Main Theme & Purpose

This episode of “For The Dads” brings together NFL vet Will Compton, cohost Sherman Young, and their behind-the-scenes team to celebrate the highs, lows, and nitty-gritty realities of being a dad today. The Boys dive into breaking generational patterns of parenting, navigating emotional milestones (like a first day of school), and dealing with everything from postpartum intimacy challenges to “crazy” neighbor run-ins. They spotlight community stories from their PT6/Papa Team 6 dad tribe, answer listener voicemails, and drop nuggets of wisdom for fellow fathers, all with irreverent banter and genuine camaraderie.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Celebrating the ‘Papa Team 6’ Community (01:59–12:19)

• Will and Sherman celebrate their active, growing community of dads, emphasizing the inclusivity and ongoing support among PT6 listeners.
• A fan comment epitomizes the “embrace the suck” philosophy: inconveniences on family trips (“wife is uncomfortable, need a new chair… Good!”) are opportunities to lean into dad responsibility with humor and pride.
• Running jokes on the show, including Will’s new nickname “Willie One Shelf,” highlight the playful camaraderie and willingness to poke fun at their own dad shortcomings.
• Quote:

  “That right there is embracing a moment of, ‘I am pissed off and I am irritated, but there’s this ‘good’ in the back of my head.”
  — Will Compton (05:22)

2. Navigating Marriage & Postpartum Intimacy (12:10–22:25)

• Will and Sherman discuss Sherman’s wife being on the “PUP List” (Physically Unable to Perform after childbirth), the realities of intimacy downtime postpartum, and how both partners cope with changing needs.
• They share the male perspective of feeling “secondary” during pregnancy and postpartum—a candid, funny look at frustration and empathy.
• Emphasis on the importance of communication, humor, and patience as relationships adjust to the presence of a new child.
• Quote:

  “Just because one ride is broken down doesn’t mean the whole theme park has to be shut down.”
  — Will Compton (15:31)

3. Genuine Connection & Emotional Labor in Relationships (17:19–23:36)

• Discussion shifts to men feeling sidelined or internalizing emotions instead of expressing them, especially when relationship dynamics change with kids.
• Sherman commends his wife’s emotional intelligence in reading his moods and drawing him out.
• Will calls for “masculine energy that actually feels their emotions,” striving to be more open than their own fathers’ generation.

4. Shoutouts, Listener Love & The Power of Community (24:34–44:24)

• The Boys read and celebrate listener comments—including Anna Withrow’s note about the difficulties of parenting with a newborn and husband working grueling equipment-manager hours.
• Deep recognition of the “unsung heroes” (equipment staff, full-time student workers, etc.) and advice on teamwork and communication for new parents facing long days apart.
• Will and Sherman stress empathetic communication, regular check-ins, and mutual recognition of each other’s work—at home and on the job.
• Quote:

  “It’s not about staying strong for each other. It’s about just staying connected.”
  — Will Compton (34:22)

5. Advice for New/Expecting Parents in Demanding Jobs (32:13–38:59)

• For the Razorbacks’ equipment manager & wife (listener shoutout):
  • Be intentional about checking in, clarify needs, and anticipate each other’s schedules.
  • Simple gestures (“Did you eat lunch?”) show empathy during exhausting “trapped at home” newborn phases.
  • Dads: When you come home from a long shift, immediately ask, “How can I lighten the load?”
• Quote:

  “When that garage door opens up, all right, I’m about to go in. Good. How can I take whatever load is going on from my wife?”
  — Will Compton (36:14)

6. Dad Wins, Losses, and the Value of Family (53:12–66:34)

• Will shares the emotional milestone of his daughter Rue’s first day of school, coinciding with what would have been his late mom’s birthday. The moment is bittersweet—she’s growing, he’s proud, but change is hard.
• Sherman celebrates the joy of family visits, the relief of passing the baby around, and cherishing big extended gatherings as “the best kind of vacation for new parents.”
• Both reflect on how fast kids grow, the importance of being present, and how those little firsts can bring tears (“She’s got cheeks and a double chin, what happened to my little baby?” — Sherman, 60:19)

7. Dad Losses & The Power of Getting Playfully Outnumbered (67:18–72:26)

• Will recounts a typical “dad loss”: forgetting to clean up after a diaper change and being hilariously called out by both wife and toddler. The lesson? You’re always outnumbered when you mess up (“Rue’s little candy ass goes, ‘Dad, you gotta put Scotty’s laundry away.’” — 71:16)
• Sherman introduces “The Trenches,” a new segment about moments that blur the line between win and defeat—like finally getting a constipated baby to erupt (“It was like a subwoofer…The whole thing painted, like, with a paint roller.” — Sherman, 77:31)

8. Listener Voicemails: Dealing With Overbearing Neighbors (85:49–93:13)

• Voicemail from “Nate” tells of a neighbor shaming him for mowing the lawn shirtless in 99°F heat, and then escalating the complaint to Nate’s wife.
• The crew cracks up, riffing on responses (crop tops, booby tassels, and taking pride in your “dad bod”).
• Moral: Don’t let cranky neighbors diminish your dad confidence. Flex for the community!

9. Breaking Cycles, Embracing Emotion, Setting New Standards (96:30–101:12)

• Will closes with a heartfelt lesson: Modern dads can—and must—break cycles of harsh or isolating punishment. Instead, they should walk through “the fire” with their kids, guiding and standing with them during emotional storms, teaching with empathy and presence.
• Quote:

  “Our job is to walk through the fire with them and challenge yourself to stand in the storm with them and show them the way...It’s why we embrace ‘good’ and why we set the standard for the next generation.”
  — Will Compton (97:31)

Maybe you just dropped your little one off at school and you got us on the. You got us playing audio right now on Spotify, Apple, the Amazon one, Amazon one, the Google one, the Google whatever it is, make sure you are subscribed and following. And maybe as you are subscribing there's a tear in your eye because again, you just dropped your little one off at school for the first time, which is what I did last week. Good. What else could you be doing mowing the lawn. Maybe you're in the weight room, maybe you're at work listening to your boss, but you don't want to really listen to your boss. You just want to listen to the boys. On for the dads, I am Will Compton. My co host, Sherman Young. This is a show, fellas, that embraces the highs and lows of fatherhood, embraces the trenches, embraces the suck and love of fatherhood. We talk about dad wins and losses, things we crack a cold one to some dad hacks, things we put in our survival kit. We have a hotline you can call into that is 6:01 the dads, where you call in, you leave a voicemail talking about a win or a loss or a dad hack that you might have. We feature you on the show, you get featured on the show, we ship you guys some free merchandise. And then to round out every episode, we talk about a lesson, a quote, a philosophy, a concept, something that Sherm and I have gravitated towards over the last week that we're trying to challenge ourselves as better fathers. I have one for us at the end of the episode that I took some time to think on and write down that I think you will enjoy because I do believe the PT6ers out there, the Papa team, six guys, me, you, everybody out there consuming this brand in this podcast. We're all cut from the same cloth a little bit or else we would. They wouldn't keep coming back. We have a great 10,000 view base right now. We got to get those numbers up. The way to do that, make sure you are subscribed to the channel. I believe we are. Are we around 6,000 subscribers yet on YouTube?

[Chef Jack]

I believe so.

[Will Compton]

Yes. We're around 6,000 subscribers. We got a great foundational base of around 10,000 viewers coming in. That's not including the tens of thousands on audio, which fires me up. But again, to help the boys out, to help out this brand, continue to engage with us on our social medias at. For the dadspod. You can also reach out to me on X or Instagram. Sherm on X or Instagram. The comments on YouTube are absolutely incredible. We love seeing the conversations and the back and forth. Am I missing anything?

[Sherman Young]

Just really quickly do it. They set a new record. PT 6. Sicko set a new record.

[Will Compton]

4.

[Sherman Young]

They clogged the voicemail after a fresh deletion in five days.

[Will Compton]

And how many. Remind me again, Chef, how many fit in the voicemail?

[Sherman Young]

300.

[Will Compton]

300. And then you have to unload it yeah. The calls are coming in, boys. We absolutely love it. Again, embracing Papa Team 6 and what that means for our brain. And I'll just give you a small example because I saw this YouTube comment the other night as I was doom scrolling a little bit, but this comes from Miles Ruff and he left us a little PS paragraph at the bottom that was embracing. Good. Wife is uncomfortable in the beach chairs we packed. Good. So I have to walk back to the car. Good. Find a local store nearby. Good. And pay an inflated price for a new beach chair that we may never use again.

[Sherman Young]

Good.

[Will Compton]

That right there is embracing a moment of. I am pissed off and I am irritated, but there's this good in the back of my head. The PT6ers out there are on my shoulder right now. Hey, Willie boy. I had a moment last week. Can you hang a shelf? Didn't want to. It pained me to my core. There's a little bit of back and forth with me and the wifey. Ultimately, she was right, as they always are wives out there. Sweetheart, we love you, we appreciate you, but those are the moments right there. Sherm, Kiddo spits up on you. Good.

[Sherman Young]

Spits up a lot. Did you see the nickname that they tried to give you in the comments?

[Will Compton]

No.

[Sherman Young]

They said all Willy. One shelf.

[Will Compton]

It's fair. You're gonna be part of PT6. You got to be willing to get your balls busted.

[Sherman Young]

Gotta take the hit.

[Will Compton]

You gotta take the hits. Willie. One shelf. There he goes walking down the road again.

[Sherman Young]

It's kind of catchy.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Just on. On a stroll with the kid. Like the little. Like a post dinner walk. Neighbor steps outside. Hey, Willie. One shell. You gotta build something tonight. Get your ass back inside, old man. Name the movie before I break your hip.

[Chef Jack]

Oh, Happy Gilmore.

[Will Compton]

Happy. Was that Happy Gilmore? Which I know. It's Adam Sandler.

[Chef Jack]

Yeah, it's Happy Gilmore, I think.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Incredible. Incredible. A Willie Wood show.

[Will Compton]

We go through it, man. Trust me, it paid me. As I was driving home last week thinking about that conversation, I was like, man, I'm really gonna. It's not a good look for a Papa Team Sixer.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. I'm already putting the feels out for trying to get a handyman in here. I told Chef I think it would be really fun for a. For the dads vlog. A short vlog. We have a handyman come in here. We get all the boys in the office in on it and we just, you know, bit of shelf, get a little refresher in. This is a hammer this is a drill.

[Will Compton]

I saw a comment too. This is a stud finder. Oh, you found the stud right here. What else you need?

[Sherman Young]

Oh, it works.

[Will Compton]

What, what did the man, what did he say in the comments rattle off?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, let's.

[Will Compton]

Let's talk about the comments that have been popping up.

[Sherman Young]

And also to add to Miles Ruff's comment, he had a great first part. He said, I've never been a commenter on anything. First time commenter Miles Ruff. But nothing has me more fired up than to join PT6 deploying soon September 20th for the first tour of a PT6 mission. Congratulations, Miles.

[Will Compton]

Thank you for your service, brother.

[Sherman Young]

Currently on the beach with the pod in one ear, my wife is next to me enjoying our final days before our little girl joins us. Couldn't be more excited for fatherhood. And then of course the psycho note that will rattled off down below it.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, the good. Dude, I. The comments are so fun, bro.

[Sherman Young]

They're great, dude.

