works socially, seeing if their voice, they feel like they have a meaningful voice. They want it to be heard.

So you're like hearing, you're like, all this stuff is happening in real time to where the development as a parent, you're kind of challenging yourself for it to kick in and stay poised, stay in the pocket, to not like lose yourself or lose control because you have to empathize what their little brain is going through, all these big emotions. And they want to be in control of their life too. not be told what to do from mama and dad all the time. So as you're listening, it's like,

I very much have that young will like in my head as it's going on. If I wasn't a parent, I would fully be what you were feeling. Because you think like, this is how my old man would handled it. Yeah. This is how my parents would have done it, right? Yeah. And like, as you were growing as parents and trying to challenge ourselves to like learn new things on how to be intentional and present and are we doing our best right now? We're trying to do our best. And it also makes you reflect on all the stuff that you had when you were a child and what your parents did well, what now you feel like you're learning as a parent. Like, man, my dad or my mom wasn't equipped in this way, I feel like now, because I'm sure the generation before them handled them in a much

different way. We have so many more resources and literature and things that we can source now and look to for like guidance advice, things to try that I don't feel like our parents had back then to where it was different for us. So it's like, you know, all those old ways of how we were, my dad would tan my ass if I'm making a scene in public. And I might be older.

Maybe that's how I go when she's older. I'm just kidding. But you know what I'm saying? Does that make sense? 100%. It's very profound. I'm going to make an edit of the complete sides of Will Compton from like,

he's talking about like the most mature and philosophical way of parenting, like these things. And I'm like, man, that is so smart. And I'm going to find you just farting. We're going to go back and forth. That will be in the pipeline. Just all the guy humor that I love.

The many sides of William Compton, William Earl the third. And two chefs, I loved chef's question because I was going to ask something similar. And what I was going to say earlier that I forgot to say, knowing you and knowing that pool story where you ripped Roe, where it got to a point where it was like, okay, Rue, we're going home. And you're not talking to your mom like that and blah, blah, blah, blah.

Like, in your brain, with your upbringing and everything that's important to you, morally, all that stuff, you are not going to raise a brat. You won't. You are not trying to raise a brat. You're not trying to raise a kid that's going to be off the rails. Like, you are going to do a good job. of trying to create those guardrails and aim rue in the right direction of where she needs to head growing up. And I love where your head is at and your instincts and the strategy that you're taking on this situation.

I just wanted you to hear it. I appreciate that, bro. That is ultimately the goal. I think every parent's like, man, you don't want to raise a brat. You don't want to raise, you know, a sassy-ass kid. You don't want to raise an asshole. and you're not being there's probably times that you are being too soft, whatever.

Like we all make, your boy is soft now. We all make mistakes and we don't do the right thing in right situations, but it is good to know that you do have that place in your head of like you know the limit of where it goes to and you have the ability to nip it in the butt

and be like unacceptable. That's not happening. So what, I'm not worried for you. you, I guess is what I'm trying to say. Yeah, more like more like creating conversation. Creating a dialogue. Yeah, creating a dialogue with the with the PT sick, with the Pt's out there, with the parents out there that could be going to the same stuff and thinking all the same things that could absolutely have all the same goals and same like practices and doubt in those moments to

where we're sharing. We're sharing experiences. Yeah. They're giving feedback. You know what I mean? I would say that what the reason you raise that question and the reason you did this podcast is Like the ultimate side of there's a true intentionality there. And that's something that I think probably that's the first step of like you're already probably beating out a lot of people. And not saying it's a competition, but like the idea that it matters enough to you that you put that much thought into it and to really take time to think about it and take a big step back says a ton.

I hope it's all PT-6ers out there, baby. And I am very excited to bring up my in the trenches. Okay. I'm very excited to see the PT-Sixers in the comments and what they say about that question that you propose because I put on Twitter, my In the Trenches is Scar Scar's Diper situation. The size ones are too small.

Oh, I did see you put that out there. The size twos are too big. And I put out this tweet, and it was one of my very first tweets that I went past the restricted amount of tech. I wrote a book. And I was legitimately like, this is not for likes or comments.

Like, please tell me what people have done. And dude, PT6 came in clutch. There was like 30 replies. And so first off, a huge shout out to PT6. And secondly, I came to Jill, because of course Jill and I are having this conversation. That's why I put it on Twitter. Because I'm like, Jill, we can't be, we use coterie.

