Alongside Will is his producer Sherman Young, a soon-to-be dad who’s currently enjoying his last few months of uninterrupted sleep and freedom. Together, they’ll break down everything that can go right and wrong (...usually wrong) when you bring tiny humans into this world. Expect funny parenting stories, laughs, call-ins, advice, weekly themes, and the kind of conversations you’d have over a cold beer in the garage. Whether you’re raising teens or still Googling “how to install a car seat”, For the Dads is the ultimate podcast for dads who are in it, about to be in it, or just trying to do their best while screwing it up along the way.   -----   FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram:   / Forthedadspod  Twitter:   / Forthedadspod Facebook:   / Forthedadspod TikTok: / Forthedadspod   LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify -----   SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Wayfair - Get organized, refreshed, and back to routine for way less.

Facebook TikTok. I'm hearing that we're on Reddit officially. We're out there. We're out there. And nothing gets us more juice than seeing the numbers go out. We're taking a bit of a hit during football season. That was expected. That's expected.

We need to bring it. our coach speak, bring in our football talk as we continue to grow this channel because there are the PT6. Look, as long as we have the PT6 sickos and the milk team six sickos and everybody engaging the way that they have been, we're going to be just fine. We'd love to see some growth during the football season because that tells me, we already know we got a brand, but this is can we do an overarching thank you? Because I know on the live stream, I was only there for the Thursday one, but I'm guessing they probably did it on the Saturday one too. Saw a lot of PT6 comments on the live stream.

Nothing gets to piss out more than seeing Papa Team 6 show up in the comments of our other shows, whatever we're doing, checking in with Fat Stafford and Willie 1 shelf. If you really want to make a name for yourself in the PT6 community, it's going to bwtb.com. This hat, is this hat in the store? The black one? I'm going to have to confirm that. I'm telling you right now, chef is our lead producer of the show, the captain of Seaman Team 6.

And I am not lying, bro. Popa Team 6, people are going nuts about this black hat. And if it's not in the store right now, we're going to have problems in the comment section. Because they want it. I want them to have it. I don't make those decisions. I'm like, yeah, yeah, we should have it. Hell yeah, I love the black cat, too.

We have problems in the comment section about the black hat. There are riots being formed for the black hat. I hope they fucking storm the shop and figure out where we are and hold whoever's running the merch shop, Garrett, Alex, whoever, up against the wall

with a knife, where is the black hat? When that thing drops, it's going to be a problem. It's going to, we're going to sell out in five seconds,

tell them, double it. Whatever it is, double it. Because BT6 is coming. They're coming. The beaches of Normandy, they're coming.

Also, this guy. We do have some stuff. Dropping soon. Oh, that's not in there either. So we're talking about shit that might not even be in the store. We do it.

But it will be. It will be. You know what it is in the store, Will? Tell us. Our merch team so graciously gifted me with, and I mean that in sincerity, this was awesome to find on my desk. Good onesie. We got adults. Listen, the babies, they can't hear this.

They can't see the good onesie. Maybe the mom will. If you have a mom sitting there at home right now in the living room with her husband. Yeah. Oh, let's get that. Let's get that for Julian. Oh, Sherby made a good point. Yeah, let's get the little onesie.

But the adult stuff, we got to get rocking. We got Papa Team 6 shirts. That's the biggest thing. You want to be a name in the community. You get the Papa Team 6 shirt. You get the dad hoodie. There's other T-shirts and hats in there. This hat's in there.

My name's Ian. I'm an Army veteran from Missouri, but go War Eagle, and a dad to a three-year-old little savage boy. I got out of the Army in 2020 and have struggled to find the brotherhood I had in the military. I lost one of my best friends from my unit to suicide in February. RIP Sergeant Brandon Rock. I miss you, buddy. I found the show in June, and it's giving me something a little. forward to every week and when I was and still admittedly still am struggling with the loss. Thank you for the needed last and the brother here with PT6.

Good. Love you, boys. Let's fucking kill this week. I love eyesight. I didn't want to read an emotional one and that one got emotional right in the middle. Yeah, dude, Ian could not agree more with you on a personal level. I feel the same way about the show as well with just being able to feel that like, camaraderie and it makes me so happy that that is coming through the camera, that that's

coming through the earbuds that people are getting that friendship, that camaraderie, that brotherhood or sisterhood for the MT-Sixers out there. But I love hearing that. Thank you for your vulnerability, brother. And just building off that because I had another one, Barbie Hason. Yeah. 62 86. This is to shout out the military moms and dads.

I love the show, thought for a show, military dads and moms. Shout out to them dealing with them missing monumental moments. Thank God we have FaceTime and other social media to stay present. I'm a daughter of a veteran. My dad served 20 years in the Army and my mom was a trooper, raising us without dad. Maybe just a shout out to them. Dude, let's go. Yeah, yeah, definitely shout out the military.

Shout out the military boys. And those guys who are tuning in that, you know, get some connection and relatability. like through us because I'm sure that they carry such extremes amount of guilt serving their country and doing the things that they feel like they need to be doing and missing big moments. I personally truly can only imagine what those guys go through just because again, like you got to assume these guys are ready to die for the country, like put their life on the line to protect and serve while also having such a strong tug and guilt not being back home like with their family with their kids i big time dude i cried seeing scarlet at the

airport after a week of not seeing her in person because the onesie that she was wearing the toes used to poof out it was too big for her and then i go to pick her up at the airport and it it's fit in her snug and i literally teared up that's after a week dude isn't it a nuts like especially when you have the first one i i still like seeing the same stuff was a little old scott zillo scotty Julie, but you're gone for a few days and you come back and you're like, you're growing up on me. She's, they've gotten huge. Your voice is changing. Huge.

Her eyes, the way they open now, I'm just like, you're actually seeing shit now. Yeah. It was rough. It was rough. Okay, I have a good one. I have a good one. We have a little surprise for Willie C. Oh, okay.

This came from Derek, who found it on our For the Dad's Instagram page. Shout out, Derek. This comes from Darren N. Been listening to For the Dads Pod since day one. I have an 11-week-old boy, and this podcast has given me a lot of laughs and advice to get me through the newborn trenches. Name is Darren, and I've been a longtime follower of Bussing with the boys because of Will Compton. I worked with the Redskins back in 2014 as a training camp pre-season athletic trainer intern. I was assigned to hydrate the inside linebackers.

Shout out Coach K.O. I just listened to last week's episode and I got a picture of me and a Gatorade towel over my shoulder because Will would always take the towel to wipe the inside of his helmet almost every rep of indie drills. Been meaning to share this fake and thought Will would appreciate this. Shout out Sherm for all your tips and the recent mom cozy bottle washer portable set, which we just bought because of you. Awesome, Darren. He provided this wonderful picture of old. Will Compton circa 2014. Look at that.

That's your boy. That's when I was number 46. Like that's when it was P Squad for your boy. It's my first training camp. Here, hold it. Hold it. You talk about it, why you hold it.

All right. So here's myself with me and my boy Darren. And yeah, this photo right here is your boy rocking number 46. This was my first training camp. This is my rookie year. And I was 46. I was at the bottom of the depth chart.

I think I was. seven out of seven with the linebackers. Like, I wasn't even with the threes. I got to rotate in with the threes. And I was number 46. And I thought, as I was wearing the jersey, I'm like, your boy's not going to last long because who else was 46?

Alfred Morris, Pro Bowl running back for the Washington Redskins at the time. So I thought it was just TikTok for your boy. But this photo is awesome. It warms my heart. It fires me up that Darren's tuning in, the Papa Team 6 and for the dad's podcast. And I tried telling you,

didn't like and had to be dry and Rue's just sitting there she got it from Pops you see her like when she gets done crying and stuff she takes like a good like three minutes just to make sure everything's dry and just like you are daddy's girl can I say something just really quick that will probably break your heart Rue is growing up dude I know man I'm seeing these pictures I'm like that's not a little toddler that's a little girl I know I know. And it's, I was reflecting on it too because I feel like she's just, our relationship. It's, it's always been strong, but I feel like she's actually becoming like, we're actually like homies. Because we were watching the other night when I was, we were watching Sunday night football, Ravens Bill's.

And I tweeted about this too because she kept bringing up the yellow team. But Scotty, mom had Scotty upstairs was putting her down. We didn't want to go upstairs yet. And the little it's for me, it was like the game starting. I would love to not miss kickoff. So I was like, you can watch a series with your old man before we go upstairs. But after the series is over, we got to go upstairs and get ready for bed. She's like, okay, we're sitting there watching the first series.

And she just hits you with just random. I love you, Dadda. Just we're sitting there watching ball, man. So the black team and then the, uh, the bills were wearing, bills were wearing their blues, right? Yeah, they're blues. She's like, oh, who's the blue team?

Like Buffalo Bills. Your daddy almost played for the Bills. And then she was like, the black team. And she's like, do you play on the black team and the blue team? I was like, no, your dad had played on a different black team, the Raiders and the red, and the red team with the redskins. And then dad had also played on her blue team. But it's not the same blue team as the Titans.

And she started to, you know, we're sitting there just watching the first drive. She's slowly, she's like leaning back on. She's like, I love you, dad, that looks up of me. And it's so awesome, but also so sad at the same time. Yeah. Just because she is growing up. She's growing up, dear. Yeah, she is.

And she's just a stud, man. We had our first soccer practice with her last week. And that was a lot of fun. I couldn't wait to just get the lawn chairs, have me a liquid death. I needed a cold doctor death, liquid death. The doctor deaths. Shout out. No free shout out.

No free shout out. to liquid dead. Because I already had, you know how your boys are on the shop. Like, I'm pounding these first forms. Like, there are these form energies like they're going out of style. Couldn't have one at like 5 o'clock. I have two right here. Yeah, they're great. But couldn't wait to just go sit in the lawn chair

and just watch your play. She was the only girl and she's like shy. She's very attentive. Doesn't have the need to get the killer instinct out of her. She's kind of, you know, bashful, like does everything right and stuff. But I need to see her take down a couple of the boys. Like beat them in some of the races that they were doing. She scored a couple goals. Like,

they put the nets down, they let you dribble it down there and kick it in. Okay. But it was just, it's fun. Is she hitting any ballet dance moves out on the field? She hit a spin one time, not yet, but she, like, you're talking about a dance move, and she, like, you know, she hit, she hit just an incredible spin. Yeah. Leg kicked up and everything else.

Kid is a stallion on the scooter. I've talked about it many times. Just blowing our, you know, our nanny, our nanny at home. like she just blows her away with some of the new tricks like she just we've listen i've bragged enough about rue on the scooter but she's growing up she's a spark plug bro she's very sweet knows what she wants got some attitude with her when it comes to us but if it's another authority figure everything else like she's very very shy and calm and sweet yeah um but it's not seeing her grow up i'm excited for this phase but yeah charro we have this

By the way, this could be a survivor, survival kit. Okay. We have this digital frame that's like connected to, like, Charles phone to the cloud. And it just, it just rips old photos. So you just see the old photos of Roo at Scotty's age and Roo at a year and a half and just moments where it's like, ah, it makes me sad, not happy. Like, those are gone. Yep.

Those are gone. Yep. All we have now is the photos and videos. That's why it's like, take as many photo and videos as you can. because it's gone. Shout out, whoever DM'd me that exact dad hack. You were on my, I have a saved album

of like future dad hacks. That was going to be one of mine. Or survival kits, sorry. Yeah. I got to get one of those. Take as many as possible, man. Videos, all of it. It's in there.

