Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is that, you know, we're responsible for each other's daughters.
So like when they're at my house, I'm responsible, and
when we go out, we go off for ice cream,
whatever we do, I'm always like looking around. You know,
I have to be on the lookout, and I know
that these guys are doing the same thing when when
when Emerson's at their house. So it's important to me
community exactly. And so it goes beyond just being a village,
(00:23):
goes beyond just being a dad for your own child.
You have to be a dad for other people's kids
as well.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
So I'm going to just take the elephant out of
the room right now for all of you guys, just
jump in there. Did you all want when you're when
you found out your wife was pregnant, did you want
that firstborn to be a boy? Did you guys want
that son?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Ye?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
See no beating around the bus. My husband would say
the exact same thing. Why is that? Why did guys
want that son? I look at you, doctor, Jump in there.
This is just an open conversation.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I think for me. So I I mentioned to you
before the show, I had two sisters growing up. I
loved them.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Of course, when older or younger.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
They were younger, so I was the oldest. I don't know.
I think that it's it's nice to have the the
son be sort of the man of the house when
you're not there. Sometimes I wish he did set a
little bit better of an example for a sister, at
least was nicer to her, I suppose. But I think
it's just natural sibling rivalry maybe between the two of them.
(01:22):
But you're starting to see him get a little closer
think of each other, and you know they'll be best
friends here in a few years.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Same with you guys, though about wanting to be or
wanting to have that son first.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Yeah, for sure. For me, I may have two girls,
so I think Jared kind of tests I live a
little vicariously through his son sporting events.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Thing.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
You adopted him kind of.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Yeah, But I mean that's that's the thing. Like I think,
just going to the basketball games the football games is
watching your son play.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
And he doesn't just have two daughters. He has some
serious alphas in his house, so they make him earn it,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
My daughter always tells my husband, Dad, don't worry, I'm
so you never had and.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
We do have a son.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
She's got an older brother, Kylin, but she's just such
a beast. And she was the shortstop at Ohio State,
the starting shortstop for four years, never missed one game
in two hundred and seventeen starts. And she is she
But she grew up really more than I'd say, more
so than my son, for sure. There's such a dynamic
relationship between a little girl and their dad, and her
whole life she spent grow she didn't care what I thought,
(02:24):
but she grew up wanting to please dad.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Do you guys see that with your girls?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
For sure?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
More and more with girls.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Because some of you have boys and girls. Do you
see that more with your daughters than with your sons?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
What do you think jen?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
With that?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Do your girl? Does your daughter always want to please you?
Speaker 7 (02:41):
I think so. I mean she tries her best, She
tries her hardest at everything that she does. But even
with since we're talking about cheer, you know, we sit
in the gym a lot and watch our kids learn
new moves, new stunts, new tumbling, things like that. And
I noticed from her being five years old up until
almost thirteen. Now she looks over to me a lot,
you know, after she does something just to make sure
(03:02):
I'm watching, you know, And I always try to give
her thumbs up for a nod to let her know
she's doing doing a good job.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I've always heard those phases, like little girls in a
certain age younger, when they're younger, really their number one
go to is their dad, and then as they get
older it's which is maybe when they get married and
have kids of their own, it kind of switches back
to mom.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
So you guys are living the dream right now. You're
living the moment.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Your little girls look up to you so much, they
idolize you. There is just some special bond between a
daughter and her dad. But on the flip side of that,
I think there's a truth to mother son relationships too.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean to your point, it's it's it's
the ages, right, I mean, as these girls go through
different phases in their lives, you know, getting into their
teen years. My daughter really she does battle with her
with her mom.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh believe me, amen.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
And you know I've usually got to come in and
just you know, keep the house from being torn to shreds.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I'm so glad you said that.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You know how many people are listening right now saying
that is exact same thing that happens in our house.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
And my son is just dumb enough to think he's
got the answers to fix whatever it is they're arguing
about it. I usually have to grab his arm and say,
look at me. Listen, I've got so many bullets and
they're for me, not for you. Keep it up and
you're gonna see what happens next. You stay out of
this conversation. You know, they are so very different. We
have boys, so as you know, they become teenagers. They
(04:30):
just like us. They know everything.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Oh, they know so much more than us.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
