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.

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 of Black City,

I hope the flowers are top of mind because Valentine's Day. is this weekend. The 14th, I believe, yes? The 14th. Make sure the trash is taken out. School lunches are packed. Swaddling is taken care of. Diapers are being changed. This is myself, Willie One Shelf, Will Compton. You got Fat Stafford, Sherman Young, co-hosting the show. This is, if you are new to this show, this is a podcast about dads being dads. Just simply put dads being dads. The best parts of fatherhood, and I won't say the worst parts. I'll say the

and the hardest parts of fatherhood. We talk about great storytelling with our wives, being a husband in the household, always being just that second-tier person in our household, really third-tier below the kids. You got, well, really, fourth-tier. You got wife, old kids, wife, pet, husband, for sure. And, yeah, we just take you on a journey.

We story-tell. We don't posture up here to be experts by any means in parenthood. We just love to share our stories of fatherhood, our journeys of fatherhood and laugh a little bit. Have fun with you guys. Make sure you slide open. Like you're a couple of dads. You're sitting in the garage. Cracking open an ice cold olipop with the boys.

But yeah, that's that was my intro. That is the intro. We also read comments from our listeners. So if you guys comment on Spotify, Apple Pod, the Amazon one,

the YouTube, Galaxy Pod. And then we also have a call in feature and an email feature that's that's going to be like a huge part of this week's show is you call into 601 the dads and we'll play your voicemail on the show and if you don't want your voice to be heard or maybe your international listener you can write into 601 the dads at gmail.com and then we'll read your email as well yeah this is a very this is like a special edition this is like a valentine's day episode as shirm was saying we have voicemail multiple voicemails. Usually we do one or two per episode, depending on where we're at on time. Everybody knows Papa Team Six, Milk Team Six, all of our teams out there know we try to keep every episode under an hour. So based on where we're at with time, that is when how many voicemails we dive into, how many emails we dive into. I have a fat stack of emails, just like Sherm does. We have a fat stack of emails writing in on your Valentine's Day stories. Valentine's Day shenanigans coming up. We're going to go through probably at least five voicemails, but this is very much an audience.

centric episode today. We'll talk about cracking a cold one. We'll have some stuff at the top. Of course we'll have, of course we'll have Dan Gable quotes. Yeah. But we're ripping and roaring. We just got back from Super Bowl week last week. So again, this is a very special edition for the dads where it is mainly about the audience

with a couple stories from fatherhood at the top. And also, we have a new sit-in. We have a substitute teacher this week. Substitute teacher, Jared Beeman, or as we like to call him, Jared Deeman. He is sitting in for chef, for chef Jack, your captain of Seaman Team 6. Jared is also an ST-Sixer as well. Always joined by Deke in the back, the Funkle. Let's rip and have a great show, boys.

However, we do have our Valentine's Day merch at bwtb.com. We have our Milk Team 6. The shirt is beautiful. The amount of comments I got last week at Super Bowl week for this Milk Team 6. Honestly, right from the jump, I walk in the airport and the security, the security gal is like, oh, what's that hat saying? I'm like, Milk Team 6. She's like, what's that mean? And I'm like, it's like a shout out to the moms.

I have a show. I would honestly, this is going to be awkward if I sit here and explain Milk Team 6 to you right now. But it's Mom a Team 6. She started laughing. She's like, all right, I'll have to get one. I was like, BWTB.com. But right from the start of Super Bowl week, just comments. about these hats.

I saw the Bring the Juice Pod guy. I used to make memes for him back in the day. Yeah, that's what you're saying. But I saw him ask you the milk check question. I was like, I wonder if he thought that like that was in reference to a milk check joke. Who knows? They were, they were a few drinks in when I was. Oh, for sure.

I could smell it on him. Yeah, he's hit me up to go out with him in Nashville before when he's in town. I can tell those some boys that get after. Those some boys that get after. They love a little. good white football player. They throw down in Fresno. They throw down. But he's good peeps. That's hilarious. Good news. Our power came back on last Thursday. Dude, that's wild. On day 11 or 12. So last week when I took off when we left on Monday for the Super Bowl, I see a tweet saying that water pipe busted or something

and there were two streets affected. Our street was one of those two. So I sent it to my wife and I'm like, hey, is everything all right? She's like, I think so, but I'm not back at home right now. Oh, man. She gives me a text later, like, yeah, the water's out. But that got fixed in several hours, but again, just the war of the ice storm that came through Nashville. There's like the internet, the power was out 11 or 12 days. The water.

We had a small gas leak at one point in time. That got fixed right away. Nobody would be concerned. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the war, now that we're in, it's sunshine outside. It's in the 60s today. Beautiful outside. We need to do some.

kind of reverse curse because there's been a lot of people of fact Jared got hit with it you got hit with a multitude of things Derek's car luck has just been do do do we got to do some kind of reverse curse so you got a lot of car trouble going on and have you been saying every time the birth of those stories was I get to do this well I had the flat tire to get pizza forever ago I had the flat tire the other day on the tire that I replaced with it got some version of rear ended coming in to work this morning and combine that family dog down. Yeah. It's been a year already.

Yeah. And we're in February. Get to. We're in February. Get to. Get to. Get to. 2026, the year of get to.

Good. Good. Yeah. I'll tell you what. Some good moments I was having to have some real self-talk with myself. Because when I flew in back, back from the Super Bowl, wife and I going on the fertility. So for everybody, I actually saw right in where they refer to Ivy. Yeah, they're starting an IVF last week for our IVF transfer.

So we'll get into comments and emails here in a little bit. Yeah. Wife and I are in the fertility journey right now on the march for number three. Knock on wood. It's all, we're all hopeful about stuff. But I had to fly back because boy had to, you know what I mean? Yeah, you had to cash in. I had to prepare a seed for a cup.

Yeah, you just had to cash in. So I had to take a red eye on Friday. Had to leave because we had a form energy thing the next day. And it was like, okay, it has to be on. Friday or Saturday. I'm like, we have too many obligations on Friday. Would it work if I come in Saturday morning? Like, yeah, if you can find a flight. And so get on a shoutout kayak, no free shoutouts. But I'm kind of looking. I'm like, all right, what flights can give me back? And the only options were red eye that took off it at midnight, West Coast time. Was that Pacific? Yeah. Yeah, Pacific time.

Pacific time. So I take a red eye and there's a stop in Houston. So stop off in Houston, about a three-hour flight or a little over three hours from San Francisco to Houston. Do you de-board at all? Yeah, get off the plane. Oh, wow. Two-hour layover. Oh, wow. And then from Houston at like seven in the morning flying to Nashville.

I probably landed in Nashville around 9.30. Hello. Went straight. You know what I mean? Yes. And the amount I slept was probably I got two and a half hours in on the first leg. But the second leg, I was just wired up. I was kind of just ready to get, whatever it was. Yeah. But I'm going in. I'm like, man, it's going to be a long day, bro.

two and a half hours of sleep on a plane. I'm going to get home. Oh, I forgot. I'm going to get home and like, hopefully I can just find some time to take a nap. But hey, two and a half hours sleep, we got to operate good. Yeah.

Right when I land. Or as like everything gets done, it's like, hey, let's go get breakfast. Charo has one of her best friends in town. Yes. And she's awesome. And I'm fired up. She's in town.

Yeah, yeah. She's in town with Charo, like their homies. Like they get to link up. they rarely get to maybe like once a year they see each other yes so i'm happy for yes we go out and eat breakfast it's it's me charro best friend and our two kiddos and we're operating i'm seeing the girls we're hugging loving on them it's been i've been gone for what five days i believe we're gone yeah money through friday so i'm fired up to see the fam because i was itching to get back home and uh you go throughout the day and and then at the end of breakfast she's like hey my wife would you

want to just take the kids with you home and then we can go out. Teddy and I can go out and hit some shop and just, you know, do some girl stuff. I look at my wife. I'm like, yeah, if that's what you want me to do. Yeah. Hit her with one of those. Yeah. Fortunately, it's like, hey, I'll take one of them. We got to go back to the house anyway. And I'm like, okay, good. We might not go out right away. Like, all right, thank God. Like, maybe we're, I'm thinking of my head. I'm trying to do the math. Like, okay, at what time where Willie C might get a little break? Because again, exhausted. And I know. So, Demon, as a Seaman Team Sixer, there's like a subconscious scoreboard that's like there, even though you're not trying to participate and play in the game, but something's there of like,

I know I am home and I've been gone for a while. But again, when we were at Super Bowl Week, we're operating all hours of the day, like not a lot of downtime. Like, I was on E, two hour and a half hours of sleep on the plane. I'm thinking, you're hopeful that there's some empathy. Yeah. You're hopeful at any pocket. the day that there could be some type of empathy. And all, but also on my, if I'm playing my wife's side, it's, you're hopeful when PT6 lands

that it's PT6 time. I've been with them all week long. Yeah. So now it's status or to step up to the plate. I got you. I get that. And I'm on board. If not, that's, you're just earning extra credit.

Extra credit. That's extra credit. Right, right, right. Right. Right. I'm thinking this could be some extra credit. Who knows. But either way, I know I got to operate for a few hours.

I know I got to do my, I got to do my thing. Yeah, yeah. And so I take on my, yeah, yeah, go have fun. I'm ripping around with the kiddos, put Scotty down for a nap. You know, I'm not doing the thing. Like, hey, you know, what's ETA or when you're coming back? I'm like, go have, go do your thing. They probably get back around maybe 3, 30, 4 o'clock.

So they were gone, you know, several, probably four or five hours. They'll get doing their thing. But they get home, and part of me is like, okay, thank God. Because Rue and I were building the castle. Scotty was down for a nap. Roon and I were building the castle in the play area, and I'm kind of like laying on my side. I end up sliding a pillow underneath my head,

like as I'm playing with her, like using my right arm. For sure. And I catch myself, start to doze. I'm like, man, I really need a nap. And I was like, hey, Ruru, would you want to go play? Would you want to play a game? And we can just play a game where Dadda watches you and you do it. Maybe Dadda can rest a little bit.

She's like, yeah, okay, Dadda. She was a sweetheart all day long. So fired up to see Dad. Yeah. So she plays this Turtle game. And I'm like, we got to roll the dice. She's like, Dad is your time. Oh, sweetheart, you got to roll for Dad.

You got to roll for Dad Da. In this game, you get to be Dad. Yeah, because remember, sweetie, Dadda wants to wrestle a little bit. So I might fall asleep. And even if I fall asleep. Still watching. Still watching. And you just do your thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just if you want to go do something else or go somewhere else, just make sure to wake Dadda up. So I'm dozing off. And then I get to where she's playing this turtle game. You got to fill out of water. We couldn't find the dice because, again, all the moving, like there was a box we couldn't find the dice.

So I just, I found some little roller or some little cube. I'm like, you just got to pretend. Yeah. You just got to pretend. She rolls it. You say whatever number you wanted to say. And you can move or fill it up this many times. Isn't this fun, bro?

Yeah. Yeah. This fun. She starts playing. I end up kicking back on the couch. And I just started taking a little nap. I probably slept maybe 15 minutes. Yeah.

But she ends up waking me up. She's like, dad, wakes me up. She's like, look. And I kind of looked at us like, oh, what happened to the game? She goes, I close. cleaned it all up. I was like, how was the game? She's like, it was fun.

She's like, but you were sleeping, so I wanted to clean it all up and put everything back where it was. And I was like, dude, you are such a rock star. She's the best. So we go downstairs, wife ends up coming home. And part of me is like, all right, a little bit of help. Maybe we'll tag him to saying, hey, sweetheart, I miss you too. We'd love to see, you know, you being at home.

Like, it is nice to say, are we all hanging out at the house? What are we doing? And we're going to be three on two here with the kiddos? And then Charles starts like, Teddy goes, Teddy goes back to the room. Yeah. The guest room. And then Charles starts, she's in the bathroom. I'm like, what's going on?

She's like, oh, we got to get ready for dinner. I was like, hang on. Just give him a moment, guys, because he's just, he's getting ready really quick. Dinner. What do you mean? Where's our resume? Oh, we got reservations. She's like, I told you that.