Hey, hey, you see Scott Zilla scooting across the floor this morning? Oh, no. Like Parsons going after that sad? Put it up. Put it up. Put it up, man. I want to see it. I like, you know I'm biased.

I'm fired up. The world's got to see this shit, bro. Send it to Max Crosby because I was like, Max Crosby going after sex, so I sent it to him. Check out Scotty Joe Lee. She's a menace. A menace, bro. Once a Raider?

Always a Raider. And she's born into that. She's born, she's grandfathered into the silver and blacks. They look good, by the way. I don't want to sit here and talk about the Raiders, but Gino Smith in that offense. They looked good. They did. They did.

But going all the way back, yeah, the moments they go by, you're happy that they're growing up because it's a new phase. They're always new challenges and new things to look forward to and be excited about. But you're also sad at the same time because all those moments are dead. Yes. Yes. They're like tears in the rain, as was said in what movie was that Blade Runner? They're lost like tears in the rain. Yeah.

Amen, bro. That is so true. I know every dad is just, every parent is just like, God, yeah, man. How do you bottle this shit up and make these moments last forever, especially when you're annoyed and piss off. Roo, I just don't play for the yellow team. And that's okay. Yeah, that's okay. We did have to go back and forth and got to a point, hey, quit asking. I didn't do it, so quit asking. Yeah, go to bed. Yeah, she's like, she gets into this storytelling mode where she's like saying the same. stuff over and over and over in a way to where she's like we're both kind of smiling and laughing and she gets a chuckle out of me so she just keeps going and runs the stories and questions into the ground to the point to where she's saying it's still possible to play for the yellow team daddy doesn't play anymore that it doesn't play anymore that was my past life he's done yeah have you seen the x-rays on the knee yeah you see in the back you know about the back sweetheart

I'm done. They can't play anymore. Very heartwarming, talking about like all the time that is just lost instantly. And I think it's from this comment, JJ sums it up quite nicely with this comment. I thought this was pretty heartfelt. PT-Sixer going on my third deployment. Recently, I found myself mounting my lioness, giving some of the best performance of my life, clapping cheeks so hard that my cheeks were clapping type shit.

All of a sudden, the enemy was behind friendly lines. My three-year-old daughter, Daddy, what are you doing? The secret assassin was in the room? Good. I had to think quick. We're playing a game. It's called belly flop. Bad.

And that's the first use of bad with the period. Fellas, if you get caught in action, don't say you're playing a game. I am now made up the game that is called belly flop that my daughter wants to play profusely preserve and overcome that comes from JJ sells houses on YouTube. I just thought that was pretty hard felt I wanted to shoot out after we were

talking about such sweet things. Good for that married couple, just feeling confident up to club cheeks midday. Well, the three-year-olds up and humming around. Just daddy mounting his lioness. That is poetry, JJ. That's poetry. Thank you.

Oh, my God, dude. That's funny. Yeah, I've never been in a close call with that. Usually you're trying to sneak in a quick mountain before you've got to go upstairs and wake them up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, you know, you get into the proper position. The next thing you know, you start hearing like, you know,

the wake-up noise and everything else and you're just thinking your head, got to get in it. Got to go. Got to go quick. So you're a morning guy at time. Yeah. Okay, I'm mostly a morning guy too. I'm glad we share that. Yeah. We switch every now and then. Oh, we do too. It just depends. I get that itch. Daddy got to get you. Come on. Come on. Sometimes Charles hit me with just in the morning. Alexa, set alarm for 4.30 a.m. And I promise, when that alarm goes off, it's like my eyes open up and that's the first thought of my head. Go time. Go time. Hey, honey.

Kids are waking up. Don't worry. Daddy's specialty. We'll make it quick. Quick and disappointing. Frodo. Tune into the podcast. Love the pod fellas. Names Ben. Big fan of Bustin with the boys and for the dad's pot. I got a funny story that you guys might like. It's a long one, so I hope it is. Nope. June 3rd, 2025, the day of your guys. guys's first episode. I remember waking up that day and seeing a video suggested on YouTube, clicking on it, seeing it was for the dads thinking, man, that's a great idea. I'll have to run these back when me and the old lady decided to start popping the little ones

out. I go about my day, taking the trash out, mowing the lawn, getting some work done, and my lady comes home from more complaining about being nauseous and feeling bled all day. I comfort her not thinking anything of it. Day turns in the night and we eat dinner and are contemplating whether or not late night ice cream run is the move or not. She is still complaining about feeling bad and says she is three days late on her time of the month. So me and the gober I am suggests, let's go get a pregnancy test and get some ice cream

and we can put your mind at ease and get a sweet treat. An hour later and seven positive pregnancy tests in, I found out I'm going to become a member of PT6 in March. Been watching the pod every week ever since. You guys help relieve the fears I have about becoming a father by reminding me what it's all about. Keep this going. You're doing all good. P.S.

If we could get some big and tall sizes in Bustin' with the boy store, for us, dads that are 65350 former offensive linemen, that would be sick. Great note. Great note and great story. Congratulations, Frodo. And for those at home, that's Frodoz spelled F-R-O-D-O-G-H. Yes, dough. Like what is used to make bread.

Yes. Or cookie dough. or cookie dough. Yes. Thank you, Ben. And congratulations to you guys. That's huge. That's, uh, it's like one of those things where like, what a sign that was.

Yeah. First time, seeing the episode going throughout the day. Oh, this will be fun. And then finding out, yo, I'm going to be in PT6. Yes, dude. And I love reading those comments. I've gotten just a handful of those here and there of like your first episode coincides with like when we found out that we were pregnant. So whenever I see like the episode come up of, let's say this week, week 14,

Listen, I got a stack here. We could sprinkling comments throughout the episode. We could do whatever. So this one is specifically fun because I love this idea. This comes from, this is off YouTube. This comes from Amelia White, 8130. New Milk Team 6 here, my husband and I, also new PT6 member to a two month old boy love the pod but please please have charo and jill design

some milk team six shirts i'm super jealous of my husband's papa bear shirt laughing emoji hand hard emoji hard emoji get on it willie one shelf and and knock off stafford i love that She didn't call me fat snapper. She called me knockoff. And if she's listening to herself, like, get on a Willie One Shelf. Let's, I have a resume here that says, I won't be getting on it anytime soon. Anytime soon. Anytime soon.

I love that idea. But I love the girls designing something for the girls. Yeah. I like how just the women, wives and moms out there have been just engaging with four of dads and PT6. I love that they're jealous. Because I've had a couple like, oh, you got your little cute. for the dad spot, friends of mine that are like badger me.

Oh, you're like, oh, you have it so rough. Like moms have it way worse than you. You know what I said? Please enlighten me. What did you say? I said, bitch. And you probably did say it because you're a guy for it. Something like that.

Yeah, yeah. I said something like that. But I'm thinking, look, dad life is just as hard. It's just as hard. And y'all know those videos of the Ashton guy where he's sprinting? I see y'all that meme of dads coming to tell you how hard it was to watch their wives give birth on the little hospital couch and it's just that action guy. I was laughing so hard.

We wish we could take that pain away. Yeah, we really do. I wish I could breastfeed. I wish that too. And if I could, I would, but I can. Give us the hormones. 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.

First people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. We were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down?

Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Hey, I'm Jared Adano.

just started to do we got it hard though yeah we got it way hard quit talking shit but immediately folded like a lawn shirt listen i'm aware yeah but dads need a space we do need a space they because y'all shut us up wait too fast they seem to be on our side will yeah yeah they seem to be they agreed they like this yeah good we're good yeah we're good listen we'll calm down and quiet down in the car trust us sweet are you got it you're making a lot of sense doesn't make sense to me right now, but you're probably making a lot of sense. Oh, you like my show and you want a mom shirt? Okay, good.

I'll stop talking about it. Sorry. Shout out the moms. Shout out the moms. We love you guys. We love you guys. I do have a question. Go ahead.

How are your systems and operations operating during football weekends? I had a pretty clean weekend. Something that I'd like to correct, it was week one football. Okay. Where it's full, you know, you're rolling out the operations. and first weekend of NFL in college. So it's like, got to watch ball on Saturday. Oh, honey, NFL starts this weekend.

Got to watch ball on Sunday somehow. My wife, they had a little bar three outing, a little team building at our winery on Saturday. So your boys got the kiddos at home. Timeline was real silent, real silent on the way I was operating on Saturday. I'm talking when six and two on my fan dual bets and was operating as a solo dad at home and it went quite well. Got to have some, some ball on. Then at times, Ruvian told me, Dad, Ev, I can't watch TV. You can't watch TV. All right. I had to get

at the old iPhone and just kind of have it quiet while I played hide and seek and stuff. As long as I could keep up with the scores, see what was happening. Huskers already won so the Hay was in the barn for your boy. Hay was in the barn. A nice little 68-0, sprinkled the cross. Yeah. And while mom was enjoying herself for six hours, down south at the winery in Franklin, shaking her ass upside down in a party bus. Dad was putting up numbies at home. Well deserved for trial. Very well deserved.

I was fired up for her. I was like, yeah. Listen, if I got to be in the mud on Saturday, like this good. Yeah, yeah. This is a test that I need. There's going to be zero complaining. You're not going to hear from me, sweetheart, one time, one time about where something is. Your boy can operate.

even with football on the TV. Yeah. And operate, we did. I'm talking Scotty took a good, long two-hour nap. Woke up a couple times, put herself back to sleep after crying for maybe a couple minutes. One time she fell asleep, like sitting up, like as she was whining, she like, she like fell asleep and then got a plopped over. It was adorable. She took a great nap, Ruhn and I had a great time playing hide and seek, doing some quiet time, nor she's doing some puzzles and things like that.

ended up taking him to the park around what four o'clock 345 oh nice part of that second slate of college ball wanted to watch it but hey let's get the kids out of the house yeah roo's been bored it's good for the kids to be bored every now and then that it needs to watch some ball balanced it all very well lunchtime was on point with the p b and j and some mac and cheese scotty was operated putting down the bottles left and right i'm talking puffs we had them ready to go for her little snack time. She's crawling around being a little missile.

But overall, great effort by the old man. You know I hate pat myself on the back. And you know I hate attention or else I would have been tweeting about it. Took every couple drafts saved. Everybody's real quiet. This isn't about me.

Let's laugh at Willie One show for not building a shelf, but you're all real quiet when I'm fucking operating with ball on the screen and watching a three-year-old and a nine-month-old. But it was a white, name out of that. Yeah.

Wife came home. Guess what? She walked in. What was happening when she walked in? Sherm. Go ahead and ask me. Oh, hey, Will, what was happening when Charlie walked in? Timer was going off. Alexa was going off for the 15-minute timer from heating up dinner. Warm plate, ready to go. Kids, ready to go. Oh, sweetheart, you're still a little, you're still a little tipsy from your party bus. That's okay. Sit down. Let me sever you up with this delicious meal. Yeah. As Alexa's going to. I'm like, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do. Do, do. Do, do. Do you have? Oh, yeah. Do you that again? Doong, do, do, do, do, do, do. Sweeto, let me get you some water. How's your day? Do you have a blast?