The girls become teenagers and they really lean into dad.
They do, you know, and then God bless the moms
for tolerating us for thinking, you know, now we think
we're so important.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Oh yeah, listen, you said a mouthful. We've got a
couple of callers.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Paul is a patient of doctor Cowens. We're going to
take Paul on the six ten WTV.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
And hot line. All right, Paul, are you going to
talk about girl dads? Cheer dads? Dance dads are just
something with doctor It's floor.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
Well, I'm not a cheer I'm not a cheer dad
at all. I had no kids, but I I doctor Cohens.
I'm patient of doctor Cohen's and and uh, he fixed
my knee up. And I just saw him on Thursday,
and I said, we were gonna me and Susan, we're
gonna give give him a call and give him a
shout out on the radio. I'll tell you what, when
(05:21):
nobody else would would touch my knee, doctor Cohen said
I can do it, and uh, he stepped right up.
And it's feeling It's only been a month, but it
feels great today.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I have so many questions for you, Paul. First of all,
why wouldn't anyone else touch your knee?
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Well, two years ago I had a knee replacement, and
what happened was during the healing process the kneecap. Doctor
Cohen has some medical name for it, but I called
it a kneecap. It it just cocked off to the
side and wasn't on the center, and and it hurt
all the time, and and it was almost like a
(05:59):
trick knee. And uh, there were two other two others
that I tried up here. I live up here, and
Mary and me and my wife Susan, and and they said,
you know, we could do it, but you know, maybe infection.
One guy even said maybe you'll lose your leg. And
it's like, well, I don't like those odds. So we
(06:22):
got we got doctor Cohen through you. We uh Susan,
and I listened to you and and Boots every Sunday
afternoon to Mindy.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
And that crazy man. You mean, right, I'm just kidding,
you know what. I am so glad that you called.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I really really am that. It does my heart good
that you heard of doctor Cohen through us. But it
does my heart even more good to know that doctor
Cohen came to the rescue. So would you think when
you first saw his need, did you know you could
help him? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So, I mean yeah, like Paul said, I just saw
him on Thursday, and you know he's doing extremely well
for such a bad situation. I mean his kneecap or
his patilla which is my medical term, which he's alluded to.
You know, was dislocated. So if you think about a pulley,
the rope on the pulley was on the side, so
it was not working.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
All we had to do was recent of the pulley,
so he pulled his kneecap back in place. And he's
doing well, and you know, it's it's one of those.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Things say that like it's absolutely nothing. You know.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
All we had to do is pull his kneecap back together,
put the pulley back on.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I mean, oh, I'm looking at my EU. I'm thinking ow.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
But you know, Paul and Susan, I mean, like I said,
like he said, they came to me because they heard
on your show.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, so, and we'll have them in next time.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
That means we get you for at least another month, right, yeah, Okay, Paul, Susan,
thank you so much for calling and keep listening. I'm
so glad that it worked out for you. And yeah,
we want you to be back on because I want
to hear how he actually put that pulley back on
the way he described it, and how your knee is
going to get so much better.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Doctor Cohens are brilliant.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Doctor.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
I've got the story for you.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Okay, yes you did. Do you have another story.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
I'll let you go and then get back to your girls.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Okay, back to our girls. Dads. You've been called girls now.
Thank you Paul for calling in. That's really cool though,
you know, that's the power of the radio.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
It's one of those things where you just, you know,
you just put your head to it and see the problem,
try to fix it.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
So one of the things that doctor Cohen said, he
wanted you guys to all come on, I really wanted
to talk more about girl dads because it just covers
the whole, big basic of it. But being cheer dads,
you do watch your daughter's compete. You do watch your
daughters in situations where you know, like doctor Cohen's daughter
just happened that they could get hurt, they could fall,
they could tumble and whatever. It's a risky take when
(08:47):
your daughters do anything. Do you ever get worried when
you watch them perform or do their thing?
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
So.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
My daughter started tumbling very early. It was something she
wanted to do, even when she was doing like little
orf chair when she was a little And I get
nervous every time she tumbles still, just because I know
how much she has to put into it to succeed.
And then you even see, you know, gymnasts at the
Olympics sometimes they get the yips or something and can't
(09:14):
do it. So I just I know how much work
she puts in. But yeah, I definitely still get nervous
when she's tumbling.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
You just said something, and I know what it is
because my son went through it as a baseball pitcher,
and I thought he was making it up. He said,
I got the yips. I'm like, what the heck is
the yips? Tell people listening that have never heard of
the yips?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
What is it?
Speaker 7 (09:31):
Well, it's kind of I mean, if you remember the
last I think it was the last Olympics that Simone
Viles her was the one before where it's like she
would get lost in the air. And this is someone
that's trained every day of their life since she was
four years old, and that can even happen to them.
