He's he listened to a couple. He's went all the
way back.

man's bought all the way in.

He's mom o GP mom.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
My mom listens on the day we launched. She'll go
work out at like five, like six am.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
She loves to hear a boy on the mic that
that's what that is. That's a that's a that's a
very proud mom. That's a that's a stoked mom. Right,
she does I come home.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
She makes sometimes some comments that some of the jokes that.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
She does, it's funny. Yeah, oh jack, you boys, what's
the show jack mom? It's a roller coaster.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
And Chef was telling me too, you like, my dad
was like, I went back and listened to an early
one in that situation in New York where you know,
the friends are offering to watch the kid, offer to
watch the kids, and you kind of took them back.
He's like I'm taking that ten times out of ten.
He's that we're selfless most of the time, like we do.
We do our work most of the time. But you
get that opportunity, you gotta let the you gotta let

(05:24):
the kids rock with your friends. And I don't think
that's wrong at all. Yeah, we have a question for
the audience. Actually, is it out of line? Oh, ask
your friends if they have kids just like you do
or more kids. Is it a big no note to
ask those friends to watch your kids. That's kind of

(05:46):
a question that we repose. You know, there's some situations
going on behind the scenes. I won't fully you know,
if Shirm feels comfortable bringing it.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Up, I'll bring it up.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
So mission this weekend.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
I'm on a mission.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Sweet.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, there's a bet six mission right here, A big one,
A big one one for you to knock out of
the park truly and go down and give give the
audience some context.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
We mentioned it a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
True. Okay, So Jill is on a bachelorette party in
Miami currently we are recording on Friday right now.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Oh, she get rowdy, mama, letting the hair down. You
tell her, hey, you let your hair down. Your boys
got you let your hair down.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Get get some mc lobes and listen to that by
Bunnie on the Beach.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
She's in Bad Bonnie on the Beach Swift album. That's
probably not beach mode, however, that is out.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
I could get down with some Tea Swift.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
I can get down some with some Tea Swift.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
But she she's having a good time. Well, actually she's
been crying a lot. I've been getting a lot of
texts this morning that she's crying a lot and she
just misses her girl.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Okay, so this isn't. This isn't. I'm a little I've
had a few, a few beverages.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
In no get emotional. This is like, I'm separation anxiety.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Unless you yeah, unless she's listening to a Bad Bonnie
at the airport and getting some brew Whall's at the airport,
she's sober. Little separation anxiety, dude, I gotta show you
a picture now that I'm bringing this up. I'm sending
this to you immediately. Chef uh full on schedule layout
on the kitchen Island for me as if I was

(07:24):
three years old. And it doesn't offend, It doesn't offend me.
It does not offend me.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
You better than me.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Oh had some fun with it. It took it out
and ripped it up. Don't ever disrespect me again. I
don't want to hear from you unless we do our
FaceTime check ins. And when you gotta see you gotta
see Scarscar and you gotta see the girls, we'll get
on FaceTime. But this is hey, this is I'm telling you,
this is PT six game right here. When you have
the opportunity to watch the kid, kid or kids solo,

(07:53):
you make sure your wife feels as comfortable as possible.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Leaving the nest.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Leaving the nest, I saw the note you left for
your parents. I think, but your parents are coming on
to come watch the kid. I'm watching the kids. Yeah, yeah, oh,
I was just a little confused.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I think you forgot I'm not getting any sitters outside
of when we're doing the for the Dad's podcast.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
But that's it. I'm running this ship. What is this?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
I saw that I got my own notes. You just
lift up like a little sticky note.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Got my own notes, and it just says I got it.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
I gotta give context here she has I mean, this
is like will It's instructions for building a chair. Yes,
she has, it's what instructions it will she? Uh get
good on, Jill, I mean, this is this give this
is the ultimate. You have no excuse, oh if it
goes wrong.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Zero excuse. She she could run a small country, my
wife like truly. She has outfits in zip hoc baggies
labeled for each day Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Like.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
She has phone numbers written now, phone health info. She
has at everything, she has taught nighttime routine. She has
a two a time schedule.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Two a time schedule, has eight emergency contact listenings. Now
I will I'll add some bonus context to it. She
has been meaning to do that for like any babysitter,
or like any any.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
You're right right, so, because I'm enjoying thinking of the
couple's watching right now, and the old man PT. Six
is sitting over there looking at like that's you, what
they talking about? That's you, that's your every day. But
I feel that though so almost like a like a
playbook for if anybody. She she's got the process, the
systems written out for if she needs a delegate at

(09:42):
any moment in time.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
This is the this is the formula.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
It just so happens that she laid it out or
got it done, like right as she goes on dispatcheorette party,
and it seems like it's for you, but really it's
just this is the general this.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Is the Bible.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
This is the Bible. This is the baby Bible writing.
But I will say I like got her roll belly
laughed when I saw it because I I feel like
I'm twelve years old.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
And by the way, when I said you handled it
better than me, I would have ripped it up, said
don't ever disrespect me. The minute she walks out the door,
I'm piecing it back together. I'm daping and got a second,
let me see what we got. Oh yeah, I did
forget about that part by the funk that. But one
thing I would do, which I would encourage, this would
be a nice one. It's just like, you know, you
keep scarscar like in her. You know, I'll like if
Charles's gone and it's me and say it's Scottie. Ru's

(10:27):
different roos three years. I'll get her dress, I'll get
her going for Scotty. I'll leave in the PJS all
day long. But since she has the outfits in a
ziplock bag. It's almost like you have you have scarscar
just in her pjs and you just take a photo
with her on zip block, like got her got her
outfits for Sunday. Look, yeah, just like holding the ziplock bag.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
I ran into that this morning because she had not
a full blowout, but she leaked out of one of
her legs and I was like, well, I don't want
to dig into the ziploc like, I'll just get a
one sie. So I threw a.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
Don't.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
I don't even really know why, but I was like, yeah,
why dig into the ziplock What if I just didn't
use the zip blocks at all? Just kind of showed her.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
I mean, hey, listen, would the sticky not say I
got it? You got this? I got it? So Jill's
gone for the weekend.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
She's gone for the weekend. I am being left at
home with Scarlett all weekend. This this is truly my
dad loss, my the trenches, and my cracker coal one
this week you already have in this story. And by
the way, we're filming on this is It's Friday Friday,

(11:38):
So this is day one for you, Yes, Day one, Well,
you got a three day weekend. I will say this
is day one, but the report card came out two
weeks ago, when like the idea of this, of Sherman
being here because I'm and Jill will take no offense
of this. Her mom coming in town, got brought up

(11:59):
a couple times a night, nurse got brought up a
couple of times.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
And give game, just the BT sixers, like this isn't
this isn't uncommon. That's uncommon the way like the generations
and everything has went just for the for the mail, Yeah,
for the male brain, for the dad brain, all of it. Yeah,
this isn't uncommon. So these are opportunities, gentlemen, for you
to This is why it's such a big opportunity to

(12:24):
knock it out of the park, to add points points
to the scoreboard, not to hold over their head, but
just to let them know, Hey, you want to go
on that. I can operate just as well as you can,
just as well the same as well.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
And guess why I do it as well because you
leave me zip hoc bags. Man, you leave me instructions. Man,
you're the best.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
So she's bringing this stuff up.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
You know, I'm going out of town for two days,
like Should I get my parents in town?

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Should we get some baby? Can you handle? How old
is Scarlet? Three months?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Can you handle a three month old by yourself for
seventy two hours?

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Are you sure? Because I have to shake you awake
at night when she's crying.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, you do a good job.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Once I get you awake, you do get out of
bed and you go help her. But I have to
shake you awake. How are you gonna wake up?

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Baby?

Speaker 3 (13:16):
It's fine because my brain's gonna know, Oh, Jill's not here,
and I'll be hearing the crying. Blah blah blah. Well,
I don't know. I just don't think you can wake up.
So I'm being on this podcast. I was like, I
can't be a co host on this podcast and cop
out and not take this head on and look Reilly
seeing in the eyes and be like, hey, I'm crushing

(13:37):
it as a dad. So I'm when she's bringing up
those things like, oh, I don't think you can wake up,
blah blah. It's fine.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
I'll get an air mattress, I'll sleep in the nursery.
There's gotta be an internal fire brewing. Oh yeah, I
was kind of getting this doubt. Yeah, I was like, Oh,
can't I handle this.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
I'll sleep on the ground on the air mattress. Then
I'll wake up. There ain't no way I ain't waking up.
I'll need a monitor. I'm on the front lines. I'll
be there. That's what I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
I'm fired up for you.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
It's gonna be good, dude, I'm fired up for you.
This morning was incredible. It like, actually was incredible. It
was sick.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
No, we are filming it is. It's eleven right now.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
It's eleven right now.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Jill's out, she's in Miami.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
She go Auntie Hillary aka Hillary Cox is watching Scarlet.
That's my boy, Brian I've told you about.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's his wife.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
They were sweet enough. She came over. She's watching Scarlett
and she's crushing it. As soon as she walked in,
she was like, Hey, I think I'm gonna listen to
some Taylor's. Truly, I'm gonna listen to some Taylor Swift
with her introduce her to the new album. I was like,
that sounds like a game plan. Yeah, Scarlett just got
brand new sparkly pink shoes, so she's gonna be showing
those off to Aunti Hillary. Yeah, she napped like a

(14:58):
champ this morning, and she's has not been napping well.
The Merlin, dude, I didn't even put the Merlin down
on my sheet. Do you know what the merlin is?
The quarterback for Ohiose State last year, what's his name?
Will Howard? His family invented this sleepsack thing that's called

(15:21):
a Merlin and it basically just turns your baby into
the Michelin man, the tire logo guy, and they sleep
flat on their back with their arms out wide and
their legs out straight, and they love it. It's crazy, dude.
I sent it to the PT six social thing. I
was like, we need to make a quote graphic that
Will Howard was the very first Merlin baby. Steelers future

(15:43):
Hall of Fame quarterback Will Howard's family.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yes, wishing well a healthy, healthy recovery with the injuries
got going on right now.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Oh yeah, but a survival kit. Survival kit the Merlin.
But yeah, dude, I mean Scarlett was like crushing the
nap this morning. She's smiling a whole lot, and she's
starting to like, instead of cooing, she's actually like you
can tell she wants to talk so bad, and so
whenever I'm like coming over the crib or like putting
her in her playpen. It's like, I know, mom, ya

(16:12):
ya ya, And I'm like, oh my gosh, you said
I love you Dad.

Speaker 8 (16:16):
I know you did.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
I know you're trying to say it, but you have
a sitter until twelve thirty twelve.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Got to keep it. You got to keep this one
under an hour.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Literally have to keep it under an hour, okay, or
Jill will skin me alive.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
But there was also so if we go all the
way back to what started all of this conversation, it was.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Easy over the line to have your friend.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Who has the same amount of kids or more kids
watch your kid, in this case scarscar three month old
m you had a situation or Professor Clump.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Professor Clump and his wife Lindsay God.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Bless her, who made some banana bread and wrote a
really sweet note to Jill for her birthday. So thank you, Lindsay.
Shout out. It was off that they could watch Scarlett
here at the shop. They have two boys, one of
which is four and some change, and another one's like two
and some change. Shout out JJ, shout out JJ, shout
out Brady. But they're I mean, they're a handful in themselves,

(17:16):
like they got their own stuff going on.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
And because we were trying to figure out, okay, we
can we can rip this pod on Friday. Jill's out
of town. How can we figure out how can we
help out? The boys shirm yes, so we can rip
this pod.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
And Jill was like, go the avenue of Hillary first
to see if she has availability before we reach out
to Jeremy and his wife because they already got their
kid no kids, Hillary registered nurse, very close friend of
ours or newfound friends three work that we are close with,

(17:49):
but newer friends and they have two kids. It was like, yep,
that's for sure the pecking order. Yeah, go this avenue first.
We're not going that avenue first. And so I felt bad.
I kind of said it to Jeremy like they weren't
an option. I would have felt bad if we came
to them first and then like hey, Yoki watch our
kids blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
But so what gets set Like there's also a thought too,
like it's a big no no to ask to ask
somebody that have that have more kids to watch your
kids watch, which I'm calling bs. That's that's new York
all over again. If you get offered and they're offering it,
like let's say you're not seeking them out. If they're

(18:29):
offering it, I think that is an option that's very
much on the table. Okay, I would sit here and
say I don't care what my wife says, but she obviously,
like we all know how New York went, Like, my
wife won that battle. We had to take kids home
at like two in the morning, and you apologize, You
called her and apologized. Yeah, I apologize because I was
saying as I was saying some very hurtful things that
night when I was sideways, remember when I was sideways.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
But I do like it's like if that is one thing,
it's like no, like.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
If they're offering that offer is a is a justified option,
Like they're giving you that opportunity, and to me, that's
an opportunity that if it is the only opportunity, you
take the opportunity.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
What we need to I need to be better at that.
You don't feel bad and you don't feel bad. I
need to get better at that, and Jill needs to
get better like us together, we need to not have guilt.
Like that's a very serious, like real take is like,
we do not need to have guilt for somebody to
watch our kids as much guilt.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
As well, I think we put on ourselves because I
think there's gonna be guilt no matter what. Yeah, there's
gonna be like damn you kind of like just letting
out the little kiddos.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Okay, you better be on your best folking gear, you understand, Yeah,
what the.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Fuck are gonna be? When Hillary came over, she legitimately
was so excited, and I was like, in a real
frantic not super frankid, but I was kind of moving around,
Do you have snacks, you need water, do you need anything?
Blah blah blah, trying to make sure everything was perfect
for her. And she was like, I mean, you just
gave me a Roku remote and the play pin's right here,

(20:01):
and here's a burp cloth. I'm good, Like go go
yeah stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, Like hey, Scar, are you sure you're good? You
can just all you gotta dude, really just look at
her for the next couple of.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Hours for real.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
She makes noise if she needs a burp or need
a feed feet her at this time, but then that
Saturday and you just look at her.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
You can look at her. You put her in the
plate thing, you can do the two she's loving the
two feet right now where you're just tuning her, you're
flipping her. Yeah, it's chef. I'm sorry you were you
were gonna say something.

