that's a guys, guy that's a boys boy, that's a
dad's dad. This is what this show is. We enjoy
having fun, whether you're in it, where you're preparing, whether
you're preparing to be in it. We love fatherhood. We
talked about our hugs and lows of fatherhood. We tell stories,

(01:05):

not experts. We just love having a good o silly
goose time being dads, being husbands. We'll get into some
conversations with the wife. He had a couple and I'm
gonna have to I'll have to get corrected on the show.
I'll have to get corrected on the show. But the
feedback has always just been incredible, guys, the engagement. There
was a hater in the comment the other day Sharam

(01:26):
that I think I was promoting for the dads or
I was doing something.

Maybe he was one of the clips.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
And by the way, Chef Derek, you guys absolutely crush it, Shuram,
I know you make clips as well. You guys crush
it with making clips. But I had a comment or
the other day that was talking like, well, you guys

TVA for a new brand, a new pod is good.
But also when you look at it the entire universe
of Busting with the boys, like when you look at
viewer viewership and then comment like the ratio of viewership
and engagement for the dads is popping off, like the

made me chuckle, just because your laugh makes me chuckle,
and just hearing you tell stories.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
The comment was.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Coming after you on Instagram, did you guys, I'm going back.
I'm going back in the archives now. It was like
removing Sharan from the show and it'll be much better.
I wish I could have just grabbed that motherfucker by that.

Speaker 6 (13:10):
Through better And Will said, if I did that, I'd
be working at the Cream.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yes, that's what it was.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Described otherwise.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yes, that's what it was. That's what it was, and
I'm sorry for the curse.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
And I know this.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
I know this a family friendly show. Maybe bleed me
out chef when I dropped the MF like that, but that's.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
What it was.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
They came after Fat, they came after Fat. Well, they
just came after Fat Stafford just randomly in totality, just randomly.
I don't even know if you were. I forget what
the clip was, but I don't even think Sherman was
in the clip.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Damn. That was the craziest part. He wasn't in the clips.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, and listen, we talked about the hundreds that DM
you now and I love how you engage and go
back and forth with everybody on a personal level. So
just all the people that fight for Fat Stafford just
know there was somebody in the comments on my Instagram
one of the clips that I host going after the Boy,
do we mobum? There's gonna be new moments where we

(14:05):
have to get PT six mobile.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
We haven't called upon the goombrats.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah minute, because I know dad's probably a lot of
the dads that listen to the show probably aren't the
most active on social media. I'm not saying that boomers
anything else. I'm just saying the majority of people who
root for you, they're not in the comments. They'll give
praise every now and then, are when a big moment
happens and talk about eyefil, or they'll DM you on
the side or SG because they actually care and they
are rooting for you. It's the haters that are loudest

(14:31):
in any comment section. So it's we got to get
the boy. We gotta get PT six focused at times
because we love having fun on the internet as much
as anybody, and we get them, mobilize and get them.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
The good The good news is we're recording this on
a Friday. This episode won't drop until Wednesday of next week.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
I'll find this, I'll find the I'll find the comment.
We get that way, we can put it on the
screen and people know exactly where to get do I
give them the full meme treatment? I think so so
when memes memes. So when shirm former name on Twitter
was see if be memes Zone, Oh yeah, it's a
massive He made his name in the game making memes

(15:11):
and meme videos and trolling and doing all this stuff.
So if you're if you're wondering what is mem him
to death mean, you'll have to follow scherm on x
on Twitter and this is where you will see all
this stuff go down. He'll start meming them. This where
you flood, This where you get in the comments. We're
looking to delete people, We're looking to get profiles the lete.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
You know.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Now this is all coming back to me because when
I saw that comment, I said, ah, I will put
it aside because we know we love Sherman.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
I gues yes, but I usually I am good enough
to do it. But for whatever reason, when they attack
my boy, when I see just something just directed at
one of the boys, you know, that's where it gets
me sideways.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
You know what made me fucking laugh about that dude?
I clicked on his profile and his bio was say
something nice to someone. I swear to god, it was
something along those lines. I chuckled. I said, wow, the
irony must be lost on him.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Bro. It was funny too. With a lot of those
people who hate on the internet, you will click on
their profile and it'll be something. Their bio will be
something like that, like you know, positivity and wolf in
sheep's clothing. Yeah, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Yeah, absolutely right.
Let's get back to the comments. Yes, I kind of
came to while I was looking while I was listening
to you, and your laugh made me chuck on. I'm like,

(16:27):
you know what, that's what that was? Well?

Speaker 3 (16:29):
I held I held back because his name was I
am Jaysock. And I was going to say, speaking of
forny middle schoolers with the J sock, we know about this,
Will Jackson going yeah, if I held it in, and
that's what made me laugh, And I was like, maybe not.

Speaker 1 (16:47):

that you know? Hey, come on, uh, Joey Estrada thirty
eight eighty seven on YouTube, you boys really know how

And first and foremost, this pot is for the boys
out there. For the dads, I know, we get a
lot of moms and a lot of wives and women
kind of listening with their significant other. I love that
the dads and the men are so tapped in that
all these nicknames they kind of make sense or they
might chuckle on.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
The wives are like, man, they just have so.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Many, so many code names, so many nicknames, Like is
this just what guys do? It is it's what the
boys do when we need nicknames for everything. When I'm
cutting clips, Speaking of cutting clips, I'm like some of
the clips, when I look through the lens of somebody
that doesn't listen to this podcast, I'm like, they think
we're speaking another language. Oh yeah, if you got boomers

(18:50):
out there to listen, which I'm sure some older dads
out there listen, they're like, you know, there might be
fascinated or curious in everything that we're talking about. We're
also putting them on game. But all the young dads
out there, the young the st sixers listening, even the
goon gooner berets that are out the goom berets that
are out there, like this is a this is the
language in our world. I will very quickly, very quickly,

(19:12):
got to keep it under an hour. And we do
have comments to get through.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
We do have comments to get through. I got this
video sent to me from a PT sixer. Uh, speaking
of an older kind of boomer crowd.

Speaker 1 (19:25):

Adrian's gonna have to be home, basically home by himself,
having to just like take care of the house by himself.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Wife's leaving, She's taking the kids for a weekend, and
she won't be there to help him. Derek, it's here

I was at a loss for words. I couldn't speak.
How do I survive a weekend without them? We feel
that been there? Am I just supposed to grab my
favorite bottle whiskey and just play video games. I hate
so much all weekend? Am I just supposed to enjoy
the games now without interruptions. Football games. Oh god, it's

One thing I do want to say, moms, First off,
don't go out of town and don't take the kids
with you.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
If there's one thing a dad needs and wants most,
it's for their wife and kids to be in town
on the weekend while football is on the TV.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
But you know what the that was what the kicker
was because I was like, Hey, you know what, Adrian,
you can make it through.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
It will be okay.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, you might have to get that favorite bottle of whiskey,
you might have to play that video game you hate
so much. But then when I realized that she so
selfishly chose a weekend in the fall, during football season
to leave, Yeah, that's the part that hit home, Adrian.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Man, tough times don't last. Tough people do. This isn't
the right way to go about it, but it's a
way that works for me at times, and it is.
It's it's grab an ice cold butt, let out of
the fridge. Yeah, crack it open. Yeah, kick your feet
up in whatever couch, recliner, whatever you have. Man, Oh,

(23:07):
watch that football because as much as you don't want
to do it and don't like to do it while
your wife and kids are out of town, that'll help
keep you together and keep and keep the pain at bay. Yeah. Well,
maybe get a full twelve hours, ten hours of sleep,
Maybe stay up and play video games with your boys.
There's not a wrong there's not a wrong decision to

(23:31):
make in it during a time like that. Just know
that we are all with you, and we are all
thinking about you, and man, dads hate when their wife
and kids go out of town for the weekend.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Hey, Dree, I'm so sorry, dude.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
And I know that staying up late like that, that's
gonna cause him probably to sleep in, so then he's
gonna be behind on meals when he wakes up in
the morning, he's probably gonna have to order takeout for breakfast.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
He's gonna have to order takeout for break Takeouts not
the end answer, but sometimes takeout is the answer. It
might be his only option right now. Maybe it's pizza.
Nothing gets shittier than having a weekend solo watching football,
playing video video games, staying up late, sleeping in, and
eating with icy cold bud light and wings and pizza.

Speaker 6 (24:21):
Can I tell you, guys why we're like a circle
of trust? You guys are my three best friends on
the planet.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah. Can I tell you why this hits home so
hard to me? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (24:29):
I don't have a kid, but my fiance is going
to Cincinnati for the weekend a wedding dress shop. No,
and my mom's meeting her there, and she's taking the
niece and nephew from their dad, and they're all going
to Cincinnati together.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
So he's home alone. Too.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
He's home alone too. Man, I'm holdlone all weekend and
I have ten guys coming over. It's a little support
group to play poker. They're they're just they're showing up. Yeah,
And I guess I'll just drink beer tomorrow and hang out.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
So whenever, ad but it hits home when everybody leaves town.
Get your boys over man.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
And shout out that group of guys.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Man, that's what this podcast is built on, is that
that kind of community shout out.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
I got a On a lighter side.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
A comment from Kyle pt six for Life from from
x dot com. That's his user name, by the way,
that just read Kyle pt six for life. Let's a
sink in. Yeah, I love it. He starts it off
with fuck boys. That last episode got me good.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
You guys got the mailman out here crying on ring
cameras not cool. Will thank you for sharing such a
personal moment. This show has helped me in many ways
as a new dad of six month old Aria. Thanks
for everything. Been listening from the beginning. Get the trash
to the curb boys, wolf emoji. I got another one

(25:55):
that's one that gets that will get your Yeah. I
hit you your electricity bill.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Running from the Dog.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Mark Gonzalez two six nine eight on YouTube says, as
a twenty five year old dad, I had my first
when I was eighteen. I can say one hundred percent
agree embrace the fatherhood. Of course, I've come a long
way and got ways to go, but I've always tried
my best, which is all you can do, and also learn,
learned to want to learn. I wish I had this

(26:26):
podcast years ago because this podcast gets me absolutely pumped
to go home to my kids. And last but not least,
we have Ray Maddix on Instagram. He says, love the
pod and have a question for the boys, how do
you get your kid to eat what's for dinner? My
daughter's a one and a half year old, and a
few months ago she would munch on anything from ribbone, steak, chicken, anything.

