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.

Cause at the end of the day... us dads have no idea what we're doing.   Alongside Will is his producer Sherman Young, a soon-to-be dad who’s currently enjoying his last few months of uninterrupted sleep and freedom. Together, they’ll break down everything that can go right and wrong (...usually wrong) when you bring tiny humans into this world.   Expect funny parenting stories, laughs, call-ins, advice, weekly themes, and the kind of conversations you’d have over a cold beer in the garage. Whether you’re raising teens or still Googling “how to install a car seat”, For the Dads is the ultimate podcast for dads who are in it, about to be in it, or just trying to do their best while screwing it up along the way.   -----   FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram:   / Forthedadspod  Twitter:   / Forthedadspod Facebook:   / Forthedadspod TikTok: / Forthedadspod   LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify   -----   SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Wayfair - Get organized, refreshed, and back to routine for way less.

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

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

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you. you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Winning on Clay is an art. The rallies are relentless. And at the French Open, only the toughest survive. I'd know. I competed there for decades. Join me, Renee Stubbs, on the Renee Stubbs' tennis podcast for no nonsense breakdowns of the biggest matches, the toughest players, and the moments that define Roland Garris. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any

surface. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcasts on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHart Women's Sports. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

All we ask in return is that you simply subscribe to our channel that you simply follow us on social media app for the dead's pod follow us on apple follow us on spotify Spotify now their platform is evolving into a little bit of a social media s buffam i see that there's comments now on spotify but all you got to do on

spotify is hit the follow button that would really help out the boys a lot and if you if you really want to be a pt6 sicko and you want to solidify yourself in the rank of pop a team six Or maybe you're in Buds trading right now, which is breeding until dad status. Or you're on Milk Team Six. We're going to read a couple comments from Milk Team Sixers out there, the moms. WTB.com. Hats. Hoodies.

We had new hoodie dropped this week. Matter of fact, Cooper, Comstock, or Graphics Designer, he was just in here feeling me up. Legend. This is his favorite hoodie you've seen. He actually wants to buy his dad. So, spoiler alert, if Papa Coop is out there watching. He wants to get you this hoodie, which is embroidered. No way.

Got Dad across the chat. the colors, navy blue, red cream, the BWTB etched on the side. But that is how you become a true PT6 sicko. That's how you truly solidify yourself in the Papa Team 6 regime. Because again, we have PT6 shirts. They're being shown out there, guys, we love it. Yes. We love it.

We love it. And if there's anything that, not that I pride myself on, but I really try to do, is if there is a product that we are pushing and I really love it, I try to really be like, hey, this is a good product. product and the hoodie. I put a tweet out and I was like, I know that this is our podcast, obviously, but that thing is comfy. It is comfy.

This is, ain't no cheap shit on this on this hoodie. On this hoodie. This is a durable, super comfortable, embroidered hoodie. We also got the penance behind Shirm that you can cop. We got the onesies. We got onesies out that we just drop with just good. God, I forgot about the onesies. Yeah.

Should we tease? Shout out Jockel Willing. Shout out Jacob Willick. Should we tease what else might be coming out with good? Because there's been some conversations, correct, Chef, on another good product that might be coming soon? That's correct. Do we want to tease it right now?

Listen, you know Willie One shelf. I'm trying to catch up right now. What exactly are we teasing with the good? It fires me up. I say, go ahead and tease it. You're teasing me. I'll act it out as he describes it, and then we'll see if you can guess it.

Okay. If you're listening on audio, this would be a great time to tune in to YouTube. I would turn it up. I would turn it up. I'm currently described. Oh, Shirm is. Burbcloths. Burb clause.

Burb clause. Dude, I am. I'm solid. Like, we'll catchphrase that's that you can use words, but like charades. If you get a little family game night going on, you are good at charades. You are competitive. We did that one Friday stream. we used to do the back of the bus

Friday. We did what was it? Salad Bowl. Yes. Which is like of foremost charades for anybody that's ever heard of salad bowl. You were cooking. Who was your teammate? Oh no. You were like an all-time quarterback. Like you were on everybody's team. You were a beast as well, Sherm.

Come on. Come on. I'm good at acting, not as good at guessing. If you're going to be a dad and you still got that competitive nature in you, you have to be good at game nights. Yeah. I think it's a pre-re prerequisite. Were you all doing game nights

when you were like a kid? Or was that a later in life thing? Game nights like family game nights? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, we would do, we would do like, you know, me and the boys. Like we'd be playing Pokemon Monopoly,

you know, you'd be playing Clue, Stratigo, guess who? God, guess who was so electric? Checkers. There's this little race car game that we would play. It was phenomenal.

What type of... No, I forget, what it is, but it's kind of like a roll. It's kind of like a, you know, spin the wheel, dice roll. Oh, okay, okay. Spinning the wheel, what's it called? Life. Did you ever have the racetracks with the gun of, like, it, the gun basically made the car go fast whenever you pulled the trigger and it's 2V2, like hot wheels? No, dude. It's, it's kind of like hot wheels, but it's, like, you basically have to gauge the speed on the straightways and, like, release the speed when your car goes into the turn because if you hold the trigger down on the turn,

you're going to be banging up against the walls. I was a Hot Wheels guy, like you'd have the ones, but I didn't like where it'd be like automatic to where they're doing the loops and going to run the track. I wanted like side by side, you let the cars go down the hill or whatever the track is, and I would take all my cars. And we wrestled growing up.

So I loved brackets for whatever reason. I love tournaments. So I would like stack and seed all of these cars. and just do a massive tournament just by myself. Build out headlines and storylines in my head. This might be the worst advice that I ever give you as a fellow dad. But there are people on TikTok live, absolute hot wheel sickos that do exactly what you're describing right now.

And they do tournament brackets and they do it on TikTok live. And I have fallen down that rabbit hole so many times. Got a favorite car? They do. They keep the score. And it's like... As they should. Batmobile has 20 wins.

Dude, who's the speed racer? Speed racer car had like eight wins. I love that. Oh, it's electric. But the parents would always be playing like, you know, like rummy or some shit. They'd have like an adult little game. Oh, yeah, yeah.

They'd be playing cards and stuff like that. But, you know, that was like over... Or what is it called phase 10? Is that a style? Is that a style? Is that sound right? Got a new social guy. His name is Derek.

We got a new social guy. His name is Derek. Say shout out Derek in the chat. Shout out Derek. Never played phase 10, but it's in that pile of dad and mom games that I wasn't allowed to touch as a kid. Exactly. I was always right there.

Exactly. Never able to grab onto it. And you knew when they were playing, you couldn't bother them. No, not at all. And they kept score and they made up the scores every time. I don't know who was winning, but they didn't celebrate like they did. Just kept going with it. They just look awesome at their table.

I had to get a picture. Oh, you took a photo of them? Yeah. Please put up the picture. That's a great dad move too. You just see a moment happening. You just want to snap a photo. We got Derek's first time on the mic.

I wish that we had chef's first time on the mic. But we got a lot of picks of chef. We could have some new viewers and listeners tuned in. We should probably break down. Oh, Pinnett just fell down in the back. And it still looks good. It does still look good. No.

Lean like that. It still look good. I'll build a, I'll build a shelf for it. I'll hang a show. We got it. For least I could do, Willie One Shell. We could do that after this recording. I actually have my drill and I have some screws.

We could have old Willie One Shell redeem himself. Well, what I was going to say is there could be new viewers tuned in that, you know, I gave him a little bit of what we talk about at the top of the show, but we go over dad losses, things we'd crack a cold one to, or ups and downs of fatherhood. I already mentioned the hotline. We got Dad hacks. We got survival kits, which, by the way, I'm going to have to lean on some dads for a dad hack myself. So I'm going to be asking the audience here in a little bit.

Should we hit comments? I would love to hit comments. Dude, let's hit comments. I'm a little bit frustrated because I meant to go onto Apple Podcasts because I found some comments on Apple Podcasts. I haven't even dove on that platform yet. That fires me up. They're shouting into the ether because, like, who leads Apple? But some of the Apple podcast comments are heat.

Yeah. I wish that I'd pulled it up. But just a... I wish that I had pulled it up. A blanket statement, shout out PT6, sickos that commented on Apple Podcasts. You love to see, too, the Pt Sixers are getting so confident in who they are that I've been seeing people do like just their own post shouting out for the dads. Yes. You see that one family photo?

They just had their second one. I bookmarked it so I can pull it up, but they just had their second one. But he's like, if you're not tuned in for the dads, you're missing out, like all this stuff. Like, giving those shoutouts. I'm telling you, it warms the boy's hearts. It does. We shared in the group chat. We need to start screenshoting the group chat whenever we send stuff to each other that's like, gets us juiced.

Because there are multiple times that we'll send something and be like, I cannot believe this is real. Right. Like those sickos that created that group chat on Instagram with you and me. Yeah. But how do we open up that group chat to any Pt6? So the chat is called Pt6 Sickos. And Sherm's in the lure. Like Sherm is a, he'll dive in.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has a Reddit lore going on out there. This is a guy who dives in rabbit holes. He's on all the message boards. He's tapped into everything underground, under the table. And he sent me a screenshot that on Instagram, there was a chat that was made called PT6 Sickos. And they're just dropping us a bunch of sick AI graphics and photos of the Papa Team Six Bears. Not even trying to get hired. They're doing it for the love of the game.

Yeah. What was it? Raccona bin Laden. They're creating like some of the moments that we've talked about. And I'm like, how do we open this up to all the sickos that want to be involved in this? Yes. That would be a better question for you. Maybe that's some Facebook chat or something.

I don't even know how that works. Maybe we could do a Facebook group. I brought up Reddit, but I forgot what it was something about we couldn't do Reddit. We can't do. We can't naturally make a Reddit. We can't naturally make a Reddit. There's some sickos out there, big Redditors. Why can't we naturally make a Reddit?

Reddit. It's like an unofficial official law of Reddit where like it can't be used for marketing purposes. Like we can't go, oh let's create. Like our brand can't stand up before the dad's Reddit for marketing. Once they get any sniff of oh let's secretly have chefs start one

and then oh we'll throw in some topics to get the people talking they'll be like uh-uh this feels very like so even if someone if a sicko out there makes one we can't pin a comment that we could interact with it but we can't help drive it so what you're saying is this is where the pt sixers see an opportunity to just make their Reddit page and they're the ones driving

they're the ones driving it like we can't lead it we can't can't can we interact with it willie one shelf can only plug the A gap so much we need Pt6 sickos to begin plugging the A gap now So Will Compton, can I have a Reddit page and interact? Yeah. You can have a Reddit profile and, you know, somebody is putting pictures and blah, blah, and you can be like, dude, what a sicko. Okay. I know people out there on Reddit are just like Will has, what questions are these days?

