This show isn’t about expert advice and how fatherhood is the greatest thing on earth—it’s about embracing the love and suck of parenthood every day. From balancing work and family to battling the mental load, fears, and the moments that wreck you in the best way, we dive into it all with honesty, vulnerability, and a sense of humor. Cause at the end of the day... us dads have no idea what we're doing. Alongside Will is his producer Sherman Young, a recently new father who’s currently deep in the trenches of Fatherhood and loving every minute of it. Together, they’ll break down everything that can go right and wrong (...usually wrong) when you bring tiny humans into this world. Expect funny parenting stories, laughs, call-ins, advice, weekly themes, and the kind of conversations you’d have over a cold beer in the garage. Whether you’re raising teens or still Googling “how to install a car seat”, For the Dads is the ultimate podcast for dads who are in it, about to be in it, or just trying to do their best while screwing it up along the way. ----- FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram:   / Forthedadspod  Twitter:   / Forthedadspod Facebook:   / Forthedadspod TikTok: / Forthedadspod LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Liquid IV - Go to https://www.liquid-iv.com/ and get 20% off your first order with code Bussin at checkout.  Wayfair - Get organized, refreshed, and ready for the holidays for way less.

just watching For the Dads on Thanksgiving? Oh dear. Maybe a game gets so far away. It's like, all right, this game's kind of boring. Is there something else we can watch right now? And you're watching, you're tuned in to the For the Dad's Pod with the entire family. If there is a family out there doing that,

for the love of God, take a photo, posted on social media and tag us so we can see it. Maybe someone brought it. up politics or religion too fast into the evening. And the family has split. And you're thinking, you're sitting there going, what could bring us all together? What could save the day?

You know what? Temperatures are too high right now. Like, let's just throw on for the dads. These guys love to laugh. Maybe we can laugh a little bit together. The same family Thanksgiving. Hey, look at these bozos. Look at these goofballs. I'll tell you what, though. PT6 has been out there with the olipop. Gulli pop a drink six.

I mean, Ollie Pop sent. a shipment to Adam. Yeah. He's at there running a video with crisp apple and classic grape. Shout out the boy Adam on the front lines with Papa Team 6, man. They put him on OliPops.

Like all of his, all the socials, everything, they collabed with them. Like, he's not even a content guy. He's just a dad out there. I was able to shoot him.

So we had to obviously get him as merch from the show because when you call into the show, you do get merch. And so texted him that link. And his text back to the phone. Started with this may be automated, but I'm still sending this text, which they're not automated, but he was like,

this has been the funniest, like, moment of my life. Like, you guys reposting the clip was the highlight of my week. Like, look how sick this is. The nicest guy. And then every comment underneath his Oli Pop video was, he looks exactly how he sounds, which is hilarious. So some P.T. Cinco's found his video. We're in the comments.

Well, they found, so Oli Pop had found him in a tweet because he came out and said, I am. Oh, that's right. So Oliop found him, and then people underneath. And then when he posted his video and Olipop went off, people were like, yeah, that is him. Like when I heard his voice, I envisioned to that person. That's Adam from For the Dad's podcast is what they were saying.

That's hilarious. It fired me up. Let's get into, look, big weekends for us. Yes. Right now, again, we're doing this episode on Tuesday. Yep. After two episodes of the locker room, college football and NFL, you can check that out on the bus with the boys channel. We did bust with the boys and college football recap, NFL recap.

The boys were in it right now. We're in the mud. Good. Yeah, good. We're a little worn down right now. Good. We have some good stories here from Shirm. He traveled over the weekend.

It was on the runway for a couple hours, few hours, several hours. Sick household at the Compton with the Compton family. That's right. Gru throwing up on us in the middle of the night. We'll get to a couple of these stories, but let's kick off with some good vibes. Yes, please. I have some happy comments here from people. Steve Snyder on YouTube, buddy, I just cracked my first classic great polypub.

Look, it always comes back to Alipop, man. It's like the first time I heard Carrie Underwood says. on American Idol. Lord. Love the show, boys. Grateful to spend my Wednesdays with you guys. I quit my job to pursue my business full-time around four years ago. I have a six-year-old boy and a one-year-old baby girl.

Every morning I get the opportunity to get them ready and drop my son off at school and take my baby girl to childcare, parentheses, my parents' house. That short time with them in the morning gets me so gas for my workday. Thank you for bringing the PT6 community to life. Love you guys.

Hashtag good. Shout out Steve. And my question is Steve, because I'd love to see him comment under this video, is at what point does his baby girl, who's one, he has a son that's six years old? Yeah. At what point does your daughter become number one over the boy? Because parents like to say there's no rankings in the family. But every night it can change.

You lay your head on the bill like Scotty. Scotty kind of climbing the ranks on Roo right now. Roo's been hell for your boy. She's not into dad. She's in the mama. You have those moments in the next day. next day, Roo wraps you back right around her finger. This morning, this morning,

she had wet the bed, went in there to get her going. She had wet the bed. I'm trying to let her know, this is a dad-dad special right here. Dad-Dat went to bed until he was 14 years old. There's nothing wrong with this. Welcome to the family. Yeah, but she's got her face in the pillow.

She's mad at me. She wants it to be mama and they're not, Dad-Dad. She's yelling at me to get out of the room. Dad, Dad, stop talking to me. I'm just trying to be like, hey, it's all good. We wet our pants. What your pants is cool. She's hit me all that stuff.

I'm like, all right. Okay, that's fine. You want to be mean to Dad Dad? Go ahead. I walk out of the room. She comes downstairs. She's kind of yelling at me about getting her some milk or doing, you know, cutting her bagel or certain way or whatever it is.

She's chirping at Dadda. And Mama's letting her know, hey, you're kind of being mean to Dadas. When I'm like, hey, look, I get it. You want to be mean to Dad Dad. Just, I'll tell you what, I'm not getting you milk. I'm not getting you milk when you talk to Dadda like that like that. So if you want to change your tune, go ahead. Like, Dad, can kind of get some milk, please.

I'm like, sure. So I get her the milk. And you can just tell it's like going through her head like, yeah, I'm kind of getting after Dadda. She's kind of like smiling and leaning over to me, but I'm kind of playing a little hard to get. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kind of playing a little hard to get.

Like, you don't have to work to get back in Daddy's arms. But sure enough, you know, is Dadda taking me to school day? Oh, it's not Daddett starting to take you to school. But I tell you what, I'll be here when you get back from your swim lesson. And then she's like, you're about to leave? Yeah, I'm about to leave. And I have a hug, kiss, and three squeezes it. We can do it two times.

I can tell. That's her trying to pursue me back. I thought, okay, I've been a little bit mean to dad-dad. Let's get back in his good graces. And sure enough, you just melt. They wrap her on your finger. It's always she's the best. We're back on good terms.

So going back to Steve and that question, I just have this, I have this perception that if I were to have a son and you have a daughter, like knowing that I'm a girl dead right now and how much I absolutely am obsessed with my girls, it's like if I had a boy, he would almost immediately fall down on the tone pole forever.

Like the daughter's number one in the family. And if not right, out of the womb, it has to be the first moment she can say, da-da, or dad-da, I love you. And then it's game over from there. So my question is, Steve, how quickly did your one-year-old become number one in your eyes over your boy? We'd love to know that answer. Great question. And feel the exact same way. I'm glad that I had Scarlett first. I did not expect that. And I don't know what it's like to have a son. But I guess like a lot of guys go into having their first kid and they want a boy and yeah looking at it now I'm like oh my gosh

gosh I'm so lucky I have a baby girl and when we were pregnant with our second one I'm praying that it's a boy because I'm already ready to let him know he's number two right when he comes out whether he can understand me or not and you're just he'll be number two forever yeah knowing if it was if it was gonna be a second girl you're almost like thinking in your head like this is going to be tough like am I going to have enough, am I going to have enough love that goes around because I know how obsessed I am with Rue? Like, am I going to be able to have that ability with Scotty or a second daughter? And you find out very quickly, yeah, it is that way. But you're playing all these games. I mean, I just hope it's a boy. So that way he can just know straight out of the gate. You'll be number two

to your sister forever. Yeah, there's a great quote that I think we read on the show that was like having a son is you teaching them to be a good man and having a daughter as they are teaching you how to be a good man. Oh, that's a good one. We read that's a from a PT6er though. That's right. We got brain damage. I got brain damage up here. That one I've already forgot. That one just gave me like I heard it for the first time. Like oh damn that's a song. Will you said that one from a commenter. Will you did say that that was Will Compton everybody. Sorry, Jeff. I got a question for you guys and PT6 Nation specifically probably to the the dads of boys out there that have multiple boys. I feel like with daughters will you put it

where it's like they get favorite child goes day by day and whatnot. I feel like daughters, it's more of maybe like, oh, I did something really good at school or, oh, you know, I've really well behaved. Whereas the boys on the top of the list is probably just the person who wasn't the biggest pain of the pain in the ass for the week. 100%. It seems like it's because your daughter, like it's, you're on their terms, whether or not I want to admit it. It's like, I'll play these games and everything else because I'm like, Dan, you're kind of hurt my feelings right now. But the minute she accepts me back in or she tries to play a game, I'm like, yes.

that's such a crazy thought just right now with how young scarlet is oh yeah bro she's gonna own you man it's the best owning of all time i could not be more looking more forward to it um i'll get to these comments very quick story was like my first interaction with scarlet where she i felt like i was being identified as data publicly of like i handed her off to daycare workers they go to sit down with scarlet and She is tracking me to the daycare door the entire way and kind of has a look like, whoa, hold the phone. Where are you going? Yeah, you're my person. You're my person.

And at the door, I went, Dad, I loves you. He loves you. And she had her binky in, but she still, like, smiled with the Passian. And I was like, oh, dad had needed that. That was really, like, it was incredible. Yeah, like, hey, when are you going to make his Facebook official that I'm your dad? Yeah. In front of people.

You're always real. quiet when I pass you off. Like, when are you going to verbally commit to letting everybody else know, letting the public world know that I am your dad and you're proud of me? It's going to happen. It's going to happen. And I do need it. I, uh, okay, I have some fun comments as well. KJ, this is his actual username. And I believe we've read this one on the show. KJ for the dad's PT Sick Go on YouTube. He said, taking a dump and for the dads. Then down to the basement to work out, bumping for the dads. Let's have a day, boys. And then Mark Antoine, Mark Antoine Varon on Spotify, he said,

at the 529 mark, listened to For the Dads on my way to the gym. Let's get it, boys. A lot of gym rats and the PT6 set up. There's PT6 ready to go in the episode drops. Whatever they're doing, working out, driving to work in the car with the fam, getting some seats switched over. I have one here from in my wife. She was beating me up about this last week. She's like, you need to just say whatever the word is, whether it's right, wrong, just own you messing it up because the moment you mess it up, you keep trying to figure out

how, what's the correct way of saying it. So I'm just going to say, uh, Kenysig. Kenny Sig, on Spotify. Come on. Celebrating my massive dad when driving home, driving into work today, got both boys seats switched over to Mama's car and still got into work early. Prayers for my boy Willie one shelf. We can't win them all.

