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 recently new father who’s currently deep in the trenches of Fatherhood and loving every minute of it. Together, they’ll break down everything that can go right and wrong (...usually wrong) when you bring tiny humans into this world.   Expect funny parenting stories, laughs, call-ins, advice, weekly themes, and the kind of conversations you’d have over a cold beer in the garage. Whether you’re raising teens or still Googling “how to install a car seat”, For the Dads is the ultimate podcast for dads who are in it, about to be in it, or just trying to do their best while screwing it up along the way.   -----   FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram:   / Forthedadspod  Twitter:   / Forthedadspod Facebook:   / Forthedadspod TikTok: / Forthedadspod LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify -----   SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Olipop - Buy any 2 cans of Olipop in store, and we'll pay you back for one.

Hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you doing? What do you do? Hey, we got a Twitter community started by Jared Ladd. A Twitter. So, explain the Twitter community. Like somebody just tweets in their profile.

On X. Oh, they're on X. So sorry. On X. Hey, I'm going to be completely honest with you, Will. I don't know what these X communities I don't know what it entails because I told Derek,

oh, I think when you tweet in the community, the tweet just stays in the community and then we tested it this morning and the tweet went out to everybody, everybody. So it's like, oh, okay, it just puts a tag that you're a part of the community.

So I don't know. We're figuring it out. There was one I was a part of. I've been a part of one in my life. And that was the severance community. How was that? What was every? I loved it.

Because severance is, such a, you know, the sickos out there that love Severance, Severn Sickos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Severance does a great job. Similarly to, like, Game of Thrones, those kind of shows where there's a lot of Easter eggs, a lot of callbacks, a lot of like game within the game, within the game, within the game, within the game.

Where people break down videos and you're kind of like, oh, shit, yeah, that could happen. Or damn, I didn't think of it like that. You're basically describing for the dads. So Severance being a good show with a bunch of inside game is just like, for the dads being a good show. with a bunch of inside game. Yeah, we need to start. You know what we should do?

We should start putting little Easter eggs. We do. I don't even know where to go from what I just said. Yeah. But if we know something's coming in the future, maybe you put an Easter egg that they're like, I wonder why, you know, maybe a Rizzo jersey's hanging behind. And people are like, oh, that must mean Rizzo's coming on.

Hey, Rizzo. Hey, is Matt Stafford coming on? Yeah, Matt Stafford's on that. Because he's on the Lord of the Rings thing. Maybe wait. And then when Stapford does come on, that sicko that was like, He's now got his own tweet that says I broke this down back on February 25th,

been talking about it since March, bro. I knew that shit was going down. And y'all slept on me. So we have an ex-community. Yeah. We have a Reddit community. A Reddit community and an ex-community now. Join all the communities, man.

This army, this military is something special. It really is. We're going to be talking about I was on family vacation out in Hawaii last week. Sherm and I were both solo parenting over the weekends. We'll get into solo parenting stories. Sherm has a great lesson of the week for us. He tells me. We'll dive into how he even got sick.

How do I even get hurt, not injured? How scarlet is she under the weather? Sick as a dog, but, dude, you wouldn't be able to tell. I'm serious. Her attitude, her all outlook on life as a seven going on eight-month-old. She just ribs, dude. You know what that comes from? Her parents, I hope.

Her dad. Hey, will you, will you come over here and tap me up? For real, for real? Brother, I actually really needed to hear that. Yeah. Like that actually wore my heart. She was with her daddy, man. She was with their daddy.

You prepped her for moments like this. Hey, you let her know. The world's tough out there. Bro. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. Yeah. But it's not how hard you hit. Yeah.

It's how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Sorry, PT-Sixers. We're just... We're reminiscing. Dude, my heart really needed that. That was fucking good.

We've been battling. We've been battling, dude. Dude, so we got back. We'll obviously break down all the vacation stuff, but we land. And Charles reminds me that she goes out of town. This was this past Saturday. She reminds me, oh, remember I'm going to New York on Saturday. I was like, just gave her that look.

What? Oh, wait, after we just went on vacation, after we just went on vacation, she's not doing a work trip on Saturday. Oh, good. It's okay, sweetheart. I'll get back Monday morning. My first question, you're not taking the kids from me, are you? You can't.

Don't do that. Don't do that charge. Don't leave me alone for the weekend. She didn't do that, right? No, she didn't do that. She let me keep the kids. Oh, good. Yeah, thank God.

Yeah. And Sunday rolls around Massive blizzard or a snowstorm hits New York City Oh, that's right. Inclement weather. Yeah. Flight gets canceled for Monday. She now has to rebook Tuesday.

Which that just means more solo time with you and the kiddos. That means one word. Good. Good. Good. Can't wait. I've been sailing this shit the whole time. Don't even worry.

Stay out there. You know, take another vacation. Fly back down to Hawaii while you're at it. You offer that? I offered it. Got it. Then she hits me. What's today?

Tuesday? Yeah. She hits me yesterday. We're sitting, eating dinner yesterday and she hits me up. Their flight gets canceled on Tuesday. Oh, good.

Wait. So she's not coming in until tomorrow. My immediate response. Right when she texts me, I just put a good deal. A great deal even. Love it. Yeah.

So she's not getting in until tomorrow. So she's an M-T-Sixer. She knows the game. For every parent that's out there listening right now, there's a sadness that consumes your child when parents are out of town. More so mom than dad. Rood does get sad when dad leaves. We talked about it when I was in San Francisco a couple weeks ago.

A dad hack that I gave was like, it was actually this sweatshirt where I took her in. She started crying. She laid on my lap. She didn't want me to leave for five sleeps. It's only going to be five sleeps. It felt like forever. and she wasn't, she wasn't handling it very well. And I was so sad leaving to go to San Francisco.

So I took her into my closet. We picked out a sweatshirt. It was this one that I'm rocking. And she essentially carried it around all week like a stuffed animal. But Rue, mom being out of town, that's a different, it feels like a different beast. I'm the one in the trenches. So it feels like a different beast. We did the same thing with mom.

Whenever Charles came down to leave that morning, it was like five in the morning. Takes Rue, Roo said, takes her downstairs, sleep the rest of the night with her, or sleep the rest of the morning with Dadda. but she went in with Charles and picked out a sweatshirt, now she rocks with the sweatshirt. She's been rocking with it to school. She rocks with it everywhere

because she misses mom. And we count down the amount of sleeps each day. So I didn't even tell Rue, and you guys know the game. Whenever the flight got canceled on Monday and got pushed to Tuesday, when Charles, we were on FaceTime and she was in,

Rue was like, Mama, one more sleep, one more sleep. And I could see Charles' face start to lean into it's actually going to be two because we got a lot of snow and the flights canceled. I just chime in, intercept the conversation. That's right.

One more sleep. Mama's got one more sleep. I'm looking at the FaceTime. Like I'm looking at you guys at home right now. Like one more sleep. That's right. One more sleep. So I'm thinking in my head,

this has got to be a process to get Rue around to, hey, it's actually going to be, Mama's flight got canceled. She's not going to be here for two more nights. Yeah. Then eventually I'm like, oh, look at all the snow.

Mom's showing her the snow. I'm like, look at all the snow. And then we get off the phone. I'm talking to Roo. And I'm like, I'm like, sweetheart, Did you see all that snow? Man, I hope Mama's flight doesn't get canceled.

And she's like, why Mama's flight gets canceled? I'm like, because it's dangerous out there, sweet. There's a bunch of snow on the ground. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If there's too much snow, we don't want Mama traveling. We don't want Mama risking. She could get hurt. She could get hurt.

We might not be able to see her for a while. And I was like, so if it snows or the flights get canceled, that's what we want because we want Mama to stay safe so she can come home. The only thing that's going to happen, the worst part is she'll only, we'll only have one more sleep to go. So it'll be two more sleeves. It'll be two more. But if that even happens, right now she's going to be home tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The flight was already canceled. She already moved it today. Right now, Mama's going to be home tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if worse comes to worse and there's too much snow in the flight, the pilot says we can't fly, that's what we want to happen because we want Mama to stay safe. Absolutely.

So we massage that into her. She struggled for a moment, but it really was smooth sailing. So that's a little dad hack. That's a massive dad hack, dude. If some plans get bombarded and mom's going to be. go on an extra sleep because do they love mom like mom is mom is the rock mom is the center of the universe charo when we'll get into the zoo thing but just so for charo to hear if she's still in new york listening to this oh she's listening right now there's no question um rude that's all rue wanted to

talk to me about was mama oh yeah dude mom's the baby how many sleeps until you know mama gets back this is mama's sweater do you think scarlet would like my mama's sweater absolutely yeah show her the sweater because she's going to love it. Yeah. So that's good to hear too from Charo's side of things. Yeah. It's been smooth for the most part. It's been smooth for the most part.

But we'll get to dive in because you were a solo parent as well over the weekend. I was a solo parent. You knocked out the greatest dad game that any father out there could listen to. Yeah. And that was what a couple weeks ago? Yeah. Two weeks ago.

Two weeks ago. You flew the friends in town. You told her mom, your mom was coming to town. Turns out her friends are there at the airport. You're going to have, what was it, four days? Yeah. Four days with your friends. They brought their kiddos. It's just mom and the kiddos. You are a champion. Mahjong,

wine nights, babies. I mean, we're just talking chill sash. A lot of dads out there were driving, listening to this game, watching this game, being like this man gets it. And I've got to figure this out because not only is this a massive win for,

everybody involved, but Shirm is low-key. That scoreboard's ticking. It's rising. It was rising. You're putting up points. This is no huddle offense. Yeah. This is like, what is it? Chip Kelly. You're running like a Chip Kelly spread offense. Like the first year it was coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oregon Chip Kelly. Oregon, Chip Kelly. Yeah, yeah.

Mike Leach, Texas Tech type. Mike Leach, Texas Tech type. And like, you know, two-foot gaps between every offensive linemen, and people are looking at like, what are we doing? You're just telling them you're going to pass. People are saying, what's an RPO? What even is that? Run pass option, you can do that in one play?

Here's the deal. When the end pulls, all right, we hit them with Majong. If they sit, hit them with the wine night. Amen, brother. Hit him with the wine night. Either way, we're getting eight, 10 yards. But, yeah, I mean, you would think, you would. Right, right.

You would think to preface that now is hubby's time. Yeah, you would think. Now's Papa's time. You would think. Maybe a little golf trip. Maybe a little golf trip. What would you get hit with? Honey, don't forget I got that bachelor's party.

Hey, honey, don't forget. I got that bachelor's party coming up. I don't think I can take Scarlet to that. So I'm really devastated. So maybe, you know, you and I was elated because I'm like, like, oh, don't take the kid. Yeah, don't take the kid. Don't leave me solo to the video games all weekend.

Don't do that. Don't do that. Cold front hits Nashville. It's really cold. All of a sudden, it was really beautiful outside and. Good. Yeah, good. Oh, you're going to West Palm?

Good. Oh, good. I bet that's kind of warm. That's kind of nice. Good. You know, I get hit. Let your hair down. Let your hair down.

Have a little fun. And, hey, hey, I love. I love you to death. We're joking. Oh, yeah. We're doing just joking. We're having some laughs. We're having some laughs.

And you looked beautiful, beautiful with your nice sunpan from the beach. Little party boat. Oh. And you, hey, she deserves it. And here's an actual dad hack in the midst of all this good. Just like just celebrating it because I was stoked. And I'm, you know, she's sending me funny videos and stuff. I'm stoked.

I'm having a time but I try not to pepper it too much I know some partners are different but like I try to let her have her fun when she's having fun what are we talking about? Like too many like updates and check-ins and stuff from home

with Mama Bear with Mama yeah yeah I really tried to just do face times with like hey we're eating right now yes hey we're sleeping oh we just woke up good morning mama we love you mama letting her because Jill was

dying for the FaceTime stuff, which that was great. I would like to add to that. There's nothing better than going. There's nothing worse than going on a trip with a couple buddies. And one of them is consistently having to lock in with the girlfriend or fiancé

and having to like, hey, I got a call and text constantly. It's the best whenever you get to go somewhere and they go, hey, don't worry, we'll catch up more on Sunday.

