Episode Overview

This episode centers on the theme of “embrace the chaos,” as Will and Sherm recount hectic weekends packed with parenting challenges, wins, new neighbor encounters, and cherished moments. They dive deep into their experiences as dads during moving weekend and a ballet recital, share community “dad hacks,” and field listener questions—all while keeping things candid, self-deprecating, and light-hearted. Along the way, they swap parenting “war stories,” field community submissions ranging from dad wins to dad losses (including bedwetting confessions), and offer practical and emotional advice for dads in the trenches.

• Listener participation is central; the show thrives on dad stories, mom/dad wins and losses, community advice, and even international call-ins (e.g., the Norwegian dad with a custom LED "Good" sign for nighttime diaper changes).

Summary

“Embrace the chaos” is more than just a motto; it’s the heart of this episode, as the boys toggle between crisis, comedy, and connection. Whether you’re dealing with a leaking HVAC, navigating recitals and toddler tears, or admitting to bedwetting as a grown man, this episode celebrates surviving—and even laughing through—the messiest (and most meaningful) moments of fatherhood. Their recurring advice? Don’t do it alone—engage with your community, prioritize your people, and crack a cold one for every small (or big) victory.

And I will gladly take that APR and I will bring it back to the podcast and I will say, Jilly Bean did not ask for a fancy dinner. That was Sherm's idea.

[Willie One Shelf]

Me off. It's the morning time. It's right now. It's Tuesday, May 19th. I was having some good vibes. And now you want to make me think about last night when the H Vacs dripping.

[Sherman]

But I want you to hear this because the comment section was the same. And I want you to know that I am on the side of the comment section that you're getting fud. You are getting fucked. This is not your fault. No one's coming to save you.

[Willie One Shelf]

No one's coming to Save.

[Sherman]

But you. This is not your fault.

[Willie One Shelf]

So the. The H Vac was dripping. It was leaking. Yeah. Charles was in. Charles in Scotty's room. She was doing Scotty last night. I was doing Rue. She's getting Scotty ready for bed, and all of a sudden, she's back in the little H vac room. Like, sweetheart, what's going on? Scott, Zilla is, like, running back there, and I'm like, what's going. She's like, do you see this? And just. The H Vac is just dripping in the water pan is like, halfway. Halfway full. It's filled up halfway. And I'm like, dude, what the Is going on? Yeah, obviously. Like, what was it a few weeks

[Sherman]

ago, A month ago, my AC went out.

[Willie One Shelf]

We had a situation where we need to, like, order a part. I think it was a compressor. I don't know what it is. Don't. Don't.

[Sherman]

Yes.

[Willie One Shelf]

Don't correct me. Yeah. Remember we were. We were out of.

[Sherman]

At the new house.

[Willie One Shelf]

We were out of air conditioning upstairs for, like, for a week because we had to. They had to order the part. We had to wait for the part to come in. Okay. It was supposed to be Monday, then it was Tuesday, then it was Wednesday. When it got fixed, fortunately, like, it wasn't. Like, it was hot. Like, it was, like, around 80 at the highest. But you know how it gets stuffy upstairs. Yeah, but this time when it's. When it's dripping and I'm, you know, your boy. I'm jumping on Google. Like, hey, H Vacs dripping right now. What's going on? What do I need to do? Yeah, and it's telling me that I need to shut it off immediately because it could be the air filters. It could be clogged. Some system could be failing. And it's like, son of a dude. We're not turning the H Vac off. Like, we just got the kids down because, Charlie, we were looking at it, and it was dripping. And then I just made the call. I'm like, let's put the kids down. We'll rendezvous after we get the kids down. Because no matter what, we got to get the kids to bed. Let's not sit here and solve the problem. They're awake. We're always going to want to start fixing it or help be helpful, which. He's the best. But, yeah, let's get the kids to bed. Then we'll. We'll. We'll figure out a game plan. So we get done with bedtime, and we're trying to figure out like, what we're gonna. She's like, should we just leave a drip? And I'm like, I mean, the way it's dripping, it seemed like this is. There's been an issue for, like, at least 24 hours, so we'll be able to make it through the night. We just got to figure out a way to get water out of it because it was, like, halfway. The pan was, like, halfway filled.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Charl heads the Lowe's, goes and gets one of them vacuums. It's like a dry, wet vacuum. Good, because I came downstairs, and as, like, I was putting rude down, I came downstairs. Charles wasn't in there. She might have been back in the closet or something. But I started researching, like, what can we do? And I've seen that you can get, like, one of these vacuums to start sucking the water out. And Charles already headed to the. To the coat rack. She's like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna head to Lowe's. I'm gonna go get this vacuum out. Like, oh, all right. Do you want me to go now?

[Sherman]

You.

[Willie One Shelf]

You can stay. All right. I mean, I am the man of the house, but if you want to,

[Sherman]

I guess there's some bathroom I can watch.

[Willie One Shelf]

I mean, you know what? I'll watch. I'll watch the monitors. I'll watch the kids. She goes and does that. She brings back this vacuum. We're upstairs, and she's doing the vacuum. I'm like, hey, do you want me to do it? She's like, oh, I kind of want to see how it works. I'm like, yeah, all right. Yeah, you got it. You do your thing. You got on her tool belt. No, no tool belt, but we. We end up emptying, like, 15 to 18 gallons of water. But that's making me feel like, okay, we're gonna easily make it through the night.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because this. A massive, like, water pan up under the. Up under the H vac system, and it seems like there's a pipe that's clogged. Oh, good, because that's.

[Sherman]

Just throw the. Just throw the whole damn house.

[Willie One Shelf]

Just scrap the house, man. But as he is laying out, he's

[Sherman]

laying out some more stuff.

[Willie One Shelf]

You know me, I don't know what a room in all duct tape, tape and shit's supposed to look like.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

So I'm reading it. I'm like did, did this, did the builder or whoever, did they get over on us with this half ass job?

[Sherman]

That blue tape walkthrough that you were telling me about where you go through and you mark stuff. If we had had H Vac Barclay on that.

[Willie One Shelf]

That's. That's on X, right? That one's on X. Yeah, yeah.

[Sherman]

That's, that's just. Apparently that's a dad hack for the future is get your buddy, come on H Vac tech or whatever he is your fix it guy and have him come with the blue tape walkthrough on Your final looks and all that and just have them pick it apart. I was about to say the culprit we might need to start looking to is whoever inspected your house before you guys moved in. You need. It's. People don't go hard enough on the inspection. You need to find the most nitpicky person.

[Willie One Shelf]

I don't even own a home.

[Sherman]

And I. I've been told this many times.

[Willie One Shelf]

What sucks is I feel like we had a great team.

[Sherman]

Y' all did.

[Willie One Shelf]

Y' all were on people we worked with.

[Sherman]

Y' all were on it.

[Willie One Shelf]

But now that we're having these issues, I'm just like. And I said in the video, I hate that. Oh, you know, it's new construction.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

This is con. This is common. This is uncommon. This happens. And I'm thinking, dog on that, man. It's 2026. Hey, there.

[Sherman]

There are people that make millions of dollars for picking apart LeBron James and Michael Jordan every day.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

On TV. And that. That system could be the perfect system. You. What the. Why you got the flex work going on? D. No W. What the heck?

[Willie One Shelf]

Somebody can tell me whatever they want to say. I'm like, oh, yeah, I hear you.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Imagine the. The like Stephen A. Smith of Inspecting World is just some bubba from, like, Portland, Tennessee. He gets flown out. No, no, no. The trust on here. A good new buddy. You got.

[Willie One Shelf]

Frozen coils.

[Sherman]

And that's what Chase Daniel, NFL quarterback, said. Frozen coils. A thousand percent. Got a company to come change the filters every quarter of the year, so. Worth it.

[Willie One Shelf]

I saw the quarterly maintenance, which it seems like that's what my wife is getting set up is like a quarterly maintenance thing. Somebody we know, too.

[Sherman]

There is a funny element of, like, even millionaire X NFL athletes have H VAC issues. That is a common thread. I find very funny not to laugh. Well, and you have a whole different type of H VAC issue in that. The. You have multiple tubes. You got multiple probably H VAC systems for your house. There is a lot that can go wrong with your H Vac unit. So we are all new to this game. This is why we lean on PT Fix. We lean on.

[Willie One Shelf]

And you just lean on that. The. The builders, the people putting that stuff together. Like, we all know what the goal is.

[Sherman]

Hey, I know.

[Willie One Shelf]

Build a house that can't break if

[Sherman]

the kids ain't sleeping. Nothing else is going right. You said it earlier in the story. Our first move in Day Scarlett. We might as well have taken her to a wet cave filled with torture devices inside of it she was like, where the hell am I? And y' all been around Scarlett. She is so happy. Go lucky.

[Willie One Shelf]

Just give her a ball.

[Sherman]

She's looking around this house and we set her in her nursery where it's like enough is recognizable to her. Like, crib. Some. Some of the same photos on the wall, her changing table.

[Willie One Shelf]

Smart.

[Sherman]

But the walls aren't pink. They don't have her ribbons. Where are her books? And she truly looks around, just sort of.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. Because it's a new. It's a. It's a new space.

[Sherman]

She was mortified and she slept. This is not a. Oh, Sherman is just, you know, embellishing for the story. She slept two hours the first night in the house. Good. Did we have to move the next day as well? Of course we did.

[Willie One Shelf]

Good, man. Good.

[Sherman]

And if the kids.

[Willie One Shelf]

Great start.

[Sherman]

Yeah. If the kids ain't sleeping, nothing is going right.

[Willie One Shelf]

I don't think anybody would assume that you're embellishing if you're. Was she nine months, ten?

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Ten month old.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Only got two hours of sleep. Because they're in a. They're in a different spot.

[Sherman]

Oh, get. Yeah. You want a dad hat? Get ready for that one.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

You're moving with the little one.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

It's not expected.

[Willie One Shelf]

Just in general, too. Just dad game, dad hack, whatever. Even when you're just doing like a little staycation or you're gone away for a weekend or you're just somewhere new, it's like bring, bring whatever stuffies. Bring as much as you can to make it feel like it's over. Obviously, it'll be in a pack and play or a crib. Let's say you're at a hot. But if you're in a hotel, you're kind of in the same room but somewhere where you're hopeful as parents that, oh, hey, like for us, it's like, hey, we can have Scotty sleep in here.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

And then you're kind of just hopeful that the new environment isn't going to freak her out at night time to where they're just like scared or nervous or whatever's going through their. Going through the little brains.

[Sherman]

And you're totally right. Once we got her play, she has upgraded from a play pin to a playroom. She now has her own playroom. And once the playroom was set up, the next day with all the baby gates and stuff, we're back.

[Willie One Shelf]

And all the familiar toys and books were so back.

[Sherman]

She's hitting all of her favorite toys and getting the music going. And she's doing the new. This is her new shake dance. And she's. She's back in. We're good.

[Willie One Shelf]

Scarlet's back.

[Sherman]

Scarlet's back. I. I digress because I totally cut you off from your ballet story.

[Willie One Shelf]

I told the H Vac story.

[Sherman]

I know. I had to talk.

[Willie One Shelf]

I'm gonna get into the ballet story no matter what. Okay, good. So do you want to finish the moving, moving weekend?

[Sherman]

No, I want to hear about.

[Willie One Shelf]

Take a break. We want to go to ballet.

[Sherman]

Want to go to ballet.

[Willie One Shelf]

Okay. Saturday morning, ballet recital day. Apparently, in the ballet world, you know, Rue is four years old. So I'm like, getting game from Charles, Dad. Like, hey, you were in this life. Like, is this like, if they get older and they love ballet, is this like, with us in baseball or any sport in the spring and summertime? Is this like an every weekend occurrence where I'm going to have to go to recitals every weekend? He's like, oh, no, no, no, it's you. Especially when they're young, it'll be about once a year, maybe twice. Like, when Charles started to get in competitive dance or competitive ballet, at most they would do about this was. This was my father in law's word. So if my. My wife is listening right now, who knows, maybe she did more. But he said, you're at most going to hit about three a year. I'm like, okay, that ain't bad.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because I remember as a high schooler, you know, if your boy, he's got a girlfriend, it felt like he was going to recitals all the time.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Maybe it's different. Who knows? Maybe there's a different world where there's

[Sherman]

seasons and those are like the bowl game. If I understand this correctly, I would say that those are the bowl games and ballet practice where they're learning all their stuff for the recitals. That's the regular season.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. So I'm starting to get the lay of the land because I want to, you know, I got to embrace the ballet. Fatherhood. Yeah. You know, I mean, whether. Whether I want to be in it or not. I love watching Rue get in her ballet dress and just be so happy to. Where it's like, oh, I'm buying into what my daughter loves and enjoys. Did I imagine that I'd be a ballet dad before I was a father? Absolutely not. Like, I can't wait till she's old enough to hopefully play flag football. Come on. But right now, I'm a ballet dad. So it was Saturday morning. Charles got to take Rue to go drop her off. Because this is Rue's first ballet recital without dancing with. With Mom. Last year, three years old, when she did the recital, they go out with mom, so mom is out there with her while they're doing it. So it's Rue's first recital on stage, you know, in front of people. And based on a couple weeks ago when she was a flower girl at the wedding, and she cried. She ended up being brave and having the courage to walk down the aisle, but she was crying and kind of got, like, maybe a little bit of stage fright.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

So I'm like, man, I hope. I hope her is locked in. I hope she's ready to go. I hope she has the most fun. So it's just me and Scotty. I'm getting Scotty ready. We're having fun together. We're playing. I'm making her breakfast. We're doing all this stuff because we got to go at. At like 10 or 10:30, head over to ballet. Because I'm thinking in my head, okay, it's just me and Scotty. I don't want to hit up my wife all the time to let her know, like, where I need to be, what time this, that, the other. She gave me all the parking instruction instructions for the parking garage.