Like, of course you can make a profile. Yeah, you can make a profile. But that would be fun. If we get it, if there's a Reddit, there's a, listen, the PT-6ers, the sickos want to make a Reddit out there. could be something we lean on as like another message board because I just I mostly rocked the YouTube comments yeah and for everybody listening to like just this is a this is a tip for the PT sixers for the dad's listeners dad hack little hack so to speak okay we record our episodes right

now we're in the cadence of recording on Fridays which by the way happy pizza Friday happy pizza Friday. So episode releases every Wednesday, 6 a.m. in the morning. We record the episode for the next week on Friday. So there's about a 48-hour window to where we will gather the information or comments that have been laid out. Only, you know, those couple days is all you have. So if you leave one, you know, in the weekend or going into the next week, they're going to miss the episode. We would have to circle back to them after the fact. So if you're, watching and listening right now. And you do, if you got a banger out there that you want to be seen or, hey, why have

they, I thought I laid a nice little comment out there. If you do it in those first 48 hours, that's your best opportunity. That's a great half. Yeah, we record on Fridays. And we need to figure out when we're going to record for next week because you travel. I know. Next week's a big week. Next week is a very exciting week.

Like football season's kicking off. I saw somebody in the locker room saying too. So we're getting busting with the boys on Tuesdays. We got the locker room and for the dads on Wednesdays. Lockroom college football on Wednesdays. Lockroom NFL on Thursdays. Inside the bus on Thursdays. Inside the bus on Thursdays or Fridays.

But yeah, the boys are going to be rolling basically all week long on our programming. So if you're a fan of busing with the boys, all of the content we put out, we're going to be in a pretty strong cadence throughout the entire football season. I'm a little nervous about a pod taking a hit because it'll be football season. we need the PT Sixers to stand strong. Yeah, the Sunday late night, late night radio might have to come back. What does that mean? Before the dads.

Like, those Sunday. Oh, us recording on Sundays. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, if we switch to we're recording, all I'm saying is if you want your stuff to be seen and potentially talked about on our show, we record on Fridays after the, you know, the most recent Wednesday release. So you got about 48 hours if you're trying to get to us.

One that I'll start off with. Martha Byrne, E51. This is a Milk Team 6 operator here. I'd like to issue a Bravo Zulu to Sherm in one shelf for fully indoctrinating my husband on a PT6. My favorite is one, it's his turn to change a blowout. And all I hear up in the changing room is good. I'm so stoked about that comment, but I'm so heartbroken because I had Martha's comment. right there at the top.

We should collect. We should do a better job of our pre-pro meetings. You're fine. You're fine. I got a lot, though. I was screenshotting a lot. You know it's a good comment, though, if that's your first one, and that was my first one, too. So, well done, Martha.

And I googled, I didn't know what Bravo Zulu meant, and it's military jargon for well done. It's a little code there. A little Bravo Zulu. Well done. Well done. Go ahead, rip one. Oh, ripping.

This is where we play off. just now you're rolling now will i saw this other comment andrew creep 7 575 said need a camo pt6 hat for hunting season not only do i love that comment chef love that comment poke me on the shoulder uh what yesterday and said did you see that camo hat comment it's like sure fucking day you see that camo we started sending back and forth some camo patterns got us a little excited I knew when I saw that one, I go, Sherm's going to want to,

Sherm's going to want to see that one. Oh, yeah. I pop a Sherm. Sherman Young Senior. Sherman Young Senior would love to see that one. Oh, yeah, buddy. Willie Senior would, or Willie Jr. would love that one. God, that's crazy that you're the third.

If you and the boys ever need a fourth when you're a man down, I'm a PubG OG veteran, PT6 out. By the way, he's talking about PubG. Jared, before we started the show, came and tapped me on the show. Did he tell you the good news?

This is how, for the females out there, for the wives and women that have a man that love gaming. They love gaming with the boys. The men watching this will understand what I'm about to describe. But here's a little insight for the females watching on how our brains work and how this excites the piss out of us. So I'm sitting here and Jerry comes up. It's like, hey, I just got the phone.

I just want to check in before you start for the dads. And I'm like, yeah, what's going on? Is everything all right? He's like, hey, my mom just called.

Whenever you need me, it can be 2 p.m. on a Saturday. I know you got the kiddos, but I'm just letting you know that I'm ready to operate on PubG at any point this weekend because I got the house to myself. And we start dapping up. And he's like, my mom's all good, though.

My wife and my daughter, Scarlett, you know, we're traveling to Texas for Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately, they'll be staying in Texas for a whole other week. So I'll be home alone for that next week. No. I know. So I'll be really bored.

No. We're in the early parts of the episode. Have we gone long enough to where I can cuss? I think so, but we do go... Just to... We got to pace ourselves because we got to keep it under her now.

That is true. So I won't officially cuss, but I did. She told me the terrible news. I went, fuck. Are you serious? What'd she say when you did that? She said, well, it's only seven days.

Seven days? You're taking Scarlet with you for seven days? I just, I know you said that. I just want to be clear. You're taking the kid with you? So it's just going to be me, huh? You're leaving old dad all owned by himself. Golly.

That's one where you got to go, you got to go to your knees. Honey, please. Hey, wait. Tell me the news. Tell me the news. Okay. You come in, your, you're Jill. I'll be you.

So, yeah, when you fly back on Monday, we're actually not flying back. I thought it would be good if I spent like a week with my family, you know, and they got to hang out with Scarlet. What? What? You're leaving the house for an entire week? Yeah. Oh, honey. What?

Did you have something planned? No, I just, I, contrary to how you feel, I love you. I love you. being around you. I love, I love, I love, I love fathering Scarlet. And you're telling me you're going to be gone for seven days. It's just seven days. Oh, Will, Will, you can hang out with your friends. Maybe y'all play that video game sometimes. I guess. I mean, they're busy, but I, I'll tap in with them. I'll see. They got lives too. And it's not like, I don't love, I know you think I love the game, but I don't love the game that much.

to where it's like, oh, my family's leaving town for seven days. I wish you were staying in town the whole time. Like, that's boring to me. You're kind of leaving me on an island. I get that. I just thought, you know, that's something that would excite you. Pendulum swing so far. Oh, you know what?

Maybe I can. No, no. No, no. You go, because you, you're right. You've got to see your family. Your family wants to see this baby girl as much as we do. No, really? We could just do three days.

No, please. Please. Now I feel bad. Now I feel bad. I'll call the guys right now. And I'll just say, hey, I'm going to need some support throughout the week. I want to be on Uber Eats heavy. I'm not going to know what to make for myself.

I'll get the PB&J's rocking. Trust me, I'll handle it. My health will diminish from it, but you go do your thing with your family. Hey, speaking of PB&J's, there's a great comment. I think I have it written down here somewhere if I can't find it. But basically this dude, oh, here it is. This is from BMA 88. He said, boys, I'm in the trenches this week.

wife is mad at me because I ate all the peanut butter last night and now the kids can't have PB and J for lunch. Good. I was like, that's the most dad. That's the most dad move because you got it. When that happens, it's like,

oh shit, yeah, they are. Why did I eat the last of the peanut butter? I love that he said he finished the peanut butter last night. You know that boy wasn't making a sandwich. He was just spooned it. Yeah,

he was spooned it. Oh, but that was from Brian Metcalf. Legend. Legend. I got another one from a former equipment manager. Oh, Sean Lawson,

257. New dad of 11-month-old boy, former equipment manager, two years at K-State. Got him one in the Big 12 this year. Then two years of sports nutrition for K-State and one-year sports nutrition at Nebraska. Got them going 10 plus.

Lock that in on the Fandoz Sportsbook as soon as you can. GBR. All I will say is nothing means more than when the athletes show love to the support staff. Love the pod. Keep it up. Dude, that gets me stoked. And our boy, the Arkansas equipment manager,

DM me. He said, hey, what's a good address? I gave him the PO box address. He's going to ship us a bunch of swag, Arkansas swag. I was like, bro, you're way too kind. The Arkansas was at C-U. Suee. Oh, Suee.

Soooey. And then they did. Pig-suie. Two more times. Pig-suie. for all the I think Arkansas is going to have it. I think Arkansas is going to have a tough year.

Six hours in the trenches, cutting, painting, sweating it out, and the 112 degree Phoenix Arizona heat. I've been in that heat. It's a real heat. A dry heat, but a real one. Mission complete. I'm feeling like a tier one operator until the misses returns from her R&R and calls an audible on the entire layout. Orders are clear. Scrap and redo. Good. In all caps. God. And I'm over here.

Talking about hanging a shell. Yeah, I hear a story like that. I'm on Instagram last time I'm scrolling, and I see this one dad just building a complete fucking slide in the backyard from start to finish. All wood. Land everything. He's making these creative, awesome Instagram reels about how he builds all this shit for his kids.

And I'm like, God, damn, he's just running laps on me right now. I kind of had it quickly. Yeah. I've spared you from the voicemails, but we've had some dads calling with... Don't spare me. Let me get verbally assaulted on a voicemail if you need to. These dads got to get something off their chest. I've gotten a little soft.

Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a...

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

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

But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

It's part of what we do. You got to put, you got to be vulnerable. You got to talk about your low moments. You can't define me by one moment. You can't define me by one moment. Hey, but you got a really good. nickname out of it. And there may be like bad connotation,

but the denotation of Willie One Shelf is pretty sick. It's kind of like a mafia. Like, oh, that's a old Willie One Shelf. Yes, too. It'd be something you'd hear in Goodfellas. Yeah. Doing the little, the Copacabana.

It's not Copacabana. That scene where they're doing the one take. You got Tommy two time. Because he says everything two time. Willie One Shelf. Yes. Willie One Shelf, if you were to tell me, if I got in trouble and somebody said, just wait until Willie One Shelf gets here, I'd be like, fuck, dude.

Why they call him a one show? And look, these dads, they can jump at me. They can verbally attack me, but there's a group of dads out there that don't like the manual labor. Yeah. I got to stand up and speak for him. What are you doing this weekend? Like, truthfully, are you super busy this weekend? Mm-mm.

More so family, it's one where you're like laying bed and you're like, hey, you talk to the missus, like, what do we want to take the kids? So I want to say Rue is doing, she has ballet, I believe, on Saturday. She starts that back up again. But yeah, the world is our oyster. I was just wondering, your boy's going to be in the trenches. I'm redoing, this all reminded me that I'm actually redoing our closet at our rent house because all the original shelves that were put in were like lightweight, like dorm room,

college kid type shelves. And they've all one night. I went, I'll take a picture of it. It's actually insane. So you're going to be in it. I'm going to be in it. I'm going to be in the trenches. I was going to shoot it. I was going to shoot an invite and be like, hey, if you want to pop over, I could show you a thing or two. I'm not a pro. I'm out. Okay. That's okay. Repairing a closet for those reasons. I'm out. That's okay. You're Willie Wood Show. Yeah. You need a shelf to hang or you want to hang a picture. But I am technically hanging a shelf in the closet.