You just kind of keep me a little bit updated here and there. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. If you feel like calling me in the middle trip, give me a shout. Give me a shout. But you put it on.

Yeah, dude, yeah, absolutely. I'll tell you what you won't get from Papa Team 6. And that's a text message with the question of where the diapers. That's a text message with the question, what should I feed her tonight? Yeah. That's a text message of, hey, how do I do the laundry? Hey. Not that I do the lie.

I don't really hit the. But if you did. But if I did, she didn't get no text about it. No, sir. And did you see that outfit? I, bro, I put that outfit together, the Zoo outfit. You crushed it, bro. Yes.

And I love because she's growing into the bow. You know how I was kind of a hater. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I kind of took some crazy shots at Scar, Scar. At Scarlet's face. Yeah, too, her face. Say, you look, hey, you look dumb, dude. Your dad put you in it.

Did you choose that? Yeah. Because you look dumb, dude. Look at this bow and then flipping bow. Knock it off her head. You look like a candy wrapper. just blow on her oh you can't say nothing you'd say so just go

dude dude your kids are done it's such a dawd um but yeah she's grown into the bow she looks cute as hell dude your kids are

died you get a little water And drip it on her face. Are you even doing that at home? She just looked like she jumped off the Titanic when I poured water on her face. What are you doing? I don't know. I didn't know that you're supposed to do that.

Yeah, you're supposed to do that. If you have a good of a dead. How is she in the water? Just like dumping water all over her face. Oh, look at her panic. You don't got her used to the water? No, she's got to get pooling out the ass at school. if you keep this up.

What are you doing? You can't bring her to the house. Scotty would eat her up, dude. Eat her alive. I don't even want to see it happen. Don't bring her around here. Toughen her up and then we'll talk. But, yeah, outfit looked great.

The outfit looked good at the zoo. Outfit was on fleek. I even sent the outfit to Mamas. She said, okay, dad, us. I said, watch me work. Watch me work with my family pass to the zoo. Didn't forget the stroller this time.

Brought the stroller. Will and I were trying to figure out because I do have a family pass. And I was like, I technically could get all of us in here together, but we're going to have to, you know, it's a family pass. Yeah, we had a good laugh. He's like, maybe if you want to get on the family pass,

oh, we're gay. Hey, we're together. These are kids. I'm cool with that. You know, yeah. We were both cool with that. I mean, I still bought it my own ticket. But we're like support local business.

Yeah. Yeah. Obviously. Yeah. But Zoo was great. We'll get into Zoo because that's a crack of cold one. That'll be ours together. I love that.

Yeah, my good last night, I basically, I think I have the closest thing to a panic attack as far as what the hell's going on with my body, we have this little mister thing that's like a saline mister that helps like break up mucus. It's for infants. And it's like, you know those O2 tanks that they probably gave you on the sideline that you just go like, and it has the mask on it? It's like that. Never used it.

You didn't need it. Come on. The way you were playing? Yeah. You didn't need that. Are you all right? What was that? I'm good.

That was a luggy. I'm really sorry. Good. Good. Hey, hey, hey, dads can't afford to get sick. No, they can't afford to be sick. No. They can afford to get sick.

You just can't be sick. You can't be sick. Yeah. I did check. I don't have a fever this morning. Good. Yeah, good. It'd been better if you did.

It would have been really good. You come in, just get all of us sick. Hell yeah. Come on, let's raise our immune system. Because that's what I'm all about. I'm like, again, don't bring them around unless you toughen them up. I don't want to see my kid boy and you get it. Yeah.

Oh, you want to come over. Play date? First question is your kid's sick. Oh, he's not. Stay at home. The problem is it that my kid's bullying your kid? It's like your kid's allowing it. That's the issue. Okay, but the O2 tanks, O2 tanks. So we do the O2 tank and then I do it.

You know, we're trying to make Scarlett like it. So it's like, hey, mamas and dadas are going to do it. So I start huffing this thing in front of Scarlet. I'm like, oh, this is so fun. Oh, my gosh. I have the mask on, I'm just going like, dude, it legit, like, broke up

my mucus and stuff in such a way that, like, I started having, because I have a ton of chest congestion right now. Yeah. I all of a sudden lead the room, and I have a coughing fit where I'm having a hard time breathing,

and I'm, like, feeling it in my face. You know, when you can kind of, like, almost feel it, like, where your lymph nodes are, where it's, like, tight, like, around your jaw. I can feel my face getting red and I'm like, I can't really breathe and I like couldn't yell out to Jill and I'm leaned over the trash can

just coughing slash gagging and so sorry for anybody with the Week Summit I just start puking Lugies which that was interesting and then all of a sudden I just start vomiting and then Jill's in the other room like what is happening like Sherman Sherman and I'm like unable to say anything to her

as she turns the corner I have this coughing fit because I'm sure I'm dehydrated that all this undude my entire back just locked up entire back to where I just fall to my knees and like grab the trash can

and Jill's like oh my God Sherman Sherman and is like talking to me I'm on all fours just like still coughing and she's like what is going on

Sherman, what is going on? In my mind, I'm going, good, good. Keep asking me. Because we'll figure it out through me talking. And I just go, water, like, SpongeBob asking for water, but like scream it. And I'm still, like, unable to breathe. She just keeps on good. You don't need water.

You're choking. Sherman, you're choking. You don't need water. Give me water right down. I was like visceral scream, dude. And she didn't give me a water for like 30 seconds, like still asking me. And I like start pounding the ground with my fist

and I like vomit on the floor again. And I'm like, give me a goddamn water. Like I can't breathe. My back's locked up. I don't know what's going on, but give me a water. I'm dehydrated. Bro is crazy.

And Jill and I are still kind of on the friend. We're still on the prince about it. My God. I know. It was crazy, dude. The back locking up, like, what, what's happening? Like, I've always had really, really bad hip flexors from, like, track and soccer days, which, like, led to my quads.

Yeah, yeah. Getting tight. And so that whole IT band that, like, goes into your lower back, like, if those two muscles are causing you to kind of hinge forward because you're a little tight and sore. my glutes and my lower back will tighten up really bad. It's like a sharp pain? Not a sharp pain,

but it's like my muscles are locked, essentially in like on the sides. To where I wouldn't say like a sharp pain, like a structural pain of like nerves, but it's like more so just those back muscles on the sides of your spine, just basically saying, bro, sit down.

Stop trying to stand. And that's why, I use those KT tape and stuff. Anyways. I'm not taking like the best care of myself. I could stand to lose a good like 40 pounds. I could stand to lose or I could, you know, work out way more, getting better shape, stretch way more.

But it's, but you'd rather take the hard route. Good. The road less taken. The road less taken. And let's not forget what my New Year's resolution is to run a 400 under 6.000. 60 seconds. Oh, that's right. Let's not forget about that. But you want to, you know, you're waiting. We're starting at the ground level. Yeah. You're waiting until the week of, did you show the world? You can, you're a fucking, you're a cheetah. You don't need a stretch. You don't need exercise.

You just get up, hit a couple shoulder impingement movements and then take off. Cheetah does not stretch, dude. You make a very good point. A cheetah does not stretch. No, all that to say on a very serious note, I do need to take better care of myself. But, when I get dehydrated. I'm thinking how you getting dehydrated, you know. I'm drinking too much. Water,

holly pop. I know. I do drink a lot of water and a lot of olypop, but I need to drink more. Well, if you drink enough, you wouldn't be locking up like that.

Yes. You know what I mean? You get you on a good plan. Yeah, we need me on a good plan. We need one of those like selfish, not team player, blah, blah,

blah, like water. Yeah, yeah, when you go and piss in the bathroom every morning every day. Dude, it's not good.

It's not good. Letting the team down. I am. We need you at a championship level. Yes. Where you were hydrated. Yes. It's in like a light yellow.

Light, dude. Light, dude. Because right now you would think it's highlighter. It's Gatorade. Gold. Gold. It's like the, like the, no, no, no, no. The, what do you call the embroidery?

Oh, yes, yes. Of my hat. Yeah. A nice little Vegas gold. That ain't good, brother. No, not at all. Do you have a camera in the living room? where you can go back home and then watch tape with Wifee with Jill.

Fucking wish, dude. If I had had a nannet in the living room. Right here, I needed you to get me water. And if you're deciding in your mind, you're not getting me water, would I rather you have done is just start kicking me in the face? Thank you. Hey, if you're not going to give me water, don't just stand there. And you know, what's going on?

What's wrong? Just start kicking me in the face and knock me out. Yeah. Hey, I'm glad his eyes were on it, though. That's good. He had something fall out. Some kind of flipped or fell out. Right?

What happened? Yeah, something, the board, the SD just, it just stopped recording. Good. I think the SD got disconnected. But we're back. That's probably the PT6 gods going, hey, Sherman, easy. Because you're still on thin ice with the wifie. That could be Jill hacking combs.

It really could be. It really could be. It really could. That's like you better come correct. Because I know we had that week with my friends and I went on the bachelor, the bachelor's at party. But like, you're using up all your equity for this moment. That's what you got to understand.

No. There goes to the golf trip. There you go. Wee. Bye. But yes, I digress. I digress. That truly is the story.

You know what we haven't done in a while? Some of the good takes. We say good grow out. Yeah. But we'll just get into some good lore. We should. For dads out there that's thriving, but also there's suck with the thriving.

There's a balance. Yeah. We'll dive into the suck. What does it mean to embrace the word good? What does it mean? Yeah. What does it mean to enter that mindset? I have in Woodward on YouTube.

and Wood said my fiance has officially gotten me hooked on this show. We get married next month. We were listening to the episode, and Shirm was talking about his wife's gestational diabetes, and my fiance just casually goes, is that what you have? Good. Good.

I'm just now from the wording of this, I'm just now figuring out this is coming from, this is the girl our future our ST-6er just hit his betrothed with is that what you have she replied sir

I am not pregnant nor do I have diabetes what in the world that is wild future MT-6er I apologize on the behalf of your ST-6er but we're just we're figuring

We're all figuring out. Hey, you got that, right? If anything, that just means he's worried about you. Stational diabetes, hey, you have that. That's what you got. He's just checking in on you. Right? What the fuck are you talking about? What are you talking about?

Oh, dyslexia and like you mix up words and said, that's what you got, right? No. I got one here from Jorge. This is a new dad comment. What's up, gentlemen? Jorge Medina reporting for duty. recently got recruited for the PT6 and in boot camp right now.

He's in Bud's training. My wife and I found out she is pregnant in January and now about to finish our first trimester. Let's fucking go. That's huge. I came across your podcast earlier this month and have nothing but tears of joy listen to all the PT-6ers out there

with encouraging messages. Lastly, I want to give a shout out to my wife, Raquel, being the crown on my head and helping me find my way back to Jesus. Good. Good. Good. That's a great comment, Jorge.

Congratulations to you both. Jorge, well done, shouting out your future M.T. Sicko. And he gets it. He's been on for a month. He's recently got recruited to PT6 in boot camp right now. So he just finished Bud's training, reading until dad's status. The seed has been planted. Are you good?

The heir to the throne might be there. Oh, he didn't say whether or not. He did not say whether or not. He did not say whether or not. That's what I'm looking for. They just finished her first trimester, but he gets it. Orhey understands the assignment. That's a big thing we can get into.

I'm thinking for our next one that we purely do not want to know. We legit want to find out on delivery date, I think, for the next one. Yeah. Fingers crossed that we even get opportunity. Fingers cross. I have a couple of general comments. Yeah. Money Master 21 on Spotify.

At what age can Will and Sherm's kids start listening to the pod? going to get some good feedback from the kids crying laughing emoji. That's a fantastic question by Money Master. Fantastic question. I cannot wait for Lil Miss Scarlett to be proud of her father. We hope so. And all that he's doing. They'll see us cry a lot.

