I'd love to kick off please instead of saving it
for the lesson of the week and at the end,
since it's a it's a Mother's Day theme. I have

(13:01):
some here that I would like to share for everybody,
whether you are somebody with a mom, whether you're somebody
without a mom, whether somebody or you're somebody that has
your wife who is the mother of your children.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
This is a Mother's Day message from for the dads.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Most of us. And again I'm writing from a spot
to where we're going to be listening to videos that
Deeke's mom sent in, Chef's mom sent insures mom sent in.
Everybody knows that your boys cried on this podcast many
of times talking about my mother could because my mother
suddenly passed away four or five years ago, four or
five years ago, Ruse four, so it was when Charle
was pregnant. But this message here, most of us will

(13:42):
never know when the last time was, the last time
your mom sent you a message, the last time she
called just to check in, the last time she said
I love you before you rushed off the phone.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
You didn't market nobody ever does.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
For the dads who still have their mom, you're in
the middle of those last times right now and you
don't even know it. My boys, listen up here, Zach
and Trey listen to this. Call her this week, not
because there's something wrong, but because nothing is wrong. Drive
over there for no reason, let her talk too long
about something you don't care about, and actually listen to.
Let her be proud of you out loud, even if

(14:15):
it does embarrass you, because some of us would give
everything we have for one more of those ordinary moments.
Doesn't have to be a holiday. Don't wait for it
to be a holiday. Don't wait for it to be
a birthday. How about just a regular Tuesday or a Wednesday.
As you're listening to this episode and while we're here,
look at the mother of your children. She's doing the
same thing for you, are for your kids that your

(14:36):
mom did for you. The invisible work, the worry that
never clocks out, the mental load we have no idea
about or even how to solve. Sometimes the love she
gives you and the kids that doesn't even need a reason.
Don't wait for her to tell you she's running on empty.
Let me see that again. Don't wait for her to
tell you she's running on empty. See it before she

(14:57):
has to say it. This Mother's Day weekend, don't you
buy the flowers and call it done. Tell her specifically,
what she means to your kids, what she means to you.
Make her feel like the most important person in the room,
because she is. Your kids are going to grow up
and feel exactly about her the way you feel about
your mom right now. Make sure she knows that. And

(15:18):
for the dads who have lost their mom, you carry
her and how you parent in the things you catch
yourself saying to your kids that she used to say
to you. You carry her in those fond memories and
thoughts about her that your kids will never fully understand,
but feel. She didn't leave, she just changed form. Love
your mom like you already know the date, Love the
mother of your children, like she's watching you become the

(15:38):
man your mom wanted you to be. That is the message,
oh that I would like to I wanted to kind
of start with that versus I don't know how long
people listen. I don't know if people listen for like
forty five minutes and then don't finish the rest of
the episode. I know there are a bunch of POPA
Team sikos out there. But again, before we dive into

(15:59):
all the mother stuff, I did want to I did
want to share that because it's stuff like that. It's like,
we know how precious life is and you truly, you
legitimately never know. Yeah, So love your mom's voice. Call
your mom's legit, call your mom your call your mom's.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
There were two things that we'll see in my mom
interview or my mom's videos that I was embarrassed about.
That were those not the first words out of my
mouth when I came into the office. It was to
Chef and Derek about something. We'll see it later in
the pod. But you wrote so eloquently, you know, let

(16:39):
your mom brag about you and be embarrassed by it.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
It's the worst, but that one, God damn it. Fellas
enjoy it.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah that when there laughs, say mom, stop mom please.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Then when you let her know that she's embarrassing you
on the way out, just let her know that you
love her.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Well, I love you very much. You're a good man.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
I love you too. Bro, Hey, Fellas, call your mom
call him s week that you a matter of fact,
it's got to be put on their It's got to
be put on their internship like action items.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Make sure you call your mom. Get I brag about
Zach really quick.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Will his Mother's Day gift is that the one you're
going That's what I'm going with. That's where you're going with.

Speaker 8 (17:20):
Text her this morning to see uh when she has
availability Saturday, because obviously they're not open Sunday. But that's
what we're doing.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
He got her a massage at the Four Seasons.

Speaker 9 (17:32):
And so if.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Anybody's wondering if Zach loves his MoMA or not, he
told us he was getting that chefing on. You flipped over.

Speaker 10 (17:43):
Yeah, dude, hell yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Thank you. That Jill's idea. Jill's idea, but I'll take it.
We have maybe the best easiest segue of all time
because we have some callbacks from last episode, and I
thought that this would be a great one for our
Mother's Day episode.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
I have one two. Autism Miller wrote in Oh good good,
the boys are back there to Autism Miller, you'll have
to watch them.

uh oh Elitt. Trevor Ewleitt wrote in Hey, Brandon, don't

What is that in reference to? You'll have to watch

(18:36):
last episode. You have to check out last episode because
I don't know what that's a reference to.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
We had a phone call about a gentleman who, uh,
who had a piss missile and he was scared to
have shockwave with his wonderful wife because she was pregnant.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
And so people are be careful. Trevor was giving them
a hard time. Yeah, Brandon, you're fine, You're gonna be
all good, be all good.

Speaker 8 (22:27):
I'm pretty sure it's fully in Virginia. I think I
think just on a map. We've been trained from like
where the little big stars.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
I'm with you, the way society has trained us, the
way society has trained us.

Speaker 8 (22:42):
It's definitely that big circle, right you know you guys
ever had like the place mats as little kids, with
like the with like the map and stuff. Yeah, oh yeah,
yeah that conditioned us as children.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Well yeah, put the tinpole had on that bullshit, and
social studies conditioned this.

Speaker 6 (23:03):
This side of the table would like to express that
it is not a circle. It's a square. I would
like everyone to know that he's wrong about the circle.
It's a square square.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Okay, So we're learning stuff right now, and my man said.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
It's it's fully in Virginia.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Fully in Virginia. And they're trying to get you. He's
trying to get you. I'm asking questions, asking questions. I
will say this. I was thinking about it. Vatican City. Okay,
if I'm on a phone call in Vatican City, Trey

(23:40):
calls me up.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
He says, yo, sure, what are you doing.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Where are you? Am I gonna tell him, Hey, I'm
in Vatican City? Or am I going to be like, hey,
I'm in Rome.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
Vatican it's a country, so Vatican.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
Yeah, if you walk into the Vatican, you're like, I'm
in the Vatican.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
These dudes, man, you say.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Whatever you want.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
I say whatever I want to say.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
What the distrect of Columbia, it's its own entity, and
you're saying it's in Virginia.

Speaker 8 (24:08):
It's true, it's a true entity, but it might be
encapsulated by Virginia.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
A good answer, isn't it Maryland? No, it's neither. Let's
set the record.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
I was.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
I think I'm the only one that was right on this.
It's an independent district.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
It is an independent district. But isn't it on the
side of it We're pissing, We're pissing.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
Our boy does cross over the Potomac, but it like
bridges the bank of the Potomac, and there's kind of
some areas that kick into the Potomac. It is more
of a square than a circle, Zach, So I apologize there,
but it is. There is a part of it that
is on the Virginia side that you can.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
See right here.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
So there is a Virginia side.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I don't believe you were on the Virginia side. So
so most important part to take away from this is
essentially you were right. You were right.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
The there's a there's an argument there.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, but you know, for all the Northeastern people like
Ted Casper, he's he's againt, pitched off. No, we're talking
about this. He's winning. He's wincing again right now.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Hopefully Stephen G twenty is on our side. This was
from Spotify. Please get some blue collar guys on here,
but make sure that they're union workers because those guys.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
Have no filter.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I think he's right about that, Stephen Geek shout out
Stephen gee.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Uh callback from last week? Ac still down Oh.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Perfect in the upstairs where the kiddos are. Yeah that's great.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Yeah, still hot and muggy upstairs.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
It's not good. And he's like, it needed some part
that had to be ordered and delivered, which gets in
I think today, yeah or yesterday maybe, Like hopefully it
gets fixed today.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Well we've been without AC upstairs for.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
What week now?

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yes, and upstairs is ideal because heat rises, so the
heat's already going up there anyways, and then you just
you let the heat kind of ruminate. That's perfect.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
We've been leaving Scott in it.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Oh God, I got a condition. Yeah, she's forged in
fire right now. She starts crying a little baby. Wait
you cry? Oh, you want your binkie? Yeah, just give
her the binkie. We go, no sleepsack, she's upstairs. We
get the fan on her. Wait, you want your lama
because I know you ain't hot.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Yeah, this is how we had to learn.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Rue. She taps out.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
She's got to go to the guest room downstairs.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Summer's in Bontaire. You told me they would just have
you go lay out in the driveway. Oh it's hot.
Go see how hot the driveway is.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Mom wouldn't let us put the thermostat under a certain degree.
Like we had to get fans blaring all the time,
small rooms sweating, and.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Get the windows open. Get some air in here, get
some air in here. Yeah, gotta keep the electric build down.
Oh dude, that's all AC still out good? Yeah, stuff everybody.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Good. Rue doesn't want to sleep upstairs. Good, oh God,
struggles struggles at bedtime.

Speaker 10 (27:05):
Good.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
I will say this about Scotty. I'll brag about Scotty.
She crushed it at the Clumps baby shower. Yeah, I
saw you at the Clumps baby shower.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yeah, she's a great time. And again like.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Not that Rue's not a warrior. Scotty just is a warrior.
Does that make sense? Yeah, the parents out there with
the four year old Scotty, she's an eighteen month old.
She's a second born. She's got more grit to her,
she's got more fearlessness. Don't give a attitude to her,
Like you'll get done reading her stories. It should be
get done in the bottle and what you kind of

(27:39):
rock her and she's dozing, like I'll be putting her
in the crib, kiss her on the forehead and you
can you can sense the moisture on her forehead as
we're putting her in the crib.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
And Scotty isn't talking like quite quite yet, but she
like she's talking. Yeah, she's gathering some words that she
pulled me aside at the baby shower. She told me
a warrior doesn't need a weapon. A warrior is the weapon. Yeah,
she told me.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
You know what she told me sharing, which is super
weird that she had that one. She said that Rue
is a farmer in a war and Scotti is a
warrior in a farm.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
I don't know where she's getting this, bro.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
But Scotty said that she said that to me at
the party.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
I was eating a cupcake Saturday night.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Saturday night, I walked upstairs and she's sitting on the couch.
God was looking everywhere in the house for and then
I just go in her room and I just see her.
She's just got the lamp on, sitting in the rocking chair.
She's got the book open, and she just looks up
and says that nobody's coming to save you. She said, yes,
brod close the book, climbing the crow, put the baking

(28:38):
about them one to sleep. She's like, I'll get the lights, all.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Right, just get the lights on your way on that.
Oh man. She well, and also, I don't know if this.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
Is uh the.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, okay, look on the other end, she's our princess. Yeah,
she's ru'st I'm obsessed with Rue. We're all obsessed with her.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
We love her, we love real.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Rue caught some uh some hand foot mouth hand mouth
foot hand foot mouth, hey, hey.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Hey good good twice in one year.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, twice we got uh. We had a tip from
the school that it was kind of going around. We
thought Rue was all good, and then all of a sudden,
Sunday comes around. She wasn't feeling wells talks about her
throat hurting, got a couple of those little uh like
red dots in her throat. Yeah, and then she just starts.
It's like tantrum after tantrum. She's hard to reel in.
She's just she's tough, Bro, She's a feeler. She's our

(29:33):
emotional one.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, yeah, she's our emotional one. But hand foot mouth
good again, it's like the end of the world when
her feet kind of itch and she's just like, you know,
and we can't really can't help you, Like there's nothing
we can do. We could put the creams on, we
could do this stuff. But Bro, I had to tell
her this morning and when we were we were at
breakfast because we're just not on fumes. But we're just like, Rue,

(29:55):
come on, Bro, you've got to figure this shit out.
I mean, Ruth's been draining us man joining us, like
last night, what's so funny.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
I think it's funny. That's God figured the shit out?
Did you not hear, Scottie? No one's coming to save you.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Rue, Like yesterday, obviously we kept her home from school,
babysitter canceled today, she doesn't want to get sick. Good,
that's awesome, that's shark care. Yeah, so mom and I
just got to figure it. And Mom and I we've
been figuring it out. Rue last night, a lot of
trouble going to sleep again. Feed it. She comes up
with any different reason why she doesn't want to go

(30:33):
to bed, And this is typical on a regular day,
whether she wants to read more stories or just she
comes up with something that she has to do before
she gets in bed. So this just gives her a
bunch of ammo to like stay up and not go
to bed. Yeah, she's crying. She wants mom and dad
a lay with me, all the things to where it's
about eight thirty nine o'clock before we finally get downstairs,

(30:57):
and then then she's making her way to where she's
now starting to leave her room. She's figuring out she
can open the door and come outside of her room,
which I know is gonna be eventually. We're gonna have
to nip that in the ass. Yeah, she'll come down
and say I thought Mama was coming back up. And
I'm sitting there on the couch like I don't even
know what the conversations are with you, mom My. Mom
is getting ready for bed right now. I'm sure she's

(31:19):
gonna come up. But she says she was gonna come up.
She turns around and go back, goes back upstairs. I
just hear her start crying, and I'm just like, goly man,
we have got to figure this shit out. Bro. Charle
goes up there, calms her down. We're finally watching We're
watching the show, by the way, Secret Millionaire, great show
on Netflix right now. But we're getting ready for bed.

