it's a it's a it's a process. I know last

(01:20):
week when we were shutting off the podcast, it was
super hard to find because you had to be specific
on typing in at for the Dad's Pod. No space

At for the Dad's Pod are YouTube channels at for

comments have been amazing. They've been been awesome, dude. I
was the community is growing.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I was overwhelmed. I'll say this later, but I was
overwhelmed by all the comments and people that reached out
with my DMS. I was overwhelmed. It was crazy.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
You want to read a few.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, I would love to first of all, shout.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Out to people jumping comments. They got to know that
we're there, that we're showing up, that we're showing up.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
One hundred percent. And to your point, shout out to
the eight point five k sickos that typed in at
for the Dad spot. I like to think they all
typed in at for the Dad spot, all typed it
in and they're absolute sig gos. They're Papa Team six.
I'll start out with Hunter Palell, he said Sherman, the
best gift you can give your wife is being the
dad she always wanted. My wife grew up with absent

(02:30):
dad as well, and she has told me watching me
be a dad and her knowing our daughter will grow
up with the dad has healed so many wins for her.
Being vulnerable in the comments is sick. Shout out Hunter
pal for them, you.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Shout out Hunter. I'm reading this one from Blake Blake
Lee four six four fellas, and this is a little
this this could be a little bit of a dad
hack because I didn't even I didn't even think about
this one, Fellas. Here's a major w from the first
member of Papa Team six, Chad GPT has walked me
through the absolute war zone of sleep training with my
two and a half year old slept nine hours straight

(03:03):
by herself last night for the first time in two years.
Oh four nights ago. I was asking myself, am I
built for this? Am I built for the a gap?
Am I truly a member of PT six? And this
morning I woke up and realized I might just be
Himmothy huge dad w for this dad of two. Shout

(03:25):
out the boy Blake.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
That was Blake that said that, Yeah, Blake, Dude, shout
out Blake.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Blake Lee, Blake Lee four six four from PT six
in two years, Dude, I'm sitting there two nights and
I'm thinking, oh, man too, like, I don't know how
much longer I can do it? Two years, two years, dude,
sleep sleep training is hard, man, Like I have you know,
knock on wood. I was lucky with the first two
route took a little bit longer than Scottie. And again,

(03:50):
shout out that twelve hours and twelve weeks book. But
it's a it's a war zone.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
It's a war zone.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
It's a process. Yeah, it's a process.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
It's a than that Papa Seal can only take on
and to that point, Mike Cody eight one A two.
He kept it short and sweet. He said, Papa Team
six with the flex and don't forget trash today. Remember
what got us here, Trash Day got us here. But
also shout out Papa Team six. I took a photo today.
Today is actually my trash today. We record on Monday.

(04:21):
I took a photo. I forgot to tweet it. That's
the first thing. You gotta stay on it.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I got it. Papa Seals now, Papa Team six, we
gotta get out there. That's the way we engage and
build the community. Because people probably wondering, like I did,
see people wanting the fatherhood. I think I saw a
lot more for Papa Team six, a lot of tea.
At first, I was more of a fatherhood guy, but
then I got to thinking, I'm like, Papa Team six
is just more fun because you know me, I'm a

(04:47):
little sick o. I like to I like to rally
the army up every now and thedays. I like to
just you know, I never know what the how to
refer to it as just say like hey, you know.
For example, when I went to war with Expedia, a
couple of years ago, it was getting the army, taking
our nation into war and be ready to not come back.
There's a part there's a fantasy I have where you
just rally Papa Team six, whether it's in the comments,

(05:07):
you have fun on social media, you know, I have
those little fantasies, but also like playing into it. It's like,
you know you Let's say, for example, you post a
photo of your kid, it's like, welcome to the fatherhood.
Welcome to Papa Team six. Yes, you see the fatherhood.
I feel like that feels way more universal and generic.
Even though I think it's sick, I think it's cool,
and I do think we should get those upside down

(05:29):
fatherhood hats made. Yeah, but it seems like something that's normal. Right.
If you see like welcome to Papa Team six, Like
anybody that's outside of the audience that for whatever reason
might be on the page yes for the dead spot
and they see welcome to Papa Team six, it kind
of makes you pause for a second. Probably why does
everybody saying Papa Team six. It's kind of funny, kind
of like an inside joke, kind of like an inside

(05:51):
community thing, and only Papa seals understand.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
You know, you know who the real real sickos are
in Papa Team six. Are those guys that we've been
doing PT six on Twitter. I've seen you do it.
I've done it myself. I've seen a couple others. People
on my wife's Instagram post posting a picture of scarlet
and people in the comments welcome to PT six. Sure,
I'm like, that's just sick of We need in a

(06:16):
good way.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
We need a mobilized Papa Team six, not not for
the wars that probably will be had at some points
in time with the TikTok bombs of the world who
might come across clips of ours and you know it's found.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
To happen at some point it will happen, but it
will happen.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Even for recruiting purposes. Yes, you just see somebody you
tag in somebody else's video. We need to get this
guy on Papa Team six. This is Papa Team six.
Potential shout out chef too.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
He had an incredible idea for some merch of just
some dads coming through, like clearing a room and you
have one with the spatul that you got one with
tongs and he's like on a grill, another one coming in.
Maybe he's got the burp cloth and he's got the bottle,
but they like look military. They look like night vision goggles.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be electric.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Maybe a dad was strapped with a carrier with the
baby on the chest, double strapped.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
He's got one on the back back.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
It'd be so with the backpack on and then out
of the side sleeve you just see the top half
of a bottle. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah. The above the detail the bomb diffuser would be
just a guy with the baby Breza and he's computing
on the baby Breza.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Be so good. BETWTV dot com. That's where you get
our merchandise. And I do I love the detail that
our merchandise has. Like there's one oh man, I was
I was posting about it yesterday, but I was kind
of going through all the detail of the wolf working
out in the weight room, like blood sweating beers like
on his shirt like for the dads or something, and

(07:44):
like you know, something down off to the side. But
there's a lot of like cool detail that I feel
like we get to have fun with now that we
get to make our own merch.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
A hundred and just to tease the merchant general. We
got a shipment of the Bust and Summer beat the
Heat merch in uh last week, I believe. And just
seeing some of that, yeah, and I can't I'll just
tease it. It's insane.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Which product are you talking about? Because it's Wednesday, like
we have new merchants just dropped yesterday.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Okay, well so we do. We do have the Hawaiian
match Hawaiian matching set fire, which is fire, and I
don't like, I really don't want to tread in water
that I'm not supposed to do on teasing this merch
Do I have permission to go into detail. Yes, there's
some polos coming in that are on Are we talking
good material polos that some golf dads can wear? Yeah,

(08:36):
and one that is there's some girl dad homages with
one of the polos that I'm telling you, I cannot
wait to be on the golf course.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
This is not a pitch for the merch I want
to be on the golf course in this one polo immediately,
So keep your eyes out for that. It's so sick,
so sick.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Get his juice. Get the boys rocked up. The Boys
rocked up on a Wednesday mornings, out there just getting
the trash can bens out to the curve, just getting
rocked up. Listening to that little teaser.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
There's so many w's with the l's, dude, there's so
many many.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
So many w's, buddy, there are so many l's in Paragra.
And again, if you're new to this show, we run
over a lot of different things. We talk about our
dad losses, you know. We talk about what we crack
a cold one too? Ye? What are the odds yup
survival kit? What to put in the survival kits? Some
dad hacks, ye, Some lessons that we're learning along the

(09:30):
way in fatherhood to be a papa Seal quote. We
go through voicemails, call in six on one, the dad's
people call in. We've had a lot of call in. Chef,
Chef jack in the back, he uh, he has about
what four lined up for us today? Four good ones? Yeah,
four good ones. Even a mom called in. Even a
mom called in.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
She knows what we're talking about. And Chef got a
shout out on the voicemail and just a little cheet
code for anybody that's on their voicemail to be put
on the show. You shout out chef at the top.
There's a good chance he's probably gonna listen to the
rest of it.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
It is true.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Just a little dad hack, just a little datassage him
a little bit yo hey, and shout out chef, Yeah,
che Jack.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
I know you're listening to this right now, breaking down
this voicemail. Let me put a heater on you real quick.
Oh yeah, let me put a question up for the
boys real quick. Yeah, and it'll probably get you. You
fast tracked to the.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Flaffron will fast track you. He pulled one of them up,
and the shout out to chef was strong, and I
started hitting chef. When I was listening to it, I
was like that God knows what he's doing.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, six on one of the dads,
you call in. That's our hot line. We go through,
we go through calls, and at the very end of
the episode we roll credits. And the credits that we
roll are moments of parenthood or fatherhood that you have
with your little one. Maybe it's a gender reveal. Maybe
you're doing like uh, you're acting and you're playing dress
up with your daughter or your son. Maybe you're in

(10:54):
the backyard running around and playing. Maybe you're having a
nice dinner moment, whatever it is. We like to roll
some feet good moments. At the end of the episode
in our credits, just embrace, just to embrace the fatherhood
that goes on out there.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Embrace the fatherhood. Another quick shout out. We'll have a
plug at the end of episodes. Uh, you know, moving
forward for future episodes. But for the time being, the
National Parent Helpline. We shout him out last week. We'll
shout them out again really quick. That's one eight five
y five four to two seven two seven, three six.
That's the National Parent Helpline open twenty four hours they

(11:27):
you sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
I was gonna say the National Parent Hotline. That's where
you go for real.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
That's where you go for real help. Guys, if you're
calling in and you got some actual issue stuff that
you need to get off your chest, you need some
help at home, you will be matched with a masters
in counseling that's there to help you. Twenty four to seven.
So shout out National Parent.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yes, because we don't have a master's degree. No, this
is not an expert this is not an expert podcast.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Which, by the way, three MPT six.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Got a master's degree. You need PT six, which is fun.
You know a lot like you. We just we talked
through this stuff, all things fatherhood. But again we are
not experts on the show. And to go off that
I did have a bone to pick with Chef Jack,
oh no, because I said it last week. I think
I gave you a title or caption for the episode.
And I go on and I see Will Compton gives

(12:19):
parenting advice for your first child, And for whatever reason,
I get triggered by giving parenting advice being on like
YouTube and coming across like this is this is where
you go for advice. I don't mind that people enjoy
and consume it and use use tips, use stuff that
we talk about and help like help relate it to

(12:40):
their situation, and it might turn out to be advice
for them. But it's more of like the positioning of
Will gives parenting advice because I hate feeling like I'm like,
you know, talking to a group saying this is what
you should do, this is what you shouldn't do. More
is just like our own life experience. But that's a
tip you can write down for yourself, Chef Jack, Because
I know you probably got it from somewhere else and

(13:01):
they probably signed off on it, and he won't say who.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
It is, and can I put chef Jacks?