God, you look beautiful. Yeah, I would take you down right now if these kids were in front of us. But I can't. I'm a good dad, too. Yeah. I made dinner for you. Yeah. I'm a meat-it-up meal. Hope you're hungry. That's basically making dinner. Well, but all ready to go. All I'm saying, all ready to go.

Will I cannot stress this enough. I'm proud of you. Thanks, man. I am proud of you. because your other half of this show had maybe the worst display of husbandry slash fathery this past weekend. No shit. Oh yeah.

You said it was bad, but I don't know. It's like, hey, we don't want to talk until we're on the show. This is true. So I know nothing about your weekend. I take my podcaster, like I give advice here and there, you know, and have fun. I take that cap off this episode and I put on the learner cap and I need Coach Compton to come in. But let's just be Frank.

Okay. We might give bits and piece of advice, but nobody's figuring it out week in and week out. True. I'm telling you. Matter of fact, Scotty, dad loss, fell off the bottom stair and hit her head on my watch. That's because I was watching a two-minute drill. I think I was watching KU. Mizzou at the end of the game because it was a Barm burner. And I thought to myself, Scott Zill, she's going over by the stairs. Usually she goes up a

couple for I make my way over there and, you know, let her climb the entire flight of stairs. And I looked over and even thought that, give her a couple steps and I'll be over there. Yeah, yeah. And then she's on her back crying. And that's the first time my wife. My wife tunes in every week because she's got a know what's going on. Yes. And that's her first time hearing that it was, I wasn't over there because Mizu KU was on. And all that to say is, buddy, we fuck up. And there could be people be like, I can't believe this. We all fuck this up. We are not experts by any means. We're going to have nothing but bad moments as parents. And I, I appreciate you saying that.

I'm talking thump, buddy. I appreciate you saying that, but if there was a Richter scale of fuck uppery. I'm at like an 8.2. That was maybe a 2.6. But the guilt that floods through your body when I see her on her back and she's crying. Like Scotty, Scottzilla, she's tougher in a $2 steak at Waffle House. She is, baby. Come on. So seeing her cry and be upset like I felt low. Because I knew I saw her go over there. And I thought after this play, I'm going to go over and let her climb up versus just getting my ass up. I can still watch the play as I'm. Yeah. She wanted to sit back. I don't know what she was doing, but man, I heard that thump and

I'm telling Rue, hey, this is dad-ed 's fault. Don't tell your mother. I'll let me tell your mother. What did she say to that? Charo doesn't know that part either. Oh, okay. She's fine, and Charo, if you're a PT-6er. Yeah,

and she's probably shaking her head right now. Oh, yeah. But Charo, like, she's walking upstairs a change, and she's like, what's this lump on her head? Like, I see a bruise. But I think she was talking about the side of her head. I don't know where that came from. I think it's because she hit like the corner of the table like in the morning. You know, as they're like trying to stand up, she happened to be at like the corner of a table and kind of kind of hit it and she was

crying. Neither of us really saw it. But I was like, it's probably from when she hit her head. And then later in the day, I was like, hey, I just want you know, Scottie fell off the bottom step. And then, you know, that was more of like she felt the bottom step. She started to go climb. You know, Scott Zilla. She was a menace. I couldn't get over there in time. But now she looks great. Yeah. Now she's learning that ice. Yeah. Foot, yeah. You know how you were just saying how beautiful our daughter is? How she looks incredible.

Yeah. She did fall off the bottom snap earlier. Yeah. But she looks great. Yeah. So that's a dead loss of mine. But go ahead. I'm on the edge of my seat to hear about an all-time blunder in both arenas.

Dude. Okay. So really, I don't really have like a dad loss, a trenches, a crack of cold one. I do. but it's really all just one story. Listen, this show, you throw in crack a cold one. You can just say something positive, be like, that's my crack of cold.

That's my cracker. We're telling stories. We're talking about our experiences. So this is an all-encompassing. This is all-encompassing. Okay. We're back here again. I don't want to spread red ass.

We're back here again with you. We are, dude. Because I just had the conversation that I wasn't prioritizing my wife, and that was my dad lost. Yeah. You even given lessons and cried on this show about being better. Yeah. And you just topped your lows.

Topped it. Doubled, tripled, quadrupled down. All right. Let's get into it. On Saturday, the bears were taken on the ponies of SMU. Great game, by the way. Hell of a ball game. Hell of a ballgame.

That coincided the ending of that game with the pickup of my wife that I haven't seen in a week as well as my two-month-old daughter. That's right. They got back on Saturday. They landed at two. How was your week before you jump into that part? You had a good week solo, Dolo? Good week solo, Dolo, but I missed the girls. No question.

After a couple days, you kind of get bored. Yes. All jokes aside, like, you just kind of miss them. And then I just, like, I feel kind of guilty that I'm not there. And I'm seeing these photos that are coming in with Scarlett. And she's straight up, like, Jill's holding her against her chest. And her head is fully up looking at the. camera behind Jill and her eyes are real big and I'm like oh my god she's like so cognizant and knows what's going on she's growing up and dad as isn't there and I'm like worried that when

she gets home she's not even going to remember dad yeah yeah and I oh man I was just in a mental blender all week uh I missed the girls um but yeah I mean it was a good week it was a lot of fun like having pizza and wings and stuff around that house and I will say like if there was any dad win like the house looked awesome when Jill got back. Okay. That's a start. Only scrap that we could take. I did like three loads of laundry, got all the dishes done. The living room looked immaculate. There's moms listening. You did seven loads of laundry.

I did sorry. I did seven loads of laundry. Folded her laundry. That's a big one. That's a big one. Because I'll do her laundry, but I don't fold her laundry. I folded her laundry. put it on her side of the closet that is quite literally the only dad went that i have baler and s and you were playing their plan it's going in families landing family's landing it's going into overtime i have youtube tv as i'm walking into uh the airport i'm answering calls from jill her flight landed a little early so i was a little upset with that because i tried to get there early so i could park the car and help her she had a lot of check bags um and so i'm answering her calls hey i'm in baggage da-da-da-da and I'm still watching the game she walks through the doors I do a good job of

turning off the game I hug her I hold Scarlet I'm kissing Scarlet I'm kissing Jill I start tearing up because Scarlett looks twice the size of the last time I saw her and I'm like this is not okay get down the baggage claim then while we're waiting for the bags I say close game ranked us and you I got to watch this game I got to watch it honey I'm so sorry we have we have one hell of a comeback cooking. Dave Aranda might be the guy. I might be fully sold.

Sawyer Robertson, three 400-yard games in a row, babe. This is a big game. Dude, guys ain't. We're not shit, bro. We ain't shit. And she goes,

we go on. We go by. Favorite girls are home. Oh, yeah. Gotta watch the end. This has to watch the end of this game. Generational game. I'm with you.

Trust me. Oh, yeah, we're in a barn burning rail was cooking. Maybe you get this right. Here was the kicker. My group, and shout out the boys, they know who they are. My group from senior year of college has a face time going once we force overtime. I'm literally holding Scarlett in the airport on the face time going going nuts on the face time. Jill's like, what are you doing?

You're jerking her around. I'm like, babe, it's a big game. My back's over there. Okay. Oh, you're all. older. Well, slow down, slow down. You're like moving too fast. You know, I'm kind of operating in my own little world of like SMU Baylor, SMU Baylor. That's the priority. Sick him sicko. Sick him sicko. I go get her bags. We're rushing to the car and I'm like this the entire time,

just holding the phone. Get into the car. I did pick up her favorite meal from 51st deli. I had her little chicken salad sandwich ready for her. That's about the only dad win for the rest of the weekend. Now we get into the bad stuff. She goes, hey, I just got home from a trip and was flying with your daughter. I was solo for the first time. I would love to talk to you about it. But instead, you're driving like a maniac eating your 51st deli and trying to watch YouTube TV and you're not talking to me. Fair on all. Fair on all fronts. I said, honey, this is a really big football game. as soon as this game's over, I'm happy to talk with you.

She said, that's great, but I don't really feel like talking to you after this game, because if we just have this conversation about making me a priority, I don't feel like a priority right now, so I don't even want to talk after the game. This is the same stuff we just talked about.

So I swallowed that. I listened to the rest of the SMU Baylor game, and then it all comes to fruition, at the house when I just start to double down of essentially telling Jill that she was acting like a third grader by saying that she didn't want to talk. So it's not funny. Not funny, Jill. Not funny, Jill.

That she didn't want to talk to me. I said, I said some really choice stuff and it really went sideways for like no other reason than stuff that was going on with me that had nothing to do with Jill. but it literally turned into me being like I'm a nice guy to everybody I'm all sunshine and rainbows all the time I get walked over by everybody and you know what I'm going to start doing

what I want to fucking do this is what you say oh yeah I go you're always telling me to not put my feet up on the pillows on the sofa because you bought the sofa with your money and you don't want me treating the stuff like that tough shit you married me deal with it

and she has tears coming down her eyes. I say, you don't like it when my shoes are by the front door? I do. They're going to be by the front door and just went on this rampage. Like, I saw Red, and I let Jill have it. Jill's crying. I'm holding Scarlet, like, as I'm doing this. And then we just, like, didn't talk for maybe four to five hours. She goes to the bedroom. So I'm watching Scarlet all by myself and I'm saying there I'm going what what a complete jackass I am that I just one treated my wife like that that I haven't seen in a week and now I fully regret it because all I want to do is talk to her and hear how Scarlet was and hear how Jill's like early 30th birthday that she had with

her family was and as I'm feeding Scarlet I look down on her neck there's a tick on her neck which I like start freaking out because I don't know what to do with ticks but I know that ticks are like a very serious deal they're a bad deal you can get Lyme's disease all kinds of shit so I go wake up Jill she's super flustered she's already emotional from our conversation so she's flustered I'm I have a tone I'm telling her you know put her put her down on the bed we need tweezers Jill we got to get this thing off of her blah blah blah and we're looking at it up like next steps to do, I end up getting the tick off of Scarlet. I don't want to give like any health recommendations on here, but there's call a pediatrician, call, you know, whoever your doctor is, if you do find a tick on your kid. Thankfully, the tick that had been on Scarlett, it was less than 36 hours, which they say is when Lyme's disease and all that stuff can get contracted. But we get the tick off of her. Jill's frantic to the, then we think we're going to like run scarlet to the ER and she's carrying scarlet up the stairs.

Jill eats it on the stairs. Thankfully she covered Scarlet up so she didn't get hit, but Jill like eats it on the stairs. Then she's like double crying. But dude, it was terrible. It was awful. I don't know what else to say other than like it was the worst display of being there for my girl, being like loving and caring. Put my ego first,

just being pissed, reacting out of anger, instead of saying, hey, I did a really poor job of like prioritizing you when you landed. And I missed you like crazy. I just like unleashed on her.

It sucked. And then we really didn't talk until like Sunday night when we kind of like figured everything out. And even that was like, like kind of a argument chess match that ended up being a really good conversation at the end of it. But Jill and I never argue like that. I feel like I just let stuff from like outside of my sphere with my wife like affect me. And then I totally just lashed out on Jill.

The easiest and sweetest target that I could possibly find. And I'm just pissed at myself. I'm pissed. That's all right, buddy. It does. I mean, like, That story is, I would say, normal for every married couple out there with kids. Like, everybody has low moments like that.