(31:40):
Heru's like too hot, can't sleep, for the love of God,
Gather all the stuff, Gather the sal machine, gather the
you moved her, gathered all the stuffed animals, the pillow.
We put her down in the guest bedroom on the
first floor. Yeah, sleep in the big bed. Yeah, gotta
essentially do. Mom's gotta do like a whole nother bedtime routine,
laying with her I'm doing it. At first, she wants

(32:00):
like a certain what.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Did I have to go get yet?

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Last night? I can't even remember because I just feel
so beaten down by just one after another after another
with her in this. Then Mom's got to lay with
her good. Then we're getting ready for bed. She comes
in the room. We have to go back and kind
of her Mom has to like soothe her to get
back in bed. One in the morning, Bro, we finally

(32:25):
came back. It's like midnight, and then one in the
morning rolls around. I'm like dozing off, kind of in
like that where I'm starting to dream a little bit,
starting to hit maybe a little bit around where that
light sleep. Then all of a sudden, a white flashing
light comes on and I just hear a conversation. Charles
thinks something's like, what's Waffle doing right now? She turns

(32:45):
on the light. I kind of look around. Ruth's right
there at the end of our bed. Ru's in our
room at the end of the bed. I think I'm
in a horror movie. I kind of like, I'm kind
of startled. She's like she's crying because her feet and
this and that, and it's just like for the love.
I just look at my wife and I'm like, hey,

Rue's just like you know, when you're trying to make
it a point that something's wrong with you and you're
not trying to fall asleep and you're trying to. Ru's

feel bad that I said that to her. And I'm like,
I'm laying in bed. I'm like, hey, sweetheart, would you

stopping some villain from swinging on the good guy.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
And I'm like grabbing her.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
I'm like gripping and I'm like, Scottie, we do not hit,

I grabbed them.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
She just goes her little like smiles that she does too.
When she looks out of the corner of her eye
like she had there's there's stuff going on.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
She knows what's going on. Yeah, she crawled over.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
I was playing at their house, or Scarlett was playing
with Scotty one day over at their house. We're in
their playroom, and in their playroom, the door is like
just four steps up of this little flight of stairs
and it's just out of reach.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
Of Scotty, but like she can, she can get to it.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
And Waffle is on the other side of the door,
just going ye, their bulldog. And we don't want Waffle
in the playroom because she was already in the playroom
and Will thought it was a little.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Much, so Will kicks Waffle out.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
But Waffle's sitting there scratching, and Scotti is slowly making
her way over to the door, and Will like twice, hey, Scotty, Hey,
come back, what are you doing. And Scotty just the
slowest turn the ball to like evil villain, look at
you and smile crawls up the stairs against the door.
Scotty do not open that door, and she literally like

(40:15):
with her hand like kind of up on the doors,
like turning and looking back at Will.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
She's just feeling hilarious. You'll just randomly hear Tiger give
me Tigy back.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
And there, you know, rus like breaking down and now
I just like turned my head and you just see
Scotty like sprinting to the house like holding Tigy with
the big smile on her face.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Like god doing, Oh that's incredible. I got I have
some chaos at home. Not my chaos is so quickly
going to hit here the next week. We're moving on

Movers gonn't do it on the day that we originally

(40:54):
planned and that my parents are flying in for good,
so we moved move in day day early. So I'll
go ask for additional time off from Jeremy because I
told the wrong day to give me PTO on good.
That'll be fun. I am, however, very excited. I'm looking
forward to the movie. I'm actually very stoked on that.

(41:18):
The other thing that's really fun, Scarlett is becoming an
absolute menace within herself.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
She is beginning to stand.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Now, she just she just figured out crawling, and she's
kind of like, hey, I want to stip, like skip
this crawling step. I really just kind of want to
walk now. So we got some bruises on our forehead
because we're feeling very confident on standing by herself. I
came to wake her up this way, good, good good.
I came to wake her up this morning, full on,

(41:48):
just standing in her crib with her eyes just barely
over the crib.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
Just how adorable is that, dude?

me to get a picture with Scarlet. And uh so
Jill like, hands over Scarlet. Maybe the cutest photos ever.
She started grabbing because I had the beard grown out.
She started like grabbing the face and stuff. Just calm
as could be, like she is. Scarlet might be the

(42:17):
most well behaved toddler I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
She's a sweetheart. When we were at the baby maybe
you just give her a ball, Oh, just give her
a ball.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
She's just beating the ball. She's smiling, having a good time.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
She does Scotty, you guys want to do a high five,
and you know, Scotty's like walking over trying to give
her high five, and Scarletes just doesn't know what's going on.
She just keeps beating the ball. Scotty's like reaching and
try and give her a high five. Scotty is like
giving her like five seconds. That's it, like figuring out
with these five seconds or the high five.

Speaker 2 (42:47):

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Yeah, And now I'm trying to.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Tell Scotty like, Scotty, she's just a baby.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
And then as I'm saying, and I'm like, I know,
you're a baby too, and you don't even really get
what I'm saying or understand what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (42:55):

you and goes.

Speaker 1 (42:59):

And that's where it happens in the schools.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Good. So then when she's kissing me, I'm like, oh,
so then I'm kissing four others with this one. Yes,
the way that you've been stealing passes. Yeah, edit, don't
edit around that, or do edit around that, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 3 (44:10):
If they clip.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Sherman kiss infants four? Were you gonna say something?

Speaker 1 (44:20):
But I do like that.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
She's in a teeth touching phase.

Speaker 6 (44:22):
She cat had her for a second and Scarlett kept
poking teeth.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
So she's just it's a mouth phase. Maybe with the
passy it is a it's.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
A big mouthface just learning to touch and do all
this stuff. Like Sky loves booping like that's right, worre
scarlets heady like they're just fascinated with like just touching everything.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
And she's big on the Jill calls it the pincer,
figuring out the pincer motion of like precisely picking things up.
And so she's big on people's faces. She loves doing
the pincer on your nose or on your chin and
grabbing some hair right there.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
Yep, she's loving that. Developing with the food food, picking
up your food.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
She destroyed some turkey and these little frozen little dat
hack for you. They have these star shaped frozen pizza
little dinner bites and you microwave it for like twenty seconds.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
She went to town on.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
That, grabbing the little cuts of turkey and the little
cuts of the pizza bites.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
Yeah, she's eating eating, that's good.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
I'm just sitting there watching her. I wasn't even having
to do a thing.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
I'm telling you, man, dinner time. That's a That is
a crack of cold one of mine, My krack of
cold one this week brought to us by always the
greatest of all time, Ollipop. My crack a cold one
is the peaceful sound of nothing ooh, while you're at

(45:49):
the dinner table and just hearing eating take place. That
might sound disgusting to some people out there. Yeah, but Charo,
she made spaghetti the other night. Kids love pasta spaghetti.
The sausage that's in there, were slicing it all up,
and the kids we sat down and they're just eating
away and it was just one of the best moments

(46:13):
in recent memory. Just look over my wife and I'm like, hey,
how about this. She's like, yes, nobody's arguing. Scotty's not
screaming for berries, Rue's not asking questions, delaying, negotiating her
way out of eating dinner. And it was h that's
my cracker cole one, the beeatful sound of nothing at
dinner time.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
I'll take another sip of this BlackBerry vanilla, which is
honestly very good in raspberry Sherbert, Oh, come on, in
accordance with your cracker cold one. I'm very lucky because
my brother was four years older than me in school wise,
he was four years older as well, so I got
really good at monkey see Monkey do of like learning

(46:56):
from someone four years ahead. You are also basically you're
the exact same age as my brother. I think he's
a month older than you, but you're four years ahead
also with your kids. And I love being able to
sit there and listen to you tell stories. Because in
the back of my mind, dinner time is a battlefield.

(47:19):
Like I know that dinner time is a battlefield. So
everything that we're doing right now with Scarlet is in
preparation of those Yeah, I'm not eating this.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
I want a cookie exactly.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
Man like it because it's like throwing us back, like
when we have whether it's a curry or something that
has a little bit of spice in it, because Rue
hates spicy food now and it blows her mind because
back when Ru was younger, she enjoyed anything you kind
of put in front of her. Yeah, and she would
just go to town on all this stuff to where
we're trying to tell Rue, like, dude, you love tomatoes.

(47:53):
You used to love tomatoes, like all of a sudden,
now you just don't like tomatoes, or all of a
sudden you don't like curry, or just it's a little
bit of spice. We have a Mexican Monday and we're
having tacos. Yeah, and it's too spicy or this, or
like you know, if like a small hint of a
green onion, anything green on something, it has to be
like picked off.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
They're like, bro, what are we doing? That's what I'm
saying I'm bring the team up.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Yes, hey, bring the team up. Cal tea cal tea
I But truly I look ahead to those situations. I'm like,
I need to I need to stay locked in and
keep the healthy habits going and keep the environment going
so that when it gets to those times of my

(48:38):
krackical one being a quiet meal where everybody's enjoying their food,
that I can be locked in and ready to go
for those like the battle of dinner time. Because we
read comments too from other people. This isn't just your plight,
like kids just don't want to eat. Some dad wins
will be like my kid ate a slice of pizza, Yeah,

(49:00):
and celebrate he buddy, we get it.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
Just then you learn like then there's like lapses as
parents were you look at, okay, how much they eat
throughout the day, and then you realize they might be
snacking too much to where they don't eat their meals.
So then you got to tighten up snack windows or
just say hey, snack is for just this time and
this time only, or it's an hour, thirty minutes, twenty
minutes before dinner time, we're not eating, We're not eating
anything else because you got to eat your dinner. Yeah,

(49:25):
to where then you gotta throw a consequence in thereof like, okay,
look you, I'll just tell Ruthe straight up, sweetheart, you
don't have to eat your dinner. But everything else you're
talking about you're too tired or she's just doing things
to delay eating food. Yeah, it's like, hey, sweetheart, look,
you don't have to eat dinner. You don't have to
eat any dinner at all. Just know that there's no

(49:45):
snacks after. Just know that there's no cookie on the
other side. Whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
That's like her TV.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Yeah, no TV. If she's alluded to TV before dinner time,
there's gonna be no TV. If she's alluding to being tired, Hey, look,
we don't have to eat dinner. We can go upstairs
right now and get you ready for bed. Yeah, we're
not forcing you to eat dinner. We just know that
this is You're gonna be cranky, you're gonna be tired,
you're gonna be hungry eventually, and then when you are hungry,
we're not gonna be able to help you because we
have to stand firm and knowing that you know, if

(50:11):
you're gonna eat, you gotta eat in this window to
get them in that routine. So you'll be you'll be
you'll be seeing these things like as they as they
come about. Whenever she doesn't start eating dinner. Then it's
almost like you have to audit yourself of like, Okay,
how many snacks have they had throughout the afternoon or
leading up to dinner to where I'm giving them too
much leeway to argue with me at dinner time because

(50:31):
I know I give them as many pouches or as
many little snacks or what are they called, what are
they called not not cereal pieces? Dad brain? Right now,
dad brain puffs, puff puffs, puffs, little breakfast puffs. Yeah,
whatever you whatever, parents feed snack wise. Yeah, it's like

(50:52):
then you audit your you're auditing yourself to be like,
all right, we gotta show down, we gotta shut down
the window leading up to this, even if they're pissed
off about not one to wait for dinner or they
want the banana now or whatever it is. Yeah, they'll
tighten up your ship.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Little spoon puffs, dude, or such a dad hack by
the way, for any dad's out there, Oh my god,
and the little cereal puffs too, that little spoon makes
shout out, no free shout out.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
Also final final dad hack on dinner time.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
Something that I remembered from my childhood that Jill and
I have started doing a little bit is my mom
would always have a rotation of CDs that she would
play when she was cooking and the music would keep on.
She would turn it down softly when we would then
sit down to eat, and it was like.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
Dixie Chicks nor Jeon like that. Oh yeah, dude, have
the mood.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Yes, And we've started doing some soft jazz real like
you know Alexa volume three. And sorry for any listeners
if I just activated your life like with the.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Dog digging the bell and their mouth starts salivating because
they know it's dinner time. Yeah, and them in the
if you've been getting this condition their brains. Yes, dude,
it's something more as something more important on your phone
right now? Will Okay, it's.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
She gave me.