Speaker 1 (13:05):
But I'll come and hide on a phone call and
say I don't give a shit if the SEO and
this wording is better for the YouTube algorithm. I personally
don't like projecting that I'm the expert and I'm the
one giving advice.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
And two, I've been in that seat with busting with
the boys, and to put you on game, Chef Jack,
the best move you could ever do is as soon
as they sign off on a title, copy paste it,
text it to this guy solo and say, hey, team
likes this, and this guy will rip it in five
seconds ago fuck that, go with this. And then all

(13:41):
you have to do is hit those people back and say,
Will's going with this? You're good? You're good. Oh yeah,
that's good advice. That's advice I learned. I have a
master and keeping Will Compton happy with his podcast. So
as long as you if I will, you're good, I.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Just pop on and I just it's the first five words.
Will Compton gives parenting advice, and I'll I was wanting
to break the screen. I didn't do it because I'm
I didn't want to hit up Chef Jack. We just
started our Fourth of July break. I don't want bad
vibes going on.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
It was a wonderful fourth of July eight New intern,
New intern.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
I know, I know, I'm not trying to come up hot,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
But some of my favorite texts are those six am
texts that you, uh, well, I'll wake up to there.
It's a beautiful book that you put together. And I
truly I giggle a little bit. I am a little
scared because I'm like, I want to make Will happy,
but I do giggle a little bit imagining you in
your garage weight room, typing out that message.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
In the middle of a set, stealing on it for
a couple of sets, just sitting there. All right, I
got three minutes rest on this one. I'm gonna fire
this one on.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
What the fuck?

Speaker 1 (14:52):
I'll type in like half of it and then go
hit us and come back and be like all right
here here.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
No, No, I can't say that because I told him.
I told him not to do that.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
I know, against myself.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Did I'm not saying this. I could have sore. I
said this been there, been there.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, it's a learn.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's a learn, dude.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
It's an intern loss.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
It's an intern loss. We might learn after a minute.
It's something you crack.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
A cold one too, is an intern Watch them just
killed this next chef just sitting back there not.

Speaker 2 (15:18):

prepared for the worst because she knows what the worst

(16:57):
can be. And we know that every single birthing experience
is different, every delivery experience is different. We've got to
hear about Will's forty eight hour scenario for labor with
Sweet Charles in and at four centimeters and that.

recliner chair, you son.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Of a bit. I know you had a recliner.

Speaker 2 (17:38):

Oh yeah, you didn't have to sleep on a couch.
I sent it to the boys in the I have
a college group chat. Shout out Mike Evans. They'll know
what that means. But I sent that picture of the recliner.
I'm sure some of those dads in there. Fuck.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
It's almost like that's how you earn your stripes.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Oh yeah, now that was the delivery room. I will
say post delivery room. No recliner. Couch was terrible. But
how long were you in this post delivery room? Oh?
A full day into the night, and then another full
day to about uh seven pm. So you slept on

(18:57):

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Are you lying to me?

Speaker 2 (19:00):

I need you slept on the couch. She might tell
you that I slept too much on the couch. Okay,
she might tell you I slept too much on the couch.
But anytime we FaceTime, you look vibrant. That's what I'm saying.

We had So what did somebody? They said, somebody on here? Yeah,
Sean was like twelve hours. Is in saying you talking
about how you slept twelve hours last week. My nine
month old boy's teething right now, and we woke up

extreame smart. It was incredible. We got Tommy Boy rolling
on the TV Jill and never seen Tommy Boy. Shout
out Tommy Boy.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
But Jill's overall note was I want you to have fun
and keep the mood light going into labor. That is
my only assignment to you, Sherman is I want to
keep it light. And I don't know if people that
follow me on Twitter Instagram saw that college football hype
video style I put it to scrilla. Oh buddy, it
was awesome. I loved watching it, made that hype video.

(20:18):
I didn't show it to her right before delivery, as
I'm sure people that we're reading it and this fucking
my question I have is Uh, was she the one
filming you? She wanted to Yeah, she wanted to film me. Okay,
so that shot.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
When you when you're sitting there in your headphones and
going on im like laughing to myself, thinking are they
hit the hostle right now? And Jilli Bean you mind
you might just hit a little record for me As
I just kind of sit with my headphones on.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
There's four people in the waiting room watching it go
down too, and they're probably looking at us like these
fucking idiots they.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Probay just a quick time out. Are your people hearing this?

Speaker 2 (20:57):
I would assume they hear the rain, but not to
the degree that would be like it's loud right now?
It is right now? It is, But even with the
AC that was like running in the back. Oh, it
just got even louder. I know, I know. We might
want to wait for it to die down just a
little bit, or we can press on take five.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
We can take five, but we gotta keep it under
an hour. Fuck, we interrupt this episode. Make sure you're
subscribed to the podcast. Just another reminder for the dads
out there, but we interrupt this episode because we are
sponsored by Roe Fellas. Are you ever sitting there some
late night, maybe you're in bed, maybe you got the
sleep mask on, and your wife she starts feeling on
your leg a little bit and you're just thinking to yourself.

(21:39):
Or maybe you're watching a movie on the couch and
she starts nestling a little close and you're thinking, is
this gonna happen to night?

Speaker 2 (21:45):
And do I got it in me? There's no more
worrying about that?

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Boys? Why because of Roe sparks. Roe sparks are a
two and one prescription treatment for guys who need a
secret weapon against softness. Rose sparks can give guys bigger, thicker,
longer erections because they get fuller faster after roast sparks
is offs. They work in fifteen minutes on average, and
if prescribed, new sexual health patients get fifteen dollars off

(22:10):
their first order of sparks on a recurring plan. Connect
with the provider at road dot co slash dads to
find out if prescription road sparks are right for you.
That is ro dot co slash dads for fifteen dollars
off your first order. Compounded drugs are permitted to be

Sorry for the quick interruption. It was as a dad
would say, it was raining cats and dogs outside, it's
raining cats and dogs, and say, you see, I got
some I got some rain on me right now. But
we had to adapt. We had to improvise. We had
to overcome as is parenting.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yes, welcome to for the dad's new studio.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, yeah, we had to. We had to just get
on the bus because it helps with the sound. Is
the rain was getting so loud. I don't know if
you guys were hearing it in your audio, but it
gets so loud. At Term's voice gets a little bit
more faint. So we had to make a pivot. We
had to make a call because we got to keep
this under ant. We gotta keep it on. I got
to keep it under an hour.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
I told Jill two thirty. It's one forty three.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, we'll keep it.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
We'll keep it under an hour, and you know it.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
I don't want to talk hypotheticals, talk hypothetical Uddie.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
I love you. I'm gonna make it to that.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
But if you're home at two thirty seven.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
That's fine.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
It's a dad loss, dad loss. Good for the show,
great for the show. But we had to make a change.
So we're we're in a different studio right now. We're
on the bus with the boys studio. I appreciate you
doing am make sure you subscribe, but sometimes you gotta
you gotta adapt on the the environment, the elements to you. Yeah,
we got some elements. Sometimes you're gonna want to be
at a pool thinking you're gonna be at the pool
for about four hours, and it's gonna cut short and

(24:06):
go to two because someone's losing their mind. I'm talking
to you, Rue, but uh, carry on with carry on
with your story. I kind of forgot where we were,
but I did have a what are the odds? Oh you,
I had what are the odds? I like that what
are the odds? Shout out the shout out the partner
fan duel in the background. But I had a what
are the odds. What are the odds that Jill stayed

(24:32):
at fort Is that Mitch, it's Matt. Yeah, we're recording.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Hey, shout out, Matt entered Matt.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
What are the odds that Jill sat at four centimeters
over under an hour? What are the odds that you
had an incredibly smooth delivery, one that a lot of
parents would be.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Jel one that people legitimately would get angry about, like
when I facetimed you yesterday and you were checking in
on the FAM and yeah, how to go blah blah blah,
Like a part of me, it hurt a part of
me to tell you how our experience went, because it
was so good.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
It was just what everybody wants.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Which is what everybody if you have.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
An experience like I'm thinking like mine, like who knows
how it's gonna go in there? Then you're out great.
Everything was if anything, As a dad, I don't want
to tell Charle how smooth it went, yeah, because she's
gonna be off, just kidding, she's gonna no, no, no,
But truly, I mean for some of these moms and stuff,
like they get there too late, they don't get there
epidural what everybody. Everybody hopes for the delivery you're about

(25:45):
to tell us about.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Of course, and Jill, I mean, it absolutely kills it.
My one of my favorite moments I'll never forget is
we uh both fall sleep, Jill though it's like sleeping
in our intervals or like an hour thirty interval, but
because nurse is coming in and checking her because they
gave her the induction in the mouth and I forget

(26:06):
the name of that pill. But that's not the potosin.
That's not the it's the one before potosinin, pre potosin pill.
So they give her pre potosent pill. It did it
didn't really do anything. So during the middle of the
night while I'm snooze on recliner being dead of the year, they.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Sweet know I just edited up this video. You did
a great job in the past.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
I would just literally what I did. You go over there,
I'm in the recliner doing this. I'm going like this
here in the bed, I'm holding her hand like truly
was so comfy, dude, It's kind of insane how well
it is. Yes, this is me and a recliner with Jill.

(26:52):
Brought these like silk pillows and I have a Barefoot
Dreams blanket.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Like I'll tell you what you hat. Like your survival
kid was ready to.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Go because of jillybe I mean, Jill was so freaking
dial dude. And when we have more time, I want
to do a full survival kit breakdown to everybody, because
it looked like we're going on a two week vacation
with those bags that we were bringing in worth we
used every single thing we brought, and I swear to
god we did because the luggage, it may look like

(27:23):
that was all closed. It was really like a ton
of gear burp cloths, diapers. Uh was it called a
premie diaper? Because uh Scarlet was tiny five five pounds
seven ounces when she came out five pounds seven ounces,
She's smaller than a baby doll. And so we're having
to use the premi uh dipe's and all this stuff.

(27:45):
But we'll we'll do that another time, and like that
could even be a great like if Jill wanted to
do a call in or something.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
We need to have the wives, Yeah it's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, Jill's survival kit was not so dude, and so
like we really were set up for the absolute worst.
That thank god never happened. And so my favorite moment
was waking up at like six am, and it was
truly like the scene and Saving Private Ryan where he
loses his hearing on the beach and that guy's and says,

(28:19):
what do we do now?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Sir.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Jill's like over me. Netflix says are you still watching
blah blah blah like on the screen, and she's like, honey,
I'm contracting, yeah, yeah, yeah, and I get out of
the recliner. She's doing the So what unbeknownst to me
in the middle of the night, that thing that they
put in her mouth. They then did it in the

(28:43):
downstairs later that night to see how that would go. Well,
she went from two. She showed up two centimeters dilated
and for the dad's at home, that's just the cervix,
which is kind of the gate that the baby has
to go through to enter into the opening where the
baby's gonna come out. So she shows up at a two.

