For The Dads - First Episode | Will Compton Opens Up About Fatherhood & Being A Girl Dad

Former NFL Linebacker (10 years) Will Compton presents a Bussin With The Boys production, For The Dads! Along side future dad, Sherman Young, Will a father of two knows how hard the job of a father can be. Thus he created a safe space for dads to come together and talk about the insane shit that we see and deal with every day. With Sherman's first born just 6 weeks away, Will Compton is attempting to show him the ropes and call all dads together to join in a safe space for us to vent and speak candidly about the mental load and tasks we take on as dads. Will tells the story of his oldest daughter falling down the stairs, while Sherman is battling with a 32 week pregnant wife (not advisable). The boys then Crack A Cold Bud Light over the small victory of Will's family tradition, Pizza Friday. A VERY special dad calls in to ask Will a hard hitting question followed by Will introducing some "must reads" for fathers to have in their tool belts. Sherman breaks down what a "freedom baby" is to Will, and Will wraps it all up with a heartfelt "Lesson of the Week". We hope you enjoy!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, let's crush. Let's crush. Are we already in it?

(00:03):
Can we just go? Yeah? Welcome to for the dads.
This is a show by a dad, by as soon
to be future Yeah, future Dad for the dads. I
guess we should start by introducing ourselves before we do.
As you guys are watching this, listening to this, consuming this.

(00:24):
I know at some point we will have a separate channel,
whether that be on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Pods, wherever you
get your podcasts, be on the lookout for that. I
know you guys are listening to this. I'm Busting with
the Boys right now, but if you're showing up to
tune in for some good dad talk, make sure you subscribe.
That helps support the boys. It's easy for you to do,
and we love also leave comments because we will absolutely

(00:45):
love hearing your guys' feedback as we go through this
first episode. My name is Will Compton. I played Guaranteed
nine years in the League, debatably ten. I am the
co creator of Busting with the Boys. I am a
full time dad. I am a husband and my wife
Charle Charro Compton. Sorry, your boy is super nervous for this.

(01:09):
This is a project that is very near and dear
to both mine and Sherm's heart. It's something that I
know we are super excited about. But at the same time,
with this being our first episode, we're kind of in
a different studio. Lights are off. This being our first one,
it's very nerve wrecking. But my wife and I we
have two beautiful daughters, Cirulian Bell and Scottie Joe Lee.

(01:29):
And with me, who is the producer of the show,
he will also be very pivotal for the show is
Sherman Young. Sherman, would you like to introduce yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Hello, My name is Sherman, producer here at Busting with
the Boys. I'll be producing on the show. Talking a
little bit with Will. I helped produce on the bus
as well, do some edits in the back of the
bus with the boys. And it's been like two almost
two years now that been with Busting with the Boys.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
You guys, you brought you in. Jilly Bean, shout out,
Jilly Bean.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Shout out.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Bit about me played one year of high school football,
arguably two married for a year and some change to
my wife Jilly Bean or Jill Young. In future future, Dad,
I have a baby on the way, and I have
some news on that, so I don't want to like

(02:20):
spoil it, but I got some you got some updates.
I got some breaking updates, did you guys?

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Came up from Texas.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Came up from Texas from Fort Worth, Alito to be
more specific if you're from the DFW area. And yeah,
just kind of was sending memes and stuff on Twitter
to Will and Taylor and barraging. We have Garrett here too,
that's helping us with the cameras. Was in Garrett's DMS,
everybody's dms. Just busting. Please hire me. I've been in

(02:50):
like film production for quite a while and then commercial
production as well. Did some directing and producing and we'll
get into that.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, you have a bad ass of mine, and you
crush it with busting with the boys. You're going to
crush off for the dads. I feel like you your
positive energy that I feel like people have gotten glimpses of.
I'm very excited for you to kind of co host
this show with me.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm excited to I just to talk nerves as well.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Logan nerves, both guys, nervous.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Both nervous. Logan, who's a third party guy, that helps
a time with Busting with the Boys. He kept on
popping his head in before we hit the record button.
It was like, hey, last bit of uh, you know,
just some advice before y'all start rolling. And he asked
you if you were more nervous, like first time with
Busting with the Boys or first time with this, and
you said you were more nervous for Busting with the Boys.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah. I feel like before the show, I was more
nervous for Busting with the Boys because that was it
was a very brand new project. It was the first
thing I've ever stepped out and done anything else in
other than football. But now that I'm sitting here talking
on this show for the first time, I'm thinking the
nerves might be a little bit higher for the dads.
Oh really yeah, yeah, yeah, just because again, bro, like
we're we're very excited about standing up the show talking

(04:05):
dad life, and we will get into that. I know
we're kind of rambling along right now. Yeah, but yeah,
it's just it's sick. It's it's cool that we have
you know, we started with the vision, We've had a
shit ton of help, like shout out the Boy, Garrett,
shout out Logan, shout out, Yeah, shout out the whole
team behind the scenes, like standing this brand up, we
have merchandise. It's really cool and I feel like I

(04:28):
feel like there's a space for more like dad conversations.
I always enjoy, you know, listening to dad podcasts. I
enjoy consuming content and we can get into like why
does this podcast exist? And essentially for me, it's spoiler alert.
I'm really into fatherhood. I love it. I hate it
at times. I think there's a lot of suck that

(04:48):
goes into it because there's a lot of intention you
have to put into it, and that is difficult to
do when you are trying to balance you know, running
the business of bus with the boys, like work life balance,
you know, thinking about your marriage and not losing yourself
so much in your marriage because you're so focused on
the kids. Also trying to focus on communicating with the kids.
Like I grew up in a household to where it
was three boys and my mom was very you know,

(05:11):
strong willed and tough, and I grew up around a
lot around a lot of boy energy, football kid growing
up all the sports, all the things. And when you
have your wife who is a you know, a former cheerleader.
She now operates the Bar three. She owns the Bar
three studios here in Nashville. Shout out, Shout out my dog,
my beautiful dog, Waffle, our English bulldog female two little girls.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Rue.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
She is absolutely obsessed with princesses right now. And you
also thinking about outside of the work life balance, communicating
and being involved, being intentional with your marriage. You're also
thinking about how you communicate with two little girls where
you have like no experience to do. So. I find
myself gravitating a lot towards I've always been a podcast guy,
but listen to podcast conversations, diving into books, whether it's

