To wrap, Will and Sherm reflect on the power of being present and how the little moments can make the biggest difference as a dad.

Hosted by Will Compton–NFL Vet, creator of Bussin' With the Boys, and proud dad of two. This show isn’t about expert advice and how fatherhood is the greatest thing on earth—it’s about embracing the love and suck of parenthood every day. From balancing work and family to battling the mental load, fears, and the moments that wreck you in the best way, we dive into it all with honesty, vulnerability, and a sense of humor. Cause at the end of the day... us dads have no idea what we're doing. Alongside Will is his producer Sherman Young, a soon-to-be dad who’s currently enjoying his last few months of uninterrupted sleep and freedom. Together, they’ll break down everything that can go right and wrong (...usually wrong) when you bring tiny humans into this world. Expect funny parenting stories, laughs, call-ins, advice, weekly themes, and the kind of conversations you’d have over a cold beer in the garage. Whether you’re raising teens or still Googling “how to install a car seat”, For the Dads is the ultimate podcast for dads who are in it, about to be in it, or just trying to do their best while screwing it up along the way. ----- FOLLOW THE BOYS I nstagram: / Forthedadspod Twitter: / Forthedadspod Facebook: / Forthedadspod LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Bud Light - Easy to Drink.

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

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. 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. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are? I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase,

out of my skin and I just like really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better.

Because we've been seeing people share on their stories that they've been getting the new Papa Team Six shirts. And we've been saying, yes, it would be sick if we could promote it and wear it on the show. But we... Oh, oh. Coffing, good. Good. Good.

Sick? Good. Good. But we have been saying, yes, we would love to wear it on the show and promote it, but we haven't gotten our shirts yet. Damn. Spoiler alert. Oh, you're on button?

You're going to put it on already? I'm about to pop my top. I'm going to put it on right now. I'm holding it up like everybody can just see what's in the package. The real ones know what's in the package. And the amount, a huge thank you to everybody that threw these on as soon as they came in, dude, and started just tagging us online. There was one father leaving the hospital with this PT6 shirt on. Yes.

Pop a team six. Here we are, Mission, contain the chaos, Papa Team Six shirts. All the detail in here. You have the little bear with his little military helmet on with the sunglasses, a stogie in his mouth, bottle strapped to his chest, sitting on a cooler, grill in the background. What am I missing? It's got the little tongs, the little cooker tong deal boys, sitting on his shoulders.

He's got a coffee cup. He's got a binkie in his left hand. You can go cop these shirts. These are for the real sickos. These are for the real Papa Team Six members. That's how you support the boys BWTB.com There you go, Sherm.

Go ahead get a good look at our boy Sherm. Come on. Yeah, dude. That's on electric. What's up? That was it. I just wanted to pop the top. I wanted to support PT6.

I wanted to sport the new shirts. I'll support with you, brother. Let's go. Go ahead. Fill the space, though. Fill the space. So for listeners at home, this was my grand plan to just get with.

to take his shirt off on camera. I always find a way somehow to get either Taylor or Will to pop their top in some form of content. But to that exact point, I know we've touched on it already, but the amount of people that did send pictures in their PT6 shirts. Yeah. We freaking love it. And also reminder, you got a little tape right there, Sir Will, at the very top, boom baby.

send in dad content for the credits and I'll I will get a graphic to you a social graphic. I have a little template chef and I'll send that to you and we can post that as a nice little little reminder. Yeah. And what he's saying about that too at the end of every episode? We run a little roll credits of just dad highlights. The dad's out there in the wild. It's Papa Team 6 just air supporting in your videos, whether with your son, your daughter, maybe

it's photos, whatever it is. is we like to highlight it at the end of the episode. So if you want a chance to be featured on the show, that is another way outside of calling the hotline 601, the dads. There is another thing. We got a gift. Your boy got gifted. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

This glove, this Father's Day glove from the absolutely ridiculous team. And you're looking at this glove right now. I got a huge card from them because they're massive supporters of fatherhood and Papa Team 6. But it says, Will, as a proud father yourself, we wanted to gift you our Father's Day glove. This glove is made for the dads. The denim represents a dad's hard work designed to fray just like your dad's favorite pair of jeans. He won't retire. That's so sad.

The patch back here, the patch inspired by the classic blue jeans, Jackron? Yeah. Jacron? Jackron. Features a dad and son mowing the lawn. Dad with the real mower, son with the toy mower to represent the everyday influence and responsibility it is to be a dad. Absolutely ridiculous is the gallery of the artist. by X who created the iconic ice cream glove that is that this denim design is laid over.

And while we believe this glove will resonate with you, we love the opportunity to do a custom glove together. That is from Andrew Hook. I almost said Andrew Hooke. But from the absolutely ridiculous team. Shout out to you guys. Thank you so much for the glove. This glove rips.

I love the story behind the glove. But isn't that sick? Dude, that's really sick. And that last little piece of we'd love to do a custom. some glove with you guys. If you did a FTD themed, like something with the wolves on it. Oh my God. Maybe just the phrase good.

Right in the palm. Yeah. Good. And we can't just be shout out. You know, the majority of our listeners, we got dad listeners, we got mom listeners. But we can't, we can't forget about seed team six going through buds right now. Just had a fellow in. Don't want to, don't want to spoil her because we got things coming in the pipe with them.

We just had somebody visit the shop and he was talking about how he's part of Seed Team 6 right now. No, he's not. He's in Bud's training, breeding until dad status. I don't know if he's entered Bud's training just yet, but that's the conversation with him and his wife right now. Y'all have no idea. We need to clip this and go back to this because this is a we will. Huge get for Seed Team 6. We cannot spoil it right now.

Yeah, yeah. And even the Seaman Team 6 listeners out there. Like if you're just spraying lead for the level of, of the game. We know you're out there listening as well. What about those goon berets? Don't forget about those goon berets. Can't forget about the goon berets. For everybody who listened to the episode or watched the episode last week and learned what gooning was and the goon berets that are now their army has joined forces with Papa Team 6. We're building something special. We are. We're building something special and we would love for you to be a part of it.

Every time we talk crazy like that, I just, I enjoy thinking about the couple that you're sitting on the couch right now at home. Do you see the video? Yes. The dad tagged this in where he's got the little one laying down and he's like kind of scanning the whole room and he's got for the dad's on the TV. Yep. It juices me up.

That video. There's another video that I need to send to Shep of a husband that. So baby's on the way. I think it's in October and forgive me. We're DMing the other night. I need to send it to y'all. He's like filming the TV and then he just goes over to his wife. you can see she has this little tray with like all the prepping stuff for a baby that's on the way but she's sitting there with her little blanket on and she like gives a thumbs up and they're watching for the dads in the living room I'm like that's all time dude that's what you live for and it was the part of the episode that they're listening to was like right before we got into the gumbarais and I'm just dying in my head of what did that next 10 minutes look like it's like watching a movie with your parents and then like a scene that's super uncomfortable comes

on and then you're just you both act like you're just not why yeah phone comes out something like that yeah oh honey they uh how old are you sure 32 32 so you might have been part of the were you part of the era where titanic might have been your first boob and titanic comes on and that scene happens and you're kind of like you might be sitting there with mom and dad like acting like you don't know what you're seeing but you know what you're seeing but you don't know how you should act like you know what you're seeing oh yeah that double box set just staring at you you on the bookshelf.

it's been really good. As far as like energy, it does make me laugh of like all the worry and stuff that I have with sleep. And sleep is non-existent, but like it's weird how the body just kind of finds a, a way. I don't know. But I am trying to like take care of myself and like find those little pockets of sleep and stuff. But I'm somehow like fully energized when I'm up in like the late hours

of the morning with Scarlet and I'm having a blast, but I'm also miserable. Are you reminding yourself? Are you saying good? I'm saying good. I really am. Oh, we'll fall asleep. Good. I really am saying good. Beke not working. Good. Beaky not working. Good. Beeky not working. the second time. Good. Can you please stay asleep? No, you want to wake up right now. Good. Good.

We also use the Cotery wipes. And shout out Cotery. Love Cotery, but damn, the initial. When the little wiper bag gets a little light and you have to just start doing this. What the fuck? And then it pulls out two and I just want one of them. Now I've got to stuff another one back in there. Good.

Good. Good. And I'm. Operating on a whole other level, dude. I truly like want you and chef, not for content, but like I just want y'all to see me change a diaper, dude. I kind of want to show off for the boys. Yeah, like a little pit stop. Yes, dude.

And even if she gave me a blowout, like gave me something I've never seen before with you guys in the room, I would just be so calm, cool collected. I'd be like Paul Swan, dude, that whole changing team. Yeah. But give me whatever you got, Scarlet. I can't handle it. So Scotty's eight months, nine months. She's in that, she's in that range. That's when they get squirley, bro.

Yeah. Trying to roll, trying to get to their stomach and you're like, you're holding their leg as you're trying to, when you go back to that light wipes package example. And you're just like, Scotty, stay down. And then sometimes I'll just stop what I'm doing with that. And then I'll just hold her with both my hands, like on her chest and her stomach.

Dad is about to go potty. Do you want to come with me just in case you might have to? And she's like, no, no, no. And then when you get in the car, of course, when you get the car and you get strapped in, you start leaving, like within the first five minutes, she's talking about how she has to go potty. And this is actually when we were out in Canada, so we were on the shuttle. So the shuttle was going to be like an hour, hour and a half drive. And there ain't no stop it once you're on the shuttle.

Yeah, you want to keep the momentum going when you're on the shuttle. Yeah. And Ruth's starting to get upset. Her tummy hurts. her butt hurts. She's talking about her butt hurts because I guess the pressure she's feeling in her lower part of the stomach. And we're just trying to tell her like, hey, just go potty. I end up changing her on the shuttle to get her into a pull-up. Like, just go potty. And she's losing her mind because, you know, when they're potty trained, like, she'll wear a pull-up at nighttime.

Yeah. She doesn't like sleep through the night and not go, not go to the bathroom. But when she's like conscious, she's like, you know, it bothers her that she has to go pee. And so I'm like, hold her hand on my grip. She's crying. I'm just leaning up trying to talk to her. I'm like, hey, just let it flow. Just picture the water. Just stuff. to shh, I'm like next door here. I'm like, Dad-D-D-D-D-Dade I used to go potty all the time. Dad-Dade-Dade his pants until he was like 14. You're only cool if you pee your pants.

Yeah, you're only cool if you pee your pants. Dadda used to do it all the time. Didn't he, Nick, didn't he, Nick? And he's laughing. Nick truly was there to back the night up. Nick was there to witness like, yeah, your dad tits his pants for quite a while. He had a bit of a bed problem throughout his entire childhood. Eventually, she's talking about, no, I can't.

My butt hurts, my butter. I'm like, sweetheart. I'm like, as I'm like holding her hand, it's like she's on the hospital bed, giving birth. That's how she's like ripping my hand. Oh my God. She ends up going. And it was all great.