[Will Compton]

And I've been, I was just telling the boys before the show started that I've now created the, the bookmark folders, the archive that what you can save on Instagram and what you can bookmark on X. I've created a little FTD folder so that way I can keep up a lot better because I'll see all the comments and I think to myself, I'll jump on these tomorrow at work because I'm usually scrolling at night time and I had to find a system to actually remind me to get back to someone because dude, seriously, when you guys share our stuff, that's how everything grows organically. Like we're going to have the same pt6ers showing up every week. The buy in is absolutely incredible. And I love. There was a comment too that I had shared where it's like, he's like, I think it was on X where he's like, I got the whole family watching. If you're passing around to your dad, group chats, you're just letting the boys know out there if they have a kiddo and you think they're, you think they are cut from the same cloth as we are and they might be five degrees removed, that sometimes that's all it takes. It's like if you're in the, if you're in the world somewhere, you might not be at the level. Sometimes we don't. We're not up to the standard. I wasn't up to standard when I get nicknamed Willie One Shell. But if there's potential, if there's a potential PT6 or out there. We got to recruit him to the brand. You do that by sharing and by commenting, by doing all the things that you guys are doing. But it's truly Sherman I. We geek out. Me, Sherman Chef, who's also captain of Seaman Team 6. We got our little group chat, and we're. We're showing our screenshots of the love that you guys show. And it. It warms our hearts.

[Sherman Young]

We did. We've been texting back and forth. I saved this one for the pod. I wanted to text y' all so bad.

[Will Compton]

This one that you're about to read.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, read it. Jake Frederick does not have an Instagram. However, his wife, Chloe Frederick does. Jake got on his wife's Instagram to DM me. He DM's me this really nice message. I DM back. He said his wife said he DM'd you back. Have fun. And toss him the phone. And then he told me later in our conversation that she was pissed because he was smiling harder. DMing back and forth about PT6 than he's ever smiled in a family photo. So thank you, Chloe, for being a part of Milk Team 6. And, Jake, congratulations, and thank you for DMing me off of your wife's account. That was legendary.

[Will Compton]

Just imagine the grin, the smile of just operating within PT6. And then your wife asks, and you're like, what are you over there smiling? Oh, Papa Team Six. What the fuck is Papa Team Six? Hey, hey, calm down, sweetheart. You are part of Milk Team 6. What?

[Sherman Young]

What? What's up with all this energy, babe? What's the deal? Yeah, I'm excited to be a dad. Yeah, sue me.

[Will Compton]

Hey, what a week. I'll say. A very emotional week for your boy. Rue went to school.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, dude.

[Will Compton]

For the first time. So we will be diving into those stories, reading a couple more comments. I found the stud finder. This one's from Derek Sanchez. Dad tip for Will. Anytime you use a stud finder, and I mean anytime, you always got to make it beep on yourself first. That's the ultimate dad joke for PT6. PT6 out. That's the ultimate dad joke. BT6 out.

[Sherman Young]

And you gotta.

[Will Compton]

And it's got, like, you know, 33 likes, all the dads. Yep. Gotta beep it on yourself first.

[Sherman Young]

And you gotta. The line to go with it is, are we sure this thing works? Put it on yourself and it beeps and you go, yeah, I think it's working. Wife will love that one. Oh, and I got.

[Will Compton]

Then when she giggles, you say, yeah, you keep playing your Cards right tonight. Daddy might mount you. We're adding another one.

[Sherman Young]

We got another one. If you're a part of Papa Team 6, that little bit of Seam 6 in you never really leaves, does it?

[Will Compton]

Never leaves. Hey, just challenge. Hey, challenge for all of Papa Team 6 within this next week. Once you listen to this episode, your mission is once you get your wife to laugh at a funny little joke, you just tell her, keep playing your cards right. Daddy might mount you tonight. Hey, speaking of.

[Sherman Young]

Speaking of, somebody comes off the pups list pretty soon.

[Will Compton]

I. I've been curious, but I don't want to get in your business.

[Sherman Young]

You're not my business.

[Will Compton]

I wanted to ask how everything's going with you. So what we're talking about is Sherm's wife is on the PUP list right now. Pup list being an NFL term physically unable to perform list. When you have a child, there's. It's eight weeks.

[Sherman Young]

Eight weeks.

[Will Compton]

Some. You know, you might hear like a six to eight weeks. And then the Papa Team Sixers kind of push the boundary for that six.

[Sherman Young]

As we do, as we always.

[Will Compton]

But wife is on the PUP list for eight weeks.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Meaning it's just you, yourself and your hand or whatever you're into.

[Sherman Young]

Whatever you're in.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

We don't judge.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. We don't judge.

[Sherman Young]

Goomb. We're not judging.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. And you're kind of on a lonely feeling because, you know, boys got needs.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But you got to swallow that pride, you know, because your wife has to heal.

[Sherman Young]

Absolutely. And it's. It's going to align perfectly with Baylor Auburn weekend. So if Baylor catches that w. I know the perfect way to celebrate.

[Will Compton]

So she. She's. She comes off PUP list in a.

[Sherman Young]

In a few weeks.

[Will Compton]

Two weeks.

[Sherman Young]

Two weeks.

[Will Compton]

Two weeks. How's it been? How's it been going for. For the Papa Team Sixers out there or the dads that just had kids? They're kind of learning about the whole situation right now. Soon to be dads that might not understand that there's this eight week protocol where ain't really no touchy, touchy, lovey, lovey.

[Sherman Young]

I've. I've gone into a place where I no longer feel I'm almost numb, if that makes sense.

[Will Compton]

It does.

[Sherman Young]

Taylor on the other day in the office goes, y' all were, you know, razzing me for something. And he said, oh, yeah, Sherman didn't do that. And I said underneath my breath, you know what else Sherman hasn't done? He goes, what? I leaned in, I go, come. And he goes, for real? I go, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Emptied the clip.

[Sherman Young]

Emptied the clip. Have yet to do it, but that's okay.

[Will Compton]

Good.

[Sherman Young]

So you've lowkey been gooning oh, yeah, in my mind. Well, really, I mean, it's been, it's been a minute. Not to be tmi, but like, it's been a minute. Yeah, it's been, it's been, it's been a month.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. I. I personally, like, it's hard to navigate because I'll get a little, you know, I'll get a little restless.

[Sherman Young]

We all do.

[Will Compton]

The semen. Team six are in me. Get a little. Gets a little restless.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The goomba ray in ya.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Serious. A sweetheart. Like again, I've said this joke before on this show. I know I'm busting with the boys, but it's like, I'll even tell her, just because one ride is broken down doesn't mean the whole theme park has to be shut down.

[Sherman Young]

Amen.

[Will Compton]

Like all I need. I'm telling you, it ain't gonna take long.

[Sherman Young]

You're acting like I'm asking you to cut your hand off.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I just need a little friction and a whisper in my ear and I'll be ready to go.

[Sherman Young]

I truly am. I'm to the point of numbness now.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Like there was that like four week stretch where I, I was waking up in the morning, I was like, you know, sun's out, guns out, dude, sun's out, guns out. Like you just kind of feel it. It's weird. And like you kind of, you're like, damn, I need it. And then after you get past that four week mark, now I'm kind of in this. Like, I've almost like you've gone to a higher plane transcended outside of your body. Like literally, Dr. Strange, like poked me and I came out and now I'm just like, was it Steve O? That was like I didn't come for a year on busing with the boys.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I think you might have said that.

[Sherman Young]

And he was talking about how he like his brain development was crazy from it. I kind of get it.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a weird thing to navigate because again, it's like your needs. I know for a man, like when you're like, if you're the husband or the dad, whatever, and your brain, it tells us that we are secondary to what the wife needs.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Talking from my own personal experience where it's like I would have these conversations in my head to where it's like, man, I want to ex, like, in a fun way, express, like, what my needs are. Because I do. Like, you know, we're all human beings. We all have our things, but you feel like you have to suppress or become secondary. So it's like trying to find those spaces to talk about, even in a fun way. And if nothing even happens, I'm just using this thing as an example.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Because even when your wife's pregnant and a lot of the needs, and it's like, again, you. You try to make yourself secondary because you want everything to be good with wifey, or you want to stay strong. You want to do all these things that you tell yourself to make. To do anything you can to make your wife feel comfortable.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And in turn, like, internally, the domino effect is it could snowball a little bit. And you don't know it's snowballing until the snowballs at the bottom of the hill or until you have a moment.

[Sherman Young]

Dude, now.

[Will Compton]

And I know we were going off that example, but I'm talking about in anything.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I'm talking about you communicating things that you might want out. This is outside the bedroom. Things that you might be feeling, wanting to talk about your long day. And there's a part of you that when. If your wife's talking about it or you kind of get a cold shoulder because there's a lot of hormonal things happening at the time. If you're like, in that. I'll just say the PT6ish mindset that we'll have, that. That dads will have, is to shell up or internalize. I do that.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

You don't want to hear from me. And you kind of hold it in. You can eat it for a few days, but at a certain point it comes out. It comes out and you'll lash. I don't know where I was going with that. But more so talking like, all these things are real things that happen.

[Sherman Young]

Yes. And I'll pick. I'll pick up from that. Jill has gotten very good at knowing when I come home and I get on the couch and I don't say a word, and so sorry. And I, like, get horizontal. She instantly knows he has something that he wants to talk about, but he's not talking about it. And so she's done a good job of being able to identify that and kind of be like, how was your day? Did anything happen at the office? Anything fun or, like, anything kind of frustrating? Do you have a stressful day? No, not really. Like, for the first, like, couple times that you.

[Will Compton]

Are you subconsciously doing this or are you intentionally, like, I'm gonna listen.

[Sherman Young]

It doesn't feel like subconsciously. Absolutely. There is a part of me, because I'm just stewing on whatever I'm stewing on. So I'm not even picking up on the fact that I came in, kiss my wife, said, hey, and then plopped on the couch and didn't say anything for 30 minutes. And if you know me, and you're like, hey, Sherman hasn't said anything in an hour, 30 minutes, and I'm not sitting at my computer and editing, you.

[Will Compton]

Would be like, oh, a thousand percent.

[Sherman Young]

What's going on with shirt? Yeah. So there's that. And then the other thing I was going to say is the signs are leaning towards some good stuff, dude. Some good stuff here. In two weeks, wifey's like, hey, what are you doing so far away from me in bed? Let's cuddle a little bit. God, it's been a minute since I've heard that. Because when she's pregnant. Hey, don't. That's too much pressure.

[Will Compton]

Uncomfortable. Absolutely. It's like they'll have to move around every couple minutes because they're trying to get comfortable so they can fall asleep a hundred percent.

[Sherman Young]

And so I just naturally, like, haven't been doing that a whole lot lately. And now I'm hearing the like, are you gonna cuddle with me or what? And I'm like, okay.

[Will Compton]

Oh, you talking about cuddles? Are we cuddling? Are we cuddle?

[Sherman Young]

Cuddling? Like, okay. She had a glass of wine the other night right before bed. I don't want to put too much out there, but that's a good sign, for sure.

[Will Compton]

It fires me up for her because it's like, women go through postpartum, and it's. It's such a transition. Because I know, like, just listening to my wife, you. You feel like you lose yourself because you have to care for this little child. And the mother nature that kicks in is like, everything is about the child.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Even if they're intentionally trying to be in the partnership, in the marriage and everything else. But it's like. It's like. It sounds like she's starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel a little bit. Because my wife would just. She just gets so fired up, she'll step on the scale, losing weight, feeling better, feeling like they want to exercise, like, getting back to what made them them. Because it's like you're carrying a kid for. I mean, it's nine months, but really, in reality, it's like 10 months. They're carrying a kid.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Then you got the postpartum, all the hormones going on. It's pretty much a year's time since they've been their. Their full self. And they, like, lose their identity. They gain another one that they love and appreciate and enjoy.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

But when they remember who they were before the kid and they start to feel it a little bit. Oh, let's have a glass of wine. Hey, you're not cuddling me. You're a little far away. It's like they're coming back to life. So that fires me up.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, dude. It got me juice. Like, last night, she was. She was actually having a shower wine, which I won. That's a move.