(05:55):
for sleep training, whether it's the Daily Dad, I find
myself just gravitating towards a lot of dad content. And
I feel like when I hear dads or people speak
on parenthood, whether it's mom's, dad's, anybody, I find myself,
you know, able to kind of grab a lot of
perspective for my own situations, to where you're sitting in

(06:16):
the truck and you're like, yes, you go through that
shit too, and you got you go home and you
kind of tell your wife, Hey, you know, buddy over
here he was doing this or Hey, this couple did this,
or here's a little wrinkle that we could be dealing
with rue you know, my whole Instagram algorithm. I feel
like it's all parenthood. And I've always been being in
the content, being in the media space. It's you want
to create things that you're a consumer of, and I'm

(06:37):
a massive consumer of parenthood. I'm a massive consumer of fatherhood.
And I feel like that's why I had a big
itch and I felt a big pool to stand up
a show like this.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
You too echo going off what you're saying with my
tweet that I put out when we did like launch
the trailer, I type that tweet out five hundred times
because I was trying to evoke like how passionate you
are about this subject, And every single time I wrote
it down, I was like, God, I can't put it
into words. But when I first started at Busting and

(07:11):
you would ask me to like connect and go to
coffee with you, it would initially it was about like
busting and how's moving you know, across the nation, blah
blah blah, but our conversation would always land on, hey,
are you and Jill thinking about kids? And we would
just like you be.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Hey, you really when you were posting these photos of Ru,
You're really getting You're really getting Jilly being in the
fever right now. I go, I'm gonna have to get
you to slow down. Bro.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Rue is way too cute and Jill is like truly
was struck with baby fever from Rue.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
And that was a.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Massive problem that I was facing and in myself being
like I feel like I'm inadequate. I don't feel like
I'm there. Financially, I don't feel like I'm there. Maybe
like maturity wise, am I ready to be a dad?
Like I'm gonna have to be my life is over
and that's all about this other thing, yeah, this other
human But seeing the way that you and Taylor balance

(08:05):
work and family, I was like, I can't have a career.
I can have friends. I could be passionate about my
career but also be a great dad. And that's what
made me really want to pick your brain in those
coffees of like, hey, like how is it? Blah blah blah.
But the way that you lock in when you talk
about being a dad, it's like you're breaking down being

(08:27):
in the a gap like you get you really do,
like you break it down like it's film. When you
come back from like a great conversation with Charro or
some life lesson that you learn with ru hearing you
talk about it with just people in the office. That's
what made me believe in the show. I was like, dude,
he does this every day already, because I.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Realized who It's like, we're all going to fuck it
up often. Oh, be easy with the coaster. We're all
going to fuck it up often, and nobody has it
figured out, and there's no perfect formula. And there's times
where you're like in the whole parenthood conversations and you
feel like there's like a perfect way you have to
come off like you're doing it right or maybe you know,
I know people deal with you know, how much screen

(09:08):
time should they have? When you get your kids down
to sleep, Like you know, you might feel like your
child is sleeping well, and you might know a friend
that has a child the same exact age and they're
not getting a lot of sleep at night, and you
just you feel like, whether it's guilt or show, you
just there's so many emotions and you just realize we're
all trying to figure it out. I feel like that's
that's what the show is, sharing experience together, fucking it

(09:29):
up together, figuring it out together, and just showing up
the next day. Because that is that is like parenthood
in a nutshell. Yeah, because there's gonna be there's just
gonna be all that chaos. There's a lot of fun,
there's a lot of chaos. So I can get into
a whole entire Rosemary trip last week because it was
you know, you got a three year old, Now you
have a six month old. You're pack in the car,

(09:49):
you're doing all this stuff, you have an eight hour drive.
Like it is chaos at times Broyeah for just little
moments of when you're sitting on the beach and you're
just like and you finally have a calm moment and
you're like, this is why you do it. And then
you just that night when you're trying to put them
to bed, You're trying to do bedtime, you're trying to
feed him, you're trying to do all the things. Can
I watch can I watch little bear? Can I do this? Hey?

(10:09):
We got to go to bed. And then it's chaos
again until the next day, until you get to that
next moment wary you're like ah, this is this is
it right here? This is the life?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Oh yeah, and we could segue into actually, so how
the show will operate is will have an intro like this, yes,
and then we have like four to five segments that
will kind of cycle.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Through each week.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yep, it'll never be permanent of like which ones, but
we wanted to give you all like a little taste,
a little flavor of some of our segments. And to
start out, great segue, motherfucked first segment.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yes, yes, yes, motherfucker. And just to again, what's a
little what's a little? The catching thing at the bottom,
the warning sign at the bottom. It's like, this is
in no way shape or form a podcast for expert
advice on parenting. There's your You're expecting father, You're about
to be in it? Is the camera good?

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, I was in a banner, You're about to be
in it. But at the end of the day, it's
like I have a three year old and a six
month old, Like, I don't know what it's like to
have a four year old. I don't know what it's
like to have a teenager. I don't know what it's
like to have an adult child. There's a lot that
we still have to learn and figure out. But that's
that's what this that's what this show is. Here is
for us to kind of deliver our own experiences in
a very unpolished way and also give a voice for

(11:26):
the dads who carry their own mental load. We need
it and we need it.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
In the comments, that was some of my favorite comments
with the launch trailer was like.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Boys, we need this.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yeah yeah, the third party boys, we've needed this to
need it.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Oh yeah, bro, hell yeah, dad lives matter too. Dad
lives matter too. Come on, but yeah, we're gonna share stories,
maybe build around a topic or the week, build a
community around call ins, stories via email, engaging on social media.
Is talk about our dad wins and losses, balancing life, vulnerable, shit.
Will be laughing a lot, things that we can crack
a cold bud light two and just having a good time.