I was like, we can't be doubling up codery because one, those diapers are already expensive and two, now they're going twice as fast because we're doubling up coderies at night time that can't be the solve. Like there's got to be something else. Put out that question, resounding, hey, nighttime diapers,

overnight diapers, overnight diapers, nighttime diapers, got to do it, shirm, use this company, blah, blah, blah. I read those to Jill and it started opening her mind a little bit of like, yeah, we could do that, huh, blah, blah, blah. And I didn't say anything, but I saw on her story this morning, on her Instagram story, she had a, looking to get some nighttime diapers. Does anyone have brand recommendation?

So, MT6 and Pt6 in my replies, thank you. Because you helped us, like, move in a direction. I can't wait to see it fixed because, I mean, Skarskar is sleeping great, but we're having to wash these Merlins. Every single morning because they're just covered in pee. And you're like, she's wearing a diaper. How's this happening? Shout out PT6. And by the way, PT6 was ready last week after we talked about the hater coming after you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Honestly within an hour or two, the episode dropping, people are like, hey, reporting for duty, where's he at? I found the comment. The guy's name was like David Wee or David Way. I found the comment and I wanted to do like a meme at it and stuff for it. I can't find it. Did he delete it? I looked at it.

He deleted it. Oh, he deleted it. He deleted it. Before I could screenshot it. He backed off. Damn. You know what that says, though? I don't know.

Were you guys able to go back to that comment whenever the podcast came out? My thought is people, when they listen to the episode or watch the episode, was this comment on? This is before the episode dropped. He deleted it instantly? I remember, I found the post. I'm like, this has, the 100% of the posts look through. It's gone. Your comments gone.

His comments gone. And it happened before the episode dropped. So even after our conversation, we find it for the show gone. Either he had a change of heart or he saw something. Or he got a cut back and we see. Yeah, because I'm thinking if I responded to him, eventually other people would probably see it and go in. And maybe he's going back and forth with a couple people to the points where it's like,

I'm deleting this. I found it. I clicked on his profile and I, too, laughed because this was right after we recorded. Chef nailed it on the head. His bio was legit like, hey, spread positivity because you never know when your friend needs it the most, like, something like that. And we had a mutual on Instagram. We had a mutual. And it's a guy that I know pretty well.

And I kind of want to reach out to him and be like, yo, you know this cat? We need to put them on notice for PTC6. We're going on. PTC salivating for his mission right now. This is your boy? Yeah. And he would tell me, too, because I'm buddies with him. It'd be fun.

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

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

Jacob Kingston grew up in an isolated polygamous. sect. We were God's chosen kingdom on earth. He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levant this went to a billion dollar fraud. But with two, two kings,

from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Funny. Yeah, I have a...

So it wasn't a burner. It was the actual guy. I have a I have a dad loss. My dad loss is this sitting in the pocket as a dad and your toddler is just all about wanting to know if it's mom's turn to put her to bed. You know what I mean? You just take these hits, bro. Or it's like, hey, in front of me, mom is your turn to do bedtime tonight? Oh, it's dad's turn.

But I want you to do bedtime. I'm just thinking, yo, I'm standing right here, bro. into where it's like she has a couple more things that goes beyond dad dad like no I want mama to do that no I want mama to do this and I'm just like all right

and Charles sees it on my face like I'm not like reacting in a certain way I'm just like she knows I'm thinking like dude come on like give the old man some love like your dad like we're homes bro have you ever seen like I don't just

I don't just come home or you know I'll actually because I this is the one thing I'm have experience in so I'm going to jump in here. Little kids and toddlers say some mean stuff. They do. In front of you. I worked an after school program through YMCA and Knoxville when I was in college.

And so I went to Rocky Hill Elementary every year or every day when kids got out for kids that parents couldn't pick them up or bus routes didn't get to them. And man, not intentional. I'd get little Eleanor sitting there. She goes, have you always had a gap in your teeth? No, Eleanor. I got to wear my retainer. Thank you.

Parents told me the same thing in seventh grade. But anyway, I wanted to throw that in there. I don't feel too bad. Well, I think it's just they don't even. I know, it's a loss that a dad feels in their body when they're when they're little one. Like, you know they have a strong relationship with them.