Oh, why? They'll know how much we love them. That is true. They'll get to hear a lot of old stories, you know, about bickering with their sister. Yeah. giving us problems, giving us hell, how she struggled with bedtime, missing mama, some of the hacks. Yep. I do think of like that age of like 8, 9, 10 range where my mom would break out the video camera with the red, white, yellow cords and plug it into the TV and play some of my baby tapes.

And it was truly like watching a bad American Idol audition. I'm just sitting there like, I don't want to. want, I don't want to see it. Put it away. And it's like you and I are, that's, that's just on the internet. Yeah. For Scarlett and Roo, not so much the videos, but the stories. You're talking about how I shit on you? How I shit on your arm? Dad, what do we do? We got to figure out a way to guard him from shockwave. Oh, yeah, Damon. Well, we've already done so. What a great euphemism. You know? What euphemism? What does that mean? Uh, euphemism's like a, it's like a nice little fun code word that you can call something. Yeah.

That, uh, but it's not a code word. It's a real roller coaster in Texas. Boom, baby. You just boom, baby. I just euphemized. You just euphonized all over it. All over it. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. Shockwave, baby. Shockwave, cow pal. On Facebook. We have a Facebook. Yes, we do. Just learning that. Yo, for the dads.

But that makes sense. You got to be on Facebook. We're going to be about the dads. A lot of the boomer generations on Facebook. We're down with the Zuck. Appreciate you guys keeping it real in a world where everyone acts as if they have it together. So we have a few days when we don't feel perfect.

So we don't feel perfect can feel alone. You guys are bringing the laughs in the fields. Thank you for showing the boys. Our love for the family is enough. I'll be shipping out on deployment soon. And I'm thankful to have your podcast while I have to be away from the family. Thank you for what you guys do. It really does make a difference.

God bless you, gentlemen. That what was his name? Kyle Powell. Kyle Powell, thank you for your service, brother. Thank you for your service, dude. We have touched on that so many times, but it's worth touch on every single time. Every time. Dude, to go and deploy and be away from your family and to serve, that idea means so much more now that I have a family.

Yeah. I think to myself, dang, dude, that's a higher calling that they're wanting to go do. And that's awesome. There's a hardship and sacrifice that's involved with all of that. Yeah. Absolutely, man. Like having to pull yourself out, essentially outside of yourself to serve something greater than you for your country. Yeah.

Knowing how hard it is to leave the family. Yeah. And put everything in place. What a strong rock you must have at home with Wifi. And just, man, that would be brutal to leave the kiddos. Yeah, dude. Didn't grow up with the whole lot of military families, although there's a really big base in Fort Worth. but if if anything every single military mom that I've met it like you're exactly right it's like

that rock mentality dude that holding it down dude Jill's grandmother had eight kids while dad was out serving what a monster what a monster dude yeah yeah dude dude my grandpa William Earl Sr. he served but he was always one of those guys he never ever really told you what he did. That's the best. You know what I mean? Like he just told me he was a cook. It's like, oh, I just cooked for people.

And he made incredible eggs. You talk about this egg recipe now. You go over, make the scrambled eggs. He put the bacon bits on tight. He makes some bacon bits. Put him on top with some cheese. But the secret ingredient, that's a bad dude.

He put a little pack of sugar, sprinkle it on the eggs. And every sugar, crazy. Crazy. I know. But it'd be egg, scrambled eggs, bacon, and a pack of sugar that he'd use inside the eggs. And it was life-changing for me. I was just always beside myself, like, what do you put in here? And he wouldn't tell me for the longest time. He finally told me when I was in high school. So I could show off to the boys. I'm like, I'm trying to like spread the good word of these scrambled eggs. How are you doing? What was his grandpa name?

Grandpa. Grandpa. Yeah. We were very, I guess, traditional. Like everybody was just grandma and grandpa. Like all the new stuff, like Lola and Opa, that Rue and Scotty, or that Roo calls her grandparents, all the mom, pa, pa, all that stuff was not foreign, but I'm just like, oh, isn't that just grandma and grandpa? Yeah. And then on my mom's side, it was like Grandma Jerry and Grandpa Charlie.

Because on my dad's side, we saw them all the time. They lived the town over. That's Grandma, Grandpa. It'd be like Sunday, we'd have Sunday dinner, Sunday meal after church. You go over, it'd be either KFC. You get the family serve stuff. KFC, bro. Every now and then they'd cook if it'd be a holiday, like they would cook.

And my mom would cook. Oh. Usually he's, you know, Kentucky fried chicken. Dude. Fried chicken dinner, I don't care where it's coming from. KFC, chicken express, you name it, dude. Yeah. After he passed, eventually we find out.

Like, maybe my brother's new because my brother, Cody, he was the number. I was the oldest. Cody was the middle. White's the youngest. Cody hung out of grandma and grandpa's all the time. Yeah. But after he passed, you end up learning like we found like a gun he'd used over, you know, hit some Germans. Damn.

Yeah. Found some other old stuff. But so he just never talked about it. I always thought he just cooked. And so when people talk about their family serving or whatever, it's not like I left at the opportunity to talk about how my grandpa was a chef. Yeah. Because it's like, that's not like, you know, as a kid growing up, you're hearing you're somebody in the family like being a badass overseas. Yeah.

You're like telling your friends about it. Did he stand? when they did like things at church or games because my grandpa was an accountant in Hawaii during World War II. And so he like wouldn't stand up doing military stuff. Like it was for the army, but he was like, no, I didn't really like serve like everyone else.

We were never in situations like that because my grandpa like pretty much the majority of my upbringing is funny. The way they worked, my grandma, she lost her hearing. So she had hearing aids. So she was, she had a massive hearing problem. She wasn't fully deaf, but she was almost there. my grandpa was legally blind, so he couldn't drive or doing it.

He couldn't, like, leave the house. But they just, the perfect game. They needed each other. They needed each other. They just be in the house every afternoon. Like, you know, you drive by, you'd see him sitting on the swing on the front porch, waving.

They had a house on the corner on the awning. They had an awning over the window. You know, those old school awnings. They had like a sea planted, etched like on the awning. So you knew it was the Compton House. Just sitting on the corner right down the road from the park. You'd see him wave. Like we'd be over there all the time, especially in the summertime when we were out of school.

Yeah. What we'd run down to the to the community pool, pay a dollar to get in. We'd be, we were pool rats growing up. That's so sick. He'd throw me 20 bucks to mow the yard. No way. And he was a craftsman too. Like he'd be out in his little garage and he built me like this wooden, wooden bolt action rifle.

A wooden. He built it. And then had a bolt, a bolt in the wood, a bolt action rifle. Well, it didn't shoot anything. It was just a toy. Because he knew I wanted like a beat gun and stuff like that. He was like, I'll make you something else. When we had our first dog, we got our first dog.

He built a dog house like a dope, sturdy. Lasted forever. Chef gave me a. Again, legally, like legally blind. Like he was, he was nice, bro, in the garage. What a legend. He's a true, he's a true Willie One shelf. He is.

But it was actually about it. Well done, by the way, on social media. when you posted something from your house and somebody said, you hang that TV, you said, I just do shelves. Check out the pod.

Yeah, come on, buddy. Check out the pod. Yeah, I'm a shelf guy. Yeah, I'm a shelf guy. One shelf to be exact. I don't do more than one.

I audibly chuckled at that comment. I was well done. That was really funny. Yeah, I don't know where I was going with that. But yeah, you were talking about your grandfather. Grandfather.

Yeah. all that stuff. Because we read a military comment. Yeah, yeah. You kind of just don't know the tales, I guess, until they share. Or even after they pass, I felt like I learned a lot more stuff about him in the military. Because when he passed, it's like the military comes and does like this, has like this moment where they fire off the weapons. Yeah.

They do all these things. And you kind of just learn more about it because he never really talked about it all the time. They like fold the flag and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's really, really cool. Yeah. He was a beast, though, bro. he was a beast man you're making a custom toy bolt action rifle like that's a guy that i just want to be in

his orbit yeah he told me how to draw and sketch like he'd take his magnifying glass and he's like he's like drawing photos pictures for me he was a beast man what a legend he'd be yelling at my grandma because she was hard hearing back my grandma and i do there's just one story could you hear could you hear the like your own voice in the hearing aids because they were turned up so loud. I have no clue. I've come across that sometimes. My grandma, she'd just be chilling. You know what I mean?

She'd come. She'd want hugs. She'd want to kiss you like 10 to 15 times. So you'd be lean down there. All right, grandma. She'd just be, muw-muh, she'd just be sitting in a rocker.

You were never too big to sit on her lap. She wanted you to sit on her lap so she could do. She could balance you on the knee and just back, womp-ditty, wum-d-d-d-woo. I do that with my kids now. But even when I was a high schooler, she'd want me. She'd tap her lap. Hell yeah.

And I come and sit on her lap. She's like, womptiti, womdity. Whoa. Just like an 18 year old, 17 year old bouts. No. Scali to Nebraska. Just getting bounced by my grandma. What a good woman, dude.

What a good woman. The story I was going to tell when I was young, my grandpa yelling at her. When I was young, I forget how old I was. I was single digits. I was a little jit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were playing checkers. I was playing my grandma on checkers.

She was moving. all of a sudden she stopped moving. And I'm like, my grandma, your turn, you got to go. And my grandpa sitting there. Her name was Maxine. He called her Mac. Mac, you got to move. And I'm back, Grandma, it's your turn.

He back, Mac, you got to move the piece. And then all of a sudden, Mac, damn it. Hey, and then my grandma sitting there, her teeth fall out. Oh, no. She starts having a stroke. Hey, and I'm young. I see her teeth fall out. She plumps in the chair.

Her teeth fall out. I scream, bloody murder. Sprint to the living room. Ah, her teeth fell out. Will, what the hell's going on? Because he can't see. He can't see. Oh, no.

Grab the phone down 911. I grabbed the wired phone off the wall. And I'll be out of the ink. Yeah. Oh, dude. Ambulance, everybody comes and gets at the hospital. She was good that day. Good.

Like, you know, she was, she got passed. Because I know I'm sitting here having like this cynical humor about it. Grandma has a stroke. Don't play, don't play me a checkers, man. My dad one time was helping get her in the car because he was taking it to her her beauty appointment, her salon appointment. Yeah. Because she'd have this perm.

And, dude, she was like traditional old school. She's all time. She rocked the perm and wore gowns. Like, you know those like prettier gowns or whatever. And, you know, you had. to kind of help them everywhere. Yeah. And my dad was helping her in the car one time.

And they're Catholic, right? Yeah. Oh, no, not my dad's side. Oh, sorry, your mom's side. Yeah, my mom's side was like Roman Catholic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But my dad has to take her to the salon appointment. Helps get her in the car.

It doesn't fully shut the door. My dad walks around to the other side and gets in the car and all of a sudden, my grandma falls out of the door, falls out. There's like a little slope in the front yard. She's like, she's like, she's not walking. What did Bill do? Was he beside himself? Oh shit. Oh shit.

You good. Matt, get up. That damn it, Mac. Mac, get up. You're good. That's going to be us, dude. Grandpapa Team 6, man. That's going to be us.

Yeah. Yeah. Bro, they sound like legends. Dude, they were legends, man. They were legends. God, I love that. The only funny story that comes to mine as far as my grandfather had Parkinson's. Yeah. And so, like, I didn't really get to know him like you would, like your typical granddad,

because, you know, he just wasn't talking at that point. A sentence would take like five minutes to get out. So I had some talks with him. One thing he did say to me when he was watching the Miami Alabama National Championship on his special edition VHS. And I was at that game in my mama's tummy, by the way. it took him about 15 minutes to get it out because he would kind of shake

and he would work the word up into his mouth that he'd get it out. And basically the sentence that he told me, he said, they ain't never going to be a team better than the Todd. Told me that. Took him 15 minutes to tell me

they ain't never going to be a team sitting there like, better than the Todd. You're right. And I'm like, yes, sir, he had this wheelchair. And they had a, nurse that had to like live in in the house to like take care of cha cha. And he was obsessed with Girl Scout thinments.