(26:52):
Now she won't to eat a thing but bullshit fried
food from restaurants for fast food chains. I appreciate the
help fellas that came from Ray.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
I love the Ray Maddox because I have I have
some One of my updates that I was going to
talk about is the dinner time routine and the expectation
that we've kind of set at home where you kind
of motivate her a little bit with the cookie. And
when I say cookie, it's like a it's like these
little cookies and then you break a when she gets
a cookie, it's they're that big, Yeah, and they're broken
in half. And then that's her one cookie for the night.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, but that question right there. One and a half.
This is a good phase where hey, eat your food
or the tickle monster is going to get you, and
you get out the you know, you get at the
little spider hand and you crawl close and they start giggling.
Hurry up and eat your food. If it's like a
broccoli or chicken, whatever you're having for dinner, whatever you're
wanting to get them to eat for the main entre.

(27:43):
That's worked for me getting up out of my seated
dinner time and kind of like giving her a moment
to chew, and I go around the table and I
slowly start to approach her as the tickle monster is
going to get her. But if she eats the food quick,
tickle monster falls down, goes away, takes the power away,
takes the power away. But then at the end of
the chewing, the tickle monster starts to get power again.

(28:05):
Come back, come back to the one and a half. Yu, Yeah,
that could be a method. It is tough, dude. It
is like negotiating with the terrorists. Man, Yes, you're trying
to get your kids to eat. But my update on
Rue is now it's got you know, you know how
I said, like, we had those moments where I just
tell her, I'm like, Okay, yeah, you don't sweetheart, you

(28:26):
don't have to eat.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
You can be all done eating.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
But then she's like she kind of feels that we're
not giving her anything that she's wanting. In that moment,
which is maybe some pushback or resistance or kind of
fighting with her about it or negotiating with her about it,
she kind of just pauses and looks at me and
she's like, do I get a cookie? And in the beginning,
it was like, no, sweetheart, you won't get a cookie

(28:48):
unless you're part of the CPC, the Clean Plate Club.
Now fast forward a couple of weeks, the standard is
the standard. Now I just simply, you know, mom or Dad,
we simply all we have to do is like, you know,
if I'm about to tell Rude to eat something, Charles,
stop me. Or Charles's about to tell it to eat something.
I'll stop charing. We'll just say, hey, they don't have
to eat. They don't have to eat their food.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Sweet ar.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
You can be done eating. You can go to sell
on the couch, you can play, you can do whatever
you want. You don't have to eat anymore. If you
want to be done, you can be done. But you
know there's no cookie, so and that is what usually
gets rude to kind of think about it for a moment.
She might take a minute, but she comes back around,
she eats her food, and now we don't even have
to say the cookie part. Sweet Ar, you don't listen,
you know, be part of the clean plate club. That's fine,

(29:31):
but you know what the cost is. As long as
you know and understand that, you can be done if
your belly's full, but you won't get snacks, you won't like.
You can go play, you can go hang out. But
if you want to be done eating, you can be
done eating. And that's working. It's working. It's working. Rue
is three. I have a three year old and a
ten month old. For new listeners out there, yeah, that's huge,
big time. We feel really good about it. She's always

(29:52):
fired up when she eats her lunch too, like when
she comes home from school and she's like, oh, clean
plate club, or like yesterday she's like, I'm like, sweetheart,
how you know we were able? We lay in from
New York early afternoon. So I got to pick her
up yesterday from school. Yeah, so one picked her up
and surprise her, surprised her. I was gonna surprise her
with a flower. But I went to Walgreens thinking that

(30:14):
there would be flowers there, you know, like a time
to day.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah, there's usually.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Flowers, like get her cheap little flower, bring it to her,
any sweetheart, give her a flower. There wasn't any flowers there,
So I got her like the small little snack, like
a little snack piece of candy, just to like fire
her up.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
She'd be pump.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Dad was coming to pick her up. And then we
were kind of talking on the way home. I was like,
were you part of the clean play club?

Speaker 2 (30:34):
She's like no.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
I was like, you weren't part of the clean play club?
What happened? She's like, I didn't need the cucumbers. You
didn't need the cucumbers. We kind of slice them up
cucumbers because she usually enjoys them. She's like, no, I
was like, did you eat did you at least eat
a few cucumbers? She's like, no, I said, you didn't
eat one cucumber. No, sweetheart, you got to eat your cucumbers. Hey, listen,
Dad is not there when you're doing lunchtime. But just know,

(30:56):
if you got cucumbers in your lunch box, you don't
have to eat all of them, but it is. It
is good for your muscles, it's good for your brain
if you eat some cucumbers. Yeah, it's just food for thought.
Can just drive it home. But yeah, So that's an
update on some great question. By the way, great comment
that we got to hit there. Great question, but that
would be my advice for one and a half one
and a half year old around that time. You can

(31:16):
really tickle monsters alive and well in that stage of life.
So it's like utilizing that leveraging that power to get
them to that ad is gonna come.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Quick question for the boss man here as she gets older,
will you implement the you're not leaving the table when
I'm not leaving either until you take a couple of bites?
Uh plan. I don't know if anyone had to deal
with that as a kid. But that's a that's a
war for fucking attrition. I'll sit here until you move.
We're not leaving anywhere.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, I mean we don't like Rue's always the last
one to finish eating right, Like Taro and I, we
were like, food's down, we're hungry, we're ready to go.
And scott Zilla she's an absolute menace with the food.
And when she's done, it's she's just she just she
knocks it off. Just you know she's done. You know
she's done. Oh yeah, but Roue always takes a moment.

(32:07):
But yeah, we sit there until she gets done, and
I'm like, sweetheart, we want cookies too. I get that
it can't have a cookie until you eat your food.
And we don't like we don't leave until until she's done,
unless it's like, you know, something pressing is happening, or
say we haven't eat dinner around six thirty instead of
six or five forty five, and we got to get
Scottie to bedtime, start doing the dishes and everything else.

(32:28):
But usually one parent's there until she gets rolling. Yeah,
but if she's like I'm too tired or having a
fit and she starts, you know, she knows when she
is getting tired or she's usually it as an excuse.
We'll say, okay, we can be done eating, but we're not.
There's no TV coupons tonight. There's no you know, you
name all the things where she might get you. There's

(32:48):
no juice, there's no snacks, there's no cookie like, there's
no playtime if you're tired and you're being this crazy
like let's go upstairs right now and get ready for bed.
That might a couple of times that's happened, or she
takes us up on it. She goes to bed and
then she sleeps. You know, she's like thirteen hours of
sleep and she was tired. But you'll kind of stop
on her tracks like hey, I thought you want to

(33:10):
go to bed. Come on, we got your milk, let's
go upstairs. And she's like I'm hungry. It's like, well,
you have your dinner, so she'll eat her dinner. So
there is like that. Yeah, there's a lot of patient
sitting in the pocket.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Five year old in me has had some battles and
she I don't know, maybe when I was younger, I
can't tell you when I was like six or seven,
when I was like seven or eight. Old John used
to sit there and just stare me down and goes,
I'll sit here all night, and it would just be
we would sit there in dead silence, and he was like,
all you got to do is take five bites and
it'd be something I hated, and I'd be like no,

(33:41):
and I all right, I'll sit right here, and it's
like that's it and he knows that. It's like it's
a what's the Wolf of Wall Street? Whoever talks first loses. Yeah.
He would sit there and I mean we for a
long time, and eventually I would get maybe I would
give in, or I would go up to bet. My
dad would finally be like nine o'clock, kids, my Dad's like,

(34:01):
just go to bed.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
There's only gonna be two options from it.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, and uh it s as a parent, you're thinking
of all the things like that they won't do in
between dinner time and bedtime, and it's like, all right,
march your little ass upstairs, or march your little ass
in that room.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
But yeah, you're sitting there and we're we're parents, like
we're I'll break like the parents leverage just bites of food,
say hey, three, give me three, Yeah, give me four,
and whenever his one and a half year old when
she's able to start kind of counting and they kind
of don't know then to go. Just like when you
witness Charro doing the jumping in the water or something

(34:38):
that Taylor's like, how many of the times do you
want to jump in? They can't count very high, So
we'll say, listen, you don't have to eat a lot,
but how many bites would you be willing to eat? Like,
you tell me how many bites, and that's what we'll do.
And they'll just randomly say like three or four and
they're like, You're like, all right, we can do that.
So that's a good tactic. You just gotta have You
gotta have a deep bag.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
You gotta be creative when you're in that, when you're
in that faces.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
We interrupt this episode to bring you one of our
favorite sponsors, True Classic. When it's to day at night,
Jilly Bean says, and you can all say it back
with me. She says, Sherman, go put on that T
shirt that you always get at Busting with the boys.
You got them all over the office. I say, honey,

(35:20):
that's my True Classic shirt. If it's me nice and snug,
it looks great. It's casual, yet has this really nice
appeal to it where you can throw some slacks on
with it, and you're walking into a nice restaurant. You
feel like you're dressed to impress. However, it is cold outside.
I get that. You're like, I don't want to wear
a shirt when it's freezing cold temperatures here in Nashville, Tennessee.

(35:43):
As winner quickly approaches. They also have hoodies. I'm rocking
one right now. They have pants, they have all kinds
of stuff, guys. True Classic has just launched a boy
line for the boy dad's out there you can match,
and honestly, it's way better than those awkward family photo
outfits or cheesy pajamas. You get to show up together,

(36:06):
feel comfortable, and actually look good doing it. The crazy
thing is True Classic has already sold over twenty five
million shirts to more than five million customers with over
two hundred thousand five star reviews, so I'm definitely not
the only dad who has figured this out. You can
find them at Amazon, Target, or even select Costco and

(36:27):
Sam's Club locations, or just head to True Classic dot com.
Forward slash for the dads. That's true, classic dot com
forward slash for the dads. Trust me, grab one and
you'll think me later.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
I have a couple more djpac One on YouTube. Djpac
one will absolutely loot up. When he was telling us
about that twenty eight sweep counter, he needs to be
a coach later in life. We need an update. I
saw my man. He's like, hey, I got you. Yeah,
he sent a message in right talking about I don't
think where the game was.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
He was talking about where the game was.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
They played the day before the Red River shoot as
we're shooting. They play today as podcast. They play today now.
If you had an interest, take four our trip go
watching powder puff football third graders and fourth graders in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Yeah,
I think so. And he said he's going to give
that speech.

