Episode Overview

This heartfelt and comedic “For The Dads” edition of Bussin’ With The Boys sees NFL dads Willie Compton and Sherman Young deep-dive into the realities of fatherhood, from travel hacks and daily fails to emotional milestones with their kids. The Boys banter about “dad power-ups”, debate if every dad must know how to braid hair, and deliver emotional reflections on milestones like birthdays and first meaningful parent-child moments. This episode is overflowing with stories, practical hacks, and community engagement—building on the ever-expanding PT6 movement.

Main Discussion Themes & Flow

1. Setting the Vibe & The PT6 Community (03:06 – 08:16)

• The episode opens with the “April Fools” theme and a layout of their PT6 community: dads, dads-in-training, uncles, even moms (“Semen Team 6” are the dads-to-be).

• Key quote:
  “This is for the dads by the dads…telling dad stories and learning how to be better. Better dads. Better husbands.”
  —Willie C (03:53)

• Emphasis on building an inclusive, supportive community: new members are encouraged to introduce themselves and share family stories.

• Listener engagement: Hotline (601 The Dads), emails ([e-mail]), and spotlighted community comments (Spotify, YouTube, Reddit).

---

2. Dad Life Stories: Traveling, Packing, & Forgetfulness (08:17 – 16:18)

• Community highlight: a dad’s struggle traveling with young kids and too many bags.

• Both hosts share tales about travel mishaps—Sherman not bringing a roller bag, and Willie chronicling his ongoing battle with forgetfulness.

• Relatable Dad-isms: The struggle between being “task-oriented” and the “mental load” of dad logistics, and the love/hate relationship with losing things.

• Notable quotes:

  • “I'm forgetful. Sue me.” —Willie C (12:24)
  • “It's not about getting another one. It's about taking care of the one that we have.” —Sherman (11:12)

• The dad hack: Just buy a new pair and "find" the lost one later!

---

3. Dad Hack Adventure: Losing & Finding the Wallet (17:03 – 26:51)

• Willie tells a classic “dad moment”: forgets his wallet before a daddy-daughter breakfast. He and Rue turn it into a fun detective adventure searching the office, eventually using AirTags to locate it safely stashed away by a coworker.

• Sherman reinforces the idea that sometimes "it’s not that you forgot; sometimes your wife has just moved those things" (19:39).

• Quote:
  “As a dad that's forgetful, you need systems.” —Willie C (21:11)

---

4. Packing and Traveling: The Roller Bag Debate (34:02 – 41:25)

• Running joke: Real dads bring the roller bag—even if it’s not “manly.”
• Dad hack: Always bring the roller bag for less stress, especially at airports with kids.
• On “classic” dad moves: Judging luggage weight by feel, shifting weight around to pass the check-in scale, and subtly razzing your spouse for over-packing.

---

5. Community Shout-Outs & Comments (41:26 – 52:32)

• Popular listener hacks and wins, like using YouTube to fix appliances (AC and generator repairs).
• How small victories—like doing one extra chore or learning a new home repair skill—are the “real” dad superpowers.

---

6. Crack a Cold One & Heartfelt Milestones (51:44 – 64:20)

• Signature segment: Both hosts crack open an Olipop and share wins.

• Sherman’s moving moment: the first time his baby, Scarlett, deliberately echoes a little “fart” noise back (“communication!”).

  • “I want that communication. … Just that little taste—oh.” —Sherman (55:34)

• Willie gets emotional about his daughter Rue’s fourth birthday:

  • “The hardest part of parenthood is watching them grow up. … You pour everything into them so that one day, they don’t need you.” —Willie C (63:48)

• Both reflect on the bittersweetness of milestones, the fleeting nature of hands-on parenting, and wanting to “bottle up these moments.”

---

7. Weddings, Father-Daughter Bonds & What Girl-Dads (and Boy-Dads) Learn (67:19 – 79:36)

• Sherman shares the emotional experience of seeing a dad walk his only daughter down the aisle at a family wedding.

• Discussion on shaping empathetic, resilient children—both boys and girls. Being a girl-dad or boy-dad brings separate joys and challenges, but the real work is “walking with them, knowing when to push and when to create space.”

• Quote:
  “Our job is to raise as good a human being as possible to operate in the world, and knowing, when that happens, they no longer need you...that’s the hardest part for me as a dad.” —Willie C (66:53)

---

8. Listener Shoutouts: New Dads, Potty Training, & Solidarity (79:37–88:11)

• Shoutouts from new and expectant dads worldwide, including from Australia, celebrating the highs (new babies born) and the lows (son punches you in the nuts during labor support).
• Community wins: comfort in solidarity, laughs at the chaos, and learning from each other’s hacks and lessons.

---

9. The Great Hair Debate: Do Dads Need Braiding Skills? (88:12 – 93:12)

• Listener dad admits sending his daughter to school with hair ties and hope that the teacher would help—prompting the burning question: Should every dad be able to do a ponytail, or even braid?
• Both hosts agree: Doing a basic ponytail is table stakes. Braiding? “Working on it.”
• Quote:
  “Fundamentally, all dads need to understand how to just do a ponytail.” —Willie C (89:54)

---

10. Dad Hack of the Week & Potty-Training Advice (93:13–120:04)

• Dad Hack: Use the “Brushy Brush” Elmo song/dance routine to make teeth-brushing fun and stress-free.
• Potty training advice: Turn it into a game, race the kid to the bathroom, and leverage Daniel Tiger’s catchy routines.
• Community Q: The pain of boy potty-training versus girl potty-training (consensus: “boys are harder!”).
• A tongue-in-cheek “April Fools” about waterboarding kids (clarified as definitely a JOKE).

---

11. Dad Superpower Reddit Game (104:11–108:59)

• Which dad “superpower” would you choose?

  • The Whisperer (quickly calms tantrums)
  • The Human Crane (car-to-crib transfers)
  • Reflex Master (catch anything falling)
  • Tactical Loader (pack with lightning speed)
  • Nursery Ninja (navigate Legos at night), or
  • Iron Nose (smell dirty diapers from two rooms away)

• Poll winner: The Whisperer (meltdown calms).

---

12. Final Lessons & Quotes (127:40 – End)

• Quote of the Week:
  “I trained in the village every day like a peasant and chopped enough fireword for three winters.” —Ivan Yarygin, Soviet wrestler (128:35)
• Dan Gable REMINDER:
  “Once you’ve wrestled, everything in life is easy.”
• Lesson of the Week: Own a domain at home (e.g. the garage or bathrooms) to lighten the “mental load” for your spouse.

---

  “We’re like the movie 300…we got a Spartan brigade!” —Willie C (06:50)
• On daughters growing up:
  “All these memories are really for us right now…they’re going to be gone one day. You raise them so they won’t need you.” —Willie C (63:48)
• On not braiding hair:
  “Hand up, sue me. I don’t know how to braid hair yet!” —Willie C (91:12)

[Sherman Young]

Y.

[Willie C]

Hoping the two year old. He said two and seven. Hoping the two year old's riding on one bag. Other ones in the stroller. Maybe you got a double stroller. Hey, we taking the stroller all the way up. We checking it. Does it fit on the plane? Do we got to check it before we go through security?

[Sherman Young]

Does it fit on the plane?

[Willie C]

We have a stroller that does fit on the plane. So we'll get it going all the way up to. To the gate. But you're making all these decisions. All right, which bags are you. Which. Which ones are we carrying on? You have to take these two. I'll take these two.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

You only have two at a time.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

What's the one that can fit under the. That can fit under the seat? What's the one that's overhead? Can we sneak an extra one overhead? Maybe if the. Maybe if the little waitress lady isn't looking.

[Sherman Young]

And I did. Big dad loss. I didn't account for.

[Willie C]

For this episode we just started, so

[Sherman Young]

we just haven't had it, man. Didn't do a roller bag this weekend on that wedding that we went to Houston. And that decision to go no roller bag led to a multiple, multiple situations at the airport of. What the was I thinking, bro?

[Willie C]

Though those one. Those are ones that you're kind of looking a little bit longer in the mirror at night.

[Sherman Young]

Oh. Because it is.

[Willie C]

It's like I'm assuming shoulder. Shoulder strap.

[Sherman Young]

Shoulder strap. But now I have Jill's shoulder strap that I go to put on my shoulder. It rips. I go, honey, your bag shoulder strap just ripped. And she said, well, don't hold it like that. Why. Why do.

[Willie C]

It's.

[Sherman Young]

You're probably holding it wrong. Great point.

[Willie C]

Yeah, it's. Oh, but that's. It's probably your fault.

[Sherman Young]

And it probably was.

[Willie C]

You know what, sweetheart? I am holding it wrong. I did rip it on accident. I'll buy you a new one.

[Sherman Young]

I'll buy you a new one. It wasn't that the bag was over packed or too heavy or anything like that.

[Willie C]

And God forbid you drop that. We'll get another one on them. It's not about. I know we can. It's not about getting another one. It's about taking care of the one that we have. Yeah. Type shit.

[Sherman Young]

Type shit. And hilarious. We ended up checking it because it ripped. TSA behind the scenes, they go to pick it up because I slightly ripped it. That thing fully ripped off. And they ripped it off and just hooked it onto the back for Us. So when we got it out of the carousel, even TSA was like, come. I mean, come on. The bags of pos. That's not. Yeah. We're not even gonna leave a note that they. I mean, it sucks. Husband.

[Willie C]

Get a new one. Get a new one. Get a new one. Again, they're not thinking, like, dude, I don't even. Get me started on this topic. It's. I went through, you know that pair of Persol sunglasses? The ones that you have. Yes, I also have. Yeah. Well, I can't find the ones that I currently have. That's my third pair.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, no.

[Willie C]

Yeah. So number one, hand up, Willie boy. Everybody knows I go, I have dad brain constantly. Yeah. Brain damage. Up top. Played a lot of football. Like, things happen. I'm forgetful. Sue me.

[Sherman Young]

Forgetful soon.

[Willie C]

But it's just like, when the small things, like a material thing I can't find or I lose or you. Damage gets lost, whatever it is. And just in my brain. Okay. Compartmentalize it. Listen, did I lose it? I'm a big believer. Hey, it'll pop up. Like, hey, it'll pop up somewhere. A lot of the times it pops up.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

I look at Charlie, I look at my wife, I swear, I told you they were going to pop up. She misplaced her sunglasses, like, a week ago. I was like, they'll probably pop up while she's stressing, looking for them everywhere. Hey, they're going to pop up. They popped up.

[Sherman Young]

They popped up.

[Willie C]

They popped up. She found. I say, hey, as a guy who loses stuff or misplaces things, I just have experience, and let's just be optimistic. And then if you don't find it, we'll get you another pair. We'll get you another pair. But it's to her point. It's never about. Like, it's taking care of the initial one that you have. The first pair of Persolas was a gift from her. Yeah. I was bummed. I loved the glasses. Like, there's no the connection. I had the. The. The optimism, the excitement, the connection. Just the joy. I had that, like, my wife got me a sick pair of sunglasses. Yep. I love them. I cared for them until I just couldn't.

[Sherman Young]

Yep.

[Willie C]

And I left them on a plane or I left them somewhere, and she was heartbroken. I was heartbroken that I lost. Nobody is a harder critic on themselves, on myself, than. Than old Willie C. Then I will see. I'm already beating myself up about it, but I also have to remain strong. Like, hey, we can find another way we can get this material thing back in our lives. Getting by just getting another pair.

[Sherman Young]

Different.

[Willie C]

Yes, sweetheart, you still gave me that first pair. But that doesn't mean, like, it's got to go to the grave with me. You got to release yourself from that. That connection that you have to the material thing. Yes. Or if it's all good for me. The gift was for me.

[Sherman Young]

Yep.

[Willie C]

I'm fired up about. I'm bummed that they're gone. But if you're seeing me be like, okay, I'll just grab another pair and we can replace them if I'm good with it. Because again, the initial gift was for me. Yeah. And I'm just like, hey, there's no problem. We'll get another one. Then you should just know it's all good. You don't have to lecture me about taking care. Don't.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, you know the whole, like, rigamaro that you're putting me through about, oh, take care of nice things.

[Willie C]

Why don't you place them back right where you got? Or when you get home, just take the extra two minutes to go to your sweetheart. You're right. You are right about that. And I do. I try to think about those things. Yeah. But sometimes it just. It just flee through my brain. You gotta understand, these men, us men, were kind of like dogs sometimes. Oh, we just forget. We forget.

[Sherman Young]

And, honey, I love all your advice about how I need to care and, like, really want to take care of something. Let's do an exercise. I'm gonna. I'm gonna really try and take care of those glasses. Let's see if they pop up.

[Willie C]

Oh, bought a new pair. Hide them under the bed, sweetheart. I found them.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, didn't pop up.

[Willie C]

No, Popped up. Popped up. Oh, popped up, popped up.

[Sherman Young]

Sneak on the side.

[Willie C]

Get another pair, randomly find in the house, sweetheart. They popped up.

[Sherman Young]

They popped up.

[Willie C]

And in your brain it would say, oh, he found those glasses. I'm so happy. But you wouldn't know.

[Sherman Young]

That's the fix.

[Willie C]

The actual strategy that went behind it.

[Sherman Young]

You just need. You do not need to say a word when you lose something. And if it doesn't pop up for three months, depends on how hard you look.

[Willie C]

If you're looking hard, hard for like the first few days.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Then you give yourself. You look hard for a couple of days. Yeah. Then you give yourself a rest period.

[Sherman Young]

A good, like, two month rest period where you almost forget about them. Yeah.

[Willie C]

And then when you're. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Willie C]

So however long that takes you go hard for 48 hours trying to find it.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Then you're like, let me just relax. They'll pop up.

[Sherman Young]

They'll pop up.

[Willie C]

They. You go by that strategy to where you forget.