[Will Compton]

A shower wine. Just a glass of wine. In the shower.

[Sherman Young]

In the shower.

[Will Compton]

Are we talking.

[Sherman Young]

Taking her. Taking her time too long. Shower.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And then I came back in and she was putting on a little. The tanning lotion. She's very excited for Taylor's today. We're filming this on Friday. Taylor's having, like, a little pool bash. Yeah, she's very excited for that. And I was like, oh, we're putting on a little tan stuff all. And she was like, yeah. I'm just like. I don't know. I'm just kind of, like, feeling myself. I'm excited to, like, you know, get out of the house. And I'm, like, getting in front of the mirror and, you know, just kind of doing my thing. And it's fun to see. I love exciting pt6. Dads everywhere. Huge news. It is I, Sherman, coming to you from Will Compton's seat to announce a merch drop [e-mail]. that's right, bwtb.com we have brand new hoodies. You may have seen this hoodie on some of our thumbnails. It's available now. Says dad across the front. Nice comfy pockets on the sleeve. Bwtb. It's got a great hood. Whether you're going to the game, taking the kiddos to the park, you're going to stay nice and warm this fall. And if you want some office decor, you want to rep the dads, maybe at the office pennants for the first time in bus in history. Some for the dads. Pennants, guys. Great quality. They're nice and thick. They got these nice little rings right here that you can hang it. Some say old Willie, one shelf would struggle with this.

These are coming from the northeast, so make sure to check that out. We have these awesome pennants. We have this hoodie all on BWTV.com that dropped today, so click that link.

[Will Compton]

Guys, we got to keep it under.

[Sherman Young]

We have to keep it under an hour. Can I read one more comment because it's a good 100.

[Will Compton]

It's a PT sixer, it's a PT.

[Sherman Young]

Six er and it's a milk team Sixer. This one comes from Anna Withrow. Her husband is a big fan of busing with the boys and now for the dads, she said, as I am subscribed to both as well. My husband is the director of equipment for the Razorbacks. Our first daughter was born during fall camp. She's a week old. Good, she said. As Will knows, nine, arguably 10, 10 years in the league. There's zero downtime during season. Needing advice to get through the trenches for the both of us. Love the pod. And she provided a great picture. I put it in our credits of dad in his Woo Pig Suey stuff and he's just passed out next to baby girl.

[Will Compton]

So is Dad a coach?

[Sherman Young]

He's the director of equipment for the Razorbacks.

[Chef Jack]

Oh, unsung heroes.

[Will Compton]

Oh yeah. Buddy and I you think players and coaches and they put in work equipment managers, bro. Especially them gas.

[Sherman Young]

Oh yeah.

[Will Compton]

But they're there all hours of the.

[Sherman Young]

Day and, and the Razorbacks aren't a two uniform team.

[Will Compton]

Right. And there's no like, you know, I'd imagine if you're a coach. And again, I don't know because I haven't been in the coaching world but witnessing the coaches that I've had, like if there's a moment like kids like you, you have a little bit more not autonomy but a little bit more control of your schedule. You're still putting in a shitload of hours. Yeah. But if you're an equipment manager, if you're these equipment guys, like there's no, there's no like say or any control like you were there. There's no asking. There's no yes. If you have a great head coach, maybe he'll give you some time off or work with you a little bit. But those equipment dudes are there all day long.

[Sherman Young]

Even getting the guys prepped.

[Will Compton]

Getting everything prepped.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Getting workout clothes prepped. Getting your practice stuff prepped. Dealing with all the sweat and the airing out the shoes and the shoulder pads and the helmet after practice. Getting all the loops and the laundry. They're there doing laundry all night, getting the laundry, getting that cycle through, setting out their workout clothes for the next morning, setting out their practice pads and shoes for the next day. Around and around and around.

[Sherman Young]

Shout out, My cousin George, he was an equipment manager, I think just one year at tcu.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

But yeah, they're thinking about that now. I'm just like, oh my.

[Will Compton]

They grind.

[Sherman Young]

No wonder he did it for only.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And being a full time student.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah. Would you say psychotic hours, Would you.

[Sherman Young]

Say that's arguably harder than being a student athlete? Athlete being a student equipment manager.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, why not? It's like you're, you're putting your energy and time into something. Some guys who are doing the equipment stuff, they might not necessarily wanting to be doing it.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

So I'm assuming in their brain it's like even more. It feels even more like work. Whereas being a student athlete, like, there's a lot of you got to do because you're, again, you're a student, you're going to school, you're getting all 12 hours, 12, 15 credited hours. And then you're also trying to pour into something that you could hopefully do one day. As a profession, there's aspects that are fun, but it is a very like physically and mentally hard thing to do. But it's like if you, if you're in a dude, if you're a student and you're also a full time worker, like, you're grinding your ass off.

[Chef Jack]

And also like some people want to do front, they do it because they want an end to front office stuff and sports. There's a lot of people who do it, especially a D1 call, like a college. Like all the guys at Tennessee, they do it because they love the program.

[Will Compton]

Right.

[Chef Jack]

So you're putting.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Chef Jack]

You don't get paid a lot. You're working insane. I had a buddy who did it. You work insane hours, but it's just because you love that team and you want to be a part of it in some way and you're not on the field and a lot of times you don't get the praise, but it's like that's a huge part of that operation.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you could sit here and we could do the whole comparison game, but it's.

[Will Compton]

Your hardest thing that you're doing is my hardest thing that I'm doing because you're pouring into it.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

You know what I mean?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Even with this stuff, it's like Chef grinds his dick off, he dies to edit and do all the things. And not only that, but improve on the skills that he's working on and also try to find new creative ways. He's also trying to think like we are. Hey Will and Sherm. Like this, we're thinking of all of our. We're doing our day to day. You're at home with the kid. Like balancing work and life in my world where I'm not behind a computer editing all day. Like my heart is still hard. But it's like you're sitting here. It's like you're. I don't know. It's like I think if you're somebody who grinds every day with work, with life, and you're trying to learn how to balance it all. Like, you're doing as hard a thing as everybody else is doing.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Taking out compensation, taking out what's more physically grueling, you know what I mean? Because at the end of the day, you're constantly trying to challenge yourself to be better. And doing that is fucking hard.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Because doing what chef is doing now for those, like, first two weeks, like, really before we had Chef, like pumping out this stuff with us.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

I now am in my situation, I'm not having to do all that stuff, but now I'm in the situation I'm in. And to your exact point, I'm like, man, this is hard, dude. It's not. It's not impossible, but it does have, like, it's challenges. We kind of talked about that before the episode last week of just. You feel like you're so spread thin that you're letting everybody down.

[Will Compton]

Right. But that's why you got to be intentional.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

It's like she was asking for advice with the head equipment manager and they're have that. A one week old.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. A two week old, I guess.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. It's honestly, it's just make sure you guys are communicating. You guys are able to anticipate each other's schedules.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

If dad is away because he's grinding his dick off being an equipment manager and that's the life that is chosen between you two, then it's wife just needs to. Dad needs to ask the question, what do you need from me throughout the day.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

So he's not guessing. And wife needs to clearly communicate the expectations, the things that she would love and enjoy with also the empathy of, okay, I might not be able to reach him here. I might not be able to reach him at this point, dad needs to think the same way. You guys just need to be on the exact same page. So that way you guys can anticipate. Anticipate what each other, what each other needs. And then you just got to know that this structure that we're putting together were the pain points. When is it going to be hard and life is just going to be.

[Sherman Young]

Hard and knowing the busy season.

[Will Compton]

Right.

[Sherman Young]

Like being great by her already identifying. I mean, obviously football season's the busy season.

[Will Compton]

Right.

[Sherman Young]

But she's like, hey, this is going to be hard for both of us. She did use us. Like, what is some advice for us?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And I'll say he's the.

[Will Compton]

Because dad has to know that when he's working and thinking in his brain. Because here's what. Here's what dad or males will do, especially coming from the generations before us, is we. We justify us working. We're wanting to put food on the table. We want to be the protector, the provider, all these things to provide security at home. So then when a dust up happens at home, verbally, it's like, dad's defending what he does all day long. Mom's defending what she does. It's. It's like, no, you got to get that shit out of the equation. It's. You guys got to both know that you're pouring in an insane amount of value for the family. As long as you two are on the same page, that is what matters. Dad has to know. Hey, I'm at work, sweetheart. You got to tell me what you need from me. Dad also has to be super curious and intentional. Hey, what do you. What do you need? Yes, as well. So it all goes both ways, bro. It's not about staying strong for each other. It's about just staying connected.

[Sherman Young]

Curious is a great word. And that's a great bit of advice. That little text that I don't remember every single day to send, but when I do send to Jill of, hey, I'm thinking about lunch. Have you eaten yet? Blah, blah, blah, no, and I'm starving. I would love to get lunch, right? Just that, like, hey, I'm thinking about you. I'm thinking about your needs. Because she's nap trapped at home with.

[Will Compton]

A little scarlet 1000%. And then if wife's like, hey, could you just respond? It's like, yo, I'm at work. I'm doing this, I'm doing that. No, dad, you also gotta be empathizing and being conscious of what mom's going through at home. Because think about any dad who spent a weekend or day were there with the kiddo by themselves. Like, it's like you're, you know, if you're talking to your wife, wondering what's going on, and nobody's like, checking in or tapping into you, it's just like, oh, people think I'm just watching the kiddos. Like, I just got some easy work because I'm just chilling at home with the kids. Like, no, those parents that have kids know that is a grind.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And mom's not getting out of the house. Especially if you got a young one. You got a young one in those first few months. Like, you're at home most of the time.

[Sherman Young]

Two weeks. I mean, that is every three hours on the dot on the dot, that little girl or boy is going to be hungry and it's gonna let you.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Milking, pumping. Even if you're not doing that. The hormone. Everything that's going on, your entire mind is around the life of this little being at all times. And there's no deviating because you are the vessel that this kid comes from.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

You can't just leave the kid on his own at all. Like, they need constant nurturing and attention. You hope you get a great amount of three hours whenever you have those three breaks. But you're tied. You're tied to having to do it.

[Sherman Young]

And if you do lay them down and they're snuggle me and they do fall asleep, you're like, oh, my God.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Otherwise it's only right there on mom or right there on dad that they'll even get sleep.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. And the dads that do work grueling hours that when you do come home, you should. In your mind, you just got to think when that garage door opens up. All right, I'm about to go in. Good. How can I take whatever load is going on from my wife?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

So she knows I can trust this dude to kind of operate on himself, to operate by itself. Because even. Even when mom hands the baby over, it's like they know everything they want to do in their brain and they're trying to trust that you can do the same. So they can actually remove themselves and just go do whatever they need to do. You want to go do laundry. You want to go take a walk. You want to go get a coffee. You want to go do X, Y and Z. Have the freedom knowing dad's back home. He's a PT6er. I don't have to worry about it.

[Sherman Young]

It. That would be to the director of equipment of Arkansas. That would be my biggest piece of advice is know when you get home. Because that's so true. Jill has her checklist because she loves keeping a tidy house. Dude, that is her love.

[Will Compton]

Charles the same way she wants a. Not as much mine, but that Charles mine at all.

[Sherman Young]

But Jill wants a happy home. She wants a home that smells good.

[Will Compton]

Looks good, counters are cleaned off.

