Hey, BT six ers, this is Willie One show. You're
about to listen to an automated ad read after this
call to action if you're on the Busting with the
Boys audio channel. If you want to listen to for
the Dad's Automated AD free, be sure to head over
to the for the Dad's channel. And wherever you listen
to us on audio, enjoy this episode of For the
Dads BT. Siko's one last reminder before we get into

(00:20):
this episode, something that is near and dear to our heart,
something that is super important to us. For the Dads
is teaming up with Vanderbilt Children's Hospital this Christmas season.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yes, we are Monroe Carrol Junior Children's Hospital here in Nashville, Tennessee,
and we would love to invite you to also give.
If you are feeling in the giving mood. There are
two different ways to do so, guys. You can either
go to BWTV dot com and you can donate to
the Monroe Carol Junior Children's Hospital. This is going to

(00:53):
be supplying them with the necessary tools to get these
kids gifts, toys, get their families gifts and toys here
around the holidays, but also take care of these kids
all year round. So first way to do it directly
donate on BWTB dot com. There's a link on our site.

(01:16):
Or if you are looking to get some merch, some
FTD merch.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, before Christmas gets here.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Before Christmas gets here, some busts and merch. Anything that
you buy on the store up until Wednesday night.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Ten per tonight as they are listening today night at
eleven fifty nine pm Eastern time.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yes, then ten percent of that purchase will be donated
directly to the hospital. So it's a great way for
PT six to kind of team up together and donate
and do something really fun for these kids this holiday season.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah. So again, if you're feeling encouraged, Busting with the
Boys is also matching those ten percent of net proceeds.
If you buy an item from our store and just
to walk you through it again, directly donated BWTV dot
com to the hospital, or simply buy some merch. Ten
dollars of those proceeds go to the hospital, and Busting
with the Boys is matching every dollar that is raised

(02:11):
through our merchandise. If you are feeling encouraged this holiday season,
again BWTB dot com, donate to the kids, for the kids,
for the dads.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
And will I forgot the most important part. We're gonna
be hand delivering toys to those kids at the hospital
here in the next couple of weeks. So that's going
to be another fun opportunity. Uh, just getting to get

conftent house, so especially in the evening time when you
got just the Christmas ambiance going. Yeah, And she asked,

(05:15):

monitor Rue's crying, she said, usually Charles the one who
hears first. Dad's second, mat here Tarl picking it up.
And I just hear Rue. She's not crying loudly, but
kind of like maybe she had a bad dream and

You were tired, yeah, a sleepy boy. You were tired.

as much as you might be angry at yourself, like
your body was like, yo, I need rest.

from Wheel going oh, we're starting that today.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
And that's been the extent. Yeah. I was like, well,
that's the end of that. That's true, that's true.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Chalk it up to me not texting you this morning
that yes, we need to be better as a team.
We need to be better as a team. I Jill
is sick, and yesterday I went into full panic mode
trying to figure out a way for us to record
this today and not even realizing Derek said it beautifully

(13:38):
off Mike earlier. Oh, I already pay for a system
that watches my kids daycare, and I was like, we'll
just take Scarlet to daycare an extra day check Scarlet
this morning she did not have a fever. I don't
have a fever. Jill is dead. Jill's basically she and

(14:00):
shout out Jill. I love Jill, Jill shout out you.
I will say this about Jill.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
You're feeling shitty.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
She has left work for as long as I've known her.
She has left work only one other time. So I
know it ain't good, and so I come home or sorry.
I get a text from Jill yesterday. She basically says
I'm dead. I'm leaving work. I'm like, ok good, okay,
start playing with you guys. I panic, and then I

(14:27):
quickly realized, okay, we can put Scarlet in daycare tomorrow.
We got that figured out. Now, let's just take care
of Scarlet and take care of Jill. So I go
pick up Scarlet from daycare. I come home. Jill has
been home since three point thirty and has been passed
out in bed.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
She's just asleep.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
I go to the nursery and the door's not coming,
and I'm like, what the fuck is going on with
the nursery door. Look down, the carpet is all like
outside of the door, Like there's no carpet on the
outside of the nursery carpet on the inside of the nursery,
but it's all sticking out of the door, Like, what
the fuck's going on?

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Here?

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Lay my shoulder into the nursery door. Wriggly explodes out
of the nursery. So Jill locked Wriggly in the nursery.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
All day long.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
There's shit and pasts everywhere. Good, good Scarlet, because she
wants her, you know, attention. So I go get the
carpet cleaner, and I'm cleaning the carpet and I got
Scarlet up on the changing table with my hand right there,
and I'm scrubbing the carpet. Jill's dead in the bed.
I uh go, I go make Scarlet's her bath. Bath

(15:41):
time goes great. Then all of a sudden, she decides
she doesn't want to eat her bottle, which she has
never done at nighttime. That's her favorite bottle. And for
parents at home, you know, that is one of the
most important bottles, because one of the most important.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
If they've been in a routine the whole time, your
head spinning like what is happening, I'm like you, this
is We've made it, We've made it. I'm also thinking
in the back of my mind, if she does not
eat at least five and a half ounces, she is
going to wake up in the middle of the night
hungry and piss, which means I will wake up and
I already have a five thirty and you're gonna piss.
I'm gonna be pissed.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
I already have a five thirty wake up call tomorrow
just to get her two daycare so I can be
here on time. So I'm like, Scarlet, we are not
taking no as an option tonight. You will drink your bottle.
So I open upip Doog, I open up her Merlin,
I open up her Onesie, and I get a wet wipe.

(16:36):
This might I don't know if this is abuse, but
I think it's a dad hack, and I'm just wiping
her chest with the wipe to wake her up. She
was basically just falling asleep and not eating her bottle,
and I have the lights on, I had music on,
and I'm like, Scarlet, eat your baba, eat your baba,
and she wouldn't wake up. So I am doing this

(16:58):
wet wipe on her chest and it keeps on waking
her up enough to where she's like, oh, yeah, I
need to eat ball gold set a time. Yes, that
ended up working. We got six ounces in her. Once
we got six ounces, I say good and put her
in the crib. Then I go into the bedroom and
I just hear and I'm like, oh, honey, are you okay?

(17:22):
Jill's dead, and.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
What do you need?

Speaker 2 (17:26):
I need thailand all, I need ice, I need.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Water and blah blah blah. I'll go get that.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
I go get all of her stuff, and then I'm like,
oh my god, I can't go to bed because Jill
is usually the one shout out Jill who preps all
scarlet stuff for daycare. I gotta make Scarlet's bottles for tomorrow.
I gotta pick out her outfit. I gotta get all
of her stuff. So I make all the pre make
all the bottles.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
At what point do you put the eye black on?

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Where you're like, you know what? I gotta do all
this and you just start looking in the mirror. You
put the eye black on, and it's like, let's get
to work.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Pull up coach a picture of his black in college.
That's where I was at, damn near black face. I
put die, my God, and then I grabbed my hands
and the smeared on my face.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
I said, you ain't going to bed to night. I said,
we fucking got this. It's gonna be good.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
And I washed all the bottles and I prepped everything,
and then I made the bottles and I put them up.
And then this morning execution was perfect. We got Scarlet
out of the crib, We got her in her new outfit.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Bottle bottle bottles. She drank the whole thing. Get her
to daycare.