[Sherman]

What's pregame recital meal look like?

[Willie One Shelf]

It was Saturday. Rue is looking at yogurt and strawberries. Keep it simple.

[Sherman]

Keep it.

[Willie One Shelf]

Keep it light, Keep it light. Get enough protein. You get your fruit in there. Yeah, but yogurt and strawberries.

[Sherman]

Okay, good, good, good.

[Willie One Shelf]

And, dude, she was fired up. I mean, she looked gorgeous, bro. Oh, she. Mom put on a little makeup on her for the first time, so she. So she get the experience. I mean, ballet bun was titan, right?

[Sherman]

Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because mom was a competitive dancer growing up, so mom has just always been on when it comes to ballet. Yeah, she's D in. But Rue looks phenomenal, dude. She's excited, ready to go. They leave. Scotty and I have fun, and we leave around 10 or 10:30 to start going there. Because I'm thinking, okay, I remember last year was pretty packed. It's going to be packed this year. I need to go. I need to go early. Like, I need. Just need to buy in and figure out. I need to find my way as a father, as a ballet guy. Good.

[Sherman]

Will, let's go.

[Willie One Shelf]

Let's get Scotty out of the house early. We'll go and get in line so we can have a seat.

[Sherman]

Early bird, dude.

[Willie One Shelf]

Early bird. Turns out I didn't have to do that because Charles, when she drops through off, I'm thinking Charles in the backstage, like, working with her, like, doing all this stuff up until ballet recital time. But Charles just dropping her off ruse by herself. Mom is just reading. She's just at the spot, getting some mom time in, which was great. I just didn't know because I'm thinking, I need to get Hurley. I need to get in line. Like, I need to show that. Like, hey, I'm on top of it. You don't have to hit me up. Hey, when are you going to get here? Are you here yet?

[Sherman]

Yes.

[Willie One Shelf]

She was already there and in line.

[Sherman]

And best part about you getting there early is even though you didn't have to, bonus points. We're here.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, we're here. And again, for new ballet fathers, like, I'm just. I'm learning this game on the run. I get there. Get there with Scotty. We were. We were on the phone with each other. And then I'm like, hey, I gotta go. That was the valley title. That was that morning.

[Sherman]

Oh, yeah. Okay.

[Willie One Shelf]

So I rip in there with Scotty. I got the backpack on, like, all of Scotty's, like, snacks, Everything that we need to be successful at this recital. Yeah. And dude, I turned the corner. Here's a dad hack that. You know, I turn the corner. Once we get inside the theater, there's a flower shop station set up. And I'm like, son of a. I forgot to get flowers. Because you always want to get your daughter.

[Sherman]

Yes, you do.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. You always want to get her flowers for recital day.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

So then it clicks. I'm like, thank God there's a flower shop here, because I forgot.

[Sherman]

Yes.

[Willie One Shelf]

So I walk over to the stand and I'm like, hey, are these for sale? They're like, oh, no. You had to pre order them. Oh, pre order. Dad's dad hack. Pre order the flowers. If you don't pick them up on the way, pre order the flowers. They're all. They're all. They. They will already be there and ready to go.

[Sherman]

You know what my dad would have done right then and there? Gone. Oh, I really want to order some flowers. Maybe some pink ones. Oh, look, they're there. Pre ordered them and they would have got it. Okay, get out.

[Willie One Shelf]

My man was like. I was like, oh, damn. So I needed to order them ahead of time. He's like, yeah. I was like, are there any stragglers in here? To where? I. I was like, I honestly, I just need a couple.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

He's like, buddy, just stand right Here, next to the table. Once I get done with the people who pre ordered, he's like, they'll. There'll be extras for sure. And I'm like, oh, let's go. Hey, Lola no become my in laws. We get set up again. Char was in line because I'm telling Lola. Nope. I'm like, hey, go get in line so that way we can go in and get some good seats and everything else. I call my wife. Thinking again. She's backstage. My case, sweetheart, we're here. Yada, yada. She's like, okay, I'm already at the front of the line on the. On the left side of my. Oh, great. We go in, get situated in the middle. Perfect seats, maybe six or seven rows back in the middle. Got the stage right in front of us. Come on, we are prime time. Charles got enough tickets to where we have an extra seat for Scotty because, you know, Zilla, I don't know if you follow my story. She's. She's banging, she's standing up, hitting the dancing. She's all ready to go. She's come on all the snacks. She's having a great time.

[Sherman]

She been ready since 6:30.

[Willie One Shelf]

She's been ready since 6:30. Rue comes, comes out. She crushes it. We're having so much fun, dad. I'm out there recording her smile.

[Sherman]

Yes.

[Willie One Shelf]

I'm trying to do the dad wave. Like when I feel like she's looking out in the stands.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

And dude, it was incredible. But we get to the moment where Scotzilla takes a little tumble.

[Sherman]

Oh, Boom. Oh.

[Willie One Shelf]

Hits her head.

[Sherman]

Gets a lump.

[Willie One Shelf]

Hits her head on my armrest. Oh, good, good. So in this moment, dad, lost.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

She starts to cry and then do that hyperventilating to where it's a build up cry. She can't breathe. That's where you know it's gonna be so loud. Rue's session already got done. They're like a couple minutes each for each crew, for each group. But it's in the middle of a performance. She slips.

[Sherman]

Bam.

[Willie One Shelf]

She starts having that. That build up, that cry.

[Sherman]

Oh.

[Willie One Shelf]

And I'm looking at my wife because, like, you know, Charles, like, holding her, and I'm like, He did such a good. As her face continues to get red. And then it just drops. The scream. And then she starts, like, you know, picking it up. And Charles, like, Charles looks at me and she goes, you got to take her. You got to go. You got to go. I'm like, all right, all right. And I just take her I'm talking six points of contact all around the body. I'm in the middle of the road.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Again, we're in the middle. Another dad hack maybe. Like if I could go back get aisle, I would try and talk my wife into having the aisle. Sweetheart, you go in the middle. Or whoever wants to be with the camera and go in the middle. You go in the middle. We'll see it with her. 18 month old, like on the side, just in case something happens.

[Sherman]

That's maybe our best dad hack yet today.

[Willie One Shelf]

And you know, like when you're in the seat, whether it's at a movie theater or anywhere tight with bleachers like this, the moving situation is like you like tuck your knees in or you try and stand up, but not too tall because you don't want to block the person behind you. We're in that type of tight, those tight corners. So I got Scotty and I'm just mowing down the line, bro.

[Sherman]

And just shaking and nodding your head to everyone.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, yeah. I'm literally just going like this. I'm going. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. The entire aisle, all the way down. Just loud enough whisper so everybody can hear. And I'm not stopping either. It's not like I'm waiting for people to get situated.

[Sherman]

Move.

[Willie One Shelf]

I'm like stepping on some feet because I'm like, like I've got to get Scotty out of here.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

She's blaring, crying in the middle of a. Of a performance.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like the family in front of us, their kid was probably up there performing while they're trying to record. I'm just thinking, oh, bro. Because, you know, it's dark, it's quiet, it's everything. It's like the worst, most panic situation. Oh, who you know.

[Sherman]

Oh, who is that? Oh, Will Compton. Go figure. Oh, who's screaming during my little Sarah's performance? Oh, it's that will see my big

[Willie One Shelf]

body stand up in the shadows. I'm so sorry.

[Sherman]

I'm so sorry.

[Willie One Shelf]

We get out of there. I get sc. Scotty calmed down. It was all good. Because again, as you're going, you see other little ones there because it's all. It's a family vibe.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

So I'm. I'm sure the parents were like, understanding. Like, as I'm going through, they're like, oh, dude, it's okay. Afterwards, a couple. A couple of the guys I know, I was like, hey, that crying baby in there that was Scotzilla. He's like, oh, I saw you. He's like, you got out of there quick, though. I was like, bro, I had to move, man.

[Sherman]

People coming down those long aisles, like in the theater. I could just see you bobbing and we. Once you're like, in the aisle just rushing past.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, I feel my. Feel my tush, like, hits like, graze somebody in the head that's sitting in the road in front. Like, just like, as I'm going, he's. I'm like, Jerome Bettis toting the rock. Derrick Henry getting through the A gap.

[Sherman]

They just fully get cheek to cheek of you just flying past him.

[Willie One Shelf]

Get her out of there. Scotty was all good. She had a little lump on her head. Then we got to see Rue and everybody. I was taking photos, man. It was, it was a lot of fun.

[Sherman]

She loved the flowers, bro.

[Willie One Shelf]

She loved them. And here's the other thing. Thing. So again, ballet dad rookie. I'm trying to, like, learn on my feet because again, I don't want to hit up my wife. I don't want to tell her, like, oh, I forgot flowers. I'm thinking, I'm figuring out a solve at the little flower station and everything else. Don't want her to see me because I'm just trying to. I'm trying to figure it out. So that way I'm not asking her a bunch of questions or. Yeah, I didn't do this. I didn't do that. Charlie had already pre ordered flowers,

[Sherman]

so

[Willie One Shelf]

Char already had some in her bag. And I just go, well, I wanted it. I want, I want dad to give her some too.

[Sherman]

Too.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, yeah, I want. I want her to get some flowers.

[Sherman]

Well, and I'm sure that she loved that dad brought flowers.

[Willie One Shelf]

Rue.

[Sherman]

Well, Charo as well. Like, she was on it. She pre ordered, but then Dad's rolling up with flowers.

[Willie One Shelf]

Well, I was telling her. She's like, oh, you didn't have to go. I like, I. I'd already ordered. Pre ordered flowers. Like, ah,

[Sherman]

dang it.

[Willie One Shelf]

Come to find out, TRO had everything set up. All I needed to do was just show up and then be like, hey, where you at? In line?

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

But again, my brain, she's back there coaching Rue. I gotta figure this out on my own. I don't want to be a nuisance hitting up my wife like, hey, Dad's got this. I'm gonna learn how to be a ballet dad.

[Sherman]

Yes.

[Willie One Shelf]

Get there early, get flowers.

[Sherman]

Ballet dad.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, but she had the tickets. She had the spot in Line. She had the flower, she had the whole ordeal. Like, we just needed to show up.

[Sherman]

It sounds like you crushed it from like my view of it as far as crushing it dad wise. My dad was putting on a clinic this weekend. He came in town for moving to

[Willie One Shelf]

help with the moving. I'm sure that was a massive, massive, massive.

[Sherman]

I want to start out this story by saying that my mom and dad and Jill's mom, she's still in town. She got in on Saturday. My parents got in on Thursday. They have since gone back to Fort. Fort Worth and Midland. Shout out to my mom and dad, I love you guys. And y' all were a God, godsend. And dad, I don't. I hope you don't mind if I pick on you a little bit. My dad was on one this weekend. As far as dad vibes go, he

[Willie One Shelf]

should have just came in with the Batman suit.

[Sherman]

He should have come in with the Batman suit. But he was. Dude, it wasn't even just Batman word. Oh, who's the Guardians of the Galaxy guy? My dad was Star Lord dude. He had the jokes too. He had the dance moves. Jilly Bean, growing up in single parent home, she didn't get a whole lot of dad jokes when she was growing up. So now that she's getting them, now she thinks they're funny. She loves the dad jokes. And my dad's seeing, oh my God,

[Willie One Shelf]

I'm getting some laughs.

[Sherman]

These are hitting. Whoa, wait, hold on a second. I got an audience and the performance went to a 10.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

To the point where we're in Costco shopping. We have been moving all day. Everybody's faces is this. We are zapped. We're ready to go home. Except for Papa Sherm. 12 year old girl is walking through the aisles all by herself, like on her cell phone. And she is full teenager pissed off. I don't want to talk to anybody. She's got braces, is. She's wearing her basketball stuff from her game earlier today and she's just tweeting on her phone. And my dad sees her and he looks over at me and gives me like a half smile. I'm like, what are you about to do? Goes up. This 12 year old girl's walking this way. He takes two steps forward and he goes, oh, oh. And starts acting like he's dribbling between his legs and then goes and does a little fadeaway shot. And Jill laughed and the 12 year old girl could not have looked more pissed off. She was like, she might as well just looked at us like, what the, like, she literally looks.

[Willie One Shelf]

You just take the car.

[Sherman]

She really was like, I don't know him, I don't know him, I don't know him. And she looks at us like, okay, what? And walks off. And my dad telling that story later that the girl in the basketball jersey loved it. She was laughing just as hard as, as Jill.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh no, she loved it. He loved it.

[Sherman]

What are you talking about? I would go, she was guarding me. She was guarding me.

[Willie One Shelf]

We're like, oh, dad, she did not like what you were doing.

[Sherman]

Watching Papa Sherm operate like that when he's, when he's getting almost like cocky D mode of like it's all going right. It is truly some of the best dad stuff.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

You will ever win.

[Willie One Shelf]

You get in flow state and feel like he can't lose.

[Sherman]

You can't lose. Cannot lose. And he was crushing it to like, to the point he was doing such a phenomenal job that he couldn't lose. And then just dropping all these jokes at dinner that my mom and I are quite literally eye rolling to each other because it's maybe the 20th time or 30th time.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, you've heard the stories.

[Sherman]

Jill's belly laughing, which is beautiful. And we aren't cutting in. We aren't cutting in and saying, dad, stop, dad, stop. We're just letting it happen. Jill's dying laughing.

[Willie One Shelf]

We're at, he's running an open mic.

