Will Compton
Welcome to for the Dads. This is a show by a dad, by a soon to be future dad. Yeah, future dad for the dads. I guess we should start by introducing ourselves before we do. As you guys are watching this, listening to this, consuming this, I know at some point we will have a separate channel where we whether that be on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Pods, wherever you get your podcast, be on the lookout for that. I know you guys are listening to this on Bustin with the Boys right now but if you're showing up to tune in for some good dad talk, make sure you subscribe. That helps support the boys. It's easy for you to do and we love also leave comments because we will absolutely love hearing your guys feedback as we go through this first episode. My name is Will Compton. I played guaranteed nine years in the league, debatably ten. I am the co creator of Busting with the Boys. I am a full time dad. I am a husband and my wife Charo. Charo Compton. Sorry your boy is super nervous for this. This is a project that is very near and dear to both mine and Sherm's heart. It's something that I know we are super excited about but at the same time with this being our first episode we're kind of in a different studio. Lights are off. The this being our first one it's very nerve wracking but my wife and I we have two beautiful daughters, Cerulean Bell and Scotty Jolie. And with me who is the producer of the show, he will also be very pivotal for the show is Sherman Young. Sherman, would you like to introduce yourself?
- [02:36]
Sherman Young
Hello, my name is Sherman, producer here at Busin with the Boys. I'll be producing on the show. Talking a little bit with Will. I help produce on the bus as well. Do some edits in the back of the bus with the boys. And it's been like two, almost two years now that been with busing with the boys.
- [02:54]
Will Compton
You guys, you brought you in. Jilly Bean. Shout out. Jilly Bean.
- [02:58]
Sherman Young
Shout out. Oh, yeah, a little bit about me. Played one year of high school football. Arguably two married for a year. And some change to my wife, Jilly Bean or Jill Young. Um, and future, future dad. Have a baby on the way. And I have some news on that, so I don't want to, like, spoil it, but I got some.
- [03:21]
Will Compton
You got some updates.
- [03:22]
Sherman Young
I got some breaking updates.
- [03:23]
Will Compton
But you guys came up from Texas.
- [03:25]
Sherman Young
Came up from Texas, from Fort Worth. Alito, to be more specific, if you're from the df, DFW area. And yeah, just kind of was sending memes and stuff on Twitter to Will and Taylor and barraging. We have Garrett here too. That's helping us with the cameras. Was in Garrett's dms. Everybody's dms, just bussing. Please hire me. I've been in, like, film production for quite a while and then commercial production as well. Did some directing and producing and we'll get into that.
- [03:58]
Will Compton
Yeah, you have a badass creative mind and you crush it with busting with the boys. You're gonna crush them for the dads. I feel like you. You, Your. Your positive energy that I feel like people have gotten glimpses of. I'm very excited for you to kind of co host this show with me.
- [04:12]
Sherman Young
I'm excited too. I just to talk nerves as well. Logan.
- [04:17]
Will Compton
Both nerves. Both guys nervous.
- [04:19]
Sherman Young
Both nervous. Logan, who's a third party guy that helps a ton with busting with the boys. He kept on popping his head in before we hit the record button. Was like, hey, last bit of, you know, know, just some advice before y' all start rolling. And he asked you if you were more nervous like first time with busting with the boys or first time with this? And you said you were more nervous for busing with the boys.
- [04:42]
Will Compton
Yeah, I feel like before the show I was more nervous for busing with the boys because that was. It was a very brand new project. It was the first thing I've ever stepped out and done anything else in other than football. But now that I'm sitting here talking on this show for the first time. I'm thinking the nerves might be a little bit higher for 4 the dads. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just because, again, bro, like, we're. We're very excited about standing up the show, talking dad life, and we will get into that. I know we're kind of rambling along right now. Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, it's just. It's sick. It's. It's cool that we have, you know, we started with the vision. We've had a shit ton of help, like, shout out the boy Garrett. Shout out Logan. Shout out. Yeah, shout out the whole team behind the scenes, like, standing this brand up. We have merchandise. It's really cool. And I feel like. I feel like there's a space for more, like, dad conversations. I always enjoy, you know, listening to dad podcasts. I enj consuming content. And we can get into, like, why does this podcast exist? And essentially, for me, it's spoiler alert. I'm really into fatherhood. I love it. I hate it at times. I think there's a lot of suck that goes into it because there's a lot of intention you have to put into it, and that is difficult to do when you are trying to balance, you know, running the business of bus with the boys, like work life balance, you know, thinking about your marriage, not losing yourself so much in your marriage because you're so focused on the kids, also trying to focus on communicating with the kids. Like, I grew up in a household to where it was three boys. And my mom was very, you know, strong willed and tough. And I grew up around a lot, around a lot of boy energy, football kid growing up, all the sports, all the things. And when you have your wife who is a, you know, former cheerleader, she now operates the Bar 3. She owns the Bar 3 studios here in Nashville. Shout out, Shout out. My dog. My beautiful dog. Waffle. Our English bulldog, female. Two little girls, Rue. She is absolutely obsessed with princesses right now. And you also thinking about outside of the work life, balance, communicating and being involved, being intentional with your marriage. You're also thinking about how you communicate with two little girls where you have, like, no experience to do so. I find myself gravitating a lot towards. I've always been a podcast guy, but listen to podcast conversations, diving into books, whether it's for sleep training, whether it's the daily dad, I find myself just gravitating towards a lot of dad content. And I feel like when I hear dads or people speak on parenthood, whether it's moms, dads, anybody. I find myself, you know, able to kind of grab a lot of perspective for my own situations. To where you're sitting in the truck and you're like, yes, you go through that shit too, and you got. You go home and you kind of tell your wife, hey, you know, buddy over here, he was doing this, or, hey, this couple did this, or here's a little wrinkle that we could be dealing with. Ru. You know, my whole Instagram algorithm, I feel like, is all parenthood. And I've always been being in the content, being in the media space. It's. You want to create things that you're a consumer of. And I'm a massive consumer of parenthood. I'm a massive consumer of fatherhood. And I feel like that's why I had a big itch and I felt a big pull to stand up a show like this.
- [07:47]
Sherman Young
You to echo going off what you're saying. With my tweet that I put out when we did, like, launch the trailer, I typed that tweet out 500 times because I was trying to evoke, like, how passionate you are about this subject. And every single time I wrote it down, I was like, God, I can't put it into words. But when I first started busing and you would ask me to, like, connect and go to coffee with you, it would. Initially, it was about, like, busing and how's moving, you know, across the nation, blah, blah, blah. But our conversation would always land on, hey, are you and Jill thinking about kids? And we would just like, hey, you're.
