Speaker 2 (02:10):
I would love to say what happened.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I owe an apology to Will Compton.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
And for people listening and watching A big deal did
just go down like a huge deal, a deal where
it's like, I don't know how to react right now,
because we still have to record our show and we
have to bring the juice and I have to bring
the juice and we have to be optimistic. Yes, dude,
because you're you're my mate. Dude, Yeah, you're my teammate

(02:39):
in the squadron.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
I'm in the foxhol with you. You're in the foxhole
with me, quite literally.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
And you said, and to be in the foxhole with somebody, yep,
you got to know that the guy you're in the
foxhole with has your back, has every angle covered, if
that's their role. And I I patch you on the
back and you shit in my hand.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah, maybe you patted me on the back a little
too much, but I haven't. We did the performance reviews
last week, I know, and that went well. We talked
about details, and we talked about structure, and we talked
about my weakest point, the fine details and having it
written down, having it written down, But this was something

(03:26):
that doesn't need to be written down. This is something
that does not need to be written down. It's right
up there with breathing in the production world, I would say,
or drinking enough water.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Papa Team six, Moms Dads, Seeming Team six, CE Team
six need to know as they're listening to this, I'm
very frustrated.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, I need to.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Talk about my feelings. It makes me angry. I think
this is health feel alone when you do behaviors like that.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell them well. First off, I would
love to create a safe space for Will to continue
to get this off his chest, because I feel like
that's the best way to deal with it, to dive
right in. I forgot to hit the record button on
both audio and video.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
We were recording for how long Chef Chef has a mic?
By the way, Chef was the leader of Semen Team
six at the moment he has a mic now being
able to chime in so you don't have to hear
him from far away.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
We were going about forty five minutes.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Great job of keeping it under an hour. We were
just about to keep it under an hour. It was
potentially maybe the first time ever.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
We were on the lesson.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
The episode was almost done. Will was getting into his
lesson and I look over at the audio and the
video and I see no red light like I do
now to where it's rolling.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
We recorded for forty five minutes, and it was so
much fun and it was going so well, and sure
him stands up and he's like grinning at chef, like
pointing down.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
At the little what's that called zoom recording?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Little zoom recorder. I look over a shom. I'm like,
what's up? And he's like, I didn't hit record. So
I'm like, so we didn't get anything that we just
the last forty five minutes, nothing.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Nothing chalked up to the wind. He's like, I'm so sorry, Well, dad,
I just.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
If I can add it was dead silent for maybe
five minutes.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, no one spoke. That's a long time around here too,
because we got a lot of talkers, especially in this
room because.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
It's Friday right now. It's a Friday adviser supposed to
be up watching all this ship that he was down
in the shop. This is the safe space. This is
this is the space that it's like, get to go
have some fun, get to go have some fun with
my boy.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
With your boy. That light you down. I'm the one
that's I get.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
We get we play video games, but don't get to
see all week. You're you're you're a bright light.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
In the shop.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, and I just came in. I ship in your
hand quite.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Literally, and I'm stuck because I'm like, I have to
accept this and get over it as fast as possible
because we still have to record for the dads.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, shut have that fun. Yes, we said, we still
have to tell people to subscribe. We still have to
read reread all the Greek comments we loved in the
comments section about Papa Team six because Papa Team six
is growing and we gotta tell the same story again.
But that's okay because they're they're really good stories and
I would love to hear it again and just say

(06:44):
shout out. This is not getting points from Will you
have recovered very well? You ten minutes ago? Is they
different you right now?

Speaker 4 (06:54):
You were?

Speaker 3 (06:54):
You've recovered? How tints? How do you feel on the
scale of one to ten?

Speaker 1 (07:00):
I don't know, dude, you look like a feeling what
way like we're talking like good mood.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Now, just able to go because you look like a seventh,
like a high seven right now? Good? I believe it.

show up?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
It was like nine to ten.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Guess what Your boy doesn't show up? Good?

Speaker 1 (07:44):

a cage on his roof, saying victory.

He's trying his weasel way out of why he wasn't.

that you're not here at the shop by the time
you said you'd be at the shop.

At the top, we usually obviously tell stories, We talk
about dad losses, we talk about moments. We crack a
cold one too. Yep, what are the odds? What's another segment?
We got a lesson or a quote or a topic
of the day that we come across and we might
be leaning into to help just better ourselves as fathers,

(17:49):
because we go through a lot of tough moments, which
we'll be getting into with some of the dad losses.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah yeah, and also survival kid dad hack we kind
of go through again not experts, I know, we said
that at the top, not experts, but we do. We
try and put some people on game. We try to
help the dads out there.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Full episode. Full episode there. We're gonna keep it under
an hour.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
We're going to keep it under an hour. You want
me to kick off dad loss? Please? All right? So
you're gonna include this in the loss? Yeah, I definitely
can so Dad losses. This week one, I took Scarlet
on a walk with my mom. She's in town. Shout out,
miss Amy, she's helping us out with Scarlet.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
She's in town.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Right after Jill's mom, my mother in law, Lisa. Shout out.
Lisa was in town for a week as well. Miss
Amy loves her nighttime walks, and all she wanted to
do was take her newborn granddaughter on a walk. Jill
was a little hesitant. She didn't know if it was
smart because of the temperature, a little hot outsides, a
little hot outside. Sun was down, and I talked Jill down.

(19:00):
I said, hey, it's okay, it'll be a short walk,
huge dad loss. She had the onesie on, long sleeves
covering her hands, her feet, so by the time that
we got home, she truly felt like a hot potato
and for like a newborn or a dad to a newborn.
I have no idea what's going on when I'm feeling

(19:23):
her temperature that hot and she's screaming like I've never
heard her scream before, and it just shoots like shock
waves of anxiety, worry, guilt. As you're watching her cry.
It feels so painful, and it really does, especially when
you're I knew for a fact that it was my fault,

(19:44):
very similarly to me forgetting to hit the record button,
but unlike me forgetting to hit the record button and
being able to communicate with Will and us work through it,
all she can do is cry. Yeah, And so you're like,
because you're just you're holding them close, you're apologizing.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh yeah, maybe you're testing a little bit. Hey, you're
crying a little too hard here, Like you got to
toughen up at some point.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
All you do is eat, sleep, and shit every day
you get together. What are we doing, Yeah, let's create
some thick skin. Like if I'm me a you know what,
you step out of the road. If I'm being honest
with you, you're kind of being a little litch right now.
It was what you're kind of being soft and lazy.
You don't do nothing throughout the day. You can't go
on a little brisk walk and get a little sweat going.
It was eighty one degrees outside. You know, you know

(20:28):
where Dad does it's from That is just from Texas. Yeah,
well it's one hundred and eighth degrees outside.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
You know, we don't cry over Tennessee heat. Here, I'll
take you down with Texas. I'll give you something to
cry about.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Oh the humidity, it is good for your skin. What
is she? Two weeks?

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Two weeks?

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, two weeks and just cooking and miss Amy's arms.
And we didn't we didn't realize it until you get
home and Jill said, I was beating myself up, like
really bad. I was pissed off at myself and just
kind of like getting quiet, not shutting down full, but
just like start peddling around the house to distract myself.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
You had so much anxiety on the first recording we
did before this episode, when we were recording the other episode,
you had so much anxiety that you wanted to go
to the emergency room.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
I did, you know, I truly in my head, I
didn't go to the hospital. I was like, we gotta
go to the hospital because and this was before I
woke up Jill. She's a nurse are in so she
was able to, you know, take care of the situation
very quickly. It was like, Oh, just take off her
onesie and go into the coldest room in our house
and stand next to the ac man. She'll be fine,

(21:34):
Like she's gonna be great. And in my head, oh, yeah, dude,
I just wanted to do the thermometer, which that's a
whole thing because it's an anal thermometer at their age,
and I'm thinking in my head, Oh, my gosh, Jill's
gonna be pissed off at me. Now we gotta do this.
We gotta put this thing up her bombs. She's gonna
be Scarlet's gonna be pissed. It's gonna be in my
mom's here. Hey mom, I'm a great dad. I just

(21:57):
you know, cooked my newborn child in the sun. But
it all worked out. At the end of the day,
everything was fine, and Jill said, we learned best from
our losses. Love her composure in that moment, Yes, similar
to yours, similar to yours. Don't do that.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Sure, don't do that, Papa, Sure arm come on, my
dad loss is going to be I'm just laughing because
we're just retelling.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
My dad.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Loss is going to be losing a verbal negotiation with
your toddler. I lost a verbal battle with Rue. We
usually eat dinner around six six thirty at night on
this given day. It was a couple of days ago.
It's around six thirty. She did a great job. I
was saying it on last week's episode. Trying to get

(22:52):
more protein going found these chicken nuggets. She loves the
chicken nuggets. Loves the chicken nuggets. Don't blase at some broccoli.
That'll be more of a crack a cold one situation
because I found a couple good little found a nice
little move when trying.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
To get your toddler to eat vegetables.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
She eats her dinner. It's around seven o'clock. That's where
we go upstairs to get Scottie ready for bedtime. Start
to prep Rue, like it's time to calm down. No
we can't watch TV. No you know can't do this,
or like just it's time to start relaxing a little
bit so we can get you upstairs, get you in
your pajamas, and start doing the bedtime routine. Rue wanted

(23:27):
to go to the playground, which is new. Usually it's
not like if we hit the playground.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
We usually hit the playground, like when I get home,
we all go as a family and hit the playground.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Everybody's out, especially on the nice days. It's been the
hottest shit recently, so we have in the playground much.
Or she'll go to the playground with the namy, like
in the morning. She had already been to the playground
that day, but for whatever reason, the playground was on
her mind. She want to go to the playground. It's
seven o'clock at night. It's seven oh six. It's seven
o six and I'm sitting there. It's been a long
day we've been. We were at the bus not all day,

(24:00):
but got home probably around four thirty five o'clock. Yeah,
gang out the kiddos. You're playing on the ground. Scotty's
little nickname right now is scott Zilla because she goes
and terar rises anything going on. She's like army crawling everywhere.
It's adorable. But anything she sees on the ground she
goes like it's not it's not actual playtime. Until every
floor is just pulled off the shelf onto the ground.
Because she just wants to pull everything down. Or she

(24:21):
goes into Rou's room and she sees a tray a
railroad track set up, she just goes right for it
and just basically tears it all apart.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Oh no, Scott, Taylas Scott tell us she's all the way.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Grab her and dragger loving that too, gets upset.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Oh okay, got at. Those are moments where it's like, hey,
you were like this too.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. You're trying to
tell her, but she gets pretty worked up, like Scotty's
gonna get Oh no, she rubs honestly started calling her
Scott's Zilla.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
No.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
So charl will be downstairs say, like this morning, I'll
go upstairs and wake her up, and I'm kind of
laying with her bed. We're kind of having some jokes
and some smiles. I'm waking her up and everything. Then
Mom will come up with Scotty. Then we'll have all
of it in there, and then like she puts Scotty
on the ground and using Scottie just army army crawling
for the railroad tracks, and Rue like leans up out
of like her little bed, her little bed crib or

(25:10):
whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
It's like, oh no, She's like, oh no, I don't
want scott Zilla.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
I don't want scott Zilla. I start laughing. I reach
and grab Scotty's little leg and just like drag her back.
I'm like nope, and then she'll like drag back and
then she'll just be army crawling again. Oh those godzella.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
But got off track there. Rue wanted to go to
the playground. Yeah, you know when you're a parent and
it's just like, dude, it's close to bedtime. Like, no, Ru,
We're not going to the playground. That's gonna take like
thirty minutes or forty minutes by the time we get back,
Like bedtime is coming up, dude. Yeah, And you're just
sitting there as a parent, like a couple of things
are happening. Kid starts to break down. You're in this

(25:47):
like all right, if I fight this war, because that's
what it's gonna be, I'm essentially gonna have to strong
armor vocally or pick her up and take her upstairs,
and it's just going to be a battle the whole time.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Because she's gonna lose all of her composure. Or do
I find this do I find this route?

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Do I find a negotiation tactic that can kind of
get her off, get her off topic, get her off,
killed her. But she's focused on going to the park. Yeah,
then it please.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
I just want to swing. I just want to go
to the park.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Charl walks by with Scotty, and again it's seven o six.
Charl walks by Scotty. She's gonna go upstairs and sit
in the rocker and just easily put the bottle in
her mouth and put her asleep. Yeah, she's got the
relaxing mission. She's like, why you know, why don't you
take it to the park. And I'm just like, why
would you say that out loud? Like text that to me?
So maybe, yeah, I might think about it, but why

(26:41):
would you say that in front of rue, Because that's
just gonna confirm you the park dead park.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
And she's like we can go fast, like we can
go quick. I was like, I'm all right now I'm
starting to come around, like, okay, I just need to
embrace this moment. Yeah, daughter wants to go to the park.
It's only seven oh six, It's only seven and ten
at this point. Yeah, we can go to the park
quick because park's not too far away. I can just
embrace this moment, even though I know I don't want to.