And it's like, yo, is it mom's turn to your bed? Like, I'm, yeah, bro. I'm sitting here. I'm looking at dad loss. Mom versus dad bedtime routines. Does your child respond differently when dad puts them down or versus

his mom puts them down. Like does mom and dad have different bedtime? Because I'm thinking, bro, we rip at bedtime. Yeah. Like, we have fun at bedtime. Dad dad kind of sick with it with the bedtime. Yeah. That is nasty with bedtime routine.

Like, we'll play games. I mixed up games. Hey, let's race to the bathroom to brush our teeth. Sometimes dad let you skip a couple things. Mama's out there listening right now. Like, what the? Oh, this is why she brings up. Can I brush my teeth and brush my hair in the morning?

Yeah. Because dad's like, oh, you want to go to, you want to fall asleep now? Like, hey, we got to brush your hair and brush your teeth in the morning now. Reers been asking me to read eight books at night. Yeah, that's just something new we've been doing. Been reading eight. You know I do. See, I'll lock her into two. She got me on three the other night. But also, bro, I get in and lay in bed with her every night. Like when it's time, like when we hit the books, we on a regular night where it's, you know, we'll read one book, then brush your hair, brush your hair, brush her every night. Like, when it's time. Like, like, when we'll read one book. We'll read one book. your teeth. We'll get back in bed. We'll read another book. And then when it's time to come off, she knows it's dad-dad, dad-dad, I give me a massage. Like, I lay in bed with her. Every time I do bedtime, we switch every night.

And every time I'm in bed with her and I'm scratching her back and like rubbing her arm or giving her a massage every night until it's like, you know, she's like tired. I can tell like rub her face and hair to her she's like falling asleep. And I'm kind of like, you know, giving her the handstroke on the side of the head. And I'm like, all right, bedtime. She gives me a hug kiss, three square. squeezes one, two, three, I love you. And she'll, like, keep her eyes close through it. She knows it's bedtime.

She's asleep. She's passed out. And then when mom does bedtime, at the end of every time mom does bed, it's like dad has, dad has got to come upstairs and do the final put in the last infinity. You're the closer. I'm the closer. Bring in the left. Yeah, I'm the scratch the back closer.

Like, I'm scratching back every night. I'm like, bro, we rip at bedtime. Why is it always like, you act like I'm torturing you when I do bedtime? Then I know the answer. She wants both y'all to do it. that that's it if you're going in there every night no matter what she likes it when charl does it because she's getting both parents that's all it is you might be right it's not that you're and she's not as good uh like because she does this time i'm like i think in my head like bro we have fun

at bedtime yeah why is it always going to be mama and you kind of she her her mom have such a unique relationship to where it'll be like the whining and arc to where charles like I don't don't see why she's always wanting me to do bedtime all the time. Like she sits there and winds with me and she makes it hard on me. Yeah. All right. We might have, don't know, might have gotten cut off there for a second. Soundboard crashed on us for a moment.

they shout out Isaiah from Texas Isaiah from Mansfield Texas Maysfield Texas at that very close to the lead of Texas. Yeah, y'all ever play them? You'd be dead ass, just a little bit. No, just a little bit. We like to have fun on this show.

We like to have fun on the show. Hey, we beat your ass, but we're just kidding. Hey, Isaiah, listen, I'm excited for the first words being that, uh, but we did back in the day. I personally never played Mansfield, so I can't say I did. But, um, Sherman, listen, do we go through this all the time? Stay patient. Stay in it. Stay present.

But the moment you get to crawls, the moment you hear dad-dad for the first time, it is a joy and love that is experienced where the whole parents just telling people who don't have parents, it's like, man, just wait till you become a dad or wait until you become a parent. Or it's like indescribable the feeling that you have because you feel like you've tapped into like a new feeling, a new, like a secret sauce that people can't experience until you experience it. Yeah.

Like what makes parenthood great? Because people see the chaos and everything else and get the turn away from it. It's just like, man, it's moments like that that just feel you with something different. They just can't describe. Shout to Isaiah. Thank you for the phone call, bro.

Thank you for the phone call, Isaiah. Very excited for Scarlett's first words. That's going to be epic. Ask me Roos' first words. What were Roos' first words? Dada. Ask me Scotty's first words. What were Scottie's?

everybody's first words. Dadda. Dadda. That's Scarlett's first words. What's Scarlett's first words? Da da. Yeah.