[Sherman Young]

Yep.

[Willie C]

That they're even a thing in your life.

[Sherman Young]

Yep.

[Willie C]

And then when wifey's. Hey, did you ever find those? Well, where put.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, honey, that outfit's so cute. It'd go great with your parasol sign glasses.

[Willie C]

Oh, you know what?

[Sherman Young]

I. Let me go. Oh, I left them at the office.

[Willie C]

You know what? I did find them.

[Sherman Young]

I.

[Willie C]

But they're still. They're at the office.

[Sherman Young]

They're at the office.

[Willie C]

I just got to go get them. You know what? I'll go get them on Monday. Monday, you sit your sweet ass down. You go brand new pair. You come back home. I told you they'd pop up, honey.

That's a good dad hack. It's a good dad hack. Oh, Chef. Team sixer. Chef.

[Sherman Young]

I just overheard your. Yesterday. Your story about losing the wallet at the office, and I thought maybe you could rehash having you and Rue looking around.

[Willie C]

So I lost my wallet over the weekend.

[Sherman Young]

It'll pop up.

[Willie C]

I didn't lose it.

[Sherman Young]

No, pop up.

[Willie C]

I didn't lose it. I knew where it was. I just forgot it at the office.

[Sherman Young]

And. And it was moved.

[Willie C]

So you want the. You want the Willie C. Dad Experience. Yeah, Rue got to experience it. On Sunday, Rue and I did a breakfast date. Daddy, daughter. Like, we're not gonna take Rue. We ended up at Stay Golden.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, nice.

[Willie C]

Ended up at the golden. Great spot. No great shout out to Stay Gold.

[Sherman Young]

You won me over. You won me over.

[Willie C]

Yes, We. Yeah. You've been with me, and we're over at State Gold little coloring sheets.

[Sherman Young]

Like, it's just good spot.

[Willie C]

So morning started out. I'm thinking, okay, I got a box of stuff that I need to bring to the shop that I've been hoarding kind of in my truck or in the garage. My wife's like, you know, when are you going to take this stuff? I laid it all out. I laid all this stuff out next to your bed. Yeah, I got you. I need to get going with taking the box of the shop. You laid it out next to the bed. You didn't need to do that. But apparently you did, because now I'm going to take him to the shop.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

So we're about to go on this daddy daughter date. Don't have my wallet. Don't have my money clip, little wallet deal. But I'm thinking in my head, I'm not going to say this out loud

[Sherman Young]

because it'll pop up.

[Willie C]

Yeah, it'll pop up. I know where they are. I'm not just going to add an extra step. I'm not going to add an extra conversation before we leave the house because I'm like, I left my wallet at the shop. Is gonna be like, you misplace things all the time.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Willie C]

So I get ruined the car, massive box in the. Daddy, why is the box in the car? We're gonna go somewhere first before we go to breakfast. I think I'm gonna take her to Buttermilk ranch down in 12 South. So we go over, drive here to the office. Yeah. I'm like, daddy's got to drop off a couple things. Can I go to the see the bus with you? Can I do this? Absolutely. Unbuckle her, get her out. We walk in that side.

[Sherman Young]

You're a fun dad.

[Willie C]

Fun dad. Let's have some fun with this. Okay, let's go in. Hey, Rue, hold the door open. Dad, I'll take the box in. You'll help that out. And then we gotta find my wallet. I in this. At this part of the story. I know where my wallet is. It's sitting on the island right when you walk in, to the right.

[Sherman Young]

Right where you left it.

[Willie C]

Right where I left it. Right where I left. Yeah, come in. Kind of look around, don't see it. But I've forgotten things so much in my life, and I've misplaced things so much in my life to where. Now I'm questioning myself. Do I really know that I left it right here? Do you. Do dads out there? Do you guys feel me, like, when I'm saying this out loud? Or if you're looking at me on YouTube right now?

[Sherman Young]

Well, can I just rephrase that, May for some other dads, please? Because there are some other dads where other people have moved those things or maybe usually their wife has moved those things. It's not that they forgot. Yeah, I don't forget where I put my things. My wife just moves my thing.

[Willie C]

There was. I don't want to get off. I don't want to get sidetracked. So please keep going. Please bring me back on after I just tell this quick. Keep going, Charl. Came after me one time about a charger. Turned out I was right. She found her charger because she thought I took the charger because I've had a history of taking her charger and using it.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Yeah. So she just thinks, what'd you do with my charger? I didn't do anything this time.

[Sherman Young]

You.

[Willie C]

You're going back and forth. Eventually, she found the charger that night and was like, oh, I forgot that place in here. Oh, you forgot? I just had to take several bullets to the head. Because, again, when you start forgetting, when you have a history of misplacing and forgetting, you kind of can't trust yourself.

[Sherman Young]

Yep.

[Willie C]

When you feel very confident and it's no longer there.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

So going into the situation back in the shop, I could have swore I put it on the island. But now that it's not there and I'm looking at all these different places, I'm like, what did I do with it? Where did it go? Oh, well, fortunately for Christmas, my wife got me those little air tags.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

So I pull out my phone, the little. Find my app.

[Sherman Young]

No way.

[Willie C]

For these reasons, for my keys, my wallet, like, for all the little things that I could forget that I'm like, put an air tag.

[Sherman Young]

I gotta get one of those.

[Willie C]

And so I bring it out. But the service. The signal's not connecting. However, it's updating in the Find my app saying, like, five minutes ago, eight minutes ago, that it's in the vicinity of the shop.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

So now I'm going a little bit crazy. I'm like, let's go check the bus side. We come over here. We're looking on the. For the dad set. We go on the bus. We're looking on the bus. I turn it into a game with rue, because internally, I'm thinking, where is this thing at? Because you know how the logo can kind of move. One point, it could be out in the middle of the street. Next it's like, inside the shop. It's not like figuring out the signal. Exactly. I end up ruin. I go back and forth from this side of the shop. Behind this wall, there's another side of the shop. You got to go outside through the doors. We go back and forth through both sides of the shop seven times. Oh, and then it gets so deep that I'm in the back alley. I'm looking out by the road because it's showing the little logo that it can be on the road, and I'm

[Sherman Young]

like, oh, did someone break in?

[Willie C]

Yeah. Or just like, where is this at? I Look in my truck again, because my truck is parked in the. In the area. And I'm thinking, could it just be in my truck? But Ru and I, we're playing a detective game now, trying to find it. We spend about 45 minutes here at the show.

[Sherman Young]

Wow.

[Willie C]

Looking for the wallet. Because I'm thinking, like, yeah, they probably do Apple Pay, but usually when you're sitting down at a restaurant, I always use my card. So I'm just thinking, you want to give them the card? I don't want to feel like a weirdo. And I'm like, hey, do you guys got Apple Pay?

[Sherman Young]

I'll just.

[Willie C]

You can come over to the table, and I'll tap it. Some people do that. Listen, I know. I know. I'm overthinking. I'm also thinking I just need to find the wallet, because I can't go back and be like, I don't know where my wallet.

[Sherman Young]

Gotta get to my wife.

[Willie C]

I can't just say, I don't know where my wall.

[Sherman Young]

It'll pop up.

[Willie C]

It'll pop up, and eventually we're in the back area, like, in a corner, back where your desk is.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Willie C]

And it picks up a weak signal, and then it says, it's, like, 13ft away. So I'm, like, following the arrow. I'm walking around, and it's, like, pointing at the wall to where it shows that it would be outside behind the wall. So again, I go back outside and go around, and I'm, like, looking on the ground. I'm like, how did this thing get outside? But then it's not picking up the signal when I'm outside. So me and Ru, I'm like, we got to run back. We got to run back. We go back.

[Sherman Young]

Loving this. I'm sure.

[Willie C]

Rue asked me, daddy, where'd you put your wallet last, sweetheart? That. I thought he put it right up here on the. On the island. She points at a couple things all on the island. She's like, is it that? No, sweetheart, That's a good guess. That ain't it. I, like, pick it up. It'll be like a glasses case.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Willie C]

Something that you can, like, button or Velcro over. No, it's not that. It's not that.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Willie C]

She's helping me. She's. We're running back and forth. Well, Daddy, when you gonna find it? Sweetheart, we're looking. You just got to keep rocking with dad. We're detectives right now. You got to start asking better questions, are thinking, where could this be? Could it be over here? Could it be under there? She's checking in between seat cushions with me, but we get to where hear this faint noise where it finally connects to it again. And I hear it and she's like, dada, I think it's down here. Like down on her level. So I, like, put the eight feet, and I put it down toward Rue, since it's three feet away. And then she's like, dad, I think it could be in here. And points at the file cabinet. And I'm listening. You can hear the little beeping noise.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

I'm like, sweetheart, you're right. It's in the file cabinet. I try unlocking it with the keys that were on top. It didn't work, which I was thankful for because I'm thinking, if the keys are just right here on top of the thing that's locked, like, we're not. The boys aren't doing a great job at keeping something safe. Yeah. And then I just thought, my head. Ryan probably found it sitting on the island. And now it's in the file cabinet. We can't get in. She was a little like, we got to get it out. I'm like, sweetheart, it's all good. At least we know that it's safe and that it's here and that no matter what, dad knows that when we go home and you tell mom the story about me losing my wallet, she's gonna look at me and be, oh, dad lost his wallet. And I can look at her and be like, it's in the file cabinet.

[Sherman Young]

It's at.

[Willie C]

It's at work.

[Sherman Young]

It's at work. It's safe.

[Willie C]

It's totally safe.

[Sherman Young]

And for those at home, Ryan works here at the shop. He is a PT Sicko in an St. Sicko's body. Yeah, mature St Sicko.

[Willie C]

Mature SD Sickle. He's not a PT Sick.

[Sherman Young]

No, no. I'm just saying he's that, like, maturity wise. He's there.

[Willie C]

So again, Mama and Scotty, they go and do their thing. Mom just thinks we're going on a breakfast date. We're not stopping by the shop. We're not doing all this stuff. We get to the shop at 9, at 9 o'. Clock. It's 9:45 now to when we're leaving to go to get breakfast. I'm like, we're gonna go to Buttermilk Ranch. We're gonna see how long if there's gonna be a wait. Yeah, go and park in 12 south, run across the street, have a little fun while we're going over there. Listen to some music, some tunes. Yeah. Going to Buttermilk Ranch. We walk in, I'm holding her hand. It's just me and my daughter. I'm like, oh, excuse me, man. Like, how long's the wait here? Just us two. And I like, point down. I want to make sure she sees that I'm with my little girl. Like, maybe there could be.

[Sherman Young]

Cute little girl.

[Willie C]

Yeah, cute little girl. Like, maybe you can fast track us. Yeah, you see this? Daddy daughter time.

[Sherman Young]

And I think she made a little.

[Willie C]

Guess how long the wait was.

[Sherman Young]

Hour 22 and a half hours.

[Willie C]

Oh, two and a half hours. I said two and a half hours? And she said, yeah, I'm sorry, sir. And I said, good for you guys. I said, well, we're. We're gonna. We're gonna go somewhere else. I said, that's good for you guys. I mean, two and a half hour wait, that's unbelievable.

[Sherman Young]

And there's a movie theater down the street. We could go catch the 10 o'. Clock.

[Willie C]

We go watch the Titanic before you guys are ready.

[Sherman Young]

Perfect.

[Willie C]

So we leave. Hey, Buttermilk Ranch ain't gonna work. She's like, sipping on her bottle. She's got milk in her bottle. She's like, daddy, I'm drinking milk. And that place is called Buttermilk. I love butter too. And buttermilk. I was like, yo, you are operating right now.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, Harvard, we got one.

[Willie C]

She's like, dad, when are we gonna get breakfast? I was like, oh, sweetheart, we just. We gotta go across town. We're just gonna go to stay golden, because I know, Stay Golden. That's. That's Old Faithful right there. You can trust that there's not gonna be a massive crowd of State Golden. Great spot, great coffee, great food.

[Sherman Young]

Fastball down the middle.

[Willie C]

Fastball down the middle. We go to stay Golden. We rip. We have a great time. But that entire story, she's debriefing mom on it when we get home. And Mom's just thinking, that's just another Tuesday for Dada.

[Sherman Young]

She said that. Whoa.

[Willie C]

In joking, fun. Okay, good. Yeah, good. Light hearted. Because it is the truth. It's like you never know what you're gonna get when you're going around with old Willy C. But Willie C, I

[Sherman Young]

do want to say it makes me sad that your brain goes to where the hell did I put this thing when it wasn't where you last placed it.

[Willie C]

Right. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And I don't think you're wrong in that, but, like, just to let people

[Willie C]

know, Ryan did text me later that night just to update me and say, hey, I just want you to know tomorrow when you come into work. Your wallet. I found it out the other day. Cleaners and people were coming in, so I saw it. I wanted to grab it. It was on the island. I just put it in the file cabinet, and I was like, I knew it was on the. I knew island.

[Sherman Young]

Sherm, before you give him too much credit, I. And this is. We're growing as men.

[Willie C]

We are growing as men.

[Sherman Young]

We're going to the same week of the iPad incident. And so I just. I just want to say out loud, we're growing as men. Before you say, somebody moved it. Will, you're okay. I need to do my job. To call out and say, this is the same week as the iPad. I love you. Well. Well, you know, do you want to tell them that one?

[Willie C]

I'm just thinking right now, my wife's listening to this, and she's laughing and she's enjoying that, like, all right. Yeah. They're not all yes men around him.

[Sherman Young]

Well, company. And here. Here's the only note that I was going to. Hey, could he tighten the screws? Certainly. But I. I would love for your mindset to be where I am currently. I kind of live in this blissful world that. Jill moved it.

[Willie C]

Jill. What?

[Sherman Young]

Jill moved it. I didn't lose it. Jill just moved it. Yeah, it's kind of a. It's a fun little place.