Speaker 8 (52:14):
She gave me the exact time she wanted her massage.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
Okay, let's go, let's go.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Oh, I got to hit him with the coaches.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
And it's about to say, as soon as I saw
Sack on the phone, I can get that hack back
to us. Yeah, it's bad hack repeat it back.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
I'm trying to hit them with a callback, conditioning our brains.
I look over, I just see the bright screen going
on Tuesday, some more important on your phone on this buddy,
you don't have to do the smile on will space.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
I was like, no, it's like your mean teacher in

Dude. For any parents at home that have these preteens,
Oh my god, it's just a whole other ballgame, dude.
Like we're sitting here talking about Baba's and Banky's and
nap times and hamfoot mouth. We got kid saying some
the wildest shit of all time, where I'm like, Yo,

this first tea.

He had a junior set of clubs, and the junior
set sometimes will like two clubs on one club, so
it's like an in betweener. So I'll say two three iron,
four five iron, five six iron, six seven iron.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
Okay, this kid, I'll make up a name for him.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
Brad was like Coach Sherman, Coach Sherman, should I hit
my hybrid or my six seven iron? And I looked
at Brad and I go, Brad, I think there's only
one answer, dude. Go And he looks at me so
disgusted and goes Coach Sherman. That's so immature, dude, and

(54:37):
grabs the six seven iron out of his back. Does
not lap at all at my six seven joke. I
then overhear him with another kid, like thirty yards away,
and this is like way later in the day, and
he goes Coach Sherman, did the six seven mean to me?
I told him that memes been dead for like months now.

Speaker 5 (54:56):
Oh they're brutal, shrem They're brutal, dude. I was telling you.

They're mean, dude. I did after school program and there
was a very nice girl I'll call her like Isabelle.
One day it was like, hey, why do you have
a gap in the middle of your teeth? This is
like a fourth grader. I was like, I don't know,
Isabelle why. She was like it was the right for
Halloween and she was like Belle or like some proud

Speaker 5 (56:00):
They're like, why do you.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
Why are you four to seven?

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Well, I'd probably gonna grow to be like six five,
so it'll could be taller than you. And then you
can't really say anything on that because it's you have
to be proven so you're like, fat.

Speaker 3 (56:14):

of me for playing Mario Kart World and you're.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
Just in your head the rest of the round, driving home,
looking at yourself in the mirror, no music on, just
the sound of the road.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
This one, the only kid that's like being nice to me,
is like the one kid that's not talking about all
the memes and he's just talking about animal facts, being
so sweet about it. But he's my only friend. He's like,
you know, the North American Robin actually eats this because
blah blah blah. Do you know that octopus has eight stomachs.
I'm just in there. I'm like, yeah, dude, I think
you need your wedge and not a putter. I don't

oh yeah, yeah, getting his clubs. I'm just trying to
keep them golfing.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
Yeah, trying to keep them golf the while trying to
be cool. While trying to be cool.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
I tried to jump in on another conversation they were
talking about.

It's the button.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
You just start going, yeah you hit that, bro Co
Surman up.

Like I did have my unk moment, but there were
some lanes where I.

Like Cortisol Spike mentioned stuff like that, you'll probably get
a couple kids be like.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
Oh, Mogging. Mogging and Aura were like talked about a lot.
They were talking about thankfully, Jared plays Minecraft here.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
And like talks about Minecraft a lot.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
And I'd seen the Minecraft movie and I hit them
with the Chicken Jockey because they were talking about the
Minecraft movie and that got a laugh ye, And then
they all started making up stories of like different stuff
that happened in the theater with the chicken jockey, and
like all of them were like obviously not true and
it was hilarious.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
Next time, you just pull out like a little face
hammer face Maxing or it looks Maxing.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
Just sitting off to the side of the Green co Truman,
what are you doing? Uh looks Maxing Douglas.

Speaker 3 (59:32):

one you forget it at home.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
That's what you kids do now.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
And guys, a great tip is actually you use your
putter for this too. Butters are great for this. But
that was my crack, A cool one. I did have
a lot of fun with those twelve year olds. Another
great quote that we can cut around, Uh dad as.

Speaker 1 (59:58):
You have any dad acts, I am not. I got
a dad win. I have a dad win on the weekend.
My dad win on the weekend is uh getting the
kids up on Sunday morning before mom woke up. Oh yeah, yeah,
give mom a little extra sleep, get the kids up
and rolling. I gave rue a mission on Sunday morning
because the minute I came in the bedroom morning time,

(01:00:20):
where's mama? Oh no, big pan, Dad's up in your room. Mama.
I'm like, hey, sweetheart, we're letting mama sleep. Like she's
still sleeping right now, but I have a mission for us.
And she got her eyes get big, and I'm like,
we're gonna let mama sleep. We're gonna sneak out of
the house. We're gonna go get coffee. We're gonna get
mama's favorite latte, one of mama's favorite lattes and we're
gonna bring it back home because Mama said she was

(01:00:41):
gonna do pancakes Sunday in the morning. She's oh yeah,
and I'm like, but we gotta be quiet getting out
of the house. Ru is ready. You give her a mission,
She's ready to rock.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
We gotta we got them dressed good with the missions
because you give for those. And she locks in.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Yeah, she dials in to the point where you know,
scott Zilla is being Scott' Zilla and might be a
little loud, Like if we get downstairs.

Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
And we's like, Scottie, we gotta be quiet.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
We got to sneak out of the house. Mom's already
like up in the back of the closet. I'm like, hey,
I'm trying to keep the kids away. You're gonna go
out and your coffee, resist my pancakes. You can get pancakes,
rock and we'll come home.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
Keep them out for about twenty minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
Came back.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
Had a great pancakes Sunday morning.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
But Dad win getting up before mom, getting the kids
out of the house low the mom to kind of
do her thing in the morning.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
God, I love that I have a dad loss here.

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
It's here.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Daniel Saboleuski Daniel Sableuski emailed us what's up boys, longtime
petsico here and wanted to share a recent dad loss.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
Just this past week, I picked.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
My almost two year old daughter from the babysitter after
work and was on a normal drive home. She has
recently been a whiner in the car, so when it
was a quiet ride home, I didn't want to question it,
nor did I want to turn around and make eye
contact or remind her she was quiet and not whining.
Big mistake. Ten minutes into thirty into my thirty minute

(01:02:04):
drive home, I hear her lips smacking. I turn around
wondering what she was doing, and I found out that
there was a piece of chocolate left in the cup
holder in the car seat. Good. My sweet little angel
decided not only to eat the chocolate, but it was
slightly melted, so it went everywhere. Good good chocolate smeared

(01:02:24):
all over her face and hair, Good in every crevice
of the car seat and clothes too. Good. Worst part
was I couldn't even be mad because when I turned
and saw what had happened, she just gave me the
messiest cue to smile. And when I got home, I
locked in, took her right into bat time, and aggressively
scrubbed chocolate out of every nook and cranny. Best part

(01:02:45):
is my wife, the chocolate culprit. But he's not gonna
blame it on the wife.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
No, I can't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
Not on a Mother's Day episode, thought this was the
best thing since slice bread. Just bruce to the show,
as all my fellow Peatsticker sixers know. Too much silence
can sometimes be a bad thing. Thanks boys for all
you do and bringing all us petsikos together. Dan from
Jersey Hole, my god, Oh my god, bro, that is everywhere. Yeah,

(01:03:18):
that will throw the image up. I mean that is
she looks like William Wallace.

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
Yeah, you get home. That's which that's Operation Chocolate.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Yeah, get home.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
I feel him though on the tantrums, like against Scotty.
You can't be in a car with her over ten
to fifteen minutes before she starts losing her mind. There's
gotta be something out there, like a net or something
that catches them throwing, like you know, Scotty will throw
her lama or her or binkie like on the ground. Yeah,
and so here for example, when we're going to the

(01:03:48):
baby shower at Clumps over the weekend, it was just
me and Scotti. We're going to divide and conquer. Rue
and Mom went to ballet. Me and Scotty were going
out to the baby shower. We were going to rendezvous
back at home so that way then we can all
go to this festival that Rue had going on with
her classmates. But on the way to the baby shower,
it's just me and Scotti. It was probably a thirty

(01:04:08):
five minute drive forty minute drive to get to Clumps
from where I was at, and I had to pull
over three different times, one time being on the side
of the highway. I was under a bridge on the
side of the highway because Scotty is screaming bloody murder
because she wants Lama. And by the time I pull
over and get all this stuff, she's still like in
a bad mood because again is a car right over
fifteen minutes. Yeah, and it is.

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
You're in hell, card, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
She hates it. That's her body, bro.

Speaker 12 (01:04:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
She loves to move, She loves to be free.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
She loves to be Zilla, even if she had stuff
on the window or stuff to look at like she
they most parents I'm saying, would be like, oh, does
well have cutesy little stuff and that think scott Zilla
wants to zilla.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
Maybe I do need to give her stuff to mess with.
That's over because we're just we're no gear, you know
what I mean, We're all we're no gear. She's got
you know, if you need a snack, you give it
back to her. But what she's done with the snack whatever,
she'll throw that to the side. It's when she loses lama.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
Oh okay, I didn't know that. She didn't, So you're
she's has no gear back there, right.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
No gear. She's just got the little mirror in front
of her to where she can look at that in
the passenger seat.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
Oh okay, so that's yeah, yeah, that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
That that could be a bad learn right there, could
dad hack.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
But it's like she'll throw the lama her webbing up
and it'll be stuck at the bottom, like in between
the door and the seat, so I can't reach it.
There's nowhere where I can reach back and grab it
and give it back to her. It's always in the
hardest places in front of her car seat, down into
the seat on the side, like I just said, in
between the door and the seat. The bet she'll lose

(01:05:38):
it like under her arm or under her back, and
she just can't you know, she can't reach it. How
does it get under their butt?

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
That's like an actual thing that I'm like, I pick
Scarlet up out of the seat and all the stuff that's.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
Under her butt, I'm like, how's it getting underneath you?

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
I had to drive off on a side road, park
it in a driveway you get out under or on
the highway underneath the bridge. Had to get out, pulled
one where I was by a gas station, thank god,
pulled in the gas station.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
McDonald's. Ended up getting these breakfasts.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
Hey, come on, man, Hey, Jill got this little fidget
book for Scarlet. One of my favorite parts of your
baby being in a car seat is you can only
see the top of their head when you like turn
around and look back at him if you don't have
a mirror. And Jill has this whole fidget book for
Scarlet that she just bought and she's very proud of it.
And we're driving to dinner two nights ago, and we

(01:06:30):
hear the book drop and Jill goes, oh, she.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
Dropped her fidget book. She loves her fidget book. We
get her fidget book.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
I go, yeah, and I pick up the fidget book.
I can't see Scarlet's face, so I'm just reaching over
here and I place it there and I here oh,
and I'm like, oh, she does love her fidget book.
Fidget book. Then all of a sudden truly goes boom
and flies. I've grown up the car. Jill was like,
what was that? I just go, I don't think she

(01:06:58):
wants her.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
That's with the pigeon. But you'll be unbuckled, like you
all be driving up fully unbuckling. I'm like climbing in
the back, like reaching over down into the bottom where
the door and everything is looking as gotty.

Speaker 10 (01:07:10):
You have to hold this, yeah, quick throwing it if
they don't want something you want, you like you like
take a peek back and you just kind of see
their car set and you just see their little arm
like throw something on the side.

Speaker 5 (01:07:21):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
It's so funny, dude, not being able to see their
face but see their arms just like throwing something. Unreal.

Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
Do do we want to dive in?

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
I know we're like over an hour, got to keep
it under it, and we have to keep it under
an hour. So do we want to dive into. We
could do emails and call ins here.

