They make them so easy right now, and I listen, I've blown.

I've blown it with any brain that I use, because I don't I don't really know what I use.

Speaker 4

I think it's the noon.

Speaker 3

Let's go, let's go find out after the pod.

By the way, we gotta lock this in.

Speaker 1

But the car seat bass is that you just kind of snap in and then you put the car seat on top.

No like using the seat belt and doing on the maneuver like the wrestling in the back seat.

You gotta do so on the car seat bass is in my truck YEP, she's got to be in the backseat wrestling the seat belt to get her locked in.

Speaker 4

But that's what I'm dealing with right now.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I'm dealing with forgetting to change Scarlet's diaper before I take her into daycare.

I obviously change her when she wakes up, but I'm just dropping off a poop and grenade to the daycare worker.

Speaker 4

And you what's crazy.

Speaker 1

Too, is you'll smell it and you'll just be like, I know what's going on.

I'm hating you a grenade right now.

As I look you in the eye.

I'm gonna pretend that I don't smell anything.

Speaker 2

Or they take her.

Speaker 1

Like, oh, oh, you got a little sticky that.

Oh, she must have just did that.

Then I just changed her before I got her in the car.

That just happened.

That's crazy.

It's a podcast for the dad's, the wins, the losses.

We just essentially talk about our experiences as fathers.

My dog SHRM or also known as Fat Stafford on the show, has a four month old five month old Scarlet yep, beautiful baby girl.

I have a three year old Roue and a one year old Scottie who just turned one last week.

Reasons Reasons, what are the reasons why people tune into the show.

Shirm uh community community.

Speaker 4

That's probably that's that's number one.

Speaker 3

Dads are just straight up in the comments, putting other dads on game, telling funny stories themselves.

I berely laugh at at some of the comments.

Speaker 4

I did too.

Speaker 1

It almost feels like it's just refreshing that we know we're all going through this shit together.

Yes, like we're not the only ones who just forget to change or change the diapers, or forget the car seat in the car.

Speaker 3

Yes, it makes you realize how human we all are, and it just makes life that much easier.

As I keep on I'm grading myself too hard, and I see the pet sikos in the comments, I'm like, okay, I'm in the dridge as well.

Speaker 1

It's okay.

And for those new people tune it in.

Our community is called Papa Team six.

If you are a father, if you are somebody who's trying to be a father, that means you're going through buds training, breeding until dad status.

If you are not a father, not looking to be a father soon, we have those listeners.

We have that kind of community as well, or they just love to tune in and listen to Dad's talk shop.

Maybe excite them about becoming a father one day.

Maybe they're like, this is the birth control pill that I need to not be a dad right now.

Either way that your community is called Semen Team six ST six.

The leader that had honch over that is Chef Jack over there.

And then you got the Funkals, you got the fun uncles.

We got Deeke in the back.

The captain is Seman Team six.

Speaker 4

He's the captain.

He's the captain, He's the leader.

He is he definitely is.

He's the leader and all and the Funkles headed up by Deeke.

Yeah, we're just covering everything.

We're growing the family.

Speaker 3

Speaker 1

That sounds about right.

Fifteen hundred away from ten thousand subscribers on the channel.

Speaker 3

Uh, give us a little follow, give us a little and that's across the board.

That's across that's TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Yeah, the Amazon.

Speaker 4

One formerly known as Twitter, the Amazon one.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 4

Reddit.

Is there a Reddit page out there yet?

There is a Reddit page out there?

I kind of need a Seaman Team six Reddit page.

Yeah.

I think that will be more fun with the gooon berets a bunch of Yes, there's also boom berets out there.

Speaker 2

Those are a wild cards.

Those are the young cats.

Those are the young cats out there.

Is that is Matt in that division?

Nerded we I.

Speaker 1

Would say, Matt, who's one of our social media producers for Busting with the Boys, he is one thousand percent of goon Beret.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I have video evidence that pre Matt.

Yeah, and then dudes.

Speaker 1

To be around you know, they're guys, guys, but they also got a little d bag in him.

Speaker 2

I could already see mass reaction.

Speaker 4

He's gonna he throw the hands up.

Speaker 2

You may get way too dramatic.

Well, An, they're talking about me before the dad.

He'll never watch this.

Maybe his dad does a quick, a quick thing.

And while we're on this topic, where's Jared Beamon demon I said, did we discuss this?

Because he wanted to know where he fell in on stream?

He did.

He was very he unlike Matt would watch this and would love to know because he was.

Speaker 1

Already interested in Like, because we'll be on a Thursday night football stream, So anything we have going on with Bustle with the Boys, say we're streaming, we'll have Papa Team six ers jump in the chat, be like PT six for life or shout out PT six.

So we'll start calling it out because we know we know what it is with Papa Team six Yeah.

Speaker 4

Oh man.

Speaker 1

Then they peaked Jared's interest, like, Hey, what you guys got going on?

We were kind of breaking down the commune that he's in.

The tears to him and.

Speaker 4

I'm seeing all these sickos, all these sickos.

I want to be a sicko, Like you make a good six he would.

I personally think he's he's right now.

He's in the Semen Team six.

He's in the Semen Team six.

He's got himself a lady.

They live together.

Speaker 1

He's not in buds training, they're not you know, it's not like they're one kids anytime soon.

So he's a prime candidate for Semen Team six.

He's not a goon beret.

He's more he's he's matured out of the goon beret status.

Speaker 3

And I have evidence that he is full Semen Team six from this past weekend.

We did a little hangout with him and mcas Franklin.

Speaker 5

He was talking big about how he did this weekend, and I don't know his performance about how well he did, so I'm excited to hear the truth.

Speaker 2

He did do one thing.

Speaker 4

To hell, he did more than one thing, but he did do one thing to help me on Saturday, and he looked at me and he goes talk about that on the pod.

Speaker 1

And the difference people might be wondering, like, you got a couple of young cats, they're in their twenties.

Yeah, what separates Jared from being Seemen Team six and Matt being a Goombrey.

Jared has his own responsibilities, He pays his bills.

Matt sleeps east.

I think he sleeps on a race car twin with his parents right now.

Like he's ripping around.

I know he hates if he listens, he's gonna hate hearing.

But to me, that's the separation of a goom Beret and a Seemen Team sixer.

Speaker 3

No, I think he would fully agree.

And when we told him that he was a Goombray, he got excited about being a goombre.

And I think that that is a tailtale sign of a true gooner.

Speaker 2

Yeah, of a true gooner.

Speaker 3

And so I think he is not only happy to be in the Goombreys, but he could be an early leader of the Goombras.

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, anyone he could.

You know, he's gonna love this breakdown.

Rizzo is gonna love this.

Speaker 4

Yeah, Matt.

Speaker 2

Matt's definitely gooble Ray.

You're gonna be sitting there sipping his call.

I see that kits and I forgot my Barsita base too.

Speaker 4

You know my truck.

But that mad sleeping on a race car bed.

Speaker 2

That's of a bitch.

Them boys are funny.

Speaker 1

We kind of got off, We kind of got off the rails there a little bit.

Yeah, let's bring it back on.

Ways to get on the show, all right, Shum said it.

The reasons we love this community are reasons we love this brand so much is because of the community.

Speaker 4

You cannot hit the group chat but then just go back to sleep.

Speaker 2

Yeah, oh that would be that'd be diabolical this actually, but that's how we do it.

Speaker 4

That's why we keep each other accountable.

Speaker 1

And maybe if the community, if they're like in with it too, like, maybe we could just whether it's a bad signal, we put up some gift in.

Speaker 2

The mornings that yeah, seldom selfies out of the bed.

Speaker 1

Yeah, your care so, but if we just drop a certain emoji or a gift or whatever it is now selfie and people can start engaging with it whatever, that's the way we can all the community.

Speaker 4

Yeah, accountable.

Speaker 2

I do like that.

Speaker 1

I shout again, shout out Tom for bringing up this slump face.

We're all we're all in the trenches together, bro, we are.

I know he's got a six month old at home, very similar to yourself.

Speaker 3

Yes, yes, And that actually goes into a little bit of my schedule change stuff that I've been trying to implement, uh for the slump.

So I don't know why I'm fighting this morning routine so much because I'm kind of implementing it and I already love it.

Speaker 4

Okay, so we'll dive into that.

We're diving into it.

We'll dive into it.

Speaker 3

Barker on YouTube said pt Siko of three month old baby boy already starting to teethe and crying uncontrollably.

Speaker 4

Dads and he stopped crying immediately and was walked in on the pod.

Much love boys Wolf Emeggie.

Hmmm, shout out to pt sicco.

Come on, bark we got one here from West Coast.

Speaker 1

Savage on YouTube, First Night First time listener, Future a long time listener.

Then e K chimes in says, great, Soed, that's good.

Speaker 4

That's it.

Speaker 1

That's all that's all we got.

That's just great.

Great so first time listener, Future, long time listener I did.

It fires me up.

It tickles my pickle when it's like somebody they have a new kid and they just come across the episode, they come across one episode, or people say like they hold themselves to a standard of I didn't want to leave my first comment until I was all the way caught up because we're only what twenty three episodes.

Speaker 2

In, Yeah it's me episode twenty four.

Speaker 1

This is episode twenty four.

Like we're we're we're new we're newborns right now, we're in the newborn phase.

But I love the fact that the pt sikos they understand the assignment with Papa Team six and it's like my comment ain't worth the shit until I get all these episodes.

Speaker 3

My stride gott to earn the badge, and I love all the intro stuff, like the comments that I'm getting from the dads who are very soon to be dads, and those guys are the ones that are really starting to like lock in.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

I have another one from Toby Bradford.

Read it six one one six.

He said, Dad, hack, get a frame for your kid's art.

They make a frame that has a really deep backing so you can stack new pictures over each other whenever they make a new piece of art.

Speaker 4

I fucking love that.

Speaker 1

That's a great dad hack because one thing that uh we've done, Charle got this big container, like this long container where basically all of rue her art has went into and we've like stored it.

And I just think in my mind, because I saw some sick go out there, like building this incredible collage that I will never be able to put time and energy into.

Oh okay, be able, that's I am too lazy to put that time and energy into make it.

This collage type of art piece that he made.

I would love for that to be.

Speaker 3

In my mind, all the kid's art is one artp piece like you all together sign.

Speaker 1

He's used a bunch of different so I'm talking Elmer's glue, I'm talking massive frames pieces.

Speaker 4

So he got a flamethrower out at one point.

Speaker 1

But anyway, hearing that dad hack gasses me up because I think that is an incredible, unincredible idea.

Because we have all the art pieces, there's gonna be something we want to do, and I think that would be I think that'd be badass.

Speaker 3

That would that would be badass.

Another dad hack that I've seen It's one of my favorite uh like tiktoks I've ever seen.

These parents hosted an art show at their house of their little five year old's work, and they had him like hanging and all these you know, like fancy frames and stuff, and then they just had a projector shooting onto like their living room wall of like all of her work kind of cycling through, and they got her a barstool to like sit next to the projector so she can sit there to like answer questions for people that were coming here.

Speaker 4

It's awesome, man, bro.

Speaker 3

It was one of the best things I've ever seen, one of the best things I've ever seen.

My mom's an artist, so I love that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2

But that's all time.

Speaker 3

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1

So I watched Terminal List Dark Wolf first because that came out in twenty twenty five, and I was just kind of looking for a new show.

Speaker 2

Charle was she had a show she was watching, and.

Speaker 1

I could tell football game was on one night and she's like, you're gonna go upstairs and watch the game.

I'm like, yeah, like she's wanting to watch this show, this show.

But I was curious, like what shows are out there right now that I consume.

Speaker 4

So I'm on Amazon Prime and I see Terminalist, Dark Dark Wolf, and I see it's Taylor Kitchen Chris Pratt.

Speaker 1

I'm like, oh, I bet this is badass.

I looked up the Terminal List on Google and I see it was a seven point nine on IMDb.

That's good enough for Willy c to watch a show.

And I'm thinking the Terminal List and I'm marrying that to the Terminal List Dark Wolf.

So I watched Terminalist Dark Wolf.

This show is incredible.

This show is incredible.

Government conspiracy, cels CIA like all this stuff.

Speaker 2

It's amazing.

Speaker 1

And I'm watching this and I'm typing in like, is there a sequel or anything else?

I see that the Terminalist the initial rating that I looked up, the seven point nine was from just the original Terminal List.

There's one that came out in twenty twenty two that was the sequel or dark Wolf was a prequel, Yeah, the Terminal List in twenty twenty two.

Speaker 4

So I'm like, oh shit, I just watched the prequel.

Now I get to watch the real thing.

Speaker 1

I watched that the way that one ends, I'm thinking, how do you make a sequel off of that based on what happened one of the biggest twists of my life no spoiler, no spoiler, boiler's biggest twist in my life.

Speaker 3

Dude, what for any Will Compton sick goes out there?

Speaker 1

It gets me reading these fictional books because it sounds great in theory.

I'm more so fired up that the dude reached out.

I'm communicating back and forth to them, feeling grateful that he wants to send me a set and potentially get Jack Carr on the bus because I love to pick his brain about what's in the what's in the pipe.

Yeah, for the next year, Like, you gotta make another one somehow.

Maybe it's a prequel to the prequel, or it's all based around their seals and their teams, because what happens is they break off.

Speaker 4

Dude, you gotta watch it.

They're doing a mission in Iran.

They eleven of the twelve get taken out.

Chris Pratt's the only one that survives.

Well, there's another one that survives.

I'll tell you this are don't.

Speaker 2

Don't spoil it.

Speaker 4

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not spoiling it.

This will be in the synopsis.

Speaker 1

I think it's a set up and he's trying to put it to how he got set up, and there's so many different angles where the setup could come from.

Speaker 3

I'm done.

Speaker 2

I'm done.

I'm done.

Speaker 4

That's a synopsis that's not giving it up.

All right, you gotta watch it.

This is a good sign that I'm gonna watch it.

Yeah, I know it.

Speaker 2

Dude.

Speaker 3

When there's movies coming out that I'm legitimately excited for, I don't even watch the trailer.

Speaker 1

Yeah, this is this is one where as I'm reading these grim fairy tales the rue while she's going to bed, and we'll get into the rou and these grim.

Speaker 2

Faery we'll get it in a second.

Speaker 4

We'll get in.