Speaker 2 (18:36):

got it, we got another MLB guy, Tim Reams. He said, hey,
how are you? My name is Tim Reens. I've been
in professional baseball since twenty twelve. For the last seven years,
I've been at the major league level as a big

(23:10):
league bullpen catcher. My wife and I just had our
first child, a baby boy. He's four months old, and
he is our first Any advice. We love listening to
the podcast as well. I look forward to hearing from
you guys soon. Tim Rems, Yo.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
That is awesome. Just casually writing in writing a comment,
he casually also, I played professional baseball. I'm in the MLB.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Correct me if I'm wrong, Darren. He casually bought a
bunch of merch too, did he not? Was he the
MLB player that also storied like merch on his story?
I believe he got some busts and.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Eighty's to double check that.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
We had a first form athlete who was a hockey
player buy some stuff too.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
But I can I can I'll make a list of
all our people.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Yeah, form energy.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
What was the advice he said that he has. How
old is theirs?

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Four months old?

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Four months old? This is up your rally, like you know,
for me, if I'm remembering again, the time flies. So
the fact that Scotty's won Roust three, I like think
back to those dog days of a four month old
four month old, like he's right around. Are we getting
him down for twelve hours at a night. Are you
still doing the night feeds? That's like a war that's

(24:20):
going on. Yes, because four months is around where they
can sleep through the night. If you've been, if you've
been doing any of the sleep training philosophies that are
out there.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
I would say this to Tim because this is my
lesson of the week as well.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
And we'll get into this.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
But if anybody knows this more, it's going to be
Tim Raims, who is a bullpen catcher. There are sometimes
when you are down and out and you got to
call in the lefty and you got to get them
warmed up. You gotta be ready to go in there
and not only pitch a hell of the game, but
you could even win the game. Be ready for when

(24:56):
they call the lefty and get you in there, because
my my wife is an absolute sicko. And this morning
and last night reminded me of that, of just like,
holy shit, there is so much that I have to
do to cover for my wife. She is kicking, asked
daily how does.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
She do it?

Speaker 2 (25:16):
And you're on the mound now, and I'm on the
mound now, And now it's like, Okay, not only am
I not only am I out here trying to win
the game, but it's for guts and glory too. Because
I'm looking at our uh, our formula thing, and it's
a different type of formula than what we've been using.
I'm second guessing myself. I'm like, yo, where's the usual, fam.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
When you're looking around like a deer in headlights looking
at coach on the sideline or in the dugout, the
look back is this is what we prepare for week
in and week out. I don't know why you're staring
at me this, Nay, why are you looking at me?
There's formula right there. What are you gonna do? The
starter's hurt, The starter's is bad right now, Tarter's hurt.
This is the next man up mentality? Yeah, there should

(26:00):
be no drop off if you want to be a
big leaguer, there's no drop off when your number gets.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Called yes, And what kind of shit are you going
to be throwing on the mound? What kind of nasty
shit are you pitching?

Speaker 1 (26:12):
And if you're one of those guys that's deer in
headlights looking around thinking you're prepared, thinking you're talking a
big game about that life and everything else, when the
starter goes out, how are you going to perform? And
if again, if you're looking around for somebody to save you,
you haven't been doing enough.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
And there is going to be a four month old,
mean son of a bitch staring you down at home
plate saying what do you got?

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Dad? As, what the fuck do you got?

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Because I'm either going to and send it out of
the park or you're gonna strike this shit out?

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, what you got? Yeah? Stan your nats in the
A gap staring at you in the A gap And
what I'll say too? It's like with the one in three.
Now I think back to those early months where it's
chaos at all time. There's the hard point, hard moments
throughout all of childhood, all of childhood. Now as a dad,

(27:08):
that h has. Youngest is now one who can walk.
Who looks at a cabinet, it's like, oh, hey, this
cabinet's unlocked. This cabinet's open, and there's everything's in the cabinet.
Why would everything be in the cabinet. Let me throw
it all over the goddamn living room.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Oh and hey, that's not a cabinet. I think that
might be a ladder.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah. Oh, all the cans and bottles of water and
everything is eye level here in the Patriot. What's it
doing on the shelf. It should be all over the floor.
Oh is that glass?

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Let's see if I can break it.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah. Oh, Dad had just filled up a fresh bowl
of water for waffle. She's not thirsty. She likes drinking
it off the floor. As that Dad. Seeing that now,
I just think to myself, cherish the times where they're
they're they're not mobile and you could just bounce them
in a little chair. Yeah, and watch the show whatever,
put the subtitles on it, whatever it is. They're immobile. Yeah,

(28:02):
enjoy those moments because it just gets more chaotic.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Oh, your dog shit and piss everywhere on the carpet.
But it's close enough to the changing table, that you
can put scarlet on the changing table and keep your
hand on scarlet while you clean good because what if
she's what if she's where would I put her?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah, and scott Zilla, anytime we're prepping the oven, doing
something on the stove, putting food in the oven, whatever
it is. Anytime she hears dinum, because we're getting everything
heated up, she can now get She's able to reach
all those knobs, so all she does. I set it
for three seventy five. She tries to wheel it to
five hundred. She's pressing buttons. Now I'm getting orange lights

(28:43):
blinking because the oven is shutting down or speaking a
language I don't understand, and I just gotta turn everything
off and wait for like five minutes until I'm like,
all right, let me see if I can heat up
this food again, or if I can get the oven preheated.
Because once she hears dinum, she's over there. She's mentioned
with the knobs and I looked down. I'm like, Scottie,
stop and she's just like looking up at me. I'm like, no, no,

(29:03):
you don't get it. Grab her by the arms, take
her over to the take her over to the living room,
sprint over to the oven, get the oven where I
want to, and then I just sit there like a
linebacker in the eight gap while she tries to walk over.
She tries to move, tries to like slide in between
my legs. She starts getting upset, and I'm like, this
is welcome to the show. You're not getting by the oven.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
It's one of those others too. It's like the knobs
are on like if I'm if this is the oven,
this is the top part you open the door to
go in. The knobs are like sitting right there on
the side, so she can kind of grab the handle
and mess with the knobs and push the buttons.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Oh perfect, God, Oh you're your house goes into auxiliary
heat because it's so cold outside and now your nursery's
eighty four degrees. If you think that your baby's gonna
die and you don't realize that till ten o'clock at night,
you don't do a good job of checking the nana
app because usually your wife does, but now she's dead.

(29:57):
If I went in there, I closed the heat vent
and I put a fan in there, and we got
down to seventy four real quick. Yeah, so, Tim, welcome
to the show. You've been in the show. You know
exactly what needs to be done. Be ready for when
they call them the lefty. Yeah, Tim, there's your advice.