- [08:27]
Will Compton
You're really. When you're posting these photos of Rue, you're really getting. You're really getting. Jilly being in the fever right now. I'm gonna have to get you to slow down, bro.
- [08:35]
Sherman Young
Rue is way too cute. And Jill is, like, truly was struck with baby fever from Rue. And that was a massive problem that I was facing. And in myself being like, I feel like I'm inadequate. I don't feel like I'm there financially. I don't feel like I'm there. Maybe, like, maturity wise, am I ready to be a dad? Like, I'm gonna have to be a. My life is over. And now it's all about this other thing. Yeah, this other human. But seeing the way that you and Taylor balance work and family, I was like, I can have a career, I can have friends, I could be passionate about my career, but also be a great dad. And that's what made me really Want to pick your brain and those coffees of like, hey, like, how is it? Blah, blah, blah. But the way that you lock in when you talk about being a dad, it's like you're breaking down. Being in the A gap like you did, you really do. Like, you break it down like it's film. When you come back from like a great conversation with Charo or some life lesson that you learn with Rue. Hearing you talk about it with just people in the office, that's what made me believe in the show. I was like, dude, he does this every day already.
- [09:44]
Will Compton
Because you realize too, it's like we're all gonna fuck it up often. Over easy with the coaster. We're all gonna fuck it up often and nobody has it figured out. And there's no perfect formula and there's times where you're like in, in the whole parenthood conversations and you feel like there's like a perfect way you have to come off, like you're doing it right. Or maybe, you know, I know people deal with how much screen time should they have. When are you getting your kids down to sleep? Like, you know, you might feel like your child is sleeping well and you might know a friend that has a child the same exact age and they're not getting a lot of sleep at night. And you just, you feel like whether it's guilt or shame, you just, there's so many emotions and you just realize we're all trying to figure it out. I feel like that's, that's what the show is. Sharing experience together, it up together, figuring it out together and just showing up the next day. Because that is, that is like parent parenthood in a nutshell.
- [10:36]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [10:36]
Will Compton
Because there's going to be, there's just going to be all that chaos. There's a lot of fun, there's a lot of chaos. It's like I can get into our whole entire Rosemary trip last week because it was, you know, you got a three year old, now you have a six month old, you're packing the car, you're doing all this stuff, you have an eight hour drive. Like, it is chaos at times, bro.
- [10:53]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [10:54]
Will Compton
For just little moments of when you're sitting on the beach and you're just like. And you finally have a calm moment and you're like, this is why you do it. And then you just, the. That night when you're trying to put them to bed, you're trying to do bedtime, you're trying to feed him, you're trying to do all the things can I watch. Can I watch Little Bear? Can I do this? Hey, we got to go to bed. And then it's chaos again until the next day. Until you get to that next moment to where you're like, ah, this is. This is it right here. This is the life.
- [11:16]
Sherman Young
Oh, yeah. And we could segue into actually. So how the show will operate is we'll have an intro like this.
- [11:23]
Will Compton
Yes.
- [11:24]
Sherman Young
And then we have like four to five segments that will kind of cycle through each week.
- [11:28]
Will Compton
Yep.
- [11:29]
Sherman Young
It'll never be permanent of like, which ones, but we wanted to give you all, like a little taste, a little flavor of some of our segments. And to start out, great segue. Motherfucked.

- [13:10]
Sherman Young
First segment.
- [13:11]
Will Compton
Yes, yes, yes, motherfucker. And just to again, what's the little. What's it, what's the little. The caption thing at the bottom, the warning sign at the bottom. It's like this is in no way, shape or form a podcast for expert advice on parenting. Yeah, there's you're an expecting father, you're about to be in it. Is the camera good?
- [13:31]
Sherman Young
Yeah, yeah. I was putting a banner, you're about.
- [13:33]
Will Compton
To be in it. But at the end of the day it's like I have a 3 year old and a 6 month old. Like I don't know what it's like to have a four year old. I don't know what it's like to have a teenager. I don't know what it's like to have an adult child. There's a lot that we still have to learn and figure out. But that's, that's what this, that's what the show is here is for, is to kind of deliver our own experiences in a very unpolished way and also give a voice for the dads who carry their own mental load.
- [13:56]
Sherman Young
We need it and we need it in the comments. That was some of my favorite comments with the launch trailer was like, boys, we need this.
- [14:03]
Will Compton
Yeah, yeah.
- [14:04]
Sherman Young
The third party boys, we've needed this.
- [14:06]
Will Compton
The dads need it. Yeah, bro. Hell yeah. Dad lives matter to the dad. Lives matter too.
- [14:12]
Sherman Young
Come on.
- [14:13]
Will Compton
But yeah, we're going to share stories, maybe build around a topic of the week, build a community around, call ins stories via email, engaging on social medias, talk about our dad wins and losses, balancing life, vulnerable shit. We'll be laughing a lot, things that we can crack a cold Bud Light to and just, just having a good time. And at the end of every episode we will close out with a quote, a mantra or a lesson that we feel like we've enjoyed recently and every now and then. This isn't going to be a show to where it's interview based and we're going to bring on dads every week similar to what you guys recognize with busting with the boys. That'll happen at times when the time is right. Maybe it's bonus content.
- [14:49]
Sherman Young
Come on.
- [14:50]
Will Compton
But we really want this to kind of build community with the dads out there, share our stories and engage with, with, with everybody online.
- [14:58]
Sherman Young
Are you gonna kick off, dude?
- [15:01]
Will Compton
So is a segment where it's essentially your dad losses, whether it's your wife giving you a stern talking to about something you might have done wrong or something you fell short for or whether it's those moments to where the words that come out of her mouth is you always do X. And I just think in my mind I don't always do that. I just fell short this one time. But look at the growth I've had. You know, I'll pull back years, I'll pull back, you know, remember you know, remember when we had the townhouse? That was terrible.
- [15:32]
Sherman Young
Yeah, yeah.
- [15:33]
Will Compton
You get the report card out, you get the scoreboard. When you get in the score, that's when it more so goes downhill. You realize, like, marriage and parenthood is all about communication.
- [15:41]
Sherman Young
Yes.