(29:05):
That little thing that they inserted got her to a four.
Nurse comes in checks her, she's at four centimeters. In
my head, I go, oh bub because we have a
family friend that said at four centimeters as well. For
a long time. Not as long as Charro, but a
long time. So I hear four centimeters, I think of you,
and I think of our family friend. I text you
and I say we're at four centimeters. And in my

(29:27):
head it's like, we're at four centimeters. We're at four centimeters.
I'm just like, oh no, that likes.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Old trigger number.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Oh please, please please. So then they hit her with
the potosin. We go about three or four hours. All
of a sudden, Jill is like, I really feel pressure,
like Sherman, I feel pressure and it feels like I
need to poop. And they say that if you feel
like you need to poop, you're gonna have your baby.
And so she tells nurse it's only been three hours

(29:54):
since the potosin. So nurse is kind of like, we'll
get the midwives in here in a little bit, Well
them check you. And then she kind of stopped and
she looked at Jill and she was like, how much pressure?
And Jill was like a lot of pressure. Well, she
gets her flashlight out, goes underneath the hood, goes, we'll
get the midwives. Midwives come in, they go fully dilated.

(30:15):
She went from four to ten in three hours. Oh,
my four to ten centimeters in three hours.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
The white walkers were at the wall, at the.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Wall, and this walker on the wall was having to
get in the zone. In that moment, it was like
everything stops. And thankfully Jill had kind of like trained
me and put me through the ringer to know what
to expect.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
So why you have your coffee?

Speaker 2 (30:42):
No, didn't have coffee the entire time I was there.
But the one thing that I forgot to say, dude,
is Jill was like, I want to feel some of
the contractions before I get the epidural. But Sherman, it's
your job make sure that I get on that epidural.
I don't want to miss it. Blah blah blah. When
she was sitting at four and like contracting really hard,

(31:03):
like before they came in to say she was at ten,
She's like, I don't know, sh I gelln the epidural.
Sh I'm like in my head like Rocky too or
Rocky four, throwing the damn towel, Like I'm sitting there
going take the epidural right now? Why are we waiting?
She's like, I want to finish my yogurt because I
can't eat after I have epidura. I got the yogurt.

(31:26):
I'm force feeding your yogurt. I'm like, finish this freaking yogurt.
Because you like girl, you gotta get the epidural. We
get the epidural. They come in, She's at a ten.
We gotta start pushing. Right before we're about to push,
they're like, hey, we don't have an o R room
open for Jill in case things go south, so we
have to suspend pushing as long as we can Jill

(31:49):
until an our room, an operating room opens up in
case things go south. In the meantime, would you want
anesthesiologists to come in and give you another hit because
it seems like you have a lot of discomfort. Jill
was like, yes, that was the biggest blessing in disguise.
They came in, dude and mainlined some stuff into Jill,

(32:10):
and Jill gives me that look. After fifteen minutes of
getting mainlined with whatever they put in that cocktail, she's like,
I'm ready to push. I feel good, like I'm ready
to go. And they came in. They tell her, Hey,
you're gonna do three pushes per round. It looks like
this dad, you're gonna hold feet the other nurse is

(32:31):
gonna hold the other foot.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
You're holding feet, so you're south of the wall.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
I was a watcher on the wall I had. I
was able to see south of the wall where the
white Walkers were coming, and I was or sorry, north
of the wall where the white Walkers are coming and
south of the wall. So I was able to see
both concentrating on Jill but also like interested in seeing
what's going on down there, because midwife was like, Dad,

(32:56):
if you want to look, baby's head is literally right there.
That was before we even started pushing. It's because little
Scarlet is so small, dude.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
She just positioned well.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Positioned well, she knew her role. She was like, I'm ready,
We're doing this right now.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
I do.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
I've never been more proud of Jill. Jill was such
a gangster dude, like such a stud. During the pushing,
she did four rounds of three pushes, and each time,
like on the third push, I'd be like, there's not
a shot in hell, She's gonna give it what she
did the first two, the third one would always be
the strongest. Scarlet would move the most. On the third one.

(33:34):
You would hear the midwives go good, there it is there,
it is And I'm sitting there and I'm like, Jill's
a beast, dude. She just covered in sweat and each
time just taking the biggest breast and just bearing down.
I was like, God, I'm so proud of her, Like
she's freaking killing it. And then on the fourth round
of pushes, Scarlet came out. On the third round, Midwife

(33:56):
looks at her right before we start the fourth pushes
and looks at Jill and goes, hey, it's a really
cool moment for moms that i can get her out
very easily.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
I'm not worried.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
I'm gonna get her to her torso and you can
reach down and physically pull her up if you want
to do that. Are you interested in that?

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Jill?

Speaker 2 (34:15):
And Jill was like, yeah, I want to do that.
She was like, okay, when I tell you you reach
it out, you'll grab her and you just bring her
to your chest. And on that third push they got
Scarlet out to her torso. She was holding her umbilical
cord like Batman doing his you know, little gun, and
she comes out like this, and Jill just reached down
there and grabs Scarlet and brought her to her chest.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
It was unreal, dude, that is incredible.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I'm looking at my wife like, who are you? Like,
that's so sick.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Isn't it wild seeing your wife go through that.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Yes, And I told her like beforehand, I don't know
because I don't know childbirth, but I'm like, if there's
anybody that can do it, it's you. Like, she's such
a pusher, she's such a grinder, Like, yeah, she just
has that mentality, but she also has a lot of
fearfulness and anxiety. Yeah, and beforehand, I was like, if
anybody's got it, it's you. You're going to destroy this.

(35:11):
And then to see her go out on the field
and perform like you think she's going to make a
coach proud, Make a coach proud, dude, and then that
moment was scarlet.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Man.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
I can send you some picture, chef, if you want
to put on the episode. Dude, I'm water works obviously.
Y'all saw me last week.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
It was amazing. It was amazing.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
That's incredible, bro.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
And yeah, and I hope that on like everybody that
has a delivery coming up, expecting fathers and stuff. You
wish that on everybody. But we were blessed enough to
have that and it was awesome.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Any any lapses on your part, any any dad losses?
I did.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
I actually have a dad loss, but it's a it's
a motherfucked this week? Do you have a dad loss?

Speaker 1 (35:58):
I do have a dad loss.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Do you want to go first? I can do my
mother from.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah, so my dad loss this week is going to
go to a dad loss that I took losing I
lost control of myself, losing control of Rue.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Oh no.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah. So we got back from our fourth of July,
from our fourth of July weekend. We got back on Saturday,
and we went to the pool on Sunday, and we
were expecting to be we got there early, so that
way we had a good, good little spot, good little setup,
and we're gonna enjoy a little pool day and we're
hoping to be there probably around four hours. And it

(36:37):
got cut short two two and a half hours because
Rue ended up losing her mind throwing a tantrum and
it was one of those ones where she was throwing
a tantrum and it was like all right. We told like,
I told her, I'm like, hey, if you don't stop
doing this, I'm gonna have to take you somewhere else.
We're gonna have to leave the pool and walk somewhere

(36:58):
until you can calm down. Because she wanted it. She
was very particular. It's like you have a three year
old and their brains, they're just their vocabulary is growing.
They're they're understanding a lot more, but they're also limited
in how they can like verbally communicate. So they're just
dealing with big emotions on how to communicate perfectly. Because
she's very particular. Yeah, and we were like playing this

(37:19):
game in the pool where you know, she had this
crab and she wanted to either drop the crab down
underwater and go down and get it by herself, but
she couldn't do it by herself. So I'm like, do
you want that to help? You know? I can do
it by myself. And I'm like, okay, do by myself. No, No,
I can't. I can't. And so you're just caught in
this argument of like what do you want? Yeah, like notebook,

(37:41):
what do you want? Real? Yeah, what do you want? Rue?
Like you have to you're telling me you don't want help,
But I'm like, okay, you go ahead and do it.
I can't. I can't do it by myself. Okay, well
then you need me. What do you need me to do?
And we're kind of caughting this back and forth, so
I pigure out, my we're gonna have to get out
of the pool, go and remove it from the situation,
remove it from the environment. She's having a tantrum. You

(38:02):
can't communicate well when they're having a tantrum, so you're
just trying to You're just trying to like be their
form so that way they can calm down.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
You're getting there to the sideline, You're you're showing their tape.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, and these tantrums, Bro, I'm talking fucking insane. It's
like I have to. I hate to be like the
dead law you'll see one day. But it's like, Bro,
they're like shaking their they're stiffening their bodies up, like
you try to try to pick them up. And I'm
trying to like hug her and trying to force hug
her and let her know to come down, and she's
just like full stiff, like streaming. Yeah, She's like I

(38:36):
want mama, I want mama. And I'm like, I'll take
you to mama if you can just calm down just
a little bit, go over to Mama, because you know
they're they're out, We're like we're in public, so you
feel like you're getting the looks. You feel like you're
getting all these things. Yeah, I'm probably my own head
about it a little bit. I'll take you back over
to Mama when you can calm down. And she's fucking screaming, like, Mama,
see Mama, see Mama like this that the other room.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
You have to calm down, like she wants to see.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
You're gonna work yourself up. You're gonna it's it's gonna hurt.
You're trying to like say all these things to her,
try to get her to calm down. And I'm standing
there and she's just like sitting down in the corner
and she continues to scream, and I just fucking I
lost it. I lost it. There's like like a demonic
part of my soul started to fill up. I was
getting so angry inside, and I was trying to stay calm.

(39:22):
I was trying to stay collected.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
I saw that NCA Impact player at Nebraska.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, And I was like me, wasn't
they just see my face? They probably know what I'm
talking about too, And I just reached down there. It's
like it's like I'm sitting there, I'm thinking about all
the times my dad would just spank me, and I'm
thinking I'm not gonna spank her, and I just I
just grab her. I'm like, crow, hey, I'm gonna, I'm

(39:50):
gonna we're gonna go to Mama. We are gonna go
to mom right now. And she's like looking away. I'm
like look at me, and she's like looking away, and
I grab her by the face and look over. I'm like,
look at me. Take you to mom. But you better
stop right now because this is bullshit. And she's you know,
she's I have her face grab looking at me, and

(40:11):
she's trying to like calm down because she's like hyperventilation.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Yeah, so she's not really making noise anymore. She's just
kind of like breathing, and I like take her. She's
got her goggles on, her little rainbow goggles, and I
like rip her rainbow goggles off, and you like you
just like grab them and pick them up and you're
like whipping them around on your body. You're like, I'm
gonna take you to mom, but you are going to
calm down as I walk over here.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
You're not hurting her, but you're also showing her, Hey,
dad has got some strength. Yeah you want to play
with Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah. It got to a point that where like, all right,
we're stop this whole. I'm gonna be calm and we're
gonna play. I'm gonna be nice and be this parent
that you're just gonna stay poised and you're gonna just
sit there with them and be there with them. No,
that that turned off. My heart turned black.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
That's I so far, this kind of sounds like a win.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
I know the part where you feel like it's a
dad loss is you feel better about it when you're
driving homework. I'm like thinking about it all day because
I got down there, I got on her level and
I grabbed her face and I like, I like put
it over the mind. I'm like, look at me, you
were going to stop this ship right now. It picked
her up, like you know, like grabbed her goggles, ripped
it off her head, and I'm like marching over over

(41:17):
to my wife and I can just hear her hyperventilation,
her like little breast. And that's what makes me feel
bad is I'm like, I'm sure I shocked her in
the moment, which it's like she needed that. In my
hi brain, I'm like, hey, she did, That's what the
moment calls for. That's what you had to do. I
had to stop the bleeding. I walk over there and
I just like kind of toss her kind of like
toss her down on the chair.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Here's your daughter.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she wants you, she wants you. I
can't do this right now. I like go and take
a walk. And we have to leave because she like
she works herself back up again, and we're just like hey,
oh really, We're like, hey, we're leaving. We're not doing this.
We're not doing She's got to know that she cannot
act this way, she cannot behave this way. We are leaving. Yeah,
And so we end up going home and everything else.

