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

Today is a very special day. Today is the day we have our very first guest on For The Dead's. Dad's. He's a PT-Sixer. I'll get to, listen, if you haven't followed our socials, our socials app for the Dad's Pod, if you've been on those, you know who the guest is going to be, but if not, I'm going to keep you hanging for a little bit longer. I hope your power is back on. I hope your trash is taken out. It is, we're recording because we're going to the Super Bowl next week. I know by the time this drops, we had to back love this one. Yep. But right now it is January 30th. It's a Friday. Yep. We're on day six right now of no power. Fortunately,

the power is on to the shop. It just went out when we were five minutes ago. minutes ago when we were about eight minutes deep of this episode we're going to try and recreate the energy because again optimism yeah yeah yeah yeah but our guests that we have on today he's a special one he's a special boy a rumored sicko a rumored sicko three-time pro bowler 10 years in the NFL you know him from busting with the boys Michigan man you know from ESPN you know him from Michigan and you also know him as an all-time dad of two beautiful girls Winning Willow at P.T. Sickos, give it up in the comments for Taylor Lawan. Thank you.

Thank you. You like that introduction? I like it so nice. We did it twice, buddy. Yeah. It's, it's, yeah, optimism. Can you allude to some of the magic that we had that we're going to do what we're going to do our best to keep it there?

I'll say this, man. Like, I've been watching from afar. I remember when the first time you kind of came to me in our little team meeting room is like, hey, I'm thinking about starting this show about dads. I want to, essentially you're asking for the blessing. Like, are you cool if I go and start this show? And I was like, Planet of the Apes.

Yeah. I was like, yeah, I think it would be awesome. Like, you're obviously big into it, all that. You bring up Shirm.

He's going to be a soon to be father at the time. He's like, he would be great. I'm like, there's no doubt. Shirm in front of a camera is better than behind the camera. You're actually great behind the camera. That's not a shot.

Well, no, but thank you. You're a phenomenal talent. I'll take that is what I'm saying. I'll take that. And I knew eventually this would happen. This like would merge of like you guys would want guests eventually.

And I thought, hopefully, you know, God willing God willing I would become one of those guests and it's really cool for me because the way my family operates

the way my wife and I operate is we protect try to protect and preserve like our children we don't want in the public light we don't have to see anything and I get to see you guys post about your kids

and there's a level of pho that I have at times being like oh look how happy that beautiful family is and a lot of times you play the game is like well is the Instagram family happy but I know in both of you I'm like this is true.

truly them. And it's just really cool to see. And so this will be the first time in my podcasting professional career that I will truly be talking about my family in a way. The entire episode. Yeah, that I have not really done on Bustin with the Boys. There's been emotional times. There's been great stories and stuff like that. But this is a time where it's truly based around my family, our family, how we're all integrated together. And, dude, I'm fired up. You're a great storyteller. Because it's spotty like you were alluding to. It's spotty on the Bustin universe when you talk about on Bustin with the boys. But the fact that we're half. A dedicated keep it under an hour.

Yep. All family talk. That's the thing is like I got to go in an hour, right? We can't do this any longer than an hour. Can't do this any longer than an hour. And luckily we all got a hard out. So you're PT sicko. People say that.

There's rumors swirling and it's only, it's up to me to prove to the viewer today that I'm a PT sicko. Are you aware that this is the strongest fatherhood community going on right now in the modern day? Can I say something else? Please. I know you guys are like 36, 37 episodes into this whole thing. Yeah.

And it is incredible to see the village, the tribe that the two of you have established, not only in the continental United States, but worldwide, internationally. These people coming out of nowhere. And the thing that's been the most mind-blowing to me because it doesn't happen on Bustin with the boys, got a lot of ladies over here. A lot of ladies. A lot of M-T-6ers. Lai, yep.

Yes. So I am very excited to meet these people, to embrace fatherhood, embrace family, all that on this show. It can be more excited. Yeah. And again, for the audience out there watching, listening, wherever you're getting your podcast, please make sure you're following and subscribe. Please. But this won't be just a, this isn't like an interview.

This is, the boy is co-hosting. Anytime we have on a guest, they will be co-hosts and they will be immersed in our show. Taylor's got a lot of cards around them, because, again, we love to engage with our audience. At For the Dad's Pot on social media. So if you drop comments, we get them on cards. If you want to go

the extra mile and be featured, featured on the show. You call into our hotline, 601, the dads. That is where if we feature your voicemail, you're calling, whether it's a dad win, dad loss, anything you want to vent to the boys. We play it. We send you some merch if you can't, if you're international and you can't call into the hotline or you don't want your voice to be heard. You simply just write in an email 6-1 the dads at gmail.com. So we do comments. We do engagement all throughout the episode. Taylor's got a lot in front of them right now. Oh, and big news that we got during that little power hours for five minutes that we just had. We just,

We just hit 20,000 on YouTube. We just hit 20,000 subscribers on YouTube. And that's it. That's really just thinking PT6. I mean, truly. Like, thank you PT6 for subscribing, but also huge shout out to PT6 because he had a really good number of, like, comments and questions with what?

Two days before we were recording. We put out a tweet, a post and some stuff. And they came through. So shout out PT6 and MT6. Derek would drop in the chat the other day, too. the Reddit page. Dropping the little clip or the video. We talked about, I guess, technically, two episodes ago,

about how they were like, oh, our time will come, our time will come. We have a discussion here, Taylor, about, like, Reddit and just we don't use it. And so what does it mean? And we found that PT Sickos had made us a Reddit. So last, or two episodes ago, we shouted it out. And then I sent a link to the boys. They posted and said, we're famous with the clip of us discussing their created Reddit page. So the community is absurd.

Reddit is a world that I've never, like, truly been in. But I have, I've clued. I've touched a link or two in my life. And I've looked. Buddy, you got some, you had some sickos on there. Sickos. Not even PT sickos. Yeah.

You got sickos in general. And you got to love them too because that's, that's the heartbeat right there. Yeah. That's the heartbeat. They will make you rise and fall, Baba, in a lot of ways. You know what I'm saying? But they will take your ass out if you don't, if you'll come correct. Yeah.

Yeah. You're in the pocket of Reddit where I would assume it's the same. But you click, the links that you do click, you hit it. And then when Safari opens up, it's like, do you want to open it up in the app or do you want to stay on the browser? Oh, you got to make a profile to get on Reddit. You feel like the time. Right. You always stay on the browser.

The minute you open up the app and you establish your username and you have a password and you have to verify the password, there's email involved. That's when you are now in the cult. You're a sicko. You're in this, your official sicko. Yeah. Speaking of sickos, we did have a sicko right in. is from Joe Veers on Instagram and this is for you to read

before we kick off. No, we did. We did. We did. And I just wanted to the reason why I brought that up is my reading abilities. Anybody who watches Boston with the boys knows subpar. It's not great. So I have to pre-read. I got to pre-read

before I actually read live. Now I'm in my head. I'm like, do I do the thing where I like Taylor, he needed the room for 10 minutes while we had to walk out of the shop? Yeah, if you want to say that, you're more than well because I do it again. It was good. It was good. So Taylor, listen to me. Hey, don't do it.

Don't do it. We gave him the cards. He saw the cards and he was like, gentlemen, can we all leave the office? Can you all step outside and give me 10 minutes? Don't flame him like that. Come on. If that's so much more fun in the first iteration, no. You're not.

You're not. All right. Do I do the clip with the Big Red Dog? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got the same book. Still got trouble with it. Still got trouble with the Big Red Dog. Yes.

All right, this is Joe Veer's. underscore Instagram, Joe Veers. Why am I actually excited for this? Dot-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. The crossover, every M-T-Sixer probably dreaded after years of hearing Bustle with the boys prior to FTD. It's your time to shine as a PT sicko, Taylor. Please don't let us down. And you won't.

That's from an M-T-Sixer. I am going to do my absolute best. That here they're, thank you, Joe, Viers. Hear us do what we do on bus and just think, well, why? why do we got to listen to this on our long drive? Now they have for the dads. Moms get included a little bit. Oh, okay, that's the same.

I'm not just guy that I hate listening to that you listen to. Yeah, yeah. Now we're all the other. I like to picture these beautiful women sitting passenger side in the car as they're driving listening to PT6 for the dads and smiling to themselves. And every two or three times an episode looking over and goes, that's so you. Yes. You do the same thing.

Yes. That's crazy. You do that. You do that. And then he'll have a chance to look over and be like, you've done that to me. and then now we're having fun. Yes. We're having fun and that's all that matters.

Like, see, babe, I'm telling you when I, when I want to get a little action, it ain't personal. It's all the guys feel this way. We see electricity in there and there's a bit of a shockwave head of this. Yeah. You know, you know how?

It ain't just me out there. We're all trying to scratch that age a little bit. You know what I'm saying? Hey, come on, man. Part of that deal. Part of that deal. I will say there is very little difference between Will Compton on Bustin with the boys

and Will Compton on For the Dads. It's really that they're just seeing a completely different side of you as far as like the humanity of you. So it is... Jokes get married to in the household. You said what? Jokes get married to in the household.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Some of I'm sitting there. I'm like, should I mean? I do see a little bit of a difference. Much more positive, like not in a negative way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, like, straightforward buses, like, whatever will's feeling that day,

that's the will you're going to get. This feels like a, like a light positive. And it's not saying you're not. Yeah, yeah, positive guy. Catching the... Catching the... You're throwing me a cop, catch you. I can see how that can take it a different way.

Let's not take it that way. Let's take the way it was meant to be presented to you. It's hard to be taking that way when he got on these beautiful hats. No doubt. You look good, Taylor. You got going on. Taylor looks good.

Modeling this well. Yeah. I asked you guys, like what? You've been married for four years? Five years? Four years. Roos Teresa, four. Yeah, so four years.

What is, how has Valentine's Day changed for you since being married, established? Because I know it's changed a lot for me. Yeah. It changed a lot for me. And it's a, I'll be honest with you, it's really nice now. I think you just know what time it is on Valentine's Day. You know what I mean?

There's no second guess. There's no question. Like, hey, you know, all the hoops you jump through to set up maybe a perfect little Valentine's Day night. Do they want that? Do I want that? Are they expecting me to have this? I don't really want to do it.

But I also, I'm into you. So maybe I should do this. Yeah. Now it's just more a little straightforward. Are we going to do a date night? We're going to go out. We know we're going to hit the shockwave. Ain't nobody getting too full tonight.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you want oysters. Oysters and blueberries. They're a little more into it. They know what's going to. Instead of fighting it, hey, do I want to, do I not want to? They know they're going to. Yeah.

So now it's like we got these walls down. We're having a little more fun with you. Yeah. Pressure. Pressure's way down on Valentine's Day. Yeah. Pressure's way down in that instance. For me, younger, like early married, because anyone who knows my story about me and my wife

is we got engaged in five weeks, married in two months. So there was a very quick courting process for me. but we've been in April, we'll be married for 10 years. And we looked at, hey, we got Valentine's Day coming up. And it turns into, there's not an expectation on me anymore where it's like, what are you going to do? What are we up to? Like, what are you up to? What are we up to?

On this special day that we get to be ours. Yeah. Those massages, grab a little dinner. Yeah, yeah. It's really like, let's just have a nice time together. Let's be intentional about the two of us as opposed to got to make sure there's a little rose petals going. or something like that kind of theatrics that I might not be great at.

But do you, do you approaching Valentine's Day, do you think, or maybe what are the holidays, and it could be Valentine's Day, where you might think like, let me get her on her toes here. Let me throw her off guard. She thinks nothing's going to happen. Now I do.