- [15:42]
Will Compton
But getting in our motherfuck segment, if I, if I explain my first real dad loss, I'm sure there were others, but one that stands out is Rue was around, I'd say 8 to 10 months old, she was crawling. And we were upstairs for our little morning routine. We got the little birds playing on the sound machine. We're getting her ready for the day, and she's crawling around and it's one of those things where I'm like giving her the faces and I'm crawling after her like I'm chasing her. And she's starting to get it a little bit, but she starts crawling for the door. And I'm thinking she's gonna go to the door, turn around and come back like she always does.
- [16:21]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [16:22]
Will Compton
And so I'm kind of waiting on the carpet because it's hardwood floor. Like, I'm on my hands and knees, you know, the knees got a little bit of damage from the old playing days. So I'm remaining on the carpet 10 years. She starts to leave the doorway crawling. And so I'm like, oh, you know, you think they're a lot smarter than they are at that age. But I'm like, oh, she's hiding from Dada and I. So I start crawling like, I'm going to get you. And I go outside of her door and her, her room is on the second floor, right outside. Sits right at the top of a flight of stairs.
- [16:52]
Sherman Young
Big flight of stairs. Is it the house that you're currently in?
- [16:55]
Will Compton
Yes.
- [16:55]
Sherman Young
Big flight of stairs.
- [16:56]
Will Compton
Yeah, you guys are there shooting that trailer. Big flight of stairs. So she goes around this doorway and I'm like, oh, is going to get you. And I go around like, okay, I need to pick it up because I need to get my eyes on her. And I get around and I'm still on my hands and knees and she's about to step off. She's about to crawl off the top flight of stairs. And in my head I'm like, surely she sees that this is not good. And so I started standing up. She's like 8 to 10 months old, bro, she wasn't walking yet. She was crawling. So probably around that 10 month mark.
- [17:23]
Sherman Young
Yeah, yeah.
- [17:24]
Will Compton
And I see her start to go. And so I stand up and bro, she just starts down the Stairs. I'm like, chasing her down the stairs. Like, looking down like I'm in a war movie. Running side next or trying to get to where I feel comfortable enough reaching down to get her up. By the time I grab her, she's three fourths of the way down that flight of stairs to where you, you know, she had some thoughts. Like, red Mark, she's crying. My wife was in the room with us, and we're standing down there, and I'm just rocking. I'm. Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. I thought I killed her. And I'm just thinking in my head, like, surely millions of babies fall all the time. Like, we always talk about joke with your boys. Oh, you must have got dropped on your head when you were younger. This is just one of those moments. This is just one of these moments.
- [18:02]
Sherman Young
What was the initial like, as you. As soon as you pick her up, like, what was the very first thing you checked or very first thing you said?
- [18:07]
Will Compton
Nothing. I'm hugging her. Sweetheart, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Dead is so sorry. I'm right here. I'm right here. She's crying. Like, it's. Yeah, you're not a tantrum, but she's, like, screaming, crying because she's clearly hurt. But, yeah, like lumps. That was, like, raising from her head and, like, three different spots on her head. But that was probably my first big dad loss. And, you know, I didn't get cursed out. But it's one of those where you're standing around mom like, this was on your watch.
- [18:30]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [18:31]
Will Compton
You know what I mean? That's when I felt really low as, like, damn, this was all my fault.
- [18:37]
Sherman Young
Is Charo the kind of energy where when she's quiet, it's even worse. Like, if you don't get that tongue lashing. It's almost like the feeling of remorse.
- [18:47]
Will Compton
Of like or of no, because she'll let me know. With Charo, what we'll talk about in our. In our couples therapy is more of I can't take it. When it gets to the moment that she is overwhelmed and annoyed by something that either I had done or something that's going on to where she just starts, like, picking up the house, hey, what do you want to do with this? And it's Sunday night, I'm just thinking, do we got to do this right now? We just got the kids down. Like, can't we just sit down and relax?
- [19:09]
Sherman Young
That's me.
- [19:10]
Will Compton
Oh, you haven't. You haven't. I've told you about These boxes for. For months. I'm just thinking about. Don't mention the damn boxes. Right now, I just want to watch a TV show because you're, like, taking a load off. But it's more of like, those moments is where she's kind of like, letting me know. Yeah. But in that moment, it's like, we both know what happened.
- [19:28]
Sherman Young
Yes.
- [19:29]
Will Compton
I obviously feel terrible, so I wasn't like, cursed. It wasn't anything like that. You just feel like that that was my first big dad loss of fatherhood.
- [19:38]
Sherman Young
When she probably didn't want to, like, put all the blame on you in the moment because then that's something that's like going to live with you for, you know, however long. Yeah, she handled it. Sounded like she handled it really nice.
- [19:50]
Will Compton
Yeah, it's like, if, you know, I can't think of an example where she's, like, messed up or if I hear her yell, like, when it gets to a point to where you're trying to commute. I mean, these are little terrorists you're.
- [20:01]
Sherman Young
Trying to communicate with.
- [20:03]
Will Compton
Very irrational. They're trying to handle their big emotions. Rue is very determined and independent. So she has, like, that she knows what she wants. And if she can't do it on her own, she gets extremely upset with herself or just extremely upset about it. Can't get figured out. And, you know, you get those moments where you. You kind of. You lose yourself and you just yell back because you're. You're just on a breaking point. You're trying to be as patient as possible, and you're just on a breaking point to where you're just like, I don't know what you want. And when I hear her yell, I'm like, all right, Dad, I need to go upstairs. I need to try to get the situation calm down. And you're not trying to load on the fact, hey, you know, you shouldn't be yelling at her because it's like, we already know what's happening. Yeah. You're not trying to cause more pain and blame somebody. But it's more like that's. That's kind of how our conversations will go. Like, if we have a low moment and it's like, hey, you forgot this. I literally told you so many times, like, you forgot this, and here's why. And it's probably because you were on your phone.
- [20:59]
Sherman Young
Quick, quick thing that you just remind me of during that story of, like, the patience that you've built up. One thing I've noticed about myself of like a soon to be dad is whenever I'm around dads and their kids are there, too. I. I just kind of pick up on things. Like, I'm looking for things, like little learns and tidbits, whatever. Jeremy that's here in our office has two boys here and an older daughter, but his two boys are in the office all the time. And whenever he's Talking to me, J.J. will be in the distance. Dad, dad, Sherman. Dad, dad, Sherman. And Jeremy's just locked in, talking like this. Nothing's going on. If I then, like, answer back to him and JJ's. Sherman, Sherman. I have to.
- [21:45]
Will Compton
Yeah.