Speaker 1

But I'm sitting there and when I walk on, when I walk out of her room, I'm thinking, oh, it's time to go put on some terminal list.

And I'm like, you know, go down.

My wife's like, oh, you gotta go study, and like yeah, I gotta go study, and mind you, I do study.

But once it's like nine thirty hits, I'll get in an episode.

This is more so last week.

Now I'm done with terminal list of them, both of the show, both of the series are.

Speaker 2

Done for me.

Speaker 4

But last week, like bro's putting in some hours because it had me and captivated.

It had me right, he captivated.

Captivated.

Speaker 5

Dude is an insane badass too, which one pers Wikipedia.

Jack Carr is his pen name.

His real name is George Peterson.

George Peterson decided at the age of seven, when he found out about the Navy Seals, that that's the career he was going to pursue.

He spent over twenty years in the Naval Special Warfare Command.

There were two careers he wanted to have his whole life.

Navy Seal author.

This dude is like the baddest of badasses too, So it's not just some writer fantasizing about this stuff.

Speaker 3

He's lived this shit.

Speaker 1

That's yeah, that's amazing.

And we're just podcasting right now.

Once they got to do with fatherhood, n what does that have to do?

Glad you asked.

You got to have a side quest in your life that you enjoy, that you feed yourself personally.

Right now, when I'm down in the dumps, it's like I'll latch onto some more TV.

Speaker 3

Yes, dude, I was talking with you.

Speaker 4

I desperately need to pour into me more like I I feel very selfish saying that, and I feel very selfish in doing it, but I also realized with how much I'm uh like about work and Scarlet's life and all these things, like I.

Speaker 3

Need to have some balance for me.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and again we've talked about it at length before on past episodes, but it's truly it's prioritizing it.

Yes, it's like sitting down and writing some shit out, and i'll write stuff out, I'll forget, I'll fall into the slump.

Speaker 4

But to me and my brain for it not to sound selfish, it's like, how you know.

Speaker 1

How are you going to take care If you're not taking care of yourself, how are you going to take care of everybody else?

You'll take care of everybody else, but you have zero energy for yourself.

At some point, it's gonna come to a boiling point.

Yeah, back, what you know, where's that come from?

Where's that attitude come from?

Speaker 4

What's going on?

What's this?

Speaker 2

What's that?

Dude?

Speaker 3

Jill and I had And this might be like the ultimate segue segue, but I'm trying to stay on topic.

Speaker 4

Jill and I have like the ultimate.

Speaker 3

Vomit of emotion and like I need support and I feel supported from you, but like just a reminder that we're a team.

It was so it was sick, dude.

It was on Sunday and we went we went to Ruby Sunshine, had a great brunch and we're walking around and as we're walking around, we're talking and we're talking about being in Nashville and being away from family and missing friends and being homesick and like finding our place here and it's hard because we have scarlet and date nights we haven't been doing them.

And it was like this all of a sudden, it kind of came to ahead of Jill being like, Sherman, I know that you're feeling these types of way about yourself because this is me talking like this, and Jill's like, I know that you're feeling these types of ways, like I feel those types of I feel that way too, and I feel like I don't get to voice that, Like you you don't really ask me about that because you're feeling it.

I'm also feeling that.

And we need to be there for each other.

We need to be better teammates in this moment because we are the two closest people in each other's lives, and like, let's be here for each other let's celebrate each other.

Let's like we both do a bad job of communicating I need help or I'm struggling.

Speaker 4

Yea, because you.

Speaker 1

Guys and give people a die or some context in your guys' work lives too.

Oh yeah, like like you're you're you know, you put in work here at Bustin.

Your wife Jill, she's a nurse, Like her hours are crazy.

Speaker 3

Her hours are crazy.

She puts in a ton of work.

Speaker 2

Uh.

Speaker 4

Today we're talking like the nurse schedule two is like twelve hour days.

Speaker 3

Yeah, oh yeah, and well and it's like twelve hour day, but it's really like a thirteen fourteen, fifteen hour day depending yeah yeah, and she's you know, her schedule's crazy, Like they switched her shift this week.

So instead of Mondays how I always take Scarlett in on Mondays, I took her in this morning, which I usually don't get here till nine, but I did the whole Uh.

I told these guys, I like prepped them for it that I was gonna get up extra early, feed Scarlet extra early, and have everything knocked out before I even woke up Scarlet, so then we're ready to go.

So I had that five am wake up this morning and it kicked ass.

It felt good, so that you know, I do want to do the workout thing, even though my body's like I don't.

Speaker 4

Yeah, stay on it, stay on it.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

But with the with the Jill stuff, with the wife stuff, it it was just like a really really good reminder that I not only am married to this person and I have a child with them, and I live with them cohabitate, but like this is my best friend, this is my life partner, that we are in this together, and if anybody is going to have my back, and if anybody's gonna have her back, it's each other.

And we have to have that for each other.

And we just have this like, you know, she's crying telling me how proud she is of me and thinks that I'm killing it, but also like I miss you and like I need you in these ways, and I'm sitting there like I'm proud of you, Like I can't believe that you don't think anybody's proud of you for being an incredible mom, because you're literally the best freaking mom in the entire world.

It's crazy.

My mom's sitting there bragging about you.

I'm bragging about you, but you just you get so caught up in life, you get so caught up with everything that's going on with the kid.

It was like a little reset button of like, man, we got to like pour into each other way more way and pour into ourselves.

Yeah, she's got some stuff on her end that she's got to start investing in herself more.

Speaker 4

Right, Yeah, we all do.

Speaker 1

I want to say one thing I heard that you were saying is the whole like you're you're doing all these things.

Speaker 4

I'm so proud of You're crushing.

Speaker 2

It, but I miss you.

Speaker 4

It is It is like it's you get in these seasons and it happens.

Speaker 1

It's how it happens with me and Charlie all the time because she, you know, with bar going on, she's a business owner.

We're doing all the things busting bar.

And the little time you do have it's at home.

It's it's really all into the kids or the kid, like you're trying to get make sure they're all good.

Speaker 4

You're you're.

Speaker 1

You're quickly kind of catching up on your day, but you're not really connecting.

You're kind of just checking the boxes and then like when the kid goes down, depending on what the next day looks like you're either tired or you want to catch up on some sleep or some rest, or you kind of feel bogged down or you have to for the next day, whatever that is, to where you're not like spending that quality time, to where it just comes down to, like, you know, we live in the same house.

We're more roommates than anything else, like I miss you.

One thing that Charles does a really good job of is like after if I would encourage anything, it would be following up on that conversation and just getting something in the books for you too, so you guys can do one of these things, whether it's a brunch of coffee, a date night, a stay cahit, whatever it is.

Yeah, what Charlo does a really good job of is staying on that pressure of getting something.

Speaker 4

On the calendar because it's for me like I'll just get I'll just get going, and I'm not like she is very good at doing that, to where hey, we have this, we have a scheduled date night here, it kind of gets all set up, but if you don't follow up, it'll just kind of continue to happen and then we still go by and you'll have the same type of situation.

Charle and I had one last night, like if I have a dad.

Speaker 1

Loss, there was an intentional being there in the present moment happening last night, Like it was we got done with dinner and we're all trying to catch up dinners.

Kind of it's not kay, but Rue wants attention.

We're trying to get Rudy, you know, Scotty's eating, she's throwing food off the plate.

Tro and I are trying to have a conversation.

Speaker 4

I'm trying to tell her about terminal list, but us kind of like us just having time where I Troll and I are actually trying to have a conversation where we're catching up.

We're telling each other stuff, but Rue wants your attention what's going So then you got to redirect your attention to Rue, and we kind of our conversation gets kind of you know, kicked off the tracks.

And then we're having a moment to where I'm watching the kids until Charlie gets home around six fifteen.

I'll have dinner ready and everything else, and then Charli gets home.

Speaker 1

So there's kind of a moment after dinner where I'm kind of catching up on my stuff on the phone and the kids are having all these needs, and we're going to take Scottie upstairs or it's bedtime.

I got Scottie on the night, She's got Rue on the night.

She's handling them both, and I'm glued to my phone because I'm trying to figure out where Lane Kiffin's going.

Yeah, and I'm slowly going into the pantry to get the bottle ready for Scotti, and I'm kind of taking doing one of those take my sweet time.

Speaker 4

I put it on there, but I'm looking at my phone.

Speaker 1

I don't really press the button to go, and she's already said like, hey, let's get rolling on bedtime and then she's like.

Speaker 4

Get the bot.

Speaker 1

I just hear from the outside, I'm like looking at my phone again link IVN and uh.

I just hear Charles say like, hey, bottle be present, present moment, present moment.

She's thinking in her mind, she could be saying it as like a joke, but I kind of come out with an attitude.

I'm like, hey, that's fine.

You better make sure you're clean too from here on out.

I know, some passive aggression came out of my what's my reaction?

And we go up and we kind of go do our separate things in there reading books.

I'm putting Scottie down reading her favorite books.

She loves this little flat book Worse Spot the Dog, and it's one of those where you can open and open up the flaps.

Oh nope, he's not in there.

Where's the next one?

So we kind of do our thing.

I put Scotty down, she puts Rude down, and Rue wants me to come up and scratch her bag because she loves when.

Speaker 4

Dada scratches her back.

Don't blame her.

What's funny.

Speaker 1

Side note, Charles lambell with her giving her back scratch and she's kind of put her down.

She's like, all right, I'm gonna go downstairs.

She's like, can you send that out?

She's like, why do you need that?

She's like, I need that and scratch my back.

She's like, well, do you need that?

Scratch you back?

I just scratched your back and she's like, yeah, but I love when Dena scratches my back.

He scratches my back every night, and so she comes out she tells me that.

I'm like, oh, I love that.

Kind of give Carl Charo a kiss and she's like, hey, can we talk whenever you get done, I'm like, goes, yeah, we can talk because I already know, like I had a piss poor attitude coming out, like all right, yeah, make sure you're clean, like I've seen you on your phone doing stuff.

Speaker 4

Kind of just tight.

I was sensitive being sensitive about it.

Speaker 1

But then after I kind of come downstairs and she's she's doing her like pre bedtime routine, washing her face and stuff, and she's like, uh, like what do you what do you make of what happened earlier?

And just right there, I was like, hey, sweetheart, I'm sorry, like you were right and I had a piss poor attitude yeah, And she's like, oh okay.

Speaker 4

But then we kind of have a.

Speaker 1

Conversation about She's like, what is a way to where I can say something?

And she's like, because honestly, when I said it, I'm thinking you could come back and maybe have a joke, but you kind of had this.

Speaker 4

I was like, I know, like I was aggressive.

Speaker 1

I should not have said what I said, Yeah, because I'm I'm just conscious when I am seeing it happen to her, like I more so just give her a little light like hey, sweetheart, like when Ru's trying to grab her attention, and Charyl might be like, hey, I have to get.

Speaker 4

To this email, which I get.

Speaker 1

She's she operates the two studios, so there's a lot going on when somebody doesn't show up for a class or it needs immediate urgent attention and all kind of catch and just be like hey, sweetheart, and then she'll get engaged with ru.

And this isn't something that happens all the time.

This is us talking about our shortcomings.

Speaker 4

Such the same example of like where she could be there, yeah, and so I say that to her, I'm like, I try and do it in the saw like just a soft you know, remindered way, not like one where I'm putting it in the bank for whenever you come at my throat like I'm gonna have these receipts that I'm now throwing in your face Like I'm not actually meaning to do that.

Speaker 2

I was just being very.

Speaker 1

Sensitive when you're like hey, blah blah blah, and I'm like this, how you know, we're trying to figure out how laying Kiff it's gone?

Speaker 4

Is he staying at all?

Missus?

Speaker 2

He going out?

Speaker 1

I'm trying to break it down, well, why he could be leaving?

He could be leaving before the Egg Bowl, not coaching the playoffs, like leaving his team.

That would be insane if that happens.

And she's laughing about it, but I'm like, I was like, for me, if we just had like a like a word we could say out there to where it's almost a reminder.

So it's like, hey, we need to be present in this or we need our presence to be right here in this moment, Like what if we just call each other Santa Claus or we just say Santa Claus or we both know what we're saying to each other and not doing it in a way to where she could be feeling something in that moment, And I'm taking it as her jumping at me, when in her mind she was thinking she was like kind of joking with me or thinking I was going to joke back to her like hey, need your presence, need you to be in this moment, YadA YadA, and get in the bottle filled, And I'm just thinking, yeah, make sure you're you're clean.

It's the Bible verse, like the speck in your eye, you got a log, You got a log in yours.

Speaker 3

You're throwing the sticks, but I got the stones.

Speaker 1

But it was all the way back at the very end, we're just talking about I'm going up the stairs to watch Monday night football and get prepped for the lock grim on Wednesday, and it's just we're just saying, like, hey, we're saying we're the same team because we had a good, good, good kiss.

Speaker 4

She was surprised that I apologize.

I'm surprised that I apologize.

Speaker 2

Usually I'm I'm like, I.

Speaker 1

Could be like my downfall is like I'll let something fizzle in my brain and hold it in internally to where I'll just kind of be in this.

Speaker 4

I'll have this ready to go in any type of potential argument.

Yep.

Speaker 1

And as I'm sitting there rocking Scottie, I'm like, I'm just having this self talk with myself because I'm kind of like stewing a little bit, but I'm also playing the other side.

I'm like, Buddy, you were like you can get to this information about link Kiffin after bedtime or after this these finite hours that we have when we do get home from a long day of work and we only have two hours really with the kids, And I'm like, you need to just apologize, bro, And I'm like, yeah, but she kind of said, like she kind of meant it this one.

I'm like, no, dude, you need to you need to go down here if you want to throw her off a rock, or you need to look her in the eye and you just need to say, hey, I apologize because I had a bad attitude.

Speaker 4

The good stuff's coming in my head.

Speaker 1

I'm thinking this is a moment where she's kind of like, hey, the Four of the Dads Boca, like all this stuff's going to where I'm fizzling.

But then I'm like, hey, she's right, but uh but yeah, man, you just get caught up in your own bullshit.

Speaker 2

You do.

Speaker 1

You caught up in whatever's going whatever movie's going on in your life.

Hey, I have to have this attention here.

And it's like, no, you don't.

You can only have so many time, you know.