It might not be huge, but just something little. You knew that wasn't coming. I don't know if comfort's been my enemy, but I used to a lot more than I do now. I think as we get older and I'm almost 10 years married I'm like yeah hey we're good right do this like I know you're happy I'm extremely happy if you ever leave me I'll you know you know yeah I'm good luck God you know what I'm saying so yeah I tell my wife like hey if you ever left me I just follow you and hang out like I'm like what are you doing but Taylor you did this I'm like oh come on man

we're gonna be boys still right yeah no matter what I still love you but so yeah for me it's like let's just have a good time let's up pretty expectation I think communication as we've gotten older has gotten a lot better. Yeah. Where there's not this, if there's ever been a level, which talent's really good about communication, but there's never, if there ever has been a, you need to know what I'm thinking, that's gone for us. Where if she's like, this is how I feel.

I'm like, well, this is how I feel. And then you get a little pillow talking. You try to work it out, make a little, make a little, get a little shockwaves. Yeah, buddy. Try to get a little something going a little bit. And then you go to some. I feel like the Super Bowl, too, is more like anniversary. Yeah.

I agree with that. Wait, wait, what did you mean by that? So, like, the pressure of, like, Valentine's Day when you're married, I feel like more of that pressure, that ball gets fully into anniversary. Because you're married, like, obviously you celebrate anniversary, like if you're dating or you're serious and stuff like that. Yeah. I think the expectation of pressure that might be felt or seen,

all that gets put more towards anniversary than Valentine's. We are so close to the actual NFL Super Bowl that I took that way too literally. Yeah, that's fair. I told you that. That's why I was like, why would that be an anniversary? Yeah, yeah. Maybe we should change that. PT6 or like change Valentine's Day and put it on Super Bowl weekend.

Yeah. Yeah. So Saturday. You just get it, you know. Next year that's happening. Next year, Valentine's Day will be on Super Bowl. Hey, you know. I was informed by my fiancee two days ago.

They just made the rule because they just heard Taylor say it. Breaking news. It's coming out right now. From for the dads. Very. You guys are welcome for that. Do you all have a go-to for Valentine's Day? I do not.

But like, do you have something that you do no matter what, every single year. I have a go-to. My go-to is, oh, shit, Valentine's Days this weekend. Yeah. Or, oh, shit, Valentine's Days in a couple. I have a go-to.

That's my go-to. I have a go-to as well. What's your go-to, Shamm? Oh, that's your go-to. My go-to on Valentine's Day. Every Valentine's Day, I get 12 dozen bouquets of flowers. Taylor's not a rose girl. She likes more like wildflowers.

Yeah. 12 dozen. Or, sorry, one dozen, 12 total. Bocais of flowers. And now I'll be, like, establishing, like, one month. for every month since the last time we went to Valentine's Day. Her anniversary.

What we do is this will be year 10. And I told her, every year, every year 10, it resets. Yeah. So every year I've got her a dozen bouquets of flowers per year. So last year I got her nine dozen

bouquets of flowers. And I just have people, it's a totally financially irresponsible thing to do. It's ridiculous. But it's the theatrics in my head that I'm like, how do I want to,

when my kids, are older and I am dead and gone. How are they going to explain their father? And it's like, dad love theatrics. And that's where I have to really buy into it. And I think two great work, you're setting a standard for your little. You are, dude.

Exactly. Dude, I can't want to get in that conversation. I talked to my eight-year-old all the time about this is why fathers and mothers are important and this is what you can learn. I have that as a massive topic. As you being the cat here, that is the closest to the dating phase. but we'll save it.

We'll save it. Do we want to do comments before... Keep in mind. We only got an hour. We only got to keep it in an hour. You got to keep it in an hour. But you got to know. But just to be said this year,

10 bouquets of, 10 dozen bocades of flowers will be delivered to my house. Taylor and then goes and, like, gives them to like old folks' homes and stuff like that before they die. Very sweet. Hey, yo. Does she go in the old homes and be like, which ones?

Yeah, but which ones are... Which ones are close. She's just trying to John Cena. Some of people a little bit. Oh. Hey. We joke on this, We joke on the bar.

It's a family show. I don't want that. We're joking on the bar. We get it. But the ones that got it, that's a good joke. Yeah. You keep that in your back pocket. But yeah,

you're in a senior home right now. Once you're 11 hits, if I get flowers. If I get flowers. I saw John Cita yesterday. What's that? It's not good. It's not good.

Oh, no. Oh, shit. Doc. Nurse. April 20th hits. On the 21st, you get a bouquet of flies. Just no. See, if I'm hard.

All right. But yeah, yeah, you're 11. It goes back down to one dozen bouquet. Ooh, I like that. Good reset. It can only be financially irresponsible for so long. You're 30 for 30. Anyway, onward.

I was going to say, I do have a comment here. Oh, go ahead. I could kick off a fun little, a fun little trivia segment. Yes, please. This is from Lone Shark 710 on Instagram. There were rumors swirling around the rumor mill that Taylor wasn't a PT sicko. Hopefully this sets things straight. Okay.

And who is that from? It's from Lone Shark 710. Those are big words. Those are big words. That is. So let me ask this question. How do I establish to the people that I'm a PT sicko? I think if Lone Shark is listening right now, which I assume that he is, whether it be

on any of the channels, Apple, Spotify, Amazon, Google, YouTube, Galaxy Pod, Galaxy Pod, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Make sure you subscribe. Downcast. Downcast. Soundclap. Yeah. But Taylor's already kind of said a good, he's already set a really good tone.

Like you hear the PT sickos out there They're hearing the inside jokes. He's speaking. They're like, all right, all right. We do have some, we do have some fun trivia here. Okay. To establish the PT sicker right. And this is a safe space, right?

Like if I get one wrong, we're not judging. Oh, buddy. There is no buzzer. Yeah. No buzzer. Yeah. Just a time limit. Yeah.

What does PT6 stand for? Papa Team 6. Yep. Now. Which is established after SEAL Team 6, which is one of the Navy SEAL things that don't exist at this moment. only the most dangerous are dangerous if someone been London.

Passed. There's three answers here. And extra credit. There is some extra credit. Okay. Can you spell P-T-Sicco? Yeah. P-T.

See, I have my own little thought process on Shotwave. He sure. Shockwave is from my understanding of watching the show is that you go and do the things you need to do. You exceed a bar. You come downstairs and there's electricity in there for you to hurt. Am I correct in generally stating what shockwave is? And then... Yeah, yeah.

So context of Shockwave. Do you know the background of Shockwave? This would be full-on insane extra credit. Yeah, like, I guess the only way to answer your question is with the question is that... Have you been to Six Flags in Texas? Oh! Yo. Hey.

Yo. I didn't even know what to do. That's crazy. That's crazy. Yeah. So, man, let me tell you some. Rides not long. How many loops?

I was just about to ask how many loops. Now, my thought process on shockwave is that you go and we talk about the scoreboard all the time. You go home. You don't want to have a scoreboard. However, there's always a scoreboard. You go home, long day at work. Come back. Chores, I hit the chores.

Then all of a sudden, wife's not feeling so great. You go upstairs and hey, honey, you lay back for the rest of the night. I'm going to go ahead and take care of these kids. You play with them. You do the thing. They're happy, jovial happy, jumping up and down. Dad, we love you so much. You put them down.

There's no fighting. They don't hear any loud noises downstairs or upstairs. Put him to sleep. Go to bed. You walk into the room. That, to me, is where there's electricity in the air. Shockwave is whether or not that electricity strikes. I do like that extra element of, like,

Like, he's doing all these things and, like, checking things off the list, and he's creating evidence. Yeah. It's a wifey. Creating evidence. A great core value of bustling with the box. Oh, yeah. You're hitting a lot of great responsibilities that need to be done. Yeah.

You're also in that. You're taking care of mama's needs. Yeah. Now, that has got some needs. Because on Valentine's day. Hey, listen. I got needs. And let's be honest, you got a couple of them.

Yeah. All right? It's ain't a selfish game because this is love. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This ain't like, you know, heavy breathing. This is heavy breathing.

I will say this. On Valentine's Day, I could do chocolate, flowers, all that stuff. But if jilly bean came home to a made bed, dishes done, bottles cleaned, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. That's four-play. Oh, dude. That's game over. What's the words of affirmation? Love languages.

Yeah, acts of service. Acts of service. Oh, yeah, dude. That's a big one. Yeah. Yeah. Now, she'll take chocolate and flowers for sure. But she will.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she will. She got a little sweet tooth. She does. She has a huge sweet tooth. And if you do Domino's does heart-shaped pepperonies, just figured that out. Really? Yeah.

No free shout-outs to Dominoes. No free shout-outs to Dominoes. So we brought that over. No free shout-outs is brought over. Yeah. Anytime you just shout-out brains, like, I feel like it's just ingrained. Gotcha. Got you, got.

Don't want to just give anybody free shout-outs. Yep. There's a new one, very new. Maybe a couple weeks. old. A few weeks old. Oh, this one's hard. M.T6 APR. MT6 APR. So APR, I don't know what APR is, but MT6 is a milk team six.

APR. Is it like have to do with pregnancy? No. So we've learned on this. Okay. Maybe as I tell the context of, you might start put, like, you might start blocking out pregnancy, all the things that you're thinking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But we've learned on this show that when we tell stories, we also have dad brain. Yeah.

You know what I mean? You forget a lot of things. Sometimes you make stuff out. Who knows? You're remembering it as well as you can. Yeah. But we've learned on the show, our wives are listeners of the show because we're obviously talking about family dynamics.

And we're talking about family stuff. So they want to, you know, they want to make sure we're doing everything justice. So we've learned on the show that we get feedback after pretty much every episode. Yeah, depending on if we butcher a story. So I told the story a few weeks ago about when Rue went to the hospital for that seizure she had. Yeah. When I was like, what did I say? About a year and a half.

Eight months. You said she was eight months. No, I didn't say she was eight months. I was saying she was like a year and a half. This is how it happens. This is how it happens. But also, can I say something? Yeah.

Minor detail of how old she was. Like the child. Here we go. She's a weird little pup. Right. It's like, and also. Listen, I know this positive show. Yeah.

Can we stop with the months after 12? I like that. Here's why. Here's why. I don't mind it and I get it too. I get it. It's like, oh, there one year, you can say a year and a half. You do halves up until what? Well, how long did you guys go? I went to about 19 years old. And you could do year and some change.

I love, you're making some change. Yeah. But so the halves, whatever. Oh, for yourself. For yourself. What are you? 19 years old. I'm thinking how many months is that?

No, no. Scarlet six months. But the detailed month, I like, I've enjoyed breaking down under two because I feel like, the 16th month mark or that 15-16 mark is when their personalities really start to come alive. So if I hear somebody like Sherm, a scarlet is what? We go to the day. Now she would be seven months on this podcast.

Yeah. But once, if you were to tell me 13 months, I'm thinking in my head, man, they're about to hit a little spin on when their personality starts coming out to where you're starting to get a little taste of it. But when it really comes alive is around that 15, six-month mark. That's the only reason I don't mind the details under two years. Yeah. Yeah. I do feel you though. Yeah, to me, it's get the 12 months after that holiday, one.

I think I'm going to be that more so. Yeah. Just because it's an easy quick answer. But if I were to talking like talking to you on the show, obviously I'd have it broken down by month. But how old's the kiddo? Oh, she's a year and some change. Yeah, year and change.

Yeah. Yeah. It's like, is it the end of the day. Like this person asked that question for filler. Some might, some might take, some kiddos might take 15 months to walk. Yeah. That is true. Was that you?