And shout out to you, Kenzieg. Hey, shout out to you, can't win them all. Shout out to Charo to you giving you notes. I very recently was getting some notes from Jill as well on the show. Yeah. Yeah. I love to hear that you're watching film as well. Yeah, you got to be open to feedback.

I'll get in the car. I'll get in the car with my wife. We got the kiddos in. We might be going somewhere on the weekend. When the vehicle turns on, I'll see that the four the dads episodes up and playing on just kind of point. Like, you listen to the dad's? I see you.

She's like, I listen every week. I got to make sure your stories are exact. Yes. You're off a lot of the time, but you're close for the most part. She recently DM Jill, by the way. She was listening to For the Dads, and she was like, I feel like I needed to reach out.

We got to connect, hang, or something just from all these stories. We got to get the fans together. Yeah, we got to get the fans together. We're kind of fraudulent with our For the Dad's brand right now because we are boys. We're super close. Like, you've been with my family. I've been with your family. We just haven't gotten all the families together.

Well, it is, it's very busy season. In any line of work, the holidays are busy season. Yeah. Like starting at October to like school has started, this has started, holidays. It's busy season. It's busy season. I just think of all the belly laughs we'll be having when our wives are cooking us. Yeah, checking our asses about what we talk about on the show.

We'll go sit down on the couch and our daughters and wives will stand there and they'll just put us in our place and we'll have each other to just be like, hey, man. They'll be sitting there hanging out like, hey, make sure we take as many videos as possible of us doing as essentially all the work while they sit there and scroll on X. Like, oh, dad, PT6, look at him. Sitting on his ass. Oh, here's mine. Oh, Willie Winshelf over there in the corner. He's napping right now.

And it will be us. It will be us with the reading glasses just falling off of our faces. I got one here from Cole Jacobs 1304 on YouTube. Great episode, boys. Will's reflection about time makes me think about one of my favorite movie quotes from Avengers Endgame. Ooh. Just PT6, man.

Like it just, you're pulling it from a superhero movie. It's what it makes me think of. Here's the quote. No amount of money ever bought a second of time. I can't wait to join PT6 in less than a month. Shout out Cole Jacobs. We're going to welcome you with open arms to the PT6 community. Cole Jacobs, cheers, my friend.

Cheers. Is that the hot chocolate liquid Ivie? The liquid I be hot cook. It's tasty. We'll tell you a little more about that later on. Yeah, we'll talk about that. In the program. The hot chocolate is tasty.

It read. I was a little skeptical. To your last comment you read, not that one, but the one before that will, a lot of people on X and in the YouTube comments, curious as to why you only have one base for your car seat. I was thinking about addressing that in that comment, but I was just like, you know, let's just, I only saw a few. But now that you, Derek the Funkle over here, he brings it, oh, Dek, he's bringing it back up. Why doesn't Will have car seats? Look, we have a couple.

One goes in the nanny's car and I just think to my head, like, hey, we'll be able to maneuver back and forth. It hasn't happened. Hey, hey, here's the deal. We're going to get, we're going to get into just the weekend that I had, the weekend that we'll have. Yeah. Stop pocket watching. Oh, yeah. We're out your Pt6. We're out your pocket watching.

I had a couple of people DM me about the base. You know, you got to get your boy right. I'm like, hey, he's on to way bigger things. He's on to Iowa right now, okay? I'm thinking about the Avalhock guys on Friday, 11 a.m. The last thing my boy needs is a text about, hey, you should get another base. And you have a Nuna. I confirmed.

I looked in your car the other day. You have a Nuna. There we go. So that, debunked. Yeah. Haters are sick to hear that confirmation. Pocket watch. Why don't you got eight different car seats?

I have. We just said, why don't you have one of each one that'd be two, three. I have Lewis 22 on YouTube. Absolute dad went to share for our daddy daughter day. I took my six-year-old daughter to a Disney-themed pub quiz on a school night as she was so keen to go. 14 other teams full of adults. 10.30 p.m. finish. Late night for her, but she embraced it.

Just me and her. I just sit back with a beer and write down each and every answer she gives me. We finished in first place. She wiped the floor with them and won 100 pounds, I believe is the money mark here. Let's go, baby girl. Pt6 since day one with you guys from the UK. From the UK, man. Good.

Good. For the Daz international. Is the UK back on the pound? Are they off the Euro? No, they're on the pound. They're not in the Union anymore. Okay, cool. Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen that symbol.

A quick, if any of Brits in here, can, do you guys still use Euros if you're making a purchase somewhere in Europe? That's all I want to ask. Great question. From Seaman Team 6. Yeah. For Seaman Team 6, the captain. Any Brits, listen to right now? You guys still use the Euro pound?

Talk to us. And how's that exchange? Is it through bank automatically? Or do you have to do like a third party? Thank you. Look at that. For a man who just loved some beer in Tennessee Volunteers Football. And many other things.

We don't know what else it was. What's the exchange rate from the pound to the dollar? And they say we have four brain cells between us. We got a little spice. We got a little action. A little bit about something, but not a whole lot about nothing. There you are. Oh, no.

graphic right there. Come on. Oh, one of our favorites, repeat offender, Katie Yosenhans. Lessons of the week hit home today. It's been a very busy season.

My husband works 24-hour shifts at the fire station. I work full-time from home. We just got some help with daycare after a year of waitless. I am finally feeling like I can breathe again and really enjoy motherhood. That's awesome to hear, Katie.

It's been tough to remember to be grateful for this. life that I prayed for, but y'all always remind us to keep our heads up. I find myself saying good a lot during solo parenting days and now saying, I get to do this. I don't have to. Thanks to Derrick, she put several hours in there. Thanks for the reminder of this phase is tough, but short. Toddlers will test you, but being a parent is the best job in the world. Yeah, shout out of her. I do the whole full-time job gig and trying to balance you. And then if you're on a waiting list for daycare and you're trying to figure out the kids all the time, like, God, that is a...

These wait lists are crazy for daycare. It's not a fun stress with the marriage and the household. Because you're like, I got to do this. Then you're trying to like put yourself in their shoes. It's kind of hard to put yourself in their shoes when you're just consumed in your own work and your own things that you got to do. It's like, dog, can we just get ahead of this and figure out what we're going to be doing with the kids? Yeah. I believe Jill and I only got into our daycare when we did because two couples dropped out.

and it's like thank God and we barely got in because you grind I know Jilly Bean grinds with nursing and everything else those are long shifts Yes but we did have a good like maternity paternity leave

Like we had time to kill You know But either way even when you get back to work Like it still weighs on you at some point Especially again When the priority list of like the couple Like you and wifey Like your time or your own social time

Like it kind of falls To the bottom of the list because you're trying to keep your head above water on working. And then the couple hours you have at home with the kids, and then once the kid goes down, if you get an hour, maybe two hours at most for whether it's family dinner or catching up or hanging out, trying not to be on your phone, just all the things going on externally in your life.

And then once the kids go down, like you're just both so exhausted. And then those days stack up. Then all of a sudden you're just, you're feeling this restlessness. Yeah. We don't do shit. We've kind of lost who we are.

Then you're kind of at each other's throat a little bit. So it's big time when you can get childcare and everything else taken up. And that feels like a weight off of her shoulders. Yes. That line stuck out to me too. If like I am now, I can now breathe and enjoy motherhood. That's a really good feeling. Yeah.

That's a good feeling. So Katie, awesome, awesome to hear. Hey, it's us to 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. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast. we could call in and say, hey Jonas,

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

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

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

But yeah, I have some other, like, comments that are separate. These are just dad comments and we can do later. Yeah, we can hit, we can hit some of those. We can hit some of those later. I wanted to get into some storytelling. Like, how was your weekend? Ed, uh, I saw, I saw, I was following you on X. Go shout out, go, go, go follow the boy.

CFB memes, right? Sherm's stew underscore two. Okay. on Twitter and Instagram. Shermstew underscore 2. Yes, sir. But I was kind of following that story where you're traveling, you're going to Texas, yeah? Yes, sir.

And then you guys got stuck. We got stuck. I kind of bulleted everything down. So I can do a run through and then we can just touch on whatever we want to touch on. Yeah, tell your stories. And then we'll chime in whenever we have questions. Fabulous, fabulous. As far as travel goes, this is my word.

worst day of travel ever. So congratulations to that. We have now a top three. Just a lot of stress in general. We made it through. We survived. But let me break it down for you. Very first thing, bottle broke on the plane. Bottle broke? Bottle broke. A cap busted. And so water got everywhere. Because we had some pre-made babas. Yeah. Jill packed four bottles because she's an absolute savage. She is my shout out this week. I'll get it. into that. So we're working with four bottles and she has three emergency ones essentially. Hey,

we'll never need three bottles. It's an hour, 15 minute flight. We're good. Flight circles DFW for several hours because of the thunderstorms and the jet's about to run out of gas so we had to put down in Houston and sit on the tarmac for

three hours. We then finally got into the gate refueled, go back onto the tarmac, sit there for a few hours. Well, you got to the refueled. Are you guys getting off the plane or you're having to stay on? No de-planning. So you're trapped on this plane for about five hours now. For about five hours now. So now we have fed again. We've gone into our second bottle and count on. We had four to begin with one popped and exploded. But the emergency ball, you got three backups. We got three backups. So we went one, two.

So now, oh, sorry. But we have one left. We have one left. And to the DFW. to the DFW. So we refuel and we start heading to DFW, thank God, because we really were thinking, if this takes any longer, like we're going to either one start having to barter and trade with people on the plane because we heard some babies up in the front of the plane

going ballistic. Like crazy cry. So we got a Pt6ers and MT6ers in there. Fighting for our lives. Yes, Derek. Just would love to hear how Skarskar did during the three hours. because me as a person, I'd be like, oh, I can put a movie on.

Can't do that. So how was Scar Scar, Scar during the five hours or so there? I cannot, like this goes into my MT6 shoutout, which I made it a new segment. Boom, there it is. MT6 shout out. Goes to Jill Young, happens to be my wife, being an absolute savage and force to be reckoned with when it comes to maternal instincts. She was grinding on that plane just, about,

bouncing scarlet, holding scarlet, and shake and back and forth and singing songs and doing dances and trading her off to me. And now I'm playing. I'm playing. Trade her back to Jill. Let's get Mickey Mouse Clubhouse going now. Let's get that going. Let's diaper change her. She had two blowouts on the plane. Jill's not even, she's just operating. It was, it truly, it kind of felt like when you're on a team, you have that one like just nuclear dude that you're like, yeah, like so glad they're on my team and not on the opponent, the opposing team. Like, this guy's awesome. Sure.

The story he's told so far. Right now it seems more like, uh, the group project going on. And she's just handling the group project. A million percent. Because I was scared. When I saw you post the one selfie and I think you had the headphones in. For dramatic effect. Here, take it for a second.

Boop, boop. All right. Go back. blowouts, Jill doesn't even sweat. She's handling it. I'm consuming Terminalist right now. Yeah, what is. Honey, what is that? It's Terminalist Dark Wolf, honey. Have you not been listening to the podcast?