(12:03):
And at the end of every episode we will close
out with a quote, a mantra, or a lesson that
we feel like we've enjoyed recently and every now and then.
This isn't gonna be a show to where it's interview
based and we're gonna bring on dads every week similar
to what you guys recognize with busting with the boys,
that'll happen at times when the time is right. Maybe
it's bonus content, but we really want this to kind

(12:24):
of build community with the dads out there, share our
stories and engage with with with everybody online.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
And you're gonna kick off. Motherfucked dude.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Motherfucked So Motherfucked is a segment where it's essentially your
dad losses. Whether it's your wife giving you a stern
talking to about something you might have done wrong or
something you fell short for, or whether it's those moments
to where the words that come out of her mouth
is you always do X, And I just think in
my mind, I don't always do that. I just fell

(12:56):
short this one time. But look at the growth I've had.
You know, I'll pull back years, I'll pull by you.
Remember you remember when we had the townhouse. I was terrible. Yeah. Yeah.
You get the report card out, you get the scoreboard,
and when you get in the scoreboard, that's when it
more so goes downhill. You realize, like marriage and parenthood's
all about communication, yes, uh, but getting in our motherfuck segment,

(13:16):
if I if I explain my first real dad loss,
I'm sure there were others, but one that stands out
is Rue was around i'd say eight to ten months old.
She was crawling and we were upstairs for our little
morning routine. We got the little birds playing on the

(13:36):
sound machine. We're getting it ready for the day, and
she's crawling around and it's one of those things where
I'm like giving her the faces and I'm crawling after her,
like I'm chasing her, and she's starting to get it
a little bit. But she starts crawling for the door,
and I'm thinking she's gonna go to the door, turn
around and come back like she always does. And so
I'm kind of waiting on the Carpetcause it's hardwood floor,

(13:57):
Like I'm on my hands and knees. You know, the
knees got a little bit of damage from the old
playing days, remaining on the carpet ten years. She starts
to leave the doorway crawling, and so I'm like, oh,
you know, you think they're a lot smarter than they
are at that DA's. But I'm like, oh, she's hiding
from dead da And so I start crawling like I'm
gonna get you, and I go outside of her door
and her her room is on the second floor right

(14:20):
outside sits right at the top of a flight of stairs.
Big flight of stairs.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Is it the house that you're currently in, Yes, big
flight of stair.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
You guys are there shooting that trailer. Big flight of stairs.
So she goes around this doorway and I'm like, oh,
Dad is gonna get you. And I go around like, okay,
I need to pick it up because I need to
get my eyes on her. And I get around and
I'm still on my hands and knees and she's about
to step off. She's about to crawl off the top
flight of stairs. And in my head, I'm like, surely
she sees that this is not good. And so I say,

(14:51):
she was like eight to ten months old. Bro, No,
she wasn't walking yet, she was crawling, so probably around
that ten month part. And I see you start to go,
and so I stand up and bro she it starts
down the stairs. I'm like chasing her down the stairs,
like looking down like I'm in a war movie, running
side next to her, trying to get to where I
feel comfortable enough reaching down to get her up. By
the time I grab her, she's three fourths of the
way down that flight of stairs to where you were.

(15:14):
You know, she had some thoughts like, oh, red Mark,
she's crying. My wife was in the room with us,
and we're standing down there and I'm just rocking on
my Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I thought I
killed her. And I'm just thinking in my head, like
surely millions of babies fall all the time, Like we
always talk about, joke with your boys, you must have
got dropped on your head when you were younger. This
is just one of those moments. This is just one
of those moments.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
What was the initial like as soon as you pick
her up, Like, what was the very first thing you
checked her? Very first thing?

Speaker 1 (15:39):
You said? Nothing, I'm a hugging her, sweetheart. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. Dead is so sorry. I'm right here,
I'm right here. She's crying like it's not a tantrum,
but she's like screaming crying because she's clearly hurt. But yeah,
like lumps that was like raising from her head in
like three different spots on her head. But that was
probably my first big dad loss. And you know I
didn't get cursed out, but it's one of those as

(16:00):
we were standing around mom like this was on your watch. Yeah,
you know what I mean. That's when I felt really low,
as like, damn, this was all my fault.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Is Charia the kind of energy where when she's quiet,
it's even worse, like if you don't get that tongue lashing.
It's almost like the feeling of remorse, of like or
of no.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Because she'll let me know with Charro what we'll talk
about in our in our couple's therapy is more of
I can't take it when it gets to the moment
that she is overwhelmed and annoyed by something that either
I had done or something that's going on, to where
she just starts like picking up the house. Hey, what
do you want to do with this? And it's Sunday night.
I'm just thinking, do we gotta do this shit right now?
We just got the kids down, Like, can't we just

(16:41):
sit down and relax? That's me, Well you haven't, you haven't.
I've told you about these boxes for for months. I'm
just thinking about don't mention the doing boxes right now.
I just want to watch a TV show because where
you're like taking a load off, But it's more of
like those moments is where she's kind of like letting
me know. But in that moment, it's like we both
know what happened. Yes, I obviously feel terrible, So I

(17:03):
wasn't like cursed, It wasn't anything like that. You just
feel like that was my first big dad loss of fatherhood.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Well, and she probably didn't want to like put all
the blame on you in the moment, because then that's
something that's like gonna live with you for you.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Know, however long.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, she handled it. Sounded like she handled it really nice.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, it's like, if you know, I can't think of
an example where she's like messed up, or if I
hear her yell, like when it gets to a point
to where you're trying to commune, I mean, these are
little terrorists you're trying to communate with, very irrational, they're
trying to handle their big emotions. Ru is very determined
and independent, so she has like that she knows what
she wants, and if she can't do it on her own,

(17:44):
she gets extremely upset with herself, which is extremely upset
about it can't get figured out, and you know, you
get those moments where you kind of you lose yourself
and you just yell back because you're you're just on
a breaking point. You're trying to be as patient as possible,
and you're just on a breaking point. It's where you're
just like, I don't know what you want, and when