(27:07):
I just want to go up.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
I want to have a nice, clean, fun bedtime. Ye.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
I want to read a couple of books and just
put her to bed. But I'm now getting on board
with going to the park. So I'm like, all right,
how many minutes do you want to the park? And
she's like five minutes. All right, we can go to
the park. I give her a few more. I'm like, hey,
we can do ten minutes at the park. But we're
leaving after ten minutes. Do you understand, Yes, we're gonna
have a good, clean bedtime fast when we get home.

(27:35):
Do you understand, Yeah, all right, go get your shoes on.
We go to the park and honestly, like a blessing
of dis guys, we get to the park and it's
in there like she's like, Dan, there's.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
No kids there. There's nobody at the park. It's just us.
It was awesome.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
We get out, it's quiet. She's like, why don't there
any kids? You hear the bugs in the background. She's like,
why aren't there any kids?

Speaker 3 (27:54):
And I'm like, oh, everybody's eating dinner or getting ready
for bed, like you.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Should be doing right now. But your dad. You gotta
cool dad.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
You got a cool dad, pop a team six that
he wanted to take you to the park and spend
some time with you. Push her on the swing timer
it started on my watch, sweetheart, you got about six
minutes left.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
What else do you want to do?

Speaker 3 (28:12):
We hit the slide. She goes down. By how many
times you want to go down the slide? She's like, uh.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
She goes down once and she said, I want you
to come with me, Dad, Dad. So I'm like, all right,
I'll go down the slide three times, you know, low back,
trying to take care of it. Go down the site
three times, go three, one, two three. We're flying down.
We're having a great time. End up going five times.
Ten minutes turns into fifteen. She doesn't want to leave
the park. Knew that was gonna come. Getting here in
the swing. I'm like, sweetheart, we have to go. No,
I want to bob out, sweet art Rue, we have

(28:38):
to go home. You said ten minutes. We agreed on that.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Dad gave you fifteen because Dad loves you.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Cool dad.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
But now it's time to go. She's starting to you know,
I'm like a sweetheart, We have to go or the
monsters are gonna come.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
And prepar it's out there. Just be careful with how
you use the word monsters, because at that point I
turned it into a game.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
The monsters are gonna come.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
When the sun goes down. You gotta race to the
car for the monsters.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Get us the mask, the Grinch, Tafeedi, the Bear, all
these Monstersfi Tafeedi is the bad guy in Moana.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Oh no, is that the bat lady girl? Ohyeah, it's
like the girl. She's also like the mountain, the volcano.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yes TOFEEDI.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
That's Orange Teafeedi, Yice Stefeedi's the green one where.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
She turns good. But those are all of her mortal enemies.
The mask of Michael Myers mass that sits in the closet.
So the monsters come out. So we run in, and
you know, we get home probably eight o'clock, a little
past eight. Usually I'm hoping to be walking out of
her room from bedtime around eight o'clock, eight fifteen, But
we get home at eight. All right, it's bedtime, dude.

(29:43):
It takes an hour for me to get her to
go to bed. She just got energy she's having fun.
She's like that I want to read these books. I
want to read them by myself. I'm like, all right,
you can't read, but go ahead and look at the pictures.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Is she saying good night to anything?

Speaker 1 (29:55):
No, she's just like saying, I guess what's on the picture.
I don't know what she's saying because I'm trying to
get her. I'm gonna make it easy for Hey, you
read the book, I'm gonna brush your hair while you're reading.
Knock that out instead of doing the last I'm gonna
lay out her pull up and her pajamas. Hey, these
are pajamas. Whenever you're ready to go, time to get
out of your clothes and stop reading the book. And
by the way, fancy Nancy. I am so over fancy Nancy.

(30:17):
It's fancy Nancy is so difficult for myself to read.
At times, I find myself sounding like a fourth grader
trying to read reading fancy Nancy, because it's it's these
fancy cursive letters or these these just me getting mad
about fay is these fancy letters that make it a
little difficult to read.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
And there's a lot of verb. It's it's like fancy
Nancy gives you a lot of fancy words and then
gives you the definition of the fancy word, like this
is another name for doing this, and.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
It's teaching them language and teaching them vocabulary.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
I understand that, but there's too much going on with
fancy Nancy, and fancy Nancy kind of pisses me off.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Does it give you a good cadence?

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Like is the does it feel like the formula is
the same on each page or is it almost like
it's structured so wildly that.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Bro, there's this one book that structured so wildly like
she's opening up her ooh La Lave fancy like Manny
Petty store or something like that. And on each one
there's also instructions of how to do a many petty
I skip those and read a few lines above and below.
But there's so much going on in these books. Some
stories are all right to read, you get through them.

(31:25):
Fancy Nancy didn't get a part in the play where
she wanted to be like a mermaid or something like that.
There's another one where she doesn't go to bed early,
so she's cranky the next day. And that's why it's
important to get your sleep. Come on, there's some good
messaging in Fancy Nancy, but overall, Fancy Nancy has too
much going on. Yes, and it again difficult for me
to read. And I'm not gonna say difficult like I

(31:47):
can't read. I'm saying difficult like all we have is
a night light on or like a lamp on when
I'm reading.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
So it's a little darker in the room. So it's
a little it makes it a little more difficult to read.
Nancy did what the what the fuck she do?

Speaker 2 (31:59):
What does she doing? What's Nancy?

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Though?

Speaker 3 (32:02):
I will say, Eloise at the Plaza?

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Have you ever read that?

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Possibly? Okay, because that that book, and this may be
a hot take, but that book is equally hard to
read because of the breaks in it. I want h oh,
the places you'll go doctor Sue's style, and then they
will have the new hat.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
And I know when to my voice could flow. Yes,
it sounds like Nancy's kind of all over the place. Okay,
she's a tip out there for the for the parents.
Some of you might love Fancy Nancy. I got a
bone to pick.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
With the little girl. Don't blame you. So I'm going
off on a tangent. I know we got to keep
this under an hour.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
The dad loss is losing a verbal negotiation with your
little one after dinner time I ended up, but the park,
the park turned into a win. The loss then was
it took her an hour to get her down for bedtime.
The other loss was the ripple effect of saying monsters
at the park because at the end of bedtime she
wanted to ask about the monsters and can they get
in the house.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Know, they can't use their hands, they.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Don't know how to open doors, so they're not gonna
be an ouse. No, but what about outside?

Speaker 1 (33:05):
They're not you know, highlight, they don't come out at nighttime.
Our monsters nice, Yeah, monsters are nice. Dad has friends
with the monsters. The comptons are in good standing with
the monsters, so they're not gonna mess with us. A
great family, great mons. Monsters know they're nice to us.
A matter of fact, they make a movie about nice monsters.
It's Monsters, Inc. We'll watch it on the next Pizza Friday.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Okay, what's this Pizza Friday?

Speaker 1 (33:29):
So we're listening right now. It's July eighteenth Friday. Okay, family,
and now.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
We're going to Canada tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
On the nineteenth of July, don't get back until the
next Sunday. So, people that are listening to the show
right now, you're boys in the middle of Canada going
on some hikes. I'm going with my uh, I'm going
with my best friend Nick and his family. We got
We're bringing both families. We're gonna have fun. We're going
on a lot of like nice excursions out there in
the Northwest. It's gonna be a lot of fun. That's
what I'll be doing currently. However, today on Pizza Friday,

(33:57):
as we're recording this podcast, we are watching Mynsters Inc.
Tonight because of the monsters ripple effect that this week
has had, because I brought up monsters at the playground.
I was doing my gas station run last night. Charle
was on rude, dirty rude duty, got Scottie down wonderfully
and uh so I went on my little gas station
run and go get me a couple of drinks.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Give me yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah, Charli hopefully is not listening. But I get back
home and Charles like I had to stay. She had
me up there forever because she had to turn her
flashlight on and clear every part of her room because
of monsters. Oh no like hand up, that's on me.
I said monsters are going to come out when the
sun goes down. Now she thinks monsters are everywhere when
it's the nighttime.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Which is a healthy boundaries with outside and and uh
it being dark out. Yeah, ed by a learning lesson
as well. I feel like I've thrown the word monsters
around you. Just know how to use it. It's great,
it's great, ammo in the backpack, it's great, ammo on
the backpack. Just know how to use it because there's
gonna be a ripple effect with mine and having that

(35:01):
extra lore already built out for when those questions start coming.
Maybe on the drive home, you're telling yourself, okay, but
the monster they come at the park, they don't come
at the house. It's a little different exact because you
got the park monsters exactly.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
My mistake as a dad was saying the monsters come
out when the sun goes down.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
That's a blanket stand.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
It's a blank universal suns down. Holy shit, monsters are
surrounding the house, not our house.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
You know. They can't use their hands.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
They don't know not open doors that it locks all
the doors anyway, sweetheart, No, no, they're not mean. Dad
has friends with them. A matter of fact, they just
talked to him. I came up here, I said, hey, don't.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Bother the ass. I was saying all this stuff. Oh no,
also a very selfish note that you bringing up Nick.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
Dude.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
It just it breaks my heart that you're gonna have
to tell them what I did today on forgetting to
hit record. You're gonna have to break that to Nick,
and that's Nick listens. He listens, Nick listens. He said
some very kind things about me. Shout out, he.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Did, you're like his favorite podcaster, left me down and
like outside the top ten.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
But yeah, we'll revisit that list after this episode. I'm
sure he's gonna be like, you can't do that to
my boy. Well, he'll probably. He'll probably scold me for hey,
be easy on him.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
It's a good boy. But you yell at him or something, Papa,
I didn't yell at you.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
No, you didn't, you didn't.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
I was very.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Frustrated, though.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Now I feel like we're getting to where we were
in the first podcast.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
This is exactly the exact point where shit hit the fan.
So for listeners at home, these are all fresh takes.
This is where the fun begins. Yeah, this, how can
I tell you what we missed?

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah, go ahead the top please, because we love engaging
with Papa Team said, dude, we got to the roll
call that's been going on on story and Twitter where
I'm sitting there and I'm getting getting a little feen,
little sky to the bottle and I take a little
selfie with a flex or a little selfie with a smile,
doesn't matter, and you just hit Papa Team six roll
call and people just calm and respond with photos.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
Of them and their kids. I love it, love it too.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
And again if you're listening, like I said in the
my Instagram story tag at for the Dad's pod, So
that way we can share those stories and share the
roll call that you guys are clocking.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
In and doesn't even necessarily have to be one of
us that start the roll call.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Yes, Like if you're a night time and it's like,
oh I got hit the roll call, or you're having
a little tough moment, you're like.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
You know what, I gotta hit a roll call.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
A listener roll call would go crazy, would go crazy. Yeah,
if you want to retweet, if you're looking for some
uh whatso word? Where people are clicking, well, clout, but
they're clicking on your stuff. Engagement, engagement, you want to
engagement farm, I know a quick way to get a

(37:44):
Will Compton retweet little PT six check in.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, I do love them when when everybody's like tagging
us about a dad's story or whatever it is, whether
they're hitting like a roll call, just checking in from
the trenches. Love this message, love this, love the lesson
or the quote or the story that dad hack, whatever
it is.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Yeah, when people write something that's that's that's the fastest
way to my heart.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
It also it sticks out to me.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
I've said this in our earlier podcast this morning of
the posts that Chef put up of the I Want
You Papa Team six, Yeah, Jill was mentioning that some
of her friends are even seeing those posts and they're
just like, I love the way that the podcast does
have this community of like checking in on the listeners.

(38:32):
Like it's not only like hey you win assured or
hey subscribe blah blah blah, but just like the constant like.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
A PT six, how we dude the PT six people
saying ST six for Seed Team six or Semen Team six.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
I love my Semen team six members, love it, love them.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Did I say the bud's acronym? You did in the
second and the second.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
In the in the second episode, but worth revisiting if
you'd like. I'm just glad it's out there.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
So people even start utilizing that when they say bud straining,
it's like, now there's another inside joke of breeding until.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Dad status and then moms again. To go back into
the comments because we at the top of the episode
we kind of glossed over that.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Yeah, But Natalie Brown twenty four to seventy six, this
is for some mom names out there, She said, thirty
year old mom of three checking in from southeast Missouri.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
That's your boy's neck of the woods.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
Come my take on mom pt six. Moms are without
a doubt mom, a Delta force m hashtag MDF. Pregnant
moms are Delta incourse, trying to conceive, Delta intercourse, surrogate mom,
Delta outsource, got pregnant, pregnant but didn't intend to Delta remorse.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
And then second crack at it.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Do I go?