Yeah. Hopefully. Hopefully. It'll come. They say the hard consonants are better or easier than the soft ones. The tongue and the teeth

come before the mumma, yeah. So. And then you sit in there hitting a well she's already kind of there because she spends most of the day with her. And then when dad comes home from work, Scarlet's,

ah, yeah, yeah. And that's it's a, trust me, it's a tongue. You got to have the empathy. It's a tough L for Mom. It's a tough out. Jill's like, yeah,

she didn't do that all day for me. Because they, like, we just, we know that moms, they go through it, they're in it a lot more than that. That doesn't mean the dads

don't have their own gritty work, their own intentional work, their own presence in the entire scheme of things. But it's a tough L for mom's swallowing. It is. When Dadda gets the love. And so I'm soft on it. I'm not sitting there showboating

doing anything when, you know, I get the smile. Scarlett had her first laugh yesterday, by the way. Start getting on that changing table, start giving them the noises on their tummy, the tickles going on. Oh, yeah.

You crave it, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, dude. The anticipation you create in those moments when you start kind of tossing up a little bit, a one, a two, just to kind of see their smile

because they know three's coming. They're about to get tossed in the air. It's a good one. Jill, I will never toss Scarlett. Ever. No, never toss the babies around. You tossed that little son, bitch. She already liked when I lifted.

Yeah. We're getting there. Baby steps. I test it out by, instead of, like, throwing them in the air, it's just like I'll go a little faster ascending in the air. Yeah, yeah. But Scotty a first would be like, all right, you're not ready for the show yet.

You're not ready for prime time. Okay. Baby giraffe. Yeah, mama ain't seen you that. All right. can't handle this yet. Oh my God. We have our second call in. Here we go. What's up, boys? I'm currently on the way to the hospital with my wife. Say, hey, wifey. I think she's in the middle of a contraction right now. I think I think she's wanted to let you get to know that. Your podcast had

prepared me for the trenches. I'm looking forward to the trenches. By the way, this is Ben from Alabama. Hey. Ben from Alabama. I love you. I love it. It's like, hey, she's going, I think she's having like something that they call like childbirth contractions. But I just want y'all to know, I'm ready for my dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm ready for my gym. I ain't running away to the hospital right now.

She said we got to go. I don't even know what to call it. She's having something. She's feeling something in her stomach called contractions or something like that. I'm built for these trenches. I'm ready. Hey, you guys are the best dads ever. you got to make me the best say, hey, honey, say hey.

But if he's not. then he's going to be pissed. Yeah. But he just seems like a little roll-tide role to me. I don't know. You keep saying, you keep doubling down, tripling down. You could be insulting him. He seems like a war,

and we'll cut this once he comments, but he seems like a war-dam eagle guy. Yeah. That's what he seems like to me. Hey, I am rolled-damn tight. Sweet-Arr, you want to say, I? Oh, dude. Boys, just listen to the episode.

We're still at the hospital. We're still at the hospital. He's pushing right now. Sweet-ar, you want to say, hey? and it is get the fuck off the fuck and she's screaming roll time

Oh, that's right, Ben from Alabama. That's right. Ben from Alabama. Yeah, a few emails at six, or not at, 601 for the dads at gmail.com. 601. The dads. 601.

The dads. Read through a couple emails, hit to quote lesson topic. And we're out of here under an hour. And we're out. Sorry, chef. Sorry, chef, sorry, chef, sorry, chef. I got the first one real quick. This comes from Lexi Morris.

Hey, Will & Sher and proud member of Milk Team 6 here. I just wanted to reach out and thank you for being a bright spot in mine and my husband's week every week. We found out in June when our daughter was four months old that his cancer had transformed and he was going to need stem cell transplant. You guys have made us laugh and cry. We're sensitive in Cinell, too. during his hospital stays for chemotherapy and on the drives to and from the appointments. He's been admitted for his stem cell transplant, so just have to shout out my husband, Michael. He's the proudest member of Papa Team 6, a fellow girl dad, and he's our hero in human form.