Yeah. Like, remember the time I was telling you about Charles and I in New York? Yes. And the shit, like, you just say offhand stuff that you don't mean in the moment. Oh, yeah. Why do you think you lost it the way you did? Like, the stuff that you were, like, projecting. When you think back on it.

and when you guys did reconnect. Just too much stuff like pent up over time. Because I do try and like stay way too positive. And I don't like flush out or talk about things that are affecting me emotionally. And so I let it build to a pressure point. And then, you know, when Jill's like, I'm not going to talk to you, then I mouthed off and say, oh, great, my wife's home. And it took five seconds for her to be pissed at me. Shocker.

And then she's like, oh, Sherman's looking for a fight. because he never talks to me like that. Like, where did that come from? And I was just hitting her with so many of those, dude. I probably hit her with like, I don't know, easily like 10 lines that I'm just like, what was I doing? I was doubling and tripling down.

I was walking in circles in our living room, just monologue in, went out to the front yard, ripped all the weeds out, literally all the weeds, pissed. it's not good it's poor display dude bad day to be a raccoon

bad day to be a raccoon and so I like not only tell that story but I just apologize to PT6 as well because it's like you then hate that you have to go onto a podcast like there's no way that I couldn't tell that story

and like continue to be on this podcast or else I'd be an absolute phony if that makes sense yeah no it does because I'm sitting there Yeah, it's like when Charles hit me with the, you got this for the dad's pot and you can't take a couple minutes

to put up a shelf. That got the boy. Yes, dude. I'm sitting there that night and I'm just like, I know Jill's going to be watching this episode closer than any other episode. Wonder what he says.

Because if I come on here and go, oh, ho ho, P.C. Sagoog, like, she's going to be like, okay, buddy. That's not what happened. but just a huge bummer dude huge bummer okay so how did it come back around we had a really good conversation last night of basically getting our how the conversation start conversation started with me helping her around like picking things up in the living room and her saying we never really got to finish like what we were talking about on Saturday night what's going

on. I said, I just had a phone conversation that really pissed me off. And that's like totally separate of this podcast. It has nothing to do with like for the dad's bus in anything. It's just like personal stuff with me. You had just had a conversation that pissed you off. When she's asking you what's going on the last night. When she's asking like I don't want to talk about it. I'm just saying I'm not going to like talk about that. Right, right, right. But I'm saying when you're talking to your wife, are you saying that in a way like you're not wanting to talk about because you just had a bad phone call? No, I said, here's the deal. I just came off of this bad phone call that I think helps highlight what I think happened on Saturday.

I have a lot of stuff, a lot of pressures outside of our relationship with work, family, all this stuff that I'm letting it build too much. And I'm not expressing those stressors, those frustrations, those pain points that I have. I'm letting them build up. and I took it out all on you. And I feel terrible that I did that. I have some stuff that, like, I honestly need to talk about with you, that I need to do a better job of communicating with you. Because Jill made the great point of, like,

Sherman, if you had just told me at the airport that that football game was against a ranked opponent and it meant the world to you to watch it, I don't, like, you can watch your football game, but you just need to communicate that. And I was trying to tell you that in the car, and then you just took it to 12. And then all of a sudden we're talking about how people don't respect you and you feel like you get walked all over by everybody in your life. And it's like, what does that have to do about the SMU Baylor game?

Like, where did that come from? Like, that's crazy. And so getting that out and being able to like talk through that stuff, talk about the phone call that really frustrated me, talk about stuff in life. that's really frustrating me that I'm not doing a good job of prioritizing myself and prioritizing Jill, then Jill being allowed, creating a space where Jill then feels allowed to talk about her emotions. She feels safe in this environment because Sherman's not blown up on her. And she's able to say, hey, these are things that I'm going through postpartum. I just had a kid. I'm, you know, I feel like a stranger in my own body.

These are things that I'm dealing with. Conversations that like we've touched on surface level, but we've never really gone deeper in it. And really us just kind of saying like, you and I are a team and it never needs to be us going against each other. If anything, it needs to be conversations of how can I rally around you and help you in this situation? You're feeling this type of way.

how can I come in, feel that with you or go through that with you and help you out of that instead of, there's a great like therapist's word or like, what's it called when something's going on? You're projecting onto somebody. Like 100% was projecting onto Jill. And we hugged and kissed and like everything was really good from that conversation. And this morning, I'm just getting pictures. of scarlet and jill put scarlet in an outfit that i bought for i'm gonna tear up but you're just like

oh fuck like what was i doing like that's my teammate and i came at her like that that's crazy and just bummed me out so yeah that was my dad loss yeah i appreciate you uh sharing all that I feel like we're actually in a real conversation right now, which I think is a good thing. I think what you're sharing, I think a lot of people go through and feel. Yeah, man, when you reflect on thinking like what you could have done better, what you will do better moving forward,

a lot of it is communication. Like all of it. All of it is communication. Yeah. Because again, if she doesn't know you're going through that stuff, you're sharing that. I'm thinking, damn, I wish I would have been. know and you were going through some of this stuff because you are like happy go lucky like you're

shirm you're fat stafford yes you're bubbly yes but yeah it's a tough one bro it's a tough but as long as you learn from it and you know like some people don't ever learn it or see it or see that they're the problem or uh dig down enough or look at themselves in the mirror long enough to see like what is actually bothering me so i think it's important it's very good that you do see that stuff and you eventually got there. Yeah. Can I tell you honestly what's going through my head right now? Go ahead.

I've never wanted to buy jail a new couch more in my entire life. Yeah. That's the only thing that's going, that is literally going through my head is seeing my sweet wife with tears in her eyes. As I say, I'm going to put my feet up on the couch pillows as much as I want. If you have a problem with that, tough, you married me. I'm going to be doing it. and she's crying. He goes, that's not fair.

And I just walked out of the room. I was like, bro, I've never wanted to buy a new couch so much of my entire life. Yeah. What was I doing? Chef, I had a great metaphor. I kind of like tease some of this stuff with Chef before the pod. He was like, oh, man, y'all's football program ain't built on that, you know? And that's a ball talk.

That's Seaman Team 6 right there. That's just a rough week, man. You know, but we're one and O and we're moving on. to the next week. That's 0 and 1. That's 0 and 1. Or as he said, it was a rat poison win. Yeah, it's a win you squeak out in O-T against a bad, just a bad opponent.

And it's a win, but you get in that locker room, it doesn't feel like a win at all, even though things came out positive. And I'm glad that they did. And thank you for sharing, because I think everyone deals with that. Everybody deals with that, bro. It's not, it's not an anomaly. It is, like, it's good to see you gut check yourself like that. because you're a thousand percent right the way you're seeing it.

Coming off the handle like that, it's like, yeah, oh, snap. As it was getting more serious, I'm like, oh, shit. Like this is... Oh, I know. I was looking at your face. I'm like, am I over sharing on the spot? No, I don't think you are. Okay, good.

Like, I see it as like, oh, a real conversation. Like, that is a very nitty-gritty, detailed thing that you're sharing with everybody that 1,000 percent everybody goes through. And I think you being vulnerable enough to share those details. and talk about how low you felt in the things you actually said. I think it's very relatable to every human being. It's not like it's just dads or men that go, like this is everybody has low moments like that,

especially when they're not checking in with themselves a lot. Yes. My first thought, like, as you're saying, and you're coming to the end of some of the stuff, I'm thinking, so how did it end or I'm all, I'm going to say, like, how are you feeling now? Like, do you feel solid right now? Do you feel better right now?

Is this stuff off the field? Like, you know, A, I'm wondering how are you doing with that stuff? But B, if you are going through shit, and this is for both, this is for everybody, you got a partner. We do. It's like we talk about the standard of Pt6 and us wanting to be better. It's like you've got to share that stuff with your partner because they have no, they have no ability to help or even know what's going on and vice versa. Yeah.

And I think, and this is not an excuse, but I think something that. Jill and I came to the conclusion of because we have had a lot of conversations about how you and Charo operate, how it's very similar to how Jill and I operate where we're trying to have those discussions and deeper stuff of, you know, this is what's going on with me. But when you do have a newborn, I guess this could be the advice that comes from it. The newborn just kind of takes over like every second of every day. Yeah. And so those things just get pushed because I don't have time to think about that. I don't have time to process that or communicate that with Jill. Because Scarlett's crying again. We got to do this diaper change. And we got to and so you're like.

And mom's going through a lot too. Postpartum's a very real thing. Postpartum can last like up to, I think my wife was telling me up to a year, maybe two years. Yeah. Hell yeah. The lingering effect of postpartum. So they're going through stuff. So you like men like we want to stay to we want to stay put together. We want to stay strong. We want to be a leader. We don't want to put our bullshit. You know, when something, it's like, we got to take care of the kid. I don't want to, I don't want to feel like I'm being a burden to my wife. Like when I know she's going through stuff and this stuff seems kind of like I can handle it on my own until you can't. Then it comes out in such an offhand way. And then you're wondering how you got there.

And it all comes back to this communication and checking in with yourself and not only checking in with yourself, but making sure you have those times with your partner. Dude, it's it's a very hard balance. Like this is where it's like you got to give yourself some grace. I am happy that you guys had a conversation because that's all it really takes. Like I'm sitting there yesterday because Charo was gone for those, you know, doing the bar three day. And then I got to go stream at nighttime. Yeah. I'm like late getting to the stream because I'm just like, I don't want to leave her in the trenches doing both kiddos bedtime.

You know, when Michigan, when we were streaming the Michigan and Nebraska games. and then the next day she's working in the morning and when she was working in the morning I had the kids were set up Roo was doing something but I'm like literally making a Google Doc spreadsheet of every hour of every day and color coding everything

to see where my balance of work and family time because it feels like if you're somebody who is like a working parent which is the majority of people it's you feel like you're just being dad or mom

And then working. Or, you know, you were saying it last week. Like, you, at times you feel like roommates. Yeah. You're not having intentional time. Like yesterday, last week, I got child care set up and texted our, texted the sitter and was like, hey, can you come and watch the kids from 11 to 3? And Charo and I just like, fuck off, get out of the house.

I want to take her to lunch. You know, watch, you know, some NFL games, like connect. We went down on 12 South to this La La Coffee, which, by the way. Good coffee, but the longest lines fucking imaginable. I'm talking like Instagram. This is like a filtered spot.

Like 12 South, by the way, is booming. Booming. But you just have time and spend time together. Because it's hard to find those pockets of date night or let's go out to lunch or let's go get coffee or spend time with each other

and kind of have some conversations to where when we got done with those a few hours together, she gets home and talking like, you know, I kind of miss like just taking Root to the grocery store and it's just me and Rooh and we get something to cook later. I want to take her to this garden or this spot over in Nashville where you pick flowers and everything else. But in my opinion, if we don't have those intentional hours together,

when we pulled in the driveway, we're almost both ready to, hey, you take Roo and go this, like I'll watch Scotty. Like you're set up to kind of part ways, so to speak because we had like those intimate hours together to connect and a lot of times that's like all you need yeah so prioritizing those times with your wife to where you can talk about the things that's been on your mind or bothering you and just reconnect and uh in this busy life that we all have a lot like i just again just using yesterday's example i was so happy we did that just because when we got home it's not hey you're home we're all in the house we're all a family together we're all doing

everything together. I'm trying to watch Ball at times while watching the kids. She's trying to do her thing while watching the kids so where I got them a little bit more. And you're both still, there's something missing. And to me, it's like all that's missing. It's like the Sims character, like when they have to go to the bathroom or when something happens and they just start acting out of character because the meter's low. Yeah, yeah. All the, a lot of it is just, we just need some mom and dad time to where we are hanging out. We're, we get in the car, we get out of the car. We don't got to worry about the kid in the car. The kids in the car seat. I'll carry this. Do we have the backpack? Do we have the snack? Do we have everything we need to be optimal parents?