What are you doing? No, but she also, like, really kind of own the moment. Like, she hadn't seen Scarlett for a while, like, as far as us together. And so she's really wanting to hold Scarlet, like, do the chest strap and carry her through the airport instead of doing the stroll. So she was like, she was in her back.

She was honestly like kind of enjoying the moment as terrible as it was. But as far as Scarlet goes, I think it sums it up great with like an older man and his wife were passing by us. And he literally went, holy shit, there was a baby there the whole time. So she was quiet when all this is going down too the whole time. She cried. She had one two minute spell. And that was it. It's a big dub, man.

Humongous dub. Did you change one of these blowouts? No. No. The couch badge. The airplane badge. Airplane blowout badge. I'm trying to think if I did in the airport, but now she did.

Handled it. She's happy to do it. She's just like, I want to do it. Hey, can I sit on the aisle because I want to be able to like take her to the bathroom when she, yeah. That sounds great. Perfect for me. Say less.

Yeah, say less. Let me know what you need me to do. what was I going to say? Oh, places we could have flown to instead of DFW over that stretch of, from our house to Jill's mom's house that travel day, it took a total of 10 hours. We could have gone to Frankfurt. That's in Germany.

London, Dublin, Iceland, Amsterdam, Madrid, Barcelona. Those are in Spain. Could have gone to Rome. could have gone to Milan, Edinburgh, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. Those are all places that we could have traveled to instead of DFW over that span of time. How were the parents doing where the kids are screaming and stuff?

From what I could see up at the front, some of the parents did like stand when we were in Houston and we're just kind of in the aisle. Jill did that a little bit, but not too much. Like we got up with Scarlett in Houston, back by the bathrooms. But Scarlett was like, she was really okay. She never, once we got Mickey,

I mean, we kind of just said, screw it on the screen time. We're like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, go. And Mickey Mouse is doing his thing, and I'm just holding Scarlett right there. And she's just with her arm stretched out. Love it Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, locked in.

Hey, that's a dub, man, because that could have got South quick. Because you just never know. I've had a couple situations, whether it's Rue when she's younger, Scotty, when we were flying to or from Canada. Or Scotty, who's having a moment, I'm, like, standing up in the aisle, just, you know, just going back and forth while Charo is trying to keep Rue, whether it's drawing, doing a puzzle or something like that,

keeping them engaged. But they can just decide, now's not the time. Oh, yeah. Like, I'm about to give you all 12 rounds. Scarlet, I mean, Scarlet was very easy on it. So it ended up like all said and done, was it a terrible travel day? Yes. But the part that could have sent it to nuclear proportions of Scarlet having a hard time, never happened.

We were going in town for a wedding. And I had my suits in a garment bag. And I left those in the flight attendant closet on the plane. Those are still missing. I went up to DFW's lost and found. It wasn't in the lost and found. It was just a whole thing. It really wasn't a catastrophe.

Are you just whispering good while all these bad things are happening? I know that that's a hard thing to do, but I feel like since you're kind of you were doing the story on Twitter, I feel like it's almost a soft reminder like, oh, okay, I'm let BD6 now. I got to lock the fuck in. Yes. I definitely was trying my hardest to keep my cool. I will not lie. Like there was a part of me that I was in my own mental hell because we have a Black Friday

video that we feel. filmed and I'm wanting to get that done before Black Friday. And Thursday literally went up in flames because I was going to edit once I like got there. You're trying to get it done so that way you don't have this stuff on your mind throughout the weekend while you're spending time with friends and stuff like that. Exactly. And get to Jill's mom's house. The one cord that you can't forget to pack to like edit on the road because I brought the computer, my Apple Mac Studio power cord. So I'm just like, I'm literally just in that moment. I sat there in silence for maybe 10 minutes in the guest bedroom.

I was like, I just need to breathe. Just need to breathe and just, it's okay. How'd the Black Friday video come out? It's not done yet. Oh, it's not done yet. Yeah, not even close. Not even close. Willie Jobs.

Yeah. The little clip you sent in the group chat was hilarious. Oh, it's so funny. And I can't wait to edit it. And I can't wait like to get my pause on it. but it sounds like Wednesday will be the day that I will just get it done, put a little pin in it. Yeah. But a trip was good, though?

Trip was good. Texas, yeah. Texas was good. The wedding was really fun. That was Jill and I's like first official night without Scarlet. Oh. And like getting to go out, her mom watched Scarlet. Are you feeling young and free?

Young and free had some drinks in me, some espresso tini's. Yeah. some ranch waters. Have you ever heard of the dueling pianos? They hired dueling pianos for the reception. It was one of the best wedding receptions I've ever been to. Do you know what dueling pianos is? I've heard it.

Okay. It's like a big bar scene thing where it's basically two guys that are extremely funny will like riff off of each other while they're playing covers of popular songs on pianos. Doesn't sound all that great. I think it sounds like a vibe. You get a couple good ones. Like that to me sounds like a vibe where they're just keeping juice alive

throughout the entire event. And here's the kicker. Napkins that you put your song request and they're doing requests all night and you're dropping the napkins on there. And these guys are like standing up, you know, going nuts. Did you write a song on the napkin?

I did. Freakalik. No. Peti Pablo Freak a leak. Let me hear it. They did some hip-hop covers. Yeah. I did bust a move by a young MC.

Okay. they did not play it I was not offended I still had a really fun night actually got the guy's card I got the guy's card I didn't get you out to National Tennessee I said here's the deal

you guys travel we're going to throw a dueling pianos event for PT6 one of our meetups that'd be so much fun just vibing on duly pianos but yeah that's that's the tale you shout out parents traveling with their kids man

yeah road ain't easy You hope it goes smooth, but it gets choppy. And I do want to shout out all the PT-Sixers that were replying to my story. A lot of people jumping in the foxhole. One of which is my dad hack this week. Could not find his DM to save my life. But these are bags that you put inside of your bottle. So essentially you can fill a bottle with formula.

breast milk, whatever, feed baby, and then you dispense that bag that was inside the bottle. So no more traveling with four bottles. You just need one bottle with the bag in there. And they sell them on Amazon. I'll send you like a screenshot and stuff, chef, for the Amazon product.

But I was like, shout out. That is like the best dad hack of all time. So thank you, PT6. Thank you, PT6. Sorry, I feel like I went on a... A rant there. No, it's good. You were traveling, bro.

I was. We got to hear the travel stories. You have to. Parents do it all the time. You have to. And God bless him. Yeah. I was sick kiddos.

That's the one that's, that was my weekend, our weekend. Rue, we did a sleepover on Friday night. And that's where we did a pizza, movie Friday. Movie, we watched Wicked. Great movie. Great movie. Wicked was a great movie. And Rue stays all.

stays all night with a sleeps over with me and charro and dude in the middle of the night four in the morning ru all of a sudden gets up and starts projectile vomiting all over the place on her pillow on the bed oh yeah on charro dad i made it out alive i survived the the vomit and then all of a sudden charles like i didn't think you're going to wake up there for a second was kind of sleeping through it for a minute woke up what's going on what's going on roo's on up everywhere i was Oh, shit. Got to go out of bed. What do we got to do?

They were in there cleaning up. And then as they finish up, clean up, I'm letting ruin notes all right and everything like that. And I see a towel. So I grab the towel. And I'm like, all right, well, you know, let's just figure something out. And I forgot about it. I go to lay the towel down on the bed.

I was like, what are you doing? Were you about to, are you just going to lay the towel down? We're just going to sleep? No, no, it's a stupid idea. And I'm just thinking, it's a, we saw, we've seen this before. Boy, this is Big Daddy. Throw some newspapers on it and just keep them moving. What's so bad about that?

I got the towel. I'm about to lay it down. Hey, let's get back in bed. Let's get back to sleep. It's four in the morning. It's four in the morning. We're a little tired right now. I was down. I asked myself, am I laying on throw up?

No, I'm laying on a towel. So what's the issue? She's like, that's not even on your side. I'd have to be the one laying in it. It's on your side. It's a fair point. We got to change the sheets. I'm thinking let's just move up to the gas room or something.

This is one of my... Change the sheets. We got to get stuff in the laundry. We got to get stuff getting the washer. Like, again, she, Charles handled it. I was like, oh, God, we got to. All right, Rood, get off the bed. Mom wants to change your sheets and look over at Charles.

Like, what, do you want puke all over the sheets? Like, we got to wash this. You want to clean the sheets. Your mom wants to clean the sheets. She's a psycho. She's a psychopath, honey. Can't believe she's doing it. But she wants to do.

I got a guy brain. Like, let's just throw some towels down and get back in bed. Let's hope the smell doesn't keep us awake. That's that's Rue coming to your staff at 4 o'clock of the morning. That's one of my favorite memes on the internet. But yeah, so Rue's thrown up. She's sick. She's got this little bug.

She got from school. Usually the way it goes, as I've been told from the parents out there, Taylor was putting me on game. I'm here from my other parents. It gets infiltrated in the school, gets carried home. The young one gets it. After the kids get it, mom gets it. And then I'm the sitting duck.

I haven't gotten sick yet. But on Sunday, Scotty ends up throwing up on herself in the crib. We wake up again. I don't know if it's like 3 in the morning. I don't know what time is with the weekend that we had going on with the lack of sleep. But Scotty ends up getting sick on Sunday to where we got to go up. We're cleaning her up. She's laying in bed with us.

She kind of just stays awake from about 5 in the morning on. Couldn't get her back to sleep. You can kind of smell it in her hair. She needs a bath and stuff. And you're just like, fuck these poor kids. So my wife, you know, Saturday we streamed the game. Oh, God.

We streamed the game on Saturday. So, Roo's sick, you know, Friday night, Saturday morning. Yeah, Friday night, Saturday morning. So Roo's sick. Oh, well. And so we're having like a, you know, skipping ballet, keep her home. She's not feeling good. She's not eating well.

Yada, yada, yada. Charles, like, as we're streaming, Charles, like, I'm going to get them outside. We're going to go to the park or do a walk. She goes to Percy Warner, got this massive hill, all these stairs over the tip top. Do you know what I'm talking about, Dee? Um, chef. Yeah. So we're at the top.

And, or not we, Charles at the top of the kids. And Rue ends up projectile vomiting again. It's just Charles. She wanted to take Waffle too. So it's Waffle, Mom, Rue, Scotty. And then all of a sudden, Roo's like, oh, I don't feel too good. She's like, oh, hang on. And she just starts projectile vomiting all over everything.

Oh, my God. All over the, uh, the stroller on Scotty. You know, I don't know if any guy, I'm sure Waffle got hit with some shrapnel. He probably hated up. She's, yeah, she's at the, you know, Charles, like, getting clothes off her. It's a little cold outside, like, uh, trying to handle all this stuff at the top part of the stairs and wondering, like, how she can just get down. Because you have to, like, say, a mile long path around to get back down. And, uh, she said this family was awesome to her, like, comes up, hey, we'll help you out.