Good. But you're trying to talk them into, you're trying to talk them into just peeing their pants. Like, buddy, just let it flow. I'm telling you, she's like, it's going to be too much. It's going to come outside the pull up. No, it's not. These are coterie. These are coterie.

Yeah. It's a fancy. Sweeter, you sleep to the night. Probably peeed three times. Data spends that extra money. So you can't piss your pants. Yeah. I love you.

But life is good, bro. We're in a good little rhythm right now. We're gearing up for the football season. As you know, it's going to be a pretty loaded football season with bussing with the boys. But it's good, man. We're going to start school. That's going to be sad. It's going to be fun.

It's going to be great. But, man, that's sad to me. It's sad to me. Yeah, we've broughten it up before last week. I feel like we're going to keep on just bringing it up because that is, if not the biggest pillar. that is like, that's end all be all. It's first day of school pick, dude. Once they go to school, dude, they don't stop going to school until they graduate college.

Yeah. You're going to be going to all the teacher, parent teacher meetings. You're going to be going to all the elementary school graduations. Yeah. I'm excited for those things. But it's just like, it's just your first child going off to school for the first time. It's like, this is where it starts. This is where it all begins.

Yeah. The whole blink and you'll miss it thing. does hit with like this being the first month. That's crazy. Yeah. Like the fact that Scarlet's a month old is insane to me. Yeah. I'm already looking at pictures of her and going,

I don't like how much your cheeks have filled out. What the hell? Yeah. You're growing way too fast. I know. Hey, Scotty's at a great age right now because she's in like that eight, eight, nine month range where her, you know, her thighs. Her legs are getting chubby.

Uh-huh. She's like trying to stand and, like, trying to stand or trying to help her, you know, like move her legs. walk and she's all smiling yeah it's it's a it's i enjoy the uh i enjoy that age that eight nine months where they start you know you get to do more with them they're much more sturdy it probably happens or starts around like that six month mark yeah um but yeah man they grow quick god you see no photos we have any red comments by the oh gosh got to keep it under an hour Gotta keep out of an hour.

So we got off on a little tangent. I hope Papa Team 6 did not mind. In a good way. Okay, first one, Jacob Griffith. He asked, what branch of Papa Team 6 would a guy be that can't have kids? What branch would he be a part of? To that, I would say. He doesn't have kids.

Did he say if he has a wife and they're currently trying? He said that he can't have kids. He can't have kids. kids. Yes. So three options came to mind because I was like, I don't want I want Jacob feeling left out. One, Seaman Team 6. The obvious. He's spraying lead. Love of the game. Two, Goombarees. Yes, if he's committed to edging for the rest of time. You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely. You cannot just like lightly throw around the term gumbray. Right. That's true. That's true. But Goombay sounds fun.

It is fun. I saw somebody be like, hey, you should name Goon Bray's the Goon Platoon. Shout out that guy. Oh, my God. Third option is like some kind of adoption name. We got to have some kind of adoption name. If he has siblings, maybe he and they have kids, possibly Uncle Force. Yeah, we do.

Yeah, finding an uncle. Funcle Force? An uncle genre Because my mind was going to alright If it's like he can't have kids Because he's like shooting blanks It's like the Oh gosh

What's it called The Blank Brigade The Blanks Brigade The Blanks Brigade The Blanks Brigade Or yeah What is it The practice range

Or the firing range Yeah You could be like a A drill sergeant Yeah Yeah But yeah I was trying to think

of something we leave in the comments pt6 like some good wordplay for adoption parents too because I feel like we can't leave the adoption dads out yeah well if they're adoption dads they're part of papa team six yeah but like a father's but like a special like if they want like a special thing yeah but they are maybe it's a part of pop a team six yeah like an adoption patch we'll we gotta get her patches going there's so many ideas that we've been throwing around every week that I don't know if they're in production. And I have another one that I'm going to pitch for my survival kit. Okay.

There's a, hang on, can I read a comment? Absolutely. This one's from Anthony Al-Marez, V6H. Literally, every time anything goes wrong and I get pissed, I sit back and say to myself, good, every single time. Left out loud. Gives me a whole new perspective on things and lightens the moment up, whatever it may be, going to get my PT6 gear.

I love this pot so much. I love that all of us are just trying to figure it out. Sherma is hilarious and is a fan favorite now. Keep it pushing, boys. I dig it. Wow. Shout out Tony. Shout out Anthony.

Anthony, thank you for the kind words, dude. Another person sent a DM. I need to find that DM and send it to Chef. He was in the hospital with his wife. She had to go into C-section, not emergency C-section, but I had to go into C-section. And he said she quite literally from listening to the podcast when they heard the news she was going into C-section, she looked at them and said, good. How legendary is that? He sent me a video too, they had some For the Dad's merch.

And he was like, honey, I'm sending this for the dads. He's like, what do we say? And she just in the background just goes, good. And a deep voice. I love that. Legendary. Here's a nice one that I'm sure we both kind of fantasize. about out while we're sitting at home, but it says, proud.

This from Josh Kraus. Proud member of PT6 can't wait for the day when the boys host a PT6 meetup and the community can come together and talk fatherhood over a couple cold ones. Keep on, keeping on. Yo. Have you thought about that in your spare time when you're dadden? No. And the opportunities are endless, dude.

Oh, they really are. That's what honestly juices me up about this show and the brand in the community is. there's no shortage of ideas with where we could go with this show. Yo. That would be, I was thinking for like Father's Day and I was like, no, you'd want to spend that with your family as soon as you said that. True, but also Father's Day is about what the dads want to do. True. This could be a block of time.

Two, three hours maybe. Yeah. Or maybe you spend the first half of the day with the fam. And you just show up in like socks and crocs or socks and sandals, jewelry. P-T-6 shirt, and you just have a bunch of sickos, essentially, meeting up with each other. Hear me out. Would it work to be during a sporting event, like an NFL Sunday? That way you're cooking right now, chef. Go watch football.

Captain of ST6. Yeah, dude. I like that idea. Or even the sounds here in Nashville, like they have a bunch of stuff that's, like, fun for the kids during the baseball games. I bet they have like a kid's night or you know face painting night or something that you could or maybe some PT6 members we just go bowling. I love bowling. Just just bowl just run out rent out the entire place.

Just invite PT6 come bowl. I love bowling and I love that idea. Oh my God. Are you a good bowling? Uh, hit miss. I took bowling in college, believe it or not. That's sick. My senior year, I graduated early and you just needed like, I need.

needed nine credited hours and stay eligible for my last year in Nebraska. One was an online course. Love it. Another one was like insect biology. Boom. And then on Tuesdays and Thursdays bowling. We go and bowling. It's like Tuesdays and Thursdays.

So that's like a two to three hour class. We're just going in the mornings and you just bowl it up. A little known fact. I've turned into somewhat of a Nebraska sicko with this guy. Y'all were recently national champions. Oh, buddy. You want a bowl? You go through Nebraska.

You go to Nebraska. You want bowling in your future. you get ready because Nebraska has the greatest bowling team, I think of all time. They're crazy good. What? Is it sanctioned by the NCAA? Oh, yeah, buddy. We're talking maybe double-digit national titles.

It's like how- Look that up. You look that up. It's bowling for Nebraska and then meat judging for Texas Tech. Those are like-meat. Meat judging. Explain that. Meat judges.

So they'll bring in. So we talk in red meat? We're talking red meat. We're talking meat meat. Red meat. Okay. And they. bring in a slab and it's like, okay, first identify the cut.

I could be way off, but I believe this is what it is. Identify the cut, okay? It's a bone in, rabbi. What's the grading system? Like what, you know, is this prime? Is this blah, blah, blah. They have to do all these types of grading where essentially they tell the judges everything they need to know about the cut of beef.

People might be wondering too, like, what does this have to do with fatherhood or being for the dad? If your child has a future in bowling potentially, you look at the University of Nebraska. All dads, I think, understand the stakes when it comes to meat judging. Free school is free school. Free school is free school. What are we doing? If your dad out there, you know how important it is to know your way around a piece of meat.

A cut of meat. God, that would be so epic to be a national champion. Six national champions. Six, okay. I was a few off. I was a little off. That's okay. Several off.

Six is still. We are that team. I have CDT, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Pro tip shirm. After applying the diaper rash cream, wipe your finger off on the inside of the clean diaper that you're about to put on. Finger is clean and it's a little extra backup cream inside the diaper.

That's a great dad hack. That was a good dad hack. My wife told me that one last night. Really? Yeah. Well, just more of like lotion, like, yeah, lotion, I guess even inside the crack. But just lotioning, you get it on your hands instead of wipe it on your pants, just wipe it off on the diaper or the new diaper. And that's a great dad hack. That's a great dad hack. And shout up to CDT because he obviously was listening all the way through the episode.

We didn't even reference that until almost the end of the episode. That's a good dad hack. Good dad hack. Here's one I want to correct, okay? Okay. Because what we're not going to do in the community is make anybody feel less than. Sit back down. But we had Jeff Byrne 6853 a couple days ago say 72 hours until 2002.

Thanks for the motivation, fellas. And somebody replied to his comment, JM for me too. And all he replied was, I got 2002. Just support your wife. You're in for it. That's not bringing anything down. But I don't like the angling of just you're just, you're just, just throwing advice at him. When he's like, I got 72 hours until 2002, that dad needs support,

not being told what to do exactly. Does that make sense? That may, hey, that makes sense. We're here to support. That makes sense. Maybe he meant it. Now that I'm reading it out loud, maybe he's like, he's like, he's like, just support your wife. Maybe he was getting a tip. But when I saw he had a reply, I'm like, okay, dad's in here engaging. But when he just says, hey, here, do this versus, is hey, here's something that think about. You know what I mean? I think it's the framing.

He's coming on just to leave a comment. Hey, buddy, I fucking love you. Just be there for your wife. How about you put that next time, dude? Yeah. Dude, I'm so stoked for you, man. 202. It's a grind, but you're going to love it.

Be there for your wife. You're going to crush it. Maybe something like that. Maybe when you comment, oh, Sherman only has a one month old, what kind of advice is he going to get? Exactly. We don't need that.

shit oh my god i love it i love it and hey it's it's up to the author where his heart was when he wrote that yeah again now that i'm saying that point stands we want to make sure the comments there's a support and you see you see any bad slander in them comments you bet your ass we need tt6 on top of it we need the goon berets on top of them too because it starts getting sideways Goon Platoon, please step in. Did you see that a young man, I'm assuming an adolescent, came in my comment section when I dropped that video talking about how my wife almost lost her life last week

after making an off-end comment during the mountain hike and where she's like, you have the easy job. You know how we do it around this brand and within For the Dads and within Bussing with the Boys, we have a little fun on social media. But some young adolescent, Tim Ryan was like, you're so cool. Fuck off, man.

This is weird. I said, I said, bitch, shut up and watch it again. Drop the video again. Somebody who commented under that because he recommitted to you

and somebody commented under him and said, watch it a third time. Yeah, watch it a third time. PT6 was coming for him. So much that like, this dude he turned off his, he turned off his replies

because PT6 was ratioing him. That's what I'm talking about. Also, the guy that called you out for 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. And 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 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 Clay. Listen, Lina 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.