You told me that? Resi for five, right? Yeah Yeah, we're all coming, yeah Yeah Oh sweet I don't know if I want I don't know if I want to go to dinner Oh no no no it's just me and me and Teddy

Extra credit. Extra credit. Extra credit. Two and a half hours of sleep. Long week. That had a long week. It's five o'clock. It's 5.30. She's like, yeah, we're going to go get cocktails and stuff. I was like, oh. All right, cool.

I mean. At the bedtime, she was like, yeah, I ripped the bedtime's the last five nights. Oh, yeah, no, no, no. I get that. But y'all aren't coming back until, you know what I mean? you hear him out there like Scotty's down on Mama's leg like screaming and you know because mom's home like screaming to get picked up

they get an Uber you guys drive safely have a couple drinks come back you know get a little have a little fun get a little excited and I'm just, I'm now at the house with both of these kids. And not that I'm not, not that I can't just throw on the PT6 at and tell myself, good, they left. Of course. Door shuts.

I walk over the door, lock it. Good. Yeah. It's us now. You probably went and put on the good shirt and good hat that we sell at bwtb.com. Self-talk had to be at a premium with positivity. Yeah. Because, again, I'm all.

very low. Oh yeah. I watched the kids that night. It all went well. How were Tuckins? Did they, they went well? Let me think.

Because that is just the... Scottie's in a new vibe right now. She's in a new little wave. Okay. She's now like, she gets restless when I'm trying to put her down to where she'll hit a little bit of the bottle. She wants to read a book.

But she doesn't want to read the book. She wants me to grab... There's a pile of books on the nightstand, like this hall. This hall. I grab one, open it. Might read the first. first page and she tries to take it and pull it and she's like,

new book. He wants me to read a different book. I'm like, okay, so I put that one down the ground. I'm like, okay, I'm going to hide these from her so she can't see the stack of books anymore. We go through the entire slot of books and I'm like, yo, drink your milk, dude. Like, let's, let's go. Usually she drinks some milk, falls asleep. We read a book or two. Yeah. But she's in a different, she's on a different wave to where she's restless. She's like squirming. She wants to get down. So I like put her on the ground. I'm like, do whatever you're trying to do. She walks over to the bookshelf to grab another book. It's usually like one of those finger pop-up books

Like you know, you know I can It's a square like finger puppet You put the little finger puppet in there It's like a little rabbit And she's got to laugh and go on to the rabbit Every time I turn the page Yeah She was

You know again She's growing Five days gone feels like a year You feel like R's and L's are getting better When you get back home The way she's talking to you on the phone And get back home Listen to her conversations

Scotty's doing her own little thing Again she's just a menace at all times really having to. I had to get tight with her a couple times because she just pulls Rue's hair. Oh, yeah. She gets mad at Rue. It's getting to where it's not as funny anymore. And I'm like, hey, buddy, like, you're kind of a bully. It was cute at first.

Yeah. But we got to keep the bulldog mentality for the playing field. We got to channel it. She'll have an entire grip just like pulling her hair. I'm like, Scottie, stop. Oh, no. Grabbing her hand. Grabbing Roo's hair to like not grab Scott.

his arm to pull it or pull it away grabbing Roos Harry grabbing Scotty's arm trying to like separate him. And Roos so like, Roos sweet to her most of the time. Like if it's like guarding toys, that's where it's like, I don't want Scottie to play with me. Yeah. The type of thing. But Scotty's just... Is she still doing a good job of restraining herself, Rue?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's mostly emotion. She's because of set, cries. Oh, for sure. But... How was that the next morning? Was everything good?

Yeah, I probably fell asleep. probably around 10. I got a good nine hours in. Good. Good. I was a sleepy boy, bro. I popped open some, for whatever reason.

I couldn't just like bring myself to go to bed after I put the kids down. I was like, if they're out having a couple of drinks, like, Caleb Presley hit me up not too long ago. What I was thinking about is chickachita. So I'm like,

I'm going to go get some of that peanut butter tequila upstairs. Because I was like organizing the whiskey shelf and everything, the whiskey shelves in the house. I was like, I'm going to go drink me some, some peanut butter tequila.

And I was like, this is going to kill my sleep, but you know what? Fuck it, dude. Dad, I wants a little bit of, dad that I wants to sip a little something. It wants a little juice. And who knows, we might be hitting the shock weight

when mama gets on it. That didn't happen. Why, you reek of peanut butter in tequila. What are you doing? Why if he starts, oh, man, I'm exhausted.

I'm just laying there with my face a little numb, thinking, God, I just got to, I got to get something going. Didn't happen. Just we just. You look beautiful. with the night.

You look good. Did you eat a P.B&J? I love you, babe. I had a massive dad loss that I just remembered halfway through your story, by the way. Maybe my biggest to date. I will get reamed in the comments. Yeah. Well, you also have the greatest dad game, dad hack to date that you will be

talking about eventually. I do have that too. So I really quickly the dad loss, I'm going to get reamed in the comments, but here we go. Jill thought that my mom was coming in town this week. That goes into my dad hack. Yeah. And in preparation of her thinking that my mom was coming in town, we are deep cleaning the house, which includes all of our Amazon boxes that I love when my wife orders stuff on Amazon and we'll it's honestly a lot of fun we'll put all the boxes by the back door by the trash cans and we pile we try to pile them as high as we can and then my where I come in is I then we'll take the boxes I'll go like rip them and tear them up and put them in our trash bin but we didn't have any room in the trash bin so then my plan B is one time I asked gee if I could throw stuff away in

our dumpster here and he was like yeah if it's empty and I was like okay I'll go check the dumpster at Bustin. As I'm leaving the dumpster, or leaving to go to the dumpster, Jill's also like, can you pick up dinner? And she's hungry. So she wants food fast. Mama Bear's hungry.

Mama Bear is hungry. She needs her porridge. Yes. You know what I'm saying? She need a board. And she's like, go get the burritos. Shout out Baja Burrito. And get back ASAP.

So when I get here and I see three Christmas trees in our dumpster, I'm like, okay, our boxes aren't fitting. there but there's an industrial complex around here i'll just go find a random dumpster how fun is that it's so much fun and i do it all the time and that's the part that i feel like i'm going to get reamed in the comments but i just because you use random dumpsters i fucking love throwing boxes and random dumpsters dude i love it dude i think there is a an adrenaline rush it's an art pt sixers they go out because we had a similar situation to where if you wanted the boxes gone.

Of course. Dads are Hall of Famers when it comes to breaking down or getting rid of boxes. Oh, yeah. And you go around and you kind of feel a little nervous. Like, is everybody around? I go up to a school. Oh, yeah.

Find a local school nearby. Late at night. Oh, that middle school? Let's drive around the... Oh, intermediate, even better. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I go to the high school. I'm like, okay, it's a little too wide open.

I feel like, I see a truck there. And I'm like, okay, dude's inside. There's a camera also looking at me. And you just start playing these mental warfare games. Like, man, they're dialing in on me right now. So I throw a couple in there. I'm like, you know what, I'm going to get out of here before the coffee below.

They're running my plates. Then you get back in the truck and drive around. Let's go try to find another one. You're a multiple offender. Yeah, yeah. The trip that I'm talking about happened right before we, I think on Sunday before we left for the Super Bowl, and I'm out ripping around Nashville.

Okay, maybe I won't get reined. Maybe I won't get reined in the comment. I think P.T. I think fathers completely. I hit up fellow dads. Like, hey, I know you are, you're the go. He's my go-to on like, hey, where's a dump? What dumpsters you use around this area?

He's like, he sent me a list of three. This one's probably best at first. But if not, go to this one. Put me in that group text. I could use that group text. Yeah. I think dads are out there right now. be like, okay, I'm not the only one.

I'm not the only one who does it. Okay, good. So I start going around this industrial complex at We Office Neer, and I find the most beautiful, empty, ginormous dumpster of all time. And I'm chucking stuff, dude. I'm chucking old pillows, old blankets, tons of boxes. Yeah. Batteries, bro.

And I'm making sure they're leaking acid. And as I'm throwing it in there, I swear to you, I just hear, the biggest fucking dog ever. I go, good, they got a junkyard dog. I hope it's a fucking Rottweiler. It sounded like one. And they got these big bobwire fences. I'm just like, oh, this is awesome.

I'm just dumping it in there. Fast forward. I wake up the next morning, and Jill has our daughter on her hip, and she's shaking me. And she goes, wait, you told me you threw away those boxes. You told me you threw away those boxes. I'm like, what?

Hey, hey, what's going on? What's going on? Why are you yelling at me? You told me you threw away those boxes last night. They're all in our, in our driveway. It's like, Oh, bro, they brought every single one back. No.

Because rookie mistake, and I usually do rip the shipping label off of it, forgot to rip the shipping label off of it because I was in such a rush. And they put every single thing that I put in that dumpster. They put it in my driveway. Are you able to say the place? No. Okay. You don't want to give up your side.

Yeah. Well, I just don't want to give up the where our offices. It is quite literally just down the street. I'll show you the dumpster if you want to go see it. Damn. Part of me gets scared. I got scared too. As I'm putting it in, I'm like, man, there's my.

But then I'm like, that's the old address. I know. I got to move now. I truly, I think that's the fifth. I was curious if people did that. I've gotten caught before. I was behind a restaurant dumping them. He's like, hey, what are you doing?

Oh, am I not able to use this? Oh, no, no, no, no. Those are ours. Yeah. We pay for those. Oh, shit, my bad, man. I would do this. Let me get in the truck.

You want me to take? You can leave them in there, but just don't do any more. Okay, got you. Yeah. Back next week. I would do the Steve Balboni was my thing in college where I'd find work sites with those huge work dumpsters. and that's where I would chuck and they'd be like,

hey, I'd be like, are y'all with the crew? They'd be like, yeah? I'd be like, all right, just give him a thumbs up and they're like, he must be something. I mean, he looks confident enough. Yeah. Do you guys ever ditch a mattress in one before? No, I've had a minivan.

I used to sell in. And me and my buddy tied his old mattress to the top of it, wanted a back alley in Pittsburgh, cut the ropes and just had it slide off and pulled away as if somebody cared. Nobody cared. It was the thrill of a lifetime. Dude, it is something about driving around offloading your trash in somebody's dumpster.

And I get, I completely get the anger that businesses and other people come from. Oh, for sure. People are doing that to ours. We want to find out you hope the labels on it. We would immediately find whoever's ready to readily drive and go dump it in their front yard. So I get that. Yeah. It's like the mischievousness.

Oh, dude. It feels so good. And it might have been the same situation with you, but. We missed, like, trash recycling because of the ice storm. Like, I want to say, it didn't come through. So we were backed up heavily. Tori, even part of me when I was going to do it and said high school, middle school. Yeah.

Like, I'm like, okay, maybe they'll have like, okay, people are just trying to, people just trying to get their shit back together. Yeah. Karma struck in a big way because my trash day has been moved and I missed trash day. It was this morning. You want to know how karma struck me when I was doing the offloading the trash? we had probably six, won't say the next number. We had probably six bags of diaper trash bags.

And one busts all, man. Will. Will. I'm trying to, boom. I pick up the, no. Yeah, the trash bag of diapers. And it ripped out. It rips right before I take off and all of them fall in the ground.

And I'm sitting there kind of in a panic because you know you're trying to be kind of quick. It's like you're in, you're in grounds. You're behind enemy lines in the dumpster you're not supposed to be at. So you're trying to move fast. God, I wish I could see you do this. And one rips. I immediately stop. I'll look up the camera.

And then I just start picking them up and like putting them in the, putting them in the dumpster. But I like, shit's getting all my hand. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It was a, that was a, it was a karma strike. I'm being so dead serious. Can we try and schedule one of these together? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Especially. There's got to be like. Especially if dads are out there in the comments being like, okay, we've done this too. It's an adrenaline rush of a lifetime. This is how adults ding-dong ditch. This is how we ring and run.