Speaker 8 (20:29):
Oh, no, you're good.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
I was just saying shiming in.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Maybe it's like a good karma thing, like what goes
around comes around, So you need to pay it forward
if if you take that, if you're offered, and maybe
it's one of those things where it's kind of with
the knowledge of like hey, we owe you, we owe
you one, whatever that may be.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, you do that, you definitely you're in the camp. Hey,
we we'll get you on the back end. All I'm
saying is if I am telling you, hey, I'll watch
scar scar and even though I got two kiddos and
let's say I'm alone and I'm just like, hey, i'll
watch I'll watch Scarlett for you, and you'd be feeling bad.
I back, bro, she's three months old. Like, I'll be
able to handle it, and you trusted me to do it.
I'm saying, if I am offering you, like there should

(21:11):
be zero guilt, Like if I'm in the man, I
kind of don't want to watch her, then I wouldn't
you know that it was fair shooting offer at all.
But if I'm offering you, I'm thinking, bro, like your
boy can handle this. You either trust me or you don't.
I think you should maybe you don't. Would you trust me?

Speaker 3 (21:26):
A hundred d? And hey that was when I got
a pretty nice compliment this morning from Hillary. She was
like I just want be cause I was like running
through all this stuff with her and she was like, Hey,
I just want to let you know, working in a hospital,
I'm used to that to being like yeah, I don't
know their allergies, like go talk to mom, Yeah, go
talk to mom.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 8 (21:47):
So she was like.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
You're you're on it, like you everything seems great. Like
I was almost like performative to her when she like
showed up in a way of like and this is
right here, and this is right here.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
It's just let you know, just hand on the shoulder. Okay.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
So like first off, Sherman, we're in your house. Yeah, yeah,
you can do whatever the hell you want.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
I'm a nurse.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
I'm a nurse. I'm just gonna watch your kid, like
you don't have to prem anything. I'm sitting there like okay,
but everything's like it's all good. If you need it,
it's it's your here. But yeah, dude, huge weight off
my chest. When I walked out the front.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Door was good.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
I was like, oh dude, that felt good.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
But got to be home soon.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Got to be home.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Got to keep this one under an hour.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Got to keep it under an hour.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
You go ahead.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
I was just gonna say, and gotta kick ass, dude,
And I'm off to the hottest start ever. Knock on
wood Yeah, knock on wood by Sorry, off hot.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
You're gonna crush it. Thank you, You're gonna crush it.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Because when those conversations or questions was coming up, it's like, hey,
real opportunity here.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Of course I would trust you with Scarlett. I appreciate that.
Of course I would. I would rip bro. And that
was to the point that I was trying to make
earlier where Hillary paid that compliment was like most dads
you know don't even know what they're allergic to or
their social Security number. I'm like, I think of you
as a dad that's on it.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
I don't know their social Security numbers, but you've been
but I'm on it, beyond it. So I watched Time
Concern I be on You've seen a blowout or too. Yeah, yeah,
you got this easy money. Ru would crush it too.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Because because some of those you see, you know, your
boy's like holding your kid and it starts crying even
a little bit, and it's like almost an instant reaction
of yo yo yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Your anxiety will really build whenever, like say you and
Jill do a date night, or you're like letting the
babysitter do whatever with Scarlet. She's a little older to
where she's aware or has they'll have their own separation anxiety,
and it's kind of crippling.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
You kind of just feel bad leaving the house. First
time Charle and I left the house to go on
a date, and Rue was like aware that we were leaving,
and she was starting she was getting old, she was
getting at that age to where you know, she's like
reaching or crying and doesn't seem like they're gonna have
fun with the babysitter, and you kind of just feel
like you're leaving them there to get tortured. You're driving
away from the driveway just thinking in their mind, they're

(24:02):
probably they probably got like an animal brain they probably
think we don't We're not coming back like this is there.
It's the saddest thing in the world. You kind of
just don't know what you and your wife sitting there
and all you're doing is talking about the kid. To
get to dinner, and you have to like tell yourself like, hey,
we have to enjoy this meal. Yes, then you eat
kind of faster. Are we gonna get dessert? Oh wait,
we got to get home. We'll skip dessert. And you're
kind of just racing home. You just feel so bad

(24:23):
leaving them. That'll come to dude, that's guy that will hit.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yeah, and it Thankfully I didn't feed Scarlett. I gave
Hillary the bottle and I was like, I think this
will help in the long run if you actually kick
off this wild babysit two hour sash with like a
feeding with.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
A dub with the dub quick game quarterbacks, a little
nervous Yeah, Like, let's just get a quick one out there,
quick out, quick slant, something to the flats, maybe a screen.
Maybe let's just hand the ball off. Here's the ball,
it's a bottle.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Maybe you know block block bark, Oh yeahart you off
with a quick win, quick when and I was like,
Scarlett's going to be like, Oh that's formula lady that
fed me and now she's playing me. Te Swift. Hillary
kind of ribs, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, let's not
We got a lot of stuff to covert. We have

(25:14):
a lot of comments, and I do I was writing
down a lot of I was writing down a lot
of comments and more so just names to shout out
because last week's episode was obviously very emotional. At one
point when I was talking about when Garrett shot over
an awesome comment talking about how you listened to the voicemail,
it really struck your boy as empathizing with somebody who

(25:38):
lost their parent, understanding that their parent won't really get
to know your kid. It's just something my mom passing
away before was born, when Charli, my wife was pregnant,
really hit your boy hard. Ye kind of got off
the rails for a moment.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
It was an obvious emotional state that I needed to
live in lean into. I do appreciate you guys for
sitting with your boy during that during that moment, because
it was very awkward and different for me in that moment.
But all of the comments, all of the messages, everybody
that's been engaging, everybody that's been talking about how they

(26:13):
lost somebody close to them, they lost a parent, or
just putting their arm around me. In the comments section,
I shout out a lot of names. I'm gonna just
read a list because there were so many. I'm doing

Bro feel feel Willy C has never done this in
the history of Busting. After that episode, you took an
hour nap in the shop.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
An emotional nap, and I do.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
When I woke up, I appreciated that the doors were shut,
because they weren't at first. I kind of was sitting
there and I was like, I'm gonna watch forget what
it was either like it's Friday. It's on a Friday,
so it's either like make some posts or like watch
some film on the NFL, like watch the All twenty two,
like dive into some of that stuff.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
And I kind of just got to where I was.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
I was starting to be a sleepy boy, yeah, and
so I just kind of put the hat over the
face and the lazy boy that we got, and I
was just hopeful my hopefully guys don't come in and
like mess with me or do a joke or come
up and take a photo and post it.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Like I was like, I'm just gonna get a quick now,
I'm gonna get a nap.

Speaker 9 (32:32):
Hopefully, Derek and I Derek you saying, I was just
gonna say it was kind of like when Dad falls asleep.
And you're like, oh, we should change your hand on.
My Mom's like, don't mess with that. Like people were
like trying to go and we're like, don't go in
there yet. Like people are like, hey, is Will in there?
We're like, don't.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Don't open the door, Like, don't open the door the
boy a second.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yeah, And it was truly an hour nap. Like I
woke up the door. You guys had shut the doors.
It was me was who is one of the last
ones in here? Maybe clump, yeah, because most most everybody
was gone.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Ryan was here.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
I was kind of bum that I didn't get said
by to you guys. I did wake up.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
I was say, man, everybody, it was a much it
was a much needed nap. It was the week of
travel and everything else. And then that that emotion was
because we shaped out. I didn't watch that moment on YouTube.
I know when we got done, I was kind of
up in the air about cutting a lot of stuff
out because I was just I was feeling very awkward

(33:27):
and I hate the way my voice cracks and doing
no pod and then I was just kind of like, hey,
you guys, listen to it.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
I trust you guys.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Whatever you want to cut out if you think it's necessary,
if you feel like it'll be people you know connect
with it and it'll be helpful. You guys do your
thing with it. Yeah, but I know, how did you
did you edit out stuff?

Speaker 5 (33:48):
Oh? Yeah, uh yeah, I edited a decent bit, but
nothing like dialogue wise. I really think that there's maybe
like three or four words that cut, and that was
kind of like what you guys don't see is like
producer talk, where will I go like you might want
to cut this or something like. That's all that was,
But pretty much everything is said. I cap because I
thought it was really important. I thought that there was

(34:08):
like a lot that resonates with the people who watch this,
and I think it's important that they, you know.

Speaker 8 (34:16):
See that. And I did speak from my side. I
don't think it was awkward at all.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
I think you're having a moment that's universal and I'll,
you know, eventually pretty much everyone will understand.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
So yeah, yeah, for sure some one of those where
I'm like, I'm I'm driving afterwards or thinking about it afterwards,
and usually like when a moment like that's happening, not
say like I'm usually alone and I want to be
alone because I think like, Okay, I'm usually alone when
that happens, and it's like, oh, it's always good to
have somebody there with you.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Or whatever the case, like support system around.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
But usually, like as as anybody who has like a
tough moment like that, usually you feel much more comfortable
it's happening, whether it's in your car, at home alone,
whatever it is, and for it to be happening in
front of you guys when it's see the moment where
I had to kind of just sit this side and
I'm like, all right, this is I gotta basically I
have to have this moment.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
I can't like get out of this moment.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
And then to look up and see see.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
That you guys were, you know, being the way you were,
and thank you for being a good friend both all
you guys, All you guys much appreciate it.

tell you how much more excited you guys have made
us to become members of Empty six and PT six
one day. You have given all of us listeners a

(36:23):
refreshing and realistic perspective on parenting. I'm all in for
the rollercoaster of emotions I experienced listening to this show too,
laughing one minute and then crying the next. Real men
in parentheses and women cry and crying is totally cool.
Thank you so much for sharing your lives, your hearts

(36:44):
with us and making this podcast incredible.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
I love that comment. It is it's like when you're
sitting there, like what clips do I want to post?
It's like you got the emotional one. There's someone I've
seen in the comments that are alluding to this, like
the speech of the moment last week after you know,
my man got himself out of the trenches. And then
there's like I got the bane mask on you do

(37:10):
you think this bottle is your alle we lially crying
motivational speeches, like all right, how are we going to
approach this week on the internet.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
Yes, we have a clip that it took me a
day and a half to edit because it's a funny
part of the podcast. But my eyes look like I
just got pepper spray, so I had to add the
context of us reading sad comments at the beginning of it.
Then transitions to you, yeah, I'm out of underwear. I'm

(37:37):
wearing a European swimsuit. That's the joke. There you go,
and like my eyes just look awfully, But yeah, the

Thank you kJ. Another one or yeah, I got Katie
Katie Joson Hans. What a cool name. As a mom

proud of our last name. It was sad to think
my kids wouldn't have that as part of theirs. When
I got married, I moved my maiden name to my
middle name, and now I plan to give my kids
that name as their middle name too. That way we
can all say that we are a part of the
Cash family. You heard that right, from Katie Cash to

if I'm just absolutely is it Josen Hans Usually, however,
you say it's cool man, You'll send Hans.

some of the names Katie joson Hans. But yeah, Katie
Cash and Katie jos and Hans.