(41:59):
And I was so upset. We were both Charles and
I both we were both upset. We both did a
little bit of yelling you're just disappointing.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Y'all, or her at her, like we're.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Getting in and she still like worked up. Charles snaps
at her.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
So Charles on your side in this moment, yeah, because
she's she's well, oh yeah, but of how you hand
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
She didn't like, she didn't mind it. She didn't mind high.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
I know.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
We talked later and we were kind of like laughing
about it, and I was like, Okay, I gotta tell you,
like I went down, I got on her level and
I grabbed her by the face and like jerked it
over to mine. Oh yeah, And it's like you wanna
I wanted to. I wanted to tattoo or ask.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Bro oh yeah, And I dude, I've I think you
did a great job in that moment of expressing. It's
like those tiktoks of like the parents that tried to
exhibit that, Like, I know you're feeling bad right now,
but how can I help you in this situation as
you're having a tantrum.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah I can't do that. Yeah, No, you're right called
for it. Yeah, it called for it. It's just like
it's like you're thinking about it the rest of the
day because when I'm reacting, I'm not doing it is
like predetermined this is the right move to do. I'm like,
I'm like losing my I'm like losing all my emotion
to where I'm like physically like grabbing her and jerking

(43:18):
around and turning her face, ripping her goggles off, and
I'm like thinking on, I'm just like thinking back to mind.
I'm like, man, I lost full composure because I was
fucking pissed off. I know that's gonna happen. But that's
like my dad, because it's funny because you're little your
little boy, your little girl, whatever it is. They're like
the only being in the world where you can be

(43:39):
so fucking mad. I'm talking so fucking mad to where
you stay mad at him like I wasn't cool with
Rue for a good couple hours, yeah, or a good
hour to where it's like, hey, no, if you want
to apologize to us, you're not gonna do it sitting
on the couch over there and just say I'm sorry,
I'm sorry for acting that way. No, you're gonna walk
over to me and you're gonna look at me. You
told her that, Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're gonna say sorry

(44:01):
to me, and you're also gonna walk over and you're
gonna look at your mom and you're gonna say sorry
to mom. And how you're gonna give us both of
She did good, she did it, and it's like it's
and then later on I had to get a sweat
in charl and knew I kind of needed a moment.
She's like, Hey, I'm gonna go take a ridge at
the grocery store. Yeah, you do whatever you gotta do.
So I kind of had an hour to like decompress
and everything else. And what I was gonna say is,

(44:23):
like this little human they're the only one. They're the
only beings in the world that you can be so
fucking mad at. But the minute she gets home and
I'm upstairs and I hear from downstairs like that that
were are you dad? Dad? Dad? Dad? Look come come
yuke at this, come yuke at this, And you like
have a smile on your face because you're like excited

(44:43):
to see them again, and you're just like, well, their
brains just move on because they're dealing with so you know,
they're dealing with all their big emotions, and I'm kind
of you know, you're kind of you kind of go
from all the way at one hundred to where it's
just completely gone when they come home and like, dad,
that come yuke, come yuk, that the were are you? You're sweetheart?
It's good to see you.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
Don't stand a chance. A good way, yeah, a good way.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
I chalked it up as his dad lost. Now talking
through and talking to you, now, you've made me feel
better about what my decisions and actions were good. But
I just felt like it got to that moment to
where all this this what do you need from me
bullshit was out the fucking door. Yeah, hard had to
turn black. Papacile had to go in full effect in
the trenches.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
One hundred percent, dude. And like for my dad, I
feel like I had a very healthy dose of discipline
with my brother. And I have a older brother of
a four year shout out to Jordan, very healthy discipline.
It was never too much or anything like that healthy
relationship with dad growing up. But all Mom had to

(45:46):
say sometimes was you wait till your dad gets home
from work. Yeah, and bro, that's.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
All I had. That was that was my kind of
I mean, he would dan my ass.

Speaker 4 (45:54):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Oh yeah, he got to the point where that's all
she had to do. I'm up in my room bawling,
and then I hear the garage door open.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
I'm cooked.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Yeah, what the hell was I think? And so like
I think, not that you like showed force, but like
you you showed her that. Hey, if you get to
a level like dad as it might be your favorite person,
but he is not cool with that kind of behavior.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
Yeah. I strongly believe it's like, uh, yeah, they have
to they have to understand there's gonna be consequences. Yeah.
I think everybody agrees with that. And she never got
We're not gonna sit here at the pool. We're not
gonna stay until this is all kumbay and then you're
gonna go back in the pool. We're gonna have fun.
Because then, to me, in my brain, I'm thinking we're
just enabling a hundred behavior was until you got what
you wanted? Yeah, because once you started to working back

(46:39):
in Like Charna, we were both wanting a pool day,
Like I'm wanting to sit out there and catch some rays.
I'm honestly pissed that we're having to leave, but I'm like,
we have to leave because she has to know that
this ship is not all right. Yeah, because Scotty was
being great and again, the vibes were good, and man,
we wanted a good pool day.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
That's the dad loss in it all.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Yeah, it's just like the dad loss. Losing out on
a good pool day. Yeah, that's the dad loss.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
That's the dad loss.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
That's the dad loss.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
You need a good pool day. Yeah, and I love that,
Like she didn't get what she wanted in the moment,
Slash didn't get the residuals of that moment because she's
getting to the age where she realizes Mama's and Dada
has wanted to be at the pool too. And I'm
guessing family friends were there, right, was this?

Speaker 1 (47:22):
No, it was just us. This was back in the
Nashville and sorry went on Sunday morning.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
Okay, cool, but I mean still a fun time. She
knows mama's and dad does want to have a fun
time at the pool too.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
No talking this out. You're right, You're right. The loss
was not having a full pool day for the fans.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Okay, good?

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Was the parents not having a pool day?

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Good? Because you're right, Yeah, as you were going through that, guys,
like I was waiting for like the spanking or whatever.
And when it never like you feel.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
It's more like you know you you beat yourself up
when you fucking like I like lost myself, you know
what I mean? Yes, even though it's like talking through it,
like hey, that's what the moment I need it or
that's how I'm just fighting my head. Yeah, could be right,
could be wrong. Whatever. It's like, I'm thinking back, like
I lost full composure of myself because I got so fucking.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
And I know, I know that I'm speaking way out
of turn. We just said I'm a buck private for
Papa Team six. But I know for a fact that
Papa Team six doesn't sitting that helicopter with a little
airhorn calling down going hey you better stop that, don't
do that. That helicopter's laying ropes are coming down. We're
we're descending, and we're getting in the ship. We're getting

(48:31):
in the firefight. If you're Papa Team six.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Yeah, this is a moment where you want to do it.
I want to do waterboard.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
That's okay, that's okay. Hey you might think thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
What was we gotta keep this?

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Yeah, okay, my motherfucked is actually really quick this week,
which which will help left Scarlet this morning unattended for
five seconds on the change on the changing table and
what you have to do? What was the was I
was changing her and uh I didn't have the right diapers.

(49:14):
We have the newborn diapers, and like we talked about earlier,
Scarlet is quite literally the size of a peanut. So
we're having to use premium diapers right now, or else
you're having to use the actual newborn diapers and you're
rolling those suckers over like three times. Yeah, just to
get it to where like it's fitting on her. So
I go, oh, the premis are on the kitchen counter,

(49:37):
and her nursery is right there. I mean I could
get there in uh eight steps, Max, So I'm like, oh,
go grab it, just not even thinking like she's on
the changing table. It's the you know, shaped like U shaped.
It would take a lot for her to roll off.
In my dad brain, I'm like, hey, she's a good Yeah,
I got I gotta get to work. I gotta get

(49:58):
your change. And so I left the room and Jill goes,
what do you need? I go, I need the premium.
And then she sees that I have no baby in hand.
She goes where is she? And I go, she's She's
on the changing table, full sprint, full sprint, and like
we have hardwood floors. I mean it sounded like, uh

(50:18):
the Mama bear was charging and she held back on me.
I thank her for holding back on me. I did
when Cheff.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Tell me you didn't say, sweetheart, they can't roll it.
Oh no, oh, you gotta zip it up.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
I knew I fucked up real quick, because.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
That's a pure That's just a motherfucked moment with the wife,
wouldn't It's like, you know, you went and you grab
the debt, you grab the Premi diapers. Yeah, they're really
not going to go anywhere. It's a few seconds, but
we're not gonna say that. But effect, if you're listening
right now, Jilly Bean, you do not here a say no,
baby's not going nowhere in five seconds.

Speaker 5 (50:53):
No.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
And also, if Jill and Charlo had their own podcast,
that's like Jill's dad loss. Essentially, it's like, what the
fuck was Sherman thinking? Like why did you think that
was okay? Which I understand that now. I understand that now.
And Chef heard me on a phone call with Jill
before we started recording. You heard a lot of yes
ma'ams in that phone conversation. I'm sure a lot of

(51:16):
yes ma'ams.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Yeah, you gotta be dials right now.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
I'm a little bit I'm not in the doghouse, but
let's just keep this thing under it.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Now. These are moments you're just gonna have to take
in and accept and absorb. Yeah, whether right, wrong, indifferent.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Oh yeah, did not fight her, honey. I am so sorry, honey,
I really am so sorry. What I also didn't know?
This is kind of a dad loss too. I do
have a dad loss. I have been waking up at
the feeding time. So I had a two thirty feeding time,
a five thirty feeding time last night. Yeah, I woke

(51:53):
up at the feeding times unbeknownst to Jill. So I
really wasn't feeding her until like three, three thirty six,
six thirties.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
You gotta get the ball, you gotta get it ready.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Yes, and get her change and stuff like piss her
off before you feed her. So then she's like awake
and you know, ready to feed. And so Jill realized
that this morning because I had a seven o'clock feeding
time and she walks in there and it's you know,
like seven forty five eight, and she's like, are you
just out feeding her? I was like, yeah, like so proud,

(52:26):
so proud, so proud in that moment, Yes, honey, I'm
feeding her. And she Honnie, she's taking it down. She
already got one ounce down, She's only got another ounce
to go, and she I could tell, and just so
much rage in her mind. She did a great job
of just in that moment, stopping and communicating. You need

(52:48):
to be waking up at least forty five minutes before though,
what are you five? Oh yeah, thirty to forty five
minutes before the feeding time because she needs to be
changed and in mouth by feeding time, because, like y'all know,
it takes me a while to get out of bed.
So forty five minutes she's gone loses, she's going off
Sherman's hime. Yeah, she was like, that bottle needs to

(53:10):
be in mouth at feeding time.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
This is where you harness for the dads out there listening,
you harness these motherfucked moments. Yeah, and these are nice
little conversations in chemistry builders with your little one. Yeah, hey,
Mama didn't like that I left you for five seconds.
We're gonna keep the secret between us that you're gonna
be okay. I know you know that, I know I
know that you're not rolling. Yeah, she's doing a great job.