It feels like the first time you like sneak in alcohol. Yeah. Sneaking a beer. It feels good. Like when your boy's like, hey, you want to go, hey, we're going to go drink some beer. What? Behind this party right here. And you're like, our parents are right over there.

Like, yeah, dude, we're still going to go. And you're like, all right, I'll do it too. Y'all are all going to do it too? Yeah. Yeah, dude. You're not? Yeah. Don't be a pussy.

throw the diaper back in there. Yeah. When your first adrenaline rush when like somebody like an adult like buys you beer. Yeah. And you feel like you're just getting away with murder.

You're like, oh my God, I get guys, I got a 24 back above light. I got a 24 pack. That's like the adrenaline it feels like. That is. No, no, truly. That is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I chase that high. Oh. Oh, Jared, Jared. Jared, you're free to speak on the show. You are free to speak. I need to talk now. You just said,

something I had like a 10 second story but now it feels weird. Oh, you please. You say it. When you said the trash bag thing where it like ripped open when the diaper got all over you just in the ice storm I think I told Cherm this story. Like the fridge went bad. Like everything went bad in it. Yeah.

So I go to load the entire fridge of rotten like rotissory chicken. Like everything's rotten in the fridge. Put it all in one truck. Milk. One trash bag. I put it all in one trash bag. McKinsey, my beautiful girlfriend. She's like, she'd probably double bag it or maybe split into two bags.

I might know. I don't know how y'all are. I want everything out in one bag. Hey, baby, trash is my deal. Yeah. You go fucking sit on the couch. I'll handle the trash. Yeah.

You're so beautiful and sweet, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I go to drag this bag out. I can't pick it up. I drag it out right in front of her in the living room. It catches the front door, rips open, rotten chicken all over our living room and front porch. She just gets proven right, right there. And she's like, she didn't even have to say it.

Like, I told you so. That's where you feel such a rage that you. you might morph into the Hulk. I was so proud of myself for restraining my anger. Because she was right. She was not even rude about it. Like she gave me good advice. I didn't take it. And just right in front of I just silently just picked it up with my hands,

just putting it back. A dad, dad hack dude, by the way, and of course, Papa Shirm, when he was in town, got me some, those contractor bags. Just having them just for any situation,

dude, you never know when you're going to use one of those humongous contractor bags. Nothing like just dad talk talking trash with those. And not even, that wasn't even written down on our things to talk about, dude. It's just the love of the game. Love of the game. And there's no L to take like the one you take in front of your girl in front of your wife

when they're trying to give you advice or tell you something. And you're like, okay, it piped down. There's a rip in that. And then it happens. And you're like, it's not even an argument. It's just like, shit. You're right. And you get to own it.

But now she's got it the next time she gives you a recommendation. Yeah, exactly. And you'll be like, you know what, you, sweetheart, you are beautiful, you are right most of the time. I will listen to this. That's probably a good take. Yeah. Good take. I, um, but yes, that was my, uh, dad loss very quickly into the dad hack.

I got not very quickly. Come on now. Okay, okay. This is, this is dad game right here. This is dad game. And I, sixers are tuned in, bro. I will be so honest to say that like, I stumbled into this dad hack. But essentially, what it has turned into is my mom was planning on coming in February.

And the dates that she was going to come are this week. However, Jill's, we moved here from Texas. Jill misses her friends dearly, like Charo's friend that she sees once a year. That's these two are, that's it, that for her. And she's not homesick, but dude, she's just missing home. She's missing her girls and she's telling me about it all the time. And I'm like, man, we got to get back to Texas and we got to figure something out for her to visit fam. And all of a sudden, Lauren, Lolo, text me and says, hey, me and Abby really want to come up and surprise Jill.

What would be a good week? And I'm like, light bulb. Oh, my God. Because Jill's awful with surprises, terrible at them. Like, she will figure it out every single time. and I was like, I have the perfect one. She already thinks my mom's coming in town. I already have plain itinerary that I can show Jill.

And we just moved my mom coming in town to the end of the month. And I told my mom just completely go with it that you're still coming in town. And I couldn't have played it any better of just because Jill always says, oh, you do a terrible job of like planning stuff whenever your mom's coming in town. and like you're always so reluctant to get the house clean and stuff. She's got like PTSD going as you see. But I'm like excited. I'm so excited because I know how much joy is going to like come out of her friends coming

that I'm having to pretend like this is just a regular family members coming in town. Shouldn't we get the carpet cleaner from Home Depot and make sure all the good. Honey, I don't. Do we really have to do that? But in the back of my mom, like I would love to do that because we got to get the house. And when's your mom coming? I don't even know. know, like, I'll text her.

She hasn't even texted me back. I'm trying to call her. I'll, honey, I'll figure it out. I don't know when she's coming in. The morning of the pickup. Does your mom land at nine? I told her earlier time than what it actually was so that she'd be ready with Scarlett. And I'm like, I'm like, I think.

I don't, I don't know. Oh, it's, no, it's 10.45. So, like, we have some time. That's when the box debacle happened, by the way, was during all that. I had to go pick up all the. Massive surprise is about to land well And somebody came and dumped the boxes off

I thought she handled the boxes Bro, she has no makeup on, no nothing Going to like hairs and I even really Done up super nice going to the airport So I know I have succeeded Because anytime she knows that like a picture is going to be done She's got a cute outfit

We're just picking up Shirm's mom from the airport And I'm like God we fucking killed it And I'll show the video I'll put it like in the episode of edit But I go, hey, I faked a phone call with my mom. And I was like, hey, she said you and Scarlet can go in there. Her bags haven't come out yet at baggage claim.

And she was like, oh, okay. She's like, you want to go see Sunny? You want to go? And I just see her go through the glass doors. And then I see her pace picking up, like, through the windows. So I wasn't inside for it. But, dude, I was just like, God, we murdered this. And then now it's just been this entire, like, you,

fouric week of like her smile is so big dude she's so freaking happy your friends are so happy they have matching valentine's day pajamas that they're all wearing right now at the house and they're getting pictures and there's babies crawling everywhere we've already dealt with the ear infection one of the babies uh ears bursted on the plane and they had to go to a doctor right when they landed it's kind like there's been some trenches here and there but like oh dude when you have three moms and the under the same roof, like anything is possible. They don't need me for anything. And people on social media are like, oh, Sherms outnumbered, blah, blah, blah.

I'm like in the best way possible. I'm like a superhero if I start a fire in the fireplace. I'm a superhero if I do, if I lift a finger at the house, they're like, Sherman's so helpful and so sweet. And I'm like, yeah, you know. You know Sherm's in a good pocket too because I saw you tweet too. like they went to Target. You were watching all the kiddos.

Yeah, yeah. But it's like the dad mode that he would have to be in normally is like, all right, you say one friend was in town, or say my situation. You guys go out, I'll watch the kids, but you having the friends that are also moms with their kids in town, they're doing the mom thing. You're not going to be taking care of their kids. So Jill's not going to be like pressing you like, oh, I'll do it together. You just kind of get to kick back and relax a little bit.

Truly. And they're like, they're like, oh my gosh. like their kids, Margo and Jane, they're like, oh, Jane is smiling at Sherman. Oh my gosh, Margo wants to hug Sherman. And I'm like, yeah, hey. I'm here. Like everything's a win. Everything's positive.

And they're like, let's buy you dinner. Oh, don't do the dishes. I will do that. I'm like, oh, my God. This is like the greatest in the entire world. They all can't get out mommed. They all can't get out mom. You're just playing hero ball.

You want me to watch Scarlett You go hang out they got their kids too I'll take Scarlett I'll take Scarlet as well Can't get out mom You don't have to do that And then the best part was last night When they were going to Target

They all have like Nana apps Set up for the individual sleep Chambers that they've built for their kids Bro so many dad hacks have come out this week They make tents that you can put over Those pack and play beds That like block out all the light I'll send a pick to you

I was like that's actually sick so your kid can be sleeping in the same room but they're like kind of chambered in there but they all have NANID apps so when they went to Target I was like honey do I need to stay on the couch while you are at Target or is it okay if I like go to the bed

and just sit on my phone and her friends were like oh my gosh you can go to the bed and Jill's like no no like you should probably be on the count of all I was like oh okay yeah yeah And they're like, no, he can be a bed. I was like, hey, hey, see?

See? See? Hey, yeah. Y'all got to be here more off. Yeah, y'all got to be, come on. Hey, they're saying it. You see, it's all good if I go just kick my feet up on the bed. I'm like, this is incredible.

And I ended up getting to go kick my feet up in the bed. It was awesome. Dude, it's been unreal. We got to do this way more often. This move has reset us. standard for PT6. It hasn't even reset as standard though from the like I saw some comments on social media

husband of the year, dad of the year, what a great, like I'm like, I'll take him but. Hey, no, I will take it, but do it yourself and you'll see how easy it is. I don't deserve a metal. You tapped into something, whether you call it failing forward, stumbled into whatever, when the light bulb went off, you found something that's like you almost can't touch. You can't touch it.

But if you do somehow get in that stratosphere, that atmosphere, that air, it's like talking to God. Oh, it's like talking. And dude, their husbands, they're like at home playing, they're playing video games. They're hanging with the boys. For everybody. They're so happy. They're so happy at home. And they get their little FaceTime's in.

Think about that surprise factor. It kind of bones me out you didn't get to. You saw her pace pick up in the airport when she got the, you know what I mean? Like first seed. Did any of her friends take video? They did. And I'll put it in the episode. Yeah.

She just starts sobbing. It's not like the best video ever, but like she just loses it. It's an amazing video. Probably sucks for her because she's like, I'm not done up. I'm crying. I'm doing this. Oh, no. Like she won't mind me posting it.

But like it's shaky and stuff. It's amazing. Yeah. Dude. I, you know, you think you're going up to pick up your mother-in-law. And they can have the greatest relationship ever. Shout out Miss Amy. They love each.

And, yes. Yeah. But seeing a couple of your best friends with their kiddos standing there at baggage claim. Oh, dude. She, you can see in the video, she stutters twice because she's like, the fuck. What are you guys doing in Nashville? Am I seeing like, am I seeing something real? And how long were they here?

They're here till Thursday. So how many days is that? Four. Yeah. How long are you guys here? We're here till Thursday. Oh, yeah. And Jill has a whole week off.

so she's elated. Bro. They went to the zoo yesterday. They got all matching outfits for the girls. They got like, dude, I'm telling you, it's not me. It's the, if we're looking for a factor in the equation

to make this happen, you just have to make sure that your wife's friends rock, that they're awesome and super sweet and helpful and like you love having them in your home. Like that's really the only two factors. It's like, yeah, my wife's friends suck. and they're hearing, they're yelling at me and blah, blah, blah. Get that.

But like once you click play, you just step back. You're like, oh, my God. Sounds like it still be worth the potential beating, verbal beating at times. Probably if one of the friends kind of sucked, I would say, go for it, dude. And that's kind of their problem. That's a massive W, bro. Bravo. Thank you. Bravo.

Yeah. I mean, it's been incredible. It's been incredible. Charles, listen to this right now thinking, like, man, I hope we'll do something like this for me, one day. Oh, dude. All the MT-Sixers. Everybody's rooting for this.

That's what I'm saying. I feel like this is a... Everyone wins, dude. Everyone wins. And even if you're not the guy to do it, you might be one of the husbands that finds out about this secret plan. Well, honey, let me help you pack.

I mean, we got to make sure the surprise is good, you know? Yeah. There's a little potential black, I'd say, Sharm. Oh, what happened? You're depriving a couple guys of their families. Yeah. I mean, we can celebrate it, but. And Derek, I didn't.

I appreciate you. He's got to keep you honest. I know. And I do appreciate that because there are two dads out there that aren't good to see their daughters for four days. Yeah. Let's keep that. You strong-armed a couple of PT-Sixers, families from them. Yeah.