They're trying to get everything carried down into the car. She gets to the car, left the stroller behind. I'm going to get the car, pull it around. She gets to the car, realize the keys are in the stroller. She's just going through an absolute disaster. Oh, my God. While I'm watching Missou, Oklahoma with the boys

and the busing with the boys' street. Yucking it. Yeah. How's it going on? We're having a great time. They cooked up some eggs, bacon, biscuits. We got mimosis. Jack's cooking pancakes. Missouri's in a dog fight right now. I think they got a shot to cover here.

Coach, bring to the show. Yeah, I got them plus eight and a half on Sunday line. Moved down to five and a half. I really like where I'm at. That's good. I'm going through a Disney. disaster right now with the kiddos. You don't know what to say like on the phone.

You just feel guilty that you can't be there to help them out. You know, they're going through hell. Charles got her shirt off and everything because pukes all, you know, pukes everywhere. Yeah, got to wash. We've got to clean the stroller. Got to get there. We got to, I'm thinking, hey, what do you know? Here's a dad.

Here's where dad comes in. I'll take the power wash of the stroller. I don't know if it needs that intense of a machine to get it out. The anchorman seed that we love with the raccoon getting in the coffee. Yeah. Yeah. Just spraying down the strolling. Yeah.

But, yeah, it was hell over the weekend. More so for the wife, because again, it's like I can sleep through about anxiety. I didn't think you were going to wake up there for a second when Roos just spazzed, you know, freaking out, feeling bad. She's puking everywhere. Get a towel on it. Let's get back to sleep. Sorry, sorry. You were asleep for like the first part of it.

And I'm not judging you. I think it's funny. Yeah, yeah. I was asleep when apparently Rue woke up and was like, my tummy doesn't feel good. Like, let's get you. And then boom, it's going everywhere. it's all getting on Charo. It's all over the...

You saw the photo. If you saw the photo, I posted that on X, you just vomit it all over everywhere. Charo. Ruud. You got the root projectile. Again, Scottie's okay

at this point on Saturday. Then you go on Saturday night. Huskers get their shit pushed in by Penn State. Then on Sunday, you got Scotty throwing up. Then yesterday on... What day is it right now? Tuesday.

On Monday, Charles wakes up. She's not feeling good. She's got like the body aches, the like cold sweats and stuff going on. No fever, but just feels like shit. Yeah. And our nanny, she's pregnant right now. We don't want to get her sick. Oh my gosh. We're trying to figure out child care. Well, we're trying to cramming all of our stuff here with Bustin. She's probably trying to figure out all of her work stuff. She feels like

hell. Like, how do we maneuver all this? And I'm just thinking, I'm a sitting duck. It's going to be me next. But right now, dad's got a strong, as of right now, as of right now, dad's got an immune system of steel. There's a dad card you can play here that's, it's within all of us. And it's the phrase, I don't have time to get sick. My father, John Gordon Hanning, has been using that for 20 years, and I've never seen him sick once in his life. Me and my little brother and my mother could be on our deathbed, like a child in the medieval era with, you know, whatever swine flu was there.

Oh, yeah. And he'll go, no, I don't have time to get sick. Never got sick. And I've started doing it as of like last year, barring one night last year in January, I had a fever and then got a quick little 24-hour bug. Don't get sick. It works. Hey, PT6, we don't got time to get sick.

We don't have time to get sick. Knock on wood, though. And I would then say for just a bit of bus and lure very quickly, this has been something that has been in the back of my head since I started working here. I don't think I've ever seen an office not get sick as much as the busing with the boys' office. It's cut. I know. I know.

Because I honestly, I never say that, but I think about it. I think about it all the time. I'm like, it's almost weird. Is it just because this is a fun place to work at? So if we do feel shitty, we still come in? Maybe it's because it's a little bit of a hellhole. We're kind of like forged in fire. You know what I mean?

Sweatting it out. Sweat it out. Breathing in toxins at all times. Maybe. Maybe. But I think about it a lot. It's kind of crazy. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. We are kissing up here. Yeah, Taylor. Because I think about it, I'm like, we don't have a whole lot of depth. We got guys that fill in a new thing. But God forbid if somebody got bedridden for a little bit. Yeah. It was really New Orleans with the oysters.

That's like the only time that I've seen something crippling like that. Because you didn't catch it in New Orleans. Did not. Mitch and I did not go with y'all to the oysters thing because we were editing. Yeah, we lucked out. I think there is something to say that. Like, guys don't, it feels like guys, as you get older, you don't get sick as much. But when you do get sick, it is bad.

Like, if you get sick, it's death. Like, if you get the flu or even, like, if you get COVID or something, whereas, like, your significant other might be like, they might be sick. And they're like, I don't feel great. But they're up and running, you know, whereas if you catch it, it's like, God forbid, you catch it. You feel like you're going. I know. Because I feel like I have the mentality where I question everybody when they're, say they're sick. because I feel like I don't get popped off

and knock on wood, knock on wood, knock on wood. Jill, that's the one compliment that I love hearing from my wife is she was like, Sherman is very tough when it comes to like being sick. Like he will rough it. So when he's down and out, I'm like, okay, he's sick.

And that's coming from a nurse that's like, I see a lot of people kind of selling it. Taping out. Yeah. Tapping out early. We got time to be sick. We don't got time to bleed. I guess so.

So I will take that compliment. Yeah. And I always see it too as opportunity like last night. I'm kind of wheeling and dealing in the kitchen, getting everything cleared away. You're just thinking, all right, little, you know, dad time to put in some work here. Yeah. Well, the wife can chill a little bit. Then I think to myself, what's going to happen here at bedtime?

And I know Charles, like, listen to this right now. She's probably maybe giggling, maybe being like, oh, what's we're going to say? And I'm just wondering to myself, am I going to hit double bedtime? I'm ready to go for double bedtime. But I'm wondering if she's going to make a move to do bedtime? because I remember a time where I actually had, I caught COVID or something. I was sick when Rue was young.

And I'm up there. I'm upstairs with a mask on putting her to sleep. So there's a part of me wondering, like, what move is wife you going to make here? Because I got one in the chamber. If I hit the double bedtime duty and my head just wants you to know, you know, you're sick. I'm glad you're on the couch.

You want to take care of yourself. I do empathize with that, but I do want you to know, Willie C. When I had COVID, you had me up there. I was with the mask on, still putting Rood asleep. That was only when we had one. Don't want to rub that one in your face.

But she showed up. It was more like I was getting Scotty ready to go to bed because, again, she had been sick on Sunday, Monday, or Sunday night, so Monday morning. So she was sick yesterday. Yeah. And so. Feeling better today?

Feeling better today. Okay. Yeah, yeah. She slept real good for her Monday morning nap. Slop like two hours, slept another two hours in the afternoon. and Charles just like she's been tired like you can tell like her body's a little weak right now and she's like craving kind of going to sleep

and everything else but last night she's up you know being Scott Zilla good and then getting her ready for bed I'm like okay I'll try to hit this one on the dot like in between the 650 7 o'clock range get her going in case I do need to be the guy for Rue because Rue was being a sweetheart with Scotty and being like because she didn't have to go to school yesterday

because she had the bug because it came from school and you're not wanting to put her back that's right the way it's getting passed around right now. So she got to chill. So she was in apparently the greatest of moods because she was not going to school. She's showing me everything she drew with chalk outside in the driveway, taking me through these obstacle courses. So she was in a great mood. But I'm kind of strategizing how this is going to go. Then Charle, once I came out with Scotty, I see Charles was in the bedroom with Rue, just being a superhero. I'm like, all right, yeah. She exceeded, not exceeded the expectation,

but I'm like, all right, didn't have to think her. We got a gamer here. Yeah, we got a gamer here. Because I was ready to joke with her a little bit. Just so you know. And I have a photo right here. There's daddy right now. He ain't a fucking mask. Played her. Yeah.

I even playing about it. So. What, or we did. We got back on to you. You were talking about the sick weekend. We got off on some subject. I wanted to make sure that was the full story. Oh, yeah.

I don't know anymore. Okay. Because on Monday. Wrap it up with a shout out today. Hats off to the wifie. Hats off to the wife. You see you're on the other sideline. You're like, all right, good play call right there.

Yeah. Because I was ready to get you. And you got further shots on Monday on live television. You've been taking a lot of hits. Yeah. You've been taking a lot of hits. Yeah. Sick household.

George Kittle, he didn't know it. But he's taking crazy shots of me on national television. He probably wouldn't have said those things. I'm sure he still would have. He's an Iowa guy. These Iowa guys are classless. He's trying to call me classless because I'm messaging him during the day the game. I'm just letting him know I'm coming to you as a man,

let you know that Nebraska's going to stop a mud hole in your ass. You go, you don't even respond to me, you go on national television and call me out for all these things. He doesn't even know. I got sick kids and a wife at the house, and he's just out here taking shots at me. I'm trying to keep my head above water. I went against the Chiefs over the weekend. So when that

fell through, I got all the Chiefs Nation. I'm assuming swifties as well. Coming at your boy, just taking a random stray again on Monday night football after George Kittle has like seven, eight reception, six, seven, receptions and you know volume was down I was studying the games for the college football show I'm trying to do the for the dads prep college and NFL like I'm starting to prep and trying to find

some fun facts all these rivalry games we have coming up this weekend it was about 1030 at night I had the volume on eight so the TV was on background the game was over I see scott van pelt on I enjoy me a little SVP action come on as we all do yeah and I see george have this stateline I'm good for the boy george that's friend he's a friend of the show that's we're boys and uh then all of a sudden I just here in the distance because again volume was at ace, Scott Van Pell. I know you want to address your Nebraska friend here in a little bit and I'm thinking I kind of turn over, I dropped the pen and look over

at the TV and it's like one of those little sass memes where I'm like, is he talking about me? Leo and Ardicabria? I thought, yeah, what? Me? And so I turned the volume up to about 32 and just sit there until the moment comes and he just destroys. He goes, he cuts a great WWE promo. He did.

Oh, and I was just sitting there, just taking bullets, just trying to survive. Oh, Like, all right, got to get through Tuesday. Maybe give them the opportunity to let them know that you got some sick kids at home. And maybe the tune changes. I had a tweet written out using the sick kids and the wife. People don't know a relationship. So, you know, I put it in the dress.

It's still sitting there cooking. But, buddy, I got a sick wiping kids and I'm getting puked on all weekend. And you want to take cowardly shots of me on national TV, a platform like ESPN. Who would do such a thing? It's disgusting. Yes. You don't know how it's going to play out. You know what?

I'm having an emotional reaction right now. Let me just simmer on this. Let me have a fun little video. Cooler heads prevail. Just let him know. I'll tell you what, Nebraska beats their ass this Friday. It's on. It's on.

It's on. Well, just... Something you guys at home to think about right now, driving home for Thanksgiving or at Thanksgiving. Oscars went on Friday. Tune in the underscore Willie C. underscore Will Compton on social media channels. Yes.