(53:35):
She just went through a lot. There's a lot going
on that she can't control. We're just gonna keep this
between us. I knew you were good. You knew I
was good. You knew I was gonna be back quick
and five ten seconds.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
Hey, those those twenty different babies that came into her
hospital when she was a nurse. Yeah, bad skull fractures
because this exact thing happened.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
I know you're not gonna be I know you're not
gonna get a skull frac Come on.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
And she just tell me that calmly, yeah, very sweetly, honey.
I have seen over ten cases of this myself. You
cannot do that, Okay, Yes, ma'am, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
I didn't handle it great. Yeah, you handled it great.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
And what stunked you?

Speaker 5 (54:13):

Speaker 2 (55:02):
Okay, to segue into my crack a cold one. Jill
has got me fully dialed on uh feeding, Like, I
feel good, dude, And I know it's a day to
day thing. People are probably listening. They're going Sherman thinks
he's got it all figured out, but like, I gotta
find the wins where I can find him. And I

(55:22):
was so freaking nervous and scared about dipey changes feeding
and stuff, and Jill has me like a well oiled machine.
I'm just going off her playbook.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
Yeah, and I.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Love the old The feeding techniques are named after football terminology.
You have football through points of contact, you have sideline. Yeah,
I'm like I can roll with this.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
I was like, I'm gonna go with football. I'll do football.
And they're like, all you gotta do is piss her off,
change her her her tires, her diapers, get her pissed,
turn all the lights on, wake their ass up, take
the onesie off, let them sit there a little bit
on the change of tail, let them get cold. Yeah,
they start doing the.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Yeah, they're trying to spas.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
And then as soon as I see that mouth got
I get her in football and bottle in mouth, dude,
and she's got a really good suck. Even the nurses
were like, weird terminology. But the nurses are.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Like, yo, you gotta you gotta you gott an eater.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
I got an eater, Dude. She is a peanut. But boy,
she likes foodies.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
That's good. It's good. Like you're saying, it'll change, and
you gotta find the wins where you can find them.
But it's better to be absolutely dialed every step of
the way. So that way when you get a little
off track, or something happens, or something changes, or she
starts to get a little pissed off, or adversity's gonna strike. Yeah, yeah,
you're gonna be so dialed in on step one that hey,
you'll be ready to learn step two. Yes, you'll be

(56:49):
ready to roll with the punches.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
We'll be ready to roll with the punches. So that
five point thirty feeting, that's my crack of cole when
we got blood lights here. Uh shout out bud Light
for sponsoring the podcast. Sponsoring the podcast.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
Yeah, my krak of coal, one's gonna go to speaking
of cracking a cold one and drinking a lot of
bud Lights and some neutrals. The Fourth of July party.
I think there is a moment where we're all sitting
around and I made the comment like this, Uh, the
party now looks a lot different than it did a
few years ago, because a few years ago, it's like

(57:24):
you're not married. Maybe somebody has a young kid or
like a newborn or something, but other that, some of
the friends that we have, it's like their kids are
like in high school and we're all these not married men,
still boys, like introducing our wives or girlfriends or whatever
it is. And now years later we're sitting there and
I'm looking around and you got one of the boys
that were in high school, he's graduated high school. I

(57:46):
got two kids of my own. My best friend Nick
and Chuck, they got two kids of their own. Like
we have all these little kids. We have all these babies.
Adam Fodle Shout out the boy Adam, who is our
you know, host at the Saint Louis Cardinals.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
Oh yeah, he's up.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
He's he's with the Cardinals. But he's got four kids
in his like eight or nine year old McKinley. She's
helping out. You got people like Scotty's sleeping on Caitlin,
my brother's girlfriend. It's more of like this tribal mentality.
We're having this party, and I'm sitting around looking at
and mentioning the Kenny and to everybody, like how different
this party looks now that we all have families and

(58:19):
we all have kids. Because there's a water slide up now,
Like the annual cornhole party still happen at Kenny's house.
Shout out the boy Kenny Farcas. But we go to
his spot. He's got a spot, dude, Yeah, he's got
a great sup. He's got a garage. Or you can
have the cornhole tournament out there in the gravel. We
got the backyards up to where there's tents because we've
learned how hot it gets every year. You need more tents.
There's ten yeah, tailgate tents. There's big fans because you

(58:43):
know there's gonna be kiddos and little children because you're wanting,
you know, the parents to stick around as long as
we can until it's bedtime. And uh, it's just one
of those moments to where you just crack a cold
one to the moment because you're looking around and you
see all your friends to where there's new families, there's
of ours that has their kids and they're graduating. There
later in high school, you got some kids that are

(59:05):
helping out with the other kids. Everybody's kind of letting
and helping hand knowing that everybody's got kids now and
you're kind of just sitting there with your boys that
you grew up with that you're having all these whether
it's barbecues or whatever, to celebrate us graduating high school,
us going off to college, us graduating college, and now
we're at the point to where we're all sitting there
with our families. And even though it only happens once

(59:26):
a year, it's like you're cherishing those moments because you
don't know how many times you get to see all
your friends and all your close ones, like in the
same spot with each other, with the kiddos around the
same age, and they're making friends and you hope it
continues to be something where we get with each other
more than just once a year. Yeah, so you just know, like, hey,
we're going back to Missouri or we're gonna have them

(59:47):
forour the July party, and she knows she's gonna go
back and see Hudson, Grady, Chip, all of them do
to you.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
I think this will make that even better for you.
Not to make about myself, but I grew up with
a very similar situation. Shout out Possum Kingdom Lake for
all the eight one seven ers and two one fours
in the DFW area. We'd go to the same lake house.
I would see my two favorite or like same favorite friends,
Natalie and Emily. We'd stay at their lake house. And Dude,

(01:00:20):
I'm telling you, Fourth of July is my favorite holiday
because of that. But I mean we did it for
like almost ten years straight, and so Rue, yeah, Ru
and Scotty are going to appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
Like a tradition to just look forward to even Yes,
do you get the ones a year to get around?
Yes to everybody that's.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
Gonna be in a ton to them when they get older.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):

Survival kit, survival kit, My survival Kit edition will be
go to music in a long car ride, so prefaces.
We drove back to Missouri on Thursday morning. On Wednesday,

(01:03:04):
our ac upstairs went out. Both kiddles were getting over sicknesses.
Good you gotta be dialed in. Good were we were
in the trenches. I had to get an HVAC guy over.
Shout out the boy, Robbie. They fixed the problem we needed,
like some compressor or some new part that broke or
whatever it was. But the upstairs was sitting in ninety
degrees and it was blowing out hot air. Bro. Thankfully,

(01:03:27):
the first floor was good. So the kids are napping
on the first floor. But all to say, like your
kind of backs up against the wall. We're about to
travel again. Long car ride to Missouri about a five
hour drive. Recently we went to Florida and that's like
an eight hour eight nine hour drive. Yeah, both both
of them they're in back. Was absolute hell. And all
I'm thinking of, hell, hell, bro. And so you're going

(01:03:54):
into this five hour car ride and you're just hoping
for the best. Yeah, I shit you not. It was
one of those situations to where I would conservatively, conservatively
say at least three and a half hours of that
five hour drive. One of them were screaming. One of
them was screaming. Oh, it was mostly Scotty, and it
was bumming me out because she's our little seven month

(01:04:15):
going on eight months old. Yeah, she's the best, dude.
And it's like she's starting to get a little more wiggly,
she's starting to not want to be confined to the
car seat. And she was just blaring bro and Charles's
back there. God bless her. She's showing a rocker and
singing to her and do all the things because you're
not wanting to take him out of the car seat,
like that's a bad thing. Yeah. Yeah, And she's like

(01:04:38):
shaking a couple of hard extra times and I'm up there.
She's like, Scotty, come on, come on, like I'm right here.
I'm right here because she's a big mama's girl right now. Yeah.
And I'm singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, just on repeat
up while I'm driving, and I'm doing the trying to
create white noise. We're playing white noise. We probably get

(01:04:58):
them both down for an hour, but it was it
was hell man, because it gets so loud. Rue is
doing a great job trying to be patient. She starts
off really rocky. We're like, dude, we can't do this. Yes,
it's a long drive. She's like, I don't want long drives.
Why is this so hard? And she heard phrases right
now is why is this so hard and I can't
do it. And it's like you're sitting there like it's
only as hard as you make it. Rue, you start

(01:05:19):
to get worked up and you're trying to like talk
them down, Like, dude, we're locked in the car. You think, Dad,
I wants to be locked in the car. You think
I want to drive five hours locked in four doors
with you guys screaming. No, Dada doesn't want that. But
is Dada crying? Is that isn't? How hard is this? No?

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
You got to.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Embrace the hard room. You have to embrace the suck.
We're in the.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
Sock let your heart turned black?

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
Yeah? What can we what can we look at out
the window? Can we start trying to guess letters? What's
on this side, what's on that? What's on that side?
You want us to do a song? I can't do it.
I can't with this kid. I can't with this kid
right now. She ends up getting calm, and then Scottie
is pissed about being in.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
The car seat and you can't. Then it gets the word.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
Ru's like you're yelling hurts my ears, It hurts me.
I'm like, Rue, sweetheart, that's not helping her. She's a baby.
She doesn't know you did this when you were little.
Mama and Dadda had to sit through. You gotta just no,
I get your calmer down, and no, stop it hurts
my ears. Well if you're yelling, it's gonna hurt her
ears too. It's hurting my ears. You're just going back.

(01:06:18):
God help help God, help us all dude. And finally,
oh my god, the white noise helped and knock them
both out for an hour because we're telling her, sweetheart,
just fall asleep. You said you're tired, Like, just just
close your eyes. Ye can't. Why is this so hard? Dude?
Stop with that ship man. But she ends up falling asleep.