For three nights. Four days, three nights. Yeah. Where they're going to have to be hanging out at the house, eating whatever they want, watching whatever they want, playing whatever they want, playing whatever they want. getting worse at life essentially. Oh, no. I mean, think about it. You eat pizza, you eat junk food, you play video games, you have a few beers, you have freedom, you have nobody in the house, you got a little silence. Some might equate it to peace and quiet. I equated to torture. Well, everything that you just said is true. But multiply that by five because they flew in on

Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday. Yeah. You're telling me those dads at the watch the Super Bowl, by themselves or go partake in another lame Super Bowl party with some of their boys Probably had to Uber back Because they weren't fit to drive I mean this Derek thank you Because I didn't even think about that dude

And to those two dads Jake and Cole David Apologies Yeah apologies I didn't even realize Yeah You lose a little bit of yourself When your wife's out there to tell you

What to do how to do it what to eat, how to eat it. You know what I mean? How to dress the kiddos. I'm sitting here gloating. Oh, the out of the year. Yeah. Oh, what a move.

I hate it when my wife's not there to tell me that we have boxes sit by the garage door. You know what I mean? Oh, this is a new record high that we just hit of the stack of boxes, Will. Yeah. Here's your metal. Yeah. I didn't think you would ever get this high. Well done.

Yeah. All that being said, I appreciate that you guys have. room in y'all's hearts to forgive me for what i've for what i've done not having hopefully not having to do bath time strip the joy from our hearts man yeah oh fuck should we do crack a cold one we can we can absolutely crack a cold one allie pop Shirley temple their new heater and it is amazing we just had an awesome podcast yesterday this is such a high profile athlete i cannot leak who it's going to be they're going to be on the pod of busts with the boys next week but he is a father of four and talked he talked highly of the Shirley temple olipop oh yeah yeah do you remember he did yes

i forgot about that and i think he used this deal that you're about to read he did use this deal we actually went in deep about this deal because i personally have gone through it and the deal is kind of nice um so what is going on with allie pop here's the deal by any two cans of olipa pop in store and we'll pay you back for one. Works on any flavor at any retailer. Will, you probably saw me at Costco take a picture of that huge mountain of, you know, olipop cans. But they also have them in the little cold refrigerated area where you can get the singles.

Oh, I saw that photo. It's saved in an album right now. That's, but the album labeled. Keep it in the end. We ain't cut. God, we love to laugh. And it works on anything. flavor at any retailer guys.

All you have to do is keep that receipt and then go to drinkolipop.com forward slash bwtb. Olipop is sold online at drinkollipopop.com plus Amazon available in the soda aisle with the chilled beverages at thousands of retailers nationwide, including Walmart and Target. So keep that receipt. Follow the instructions at drinkollipop.com and you will get reimbursed for one of those to allie pops that you bought it any retailer we can't say enough about

we love them honestly yes love olipop I forget who I was um oh I think it was somebody with our with a showboat oh part of the showboat was it Savannah because she told me a hilarious story about you about wanting to get what was it what's the grocery store out in L.A

with the Haley Biber smoothie I can hear her saying it too It's like R-A or our way. Arrowway. Airway. Something like that. E-R-E-W-H-O-N. Arrowin Grove?

Erwin? Arwa. It's got a strawberry glaze. It's a phenomenal. You know, it's an incredible grocery store. But we were going and picking up our lunch. And I was on the searchers. I need to get a crisp apple,

Oli-Pop. She called me essentially, she works with Oli-Pop. And shout out Savannah. They do a great job. And she told me she was just a little bit concerned because Oli-Pop was saying, and this is the most we've ever shipped to a podcast.

He's really drinking this stuff. Did she tell you? She's like, oh, Will actually really loves Olipop. Oh, she was like, he was like, hey, can we stop at the airway? I got to pick up some Ollipop. You're like going to something like work-wise.

You're like, no, I need to get Ollipop first. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we ain't going until I get my Oli-Py-Pon. Again, I was tweeting about Oli-Pop before Oli-Pop even came to the picture of Bustin with the boys before the dads. And he's like, oh, you actually really like Oli-Lipo. I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm not, I'm not fucking around.

She said she saw you scratching at your neck as you were walking through the soda aisle. Because I was trying to find crisp apple and they were kind of restocking some different drinks and I wasn't seeing crisp apple. Because they're selling out constantly. Yeah. I'm sure. Yeah, crisp apple, they are. Oh, big time. Probably because that's what I tell myself is because of this pod.

But during the ice storm when I was doing the videos and talking about all this target has crisp apple on West End, yada, yada, yada, yada. Like gas stations and spots like that. I would go to to get crisp apple allipop, like they were empty. Yes. There's a bunch of other flavors. Chris Bapple was out and watermelon lime I would have like one or two left. You want a, here's a dad hack. You want to find olipop really quick.

Go to Target soda aisle. And you're going to see everything's going to look beautifully stocked and find that little gap where it looks like nothing's there. Go straight there and look in the back and there's going to be like three olipops left because they're flying off the shelves. Yeah. Yeah. I have a good, I have a solid crack of cold one this week.

One that I'm honestly excited to talk about. Okay, let me, let me, let me. Look, I love my family. I love all the crack of cold ones I talk about. Yeah. This one I was giddy to kind of talk about because Rue surprised me the other night. We were doing bedtime. It was either one of the first nights I was home and she was like, we kind of read a lot of the same books every night.

Yeah. I'm sure parents, you'll sit there. You'll have an entire bookshelf with all these children's books and all these things, what you stocked it with and fun reads and everything else. But your little one always gets accustomed to these few. They love to just recycle. which is always fun, but there are these books that I've always been fascinated with

that I would read DeRue when she was probably like maybe a little before two years old when I first like came across this book. I want to say, Char I might have bought it and it's called What You Do With an Idea by a Kobe Yamada.

You read it to us. I read another book because when I went down to somewhere in Franklin, we were shopping in one of these little, one of these little stores and Kobe Yamada, is it Yamada? Yamada, Yamada, Kobe Yamada.

That's right. And that's the author of this book. and he's got a series. And when I realized he has a series of books, not just what you do with an idea. I was like, I need all of these books. Yes, dude.

Which one did you read to us in office? Because it wasn't the idea one. It wasn't the idea one. It's so funny you bring that up. And for everybody listening, this was a legitimate team meeting one day. I read a Kobe Yamada book in front of the team to the team. Yeah, like...

Very serious. I was being serious about it, even though these are like children's books. And I'm stoked because Roos, three. She's going to be four in April. Yeah. I feel like she started when I read. read this book we're sitting there talking about it and talking through and everything else

which I am obsessed with. Yeah. Because you always want to, you know, you want to, you want to help give them philosophies or things to like frameworks to form like when they're going through things. And I'll get into what you do with an idea. But the one I made, the one I read to you guys was trying. Trying. That's right.

Because you fail over and over and trying. And it had a lot of good. Again, they're like short reads. It's a children's book. And I'm legitimately reading this to the team because I'm like, I feel like this. This would be great for everybody to hear. And you were showing us the illustrations as well. You were in full dad reading mode.

He had the book turned and he was reading to us like this, turning the pages. Seriously, reading too. I have a video of it. I'll put it in the episode. I recorded it. I recorded it. But he's got a bunch of books, dude. It's like I tapped in here, Comey Yamada books.

And there's some right here that I'm not even, I haven't even known that they were out there. But what you do with an idea, maybe what you do with a problem, what you do with a chance because I had a teacher finding muchness trying noticing why not chasing dreams

feeling grateful I want all of these this is this is like this is a massive shout out to Kobe Yamada because I love these children's books and kind of the frameworks they give you as a parent for like story time and reading along when your little one starts to get curious and ask you questions but what you do with an idea is essentially this little boy he finds this

idea and the idea is like a little pet egg with a crown on it and he finds this idea and he kind of likes the idea and then when he thinks about what this idea what he could do with this idea he gets a little shy and scared and worried and anxiety about it what if he shows off this idea this little weird egg in front of people like if he brings the idea in front of people like what if they laugh at it what if they you know talk it down and mock you and all of these things and it kind of sends him back and I don't want anything to do with the idea because what the world externally has told me

now that I've brought the idea in front of everybody. But he realized, the little boy realizes the idea wouldn't leave him. It would stay around and watch him do things out in the field or around these animals. And then one day he realized he wanted to, he loved the idea so much, he didn't just want to throw away the idea

because the idea would stick around and he would nurture it and feed it and love on it and, you know, and still confident. He would get confidence in himself with the idea and be obsessed over this idea to one day then one day he takes the idea and it starts not only

changing him but changing everything around him like there's these illustrations where the grass gets greener it starts off in like black and white but the egg is like yellow and you have the yellow crown and everything else and throughout the illustrations of the story the forest gets green the animals start to get color

it starts to like get rooted it starts showing the roots like underground because the idea is changing the bull And then the boy brings the idea. He builds the idea a house so they could sit and look at the stars and dream and talk about other ideas with the animals. And then one day the idea touches they get to a town and the idea touches the town so much that it changes everything around the environment to where one day the idea of the

little egg, it gets bigger and bigger. It takes wings and blasts off into the sky. And it becomes like this big white orbit and changes the entire world. And it's like, what do you do with an idea? you change the world. And that is how it ends. And then the crown is on the boy's head at the end of it because you're just kind of reminiscing on

this is what you do with an idea. Yeah. Because there's going to be times where you have fears. You're like talking with your little one because she's asking you questions. And I'm just so obsessed that she's starting to ask questions like this because I get into like, I'll like add words myself throughout the story. And then you kind of get in a little bit of lecture time

because she's so focused on the question she's asking and what you're saying to your little one, to where you're just talking about you know, anytime you wanted to ride your bike and you were scared or any example or when you're shy in front of people or you might want to tell somebody the idea and you want dad at to say the idea

you don't want to say the idea. Like all those fears and insecurities that happen and you kind of don't want to share it because you're worried about how the response might be to you and just you dive into all of those things and I'm obsessed with the book. So my crack a cold one this week goes to Kobe Yamada in the book in particular what you do with an idea.

What you do with a problem is awesome. Trying is awesome. But what you do with an idea was kind of the first one that I'm sitting there and we're doing story time and I'm like, yo, this book rips. I cannot put my stamp of approval on this anymore because, and I'm furious, I'm meant to text to you. Shout out Jill, she bought that idea book.

And I read it to Scarlett in a nighttime tuck-in. and I thought to myself, these illustrations and the premise of this book reminds me a lot of that book that Will read. I bet this is the same author. And as I was going through the book as well, I truly was like, I've never seen the idea of stepping out and being kind of like a, um,

a creator or like a creative or having, you know, something that you're wanting to build. Be illustrated so beautifully, so eloquently. even for an adult. Like, I was reading the book and going, hell yeah. Yeah.

Hell yeah. This is exactly what it's like when you're trying to cannot put my stamp of approval on it anymore. I love that book. And you're sitting there reading it knowing like, you know, when Rue was one or one and a half or whatever, I'm like, all right, there's nothing that I can give her of substance right now. Like, I personally love this book because you're right.

Like even as an adult and you're talking about what you do with an idea. Yeah. And nurturing it and feeding it and pouring everything. you can into this idea because you love it so much. Yeah. And people might not love it now, but if you stick with it and again, continue to pour into it, as often as much as you can where you're just obsessed with it, one day you're going to start changing lives.

Yeah. And then those people that were laughing at, it starts coming around because nothing's cool until it's cool. Yes. And then you, you know, you change the world. And your world might just be a few people at first. Yes. World might be the world.

Like, it's unbelievable. even in parenthood where you're you know essentially you have to have like an ego death with your old life in a way of all of your responsibility now goes into your kid to where there's some friction at times with say your wife or your spouse or your partner that you have a kid with to where you're having to adapt and change a lot of your old ways because now you have the biggest responsibility the biggest blessing of all time yes and at first like your kid can even be the idea of the egg to we're all right I don't want to change all my

habits with the fellas or hey we're still going to get together or we're still going to do all these things and you realize you kind of can't and then you hear oh so and so you've changed you don't play video games with this anymore you've changed all these things

where you feel like you know the group's kind of like they might not have kids so they don't get it and they might be in their group chats whatever assumptions you might have in your brain but you're going back to the kid and you're pouring everything into the kid

nurturing it, loving it, feeding it. It is the egg. The kid is the egg. And then one day, the kid is going to have all these philosophies and frameworks that they got from you and mom and the people that you've, that you've surrounded them with, and they're going to go out and change the world and whatever that looks like to them. Isn't that crazy and incredible to think about? Yeah. It's awesome. It's, I mean, I have a seven-month-old, so I'm really just reading a book out loud to myself. And that's the only book that I've read like 40 to Scarlet. Yeah.