I thought about texting you over this weekend and I apologize that I did not but I was thinking about it I had a text written out because I was in it I saw that you were in it look PT6 you know we know we're all banded brothers here

yeah I know you're in it with me whether or not I hear or we say it to each other because again I was following yourself on social I'm not like oh I think I did say hey this is what I sent you a text after I saw that you on the plane oh yeah you told me to hang in there. And we were going back and forth

about that. This is versus what creates character. Yes. It was something along those lines. Yeah, you were like, I mean, these are the moments that mold you. I think is what you said. Yeah, you just know as a debt, just as a parent, when you're in the suck of traveling, and you something goes sideways, and you're stuck in a terminal, or you're sitting on the runway for about five hours.

You got a little kiddo, who knows if they're on their best behavior or not, or if you're in a tough time. You just know how it can test you mentally. And so it's more of just giving you, I know you're having the fun tweets, but if you thing is something. This is where you got to lock in. This is where you got to lock in. You got to be there. Whenever Jill needs you. It sounds like she was game planning. She was Ben Johnson out there dialing it up. She was. And I think I took full advantage of it.

But I also think I like I could have done a better job on a serious note. Like I was I was deep, deep in the depths of terminalists. No, not terminal list. Just just sad boy. vibes. Yeah. Sad boy vibes. Wind out of the sale. Wind out of the sale. Yeah.

Like I, I, I didn't quit or like, uh, throw in the towel or anything like that, but like, I just had, I had to reanalyze.

Yeah. I had to reanalyze. This could not have happened in a better week with Thanksgiving coming up. Truly. Dude, so much to be grateful for. So much to be grateful for. So,

yeah. Good conversation with Wi-fi of not like a. locking in, but a, like, just kind of opening your eyes to everything that you are grateful for, for the opportunities that you do have, et cetera, of just, you know. And I was letting an eight-hour flight little fiasco thing and forgetting the power cord and forgetting the suit and all these lost, dad lost, dad lost, dad lost, dad lost, like take me out of sweet moments of like my mom coming to my aid and, like, We're with Scarlett and she's got no socks or shoes on and we're feeding her in the old Navy as I'm picking out the replacement suits.

And then we're going to sports clips. I'm getting my haircut for the wedding and Scarlett. Looks good. Thank you. Her cut looks good. Thank you. Get my haircut and Scarlett's sitting there. And one of the ladies that worked up there said, we need to get her an agent. She needs an agent because she's that cute of a baby.

I was like, okay. Yeah. I was like, I know somebody. Let's get her in a couple of commercials. She was like, I'm thinking pageants in the future. And in the back of my head, I was like, oh my gosh, I don't know. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what?

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

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

Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

And on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Gentian win. I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but.

But I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Even worse, that date was October 27th. Hey, no, but you're in the right month. Yeah. You're in the right month. That's cool. Listen, I forgot old Bill's birthday. That's okay. Two years in a row.

Oh. That's okay. We're going to come back even harder in 2026. Gino party. Yeah, I hate it. I had even wife, you told me this year, like, hey, don't forget your dad's brother. Oh, I know. I know it's my dad's birthday.

Like, fucking, then I just fleeting. It's like fleeting out of the brain. And then he hits me the next day. And you forget something? Oh, no. He told you. Yeah. Okay.

But that makes me feel a bit better. I didn't. He busts my ball. Like, he bust my balls about it. I brought it up purely to laugh in it with you because I am like, calling the kettle black. I am so bad with birthdays. But you're, dude, your dad, the Duke of Bontair. That's his Twitter handle is like Duke of BT. The Duke of BT. And Prime Dad too. Like he used, I forget what it is.

Yeah, it's him and his dog now. This is his. Oh, yeah, that's right. That one's been up there a while. Yeah, that one's been up there for a while.

The Duke of BT. Duke of BT, bro. But just that was the only DM that I really answered over the weekend. I did a poor job of answering DMs this weekend. Apologies. But when the Duke of Bontair DMs you. And what sucks is I thought I was nailing that date. I'm like, all right, let's see here.

Does this ring a bell trying to just go back in the archives? I'm like, yeah, October's when something was, I thought it was going to be something with Wifi. But of course, my old man's dad. Because you thought it was Charo at the Eminem or something like that. Once I missed that, I'm like, okay, am I off? Is this the Atlanta game? I'm trying to think of all these different moments.

Jill and I, two weeks out from our anniversary, realized that we were going to be going out of town the same week of our anniversary. and we both had no gift, nothing planned. Like, we both botched our second anniversary. Well, at least you both knew it. Both knew it's you and not her. Oh, and if you're dialed in and it's not her, it kind of got you right now.

It was the realization, like, together of like, oh my God, we're two weeks out, and November 18th is the two year. And I'm looking up, because I want to do the date of, like, first year is paper second year is cotton third year is you know there's the

things and dude I was just so bummed and we we did have a great moment because she's working hard too and we got the kid and just life is crazy fast and I told her that I got her an anniversary gift the night of I got her a pepperoni pizza with the pepperoni in the shape of the hearts

and I said I forgot to get you a card she's like, that's okay, I got you a card and I forgot to ride in it. And we just had an anniversary night that was like, just kind of like, hey, we're really, really busy and life is like chaotic, but like you are my teammate. I do love you. And like it was still a good little anniversary. Yeah, we're both really, really busy. And thankfully we're both really, really sorry.

Yeah. Yeah. Because we do love each other. We do love each other. There was no one mad at each other. which was like, which was good. But it just means I got to knock it out of the park big time next year. I have to.

A lot of good phrases and one-liners and just like rules for life and things that kind of think about and chew on. Yeah, those are the audiobooks. I know that we brought up a reading list before, but I feel like that would be fun to explore and jump into more, like a reading list and slash a watch. Yeah, got to get one for the day. It's a reading list. Yeah. And by the way, my crack of cold one this week is going to go to my wife Charo. I know I've had a couple to her.

But again, as a dad who feels guilty when he's not there in the trenches and puke is going everywhere. She was the one that was getting puked on on Friday night. She was the one dealing with the puke on Saturday. She was the one noticing Scotty crying on the monitor to get her taken care of on Sunday. So my crack a cold one is to my beautiful wife, Charo. And Charles Sweetheart, if you're listening, I fucking love you. I love you. I love the shit out of you, Jill.

Because you also are my crack a cold one this week. The moving the seats closer to the bathroom because you're excited to change the dirty diapers on the plane. The embracing all the suck that we came across this weekend, it was truly, it was inspiring. And I love you. And thank you for just being a rock star. love the shit out of her. And I love the shit out of you. Let me tell you. For the dads, Papa Team 6,

We have Liquid Ivy hot cocoa mix in our mugs. This stuff legitimately slaps. I was shocked when I saw that they were doing hot cocoa and then try it and was like, okay.

I was skeptical of the high cocoa because I do love some hot cocoa. I love to get some marshmallows on top of it. Yeah. But you crack this in with some hot water, very tasty drink. And if you want cold, if you want a cold one, Willie Boys go-to is the cotton candy flavor. Just simply like that. We got a code for you.

Where the hell is my blah, blah, blah. Hey, this is Sherman. So how are we doing? I'm thinking back on the crack of coal when we're setting us, we're setting ourselves up for a funny, a good laugh when our wives do come on the show. Because we talk about the suck that they're embracing. We love that you love doing that.

Like you're just wanting to change the diapers, like embracing the suck with the puke. And they're just going to have just targets on us ready to unload. Oh, yeah. There's no part of Jill that sees any type of comment that is like positive towards our show or towards myself. That's like, oh, Sherman's such a fraud. Like that, that's never like come up in conversation or anything like that. But I'm sure there are so many moments where she has had to bite her tongue of like, I wish you could. I wish you could have seen this guy on Sunday.

was doing just a great job of representing PTSD. And it's all deserved. I mean, it's all deserved. Because we are not perfect. I even laughed when you said at the beginning, we're not experts. I was like, I wasn't one this weekend. I can promise you that.

Just a couple of dads. We're a couple of dads trying to survive, dude. Speaking of a couple of dads, we have a couple of call-ins from a couple of dads. Now, just to remind everybody, if you want to be featured in the show, just calling the 601 the dads. It is our hotline voicemail

where you just send us a voicemail. Whatever you're going through, maybe it's a high, maybe it's a low, maybe you're shouting out something, whatever it is. You call on the 601, the dads. Our boys, Derek and Chef, break them down.

We'll just do a couple on each show. We send you free merch. Send you free merch. Who we sent it free merch to this week? This week we are sending free merch to Derek Whiten's father. Oh, I wonder how he got picked out the entire list of voice sales.

Chef picked it out. Picked it out. But we have... What's it called where you're like hiring your family members? Nepotism? Nepotism. A little bit of people to 56 a little bit of nepotism. Who said that? Who was saying that?

Yeah, Papa Whitton, Papa Compton. They're making it on the show. That is true. We've had a lot of dads. Yeah. My dad actually wrote something out. wants me to read later. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. But we do have

Papa Whiten, he did try an olipop and one does give us a full review. Okay. So here it goes. Hi, this is Chip Whiten or Shirm likes to say, you know, Chip, OUA, 1, 2. Gotta have a number there.

Hey, I watch the podcast and I noticed how you had a sponsor from Oliop. Now, normally I'm a poppy drinker, but We were in the store the other day, and I came upon two flavors that seemed really different. So I picked up a can of watermelon lime, which I haven't tried, and Ridge Rush, which I did try. And here is my explanation of Ridge Rush.

It is like throwing a handful of skittles on steroids into your mouth. and it was good. It was good. It was very good. But it was very different. And I just wanted to give my opinion on one flavor. Thanks, guys. You do a great job.

Talk to you later. Bye. Bro, when you said spoke to him, I just envisioned any dad in the world, in the soda aisle, and lowering the glasses and going, what the hell is that? It's what my son been talking about.

Okay. Okay, hold on here. This is that olipop stuff. What's the rich? What? The rich? That's different. Just selecting it. Yeah, I'll try it. What a legend. So Chip did enjoy it. It's just different. Yeah, it seems like if I could break that down,

Samantha has a mature palate. Yeah. And it's skittles on steroids doesn't seem like the most enjoyable for my personal self. I'm assuming he was, that's kind of his take on it too. Kids, they'd all love it. You're in your 20s, early 30s you might like this. Yeah.

It seems like maybe a little too much sugar for Papa Chip. Yeah. A little too much of a sugar feeling. By the way, Ali Pop, Lisa, I know they sponsor the show, but it's two to five grams of sugar per serving. But maybe it's just a flavor. Like this is, we're not going to say the brain. He's calling insane other brands.

Derek, what are we doing? Papa White and what are we doing? He picked two flavors. that we have never tried and or discussed. Never heard of those flavors. They were different. They were different. They spoke to him.

I said, well, what about the other flavors that we do talk about in love? He's like, I'll get to those. But those were his flavors. And I don't know why he picked the flavor of Ridge Rush, but I'm excited to go home for Thanksgiving and raid the fridge and try it. Two things. The Ridge Rush. Two things very quickly.

I could just envision showing my dad, Mo Bamba, or what's that other song that Nebraska, Scrilla. Scrilla. And him just saying, Hey, that's different. You know what I mean? What is what the kids listen to do?

