Episode Overview

This heartfelt, hilariously candid episode marks a milestone for "For The Dads"—their very first guest: former NFL star, veteran podcaster, and all-around “PT Sicko,” Taylor Lewan. The host trio deep-dives into modern dad life, the power and responsibility of fatherhood, family lessons, and announce breaking news: Taylor is expecting his third child (and, allegedly, first son). The Boys swap stories, jokes, and life hacks, engaging with their thriving parent community on a range of topics from marriage and Valentine’s Day logistics to parenting “dubs” and “losses”, discipline, snack hacks, and navigating the emotional rollercoaster of raising kids.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Welcoming Taylor Lewan: Dad-Life and Podcasting Crossover

[03:21–08:57]

• First-ever guest on "For The Dads." Taylor is grateful for the chance to go deep on family, given he usually safeguards his family's privacy:

  "This will be the first time in my podcasting professional career that I will truly be talking about my family... the entire episode." —Taylor Lewan [06:05]

• He reflects on the PT6/Milk Team 6 (dad/mom) community and the global engagement it garners (including lots of “ladies,” rare for a football pod).

2. Show Segment Structure: Community Engagement

[07:43–09:04]

• Every guest is a co-host, not just interviewee.
• Audience interactions via social media, comments, and call-ins (601-THE-DADS), including shoutouts and dad/mom wins and losses.

3. Valentine’s Day & Marriage Real Talk

[13:41–19:31]

• The conversation playfully unpacks how Valentine’s Day morphs after marriage and kids:
  • Lewan: “Now it’s like, we got these walls down... Pressure’s way down.” [14:39]
  • Will chimes in on realities: dinner, expectations, acts of service, and keeping things fun and intentional over time.
• Taylor’s wild tradition: Every year, he gifts his wife as many dozen bouquets as years they’ve been married:

  "Last year I got her nine dozen bouquets of flowers... totally financially irresponsible... But it’s the theatrics." [18:14]

• The importance of setting a standard for his daughters in how they are treated, through his relationship with their mom.

4. Community Comments & Trivia—Proving Dad-Cred

[19:35–26:21]

• Taylor is quizzed on PT6, MT6, and For The Dads inside jokes/lore (all Navy SEAL puns and “buds”—‘Breeding Until Dad Status’).
• The infamous “shockwave”:

  "You go and do the things you need to do... long day of work, hit the chores... help with the kids... That’s where there’s electricity in the air. Shockwave is whether or not that electricity strikes." —Taylor [24:51]

• Acts of service as the true Valentine’s Day hack; jokes about pizza, heart-shaped pepperonis, and Domino’s (no free shoutouts!).

5. The Dad/Mom Dynamic: Telling Family Stories

[27:12–34:46]

• They discuss “APR” (After Pod Report), when wives correct their on-air story details.

  "If I'm telling a story and I might have got a couple minor details wrong... Let me rip a little bit, you know what I'm saying?" —Taylor [32:10]

• Taylor coins “CT6” for “Cognitive Team Six” (dad brain/memory loss).
• They laugh about the difference between telling a good story and being fact-checked by your wife (“don’t let facts get in the way of a good story”).

6. Heartfelt Hubby & Wifey Shoutouts

[34:49–39:14]

• Listeners share stories:
  • Katie Joe shouts out her first-responder hubby working through a Nashville ice storm.
  • Sam (Air Force) shouts out his wife Mara, moving four times in six years, handling a new baby, deployment, and a winter storm.

7. New Dad Tips & Hilarious Mishaps

[39:14–41:16]

• Patrick’s “Dad Hack”: monthly meal binders with shopping lists and recipes—a level of organization the boys admit is aspirational but unlikely.
• Donnie’s first pregnancy test; Will and Taylor share their own first positive test reactions, filled with nerves, jokes, and real talk about those moments.

8. Pregnancy Announcements, Loss, and Joy

[41:39–53:39]

• Taylor details the emotional roller coaster of learning, nearly losing, then securely expecting his first daughter.

  "So three or four week emotional period. It was just nuts... But then — by the way, you're having a kid!" [49:02]

• The hosts talk about the surreal feeling of bringing their babies home (“feels illegal”), dog/baby introductions, and reacting to the first positive pregnancy test (often met with a fair bit of confusion and joy).

9. Real Dad Wins & Losses (Crack a Cold One)

[63:04–78:08]

• Taylor’s “win”: using puppet therapy to guide his five-year-old through a dessert meltdown—ending in an apology and redemption.

  "I get these little stuffies out... She decides halfway through, doesn’t like this one... Ends up, this is the conclusion... Willow apologizes to her mother and says, I'm sorry for the way I acted." [67:14–68:17]

• Will’s “loss”: daughter’s first “boo-boo” on his watch, and how to communicate honestly with day care and spouse about parenting fails.
• Willie’s “loss”: not transferring the power bill after a move, nearly causing marital disaster during a Nashville ice storm.

Deep Dives: Parental Fears and Lessons

“Wait Until” Culture & Embracing the Present

[88:49–93:26]

• Voicemail from Dwayne: "Just wait until…” warnings are annoying—embrace every phase, they go by fast.
• Will and Taylor reflect on how quickly kids grow, lamenting lost “little” moments:

  "The days are long, the years are short." —Taylor [92:04]

Daughters Growing Up / Prepping for Dating

[93:56–101:03]

• Taylor gets real about the transition as his daughter grows, establishing communication and healthy boundaries about relationships:

  “My kids do so well with visual things… as you get older, this [can] goes farther and farther... the amount of freedom you have grows.”

• Will asks: what will the first talk with a boyfriend be like? Taylor’s prepping for respect, involvement, and an appropriate level of “dad vigilance.”

The “Big News” & Parenting Dynamics

[111:45–114:41]

• Taylor announces: “I’ve now been through buds three times. I am having a third child!” [111:58]
  • He expects a boy, “the curse may be broken”—but the genetic test isn’t back yet.
  • The age gap (kids will be 9 and 6 when youngest is born) is both “scary and exciting.”
  • Taylor jokes his older daughters can help raise the new baby (“I legit looked at Win in the eyes—‘you’re raising this one’”).
• Discussion on middle-child syndrome and intentional parenting to avoid neglect.

Rapid Fire Q&A, Lessons, and Heartfelt Advice

[108:08–111:44]

• Favorite kid snacks: jerky, homemade granola, honey, yogurts—Taylor’s wife is intense about healthy eating.
• The group laughs about whether or not they’ve tasted breastmilk or colostrum.

Dad Wisdom & Tearjerker Moments

[117:56–121:13]

• Sherm reads out a “level up dad” quote—soak in the chaos, don’t rush it, and you won’t realize the “lasts” until they’re gone:

  “One day they won’t run to the door when I walk in, and I won’t know it was the last time… So while they still run to you, drop your bag, get on the floor and soak it in…” [118:08]

• Will: “I have to remind myself… take your time and enjoy that.”