(30:18):
Don't be the motherfucker deer in headlights staring at your
wife asking what do I do in this situation? Ask
your questions now as you're watching at home right now,
and you might be one of these dads.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Let the wife the milk team sixers. This is the
opportunity to or hey, this is what this is the
page I want you to be on and from that moment,
from that conversation, dad, sit there and listen this again.
They're the starters. We think we handle all this shit.
They know what it is for real. Yeah, you have
to figure out a way and get on their level.

(30:50):
I'd like to come home to a clean kitchen. I'd
like to come home when I'm out for an hour
and you're watching kids. You know, I love the toys
being picked up. I'd love for you to pick up
the toys. Yeah, how hard is that? I'm sitting there
last night watching Monday night football my watch, Like, could
you just not like you got a couple of toys, right?
Here on the floor, do you just you enjoy just

(31:10):
is it comfortable just sitting in the chaos or sitting
around the clutter?

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Hey, will do you just like looking at the toys
on the ground.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, she's on her hands and knees putting them in there.
And then that kind of guilty conscience work. I'm going
to continue to watch football because I've already kind of
made this bed, and just tell her I was born
in the chaos. This is easy for me. But usually
it's like when she's up there, say say, I'm doing
Scotty and she's doing a rue and she has a
longer time with the ruin and I get done with Scotty,
I come downstairs. I see toys on the flour. The game.

(31:37):
The mission men is get all the toys cleaned up,
put them under the table, put them back in cat whatever,
the shelves, baskets, whatever, you guys have, Yeah, have that done.
So when they come down, it's a clean living room
and you got a fresh glass of ice water sitting
there for you, ready to roll. Let's go. That's what
it is, boys, That's what it is.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
And when and when you're four month old takes a
deep seven hundred foot bomb. It's a homer off. You
don't don't go like this, don't go hold little shit.
Oh fuck yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
And when your numbers called for bath time, because it
will be it will, you gotta be ready to go.
I'm still the dad that if I can get away
of another day at bath time without mom bringing it up,
I might try to sneak in another day at bathtime.
I was not taking a bath a hundred But when
Mom's like, oh it's let's just say, hey, it's Sunday,
they need a bathtey, or they went swimming lesson today,

(32:33):
they need a bath. Once that said, you're ready to
pick up and do your thing, Hey, I will. I
will execute bath time because again even for a four
or five month old, like even for the young ones,
they just sit in a little thing. You get them wet.
It's a very fast bath routine. If you toys get
involved in there, they love to swim, they love the splash.
Now you're negotiating how long you're gonna stay. Do you
want dad and to pull the drain? And you want

(32:53):
to pull the drain. But what women are really saying
is they would like you to just be the guy
who says, you know what I think, tonight's bath. Now
I'm gonna go give him a bath. I haven't got
to that point yet, and hand up, I can just
say it. As Charles's listening. She knows that I'm not
that guy. I had the buster chops the other night

(33:14):
when I was getting ready for bed, and she reached
out to the monitor and was looking at the monitor,
looking at Rue Ruse. She now has her own little
twin bed, right, so no sides or none of that stuff.
And so Charles was like, looks like Ru's about to
fall off the bed and kind of like makes a chuckle,
and I just look at her. I was like, does
this mean you want me to go up there and

(33:35):
adjusts Rue or are you just making that comment. We're
gonna kind of laugh out out and I'm gonna crawl
in bed. We're gonna snuggle together and way to go
to sleep. Yeah, yeah, because I don't. She's like yeah yeah.
She's like, I mean you can't if you want. And
I'm like, you gotta tell you have to tell me. Women, Hey,
we can't read your minds, Like, you have to tell me.
I know of a couple things, Charle, does it. I
I just know when my number is being called. Yeah,

(33:57):
like Charo, get home, We'll get home. We went hook
pictures with sand It the other day. We get home.
Charles wanted to change into her comfy clothes, like get
you know, dressed down everything else, and she just says
to Rue out loud, Rue, I gotta go change right now.
And I also still have to clean out the backpack.
I also still have to clean up the backpack. So

(34:17):
whenever I change and clean out the backpack, then we
can play together me. That's cue. I'm on the couch
right now, phones in my hand, or maybe I'm getting
the game on because it's it's Sunday. Yeah, I think
in my head, Oh, this right here is cue. Gentlemen,
go clean out the backpack. That's Charles's doing something. Charl
might be putting away the leftovers in the fridge. And

(34:40):
I'm sitting there on the couch and I hear, uh,
my wife talk to Waffle. Think Waffle can talk to
her back or English bulldog that's sitting by the door. Oh, Waffle,
do you need to go outside? Do you need to
go potty? I will get you to go out. I'll
let you outside. Whenever I'm done putting away the leftovers.
Me sitting on the couch. Oh some, I'm sm That

(35:01):
doesn't mean Charles's gonna put away the leftos and go
and take her outside. That means, hey, Dad, you hear
me saying what your dog needs to go outside? Why
don't you get your lazy ass up and go let
the dog outside. Yeah, that's called an out loud sub
tweet from your wife.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Yeah, which Jill often will subtweet me to do the
exact same thing, exact same thing. She's making chicken and
dumplings two nights ago. Oh my head hurts. Oh, I
feel like shit. I don't feel good. I think dinner's
about to be ready. I hope you know, I'll go

(35:36):
take it off the stove or whatever. When the alexa
goes off, I have to get Scarlet to battime. Oh
my head, I feel like shit. I finally I go
oh ding ding ding Dad, Help Dad?

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Just sitting there? Have you seen inside out? Yes? Yeah,
bro rowing the dad's brain throw sitting there like they're like,
what the hell is she talking about it?

Speaker 2 (35:59):
I finally know, Hey, you know what, it's six point twenty.
I'll get her bath going. I'll I'll do bathtime with Scarlet.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Jill and her it's like, what a novel idea, What
a great idea, Sherman, Do you hear me?

Speaker 1 (36:14):
I feel like, hell, we got to bathe our daughter
and I'm doing dinner. Alexis telling us it's time to
take the food off the stove. Oh, a Lexus going off.
I feel like shit. Would like to not have to
get up. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Oh, I have to wake up at five tomorrow morning
because I work all day at the hospital and I'm
gonna be feeling like shit. I'm just over there on
the couch.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Just yeah. And men, this is the way our wives
talk to us. And a few things happen here in
a man's brain. You feel the indirect, subliminal messages because
they're not directly speaking to you, and you're just thinking,
if you just tell me, I would know, And they're thinking,

(36:55):
if you just know, I don't have to tell you,
because these are some of the simplest things, and when
we don't do those things in their brain, that's the
only way they can kind of get around to talk
to us or get our attention. And so a couple
of things happen. You're either going to sit there, we
identify and know they're calling me out right now, and
they can't say it to my face, but they're calling

(37:16):
me out right now. You can either boil and get
a little angry and start to get a little passive
aggressive back. Oh that sounds fun. Yeah, you can do that.
Olve it. I'm telling you. Just a slippery slope. Boys,
it's a slippery slope, and sometimes you might win. But
we all know at the end of the night or
at the end of the day or the next day
when you're driving, you don't feel good about yourself that

(37:38):
it got to that point. Yeah, but there's another thing
that can happen. You can just sit there with our
dumb brains when we finally figure it out, and you
can just smile and you can say, good, it's my time.
It's like my numbers getting called and I got to
show up. Not only do I got to show up
and hear the room and hear our wives talking to us,
but also let's try to figure it out and get

(38:00):
better so this doesn't have to continue to happen. Is
it going to continue to happen? Yes?