Speaker 3 (39:48):
I hit the last one?

Speaker 1 (39:48):
You can one of those Casey Anthony type mom's Delta
en force.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
That's a comment. Love the humor, Love the humor. That's
a comment. It's a joke and it's a legend. And
then also there one chef.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Can you read the mom that was underneath the I
want you pop a team six And she's like, I'm
cooking up some names.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
Check the DMS.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah for sure. Uh, this is Kennedy Leblonk. She's sent
a very nice long message that I will forward to
you guys.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Female listener squad names Overy Ops and womb Raiders. Oh
love Overy ops, Love over ops.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
And we were talking about it on the first one
were but womb raiders, that's it.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
That's like a mercenary Yeah, we're saying.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
It's like a mercenary group that doesn't necessarily work with
all the military units that were creating you know what
I mean. Womb Raiders feels like it's like an outsourcing.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
Yeah, it's like a special ops from.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
The private sector. What did I I'm blinking again. Did
you say splinter unit? You said splinter splinter unit. It's
a splinter unit.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
I almost think of like caretakers or like nurse types
or nanny types or you know, babysitters, like they you know,
they're coming in their help and where they can.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Yeah, that's kind of where I what I go to.
I wanted to add, if you think about it too,
if you're a woman listening to this podcast, you're probably
a sick. Oh so it kind of fits the whole.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
You're probably a sickle.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
I mean, it fits the whole special.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
If you're a new mom, you might have to be
It might have to be Milk Team six. I love
Milk Team six because milk is you know what I mean,
it's pump.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Pumping at least five ounces, six ounces is what Jill's
getting out now.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
It's crazy. Yeah, new mom's milk teams, Milk Team six.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
I love Raiders, Ovary Ops, all the Delta task Forces.
Oh yeah, we'll let it. We'll let moms chime in. Yeah,
mom's chime in.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
We need to have a mom podcast collaboration.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
I would love that. What what what was the name?

Speaker 4 (41:51):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (41:52):
We just became MILFs? Was the one that my wife.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Did we just become milks?

Speaker 2 (41:58):
I believe? Did we become milse?

Speaker 3 (42:00):
Yeah? Did we just become mills? I think?

Speaker 2 (42:03):
But I know there are a few out there. Dude,
it would be fun to collaborate on a podcast, bring
them on for the dads.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
My my shop talk some shop. My wife has been
throwing out the tea. Apparently that's a big one, the tea.
The tea. She was like, if y'all collabsed with the tea,
that would it would be the greatest thing to ever
happen on the innerweb. Dude, it would just be fun, allegedly.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Have fun talk about like both sides, Like what's the
deal with complaining about having to pump all the time?

Speaker 3 (42:34):
Like that stuff seems does it really hurt?

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Like if I was pumping, It's like I was telling
my wife when she was feeding and pumping and doing
all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
I just, sweetheart, I wish I could pump. Like I'll
have those things on all day long and I'll just
go upstairs playing pupg with the boys. Hey, that just
turning out milk.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Thank god you said that.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
That is my survival k I had a different survivor
really quick, I'll plug the wireless breast pumps. Do y'all
have those? Yes? Bro? Those are crazy. Jill literally has
a bra that she slips these wireless breast pumps in,
and she could be doing anything in the house that
she would want to do. She could go out to

(43:19):
Target and nobody. They would just be like, oh, wow, she's.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Got a wire connector. That's like it's like battery operated that.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
That's that's what Jill had. And then we went to
this wireless thing. Dude, I'm telling you, Jill could be
walking around Target right now shopping and it just looks
like she's heavy chested. You don't even see it, you
don't even hear it. And it's just inside the bra,
just doing the just getting milk, getting milked. And then
when you take it out of the bra, you pour

(43:48):
it upside down to It's as simple as that, and
pours out.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
All the breasts of the second one. Oh yeah, dude, Hey,
I did. I did try it.

Speaker 3 (43:57):
I don't know if I told you that not that bad, right, Well,
it was a very small amount. I'll do an actual sip.
But I did like a little like, uh, you know,
it leaked on the side of the bottle. I did
one of these, and I was just looking at this
drop and I went, it wasn't that bad, not that bad.
It's not that bad. Looks weird. It looks very weird, like, ah,

(44:17):
looks like some spoiled it's a little yellow, Yeah, a
little yellow so spoiled looking milk. Let me try it out.
Why not, I'm drinking worse things. Yeah, it looks like
agnog not the bad, not the bad, not the bad.
But yeah, a little collab. I think that would be
awesome at Barker on YouTube commented eleven days until joining

(44:41):
PT six So damn stoked.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Yes, bro, come onngratulations that. Uh he's gonna be in it.
He's gonna be in it just like you. He will
be He will be a Papa Team six member. This
one comes from ham Bonious Rex see Team six, twin
Boys Inbound, Good good wife struggling. So I'm building all
the furniture, cooking, doing laundry, and the grocery shopping.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Good, good good. I love it. You gotta embrace it, man,
I will say, with the furniture building, and I think
we've talked about this. You don't like furniture, Oh buddy,
I task grab it the shit out. Charles like, hey,
it'd be fun if you built the crib. It would
be fun, wouldn't it. I'm not going to, which shocks me.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Which shocks me.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
I don't think it's a bad thing that you don't
build it, but I get so much like it's almost
cathartic when I build furniture, Like I truly get so
much like God, look what I did. And I'm able
to point at it. And Jill can physically see the
work that I did. And she's like, bra I hear
on the phone, Sherman put together this shelfe is so

(45:49):
hard to put together, and she's proud of me. I'm like, damn,
I need to keep doing that. What makes me ultimately
having to do it?

Speaker 1 (45:57):
Because there'd be a couple furniture pieces and I don't
want to task grab it, but Charles wants to build it.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
She starts building it. I feel bad.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
I go in and build it with her, but I
draw a boundary, sweetheart, just took a little bit of time.
I'm task grabbiting the next thing. Yeah, well, especially if
you have I've painted a couple of rooms.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
Yeah, painted Ruse room, painted our office. I don't think
I painted Scotti's room. I don't think I painted Scottism.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
But yeah, manual labor and Willie.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
See.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Look do I think about like I built a couple
of things, Yeah, for the kiddos.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
Do I remember building them. No, you know what I mean,
It's not like I look back, Oh, Papa built that
for you. Yes, I will say this. When I look
at you, the way that you interact with the world,
you do not seem like somebody that's not handy. Yeah,
like you don't. You don't give off any type of
I've seen you around the grill at the Father's Day

(46:59):
or Father's Day, the dad combine. Yeah, like you know
what you're doing your hand I.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Love that you say that because as my boy, I'm
sure he's listening right now, he's probably chuckling knowing he's
like Will hates anything manual labor related.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Now, who is this? Nick?

Speaker 4 (47:16):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (47:17):
Nick?

Speaker 4 (47:17):
Now?

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Am I competent? Can I read directions and get it
right for the most part?

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (47:22):
Sometimes I might have to backtrack. Fuck, I gotta pull
this all back apart. I did the wrong screw here. Yeah, yeah,
I just don't care to. I just it's just not
my bag, dude. Yeah, that one tell me other things
on my mind, like if like, hey, you know, oh,
let's build this thing. I'd love to just check out,
take a mental break and put my hands on something
and build something. There's no stress, but there might be

(47:44):
messages that could just come across my phone. Hey forgot
the press record on that entire episode.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
No, but really you do have way more traffic going
on under your phone than like the normal human and
it it does give me an opportunity to shut off
my brain. But I feel like I'm able to afford
myself that where maybe less so with yourself. So I get.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
I get that, I get.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
But if there was a badge for like furniture building,
I wouldn't feel right accepting that badge. Even though I've
done a couple of things, I wouldn't feel right accepting
that badge.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
Does that make sense? Yeah, Like the if you came
in next week and you said, Sherman, love you so much,
fully forgive you for not hitting record and slash. I
thought about it. You get your couch badge. You didn't
really earn it, but I'm gonna give it to you.
I would. I wouldn't slap it out of your hand,
but I'd be like, I'm not putting that thing on.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
That's kind of yeah, that's kind of my mindset. Yeah,
I wouldn't give you the couch badge. No, But in
that hypothetical, that's the mindset. I'm one because I know
there's dads out there. It's like it's a badge of honor. Yeah,
you're building your kids like toy sets and doing all
these things. Like for Christmas, I had to put together
rush Chevy and then the little red uh, the little
red car with a little yellow roof love put those

(49:04):
things together, but the car. Yeah, it's not like I
sit there and I'm like, I'm ready to do it.
I'm ready to dive into this badge of honor. I'm like, shit,
Christmases tomorrow, I do gotta build this thing. Yeah, any
other comments, Oh, it's oh Benjamin, Benjamin, my little girl
these days from taking her first steps and being on

(49:24):
the move. I look forward to watching these episodes. It's
such a more realistic way of showing how dead life
really is. So both of your family stay healthy and happy. Dude,
shout out the first steps, Mando. I'm like sitting there
in front of her, and Mom's got her little arms
and it's like walk to dead dad. Like you've seen
her take a couple of steps, but now she's like
she's about to walk to dead end. I just had

(49:44):
the camera sitting in front of her.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
Mom lets her little arms go and she's just like
water on over.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
It it warms your heart. Man, it's the best I
watched that video so often. It's the best man video.
As much as you fucking can.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
I am already getting my heart broken with seeing things
on TikTok of like newborn to three months, Like look
at the difference and it's like a little five second
video of them as a newborn, and then it jumps
to them as three months and I physically in my
heart felt like a ooh when I saw that three
month old. I said, that baby looks way too old.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
It's huge.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
What's going on?

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Choro?

Speaker 1 (50:24):
Every month we'll do a monthly photo with like a
little sign next to him with the letters like six
months old and get them to smile. And she did
it with the rude doing it with Scottie the little
growth chart. Yeah, just capture as much as you can.
Capture as much as you can.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
I need to do a better job and to that point,
and I'll read out this comment too, because we all
did a good job of replying to him. This came
on Twitter, uh, this came on our for the Dad's
Check in our Papa Team six check in posts, tim
A said seemed to seed team six year. We got

(51:03):
our induction date today and man, I'm shitting myself. I
was in the mindset that it was already real and
had already hit me. But I was fucking wrong, full
panic mode, engaged and damn near had an anxiety attack,
but held it together for the WiFi. I remember that
one will will you replied to it with the great comments,

(51:23):
and hey, don't be scared and tell WiFi you know
how you're feeling. You're not alone in this. I chimed in, said,
you're crushing it. The fact that you have anxiety shows
that you care. You're gonna crush it for the Dad
Chef commented on it. But I want to challenge myself
and we talked about this in my midyear review. I

(51:44):
was thinking about this last night when I was going
to bed. I was like, God, I got it. I
got a reply to more comments, cause there were getting
so many comments that it's not like it waters it
down to where I don't care, but there's just so
many comments say like Okay, I'll get to these in
a little bit or yes, and then you kind of
forget because it's it's it can be overwhelming for sure, Yes,

(52:06):
And then I think to myself, they spent so much
of their time to put that out there. The least
I can do is heart that and give some sort
of reply to like show PT six like we're reading
these things because I'm reading damn near almost all of them.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Yeah, that I'm getting tagged in.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
That's the most fun part about this is like the
goal is like building the community of Dad's Papa Team, say,
even though the females that are involved in comment and
everything else, but it's it's it's cool, bro, because you're right.
It's like you want to we want to be doing
these shows and pumping out content to where it's like,
you know, we make dad Fatherhood seem fun, talk about

(52:47):
low moments and just connecting with the community because they're
like watching something there's Papa Team six, right, you're part
of it. You're taking a moment to like comment and
do your thing because you feel like we're all part
of this thing.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
Because we are.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
And when old Buddy sent that anxiety attack, that kind
of panic attack thing, it's like something that because when
I said, hey, share with your wife, like something I
would learn or charl and I would both learn like
when we do therapy together, is like, you know, you
want to keep on this energy as the man of
coming off strong and coming off composed for them, right,

(53:23):
And then you learn like when we're in these therapy
sessions and talking about it, like hey, I'm nervous as
shit too, like I'm terrified because I think I'm going
to be a bad dad, or you feel like you
know she's going through so much so you want to
remain strong. And that also creates a sense of like alone,
like this lonely feeling for yourself too, because it builds