---

Notable Quotes & Moments (w/ Timestamps)

• On posting kid content:

  “There’s a level of FOMO... I see you guys post about your kids... I know this is truly them.” —Taylor Lewan [05:23]

• On marriage and comfort:

  “I tell my wife, if you ever left me, I just follow you and hang out.” —Taylor Lewan [15:03]

• Parenting through mistakes:

  “If your kid is going to daycare the next day, make sure to tell the daycare worker about said boo boo...” —Will Compton [81:31]

• On growing up:

  “My heart, dude. She said, ‘I feel kinda weird when you kiss me on the lips…’” —Taylor Lewan on daughter aging [95:02]

• On boundaries and dating:

  “Whatever makes you feel comfortable and however you want this relationship to go, it’s up to you…” —Taylor Lewan [95:17] “You’re going to look for qualities in a man you marry based off of me, whether you kinda like it or not.” —Taylor Lewan [98:51]

Memorable Moments

• Taylor’s pregnancy reveal [111:58]: “I am having a third child!”
• Dad quiz: Spelling ‘PT Sicko,’ shockwave origin stories [21:59–24:06]
• Dad hack (account info taped in the pantry):

  “I cut out the account number... tape it to somewhere you know where to find it.” —Will Compton [87:22]

• Collective confession: Nobody likes the diaper phase; all love the current chaos—in hindsight.
• Tearjerker reading about ‘last’ moments with kids running to meet you [118:08].

---

Key Takeaways & Lessons

• Be present: The “little” parenting moments are fleeting—soak them in, don’t wish them away.
• Communicate with your spouse & kids: Mistakes (and “APR” corrections) happen—own them and stay open.
• Build traditions and intentionality: Whether wild flower theatrics or family rituals, these actions set the standard your kids internalize.
• Community is powerful: The “PT6/Milk Team 6” universe is real, supportive—and sometimes, hilariously rowdy.
• Celebrate wins and admit losses: Every dad has moments of triumph and disaster—lean into both for growth and laughs.
• Stay emotionally available: As kids grow and boundaries change, your openness is what lasts.

If you only catch one bit:

“One day they won’t run to the door when I walk in, and I won’t know it was the last time… So while they still run to you, drop your bag, get on the floor and soak it in… These are the days you’ll wish you could run back to.” —levelupdad Instagram, read by Sherm [118:08]

---

Next Time...

The Boys and Taylor agree: this hour was just part 1. With a new baby boy (maybe) on the way, Taylor will be back to deep dive into parenting “from the top” again—helping out the whole Dads and Moms community along the way.

Papa Team Six. Welcome to another episode of for the Dads. Today is a very special day. Today is the day. We have our very first guest on for the Dads. He's a PT sixer. I'll get to listen if you haven't followed our socials. Our socials at for the Dad's Pod. If you've been on those, you know who the guest is going to be. But if not, I'm going to keep you hanging for a little bit longer. I hope your power is back on. I hope your trash is taken out. It is. We are recording because we're going to the super bowl next week. I know by the time this drops we had to backlog this one.

[Will Compton]

Yep.

[Willie One Shelf]

But right now it is January 30th. It's a Friday.

[Will Compton]

Yep.

[Willie One Shelf]

We're on day six right now of no power. Fortunately, the power is on the shop. It just went out when we were five minutes ago. Five minutes ago when we were about eight minutes deep of this episode. We're going to try and recreate the energy because again, optimism.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

But our guest that we have on today, he's a special one. He's a special boy.

[Will Compton]

A rumored sicko.

[Willie One Shelf]

A rumored sicko. Three time Pro Bowler, 10 years in the NFL. You know him from busting with the boys.

[Will Compton]

Michigan, man.

[Willie One Shelf]

You know him from espn. You know him from Michigan. And you also know him as an all time dad of two beautiful girls winning willow at pt. Sickos. Give it up in the comments for Taylor Lawan. Thank you.

[Taylor Lawan]

Thank you.

[Willie One Shelf]

You like that introduction?

[Taylor Lawan]

I liked it. So nice. We did it twice, buddy. Yeah, it's. It's. Yeah. Optimism.

[Willie One Shelf]

Can you allude to some of the magic that we had that we're gonna do? We're gonna do our best to keep it there.

[Taylor Lawan]

I'll say this, man, like, I've been watching from afar. I remember when the first time you kind of came to me in our little team meeting room as a, hey, I'm thinking about starting this show. Ads. I wanna. Essentially, you're asking for the blessing. Like, are you cool if I go and start this show? And I was like, planet of the Apes?

[Land.com Ad Read Announcer]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

I was like, yeah, I think it would be awesome. Like, you're obviously big into it all that you bring up Sherm. He's gonna be a soon to be father. At the time, he's like, he would be great. There's no doubt, Sherm in front of a camera is better than behind a camera. You're actually great behind the camera. That's not a shot.

[Will Compton]

Well, no, but thank you. You're a phenomenal talent. I'll take that, is what I'm saying. I'll take that.

[Taylor Lawan]

And I knew eventually this would happen. This, like, would merge of, like, you guys would want guests eventually. And I thought hopefully, you know, God willing, God willing, I would become one of those guests. And it's really cool for me because the way my family operates, the way my wife and I operate, is we protect, try to protect and preserve, like our children. We don't want in the public light, we see anything. And I get to see you guys post about your kids. And there's a level of FOMO that I have at times being like, oh, look how happy that beautiful family is. And a lot of times you play the game is like, well, is the Instagram family happy? But I, knowing both of you, I'm like, this is truly them. And it's just really cool to see. And so this will be the first time in my podcasting professional career that I will truly be talking about my family in a way, the entire episode. Yeah. That I have not really done on Bustle with the Boys. There's been emotional times, there's been great stories and stuff like that. But this is a time where it's truly Based around my family. Our families.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

How we're all integrated together and dude, I'm fired up.

[Willie One Shelf]

You're a great storyteller. Because it's spotty, like you were alluding to.

[Will Compton]

It's.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's spotty on. In the bus. In universe when you talk about on bus with the boys. But the fact that we're gonna have a dedicated. Keep it under an hour.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, gotta keep it under an hour.

[Taylor Lawan]

That's the thing is like, I gotta go in an hour. Right? We can't do this any longer than an hour.

[Willie One Shelf]

Can't do this any longer than an hour.

[Taylor Lawan]

And luckily we all got a heart out.

[Willie One Shelf]

So you're BT Sicko.

[Taylor Lawan]

People say that. People. There's rumors swirling and it's only. It's up to me to. To prove to the viewer today that I'm a PT Sicko.

[Willie One Shelf]

Are you aware that this is the. The strongest fatherhood community going on right now in the modern day?

[Taylor Lawan]

Can I say something else? Please. I know you guys are like 36, 37 episodes into this whole thing.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And it is incredible to see the village, the tribe that the two of you have established, not only in the continental United States, but worldwide, internationally. These people coming out of nowhere. And the thing that's been the most mind blowing to me because it doesn't happen on Busting with the Boys. Got a lot of ladies over here.