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Yeah, every day, every single day, it will continue to happen.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Like we're watching the game. The little emotions in our brain.
They're all sitting in our brain watching the game. We
have no clue what's actually going on. Yeah, but if
you can just have some awareness, yeah, and hear what's
being said, they'll tell you. They just hate telling you
a hundred different times and in a hundred different ways.
That's true. Hey, the signs are there.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
And often I will tell my wife, well, maybe if
you had just asked me nicely, you know, a while
ago until instead of there we are now, maybe if
you just asked me nicely. Oh so I didn't ask
you one, two, three, four, five different times and then
I rewind and I go, oh shit, you know what
she did.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
The signs were there.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
The signs were there, but I digress. Yeah, that's your advice, Tim, Yeah, Tim,
thank you for Hey, Tim, thanks for listening to the show.

Super excited. Take a new way home. It turns into one.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
Of those off ramps where everyone tries to line up
next to each other, and I get a run off
the road basically into a pothole, and dude tired.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Done.

Speaker 5 (46:02):
So I drive about four minutes to a church parking lot.
Spend a half mind you, the pizza has been ordered.
The pizza has been ordered. I have to pick up
in two minutes. Spend about a half hour in a
church parking lot last night, from like five point thirty
to six changing this tire. So put my doughnut on,
get the tire in there, take a picture post my
stupid little funny caption. If you don't have to change
your tire, you gets even thirty degree weather. And I'm

(46:25):
just sitting there and I'm nextiting. Cat knows me, and
she's like, well, just breathe like it's fine. I'm like, no,
like it's it's it's good, Like it's good, it's good.
Is it good that I have every penny budgeted out
for Christmas gifts and now I gonna buy a fucking
tire but five home, it's great, it's honestly amazing.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
So we do that. I get the fucking pizza. It's cold.

Speaker 5 (46:43):
Now I go home and just upset and I'm just
sitting there and she comes home and I will say
Cat came home on a FaceTime with her sister, and
I was just like, let me talk to the fucking kids.
I was like, let me talk to the niece and
Evian and she shut around and the nephew has the
t Rex face on.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
He's going.

Speaker 5 (46:59):
And Amelia said she was in a pageant. She's a
little miss the area of the world, like she was
in a parade. She's dreaming about that. How cool it is.
I was like, thank God for these kids, because like
I was just sitting there so mad because it wasn't
my Like, She's off, I want to get a pizza.
Why do I fucking want to get a pizza? I
was angry, but it ended up being a really good situation.

(47:19):
It was a nice little ground and the.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Ball club put up over one hundred points. I'm getting
a free pizza, oh yeah, and now I'm paying for it.
Go out to pick it up and get right off
the road. The minimum is, yeah, fifteen in this league.
And I said, if you guys can find me a
fifteen dollars fucking pizza, then I'll buy that pizza. Impossible.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
So I was already in the hole, and now I'm
in the hole more all because I wanted a stupid
little pizza.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
And then the I wish the call had been recorded
between us, because I call him realizing I can just
take Scarlet to daycare. Why am I freaking out? Because
we're coming up with this hole for the audience at home.
We're coming up with the plan of Sherman will be
home with Scarlet watching and zoom in and we'll try
and do this blah blah blah after our phone call.

(48:04):
This is after our phone call. Okay, this is after
our phone call. I then realized, oh, I can take
Scarlet to daycare. So then I called Derek to then
tell him, Hey, I'm gonna take Scarlet to daycare, I think,
blah blah blah to check in with him, and I
start off the call with, Hey, how's it going, And
he then tells me about the flat tire situation, and

(48:26):
in the background you just hear Scarlet going and I
just go, well, Derek, you know, it sounds like we're
both doing great. So I can't wait to see you
tomorrow and give you a hug. Everything's okay.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
God for the dads, Man for the dad's of the
Brand's here bro for the dads. I already know Surean
was trying to figure it out last night because we
were on and off the phone, and I'm basically just like,
whatever you say you can do, we're gonna have to
get done. But I know, getting on the phone, I
know getting off the phone, Sure Sharm feeling whatever energy

(49:04):
I had, He's thinking, it doesn't feel like it's good
enough because I did. It's almost like I didn't have
the daycare situation in my head because I wish I
would have brought that up. Now that it got brought up, yeah,
to like take them there, because more of like after
Sharm comes up and he's kind of asking about it
or alluding to, hey, wife's sick he had talked to

(49:25):
wife yet and trying to figure out a plan, game
plan for tomorrow. I was like, well, you're bringing me
a problem. Do we have the solution? And this is
after you know, going six hours on the bus and
everything else. My brain is just like all right, I
got about before to get everybody's brains are fried. Yeah,
And I'm like, hey, you figure out a solution whatever
whatever we can do. If we have to move it,

(49:47):
we have to come in tomorrow night, and then the
boys are just gonna have to grind through getting this
out so that way it can land at Wednesday morning
as everybody's listening to this right now. Whatever we got
to do, let's just however you can come up with
the solution, we can figure it out. The only thing
I was, I guess I felt like we didn't turn

(50:07):
over every stone yet when you brought up the zoom
and everything else last night to do the zoom on
the bus is I got off the phone saying to myself,
we don't even know what Jill has said yet, because
you said you still hadn't talked to your wife. It
still hadn't talked to my wife yet. But I know
you're in the you're in your own trenches. Oh so
I don't want to make a situation feel like, make

(50:28):
you feel shitty getting off the phone, But I'm thinking, bro,
there's gotta be a way that we could do it
in person, and if we can't, then at least we
would know, based on your conversation with Wifey that we
truly would not be able to do it. And when
I didn't know, it was more of like this, uh,
Jill Zilla Jill zil. He hasn't even talked to Jill yet. Yes,

(50:48):
and he's like, this is the solution. It's like, we
don't even know if we can't yet, but hey, if
this is all we can do, well you will have
to do it on zoom.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
I'm also playing four D chess in my head because
I'm having a meeting with these guys and we're coming up. Well,
maybe Scarlet can come up to the office. Yeah, and
you go like that, that's a real picture into your life.
And then in my head, I'm overthinking and going, oh, am,
I just gonna look like a dad that's using his
kid for clicks in this situation. And how does that

(51:16):
look to Jill's parents that I brought my kid up
to the office while their daughter's sick at home.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
And I'm like overthinking. We got to see when team
sixers ready to go on the other side. That's true, Coop,
It's not like Scarlett would have would have been sitting
here on camera with us. Yes, well, we got some
fellows that are more than equip.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Yeah, that's true, all all said and done, had a
great confidence.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
This was Yeah, this.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Was the perfect situation of and wait to chalk it
up like Will was very helpful. I told him, Hey,
I am sorry that I'm not bringing any solutions, but
it's more so I'm talking to you, less of Will
my boss, and more so, hey, will you have kids
and maybe experience this. I've never experienced this. What the