So it's like you lose the sense of where you
are in the in the air, specifically when you're tumbling.
But like it's like golf, you start hitting it right,
(09:52):
you keep hitting it right, you can't stop hitting it right,
or like in baseball memory. Yeah, So it's just it's
something that happens to athletes a lot, and it's hard
to get rid of quickly.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
That's what my son was.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
We thought that our son was just making an excuse
why he couldn't strike anybody out. He's like I couldn't
even see the strike zone. I didn't even know where
I was throwing it to. So we have to go
to break. When we come back, though, we are talking
more about girl dads with these awesome fathers and the
things that they go through when they're hurt.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
When they're sad.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
That's the worst I always say when kids. When someone
breaks our kids' hearts, whether it's a friend or a
little boyfriend or a little girlfriend or a teacher, something
that happens to them, it affects us as parents ten
times more.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Than it affects those kids. So we're going to keep
having this conversation.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
If you want to join in on the conversation, and
it looks like Kayden, you might be on the line there,
we will take your phone calls.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
So stay with us, everybody. We will be right back
here on six' TEN wtv in you, guys hear the song.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Out the best thing about being a girl dad is
what anyone just jump in there the.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Hugs that's a good.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Answer, yeah that's the.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
BEST i kind OF i would agree with. THAT i
kind of like the, UH i don't, know the relationships
that that you start to develop with all of the
other girls, Too like when you when you see him
out and around and they run up and they all
want to give you a hug and they all want
to talk to, you AND i just think IT'S i
think it's.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Great he really does take a.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Village really, Yeah and you guys seem like such a
close knit group of dads with your. GIRLS i, mean
that's a lot of people don't have what you guys.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Have we lucked out definitely real we met all these,
guys we were, like thank. You, YEAH i, mean.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Our girls would like sleep.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
It they'll do a sleep Over, Friday, Saturday.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Sunday everybody's different, house you, know and it's never like you,
know so there's no. Issue it's like, okay. Fine SO i,
mean and you, know and LIKE i said, before you
feel so safe knowing where they are and who's there
watching over, them whether it's there their dads or the
moms are great, Too so it's just such a nice.
Feeling it just takes a little bit of the worry
(11:59):
out of.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Things so we talked earlier when you guys first came
into the studio about and you were blatantly honest that,
yeah you're guys and you wanted a, son.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Especially the first sport you.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
WANT i think most dads feel that, Way Doctor, cohen
you do not have a.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Son some of these dads. Do do you.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Feel like you got cheated or do you miss out
on anything with just having?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Girls not at.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
ALL i, mean you, know it's you, KNOW i had
two brothers growing, up you, know SO i mean for,
me it was just you, know having, healthy right children
and just watch you, Know it's just it's it's a.
LOVE i, mean it's just like LIKE i tell people
every day when you're day job is not as good
as your dad, job you. KNOW i, MEAN i LOVE
(12:40):
i love being a dad more THAN i love anything.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Else i'm so glad you said, that because that's number
one most important. Thing you got to have healthy kids
and just accept What god gives. You If god wants
you to have a, son you're gonna have a. Son
If god wants you to have a, daughter or if
he wants you to have. Both you, know we've been
blessed in our life that our son was. Born oh my,
gosh isn't. Here In october he'll be twenty four years.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Old and the next, year.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
A year and a week, later we had our, daughter
but it's it's a competition thing and you accept What
god gives. You but growing up as watching, siblings watching
my son and, daughter, yeah it gets very. Heated it
gets very very. Competitive do you guys feel like you've
missed out not having a, son the ones that don't
have a, Son, NO i don't think.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
SO i you, know Like brian, said JUST i just
want to have healthy, kids watch them grow, up you,
know just watch them, developing the young. Women AND i
THINK i think it's.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
AWESOME i think you nailed it when you said a
lot of guys want that boy because they were. Athletes
you guys are probably, athletes so you in vision watching
your son play, football watching your son play baseball or.
Basketball but, anymore the athletics, world the sports world has
changed so much with women doing absolutely everything in. Anything you,
(13:53):
know there was never THE wnba like it is. Now you,
know there's professional softball. Now it's changed the game where
it does allow you guys to watch your daughters also
thrive in, sports not just in.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Life you, know to that. Point one thing that's been
great for me personally is having. Daughters the things that
they DO i have no experience, in SO i can
just sit and just be a spectator and. Go let
me soak this. In and they teach me instead of you,
know with my, Son, Okay i've got to teach him,
football how to hit a.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Baseball you got to tell him when he's doing something, wrong.
Speaker 6 (14:27):