As I'm going through it, I'm like, hell yes, after every single page. I'm just like, this is awesome. These are a series of books, too, that I'm just talking to parents. You will just love, like Sherman saying, you will individually love reading them. Yeah. You'd be like, oh, snap, bedtime, story time. Like, let's hope. This is very applicable to me as a parent or as an adult or as an uncle or as a mom, like

whatever. And that author, once I saw that, that author had all these books trying is, once I saw that, I'm like, oh my gosh, he's got, he's got books with an idea, a problem, having a chance, why not, chasing dreams, finding muchness, because I had a teacher, like all of these things where I want, I recommend every parent to get them all. Go get them. Like Pokemon.

I don't even know if I said what Rue, did I say what Rue surprised me with? No. All to say, Rue was fired up for story time and bedtime, and she was like, dead don't come in my room um she said i want to surprise you and then she's like uh okay daddy you can come in my room and she was like uh the surprises under my covers uh oh and i'm like okay what is it she's like a story time she's like i think it's your favorite and i lift open the covers and it's what you do with an idea and i was like let's go dude and you had already read it to her right i've read it to her before she knows how much i love it but she goes off it's your favorite yeah like

there'll be like what's the thick book where it's got all the tales like Like, I think they call them like, um, not nursery rhymes. Oh, the Brothers Graham book that you bought. It's got a lot of different like, uh, uh, uh, repunt. Is it Rapunt? Hansel and Gretel. Yeah. All the Germanic, like, fairy tale type. Right.

But I know they, they, they call them something. But they're all of these little books are in this massive book. So we'll sit there and go through. We'll sit there and read those. But she gets in phases with some of her story time. Yeah. Um, but do, when she lifted that up, I was so fired up. That's electric.

Because as much as I sit there and I want to force the book on her, there's been times of my, oh, hey, what if we read? We haven't read the what you do with an idea in a while. I said, I don't want to read that one. I'm just like, part of you's like sad. You're like, damn, I just want you to get into something like this. Because this is, these are frameworks of life.

Honey, it's got to click at some point. Yeah, yeah. This is got to click. Three years old. Yeah. So what is your idea? Yeah. Maybe next time the surprise could be your idea.

Because in the, yeah. Homework. Look. In the book, too, you know, when you get to the page to where the kids standing on his hands, the idea, you know, instill the confidence to where he's standing on his hands and you see the world from a different vantage point. You can flip the book. And then it's him kind of holding up the town. Yeah. And everything else to where you see it differently.

And all you're doing is flipping the book. It's just, I think it is unbelievable. Yeah. I cannot agree more. A retweet, like, share everything that you just said. Do you feel the passion coming up my goddamn voice, demon? for those that didn't hear Demon said type shit

type shit I'm obsessed with them guys I'm telling you parents like just get Kobe Yamada books yeah in your life and the illustrations

are very well done yes extremely well done yes May Besam does the illustration oh Jenna Mae Besom let's go May Besom

let's go May Bezum I Kobe Yamada we got to get him on we gotta get him on posting a lot in Portugal I'm looking at his Instagram him now. He's a jet-setter, bro. He looks like someone I'd want to hang out. Okay. He looks sick.

These, these, the, you know, again, hey, these right here, these are the stories, man. Yeah. Yeah. You got to credit. Not that, I'm riding high right now. None of the I want the ones

that make you think. Yeah. I'm even tying it back. I'm like, yo, this kid, the egg, I'm the boy, and the egg is rude. Yes. but people don't people don't get that it's deeper

it's deeper but no I agree I agree those books those books are incredible and they will come around they will get it people don't think the way

you over there thinking they don't get it hey it's us the Jonas brothers and guess what we have some big news what's the news huge news we created our own

podcast called hey Jonas we invented a podcast well we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra

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

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast for 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.

This is David Eagleman with the Inner Cosmos podcast, and for Mental Health Awareness Month, We're dedicating a series to understanding the mind when it struggles.

I'm joined by doctors, researchers, and those with lived experience. We'll talk with singer-songwriter Jewel about anxiety. I started living in my car, and then my car got stolen. I was shoplifting. I was having panic attacks. I was agoraphobic. And making it through hardship. To be present is a learned skill, and it's hard to be present.

We'll talk with John Nelson about clinical depression and the brain implant that saved his life. What I learned is that procedure made me happy because I'm disease-free. And we'll talk with leading experts like Judd Brewer about anxiety and John Hirschfield about obsessive-compulsive disorder and the science of how the brain can change.

This is a month of deeply personal and honest conversations about what happens when the brain goes off course and what we can do about it. Listen to Intersmos on the I-Heart Reef!

They are fabulous. My crack of cold, we kind of, I mean, we did it. and I apologize. I jumped the gun. It's just the girls being at the house and in town. But I will say the idea, my cracker-cold one is getting to be Scarlett's first Valentine. I'm very excited for that.

Going to get her a little card. Going to do some flowers. I'm seeing all these videos of like dads, you know, doing a daddy-daughter Valentine date on social media. And I'm like, oh my God, I can't wait for that. And just being around like a large group of people, a large group of people, larger than two,

because it's usually just Jill and I at the house. But we had all the babies and all the moms around the dinner table on our first night and had a little pizza night. And Scarlett's sitting there munching. It was her first time eating pizza. So shout out that. But she's munching on that bread and she's putting the cheese in her mouth and she's loving the cheese. And she's looking at everybody at the table.

but every single time she saw me, dude, she would instantly just smile from across the table and start going like that. And I'm like, God. Oh, my God. I am in trouble. You're just so in love with your little girl, man. I'm in trouble, dude.

Because she's not doing that with anybody else at the table in my head. I like to think boy dads, I don't think, get that. Yeah, they don't get, y'all don't get that, man. Yeah. You don't get that, man. They will one day. They'll get it. They get a little girl.

Since it was a podcast for dads, I assumed I wouldn't like it, but one day he was listening to a Ford the Dad's episode on YouTube and I got hooked. When my husband first told me about the pod, I thought he said it was Will and Charmin, like the toilet paper. So now that is our little inside joke. Sorry, Sheram, Laf out, out. Last year we found out that we were pregnant just two days after Valentine's Day. Okay, shockwave. Now we have a three-month-old baby boy Sawyer born October 31st. We have a

spooktober Halloween baby. This year for Valentine's Day, we are not going to do gifts for each other, although y'all reading this email on the pod would be a sick gift.

My husband. husband is an amazing man and it was never a question whether I would stay home or not. We just knew I would and he would do whatever he had to make sure that I could.

He is supportive of me. He is kind. He's always there for me. And he is such a great partner in parenting. He is an amazing dad and loves our son so much. I couldn't imagine being a better man to be able to have children with. And I am so thankful to have him to lead our family. We obviously don't have much time for ourselves or each other now that we have a three-month-old, but I am so thankful for the pod because now every Saturday morning, we make our coffee or sometimes we drink an olypop, and we listen to this week's episode together. It is like a free at-home coffee date that I look forward to all week.

he gets to hear the greatest surprise that you can make happen oh yeah as a PT-6er one day and he's writing it down he's like God I got to remember he's sitting there and he just cracked open the house Bollypop and he did a little sip in the corner and gave her a wink. So how about that shot? Love is in the air, boys.

Yes, that was incredible. Well done on the comments, by the way. Well done. There's more. Oh, God. I got emails to read. Yeah, we still have emails to read. Let's have some fun.

Let's play a game. Let's play a game. Let's play a game. We were thinking through, Chef and I, about what we could do for the Valentine's Day, and we wanted to do a little dating question between co-hosts. And so I will ask you guys a question. you have the board there in front of you each. You'll write your answer and what you expect your co-host's answer to be.

Oh, God. There will be about five or six of these ones. So these are just a dating game with me and Sherm. A good dating game with you and Sherm. I just want to see. And we play our answer and then what we think Will is going to say or what we think Sherm's going to say. Okay.

Okay. Are you guys ready? No cheating. No cheating. And they'll give you like 10 seconds between each one. Okay. I might need more. Okay.

I got to activate the brain. Well, you gotta keep it on an hour. Yeah. When's your co-host's birthday? Fuck! Carry the two. Wait, and my answer... Oh, my birthday.

Sorry, sorry. Yikes. The boards are labeled. I'm gonna be so mad if I get this wrong. Because it's either one day before or one day after Jill's. Yeah, he's sick, bro. I have a little jingle of happy birthday, Will. Happy birthday Jill.

But I can't remember which one comes first in that jingle. All right. I'm going to lose this one. Let's see our answers. Will? I put somewhere in the last three months.

In the last three months? No, I thought Sherm's answer is going to be, I thought he's just going to put the month of September. My answer for Sherm's birthday. That's his answer to the question. Then Sherm's answer to the question is probably going to be this. I'm so sorry. Which is a great interpretation of it.

That's perfect. That is not incorrect the way you thought through that. And you know why? Because you had an idea and you nurtured it. Yeah, I loved it. I took time. You did. I'm a little upset.

I think it might be the 17th, but I put the 19th of September. Yours is May 24th? May 24th. You were spot on with mine. Is it the 19th? Yeah. Let's go.

Let's go. I wasn't even close. I have a cheek coat for that though. I told you happy birthday somewhere late in the year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or maybe it was the anniversary or something. All right, all right, so my answer is just like, I should have wrote September 19.

Yes, I'm so, I could have been more clear. Your answer is your answer to like, what is your, like the question? Then Shirm. So I can reword the- There's got to be PT-Sixers. Like, oh, I thought the way Will was talking about that. I thought it was as clear as day until you turned that board. I'm like, he's not wrong. They're reading Kobayashi.

So here's what do. I'll just ask the question. I'll remove what is your co-host. I'll ask you the question and then your answer and then Sherms. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. What is your favorite color? I think I got that.

The Father's Day thing, if I remember his answer from the dad combine. All right. Shirm, what is your answer? My answer is blue, his is red. Let's go. A couple of boys. We just needed one. That's all we needed.

Yes. So now we win no matter what. No matter what. What is your favorite restaurant in Nashville? Oh, fuck. He don't know. You know why he don't know? Because I don't know.

Okay, we can skip it. We can skip it. I got other ones. Favorite? Yeah, if you don't have an answer. Maybe favorite type of food, we could go that direction. Do you want to do that instead? You want to do that instead?

What is your favorite type of food? Do you feel like give an answer to that one? I think I could go to. I could get an answer. I'll give you this. hint too. I don't even think I need a hint. I think I got it. You need a hint. It's a niche in the category. Mine is breakfast burrito. Okay. Yours is Mexican. Okay. You nailed mine. Text Max. I put sushi nagiri. Because you said like, oh, it's a certain subset. But you've been on that

sushi grind lately. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll get some point. I like breakfast burrito though. I did not know that about you. I love a good breakfast burrito, bro. Oh, M. G. Yay. Yos. It's my favorite breakfast burrito. There's also a spot in, he's in the Wedgwood, Houston area, where you can walk up to the window. You guys know what I'm talking about? Maybe in the east.

You, like, walk up to a window and you can get the breakfast burrito. I got to try that. Because that truly, I got to be honest, like, that's my top three food item, too. Breakfast burrito? Oh, yeah, dude. So good.

I'm just going to be frank. I'm going to keep it a bean. I don't know. We've talked about one of the ones, Charles put multiple. We've talked extensively about... Jill put one? Joe put one.

About loving a couple of the ones. Like, Charles List is sick. Charles loves rom-coms, but I don't know what her favorite is. Ah! I know it. Is it a rom-com? No. It's animated.

Trolls is your answer? Yes. How to lose a guy in 10 days. That's bullshit. That's bullshit. Honey, that's crazy. How to lose a guy in 10 days. That's a good movie.