Cash clan. And I am so damn proud of that.

Gaming Riot one oh one says was up. I'm new
to the channel that I'm expecting my first child. He
is a boy and his name is River. I'm only
twenty one. Shout out River, Shout out River, and I'm
nervous about We have a great I am nervous about it,
but we have a great support system. I'd like to
hear from some of you guys, so sorry, let me

(40:57):
regrape here. I would like to hear some of your
guy's hardest and best moments about being a first time dad.
My name is Austin Witchmand. By the way, I'm in
Papa Team six officially.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Now what Smarcus of emotion for you?

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Hardest and best moments of being a first time dad?
I would say hardest moments is getting into the rhythm
of the infancy stage, like the newborn stage. That was
the hardest part for me. It was a definite learning curve.

(41:38):
But once I got it down, I got it down.
It's a lot of people talk about like skiing is
very hard to master, but it's like very easy to
pick up, whereas snowboarding is a little bit harder to
pick up but a lot easier to master. I feel
like bringing up a newborn is like snowboarding. It's kind

(42:00):
of hard to pick up, but once you get the
hang of it, you're you're gonna start ripping.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Good to go.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Yeah dude, I could not imagine being a father at
twenty one.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
Yeah dude. Well, I mean, like, well done to him
for being locked in at the age. The thought of
a twenty one year old Sherman being a dad is
a scary one.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
I know it's hard for a lot of young parents
that have kids that young. And whether it was planned
or unplanned, I think the most important thing that this
young man can do is accept whatever the reality is
of a situation. And I'm not saying it wasn't planned.
I'm not saying he didn't want this. I'm just almost
assumpting because he's twenty one, But accept.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Whatever reality you have, and dude, it's got.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
To be the number one priority in your life on
nailing down fatherhood.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
It just does.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
It does with all the And there's a there's honestly
a sick lesson that I came across, or sick like
philosophy that I think is going to be like a
new found thing like in my life and world.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
There's like a.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
North Star Mount rushmore philosophies that I'll hit later in
the episode. But man, write down what your priorities are,
what you want to be as a father. Write it
down and be as clear as possible. Who do I
want to be as a dad, especially as a young man. Bro,
because you're very young, I don't know everything you have

(43:28):
going on in your life. I'm sure you're trying to
balance what you want to do in this world. Well
kind of dad you want to be? And I would
say give yourself some grace and not feeling urgent and
rushed into figuring out whether it's career, school, whatever is
going on in your world. You're going to have a
lot of pressure and a lot of stress being a

(43:48):
young dad being at twenty one.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
But bro, get as clear as you possibly can.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
If this podcast is something you enjoy listening to and
feel like you get help from, stay glued to it
because you're there's gonna be a lot of trials and
tribulations in your relationship, in in fatherhood, in all of it.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
But yeah, I thought you had. I thought you had
great advice.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
It's like, man, it's gonna feel overwhelming with a newborn,
your first one.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Once you get it down, you're gonna get it down.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
But make sure you keep your the main thing, the
main thing when it comes to fatherhood, bro, and prioritize.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
It because it's it's it's it's difficult.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
And I'm speaking as somebody who is a dad at
RHO is three, So thirty three, thirty four years old, yeah,
thirty two for myself, yeah yeah, so I feel like
it was helpful for me. I guess like later to
become a dad. I truly I couldn't imagine. But Dude,
if I give you advice, it's it's the same kind

(44:47):
of things that we talk about. I say to myself
out all the time, like nobody's coming to save you.
Focus be as clear as you possibly can, and stay
glued to whatever that clearity is, whatever you have written down,
stay glued to it, because that's what you're gonna need
to look at and lean on and constantly think about
the self talk all the time with all the pressure
that you'll have in this world.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
But good on you for right in. I appreciate you
right in, bro, Yes, appreciate you right now.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
Thank you for writing in. And if it is one
of those situations where you are trying to do school,
balance that. There was a guy that I went to
Baylor with shout out Jimmy, that he had an accident
child or a surprise child his senior year of high
school and he absolutely rinted as a dad and was

(45:34):
a full on college student, like living on campus, co
parenting with mom. They were I mean, it was like
truly something special to get to watch. It's really cool
when like people are kind of thrust into responsibility and
how they can handle that. Yeah, because twenty one year

(45:56):
old Sherman that was shirtless with a Pikachu mask on
during on a reof top was not ready to be
a dad at twenty one. But Jimmy absolutely mastered it,
handled it. And I still follow him on Instagram. I
see pictures of him and his little girl and he rips.
He's an awesome dad.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
I have an email here from Zach Zeke Zach Zigzag,
Hey boys, big fans of the podcast. Love listening to
you guys. Every week. We are gonna call this shitty.
We're gonna call this a shitty situation story. I have
two boys aged one and two, two hundred two boys who.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
But how you know? Rude soccer?

Speaker 3 (46:35):
Each week, bro, please keep on taking more and more
videos of Oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
I posted on my story like all the boy like
being boys and Rus just locked in foot on the ball.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
She's in a ready.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
Position staring the coach down.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Bro. The boys, man are just different animals. That's why
I sit there on my girls.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Yeah. Girls run the world. Yeah, like these boys are idiots.
I don't think it good on. We gotta find the
killer instinct a little bit.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Yeah yeah yeah, but I'm sitting back there like a
proud pappy just and just watching these boys like wrestle,
pick up the ball, like do all the things get
upset at each other?

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Like boys? They just feel like a different animal.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
It was last year on a Saturday I believe Nebraska
was playing Ohio State that week. Both the boys are
already down for their morning nap. Huskers are on. Life
is good, right, Boy?

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Was I wrong?

Speaker 1 (47:23):
The boys started waking up from their nap right around
the two minute warning.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
I told the wife and.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
This is this is when we had little hole state
on their heels. The Huskers had a hot state on
their heels. At was it at Columbus?

Speaker 3 (47:36):
It was? It was pre Holgerson. Imagine if we get
out that one.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
I told the wife I would go get them. At halftime.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
I walk into the room and the stench that hit
my nose quite literally knocked my dick in the dirt.
It was the worst smelling shit I have smelt in
my life. I thought that was the end of the
shitty situation. But once I regained consciousness, I look up
and see they both smeared their diarrhea diapers over all
over everything, the wall, the crib, the sheets, anything you

(48:07):
could think of, there was shit on it. They were
also covered in ship head to toe. I was deep
in the trenches. That was just a little story from
a family that has two boys. We're adding a little
girl here at the end of October go Big Red,
Love you guys.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Sent from my iPhone. The little from out.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
The front of the bottom was actually.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
They got the little tag at the bottom, go Big
Red having a little spook tober girl at the end
at the end of the month.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
Congratulations to you. That's a good laugh.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
Hey good. Good for him and Iowa fans refraining from
any nasty comments of leave it to some huskers to
rub poopball over them.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
Yeah, leaves to let it get out of hand in
such a situ in such a way that there's ship
all over the place like that.

Speaker 8 (48:55):
To me is.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
That's code of red. That's get the boys.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Get the boys out, except that you're about to smell
and be shitty, or take him outside, get the hose,
get the hose, water him down, and say to yourself,
this is worse than the time the raccoons got stuck
in the copier. Yeah, chuckle about the Anchorman old Anchorman movie,
and pray to god, wife's up there, clean up the room.
I know, I wouldn't want to clean the room.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
Oh, they had sex fanther in the room. Yes, that's
essentially what was going on. Yeah, damn, hey good. What
was his name again? Zach zach Zig zach Ze, thank
you for that email. That was hilarious, Vincent. Vincent writes
in on YouTube. He says, seeing the end of the
road in sight. Wife is thirty seven weeks pregnant with

(49:43):
our first and it's a baby boy, and we're getting
induced in three days. Everything is finally starting to kick in.
All the feelings, emotions and thoughts are running through my
mind faster than I can understand. So many worries I
keep thinking about. But I know I've got this podc
as to watch every Wednesday, and you boys have got
me ready to tackle anything coming my way. Appreciate what

(50:06):
you guys are doing. Shout out the boy, man, Shout
out the boy. Thank you for the comment that gets
me so dead, like somebody's going into something with confidence.
Because I will say this week, like this weekend, I
would not be going into it with the confidence I
have if it wasn't for this show. And I mean
that I to man. So I'm feeling with Vincent's feeling.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
This was from Waylon Ransom. This is this comes from
the social media platform x ah.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Nice gentlemen. I've been given the honor and.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
Privileged to coach my daughter's fourth grade powder puff flag
football team. What an honor. We will be playing the
third grade squad. It's eight v eight. This is my
coaching debut. Any advice for coaching or pregame speech advice
would be appreciated.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
This game will be.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
October twelfth, around three pm. I can update y'all after
the huge win. What's the date right now? It's a
third so he'll get to listen to this before before
the game kicks off.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
This is this is a deep water conversation. This is
a deep water spid.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
Are they the underdogs in this?

Speaker 1 (51:14):
This is a fourth grade team, they're playing the third grade.
They're playing the third grade team. So this should be bullied.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
This should be bullyball.

Speaker 8 (51:21):
Bully ball, establish the run.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Yeah, there you yet.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
I didn't know if you had anything else.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
You started just let's first drive, just power gap scheme
the whole time. Does this third three get a year
advantage on them?

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Do you think this third grade team understands what it's
like when fourth graders put their paws on them? This
is a deep water situation. We're gonna take this team.
We're gonna run the football. I don't know if you
can blitz I doubt you can blitz. However, Reroute, get
your hand on these little fucking third graders, because what
we're gonna do in this ball game is we're gonna
take them one foot at a time in the deeper

(52:02):
and deeper water until we can hold them underwater and
the bubbles stop. That's the kind of game we're about
to have. And if you have any doubt in your mind,
go sit with your parents. I don't know if that's
you know, you got to make sure you're the only
adult in the room telling them this kind of speech,
because we're talking about like hold third graders underwater, which,
by the way, this is also fun humorous podcast for

(52:23):
any you know, Karen, somebody be sitting there like, oh shit,
why is he saying that? Now, this is the kind
of football game. We're trying to win a football game.
We're trying to motivate however we can. I do have
some there you go, Shuham, he's getting ready for this
football game right now.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
I do have some as somebody who like when I
was in high.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
School, it was my junior year all state wide receiver,
you know, safety from Notre Dame.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
Yeah, something like that.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
That's not what we're talking about in my free time
after practice. High school, I coached. I was a head
coach of a fourth grade team tackle football. I was
a head coach, which I go to the RGFL fields.
We practiced twice a week. Did we go undefeated or
did we go five and one? We might have lost

(53:08):
the game. We might have lost the game. But having
experience in this mode you have there's some plays out
there to be made. If you can get these fourth
graders understanding some jet sweep handing the ball, getting to
the edge, because I'm telling you these third graders, their
eyes are gonna be in the backfield if you can
hit the perimeter with.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Some jet sweeps. And I'm talking.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
I made a halftime adjustment that I still think about
to this day because I would get in a power
eye for me because you're not throwing the ball very
much in fourth grade.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
You're not You're not throwing the ball.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
You might like lob one up if you catch them,
you get the tight end down the seam, but you're
playing power football. This is man on man. Like they
got it. They're gonna feel you. I would get in
a power eye and I'll be running, you know. Twenty
six power I'll be doing, you know, sweeps, everything else.
And I realize as I'm sitting back there as the
head man in the OC watching the defense perform, their

(54:03):
eyes are in the backfield. They're gonna go with whatever
way the flow feels. They're gonna over pursue, right, especially
when they're getting gashed up the middle or getting gashed
on the perimeter. The coordinator, the defensive coordinator in the
back is gonna be telling his second level, his backers,
I gotta see you take off once you see this happen,
that's where the ball's going.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
That's where you gotta go.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
I would get in the power rider where you line
up three running backs right, And what I halftime adjustment
I made is we be hitting the twenty eight sweeps
on them, twenty seven sweeps on them to where you
get the second level over pursuing. And what I ended
the adjustment, I ended up making, Hey, I want a
full twenty eight sweep. That's the optics I want. Everybody else,

(54:44):
you're twenty eight sweep. I told the quarterback and the
running back, here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna jab
step like it's twenty eight and you're gonna go the
back side and at the seven hole, and you're gonna
be running scott free.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
That's called a counter, baby, Yeah, that's called a counter. However,
this is no.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
The only one that needs counter footwork is the running
back and the the quarterback who knows he's faking it
this way and then dishing it out to him on
the left and he gone, yeah, he going, I don't
need you by pulling backside, this is gonna be wide open.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
So one jab step.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
Once you get him over pursuing in the first half,
you come back in the second half they over pursue.
Boom foot in the ground. You're out the back door
the other way. Yep, eighty eight out the gate. And
we're talking.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
This is girls flag football, correct, this powder puff? Okay,
shirts need to be tucked in. No ponies, You need
French braids. Ponies are gonna come loose. Hair's gonna get
in the face. All the girls need to show up
in French braids. Yeah, no ponies, and get the eye black.
Get the eye black out.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
If you don't want to use the deep water analogy,
this is the eye black game.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
This is the eye black game. But hey, make it
fun for him. Because the little ones, when they're having fun,
that's that's when the magic happens. So keep it fun,
keep it light. But we also need to end some
lives tonight.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
And you know what's fun, sure, winning, winning, imposing your will. Hey,
I'm seeing the other team not have fun anymore.