these girls. Do To john's, point like the things that
they do from a physical standpoint are blowing the boys,
away really blowing the boys. Away my daughter and my
son will compete back and. Forth YESTERDAY i said this

though that You're it's one thing if they play soccer

cheer and tumbling and you watch what they're, doing we
all hold our breath like land, it.
Speaker 3 (15:57):

Speaker 6 (15:59):
Safely and then when they get, hurt like my, daughter you,

Because i've Coached i've coached my son in basketball also my,
daughter and you mentioned a couple of things that THAT
i want to touch. On they're all love to my

Coaching but the girls are like when you're in the
(16:32):
huddle and you're talking to them at a timeout or something, There,

me so. Much it was her junior year and they
were playing buck guys were Playing marylyn and she broke
her nose in her first at. Bat the ball came right,
back shattered her, nose and they had a checker for.
(17:49):
Concussion she got. Stitches it was a hot, mess blood.
Everywhere so no way was she going to miss the next.
Game but there's no way that the staff was going
to allow her to. Play so she had to go
back and get test for concussion. Everything and when they
gave our announcer the starting, lineup who's batting third of
that Lineup Cami joe Krtacrags and he's, like this is yesterday's.
Lineup they're, like, no she's refusing to. Sit she played

bandaged up with a little mask on first time up
at the bat after breaking her. Nose, dagon it's that
toughness you just talked. About hit it out of the.
Park you can't write a better ending like, that but
it is the toughness that girls have these days that's
really really fun to watch. Develop you, guys are you