That's a great movie. I've never... He said, oh, I know it. Trolls. Now, I will say, there's a slight chance that they're flipped here, but it's not possible because they just entered their submissions, but I went back and tracked, but as of the list I have in front of me, how to lose again, does she like that movie? Does seven happen to be on that list?

On Charles, no. Jill laughed when I... She was obsessed. She could not wait to show me that movie. She says one of her favorites, but I guess that one's not right. She loves rom-com. Yeah, so Charles list contains elf. crazy rich Asians Goodwill hunting

Well, I make it, but sometimes I like, oh, there's not enough. Last question. Who said, between you and your wives, who said, I love you first? Where and when did it happen?

Mine was my bed? Laying in bed one night. Laying in bed one night. She has a long answer, but sorry, I was skimming through for that, but yeah. in bed one night, I'm going to guess it was her? Or was it me? Do you want to read her? Three squeezes?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Lovely story. Who did the three squeeze? Yeah, go ahead and read it. This is from Charle. I did. Squeezed his hand three times and he did it back. Cool because we now do the three hand squeezes with Rue and Scotty.

I think we didn't actually say the words until like a week later. It was lying in bed one night at his old Ashburn townhouse in late June 2017. Right before he did. took me to Bon Turie for the first time for Fourth of July. Yeah, that's spot on. And the three squeezes is like, that's what we do with the kiddos. Let's go. That's an epic story.

Yeah. I couldn't remember if she squeezed first or if I squeezed first. I just know it was reciprocated and we both kind of knew what was happening. You know, a little uncomfortable. And then it happens like for real, like a week later. You know you're kind of playing the game. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Yeah. Come on, man. Hey. Come on, man. Happy Valentine's Day. And then when you see your kiddos doing it with each other, one, two, three, I love you. Because they're an egg.

Because they're an egg, man, they're an egg. You got to pour it, you got to nurture, you got to feed it. That's right. That's right. Mine is I did coming back from a date from Dallas, and we stopped in the Fort Worth Water Gardens. I pulled off I-30, and I took her down to the center of the Fort Worth Water Gardens.

I told her I loved her. No, no, no. All of that's correct, for extra credit. I was about, I was like, we're calling her right now. I'll read. I'll read Jills. I'll just read it. Sherman, with an exclamation mark.

We were driving back from a fun night out in Dallas, and he pulled over and took me to the Water Gardens downtown and told me he loved me for real. But the first time he ever did was we were joking and talking in bed, and he said, love you. And then backtracked because he got embarrassed. And I said that's not embarrassing because he's my best friend. And then his eyes watered, he got emotional.

He he, he, he, he, in all caps. That is also true. I started backtracking because I was trying to play it cool. And she said, that's okay. Like, you're my best friend in the whole world. And then I started tearing up. I was like, I'm your best friend? Like I like, I like, I liked that.

Did she say it back right away? Or did she say you're my best friend? No, like she, it was like a. like I love you back type of thing and saying like you're my favorite person in the world like you're my best friend so when you said love you that she said I love you too

yeah something like that something like that it wasn't like a- You're married now and you have Scarlet but I'm thinking that's funny it wasn't like a friend because I can see you back trying to be oh dude you're my best friend

I appreciate that it's like just friends with Ryan Reynolds I love you. You're my best friend. Yes. It wasn't like a friend zone type of thing. It was like her way of like trying to make me feel better in the moment. Because she didn't say it back right away.

Yeah. I don't know though. I don't remember like what she. You love her man. You love hard. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But she is too.

She is too. And I can't remember if she said I love you back or like I love you too. But she said something along those lines. And then because I botched that so much, I was like, I want to tell her that I love her, like, for real. And that's why I did the Water Garden thing. Because we had had such a great date night. And I was like, I want her to know that, like, I do love her.

And I'm not scared to share that. And the Fort Worth Water Gardens, if you ever go, it's beautiful. Is that the game? Is that the game? That was a fun game. I know we, you have something at 1.30. We need to wrap your. soon. Oh, we're over an hour. Yeah. We have some voicemails and emails and emails.

When Sherman was four years old, I gave him a big cardboard heart full of Reese's peanut butter cups. I watched him.

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

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

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

We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title. Oh, that's a podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

This is David Eagleman with the Inner Cosmos podcast, and for Mental Health Awareness Month, we're dedicating a series to understanding the mind when it struggles.

I'm joined by doctors, researchers, and those with lived experience. We'll talk with singer-songwriter Jewel about anxiety. I started living in my car, and then my car got stolen. I was shoplifting. I was having panic attacks. I was agoraphobic. And making it through hardship. To be present is a learned skill, and it's hard to be present.

We'll talk with John Nelson about clinical depression and the brain implant that saved his life. What I learned is that procedure made me happy because I'm disease-free. And we'll talk with leading experts. like Judd Brewer about anxiety and John Hirschfield about obsessive-compulsive disorder and the science of how the brain can change. This is a month of deeply personal and honest conversations about what happens when the brain goes off course

Listen to cultivating her space on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. in the kitchen island. While he was at preschool, I could not be trusted. I ate all his recess peanut butter cups and I had to refill it and did it again, refilled it, did it again. On the third time, he just started bawling, crying and I was like, okay, I'm going to either have to switch to some kind of candy I don't like or I'm going to have to give up sugar and quit traumatizing my child. So I literally did not eat sugar for, 10 solid years after the Reese's peanut butter incident.

Yo, that is hilarious. And she like full on would sit me down each time and be like, honey, I love you so much and I'm so sorry. But I ate all your candy, but I got you another chocolate heart. And I was like, that's okay. I love you, mom. But she did it three times. And at that point, I was like, what's going?

in front of your kid Do you think the dog ate the candy? Yeah. It had to do a thing. Oh, rooster, he jumped on the island. He got in your candy. Brewster! I caught him.

He was standing on the island. I said, Brister! And this one, you were at school? When she ate the candy? We had to take the vet and everything. He's doing good now. We had to pump his stomach. He's in the backyard.

You go play with him. Yeah, he'd go play. But he ate your candy. I ain't sitting rude down and be like, I eat your candy three times in a row. Yeah. But hey, kicked off 10 years of sobriety with chocolate. Yes.

Hello, I'm calling in for the Valentine's Day. episode. I heard you guys wanted some good Valentine's Day stories and I know I'm not a dad, but I'm calling on behalf of my husband because he'd be too embarrassed to share this story. My name is Alexis Yuleberry. I live in the greater Nashville area and my husband is not from here. My birthday is two days before Valentine's Day. So it always gets clumped together, which is okay. But my husband being the best guy he is, the year we got together, he wanted to, make sure that my birthday, a Valentine's Day, was separate from one another. Okay.

However, he is not used to Nashville. He'd never experienced Nashville Valentine's Day. He had only been here for like six months before we went on this date. So I ask him two weeks leading up, are you sure you have a reservation for Valentine's Day? Everywhere is going to be booked. And that's already too late. Yeah, babe, I got it. Don't worry about it.

I've got you. We're going to have a great time. He rented us a hotel room. We had a whole day planned. Yeah. It's a great day. We get all dressed up. We go out, have coffee, everything like that.

Hit the shock wave. And when we get to the restaurant, I can tell it's booked, booked out. And we're like all excited. We get in there. He didn't make a reservation for any restaurants at all. I've been there. And so when we realized he didn't make any reservations, I realized it pretty quick. I was very, very mad, as you could imagine.

So he took me to Sonic and we ate a chili cheese hot dog. And then we went into Chucky Cheese and we won a bunch of tickets. And then we gave them to all the parents who were spending their Valentine's Day at Chuckie Cheese just like us. And now here we are five years later, married two kids, live in our best life, ready to enjoy another Valentine's Day, probably involving chili cheese. Hot dogs. So we hope you have you a great Valentine's Day. Thanks for listening. Bro, the amount of swagger and poise that you have to have as you walk up to a juice to the

gills restaurant that you know there's no way you're getting a table. There's not a chance in hell. And he was probably walking in with the biggest smile. I wonder if in his mind he just thought he'd be able to walk in and get some. You know what I mean? If she's reminding him and telling him, I get, you might get, I've been in the spots where it's like the week of and then you realize, oh, everything's booked out. This is a different ball game out here in Nashville.

Nashville's really any city, I guess. But Nashville's like wild. It's like a month out. You got to do it. Right, right. It is nuts. And I'm wondering if in his mind, you know what I mean? Like if you didn't book anything, if he had.

fear walking in that restaurant. That's what I'm saying. Like the amount of confidence that you just had to fake. Yeah. Of like, yeah, we'll get in. They'll get a table and you see it and it's just bad.

And you've already been talking about the restaurant. I love that place. Oh my gosh, you got a reservation that, yeah, honey. You think I am? What, you think we're going to go get chili cheese dogs and Sonic? And you know, Miss MT6 is sitting there, giving him an earful.

and that just have the poise to say What about Sonic? That was And the Chucky Cheese I could see I could see I could see a Chucky Cheese move You know

All right how do we make That's a sicker Yeah yeah yeah Yeah he's a good one Because he didn't quit He could that could have ended in a fight And that it was Yeah

That could have still ended in a fight but he was like no no no we're going to Sonic pull on up give us a couple chili cheese dogs hit the red button

yeah he was walking from the car like looking in the restaurant window like I guess you're too top what about the table over there can we get that one hey it's funny because when I called them

I was like make sure to get the table in the corner babe what a legend sweetheart I got a place for us called the owner they said nobody's going to be there it's all ours.

It's all ours. Making that left turn into a sonic. Hey? All ours. Also, a cheat code. Here's a dad hack for you. When we were at the Super Bowl in New Orleans and you wanted to plan that dinner

with Dave, Portnoy. Yeah. You looked at me and said, hey, can you make it happen, reservation and blah, blah, blah. And I said, yes, not realizing that everything was going to be booked out. So then I just started telling people

on the phone, hey, I'm with Dave Portnoy's team. We're in town for the Super Bowl, and Dave would love to come have dinner, us not even knowing if Dave was going to come. Dave loves your restaurant and cannot wait to go get dinner there. And he's going to have a party of about this big and every single place said, absolutely, we love Dave Portnoyne and blah, blah, blah.

So just give him a celebrity name. Hey, Sherm's always thinking on his feet. And somebody figuring it out because they're like, oh, yeah, I'll make it happen. Give him a celebrity name. Hey, Owen Wilson loves your... Sorry, I'm calling on behalf of Owen Wilson. He's actually in town.

He's shooting a film and he has been going on and on about your restaurant. He would love to dine there this evening. Is there any way we could get a table for four? And what they do, what they did with me on the phone, is it, let me go speak with management, blah, blah, blah. It'll take about two minutes and they will be the most excited, cheerful person on the other side of the phone when they get back. Because that manager's like,

Owen Wilson? Yeah. Yeah, we'll have a table for four. Hey, that's a hack, too. That's a hack, dude. Because they don't... When is Owen Wilson? Oh, he couldn't join us tonight.

He couldn't join us tonight. Oh, my gosh, we just got a call from, from Owen. Yeah, his flight was supposed to land in New York. You know, he's in parachute in that film. His flight got delayed in, so he's not going to make it tonight. Because I'm sure y'all bent over backwards. Yeah. For, oh, my gosh.

But out of respect for you guys, I know we said four, do you mind? Like we had two kids. I figured we'd just take them along with us. Give us some to-go food. We'll take it back for O in the hotel. Yeah. The kids are waiting outside the restaurant. We have our driver coming and dropping up our kids.

Hey, sweetheart. Make sure you get an Uber black. Hey, y'all come in. You know how you can do that message thing to him? Tell the driver to walk in. Mr. Compton, your children? Oh, yes. Jeeves.

Hello? My driver. is a Batman's Butler's name? Alfred. Oh, Alfred. Glad you made it, buddy. Sorry, that's our guy.

How's the blocked out Lincoln Navigator with full other seats? Is it good? So Owen Wilson really couldn't come? Oh, no. Oh, no.