(53:44):
up the stress.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
And build up in you at some point.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
And just communicating that stress with your partner, because again,
it's not about strength, it's about just connection. It's about
sometimes that is a strength is just hey, we're both
fucking terrified and we're both going through this, and I
feel like I want to help carry that for you.
But your partner also wants to know that you are terrified.
That probably helps them feel a little more comfortable as well,
Like you don't as a man, you don't always have
to come up strong, especially with your partner, so you

(54:09):
tell her, hey, bro, the gentleman that sent that message
and am I reply to Tim, It's like, dude, share
that with your wife, Like I'm telling you, it's she
wants to know what you're going through as well. It's
not about just like they're probably feeling like, man, I'm
stressing out so much, I'm doing all these things. Like
he seems to have it all together, Like should I
continue sharing all this stuff with him? Does he even

(54:29):
want to hear about it? It's like, bro, you tell
her that you're going through the same shit or you're
going through your own walk with it too, Like that's
where you can both connect over all that stuff. Then
you go into the fire together because I promise you
no parent feels like they're just ready for it all
when it comes. Everybody's excited and everybody's also terrified because
it's like, am I going to be a good dad?
Am I going to be a good mom? Am I

(54:51):
going to come up short? I didn't have the best upbringing.
Am I going to be a replication of what I
grew up in? Am I going to be carry on
the legacy that my parents were to me? Like there's
all these different things that everybody has. Yeah, that's all justified,
But it's just like you're going into the fire and
you want to do it. You want to do it
with each other.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
And dude, the.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
Worries that I had. I said this to my friend
because he was asking me. He's a Seed Team six
member looking to become a dad, and he was picking
my brain of just like surem, how's it going. And
how I broke it down to him is I was like,
the worries that I talked about with you on the show,
of like getting enough sleep, the diaper stuff, all that stuff,

(55:29):
I like laugh about that now because I'm like, it's
like we got that figured out and we're onto the
next thing. Like I got bigger fish to fry and
to worry about. And I told him it was like,
I'm from Aledo, Texas, a huge football town in Texas.
I remember trying out for the football team my freshman
year and all the upper classmen being like.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Hey, you get fucking ready.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
It's just different.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
It's fucking different on.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
It's grown men out.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
He's grown men. Shit, I don't think you're built for
this shit.

Speaker 3 (56:00):
And then you look up two months later and you're
like halfway through the season and you're a football player
on the team.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
Yeah, doing your thing.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
Like it, and you see the next crop going through
the same anxieties and fears. Yes, it's like it's like, yes,
worry about it, yes, be nervous about it. But I
can't wait for you to see me do a diaper change.
And I mean you're gonna be like, Yo, let's fucking go.
I see you kid, Yes, dude, Yeah, I never thought
i'd be good at that, And now that's just second nature.

(56:28):
That's I'll be three diapers and one change because there's
shit on that one, but then she peed on the
clean ones. So now that one's in there, and now
we got a third one and the Yeah, now we're good.
Just know that it's all normal and natural.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
And catching yourself when the anxiety or the stress is
building to where you can give yourself the grace of hey,
this is normal.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Think about the millions, billions of kids and parents that
were before us.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
Look how many humans are on planet Earth, dude, And
just being able to identify exactly like you said, identified
the anxiety and if you're able to communicate that neurologically,
us dudes, us papas are we are naturally not good
communicators on that front, right, you default to that strength.
I gotta come off this way, and that is just

(57:15):
that is in your brain. That is literally built into
your brain to do that. So when you're sharing that
stuff with your partner, bro, They're going that's like crack
cocaine to them. They will be so excited that you
broke down how you're feeling in that moment, Like when
I told Jill how pissed I was about that dad
loss of scarlet overheating. Yeah, her being like, you're good,

(57:39):
she's fine, look at her, She's asleep right now, and
like it's not gonna happen again. You're gonna be cognizant
of the heat. Well, let's move on. Tomorrow's a new day.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
So can we talk about the other dad loss that
you had et six st six. This ad reader is
for you. This is we are sponsored by Roe. If
you like the speed of the process to getting a boner,
look no further. Rose sparks are a two to one
prescription treatment for guys who need a secret weapon and
gets softness. Roast sparks can give guys bigger, thicker, and
longer erections because they get fuller faster after roast sparks dissolve,

(58:13):
they working fifteen minutes on average, and if prescribed, new
sexual help patients get fifteen dollars off their first order
of sparks on a recurring plan. Connect with the provider
at road dot co slash dads to find out if
prescription roast sparks are right for you. That's ro dot
co slash dads for fifteen dollars off your first order.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
Back to this episode.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
Compounded drugs are permitted to be prescribed under federal law,
but are not FDA approved and do not undergo FDA
safety effectiveness or manufacturing review. For full safety information, go
to road dot co slash Safety info. That I got
to kind of be a fly on the wall.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
For oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, so this was technically
my motherfucked moment.

Speaker 4 (58:56):
We had.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
I titled it the Battle for the Belt Jill one
spoiler alert.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
She won the belt.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
Um, let me read a little quote here and you
guys can guess who this quote is from listeners at home.
This might seem familiar. Show your kids what resilience looks like.
Maybe you're just exhausted and don't have any patience, but
it is something to keep in mind that I have
to constantly remind myself is that our kids are always watching.

(59:26):
They're watching how we handle things and how we deal
with adversity around the house, and watching how we handle
our communication with everyone around us. Those the Papa Team
six lesson last week. That was episode six, Episode six.
That comes from William Compton.

Speaker 4 (59:42):
The third.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
Is I did not show good resilience.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
Oh happens, bro Oh don it happens more often than not.
I'll break it down for you for dads out there,
if you are breastfeeding, or if mom is breastfeeding, Charo
is a breastfeeder, so you are well aware of this.
They have to either feed or pump every threeish hours

(01:00:11):
pretty constantly, pretty constantly. So why we wish we could pump.
That's why we wish we could pump, because if they
don't pump, there is a bacterial build up that can
then make mom very sick, not baby, not just pretty.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Like a clog situation where that's painful, yes, dude, but
essentially Mom's got somebody on those milkers twenty four to seven,
whether it's a baby or it's a pump.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
Yeah, And it is something to where Jill. The most
sleep Jill has gotten in a set contained amount of
hours is probably two and a half. That's probably the
most sleep that she's gotten because she is just wanting
to be superstar mom of If the doctor, the pediatrician

(01:00:59):
shout out, uh wait, can I say my doctor's name
if you want to?

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
Or I don't know, there's nothing legally you can't.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
Yeah, she can't talk about us, but I could talk
about her. Yes, sure, okay, shout out doctor Steigelefest, great name.
She says, Jill, you gotta pump every three hours. Well,
Jill's gonna be like, by god, I'm pumping every three hours.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
Right, Because again, it's like any type of build up
that happens if they miss like, moms definitely want to
stay on that stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
Absolutely. Milk Team six, Milk Team six. I bet that
there are a lot of moms that don't breastfeed and
so they are getting some better sleep because they're you know,
feeding on formula. Or maybe there's some moms that like
they'll skip a pump because you can at the end
of the day, you can skip a pump or feed
and go formula.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
But Jill is not that way.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
She's like, I want to feed whenever I can. I
want to pump whenever I can, and I'm operating as
I'm not sleeping the best either, but nowhere near two
and a half hours of sleep being my best night's sleep. Yeah.
And so when I'm showing signs of I'm kind of tired,

(01:02:10):
I need a little bit of an escape. I need
to play video games with the boys. Oh honey, the
boxes can wait till tomorrow. Oh honey, this can wait.
I'll make the bed for my mom coming in town later. Honey.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
I wait, I need a nap going.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
I need a nap so bad if you just let
me nap for thirty minutes, I just need a nap
going into this night shift, and I'm gonna be solid,
I'm gonna be set. And so there's all this build
up of me kind of basically the whole day just
showing signs of, hey, Jill, I'm exhausted, and Jill's just

(01:02:45):
eating it and in the in her head she's like,
I've mostly I've gotten this two hours in this son
of a bitch.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
So it all comes out when I.

Speaker 3 (01:02:54):
And when those those.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
Stressors are high too, It's it's like that the scoreboard
comes into play in your mind, yes, whether you wanted
to or not, because again you're operating out of your
like operating on E you both are yes.

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
And she did a great job of being like, I
want you to sleep, I want you to get your
But I look at you and selfishly I'm like, damn,
he got six hours. That's crazy. I wish I could
get six hours. Yeah, And so there's that comparison. So
she sees her, you know, dumb stupid husband, go lug

(01:03:29):
over to the xbox and go, you know, turn on
the xbox. And I got little Scarlet over here next
to me. And Scarlet's kind of and she's like, are
you gonna pick her up? And no, honey, she does that.
It's fine, Like, well, sherman, you have the headset on,
like can you hear her crying? Yeah, honey, I leave
the headset like partially off my ear. I know when

(01:03:51):
Scarlet's crying. Well, are you talking to people on there
who you play? Yeah, I'm playing with Will and Jared
and but also a note, they said that I shouldn't
be playing.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
They said I shouldn't be playing.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
I don't think we said it when you were on
the game, but when I was hearing everything that had
happened and went down, I know in my brain, I
was like, my questions were, how is he on the game?
And then my next thought or I guess three, how is.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
He on the game?

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):
Why is he on the game hearing this story? Or
she might not know that he's on the game at
the moment, which we'll get into. So I'm just about
to get onto the game and Jill pops her top
on me, just loses it on me. Say why what

(01:04:41):
do we get to say? Why?

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
Yeah, of just like you're acting like you're tired, you're
da da da you get to have this nighttime shift
that yes it's hard, but essentially you just sit next
to her and play video games with your buddies, Like
I have no community with like moms. Right, you know,
I'm alone in this. I feel like my husband's hanging

(01:05:05):
me out to dry during the day because he's tired
because he got to play video games all night? Why
watching our daughter? Oh oh, I'm getting there. I'm getting there.
So to not go into full details of what Jill said.
To protect my wife, some things were said that I
was like, oh man, I mean I truly was like

(01:05:28):
chin on the floor. I got ripped like five new
ones and I'm sitting there and I'm starting to get pissed,
not at her but at myself. And as she's going
I'm telling her everything's fine. She needs to let me
do me. We have this system in place, everything's good.
And as that's going on, we have a fucking raccoon

(01:05:51):
now confirmed in our ceiling, just moving around and Wriggly
are sweet, Dot is just letting.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
The raccoon have it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
So you have Jill losing on me, Scarlet, and then Wriggly. Well,
there's one thing of those three that I can control,
and it's Wriggly. I've been telling him no all night.
There's one thing that you can go full pop a
team six. I can go full pop a team six
on And so I go up to Wrigley, I give
him a no, and I on his butt, which we

(01:06:26):
do that like with our dogs. I'm sorry for anybody
at home that doesn't like that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
Lost yourself in the moment you had a reaction to
the dog had a reaction to the same way Yep
gave him because that was like his eighth no that night.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
Yeah, and so I wanted to enforce it. I hit it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
She goes, you are in no mood to be watching
our daughter and goes and picks her up off the thing.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
I'm like, bro, that was You're about to do nighttime
oh yeah, and lose it all this is happening.

Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
Yes, he hit the dog.

Speaker 1 (01:06:57):
Hit because he ain't shutting up, he's making it worse.
Oh yeah, you hit the dog. You're about to do
nighttime shift. And she's like, you're a no.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
You're in no mood to be watching our daughter. I
can see it in your shoulders. You're so tense. I
was the monsters in the park that Rue was afraid of.
And I'm sitting there and I'm like, I became that guy.
Like my wife is like scared for me to watch
my daughter, Like am I a bad dad? Like?

Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
Am I a monster?

Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
Like what? Oh my gosh. I would never hurt Scarlet.
I would never hurt Jill. And I'm not reacting verbally
to Jill. I'm eating everything she's telling me because last
time she lost it on me, like what six weeks ago, Yeah,
seventy five percent of what she's saying is right, yeah,
which it was. All of it's built up on you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
Oh what happens?

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
And so she's holding our daughter and I feel like
I'm losing custody of my daughter like it was a
I'm just sitting there like, dude, I fucked up, damn it.
And she grabs this ugle me in the blanket. She goes,
we're going to the room of you know, blah blah blah,
and takes Scarlett into the room and I just sit
there on the couch like this, and I'm just sitting there.