We'll see what's up. I digress. You know what? Maybe people hear this. Crazy. Well, can't be a homie for the boy, for the boy Sherm.

And then maybe I'll just pop over. I pop over. I'm like, hey, dude, you're coming to help me. I'm like, no, no, we're just, well, I'm here to get a photo. Hey, get this photo of me. That's actually what I was just implying by it. It's like you coming over and like doing two screws and be like,

You know, Willie oneself got it. Just, ugh, fuck. That was a day, buddy. I got to get home. And then I have a laser leveler, too. It would have made you look so official, just doing the laser level around that. Yeah, you're always the one building and screwing and stuff, and I'm just kind of standing back. And that's a little uneven.

You need a different screwdriver. Just keep handing you different tools. All you need in life is a high-vis vest, a clipboard, and just stand 20 feet back from everybody else. and just cock your head a little to the side and you're gold. Dude, I saw this, I sent Charles, this funny video, this gal made on Instagram,

and they're sitting here. They are cheersing, like having a wine. Yeah. Toasting glass and then the caption over it, it's from the girl, and her caption over it says, he doesn't know it yet, but we have to put the duvet on before bed.

Nothing will chat my ass more. Please. Send that TV so I can send it to it to chill. Okay. Nothing will trap my ass more than when you're getting ready for bed. Yeah. And all of a sudden, we got to swap the sheets out. Yeah. Or hey, this new duvet cover came in. We got to put it on. And you're just like, can we just get in bed? You know, it's even worse is it's 7.30-ish. You just had the most amazing dinner. You just watched the most amazing movie. You've been horizontal on the couch.

And you're like, ooh, I'm a sleepy boy. I'm turning into a sleepy boy. I'm going to go. hit the bathroom back in the bedroom. You're walking to the bathroom and you see the bed with no, it's completely stripped. She didn't even warn you. Yeah. And you're just like, oh. But you know it as you're going to take a piss and you're kind of thinking how the conversation might go like while you're peeing. Yes. Like let me get my attitude right. Like let me ask what happened. And you're thinking, I'm thinking in my head as I'm peeing, I'm like, oh well, it'll probably be, you know, hopefully they're dry by now. But then all of a sudden I started listening. I really open my ears up and I hear the do do do do do do.

I'm like, they're still drying right now. We're still drying. What gets me? I love you, honey. Yeah. Thank you for watching. I love you, sweetheart. But what gets me is when you, what you just explained like, say 730, but let's say it's

9 o'clock and you kind of kids are down. You've executed. Yeah. You've executed. You've watched a show. And you've watched one episode because you're, both tired. You're both sleepy. And 9, 9.30 rolls around. And you're like, dude, let's go, let's go get in bed. Let's have a next episode in bed. Whoa. We have a TV in the room.

Oh, okay. But it'll be, we'll save the episode. However, the picture on painting is you're excited, like we're going to get some really good sleep. And my nighttime routine, pre-bed routine is a lot quicker than my wife. She's got all the, she does all the face cleaning stuff, got all the, all the different bells and whistles that she goes through in her routine her routine takes about 20 minutes

or I'll brush my teeth I wash my face might put a little something on if I got like a little zip popping up let me just put this little thing right there

but I'll go laying in bed I will get in bed underneath the covers and I'll be laying there just doing some little doom scrum before the wife he gets in because I mean she comes in

I'm like oh let's get the photo now let's see we can let's see so you're just a demon at all times It depends on the situation. But if we're in the fourth quarter and we've got a two-minute drill coming.

But she'll stand up and be like, hey, do you mind switching the sheets out before we get bed? I'm in bed. What are we doing? We have changed the sheets. It's been, what, four days? I lied about that part. Usually we go, I forget how long we go.

I don't even know how long we go. But that's what chaps, my ass, is when you're in bed. Hey, sweetheart, we got to change your seats Jill. Why do we got to change them? You see that I'm underneath your covers. You're literally in bed. Jill and Charo have had some interaction but a very small amount

and it scares me those two getting together because every single story that you describe of Charo you are literally describing Jill. We got to get them on the bar. They are extremely similar. All the boys out there just like, you do that too. And I'm nervous now because they're going to get together.

That's the worst thing that could ever happen for us. Yeah. Sorry, there's like, it's like the missiles and gunfires going off in my head. All we have to do is just maintain the like sweet, dumb golden retriever type personality and frame of like what we are to them. You know what I mean? We really got to lean into that because they're going to get together. and they're going to be like, Sherman's such an idiot. He freaking does this.

He poops his pants sometimes. That's how the girls connect. They just started using idiot stories. Like, his dudes and tell me. Oh, Will still pisses the bed. So, yeah, they're very similar. They can't control their bowel in. Yeah.

Oh, God. Yeah. We're in trouble. Yeah, we should, yeah, we should, we got to get the fans together. I do have one more because I want to get to a question for you. Please. Please. San Antonio Wildlife.

Wife is on the Pupp list for two more weeks, boys. Now the key is to make it last more than 30 seconds. Hey, somebody said, congrats Sherman. This was on Twitter. Congrats Sherman for a wife coming off the Pup list. Hashtag, keep it under an hour. Buddy, we won't have any problem. Yeah, that message right there from San Antonio Wildlife,

you ain't going past 30. just let you know it's going to be disappointing it's going to be disappointing to a spot to where you're actually going to tell your wife sorry but you got a reminder like I got to build this stamina back up so we just got to you know

Get out in front of it. Get out in front of it. And I won't deny it at all. Won't deny it at all. I never was like that guy. Dude, that's the thing that takes me back to high school, dude. I just laugh now, remember in those guys in the locker room that when you're like a little freshman, the seniors and juniors are talking,

me and the girlfriend did it you know probably like six times last night you're like what's it in six times what thinking back on that like is it going to fall off like what is going on right now

also that poor girl like what in the world yeah yeah we should probably you know this a kid show this is a how but where we're at like We got to keep it under an hour. Are we at 15?

We haven't even got into our death. Are we at 15 minutes? No, we're at 10. 10. We're at 10 minutes. Baylor Auburn weekend. By the time this comes out and drops on Wednesday, it will be. College football seasons upon us.

Nebraska versus Cincy tomorrow at Arrowhead Thursday night kicking it off. You got Baylor Auburn over the weekend. Yeah. Wifee comes off the Puppel list over the weekend at that game, that night, that day. Good. Wife is activated. Very first drone show ever in Baylor history that night. Good.

First time Scarlett's going to be out, 50,000, 60,000. Loud. Good. Good. Build up her immune system. Good. She's going to cry and probably you're going to have to think about leaving the game early. Good.

Thought about that. Check the stadium website. Made sure there's a little mama and baby room that mama could go in there and pat her butt so we don't have to leave too early. Good. Mama's going to be pissed off thinking, we need to leave right now, but he wants to say at this goddamn game. She's going to be mad at you.

Good. Is that his 18th beer? What the hell are we doing? I thought you would grow up eventually good. I'm not going to do that, sweetheart. I love you. I'm not going to do that. I am fired up for you, Scarlet's.

Scarlet, first game, first experience with her. I am so juice. And I've truly had to fight myself for every single crack of cold one could be looking forward to that game. Like, I feel like I've broadened that game up way too much on the show. And so I'm just trying to chill on it. But, oh, my God. I was talking about.

my dad. I'm just like so excited. I was talking to it on the phone this morning. I'm like, I'm just geeking out for it's going to be so fun. Her outfit came in the mail. I'll, I'll picture of her outfit right there. That's a crack of cold one too. It's just the father, son dynamic when son is now dad and you guys are just having conversations about their grandkid. And I love it too because it doesn't feel like a whole lot of I told you so. And you probably feel the same way with your dad of like there's not much like micromanaging because he never had a girl and you were all boys too right yeah my dad tried pulling the whole you dropped you off in school like that you ain't dropped me off of shit yeah you dropped me up in school on day one we had a nice we shared a

nice laugh a nice belly laugh yeah but yeah there's not a lot i told you it's just them like you know when's an opportunity where i can come see the little one exactly like my dad just loves hearing scarlet stories because he never had a girl. And so just like all the little bud. Oh, you, oh, the bows came in. How many bows does she? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We got to get more bows than that. Yeah. You know, he's juiced. They just, and being a grandparent, too, they just get to spoil them. And again, yeah, like, I was one of three boys, so there was no girl. And so my dad, like, you know, seeing Rue and talking about how big they're looking. I need videos. Look how much. Look at her calves. She's going to be an athlete. All of those types of things. But that's a great crack of cold one is the the father's son, mom daughter,

father daughter, mom's son dynamic when they have when they're talking about the grandkids. That's a good crack of cold one. Yeah, dude. And just looking forward to, oh my gosh, the animal face paint. Like I want to find all those things at, uh, in Waco on Friday. Like all the little kid activities and stuff. Like there's been a couple face paint opportunities for Roo, but she's sketched out by the face. I can't get her talked into it yet, bro. Have you done it yourself? Have not yet.

That's what it's going to come down to. Get a, dude, get a wolf. Oh, yeah. Paint the entire face. Yes. Because you're right. That's what it's going to take. Ruru, look at that.

Aura. I'll tell you, transitioning into a dad loss. And this is where I can lean on the parents out there that have kiddos in school, especially in that toddler face. Yeah. We're in week two of school with Rood Night Now, and she's crushing it. It's been all time. But the mornings before school, I would categorize in just the dad loss because I would love some dad hacks from the audience out there.

The parents that are well-versed and how to get a good routine going because Ruby and three, it's like the toddler, they want their own independence and freedom. It's like all day long, hey, put on your shoes, brush your teeth. You got to brush your hair. Wear this outfit. Try and talk him into that outfit. it go do this, go do that. They just get told kind of what to do. So they're big at saying no a lot.

Yeah. And Rue's got a little, you know, she can, you sit there and you got to go with her. She'll get the hands on the hips. Oh. Oh, she'll get the hands on the hips talking to you. Oh. Yeah. You got to be careful laughing too.

You know, you got to be careful like holding in the laughter because it's like, you ain't listening to me right now. Uh-huh. Yeah. And the morning routine before school, it's like you're just, you're like in a constant rush. Uh-huh. Like, Sweetheart, I want to play with the ball.

I want to play ball with you. I want to get you to try to dribble the ball six times. I'm making you breakfast. I'm trying to make your lunch right now. And Mama's messing with Scotty. Like, we're trying to get you going. We only got so much time for it. We got to get your shoes on.

We got to get you to school. And it's just like a constant. I need you to eat your breakfast, sweetheart. You got to eat your breakfast. I don't like chicken sausage anymore. Well, guess what? Since I know that now that you don't like chicken sausage, all of a sudden, you used to love it.

Once you eat this chicken sausage, I won't ever make again for you. And then you'll go hungry. See how you like that? Yeah. We'll get you yogurt tomorrow. You've had yogurt three days this week already. I don't like you.