[Willie One Shelf]

A lot of MP6ers.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yep. Yes. So I am very excited to meet these people, to embrace fatherhood, embrace family, all that on this show. I. You can be more excited.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. And again, for the audience out there watching, listening, wherever you're getting your podcast, please make sure you're following and subscribe, please. But this won't be just a. This isn't like an interview.

[Taylor Lawan]

This is.

[Willie One Shelf]

The boy is co hosting. Anything we have on a guest, they will be co hosting. They will be immersed in our show. Taylor's got a lot of cards around him because again, we love to. We love to engage with our audience at. For the Dad's Pot on social media. So if you drop comments, we get them on cards. If you want to go the extra mile and be featured featured on the show, you call into our hotline 601 the Dads. That is where if we feature your voicemail, your call in whether it's a dad win, dad lost, anything you want to venture to the boys, we play it, we send you some merch. If you can't, if you're international and you can't call into the hotline, or you don't want your voice to be heard, you simply just Write in an email. 601 the dads gmail.com so we do comments, we do engagement all throughout the episode. Taylor's got a lot in front of him right now. Oh, and big news that we got during that little power five minutes that we just had. We just hit 20,000 on YouTube. We just hit 20,000 subscribers on YouTube.

[Will Compton]

And that's it. That's really just thanking pt6. I mean, truly, like, thank you, pt6 for, for subscribing, but also huge shout out to pt6 because he had a really good number of like, comments and questions with what two days before we were recording, we put out a tweet, a post and some stuff and they came through. So shout out pt6 and mt6.

[Willie One Shelf]

Derek would dropped in the chat the other day too. The, the Reddit, the Reddit page. Oh, dropping the little clip or the.

[Olipop Sponsor Representative]

Video we talked about, I guess technically two episodes ago about how they were like, oh, our time will come. Our time will come. We have a discussion here, Taylor, about like Reddit and just, we don't use it and so what does it mean? And we found that PT Sickos had made us a Reddit. So last step or two episodes ago, we shouted it out and then I sent a link to the boys. They posted and said, we're famous with the clip of us discussing created Reddit page. So the community is absurd.

[Taylor Lawan]

Reddit is a world that I've never like, truly been in, but I have clearly I've touched a link or two in my life and I've looked. Buddy, you had some, you had some sickos on there. Not even PT Sickos. Yeah, you got sickos in general. And you gotta love them too, because that's, that's the heartbeat right there. Yeah, they will make you rise and fall, baba. In a lot of ways. They will take your ass out if you don't.

[Will Compton]

If you don't come correct.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

You know, you're in the pocket of Reddit where I would assume it's the same, but you click the links that you do click, you hit it. And then when Safari opens up, it's like, do you want to open it up in the app or do you want to stay on. Stay on the browser? Oh, you got to make a profile to get on Reddit.

[Taylor Lawan]

You feel like you always stay on the browser.

[Willie One Shelf]

The minute I got to do a.

[Taylor Lawan]

Login username and you have a password and they have to verify the password. That's when you are now in the.

[Will Compton]

Cold, you're a sicko.

[Willie One Shelf]

You're in this.

[Taylor Lawan]

You're official sicko.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Speaking of sickos, we did have a sicko right in. This is from Joe Veers on Instagram. And this is for you to read before we kick off.

[Taylor Lawan]

Now. We did. We did read this. We did, we did. And I. I just wanted to. The reason why I brought that up is my reading abilities. Anybody who watches Bust with the boys knows subpar. It's not great. So I have to pre read. I gotta pre read my reads before I actually read live.

[Willie One Shelf]

Now I'm in my head, I'm like, do I do the thing where I like Taylor? He needed the room for 10 minutes while we had to walk out of the shop.

[Taylor Lawan]

And that, hey, if you want to say that, you're more than welcome, do it.

[Will Compton]

Do it again. It was good. It was good.

[Willie One Shelf]

So Taylor, listen to.

[Will Compton]

Hey, don't do it.

[Willie One Shelf]

Then we gave him the cards, he saw the cards and he was like, gentlemen, can we all leave the office? Can you all step outside and give me 10 minutes?

[Will Compton]

Don't flame him like that.

[Taylor Lawan]

Come on.

[Willie One Shelf]

The first iteration.

[Will Compton]

You'Re not.

[Willie One Shelf]

You're not.

[Taylor Lawan]

Oh, all right.

[Willie One Shelf]

Do I do the Clifford the Big Red Dog?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, we got the same book.

[Taylor Lawan]

Still got trouble with clip of the Big Red Dog.

[Will Compton]

Yes.

[Taylor Lawan]

All right. This is Joe Vers Instagram Joe versus why I. Why am I actually excited for this? The crossover every MT6 are probably dreaded. After years of hearing bustle with the boys prior to ftd. It's your time to shine as a PT Sicko. Taylor, please don't let us down. And you won't.

[Willie One Shelf]

MT6, sir.

[Taylor Lawan]

MT6er. I am going to do my absolute.

[Willie One Shelf]

Best that here they're. They'll be their lives. Hear us do what we do on bus and just think what. Why do we got to listen to this on our long drive? Now they have four of the dads. Moms get included a little bit. Oh, okay. That's. That's the same obnoxious guy that I hate listening to. That you listen to.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Now we're all together.

[Taylor Lawan]

I like to picture these beautiful women sitting passenger side in the car as they're driving, listening to pt6 for the dads and smiling to themselves. And every two or three times an episode looking over and goes, that's so you.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yes.

[Taylor Lawan]

You do the same thing. Yeah, that's crazy. You do that and then he'll have a chance to look over and be like, you've done that to me. And then now we're having fun.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, we're having fun.

[Taylor Lawan]

And that's all that matters.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like, see, babe, I'm telling you, when I. When I want to get a little action.

[Taylor Lawan]

That's right.

[Willie One Shelf]

It ain't personal. It's all the guys feel this way.

[Taylor Lawan]

Electricity in there and there's a bit of a shockwave headed. It ain't just me out there. We're all trying to scratch that itch a little bit. You know what I'm saying?

[Will Compton]

Come on, man.

[Taylor Lawan]

Part of that deal. Part of that deal.

[Will Compton]

I will say there is very little difference between Will Compton on busing with the boys and Will Compton on for the dads. It's really that they're just seeing a completely different side of you as far as like the humanity of you.

[Willie One Shelf]

So it's getting married to in the household, you said what jokes get married to in the house.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Some of them sit down.

[Taylor Lawan]

Like, I do see a little bit of a difference. Much more positive. Like not in a negative way.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Like straightforward buses. Like whatever will feel on that day, that's the way you're going to get. This feels like a. Like a light positive. And it's not saying you're not.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, yeah. Positive guy catching the comp. You're throwing me a con.