Are we going to the park today? What do we want to do with the kids? It's like, no, we pull up, we park, we get out of the car. It's us holding hands going to this Mexican bar to watch some games, have some brunch, go down to 12 South. We're walking together. She's like, I really want to go to Buck Mason. And I'm like, sweetheart, we're kind of, we only got about 30 minutes. We park kind of far away. How about this? I'll go get the car. You go to Buck Mason. Do you? your thing. I'll just pull around. I'll do take as much time as you can. You go shop, do your thing, but it's just me and her. Pro Mive. Doing it. Yeah. And it was, she got in the car. I said, by the way, you're welcome. Because the sun started, you know, it was a nice, it's been great weather.

Yeah, yeah. But it's where the sun is shining. And we were parked up a hill on Tulare South, like on the complete opposite end of Toil South. So my hamstrings are burning. I'm sweating a little bit as I'm driving to get her because we went all the way to Buck Mason. And then, a mile to walk to the car. We wouldn't have made in time. We would have had to be there for just for just a couple breasts. But she got in. I was like, hey, you're welcome, by the way.

And you probably had a couple, uh, will he watch out. What you building? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. PT6 is out there for sure. Got a couple.

Hey, go big red. I ran Akron out of the stadium. I would have made you proud when I was flying out to DFW last week. I forgot to say this on the pod. So much GBR in the air. for it and I yelled at every single one of them. Yeah, let's go. That does juice me out.

I would just tell them, hey, GBR and every single time, go Big Red. Hey, GBR, right back. Yeah. But again, all to say that connection time with your wife to where it's husband and wife, it's mom and dad, the friends who fell in love dating each other. To me, that's the biggest stressor, especially during football season with both of us being working people. Yeah.

her running her stuff she feels then again you just get caught up i feel like i work i feel like i'm dad i feel like i work i feel like i'm mom a lot of times it's just somebody for the love of god take the kids like just me and my wife go yeah and that's all it takes because then you feel like the battery's charged when you get home you're ready to accomplish i feel like the world bro yeah because you can't have that you can't have a week away if this was me and you one-on-one i'll just say it on the pot but this is me and you which is one-on-one. Because this has been a learning curve for me, especially when you're younger and things are new.

You have your first kid. You're married for the first time. You're picking up a lot more kind of like partnership responsibilities that dudes a lot of the time are dumb as shit and we're not aware of until you've got to like learn the hard way a little bit. Yes. Learn from mistakes. It's like my bread and butter.

But being so locked in on the, I know it was a big game, but you got to, yeah, it's like having the Rolodex. of right when you see them, you're embracing the girls, and you just tell her out of the gate. If that's the important thing, sweetheart, God, you look, you look so, you look so damn pretty Scarlet. She's gotten huge. You know I'm a sicko for the sick of bears. This game, we've come back

from my, what was it, 14 point deficit? Yeah, 17. 17 point deficit. All I've been, it pains me that I've had to sit by on the phone, hear you, you know, some problems that you might have with Scarlett. And you feel as a dad, you're sitting there eating wings and pizza kind of like, damn, I feel shit. Because life's nice for me right now, but you're carrying the dad guilt of like I kind of need to. I feel like I need to be in it with her. So there's this weird, there's this weird conversation going on in your head. But you almost, you're out front with it. You're anchoring it.

God, you look so amazing. Scarlet, she's growing. I truly, all I've wanted to do for the last four days, there's three. I kind of had a little fun. I won't lie. But for the last four days, I want nothing to know what's went on in your entire life the minute this game ends, I'm all leers. And if you tell me, look, it's like when we had the conversation a couple weeks ago, if you tell me to shut my fat ass up, it's gone. It's gone. I'll put this game down, but I just want to put that out there. I would love to finish this game and you got nothing

but my time after that. And I, again, let me triple down on this part. If you tell me, Sharm, shut up. I'm so excited to see you and I got to tell you about this weekend. The phone's gone. I don't care. I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out on Sports Center later.

That would have been like if I'm in your coach and no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. Don't do that. Stop, no, no. Stop doing that. Stop doing that. Phone down. Phone down.

No, no, no. The dune is on the belt. The luggage is here. Go get the luggage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh. Yeah, dude. And I will say this for like anybody listening to the podcast because I didn't like fully finish the tick story.

We like we called our pediatrician. We called Vanderbilt. We got a diagnosis and we followed the diagnosis. We have antibiotics for Scarlet. All that stuff. I didn't just want to leave that open ended of like, yo, Sherm's kid got bit by a tick and you didn't do anything about it. Yeah. You weren't the only one.

Rue had a tick on her. Really? We had a little outing at, uh, Tailgate Brewery. The parents kind of had like, they called it a tailgate. Parents had like a little tailgate where everybody kind of hangs out for Roo's school. And so we were out there. They're playing out in the woods and stuff. We're at a tick, but it was like, it was like drowning in the water.

So it was like it wasn't on or very tight. Okay. It was like in the bathtub. Yeah, that's exactly what happened with Scarlet. It was very light, got the tweezers and just you pull up towards the head and it makes them unlatch. Right. Because it's like the head can be dug in there to where they're latched on. You're like pulling it off and thank God.

It was like, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was a red tick, too. It was a deer tick, which is better. That's better. Okay. I have no clue. No.

I didn't either until I talked to the nurse. Yeah. We are not professionals. No, we are not professionals. Thank you for coaching me. Buddy, I was more just like, you're telling that story and I'm thinking to myself, how do I just sit in this thing with Sherman? more so just check how it all ended up and how you're doing currently.

Yeah, I'm doing well currently to answer that. You asked that earlier. I'm doing well. It's something that like very much I need to process with Jill, very much that I just need to be able to process with myself. And I do see a therapist week, biweekly. So does biweekly mean every two weeks? Byweekly. Yeah.

Or is that twice a week if it's biweekly? I feel like that's twice a week. Every other week. Every other week. Maybe. Is that what you're looking? No, bye weekly. Okay.

Leave it in the... Yeah. Could be both. And leave it in the comments. What is that right there is how you know we're not experts. I mount my wife biweekly. Because you're saying that, I'm thinking of my head, am I... Because there's also like, not I don't hate the friends, but you hate when you're like you're, uh,

unloading some of your personal stuff going on. And I've never been a fan of people that you should do this, you should do that. They're kind of, instead of like listening and kind of sitting in it with you a little bit and more like waiting for do you want, are you seeking any type of advice right now? Like people who give like unsolicited advice. Like when you're saying something, oh, you shouldn't do that. You got to do this. It's kind of like, buddy, you're not listening to me.

I'm not needing you to tell me what to do right now. Yeah. And you bring up a great point, something that I tried to keep him the back of my head because I had a boss that also brought this point up. But I always lead with the question. There you go, yeah. Because you kind of stopped there at the bottom part of the story. And I'm sitting here in my head is, is he wanting someone to me back now? I kind of just want to know how did it end up?

How are you doing now? That was good. You did a good job and be like, it's always that, dude. Is that where we are? Are you currently in Doghouse on pod right now? Yeah, yes, exactly. Do you need to call Jill on the sode? Yeah.

Lord. But, uh, yeah, thanks for talking that one out. I love you, bro. I love you. It's like I shot you the message last time. I miss you. I can't wait to do for the dads. Yeah, and I shot it back.

I said, miss you, BB, too much, BB. Yeah, you know, can we do this at, uh, can we shoot the pot at 2 p.m? I was like, I really need to get it done. At 12, was it 12, 15? Yeah, 12 15. Because I had a 2 o'clock that, you know, I had to punt the 2 o'clock. I didn't, I didn't see that. 100% was on that phone call probably when you text me.

You had a lot going on. A lot going on, but. Because when you hit me with the, hey, are you good to record it too? Like when we were at the shop the next day, I said I texted you back. Did you not look at the phone? Are you having a seizure? What's going on? And I didn't want to in that moment be like, yeah, I'm going through a lot.

Because like, yeah, I can check my text. I need to do a better job at that. Yeah. Thank you for sharing too, bro. Yeah, for sure. Good for Papa Team 6th. Listen, we're not all. Nobody out there's perfect big, though.

Hey, thank you for listening. Thank you for listening. And thank you for being there. And thank you for the listeners have kind of created a space to where I do feel challenged to be like, I got to share that on the pot. Yeah. or else like I'm just a fake phony that's like, hey, like and subscribe my podcast. We have funnier.

Yeah. You know? Fortunately, Jill didn't pull that one out on you. Oh, what do you mean? Do what Charles did with the Willie One shelf. Like, oh, you got this pod on the bracing the trenches. The phony meter was at an all-time high. If I'd have had a moment, if I'm, which those moments, I'm not going to say I'll never have those moments or I've never had those moments.

If she would have hit me with that, mid crash out, I don't know. And for all the milk team. I'm probably being a hotel or something. Oh, for sure. For all the Milk Team Sixers listening, I do want to take a moment to look at the camera and say, Jillybee and I love you and I'm very sorry. And no one in the entire world is deserving that, especially you. Like that, that just stinks.

I did that. Yeah. Stinks. I also want to say to Milk Team Sixers, there and wives tuning in if you're watching with your pop a team six member i do want to equip you by throwing this brain in their face if they're having some off moments it will piss for the pop pt sixers out there it will piss you off but no it's coming from a place of accountability oh yeah would you go on pt6 and be acting like that tell that story yeah

shout out the community creating a space safe enough for you to share yeah because the boys are going to rally around you yeah the moms it might even help the moms tell a story maybe and hopefully some some people in the comments are like that's not the fats that I know for sure it's not that's not the standard everybody knows that everybody knows it's not the standard check yourself sure I'm glad you're checking yourself but check yourself again

yeah and I love that learn from it learn from it pt sixers hello and welcome to another ad here on the show for the dads yes it is fat stafford doing the ads this week in willie one shelf's desk we're talking true classic and before we talk true classic um we're talking true classic when there is a date night with my wife jillie being a night and she will vouch this is a true story she usually likes me in a t-shirt that doesn't have any branding on it, something that looks casual but nice, something that I feel comfortable in, and every single time we're going out for a date night, she says, hey, Sherman, throw on one those shirts that you get at Busset, the ones that fit you really nice. I always have to remind her,

those are my true classic shirts. I'll go throw on a true classic. My wife's a big fan of them. I feel like everybody in the office is a big fan of the true classics. When we see each other wearing them, we're going, chef, are you hitting the bench? What's going on? You look massive. He's like, no, it's just my true classic shirt. Even Derek back there, if you want to look even spipier on date night and throw on a polo, Derek's rocking one of the pillows right now. Derek, give him a little Will Compton. Too good. Too good.