[Sherman Young]

Yes. Candles are lit. And so just know Director of equipment. I don't know his name. I know his wife's name. But when you come home, your wife probably has that checklist in her head exactly like you said. And when you take baby that frees her to then all this stuff that's been sitting on her head all day that she couldn't do because she was trying to hold baby, now she has the freedom to go do it. The amount of pressure that is going to come off of her when you allow her to operate in what she wants to get done, dude, is going to be great for both of you guys. Not only her, but you as well. Because then you're going to be able to to really sit there and enjoy the moment together. Once she is knocked out of her list.

[Will Compton]

And if you have to ask a question, okay, when do I do this or what do I do here? Just simply, this is a little data hack switch. The what or when, why, where, whatever with remind me, hey, remind, remind me the time. Remind me the time she last ate because you should know the every three hour mark if you have a newborn. Yeah, yeah, Remind me the last time she ate versus hey, when does she need to eat again? Or hey, remind me what she had for lunch. Hey, before I go check the fridge, remind me what we have in there for potential dinner. So that way it's just like they're reminding. It's not, hey, what do I need to do? And they're just thinking, man, I wish you knew just a little bit more.

[Sherman Young]

Dude, that's what I'm talking about. We. Hey, this is good. This little back and forth.

[Will Compton]

I like to envision Palpatine 6 are sitting at the TV. Oh, don't forget this one. And somebody says like, yes, yes, yes, that too.

[Sherman Young]

You just went like four for four on stuff that. Because, I mean, Scarlett is six weeks, but she's not that far ahead of a two week old.

[Will Compton]

Again, we're not experts.

[Sherman Young]

We're not experts. But everything that you're hitting on, I'm like, God, I wish I knew that at the beginning because it's so true. And Jill and I have had those conversations of like, if you're at home and Will Compton texted you at 9:00pm do you know how fast you would reply to that text? Because it's work. It's work. This might be important. That's my boss. Yeah, bro, like I got to answer that, but I'm on home time.

[Will Compton]

And gentlemen, gentlemen. These conversations come about like what this situation or hypothetical that Sherm's talking about. These conversations come up when it's getting toward the breaking point.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Because as, as men, we don't know until it's being said to us. And then we're just thinking, if you'd have just told me. But it's like, listen, this is just some game to be aware of so you don't get to win, you ask too many, what. When do I do this? How do I do this? Because in time, in a couple weeks time, when it gets to that breaking point, you guys are having a big conversation. That's when those things are coming up. It's like, sweetheart, when you ask me, what do I do this, when do I do that? And your wife's kind of giving you a talking to a little bit. That's when it's starting to click a little bit in your mind that she's putting you in her shoes. But now it's got. It's gotten so far to where your guard might be up and you might be a little defensive to where you don't want to handle the conversation that well. These are things to just be aware of before they happen and be willing.

[Sherman Young]

To have an open mind that when Jill does bring up the great point of if Will did text me at.

[Will Compton]

9 o', clock, because that's a.

[Sherman Young]

That's a good one about something important, I would want to reply very quickly because I want to show Will I'm on top of it. I care. I'm a good employee. I'm not lazy. His time is important to me. He took the time to text me. I'll text him back. And she goes, flip that you're at work. I text you something important. And I, you know, not that she's.

[Will Compton]

Wanting, like, your wife's texting you, not your boss.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Is your marriage important? Is getting back to the family important? Are you having the same urgency that tells her, I got it Crazy.

[Sherman Young]

I care.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Yes. And she. Well said. And she's not like, I want to text back in five minutes. She knows I'm busy.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

But if I did ghost her, like, all day, she would feel some type of way, Right? Just like you would if you texted me something important and I ghosted you for like, yeah. 12, 18 hours. Like, you're kind of like, like, yo, sure question. Like, knowing you, you'd probably just, like, emphasize it.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. You're spot on.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, I'm here.

[Will Compton]

You're spot on because it'll be the same thing. Like, charl, text me something I have, don't respond till I get home. She's like, I texted you.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

He's like, if this would have been so and so. That's a great point.

[Sherman Young]

Great question by the wife.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, great question. Great question, by the way.

[Sherman Young]

I have.

[Will Compton]

I. Listen, I know we got to keep it under an hour, so I have three more little quick comments that I can rattle off. Go ahead and Then we can get into the. To the meat and potatoes of the episode.

[Sherman Young]

Cheers.

[Will Compton]

Cheers, bro.

[Sherman Young]

Hey. Cheers.

[Will Compton]

Cheers.

[Sherman Young]

Shout out, Anna. Shout out, Anna.

[Will Compton]

[Sherman Young]

Oh, sled dog.

[Will Compton]

Noah Earl Jackson. PT6 just got my shirt. I'll be tagging the boys in two weeks when my baby girl gets here. Guys, if you want to support the boys, you want to rock Papa Team 6. Papa Team 6 merch or for the dad's merch. BWTB.com that is where you get the merch. That's how you can tag us. That is how you can share. That is how you can wear the merch proud. Knowing that you're. You're a PT6er.

[Sherman Young]

And what do you have on top of your head right there, Will?

[Will Compton]

A hat, Sherman. Why do you ask? What?

[Sherman Young]

I believe one of our new hats.

[Will Compton]

Yes. The black and white for the dad's hat. Little patch up top. This is a newer hat. We have them in this color. They've been sitting in that color. We. We have them also in the black and white. And you were saying?

[Sherman Young]

I'm wearing a visor right now. We also have a same visor over here with different color scheme.

[Will Compton]

So funny.

[Sherman Young]

The visors on the inside, they got the little teddy bears standing up.

[Will Compton]

Oh, no.

[Sherman Young]

And the little for the dad's patch on the inside too.

[Will Compton]

I love that.

[Sherman Young]

So any PT6 sickos that, like, you.

[Will Compton]

Know, you're a visor guy.

[Sherman Young]

I'm a huge visor.

[Will Compton]

Like me, I don't think I'd be wearing that.

[Sherman Young]

And they're.

[Will Compton]

I'd wear it for Papa Team 6. That's not my style.

[Sherman Young]

And I put. I put the feelers out there, G. Our head of merch was like, hey, put it. Put a tweet out. Just see.

[Will Compton]

And you had enough sickos. They wanted a few.

[Sherman Young]

There were some sickos, dude. There was some sick. I think we had like nine or ten. Like, definite, like, yo, that's gas. But one sicko filmed his desk. He had like nine golf visors. He was like, I'll add it to the collection. But this exact same logo, we will also be putting on a hat. Chef off camera, is actually wearing said hat. We want to tease that at a Later time. Yep. We want to tease it at a later time, but Chef looks good.

[Will Compton]

Chef looks good.

[Sherman Young]

And it's a great hat for semen Team Sixers.

[Will Compton]

Just, hey, take a photo of Chef right now. So that way you can just shoot him the. Shoot him the. The photo to put in during the episode. And this hat is badass. This one is one that maybe you're not a father yet, and you just.

[Sherman Young]

You.

[Will Compton]

You're about the brand, but it's got the little. You guys see the photo? The little bear with the. With the whiskey with the cigar in his mouth? Yeah. That exact emblem that Sherm's wearing.

[Chef Jack]

We'll tease it. We're gonna do a different color than the one I'm wearing right now.

[Will Compton]

I do like that color.

[Chef Jack]

We can also do this color, but we have.

[Will Compton]

Well, as long as I can just have that one off your.

[Chef Jack]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[Will Compton]

I'll just. With you.

[Sherman Young]

Do you like the green? Just really quick.

[Will Compton]

I like the green. I. I'm like. I love the colors. Like, fall colors, earthy colors.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, I like the green too. Can we do the green and the other two colors that you were.

[Chef Jack]

That's what I. I think this hat's good enough to where we can do a couple different colors.

[Will Compton]

White's gonna be badass.

[Chef Jack]

The white.

[Will Compton]

White is for sure gonna be badass. And it's more universal. Yeah, just a couple more. So the social media. I know every week we talk about YouTube comments, but again, just to not leave out the social media people out there, Nick Giles, number one, shout out to you being a new father, brother Nick Giles, he said. And I shared this comment. Thanks, Will. The pot has been amazing to listen to. The whole family listens now. And thank you for the honesty about situations. You wish. Better. I. I know it makes all of us dads feel normalized when we do the same. Love and appreciate you boys. And then another one from WES W. Underscore Murray, 21. You saw the X ray?

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Broke my toe on night duty tripping over my wife's shoes. Good.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

And see, that's one again. I used the bookmark because I hadn't engaged with it yet. So he's probably wondering, like, damn the boy. See this? You probably. You do a great job responding to everything, dude.

[Sherman Young]

I DM'd him, and he said, best part was he said, wife told me to stop faking it and get our daughter to sleep. So in true PT6 fashion, yes. I got her back to sleep, taped my toe to the other one, and then got some sleep. Have to go back next week or so to get a pin put in.

[Will Compton]

Oh, my God.

[Sherman Young]

Let's go, Wes.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, let's go. I love that. The X ray. Oh, I. I love to think about too, when he just wanted to show the wife the X ray and he's.

[Sherman Young]

Just like, hey, quit faking it.

[Will Compton]

What are you doing? Yeah. Hey, Wes. What'd you say to her? What'd you call her? I broke my toe.

[Sherman Young]

[Sherman Young]

Yes. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

You got to keep it under an.

[Chef Jack]

Hour running really good right now. I'll be really quick here. This is from YouTube. I saw this, by the way.

[Will Compton]

People listening. This is Chef jack, captain of semen team six.

[Chef Jack]

I wear that honor proudly. This is Forrest Dobbs, 1931 Cap Jack. Man, I think I might have been one of the people you grabbed after Austin P. LMAO season ticket holder since 2019. So this is a throwback to last week where I talked about probably one of my most embarrassing moments as a Tennessee Volunteer fan where we were leaving Neyland Stadium and I was coming to grips that Joe Milton was not a Heisman hopeful and that we might be regressing from the year prior with Hin and Hooker, where we had an awesome offense, Dolphins.

[Will Compton]

And tell. Tell everybody what you were telling me, that your girlfriend was. Yes, it was how she was breaking it down.

[Chef Jack]

So I called the. My wonderful girlfriend Alex after who's with me?

[Will Compton]

Still with you?

[Chef Jack]

Still with me.

[Will Compton]

Oh yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Sorry.

[Will Compton]

Thank you, Alex.

[Chef Jack]

Basically I. I was like, well, I told the story and I kind of said, you know, I kind of the gist of what we said on the episode, she goes, baby, it was way worse than that. She was like you were grabbing 70 year old men and screaming what the are we doing? As I was leaving Nealon and yeah. So Forest, I want to. I want to give you a sincere apology. I'm a passionate fan. That is unacceptable.

[Will Compton]

I love the fact too that Forest is listening to for the dads and.

[Sherman Young]

He'S like I think he's going, that's.

[Will Compton]

Some kid that grabbed my ass.

[Chef Jack]

I think I might force. It's unmistakable if it was me because you couldn't miss me if you tried.

[Sherman Young]

I.

[Chef Jack]

It was like I think we left like a couple minutes in the fourth quarter left. It was, you know, awesome. P. Beginning of the year we're trying to walk back but yeah, I think.

[Will Compton]

What we should do this will be an extra step. But we get a shirt.

[Sherman Young]

You.

[Will Compton]

You link up with Forest. Yeah. You get his information what size. You get a shirt shipped here. So that way you can personally ship.

[Sherman Young]

That's very nice.

[Will Compton]

You can personally ship something to him with the. With a note. Yeah. That just says my bad Forest force. I'm sorry Forest.