[Taylor Lawan]

Take it a different way. Let's not take it that way. Let's take the way it was meant to be presented to you.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's hard to be taken that way. When you got on these beautiful hats.

[Taylor Lawan]

No doubt.

[Will Compton]

You look good, Taylor.

[Public Ad Read Announcer]

Looks good.

[Willie One Shelf]

Modeling this well, yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Like what? You've been married, what, since. For four years. Five years. Four years.

[Willie One Shelf]

Roosteries of four.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. So four years. What is. How has Valentine's Day changed for you since being married? Established. Because I know it's changed a lot for me. Yeah, it changed a lot for me. And it's a. I'll be honest with you, it's really nice now.

[Willie One Shelf]

I think you just know what time it is on Valentine's Day, you know, I mean there's no second guess. There's no question, like, hey, you know, all the hoops you jump through to set up maybe a. A perfect little Valentine's Day night. Do they want that? Do I want that? Are they expecting me to have this? I don't really want to do, but I also, I'm into you, so I. Maybe I should do this.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Now it's just more a little straightforward. We're going to do a date night. We gonna go out we know we're gonna hit a shockwave.

[Taylor Lawan]

Ain't nobody getting too full tonight.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you want oysters? Oysters and blueberries.

[Taylor Lawan]

Okay. They're a little more into it. They know what's gonna happen instead of fighting it. Hey, do I want to? Do I not want to? They know they're going to.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

So now it's like, we got these walls down. We're having a little more fun with it.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. Pressure. Pressure's way down on Valentine's Day.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. Pressure's way down. In that instance for me, younger, like, re. Like, early married. Because anyone who knows my story about me and my wife is we got engaged in five weeks, married in two months. So there was a very quick courting process for me. But we've been in April. We'll be married for 10 years. And we looked at, hey, we got Valentine's Day coming up. And it turns into there's not an expectation on me anymore, where it's like, what are you going to do? What are we up to? Like, what's your plan for Valentine's Day now? It's like, hey, what do we want to do on this special day that we get to be ours?

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Those massages grab a little up to. It's really like, let's just have a nice time together. Let's make. Let's be intentional about the two of us as opposed to got to make sure there's a little rose petals going.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Kind of theatrics that I might not be great at, but do you.

[Willie One Shelf]

Do you. Approaching Valentine's Day, do you think? Or maybe what are the holidays? And it could be Valentine's Day where you might think, like, let me get her on her toes here. Let me throw her off guard. She thinks nothing's going to happen.

[Will Compton]

Now.

[Willie One Shelf]

It might not be now.

[Taylor Lawan]

I do.

[Willie One Shelf]

It might. It might not be huge, but just something little. You knew. You knew that wasn't coming.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. I don't know if comfort's been my enemy, but I used to a lot more than I do now. I think as we get older and I'm almost 10 years married, I'm like, yeah, hey, we're good, right? We do this. Like, I know you're happy. I'm extremely happy. If you ever leave me, I'll, you know, good luck, dog. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I tell my wife, like, hey, if you ever left me, I just follow you and hang out. Like, I'm like, what are you doing? But, Taylor, you do this. Like, come on, man, we're going to be boys still, right?

[Will Compton]

No matter what, I still love you.

[Taylor Lawan]

But so, yeah, for me, it's like, let's just have a good time. Let's up any expectation. I think communication as we've gotten older has gotten a lot better.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Where there's not this. If there's ever been a level, which Taylor's really good about communication, but there's never. If there ever has been a. You need to know what I'm thinking. That's gone for us. Where she's like, this is how I feel. I'm like, well, this is how I feel. And then you get a little pillow talking. You try to work it out. Make a little regular shock wave.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, buddy.

[Taylor Lawan]

Try to get a little something going a little bit. And then you go to sleep.

[Willie One Shelf]

It feels like The Super Bowl 2 is more like anniversary.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. I agree with that.

[Will Compton]

Wait, what do you mean by that?

[Willie One Shelf]

So, like, the. The pressure of, like, Valentine's Day when you're married, I feel like more that pressure that ball gets fully into.

[Will Compton]

Got. You got.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because you're married. Like, obviously you celebrate anniversary. Like, if you're dating or you're serious and stuff like that.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like, the expectation or pressure that might be belt or scene. All that gets put more towards anniversary than Valentine's.

[Will Compton]

We are so close to the actual NFL super bowl that I took that way too literally.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

That's fair.

[Will Compton]

That's why I was like, why would that be an anniversary?

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Oh, you should do it. Maybe we should change that PT6 or, like, change Valentine's Day and put it on super bowl weekend.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. So Saturday you just get, you know, next year.

[Olipop Sponsor Representative]

That's happening. Next year Valentine's Day will be on Super Bowl.

[Willie One Shelf]

Hey.

[Will Compton]

Really?

[Olipop Sponsor Representative]

I was informed by my fiance two days ago.

[Willie One Shelf]

They just made the rule because they just heard Taylor say it.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Breaking news coming out right now from. For the dads.

[Taylor Lawan]

Very. You guys are welcome for that.

[Will Compton]

Do you all have a go to for Valentine's Day? I do not. But, like, do you have something that you do no matter what? Every single year?

[Willie One Shelf]

I have a go to. My go to is, oh, Valentine's Day's this weekend.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Or, oh, Valentine's Day's in a couple.

[Will Compton]

I have a go to as well. I have a go to as well.

[Taylor Lawan]

What's your go to?

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, that's.

[Taylor Lawan]

My go to on Valentine's Day. Every Valentine's day, I get 12 dozen bouquets of flowers. Tails. Not a rose girl. She's like. She likes. More like wildflowers.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

12 dozen. Or, sorry, one dozen. 12 total bouquets of flowers. And I'll be like establishing like one month for every month since the last time we had a Valentine's Day, her anniversary. What we do is this will be year 10. And I told her big year. Every year 10, it resets. Yeah. So every year I've gotten her a dozen bouquets of flowers per year. So last year I got her nine dozen bouquets of flowers. And I just have people. It's a totally financially irresponsible thing to do. It's just ridiculous. But it's the theatrics in my head that I'm like, how do I want to. When my kids are older and I am dead and gone?

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

How are they going to explain their father? And it's like, dad, love theatrics.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And that's where I have to really buy into it. So.

[Willie One Shelf]

And I think two. Great work. You're setting a standard for your little.

[Will Compton]

You are, dude.

[Taylor Lawan]

Exactly. Dude. I can't wait to get in that conversation. I Talked to my 8 year old all the time about this is why fathers and daughter mothers are important and this is what you can learn. Yeah, Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

I have that as a. As a. As a massive topic as you being the cat here. That is the closest to the dating phase. But we'll save it.

[Will Compton]

Do we want to do comments before.

[Taylor Lawan]

We got an hour?

[Will Compton]

We only got to keep it.

[Taylor Lawan]

But you got to know. But just be said, this year, 10 bouquets of. 10 dozen bouquets of flowers will be delivered to my house. Taylor then goes and like gives them to like old folks homes and stuff like that before they die. Very sweet of her.