I'll have a thing here at the end where talking about you know, how fast the early years ago, especially when you have a second kid, and how first you know now you're on the second so Scotty and being in these moments and how the presence kind of reminds you with the second one grounds you a lot more because you feel a little more urgent and pressure with the first one, but I don't I don't know where I'm going with that, And now I'm just going down a foxhole.

Speaker 3

Of I'll word vomit.

I'll add to it by saying what you just described.

I have gone through with Jill thousands of times, hundreds of thousands of times.

And I'm sure that any dad sitting at home listening is like, yo, that's me.

Derek and I often we were joking two weeks ago, just like the little things that kind of set you off, that like your significant others says and you're like.

Speaker 4

You know, oh you get worked up over it, You're ready to put the gloves on.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 5

Verbally, the best advice I've ever gotten was from my therapist, And here comesing where I was, you know, always kind of we have this joke where can her like we're on eggshells with each other, Like she makes a joke and then I get sensitive about it, and then the fund's gone.

So we try to keep the fun there.

But there was one day where she had said something and I came back and I had a receipt and I was telling my therapist.

I was like, yeah, well, you know it's something like I had beard, hair in the sink and she has hair on the floor.

And my therapist goes, dude, that's so sick.

What did you get for winning?

And I just stay quiet and he goes, you know, like, you know that's a joke, right, And I was like thanks Sean, Like yeah, I know, that's a joke.

Like I didn't get anything.

He's like, not even a cookie, Like you didn't get a rib that you won?

Dude, Like, isn't that awesome?

I'm like, okay, John, I know what, John, you don't see all this hair that's all over the shower?

Speaker 2

Do you want her side?

Did she call you?

Oh?

Speaker 3

I seems happening.

Speaker 4

You're on her site here.

Speaker 2

Huh.

Speaker 5

I was just like, ah shit, Like I was so proud that I won, And then I was like, I didn't win anything.

All I wanted was anger and yes and potentially going to bed with a little chip on your shoulder.

Speaker 3

Yes, and the do we have come back to this thing five million times?

Communication?

You say it all the time, y'all say it all the time.

I say it all the time.

Speaker 4

It's what it's always going to be.

Speaker 3

It's what it's always gonna be.

And and those frustrations are going to come out in little moments of Derek getting called out about his beard, uh trimmings, you getting called out about being on the phone with Lane Kiffin, me getting called out, or being on the phone looking for Lank.

Speaker 1

But that sounds so funny, is going I'm seeing this.

Somebody took a screenshot of a snap jet to said he might's getting a deal done?

Speaker 3

Boys, are we on this?

Me me telling Jill that I need to get on my phone for work purposes, which I did for a little three minute thing, and then now she's here in TikTok's and memes playing she's pissed, and we can all pop off in those moments, but like there is something that we want to communicate further beyond that of like where Lane Kiffin goes to coaches not more important than you, Charo or more important.

Speaker 2

Rue or Scotty.

Speaker 3

And I'm sorry for putting that before Scotty's bottle, like I should have been locked in.

You're totally right, yeah wait, yeah.

Speaker 4

Yeah, it's like that.

Speaker 1

Uh, it's like the idea of your both sitting across from each other at the table, like when these debates are when the ship on your shoulders kind of building and you're fizzling a little bit and you want to get the entire goals to how do you get from the opposite side of the table to sitting next to them?

Speaker 4

And to do that you have to ask yourself why, prop Like why am.

Speaker 1

I angry about this?

Why did I get mad?

Why does this bother me so much?

Why do I care about this so much?

You almost as to ask yourself like five whys before you get to Okay, I know where this is coming from from me.

Then you you also have to fully put yourself in their shoes, and you're probably gonna find that answer after.

Speaker 4

You ask yourself why five times.

So that way, then when you do go.

Speaker 1

Back to the table with her, you're sitting next to her trying to solve a bigger problem.

Because the petty bullshit that we get mad about with the hair, the phone and everything else, it's not it's not that it's not we're making it way bigger than what it should be.

Yeah, because really it's about us.

It's about ourselves at the end of the day.

And then when you have the reminder that you know we are teammates, we are partners for life.

I have an absolute badass with me on this journey of life.

How do we get back to being on the same team?

Yeah, good stuff?

Speaker 2

Boys.

Speaker 4

Can we talk about these grim fairy tales?

Speaker 2

Yes?

Please?

Speaker 4

So Ruse in a phase right now.

Ruse in her three year old like she's she dialed in.

Speaker 1

We started to go to these fairy tale books and these are like it's like grim something fairy tales and it's like this book, the Brother's Grim, The Brother's Grim.

There you go, it's like fifty fairy tales in this book.

And it's kind of we've kind of moved to like from all the picture like picture books and everything else, what's the one that I hate fancy nancy stuff where you can see photos in every in everything to where hey, thank god, Now let's challenge her to use her imagination, like story time is gonna be used in there laying we're gonna read these stories.

There's only oh, like the fifty fairy tales.

Each fairy tale might have one photo and it's just this drawing.

It's not even that it's not even that like exciting to see.

She still loves to look at them, but the rest is all it's all written.

And so it's like hey, storytime, Like here's where you use your imagination.

Like Asdad and Mama reads stories to you, you get to now use your imagination and put some of these pictures together, like as we read you this story downside, the con for the parents, as you're reading a much longer story.

These stories are.

This isn't the picture books where you have one or two lines on each page.

You're reading these stories, but Ru's in his face where she's asking a million different questions.

And these grim fairy tale books, it's wild, like people are dying in every story, like to where you know, there's this one where it's like a red rose and snow white and they're in this little side quest and there's this dwarf.

Speaker 4

And this dwarf stole a bunch of jewelry he has.

Speaker 1

He has this sack of jewelry in his bag because he took it from some prince or some king who now has to be turned into a bear.

But along the way, this dwarf, this angry dwarf, he keeps getting his beard stuck in stuff.

He got it stuck in a tree, you got it stuck in a fishing net.

And each time you have to stop and red Rose and snow White who's wondering the forest.

They come across this angry dwarf and they're having this dialogue with him.

They have to get out scissors to cut his beard off, and the whole time he's like, well, why did he have to cut his beard off?

Speaker 4

Well, got stuck in the tree.

Well why did he get stuck in the tree.

Speaker 2

I don't know.

Speaker 4

He's runnering around and got to call it in the tree?

Is he mean?

Speaker 1

Well, I don't know if he's mean, sweetheart.

We got to sit back and kind of read the story.

I haven't figured out if he's mean yet.

But why are they in the forest?

Well, sweetheart, that's just where the stories, that's just where the story is based.

And his beard beard had to get cut off and say hey, sweetheart, can you can you lay down and we'll just get through.

Let's just get through this next paragraph and then we can ask more questions.

But this is the phase that Rue's in, and along the way this this dwarf.

Then he gets his beer stuck in the net.

And then the third scene is he comes across this bear, this old king who is transformed into a bear.

The bear wants to kill him and the dwarf is trying to say, no, you need to kill Red Rose and snow White and we can.

Speaker 2

Share this jewelry forever.

Speaker 1

Bear doesn't see that he's tunnel visioned on the dwarf, because for the bear to come back to prince or king form, he has to kill the dwarf and get the sack of jewelry and jewels and everything.

Come on, come on, And so why do they want to kill the girls.

Speaker 2

Well, the he wants to.

Speaker 4

Yeah, we just found out the dwarf's mean.

Well why is he mean?

Speaker 1

Well, he just wants to survive and live.

And you're trying to explain all these angles to where somebody's gonna have to die in the story.

And the bear, disacknowledged, doesn't care about the girls, goes to and this is written in there.

Speaker 4

The bear swings his paul so hard.

Speaker 2

The dwarf die or the dwarf can't feel his arms and legs and eventually dies.

Speaker 4

And this is stuff that's like in the story.

Speaker 1

Yeah, not read what this one's called The Seven Goats the Wolf and seven goats, and the wolf comes in and eats all the little goat.

The little goat.

Kids, there's one that survives.

It's hiding in a clock.

Mom comes home.

The little baby, the baby goat that's still alive, is saying, like this wolf came in and ate all the goats.

Because Mom was saying, don't answer the door to the wolf.

The wolf disguises himself, paints his black Paul's white, puts on all the different stuff, and ends up getting in and killing all these all these little goats.

The wolf is outside sleeping by the tree, and the lone survivors telling them am about it.

They go outside.

They take a pair of scissors and cut the wolf's stomach open.

Free all the goats because they were still alive.

Yeah, free all the goats because they were still alive.

Wolf is still sleeping.

They sew his stomach back up with rocks in his stomach.

Stones in his stomach, so he thinks he's still full.

He thinks he's still full.

He gets up and since the stones and not goats, he feels a little dehydrated because of all how dry all the stones are.

So he goes over to the well to get a drink of water, but he's so heavy he ends up falling in the well, sinking to the bottom and drowning and all the goats.

Imagine all the questions throughout that story.

Oh yeah, yeah, the scissors.

Well are the baby goats?

Are they still alive in the in the tummy?

Yeah, they're kind of floating around a little bit.

Well can they breathe?

Well yeah, because there's a little bit of air on top of the stomach acid, and so they can still breathe.

Why are there rocks?

And it's because they're trying to make him still seem full.

Why did he fall in the well because he's so top heavy he fell in the well.

Well, can't he swim?

No, he can't swim.

That's why he sunk to the bottom and drown.

There were no rails because in her mind she her swimming pool has rails to come out of.

There's no rails.

No, there was no rails.

He doesn't know how to swim.

No, he didn't do swimming lessons.

No, he didn't do swimming lessons.

Speaker 3

Great question, yeah, great question.

Speaker 4

No he didn't do swimming lessons.

Do you ever do you have?

Speaker 1

This is the phase that I'm in with Rue and I'm sitting here reading some of these stories, like, man, should she be you know, should she be here because she'll get home and she knows.

She understands, like good guys, bad guys and dadad.

We got to get the bad guy.

Tie him down to the floor, time to dada.

You hit his face and all hit his legs, and she's got this.

She's got a she's got a clothes hanger, like hitting the ground where his legs are.

Speaker 4

Like, you get his face.

I'm like, all right, I think he's done.

We got him like he died.

Speaker 2

Guy.

Yeah, yeah, Uh.

Speaker 4

Get his teeth, sweetheart, I think we've done enough to this.

I think we've done enough to this.

Fan.

You get his teeth, I'll get his ankles.

Oh, we gotta get his hands.

We got to get his arms, his foe arms, getting his knees, your nails.

Now, she'd be sitting there with a crown on.

We got to get her into a dress.

She's got butterfly wings on, just holding the hanger.

Speaker 1

We gotta save the castle and it'll be I'm I'm I'm Anna, Charles, Anna Ruz Elsa and Scottie is baby Elsa, and we gotta get everybody.

We gotta save everybody and then get back to the castle.

The castle's in her office.

We got to close the doors.

Yeah yeah, and then she stays on the look for bad guys.

Speaker 6

Good.

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, She's like, call bad guy, we gotta go get him, hold him down.

Then we'll be kind of debriefing, kind of just relaxing.

We'll finally get to the couch of the living room, like, hey, let's just take a load off.

Speaker 4

Let's relax.

Speaker 1

We've done a lot of playing, a lot of chasing, a lot of running.

We've been getting all the bad guys.

Speaker 2

Yeah that I just want to let you know.

Speaker 1

I tied him down and I I taped him down, is what she said.

Oh, I taped him down and then he died because I put coloring all over him.

I put all the colors on top of him.

Like, sweetheart, you saved, you saved the kingdom.

Speaker 3

Can I just say one I did have a question of when she's asking questions, do you ever pitch it back to her?

Do you ever ask her why she thinks it's that way, like of, hey, why are they in the woods?

Speaker 2

Like do you do you?

Speaker 1

That's a good that's a good idea.

I love that little dad hack within the storytelling.

Yeah, that's a good idea because sometimes you get you get caught up and fielding all these questions, and you're like, sweetheart, like we gotta start relaxing.

She'll be, she'll be.

She'll be like laying on her bed listening to the story.

And next thing you know, she's like sitting up on the edge of the bed like listening to like she's enthralled.

Yeah, which in her little brain, her little brain's going and she's asking all these questions.

And I'm like, sweetheart, we gotta lay back in bed because one I want to get I want to read the story.

Like, Sweetheart, we gotta use you know, I know you're asking a bunch of questions.

I love that you're asking all these questions, but it's also bedtime.

We need to get you laid down and let that continue reading the rest story because we got about six pages to go.

Speaker 4

Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3

But that's a great call, Yeah, Doug, Well, I just thought that could be something fun to just like throw question back to her and be like, I don't know, why do you think they're in the woods.

Speaker 4

Yeah, we're like, well, what is where.

Speaker 3

The animals are?

And there's a wolf.

You'll be like, a great point.

Speaker 4

The point let's keep reading and see see if you're right, see what comes of it?

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, or like, do you think he's mean or is he mean?

I don't know, Yeah, does he seem mean?

Challenge her to use that creativity on her side.

Speaker 2

I love that.

Speaker 5

Love that it fits what you did with Rue and her outfit where she comes down the stairs and you say, why'd you pick those?

Speaker 4

Yeah, yeah, that's what I've been doing.

Speaker 1

We've been doing a much better job with all that stuff, like just holding in the first comment of oh my god, you look so beautiful, Charles.

Speaker 4

She came out over the weekend, was like, hey, brace yourself.

Rue looks like a poodle.

The way she made me do her hair.

Speaker 1

She's like a couple of braids.

Here goes down into a ponytail.

The ponytail is also braid, and she wanted all these uh, all these ribbons, all these ribbons, all.

Speaker 4

These bows just in her hair.

Mm hmm.

She comes down.

Speaker 1

I'm like, I'm glad you kind of prefaced that and told me, because it's not as bad as I was thinking.

But yeah, she's kind of decorated like a poodle right now.

Speaker 2

That's so big.

Speaker 3

Yeah, you were talking about the storytelling.

You were talking about I said, do you ever pitch it back to her?

And there was one other thing that I wanted to say about the storytelling or the reading of books.

Oh, the whole tier.

I tied them down.

They're dead now, blah blah blah.

Like I know that maybe some people listening are like, I don't know how I feel about that.

My personal opinion on it, I think it's pretty cool that a three year old is starting to understand the concepts of life, death, bad guy, good guy.

Like, I think it is a good time for those types of story arcs and like real life things.

She's getting a small grasp of it, but she's getting a grasp of it.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

I don't mind that it's happening.