Yeah. Oh my God. Bro, the one thing that Rue does that I love is when she adjusts her hair, she uses the back of her hand. Yeah. I've never seen that before and I love it. Constantly, bro. Hey, and she's kind of like me in a way to where

it's like, again, he's a little bitch made story. But I'm not like, like, I don't like getting my hands too, like in the mix of like dirtiness. Oh, like I keep my, like if I want, like when I take a bite, I need my hands clean. I need them wiped off. I can't just continue to go. I always want to wipe my face. I always want to keep everything off like my face and everything else. That makes sense.

And Roo's very much like particular like that. Always needs a napkin. Need a napkin. Okay, God damn. I'll get you the napkin. It's not that bad. It's just right here. Just wipe it off.

Or use your shirt or your pants. So daddy used to do for decades. But, yeah, it's so funny when she's like, always needs her hair out of her face. She's always doing the back hand. Like playing football, like, if I could in between every play, I would take my helmet off and just wipe my face. Oh, really? Like, it's like, anytime I feel something like sweat or anything coming down my face, I just want it to be, like, dry. I come off on the side.

I'm always, like, taking my helmet off. All the time. Yeah. As much as possible to, like, wipe my face off. And I feel like Roo kind of has it. Because she's like that with the helmet on buckling for the scooter. It's got to be done a certain way. She's got to have the hair out of the face.

I hated long hair in sports. And obviously, I didn't make it past a high school level. But just like high school sports, I had to have a short haircut. Any type of, even if it's hair right there, I just drove me crazy. Yeah. Could not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But the morning routine.

Yeah. Gotta dial in the morning routine. If parents got any tips or hacks out there. Dude, that's more just like, she's like, I want to sit on the couch. No, you can't sit on the couch. Or what was it this morning? It was like I was making, that was the ball situation this morning. I'm like, sweetheart, you got to eat your breakfast.

I need you to eat your breakfast. And she was like, you know, she's, I'm bouncing. I'm dribbling the ball. I'm juggling the ball. I'm doing it three times. Okay, sweetheart. Breakfast ain't even ready yet. Good morning.

First off, good morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you. Play for a little bit, but when this, when it's ready, I need you to eat this. Yeah. And then it was, mom was making her a cassidia, a chicken cheese cassidia for lunch. And then she gets up and she's like, you know, does the whole, I don't like chickens sausage thing.

And she's like, I want a cassidia. And we're like, that's for lunch, sweetheart. You can't. The cassidia is for lunch. You do the chicken sauces now, but now that I know you don't like it, I won't make it for you ever again. You used to love it. You loved it as of right now.

And then when she gets. in case it is she takes a bite and she gets off the thing and she's like i'm going to go get the ball like i need to i need to cool off she said i need to cool yeah i need to cool off i'm going to go get the ball and i'm like all right well you get the ball she's like the ball's got to eat with me i'm like all right go get the ball and come back up here no i'm the ball i want the ball to sit with me on the couch i'm like you're not going to the couch you're eating your breakfast she's she looks at me and i start like walking she's like walking towards the couch i start walking toward the couch she starts running toward the couch i'm like you're not

sitting on the couch she gets on the couch and I grab her she starts losing and starts throwing a tantrum because she wants to sit on the couch on the ball and it's like you gotta eat your breakfast because we're gonna have to go here within 15 minutes

Is there still chicken sausage on the stove? No, not on the stove It's on her plate. It's ready to go. And she's having a tantrum so I got a, I'm thinking to myself,

okay, good, good, good. We're in it right now. We're in it right now. How do I de-escalate this situation? Because I just raced her to the couch and I just grabbed her off the couch. So I got it right here. I take her into the back closet,

like go through my room, go to the beach, go to the bathroom and go back in the closet just to remove her from the environment. It's like I just need we got to talk about this. Sweetheart, I know you want your freedoms. I know dad and mama tell you what to do all the time. I know you're independent. I love that. I love that about you. And that's that she's like coming down from crying and she's like, you know, just constantly like wiping her and she needs every speck of tear off of her face. Uh-huh. But she's listening and like, but with you going to school, we just, we need you teach. I don't mind if you play. Play your little ass off. But the moment breakfast is

ready and good to go. We got to eat breakfast. We try to switch it up all the time between eggies, chicken, sausage, and yogurt, because you got to get your protein, sweetheart. It's important. And whenever we tell you that it's time to eat breakfast, I just, I need you. That's when you got to listen to Mama and Dadda. You can eat it as fast as you want. Eat it as fast as you can. Then you can go back to plan. But whenever it's time to go, we got to get your shoes on. We got to get you out the door. That's when I need you to listen to us. Do you understand? So I go okay, go back in, sit her on the thing. We accomplish. We're eating the chicken sausage.

We're eating the chicken sauce. That's a great note of you can make it as fast as you want. You control, like, if you feel out of control you don't want to eat, you can control your meal time. Right. Once you're in it. Right. Right. Because she's like, I don't want to tell me.

You could eat five bites by now. The time you've been sitting here and saying whatever the hell she's saying. Yeah. But we got to, you need that to help you out. I'll stick it for you and, oh, for the dad's been it gone. just fell down. Sorry, we'll get the one shelf going. We'll get Willie one shelf going.

You know what? But if there's PTSD, by the way, of, I thought you were talking about something like recording, like the mics weren't plugged in. And my heart sank. I said it's gone. Sank. I was like, oh, chef just gave us two thumbs up.

He said, we're rolling. As soon as you said that, I started freaking out. I'm so sorry, but the blood literally left my face. keep going about morning routine and that that was it the dad the dad loss is learning in this it's our first couple weeks of going to school so we got that morning routine

of in between like you know waking up getting her ready to go getting her breakfast everything made it's just like the the communication or if anybody's got some tips or hacks out there to kind of set it up yeah it goes better to where you just get to where you're kind of like arguing with her you're like dude I you gotta do this shit

I talk about my boy Nick all the time he's like dude morning routines are a grubes are a grinder. He actually texted me. Matter of fact, and he's like, hey, could be good if we get a, if we FaceTime in the mornings and let Hudson and Roo see each other and we can kind of like talk through certain things. Maybe to like

keep them in a good mood. I thought that was a great little, great little nugget. Taking a quick break from the episode to bring you and talk about Wayfair, before I get into Wayfair, there's something bittersweet about ending the summertime. You're winding down you had a great summer, you know, Roo, she's in

school now. So it's always a bittersweet ending to summertime. However, I do love the fall weather. I love getting into a nice fall routine. And a couple of things that we like to do is consistent family dinners. And when I'm talking about these things and talking about Wayfair, I want to talk to you about what my wife loved doing and picking out at Wayfair. We have some new lamps for the kids' rooms to get ruined just a different theme.

Get her in the spirit of school shopping. Let's get you a couple outfits. But hey, let's pick out a nice new lamp for your bedroom. Also, dinner table, outdoor furniture. Wayfair, when I tell you, Wayfair has one of the, the biggest collections of outdoor furniture in their store. I already hit on kids' rooms, refresh, and get them excited about the upcoming school year. Free and easy delivery, even on the big stuff.

There's no more huge delivery fees for furniture. You get big stuff like sofas, dining tables, beds, desks, and all of it. It will be shipped for free to your house, get organized, refreshed, and get back into routine for way less. Head to Wayfair.com right now to shop all things home. that's w-a-y-f-a-r-r.com, Wayfair, every style, every home. Back to this episode. Dude, shout out your boy, Nick, because he hooked me up with a dad hack. Yeah?

Yes. Would you like to share? Yeah, I would love to share. Well, and I had a follow-up question on the morning routine, though. Go ahead. I don't know. Maybe we do that, and then I'll do Nick. Yeah.

What numerically time-wise does your morning? look like like what time are you waking up what time like can you break it down on that so on a like on a optimal day i'm waking up at 545 so i can get in the way or i can get in the garage at six and i will use from six to seven as like my selfish this is the time where i will work out in the mornings sweat it out do whatever i need to do whether it's zone two and sauna whether it's strength training i'll take that six to seven and work out in the mornings so that way i can come in because charles getting up around 645 mark 7 it kind of depends on when scotty's going on the monitor because i don't want to leave charl hanging to she's getting the kids up all by herself yeah yeah i mean she

knocks it and she'll she'll she will rock that method but as often as i can when i'm home and not traveling it's i'll try and work out between six and seven so uh that way i can be i can go into husband and dad mode from seven until we probably leave for school now like 815 820 okay so from seven to that 815, 820 mark. You know, we're getting Scotty up. Somebody's getting Scotty and getting the bottle and stuff going with Scotty. Other ones going to wake her up. Kind of depends on the movers.

And you might walk in. She's like, I want mama. But I found a nice little, I find a nice little game in a way to kind of like mess with her. So that way when I go in there and I'm getting rude ready. But we're getting the pull up off. So she can change in the underwear. We're going to the bathroom. Hey, let's pick out an outfit.

She loves dresses. You got to try and talk off a clip of dresses. You've wanted three days in a row. Let's figure out a different method. Yeah. And she likes for you to give her a couple options. You'll lay out a couple options. She'll pick one.

But as she's picking, she's playing. She's like doing all the things. So it's like keeping them on course, getting them ready. I'll go down. I'm usually the breakfast guy. Like I'm always making breakfast. It's like eggs and toast and Greek yogurt and roos, like coconut yogurt. But I'll get all breakfast ready.

And then if it's like, if it's, we're only two weeks in with the school stuff. But if it's like a P.B&J or something where we have a leftover, I'll get Rue's lunch ready. Or like this morning, Charles was making a cassadilla. We'll be in the kitchen getting all that stuff ready while Roo plays. Scottie's on the ground. She's wrong around. She's playing having a good time. Just digging with that toe.

And then honestly, it just comes down to executing, hey, you got to eat your food. Like we don't have all the time in the world. It's like eating the food, keeping her from having a tantrum because she can have a tantrum at any moment. Because again, it's like they want their independence, it's freedom as toddlers. They're always being told what to do. Yeah. It's like keeping them on that, getting their shoes on, getting them out the door. Okay.

So that's kind of how the morning routine is. I love that. There's like several things that you've brought up so far in the show that I've written down. One is I need to become breakfast guy because I love breakfast. I really do. And I've been doing a bad job of like preparing breakfasts in the morale. Sometimes do it. And Jill, if she was here right now, she would go, sometimes.

like never and I'd be like oh babe I've done it before but on the weekends mainly Jill does a good job of breakfast when she does it neither one of us have like taken that role though but I think I want to take that and own it

it's like as Scarlet gets older and starts like the routine becomes a routine charle more often or not will be the one with the outfits and the hair with Rue because again it's like

I can get Rue rolling. I'm not a I'm the hair stuff is you know I can I can get a headband on I can do a ponytail. Yeah. I can't do the braids yet. I can't do like the fancy ponytails. We've got to see these cute little pigtails in today. But like with charo doing the the kid thing, it's like I will make Charo's breakfast. So Charles breakfast being like an egg or two and some toast with butter. Mine's like four eggs and Greek yogurt. Ruse is it's either eggies, yogurt or chicken sausage. For a protein. Yeah.