Oh, that's a little different. Okay. Was he shopping on his own? Is this a PT-6 that I can shop on his own? So he can, but they do it together very much so. But there's also times where like my dad's favorite time in the world was when him and my mom would go to Trader Joe's during COVID. Because during COVID, Trader Joe's only let like 10.

people in the store. So the line went around. So my mom waited in the car. My dad stood in line, annoyed everyone around him to become friends with him, and then walked around the store with these people to shop. And it was like he made new friends every fucking weekend. He's that type of guy who makes, like, I make friends with a brick wall because I learned from him. So he loves shopping because there's so many people who are strangers that he just hasn't met yet. That is all time, man. That's a, that's a dad. That's a good. My old man, he can't go shopping on his He'd get lost in the store. And I am not shitting you.

This is a man who's gotten lost in our own hometown because he took a wrong turn and went to like a hotel parking lot. And he's the Duke. He's the Duke of BT. He's out. I get out of here. And he's a lifer. He grew up in that county.

Oh, really? Yes. What county is it? St. Francis County. Shout out the SFC. St. Francis. But Deloge Bontera makes up North County, our high school. Yeah.

our school system. And he grew up there. And yeah, I'm not shitting you. There's another time where we ate at Applebee's. And he walked out the wrong door. And had no clue where the car was. He walked out like the to go side door. Yeah, to go side door.

He went to the bathroom, went out to the go side door. And we're sitting in the car just laughing at my old man because he pulls out his phone next thing. You know, he's calling my mom. What the hell? Hey, hold the phone. They just switched up everything. Yeah. Where'd the highway go?

Where is it? Did you check the other side of the Applebee, honey? No. Well, maybe, you know, walk around over there. Hey, don't, I got it. I got it. No GPS system in my old man's head, bro. Sometimes I'm a victim of it as well,

and I'm like, oh, this is where the old man's kicking in here. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we, what's it called? The pharmacy, the burger spot here in Nashville. I took my parents there, like, what, like my first year in Nashville when I was on the top of, Titans. Parents came to visit and we went and ate at the pharmacy and walked out. My dad was taking a while. It's a bathroom. It's always the bathroom. It goes to the bathroom no matter

what at the end. We'll go out and get in the car. Like pack a dip in. Come on. And kind of saying, I'm like, all right, dad, we're all ready to go. He's like, hang on a second. Got to go to the bathroom. Goes back in the house. You know what I mean? Just always takes his time. Let me go to the bathroom. And we were at the pharmacy and we got done. My mom and I walk out. We start walking. We're in a conversation. So we're kind of walking away from the pharmacy. My dad's in the bathroom. We get up. to the top of the hill. If you come out, pharmacy, take it right, and you're walking up the hill over there in East Nashville. And we started laughing like, oh, we got to wait for dad. And we're

like, let's just stand up here and see what happens when he comes up the door. He walks at the door and he's all walking around. And he's like, well, pulls out his phone. Where'd you guys go? We're just like, look right. Oh, I got you. All right. Nice of you. I actually did get this from my mom earlier today. This was at 1230 today. I'll tell you what, for the dad's changing the alley pop game right now. It really is. Flavors, too. Like, I'm dialed in on the couple. Classic grape. Classic grape and crisp apple. Those will change your life. I am excited to expand my range. As a mind. Dive in some of these other flavors that people kind of shut out and mention.

Cream soda. I want to get my hands on that one. Next caller. Next call. Hey, it's us to 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 around there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band.

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

But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast,

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

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

Will, Shim, how are we doing boys? Is Shim? Boy, Will calling in. Shim. I've got to call in and tell myself, Coach, who is now 17 weeks pregnant. In the Australian.

I want some strawberries cut up for a little snack. Of course, you know, you can't have the strawberries without sugar. We were out of the right kind of sugar, apparently, and I put on the wrong kind of sugar. So now I am headed back from the grocery store with the right kind of sugar to go ahead and hopefully right my wrong. We're in it. I need all the help we can get.

I appreciate y'all for keeping up to support. Y'all take care. God bless him. God bless him. Congratulations on the upcoming kiddo. Congratulations on the upcoming kiddo. His mind's everywhere. Well, let's just say he knows your name, Shirm.

It ain't Shim. He's got a 17-week-Preg-old wife at home right now. And look, the wives are just in a different headspace. They're in a different head space. When they're pregnant, they can't control the hormones that enter their body. They can't help. They don't want to lash out at you. Yes.

You just happen to be the guy. You just happen to be the person right in front of them when you don't put on the right sugar and you got to have the specific sugar. This call brought up two PTSD moments for me when Jill was pregnant. One, I never struggled with calling you Taylor or calling Taylor Will ever, except when Jill late in Jill's pregnancy, I started realizing it. I was like, oh my gosh, my brain's all over the place.

So there's that. Yeah. So Shim checked off the list. Jim. Jim. Secondly, Jill asked me, she was like eight months, pregnant, she needed crispy cream. And my errands I was running for her, it ran long because the Pets Mart was closed, whatever it was. So I'm thinking I'm coming home to now an asleep Jill.

And for the PT sickos out there, made the huge mistake of saying, oh, my wife's asleep. I'll skip the crispy cream because she's asleep. There's no way she's awake. I come in. She is asleep. She hears me wrestling. I wake her up. And she goes, goes, crispy cream? And I go, oh, I go, oh, honey, I thought you were going to be asleep. And she literally went, mm-mm, mm-mm, go, go. I had to go to the Christy cream, came back to a sleeping wife again, woke her up, gave her her warm crispy cream, and she was so happy. It's the happiest wifie of all time. No, no, sweetie. Daddy ain't going back outside. Nope, nope, you get out of here. Listen, she said, go. Yeah, you need to stop right now. I got a pillow on my hands. It's going to go over

your face, you don't stop telling me what to do. Hey, but honestly, honestly, to add onto that, it's always like, number one, you got to bend in the need of the wife. Yeah, yeah, Ben don't break. Yeah. Ben don't break. Yeah, Ben don't break, man. You got to stay locked in and you're in the trenches. You're going to stay in the trenches. That's just the way it is. You got to learn this is the good mentality. This is embracing the suck. But also, the upside is you do, like, I always enjoy, the, I'll even almost ask, hey, do you need me to go get X, Y, and Z? Because it's like, you get the, you get out. You get out. the house. You get a little peace and quiet. Take a little trip, five, ten minutes. Who knows,

maybe 20, 30, if you're lucky. Yeah. And you enjoy some, you enjoy some you time. Get the frustrations off your chest. Love that he called in. Use the dad hotline. Use the for the dad's hotline. He was feeling something. Let's get off your chest. But then you spend it the next time, it's, hey, I can go down the road right now again. We might be missing an ingredient. I'm the first one hand up. You want me to run down the road right now. I go, I go get some more eggs. Easy. Be back in 12 minutes. I'm big on that whenever it's like last preparation stuff. Jill's getting scarlet ready for something.

Yeah. But we're also missing bacon. We gotta get some bacon. Oh, well, when you get, you know, you're getting scarlet ready. I'll go, you know, I'll snack the bacon. No, we're doing that together. Get out of getting the kid ready. Go get you a little quick trip in.

Gotta get the quick trip in. We were doing, I was trying to sneak one in over the weekend. Our fireplace remote isn't working. Batteries are dead, so we need some AAA batteries. Sunday morning, I tried, you know, pulling a, I can just go down the road and get some AAA batteries. You don't need to do that right now. I'm like, damn.

I have felt that pain. I have felt that pain. I like doing a little trippy. We got some emails as well if we want to dive into emails. Do you have emails? I do have some emails. I can go first. The emails.

The emails. I have Christian Ward. He says, what's up, fellas? My name is Christian Ward. I am 22 and from Archie, Missouri. and I am emailing from somewhere in the middle of the ocean. I recently joined PT6 as of October 20th, welcoming my son Gordon into the world.

Congratulations. I've been a tier one busting with the boys listener for five years now and for the dad's listener from the start. I'm just writing to share my story and how you guys in PT6 has helped me through some rough times. My situation's a little special, but listening to you guys has helped me out a lot. Me and my wife found out we were going to be parents in March.

We were so overjoyed, but we knew our journey would be a rough one because I am currently serving in the U.S. Navy. Thank you for your service. And I left for deployment in June. Babies due in March. He left in June. I was lucky enough to be able to come home for the birth, earning my couch badge. Shout out. And the first month of my son's life to support my wife and be there with my son.

knowing I was going to have to leave soon to go back out on deployment. Leaving my month old son and wife was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. But for the dad's podcast has been helping me through missing these first few months just by hearing Will and Sherman and all other PT-6ers that call in with stories of fatherhood. I still have three to four months out here away from my wife and child. But with PT6 and the For the Dad's podcast every Wednesday, I get to listen to y'all's stories and picture how sweet it. it is going to how sweet it is going to be when I am reunited with my wife and son thinking three to

four months away from home good you guys truly are the best podcast out there and I recommend y'all to all the dads I talk to while I'm out here experiencing the same thing as me you guys inspire me to be great fathers like yourselves and keep kicking ass that comes from Christian Ward Christian thank you for your service Christian thank you man it's got the eyes a little glossed over because, yeah, I can only imagine how hard it was to kind of like leave the fam. And just, you know, you're more so like I've never been in the position that he's in. And shout out to you. Thank you for your service.

I'm assuming you get some FaceTime's or some call-ins. I don't know how often you get to talk to the wife to hear about the kid, getting photos. I'm sure he's like a kid in the candy store, like when he gets pictures of little baby girl. I know I'm that way. Anytime I'm on the road and a video or photos come in about him, I'm just over there. you're just grinning and smiling. You're wanting to be back home and just be around him. But I hope he's, what a time to encourage some writing or some thoughts like while you are away.