Speaker 6 (37:20):
Sayatu, Oklahoma. Oh it's at the high school field. So
he said their flag football game is in Sayatuk, Oklahoma.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Yeah, shout out DJ pack One, come on, DJ Katie
Jo's and Hans from YouTube. I'm so happy to see
Jill's instructions while she is away. I am this mom
because it makes me feel better to leave lists and information.
I don't do it because I don't think my husband
can handle it. I do it for me and I
know it's crazy. I want to put a I want

(37:50):
to just put a pause on that one, because that's
a great one to talk about. Recap your weekend. Yes
as a as a solo parent. Yes, this one's from
Black Parsons g one E on YouTube. Love the podcast. Boys.
Just want to say the wife and I have been
trying to have a baby for the past year and
a half. It's had its ups and downs in definitely
a stressful time. I'll listen to Busting all the time.

(38:11):
I'll deliver my ups truck. But my first four the
Dets podcast was episode seventeen. Y'all got me crying and laughing,
looking goofy on everyone's ring cameras. Second little ring camera
shout out today. But more importantly, after listening to episode seventeen,
I found out twenty four hours later, I'm going to
be a no, no, yes, super pumped and just want

(38:32):
to say thank you for keeping me entertained throughout the
week at work and for all the advice. Any advice
to handling a pregnant, hormonal wife would be greatly appreciated.
Laugh out loud ps y'all know about our news before
any of our family and even our parents. Love y'all.

Speaker 6 (38:47):
Well, just real quick, yes, so sorry, that is Blake Parsons.
I put a typo.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Oh, I'm so sorry. Okay.

Speaker 6 (38:52):
I even told chef. I was like, I don't think
I fixed. That's a Blake Parson.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Blake. Just again, I read the prompter. I read the
tell prompter here that's yeah, yeah, oh the Black Parsons
aka Blake, Yeah, Blake Parsons.

Speaker 5 (39:08):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Thank you for tuning in. Thank you for hopefully being
a new listener who sticks around. I think you get
a lot of have a lot of fun with this podcast,
and then get a lot of stories and tips and
realize that you are part of a sick community. My advice,
we can give a couple couple easy ones, but you
can go back. I would say it would be very
fun for you to catch up on the podcast because

(39:28):
again we're only what eighteen nineteen deep now as you're
listening to this podcast, But there's a lot of good
info coming up. Cause Shurm, he was he wasn't a
dad yet when we started this podcast. Correct, Are you
just six weeks out from Scarlett Spurth. Yeah, six weeks
out from Scarlett spur So there's a lot of things

(39:49):
before that. We're I'm telling Shiram stuff. He's kind of
telling me what he's going through or dealing with with
the pregnant wife, not in like a negative way, but
just as we're sitting here talking about supporting your wife
and everything else. Obviously right when he has Scarlett, we've
been getting to go through Shrham's journey in real time.
It's scar scar is now.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Three months old, three months and some change, three months.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
And some change almost three and a half. Three good,
and you can say three and a half, yeah, three
and a half she is.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
It's been fourteen weeks, yeah, July third, so and then
we're October tenth, so yeah, yeah or something three months
in a week.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
Yeah, but she.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
It is fun thinking about when we started this podcast
and all the questions that I did have.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
And it does help me still.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Some of the lessons that I learned from either comments
yourself are lessons of the week. So I would highly
advise going to the beginning of this podcast because there
are like a lot of good nuggets in there that
I still to this day, Like this is such a
fun show because we do how fun on here and

(41:00):
we joke around a lot, But there are a lot
of lessons that still to say, I'm like, damn, I'm
so lucky that I've kind of found my way into
this little community and that all these little lessons are
kind of floating in my brain.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Now.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
Yeah, there's and we are not professionals. That's about no, no, no,
not experts, not experts, but we.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
He has some nuggets every now and then, maybe a
little hack, little dad hack for finding some of this advice.
I would advise, if you don't want to listen to
all of them, go through each one and scroll the
comments section on YouTube. All ones are sticking out with
dad tips, whether it's like if they're alluding to us
talking about your pregnant wife or anything else, maybe it's
like okay, in this episode that seems like they're covering

(41:46):
these topics. Another one I would recommend, My wife just
actually got a DM yesterday, like a long DM of
somebody who found our IVF podcast. We did an IVF podcast,
a Mother's Day pod on the Bust and with the
Boys channel where my wife and I go through IVF
and we talk a lot about supporting during pregnancy and
a lot of those ups and downs during a process

(42:08):
like that. So i'd recommend something like that, but that
could be an easy way if you don't have time
or you don't want to go through back, go through
the entire catalog before that's would recommend, but just skim
through the comments and see some of the topics that
I talked about. When one kind of hits home, then
assume that it's probably going to be in that episode.
I love that, and uh, be there, be there for
your wife, have fun. It's gonna be a crazy journey.

(42:30):
You're gonna absolutely kill it. It's about connection, not strength. Yes, connection,
that's the biggest takeaway if you can have one mantrace,
but not about staying strong, being strong, kind of being
that male monotone, keeping everything suppressed inside. It's no talk
about talk through your emotions, talk about her. She wants
to be scene, felt and heard. And it's not about
staying strong. It's about reconnecting with your with your gal.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
That was great. Where was that you? It's about connection,
not strength.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Well, yeah, I think we had Yeah, we had a
lesson we did at that one.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
That's great.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Damn, that's really good. Going back to uh Katie, Jos
and Hans. She loved the instructions while Jewel's away she's
a mom makes her feel basically, I feel seen when
that gets said on the podcast. I don't do it
because I don't do it because I don't think my
husband can handle it. I do it for me, and
I know that's crazy. Give us a recap, bro break

(43:25):
us down last weekend.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Well, first off, is that the same Josen Hans from
last week?

Speaker 2 (43:32):
We had a didn't we have a Josahans last week? Maybe?

Speaker 1 (43:35):
So repeat offender, repeat missus Joshan, miss missus Jo's and Hans.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
I love it. Yes, I labors.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Come out like Leonardo DiCaprio and a what was it
Once upon a Time in Hollywood?

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Just coming up out of the chair. I do that.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
That's exactly what I do.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
Because we were I was reading it and then we
decided it was Josen Hans and then we went back
to Jo's and Hans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, probably,
but yes, I uh to dive into that.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
My crack cold one was the weekend with Scarscar.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
It was Jill coming home to me, absolutely obliterating the
weekend alone with Scarscar the stories in the videos from
hanging out with Will at the Pumpkin Houses and Jill.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Calling me you have a great time. That was very fun.
It was kind of surreal. It was like a weird.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
Moment of being out in public with a friend, but
like it's all about your kid, you know what I mean. Yeah,
like that was my first time really kind of being
out there in the wild. But like my I don't
know if you could tell, but my brain was on
Scarlet the entire time.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
From a standpoint of allow, Yes, that's when I started
to rip the backpack. Yes, remember when I put the
through the backpack punt. You're like, buddy, you don't have
to put the bag. I'll put the backpack on for you.
Oh my gosh. I mean I was so sure, can
you turn around? I need to get this other bag?
And I'm like, you know, I turned around for him,
and he's on zipping getting stuff out of the bag.
I was like, no, wonder, Jill loves this. Yeah, that
was the most convenient thing in the entire world. And

(45:12):
shout out you for throwing the backpack on. But I
was so in my head, dude, because Jill wasn't there of.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Like I just kind of had her like voice in
my ear, just like what would would Jill be okay
if I was doing that? Like would she want me
to do that? She probably want me to turn the
stroller so the sun's not in Scarlet's face. And I'll
say it with Scarlet while Will is, you know, dancing
with Rue and Scottie and Charro was killing it as well.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
But it was fun.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
I did enjoy it, but the entire time I was
just kind of like, oh, you're operating, yeah, solo that.
I was like weirdly nervous with Scarlet, like out in
the wild.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
But she crushed it. She did a really good joke.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
She murdered it.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
And I was overthinking the her falling asleep in the
car on the way there, and then I'm rolling up
and char was like, oh, she taking a nap, and
I'm like, oh fuck, she's not supposed to be taking
a nap, sherman, what are you doing.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
It's like on the list she sleeps at these times. Yes,
I'm picking up Scarlet and I'm like, please stay awake,
please stay awake. But I mean I was overthinking it,
you know, because they all ended up great.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
She slept every single day.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
It was only two nights I was by myself, but
she slept all the way through the night both nights,
which is crazy.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Shout out to Merlin.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
We put a graphic out for Will Howard and his parents.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Hey, shout out.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
The Steelers pets, Big Steelers, future Hall of Famer Will Howard.
But uh, dude, the Merlin rips. Scarlett's sleeping like a
champ in it.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
And I'm not gonna lie that first morning when I
woke up, I legitimately was in a panic because I
was like.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
I slept through Olliver crying. Yeah, she had to have
cried last night. And I have the monitor up. Oh
that's happened to me a couple of times when I'm
so low, And.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
I know that Jill has that app even though she's
in Miami. She can get on the nanat app and
you can go through the highlights of the night on
the Nano app. That's a dad hacking itself. Yeah, so
sick survival kit. But I went through the highlights, did
not stir, didn't stir. So I had the monitor on,

(47:29):
I had the volume up.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Which is big time for parents out there that kind
of either remember those days or kind of just got
out of them or in them right now. Scar scars around,
you know, three months and some change, you're kind of
around that moment to where they could potentially start sleeping
through the night. Sure, met a couple of big dubs
over the weekend, which fires me up for you.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Jill's calling me, She's like, you haven't really told me
about like the park with Will, Like how was it?