[Willie C]

Situations that we're talking about right now. There's no cop out. Oh, I'm blaming the way.

[Sherman Young]

IPad's way different, too.

[Willie C]

Did we talk about the iPad?

[Sherman Young]

Happened after the episode aired. So you had a fun time on X talking about it. We haven't talked about it here. Do you want to tell the people?

[Willie C]

Yeah, because, you know, there's a lot of PT sickos right now. They only rock Facebook. They don't rock all the apps.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

What the boys are referring to is I. I broke my iPad and I left my iPad on my truck in the driveway. I was taking Rue to school. I buckled her in. We were having a great time, doing hug history squeezes, like, playing a little game. As I picked her up. As I pick her up, she's like, daddy, can you lift me up in the truck? And I'm like, sweetheart, you can't climb up in the truck. You do it all the time. So I'm like, okay, you know, dad has got you. I take my iPad and set it on the. The tailgate right next to the back door.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

We lean down, pick up Roo. We do our thing. And she, like, tells me to do something where I, like, run around the other side, like, daddy, we gotta go. The dinosaur's gonna get us.

[Sherman Young]

Oh.

[Willie C]

So I'll close the door. Okay. Okay. I close the door. I run around the front side. I get in the truck. I back out. I drive her to school. IPad falls off. I. IPad breaks in the middle of the road. I don't know all this went down until I get to the shop and realize I forgot my iPad. I left my iPad at home. So I hit up. I hit up our nanny at the house. I'm like, hey, did I leave my iPad at the. At home? And she calls me, and she's like, hey, I don't see it anywhere. And I'm like, I had it in my hand.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Willie C]

I was like, I could have, like, if it wasn't. If I didn't bring it in my truck, because it's not in my truck, then surely I just left it on the island. It's always the island. Surely I just left it on the island. I don't see it anywhere. And I'm like, I'm trying to pull up my. Find my. But it's not connecting to my. It's not connected to the app. Maybe it's out of range because it's like a wi fi iPad. And then I showed that it updated, and it's showing it in the middle of the road. I was like, hey, can you. Can you look outside and see if it's outside, like, in the driveway? Now I'm scared. Now I'm thinking, I drove off without it, and it was sitting on my tailgate. It's all coming to life now.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, no.

[Willie C]

In my head. And she goes, I see something in the middle of the road. It seems like it could be okay, but it's on the yellow lines in the middle of the road. Like, let me go check. She sent me a couple photos, Chef, you can put the photos up. Whole iPad was broken.

[Sherman Young]

Derek had a great suggestion for the nanny, too, on how to fix it.

[Willie C]

Yeah, I'm sitting with the. I'm sitting in the shop, back in the shop with the boys, and I'm kind of updating them that, hey, I found my iPad. It's showing how shattered it is. And Derek's like, tell her. Tell her to put in some rice. Hey, just plug it in a charger. Try doing a hard restart, Put in some rice, and let's see if we can get it back to life.

[Sherman Young]

Will. I tried to plug the charger in, but the Charging hole is microscopic now because it's so pinched in. I don't know if I could judge it. You don't even put in some rice then.

[Willie C]

Yeah, tough beats. Look, hand up. Sue me. I am the dad that is forgetful. I'm a dad who misplaces things. I don't have to be some people out there that are growth minded like Woodley boy. Don't talk to yourself like that. Now you can say I'm a guy who takes care of things and just start talking to yourself differently. I am.

[Sherman Young]

You are.

[Willie C]

Up to this point, I've been a guy that misplaces stuff. I forget stuff. I'm the dad that comes in and there's a stain on my shirt and it's just like I, sweetheart, what do you want me to do?

[Sherman Young]

And who are you now?

[Willie C]

I'm now a guy who, who is very responsible.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Who takes care of his things.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

That tells other dads now that does that. Do have trouble. I just tell them, hey, man, it only takes you 30 extra seconds do this. Yeah. Or, bro, why you have so much? Why you have such a problem like leaving stuff everywhere? Like, just make sure you put it back where you found it.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

You're going to take your sunglasses off, put them in your backpack or you

[Sherman Young]

know, buy a new pair two months later once you remember. I like that. I like that.

[Willie C]

Yeah. What else, man? Yeah, we just kind of went on the Willie experience there. Papa Team 6. What's will like as a father? You just got a crash course morning on a Sunday.

[Sherman Young]

That was fabulous.

[Willie C]

It wasn't even noon when we got home.

[Sherman Young]

That was fabulous. Well done. And a lot of growth there. A lot of growth.

[Willie C]

Thanks, man. Derek doesn't agree with you. A lot of growth there, Derek. Just sitting back.

[Sherman Young]

The only reason I remembered it is

[Willie C]

because you said, you know, the Apple

[Sherman Young]

tag can put it anywhere. It can put it in the middle of the street. Was a sentence you said when looking for your wallet. Yep. And I was like, well, he's got experience in that category is the only. So you triggered my response. I would have totally forgotten. I'm so glad you brought that up.

[Willie C]

When I got the new iPad, I'm thinking, do I just need to get a data iPad? So that way if I do lose it, a range of WI fi and not connected, I'll still be able to find it.

[Sherman Young]

Is that what you did?

[Willie C]

That's the problem. I'm already preparing for the worst.

[Sherman Young]

That's why. That's all dads do though, dude, you're right.

[Willie C]

Prepare for the worst. Hope for the best.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, that's good. That's good.

[Willie C]

You're right.

[Sherman Young]

And that's what I didn't do at the airport. We're talking about the roller bags.

[Willie C]

That's. Honestly a. That's a weird mistake by you.

[Sherman Young]

Very.

[Willie C]

That's a weird mistake for a PT6er who has. And when you got a pod, you have eight months experience now, like, you've been, you've traveled with the family. Like, you understand what the operation looks like.

[Sherman Young]

Yep.

[Willie C]

That's the, that you had going last week where the guy's like, it's not task oriented. You have to take on the mental load in a different way. Like, do you need a roller bag or do you need a strap bag? Are you just waiting for mom to figure it out for you?

[Sherman Young]

And. And dude, I probably on this show, when I went to Waco for that football game, when we traveled with Scarlett when she was only like, what, eight weeks old, I was bragging about my roller bag and, and how you need it. It's a dad hack, blah, blah.

[Willie C]

That's one where if I'm. We're. If we're watching ball and I'm coaching some tape and we're in the linebacker room. Yeah. And you're not seeing the puller. And I'm just saying to myself, that's unlike you.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

You always see the puller. You always see the light hand. You're alerting the puller before the play even starts.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

And for you to not see the puller. I would ask you what's going on. Yeah. Is everything all good? Schoolwork good? Yeah. Relationships going well with the girlfriend?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Any drama with the family right now? Because we need you on point when we play on Saturday.

[Sherman Young]

And who, who was the guy that you were giving notes to? You in that tweet that I put out. Which, which the tweet where I was like, I fucking love seeing Willie C. On the sideline talking to this player. Because I've gotten that same talk from Will. Yeah.

[Willie C]

I was giving notes to somebody, I

[Sherman Young]

think, in that thing.

[Willie C]

In a. In the comment section?

[Sherman Young]

No, no, in the video.

[Willie C]

In the video, yeah. Sewell Cravens.

[Sherman Young]

I love. The one thing that you always do is you. You find something that, like, that person's been championing or championing for the last, like, couple weeks in the office, and let's say I'm a big wheel suitcase guy, you'll give me the notes of, like, you're falling short, blah, blah. And then you do this like two finger point to somebody, you go. Because you're a. You're a big wheel suitcase guy. Always talking about the wheel suitcase. But I don't see it. Like, I love how you find something that they're like really passionate about it. It's like, you talk this way, why aren't you walking it?

[Willie C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sherman Young]

I don't see it. I needed that at the airport and I. I'll attribute it to Jill got me this really sick gift that it's like a. She got on the tick tock shop, I'm pretty sure. But it's a suitcase that's like a. What are the things that you put your suits in those fabric covers for like your suits to travel? Yeah, like a suit cover.

[Willie C]

Yes, it's called suit cover.

[Sherman Young]

Suit cover. And it's a suit cover that then zips into a duffel bag that you can pack stuff in.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

So it's all in one. And I think that I just got like really, really excited about traveling with that for the first time, which it was epic to have that in its carry on size.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

But I was like, now that I have everything in this one thing, I don't even need my roller bag. Dude, you want a dad hack. Bring the fucking roller bag. Bring it.

[Willie C]

Repeat that hack.

[Sherman Young]

Repeat that hack. You need the roller bag. Go ahead, tell me, tell me a reason why we don't need the roller bag. Just anything.

[Willie C]

Like a reason why we don't need the roller.

[Sherman Young]

Just tell me like, oh, you don't need it.

[Willie C]

Because a reason you don't need the roller bag is if you're trying to get in the doghouse, you need the rollerback. Yeah, that would be a ding, ding, ding. That would be right.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, oh, you were saying you.

[Willie C]

I'm saying, hey, you don't want to use the rollerbag. A reason to not use the roller bag in the doghouse. Ding, ding.

[Sherman Young]

I was thinking more like, oh, roller bags aren't manly.

[Willie C]

You don't want to bring a roller bag for the reason being you want to be a piece of father. And you know too, there's dad hack. There's some great videos out there on folding your suits in a suitcase. Yeah, that one, that one tickled your pickle right there.

[Sherman Young]

You need to just. When you see it down in the airport without a roller bag, just make sure to tell him, you piece of.

[Willie C]

You piece of. And he's got a kiddo with him, hey, what a piece of.

[Sherman Young]

I bet she changes all the diapers too. Bless your heart, sweetie. You put up with that. Golly.

[Willie C]

Unless they're old enough and you can rock carry ons.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Willie C]

She got her own little backpack. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

You know what I mean?

[Sherman Young]

Yes. Sherm.

[Willie C]

Did you at least do the classic.

[Sherman Young]

Take the. The woman's bag at home and make sure it's under 50 pounds, kind of by just judging?

[Willie C]

Yeah, That's a classic.

[Sherman Young]

That's a classic dad move.

[Willie C]

That's a. That's a dad's take. Pride.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yeah.

[Willie C]

In grabbing that roller bag, lifting it up, and be like, I think you're gonna be good.

[Sherman Young]

Well. And a very sweet lady working the ticket aisle. We were at 50, like, 0.2.

[Willie C]

Been there.

[Sherman Young]

And she was like, technically, you're over. But we had little scarlet right here. Technically, you're over. And they will say something when you're flying back. I'm not going to say anything about it, sweetie.

[Willie C]

Tag and bag, y'.

[Sherman Young]

All Just make sure you move, you know, one or two things into. Into dad's bag.

[Willie C]

I like doing the move where, say, it's a pound over. Charles gets the suitcase down, undoes the suitcase, and while she's down there trying to maneuver between suitcases, trying to balance the weight while everybody else is waiting light. Now we're holding up everybody else. I like just standing there with the kiddo saying, I told you so.

[Sherman Young]

I love doing that.

[Willie C]

I tried telling you.

[Sherman Young]

Is it all bras? Honey, did you pack too many bras?

[Willie C]

Hers will be like 52, and mine will be like 34.

[Sherman Young]

Maybe.

[Willie C]

I told you.

[Sherman Young]

Maybe it's that eighth pair of high heels in there. I like trying to guess which item is going to be the one we pull out. That one's like 1.3 pounds. You can take that out and put that over here, and then we'll be good for it.

[Willie C]

Yeah. And then you just start commentating and just looking at their bag for the first time, like, you know, we're just going to dinner.

[Sherman Young]

You could. You could wear that hoodie right now.

[Willie C]

And we're just going to be outside. It's going to be outside barbecuing the whole time. I don't know why you got four different pairs of heels in there.

[Sherman Young]

You always tried to look so pretty. What's up with that?

[Willie C]

What up with that?

[Sherman Young]

He's still shaking the

[Willie C]

Ruth's four years old for three years old. She's £40.

[Sherman Young]

Mama's always trying to look pretty. What's up with that?

[Willie C]

Rural. She's trying to always make herself look nice. How dumb is that?

[Sherman Young]

You look at the ticket lady I'm a riot with her friends. Her friends love me. I'm a riot.

[Willie C]

We'll be a few more minutes back there. Hey, excuse me, man. Can we get another one of these open? Like we got people working.

[Sherman Young]

Wait, my wife's bag's over 50, guys. He gets it. He gets it. A little PT sicko back there.

[Willie C]

Or if it's 50.2, they didn't want to allow 50.2. We're gonna get a couple ounces out and then you just. You hit him with the. Dan Hurley. Just forehead to forehead on the lady working behind the desk. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

What's your name, sweetheart? Shelby. Yeah, Shelby's guy. She's sticking real close to the 50 pound. Thanks, Shelby. Make sure you come to this booth. Yeah, but that's what. That's what good dads do.

[Willie C]

Yeah, yeah, for the dads, man.

[Sherman Young]

For the dads.

[Willie C]

We're here for the dads.

[Sherman Young]

Do you want to jump into some follow ups from last week?

[Willie C]

Let's hit a couple comments. Let's hit a couple comments. I got one right here from Jonathan Vella on Spotify. I'm no scientist, but if kids mouths are 50 the size of an adults, they only got a brush for 50 of the time. One minute. It is. I'm saying. Well, I do. One minute.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

So 30 seconds. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, that's perfect.

[Willie C]

Clump sent me a funny button. He told me about this from the episode last week. We were talking about brushing the kiddo's teeth and how Ru favors her dad brushing her teeth because dad does it faster. And then mama catches me and doing it for like 12, 15 seconds at a time.

[Sherman Young]

Does she sue or what?

[Willie C]

She doesn't sue. She doesn't sue.

[Sherman Young]

Okay, good.