Speaker 1

It's more of the shock as a parent when your first one is starting to familiarize themselves with those concepts and you just kind of feel out of your depths and like, should we be should we be talking about this?

Speaker 4

Look, we got the story.

Charlie bought the book, so I guess this is okay?

Speaker 2

Mom?

Speaker 4

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1

Does she know that this is We're pretty deep, Like we're talking scissors and we're cutting open stomachs of wolves.

Speaker 4

Like, yeah, like we have to.

We have to read the story of the wolf just coming in and taking over the village and eating all the children.

Speaker 3

That's pretty cool, dude.

Speaker 4

Yes, mom's witches bad guys.

Speaker 2

Yes, dude.

Speaker 1

The only thing I don't like is how the king are the prince.

They always get the girl with zero work, and now I'm starting to understand it as a girl.

Dad Like, yeah, some of these stories, I kind of hate him because it's not gonna be some Prince Charming that shows up.

Whenever he be dazzles you with something, you fall in love with him.

That's how that shit goes That's how that shit goes down.

Bro, Like this dude ain't working at all.

He's just the king and he's got the world.

So he's like, hey, I want you to come back with me and be my wife, and she comes back with him.

Is why I'm thinking, That's not how shit works.

Stuff doesn't just get handed to you.

Yeah, I'm excited for when those questions come.

I don't know how I'm going to handle them, but I'm going to handle them.

I think the King could have done a little bit more there.

What do you think on him the girl?

Are they snow white.

She's pretty weak mentally.

Speaker 4

This guy kisses her and all of a sudden she's gonna get married to him.

Speaker 3

And she gets all Google Gaga.

What do you think about that, honey?

Speaker 1

I want to hear a little bit about Jared Demon Seaman Team six.

We talked about it at the beginning and he said he did a couple of things.

Speaker 2

Damon.

Speaker 4

Yeah, just get into the couple of storytellers.

Speaker 2

All right.

Speaker 3

So we went down to Franklin.

First off, the Beamon's that is Mackenzie, Jared's girlfriend, and then Jared Beamon.

They live together.

They're just down the road from us, and I've been meaning to hang out with these guys, like purposefully hang out with them because of our proximity, but we also very much enjoy their company.

Jared's a gym for anybody that's listening to for the dads.

If you want to see more content on Jared Beaman, check out Anything Busting.

Speaker 4

Yeah, there's a lot of Jared Beeman lore out there.

Speaker 3

A ton of lore, a ton of demon Lord, which is what we call him.

But was very excited because it was going to be his first time really hanging out with Scarlet, and so we brought Scarlet to Franklin.

They had the best attitude.

Because Scarlett was having a tough morning, we had to postpone departure time to Franklin, which ended up making us miss the Franklin Farmer's Market, which was the whole point of us going to Franklin.

But the Bemon's had the best attitude ever.

We got down there, grabbed lunch at Culinary Food drop Out.

Is that the name of it.

It's something like that.

It's like culinary Dropouts.

Yeah, fantastic brunch.

But it was really a day that Jill and I got to let loose and we're having some drinks at brunch.

Speaker 2

Oh.

Speaker 3

We were walking around outside with like Scarlet and the stroller and demons like, hey, yo, god, k I help carry that backpack?

Speaker 2

Yo, ky, push what you need?

Man?

Speaker 4

Let me know what you need here?

Speaker 3

Hey, let me know what you need?

And he was being so helpful.

Speaker 4

H yeah, here you go go change your diaper.

I think I did I tell this When we were recording of him being like he helped with one thing while we were in Franklin, he goes, yeah, make sure you telling about that on the podcast.

Speaker 2

Yeah, cause, uh, what do you do?

Speaker 3

I think I think it was literally like helping me hold the backpack, like it was something to me.

Speaker 5

Was that he and I don't want to quot him in correctly pushed the stroller the whole day, or like he he pushed the stroller a ton.

Speaker 3

He's how it was worded.

He pushed the stroller a ton.

He did.

He helped with Hey, can we you know, can I help carry this so you can concentrate on Scarlet.

He was putting on a great display of being a Seman Team sixer friend, but very much felt the pressure from Coop's performance, if that makes sense.

Speaker 4

Yeah, yeah, and it didn't.

It didn't feel fake at all.

It didn't feel fake at all.

Didn't feel performative, No.

Speaker 3

It did not.

But you could tell there was some pressure there of you.

Hey, Coop said a bar and I need to make sure that when Sherman's on the podcast, it's not gonna be like, well, Demon didn't do shit.

Yeah, Demon stunk, But dude, it's very It was a very great day from the standpoint of just a reminder to Jill and I that we can go out there and live life.

We can hang out with friends.

Seeing Scarlett interact with Mackenzie.

She was obsessed with Mackenzie, just staring at her the whole time.

One to hold her, one to hold on to her fingers.

Seeing Jared, who Coop has identified as being a baby guy, he is very pro baby.

He thinks babies are cute.

He wants to hold him.

Jared is not a baby guy and he would tell you that.

But seeing him throughout the day, and he even said something at the end of the day he was like, yo, I kind of get like this whole baby thing, like yo u yo, baby's kind of rip, Like, uh, I can see why people have the uh So it was very fun to like kind of see him going into the day of like how is this gonna go?

And then Scarlett had like an all Star showing zero cries, zero blowout love zero.

So there, you know, Jared's probably sitting there going, oh Sherman's had two beers and now he's you know, having an espresso martini and we've been going around all day and hanging out all these little shops like nothing's strange for him.

Speaker 4

This is great.

It's kind of a good life.

Speaker 1

Yeah, he's kind of doing a great job, you know, indirectly recruiting a Papa team sixer.

Speaker 3

Oh yeah, oh yeah, but you know, reminding him behind the scenes of like he is not all such kind and rainbows.

And this is quite literally my first drink I think in I mean six months, seven months.

Speaker 4

But it was a good like that was a great day for me to get to kick back and let the hair down.

You feel the wind, yes, And that's that day is what helped lead into that conversation that I had with Jill on Sunday.

Speaker 3

It was a tone setter.

It was a complete tone setter of like, hey, we're in love and like we love each other, we love having I.

Speaker 4

Love you, baby, Hey, I love you, and I'm gonna remind you tonight.

Remind let me give you a little ramond that shockwave opening Daddy remind you.

Speaker 2

But it truly was.

Speaker 3

It was just a reminder of like, we do love each other, and we are together for a like, we enjoy each other's company and we get to continue living life with each other, and it's not just a bunch of checklists of things that we need to check off.

For Scarlet.

Speaker 1

Yeah a Dike, we gotta put the pressure, chef, we gotta put the pressure on them.

Make sure he follows up they get a date night logged in.

We gotta help our we gotta help our we gotta help our guy.

We gotta help our guy.

In the teams, pa lease please, But I love that you were kind of recruiting a little bit.

I love the demons getting in the mix, the Semen Team sixers as the captain back there.

Like fatherhood, it rips.

It has its very low moments, but it creates a bunch of extremely your best moments in life.

We actually just shouting out some more comments.

We have some new dad comments.

I got one to hear from a Jonah Maggard on Instagram.

A guard Maggard doesn't matter what your name is.

He's a PT sixer, been a short time listener, but already addicted.

As everyone else says, Wednesdays are not my favorite day of the week.

I'm a PT sixer with a three year old and a one year old, both girls.

Oh shout out Jonah my type of guy.

Hashtag girl dad.

I've been in the trenches it's day one and hate missing out on any even our opportunity with my girls.

They're my number one priority.

Love that y'all can be so relatable, genuine supportive and other dads that have daily struggles.

I personally struggle with the transition from one to two kids.

Our first daughter is a big dadad girl.

You know, it's hard for me to bond with the newborn girl for the longest time, especially since she was boob, especially since she was boob.

Okay, but fast forward to a year later and now we have a great bond and I can balance time for both of them and still help mom out.

Love what y'all are doing to look forward to seeing what other dad hacks and advice y'all have ps.

Our one year old still is a sleeping through the night and I've been meaning to try the cabbage tricks soon.

If it works, I will let you know.

Shout out Jonah, shout out fatherhood.

I go through the same stuff with my one year old, scott Zilla.

We have a great relationship, but she is addicted addicted to mom.

Speaker 4

She's addicted to mom right now.

Speaker 1

And we got another one here from Brandon Kay Muffitt Muffet Brandon Moffatt maybe the case Silent nine on YouTube.

Fellas got introduced to this spob on My Buddy and wanted to get through all them before I commented, this guy gets it.

He gets happy to be here and happy to say I'm going to be a first time dad to a baby girl.

In March showed out Brandon, she's an IVF baby.

Let's go, and we're so grateful to finally be parents.

Thank you Will for sharing your experiences with IVF and all that comes with it.

Stoked to be a girl dad and member of PT six that's big time.

Boys like to have you, dude, You're happy to have you.

Yeah, man, and shout out you you and your wife.

Speaker 2

Your wife.

Speaker 4

In particular for the IVF journey, we got Anthony Petrone four six three to one on YouTube.

Yo shir fellow PT sixer with a five month old and a wife who was a nurse here.

Speaker 3

And my wife's nickname is jelly Bean.

Oh lol, my lool lol.

My jelly Bean is also having a really hard time dealing with what she sees at work and relating it back to our daughter.

Do you have any tips share on things have worked for your Jilly Bean?

Would be awesome if she could talk about it when she's on the podcast.

Love you boys, you helped me through these first five months.

First off, congratulations on the five month old and shout out and as far as it advice goes.

I actually was taking the dogs on a walk last night and was answering some DMS and a guy reached out to me, essentially saying that his wife is in nursing and also struggles what she sees at work.

Being open, Anthony, being open with your wife to have those conversations and talk through those things with your wife, but asking her the questions that will help prompt that instead of just expecting her to bring it to you and then you have the conversation and be open to have it.

Ask her some questions that kind of like help open the floor for her of like how is work?

Blah blah blah.

Do that as like your first kind of hey, how is work?

See how she answers that, and then do you see anything hard today?

Are there any kids that were just like kind of breaking your heart, et cetera and giving her the opportunity to go, oh my gosh, you know what?

There was this one and da da dua.

Because I feel like being able to be that person to bounce off those feelings with somebody, that's a great first step of helping them process that.

Speaker 4

I love that that would be my advice.

That's great advice.

Crack a cold one to that advice.

Speaker 3

I did, dude, speaking of crack a cold one, crack a cold one does go to communication.

Speaker 2

By the way, for this week, okay.

Speaker 1

Either diving cracker cole one to communication or this week is more of like sip a hot one.

Yes, we have a hot chocolate flavor with Liquid IV.

Where you know you get your hot water.

It is getting the colder times of the year.

In liquid has this hot chocolate flavor, so you just throw it in the hot water and again more electrolytes than any leading sports drink, more better hydration than sixteen ounces of water.

You just throw a packet in your water, whether it's cold water.

They got a bunch of flavors.

Cotton candies my favorite flavor flavor to go with the cold water.

I do enjoy this hot chocolate on sipping a hot one.

If you want a hot beverage that also gives you electrolytes and hydration, vitamins and minerals, all the fun stuff.

Speaker 4

It's Liquid IV.

Speaker 1

You go to Liquid IV, you can use code bust and you'll get twenty percent off from the boys to you from the dads.

Speaker 4

To you, Yes you ET six to you and yeah, sip a hot one, crack a cold one.

This week is for communication.

Speaker 3

Communicado uh with your spouse because we I mean, we've been bringing it up all day today with all of our stories and then especially that comment last one.

Here packs and Hancock on Spotify one shelf in fat staff PT six f from day one here listen to the first EPI on the way to our first image appointment.

And now we are in the hospital waiting the birth of our first little girl.

Hayes, flooded with emotions and watching love and watching the love of my life be an absolute warrior as a poke and prodder for this induction four centimeters and counting the bed quote unquote for me, sucks harder than a shop back.

Good baby mama soon to be wifey can't eat anything and is starving.

Good prayers up, rain down.

Speaker 4

PT six out, PT.

Speaker 1

Six out, I actually have a one getting admitted to the hospital as well, and shout out you baby Hayes.

Speaker 4

Welcome to the world.

Welcome for the world.

That's a milk team six mom, come on, we just got a minute.

This was from David Gudurez Gutierrez, David Gutierrez.

Speaker 1

We just got a minuted to the hospital.

My wife's water broke.

Now we wait for our sweet baby girl to be born.

Shout out girl, das Man.

Ready to earn my couch badge for the second time.

Good staring at you, shirm repeat offender.

This is baby number two, but first girl.

Very excited to be a girl.

Speaker 2

Dad.

Speaker 1

I love the podcast.

I wanted to call and leave a voicemail.

But baby girls about ten days early.

With the holidays right around the corner, what family traditions are you looking forward to?

It's a great topic.

Well, what we got, we got Thanksgiving next week, holiday seasons, holiday traditions.

Y.

I'll tell you what I'm not looking forward to.

Please the pressure that comes with gift giving, the stress that comes with gifting.

As a guy, It's like my love language is not even close to gifts.

Like I always appreciate if I do get a gift, if there's a thoughtful gift, it kind of reminds me OF's like wuck, I wish I thought, you know, I wish I could put my attention toward a very thoughtful gift for somebody.

Speaker 4

It's just a reminder that I suck at gifts and so the.

Speaker 3

Stress are you talking about to Charro or are you talking about in general?

Speaker 4

In general?

In general?

Speaker 2

Okay, it's a little like even even with Charro, like like i get to where I'm two months out and I'm like, I need to get on gift giving.

Speaker 4

I need to get and not procrastinate.

So a tradition I'm not looking forward to is gift giving the family.

Speaker 1

As a new parent, I would say the family dynamic around the holidays is a lot different.

You get to as the parent of the kid, like say you got the grandkids, I'm the only one.

I'm one of three boys.

I'm the only one with kids right now, so I almost have the leverage of making people come to me because then you got to travel with kids, and you definitely like don't want to do that if family members have other kids.

I know when my brothers when they have kids, that'll come into the fold.

But the family dynamic kind of shifts because maybe you had a tradition of going to your parents and maybe that's a few hour driver you got to get on a plane, and now that you have kids, it kind of all that goes through your head.

And then if you have you're married to your wife, she might have family traditions where you're trying to balance what the scheduling looks like, and god forbid, there's other siblings that also have kids.

So then you're trying to map out and plan all these things.