(01:08:09):
I'm like, fuck because I know I can't go in.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
There and talk to her.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
It's both emotions are way too high. Motions are way
too high. But also right move on that part. Yeah,
I'm like I have lost in this situation. Not a
cool down, not that it's a competition, but I've lost fully,
So what can I do?

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
But in your mind at the time, you're probably arguing
your points in your head.

Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
Really to be completely honest, and this isn't the score
points with her. At this point, I'm just really mad
at myself, to be honest, like I really wasn't breaking
it down of like, oh, like the only thing that
I was like that's not true is like you're being
a bad father blah blah blah. And I'm like, I
know I'm a good dad. I might I might mess

(01:08:57):
up dad, but I'm a good dad, so that won't
hurt a little bit. But that's okay, I'll eat it.
That's like the only thing that she really said contextually
that made me upset, right, But I'm sitting there so
fucking mad at myself, and I'm like, I honestly just
want to talk to somebody. It's late at night. I

(01:09:18):
know that the guys are on the Xbox, so I'm
just gonna get on the Xbox. I know that my
mentor Willie C is on there. Jay Rod's probably on there.
He's great comic relief.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
Because we had planned the we had planned to play,
we had planned Suram was late to getting on the game.

Speaker 3 (01:09:33):
We're kind of wondering what's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
On TIVE like late late. Sharan was supposed to be
on it like nine thirty. He remember when you FaceTime
me and I was doing my back routine. It's like, no,
that was what he said.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Oh the Kroger.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
I forgot about Kroger.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
Again, I don't know how much you were wanting to share, so,
as your boy in the foxhole, no, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:09:54):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:09:55):
I've missed a huge part of this story. Guys Yogurt
love Kroger. But the guy that packed our they do
a free pickup where they'll get all the groceries and
you go park in the space they bring the groceries
out to you. One of our grocery items was six
chicken breasts and he put it in with like all

(01:10:16):
of our veggies and fruits and like stuff that isn't
fully covered and the chicken liquid is just seeping out
of the it's covered in chicken stuff. So it's like, hey,
if you want salmonilla, eat anything in this bag. Essentially,
I'm like, well, that's you know, ninety dollars worth of groceries.

(01:10:36):
I'm going back to Kroger. And Jill was like, honey,
I your shift's about to start. I would really love you.
And I'm like, honey, if I don't do this right now,
it's not gonna happen, and we're gonna be ninety dollars
in a hole and we're not pinching pennies, but we're
trying to be smart with money. So I went up
to Kroger. I told Jill was going to take like
thirty minutes. It ended up taking two and a half hours,

(01:10:57):
or close to I run into Ja worried anybody that
follows me on Twitter, Saul, I ran into Jared in
the parking lot, and I thought, oh, for the Dad's
comes out tomorrow. Could be a fun little promo if
I acted like I'm Papa Razzi.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
And hey Jared Jared.

Speaker 3 (01:11:12):
Jill sees that, Oh, so Sherman's at Kroger working hard
to get at home. Jill's at home.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
Oh yeah, in terms like I'm going back to Kroger
and I'm getting these groceries because the chicken juice has
covered everything else. Gonna take me thirty minutes. Oh yeah,
Shrm tells me, hey, I can be on the game
around nine fifteen, nine thirty. He calls me, trying to
talk me in the plane. I was like, buddy, okay.
So Jill's thinking he's gonna go to the store for

(01:11:38):
thirty minutes. It's a two and a half hour trip.
So it's a two and a half hour trip. You know,
she's doing what in the hell is going on? She
probably gets on a social media sees that he's doing
a fun little content bit with Jared in the parking lot, having.

Speaker 3 (01:11:51):
Fun as I'm waiting for Kroger to solve this issue
and ended up being this whole thing where they we
can't reimburse, we can exchange, but how we I don't
know how we're gonna either way.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Two and a half hours. Oh yeah, Suam comes home
the hornet's nest. That's probably where all these conversations are
taking place.

Speaker 3 (01:12:09):
And what's the first thing I do when I walk
in after I put it said groceries in the fridge,
I put on my headset. I get Scarlet in her
little bed because I'm husband out of the year. You
started to try to play the game before the motherfucked moment. Yes,
oh yeah, that's what kicked it all off. That's what

(01:12:32):
kicked it all off is I came home thinking I
killed it at Kroger. Now it's my turn to watch here, honey.
Let me take Scarlett, you go to bed, love you,
and put her in her little snuggle me. And that
I'm sitting there with my headset on and she's in
her snuggle me going and not crying crying, but like
kind of moving, and Jil's like, are you gonna do
something about that?

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
And I probably very quickly was.

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
Like, oh, yeah, she's fine, she's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
She does that and go back to my gut.

Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
And she's like, when I have Scarlet, I'm holding Scarlet
and I'm making sure Scarlet's good, and I'm blah blah blah,
and Sherman's doing this like havesy kind of you're.

Speaker 1 (01:13:09):
Playing with Jared in the parking lot at Kroger. You
come home and you just get on the headset and
she's whining, you're not doing nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
Oh yeah, And Sherman's just he's having the time of
his life.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
Fatherhood's so easy.

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
It's just so much fun. And so she popped I
mean she popped off on me, which totally.

Speaker 1 (01:13:25):
Sherman was on the game for like a total of
five minutes. Well that was later, so you were you
were logging on to play and walking on to play.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
That happens.

Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
You don't need to be, you know, Pop Wrigley, you
don't need to be watching our daughter. I'm going to
the room. So I think that there, that she's in
there for the rest of the night. You're like, all right,
she's on night she's on night duty. Now she took
it out of my hands because she took out my
hands slash, I know, because I tried to get Scarlett
back like two or three times verbally, not like trying
to get her back. But yeah, honey, I'm I'm sorry.

(01:13:59):
You know what, You're right, I'm sorry. Just let me
watch No, you're not gonna watch her.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
She goes up to the room. Oh yeah, so you're
sitting down there.

Speaker 3 (01:14:07):
I'm like, I want to get this situation off my
chest because I feel like the biggest idiot ever. I'm
pissed at myself. I know my boy Willy sees on there,
Taylor's on there, Jared's on there. So I log in
and I just logs in trauma dumb on them for
like five minutes. Yeah, yeah, just trauma dumb. Mid trauma dumb.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
Jill walks in and I'm hearing this whole story, and
I'm just thinking, how are you on the game right now?
Why are you on the game right now? I wonder
if Jill even knows he's playing the game right now.

Speaker 3 (01:14:38):
Cause I'm just like, she's bunkered into her room. Yeah,
like she's gonna be in there for the rest of
the night. I might crawl in here in like right
thirty minutes, forty five minutes and she comes outside and
sees me on the game, and goes, oh, great, you're
on the game again, and I'm like, fuck, So I
instantly turn off the Xbox instantly. I mean, yeah, I'm

(01:14:58):
sure I was probably talking to you, you guys, and
then you probably just saw we saw.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
Yeah, we saw your name leave the leave the discord.
We saw the little plug logo next to your guy's name.
We're like, I think it's bad.

Speaker 3 (01:15:10):
Yeah, I think it went south for sure. Sure them
over there in the house, surep needs reinforcements. So then
I get a second lashing from Jill. Understandably, gotta keep
this under an hour, by the way, gotta keep this
under an hour. So in my brain I then say
to myself, you need to be a good dad, and

(01:15:30):
you need to start knocking out the things that you
said you would help knock out for Jill. So I
instantly go to the washer and dryer, I change out
that load. I go outside into our front yard. I
put my gloves, my work gloves on. Oh she wants
the she wants the weeds going the weeds about to Oh,
oh she wants to fuck Everybody on the on the
Twitter say, oh, shureman, what's that wha tree in your

(01:15:50):
front yard?

Speaker 4 (01:15:51):
Fuck?

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
That weed tree.

Speaker 3 (01:15:52):
I got my hands all and just I'm just go on.
At this point, it's probably like eleven thirty, close to twelve,
and I'm just taking down all these weeds out there,
diabolically killing the weeds covered, kicking out all your anger
and all.

Speaker 2 (01:16:08):
Your stress on these chores around the house. Oh yeah, dude.

Speaker 3 (01:16:10):
And because of the night shift, I like had a
little nitro like coffee type thing that like earlier in
the night to help me, but on an empty stomach.
So I'm out there, I'm starting to get lightheaded. I'm like,
all right, I need some full rainbow outside, full fucking
rambo on these weeds. And then in my head, when
I was going inside to get a water, I hear doom, doom,

(01:16:32):
doom up in the roof, and I literally shot up
and I looked up at that ceiling. I said, tonight's
the night. Whatever that animal is, it's gonna fucking die.
I was raised at home where I hunted. I've killed armadillo,
I've killed rabbit bare handed, but with an object, I'm

(01:16:53):
gonna kill whatsever in my roof. Yeah, we have a
huge fucking ladder at the shop. I'm gonna go get
that ladder. Am I crazy, am my psycho that I'm
turning to kill something in this moment of anger. No, Sherman,
you're not.

Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
It's okay.

Speaker 3 (01:17:07):
The thing needs to die. It's ruining your life. It's
all you hear at night. I get to the shop
at like one thirty, I unlock you, I get the ladder.
I go back to my hond on thirty in the morning,
Sherman is here at the shop getting the ladder to
go home, getting the ladder to go home. Should I
use a hammer? Should I use a knife? You know
what it actually be best. Let's get the fireplace poker.
That's sharp, it's got some length to it. I'm gonna

(01:17:29):
have to rip these wood slats off the side of
my little enclosure to go in here and kill whatever
this thing is. And I get halfway up the ladder
to where I'm about like roof height, and I said
to myself, these are the stories that you tell in
the er, like these are the stories that you tell
the doctor and your family sitting around you're laughing because

(01:17:50):
you have a broken tibia or phibia, because you fell
off the roof at one thirty two o'clock in the
morning at one thirty two o'clock in the morning. And
just as that's happen, I see the porch light turn on.
I'm like, oh, here we fucking go. Jill comes out. Sure,
I'm just on the roof climbing. Then the porch light
comes on. Jill's like, what the hell are you doing?

(01:18:12):
What are you I'm gonna go up there and honey,
I'm sick and tired of whatever's up there. The trap
that we have on the roof is not working. It's
not catching whatever this fucking thing is. I'm gonna go
fucking kill it. This is the worst thing you could
possibly be doing right now.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
What why?

Speaker 3 (01:18:28):
What is this gonna help?

Speaker 1 (01:18:30):
I had to hit earlier because you were laughing at me.
Do me a favorite, Get back inside. I have a
bloodluss that I can only be fed on varmit blood.
I'm taking care of the problem, sweetheart.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
You said I'm a bad dad. What makes me a
good dad? Take care of our problems? What's our problem?
This fucking thing in our roof? And dude, I was like,
in such a thought cycle of just kill get your
head back inside oats side.

Speaker 1 (01:19:00):
Sure, just a neighbor like looking at the window, the
porch slide on in the bag just like one day
I do.

Speaker 3 (01:19:05):
I have a blue collar neighbor that works like kind
of laid out in around like twelve when I was
ripping the weeds out, his pickup truck slowly was coming
into his driveway and he stopped in my yard one
doing a Is that that?

Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:19:19):
It is the neighbors, so like, no one's breaking into
his house, but what the fuck is he? He does
have a kid.

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
I feel that he's just outside outside going crazy. Dude, dude,
didn't kill the bat down.

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
You got off the roof.

Speaker 2 (01:19:36):
I got off the roof.

Speaker 3 (01:19:37):
As we mentioned before, I sent you a picture of
the baby raccoon that was in our trap. This morning
found out the great news from the wildlife team that
they had to release said baby raccoon back into our
roof because really we wanted to catch the mama raccoon.
So that problem's just still on going.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
So they're still there. Raccoons have made a home in
your roof into that they couldn't let him out in
the wild.

Speaker 3 (01:19:58):
No, had to be back in the room.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
It was too young because the.

Speaker 1 (01:20:02):
Mom of raccoon is in the roof and it was
just a baby raccoon that they had called and they're like, oh,
we can't do this. We need to get the mom out,
so we gotta get the baby back with mama. Yeah,
so they're both still in there.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
Oh yes, yeah. What's it called whenever you're living in
an apartment and you're not paying, but you're like, you're
living there illegally.

Speaker 3 (01:20:23):
Squatting?

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Squatting, yeah, squad.

Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
Yeah this. The raccoons are squatting at Shirrem's house right now.
I just sent a picture to Chef of the baby raccoon.
It's the cutest thing you'll ever see. I walk out
this morning anything, I'm like, what the fuck is that?
I didn't see it. I'm on the phone with the
animal people, blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (01:20:43):
So hang on, how are we getting the raccoons out?
Because this is this is for Papa Team six. This
is a classified document file that's going to now come
across our desk that we have to extract the raccoon.