And you can look that good too. And here's the cool part. True Classic just launched a boys line. For the boy dad's out there, you can match. And honestly, it's way better than those awkward family photo outfits or even cheesy pajamas. You can match with your son. You get to show up together, feel comfortable, and actually look good doing it. The crazy thing is, True Classic has already sold over 25 million shirts to more than 5 million customers,

with over 200,000 five-star reviews. Online shoppers know, 250K 5-star reviews is a lot of 5-star reviews. So, I'm definitely not the only dad who has figured this out. I'm just lucky enough to be one of the dads that have figured it out. You can find them at Amazon Target, select Costco and Sam's Club locations, or you can head to trueclassic.com forward slash for the dads. That's trueclassic.com forward slash for the dads. Trust me, grab one, and you will thank me later.

You will legitimately thank me later. These are great fitting shirts. I wear them all the time. We're even getting into colder weather. I'm rocking a true classic hoodie right now. Go check it out, guys. Back to the episode. That's the biggest thing.

Learn from it. Know that, you know, it's bound to happen again. Hopefully you catch yourself in those moments. Yeah. But this is only a waste of time if you don't learn from it. 100%. I don't know. Dude, I brought up the tailgate and the tick thing.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. There was an older boy who bullied. Hold on. And I saw. Hold on. Yeah. Rue was part of the crew that he bullied. And I'll, you know, the boy's lucky that I didn't see the part on Rue.

I saw the part where he took the glasses off of like Rue's best friend. He was like going around and kind of like grabbing and shaking. There's like three of them. Shakes each one of them, runs around. I just hear, hey, stop. And I kind of like, I kind of like look down the hill. He runs over. Did I say the, uh, the, uh, the, uh,

girl's name? No, you did not. Okay, if I did, make sure to bleep that out. Yeah, you 100% didn't it. And then goes back to the girl Rue's friend. And I, once I hear, hey, stop. I kind of look back and the boy runs by again and grabs her glasses. And she's like, stop. And Rooz just kind of like standing there all shy. The kid ends up, say stop. And I was like, hey, and the kid ends up running up the hill. I think he still has a glass. I'm like, hey, buddy. He does. He didn't have the glass. He keeps running. The kids start crying a little bit. So I go over to them.

You know, the parents were all over. We're like calming them down and everything else. What happened? Blah, blah, blah. And, dude, I'm just boiling as like, did that shit just happen? I'm thinking, this is why we're going to do Brazilian jiu jitza. There's nothing that breaks your heart more than seeing bullying happen with the little kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because you know, they're just kids. Yeah. And this kid was old enough to know what he was doing. And at the kid, the boy at his age was old enough to know what he was doing. Are we talking like seven or eight? Yeah. Oh, wow. I think so, yeah.

He was older. Yeah, he was older. And Roos start, like, the other two kids, they're crying. Roo's not crying yet. And I'm walking over and I look at Rue. And I'm just like, I just kind of like shake my head. No, like, don't, you know, hey, it's okay. You don't need to start crying because the other's,

crying. I kind of like shake my head no. And um, like, you okay? And as I do that, and she starts like, you know, wintz and up and she starts crying. And so I pick her up and everything. I didn't, at that moment, I didn't know that he had shaken or bullied Rue. So I was kind of pissed for the other kid, the one that I saw the glasses come off of. And, um, I'm quiet. I'm low key trying to figure out who the kid, like, where the kid is. He like runs up. He's like, playing somewhere else or like see who the parents might be. Yeah, yeah. Not to go say nothing, there's just a, there's a multitude of conversations going on

in my head. Yeah. Like what would I have done had that been rude that I saw him do that to? Because, you know, not that I would have done anything, but you're also thinking, like, I don't know what I would do. Yeah. Because I started to like go towards a kid as he's running away when I was like, hey, buddy, because I thought he still had the glasses.

Why don't you give her glasses back to her? or like I again I don't know there's too many things that go on in my head yeah that fires you up as a parent in the moment we end up believing because there's like a meltdown and everything else oh we've been here a while like let's get the kids home scottie she's she's she's in her uh she can't like let her out because she's in like her she's in her shroller and there's like gravel and everything else that we're kind of on we go home and we get a text that it happened again with the kid and then something kind of goes down with the kid and the parent and it got awkward and weird and they kind of leave, but maybe the kids going,

maybe the kids projecting, who knows, who knows? But anyway, a bully, I witnessed a bully moment. I was kind of part of, and I did not know, it kind of had me not worked up, but it had me thinking about it like the rest of the evening. Those are truly like the two things that I think, like guys almost fantasize about is either like a home intruder

and what they would do, or if somebody was bullying their kid. Yeah. I'd love to see somebody come to my house. Yeah. Yeah. I love the piece of my house. If the kids mean to you,

that doesn't give you permission to be mean back to him. I mean, to where my line of thinking is like, I'll go with that for now. But everything's a little circumstantial. I'm like, Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Once we're in the A-Gab,

we don't know what's going to happen. Right. Like, yeah, if kids mean to you, it doesn't give you the right to be mean back, but we got to figure out a way to where you're not going to allow somebody to be mean to you. And I don't know what that is. Again, I'm very new. I'm learning at this stuff.

It's like it's one of those things where I'm very slow to speak because I don't have my thoughts in order and how I feel about it or what should actually be done or how I should be teaching through those things because I didn't really tell Rue a whole lot. Just making sure she's like, okay and everything else. But I'm sitting there like trying to figure out, yeah, like what if this does? does happen. What if I'm not there? What if this? What if that? How do I need to be coaching or teaching this or give her confidence to, you know, be a certain way? But, yeah, I witnessed the first bully. Oh, that gets me riled up. That gets me riled up. And fantasies of just sideline tackle

drill on this kid. Oh, oh. Just a great angle. Gronk trying to. And he's running across the border of the the woods they were playing in just boom way to the woods I truly envisioned you chasing down gronk to the sideline beating them to the sivine yeah I'm like not even knowing what to say

I'm over here like pinching my my fingers and stuff and moving my hands around because I'm like I know this is murky waters to be to be speaking on but who is the father he ain't listening to my podcast I can promise you that oh this is your boy

Boy? I just mocked on the sideline. Wait, never you did that. Come say something. I become the bully. Just an awful example in front of the kids. I'm gonna have a little duty through it too. Oh, good deal. Daddy was to come say something.

Meet me in the ring. Circle around, children. Turn on the headlights, pull the cars up. is how you want to die old man oh my god the dad just has no idea like what had happened it's just why those like patagonia best with like a coffee just chill dude

yeah yeah as soon as he finds out his son was being a little shithead he's like the poor kid you almost you're almost like hey you know praying to God the kid's gonna be alive I don't know if you guys ever seen that like you had a buddy who rightfully so the parents mad

and they're going home and you're like yeah A lot of times too, it's like, again, with being a young boy, like with the kid, they're kids. And if I'm the parent where Rue's the bully, I would want to be told because I would be pissed at Rue. Will is definitely one of the dads that like if I was, you know, like a friend of Ruse and I'm like hanging out with them and stuff,

like I would be on extra good behavior because Will is the dad that's there. Like I playing little league or like being around other dads at that age, there are certain dads that you're like, oh, just scared up. They just give off that vibe of like, do not set off Mr. blah, blah, not because they were a psychopath. I was going to be of fun. You are. But there will be respect.

There will be. Dude, I'm just telling you, like, guys are going to, when they start coming to the age and like, just knowing you and knowing your personality type, knowing maybe you played in the NFL for a little bit, they're going to be like, don't, don't mess around with Willie C. Yeah. That's a good thing. I feel like that's my mom and me too. My mom, she didn't play no shit, dude.

She didn't play no shit. If we were acting up in school, we were known as like hyper kids. Can I have will over? He's a little too hyper. But my mom did not mess around. She wanted real feedback for how her boys are being. Because if we were messing around in class, if we weren't up, you know, progress reports, if we weren't dialed in, like she wanted to do.

know not to blame it on anybody else other than the tan or ass at home. And not necessarily come from my mom. That'd be the old man. But it'd be a verbal lashing. Oh, yeah. Because she didn't mess around. That's good. That's a good thing.

Yeah. That's a good thing. Because part of me is sitting there and I'm like, it's not the kid's fault. It's not the parents' fault. Maybe it could be the parents' fault because the kids, like, whatever he's doing. But I'm sure the parents would be upset. It's like their kid is, it was doing X, Y, and Z. So don't get mad at the parents.

Again, there's so many things going on in your head that was going on in my head. Yeah, you can only control what you can control. I feel like you handled that situation very nicely. I mean, we just left. Yeah. It was more of just talking with Charo, like, oh, you want her to be nice to people who are being mean to her? I'd handle it a little bit differently, sweetheart. You know, we're kind of just like laughing and joking back and forth.

Like, sweet, that's why I want to get her into wrestling. That's why I want to get her into Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Because see a friend get picked on, we need her to handle that. Yeah, yeah. and she will she will be yeah she'll be a confidence nobody's bully in scottzilla i couldn't go ahead and he's scotzilla scotzilla my bullies of him yeah scotzilla you're going to be careful with her she's a menace bro a dad loss that i had is i have on here dad loss can't stop scotzilla from getting to the water bowl she's doing it again she she yeah yes what are you going to do what she's

able to walk. I mean, it's going to be a problem. Yeah. She'll start getting some more wherewithal of like not getting in the water bowl. Yeah. But I was taking a Tuesday the other day and I'm doing it with the door open because it's just me and the kiddos. Yeah. I hear that water bowl goes sideways in the pantry and I'm like, God damn, like wiping fast. Scotty, she's just in there. And she knows it too. Like part of me is like she knows what she's doing because once she's halfway there and I'm like, Scotty, don't you do? And she like, looks back me with like a little smirk. And then don't you do it?

And she starts kind of going. And then I start like run into the pantry. She hits that speed. She goes faster. She hits that speed that's on the video to get there. She hits that second gear. Yeah, she hits that second gear. She's 88 out the gate if I don't make that play.

Start digging that left toe. It's the left toe. And it's, you know where your like your house settles. You got to kind of like lift the door up for it to like latch or whatever. It's one of those where you shut the door, but she'll go and press on the door to it'll open back up. So I got to make sure it's like up and latched. If that she's, she's in there, bro. Scott Zilla's a minute. She's a menace. I cannot wait. She can't be contained, bro. I want to hang out with Scott Zilla so bad. Yeah, she's a beast. I want to see the lore and

the legend in person. Yeah. She wants me on the ground. She needs space. She needs, she's trying to climb on everything. She's just a happy little baby, bro. Very few things. She's like unbothered. I can't wait to see her. personality developed because I love how Rue when like you were in that little pillow for it that you built with there and you're oh the the you know monsters are outside of it blah blah blah we got to hide Scott Zilla's going to be like wait can we not go out there and go kill him yeah yeah yeah yeah Scottie is the type she's the type that when Rue is upset or crying Scotty laughs oh it's just start like just randomly clapping she's going to be a menace in a good way

yeah in a great way yeah I got a highlight tape loading. I don't think it's going to be any time soon just yeah. I need to capture a few more scenes. Okay. But of her just eating. Oh. She's being a minute on the table. She eat like her dad. Oh, she eats like her dad. Anything you put in front of her, gone. Yeah. She's quick. She's good, man. She's a stud. Oh, my God. But she's going to be a lot of fun. But she's, she's very unbothered. And it's awesome. She's a stud. I love it. And since we're coming up on an hour, I thought that I would kick it to you. Coming up, we got to keep it under. I know.

That's what I'm saying. We're coming up to an hour. So I was going to move it to what are the odds. Hit the what are the odds and we can hit our couple of dad hacks. We can get it into calls, get in the call ends. And probably be out under an hour. Lesson. A lot of time for it to keep that under an hour.