give me here and a friend and the dads can
be the. Other sounds, good all, Right you guys will
be right. Back thanks so much for listening To data
raw here on six' ten wtvn
Is that, you know, we're responsible for each other's daughters.
So like when they're at my house, I'm responsible, and
when we go out, we go off for ice cream,
whatever we do, I'm always like looking around. You know,
I have to be on the lookout, and I know
that these guys are doing the same thing when when
when Emerson's at their house. So it's important to me
community exactly. And so it goes beyond just being a village,
(00:23):
goes beyond just being a dad for your own child.
You have to be a dad for other people's kids
as well.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
So I'm going to just take the elephant out of
the room right now for all of you guys, just
jump in there. Did you all want when you're when
you found out your wife was pregnant, did you want
that firstborn to be a boy? Did you guys want
that son?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Ye?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
See no beating around the bus. My husband would say
the exact same thing. Why is that? Why did guys
want that son? I look at you, doctor, Jump in there.
This is just an open conversation.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I think for me. So I I mentioned to you
before the show, I had two sisters growing up. I
loved them.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Of course, when older or younger.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
They were younger, so I was the oldest. I don't know.
I think that it's it's nice to have the the
son be sort of the man of the house when
you're not there. Sometimes I wish he did set a
little bit better of an example for a sister, at
least was nicer to her, I suppose. But I think
it's just natural sibling rivalry maybe between the two of them.
(01:22):
But you're starting to see him get a little closer
think of each other, and you know they'll be best
friends here in a few years.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Same with you guys, though about wanting to be or
wanting to have that son first.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Yeah, for sure. For me, I may have two girls,
so I think Jared kind of tests I live a
little vicariously through his son sporting events.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Thing.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
You adopted him kind of.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Yeah, But I mean that's that's the thing. Like I think,
just going to the basketball games the football games is
watching your son play.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
And he doesn't just have two daughters. He has some
serious alphas in his house, so they make him earn it,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
My daughter always tells my husband, Dad, don't worry, I'm
so you never had and.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
We do have a son.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
She's got an older brother, Kylin, but she's just such
a beast. And she was the shortstop at Ohio State,
the starting shortstop for four years, never missed one game
in two hundred and seventeen starts. And she is she
But she grew up really more than I'd say, more
so than my son, for sure. There's such a dynamic
relationship between a little girl and their dad, and her
whole life she spent grow she didn't care what I thought,
(02:24):
but she grew up wanting to please dad.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Do you guys see that with your girls?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
For sure?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
More and more with girls.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Because some of you have boys and girls. Do you
see that more with your daughters than with your sons?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
What do you think jen?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
With that?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Do your girl? Does your daughter always want to please you?
Speaker 7 (02:41):
I think so. I mean she tries her best, She
tries her hardest at everything that she does. But even
with since we're talking about cheer, you know, we sit
in the gym a lot and watch our kids learn
new moves, new stunts, new tumbling, things like that. And
I noticed from her being five years old up until
almost thirteen. Now she looks over to me a lot,
you know, after she does something just to make sure
(03:02):
I'm watching, you know, And I always try to give
her thumbs up for a nod to let her know
she's doing doing a good job.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I've always heard those phases, like little girls in a
certain age younger, when they're younger, really their number one
go to is their dad, and then as they get
older it's which is maybe when they get married and
have kids of their own, it kind of switches back
to mom.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
So you guys are living the dream right now. You're
living the moment.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Your little girls look up to you so much, they
idolize you. There is just some special bond between a
daughter and her dad. But on the flip side of that,
I think there's a truth to mother son relationships too.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean to your point, it's it's it's
the ages, right, I mean, as these girls go through
different phases in their lives, you know, getting into their
teen years. My daughter really she does battle with her
with her mom.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh believe me, amen.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
And you know I've usually got to come in and
just you know, keep the house from being torn to shreds.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I'm so glad you said that.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You know how many people are listening right now saying
that is exact same thing that happens in our house.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
And my son is just dumb enough to think he's
got the answers to fix whatever it is they're arguing
about it. I usually have to grab his arm and say,
look at me. Listen, I've got so many bullets and
they're for me, not for you. Keep it up and
you're gonna see what happens next. You stay out of
this conversation. You know, they are so very different. We
have boys, so as you know, they become teenagers. They
(04:30):
just like us. They know everything.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Oh, they know so much more than us.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
The girls become teenagers and they really lean into dad.
They do, you know, and then God bless the moms
for tolerating us for thinking, you know, now we think
we're so important.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Oh yeah, listen, you said a mouthful. We've got a
couple of callers.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Paul is a patient of doctor Cowens. We're going to
take Paul on the six ten WTV.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