[Sherman]

Open mic. We're, we're at Ashley Furniture. He look, he looks at the guy that's helping us that just walked up and he goes, now, Andrew, before you help us, I just want you to know I've been in the furniture business for about 30 years. I manage around 20 stores in Texas. So whatever your about to go into, I've already heard it. I'm literally off to the side going, andrew, do not listen to Andrew. Andrew, don't listen to him. Don't listen to him. And finally my dad's like bad cop

[Willie One Shelf]

right there by you and your old man. You guys, you don't know. You guys are tag teaming. You guys are tag teaming. You guys are kind of cooking.

[Sherman]

We are kind of cooking. I'm like, andrew, like, stop. Just don't like, look at me, look at me. My dad finally gets you a smile. You. Yeah, Dude. But Andrew did kind of love it. He kind of loved it. Yeah, but it was phenomenal.

[Willie One Shelf]

What happened with you getting pulled over.

[Sherman]

I have five missed calls from my wife.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

If we do keep that in there, I, it took about one second for me to hear it in her voice, I'm like, she doesn't sound frantic at all. Why'd she call me five times? Butt dial, but dialed the other four times.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, so getting pulled over. Oh dude, you got pulled over by the cops, dude.

[Sherman]

Just a really like quick summarization of the moving weekend. We hired movers for the very first day. That's all of our big ticket items. Took two trips but we got it all done by midnight. First night. Scarlet then only sleeps two hours that night. Two hours. I got woken up at 3am by Jill. Can you go rock Scarlet? I'm up there rocking with her. She probably doesn't fall asleep till around 4:45 5 on my chest. I then wake up at 6:30 to her hitting me in the face. Ready to go to start the day good. Get all that moving taken care of. Which we don't have movers the second day. So now we are really in the. And we're moving a lot of stuff. We're trash dumping. We're moving some medium sized chairs upstairs and stuff. Enough to where it's like I'm exhausted. I'm running on probably four hours of sleep. Scarlet's been poor thing. Oh that was the other thing. She had a fever from teething which that was a whole thing. So like during the day we have to have somebody constantly on Scarlet. It has been a day. And my dad who has been killing it all weekend says, hey guys, how about dinner on Puppucheur? How about we get some blue sushi? I'm just sitting here looking at this man. I'm going, how do you do it? How do you do it? Like you really are dialed like that. There's nothing in this world that would make me more happy than not having to pay for dinner and just feast. And he gets enough food for an army. There's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of us with Jill's mom there as well. Get all this food. I'm driving to blue. I got the best playlist of all time going. Kind of like your ten piece band. Like 1950s, 1960s like Buddy Holly type stuff going. Like I am floating at this point. We're done moving. We did it. Red, Red and blues. Red and blues. My dude and Bro, PT Fix and PT6. Community is about to be pissed.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, tail light out.

[Sherman]

Not tail light. Maybe worse. Maybe worse. They're about to grill me in the comments. Get pulled over. Guy pulls me over for an expired tag in Texas. No, in the Texas State. Yes. And this is state trooper in Tennessee. So I don't know if he can write me a ticket for expired tags in Texas if he is a Tennessee state trooper. But he knows the exact question that he wants to ask me. And this is not me like sitting here on this pod trying to brag about myself. I cannot lie in situations like that. I just can't. He says, Texas, what's got you here in Tennessee? And I go, well actually live here in Tennessee. He goes, really? Did you just move here in the last 30 days? Go, no sir. Last like 700 days. I've been here for two years. He goes, and you haven't gotten your car registration or your id? Switch over to Tennessee. Go ahead and get proof of insurance for me, sir. I'm like, oh, comes back with 600 worth of fix it tickets so I don't have to pay any of it. But I now have a one month window where I have to knock out my car registration and my new Tennessee id and I was being lazy. Dude. It's. It's busy work. I don't. I don't want to do it. Nobody does. And we got, we got some plates here at the office. There's still Georgia, Pennsylvania.

[Willie One Shelf]

Why you gotta out the boys right now?

[Sherman]

Cut that. No, hey, actually cut that. I'll be obvious place like BD7 3409 outside.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. Hey, why didn't you just hit him with. Yeah, we've been moving in this weekend.

[Sherman]

I know. Do you kind of. I can't. I literally cannot.

[Willie One Shelf]

But you're telling the truth in that scenario.

[Sherman]

I'll back up Sherm here. Every time I've been pulled over and I tell the officer like the, the like hey, do you know how fast you're going? No, I know that I was going over the limit. I was speeding, reckless. I always get out of it. Every time you go, I know. I. I screwed up here. Cops love it.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

You're telling the truth. I'm even saying like in terms I could telling the truth.

[Sherman]

Ye just. We just got done moving. I'm picking up food for the whole family.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Just my parents are in from Texas to help us move. Yeah, I could. I could have done that. That did not dawn on but it sounds like Sher you're not. You didn't get penalized. You just have to change your registration and idea. Right. So that's something you were going to have to do anyway.

[Willie One Shelf]

You just switch over. Yeah.

[Sherman]

You just switch over. I mean it's not the end of the world but when. When I'm going to go get that Food stuff. And then Jill, like, never gets on my Twitter. So I was like, I'll tweet about this because it'll probably get some likes. Like, it'll probably like. This is kind of funny.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

And of course it gets a couple likes. And Jill never checks Twitter, like, honestly, ever. And last night, I'm putting up the. Oh, that's a whole other thing. I gotta put up all this animal netting on my fence because my dogs can squeeze through the bars.

[Willie One Shelf]

Good, good.

[Sherman]

And I'm doing that, and Jill comes out of the house and she goes, by the way, you got a ticket the other night. And I was like, what? Who told you that? And she was like, hey, hey, bro, I'd rather him lie to the cops.

[Willie One Shelf]

I can't lie. You can't lie to the copy.

[Sherman]

You could lie to your wife. I go, what? Who told you that? Twitter, bro. I get so scared with the cops, dude. And not your wife.

[Willie One Shelf]

Who told you how. Where.

[Sherman]

You see that? It's a different fear with the cops, dude. It's like that. It's that, like. Shaky voice. Yes.

[Willie One Shelf]

Did you move in within the last 30 days? Oh, who told you that? No, stop in here, dude.

[Sherman]

Why? Why can't I. You gotta start treating the cops like your wife. Who the told you that? Where'd you get that one? Officer. Last 30 days, huh?

[Willie One Shelf]

Hey, who told you that? Oh, it's just a simple question.

[Sherman]

Oh, okay. You look really pretty today.

[Willie One Shelf]

Well, yeah.

[Sherman]

Hate to be that guy, but I just want to let you know I happen to listen to this podcast called Busting with the Boys. You seem pretty familiar to me. Been here for, I don't know, maybe two years.

[Willie One Shelf]

Who told you that? You gotta think of the other day. Oh, who said that?

[Sherman]

And I'm telling you, dude.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Sherman]

But I am the kid. I know where it comes. That. Where that fear comes from. Dude, I. I always got caught when I was in high school. Toilet paper in, Ding Dong ditching. Yeah, all that stuff. I always got caught whenever I tried to lie my way out of it. Yeah, always. And now I just have this, like, I revert back to you like 15 year old Sherman. Yes, sir. No, sir. Shaky voice with cops. I don't know.

[Willie One Shelf]

I don't know how the conversation ended up going with. With wifey.

[Sherman]

Oh, she was fine because I told her they were fix it tickets.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, go. Where'd you hear that? And she said, oh, I saw.

[Sherman]

Yeah, I saw it on your Twitter.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh.

[Sherman]

Oh.

[Willie One Shelf]

Hope she didn't see the other three tweets. You know, I was exaggerating, you know.

[Sherman]

Oh, she didn't see the Mother's Day tweets. I was put. Which I'm sure she did. I'm sure she did. Oh. But moving went. Moving went great. And, oh, I have one more moving story. My neighbor. I told you a little bit about him on the phone. He rips guys. And I'm trying to play it really, really cool because, like, he rips that hard. He's a dude. I'm putting this humongous TV that we got for free from a friend up on a wall. Mount is. It's a. A. A big enough mount where me doing it on my solo is a bit of a task. And this is a 2019 flat screen, so they're not the light ones, skinny ones that you see today. It still has a little bit of girth to it, and I need Jill's help lifting it. And Jill's mom being so sweet and not wanting to be the mother in law. That's like coaching you over your shoulder. She's like this quiet going, hey, do you think you should ask your neighbor to come? Blah, blah, blah. Do you think. Hey, Sherman, Jill looks like she's struggling. Do you think he's. We'll get it. We're gonna get it. We got it.

[Willie One Shelf]

We don't need any help.

[Sherman]

We don't need any help. We're good. I didn't say it like that, but I'm lifting the tv and then Jill starts going, oh, I don't think I got anything. Go put on the ground. Put on the ground. Lisa, sit down. Sit down.

[Willie One Shelf]

Slowly, slowly, slowly.

[Sherman]

Watch your face. Fingers. Yeah, watch your fingers. You go first. You go first, and then I'll go. Lisa goes, I'll. I'll go get Blake next door. I go, no, no, I'll. I'll go get Blake. Go into the backyard.

[Willie One Shelf]

Hey, man, I hate asking you, can you help me move a tv?

[Sherman]

And of course, he's dad killing it. He's got the remote controlled electric car where he's controlling his 2 year old that thinks he's driving. He's just in the alleyway doing this sunglasses, sleeveless shirt, hat on backwards, killing it. And I'm like, oh, man, I'm about to wreck this whole situation. He couldn't have been more nice. I have a picture that I'll send a chef of him coming in. PT Fix is about to slay me again. Blake looks at the mount on the wall. It takes him about five seconds, and he goes, does that mount upside down?

[Willie One Shelf]

Hey, it happens to the best of us, bro.

[Sherman]

Because does that matter? Is that upside down? Yeah, I guess that is upside down. That does look upside down, doesn't it? Jill is literally like 30ft away, just arms crossed like, you've got to be kidding me. Because the entire time we were struggling to put it on and it wouldn't click. And poor Jill. I mean, she truly is like all but five foot. And she's just sitting there, shaky arms like that. And I'm like, it's not clicking. Why is it not clicking? Took Blake five seconds. Yeah, I think the mount's upside down. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Should have let my wife put that. Put that mount up there. Ain't that right? Sweet.

[Sherman]

Jill, what the hell you doing? The arrows go up. Arrows.

[Willie One Shelf]

This was a man's job. But.

[Sherman]

And truthfully, I'm covering for her mom. It was actually my mother in law that was doing it. She's gonna take the blame though. Like, just go with it. I'm paying Blake in beer. I'm going by. I asked him, I asked him if he drank any beer. He said yes. I said, we got some ice cold bud lights at the office. I'll bring you some bud lights. Thank you for all your service.

[Willie One Shelf]

That's how. That's how the dad community does it. You can pay him in beer.

[Sherman]

Pay him in beer.

[Willie One Shelf]

I have a crack of cold one, please. Brought to us by Olipop.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Always brought to us by Ollie Pop. Dude. I have a heartwarming cracker cold one. It's kind of sad, like, when you're seeing it in real time, but also warms your heart. My cracker Cole one goes to Scotty is 18 months old. Ruse four. They're awesome together. They're playing together more. It's got no point to where I'm at home. And if I'm getting dinner ready, I'll be like, hey, Scotty, do you want to go play with a ruin? I'll be like, guy, kids go play. Blah, blah, blah. And they'll just go run around. They'll be doing like their own thing together. It's the most adorable thing in the world. But the other day, it happened twice on Saturday. But Scotty takes like a fall or something to where she starts crying. And Scotty now reaches for Rue. Like, Scotty will get up and have both of her arms out like she wants a hug from Rue. No. Yeah, bro. Bro. And I have videos of it. And it's the sweetest looking thing in the world. They'll just stand. They're both just standing And Scotty's just hugging Rue, and Rue's hugging Scotty, and Scotty's just holding, like, hugging room while she's crying. She's still crying, just hugging Rue, putting her head on her chest. And Rue's holding her and she's got like, you know, she's tall enough to wear like chins over her head. And she's just like slowly rubbing her back and soothing her, saying, it's okay, Scotty. It's okay. Well, yes, bro, it is the sweetest, most, most heartwarming thing in the world.

[Sherman]

This. The treaty of Zilla has been signed. Yeah, the war is over.

[Willie One Shelf]

Well, the war still.

[Sherman]

The war.

[Willie One Shelf]

The war still takes place. Zilla's like, hitting phase is getting better.

[Sherman]

The hugs are gonna help.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, the hugs are gonna hugs. I mean, they're bonding. It's so cool watching them to like, become best friends as sisters, because it's not like the, the gap of age is going to close. But Scotty, as she gets older, they're just going to continue to play more. Like they have so much fun together. They throw ball and they go and sprint, try to get the ball.

[Sherman]

It does, it does close in a way, though. I know what you mean. Yeah, it does close in a way.