That's where a lot of stress and pressure comes into play for the families and for yourself individually, because you want to you want to care for and make sure it priority for your parents or your family that won't to see the grand kids, but also prioritize your wife's parents who also want to see the grand kids.

So not looking forward to those scheduling conflicts right now, we don't have them.

Speaker 4

Right now.

Speaker 2

We hold the leverage.

Speaker 1

Yes, Charles, the only ones she has a brother, if she's the only ones with kids, I'm the only one in my family with kids.

So now you have the leverage of getting your family to come to you, which is a nice which is great leverage to.

Speaker 3

Have needed that reminder, by the way, you you have said that before, maybe two or three episodes ago of like Sherman, you hold all the leverage, like you got the kiddos.

Speaker 4

You got the kids out, you approaches the parents, they'd be on you to pressure you to still come or make it in, and it's like, hey, listen, I love you, I hear you.

Hear's how our world has changed.

And you just got to know in the back of your mind you got the kids.

Speaker 3

You got the kids, and you can metaphorically hold them hostage, yeah, and be like, hey, you do what I say.

Speaker 4

You come this way.

You don't have to be that aggressive.

Maybe you can.

Speaker 1

Maybe you're at a point to where you do say like, I got the kids, what are you gonna do?

But creatively, like in their brain it's like, hey, we got to solve this problem.

This this problem is hanging in the balance.

Ultimately, they have to be the one that bends the knee because they want to see the kids well.

And thankfully, look, we're gonna do our own Thanksgiving.

Look, we're gonna do our own Christmas.

Speaker 2

Here.

Speaker 4

You'll love for you guys to come.

My wife's parents they're coming in.

What are you gonna do?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

Speaker 3

And thankfully you said that to me, And it opened up a great conversation with my mom of like, you know, because my mom wants to know, like, hey, what are you El's plans?

What do you else plans?

And I just straight up said, Mom, the learning lesson this year is Jill and I need to do a way better job of making plans.

We need to do a way better job of telling people what our plans are and.

Speaker 1

Thinking about what us as a fit family once once first, Yes, and my mom had the most epic answer of all time.

Speaker 3

Oh, and goes tell us more well, Sherman.

You know, just keep in mind, you guys heard the shot callers.

You're the ones with the kids, in the in the full time job.

Speaker 2

So shout out your mom.

Speaker 3

I know I was like, oh, yes, because she was.

Speaker 1

Like, that's what you needed to hear, because you need to hear.

You could hear some pushback, you could hear something different.

I know people are there's a lot of family dynamics out there, and God bless them all.

Everybody's trying to figure it out and try to like win with their situation.

But shout out your mom for that answer.

I know that probably gave a lot of relief off your shoulder munch waight off.

She and then she followed up with a great follow up.

She said, all I need to know is dates.

That's all I need.

She was like, I have no dates that have been thrown to me.

If you just give me dates that work, then I will come to you.

Speaker 3

I promise.

Speaker 1

She comfortably put it back into your courty.

Hey, you hold the cards.

We want to be around you guys, no matter what, you just let me know what dates.

Speaker 4

Mama Bear is going to be there.

Speaker 3

Mama Bear will be there because she's that's great.

I don't want to be in Jill's hair.

I don't want to be in your hair.

What's a what's a week?

Speaker 1

Respecting the other parents on the other side, the in laws on the other side, like, hey, you guys, just let us know we're down for whatever.

That's the fluidity and flexibility.

Speaker 3

Literally a million kisses to miss Amy because I you know, we have done a poor job of planning, yeah, and taking your philosophy putting it together with Miss Amy's.

I'm like, we we have a good plan going forward into twenty twenty six.

Speaker 4

Yeah, do you have any so for Thanksgiving?

Speaker 2

For us?

Speaker 1

Since we've been in Nashville, one thing that we've done is we'll go over to the Lawans for Thanksgiving.

Last year we had Scotty Charles two weeks postpartum, so we say, right, we're gonna We're gonna, uh, we're gonna cater in a meal, a Thanksgiving meal because we don't want Charle to do any work.

Speaker 4

You guys can come over.

We'd love to have you.

Speaker 1

You can see Scotty for the first time.

But we had a Thanksgiving at our house because Charles was.

Speaker 2

Two weeks postpartum.

Speaker 1

Yeah, the couple years before that, I want to say, we went to the Lawans, and it's been just a different dynamic because it was when I was positioning out of the NFL, when I was playing football, you know, everything was based around the football schedule.

So we're getting into a world to where we can now create some of these family traditions for Thanksgiving, for Christmas.

I know what I'm excited about.

Like we're getting into our new house.

Our new house gets done here by the end of the year, so we'll be in a new house next year to where it's gonna have a lot of hosting capacity.

My eyes, my season to me goes to like whatever's easiest.

This year, we're going to the Lawan's parents just came down for Scotty's birthday.

We had all the parents, the families over so that way we're going.

We knocked that out to where Okay, I can't expect them to travel down again for Thanksgiving, so I'm assuming we're going to do Thanksgiving apart, and then Charles's parents are going somewhere else for Thanksgiving, so just makes it easy to go to the Lawans just do a family thing.

Speaker 4

We got the food there.

Speaker 1

Our own tradition that we're gonna start is your boy's gonna start doing bar three on Black Friday.

Speaker 4

We eat all the food.

I'm gonna hit a Bar three class.

Speaker 1

Can you guys get you guys are more than welcome to join me if you want to take your significant other and sign up for the class Friday morning.

I'll get you guys at details, but we could sweat it out on Friday morning.

Friday annually going to do bar three is I'm thinking in my brain this could be a good Thanksgiving tradition follow up.

I don't know what Thanksgiving is gonna look like for us traditionally.

Moving forward, once we're in our new house, yes again, I know we got the kids.

Brother just got engaged in his wife.

I'm sure families would be getting creativet's so traditions for Thanksgiving is gonna be looking forward to the future.

One tradition I have it's I want to ask the audience what is the best way on Thanksgiving to eat a turkey?

Speaker 4

Is it baked?

Is it smoked?

Speaker 2

Is it fried?

Is it bowld?

Speaker 1

Is it all the above?

I love a good smoke turkey.

I know people can break their foot off in a baked turkey.

I grew up on big turkey, so I like the new flavors of a fried turkey or smoke turkey.

I enjoy a smoke turkey.

Speaker 2

Let's leave it there and pick it back up.

That's a good spot to stop.

Speaker 4

Okay.

Speaker 2

When we come back, we'll go into the turkey to.

Speaker 1

Okay, just know that's how I ended the energy.

I enjoy a smoke turkey.

All right, we're gonna take a quick potty break.

This potty break is presented to us by Ollipop.

Sure did you know that there's a new Ollipop and SpongeBob collaboration going on?

Speaker 4

Absolutely had a few.

They are fantastic.

Speaker 1

It is known as the pineappleliest soda from Bikini Bottom, Pineapple Paradise, the juicy pineapple with a splash of mandarin pure liquid joy just like SpongeBob himself, and I think we could say Sherman Young as well.

There's collectible cans five limited editions SpongeBob can designs hidden in each four pack.

Each packs a little treasure hunt.

You never know which one you're gonna get, and you can collect them all on unlocked sweet rewards at drinkollipop dot com dot com slash SpongeBob.

Speaker 4

I used to be a soda feen.

Soda feen is a young pup, even growing up like that of them.

Speaker 1

In my adulthood, I don't drink soda as much because of all the sugar in it, but every now and then I like the soda carbonation, the soda fizzle.

When I came across Ollipop.

This is soda but healthy.

There's a prebiotic that supports the gut.

Nine grams of pre biotic fiber, only two to five grams of sugar per can.

Shrim It tastes like soda, but it's actually good for you.

They have a flavor lineup that is all off the charts, and it pisces me up because they don't even mention the two best ones.

Speaker 2

But here's the flavor lineup.

Speaker 1

Vin Didgit Cola, Classic Rup, Beer, cream Soda, Orange Squeeze, Doctor Google and Lemon Lime and more is what this says.

Now the two best and one that has came across came across my desk, and it might be number one.

Speaker 4

I just don't want to emotionally put it at the very top.

Speaker 1

It is climbing rapidly because everybody knows my favorite is the classic grape.

We had a caller that call in last week and talk about how much he was like, holy shit, boys, this classic grape.

Let me tell you the apple Crisp will knock you off your feet or Crisp Apple.

Speaker 2

That what it is.

Speaker 4

I believe Crisp Apple because I had to do a quick.

Speaker 3

Google because I don't know if you saw on Instagram and this may be diving into something for an ad read.

Ollipop called me out because they were like, you you've never had classic Grape.

Speaker 1

I was like, never had it.

They're like, you gotta have it on the show.

You Yeah, you gotta start getting in with the Ollipop.

But you can get two dollars off a four pack Ollipop at drinkollipop dot com.

Speaker 2

How do you guys do your turkey?

Speaker 4

I like a good smoke turkey.

Speaker 3

Let's go, hey, I like a good do you like a good smoke turkey?

I smoked my first turkey last Thanksgiving.

I think I told this story on the podcast.

But Jill stepdad just cutting into that thing and taking the first bite and give me the look of approval, not only the look of approval, but the head not.

Speaker 2

Oh, just the aura of that smoke turkey going in your mouth, bro and seeing the smoke ring too.

Speaker 3

Because I use cherry pellets, so I gave it like a nice little body, nice little pink.

And when you're cutting it, you go oh, my bird has a little pink on it, and oh it's not cooked all the way.

Speaker 4

That's the smoke ring.

That's really shut your punk ass.

Speaker 2

You knew you knew the smoking birds, aren't you?

Speaker 4

Yeah?

Oh so, Chef Jack, this is a dude who can who can sling it in the kitchen right now?

Where are you going with your chef?

Speaker 2

I am a bacon roast, traditional by the book, the way our founding fathers intended it to be.

That's how I am og og og og.

We did a smoke turkey two years ago.

That was my first ever, like Wednesday night, go hang out with all your friends, and I had one bite and threw up.

So we've never done that since we're roast turkey people.

I'm and this year is actually a special year, guys.

This is the first year that my father is passing on the responsibilities of baking the turkey to me.

And see, my airline looks.

Speaker 4

Terrible right now, But I'll go ahead and take that out and give a clap for.

Speaker 3

That One's sons, that's a true Seman Team sixer right there.

It's a captain that's entering into PT six.

He's taking the right steps.

His girlfriend is hearing.

Oh, dad's handing me the reins on turkey duty this year, Buddy pressures pressures on.

Speaker 2

I think I'm gonna film it, so if you guys want to see that, I can film it and edit together and show you guys how I'm gonna do it.

Love that, But I'm traditionalist.

I'm in charge of the green.

Speaker 4

You take it outside and roast it over a fire.

Speaker 2

No, but that would be sick.

We don't have to see you talking.

Speaker 4

About founding fathers and all this bullshit, your feedness, like you never go outside, out and back and just wow in the woods.

Speaker 2

Yeah, we can do an outside of roast, but I think I think the way they would do it back in the day is find like a big Dutch oven type thing in there and then put the coals on top like a true bake.

Yes, baking wasn't a thing just because the oven was invented.

Speaker 3

Yeah, it was the inc and the Incans and Mayans would do the underground ovens.

If you've never seen an underground oven, never have.

It's really it's actually very sick, intricate, intricate and really cool.

Speaker 1

That's what we need to see from chef.

We do we need a heat underground oven.

We need an incan underground smoke.

Speaker 2

Going to be in the backyard and my parents house, my pant Dad's gonna come home.

Speaker 4

What are you doing.

Speaker 2

I gotta shovel out there, like I gotta make a boss man's ass to make an underground oven.

But you can't just buy a turkey from the store.

You have to go hunt one.

Oh even, Oh dude'd be fun.

Speaker 3

I have my license for turkey this year, and Delaney Walker has given me an invitation to come shoot one on his property.

Speaker 2

I can get a can I get a day pass?

Appreciating you get us day pass is very cheap.

I'll come out there and we'll shoot turkey.

You can use your hands, your bands.

Yeah, if we were about it, that'd be sick.

That would be six.

And when I say weed, chef, yeah you if he bleeds the brand, she'll go out there and kill a turkey for Thanksgiving, make an underground ink an oven and then roast one.

You just spent too much time with the mediator career.

That's what they do.

Speaker 3

Chef, you're co owner in fancy football.

He's the lady Walker and you were sitting right there when he invited us to his property.

The invitation was for you as well.

Speaker 2

I would be happy to go.

Speaker 4

And the question it would be, how great do you want to be?

Speaker 2

I want to be the best.

Speaker 3

You gotta shoot Delaney a text today.

Speaker 2

All right, I'll get in touch with them at the opportunity is right there.

I've never a turkey hunt.

Hey you never hunted?

Speaker 3

Could he call Delaney right now and ask him about it?

Speaker 4

Is that?

Okay?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

Speaker 4

I don't care.

Speaker 3

Do you want to call Delaney and see?

Speaker 2

Yeah, we'll see the answers.

Speaker 3

Because getting chef out there to shoot a turkey and cook it would be epic.

Yeah, that's a Semen team sixer right there.

That's a sick Oh yeah, oh daddy, and he can't he can't.

Look Dad, you're giving me turkey duty.

Speaker 2

Just go so far?

Speaker 4

You can't google incing up and you gotta seek out an inking?

Speaker 2

Is that?

What is?

Though?

They are.

Speaker 3

Seek out?

Speaker 2

You gotta go down to Peru in Chile.

You can't take a plane.

There were no planes back then.

You gotta go down and asking inking, how do you make these underground ovens?

Speaker 4

Because I got things given next week?

Speaker 2

Getting for the.

Speaker 4

Pressure took a turkey my dad gave me turkey?

Did he said.

Speaker 2

Big deal?

Did he answer?

Speaker 4

Oh, we were trying to fill the conversation while you're calling.

Speaker 2

I don't think he'll answer.

I'll give my shout.

Do you want to tell you?

Well?

Speaker 4

See the answers?

Your call?

Speaker 3

Is it ringing?

That's ring, We'll fall We'll follow it up with them.

Speaker 4

Delaney is a busy man.

Speaker 2

It's probably odd that I'm calling him to because I usually text him fantasy updates.

Speaker 3

All the makers don't get care themselves.

Any walker Lane?

Speaker 4

True?

Is there a Delaney walker Lane?

Your call that feels like an ignore?