[Chef Jack]

You know what we can do. He's a season ticket holder. I will be in Knoxville for the Georgia game. I will get your contact if you guys. I'm sure if you're a season ticket holder, you have a your tailgate in G10 or something like that. If so please let me know. I will swing by. I personally deliver with the photo. Apology photo too. That's if you're up for it. I'll reach out to you.

[Sherman Young]

That's the general of semen team six right there.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

I don't want to air dirty laundry and I know that we're trying to keep it under an hour, but do you want to share that story that you remembered about said girlfriend that you are matching each other's energy.

[Chef Jack]

Yeah. So also to my Alex's credit she shout out story. Yeah, shout out.

[Sherman Young]

We love Alex.

[Will Compton]

Love you, Alex.

[Chef Jack]

Because she goes, well, don't forget that I've had my moments too. Because I was like that's so embarrassing. She we last year I brought her. We came back to Nashville for Tennessee was playing Arkansas and that's the same weekend Vanderbilt was playing Alabama and Vandy upset Alabama and we were at the tavern in midtown eating we could hear the stadium. And so we watched the fourth quarter in the Red Door saloon in Midtown. Shout out to. And Vandy won. And I'm not one to always root on Vandy. Shout out Cade McConnell, you know, shout.

[Will Compton]

Out the boy Cade McConnell. We love you, brother.

[Sherman Young]

Now.

[Chef Jack]

But we were pumped because you know Banalos. And I was like, oh, this is so great. We're gonna kick the out of Arkansas and Alabama just lost and then we lost to Arkansas and we're sitting in that bar. That's a Vandy bar. It's a Vandy student bar.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Chef Jack]

And people are coming back and they're starting to filter in and they're hammered and people are starting to say stuff to us because we're an all orange. And finally this dude, I forgot what the exact words were. Came up and said some. And my girlfriend looked over and said, you better shut the up before I kick your ass. And I. In that moment, the pride built up inside me and I. But also I'm going, oh, now I call an Uber when we get out. I'm like, hey, baby, we gotta go. You know, getting her out of there. And she. We're both passionate fans, so I wish.

[Sherman Young]

They could have seen his face. I know they said that.

[Will Compton]

He like tells those story. He's like, we're passionate fans. Oh, you could just tell deep in.

[Sherman Young]

His soul, the balls don't play.

[Will Compton]

The balls don't play.

[Sherman Young]

To quote Chef, don't start with that shit.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, hey, don't start with that shit.

[Chef Jack]

Also, she probably didn't. I don't know if an F bomb was in there. I don't want to say speak for her, but of course she's. I'm gonna hear that.

[Will Compton]

That's cool. Graphic. Shut the up before I beat your.

[Sherman Young]

Ass from lovely woman. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Crack a cold one. Survival kid. Dad hag hotline. Listen, my correct, my cracker cold one is simply going to be Rue going to school. Very emotional week for your boy this week.

[Sherman Young]

Back to school.

[Will Compton]

Back to school. That's why we have these school supplies here. A little bit of coffee. Not to shut up her end. But. But no free shout outs to Perrin. Got a nice little coconut cloud Americano that I enjoy and stood in line for a pretty long time.

[Sherman Young]

Shout out chef, on the decor.

[Will Compton]

The decor, Chef. The decor, chef. We got the back to school supplies. But it was a back to school. It was a first time to school week for your boy.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And Rue went to school on Wednesday and dropping her off. And it's a very weirdly Happy sad stage.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Because. And there's also, just to give you guys some more context on it being like an emotional week. My, the day she went to school for the first time was also. It would have been my mom's 61st birthday.

[Sherman Young]

You're kidding.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah. So had all the feels going on.

[Sherman Young]

What a day.

[Will Compton]

Was fired up because Rue was so excited to go to school. And dude, it's like we're sitting there prefacing. She goes to, she goes to like where it's like there's three to five year olds. So she's in this, she's in this classroom. It's kind of like a pre K type primary school. And prepping her to go to school because the teachers and stuff are telling us that we can't get out of the car to like hug her, kiss or tell her goodbye because you got to keep the line going. I'm now in the school lines and experiencing that for the first time, but we can't get out of the car. So two days prior, we're running her through. Dad has run her through on a very like, calm level. I don't want it to come off like sad. Like, hey, when we go there, you won't be able to hug mom and dad. I'm more just telling her, hey. Now when we go to school, here's how it's going to go down. We're going to give you hugs and kisses before we get in the car.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Then whenever we arrive, we'll give you three squeezes. I love you in the back before you get out.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Before you get Jack, the door almost slammed coming in here. Give you 1, 2, 3 squeezes before you get out. Teacher is going to get you, unbuckle you and get you out. And then when she pulls you out, we'll have the windows down and you'll just do hug, kiss, hug, hug, kiss. And then, you know, say bye.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And we're prefacing her for that for like a couple days just to get her ready because we don't know if she's going to cry. We don't know if she's going to be sad. You know, we don't know if we're going to be sad. And we pull up, dude. And she's excited. And then when the teacher opens the door, you can tell her shyness and nerves are kind of kicking a little bit like as she's getting unbuckled. Teachers trying to engage with her, huh? And we're getting under the squeezes. Rue gets out and the teacher Says, like, we're gonna go on a little walk today. Or the kids don't know it, but we're gonna get to do X, Y, and Z today. And Rue kind of lights up, starts talking to her. Rue gets out of the car and say, bye, Mama, dad. Hug, hug. Go be great today. And then ends up walking, bro. And I'm watching her walk down the sidewalk, going into school, and water fills my eyes because it's just like. I don't know, like, in my brain. It's like. Now that she starts the chapter of school, even though it's not, like, real, it's not, like, technically real school. Like, they're going. They play a lot. They do all these different things, but it's like this chapter, this phase goes until the end of high school, the end of college.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, dude.

[Chef Jack]

Yeah. Now.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, Now. Yeah. Like, yeah, for the rest of time. And just watching her handle herself. Shy, a little reserved, but confident. Once she got out and going to class. Cuz we start rolling off, and then we end up breaking. Kind of like looking back because we hear a kid screaming. I thought it was rude for a second. You hear a kid screaming. The teacher's like, God, I'm like, kind of halfway out of the car. They're like, hanging on. Hanging.

[Sherman Young]

No.

[Will Compton]

And these are probably moments for parents that you're just like, you hope that they handle it well. You're also sad because it's like, is she gonna feel alone when she's in there? Is she gonna end up telling the teacher, like, I miss Mama and Dad. Dad. And you just think of them being alone, afraid, not knowing what to do. Like, these are the internal battles I feel like the parents deal with. And you think of these situations even though it's, like, not reality. Then you flip, like, oh, they're gonna crush. They're gonna do this and that. And then you. We get home, Charles. Charles was sobbing in the car. I'm like, you all right, sweetheart? Give her a hug. I'm like, don't worry. I have some tears in my eyes, too. She looks over, I got water fill in the eyes. And it's just. It's just cool because you're excited, but you're also sad because they're just growing up.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And Rus saw Mom teared up before she got out of the car. She said, why are you sad, Mama? And I'm like. I'm like, hey, sweetheart, we got it. We got to be hype. We don't want to. We don't. We don't want her to be nervous at all. And I'm like, hey, sweetheart. You know every pizza Friday when we drive and go get pizza and come back? And I said a couple of times, that makes me happy and sad that you're growing up. And she. When we're in the car, she will just say out loud, dad, dad, you sad? I'm like, why would I be sad? She's like, because I'm growing up. I'm like, yeah, you know, dad is both happy and sad because you're growing up, but I want you to stay my little girl forever. So I'm going back to her and just like, oh, mama's sad, but she's also really happy because this is like, you're going to school, so you're just growing up. You're becoming such a big girl and all this stuff, but. Charles sobbing a little bit, I'm crying a little bit. And you just kind of have that moment. You drive home, we got Scotty, or 9 month old in the. In the car seat. We take her out and go inside. I'm getting ready to go to the shop, and I'm like, well, I guess I'll. I'll go into work. It's. It's like eerily quiet.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Because Rue's just, you know, you got a little toddler, like, they're on 10 the whole time. They want to play. They want you to watch them. They want your attention. They want all these things. Now it's just Scotty kind of crawling around on the carpet, and you're kind of just sitting there.

[Sherman Young]

Well, Rue's a confident toddler, too.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rue's a confident toddler. And you're.

[Sherman Young]

She commands the space.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. But it's just, it's. It's weirdly quiet and it's like, man, this is. This is how it goes. And then I think in my brain, this is how you start thinking about having another kid to fill.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

The space. You know what I mean?

[Sherman Young]

Yes, I know.

[Will Compton]

I don't know how to explain it, but it was a very. It was an emotional week for your boy. And I just thought it was really cool that there was like a. Coincidentally, it was also my mom. It would have been my mom's 61st birthday.

[Sherman Young]

And your mom was a teacher, Correct?

[Will Compton]

My mom was a teacher.

[Sherman Young]

That's even more. When you first said that, I was like, that's even more. Just the universe, man. That's awesome.

[Will Compton]

My mom was a teacher and then was a principal for a Catholic school. Yeah, my mom was a beast, dude. You know, I Obviously always get sad thinking about her, but she was a. She was awesome. She would have been so obsessed with Rue.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. I. I want to say this to you because I love you. She'd be really proud of you.

[Will Compton]

Don't. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

[Sherman Young]

I know.

[Will Compton]

Come on, now. I was just doing a good job talking about her being a beast and don't. I don't want these. You know, if you've watched Busting with the Boys, you know how emotional it makes me talking about my mom. But I, I. I feel the same. I feel the exact same sentiment, bro. I do.

[Sherman Young]

Let's go. Dude, I was crying last night. I was looking at.

[Will Compton]

I kind of see some water in your eyes right now.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, dude. Cuz I just. You're. You're. You're a good guy. You're a good guy. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I love you, bro.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. I was looking at pictures of Scarlett last night. I started crying. She's so much bigger. I'm like, dude, what the hell?

[Will Compton]

I know, man.

[Sherman Young]

I was looking at pictures of her in her first week, and she's like this little thing, and now she's got cheeks and, like, a double chin. I'm like, what happened? I'm like, you said the crying, dude, the crying's totally different. She was. Everything that you keep on saying on this podcast keeps.

[Will Compton]

Mike.

[Sherman Young]

Sorry. Everything that you keep on saying on this podcast keeps coming true of just. Those cries in the first week are way up here. And now it's like. And I'm just like, oh, my gosh. She's, like, growing so fast. It's crazy, dude.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Chef Jack]

I don't think it stops either. My dad was emotional last weekend. I don't want to air out old John, but I just came back.

[Will Compton]

I love hearing that, and I don't know what the context is. So, again, if you don't want to error out John, that's fine. But I personally, I love it because there'll be a lot of times where I talk on. I speak on things where there's some things I wish, looking back, that I want to be better than what my dad was. And we always have long conversations now. And. And when I did my. The retirement podcast and he did a little video at the end, he's, like, talking through stuff and things that kind of make him emotional, but I love the masculine energy that feels their emotions and thinks about things that they wish they would have done differently, but they feel it so much that your guys's connection and your relationship is. It gets even better as you get older.

[Chef Jack]

100.

[Will Compton]

And they wish they would have been more intentional like when you're younger. Because it was a different era back back then.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But now it's like, it just. It. It gets better.

[Chef Jack]

Yeah. He's awesome. And he's a good. Like, he's not. He won't mind me talking about. Because he's proud. I'll quickly. He. I came back home for the summer. Parents are letting me stay with him while I kind of get on my feet. And Grant, my little brother, he's in college. And my dad was just.

[Will Compton]

They.