- [21:45]
Sherman Young
What's up, buddy? When we were at breakfast the other morning, and Rue was doing the same thing to you, and we were, like, having a serious conversation about this podcast, you're just locked in, and you're looking at me, and you're talking to me, and Rue's like, I don't want syrup on my French toast. And you're like, okay, honey. And you're still, like, eye contact. Yeah, dude. I looked away a million times. I could tell that even you were like, man, Sherman kind of folds the roo pretty quick.
- [22:10]
Will Compton
Like, dude, it's so funny that you bring that up, because I'm sitting there in my mind, like, Sherman stopped talking. Talking to her. Yeah, like, stop engaging.
- [22:18]
Sherman Young
I could tell that you're.
- [22:19]
Will Compton
Because whenever we get to a break, whenever we get to a moment of a break, it's gonna be a, hey, sweetheart. You know, dead ass talking. Like, let's have you. Let's exercise a little bit of patience. But I'm thinking, Sherm, stop looking over and engaging with her and putting her stickers on the little sticker book.
- [22:33]
Sherman Young
Sherman, where's the elephant go? And I'm like, oh, right here would be great. And you're. You wouldn't move. You would just stay locked in. Like, once you're done with that sticker, come back, let's talk.
- [22:42]
Will Compton
Do you. Obviously you don't have one yet, but with Jill, what are you guys expecting?
- [22:49]
Sherman Young
Okay, well, can we dive in? We can dive in, but I was going to save it for the. What are the odds?
- [22:56]
Will Compton
Okay. All right. We can save it.
- [22:57]
Sherman Young
Okay.
- [22:58]
Will Compton
But I was going to say.
- [22:58]
Sherman Young
I do have.
- [22:59]
Will Compton
The question was going to be. Yeah, like, you and your journey of pregnancy right now. Yeah. Obviously, hormones are flowing. Your wife works. She works a lot. She's in the. What does your wife do?
- [23:10]
Sherman Young

- [26:27]
Will Compton
And.
- [26:28]
Sherman Young
We'Re looking at daycares. We're kind of new to the scene. I've been texting you a little bit about it, but tough world, tough world, dude.
- [26:35]
Will Compton
Gotta plan ahead of time.
- [26:36]
Sherman Young
Expensive as fuck, dude.
- [26:39]
Will Compton
Yes.
- [26:40]
Sherman Young
The best deal that we have now, like the one that we decided on, it's twice a week and it's $800 a month. It's crazy. But you go in, dude, these daycares, when you walk into them, it's like a cute zoo. It's like a zoo, but of just cuteness, dude. And they have them like, it's almost like they have them fully trained when you walk in to like look out the classroom window and be like.
- [27:05]
Will Compton
And wait.
- [27:05]
Sherman Young
So you're waving all these like little 2 something, 3 something year olds and you're like, oh my God, they're so cute. Like that's what mine's gonna be like. It's gonna have good table manners and yada yada. That whole experience was phenomenal. I love daycare shopping and I selfishly am not going to shout out the daycare that we chose because I'm on a Wait list and I'm trying to get in that mug.
- [27:27]
Will Compton
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [27:27]
Sherman Young
I'm not. Yes, yeah, yeah. So I'm not going to name it specifically, but once we're in there I will gladly shout them out. But yeah. The motherfuck situation was essentially I should have woken up at 6:30 and started getting breakfast going because my girl is wanting to look pretty. She's wanting to take her time in the shower, she wants to pick out her outfit, she wants to have her makeup all done so she looks like a really good future mommy and she wants her husband to do the same. So it's like we are normal humans. You should totally let us have our kid be in your daycare. Because we were going to multiple daycares that day. Slept in like till the last second.
- [28:05]
Will Compton
That germs Achilles heel right there. That alone. This dude could have a tornado siren going off in his room and he won't wake up.
- [28:13]
Sherman Young
Jill is literally going like this right now. She's listening. Thank you, Will. She allegedly, allegedly shook me. Like she's trying to get me up. But I gave her the. Once I was awake, I was looking at my phone and I gave her the. Honey, hey, just one second. I'm watching this last thing and I promise you I have my outfit picked out. We're all good. We weren't all good. We, we were late headed out of the house. And for any guy out there that has kids, any dads right now or future dads with a pregnant wife, you cannot miss breakfast because that stomach starts hurting and she just turned into the angriest mama bear she has ever been. And I got a tongue lashing on the way to the daycares about I'm not responsible. And just like the. You always do this. Hers is you never do that. So she was saying it's always the permanent words.
- [29:07]
Will Compton
Always, never, never.
- [29:09]
Sherman Young
She said, you have done nothing in the preparation of our daughter on, on the way to, on the way to the daycare. Which in my head that is not true. Did it sting? Yeah, it stung but I swallowed it because I've learned like you got to take.
- [29:28]
Will Compton
You listen, this is your mental load. It's starting to stack up.
- [29:31]
Sherman Young
You gotta take the hits. You gotta take the hits and I'm taking it.
- [29:34]
Will Compton
You're in the A gap right now.
- [29:35]
Sherman Young
Oh yeah, dude. I'm like death gripping the wheel and I'm driving down. Was it 440G that heads west. I'm heading down 440 West. And I'm just locked in, dude. And She's. I'm getting it so bad. And I'm like, I just. I gotta let her have her moment and get this out. But I did make the mistake of I said, hey, honey, and she stopped. And I go, I want you to know I'm listening to you right now. And I think about 85 of what you're saying are really good points, but you don't have to yell at me right now. We can just talk. And she. That sparked it a bit more, which I, you know, which is hilarious.
- [30:15]
Will Compton
I'm thinking, hey, that's a nice little. Yes, it's a nice little point of.
- [30:20]
Sherman Young
Trying to defuse it. But we. We get to the. We get to the parking lot.
- [30:25]
Will Compton
Been trying to figure out, oh, I thought that was pretty good.
- [30:29]
Sherman Young
Were you on game?
- [30:30]
Will Compton
Yeah, I thought, yeah. I was like, oh, he kind of put me on some game.
- [30:33]
Sherman Young
You put me on game. So I'll take. That's a compliment. But we get to the parking lot, and long story short, she's wiping her makeup, cleans her makeup off. And we did a really good job of acting like we have. We have never fought a day in our lives, and we're the happiest couple ever. And look at our little bundle of joy that's coming. And I had a great line. She loves scary movies. She loves the movie theater. So we had talked, obviously, after the daycare, we worked things out and she apologized. But at the movies, when she was all happy with her popcorn, I said, said, hey, I do just want to apologize. I am a really bad husband. I don't think I've done anything to prepare for Scarlett. And she picked up some. Some popcorn and tossed it at me. And she was like, if that's my only blow up on you as a pregnant woman, like, consider yourself lucky. I was like, all right, I'll take it.