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Like, how was saying with the check out, have some
fun in me? And yeah's met CALLI.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
He's god, get some heat those I was like, yo,
chill out.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
He's all good, like we have fun type shit.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
You don't need to worry.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
We crushed it. And then obviously when she got I
told her all about it, because too, when.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
You're when you're so like when you're going out and
hanging out with us, it's uh, you know, it's spooktober.
We're at the we're at cheek Wood, sick little setup
with the pumpkins everywhere, the food trucks, the live music.
There's a part of you too that's like, ah, man,
like I know my wife would love to be here
right now, and I'm getting out and this is like
my first time going to this park where it would
have been a great first family time to go to

(48:37):
this park. Yeah, so I feel. And then when you're
on the phone, you're like, we had fun. You're not
trying to dude it was awesome because you don't want
to bum them out. It's more like, hey, this is
a place we gotta go.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
Yes, And I did have a different dad loss which
I can go into when we get there. By a
small dad loss I learned very quickly was after I
dropped off Jill at the airport on Friday and recorded
with y'all. And y'all remember how I was bragging of, like, Yo,
Scarlet killed the morning nap and like killed it with

(49:08):
the babysitter. Scarlet went into a two hour scream session,
full on, like starting to turn purple scream session. I'm
just sitting there, you know, holding her so close to
my chest and rocking up and down, trying the walking
in the neighborhood. That's not working. Jill gets on FaceTime

(49:30):
as soon as she lands, is everything okay, blah blah blah. Well,
you know, she she gave me hell for two hours there,
but she's good. Now, what does that mean?

Speaker 2 (49:39):
What do you mean? She gave you help.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
I lied to her so fast and she knows when
I lie. Yeah, I'm a bad liar. But yeah, I
was like, I'm kidding, I can't. I'm sorry. That was
not funny joke. And she did not give me.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Hell. She's been great, she's been great, but.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
That was a dad loss that layer.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Now. I was like, yeah, she was screaming real bad,
and I switched up quick. How was your mental throughout
the screenfest? Because I have a screamfest. I have a screamfest.
Story mentals were good as far as the only thing
that I hate about it is when Scarlet screams so
much that it, uh and this is gonna be really
bad radio, but it like literally turns into like a.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
And then the face just.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
Turns purple because she's not breathing, like because her scream
that has gone so long that she didn't just sit there.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Like and I'm like, breathe please, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
And then she'll finally go.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
Do like a big free then and then scream war
And that was the only part that really freaked me out.
But well, we'll get into it with the Survival Kid.
I found out that Scarlett is a sick of for
the baby flash cards. That's what got me through the weekend.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Yeah, the little kid, they love the flash cards, love
the flash cards, And so it all figured itself out.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
And I was trying like some of the stuff that
I used to do when she was younger and not
as attentive of just like, hey, let's go outside, that
kind of gets her happier. Let's put her in the
stroller that kind of gets her happy, or put her
in the baby bajorn that kind of gets her happy,
and bounce her.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
But she wanted like interaction. She wanted to play.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
And once I got her in that playpen and started
doing her little foot to hands stretches and pushing her
in and doing the rotisserie chicken rolls, and then started
going apple Moon, Yeah, Apple Moon, and she's like sitting
there like each time I'd flip over the car and

(51:41):
she was loving it. So I did, like mentals were
eh during the screaming, but it was a quick fix
and then she didn't give me any trouble for the
rest of the weekend.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Whyfe come home to a clean house?

Speaker 3 (51:53):
Yeah, But like she also said that, it was like
she was like, you did a good job. I just
want you to know you did a great job, and
I see where the effort was made in the house.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, you're I like the picture.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
You're like sitting in the chair and leaned up on
your elbows on knees, and she's like standing like I
want you.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
I see she's walking, she's walking back and forth.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Yeah, I see where all the effort was. You did
a great job. Yeah, that delivers the butt.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
And when I but when I come home and I
see that the bottles are still in the washer and
the washer hasn't been started yet, that's the kind of
things that we need to be perfect.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
When I see that the you did the laundry. You
did the laundry, but it's still in the dryer. Why
is it not folded? Why is it not put up? Yeah,
I'm looking around. I say, okay, he did our laundry.
Let's go check Scarlet's laundry. And I look in Scarlet's
hamper and man, it's full of clothes. That's the ship

(52:59):
that will gate you beat.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
Yeah. I'm saying, yes, sir, yes, sir.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
But sweetheart, no, no, no, you're not hearing me. We're gonna
build on the good you did a great job. I
see the effort. We're gonna build on those patchy on
the ass. Yeah, yeah, we gotta eliminate the bad bottles
aren't all the way clean. Yeah, laundry is not all
the way folded. It's in the dryer. That's bad. That
we got to correct. Yes, sir, those are fixable, yes, sir.

(53:24):
But the clothes in the hamper, that's the ship that
gets you beat. And I will not hesitate, yes, sir,
to send I was gonna say something, really and I
will not hesitate to send your fat ass packing down
to Texas and you can live with oh your old man. Sure, yes, sir, I.

Speaker 2 (53:49):

Wife loves nature walks. She's like, if I have a
core value for my wife or something that I love

walks forty five minutes outside of Franklin. This drive forty

(57:56):
forty five minutes. I don't really say nothing. I stay composed, honestly,
never bring it up. This is probably the first time,
so I know my wife trust me, and my wife.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Listens to these episodes. As a matter of fact, it's
a couple.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
It's a couple of my dad losses in here we're
driving and Scott he's pissed off, like during throughout the
entire drive. Rue's doing a great job being a big sister,
staying composed. Sweetheart. We we can't listen to the Claw
song anymore. The Claw Song is the Halloween theme music

(58:26):
song with Michael Myers. She just want some spooky music
on my sweetart. We gotta put on the sleep time song,
the good Night song that uh corner. We gotta play
that song for Scott's will so she can calm down.
She doesn't calm down the entire drive. She's she's sideways,
bro sideways. Can't get her calm down on the drive.

(58:46):
I'm trying back there. I'm trying to like hole and
I'm trying to like rattle the goddamn car seat.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
And I got it.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
And we get to this to the Parker for the
nature walk and stuff in an awesome spot, and she's
still screaming the pretty much the entire nature walk. Oh
Charo had her shrap to her body and Chroo want
to go me and ru. It's kind of like a story.
It's kind of like a storybook trail walk toward they

(59:18):
have stuff for kids at like, you know, every twenty
yards there's like a little story as reading about nature
and stuff going on. It's a I'm enjoying that for
a few moments with Rude, but we're like, Scotty, won't
calm down, won't calm down. This ain't the Scottie we
know and love and appreciate and respect and admire. This
is a one to eighty. Her heart's black and there's

(59:39):
no there. It seems like there's no light at the
end of the tunnel. With her, it's like a year
three Max Square, Yeah, the year three Max Crosby, relentless
effort to be pissed off. And we're trying to feed
her the bottle and she's drinking the bottle a little bit,
but then she starts, like starts screaming again. It's like, man,
what is going on with her? You can tell she's tired.
She's like trying to fall asleep. She needs a nap

(01:00:00):
and she just won't. She's either overtired. She's going batshit
bro and Charles. She's like Charle gets a point where
she's stop and she's like jumping to kind of like
homeber down the rocker. We look like crazy people. People
are walking by. Now you doing You guys are gonna
figure it out. You love these times and I'm thinking
we want to get jo. They're saying that to you

(01:00:21):
as they're like, say, somebody's running yea yeah, the other
come by they might chuckle, or there's a family walking
by us.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
I missed with mine.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
We're now yeah, I'm missy missed with the I miss
those agents tough when you guys will figure it out.
And I'm thinking we have not figured this one out yet.
And so I'm like, sweetheart, let me. I'm getting I'm
getting frazzled. I'm like, let me, let me take her, like,
I'll strap her. I'm thinking in my head, I'll get

(01:00:49):
her to sleep. I'll put this child down. And she's like,
she's screaming. I'm like, sweetheart, just I think I can
get her down. And you wanted to do the nature walk.
You should enjoy the nature walk aspect as much as
you can't, even though she's crying, bat you right now, like,
let me deal with like, let me deal with all
this so I get her. I can't calm her down.
I'm getting bro, I'm telling you, I'm doing my I'm

(01:01:11):
doing some zone two cardio like I'm getting frustrated to
the point where I'm doing the same things as Charles
because I'm thinking, all right, Charles getting a little you know,
Charles starts jumping and I'm like, hey, let's let's hang
on now. She's ten months old. I get her and
I'm dealing with her. I get to that point I'm like, yo,
you got to relax, bro, Just fall asleep. And go
to like, just go to sleep, you drink all the milk,

(01:01:31):
you should be good. Yeah, and she's not.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
I'm like, you know, I'm pattner.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
And then it gets a little too loud, so I
patter a little horder. I'm get your little to sleep,
and I'm getting to her. I'm basically I'm basically running
the whole time trying to get her calmed down. I realize,
And here's the dad hack comes out of it. A
dad hat comes out of it, because we love to
dress up our little Kiddosy Scotty's ten eleven months old.

(01:01:55):
Here's what I think it was. We won't know until
I guess it happens again. But she's got shoes on,
so we got it in her little outfit. But she's
wearing these little nikes. Yeah, and you know, when they're
that young, they're not used to having shoes on. So
imthinking in my head, like what if she just doesn't
like shoes and stuff on her feet right now, Like

(01:02:16):
as she's trying to fall asleep, take off her shoes,
take off her socks, put them in the backpack. She's
out within five minutes. So a dub comes out of it.
A little dad hacked her. I'm thinking I go to Charo.
I'm like, she's like is she sleeping? And you know
I'm covering the sun any angle so nothing can wake
her up because I'm like, yo, this has been an hour,
legitimately an hour of hell with her. I'm like, hey,

(01:02:39):
I think it was the shoes. She's like you think, so,
I'm like, I don't know if she's asleep now. I
did take them off, and when she was getting a
little frazzled, like I just when she was like starting
to fall asleep, but I just like constantly feel her
like kicking her feet. I'm just like, sweetheart, just go
to sleep. But whenever I took her shoes off, she
was out. So I'm thinking it was the shoes. The
toes were just a little yeah yeah, Like you know, again,

(01:03:00):
they're babies.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
They're not used to having.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
You might dress them up and stuff like that and
they're good, but once you get them in the car
seat and everything, God just say, if you're wanting to
fall asleep, just make sure the shoes are off. That
was my like takeaway from it. But he got got
dicey for a minute, and I'm wearing the good hat.
So fortunately, I'm like, I am trying to constantly remind
myself because I'm starting to get pissed off about it.
I'm like, Yo, what is what is happening right now?