[Willie One Shelf]

And but with the hitting stuff, like, there's even more now, like, Charles was putting me on, on game when I, when we were out in la and I'm like, is there anything new? Like, new updates with Scotty? Like, anything. Is she saying different words or. Because you know how you can be gone a few days and you feel like you've missed an entire phase with the kids with Ruby and four, like, it's not as prominent as with like Scotty being our 18 month old. Like, is she doing anything new? And she's realizing too, like when, when mom and Rue are trying to have a conversation in the car, Scotty will now just yell and like scream and we'll be back. Oh, it's hurting my ears, Mama. Because with the whole hitting phase and everything else, like, Scotty's just wanting attention. Like, mom will be sitting there, like doing like say for ballet. Scotty's standing on the, the little sander thing and on the kitchen by the island. And mom is doing ruse hair in the chair.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

So I'm feeding Scotty, but Scotty will look over and notice that mom is doing Rue's hair and not doing Scotty's hair. And so she'll be like reaching, trying to like, interrupt. Like, she's just trying, like the whole hitting Thing in the. The screaming and everything else is because Scotty just wants attention from mom or who? From whoever.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's usually Mom. But Charlotte, like when they're in the car and they're trying to talk to each other, Scotty will yell. And I'm like, that's so funny because when Charo and I, when it was just Rue and Rue was around Scotty's age or the two year old phase, and she's. It's just Rue. We don't have Scotty yet. Charlie and I, if we're in the front seat trying to have a conversation, just mom and dad. Because usually most of the time when you're a parent, you're like engaging with the little one or trying to keep them entertained or, hey, do you want to snack? Or letting them talk or pick songs, whatever it is. Yeah, but Rue, I'm like, that's funny because Rue would be the same way with me and my wife. Like, when we're driving, like, if Charl and I are trying to have a conversation, it'd be rude, like yelling, like, don't talk to dad. Dad. Like, I want you to talk to me. I want you to talk to me. Or if she didn't have the language to articulate that yet, she would yell and they'd be like, do you want us, Rue? Do you want us to talk to you? And she'd say, yeah. And it's funny now because it's happening with Rue, with Ru and mom, and Scotty is trying to scream, yeah. And back, no, I want. I want you guys to give me attention. Yeah. Like, probably in her brain is you guys always give Ru attention. But golly, it's just fascinating seeing the, the development, especially around, like, I'm always telling parents, like, if I come across a PT6ER and they have their little one with them, and I'll be like, how old? And they might say, if they say 16 months. Like, you know, 16 months is like the number where I'm like, all this is when their personality, like, comes to life. So it's just, it's fascinating to see, like, her development in this phase because she's just growing up, man.

[Sherman]

Yeah, dude.

[Willie One Shelf]

Seeing that she's trying to soothe herself with Rue now, that's the. That's the crack of cold one I got.

[Sherman]

That's a good crack. A cold one. Into the hair example, we would always hit Wrigley used to have really bad allergies, our dog, and we had hit him with his prescription eardrops that would send Goose. And so we would get the prescription ear drops with the cap on, and we would turn his head and go, oh, Goose. Here you go. Somehow that every time he's like, oh, good, I'll shake it out. I got it, too.

[Willie One Shelf]

Are your dogs like that attention wise with Scarlet, dude? Because waffles like that in her. Like, I feel like pets are the same way. Like, when the baby comes and all the attentions on the baby will.

[Sherman]

We haven't even.

[Willie One Shelf]

The dog starts acting out or they start doing things. And obviously you're a little bit more direct with your dog. Like, once your kid comes, you think you're not gonna love your kid as much as you love your dog. Then your kid gets here.

[Sherman]

Yes.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's like, oh, dog clearly falls down the ladder. Her dog starts to act out.

[Sherman]

Wrigley, our dachshund Chihuahua, he is a very smart dog. Like, extremely emotionally intelligent. I know a lot of people say that, but, you know, you could just look at a dog's eyes, you go, that dog's with it.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like, that dog, he'd say since if he could.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Like, he's not just here for treats and bones and stuff. Like, this guy knows what's going on, bro. He almost. He almost just up and quit this weekend in with the new house. He's already having problems with the attention stuff with Scarlet. Real issues. He's pissed about Scarlett. The only thing that has kept him in the game is dinner time with Scarlett, where all the scraps are falling on the floor. And he's like, hey, if that means I get some extra treats that now this thing's around, I guess I'll put up with her. But we moved to this new house, dude. And he's like, I'm done. Like, y' all think. Y' all tell me what to do. You think that I'm only gonna go outside to go on walks and be on your time? You have completely uprooted my whole entire world. And I'm done. I'm done. First five minutes in the backyard out finds a way to get underneath the fence, and he's out and about running around.

[Willie One Shelf]

We're trying to find home.

[Sherman]

Yeah. He's like, dude, I'm pissed. You're making me sleep in a laundry room instead of the master bedroom. Because all of a sudden, Mom's like, I don't want the dogs in the room. F you, Mom.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, man. You gotta feel for the animals, too, because, yeah, they don't. When it's moving time, you all know, like, you're like, you're getting ready for the move. You know you're moving. You know you're getting in a new house. You've already picked it. You get in the new house, you're seeing all new things. We're gonna put this here, there. The other. Other animals, they have no clue what's going on.

[Sherman]

No clue.

[Willie One Shelf]

You just uprooted his entire life. Oh, yeah.

[Sherman]

He never growls at people, ever. And Blake and his family, they got, like, kids. There's my cracker. Cold one. Is all the neighborhood kids. I'll get into that. I'll put a button on the story. But the. His family and all these kids are around the fence. They're all like, wrigley, Wrigley. Because I told him Wrigley's name game. And Wrigley stopped in the middle of the yard, like, far away from the fence, and looks at him and just goes. It goes back to sniffing. I was like, them kids, dude. What was that?

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, he's a sweet dog.

[Sherman]

Such a sweet dog, too. And I'm like, dude, Wrigley's pissed. He's not happy.

[Willie One Shelf]

You gotta have a day with Riggs, bro. We gotta. Dave Wrigley.

[Sherman]

We do. Because he's like, I don't know about this whole.

[Willie One Shelf]

And he got. He got demoted to the laundry room room big time.

[Sherman]

Demoted.

[Willie One Shelf]

I feel like that's a massive change too, bro.

[Sherman]

Massive move, baby. And now guess what, Wrigley? You don't get to sleep underneath mama and dada's bed, like, anymore.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Like, you're in the laundry room now.

[Willie One Shelf]

Pack animals, bro. And you just removed him from. He feels removed from the pack.

[Sherman]

He does feel removed from the pack.

[Willie One Shelf]

And nobody told him. You know what I mean? You can't explain it to him. You can't sit him down in a chair and be like, let's have a hard conversation.

[Sherman]

He feels in his pack.

[Willie One Shelf]

He feels exiled from the pack.

[Sherman]

Yeah. And now he's on a lone wolf arc.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yes. Yeah.

[Sherman]

He said, I'll be the alpha of my own, then. Yeah. If I'm not in your.

[Willie One Shelf]

He's now curating a different movie, dude.

[Sherman]

I need to take him. Okay? So to my crack. A cold one. Thank you, Lollipop for the dog.

[Willie One Shelf]

That. This is an episode for the dog.

[Sherman]

Yeah, this episode for the dog. This kind of. This really is a D back, though. I'm being serious, and I know you are too, of integrating the dogs to the kiddos. Like, it's a thing, and sometimes it's not thing. Sometimes you have that little brainless golden retriever and the baby comes into the picture, and the golden retriever's like, great. Okay, cool.

[Willie One Shelf]

And some of them just know how to adapt. I feel like, yeah, like waffles. Like, not that way,

[Sherman]

my love.

[Willie One Shelf]

Waffles.

[Sherman]

Love waffles. Waffle. Great love.

[Willie One Shelf]

Respect to waffle.

[Sherman]

Respect. A waffle. My crack, a cold one is that. And I'll segue it to Wrigley and our little day out that we can have in the future. I feel like Superman in the sense of Superman gets his powers from our son. I believe that's why it's a. Our son is a red giant sunlight.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Yeah. And the radiation of our red giant sun is what makes him a little bit more of a superhero on Earth than on Krypton. Correct me, PT Comic book goes, pretty sure that's true.

[Willie One Shelf]

Okay.

[Sherman]

Correct me, PT Comic book goes, I am Superman. Moving to the suburbs out in the country. As far as a dad goes, I. It's like all of a sudden, it's. I'm absorbing all the radiation of the suburbs. There's schools everywhere. I have air monarchs on. On I.

[Willie One Shelf]

That.

[Sherman]

I have a yard that I'm going to be able to cut. I got these huge sidewalks that I can walk my kid and my dogs on. I'm looking around. There's all these other dads out and about doing yard work, and they got their. They got their dad outfits on. And I'm like, okay. Like, this is a place where I can. Dad, this is crazy.

[Willie One Shelf]

You feel like you're around your people?

[Sherman]

I feel like I'm around my people a little bit, kid. Also, this might be my crack. A cold one. Those electric dirt bikes. Dude, have you been seeing these?

[Willie One Shelf]

Where did I see one at? Oh, at. What's the part called? That's close to me. It starts with the P there.

[Sherman]

Yes. Percy Priest.

[Willie One Shelf]

I think Percy Priest have all.

[Sherman]

Warner.

[Willie One Shelf]

Percy Warner.

[Sherman]

Percy.

[Willie One Shelf]

Percy Warner is the lake, right?

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Okay.

[Willie One Shelf]

Percy Warner Park. Yeah, I saw one at Percy Warner Park. This kid ripping around on one, and

[Sherman]

it ain't a ra. I ain't talking about no razor scooter dirt bike that you got at Walmart. I'm talking up at least 100cc electric. Oh, he's got riding boots. Is it one of those bikes that looks like an actual bike, but then it's like hybrid? It's like electric, but you'll look like a dirt bike.

[Willie One Shelf]

But it's electric.

[Sherman]

Fully electric dirt bike. And he's got riding. But this kid's nine at the oldest. He's this big and it's six something in the morning. I'm taking, like, late, you know, almost seven. I'm taking Scarlett on a walk. Walk. And he comes ripping down the street, full wheelie.

[Willie One Shelf]

Full wheelie.

[Sherman]

And is standing on it, has the dirt bike helmet on and the pads and the riding boots and leg stuff. And I turn Scarlet's stroller to be like, scarlett, look at that. And he just like Papa Sherm. Seeing that he has an audience, this kid's like, oh, y' all really want to see something? Like, sees us looking and puts a show on for us for like, five different times. Going up and down, popping wheelies, standing up on one foot and kind of like bouncing up and down as he's popping it. I'm like, dude, this is awesome. The neighborhood has a pond that we can fish in. It's got a nature trail. That's where I'll take Wrigley for a little day out. Let him know, dude, you're part of the pack. Wrigley, if anything, you kind of. I lead this. I'm the leader. You my number one dog for life. You my right hand man.

[Willie One Shelf]

You keep this going.

[Sherman]

I mean, there are so many little, like, adventures and stuff that we can get into, and that's why. That's why crack a cold one, dude. This new neighborhood rips. I am very excited about it.

[Willie One Shelf]

And nothing better, too, than having a good neighbor.

[Sherman]

Yes. Dude. You know when you meet somebody and not to gush, I. They're gonna get after me in the comments. They're gonna be like. Like, sh. Sherman's into the neighbor. Listen, he's.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, you're definitely into the neighbor. The way you explained his fit. Cut off te back, dude.

[Sherman]

He's a dude. I've never had a cool neighbor. And I'm just like.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like, he's a dude's dude.

[Sherman]

Yeah, I'm geeking out a little bit.

[Willie One Shelf]

Strong jawline.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Like, I would say, like, good looking dude.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, good looking dude.

[Sherman]

Wasn't Jared Beam in your neighbor? You've never had a cool one?

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, no,

[Sherman]

I've never had a cold. Next door neighbor. I've never had a cool next door neighbor.

[Willie One Shelf]

I'm with you though, bro. We had a neighbor in our old house across the street before they moved. Favorite neighbor of all time. Yeah, shut up. Shout out. The paler. Shout out. Brian. Paler. But this dude, just in his 40s, mid-40s, but chiseled, would run the marathons, exercise. He'd be out shirtless. I'm like, man, that's it.

[Sherman]

He's Just ripping, dude.

[Willie One Shelf]

He's just a ripping dad.

[Sherman]

That's what I'm saying. Like I pull like I go to ask him to move my TV and he's got the electric like car going in. The two year old has a mullet, by the way. He's like, yeah. You know he's acting out right now because he's 2. Mom says it's because he's got a mullet. They say if we cut the hair, he's gonna start acting right. I'm like, this guy gets it, dude. He just gets it. Gets it.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, somebody dad too that just got the, they got the shades on, the little like runners backwards. Hat, shirt off.

[Sherman]

Yeah, sure.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like tucked in their back shorts. Just like running. See the sunlight just hitting. Yeah. Muscle.

[Sherman]

He's. He's got blue collar jaw. I don't want to dox him too much because I haven't even talked to him about the pod. But he's a blue collar guy.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. Which is gonna have to learn about it. Oh yeah, you're gonna have to show him the clip.

[Sherman]

Well, he, he already came over a little bit with the fence. Was like looking at the fence and my idea that I told him to put animal netting like on the bottom of the fence.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

He was like, dude, I was thinking that same thing. Like maybe some. And we literally almost at the same time go zip ties to lock it down. Like we're.

[Willie One Shelf]

You guys said at the same time. And then had a moment a little

[Sherman]

bit and Jill's like on the porch, I'm like, hey, honey, wait, weren't you getting like a water or something? And he, to his wife, he was like, yeah, honey, aren't you putting the kids down for a nap? They're like, no, but we can you

[Willie One Shelf]

both just say zip ties at the same time. Zip ties. Then you just hold out, throw a little dap. Hey, you want some water? Give my wife to get us some water. Hey, sweetheart, you get us some water.

[Sherman]

Water. Yeah, honey, Put the, Put the kids out for a nap, dude.

[Willie One Shelf]

You're a good dude.

[Sherman]

Kind of red dude. He was sitting there too.

[Willie One Shelf]

You guys like board games?

[Sherman]

He goes, he goes. He sees my grills and my smoker and he's, he's like, dude, there's this one guy that's like a couple houses down. He rips on the grill and we'll get on my grill and we do like some barbecue, we do some burgers and we wheel out the TVs. We get two TVs in the driveway and we just watch College football out in the driveway right here on Saturdays if you're. Do you like college football?