[Chef Jack]

Grant went back to school, and my dad was like, he didn't. They never thought that there'd be a time again after Grant left that we would all be home for an extended period, all under one roof.

[Will Compton]

Roof.

[Chef Jack]

And he was just like, one of those things where you don't. It's a. It was a good time. And he was just, like, coming to terms with. That's probably the last time that will ever happen for real. And he was just really glad that we had that time for the summer all together. And he was getting choked up over the phone while he was moving my little brother in. But he's. You know, That's.

[Will Compton]

That fires me up. Yeah, man.

[Chef Jack]

He's a beast.

[Will Compton]

Yes.

[Sherman Young]

A little shout out. You being a work dad as well as a dad at home. This guy came in this morning on a Friday. We were wishing each other Happy Friday, and he said, I got my first big boy check this week. First big boy check, he said. And, man, it feels good.

[Will Compton]

Let's go, man.

[Sherman Young]

I'm not even his boss, per se. And I was just fired up, dude. Just seeing that smile and just like, oh, that's awesome.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, smell the flowers, man. Yeah, 100% smell the flowers. I love that convo that you had with your dad, too. And I love that he broke down a little bit. We need more breaking down.

[Sherman Young]

We need more breaking down. My crack. A Cole one. I'll make this super quick. Auburn trip went great. Sherman. Did she wear the bow? Yeah, she wore the bow.

[Will Compton]

Did. Did you take any pictures? Just you and Scarlett?

[Sherman Young]

I maybe took. I maybe took a picture with Scarlet so that. But if Baylor beats Auburn, we're right there in front of Jordan Hare. And I said, good thing my girl's got her Auburn stuff on with her daddy from Baylor. Baylor's daddy.

[Will Compton]

Nice thinking. Nice.

[Sherman Young]

And I'll work the caption. I'll work the caption. But I'm posing there with her. We're in front of Georgia.

[Will Compton]

Put the Auburn logo on Her Baylor on you.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Scarlett took her first L Today. Scarlett took her first life.

[Sherman Young]

L took the first. Oh, I. I already sent it to y'. All. The. Her screaming and the Auburn dress.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

That was phenomenal.

[Will Compton]

All you needed.

[Sherman Young]

She hated the Auburn dress, and she legit had a blowout after the graduation ceremony to where I just. I was so happy. I go, honey, I think this calls for an outfit change. Threw that thing into those little trash bags that you carry around. Was so quick to throw that thing.

[Will Compton]

And I love to. That your. Your mindset as a father was. She's screaming because she hates the Auburn, and she had a blowout because she wanted an outfit change.

[Sherman Young]

She wanted an outfit change.

[Will Compton]

Good. Yeah, Good.

[Sherman Young]

It really was a good. I was so proud.

[Will Compton]

Oh, you should push it out. Let it run down your leg. Get it all over your clothes.

[Sherman Young]

Good. I. But, yeah, the. The whole crack. The whole crack of cold one. I don't know why I'm leaning back so much. Today was just being around family. We have a ton of family in Fort Worth. Jill has 26 first cousins. I have 16 first cousins, cousins. It's crazy. 16, 16. I thought I had a big family. Jill's got 26. It's nutso. And so we here in Nashville, we're just not around that family. And we got to be around a lot of them in Auburn. And, man, it was so much fun. Just, like, how much we were passing around Scarlet and just. Scarlet's being held by everybody.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

It felt like a vacation to some extent, because it's like, we're getting to be around Scarlett and, like, live life and do normal things, but I'm literally, like, in a restaurant with a cup, like, in my hand. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm not holding Scarlett. I'm looking over at Jill. She's eating her dinner. I was like, this is crazy. I look across the table, and Aunt Linda's bouncing Scarlett and. Oh, and Scarlett's, you know, just sitting there, loving it. I was like, oh, man, I miss. I miss family, but these moments are great.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

So that's. That's a.

[Will Compton]

That's a good. That's. I need another separate crack of cold one is just family and family members helping out to where both you and the wife aren't holding the baby.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Enjoying the moment.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Seeing your family enjoy the moment.

[Sherman Young]

Yep.

[Will Compton]

Like, oh, can I hold? Absolutely.

[Sherman Young]

I go, linda, do you want. You want to give her back? She goes, never. I said that. You go, girl.

[Will Compton]

I'd be holding. We're at the 4th of July, I'd be holding Scotty and I'd kind of like I'd find Caitlyn. And I just. Look, Kayla, I'd say, hey, Caitlyn. I said, Caitlyn is my brother Cody's girlfriend.

[Sherman Young]

Okay. Okay. Shout out Kate.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Shout out Caitlin. Shout out Caitlyn. Or just anybody like. Yeah, I haven't seen you hold her yet.

[Sherman Young]

She looks pretty cute.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, she's kind of fun. Here you go. I'm gonna go get a beer. Shout out Bud Light.

[Sherman Young]

Shout out Bud Light.

[Will Compton]

Shout out Bud Light.

[Sherman Young]

Shout out Papa.

[Will Compton]

Team six, dad loss. Not cleaning up the area and putting clothes in the laundry. So I had a moment the other night where Scotty, she's. Listen, people understand. Are starting to understand the lore of Scottzilla a little bit. I posted a couple videos on. It's real. She's all over the place, kid. Hey, hey, Scotty, no. And she'll look at me and kind of give me this, you know, this little evil grin where you just know she's gonna be trouble one day.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And she like looks over and grins and then like army crawls faster. That little toes, just dig that little buddy. We gotta put socks on her because she's got blisters on her. She's got blisters like on her feet from how she just repetition after rep.

[Sherman Young]

She's digging into the. You keep on pulling her back and she's like, all right, good.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Loves that plant J. Just over and over, she's crawling back to the plane. Anytime I listen, it's hard to beat somebody that refuses to quit. You realize she's not going to quit. You got to pick her up and move her somewhere else. But anyway, so the other night, I'm changing her into her pajamas and Scotty, again, she's a mover. I'm talking head, neck bridge. Head bridge. She's rolling over to the side and I got her. I'm like, scotty, no. To where I got to hold her down and hold her down to where she starts getting a little upset, like you are not moving. Then the minute I grab the leg again to try and hurry up and wipe and change her, diaper her, she's moving to the point to where I'm wiping her and say. Let's say I'm holding her like this. I'm wiping her and she's turning that way to where I'm holding her like this. To where she's neck bridging up so much. To where I got to keep going with her she's just upside down as I'm wiping her, trying to get to where she would kind of back roll over onto her stomach is how much she's, how much she's bridging.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

To where I have to, once I'm done wiping her, I have to pick her up, up and grab her neck to where I can lay her back down on her back.

[Sherman Young]

So she's almost doing a full scorpion.

[Will Compton]

Yes, a full scorpion.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. She's a little psycho, bro. And that's like the changing routine with her a little bit. She had a great one this morning where she kind of laid there and I was just encouraging her. That's how we do. That is how we change a diaper, kid. That is how we do it.

[Sherman Young]

That's clinical.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, that's clinic tape.

[Sherman Young]

Right?

[Will Compton]

That's, that's coaching tape right there. When I put, when I cut up some pieces together, that's going to be part of the film.

[Sherman Young]

That's when I'm showing an 8 month old how diaper chicken changes.

[Will Compton]

Go.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

One day when I'm a coach and I'm going over the A gap, your clips is going to cut in. This is how you keep a steady. This is how you stay poised, stay calm and let the game come to you.

[Sherman Young]

Dirty diaper just shoots up on screen. The full.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Full room of football players. Whoa.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. But anytime I take her clothes off, I throw them on just her little, her little sofa. Yes, Throw them on her little sofa. Because, you know, I'm a guy. I'm thinking maybe we'll wear, we will wear this again tomorrow.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Like we do when we take our clothes off. Put a little pile by the end of the day by the side of the bed. Might wear these socks, might wear these shorts. Might wear this shirt again tomorrow or sometime this week.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

So I toss them on the sofa. Scotty was, you know, in Scottzilla mode. So I left the diaper on. Like I, you know, I strapped it up but left it. I didn't put it in the trash can.

[Sherman Young]

Yep.

[Will Compton]

Clothes on the sofa. I go to sit down, get her in her sleep sack. She's having milk. We're having a good time. Charl and Rue come in because Charl, our Roo, always wants to give Scotty a hug and a kiss good night.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And here's where the loss comes in. Obviously I haven't set it up. I didn't clean up my mess.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I got the laundry on the sofa. I got the diaper on the thing. And Charles Like, I see you forgot to put the diaper in the pail again. It's two feet away. Two feet away. You know we got a diaper pail, right? Yeah, sweetheart, I know. We got. You know, I'm kind of chuckling. I'm like, ah, God, she was in Godzilla mode. And she's like, it's just right here. Did you put the butt bomb on her? Yeah, I'll put the butt bum on her. Well, let's get you just a reminder. The diaper pail. It's right there. Yeah, reach over. It's right there. And Rue's little candy ass.

[Sherman Young]

She. She joined Team Mom.

[Will Compton]

She joined Team mom because. Intro goes, I see you. Your favorite thing to do, Leave Scotty's clothes on the sofa. I don't know if she's gonna wear them again tomorrow, sweetheart. And then Scotty or Rue's little candy asks, dad, dad, you gotta put Scotty's laundry away. Walks in the closet, gets Scotty's laundry, goes in the closet, puts it in the hamper. And then Rue goes, dad, dad, the hamper is in the closet. Like, I know, sweetheart. Rue grabs the hamper and slides it out of the closet and says, this the hamper right here, Daddy, you gotta put the laundry in the hamper. I was like, hey, can you guys let Scotty have her milk and go to sleep? I don't need both of you up my ass right now.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, guess who bought that, Amber. Guess who knows where it is because he bought it and put it there.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, but Rue was on my ass. You know, Char's joking with me. She's on my ass. And then Rue's over here putting on a cl. Hey, Dada, here's the hamper. You got to put it in the hamper. I gotcha.

[Sherman Young]

And this is. This is why we talk about it. This is not a myth. We are not conspiracy theorists. A man can become outnumbered. It's a real thing.

[Will Compton]

It's a real thing.

[Sherman Young]

Why is Will so quiet at the party? They won't ask that, though. Yeah, they won't be asking that.

[Will Compton]

What happened? You used to have.

[Will Compton]

Much charisma I had three girls, three daughters.

[Sherman Young]

The hamper's in the closet. It's in the closet. Put it away.

[Will Compton]

Hey, Will. What you up to? The hamper's in the closet. What?

[Sherman Young]

Two feet away. Diaper in the two feet away. Okay. I don't have a dad loss this week and I don't have a motherfuck.

[Will Compton]

That's good.

[Sherman Young]

I have a new segment. I'll keep it quick. Under an hour.

[Will Compton]

Under an hour.

[Sherman Young]

This new segment is called the Trenches. It is where a dad loss then turns into a dad win. A crack.

[Will Compton]

A cold one where a loss meets the win.

[Sherman Young]

Where a loss meets the win. So if it's not a true definitive loss or a true definitive win, it is now the Trenches. Do we like it?

[Will Compton]

Love it.

[Sherman Young]

Love it. Okay.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, Love it.

[Sherman Young]

Good. My Trenches. Very first Trenches. To kick us off. I was actually tweeting about this last night. I. I sent you a video.

[Will Compton]

Yes, Scarlet. I hit the RT. I hit the retweet.

[Sherman Young]

That makes sense.

[Will Compton]

Love the PT6 when they're out there retweeting. Just throwing it out there.

[Sherman Young]

That makes sense because I saw it got like 100 likes. I was like, oh, that's a lot for a selfie video with my baby. I did not realize that you retweeted.

[Will Compton]

I got to get out in front of Papa Team six.