(01:03:24):
We can't even enjoy We can't even be there that
long because we got to drive all the way back
so that way I can get to the watch party. Yeah,
but got her to sleep shoes, knocked out the rest
of the little nature walk whatever we had left, and
I was knocked out the entire.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
Car right home.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
But praise praise a couple other dad losses my wife, Yeah,
you got a list going, Yeah, what's going on? I
forget exactly what we were talking about last week, but
it was where one of them was like maybe one
of the kids were struggling. I'm thinking, oh daughter, oh
dad guilty being away and the kids being all being tough,

(01:04:05):
and I'm feeling bad.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
For the game.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
I'm all, poor Scottie or poor this because we got
over it like hand mouth foot sweet. I hear you
talking about like, oh, poor the girls, but what about
poor wifey?

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
I go, you're right. You listen to that episode. I
didn't mention you at all. I could have sworn you
didn't listen.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
Yeah, but she's right times when we're thinking about the
dad guilt and everything else and like, oh, poor little kidd,
Oh dad guilt. I feel guilty, hate it for the kid. Yeah,
wife's going through it at home. So I want to
shout out, sweetheart, Charo. I know you're listening right now,
probably in the car, because anytime we get into a
family trip and we turn the car on this these

listened to. I'm like, oh, you're checking out for the dad,
So I know you're listening right now. I love you,

always empathy with wifey. I just want to say that

when you say you're getting home, it's a dad loss.

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
Like my wife might hit me up, hey when you
think you're going to be home today from the shop,
and I might just throw her a number, like if
we're doing this pod right now and it's eleven fifty
two and she's like, hey, when do you think you'll
get home, My dumbass would probably say like twelve thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, twelve forty.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
Five, then come rolling in a one thirty or something
like that. Or you get a text after the time
you're supposed to be home, like, hey, was you know
everything good? How far out?

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
You have nothing more adorable than some costumes. But because
you know, you just got you love kissing your little
one so much, like so much, you just tell them
like I could take out a steak knife and eat
you up. I could put your cheek, I could put
your cheeks in the oven at three seventy five for
ten minutes and eat your little cheeks up, consume you. Yeah,
you just love too much. You know when they're a

(01:19:37):
little like it's gonna sound weird, but when you're just
giving them kisses and smooches and they're like, cheek kind
of gets in your lips a little bit. That sounds wild.
But that sounds wild, It sounds wild, but you just
you're you love it. I will say Scarlett has now begun.
This is breaking, this is breaking. We've been doing kisses
for a while now and she is just now starting

(01:19:59):
to realize what kisses are. Jill and I will give
kisses to each other in front of skillet and she
like kind of lights up and it's like, Yo, what.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):

Speaker 3 (01:20:10):
And now when we go in to give her kisses
and go go in to give her kisses, she doesn't
know how to do like right, a true kissy thing,
but she goes like this with their lips.

She's trying. Yeah, she's trying. It's the cutest singing the world, dude.

Speaker 5 (01:20:27):

because you and your wife you'll be showing like you know,
whether it's hugs, like anytime Tarn and I was doing
a good like eight second hug at home just in
the afternoon when we're both home we see each other,
or if somebody's doing the dish or something, and you're
just like, hey, it's hug time. You just give a
long hug. Roos sies. And she's always like family hug.

and Rue's got her arms around both of our legs.
We do family hugs all yeah, but kind of showing them.
It's like, you know, the affection in front of them. Rue.
Now she knows how, she knows how to kiss, and
you'll be like hug and kiss and she knows how
to aim and she just give you a kiss. Bro.

we're kind of sitting there like or whenever you need.
She's kind of becoming a daddy's girl. Yes, you do
feel like there's like the gap is closing. Yes, you
better recognize it because it's closing fast. Jill got upset.

Speaker 3 (01:21:35):
She was like holding Scarlet right when she got back
from the airport. And as she's holding Scarlet, Scarlett is
tracking me everywhere throughout the wherever Dad goes. Her eyes
are going and Jill's like, oh, okay, so I just

And dude, I'm telling you, like, if you're a new
parent and you need that little something where like you're
interacting with your kid, Yeah, it's not distracting your kid.
It's like, truly, my kid needs something going on because
they are bored. They're crying because they need something to
play with, to interact with these flashcards, dude, and you

(01:22:41):
feel like you're teaching them even though I'm like, there's
probably no way that this is being retained right now.

Speaker 2 (01:22:47):
It will though at some point, Yeah, Scotti.

Speaker 1 (01:22:49):
You know, when she's sitting there and we do the

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
But we're at a hotel. Oh yeah, you know, you
guys can read between the lines.

Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
Then that there was gonna be like story.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
There was a story, but for another.

Speaker 1 (01:28:19):
Top sweetheart shout out Cheetos shot he shout out to
Little Easter Egg Cheetos. Okay, but it was a highly
recommend It felt like we went from mom and dad,
mom and dad to boyfriend and girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
Yeah, and it was a great like we had a
little spot ay like I had. It wasn't a couple's
massage or nothing like that. Like my time was set
like four hers was four thirty. You got access to
the spa like steam room, relaxation lounge, and knowing that
we were checked out from the kids, we're right down
the road obviously. Yeah, but it was fun. It was
a really good time. Got you know, got Trey, got

(01:28:54):
dressed up for dinner, went down, had dinner in the
in the restaurant at the hotel. We had dinner for
probably two and a half, maybe pushing three hours. We
got real parent mode, like you went up, we had
a little bit of fun and like we're gonna watch
a movie. Yeah, then you kind of the parent, the
adult kicks inside, you're like, let's just go to sleep.

Speaker 2 (01:29:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
Got we watched about eleven previews, eleven trailers. We're like,
do we really want to spend twenty five bucks on
a movie in the hotel room? None of them seem
like they're going to be that good. Let you know what,
let's get some shut eye.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
Did you did you have leftovers from the restaurant?

Speaker 1 (01:29:31):
No? We were so full, bro, Yeah, because it was
like the staycation. When my wife was like, Hey, what
do you want for your birthday? My birthday was on
September nineteenth, She's like, what do you want for your birthday?
I was like, honestly, bro, it would be sick if
we just do a staycation. Like me and you like,
we'll do a staycation. So we got the staycation set up.
It was kind of like a birthday gift. So when
it got put in, it was like in the computer
as a birthday. So I'm getting like birthday stuff from

(01:29:54):
the host set four seasons.

Speaker 2 (01:29:56):
That's sick.

Speaker 1 (01:29:57):
So we're getting extra appetizers. They had a little birthday
car signed by everybody. When we were sitting there, we
didn't want dessert. They're bringing over all the dessert so
this is the Khila some wine.

Speaker 2 (01:30:10):
But it was a great time.

Speaker 1 (01:30:11):
Dude, slept in Yeah, FaceTime with the root when you
wake up in the morning. We slept until about eight
o'clock when we woke up and it was we went downstairs,
got some breakfast, went laid out by the pool, Red
had a couple of books. But it was incredible. It
was a plus. I cannot recommend enough for mom and

(01:30:32):
dad to just be intentional about where they could have
a moment in their schedule to just go down the
road and do a staycation, get childcare, get rid of
them for a night and connect with old wifey and
feel young again.

Speaker 2 (01:30:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
Jill was even one to go to waffle House this
morning as a family, and I wish we could have
swung it. But I was in the back of my mind,
I was like, we do need to do stuff like
that more. Yeah, now that Scarlett is and as stage
where we really have her down to like a beat
on the schedule where it's like, hey, after that first

(01:31:07):
morning wake up feed, we could go to waffle House
very easily. Dude, we go get a family breakfast. Man,
we were at We have been to Ethan Roast as
a family. It feels like in a while because we're
actually talking about the other day. But Rube basically grew
up at eighth and Roast.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Like we'd have the morning routine.

Speaker 1 (01:31:23):
We'd go down the road, hit eight and Roast as
a fan like she's got the little they got the
little duckies in there. Yeah, yeah, But we would do
that all the time, and like even yesterday we had
that pocket whe we fly in, drove home, Uh you
picked her up, yeah, drove home, had the afternoon at home,
Charles like Charles home, everybody's home, and we kind of
have it's like four thirty, don't have to be at

(01:31:44):
the shop until six thirty for the stream and everything else.
And she's like, what do we want to do yesterdays?
It's been beautiful around Nashville. Weather's been beautiful when it's sunny.
The fall weather's kind of kicked in and she's like,
do we want to like go out to eat for dinner?
So we went out to have you guys been to Fonda.
It's a Mexican spot down in twelve South, great spot.
But we just went off a whim like, hey, four

(01:32:06):
point thirty, do we want to get out of the house,
we want to go to the playground. We want to
do X, Y and Z, or do we want to
melt inside the house when it's beautiful outside. Just on
a whim, got the family. We were out out at
fond of having a little family dinner. But yeah, bro
stickation was great. Highly recommend you and Jail family's doing that,
like once the routine is down, because again, when they're little,

(01:32:26):
when they're like Scarlet's age, like Row is at an
age where it's like, you'll have pockets in the afternoon,
let's go to the park, get outside, go to the park,
whether it's in the afternoon, after work is over and
everything else. But when they're that young, you kind of
feel glue, like you're glued inside the routine. Kind of
you want to stay on such a routine. But now
that you're identifying pockets, like, hey, we have the routine down,
there are these moments throughout the day, whether it's on

(01:32:48):
the weekend or anything else where you can get out,
go have breakfast, like you just just get out and
about do the family stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:32:55):
We need to do way more of that, and that
is Jill's love language. We did for our one year anniversary,
we did a staycation. That's such a cheet code like
it at the end of the day is really fine.
Jill like personally loves hotels, and I was I was
going to say, dude, the move is when you eat

(01:33:15):
at the fancy restaurant the hotel, you get him to
box up whatever, you take that up to the room,
din and then right when like you're just about to
fall asleep, you go, oh wait, I do have.