Hey, I'm Jordanano. You might know me as

that loud guy who yells out, help on the internet. Help! Somebody! Please! But there's so much more to me I'm an actor. I'm a comedian, and recently I've become quite the helper myself. And on my new podcast, Hope from a Hypocrite, I'll be changing lives, helping people in need with my sage advice and thoughtful solutions. Sike, I'm a comedian. I'm not qualified to give good advice. Join me and my comedian friends as we riff, rant, recommend some of the most legally dubious advice known to man. If I'm calling you, even if you're on your phone, let it ring twice. One ring is too scary.

Cream a chicken suit. Hey, cream. Cream a chicken suit. This is Help from a Hypocrite, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know. Listen to Help from Hypocrat as part of the Mike Coutura podcast network available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You're a fake, you're not

friends with Travis Kelsey. Yeah, he tried, but check out the newest bus scenes. We're dapping up and hugging pretty strong. That hug's crazy. Yeah. I got one from Mav Bison Ridge. Boys, we got to get a 601 the dad shirt going. I liked that idea. I liked that idea. You got to think how much of a demand would there be for 601 the dads?

I do like the promotion. The promotion aspect of it. It also does promote. Yeah. Hey, need some dad advice? call 601 the dads. We definitely need a 601 to that sign for the set somewhere.

Oh, it's smart, chef. Yeah. That's why you're a new hire. I've got to come in with some ideas. And speaking of, my last comment from comedian Discovery, congrats, Chef Jack, carrying the show, big contract offer,

congrats on the bag. Very nice. I want to say sorry to that guy that came after on the reply comment. Now that we went through that, I'm thinking maybe he was just saying just support your wife, which is great advice. But I'm just thinking, my man, he was just coming in there. He's excited. 72 hours until 202.

Probably looking for some camaraderie, some vibes. We talk about it on the show. Congratulations, man. You're going to be in for one. It's going to be great. But I would take this moment to say sorry to my fellow Papa Seal out there. Yeah, if he's a Papa Seal. Here's the deal.

Two hundred two years. about to see. I'm sorry again. Will, here's the deal. You get a lot of negative comments throughout the week. Yeah. And so you can read in a certain voice what somebody's saying. And maybe you just read it wrong. Yeah.

And hey, maybe he is a jackass. It's like that Key and Peel sketch where the guys are texting and they're saying like that one guy's reading it a certain way and the others, please tell me you guys have seen that. I think I have. I think I have. Yeah. I would have to get. Should we go Bolington tonight? And the guy's like, sure. And he's like, sure. And he starts reading it one way and they get like really pissed off.

Oh, we're watching that. Yeah, yeah. I like how we've been resurfacing some key and peel. Also, now you know how I feel with what I said in our team meeting yesterday. Buddy, that again, I told you you don't have to say sorry. And that's what I'm saying to you. You expose yourself that you weren't paying attention at the top of the meeting. Couldn't agree more.

Couldn't agree more. That wasn't misinterpretating anything. It was, you asked that question in front of the team. Hey, why are we doing this again? I mean, I might as well just walked halfway into a movie and gone, why is the, why the fuck is, why the fuck is, but at that point, that's not walking it halfway into a movie. That's you watching the entire movie. And in the middle of it, you're just saying, why is he doing this?

You're saying, why do you do that again? I mentally walked into the movie. And your wife's telling you, well, if you weren't on your phone and you were paying attention, you would know why they're doing that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But at the beginning of the movie, they just talk. They're talking. I didn't like that.

So, no need to apologize. No need to apologize. Oh, oh, oh, for you. Okay, understood. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I have another one. Agro, um, Agro, um, Agro vibes. Anyway, future PT6 member here, I've got three months of Buds training until I graduate

to PT6. Super stoked. We'll be calling in from the delivery room and holly hospital once our little guy is here. Love the show. Love you all. And thanks for making a great pod. That's gas. That's gas. And a sicko move to call in.

He does. I will say this. Agro vibes, 9365. Continue to comment and remind us because we need Chef to be able to find that voicemail when you do, when you hit that call in. And you might have to start too, based on your username, maybe you don't like putting your name out there,

but just say your first name. at the end of your comments. So we know when we can be prepared three months from now, when we're in the middle of football season, in the middle of chaos, in the middle of freedom that we can remember to play your voicemail. And if you're on Instagram or Twitter, you could DM Jack, you could DM Will or myself and just be like, yo, this is my phone number. That way we know, okay, that's the phone number. We'll look out for that on For the Dyes. Yeah, I can add it as a contact on the phone, which would help a lot. Let's go. I love that.

Caleb Boone, he's got a full one on here, but the one that caught me attention is his P.S. down at the bottom, thinking of getting the words good put up in the nursery to remind us during every blowout, endless crying and sleepless nights. This is all just an opportunity to get better. I love that idea of having a good sign. Maybe you just got Jocko Willing. Maybe we should make a sign. But you have a Jocko willing just artwork sitting up there and it's just good. I'm obsessed with that idea. That would be huge. Yeah.

We need to give one for the set. I was just about to say, or for the set. 601. Dads and now, good, good. Because the good thing is really catching on, on socials. Yeah, it's just, yeah, it's helped us. I know it helps us immensely anytime we're gooning late night on PubG. It's so weird to say that the goon now. We just goon, baby.

But when we're playing video games and we're telling each other our stories and we're just kind of reminding ourselves good. I don't know if we ever talked about it, that video that I put out where I was on the toilet. And I was like going through it. I was going through it. But what made that moment so great is that when I sat on that toilet and I'm running through everything in my life that is just what the fuck? Sideways.

I truly laughed and I said, got to film it. Got to put it on social media because good. Good. And he got me in a good headspace. And everybody's commenting good, good, good underneath it. And it's like, yeah, this is life. Where you know? We interrupt this episode because we are sponsored by Roe.

I feel like I already know Like they're a good fam. Good fame. And you're blessing the Youngs, dude. That's unreal. You're blessing the Youngs, dude. Ehe-he-he-he.

Well, Skars-Scar is going to be ripping. What age is that? Probably zero to three. Ain't no way. Six to 12. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're holding that up. Ain't no way.

Oh, yeah. Scars-scar's going to fit that thing. Yeah. That is big. God, she's going to be ripping some toots in that. Ripping some shits. well thank you showboat um you're gonna rip your dad loss i can rip my dead loss yeah uh my dad loss this week is very quick uh i can go first uh the burps and the spitups i got i got to get better at

the burps uh we did get some little medicine to help scarlet uh for the bedtime feeds that we like put a little bit into a syringe and put it in her mouth to help with the gas um but i just got to dial in the burping, dude. I'm not, I'm not burping well enough. I feel like I'm getting it down now, but we've just been coming in probably like three, two or three in the morning. She's just got these pools of formula next to her in the crib. I'm like, God, dang it, dude. I feel like so bad. I'm like, that's my fault. I didn't burp her well enough. And Joe, you're not getting it out of it. Yeah. Jill's in there and going, no, you can only control what you can control. Like, you know, something is going on, whether it's the formula or whatever, we're

feeding her too much. Like, you can't always control it because I will get good burps out of her. Don't beat yourself up. Yeah, but it's a dad loss nonetheless. You're right. At the same time, oh, Scarlett is in a pool of milk. Good. Good. Dad got like four huge burps out of you and you still vombed half your feed. Yeah. Now you're starving, even though I fed you like a hour ago. Good. Wife's getting on you. Good. Good. You're talking to yourself very badly. Good. Good. Room for improvement. Better self-talk. Yeah. My dad loss, not a huge one. I think this is just good for the dads out there because I get a, I don't get in a bad hat, I don't get in a bad head space, but it's, it's nothing that I feel like.

Like the male population and Papa Team 6 is accustomed to when it gets brought up. But embracing family photos before the family photos start. Because once you're in it, you're taking the photos. You're having fun. You're having a great time. Yeah. But leading up to it, when the wife brings up, hey, I want to do some family photos. And usually my first thing is, all right, you want to do a couple hours of family photos?

Or if we're on a trip, I know we were trying to, the wives were wanting to find somebody out in Canada. We never got to go in. Charles actually brought her own camera. That camera's cool about it. Yeah, because we ended up getting, we ended up doing a little family, family photo session when we were down in Florida. But my first inclination every time is resistance

and poor body language. And yeah, I mean, if we can make it work, instead of like enthusiasm, because every time we get the photos back and now I look back and have them, I'm very happy that I have them. It's just, it's getting my mindset into,

seeking out we should do family photos. Like a challenge to myself is almost beating her to the punch of like, hey, we should do family photos. Yes. That would really throw her for a loop. I was just about to say, imagine the spin zone when she goes, we need to do family photos.

And honey, I was Googling earlier this incredible lookout spot. I think it would be perfect for it. Let me make sure and see if it's open today. I'm going to text her right now and say, we should do some family photos this fall. We'll get the leaf piles in the background We'll even get waffle in it I think it would be really fun

She's gonna dig this dude And shout out Boom boom I just hit her with it We should do some family photos this fall I cannot wait to see the response on that You know what I would love to do But it's like all right

This is too selfish But also I think necessary This is a family photo shooting Nebraska gear Dude you have to do that Charles not a Husker though She's a Terp That's okay But get some turp stuff too

And do Nebraska and Terps shoot She's not like bawed in like that For the Terps you know what I mean It ain't like if Maryland plays Nebraska Neither was my mom On the Vols I need a converter Just full on Husker like sweetheart come on

Did she cheer for the Terps? That's a good question She cheered at Washington I think she cheered for the Terps. Yes. Okay. So like there's some pride in there. I do you not remember. I do not know. She did cheer for the Terps. She did. Yes. Okay. The one of my favorite family photos of my brother and I is my mom graduated from Alabama. We're just in, she bought us full helmet and pads. We're like four and eight. And we're in full Alabama pads in the front yard. It's incredible, dude. I love that. Get the little

cheerleader outfits for the girls. girls. Yeah. You throw on your 51, just be right next to them. Just, my dad, that played for Nebraska. Yeah, he did, honey. Yeah. Yeah, your old man did. Used to play. How about crack a cold one? You got a crack a cold one. I got a couple crack a cold ones. Oh. And one I'm going to shout out is I'm going to shout out coach drink. Oh, yes. From Missou, the head coach of Missou. hit me up he shot me a DM on on Twitter on Sunday and he said I saw where you were talking about the five types of wealth book it's incredible I've been sending and sharing with my friends and coaches

all summer keep pounding keep pounding those messages our kids are a short time I'm not sure if you can make it out in the photo he sent me this photo of his desk and he's got this little sticky note and it says um but it has my life razor because if you read the book five types of wealth it's like find your life's razor. And his is I will take my kids to school. And it's a promise to myself that once a week during season and every day possible in the off season, I'm taking them to school.