Speaker 3 (56:03):
I met this guy the other day. He was having
so much fun. Guess what he wasn't a loser. You
ever met a loser having a lot of fun? Will?

Speaker 2 (56:11):
No? I haven't.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
Hey, I will say this to you. Get a running
back that is the shortest girl on your team, because
there is something very strange with flag football with the
younger generation of leaning down and pulling a flag. Doesn't
matter if she has a whole lot of speed. If
she's down low and people are having to reach down
for her flags, they will miss her.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
Because at that age they're not as good as dropping
their hips to balance.

Speaker 5 (56:34):
No.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
And so if you have a back with a low
center of gravity, even if it's not the shiftiest person
on your team but has some good speed, tote the rock.
Tote the rock. Tote the rock.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Yeah, you need to go into that game, and before
you walk on the field, you need to know that
your team. There is no smiling happening. No, it's a
focused bunch. This is hey, we drop this game right here.
There are no snow cones postgame.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
Yeah. And if hey, and if anybody's giggling back of
the line, back of the line, you see another one
giggling back of the line. Because the third graders all
they need to see is the mean mugs of the
fourth graders, because there will be some giggling. Let's not
fool ourselves. These are fourth grade girls. There's gonna be
some giggling. Hey, girls, get out there, mean mugget ball.

(57:21):
There's gonna be some good back of the line.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
Yeah you're not.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
You're not leading this team out. You're gonna be giggling.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
Yeah, i'd stop practice.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
Oh yeah, dude, you're running labs.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
We wouldn't run laps, but I beg Do you want
to tell everybody else to joke? Because we're trying to
run a twenty six counter right now and your footwork
is awful?

Speaker 3 (57:39):
Hey, Will's got something funny for everybody? Will? What do
you got? It looks funny when you're telling Johnny.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Oh, you're done telling the joke, all right? Can we
get back to work?

Speaker 3 (57:50):
And walk out the scrilla obviously the kids bop kids,
Bob scrill.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you for shooting us that comment. Whalen,
we are excited to hear football game?

Speaker 3 (58:00):
Went where is it being played?

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Does not say, However, it's on October twelfth around three pm.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
Oh okay, I was gonna say, I'm free the twelfth.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
So if you want to make a halftime adjustment or
you hit a jet sweep on the perimeter, I do
expect a phone.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
I expect the video.

Speaker 3 (58:18):
Yeah, we gotta have video and the walkout to the kids, bobscrilla.
That would go hard.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
Sorry, I'm thinking ball right now.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
I'm thinking how I can you know it's eight v
eight so you're not gonna have you can stack your
line of scrimmage. You get a jet sweep person going.
You gotta see what the defense is doing on the
jet sweep because let's just say you're jetting to the right.
Yeah even numbers, that's the right side. Yeah, say you're
jetting to the right, but you're running a twenty seven,

(58:49):
a twenty five, you're running something to the left side.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
You want to see what the second level is doing.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
Are they pursuing the jet sweep or are they moving
with the line of scrimmage in the backfield? That right
there is going to tell you how you can open
them up game.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
The only thing I'm worried about is that corner that
she the third grade corner. She's out there. She hasn't
been paying attention all game. She's sleeping, she's picking flowers,
she's doing whatever.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
Yeah, but that that right there is you got a challenge.
You're tight end or your tackle. You win on the
first step because I need you to capture that outside arm.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:23):
Yeah, at the playground rocking with my classmates. But yeah,
lesson less know how it goes.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
You get in some dad wins and losses. Yes, eleven
forty eight right now. Got to keep it under an out.
I got to keep it under it out. I have
a dad loss. I need you to say it because
what's going on. I'm trying hard to find it that long.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
Oh okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
You had a good you had a good week. It
just I feel like we're we my wife and I
like we're very busy. Yeah, we're dialed. Yeah, and against
more of like not necessarily dead losses.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
It's just you know, when my wife's got to run
double duty.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
Yeah, y'all are filling a lot of gaps, so like
if there are any misses, it's like, hey, yea, they're
filling gaps, so like I'm you know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
It's yeah, it's more just about the support I can
provide around, like provide for Charrow, around Charrow, intentional time
for us. One thing that we are doing, staycation tonight.
It's Friday night. Oh, Mom and Daddy got a staycation.
We're downtown Nashville. Four seasons, four seasons. Yeah, Ao, we

(01:00:41):
got a little spa set up. Massages happening around four
thirty today, Little dinner reservation, keep it under an hour,
mill of the afternoon, go early, check in, rest of
the day together, Tomorrow morning.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
Together, servant. What's you getting for dinner at Shockway? Alright
in I was gonna make a joke on steak preparation,
but it didn't feel right, did not feel right. But yeah,

(01:01:19):
I'm very fired up about that. That's all.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
Very fired up.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
Y'all deserve that. Y'all both been going and blowing and
I feel like Jill same, come on, come on, but
I feel you going and blowing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
Five seconds later.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
Yeah, you know, repetition, sweet are you I'm not as
good as I once was.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
Maybe next time we can like go on an actual vacation.
This is the same thing we already did. We should
catch up on some sleep, right, a big day tomorrow, Husks,
What was I even gonna say? Oh, dad loss?

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
It uh, that fires me up that you don't really
have a dad loss. I don't really have a dad
loss either, except for last night. I told you the
report card was out. The last two weeks, Jill's been
grading me strict because she's about to go out of town.
And I fowed up last night and I fed Scarlett
thirty minutes earlier than what she actually feeds at which

(01:02:26):
then turned into a conversation of do you even know
our daughter's schedule? What are we doing? Sherman? She never
takes her basket at six thirty? Why are you taking Why?
Why did you put her in a bath at six thirty?
She has a bottle in her mouth before seven. She's
not even in bed till seven thirty. This is gonna
mess up the whole sleep schedule. And I'm like, honey,
it's fine, it's gonna be great. Blah blah blah. Last

(01:02:48):
night was miserable. Scarlet slept terrible. Jill was right. We
got her off her schedule and she had a terrible
night's sleep, but Jill did before she leaves before she
but Jill did apologize to me. She was like, hey,
I came down on you too hard.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
It's not lack of effort, thank you. It's not lack
of vester.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
She was like, I know where your head was at
because she told me before she was going to go
get her nails done all that stuff for the Bacherette party.
And she was like, hey, she cannot fall asleep right
before bedtime or she won't go to bed. And so
I'm playing with her. I'm keeping her awake. She's starting
to doze off, and I'm like, oh, well, she loves
like when I change her, So I go to go

(01:03:32):
change her because I'll keep her awake. And now I'm like, oh, well,
you know already got her naked. Let's do bathtime because
it's probably close to the battime right now. Didn't check
my phone, put her in the back. I was in
the right headspace, but it just it didn't translate.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
Well, just for the just for the moms out there,
you can you can coach technique. You can't coach effort
if your man's got the effort going. Like if you
were thirty minutes late. To me, that's a that's more
of a hammer down. Yeah, conversation. Yeah, we're thirty minutes early.
Let's coach the technique. Yeah, let's understand that you are

(01:04:07):
playing fast, and you're playing with a lot of effort,
you care, and you're on it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
It a little early and you should have seen me
doing bad time.

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
Dude, I like truly was operating for anybody that's never
given a newborn a bath. I mean, it's like, you
gotta have one hand on the towel because you can't
do two hands on the baby and then be reaching
for the towel because they're wet and slippery and they're
gonna get cold and they're gonna start crying, so you
gotta have the towel quick.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
What's operating?

Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
Yeah, I kind of crushed it, except for the fact
that I did everything like forty five to thirty minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Do you were so prepared? You just you guessed a
little bit before the play started.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
Yeah, dude, And coach came back around, like Jill came
back around and totally was like she really did.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
But she was like, hey, right here, use your eyes. Yeah,
the entire formation.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
All it's all good. The lines move in that way.
Your eyes are on the back. Yeah, case of the counter.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Yeah, you took what we did in individual period and
you are applying it. I'm not trying to slow you down.
Keep playing with that much effort. It's showing up every week,
your preparation, the speed you're playing at. Let's widen the
vision a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
Yeah, that's it because because the game made like the
individual drills, anything can happen.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
Yeah, but that was.

Speaker 3 (01:05:22):
My dad loss. It wasn't that big of a dablo,
not that bad. We're kind of operating, but that doesn't
mean we're kind of due for a big one this
week for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
I meant for you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:36):
I know you meant for me, I said, but I
was due for Dad loss, and you said this weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
I thought you meant a big one, like big win,
like I saw it as minor setback, major comeboun Okay, Okay, okay,
that I fully Yeah death, I'll be I'll be tapping
in it. I'll be tapping in each day. Yeah, tapping, tapping,
I'll tapping because I'm I'll need it. That scared me
for a second. I was like, by the way, spootober,

(01:06:04):
you know one of the rules embracing the spook. Yeah,
once a weekend. Yeah, we will be going to a

for the Dads. Let's get back to this episode. Uh
my crack a cold one. This week is going to
go to our sitter taught rule a little game. But
it's like a like a gratitude game. It's called rosen Thorn,

(01:09:07):
Like what was your rose of the day? What was
your thorn of the day? Oh so your rose of
the day is like something you were grateful for, something
you had fun with, something that made.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
You really happy.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
Your thorn thorn of the day is something that that
potentially bothered you or something that made you upset. I
thought it was a really good way. Like Ruth's bringing
this game up to me. She's like, that day, let's
play rosen Thorn, roseen Thorn. I'm like, all right, well,
what's rosen Thorn?

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
What I missed? I was going for twenty four hours?

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Yeah, but she starts naming her rosen Thorne to where
I'm getting what she's I'm understanding what she's saying.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
She's rattling off an entire list for her rose.

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
Like playing with dad Dad, like Scottie making her laugh,
like getting to play with mama, seeing mom in the morning,
things that she might have done at school m uh
like students that made her laugh, or getting to play
a game outside for She's like ratt on.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
Off a list.

Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
Yeah, her thorn was mama not getting to see her play.
Oh what about that that didn't get to be at
school either? That again, get see me play either? All right,
all right, I needed that one thorn. I get that. Yeah, Scotty,
Like if Ruth's playing and Scotty goes and like, you know,
just being scott Zilla, like we will be trying to
build this little foam robot where like magnetizes and Scotty

(01:10:31):
comes over and she just, you know, and she just
starts like screaming. Rue starts screaming, and Scotty just got
a smile and like grabbing at the phone. Robot, come
play over here, like play over in this spot, Scotti here.
Try to give her the remote so Scotty's occupied, so
roo can build this robot. Yeah, and then then you'll

(01:10:53):
hear you should drop the robot lean and get on
the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
And then you hear it's ma Scotty. I'll make Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
And then when I'm like yelling like that Scotty, Scotty know,
and Ruth just gets in like she just got through
into the ocean type of scream like a horror movie's happening.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Because Scotty's getting close to her.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
I kind of I can't help as I'm going over
there like laughing, and sweetheart, Scotty's just she thinks she's
just playing with you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
She doesn't know. She's kind of like waffle.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
She doesn't know what's going on right now. But uh,
rosen Thorne is a cracker cole one I really like
because it also gets rude talking about what upset her
in the day so we can talk through that. Talks
about what she's grateful for, which I love. And then
another cracker call one is just Embracing the Spook. Rue
went to Charlie took Rue. They went to the library
yesterday and Rue came home with the book Wicked. Oh

(01:11:45):
Richy's so excited to show me, like, you know, for
like Halloween and everything else. Yes, so embracing the Spook.
When your kiddo's embrace the Spook. Those are my crack
of cold ones.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
Is that Wicked like the musical? I believe?