No, no, no, no. I was training them early. Rue is probably... No, I was talking about you as a child, not Roo or Scotty. Rumor has it. No. Willie Boy was walking in nine months. Hey, come on.

Rumor has it. That's early. There's no evidence. That's nice. There's no evidence, but I'll believe that to the day I died. It comes from Billy C. Right. It comes from our parents.

You were walking at nine. Nine months. We said, I was running. There was no crawling. The boy was running. He started going. All right. Yeah, I'm a, but APR. After Pod Report.

After Pod. Because Sherm also total story with, what? Oh, would Jillie? Olive Pop and heavy cream. Oh, God. Yeah, Jill has this drink that she was doing during pregnancy. She had gestational diabetes just through like some stuff with the placenta. So you're giving people game, parents.

Giving people game. Hey, if your wife has gestational diabetes too, here's a little sweet treat instead of, well, here we go. Okay, instead of saying Chabani Sweet Creamer with Oli Pop Banana cream. Banana cream, thank you. This is why we're a team. Yeah, this is why we're a team. So I'm saying that, I said that she was using heavy cream, like whipping cream

with Oli Pop cream soda. Yeah, that's a different dish. And I got stripped down when I got home. Like truly, she's still to this day. Well, she'll get pissed if I like any type of detail of Sherman, you're making me look like a psychopath on that. Like you need to go back on the show and like

dial this out because I look like an idiot. A lot of responsibility being an authoritative figure in this world. A lot of moms, ones you're obviously married to and then moms all over the place that are watching, learning, judging. She's using heavy cream and cream soda. I kind of want to do that too. People did.

You know that she's making a mistake. We go by. Hey, that's the wrong day. It's the wrong day. And now they did it three times. It was low key kind of sounds nice. Someone, like a nice day. Someone tried it, correct?

Somebody was like... We had someone basically write in and be like, hey, my wife tried it and I think she liked it and wasn't quite sure. And then Shirm also messed up

the amount of hot dogs and beers go out on their first date. That was another awkward dad brain mode. That's okay. Dad brain happens all the time. Sue me.

Happens all the time. Sue me. See, here's something for M.T.6 that just would help me as a PT6 guy. Is, if I'm telling a story,

and I might have got a couple minor details. wrong that don't necessarily change the trajectory or the landing spot of the story. Let it keep coming. Let me go. Let me rip a little bit. You know what I'm saying?

And I know I'm wrong, but then make a nice little joke be like, he got it most right, and then I can laugh with you and then you can correct me on the thing. You got an even bigger laugh with the, he got some of it right? But if I'm going down the yellow brick road, right,

and we're hopping and skipping and we're singing and I'm telling a nice little fun story, I don't want my vibe to get checked because I might, you know, dad brain might hit me right there. Yeah. And that's CT6 or whatever you guys want to call. where I just all of a sudden

start, my brain starts rerouting a little bit. I don't know where I picked up where I left off. Yeah. C.T. 6. Maybe I got C.T.6. Oh, my God. Yeah, we got C.T.

Yeah, we got some CTS. How many times can I say it before it becomes a thing? That's all, you know, that's a goal on show. I'll give Jill that at least of like, she lets the story ride out. She does a good job of like, oh, my God. The APR has become a fun thing. Yeah. It's like the, it's like, you know, every, every husband and wife

out there. It's all the same stuff. Dad's out there telling a story. He exaggerates a little bit. Don't let, you know, what's the saying? There's a saying out there. Don't let a good story getting away of a little bit of exaggeration. Right. Yeah. It's a great thing. You know, wives are out there. It wasn't, you know, when we were at Taylor's

Halloween party. You know, that was hilarious. I was talking about how old Rue was or something. Charles just yells across it. No, she was. Dude. Charra was like 30 yards away. That was funny. That was funny. If you interject funny

But if it's like, no, she was at 5 A, by the way, she was, you know, six months old. Actually, she was five months. Doesn't matter. Yeah. Right. I heard you tell the story. Just, you know, something small.

She was, she was eight months. Oh, yeah. I thought she was about 10 years old. And the confidence at which you were telling the story. Because Will and Jill, they have interactions with each other similar to you and Jill. But, you know, you're really trying to get to nowhere in that moment. You're confidently telling that story.

And Charo was a good 40 yards away and overheard it. And it was like, that is really wrong, way wrong. That is hilarious. That is hilarious. Do we want to jump into some of the comments that we would love to? We could do new dads. Okay, I got new dads right here. Yeah.

New dads. All right. Here's a, here's a, before we get into new dads, we do have a hubby shout out. Ooh. We do have a hubby shout out to come here. This is from, it's a hubby shoutout from Katie Joe on Spotify. Again, comments are live on Spotify. Katie Joe.

That's one. I listen to you while you're reading it. I'm just like, yeah, I'll never do that.

Yeah. But I love the fact that there's somebody I think about myself doing that right now. I'm operating like David Gockens. If I thought to myself, yeah, if I actually did that, but like I hit a whole different level. I would hit full potential. You're driving the rest of the way home and you've already done it. Yeah.

Then you get inside. Right. Exactly. You get inside and then the day go. And like, God forbid you mentioned the idea of doing that to your spouse. Yeah. It's like, now I got to follow through. You've mentioned that idea to three different people.

And then a month from a month later, they follow age. You do that through a ring binder and you're like, oh, shit, I forgot all about that. Yeah, yeah. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I probably won't do that. Like, man, it's been working for us. I got one, a new dad from Donnie Hearing. I've been a day one listener and I have held back from buying any merch because I was not a dad yet.

But a couple of weeks ago, my wife and I finally got a positive pregnancy test. I don't know if it's going to be a boy or a girl yet, but you better believe I'm going to cop some Papa Team 6 gear. Love the pod. Keep them coming. Come on. Gradually. What was their name? Donnie Heeran.

Dony, congratulations, dude. Shout out Donnie. Hey, that test comes up. Have you guys talked about the first time you saw a positive pregnancy test on the show? We haven't. I'm not sure we have, maybe. Yeah, maybe. I don't think so.

I don't think I've fully gone into mind. Closest you got was Jill sending you the text of the pregnancy test as a prank. Which that was fucked up. The prank that was a prank? Good show. Was Taylor there for the stream room text? I don't know if he was there that day. I'm not sure.

Jill sent me, she was having like stomach aches, all the fun stuff. And she was like, I hope I'm not pregnant. And I'm, you know, this is right after we had Scarlet. And so I'm like, you know, whatever. And she just sends me a picture of a pregnancy test. And that's all it was,

was just the picture of the pregnancy test with no words under it. So I see that while we're live on stream for Thursday night football. Hopefully it was a good game. Right? He stood up so fast and I started to walk out and then like, you know, 45 seconds like a minute after it's, you know, not pregnant. Woo. And I'm like, oh, my.

You got to bleed with that. What are we doing? Kind of fun. No, kind of fun. It was a little fun. It was a little fun. What was your first reaction when you saw the first pregnancy test? Dude.

So if you guys have a minute, I know we only have an hour for the show, but I would. Please do. win Rebel Leone was actually a very interesting one. So wife and I meet in 2016. I've already said it, gauged five weeks married in two months. It is a Tuesday, and we're about to play the Jacksonville Jaguars

on Thursday night football. Quinn, Talon's brother is in town. And I come home to a bag, and Talon's like, I have something to show you. You can tell she's like, panics her,

you know, you can tell the BPMs are up. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, oh, what's, what's going on?

And she's like, turn around. And I turn around. I hear this bag rustling and I turned back around and there are eight pregnancy tests. Yeah. That are out. Yeah. Seven of them say positive.

And I'm like, what about that one? What is this? What is this one right here? As you goes, Quinn took that one because we didn't know if it was broken. Fun fact about pregnancy tests. If you, if you're a male and you pee on a pregnancy test and it's positive, that is a sign of testicular cancer. So Quinn was also in those seven minutes.

Yes. We're kind of like, hey, I guess we're going to kind of find out. Oh, no. dead if we have anything going on. So, Talen, we just met, right? She is 22 at the time, maybe just turned 23, and we barely know each other. I know, I'm gonna know that the rest of my life.

I always make the joke to Tailan. Like, I feel like you weren't fully invest in this relationship. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and a half in there. Like, all right, yeah, maybe I will marry this guy forever. I already get the ring on. Already married, yeah, I guess we'll do it. And so I go and I really hope Tailen's okay with me telling the story. But she's nervous.

I go right into super positive mode. Like, hey, there's never a convenient time to, like, hey, let's have children. Like, we all have dreams, aspirations, what we want to do. And so I'm super positive. Internally, I'm freaking out. So we go to the doctor. We go in there. We get the thing done.

And we put it up. We do the little deal. And we see, like, a little sack and a tiny little flick. Uh-huh. There. And I'm like, oh, shit, that's a heartbeat. Yeah. Yeah.

That's a heartbeat. It's like, this is real. This is real. And I'm like, hey, so what's it do? Like, yeah, you're pregnant? Well, it says like four to six weeks or whatever. I'm probably messing that up right now. Look at the APR.

That does sound right for being able to see heartbeat. Yeah. It's six weeks. Because it is just this little tiny flick takes off the place. And I'm like, hey, it's going to be fine. Blah, blah, blah. And then I'm like, I got to go to the hotel now because we have a game the next day. So this is actually a Wednesday, not a Thursday.

I go to the game. We play. I think that was like the game that Derek had the 99-yard run and like 238 yards rushing. It was like hell of it. So you played out of your mind. No, no, this is the night I'd run. I was on the, you know, I was on the thing. Hey, I was in the thing.

We beat the Jax. But the many times. During the games, I would always, like, every time I'd run out, the first thing I would do was, like, look for Tailing, I'd see her, smile, a way, blow a little kiss. And then every series, after I finished,

I'd go up, I'd look at it and I'd find her, see her just to see her. Yeah. I would sit down and go over the playbook, stuff like that. Well, during the game, she's like, uh, quiet. And she's like not really like, you just tell, she's kind of like seems like depressed.

I'm like, man, she's really taking this thing hard. It seems like. Yeah. And after the game, we win. I go to give her a hug. And the Titans at the S lot is where they had it. And it was all like this gated in area with like, you know one can really see, but I get in and I see Tylan and I give her a big hug.

And she goes, hey, don't say anything, but I was bleeding during the game. And I think I lost the baby. And I'm like, like, like even right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. start to feel yourself tear up a little bit because you're like so scared in that moment, but you're also like, like, hey, this is like a new journey,

a new experience. Like I have a shot at being a great dad here. Like you think of all the opportunity as opposed to the scared or at least you try to. So we go and a couple. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what?

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

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

Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast. People could call in and say, hey, Joe. 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.

A couple days later, we go and get a test or we go to the ultrasound again, and they go, yeah, the heart rate is not there.

We don't see a heart rate. And that little stack was there, and I didn't see a flick. And I'm thinking, oh, my God, we actually lost this baby. And so they tell us, hey, you, it seems like it's like a chemical pregnancy. we're going to give it a couple of weeks and if you got if you're still reading at these higher levels whatever those levels are

then we're going to have to do like a quick like it's like a scope where you kind of take out the egg and everything and you remove it so a couple of weeks go by and I jokeingly I'm like I joke with Taylorin about this I'm like kind of being a bee during these last two weeks like emotional

real emotional about it and I'm like what's going on with that what's going on when I'm emotional right now You were scared now. You're not scared no more. Let me teach you something about football. You got to move on in the next play.