Speaker 2 (01:33:26):
A little bit of that short rate of love. What's
that doing?

Speaker 1 (01:33:31):
What's that all about? I feel you? I'm thinking. By
the time we fell asleep, it was probably around eleven
eleven thirty. We came up from dinner around nine thirty,
so of yourself after a stuff. Yeah, we are Our
reservation was at seven. We were at We were there
from right before seven because like we'll go sit at
the bar. If to the reservation is not ready, they're

(01:33:51):
from seven till about nine thirty. Yeah, yeah, there worst
stuff going up to the room.

Speaker 2 (01:33:57):
Different strokes, different folks. Man had that short I know
you would.

Speaker 1 (01:34:02):
That's why I'm laughingstabs in that shore room kind of
sitting over there, like.

Speaker 2 (01:34:07):
How can you be hungry right now?

Speaker 1 (01:34:09):
Well, Jilly means the number one culprit on that that
was her bit, and I was like, yo, I'm going
to adopt that.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (01:34:19):

Speaker 1 (01:34:28):
And we ain't Mom and Daddy tonight, Oh my god.
But highly recommend man. I'm talking about that. We were
talking about the anchor and sales stuff last week, which

right on the love language part. It's like, I feel

work stuff. We have sports to look forward to everything else.

together and say some things. The other night, he was
watching me brush my teeth. Right, I'm sitting there and
brushing my teeth. Your boy got a little gassy and
I farted and he pointed at my butt. So he
tried to say you farted, but it came out you fucked.

Because this pod will come out on the fifteenth, his
birthdays on the eighteenth.

Speaker 1 (01:47:43):
It's gonna work out kind of perfect. And meta brain
clip that meta brain PT six clip that you got
a quote top of girl lesson my friend. Yeah, I
have a really quick one. This one actually accompanies a video. Uh,
and we can make this into a clip. It's like
very cool video. Basically this dad breaking down being a

(01:48:05):
dad out in the wild with your girl, your daughter
who needs to go to the bathroom, And basically to
how do us as men go about our daughter needed
to go to the bathroom in the wild. Do they
go to the men's room? Do they go to the
women's room? This guy breaks it down beautifully.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
So I was a girl dad.

Speaker 8 (01:48:25):
I'd like to answer this one because I've been there
a thousand times myself before now, over the years when
my daughter was little, before she was too young to
use the restroom herself. Anytime we were out in a
public setting and my daughter needed to use the restroom,
I would always take her to the women's restroom. Now,
in doing so, I also understood that not every woman
wants to open up the women's restroom to find a big, old,

(01:48:47):
scary man like myself staring back at them. So here's
a couple things I did to make sure that that
didn't happen, and also that my daughter got to use
the restroom. So what I would do, if possible, is
I would try and find a woman near the women's
right and politely say, excuse me, my little daughter needs
to use the restroom. I need to go in with her.
Would you be kind enough to watch the door so

(01:49:08):
another woman doesn't open up the door to find me
and get scared or nervous or uncomfortable. I never, never,
and the thousands of times I did that, never had
a woman say no to that request. It was always
met with oh, yes, of course, absolutely no problem. Yes,
I'd be happy to watch the door for you and
your daughter to go in. Always got met with a yes.

(01:49:29):
I always ask politely, never had a.

Speaker 2 (01:49:31):
Problem with it.

Speaker 8 (01:49:32):
If there were no women around that I could ask.
What I do is as I take my daughter in,
I'd prop the door open with my foot, and while
she was using the restroom, I'd stand in the doorway,
blocking so that nobody could see in. But also at
the same time, if a woman happened to approach the restroom,
I'd say, I'm so sorry, I've got my little daughter
in here. Could you give us just a moment once again,
always greeted with a yes, no problem, happy to do that.

(01:49:55):
Thank you for letting me know. I never got told
note of these requests because and this is just my opinion,
but I'm guessing every single woman out there understood that
I was just trying to be a good dad, getting
my daughter and to use the restroom that she needed,
and I wanted her to use the women's restroom because
it is safer and cleaner. Gentlemen, if you were out
and you have young daughters, take them into the wooden's restroom.

(01:50:18):
We all know it's cleaner, and you're probably never going
to find a woman that has a problem with you
being in there if you do one of the things
that I told you, and if you're polite and respectful
from one girl dad to another, just trying to help
you guys out, I hope this might help somebody Anyways,
you guys, let me know what you think about this
in the comment section, Like can share this video, I'd
appreciate it. Dedicated after that out for the.

Speaker 1 (01:50:38):
Daughter, Oh, I think he said like five, like four
or five.

Speaker 2 (01:50:43):
Because rude just goes in the men's room with me.

Speaker 1 (01:50:45):
Yeah, I take her in a stall, which that's another
option that he talks about.

Speaker 2 (01:50:51):
I keeps his eyes down. Yeah, yeah, I was just
kidding out.

Speaker 1 (01:50:54):
She's three eighty there, don't talk to nobody, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we're doing our business. Yeah, which I did. I wanted
to ask you, like what your approach was too. It's yeah,
it's more of like, hey, if she's got to go
to the bathroom and I got to go botty too,
she just goes with me, just go in a stall,
get her all hooked up. I feel like she's young
enough to where she literally does not know the difference.

(01:51:17):
I'm assume, yeah, well she'll know that. You know, why
could you go in, uh, in the mommy's restroom dad
as a boy? Yeah yeah, that's a boy.

Speaker 2 (01:51:24):
You got boys'.

Speaker 1 (01:51:25):
Restrooms, you got girls restrooms, and Dad, I can only.

Speaker 2 (01:51:29):
Go in this one.

Speaker 1 (01:51:30):
You gotta come with daut That's it. That's just how
we go. Yeah, but a question that I've asked myself
plenty of times. I was like, what do you do
in that situation? That's uh, that's interesting. It's like an
initial thought, I guess when it first happens, but then
you just don't really once it happens the first time,
you don't really think about it because you're just thinking, like,
you know, it's your it's your little one. Any Like, Well,

(01:51:53):
we haven't been in like I guess where if we're
at like a game or something like that and it's
very public and crowded. We've been a situation like that.
So every bathroom we've kind of went into, it's you know,
whether adults are in there or whatever. It is like
you you know how you're used to seeing kiddos come
in with their parents. Oh for sure, So just go in,
hit the stall, rip it ri you need you need

(01:52:17):
you pooper bee bpr poop poop.

Speaker 2 (01:52:20):
Yeah. But yeah, that was that was my lesson of
the week.

Speaker 1 (01:52:24):
I love that because a lot of young dads are
That made me think about they don't have their kids yet,
they could be wondering that that could be a question
on their mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love that mine is.
So we had the one last week with the anchors
and sales, and I think one thing that just people, parents, whatever.
In general, there's always a lot of pressures in the world.

(01:52:46):
And something that I learned I was very grateful to
learn that I felt like stuck with me when I
was in college, like are you good, bro? My contact
came out. I thought that was tears that came out.

Speaker 2 (01:53:04):
Popping bag game.

Speaker 1 (01:53:06):
When you came down and I saw that, I felt
like it was tears in my.

Speaker 2 (01:53:11):
Oh you go.

Speaker 1 (01:53:14):
But something I learned as I was on the football team,
we have my favorite one of one of my favorite
because there's a couple out there, but my guy, he's
like he ended up. He's he still were very close
to this day. But James Dobson, he was our strength coach.
It's something he always said that resonated with with me.
I'm sure a lot of guys on the team, but
it's like, no matter what is happening, you can always

(01:53:37):
control two things in life, and it's your attitude and effort.
And this was a mantra his at all times. I
felt like it's something that really stuck with me. And
after it's like the the anchors and sales and having
some of these philosophies, like getting back to the getting
to the foundational thing that it's like you feel like
you get pulled in all these different directions and a
lot of things affect you throughout the day, whether you're

(01:53:59):
running late to something, you have a bad day at work,
you have a lot of whatever your stressors are in
the world, the two things that you can always control
is your attitude and effort. And how can we relate
this to a family atmosphere or parenthood, fatherhood, whatever the
case may be. An attitude attitude set your emotional temperature
of your home. So just like again when you think
about attitude and effort, your attitude, no matter what, you

(01:54:21):
can always choose what kind of attitude you're gonna have,
whether it's a pissy one, any negative attitude you ever had.
I bet you can go back to that moment if
you could have anticipated that moment, you think to yourself,
I could have handled this situation or had a better
attitude walking through the door at home. Yeah, your attitude
set your emotional temperature of your home. If you walk
through the door frustrated, distracted, or short tempered. It is

(01:54:43):
felt in the home without any words being said. Think
back when we're all young kiddos, or when we're all
growing up, if mom or dad or somebody's got a
bad attitude, or even a buddy, if you feel that
bad attitude without anything being said. A lot of the times,
it's like, oh, Dad's coming home.

Speaker 2 (01:54:57):
He's kind of.

Speaker 1 (01:54:58):
Seems like he had a bad day at work. Yeah,
Like we all know that feeling as kids growing up.
If you walk in grounded and present people, it feels safe.

Speaker 2 (01:55:07):
When you walk in.

Speaker 1 (01:55:08):
It's like SHRM's a great example. I feel like when
Shurm always comes to the door, no matter what's going
on with our boy, it always you always just feel
like you're in a fun environment because I feel SUREM
always walks in with the right attitude. You could have
a lot of stuff going on, but I feel like
your attitude. Always enjoy being around you because you're Like
I've told you before, I always feel like.

Speaker 2 (01:55:27):
I'm in a good mood when I'm around you.

Speaker 1 (01:55:29):
Yeah, yeah, I appreciate that, by the way, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:55:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:55:33):
Attitude isn't about pretending everything's great. It's about choosing how
you respond when it's not great. So when work is heavy,
attitude decides whether you bring that weight home or leave
it at the door. When your kid spills their drink
for the third time and you get a little frustrated,
you get a little piste off kid it won't go
to sleep. When you're trying to rock her to sleep
for a nap and she's got her shoes on and
you're starting to get really flustered, Attitude decides if you

(01:55:56):
correct them or connect with them. When life tests your patience,
attitude decides whether you react or you lead. And as
a dad, your attitude becomes the model your kids copy
before they ever listen to what you say. The second
one being effort. So again, the two things you can
always control at all times, especially if you're conscious of this,
is your attitude and effort. Effort is intention in motion.