(18:04):
I hear her yell, I'm all right, Dad, I need
to go upstairs. I need to try to get the
situation calm down. And you're not trying to loan on
the fact. Hey, you know you shouldn't be yelling at
her because it's like we already know what's happening. Yeah,
you're not trying to cause more pain and blame somebody.
But it's more like that's that's kind of how our
conversations will go. Like if we have a low moment
and it's like, hey, you forgot this. I literally told

(18:26):
you so many times, like you forgot this and here's why,
And it's probably because you were on your phone.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Quick quick thing that you just remind me of during
that story, of like the patience that you've built up.
One thing I've noticed about myself of like assumed to
be dad, is whenever I'm around Dad's and their kids
are there too, I just kind of pick up on
things like I'm looking for things like little learns and
tidbits whatever. Jeremy that's here in our office has two

(18:54):
boys here and an older daughter. But his two boys
are in the office all the time, and whenever he's
talking to me, JJ will be in the distance. It
Dad Dad Sherman, Dad Dad Sherman, and Jeremy's just locked
in talking like this, nothing's going on. If I then
like answer back to him and JJ's Sherman Sherman, I

(19:16):
have to go, yeah, what's up, buddy. When we were
at breakfast the other morning and Rue was doing the
same thing to you, and we're like having a serious
conversation about this podcast, you're just locked in and you're
looking at me and you're talking to me, and Ru's like,
I don't want sir up on my French shows, and
You're like okay, honey, and you're still like eye contact. Yeah, dude,

(19:37):
I looked away a million times. I could tell that
even you were like, Man, Sherman kind of folds the
root pretty quick, like.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Dude, Which is so funny that you bring that up,
because I'm sitting there in my mind like Sherman stopped
talking to her, like stop engaging. I could tell that
because whenever we get to a break. Whenever we get
to a moment of a break, it's gonna be like, hey, sweetheart,
you know dad has talking like, let's have you, let's
exercise a little bit of patience. But I'm thinking, surem
stopp looking over and engaging with her and putting her
stickers on the little sticker.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Book sherman, where's elefant go? And I'm like, all right,
here would be great, and you're you wouldn't move, you
would just stay locked in, like, once you're do with
that sticker, come back, let's talk.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Do you Obviously you don't have one yet. But with Jill,
what what are you guys expecting?

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Okay, well, can we dive in? We can dive in.
But I was gonna save it for the what are
the odds?

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Okay, all right, we can save it. Okay, But I
was gonna say, I do have a question? Was gonna
be Yeah, like you and your journey of pregnancy right now,
obviously hormones are flowing. Your wife works, she works a lot,
she's in the what does your wife do?

Speaker 4 (20:42):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (20:42):
She's an r N so she's a registered nurse. Yes,
works here in Nashville. She's a grinder pediatric.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, Yeah. So she's a grinder, deals with a lot
of her own stuff at work. She does having to
juggle those hormones. You're you know, you're a spark plug,
You're a ball life, You're a great energy. Yeah. How's
it been for you in the in the in the
pregnancy journey?

Speaker 2 (21:02):
I okay, So I hear it all the time from
Jill that I get it really easy.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
She's like, I.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Give you so much slack. I'm a pretty easy wife.
Like I'm a pretty easy pregnant wife, I promise you. Uh,
Like when I'm talking to my girls and I'm hearing
stories like sureman, you could have it way worse. And
it's not like I'm running around the house going like
why are you fucking blowing up on me all the time?
Because she isn't but a really good It just happened

(21:29):
to be the weekend before we record this.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
You hit her with I think you got it pretty
easy too, Like I'm pretty easy going.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
I am pretty Like I am pretty easy. I'm messy
as fuck, but like as far as like a sunshiny
disposition of life, Like I feel like she's got pretty
good too. But I'm definitely the lucky one in the relationship.
Don't get that right.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Hey, no matter what this podcast, we're gonna vent, We're
gonna bitchy, but no matter what, we have to, we
have to got to get that first episode, first episode,
first episod. But we're always gonna follow it up with hey, sweete.
You know, baby, baby, if you're listening right now, you
know I love you. You know I'm the lucky one, you know.
But this is also I want you to know. This
is a safe space for dats. This is a safe space.

(22:11):
We're gonna pretend that our wives aren't watching this. Oh,
I'm gonna do our best, okay, because it is scary
to think we could be in hot water every week.
Oh yeah, And I had to have a talk with
her the other night, like before we're recording this. I
was like, I have a really good motherfucked story. She's like,
I don't, are you gonna talk? Yeah, You're like, do
you care if I share it? How sweet? I'm gonna
let you know because you're always kind of haveing the

(22:32):
same talk. I'm like, I'm gonna exaggerate some stories a
little bit. Yeah, just no, I'm always gonna find my
way back to your sweetheart.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
We're gonna find our way back. And she knew exactly
what I was talking about too. She was like, you're
gonna talk about daycare shopping.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
I was like yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
She was like, yeah, you can tell that story.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
That's okay, let's hear it. Okay.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
So, uh, we're shopping for daycares. Jill's thirty two weeks
I believe, or like thirty one going into thirty two
weeks pregnant, and we're looking at daycares. We're kind of
new to the scene. I've been texting you a little
bit about it.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
But world tough, world, dude, ahead of time.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Expensive is fuck, dude. Yes, the best deal that we
have now, like the one that we decided on. It's
twice a week and it's eight hundred dollars a month.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
But you go in, dude, these daycares. When you walk
into them, it's like a cute zoo. It's like a
zoo but of just cuteness, dude. And they have them
like it's almost like they have them fully trained when
you walk in to like look out the classroom window
and be like and way, so you're waving out all
these like little two something three something year olds and
you're like, oh my god, they're so cute, Like that's

(23:44):
what mine's going to be, Like it's gonna have good
table manners and YadA YadA. That whole experience was phenomenal.
I love daycare shopping, and I selfishly am not going
to shout out the daycare that we chose because I'm
on a wait list and I'm trying to get in
that mug. Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna yes, yeah, yeah,
So I'm not gonna name it specifically, but once we're