In my brain, I'm like, I'm in the middle of the football season. So I'm like, I'm like, I go home. I handle, I like, I'm with her. We're filling the emotions together. But then I go to sleep. I wake up at 5.30, whatever it is. And I go right to the facility. And it's like, that's now has to go away for these next, you know, 12 hours.

Right. So a couple weeks go by. And Taylor's on herself. Dailon's a very even kill from emotional standpoint, very emotionally, mature woman. And we go back and I'm like, hey, doc, something's up. Can we like come back and check? We do the ultrasound. And buddy, that little sack is still there, but that flick is back. And they're like, oh, I'm like, so is what's going on? And I'm thinking to myself, I'm just seeing something that is like hieroglyphics to me. Ultrasound girls like, I can't say anything.

The doctor's going to come in. Comes in, doctors like, yeah, you guys are pregnant. And I don't know what happened a couple weeks ago, but you're, yeah, you're having kids reading at nine weeks right now or whatever the number was at the time. What? And it was the craziest thing in the world. Talen says all the time that when she was pregnant, she was so scared about what was going on that

when, who was our oldest daughter, had to like remove herself for a second for Tailing to be like, you know what? It would actually have been kind of great just to come back. And so that was... It was nuts, man. The beans, dude. Like three or four week emotional period.

It was just nuts about thinking you're having a kid. They're like, okay, I guess I'm not having kid, but then do we have kids eventually? And it's like, no, by the way, you're having a kid. And it was a crazy, crazy. Dude, that's hard. A little, the little bean was born. The bean. We just called her the bean over and over again. Yeah. Yeah, dude, it was awesome. It is like so scary finding out you're going to be a kid for the first time. You're going to have a kid for the first time. But yeah, it's nuts. Do you remember the first day you brought back by home your kid? Oh, brought home? Brought home. Yeah, yeah. And you just sit there and they're like, you have all the

nurses helping you with everything and then you get in the car, you slap them in the car scene, you're like, fuck. They're buckled in. And then you get in the car and kind of drive off and you're like, all right, I guess we're doing this. I guess we're parents now. It feels illegal.

It feels illegal. You're just like, car seat on the floor. Ours is like in the kitchen. Used to the car seat on floor when we came inside. We're like, hey waffle, here's here's, here's Rue. Kind of just look at it for a little bit and you're like,

it's ours. Do I feed it now? Yeah, yeah. Like it's not only talking a whole lot. What's the deal? Let's start getting the sounds going. I was overly worried about introing the dogs to Scarlet because I had read something that if you let the dogs find the baby and it's like them finding and kind of showing you

the baby, it's like it's their idea and it kind of helps with the intro. And I'm like, all right, Jill, when we get to the house, like I'll get out, I'll take the dogs outside, you sneak Scarlet in and then we'll do that. And after like two minutes of trying to do that, Joe was like, hey, I don't give a shit about the dogs. Like, yeah, I'll get the dogs outside. You go, you go in and put Scarlett somewhere in the corner. You sit on the couch.

I'll come in, we'll kick up the feet. We'll throw on Netflix. Oh, what is that? She's that here. Riggily. What are you over there, Wrigley? Oh, let's go. Oh, my gosh.

Rigley, good boy. Good boy. Yeah. The things that I was worried about, you know, how many ever hours that was in the fatherhood. But. And then with our pregnancy test story, Jill got a dad's. I don't know.

I still don't know who gave her the sweater from up here. But she got a sweater from up here that said, dad on it, laid it on our kitchen counter. And similar to Taylin, she was like, oh, this one pregnancy test says I'm pregnant, but let me take nine more. And so there was like 12 pregnancy tests on the sweater. Yeah. And I came home and she just had like the most awkward smile ever and was just like standing there. And I'm like, what's going on here and see the kitchen counter? And the reason she never posted the video was I jokingly told Jill, we had just started trying.

And I jokingly told her, we're going to be that couple that it's going to be the very first time. Like I just, I have one of those feelings. It ended up being the very first try. and so when I see all these pregnancy tests I scream out I fucking told you I told you that's crazy

and it like is not a cute reaction at all so we never posted it but I was stoked yeah Rue was a very first try and then Scott I've obviously talked about the IVF stuff yeah buddy

but we just talk about real quick the first try for Will the state that Will com I saw Will com to the night that Rue was conceived and I'm glad you state me on that because Charles I got a hundred And I'm like, sweetheart, I'm telling you.

Dude. Wait, was she wedding night? I mean, we, I somehow made it happen. Oh, yeah, but yeah. That little guy was ready to work. They're doing the sendoff. It was bubbles or sparklers or something. We got the sparklers, wills, like, Charles looks outstanding.

The whole night she's been dancing and drinking and have fun. She looks like a queen. A little princess that is just like gliding across the floor with this fucking. Just like, my boy had something going on like, hey, hey, what is that? There you go, Willie. Then they put a hill in front of me. I had to walk out and I fell.

No. Yes, he fell. No. Will get telling him. He, I thought, you good, but he was like, ah. It's even dead. How is I never been told? I look at Taylor, they ain't doing nothing.

I, seven, eight, weeks, 12. Whatever it was later, he's like, got a kid. I'm thinking. Oh my God. Ain't no way he was able to do with that. From what I can remember, I remember being in the little sweet or whatever. And I was like,

sweet, are you got to get you got to help get me undressed. We made it happen. Will's inevitable. I made it happen. He's inevitable. Yeah. The eight gubernable is inevitable. For sure.

You know, I was like, let's just go to bed. We can consummate. Are you sure? Yes. Oh, my gosh. Do it.

That's incredible. I, I have, Starfishing. A couple grunts. He alive? You have any fun. Love you, honey. You love you.

You have a good night. Wane's over. You're welcome. That was it. I love you, Mr. Compton. You're crazy. Your last name's Compton now. Just huge bite of pizza.

Taylor doesn't change your name. Oh, really? She's still at Gallagher, yeah. And it wasn't like, when we got married, I was like, you got to change her to the law. She's like, oh, I'm absolutely going to change the law on. But because she's Canadian. Right. There's probably, is there just like such a long process?

2016, so like 45's in, who is now 47. And he's doing all this stuff with immigration. So like, the immigration stuff is very difficult to do anything. We're like, hey, we'll wait until it calms down. Now it's been almost 10 years and she's still to get her. And I've got to one was like kind of funny if you just keep it now. Like, hey, do you want to be a Lauan? Yeah.

No, she, like, I'll walk in. But look at that. We got three Luwans and a Gallagher in the room. She's like, dude, stop him on the Juan. Like, no, you're Gallagher. Yeah. Not legally. That changed the name, dog.

You can make phone call right now. Yeah. Yeah. A time. Time in. Gats and help you out with something if you want to get done. Time in around her passport renewal. Yeah.

That's a nice little two bird one stone thing. That's a house. That's a husband hack. That's a husband hack. Yeah. She's trying to change something like she's legally changed the Compton, but she's doing something around the passport right now. Yeah.

I'm always on her about like TSA. I'm sweetie. You got to get the TSA. She's like the passport coming in when we. All right, whatever you. Whatever you got to do. Oh my gosh. P.T. Sickos.

Cheers. To allie pop and cracking a coal in with the boys. Yep. Absolutely. So my cracker cold one is just a big dad win for me that I was like, you know what? Maybe I'm doing this right as a father. Maybe I'm actually figured it out.

So I think it was Monday or Tuesday. So we're like maybe it was Wednesday. Who knows? Anyway, it was like three, four days into having no power, generators running. Every night, the lights dim. You're like, is this the end of time? Are we, is it done now for us? So the kids have been staying up a lot later and they've been getting up earlier because

of it. there's been a lot of like less sleep nights to where emotionally both my children are having a more difficult time. Understandably so. Stir crazy. Yeah. Stir crazy. Nothing going on. My five year old in particular, she is like five year olds to me are in such a unique phase to where they're really coming out of the toddler stage and they're getting into like the kid stage.

They actually kid stage where they understand the idea of independence, but they're still very dependent on parents. But they're finding the envelope of like where can I kind of find. more of like me, I do this thing. And my kids were graced with a decision for a dessert. It was going to be my wife cans peaches. So it would be warm peaches and vanilla ice cream. Lord. Or a pop school.

Right? Now, we're all sitting here and if you're listening on Spotify or wherever you're at right now, you're clearly thinking to yourself, warm peaches and vanilla ice cream is the move right now. Yeah. Five-year-olds don't think that way. True. Five-year-olds have been talking about pop school since. morning. Breakfast hit. Can I get a pops school? Too really for a pop school, honey. You know we don't do

this shit. We're not doing that. So they are given the decision. I have an eight-year-old and then there's a neighbor girl, McKenzie, she's staying at her house as well, as long as her parents. She's 10. These kids identify, understand, and execute. They say, I'll wait a little bit longer, but I want the peaches and I want the vanilla. That's what I want. I'm thinking to myself, good move. Five-year-olds over here really having a hard time. Ends of settling for the popsicle. Gets the pop school, maybe three licks in, and here comes the peaches and the vanilla ice cream. So it's getting on the warmer.

She decides she's made the wrong decision, and she wants to take it back. In our household, you make a decision, whether you're happy with the decision you may or not, you got to stick with your decision. There's no going back. There's no going back. And like next time, now you've learned,

hey, I'm going to make the correct decision for myself by falling back a little bit and identifying. She doesn't take kindly to that. She starts getting mad. She starts having a little bit of a temper tantrum. all good five-year-olds do it. We all know anybody who's listening

with a five-year-old and storms upstairs. Storms upstairs. We say, hey, let her, let her sit there, sit with her emotions for a little bit. She lets out the every once in a while loud scream,

hey, just to let you know, I'm still mad scream. And as a dad, you sit there and you kind of like, you're laughing about it. Taylor's like, I should go up there. I was like, let me go.

I'm going to go, I'll handle this. You've been cooking, you just clean, like, let me do this. Boom, check. That is a pre-shock wave move, by the way.

Yeah, that is. All right. I'll get the afternoon in the life, but I'm just letting you know, like, you put working for these types of things. Yeah. I walk upstairs. My daughter wants nothing to do with me. She's like, where's mom?

My mom said, daddy came up on his own. I wanted to talk to you about this. Do you want to come sit over here? No, do you want me to sit over there? No, do you want me to stand in the room? No. I'm at a dead end. To the corner of my eye, I see two small little stuffed animals.

Uh-oh. I think she might not want to talk to me. She might want to talk to them. So I get these little stuff. I get these little stuffies out. I'm like, oh, hey. You did puppet therapy. Buddy, puppet therapy.

Take it through it. They used the olipops. Why are you sad? My mom, she said, I get it, and then I couldn't, but did I get it? Well, I can't understand you when you talk like that. Maybe I can help you if you could do it. We start breaking it down. I got two.

She decides halfway through it. Doesn't like this one. Uh-huh. She switches it out with another one. She's got a different voice. How do it? Yeah, I know. I feel you.

We'll get that figured out for you. ends up. This is the conclusion of the story. I know we only have an hour. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We go downstairs. Willow apologizes to her mother and says, I'm sorry for the way I acted, but next time I'm going to choose peaches and cream. And I hope that I can have good behavior and do my chores so I can earn peaches and cream. Let's go. Big win. Thank you. That is my crack of cold one.

Hey, how hard was she fighting that smile when you broke those characters out to? No, she's, dude, she's good with the, uh, stay in match. She's in there. She's in there. And then she sees it and she's like, look at me. And then all of a sudden I kind of vanish and she's just talking to them. And if I butt in, she's like, Dad, I, yeah. So you think.