(52:03):
hell do I do? And we had a good conversation
of like, okay, there are some options, but all said
and done, had a really good conversation with my mom.
She has a best friend that lives in Nashville. We
need a babysitter. We need a babysitter a billion person.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
We need a.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Babysitter my wife or my wife. My mom is coming
in town this week on Thursday to uh, like help
with scarlet and stuff, so Jill and I can do
another date night. But like our in laws and stuff
flying in like.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
That's yeah, they live in Texas. They live in Texas.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
That's not realistic for the future. They do miss us
and they want to see us, but yeah, like that
stuff's great.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
But again for like young parents and young families who
have young kids, and you're experiencing like, hey, we need
to get back into doing date nights and thinking about
us a little bit more because it's bogged us down.
Have it just be kid kid kid or kids kids kids. Yes,
you do need a rollodex of one of two babysitters
that you feel like you can trust and call and
that you know you're hoping that they would be available
on a pinch.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
And so my mom has a best friend here in Nashville,
and I was like, Mom, put the word out, give
give me her number. But you reach out and because
I'm sure that they have a rolodex of people that
they trust. Yeah, because it is it's like very foreign.
We love our network in Nashville. I love all this
community that I have, But I feel some type of

(53:24):
way I'm not going to call Jared Beeman and his
wife to like, come watch my kid, because Jared's my coworker.
He's not my babysitter. Like he's my friend, he's not
my babysitter. So I want like an actual my title
is I'm a babysitter is what I'm looking for. And
we just have been dragging our feet on it. And

(53:44):
it's a hard situation because if we're in Fort Worth,
I could name thirty people that I would take their
opinions in of who their babysitters are, and I would
use their babysitters, like you just have that network. We
don't have that here, but we do. We just got
to dig for it and find it and be purposeful.
And so that was the learning lesson from me.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
In the middle of the chaos, in the middle of
the limited time you already have. So it's like, you know,
the answers like Charles, like Charles having to figure out
who can be Like when Audrey she's pregnant, so we're
gonna lose her as a nanny. We're gonna have to
figure out who, like, who's gonna be the replacement? We
know that answer. I know that answer. Charles knows that answer.
Charles like, well, I know I'm gonna have to be
the one diving in and figuring out who the next

(54:28):
nanny's gonna be in the middle of all the chaos
of kids, a husband and wife, job, run the business,
everything else. It's just like U he has legitimately like
vetting people, just going through that process that you don't
want to go through.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
And that's another good example of Jill very like subtweeting
husband to help in this situation because she has brought
up and we really need to find a babysitter. Man,
we really need to find a babysitter. I really want
to go on to date night if only we had
a babysitter. And I'm sitting there driving, you know, nothing
going on in my head, just going, yeah, babysitter would

(55:05):
be good. Yeah, yeah, pick up the phone and find
a fucking babysitter.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
Sure, man, what even so when I'll get into and
we don't even get into arguments, I was gonna say,
if I get into that argument with why we don't
get into those argies.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Well, and it wasn't. Yes, to your point, it wasn't
an argument right.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Right, But I'm saying if it gets if it's like
I think to myself, sweetheart, I can find a babysitter,
but I already know if I find it, like to
me as dad, as male, as how my brain works. Yes,
if you find a babysitter and you trust said babysitter,
I'm not I trust you. Yes, So if the babysitter

(55:42):
walks in, like I'm just trusting that we have a babysitter, yeah,
my god, we got a sitter for tonight. If I
find a babysitter, or if dads are the men, I
feel like, find the babysitter. No matter what, Mom's gonna
want to vet and feel very good about said babysitter.
So I think a million this you'll have to you
might as well rip this because no matter what, you're
gonna want to feel just as good as I do

(56:04):
about said baby. There's no world where I get the babysitter.
This person that you don't know walks in the door.
You're thinking, like me in this situation, we just get
in the car and go because you're like, oh, I
trust a trust hubby here that he just landed this
this awesome babysitter that neither of us know.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Yeah, oh, how did you venom?

Speaker 1 (56:20):
They love college football?

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Honey, she's a big college football, she's great.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
How did they land the job? She said, go big Red?
And I was like, you think dyl Real is gonna
hit the portal? Good insight about it. Let's say you
go over miles anytime.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
And truly and yes, I know, if I pick out
a outfit for Scarlet, her feet will be covered, she'll
have a cuebo, she'll have a cute whatever. But Jill
is going to be like, hold on, hold on, what
are we doing using this outfit. She needs sweater, blah
blah blah. You know what you dress the kids, So
you dressed the kid. So that's how I think at
my head of if I picked the babysit. There's gonna

(57:00):
be multiple notes on top of that, which is fine,
But I'm automatically assuming, oh, that's a jill job, because
sh'll want final check and say.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
Of who we hire. Yeah, let's let's take out Let's
separate the person from the problem. Let's separate the idea
of does the man do this or the woman does this?
Like who's the most equipped, Like who's going to be
the most detailed in handling this said job? Yeah, because
if I interview, you're gonna be interviewing me on the backside.
And then reminded me of questions that I forgot to

(57:33):
ask or didn't ask. Hey, you seem like the one
you said that the one most well equipped to handle
this said job. Yes, and again there might be dads
who absolutely rip that job and have are the ones
that the land of the baby. So I have no clue.
I'm just talking more from my if. When char brings
it up, I hate Sweeter. I know this is gonna
be this could be one that I could do. Look,

(57:53):
I could do this, but if I do this, here's
what I would like not to happen, because if you
were doing this on the back end to me, I'm
just say making in my head you might as well
just go ahead and fill this role. Or at the
very beginning, Hey, honey, I would love to take on
this job. Tell me all the tempoles that I need
to hit as far as babysitter, and I'll find that

(58:13):
fucking baby. And then from that moment forward, let me
own my job. Yes, let me own my role.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Let me be great, which Jill, Jill Will allowed that,
but I need to ask that upfront of like what,
Okay needs to be a registered nurse. Got it needs
to be local. Got it needs to you know.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Look at this man just trying to figure it out
and solve it. That's out there, Like yeah, yeah, go Willy,
he shout out.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
My favorite comment from the weekend was the clip of

By the way, you kind of slid that in there
as a dad hack earlier when you talk about taking
the baby wipe and put on the baby stomach. Yes, sir,
that's for a five month old. So people in that
world you're trying to keep them awake to drink the bottle.
That sounds like a great dad hack.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
She didn't sound miserable like when I was, you know,
like she wasn't crying or anything. It would rouse her
enough to be like that's the game.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
There ain't no yeah, like whatever, whatever it takes, whatever
it's wake your young ass up.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
They drink this bottle, drink this baba crack Okay, So
crack a cold one, because what would it be if
we didn't do a crack a cold one really quick?

a photo with Santa smiled, and Scottie learned from her
new fear. Yeah, she learned a new fear of Santa Claus. Okay,

(01:01:35):
and it was incredible. I caught a little video and
I already know to myself, I see Scotty hanging on
mom a little tight. So you know, as dad, I
know a funny moment's coming. Let me slide out the
phone and get the video rolling, because I already know
she's gonna start crying. Come on, boom, take Scotty, sit
her on Santa Claus's lap, and you just see it
all happen. Face starts to go, she starts to cry.
I'm chuckling behind the camera and she just helplessly sits

(01:01:58):
thinking she's about to this is her life, last moment
on earth, as this gentleman in a red suit and
white beards.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Holding her will's behind the camera.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):

Let's get in the Collins again. You want to be

(01:02:50):
featured on the show? Six and one of the dad's
call in leave a voicemail, will feature on the show
and we will send you some merchandise.