Speaker 3 (01:20:56):
Can I tell you my plan? Yeah, Carson with the
Wildlife Team is awesome. However, Wildlife Team is expensive. I
don't want to build up too much of an invoice
to where when I then show said invoice to my
landlord and say, hey, let's take this off next month's rain.
I was taking care of this on the house. Blah

(01:21:16):
blah blah that if it gets up to a certain number,
I'm sure they're gonna be like, what the hell are
you spending money on? Because the first service I paid
for is like six hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:21:26):
Jesus Christ, bro, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
Here's the plan. Carson's gonna come on Monday. He's going
to set up multiple traps. If we don't catch him
by Wednesday with the multiple traps, then we are not
going to move forward with said service. During these next
couple of days, he said. It's imperative at night, and

(01:21:49):
good thing I'm on the night shift to listen for
noises because if I don't hear any noises tonight, I
should go up on our roof during mid day because
it's too hot for the raccoons up there. They will
flee and go, you know, pillage and go get whatever
food they need. During the day, I can go up
and shut the enclosure, but you can't shut the enclosure

(01:22:12):
when the raccoons are in there because they will die
and then your house smells like dead animal. For like
two months.

Speaker 1 (01:22:20):
I like this plan because the episode is releasing obviously
today as people are listening on follow up on D Day. Yeah,
that's so true. We can get a follow up on
this mission.

Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
Yeah, it's you go ahead, you get an operation name.

Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
I like that, Operation trash Panda, Operation trash Panda.

Speaker 2 (01:22:47):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
I was more of a going like Operation Raccoon of
bin Laden.

Speaker 3 (01:22:53):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:22:54):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (01:22:58):
I I just want to say this, we gotta keep
it under it now, we gotta keep it under an hour.
I'm a I'm not fully a broken man. I am
showing resilience from now on. The only takeaway, the only

(01:23:19):
win was that I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
Argue back at Jill in that moment. That is the
only takeaway. But if I could get.

Speaker 3 (01:23:27):
Your thoughts on how I handled the situation for what
the whole thing? Like, what are my thoughts on that story? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:23:39):
I think, very bad move, very very bad move putting
the headset on. Yeah, thinking after two and a half
hours or two hours at Kroger again, to think the
switch was just gonna happen and you're gonna throw on
the headset.

Speaker 3 (01:23:56):
I know that was a very bad move. You should
have done a couple of boys I'm running behind. I'm
probably not going to get on tonight, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:24:06):
Yeah, Because like it's like you go home, you put
the headset on when you're getting the mental lashing, and
I've been there, trust me. Stuff stews in the boy's
brain and I like lose composure with the wife, and
in my brain, what happens is like when the lashings,
we're going back and forth verbally, and then when she

(01:24:28):
you know, if I were to hit the dog, I'm
trying to think of how to say this, So, yeah,
say the verbal ashes are going and I take it
out on my dog. Yeah, when she goes upstairs and
takes the baby. What goes on in my mind is
more of like if I'm getting on the game, I'm
getting on the game because I know I'm going to
get another rise out of set situation, because I know

(01:24:48):
it's honestly, it's a bad move to just get back
to think like all right, they're all upstairs, I'm down
here kind of cooling off thinking about what to do next.

Speaker 3 (01:24:56):
Your first thoughts.

Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
Should not be I'm gonna goon with the boys on
pubg Yeah, should be calming down. It should be probably
sending a sending a text to feel out where she's at, like, hey,
hate how everything just went down.

Speaker 3 (01:25:14):
Would love the opportunity to come up and apologize and
help take on and help get a get a second
chance with Scotty, because I know you need your rest.

Speaker 1 (01:25:23):
And then there if you got Scotty not Scottie, I
keep Scarlett to get Scarlett calm down, and then I
can join the game if the moment still presents itself.
But that would have been my suggestion, because I will
be honest. When I was listening to you give every
all the play by play on the headset, I'm thinking
of myself, it's a bad move to be on.

Speaker 3 (01:25:48):
The game right now.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
Bad move.

Speaker 1 (01:25:50):
But I thought she was selfishly, I was happier on
the game. You talk to me into getting on.

Speaker 3 (01:25:56):
I did so in my head.

Speaker 1 (01:25:57):
I'm like, sure wanted me to be on, and I
told you, I told you I'm doing my back routine
right now. If you could get on at nine o'clock,
I'm on. Yeah, you're like nine fifteen nine thirty. I
was like, no, no, no, because here's what you do.
You'll say nine fifteen nine thirty. At least it's nine thirty.
You'll probably be on at nine to fifty ten o'clock.
You weren't even on nan and I remember being on
the game like I knew I was right about sure,

(01:26:19):
I'm not getting on here. So when you were on,
you came in during a chicken dinner we won. We're
excited for you to be on. But as you're telling
the story, I'm like, this doesn't feel good. It felt
like when you just spontaneously got off the game. It
was reminded me of Jurassic Park, the opening scene when
the velos Raptor takes Buddy.

Speaker 3 (01:26:38):
He's trapped in the cage with the Velociraptor. Yeah, shoot,
and dude just like losing his grip like you were
a goner.

Speaker 1 (01:26:45):
And when you got off, like I didn't even I
didn't even have any questions about it because I'm like, yeah,
I'm sure he's getting a validated lashing for being on
the game.

Speaker 3 (01:26:57):
Got a text from jay Rod immediately after I think
I talked. I might have said something like Adriie, would
you feel comfortable.

Speaker 2 (01:27:05):
Reaching out?

Speaker 3 (01:27:06):
Told shirm, but that would be like you know, thinking
listening back on all that, like that would be my
advice to you yeah, like if wife, he knows you're
gonna take thirty minutes, it happens to be two two
and a half hours. You were about to take on
night shift duty.

Speaker 2 (01:27:20):
Anyway, Yeah, I wonder where the fuck are you at?

Speaker 3 (01:27:22):
She sees you're giggling, goofing with j Rod with j Rod,
I get that. I get that on her part. I
get where she's coming from.

Speaker 1 (01:27:33):
And you know, don't condone in hitting your animal. But
that was like the move in the setting.

Speaker 4 (01:27:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:27:38):
Yeah, sometimes I look at Waffle like that's a sturdy
bulldogs are sturdy.

Speaker 2 (01:27:42):
Now, yeah, Docsin's a little different. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:27:46):
Usually it's usually it's one popping on the button. You know,
he's sorry, he starts minding. Yeah, and the pops are
very rare. As I tell this song, I like, yeah,
I sound like I'm blind with rage.

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
You get that way, like again right wrong and different
like that enraging blackout. That's what for the dads is
for It's to not shy away, dude, we're fucking human beings.
Rage fills our soul at times.

Speaker 3 (01:28:15):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (01:28:15):
I'll get in standoff with Waffle and it's it's fucking
and I will I'll stand over her like this like
to we all popper and like, you know, she'll try
to get to me, but she's a bulldog, so she
can't like reach your butt area where all like drag
her or something, and she'll just like you know, she'll
want to get like, oh, we're in it, and I'm
like back to her peacocking up, like okay, yeah, you

(01:28:37):
want to fight, you want to you want to stab
at me, go ahead and try.

Speaker 2 (01:28:41):
And all that happens.

Speaker 3 (01:28:42):
I'll like I like stand over and just stand like
this until she's like, you know, looking up me kind
of like growling, and then she'll kind of like turn
her walk away and I'll follow her. I'll follow her
to the room. Or if she's like against the wall,
stand over, fist.

Speaker 1 (01:29:02):
Clinch, you're in my house, waffle Yeah, don't you forget that? Yeah, which,
which she's barking and I'm trying to get it in
the room. It's like I will sit there and I'll
dog walker like walker all the way to the room.

Speaker 3 (01:29:16):
And I've done the Caesar Milan mead where the you
do the little that or the uh it's not a
full pinch, but you let them know that you're on
their neck. Yep. And you slowly push down and you
just pretty much like you were describing, stand over them. Yeah,
which is what I usually do with Wrigley because he's
our alpha, and.

Speaker 1 (01:29:36):
You go a little harder because just there's so much
rage filling your soul.

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
Oh I bite my lip, I bite my lip. But
that night I skipped all those steps and went and
or usually I'll do one of these, I'll go to
let them know, yeah, hey, that act could do that.
Don't forget who the alpha is, and that will usually
get them to be like, okay, yeah, I'm sorry, it happens.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
Man, dude, the text would been great. That's great advice.
I will say this.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
The only thing that did come across my mind that
was saying was uh, thinking back to your New York situation.

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
And just being like, don't.

Speaker 3 (01:30:15):
Don't say anything that I will regret later. Yeah, because
New York again, my body was filled with rage.

Speaker 1 (01:30:21):
Yeah, the darkest part of my soul to where you're
like saying things verbally back and forth to where we're
not getting nowhere, and I would just stay quiet, Oh

my mom would be on the camera, my dad there,
you get involved, like coaching wise, Oh my god, you're
just stuck with the old man watching full tournaments of
wrestling over the weekend. I cannot wait.

Speaker 1 (01:33:46):
Tell you what he looks. Take your shirt off, give
him the most mustage, dude. My dad would be in
front of his buddies. They'd be at the house in
the garage, and I come out and like say something.
They might be talking about either me playing sports or something. Yeah, yeah,
and uh my dad would start talking, like start talking
about my physique. It's like, well, pop off your shirt

(01:34:07):
showing your most muscular, my dad, come on, take off
your shirt showing the most muscular. And I'm like sitting there,
like take off, like take from my shirt in front

And how old are you? Like jo Bro, Yeah, like
eight nine, ten, God to be a fly on the one.

Speaker 1 (01:34:50):
And honestly, that flex is almost like a callback because
there's so many of those old photos that would like
my dad would like hang in his gym or like
hanging around to where it's like me and Cody doing
like the most muscular.

Speaker 3 (01:35:01):
You did it in that wrestling video that you posted.
That's like my favorite part of that video is when
you're standing before the match and your.

Speaker 1 (01:35:11):
We might have to have chef just run that clip
for you right now watching just oh Willie see doing
the fake cut driving the head. My dad's probably geek
and watching this right now.

Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
Yeah, I selfishly, I cannot wait till Scarlett's like moving
and operating and all I found myself doing.

Speaker 1 (01:35:35):
With room like sweeter, look at her calves like we
might have a little athlete on her hands and her shoulders.

Speaker 3 (01:35:40):
Yes, that goes to my crack of cole one. The
pediatrician appointment that we had, she did say for her size.
She was like, I'm not just saying this. She is
speisty as hell, like she is strong, and I'm like, okay, sir,
And she's talking about the legs. I dabbled with a
little bit soccer and track back in the day, and

(01:36:02):
Jill actually has some track stars on her side of
the family, like legitimate, like college level. I was not,
but I had a little bit of speed. So hearing that,
I'm like, ooh.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
Ooh, we like that.

Speaker 3 (01:36:15):
You don't.

Speaker 1 (01:36:15):
You just need another person to say, and then it
kind of validates, like maybe yes.

Speaker 3 (01:36:19):
And she turned on her side, which she does all
the time at the house. She turns on her side
on the table, and everybody in the room was like, oh,
she's turned on her side already. Oh my gosh. I don't.
I don't know any different because I just know my
warrior that's what they're saying. And she not only turned
on her side right as they're like bragging about it,
she then goes like up here and she's like looking

(01:36:42):
with her eyes around the room and turned on the
other side. And they were like, yo, that's crazy, Like
that's crazy. Just as you're changing or just start working
her legs, okay, so working some stretches, I'm like, I
got a little striker. I got a little forward here, buddy,
She's gonna be on the women's team. Come on. As
she continues to develop that so like it gets exciting,

(01:37:02):
I'm gonna put a soccer ball at her feet so
fricking fast, dude, so fast. Yeah, and you just kind
of put hey, you won't play the soccer one that okay,
all right, you don't want to play yet, and you're
just itching.

Speaker 1 (01:37:11):
You see what kind of ability they might have. So
you know, she's spinning pretty well out there.

Speaker 3 (01:37:16):
That just put a gold in the backyard. What's that thing?
What do you do with that?

Speaker 1 (01:37:19):
Put on the little blocks, like if you go to gymnastics,
like putting out the little blocks and they're like balancing
on each one or sep across each one.

Speaker 3 (01:37:26):
She's doing it a little bit better than the other.