[Willie C]

You know, it's just verbal lashings to where we go to bed alone at night. Joking, joking. When he sent me this button, Clump sent me this button that he's like, Lynn's wanted me to send you this Clump's wife. It's like this button that you press and then it'll. It'll blink and go ding, ding, ding. Like when the timer's up for brushing teeth. Like, oh, yeah, let me get one of those. Oh, that's like. Let me. Let me systematize brushing teeth now.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, that's gonna be great. Let's put another added layer of to of dad to do.

[Willie C]

Yeah, let's. Let's do another step of trying to get rude out for bed.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, Just another constant reminder. Is something that kind of badass? Yeah, that's perfect. I do Have a write in from, I believe, Green Bay packers running back Josh Jacobs.

[Willie C]

Yeah, Josh Jacobs.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, Josh Jacobs on Spotify. He wrote in. Josh Jacobs said, mock the girl dad hat. Don't be shocked when the nine iron comes out at you like Tiger's ex wife and your ass is swimming in the pool in the pond.

[Willie C]

Thanks, Josh.

[Sherman Young]

Jacob. That's sick. I can't believe he listens to the show.

[Willie C]

Yeah, he must have put that. He must have dropped that comment when the episode came out.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Then you see what happened over the weekend with Tiger and you're like, oh, buddy, buddy, this comment's gonna hit like crack.

[Sherman Young]

Josh, what else, Rob? Rob W78 on YouTube also said, Sherm, I'm also dealing with AC issues right now. Good, good. The same issues you are. Good thing I'm in Ohio. So it was 70 degrees one day, AC motor stopped working, then 30 degrees the next day. That's ideal for the heat going out. Ordered a new motor, came in yesterday. The fan was literally rusted permanently to the old motor shaft.

[Willie C]

Good, good.

[Sherman Young]

That means a full replacement. He'll probably say that. Ordered a fan and it should arrive tomorrow just in time for tips to rise back to the upper 70s. You'll learn once you purch house, most things are easier to fix than you think. And there are a ton of resources on the Internet. Rob W 78, quick note from him essentially, to break down all the AC knees that he just spoke. If you have an AC unit and you are a believer in YouTube University, those parts are doable to fix yourself, which is what Michael, that AC repair guy, was essentially timing. Hey, once you own your own house and this is your unit, there's really only like four to five parts that you need to learn. And like four to five little, what's it called, symptoms that you need to learn to be able to diagnose what's wrong with your AC unit and then you're not having to pay somebody else to fix it.

[Willie C]

That. That is the game. YouTube universe.

[Sherman Young]

The game.

[Willie C]

It's like when something's broken. It's gotten to the point that as a dad, you are now in the process of. Do I make the decision to jump on YouTube and figure this out? Because I know, I know that I can.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, you did it with your. God, my brain's not working today. Generator.

[Willie C]

Generator, yes. You're. You're generating the Gannorak 5000. Yeah, yeah. I called my uncle up, watch some YouTube videos and yeah, I kind of had to because the ice storm was coming and nobody was Going to be working on the weekend.

[Sherman Young]

It kind of popped up. Yeah.

[Willie C]

Kind of like thrusting me to like, hey, buddy, you better figure this out.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Before the ice storm fully hits and we're without power. But yeah, that's such a good point because you can figure all this out. It's just like you're sitting there on the couch. I had a beautiful day. The game's on. Like, don't want to lay. You know, call somebody.

[Sherman Young]

And to the dad that's sitting next to his wife right now, hearing me say that. And it's gone. F you, dude.

[Willie C]

But there are. What are you guys being like, they're on it.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, there are some dads.

[Willie C]

Like, all these. All these pieces of dads out there, they can't fix their own stuff. Like, it ain't that hard.

[Sherman Young]

It ain't that hard. And I just went all. All to say, I'm one of those piece of dads. I have YouTube University, but I need to do more of it.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Because it. It is like, that's a real dad's

[Willie C]

knowing how simple it can be. That's where they, in their mind think, like, should I just start my own business?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

There's enough people out there that need help with their AC units because they just don't want to take the time to learn about it. But it's quite simple.

[Sherman Young]

We do. Just a very quick note. I know we're. We're kind of flying through. We're under an hour.

[Willie C]

This is good vibes.

[Sherman Young]

This is good vibes.

[Willie C]

We're keeping it under an hour.

[Sherman Young]

Today we received some gifts from John Malecki, who is a YouTube creator, a podcaster, a former Pittsburgh Steeler, a former Pittsburgh Panthers. This is a pit guy. Derek has some connections with some of his team. We were thinking of ways to get involved with them, and one way that we've just kind of put into the ether. This isn't official is they have some, like, building kits for cornhole, like, you know, building kit to build your own cornhole set. And they're thinking about sending one of those to you and me and having us build it. And you got to build it from scratch with the tools. How's that look for. I'm gonna be there with you. We're doing it together. We're a team. Dude.

[Willie C]

I know you want me to build a cornhole set from the ground up.

[Sherman Young]

I gotta do it too. I'm not. I'm no woodworking.

[Willie C]

You're kind of a handyman.

[Sherman Young]

I like I said, I'll YouTube university.

[Willie C]

You're much quicker to get on a ladder than old Willie. One show.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah. But like, the meme of the. You son of a. And then we go like that. Where? That's gonna. Us, dude.

[Willie C]

Okay.

[Willie C]

Yeah. All right. Oh, I'll build a cornhole. I'll build a house.

[Sherman Young]

And if we don't sue us, I'm

[Willie C]

always good for, like, seeing my wife's making dinner for the night. And she'd be like, hey, honey, can you. Can you chop. Can you chop this tomato? I'm quick to be like, oh, so now I'm making dinner. She'll do everything else, every other step of the process. But once you, like, I gotta do one thing. It's like, okay, so now I'm basically making dinner. I thought she was making dinner.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, but Will, after yours.

[Willie C]

Oh, you need some help? Let me just take over all the chilies in the pot, and I just. I just pick up. Hey, sweetheart, can you stir the chili? Okay, I'm making dinner now.

[Sherman Young]

Always stirring.

[Willie C]

Yeah, it always.

[Sherman Young]

Always starts with stirring. And then it's like, oh, well, we do need some garlic if you want to get, like, mince some garlic for me.

[Willie C]

No, I thought you were doing dinner tonight.

[Sherman Young]

The baby's just covered in piss, and it's bawling. What are you doing?

[Willie C]

What's up, Chef? I was just gonna say after your garage, hang up the.

[Sherman Young]

The racks to put everything on, part

[Willie C]

of me felt like, you.

[Sherman Young]

You've got a sense of accomplishment. Out of that part of me goes, he might, might.

[Willie C]

If he can buy in a little

[Sherman Young]

bit more, Whether it's cornhole boards, we

[Willie C]

might get you a little bug of being like, oh, yeah, this is fun

[Sherman Young]

to learn how to make.

[Willie C]

It's in there. It's just consistency, you know? But I'll tell you this. I was on the garage yesterday clearing it all out because Sorenex is coming in outfit the gym today. Like, papa Team Fit's going to be fully up and running here by the end of the week.

[Sherman Young]

Come on.

[Willie C]

Treadmills getting in there. We got the entire operation, all the boys. American made steel just in the garage. Sore necks.

[Sherman Young]

You're putting the jerseys up.

[Willie C]

Jerseys are going up. And I. You know what I was about to say? I'll hang the jerseys, but I might not hang the jerseys. But I'm. The jerseys are getting up.

[Sherman Young]

Don't have to hang the jerseys. Don't have to hang the jerseys.

[Willie C]

But it's going to be looking right, bro. Yeah, we're going to be. We're going to be ready to rock.

[Sherman Young]

That's going to be fun.

[Willie C]

Yeah, it's going to be fun. They're at the house right now, but I'll say it. Cleared out the garage yesterday. Got Rue sweeping, brooming with me, sweeping out the leaves, getting everything cleaned up. She was operating. Scotty was just getting into everything else. Scotty, no, no, no, get off that.

[Sherman Young]

She's grabbing the 40 pound dumbbells already

[Willie C]

and just trying to climb on everything, bro. Scotty is just. I call her a menace, but she's a menace, bro. Yeah. And she's clingy right now. I'll say this, I fully. Now that I've had two kiddos, my favorite age or month that takes place is 16. Sixteen months. That's when, like, their personality comes out. She's starting to, like, talk, you know what I mean? Like, can you say mama? Can you say daddy? Can you say waffle? Can you say ruru? And she does all of her little broken language to where, say she wants a pouch for a snack. I'll give her a pouch. I'll open it up, I'll throw the the cap in the trash and I'll hand it to her. And as I hand it to her down low, she'd be like, taku, Taku. Like saying thank you. Like she's like getting stuff to where. The 16th month, and it was the same with Rue. And I've always been like, oh, 16 month. I feel like that's when the personality comes out. Yeah, it's happening with Scotty and it's kind of just reinforcing that. That I love when they get around that 16th month mark because they're just starting to engage more. She's clingy as shit. She's a tackler. She's great at angles. She's great at like, say I'm maneuvering, like, again, being clingy. She's very good at seeking you out like a missile and grabbing your leg and then getting to where she gets both legs and her head is in between your kneecaps. Just kind of like yelling and moving like she wants you to pick her up. Scotty, I'm trying to operate right now. Please sit over here. Please play with your toys. But she just wants to be around you at all times. Very clingy. Love her to death, but she's all over the place, man.

[Sherman Young]

I do. I don't want to jump into, like, crack a cold one too fast. But I have a very fun cracker cold crack that I'm like, really excited about. Thank you, ollipop.

[Willie C]

Thank you, Ollipop. Crack the cold one. We can hit the cold ones.

[Sherman Young]

This crack a cold one is about as crisp as this crisp apple. I had my first connection, like my first little quote unquote thing with Scarlett over the wedding weekend. I'll give a quick shout out, no free shout out to mother in law. Lisa came in clutch again, drove down to Houston to babysit Scarlett, to allow mamas and dadas to go to rehearsal dinner and wedding and have some fun. Fun. Some quote unquote fun where you get

[Willie C]

in the car and you're like, we're doing it, dude, without the kiddo.

[Sherman Young]

And like, not to. Not to celebrate it, like in an inappropriate way. But, like, dude, I had a lot of fun on Friday. Like, Jill and I are dancing. We're. We're in the little party bus thing that they are taking because she was a bridesmaid. And we're riding along and one of the groom, or the groom is an LSU grad and is from Baton Rouge. And dude, they call them the boot beats. Like rap music from Louisiana. Bounce music.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And they have the boot beats going in the party bus. They played neck in the party bus. Brother, I haven't felt that young in a minute. It was really, really fun. So shout out mama Lisa for that. I do want to give her her props, but over the weekend, on Saturday morning, when I had a lot of fun on Friday, I had to dig in because Jill is gone on Saturday to go do all the wedding prep. The hair, the makeup. They have the matching pajamas. They do the tick tock dance like video.

[Willie C]

Yeah. You got the clipboard, you got the headset. It's on you. Nobody's coming to save you.

[Sherman Young]

I'm on. Oh, and you. And you were up all the night before. Good.

[Willie C]

Yeah. Hungover, good.

[Sherman Young]

You had. Yeah. You had probably the most alcohol that you've had in a year. I really haven't drinking in a year and a half when Jill got pregnant and it wasn't a conscious decision. So your boy's feeling some type of way on Saturday morning.

[Willie C]

You're older. I'm older.

[Sherman Young]

I'm older. And I got lock in. So I lock in and as I'm playing with Scarlett, I just have her on the bed facing me and I'm facing her. And we got a little TV in the background just for some noise. We're playing with stuff. And she has been doing the. On her own. And so I hit her with a. And she goes. And kind of lowers her head and smiles at me and goes. And I go, whoa, hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

I wait a good 20 seconds because I want her brain to go away from that. And I go. And she goes right back to me. I go, hold on, hold on, hold on. Because there's a lot of. There's a lot of stuff.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

That babies do. You don't know if there's any rhyme or reason. Mama Lisa's hanging out with Scarlett. I said, you know, I was kind of working with something with her this morning where I make a little fart noise. She makes one back. Lisa goes, really? I go, yeah. And now pressure's on. She's like, well, then do it, dad, if you're so good. I'm like halfway across the room. I go, scarlet, Scarlet. And she's slowly turns over to me and I go. And she goes,

[Willie C]

no shit. Yes.

[Sherman Young]

Yes. And it was incredible, dude. I'm just. I want that communication. You know how much of a talker I am. And I love, like, being able to communicate with people. And I'm so starved of it with Scarlett because she can't talk yet. And just that little taste, dude. Oh. And then we got home and on. Actually, last night I went to go pick her up from daycare. And I'm trying not to overdo it. I don't want to be that dad that's like.

[Willie C]

Like, oh, do the dance, do the dance.

[Sherman Young]

And then they don't want to do the dance anymore. But I was putting her to bed last night, and we were laying on her rug, and I hit her with a little. And she didn't smile back, but she went back.

[Willie C]

Damn, dude.

[Sherman Young]

It was incredible.

[Willie C]

Hey, guys. What a combo.

[Willie C]

All right, we're back. We're back from potty break. We're back from the cameras overheating. We're still on Crack a cold one. My cracker cold one. This week goes to Rue. Happy birthday, rue. Rue turns four on Friday on April 3rd. So rule officially. Happy four years old. How you doing? You know, mixed emotions.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

You're happy and sad at the same time. Like, you're. I'm so fired up and happy because I can just tell she's going to be, like, just a phenomenal. A phenomenal, like, young woman.

[Sherman Young]

Girl.

[Willie C]

Yeah. Like, as she continues to grow up, she's so kind. She's so intentional. She loves her sister Scotty so much. She loves us so much. She needs us so much. She loves learning new things. She's so curious. She's so, like, I get pumped about her potentially being athletic, but she's just. She's so many, like, positive things to where I get excited about her future because I know she's just going to be a great young woman.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

And then there's a part of you that's sad because they're just growing up. Like, I don't know, man.