Speaker 3 (01:02:58):
Will Sherman's pulling this up? Real quick question for the audience.
Did anyone listen to our Halloween story? Because if you
did and you enjoy it, we'll do a Christmas one.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
But I want to make sure.

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
We didn't get any comments on it when we posted it,
so I don't know if anyone saw it. It was
at the end of the episode. But I really want
to do another because it was really fun.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Hey, we posted the Halloween story and it got zero comments.

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
People might have listened, we don't know, but we didn't
get any. We didn't really, I personally in my head,
did we get comments? I thought, oh, okay, we got comments.

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
I personally in my head thought it was going to
be some like AI animated storytelling happening, not just kind
of like where it's just you know, a little song
and then like what.

Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
Yeah, yeah, we're gonna We're gonna expand on it. That
was the first run.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
And then like when I'm doing my character, I'm envisioning
what this character might look like when the YouTube rols out,
But when it just kind of sat there on like
a you know, like a desktop background with a little
bit of music while the story just went, I'm like, hey, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
Yeah, you're right, and that that was on That was
on me. But if we get a chance at a
Christmas shot, we're gonna go big and it's gonna be great.
But we just need to know if we want animation,
I just need to do it early because it I
don't know how to animate, but I'll figure it out.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
Yeah again, that was just what I was thinking in
my head it was gonna be. We kind of knew
when we put up.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
I was like this, it is like the low fi Youtubeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
But so if I got no comments, I'm almost like
just so people reached out.

Speaker 5 (01:04:30):
I read through a lot of people send in pictures
of uh like, we had a couple of people images
that people having their kid watched the leaves fall and
the story on and stuff like that, and people.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
Commented, okay, okay, I'm missing they did, Derek says. People
reached out, I would you just your family the video
and group chat and they just bumbed up it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
No, I have a comment right here that says, Mila
the bat fucking ribs.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
Way to go with it. Okay, way to go, Willie.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):

came out and then didn't bother because I.

This one titled Bathtime Combos.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
What's up? Boys?

Speaker 4 (01:06:42):
This is Taylor from Idaho, Pt. Sixer now for I
mean my little girl she is eighteen months old. Just
need some advice here. My wife and I, as of
the last I think eight or ten months, we've been
making sure that we switch off bath time every night, right,

(01:07:04):
So whoever does the bath, the other person does the dishes,
and I won't lie. Shame on me. For a little while,
I was always like a son of it's my turn
to do the bath, right, But now I obviously I
know that I need to not take the bad time
for Granted, it's some extra special time that I get
to spend with my daughter Emmy, And she's at that

(01:07:28):
age where she's not like talking. She can understand me,
but she's not talking. What the heck do I do
in the bath with her? Do I just like down
with third Do I just like singing some songs?

Speaker 1 (01:07:39):
Do I just like continue to play with the toys?

Speaker 4 (01:07:42):
I just you ot to do that and I just
kind of hang out and chill like I don't know
what to do, Like, how do I make that extra
special for her?

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
Am?

Speaker 4 (01:07:50):
I supposed to be teaching her things in the bath?
What do y'all do for bath time? Do you let
him hang out for a long time? Do you get
the cleaning done and get out?

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Like? What what does bathtime look like? God? What a
call in? Hey, this is a man that needs some help.
He needs some help, like we all do.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
I don't even I don't even know how to answer
that question because I'm trying to think what I do
during bathtime?

Speaker 1 (01:08:17):
You just kind of play and talk to him like
I'm picturing my man. What's his name, Timothy, Timothy from Idaho?
From Idaho, Timothy, just picturing tim Just set the kid
in the bathtub, and he's just kind of sitting there
looking at her, just thinking, what do I do here?

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
So?

Speaker 4 (01:08:34):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:08:34):
Okay, we clean the baby? What's next? Why what do
you come downstairs? Baby's clean? Watched like you guys have
fun a bast time. He's like, I think, I guess.
I don't know. I just looked at her.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
I pour, uh, I need to record myself. I think
I'm gonna record myself to where you just see me
during bathtime to see what I do because I'm actually interested.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
I do a ton of baby talk. Yeah, I know
that you're just sitting there kind of conversing with him,
like yah, I'm picturing especially if Ru back when she
was eighteen months, because he's in it. He's in a
great he's in a great pocket for age. Like I
feel like sixteen months sticks out as the month where
Rue's personality really started to show up A little bit. Yeah,
I'm just taking Yeah, eighteen months. You get your kiddo

(01:09:17):
in the water, you know, is it too Oh it's
not too hot. Oh, it feels just right. And you
kind of slowly get him in the water. You're like,
oh is that warm and cozy? And you take the
little cup. You start like pouring it on their little body,
like oh, here comes in on the right shoulder. Boop.
You start getting their hair. Oh can I get you
don't want it in your eyes? Let me block it.
Can you look up a little bit? You gotta look
up or water's gonna get in your eyes. You pour

(01:09:38):
it on them. Oh look look at your toys, whether
it's a little scrunchy ones that's just like letters, yeah yeah.
Or we have a couple of little fish, a couple
little things she can play with that are kind of
connected to the side of the bathtub, or she can
spin it or whatever. Again, trying to picture her at
eighteen months old. Cascotti's won. We kind of have her
sitting on that little yeah, like trike thing where they

(01:09:59):
got a little that you set them on and those
are quick, those are like quick bass right yeah, yeah,
like you said there and you dump tho a cup
on them. A couple of times. You get to soap
with the rag. You go around there, you like sing
them a song or play with them, or talk about splashing.
It's like at that age too, Like Scotty, He's like,
do you want to slash? Splas splashplash. You kind of
show him on a splash and they spla, Oh my gosh,
you love splash under the neck and then you know,

(01:10:22):
soap their head, rub it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
I uh, maybe a Dad Hack waterproof book. We got
one at Target.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
It's fun, It's got little pictures in it. Then Scarlet's
like just now being able to like hold things with
both hands. I put the book in her hands and
just holding it and putting it in her mouth instead
of reading it. And I'm talking for Scarlet. Yeah, oh,
Dad dies, I like this book. Oh really, Scarlet? Are
you reading the book?