Speaker 6 (01:07:42):
And then we have a segment of Mother's Day shout
outs and Mother's Day shout outs and Deeke, you tell me,
do we want to save Mothers Day shout outs for
when we're on the bus listening to our moms talking, move,
be smooth, do that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:58):
We'll do that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
So we'll just do emails and call ins here and
then we're gonna move it over to the bus because surprise, surprise,
we got some moms coming on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
Yes, we we we you Okay, cool? Uh, let's dive
into some call ins and against six on one the Dads.
You want to call in, leave a voicemail and literally
say whatever you want vent to the boys talk about
Winn's losses. So happy Mother's it doesn't matter whatever your
little heart desire. Six and one the Dads is the
number you call.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
Hey, while we're pulling this up, we've yet to interview
our interns.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
Do we want to do that on the bus? I
say on the bus? Okay, say on the bus.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
We do have a lot of cameras on the bus
and a lot of mics, so that works perfect. That's great.
I'm just thinking.

Speaker 6 (01:08:40):
It went from me telling them they could be on
like we'll bother you for ten minutes tomorrow to now
they're on the four episode, which I love, which we love.
I feel like they love and if they don't love it,
they do love it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
So I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
A couple of goombrets st sixers. Hey, it's just gonna
be like five minutes, man, I would these guys are professionals.
They keep bick the shout out at the top.

Speaker 6 (01:09:05):
The idea was they were going to shout out at
the top and then they were gonna go they.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
Were gonna go do intern things.

Speaker 6 (01:09:11):
But also, I don't again, if I don't really care
what they say, they love being here, they love it that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
That's on me. That's on me. No, Like I'm thinking,
get them shout outs, but in my brain, I'm thinking
they're hanging out for the whole episode.

Speaker 6 (01:09:28):
The goal was to make them fall in love with
the show so much that they would hang out for
the full episode. But it was supposed to start with
intros because we know their names and we know they
kind of know DC, and that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
This is all this is Nick how it's fault because
Nick Alletts said, oh Shurm did the intro. Will was
then like, oh Shurm do the intro, and then sharm
forgot to ask the interns about their moms.

Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
Are the voicemails pulled up?

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
They're pulled out and let's do it. This was Texas
wipey shout.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
Well then you led you just calling in to shout
out the wife.

at Fort Hoods. Yeah, in military wise and in it
obviously as a dad as well.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
We were boy wears dresses. My ball comes up, you kid, mate,
that's some bullshit dude. Emails Yeah, yeah, emails filler. I
have Chris Venetian or Chris Vanessillon. Chris says, hey, guys,

(01:18:18):
I wanted to reach out and give you a big
thank you for the podcast and the incredible community that
you're building. As a dad of two, a three year
old son and a one year old daughter, it's made
a huge impact on my life. It's also helped my
wife and myself as we navigate the ups and downs
of raising two little ones. Growing up, my dad was
an extremely hard worker who carried a lot of stress

(01:18:39):
from providing for our family. He always made sure that
we had what we needed, but he was often overwhelmed
and could always enjoy time at home. Becoming a dad
has always been a dream of mine because I wanted
to give my kids a better experience. I've taken my
dad's work ethic with me, but I've also needed guidance,
especially an under standing that the stress I feel is

(01:19:02):
normal and just a part of being a dad.

Speaker 3 (01:19:04):
Your podcast has become.

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
My go to on Walks with Dog, and I've been
listening consistently for the past six months. The stories you
share and the insights you offer have helped me realize
I'm not alone in these struggles, something that was never
openly talked about when I was growing up. Because of that,
I've become a better dad, husband, and overall person. Lately,

(01:19:27):
I've been more intentional about leaving work stress behind and
being present for the small, meaningful moments rather that's playing
with my kids, watching my son get into golfer basketball,
or seeing my daughter explore the world as she crawls
and starts working towards her first steps. One morning, during
a solo dad Saturday shout out solo Saturdays, I woke

(01:19:49):
up to chaos. My daughter had a diaper blowout overnight,
and my son had a stomach bug and God's sick
all over his room.

Speaker 5 (01:19:56):
Good.

Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
But instead of feeling over well, the only word that
came to mind was good. I just embraced the moment,
knowing that someday I'll look back and I'll laugh, and
I'll even miss days like this. After listening to the
episode about the slide with your daughter, Will, I ended
up taking my kids to the playground the next day.
My son climbed up a ladder on his own more

(01:20:20):
than twenty times. Later, when my wife got there, the
one time she watched, he fell from the top. Instead
of panicking, we pause, talked through how scary it was,
and he climbed right back up on his own. It
was one of those proud dad moments I'll never forget,
and I hope it helps build his confidence moving forward.
I also want to give a huge shout out to

(01:20:40):
my wife. She's the strongest and most incredible mom. I
know she's always there for me and our kids. That's
an amazing example, and somehow keeps everything running smoothly. She
does so much that often goes unnoticed, all while being
my fully present with our All while being fully present
with our family, I wouldn't be growing into the dawn

(01:21:00):
I want to be without her love and support. What
y'all are building with this community is special. It's truly
changing the way I parent and show up in life.
I'm incredibly grateful to this podcast, and I share it
with my wife, my friends, and my children and anyone
I know who is expecting. You've helped normalize the realities

(01:21:21):
of being a dad while reminding us what really matters.
Thank you for giving me the confidence to be a
dad I've always wanted to be, and a dad that
my kids deserve. Appreciate y'all. Chris pet Siko out. Thank you, Chris,
Thank you, Chris.

Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
Wonderful email dude.

Speaker 1 (01:21:38):
Yeah, great storytelling too. Yes, I have one here from
Janelle Lockner email. Hi, guys, I wanted to share a
quick story and shout out my husband Tom. Come on,
he is just returned to work after ten weeks of
paternity to leave this past fall. We welcome to our
baby girl, and we also have a soon to be
three year old son. We don't have much family nearby

(01:21:59):
here in Virginia. Our village is basically just our nanny,
so adjusting to life as a family of four has
been dot dot dot a lot between constant preschool sickness,
a toddler who refuses to sleep in his own bed,
and a very grassy and very vocal baby. We were
both struggling. I'd gone back to work full time and
Tom was home feeling pretty isolated without much of an outlet.

(01:22:22):
Then something shifted. Toward the end of his leave. Tom
started listening to your podcast while mowing the lawn, and
then on the train to work at the gym, even
on a long drive back to New Jersey, and I
realized this was the change. He found something that made
him feel less alone, something that reminded him that we're
not the only ones going through this chaos, and honestly,
it's helped us both get through a lot of really

(01:22:44):
tough seasons. So I just want to say thank you.
You've given my husband an outlet, brought some much needed
laughter into our days, and helped our family more than
you probably realize.

Speaker 3 (01:22:53):
We're so grateful and we'll definitely keep listening. And to
my husband, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
You've showed up every single day with patients, love and
a sense of humor even when we're both running on empty.
You're an incredible dad, and I'm so grateful to be
embracing the love and suck of parenthood together with you.

Writing in a mom writing in on Mother's Day that's
when you know they're an empty siko. Yeah, I got
a quick shout out if you have another email that
you want to jump into. This comes from Wendy Glasgow.
I wanted to read this because I told the guys
before the podcast started, there's a reason that the United
States of America will never be invaded on the ground.

(01:23:37):
It's because of women like Wendy Glassnow, okay, Wendy Glasgow's
you're a four says Milk Team six member here from
southern Oklahoma, mother to a four year old big boy
named Cad, Big Boy, Big Boy.

Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
Three day.

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
As Mother's Day is around, As Mother's Day is around
the corner, I was wondering if you guys could help
about the single mama's out here raising little voice to men.

Speaker 3 (01:24:04):
Any advice of any sorts.

Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
Is greatly appreciated.

Speaker 3 (01:24:07):
Absolutely love the show.

Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
Wendy Glasgow and other single mothers like that make the
world go round. Dude, that's a superhero right there. For
any mothers that are listening. Single moms, Happy Mother's.

Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
Day, Happy Mother's Day. You gotta wear a lot of
different hats too.

Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
Yeah, man, And what a tall order of any advice
for her for her big Bolcaide.

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
I got a quick one here by Dalton Shields. Guys,
big what weekend for me?

Speaker 1 (01:24:37):
My daughter Blake is for and I've been taking her
to a dance every Saturday for six months. Today was
the recital. It was amazing. My girl looked beautiful and
she danced amazingly. Definitely got a little misty in there,
if you know what I mean. The whole squad was
in attendants, mom, dad, dance, uncles, and she shined. The
peak was absolutely. The peak was absolutely when the teachers
pulled all the dads into the back room and asked

(01:24:58):
us you would do anything for your daughters right then
had us put on two two's and due a performance
see the attached pick and vid. Her teachers gifted her
a book which had amazing things written about the energy
she braise a class and what kind of student she is.
Even said she has the best hairstyles. Shout out mom,
Happy Mother's Day. Mom made us feel like we're the
we're on the right track with raising her, and it

(01:25:18):
was like a reward to know the little woman we
are raising and we are raising is making such an
impact on people. Seeing your confidence and love for something
like dance has made me so proud as a dad.
I am so grateful for her and my family. It
has been a blessing raising her, and I can't wait
for more memories and moments like these in the future.

Yeah, drop siko emoji for quick note back to Wendy
because she was asking any advice for her son. I
would say, you have all the power in the world
and the choice to surround Kate with people in his
life that he can look up to, including yourself. Sounds
like you are an absolute stud and just surround him

(01:27:24):
with incredible people and be picky people that he will
want to look up to to model himself after. And
I don't think you can go wrong. In Wendy, it
sounds like he's off to a great start because you're
his mom, You're a stud.

are huge fans of these guys. Ollipop seems to be
a huge fan of FTD because they've come alongside us.
They're sponsoring the show. Our Crack of Cold one segment
is brought brought to us by them. As that said correctly,

(01:30:36):
there's a lot of love back and forth. And so
what Ollipop did that kind of blew our socks off
is they send us two new flavors. They send us
a black cherry Vanilla. They also sent us a Raspberry Sherbert.
Now the Raspberry Sherbert can. When you look at that,
you probably think, ooh, pop Fizz dance Party, Little Bounce

(01:30:56):
rock skate. We got some roller skates and some stereos
going on there.

Speaker 3 (01:31:01):
It tastes like that.

Speaker 2 (01:31:02):
I don't know how to describe it any better than
like it tastes like a little bounce rock skate going
on in your mouth. I think it's pretty perfect, shir
I might have. I'm talking about so much my mouth
is watering. Uh oh, let's see here. Yeah, I mean truly,

(01:31:23):
both of these new flavors, guys, they rip.

Speaker 3 (01:31:27):
Ollipop has been ripping. It's like every single flavor they
put out.

Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
It's not that it's better than the last, but it's
just a new experience that you're getting to taste. And
there's all the health benefits to it as well. There's
the two grams of sugar, there's the six grams of fiber,
there's the thirty calories, there's a non gmo probiotic, you
name it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:51):
It's great for your gut.

Speaker 2 (01:31:52):
And Ollipop is just like this really easy, simple drink
that tastes great. Dude. I don't have to feel guilty
anymore when I crack open a soda because this is
a new kind of soda, dude, where you just don't
feel guilty when you're sipping on it.

She's been a single mom now her and my dad

oldest sister alone and was an amazing mom to her.

(01:37:34):

of our household, like real just has. We'll do anything
through a wall.

Speaker 1 (01:37:43):
What do you say, how old are you?

Speaker 8 (01:37:44):
I'm twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:37:45):
You're twenty, so you're still young in the game. Yeah,
if you can think about it, what would you say
that you look back on and appreciate a lot more
now that you're I mean you're not older, but now
that you're twenty years old that maybe pissed you off
back in the day. So if you get outside yourself,
you've been listening to the for the dads pot as

(01:38:07):
we've recorded all day to day, Like what's something you
think that you're noticing now that you didn't notice back
in the day.

Speaker 8 (01:38:14):
Like you said, the the bragging, the embarrassment you sit there,
You're like, ah, come on, mom, stop it. Stop it.
Now I look back on that and I'm like, wow,
she she was, she is was so proud of me. Yeah,
she still is the team mom for Michigan football, Like
she's she she lives with me during the fall.

Speaker 1 (01:38:33):
Like oh yeah, so she the laundry done.