(24:04):
in there, I will gladly shout them out. But yeah,
the motherfuck situation was essentially I should have woken up
at six thirty and started getting breakfast going because my
girl just wanted to look pretty. She's wanted to take
her time in the shower, she wants to pick out
her outfit, she wants to have her makeup all done
so she looks like a really good future mommy, and

(24:25):
she wants her husband to do the same. So it's like,
we are normal humans. You should totally let us have
our kid be in your daycare because we're going to
multiple daycares that day. Slept in like till the last second.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Day that's terms Achilles. Heel right there, that'll he This
dude could have a tornado siren going off in his
room and he won't wake up.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Jill is literally going like this right now, She's She's like,
thank you will She allegedly allegedly shook me like she's
trying to get me up. But I gave her the
once I was awake, I was looking at my phone
and I gave her the honey, hey, just one second,
I'm watching this last thing, and I promise you I
have my outfit picked out.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
We're all good.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
We weren't all good. We were late headed out of
the house. And for any guy out there that has kids,
any dads right now or future dads with a pregnant wife,
you cannot miss breakfast because that stomach starts hurtin And
she just turned into the angriest mama bear she has
ever been. And I got a tongue lashing on the
way to the daycares about I'm not responsible and just

(25:32):
like the you always do this, hers is you never
do that.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
So she was saying, it's always the permanent words always, never, never.
She said, you have done nothing in the preparation of
our daughter. On the way too, on the way to
the daycare, which in my head, that is not true.
Did it sting?

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, it's stung, But I swallowed it because I've learned, like, you.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Gotta take listen, this is your mental load. It's starting
to stack up. You gotta take this. You gotta take
the hits, and I'm taking the You're in the A
gap right now.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Oh yeah, dude, I'm like death gripping the wheel and
I'm driving down was it for forty? G The head's west,
I'm heading down four forty west and I'm just locked
in here and she's I'm getting it so bad, and
I'm like, I just I gotta let her have her
moment and get this out. But I did make the
mistake of I said hey, honey, and she sobbed, and

(26:30):
I go, I want you to know I'm listening to
you right now, and I think about eighty five percent
of what you're saying are really good points. But you
don't have to yell at me right now. We can
just talk. And she that sparked it a bit more,
which I you know, it's just hilarious.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
IM thinking, Hey, it's a nice little yes, it's a
nice little point of trying to defuse it.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
But we we get to the we get to the
parking lot.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
And trying to figure out, oh, I thought that was
pretty good for you on game. I thought yeah. I
was like, oh shit, he gotta put me on some games.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
You put me on game, so I'll take that's a compliment.
But we get to the parking lot and long story short,
she's wiping her makeup plans, her makeup off, and we
did a really good job of acting like we have
We have never fought a day in our lives, and
we're the happiest couple ever, and look at our little
bundle of joy that's coming. And I had a great line.
She loves scary movies. She loves some movie theaters. So

(27:29):
we had talked obviously. After the daycare, we worked things
out and she apologized. But at the movies, when she
was all happy with their popcorn, I said, hey, I
do just want to apologize. I am a really bad husband.
I don't think I've done anything to prepare for Scarlet.
And she picked up some popcorn and tossed it at me,

(27:49):
and she was like, if that's my only blow up
on you as a pregnant woman, like, consider yourself lucky.
I was like, all right, I'll take it.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yeah, so we're all good. Out of the fire.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
We're out of the fire.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
You got out of the fire.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Yeah, we can segue to crack a cold one.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, let's talk about it. Let's talk about a positive
Let's talk talk about something that we would crack a
cold one too. Mine is going to be pizza Friday.
I think having a weekly ritual with the fam is
uh is important. It's something that we started early because
in in the world the world moves fast. Man. You

(28:24):
talk to any dad, you talk to anybody the generation
before you, the consensus is always the phrase. It goes
by fast. Enjoy it. Yeah, And I think for me,
in a world where everything moves fast, with appointments, work meetings,
phone calls, again, marriage, you're trying to juggle a lot
of the chaos going on, Pizza Friday is something that

(28:47):
that we've leaned on to where hey, this is where
we kind of show up as a family, you know,
I know it Like dads in our minds at times,
we think we have to show up for something big
to matter, whether we're fixed something, whether we're providing, whether
we're saving the day, and you begin to realize that
parenthood and being intentional is about like showing up in

(29:09):
those small consistencies. Yeah, and pizza Friday is one of
those for us because I know, growing up, for me,
a lot of my fondest memories are being in the
backyard for barbecues. My dad loved throwing throwing meat on
the grill, my mom loved making sides, we loved having
friends over, and I just vividly have those are some
of my best memories. And it's something that I remember

(29:30):
anytime that I'm grilling or at a grill out or
a cookout, whatever the case is. It's like, subconsciously in
my mind, I'm always I'm always thinking back to when
we had these family barbecues because we would have them
often at least, like you know, when it's summertime, you're
having them a couple times a month, and Alder brothers
are out there, right yeah yeah yeah yeah. And so

(29:50):
for us, like for Pizza Fridays, I always take Roue.
She gets in the car with Dad. We order from
our favorite spot, and I will shout out the local
the local spot, Home Team Pizza. We put it in
an order for Home Team pizza. I take rue. It's
kind of our time to spend together to where we go.
We go inside, she talks to everybody. We get the pizza,

(30:11):
we bring it home. I live rou carry the little
whether it's a little bag of buckeyes, shout out hate
you guys got shot out the buckeye, whether it's the
little bag of buckeyes or the small box of like
their little breadstick bites, O real, carry the small one
in and every time she walks in the door, Mama,
we're home. It's pizza Friday, and we enjoy whatever the

(30:34):
movie it is. So it's like, what when my kids
get older, you know, they won't always remember the toys
or the lectures that their old man gave them, because
I'll probably be giving probably be giving a lot of lectures.
But I want them to remember the times that they
spent together as a family to where my daughter's got

(30:54):
it in the car with dad. They drove to go
pick up pizza, and we brought home the smell of
pizza and we shared laugh, whether it's tears, whatever it was,
we enjoyed a movie together as a family. And that's
how we show up each week as a family. We're
not always consistent where we hit it every Friday, but
every Friday that we're home, any Friday that we might
be on the road together at a vacation together, pizza