And if I can't, we start over. But I thought that was sick. That's so legendary. Head coach of Mizzou. I like to think he's watching the show in his office, but maybe he's just catching the clips. Either way, it doesn't matter. It warm my heart to get it, receive a message

from a Division I head coach that is like, He's like, yo, I'm about this. Check this out. I want to send you a photo on his own. I thought that was really cool. That's incredible. And the more and more that these coaches interact with you guys, it's making my Saturdays really hard because then there's another reason to cheer for the Tigers.

Yes. I mean, that's the home state school. Yeah, yeah. So there's always like a little bit of like, I'm watching what they do. But you know, I'm a Husker through and through. I'm wanting to place a bed or something. I'm watching the game. I'm like, oh, but I can't cheer against him.

You send a really nice DM to Will. Damn it. You want to hear of a dad W I just caught? Yeah. Charles just responded. I thought I'd never hear you say that. Brother, you just flipped her entire universe. That's how it's done, boys.

And that's how it's done. Hey, yo. A little extra juice. A little celebratory, too. A little celebratory too. I'm caffeinated to the fullest right now. You've been seeing me rip this form energy, but this is like my, not third cup of coffee,

but this is like my third caffeinated drink. Yeah, this is my second form. So I'm juiced up. Caffeine has consumed Will Compton. Will Compton has not consumed caffeine. So they're getting my best right now. Good. Good.

What's your other crack of coal ones? I kind of want to save it to the end right now because I think it's cool. I think it's sick and I think people will dig it. Okay, cool. I have a really quick crackicle one. and then we actually have a listener crack a cold one. All right, just time.

Yeah, time, time. Keep it under an hour. Mine's very quick. It's just falling in love with Scarlet more and more each day. That's literally it. At first she's making the little squealing noises and I'm like, no, what the fuck is? Is something wrong with her? Why she's making those noises?

Now when I'm hearing the from outside of her nursery, I'm like, that's my little songbird. She's singing in there. That's my girl. That fires me up, man. Because it truly, and every parent knows, it just gets better and better. I feel like I'm getting to know her more. Yeah.

Like I don't know how to describe it. We can't even talk. But it's like that look that she's given me now while I'm feeding her feels different and I can't describe it. I'm like, you're actually looking at me right now. Like you're not, this is different than when you used to look at me.

Like, she's noticing you. She's recognizing you. you and in due time when she's looking you and you're approaching her in the mornings when you walk in that room it's like with little scotty joe in the mornings when we go in her room to get her if i'll go in a room to get her out of the crib and they're just awakened it just has the biggest smile on their face to see you and it is so cool when i go home and i see her and i'm like and she issues me a massive smile she might be on the ground trying to like army crawled at me or if she's like kind of sit and you place her sitting she'll just start like just getting high she's going to be

two in army crawling gosh man i love it um okay for the call in uh for our crack a cold one here we go we have a call in for a crack a cold one yeah the listener so yeah sorry yeah yeah listener crack a cold one and he called in here we go with our what's going on fellas uh thank you for the show It's inspiring. I'm a first time father of a five-month-old. And listening to you guys every day is just, it's incredible. Like I said, it's really inspiring. I have a very rare, I think it's a crack in a cold one.

We moved from an apartment to a house. And I had the moving company in the crib, and I had to disassemble the crib and then reassemble it back at, you know, the new house, which was a fucking nightmare to itself. I was scared shitless. I asked for the directions. I always keep a bag of directions for stuff. And, of course, that's the one that's missing in the move.

So she's like, you got to build this crib before he gets back from grandmas. And he has to, like, continue effortlessly into his routine. And so the pressure's on. I mean, I am away at Penn State during a whiteout. Mo Bamba is playing in the bat. I'm kicking a 50-yard field goal. And it gunned to my head, put this thing back together. I download all these PDFs.

I do paint in reverse. The kid's back. Easy transition. He goes right to sleep. Crib is built. Wife is happy. Crack a cold, one of that. One of my few dad victories of this past five months,

but I can hang my hat on that pretty proudly. Thanks for everything you guys do. I love listening. Keep it up. Keep it under an hour. And yeah, thank you again. This is Popper Team 6, baby. Out.

I go. That might need to be, so we have Scrilla is like when you're getting in the zone. Yeah. For tuckings. But the first time I listen to this, I would love to add into the lore of our college football comparison of when you are in the shit and it's bad. And you know it's bad, but it's good. Throw on Mo Bamba. Let that away crowd.

let them get loud. And that's a great point because Moamba's playing when kickoff's about to happen. You just gave up six. You just gave up a score. Good. You gave up a touchdown.

We're trying to get the juices back. Good. Coach looked at you. You're about to go out for a kick return. He looked at you. We need a big one. Yeah. And you're just back there all by yourself.

Yep. I got, but if you're pregame or you're about to go up for bed, time and you're trying to juice yourself up, it's... Won't play it too long. Don't... I know we got the copyright stuff.

Don't want to play it too long. God, that gets me juice, dude. Not too long. I'm still gonna have to mute it. You say you're still gonna have to mute it? You can't even tease it? Maybe. I'll see what YouTube...

I have no clue how that works. She walks by the bathroom in the hallway and you're just... She was like, getting up a bottle, she's like, what are you doing? Oh, getting ready for bedtime. I was warming up a bottle, honey. I'm sorry. I love you. Oh, you know what we need to do.

We need to make a video where we're just like, we got the music playing. And while we're theming up, we're putting on the eye black before we go up for bedtime. Dude. And then we just make a highlight reel of knocking out bedtime routine. Dude. That's, hey, we need to do that for these as like a little promo. for the PT6 shirts that could be a promo

God that's I got ice in my veins though that's not like a drug thing yeah dude family show just a couple of family show that's ice in my veins

yeah just like whoa whoa whoa family show if it's anything it's colostrum that we're putting in yes

yes colostrum make us better and I believe that that was in a anonymous, Colin? Yes. Yes. It was anonymous.

But shout out that guy. We can still reach out to him and get merched to. 100%. Okay. Yeah, yeah. The phone. Sorry. Oh, yeah.

I blanked. I was like, how are we going to do that if it's anonymous? Since we're on the theme of Dad Hacks, yeah? Wait, wait, wait. That was crack a cold. That was crack a colon. That's okay. Let's go into Dad Hacks.

We're on a roll. Yeah, that's going to the sideline. Hey, that one that's on me. that one's on me let me keep the green dot please I didn't mean it but if you're talking about a military unit there's not many times you can say my bad

there's not many times you can just say that's my bad you might have one if you're lucky there's only so many dead bodies and tell you. Hey buddy what are we doing? Papa team six we cannot have too many my bads now yeah yeah do many I'll get you kill

take us into dad hacks I was done with crack a cold one if you were and then we can come back to what are the odds Great, great. Dad hack this week here's one that comes from a commenter on YouTube. This is from McCray Moorehouse, 601. My fellow PT-Sixers, I've got a dad hack for everyone that my family now does. Traveling with kids can be tough.

What we implemented has been any long car rights for vacations. We travel at night. We drove eight hours for our vacation and started the trip at 7 p.m. So a one and a half-year-old only had an hour in the car. before they were knocked out the entire car ride. It's a game changer because now you get to listen to the songs or podcasts that you want to listen to instead of spamming the same song over and over for eight hours. You don't have to listen to them, scream every minute, and you look at your wife and think

you are going to go insane if they don't shut up. It will be tough to stay awake, but as a PT6, you have been through way worse. That's game right there because he's right, man. You do got to spam the same song for basically the entire trip. If you're lucky, you're driving, A, I'm going to throw in an air pod. I'm going to throw in a headphone only in one ear so I can listen to my own thing because I'll throw it in my ear like on the left ear as I'm driving.

Room might be back right. Yeah, the back seat to the right side. So we'll put all the sound into where she is. So it's like, you know, the sound gets away from you as much as possible. Yeah. If she wants this certain song over and over and over. over. But that's a great dad hack. That is a OG Papa Shirm dad hack too. If my dad's listening right now, he's like, yeah, he's like, yes, sir. He's putting up the scrylla right now.

But yeah, the road trips to Florida back in the day from Texas, that's a nice 12 hours, leave at the crack of dawn. Drive through the night. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Eliminate, do whatever you can to try and eliminate the chaos. Yes, too. It could ensue in the car. That is a genius dad hack And we got a little bit of a curveball for you later With the call-ins Because he got another travel Uh

calling and seeking advice But a little bit different scenario Okay He's not gonna be able to travel at night So we'll see how that goes Okay My dad hack also comes from a listener This comes from Dagan

Dagan Garrity He had three dad hacks for us First one is being present is better than being perfect. He said he grew up in a home without a father. And so going into being a father, he just wanted perfection. And he said,

it's not always going to be perfect, learn that really quickly. And just being there for when whatever happens, that's what's really needed. So I love that lesson. That's more of like a lesson at the end of the show than a dad hack. Just wait for these next two.

He's on one, on one. less impulsive and more intentional with our words. When you're in the heat of a struggle, you're in the heat of babies crying, Wrigley's barking, you know your boy was impulsive and spanking that dog, getting mad.

You're not fit to hold our daughter. I mean, I blew it. What did you say to her when she said that? You know what I said. What did you say? I said, bitch. I said, give me my daughter. I say, give me my daughter.

Yeah, but you said. I said, bitch. I said it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said it. No, oh my God. I would have been in the Motel 6 so fast. But yeah, he was just like, hey, be less impulsive and be intentional with your words.

Like, whatever it comes to mind in those heat of the moments, like really think about what you're about to say, how that's going to affect your wife, what your kids are going to see when they, you know, hear that or see that. which I thought was great. And then this is the best one of all. He said, whenever your wife comes to you with an issue, and it's like a really, you can tell it's really bothering her, hit her with a, do you want comfort or a solution before she goes into the whole spiel?

Because maybe she just wants to tell you how much it sucks. And she just wants you to sit there and listen. She doesn't need you to solve the problem. She just needs to be heard in the moment. And I was like, man, Jill, that happens a lot with Jill where like she doesn't want the answer she doesn't want me trying to figure it out

she just wants me to hear how hard her day at work was so I thought those were some great Oh those were bars Those were those were into the show quotes lessons Oh yeah 1,000% He killed it

So I really don't even have a dad hack for this week I just I read those and I was like DM Dagan I said brother you're my dad hack this week So that's it Those are good Those are good. There's a dad hack that I have. And it, you'll, as Scarlett gets older,

and for the parents out there that might have toddlers or they remember the toddler years, their memory is really good at like remembering stories, like remembering what you say. And when, you know, Rue starts getting in the, just all of a sudden it's, uh, I want to see mama. I want to give mama one more hug or she kind of starts not losing it a little bit, but losing it a little bit. Yeah. I want something, I want to eat a dessert, sweetheart.

You already had your dinner. I want another snack. Or they start kind of spasm. One thing I did recently that worked was like changing a word in a book that she knows. Because then she wants to correct you back. Like, no, Daddy, it's not the sand. It's the beach. At the beach, you're right.

And then I'll just continue to read. And I'll like change one word every now and then because she'll start laughing. She's like, no, Dadda, it's not that. It's this. I'm like, oh my gosh. How did you know that and not me? Dad, that's so silly. And then it completely refocused him and reset her on just storytime and reading the book.