[Sherman Young]

You're.

[Willie C]

You spend. If I could try and put words to it. It's like, you know how deeply you love your kids and how much you learn that you would do anything for them. You pour everything into them. They need you so much at this moment in time. These moments and memories are more for us than it is. I mean, it is for the kid, but I'm thinking in terms of, like, kids don't really. They'd say that kids don't really remember anything before the age of four.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

So I have a hard time knowing, like, all these memories are for us so much right now. And you try and embrace them as much as you can and hold on to them. I like you. Wish you could bottle all these moments up so much.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Because they're going to be gone one day because you raise them. They need you so much right now. And. And you pour everything into them so that way they can one day not need you.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

And operate in their own regards, have their own freedoms, be their own individual. That they are. And you're obviously going to be proud seeing the person and human being and adult that they become. But just knowing that when we do get to that point, which makes me sad. Makes me happy, but a lot sad when I reflect on it.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

It's just because I know when it gets there, I'm going to want all of these moments that I'm having with her back so much. So that's where it's like, I'm happy and fired up. That she's turning four. She. She's got a. We wrote it. We wrote a list on our breakfast date of what Rue wants to accomplish at 4 years old. And we're running through it, and it's just. I'm sitting there smiling and everything else. And Rue knows I'm both like, dad, are you happy? Are you sad? I'm all of these things because if I. If I reflect on parenthood again, I've only been a parent and a dad for four years now,

[Sherman Young]

so I got

[Willie C]

a long ways to go. But as I reflect into any new parents that are becoming new parents or have a little one right now, it's just like, the hardest part isn't the meltdowns and tantrums and stubbornness and all the things that you go through that make the shit hard and sucky constantly. Every day there's something new that's going on, something new that you're trying to embrace and stay in and be next to them on. That also makes it really difficult to. The hardest part of parenthood is watching them grow up. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, knowing that our job is to. And our responsibility is to raise as good of a human being as possible to operate in the world, and knowing that when that happens, they no longer need you. Knowing that is the hardest part for me as a dad, I feel like, is the hardest part. Start as a parent isn't all the. That we vent about and complain about and laugh about and you have fun with. Because they have tantrums all the time. They have meltdowns. They're screaming in the car for 30 minutes, and you're just like, God, get me out of here. Yeah, like, sweetheart, you take him. I'm beefing with Scotty tonight. Yeah, I'm beefing with Rue right now. I don't want to deal with them, but knowing like, yo, that's not the actual hardest part is knowing that one day they're not going to need all of this stuff that you're trying to pour into them. Them to function properly and to handle it, to be kind, to be a great person, to be. To want to be great at anything that they do. That's the toughest part. So just knowing that four is coming up and four is kind of that age Mark that, the little research and things that I hear about and read about and all the things, it's like, you know, four is like a new element that four to six range. And then it'll be six to eight or six to nine. And beyond that, like, all these Things are going to go away, and then you get to kind of relive them with your second one with Scotty, knowing that how fleeting it is. Because Ruby and four is like. Like, you scroll through the photo album, you scroll through all the things that you've done together, and you're like, we. We knock it out of the park. Like, dude, we live a great life. You live such an awesome life. We have so much fun at everything we do. And you're about to be four now.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Where does time go? And, hey, you gotta now you gotta be that much more. You think, like, how do I get in these moments more with Scotty knowing how fleeting it is? And one day, Scotty's gonna be four.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

When Rue's turning. What is that? Six, seven? I don't know. Come on. But that. That is what I think about, like, as I reflect. And as I think about Rue turning

[Sherman Young]

four, I have an added page for you on that that hit me this weekend because this was my first wedding. Going to have, like, truly having a daughter and not really putting much thought into that future yet, because I'm. I'm down. I'm back over here.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

You know, she's eating her kale apple crisp little spoon puffs. And I'm proud of that. I'm like, oh, my gosh. Like, she can put it in her mouth herself. And we went to this wedding and shout out the father of the bride that I've had a lot of interaction with, Mr. Matthias. Awesome dad. He is a PT sicko. And he has one girl, and that is like, he. He loves her. And watching him walk down with her, I was sitting aisle, and I was looking at him as he was coming down the aisle and not Meg the bride. Congrats, Meg and Sam. And seeing how proud he was, like, walking his daughter down the aisle. And then that moment of, who gives this woman her mother and I? And then he. He messed up and forgot to shake Sam's hand because he's rushing to go sit down because that moment is probably so big for him. And I'm sitting there going, damn it, dude, that will be me.

[Willie C]

Yeah. And then he gives a toast.

[Sherman Young]

He gives a toast.

[Willie C]

And you're right now in real time formulating part of your toast speech. I'd be like, scar, Scar. I was sitting at a wedding and you're eating your apple crisp pop, whatever you just named. And now I've seen you grow up to be this woman that you are. And all you want is like, I wish I had those moments back. Of you just eating your goddamn dude. Right? Like, that is. That is the game that we're in. Yeah, dude. And it's amazing. And it's sad knowing, like, you do get to those parts. And it's just such a mixture. I don't. I don't know how to sit there. And it's like I'm leaning to the sadness or I'm leaning to that. It's all of the emotions.

[Sherman Young]

A beautiful thing to then see Jill's friend Meg as this woman that has grown up. She was the little thing with the puffs and Mr. Matthias was sitting there and like, she. I mean, dude, she's a go getter. Like, she's a stud and is this incredible young woman. And I'm like, oh, my gosh, I want Scarlett to be that too. Like, there's a big part of me that's like, I gotta do a really good job to make sure that we do get to this moment. I do get to hand her off to, like, this awesome guy. But it's just really, really, really sad. Yeah, I mean, I. You said it. And it made me tear up of, like, the realization of that. Dude, that sucks. Yeah.

[Willie C]

It's like life rips, but life wife also is a yeah, dude. Because I sit there and think, like, do we do pizza Friday? Every Friday? She's so excited. Mama, can I help you set the table? Can I help you? Like, just engage in the tribal mentality that the family operates in. Like, wanting to be helpful. And even when mama does bedtime. I've talked about this. Even when mama does bedtime, I'm the closer. Like, I go. And she wants dad at a lay down with her and scratch her arm and scratch her back. Because I got into that habit when she was young. And I'm trying to find a different way to where I'm not picking her up and holding her out of the crib. I want to let her know that I'm next to her and I'm like, rubbing her arm and rubbing her little fingers and rubbing her hand. Then it came to let that give you a massage so that way we can get through a couple books and know when daddy does massage and scratch your back. It's also time for bedtime. That morphed into, now that she has her own bed, she still wants back scratches and rubs from that. So I lay in bed with her every night without fail. Like, unless I'm out of town, it's daddy does bedtime. Mama comes in, gives her a hug, kiss, and three squeezes. Dad's still laying next to her as I rub her back and scratch her back. If mama does bedtime, mom comes out down the stairs, dada, you're up. Because she's like, make sure to send. Dead end. I go in bed and lay with her for a few minutes to rub her arm and scratch her back. And I am the last person she sees basically the majority of nights. And one day, that's going to be part of my speech of, like, man, I hope. Or you just. You're thinking yourself, I hope I am.

[Sherman Young]

Every night.

[Willie C]

Every night. And one night every night. I don't know what age it is, but there's going to come a time to where she doesn't want me to do that every night. You know what I mean? And there's going to be, like, a death that I personally have with myself. Because you want to hang on to these moments so long to where you get so close to them and so bought in, but you know that there's going to be an ending down the road, which is both beautiful and shitty at the same time. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Because you should ask. You should ask the groom to promise you that he'll scratch your back every night when you do your speech. Because that's where my mind goes of like, I'm gonna be on my. Metaphorically on my hands and knees begging that dude, like, treat her well, dude. Like, please.

[Willie C]

You're gonna be 10 toes down being like, I was that man. Now you're that man.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it makes you want to be a better husband, which is a good thing of, like, you know how often I fall short in that regard. And just like, it. It's so cool having a girl. One of my. One dude. One of my. Now I'm really gonna cry. One of my close friends is having a girl, and he just called me, and I teared up when he told me about it. I kept it cool. Like, he. Of course they could tell that I

[Willie C]

teared up, like, kept it. Hey, my boy called me. Does he have any kids?

[Sherman Young]

Zero.

[Willie C]

So this is first one.

[Sherman Young]

First one.

[Willie C]

He called you and told you and you're tearing up, but also you kept it cool.

[Sherman Young]

Kept it so cool, dude. And also f him because I'm like, how is Lake Tahoe? They went on the ski trip. It was great. Blah, blah. The. The wifey, she didn't ski at all because she's pregnant. It. What? Wait, hold on. What? And then they're telling me it's a baby girl and all this stuff, and I'm like, dude, he has no idea. But I'm also so excited for him because I know the type of guy he is. And I'm like, dude. Like, oh, just the opportunity that dads have with girls and shout out the boy dads, dude. Of course we have so many boy dad PT sickos are like, like, talk about us. And I get that we do need to talk about the boy dads more, but the girl dads have such opportunity with these girls that it's just sick to like, be at a wedding and see that celebration of life and see that dad that's so proud and so happy to give away his daughter. And like, I don't know, dude.

[Willie C]

It's just a bond where even when you do the. Oh, it's like there's. You just can't describe the bond that you have with your children. Even if you talk about boy dads. Like, yeah, we don't have boys, but we are men. Like, we were raised by men. Like, we know all the shortcomings that our dads had to where, you know, if you had a. If I clone myself or I have a boy one day, like, I know I'm going to be harder on him because I want him to be a better man than me.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Willie C]

But you also have to have this. This empathy bug in there of, okay, when were times where I had anxiety or too much of a fear around my dad to where I feel like I couldn't connect or talk with him because you want to make him proud so badly. To where in those moments are still teaching moments for you with your son to where, yes, you can be hard on him. We all know we're going to be hard on our boys. You want them to be men.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Good men. The right men do everything the right way. Don't get caught up in the other. But you also have to think about when are the times that I felt as a boy growing up where I was a little too scared about something or I had there. There was a fear or a failure or a letdown or something to where there was. There were some of these disconnects with my dad.

[Sherman Young]

Right.

[Willie C]

My dad was awesome. Yeah. My dad was also tough love. Very hard on me. Very much like Dan Gable. A lot of our quotes like, I had the. I've had the life that I've had because my dad was half of it. But there are things that I can think about to where if I have a boy, I know I'll have to catch myself on wanting to be too hard on them and back. Hey, Willie, try to Remember. Try to remember some of the disconnects that maybe me and my dad had. Yeah. To where I'm sitting there because now I have this empathy gene because I've had girls, like, the patience, the love, the. The care to help them develop, like, as their brain is developing, like, boys are going through the same thing. You know, you're not just harder on them because it's like always. A boy will figure it out.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Like, no, no, no. Sit with them.

[Sherman Young]

Them.

[Willie C]

Sit with them and try to put yourself in his little undeveloped brain right now and try to walk with him and try to do all these things to help mold him. It's like, we don't have boys, but we can still try. And like, we. We are men. Like, we are guys. To where there's a lot of the similar character. Like, men and women are very different, but still, there's a lot of common things that you're still sitting with them on and trying to help them understand why they're feeling what they're feeling. Hey, it is okay to talk about what you're feeling. Yeah. Yeah. There are times when you do need to talk about, like, what's on your mind there. There are times when you shouldn't be suppressing. I can see the road we're going down being a little too hard on you to sit there to where I feel like you're not talking to me. I've done a poor job of not creating a space for you to talk to me. We can talk. And I'll tell you why everything happens.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. There's a. The grading scale that I've created in my head if I did have a boy, is that he is such a terrific man. He is such a great human, that when that girl. Dad is letting their bride go on that wedding day.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

It's that much easier because they know the type of man that they're letting their daughter marry.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

If that makes sense.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Like, being able to grade that as, like, I know how great my son is. Because I'm. I'm partial. That's my son. But others see it in him. Others see it in the way that he is treating his significant other, his friends, his blah, blah, blah. Like, this is. This is a true PT Sicko.

[Willie C]

PT Sicko. It's good stuff, man. We do have some new. We're on the new dad kicks. I have a new dad. Shout out right here from Brandon Clark.

[Sherman Young]

Come on.

[Willie C]

Via email, boys. PT Sickle from Sydney, Australia. That was my. That was my attempt at an accent. Proud father of a Two year old boy currently listening in the hospital birthing suite after the arrival of baby number two. You, our little girl. Reflecting as I sit on my little chair on how proud I am of my wife and how lucky we are that we get to do this again.

[Sherman Young]

Yup.

[Willie C]

My son punched me in the balls last night. So I'm also casually reminding her that I feel her pain. She's not appreciating it, but I digress. Good. Also reflecting on just how much the pod has influenced me as a father. Whether it be the countless lessons, quotes to live by, or a weekly reminder of the shared wins and losses we all feel faces, dads. I've truly loved every episode. Keep up the good work. Cheers, cunts. Go birds, let's go.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, dude.

[Willie C]

I got one here from William Desh on Spotify. Hello, my name is William Desh and I'm a huge fan of your show and I'm proud. I'm a proud father of two beautiful girls. I love listening to your show because it brings me comfort knowing that I'm not alone in figuring out fatherhood. I never knew how much being a father would impact the way I live my life and I wouldn't change it for the world. Listening to you guys has been fant a fantastic time and I love everything you guys do on the show. Keep up the great work and remember to take out the trash. Thank you, William. Shout out, William. Shout out to Spotify comment. Drop the Spotify comments.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, drop the Spotify comment. I got Brandon baldwin here on YouTube. Brandon says, what's up my Name is Brandon. I live in South Carolina. Go, cocks. I started listening to the pod about a year ago, and as a father of two boys, two years and four months old, I really feel like I learn a lot of new hacks I never would have thought of or tried before. My wife and I have tried all the methods we can think of for potty training, and he's just not telling us when he has to go. It's frustrating because it's really not that hard to pee in or at least near the toilet anyway. I was just curious how it went for y'. All. Love the pod. Y' all are crushing it.