Time for him to kick cancer's ass, good, purple heart, thanks again, and can't wait to see the merch that Jill and Charo come up with, Winky Face, Lexi M. Lexi, thank you. That's heavy. That's heavy. I'm sorry you guys are going through that. Seems like you guys are trying to handle it as well as you possibly can. Very much appreciate you taking the time to write that, shouting out your husband. Oh, yeah.

Sounds like your husband's trying to keep as good of an attitude as he possibly can. The whole good mentality. I can't imagine. Honored that we're even a small little sliver semblance of y'all's experience of, you know, fighting cancer and coming together as a family and it's we're honored that we even get to be a small little solverative of that thank you that would be so hard to go through yeah that'd be so hard to go through for the dads the boys we are all thinking about you guys absolutely our heart goes out to to you both keep fighting i'm hoping it's all uphill it's all optimism um from here but that is

it is tough they had it in quotations of uh time to kick cancer's ass so maybe that's a little mantra that they got going. Time to kick cancer's ass. Come on. Time to kick cancer's ass. I got one here from Ben Waring, Ben Waring, Ben Waring, boys, longtime UK listener of busing and day one for the dads over in Liverpool,

England. Come on, Liverpool. How sick is that, bro? Liverpool, England. Day one for the dads, long time listener of busing with the boys. Where the Bay Oos are from? The Bay Oos.

me and my wife have been trying to start a family for a while now without success. We got checked out a few years ago and realized that IVF was our path to becoming a family. Our first round didn't work out, which left us at the lowest point in both of our lives. Our second round started the week before you released the IVF episode with Will & Charo. And for those wondering, listening, who might be taking that same route, my wife and I did a Bustin' With the Boys podcast around Mother's Day of this year if you want to go back and listen. to that. I made my wife listen to it and we both cried along together. Fast forward to now and we are currently expecting our little girl due on Super Bowl Sunday. My wife has taken the podcast as our lucky charm and we can't wait for Wednesday to roll around and we have another episode to listen to.

Keep up the great work. Keep crying and keep taking out the trash. Cheers. Ben. Dude, it fires me up that round two worked out. And then for those that do struggle with infertility and have used the the IVF method and it doesn't work out. There are, you know, you think about your story at times and how hard some of these moments are that you go through. Because at the end of the day, all of our individual worst moments are, they are our worst moments. They, what we, we have experienced the worst. When you begin to find perspective in here, other people's stories, there are friends in our circles, a friend in particular who went through, I want to say around five rounds of IVF before they've, finally, you know, struck lightning in a bottle and got lucky. But, you know, I know Charles

and I story in our journey and how challenging it was in our world. And we were lucky enough to be successful in our first try after trying for a while on baby number two. But it fires me up. The round two worked. I can't imagine, you know, trying to start a family for a while now to quote you without success. Got checked out a few years ago. Going the path of IVF, first round didn't work, which also at the lowest point of both of our lives. Mentally, I can only imagine how hard that was. But to see you guys, you know, strike on round two and have baby girl coming on Super Bowl Sunday.

Come on. Shout out to you both, Ben, and thank you for being a tier one on busing and being a day one for the dad's listener. 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 did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. 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.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs' tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchen went. I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.

She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lennar Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your courtside seat to the French Open.

network on TikTok. Thank you for writing in. And thank you for sharing. I know that that's hard in five rounds, let alone one. That's awesome. Dude, it's so hard to. When you think about it and you hear all the stories and have perspectives of everybody else, all the challenging things that people go through to have a child.

And then you think like, man, because Rue, it was like, it was the first time. And you don't know, you don't, it's like you take it for granted because then we try and having Scotty. and then we had to go through the IVF process and everything else. You kind of take for granted how lucky you are. Because when you're growing up, you just think, oh, it's quite simple how this process works. Yeah, one plus one equals two. Yeah, one plus one equals two.