Speaker 8 (01:38:37):
We have a house in ann Arbor so that she
can live with me during the fall. And it's like,
in the moment you sit there, you go, oh my gosh,
there's no way blah blah blah blah. Now you're just like, man,
so grateful. Yeah, the gratitude, the gratitude never happens. I know.
There's there's a joke like you wish you're in the
you knew when you would be in the good old times. Yeah, yeah,

(01:39:00):
sometimes you wish like in the in the times when
your mom's like embarrassing you, or or you just like,
oh my gosh, you're too much. Sometimes, yeah, those are
the moments you remember.

Speaker 1 (01:39:11):
Yeah, I mean I remember.

Speaker 8 (01:39:12):
I mean she was my best friend, Like I can,
I can genuinely say that my mom's like my closest friend,
like text her every day, call her every day. I
know she was texting during the pod earlier and you
got on me. But I'm always taking my mom over
for the boys.

Speaker 1 (01:39:27):
There you go for the dads.

Speaker 8 (01:39:29):
For the dads, I mean he could be both. I
mean the young the young ones who aren't dads. Yeah,
it's still for the boys.

Speaker 1 (01:39:34):
But yeah, my mom, I feel you that you get
frustrated in those moments where they're just you know, whether
they're around the boys and they're bringing up memories or
moments or you're like, god, please just shut up. Yes,
but now you know it's dude, appreciate him as much
because it's it does more like they are just so proud,
like I'm gonna be that dad, Like you're gonna have
a kid one day and you're just gonna that's when
things are just gonna click, Like you just kind of

(01:39:55):
get the stuff that your parents used to do.

Speaker 8 (01:39:57):
You're just so proud of the so the so little.
It's like you in the moment, you're like, oh, it
wasn't a big deal to you, but it is to them.
Like the steps that you take, whether it's as a
as a young like you say, the preteens are crazy,
those preteens. Yeah, I mean you see your your kid
go from being like a preteen to like a real

(01:40:17):
a real man, and they're like, I can only imagine
what it is from their view. Yeah, because in your
in your life, it's like, dude, it's it's whatever, it's
just my life. It's just what's happened. I just changed
a couple of ideas. That big a deal, really it is.

Speaker 1 (01:40:33):
It's everything to see.

Speaker 8 (01:40:35):
I mean I can't say it from experience, obviously, but
probably seeing your kid become the person that everyone's parents
want them to be better than what they were at
that age, or better than them as they grow up. Man,
I've moved this too much, so I'm gonna have to
tighten this up. But like, just to become better than

(01:40:57):
your parents is the only wish that your parents should
have for you. And I know that's probably exactly what
you have for scott Zilla and Row, like, yeah, to
have your kids become better than you.

Speaker 1 (01:41:09):
And they're always going to see you the way we
see Scarlett Rue scott Zilla like your little toddler version
is how they're just always going to see you.

Speaker 2 (01:41:18):
Oh dude, I was about to say I know nothing
about either one of y'all's moms, but the only thing
I do know is how much truly they love you,
just from the little experience I have of every single
diaper change, every single teaching all how to crawl, teaching
you how to walk, making sure you have enough food
in your belly, like.

Speaker 1 (01:41:37):
Trying to get you to stop whining.

Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
Oh dude, your moms just love you.

Speaker 9 (01:41:43):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (01:41:43):
Yeah, oh Trey, Oh yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:41:49):
Trey Fears defensive tackle in RISS and Michigan shout out
my mom. It's been, like I think, growing up, you
don't realize it, but she is orchestrated in my life
and set my life up in a way to where
if I failed, it would have it would have been
because of me. She's she's done everything for me, Like

(01:42:11):
and I grew up and now I think I think
I'm realizing now is that I'm even more impressed with
how my parents kind of raised me, because like I'm
kind of I'm going into that adult phase and I
couldn't imagine taking care of somebody else right now. Like
I was in my mom was going to school and
I was like in kindergarten and stuff like that. So
I'm doing my work, I'm doing football, and I'm doing this.

(01:42:33):
She was doing that, and she was raising a child.
So I'm just like, shout out, shout out, Kelly.

Speaker 1 (01:42:38):
Shut out. You know.

Speaker 9 (01:42:42):
Growing up, I just think my mom's kind of laying.

Speaker 5 (01:42:46):
Like we all do.

Speaker 1 (01:42:48):
It's like it's kind of natural.

Speaker 9 (01:42:50):
Yeah, she I was like, But now I'm in college.
Now I'm just like talking to my mom when I'm
not living with her, like, you know what, I'll go,
I'll go get a drink of my mom. You know,
got my mom.

Speaker 1 (01:43:00):
You know stuff. Haven't done that, but I would do it. Yeah,
shout out Kelly, Kelly.

Speaker 3 (01:43:09):
Yeah, fellas, that's awesome. Love to hear that stuff. I
loved that.

Speaker 2 (01:43:14):
That was so fun, dude. And they did. I know,
I'm saying it again, but their their moms love them,
Their moms love them. We are very, very lucky to
have people in our lives that are spending all those
little moments. It's the unseen moments. It's the moments that
I can't even remember about my mom, that you can't
remember about your mom, that they were doing the right thing,

(01:43:37):
taking care of you, making sure you have every single
thing was set up for success. It's unreal.

Speaker 1 (01:43:43):
And you also just we know because we're going through
right now. But you realize how hard like parenting and
all of it, marriage, parenting, teamwork, all that stuff is
when you're also doing when you're also chasing the things
that you want to chase, and know that there is
no It's like I was listening to Ryan Nolan talk
about how he crushed a four hour nap on Saturday

(01:44:04):
or Sunday, and I sit back, I'm like, my god,
there's just I do miss those times. Yeah, And you're like, Okay,
I had a long Friday night or a Saturday and
you get to kind of vegi out, you have pockets
to veg out, and there's just there's not that anymore
because you have to like all of your attention has
to be on things at home that also juggle and

(01:44:27):
balance around everything you want to chase in your careers
and your ambitions. And then that there's like a sacrifice
that does take place that you can't necessarily articulate or
like quantify, yeah, until you're like until you're basically just
in it.

Speaker 2 (01:44:42):
Yes, And that was the only part that I can
truly speak to you because I don't have an eight
year old, a twelve year old, a grown ass man,
a grown ass honor I'm so new to it, but
like there is the just like every moment counts. I
feel like in parenting, every little moment, and somebody had

(01:45:02):
to make sure that every single one of those moments
counted for you guys to be able to take advantage
of those moments and be where you are here today.

Speaker 1 (01:45:10):
In the mental load we always talk about with moms
or with parents, where there's a mental load taking place,
like as they're growing up to where we're gonna do it.
We all do it with our kids, Like you're thinking
about their future. They might think they're thinking about their future,
but we as parents are were like, I'm viewing it
in a way that's different than the bullshit, the six seven,
all this stuff that you guys are dancing around with

(01:45:32):
right now, in a different way that's like, you know,
this is longer term thinking that they try to invest
in you and pour into you and imprint on you.
So that way, they're hopeful that you think about it
as much as them. Yeah, but more than your kid
can really understand or realize. Boys, that was great. You
guys can go hang. You guys can go do your thing.

Speaker 3 (01:45:53):
The end, I don't know what's in store for you
guys today.

Speaker 1 (01:45:56):
Intern.

Speaker 3 (01:45:56):
Oh, demon's got something cooked up?

have a cutting that says.

an empty sicco not long after having our boy and
fully embodies the good mentality. She handles nighttime wake ups,
pumping diapers, and a million other things and doesn't complain
about it at all. She makes my fatherhood experience so

our first child, a baby girl named Campbell, this past December.

(01:47:54):
the start of a huge new chapter in our lives.
Bessie Rose has been a rock for our family, adapting
to motherhood and being the type of mother that we
all dream Our empty sixers will be when the day comes.
All that said, I was hoping you can give her
this shout out.

Speaker 3 (01:48:10):
Bessie Rose.

Speaker 2 (01:48:11):
I am in awe of the way that you have
navigated life, from the day that we found out you
were pregnant through this very moment. You embrace pregnancy with
grace and crush delivery with courage, confidence and strength. Your
selflessness and dedication to our family is inspiring, and the
glow of motherhood has never looked better.

Speaker 3 (01:48:30):
Than it does on you.

Speaker 2 (01:48:31):
Campbell is lucky to have you as her mom, and
I cannot wait to watch or learn from the amazing
example that you are setting for her. It goes without saying,
but returning to work and spending time away from Bug
isn't easy. However, you are once again proving that the
way you do anything is the way you do everything
with unrelenting tenacity. I love you and I am so

(01:48:54):

will play on screen. You can put you guys below
it or something of that fashion. IM not gonna speak

Speaker 5 (01:52:32):
Question number one, did your son ever show early signs
that he'd end up on a podcast or in front
of an audience someday?

Speaker 8 (01:52:38):
Well, I think so.

Speaker 7 (01:52:40):
You love to talk.

Speaker 17 (01:52:44):
You talked all the time, very verbal, and then as
you got older, you love.

Speaker 7 (01:52:51):
To watch movies and you would just sit.

Speaker 17 (01:52:54):
And watch like three hour movies, the whole process and
loved it so absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:53:04):
But you loved to talk.

Speaker 6 (01:53:05):
I remember that you were very verbal.

Speaker 7 (01:53:07):
You loved books and you love movies.

Speaker 1 (01:53:10):
So yeah, sounds verbal. Sounds about right.

Speaker 18 (01:53:13):
I didn't know what a podcast was. Derek love being
on stages at a young age. He loved acting, singing,
and entertaining from the time he started talking. My first
experience with a podcast was Derek's podcast Thoughts from the Bench.
I was impressed with his creativity and how fun the
show was was obvious he and the guys had a

(01:53:34):
great deal of joy from doing the show.

Speaker 4 (01:53:37):
It's absolutely yes. Sherman was an entertainer from the very beginning,
and even his birth was.

Speaker 1 (01:53:43):
Like one am now of the Coen Brothers.

Speaker 4 (01:53:45):
Films, and he was in every play and every production
and improv and high school. He wrote and directed a
movie that was shot at our home, which was basically
like a film studio.

Speaker 7 (01:54:00):
Everything in his life has been creative.

Speaker 1 (01:54:04):
Pause.

Speaker 5 (01:54:04):
That's that's question number one, Question number one.

Speaker 1 (01:54:07):
I thought your mom's guys did a phenomenal job breaking
you guys down.

Speaker 2 (01:54:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:54:12):
I like if it was just me sitting with your
guys's moms asking this first question and they were just
answering to me, I feel like every answer that they
had I feel like articulates you guys, like in that fashion,
like you with starting off with chef just a talker,
Like you get caught in a corner with chef, you
talking Tennessee balls, fill in the space, it's spot on,

(01:54:35):
oh d to where as you continue to talk, there's
a smile that comes on my face because I just
now know that it's happening, and I know it's you
with Deeke like creativity, the way that you are able.
I've used the word articulate a lot already, but the
way like Derek is able to articulate, whether in like
a blog writing talking about film. When we were in Pittsburgh,

(01:54:59):
in your taking us around, what was the area called
where you were showing us, Hey, this is where I
did the podcast, is where we do this, you know, Yeah,
you're talking about Monday through Friday, like your grind each
day of the week. I feel like your mom was
able to like encapsulate that to where again, if I'm
just sitting with your mom, it's like this warm smiles
on my face because I'm like, yeah, like this has

(01:55:20):
been you guys, like from the jump, like you having
a film studio and your creativity and production and wanting
to be in film and being in front of cameras
and being part of the play. I feel like that
is Sherman young, Like I am not surprised to hear
these things from your mom like at a young age. Dude.

Speaker 2 (01:55:37):
The also the added note of Chef's setup of like
him being at.

Speaker 3 (01:55:43):
Were you there for the recording?

Speaker 5 (01:55:45):
Eye, So I did the interview.

Speaker 2 (01:55:47):
I love that so much, dude. His mom is so
cute and sweet.

Speaker 1 (01:55:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:55:51):
Video, it was like Lisa was slightly nervous for it,
which like I guess we're all numb to like the
fact that we were on a podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:55:57):
Yeah talk to people.

Speaker 1 (01:55:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:55:58):
I had to remind myself, hey, this is gonna go
out in front of a lot of people. So I
was like, hey, I'll walk you through it. We'll do
it together. I'm excited for you guys to see some
of the other.

Speaker 1 (01:56:07):
Okay, question number two.

Speaker 18 (01:56:16):
What's the most trouble he ever got into as a
kid and did you think he got away with it
as a preschooler? Derek and his best friend called nine
one one and they came art paid fun.

Speaker 7 (01:56:27):
I thought, as well as.