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, you struck gold, bro.

[Sherman]

Brother, she got a beer fridge. He seems like a guy with a garage beer fridge. And a weight set. Oh, and a weight set.

[Willie One Shelf]

Imagine you just walking in Bud Light, rack in one hand, Ollie pop, rack in another. Boys, let's watch some college ball.

[Sherman]

I said college football. Now, is that the one where they. They all, you know, kind of get together? Like, tell me about it. Like, I want to learn about it, you know, because I. I'm playing hard to get. Like, I don't want to be like,

[Willie One Shelf]

yeah, college football number one. It's not like it seemed like he was inviting you, but you don't know if you're in yet.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, it sounds like a great time.

[Sherman]

And what's barbecue again? Remind me, what's barbecue? Oh, so you slow cook the meat so it falls off the bone. That sounds interesting.

[Willie One Shelf]

I don't think you can play like that.

[Sherman]

Oh, I didn't. I was overthinking it.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, because you. You. You hear a dude say, like, oh, what's barbecue? Right there where you're almost strike. You're almost strike three. Out of the gate.

[Sherman]

He goes, okay, geek. Yeah, how about you get out of my yard?

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, barbecue. What's barbecue? And then he hits you with, oh, we also serve tofu.

[Sherman]

Hey, upside down tv, Stan Sherman, what's barbecue?

[Willie One Shelf]

But he doesn't know how to amount of tv doesn't know what barbecue is. Sounds like he doesn't know what college football is.

[Sherman]

Yes, college football.

[Willie One Shelf]

You watch soccer and eat vegetarian.

[Sherman]

He asked me. College football was the one with the guys with the megaphones. I'm getting some weird wife. We sent zip ties at the same time. He sent his wife in to get a water.

[Willie One Shelf]

You know, Sher. Oh, yeah, you were saying how you like Sherm, the next door neighbor. Yeah, the stocky dude. Like, he's got some. He's got some weird vibes.

[Sherman]

I mean, the wife is really sweet. Like, wife's cool. They could come over for dinner. But, like, let's. You know. Yeah, I think we should just order pizza and just kind of keep it.

[Willie One Shelf]

I think instead of making them a pie or a cake, I think you just give them jello.

[Sherman]

The one with the fruit in it. Nasty. Like fruit casserole. Jello.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, with these guys. Let them know where they are on the totem pole. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, let's get into some community, shall we?

[Sherman]

Yes, please.

[Willie One Shelf]

We got a bunch of shout outs around here. Let's go. Since we hit dad hacks and wins and losses, let's hit some. I got a dad winning loss right here from Hayden Waite. Dad lost, question mark. Boys, I need some thoughts and prayers from the pt6 community. In one month, baby number four will be here. Finally having a boy after three girls. Hayden. Congratulations, brother. Baby is fine. Where the prayers come in. Wife made me get a vasectomy. Oh, God. I was scared out of my mind. But all was well. Peace still works. Shooting blanks. Problem is the doctor recommended having 30 to 50 ejaculations in the first 12 weeks before getting the semen analysis. That's like every other day. And my wife is an absolute sicko about keeping me on the schedule. This week. I forgot to take the trash out and didn't even. That didn't even matter last night. I didn't even have to do the dishes first. Not sure how I make. I will make it through this difficult time. Thanks to this community for keeping me in mind and helping me stay strong. Don't give up on trying for a boy. Papa. Team six out. Hayden.

[Sherman]

Oh, Hayden. We love doing this podcast and we love it even more when our community reaches out to us in times like this. I have not experienced. I have no experience with this. I did. I'm not snipped. And I would just say do your best to keep to the schedule. I know it's going to be hard to shoot your shot every other day.

[Willie One Shelf]

30 to 50 ejaculations in the first 12 weeks, buddy. Stay hydrated.

[Sherman]

Stay hydrated.

[Willie One Shelf]

Eat your fruits.

[Sherman]

Yep.

[Willie One Shelf]

Stay hydrated. Get you.

[Sherman]

Get your protein too, man. Get you some protein electrolytes and just. It takes a man to ride the shockwave, but to get back in line right after you. You wrote shockwave. That takes a sicko.

[Willie One Shelf]

It takes a boy to ride the shockwave. It takes a man to be the shockwave.

[Sherman]

Yeah. So be. Be the man that you know you are, Hayden. And nut up or shut up.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

If you will.

[Willie One Shelf]

Eject ejaculate.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Come.

[Willie One Shelf]

What is that? 30. 30 to 50.

[Sherman]

Not a get to 12. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He has to.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. Numbers like that. It's not. I get to ejaculate. I have to eject.

[Sherman]

World record level numbers. Yeah. Yeah. And hopefully he can have that mental shift back to a get to. I don't want to force that on

[Willie One Shelf]

if you get to 50. So let's say here 12 times five is 60 plus 24 more. 84. 84 days in that 12 weeks. Right.

[Sherman]

Was the five days in a week. Because there's seven.

[Willie One Shelf]

I was doing 12 weeks. 12 weeks times seven. 12 weeks times five is 60 days. That's five weeks. Add 14 more days, two extra weeks.

[Sherman]

Right, Right. So what, so what we'll do just

[Willie One Shelf]

really quick in the first 12 weeks

[Sherman]

is we're going to 12 times. We're going to go like. We're going to go like this. We're just going to say it like this.

[Willie One Shelf]

What's 12? Seven.

[Sherman]

There we go. And there we go. That's 84.

[Willie One Shelf]

84.

[Sherman]

And you know what's really, you know what's really scary? You know what's really scary? Like, come to the work. He got 84. On the first math that he did. You multiplied five times the wrong way and then you added some other days in there and you got to 84. If you run the tape. Fact. So good on you. Will's math works. You just see colors and shapes. Works. Cuz I even sat there and I was like, what? And I multiplied seven times 12. I go, well, it is 80. He added the weekends after by multiplying two and 12 and getting 24 weekends and then did 50 plus 24. That was great.

[Willie One Shelf]

Thank you, thank you.

[Sherman]

That was great. Yes.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like the idiot got it.

[Sherman]

You're not like you're. You weirdly got it like so fast. Dude. Before I even multiplied seven times 12, you weirdly got to it. But yes. 84. He has to come 50 times in 84 days.

[Willie One Shelf]

Okay, okay.

[Sherman]

Yeah, we can figure something out. Yeah, you can figure something out.

[Willie One Shelf]

Come on.

[Sherman]

Space those off days out now, honey, make sure you get to bed. Let's get you some ice cream and let's get you in bed early tonight.

[Willie One Shelf]

Okay, sweetheart? Doctor said I gotta ejaculate 30 to 50 times in the first 12 weeks. He said I do need to be bedridden.

[Sherman]

Oh, okay.

[Willie One Shelf]

Need some bedside help? Yeah, I need to take off work.

[Sherman]

Work. He. He gave me these coupons from this podcast. He said these might help. He's like, you know, if you know.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

I have Keith Bell with the dad loss. Keith writes in and says, hey, just drop in to share a dad loss that occurred literally moments ago. My dad, or granddaddy as he is called, babysits for my wife Krista, a certified MT Sixer. Mama Team six or Milk Team six? Six and I, on the days that we work, which is a major dad win, my wife works part time. I work full time. So granddaddy babysits three days a week. Our little dude Oliver Is eight months old and it feels so good having him watched over by someone that we know and trust. Caveat. My dad is always early to everything. Today we asked if he could show up at 9am My wife is off, but she has a dentist and hair appointment and I don't get into work until later on Thursdays. So we had a a little extra time in the morning together than usual. I think I know where this is going. I don't want to spoil anything, but

[Willie One Shelf]

I think I know.

[Sherman]

I think I know where this is going. When Jill and I have some extra time in the morning, we put little man down for a nap at 8:20. And you know where dada's head is at. Come on.

[Willie One Shelf]

Come on. Morning gutter.

[Sherman]

Morning shockwave. Wifey says mission is a go. We're buckling in piss missile in my hand. I'm 100 ready for the loop de loop. Phone rings at 8:25. Granddaddy's here.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh no.

[Sherman]

Ready to be let into the. Into the house. Wifey called it when she saw him parked in the lot, but I said it's fine. He usually sits there for a bit. Sicko. Keith, you say go those male thing ever?

[Willie One Shelf]

No, no, no, it's fine. It's all good. It's all good.

[Sherman]

That's not even his car. You just do the hand on the blinds to like shut the floor.

[Willie One Shelf]

He's gonna sit on the driveway for a bit.

[Sherman]

The father in law just sees the blinds come going crazy from the parking lot.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, he's at the door. Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

[Sherman]

That's on him.

[Willie One Shelf]

That's on him.

[Sherman]

That's Amazon. I ordered something. I know. A true embarrassment of riches. So it is truly a dad loss. You tell me. Thanks for everything you fellas do. You are beloved by the bell household. Like 2020 Baker Mayfield. Nick Chub, FTD is the goat. That was a great.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, it's a great dad loss. It is a loss.

[Sherman]

It's a loss.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's a loss. It's a loss.

[Sherman]

I have a dad win.

[Willie One Shelf]

More opportunities in the future.

[Sherman]

Yeah, he needs to call Hayden. Hayden will give him some tips.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, just go get a vasectomy.

[Sherman]

Just go get snipped, dude. Tristan Sprunger wrote in with the dad win shout out to all the PT sickos that made it through a successful school Mother's Day dad win. This past week took both kids and the dog on a walk while the MT Sixer was out of the house. Leash in one hand, smart bike in the other. Successful walk Good for him, man.

[Willie One Shelf]

Good job, Tristan.

[Sherman]

Let's go, Tristan.

[Willie One Shelf]

I have a dad hack here. I love this one. This is from Mark on Discord. Transforming the garage into a home gym is the best dad hack for PT Fit out there. Been able to train a lot more frequently, fitting shorter shift, fitting shorter sessions in and there if needed. Plus my son spends hours in the gym with the wifey and I every week. This is the kind of environment they'll raise him to be. An absolute beast. Best believe he'll be ready for the A gap with the photo of the garage gym. And this is a A plus dad hack. Having the garage gym like this Sorenex gym that I got ripping right now. It is just so helpful because you can just go out in your garage and get a workout in. Like go out and get a session in and in the afternoon, like, say you find a pocket where Scotty's down for nap and I'll go out and get a workout in and real come outside and play. Sometimes she'll want to not participate in what I'm doing, but she'll want. She'll be interested in all the bells and whistles in the gym. To where I'm like, you know, you're setting the weight at like 30 pounds. Pull something down. Or she'll want to do a pull up.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

To where you just. To his point, you have them around the environment, which just excites you because you want them to be seeing you sweat, seeing you work hard.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Seeing them do something and accomplish something. Like with the pull. Pull up. I'll have her hanging and then you got the. We got the band system. To where I'll set it up to where it's really tight. To where she's just working on basically like standing on the band and sees herself like pull up and everything else. Yeah. Now back. Eventually we'll continue to like move this down or we'll get a lighter band and you'll be able to do a pull up on your own. Yeah, she want to get off. She want to try a different machine. Or I have this little. This tread sled or a sled tread, whatever it is, whatever it's called. From knees over toes goes. And I'll be walking on this. It kind of acts like. Looks like a little mini treadmill. But you have to activate it yourself. To where it's like you're pushing a sled. You can turn the resistance up or down. But she'll want to get on and like push and I'll put it on the lightest one tour. She's like pushing her feet.

[Sherman]

Oh, that's hilarious.

[Willie One Shelf]

Or you have them engaged and around the environment. Yeah. And it is just. It's a lot of fun and it's such a time saver because you don't have to travel anywhere to go to a gym. Yes. You just go out in your garage and if wifey it's like, hey, I'll talk rue into coming outside with me. Mom will get some solo time and

[Sherman]

seeing neighbor Blake's setup. And also Jeremy Clump setup. He recently just set up his garage.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's been rolling. He's got consistency going with PT Fit.

[Sherman]

I finally have a garage for the first time in my. Well my life with Jill. Like first time having place with the garage.

[Willie One Shelf]

2 car, 4 car, 2 car. What are you doing with it?

[Sherman]

Well, that's what I'm saying. It's like the, the options are endless and we got. I don't want to like tease it too much but we had a company reach out with like a pretty sick lead. I can follow up. They have to shoot us an email for what we sent over to them. But they are sick. Follow up and hopefully that comes to fruition. Yeah, they're like a storage system. Yada yada for a garage. I don't want to do a shout out. No free shout out. But they are very.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's just a crew reached out.

[Sherman]

Yeah. This is the crew that reached out.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sherman]

Back and just said hey, hit the email. And I just haven't seen an email.

[Willie One Shelf]

They did Chandlers, right?

[Sherman]

I believe so. It's whoever helped you find your phone in the chair.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah.

[Sherman]

Because if we get that I will 100 have room for like one of those bench squat sets. Or is that what it's called?

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, Rack.

[Sherman]

Yeah, rack.

[Willie One Shelf]

You figure out they got a lot of. There's a lot of stuff out there. Like Sorenex has different rack systems to where the rack can be against the wall if you're trying to be as efficient as possible. So you gonna park in the garage?

[Sherman]

Yes.

[Willie One Shelf]

So when Charl and I were in the last house, it was a two car and I just decided like I'm not going to park my truck in the garage. I want to use my half for. For a smaller gym.

[Sherman]

Oh, that's. That's a good point too.