So one day, like when your little one gets older, you're able to share with him like how hard it was being deployed and doing your best. This is how dad dad was trying to communicate to you like while I was gone like with mama and everything else. Yeah. That would be. Tugs on the heartstrings a little bit. It does. The only thing I thought when I first read it, Derek had given me these emails before to kind of go through

was just the kind of not the sour grape attitude that I was having over the weekend, but just kind of like the general, like, last month's been like really difficult. But reading situations like that of like, man, this guy is serving for our country. Yeah. And isn't even with his wife and kid. and he's still there sitting there saying good and like writing in and counting down the days and I'm like man who am I to like sit here and think that my situation may be difficult or I don't know it just it was a really good reminder to like stay the course yeah the way that happens too and

this is not like a dunker that dude would kill for five hours on a tarmac with his wife and it's it's not a dunk one or anything no when you think of of those types of perspective. It's really crazy. I mean, I need to too, but this dude, like,

just saying that our pod's helping him with his situation. Yes. Crazy. But yeah, I'm with you on that one. No, I truly,

that it was a, who am I moment of like, man, I need to count my blessings way more, way more. Yeah. But yeah,

you have an email as well? I do. I do. This is from Jeremy Schaefer. What's up, boys? This is Jeremy. I'm a fireman in the

Metro Atlanta area. Currently, it's 8 a.m. coming off shift and trying to haul ass home to make our 12-week ultrasound appointments to find out the gender. Early this morning, me and the crew had three separate wood fires after midnight, making it five woods fires for the shift. Been up since 3 a.m. Had to stay on the scene past the shift, or had to stay on the scene past shift change. Nothing's going smooth, trying to get things wrapped up and cleaned up so I can leave work. I love the chaos at work, but all the fire guys know the chaos, and the level of anger,

and the level of anger running calls after midnight. Trying to bust my ass to make this 930 appointment. All I can think is good, which reminded me of the new episode that's up, turned it on on the way home, already changed the mood for your boy, embrace the suck fellows, love what y'all are doing

and makes me excited and feel prepared for our little one coming in June. Keep up the good work. Shout out of you, Jeremy, being on the front lines, and hustling, straining to make the appointment because you know how important it is with Wifi too

like you guys both going through it together you making it a priority whether or not you sit there and think about I hope she's kind of thinking about my situation or I hope she understands how much I'm busting my balls to be here. Shout out you for being able to ship that perspective I know it's an absolute grind. It's going to

constantly be a grind but thank you for writing in. Thank you for writing in taking time getting that off your chest. Shout out for all you do being on the front lines with the fire department. Yeah, talk about another profession. Yeah. I mean, very, very humbling in like

a good way of just getting to hear other people's, I'll talk about it in my lesson of the week, but just very thankful for the show. We're very thankful that we have men like that writing into our show. That's really cool. Yeah, thankful for the show, the community,

writing in and knowing what he's going through, but feeling like he's pulling stuff from our episode. That's a crazy thought to me. Yeah, to shift his perspective. it's a constant reminder that whatever story you have going on, a shift in perspective, there's always going to be a story that makes you feel a certain way, like the five hours on the tarmac or whatever it is.

It's going to make you feel a certain way that I need to constantly grab a hole and lean into gratitude all the time because there's so many worse situations going on than what we're all going through. And that's everybody too. Like, firemen will hear something, a different story. Like, why am I bitching about staying past my shift? before. I've been up since 3 a.m. when I just heard this story. My man over there,

even across C's like shot at him for service and everything else. I'm sure he's heard a story in his platoon, whatever it is that makes him feel so appreciative and give him a perspective of the work he's doing and how he's getting to do X, Y, and Z, or, man, I got to go home for a month. And this dude, he's been, he's been working through. He hasn't gotten to go home in years. I don't know, but there's always a story that kind of helps us with our own perspective and whatever story we think we're living, and then you hear somebody else, it's like, man, I need to count my blessings a lot more.

Especially, you know, today, like people traveling home, you're going home for Thanksgiving. Maybe we were thinking about that extended family member or that family member that you haven't had the best relationship with. We were hearing about it with Mitch on the bus. He was like, I just, he hopes to have a better relationship with his brother. And people are kind of going through whatever conversation could come about this weekend at the dinner table and hoping that they can mend it or get closer.

Or maybe you feel ten toes down or dicking your heels in about something you feel towards somebody else. What a moment to kind of think about why am I so bothered by everything, like getting to spend time with family, getting to spend time with friends. Maybe I need to shift just a little bit to see if I can bridge whatever gap it is. Thanksgiving's always a great reminder to kind of reflect on the year and reflect on all the things that you are thankful for. Yeah. It's been hitting at the perfect moment for me, to be completely honest. It's been, I'm very excited for Thanksgiving and just the idea around it. Yeah. and the time off.

Yeah, and the time. Like you grind for these couple weeks, people getting to listen, like whether they're traveling or whatever the case may be and just knowing like you been grinding this year, you have like this four-day weekend or you get to watch some ball,

you get to eat some food, spend time with family and his friends, maybe take a little nap. Yep. Stay up a little later. Watch that movie, watch that TV show. Have a couple drinks.

Have a couple drinks. Go watch the balls beat the shit out, Andy. Go watch the walls, beat the shit out of Vandy. I do got Vandy this weekend. Hey, Pavia, we're coming for you. Nigel Pavia. Let's see if you can walk into kneeling and take down the volunteers. Talking real loud on the bus.

See you talk like that in Knoxville. I am very excited for that game, though. That'll be a fun game. I'm glad I'm going. Yes. That'll be a fun game. I got one more email. And do you have one more?

I do not Okay I can do this last one And then we can go into Lesson of the Week We got less of the week Before lesson of the week Though we did that poll

Last week on Best Way Pt6 best way to cook a turkey poll Yes So hit the email We'll do some turkey talk We'll do some turkey talk We'll end it with a lesson This one is anonymous

Hey Sherman Will I'm a girl in my mid-20s And definitely not your typical demographic But I wanted to reach out And let both of you know just how far your influence reaches. I found for the dads about a month ago and quickly binged every episode

to say that you guys have made a difference in my life is an understatement. I know it sounds cheesy, but y'all help me regain confidence that there are great men out there who want to be present, intentional dads and partners. I've dealt with abuse in past relationships

and have come from a background where masculinity and fatherhood were approached dot, dot, dot, differently. But hearing you to be so intentional, honest, and vulnerable has blown me away. Y'all hold a gentleness and strength together. Y'all hold gentleness and strength together instead of treating them like opposites. You show that real masculinity includes presence, care, and the willingness to grow, that husbands and dads can be soft and loving and still be the man of the house.

you're showing everyone, every young woman, what good men look like. I also just listened to the most recent episode of Bustin with the Boys with Robert Gallery. It was another fantastic conversation, just like every Busset episode and every For the Dad's episode. Y'all are helping everyone who watches by highlighting real problems, real stories, and real emotions from a place of non-judgment. And on top of everything, you always bring it back down to earth with humor, humility, honesty, and empathy. just need to say that all of y'all at bussen are changing the world so truly thank you you've made more of a difference than you probably realize keep it up y'all we appreciate what you're doing that comes from anonymous that uh i wanted to make sure that we read that one uh specifically for the

bottom line of just like for everyone at bussend because i know that this part of the year this like football season, the grind, it really can, it can weigh on you. And I know for listeners at home that feel the same way. But yeah, I just think that we've brought together a community of really intentional people that are also really fun and have a good sense of humor, that want to be incredible parents. And I think that's really freaking cool. And just a good reminder of like just what we have an opportunity to do every week. It's really sick. Yeah, that is one of the kindest write-ins. I think I've gotten here being read. You say like very intentional, very fun, have humor, but also like very flawed. Like there are a lot of times

where I'll be driving home wandering in my head, man, do I share too much? Do I say too much here? Do I have, do I take this too lightly? Do I, do I feel like I, whatever point I was trying to make? Did I, did I bring it home? Did I say it in a right way? Like you have all these questions because we're all very imperfect. And have all these imperfections to where, hearing that is, is awesome. Again, it gives perspective and gratitude.

And if it's changing a few people, you feel like you're doing, you're doing what you want to do, especially with a brand like this, a show like this, a show like Bustin. Yeah. But speaking for just speaking on the for the dad's front, like that's all we want to do is just know that like it, it's sucky a lot of times. It's great a lot of times. There's a lot of fun like things like you take it serious. You take it lightly. You communicate. You don't communicate. Like let's talk about these flaws. Let's talk about where I fell short. Let's try and feel comfortable doing it. See if there's a lesson I got from it or something that my wife taught me or somebody else taught me and just share. or everything that I feel like I'm trying to do in this journey of fatherhood because you grow up in situations, and I'm not saying mine was bad by any means, but you feel like as you're growing up, there's certain ways to do everything. And then you get open up and your mind gets expanded to challenging certain thoughts here with myself or challenging certain thoughts there. If I want to be masculine, I kind of like this idea right here. It feels a little soft in my head

because I grew up in my own, a pridefully, like a certain way and I carry myself a certain way. but it seems like a little softer. There's something that connects the dots in my head to where it's like, okay, I'm actually on board with this idea. I see why. I see the explanation from it versus just like being narrow-minded and thinking, no, I'm going to do it this way. I don't care what so-and-so says.

So that was really cool to listen to. Thank you to the anonymous person who wrote that in. Yes. Thank you very much. I've been told that I say this too much on the show, but it is really cool to read stuff like that. I feel very undeserving of reading. stuff like that.

And I think that there are a lot of dads out there that maybe feel the same way whenever they're, you know, getting there, whatever, you're a great dad, you do a great job and maybe they feel undeserving of it, but just, you are a great dad. There are great dads out there and you're doing a great job. So I don't know. I was just trying to land the plane. I got a little loss. But you're a good dad.

I appreciate that. I walked to the wrong side of the aisle. You walked out of the wrong side of the aisle. Where's the car? I said, I thought we were on the pharmacy side. This says grocery. You know, honey, we did park in front of the grocery side. Well, then we're a good dad.

You're a good dad, too, man. And I'm thankful for you. Derek, I'm thankful for you, chef. I'm thankful for you. Like, happy Thanksgiving. We're going to get into the lesson, but. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving.

Give me some turkey. That was so turkey. I was so gravy. You call it dressing or stuffing? What, hey, what are the PT6 who's talking about? Oh, yeah. That's right.

PT6, best way to cook a turkey. The YouTube post, we put a poll up. 145,000 people participated in this poll. Wait, really? 145. Do you relax?

Relax, come on. That's a long run and bit that I just felt. for. Yeah, we average about 8,000 views. 10,000 on a good week. 145. Are you being serious?

I was still on the other side of the Apple Beach. Yeah, still. You're a great dad. You're a great dad, man. You know what, though? You're a great dad. Good. I don't know if you're beating yourself up right now, but you are a good father.

Oh, man. But the pole was deep fried, baked, or smoked, or other. leave a comment on our latest episode to let us know. The poll results are in 145. 000. Thousand. 42% smoked.

Yeah. 42% smoked. So the smoked boys win. 32% deep fried. Ah! And 23% baked. Oh, chef. Chef, punching air.

Tells me enough that people don't know how to. And for all of y'all who do not believe in the traditional way, the way that our founding fathers saw when they said, let's make turkey on Thanksgiving. Mine's going into a salt brand tonight, and I'm going to show you guys what a good turkey looks like. Yeah. And maybe I'll convert a few.

There you go. So you believe, you want to stick to your guns. You want to believe in stag neromided about our forefathers and tradition. You believe in slavery? Oh, just make it insanely awkward. That'll be a conversation at a Thanksgiving dinner table. You talk about founding fathers.

Slavery? What do you do with that? The entire family that was sitting there watching us on Thanksgiving Day, they all just went, whoa! Oh, man. He just wants to bake a turkey.

Hey, what's this guy doing? You want to keep mom in the kitchen the whole time that you believe in gender rolls, too? We're a male cooking house. The Hanning household is a male cooking household. We break the norm. So your mom ain't good enough. I really don't know. I will be making a video on how to cook a turkey the right way.

And here's what I'll say. I've done deep fried and deep fried solid. I've done smoked. Really didn't like the smoked, but I blame the old man's Cajun seasoning on that. And also the Wednesday, the Wednesday night seeing all your friends from college. bad combo true true also uh just a quick tip out there i'm sure you you probably have more on the smoking

oh there is a comment right here a post on the best way to cook turkey this comment comes in from taylor souther 792 taylor southern taylor souther i'm sorry sweetheart i just see i don't know these letters um had a deep fry for the first time last year and buddy i do not eat turkey famously hated but fried is another beast i can't get enough and comments go on you got a pessimistic yes sir i'm sure others are great but we have been smoking them every year since we got the smoker and have no plans of going back got to brine it dry or wet too before smoking this is from paul and don't forget to spatch spatch pocket spatchcock it spatch it. Don't forget the Spatchcock.