Speaker 4 (01:11:59):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
I think it's like Wizard of Oz.

Speaker 8 (01:12:02):
I'll be fully.

Speaker 5 (01:12:03):
I got dragged there when it released in theaters by
the girlfriend.

Speaker 8 (01:12:06):
It was fucking awesome. That's that's one that I will.
I put hands out.

Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
We were walking out of there and go, she goes,
that was incredible, and I go, that was incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
I forgot.

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
You know, Shuram was a jack chef.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
He was like, why are we going to this dude,
fucking musical musical?

Speaker 3 (01:12:25):
We were named off we were naming off movies over there.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
That is where my desk is.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
He I do, sit right next to you, Sherman. But
we were naming off all these movies. It's like La confidential. Uh,
just like all these like dude films. And then Chef's like, hey,
I'm not gonna lie. It's same story he just told
and I'm behind my computer started laughing so hard. But
I was like, Wicked was good.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Yeah, it was good.

Speaker 8 (01:13:05):
I gotta give it. I gotta give the nod.

Speaker 5 (01:13:07):
We were talking about how like maybe it was Crazy
Rich Asians, which is another one that like date in
their right mind, you're going to theater. You're not thinking,
let's go watch Crazy Rich Asians, but then you go
watching You're fuck incredible, incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
But I still need to get on that too. You

Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
Wouldn't be It wouldn't be perfect. Has Jill seen it?

Speaker 4 (01:13:30):

Speaker 3 (01:13:52):
And we need a good movie night. We've been looking
for a good show and slash good movie. The other
thing I gonna bring, oh bonus krackical one for me.
Jill is really embracing Spooktober with our daughter, and it's
kind of sick to see like she has. It's not
a webinga, but it's kind of like a webbingu, but
instead of a passy attached to it, it's a blanky

(01:14:13):
attached to it. I don't know the name of it. Yeah,
but Jill got one with a ghost ye little ghosty.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:14:21):
And then she dressed up Scarlett for October first, for
the kickoff of Spooktober, and she had what they are
now calling a boo basket. So it's like an Easter basket,
but for little babies on Halloween, you get them their
little boo basket.

Speaker 1 (01:14:39):
Bro, there's nothing that gets the parents because you know,
you get in this lull of Halloween right like you
grow up loving Halloween. Did you get to do the costume? Yeah,
you dress up. You have a stint in college and
stuff where you're younger where you enjoy Halloween because the
party scene and everything else.

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
The women.

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
Then you get like, you know, like the young adulthood
where it's like a Halloween, like it's another holiday. But
then you have kids, brom and holiday or Halloween juices
you out because you get to get them in these
cute outfits. You're embracing the theme of the month because
or Halloween's right around the corner.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
Some great shows and movies out there too. By the way,
since we're on, since we're talking about please Halloween, and
I will say are my survival kit this week is
just Spootober merch and one get the Four the Dads
BWTV dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
I love that true Poetobra Merch.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
I do love that shirt.

Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
BWTV dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:15:36):
We do have a lot of other like if you're
a fan of Busting with the Boys, or you don't
have kids and you're looking for Spootober merch or things
to kind of uh to embrace Spootober with us. We
do have a lot of cool Spooktober merch on the
site bwtv dot com. Surem's holding it up right now.
You've got Spootober. You got nothing, just chilling killing. We
have another cool uh Spootober shirt on there, but you
can go there and get that. That could be that's
a survival kit. But since we're on the theme of Spootober,

(01:16:01):
I do have a list. I have a list because again,
a rule of Spootober is embracing the spook once a
weekend by going to something in uh being being festive,
say a pumpkin patch, a hay ride, whether it's.

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
What I'm drawing a blink right now, like.

Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
A Jill and I went to a wildflower picking farm
that had like pumpkins and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:16:24):
Get outside, get.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
Around some pumpkins, get around the theme of spoopt Obra,
haunted house, whatever it is. You're doing something to embrace
the spook outside for sure. Another rule is watching a
Halloween themed show or movie per day. And you can
either have it on and it can be quick hitters,
it can be you have it on for ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
Whatever it is.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
You're just you're you're bringing the spook alive. Yeah yeah, uh.
And when you have kids, you got to get creative,
because not everything can be horror movie number one of
my wife She's got you know, if things get too stressful,
like we can't do it over No, I personally can't
do it over and overall. I call the scary, gory, ghosts,
paranormal activity.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
Stuff every day.

Speaker 1 (01:16:58):
Yeah, but I've enjoyed getting to relive some nostalgic things
that grew up on because now we have kids and
now it's like, okay, if I'm gonna embrace the spook,
I want to have find some movies and some shows

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
Yeah, yes, same bro. I got roue on Halloween Town
last year when she was two. Halloween Town is that's
that's a fun one.

Speaker 3 (01:20:22):
The Phantom at the Multiplex or whatever it's called.

Speaker 5 (01:20:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
Yeah, those cheesy, cheesy horror movies, and they're so good.

Speaker 1 (01:20:31):
The Phantom and the skeleton would kind of spook a
little bit and you kind of talk her off the ledge.
They're they're good, They're you know, it's going to turn around.
It's going to turn around. The Worst Witch, Curious Georgia, Halloween, Boofest,
Mickey Mouse's of Villains, and Mickey mouse Mickey's Monster Musical.

Speaker 2 (01:20:47):
Those are good.

Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
Those are Disney Junior Room on the Broom, a twenty
twenty animated short, very sweet for younger kids. But those
are some movies and shows for various a just to
embrace Ootober.

Speaker 3 (01:21:02):
Those are some great recommendations I would also throw out
for the older kid crowd. Goonies. It's not a true
Halloween movie, but it does take place in the fall.
There are skeletons in it. It's just a great adventure flick,
great adventure flick.

Speaker 9 (01:21:17):
I would be remiss and everybody in my life would
come me fraud if I didn't bring up QB Halloween
Adam Sandler.

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
It's on Netflix.

Speaker 9 (01:21:25):
I have watched that movie probably over a thousand times
on watch every day in October so far already this month.

Speaker 3 (01:21:30):
Yes, my favorite movie. You were watching it. It was
on your story.

Speaker 9 (01:21:33):
I always tag the same group of guys from my
like like our old days, just and they get so
angry about it. I watch it probably once a month
throughout the year. I think it's it's such a stupid movie.

Speaker 3 (01:21:43):
It's my favorite movie. I did enjoy Hubie. I did
enjoy Hube Halloween.

Speaker 9 (01:21:49):
It's so hard to make a Halloween movie that hits
like Halloween Town and hocus Pocus, Like it's a hard
holiday to get into without it being hory, gory or
kind of campy.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
And I thought it did well. It did do well
and it and it did have a lot of callback.
If you're a big Adam Sandler fan, there are of
all of his movies that one has like the most
callbacks that I thought were actually done well. And we're
like tasteful with like the sheet in the front yard,
like Callback the water Boy. Yeah yeah, I like hub Halloween.

(01:22:20):
The The other one, dude, I have to bring up
with Casper is that priest that shows up when they're
doing the Exorcism of the House and he's got like
the flat brim hat and he's got the sick. They're like, wait,
you're a priest. He's like, yeah, I'm a priest, I said.
They're like, you think you can do this. He's like,
it'll be cake, It'll be crumb cake. I got it.

(01:22:41):
And then he just comes back with his head completely Yeah. Yeah,
oh my god, dude, Casper is such a good.

Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
Meeting, good one. That's a good throwback. That's that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:22:52):
There's a rollodex, a lot of family a lot of
family friendly shows and movies. Add them to the survival kit.
Embracing October, Embracing Speotober. I can't wait to get dialed
in on a movie.

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
Honestly, tonight, I wish I had a list more like
down the avenue of this weekend. The crack of cold
one was just basically me being able to talk my
wife into no babysitters, no night nurses.

Speaker 2 (01:23:23):
I got this.

Speaker 3 (01:23:24):
That is my crack of cool one. It's just Jill
trusting me and being like, hey, you got this, and bonus,
this is breaking because it happened this morning when Hillary
showed up. Because Hillary is my best friend from high
school's wife, Like she is just as much Jill's friend
as she is my friend, if that makes sense, whereas Brian,

(01:23:45):
her husband, would very much be like closer to me. Yeah, however,
Hillary shows up, I'm kind of giving her the rundown
of the house. And then I think to myself, Jill's
probably already calder and like gave her a full rundown,
like I need to chill out, and I go I'm
sure Jill's already called you and blah blah, and she goes, no,
she didn't call me.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
And I was like like, that's dumb.

Speaker 3 (01:24:10):
That's a dumb I was like, dude, that's cool. That
means like Jill was pending that responsibility in my court
to be like sherman can prep pillary, he's got it.
I was like, hey, you can leave some zipaw bags
with clothes in it, but like the fact you didn't
game prep pillary before she came over cheers, do you thank.

Speaker 2 (01:24:29):
You, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
Wife didn't wife didn't call the friend.

Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
Before she came over to the house.

Speaker 3 (01:24:33):
It was kind of sick.

Speaker 2 (01:24:34):
Yeah, dad hacks, Dad hacks.

Speaker 3 (01:24:38):
Oh, I do have a what are the odds?

Speaker 8 (01:24:40):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (01:24:41):
Tyler Schiller wrote in the water the odds shout out
fanduled this week is we were talking about writing in journals.
Tyler has been writing in a journal to his daughter.
I just wanted to read a little bit about that
Tyler Schiller here out of that rougely you know, and
he literally wrote, I said go tigers to be funny.

(01:25:04):
He actually wrote go tigers, abu.

Speaker 1 (01:25:06):
I'm impressed he understands how to write down there in
baton rouge lady, and.

Speaker 3 (01:25:09):
Well he spelled at geaux, which they say is the
correct tigers go dogger. Great pod this week had to
do the email because I don't have Instagram or Twitter.
I'm a proud member of PT Sichos with the thirteen
month old boy. He's been the best thing that's ever
happened to me and my wife in a mentor of mine,
gave me some good advice when he was born. Y'all

(01:25:32):
touched up on it this episode, so figured i'd share.
He said, keep a journal and write to him whenever
something you want to remember for him happens. I address
each journal entry to Shepherd, our son's name with the date.
I'll tell him about the day, or what he did
that was hilarious, or something we are proud of, and

(01:25:52):
just write till I feel like stopping. For example, the
most recent one was him stealing all the cookies during
naptime at daycare while everybody else was sleeping, and eating
every single one. That earned him the nickname cookie Monster.
Memories like that is what I write about. Adaptive to
make it easier to remember to write it in is
to keep the journal right next to your bed, on

(01:26:13):
your night's sand It's as much for us as it
is for him to look back on when he's older. Anyway,
feel free to share this or not up to y'all.
We just did. Just wanted to pass it along that
it is something I've really enjoyed doing, and I recommend
it to any of my friends who are expecting God
bless looking forward to the next pod. Take the trash

(01:26:34):
out send by my iPhone.

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
Love that that is awesome. What's the what are the odds?

Speaker 3 (01:26:41):
What are the odds is he was doing it before
we even brought it up on the show. That's crazy.
What are the odds of that?

Speaker 2 (01:26:48):
Yeah, what are the odds of that? I don't know
what those odds are. Shut Out, shut outvandul. Come on,
let's do fifty.

Speaker 3 (01:26:53):
Plus do fifty.

Speaker 1 (01:26:56):
Survival kid, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well my SUPERVIOV kid was
Pootober Mergers.