(01:06:39):
We get up. They're both out for an hour, but
the last probably forty five minutes home, Scotty's upset, but rue.
This is where the Survival Kid go to music in
a lone car ride. She ends up talking like I
want the word song, I want like the faun. It
was the phonic song, the phonic song by Gracie's Corner. Ooh,
and she just like goes to the alphabet at at

(01:06:59):
a dance for Apple at Apple. I don't know it's
this phonic song that we just played on repeat because
you get to where you might have a rollodex of songs,
but the only way we want to listen to one
song over and over and over. And it was phonic
song by Gracie's Corner, nice little catchy, kind of hip
hopish song to where you can kind of dance a
little bit where doesn't want you to sing the words

(01:07:20):
help dad, that you don't have to say the words
I got you sweetheart. It's just catchy. I want to
sing it. No, I don't want you to sing it
because she's trying to memorize the song.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
I've been oh, hey, shout out that video that you
sent me of her memorizing the book.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
That was crazy bro about that. So grou can memorize
her books. And kids have a very good memory when
they're around that age, and it's weird like situations that
they can recall, whether it's a year ago or an
old memory, whatever it is, and you're kind of just
surprised by them being able to remember that. Remember that

(01:07:53):
she does better with names, like remembering people's names better
than I do. Yeah, And she can memorize these books, dude,
And some times, you know, it's like go dog, go
old hat, new hat, you know, smaller books like that.
But bro, she has this book Ziggy and the Three Pigs.
You know, the three tailor three pigs with the big
bad Wolf. Well in this in this day and age,

(01:08:15):
and there's now a fourth pig. His name is Ziggy,
who doesn't live in a house at all. He lives
under the stars, and he wants to go swimming. And
he goes by his three little Fred, Ned and Ted,
who have the house made of straw sticks and bricks.
Yeahs them, you want to go for a swim today?
Haven't you heard? The big Bad Wolf is coming to town.
I would be sheltering up if I were you. Ziggy. No,

(01:08:37):
I don't want to stay. I don't want to go inside.
I think I'm gonna go enjoy the water suit yourself. Buddy,
big bead Wolf comes and blows every house away, even
the brick brick even the brick house because old Ned,
Ted or Fred whoever, whoever lives in the brick house.
He's got a new grate that sits on top of
the fireplace. So hey, big bad Wolf, don't even think
about coming down the fireplace because I fix that too,

(01:08:58):
And I'm gonna uffing on PuF and I'm gonna puff
and I'm gonna huf. I'm gonna blow your house down.
House made of bricks. They're all gone. All the pigs
are squealing. Where do we go? They run to the
ocean where Ziggy was having a swim that day he
was building sane castles. Now he built a little raft
out on the water. Ziggy, hey, just swim out to
the shore. Uh, let me do the talking. If he
blew down our houses, what do you think he's gonna

(01:09:19):
do to you' he us for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
He's gonna have you for a midnight snack. Just swim
out here and let me do the talking. Big bed
wolf comes out. He's out of breath. If you don't
come off that raft, I'm gonna uffing pluff, I'm gonna
huff and puff and blow you to pieces and do it.
Ziggy starts talking shit to the big bed wolf. Hey,
last night checked, I heard you. You don't have a

(01:09:39):
strong enough breath to blow out a birthday candle gets
the wolf all worked up, and right when the wolf's
just about to blow that raft to smithereens, Ziggy lifts
the sail, the wolf blows him out to sea. They
have a pool day and they're happy that Ziggy went
swimming that day. But this book has I'm talking like
eight to ten line, multiple lines, multiple lines, and Rue

(01:10:02):
knows the entire book word for word.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
You need to send that video to Chef and let
it play out like for listeners of like viewers.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
We'll play it right now to.

I can't read.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
They don't know how to.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
Read, because I remember you being like, she can't select
music on Spotify, she doesn't know how to read, Chef, Well,
you just watched it going word for word. I'm going
down the line with her, and it's word for word, dude.
She's got a nogging.

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):

she turns and looks up at me with his biggest smile,
and it just it just lights up the room. I'm like, oh, rude,
that is awesome. That is so proud of you. That's uh.
That takes a lot of focus and effor and hard work.
And you're trying to like, you know, encourage them, and yeah,
you pat them on the back for like the attributes
and characteristics that go into it other than be like,
you're so smart. But it is, uh, it's fascinating seeing

(01:11:31):
these little kids and what they're what their memories are like.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
Bro, it's crazy, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
It's hard being biased, not thinking, you know, it's this
kid gonna be his kid's gonna be something special, way
better than her.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
Old man, I'm having that issue with I talked to
you this morning about Scarlett. I think she potentially could
be the cutest baby of all time. Potentially potentially because
my baby is also the cutest baby of all And
see that the problem viewers right now their baby, I'm saying,
so you say that, I'll I'm thinking, Okay, let's have
a little cute off. That's the question I've been asking

(01:12:04):

but is she really that cute?

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
Dude? It's the is she really that cute feeling in
the world. Man, You're just so enthralled and so in

it's the greatest thing in the world and the best
thing is and parents know this too, like you are

(01:12:29):
in the best days, and the best days just get better.
Like I felt like every month was my favorite month,
and they just keep getting better. Now I will say
I'm at a point to where three is the hardest
age that I've dealt with, to where it's my favorite
because I love being in these moments and I love
that we only have so many years. But also three
is a motherfucker right now. At the Compton household, yeah,

(01:12:50):
because Rue she is independent, wants to do everything on
her own. But they are like, bro, it gets better
every month. And when people are like, oh, wait till
they get six months or wait till they get eight months,
Like I'm sure I'm gonna make those comments to you.
Wait till they get twelve months or sixteen months, not
the good ones. But it's like it's gonna get even better,
and you're just gonna be thinking, Yo, scarlet it two months. Rips,

(01:13:12):
like why weren't they saying two months is the best month?
Like it just it weirdly gets fucking better. Dude, It's awesome.
I'm so fired up for you.

it's a celebration because sometimes it's a battle getting that
burp out and you're just like, sweetheart, just burp it's

Unpack the suitcase when you get home. Yeah, unpacked the
suitcase when you get home. Time and time again. I'll listen,
I've been I've been two and oh with the last
two times. But every times when I get home, you
just want to kick their feet up. We're finally home.

the stuff that goes back under the pantry and the refrigerator.
So that way mom knows, hey, you're dialed in just
the way she is. Yes, teamwork makes the dream work.
Because I'm still the cat that doesn't unpack my suitcase.
When I get home, I'll leave mine sitting there at

(01:15:53):
the edge of the bed or down by the side
of the floor, because you never know what I might
dig back into to pull out. I never really unpack
the suitcase when I get back home. I was about
to say, I'm terrible at that and will sit in
there until my next trip, And I'm like, all right,
and then I'll unpack the suitcase and then repack it
for my next trip. Pappa Team six six. However, Dad

time soon to be. My wife's in the first trimester
and she's feeling like absolute duchie. So I hope to
be a first time dad. But I'm also a first
year head coach at the age of twenty five. So
I'm just driving back from the school at eleven thirty
pm camp tomorrow morning. I pull into the driveway, literally

(01:17:39):
sitting in the driveway right now being the hero in
all rounds, you know, husband, coach, teacher, hopefully father, no
God willing, and I'm sitting in my driveway, just got
a bad bunch of crap downe prepared for tomorrow. Knowing
that I told my wife if I do the dishes today,

(01:18:01):
because she loves the clean kitchen and she hasn't been
doing much since her heart and I just know I'm
about to go to battle with these dishes at eleven
thirty pm right now, And so I texted my assistant
coach told him be ready for violence in the morning,
and to be honest, I don't know if that can
wait till then. I just yeah, anyways, appreciate you boys,

operating the coaching staff. You have to get stuff ready

also want to be a family guy at home, all
all of that stuff. I could not I can only
imagine the stress that man feels sitting sitting in the
driveway eleven thirty and I thinking I gotta go Oklahoma,
drill and meet these dishes in the A gap.

always remember to get all the boxes. I've talked about
the box issue before. Then they just start putting stuff
away that you're like, I didn't even know we were

on the couch. Ack, don't do that, fellas, just unpacked.
Wife's not gonna stop. Sweet, Why don't we just suitcase
and it's unload. I gotta look into the pantry I

Speaker 2 (01:25:00):
A team said.

Speaker 1 (01:25:03):
What was his name?

Speaker 3 (01:25:05):
That was an anonymous, anonymous caller.

Speaker 1 (01:25:08):
Anonymous caller. That is a great dad hack and a
fat w for the scoreboard, because you're not only gonna
walk back in your house with a game base on,
you're gonna walk back in the house a hero because
you went and got the correct milk. Now the dad
hack in that moment, because he said something here that
all dads and POPA Team six need to understand. When

(01:25:29):
those moments arise, you're the first to raise your hand
and say I'll go get this because it is. It
buys you a little break. It buys you a little
break getting out of the house. Listen maybe what you
want to listen to. It gives you some alone time,
nice little freedom time. Because you're ultimately doing what needs
to be done. You just want to be the first
in line to say, Hey, I will go pick up

(01:25:49):
the milk. Hey, I will go get this grocery. Oh,
we don't have frozen French fries for dinner. What kind
of side do we want for dinner. I'll run down
to Trader Joe's right now and go get that and
you get in the car and you enjoy, you enjoy
that little freedom that you have for a fleeting moment
because you're gonna have a smile on your face. Maybe
crack a window. But that is a dad hack. That
is a dad w right there, and that needs to

(01:26:10):
be in everybody. Every dad's playbook is if something's not
right at the house, and you can go get it,
go go now, Go get it now, because you're gonna
get yourself a little window of a bit of a break.
You're gonna get yourself a little bit of a break.
We don't need any moms to see this clip. We
don't need any moms to hear this episode in that part,
because moms they might throw it back on us now

(01:26:33):
now that they know this, now that they know that
that's in the little playbook, moms might they might be
first in line doing something something like that. Then you're
stuck at home with the kiddos.

Speaker 3 (01:26:41):
Yes, CVS is just a mile away, and you're gone
for an hour or what was going on.

Speaker 1 (01:26:47):
I'll take sometimes, I will take my time. You kind
of sit in, catch up on a couple things, you know,
work related, of course, of course, but then you pull in,
you sit in the driveway. I love that he's backing,
and you know he's just sitting in the dry way
buying a few extra minuts before he walks back into
the war zone. However, you got the milk in hand.
You're a superhero. But appreciate that call anonymous caller. We

(01:27:10):
can get to Oh yeah, I have to do the
final caller.

Speaker 3 (01:27:12):
Yeah, just click shure and tell you where to click.

Speaker 4 (01:27:15):
Fireworks a non yep, knowing knowing.

Speaker 6 (01:27:27):
I told my wife I do the dishes today because
she loves the cleanician and she hasn't been doing.

Speaker 1 (01:27:33):
Yeah, yeah, Papa Seal, and I just know I'm about
to go to battle with these dishes that right now.

Speaker 6 (01:27:43):
And so I texted my assistant coach, told to be
ready for violence in the morning. Then I just yeah, anyways,
appreciate you boys, past love.