- [31:22]
Will Compton
Yeah.
- [31:23]
Sherman Young
So we're all good.
- [31:24]
Will Compton
Out of the fire.
- [31:24]
Sherman Young
We're out of the fire.
- [31:25]
Will Compton
You got out of the fire.
- [31:27]
Sherman Young
Yeah. We can segue to crack a cold one.
- [31:31]
Will Compton
Yeah, let's talk about. Let's talk about a positive. Let's talk. Talk about something that we would crack a cold one to. Mine is going to be Pizza Friday. I think having a weekly ritual with the fam is. Is important. It's something that we started early because in our. In. In the world, the world moves fast, man. You talk to any dad, you talk to anybody. The generation before you, the consensus is always the phrase it goes by fast. Enjoy it.
- [32:00]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [32:00]
Will Compton
And I think for me, in. In a world where everything Moves fast with appointments, work, meetings, phone calls, again, marriage. You're trying to juggle a lot of the chaos going on. Pizza Friday is something that, that we've leaned on to where, hey, this is where we kind of show up as a family. You know, I know like dads, in our minds at times we think we have to show up for something big to matter, whether we're fixing something, whether we're providing, whether we're saving the day. And you. You begin to realize that parenthood and being intentional is about, like showing up in those small consistencies.
- [32:38]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [32:38]
Will Compton
And Pizza Friday is one of those for us. Because I know growing up for me, a lot of my fondest memories are being in the backyard for barbecues. My dad loved throwing. Throwing meat on the grill. My mom loved making sides. We loved having friends over. And I just vividly and have. Those are some of my best memories. And it's something that I remember anytime that I'm grilling or at a grill out or a cookout, whatever the case is, it's like subconsciously in my mind. I'm always. I'm always thinking back to when we had these family barbecues, because we would have them often, at least, like, you know, when it's summertime, you're having them a couple times a month and.
- [33:14]
Sherman Young
And all the brothers are out there, right?
- [33:16]
Will Compton
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so for us, like, for Pizza Fridays, I always take Rue. She gets in the car with dad that we order from our favorite spot. And I will shout out the local. The local spot. Home Team Pizza. We put in an order for Home Team Pizza. I take Roux. It's kind of our time to spend together to where we go. We go inside, she talks to everybody. We get the pizza, we bring it home. I let Rue carry the little. Whether it's a little bag of buckeyes, Shout out, hey, you guys got fire. Shout out to Buckeye. Whether it's the little bag of buckeyes or the small box of, like, their little breadstick bites rule. Carry the small one in. And every time she walks in the door, mama, we're home. It's Pizza Friday, and we enjoy whatever the movie it is. So it's like when my kids get older, you know, they won't always remember the toys or the lectures that their old man gave them, because I'll probably giving. Probably be giving a lot of lectures, but I want them to remember the times that they spent together as a family. To where my daughters got in the car with dad. They drove to go pick up Pizza. And we brought home the smell of pizza, and we shared laughs, whether it's tears, whatever it was, we enjoyed a movie together as a family. And that's how we show up each week as a family. We're not always consistent to where we hit it every Friday, but every Friday that we're home, every. Any Friday that we might be on the road together at a vacation together. Pizza Fridays is a staple for, like, a. A weekly ritual for the family. So that's kind of my crack. A cold one, too. That's kind of like my. One of the staples in our family.
- [34:52]
Sherman Young
If it feels consistent as hell, like, seeing it on social media just as a, like, third party outside of it, it seems like y' all are doing it every Friday. And I love the idea of, like, traditions, too, of y' all kind of creating traditions.
- [35:08]
Will Compton
You. And you'll know, too. It's, like, consistency and routine is big for kids. Knowing, like, hey, guess what today is? And, you know, it might be Monday and it's gymnastics day, or Wednesday, and it's. It's swim day for Rue, but anytime you're just like, hey, guess what day it is? She's just always like, pizza Friday. It's like, okay, no, that's. That's after two more sleeps. But they know when it's Friday. It is Pizza Friday.
- [35:30]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [35:30]
Will Compton
So that's my crack.
- [35:32]
Sherman Young
A cold one.
- [35:33]
Will Compton
That's my crack of cold one.
- [35:34]
Sherman Young
I actually. I wasn't gonna do a crack a cold one, but I do have a crack a cold one for you and.
- [35:40]
Will Compton
Give him the ice.
- [35:45]
Sherman Young
Ooh.
- [35:46]
Will Compton
Yeah. So you don't have one. You don't have one first episode. You don't have one this week.
- [35:51]
Sherman Young
I didn't. Well, I. I, like, had one that I was going to finagle.
- [35:54]
Will Compton
Yeah.
- [35:54]
Sherman Young
But to go off of. I'll crack a cold one to you because you did an incredible job. You wore Charo with Rue when we were over to film that trailer of when RU1 to teach me how she tells the world good morning. And that might have been a top five cutest thing I've ever seen in my life of her picking up a footstool, moving it to the window, throwing open the curtains like a Disney character. And she just. Good morning, world. So loud and so confident. And I love that. Chara was like, we haven't done that in a minute with Rue. Or maybe you said that. I can't remember. But, yeah, you did it enough to where it's in there.
- [36:37]
Will Compton
Yeah. It's like when they're little and they're starting to figure things out and you're trying to, like, keep them in a routine of how morning works. Like, well, the sound machine. And when she wakes up, we'll turn it to the birds chirping just to like, get her psyche in the mindset of like, hey, we're in. We're doing the morning routine. So you pick her up out of the crib when she couldn't walk and you just be like, hi, world, and do all these things. So that way they know that you're starting to like. You're starting to like, manufacture this hard wiring of how each day works. But yeah, it had been a minute since I'd seen her do the whole good morning world, but I knew she wanted to show you her room.
- [37:08]
Sherman Young
Dude, that was unreal.
- [37:10]
Will Compton
She's want to give you an entire tour of the house as hey, sort. We got a film. We got to film a trailer. If you're going to be a part of this, we'll give you a role.
- [37:16]
Sherman Young
Yeah, we gave her the director role.
- [37:18]
Will Compton
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, say action. And you got to stay quiet because she's wanting to play the whole time. She want to play hide and seek. You guys are there. She thinks everybody's there for her.