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
Yeah? Doing such a good job. Tim strikes me as
a man who he's confused on what to do when
the job is so easy. But he seems like a
man's man to where he's pretty reserved and doesn't say
a whole lot of words, doesn't necessarily care to communicate
his emotions, just wants to like feel pain or anger
and kind of you know, stay quiet, be very internal.

(01:11:12):
That's who he strikes me as. But this, yeah, this
bath game is easy because you got to think to
your flip the switch in your brain and think, I'm
gonna sound stupid right now and I'm notoxious, but I'm
gonna do it with my little girl. Yeah, that's all
it is. Because Scott's Zilla. The difference between your ruin
and Scott' Zilla rue. She would have to tilt her
because she hates some one like water gets and rise

(01:11:32):
and everything else. Scott Zilla. I'll dump the cup on
her head. I'll don their water border a couple times
because she's just sitting there. She she eats it, bro
she eats it. I'll be dump it on her head.
You know when you get a little curious, Okay, if
a little bit gets on their eyes, like how do
they react like smiles or whatever. And then I'm like,
you know, get a little cup of water and then

(01:11:52):
like dump it on her head and then she smiles.
I'm like, okay, you got to mess with the water. Now,
let's get a little action in here. Scotty.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
Oh yeah, that's exactly like Scarlet's like reaching at the
I like, you know, pour the cup on her and yeah,
she's like reaching for the water. Yeah, gets on her
face and she kind of like shakes, but then she's like, okay,
I want more.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
Yeah, there's another little dad hack in during bad time
and she take the cup of water, gets you a
big cup of water too, and just do like a
slow pour in front of them. Or they have like
that little stream and they just want to grab it
and there figuring out what water is, what it feels like,
Oh my gosh, is this going through my hand? How's
it going around? Whenever I take my hand out, the
stream still goes all the way down to the water
with I can't grab it and pull it. And they're

(01:12:35):
just kind of fascinating. You just stare at them, and Scarlett,
is that water, Oh my goodness, are you thirsty? You
can't drink it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
It's got soaphy in it. And Scarlet, if her brain
is telling her that looks like I could drink that.
And so whenever I like pour it under like her neck,
the entire time, she's going trying to drink it and
I'm like, oh no, no, no, don't drink this.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
Oh. They take some scru she kind of put in
her mouth. No, that's dirty water. You don't want to
drink that. You don't want to drink that water. No, no,
cut it out. Stop. Sorry, you're ruining batht No, we
don't drink that water. Then water's better. You know that's
dirty water? All right, okay, stop cut it out right now.

Speaker 2 (01:13:20):
Yeah, so you just want to go to bed, okay, baby,
Thank you Timothy for Timothy Baby proving the Xmas tree.

Speaker 8 (01:13:35):
Santo Willie, I need some advice here. Maybe you guys
could discuss this one on the pod. As you know,
it's Christmas season.

Speaker 7 (01:13:43):
I got a one and a half quarter year old son.

Speaker 8 (01:13:47):
He's at that age where he's walking but not quite
speaking English yet, just gibber jabberin. And it's Christmas tree.
Time house already is closing in on us because we
got toys all over the fucking place.

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
Man.

Speaker 7 (01:13:59):
I'm tripping on little race cars, legos, building blocks.

Speaker 8 (01:14:03):
We're watching Miss Rachel on a repeat, trying to introduce
the young buck to the Charlie Brown Christmas specials.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
Things that.

Speaker 8 (01:14:14):
This guy wants to tear down on a Christmas tree.
I've tried fences, I've tried putting it on a table.
It's a bad News Bears type situation.

Speaker 4 (01:14:23):
Here.

Speaker 7 (01:14:24):
What's your Christmas tree proof of baby advice?

Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
What do you got for me?

Speaker 8 (01:14:30):
I need a life raft here because I'm about to
go get my third Christmas tree because for some reason,
these things they just keep getting fucked up. One of
them was too pussy. I went too light and it
fell fell off the stand. I'm not about to rebuild
a stand. The other one had bugs in it. Kid
had bugs in his hair and stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:14:52):
Bad News Bears. Maybe I gotta get a fake tree.

Speaker 8 (01:14:55):
I don't know the issue, but any baby proof Christmas
tree advice, I hope you and a good merry Christmas brother.

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
I hope you're good. Good luck, good luck with those
bucks in the Christmas tree. But they're coming from every direction.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
Now, I hate it. I grew up a real tree kid.
We'd go to the tree farm, we'd cut it down,
my dad would, we'd my brothers and I we'd pretend
to play deer Hunter six while we were out there
running around looking for a Christmas tree. Yeah, and uh,
but I'm a fake tree guy. Okay, I'm a fake
tree guy. I hate to admit it, but it is

(01:15:31):
what it is. Yeah, it's easier. You get it going
up every year you put it back in the box.
And it sounds like what he's dealing with the little demon.
He sees a tree. This is King Kong now going
through the jungle, ripping off the tree and everything else.
To me, the first one is, well, you can get
a fake tree, but I don't know how to I
don't know how to stop the rushing attack to the

(01:15:54):
Christmas tree. Scotty's the same way, Scotty damn near she did.
She broke Ruth's fine ornament. It's kind of cracked all over,
so it's very sensitive. It will fall apart. We do
have it back on the tree. It's hanging on for
dear life right now. But if it goes down again,
it's over with. I don't know what to do. I
don't know what to do. Help me, help me. I

(01:16:17):
don't know how to stop my child from grabbing the
ornaments on the Christmas tree.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
I have this off, I have this off.

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
How high can she reach? I mean shit, but she
can probably reach like and that's about three feet off
to the lower part of the tree, you know what
I mean? Like, I know you can get the ornaments
up higher. But she's still grabbing at this stuff on
the tree, and you just gotta see Scottie, gentle, gentle,

(01:16:46):
and they're kind of approaching them slowly, go ahead, surem.

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
Okay, really quicks off target, has indestructible ornaments by the
baby its own tree that it can fuck up and
put the indestructible ornaments on it and just let them
have it.

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
Now, hang on these indestructible ornaments? Can you still take
them off the tree?

Speaker 4 (01:17:13):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. What's wrong with that? Just
ornaments all over the floor. That's okay. Still got to
hang them back on the tree.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
It's still good.

Speaker 1 (01:17:22):
That's what parents are trying to figure out here is
when the baby gets close to the tree and they
got a hold of an ornament, and you don't just
want to snap, hey stop sometimes I'll do that, scott Scotty, no, no, no,
And you almost you're approaching them like they're like they
have a gun on them. Yeah, like Scotty, easy, gentle,
And you slowly start walking towards them, gentle. They start

(01:17:44):
smiling a little bit easy, she starts no, and then
you grab them and just remove them from the situation,
and then you just hope you're sitting there playing your
basketball in them, guard them so they don't get to
the tree. And I just kind of guide her. Go
over there, go over there. Look at that over there,
Go get the ball. And that's where the fake tree,
the fake small tree comes in. Look at that little thing.