And then you hear all the stories and your friends going through stuff and everything else. And then you just realize like, oh, damn, like, it is, it is tough to have a child these days. It's a miracle when you do have a kid. Yeah. I got another one. Christian Marquez wrote in. So Christian said, I want to preface this by letting you know that, oh, well, essentially he got the idea from the pod

that he'll be sending emails to himself as like a journal. Oh, yeah, let's go. And so he wanted to say thank you guys for the idea. And then this is one of his journal entries that he wanted to share with us. Fire me up. Oh, yeah. I want to preface this by letting you know that I got this Google account. idea from a podcast I started listening to, ironically, a week before that I found out I was going

to be a dad. The podcast is called for the dads and they gave this dad hack to leave you emails and messages about the milestones you're going to experience in life. Shout out to Fat Stafford and Willie One Shelf. In parentheses, you won't get these references yet, but you will someday. Your mom was so very excited to tell me that you were coming into this world. I was coming home in the evening from running extra track practices for some extra money. She was sitting on the couch with the smile that filled the whole room, and I went in to kiss her and give her a hug after a long day. I noticed a basket filled with a positive pregnancy test, a onesie that said,

newest recruit for Team Marquez, and, and I Love You Dad, Children's Book, as well as a dad hat. I was immediately excited. I knew from that moment on that this life I live is much bigger. than myself. It opened my eyes to what truly matters faith and family. I now realize that everything I do is for the greater good of our newfound family. I promise to always do right by your mom and you. I have the privilege of being a father thanks to you. This is an honor. I will not take lightly. I will raise you to withstand anything life throws your way with your chest out, head held high, and feet anchored in your disciplines. At that point, I didn't know you were going to

to be a boy or a girl, but I did note that you were going to be loved. The world is changing rapidly and will continue to do so. By the time you read this in a world of constant changes, I know you will be sure of one thing. Mom and Dad love you. I can't wait until I see your face and hold your little hands. You already are the biggest blessing in my life, second only to your beautiful mother, love dad. That's a teary eye one. Yeah, dude. That's good, bro. That's good. Who is that? Who wrote that? That was from Christian Mark. Marquez. Christian.

Good on you, my friend. Yeah, dude. That's a good dad. That juices me out. I will not lie. I read this before, so I would not cry on the podcast. I don't you. That's phenomenal.

I teared up the first time I read it. That's really good. That fires me up. Shout out Christian. And I know that, like, it's fun for the new dads because there's a lot of stuff that I'm sure I tell stories and you're like, oh, I've been there. I know what Sherman's feeling. But the thought of like holding the hands for the first.

time. And oh my God, it's just as good as like you think it's going to be just Scarlet this morning. We put her in her little king size bed and she's just gripping my finger. Yeah. Sitting there going, you're real. Like you're here. Yeah. Shout out you, Christian. Shout out you, Christian. Just imagine one day when the inevitable happens and they're an adult and they're reading that. Oh. That's going to be so sick. Yeah. That is. really cool, man. I have one here from Logan Sullivan, Will, Shirm, Chef, Derek. Logan from Texas here. I've been a tier one with Bustin with the boys for years now. Will and I's fatherhood journey has always followed the same timeline. And in April of 2022, we had our first child,

a perfect baby girl. Then two years later, my wife and I were expecting our second child in August of 2024, which I think is around the same time of Scotty. Sadly, tragedy struck and our second beautiful daughter was still born. Oh, fuck. It is a pain like I never thought was imaginable. Leaving a gaping hole in our hearts that will buckle up, fellas. Leaving a gaping hole in our hearts that will never be filled. And as I was listening to an episode a while back, Will brought up, Will brought up Ruse, imaginary friend Nelly, which is the name of our second daughter who is now an angel. And it broke me to the core. I'm a man of faith and I think that God brings people into your life for a reason if they are at a distance and you watch them through a screen or listen to them on a podcast.

But Will just know your daughter has our angel watching over her. It's been a long and hard road, but my wife and I were just blessed with our third child in July of this year. So I'm now dead of two girls and one boy. One just got to heaven a little sooner than we did. Boys don't ever let a moment slip by in love with everything you have. I thank you so much for what you were doing with for the dads. And don't worry. I cry with you guys every week. Hashtag BD6.

Oh, man. Logan, thank you. That's a really sweet note from Logan. Yeah. It's fascinating how the world works. And just how the universe, it's like, you know, when he talks about being on a a similar journey and having kids or, you know, around the same age and the second one came around when Scotty did.

And I, a pain like I never thought was imaginable. Yeah. I can't even, you know, obviously we've experienced pain like visually on this pod before when I thought about my mom. And I know what that's like. And so it's like I sit here and empathize and try to put myself in the shoes of

a family that goes. through something like that. Like I'm just imagining that with my wife and to think like you came across this podcast and just a story of the imaginary friend of Nelly. And no matter what, no matter, it doesn't matter. But thinking the universe is telling you something that it's, that it brings that thought to you. Yeah. Is, uh, is incredible. And, um, I don't know, man. Logan, I love you, brother, and thank you for sending that email in. That was, that was, I was like reading ahead when I was getting to the moments where I was getting emotional. I'm like, I rarely read the stuff before the episodes, but Derek showed me that email and then that one before the episode.