[Sherman Young]

We got to. We got to. Yeah. Scarlet couldn't poop. It'd been 24 hours. Dadaz took her on a walk. That's also. I'll segue that to save time. That's my dad hack evening walks. Just put her in that little wild bird.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

She passed out. And I'm like, man, what is the game plan going in tonight to get this little thing to poop? She didn't poop all night. She's fussing, not sleeping well, crying constantly. Jill had a day with her yesterday. Shout out, Jill. She put up.

[Will Compton]

Love you, Jill.

[Sherman Young]

Love you, Jill. She put up with Scarlett, like, having this poop up in her for probably, like, 18 straight hours of just, like, trying to figure it out. Burping her, you know, all the stuff doing the legs, pushing in and out. I did the evening walk. We thought her being vertical.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And kind of moving and stuff, that that would help. Nothing was helping. This morning, I finally get her for her seven o' clock feed, and I put that bottle in, dude.

[Will Compton]

And.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, my God. Seven o' clock of them. Seven of them. Just. It's like a subwoofer. I don't know how to describe it, other than your hands on a subwoofer.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And I was so proud, dude, because it's not like in that moment, like, you want the poop so bad. So you're just like, good.

[Will Compton]

Oh, good job, Scarlett. Good girl.

[Sherman Young]

Good girl. And then we get her out of her sleep sack, and I see on her onesie the brown stain already on the back, and I'm like, like, good job. I truly was like, good. Because I knew that she got it all out of there. Dude, we opened up that diaper. Holy, holy.

[Will Compton]

Good, good.

[Sherman Young]

I thought I knew what a dirty diaper was. There wasn't a single patch of white going the full length. The whole thing painted, like, with a paint roller. It was awesome.

[Will Compton]

I love that.

[Sherman Young]

So that was my. The trenches.

[Will Compton]

Great, great segment.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you.

[Will Compton]

Love the segment. Because again, if you do get caught in, like dad lost to, I just talk about the lost part. Cracker cold one could come out the other side. But I love how you brought it all together. Loss meets dub.

[Sherman Young]

Loss meets dub.

[Will Compton]

We can find another. I'll find it. We can find another phrase that ties it together, but I love the trenches segment.

[Sherman Young]

[Will Compton]

Survival kit will share the same one your dad Shout out Papa Sherm for sending the boys this book.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you dad.

[Will Compton]

The dad the Dad's Playbook Wisdom for Fathers from the Greatest Coaches of All Time by Tim Limbert with a forward by Steve Young. Yeah. Hall of Famer maybe future guest on for the Dads.

[Sherman Young]

That would be awesome. No relation. No relation.

[Will Compton]

But yeah, a bunch of quotes, a lot of things from again, the greatest coaches of all time.

[Sherman Young]

And it has like a fun little write up.

[Will Compton]

Bear Bryant. I just opened it up. Ooh yeah. Take those Little Rascals. Talk to them good. Pat them on the back, let them think they are good and they will go out and be the big and be the big guns. Biggins go out and they will beat the Biggins.

[Sherman Young]

Coach Paul Bear Bryant.

[Will Compton]

Coach Paul Bear Bryant probably didn't change a lot of diapers back in his era. Talk to the Little Rascals. They'll beat the Biggins. Pat them on the back, talk to them good. They'll beat the biggest coach.

[Sherman Young]

What does that mean? Good job. Good job, kid.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. I mean, I'm gonna change the diaper in my life. My wife handled it.

[Sherman Young]

I. My quote this week is actually from this book. It is very fun if you're a big quotes guy and there's like, a nice little forward at, like, the beginning of each chapter. I've only read the first chapter forward, and then I just started peeling through, like, all the quotes. But if you're just a sports guy in general or whatever, yeah, there's some really great quotes in the same fires. It's a fun read.

[Will Compton]

Shout out Papa Sherm for sending it to the boys.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you, dad. That was. That was very fun. Thoughtful. Very thoughtful.

[Will Compton]

That's so funny. The Bear Bryant. I'm, like, reading through that, and it's like, yeah, it sounds like a dad back then. I'm, you know, I'm breaking down Ruth's first day of school to my dad. I ended up calling that night, checking on him, catching up, and he's like, yeah, I remember when you guys went to school for the first time. I started laughing. I said, no, the hell you don't, bro. You ain't. You ain't think it's the school. He kind of sat there for two seconds. He goes, yeah, you're probably right. I didn't take you guys to school. And then he gave me the whole, I'm up before you guys were even awake. I'm driving to work before you guys are even. I'm like, I know. He's like, you know, I get home and I'm asking you about school. And I'm like, I know that. Like, it's just funny to me. You're trying to, like. I remember dropping, you know, seeing you guys on your first day of school, I'm like, dude, you ain't take us to school, man. Yeah, you're probably right. Here's a. Yeah, that's true. I didn't.

[Sherman Young]

Here's another quote from Coach Paul Bear Bright it. Spit on it.

[Will Compton]

Oh, okay.

[Sherman Young]

Thanks, coach.

[Will Compton]

Thanks. That could have been a few different things.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, it could have. He was a smart man. A lot of natty spit on it.

[Will Compton]

Hang on.

[Sherman Young]

What, Coach? What the. For dads. What?

[Will Compton]

Dad hotline. That hotline. Let's dive into the dad hotline this week. 601 the dads. If you want to drop a voicemail to the boys to. For the dad. Yeah, it is at 601 the Dads. We have our caller coming into us this week named.

[Sherman Young]

Don't know his name. We're about to find out if you're international 601thedadsmail.com. That's 601thedads gmail.com, if you're an international listener.

[Chef Jack]

Sherman, preface real quick, too.

[Sherman Young]

From.

[Chef Jack]

From what we talked about before the episode with the. Call it saying a name. Just real quick.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you. Thank you for the reminder. Thank you for the reminder.

[Will Compton]

Thank you, Captain.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you, Captain.

[Chef Jack]

Will, you're gonna love this.

[Sherman Young]

I am not upset when I say this. I just found it funny. I got a DM from a PT6er that said, boys, what the. On saying my name, you got me. You got me in the doghouse with the wifey.

[Will Compton]

Oh, no. How does the wifey listen, too?

[Sherman Young]

I guess wifey listed, too. But to my thought, I'm like, if you say your name, here's. Here's my thing. We said at the top. And it's in the voicemail thing. If you want to remain anonymous.

[Will Compton]

Very first episode we did. We were saying very first episode, and it's in.

[Sherman Young]

You say, hey, this is Will Compton. You reach for the dads and listen, if you want to share your name, you want to stay anonymous. Doesn't matter. I mean, it's there.

[Will Compton]

Oh, I say that in the voice. Okay, I forgot that if you open.

[Chef Jack]

Up the voicemail, but. Hey, guys, this is Jack here calling in for, like, it's very obvious. We're going to say your name.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, we're going to play the voicemail.

[Will Compton]

Oh, we got him in trouble.

[Sherman Young]

We got him.

[Will Compton]

Part of me likes to think that he listened to the clip and then showed his wife, and then maybe she was busting his balls, got him in trouble. Which guy did we get in trouble? What was the situation?

[Sherman Young]

I don't want to say now because then what is that going to do?

[Will Compton]

You're right.

[Chef Jack]

Maybe he's saving face.

[Will Compton]

What was the situation?

[Chef Jack]

I don't. We don't know who. We got to go back and find out who. Maybe the wife is standing right next to him. He's like, look, I'm telling these. Like, how dare you? And on the inside, he's like, if that's the case, we'll. We'll take the blame.

[Will Compton]

Hey, don't show this part.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, I'm so sorry that we did that.

[Will Compton]

When your wife asks you who did it, your response is, papa Team Six. We're all one heartbeat. We're all one voice. Hey, Barack Obama, Osama bin Laden. Who took the shot?

[Sherman Young]

We all did.

[Will Compton]

No, no, no. Who actually took the shot? President, with all due respect, we all took the shot. We all did.

[Sherman Young]

Her friend. 100 sent. Heard the clip and said, is this your Joey?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. This is your husband. Familiar? What the.

[Will Compton]

Oh.

[Sherman Young]

What the hell are you doing calling into this thing? I know. What the. I don't even know.

[Chef Jack]

I can't believe they aired me out like that.

[Sherman Young]

What is this? I don't know what this is.

[Will Compton]

We'll take it, Papa. This is on Papa Team Six. That's Papa Team six. Took the shot.

[Sherman Young]

We took the shot. Okay, back to the voicemail. We have a fun voicemail. We're just doing one this week. We got a tight deadline. We're keeping it under an hour. Here we go.

[Nate]

What's up, boys? It's Nate. Gotta give a quick shout out to my younger brother Tom for putting me on busing with the boys. Couldn't have been happier to do another podcast in the rotation, especially now that it's for the dad.

[Will Compton]

So, Papa Team 6 or crew.

[Nate]

This is a crappy cold one. Maybe a new category called dad collecting, but. But you know, as a member of pht6, I got a four and a six year old. I've been recommissioned out to the suburbs. You know, she's a little long in the tooth and, you know, I don't feel like I've been put out to pasture, but maybe given a new opportunity, good old fashioned long tooth. There's nothing like it. Got to embrace it. And it's really not as much of a responsibility as an opportunity. An opportunity to cultivate and present what you can do to your neighbors. And so last week I'm up against the clock. Last few hours of the week where my nanny's still on the clock. I'm home early, gotta get the lawn cut. It's 99 degrees outside. I'm sweating like a whore in church. What do I get at the tap on the shoulder from my boy scout neighborhood across the street? What does he want? He wants me to put his shirt on. It's inappropriate for me to cut the grass with my shirt off. You know, don't mean to flex on it too hard, but we don't all look great in our 50s, but in our 30s, I'm still looking good, fellas, and I'm not afraid to show it off a little bit. Get the dad flex going. So you know what I did? Had to just kindly. Hey, appreciate the consideration and keep it moving. What's he do? Goes and complains to my wife. Good. Even better. But you just can't keep him down. We're here to build a community, not tear each other down. So get out there. Flex the muscles. Show them your most muscular, and don't be afraid to pop the top off every once in a while. Keep it up. Love hearing it every week. Can't wait to hear them nugget.

[Will Compton]

Oh, God, I love that. He said Nate. Nate from Papa team six.

[Sherman Young]

I thought you said Smitty.

[Will Compton]

Smitty.

[Sherman Young]

He said it's Smitty.

[Will Compton]

Is it Nate?

[Sherman Young]

Let's write it back. Hold on.

[Nate]

What's up, boys? It's Nate.

[Sherman Young]

Nate. Nate. It's Nate. Nate. Yeah, I think it's Nate.

[Will Compton]

You got. Sherb's got the computer over there. So if my. You know.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, you know, my.

[Will Compton]

I don't know if I'm gonna need a hearing.

[Sherman Young]

You know my hearing. Yeah. Oh, my God.

[Will Compton]

I love. That's a great example of a. Get back inside, old man. Break your hip.

[Sherman Young]

Put a. Put a shirt on. What? On this? On this?

[Will Compton]

Oh, you don't like what you see, old man? Why you come say it to my face?

[Sherman Young]

Oh, off scar. What the.

[Will Compton]

What you say, Scott? You need me to piss on your lawn? Yeah, I'll.

[Sherman Young]

I'll piss on it after I'm done cutting. How about that, Scott?

[Will Compton]

Sounds like you haven't mounted your wife in a while. Scott.

[Sherman Young]

The. The fact that he told him to keep pushing, and then Scott or whatever neighbor went to his wife. Wife to then go complain. Did you hear that Part of it?