- [37:26]
Sherman Young
She loved. Hey, shout out Uncle Brad. By the way, apologies we didn't shout you out before. That was the dad in the launch trailer, one of Will's good friends. But shout out Uncle Brad, do you want to let them know what crack a cold one is? Brought to us by.
- [37:40]
Will Compton
Yes. Oh, I would love to. Great segue. We do have some. We do have some sponsors on the episode on the show already. This episode is brought to us by Bud Light. Bud Light is the is the official beer sponsor of the NFL. The NFL draft tight end, you and Bud Light partner George Kittle. The UFC and Shane Gillis tour in 2025.

Should I knock out? Should I hit both of these ad reads? Is like a middle of the break show.
- [38:30]
Sherman Young
You know, I like that idea. Especially if our sponsors aren't attached to the segments just yet that we go ahead and knock out the next sponsor. But you had a good idea of kicking it to the audience in the comments for them to let us know.
- [38:44]
Will Compton
Yeah. Whether you'd like it earlier in the show. Middle of the show, kind of broken up the way we do busting with the boys. But our second one, it's a horny one, it is Row for the Dads is sponsored by row. You might be thinking to yourself, hey, you got it was a long night putting the kids down. You got to get up early in the morning. You only have a little bit of wiggle room to have some time with the wife and you need to get the old boy going downstairs below the belt. You need to get him awake, you need to get him going fast. And Rose Sparks are a 2 in 1 prescription treatment for guys who need a secret weapon against softness.

For the dads out there listening right now or even the moms that might be tuning in, they just want to put their. Their hub, their hubby on game.
- [41:01]
Sherman Young
Dude, honestly, a little bruja ad read, a little lovey dovey ad read. Like there's. I don't think there's anything more for the dads.
- [41:09]
Will Compton
Yeah, truly. I'm with you. I'm with you. I know. We got a little product recommendation.
- [41:14]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [41:15]
Will Compton
Little survival kit action. What? Guys need the survival kit. We got dad hacks.
- [41:19]
Sherman Young
We got dad hacks. We got survival kit. We do just time wise. I don't know if we want to skip over those and tell the audience a little bit about the call in feature because I feel like that's gonna. Maybe we. They have to come in next week to see how survival kit and dad hacks works.
- [41:37]
Will Compton
Yes. So for the dads out there listening right now, for everybody watching this show, the way that we're gonna involve you guys is we have a hotline number. It is 601 the dads. 601 the dads. You will call in, you will leave a voicemail and it can be about something you crack a cold one to. Maybe a big dad loss, maybe a time you got motherfucked by your daughter, by your son, by your wife, or maybe you were motherfucking yourself and you're feeling in the dumps and you need to get something off your chest. You can remain anonymous if you would like. You don't have to say your name. You can just call in. We would love to play a voicemail each and every week for the dads out there wanting to vent about something, having a recommendation. Maybe you have a dad hack. Maybe you have something that you can put in the survival kit for dads that dads might need to know that a lot out there might not know. And now you have a platform, you have an audience to where you can put dads on game, whatever it is. And again, it could be a quote, a lesson you've learned. It doesn't matter.
- [42:32]
Sherman Young
You can remain anonymous.
- [42:34]
Will Compton
Yes, it doesn't matter. You are a dad. You're trying to be here for the dads. You're trying to be here for the community and whatever way you want it to be, positive, negative, putting us on game, whatever that is, that is your voicemail. That is your phone call. I do think it would be smart to do an email one too to where people can write it up. And even with the call, it's not zoom. You're not, you're not showing your face. You're not doing any of that you're calling into the hotline 601 the dads, and you're leaving a voicemail.
- [43:01]
Sherman Young
Will, what would you say if I told you even though that number got connected three days ago? Three days ago. We have our first voicemail.
- [43:10]
Will Compton
Oh, we have one.
- [43:12]
Sherman Young
We have one. Would you want to answer it?
- [43:15]
Will Compton
Sure, go ahead and play it.
- [43:16]
Sherman Young
All right, we'll play it live. I'll play it into the mic, and then we'll let you take it from there.
- [43:22]
Will Compton
Okay. All right, Compton, this is Taylor. This is Hunter. Big time fan of the show, so stoked to see what you do with. For the dads.
- [43:32]
Sherman Young
Just a question. Just a question from me.
- [43:35]
Will Compton
If your best friend ever called you and asked you to play Santa Claus so his kid could keep the beauty and the magic of Christmas in their.
- [43:44]
Sherman Young
Heart and keep their little childhood dreams alive, tell me, how would you handle that conversation? And what would be your best standard impression?
- [43:53]
Will Compton
Once again, big fan. Huge, massive fan.
- [43:57]
Sherman Young
Year 10. Yeah. Bye.
- [43:59]
Will Compton
Bye.

Sherman Young
I don't know if you caught that at the beginning. That was Hunter.
- [44:03]
Will Compton
Oh, Hunter. That was Hunter.
- [44:04]
Sherman Young
That was Hunter.
- [44:05]
Will Compton
Longtime fan of the show. Yeah, close. Close. And dear friend of the show.
- [44:08]
Sherman Young
Yeah. And what he knew about year 10, so I'm guessing he's probably a tier one.
- [44:12]
Will Compton
It seems like he's very aware. So this man, Hunter, you know, what was his question again? How would I handle being Santa Claus on the phone to his.
- [44:20]
Sherman Young
To his k. Was to call you because his kids are. I don't know if I believe in Santa anymore. Well, let me call up Santa right now, and you're the person that he called. How would you handle that?
- [44:33]
Will Compton
Santa being real?
- [44:34]
Sherman Young
No, no. How would you handle role playing Santa? If you need. I don't mind being Hunter's kid. And we can just. We can run through it right now.

Will Compton
What's your name?
- [44:44]
Sherman Young
Billy.
- [44:45]
Will Compton
Billy?
- [44:46]
Sherman Young
Yeah. Santa.
- [44:51]
Will Compton
Oh, ho ho. Hey, Billy. It is Santa. I'm hearing you're having some questions about myself being real. Oh, ding it, ding it. Quiet down back there, Rudolph. I'm talking to Billy. I'm talking to Billy right now. Hey, my little elves, can you get Billy's gifts ready? I know Christmas is coming up. I just have a couple questions I gotta answer with them.