Taylor in that situation, he's dad. It's not, it's not the funny Taylor Luan all the time. Like, no, that's dad. Like, I am pissed off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see you're trying to make me life. You look dumb. And as a dad, too, like, a lot of times you have to be the guy that is like, comes in and puts your foot down a little bit.

down a little bit. Like when we go out of town, Taylor and be like, yeah, I had to get on the kids a little bit. I didn't like it. So I talked to him for an hour. I'm like, go to bed. Like, when it's bedtime? Like, I'll, I'll play all day long. Bedtime hits, buddy. We understand the operation here. Night has fallen. You see it. I've read the book. It's time to sleep. I can't sleep. Here's the best way to sleep. Close your eyes. Breathe through your nose out through your mouth. You don't work through it with them. It's like, sweetie, all the issues you're having in your head, if you talk about it, like we'll talk about in the morning. And so you make sure and bring them up in the morning.

So you learn to yourself, I can go to sleep. And then in the morning, I can figure out all these issues. Yeah. Right. That way you're not causing nighttime anxiety. Where you feel you have to talk about it. If you don't have somebody to talk about it, now you're 23 years old. It's like, boom.

We'll move on tomorrow. Right. Right. I'll listen because I'm a sucker for, like, crawl in the bed and just laying there. Because I like rubber rooze ball and back. Like I'm like, I'm the closer. No matter what, I'm the closer. I'll either be doing Roos bedtime or mom does bedtime.

And then she comes out. Dad, you're up. I go up because she knows she gets a little backscrash from dad. But I'm sure that'll change whenever they get older and you laid it on the law. It's like the other night, all the stir craziness from being locked in the house, it's like Rue comes down, Charles doing Scotty's bedtime. And the whole thought before Charles took Scotty up to do bedtime, you're going to say, you help Daddad downstairs, clean the kitchen,

clean up the stuff, tidy everything up. And then, you know, Rue gets to stay up a little bit longer. And then we go up and do Rood's bedtime. But she's kind of attached to like following Charles around. Yeah. And so she goes up and then whenever Rue comes downstairs, she just gets on the couch. I'm like doing the dishes and everything. And Rue just starts whining.

She's just like, um, um, you know, kind of just like won your attention or kind of want you to ask. Yeah. But it's the point of the data where there's so many things going on. Like between the power outage, the internet, you know, the next day we learned that there was like a slight gas leak. But even being in the new house, like all the delivery shipping stuff just gets derailed. Yeah. So you're learning through the day like all the things. they need to get done in the house.

Everything's kind of weighing on you when you're there at the end of the day and you're thinking, all right, we're finally getting to bedtime. Rue comes down and she starts doing the whining thing and I'm just doing the dish. I'm just thinking like the whining stuff just. It drives you nuts. Drives me a little crazy. Buddy, it's the worst. And that's okay to say.

Yeah. It's awful. And she's just on the couch. She's whining. I'm like, hey, Rue, I've told you, we ain't doing this whining stuff. If you want, you need to talk to dad and let me know what you want. And then I kind of take whatever it is. I go back to the pantry to put something away.

She's now gone from the couch. She went upstairs. So I fill the milk up, get ready, you know, prep to go upstairs at the door's bedtime. I walk into Scotty's room. Scotty is on mom's lap. Rue is also sitting in the chair with them both. And she's like curled up on mom. Now I walk in.

I'm like, hey, sweetheart, let's go, let's go hit your bedtime. And she's just kind of sitting there look at me and I'm staring. I look at Charles and I look back down to Rue and I'm like, what's going on? And Charles looks at Rue. She's like, go ahead. She's like, Dad, Dadda, Dad, Dad, was mean to me. Oh no. And I like, oh, she said you were mean to her down there.

And I kind of, I kind of smile because I'm thinking it's kind of funny. I go in there and I'm staring at both of them. And then Rue was like, Dad, it was mean to me. And I'm like, here we go. I go and sit down on the little poof. Go there. Hit my thighs. I sit down.

I said, sweetheart, I'm sorry for being mean to you. But. Hard butt. I hit the butt. I write there, I ruin the apology with the butt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that it tells you all the time, I don't like to respond to whining.

So when you came downstairs, because mom, I look over at Charlie and I say, because mom, what happened was I was doing the dishes, Rood just came, now I'm telling on Rue, Roo just comes downstairs, doesn't say a word to me, she just gets on the couch and she just starts moaning and whining. So I'm like, hey, I'm not doing this whining stuff.

Like I'm trying to justify all my dissatisfy, with my wife and say, yeah. Because you know, she's gonna ask you, hey, so what happened? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You basically down in front of it. And I was like, so Ruth, sweetheart,

when you just come downstairs and don't say anything to Dadda, and you just whine, Dadda starts feeling emotions inside. Yeah, I start feeling some bigger emotions in myself. So I just say, hey, we don't do the whining, and I'm not pain in any mind because I need you to communicate with me

when you feel that, I need you, Dea need you to use your strong voice. She's kind of sitting there looking at me, and we kind of just paused. I look at Char, and I'm kind of like, smiling because I realize like I'm telling her dad had those big emotions too but that dad feels stuff too and this is a two-way street sweetheart and I'm like you want to come give dad dad a hug and she's like yeah so we give a hug we do bedtime and uh de-escalate the situation but the

whole coming down and the the whining stuff drives me nuts bro yeah you know so we're you got to use a strong voice we can't stop doing the whining yeah the whining thing to me is just a full stop you're they we're not doing that here yeah in this house like if you have an emotion. Like we, like, I always tell my kids like, we communicate in this family. So if you feel you, you're okay to feel any emotion you want. Yeah. That's all right. Be mad, you can be happy, can be everything in between any variety of that emotion. But if you don't say how you feel, no one can help you. Yeah. So buddy, just speak. Just use your words. Just beat these sixers vent right now. Yeah. That's a good note. And I loved the game. I wrote it down.

The, uh, if you, if you can't talk about it that night, make sure you bring it up in the morning. I like that because it probably makes it feel very important to them that it's like, hey, dad has remembered. He's bringing it back up. Yeah. Sometimes you do. 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 us. 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, how do we actually come up with the name, Jonas, guys. I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. We were thinking, I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers 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. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy,

You have a crack of cold one? I do have a crack a cold one. And then we got to get into voicemails because we got to keep it under an hour. I know, time is flying. Yeah. You know what that means? What are we at right now?

Like 30 minutes, maybe? Yeah, like 15. Okay. Give or take. Yeah, you have 30, 15, give or take. But you know what this means? All this fun and excitement. What?

It can't be the only time. Yeah, I know. Oh. I was thinking that too. I was like... I know once we get through this. There's a couple things I just want to ask you. Yeah.

And we'll get there. We'll get there. But no matter what, I think we all know the magic that's the shockwave that's happening. Yes. Yeah. For time's sake, I'll skip my crack of cold one. I'll just dive into

voicemails because I know we have some voicemails directed for Taylor. So I want to make sure that we give some good time. Sure. They're technically not directed at Taylor. They are just three open voicemails. So if you would like to cut down on voicemails, there are none directed at him. So run the show as you would like. Can I...

I know that I just kind of got to invite back and I don't want to ruin it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. he really bad. Do you go potty brace. We do potty brace. And you can talk about your crack a cold one. Okay, crack a cold one.

Okay, so I'll, I'll segue crack a cold one into dad loss because I actually had a really big dad loss. Like a big one. Scarlett had her first boo-boo and it was on Daddust watch. Hey, and that is a tough pill to swallow, bro. And, dude, it was really, really bad because Jill saw me on my phone. five minutes before said boo-boo happened. And I was not on my phone when boo-b-b-b-b-like, I will,

dude, I cannot wait to get up to heaven and say that I was not on my phone. Like, I will, I will die. I will go to the grave. I was not on my phone. And I'm talking how I am right now to Jill as Scarlet's, on her shoulder. And I'm going, honey, I was watching the whole time. I could tell you.

And she's like, check your tone. Check your tone. And I literally go, I go, I was watching the whole time. I was not on my phone. And started scream whispering, dude, because I was so debaient. I was like, I swear to God, I was on my phone. And Scarlett, basically what happened is she was, she's propping herself up very, very well. She's arching her back.

She can like kind of one hand a little bit and like get this hand going on a toy. And so I'm very loosely holding her top, like the back of her sweater. And I thought that I had her tight. And this arm completely gives out. And she just yonk, nose dives into a hard toy. And bro, as soon as she did it, there was a, uh, noise. And like mom instinct, she had her back turned and was in the kitchen. What, what happened?

And I'm already picked up Scarlett. Scarlet is going into the biggest It felt like Dragon Ball Z Where like Goku like charges up his thing Like Scarley was And then it finally just came out As soon as mom was like walking up I'm like, oh my God

It was. You just do what time it was gonna be too Since I saw you on the phone not too long ago Oh yeah Jill Jill thought I was on my phone I was saying them I will go to my grave I was not on my phone I was watching Fair enough.

And I got a little hot with Jill, and I was, I did not on my phone. And anyways, a dad hack to come out of that. If your kid is going to daycare the next day, make sure to tell the daycare worker about said boo-boo. So they don't think, if they don't see the boo-boo when you come in, they don't go, oh, my gosh, did that happen on our watch? And then they're sitting there the whole day freaking out of how do we tell Mr. and Mrs. Young that, you know. Scott's got this lump on it. Yeah. this happened on our watch.

So I had to very embarrassingly be like, hey, remember when y'all DM does say, she needs wipers or wipes and diapers today? Forgot about those and slash, guess why? She had her first booboo last night on Dad's watch and it's right here and right there.

They were like, thank you very much for letting us know, blah, blah, I'm kind of in the doghouse right now. It's okay, it's a panic. It reminds me when I told this story, because I got to tell it after the fact,

but when Charles was out of town, and Scottie fell off the first step. And it was remember I was watching the last final two minutes. Yeah. Like maybe Missou, Kansas. I forgot about that. And when it happened, I like, oh, my God.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I was kind of like, yeah, she fell earlier when I'm on FaceTime with Charlie. And then the next week I'm like telling the story. I'm for the dads. I'm like, I was fucking watching football.

You know. And you just feel, God, you just feel so shudy. Because then when they're acting out that way, like you're having that Dragon Ball Z kind of compulsion. Just trying. charging up the biggest cry. All that emotion, nowhere to put it. So, fellows yesterday, because Taylor called checked in when he saw that, uh, the gas leak,

that the slight gas leak and shout out Piedmont, they got over, no free shots of Piedmont. But they got, uh, they got over pretty quickly and fixed everything. Oh, nice. But we were like, I don't know what was happening. We were kind of checking the power out of situation. And come to find out, our service has not transferred over. Power is still, power was still out no matter what. Yeah.

Oh, he never moved his AT&T. No, no, not the AT&A. He's not about power to the house. N.S. is still at the old house. We didn't get transferred over. So it's still under the builder's name. I forgot how it came up.

Yeah. But again, I forget how it came up. But the ball is basically sitting in my hands because there's texts. There's exchanges that I was the one responsible for transferring the power over. from the old house to the new house. Which is the only place you don't ever want to be. Yeah. And so I'm calling NES, not about power outers,

but I'm like, hey, can I need a transfer service over? How long was that way not old? The problem was, is I couldn't find the account information and all of our information, like billing and all that with NES, because it was connected to, like, my login and password is connected to my old email that just stopped working all of a sudden, like a couple years ago.

go. So I'm trying to find it. I'm like, son of a bitch. I was like, I can't figure this out. And Charles, like, so you said that you were going to handle the electric? Because Charles trying to look through her stuff figuring out like all the different parts of moving houses. Like, who had what responsibility? Oh, no. And I'm like, yeah. Yeah, that one, it's solely on me. I said I was going to do it on like December 22nd. Just, you know, probably figured out like, oh, I can't find the account information. I'll try and find it later than pleading the brain, that brain kicks the can down the road. CT6. Ct6.