[Willie C]

What was this question on the potty?

[Sherman Young]

They're not going in the toilet, man.

[Willie C]

With boys, I hear it's. It's hard. It's more difficult for the body game. You don't know where that thing's gonna go. You're trying to teach. You got the little O's attached, man.

[Sherman Young]

What do I do with this? What is this? Take them outside.

[Willie C]

Don't. Don't teach him. It's okay to go outside. The boys do. Yeah. Your parents.

[Sherman Young]

What my parents did?

[Willie C]

Did. Did care or didn't care?

[Sherman Young]

It didn't care.

[Willie C]

Yeah, my parents didn't care.

[Sherman Young]

There's a tree. There you go.

[Willie C]

You grew up on the little sticker of the little kid pissing on whatever logo. Yeah. Be on it.

[Sherman Young]

And then you're doing your name. It's fun.

[Willie C]

Yeah, it's fun.

[Sherman Young]

It's fun, Big daddy.

[Willie C]

It's fun.

[Sherman Young]

It's fun.

[Willie C]

Dakota Filippo on YouTube, boys. I've been watching for a couple weeks now. I've never really watched podcasts, but I absolutely love this dude. Shout out. Shout out. Shout out. Papa Team 6. Your advice and story sharing makes me want to be a better fiance to my so

[Sherman Young]

significant other.

[Willie C]

Oh, okay. To my significant other.

So significant other to my significant other. And a better father to my son and daughter. I just received some merch in the mail this trash day and couldn't be happier. Embrace the chaos, boys. Keep up the great work and don't forget to take out the trash.

[Willie C]

Oh, he's taking.

[Sherman Young]

Today's my trash today. It's Tuesday for me.

[Willie C]

What's today?

[Sherman Young]

We record on Tuesday. The show drops on Wednesdays. Yeah, I forgot. Trash.

[Willie C]

As you were listening, it's trash day.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Willie C]

Oh, you forgot.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Hold your applause.

[Willie C]

I thought.

[Sherman Young]

Hold your applause.

[Willie C]

Good. I thought today was Wednesday, and I was like, I forgot.

[Sherman Young]

And that's perfect. Because we went out of town and it, you know, it's already all built so good. So it's all great.

[Willie C]

Let's wait till next week. Keep adding more trash, too.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, That'll be fun. Hey, maybe I'll go dumpster diving again.

[Willie C]

Yeah. You know what you didn't do? You got me right one time. You didn't hit me up, up.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, that's true. I. I should.

[Willie C]

You're two minutes away from the shop. You could hit any of the boys up.

[Sherman Young]

That's so true.

[Willie C]

Not the roller bag. Not the trash.

[Sherman Young]

Like, what's going on? And I'm. I'm not asking that. Like, what's going on with you? Like, what. What is going on?

[Willie C]

Yeah, what's going on? Cuz we got to figure it the out.

[Sherman Young]

Give me one of those tiger speeches. That's why use a tiger when you should be part of the pack.

[Willie C]

Yeah. He thought he had me with the. The tiger talk. He's like, tiger, it's more about pride and, like, getting your stuff in order. It's like, that's how I know you're not ready. Because you're talking about pride over pack. When you're talking about pack over pride, that's when I know you're ready. When you're thinking of things beyond yourself and you're thinking about other people, that's when I know you're ready. You're growing.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah,

[Willie C]

I. We. We texted about that video. Video.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, we texted. I was just. I was. I was looking for like a little.

[Willie C]

I know, I know. Well, now I'm in the box.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll get me right. You'll get me right.

[Willie C]

Oh, we'll have a. I'm big on you. Feel a moment happening. Let's remove the person from the moment. Let's get out of there and say, that's. Don't even worry about that. Like, what's on your mind?

[Sherman Young]

You're big on that.

[Willie C]

Big. And remove it. Let's have a one on one.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Did with Rue this morning. I walk in, Sorenex is setting up outside. I walk in, and Rue is losing her mind. All she wanted to do was have Scotty's llama. The wubbinub. Big wubbin up family.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Rooster rips. Her tiggy pacifier is now off of it. Because over time, wear and tear, Scotty's is a llama. Rue wanted llama for some reason. So she could put a little. Her little plastic knife, like, toy knife, like, and just put it in the Hole of the webinar. Cool. That was literally it. Cool. Because when Char went over, she's like, all right, here. Here it is. And then Ruth's crying and, like, putting it in, and she's like, do you feel better? And I'm thinking, what the hell is going on? Is this all she want wanted? We're trying to get her to finish her chicken sausage, and Rue's still crying.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

So I was just like, hey, do you want to hug? You want that to pick you up? She reaches up, I pick her up. We just walk to a different room. Yeah, we get her. Hey, let's stop crying. Let's talk. Like, what's going on? What's the problem?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Why are you sad right now? Saying it. I. Hey, I got you. It's okay to be sad. Yeah, but we know we gotta. We gotta finish the job in there. We gotta eat your chicken. We gotta eat your chicken sausage.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

So let's wipe the tears. Hey, give that a big hug. Just lay on me right now. Now you want me to hold you for a second? Yeah, I want that to hold me. I'll hold you for a second. But when we walk back in there. New you. Yeah, new you. We're gonna sit down, we're gonna eat the chicken sausage.

[Sherman Young]

And now is Dada doing rituals on his podcast? Is that making you want to simulate sacrificing a llama? Is this my fault?

[Willie C]

Is this dead ass doing because Dada can you see the seance a few weeks ago?

[Sherman Young]

Is that what's going on? Because I'm proud of you, kiddo. But let's not do that.

[Willie C]

Yeah, but big on removing. Let's have a one on one. Let's talk. Let's get away from the noise.

[Sherman Young]

That's a good note. That's a good note. I. I have our final little general comment from Josh Duncan on the gram. As a member of Papa Team Six, can I make a recommendation for the Baby Team Six merge? I think there should be an infantry division for the babies on the front line out there causing havoc.

[Willie C]

Damn good young infantry infantry division.

[Sherman Young]

He cooked.

[Willie C]

He cooked, he cooked. I want to say, did I take a screenshot?

[Sherman Young]

We might need to pull him into our next internal meeting.

[Willie C]

Yeah, next internal meeting. I have one here from Ron Holmes on Spotify Merch idea. Oh, y' all should make a going home bundle a shirt and. Or a hat for the dads, Something for the moms. Maybe a hat or something that Jill or Charo. I spelled that how it sounds. Charl. He put two r's it's one R. It's one r. Wish they had when they left the hospital a blanket or a beanie for the baby.

[Sherman Young]

That's a. What a great idea.

[Willie C]

That's a phenomenal idea.

[Sherman Young]

What a great. What an awesome idea.

[Willie C]

We'll talk about it.

[Sherman Young]

We'll talk about.

[Willie C]

Look into it. Yeah, we'll look into it.

[Sherman Young]

With something that new and fresh, we'll should probably look into it. Look into it.

[Willie C]

We'll look into it. We'll look into it. Because I. We love the idea.

[Sherman Young]

First time we ever.

[Willie C]

And if you're just hearing us, if this happens to be your first episode and that was one of your comments or it's just your first episode and you're wondering the vibe that's taking place right now. The PT sickos understand the vibe taking place right now.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Willie C]

Great idea. We love it.

[Sherman Young]

Idea.

[Willie C]

Look into it.

[Sherman Young]

I have a dad. I think you guys are thinking different things right now. We are. Okay.

[Willie C]

Okay.

[Sherman Young]

I'm on your page though. Are here. I know you're. You're again. The trauma you faced previously in life does not come from chef or I. This is not an attack on you.

[Willie C]

Will.

[Sherman Young]

We love you.

[Willie C]

I'm not feeling an attack. I'm saying we'll look into it. Okay. I'm saying if there's just a first time viewer and they're wondering like, why are they.

[Sherman Young]

Gotcha. The potential first time viewers, like, do

[Willie C]

they love the idea or they not love the idea? Because we're like, we love the idea.

[Sherman Young]

We love the idea. Love the idea.

[Willie C]

We'll look into it.

[Sherman Young]

Yes. My. Hey, we love the idea.

[Willie C]

We love it.

[Sherman Young]

J Roma 9000, 109 on YouTube. He has a dad loss here. Dad loss. My daughter has a ton of hair and I was in charge of getting her ready for picture day at school because mom has to be in work early. I sent in a couple hair ties with her and asked her to ask the teacher to fix her hair.

[Willie C]

So as the dad lost, he didn't do the hair. He needed somebody else to do it.

[Sherman Young]

Do the hair. I will say this. I said I wasn't gonna say it on the pod, but I'll put it out there. I'll put it out there.

[Willie C]

Put it out there,

[Sherman Young]

dad. When he knew it was picture day, that's a like if we're talking baseline, dad win.

[Willie C]

Dad win. You understand what your weaknesses are.

[Sherman Young]

So there's two right there. Did he prepare? Sounds like he did. He got some hair ties and asked his daughter to ask the Teacher to do the hair.

[Willie C]

Do we know how old the daughter is?

[Sherman Young]

No, we did not. We did not.

[Willie C]

So you could be playing in a gray area there. Do you trust your daughter to go inside and ask to get her hair done?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Willie C]

So maybe.

[Sherman Young]

Maybe, like. Well, I'm guessing she's not old enough to do her own hair.

[Willie C]

Correct. But is she going to remember to ask the question when she walks in, which is old? That could be a win.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, that could be a win. But I think even though that is a dad loss, we'll chalk it up as a loss.

[Willie C]

I think fundamentally, let's just create a standard. Fundamentally, all dads need to understand how to just do a ponytail.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Willie C]

Just one simple. Whether it's low, pony, high, pony, pony. Just working your fingers, working your hands. You just get a hair tie on them.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Willie C]

Tighten it up.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Willie C]

Pull. Pull the ponytail. So the. The little thing, he gets tighter to their head.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. I.

[Willie C]

To me, that's. That's a standard. That's fundamental.

[Sherman Young]

I think so. Okay. I think so. I think that's a dad loss. I think he did a. Did a good job of, hey, I've already fallen short here. And instead of just like, oh, well, guys. So there was some prep. I understand it. But we gotta learn how to do the ponytail. I want to learn how to bread.

[Willie C]

My wife saw me about learning how to braid. So can I get in the. Can I get in the car with him? Can I get in the foxhole with him? Share an example that just happened yesterday. You're in the car, in the car

[Sherman Young]

with them with J. Roma.

[Willie C]

Similar experience. Mom left. Ruse had a lice incident to where her hair. We want it braided. We don't just want a loose ponytail. We don't want her hair down. We want to braid it or something to where it's tight. And I guess you minimize the risk for getting lice because she's gotten lice from school. Cool.

[Sherman Young]

Good.

[Willie C]

But yesterday I forgot to get her hair done. But I don't. I don't know how to do the braid. Hand up. Sue me. I don't know how to braid hair yet. Charlotte does try to teach me. She wants me to sit there and observe, do all the things. Yeah, I'm good with the ponytail. I can rip ponytails all day long. I can now do a little ballet bun. As long as I watch a YouTube video.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Willie C]

But I forgot. I forgot to have our nanny. As we're sitting there, she would do her hair. Hey, tell her what she needs. Rue just got in Hair down, long hair, don't care. She was rocking the clay Matthews. Before game day. On game day.

[Sherman Young]

Good hood.

[Willie C]

We're driving into school. I'm now realizing my dad lost like you. I forgot to do that. I didn't even know, like, there was no. I gotta get this done. I'm aware that I'm not getting it done. It wasn't until I was in the car line and being like, damn, I forgot to do her hair.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

What I did. Improvise, adapt, overcome. Pulled up, saw the teacher. Hey, Ms. So and so, do you have two hair ties? Well, of course. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Could you. When you go inside, could you braid ruse hair for me? She's all R on me right now that I didn't get her hair braided. She's like, of course I'll braid Rude's hair. So I know the job got done. But dad lost with my man who just wrote in. Yeah, same thing happened to me. Yeah, same thing happened to me.

[Sherman Young]

I'm seeing this whole pints and ponies thing and we. We've been sending it. Derek's been sending into the group. We reached out and just said hi to them. We're mutual friends now with pints and ponies.

[Willie C]

Oh, are we really? Do we should.

[Sherman Young]

Should.

[Willie C]

And you. You said it. We should 1000% do a pint. Pints and ponies.

[Sherman Young]

And they're in the uk. They are in the uk. They're of a separate brand, which I can look into and figure out. So this is like. It's two guys that do host, like an entity in a podcast. This is an event they started. They're getting picked up. It is over in the uk so we not need to call it beers and braids.

[Willie C]

Oh. Oh, my God.

[Sherman Young]

Oh.

[Willie C]

Hey, hey. We'll look into it.

[Sherman Young]

We'll look into it. We'll look into it. Man.

[Willie C]

Beers and braids.

[Sherman Young]

That'd be sick.

[Willie C]

That's good.

[Sherman Young]

That's good. Yeah. Do you want to do dad? I have a dad win and a. And a shout out here too. I feel like we're kind of just like racing through.

[Willie C]

Okay.

[Sherman Young]

This has been floating for multiple, multiple, multiple weeks and it's a really good one from our Reddit page. So I want to shout out our Reddit page. First and foremost, you guys are cooking on there. This was a discussion that was posted on our Reddit page. Will I will read this out and maybe all of us can answer quickly on what our answer would be. And before you dive into, I do want to say the Reddit page, completely active and happening. Four days ago there was a comment that said, hey, just found out about this sub. So it is now that people aren't even looking at the pod they find in the sub, which is the group on Reddit. And just attaching to that what he said, it does look like an awesome podcast though. I'm a first time dad. My girlfriend is about seven weeks now. It's nice to meet you all. 11 comments underneath everyone saying, congrats, welcome, hello, good to see you here. It's getting there. God, look at them.