- [45:13]
Sherman Young
He's talking to the elves. Oh, my gosh, Santa, I was just wondering. My friends at school in the lunchroom, they're all picking on me. They're all telling me that you're not real and that I'm just a dumb kid for believing in you.
- [45:27]
Will Compton
Why would they say such A thing, Billy, you're talking to old Santa Claus right now. I know you're excited for Christmas. What would you like for Christmas, Billy?
- [45:36]
Sherman Young
I would love an Xbox.
- [45:38]
Will Compton
Here's what I would. Billy, listen to me closely. Here's what I'll tell you. You're going to go back to that cafeteria. You're going to go back to that lunchroom on your next day of school, and you're gonna tell your friends you spoke to Santa Claus on the phone.
- [45:49]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [45:49]
Will Compton
You asked for an Xbox. And if you get an Xbox on Christmas, you're gonna tell them that that's their belief on what they're gonna get for their toy. You're gonna show them. You're gonna prove to them that Santa is real, because you are going to get what you want. And can you do another thing for me, Billy?
- [46:03]
Sherman Young
Anything, Santa.
- [46:04]
Will Compton
Ask them what they would like for Christmas as well. And also mark down their address. Mark down their address and what their parents name might be on where they could possibly receive this secret gift. But don't tell them. Don't tell them that Santa Claus is telling you this. And then we will prove to them together that Santa Claus is real.
- [46:26]
Sherman Young
That's well done. That's well done. That was a great dude. Proving it by also getting their parents involved, because their parents are gonna be like, who the hell is this from? And it's gonna come. And you were gonna sit there and say it was from San.
- [46:39]
Will Compton
So spoiler alert. Hunter is Taylor. And Taylor, a few years back, when I did not have kids, he needed me to talk to Wynn because Wynn was having a bed issue and they were trying to solve it by her talking to Santa and then keeping the life of Christmas alive and maybe helping her work on wetting the bed. And I wet the bed on the phone. I was in the middle of a Whole Foods and I was shot. You know, you're doing all these different things at once, so you can't, like, be intentional and focused on what he actually needed from me.
- [47:16]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [47:17]
Will Compton
And so I handled it all wrong. I told her that if she. If she didn't stop. If she didn't stop wetting the bed, she might not get any breaths. He had to kind of rush her out there. And then he called me. He said, what was that, dude?
- [47:36]
Sherman Young
I don't know.
- [47:36]
Will Compton
I don't know. I panicked. I thought you wanted her to stop wetting the bed. I'm trying to motivate her by, hey, you're gonna get Christmas presents if you don't stop waiting. The bed didn't tell me about the.
- [47:43]
Sherman Young
Wedding, the bed part. He just said you did a. You didn't do a Santa voice at all. You answered it as well and just went, yeah, hey, it's Santa. Yeah, hey, it's Santa.
- [47:56]
Will Compton
Oh, I win. Yeah, this is Santa Claus. Thank you, Hunter, for calling in. Thank you, Hunter, for calling in. But that is kind of the idea of what want to do with the voicemails every week. So again, call into the hotline. 601 the dads. We're gonna wrap this up here soon. We got some pro. A little product recommendation for your survival kit. Myself, I'll keep it short, I'll keep it tight. I'll keep it right.
- [48:19]
Sherman Young
Yeah, yeah.
- [48:20]
Will Compton
A go to for myself is every evening we sit down at the dinner table and I have the Daily dad sitting there by Ryan Holiday. Awesome guy to look into for the Daily dad newsletter. He's got a book called the Daily dad where it gives you like 330, 65 days of different lessons in the book that you'll like, learn. And it's based on through stoicism. Big fan of stoicism. But the Daily debt I would recommend for your survival kit. I would also Recommend the book 12 hours in 12 weeks or 12 hours by 12 weeks. I know I've tweeted about it before, but parents kind of like getting into the thick of like, hey, what's a book I can read? If you're a dad out there trying to figure out something you could do to support the wife, I, I strongly recommend 12 hours and 12 weeks. Weeks. It's like a sleep training book that is not overly aggressive. It's the way the child can like adapt to your life versus you, adapting to everything and catering everything around them. It's got a lot of practical ways for you to get them sleep trained by 12 weeks. I want to say Rue, it took her about 16, 17 weeks and Scotty was like 12 weeks, maybe even 11. And it was all based around the teachings and everything inside of this book. 12 hours and 12 weeks. But those would be my survival kits. Get recommendations for dads out there thinking about something they could do, like even for yourself, like trending toward having your first child or maybe your first one didn't go well and you might be looking for something in your second one or you might maybe in the thick of it now and you can dive in. Yeah, but those would be my survival kit product recommendations. Book title again, the first book is just the Daily Dad.
- [49:50]
Sherman Young
Daily dad.
- [49:50]
Will Compton
Yeah.
- [49:50]
Sherman Young
Okay.
- [49:51]
Will Compton
And then the next segment being A dad hack. I would say plan your solo time. You realize like you were already juggling this around in your mind, like, you know, life being kind of over. Not, like, not over, but there's going to be a lot going on to where the life as you know it will no longer be. You won't have the freedom and the free time and everything that you kind of have. You even don't realize it when the baby comes home. Then you start realizing all these different things that mom might know and understand and you're just trying to figure out out where do you fit in the whole puzzle.
- [50:23]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [50:23]
Will Compton
I would say planning your solo time because you're going to be spread thin through work. You're going to be spread thin through being at home, being supportive to where you kind of like lose time for yourself. So planning your solo time, whether it's a workout, an hour a day, whether it's the time you want to pull out the, you know, the, the lifeline of taking a deuce at the right time or reading a book, whatever your solo time looks like, you need to make sure to start planning for it because a lot of things change when you do have kids. And if, if you're out there trying to think of ways, ways that you might be missing. How to feed yourself is plan out, schedule out your solo time.
- [50:58]
Sherman Young
I love that. Very quickly I'll. I'll segue into one. I need to get that Daily Dad. I'm going to give myself a homework assignment.
- [51:07]
Will Compton
Okay.
- [51:07]
Sherman Young
Of getting daily dad starting to read into that. Because our next segment is what are the odds? Shout out fanduel with what are the odds? We'll just be talking about anything that that's crazy coincidence that happened with the kids. Maybe they puked and they missed every single thing except for that one really nice thing in your living room. That's the. The segment. But what are the odds is Scarlett is potentially going to be a freedom baby pending that Jill is going to get induced on July 3rd.
- [51:47]
Will Compton
Explain that. What's a freedom baby?