[Willie One Shelf]

Now that we have the four car, Charles still parks in the garage. Like I still park outside the garage. Cuz I want as much space as possible because I wanted that sore next gym. You kind of just want the lay of the land. That's like my Northstar to me. That's like a non negotiable. If I have to park outside the garage so that way I can have like a functional gym the way I want it. That's the bullet I want to bite. I. I always, of course I try and negotiate us both parking outside the garage. So that way the entire gym. The entire garage can be a gym. Yeah. But wifey's like, no, no, no, no.

[Sherman]

That might, that might be the game plan. Cuz I have full autonomy of the. Of the garage.

[Willie One Shelf]

You can get Jill to park outside.

[Sherman]

I don't think she'll want to park outside because she is excited about having a garage. But remainder space. Full autonomy.

[Willie One Shelf]

That's what I'm saying. You have a two car. You split in half. Like you have more than enough space to have a great gym.

[Sherman]

And it is a two. It's a true two car. But it does have a nice little lip like to the side of like workbench storage system. Small home gym. That. But with the. My car being out with like. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

We're looking at.

[Willie One Shelf]

Again, it depends on how like if you're. If you're up for moving things around every time you want to pull in or pull out of the garage. Like my strength coach from Nebraska. Like when I would be at his house during COVID working out when he lived out in Nolensville when he. He had a job here at Vanderbilt. Now he's at Oklahoma. Shout out James Thompson.

[Sherman]

Come on, James.

[Willie One Shelf]

But he had a full setup and all of his stuff was like against the wall.

[Sherman]

The wall.

[Willie One Shelf]

So he'd take like the, the bench. He'd take like the bench and move it to stand it up. Up against the wall. So that way he could still pull into the garage.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

If he wanted to.

[Sherman]

And dude, with me, I'm lazy.

[Willie One Shelf]

So it's just. I want the. I want the gym set up. I'll just park.

[Sherman]

I get that. I get. Because that's almost a workout in itself. Especially after you're done working out.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sherman]

Having to put everything up. I'd be like, no.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Absolutely not. The neighborhood, my walking game, dude, is about to skyrocket. Not that the last neighborhood didn't have in it, but this nature trail. I'll send you pics. Like I'll. I'll send y' all videos. Goes around the whole neighborhood. And it's like in the trees. Yeah. Lots of topography. My dang dude. This is like morning and evening walks are Going to be sick.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, I'm fired up for you bro. I actually have one. Since we're on the subject of Papa Team Fit, I have a have a comment here in the Papa Team Fit game. We also have oh before and after photos. Seems like we got a big weight loss journey. Cameron Neil hello, my name is Cameron Neil, father of Bennett Neil 14 months and other is on the way. November 2026 Congratulations Cameron. I wanted to reach out regarding PT Fit and the possibility of sharing my story on the podcast. Less than four years ago, I started my health journey at roughly 390 pounds. Around the same time I was preparing to ask my wife's father for permission to marry her. He encouraged me to begin taking my health seriously and to start making changes for my future and my family. Oh wow. That's a awesome combo for father in law to have that conversation stuck with me and became one of the major turning points in my life at the time I realized I need to make a serious change not just for myself, but for the people I love most. I wanted to be around my kids long term, to have the energy to play with them, compete with them and truly be present as a father and husband. Since beginning that journey, I've worked my way down to 265 pounds. It's about 130 pounds lost. That is awesome bro. And recently completed a marathon. What once felt impossible became achievable through consistency, discipline and the motivation that fatherhood and family bring. This transformation has been about far more than weight loss. It has been about becoming the kind of man, husband and dad my family deserves. Healthier, stronger, more active and able to fully participate in life instead of watching from the sideline lines. I believe there are a lot of fathers out there who struggle with balancing family, work and health and personal goals. And I love the opportunity to talk about the mindset, shifts, setbacks, training and motivation that helped me transform my life. Thank you for your time and consideration. I love the chance to connect further. Sorry for the long message boys. Love you all. PT Sicko out. Best regards, Cameron Neal. I'm the one in the all Black Black. That's big time, bro. Yeah, that's big time.

[Sherman]

Cameron Neal. What a legend, dude. 390 to what?

[Willie One Shelf]

390 to 265.

[Sherman]

Jeffer Rooney.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, he's he. I mean he's right too.

[Sherman]

Like he was a big boy in that one and then.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, he was a big boy.

[Sherman]

Not that he looked bad then, he looked comfortably big, but like that looks like a man that would Run marathon. Yeah, he's like a great.

[Willie One Shelf]

This is a guy, right? This is a guy now who's down 130 pounds lighter and completed a marathon. Marathon that would say, no, you don't have. To me, like that was big and unhealthy. You know what I mean? For sure. They just have like a different perspective on everything now that they've achieved or they're getting in the, in the, in the phase that they want to be in. Yeah, he's right too. Like dads who are like very much about the family life and figuring out how to balance work, life, family, all of it. Number one, there is no such thing as, as balance. It's just prioritizing and everybody does, myself included. Struggles quite a bit at times when trying to find the balance of work, personal goals, health, everything else. Obviously we, before PT6 started to come to become like a thing for us, it was around like blood work and stuff that me and you had gotten from going to the doctor. And you just realize how stressful things can be on you. Like when you're not prioritizing the right things and focusing on the right things.

[Sherman]

It truly. How much, how much of a difference? I'm not down any significant way weight right now. I am truly not. I am however, probably down 20 pounds of what I was when I first moved here. And just the difference on. And some blue collar guy wrote in about PT fit of like walks and how it helps his hip flexors and his back. Dude, the difference of how I feel today after that move and I was moving more stuff stuff this move than when I moved to Nashville, bro. My. You remember how wrecked my back was when I first got.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh yeah.

[Sherman]

I mean I was having to stretch like during conver every day during conversations, just doing my hip flexors, doing my back. It's crazy what just that little amount and I'm not even, not even close to like a weight goal or a, you know, whatever.

[Willie One Shelf]

My wife and I were talking this morning because we're both just like. It's, it's obviously it's like making those little choices in your routine like because we'll stay up till 10:30, 11:00 clock watching TV together. Like right now we're watching Rooster. Great easy show to watch. Funds comedy. Steve Carell.

[Sherman]

Steve Carell.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's like an easier watch compared to the ones that types of shows we usually like watching.

[Sherman]

Rooster. Rooster.

[Willie One Shelf]

And they're like 24, 25 minutes of pop.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

So just easy and, and last few nights like we've been going to bed around like 11 or like in between 11 and 12. And we obviously like, we get up early. Like she woke up this morning to go hit a workout at 6. I got up to hit my workout. And it's just knowing that you're only getting six hours of sleep a night is just like, it's just not sustainable. And if we continue to choose watching TV late, eventually we're going to start hitting snooze a lot more. Like we're going to be sleeping because we know we're going to need more sleep. So we're going to sleep until 7 instead of waking, waking up early knowing that we need to take care of our health because we're ultimately just every night making the lazy decision of staying up late to watch tv.

[Sherman]

And for some people they're like, oh, that the healthy decision stuff, the healthy habits, all that. How's that fit into parenting? How's that fit into fatherhood? Like that. Those seem like two separate things. One thing that Jill and I were just talking about at dinner with our parent or my mom and dad, we were talking about how much it is helped with Jill and I sleep with Jill and I's eating schedule and eating habits of doing those family dinners at like 5:36 because Scarlett has to eat at that time too to go down for bed. Instead of just doing Scarlett's meals and all that prep and feed her, blah, blah. Then she's down. Now it's 8:30. Oh, we didn't do dinner. Hey, let's get some, you know, blank.

[Willie One Shelf]

And by that time you're, you're even hungrier. You're like hungry. You don't want to sit here and cook anything or. And it's like, okay, let's maybe get on the, the apps and order a salad. You know you ain't gonna order a salad.

[Sherman]

No. And I'm just, you're gonna get takeout. And I'm not trying to dog any brands but like you know the type of food that you're getting at that time.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. And so, so you're eating around 9, 9:30.

[Sherman]

Yes, dude. And how much of a difference it's made of like some oven cooked salmon that Jill's like just popping in the oven. Salt and pepper, olive oil, nice and easy with some greens. We're not doing anything crazy like quinoa or kale. This is like sweet potatoes and broccoli. Like you could keep it so basic but I mean that, that truly has done wonders in Chef and I were talking this morning just those small like

[Willie One Shelf]

lifestyle changes because you're right, you're eating late. And then if you're staying up late, like I'm just talking about with the example, then you're trying to sleep in as long as you can until the kiddos got to get up. But then when you. You're up rocking around with the kiddos like, you're still tired, you're lethargic, you're trying to rush out of the house, then you got to go into the chaos and stress of your career in work.

[Sherman]

And you're running late for work.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, you're stressed. You're probably not giving the best energy to each other or just in the house because you're all trying to do whatever you're trying to do to get out of the house. Then you go into work, and work could be a soul suck. Then you get home and you kind of do it all again. It's like, oh, I'm going to choose the easy route here. Let's get the kids fed. We'll get the kid put down. Then we'll order something. Like, our highlight then becomes comes, what food are we going to order at night time together? Knowing that you're just doing these and it's small and it doesn't poke its head out until the time comes when you go to a doctor's appointment or you go to a doctor's visit and your stress levels are high, your cholesterol is bad, your blood pressure is bad. You're doing all these things.

[Sherman]

Let's take that blood pressure thing again. Do you have some coffee this morning? You're like, no, I didn't.

[Willie One Shelf]

And to that point, then you're operating all day on caffeine.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

You're, like doing all these small decisions that grow into this massive snowball of bad momentum. Then you're looking at yourself in the mirror one day, they, like, just upset and disappointed because you never got out of the bad habits that holiday food started to kind of creep in and create.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

And honestly speaking to myself.

[Sherman]

No, I was about to say for myself, being, you know, a weight that is definitely overweight. The small wins that have accumulated over the past probably three months are like talking with Chef about, like, I'm falling asleep at 9 or 9:30 now instead of 12:30 or 1, and I'm waking up in the morning with energy to be able to. Hell, yeah. Let's go on a morning walk. Let's get the kid and the thing and the dogs. Like, I'm feeling gutsy, I'm feeling confident. If you looked at a two week stretch and said, hey Sherman, of this two week stretch, when did you fall asleep before 10? Can you choose a night? Maybe one. One. And now it's probably eight. Like I fell asleep before 10 o'. Clock. And it's crazy how much of a difference that has made just in the office and stress levels, dude.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, because you accomplish something in the morning and whether or not you're just moving, light mobility, going for a walk, getting a workout in and sweating the vibes you feel when you're making breakfast and getting everybody going and getting everybody rolling, you and wifey, you get a nice, you get a shower in, you're doing, you're able to get dressed, dress the way you want to get dressed. Like all the things to where you have now momentum going into work and just a better vibe throughout the day because you know you got work in that you can kind of hang your hat on when you do have a little ice cream.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Hey everyone, it's Cal Penn. I'm the host of Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Ray Park Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook project, Hail Mary Massive sci fi adventure about survival

[Willie One Shelf]

and science and what happens when you

[Sherman]

wake up alone, very far from Earth. I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections and it's like, okay, yo, yo, yo, is this indulgent? And I really thought about it. I was like, no.

[Willie One Shelf]

At end. The at this point, it would kind

[Sherman]

of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it. But there's places in this book that deeply, emotionally affected me and I left it on the mic. That's great because it served the story. People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end. It's like, yeah, dude, me too. Listen to Irsay the Audible and I Heart Audiobook Club on the I Heart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.

Airline loses baby's car seat stroller for hours while baby is teething, screaming and crying. Good Landlord tells us they're selling the house and we have 60 days to find a new home. Good.

[Sherman]

Wait. That's the best news ever. They get to move.

My husband is a big fan of y'. All. He tell he tells all his soon to be dad friends to follow along because y' all helped him on his first time dad dad journey. I Wanted to shout out my husband for being a rock star. First time dad. He spent his first weekend as a single dad with our six month old while I went on a girls trip. Let's go. That's huge.

[Willie One Shelf]

How old was the kid?

[Sherman]

Six months.

[Willie One Shelf]

Wow.

[Sherman]

Let's go, let's go. Not only did I not have to stress about leaving my baby boy for the first time, but my husband rocked it. He knew the schedule, the feedings, everything. I came home to my boys happy. And flowers in my favorite video vase. Dude, I love this. Dad. Let's go. Did she ever say his name? She never said his name. Mr. Shane. Well done.

[Willie One Shelf]

Well done. That right there is the write up of writeups you need in the first year of fatherhood.

[Sherman]

That's. That's the report card. Like comes home and that's like that's on the fridge.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sherman]

That's on the fridge.

[Willie One Shelf]

That right there is exactly what your wife needs when you have a newborn.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Or baby 6 months old. Like the anxiety that mom feels to leave the kid for the first time and knowing that dad absolutely knocks it out of the park. Knowing everything that needs to be done like that is what you strive for.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

So wifey can go and try to have the most carefree time that she's going to be wanting photos and videos and check ins because it's super hard for mom to leave like dad. I guess it is too. But not close to, to not close to mama bear.

[Sherman]

Yeah dude.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's like knowing you knock out of the park when they're gone or giving them like you see it. Mama stressed. You guys have been in the trenches for a while now. Newborn doing all the things mom clearly is the, is the glue to it all.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's you as the man, as dad, as husband. Need to identify like yo, she needs to go have a weekend with the girls or go do something. And I need to let her know that I have everything fully unlocked because she needs to disconnect. Go find her identity like pre motherhood a little bit. Like just let her hair down. Go have fun. Get her, get her set up with a massage. Get her set up wherever it is. Just to where they go and do their thing and try to disconnect as much as they can.