And then that's usually your breakfast. Then we'll get it ready for lunch. Throw a little small little cookie in there for a little treat at school. Come on. Cookie, maybe some kind of, there are a variety of options. But that's kind of like our gig. Okay. Breakfast guy's got its perks.

It does. And my mom did a great job. My dad would do like breakfast and stuff, but my mom cooked a great breakfast and and packed crazy lunches, dude. I wish I could I might need to bring that up for a future episode Just go break down I need to call her and ask her like

What was your? Yeah Lunch cadence Oh my God Dude these lunches Like my friends You know how you're like trading like gummies Yeah

There's that but then My friends were like Yo your mom make that That pesto turkey Bacon Club again Yeah she did Yo can I get a bite of that Like Miss Amy kind of

Yeah She messes around She put her foot in that little sandwich. Yes. Dude, she crushed it. I don't think I'll ever live up to that, but it'd be fun to try. Another thing I need to add to the bag now that I'm like talking through this is I need to make Charles Latte. Or ice latte in the morning.

I need to just get her fully set up and prepared now that I'm talking to this. You'll have like a little espresso. Yeah, we got a little espresso machine. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jill hasn't been doing the caffeine as much because she's pumping. still. Right, right.

But that's something I could do too. But I can definitely implement that. I also wrote down, you said at the very top, you're like, you may be planning a date night with the wifie. And I was like, oh shit, I haven't done one of those in a minute. I wrote date night with wipy. It falls to the bag burner, bro. Yeah, like it happens with us all the time.

It's like a few weeks ago by and it's like, hey, we haven't got a breakfast together or we haven't had a date night in a while. Yeah. We need to get like something on the books because it's like, that stuff just, it sucks. that you have to be intentional about it. And like me, I like me being a, I love to exercise and work out.

And I know if I don't, I'll just get in like, it like weighs on me. It like snowballs on me. I'll say I'll work out in the afternoon. I won't work out in the afternoon. Yeah. And even though I got to wake up earlier to do it, it's like this is the most optimal way to go about it

because it's time that I can have that is uninterrupted to myself. It's time I'm not sitting in the, putting in the middle of the day or late in the morning to where it's taken away from somebody else, it's, yeah, those would be the two big keys. Like when you're married with kids, families operating, is think about what is your hour where you have to yourself. Yes. Because it's important that you have time to yourself.

Because again, if you're not watering that plant at all, that's going to weigh on you. And you're going to be projecting it on your wife. You're going to be projecting it on your kids at work coming home, all the tired stuff that we all know about. Yeah. And if you think about it, it's like, you know, what time do you have to yourself? And then with marriage, it's like, what time are you guys intentionally putting in together

because the kid stuff takes over? Yeah. It takes over, especially if you let it, 24-7, and you're all, it's all thin. Like, Charles is a grinder. She's a business owner. Barth, the Barthreys in Nashville. She's a, she's a worker. She's a working mom, working dad.

We got to have our ducks in a row. Because if not, it's just work. You think to yourself she's made the comments recently, and I feel it. It's like I feel like I just parent. I feel like I just work and I'm just mom. And I'm like, yes. A lot of times I feel like I just work and I'm just dad. Come home and you get to there.

You might watch a show or two. It's just on the background. You might be scrolling your phone while the show's on. Then you're like, yeah, let's just go to bed. Or I might go upstairs. Like, I'm going to get on the game with the boys. She might just sit on her front and scroll and then we both just go to bed. Yeah.

Versus like, you know, those moments when it's, You're having those nights is where it's like, I'll lay there. I know she's doing it. I know the question will come up, but I'm laying there. I'm like, we got to get something in the books. Number one, am I taking care of myself? If so, it's like, all right, if I have that box checked, because if I'm not, it's like, okay, how can I plan out time that's for myself?

Will you just have to get your lazy ass up in the morning? Yeah. You have to, because that's the only time you're going to do it, bro. Yes. So you got to get to bed at a decent hour if I'm not going in with the boys. Yeah. But I got to check that box. And then it's a, you know, what do we have on the books just with us?

Do we have a sitter? Do we have child care? Yeah, dude. And like my dad hack was evening walks, right? Last episode. Yeah. With Scarlet. Yep.

Jill was having a rough day. And I brought her along for the evening walk. And I was like, let's walk together. Because she was talking, she's like, hey, I have postpart and body. And I just feel like I'm stuck in the house all the time. and I just feel lazy and not do anything. I was like, well, come on an evening walk because it's fun. And once we're out there, she's talking,

I feel like I'm letting everybody down. I'm not talking to my friends enough, my family now. Yeah. I'm letting Scarlet down. I said, same. I feel like I'm letting my coworkers down. I feel like I'm letting you down. I'm letting Scarlet down.

But in that moment, I wish that I had been able to say, like, hey, we're not letting each other down right now, and we're not letting Scarlet down. down right now and we're doing something that's like outside and active and like just so small little winds the small little windows where you are like you're not treating yourself but like you're being good to yourself you're doing something that's like fun we need more of that yeah yeah it's like if if i think through it again it's like the communication if it doesn't happen it snowballs it's snowballs internally in a way to where it waits for a moment of I feel like I'm letting everybody

down and you both feel the same way and then you're both kind of connecting and coming back because again everybody's wanting to stay strong for each other until you're not strong anymore yeah and strength most of the time is just reconnecting and talking through stuff like something that charl does a lot that reminds me to to do a back or I'm not thinking about this enough is like when charles just appreciates me for something or just saying yo this was this was kick ass when you did this or hey I really appreciate you doing X, Y, and Z. And I'm like, man. And then I think to myself, I got to do this more for her, too, because she is a rock star.

Yeah. It's just little things like that. Little things like that. And in addition to that, this is like, you know how if you like get the work right on a math problem, but you wouldn't get the answer right? Like teacher would sometimes give me still like a 0.5. Last night, I randomly, when I got home, I was like, hey, honey, I just want to be. let you know. When I got to work yesterday, I was really pissed off for two reasons. One, I remember that I forgot to wash the bottle, which you told me to I always need to wash the bottle after feeds.

And that trash or the diaper pail was so fucking full. And I want you to know that I saw that it was full and I had every intention to take it out. And I was pissed when I got to the office and was like, I forgot. I know, bro. And even though. she was upset, you know, she was kind of saying, I was like, oh, I know, I saw, I saw, but the fact that I, not beat her to the punch, but like, was like, hey, I just want you know, I did mess up there. And I am trying to be intentional about doing a good job. It's still got, I got the point five. Right. At least she knows you have some type of awareness. Yes. Versus her having to say to you and then you might have some body language. I'm going to get to it.

I know, honey. I've been doing a better job. I have. Because I know, I don't know about you. It's like When that diaper pail gets full, I'm like, man, I kind of don't want to take this diaper back. I don't want to take this trash out right now. It's like you sit there and you push that shit down even more. Hell yes. Every time. I like, okay, yeah, we might have one or two more in there. Like, let me just.

I'll open it and I'll go, oh, just wait one second. I'll get that dirty diaper and I'll bunch it into the hardest ball ever. It just, five more diapies now. We good. Yeah, I feel you on the bottle cleaning too. Sometimes I'll take a lazy route. Like once the bottle gets done, it's like I'll put the hot water and I'll put the bottle cleaner soap in there and I just like shake it up. Oh.

And then I dump it out and then kind of rinse it out and everything. And Charles, like, every now and then Charles like you got to take it out so you can clean like the the nipple part. The cap and the nipple. Yeah, the cap and the nipple because it can get some of the stuff can get crowded in those crevices. Just from a rinse perspective, Jill, my big. be excited to see me implement that. Just the rinse out? Yeah, just as like a rinse out of, like put a little stope in there and then shake it.

She'd be like, oh, that's great. If I, like, if I, like, detached everything. If that's what I do, I feel like with like all, like, my shaker bottles. It's like, you got to clean it out. I don't want to sit there and put the brush. I'll just sit there hot water and soap, shake it up because I'm like, I'm good. I'm the only one drinking on this. I do have, that reminded me of my survival kit.

It's an easy survival kit for this. week. Rip it, dude. Do you have a survival kit? Yeah, I got one. Okay. Mine's the doctor, so we use the Dr. Brown bottles. What bottles do you use?

Just wondering. Buddy. Oh, yeah. Dr. Brown, too? It's a great brain. Probably, yeah. We got one with dinosaurs on it. A Mickey Mouse, a Mickey Mouse bottle.

Well, we need to up our game on that. But that's rude, so that's a taller one. But yeah, with Scottie, yeah, I don't know. It's got the slashes that says how many ounces is in it. Yeah, true. could be Dr. Brown's. Dr. Brown uses the, or we use the Dr. Brown bottles.

They have a formula pitcher, and it's like a pitcher that like your mom or dad would have brought to a picnic for like lemonade, you know, kind of look where it like sits in your fridge, but it has a pumper on top of it. So you put the powder formula in there, you put the water in there, and then you do this pumper thing that spins as it goes up and down

and it mixes it all together. and it kills all the bubbles. There's like no bubbles, and if you're like a breast milk and formula type of cat, because there are some out there that like to mix and match or whatever, you can put the breast milk in there and the formula, however you measure it out, go like that, and then it just sits in your fridge because you can close it,

and then it's good to sit in your fridge for however long. And then when you're making that bottle, dude, you just, Woo! It got me stoked, dude. I don't even know why. It was like not the most exciting survival kit thing, but... Doesn't have to be? Yeah, it doesn't have.

It's not sexy, but it is such a hack. A four-yard run isn't sexy, but it's what you want. And sometimes those four-yard runs, like a scatterbo, it can turn into a 34-yard run. Exactly. Because of how good it is. Yeah. Consistency. Consistency.

Just keep hitting them in the mouth. Yes. Keep pushing the pile. Yes. It's not sexy. But it gets the job done. Because you got to what? You got to take the hits.

You got to take the hits. My survival kid. Have I shouted out Gracie's Corner? I don't believe so. Not to my knowledge. Gracie's Corner on Spotify. This kid's a stud. A kid?

Great songs. Yeah, it's like kids music. Great songs. Educational. vibe, rhythm. Okay. We'll just change it up a little bit, Gracie's Corner. Gracie's Corner.

She hits the one legger over the bar again. And then after she takes the leg off the bar, she holds it out to the side and then turns. And then she's like, watch this one, Dad. And then she's like going down the hill and she drops really low and then kicks your leg out. You give her a... She's got this little kickball and she just wants to bounce it as many times,

Crazy kind. It's just, it's a different feel. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like it's like, uh, you get longer feedback of people opening up to you. It's like a dad hit me up in the DMs and I'm, I'm going to butcher the DMs. entire message. But he was ultimately expressing to me like you can tell he's he's like reflecting on how hard he is with certain the lesson of punishments last week. Yeah. And how he gets like that

because of how he was raised by his dad and mom being Taipei and just struggling with that in appreciating the podcast and being proud of PT6. But it's just like stuff like that fucking rocks, bro. It rocks. It's cool that like people are opening up to us and feeling like it's a safe space to be like, hey, Will and Sherman share enough about their personal stuff that I feel comfortable with sharing my personal stuff with them? And it is cool to be like trusted with that. Like that message that that girl wrote to us, it was quite literally two paragraphs. And I sat there, read the whole thing.