Speaker 1

We'll get, We'll get, We'll get them online.

Speaker 2

Probably that'd be sick.

It would be about making your old man proud walking in with that bird.

But no, I don't him.

Oh you're not a hunt fan.

Don't let the accent for you.

The accent did's for me.

Yeah, no, I've That's a big joke around my friends.

Is I'm I have a very Southern accent, not by design, but I'm not like insanely southern person.

I love football, I like beer.

Yeah, I like a lot of things.

I don't know where this is fun.

Speaker 3

Hey, I will I will tell you all this as far as as far as getting your first turkey.

I got mine with a rifle, not a shotgun.

Speaker 2

From range.

Speaker 4

And you get one of them birds down, and you get them nice and plucked, they're ready to go right then and there.

Speaker 2

I like football, I like drinking beer.

I like a lot of things I like.

I don't know where I was going with that.

I like the American blog.

Speaker 4

I like tradition.

Speaker 3

I like God.

Speaker 2

I don't I don't know what to do in my hand, but I don't tell I felt.

I ain't never killed a turkey.

Yeah, but I'm are you open to it?

Chef one?

Speaker 3

Okay, good good?

Speaker 1

And for the comments too.

Fried turkey, smoke turkey, baked turkey.

Are you a fried guy, Derek, I'm a deep fried guy.

Speaker 5

Now that I live in the South.

We were we were ham people up north.

We weren't really turkey too much, and so my dad make a ham no matter what.

Speaker 3

I think.

Speaker 5

Smoked is great, I think baked is great.

I think they're all great.

Now that I've had a deep fried turkey with the crispy skin and the ease it takes to get into it, which I know is a little bit of a I don't know, taking the easy way out for it.

Speaker 3

But man, a deep fried turkey.

I love that ship down, love it.

Speaker 4

I couldn't agree more.

And to set up PT six four.

Speaker 3

Next week's episode, just like Will said, let us know how you prep your turkey.

Let us know if you're more of a Ham family.

Maybe you're a Texan because I know my family did this a lot.

Maybe you're a beef tenderloin on Thanksgiving.

My grandparents always had a beef tenderlin.

My dad always did a beef tenderlin on Thanksgiving.

Leave in the comments, what's the meat that you're going with?

And hit us with some of those sides because we're going to do a full breakdown next meeting, full breakdown of what's going to be on the plane.

Speaker 1

Yeah, we need videos of Dad's making turkeys.

Now I'm thinking I'm going to Taylor's, but I just might make a smaller turkey and smoke it up.

Speaker 4

Yeah, that would be fun.

You can get the monarchs on the feet safely.

Speaker 3

Yeah, we're talking about Monday next week.

We're trying to save Monday of next week, like in the evening for some Turkey Sinans Turans because I might throw a bird on Monday morning, let it smoke the whole day, low and slow.

Speaker 1

Hey, by the way, shirm, I just want to tell you look good in that merch.

I know people have been at people been asking where they can get the further dads, the Christmas theme merche, the holiday merch.

There's a new line out right now at bwtv dot com.

It is out now, so now you can go shop till you drop get ready for holiday season.

Man, if you're a Milk Team sixer, get your hubby.

Hey, get your hubby some of this nice for the dad's merch or for the dad's merche.

Speaker 3

You get your hubby some of this merch.

That's another comment, and I'm not trying to force anything on this podcast.

I had multiple dads but a ton of Milk Team sixer saying where's the Milk Team six merch?

Speaker 2

Where is it?

Speaker 3

You keep talking about it, you keep acting like you're excited about it, but where are the results.

I don't see anything on the website for the Milk Team sixers.

I think you and I may just have to put our heads together and design something for that.

Speaker 4

That's the problem.

Speaker 1

Like I feel, all of those questions are justified, and we operate this business, but they have to understand, just like their husband, just like all the men in their lives.

It's a bunch of dudes operating this business.

Speaker 2

Right now, we're excited about it.

Speaker 3

We're talking about going to de Lady Walker's property to go shoot a turkey last second, right before Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2

The chances that happened.

Speaker 4

We get excited about stuff.

Speaker 3

That priority is over mil Team six right now?

Does that paint a picture for you?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

Speaker 1

You have these grand ideas and then the weekend comes, Football's on and the bud lights out.

Speaker 3

Buddy, wait for off season, Yeah, Milk Team six, Just wait for the off season.

Speaker 1

You're talking about Milk Team six.

Where my wife's on my ass for Lane Kiffin news.

Speaker 3

My wife's on my ask because I still haven't got the little cage for our dogs.

They got to sleep in kennels.

Speaker 1

Now, Yeah, well, and can we get your focus for Milk Team six, merchant, Tell me where Lane Kiffin's going.

I'll be able to direct my attention there.

Speaker 3

Tell me where I can get a kennel where my dog's not going to freak out and have PTSD throughout the night, and then we'll get the Milk Team six shirt.

I do have a what are the odds I forgot to do last week?

And then we can jump into emails and calls.

Speaker 4

Yeah sounds great.

Speaker 3

Okay, this was a huge thing on the stream.

This happened on the stream two weeks ago and Milk Team sixers speaking of here's a really fun prank that you can pull on your husband.

Jill did not have the intention of pulling a prank on me, but she texted me a year from the day that we found out that she was pregnant.

Was scarlet by sending me a picture of a bunch of positive pregnancy tests and just left it at that.

It was just a bunch of positive pregnancy tests for about twenty five seconds, followed by a year ago today.

And Buddy, those twenty five seconds, bro, you were pacing.

Speaker 4

You were starting to swear.

Speaker 2

She goes, Oh my god, I'm sitting there seeing six positive pregnancy tests.

Speaker 3

Good, here we go again.

I mean, thank got, I'm on a dad podcast.

I guess I don't know.

Yeah, buckle up, buckle up, because this one, I'm like Scarlett was not planned like, this is a.

Speaker 1

En before you got to the weekend, before you got to the conversation on Sunday, all the stressors, the stressor is going on.

Speaker 4

You got pregnancy test popping up right in front of your face.

Speaker 3

Literally just sent me this and I know right below it says a year ago today that was not there when that image first came through.

I replied with you just scared the fuck out of me.

Speaker 2

Holy shit.

Speaker 3

She replied, ha ha ha oh Sherman.

Speaker 2

Like, I'm sure crazy that I pretty you are silly.

Speaker 3

No, silly, sure.

So the what are the odds is?

What is the chances?

What are the odds that you have a child born on the same day as your first child?

Do y'all want to go ahead and take a guess at those odds?

Speaker 1

Say?

Speaker 3

Yeah, dear, I just I just want to are resetting some parameters system.

What are we giving you?

Speaker 5

We're giving him an answer percentage?

Say I think I won last time, and there was a lot of anger towards me.

Speaker 3

They're winning.

Okay, there's a comment that that broke down the math will I will say no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 4

No, he's talking about one fucking comment.

Speaker 3

Well, had mathematical equations.

Speaker 2

They did.

Speaker 3

They proved mathematically that Derek was close.

Speaker 4

No he wasn't.

It was no, No, you weren't, No you weren't.

Speaker 2

Is this a percentage?

Speaker 3

This is a percentage.

Speaker 2

Guess oh, this is gonna be another fiasco.

Speaker 4

I would say point zero zero.

Speaker 2

Two seven three in point zero zero two seven three, I'm gonna go zero point two five.

So your point two five point two five, three hundred and sixty five days in a year, point two five percent.

Speaker 3

Go ahead, yeah, zero point.

Speaker 2

Basically, all right, is this assuming that uh, is this assuming that the couple tried to have kids on the exact same day the first one was born.

Speaker 3

This is the odds of your second child being born on the exact same day.

But well, not that you're trying for it, but just what are the odds of that happening?

Speaker 2

Point zero two five?

Speaker 3

Okay, and just tower on the same day.

Just to reiterate, you are saying point zero two five percent, not point zero two five okay, point zero It just points zero one percent.

There's a point zero one percent chance you one.

You said zero zero.

Speaker 1

I said zero zero zero two So it was chef, maybe maybe?

Yeah, til your fucking comment, your burner account.

Speaker 3

Comes in and says, hey, here's the map, this is what's going on.

But that was your what are the odds brought to us by FanDuel.

Speaker 4

Thank you for Thank you FanDuel.

Let's get to the hotline again.

Speaker 1

If you want to be featured on the show with a voicemail, just call into six oh one the Dad's and we will read your voicemails in real time.

Speaker 3

Okay, I'll find that and that that's an apology not only to your father but to pt Sichos.

I took not a true sabbatical, but I really tried to chill on social media and like being on it when I'm at home.

I need to prioritize time reaching back out to these pt siccos they're sending me some really cool stuff and the d MS and I did some last night and it was It's always fun, dude, getting to read through those.

I need to dive back into that.

So please tell Billy.

I'll tell Billy that I will find that and we're gonna figure it out and we're gonna get them on the voicemail.

Speaker 2

Okay, Derek, we should have an episode where it's just all of our dads do a calling.

Yeah, that'd be fun.

That'd be like a fun special episode where we'll dedicate like half the episode to it.

Speaker 4

Bother Oh that's all I was thinking too.

Good Father's Day episode.

Speaker 3

We we have one titled ah.

Speaker 2

Okay just ah yo, what's good?

Boys?

Uh?

Just got off my leave.

Speaker 6

First day back to work.

It's already been crazy.

We are in the trenches, like dude, I'm telling you we are.

We're in them three to four times.

Speaker 2

Last night, I just wake up and a but it's a beautiful cry.

Speaker 6

And you know what I said, I said, good good, I'm glad that I didn't get enough sleep and I had to drink a freaking cold brew this morning.

Speaker 2

Good.

Speaker 6

You know, he's already pooped on my wife's hand about three times.

Speaker 4

Good embrace it.

You only have about, man.

Speaker 2

What two years of this and it's over.

So I'm excited.

I'm pumped up.

Speaker 6

Got home from the hospital a few weeks ago and now we're back into the swing of things.

I'm actually having to work right now.

But love you boys.

Hope to hear back from y'all on the show soon.

Speaker 1

Shout out, man, you're in the trenches.

Look Scottie right now, twelve months old.

Speaker 4

She's a year old, and I'm wondering if there's a twelve month sleep progression out there, because there's a couple a few times over the weekend.

Speaker 1

We didn't get a whole lot of sleep over the weekend because she's just I don't know if it's like the separation anxiety.

When she wakes up, she realizes mom or dad, mainly Mom isn't there, like she's been clinging the mom.

But I'm talking just yelling, bro screaming.

I'd going there on Sunday night six times, and after the last time I hear her screaming, and you know, I'm laying in bed and I just let it go.

She probably screamed for like thirty minutes.

They say her rhythm would go down to her.

She's falling asleep.

A couple of minutes go by, so I'm getting in that light and then I just hear it again.

I'm just like Scottie Joe, just go to sleep, sweetheart, go to sleep.

Speaker 2

She just kicks kicks back the minute, like you know, I'll go in there and I'll try and pat her and soothe her without picking her up.

Speaker 4

So it's not like, you know, creating that that comfort if she has to be in somebody's arms all the time.

Speaker 2

Yep.

Speaker 4

And I would get her to go down, and two out.

Speaker 1

Of those six I would say I picked her up, and she immediately goes to sleep when you pick her up.

Speaker 2

So it's like this this what is it?

Speaker 4

What's what's the word I'm looking for this like.

Speaker 3

The oh, the you're just trying to break the clinging, like the contact.

Speaker 1

So yeah, yeah, the contact needing the contact to be picked up out of the crib to go to sleep.

Speaker 4

I'm like, we can't have that.

You got to break it.

Like it's always been a mission.

Speaker 1

Just you're you're leaning on other things that where they can help self suthe themselves back to sleep.

And she's been a stud at sleeping dude.

Speaker 3

Yeah, So for.

Speaker 1

Whatever reason, I'm like wanting to look up as there like a twelve month or a year sleep aggression because I'm just like, Bro, she's had us in hell for a couple of nights.

Speaker 4

Last night she did phenomenal, thank god.

Speaker 1

But it's like an hour into her sleeping, and then after the hour, in like every thirty minutes, she'll just get up, like.

Speaker 4

Screaming or upset about something.

To that sweetheart, just go to bed.

Speaker 2

You know how to do this.

Speaker 1

Bro, there's your lama right there, there's all your Stuffi's yep, I doug up to him back.

Speaker 3

No, four months is a big sleep progression stage that Scarlett has somewhat hit.

But it's really just kind of turned into her like waking up super early.

Speaker 2

Now.

Speaker 3

Yeah, like she's still sleeping, but she's like waking up super early.

And this dad, he remained anonymous.

But what he'll learn is the next stage, which I kind of loved, is when they are crying in the middle of the night and you go in, like Will is talking about for any new dads, they'll say, instead of picking them up, because then you'll have to pick them up every time.

Right, you set the standard of just going in there, placing her hand on their stomach or on their chest and just kind of lightly rocking them back and forth.

And you could do a nice little like sh sh or you could sing to them, whatever you want to do to put them back.

But that moment that you know you're in some deep shit is when you step over their crib to put the hand on the chest and pass.

He's out and they're just smiling, bro, and they're smiling.

You're like, oh, I'll cook.

Speaker 1

Scotta be trying to roll over to like grunt and sit up.

I'm like, no, no, no, no, you gotta go back down.

It's like this is not play time.

Yeah, because you're right, you're trying to do your best to train them to kind of self soue like you let them know that you're there, you're there.

Speaker 4

You're not making eye contact with you.

Speaker 1

I'm like kind of looking away and I'm on her knee because Scotty likes to sleep on her stomach, so she'll be like she'll be like her little butts tooted it up and stuff, and I'm like patting on the button.

I'm just like looking away, like try and seek the looking and she's looking at me with a smile or whatever.

I'm just like going to look away.

You're trying to help get it to where they're not just depending on all you're eating.

Contact from you because you pick her up and put her in your arm, and she'll.

Speaker 4

Just be like and their little brains, you know, their little brains when they've been crying and then they see their favorite person, they're like, yes, it.

Speaker 2

Works, Yeah, crying work.

Speaker 1

What Scotti will start like what I'm thinking of how she's mint ulating in the system.

She'll take the stuff he's and like throw them out of the crib and then be like yelling standing up in the crib, and I'll be like, hey, there's a camera up there.

Speaker 4

I see you.