That was like his poison, dude. And he couldn't, he couldn't like use his hands or anything once the Parkinson's got really bad. But one night, dude, this is after like him not being able to really do anything by himself. The nurse starts hearing stuff in the kitchen and it's like, Julie, Julie, which is my grandmother's name, because obviously it'd be her. Yeah. Not Charlie. He can't even get out of bed. Yeah.

And she comes into the kitchen and flips the lights on. And he's sitting in his wheelchair. He kept the thin mints in the freezer because he liked him cold. And the entire bar of thin mints is sticking out of his mouth. And he's sitting there in his wheelchair just shaking with the thinnments. He was a sicko for the thinnments, dude. What a legend. And big time right now for Girl Scout cookies.

Big time for Girl Scout. order on the other side that's sitting in there. Yeah, shout out. Shout out the Girl Scout cookies. Shout out Brett Mays and his fam. Shout out for a hookahy. No, free shout-outs to Brett Mays. Nobody.

Great PT-Sixer. He's a PT-Sicco. Bring us some more Girl Scout. Yeah, bring us some more Girl Scout cookies. No free shout-outs. You got to deliver some Girl Scout cookies. You know, every day you'd walk in, my grandpa would be sitting in his room because he loved the Westerns.

But he'd be sitting there, you know, the little box TV. But he'd be sitting there because, again, And he was legally blind, so he could just kind of see the, what, like the halo around the shape of you. He kind of just knew based on size who was who. But you'd walk in and bang a left and just look in the room and he'd be, like, say, this is the TV. He'd just be sitting up in his chair. He'd be like this close. He'd be like this close watching his Westerns.

Will? Did you just actively making his sight so much worse? So fun. Where we go? Parenthood. Parenthood. I got one last one from Gibson 88 on Spotify. Rip it. Gibson says Milk Team 6 here.

My husband and I are first time parents who is six-month-old little boy. And we love listening to your show together on drives to St. Louis. Well, Mo family. Come on. Hoping to get your, hoping to get y'all's thoughts and realize it is not medical advice.

We were advised against circumcision at birth due to most likely needing a procedure later. Now the specialist says we don't have to do the procedure, but they can do it if we want him circumcise. Would he be made fun of later in life if we don't do it help? do you want my personal opinion they got advice against circumcision they want our advice that they should do it now or wait for later in life

because now they were going to circumcise but they're like hey if we circumcise there's got to have to be a fallout procedure just because of what's going on but then they're like hey what we thought was going on isn't going on it's a normal like everything's good so if you want to circumcise them now

you can we can do it So they want our, they know we're not medical experts, but they want to be made fun of. And they're basically asking, will they be made fun of? You came to the right spot. You can't, this could not be a better podcast for this question. Because I got an answer. He's going to get made fun of. Yeah.

We came to the right show. We had a quote, unquote, an eater. Because it looks like are you needers? No, yeah. We had an anteater on our soccer team in high school. And, yeah, he knew that we knew that everybody knew. And it was talked about a lot. And he was called aneater.

He was called an eater. Yeah. Had a dispease, had nothing to worry about. But, you know, it wasn't a German army helmet. I think the aneers do have some weapons on them. Yeah, dude. They got a little extra something, something. Of course, it's going to, it's a dis piece.

Conversation. It's a conversation piece. Yeah, conversation starter. You're in the shower, shower with the boys. You've got to equip them with some wit and some humor. Yeah. If that's the route you're going to take. Yeah.

You sit there, you shower, and you realize the boys, everybody's meat peeking in the shower. And you just look over. Yeah, I got to clean him. Yeah, I call him the hooded strangers. So what? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, it's not that big of a deal. We play hide and seek every day.

Yeah, you got to name them. I mean, he's got to have a name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got to have a name and he also needs to have a superhero name for when, you know. Then he got the cape on. Yeah. Well, it's almost like a reverse because he's got the cape on. But then when he becomes a fucking megazard.

And then when it's like when it's havesy and it's like almost like a turtleneck on him, giving it like a professor name. Yeah. Yeah. He looks very, you know, well educated. Yeah. You came to the right place. Yeah.

Have a little fun. with it, you know? Bag and tag it, if you will. Bag and tag it. But yeah. What's the answer? Hey, you do you.

I don't think. We have no fucking clue how to handle this question. So we're just going to our defense mechanism is humor. People might be, think we're being immature and stupid about this? Yeah.

But you are asking, you're asking a podcast producer and a former NFL player whether or not. I've seen a lot, but it's, you know, it's not. His tip.

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

I should stop talking so much. I like hearing you talk. One city, a divided country, and the war that tore America apart. This is for Vietnam. I've taken a hit from Japanese ground fire. Do you read me? They're pouring petrol all over him. He's holding matches.

I'm on a landmine. Or freeze on. Let's get out. Freedom, bomb it. Run! Saigon. Starring Kelly Marie Tran and Rob Benedict. Sting, here's madness.

The world should hear about this. There's a fire coming to this country, and it's going to burn out everything. Listen to Saigon on the I-heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. I have a crack a cold one to zoo, and it sounds like it's a collabicoled one. Yeah, it's a collaba crack a cold one. It's a collaba crack a cold one.

Tink, I've been sipping one already. I've been sipping one already. Olipop Shirley Temple. Nice. It's a tasty little treat. Yeah. Would you say a collaba cold one? Yeah, a collaba crack a cold one.

Yeah, collaba crack a cold one. The zoo. We had a zoo day. Daddy daughter's zoo day. I was done Sherm, how my wife was out of town. I think it was on Friday when we were doing our further dad's meeting. It's like, I'm solo too. Wifey's going off to a bachelorette party.

And I was like, good for her, man. Good for us. Yeah, good. Yeah, good. And so we took it upon ourselves. Saturday, we're going to do something together. We're going to get out of the house. We're going to get the kiddos out of the house.

We're going to burn some time, have a little bit of fun. We go to the Nashville Zoo. Local Nashville Zoo, phenomenal zoo. Phenomenal Zoo to take the kiddos. They love absolutely every animal that comes through. Scarlett was just chilling the entire time, just being a warrior. We're just having fun checking the vibes. where are we at? What are we doing? Doesn't matter. Just give me the banky, dude. And Rue was really

team leader at the end of the day. Yeah, Rue wanted to see certain things, but also, like, she's helping try and show the kiddos I had Scotty. I brought out the double stroller. I knew Rue would want to probably sit in the stroller and not walk around everywhere. So that always think on your feet, bring the double. Better to have it, not need it than he didn't not have it. Yeah, dude. Scarlett was ripping around in a stroller. We're duoing up. Got a couple for the dad's fist bumps. You had his foot of the dad's PT6 encounter, which Yeah, that'll be fun to talk about. I hope that who P. T. Sicko, that you knucked me did.

Yeah. I was holding Scarlet up on her stroller with both hands to where like she needed to be held with two hands. Yeah, it was like the back end. We were finding the exit. So we're getting ready to leave. We've been there a couple hours. And I totally just neglected my daughter to give out a little for the dad's fist pump. As soon as I let go, Scarlett, she's almost eats it.

It's like, hey. Stroller goes sideways, chef. Hey buddy, I love your dad podcast. Nucks. Oh, let me almost kill my kid. Nucks. Yeah, beat these things. It's good.

Oh, she's good. Five second rule. Five second rule. You caught her, though. I caught her. You saved it. It was a close one. It was close, dude.

But we ripped around. It had a great time. Rue was really engaging with both Scotty and Scarlet, trying to point it all the animals. Oh, look at this. Scotty's squealing. She's got this little squeal when she sees like birds or any animal, really. bro, Rue is fully, I don't want to speak for you about your daughter. Or for her.

Or for her. But my takeaway of Rue from that is like she is at the age where she is very much a help. She is not a hindrance. I'm sure she could be if she had an episode. She's a kid. But golly, dude. I mean, just an absolute tour guide through the zoo for Scarlet. I'll be honest, bro.

She is an asset. She is an asset. When, like, say, well, I don't remember the last time mom was out of town, but days where it's like me and the girl, so maybe Charles out for the day, whatever, which is me at home. But when mom's not there, something goes off in Rue's brain as, I have to help this poor old man. Let's go, dude.

I have to help dad, da. Let's go. And so she's always, she's been helpful every day that mom's been gone. Yeah. Like on top of it. She's one of those, she's very much a firstborn. She's very much like an oldest. Yeah.

Like got some of the type A that she'll have in are very like structure, needs to understand the mission, understand the rules, and she'll carry it out. She's a stud. She is. She knows when it's time to put Scotty down and, hey, I need you to put on your PJs tonight and do all the things. Uh-huh.

Make sure your brush is ready when I get back downstairs. Let's draw mom. She loves drawing mom pictures every day. Big into the arts and crafts. Love that. But she'll just be quietly doing it downstairs while I'm upstairs is putting Scotty down. Very...

Then everything I need, can you help me do this? She's... Yeah, bro, she's been an asset the entire... Very open to learn, too, dude. That was so much fun. Of, she would ask me questions.

There was a tiger thing that you saw where it will show the picture of a tiger, but then it's interactive. If the kids flip it around, it shows the muscular bone structure of the tiger. And so,

Rue was like, Uncle Sherman, what's that pink stuff in the tiger? What's that pink stuff? I was like, that's the tiger's muscles. She was like, inside the body? I was like, yeah, she goes, muscles are pink. I go, yeah. And she's like, I have muscles, you know, I have muscles, blah, blah,

I was like, that's right. And then when she started pointing at the bones, she was like, these are bones. Tigers have bones. I was like, they do. I was like, and these are ribs. I was like, Rue, if you feel right there, can you feel your ribs?

ribs and she started feeling it and she was like a tiger has way bigger ribs than me and I'm like yeah it does it totally like dude she was just such a joy to interact dude we got in the truck to drive home after because you know how she was having her moment with scarlet where she's doing like throwing the sweatshirt or mom sweatshirt up in the air I'll give you that video chef because that actually is very cute yeah and scarlet's laughing because roo's like throwing the sweatshirt like up in the air making her laugh we got in the car and I was like roo you were so kind of scarlet like thank you. That's very helpful for Dadda and Uncle Sherm. It's very helpful for us. Yes. And she was just super curious on like why it's helpful. I'm like, well, it's always good

when Uncle Sherm and I, we get to push the strollers and catch up and talk with each other. And sometimes the babies, the kiddos, they need us. So we got to be basically at their beck and call all the time for whatever they need a snack or they need the binkie or they need this or they need to be entertained. I was like, and you were doing such a great job, keeping Scarlett entertained, talking with Scotty, pointing at the animals. And I helped Sherm and Dad to talk and have fun with each other, watch you guys. And she'd be like, why is it helpful? And just, you know, they're in such a why-ask question phase at three years old and

four years old. But everything's a question. And she's just super curious on learning. Like, why was, so why was that good or why did that help you out? It helped Shirm. Like, yeah, it helped Shirm. Because Shirm, you know, he's, their mama is gone for the weekend, just like your mama's gone for the weekend.

So Shirm is hanging out with Scarlett Solo. So he's tending to Scarlet. it all the time, all day long, making sure she has everything and probably has to entertain her, make her laugh and make her smile. And you were doing that while we were at the zoo with her. So Uncle Shirm got to just have fun, hang out with you. Yeah. I literally leaned up against the car while she was doing it. I truly thought to myself, that is so awesome. Like I literally was just leaned up against your truck with my arms folded, just watching her make Scarlet laugh and giggle. Yeah. And I'm like, dude, that's so cool.

That's so cool. Just seeing our kids interact. Yeah. And like Rue being like, oh, Scarlett, you know, Shirm, shirm, are you watching? I'm making her laugh. I'm like, yeah, you're killing it. Like, you keep doing it. She's a showman.