Shit. The manager's just just dealing to the manager. He said he was Alfred said he was sitting at the airport for over an hour. The manager's so pissed just sitting there staring at everything. He has no way to prove it. But yeah, maybe that, maybe you do that, you know? Yeah. Yeah. That's some game. That's a dad hack right there.

That's a dad hack. Um, all right, could have gone to Chick-fil-A. Hey, I got a Valentine's Day story for you. This is Matt Webb from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Shout up, Matt. Valentine's Day, about six years ago, my wife was pregnant with her oldest, and I took her to a super nice and pretty pricey steakhouse here in town. And we both ordered the filet mignon with some sides because that stuff was good. And on the way home, all I'm thinking about is riding that shockwave. You know what I'm saying? I know what you're saying, big dog.

We got home, and then the pregnancy sickness kicked in. Oh. And then that dinner she ate, it came up. And I was no longer thinking about the shockwave. Oh, no. I was thinking, bitch, we could have went to Chick-fil-A if I knew you were going to throw up that $30 steak. Luckily, my wife is a G, and we joke about it to this day, every Valentine's Day. So, hey, boys, keep up the good work. Pt6.

Out. When you said you weren't thinking about the shockwave anymore, it reminded me of when Ruth Ruff and we'll just go, hey, put thou on it. Put it down on it. It's all right. Put a towel on it. It's all good, honey. You're holding their hair, is it?

Just brush your teeth, you know? Yes, yes. It ain't over until it's over. Holding the hair, yak, and then all of a sudden, you know, here's a sip of water, sweetheart. You're all in your hair, they got, I wonder if, you know, We still, oh, I got to go to bed right after this. Fuck.

You probably feel a lot better after getting all that out of you. Like, you probably, you probably feel better than you did before. Like, oh, I got to go bed. You're like, fuck. And then it's like, you probably feel better, right? You know, every time I throw up, I'm always feeling like lighter. Like, I can do anything. And before, when you weren't feeling good, you were down for the shockways.

So now that you feel better, you're probably even more like, let's, hey, let's do it. You know, let's ride shockway twice. Oh, that's incredible. Incredible. Also, built-in BP, or BC, sorry. Built in... During pregnancy. It's a little built-in B-C for you.

B-C. Birth control. Yeah. That's why he was excited. Yeah, man. He did no sweat. Nothing takes a wind out of your sale. I was like, no one, it ain't going to happen when you had it on your mind.

It's like when I flew back off the two-hour, two-and-a-half-hour sleeve, I've had to see my wife all week, kind of excited. You know, maybe a little touchy, touchy, love it. You excited to see Dad. And then when his eye and I'm tired, I got to. But you got that extra credit, Will? Yeah. Yeah.

Built up some equity. Yeah. What did I? What did I text my wife? A lot of editing this episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What did I say? I love that your dad hatchet you.

To avoid getting pregnant, get your wife pregnant. and then you can't get her pregnant again for nine months. Isn't that sick? What a dad hack. Just impregnator and then you're good for nine months. You'll be fun. Oh, man. I should have added this to the last part of the story.

So you know how they went out to dinner, cocktails, drinks, everything else? Yeah, yeah. She ended up texting me around like 8.30, like once dinner reservation started. She's like, how's it going, love? babies asleep does freedom away i said taking in water right now oh yeah i forgot about all of this i said reading the rue out right now the plunge tub was leaking so i had to clean it up i like six towels i had like six towels in the floor because i was trying to hook it up yes and it was leaking and

She comes back in the room She's got her rain boots on Oh yeah Yeah oh yeah And then she's like I was like Dish is still in the sink She said oh oh Jesus

I said are you having fun She said I am Thank you for letting me have a day A day and night with Teddy We just got to sushi And I shot her a little kissy emoji And then I said Payment will be accepted

So when I say payment, we'll be accepted. That's why I start taking some chicken cheetah to the face a little bit. Like, you know, we got to have a little bit of fun tonight. I think the tequila, the chicken chita had already been bored. I was getting a little, you know, you know what? That was the peanut butter. They might be coming back in a good move. Why if he's going to be all excited?

Who knows? First night back, first day back. Yeah. And she loves me? Yeah, like, oh, gosh, I'm tired. I just remember her laying on my shirt. shoulder and I was like, uh, you fall in asleep? She's like, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm falling asleep.

I was like, all right. And that's kind of when you move the shoulder over a little bit more and you're just like, well, I guess I'll just go to sleep as my face is numb. You know, that's, that's weird. You're falling asleep. Hey, Charo. Yeah, yeah. Hey, I'm falling asleep, too.

That's crazy. But guess we're not asleep. What was the, uh, hell? What was the nickname? that he named Matthew McCona. Oh, he got his peace named. Something, the Warrior King. Yeah.

What does she nickname it? She nicknames it something like, you know, pee-wee and he's like, no, it's got me. Crow, the Warrior King. Yeah, Crow, the Warrior King. Crow, the Warrior King, he's away, he's ready to go. You out? Okay, you're listening.

And see, Jill would love that reference, because that's from her favorite film, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. So that will probably, she'll love that. She'll laugh at that one. Teddy for another girl. Good one. Good one.

Fellas, how's it going? Clay from Cincinnati here. Saw your post about Valentine's Day. Got a bad gift story for you guys. Just want to say thank you first off. I got a four-month-old here. Found the podcast a couple months before where he got here. So you guys have helped me through a time.

I mean my fiance have been together since high school. I was 14 at the time. I had bought in a teddy bear for her for Valentine's Day. Well, kind of. That's what she thought. I bought it for the girl I was talking to before and never gave it to her. So it was just sitting there in the closet. So my 14-year-old brain, I thought, this is a great idea.

Let's give it to her. She gets it, loves it. A couple years down the road, she finds out it wasn't originally for her good you know let's bail out of that one still to this day i hear about it 22 or 23 now whoops um so yeah been together since 2017 going on nine years married next year a little four-month-old jordy as happy as could be sitting here smiling at me talking to you guys now thanks for all you guys do bye i love that well how old he say was 23 when it happened When it happened 14, but they're still together at 23.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, man, that is a 14-year-old male mind at work right now. Oh, yeah. Something left in the closet. Why go buy a new one? Yeah. Just use this why I got away around. Who leaked the information?

Oh, dude, they got to go. They got to go. I, in a similar vein, I guess, I was talking to someone at the time. We weren't openly dating to the world at the time. at the time and she received flowers and was like, oh my gosh, like thank you so much for these flowers.

I didn't send them. And a part of me wanted to claim it, but I was like, I didn't send those. And it was another suitor. It was very, it was interesting. I was like, you just respond. I'm glad you're so happy.

Well, yeah, I could have. I could have gone with the Owen Wilson, you know, actually sent those flowers. on behalf of me. So thank Owen Wilson. But yeah, dude, it was, that's always awkward. Not a good spot to be.

Yeah. Charo and I is one of our first, I think, like our first Valentine's, so where the relationship wasn't defined. Uh-huh. But she was at the house, and she got me something. And I'm like, I didn't get her anything.

So I didn't really know what to do. She didn't make it seem like it was a big deal. Yeah, yeah. But it eventually felt like a big deal. And I kind of didn't know, that's a slippery slope that's the same thing because it's like

I'm sitting there going damn I should have got flowers I guess I don't like what's it first off what's going on there secondly I should have done that and they oh Jill and I's first Valentine's was so botched it was the worst Valentine's Day

of all time I know we have like a ton of voicemails to get through but I botched my very first valentines with Jill I still wouldn't consider that first valentines or Valentine's The one where she got you a gift? Yeah, because clearly I wasn't.

Probably should have kept that one classified, though. We've been in the trenches for 11 years now. battling with our two soldiers, 11 and 2.5 years old and couldn't be happier. Every day, I sit back and think, how did I get so lucky? From Buds in 2013 to living in Australia for our first birth, aka D-Day,

to getting the entire family back to the States to our second D-Day a couple years ago. This woman is my world and such a gangster, and I hope she knows it. much love boys and keep fighting the good fight for us dance love y'all love you too hey that's an empty sicko dude hitting the wall stand yeah to make sure outside down yeah yeah i've i've heard that that is a rumor by the way i don't know if that's true i think every parent has come across this this type of lore yeah oh yeah yeah yeah this this is the reality I'm a believer in that kind of lore Like I am no expert

AI's ruining everything. Let's do another. Let's do another voicemail. Did you say one more, last one? Yeah, we do. Last one here.

Hey, you heard you boys needed some Valentine's Day stories. Yes, sir. My name is Josh from Jefferson City, Tennessee. And Valentine's Day, 2025 changed my life forever. It is the day that I officially joined Papa Team 6. Oh, that's cool.

My little man, Elliot, is turning one on February the 14th. I'm sad about how fast that this first year is gone. But I'm really proud of the boy that he's becoming. You know, his personality is really starting to shine. He's just, he's the funniest, silliest little dude, man. My wife and I are also high school sweethearts, so this year will be our 12th Valentine's Day together. Last year was a wildly different experience from the previous ones, but, you know, this day will never exactly be the same again. But I'm glad that it happened this way.

Elliot is the best of both of us. So him coming on Valentine's Day is just a perfect representation of that. I wouldn't change the thing about that if I had the chance to. Oh, and Sherma, I'm afraid I didn't get my couch badge either in both the delivery room and on the mother baby unit they moved us to after. After the delivery, I had a chair that pulled out. It basically made a small bed, man.

I slept like a king. But I wanted to wish a happy Valentine's Day to my beautiful wife, Michaela, and a happy first birthday to my son, Elliot. Thank you, fellas, for taking the time to listen and go Big Orange. Hey, come on. God, chef.

Don't you just love love, love. I love, love. Chef would have loved that. Member of Chair Force One. Shout out Josh. Shout out Michaela, his wifey. And just that story. Again, I love love.

I love. And I love the high school sweetheart stuff, dude. And just hearing mom or dad either one, just talk or, you know, shout out their other. Shout up being a parent. Mm. Jill's friend Lauren that's here in town, their high school sweetheart's her husband and her. I love hearing stories like that, dude. Because it is kind of funny just how people, you know, dads and moms out there,

they're not going to be your forever. You're being so dramatic about it. And the fact that like people find love at that age or like emotionally mature enough to be like, no, I want to be with this person. I want to develop like the love to grow and our relationship to grow. It blows my mind because me at 18. Yeah. I mean, Lord.

The rarity of those things actually happening. Yes. Because again, our brains like aren't fully developed until what, close to 30 or maybe 30? It's still working on it. Yeah. Yeah. Still where. I'm still developing.

My brain's still developing. I'm throwing my boxes into other people's dumpsters and they're getting left in my driveway. I'm 32 years old. I'm a man. I'm an adult. That's really cool Yeah GBO man

Go Big Red. GBR. And happy Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day. I have one from Sean Bingham. How's it going, boys? Back when my wife and I first started dating in college, we were going to go out to eat,

but decided to go to Taco Bell instead because we were in a hurry with classes. Wife was not happy when we went to Taco Bell. It took a while to build my brownie points back up. Fast forward a year, and we decided we are going to go somewhere nice to eat. Of course, being in college, Red Lobster was considered nice, L.O. And Olive Garden. Hey, come on.

Come on. I can mess with both of those. Out back. Come on. Went to Red Lobster. It was snowing, freezing cold outside, and I was told there is a two-hour wait because being an idiot, I didn't make a reservation.

We were waiting by the door freezing when being the chatty guy I am started talking with the other couple about the most random things, trying to pass the time by and trying to keep our sanity. We ended up getting a table and went all out. appetizers, drinks, most expensive things on the menu. When it came time to get our bill, our waitress came up and said our bill was paid for. We instantly started going, what?

This only happens in movies. Looked around the waiting room and the couple we talked with while we were waiting, raised their glasses and gave us a toast. What a way to celebrate Valentine's Day after going to Taco Bell the year before. Moved on up in the world. Good reminder to pay it forward and bless those around you. Cheers and happy Valentine's Day, PT6. Love the podcast and it is a favorite of mine to listen to you while doing chores around the house to keep Milk Team 6 happy.