Speaker 1 (01:27:57):
Yeah, buddy, I've always I love. I love like hopefully
get choke hopefully. But you're also like Papacio, thank you
for calling in. And I agree with them here, And
that's like a turning of the tide, Like you know,
are we becoming Karen's by feeling like fireworks shouldn't be

(01:28:20):
just I mean two or three in the morning you're
if you're past midnight and you're hearing fireworks go off,
I think you have you have the right to step
outside and go full dad mode on some kids. I
think you have full on right to say, hey, fellas,
pipe down a little bit. Trust me, I was in
your shoes. I love blowing up slugs and blowing up
fireworks late into the night hours. I'm not a cop.

(01:28:43):
I'm not gonna call the cops, but I need you
to tone them down because I got an eighteen month
old upstairs and these loud noises. I have to check
on her every time because it scares me that she's
gonna get woken up. And if she gets woken up,
you can bet your candy asses then I'll be out
here and the cops will be called. So you may
straightened your shit up, young man. Look at me when
I'm talking to you. Yeah, you cut the shit out.

(01:29:06):
I don't want to come back out of here again,
because I swear to God, I will rain hell if
my eighteen month old gets woken up by your little
by your little fucking fireworks. Because I'm with you, I'm
with them. I was that little degenerate kid that wanted
to stay up as long as possible. My parents would
always make me come inside. But if I did have
the flexibility to be out as late as I possibly

(01:29:29):
could shooting off fireworks, I would do that because you
don't know any better, You don't know how to think
of everybody else, and that there's families going on. But
he when the fireworks were going off at like ten
pm and Scotty's sleeping, thank god she didn't wake up.
But every time a pop goes off, I'm like checking
down on her to see if this year she's gonna
get woken up, because I'm thinking, God, we gotta have
some time limit. And then I'm like, oh, well, you're

(01:29:51):
getting a little too old. You're getting a little too
that's kind of some boomerism coming out of you right now.
So I feel his pain. That's how I would probably
handle it is. If it's going on past midnight, I
think you have you gotta go. You gotta go, uh,
you gotta go pop a seal, you gotta go outside.
You gotta set the expectation. You gotta let them know. Hey,
I'm on your side. I was where you were at.

(01:30:14):
But if you keep this ship up, I don't want
to call it. I want you guys to have a
great time. But if you keep this ship up and
my daughter or my son wakes up, bet your sweet
little ass, I will be right back out here and
the sirens will be going because I will call in
the entire army on you guys for interrupting my daughter
or my son's sleep. You have a dog, too, right, Waffle.

(01:30:35):
Waffle's terrified of fireworks. She goes and she goes in
like nestles in a corner. Some people probably have dogs.
At Bark, I was with some dogs get all worked
up during the fireworks.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
Freaked out from the fireworks, and it was the same
thing they were going off to, like the neighbors. I
was up with my girlfriend and her family's house and
they have four dogs and they were not it wasn't
good and the fireworks going to about midnight and it
was right next to him.

Speaker 1 (01:31:01):
Yeah. Yeah, you're not opened up to all of this.
I feel like until you kind of become a parent,
or you're you're an adult with real responsibilities where maybe
you have to be up the next day and some
of this stuff's going off and you're thinking, you know,
the loud music, but when you're a kid, You're not man.
What do they gotta be such a party pooper? Like

(01:31:23):
why does he why do they have to be like that?
Like we're just having fun out here.

Speaker 3 (01:31:27):
Yeah, I don't know about you, but like, even at
twenty three, there's a few things where I remember as a kid,
I'll be like my old man would get pissed off
about stuff and I'm like, dude, what you know, you
need to relax. And even at twenty three, I'll sit
there and I'll be like, that motherfucker's driving too fast
down through our neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (01:31:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And I'm like, holy.

Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
Shit, I'm turning into my dad and that's terrifying.

Speaker 1 (01:31:46):
But like you'll it'll be more and more, especially once
you once you get the family going. Yeah, now you'll
be a lot more cautious, driving faster down certain roads,
driving down roads, just driving in general, because you just
never know, Like you have your little one, they're like exploring,
they don't know you're trying to teach them, but shit

(01:32:07):
can happen like that. Dude. Appreciate the call in though.
Appreciate the calling, and we will get into our last,
our last segment, which is a quote a lesson or
something that has marinated with us that we would like
to share, or maybe something that we're trying to learn
ourselves to become just better fathers in general. And I
came across something on I came across something on Instagram

(01:32:30):
that I will just that, I will just share let's
see here children. I do have a collection where it
just says children, so that way I can throw in
the stuff that I see. I'm like, oh, I like that.
I want to come back to it. But I was
thinking too, because a lot of times, as parents, you
want to be able to provide your kids with like
great experiences or trips or take them somewhere because you

(01:32:52):
think it's going to be an awesome memory. A lot
of times it is because you're just there and you're
just present. But I know there are a lot of
people that can afford every trip in the world, and
they probably question themselves on if they are being the
parent that they that they should be, that they want
to be, that they arder their kid because their friends
might be doing something cool and they might not get
they might not get my wife's calling me, hang on

(01:33:16):
what Ell was going off of? I kind of lost
my train.

Speaker 3 (01:33:18):
Of thought talking about you have a kid staying on
your phone.

Speaker 1 (01:33:21):
Yeah, yeah, I was. I was scrolling through Instagram and
I saw this, And I know me as a kid
growing up, I didn't always get to go on cool
trips that I thought, you know, my friends were going
on and everything else. So for those parents out there,
there something I saw on Instagram that I thought would
be fun to read. Shout out at Modern Parents' Guide,
good follow on Instagram. You don't need a five thousand

(01:33:42):
dollars Disney trip to build a happy childhood. You need
a garden hose, a popsicle, and a parent who's present.
And here's the science behind why the backyard is enough.
By each five, your child's brain is ninety percent developed.
It's not shaped where you go, but by how safe
and how connected they feel. The brain doesn't store luxury,
emotion and repetition. The moments that happen again and again

(01:34:03):
become the wiring beneath everything. Backyard play offers the perfect
recipe for healthy brain development. It offers predictable rhythm, emotional coregulation,
and sensory rich learning. When your child feels safe in
your presence, their nervous system calms and the brain opens
up to learn, explore, and grow. This happens best in

(01:34:24):
everyday spaces, so sprinklers, mud puddles, bare feet in the grass.
These aren't just fun. They build the sensory maps that
wire attention, movement, and emotional control. A one dollar popsicle
lights up more lights up, more joy than a one
thousand dollars theme park if it comes with the tunement.
Your face is what makes the memory magical. Children don't.

(01:34:47):
Children don't need constant stimulation, They need responsive presence. The
brain develops best when life slows down enough to feel,
and research shows its repetition with emotional safety that wires
long term let regulation. That means the same swing, the
same snack, the same smile. You're not depriving your child
when you stay home more. You're giving them space to rest,

(01:35:09):
to attach, and to trust. The most resilient adults often
had childhoods filled with routine attonement and calm nervous systems,
not expensive plans. One day, they won't say my childhood
was magical because of where we went. They'll say it
was magical because of how I felt at home. You
already have what they need. Your eyes, your voice, your

(01:35:30):
presence and yes, your backyard. Save this for the days
you wonder if it's enough, because it is. The little
things don't just matter, they build the brain. Shout out
at Modern Parents' Guide for more insights on raising emotionally
secure kids. So a little, you know, a little shout
out to a profile that I follow, and I saw

(01:35:52):
that too, and I just think it'd be cool for
I thought it'd be good for just parents to hear,
because at times you battle with I want to take
them here, or this would be really cool for And
sometimes it might not fit the schedule, it might not
fit the budget, it might not fits it might not
fit the madness that goes on in all of our lives.
But all those like reminders on the small things are
the best things. Those daily traditions, are weekly traditions or

(01:36:14):
monthly traditions, just your presence alone, it build It builds
who they are. So that was that was the lesson
that I wanted to share, something that kind of resonated
with me.

Speaker 3 (01:36:25):
It's true, I mean you remember, I mean as a
kid growing up, like hanging out with being with my
dad and brother is what I always remember a lot,
playing sports in the backyard or whether it's going riding
my bike around or walking to the neighborhood pool. You know,
I was fortunate we got to go on trips and
stuff because my dad traveled so much, like for work,
that we were able to He got points and stuff.

(01:36:47):
And they always try to expose me and my brother.
But like the stuff that I always remember is like
that time you spend and like you know, sometimes you
make fun.

Speaker 1 (01:36:56):
You make fun with yeah, what you have.

Speaker 3 (01:36:58):
And I was still I think I was like the
last probably generation or age where we didn't grow up
with screens. So I grew up. I rode my I
got on my bike, and you went over to you know,
my buddy Warners, the neighbors, the Edwards, and we would
go play football in the backyard, to go build a fort.
And it wasn't until like maybe like seventh grade now,
probably fifth grade, when like the iPod and iPhones started

(01:37:20):
coming around, but that was still like that's how we
grew up. We went outside and you know, spent a
lot of time doing that.

Speaker 1 (01:37:27):
So and just making the most of what you have.

Speaker 3 (01:37:29):
Yeah, you don't need a lot to have fun. That's
kind of the best part. And I hope that's you
know it better. Like I guess kids nowadays with like
screens and stuff like you put that in front of someone,
like I worry about like that kills creativity and like
kills like imagination and stuff like.

Speaker 1 (01:37:46):
Yeah, the screen stuff is such like a unique topic
because it's like you just battle, like I feel like
we do a pretty good job. And it's almost like,
you know, when we got done with that car ride
to Missouri, it's like charl ends up making the comment
to me, like once we get to the airbnb that
we were in, it's like we kind of do it
to ourselves because we don't like put You could easily

(01:38:08):
just throw a screen in front of them and just
keep them occupied, but you think about the long term
of you know, in those situations giving them a screen,
then they're dependent. They start to get dependent on the screen.
Then anytime they act up or misbehave or you're having
those moments where you just you'd rather just put a
screen in front of them than leave the pool, and

(01:38:30):
then it's like that's how they start to coregulate or
that's how they start to regulate their emotions by being like, oh,
I need a screen, And then you chalk it up
as like that'll keep their attention on this and not
present in the moment, or you're battling through boring moments,
moments of tantrums, all the things that, like it's hard
for the parent in the moment, but the longevity of

(01:38:51):
it or the long term from it is like, you know,
you get to where I was reading something to where
it's like, if you're putting screens in front of them
and I'll have this drop it up for the episode
next week. But if you put screens in front of
them now and you're doing it to kind of ease
the short term pain, then they get dependent on those screens.
And then when they get to school and they realize

(01:39:11):
there are no screens there, the work that they can
do that might not be on a screen, or maybe
it is on a screen, but their attention is so
locked in on focusing on a screen that they don't
have the attention to stay locked in, you know, in
a classroom or when they're in group settings to where
you know, all the ADHD and stuff kind of starts
to spike up or come about or come to the

(01:39:31):
surface a lot more these days, I feel like, and
then you know you're starting to medicate your kids all
because it's like in the building block developmental brain stages
of just fighting, like putting a screen in front of
them just because it'll take their attention away from the
current moment to put them on a screen, and that'll
just you know, it'll be this bad ripple effect that

(01:39:52):
happens like when they do get in school or when
they're becoming adults, because they just don't have they don't
have that brain development that they should have had when
they were little.