She wants people watching when she's doing stuff. I didn't tell you what she told me when she was like, hold on, I got to tell Uncle Sherman by. She came up to me and she said, will you tell Scarlett's mom that I liked making her laugh with my sweater? today and I said, I will gladly pass that along. I said, thank you so much. Such a sweetheart, such a sweetheart. That juices me up. Oh, yeah.

She's a good one. Yeah, she's a beast, man. Doesn't come without trials and tribulation. Oh, 100%. Doesn't come without trial and tribulation. I'll tell you this. She dominated the 12-hour travel time to Hawaii. Dominating.

Yeah, how was all that, dude? It was incredible. Because we didn't even get into that at the zoo. Like how the kids did. Traveling. Scottzilla was Scott Zilla. Love it. Good.

She's a beast, dude. Good. She, during the travel time, it was again, our first flight took off from Nashville at 7.30 in the morning. So we had the kiddos up early. And usually, you know, as a parent, you're hopeful that your little one, Scotty is around 15 months old. But you're hopeful that they, like, you know, they'll eat their food or take their bottle. and then like go to sleep or like zonk out and you're hoping for like an hour at a time.

Absolutely. Out of the 12 hours of travel, Scotty probably slept a total of 90 minutes sporadically. Yeah. Maybe like combined. Yeah. And then outside of that, like Scotty is a busy body. She is like a, she's just,

she handles herself like a reckless abandon, bro. Yeah. Like has to be moving, has to be doing stuff. What I hated too is mom had to essentially hold her the entire time. because she's a big, she's a big mommy's girl. Like, she'll play with me, but she'll play with me from Mama's arms. Or if mom's in the vicinity and I'm holding her,

she just, she reaches and like, you know, yells and does all this stuff. So you're trying to think about everybody, you're trying to think about everybody around you on the plane because it's a long travel time. Like the first flight to Arizona was like four hours. Then you had like a four or five hour flight to Hawaii from Phoenix after a couple hour layover.

Wasn't terrible. but it's like there was no mom didn't get to nap at all. I passed out for a few minutes at one point. But yeah, Scotty, Scotty was tough. Scotty was tough. There are moments where you're like, you want to put a bullet in your head and, hey, take the plane down. She seems, we're over the water, put in the water.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That looks good. Yeah. Right there. She seems that age, too, of like, Scarlett, I feel like, is at the tail end of if we hit her with a bottle, if we've been playing with her, playing with her, getting that energy out, and then we hit her with the bottle,

we can then wrap her in a blanket and incentivize sleep. And she'll take it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess I could conk out for two hours. Yeah. Right here. But Scott, he's in that phase where she's, she's curious about everything going on. She wants to play. She wants to climb.

Again, it'd be like Roo in the middle seat. because Scotty's a lap child. So we're sitting in a three-piece row. Rue's in the middle seat. We have this cool little like suitcase, a roller suitcase where you can take out and kind of turn it into something like four plane seat. That's kind of a shout out.

It's a dad hack right there. I can't really, I don't know what the product is if one of you guys can search it up. I have no clue what to call it. But it's like a little kid's roller, like a roller suitcase. Yeah. We can turn it into basically an extra little platform.

So if Rue does want to sleep, she can lay back, we have her pillow. She can kind of lay down on the seat and also in that little space next to the legs. She kind of sprawl out. But Scott didn't want to stand in the middle part and just hold the seat and like engage with people behind us. The people behind us were great. Everybody around us was great. Knew that we were just in an entrenched warfare. Yeah, it did. The entire time with Scotty. But she wants to climb. She wants to do all

the stuff. It's a suitcase. You said, Will, right? Yeah. Because I found one that's like a ride-on suitcase. It's like a ride-on suitcase. It's like a horse. And you'll have this like longer laying your thing that you're kind of dragging her and moving her around the airport with. It's called a Stoke. It might be. Stoke looks I mean there's like foot pedals and stuff on this. It looks like it's kind of stuff. She doesn't have foot pedals but it's something like that.

That sounds unreal. Yeah, yeah, that's it. Yeah, yeah. Is there foot pedals on it? No, it's more like grooves, I guess. Yeah, but they've got like stickers that they can put on them. Yeah, yeah, that's it right there. So if you want to show the graphic for a dat hack, shout out, product, shout out to use. It works wonders for us. But we'll have like her blanket stuffed animals, pillow,

and then like some arts and crafts or books or whatever in there. So it's like her little... Dang, dude. It's like her little setup. But she, Rue dominated. Very good, very patient. You know, would ask, how much longer we have. Kind of be bummed every now and then, but not... She never had any real meltdowns or anything else. Scotty was a tough one. Scottie was a tough one.

Jill said that about Rue when I like described the zoo thing. She was like, she's a firstborn girl through and through. Yeah, she's super helpful. Yeah. And then for any parents out there like thinking about traveling or doing family vacations dude just do it like it sucks the traveling sucks yeah i even told my wife when we were talking about doing a vacate yeah good

like doing a vacation i was going to stay somewhere like in like on the mainland to where you're not flying that long yeah because i'm like dude's got he's gonna be a nightmare she is every time we travel she talked me in Hawaii love Hawaii but i'm like bro it's such a long travel but hey happy wife happy life come on my sweetheart you're you and to go to Hawaii, let's go to Hawaii. The resort was beautiful. But my advice for those people, if you have a wife who is adventurous and wants to travel and see things and going on vacations, do just eat the grenade and do it.

Because as hellish as it was traveling there, because we were wiped out. We got there and it just, when you get to the destination, it's just so worth it. Especially when you, you know, we had nothing on the schedule because it was kind of a resort. It wasn't like all inclusive or anything, but it was a beautiful resort. we got upgraded when we got there. The agent, because everybody, anybody who's followed me for a long time or a few years probably knows or understands

the lore of Expedia when we traveled to Italy a few years ago. Travel has been a nightmare for the Compton family to nothing that y'all have done. Right. We had a nightmare situation with Expedia. I took the country to war against Expedia. We got it figured out eventually, but we didn't fly to Italy the time we wanted to fly to Italy.

We had our bat. We had everything set up. We had our tickets. but we apparently weren't in the computer. I was going to do that. In the computer. And that was a nightmare. So from that, we used one of Charles friends who's a travel agent.

And apparently she's set up for whoever she works with. Shout out Megan Paylor. Go check her out on Instagram. Okay, Megan. But she was our travel agent. And whoever she works with, like they're eligible for upgrades, like this list of like five to 10 upgrades. If the resort or hotel has it available when you're there,

she could qualify for an upgrade. We got upgraded, bro, to the most. I mean, it's, I did my best not to flex. Yeah. Because I just had that vibe where you go and you're apart and you're staying somewhere that you feel like you shouldn't be here, you don't belong here, where you feel like you made it. Like it was a four bedroom suite with a private pool.

And it was insane, bro. And I'm grinning ear to year the entire time. just like how how do we have this but it was amazing bro we got to chill we pool beach every day roo swimming like six seven

eight hours at a time it was very relaxing it was great to get away but it was a phenomenal vacation dealt with some jet lag good it looked it dude just the little outfits the little outfits for the girls

in those family pictures that you had, just everything that comes with a vacation that probably is a pain, I feel like that is applied across fatherhood of just everything's gonna suck to some extent because there's all the extra steps, but then the payoff, dude. The payoff is huge.

And if you're a dad or a parent out there like me, like I, we went on zero family vacations growing up. Yeah. All of our stuff basically went into sports for myself. And so all of my vacations were essentially like baseball tournaments or football camps. Like whatever my parents can muster up and put towards that, they did. I would also be the kid where I traveled with a buddy. So say we're on the baseball team.

I'd be in the car with you and your family going and staying. We'd be sleeping in the same bed. I'd be like the tag along kid. My parents did everything I can. We were middle class. They worked hard. But all of it went towards us with sports, our passions, everything else. But we went on zero family vacations because didn't have the time, didn't have the money.

And so it just never happened. And Charles kind of opened my eyes to vacationing. Like even growing up in the sports world and playing in college in the NFL, like when I would go on vacations, it would be I never wanted to be anywhere past like three or four days because you feel like you're out of the structure. You feel like you're taking away from things you could be getting better at or chasing that 1% to get better. For Charles get me to go on a week-long vacations, two week-long vacations. We spent, I want to say, five or six nights in Hawaii. do family vacations going and seeing

different parts of the country seeing different parts of the world like dude it is those are core memories that you're going to have with your kids that you're going to look back on and you're going to be happy

you did them especially at a young age because we want to get them in a rhythm to where we do a family vacation every year or we get to do it a couple times to where they grow up going and seeing different parts

and being excited to see new things and experiencing new things but man take the family vacations and there are so many ways to do it From your standpoint of like, you can do the family vacations where you are driving to the Grand Canyon, you know, you're offline, you're driving. You find the campsite that has like some nice little cottages that are affordable, whatever, like, whatever the trip looks like, just going on a trip with family, dude. Yeah.

And you're 100% right. Like you don't need much on the family vacation because there could be listeners out there. Yeah, it sounds amazing. You get upgraded to a four better and sweet. Yeah, yeah. You got a lot of money, you got the world, you can do all these different things. But there would be moments where we're sitting there on the beach. And all Rue wants to do is throw rocks into the water.

And I'm thinking of my head, you don't need all of these things to have like a phenomenal experience. It's nice. It's nice that we get to enjoy it, that we get to do these things, this privilege life that they have. They have no clue that they're on a beach in Hawaii right now. And this is the peak of life. They just want to rock and they want to throw in the water. They just want you to join them wherever it might be. and throw that rock in the water.

We like truly, I was blessed enough to like get to go on some vacations and stuff. Yeah. And my grandmother, I told you, lived in Blue Mountain Beach, Florida, like right by Grayton and,

yeah, seaside and stuff. So like getting to go see her was pretty much a vacation. Um, but some of my favorite memories were just like going out into the country with my dad, like west of Fort Worth where people that know Texas are like, Yeah, there's not a whole lot out there until you hit Abilene. Yeah.

And throwing huge pieces of wood into like a stock tank so that they would float like battleships and then sitting there with my brother and my dad and throwing rocks at the sticks until you can snap them and break them enough that they would sink. Like that is literally one of my favorite memories as a kid is finding a good stick to go throw in the stock tank and then try and sink it with the rocks. and it's like that cost almost negative dollars, dude. Like that costs nothing. Like you can create that any sort of way.

So to your point, like I, yeah, any type of travel, dude. Like I remember we'd have like, we'd do like a, we'd go camping after like a baseball season was over. So I remember having fun memories just being in the sleeping bag. God. Being in the tent. But I'm sitting here like as I'm, as I'm thinking through it, it's like the parents, you just enjoy watching your kids have fun. and engaging and playing with your kids because your kids are,

they're so in the moment that again, all they need is some sticks. All they need is some rocks. Like they don't need much. It's just knowing that you guys are embracing the suck together, figuring out learning things in real time about each other,

getting to the destination. Mom and dad, you're kicking back, you're enjoying whatever you can because it's still work when you travel. Like when we went to Destin last year, like it's constant work when they're at certain ages, being young,

under three years old. Yeah. But the moments where you are finally relaxing or you are finally playing or you are just watching your kid play by themselves and the smallest thing entertain them. Like that is like the joy that you have behind going out on any adventure. Yeah. Because you don't have to go far. And again, I say that it's like I'm sitting here thinking through.

It's like, yeah, I'm sure people listen to. It's like you have the means to do yada, yada, yada. That's true. I'm very blessed that I get to do those things. Which is sick, dude. That's nothing. Yeah. That's not good to be like, oh.