(01:18:06):
Go fuck that thing up. Okay, I see what you're
saying to me. No matter what, they're still ripping off,
like if you get the indestructible ornaments, like, yeah, it
sucks with the that ruse ornaments broken. But no matter what,
she's ripping off ornaments from the thing, like, I still
got to I get on my hands and knees. You
gotta put the little hook back in the thing, and
then you put the ornament back on the tree.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
Well that's okay. So here's what I would do to
explain it really quick. I would put a fence, like
a dog type gate around real Christmas tree with breakable
ornaments to distract child. Buy fifteen dollars tree that's only
like two feet tall, put a bunch of indestructible ornaments

(01:18:46):
on it, and then that's what they're fucking up all
the time.

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
Does that make sense. Yeah, I want to get a
gait a cage of some sort. Yeah, and just put
Scottie in it. Like every time she gets involved in something,
she's climbing up on rue stepstool. Now, Like I'll look
over and I just see your little head popping up
from the island and I'm like, God, Scotty, how'd you
get over there? I've told you you can't climb this.

(01:19:13):
She gets around everything. She she clears out every cabinet
that has stuff in it. Yeah, this is every day,
and I tell your every time, sweetheart. This is why
I want to get a cage for get a little
play pin. Yeah, she needs to be like Ugga during
the sec Ji chip game to where that's sitting in
a kennel. You can't come outt is scott Zillo. She

(01:19:37):
is ugg Yeah, Dane shev.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
I'm so sorry. Please, what was your thoughts on it?

Speaker 3 (01:19:42):
This might be a bad idea, okay, But as a kid,
my parents under our tree we had in a little
root Oflph the Reindeer electronic train. It's a train that
just goes around the tree. And maybe it's a little
bit of a smoke and mirrors thing that they're seeing
like an actual moving train come around and she doesn't
want to dat they might because for me and my
little brother, that was never an issue. I don't know
if it's because we would turn on the train and

(01:20:04):
watch it go around the tree.

Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
You're probably just scared of the trains. No, I don't
think so. I think you were a pussy. Your probably, Lama.
You know it was like, I'm not gonna get rain
over by the train. My number one shows was Thomas
a tank Engine. I think you're kid, you were scared.
I think you as a one year old you was
a pussy. Chef, mamauck you in how many? How many

(01:20:31):
bedtime cases did you get? Chef? I come to you
with a solution. Your tea, Lama, Lama, Red Pajama? Was
that your favorite book? Chef? No, well, chef, because if

(01:20:53):
Scotty saw the train, that train's getting sucked up. Okay,
I was about maybe it's the train.

Speaker 3 (01:20:58):
You buy the train knowing that the train's going to
be a sacrificial lamb, and then you hang all the
all the ornaments that are breakable. You don't want those
stay above halfway up the tree line.

Speaker 1 (01:21:08):
Yeah. Then I look over and Scott's will be at
the top of the tree tearning down the star. Yeah,
you might be a shall you look up there? Scotti's
up there? What you have?

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
Kay Adams?

Speaker 1 (01:21:21):
In ten minutes? Okay you want to we can pick
back up? Uh we I We're pretty much good the rock,
aren't We're pretty much. I got a nice little I
saw on Instagram post and then I I can read
the lesson and.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
I have like a little lesson too or something I
saw that was just.

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
Like a great, great little reminder, great little prospective piece
from my man too doing bath time, like, hey, enjoying
bad time. I know I'm gonna miss bad time for me,
the whole thing of bad time for me. It's just
my little back just getting down on the ground. Yeah,
Like I'll be the whole chest hanging on the side
of the bath, like reaching my arms up because it's

(01:21:58):
like sometimes I just can't stay lies and support my
low back.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
You need the third arm construction worker apparatus. If anybody's
seen that on social media, will be a little Christmas
maybe a little Christmas gift all right here. This comes
from Wealthy, Healthy and Blonde. The profile on Instagram. We're thirty.
It's December and he asked me what I want for

(01:22:22):
Christmas this year.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
Oh. I laugh and say, oh, I don't know. Sleep, Silence, sanity.
He half smiles because we both know I can't have that.
We're eighty now. It's December, and he asked me what
I want for Christmas this year. I look at the
tree filled with handmade ornaments, now decades old, they hang quietly, untouched.

(01:22:45):
I look at the lights glowing across an empty floor,
no longer full of toy cars, legos, and crumbs. I
recall the years where everything felt alive, the squeals at sunrise,
the torn open boxes, the little voice is yelling, Mama,
come see me. I cry and say, oh, I don't know.

(01:23:06):
Just one more Christmas when they were little. He have
smiles because we both know I can't have that. And
that's when it hit me. I got everything I wanted
when I was thirty. Turns out I miss everything I
had when I was thirty. The days are messy, but
the years are magic, and you can't get him back,
so enjoy them. That's a good one right there. It

(01:23:30):
almost caught me on the last two slides.

Speaker 2 (01:23:32):
That is a good one. God, that's a good reminder
of just yeah, enjoy the suck, Embrace the suck. Mine
falls in that as well. Here's my lesson of the week.
This week has been has reminded me of something simple
but heavy. When man on man isn't working, you gotta

(01:23:54):
switch to zone coverage. As a dad, sometimes your number
one job is stepping up when you're partner can't. There
are days where everything feels normal routines click, kid is fed,
everyone's laughing, life is on the rails. And then there
are days when your partner is exhausted, sick, mentally drained,

(01:24:15):
burnt out, or just done. That's when it's your moment,
not to complain, not to keep score, not to point
out whose turn it was, but to silently step in,
pick up the load, and carry it. Being a good
partner isn't about even splits. It's about coverage. When one
person is down, the other fills the space. That might

(01:24:37):
mean doing bathtime without being asked, handling bedtime routines, solo
cleaning the kitchen even when you worked all day running
errands so she can lay down for twenty minutes, taking
the emotional hits so she doesn't have to. It's not
glamorous No one applauds you, but it matters because when
your wife feels safe, supported and seen, your home becomes stronger.

(01:24:58):
Your kids learned teamwork by watching it, and your marriage
becomes less about surviving seasons and more about winning the
seasons together. So Dad's this week, just pay attention. If
she's struggling, step in, if she's overwhelmed, anchor the household.
If she's running on fumes, be the refuel station. Not
because it's your duty, but because that's what love looks like.

Speaker 1 (01:25:20):
In real life. Well done, well done, my friend great
so today a.

Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
Great so, great so and one of our shortest sodes potentially,
What were we running at?

Speaker 1 (01:25:35):
This is going to be the shortest sode since episode
of one. That's okay, It's okay, a lot going on,
I know, Papa Team shakes will come. There'll be some
mentions about the short episode that we covered a lot
though we did. We had some fun. Yeah, that was
quick and fast, but we hit all the bases.

Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
The sound waves on that edit thing are good.

Speaker 1 (01:25:53):
There's gonna be zero breaks, yeah, zero. Papa Team six.
Keep showing up, keep overthinking every time conversation going through
your head, and keep submitting eventually submitting to what's best
for you and Wifey on Milk Team six and keep
submitting to what's best for you and the family. Take
your trash out. We love you, we appreciate you. BT six.

(01:26:14):
We will see you next week.