And so as you're reading it, my heart was just gripping because I was like, dude, that note from Logan was like, truly just a, such a sweet. sweet note, dude, and so much, like, love to them and their family. Because moments like that are special. And Jill had a friend pass away that she was very close with. And I forget the story with Lady Bugs, but there was some kind of moment with her and her friends with a Ladybug. And forever Lady Bugs are now that's in J. You know? And I'll even say it to Jill when,

like a ladybug literally landed on our windshield earlier this week. And I made that, I made that comment. And, you know. It's like when you experience like pain and loss, like, you just feel like you look around for anything. Yeah. That can help give you some closure. Yeah.

Absolutely anything. Your faith gets challenged. Your faith maybe gets better. Maybe your faith gets worse. No matter what, you feel lost. Yeah. And you're just looking for something.

And to think that just an episode of imaginary friend Nelly is something that we can latch on to for pretty much ever, right? Yeah. I don't know. That's, thank you for sharing it, Logan. I'm sure it was probably hard just typing that stuff up, man. We're very lucky the comments that we receive on the show or the DMs that we receive, whatever the case may be,

just want to, again, I know I've said this a thousand times, thank you for sharing everyone that has ever shared anything like that that hasn't been on the show. It just means a world that people are opening up like that and are sharing their deepest, you know, closest to the vast, like emotions.

It's probably therapeutic. It's probably therapeutic. I know I myself, I don't feel worthy of it. it, but like, I feel so blessed to read notes like that. And it's just, it's crazy. Yeah. It's crazy cool. Sorry.

Yeah. But love you guys. And also shout out Texas. Texas is kind of representing this week on the call-ins and the right ends. Yeah, man. Quote topic lesson. Yes. What mine was this week was essentially a question for the audience, not

necessarily a lesson or anything of that nature. Essentially a question, something that I think about a lot. But what is a value as a parent, and if this is a clip right now, just know my eyes are red because we cried on this episode. What is a value that you, what is a value that you would love your child to carry with them throughout their life? That would be my question for everybody. buddy. I love that. So more, more of, more of, um, um, I'll re-see the question. What is the value that you would love your child to carry with them throughout their life? Um, because essentially it's like we have, we, we go through like core values with any team,

any organization, any business. I know my wife and I, we've sat down and done core values with the family that I know we need to, we, we've made them, we made the core values. Charles made them into these awesome like, uh, uh, photos that we can hang on the wall. and stuff like that, but it's nothing that we sit there and revisit. And we both know that, you know, she'll throw it on me. And at the end of the day, there are things that you need to revisit because values are basically the foundation for how you show up to the world.

And so I think about that all the time with like Roo and like being a dad and what values do I want to instill in my kids. And how can I harness them in such a way to where it's like repeatable? Not like I'm always looking for new values. I'm always going to be and be curious of everything else. But what are a couple values that I truly hope my kids represent throughout their life? So I wanted to share that as a question so that way we can all think on it. You guys can chime in in the comments.

Write up something if you like. We'll read them on the episode. I would like to marinate on a couple. And then we can go through them. We can go through them next week. Absolutely. I just wrote it down on a card because I cannot wait for that. Yeah.

Just come with one or two. Obviously, there's going to be a bunch that we hope our kids represent. Dude, that's going to be sick because there's going to be a lot of submissions on that. Yeah. Yeah, that's going to be a lot of fun to go through. I'm excited. I also have a lesson of the week that's quick. Let's do it quick, bro.

I wrote it in narrative form. I'll go ahead and just punch it out. This week's lesson of the week from Sherman is block out the noise. I have two dogs at home, Wrigley Archieweeney, a Chawawa Weiner Dog. And he is all but two inches off the ground. Our second is a little schnauzer doodle named Goose. Wrigley needs a ramp in our house to go up and down our stairs to our master bedroom. And then Goose, on the other hand, has the speed of an Italian greyhound and the buddies, the bunnies of Mack McLung.