CX in. And I just get lucky eventually probably my third try logging into NES through my old email. Really? Like finally getting the password right. And I'm like, hey, got on the phone. Lady was awesome. They fixed and they get

everything transferred over. Like the old house is actually getting shut down today. The new one is getting transferred over today. That was a moment too where I'm like, fuck. I won't. I feel like Charles feeling it. I'm feeling it. Again, it's the latter part of the day where just all of the obstacles that have just been coming through all the, the five days of the power outage and everything else going on with the house. And again, kids have just been in the house. Schools been canceled all week long. Like you swim in any lesson, they're all canceled. The delivery stuff derailed. And I'm just, I feel in Charlott. I'm just thinking to myself, fuck. Oh, God. That was a, that was like a, that was like a dad husband-law. That's a responsibility.

responsibility. Yeah. Happens all of us. You're not alone in that. I have a dad. But it's like the thing, you know, it's, you know, then the wifey's like, let's do this. You hear the size every now and then.

And maybe I'm making it up in my head because I don't want to put her on full blast right now, but I'm just thinking, please don't. I'm thinking in my head, don't mention the electric to me again. Because I know this is all my fault. Yeah. And I'm handling it. Yeah. You haven't handled it for the last few weeks.

I'm handling it. Yeah. Now it's getting handled. Don't matter what it doesn't matter what happened a month ago. Yeah. We're here now. Yeah. We're getting it done.

That's the, you know, you just like let somebody down and you just know it's all on you. Yeah. And you're just like, you're already beating the shit out of yourself. Right.

But when she comes down from, for bedtime, because I got to do Scotty, so I was done first. She's up there with Rue. I get to figure out the rest of the way while she's up there with Rue. So that way when she came down on my,

hey, power's transferred over. Got to take care of it. Let's go. It's kind of like the power out of just worked in your favor. It's like, hey. Yeah. But then you do the retroactive thinking on I needed to have this urgency.

If I would have just had this urgency back when I needed to do it, this is my own war. This is my own self-talking myself at this point. Because I'm thinking I just caught a slight dub. Hey, it's all handled. Relax. You can relax. Right.

A very simple dad hack, by the way, with the NES or any water bill or anything, I cut out on the, when they mail it to you, I cut out the account number. And I tape it to like somewhere where you know where to find. find it, like the inside of our pantry and I keep it there. And then I know whenever I need to check all my stuff where my info's at. That is smart. I think about things of that nature. And I just also think like, I'm so dumb. I'm going to forget where I put whatever it is. Oh, yeah. Well, and the only time that Jill has ever threatened to leave me was when we came home

to no power because I thought we were on autopay and we were not on auto pay. So our electricity was out and she said if I ever come back to a home with you where the power is out because you forgot to pay the bill, I'm done. I said no taken. No taken. Oh, done. 88 now at the gate done. Yeah.

No. Yeah. She said that. Why I'm saying? Hey, it made with the APR. You said that, honey. She did. She did. Or I'm done. Or I'm done. Walked it out. Walked out of the room immediately. This whole thing. You'll be turning in your iPad

tomorrow if you don't get this figured out yeah yeah yeah he did we do need to get to uh voicemail yeah yeah um this one is titled just wait until hey guys this is duane davis from about off of georgia and uh i am in the trenches right now but this call isn't really a motherfucker or i guess it could be a crack of cold one just for all the dads my wife and i heard a million times the wait until wait until they poop on your hand wait until they wake up

it was so frustrating hearing all that because we're six months in and we're still waiting because yeah we've got shit on our hands we're not sleeping but it's the most awesome thing

I've ever done such a huge calling and a blessing but I heard a caller one time on the show say he couldn't wait for the kids put themselves asleep. And I agree with Will.

What you said, man, was, uh, enjoy it. It's going to go by so fast. Yeah. Everybody expecting or in the trenches and you keep hearing people say, well, just wait until this or wait until that. Just tell them to go fuck themselves. It's all beautiful, man. Thanks guys.

Keep fighting a good fight. Thank you, Dwayne. Dwayne. I love that calling because it's, I, like, I agree with that. The whole wait until stuff, like, time goes by so fast. I try to, it's like I even try to reserve myself when I'm talking about, you know, wait until they get to 16 months when the personality comes life or wait until they can walk. It's going to be so much better this and that. I do my best to bite my tongue because it's so finite how long we get to be with the kids to where there are going to be times where you're missing the little footsteps or you're missing having to go up in their room or whatever it is.

It's just like, dude, do your best because it's impossible. Like you're going to get frustrated all the time. Yeah. But do your best to try and embrace all the moment. Because again, when it's gone, like I talk about that digital frame that we have up in the house where you see all the old photos and this, that, the other. And you just miss them being little. I made the comment the other day at trial. I'm like, I mean, I don't want Scotty to get any bigger. Because I just know them both now. As Rube being three, having her long hair, having her personality, putting words and sentences, like doing all this stuff, coming into her own and just kind of towering over Scotty right now. And Scottie's just, you know, a little one-year-old. And she's just got her little, her little stands and stature where she's just kind of, you know, rules around the house, walks around, there's her little stomp, ah,

there's like all over little things to where it's like, I don't want that to be gone. I know there's better things that's going to come and all that's going to be awesome, but I just always like, I'm such a,

we talk about all the time. We cry all the time now. I'm just such a sad boy when it comes to, De Keno's growing up and getting out of this phase. This morning I was telling Rue, hey, Rue,

do you remember how you say together? And she was butchering it. I'm like, no, you say, Dedaega, to Dega. Because she's like, to gaier, to gaier, together. But now she's like, because she'll let me know

that she says together and like rolls the THER. She's got it down now. And I just missed the Tadaga. I missed the Tadagas. I just miss all those little words. So it is. It's like I'm with, yeah, the whole like when people are like, oh, just wait until this or wait until that,

it's like, yeah, I get you. But just embrace every moment that you have. Like it's all, every phase is going to be shitty. Every phase is going to have the ups and downs with it. But don't rush it. It's old adage is like the days are long and the years are short. Yeah. Because it really is.

Like there's days you're just like, bro, if I could just get 20 minutes to myself to kind of recharge my batteries and get back to neutral, that'd be amazing. But at the end of the day, like every opportunity you take with your kids now is going to pay dividends in the future. Yeah. It's just like rolling, rolling and like investing in a stock over and over again. Eventually it's going to be massive.

It just depends how much you want to invest. Yeah. Like that one day when you crack a cold beer with them or crack a cold lollipop and they're older and their adults, those moments and memories are going to be incredible. Like I'm not above saying that. I'm not a huge fan of the diaper face. I'm not. I don't.

I don't. I'm not into that. But like looking at my eight year old now and remembering like you talk about together and how they pronounce it like when when she was really young, she would say a home all time. Talking about a home. A home. And she would give kisses mouth wide open.

And it was. Yeah. You like, if you want to give her kiss and then the lips would just go over here. I guess that's a kiss. And you think like, You remember being in that moment, being so stressed with the situation,

but then you, like, sit here now, and I'm looking at her, like, when Wynn goes to bed now, I'll put a little asleep, and I'll go and when I will just read. And she will, she has her book out, like, she's like these comic-style books

called Wings of Fire. And she's, like, we'll just read. She'll go and I'll come home and she'll just be reading. Like, we just, like, do things together. I'm like, yeah, like, just wait till this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then you get a moment where, like,

literally last night we're telling stories to the family that we, that are staying with us because their power's out. they have no generator or nothing. And I'm like, we're talking about 2019 when we were in California and Will, uh, Wynne was there and Boa-Boh-Bahn, you started to look at old photos and you're like,

dude, I've missed that. I missed like how little and how they used to the way they operated. But it's like, every phase you got to embrace and enjoy as much as possible because my next phase is dating. And I'm going to kill. How much, uh, how much,

like, is it fear or stuff goes on? it in your mind that like the older they get obviously the kids separate more from us like when they have their own friends and dad's not as cool because you're you're getting like closer yeah there's already a phase of that going on in my household right now with win um she's she has friends over all the time they always want to come over whether it's uh like Natalie Bates's girl she'll bring she'll bring all the kids over and they'll play the whole time but like uh they're they're still in the phase where like they want me to play too and if there's anything as a father

I can be like, I'm really good at this. It's playing. Yeah. You're an elite player. I will go into playing and I'll be like the next three hours of my life is just this is what I'm doing. So I can go in there and play and the kids can have fun with me. They enjoy being around me more because they'll know that I'll go do the things they want to do. But you see her win, like I'd have the conversation with Wynn one time.

It was like probably less than six months ago and she told me, she's like, hey, dad, like, I feel kind of weird when you kiss me on the lips. Oh, man, that breaks my heart, dude. What do you mean? She's like, because you're a boy and, she goes, well, you're a man. I'm like, you damn right. She's like, correct.

I just feel like when, you know, when I'm with people and all that, like maybe we do a kiss in the cheek now. And I told her, I was like, sweetie, I'll always be willing to kiss you, like give you a kiss and love you up. But whatever makes you feel comfortable and however you want this relationship to go, it's up to you. Because eventually you're going to be, we have like, the thing about when and.

And Will is getting there too. It says very profound things at times. Like the way she's very observant and very aware, which is really cool to see. But like sometimes you just got to be like, yeah, man. All right. If you don't want me to kiss you in the lips anymore, that's perfectly fine. So every day is a kiss in the cheek now. And I haven't kissed her.

We accidentally kissing the lips like a week ago. And one was like, oh, I was like, yeah, yeah, my bad. Didn't mean to, blah. But it's just crazy. It's crazy, like how things are changing. and when's so good about being aware of feeling the feeling of wanting to be around friends a little bit more. Like when I'm playing with my friends, hey, can I play with my friends? I'm like, yeah, I'll fall back, no problem.

And then she'll be like, all right, come come hang out now. But it's constant communication about it. Because we sit there in bed, dude, and I'll tell when. I'll be like, dude, someday you're not going to want to hang out with me and mom. Like, you're going to, she's like, why would you say that? I was like, it's just what happens. You're heartbreaking in real time. Yeah.

And I'm like, you're going to, you're going to want to explore friends. friendships, explore relationships, explore boys. Like, you're going to learn about all these things. And mommy and daddy will, like, be, like, lesser than for a little bit. And our hope is that we create this foundation for you in a loving household to where you just eventually, like, come back around. Because that's what happens when you go through puberty and all these things. And we talk about kissing. We talk about how it all works and relationships and that. And it's, like, it's very weird. It's weird, but it's like also fulfilling because a lot of kids, like, me, I don't know how you guys were.

You kind of just found out about this stuff watching TV. Oh, big time. Your friend would tell you about it. Like, you know, all, like all those things. And so with Wayne, it's like she's curious enough to ask me and mom questions about it. So I tell her, I'm like, Telen's mom

at a young age, she told, and this is Miss Tanna, she's an absolute queen. But she's like, hey, just so you know, boys will fuck anything. She will, they will, Taylor was like 12 years old. Yeah. She goes, they'll fuck anything.

They'll have sex with a pillow. They'll do this. They'll do that. Like, this is how boys operate. Like, they will just want to. Yeah.