Speaker 3 (01:27:01):
That's right, all the shows and movies. I have a
good survival kid. A playpin. We have a playpin for
Scarlet now in the living room, and it's like fully
fenced off. Jill, I believe bought it at Target. This
is not like some crazy brand. It's affordable. It's pretty big,

(01:27:23):
I would say, like the size of like an area rug.
In Scarlet, she loved playing in her nursery. But in
that playpin, dude, I don't know what it is, but
it's like she knows that that's like her little world.
And we have like different play mats like laid out
in there. We have like a little tint playing that.
We got her little unicorns and butterflies hanging from stuff,

(01:27:46):
and I set her down. This morning, I was in
the kitchen making breakfast, moving operating, cleaning, bottles making bottles.
I did not have to touch her a single time
for like thirty minutes. She just that in there and
was like, ah, it was awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
Highly advised, highly advised.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
I want to get a playpin. Wife won't let me
get one.

Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
Oh really, just because there's a lot of stuff in
the house and she just you know, y'all's living love.

Speaker 2 (01:28:14):
I grew up on the road, grass bro, they had
the playpin.

Speaker 3 (01:28:16):
Yes, dude, y'all's living room is very similar to ours. Yeah,
we had like we don't have the coffee table in
there anymore. We had to move all of our furniture out,
like it. It has taken over our living room right
right to Toro's point, Like, I get that because.

Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
That's why I got a barricade ship up dude.

Speaker 3 (01:28:34):
Yeah, dude, you could get one up in the upstairs.

Speaker 1 (01:28:39):
Yeah, but you know we got that, like uh my
brother God bless him, love the gift. Rude loved it.
But the little ball pit, but the balls get everywhere.
So we we got enough stuff up there. Yea.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
So it's like we got those those cushions.

Speaker 1 (01:28:52):
It's like they're like cushions, but you can like build
forts and stuff with these cushions.

Speaker 3 (01:28:57):
Those are the ones that Reve's always jumping on, right.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Yeah, she's small.

Speaker 1 (01:29:00):
When she's small enough, she thinks it's a slide or
supposed to be putting the slide for him. But yeah,
she's like jumping all around on it. We got the
bean bag up there. We got a lot of like
the Monassory toys, and she's got like the work bench,
like she's got a lot of stuff up there. Yeah,
like she's got the thing that we bought. It's like
a it's like a tent set, but you can build
it into a lot of different things. Like you can

(01:29:20):
build into like a puppet show. You can build it
into like a restaurant. You can build it into just
like a tent, like a long little tent thing. Sounds sick. Yeah,
it's fun and we you know, we have we have
enough stuff to war. When you're up in that bonus room,
you know, I can just like slide the door shut,
and that's like the play area.

Speaker 3 (01:29:40):
It's the main cave until Waffle comes out. I don't
know how Waffle slides that door open.

Speaker 2 (01:29:46):
She does. We're actual He's banging on it until it
opens it up.

Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
Bulldog it's like we don't have it locked in where
it's on the bottom, like that part broke, so it's
like one of those slide doors, but it can like
come out, you know what I mean and waffle just
like run her head on it until they're like wiggles
to where she can get a little snout and like
move it to get in there.

Speaker 3 (01:30:05):
This is my first time hanging out at Will's house.
I just see the door in the crowd just as
he's like talking to me and I'm trying to like
keep my I'm like, dude, there's a ghost up here.
It's your doors just going ewing.

Speaker 2 (01:30:20):
That's a good. That's a good.

Speaker 1 (01:30:21):
That's a good tip like building on that survival kit
for like what you know for young parents or if
you're expecting. The reason I like love I love that
idea is because routine is so crucial for kids and
then like getting understanding what they're gonna be getting into
like each different time of the day. Uh So that
play area, that little playpin area is like she knows
it's playtime when you're keeping them on routine where you

(01:30:43):
feed them, you burp them, if you're gonna give them
either tummy time, or playtime. They know putting them in
the pin or putting them in their area of play.
They know it's playtime. Or like when you're going for
the nighttime routine and you know, you close the curtains,
you put the little sound machine on, or if it's
a little night light, whatever it is. You're getting them
their PJS on first, Like for us, it's getting their
pjs off, or you change them, get their pjs on first.

(01:31:06):
You got the little you got the little noise playing
like you're getting them ready for bedtime. They know they're
locking in okay, this is the part of the day
where they're, you know, expected training me to sleep through
the night. You're getting them prep for bedtime. Same with
nap time. You're getting them in the mode of whatever
the routine is or the habits are around that time.
Same with again your survival kit, the playpin area. Their

(01:31:29):
brain is getting prepped for. It is playtime. This is
where I go. They set me down, They play with
me dad, Her mama's doing stuff like I have enough
things to occupy me.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
It's time to play.

Speaker 3 (01:31:38):
Yes, Her eyes start moving as soon as her back
touches that play matt. Her her eyes are moving she's
smiling because she's like, Oh, this is when y'all roll
me around and do the calls it the rotisserie chicken
where you push your legs in and we kind of
move her side to side and we make our hands
and her feet touch on you know, the sides.

Speaker 1 (01:31:59):
You get the little I forget what it's called, but
the like the player where it's like it's almost like
it's like a matt and it's got the things hanging
up top of it and they're just on and kind
of looking and.

Speaker 8 (01:32:11):
And it rips.

Speaker 3 (01:32:12):
Yeah, she loves the one that we got from Kiwi Ko.

Speaker 2 (01:32:16):
Yeah, it ribs.

Speaker 3 (01:32:18):
She got her daddy's bows too. When I'm doing those
little rotisserie chicken, she.

Speaker 1 (01:32:23):
Got her daddy's bout daddy's boughs. Got his daddy's boughs
because you'd be walking. You've got the bag of Chick
fil a in different fast food.

Speaker 3 (01:32:31):
She got her daddy Like all the time when we're
doing this, I have a I have a fun dad hack.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
What's your dad? Fun dad hack?

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
For parents that struggle getting their kids to eat, uh,
using fun at dinner time because I'll get at the
age where it's always a negotiation, always a battle to
get her eating food because we'll always finish first, and
you're kind of sitting there, real, please, for the love
of God, eat your chicken, eat your broccol eat this,
eat that's he's just a minute. Anything you put in
front of her, she's letting you know. She's putting it down.

(01:33:04):
She like sure, but a fun thing I came across,
like last night as I'm sitting there, We're trying to
get Root eat her food because it was kind of
like a like a coconut chicken that we had had
and she didn't want to eat it. And I start
bothering her, like, you know, rue can't eat your food.

Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
She know I don't want to eat my food.

Speaker 1 (01:33:19):
And then I get to where I'm tickling her, but
she's not in the mood to have fun and play.
She's like stop, stop, and she's like putting her hand
pushing me away. In the minute, she like put her
hand up to keep me away from going at her
to where it's like, oh, here comes the tickle monster
if you don't eat your food, and she's getting to
w her She's not into that anymore. Where it's like
that's not gonna get me to eat my food, like, oh,
tickle monster's gonna get you. Better eat you food for

(01:33:40):
the tickle monster gets you. She would when she's younger,
she would eat before the tickle monster would get her.
That was one fun way of using dinner time to
get her to eat your food. Now it's turned into
like tickle monster come to get you, and she's like
she starts getting pissy with me, like, no, Dad, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:33:55):
Not gonna eat my food. I don't want to eat
my food. I'm like, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:33:57):
So when she put her hand up to stop me
from coming and I went into Darth Vader choke, I
went into dark bag. She puts her hand up choking.
I was like, and you know, she kind of like
her face starts to break. And once she puts her
hand on stof, I'm like, oh, you can't be doing that,
or you're gonna you're gonna force choke me. And Scottie

(01:34:19):
goes over there and starts reaching it because she's like
laughing or playing and she just like puts her hands
up just to reach randomly. You know. When she does,
I was like, oh no, Roof starts to get a
crack of a smile and then she puts her hand
on my here comes go on.

Speaker 2 (01:34:33):
She puts it up and I'm like until she puts
it down, I'm like, oh, oh.

Speaker 1 (01:34:39):
That got us in the mode of play to where
I would grab her hand up back. You can't put
your hand up or Dad is gonna choke again, Like, please,
just eat it bout of it before you do it again.
Just eat it out of your food. You can choke
me again. She eat a bout of her food and
then it's boom and then I'm like, I'm like, I'm
lifting myselful out of the chair and she puts out like,
oh all right, we can keep doing this. Dad is

(01:35:01):
starting to get tired because it's really starting to hurt.
But we can keep doing this. You just eat a
bit of your food. She eats it bity of her food,
and it's like, all right, you're onto something. So that's
a way to make dinner time fun that you eat
your food, because as a parent, you'll start getting it
appens to us more often than not. But you get
frustrated and then I'll leverage your cookie, y'all. I've gotten
that down to a t.

Speaker 3 (01:35:20):
Hey good.

Speaker 2 (01:35:20):
You don't have to eat your food.

Speaker 1 (01:35:21):
You just you know what time it is if you
don't eat your food, CPC, CPC, And I'll hit her
with that. I'll be like, sweetheart, it's okay, she don't
have to eat your food. And I'm like, you can
go over there and so on the couch, do whatever
you want. You don't have to teach your food and
kind of a cookie. You know, you know you don't
get a cookie. You eat your food, you get a cookie. Yeah,
so it's you, it's your choice. You don't have to eat.

(01:35:42):
And that's I mean, that is that works. But the
way to have fun, to kind of get your impatience
out of it, or to turn it into a fun game,
that's a new one I found is getting force choked.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
I cannot wait for here. In like two months, she's
gonna be at soccer practice. One of those boys is
got a rough houser bump into her. You're just gonna
be walked and watching from afar and you're just gonna
see her go the kids.

Speaker 1 (01:36:08):
Well, what's funny is at first she thought it was
really happening.

Speaker 3 (01:36:12):
Yeah, like she thought she had the power.

Speaker 1 (01:36:14):
And then Scotty was you know when she randomly like
lifts her arms up like, oh, rouh, Scotty's doing it
to you, and Rude just like looks at me and
I'm like, is it not working? She's like no, I'm like,
you gotta pretend. You have to pretend. And then Ruth
started like pretending. H kind of get her sense of
humor going a little bit. He come on, boy, to
make dinner fun as a dad hack to get your
kids to eat.

Speaker 3 (01:36:33):
I love that dad hack. You made me do a
different dad hack than what I had written down. This
actually happened yesterday when JJ was here, which is Jeremy's son.
They asked him five or six times if he needed
to go potty, because he kept on kind of you know,
putting his legs together, putting his hands down there, showing
all signs that he did indeed need to body. But

(01:36:54):
his answer remained, no, do not need to potty. So
finally they asked someone last time, hey, do you need
to potty? And I abruptly interrupted. I said, no, JJ,
you can't go party. I'm going potty first. You can
go after me, and he was like no, I cant
get Oh you better beat me, Yeah, you better beat me. Competition. Yeah,

(01:37:19):
they ain't going.

Speaker 1 (01:37:20):
Because as dads as parents, because dads are more often
seen as like the fun one. You gotta continue to
create because you're I'm already feeling that the times were
rus not into things I used to do, and I'll
annoy her, and then I see it as a challenge
like Okay, I'm gonna figure you out at some point,
and yesterday tap it into the forest choke.

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
I'm I almost see if this one works.

Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
Because I'm not able to break her wall of like
having fun when I'm like tickle mass or I'm gonna
get it, get you or whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (01:37:51):
Like, all right, she seems to be over that.

Speaker 1 (01:37:52):
How can I continue to make this fun?

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
Dads have to continue to create? Bro, Yes dude.

Speaker 3 (01:37:58):
Also reminds me of oh yeah, we are. We are
running it. We're not out of time, but we are
cutting it close. We are cutting it close.

Speaker 2 (01:38:05):

Speaker 3 (01:38:07):
Gotta keep onder an hour. I'll sho. I'll save the
story that I was gonna tell for another.

Speaker 2 (01:38:11):
Sude, you don't want to tell it.

Speaker 3 (01:38:14):
My mom used to when we were leaving for school.
We had really bad attitudes in the morning, and so
to make us excited for school, we weren't allowed to
drive out of the driveway until she made a shot
in the driveway basket like basketball hoop. And it was
really it did make like mornings really fun because she
would like purposely miss like the first three times. We'd

(01:38:35):
be like, Mom, make it, we're gonna be late to school,
so I'm trying. I'm trying. It's fun. It was. It

Kind of keep it short and sweet. We'd had a
long delivery process. She was induced at like noon, and

(01:40:23):
we didn't sleep the night before. We'd been up all
night and it was like two in the morning and
I had just gone down to the vending.