Bro, you're trying to do this to just come up here.

You leave these out.

I will not come back.

Speaker 2

You did that?

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, yeah, there ain't nothing else that did that.

You did that, Scott, lay him down.

She starts trying to set up pick her up.

No, it's it's bedtime.

Speaker 3

I can just picture her doing a will comp to grind as she's trying.

Speaker 4

To get Yeah.

Speaker 1

Well, it gets to a point too where you go so much and you'll just be fuming that you can't get any sleep, and I'll just be you know, they're like in your arm like this, and they're trying to like hyper extend their body and wrestling them, squeezing.

Speaker 4

I'm like, no, no, no, you're not getting out of this pretzel.

Speaker 2

They're shaking them, patting them extra hard.

You are my son, like water boarding with the past, like shoving in their mouth.

Speaker 3

She'll always get so pishy, and she doesn't want she doesn't want it.

She's gonna take you.

Speaker 4

She wants it, trust me.

But yes, good luck to you, sir.

And she's never stopped.

Speaker 3

They never stop.

Code Brown is our next calling.

Speaker 7

Hey boys, my name is Troy.

I'm from Wisconsin.

I am the dad of a two and a half year old daughter and a five month old son.

Calling just before seven am Central Time, just before the kids wake up.

I got a couple of minutes of peace and quiet.

I just wanted to share a funny story that just happened this past week.

So, my two and a half year old daughter is in the midst of starting potty training and has been dealing with some constipation issues, which apparently is normal for the potty training age.

And we've been trying all sorts of different things, trying a lot of ho fiber foods, prune juice, reached out to her pediatrician, all this fun stuff.

It had been about five days since she had pooped last and it was, you know, Dada's turn to give the bath, and I took her up there.

She had had prune juice earlier in the day, and I think you can see where this is going.

But something between what we've been trying in the previous days and that warm water relaxing the bowels let it all out right there in the bathtub.

And unfortunately, it happened to be Data's turn to give the bath, so I had a code brown up there, and that was a wild experience.

On one hand, it was good that she finally pooped.

On the other hand, it was bad for Data dealing with the cleanups.

So a little bittersweet moment, just like many things as being a dad.

It's the greatest in the world, but it's also literally shitty sometimes.

So thought you boys would like that story.

Loved the show, just picked up my first piece of for the Dad's Merch.

Excited for it to arrive.

Keep doing what You're doing.

My favorite podcast out there for sure, So thanks again and uh talk to you again soon, Troy.

Speaker 1

Nothing like shitting in the tub, Nothing like it, And talk about a frenzy that happens mentally.

If you're the dad on, if you're the one on the wall for bad time, it is scarce.

But like for me, nothing more terrifying, nothing more of a nightmare than just shit everywhere.

Speaker 2

Nobody the tub dripping, stand on the tow stay ready, okay, gold Well that's what happens when you shit in the tub.

Speaker 4

Put this down on, stay warm, drain it, refill it.

Speaker 3

Oh, he didn't have a super thick Wisconsin accident, but I loved how it came out whenever he said dada, oh yeah, you know Dada's tern.

That's a man that eat some cheese.

Man that is a man they eat some cheese.

And hey, good on you, Troy.

Way to stay in the trenches.

Way to fight it.

Bath Time is such a sacred part of our uh like night night time for Scarlet, and she loves it.

And if anything goes awride that makes her have to come out of the tub, like if I'm about to put her in, and the little ducky thermometer I look at it last second.

I go, oh, one oh nine, that's too hot, you know, Scarlet, let me adjust the temperature.

Why I already held her over the water.

She thought she was about to go in.

She goes ballistic.

Speaker 2

You trying to get some action, so splash action.

Speaker 3

Put me in the damn tub.

I don't care if it's one hundred and twelve.

Yeah, do your your ma?

Do they like bad time?

Speaker 4

They love bath time?

Speaker 1

Yeah?

Speaker 4

Yeh, Scotty loves bad time.

Speaker 1

We'll get him in the bat together where Scotty's on her little little seated thing and they splash each other back and forth.

Oh dud loves and russe.

Always trying to text a check check the temperature.

Speaker 4

Too hot.

It's not too hot.

Okay, it's a little spice, but it'll you'll warm up to it.

Speaker 2

She said that her years.

Speaker 1

I said to her, I'm just standing there, like just staying with your feet in first and warm up.

Speaker 4

See it's not that bad.

I'll start splashing or she'll spaz out.

Speaker 7

I don't know.

Speaker 4

G't it out now.

Speaker 3

I want to I want to see you in the trenches more.

Speaker 4

Yeah, I was laughing this morning, carrying out those boiled peanuts and holding Scarlet's backpack and her little milk bottles.

I went to open the front door and the boiled peanut juice just all over my jeans.

Speaker 3

And the first thing that shot in my head was I wish Will was here to see that, like oh buddy in the trenches going, yeah it.

Speaker 1

Come on, I'm telling you nine grams pre prebotic fiber, two to five grams of sugar.

You like a little you know, if you're on a little I'm not drinking soda, but you like to switch it up from water or something bland Olli pop is.

Speaker 4

The move and we have to get Chris Bapple in here.

Yeah, that's that's crazy because that one is changing my life from the inside out.

Speaker 3

That and that's not anything to be said like how good SpongeBob is.

Oh we love SpongeBob, love SpongeBob.

I'm not a shot at all.

It's SpongeBob.

But whoa that was Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4

That's what we got a call in.

Now, you see what we got a call in last week.

I want to hit up at him.

I saw they hit us up on Instagram.

I want to hit him up and say, hey, I know what you're talking about now.

Lollipop sent him a care package.

No, yeah, they had reached out on X and they said, check your DMS.

We want to get you some, which started a ex conversation about people overseas saying that they've received Lollipop, to which Olipop said, how the F did you do that?

It was a very funny little X thread, So shout out to Adam.

Speaker 2

Which have you?

Speaker 4

Which ones have you tried?

Speaker 5

Vintage Coola root beer, the strawberry vanilla, cream soda, grape.

I hadn't tried it until your obsession with it.

Unbelievable.

Speaker 3

I'm not a grape guy with you.

YEA, so good.

Speaker 5

My favorite still ten toes down cream soda and the strawberry vanilla was delicious.

Speaker 3

Chef, what are your favorites?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

Speaker 3

What are your favorites?

Speaker 5

Es?

Speaker 2

Chef?

Oh that's so nice, you guys, asked fellas, I have a confession to make.

Don't do this.

I have not tried allypop yet.

Okay, I would explain, but that's a I don't believe in, you know, making excuses.

I just haven't been good enough.

We got it.

Speaker 3

We gotta change eye right now.

That's got a change right now.

Speaker 4

Well, may I ask why?

Speaker 2

This is?

Speaker 1

Just because look for the dads where we're small.

This is you know, we talk about small businesses.

This is a small podcast for the dads.

We got a couple brands taking shots with us, brands that we love, Wayfair, Ollipop.

There's been a couple we said no to because It's like we want stuff that we enjoy.

We want this community to trust everything that we're kind of saying we're collaborating on, we're engaging with fans with Yeah, and Olli Pop is one that has came to the forefront and sponsored this show that we are beyond excited about that.

We are belated about belated sponsoring means giving us, giving us money.

They're now like, we would be you know, shout out, no free shout outs, this is what we do for Lollipop.

Now They're like, no, we want to we want to support this brand.

We want to be arm and arm with this brand.

This brand gets us going because they love our product.

And we got a group of four for a group of four for for for the Dads that in my mind I go home and I my wife's like, how is worked today?

And I'm like the forore the dand the for the Dads.

Guys bleed the brandy and are truly on board with the vision.

They represent everything more about.

You're the captain of st six of Semen Team six, and you want to tell me that you haven't tried a brand that is in the fox hole with us?

Speaker 4

Do you got their six?

Speaker 2

You don't well, is that no?

No, no, he is.

He's right?

Speaker 4

Am I not spitting facts?

Speaker 2

Right?

He's right.

Speaker 3

I think you're making really good points.

I think you're making really good points.

Here's where I would jump in.

Speaker 4

Okay, I can't wait to hear your leadership right now.

Speaker 3

Has he fallen short so far?

Speaker 4

Yes?

Speaker 3

But he is willing to redeem himself and he is willing to do it right here on camera to show us and to show Ollipop that he may be belated to joining us in the foxhole, but he is elated to join us in the fox.

Speaker 1

That's the word I'll search you for earlier when I said belated, No, truly, Hey, I might not have a brain, but I have an idea.

Speaker 3

I knew where you were going.

I knew where you're in his brain.

That is belated, dude.

I lost him and I was like, belated, they are?

Speaker 2

I do what you man?

Speaker 4

I'm so passionate When.

Speaker 2

It was one of those things, it's not intentional at all.

I just hadn't gone aroun I've been on a no soda thing, which, uh, the wonderful leader of this podcast is let me know that this is actually not a soda but anything carbonated I've tried to stick away from uh, so that was kind of the intention behind it.

But let me just say, guys, I'm all in now, and just to prove it, I'm gonna try We'll try the classic grape and I'm also gonna try the vintage cola.

Come on and give you guys some thoughts.

Speaker 3

Oh, he's gonna love it.

Speaker 2

Holy shit, that's good.

That's actually really good.

Yeah, that's really good.

That's very solid.

I I just want to graphic.

I just want to quote Graphic.

Yeah, chef on Ali and the people that know me know that whenever I think something's really good, you'll get like three or four words out of me, and then I'll go right back to whatever I'm eating or drinking.

Yeah, you're right back to sipping that vintage cola Nuza.

Oh buddy, that is incredible.

And will what were we saying?

Speaker 1

This is in it nine grams prebiotic fiber, two to five grams of sugar.

Speaker 3

So it's you got botanic goals.

Speaker 1

You're a guy that's wanting to stay away from soda because of all the sugar that it has.

Speaker 2

Like I I completely understand that drinking.

If I'm wanting to get away from something.

Yes, you like people, you love a good change.

Like my wife, she's water all day long, and she'll ask me how much water if you drink?

I have pure water, and I'll like, sweetheart, you know it's like, I'll drink some water, but I need something different.

Speaker 4

I just need something different when I'm drinking, when I'm having a drink.

Speaker 3

Yeah, and where allipop goes above and beyond is you could just have flavored water that's like sparkling water.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 3

I've seen those like imitation sodas.

Yes, they do that part very well, but they also have a ton of healthy stuff.

A bunch of biomes are really great for the gut as well.

Speaker 4

What's crazy as we are giving ollipops such a shot out?

I hope they're too a crazy shout out, but it's coming from the heart, like we genuinely are.

Speaker 2

Like, Yeah, i'll go rate, We'll start vintage cola.

I'll get that an eight point two, okay, okay, which, by the way, my scale is there's no such thing as a ten.

I'm a very serious person.

I would give this like an eight nine.

Very good refreshing, doesn't feel heavy.

That's a big thing on soda for those you're like, I can only have a couple of SIPs.

Speaker 3

This is for those listening and not watching.

That was an eight point two for Vintage Cola and an eight point nine for Classic Grape.

Speaker 1

And you have the grape flavor and the difference here because it's like a soda substitute or whatever.

Speaker 4

Yeah, yeah, whatever concepts in your brain.

But the sizzle, it's a light sizzle, light sizzle.

It's not one that's like attacking your mouth as it goes in there.

Sure to God, wait till you get your lips on the Chris Bapple.

Speaker 2

I'm hummed, buddy, I'm not shitting yet.

Speaker 3

He's thought, Hey, Will's not trying to be funny.

That's serious.

I got an email here from an MPT sixer.

I got Lexi Morris.

She says, Fellas, I'm a proud Milk Team six member and weekly listener.

My husband got me hooked months ago.

Speaker 3

Just got the news that my wife is pregnant.

I've been listening to Busting since the first episode in twenty nineteen, listen to a couple episodes for the Dads, but hadn't deep dived just yet.

With the news coming out for the Dads will be my number one podcast.

I'm over the moon, excited to bring a little one into this world.

And I was born for the trenches.

My question for y'all, my wife is only two to three weeks a long.

We found out November fourteenth, and now she wants to do a big shi bang to surprise everyone on Thanksgiving.

This is a brilliant idea.

By the way, I love this.

With the close relationship I have with my father, how do I not tell them I'm not great at keeping secrets and we talk every day.

Speaker 2

What do I do and how do I act?

Speaker 3

I know if I ruin the surprise, my wife will be absolutely livid.

She will, she will.

We'd hate to start fatherhood in the doghouse.

Please help.

Can't wait to be a part of the pet Sikos also cream soda allibop is better than great.

Speaker 4

Yeah, I said it.

It always comes back to lollipop.

Did you say they're how far along?

Speaker 3

Well, we'll knock that part out.

Speaker 4

Gotta knock you got that.

Speaker 3

That's a good note from a chef.

Well, knock his name out.

Speaker 4

You better be a bear trap.

Yeah, or you just got to remind yourself this is beyond you, beyond you and your insecurities of keeping a secret, like.

Speaker 4

You better be a bear trap.

Speaker 1

This is again you want to feel like you know, you love to film the moment, the reaction and capture it because your dad's gonna be elated.

Speaker 2

He's gonna lose it.

Speaker 3

He's gonna look like old fat Stafford reading Lexi's email.

He's gonna be balling, yeah, or he's gonna be trying to hide the tears.

He's gonna be so excited if you are as close as he's saying.

Especially it's like loose lips sink ships.

Speaker 4

Yes what they say.

Speaker 3

And I would say that this is a great time where you're just gonna you're gonna have to eat the secret, dude, and he'll know something's going on.

Speaker 1

Maybe Yeah, he's got to pour your sight on into just being excited that everybody's coming to town and seeing them, and don't do it so much where he's like it's something up and then you're kind of putting a weird spot.

Speaker 3

Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, just make it.

And if you have to make up a little lie to keep a secret for a really fun thing, you know, dude, I'm all in favor of lying to protect a surprise birthday party or lying to protect a gender reveal, or we're pregnant.

Speaker 2

Yeah, yeah, I'm like a Santa Claus lie.

Speaker 4

It's a little a little white lie, a little white light.

Anonymous.

I have an anonymous right in here.

Rading dat.

That's pretty great.

Speaker 1

I just got married on October twenty fifth.

See a picture below for the boys.

My husband and I want to have Oh this is a female just ripping shots.

No, yes, she knows how to hang?