Now, the win, when we talks me about kissing, but I have it when we talk about kissing like as like the talk. Like I might, hey, listen,

boys will tell you anything that you can to get you to kiss them. And when you kiss them, there's going to be a level of like fulfillment that some boys don't want to stay around, but some boys are like, I want to kiss somebody else now to see if I like kissing them better. And that's just how it goes.

me like how many people have you kissed? I'm like, a couple, you know? Just your mom, just your mother. No, I'm honest. I'm like, well, I'm not like, you know, honest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, I tell her I'm honest.

I'm like, hey, I've kissed people. I've kissed other people. I've kissed other people. She asked me about other girlfriends and why didn't work and all these things. And she's like learning about how to establish relationships. And she asked me, she's like, how do I know if I'm going to find the right person?

I was like, can I just tell you how it universally works? and it moves in a lot of different ways is you're going to watch your mom and your mom is going to show you how you should allow a man to treat you. So the way I treat your mom and your mom accepts the way I treat her

is the way you're going to accept the way another man treats you. So that's going to help you find those borders. Your dad is going to show you what kind of man you should be with because you're around me more than anybody. Like I am technically you're, I am your first love.

She gets all bashful. So I'm like, yeah, we love each other And I am the only man in your life that you see every single day. And you see the way I operate. You see how I talk to people. You see how I treat people. You see I treat your mother. What I do for your mother, what I don't do for your mother, where the friction is.

Every time me and telling has ever been in a fight, and it's only been like two or three times in front of our kids, we make sure to have a resolution in front of them. So they know that like, you don't just fight and you move on. You have a resolution on them. So I tell them like, hey, you're going to look for qualities in a man that you marry based off of me, whether you kind of like that or not. And that is going to, like, that's how it's going to be.

And it's, it's tough, dude. It's tough to have those. Do you have a framework in your head right now of when you will allow her to start dating or like what you want dating to look like at all? Not really. Because if she's like me, it'll be whatever boundaries you put in front of me. I'm going to go across those boundaries. Yeah.

And so it truly is just foundation and community. for me right now and like you're gonna be able to identify the not not good boys which is the good boys yeah and like kind of helping her be like this is how a not good boy acts this is how a good boy acts your daddy's been both let me show you how they are and we literally will role play these things with our hands and I'll be like boys do you think to kiss you're like well how's that work and I'll be like hey you're trying to kiss yeah that ain't far off I'd be like what do you like she's like like animals I like being outside of this and I'll be, I'll be the boy. I'll be like, I love animals. Do you live animals?

Yeah, I love being outside. It's amazing. Well, can we hang out? Like, yeah, I'd love to hang out. Like, I'll see you tomorrow. Go to sleep. Come back. Hey, so then he's keep talking to like, can I kiss you? And she's like, well, no, I don't really. And I'll just go. I actually don't even like animals and I'll walk away. It'll be like, that's kind of how goes to them. Boys will tell you whatever you want to hear, you should get that kiss. And it's heartbreaking. I like the, I like the approach, though, because again, you're like, if you feel boundaries, you'll there are people out there that understand that mentality of the rebellious or I'm going to find

and go over those boundaries. But it feels like too, it's like you can almost create the boundaries through all the foundational work of everything. So it's like almost the boundaries established. It's not like you're creating friction. I'd be like, hey, here's the boundary. Right. Because I said so.

The boundary is, foundationally, we've set it. I haven't said it. But we together, like father and daughter have set this boundary for us. And we know. And one thing I've realized to you is kids do so much better. my kids do so well with visually things like when and willa both want to like do more they want to be

more independent yeah so all those show up like okay this is you this is your life these are the things we allow you to do as parents and this is you right in the middle this all i pop as you'd older this goes farther and farther and if you go over here i got to bring it back here and then they like see that now like okay that's this is the amount of freedom you have now 9 10 11 12 and the kids that resonates with them for whatever reason. The hand gestures, the talk, like, instead of just like telling them things, heading more the quote once in a while, that they're like, what the, what are we doing here with this quote? Let's you ask. Let's break it down. Yeah, exactly. It's like using. Get the can.

The puppet thing or the hand or the can. Exactly. It's just crazy, man. Parent is so, so fulfilling, so scary. Because you think you're doing good, but you don't know you're doing good until it's done. And then they're like adults. So they become adult. And if they're doing well or operating well, people speak well of them. And how do you measure them, doing well? Is it a successful job? Is it the relationship they have? Is it the friends they have around them? Is it because they want to be around you? Like, what are the things that make you a successful parent? Yeah. And it's kind of, it's, it's, it's terrifying. But every day, if you, like, now you're taking care of the little things. Yeah. You're not as annoyed at the end of the

night. Have you, uh, have you thought about what your first combos or anything will be like with the first boy that comes to the house in taking, say, takes win on a date? Yeah. lots. How does it go? God bless that boy. What's the movie with 50 cent when the guy comes over to take his girl the proms?

Dead of thieves? Yeah, where you take it out of the garage all those black guys he's like, now we've been raising. You got the bad boys too. This is your response.

Exactly. I thought about that. I thought about like, they're walking out the door. And hey, hey buddy, John's called him John. John, and he looks back at me and I toss a shotgun and shell at him.

I go, comes a lot faster after 10 p.m. Something like that. Like hit him with a bar. But it's also 2026, so like, can you do that? Is Taylor the one tried to kill me or threaten to kill me? We had a PT-6 or ride in one time saying that whenever, say, they have to be home by nine. Yeah. Nine o'clock grows around to where the car's pulling in.

Dad's just outside doing chores around the house. You know, the guy knows, like, you're not going to be able to sit in the driveway very long. Yeah, I like that. Yeah. They're a little too long. You're out there just like raking. And what are we doing? Snowing outside.

You're raking snow. Yeah. I guess I really have. haven't thought of how that conversation, because it was to sit down, like, what are your intentions of my daughter? Yeah. But I like to be more like, I don't care if they like me or not, but I want them to know how involved I am in my daughter's lives.

Right, right. And so I guess it's like figuring out a way to land that plane that I haven't really dove too much into. Hopefully have a few more years. Like maybe I've thought about maybe just like putting a montage video together of all the father-daughter moments and just sitting there and as he's watching, you start to cry. Like as he's watching the video. And he just let him know, like, she's been my, my responsibility, my entire life.

She's going to go and get in the car with you. And now she's about to be your responsibility. It almost makes me terrible. You're talking about. I'm like, God. I told Will. Like legitimately like, hey, when she talks about Seatbelt, anything going on her instinct has been navigated by her being our responsibility, her entire life.

Yeah. And now she's going to go in your vehicle because you have a seatbelt story. I think you dating. I was, well, she's going to go in your vehicle. and now she's going to be your responsibility. And I don't know if it's paying, whatever you revolve to bring that back around, but hopefully you just make the gentleman feel

that they're now taking out like the most important thing in the world. Yeah, there's an element of pressure. That is a good dad hack as far as like, I wasn't dating said girl, but I had a father essentially, one, he got my number without asking me for my number. So that was a little jarring.

And then also just told me essentially what Will said of like, hey, she's 17 years old. She's gotten here because of me. Like I am the reason that she is here. She is now in your vehicle. So anything that happens from that point on, that's because of you. And he never threatened me or anything. But he was like, my daughter's safety is in your hands. I need both hands on the steering wheel.

And that just let me know with her. like hey if you're and I wasn't looking to date her but I was like whoever's dating that girl like they're going to be on their piece and cues because dad's letting them know yeah I'm on my piece and cue so you better be too buddy yeah which I liked it like it was cool to get them to like respect their instinct like if you're out at a wherever you're at there's a little maybe discomfort or you ask a question and you might see a little double take or a pause like trying to get them to feel or respect with that instinct I don't I don't know it's something that I I feel like all dads sit there and juggle on like, man, what's it going to be like?

Yeah, when that first boy knocks at the door. I love Mr. Luan. It's like, oh, what? I know your game, pal. Yeah, yeah, Mr. Luan. Yeah, sit your ass down. I don't know, with our kids, we are extremely blunt. Like, we try to be as clear as possible about every situation, whether it's them understanding the concept of death.

Like when Talon's grandmother died, like, it wasn't. and like, well, she went, it's like, hey, she is gone. And we're all going to miss her. We're all allowed to feel these emotions. But like, she can't come back because that's what it is. And with them and dating, it'll be the same thing. Like, boys, I will tell when, listen, are you going to start to fuck you? I know it's crazy to say.

And it's kind of like. But once they're at that age, they're hearing stuff like that. If you're 16 years old, it's like, dude, this is the reality. And like, every boy's- And you're basically letting them know, like, I speak the language you hear about it. Right, right. I've been down this road. Yeah.

Like trying to date a girl. And with hormones and the way they are, like, this is how they're all going to think. They're all going to think. Like, my kids both like their mother. They're both going to be very beautiful girls. And that sucks, but it's also nice. And it's like, understand your beauty is not your identity. That to me is one of the biggest things.

Yeah. When the dads come up to you that you might just be acquaintances or just meet out and about out in the wild and they just come up to, like, are you a girl dad? They see that your two girls and they're like, good luck, buddy. Yeah. I know. I hate to cut it short because we are past Will's cutoff officially by 10 minutes. Would we want to go into our lesson of the week?

Do we have any other themes? Hang on. Let me look at the notes. Go to Kid Stack. Ooh, yes. Go to Kid Stack. This is not going to be like this is not going to be one that everyone's like. Oh, yeah, for sure, but jerky.

Ooh. Matured. Yeah. Mature palette. Yeah. Maybe back in the day, is there, was there like a go-to snack that you're like, I need it? We need to make sure we have this. Because ours right now, it feels like is applesauce.

And it's got to be the cupped applesauce. Can't be the squeezer anymore. We're too old for the squeezes it's now. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, no. Yes. By the way, we got to.

Yeah, go-to, the go-to snack is like yogurt, honey, granola. Like, that's the, that's a good. That's the mood. That's the move. That's the move. And staple and it's like, I'm hungry. I want this.

And we got all the, Taylorin, tailon does not care about designer bags. She doesn't care about nice vehicles. She doesn't care about jewelry. She cares about quality of food. That is the tailon.

That's, that's, that's like number one thing. Yeah. She would joke. She would say, even when I would have like $80 to my name, I'd spend more than half of it on a good steak.

Like that. I love that. Yeah. Like, that's what she cares about. She dresses, essentially, if you see me,

like she's the girl version of how I dress. Yeah, every time you see her same mouth. Yeah, same out. Exactly. And so she's like big on like preparing snacks, having the best, if you're going to have a bagged like essentially processed snack, it's like got to be no seed oil, no this, know that, like that. Yeah. Perfect.

And so but jerky for us is like our kids are we cut it. Jason cuts it. And then we put it in a dehydrator, season that bowl. Oh, y'all are doing your own jerky. Bone jerky. tailing cans her own peaches. She cans her own tomatoes. That's so sick.

During the summertime. So we have like a whole like a backstock of everything. Yeah. We have bees. So we have over 200 pounds of honey every single year. So Tailing is,

she's dialed. We still have you also. A lot of colors. A lot of good colors in the panes in the fridge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Love that. Go to snack.

Breast milk. In or out. And. Yeah. Tasting it? Yeah. You see his hat right now? Come on now.

Come on, man. I'm just trying to make sure. You know what? Yeah. I took a couple of a couple of What's it called when they first, what's it called? Colostrum? Yeah. Yeah.

Throwed in some coffee? That's got a little something extra to it, no? Yeah? Yeah, if it's good for kids in development, why can't it be good for a 34-year-old? Come on, man. Let's go. Get a little cow colostrum? Our brains are still developing.