Speaker 3 (01:40:31):
Machine to get some snacks.

Speaker 7 (01:40:33):
I came back, had my snacks, and I was on
the couch where I actually earned my my my couch stripes,
laying on the couch. I dozed off and I was
awoken by the nurses telling my wife to remember to
breathe and push, breathe and push, and I woke up

(01:40:56):
like I was getting shot at.

Speaker 2 (01:40:59):
I woke up.

Speaker 7 (01:40:59):
I jumped up and I ran over there, and the
nurses were fucking with me because I had fallen asleep
on the couch for like an hour. And I, needless
to say, I was up until like five fifty when
my daughter was born. I was up the next day
until by eight o'clock that night. But I love the show, guys.

Speaker 3 (01:41:55):
Do we have time for one more? Yeah? Yeah, it's

It's applicable for this week.

Speaker 4 (01:42:08):
Hey boys, it's Stu pop a Team six coming this Friday.
Just listening to the pod. Yeah, got a dad hack.
So I'm a private in training and I made a mistake.
I was ready, bags packed, car seat installed, all that.
Mama's carrying a little extra amnionic fluid, so we monitor

(01:42:31):
it multiple times a week.

Speaker 3 (01:42:34):
Baby is good, So good. Had a scare earlier this.

Speaker 4 (01:42:38):
Week though, thought it was the time, so we rushed
to the hospital. To my surprise, parking garage under construction
and closed.

Speaker 2 (01:42:49):
It's midnight.

Speaker 4 (01:42:50):
Oh second, parking garage required you to go across this
stupid skydeck through a maze of elevators up, one elevator down,
a all down an elevator. So once across the sky deck,
certain hallways close.

Speaker 3 (01:43:06):
At eleven pm.

Speaker 2 (01:43:07):
Oh good.

Speaker 4 (01:43:08):
Finally ended up making it to the maternity ward. But
my dad hack is do a trial run, yes, specifically
a solo.

Speaker 10 (01:43:21):
Mission if you want to look like a true hero,
so you don't deal with amazing issues before the big moment.
He's no idea that this hospital is under construction.

Speaker 4 (01:43:32):
But don't want any dads to have to go through
what I went through. But everything is good.

Speaker 2 (01:43:40):
Love y'all, Love the pod. What was his name, Stu, Stu,
shout out Stu for that. That's that's real game.

Speaker 1 (01:43:46):
If I was, if I had hit buds training and
I'm becoming a PT sixer, yeah in due time.

Speaker 2 (01:43:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:43:54):
If I were to have heard that Dad hack that
is one that you are locking that one in the chamber,
and I would have been running a.

Speaker 2 (01:44:01):
Solo Dad mission. I had no clue.

Speaker 1 (01:44:03):
Yes, I wouldn't even been aware to do something like
that if not for a phone call like that. So
any expecting father's dad is PT six game right their
shoutout Stu.

Speaker 3 (01:44:12):
Stu just set the bar for privates. By the way,
he's not even PT six yet. Yeah, Stu's kind of
locked in.

Speaker 1 (01:44:21):
He's locked in because he's already given game learning from
mistakes when he's not even a PT sixer, you know
what I mean, He's giving his younger self game. Yeah, like, hey,
this is important enough. I want to share this with
some some incoming fathers.

Speaker 3 (01:44:35):
Into Stu's point. Vandy here in Nashville parking Garage is
also under construction.

Speaker 2 (01:44:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:44:42):
Thankfully Jill works at Vandy and was aware of that,
and we actually did a trial run as well of
Jill kind of you know, we drove by there. Hey,
we're gonna be parking here. Those are the doors we
walk in. Highly advise it.

Speaker 2 (01:44:56):
Yeah, great games.

Speaker 3 (01:44:57):
Do great games? Dou lesson topic or quote of the week.

Speaker 2 (01:45:03):
I have one.

Speaker 3 (01:45:04):
I have one as well. Mine's really shortened quote do
it Okay. I'm stealing this one directly from my therapist
because I thought it was an incredible metaphor. He was
talking about life as a plate at Thanksgiving dinner and
that you never want your plate at Thanksgiving dinner as
you're walking to the table to have food falling off

(01:45:27):
of it. Or let's say you go to the table
and you set your plate down and all you have
is turkey. There's no gravy, there's no mashed potatoes, there's
no green beans, sweet potato casserole. What's this guy doing?
Or maybe you just have a little bit on your plate.
It's like yo, it's Thanksgiving, like eat, like fill your
plate up. He was talking about that perfect balance of

(01:45:50):
all things that you have in your life. So like
you got your social life, which is like your green beans.
You got your let's say you're married or have a girlfriend,
that's your turkey. You got your mashed potatoes with your
kids and maybe some gravy. You have all these different
things you have your work life, which is like the
dinner roll. Yeah, you're gonna have everything on your plate,

(01:46:10):
but you want to have the right amount and if
you have too much of something, maybe cut back on
it a little bit. Just make sure we have everything
on our plate, but still have a full plate. Thanksgiving
by God. I just love that metaphor.

Speaker 1 (01:46:23):
Yeah, butter roll enough or get the gravy going enough.

Speaker 2 (01:46:29):
That's a good one.

Speaker 3 (01:46:30):
It's a good one. As soon as I heard it,
I was like, dude, that's so easy just to apply
to like anything in life. But I just love that
illustration of it.

Speaker 2 (01:46:39):
So this.

Speaker 1 (01:46:42):
Lesson topic whatever, This is a philosophy I came across.
Great to stack on top of what you just said
as far as balance in your life.

Speaker 2 (01:46:51):
Have you ever heard of the the.

Speaker 1 (01:46:52):
Anchor before sales philosophy or the anchor in sales?

Speaker 2 (01:46:56):
No, okay, this is great.

Speaker 3 (01:46:57):
This was sales as in sailing or selling somebody.

Speaker 2 (01:47:01):
Sales as in sailing. Say it sailing as aye out.

Speaker 1 (01:47:05):
So the metaphor of the anchor and sale, this is
a This is a powerful framework.

Speaker 2 (01:47:12):
So It's like two essential forces.

Speaker 1 (01:47:14):
Right governing governing your principles, your personal values like keeping
everything in check, keeping everything.

Speaker 2 (01:47:20):
Sturdy before you get the sea.

Speaker 1 (01:47:21):
The anchor symbolizes governing principles, so self evident truth that
ground us during times of turmoil, while the sale represents
our personal values or the things we esteemed to be
of worth, which guide our actions and enable us to
adapt and grow in the face of change. So if
I formulate this around family life like for the dads,

(01:47:44):
like dads, because there'll be career mixed in there, you
can formulate this around anything in your life, but as
far as the for the Dad's brand pop a team
six family. Think of your life as a ship. The
sales are the opportunities, the career move, the career moves,
the yeses that propel you forward. Those are your sales.
They catch the wind and move you fast. But the
anchors the things that you've already chosen as your highest priorities,

(01:48:08):
like your wife, your kids, your family, your career, the
things that keep you steady. Without anchoring first, no amount
of wind will keep you from drifting off course. The
danger that a lot of us face is that many
of us raise every sale without checking the anchors. We
say yes to everything in career, hobbies, and obligations, thinking

(01:48:29):
it's all for the family. But if the anchors aren't
set first, if your wife doesn't feel seen, if your
kids only get the leftovers of your time, they don't
feel seen, your family doesn't feel seen, then all that
progress is just drifting. So the philosophy around this metaphor
becomes anchor.

Speaker 2 (01:48:46):
First.

Speaker 1 (01:48:47):
Schedule family time and wifetime as the non negotiables before
anything else goes on the calendar sail with intention. Every
career or outside commitment that you say yes to must
be weighed against those anchors. Does this opportunity strengthen or
train or strain what I've already chosen as the most important?
Live by the subtraction. So true priorities show up more

(01:49:10):
in what you say no to than what you say
yes to. A man who says yes to everything spreads
himself thin. A man who protects his no has the
strength to show up fully where it matters. This doesn't
mean you neglect your ambition or growth.

Speaker 2 (01:49:27):
It doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:49:28):
It just means that your definition of success shifts if
the world praises you, but your wife and kids feel unseen.
You've lost the only scoreboard that matters. And anybody can
listen to this or think about this in a way.
If you have it for the Dad's brand, you're somebody
who's successful or ambitious, all of those things I have
an interest in, like I guess pushing a philosophy or

(01:49:52):
something that interests me that I think is correct. Yeah, yeah,
going back to the only scoreboard that matters. Reference and
to me, I sit there and think about anybody that
I latch onto admire in the world of success, hustle, grit, ambitious,
anything that has touched me indirectly or directly that I've

(01:50:13):
admired that I've taken bits and pieces from to apply
to my life and career and ambition. But everybody, bro
who gets to the end of their life that reflects
back on things that they wish they did more of.
It is across the board family time. Yeah, it is
across the board. They reflect on that scoreboard of things

(01:50:35):
that they sacrificed for this goal that they did achieve.
And everybody bro that you sit there and read about
or listen to that is reflecting on their success along
the way early in life where they're at now. The
thing that they always that they always talk about that
is such a common denominator is I wish I would

(01:50:57):
have played catch more. I wish I would I wish
I would not have complained about you know, my kids
wanting me to do X, Y and Z and I
kind of said no to him during that time. They
always talk about those moments, and that's something that I
very much have latched onto in recent years and something
that you know, as we've talked about lessons, topics, life

(01:51:18):
outside of podcasting, like all those things, I feel like
it's such a constant thing that I keep on at
the top of my mind on what to say yes to,
what to say no to, all of those things. Like again,
a great example where this weekend was a weekend in
the calendar when we were about to get in football
season and we're kind of, you know, juggling what our

(01:51:39):
routine is going to look like throughout the week, and
this weekend had popped up as like an open weekend.
We've talked about it on four the Dads on like
looking ahead, whether it's family photos, shooting our shooting, our wives,
a message, Hey go get a latte, venmoing the money,
whatever it is, that we've done something that we wanted
to do. Is like, hey, where is a weekend to

(01:51:59):
where we can get away, whether it's for you know,
we're only doing it for what like not even twenty
four hours, Yeah, about eighteen hours to where it's like, hey,
we're gonna have mom and dad time because we feel
like two ships passing in the night a lot of times.
So how can we circle this weekend as like, all right,
we're going to build around this weekend. Anything that comes
up that could happen this weekend we're going to say

(01:52:20):
no to because we're going to spend time with each other.

Speaker 2 (01:52:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:52:22):
So I came across this, this metaphor in philosophy, like
as I was doing some you know, scrolling around on
the Internet and everything else, this the anchor and sale
caught my eye, and then I broke it down to
like how can this apply family wise? Cause again you
can use this anchor and sale philosophy for everything.

Speaker 4 (01:52:42):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:52:43):
It's like, if you want to go accomplish anything in life,
you want to first start at like who am I?

Speaker 2 (01:52:48):
What am I?

Speaker 1 (01:52:49):
What do I want to value? What am I going
to a prioritize? Like who do I want to become
those essentially are your anchors. So that way, when you
do set sail everywhere, you're able to weigh it down
and start first where your anchors are. So I thought
this anchor and sale philosophy was fucking all time, and
I was fired up to share when it comes to family,
the family stuff, because again it's somebody who is very ambitious,

(01:53:11):
who very much wants to achieve and accomplish, and somebody
who also very much wants to I don't want to
just say, you know the cliche of football, like growing
up with football is like faith family football. It's like, okay,
family and faith and all this stuff is in there.
But really I'm always dialed in your boys, always dialed
into football. That's what I'm saying, Yes to everything football,

(01:53:33):
and not really I'm telling myself that all of this
is for family. All my ambition and everything that I'm
doing is for my kids, my wife, Like I go
and do all this and so we can have this
life everything else. But if you're truly going to be
intentional and prioritize, it's how do you spend time to
actually look at how family and kids and your wife
are a true anchor in your life, so that way

(01:53:55):
you do, you are protecting your nose when those do
come up. So I was obsessed with this philosophy. I
couldn't wait to share it.