[Willie C]

Dude, if people could rip over my chest right now. And look at my heart. My heart would be smiling. Agreed. It's like, God damn the community.

[Sherman Young]

Agreed. PT Sickos. Yet another ad break. And I know you're probably asking yourself, I thought we only got one of these per episode. Will we try to keep these tight? We try not to beat them over the head with it.

[Willie C]

Keep them tight, keep it right. But they're. They're not like, I thought we only got one of these. They're fired up.

[Sherman Young]

They are fired up.

[Willie C]

Before the dads is getting some more sponsorships. They're thinking, how does this podcast. Is this brand not have more partners yet?

[Sherman Young]

That's what they're thinking. I'm thinking, I don't want them to get to the point where we're beating them over the head because they are so stoked to see this growth. I think they're going to be really excited about this one because this is a personal one that we have been working on behind the scenes for the

[Willie C]

last what, four months? Five months.

[Sherman Young]

Five. That would be five months. Yes. For the last five months was when we initially pitched this PT6. We officially have our own PT6 official condoms. We got some rubbers for the SD Sixers out there for the ST Sixers and Goomb. We got some PT6 patented rubbers, Jimmy hats, you name it. And you heard right. After countless hours of shock wave research and practicing placing jimmy hats on bananas, we have finally cracked the code to form the perfect condom. Do you hear that, Will? Perfect condom.

[Willie C]

Sure did, Sherm. Are protective team sex latex anti small crying human little boy balloons are the surefire way to ensure your shockwave ride lasts 10 hours minimum.

[Sherman Young]

[Willie C]

10 hours. It could be a typo. We know when I'm reading.

Quick Chef I'll take a picture of this, send it to you and we can put it up on the screen. Screen the Whisperer Produce a magic hum that calms any meltdown in under 60 seconds. The human crane 100% success rate on the car to crib transfer so they're not waking up. Reflex Master Catching falling objects, including children, before they hit the floor every Time. Tactical loader pack the diaper back trunk for a weekend trip in five minutes flat.

[Willie C]

That reminds me of the photo old buddy dropped that for the dad's posted. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had just a clean setup in the. In the trunk.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, and that was not five minutes.

[Willie C]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Sherman Young]

That was 45 to an hour. Five.

[Willie C]

Yeah. Nice. Game of Tetris.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Nursery ninja navigate Legos and creaky boards in total silence. Or the iron nose identify a dirty diaper from two rooms away via vibes alone. So I will hold those up. Again, we have the Whisperer.

[Willie C]

To me, to me, this is a no brainer.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Willie C]

How about what, what does your mind think when you read those?

[Sherman Young]

Just because of recent fails. I like the tactical load loader.

[Willie C]

Okay.

[Sherman Young]

Just because of recent fails.

[Willie C]

But I am tactical loader is packed a diaper, pack the diaper bag and fill the trunk up for a weekend trip in five minutes.

[Sherman Young]

I am leaning towards reflex master, though. That was my initial gut. Was reflex master.

[Willie C]

See, I can tell this, this now.

[Sherman Young]

Now we're in different stages. I have whole.

[Willie C]

I have a whole different perspective. Yeah, we're in different stages right now.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Because mine is without a doubt the whisper spur.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Like without a doubt. Produce a magic home that calms a meltdown in under 60 seconds.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Like I look at that list and it's like, what is the thing that I deal. That we deal with the most that can happen more consistently? Like, yeah, reflexes, that'd be great. I feel like I got some good dad reflexes, but it's not 100.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

The tactical one. Yeah. That's we're traveling. Not every day, not all the time. The one I deal with, the one that we deal with every day with a three year old, soon to be four and a 16th month old, is the meltdown. Tantrums, both of them at the same time. One's getting more love than the other. You gotta. I just get that magic come. If I could become the Whisperer, that would be the super. That would be the superpower that I would choose as a dad at this stage in my life.

[Sherman Young]

Okay. So you're going whisperer.

[Willie C]

I'm going Whisperer.

[Sherman Young]

I think I'm going to go full board Reflex master.

[Willie C]

Reflex master. Which makes a lot of sense.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

It's like even the tactical ones, when you get kids to the point to where you're just kind of cor. You know, rallying everybody, getting them in the vehicle. I see where the tactical one comes in.

[Sherman Young]

We had a T. Like A couple passes hit the floor in the airport. That's gross, right? Like, you don't want.

[Willie C]

Happens.

[Sherman Young]

It happens, but you don't want to put it right back into their mouth if it's the airport. I'm sure. Hey, I'm sure. After baby number two probably. Probably started doing that, I had a coworker shout out, Sonia. But she. She told me, first baby. I mean, when anything happens hits the fan. Second baby, they'll get lost in the grocery store for five minutes. Hey, they'll pop up.

[Willie C]

Yeah, they'll pop up.

[Sherman Young]

They'll pop up.

[Willie C]

Third one, that's where Home Alone comes in.

[Sherman Young]

Third one is as you're going to the car with the, you know, the buggy. They come running out with the third one. They go, hey, did you leave something? Oh, there he is. Yeah, I thought he was in the car. That's why I'm going to.

[Willie C]

What are the other. Show me that list again.

[Sherman Young]

Reflex Master, the Human cr.

[Willie C]

The Iron Nose. In my opinion, if you're a young father in the stage that you are, I feel like you're wasting a superpower. You are using that one that.

[Sherman Young]

This. You do not need. Iron Nose. You don't need. Do you want to hear which one's one on the Reddit? And I could read back.

[Willie C]

Oh, yeah, they had a poll. They had a pool.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, they had a pool. Okay, 13 total votes. So zero votes for Iron Nose. Identify a dirty diaper from two rooms away via votes. Vibes. Zero votes for Nursery Ninja. Navigate Legos and creaky boards in total silence. Okay, tied. Two votes, Reflex Master. Catch falling objects. And two votes, Tactical Loader. Pack the diaper bag trunk for the weekend. In second place with three was the human crane. 100% success rate from car to crib. With six total voids was the Whisperer. Produce a magic album that calms a meltdown in under 60 seconds. That makes sense.

[Willie C]

I mean, that superpower alone, bro. Like, that's. That's peace and motion. Ocean.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, Jill and I haven't gotten to that point yet of, like, being out late enough to where Scarlett ate her solids at dinner and now she's asleep. And really, we could just segue that car ride sleep into bedtime and leave it at that. We haven't hit there.

[Willie C]

Right? But even if you use that superpower, they wake up and think about the power of the Whisper. They wake up.

[Sherman Young]

That's what I'm saying.

[Willie C]

You change them. You put them in bed.

[Sherman Young]

Bed.

[Willie C]

And you just leave the room and they're already crying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then like after a minute or two, like, all right, they're not putting themselves asleep right away because they woke themselves up from the transfer. You just walk in there, you hit

[Sherman Young]

them with some Wimba way. What's the name of that song? Or no, the one that you love

[Willie C]

from oh, Mighty Joe Young.

[Sherman Young]

Mighty Joe Young. The eyes are just slowly shut. The speed little one is now going.

[Willie C]

And you, you. It's over.

[Sherman Young]

They're out. They're out.

[Willie C]

So even if you have they wake up in between the car and get into the crib, you hit them with that, it's done.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Fun game.

[Sherman Young]

I read it this wonderful job singing, by the way and thank you, thank you, thank you, Derek, for being on top of me. That has what, six weeks?

Our first voicemail is titled My best Friend. Boys, it's time to crack a cold one. For those of you who are sitting in the trenches right now, my daughter just turned 14. Had her birthday yesterday. 14. I'm still waiting for the day where she hates her dad. Dad. She's my best friend. She's going out of town with her mom. It'll just be me and the 11 year old daughter. She's got a soccer game on Saturday. We got our lunch date planned. It'll just be her and I for the week. And my older daughter just told me she's going to miss me all week. Just know that when I was in the trenches with her, she slept through the night for the first time after her baby sister her when she was three. So if you're going through the trenches dealing with sleeping issues, any of those things right now, just know it will get Better. And someday she'll be your best buddy. She's a teenager. I love her to death. She's my best friend. Just keep at it. Be there, be present, love her.

[Willie C]

Cherish the first 11 because they'll hate you because they're not. You're going to lose them. Yeah. And it sounds like he figured it out. And just know, like you do it the right way the entire time, like you're going to have that bond that he seems to have with his daughter. 14 years old and also an 11 year old.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

I want to share donuts with dad.

[Sherman Young]

I know donuts have been a hot topic on the show here lately.

[Willie C]

Me and my son had donuts with

[Sherman Young]

dad at his school. Got there, the vibes were high. Had a great time. Me and my boy chopped it up. Room full of dads. This is K through five kids, right? One donut, one donut per person.

[Willie C]

I love you too. Jordan.

[Sherman Young]

Jordan, I got a message. Not for you, but for that school that you're paying a little bit of money to each month.

[Willie C]

It's Mississippi. Who knows how much money they're paying?

[Sherman Young]

True. If this is one of them private schools and he's getting one glazed donut, what are we talking about? Out. We need pink frosting with sprinkles minimum.

[Willie C]

I need. I need bear claws.

[Sherman Young]

[Willie C]

[Willie C]

Yeah. I think we just got an inside look at the. The economy in Mississippi. No, they're making the most of it. I'm glad that Jordan and his boys, they have service down there to watch our show every week.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, no. Oh, my God.

[Willie C]

Just start shitting on Mississippi.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, my God. Hey, Jordan, you ride a horse? Are you taking your kid to school on a horse? Horse? You even got a car, dude? What'd you call us on Python? That connector was horseshit, dude.

[Willie C]

Yeah, I'm sitting there, I'm like, intently listening, but he gave us love. Him and his boys, they listen on the reg. So I don't want to go too hard because if I'm going in with one. With one donut leaving. Do you enjoy your time? You hit the coffee on their hand? No, there's only. You only got us 12 donuts. There's 16 of us in here. Dad and donut Dane. We got a pack of 12 and

[Sherman Young]

I live in this state. You think I'm gonna be happy with one donut with all the I have to put up with? And it's glazed. And it's glazed. Hey, what happened? Did Ole Miss or Mississippi say do anything to you?

[Willie C]

Man, that right there, like, what did the school do? They just go to the gas station. Let me get a box of 12.

[Sherman Young]

Had to have. Had to have of.

[Willie C]

Is that is wild.

[Sherman Young]

At the state of Mississippi. That was wild about.

[Willie C]

Is it wild?

[Sherman Young]

No, I'm. It was a little April fools All the Mississippi. All April.

[Willie C]

Messing with them.

[Willie C]

Oh, Frank sounds down.

[Sherman Young]

We just started potty training. Our. Our son Will be three in a month now, and it is not going well. First 30 minutes, we're through three sets of underwear. He's freaking out. He ain't getting it. We don't know what to do. We're trying to explain it to him. It's just not working. Please. I need all the dad hacks on potty training. Thank you.

[Willie C]

So he's essentially saying nothing's working right now. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

I mean, it's in his voice, the poor guy. Like, he needs. Like he needs you right now. Will. I can't help him.

[Willie C]

He's got a little boy.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie C]

We don't got no experience with the little boy.

[Sherman Young]

I know, man, but you. I mean, Rue is a potty trained sicko. She was showing off to Uncle Sherm how she knows how to use the bath there. I mean, she's dialed, dude. You got her dialed.

[Willie C]

Yeah, but I was more of the support system. I was more the celebrating Charo was. Come on now.

[Sherman Young]

Charo is in the paint.

[Willie C]

Find every great man is a greater wife or good man or decent man. Average man. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Martha Washington. Yeah. George Washington's wifey.

[Willie C]

Yeah. Charo knew what to do. And again, I. I feel like everything I've heard that girls are just easier.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. I'm. Dude only. Only thing that I got. And they might not be old enough for this. This is jj. I think I've told this story on the pod. Jj, son of Jeremy, Shout out JJ and Jeremy. I've been catching some flack that I only. Shout out JJ and Brady and Brady and Lindsay.

[Willie C]

Yes.

[Sherman Young]

Shout out the clumps. When their son was here, he was doing a little bit of this, like, holding his hand right there and kind of, you know, the toes are going inward a little bit. But he's not saying anything. He's not saying anything. And dad is asking, asking. Jeremy's asking jj. Jj, jj, you gotta go. You gotta go. No, no, no. I said, jj, I'm about to piss my pants. I'm gonna race you to the bathroom because I'm gonna go to the bathroom first. No, you're not. And ran to the bathroom, went in there and peed.

[Willie C]

I was like, what did that act?

[Sherman Young]

I was like, dang it. Dang it, you beat me.

[Willie C]

That's honestly a great one right there. Because even when Rue, like, now. Now you have me thinking in terms of Rue, like, anytime we thought that. Okay. She hasn't gone in a way, while you just kind of. I'm telling Rue, hey, I gotta go potty right now. You're probably gonna follow me into the bathroom like you always do. Let's go together.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, let's go together.

[Willie C]

And in Rue's bathroom, let's go powder big Daniel Tiger fan. Daniel Tiger for when she gets her screen time.

[Sherman Young]

There's some game.

[Willie C]

There's game in Daniel Tiger.

[Sherman Young]

What's his.

[Willie C]

Do you have to go potty? Maybe yes, maybe no. Why don't we sit and try to go something like that? That. Yeah, but we had the poster of Daniel Tiger with the lyrics sitting in the bathroom, so that way it could always be on our mind. Hey, what's Daniel Tiger say? Maybe. Maybe yes, maybe no.

[Sherman Young]

Why don't.