And by the end of it, I was like, we are so lucky, dude, which we texting each other a lot, our first like two weeks when we started this of like bro we're pretty lucky that like everybody's being so nice and stuff and we get to do this yeah but now even more so looking at it i'm like we are so lucky dude that like we're getting to share this space with people that equally want to like share their thoughts and feelings because people are just passionate about parenthood everybody cares man and it's like we said in like the first episode and i know we hit on it every now and then throughout our episodes but we're all like a few degrees away from each other on how we think and feel and go about all this stuff we all want to be more intentional and sometimes you get

caught up in just the bubble of your own world when you hear other voices talk about certain things whether it be on the show or the radio on tv whatever it is then you're just like i go through that same too. Yeah. And maybe I am a little too much in it right now until I'm hearing another experience and this helps me. That's how I've always been with my consumption of podcasts and success and growth and fatherhood, everything that I'm interested in. I hear somebody else talk about it in a way where I'm like, he just broke that down. That's exactly how I feel. I wish that you could see Jill and I at the house of like having conversations from conversations that we have right here or Jill watches the episodes and she'll you know we'll just start breaking it down right there like

I feel like I'm a listener of the pod because I'm so new to fatherhood yeah that there are these little nuggets and stuff that and it's funny dude it's like the stuff that you're talking about I know I said this last week but the stuff you were talking about in those first four episodes before we had Scarlett and now I'm like I'm thinking back to those things. I'm like, damn, he really was right. Like, Will is putting game out there. And it's fun now.

I was texting your boy, Nick. I got Nick's number, by the way. That's a whole other story. I love it. I love it. We're texting that. But I was texting Nick. I was like, dude, honestly, like, there's a ton that, oh, God, I lost my train of thought.

I was talking about what? I'm new to fatherhood. Fatherhood game, the first four episodes. Now I'm beginning to transition to where I actually feel like I can give gay, if that makes sense. 100% bro. Because you're in it right now. And really the game is just talking about your own experience. That's all it is.

All the shit that it's like is game is hard 24-7. Yeah. And it's constantly like good isn't going off in my head all the time. Yeah. It goes off on my head more now, especially when your wife is like, hey, you got a brain. You talk about embracing fatherhood. I want you to hang in shelf and you're not saying good. and said you're kind of fighting me on it now everybody's in the comments oh will he what but it's like a weird

accountability factor too of um of just like uh fuck i do you feel don't know where i'm going right now with i feel very but do you know what i'm saying yes i feel very like challenged and not of held accountable from the fact that i'm doing it there will be moments where i'm sitting there and i'm like bro just burper for 15 minutes don't burper for five minutes. She's going to spit up if you do it for five minutes. You're doing a podcast about fatherhood, like the least you can do is burp- And when you pop on social media and you see people sharing and having their own little good stories or their own hacks or whatever it is.

And I just see that one word of like they share a story and they say, this is happening good. And I'm just like, it's like that's a reminder. That's game to me. You know what I mean? It's not like coming from a position of this is the right game. This is something we're constantly trying to. I'm not master. We're never going to master it.

No. But all of the accountability within the community, I wish I could lay in this plane better. The community doesn't even know they're holding us accountable, but they're great reminders when you pop on and we're building this community and brand is building the way it is to where you just see those reminders. And it just, it helps you. Yes.

It helps you. Where Charles laughs about something of, she's like, I was wondering if you were going to tell that story or not. especially the one-shelf story. She's like, I was curious if you were going to, how that was going to go if you told that story, knowing that I was so, you know, like in the, I had such a pissy attitude about it.

It's very similar to skydiving, like being a parent of like, there is no amount of books that you can read about skydiving that is going to get you ready for that moment of when you're out of the airplane and you see the ground and you're like falling. Like there's no, like you can't just be like, an expert. Right. And we are not experts and we constantly say we're not experts and we aren't.

But like if you go skydiving once, you can at least be like, oh yeah, dude, you're going to be nervous as hell before you jump out of the plane. That's okay. Everyone is. Yeah. And for another dad that like is so nervous going into it, i.e. me, like hearing that in the comments from the PT-6ers, it did a swage. Is that the correct word?

it did affect how I felt. Like it did help me to be like, oh, okay, not only is like my boss Will that wants the best for me saying like, dude, you got it. It's okay. Like being nervous, that means you care, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, okay, well, Will just kind of likes me and he's my boss. So he's just saying that. But then you read in the comments like, oh, dude, I was sick to my stomach, blah, blah, blah.

And like, it's totally normal and you're going to kill it. It's like, that's all you need. the PT-6ers we're all in it I don't even know how we got on that me neither but I love the convoy bro we're looking at pictures of scarlet that was my crack a cold one brought to you by liquid IV

come on hydrating and dude this bomb pop flavor is nuts I know you had a you had your dad hack earlier I have one from YouTube from the YouTube comments that I was going to share because my dad hack was more so

asking for dad hacks of you know or maybe just hearing the struggles and we're not alone on the morning routine. I'm sure it's chaos for absolutely everybody. But Dad Hack, and I love this one. This one's from Jonathan Vela 4854. PT6 here, 20-month girl and just found out there's another one in the oven.

Good. Dad Hack, we had TVs that had the same remote and could work together that could work. Wait, wait, wait. Dad hack. We had TVs that had. that had the same remote and could work the other TV. Rock one with batteries, one without.

To where your kiddo wants to grab the remote and mess with the TV, you give them a remote, a second remote, one doesn't have batteries or it's to a different TV. Yeah. Also, I would give Rue the fireplace remote. She'd end up running the fireplace on. But they always want to mess with the remote. So I thought that was a great dad hack.

Have a second remote out there. And with the batteries out, because they'll know they'll get all, enough to know eventually that it's like, hey, this isn't a real remote if you give them a fake one. And all parents and dads out there is like, oh, yeah, that's a no-brainer. But again, there's new fathers coming into this equation. There's new fathers joining PT6 that are super nervous that. That makes sense to them, but they're not even thinking about that. So that's a good simple dad hack to add to your bag, to add to the PT6 backpack. It doesn't have to, like, you do not have to reinvent the wheel for it to be a good dad hack to your exact point. Say that again.

You do not have to reinvent the wheel for it to be a good dad hack. It truly, the little, my dad hack this week was, I found it in my DMs from like three weeks ago. And I just found it. And I was like, dude, Jill and I ran into this last week. I wish I had read this three weeks ago. But it's, hey, if Scarlet, I saw on the pod, Scarlet's been burping up a lot. Try burping her every single ounce during a feed. like stop after she's had an ounce.

Burp. If you don't get a burp out, it's fine. Just put that bottle back in. Second ounce goes down. Burp. Oh, you've got the bubble out that time. Now she's ready for the third ounce. And that's something we're implementing now without that dad hack.

But it's like just those little things. Little things, man. Little things. Should we get into our hotline? 601 of the dads? You want to be featured on the show? You want some free merch. You call into our hotline.

You leave a voicemail. chef captain of semen team six he goes through them and then we will feature it's like i want to say last week we did one we're going to have about three this week a hotline hotline additional shout up though an additional game to put you guys on is we said it before we said hey if you start the call with like yo what up chef more likely that you'll probably get it played now new guy Derek is on the scene and we'll be helping with the voice films now. And he's Steelers fans out there. Oh, and he's a Steelers fan.

He's a Pittsburgh guy. He's a Pittsburgh. He's got Pirates hat on right now. Pirates, Penguins, Steelers. You name them, he's on. Pittsburgh Riverhounds, too. We got a nod on them all. Okay, okay.

He's deep in the Pittsburgh fandom. He's deep in the lore. And he did, yeah, a little, before we jump into, want to let him intro himself like we did with Chef. Absolutely. Great call, Sherm. It's part of the fan now. Yeah, he's part of the fan.

What do you want to know? Give him your name where you're from, maybe a little background on how you ended up here. Why you love the brand? Derek, Whiten, from Pittsburgh. Moved down here about five years ago to Nashville. I worked in advertising before, and then I had a couple buddies who were transitioning into Dadlife

that sent me the show. They know I was a big Compton guy. I was a big busing guy. and so they sent the show, became obsessed with it, recently got engaged. I'm a funcle, very proud of that. I stole a couple for you, for the kids, I'll tell you after. That was great. Like a couple clips from the show works as an uncle, too.

What you guys are building was, like, the coolest thing I've ever stumbled on to. It's something that you don't have to be a dad to enjoy. I got my fiance in it. I got my mom watching it at the beach while we're on vacation. She's asking a lot of questions to describe some of the things you're talking about. It's getting a little awkward on the phone calls. Oh, God. Shout on the episode,

The Humping, oh, they all they. Yeah, there's a couple. I'm like, you can fast forward through that part. Yeah. I give her the timestamps. But now, man, I'm as yinser as they come. I was talking to chef, recent bowls guys. So I'm introing into the Tennessee lifestyle here.

But now, dude, this community is great. Everything you guys are saying is awesome. I have been, like, I laid out these clothes last night to come in today. I feel like it's day zero of school. I held a little sign that says my name's Derek, first day of school. geek to be here. Love everything about the show, but there we are. We got to get that picture up.

And another thing he mentioned that I know could be a hitter is the uncle stuff. Getting some uncle gear. It's been talked about. Taylor's brought it up. A lot of the guys have brought it up. Yeah. But getting some uncle gear. As a funcle, the one thing I did is we were sitting there with my fiancee's niece and nephew.

And the niece was saying something like, I want to do this. And I looked at her and I said, how many times do you want to do it? And it was something you had said in a previous episode. And she goes, one more time's good. And I said, all right, let's do it one more time. Because she was something that was just going. I'm like, we got to go inside. She's like, I don't want to.

Like, you're just daring. And I was like, well, how many more times would make you happy? She's like, just one. I was like, I'll do it with you. It was like throw a ball against the garage or something. But this show works for that. It works for, I was talking to you first day. Dog Dads.

I have two proud furry kids at home. They're little dogos. the one set a streaker from two rooms across a hallway. I'm not going to say if it was her dog or my dog, a complete stinker across the house. And we both walked downstairs and I said, good. And my wonderful fiance said, what is good about that? And I said, just wait, honey, you'll see the show, you'll understand.

I cleaned up the dog. Was it a streak? It was two. So the reason I knew was her dog is he'll take a shit, take two steps, drop a shit, take two steps, drop a shit. He's a plopper. There was two formal shits. And then they streak like a slug ran through the house just from the kitchen to a side room.