Yeah. not ashamed though. I'm just thinking how it gets to where even it's relatable to people that could be feeling that way. It's like, dude, it doesn't take much, man. At all. And it will suck loading up the car. Oh, good. Good. You're going to forget to pack a couple

things for the kids. Go on. Yeah. They're screaming the whole time in the car ride because you're not playing the same song over and over. Good. They're not taking a nap when it's finally nap time. You just want them to relax. Good. Your two-year-old, three-year-old's fighting you on that time. I don't want to sleep. I don't want to sleep. I know

you don't want to sleep. I'm just letting you know if you want to close your eyes and let your head back and relax a little bit, you're more than welcome to. I don't want to. That's good. Good. That negotiation that yelling is good. She keeps on hitting the same drum button on her little cube game and goes, play the drop, play the drop play play play play play play. Play play. Play play. Play, play, play, play, play, play, play the drums. Good. This is life. This is what it's all about. Good. Keep hitting that annoying sound. Scotty, they had the little karaoke box out the other night, and Scotty was taking a microphone and just put it next to the speaker, so it was making that,

the blaring rotten-ass noise, and Rue's laughing. I'm like, hey, Scotty, stop. And she just looks up at me as a shit-eating granite keeps doing it. Good. This is a parent-hood. Bro, Scotty's all time. Scottie is an animal.

You're at whatever hotel you're at, they have a pool. Your kid wants to swim all day. It's finally time to relax. They don't want to go any dinner. They want to go to the pool. Hey, can we go to the pool? after, you finally just say, okay, fine, we go to the pool after, for the love of God.

Good. Scott, he just getting the microphone and getting microphone feedback and just evil smile. Bro, she's a menace. That's incredible. She's a menace, bro. She'll go and take, she'll go and, like, take Roos to her say, say, Roe, there's this, there's this little game that we have from, uh, from like the Everly, the Everly boxes. Oh, yeah.

Where it looks like Connect 4, but it's a sequence of colors. go down the line. So Rue fills them all, right? Yeah. Scotty will come over and grab one. Rue will get pissed. Scotty, no, Scotty. They'll be sitting there hand fighting. Scotty ends up grabbing one. And immediately when she grabs one, turns around and takes off running, I'm like, Scotty, give that back to Rue. And Rue will be kind of like crumbling a little bit, standing by the toy.

Like, Roo, you got, you can't, I'm like kind of laughing. You just can't let her. She knows you want that. So she sees that you give her a reaction. That's what she wants. she thinks you guys are playing. And Scotty, as I'm telling Rue that when she's about to crumble by the toy, Scotty's standing about five feet away, just standing there looking at Rue,

just wanting her to get up to kind of go after Rue. I'm back. See if Skate will give it to you. She's like, Scotty, can you give me that, please? Scotty will hold it out and take three steps. And then once Rue reaches out, she'll drop it down and turn and run. I swear. I swear.

I'll get it on film for you. Every, all the time. Y'all, at the zoo, I'm sitting there. and Scotty was like kind of in her own world but she was interacting a ton but she's like kind of in her own world like Scarlet is but she's able to actually see animals

point at animals and make you know that like and like look at me like look I see it like you look too so she was kind of sitting there and like eating her snacks and you were interacting with Roo showing them the monkeys I believe

yeah yeah like you are looking at that and Scarlett and Scotty are both just kind of in their own little world in their stroller. And I know that Scotty understands, like, y'all talk to her and tell her things as she does stuff. So I'm like, I know she understands. She's great at shaking her head, no. Yeah. So I was like, I'm just going to talk to her like an adult. And I was like, hey, Scotty, I was like, this is my daughter, Scarlett.

And I was like, you do a really good job of waving at people. I bet that she would like it if you waved at her. and Scotty literally turns to me and looks at me like this and just keeps on staring and I go if you want to you don't have to but if you want to wave at Scarlett

you can wave at her she probably like that and she's still just looking at me like this and she looks over her shoulder at Scarlett and she goes I was like that was incredible you're right though she is like in her own world

most of the time she's such she's She's such a joy to be around. Did you see the training for the Agap video? We're at our spot on vacation. No. And she's just over there going, eh. Oh, I'm sorry.

And she's just headbutting the door. Yes. You can see Bruce's reflection in the door. I sent you the video last night to where she climbs up on our own little slide that little rainbow. Where she like kick her, like pull her heels so that way she can get some traction to go down on this little. I mean, it doesn't stand very high. But she like falls down and kind of. falls down sideways, hits her head against the wall.

Like, falls in between that and like the beam back. Yeah, hits her head. Yeah, hits her head. You can hear the thud. Falls like in between the beam back a little bit. She just gets up smiling, bro. Gets up smiling and makes like a little like, eh. No, he's like, yeah.

Yeah. And I'm like, I showed that. Did I text you back on that? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, you did. Because I was like, that was hilarious. But I showed instantly Jill that video.

I was like, that's not normal behavior. but I mean like that's like pretty fearless right. She's yeah, Scottie is that way. She's way different than Roo. Roo would hit her head going down. She would have been crying. Yes. She'd been like, okay, maybe I'm hurt here.

I'm kind of embarrassed that I fell down. Yeah. Very much like the first child that thinks about everything. Yeah. But Scotty's got like this reckless abandon about her where she is kind of fearless. She is. To Jill's point, she sees a bunch of toddlers at her job.

Yeah. The only reason that I was interested in hearing like her perspective. and she was like, yeah. Like that's like a high thing that she just was like, I'm going to climb that. And then, hey, guess what? I think I'm going to jump off that too.

Oh, didn't stick the landing and just like ate it against the wall. Good. She's just like, what a stud, dude. We were in the, because we're at the kids pool most of the time, most of the days. And Scotties in like this one

where it's like one foot. Or it might be six inches, eight inches, one foot deep. And, you know, she'd be walking. And she would literally tip or fall over a slip. And she'd be sideways, like, under the water, in the water. And I'd, like, go down. I'll be laughing, come over and just kind of pick her up.

And she just be like, ah. And then get back up and just keep it going, bro. Or I'd, like, throw a little torpedo, rocket in the water. Shout of JP. JP got rude. And those are electric. And the kids loved them. But they'd be right underwater where Scott can reach out of grab.

But sometimes she'd miss and just, go like headfirst down on the water. And she's like, you know, reaching and get up. I'd be, we'd be like, oh, snap. After the first couple times you realize, like, man, she isn't. She doesn't care. She's not even phased. Like, bro, you're drowning.

That's going to be, I mean, that's literally like, let's say she's playing soccer, volleyball or whatever, like, in high school, she's going to, like, eat it. Like, she's going to get, like, hurt. And she's literally just going to be like, and just keep going. Like, that's so badass. And not even think about anything. else. Anything. Yeah. That didn't hurt. That didn't hurt. Um, God, dude. Hey, by the way, flying back was hell. The worst part about, I feel like vacation, too, is when you're leaving

vacation, you don't want to leave. And, um, you travel back. We took a red eye back for, so we left local time in Hawaii. 6.30 was the flight. And then we flew seven hours to Dallas. Kids slept. Kids did a great job sleeping. Mom and dad, we got zero sleep. For whatever reason, I just can't get comfortable in the plane. Yeah. Zero, bro. So when we got back, operated after a red eye, good. Yeah, good.

Operating on fumes, Charles' parents were over, Ola and Opa, we're over at the house. They helped for a little bit. But transitioning off a jet lag, that's probably the hardest part. Yeah. Coming back, because going there, it's not that bad. They still fall asleep.

They're exhausted. So they're tired. You might have a couple meltdowns right before bedtime, but overall, they go to sleep fairly quick. And then they're waking up early. You're waking up early, like four or five in the morning. Yeah. Because it's a four-hour time difference.

Yeah. But traveling back is a nightmare. It is. And it hit us on Saturday. Charles leaves Saturday. I got to wake up. This is my dad loss. A guy got to wake up because I'm handling everything for the weekend weekend activities.

Rue had ballet Saturday morning. Rue wanted to go. Her and mom have me up in Rue's room the night before prepping me on ballet. Like I know the outfit. But it's like she wants a ballet bun. She gets a ballet bun every weekend because mom was a phenomenal ballet dancer growing up. So mom always has her. prepped and ready to go to the pristine amount.

Like perfect little ballet bun. And Charles is showing me the bobby pins will be way too hard for you. You can twist it or wrap it around and you put another hair tie in. And Rue's kind of trying to coach me through it too. And I'm like, I got you, Rue. I got you. We'll get you right. I'm watching YouTube videos that night before, like I watched episode one and two of

a Night of the Seven Kingdoms. Then I'm watching a YouTube video on how to do like a ballet. Watching film. Just watching tape. Just watching tape. Yeah, watch a tape. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Yeah.

Dude, I don't set an alarm the next morning because usually the kids are up around 6.30, 7, all the time. Yeah. And I wake up in a panic because I think the monitor dies because I can't hear Scotty. And I kind of woke up on my own at 8.30. After mom comes down, leaves, puts her in the bed, she's got to get mom's sweatshirt. We've got to talk about what things we love about mom, what we're going to miss about mom, what we're going to do while mom's gone. and then we finally get back to sleep around like 6.15 in the morning. And I wake up at 8.30, bro, in a panic.

You know the feeling when you're just like, oh, shit, something happened here. And I'm on the wall. I'm on watch. Rue still passed out my bed. I'm like, okay, she's good. I see that's 830. I'm like, oh, shit, ballet's at 9. We're not going to make ballet.

I text my wife. I just text, hey, so I just woke up and we're not going to make ballet. And my wife's like, don't you feel like you can just get the kids up and get them ready to go. Scott, can go in her pajamas. basically make it happen. Yeah, it's probably not going to happen. But I see because I think the monitor might have died because Scotty's usually up crying something

because she went down at normal time the night before. Scotty was face down. She slept until about 9.15. She was getting those hours back. Yeah, Hawaii caught up to us. But Roo was bummed that we couldn't do ballet because we go upstairs. I'm like, let's get dressed.

I'm like, we're going to go to the zoo with Uncle Sherm and Scarlet. She's like, but what about ballet? I was like, oh, sweetheart, I told you we, we overslept. You overslept. You didn't wake dad up. Real.

And, wait. What are you doing? We overslept. Dad had did a poor job getting up. I couldn't get everybody going. Like, we missed ballet. We can't do ballet today.

Yeah. But I want to do the ballet bun. I want to do ballet. And I'm like, oh, shit. And you start feeling that something could be coming on if you don't figure out ballet. So I'm like, how about this? How about we get you ready for ballet?

Yeah. And I'll throw on a ballet class downstairs on the TV and you can do a ballet class. she's like, I wear the dress or what do they call them in ballet, two-toe? Leotard. Leotard. I can wear my leotard.

Like, sweetheart, yeah, let's do the whole get-up. I'll put you in a ballet bun. So I'm doing the ballet bun brushing her out. It takes me like three or four tries to get the ponytail in the right spot. I'm twisting around. That failed a couple times. I'm like,

then I finally just get it good. Failing over and over. You're up there sweating a little bit trying to do your daughter's hair good. Yeah. And I, I get that sorted out. We go downstairs and I turn on ballet, this 20-minute ballet class.

I kind of moved the living room to where she has space. She locks in and knocks it out, focus the whole time doing everything the person on TV is doing. So she ripped an entire ballet class on her own. I was so fired up in gas that we figured that out. Turn the dad loss into a dad win, parlay it into a zoo visit, get Scotty up and going. She's eating, having a good time watching Rood do ballet. And I'm telling you, dude, I know for a fact that Rue loved it because she told me about it at the zoo.

Oh, doing ballet on TV? Told me about it at the zoo. She asked what Scarlet's leggings were. And I said, those are leggings. I said, ballerinas, do they wear leggings? And she was like, they used to, but I wear socks. I don't wear leggings. I was like, that's right.

The only reason I knew that that was called a leotard is because I blanked at the zoo of what that was called. And I said, wait, what's the pink thing called? and she kind of looked at me and I was like, I really have forgot. Like, what is that pink thing that the ballerinas wear? And she goes, my leotard? I go, that's, that is it.