[Willie One Shelf]

Hey, yo.

[Taylor Lawan]

Involved.

[Willie One Shelf]

Does she go in the old homes and be like, which ones?

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, which ones are which ones? She's trying to John Cena something a little bit.

[Land.com Ad Read Announcer]

Hi.

[Willie One Shelf]

We joke on this part.

[Taylor Lawan]

We joke. It's a family show. I don't.

[Will Compton]

Joke.

[Taylor Lawan]

But the ones that got it. That's a. That's a good joke. So you keep that in your back pocket. Your 11 hits.

[Will Compton]

If I get flowers. I saw John Cena yesterday. What?

[Taylor Lawan]

What does that mean? It's not good.

[Willie One Shelf]

That flower sitting next to their bed. Oh, doc nurse April.

[Taylor Lawan]

April 20th hits on the 21st. You get a bouquet of flies. Just.

[Land.com Ad Read Announcer]

No.

[Taylor Lawan]

All right.

[Willie One Shelf]

But yeah, yeah, you're.

[Taylor Lawan]

You're 11. It goes back down to one dozen bouquet.

[Will Compton]

I like that.

[Willie One Shelf]

Good.

[Taylor Lawan]

Reset. It can only be financially irresponsible for so long. Then you're 30 for 30. Anyway. Onward.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, I was gonna do a comment here. Oh, God. I could kick off a fun little. A fun little trivia segment.

[Will Compton]

Yes, please.

[Willie One Shelf]

This from loan shark710 on Instagram. There were rumors swirling around the rumor mill that Taylor wasn't a PT Sicko. Hopefully this sets things straight.

[Will Compton]

Okay, and who was that from?

[Willie One Shelf]

From Loan Shark 710.

[Will Compton]

Those are big words. Those are the big words. That is.

[Taylor Lawan]

So let me ask this question. What. How do I establish to the people that I'm a PT Sicko?

[Willie One Shelf]

I think if Loan Shark is listening right now, which I assume that he is, whether it be on any of the channels. Apple, Spotify, Amazon, Google, YouTube, Galaxy Pod. Galaxy Pod.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah. SoundCloud.

[Land.com Ad Read Announcer]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

But Taylor's already kind of set a good. He's already set a really good tone. Like, you hear the. The PT Sickles out there. They're hearing the inside jokes he's speaking.

[Will Compton]

They're like, all right, we do have some.

[Willie One Shelf]

We do have some. We do have some fun trivia here.

[Taylor Lawan]

Okay.

[Willie One Shelf]

To establish the ptc.

[Taylor Lawan]

And this is a safe space. Right. Like, if I get one wrong, we're not judging.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, buddy.

[Will Compton]

There is no buzzer.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

No buzzer.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. Just a time limit. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

What is PT6 stand for?

[Taylor Lawan]

Papa Team 6.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yep. Now.

[Taylor Lawan]

Which is established after Seal Team 6, which is one of the Navy SEAL things that don't exist at this moment. Only the most dangerous of dangerous. Osama bin Laden passed.

[Willie One Shelf]

There's three answers here.

[Will Compton]

And extra credit.

[Willie One Shelf]

There is some extra credit.

[Taylor Lawan]

Okay.

[Willie One Shelf]

Can you spell PT Sicko?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Pt yeah.

[Will Compton]

Hot start. Hot start.

[Taylor Lawan]

Dash S, I, C, K, O.

[Will Compton]

That is technically one way to spell. That's one way to spell six.

[Taylor Lawan]

I, C, K, O. Thank you.

[Willie One Shelf]

Wow.

[Taylor Lawan]

Live studio audience.

[Willie One Shelf]

What does MT6 stand for?

[Taylor Lawan]

That is Mama Team 6. That is for the mothers. Oh, I'm sorry. Milk Team Six.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. There you go.

[Taylor Lawan]

Which is ridiculous. That's the hat I'm wearing right now.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

And you're looking at the answer of your BWTP dot com. You can go get them there on February 2nd. February 2nd, the merch drops. The Valentine's Day Milk Team 6 merch drops.

[Taylor Lawan]

Where can they find that merch?

[Willie One Shelf]

It will be out BWTB that when this is live.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. When this is going on. So go check it out right now.

[Willie One Shelf]

Okay, Here's a big one. All right. Buds.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Training.

[Taylor Lawan]

Okay. Buds. Training. Buds. Another Navy SEALs reference. They go through buds before they go through Hell Weight, before they are inducted as a Navy seal. That is breeding until Is it dad status? God grading until dad status. I have drew buds twice.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, you have.

[Taylor Lawan]

Twice. You've been through buds once.

[Will Compton]

Just once.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's a Fun training. Yeah. ST6.

[Taylor Lawan]

You talking about semen team six?

[Willie One Shelf]

Yes, we're talking about semen team six.

[Will Compton]

That's no longer a heat check. He's hot.

[Willie One Shelf]

I don't even think I need a quizzim on Shockwave.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, he. He knows that.

[Taylor Lawan]

See, I have my own little thought process on Shot with Shockwave is from my understanding of watching the show, is that you go and do the things you need to do. You. You exceed a bar, you come downstairs, and there's electricity in there for you. To her. Am I correct in generally stating what shockwave is? And then.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, yeah. So context of shockwave. Do you know the background of shockwave? This is. This would be full on insane extra credit.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. Like, I guess the only way to answer your question is with a question. Is that. Have you been to Six Flags in Texas?

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh.

[Will Compton]

Yo.

[Willie One Shelf]

Hey, yo. Come on, big dog. I didn't even know what to do. That one.

[Will Compton]

That's crazy. That's crazy.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. So, man, let me tell you something. Ride's not long.

[Will Compton]

I was just about to ask how many loops.

[Taylor Lawan]

Now, my thought process on Shockwave is that you go and we talk about the scoreboard all the time.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Go home. You don't want to have a scoreboard. However, there's always a scoreboard. You go home, long day of work, you come back, you hit the chores. I hit the chores?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Then all of a sudden, wife's not feeling so great. You go upstairs and hey, honey, you lay back for the rest of the night. I'm gonna go ahead and take care of these kids. You play with them, you do the thing. They're happy, jovial, happy jumping up and down, dad, we love you so much. You put them down, there's no fighting. They don't hear any loud noises downstairs or upstairs. Put them asleep, go to bed, you walk into the room. That, to me, is where there's electricity in the air. Shockwave is whether or not that electricity strikes. I do.

[Will Compton]

I do like that extra element of, like, he's doing all these things and, like, checking things off the list. And he's creating evidence.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

It's a wifey creating evidence.

[Will Compton]

You're.

[Taylor Lawan]

You're a great core value of busting with the bus.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

You're hitting a lot of great responsibilities that need to be done.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

You're also in that you're taking care of mama's needs.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Now dad has got some needs.

[Will Compton]

Because on Valentine's Day.