[Willie C]

Why don't we sit and try to go?

[Sherman Young]

And try to go.

[Willie C]

Come on.

[Sherman Young]

That's Danny Boy. D boy Danny O. I always knew I'd like dt. That's Daniel Tiger.

[Willie C]

Yeah, yeah. And then when they're sitting in there, look at the poster.

[Sherman Young]

Dead dude. Gotta get.

[Willie C]

You don't have to go. It's all good. We're just. We're just taking a. We're just taking a to. We're taking a quick 30.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, let's go powder our nose. What's the hot goss? What's the 411? Oh, you need the potty now. Cool. Get after it.

[Willie C]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And also shout out all those posters, dude, save the drama for your llama. Yeah, hang in there with the little kitten. Nothing like a good elementary school post.

[Willie C]

And then if it gets too far, you gotta think. You might have to start thinking about waterboarding.

[Sherman Young]

I like where your head's at, and I'm trying to think of the best way because he said it. Was it a 3 year old? 2 year old?

[Willie C]

They're somewhere around there.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Still light enough you could hold them by their feet. But there's probably some ways to go about it.

[Willie C]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, you piss on the floor. You know what time it is? Here's what the floor feels like when you piss all over it. You just start waterboarding them. April Fools. Oh, God. I'm joking. I'm joking. For the love of God.

[Sherman Young]

I'm kidding. We rub my daughter's nose in it. April Fools. Yeah, yeah, April Fools.

[Willie C]

Kind of like a dog once you just rub their face in it. April Fools. We're just kidding.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, we might be pieces of, but we're not that big of a piece of. Emails. We got emails.

[Willie C]

Great. Yeah, I got. I got a couple.

[Sherman Young]

Okay. I only have one. I'll rip through mine because it's kind of lengthy. In a good way. This one comes From Colin Riley Colin says Hey boys. I just wanted to shout out my wife and share some thoughts on what I am doing. Trying to be a supportive partner, especially when things seem stacked against you. This message might be a little long, I apologize for that, but I want I just wanted to share a little bit about some things that are going on and how much this podcast helps me me keep things in perspective, little context. My wife Kristen and I live in Australia. Good. I might with our four year old son Bod. That's a sick name. I love Bod. She's from New Zealand, I'm from Indiana and we met at Ball State University. We moved to Australia at the start of 2020 and had our son during COVID Kristen plays professional soccer in the second division here in Australia and has recently played in the FIFA Women's Champions cup against Wuhan in China. The fucking irony there. She has been trying to break through to the first division and as she is turning 30 this year, she feels like time is against her. I wanted to just shout her out. She's doing a tough job. She's a great athlete and a better mom. It takes a special type of person to juggle everything she does. Parenting, sports and working full time. On top of that, I know how great she is and how well she handles everything. So the least I can do is make her life easier. Cooking me, Dishes me. Laundry me. Cleaning done. Daycare drop off. I do that. Birthday parties of course. Weekend sports. Bring it on. Kids wet the bed. Sorted. Kid wets the bed and throws up in the bed. No big deal. What? Colon Light work. Colon in my mind I'm trying to make as much of her plate as I take as much of off her plate as I can. The less she has to worry about, the better she can perform and the more time she can spend with her son. My thinking is that as a husband and father I need to be able to handle it all. One of the highlights of my week is being able to lock in at work and listen to the pod. It helps me realize that there are all sorts of parents in all different situations and we are all all just trying our best to keep it together. I appreciate the candor of the pod. Not afraid of the bad times, but embracing them, sharing them and celebrating the good times. Final Shout out for the wife she's doing an amazing job and since we live overseas away from both of our families, there's there's not many people who appreciate and get to see how wonderful and strong she really is. Colon Riley Shout out Kristen Riley Shout out.

[Willie C]

Kristen Riley sounds like a badass. Both of them sound like badasses. And we were just kind of like an interpreter for the being over here on the mainland.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, dude.

[Willie C]

You want to know how they're doing? You hear how they're doing?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Riley family sounds like they're crushing right now. Sounds like Kristen is a stud in the football side of things and Colin is holding it down at the football big time.

[Willie C]

PT6 standards high.

[Sherman Young]

Come on.

[Willie C]

I have one here from Anna Flynn. Hello dads. This is a future milk team sixer and wife of a devoted weekly listener. My husband Noah is turning 26, is turning 26 on April 6 and I would absolutely love to make his make his year with a birthday shout out on the pod. He's been listening every week for a long time now and always shares the highlights with me. You guys made us laugh so hard and even brought a few tears. We recently found out we're expecting our first baby, a little girl due in September 19th. September 19th. That's my birthday.

[Sherman Young]

Come on.

[Willie C]

And I actually surprised him with the news when he got home from work by buying a PT6T shirt. BWTB.com shameless plug.

[Sherman Young]

Come on.

[Willie C]

Something I had always joked I would do one day. Noah is the most kind hearted, hard working, humble and goofy person I know. He's such an amazing husband. I truly can't wait to watch him become the best dad to our daughter. If you could wish him a happy birthday, it would mean the World Best Anna. MT6 are in progress. Noah. Happy birthday, dude.

[Sherman Young]

Noah.

[Willie C]

Noah. Noah. Noah. Noah.

[Sherman Young]

Noah.

[Willie C]

Happy birthday, Noah.

[Sherman Young]

Happy birthday. No, Noah. There's a pretty picture of Noah in your cards.

[Willie C]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, sorry.

[Sherman Young]

Let's see that mug. What's he look like? Take two. Take two.

[Willie C]

Here's Noah and Anna showing their ultrasound. No. Can't get copyrighted Kodak poppin.

[Sherman Young]

They are a beautiful couple. They are wonderful.

[Willie C]

Seems like a stud. Anna seems like a stud weekly listener. She gets all the good stuff.

[Sherman Young]

What's he getting for his birthday? I know you got a pt6 shirt but I think is he getting anything at like golf clubs or maybe a couple fun coupons? Oh yeah, we could give him a fun coupon.

[Willie C]

So Noah, for your birthday for the dads is gifting you two fun coupons.

[Sherman Young]

Yep.

[Willie C]

One that says Shockwave.

[Sherman Young]

Yep.

[Willie C]

And one that says put a bow on it. Happy birthday.

[Sherman Young]

Happy birthday.

[Willie C]

Come on, man.

[Sherman Young]

You are welcome. Yeah, you're welcome.

[Willie C]

Let's start listening to. Let's. Let's let's get you becoming a weekly listener. Yeah. We got your back, too, Anna.

[Sherman Young]

Anna gets two coupons, too. To be determined. To be determined. I have a lesson of the week. And I have a quote.

[Willie C]

Dude, Give them both. Feed them. Feed them both to us.

[Sherman Young]

Do you want both? Quote of the week. I changed things up. I was doing some research on Dan Gable. I was like, every great hero has their doppelganger, their villain has who they're going against. I found Dan Gables, and you can correct me on this if I'm wrong. Why, Will? But it looked like Dan's rival was Ivan Kjargan, a Russian Soviet Union wrestler. Ivan, who went up against Dan Gable and really gave him the most trouble throughout Dan's career. Ivan had a great quote that I wanted to read out.

[Willie C]

Please.

[Sherman Young]

He said, I trained in the village every day like a pet hasn't. And I chopped enough firewood for three winners. That's Ivan Yargen. That's the type of sicko that's going to give a sicko like Dan Gable some trouble.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

I'm not just going to go out and chop firewood. I'm going to chop enough for three winners.

[Willie C]

Yeah. Then you got the story arc of Dan Gable, how he became everybody's hero.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, My hero, Ivan. I mean, Ivan truly sounded like Ivan Drago.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Was.

[Willie C]

That's kind of the villain you need.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. And I was like, was Stallone, like, kind of a Dan Gable sicko? Is that where the Rocky 4 plot came from? I don't know. Now, my lesson of the week is a recap from last week's lesson of the week for those that are here. No way.

[Willie C]

That's Dan Gable.

[Sherman Young]

What's he saying?

[Willie C]

Once you've wrestled everything in, life is easy.

[Sherman Young]

Can we get. I think we've said that one before.

[Willie C]

We probably have.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, we probably have.

[Willie C]

Nothing like a good reminder.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. It's so nice. We said it twice.

[Willie C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Chef, can we. And we're wrestling with our kids every day in post. Will, do you mind holding in post? Can we get a nice little zoom on Dan there?

[Willie C]

Yeah, yeah, we can do that. Just let people understand who we're talking about. Look at that. That's Dan Gable.

[Sherman Young]

Golly, he looks good, Will.

[Willie C]

He does, man.

[Sherman Young]

We. Okay, so last week, lesson of the week was owning something to take it off of your wife's plate. Don't just do chores when the chores need to be done. Own a part of the house. So that is off of wifey's checklist because a female brain works different from a male brain. They're always processing stuff. There's. It's a constant to do list by you. Owning the bathroom, per se is what I said I was going to own. That will take something off of her. Is the bathroom clean? Do we need toilet paper? Blah, blah, blah. She doesn't have to worry about it. Husband's got it. I have an update. I have a further pledge and I wrote a little something here. I may be getting ahead of myself, but I have a new domain that I'll be taking charge of in our new home that we're moving to. This is in addition to the bathrooms, the garage. And I know what the PT Sickos are thinking, Sherman. That's a given. PT Sickos are born in the garage, molded by it all. Great points. However, this will be not just any garage. It will have daily surveillance. It will have weekly vacuuming, weekly leaf blowing. But it will not only be the garage, it will be the stallions that inhabit the stables. My wife's car is included in the umbrella of the garage. Far too long has my wife sat there with her, her oil unchanged, her tires low. I will be taking full responsibility for those things as well.

[Willie C]

Get our piss hot. Please, please don't play.

[Sherman Young]

People have already heard non copyrighted rap three times in this.

[Willie C]

This episode.

[Sherman Young]

Let's not. For maybe a folk song. Hey, what. You know what we could do? We could cover that song. We could make our own little cover and then we could play it anytime we want on the podcast.

[Willie C]

Sure.

[Sherman Young]

That'd be fun. Like a little.

[Willie C]

That would be fun.

[Sherman Young]

Like a kid's bop version, but a pt6 bop.

[Willie C]

Let's get out of here, man. Great. So, yeah, great sod. Right?

[Sherman Young]

Right.

[Willie C]

Great. Terrific.

[Sherman Young]

Terrific sound. Is there a timeline for like, the car or like, you're. You're watching it and he said you're giving, like, sweeping and leaf blowing. I love that.

[Willie C]

He said weekly surveillance.

[Sherman Young]

Weekly surveillance, for sure.

[Willie C]

Mom's car. What are we looking at?

[Sherman Young]

That's. I just didn't know if you had a thought you wanted to finish with mom's car before we left. Oh, no, that was. That was it.

[Willie C]

Oh, that. That was as deep as the thought went.

[Sherman Young]

April Fools. It goes. April Fools. It goes super deep. April Fools. Here is the weekly breakdown I put on a spreadsheet. I didn't actually.

[Willie C]

But how does Mom's car get all the servicing that you're talking about?

[Sherman Young]

When I go to take my car to get service, I also do moms, which I have not been doing in the past. Drive both cars.

[Willie C]

Barren lies.

[Sherman Young]

And I could drive both cars. Yeah, big time.

[Willie C]

Because again, you've already said it. We operate different. Our species operate different. Differently. We can sit. Men can sit in the chaos and the clutter. Yeah. Women can.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

So you going to take your car back? Hey, every time I do it, I'm going to get your sweetheart. She'll be living in the clutter so much longer because she's waiting on you to go do yours. And then she's like, hey, when you doing your vehicle? Because I just got to figure out what mine's happening because you're not going to do it anytime soon. Like I can just go do it myself. Do you see the issue that could be.

[Sherman Young]

Be.

[Willie C]

Is this like a wait.

[Sherman Young]

You're saying, you're saying she's going to be frustrated because I go do. To do my car, and she's going to be like, when are you going to get my car?

[Willie C]

No, no. Do you understand what I'm saying?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, 100%. I. I think the biggest thing is that we want you to think through your pledge a little more. Not in a bad way. Yeah. But just because if you're taking your car to get serviced, that means her is. Is not going to get service at the same time if you have them together. Unless you're doing a hitch situation. Otherwise. Oh, that would be like a.

[Willie C]

Like his mom's getting service. What is it called? Bi weekly. Yeah. Every other week.

[Sherman Young]

Yes. Bi weekly is every other week.

[Willie C]

Like what? So say it's bi weekly to where you're checking on the maintenance. You go in.

[Sherman Young]

You know what?

[Willie C]

It's kept up pretty nice. Doesn't need a car wash. Tires are. Tires are in there this weekend. I don't need to do it. Let's just say it's happening once a month to where you.

[Sherman Young]

You're.

[Willie C]

You're in your pledge. It sounds like you'd be doing her car wash before you do yours.

[Sherman Young]

You know, Derek actually brings up a really good point. I'll look into it. I'll look into it.

[Willie C]

Okay, Good pledge.

[Sherman Young]

For first thing that comes to mind. Stagger the. Stagger the weekends.

[Willie C]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

She has her car maintenance weekend. I have mine. And if it's. It's every other, then it's bi weekly.

[Willie C]

You just got to figure out your plan.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Willie C]

Because right now, if you just say, whenever I do mine, I'm going to do hers.

[Sherman Young]

Like, I'll look into.

[Willie C]

Could feel kind of empty.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, for sure. I mean, I'll look into it. I'll look into it.

[Willie C]

Okay. That's all we can ask for.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. This is powerful. This feels good. God is sick, isn't it?

[Willie C]

Take your trash out. We love you. We appreciate you. PT Sickos out. It's tax season, and by now we're

[Sherman Young]

all a bit tired of numbers. But here's an important one you need to hear. $16 billion. That's how much money in refunds the