Speaker 3 (01:54:05):
I love everything that you just said, and you pretty
much just described like what I told my therapist my
very first time I met with him, this new one
here in Nashville. Of my goal yea, of like I
am meeting with you once every two weeks because I
want to I want the main thing to remain the

(01:54:28):
main thing, and I want to have this balance in
my life. I know that nobody has the perfect life,
but I want that accountability coach, somebody that I'm able
to like run these things by. And I love that philosophy.
Love that philosophy because my dad would be right there
with you with saying, you know, his biggest regret not

(01:54:51):
doing more family time. And I say that because he'd
be willing to share it, and I can see it
in the way that he interacts with Scarlett. He's just like,
oh man, uh so, yeah, dude. That gets me fired up.

Speaker 1 (01:55:05):
Yeah, bro, because because you're right, there's no you can
talk about balance, but there's no such thing. It's balance,
is all right? How can you compartmentalize your mind to hey,
what is fucking.

Speaker 2 (01:55:18):
Important to you?

Speaker 1 (01:55:19):
Yeah, how do you dial in on each of those anchors,
each of those principles, each of those values, and how
do you get so clear to where you know what
you're going to reach out to go for on your
next move, or you know what to say no to. Yeah,
it's god, it's so crucial. That's that's truly, like it's
a constant conversation in my head.

Speaker 3 (01:55:41):
And a good illustration of that to add on to
that picture. I was just having this conversation about like,
what what is it like being a dad chairman? What's
the question that was asked to me? And life really
is like a plate being balanced on a stick, where
like you're never going to achieve that perfect balance where
the plate stops completely and it's flat and everything's good.

(01:56:05):
There's always this just got at it. Now Scarlet can
walk and talk deal with that. Now she can reach
up and open doors, and we got to tell her
to stay out of certain rooms. My best friend just
did something that you know, betrayed our friendship. My boss
at work is a psychopath. Like I'm just making up examples,

(01:56:25):
but like the plate is always it's just like, how
are you going to react to those things to achieve
some semblance of balance, some semblance of like an even
keel to keep it on sailing.

Speaker 1 (01:56:39):
Turn amen, bro, And to me, it's about you take
all the accountability and control that you are going to
find the balance of that plate. Yes, it's not the
external things that are happening, because that's that's constant. Happiness
is so fucking fleeting, bro, it's so fleeting. Yeah. Yeah,
you're looking for things to make you happy, like it's
it's dude, it's you, Yeah, it's us, it's myself, it's disciplines,

(01:57:01):
it's things that are fucking hard. But in those moments
when you do find that balance, it's like how do
you again, taste it for a moment, but know that
that unbalanced, that something's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (01:57:12):
It's truly, it's all about It's all about how you
react to it.

Speaker 3 (01:57:14):
And don't you don't have to be like this isn't
like a you got to be proactive, not reactive, like
you got to be perfect. You gotta have it absolutely. Yeah,
it's just like just be aware that things are always
going to be changing, and that your actions and reactions
are gonna tell the people in your life how important
they are to you, or the things in your life

(01:57:35):
how important they are to you.

Speaker 1 (01:57:36):
Right in reconnecting, Yes, just constantly recredit reconnecting, because again,
where we all get off the rails, we constantly get
off the rails.

Speaker 2 (01:57:45):
How do you get back to center? Yeah? It fires
me up, dude.

Speaker 3 (01:57:49):
I love that philosophy.

Speaker 1 (01:57:50):
Who was that a quote or so the art the
article I read, I'll have to find the article, but
it was talking about the anchor. It was talking about
like the anchor and the sale, and it was kind
of talking more like career based. And then I came
across one with like, you know, I'm looking in like, uh,
like the power of no. I always love the power
of no stuff. Ryan Holiday talks about that with like

(01:58:10):
family and everything else. So it was like a combination
of things that I'm like, you know, I was trying
to because it truly is a constant conversation in my
head to where I'll like struggle with it every time
I'm like tapping in, I'm like, all right, things feel
a little overwhelming right now. How can I lock how
can I you know, what's this bucket with my wife,
look like, what's this bucket?

Speaker 2 (01:58:29):
With my kids? Look like?

Speaker 1 (01:58:30):
Am I satisfied? Am I happy with what I'm doing
as much as I'm doing like with my kids? So
I need to be a little more intentional. Do I
need to take an hour or two? And it's just
me and Rue. We get out of the house and
go do somewhether it's a trip to target. You and
Charles going to the library yesterday with Rue and she's like,
do you mind if I pick room for school.

Speaker 2 (01:58:46):
And we go to the library. Yeah, oh oh yeah,
Charles All Public Library. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:58:51):
The library's got a lot of cool stuff for kiddos too,
like as far as like advance or story time, yeah,
things like that.

Speaker 2 (01:58:58):
And she like, do you mind, you know, rocking with Scotty?

Speaker 1 (01:59:00):
And I'm like, oh, dude, absolutely, Like Scotty's a piece
of cake, especially if you're one on one with her,
Like she's a little ten eleven month old, She's just
a lot of fun. But I'm sitting there playing with Scotty.
It's like this is one on one time I'm getting
with Scotti. Yeah, because a lot of times it'll be
two on two, got the whole family together.

Speaker 2 (01:59:14):
You can tell when we're.

Speaker 1 (01:59:15):
All ready to pull each other's hair out at times,
and it's like it's just re checking in, like, Okay,
what is because I know I do a lot of
We do a lot of stuff here at the shop,
a lot of stuff at work. I'm constantly thinking about
busting with the boys and career and everything else. But
it's it's one of those things that where it's a
constant conversation with myself. Uh. One thing I wanted to ask,
how uh, how discombobulated do you get your mind when

(01:59:37):
somebody just randomly hit you with like what's fatherhood?

Speaker 3 (01:59:40):
Like I do did? It's a fun question to answer
with people that knew me very well when I was
young because I was a absolute goofball, absolute menace, like
Sherman Young is a dad? What the fuck? Which I'm
sure you have friends there are like Will Compton's a dad. Yeah, yeah,
it loves it like what in the world? And so

(02:00:02):
I like answering that question. It is a hard question
to answer. But like we joked about when we started
this podcast of like your life is over, bro yea
life is over? It does feel like that because like
this morning completely revolved around Scarlet Sterling young. I did
not matter for the dads didn't matter. It was how

(02:00:24):
do we make sure Scarlett is safe for a two
hour window so that Sherman then can do his job
because we got to make sure Scarlet's safe. It's just
like having this thing in your life that is just
like I FaceTime my mom this morning and the camera
is on me for three seconds and it was like
a thirty minute call. She just wanted to look at

(02:00:45):
Scarlet and like I was my mom's whole world, and
now it's like Scarlet's her whole world, and I love it.
I take no offense, but it really is just kind
of like a death of self, I guess in a way,
which you your point as well to like bring it
back to your philosophy. That's what I'm really trying to
work on right now, aside from being a good dad,

(02:01:08):
good husband. It's like, hey, what are some selfish things
I can pour into myself that I do enjoy? So
I'm trying to like get back to my roots of
like hunting. I really enjoyed that soccer I grew up
playing that, I played it in high school. Want to
try and find like a men's league or something, so
I don't know. It's just like this constantly.

Speaker 1 (02:01:26):
Yeah, I'm more so asked the question because if that,
if that question were to come at me, I feel
like I would get into a very uh, just talking
mode because it's not just right right, it's not. And
then like I'm driving afterwards, I'm like, man, what is
fatherhood like to me? And it's something like, you know,
we had the first the very first episode we did

(02:01:48):
on being a girl dad and everything else. It's like
things like that you think you think about it, It's like, yeah, dude,
it would be cool to have like a just a
foundational thing that I know I go to because it
feels so to explain until you're in it, you're like
death of self, but just it's like new life in
the best way.

Speaker 3 (02:02:07):
Also new life that yes, it is a death of self. Right,
it's like this new chapter that's being written. Yeah, And
I was so scared.

Speaker 2 (02:02:16):
I was terrified going into it.

Speaker 3 (02:02:19):
I truly was. I was terrified. And now that I'm
in it, Jill's bringing up like let's have another blah blah,
and a part of me is like, oh shit, and
then the other part of me is like, oh dude,
we get to do this again. This is gonna be awesome.
We're gonna have to Yeah. So so Charle on the
two note Charo at the end of this month, she's

(02:02:39):
had a wild hair to want to take Rude of London.
She's taking Rud of London for like four or five days.

Speaker 1 (02:02:45):
What yeah, yeah, yeah, that's so sick. Yeah, she's been
wanting to take Rud of London and do like a
mommy daughter girls trip. It was so funny when Rue
was kind of asking me about it. I was feeding
Rude dinner, Mom was mom was working, Scotty was playing
in the living room, had the barricade up on the
stair stairs, and I'm sitting there getting us some dinner

(02:03:06):
or roos eating a snackers. Something's going on to where
I'm sitting up there. Maybe it was breakfast in the
morning and Charli had left early for work and h
Ruth sitting there and she kind of like asking me
how I feel about She's like that, how you feel
about mama going to the airport? But Mama, Mama and
Rue get on the plane and dead dad Scottie stay home.

(02:03:29):
And she's like, because you're a boy, so you can't
you can't go now, I can tell she's like actually
trying to feel me out and see how I felt
about it. And I'm like, oh, are you talking about
a little girls trip? And then she's like thinking in
her head, She's like, oh, Scotty would come with us too,
because Scotti's a girl.

Speaker 4 (02:03:45):
Dad.

Speaker 2 (02:03:46):
Dad would stay home, though, how would that be okay?

Speaker 1 (02:03:51):
I'm like, dude, of course that would be okay. You
going on a little girls trip. You'd have so much fun.

Speaker 2 (02:03:55):
Would Rue come back? You know?

Speaker 1 (02:03:57):
If that would make me sad if Rue and Mama
and everybody don't come back. She's like, yeah, we will
always come back, because we always tell her, like when
we leave, whether it's for date night or on a
trip or whatever it is, Dad and Mama we always
come back home. We'd always come back. And I'm like, dude,
of course, you'd have so much fun. That would be
be so much fun. I think it's just you and Mama,
she said, with Scotty's a girl too. I was like, well,
maybe Scotty's going. I don't know to talk to because

(02:04:18):
scharl and I talked about it, and I'm like, I
just dude, it makes me a little uneasy.

Speaker 2 (02:04:21):
You guys traveling Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:04:24):
Being that far away, I'm thinking, what you know, you
just think like Liam Neeson quod if something happened. But uh,
but anyway, she's taking Rue at the end of the
month to London for four five days.

Speaker 2 (02:04:36):
I was like, would that be cool?

Speaker 1 (02:04:37):
I'm like, dude, I feel like we have we have
the capabilities where I can be flexible and go do
a trip like this.

Speaker 2 (02:04:43):
I wanted.

Speaker 1 (02:04:43):
I've wanted to do it for so long, and I
feel like you can't do it because you got football
season and everything else. I'm like, dude, go if you
want to go and you feel like that would feel
fill your soul up and going with Rue like that'd
be so many awesome memories and you'd be able to
journal every day about it and have these core memories
with Rue like that'd be so sick and obviously of

(02:05:04):
rock with Scotti, like but my mindset having too and
knowing I'm staying home with Scotti. It's gonna be funny
when you have your second one and then you're on
a spot to where she's taking scarscar and you're rocking
back with the youngest. Your mindset because Scarlett's three months
old and you're talking about all these things. It's a
big fox whole moment and scoreboard everything else. But I
think about me rocking Scotty. I'm like, this is gonna

(02:05:24):
be the easiest. Oh, it's gonna be the easiest session
of my life because Scotty she's just you know, she's
just a little pup. Yeah, somebody told me the eleven
months old, Like, you know she'll be She'll have so
much fun with Ru's gonna be a blast to travel with.
But I feel like being one on one with Scotty.
I just think of it in such a way to
where whenever it was one on one with me and
Rue the first time when Rue was young. I'm thinking

(02:05:46):
of this overwhelming, like all right, I'm gonna handle it.
I'm gonna handle this. I'm gonna do that. And now
I'm thinking, since we have too, she's taking the oldest one,
I got the youngest one. Like, it's gonna be a
piece of cake with Scotti. But how sick is that
going to? Uh doing a little trip to London.

Speaker 3 (02:05:59):
That's gonna be so yeah, I'm so sorry that I
checked out there at the end. Jill just texted me,
she said, are you home yet?

Speaker 2 (02:06:05):
Twelfy three. You told her, you said twelfifty.

Speaker 3 (02:06:08):
Five, right, twelve fifty five. So I'm gonna be there.
I'm gonna be there on time.

Speaker 1 (02:06:11):

Speaker 3 (02:06:15):