Speaker 3 (01:40:00):
And it's kind of like, I don't know about when
you were growing up, but like I know, my parents
were very adamantly no TV in my room, like I
know some parents had grown up. I had friends who
had they had a TV, and whether it was TV
time or something, my parents are like, no TV because
we know you and your brother, you guys will turn
it on it you'll stay at you'll act a sleep
and then get up in like midnight and watch like

(01:40:21):
a movie or something.

Speaker 1 (01:40:22):
Yeah. But that's how we were. That's yeah, that's how
we were.

Speaker 3 (01:40:26):
Mom, they were adamant. So I grew up and staid,
which I actually like at the time you're sitting there,
maybe when you when you're grown up and you're kind
of pissed off, like Billy gets a TV. Yeah, you know,
and you're I have to. But then looking back at it,
I'm like, oh, man, Like I'm kind of glad because
I learned instead of it in that I read like
that was a normal thing, Like I read all the
time to go to sleep, and it's something that even

(01:40:47):
as I'm getting older, I'm like, I I find myself
on TikTok and stuff, and I'm like, that will.

Speaker 1 (01:40:53):
Keep you up.

Speaker 3 (01:40:54):
Like I've learned that I scrolling the doom scrolling man,
and I I have to put my I put my
phone away, Like for anyone that has issues with that.
What I've started doing is that no TikTok, no Instagram
reels three hours before bed, like I said, a hard note,
and that's like I've started sleeping so much better. Yeah,
It's like I feel you on that where it's like
you get worried about.

Speaker 1 (01:41:15):
You're right though, Like if I even think about mine,
like we I had a TV. We had a TV
in our room and I'll watch TV. I'd fall asleep
to the TV. We've like even though we didn't have screens,
like you know, once computers were a thing and you
could play backyard baseball or SIMS or roller coaster Tycoon.
We'd be fighting over to have like computer time. And

(01:41:36):
I just feel like with that, I was in the
generation of high school where the iPhone came out to
where there was MySpace and Facebook just started. But thinking
of myself now, like there'll be a lot of times
like I can just admit that the phone will consume
me at times, or where my attention is like fleeting.
We don't have a TV in our room now, like
Charles a big believer not having a TV in the
room and everything else. But Cody was was somebody who

(01:41:59):
had like the like ADHD And if I think about
my brain on how my attention works at times, I
feel like I can think back to those things and
be like, yeah, I was like a menace with whether
playing video games or watching TV, playing video games late
at night, wanting to stay up later, sneaking.

Speaker 3 (01:42:16):
It, trying to play video games late.

Speaker 1 (01:42:19):
Oh yeah, and you know you get reprimanded from it
and get disciplined sometimes on weekends not not enough or
not like we probably should have. But if you're just
thinking about the screens and everything else, like toe and
I are big on just I guess just eating and
leaning into the fray and just it's like making it
hard on ourselves. I guess, to protect what we feel

(01:42:41):
like screens would do if we're putting in front of
our kids all the time. Because real get pissed off.
When she ran out of TV coupons last week. You know,
we do that coupon system and she used up her
last thirty minute coupon tour. It was like, the next day,
you don't have anymore. Like, I know you want to
watch TV. Trust me, I would love for you to
watch TV, so I could just take a break. But
your thirty minutes, your coupons ran out. You're just gonna
have to know next week. Hey, you're gonna have to

(01:43:01):
spread them out a little bit better.

Speaker 3 (01:43:03):
Just deal with it. I, by the way, recommended that
to a couple of us all this weekend. They have
a little three year old boy shout out Townsend and
the dad logan great guy who looked at me and
he's like, I don't know, dude, he's a fucking demon.

Speaker 1 (01:43:15):
Dude, I'm telling you, because like she'll get pissed like that,
I kind of watch more. Yes, sweetheart, you have like
fifteen more minutes. Yes, you can watch more, like she's
always checking, like am I able to watch more? Yeah,
you have like fifteen more minutes. But when it's done,
it's done. You have to turn it off. Yeah, and uh,
sometimes it's a battle just because like you're giving them
a little bit of screen time. And again, the screens

(01:43:36):
are just like gravitating. They love to be on those
fucking things. And so charl and I we fight our
asses off not to not to like go to you know,
she doesn't know what an iPad is, but like give
her an iPad or give her a screen when we're
in the car traveling.

Speaker 3 (01:43:51):
Do you think it's inevitable that sooner or later?

Speaker 1 (01:43:54):
Yeah, of course it is, yeah, growing up, but.

Speaker 3 (01:43:57):
Like you're gonna just hold out as long as possible.

Speaker 1 (01:43:59):
You know, I'm not sure until we get there. Like again,
like my only experience right now is I have an
eight month old and a three year old, Like I
don't have, you know, an eight year old, a nine
year old, a ten year old, somebody who's going to school,
and they might have, you know, screens, and I'm sure
that they'll, you know, with the AI movement, just technology
in general, they're gonna they're gonna have to like understand

(01:44:20):
that world. But I don't know. We talk about it,
like we don't want them to have social media even
through high school. Don't want them to have social media.
Just the stuff I'm reading in the Strong Father's Strong
Daughter stuff, the data it's just scary to think about.
I'll start, I'll continue to put like a frameworker something
to go by later, like as she gets older. But

(01:44:42):
I know, like right now we want to do whatever
we cannot to not to have them like depending on
screens or definitely not social media or having their own phone.
That those are like what the conversations we're having now
as she's a three year old. So I don't know
how it'll develop or adapt in the future, but I
know it's like, you know, it's one of those things

(01:45:03):
we want to be very want to be very cautious.

Speaker 3 (01:45:06):
Yeah, I think that's all good. I think you guys
have a good mindset of it as someone who's not
a parent, but I can that's kind of stuff that
I even I'm like, ah, man, like a lot of
that stuff is scary.

Speaker 1 (01:45:16):
Social media is a big one, dude. Depression is getting
more real at the young age starts to base.

Speaker 3 (01:45:22):
Your life off of like that social presence, and it's
like it's just so dangerous, and I'm like, and that
was I mean you said high school is when MySpace
came out. When I was in like middle school, Snapchat
became big, then Instagram and those were ones that and
then like just naturally, I think my age is like

(01:45:44):
some of the first that really like you grew up
and you started I think I had an Instagram account
when I was like in middle school. But it's like, yeah,
you start to like, you know, look around. You do
a lot of looking.

Speaker 1 (01:45:56):
Yeah, you do a lot of comparing.

Speaker 3 (01:45:58):
Comparisons, and it's just.

Speaker 1 (01:46:00):
People can think it's it's it's it's weird, or like
disagree with it. But I think even us as adults,
like even we struggle with it. Yeah, you get called
comparing looking at everybody's highlight reels. You want to, you know,
post all the best things on your social media if
if you're not somebody who posts a lot, like I'm
sure you sit there and you scroll. Like even we
struggle with it as adults, and it's like, you know,

(01:46:20):
these these kids that just don't even have a fully
developed brain, or they don't understand how the world works,
and they're getting how the world works from social media
and everything that's not even real consume their brain. Yeah,
I think it's like a slippery slope. So we've started
having those conversations, but I'm sure we'll continue to formulate
whatever it is. And you both just approach you with

(01:46:42):
teamwork man arm in arm staying strong, and we sure
we sure we don't want to let her watch them
blowy right now? Be sure we don't want to letter
watch something just to the need to play it down
right now.

Speaker 3 (01:46:52):
It needs parent Team six. Yeah, along with POPA Team six.

Speaker 1 (01:46:56):
Yeah, Parent Team six.

Speaker 3 (01:46:57):
You guys are both in it.

Speaker 1 (01:46:58):
Yeah yeah. But appreciate all of you tuning in. Please
make sure to subscribe to our new channel for the
Dads on YouTube or on YouTube, Apple, Spotify Everything. If
you want to support us and rep the merch bwtv
dot com. We will see you next week. Take out
the trash, Love you boys.

Speaker 9 (01:47:17):
I shot this horizontally.

Speaker 2 (01:47:20):
I hope it works, Chef, thank you for patching us
into the episode.

Speaker 9 (01:47:24):
Will Here's my lesson of the week.

Speaker 2 (01:47:27):
A lesson of the week is to have a mentor
that is in far further along in fatherhood than you are.
Will is that for me. And I told him this
morning that he was going to be a lesson of
the week. And I don't think Will and I ever
really planned, or you know, I never really asked Will

(01:47:48):
to be a mentor to me. It just kind of
naturally happened through conversations that we had with each other
about family planning and his kids and his marriage with
Charro and my marriage with Jill, and those conversations just
kind of flowed very naturally and easily. But it has
been a relationship in my life that I have learned

(01:48:10):
so much from. And not that your mentor can't be
like a father in law or your own dad, because
obviously they they're further along and father than you. But
somebody that's a third party, somebody that's like outside of
your family, maybe outside the traditions of your family, that
has their own thing going on with their kids, and

(01:48:31):
just being able to see another perspective here, another way
of doing things.

Speaker 9 (01:48:36):
Seeing Will even.

Speaker 2 (01:48:38):
Interacting with his kids, and seeing Charro interacting with their kids,
it's cool. And so I've just learned a ton from
Will over these past couple months and having these conversations
with him that it really has brought not only the
confidence to start a family, which we've already.

Speaker 9 (01:48:57):
Touched on in the podcast, but it's probably a lot
of confie.

Speaker 2 (01:49:00):
It's in just being a dad. Just in these first
I'm like, what day four of being a dad? So
I hope that that message finds anybody well that is
planning to start a family or has just started a family,
or maybe you got kids in high school, kids in college.
I think that that can apply to anyone and everyone.

(01:49:22):
So just finding a mentor finding a friend or accountabcountabil
a buddy that is further along in the fatherhood process.
And maybe for those PT six Sikahs out there, finding
somebody that is just.

Speaker 9 (01:49:39):
Becoming a dad.

Speaker 2 (01:49:41):
Being that mentor to somebody, I know it meant a
lot to me, will kind of coming alongside and teaching
me and show me the ropes on a lot of
different stuff.

Speaker 9 (01:49:50):
And having convos with me.

Speaker 2 (01:49:51):
So any PT six Sikos out there that want to
recruit their friends into the fatherhood or just be a
mentor a guide to them, maybe actively seek out some
of those young gun future dads.

Speaker 9 (01:50:08):
That was my last thing of the week.

Speaker 2 (01:50:09):
I hope you all enjoyed the rest of the podcast.
I know Will probably killed it, and again, Chef, thank
you for.

Speaker 9 (01:50:14):
Patching this into the episode. I hope everybody has a
good week.

Speaker 2 (01:50:19):
I hope we come it under it now, piece of luck.

Speaker 9 (01:50:22):
See you guys,