Good. Good. Good. Why is it ain't good? Because we got to embrace this shit. Literally. Literally. If that ain't goose, by the way, one of my dogs, he's a little, you know.

Waffle, you got to watch her being in English. Like, she'll shit, but there'll be some poop still sitting on her butt hole when she comes in the house. Because it had, like, you know, capped off. Nope, Waffle. Get your ass back outside. Speaking of, we got her dad calling. And again, chef, don't be scared to just playing the dad and dad ripping into me for the Willie One show.

All right. The dad's heard that too. 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 a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, a pretty wide range of podcasts. starting a trend. But this one's extra special.

So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, 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 notes. 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.

because a piece of rebar was sticking out of the asphalt, enough to where only this much a rebar was showing. So I had no idea what it was when it happened, just driving down the road and doom-dum. And both of them just, boom, my entire car went to one side. It was scary, dude. It was scary. That's tough.

That makes me feel better. Yeah, you're right. Good. Good. But shout out. What was his name? Chef. I'm so sorry.

I don't. Did he say his name? Thanks. What? shout out fog for calling it for called it boys fuck beforehand we thought he was from philly his area code is a Tampa area code which now that I'm hearing his voice I don't know now I thought I was going to get big go birds at the end of that from everything oh thank you fuck for calling in thank you

fuck chef's jagg Papa shir and Willie one shelf good morning I say good morning because it is currently 545 driving on my to have to mute, listen to the show. Love it. We got a dad fail the other day, and I feel like I had to share with the boys. Currently in the football season, just starting up. So I am in the thick of it right now, you could say, going through it. So I get home later in the evening, don't get as much time to spend with my boys and my wife as I would like.

So I try to take advantage of the small moments. I don't really like to come in and drop the hammer right when I get home and get on my oldest. The other night, he was giving mom a fit and accidentally hit his brother a little too hard, so I had to go into dad mode on him. And once we had our chat, he was crying in his room. So I walk over and check on him to make sure he's okay. And I asked him what was wrong, and he said, Daddy, you just broke my heart. So in that, in turn, broke my heart.

Yeah. So I had to sit down with him and turn it into a lesson of, you know, he protects his baby brother. And when I'm not at the house, he protects baby brother and mom. So that's the person being a boy dad, I guess, trying to raise a little protector and raise him to be a good brother and a good man. Love the show, boys. Keep doing what you're doing. PT6 out. Love that call. That was a great call.

That was. because I think there's like it's like my dad was like that right yeah dad comes in the door and oh shit a little fear enters your body giving mom problems you hit your brother

I had two younger brothers so there's always you know chaos around the three boys but you know dad always dropped the hammer on the boys but I will say this what I appreciated what I appreciated about that call is him talking like you know

went in to sit with them talk to him don't feel like you know I love my dad, but I don't feel like that ever happened a whole lot in our household to where, you know, old man's coming back around and sitting and listen to you. I feel like that means a lot to the boy that you go in and you got more on the empathy hat, especially when you said that you break my heart. Like, oh, God, that would sink me back into the couch. But you know what I mean? Just having that extra part. Again, it's like you're going to have those bad moments.

And maybe like when you reflect as your dad, you're like, I kind of went about that all wrong. there's still opportunity to come back around like going back into the room and sitting with them and you know airing it out however you guys are airing it out turn it in into a lesson putting on that empathy hat to where they're hearing you guys are talking you know what i mean yeah dude and the fact that like son is open to have that conversation of like saying like dad you broke my heart you know like being able to like voice his emotions it sounds like that house does a good job of just kind of being able to talk it out. Yeah, like putting it out there.

The kid, I don't know how old the sun is, but feeling safe enough to say something like, oh, you're, you know, you break my heart. Because a lot of times it's like if I'm getting to talk to you from my old man when I was little, it's like you're not really saying a whole lot. You're just like, yeah, I understand yes, sir. You're not trying to escalate the situation. I was a yes sir machine.

Yeah. I know exactly what you do. Yeah. To where you're just sitting there in fear most of the time. Yeah. Versus having a. face to where you're comfortable to this. I'm just how I feel.

You broke my heart doing this. Then it becomes an entire lesson. You're giving him something to think about with, hey, the expectation, the reason I'm hard on you or the reason for X, Y, and Z is you're the protector, bro. Like when dad's out of the house, when the head dog's out of the house, like you are the head dog.

Yeah. You are the man of the house. I can do a much better job of going about it different ways. I feel like a lot of times that's, you know, that's like the dad in you. You go hard for a moment. Then you're like, ah, maybe I could have done it a little bit differently. I could have coached you up a little bit differently. Yeah.

I'm now feeling that of myself. I'm glad we're sitting here talking and you're listening. I'm listening to you. But this is why this happens. I'm not just doing it. I'm just doing it because I love to do it. I hate tainting your ass. Yeah.

But my thought process behind it is because of X, Y, and Z. So that's something that I need you to think about and you to be conscious of as you continue to get older because you are you're going to be the man of the house one day dad's not always going to be here that always that kind of that sucks to say out loud right now yeah but it's also the truth uh i love that call shout out shout out that dad yeah shout out that dad um i i do love the not just telling him to be better but like telling him how to be better like the challenging him of like hey you got to be the protector i know that that's like a pretty resounding thing across like parents and teachers of if you have a kid that's like acting out give

them some responsibility right and it helps a ton um so like giving him the responsibility of like hey you you you got to hold it down dude yeah i need you we're a team it reminds me of a comment this comes from my boy um i grew up with him his name's uh Joey Winkle. And of the lesson last week, the punishment one, underneath the clip was a comment. And his comment is, this is great. Something I learned from my father was if you must punish them,

make sure and sit down with them afterwards and explain why what they did isn't tolerated. Mistakes don't require punishment, but disrespect does. There's a fine line there in my opinion, which I loved. Ooh. And shout out to my dad. He did do a good job of bouncing that. in my eyes. Like, I think my dad did a really good job of there were some times where, like,

I got the belt and I never wanted the belt again. But most of the time, I was just talking with my dad, you know? Like, it was not always a spanking or whatever, but it was sitting down, talking through why we don't do that, et cetera, and seeing that for, like, my brother, too. my brother very often would get like in a verbal altercation with my dad for any said reason. I feel like my dad did a good job of kind of like doing the balancing act of having those conversations with my brother and working through it to where I did feel like safe enough to be

able to voice my opinions as I grew up. My brother's four years old. So there are those like little things that you're like, oh, I kind of want to talk to my dad about. ask him if I can do this or da-da-da, he might get mad. But I wasn't too scared to, like, hide anything from. You know? Yeah, I'd be nervous. Oh, yeah, dude.

Yeah, growing up, it's, it wouldn't be the sit down afterwards. It would almost be a moment to where all the guards are down, and it might be a day later or a moment later in the week, or we might end up, you know, he'd be out in the garage and I'd, like, go out in the garage, or we'd be having, like, a deeper conversation about it. to where he's more reflective and talking about it versus in the moment

or after that moment or later in that day but yeah or you're in the living room sitting with both mom and dad kind of talking about a recent situation yeah dude getting set down by both parents too

was always really great yeah it wasn't great when I was a kid but like it worked right like when mom and dad would get me on we have these red sofas dude and they face each other, no TV in the room. When you got set down on the red sofas and mom and dad are sitting across the area, like,

yeah, but great call in. Great call. And I'm pumped. I got to reflect. I got to shout out Joey's comment too. Shout out Joey. Yeah, shout out Joey. That's good.

Shout out and shout out Bruce RIP. Let's go. Let's go ahead and do the lesson. You want to do the lesson? Yeah, bro. You got coined. You got the responsibility of the quote lesson topic of your choice. Oh, okay.

So Will challenged me yesterday with, not like challenge me in a bad way, but you were like, hey, I want you to do the lesson in a week this week. I went home last night, said, Jill, I got to do the lesson of the week. I got to start thinking and planning because Will wants me to do the lesson of the week. And she said, yeah, that's good because Will's really been bringing the heat lately. And I feel like you need to start bringing the heat a little bit more. I said, what? I was like, what do you mean by that? I was like, energy-wise, she goes, no, like, he's just like, he's talking about, like,

his dad experiences and I feel like you need to start talking more about your dad experience. I go, what am I talking about on the show? Wait, can y'all, can y'all inform me? Like, what have I been talking about? Am I just talking about gooning too much? Like, wait? Now, mind you, just context. we it's like you came home to say that and that's after we posted a couple videos

that's true video that's the horny video to shout out our merch bwtbb.com so she's seeing best she's going and seeing she's seeing she's seeing will's lesson then she's seeing you being horny pup list she's like this this will guys out here bringing the heat my husband's just a horn dog What the heck? Anyways. So you spent some time on it. I spent some time on it.

Which fires me up because yesterday I think you were saying you were just going to do like a speech like from a movie or something like that. Oh, I'm going to allude to a movie scene. Like that's like the example at the end. But I have like a full little lesson. Let's go, bro. It fires me up. Okay. Fire PT6 up, bro.

PT6. Today's theme is bravery. Fear is an extremely strong emotion, so strong that animals can physically sense and smell when humans are afraid due to a chemical change in our bodies. We begin to sweat when fearful are anxious and our brain releases cortisol, adrenaline, endorphins, dopamine, and norephenephrine. I hope I nailed that one. These chemicals heighten alertness, numb our senses, numb our emotions, and cause us to either fight, freeze, or run when we're in fear. Oftentimes when we're angry, frustrated, or sad due to an outward force in our life, and the anger, frustration, or sadness will be the emotion that we display to the world. But the true cause of those emotions is actually caused by a deep-seated fear.

So fear is like the baseline emotion that then might have us a like that fight, freeze, or run. It might cause you to fight, be angry, freeze, be sad, be, you know, isolate. When my wife becomes angry with me because I didn't remember to take the diaper trash bag out, it's not just the action of my air that has angered her. It's her fear that she and our child Scarlet are not my highest priority. When I'm frustrated with the way a friend has treated me and sit and stew on it for minutes, hours, or even days, it's not their actions towards me that have put me on the couch paralyzed with frustration or anger. It's the fear of having to confront them with my thoughts or feelings on the matter.

Fear is such a basic instinct that it is physically contagious amongst humans. If someone jumps with fear, neurons literally fire off in our brains. to mimic that same behavior, a scream can activate our fear reflexes in our brain on a primal level. And seeing fear turn to anger or sadness or frustration can also lead to others then adopting those same emotions. As we said before on the show, our kids are always watching us and picking up on actions and words that we say in display. With fear already being so contagious, it makes me worry about passing that along, to my daughter or even my wife. But in all caps,

humans are interesting creatures because just as we display fear like most animals of prey, we also possess bravery. And bravery is scientifically and physically just as contagious as fear. The same neurons that fire off to mimic fear patterns and others

fire off when signs of bravery are displayed. Standing up to danger, staying calm under pressure, calmly confronting a friend that is wrong to you. Or yes, even forgetting to take out that, or taking out that dirty diaper trash in the wee hours of the early morning while you're half awake. Dopamine and oxytocin releasing your brain when you are brave, which gives us the feelings of connection, reward, and purpose. That neurological cocktail can override fear, especially in moments of anger, sadness, or frustration. Bravery is not the absence of fear. This is important.