Like just stay in, stay in the cadence. I really do love that dad hack. But dude, I just have to bring up, I don't think that's normal. Like, I think Rue has really good memory. I think she does have very good memory. But again, this is just me. It's a great dad hack. I only really know my child.

You know what I mean? I don't know if it's like, I feel like kids have great memories because they can pull stuff that you're just surprised about. But as far as like understanding books and everything else, I do feel like Rue has a pretty, a pretty like a bear trap of a memory right now. Unreal. And that was less of, sorry if that came across as me diminishing the dad hack,

it was more of gassing up Rue of like, her memory is insane, dude. That's impressive. I want to see what that develops into. Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited. To know the difference in one word in a book is like, Like, that's awesome.

But that is my dad hack. Let's go. Change the wordage up. Changes the story up a little bit. See if they're paying attention. See if they've been paying attention. Put some food in front of me and you know what happens. Just to get, just the course correct too.

If it's like the train is getting off the tracks a little bit just to get it back on. Just like just a quick one to get him giggling. Something that they know. You're like, oh, this happened. No, dad, dad. That's not what happened. Then she's not worried about going to hug mama or get the snack. Yeah.

Because at times when I was reading, it was back when she'd pick the ones that are like bigger. Now, she's been pretty solid thus far. Fancy Nancy, if it's a new one, if it's a new one on Fancy Nancy, to where it's a little bit longer. And she doesn't necessarily recognize everything. I'll try and like skip a paragraph or two so I can get through the book. You know what I mean, a little quicker. But if I forget something that she's aware of, she's like, no, Daddy, you forgot this part. Do you skip pages ever?

I've tried, yeah. There's this one, this one like Dr. book it's like 70 something pages like they're quick they're like short couple liners but it's 70 something pages bro that's 70 pages is crazy I don't care how many words are on the page 70's a lot of pages I'll try when I get home I'll try to find that one and send it to you to let you know

hey buddy hey careful on this one careful on this one's got some banging not this one yeah yeah but you brought up one thing oh my gosh you were talking about oh the listeners at home dude They want to update on Fancy Nancy. What about her?

How did that go? Apparently you got a new Fancy Nancy book. Roo came home with six books and two of them were Fancy Nancy. And what's your reaction when you see that? Son of a bitch. I'll like say, she's like, did that. I want to show you the books. Okay, show me the books.

And she'll start showing me like, oh my gosh, Lily and Milo. This looks awesome. Angelina Ballerina. Yeah, maybe a frozen. Oh my gosh. just looks like so much fun. I know you're going to love this one and then she'll start show me Fancy Nancy and like, oh, Fancy Nancy and I just look over at my wife. Oh, Fancy Nancy. Oh, two Fancy Nancies. Oh, a second's fancy Nancy.

Charles loving it. Loving it. Oh, Fancy News. I'm sorry about the Fancy Nancy, dude. I saw that quote graphic and died laughing. Yeah. You know. But there are some good book recommendations out there. I do want to get that Jocka Willing series that people talk about. But I did see it's like it could be for a few years older. Maybe she's not there yet. I haven't dove in to actually research the books. But a lot of good book recs out there.

Yeah. I think it'd be fun if, if, for the dads, wrote a little children's book. Hey, we had a little, we had a little combo. Just a little combo. Nothing crazy. Nothing crazy. But a combo. We had a little bit.

conversation. That's it. That's all we're saying. What are the odds? Yes. Can I take a, can I take a quick potty break? I'll go potty too. We'll call five. Back from potty break. Do you have to go potty? Maybe yes, maybe no. Why don't you sit and try to go? What? Is that an original? No, that's Daniel Tiger. Oh, yeah. We've heard about Daniel Tiger. We've heard about, We've heard about old DT. I got a little...

Good show. Good show. Yeah, yeah. I cannot wait for that part, too, of, like, when she's starting to watch shows and all that. Man, yeah. Because, to me, they're, like, Roos obsessed with Little Bear, but I'm excited as we navigate. Like, I want to get her on the Star Wars wave. Because they have the animated Star Wars.

I haven't watched it. I'm a big fan, big consumer of Star Wars content, but I haven't watched the animated stuff, like, on the Disney app, on the Disney channel. And they got the, like, really, really little kids. stuff now too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that would be really cool. They'll be fun. I think that'd be really cool. I do have a good what are the odds. Let's hear it. It is in reference to the PT6 shirts. BWTB.com. BWTB.com. More importantly, what are the odds? Thank you, Fandul. This week's comes from John Seminoe. This is a listener, what are the odds?

John A. John reached out to me on Wednesday when the episode last week where we were, or, yeah, last week where we're like, hey, shirts are coming out the following day. He said, Sherm, I know shirts are coming out the following day. Is there any way that I could order the shirt today because Wi-Fi gets induced on Sunday and I got to have that PT6 shirt when I'm walking out of the hospital with baby girl? So what's the what are the odds question? What are the odds that I can get the shirt? What are the odds that he got the shirt on time and got the pick. Odds I'm placing at plus 400.

Buddy, plus 10,000. He got the shirt. He got the pick. Send it to us. Go ahead, chef, pull that pickup. PT6 shirt came in time. He ordered it on Thursday. Is he the one that posted the photo of him walking out of the hospital?

Yes, dude. That's him. What a legend. Because I remember thinking like, damn, he got that shirt, fast, wear his my shirt. He got it. Yeah, he must have paid something, something expediting, but and he had a... So he just did it on the site, or were you able to communicate with somebody?

He did it on the site. He did on the site. That was the boys at Showboat, the warehouse killing it. Showboat killing it. Shout out G, shout out Alex, everybody. But we would have loved to have gotten our shirts. We got them. We got them, baby. Just keep complaining. It'd be nice

to have the shirts as we're dropping the shirts. Hey, but that fires me up, though. That's sick. That's cool. And he had that middle hat. I thought you're going to tell me you worked the back channels and got it out to him. That was going to be the legendary. But you're right. If it's waiting until the site drops, that is plus, I don't know about 10,000, but that's plus thousand at least. Oh, yeah. That was awesome. Yeah. I thought you were going to say you pulled out. You made an X play.

Oh, me getting it to him? Hit up G, hit up Alex. Like, can we get my man a shirt? And we got to get this guy. It's my dad. Yeah. This is for my dad. Should we dive into Survival Kit, what you should have or equip yourself with? I would love that. In your little toolbox.

Yes. My Survival Kit, shout out this week's, goes to a couple companies, but it's these monthly subscriptions that send you some toys. So this one, the one that we use, are the one that we've had experience with

is Love Every, play kits and books every two to three months, every two to three months. with where they're at an age. And then another one we have a little bit of experience with is KiwiCo. They send you projects. They send projects to you every month for all different ages. So you get like a different project to mess with.

Love Every is more like, I would say like, you know, play toys, like things that help with your development and curiosity. They're both companies good at brain building, development, discovery. But I love the I love the one where you get it every two or three months. There's like some toys and books in there that you're like pumped for. And then with Kiwiko, they send projects that your kids are like working on. So I thought, I think those things are awesome. We love sponsors.

Any future sponsors out there. If you could sponsor us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We would gas you up all that time. We love to use brands that we use. I looked at KiwiCo's site. It looks really, really cool. It looks very fun.

Dude. The little things that they're sending, I'm like, they did not. have this back in the 90s or you know 80s whatever when we were growing up yeah it feels like it's getting popular too because i was hearing uh i was hearing clump talk about he's like oh we do we do kiwi co they send again it's like for different ages too so they might be in a different stage like zero to three three to six whatever it is but if you go on their site you can see it all you can shop it but if you if you're in the subscription you'll get a different project for your kids to kind of formulate and figure out every month which i think is dope and it adds a layer of fun from

hearing you talk about it and shout out Jeremy, shout out his kids, Brady, JJ, Aubrey of how much anticipation his kids have for that package to come in. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, did it come? Did it come? Yeah, because Rue's not at that age yet to where it's like she's aware. It's almost like, hey, another, you know, another present came in the mail from KiwiCo or

Love Everee. You know what I mean? It's a box and she's excited to open the box. But to where they're older and they're anticipating, hey, has it come yet? has it come yet. That'll be fun. But yeah, that's my survival kit. Those are my survival kit recommendations right there.

One, great survival kit. Two, I'm excited to implement that myself. I need to get on that train. Three, I have a survival kit that might piss you off. Because it's not tangible. It's not real yet. And you're like, Sherman, chef,

we got to get the ball rolling. We got to make these things that we keep on talking about for the store, for PT6, etc. I digress. So this is going to be something that we should do. Yes. Let's add it to the list. Let's add it under an hour. Gotta keep it under an hour.

I'll keep it quick. Burp cloth. Good. Oh. That didn't piss me off. That excited me. To quote Will Compton. Buddy.

Buddy. Buddy. Buddy. And J.P. Certainly knows what I'm talking about because the burp cloth with good on it. Oh. When my dad lost the spitups, dude. And I pulled the burp cloth with good on it.

There's no way I'm going into that with a negative attitude. I'm like, good. Or when it kind of falls off your shoulder, or if you forget to put it on, especially with my, with the second one with Scotty, I forget to put it on with Scotty. Because you get a little, you know, you get a little, you get a little loose with your routine with the second kid comes. Like Rue would have the little, not the scarf, but the bandana around her neck. So when she spits up, she's not like spitting up on her outfit. Yeah.

Yep. Yep. So that way you can just kind of clean that or you let that drives, but the outfit is saved. And then I would, you know, obviously be doing the burp cloth. But with Scotty, I've got a little lazier to not having the burp cloth because you're saying, oh, I'm going to burp. And then she's just, she's puking all over you. Oh, yeah. And I'm just like, I'm doing this to myself.

But if I look over and I see the good. burp cloth hanging versus like damn it scotty like that's why'd you have to do that to your old man that is the exact situation that that was the inception of this idea was i was in that recliner with uh scarlet and i just got done feeding i'm okay i need burp cloth because she's about to spit up if i don't get her vertical where is it where is it where shit i just got to put her on me and then i look over at the changing table and it's just sitting there staring at me

the burp cloth. And imagine if it had said good. And it's just, because when you look at the burp cloth in your moment, you're just like, mother, you kind of like rip the burp cloth off or something. Like you just want to punish the burp cloth

because for whatever reason it didn't make your way on its shoulder. You're kind of blaming the burp cloth. Well, and it was all the way across the room. My recliner is across the room from the changing table. So it was truly staring at me where I was like, but your idea and you see it hanging there, you look at it and you kind of,

to just grin like, yeah, you know what, good. Yeah. This should have happened. Yeah. I don't know. I love it. I'm throwing it out there, dude. We'll make it.