(31:15):
Fridays is a staple for like a weekly ritual for
the family. So that's kind of my crack of cold
one too. That's kind of like my one of the
staples in our family.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
It feels consistent as hell, like seeing it on social
media just as a like third party outside of it,
it seems like y'all are doing that every Friday. And
I love the idea of like traditions to you if
y'all kind of creating traditions and you'll know too.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
It's like consistency and routine is big for kids knowing
like hey, guess what today is? And you know, it
might be Monday and it's gymnastics day or Wednesday and
it's swim day for Rue, But anytime you're just like, hey,
guess what day it is, she's just always like pizza Friday.
It's like, okay, no, that's after two more sleeps, but
they know when it's Friday, it is pizza Friday. Yeah,

(32:03):
So that's my uh crack cole one that's my crack
of cold one.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
I actually I wasn't going to do a crack a
cold one, but I do have a crack a cold
one for you.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Oh yeah, so you don't have one. You don't have
one the first episode, you don't have one this week
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Well, I like had one that I was kind of finagle,
but to go off of, I'll crack a cold one
to you because you did an incredible job. You were
charo uh with Rue when we were over to film
that trailer of when Ree wanted to teach me and
how she tells the world good morning, and that might
have been a top five cutest thing I've ever seen

(32:47):
in my life of her picking up a footstool, moving
it to the window, throwing open the curtains like a
Disney character, and she's just a good morning world, so
loud and so confident, and I love that. Charlie was like,
we haven't done that in a minute, yeah with real
or maybe you said that, I can't remember, but yeah,

(33:08):
you did it enough to where it's.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
In there, like Yeah, it's like when they're little and
they're starting to figure things out and you're trying to
like keep them in a routine of how mourning works.
Like we'll have the sound machine and when she wakes up,
we'll turn it to the birds chirping, just to like
get her psyche in the mindset of like, hey, we're
we're doing the morning routine. So you pick her up
out of the crib when she couldn't walk, and you'd
just be like high world and do all these things.
So that way they know that you're starting to like

(33:31):
you're starting to like manufacture this hard wiring of how
each day works. But yeah, it had been a minute
since i'd seen her do the whole good Morning world,
but I knew she wanted to show you her room. Dude,
that was unreal. She's wanting to give you an entire
tour of the house. It is. Hey, sweet, we got
a film, we got a film trail. If you're gonna
be a part of this, we'll give you a role. Yeah,
we gave her the director role. Yeah yeah, yeah, oh

(33:52):
say action. Then you gotta stay quiet because she's wanting
to play the whole time. She wants to playhide and seek.
You guys are there. She thinks everybody's there for her.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
She loved heyt out Uncle Brad by the way Upogs,
we didn't shot you out before? That was the Dad
and the launch trailer. One of Will's good friends but
shot out Uncle Brad. Do you want to let him
know what crack? A cold one is brought to us.

Speaker 1 (34:12):

is like a middle of the break show.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
You know, I like that idea, especially if our sponsors
aren't attached to the segments just yet, that we go
ahead and knock out the next sponsor. But you had
a good idea of kicking it to the audience in
the comments for them to let us know.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Yeah, whether you'd like it earlier in the show. Middle
of the show kind of broken up the way we
do busting with the boys. But our second one, it's
a horny one. It is a Row for the Dads,

(36:40):
I don't think there's anything more for the dads. Yeah, truly,
I'm with you. I'm with you.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
I know.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
We got a little product recommendation, Yeah, little survival kit action.
What guy's in the survival kit?

Speaker 2 (36:53):
We got dad hacks, We got dad hacks, we got
survival kit. We do just time wise. I don't know
if we want to skip over those and tell the
audience a little bit about the call in features, because
I feel like that's gonna maybe we they have to
come in next week to see how Survival Kit and
Dad Hacks works.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yes, So for the dads out there listening right now,
for everybody watching the show, the way that we're gonna
involve you guys is we have a hotline number. It
is six oh one the Dads, six oh one the Dads.
You will call in. You will leave a voicemail, and
it can be about something you crack, a cold one too,
maybe a big dad loss, maybe a time you got

(37:32):
motherfucked by your daughter, by your son, by your wife,
or maybe you were motherfucking yourself and you're feeling in
the dumps and you need to get it something off
your chest. You can remain anonymous if view like, you
don't have to say your name. You can just call in.
We would love to play a voicemail each and every
week for the dads out there wanting to vent about something,
having a recommendation. Maybe you have a dad hack, Maybe

(37:52):
you have something that you can put in the Survival
Kit for dads that dads might need to know that
a lot out there might not know. And now you
have a platform, you have an audience to where you
can put dads on game, whatever it is. And again,
it could be a quote, a lesson you've learned. It
doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
You can remain anonymous.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yes, it doesn't matter. You are a dad. You're trying
to be here for the dads. You're trying to be
here for the community in whatever way you want it
to be positive negative, putting us on game whatever that is.
That is your voicemail, That is your phone call. I
do think it would be smart to do an email
one too, to where people can write it up. And
even with the call, it's not zoom, you're not you're
not showing your face, you're not doing any of that.

(38:30):
You're calling into the hotline six to oh one the
Dad's and you're leaving a voicemail.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Will what would you say if I told you even
though that number got connected three days ago, three days ago,
we have our first voicemail.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Oh, we have one. We have one.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Would you want to answer it?

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Sure? Go ahead and play it all right, we'll play
it live.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
I'll play it into the mic, and then we'll let
you take it from there.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
Okay, all right, Compton, this is this is a Hunter,
big time fan of the show, so stoked to see
what you do it for the dads. Just a question,
just a question from me. If your best friend ever
called you and asked you to play Santa Claus so
his kid could keep the beauty and the magic of

(39:18):
Christmas in their heart and keep their little childhood dreams alive,
tell me how would you handle that conversation and what
would be your best stand of impression? Once again, big fan, huge,
massive fan, your ten Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Alr bye.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
I don't know if you caught that at the beginning,
that was that was Hunter?