Bravery is not the absence of fear. It's the identification and self-diagnosis of fear and then the decision to act in spite of the fear. So you have to first realize that you are afraid or something is causing you to feel that way, and you have to act in spite of it. That's what bravery is. A great example of bravery. This is a selfish add-on is Gerius Evans,

also known as G-Baby, in the film Hardball. This is, dude, I might tear up if I read this monologue, but it's so good. Read it? Stay in it. Damn it.

Stay in it. I know, dude. I tear up way too much, dude. Hey. Give me just a second because I really don't want to tear out. I actually don't. Because people are like, Sherman, what the fuck do it? Okay.

The fear's triggering right now. It is. Walk with it. Okay. Not the absence. Let's go. Walk with it. Walk with it.

Okay. So, Jarius was the youngest player on the Cucumbas, the baseball team, in this film, if you have not seen Hardball. Kiana Reeves is their coach. not to get into the full plot of the movie, but he's not the best guy. He has to do the coaching because it's like court ordered, essentially. So, Jarius actually, sadly, he passes away in the film,

and this coach is making this speech at Jarius's funeral. And he's talking about a huge game that happened earlier in the film that you don't know the result of the game until this moment here, where he's speaking at the funeral. He says, Gerius was a player on the Cacumbas baseball team that I coach.

And honestly, he was too young to play. So he's the younger brother of a player on the team. Very small and portrayed very small in the film as well. But he wanted to be a part of the team so badly that I couldn't say no. He had a great smile too,

though I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know. He was a really, really tough kid. just a boy who really wanted to be around his older brother. The other day, we played a really important baseball game against a good team. And with two outs in the last inning, I had no choice but to let Gerius back. And so in the movie, you see that one of their best hitters has an asthma attack in the late stretch of the game. And Keanu literally has to put in this little kid or else they will have to forfeit the game.

Yeah, I had no choice. put gerius at bat he was fearless as he stepped to the plate and i was terrified for him with two strikes and our hopes dwindling he shot um he hit a shot down the first baseline and he won the game and watching him raise his arms and triumph he ran the first base i don't know why i'm crying i swear i was lifted in that moment to a better place and i swear he lifted the world in that moment and he made me a better person. And I think the thing that everybody, because I'm obsessed with college football and I'm obsessed with underdog teams. And I think the thing that like everybody loves about a good underdog story is like the bravery that they show in the situation where they should be so scared.

They should be worried. They should be fearful, but they like act in defiance of that. And I just think it's so cool that like chemically our brains when we see something brave it makes us want to be brave and i don't know it just it fires me up that like something so contagious and sometimes toxic fear can be good it could be a good thing but something toxic like fear is so contagious but then also our brains are able to like have this contagious bravery that we can just be inspired by stuff so I challenge the PT-6ers to go out and be brave about anything, you know, like really work through those times where you are feeling some anger, some sadness or whatever, and try and take a moment, take a breath, and kind of diagnose, like, why am I truly feeling this way? Because I'm not

actually mad that the grill cheese was burned. I'm mad because I don't think wife, you know, is really thinking about me or cares about me or takes the time. But, blah, blah, blah. And you know in your heart of hearts that's not true or whatever. You know in your heart of hearts most of the time you're letting yourself down in some area. Yes, dude. Also that. Also that. So yeah, that was my lesson of the week. I didn't fully cry. Good of work, bro. I kind of cried, but I didn't fully. You did, and I started to tear up for a second. And I also feel like there's a component that's absolutely hilarious that you're tearing up during the hardball monologue, no one it's not like it's a movie. It's a fucking movie, dude.

And I watch that movie, dude, I cry every, you could pull that video up right now on YouTube and not even watch a full movie. I will cry. I will ball my eyes out. Like you're reading this monologue in this moment, like it was a real. About a fictional character that does not exist. It doesn't exist. And I'm tearing up and it made you tear up. Oh my God.

Yeah, I started to tear up. It was like a weird, I was tearing up and also wanting to laugh to. Like, what the hell are we doing here? That's going to be the longest clip we've ever made. It's so long. I wish that we could just run the clip of G-baby hitting that shot. Oh, absolutely, bro. Oh, my God.

But good work, man. Did I do all right? Yeah, that was a classroom session. Let's go. You were breaking down the science of everything. Dude, is that crazy that animals can literally, like, horses and dogs can straight up. That's why they say when you get on a horse's back, they're like, chill out. Because the horse can literally be like, this motherfucker's, like, I don't want them on my back.

I love too that you hit the part. It's like bravery is not the absence of fear. It's legitimately just identifying it, identifying it, accepting it, and fucking walking with that motherfucker. Yeah. That's what it is at all times. Yes. And too, like, I know we have a lot of military listeners and a lot of police, firefighter listeners.

There was something cool that I came across when I was doing research for this. Of the number one reason why firefighters, police officers, that feel brave enough to charge into a dangerous situation is because they see one of their own doing. That's the number one reason. reason across the board when to ask like where do you get that bravery i see it in somebody else and then

it makes me feel like i'm strong enough to do it i love that man it's so cool dude like just the leading by example in any kind of way yeah it's so funny to you dude of just how primal our brains are if if chef over there was like whoa what the it went like that all of our brains would go what what what was that right like we are such primal creatures Yeah. That was awesome. That was a great word. And it was also funny. Let's go. Hey. I was like, I was trying to remember the monologue that Keanu Reeves was given. Yeah. It's a great movie. You haven't watched Hardball. It's a phenomenal movie. And I'm wondering what part in this is like, is going to like break you down. Because I remember you're ever, you tear up when you're watching that movie because it's a very sad, like, story. And as you're going to. And as you're going to. You're going to break you down. Because I remember you're ever, you tear up when you're watching that movie because it's a very sad, like, story. And as you're going through it.

I'm like, he's just recapping a game right now. And this is shaking him to the core. He's in it. He's in this movie. A fictional film. Just crying, dude. We have to play that video and just have me watch it in front of you guys. I'll literally ball my eyes.

I will ball my eyes out. We didn't even talk about the part where he sits, he sits G-baby down before he goes out onto the plate because it's like, takes you to the game. And he's like, You do whatever you want out there. If you don't want to swing, you don't have to. Just know that we're proud of you no matter what happens.

And G. Baby, yeah, okay. Yeah. That pitcher just puts some heat, like, right by his face. And he drops the bat. Right. Because the bat's like too big for him. Oh, yeah. You get up, G.

Yeah. Yeah. And then when he lines up for the pitch that, like, he smokes, it does that close up shot of G-baby, like, gripping the bat and kind of like, you know, wins the eye a little bit, like getting into it. Oh, dude. Dude, that was awesome.

You could have not even mentioned hardball. You could not have mentioned G-baby, and you could have just, you were in such a moment in a role right there that you could have accepted that as a story that you witnessed. You know what I mean? Like, the way you were feeling that monologue.

Because what was making me just tear out just seeing you? Hey, that's another thing. brains were firing. I'm seeing you tear up. I'm like weirdly reacting and tearing up. And then I'm reminded myself, I'm like, he, he's deep, he's deep right now in this heartball movie. Like, he just saw it. I'll cry to fictional books.

I'll cry to movies. I told you when I saw Creed in theaters for the first time, I was a fucking mess, dude. Dude, listen, I cry. I cry in movies too. I'm talking the reenactment that you just delivered. That's what I'm saying You remember when we were joking around I feel like you witnessed

All of this in real life You remember when we were joking around About that line in Creed You were by sitting at home with the cows Man, he's really feeling this He loves this G baby It's horrible I do

When we were joking about Creed in the office And that line that Sly gives Creed before he goes He's like You know Now go out there And knock that song of a bitch Yeah

Yeah. He's like, I'm going to knock that son bitch down. He's like, hey, I know you would. You want to know why because you're a creed and I love your kid. And then the music kicks in. Just us talking about it, that was like months ago. In my head when you were like saying that line, I was starting to get the goosebumps and like feeling in my third. Yeah.

Dude, film just gets me fucking damn. That was awesome. That was awesome. When you're like, I might tear up on this part. I'm like, oh, man, you can recite some story. Like, he's going to recite something from home that just touches him in a different way. And then you just start going into the hardball monologue. I can't have.

When Scarlet's Passy falls out of her mouth and she wants to cry. But she doesn't. She keeps it in. And I reached down the floor. I grabbed that pass of fire. Yeah. That's good stuff. Thank you, everybody for tuning in.

Are you all going to say something? After. He's ever seen Hardball? Now you have to. That right there doesn't be like, I got to go watch this goddamn movie. But I was sitting there, Shirm's like, in the monologue, tear up. I'm like, what the fuck is this movie? That's what makes me laugh in my head, too?

I was like, I wonder if there's people out there just like, is this, is he going through a, of, movie seeing. They're going to be, they're going to be Googling. They're going to be like, Jarius Evans, who's this cute? Yeah, yeah. They've died. He's so he's breaking down. Did he say that this is a movie?

They're going to be halfway listening and just go, God, is that epic story? This should be a movie. This is so good. I wanted to like really empathize with how you're starting to tear up on this monologue the whole time, but I'm thinking I'm like, God, this movie must be like a real and he's like, it's a baseball movie. And I'm like,

Okay. Field of Dreams gets me water-eyed, but we'll see how, I guess. And then I catch myself and I'm like, I should be empathizing. I'm like, I'm laughing in my head too. Like, man, he really, it's horrible. I got him going. I don't, I really need to like sit down and I'm not worried about the movie stuff because like I love that I cry to movies and books. but I need to sit down and really analyze why I cry whenever I talk about like deep emotion stuff because I want to be better at like talking

you know what I mean I thought you did a good job man I know you did a great job thank you but there's Hey again you care yeah there's those moments that you want to do a good job though like you did do a good job I'm saying in the past like at one of my best friends weddings I'm doing a groomsman speech yeah

And I had to I literally had to go sit down and collect myself two girls went and then I went back up and finished with speech. That sucks. That sucks.

Shout out Daniel Nalman. I love you. I couldn't even make it through the speech and Jill's sitting over there rubbing my back going. That's a movie scene what just happened

with that monologue. Just somebody up there breaking down over a movie scene and all the buddies in the back. He's talking about horrible, right? Bro, that's me talking about a movie. It's baseball movie.

It comes up to you. Please don't go too hard. Guys, there are certain stories that I'm not going to let you get the mic if you're going to say that. And Sherman gets up there. It starts to see your eyes. Starts a quarter of his speech has to sit down. All right.