(01:56:18):
It's not about how hard you work for your family,
It's about how intentionally you show up with them. So
effort as a dad looks like, you know, choosing to
get down on the floor and play even when you're tired.
I'm guilty of this. I'll be sitting there like it's
like I want to take a load off. Long day,
whatever it is yeah, and I might feel mom in
the kitchen or upstairs with the roo and I got
Scottie and it looks like she's wanted to play a

(01:56:40):
little bit. I just think to myself, I just need
to roll off the couch and get on the ground
and start doing the crawl with her. Whatever it is,
whatever gets her excited or choosing to play, like again,
if I'm wanting to watch the game, or if it's
after dinner, and again I'm just like, oh, I just
want to like lay on the couch, and Rue hits
me with, hey, you want to play Chase, And I
just thinking, Okay, I need to get my ass up

(01:57:02):
and I need to play Chase unless the back and
less the back's in a bad spot. Hey, sweetheart, daddy's
backs in a bad spot. But again, this we're talking
about effort listening when your wife fully talks to you,
not just hearing them. Guilty, guilty, sweetheart, I know you're listening.
Guilty as charged. The comment of I don't know why
I waste my breast sometimes because you never hear me

(01:57:23):
because I'm the what guy was that, sweetheart? Or I'm
just not paying attention. And then I finally just hear
the comment, I don't even know why I try talking
to you sometimes I got just you know, I'm making
up whatever excuse it is, sweetheart.

Speaker 3 (01:57:37):
When you hear the juicy part of the story, you go, wait, wait,
who's saying.

Speaker 1 (01:57:41):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah? I am enemy number one with that.
But fully listen when your wife talks, not just hearing,
taking the time to explain instead of snapping in frustration.
We've all been in those moments where something gets said
and we're just we want them to feel our frustration
that we might not want to get into a conversation
or might not want to get into a moment when
it's like sit there, be present. Not about being strong.

(01:58:04):
It's about reconnecting, finding that connection, getting back in the pocket,
showing that effort that you're not just wanting to push
it off with frustration or whatever you might be projecting
from whatever attitude you had, making the space for making
space for family moments even when the schedule is packed.
You were talking about the routine stuff earlier, like yesterday

(01:58:25):
we're sitting there, I'm like, okay, gotta go do a stream,
gotta do stuff. But if you find the space and
you find the time, like making the effort to, yeah,
let's get out of the house, let's go to the park,
let's go have a family meal, like let's go do
something as a family, or maybe it's you and your wife, whatever,
it is like when that space happens and you know
that space is there, being like prioritizing it and doing

(01:58:45):
it even though you might feel this packed schedule or
stress circulating around you, it's like, how can you pull
yourself out of that? How can you check your attitude
and how can you put forth effort? Effort doesn't mean perfection,
it means presence. That's something we've loved on this episode
since the beginning, that it's presence not perfection in fatherhood
because we fuck up all the time all they want

(01:59:06):
to continue to mess up all the time. But it's
how you show up in the next moment, how you
show up in the next day. Because again, your kids
won't remember a word you say. They'll they'll they will
understand what you model to them before you say anything
to them, and the lesson and all of that. You
can't control everything in your family's life, but you can
control the spirit you bring in, the consistency that you

(01:59:26):
show up with. If you keep a strong attitude, you
teach your kids how to handle it when life is unfair.
If you keep steady effort, you teach them that love
is built through showing up, not just talking about it.
And Indian your legacy as a dad won't be defined
by what you achieved. It'll be defined by how you
carried yourself and how you made your family feel. Yeah, dude,
So there we go. That's that's the lesson, that's the

(01:59:49):
topic of the week.

Speaker 2 (01:59:50):
That's a really really good one.

Speaker 1 (01:59:52):
The attitude and effort one, like a few in the
world of that I've just like learned or gravitated towards.
Are things that have always stuck with me, and sports
is attitude and effort. There's this four quadrant like belief, potential, action, results.
Thing that's always stuck with me. There is that nobody cares,
work harder, and nobody's coming to save you.

Speaker 2 (02:00:14):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (02:00:15):
And so the challenge that I've had with myself, especially
in fatherhood or parenthood and even for this brand wanting
to come with like a lesson or topic or something
like that, is I'm trying to pull from the football
isms that I've learned, and it's like all right, how
do we gear this towards like paranoids? So that's kind
of been my It's been like my homeworker challenge, like
when trying to come with with lessons or topics, because

(02:00:38):
I feel like all of it is carry over. All
of it's crossover, right, Like everything they tell you what
you learn, like when you're growing up playing sports. Sports
are the best teacher for life. So it's like, how
do you bring all the sports methods that is what
I know? And how am I carrying it? You know?
When I went from football to the branding and podcasting,
the business side of everything. How do I bring that
into whether it's the locker room on the bus. How

(02:01:00):
do I bring that into my personality? How do I
bring that into being a leader and manager for the squad?

Speaker 2 (02:01:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:01:06):
How do I bring that into fatherhood? How do I
bring that into being a husband? Because it all everything
tests you along the way.

Speaker 3 (02:01:14):
Any organized team, uh, And that could be like academic
to cathalon type stuff or like doing a school play,
anything where like a group of people are coming together
for a common goal. You have to hold up your responsibilities.
If you don't, it's going to cause others to misfire
and misstep, and I couldn't agree more. It's all applicable

(02:01:37):
to work performance, family performance, friend performance, Like how are
you performing in your life?

Speaker 2 (02:01:43):
Yeah? Are you showing up for all these things?

Speaker 1 (02:01:46):
Especially when you're an ambitious an ambitious person as well,
like you, really you're a ambitious career minded person and
you want to do really good work. We a lot
of us will do anything pop. We try to figure
out everything possible to be a really good teammate. If
you're in a leadership role, be a really good leader.

(02:02:06):
And a lot of the stuff in the back end
that's kind of in the back seat can be the
family stuff at times and where I've like you know,
had a couple like aha, or think, okay, how can
I marry it?

Speaker 2 (02:02:17):
To this?

Speaker 1 (02:02:17):
Like the family time and everything else is operating the
same way at home. Like am I being like the
way I am around my team, the way I am
at work, the way I am in my career, I
am in my ambitions, every philosophy or thing that I
kind of tied to that motivates me or keeps me disciplined.
Am I doing those same things at home in the
role that I have at home? If I'm in a
leadership role everything that I feel like I'm doing, whether

(02:02:39):
it's for a team, for the shop.

Speaker 2 (02:02:42):
Am I being the same guy? Am I being that
dad at home?

Speaker 1 (02:02:47):
So yeah, I was kind of I was kind of
going to where I was like, oh, that would be
a where's the bow tie on that one?

Speaker 2 (02:02:55):
Man?

Speaker 1 (02:02:55):
My brain kind of just stopped. But it's like to
throw a bow tie. I guess on how I applied
to buy Life. We always talk about like Charlio being like, Yo,
you have this dad podcast. You can't even put up
a shelf. Yeah, I ask myself that a lot.

Speaker 3 (02:03:09):
There are a lot of times around the house where
I'm like, dude, you got this podcast where you're like,
you got people writing in the comments these life stories
and about how great this podcast is blah blah blah,
and you can't get up. I know you hear Scarlet
crying and Jill's having to do that by yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:03:28):
In those examples the Willie one shelf where that came about,
and in the Scarlet when you're talking about too, it's like,
if I just think of the two things that you
can sit there and talk about controlling, because you can't
control outcomes, you can't control a lot of things external
that other people have control on. But if I think
about attitude and effort, it's like such a poor piss,
such a piss, poor attitude and effort in that moment.

(02:03:51):
If I think of it in a team environment, it's
like if I have these big goals of like hitting
prs in the weight room or doing X, Y and
Z on the football field, that's essentially a teammate coming up.
You have these goals, and you're not living up to
these goals right now.

Speaker 2 (02:04:05):
It did. The brain's doing it again, and bow tie,
bow tie. There you go.

Speaker 1 (02:04:11):
That was a good point. Yeah, hey, you're not living
up to these goals right now. Bow tie.

Speaker 3 (02:04:17):
No, but you you did paint a good picture. I
don't know what kind of bookend or bookmark you're looking
forward to.

Speaker 2 (02:04:24):
Sum it all up. I think you summed it up.

Speaker 1 (02:04:25):
Or it might just be the moment where I stop
and then there's just a second or two of silence
where it's like some tough somebody else might come in
and go off that and I'm like, okay, finish it up.

Speaker 2 (02:04:35):
Yeah, get the walk off music for like an award show,
the wrap up music. No, no, no, you know, Yeah,
they're playing me off. They're playing me off you just
like you wrapped up pretty well. I don't even know
if you need to put a bow tie on it. Well,
it's more of like the.

Speaker 1 (02:04:51):
Pocket of space comes in and maybe that's when just
the John Cena music drops.

Speaker 2 (02:04:57):
Oh my god. I feel like if we' does all that,
he's a be great at home because you're a good boss.
And I mean that I'm not hey, you know, he
signs my checks, but I really do mean that you're
a badass boss. And like the way that you operate
and stuff, it's like the most fair, just genuine like
once you succeed kind of you know, feeling like working

(02:05:18):
for Will and Taylor too. So if you apply it
at to home, like I feel like that's a hell
of a way to approach it. Yeah. It's the attentionality
too that you bring.

Speaker 3 (02:05:28):
I've said that before to you of like you come
into this office with intention every single day.

Speaker 1 (02:05:36):
And just seeing that.

Speaker 3 (02:05:39):
I've always been an employee that wants to like do
a good job in press and press and press.

Speaker 2 (02:05:44):
But it really is fun when you.

Speaker 3 (02:05:45):
Come in and it's like, oh, the guy that's the
shot caller is also kind of.

Speaker 2 (02:05:51):
You know, in the weeds, moan in the yard too,
Like that never feels above yeah, never, like you don't
feel your I've never felt like I'm talked down to
on which is like at the end of the day,
like you make the decisions. But I will say from
an employee side that you want to like, you want
to do good. That kind of stuff motivates you, like, hey,
this guy has your back at all times, wants you

(02:06:11):
to do good, and you want to fight for that too.