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Oh Hunter, that was Hunter. That was all the time
fan of the show. Yeah, close, close and dear friend
of the show.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yeah, and what he knew about year ten. So I'm
guessing he's probably a to your wine.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
It seems like he's very aware. So this man Hunter,
you know, what was this question? Again? How would I
handle being Santa Claus on the phone to his to
his kids.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
If Hunter was to call you because his kids are
I don't know if I believe in Santae anymore. Well,
let me call up Sannah right now. And you're the
person that he called, how would you handle.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
That, Sanna being real?

Speaker 2 (40:09):
No?

Speaker 1 (40:09):
No, how would how would you.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Handle role playing Sanna? If you need, I don't mind
being Hunter's kid and we can just we can run
through it right now.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
What's your name, Billy? Billy?

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Yeah, Sanna.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
Hey, Billy, I'm hearing you're having some questions about myself
being real. Oh quiet down back there, Rudolph, I'm talking
to Billy. I'm talking to Billy right now. Hey, my
little elves, can you get Billy's gifts?

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Ready?

Speaker 1 (40:43):
I know Christmas is coming up. I just have a
couple of questions that I got to answer with them.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Daddy's talking to the elves.

Speaker 5 (40:49):
Oh my gosh, Sanna, I was just wondering. Uh, my
friends at school in the lunch room, they're all picking
on me. They're all telling me that you're not real
and that I'm just a dumb kid for believing in you.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Why would they say such a thing, Billy, you're talking.
You're talking to old Santa Claus right now. I know
you're excited for Christmas. What would you like for Christmas? Billy?

Speaker 2 (41:10):
I love an Xbox.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Here's what I would Billy. Listen to me closely. Here's
what I'll tell You're gonna go back to that cafeteria.
You're gonna go back to that lunch room on your
next day of school, and you're gonna tell your friends
you spoke to Santa Claus on the phone. Yeah, you
ask for an Xbox, and if you get an Xbox
on Christmas, you're gonna tell them that that's their belief
on what they're gonna get for their toy. You're gonna
show them. You're gonna prove to them that Santa is

(41:33):
reel because you are going to get what you want
and can you do another thing for me, Billy anything Santa.
Ask them what they would like for Christmas as well,
and also mark down their address marked mark down their
address and what their parents' name might be on where
they could possibly receive this secret gift. But don't tell them,
don't tell them that Santa Claus is telling you this,
and then we will prove to them together that Santa

(41:55):
Claus is real.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
That's well done. That's well done. That was a great dude,
proving it by also getting their parents involved, because their
parents are gonna be like, who the hell is this from?
And it's gonna come and you were gonna see yeah,
say it is from Santa.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
So spoiler alert, Hunter is Taylor and Taylor. A few
years back when I did not have kids, he needed
me to talk to Win because Winn was having a
bed issue and they were trying to solve it by
her talking to Santa and then keeping the keeping the

(42:36):
life of Christmas alive and maybe helping her work on
wetting the bed. And I wet the bed on the phone.
I was in the middle of a whole Foods and
I was show, you know, you're doing all these different
things at once, so you can't like be intentional and
focus on what he actually needed from me. Yeah, And
so I handled it all wrong. I told her that
if she she didn't stop, if she didn't stop winning

(42:59):
the bed, she might I get any presents. You had
to kind of rush her out there. And then he
called me. He said, what was that, dude, I don't know.
I don't know. I panicked. I thought, you want to
understop wining the bed. I'm trying to motivate her by hey,
you're gonna get Christmas president you don't start went to bed.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
Tell me about the wedding the bed part. He just said,
you didn't you didn't do a Santa voice at all.
You answered it as well and just went yeah, hey.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
Oh, I went yeah, this is Santa Claus b. Thank
you Hunter for calling in. Thank you Hunter for calling in.
But that is kind of the idea of what we
want to do with the voicemails every week. So again,
call into the hotline six oh one. The Dad's We're
gonna wrap this up here soon. We got some little
product recommendation for your survival kit. Myself. I'll keep it short,

(43:52):
I'll keep it tight, I'll keep it right. Yeah. Yeah.
A go to for myself is every evening we down
at the dinner table and I have The Daily Dad
sitting there by. Ryan Holliday, awesome guy to look into
for the Daily Dad newsletter. He's got a book called
The Daily Dad where it gives you like three hundred
and sixty five days of different lessons in the book
that you'll like learn and it's based on through stoicism.

(44:15):
Big fan of stoicism. But the Daily Dad I would
recommend for your survival kit. And I would also recommend
the book twelve Hours in twelve weeks or twelve hours
by twelve weeks. I know I've tweeted about it before,
but parents kind of like getting into the thick of like, hey,
what's a book I can read. If your dad out
there trying to figure out something you could do to
support the wife, I strongly recommend twelve hours and twelve weeks.

(44:36):
It's like a sleep training book that is not overly aggressive.
It's the way the child can like adapt to your
life versus you adapting to everything and catering everything around them.
It's got a lot of practical ways for you to
get them sleep trained by twelve weeks. I want to say,
Rue it took her about sixteen seventeen weeks, and Scotty
was like twelve weeks, maybe even eleven. And it was
all based around the teachings and everything inside of this book.

(44:59):
Twelve hours in twelve weeks. But those would be my
survival kit recommendations for dads out there thinking about something
could do, like even for yourself, like trending toward having
your first child, or maybe your first one didn't go
well and you might be looking for something in your
second one, or you might maybe in the thick of
it now and you can dive in. Yeah, but those
would be my survival kit product recommendations. Again, the first

(45:23):
book is just The Daily Dad, Daily Dead. Yeah, and
then the next segment being a dad Hack. I would
say plan your solo time. You realize, like you were
already you juggling this around in your mind, like you know,
life being kind of over, not like not over, but
there's gonna be a lot going on to where the
life as you know it will no longer be. You

(45:44):
won't have the freedom and the free time and everything
that you kind of have. You even don't realize it.
When the baby comes home, then you start realizing all
these different things that mom might know and understand, and
you're just trying to figure out where do you fit
in the whole puzzle. Yeah, I would say planning your
solo time because you're gonna be spread then through work,
you're gonna be spread then through being at home being
supportive to where you kind of like lose time for yourself.