And hot line. All right, Paul, are you going to
talk about girl dads? Cheer dads? Dance dads are just
something with doctor It's floor.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
Well, I'm not a cheer I'm not a cheer dad
at all. I had no kids, but I I doctor Cohens.
I'm patient of doctor Cohen's and and uh, he fixed
my knee up. And I just saw him on Thursday,
and I said, we were gonna me and Susan, we're
gonna give give him a call and give him a
shout out on the radio. I'll tell you what, when
(05:21):
nobody else would would touch my knee, doctor Cohen said
I can do it, and uh, he stepped right up.
And it's feeling It's only been a month, but it
feels great today.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I have so many questions for you, Paul. First of all,
why wouldn't anyone else touch your knee?
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Well, two years ago I had a knee replacement, and
what happened was during the healing process the kneecap. Doctor
Cohen has some medical name for it, but I called
it a kneecap. It it just cocked off to the
side and wasn't on the center, and and it hurt
all the time, and and it was almost like a
(05:59):
trick knee. And uh, there were two other two others
that I tried up here. I live up here, and
Mary and me and my wife Susan, and and they said,
you know, we could do it, but you know, maybe infection.
One guy even said maybe you'll lose your leg. And
it's like, well, I don't like those odds. So we
(06:22):
got we got doctor Cohen through you. We uh Susan,
and I listened to you and and Boots every Sunday
afternoon to Mindy.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
And that crazy man. You mean, right, I'm just kidding,
you know what. I am so glad that you called.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I really really am that. It does my heart good
that you heard of doctor Cohen through us. But it
does my heart even more good to know that doctor
Cohen came to the rescue. So would you think when
you first saw his need, did you know you could
help him? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So, I mean yeah, like Paul said, I just saw
him on Thursday, and you know he's doing extremely well
for such a bad situation. I mean his kneecap or
his patilla which is my medical term, which he's alluded to.
You know, was dislocated. So if you think about a pulley,
the rope on the pulley was on the side, so
it was not working.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
All we had to do was recent of the pulley,
so he pulled his kneecap back in place. And he's
doing well, and you know, it's it's one of those.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Things say that like it's absolutely nothing. You know.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
All we had to do is pull his kneecap back together,
put the pulley back on.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I mean, oh, I'm looking at my EU. I'm thinking ow.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
But you know, Paul and Susan, I mean, like I said,
like he said, they came to me because they heard
on your show.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, so, and we'll have them in next time.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
That means we get you for at least another month, right, yeah, Okay, Paul, Susan,
thank you so much for calling and keep listening. I'm
so glad that it worked out for you. And yeah,
we want you to be back on because I want
to hear how he actually put that pulley back on
the way he described it, and how your knee is
going to get so much better.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Doctor Cohens are brilliant.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Doctor.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
I've got the story for you.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Okay, yes you did. Do you have another story.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
I'll let you go and then get back to your girls.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Okay, back to our girls. Dads. You've been called girls now.
Thank you Paul for calling in. That's really cool though,
you know, that's the power of the radio.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
It's one of those things where you just, you know,
you just put your head to it and see the problem,
try to fix it.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
So one of the things that doctor Cohen said, he
wanted you guys to all come on, I really wanted
to talk more about girl dads because it just covers
the whole, big basic of it. But being cheer dads,
you do watch your daughter's compete. You do watch your
daughters in situations where you know, like doctor Cohen's daughter
just happened that they could get hurt, they could fall,
they could tumble and whatever. It's a risky take when
(08:47):
your daughters do anything. Do you ever get worried when
you watch them perform or do their thing?
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
So.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
My daughter started tumbling very early. It was something she
wanted to do, even when she was doing like little
orf chair when she was a little And I get
nervous every time she tumbles still, just because I know
how much she has to put into it to succeed.
And then you even see, you know, gymnasts at the
Olympics sometimes they get the yips or something and can't
(09:14):
do it. So I just I know how much work
she puts in. But yeah, I definitely still get nervous
when she's tumbling.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
You just said something, and I know what it is
because my son went through it as a baseball pitcher,
and I thought he was making it up. He said,
I got the yips. I'm like, what the heck is
the yips? Tell people listening that have never heard of
the yips?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
What is it?
Speaker 7 (09:31):
Well, it's kind of I mean, if you remember the
last I think it was the last Olympics that Simone
Viles her was the one before where it's like she
would get lost in the air. And this is someone
that's trained every day of their life since she was
four years old, and that can even happen to them.
So it's like you lose the sense of where you
are in the in the air, specifically when you're tumbling.
But like it's like golf, you start hitting it right,
(09:52):
you keep hitting it right, you can't stop hitting it right,
or like in baseball memory. Yeah, So it's just it's
something that happens to athletes a lot, and it's hard
to get rid of quickly.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
That's what my son was.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
We thought that our son was just making an excuse
why he couldn't strike anybody out. He's like I couldn't
even see the strike zone. I didn't even know where
I was throwing it to. So we have to go
to break. When we come back, though, we are talking
more about girl dads with these awesome fathers and the
things that they go through when they're hurt.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
When they're sad.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
That's the worst I always say when kids. When someone
breaks our kids' hearts, whether it's a friend or a
little boyfriend or a little girlfriend or a teacher, something