Good job, Drew. I was like, that is a hard word to say slash. She nailed it. Yeah, she was fired up. She was pumped. We did that. She was pumped, dude. So she was bragging a little bit about it.

That's awesome. That's awesome to hear. Just a warning to you both. We're getting close to an hour. Getting close to an hour. Close to an hour. So if we want to hit some hubby wifie shoutouts and it gets a voicemail, yes.

Oh, man, we're just, we're just going. We're getting closer to an hour. PT6 does not mind. We apologize. We do apologize.

I hope you've enjoyed the stories. I have a nice little dad hack. Yeah, you guys, there's some dad hacks. There's some different stuff. Yeah. You know,

to rip through some of the comments if you want and then we can get over. We have two voicemails today. Let's go. So I have a nice little dad hack because I have a dad hack of my own that I'll parlay after this. It's a very short. one. But our dad hack comes from Will Shear. Will says, hey Will and Sherm and boys in the back. This is Will Shear from Plumas Lake California. For the dads is my new favorite podcast. My wife is amazing and just gave

birth to a toddler weighing 10 pounds, five ounces. Yo, so much for all the jug or not. God bless me. Yeah. For anybody that has it like, 10 bouts, five ounces. Yo, so much for the all newborn clothes in the closet. Yeah, truly. His name is William Shear the fourth. Yeah. He will go by Liam.

Got a dad hack for PT6. When changing a newborn's diaper, their hands try to help. That's very true. When the onesie is unzipped from the bottom, pull it up to get it out of the way and tuck their arms in the onesie. to keep them secure. I've never heard this one. That's actually,

that's a great hack. The pod encourages me to stay locked in and present. Keep it up, boys. I got a dead hack, right? Clear throat. By the way, William Shear, the fourth,

gonna go by Liam. If, if, if, I get a boy someday. My wife and I are fortunate enough to have a boy one day. William the fourth because I'm William Earl the third. and in my brain he's going to go by Liam.

So shout out William. Shout out. William Shear. William Shear. William Shear. William, the fourth. Shout out William. Yeah. Shut out of William, dude.

Just being a torpedo. Liam's a great name. I think that's cool. Dad hack right here from Jordan on Spotify. Chase on. Jordan Chase on. Come on. Dad tip.

If you can't remember the month, the months, 16, 18, 23. Just say when their birthday was. example, they turn two in August or they will be three in February. Nice hack. I get stuck doing the math. That's why it's Jordan Chazon, not Jordan Chazov. Yeah.

Right there. He's locked in. I got Ryan McCollin on X. Just trying to get that fast pass to the shockwave. So this was sent into our four the dads. This was DM to us, I believe. This was the message that he wrote on a little breakfast sandwich which they got for the wifie and a little vanilla latte right there. And he wrote, to the world, you are just a mom.

But remember to Brooks, you are his whole world. Happy Friday and I love you. Hey, that is phenomenal. Yo, Ryan, this is Ryan. I bet that shockwave hit. Yeah. I bet that shockwave hit. I got to get that in the bag immediately.

Yeah. And I, dude, I have a little dad hack very quickly. it's called a hook on high chair. You can get them on Amazon for like starting at 30 bucks. It's a high chair that is portable that you can take to any restaurant and it slips onto the table

and you can tighten it and it will hook on to any table, dude. It's the best. I'm just, I'm telling you guys, hook on high chair, look into it. There's some very affordable options on Amazon and it just, it gives the waiters and,

servers so much more room at restaurants, dude. You can have it in the booth with you. Sick. Great dad hack. I got one here from Tommy Bennett on Spotify. Dad Hack, create a playlist for Baby with your favorite slow songs. I included our first dance, what we walked down the aisle to, and other special songs for me and Wifi. Play for Baby when you're rocking them in the early days, and they will associate those songs

with peace and calm. Now at eight months, it has become our bedtime playlist, a car meltdown playlist, can't wait for baby girl to watch our wedding video down the road and recognize these songs. That is, that is heartwarming right there. That's a dad hack. That's a wholesome dad hack. We want to get to Collins, voicemails. If you want to do hubby and wifie shoutouts first. Oh, hubby wifey.

We got to just three of those and then let's get into some voicemails. Hubby shoutout. I got it right here. It was hiding behind the, hiding behind the old iPad. Hubby shout out from Rebecca Driver on Facebook. Not a dad, obviously, but I wanted to give a shout out to my husband. he had a stroke in August, which has taken his mobility and his speech for now. And he still shows up for the kids. He was dancing in a hair salon today with our three-year-old.

He just lights up when our kids enter the room. He still tries to play catch. He still wants to tell them good night. His first real word after a stroke was our son's nickname. He's just so determined to let our sons know how much he still loves them, even if he can't speak. It's a great shout out, Rebecca. We're all pulling for you. Did she give a, she shout out his name.

We're all pumped for the hubby man. She sent a really nice video. She had recorded him dancing in his chair with the kid that was dancing across the salon and the, I mean, what a judge. So we got to run that video while that. A hundred percent. Dude, Rebecca's a good one, dude. That hubby's a good one too. Yeah.

No doubt. Hubby shout out. This one comes from Allie Seals. Ali Seals Richard on Instagram. Good morning. My husband is a big BT-Sixer.

We recently moved from Houston to my hometown, Louisiana, which has been an adjustment with our 15-month-old baby boy. Zach goes above and beyond to be a great dad and husband to us, whether it's a small

things like doing the dishes when I cook or the big things like planning for our future. He's the ultimate superhero dad and husband. I feel so lucky to have him as a husband and dad to our baby. Thankful for y'all's as well and hope this makes it on the soad. Well, Zach, I mean, happy. Zach, happy birthday.

he doesn't need a pep talk. He's already ready for the next fucking truck. Yeah, he does not need us. He realizes nobody's coming to save his ass. That's an accountability phone call. Can you believe that? I'll move on. Yeah, respect it.

Hey, boys. 26-year-old female here who watched the pod, big fan. Listening to the episode where Taylor announced his new baby on the way, congrats, Taylor. Congratulations. And at 147-48, you read your lesson of the week about how you never know when your kid greets you at the door for the last time. I just want to say, even as a 26-year-old,

I don't live with my parents anymore. I live states away from them. But every time that I'm home, once my dad comes through the door, I still go up and greet him. So it's still in your future. It doesn't go away if you raised the right kind of kids. So yeah, I love my dad.

I always will. Have a great day. Sweet, sweet victory, dude. that felt so good. I'm glad you made us listen to that. Yeah, I am too. That felt so good to hear, dude. She remained anonymous.

So to Anonymous's dad, shout out. Shut out. You're a good one, dude. That's so sick. Shout out moms again. Shout out moms again. I know we sit here and act of fool and act obnoxious, but... Moms are great.

We know who the real ones are. We do. We will say we know who the real ones are at all times. We're just joking. We love to bust balls and have fun. We do. We're joking. Courtney Strong wrote an email. Courtney Strong.

Will and Sherm. Advice needed. I'm a 29-year-old single woman looking to find my PT sicko. Your show gets me in the fields on every soad, hearing the love and grace you have for your wife and kids in all the PT sickos that share their time in the trenches or their crack of cold ones. I get to live my dream vicariously through all of you killer PT-Sixers. I was blessed with meeting a Superman of a single dad and imagined being his daughter's step in T6 in the future. It didn't work out. And that took all the wind out of my sales for that new chapter I desired. As a youngest child of four by over a decade and eight nieces and nephews, there's an unspoken pressure to find my PT sicko before the unthinkable happens to either of my parents.

I'm a hardworking, self-sufficient, loyal, financially stable and very laid-back, go-with-the-flow type of girly. I was blessed to purchase my own home last August. My nine-year-old golden-doodle dog is the center of my world as he is all I got for the day today. In parentheses, I have a wonderfully close and supportive family. And as he gets older, the fear sets in, I'll be alone. advice needed where should i be looking to find a good quality man that will be a great pt sicko i hesitate

to go on dating apps and don't go out to bars as often all my friends are either in long-term ships or getting married this is a midwestern uh michigan girlie that needs help from the real ones blessed for you boys Courtney strong Courtney sounds like a catch Courtney sounds like a catch, dude. Do we need to have our own dating app? There's got to be an ST6 or out there. Oh my God. It's a little curious.

Wait, she has her own house. She's got a cute dog. She's financially stable and she's like, go with the float girl. Send your submissions to our email and we'll maybe forward them along. Maybe we'll forward it to Courtney. Who knows? Send your picture and what you do,

Pt6 for a living and like why you could be her Pt. Sico or whatever. Maybe we'll make love here. Or if you're a SD-Sixer that wants to be a future PT-Sixer, you know? Yeah. What advice would you give? I feel like it's hard. Obviously, what's up?

You got advice? From our team and team six. All right. Advice from chef, our cement team six. What was your name again? Courtney. Courtney, I'm very serious when I say that this, go find the guy that if you're from Michigan,

when the mason blue are on, he's screaming at the team. Now that sounds crazy off the bat, but let me tell you, there's no one more loyal than a man who screams at the TV during a game while his favorite college football team is playing. I will stand by that to the day I die. You get a guy who is like, I don't care what it. No, it doesn't matter if we losing is not an option. That's a guy that's going to stick with you through thick and thin, especially if he comes from I would like to, I'm wearing a Nebraska shirt, find any question. Cornhuskers. Those are loyal people. Yeah.

You know. Any big 10 team, a lot of SEC squads out there. Those are the winners right there. And then you just got to put up with the fact they scream at the TV, but that's okay. So a fan of college football, a sicko fan of college football. Or good NFL franchise.

Or good NFL franchise. They don't support the team that they love. Maybe Courtney's not a sports girl. I would say this to Courtney as far as where I found the most success dating slash how I met Jill because I was set up on a blind date is the go you were set up on a blind date too Derek you were too I would say friends that you are very close with that know you

know what you love and love you and want to see the best for you want to see you succeed finding people that are like-minded to that friend group that you really resonate with and being set up I think is a great way to me. somebody that would be awesome. Yeah, I think that's great advice. Yeah, I just, I couldn't... I'm not a guru. I truly am not a love guru.

I didn't have a lot of game either. I can only imagine what the dating world's like now. Because a lot of it is, unfortunately, on the apps and everything else. I would say dip your toe in it. You probably don't want to pour a lot of energy into it because you seem like a real one. You don't want to mess around with the nonsense or the bullshit.

But maybe there's a gentleman or a PT, a potential PT sicko on the apps. Yeah. And you guys just both, you haven't found each other yet. Yeah, nothing against the apps. Nothing against the apps at all. But, you know, obviously it's like dudes ain't shit.

So a lot of times you're on there. Guys are trying to get car wash, have a little bit of fun, service, you know, keep it service level, maybe go on a date and that date. They want something to happen that night or that action.

Like, you know who you are. You know what you're worth. And so if you're interested in getting to the dating scene, it's just, I feel, for when she's like, I don't, I don't hit the bars at often. It probably seems like a hassle doing that. I get it. But if that's what you're

Bo Polini calling me. I love that so much. Hey, Coach Bo, you got to... You got to eat dating a good Lord. That actually, I kind of want you to do that. But if a priority in your life is finding a man, I would

say you approach it like anything else. Like no, you know, no stone left unturned, like trying to figure out what the vibes are you're going to hate some of them but it's worth trying yeah but Courtney finds somebody she seems like uh she seems like a good one somebody who's bought their own house has their own shit together laid bag vibes bro she sounds like a chiller um and yeah 29 is nothing i found mine at 31 loads of time left 29 you got loads of time i got married at 30 Courtney i got married at 30 yeah yeah rue is what three

How old am I? You're four years older than me. You're 36. Rue is three. So yeah, I got married at 32. Yeah. I got married to 32. You got plenty of time.

You got plenty of time. I know those fears are real, but you know what the fears to be so real that you're forcing the issue. And you settle. Yeah. So I continue to pour into things that give you energy.