Yeah. I think we can do that. Okay. We're at 25 minutes. 25. Hey, this has been fun today. I want to say again, thank you for sharing all that stuff earlier. Yeah, dude.

Well, and this has been fun today because like it feels good too. be able to have a place where I could talk about that coincides with like a podcast that I'm on. I'm pretty fortunate and lucky to be able to do that. So, uh, thank you guys. Hey, before you get into the one of the odds, I want to shout out Camden Stevens, who left a comment on Instagram. Will Shirm, Chef Derek. What a pod, boys. I myself am a 20 year old guy from the great state of Iowa, 20 years. This is a Goon Beret we're talking about. Fuck the Hawkeyes, Will, Iowa State fan.

You reminded me of a comment that I wanted to make sure I read. This comes from Mutsa 8. Shout out Aaron. She was our caller last week that called in about being close with her dad. But shout out Aaron.

As someone with no kids, but I've always said, if I did, I'd want to be a girl dad. To hear your appreciation for your dad is the exact reason I want to be a girl dad. Damn it. Two weeks in a row, you got the boy's eyes watering. Love to you, Aaron, and love to you guys. I just love that he was shouting out one of our call-ins. It was a great call-in. People love that call-in, bro.

That calling was so good. Go ahead. I do want to say, we received an update from her. We've been texting with her. She's going to send us a reaction video of her father when the shirt comes in and of him watching the episode because he watches with her. So she's been saving that segment of the show to record and send in. So hopefully we get that video of reaction of the father, seeing the story be told in real time.

Dude, that's cool. Derek's over there just Do do do do Operating. Operating. Derek. I was going to say demon, but we already got a demon.

I know. Well, it'll come. Yeah, it'll come. They call him Deak. They call him Deke. They call him Deke or he calls him Deak.

No, they earned it by starting varsity as a freshman in high school. On the ice? Soccer. Soccer. I don't know how that correlates to Deke, but it's there.

Okay. Well, we'll see. Maybe the comments might have a good nickname for you. I'm very scared of that. Maybe we let pop a team six take a crack at Derek would love that. That would be fun. That would be fun. And one really quick last one,

Stephen, who has been in our comments a lot lately. He was one of our very first call-ins. We had a mishap with the shipping. We had to reship. He was in our stream the other night. He was the one saying, Hey, guys, have y'all sent my stuff out?

Got confirmation this morning. Stephen has his merch. Way to go, Stephen. Way to go, Stephen. Let's go. Okay, what are the odds? This week's, what are the odds? Shoutout.

Fanduel comes from Twitter. And it comes from Mike Green Walsh. Mike Green Walsh on Twitter. Still catching up on the pod. Just heard your hardball story. Here's mine. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what?

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

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

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. The story I've told myself about love or relationships, can then shape my behavior, and that can lead me to sabotage the possibility of connection.

that's sick what are the odds that this state champion baseball team hadn't been there for 60 years hadn't been there for 60 years goes and gets it done and a very small small part of that trip. For Sherman Young's. He was saying this happened in 2013. I thought it just happened. And he's playing you breaking down hardball. I'm the man.

I got those kids to stay. I did not get those kids to stay. But the movie Hardboy, he was just saying, hey, I get what you mean tearing up. Powerful movie. It got my kids to stay. Okay. Following.

Yeah, yeah. What are the odds at like a movie? could inspire a team. You know how the brain sputters. You know how my brain sputters. I set it on buss and you know, it's like sometimes my brain in, it's like a lawnmower with last year's gas in it.

It takes a second to get going in the new season. You got to rip it a few times. Is the choke on? Do you have the choke on? I thought I hit it three times. Let me hit it a few more. Now you're flooding it. Right.

Yeah, now you're flooding. Gotcha. Oh, we got it. We got it. Yeah. Turn the choke off. But yeah, that was our. what are the odds do we want to go you did your survival kit correct or your dad my survival kit is bent go

lunch boxes great lunchbox to have in the fridge it's got you'll open it up if you go to bent go dot com and again no free shoutouts this is not a sponsor of the show we love for them to be a sponsor of the show b-en t-g-o bent-go lunch boxes but you got this little you open up the box and it's got its little it's got its plate where it's divided up right Right. Underneath it is this layer that you can have in the freezer so then you can put the layer underneath and it keeps your lunchbox fresh, cold, ready to go. So what we use for Rue? This is sick. They're good.

They are good. And they have a variety too. It's not just like the refrigerated, like it's got the little layer underneath. They got a variety of lunch boxes. Very good, very high quality lunch boxes. Again, no free shoutouts. Would love for Benco to be a sponsor of the show. I'm sure, Chef, we'll probably pull up an image, but there's an image of the Bingo.

Yeah. Because I tell you what, packing the lunch is hard, bro. It's not hard. It's just, I feel like options are kind of limited, especially if you don't have or the layer where it keeps it fresh, keeps it cold. So, like, for example, I pack a lunch. Like, I'll make breakfast, kind of packer lunch. The go-to's a P.B&J.

Slice it up so it can kind of fit in there. You can fit it nice and neat towards, like, you know, little bars of peanut butter jelly sandwiches. Oh, I like the bars. And then cucumbers. Oh, okay. The uncured pepperonies, the little pepperoni slices. She loves pepennonones.

She loves peppononones. Pepinones. Pepinones. She loves peppononones. Drop a peppononi down in the comments if you're a real one. Yeah, drop peppononi down in the comments. And then what? Maybe some like cheddar fish or an applesauce.

They'll have to kind of open up for her and then kind of barely click it so that way she's strong enough to get it open. I like containers like that because it does. One issue I have with myself eating wise is just portion control and I feel like lunchboxes like that do a really good job. Yes, 100%. Of like this is an adequate amount of food for my child. I have filled it. We are good. Yeah.

Yeah. But that's my survival kit. In my dad hack stuff, I kind of talked about it earlier. I have my dad hacks talking colors and bad guys with my daughter about football. Like who's the bad guy here? Akron's the bad guy. Iowa State. Iowa's the bad guy.

Dad has got some money on them to cover, but we just need them to lose by two or three. And by the way, Rue, you're not allowed to go to Iowa. They reached out to me and said that they don't like you personally. Yeah. Bad people go to that school. He said Roo Compton can't come here. because they're her dad-d-d-d-as and we hate his dad-d-ass

so I guess you gotta hate them yeah you know how you're scared of Tefidi the mean version at first before she gets the heart back and becomes the good person again Tefeiti went to Iowa the mask went to Iowa

Jafar went to Iowa the Grinch went to Iowa Oh no the bad guys go to Iowa Oh no she's gonna that's Elsa went to Nebraska And so did her sister Anna. You know who didn't?

Who's the prince in the first movie? Oh, I forget his name. But he went to Iowa. Big Hawkeye. That's a huge Hawkeye. He was a punter for him. And I knew right out of the gate in that movie when he started to go and started to... Hans. Yeah. Hans. Is it Hans?

Right when I saw Hans, I was like, that's a Hawkeye. That's a Hawkeye. We don't marry Hawkeyes. We don't go to Iowa. Start him young. Yeah, start him young. that hey i i like i just talk to that because that is legitimately what i'm going to start using just anything that you don't want her to like i have joked about like calling like taking a two ski different stuff there's a guy in a fancy football league that we have this like fake rivalry for years and we were texting before this season i told him i was going to tell my daughter that

uh taking a shit was called taking a gorbi which is his nickname. Ah, nice. I thought that would be a fun little prank double on him. Yeah. You're going to drop a gorby? You make a little goreby, gorp?

Uh-oh. My survival kit is a snot sucker. Those are so huge, dude. And Jill is a machine with that thing. Because I think they, oh, yeah.

Well, she has the ball one. And, dude, I wish you could watch Jill Young operate with the little ball one. where you like squeeze it and she plugs the other nostril and she gets in there. I guess they do it at the hospital. So she's like, it's crazy watching her get that snod out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's, it's, you feel like you're torturing them. You do. You do. But to any new parents, like when you are hearing your baby cry and they sound like a pig, and they kind of got the like in between cries, that is a telltale sign that, hey, maybe they're having a little, you know, trouble when they're on their passy. They're trying to breathe through their nose. There's some snod up there.

And there's some discomfort. And so they're letting you know, I can't breathe through my freaking nose right now. What's going on? And Jill will go in and clean out the schnauz and it's money every time. I love that. I'm manual. To me, got to one where I get to take control. Well, and that one's a big one.

Like, I feel like majority of people have the, you know the actual snot sucker yeah so get whichever one you want but it is great thing to have great thing to don't just use the bulb it's not to me it's not good enough not not the bulb on the snotsucker but if you just got a bulb that you're trying to put in their nostril yes to me it's we haven't had we never had great luck with those and i feel like they're not doing it's it's it's not long enough it's not doing enough damage yes and when i'm doing it i can't get anything out but when jill's doing it and she's hitting the angles she like gets it first try almost every time It's kind of nice for you, too, because you just know wife he's going to do it.

Yeah. So you don't have to be the one. She's really crying. Yeah, what's mama doing? Yeah, what's she doing? Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Don't worry.

I'll pick you up. You know who doesn't do that, da-da? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Say da-da-da. And then Dad Hack is Duna Stroller bag. If you were flying and you want to bring your Duna base with you, the Duna car seat, you could put the Duna base and the stroller. in this duna bag.

But let's say you're, hey, Sherman, I actually like flying with my duna because it's a stroller. I keep the kiddo in the stroller and I bring the stroller onto the plane. Great. Just put your duna base into the duna bag and pack it up with any of your shirts,

pants, all of your luggage that you're going to be packing. It's a cheat code, dude. It's like an extra suitcase that's like a total utility piece in your set where If you're using it for the Duna Base and the Duna Stroller, it's great for that. If you're keeping the stroller out on the flight, you can squeeze some other stuff in there too.

Great, dad hack. Make sure you don't get too far away from that mic. Look at you. Look at me. Played myself again. Hey, was I on the mic when I was talking now? I believe so. I caught it when you did this whole, you were leaned back and then coming in.

And I was like, hopefully he hasn't. I hadn't seen it before that, but I kind of, I don't know. I got to quit doing that. Yeah, at least just have it set up to where it's like, what is it called? Perpendicular. Yeah, perpendicular. Parallel. Or what we could do, we could get a boom mic just right here for when I.

Yeah. But what I'm saying is like right now, right now you're like a 45 degree angle. Oh, so you're meaning like this? Swing it around. There you go. Look at that. Is that good? Yeah.

Am I podcasting now? I think so because he doesn't have the ears on, so I don't know if he knows. No, I mean, we pick it up a lot. It was more from the episode, two episodes ago when you were doing your story. It was you guys, you were just leaning back a lot. So you're back here and talking to, but you're just talking to Will. You're not even thinking about the mic. Yeah.

So it was just, we got some comments on it. And honestly, like post-production, I probably could have fixed it too. But I just didn't real. for all the people that say we don't have it loud enough that's on me i'm trying to figure out how to do without technical stuff like uh overstretching the mics but uh i have headphones on when i hit the episodes and i kind of have to remind myself not to have my volume loud because i'm a chronic like high volume listener to everything so we're working on it but yeah working on we're getting better that's seaman teams that's team six is captain right there i couldn't love them

more him just taking accountability where he didn't have to at all. He didn't have to at all. But hey, he's a man of the people. Popp 36 wants to hear from him. When I forgot to hit record with the recording thing right here, it was the first person to raise their hand

and say it was his fault. Yeah. This guy. Chef, you're the man. You're the man. Thank you. And Derek, you are too. He is the man, though.