[Sherman]

It truly feels like a first round of the playoffs where your star quarterback gets hurt going into the first round of the playoffs. He just has to miss a week. If we get past this one playoff game with our backup. Yeah, we know we're going to the Super Bowl.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

And there's no better feeling than that starting quarterback being on the sidelines with a hoodie and a clipboard and a headset and he's watching QB to operate out there. And he's just got a smile on his face. Yeah, buddy. Yeah. It's a good feeling.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's a good feeling. It's a great feeling.

[Sherman]

Kyle Smith wrote in a dad hack. I'll keep it very brief. His dad hack is essentially when. Basically baby goes down for a nap and we're talking little babies. Little babies. When they're doing the little three hour sleep. Eat, sleep, eat. You got newborn.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Let mama get her rest during those little three hour breaks, wherever you can find for her to get some napage in. And he said while she's napping and baby snapping, go do some dishes. Dad hack. He said 99.9 of the time, it works every time. Time. And you may even get a bow on it. May even get a bow.

[Willie One Shelf]

Maybe, maybe, maybe. That new in the game? Doubtful. But maybe.

[Sherman]

Doubtful. But 99.9% of the time works out.

[Willie One Shelf]

Your mama wakes up from a nap and the island's clean and the clutter is decluttered.

[Sherman]

Wait, you wash my pump parts too? Yeah, I don't even have to wash my. What's that?

[Willie One Shelf]

That's game for any dads on the way. Any dads on the way. That is game right there.

[Sherman]

Oh, you watch those pump parts, dude, that's like, I don't mean to like, like I'm truly trying to keep it pg. But you, you start washing pump parts and bottle parts, you're talking dirty. Real dirty.

[Willie One Shelf]

But again, you got to finish the job with decluttering the island or decluttering the areas that give mom a little stress.

[Sherman]

Have to. Dude, now you're just whispering sweet nothings into her ear.

[Willie One Shelf]

That's a second effort that they talk about.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Voicemails and emails.

[Willie One Shelf]

Let's do it.

[Sherman]

601 the dads. You call in, you leave a voicemail. We play it on the show. We got four this week. First one is titled.

[Willie One Shelf]

Good, Good.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Is that it?

[Sherman]

That's it. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

That was left by anonymous. That was left by Anonymous. Anonymous. And I think we kind of got the gist of it, you know.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, he's in the trenches

[Sherman]

and that it. Dude, that was. It's weird when you've had a kid, you know the difference between a newborn cry and a ten month old cry. A two year old cry, that's his newborn. That's fresh out of the hospital.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. That's him. That's him using his resources too. Yeah, like that. Those are moments where you're just. Ain't nobody coming to save you. You ain't getting out of this. Before I lash out, let me hit the hotline.

[Sherman]

You know how much better he felt after he hung up? He went, hey, that wasn't so bad. Yeah, let's get you to sleep in 12 hours or whenever you pass out. Hey, what's up guys? You got Matt here in northern Minnesota just calling in as more of a favor from us blue collar dads out here since you know, the higher ups in Ollipop didn't know if they were open to suggestions. Maybe perhaps some Bud light flavored ollipop.

[Willie One Shelf]

What kind? Something to keep us motivated throughout the week.

[Sherman]

Keep us on our A game. This may be doctored. Did you doctor it? He wanted a certain flavor that I'm sure was another brand that we could have put on there. And he put Bud light flavor on there, bro. I was like, how did he doctor his voice Bell.

[Willie One Shelf]

That was.

[Sherman]

Think we had a lot of time this morning, but that was funny brand appropriate. It's not even. It's not even done yet. That was a. Just calling out is more of a favor from us blue collar dads out here since you know, the higher ups

[Willie One Shelf]

in Ollipop didn't know if they were open to suggestions.

[Sherman]

Maybe perhaps a Bud light flavored Olipop. Something to keep us motivated throughout the week. Keep us on our A game. It could be zero percent.

[Willie One Shelf]

So that way those of us that

[Sherman]

work with like electricity and drive truck can still enjoy some as it goes. But yeah, look into it. Look into it.

[Willie One Shelf]

Of course.

[Sherman]

Yeah, call me back, let me know. Love you guys.

[Willie One Shelf]

Some Ollie beer.

[Sherman]

Some Bud light flavored Ollie, some mayonnaise. I just invented non alcoholic beer. He really did. Dude. Wait till we call him. We call Bry. Do we have an Ollie Bob for you? You

[Willie One Shelf]

this, this rips.

[Sherman]

They've had this for 80 years. What this is always keep grinding.

[Willie One Shelf]

He's just looking for a non alcoholic beer.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah, that truly. This one's titled no more binky.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, that's a big win.

[Sherman]

What's up boys? This is colby from Indiana.

[Willie One Shelf]

24 year old dad of a 20 month old looking for advice because we

[Sherman]

are going through the right now trying to figure out how to wean this girl off of the binky during bedtime. Yeah, every time she brushes her teeth she instantly starts screaming, crying, fussing up until we get those sleep cycle on her and the binky in her hand. Anything to mitigate the crying and screaming

[Willie One Shelf]

and shits as we live in apartment.

[Sherman]

But again, any advice on how to weed a baby off the binky at night time would be much appreciated.

[Willie One Shelf]

Love you boys. How old's the baby?

[Sherman]

I don't know if he said, I'll play it one more

[Willie One Shelf]

boys. From Indiana, national champion four year old

[Sherman]

dad of a 20 month old. 2020. Almost two. Almost two years old.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. Look for me and my experience, Rudin, get off the passy until. Was it three? Yeah, three years old.

[Sherman]

Because our mirror coming over that one

[Willie One Shelf]

day and we tried it too. Yep. Yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's a battle. I feel for my guy.

[Sherman]

It is a battle.

[Willie One Shelf]

There's. There's different options.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

You can just cold turkey and you're gonna have to go through the suck for a minute. We obviously didn't choose that route. We chose. Chose a route to where, you know, say baby's 20 months old, like knowing that two is coming up. 20 at 24 months. Like with, with Rue at three years old. Because again, we tried dabbling with it at 2y and it just did not work out in our favor. We told rude that she was going to give the passy to the passy fairy.

[Sherman]

That's right.

[Willie One Shelf]

So we took her to the store where they have like a passy fairy where you can exchange and turn in all of your beautiful binkies and you get a toy or a stuffy from the passy fairy. So we just like made it a thing to where we're gonna go in and give the passy to passy fairy. Yeah, it sucks for a moment, but I mean, obviously she's not having one now. And I know like what I was worried about is when they have the passy, their teeth will get pushed out a little bit. Yep. Ruse teeth are fine now, so they come back in place. I wouldn't put too much pressure on yourself to feel like you have to get out of the binky phase again. That's coming from a place of like, I, I have zero judgment. Like Ru had a passing till three years old. I was also dead that wished she wouldn't have had a binky past two.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

And you're asking the questions how do we get her off, blah, blah, blah. But it's just a war, bro. Because she herself soothing was with the passy and with Tygi, my.

[Sherman]

My mom tells a story about how they basically turned me into a Sith lord. As far as the binky went, they Snip my binkies at two. So that means you just cut the tip off, Right.

[Willie One Shelf]

So you have no. No suckage. No air in there. So we tried that with Rue, but it didn't phase her. Like, she would still use.

[Sherman]

She would still use.

[Willie One Shelf]

She'd still use. Yeah. Rue was a sicko for the binky.

[Sherman]

So for the snip thing, for me, it turned me into literally an evil person. That my one thing that I hated on this earth was my passes that had betrayed me. I was. I was putting them in my mouth, trying to suck them, and just throwing them up against the wall and being like, what? What have my binkies done?

[Willie One Shelf]

You remember this?

[Sherman]

No, my mom just tells the story.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh. Because I was gonna follow up and say, how old were you?

[Sherman]

Yeah, how old?

[Willie One Shelf]

He's like, I was seven.

[Sherman]

Well, I was seven. Dude, sue me. You just sat there and said you weren't judging anybody. I was in seven.

[Willie One Shelf]

We have fun on the show.

[Sherman]

But, yeah, I like Scotty.

[Willie One Shelf]

I. I feel like will be easier than Rue. There was a moment where she's had to take a couple naps, like, without the passy, and she's handled the naps just fine. She just, it seems like she just. She'll have. She calls it papa.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

She'll have llama in one hand and she'll. Even though the wubbing up the passy fell off. Llama. She doesn't rock with, like, the og Just the regular looking pacifiers. She doesn't mess with any of those. It has to be the one that's from Tyke, or it has to be the one that's from her webinar Dub Llama. That's the only one she uses. And again, she's hit a couple nuts without it. I think Scotty will be much easier.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because we're. We. I. I'm assuming that Charlie and I are both eyeing the two years old because we feel like Scotty will be much easier than Rue was. Rue was addicted to it, so it just felt like a war. We tried the poking holes or kind of messing them up a little bit, but she was just Ruiz, a sicko. For the binkies.

[Sherman]

It feels like. And sounds like from what I've been told, it's very similar to, like, learning how to ride a bike bike that some of your kids, literally, first time you push them and they're pedaling and you're like, oh, damn, they got it. Other ones, it's like, hey, it took like a month for them to learn how to swim. How to.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Do the bike. Scarlet very much feels like a Scott Zilla situation where her love for the passy has grown a bit. And Jill was seeing that and was like, okay, we're gonna limit Passy then

[Willie One Shelf]

for her, that's a good move to,

[Sherman]

like, kind of keep a distance. Distance from her in Passy. And that kind of got her back to, like, she's just kind of indifferent about the passing.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Now it's like, okay, I'll put it in my mouth if I find it on the ground.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. To my man, the Indiana national champion. That called in 24 with a 20 month old.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

You can limit in a lot of different ways. Like say you go on a car ride and you're just kind of trying. You're just trying to explain to them, we're not taking passy on the car ride or we're not taking passing. These certain situations. You can have your Passy. Because we would do all this stuff, try and do all this stuff with Rue to where she would only have her passy when she was sleeping. So nap time or bedtime, she would have Passy and we'd wean her off throughout the other windows of the day. And then eventually we did the whole tooth fairy or the whole Passy fairy thing when she turned three years old.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because she was still kind of rocking with the passy up until 3.

[Sherman]

And I know they have books similar to, like the wetting the bed situation that I talked about, where my. My parents read this book and it only took two nights. They had done everything under the sun. The little alarm systems that, like go off and all this stuff. And there's this book that they read. They only had to read it to me twice. And I stopped wetting the bed. And they get that book thing for passies. I know, dude. For me, that's what I'm saying.

[Willie One Shelf]

You know how many days it's been since I went to bed?

[Sherman]

You just told me too.

[Willie One Shelf]

Take a guess.

[Sherman]

Oh,

[Willie One Shelf]

eight.

[Sherman]

Eight days?

[Willie One Shelf]

Three. Oh, man.

[Sherman]

So it happened again.

[Willie One Shelf]

And I missed the bed over the weekend.

[Sherman]

I like to think there's just a chalkboard in your house. Will, with the. You erase it and put a big zero days since Will wet the bed.

[Willie One Shelf]

I needed to have that. I need to get that meme going.

[Sherman]

Gotta get it going.

[Willie One Shelf]

I pissed the bed over the weekend. Ugh. This Friday night. So Saturday, Saturday, woke up,

[Sherman]

I kind

[Willie One Shelf]

of went to bed. I kind of didn't say anything. But I'm upstairs because Rue's having a meltdown because she Peed the bed. And I'm trying to soothe Rue, and it's getting. I'm getting impatient, trying to soothe Rue. I'm like, dude, dead is up here. Like, dude, you want the bed? It's okay. I just went to bed. Like, it's all good.

[Sherman]

You're Bruce Willis and Die Hard. Just welcome to the party, pal.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because Charlie eventually, like, when we were making the bed, she's like, hey, did you pee the bed last. Last night? And I was like, yeah. It's like, when were you gonna say anything? I was like, I don't know. I was gonna try and wash the. I'm thinking in my head, I'm gonna try and wash the. Wash the sheets and covers.

[Sherman]

Char just making a coffee in the morning.

[Willie One Shelf]

She. She knew because we had the monitor on cuz r was screaming. So I just went ahead and turned off the monitor.

[Sherman]

You told. You told her out loud, hey, dad pissed the bed too. And she heard me on the mon

[Willie One Shelf]

monitor upstairs in Rue's room. Because she's like, I could tell you're getting impatient with her. And you're like, dude, it's okay. I pissed the bed just last night. I go downstairs and show you.

[Sherman]

Char is making her coffee. She's just in her little. She's in her little 90s. She's got her bathrobe, and it's. Hey, everyone, it's Cal Penn. I'm the host of earsay, the Audible, and I Heart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast, I am

[Sherman]

of Andy Weir's audiobook project, Hail Mary, Massive sci fi adventure about survival and

[Willie One Shelf]

science and what happens when you wake

[Sherman]

up alone, very far from Earth. I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections. And it's like, okay, yo, yo, yo. Is this indulgent? And I really thought about it.

[Willie One Shelf]

I was like, no. At this point, it would kind of

[Sherman]

be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it. But there's places in this book that. That deeply, emotionally affected me. And I left it on the mic. That's great, cuz it served the story.

[Willie One Shelf]

People will say like, oh, my God,

[Sherman]

I cried at the end. It's like, yeah, dude, me too. Listen to Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Sherman]

[Willie One Shelf]

nothing wrong pissing the bed.

[Sherman]

Ain't nothing wrong with it. Who told you that? Yeah, yeah. What the. Who said? I piss him back.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, but just. Just to clear the record at the. Eight days ago. Where'd you get that?

[Sherman]

When we were talking.

[Willie One Shelf]

I told you eight days ago.