We'll make it. Patches, shirts. Blankets. Blankets. Posters. Books. Burnt Claws. We make those with the list of things that we haven't made yet that is in pre-production,

pre-production to the pre-production. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can I add to it? for the patches issue because what are we going to do the patches with we should make a backpack like a parent style backpack I don't know there's specific ones with straps on the back that people

can put patches so when we sell patches we also have a for the dad's backpack for whatever reasons you may need one if you're going on a trip or something like that you know what scares me about these good ideas can I ideas are a dime a dozen it's people

who execute on ideas is. And we're throwing out so many like this might create urgency for somebody else to get these ideas rolling. We can bleep that one now. We can. We don't have to bleep it. We want people to know that at least we're thinking about them.

We're coming up with it. You know what I mean? Not coming up with it. Because again, everybody's got these ideas, but it's the squads who execute on them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we have to execute. We have to execute. That's on the to-do list.

I thought Captain and Seaman Team 6 was going to say. we're talking about burp claws he's talking about he's talking about like comrades or something it can work for that too I think that'd be great I think that'd be great same in team six we got a product for you guys as well the goon berets are sitting there going

hell yeah rag rag that says good she didn't come over tonight good didn't close her at the bar good mom comes over to the apartment Oh, you got a little mitten thing for the oven. Yeah, mom. It's exactly what it is.

Don't touch that. Let me see that. Yeah. The goon berets. Yeah, the goon berets, dude. But yes, that was my survival cave. We did what are the odds? We did dad hacks, crack a cold one and dad losses, which means it's time for our call-in,

601, the dads. Will Compton, are you ready? I believe so as ready as I can be We got a banger right off the start And you've heard them Yeah I've heard these Bum bum

Let me play it Missed him good Good Good What's going out That was uh thank you for the show That was the wrong one Hey boys

This is Patrick from Phoenix Arizona That's not the right one either That's not the right one either I thought we're going with our reoccurring, our first reoccurring guess. Handed up on that. Can we get this right? Hand up on that one. No, hand up on that one.

Sherman saved it wrong. And great, great point. Keeping it under an hour as usual. I got hose calling on the mother phone. You're going to be pumped up for this one, Will. Boys, I'm back. It's your mate Nathan from down under. Nathan!

And very proud, first friend of the show. Yeah, first off, Shammy, a massive congrats to you and the misses on the new bundle of joy. Seriously, mate, soak it all in, the late nights, the cuddles, the baby smells. And that feeling when they fall asleep on your chest, nothing beats it, mate.

Best time of your life right now. Nothing beating, mate. Now, boys, I'm getting a little bit worried about my Princess Ivory. Not because she's doing anything bad, But because this little legend has already figured out the ancient island manipulation, Obi-1 canobi type stuff, Jedi mind tricks. Oh no.

Now, she's only three and already knows how to read me like a book. She'll be walking past the toy section at the shops and be like, Daddy, I don't have this snow white dress. And look, they have my size, size three. Can I get it? I'll do very good listening from now on, please. And then there you go. Another dress added to the collection,

even though she hadn't listened to me for the whole day. Then the other day she wanted a chocky just before dinner Chucky, I don't know if you like say Chucky or chocolate Anyway, Chucky's a chocolate I said no Hey, hang on, what do you say, chocolate? Chucky. A chucky, which means chocolate.

I'm writing that one down. A chucky means chocolate. She said, Dad, I want a chucky. Dad, I want a chucky. I am doing my best down here. She pauses. Down here. Looks up me with those big blue eyes and says, Daddy,

I just love you. I'm thinking, what's that got to do with bloody chockies? But I gave it to her anyway. Because honestly, I don't know if I was being played or if she's just a genius. She's got this little smirk she pulls when she knows she's in charge. And I'm just a bloke driving around. Buying princess dresses, princess this, princess that. My wife just sits there shaking her head like, you're hopeless.

And she's right. I am hopeless. But she's right. But I'm head over heels for this little lady I help create. So yeah, boys, pray for me down. I'm already losing the battles and she hasn't even started school yet. Do this what three looks like?

I'm bloody terrified of 13. But hey, wouldn't trade it for the world. She's got me wrapped up, stitched up, and smiling every day. Being a girl dad might send me bloody broke, but I've never been richer at heart. Cheers, Legends.

I'll talk to you soon. Oh, it warms my heart, dude. Bro, guys. And he's right, bro. Rue just randomly saying, Dad, Dad. And I'm like, Ruru, and she's like, I love you. And I think to myself, has she figured out a genuine way of communication that she just knows that dad loves to hear that?

Or is there something coming down the pipe for a snack or a Chucky? Has it happened yet? Snacks, absolutely. Or a tree. She goes, like, chocolate would be a dead kind of a tree. But they're master manipulators. Yeah, they are, dude. Mine can't even talk yet.

And if I knew what she wanted in the slide as she would have it. In five seconds, she would have it. It's tough, buddy. I'm telling you right now, that kind of cookie. No, sweetheart. You can't. If I'm in front of mom, no, I told you you can't have a cookie. And Sam, I go back to the pantry.

And I'm not laying out. And I'm like, do you really? Break off a little piece. Do you really? I've done that one time. Yeah. I've done that one time. Does she love it?

Yeah. And I'm like, because they got loose lips now. Yeah, yeah, they do. Dad, Dad gave me a Chucky. Yeah. Well, he wasn't supposed to do that. Yeah. Either Rue is lying or Will went behind my back.

Yeah, yeah. Can I also, can you pull up this picture of Nathan? Yeah. I want to show you Nathan, dude. He sends a picture with his daughter. Oh, my gosh. What a legend. Dude, he's a legend.

And he is, I'd like to say set up for success. but like all of us girl dads, man, we're doomed. They got us wrapped around their finger, bro. Look at this dress. Oh, it's in my size. That is crazy. That sounds like that's Jill right now. Yeah.

I love it. Yeah. Nathan, thank you for calling in. Nathan, we love you, bro. Thank you for calling in. It's great to hear your voice. That Australian accent just brightens my day. She's going to run me bloody broke.

Yeah. Everything he says, I just like, I want Nathan's voice for myself. He kind of sounds like Corg from the Thor movies. He does, dude. He does. And that guy's New Zealand. Type T. Yes.

He's a soft New Zealand voice. Have you heard his accent? Probably. I've seen Thor. You said Thor? He's in Thor Ragnarok, so the third one. Okay. I'll show you a video after.

He's someone that talks like this. It's like kind of similar. kind of Polynesian... That's what I'm saying. If I saw it, I think I would know it. But yeah, that voice is all time. All time. All time.

Great for the listeners. Thank you, Nathan. Thank you, Nathan. And a good reminder, 601, the dads at gmail.com. You can send in a voice memo. Also, if our voicemail is clogged over the weekend, just a shout-out reminder,

you can text 601 the dads a voice memo. Because sometimes we're out of the office. is the 601 dads, like, there's a lot of call-ins. Yeah. It'll get plugged. Send us a voice memo. Send us a voice memo. And we will play it.

Second dad call. Second dad call. Hey, boys. This is Patrick from Phoenix, Arizona, 26-year-old girl dad. She's 16 months right now. But my wife and I have a big trip coming up in October where we're doing an international mission to England. And frankly, not concerned about when we get it.

there. There'll be plenty of stuff to occupy here when we're there, plenty of parks, etc. What I'm concerned about is transportation. We've got an 11-hour flight there and back, and I am worried that our little soldier is not going to be able to, A, sleep or B, stay occupied enough where mom and dad do not tear each other's hair out because we're arguing the entire flight because we haven't slept, slash aren't comfortable. So appreciate any tips or tricks for those long flights because right now that is the part that is terrifying us the most so appreciate it boys congratulations chef on the full-time offer and keep your head up shirm those first few weeks are tough try and get those two and a half hour sleep blocks that you can when you're

what i got through the night cheers boys thank it's quite literally what i got last night his name peter p p p p peter p yeah i wish i had some good advice for you um look this is one of those things man when the chaos is ensuing because it will at some point I remember when we flew to Italy and the way there Rue was pretty good

Rue was pretty good and the way we travel now like when we flew to Canada and back and I mean that's only a four or five hour flight we flew to Hawaii that's like six seven hours we did with both kiddos when they're young they're easier but man if they're awake and rolling it's like our entire backpack survival kit

is the toys stuff that kind of keeps her occupied. On the flight to Canada, we had, like, you know, crowns and coloring out for, like, blueie. She's got a little coloring book with Bluey. Yeah, yeah. Or, like, the little sticker books that you saw Rue play with.

Oh, yeah. Like, the clear stickers where you can kind of remove them, put them back on everywhere. Yep, those are big. Just keeping them busy. She's got a little, like, we call it a laptop, but a little, like, pink thing that flips up and you can play, like, little, little, like, keyboard games.

Just keeping them busy. Because we don't, we, we, we, we don't, we, we don't do, like, a screen or anything yet. So we don't have like an iPad or nothing that they can watch. I feel like that would relieve a lot of headaches. But we're doing our best to kind of prolong that. Prolong that as long as we can. I think we'll do the same. Yeah. But just, dude, keep them busy. Maybe they want to walk up and down the aisles and you'll be out walking up and down the aisles. I don't know if he said the age of his kid. I don't know either, but it sounded like it is first time traveling this amount of distance with

the child. I want to say like 18 months or something like that. Okay, okay. So Rue was around 18 months when we went to Italy. Again, going there, it wasn't terrible. On the way back. Oh, no. Nightmare.

On the way back, nightmare. Fortunately, we were flying back and we had a lot of travel like the day of. We had to take a, we had to take a boat. What do they call that transportation? Like when you're getting on the road. Yeah, we had to take a ferry early in the morning. to get to one spot. We flew up to London, I believe, and then London to America.

But the London to America won, we were all pretty solid getting to London and everything else. She started to get a little fussy when we're at the London airport. But then when we flew to America, we were delayed an hour on the tarmac, but Rue was already at a 10, like getting on, whether she was overtired, over-stimulated, whatever it was. And this was a full-blown, body stiff, screaming, couldn't get her, calm down and sitting around everybody it was um that was a test yeah that was a true test because it again your anxiety is high especially if it's your first time of traveling around two with the

kiddos like it was still early in the game for us too as far as traveling that was our first big travel and you're just so conscious you feel like everybody's staring at you and you're just in it bro and you're just like please rude just call you couldn't do nothing to get her calm down you know what I mean, I give those routine fussing and everything else. Or, 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 podcast. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts.

We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should. call it. And, 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. Genshin win. I mean, she went down in three to Roebuckina, but I'm delighted. 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. 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.

Like it wasn't a routine one. This one was full blown. We need air support and we need air support now. Fortunately, there was somebody sitting next to me who's a big fan of bus and he was wearing an SR Stevenson Ranch hat.

No way. And they were flying back to go back to their kids, their little one, their baby that they hadn't seen in a couple weeks. So they were stoked. They totally got it. But that was the trip where I told you some old man. Some old man in the back. I had him go wham, win, win, win.

No. Buddy. No. Buddy. I was... We don't need that shit. We don't need that shit. I was so fucking mad, bro.