Speaker 18 (01:56:28):
I didn't put money in it, it wouldn't call.

Speaker 15 (01:56:30):
He was to say.

Speaker 18 (01:56:31):
The police showed up and talked on the lesson.

Speaker 17 (01:56:33):
Oh, let's see which one I can. Oh, gosh, I
think the most teenager. I think the most trouble you
got as a teenager that I recall is when we
had to take your little brother to a soccer tournament

(01:56:55):
you were in high school. We let you stay by
yourself for the very first time, and I said, under
no circumstances, you're allowed to have your buddies over, no parties,
no risky business.

Speaker 7 (01:57:08):
I don't know if you remember this, but you were
probably sixteen, maybe.

Speaker 17 (01:57:13):
Fifteen or sixteen, and we let you say, and we said,
your grandma's going to check on you. The neighbors are
going to don't know if you have people over and
you're like, I got it, mom, No, no, my friends
aren't going to come over. And then we came home
that Sunday walked in the garage and like our shoes
were sticking.

Speaker 7 (01:57:34):
You. I'm like, oh, he totally had people over, So
you got busted.

Speaker 1 (01:57:41):
Some beard. Paul went down in their garage.

Speaker 4 (01:57:44):
Most trouble that Sherman ever got into with me was
that he made an a B C D in F
one semester in college and I told him he had
to come home and work construction and that He said, well,
you know that's a C average, right, I mean, people

(01:58:05):
don't send their kid home for a CEA average.

Speaker 7 (01:58:07):
And I was like, yeah, I know, you're coming home.
So he did, and several of them, you know, I
never go back to college, and I was like, no,
he's going back to college.

Speaker 4 (01:58:16):
He's going to get a college degree, but he's going
to come home and work and appreciate it. And so
he did, and it ended up being like one of
the most wonderful experience and all the people he worked with,
it was really really a cool experience.

Speaker 1 (01:58:31):
Oh that was all three Yeah, that's all. There's the
routine in my head an and F and you're saying that.

Speaker 2 (01:58:40):
C average, but also it was a it was a
point eight average. So that's just a bold face lie
of saying it was a cea average. I was trying
to pull one over on my mom.

Speaker 1 (01:58:54):
How ruda was the construction.

Speaker 3 (01:58:57):
I mean it was very hard because my dad's friend.

Speaker 2 (01:59:02):
Owned a remodeling business, basically said, Hey, my wife is
wanting to put my son in construction. I know you
own this remodeling business, blah blah. He was like, I
got a crew I could put him on tomorrow, And
my dad basically told him kick his ass, like fully
kick his ass. And my very, my very first day,

(01:59:27):
the Keith Horton, who has since passed, but I truly
Keith Horton is like up there with my dad and
some other men that I like, highly regard of, like
huge life lessons learned, shakes my hand when I show up,
gives me this whole rundown, which I find out later
is complete bullshit of about something in the yard that

(01:59:50):
they got to redo. Yeah, and he says, I need
you to dig up this entire trench and we're talking
like thirty feet of like at least seven feet into
the ground. I need you to dig it all up.
And it took me two days to do that. And
once I was done, Keith was like, hey, homeowners, they
changed their mind, so we actually we need all that

(02:00:11):
back back in that trench of kind of like letting
me know, like, hey, you ain't this ain't summer camp,
like welcome, welcome to the ship. Yeah, we just gave
you a job that didn't even exist to like really
kick your oh, dude. And it was like that for
the first three weeks. And then once I like was
showing them a attitude of like, hey, I'm not going

(02:00:33):
to quit, I'm happy to be here and I'm going
to have a good attitude about it and stuff, they
quickly started putting me on more and more jobs and
giving me more and more like actual responsibility. And it
ended up being so sick, and it made me appreciate
college that much more. Like I went back, I didn't
make a blow of b average after construction. GPA was

(02:00:54):
already screwed from the point eight that brought home. But
this was but the lesson was good, lesson was learned,
lesson was awesome, and that all came from Miss Amy.
She was like my dad was trying to think of
some kind of way to kind of, you know, teach
me a lesson. Blah blah blah. Miss Amy was like,
you pull his ass out of school right now. He's
not getting away with this shit and that thank you mom.

Speaker 1 (02:01:17):
Dude, Shout out your mom. Shout out your mom. I
remember one time I was like, in uh, fifth or
sixth grade, and I what do they call progress reports?
Like the midterm report card whatever it was?

Speaker 5 (02:01:28):
Ya ruh.

Speaker 1 (02:01:29):
This was like a progress report, so not the full
report card? Yes, And I had gotten I believe a
D in AR reading. So in AR reading, you would
have to read you know, books around like your whatever
grade level you were at, yep. And then you after
you read the AR book, you would go and take
an AR test.

Speaker 2 (02:01:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:01:46):
And if you test it well, like you pass whatever
it is, get over a seven out of ten or
something like that. And I was doing very poorly in
ARI because I hated reading growing up, Like I was
not a big reader. I hated English. I hated reading.
And I remember being in the middle of a football
practice played for the Panthers. But my mom came in
the middle during football practice and pulled me from practice

(02:02:11):
and then told my coach, and make sure to say
it in front of me, if he's going to fail
in school, like, he's not going to play football, because
I know he loves like I know he loves football.
I know this is what he has the most fun doing. Yeah,
if he doesn't make good grades, like, he's not going
to play football. And she took my ass home and
I was basically was like, if you don't get your
shit turned around or go to your teacher and ask
questions about how you can lift it up, knowing that

(02:02:32):
it was a progress report.

Speaker 3 (02:02:33):
Yeah, yeah, that you're.

Speaker 1 (02:02:35):
Listening, you're not playing football. If you're not going to
take school serious, you're not going to take this other
stuff serious. God damn, it's like those little lessons like
I enjoy hearing that.

Speaker 2 (02:02:44):
It's gonna be hard for us to do that one day.
Yeah you know what I mean, Like I think about
that with Scarlett already. I'm like, I have to keep
that mentality that my mom did not budge on punishments.
Once it came out of her mouth, that was God
might as well have said it. God might as well
have said it, because that that's what was gonna happen

(02:03:05):
The nine on one call is so funny.

Speaker 6 (02:03:08):
I remember at vividly because it was my childhood buddy
and we were at a kmart and our moms were
in there. I forget why, but they were taking forever
and so we were dialing like fake numbers on the
payphone because you obviously got to put money in it.
And I was so young that I used. I was
still going to like Safety Town at this point, and
so I called in and we would just be like,
oh my gosh, god Zilla has attacking this kmart and
hang up. And then cops came and they're like, is

(02:03:29):
there an emergency? And I was like, no, no, my
mom's like oh, officerly like and told him and the
cops like we could take you to jail, kid, and
like obviously handed it up for the next year. At
Safety Town, which I used to go, and you learn
about crossing the street and like they have these little
cars you can pedal in these bikes, Like it was

(02:03:50):
so much fun. I had to sit there and explain
to the whole class the safety terribleness of what I've
done basically. Oh, and so I had to explain to
the whole class that I called nine on one and
they can come. And I basically said to the class,
you don't got to put money in those phones. They
work like those phones work, and do not put money
on them. You call whatever you want to call, and
call the cops. And I was like I left it

(02:04:11):
being like that's not exactly the message I wanted to say, yeah, yeah,
yeah at that.

Speaker 1 (02:04:15):
Point, Yeah, that's so fun. I remember pulling a prank
on my mom. I saw a cop like driving by,
or we were around a cop, like when we were
driving home, and I remember pulling a prank of like
I was like leaning out the window and I was.

Speaker 6 (02:04:29):
Like help, yeah, well yeah, get you taken away.

Speaker 1 (02:04:38):
And so we get pulled over whatever. Like my mom
was hitting me, but I'm I'm joking.

Speaker 2 (02:04:45):
Once the cop came, you were still going.

Speaker 1 (02:04:48):
Well, and like the cop was aware of what was
going on, and you know, my mom was like trying
to handle it, and like you know when the cop
when the cop left, she's give me a very stern
talking to you about like not that way, and I didn't, like,
I'm just trying to be like funny.

Speaker 2 (02:05:02):
How old are you?

Speaker 1 (02:05:04):
Uh, probably like ten or eleven? Too young? Just young?

Speaker 2 (02:05:09):
Hey, don't sleep on the fact that chef had the
boys over for a little for a little booze hour.

Speaker 5 (02:05:15):
And yes, bro, it was full risky business the next
day and I was like, I'm so fucked too. It's
just maybe it took mom and dad maybe twenty minutes
before my dad was like, I know, I know what happened.
He I got a shitload of trouble for that.

Speaker 2 (02:05:31):
How many guys do you have over?

Speaker 5 (02:05:32):
I think it was like ten to twelve people.

Speaker 2 (02:05:34):
That's a pretty good party.

Speaker 1 (02:05:36):
He's a pretty good party.

Speaker 2 (02:05:37):
That's a pretty good party.

Speaker 1 (02:05:38):
So funny that we all have those stories like that.
Coddy was at a wrestling tournament and I threw a
party back home because I was wrestling JV at the time,
like I was doing JV first because it was like
the year where I was either grounded or I had
to wrestle.

Speaker 3 (02:05:52):
So first tournament, varsity's going varsity.

Speaker 1 (02:05:54):
They're gonna like make an example, Like I have to
earn my way to VARs to be on the varsity roster.
So I had to be on the bus the next
morning at like five or six am to do like
this three hour bus ride to jeff City. Oh god,
And I threw a party at the house where I
had like ten twelve people over and we got so hammered.
Bro oh god to where like somebody gets like taking home,

(02:06:17):
they're like puking in the side. They're like dropping me
off of the thing, and I'm just hung over and
I'm just hoping that my boys logan John oh, they
have to clean up, yeah, cleaning up my house and
making sure stuff's in order. But my parents come home
and there's like a we were fucking. This is when
forty year old virgin was hot, and so somebody had

(02:06:39):
a condom like on their hand doing like I am
Aquaman and it was just out and that's what got us, Logan,
we got that's what got us. When I got back
from that JV wrestling tournament. By the way, I won
the wrestling tournament. Didn't get scored on at the JV
wrestling tournament. We'll come back and then like we're getting

(02:06:59):
you know, you know, yeah, yeah, it was not good.
It was not good. In another prank, like the nine
one one, a car was gonna pull out. We were
on a stop sign. I was like myudd look out
and she like slams on the brakes and there was
no car I was like, I'm just kidding, dude. She
fucking I was like, mo b look god no, I

(02:07:20):
started laughing. I'm like, oh, there's no car. She reaches
backhands with me.

Speaker 7 (02:07:23):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (02:07:25):
I'm bleeding mouth. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, because I'm
I was like a little like a middle a little
menace in my own right.

Speaker 2 (02:07:35):
Yeah, I'm shocked at My mom also didn't tell this
story because this is the most match she's ever been
at me. One of my little movies that I was
standing was a Russian terrorist uh film where we had
I got my three friends that were the only three
friends with black like SUVs, and we had people standing

(02:07:55):
out of windows and stuff on this back road in Alito,
Texas and a train is coming because there's a train
tracks that go through the city of Aledo. And I
tell everybody, we have speakerphones going through all three vehicles,
and I'm directing it from the front vehicle and I'm
shooting the whole thing, and I say, production value, we
got a train come in. You guys act like you're

(02:08:17):
shooting at the train. Union Pacific gets on the phone
because the guy driving the train calls it in because
all he sees is guys in ski masks with huge
fake airsoft guns that we spray painted like assault type weapons,
and we're driving this way, trains coming this way and
they're going to the train. So that guy's probably like

(02:08:41):
what the fuck? And Bro and I didn't even know
they exist. It is a f five point fifty and
it's just a massive pickup truck with train wheels there
inside of the street wheels so it can drive on
the tracks. Is flying down the railroad with lights on
because we stopped there and we're like shooting something like

(02:09:02):
eight police cards end up coming. Dude, it was a
whole thing. I do not know how we didn't go
to jail, I truly don't. But we had the camera
and we're like, we're shooting this movie blah blah blah.
But my mom I wasn't allowed to do anything for
like three months, Like I was grounded, grounded for three months.

Speaker 6 (02:09:20):
Oh, saying it's an indie film had to be so embarrassing.
There's this train robbery coming and the cops get there.

Speaker 2 (02:09:27):
You with an indie film, just a bunch of sixteen
and seventeen year olds, crazy, shut up moms.

Speaker 5 (02:09:34):
Question, Shut up moms.