Speaker 2

Speaker 4

Does she knows how to hang She knows how to drink a beer in a ollipop?

Speaker 2

Come on?

Speaker 1

My husband and I want to have kids, but we don't know when we want to start or what conversation.

What that conversation is like?

Any advice for an aspiring member of Milk Team slash Milf Team six, Who bought?

Who brought up the conversation first, How did it go, what questions did you have, et cetera.

Any guidance will be helpful and appreciated.

I'm a Day one listener for the Dads and a Tier one of busting as well.

Thanks so much much for reading and gb oh just taking a shot at old fellow vall chef.

Speaker 4

Jack a lot.

Speaker 2

It's forgiven us Tennessee fans with at the banter.

Yeah, yeah, we did have a little fun, man, That's how we do it involved.

Could you like to go for a round?

Speaker 4

That's a great question, by the way, it is a great question.

How did it come up with y'all?

Speaker 1

I think we both kind of knew we wanted to get started, Yeah, as soon as possible.

I know that's not the same for everybody.

Everybody has different conversations at the end of the day.

I don't think you're not going to figure out the perfect setup or the perfect.

Speaker 2

Time, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1

Yeah, Like, if you think back to everything that worked out for you that wasn't a perfect moment, Yeah, that ended up resulting in favor to where you look back on those moments and you think, ah, I'm glad SO and so forced me to do this.

I'm glad this person said no to me.

I'm glad this you know, the these people gave.

Speaker 2

Me a shot.

Speaker 1

I'm glad I ended up doing this at not the perfect moment or the perfect time, and it comes to work out.

You think of all those moments, it's no different with parenthood.

I mean, you're gonna you're not gonna be able to time up everything that some people get lucky and they're able to.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Yeah, but dude, I'm telling you right now, the perfect moment is going to be the moment when they come.

It's not gonna be what you planned on, what you thought about.

It's just getting into buds, training, breeding until Dad's we gotta.

Speaker 3

Get into buds.

That's step one, and I think pre step if I can add anything of healthily pressuring your partner, I think Jill absolutely murdered it by just sending me pictures of you and Chara with Ru looking so happy and just the cutest photos of Rude that she could possibly find screenshot and that sending it to me she's adorable.

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1

That's a good point, because you were a guy that didn't know if you were necessarily ready, Yeah, and thinking of the conversation advice she's looking for, like, yeah, as the female wanting to get your your guy on board.

Speaker 3

Send cute baby pigs, dude of like happy couples that you know he's a fan of, or maybe it's y'all's friends.

And look how precious this little baby looks.

Oh my gosh, do you think ours will have blue eyes?

Do you think ours would have blonde hair?

Speaker 2

Do you think?

Speaker 4

You know?

Speaker 3

Asking those little questions because then me very happily in Semen Team six at the time, I'm reading these texts and I'm looking at Rue and I'm thinking to myself, wouldn't mind having one of those?

Speaker 2

That is horrible?

Speaker 4

Gotta stop posting photos?

Are you had me in help?

Speaker 3

It was the you weighing in bed next to her like selfie video and at the end she giggles and kisses you on the cheek and says love you, dad, Dad.

Jill sends me that.

I'm like, Okay, this is at this point I think think Will and Jill are in cahoots.

I think they're working together.

Speaker 4

I think that's great advice.

Speaker 2

But yes, that's a really.

Speaker 3

Good way to help pressure your husband that maybe is thinking too much about his college team at the time.

Maybe he's thinking too much about the golf trip coming up.

Speaker 4

Yeah, or maybe the career or maybe the career.

Speaker 3

And just sneak in those little Uh what is that called?

Like the fascist governments loved using it.

It's uh propaganda.

Oh, some good propaganda, some PT six propaganda.

Speaker 4

Yeah, there is there is.

Speaker 2

Hey, guys, how are you sir?

Speaker 3

He is fighting, he is fighting torn ligaments.

Goal, he is fighting goal and uh, he's fighting the good fight of also being a PT sixer.

Yeah, on top of everything, he's the big guy man.

Speaker 4

He said he was on all fours crawl into his bathroom.

Speaker 3

Mark, Wait, are you serious?

Speaker 2

Yeah, and then the dog had to go out, so he had to crawl to the back door let the dog out.

He says.

Speaker 1

He's banging on the glass, begging the dog to come back in so you can crawl back in bed.

Speaker 3

No, you're kidding.

Speaker 2

I'm not joking.

I'm not I'm not joking.

Speaker 1

Like, well, I would guess that in his mind, he probably wish a sniper would have been at the top of a hill and just took him out, because that's how much pain.

It seems like he's in he's fighting right now, he's fighting him down like this.

Speaker 3

I was about to tell him to come on the producer cam or on my cam.

Speaker 2

Now.

Speaker 3

Now I'm like, you guys had gout.

Speaker 4

No, these guys had gout right.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I've had it.

Two flare ups.

Speaker 5

That ship makes you wish your foot just fell up, Like it makes you wish a car ran over your foot and they had to get rid of it.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it swells up.

Speaker 5

It's gnarly, it's nasty and like it's just enough pain for you to be like, I have to do something about this, but it's the doctors are just like, it's just go out, take this pill and hopefully the breakdown.

Speaker 1

It's oh god, yeah, all I can compare it to I had a Liz Frank injury, so I was out for I was like a felt like six eight months in the art thea what's it called arthritis?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

After hell on for a while.

Speaker 1

But yeah, dude, when your foot is I mean, any injury sucks, but when your foot can't work.

Speaker 2

Damn dude.

Speaker 3

Hey leave some comments, yeahs and guys to Taylor, leave some comments and uh, let's hope for the best with the torn ligaments in the goup.

Speaker 2

Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4

Did you have a.

Speaker 3

Lesson of the week for us?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

Speaker 4

Yeah, I got a lesson.

Speaker 1

So Scotty turned one last week and I was I took some time to sit down and think about and reminisce on how Scotty has changed our lives, because when you have two, I know, leading up to Scotty being born, Charli being pregnant and thinking of the bond we have with Rue, there's a part of you that's like number one.

You learn how much your heart expands to love your firstborn or your kid when they come, and then the next when the next one comes, you're like thinking, am I going to even come close to loving this one the same way that I love Rue?

Speaker 4

Yeah?

Speaker 1

But I wrote a little something down and essentially it is you don't realize how fast the early years move until your second kid turns one.

With your first, you're just trying to survive it, the pressure that comes with every cry, every phase, every sleepless night that feels like it's taken forever.

But with your second, you know how quickly and you realize how much at all, how fast it disappears.

My three year old is suddenly this little human with jokes and opinions and asking me all these questions at bedtime from the Grim's fairy tales.

And my one year old is still clinging on to us like we're we are her entire world, more mom so than dad right now.

But she is still very much like connected to us at the hip, with the smiles and the laughter and wanting to be held and all of these things.

And somewhere in the middle of that chaos, I call myself thinking, this is it.

This is our family, not someday, but right now.

Your oldest teaches you how to be a dad, your youngest teaches you how to slow down, and both of them, without knowing it, are raising a better version of you.

So if you're in it, the tantrums, the teething, the long nights, the regressions, all of it, take a second to breathe it in.

These aren't the years you get through.

These are the years that you'll miss and the version of you they remember later.

You're building that guy today and in those moments.

So that's a little bit of the reflection piece.

It's more like, oh, thank you, thank you, gentlemen.

Speaker 4

What's that dude?

Speaker 3

Well said?

Speaker 2

But you you're still like learning on the go, like you have all the firsts with your firstborn, so that you're you're like recreating this capacity for your second.

Speaker 1

They're having their first and like having the same excitement, having the same intention, you know, spend that quality time that you know the first one had, even though the first even though Rue she's like wanting you to paint with her do ours and crafts, she's Scotty wanted to get in the way and kind of hit because she wants to be involved, be like her big sister, be in the mix, and like taking those moments that helps you slow down.

They're like, hey, she's going through her first two, and it just it shifts a perspective of like slowing down on those moments because now that Rue's three, I play all the old videos and tears will come to my eyes when I listen to her old voice memos, just when she's little and has a cute, little innocent voice, and now that she's three and becoming this wonderful little girl.

It just as I hold Scottie, you just get reminded that these moments go so fast because I just wish Ru was Yeah, I know she's three.

She's little, but I wish she was still one two years old, and having those moments that they're gone.

They're now just bottled up in photos and vote in videos and voice memos that we hold on to and love to cling to, like when we're scrolling at nighttime and we're just obsessed with them, like we got our first photos in from being at school and we're clearly just over the moon about and we want all of them, we want to hang them up everywhere, And it's just such a reminder that having Scotty like those moments are happening right now that we wish.

Speaker 4

So much we still had Roo with that we now have it in Scotti.

Speaker 1

So it helps you to kind of slow down and just see the perspective of it all, like when she is having this little regression at twelve months and you're hoping she's doing all right, and you're just having those fun moments when she's laughing, she's ah, she's being a little Scott's Zilla.

It's just appreciating because time fucking flies.

We're always going to talk about time.

We're always going to talk about communication because we just we lose it on and hopefully one day we do for the dads for as long as we're dads.

But this is like a time capsule that we'll get to look back to and hopefully our kids come across it one day and listen to us talk about how they were little, the stuff that we went through, And I think that would be sick if that happens.

But but yeah, man, kind of some reflection as I was thinking about Scotty turning one, because I want to do a video and do all these things and I should probably just give it the chef so we can make something.

But it's tough with how quickly and how much how busy the schedule gets.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I love that lesson of the week.

I have a short quake lesson of the week.

Rip it Mine actually comes verbatim from Jill on Sunday when we were having that little pow Wow come to Jesus' Husband Wife Talk and we had talked on the podcast last week where I was like, I am having trouble having excitement in the morning to like get out of bed.

I'm loved, brother, decent, ps.

I am having trouble having excitement to get out of bed, to go attack the day, to be excited just for the day to day stuff.

Speaker 2

And.

Speaker 3

Jill, just with tears in her eyes, had a really great message to me of when we were back in Fort Worth and you were a contractor and you had all the time in the day to have a nap.

You would sit there and you would call me and you would cry about how you want all the responsibilities and all the opportunities that you now have at your job.

You would have done anything to shoot the commercial that we got to shoot yesterday on Monday, to be able to direct that.

And now that you're in it and you have new responsibilities with our child, you have new responsibilities with me as your wife.

Sit back and really find the things in your life that you are thankful for, and really highlight those and run those things through your mind and remind yourself how good your life truly is.

Because life is good.

We do have a lot of stuff that is hard, we do have a lot of obstacles in our way, but God, we have a cute little family of three and we get to go to Franklin, Tennessee and go, you know, yuck it up with the beaman and just be goofballs.

And I have a great job that like, I'm very excited to be a part of this place.

And I have a daughter that lights up when she sees me, and when I'm still asleep in the morning, Jill was telling me, I'm my tear up on this part.

I'm gonna fight it though.

Jill was telling me that Scarlett stares at me while I'm sleeping because she can't wait for me to wake up.

Speaker 2

Life's good.

Speaker 4

There's really good things in life, and we gotta press and lean into those things.

Speaker 3

That's my lesson of the week.

Speaker 2

Be thankful.

Speaker 3

And what a great time of year to be thankful.

Speaker 4

I love that.

Speaker 2

Man.

Speaker 1

That's a great gratitude and perspective from Jill.

Yeah, good call, dude.

It's she's right, Like that's that's like the correct way of thinking about like we used to beg for a life that we have or opportunities that we now have that you slip into the monotonies of everyday life so you start to like take them for granted.

Yeah, you get in these phases, these mental les or these lapses, and you just forget that we are living the life that we want to live.

Speaker 4

Yeah, And so that's great perspective.

Speaker 1

That's a great way to wrap it all the way back to gratitude or starting with gratitude, because that's she nailed that one.

Speaker 3

We will always be going up that hill, and when we get on top of that hill, there's gonna be a new hill that we have to go climb.

And there are times that we should take of being at the top of that hill and being happy and leaning into that before we then press into that next hill of responsibilities, problems, issues, whatever, because life is not going to get easier, is going to get harder.

Speaker 1

As you often say, yeah, there's always going to be issues and problems that we face, no matter what.

Speaker 4

Well said man, thank you, Yeah, well said, and well.

Speaker 3

Said on you.

Speaker 4

I have no no no well said on you, bro.

Speaker 3

Okay, before you start, before you start, Chef Jack lotting me.

I love it when you write stuff, and I'm just gonna leave it at that.

Speaker 4

I love it when you saw stuff.

He's not cut his mind, dude, you that was well said.

Speaker 3

Cut his mike.

He's done.

Speaker 4

Is that it boys, It is that.

Speaker 1

It feels like it's it a great sode, what a sod.

It's as always, it's a great time, great community, great time to be for the dads.

Yep, let's gear up.

For Thanksgiving, Christmas merch is out.

Christ Yeah, Christmas merch is out.

Crush the wet.

The rest of your week go be great.

As my daughter ru would say, oh dude, another one matter of fact before we go.

When you were talking about she sits there and waits for you.

She's excited for you to wake up.

A fun one like when you're in bed.

This is dad hack, whatever you want to call it.

But doing the whole you know how they get in.

Speaker 4

The pikaboo phase or I'm sure Scarlet is probably getting in that face.

Speaker 3

She's getting into the funny face.

I was putting magnolia leaves in front of my face.

Speaker 1

Yeah, reveal in So starting to learn about that concept a little bit whenever they're able to sit or crawl and like carry themselves, like when you bring them down in your bed, like in the morning time it's just you, wife and the little one, but sitting them there and like doing pekaboo where you're like under the covers and mom and.

Speaker 4

You know Charlie like, oh where's that?

Where dead it go?

Speaker 2

And she's like lean up and trying like lifting the cover.

Speaker 4

She'll lift the covers and see my face and she gets all excited.

Speaker 2

Dude.

Speaker 4

That is a though.

Speaker 1

That that's a Those are memories that I'll literally always finally think about is when they're that little, like playing the Pikaboo game in the bed where you're hiding under the covers.

Speaker 2

It's the best.

It's the best.

Speaker 3

It's so magical, dude, It's truly magical.

Yeah, those moments.

Yeah, but being a dad's pretty cool, dude.

Speaker 2

Being a dad's pretty cool, man.

Speaker 4

Being a mom's school too.

Being a mom is pretty badass, dude.