Shout out Mac Mac MacKloan. He's one of the most athletic dogs I've ever seen. And I grew up around a lot of bird dogs. So I've seen some pre-athletic dogs in my day. On walks when I let the dogs off their leash and a big grassy field, Riggly loves to go into bully alpha mode on goose. He goes up and barks right in his face, making goose wither up and fold to Riggly's assertive dominance.

Goose will try to run and have fun in the field and show off his speed and his quick turns, but slow little Riggly will cut off goose's tight turns and angrily barking goose's face, jealous of goose's speed. Goose will immediately slow down again and hide and obey Wrigley sparks. But after two or three times of this happening, Goose will suddenly remember that Wrigley is half his size and needs a ramp to go up three measly steps of stairs and has Triceratops elbows that don't allow him to go above the speed of five miles per hour.

When that clicks in Goose's brain, he suddenly catches the second gear to his already cheetah-like speeds and he will take off like a bullet, running full speed for hundreds of yards, rolling in the grass, cutting tight turns and coming up to his mom and dad, jumping almost to our shoulders just to say hello with a big smile. All the while, Wrigley is left in the dust, barking and barking and barking from further and further and further away.

His barks growing more and more quiet as the wind is ripping through Goose's ears. The sun is shining on his face and his mom and dad are shouting in the distance. Good boy, Goosey. So just a reminder of, I know we brought up the comment the other day, which I didn't take offense to it. But I did think to myself, like, that is a good reminder of like all the positive stuff on the show that we talk through and how much fun we have. A comment really doesn't, like, that doesn't affect me because I'm so in this moment. And this isn't me defending myself. this is more of like, I kind of want other people to feel this way.

Like, I just feel so in this moment and this opportunity that was presented to me. And like what an incredible thing the show is that like that comment doesn't really like stick. And I feel like there's so much power in like not letting the noise get to you. And like being able to press on and press forward and continue to be you. So much power in having. your own power. Yeah. Power and like taking your power.

Yes. Or say you are caught up and it's, you know, hey, take back, take back the power you have to block out block out the noise. Yes. Or allowing like, just being in the mindset of like,

even the like fat Stafford comments, like I genuinely enjoy those. And like what a funny, like fun thing that has become. And I'm literally going to order a ramster's jersey probably later today. dress up as fat Stafford at this zoo thing.

You're right, though. There's such a power in feeling comfortable in moments where you could easily feel embarrassed. Yeah. And just lean into what you excel at, too. Like, there's no better thing than why. I know I use the metaphor of my dogs, but like watching

goose rip like that is truly a sight to see. It's like, what are you doing like this little chieieaping it? He can't even touch you, goose. When you get to your full speed, he's nothing. Go rib, dog. Like, you got it.

So I just wanted the viewers to hear that. And like, whatever noise has got you feeling like this, dude, just shut it out and move forward and be you and excel and have your moment in a big grassy open field. Embrace the fun. Yeah, dude. Embrace the fun. For sure. Thank you.

I don't know how dad. centric that is, but it just kind of hit me. How could it be dad centric? Are you writing that? It shows how much you were in this certain moment and how much it's like everything else didn't matter, but you like watching your dogs and kind of writing that stuff out. I feel like for dads or for parents, there's so many stressors and things that go on outside of the house and when you are at home. It's like being so present and in tune that you have some descriptive kind of write up like you just had because it kind of shows that you are you are in that moment and whatever the noise is was is not there it doesn't matter yeah like you being present in that moment is what

it's about dude that's really good to you because i was not coming from that either of like being able to shut off uh other little parts of your life that might be affecting you but they're not there in that moment that's a dude that's really good too because i i have struggled with anxiety plenty of times. I mean, that was a crippling thing. Um, like 2017, 2018. Um, and yeah, just being able to like tell yourself like, hey, that is, that's not what is pertinent right now. It's not important. And 90% of the time that anxiety or thought that you're having isn't even true. It's like an imagination. It's fake. You're making it up. It's an assumption. And you're stewing on it and rummigating on it. And, like,

Like, just let it go. It's okay. Like, you don't, that's a good job on that, dude. Look around and embrace the beautiful weather we were having in Nashville, Tennessee. God. I hope everybody else is experiencing some good foliage. Yes, dude. So I know Nashville, Tennessee is at the moment.