- [51:50]
Sherman Young
A freedom baby is a baby that would be born on July 4th. The 4th of July, Independence Day.
- [51:57]
Will Compton
Got you so Scarlet, you.
- [51:59]
Sherman Young
Hey, come on.
- [51:59]
Will Compton
Takes me a minute.
- [52:00]
Sherman Young
Hey, that's all right. But Scarlett potentially being a freedom baby. Jill called me today. They said baby Scarlett is looking healthy. She had a stress test and a screening today. They said we want to induce you at. At 38 weeks and that will be the week of July 1st. And we want to aim for July 3rd. So she will be born on the 4th of July o. Our little firecracker. Dude, I am.
- [52:29]
Will Compton
I'm. I'm hyped for you, man.
- [52:30]
Sherman Young
We're gassed.
- [52:31]
Will Compton
World's gonna change. Oh, but I'm hyped for you, bro.
- [52:33]
Sherman Young
Yeah. My life is over as. As I know it.
- [52:36]
Will Compton
As you know it right now as a somebody who gets to kind of operate selfishly with your wife.
- [52:42]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [52:43]
Will Compton
Life's over.
- [52:44]
Sherman Young
Life's over.
- [52:44]
Will Compton
That life's behind you, thus this podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why. Yeah. That's why. You have a safe space now. Yes, sweetheart. We love you, Chili Bean. We love you. Hey.
- [52:53]
Sherman Young
I'm glad that you said that at the beginning because that did. That took the pressure off. I was like, I do need to act like, you know, no one's listening. Yeah, we're just talking.
- [53:02]
Will Compton
We're just talking.
- [53:03]
Sherman Young
This is the conversation.
- [53:05]
Will Compton
This is for the dads. Only dads are listening. Only dads are listening.
- [53:09]
Sherman Young
Few things you could be charged with if you're just talking about.
- [53:12]
Will Compton
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're just talking about it. We're standing around the garage. We're having a couple events.
- [53:18]
Sherman Young
Okay. So to wrap it up.
- [53:21]
Will Compton
Yes. To wrap it up. Quote, lesson or mantra in a phrase. Because you're going to be a girl dad as well. Yes. So this is more tailored towards the girl dads out there. And one that you hear a phrase that you love and you don't quite understand it. And it's. It's not like a moment that happens, but it's like moments in fatherhood that you begin to realize how important this is. But my lesson in that, that's going to stem from this, quote, Will's lesson of the week. Lesson of the week is that. And I have a little write up about this.
- [53:54]
Sherman Young
Okay.
- [53:55]
Will Compton
Is that you are your daughter's first love. And it's not something where you're trying to be romantic. It's about being the first role model of what love looks like. You're the first man to hold her. You're the first one to make her laugh on a hard day. You're the first one to show her that love doesn't have to be hurt or earned or beg to be kept. And that's a huge responsibility. It's a lot of pressure, but it's also a gift. Because how you treat her, how you treat her mom and how you show up when it's inconvenient or hard, she's watching not just now, but forever. She's learning what does it mean to be protected? What does it look like when someone listens to me and am I worth someone's time, even when they're tired? Because you are laying down the emotional hardwiring that she will lean on for years. And that's not to pressure the girl that's out there, but to empower you. Because when you kiss her on the forehead or you let her put bows in your hair, or you say I love you for no reason, you're teaching her, this is how love should feel.
- [55:01]
Sherman Young
Did you write that?
- [55:02]
Will Compton
Yeah, I. I put the pen. The paper a little bit. Had a little bit of help. Damn, dude. A couple articles on it. I'm reading. I'm in the middle of reading the book Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters. And there's a part in the book where the. The author, she talks about this. And so. And it's. It's. It's. Yeah, it's. I think it's great.
- [55:29]
Sherman Young
I. One, that gets me juiced because I have a little girl myself coming.
- [55:34]
Will Compton
Yeah.
- [55:35]
Sherman Young
And two, maybe we didn't touch on it enough at the top. I. I want everybody to know I'm scared shitless to have a daughter.
- [55:43]
Will Compton
Yeah, buddy.
- [55:44]
Sherman Young
But yes, I have the most incredible wife in the world. She was raised by a single mother and Jill's the most incredible woman in the world. Her, My mother in law, is incredible. Did it all herself. But I see the relationship that Jill already has with my dad, her father in law, and how special that relationship is to her, and it's a. It's a really tall order. It's a really tall order and I'm really lucky. And dude, I'm stoked to be here to have met you and Taylor and to really learn from you guys and have this like, opportunity to prep myself because I. I feel so much more, like, mentally ready. But that message was incredible, dude.
- [56:34]
Will Compton
I'm.
- [56:35]
Sherman Young
I'm fighting back tears pretty hard, but it's all good.
- [56:38]
Will Compton
We can. We. Your boy was fighting him back there at the end. Yeah.
- [56:41]
Sherman Young
Yeah. But I'm. I'm so juiced by that that I almost want to write it down and have it printed off. And that can live on the set. I can't believe you wrote that. Dude.
- [56:49]
Will Compton
That.
- [56:50]
Sherman Young
That was like run through a brick wall stuff.
- [56:53]
Will Compton
Yeah, it's you. I mean, you.
- [56:55]
Sherman Young
You.
- [56:55]
Will Compton
You know the history a little bit anyway that I had with. With my mom.
- [57:00]
Sherman Young
Yeah.
- [57:01]
Will Compton
And it's like the same thing on the other side is like, you're the same being a boy for a mom. So it does. It hits. It hits at a deep level. But hey, this was an awesome. This was an awesome episode. This is an awesome first episode. I gotta get out of this. I gotta get out of this right now. One thing that we are gonna do is I would love for the end credit scene to be gender reveals or positive dad moments. We're gonna show a little something here for the credits with our own. With our own videos. But what we would like to see is fans, whether you guys are dming us or showing us or tagging us in videos that we can use use on your behalf to put in the end credits. We'd love to roll kind of a highlight reel of. Of gender reveals and positive dad moments and just embrace the badass dads who are out there.

Will Compton
Oh, dad, what is that? We got hats. BWTB.com we got sick dad merch. I know a lot of our logos and themes which was done by people none other than myself, but it's based around wolves. And I remember asking the question, do you realize how much I love that this is themed around wolves? Because I am obsessed with wolves being the protector, you know, the pack mentality and everything else. But we have some sick merch. It's on the site bwtb.com there's a bunch of shirts, hats, everything that you're not seeing here on the set right now. But go check that out.