Yeah. And the things that don't do away with them, I'm telling you at some point you're going to find, you're going to find your person. And if you find your person through things that bring you life and bring you joy and happiness, I would say nine times out 10, that's going to be a winner.

Yeah. Whether that's hobbies, friends, family, whatever. That's a good question. It's kind of a tough question. It's a tough question. Especially without knowing Courtney and knowing more context and everything else. And respect to her for trustiness. Yeah.

Yeah. I have an email here from Hector Santa Maria. What's up, boys? Hector here from Washington State. I'm here watching the Valentine's episode with my five-day-old on my chest. Good. wifey next to me getting the very much needed sleep.

I had called in earlier this week saying I was in the hospital with Wi-Fi while she was getting induced. Let's just say this week has been a very traumatic one. From sitting with my wife in the labor room to getting rushed out due to needing an ASAP emergency C-section and my wife going into full anesthesia, our baby girl's heart was dropping low. Not knowing how my girls were doing, all I could do was cry. I hated to help us feeling or the unknown of what could happen.

thankfully our little our little fighter pulled through come on hearing or watching you guys every week has made me feel ready to be in the trenches and raise our first girl keep up the hard work boys you guys are doing the lord's workout here roos scotty and scarlet will be so proud of their dads p s can andy record himself reading the book so we can play them for bedtime shout out out andy got some that's a sicker right there um we have tear jerkers i do have a sad alert one so while i'm just feeling the vibe. Like, let's just... Okay. Let's just dive in. By the way, Hector, shout out to you, man.

There's nothing, you know, your little five-day-old laying on your chest while mom gets much needed sleep. It's been a grind with the kiddos at times doing the solo dad parenting with mom out of town. But it's a grind that's worth it.

It's like the diaper, the diaper pelt, you know, fills up and you're sitting there pushing on it and you're like, all right, I got to take out the goddamn trash. I got to take out this diaper pill. It's smelling up the place.

You got to do all these things. But Rue has been, we do sleepovers with mom out of town or if I'm out of town, Rue will do a sleepover with mom, to where she sleeps on our bed. So she's been ripping with me for like four nights in a row. And it's some of the best times of my life, dude. Of my life. Like last night I crawled in bed around 10.30. And Rue just rolls over and, like, lays on my shoulder.

And I'm just smiling, like, kissing her on top of the head and just be like, man, this is, it's going to fly by. It is flying by. And it is incredible. Because some nights, and I forgot to tell this, this is actually a, a fun little update because a while back, I talked about how I hadn't read the book that my mom filled out and wrote in for me.

Cracked it open over these last few nights. No, you didn't. I did because Rue was missing mom so much that I was trying to find ways to calm her down and I'm like, I know sweetheart, dad I miss his mama too. And I'm like, you know, I miss my mama and kind of telling her about my mom and talking about what happened.

My mom passed away. How did she, so your mom died? I was like, yeah, my mama died. And she's like, how, and I'm kind of taking her through it. And I was like, mama, my mom rolled me a little poke over here. And I'm like, hey, look, I miss my mama too. I miss my mama every day. Your mom is going to be back in a couple days.

And that is amazing that mama's going to get to come home. And you're going to be so happy when mama comes home because I miss your mama. I miss mama too. And I empathize with you because I miss my mama. And there are things like you have your sweatshirt right here. You have things to remember by because, again, she's going to come back. And I have a couple things that I get to remember with my mama too. You know, I'm showing her a couple photos, the wedding photos,

and telling her how excited she was to meet you. And we're connecting over all this stuff just because of missing mom. And so I pull out the book because we do bedtime stories. And it felt like just the stars aligned to pull out the old book. And I'm like, you know what? Like, I'm going to read this book. And she's just filling out a bunch of things where it's like memories and asking questions and my mom growing up and when I was first born and what she, God, I hate crying,

what she envisioned for me and all these things. And we're just sitting here going through and I'm just reading to her. And she'll see tears coming out of my eyes. Dad, why you said, I'm like, I miss my. You know what? I miss mom too. So we can lay here together. We can cry together. Like it's, you know, mama's going to come back. It's going to be awesome. Mama loves you so much. And it makes dad, I feel good to talk about my mom to you. Yeah. Because sadly, it's like you'll never get to meet her. But so your boy read the book.

And honestly, when I got done, the next night, she wanted to read that book. She's sitting on the bed. I have a photo. She's on the bed flipping to the book. I take a picture and send it to Charo because I'm telling her, I'm like, hey, I read the stuff my mom filled out and wrote for me. And it's been on. awesome. It felt like that was like the perfect moment to bring it out and do it because she was just, she was struggling with mom out of town because you do FaceTime and mom's at dinner and it's

just, you know, it's just brutal. It's just brutal how much you like, it's sad and misses mom. And then these last few nights, I've just been, we read different parts of the book. I'll be like, well, here's a question that was asked to mom. Here's what, here's what she said. Are those pictures of those your brothers or are those your family? And as, you know, it's just drawings and illustrations of other people in the book. And, but yeah, dude, each night I've got to, like, crack up in that book and read just a different, different portion. Well, I've read through it all.

It's not, like, the longest thing in the world. But it's been a joy. Like, it's been fun. And we get to connect over it just because of just the fact of, like, missing mom. So I'm trying to tell her, I'm just like, sweetheart. And, you know, I'm thinking, hey, I miss my mom, too. That I miss his mama, too. Your mama?

Where's your mama? Beck, was it The lady that grandpa was with? I'm like, no, that's not Mama. You didn't get to meet Mama. And we just get to go through. I'm like, that's your grandma. You know, the pictures we see,

I'm like, that's Grandma. She wrote in this book. That's her handwriting. But so on update, I did read the book. I love you very much. And I'm very proud of you. I'm very happy for you. Thank you, brother.

That makes me very happy. Yeah. it was good man it's when even when i got done and i'm like you know sitting there laying through and everything else i was like uh i was like damn it felt like this was the moment like it all this was this was how i was supposed to go down so i tell myself anyway but uh that was the right moment yeah so let's have into this sad alert i know grant overholster on facebook sad alert love the content here's my story i'll keep it brief my daughters and i I lost their mom in 2017.

I was stationed in New York, and they lived in Arkansas. The military kept us apart. I moved to Arkansas the same day she passed. Guys, what a shock. I took lessons on how to do hair, how to cook, and how to raise girls, and I'm still learning. When I moved to Arkansas, the crew I flew with in the Marines in New York all died in a plane crash five months late. not only did I have to navigate being a single dad, but I had to figure out,

and figure my shit out mentally. If their mom hadn't passed away, I would have been... Damn, man. He would have been on that plane. He would have been on the plane. Yankee 72 was the crew. Here I am nine years later.

My daughters are crushing it. I'm crushing it. And my wife adopted our daughters. And we have a son now. Thanks for being great dudes And thanks for being a great outlet to escape Grant hats off to you, brother I can't

You can't imagine going through something like that Thank you for considering us as great dudes Yeah Because they hear that from somebody that's been through all that It's a pleasure to have you listen to our show And find joy from it It's a pleasure And then it's like

Now I sit here and we talk about put a boat on it And shockwave we obviously talk about all you know great stuff that we love and the passion about that's Grant bro we dude we love you that is it's just another perspective

it's just another story that reminds you that whatever you're going through there there are things out there that people have went through that just that just shock you and then make you think dude how lucky are we yeah and even Grant I'm sure there's other perspectives that he finds

he's like man it's still how lucky am I you know that sucks that's brutal but no one nine years later he found a wife who adopted her his girls who he grinded to help raise yeah and i'm sure he was super protective along the way like letting anybody else come into that world do you know what i mean yeah like you know how hard that would be just thinking if i was in that situation how like guarded you'd be for anybody to kind of come into your house or help raise your girls with you or have other opinions or things that kind of might hit insecurities of yours or triggers or things where you're like, no, I need to protect my daughters with anybody that I bring in my house.

Yeah. And to find somebody to like have a family with to feel like, hey, yes, I would, I would be an honor for you to adopt my daughters. And then, you know, have a son. That's hard, man. Finding your way with all that going down. He's, um, imagine your wife.

passing away and you're you're off in the military. But the added guilt too of like the only reason that he's still here and kicking in his mind is his wife's passing as well. Yeah. That added layer is like that has a lot to work through mentally. Yeah. That's crazy. On the mental side of being with your unit, being with your team, a team that it's all

sacrifice. It's all I'm responsible for the group, not myself. And the guilt that you probably carry like I should, I should be, I should have been on that plane. And also like, no, God was telling me something because I shouldn't have been because if I was on that plane and both of them were lost, yeah. Like, I don't know what happened.

I don't know what happened with his wife. But if he goes down on that plane because Mom's still alive and then whatever happened to Mona happened after that. And then baby boys not even in the picture. Yeah, man. Golly. What was his name? Grant.

Grant. Overholster. He's, uh, on Facebook. I crept a very heavy. Happy birthday, Grant. It was February 2nd. So happy birthday to Grant. Happy birthday grant.

And Grant, if you've listened to this episode, you get two fun coupons. Yeah. He does. Gotta break up the sadness with laughing. Do you want me to put a bow on it with a little Dan Gable? Yeah. Please give us a Dan Gable quote. The Pt6, so that we've been laughing.

We've been trying to chime in with opinions, trying to find the next BTC. fixer for Courtney, like feeling all things crying, being sad. Like, what are we talking about moments? Yeah. We need a dangable quote. Circumcision. Dude, in the book, it was, my mom wrote, it was something about when I was born, the first thing my dad said. And it was, he was asked to cut the cord.

And, uh, or asked, hey, do you want to cut the cord? And his first, his response that my mom has written in there. is do you have somebody more qualified? Did he end up doing it? I believe so. Billy boy. Billy. What a legend.

You got somebody more qualified? That's the Duke of Bonte guy there. I can see him laugh after saying that joke. I'll cut the gourd. Go right here. Give me that shit. What do I do? This comes from.

a young Dan Gable. This is back in the 1970s. This comes from a very rare source of material of him talking to a wrestling camp of kiddos in the 70s. And I quote, everything my high school coach

told me was exactly right. Back then, when I listened to him and he told me, you do this, you do that, you'll be a better person, and all this and all that, I just thought it was a bunch of garbage. But everything he said was right.

If I would have done what he said, I'd be a lot better off today than I am right now. You don't really learn from the clinics and wrestling by yourself. You learn from watching. I don't care how good the guy is or how bad the guy is in wrestling. I can learn things from watching you guys wrestle. Almost every one of you probably have, has a certain thing you do differently or a favorite hold.

If I can pick that up, that's just going to add a little bit more to my wrestling knowledge. It's going to help me a lot. Dave Gable. He was like he was a little jet. And he was like, this is garbage. This guy doesn't know what he saw. He don't know what he's saying. But I should have listened to him.

Every single thing he said was right. That's kid. That's life right there. That's life. That's us right now thinking about everything our parents told us. Yeah. That's going to be our kids thinking about what we tell them, one day.

What our grandparents were telling us? Yeah. Dude, one of my, I just want to say this, one of my favorite sodes. I try not to do that at the end of Sos, but this was truly one of my favorite sets. This was a great Sode. This was. Yeah. It was fantastic.

If you got something out of it, if you have a win, a loss, something you want to share, do not hesitate to comment. Yeah. Do not hesitate to call in. Even if you want to just say, oh, I fucking forgot to take out the trash. See you. Well, don't forget, you said the comment to P.T. Fit. That was our comment.

That's right. We've covered a lot in this episode. We've got to get P.T. Fit. God save these people. Are listening to this podcast. Oh, I'm a P. Hey, after four months. Yeah. One of the photos called, uh, transformational.

Before and after. Yeah. The transformational photos. I'm a P.T. Fido. Just. The before is the PT Thicko and then it's into the P.T. Fido. P.T. Thicko to P.T. Fitto is unreal, Derek. God. That was incredible.

I love you guys. Take out the trash. Yeah, do it. I got to give you a hug. That was a good zone. 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.