Yeah, no doubt. We need to rebuild our brains a little bit. 66. Yeah, have it. Get a little sheep colostrum, cow colostrum. I will say I've never tasted it. Oh, you have it? Oh, brass milk or colostrum?

Both. Okay. Both. Okay. I see, I took a couple of sips. I took a couple of tips It's really not that bad And even doing that I felt like

I think I ever intentionally Because one of my old neighbors He's like bro you got to drink the breast milk He's big on brother He matter of fact He was so far on it to where he's like If you have any left over I'll take it Oh no

Oh no I'm telling you he's in easy Charo was standing there Or sorry Charo was standing there When he right? Is that the story? I'm like that's bold Dude And he's like I'm telling me

I found the youth He's like I'm telling you. I'm telling you. Dive in. I think there's, I think there is a lot of like science. Yeah,

there's a lot of science or something on it. That's a true M.T. Sicko. Yeah. That's crazy. But some people are about it like that. Good for them. Some people are about it. So you never tried it.

It didn't taste bad. No. It is my note. Maybe on the. Come on. Do we? Yeah. So slip up and say something.

I know. And I think it's a good time because we are running over your time that you do have to leave. you guys know this you guys know this in the back I did lie at the beginning of this podcast I said I've only been through buds twice

you did I've now been through buds three times and I am having a third child let's go I thought this would be the most fitting place to announce it to the world let's go yes yes so do we go any farther oh you want to talk about the gender

I just you know I want to talk about the gender of my young boy than I'm having to do. Now I did hear something really scary. We're waiting. We got to do the genetic testing. Okay. And then it'll confirm that it's a boy.

Yeah. But everything I've seen on that ultrasound, buddy, we got. We got ourselves a boy on our hands, all right? What is it? The curse is broken. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly.

Because there were some things that scared me. Since I've told you guys about it, where they're like, hey, you got to make sure the 20 week thing. And then you dial that in, that we'll know for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Could be this, could be just swollen labia. I'm thinking, that's a big-ass lady.

What was the movie, 40-year-old virgin? You sure you don't use it, you lose it? No, no, where he's got, he's got the, like, ultrasound on the TV. He's like, look at his dick. No, yeah, yeah. Is that not his foot? That ain't a foot. Yeah, he got a big dick.

But if it is actually a boy, which I'm 95% sure it is, I can't wait, man. I'm so excited to find out what it's like. I told, I've told Talon. I'll have as many kids as you want. This is in the beginning. But if we have two girls, I'm done. I've been around too many guys that I've chased the boy over and over again. Then she's like, hey, maybe we should have another one.

I don't feel like we're like finished yet. Yeah. I'm like kind of in. Then I pull back out. And then I'm like, you know what? Maybe we will. So I was playing this toxic relationship style. A little cat and mouse game.

Not a fun game for Tailing to play. Finally, I'm like, okay, let's do it. And you asked me to put a PowerPoint together one time. Yeah. Because I was like, because I eventually went to tail on I was like, we got to have another kid. And the conversation stem from us being on the bus when all you guys got to bully me.

Oh, yeah, I called Taylor. Yeah, I called Taylor. Like, you're never going to be mad at him. I guess we have a third. I guess we're going to have a third. She's like, I'm not going to have a third because you guys just, if you want to have one, you need to like prove it to me. Yeah, put them all back in your court again.

So I went to Sherm and I was like, we might have to make a PowerPoint of why we didn't have a third. All the cute shit that you had Jill gone through. We're having a third child. My kids will be nine and six when this one is born. Come on. Scary, but also kind of fired up about that.

Yeah, because both of them are very, they're very, like great with young kids. Like, Roo, for example, when she comes over, when and Willow will come over,

grab her hand, take her upstairs. Like, they've all gone so good with little kids. That's a little bit of my house. Like, if it's boys,

like I'm six years older than Wyatt. I don't feel like I was that, you're nurturing. Yeah, as like an older brother six years old. But it feels like girls, dude, they just,

they're different, man. I've legit looked at one in the eyes but you're raising this one. I'm here to hang. Like, you need something for me to let me know, but I'm falling back. Yeah, like, you know I don't do the diaper face. We're going to get you some training.

Buddy. Bro, when's going to crush it. That's one thing. Willow too, man. Yeah. That's the crazy thing, too, is, wins, like, I don't know if you were going to feel this way. But, like, when all the first, her first are my first as well.

Yeah. And them walks, and them talks and the other us. It's more, like, it's like, oh, awesome. Willow, she's walking. Oh, awesome, she's talking. But it wasn't like, it wasn't the first. So it feels like she's kind of getting overshadowed a little bit.

And so we've recently been like, look how great Willow is all the things Willow's doing. Because Willow's like way more developed a five than when was. And we tell me, like, hey, let's just listen. Your sister might be a damn genius. Yeah. And it's just interesting how like the second one works.

And now I'm having a third. I know. And you can almost kind of foresee a little bit like the middle child stuff. because again, all the first with the first one, then you got in your situation, Willow, and then the baby's going to come in. Right.

And it's like the baby's going to be catered to when Willow is the one being catered to a lot of the time because they were the baby for a while. And then this kind of middle child stuff formed because they're not experiencing the first of everything. They now have the awareness to be like, oh, when's going through all the first of these things. Yeah. Now I got somebody younger than me that all the entire world's around this baby right now. The age gap will benefit. Like I think it will help.

They have like two girls. They're like, and like Wynn and Willow, they're great at playing. That's a good point, too. They love playing. And so like, they can go do the thing all day. And Walsh's great about bringing her along. Even when her older friends are there who's older than Wynn, Wynn's like, come on, Willow. She does a good job of being all the time, but she does a good job of it.

So Will, it's like being intentional about like there's, hey, by the way, like, you're as much a part of this family as anybody. Like you want to juice them up a little bit without like being too babying. Yeah. And so it'll be, it'll be an interesting dynamic for sure. But you're very aware of like, oh, I understand. why the middle child, you know, stigma kind of comes up a little bit. For sure.

Yeah. Fired up, bro. Yeah, I'm, dude. Got you a little, little offspring coming. I did say, yeah, you know what I'm saying?

I said broke the curse earlier. I do just want to put out there. That is not, uh, that's not a bad thing. It's just an inside joke at the office that if you work at bus in, that you will only have a girl is become a joke. Is not a curse to you have girls?

I'm sure you'll understand that. Oh, Not a curse. I have girls. Having girls is the best because I've been around boys. Inside guy joke. Inside busing guy joke. Takes a man to make a man.

You ain't making a boy. You ain't making a man. Come on, Willie. What you got? The girls. The girls are, like I've been around a bunch of boys,

young boys, psychopaths. Fit for a straight jacket. They don't want to swim, but they jump at the deep end. What are we doing? Yeah. And I do love like Instagram parent stuff

when like that has a slow mo of like a kid, a guy pretending to be a kid. He's like when kids sees a corner. And they're just like, dive headfirst. That's just hilarious to me. I'm like, that's a boy. That's a boy right there.

Get him a helmet. Let him roll. Okay. Topic quote, less than a week. There's one I found. Speaking of dad stuff on Instagram, this one comes from a level up dad. This is a little,

this could be a tear jerker. Okay. Try to keep the tears in. Over under. Lock in. Right now. Are we trying not to cry here? I don't think so.

I just, I have no clue where my feelings start going when I'm reading something. Okay. One day, they won't run to the door when I walk in, and I won't know it was the last time. No little footsteps racing down the hallway. No shouts of dad's home echoing to the house. Just quiet, the kind that reminds you how fast it all went.

The toys will all be packed away. The messes will be gone. The bedtime stories will turn into phone calls that come less and less. So while they still run to you, drop your bag, get on the floor, and soak it in. Because one day, you'll miss it. the chaos more than you can imagine. Don't rush these days. They're the ones you wish you could run back to.

That goes with the call-in. I hate that one. I want to say I was feeling that one. Yeah, all this stuff we're talking about with your kiddos being older. Yeah. That's, dude, yeah. That is a nightmare thought. Yeah.

Dude, I watched a parent trap the other day with my kids and I cried during that. Yeah. Bro. Movies cry during anything now. Movies are hitting different for me and I'm only six, Matt's in. When, yeah,

by the way, just wait until they get to two or down. Who's the? It's true, though. I'm sure. I do it to you

all the time. I know. It's never like, it's never like, it's never like, um, so it's like wait until this. It's like awesome moments you're talking about.

Yeah. It's never like the way this guy's talking, oh yeah, wait until you have to clean up this or clean up that shit. And there's a piece of me too. It's like, because my kids are so much older than your kids. I'm just like,

I feel like I'm like passing something like down. I, I feel like, a sense of like, hey, this is going to be awesome. And you tell me stories about where I'm like, and I remember that phase. Yeah. And it's just really, it's really cool.

Because you think too, like as a parent, you know for the most part, like between the ages of like, what, zero, four, they probably won't remember a whole lot of shit. Yeah. So in my brain, I almost feel like it's like a, whether it's like a spiritual thing or universal thing that the first few years, they're on the earth like for us to enjoy

as tough and as hard as it is, like as parents. They're like in the world for you to soak in and enjoy more so than you get to the spot store where you enjoy more when they are older and they can communicate with you better and you're having more fun with them and just like not trying trying my best like not lose side of that. Like when it is, you know, you're just getting stir crazy in the house and you're like, man, they just need you all the time when they're a three year old and especially the one year old. They just need you all the time which can like weigh on you,

especially when you start going back and forth with the wife a little bit or you can just feel the chaos kind of taking all of us in one moment. That's the toughest battle for me. And y'all brought it up earlier with like the diaper stage is I really do find myself after a long day of work. I'm doing that final diaper change, that final bottle. And I am powering through it. I am going as fast as possible to get her down as fast as possible.

And I truly do have to remind myself of like, dude, take your time and enjoy that. Like she is so happy right now. Yeah. She's not even crying. Or they wake up. She's smiling. They wake up in the middle of night. You're thinking of yourself.

Thank God she's not crying. Like, I got to get this baby to sleep. Yeah. I got to. Oh, man. It makes me a good bedtime. They're crying in the middle of the night. And you're kind of like playing a weird little game with the wife.

Like, can I just pretend to sleep right now? Like, is she going to get up quickly? Is she going to nudge me? Am I going to, you know? Oh, buddy. Yeah. I don't, I'll wake up sometimes. Like, I personally believe no one can sleep like me.

We have alarms going to say, hey. You got, you know. Make a little sleep talking too just to like really sell it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh. Hey, boys, great so.

Hey, I, great soed. I really appreciate you guys having me on. I know loaded the buses right there. Yeah. So it's like I'm not like I'm not around it, but it's- Appreciate you guys having me in my building. Yeah.

It is really cool to see you guys like build this. I see how fast it's growing. Be a part of it in this one episode. Would love to do it again with you guys. Yes. This is truly awesome. And then you're doing, like, you see the comments. Like the community is growing and it's like a therapy session.

It's been fun, bro. Yeah. But this is, you got to do more. It's like, I'm upset that I have to. Same. Because we could literally go for four hours. I was thinking the same thing. And just asking him questions since he's got, he's got the older ones.

I want, I want to ask you guys like, yeah, this could be a three hour podcast. Let's do it again soon. We should. Quarterly. You'll be almost getting reintroduced. You'll be having to go back in time and get reintroduced. Yeah. The things are, oh, I kind of forgot about that.

Oh, Dude, yeah, with baby boy coming to. I'm not looking forward to that. I'm not looking forward to. Call me a bad person. I don't like it. I don't like it. BT6, don't do that. Yeah. No, no, no.

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 2 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.