that happens to them, it affects us as parents ten
times more.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Than it affects those kids. So we're going to keep
having this conversation.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
If you want to join in on the conversation, and
it looks like Kayden, you might be on the line there,
we will take your phone calls.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
So stay with us, everybody. We will be right back
here on six' TEN wtv in you, guys hear the song.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Out the best thing about being a girl dad is
what anyone just jump in there the.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Hugs that's a good.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Answer, yeah that's the.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
BEST i kind OF i would agree with. THAT i
kind of like the, UH i don't, know the relationships
that that you start to develop with all of the
other girls, Too like when you when you see him
out and around and they run up and they all
want to give you a hug and they all want
to talk to, you AND i just think IT'S i
think it's.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Great he really does take a.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Village really, Yeah and you guys seem like such a
close knit group of dads with your. GIRLS i, mean
that's a lot of people don't have what you guys.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Have we lucked out definitely real we met all these,
guys we were, like thank. You, YEAH i, mean.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Our girls would like sleep.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
It they'll do a sleep Over, Friday, Saturday.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Sunday everybody's different, house you, know and it's never like you,
know so there's no. Issue it's like, okay. Fine SO i,
mean and you, know and LIKE i said, before you
feel so safe knowing where they are and who's there
watching over, them whether it's there their dads or the
moms are great, Too so it's just such a nice.
Feeling it just takes a little bit of the worry
(11:59):
out of.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Things so we talked earlier when you guys first came
into the studio about and you were blatantly honest that,
yeah you're guys and you wanted a, son.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Especially the first sport you.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
WANT i think most dads feel that, Way Doctor, cohen
you do not have a.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Son some of these dads. Do do you.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Feel like you got cheated or do you miss out
on anything with just having?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Girls not at.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
ALL i, mean you, know it's you, KNOW i had
two brothers growing, up you, know SO i mean for,
me it was just you, know having, healthy right children
and just watch you, Know it's just it's it's a.
LOVE i, mean it's just like LIKE i tell people
every day when you're day job is not as good
as your dad, job you. KNOW i, MEAN i LOVE
(12:40):
i love being a dad more THAN i love anything.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Else i'm so glad you said, that because that's number
one most important. Thing you got to have healthy kids
and just accept What god gives. You If god wants
you to have a, son you're gonna have a. Son
If god wants you to have a, daughter or if
he wants you to have. Both you, know we've been
blessed in our life that our son was. Born oh my,
gosh isn't. Here In october he'll be twenty four years.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Old and the next, year.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
A year and a week, later we had our, daughter
but it's it's a competition thing and you accept What
god gives. You but growing up as watching, siblings watching
my son and, daughter, yeah it gets very. Heated it
gets very very. Competitive do you guys feel like you've
missed out not having a, son the ones that don't
have a, Son, NO i don't think.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
SO i you, know Like brian, said JUST i just
want to have healthy, kids watch them grow, up you,
know just watch them, developing the young. Women AND i
THINK i think it's.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
AWESOME i think you nailed it when you said a
lot of guys want that boy because they were. Athletes
you guys are probably, athletes so you in vision watching
your son play, football watching your son play baseball or.
Basketball but, anymore the athletics, world the sports world has
changed so much with women doing absolutely everything in. Anything you,
(13:53):
know there was never THE wnba like it is. Now you,
know there's professional softball. Now it's changed the game where
it does allow you guys to watch your daughters also
thrive in, sports not just in.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Life you, know to that. Point one thing that's been
great for me personally is having. Daughters the things that
they DO i have no experience, in SO i can
just sit and just be a spectator and. Go let
me soak this. In and they teach me instead of you,
know with my, Son, Okay i've got to teach him,
football how to hit a.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Baseball you got to tell him when he's doing something, wrong.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Doing something, wrong and all. This AND i watch what
these girls. Do To john's, point like the things that
they do from a physical standpoint are blowing the boys,
away really blowing the boys. Away my daughter and my
son will compete back and. Forth YESTERDAY i said this
in the. KITCHEN i, said go downstairs to the chin up.
BAR i said this to my son is. FIFTEEN i,

Speaker 3 (14:59):
Go you, know is your daughter listening to this conversation.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
To sitting right? There just this, wife she Was my
wife is ultra, competitive. Guys, yeah, Yes i'm usually the
one that's got to like walk away and just let
my wife do her. Things Like i'll just be down

guys need, Me i'm out of.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Here so what.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Happened oh he Turned no, way he. Wasn't he knows
the story and how that movie. Ends he wasn't going
to go compete with her because she can pound for,
pound is way stronger than now she's she's smaller than.
Him well sure, stature he's six, foot you know, whatever
but she is so all these girls are so. Strong
they walk around they have eight, packs not six. PACKS
i mean they can, tumble the things that they can
(15:40):

want to go do some core work or push, ups
they will smoke. You and then they do these sports
though that You're it's one thing if they play soccer
and everything, else but you, know when they get into
cheer and tumbling and you watch what they're, doing we
all hold our breath like land, it.
Speaker 3 (15:57):

Speaker 6 (15:59):
Safely and then when they get, hurt like my, daughter you,
know stress fraction in our. Back you don't know that