Speaker 1 (02:09:35):
Question three. I said the twenty minute time.

Speaker 3 (02:09:38):
That was just going off two questions at okay.

Speaker 1 (02:09:47):
Time out go we can't, we can't well, no audio,
are you saying the question?

Speaker 8 (02:09:51):
No?

Speaker 7 (02:09:53):
What was the moment raising him that he did not
appreciate at the time.

Speaker 4 (02:09:58):
It's just tragic flaw Sherman is a mess and it
was not funny then, and it's.

Speaker 7 (02:10:06):
Not funny now, and you can ask Jill and she
will bat me up on this.

Speaker 8 (02:10:11):
It's bad.

Speaker 18 (02:10:12):
We had an old recliner with a broken armress that
the end could be removed. Inside there was a very
large Can we.

Speaker 3 (02:10:19):
Go back, Let's just start the whole clip over because
it's like delayed.

Speaker 7 (02:10:30):
What was a moment raising him that you did not
appreciate at the time.

Speaker 4 (02:10:36):
It's his tragic faw Sherman is a mess and it
was not funny then, and it's.

Speaker 7 (02:10:44):
Not funny now. And you can ask Jill and she
will bat me up on this. It's bad.

Speaker 18 (02:10:50):
We had an old recliner with a broken armrest that
the end could be removed inside there was a very
large now it stuck straight out if you pulled off
the end of the arm One day, Derek's brother Nica,
made him mad and he grabbed that arm with the
large nail sticking out, and ran through the house after
his brother. Luckily we were able to stop him before

(02:11:11):
he inflicted it.

Speaker 6 (02:11:13):
I think when I.

Speaker 17 (02:11:14):
Look back, when you were younger, you were very inquisitive.

Speaker 7 (02:11:18):
You were you talked a lot, all right, was good?

Speaker 17 (02:11:27):
Been a little stubborn and bullheaded because you like to
debate with people.

Speaker 7 (02:11:34):
That's was probably a good thing. That's a good thing.

Speaker 4 (02:11:38):
One.

Speaker 7 (02:11:43):
Did you get that from your uncle John?

Speaker 1 (02:11:46):
From your uncle John, you're stubborn. Get that from your
uncle John.

Speaker 2 (02:11:50):
I believe he talked a lot, all right.

Speaker 1 (02:11:55):
I think that's a good thing. Was gonna laugh at day,
stubborn and bullet you're gonna get you get that from
your uncle John.

Speaker 5 (02:12:00):
Oh my god, I do get that from uncle John.

Speaker 1 (02:12:02):
We know we heard hey, we heard.

Speaker 2 (02:12:06):
Sorry. That made me laugh so hard I farted And
it does not smell that God, that was funny. Should
we should we just do you swell it?

Speaker 3 (02:12:15):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (02:12:15):
Good?

Speaker 2 (02:12:16):
Do we want to just keep on ripping through.

Speaker 1 (02:12:18):
Let's let's just rip.

Speaker 6 (02:12:21):
I don't get hurt.

Speaker 1 (02:12:22):
Didn't hurt anyone. You were you're looking at my dad's
like Michael Myers running around with the nail.

Speaker 6 (02:12:27):
I was chasing my brother with the nail arm and
he just goes Marsha and she was following third behind.
Oh my god, what's something he did as a little
kid that he'd probably be embarrassed you talk about on
a podcast.

Speaker 19 (02:12:43):
Oh boy, oh gosh, as a little boy embarrassed.

Speaker 7 (02:12:52):
Oh. The one thing that comes to my mind is
when we were at Mass on Sunday we all went
to Mass. Grant was a baby.

Speaker 17 (02:13:01):
We had just moved back from Dallas, so you were
probably three, and that you were three and a half.

Speaker 7 (02:13:06):
It was before you turned four.

Speaker 5 (02:13:08):
We were in Mass.

Speaker 7 (02:13:09):
You were a little rambunctious.

Speaker 20 (02:13:11):
Your dad took you outside.

Speaker 17 (02:13:15):
And the way that our lady of the lake do
you I don't know if you remember this, that the
wind there was just glass windows.

Speaker 7 (02:13:22):
And the priest can see out.

Speaker 17 (02:13:25):
And apparently your dad turned around for just a few seconds.

Speaker 7 (02:13:29):
You had to go to the bathroom and didn't.

Speaker 17 (02:13:31):
Tell your dad, and you started to pee in the
floor bed and and well the priest could see you.
We were a little mortified.

Speaker 7 (02:13:46):
That.

Speaker 1 (02:13:48):
That's a good funny one. Yeah, it's a good funny one.

Speaker 18 (02:13:52):
It is literally impossible to embarrass Derek. He won't be
embarrassed at all by this. But once Derek and Niko
were playing with the two little girls across the street
when they all were preschool aged, they all pulled their
pants down around their ankles and peede in the yard together.

Speaker 1 (02:14:08):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (02:14:09):
My mom skipped this one, by the way. I don't
know if that was intentral or not.

Speaker 1 (02:14:14):
Who knows, man, I know.

Speaker 3 (02:14:15):
I mean, at least you guys have some fun peace stories.

Speaker 1 (02:14:18):
Like my mom was talking, she just soiled me on
how I went the bed, like very consistently. I was
gonna endo my teenage years.

Speaker 2 (02:14:26):
I've told you that it was a big, big bed
weather as well, right big, not as long, but I'm
probably six years old, but I was a lightly Yeah
that's light work, but I just wanted to, like be
verse four, she just.

Speaker 1 (02:14:39):
Beat the bed, but like six, it's I'm not. I
wouldn't think nothing of that. You try again, you beat
your at your buddy's house and with anxiety going to sleep,
like god, I hope I don't piss.

Speaker 2 (02:14:51):
The bed, breaking into their washer and dryer room to
go to pre clean before anybody wakes up.

Speaker 1 (02:14:58):
Yeah, I was. I was up early, trying to well
get rid of the evidence sleeping on your buddy's floor
and you just piss on the floor like bro oh.

Speaker 3 (02:15:09):
And then when you when you know they know that
you pissed the bed, and it's like, you know, god,
oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (02:15:22):
Question number five, what was a moment raising him where
you thought, Okay, he's gonna be all right. I knew
he was going to be more than all right from
the get go. He was just always been the biggest
blessing in my life and.

Speaker 7 (02:15:36):
Just full of joy.

Speaker 4 (02:15:37):
And it was just a blessing to raise him and
to see him become such a sweet, fun, consistent, loving
dad to Scarlet and making her belly laugh and just
planning fun things to her all the time.

Speaker 7 (02:15:55):
It just blows me away to see the dad that
he has become.

Speaker 1 (02:16:00):
Not a moment time out.

Speaker 4 (02:16:04):
So question number five, what was the moment raising him
where you thought, Okay, he's gonna be all right.

Speaker 7 (02:16:10):
I knew he was going to be more than all right.

Speaker 1 (02:16:15):
So your mom knew you were going to be more
than al right from the get go. Then at the
very end, I don't know if you guys heard it,
it blows her mind of.

Speaker 2 (02:16:26):
What a what an incredible dad.

Speaker 1 (02:16:28):
I beg yeah, yeah, yeah, blows her mind.

Speaker 2 (02:16:31):
Surprised, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (02:16:33):
She kind of go away. I'm surprised.

Speaker 2 (02:16:38):
Blows my mom.

Speaker 1 (02:16:39):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Your mom loves you.

Speaker 6 (02:16:42):
She does.

Speaker 1 (02:16:43):
Your mama loves you, she does, all right, keep going.

Speaker 7 (02:16:48):
Question number five.

Speaker 14 (02:16:53):
Not a moment.

Speaker 18 (02:16:54):
There were many moments Derry going off and discuss things
with me, and we were fortunate to be able to mess.
We let him make decisions for himself. He discussed things
with us, but usually came to decisions on his own.
We learned pretty early he was thoughtful in his decisions,
and we felt confident in letting him do.

Speaker 7 (02:17:11):
That well in college.

Speaker 1 (02:17:13):
Thoughtful keyword.

Speaker 7 (02:17:15):
You had a sophomore year in college and.

Speaker 6 (02:17:20):
You turned it around.

Speaker 17 (02:17:21):
We had to come to Jesus meeting at the end
of that sophomore.

Speaker 7 (02:17:24):
Year, and you turned it around your junior year.

Speaker 1 (02:17:27):
And I'll never forget few years ago.

Speaker 17 (02:17:30):
On a trip I was going with him, like on
a business trip, and we were in the airplane getting
ready to take off, and there was a.

Speaker 20 (02:17:37):
Notification from UT and you had made the Dean's list
and that we had a rough winter. If you recall,
that was a rough venture we had a lot of
things going on, and I just remember I saw that
and I.

Speaker 17 (02:17:54):
Looked at your dad and I said, I think he's
going to be Okay, he's going to be.

Speaker 2 (02:18:00):
Four years you changed.

Speaker 7 (02:18:02):
It was a It was a great thing when you change.

Speaker 2 (02:18:04):
The chef's mob is undefeated.

Speaker 1 (02:18:06):
Yes, broad defeated, dude making the Deans lists. I think
he's gonna be all right.

Speaker 5 (02:18:15):
If that me during that time, you probably it's actually
it would make a lot more sense.

Speaker 1 (02:18:20):
Oh, I believe. I believe your mom. Dude.

Speaker 5 (02:18:22):
Yeah, yes, solid for you. I said it in there too,
I said, yeah, solid four years ago.

Speaker 2 (02:18:27):
There's one coming up with my mom that I alluded
to earlier in the show. Yeah, I will be very
embarrassed by.

Speaker 6 (02:18:36):
Yeah, what's the one piece of advice you gave him
that you actually think stuck?

Speaker 17 (02:18:46):
I think I instilled in you and your brother from
an early age of education.

Speaker 19 (02:18:52):
Was very important and just to keep pushing through that
there's gonna be Yeah, it's gonna be peaks and valleys, it's.

Speaker 1 (02:19:02):
Gonna be winters, it's gonna be hard times, but you
just push through and work hard.

Speaker 6 (02:19:09):
But nothing can beat that.

Speaker 2 (02:19:10):
Having that education you did always harp that one.

Speaker 18 (02:19:14):
Yeah, I love here and four oh one K and
put money in it.

Speaker 1 (02:19:23):
Smooth, smooth, smooth.

Speaker 3 (02:19:24):
I love Derek Zerk has zero motion on his face.
He just nod said, I don't.

Speaker 6 (02:19:29):
Have headphones on.

Speaker 1 (02:19:31):
Oh that's right, Oh, ship, that makes much more sense.
I've watched them all this morning, but like, yeah, she's
got just like a three second answer put money in
the four one K And I just look back at
you and you're just still looking down at the computer.

Speaker 18 (02:19:56):
How would you describe him as a dad? And does
it surprise you?

Speaker 1 (02:19:58):
Time out? Time out? Time out? Did your mom have
a video on that one?

Speaker 7 (02:20:02):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:20:03):
Did she not do one for that one?

Speaker 2 (02:20:04):
I guess not.

Speaker 1 (02:20:04):
Well one in the morning at the again.

Speaker 2 (02:20:06):
I was about to say, because I saw how long
that video was the last one. Yeah, this is how
like she sent them through so in her self, reception
at her okay, got your house is terrible. So now
I'm thinking through and I'm like, ah, shit, like maybe
it's all good. Do you remember the advice I actually wrote?

Speaker 1 (02:20:27):
How about you? You could answer that?

Speaker 2 (02:20:28):
Okay, I wrote a little thing that I can read
at the end that's like a quick little letter to
my mom and Jill and the one thing that my
mom always hammered into me is never ever quit. She
was big on that, like, do not put your head down,

(02:20:49):
do not sulk, do not quit, You power through. If
you say you're going to do something, you stick to it.
And she was just huge on that, dude, And I
like that is one lesson that's still to this day
at thirty two years old, I can be like my
mom was always saying, no, you told those people that
you were going to be at that thing, you go

(02:21:09):
to that thing if you told them that, Mike, And
still to this day, Yeah, love it.

Speaker 1 (02:21:17):
Now it's seven.

Speaker 18 (02:21:20):
How would you describe him as a dad and does
it surprise you at all? He expects good behavior from
his dog being, but is also loving with him, so
that's promising. Great uncle. The kids always loves saying around him.
He was always has always loved kids, so it's not
surprising at all.

Speaker 4 (02:21:39):
The next question about how I see him as a
dad and does it surprise me, No, it doesn't surprise
me at all that he is an amazing dad and
so loving and fun and funny and consistent and keeps
her on schedule and Jill is leading the ship.