[Taylor Lawan]

Hey, listen, I. I got needs. And let's be honest, you got a couple as well.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

All right.

[Taylor Lawan]

This ain't a selfish game because this is love.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

This ain't like, you know, heavy breathing. This is heaven.

[Will Compton]

I will say this on Valentine's Day, I could do chocolate, flowers, all that stuff. But if Jilly Bean came home to a made bed, dishes done, bottles cleaned. Oh, dude, that's good.

[Taylor Lawan]

What's the words of affirmation or not words? Affirmation, Love, Languages.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Acts of service.

[Taylor Lawan]

Acts of service.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah, That's a big one.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Now she'll take chocolate and flowers for sure, but.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, she will.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yes.

[Taylor Lawan]

Or she got a little sweet tooth.

[Will Compton]

And she does. She has a huge sweet tooth. And if you do Domino's, does heart shaped pepperonis. Just figured that out.

[Willie One Shelf]

Really.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

No free shout outs to Domino.

[Will Compton]

No free shout outs to Domino's.

[Taylor Lawan]

We brought that over. No, free shout outs is brought over.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. Anytime you're just shouting out brains, like, I feel like it's just ingrained.

[Taylor Lawan]

Gotcha.

[Willie One Shelf]

Don't want to just give anybody free shout outs.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

There's a new one.

[Will Compton]

Very new.

[Willie One Shelf]

Maybe a couple weeks old. A few weeks old.

[Will Compton]

Oh, this one's hard.

[Willie One Shelf]

Mt6. April.

[Taylor Lawan]

Mt6 apr. So apr. I don't know what apr is, but mt6 is a milk team. 6 apr. Is it like have to do with pregnancy?

[Willie One Shelf]

No. So we've learned on this.

[Will Compton]

Okay.

[Taylor Lawan]

I don't wanna.

[Willie One Shelf]

Maybe as I tell the context of.

[Taylor Lawan]

Go ahead.

[Willie One Shelf]

You might start put like, you might start blocking out pregnancy. Yeah. But we've learned on this show that when we tell stories, we also have dad brain. Yeah. You know, I mean, you forget a lot of things. Sometimes you make stuff up. Who knows? You're remembering it as well as you can.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

But we've learned on the show, our wives are listeners of the show because we're obviously talking about family dynamics and we're talking about family stuff. So they want to, you know, they want to make sure we're doing everything justice. So we've learned on the show that we get feedback after pretty much every episode.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Depending on if we butcher a story. So I told the story a few weeks ago about when Rue went to the hospital for that seizure she had. Yeah. When I was like, what did I say about about a year and a half.

[Will Compton]

Eight months. You said she was eight months?

[Willie One Shelf]

No, I didn't say she was eight months. I was saying she was like a.

[Will Compton]

Year and a half. This is how it happens right now. This is.

[Taylor Lawan]

How can I say something?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Minor detail of how old she was. Right. And it's like. And also listen, I know this positive show.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Can we stop with the months after 12? I like that actually.

[Willie One Shelf]

Here's why, here's why I don't mind it. And I get it too. I get. It's like, oh, they're one year there. You could say year and a half. You do halves up until. What? Well, how long do you guys go? I went to about 19.

[Will Compton]

Well, and you could do. You're in some change. I love. Yeah, change.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

But so the halves, whatever for yourself.

[Taylor Lawan]

19 years old. I'm thinking how many?

[Will Compton]

I was like, is that.

[Taylor Lawan]

No, no, Scarlet. Six months.

[Willie One Shelf]

But the detailed month I like. I've enjoyed breaking down under two because I feel like the 16th month mark or the 15, 16 mark is when their personalities really start to come alive. So if I hear somebody like Sherm, Scarlett is what, six?

[Will Compton]

We go to the now, she would be seven months on this month. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

But once if you were to tell me 13 months, I'm thinking in my head, man, they're about to hit a little spin on when their personality starts coming out to where you're starting to get a little taste of it. But when it really comes alive is around that 15, six month mark. That's the only, only reason I don't mind the, the details. Under two years.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

I do feel you though.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. To me it's get the 12 months after that holiday one.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna be that more so.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Just cuz it's an easy, quick answer. But if I were to talking like talking to you on the show, obviously I would have it broken down by month, but. How old's the kiddo? Oh, she's a year and some change.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, year and change.

[Taylor Lawan]

Year and change like is at the end of the day, like this person's asked that question for filler.

[Willie One Shelf]

Some might. Some might take. Some kiddos might take 15 months to walk.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

That is.

[Willie One Shelf]

You know what I mean?

[Taylor Lawan]

Was that you?

[Willie One Shelf]

No, no, no, no.

[Taylor Lawan]

We.

[Willie One Shelf]

I was training them early.

[Taylor Lawan]

No, Rue is probably about you as a child. Not Rue or Scotty.

[Willie One Shelf]

Rumor has it no Willie boy was walking in nine months.

[Will Compton]

Hey, come on.

[Willie One Shelf]

Rumor has it that's earlier. There's no evidence.

[Taylor Lawan]

That's nice.

[Willie One Shelf]

That's.

[Taylor Lawan]

There's no evidence. But I'll. I'll believe that to the day. I die.

[Willie One Shelf]

That comes from Billy C. Right? It comes from my parents.

[Will Compton]

You were walking in nine.

[Willie One Shelf]

Nine months. The boy was running.

[Taylor Lawan]

He started going. All right, yeah, I. I'm. But APR after pod, report after pod.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because Sherm also told a story with what? Oh, with Jilly Pop and heavy cream.

[Will Compton]

Oh, God. Yeah. Jill has this drink that she was doing during pregnancy. She had gestational diabetes. Just through, like, some stuff with the placenta game.

[Willie One Shelf]

Par.

[Will Compton]

People game. Hey, if your wife has gestational diabetes too, here's a little sweet treat instead of. Well, here we go. Okay. Instead of saying chobani sweet creamer with ollipop banana cream. Banana cream. Thank you. This is why we're a team.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

This is why we're a team. Instead of saying that, I said that she was using heavy cream, like whipping cream.

[Taylor Lawan]

Y.

[Will Compton]

With Olipop cream soda. Cream soda.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. That's a single point.

[Will Compton]

And that's a different dish. And I got. I got stripped down when I got home, like, truly.

[Taylor Lawan]

And she.

[Will Compton]

She still, to this day will. She'll get pissed if I get, like, any type of detail of. Sherman, you're making me look like a psychopath. Like, you need go back on the show and, like, dial this out because I look like an idiot.

[Taylor Lawan]

A lot of responsibility being an authoritative figure in this world.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

A lot of moms. Ones. Right. Ones you're obviously married to, and then moms all over the place that are watching, learning, judging. Yeah. Oh, she's using heavy cream and cream soda. I kind of want to do that too. People did know that she's making a mistake.

[Willie One Shelf]

Week goes by, hey, that's the wrong.