Speaker 2 (01:37:28):
One's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:37:29):
I cannot wait is dou And then the crack that
was basically my cracker col One, but just wanted to
highlight it was so sick. Scarlet's tiny. She came out
five pounds six ounces. Yeah, but she's two weeks old.
Oh yeah, but just like tiny in general. I mean
they were like, she is tiny. We go to the
first appointment, she was five pounds one ounce and they're like, hey,

(01:37:52):
normal for baby to lose weight in that first week.
We want her back to five pounds six ounces at least.
For an appointment, she clocked in at five pounds thirteen ounces,
eight percent increase. And it's because Jill has just been
a superhero on feedings every three hours on the clock,

(01:38:14):
making sure she's getting milk, making sure And it's so
cool in that moment to like see Jill to be
able to like reap the rewards of that, and like, yes,
I'm hard on Sherman and I want him to be
attentive at night, but like these are the reasons why
so that Scarlett is developing well, And like our pediatrician,
doctor Stiegelfest is sitting there and going like a plus marks. Yeah,

(01:38:36):
she's growing. She's great, huge win, huge win. Milk Team
six is doing their job. Yeah, as they always do,

once upon a farm, though, that's what Scott. He's been
crushing Once upon a Farm puffs. She just been hitting
the I guess I'll say that for a survival kit later, yeah,

(01:39:54):
next week or something. But she's been crushing food. Bro
a little blueberries and you squash them and put them
in front of her like she's operating with their hands.
Scotty is Scott, he's operating, and rou was a bit
more of a picky eater. Is that No, neither of them.
Ru wasn't picky when she was like a baby. She's
picky now they like get picky. Yeah, yeah, but she's

(01:40:16):
been operating with these puffs, dude, she loves them. This
once upon a farm.

Speaker 3 (01:40:20):
This looks sick.

Speaker 2 (01:40:21):
This looks sick.

Speaker 3 (01:40:22):
It's like in a little pouch for people that are listening.
That looks squeezable.

Speaker 1 (01:40:26):
Yeah, the squeezable pouches. They got puffs and containers. They
got little bars. That's survival.

Speaker 3 (01:40:32):
That's awesome. How about for you got to keep it
under now, got to keep.

Speaker 2 (01:40:35):

Speaker 3 (01:40:36):
Uh? Mine is very broad, but mine is a good
diaper bag. It came in clutch when we went to
the pediatrician the other day. Uh thing diturdy, A sturdy
diaper bag and one that can load up everything that
you would ever need, wipes, diapers, creams, lotions, blanket, maybe
an extra set of clothes in there.

Speaker 2 (01:40:55):
Do you got the uh the little roll up at
the bottom of the bag.

Speaker 1 (01:40:59):
Got the roll up for the blowout on the go,
blowout on the go I'm telling you, in the back
of the chevy where I have to drop the I've
dropped the tailgate, laid out that little mat that they

seen your posts on it, and I'm like, I know
one day I'm gonna be using you.

Speaker 2 (01:41:16):
It's staring back at yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:41:19):
And then what Jill went the extra step and she
had the individual bags inside the diaper bag are labeled
on the bag. So one bag says wipes, other bags
says diapers, another bag says you know whatever it's got
in there. That's the ultimate dad hack of all time.
I'm operating in that diaper bag like I'm mama Bear. Yeah.

(01:41:41):
Love that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:42):
So that's yeah, that's my dad hack slash survival kid.

Speaker 1 (01:41:46):
My dad hack is how to get how to get
your kids to eat vegetables. I came across the little
dad hack a little w last night.

Speaker 3 (01:41:58):
Okay, and we're trying to get Rudy broccoli.

Speaker 1 (01:42:02):
She'll eat her main portions, she'll lead her fruit, ye,
but getting her to get the veggies down has always
been a pain point for us. But what I did
last night is I'm sitting there trying to talk to
her about broccol I'm like, sweetheart, you gotta eat all
the different colors. Like green is like the most important
color to eat. Green affects your you know, like your brain,
your heart, your muscles, your hair. She's like your feet,

(01:42:25):
like your feet too, your feet too, and everybody you
take fills one of those checks off a box or
one of that. Can we get you to eat if
you eat five pieces of broccoli, We'll do one for
your hair, one for your eyes, one for your brain,
one for your heart, and one for your feet.

Speaker 3 (01:42:41):
Ooh she took them down. No way, yeah man.

Speaker 2 (01:42:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:42:48):
And the next night, that was two nights ago. The
next night she had broccoli again and she didn't want
to eat it. She was in the pantry kind of
be like, no, I want this snack, I want this.
And I'm like, oh, she wanted her vitamins, because the
vitamins it's like gummies or whatnot.

Speaker 2 (01:43:01):
Oh yeah, like a little treat.

Speaker 1 (01:43:03):
You can't have your vitamins until you eat your broccoli.
And then you know, she's kind of going through it,
and I had to remind her. I'm like, hey, sweetheart,
what were the five things?

Speaker 2 (01:43:11):
Dad said?

Speaker 1 (01:43:11):
That broccoli or green helps with yeh. She's like, I
don't know you say it. I was like remember the
five things. I was like your hair, and then she
was like my heart. I was like your heart, your eyes,
your brain, and she's like at my feet, and I
was like, you eat these couple of bites right here.
We check all those boxes and we can get to
your vitamins.

Speaker 3 (01:43:30):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (01:43:31):
So that is my little dag.

Speaker 1 (01:43:33):
Dad hack on how to get your kids to eat
their vegetables is like naming the body parts or thing
whatever might get them on board for like, hey, this
is what you're helping out. This is how your body's
going to operate better because you ate these vegetables.

Speaker 3 (01:43:49):

white food does as well. Yeah, it's not just to
fill up your tummy. There's some nourishment there. Yeah, they
have a role they do. This is how it helps
you out. I love that you have all that pretty hair.
You gotta keep feeding, you gotta keep eating your broccoli.

Hats off to Papa Team six member right there, two
time Semen teams, two times Semen team, but.

Speaker 3 (01:50:32):
His wife going away for the week, and he's taken
on the role, the caretaker role at home and being
on the wall, being on the watch.

Speaker 1 (01:50:41):
I remember my first time when Charle went to Paris
with her friends. She was going for like, yeah, either
a week or nine days or.

Speaker 2 (01:50:49):
Something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:50:50):
She gone, gone, gone, gone, And it was dude, honestly,
a uh, some parts are easier just solo parenting. Obviously
he's checking out with the week. I don't know, like
what work, childcare and stuff like that's involved. Yeah, but
having the one on one time with your little ones, honestly, like, uh,
it's a lot of fun because it's just you and
he's a girl dad, so he's spending time with his daughter,

(01:51:11):
Daddy daughter time. Obviously, I know the guys out there
f sons and stuff like that, like, I'm sure that's great.
Appreciate you guys briaging on that stuff. But your one
on one time with your daughter is a load of fun.
Like I'm sure he's listening right now. He's probably had
a great week with her so far. They get in
more of a routine with dad. She's about keeping that
routine going. And my recommendation would be again I said

(01:51:33):
it to you earlier, but videoing a lot of stuff.
I know my first time watching ru, I videoed a
lot of different stuff that we were doing, like going
into a room stealers, see her smiling when she's waking up,
putting her to bed, reading a story, when we're at
the coffee shop. Uh, video on her at the coffee shop.
She was only like, uh, she wasn't too yet, but
videoing as much as I could because I put a

(01:51:54):
little video together at the end of it. Because it's
just you and her, it's like your all your attentions
on her and gave me something kind of creative to
do for when mom came home. But that's a great time.
I feel like it's a great age too. Like if
it was just me and Rufe for a week, I
don't think it would be too I think it'd be fun.
Like obviously keeping it on the routine of everything, but
there's a lot of those wiggle rooms, those little gray

(01:52:15):
areas that mom and dad might be strong on. But
now that you're with dad, Hey, here's an extra piece.

Speaker 2 (01:52:21):
Of a cookie.

Speaker 3 (01:52:21):
Hey, I'll hook you up with this. Hey, let's go
get some ice cream. Okay, you can stay.

Speaker 2 (01:52:26):
Up twenty minutes later.

Speaker 3 (01:52:27):
Hey there's something.

Speaker 1 (01:52:27):
Cool on TV now for dad. We got some we
got a sport on. You want to watch your dad?
You want to stay up a little bit longer, or
let's pop on this movie. Yeah yeah yeah, but embrace it, dude,
embrace it. That's I think that's cool.

Speaker 3 (01:52:41):
There was a video that you had, if I'm remembering correct,
that charl had gone out of town and you're through
you and you move some furniture like in your kitchen
area for y'all to have like a little dance party.

Speaker 2 (01:52:52):
Yeah, there's some kind of little dance party. That you're
throwing love.

Speaker 1 (01:52:55):
That Yeah, yeah, dude, it's just you know, it's like
a lot of times too, like you might come across
where it's like the mom doesn't trust the dad to
be on his own.

Speaker 3 (01:53:03):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (01:53:04):
And so it's like a nice little badge of honor
that you can watch the kids solo dolo, or you
can watch the kids solo dol.

Speaker 2 (01:53:10):
And that I don't know if I talked about that
on the low.

Speaker 1 (01:53:12):
The oldest part a prep for the meals, prep for
the dinners, because now you'll be kind of stuck. Oh
he ain't got this ordering something, just being ready. It's like,
oh shoot, I got to order. You gotta give the right.
So because the big thing you want is you want
to alleviate mom while she is gone. You don't want
to be the dad checking in every five minutes, Hey
where's this at?

Speaker 2 (01:53:31):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (01:53:31):
What do I do here?

Speaker 2 (01:53:32):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (01:53:32):
What would you recommend here? I can't find this. She's
giving me a tough time right now. No, let mom
be fully out, be fully to where she's thinking. Is
everything okay?

Speaker 3 (01:53:42):
Back home?

Speaker 1 (01:53:42):
And she wants to call and check in, Oh we're
having a great time, or on FaceTime.

Speaker 3 (01:53:46):
You want mom to.

Speaker 1 (01:53:46):
Feel the full freedom of being away, and I feel
like she has to be away and have her entire
pulse on everything that's going on back home. Yeah, that's
how you be prepared. That's how you knock it out
of the park.

Speaker 3 (01:53:57):
It sounds like he's already in the thick of it,
but I'm sure that he prepared and killed it. Yeah.
I love that he's underneath his car too, calling us
this guy is locked in.

Speaker 2 (01:54:06):
He's locked in.

Speaker 3 (01:54:08):
What was his name again, chef? Uh, I'll play the
beginning card again, Cordell Cordel And that was that came
in yesterday. So so he's day one as we're recording this,
so so he'll still be in it. He's got a
couple of days left. Let's go Cordel. Yeah, let's fucking

(01:54:28):
go Cordell and shot out Nebraska.

Speaker 1 (01:54:30):
Always loved him. Chef might just be hey, here's in
Nebraska one. Let's throw in movie.

Speaker 2 (01:54:36):
I think that's three weeks in a row. Yeah, not
by design at all.

Speaker 3 (01:54:40):
Well, they call in not by design.

Speaker 2 (01:54:42):
And you're a big balls fan, that's a pretty easy
yeah too.

Speaker 3 (01:54:45):
I did hear a Tennessee guy first one?

Speaker 4 (01:54:48):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:54:49):
Uh, what do we have left. We have our topic,
quote or lesson of the week. Do you have one?

Speaker 2 (01:54:55):
I I did, and funny enough, it.

Speaker 3 (01:54:57):
Was, uh, just attention to detail, attention to the small things,
and I was going to apply it to at home
with my daughter, but it also applies to the office,
as we learned today. To say, my meeting with Will
for my mid year review at Busting with the Boys
was there were a lot of good things to celebrate.

(01:55:21):
But one of the things that since I was a kid,
that I've struggled with is the attention to the details,
the little things that you need to do right, because
the big things can't happen if you aren't doing the
little things right. Perfect example, publish a podcast online. You
cannot do that if you do not hit the record button. Yeah,

(01:55:44):
and so it's just a good reminder and it's funny
that like that happened today and that that was also
my plan. My lesson is attention to detail. I did
not Will, we didn't record. We weren't recording for forty
five minutes. You're gonna be late to you probably won't
even get to do the showing of the commercial space.
But that was my lesson for the week. It's a

(01:56:08):
quick It's a small one but just I love it
the attention to details.

Speaker 2 (01:56:11):
And with Scarlet it's a.

Speaker 3 (01:56:12):
Good reminder you can't ever say stuff like that enough. Yeah,
with Scarlett, it is just being on track with like
do we have enough diapers? Do we have enough wipes?

Speaker 2 (01:56:22):
Uh? Do we have enough? This?