And I'm thinking to myself, this fucking guy, I look, I didn't know who it was. And I just stood up and turned around in the back and was just kind of like grazing across whoever could have been. Because I'm thinking maybe they'll think twice if they look at this physique or this stature. Because I'm ready to go in the A gap right now, Oklahoma drill right in the eye. aisle of the airplane. But nobody spoke up. I didn't figure out who it was. From what I heard, it could have been somebody, you know, had a bit of, had a screw loose or something.

A word got around. They got back to you. Yeah. Because I was trying to figure it out. Hey, who, who says something back there? They didn't realize 2016, Captain? They didn't realize. He didn't realize they had a Husker on the plane.

Good Lord. I, dude, that, you're just not scared. Like, I told you this before. You're not scared of that anymore. Like, Scarlett has trained me to where I'm not scared of that reaction. Right, let's get in the phone booth. Yeah. Like, I've seen worse, buddy.

I'm not too worried about it. We're walking Scarlett out of the parking garage. Instead of going up the stair, it was like two flights of stairs to leave the parking garage or just go out the ramp that the cars drive in, obviously to the side so the cars can still drive in, and we're pushing stroller. And as I'm pushing stroller, this car behind us is riding us.

Did not have to ride us at all. Could have swerved around. And she pulls up next to Jill and I in Scarlet and just goes, that's not an exit, that's not an exit, like screaming it. But with window up,

which was weird. Yeah. And literally in my brain, I was like, I'm not afraid of you. I've seen so much worse. You should have seen the diaper I changed this morning. Yeah.

Not worry about it. The darkness that fills your soul when it's something like that happens, because you're not expecting it. The parent is already going through a lot on it because they want the kid to calm down too and they already feel bad to the kid, you know. It's like they want the kid to be quiet too. We're doing our best to quiet them down. But to hear somebody go whin, win, win, when.

And it's like, buddy, you get up and you peacock a little bit. Like, my man, I will be on you like a pit bull. bull on a squeaky toy. We won't end this one quick. No, I did one of those like, say I'm sitting in my chair. Okay. And I pulled up out here, wham, wan, wan. I was like, what?

You kind of like get up like this. And I'm just kind of like gazing around a little bit. I wish I could have just made eye contact with him. You know what I mean? Just like look him dead in his eyes. See that dart. He would have darted quick. Can I ask you a moral conundrum?

Can you hit the kid with a Benny as you're getting on the plane? Little Benadryl? Oh, I have no clue. Possibly. We used to do that with the dogs when we were growing up, like traveling. It's a great question for the comments for the parents out there. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

That's what it came to my mind. I was like, oh, big flight. Tranclize them. Trank them. Which is like, I know people are going to be like, yo, that's. the pill call that people take to go to sleep? Oh, Unisome or Motrin?

No, not Molterian. Ambien. Oh, Ambien's like, You're like, Hey, this might be a weird question. Can I drop some Benny in it? What would you? You know, like Benadry or something. Could you maybe crush some, what's it called again? What about Ambien? Yeah, could you crush them ambient and put it in their milk?

They're just up sleepwalking on the plate. You're like, you should do ambient. I don't want to make you feel bad about this question. You just wake up in the middle of the flight, like with the international ones, they turn off all the lights. You just see Rood just standing in the aisle like a zombie.

Like the girl from, what is it, ring? Yes, she's at the end of the aisle just. Honey, honey, come, get back here. No, don't touch her, don't touch her. She's on 25 milligrams. She's ambient. You don't want to touch it. Trust me.

Oh, dear. Could you give her a, like, a gummy with like five grams, T.A.C. She needs an upper now. We got to get it going. Y'all got some Kool-Aid? Is there any research on taking an indica, like a gummy, and you give him a gummy or something? Or is it Sittivan?

Which one is, what's going to, like, you know, kind of wake her up? But keep her chill. Hey, sweet I don't tell your mother. Do not do this. This is not an expert. This is we're having fun right now. We're having fun. We're having fun.

We would not do that. But maybe Benadryl. Moving on. Hey, what's up, boys? My name is Andrew calling in. Papa Team 1. Papa, the numbers in the call sign can mean different roles on the team. so I'll assume the number one, Papa Team 1 calling in.

Father of two, two boys, little frat house at home. Got a question for you. My son is very into monster jam trucks. He particularly likes Meglodon, which is pretty badass. But if you had to choose a monster jam truck, which one would you be? All right, boys, appreciate the podcast. Keep doing the whole.

Lord's work. I tell you what, Sherman, I don't know if you're a monster truck guy. This one's out of my wheelhouse. Megalodon, that sounds like a badass truck. I want to say back in the day when I was a young buck running around, Bigfoot, I believe was a monster truck.

And a gravedigger? Grave digger, yes. That would be my personal favorite. Megalodon. If you could pull us up. It sounds like the one. Look at that bad boy. Yeah.

Megalodon. know his boys are just losing it at the TV screen to Megalodon. Bigfoot Monster Truck. Dad, Dad, Dad. Turn it up. Turn it up. Oh, dude. What I would pay to go to a monster truck rally. We should go next time they're in Nashville. Bigfoot is a monster truck widely considered the first of its kind. Ooh.

What else is it saying about it? Pretty, you know, you're pretty standard looking monster truck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It ain't no Megalodon. And then what was the other one? Grave digger? Grave digger monster truck. Grave digger is...

That's the goat. That's the goat. And it's like a purple and green, right? Oh, that's a cool one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, Grave diggers, what's up? I didn't do any monster truck driving except for the Nintendo 64 game

where you have like the machine guns and everything on your... You would like fight other cars. Yeah. I forget the name of that game. They do backflips. Have your, like, those... monster truck jam shows. They tour, so they'll be in Nashville like once a year.

And these things come out and they do these jumps that are like, they do these 50 foot clearing jumps and they do backflips and all these cool tricks and stuff. Damn. And it actually looks fine. Never been, but I've had buddies that have gone. Yeah, we don't get to. That's cool. Oh, that's cool going to a monster truck show.

We're going to like the nutcracker and shit ballet. Fuck, this seems cooler. What if that was, what was that? What if that was the? FTD meetup. A monster truck rally? Hey, sweetheart, we got this Papa Team 6. We got this Pete D6 meetup.

You dad and a bunch of the boys. Just tailgate a monster truck rally? Put these headphones on. You got the massive headphones. Hey, Rue, look, look. It's Megalindon. You're going to love it. Roo probably would love it, though.

I feel like... Especially if there's an Elsa monster truck out there. We get a frozen, maybe taffidi. Well, just tell her that the megaladon is, what's his name that changes into all the animals he can change it to? Maui. Maui. Just be like, honey, that's Maui. He's changing to a megaladon.

What can I say? You're welcome. Look at that. Oh, my God. Oh, that's funny. I do love that, though. Hey, what was his name? He does.

Maui does change into a shark in the movie. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm talking about. JP. JP, that's what I'm talking about. What were you going to say? I was just going to say to like on that call, Will, do you ever, with two daughters,

do you ever hear stories from your buddies like Nick who has a boy and stuff and they go do stuff that's like very boyish? And is there a party that's like, that'd be sick. And I know that you have a great time with your daughters and stuff. Yeah, you want to open up a word of me wanting a boy. Which is okay. Look, I'm William Royal Compton the third. I'd love to have a fourth. When's part four coming?

I don't know, man. What's part four coming? I don't know. We're open to it. I want it for y'all. I want it for Taylor's kind of, you know, jokingly or not, he's made comments about wanting a boy. Yeah.

It's, it's a risk, boys. I'm at a place where, if I have two daughters, I think I'm going to be very happy with two daughters, two girls. Before, listen, when I was on Seaman Team Six and C team six and I was entering in Bud's training, the thought was I could just get a boy. I'm good with two boys and a boy, but I got to have a boy. However, if I pop off two girls off the rip, I might have to retire because you risk, remember my rant last week about getting. surrounded by the estrogen.

Then you're outnumbered. Their periods sink up. And then you just become neutered as a male. And I think if you risk the third girl, I think it's inevitable at that point. I think at that point it's like, we'll have to do this podcast forever. Yeah.

Because this might be the only space that I can talk or feel safe. You can bro out. Yeah. I already got my first taste of it today because I posted that college football's back. Sydney Sweeney video. Oh my God, that's such a good one.

Did you see Jill's comment on it? No. She said not this year. Me and Scarlet got the controller. You're outnumbered, buddy. That's what I'm saying. That's when you got to go home and you got to maybe get physical.

And that's when you say good because you have YouTube TV on your phone. Let me talk to you. When I'm trying to be funny or crack a joke on the internet, the last thing I need is you comment telling me I'm outnumbered. Sweetar, you don't have the gods.

She does have the cards. And then somebody's commenting, oh, Sherman, is that your wife's robe? And you comment underneath it, a thousand percent. Last thing I need. Last thing I need. Yeah, buddy, it's one of those things, man. Again, we are open to it. We're dabbling back and close on the idea number three.

None of us are no. It's just, it's extremely risky for your boy. I would love to have a guess. that is a boy dad because I feel like it's obviously but it's a total different mindset like I feel like I've had to get into the mindset of girl dad I feel like boy dad's a totally different mindset just seeing like Jeremy in the office with his boys yeah um and how much JJ just like reminds me of Jeremy like he laughs exactly like him yeah talks exactly like him Yeah.

It is truly monkey see monkey do. And I feel like it puts the pressure on those boy dads that much more of like, I can't be acting up because this kid's just going to do exactly what I'm doing. Yeah. So to answer your question, chef. Yeah. I mean, what I love for Rue to be the first Mike linebacker in Nebraska as a female. First Mike linebacker meeting him in the A-gap.

is it cool that other dads with their sons like Nick his boys playing T-ball I'm like that's sick Roo could play T-ball You know what I mean Yeah

You gotta find your wins And be optimistic Where you can be optimistic There's gonna be a lot of fun things That I get to be involved With Rue Yeah But for it to be

The heir to the throne I feel like it kind of set you up On that one a little bit Yeah it's okay It's okay That's what this show's all about Yeah It's a safe space

It's a safe space, dude. And there are a lot for the girl dads out there that might be asking themselves the same question. There are so many sports. They're unisex. It's crazy when I was really thinking about it looking into it that you can play with your daughter. I want Rue to get into flag football. Dude, flag football, women's flag football is sick, dude. It's sick.

She might have the feet. It's an Olympic sport. I know. Roo's coming up. Dad, dad, dad, dad. Look at my gold medal. Yeah. I do think she's going to be, I think she's going to be an athlete. Not like, not like I'm saying like she's going to be a great athlete.

I'm saying I think she is into sports. I think she'll be into sports. Do you know how many times she said, watch this? Chom, tell him. Oh. Watch this. And then we just jump off furniture. She's got it in her. She was hitting spins this morning and she had to make sure everybody was watching. Dad, that watched me. Mama, you watch me.

Aji, watch me. Is Scottie watching me? Sweetheart, everybody's watching you. Waffle. Waffle, come in here. Waffle. Everybody watching. Hit your spin. Oh! Now, hey, this is not a challenge. This is just, I think it would be good prep for Rue. It sounds like she's ready for a home crowd.