Speaker 1 (02:06:14):
Like, so it's a great agreed, you know, and with
that intentionality applying it to the home life, like the
kids are gonna see that as far as me. Thanks, boys,
They're like, honestly, it's like that's rat poison. That's rat poison.
You live for the cheers, you die by the booze.
Yeah yeah. But I feel I feel like in this

(02:06:35):
with the platform that we have to like getting to
go through topics, lessons, call it advice, whatever you want
to call it, I feel like this is a fun
platform to kind of get thoughts that I've had kind
of jotted down and journaled her on paper because I
I genuinely feel like I've gotten to learn from so
many great people that were stuff that they say, like

(02:06:56):
I'll be the kid when we are if you're the
person up there trying to give lessons or trying to
do things, and say you're in a leadership role and
you're just wondering if people out there are like taking it,
you know what I mean? Or hey, is this sticking?
And I just know, like I was a young I
was a young cat or a young athlete. In every
room that I was in, if if there was a

(02:07:17):
coach that I m are like getting to listen to
get taught from coach Bo Polini, James Dobson, like my
mom and dad, Like I've been around so many great
people to wear that stuff really resonates with me. And
when I thought about being ambitious and successful, I think
to myself, like when I listened to whether it was
Tony Robbins videos or any of those videos on motivation
or success or ambition, Like I was a guy who

(02:07:39):
consumed a lot of that stuff when I was young,
and I would try and put stuff into practice, and
when things like worked or paid off, It's like I'm
trying to remember these things like when I get to
the next level or the next thing especially in football. Again,
it's like being undrafted, like you're very salty and slided
about it. But if you take a lot of these
things that have been taught to you, and I can

(02:07:59):
just you can just remove the noise and try to
focus on the day to day stuff or the habits
or the things that I'm going to still challenge myself too,
versus getting down on myself and think like, oh man,
they don't think I'm.

Speaker 2 (02:08:10):
Good or that I belong in the league.

Speaker 1 (02:08:11):
Maybe they're right, or I get a little the whole
attitude and effort thing, or if I take a lot
of these philosophies and it's like, okay, how can I
pull myself out of my own emotion because you're just
we're all emotional just constantly if a result doesn't go
our way, and when those things start to work out
or pay off, and it's like, man, I need to
remember this stuff somehow for whenever I become a starter

(02:08:32):
or when I'm gonna be starting, whenever I'm a starter,
how do I become a pro bowler? It's never that.
But then, okay, you don't get the result that you want.
But how do you take the same things that have
always helped me get there through listening to these people
and being like, man, they're right about this shit, Like
I need to how do I box this in or
hone it in? And no matter what happens after football,
how do I carry the same approach over to X,

(02:08:52):
Y and Z, to things that you guys are talking
about and stuff at home. It's it's a constant. I
feel like I'm constantly trying to learn and think about
those things. So I've been very I've been just fortunate
being around a lot of people that you know, I
guess that's all to me for being a sponge, But
I was always I've always been a very curious individual.

(02:09:13):
And how is it like, man, I want to be
where that person is. How do I even if my
boys might be doing inside jokes on while we're doing
this dumb meeting or this dumb shit. You know, all
those you know, all those groups that have this seems
uncool to want to listen and you know, take something
away from it. You will cares about this sh try idiot, Well,

(02:09:35):
you're trying way too hard, man, Like that ain't the
cool thing to do. But I was always like kind
of I guess like that kid like again, if bo
Plainey was telling you something, I'm thinking, Man, I want
to be a head coach one day in college football
or the NFL. Like I need to listen to everything
all these coaches say to one day hopefully be where

(02:09:56):
they are. So again, very uh, trying to receive the compliment.
Also very grateful, been around a lot of great people.

Speaker 2 (02:10:03):
Yeah, yes, and shout out uh.

Speaker 3 (02:10:05):
I do have one extra thought, but also shout out
your boy James Dobson. He's the ad at Oklahoma for
player performance.

Speaker 2 (02:10:13):
That's kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (02:10:15):
Yeah, Dobson is the fucking man bro. Legitimately another father
figure in my life. I busted his balls. He was
at Vandy. He was like the head athletic guy, like
over all of athletic performance. Left to go take a
two job on the strength training for Oklahoma because he's
kind of The thought was he'd be the successor at
Oklahoma because he was a one.

Speaker 2 (02:10:32):
He's been the guy.

Speaker 1 (02:10:32):
He's been the heads strength coach. He was my head
strength coach at Nebraska. Very hard like, tough guy, very
hard on. He loves you. Hard the guy's guy. But
taught you a lot of good analogies and theories about life.
That kind of got you showing up even when times
are very hard, like a being in a world to
where you know, this is fucking football. Yeah, like it's

(02:10:53):
gonna be fucking hard. It's the whole point. Nobody feels
good at this point in the season. He would always
have great storytelling ways, but it was always attitude and effort.
And he was the head guy Vandy after Nebraska to
when I was on the when I was on Tennessee,
I got to train over at Vandy and still be
in life around him. He's actually the one of the
first guys where I'm like sitting you know, I'd work

(02:11:13):
out and then I go bus balls. We'd be in
the office hanging out and everything else, talking about the
old days and what's going on in Vandy. And he
was one of the first guys world was like, hey,
I'm sort of podcast like it's a bus So he
was there when I'd have to print out documents to
get signed use his printer. But Dobson is like a
shout out, James Dobson. He's a he's a legend.

Speaker 2 (02:11:33):
Shout out.

Speaker 3 (02:11:34):
And to put a bow on your lesson, you said
something that I really loved about the saltiness of being
a walk on or not a walk on, an undrafted
free agent. I love what you said of like pulling
yourself out of the emotion of like wanting to prove
people wrong, like pulling yourself out of like whatever kind

(02:11:54):
of angst or anger or sadness that maybe that causes.
Because that was huge for me of like going the
way that I did career wise, and kind of a
lot of people being like, why the heck is he
going into video production? Why, and me kind of getting
this like jaded spirit of Oh, I'm gonna show them,

(02:12:14):
I'm gonna prove them wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:12:15):
I'm gonna do that. And once I pulled myself.

Speaker 1 (02:12:18):
Out of that, it was just able to enjoy fully
gratiate and gratiate into like video production and chase after
it and work hard and put forth the effort, have
a good attitude.

Speaker 3 (02:12:32):
But enjoy what I was doing as well. That's when
I started like really finding success.

Speaker 2 (02:12:39):
Yeah, because you're.

Speaker 1 (02:12:40):
Right, it is tough, man, Like when I didn't get
invited to the combine, that was a hard moment, like again,
because then you like you're searching your name on the
internet and you see rankings and it's like man, I'm
just feeding into this thing that's honestly not good for me. Yeah,
And no matter what, the sun is going to rise
tomorrow and you put your feet on the ground, and

(02:13:01):
it's like, what attitude and effort are you going to
have about the day? And are you going to be
glued to your vision? And are you going to be
glued to the disciplines and the routine and what you're
eating and all these things you're gonna do or you're
just gonna kind of feel sorry for yourself kind of
shy away, come back, man, Maybe.

Speaker 2 (02:13:18):
They are right, yeah, bro, because I'll do that. Even
with parenting.

Speaker 1 (02:13:24):
Sometimes I'll be like, god, I fucking did so bad
that last morning, like whatever I didn't do, or like yeah,
I was being lazier blah blah blah, and I'm like
in my head, I was.

Speaker 3 (02:13:36):
Being such a bad dad. And it's like, well, here's
the opportunity where I won't be a bad dad, where
I'll you know, I'll change my attitude. And what was
it called the memory have a short memory, goldfish memory,
goldfish memory.

Speaker 2 (02:13:51):
Yeah, I think that's important as well. With the attitude and.

Speaker 3 (02:13:55):
Effort, it's like you will mess up, you will not
be perfect, but it's just being able to learn from
that loss. Hey, let's move forward and let's have a
good attitude to attack whatever this next thing is.

Speaker 1 (02:14:08):
And no, yeah, that's a great point. And knowing too,
Like let's just say in this hypothetical you have a
laundry list of a bad residence, oh as I do.
And knowing but yeah, yeah, yeah, but let's say like
something to where you don't feel you don't feel like
a whole lot of self worth because you know it

(02:14:30):
in the back of your mind, Like, man, I've been
a shit x for a good amount of time. The
power you you truly have to tomorrow there's going to
be another opportunity and it can change.

Speaker 2 (02:14:43):
You can change it like that.

Speaker 1 (02:14:44):
Yeah, if you're truly sick and tired of being sick
and tired, Yeah, that to me is power, bro.

Speaker 2 (02:14:51):
That's yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:14:53):
It is as easy as when I was like going
through a really uh tough period in my life, that
therapist that I would see and fort Worth, it's the man, dude,
he felt more like a dad than like a therapist.

Speaker 2 (02:15:05):
He may there was a point in my life.

Speaker 3 (02:15:08):
I don't know if I shared this with you where
I didn't get out of bed for like a stretch
of like two weeks. I didn't get out of bed,
and my mom had to like come over to the
house I was living at, and like basically it was like,
you need to go to therapy, blah blah blah. And
the therapist very first thing he said is he was like,
when you wake up, shower and put a nice outfit on,

(02:15:31):
and what else can't it? Can't you do if you
go clean yourself up and put some nice clothes on.

Speaker 1 (02:15:37):
Why not get out of the house. Why not go
have a good day?

Speaker 3 (02:15:40):
Why not go do like you you get that small
victory whatever that is, and you can change it, dude.
And it's like, I'm a loser. I've been laying in
bed for two weeks straight and you know, I don't
know what I want to do with my life and
blah blah blah, And well, hey, I showered and I
put clothes on today, So I guess I'm not gonna
get back in bed with.

Speaker 2 (02:15:59):
All these clothes on.

Speaker 1 (02:16:00):
I guess I'm gonna have to go, you know, do this.

Speaker 2 (02:16:03):
So I like that mentality, Yeah, make your bed, make
your bad small wins.