Thanks for all the tips and laughter over the last couple of months, Sean. You're doing the dishes right now to keep that empty six happy. And I hope you got a little smile on your face because you have Valentine's Day legend. Legend. Love that story. Got their dinner paid for? That's sick. A couple that they were talking with?

That's sick. I've only had that happen one time, and it was my aunt Shannon was in the restaurant. I did not know that. Shout out my aunt Shannon. And I was, I mean, Jill and I both were like, what the hell? Like, why, what? And I saw, you know, I just scanned the room and I saw her looking over and smiling at me. I was like, let's go. Raise the glass. Let's go. You're unreal. I got one here from Chris McKee. This is Chris McKee. This is Chris McKee. Get ready. He bringing the Hello guys. I love the podcast so much. It has truly become can't miss listening to me. And sometimes with my son when I'm at work or in the car with him, keep up the amazing work. My funny story is from Valentine's 2024. It was a Valentine's day during the middle of the week. So me, my son or my soon-to-be wife had agreed that we would do valentines on the weekend after. She was and still is a barber in Cool Spring. Shameless plug. I met her when she. she was done with work and I got some energy drinks to charge up for the evening.

Yeah, you did, buddy. Them gas station bills too. We were turning out of the parking lot to go to the gas station to fill up her car. On the parkway, Carothers, Carothers? Carruthers. Let's go with Caruthers. Caruthers Parkway has a median. So she pulls into the center to get across the street.

I look up and see her brake lights come off and start my turn to pull. pull out. Someone at the last second cuts her off in this particular brand of energy drink I had started to rattle around in the cup holder. I proceeded to rear in my wife's car. No. No. Kick her here

is the day after is the day after New Year's. We found out that we were expecting our second child, our son. We pull across the street to the gas station. Her car was smashed and so was mine. Good. We call the police to report the incident. The first cop responds and he has a

great sense of humor. He asked what happened and proceeded to jokingly pull out the handcuffs. My first lesson as a husband to be, we leave my car and take her car to dinner. She was not going to be denied her steak and dessert boys. Two years later, I'm still embarrassed by it. But it was a funny and expensive lesson. Even in the chaos, go get the steak and go love on your spouse. P.D. Sakeser, go love on her. Hey, shout out Cool Springs PD, dude. That's all time. Yeah. He you? What happened? All right, buddy. Turn around. Spread them.

And this is your husband. Play the taser a little bit. Oh, my God. Dude, that's, that's hilarious. Wesley Murray said, fellas, we all know Valentine's Day comes with one non-negotiable. Take care of the wifie.

That's standard, that's standard issue. But if you're a girl dad, you've got double duty, triple duty in your case. Valentine's Day, isn't just about romance. It's about raising the bar for every future boyfriend, fiance, and husband who's going to have to measure up one day. That's why every year I take my daughter

on her own Valentine's Day date. Nothing fancy, nothing stressful, just something that week where it's all about her. We get dressed up. I bring her flowers and a little gift and we head to her favorite place to eat. And of course, we finish wrong with a cookie from the mall because that's our thing. These little traditions matter. My daughter is the light of my life, and I want her to grow up knowing exactly how she deserves to be treated with respect, effort, and genuine care. And yeah, I prayed that one day she finds a man

who's twice as good to her as I am, which means that poor guy has some work to do. Girl dads, this is your reminder. Valentine's Day isn't just for your partner. It's a chance to model love, confidence, and standards for your daughter. I love that. I love that. I love that, Wesley.

Well done. It's got to be fired up to do a little date with Rue. Oh, dude. I cannot wait. I'm thinking of doing Chick-fil-A with Scarlett. Yeah. Because Jill works Valentine's, so we're going to do a belated Valentine's. But I think I'm going to take her to Chick-fil-A.

She'll love it. She'll get a little mac and cheese. Yeah, you want to taste that? A couple more. A couple more. A couple more. All right, Thomas. Perkins. Hey, my name is Thomas and you all said to write in with Valentine's Day stories,

but boys, I need help. My wife is currently pregnant with our first child. She doesn't care for Valentine's Day, never has, but every year I always do something special for her just because. Well, this year, she will be 28 weeks pregnant at Valentine's Day and as you all refer to it, getting close to being in the trenches. I just need some help on what to do this year that won't, that won't send her into an irritated mood and where my chewing isn't too loud or breathing isn't too bothersome. She hates all food except what she's craving

at that exact moment. Any ideas would be great. Thank you and the show is great. Thomas. Bro, Thomas is so dialed in right now. He's dialed in right now. Just the added detail of the crunching the food. Yeah, breathing a little too loud.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I forgot. I'm so sorry about that, honey. I'll stop existing. What game would you give him? I'm thinking just icebreaker. You just get her favorite meal. If she doesn't want to go out, that's fine. She's 28 weeks pregnant. Maybe she truly doesn't want to. Like, you'd be doing too much. Yeah, I don't blame it there. I don't blame it at all. But you still want to do something special. So whatever it is, whether it's flowers or favorite meal, whatever it is, maybe you bring it home and you break the ice by like the irritations going on. Yeah, I got this meal for you. I set up your own little area. All of it. You're going to enjoy.

I'm going to sit over here in the corner. Why you sit over there, a corner, sweetheart, I don't want to irritate you. I don't want to piss you off this day. It's all about you. It's all about you. Foot rubs mandatory, dude, because you know the fluids at week, you know, 28. I mean, that's, yeah.

Foot rubs, non-negotiable. Maybe you make a little coupon book. Your own little coupon book. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The dinners are non-negotiable. And the gift for Valentine's Day is a little, a coupon book that you make on your own. foot rub, back massage.

Yes. Order. You know, she probably already has a pregnancy pillow. One last glass of water, even though I'm already in bed when you ask me. What do you want me to get overnighted right now from Amazon? One free take all the boxes, a random dumpster. Yeah. The other cherry on top that I would say, did they say 28 weeks with a girl?

Did they say girl? 28 weeks pregnant, pregnant with her first child. Baby girl, baby boy, baby girl. Damn, if it is a girl or if you don't know, could get a little Valentine's Day outfit boy or girl at Target, probably for super cheap. They won't be sold out on those. And get it a year sized.

Like get it for, you know, whatever that would, it's like 9 to 12 would probably be a safe range. Yeah, yeah. Get a little 9 to 12 sized Valentine's thing and be like for our little baby next year. You can have some fun with that little coupon book. Dude, the coupon book is, that's a dad hack for anniversary, birthday, blah, blah, blah. That's a hobby hack.

And if you draw it out, like hand draw it and put the little dots, like they're supposed to cut it out and shit, get cute with it, dude. That's sneak a couple shockwave ones in that. I'll use them all at once, honey. Oopsie. Honey, there's 20 of these that say shockwave? Yeah. It's like every other one. Yeah, yeah.

Just a little asterix at the bottom, like in small print on a coupon. Once used, shockwave is expected. It can be used in the car, in the living room, in the bedroom, maybe outside in the backyard where the fences are tall enough that they really, anywhere you want to use this, you can use it anywhere. There's no rules. No, that's the thing you just put shockwave expected. when coupon is being used.

So whatever Mama wants, whatever she's like, oh, foot rub. I got you. It's a 30 minute foot rub. Did you read the fine print on the bottom? Astrid with the shockwave, there really are no rules now that I think about it. And it really...

Shockwave at play when requested. I'll do it right then and there. Oh, God. Zachary Perrone. or brony boys a few years back I found myself in the trenches of doom by screwing out Valentine's Day

I was in a softball league and always were never good but this year we made it to the ship and of course the game was on V-day wife's wifey was quote-unquote cool with it and even came to support but afterwards of us not even winning

I took the wifie to Arby oh dude Arby's oh Zachary I got I got to stop. I got to stop right there, dude. We could have at least done Sonic Chili. Chilli cheese. We got

the meats. Arbys is wild. Arbys is wild. I took the wife to Arby's in the man. And the manager looks at me and goes, this is your romantic choice? Even the managers on it. Like buddy Arbys.

The fuck you're doing it here. What? What? I didn't know what? Just around dinner time, somebody walks in, what the fuck are you guys doing here? It's February 14th. Like, literally, what are you doing here? We should be closed. It's people like you that can't allow us to be closed.

To tell my manager all week, we need to be closed on Valentine's Day. Nobody's coming through. Doug, it's Arby's. Nobody's coming. And then Zachary Perone comes walking in it. You know what, Doug? Fuck you. What do you want?

Go ahead. Oh, Slice Pete, Pris. get great choice, Doug. The Apple turnover is on me for the beautiful lady. Followed up the manager. Well done manager. To this day, I will never not hear about it from her,

her friends and her family. Husband hack, don't go to Arby's on Valentine's day. That's a great dad act. Safe to say your boy didn't get lucky that day. That's Zachary. Yo boys want some game, man. Don't take your girl to Arby.

on Valentine's Day. That's free game. That's maybe the best advice has ever come from this show. Truly. If we can teach the public anything, just Arby's probably isn't. And dads need to hear that.

Us men, we do need to hear, we need to be reminded of stuff like that. Because you've got to save the next generation. You do. Those mistakes. Feed that idea. And sometimes you'll have an egg that's a bad idea that's go to Arby's on Valentine's Day.

Don't feed that egg. Yeah, don't feed that egg. You got to crack that egg. You got to crack that egg and let it spoil. That's a bad egg. People are laughing at you for a reason and those people laughing are right. Bro, Arby, like even seeing the sign in my head, like on Valentine's Day, like driving up and seeing that hat with Arby's written over it, just makes me laugh, dude. Poor Arby's.

We love you, Arby's. I know we've been going for a really long time. Yeah, yeah, good sode. Good sode. Yeah. What were you about to do? I have a Dan Gable quote. Oh, we got to hit the non-negotiables.

I'll go ahead. This one, I switch it up a little bit, Will. I went and listened to Dan Gable's episode on the Joe Rogan experience. Good soed. Good soed. Back in 2024. And he had a great quote here. And I was thinking of like how something that could be applied to kids.

He said, you know, sometimes you give a kid a break or two and it comes back to hunt. Yeah. It became kind of a ritual for me to go leave home about 1130 every night and go to downtown Iowa City to walk into bars to see where some of the guys were at and try and get them home. And, you know, that probably wasn't the right way to go about things. I should have had them where I didn't have to do that. but you know you win a lot and you start thinking you can cut corners that's honestly how I lost my last match which is a whole other story Dan Gable Joe Brogan experience 24

don't cut corners don't cut too much slack or else you'll be in Iowa City picking up your wrestlers yeah picking up your kids yeah yeah you're trying to rebel too hard on them I got a Dan Gable one right here I shoot, I score. He shoots, I score. Boom. Dan Gable said that.

We're running out of quotes. I got a bunch. I think you sure read that last week. I did. But Dan Gable said it. He said that. He did say that. That is a Dan Gable quote.

Yeah. It's a good one. Let's find another one Yeah, yeah, yeah We gotta get another one, man Always remember the pain of defeat Yeah And never let it happen again

Take the trash out, man Thank you for listening, man Good song, man The pain of defeat And never let it happen Again Again Remember what it felt like

To walk into that Arby's And that man You'll look at you and go You fucking for real right, Balgai? the pain my man endured when shockwave was off the table because he took her to a nice steakhouse and she got sick remember that pain and never make that mistake nor let it ever happen again remember that pain when you leaned over to ask about shot wave and she said not a chance because my stomach is about to explode with rby's curly fries because that's about the only thing on the menu

ordering. And to refer back to the quote that's been double quoted the last two weeks. When she tells you no, and she shoots her shot, you score. But then when you shoot your shot, you score.

Dan Gable, everyone. Happy Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day. Drop a... Heart would be too easy. Some flowers. Yeah. Actually, drop a big old steak for Arby's.

Drop a big old steak emoji. Oh, put a ribbon on it. And put a ribbon on it. Yeah. Oh, that's good day. Drop the meat with the ribbon. Arbys, ribbons.

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 of black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The story I told myself can then shape my behavior, and that can lead me to sabotage the possibility of connection.