She likes eyes on her. She likes the cheers. She's a performer, yeah. Is she ready for the away crowd? I think you throw on some Obamba, you flood some crowd noise in there, and then have her hit her spins. See how she does. Yeah.

Against that wide out Penn State away crowd. Sort of put this eye black on. The environment's going to change a little bit. Please do a video of her to Mo Baba doing her ballet spins, dude. Okay. I'll get that. All right, honey. When I get home.

You got to hit it. I got hose calling just the first lyrics. Sweet, I sweet. She doesn't know what that mean. of topic quote or lesson of the week. I have a very short one that I can throw out there if yours is longer or whatever. I don't have a longer one. Mine was going to be if you don't do the small things well,

they'll never trust you to do the big things. Remember that and everything you do matters act accordingly. And then another one, that one on Instagram I got again, see, He'll Bloom. Shout out the voice of Hill Bloom. This one is from, We underscore Nurture. Everything you do for your child at bedtime, like that second or third tuck in,

the stories you read, the times you fall asleep next to them, to them, the exhaustion. It matters more than you can imagine because one day they will go to bed on their own, they'll shut the door and turn off the lights themselves, and you will be the one standing in the hallway like me, remembering the nights you were needed so deeply. Who was that from?

That was from the Instagram account. We underscore nurture. That's sick. That's a great one. Even when I got into those last two lines, it wasn't close, but I felt the change of emotion that was happening that kind of makes you want to tear up. Because that is, that's a great reminder. One thing I did, too, that I was going to show is like a dad hack.

Let me see here Voice memos Why doesn't voice memos Pop up when I type it in on the search Is this your own voice memo? This is my own voice memo that I did That I would recommend To the parents out there

Let's see your utilities voice memos To hear a voice memo of Will from the past It ain't of me Oh It was I was sitting there This was back when we went on a daddy daughter date Myself and my and my boy

We took our daughters it was for Roo's birthday, for Roo's third birthday. We took them to a Pred's game. And then that night, I put her to bed. Yeah. And we were talking about the night and recap and everything else. But we have our little good night routine.

And I recorded it because I'm thinking to myself, I want to do it more, but it's like recording their little voice that I'm going to have for the rest of time. And so a dad hack is record your little one, whatever it is, having a conversation with them. But hopefully you can hear it. I'll come over there.

All right, it's been a minute That's what you're going to sleep okay, baby Bro Just hearing that I've been listening to it in a while But that's unreal That's awesome That's awesome Great dad hack.

And I've already experienced what the wellness people, the nurture of, I was coming off my night shift. And I went and to go wake up Jill like around 5 a.m. for her shift to start. And Jill pulled up the Nuna app or whatever we have. Nanit. And I heard Scarlett crying. And I was like, no, no, that ain't right. Like, I'm not finishing my shift like that. Like, I didn't do something right on tuckins.

I got to go fix that. And just going back in there the second time to like do it right. And I ended up saying in there for like an extra 30 minutes, just seeing an Edelweiser. And God, I loved it. I was like, I'm so glad I went back. I could have just totally, Jill was already getting up. You know. Yeah.

She's got it. I cannot wait for her to be able to talk, dude. I'm going to be dead meat. And look at those eyes, chef. You talk about mine? Yes, dude. Oh, stop. I'm going to be cooked.

I'm fired up that I have that. Yes, dude. And I can just hear in her voice. She sounds younger. You know what I mean? She did. Like, that was, what five months ago

four or five months ago record your little one dude I was that your lesson is going back no no okay I was just saying that's great I mean that's great too to that quote it's like you're going to miss those like times where they needed you or whatever

and I was like in that time I did have like a selfish mind frame of I'm tired as fuck and it's technically I'm off the clock it's mom's time yeah but I was like no I want to go do that right. Like I didn't do something right with tuck-ins because she's flossing. Like let's set mom up for success.

Let's go set Scarlet up for success. It was totally worth it. It's totally worth it. So, yeah. Drop us your lesson. My lesson very quickly. Is it a quote, something you came across? A topic.

A topic, okay. It's a topic. We have talked about this openly. quite often therapy. I started doing therapy in 2017. For myself, it was kind of like a life coach therapist that helps you with figuring out your professional life if you're like, oh, what do I do after college?

But I also have like other things emotionally to work through. Was very nervous and kind of like scared to get into it. And, dude, I have benefited so much off a therapy. It's crazy with that therapist back in Texas. Saw him for like almost five years on and off. But just started seeing a therapist here in Nashville because it was something that I really wanted to get back into, almost like an accountability buddy of just somebody to talk to. I know therapy is not for everyone.

This is not me pushing it on anybody. But just like having that person that you're able to talk through your frustrations, but also like game planning for I know that my stresses and my worries and anxieties and responsibilities are only going to grow. And just trying to set myself up for success for life of really just like whatever it throws at me. And I had my first therapy session with this new therapist earlier this week. It was phenomenal, dude. It was just phenomenal. Like, walked out of it already with like two little nuggets of, man, I got to go home and go make.

We talked about doing like our four pillars of like social work, family and Sherman. Of like how are we going to pour into all those and make sure that nobody. and your life is feeling like they're not getting enough, that it's a healthy balance of wife's happy, family's happy, works happy, you're happy. How do we achieve that? Which, I don't know, short little lesson, but it's just something that's very important to me.

I have had a lot of growth from that. And face down some stuff that I didn't even know I really had issues with or needed to talk about with the therapy that I did back. in Texas. So it was awesome. That's incredible. I love that. I, you know, I enjoy therapy as well. Charles and I, we did couples therapy for a long time. We haven't been, we haven't been in a couple months, but we did it before we got married. We did it after, after we were married. And I've just always found a lot of good benefit from it. I've yet to do like a one-on-one, which I would love to do.

But I've always enjoyed therapy. And again, I know you say it's not for everybody. It's not like I'm sitting here pushing it. It's something if people were curious about it, it's something I would recommend because it helps you just get out of your own way. Talk through, you know, you do the whole feelings thing. And I get the feelings thing can be repetitive. But at times when you hear yourself talk or they throw a question at you and your guard's down. You're not sitting, you know, if you're arguing with your wife or you're arguing with somebody and you're trying to talk through something. That guard that would be up when you're talking through something with somebody, you might be having a healthy debate or a bad debate.

or an argument. It's like there's a guard there that is up. And when you're sitting there with somebody else, a therapist, a third party that has zero buy-in on your life other than their own expertise on the whole thing or their own just sitting there listening and giving you different ways to think about things. Yeah.

It helps you get out of your own way and see things what you're upset about or what you're going through for what they are. Or maybe you need to be pouring more like grieving or emotional stuff into or give that some space or give that some time. It's like there's a quote. It's hard to read the directions when you're inside the box.

And I feel like sitting with the therapist gives you that third party that zoomed out perspective. And again, if it's with your spouse, like having more experience with couples therapy, you're able to talk about things that you wouldn't necessarily, you wouldn't be equipped to at first. Or we weren't equipped to at first of understanding the why he's behind. We were butting heads on certain things. Yes, dude. And my therapist back in Texas was, he was like in his early 60s, probably late 50s when I first started seeing him. And it truly felt like a badass third party dad that's really just there to help you to be able to solve your own problems.

Yeah. Yes. They're not sitting there giving you answers. No. They're kind of like weirdly gaming you to talk through what your issues are. Yes. And it's funny when you eventually. eventually like started, you told me for the first time that you were like doing couple's therapy. It is funny when you like do meet people, talk to people or they're like talking about frustrations or how to problem solve and blah, blah, blah.

You can almost kind of pick up of like, yo, Will's got some game. Just hearing you talk about something at the office that there was some kind of thing to like maneuver through and I'm trying to do this with it. You're like, oh man, he's really like he's processing this. And he's thinking about how he's going to go through the situation or communicate this to somebody. Like you can almost pick up on those like, and that guy's probably doing like some kind of, you know, reading books or therapy or whatever. So I think it's just like it's a great thing to have in your arsenal. Yeah, absolutely. I love that.

Appreciate you for sharing. Cool, dude. Thank you for letting me share. I know you had mentioned when we were on the video game. It's just so funny. Which is also cathartic. Yeah. When we were on the headset, we were on the game together, dropping on the mainland.

You had mentioned that you were like, hey, I found somebody. I found a therapist. Yeah, yeah. Hype for you. Because I personally enjoy it. I would love to explore like a one-on-one type of situation because I think it is healthy to have, especially if you've got a lot of different shit going on. you're saying they're all you it seems like you care about this oh i don't care about that too much it's

like oh body language what you're saying or lack of saying yeah let's dive into that the way that you wanted to jump off of that really quick yeah lets me know maybe you do care a lot about it or they like they hit you with something you're like i don't know and it's as simply as pretend that you do know to again put words behind the i don't know that's great challenge you to let's say you did know What do you think it would be? That's really good. Yeah. I'm unsure on how to say it.

Let's pretend like you did know how to say it. How would you say about that? Yeah. Yeah. And I'll have it too. Like I'll be sitting there. You might be trying to solve some problem. I'm like, what?

Like, what would, what's the answer here? And a lot of the times it's like the metaphor I try using is like, you have answer written on a piece of paper. and you're wanting to circle the answer, but there's no, circling. It's like, no, there's an answer there, but it's up to you to figure out what that is. Like, they're not there to give you what that answer is. They could talk about different angles. Yeah.

It's like, what should we do? Like, okay, I'll give you a couple angles on how to maybe go about it. But you're trying to problem solve way too much. Put the pin down. We're not here to problem solve. I just, just the other day, called a really close friend back in Texas. And not that I don't have really close friends here, but a lot of my close friends, they're back in Texas.

And I need some advice for a situation and just talking on the phone with them for 45 minutes while I was walking the dogs and coming to the realization of, I made too big of a deal out of this and I don't really need to do anything in this situation. I just need to talk to somebody about it. Yeah, yeah.

And now it's done. I'm not worried about it anymore. I love that. I love that. Also, bro, my seven kill games. game. I wish Papa Team 6 could have witnessed this seven kill game that you have. Shurm, you good over there? What the fuck's going on of it?

Buddy, I was a witness. I was a witness watching you mow these cats down. And as chef, I'm telling you right now, I was in awe, even when it's happening. I started just firing the gun to pretend I was involved in. Shurms out here wrecking these dudes on Pub G for people that don't know. For people that don't know what PubG is, you might, like on a good game and you get a chicken dinner. Maybe that two to four kill range for your squad, Sherman is mowing these dudes down. Mowing them. The amount of heat that was coming off of my body after that game, Will said, do you even remember what happened?

And I started laughing. I swear he blacked out. Like it was just him versus the Taliban. Rambo? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I ain't shitting you.

And Will just on combs Shirm, shirm, where are they sure? Hey, sure, shirm, I'm not saying a word. Yeah, no, you wouldn't say nothing. I'm just, dot, dot, dot. Where are you seeing that? I think I think I just got to go on. He's down.

Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.

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

podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are? I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do.

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed.

And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit season two is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.