It cuts that's smoking time and half. It does. Big Dino's injecting a butter marinade is awesome too. Blake City, turkey roll. Chris. Chris, on the grill. E.K., I don't

like turkey. Strong opinions. We couldn't find one comment. In the PT6 community. Not one talking about bake chef. I just want I want a clip of just out of context we'll read

comments because that I don't like turkey came out nowhere you're just reading I don't like turkey all right

it's great God that was funny it's a good turkey talk yeah I do have a follow up speaking of Charo I'm just going to go into this one

very brave this comes from Yoso Urquiche he's from Croatia Hey Willie one shelf and fat Stafford This is Croatian style Multiple years of picks

The one year Four turkeys, one goose and one duck It gives the crispy skin And smoke taste While roasting And our friend Yozo Or Jozo provided some pictures So I'm sure we'll

Put on the screen as well But it looks like he's just got charcoal Like a charcoal bed Or maybe even some wood logs and they're just doing a slow roast. That's a man right there, chef. You hoo!

A goose of duck. That is impressive. And four turkeys. I bet he'd dig a hole in roasted turkey. I'd dig a hole in roast of turkey. They'd do it inking style. Why, we get a video, you and Delaney? You out on Delaney's farm.

I did call Delaney. Delaney had stuff to do. Okay. So he calls you back? Yeah, he did. Love that. He called me back. I felt really bad because he was on set for something.

And I was like, oh, man. You mind if I go out to your farm, take a hole and roast the turkey? Boys are challenging me at four the dads right now. Oh, my gosh. Yes, but that was our turkey talk. I also, what's on your plate was a question that was thrown around. I can do a really brief what's on my plate.

It kind of can't go wrong in a lot of ways of Thanksgiving. Like turkey ham doesn't matter. throw both on the plate. Yeah. Stuffing. Corn. Some type of corn dish. You got the mashed potatoes.

You got the gravy. You're mixing it all together. To me, in my opinion, you got some great dinner rolls. My wife makes incredible, fat, full, filled with love,

dinner rolls, bro. Is she doing the yeast and all that herself? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, Charlie. She knocked it down. Okay.

And that's a Thanksgiving dish. I kind of hate when people are like all Thanksgiving and food and stuff overrated, blah, blah, one time I love it, man. I love it. I love the feeling of waking up, kind of starving yourself a little bit, salivating. When's it going to be ready? I smell the turkey. I smell this and that.

God, mixing it all together, getting some rolls and scooping it up in there. Maybe some cranberry sauce. I've recently came around a cranberry sauce. Not that I didn't like. I just never really tried it. When you get a good one, it's a game changer for sure. Desert? I'd love some desert

I love some pecan pie If it's chocolate chip pecan pie With vanilla ice cream That's that's game over Bro Charles made this Over the weekend We did a Thanksgiving at her parents Because her parents are going back in the Northeast

For Thanksgiving So we did a little Thanksgiving on Sunday Over at Lola and Opa's house And Shout out Charles made this pie Where it was like pecan Brown sugar cookie

pie where it had like chocolate chips in it. Dude. Oh my god. I mean, you get a scoop of vanilla ice cream with that. Yeah. Like, whatever you believe in. Jesus coming back, the end of the world, like, you can take me. Yeah. I'm good. Yeah. I'm good. You've seen the light. Yeah. Pekong pie to me is number one. Pecum pie to me is a good peach cobbler. I'm very big on peach pie. Yeah. Chocolate. It's a chocolate or pumpkin pie. I do like chocolate. I like chocolate.

I'll eat pumpkin pie with some whipped cream just to be in the theme of Thanksgiving. But if I got all those pies sitting there, I'm going to the pecan first. Yeah. Pecan, pecan, pecan, whatever you call it. I do have some, these are some non-traditional things that my mom likes to cook on Thanksgiving in addition to all your traditional stuff. So if any of these, strike anybody's fancy, you can throw it into the rotation. these are easy things to throw in.

Beef tenderloin. It's a little pricey. But when done right, it pairs very well with the turkey, I think, and all the other additional, like, traditional sides. The fixings. The fixings. Halapeno cheese grits.

So freaking good. That sounds great. Oh, my God. When you have, like, your traditional stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy with the, the jalapeno cheese grits, dude. Holy shit, my mouth is watering. She also does sweet potatoes, yams, and carrots,

slices all those, puts them in a little baking tray. You just slap some olive oil and salt and pepper, and you're done. Stick that in the oven. So good, dude. There's some marshmallows on top. If you're a big marshmallow guy, that would pair very well with that.

That would pair very well. Keep talking to me. Something she does that is so random, but I have loved it every year is she just gets this thick cut bacon and just does some oven baked bacon and just has it sitting there on a plate next to everything else. And I don't know why, but the bacon's always the first one to go. It's always the first one to go.

Bacon is just so easy to grab and get something in while you're in line. You know what I mean? Bacon comes out, you grab it, you eat it. It feels like it's, you know, this doesn't count. You would never, it's almost like she knows that I'm going to use it as a utensil each year for my jalapeno cheese grid. I'm using the bacon to, oh, dude.

And then she makes a great salad. It's just arugula, tomatoes, avocado, a little bit of pesto, tiny bit of pesto, a little bit of parmesan, and a nice little lemon vinaigrette. Dudeing, give me some deviled eggs. Ooh, deviled eggs. I feel like you love them or hate him. I love deviled eggs, bro. Done well, game changer. When you, you could tell he's from Texas.

You know why? Because he loves the comment, if done well. It's always bigger in Texas. Always better. Hey, you've done right. Oh, well, I'm not saying like Texas has a way of doing devil decks. He got this bravado, if done right. Well, it's like, uh, I actually agree with them.

If they're done wrong, it's not. It's as good. Oh, you know, I don't mean it that way. If you don't have a little paprika. It's got to have a little paprika, maybe some chives, maybe some bacon bits in there. I think it's phenomenal, but you get, you know, my, like I'm palat. I'm kind of like a little kid. I love some good cuisines, but you get me any version of deviled eggs.

I'm probably going to love it. Or I'm going to be excited to see it anyway. You come across a great one. Absolutely. I'm with you. Yeah. But when you say you've done right, you're almost like drawn a line. If not done right, you know, I ain't, I ain't, I'm above that.

I'm above that. If I bite into it. And I, what's the type of gas that's trapped in an egg? It's also in water, like water well. Hydrogen. It's not hydrogen. You'll like turn on your shower and sometimes it smells like eggs. But you got to get the water looked at, man.

Farts? Not carbon monoxide. Sulfur. When you get a, when you get, thank you, Derek. When you get a deviled egg that has that, like, sulfur smell and that sulfur taste to it, it's just kind of like, oh, man. That's all that's all I was referenced. Put you guys on to what I'm most excited about. It's not even Thanksgiving.

Friday, I'm going with one of my best friends to a place called Mad Max. They do a gobblerito. It is a Thanksgiving dinner in a burrito smothered with gravy. What? So everything from the plate wrapped up in this huge burrito with gravy. They only do it at Thanksgiving and then six months out from Thanksgiving. it's the greatest thing. And that's here in Nashville?

That is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'm sorry. Bring a couple back. It won't be as good, probably. Golly. That does sound good, man. Unreal. Because again, it's like you talk about all the OG stuff on a plate, everything else.

You don't know what everybody does. But it's like those family members who bring in those dishes, the little grits cassero, whatever you were talking about. You got just some hitters that you're so excited about to sit on the dinner table. Dude, God. Let's go, man. Get us into the lesson. Oh, I did have, I know I had a quick one.

We'll end with yours. You know, my wife texting me. Oh, we're good. Probably, wife talks me. Probably some bullshit. Yeah, probably some dumb. Shout out to why amy. No, it's you just sending me some thought bubbles.

Oh, good. We let each other know we're thinking. Oh, I'm thinking about each other. All right. So this one is just a question. quick one. Easy one I found on Instagram. And interestingly enough, comes after when I was talking about the whole Lane Kiffin saga last week. I'm getting the mail. Okay, be present, yada, yada, yada, yada. Oh, yeah. So found this one on Instagram. This one comes from C.S. Lewis said, children are not a

distraction from more important work. They are the most important work. In the end, the legacy that matters won't be what you built in the world. It will be who you raised and whether they felt. safe scene and loved in your presence. Just a simple little quote. Simple little thought provoker. Provoker starter. I love that thought. I also love that CS Lewis was good buddies with one of my favorite writers,

J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings guy. We love. Sherman loves some Lord of Rings. I like Lord of the Rings too. I can't recite it the way you can. You're a sicko for Ler Wings. Anybody that's boys with Tolkien is good by me. Oh, you know, Tolking.

He's good. Let him in. He's good. C.S. Lewis. All right. Bring him in. I love that quote. Love that quote.

I often think about what you said of all the little moments that you have to, like, teach a lesson instead of getting upset. That guy in the park. Yeah. Yeah. Think about how you want them to be in the next 30 years, not the next 30 seconds. Yes. It's always a banger, bro. I'm already training myself.

because Scarlett cannot talk. I cannot talk to Scarlett. I can, but she doesn't know what I'm saying. And I already find myself in those frustrating moments that I'm trying to coach myself of like, hey, these are those types of opportunities where you've got to talk it out. Yeah.

So I've started to- Hey, we've got to talk this out. You can't say, no, you're going to listen to Dad right now. She cries every time I take her home from daycare. And so I've started doing pep talks before I put her in the car instead of just putting her in. And I take her out of her stroller and I hold her and I give her a pep talk for about three to four minutes.

And we are two for two on no tears after the pep talks. Sweetheart, have you ever heard Man in the Arena? Let me read this to you before you get in the car seat. Do you know who Jocko Willick? Let me put you on game, honey. I wrote a thankful letter or a thankful note that I was going to read. Let me buckle in here. Yes, you buckle in.

Because we went around and we said what we're thankful for on the bus. I had a very lackluster answer. I felt like I just kind of like spouted something off. So I wanted to say what I was thankful for. Because I have also not been a thankful boy of late. I am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of the show. I truly don't know how I would be going about dad life without a place to discuss things. and people to learn and hear from

that constantly promote growth of character, of skill, and paternal swagger. I am so thankful for my wife, Jillian Young. I love you so much. And you are the absolute heartbeat of our household. Hearing Scarlett's Cues as you wake her up with Good Morning, my love, is music to my soul.

Thank you for being so understanding and loving and gracious as a partner and a teammate. Thank you for challenging me because we all know I need it. Thank you for always having a spark and fervor to live life as an adventure to my sweet scarlet girl. My favorite parts of my day are seeing your smile in the mornings when I wake you up from your crib and at night hearing your breaths grow long and slow with your head buried into my neck or chest.