[Sherman]

Well, we were just. You had called me up, hey, how are things going? You're like, I piss a bed, you know, blah, blah, blah.

[Willie One Shelf]

We're just like when we were catching up the other day on the phone.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, I told you, I'm doing a bit. Oh, got you. Well, I'm saying I'm not like a regular. Just to clear the record. I'm not a regular. Eight days ago. Three days ago.

[Sherman]

I just want to make. I just want to make it clear. I did not call Sherman and tell him I piss a bed eight days ago.

[Willie One Shelf]

Usually I wake up and catch myself if it's like on one side of my hip.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like in the middle of peeing.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

And that probably happens a couple times a year, but this one was. I slipped through and I wet the. The bed. You're like grown ass man. 36. Yeah.

[Sherman]

There's like, the people. It's like, hey, I'm not, you know, I'm not an alcoholic. I just socially drink. You socially pissed about? Yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

I was doing some research on it.

[Sherman]

Not a bad wetter.

[Willie One Shelf]

I've mild like, sleep apnea. And they say, like apnea people can be social bed wetters. That makes sense because something that doesn't, like, trigger your brain when it's happening. Yeah, because obviously, like, I. I went to bed frequently until about 14 years old, and then I was like, different spots. So like, on average, that average would be like twice a year, down to once a year in college

[Sherman]

as a captain of the Nebraska corn.

[Willie One Shelf]

Nebraska cornhouse. Yeah. And then maybe. Maybe there was a. Maybe there was a run where it was like once every other year.

[Sherman]

Your captain, who has not pissed the bed in eight months will come to. It was actually 12 months.

[Willie One Shelf]

I told him he messed up it up. Shout out the bedwetters in the chat, man.

[Sherman]

Shout out bed wers. Hey. And we need a good comment call out. We haven't had one in a bit. Maybe put down the last time you wet the bed in the comments.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, I would love to see if dad's out there.

[Sherman]

Who else is a social bed, bed wet.

[Willie One Shelf]

I'll be honest, this is one obviously, like, embarrassing thing to talk about about that I truly wonder in my head, are there any others out there?

[Sherman]

You need this community, dude. Pt Pisos. You need PT Piss.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like, in your. Like, do you guys know anybody?

[Sherman]

I mean, I'm.

[Willie One Shelf]

But knowing. Knowing myself, like, me, like, on this. Like, I'm trying to put it out in the world and wonder if there are others. Because I know in my. My head, being in this mental space, unless I was just like, if I didn't do this, like, I would never. People would know. Like, I wouldn't talk about it.

[Sherman]

And you'd be in your head about it.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, like, I would. This would be suppressed as low as you can possibly suppress something.

[Sherman]

But you're opening yourself up to an audience and you're basically saying, open invite. If you're a part of Papa Team piss, just put, Willie boy got your back. Papa team, 36 days clean. Papa team piss. There's no way you're the only one. But you are the one talking about it first, so more will come out. Piss team 6. Also, you are the same, but you are the one that's saying, hey, guys, look like there's no way the three of us don't know somebody's trailblazer. I'm a sleepwalking pisser. That's a long line of whitens that get drunk and sleepwalk and pee in corn. There you go. Not in the bed. I have. I. I don't know why we don't do that, but we sleepwalk and pee in corners. Hey, Derek, we probably have a common ancestor.

[Willie One Shelf]

I.

[Sherman]

If. If I am to speak on that. Loved. Yeah. Drunk Sherman in college. Good popcorn bowl. Always thought he was standing in front of a toilet. Yeah, yeah. What you got, Chef? I think last time, sophomore year of college, drunk, drunk.

[Willie One Shelf]

[Sherman]

It's been a while.

[Willie One Shelf]

Not like, drunk, blacked out. You're pissing the bed.

I'm from Columbia, Missouri. M I zou coach drink friend of the program. My wife and I are expecting our first child. We had a little bit of a journey to get to this point where we tried for over a year and a half and then finally got blocked. Bless us and said it was our time. This weekend. Surrounded by family and loved ones, I got to find out that I'm going to be a girl dad. I was already nervous for fatherhood, but now that I'm having a little girl, the nervousness doubled, but also the excitement tripled. I know I'm going to be an awesome girl dad and I'm super excited for all the adventures that are to come. I found this podcast right after we found out that we were pregnant and I started back from the the beginning so I could catch up and listen to all the stories. So it's been really awesome to See what girl dad life is all about. Having Sherman Willie One Shelf to listen to every Wednesday about their experiences is definitely going to help me through our first couple of good moments. My trash is out every week.

[Sherman]

Yeah, he did. But he was stoked when he saw

[Willie One Shelf]

we've all been there. He'll change. Change his mind.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

This one is from Anthony Barges Jr. Or Bargis. Hello, Willie. One shelf Sherminator. Deacon chef. My name is Coach Bargus. I coach high school football down here in East Texas. And I wanted to write into the show because this past Mother's Day was incredibly special for my wife and I. I'm the youngest grandchild on my dad's side, so growing up, I got to watch my older cousins build beautiful families. One of my favorite things was seeing my grandma be here, be there for it all. Birthdays, holidays, babies, my memories. She loved every second of being a grandma and great grandmother. I got married two years ago, and ever since then, we've basically been in Bud's training trying to have a baby. We weren't having much luck, so I finally made an appointment to get some tests done. At the beginning of this year, my grandma was placed on hospice. I was able to visit her a few times, but at the end of February, God brought her home. It was obviously heartbreaking for our family, but I truly believe she blessed us one last, last time. Right before the funeral, my wife told me she wasn't feeling well and that she was late. This had happened before. So we tried not to get our hopes up. On the way, we stopped at the store so we could grab a quick a pregnancy test. She went into the bathroom and when she walked out, she had this huge smile on her face. And I looked at her and said, stop playing with me. I rushed over to see the test for myself and sure enough, boys, it said pregnant. After two years of trying in the middle of grieving my grandma. God bless us with our first first baby. My wife has been an absolute champ through these first 14 weeks of pregnancy. And this mother Day. Mother's day was her very first one. I got her a nice mother's day gift, including the for the mom shirt attached photo. And we also did our gender reveal. Boys, I'm going to be a girl dad. And I also want to give a huge shout out to my wife. I truly cannot wait to watch her become a mom. She's the strongest woman I know. And our daughter is going to have the absolute best role model growing, growing up. Our little Aubrey. Aubrey. Ella. It's a beautiful name. Is due November 6th, which just so happens to be a Friday. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. During football season, I always make sure my daughter knows about her great grandma Vargas and the incredible woman that she was. Thank you all for everything you do. I love listening to the show every week and giving my wife a full synopsis of all the dad hack stories and chaos from the the episode PT Sicko. Hashtag girl dead. Love y'. All. Boys, the barges Victoria and Anthony. Awesome photo right here.

[Sherman]

Let's go.

[Willie One Shelf]

That's awesome.

[Sherman]

Oh, dude. The only thing that I wish that he had done is included what team he's coaching for.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, he'll get us right.

[Sherman]

Get us right, baby.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because whenever baby girl comes, I'm sure

[Sherman]

we'll get a squad photo if he's coaching down there. And Brenham, the buddy, East Texas. Oh, they put some teams together down there in Brenham. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Go get you one of these.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Okay.

[Sherman]

Come on.

[Willie One Shelf]

Can you touch it? Can you touch it?

[Sherman]

You can't touch that.

[Willie One Shelf]

Can you touch that? God damn it, dad.

[Sherman]

He throws it out the window. To the heartfelt evil. You can't.

[Willie One Shelf]

Damn it, dad. What is wrong with you? Tim McGraw walks out. He just sits on the. He sits on the hood of the car, gets his boots up on it.

[Sherman]

That's such a good movie.

[Willie One Shelf]

Such a good Sherman.

[Sherman]

Have you heard of Brownsboro? No. Is that where he's from? Brownsboro High school teacher slash coach. Oh, really? Brownsboro? They must be 3a. Like 2 or 3.3a. I could be wrong. I don't know if I've heard of Brownsboro. Maybe a smaller school Birds on my timeline call it Twitter. Outside Tyler, Texas. Oh, so he's like very east Texas dude. Good for him.

[Willie One Shelf]

Dude. My lesson of the week please. I have one and it, it was from. It's from the Daily Dad. Oh, came on. Let's see here. Came yesterday morning via email. I'm subscribed to the Daily dad via awesome shout out. All the shout outs to. To the Daily Dad. This one is titled you won't regret it. The work trip you canceled because you've been away too much. The meeting you skipped because you know you never should have agreed to it in the first place. The days you came in late because your kids needed a little bit more time at drop off. The weekend where you blew off household projects and just did something fun together. Do you think anyone has ever really regretted choosing family first? Maybe they missed out on some stuff here and there, but looking back on their life, do you think anyone even remembers? But we will remember that day that we blew off work, picked the kids up early and drove up to the mountains. We will remember that we went to the recital. We will remember that we got ice cream and walked around the park with so many demands on our time. It helps to zoom out to think about how you're going to think about this later. Remember what we're doing after the crowded table. A close relationship with our kids, a sense that we didn't waste this brief thing called their childhood. So decide accordingly now. You won't regret it. That comes from the Daily dad in their daily newsletter that chimes in. And again, it always gives you like a theme. Like this morning, it's 5:04 in the morning. There's another one called they need to hear it again. And there's just like a little, A little write up of each thing and what. What it means. Great, great subscription newsletter for the dads

[Sherman]

out there looking for one dude Daily dad rips. That's a great lesson of the week and one that I was really sad when I got. I got home late on my own volition. On my own volition. But I. Because I woke up early for driving up here and missing traffic and then I got home late. I never saw Scarlet.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

And it was a really good day yesterday. Yesterday.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

But I'm laying in bed and I'm

[Willie One Shelf]

like, yeah, I feel you, man.

[Sherman]

What am I doing? So I made sure this morning, like

[Willie One Shelf]

we did the we did the Madden ratings for EA Sports, and I had to leave it, like, one. I had to leave, like, halfway through because I had to hit a flight from LA.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

All the time change. Hit a flight at 3, land at 9pm Local in Nashville. Oh, my God. Cleaned it out. Yeah. I was like, I have to be back on Saturday night because Rue has a ballet recital. But we were sitting there, we were having lunch, kind of joking around, and the boys were talking about. Somebody said, oh, it sucks you have to leave. Like, oh, you should just. You should do X, Y and Z because you go and watch UFC in Vegas and do all the stuff in Vegas or the stuff missing out on Vegas. I was like, yeah, dude, I fucking hate that I have kids. I wish my daughter. I didn't have my daughter and go to a stupid ballet recital. But we were just sitting around there laughing, and I just think to myself, like, those are the moments that you're just like, yeah, it would be sick to do all of this stuff. Like, there's a part of me that has fomo.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

And I would love to do all the things that we get to do at all times. And I wish, like, yeah, I wish the ballet recital could be in the evening so that way I could hit a full Saturday. But just knowing that, like, yeah, this ballet recital, in the grand scheme of everything, means nothing on the macro. But I know to me and to Rue and to have the photos, the moments, the memories that having to get Scotty out of there because she's crying and. Yeah, it's. It would have been just Mom.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

You know what I mean?

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Those are the times where it's like, yeah, I'm going to look back and just know that you're making the right choices by choosing, like, family. Like, having the opportunities on weekends to be with your kiddos, to be with your children, to be with your wife, to do these things, even though there is the element of missing out and be like, oh, I need to chase this career ambition, or, I need to chase this event. Would be awesome to go to. To do these trips would be sick.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Stuff.

[Willie One Shelf]

But knowing that you're just going to be. You're going to go to a ballet recital and then spend four hours in the pool when you get home, like, you can't put a price tag on.

[Sherman]

No, you can't. You can't. And that feeling that I get when I'm sitting there going, I didn't even see her today. And then Jill, Instagram stories are Mother's Day pictures got in Last night via email. And so she starts storying them from the living room. I'm already in. In bed. And so that I started getting these notifications. I'm seeing pictures of Scarlet and she's already asleep. And that feeling, dude, I don't know how. And I know it sounds dramatic because I can only describe it as wanting to squeeze her, but. Yeah, because she's asleep. But you just. You see a picture of your little one, you're just. Why do I always just want to see and squeeze you when you're already asleep? I can't wake you up. And I got to see her this morning.

[Willie One Shelf]

Give her all that love. Give her a billion kisses.

[Sherman]

Five billion.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because again, like the age that Scarlet's at, you break it down. She's only going to be 10 months for four weeks of her life. And they develop so much at that young age.

[Sherman]

She's a year in July. Dude, you want to talk about. And we talked about earlier. This is episode 50. That's crazy.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, A couple weeks.

[Sherman]

It's going to be our year anniversary. Yeah, episode 52. And that's nuts. Dude, I was so green. Not saying that I'm a champion dad by any means. No, I was scared shitless. I still am, but, like, those first few episodes, dude, I had no idea. No idea. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's been fun, man.

[Sherman]

It's been fun.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's good. So good.

[Sherman]

Set.

[Willie One Shelf]

Take out your trash. We love you. We appreciate you. We will see you next, next week and on social media for the dead spot. Go ahead, shameless.

When Kohler, global design leader in luxurious kitchen and bath products, asked me to be their ambassador for timeless, elegant, durable cast iron, I said, I'm in. Soon after, I was in their Kohler, Wisconsin foundry, watching molten iron poured enamel applied by hand, and the beautiful finished pieces ready to ship. Since 1883, Kohler cast iron has been crafted by incredible artisans. And seeing it firsthand gave me a whole new appreciation for their craftsmanship. Now I am proud to lend my stamp of approval to my favorite Kohler cast iron products for their durability, beauty and enduring style.