Let's do it. First, voicemail. Here we go. This? Jeff, expecting dad here, man. I'm so excited. My wife and I have been waiting a long time.

We tried for about seven months, and we finally found out we were pregnant on this past Mother's Day. She's due in January, boys, and I'm just getting ready. Man, I'm already clocking in. Dad wins. Sadly, my wife's dad passed away when she was 11, so she didn't get to really experience that dad time. But her dad had an older climber, and we were thrown away a bunch of stuff about a year ago, and I snagged it.

I stripped that material down, and I made a bear for our daughter, Amelia. And I gave it to her a couple nights ago, and she said, She's so excited. And I've already got her on the show, boy, she's saying good to everything. Everything that comes up, she says, good. I couldn't be happier. But, man, I know my wife's going to be, she's going to be the best mom. She's really the strongest person I know.

I was in the Marine Corps, and I suffered from a traumatic brain injury, and she took care of me. She brought me back to live boys, and I'm excited to get to do this journey with her. And I appreciate everything you boys are doing. We love the show. Keep it up. More is my heart, buddy. Shout out to them.

Congratulations. Number one, thank you for your service. I'm also very sorry that your wife lost her dad at 11. Tell you what, the waterworks can, they come much easier on this goddamn. show. I love the move of taking the old furniture and making a bear out of it. I know when you sons of bitches on PT6, man. I know when I lost my mom before Roos born.

A friend of ours took an old dress of hers. and look at Pat Stafford over there we're all croaking a good friend of ours made a and made a teddy bear like out of one of her old dresses it sits in Rue's room

and I'll take one I'm happy for you guys I'm fired up and God you are right over there you're like God oh no I know, man.

It's like all those things, just tug on the heartstrings because life is precious and life is also fucking awesome. And there's a lot to look forward to. And I don't know. Now I'm just talking. Now I'm just rambling to keep myself from looking at shrimp and crying even more on my end. But I'm fired up for you guys. Thank you for calling in. That gasses me up.

It sounds like your wife is going to get to. experience an incredible father because you just having the having the intention of making that goddamn bear out of the old furniture is next level bro that's PT6 right there

You're going to be an incredible dad. Thank you for calling in. Send them like triple of whatever we send people. Send him triple. Send him triple. Make another teddy bear. Make another like the PT6 merch. Oh my God.

We got to get some some more boy dad call-ins like that. I love the boy dad's. Just some boy-dad energy. Yes. All right. Last call here. This one's titled The Rocking Horse Accident. I love that you titled these. Love it.

Hey, well, hey, Sheram. Hey, everybody. Been a big fan with both with the boys for years and years now. I love the new podcast. I just wanted to give you guys a quick story to maybe make you laugh a little bit, maybe make, you know, me to get over my crying. Wife went to work. She works at a part-time job in retail sometimes just to, you know, get some extra money and all that.

Well, both girls came down with a stomach bug and sent his mom left. And let's say about two, two and a half hours, each girl had pooped. themselves seven to eight times between them. The culmination of that ended with our youngest who is about one and a half who hates diapers somehow got her pants off, got her diaper off, sat on her rocking floors, and then proceeded to poop all over the rocking points. Yeah, it was a disaster, but guess what? We came up. We came up. on the other side. We're all good.

The curls are great. And I love them more than ever from that crazy story. Thanks for all you guys do for everybody. And have a good one. Oh, good. Shit some more, girls. They let you watch the show. Shit some more.

Is that all you got? They for sure not watching the show. He says poop. So you know, it's like, oh, turn this off. They're probably in the background. still shit. What are you watching? The youngest

naked doesn't have the diaper on again. Dude, by the way, I had a DM that came in to this guy's exact story of, you know, full paragraph, essentially the same issue kid had a dirty diaper.

He actually sent a video that we will not show, but quite literally he's holding his daughter dying laughing and it's coming up out of the top of the diaper just going on the floor. And he's just like, what do I do with this? I mean, what do I do?

And his wife is filming it, and they're both like giggling. But I was like, I've never seen that before where it's so loaded. It's coming out of the top. And what a psycho, too, just having that poison composure. I'd be puking. You got to deal with this. Call the cops. Get the ambulance.

The baby's face in the video is just kind of like, uh, she's loving life. She's having a great day. Nothing. You talk about full panic and it's blowouts, bro. Oh, yeah. I'm a lot better in the pocket now than I was.

But when Rue had her first blowout, it was like on a car ride home and I'm thinking, my wife's going, you know, she's like, you know, we got to fix a blowout. And I'm literally like this. Like, what do you want me to do? I ain't touching that. Where do we start? You know, I got a gag reflex? It is. It is.

The soak through is the one that's been getting me lately, where it just secretly soaks through, like, out of the bottom of the diaper. And you're just holding up. And all of a sudden, you're kind of like, oh, you had a little tuti? You have a little too? And then you feel the warmth about right there underneath your back. Or you go for the switch. And as you go for the switch or might, like, adjust your hat or something, you kind of smell.

You smell the whiff on your forearm. And you're like, oh, shit. How do I kind of place her somewhere to where mom comes across her. And she's like, oh, you boot your diaper. She shoot her diaper. I just changed her not too long ago to kind of let mom know, hey, now it's your turn. You see the optics there? You see the optics.

What? She shit her diaper again. Are you kidding me? You should have seen the blowout. I just dealt with. Oh, my God. I was just holding her, too. It was clean.

I didn't even smell it. I'm in the doghouse for at least the next. three weeks. I can't be, I can't be implementing any of this stuff. I'm going to be changing every diaper. Topic quote lesson of the week. I found one on, you guessed it, Instagram. This actually comes from a big resource of ours, the Daily Dad. There's a video too that I want to play, but I didn't know if it's like a copyright thing if we use somebody else's video on Instagram. but it's like these dads sitting around a campfire and these are like good old boys like cowboys

and he's saying how he's got a couple kiddos and what advice do you have? And this guy, like I wouldn't want to regurgitate his words because he has such a great Western cowboy voice kind of like Sam Elliott. Ooh. And he kind of talks about it. Like he talks about parenting is kind of like riding horses

or like being a horse, whatever it is. Yeah. It talks about like it's like a bar of soap. too loose, they slip out and get away from you. Too tight, slip out and get away from me. And he has this incredible analogy that I would love to play for the audience. And maybe it's just a UCG that we use on for the dads. But I think this video is just incredible, the breakdown around the campfire.

I'll look into it, Will. If anything, we can throw it in now. Maybe we throw it in credits, if it's possible, I don't. I'll have to look it up. Either way, this is one to share on social media. because this video is all time. He just talks about if you're like non-existent, you lose them, this and that.

And if you're too strict, too much of a disciplinarian, it'll push them away and how to love them within the boundaries. It's a great video. Is the page that you found, is that the OG poster of it? I don't think so, no. Oh, okay.

Because I was going to say we could just find the person that originally put it up and asked for their permission. Yeah, give credit to them, ask for their permission. The other thing, too, is we can look into that. so when the episode drops, we can have this go up on the socials around the same time so that people can go to the socials and see the video as well. That's a great point.

We can dig into it. We got possibilities. Derek. I probably shouldn't play it. Should I? We'll do a different one because that's a banger video. I came across this post from The Daily Dad, their Instagram. And it seems like it's in the book, one of their books, because I'm,

I have the Daily Dead at the house. This doesn't seem like this kind of format, but it's like a lesson or something 74. River of Change. The child you see today will not be here tomorrow. The child arriving home from school is different from the one who left home. Let me say that again. Let me do that.

Papadine 6, bear with me. Week one. You know, yeah. Reverse. Rewind. Maybe edit out, Jeff. I don't know. River of change.

The child you see today will not. be here tomorrow. The child arriving home from school is different from the one who left from home this morning. Every moment is a death of all that has gone before and a birth of all that is to come. You must jump into the river and let it carry you on its journey. If you try to stop it, you will drown. Deep. Love that. And that's from the Daily Dad, correct? That's from the Daily Dad. Can I follow up that lesson from the Daily Dab with a cool comment that I think it will really enjoy? Absolutely. This comes from Colorado Alex 2 on YouTube.

He said, love the vulnerability this week from all the boys. Love that the PT6 community is a safe place for all of us dads to share and learn from each other. Also, huge, in all caps, shout out to Willie One Shelf on a survival kit slash dad hack that I actually followed up on. not a huge reader but ended up buying a copy of the daily dad oh yeah i read a page every day when i wake up and my wife has even started showing interests and has me read it out loud to her each day it's become a nice way to start the day and brings us closer at the same time would highly recommend this book uh to all pt sixers i love that it fires me up because that's exactly like him saying he reads in the morning um ours we do it at the dinner table but it is it's like

You and your wife sit there and talk about stuff or I read it out loud and she'd be like, I like that one. Here's why I like that one. Or you kind of just communicate, get rude attentive. You know, I stop messing around, stop playing with your food. Dad is about to read. Come on. But I love that. That fires me up.

That fires me up to you. I have one that I think that I want to hold on to you. Every moment is a death of all that is gone before. Sorry, I'm stuck on that. stuck on that daily dad post. That was a great quote. And the soap of the ranch hand or the cowboy that you're talking about. Yeah.

Hey, you'll love that. I'll shoot that one to you. That's a really good one. It's one I want it just ingrained in my head for, you know, for whoever we're ever talking ball with some dads. If somebody hits you on the spot with advice, it's like that right there is a great one.

Dude, the horse stuff is really cool. I have an aunt that actually works with like equine therapy. and just like the humans like attachment to horses and like the lessons that you can learn through training them working with them and they actually help a ton with people that suffer from eating disorders like feeding horses is like one of the best ways to like cure eating disorders which is so interesting and you're a texas boy oh come on come on now i didn't own any horses but i did grow up i I can hop on a horse and look like I know what I'm doing. That's all you need.

I'm no cowboy, sir. No cowboy. Do we feel good? Great sode. Great sode, man. I feel like there needs to be a clip where it's just our more so reaction to the video of us like crying back and forth. Not a lot of words said, just tears. I'll have to tune in.

Oh, for the trailer? Not trailer, but just like a clip. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It could be me and you posting it. That's true. do like that. I do like that. I literally lost it. Like I've never lost it. I mean, that was. Yeah, you were in kind of a different form that I wasn't expecting to see, especially when you sit right there. He used the onesie. Look, there's like actual like wet marks on. There's a

bugger right there. I mean, that's your beat red too. Like trying to fight it, couldn't fight it. Well, I'm sitting there. I'm like, I'm yelling at my wife and this guy's making a chair out of her. I mean, I'm just like, what a bum I am. That's why I hit me. that hard. I was just like, I'm such a bum. I feel that. Because I want to do that for my girl. Like, that's how I want to make my girl feel. That's why it hit me so hard. And low key, that's a dad hack that he just dropped on that phone call. What a dad. I kind of want to follow up with them DM wise and be like, yo, how did you make that teddy bag? Yeah. Yeah, buddy. Sick. Buddy. Buddy. All right, we love you guys. Take out the trash now.