Speaker 7 (02:21:59):
On that is the most amazing mom. But it's so
sweet to see them. I'm gonna cry. It's so sweet
to see them as a team raising her with so
much luck.

Speaker 1 (02:22:11):
Thank you mom.

Speaker 3 (02:22:13):
Oh, I would have loved to hear Chef's mom break down.

Speaker 2 (02:22:18):
What kind of dad?

Speaker 5 (02:22:20):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't know the way the question was worded.
I just assumed that one was for you, Sherm, So
I just said, hey, we'll just move past.

Speaker 6 (02:22:27):
This improper wording on my part.

Speaker 2 (02:22:30):
No, this is something that I would.

Speaker 7 (02:22:37):
Want y'all to know about Sherman. And Sherman is just
like the most badass athlete. He is excelled in sports
his whole life, and he just had all these His life.

Speaker 4 (02:22:54):
Has kind of been like Forrest Gump, where all these
things happen that just don't happen to other people. But
he was asked in high school to on the Dallas
Cowboy field to come kick a field goal. He never.

Speaker 7 (02:23:12):
Practice kicking a filg.

Speaker 4 (02:23:13):
On his life, and he had on Van Tenny shoes
and he nailed it and won a big check for
his high school.

Speaker 7 (02:23:21):
So anything, he's like, maham, I'm gonna do a standing
back flip at the beach in the thick sand and
just nailed it first time. So anything, he always has
excelled at sports.

Speaker 18 (02:23:37):
On the podcast, he's funny, creative and takes responsibility for
his work. But as chill as he seems, you'd never
guess he is deathly afraid of spiders.

Speaker 1 (02:23:47):
Oh spiders.

Speaker 17 (02:23:48):
Know if your colleagues know that your grandfather was a
football coach, was a high school football coach for years,
very passionate about football. And I know that he's looking
down right now and smiling and so happy for you
and so exciting because he was just.

Speaker 7 (02:24:10):
Passionate about football. This high school, college professional, a Notre Dame,
Notre Dame.

Speaker 1 (02:24:19):
What kind of football coach was he? You can get
the real answer.

Speaker 7 (02:24:25):
Oh, he was tough. He was tough.

Speaker 17 (02:24:29):
Grabow gym, Midwesterner, Irish Catholic background.

Speaker 12 (02:24:35):
I mean I was.

Speaker 7 (02:24:36):
I mean, that was my daddy And I was like,
he was tough. He was tough. You just did not
but he was. But the kids loved him, do you know?

Speaker 2 (02:24:45):
He was mean and ship the kids loved him.

Speaker 17 (02:24:48):
His pastings came to his funeral and we're like, we
loved your dad.

Speaker 7 (02:24:52):
He was so hard, he was so tough, but he
was just he was kind of like a big teddy
bear too.

Speaker 1 (02:24:57):
They loved you.

Speaker 7 (02:24:59):
I know he's looking Jet, Bro.

Speaker 2 (02:25:04):
We need a camera in the handing household. Borrow, dude.

Speaker 1 (02:25:09):
Oh, I know he's looking down on Jet.

Speaker 2 (02:25:13):
I was so bad that we had all been in
person deep for these interviews with our moms. Their little
energy is unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (02:25:23):
I my entire childhood up until I moved to Nashville,
was in a rachnophobe to like a like a bad degree,
like a very bad like couldn't be like if I
knew they were there, but like it touched me, feel
me insects. Anything's like to a degree where I would
fight people for trying to put spiders. Oh, oh shit,
bad bro, I've gotten. It's funny to see my mom
like have these things. Because she brought up something to

(02:25:45):
Kat the other day. She's like, oh, he's a snooper
because she's hid in her wedding dress. I'm like, honestly, Mom,
I've changed a little bit, which is fun to like
explain to her who I am now, because like, spiders
don't freak me out as much. I ain't gonna touch them,
like they're not there.

Speaker 1 (02:25:56):
We can't let we can't let Taylor know these things.

Speaker 6 (02:25:59):
No, how him flat out because I'm again, I'm overcoming
these fears. But if you guys could not tell him.

Speaker 1 (02:26:04):
That'd be cool.

Speaker 2 (02:26:07):
I loved her answer too, because of something that I
would never imagine of Deeke, truly, a fear of insects,
a fear of something like that. I would never think that,
for you, Will has stepped off someone.

Speaker 6 (02:26:23):
Ever leave this set of a show due to the
fact that I don't know what he's gonna bring back.

Speaker 2 (02:26:27):
Oh, he's got something good, He's got something very good.
But I would never imagine.

Speaker 6 (02:26:35):
Okay, well I thought you were going to get you
Just look.

Speaker 2 (02:26:39):
Where's going to little eight legged freaks?

Speaker 6 (02:26:42):
All right? Two more boys? If you can go back
and tell yourself one due at the very beginning of motherhood,
what would it be.

Speaker 19 (02:26:51):
Don't sweat the small stuff, like, don't get anxious and
uptight at the little things.

Speaker 7 (02:26:58):
Just take it all in and.

Speaker 17 (02:27:02):
Don't get so tight at the small things, is what
I would.

Speaker 7 (02:27:06):
Probably have to say.

Speaker 1 (02:27:10):
It's really good advice.

Speaker 4 (02:27:12):
Yes, If I could go back and tell myself one thing,
it would be to document more and write down. I
did write down a lot of funny things they said
and did, and kept a record of things that happened.

Speaker 7 (02:27:26):
But I wish that I had done more.

Speaker 4 (02:27:28):
I wish that I had journaled every single day things
that were happening, because they were.

Speaker 7 (02:27:33):
Those moments are just so precious.

Speaker 18 (02:27:36):
If you could go back and tell yourself one thing
at the very beginning of motherhood, what would it be?
Everyone always said time flies, and I believe them, but
boy does it fly. I try to be present with
my kids as much as possible. I would probably say,
don't worry so much. They're going to be great human beings.

Speaker 1 (02:27:56):
Damn, that's awesome. I love that.

Speaker 3 (02:28:00):
And last time, the moms are ripping, they are, they're cooking.

Speaker 18 (02:28:06):
What does being a mom actually mean to you? Not
the highlight, real version, the real answer. I always knew
my mom was here for me no matter what. I
want my sons to know, I am here for them always,
every day. Anytime.

Speaker 7 (02:28:21):
I love you, Derek, it means everything. It was the
thing I declared the first week of college. You know,
that's what I want to be. I want to be
a mom. I wanted to be the kind of mom
that I had, and I think that's what.

Speaker 4 (02:28:42):
Inspired me just to she was a teacher and she
was so patient and kind and fun and funny, and
I wanted to pass that down to my sons. And
I don't have any regrets when it comes to that
department of my life.

Speaker 7 (02:28:58):
And I just enjoyed every minute of it. And it's
so rewarding to.

Speaker 4 (02:29:05):
See it now Sherman being the dad that he is,
that those the little things that we did, that he's
passing them down and.

Speaker 7 (02:29:15):
It's just really sweet. So thank y'all for letting me
share with y'all, and Happy Mother's Day everybody.

Speaker 19 (02:29:22):
I think unconditional love, having unconditional love, and just trying
to be their biggest supporter through the good times and
the bad times, especially through the hard times and bad times,
and just try to be the.

Speaker 7 (02:29:36):
Best support person for.

Speaker 6 (02:29:41):
Your your child.

Speaker 7 (02:29:43):
And unconditional love. I think that's the best advice.

Speaker 1 (02:29:50):

miss mine a lot, but it's very cool to hear

Speaker 3 (02:31:24):
I wanted to write a little something to my mom.

Speaker 2 (02:31:26):
And to my Wifey. Dear Mom, thank you for absolutely everything.
Thank you for all the packed lunches, the backscratches, and
the no video games for a month punishments that you
didn't budget intron you etched in stone a never ever
quit mentality for me that shapes me to this day.
Thank you for pouring into me, shoving a camera in

(02:31:47):
my hands and telling me at eight that I could
go make a movie in the backyard if I set
my mind to it. Thank you for always being my props,
wardrobe and locations manager and director on every little thing
that I shot at the house. Most importantly, thank you,
Thank you for showing me what an incredible woman slash
mother looks like. Thank you for showing the same love
you have for me to my wife and now my

(02:32:09):
child Scarlet. The whole world could think that I'll fail,
and I know that my day, one cheerleader will be
in my corner with a rousing speech and it don't
quit attitude. I love you, Mom. Dear Jilly Bean, it's
your first official mother today. Happy Mother's to Day, Jilly Bean.

(02:32:31):
Your mom set a path in a standard with how
she raised you that I know feels daunting at times,
but you answer the bell every day when I'm too tired.
You're a spark plug. When I want to quit, you
urge me to keep pushing, and when I half ask
it at home, you call me out. And every bit

(02:32:51):
of that has set me now on a path of
fatherhood that I can look back on and forward to
and be proud of. I have zero worries of the
woman and our darling daughter will grow to be. She
now has an amazing mother just like you did, that
will hold a standard and show her a path that
one day will seem daunting to her. But I know,
just like you, that she will answer the bell. I

(02:33:13):
love you.

Speaker 3 (02:33:13):
Happy Mother's Day.

Speaker 1 (02:33:15):
Beautifully said bro. Thank you well written.

Speaker 1 (02:33:26):
I know you're listening to this.

Speaker 5 (02:33:27):
I love you so much. I loved what you said
about the unconditional part. I've put you through all there's
so much hell, and you've been there every single step
of the way, through all the really really bad and
all the really really good, and so just know it
means a lot. Love you so much.

Speaker 1 (02:33:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:33:45):
I mean, my mom's awesome. She's my best friend. I
miss her every day. I call her every day, thank
you for everything. It's been so hard down here without family,
and at the same time like talking to her and
being chill with her. It's such a beautiful relationship. Through
Trace said like he loves to get a drink with
his to get a drink with his mom. Like drink
with my mom is the best thing ever. I get

(02:34:05):
ripped so hard cracking a bottle of wine. I love
them and I wouldn't be here without you. And if
the world had our moms, it'd be a better place.
It's really cool to be on the show with moms
that rip as hard as the kids do.

Speaker 1 (02:34:19):
So love you. Yeah, Happy Mother's Day.

Speaker 13 (02:34:25):
To my mom.

Speaker 1 (02:34:26):
I the way that you parented me growing up helped
me articulate and kind of curate the type of parent
and dad that I want to be with my daughters.
And just again like it wasn't always easy in our household,

(02:34:50):
but the toughness, resilience, intentionality, being fierce and just fucking
doing the work at all times running on e I
realized that now way more than I did when it
was happening. I miss you dearly, and you would have
been a You would have been an incredible grandmother. I

(02:35:12):
know you were so excited. I miss all the ship
man and happy Mother's Day. I always had this running
joke like it would be Mother's Day, we'd go out
to eat, and I would just always make the joke
when the time comes, I'm going to put you in
the home.

Speaker 13 (02:35:28):
And uh.

Speaker 3 (02:35:29):
I wish I could still say those things to you,
and UH to my wife.

Speaker 1 (02:35:33):
Charle, you are You're everything. Adventure, communication are areas where
I feel like I have uncomfortably grown in because of you.
Because you love to see the world, you love to travel.
You were the first one to get me to do
a vacation longer than four days, and to plan and

(02:35:57):
to think ahead. And you teach me so many things
that in the moment are very hard for myself because
of how I've been, how I've been conditioned in my
own right, just as a as a man, and even communication,
like hard conversations, the highs and lows, being there when

(02:36:18):
I fall, sitting and shit with me, teaching me how
to communicate. It's helped me. The way that you have
loved me resembles that it's been the most love I've
ever really felt since my mom, and it's helped me
love other people because I see the way you love me,

(02:36:40):
the way you love our girls, the way you love
the people in your life has helped me become a
much better version of myself. And I know I am
far from perfect and feel very undeserving at times for
your love, but everything that both of these women have
collectively taught me, I love you, guys, and Happy Mother's Day,

(02:37:06):
and I promise I will find a way to get
us this picnic because charl loves going on picnics during
Mother's Day. We don't get to because we were driving
back from Missouri this weekend. But yeah, man, Happy Mother's
Day to all of the moms. The work that goes unseen,
that is invisible, that has not felt in the moment,

(02:37:27):
and when perspective hits us all, we all realize how
much you guys all mean to us and how grateful
we all we all are for you guys.

Speaker 3 (02:37:35):