(46:08):
So planning your solo time, whether it's a workout an
hour a day, whether it's the time you want to
pull out the you know, the lifeline of taking a
deuce at the right time, or reading a book, whatever
your solo time looks like, you need to make sure
to start planning for it, because a lot of things
change when you do have kids, and if you're out
there trying to think of ways that you might be missing.
How to feed yourself is plan out, schedule out your

(46:31):
solo time.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
I love that very quickly. I'll segue into one. I
need to get that daily dad. I'm gonna give myself
a homework assignment. Okay, of getting daily dads. Starting to
read into that, because our next segment is what are
the odds? Shout out fan duel with what are the odds?

(46:53):
We'll just be talking about anything that's crazy coincidence that
happened with the kids. Maybe they puked and they missed
every single thing except for that one really nice thing
in your living room.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
That's the.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
The segment. But what are the odds? Is Scarlet is
potentially going to be a freedom baby, pending that Jill
is going to get induced on July third.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
Explain that what's a freedom baby.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
A freedom baby is a baby that would be born
on July fourth, the fourth of July Independence Day. Got so, Scarlette,
that's all right, but Scarlet potentially being a freedom baby.
Jill called me today. They said, baby Scarlet is looking healthy.
She had a stress test and a screening today. They said,

(47:45):
we want to induce you at thirty eight weeks and
that will be the week of July first, and we
want to aim for July third, so she will be
born on the fourth of July.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Ooh, our little firecracker. Dude, I'm hype for you, man.
We're the world's gonna change. Oh, but I'm hype for you, bro. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
My life is over as as I know it, as
you know.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
It right now as a somebody who gets to kind
of operate selfishly with your wife. Yeah, life's over life.
That life's behind you.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
That's the spodcast.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why. Yeah, that's why you have
a safe space now. Yes, sweetheart, we love you, chili Bean,
we love you.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
Hey, I'm glad that you said that at the beginning,
because that did that took the pressure off. I was like,
I do need to act like you know, no one's listening.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Yeah, we're just talking. We're just talking. This is this
is a conversation just for the dads. Only dads are listening.
Only dads are listening.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
You thinks you could be charged with if you're just
talking about Yeah, yeah, we're just talking about it.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
We're standing around the garage events. Okay. So to wrap
it up, yes, to wrap it up quote lesson or
mantra in a phrase, because you're going to be a
girl dad as well. So this is more tailored towards
the girl dad's out there. And one that you hear

(49:09):
a phrase that you love and you don't quite understand it.
And it's not like a moment that happens, but it's
like moments in fatherhood that you begin to realize how
important this is. But my lesson that's going to stem
from this quote Will's lesson of the week lesson of
the week is that and I have a little write
up about this, is that you are your daughter's first love.

(49:34):
And it's not something where you're trying to be romantic.
It's about being the first role model of what love
looks like. You're the first man to hold her, You're
the first one to make her laugh on a hard day.
You're the first one to show her that love doesn't
have to be hurt or earn or beg to be kept.
And that's a huge responsibility. It's a lot of pressure,

(49:55):
but it's also a gift because how you treat her
how you treat her mom, and how you show up
when it's inconvenient or hard. She's watching, not just now,
but forever. She's learning what does it mean to be protected?
What does it look like when someone listens to me?
And am I worth someone's time even when they're tired?

(50:16):
Because you are laying down the emotional hardwiring that she
will lean on for years. And that's not the pressure
the girl that's out there, but to empower you. Because
when you kiss her on the forehead, or you let
her put bows in your hair, or you say I
love you for no reason, you're teaching her this is
how love should feel. Did you write that? Yeah, I

(50:37):
put the pin the paper a little bit. I had
a little bit of help. Damn, a couple articles on it.
I'm reading. I'm in the middle of reading the book
Strong Father's Strong Daughters. And there's a part in the
book where the author she talks about this and so,

(50:58):
and it's a it's yeah, it's I think it's great.
I Uh.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
One, that gets me fucking juiced because I have a
little girl myself coming. Yeah, And two, maybe we didn't
touch on it enough at the top. I want everybody
to know I'm scared shitless to have a daughter, yeah, buddy,
But yes, I have the most incredible wife in the world.
She was raised by a single mother, and Jill's the

(51:26):
most incredible woman in the world. Her, my mother in law,
is incredible to all herself. But I see the relationship
that Jill already has with my dad, her father in law,
and how special that relationship is to her. And uh,
it's a it's a really tall order. It's a really

(51:48):
tall order. And I'm really lucky. And uh, dude, I'm
fucking stoked to be here, to have met you and
Taylor and to really learn from you guys and have
this like opportunity to prep myself because I I feel
so much more like mentally ready. But that message was incredible, dude.

(52:09):
I'm I'm fighting back to yours pretty hard.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
But uh so a good being weird you're always fighting
him back there at the end. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Yeah, but I'm I'm so juiced by that. I almost
want to ride down and have it printed off and
that can live on the set. I can't believe you
wrote that, dude, that that was like run through a
brick wall stuff.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Yeah, it's you. I mean you, you you know the
history a little bit any way that I had with
uh with my mom. Yeah, and it's like the same
thing on the other side, it is like you're the
same being a boy for a mom. So it does.
It hits, It hits at a deep level. But hey,

(52:48):
they this is an awesome this is an awesome episode.
This is an awesome first episode. I gotta get out
of this. I gotta get out of this right now.
One thing that we were gonna do is I would

positive dad moments. We're going to show a little something
here for the credits with our own with our own videos,
but what we would like to see is fans, whether
you guys are dming us or showing us or tagging

(53:10):

positive dad moments and just embrace the badass dads who

I know a lot of our logos and themes which
was done by people none other than myself, but it's
based around wolves, and I remember asking the question, do
you realize how much I love that this is themed
around wolves? Because I am obsessed with wolves being the protector,
you know, the pac mentality and everything else. But we