Speaker 3 (01:56:24):
That just helping mom out because she can't do it all.

Speaker 2 (01:56:29):
That's my speed. Run.

Speaker 3 (01:56:30):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:56:31):
My uh my lesson or topic of the week comes
from Saheel Bloom. Oh yeah, his new book Five Types
of Wealth, and he has a partner called The Magic Years.

Speaker 3 (01:56:43):
Number one.

Speaker 1 (01:56:44):
If you're a parent, you're somebody who is ambitious, hardworking, juggle.
Both things were perspective on life. This book I can't
recommend enough. It is called Five Types of Wealth by
Sahuel Bloom. And he's somebody who has a young one
too around I want to say his son is around Rose.
He might he might have two kiddos now, but he's
someone who's that's like work life balance and having a

(01:57:05):
lot of perspective. But there was this part of the
book it's called the Magic Years. So I'm going to
read this part of the book called The Magic Years
for ten years you are your child's favorite person in
the entire world. And after that children have other favorite people,
best friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, partners, and eventually their own children.

(01:57:26):
But during those ten years, you are everything to them.
You occupy a unique place in their world, and it
is during this period that the foundation for the parent
child relationship so central to many people's social wealth, is built.
It might be a strong foundation that is likely to
last for decades, or a flimsy or a flimsy one

(01:57:49):
that's likely to crumble in years. But there is one
terrifying truth. By the time your children are eighteen, you've
already used up the vast majority of the time you'll
have with them. Unfortunately, we live in a society where
children's early years coincide with their parents's peak working hours, travel,
and other professional responsibilities. For many of us, these special

(01:58:11):
years come and go in the blink of an eye,
a blur of late nights in the office, meetings about meetings,
emails at the dinner table, and weekend calls. In a
viral Reddit post from May twenty twenty three, a user
wrote a user wrote, twenty years from now, the only
people who will remember that you worked late are your kids.
Commenters responded with a motion filled posts such as the

(01:58:34):
graveyard is full of irreplaceable and important people. And I've
missed so many birthdays, plays and events for work and
I can't even tell you why. I don't remember what
I was working on. I can't tell you why it
was important, but I can tell you how my not
being there made my kids feel. I am of two
minds on this. One being present and spending time with

(01:58:57):
those you love is the most important thing in the end,
and two, having the people you love see you work
hard on things you care about is a principle they'll
remember for the rest of their lives.

Speaker 2 (01:59:09):
Strong.

Speaker 1 (01:59:10):
I love this book, by the way, you know, I
saw somebody somebody tweeted saying that he got the strong
father's strong daughters a staple and the Papa six Papa
six philosophy.

Speaker 2 (01:59:21):
If you're a girl dad for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:59:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:59:23):
But I love five types of well see he'll bloom.
And I love his kind of description of the magic
years and how we are in them and how he
him explaining also how hard it is because it's also
as a young parent, your peak years of work, and
some of those quotes that kind of give perspective on
when you get to some endpoint or when they're grown

(01:59:45):
and out of the nest of you know, I can't
even tell you why I was at those events for work.
I don't remember what I was working on. I can't
tell you why it was important, but I can tell
you me not being there, how it made my kids feel.
Just those like little things that again help you grab
any perspective on what you might currently be doing and
how I might currently be operating to where I need

(02:00:05):
to get this and check a little bit more. How
can I structure this a little bit better so you
juice out and take advantage of the magic years being young,
being a young parent, embracing the fatherhood of it all. Yeah,
with your wife, with your kids, just taking in those
fleeting seconds and just trying to hold on to them

(02:00:27):
a little bit longer, videoing everything, taking as many photos
as you possibly can.

Speaker 3 (02:00:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:00:34):
When I look at Scotty and I'm wanting to like
journal things down that she's doing, I'm like kicking myself
because I wish I would have done that more with Rue.
Like I have some of Ruth's first like in my
notes app. And it's like you think in the moment
I'll remember to write this down, or I'll remember this
because it was so glaring in this point in life.
But you forget a lot of stuff. So it's like

(02:00:55):
taking all of those moments in and then also having
this perspective on how if you're somebody out there are
struggling with like work life balance, hearing something like this
of the Magic Years, and just reminding you of what
life is about and how you can maybe course correct
in a few.

Speaker 3 (02:01:10):
Areas several things from that lesson, I'm sure my dad
would say there's a lot of things that he wishes
that he could change about how he raised my brother
and I, work being one of them. He felt like
work really kind of took priority. However, yes, he could

(02:01:33):
have put work to the side a bit more like
in our years in high school, he would say that,
But being at this age now and now having a daughter,
I respect that that much more of just what he
was able to provide for my brother and I and
my mom, and like you don't see it because he's

(02:01:55):
not at home, but being on that side now, it's
like I know that there is love in that action
of working hard and wanting to provide for your family.
And wanting to do a good job, and uh, there
is a balance to it. Like you said, there's like
two schools of thoughts. U. S. Hill correct, So he'll

(02:02:17):
there are two schools of thought. But I do think
that it does show a tremendous amount of dedication and
it's really cool, it's really respectable. But finding that balance,
I'm sure that's hard, especially for you, dude, you travel
so much. But I feel like you do a really
good job of locking in when you're home, like you

(02:02:38):
really it seems like that to me that you were
prioritizing those moments. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:02:44):
Yeah, because it's something that i'll like, uh, battle with
because it's like a game, bro, we won't get these
years back.

Speaker 3 (02:02:50):
Yeah, Like I know, we're in the best times of
our life right now. Work related, home related.

Speaker 1 (02:02:56):
It's like finding all of those all of those balance
because even to your example with your dad, it's like
thinking about my parents and having people that you love
work hard on things that they care about is a
principle that I remember. It's like thinking about my mom
and dad and my dad being in between jobs and
working hard to get another one and not being home

(02:03:16):
a times because he had the higher salary, and it's
like the way we had to kind of structure everything
as a middle class or lower middle class family to
make ends meet. You understand the love that goes into it,
into that even though I know my dad probably has
regrets that he wishes he would have been a part
of more. Yeah dude, and will we will too?

Speaker 3 (02:03:36):
We will too, Yeah, yes, yeah we will as well.
But it's just like those.

Speaker 1 (02:03:42):
Those perspective things on knowing, like it's like that's why,
Like for myself personally, what I challenge myself on is
what I'm wanting to say yes to, so that way
everything else I can just say no to, like it's
an easy decision versus sitting in like yeah, some opportunities
will be like yeah, this is a big opportunity, need
to take this opportunity.

Speaker 3 (02:04:02):
In others where it could just be like we can
relate it and it's like do I need this?

Speaker 2 (02:04:06):
Is this more?

Speaker 3 (02:04:07):
Because a lot of it too in the work related stuff,
it's like selfishly, you love your work, you love doing
all of these things, and we have a fun job
and we have a fun job, but it's like, hey,
do I need to do this and is this going
to actually move the needle, or am I just wanting
to do this selfishly? Am I wanting to do this
just to get away or whatever it is? Sometimes it
might be that way, and that's like a good communication
with my wife, like hey, I need to go, I

(02:04:29):
need to do something, or I need to go get
out or whatever it is. Oh buddy, he was talking
about Dennis Rodman weekend. But it helps me compartmentalize. It
helps me compartmentalize a lot of those things that I
can easily say no to and be like, yeah, I
don't care to do that, Like that would be fun,
but I'd rather be home because dude, he talks about

(02:04:52):
ten years, and you can break the numbers down however
you want, but it's like, in those ten years, that's what.
But once one summer per year, that's forty summers. Yeah,
when they're little and you have them all to.

Speaker 1 (02:05:09):
Yourself and they think you're an absolute superhero, let's just
say five, right, five summers that you have five potential
opportunities to go on summer vacations.

Speaker 2 (02:05:17):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:05:19):
You'll feel this having a scarlet as how old is
she two weeks Scottie?

Speaker 2 (02:05:26):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (02:05:26):
She's eight months old? And so she's eight months old
for this moment in time. They grow fast, Like you
were saying, you saw the picture of a newborn in
three month old, and it's like they're just different people.
They grow fast, and there's such fun moments in those
when you're checking off eight months, nine months, ten months.
It's like, Rue, I can remember when her personality was
coming to life in sixteen months, when her personality was

(02:05:46):
coming to life at month sixteen. There's only four weekends
that she's going to be sixteen months old, and each
chapter is something different, and that's like how I try
to compartmentalize it in my brain when breaking down all
these things is like some things we're just gonna.

Speaker 4 (02:06:03):
Have to do.

Speaker 3 (02:06:03):
This is what This is what we do with bustling
with the boys, this is how it works, gonna have
to be in these house.

Speaker 1 (02:06:08):
But everything else, it's like I try to have that
perspective of you know, she's only going to be two
for one year, She's only going to be this three
year old, this three major year.

Speaker 3 (02:06:19):
When I just want to for one year, you know
what I mean, and then it's gone.

Speaker 1 (02:06:24):
It's fleeting, yeah, And I never want to be in
a spot when I'm looking back, like, fuck, I why
did I go and do this? When it's like I
look at Scotty and I have so much more appreciation
of like living in her eighth month old body right now,
because I remember how fun it was with Rue, and
I'm experiencing new things with Scotty at eight months old,
and I feel like I have more of an appreciation

(02:06:46):
in those moments because it's like the perspective of she's
only going to be eight months old for one month,
so befour weekends we have with her in this age,
and I want to and you want to take advantage.

Speaker 3 (02:06:59):
If this scores you points at home, I hope it does.
But you can see it written all over you in
Taylor as well. Whenever we are traveling, you guys get
homesick and I've all buddy, and I've yet to experience
that because i haven't had to travel for work yet
with Scarlett here now. But I I feel it even
in moments like this, of like, you do want to

(02:07:21):
be home, and so I do think on the other
side of it, like the work side of it, it
does show your love that much more that it's like, hey,
we have to do these things right.

Speaker 1 (02:07:34):
You're t like you're subconsciously wiring in their brain when
you commit to something and you want something and you're
ambitious for something, like staying on course and showing that resilience,
showing that perseverance. Yeah, and that working just that working
attitude about it, Yes, because it shows that too. It's
like we're obviously gonna get old and we're all gonna
wish we spent every moment at home. Oh yeah, dude,

(02:07:56):
but that's just like that comes with it. But you're right,
it's like you're we get on the road and going
at football season this year, in spring tour and stuff
next year. It's like, now we're in a spot to
where we're healthy in such a way to where it's
like I want us to fly private so that way
we can squeeze every.

Speaker 3 (02:08:14):
Moment, Like how can we leave the day of and
also come back to the day up.

Speaker 1 (02:08:17):
Yeah, so we're not stuck figuring out all these different flights,
the lace happen, all these other things out rooms, yeah,
hotel rooms.

Speaker 3 (02:08:24):
It's like how do we get in and get out
as quickly as possible. That comes at a cost, It
comes at a big cost.

Speaker 1 (02:08:28):
But it's like when we're making this, it's like, hey,
we can just cut this chunk out and be like,
we're doing this because we want the full priority being
how do we be efficient and maximize our opportunities with
these things with busting, but also maximize and be efficient
with our opportunities at home to be with our family.

Speaker 3 (02:08:45):
Well in the power of no too, like to just
bring it to myself of yet another thing I can
learn what we talked about my mid year review of
like that is something I struggle with so badly. Stop
saying yes to so many things I say behind everything,
and I gotta work on saying no because like that

(02:09:06):
will come in the way of me spending time with
Jill and with Scarlett. Yeah, and being able in those
moments to be like, hey, I can't go on that
golf trip. That sucks.

Speaker 2 (02:09:18):
I see all the pictures. They look like they're having
a blast.

Speaker 3 (02:09:21):
Wish I could be doing that, But I'm doing something
incredible in this moment too, like my daughter's coming into
the world later this month or whatever. There was a
great wedding. One of my close friends shout out andre
that it was out of the country. Would have loved
to be there, And you see all the pictures, you're like,

(02:09:42):
oh man, but it's also like, hey, we're doing something
big here too. It's stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:09:48):
It's like, I think the nature in all of us
is we're all you know, we want We're like people pleasers, right,
I want to please everybody. And then you realize when
you're trying to please everybody, you see where you can't
pour into the things that you absolutely prioritize in your life,
and you see how it affects that, and then you
feel so spread thin and stressed about it when it's like, Okay,

(02:10:08):
let's just think about the things that I want to do.
How can I prioritize this? How can I structure it?
And then that helps you say no, you understand, like
where your boundaries are.

Speaker 3 (02:10:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:10:20):
A great episode.