[Will Compton]

Three times.

[Taylor Lawan]

It's low key. Kind of sounds nice. Yeah. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Someone tried it. Correct. Somebody was like.

[Olipop Sponsor Representative]

We had someone basically write in and be like, hey, my wife tried it, and I think she liked it and wasn't quite sure. And then Sherm also messed up the amount of hot dogs and beers Joe had on their first date. Yeah, that was another awkward dad brain moment.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, that's okay. Dad brain. Happens all the time.

[Will Compton]

Sue me. Happens all the time. Sue me.

[Taylor Lawan]

So here's. Here's something for MT6 that just would help me as a PT6 guy is if I'm telling a story and I might have got a couple minor details wrong that don't necessarily change the trajectory or the landing spot of the story.

[Will Compton]

Let it keep going.

[Taylor Lawan]

Let me go.

[Land.com Ad Read Announcer]

Yes.

[Taylor Lawan]

Let me rip a little bit. You know what I'm saying?

[Willie One Shelf]

Definitely.

[Taylor Lawan]

I know I'm wrong. But then make a nice Little joke. Be like, he got it most. Right. And then I can laugh with you, and then you can correct me on the thing.

[Will Compton]

You got an even bigger laugh with the. He got something.

[Taylor Lawan]

But if I'm going down the yellow brick road, right, and we're hopping and skipping and we're singing, I'm telling a nice little fun story. I don't want my vibe to get checked because I might, you know, dad brain might hit me right there.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And that's CT6, or whatever you guys want to call it. You know, I just all of a sudden start read, my brain starts rerouting a little bit. I don't know where I picked up where I left off. Yeah, maybe I got CT6.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, we got some CTs.

[Taylor Lawan]

How many times can I say before it kind of becomes a thing? That's all, you know, that's the goal.

[Will Compton]

I'll give Jill that. At least. Of like, she. She lets the story ride out. She does a good job of like.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, my God, the APR has become a fun thing. It's like the. It's like, you know, every. Every husband and wife out there, it's. It's all the same stuff. Dad's out there telling a story. He exaggerates a little bit.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Don't let you know what's the saying. There's a saying out there. Don't let a good story get in the way of a little bit of exaggeration.

[Will Compton]

Right.

But, you know, you're really trying to get to know her in that moment. You're confidently telling that story. And Char was a good 40 yards away and overheard. It was like, that is really wrong.

[Will Compton]

That's Patrick. That's insane.

[Taylor Lawan]

That's. That's one I listen to while you're reading it. I'm just like, yeah, I'll never do that.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

But I love the fact that there's somebody out there.

[Willie One Shelf]

But the way I think about myself doing that right now, I'm operating like.

[Taylor Lawan]

David, if I thought to myself, yeah, if I actually did that, like, I hit a whole different level, I would hit full potential.

[Willie One Shelf]

You're dry, you're driving the rest of the way home, and you've already done it. Then you get inside.

[Taylor Lawan]

Right, Exactly.

[Willie One Shelf]

You get inside and then the day.

[Taylor Lawan]

Goes and like, God forbid you mention the idea of doing that to your spouse.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

It's like, now I gotta follow.

[Willie One Shelf]

You've mentioned that idea to three different people and then a month from a month later, they follow age. You do that three ring binder and you're. Oh, I forgot all about this.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I probably won't do that, man.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's been working for. For us.

[Taylor Lawan]

I got one, a new dad from Donnie Hearing. Been a day one listener and I have held back from buying any merch because I was not a dad yet. But a couple of weeks ago, my wife and I finally got a positive pregnancy test. I don't know if it's going to be a boy or a girl yet, but you better believe I'm gonna cop some papa. Team six gear. Love the pod. Keep them coming. Come on, Donnie.

[Will Compton]

Hearing Donnie. Congratulations, dude.

[Taylor Lawan]

Shout out, Donnie. Funny that. Hey, that test comes up, do you. Have you guys talked about the first time you saw a positive pregnancy test on the show?

[Will Compton]

We haven't.

[Willie One Shelf]

Sure we have. Maybe.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, maybe. I don't think so. I don't think I've fully gone in.

[Olipop Sponsor Representative]

You got. Was Jill sending you the text of the pregnancy test as a prank, which that was up.

[Taylor Lawan]

Good show.

[Willie One Shelf]

The prank. That was.

[Will Compton]

Good show. Hey, wait, was Taylor there for the stream room text? I don't know if he was there that day.

[Willie One Shelf]

I'm not sure.

[Will Compton]

Jill sent me. She was having, like, stomach aches, all the fun stuff. And she was like, I hope I'm not pregnant, pregnant. And I'm, you know, this is right after we had Scarlett. And so I'm like, yeah, you know, whatever. And she just sends me a picture of a pregnancy test and that's all it was, was just the picture of the pregnancy test with no words under it. So I see that while we're live on stream for Thursday Night Football, hopefully.

[Taylor Lawan]

It was a good game, right?

[Will Compton]

He stood up so fast and I start to walk out and then like, like, you know, 45 seconds, like a minute after, it's, you Know, not pregnant. And I'm like, oh, my. What are we doing?

[Willie One Shelf]

Kind of fun, though. Kind of fun.

[Will Compton]

It was a little fun. It was a little fun.

[Willie One Shelf]

What was your first reaction when you saw the. The first pregnancy test? Positive.

[Taylor Lawan]

So if you guys have a minute. I know we only have an hour for the show, but I would. The story of when Rebel was actually a very interesting one. So wife and I meet in 2016. I've already said it. Engaged in five weeks. Married in two months. It is a Tuesday, and we're about to play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night football. Quinn Taylor's brother is in town, and I come home to a bag, and town's like, I have something to show you. She's kind of. You can tell. She's, like, panicked or, you know, you can tell the BPMs are up.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And I'm like, oh, what's. What's. What's going on? And she's like, turn around. And I turn around, I hear this bag rustling. And then I turned back around, and there are eight pregnancy tests.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

That are out. Seven of them say positive. And I'm like, what about that one? What is this? What is this one right here? And she goes, quinn took that one because we didn't know if it was broken. Fun fact about pregnancy tests. If you. If you're a male and you pee on a pregnancy test and it's positive, that is a sign of testicular cancer. So Quinn was also in those seven minutes. Yes. We're kind of like, hey, I guess we're gonna kind of find out that if we have anything going on.

[Will Compton]

On.

[Taylor Lawan]

So Taylor, we just met, right. She is 22 at the time, maybe just turned 23. And we barely know each other. I know I'm gonna know that rest of my life. I always make the joke to Taylor, like, I feel like you weren't fully invested in this relationship. Yeah. And a half. And they're like, all right, yeah, maybe I will marry this guy forever.

[Willie One Shelf]

Already get the ring.