[Will Compton]

Yeah. So he told. He. He had the shirt off.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Said it's inappropriate. Told him to keep pushing. Like, guy keep mowing the lawn.

[Sherman Young]

No, no, Guy that had his shirt off. Nate told Scott, the neighbor, hey, keep pushing, Scott. Thanks for the tip, but keep pushing. Kept his shirt off, finished the lawn.

[Will Compton]

So. So Scott went to his wife to tell on him.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

We got a tattletale on our hands.

[Sherman Young]

Dude. What in the world? And I love that he kept it positive. He's like, hey, we're just trying to build a community. Not holding it against the neighbor. Not holding it against the neighbor. But I'm going to keep on mowing the lawn with my shirt off when it's 99 degrees, thank you very much. And somebody that's from Texas, and you're.

[Will Compton]

Trying to get the sun, you're trying to get a little tangle, and you don't want that. The farmer's tans are fun, but it's like he's trying to get some color to them.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, dude. A rent house that we had in Texas that we. I did the own mowing for on those summer days, it is, like, almost unbearable. It Is almost unbearable. Especially when it's getting up to, like, 102, 103, which happens, bro.

[Will Compton]

Nate should, next time he mows the lawn, do the exact same thing. Put some booby tassels on and leave Scott a note that says, go tell my wife about this one. Or if he wants him to wear a shirt, just wear something ridiculous. You know what I mean? Like as he's mowing the lawn.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yeah. You have to maybe one of these visors. Sure. With one of these visors.

[Will Compton]

Or just wears a shirt and cuts everything, like, all the way up to where it's, like, you know, flowing in the wind.

[Sherman Young]

Everywhere it is PT6 shirt and just crop top it.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Go, PT. Yeah, PT6. Cut it up to the sternum so you still show off the ass abs. Just short shorts.

[Sherman Young]

Just give him the biggest thumbs up when he pulls into his driveway.

[Will Compton]

So some badass sunglasses, crop top up to the sternum really short, cut off jean shorts or something so you can get the quads out.

[Sherman Young]

Yep. Maybe that bus and bucket hat on.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And go.

[Will Compton]

I got a shirt.

[Sherman Young]

And you got to keep the mower going and yell over the mower nowhere. That's the biggest power move ever. Somebody trying to talk to you, and you just keep on ripping on whatever your tool is.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Or write him a little note, put it in his mailbox. Heard you tattle to my wife. A lot of stones you have.

[Sherman Young]

That's a crazy move.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. That is a crazy move.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Chef Jack]

What's the scene in Step Brothers where Will Ferrell's like, Derek's trying to sell the house, and Will Ferrell's in the full SS outfit.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, the HOA's great.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, my God. I had a. I had a neighbor in his, like, late 60s, Steve, shout out Steve back in Texas. Every other day he's retired. Every other day he was out in his front yard with his little dachshund, no shirt on, killing it. And he had the hunchback, like, the early hunchback going. He's just walking. He's just. Just. Oh, and he got me juiced up. I don't see how a PT6er could see another PT6er with his shirt off that late in the game and go, dude, him put a shirt on. What does he do?

[Will Compton]

He ain't a real PT6er.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Scott ain't PT6.

[Will Compton]

Scott ain't a PT6er for real. Maybe Nate should put him on for the dads.

[Sherman Young]

That's a great call.

[Will Compton]

Introduce him to the culture.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

He might hear this part at some point.

[Sherman Young]

Wait, wait two weeks.

[Will Compton]

But he'll be able to check himself.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Wait, you know what? These boys are right. I need to do a better job of embracing the fatherhood and the boy Scout terminology.

[Sherman Young]

He called his neighbor my boy Scout neighbor. That's a wild ricochet for the boy Scout. Oh, no.

[Will Compton]

Oh, golly, Nate.

[Sherman Young]

That was an alltime call.

[Will Compton]

Great call, Nate. Thank you.

[Sherman Young]

We did our call in. We're doing so well on time. We are. At the end of the show, it sounds like your lesson is pretty long. Or long.

[Will Compton]

Not long. I just, I, I, I just wrote a few things down.

[Sherman Young]

I have a very quick quote that I can hit. Lesson. This is from Jim Valvano. That's the NC State coach. Remember back in the 80s? Jimmy V. Jimmy V. Yeah. Yeah. My father gave me the greatest gift anyone anyone could give another person. He believed in me. I, I really love that quote. So my father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person. He believed in me. Boom. Nice. Simple. And it covers the bases, dude. Yeah, Covers the bases.

[Will Compton]

Simple quote that you can just tell yourself in the back of your mind when your kiddos questioning a. Should I get on the scooter? That's a big slide up there.

[Sherman Young]

Should I put my leg over handlebars of scooter? Dad's over there with his phone. Do it, do it, do it.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Oh, I did have a, I did have a dad hack on, like on, on belief. I had. So by the time we're filming this episode, Rude just went to school for the third day in the row. It's Friday, it's pizza Friday, movie night, all the good stuff. But at dad hack that hack. Cuz on day three, we were, it was just me taking her to school and we were waiting in the car line and she was just all of a sudden saying she doesn't want to go to school. I'm like, why don't you want to go to school, sweetheart? Dad, Dad's not at school. Like, come to school with me. Kind of didn't want to leave Dada. Kind of didn't want to go to school. We're starting to feel a little sad. She wasn't crying or anything.

[Sherman Young]

Like, that was this morning.

[Will Compton]

That was this morning.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

And so what I did is as I'm talking to her about school, sweetheart, you have so much fun. You play a lot, you learn, your friends are going to be there. So and so's there. So and so's there, yada, yada, yada. And I was like, and here's what we'll do. We can do. Remember, we're always going to do three squeezes. Because she said, I want you to get out the truck. I want you to hug me and kiss me, sweetheart. You know, they don't let parents out. Why? Well, because we got to keep the line moving. Why? Because we got to stay efficient and effective, and that's just the way it is. All this stuff. I was like, but here's what I'll do. Dad is going to give you five kisses, and you can put them in your pocket. She's got a little pocket on the front of her dress or shirt, whatever it was. And I'm. And putting them in her hand. 2, 3, 4, 5. And she puts them in her pocket. I'm like, you can use those throughout the day. So if you think about dad, dad, or mama, and you get sad, just know you can pull out a kiss out of your pocket and you can put it on your cheek. And also, you know how mom and dad had got you that little rune necklace. You're wearing your little necklace. She's like, yeah. I was like, if again, if you run out of your kisses or again, you're feeling sad that mom and dad aren't there, we got you that necklace. Just squeeze your necklace and we'll feel it. And just know that we're always going to be with you, because we are. We got you a necklace, and it is around your neck.

[Sherman Young]

Neck.

[Will Compton]

So if you ever feel sad, just squeeze it. And just know that I'll feel it. Wherever I'm at, I'm gonna feel it, bro. That's a little. Dad.

[Sherman Young]

Having a girl rocks, dude. Having. I. I want some boy dads on the show, but little moments like that, that's so sick, dude.

[Will Compton]

And she ripped it. You know, Teacher got her out. Bye, dad. Hug walked off, and you just see your little human just walking off. Bro. Just being a little G, bro.

[Sherman Young]

Bro.

[Will Compton]

Just being a little G with a.

[Sherman Young]

Little five pieces and her necklace along the way.

[Will Compton]

But that was my. That was my dad. Heck. Here's. Here's the lesson. Here's the lesson or theme for this segment. For this topic. I wrote a little something down. I emailed it to myself. Here we go. You ready, Sherm? I am ready, Captain Chef Jack, ready. It's our job to break the cycle of pointless punishments when our children are developing, learning, and growing. This is a challenge that I know I'll face because growing up in an era of choosing what you'll get spanked with, having that fear of dad, Anytime you do something wrong and the feeling of isolation after punishment, life is too short to get upset over your toddler being a toddler or your kiddo going through a developmental stage, they up, they break things, they lose their mind over little things and push you to your limit limits. But they're also learning how to regulate their emotions, develop their skills, and how to show up to the world. And that is where our job comes in. Don't reprimand them for the mess ups and outbursts. Instead, encourage and guide them. And guide them. Walk through the fire with them and challenge yourself to stand in the storm with them and show them the way. We need to get out of the way of our own and lead our children. It's why we embrace good and it's why we will help set, set the standard for the next generation. That concludes my TED Talk.

[Sherman Young]

Those are big words, dude. Yeah, those are big words.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. I, I, I'll like come across stuff that talks about like, you know, punish, like the punishment stuff, or your children, you know, going through a developmental stage or having a tantrum, or the moments that you just know push you to the absolute end of the earth. We all have them. We all fail at times, a lot of times to where then it's all about how you self talk after that and look back on what happened and see how you could have done a better job of keeping your poise. Because again, they're going through so many big emotions and it's our job to again sit in the storm with them and help guide them. Or if Ru's yelling, there's only so many times where you're going to yell and it's like, hey, you're starting to piss me off a little bit. Or you're starting to frustrate dad.

[Sherman Young]

Dad.

[Will Compton]

Or it's like if I give you something and you're like, dad, can I do this? Or blah, blah, blah, ask dad. Hey, use your confidence voice. That's not how we talk. That's not how we do things.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Hey, Dead. Can you help? Can you turn on Little Bear for me? Can you ask nicely all, all, like all these or they're having a moment. They just want. Rue didn't want to see me this morning. She came downstairs in her outfit. She usually comes and sees dad. Al wants me to like, look at her outfit. I'm like, oh my gosh, you look amazing. What'd you do with your hair? I love that. Like all this stuff that's like every day. That's a, that's a Daily routine that we have. But this morning, she came downstairs, and for whatever reason, she didn't want to see dad or didn't want me to talk to her. I'm making breakfast and stuff, and I'm kind of hearing her talk to mama. I don't want to see Dada. Goes in the mud room and just sits in the mud room. She was like, oh, we don't got to put our shoes on yet. We got to eat breakfast. Or she's just like, I don't want to see dad. Dad. Or I don't want daddy to talk to me. And I didn't do. When she got out of the bed, like, I. I haven't seen her yet in the morning. And I kind of give it some time. I finished some breakfast going on. Then I just kind. I slowly, kindly walk in there, and I'm, hey, sweetheart, like, dead down. I don't want you in here. And I'm like, I know you done. I'm gonna leave here in a second. I just wanted to ask, though. Can I ask you a question?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Like, how you feeling today? I'm feeling sad and kind of, like, lays down and does her thing, and I'm just like, all right, that's fine. I'm gonna walk out of here. But just know. Here's all I want you to know. I'm gonna be right out here in the kitchen. If you need dead dad for anything, anything that I can do for you, you just let me know. A minute or something comes by, and then you just hear, I need that, dad. Like, I just. I want to hug and stuff, and then I go and embrace, just like you. I feel like if you take it the wrong way, you can go in there like, hey, what's going on? Like, dad hasn't done nothing to you. You're like. You're, like, defending your position.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

It's like whatever moment she's having right now, like, hey, sweetheart, number one, we are number one, we are this. Yeah, you know that. I know that. I'm just thinking, hey, how you feeling this morning? I'm feeling sad. All right, that's fine. Listen, I'm not going to talk to you. I just want you to know. Can you look at me? She looks at me. I just want you to know I'm going to be right in here if you need me for anything. Do whatever you need me to do. Walk out. And then all of a sudden, you hear, need Dada. What? I need a huggy, sweetheart. That's all you had to say. Pick her up. We just have a great hug.

[Sherman Young]

I love that.

[Will Compton]

You ready for school today? Let's go kick some ass, bro.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, whatever you push out, I'm not buying, cuz guess what? I love you.

[Will Compton]