[Taylor Lawan]

Already married. Yeah, I guess we'll do it. And so I go. And I really hope Taylor's okay with me telling the story, but she's. She's nervous. I go right into super positive mode. Like, hey, there's never a convenient time to, like, hey, let's have children. Like, we all have dreams, aspirations, what we want to do.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And I'm so. I'm super positive internally. I'm freaking out. So we go to the doctor, we go in there, we get the thing done, and we put it up we do the little deal and we see like a little sack and a tiny little flick.

[Will Compton]

Uhhuh.

[Taylor Lawan]

There. And I'm like, oh, that's a heartbeat, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, that's a heartbeat.

[Willie One Shelf]

Tastes like this. Real.

[Taylor Lawan]

This is real. And I'm like, hey, so what's the deal? Like, yeah, you're pregnant. It says like four to six weeks or whatever. I'm probably messing that up right now. And look at the apr.

[Will Compton]

That sounds. That does sound right for being able to see. Heartbeat.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Is six weeks because it is just.

[Taylor Lawan]

This little tiny flick.

[Will Compton]

Yes.

[Taylor Lawan]

And I'm like, hey, it's gonna be fine, blah blah, blah. And then I'm like, I gotta go to the hotel now because we have a game the next day. So this is actually a Wednesday, not a Thursday. I go to the game, we play. I think that was like the game that Derek had. The 99 yard run and like 238 yards rushing. It was a hell of a game.

[Will Compton]

So you played out of your mind.

[Willie One Shelf]

No, no, this was, this is the 99 yard run. I was on the.

[Taylor Lawan]

Okay. We beat the Jacks one of the.

[Willie One Shelf]

Many times during the games.

[Taylor Lawan]

I would always like every time I'd run out, the first thing I would do is like, look for Taylor and I'd see her smile, wave, blow a little kiss. And then every series after I finished, I'd go up, I look and I'd find her, see her, just to see her. Yeah, I would sit down and go over the playbook, stuff like that. Well, during the game she's like quiet and she's like, not really. Like you just tell. She's kind of like, seems like depressing. Like man, she's really taking this thing hard. It seems like.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And after the game we win, I go to give her a hug and the Titans at the S lot is where they had it and it was all like this gated in area with like no one can really see. But I get in and I see Taylor and I give her a big hug and she goes, hey, don't say anything but I, I was bleeding during the game and I think I lost a baby. And I'm like, like even right now.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

To feel yourself tear up a little bit because you're like so scared in that moment, but you're also like got like, hey, this is like a new journey, a new experience. Like I have, I have a shot at being a great dad here. Like you think of all the opportunity as opposed to the scared or at least you try to so we go.

[Willie One Shelf]

You ever get the feeling the city walls closing in the concrete jungle suffocating your soul? You crave wide open spaces, the chance to connect with nature, maybe chase some experience.

Head over to land.com. they've got ranches, forest, mountains, you name it. Search by acreage, location, the kind of hunting or fishing you dream of. Land.com. it's where the adventure begins.

[Taylor Lawan]

Days later, we go and get a test or we go to the ultrasound again and they go, yeah, you're. The heart rate is not there. We don't see a heart rate. We don't. And that little sack was there and I didn't see a flick. And I'm thinking, oh my God, we actually, we actually lost this baby. And so they tell us, hey, you. Seems like it's like a chemical pregnancy. We're gonna give it a couple of weeks and if you got. If you're still reading at these higher levels, whatever those levels are, then we're gonna have to do like a quick like. It's like a scope where you kind of take out the egg and everything and you. You remove it. So a couple weeks go by and I jokingly, I'm like, well, I joke with Taylor about this. I'm like kind of being a bee during these last two weeks, like, emotional, real emotional about it.

[Will Compton]

And I'm what's going on with that?

[Taylor Lawan]

What's going on when I emotional right now you were scared. Now you're not scared no more.

[Willie One Shelf]

Let me teach you something about football. You got to move on to the.

[Taylor Lawan]

Next play because I like, in my brain, I'm Like, I'm in the middle of the football season, so I'm like, yeah, I'm like, I go home, I handle. I like, I'm with her, we feeling the emotions together. But then I go to sleep. I wake up at 5:30, whatever it is, and I go right to the facility, and it's like, that's now has to go away for these next, you know, 12 hours.

[Land.com Ad Read Announcer]

Right?

[Taylor Lawan]

So a couple weeks go by, and Taylor's done herself. Taylon's a very even kill from emotional standpoint, very emotionally mature woman. And we go back and I'm like, hey, doc, something's up. Can we, like, come back and check? We do the ultrasound, and buddy, that little sack is still there, but that flick is back. And. And they're like, oh, my. So is it is what's going on? And I'm thinking to myself, I'm just seeing something that is like hieroglyphics to me. Ultrasound girls. Like, I can't say anything. The doctor's gonna come in. Comes in. Doctor's like, yeah, you guys are pregnant. And I don't know what happened a couple weeks ago, but you're. You. Yeah, you're having kids reading at nine weeks right now, or whatever the number was at the time. What?

[Willie One Shelf]

That.

[Taylor Lawan]

It was the craziest thing in the world. Old Taylor says all the time that when she was pregnant, she was so scared about what was going on that, like, Win, who's our oldest daughter, had to, like, remove herself for a second for Taylor to be like, you know what? It would actually been kind of great just to come back. So that was. It was nuts, man. So like three or four week emotional period. It was just nuts about thinking you're having a kid. And you're like, okay, I guess I'm not having a kid. But then do we have kids eventually? And it's like, no, by the way, you're having a kid. Kid. And it was. It was a crazy, crazy.

[Will Compton]

Dude, that's hard.

[Willie One Shelf]

A little. The little bean was born.

[Taylor Lawan]

The bean. We just called it the bean over and over again. Yeah. Yeah, dude, it was awesome. It is like, so scary finding out you're gonna be a kid for the first time. You're gonna have a kid for the first time. But, yeah, it's nuts. Do you guys remember the first day you brought back home your kid?

[Will Compton]

Oh, brought home. Brought home.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And you just sit there and they're like, you have all the nurses helping you with everything. And then you get in the car, you slap them in the. The the car scene. You're like, that car.

[Willie One Shelf]

They're. They're buckled in, and then you get in the car and kind of drive off, and you're like, all right, I guess we're doing this.

[Taylor Lawan]

I guess we're parents now.

[Will Compton]

It feels illegal. It feels illegal.

[Willie One Shelf]

You're just like, car seat on the floor. You know, ours is, like, in the kitchen.

[Taylor Lawan]

St.

[Willie One Shelf]

The car seat on floor. When we came inside, we're like, hey, waffle.

[Taylor Lawan]

Here's.

[Willie One Shelf]

Here's. Here's Rue.

[Taylor Lawan]

Kind of just look at it for a little bit. You're like, it's ours.

[Willie One Shelf]

Do I feed it now? Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. Like, it's not really talking a whole lot. What's the deal?

[Willie One Shelf]

Let's start getting this. Let's start getting the sounds going.

[Will Compton]

I was. I was overly worried about introing the dogs to Scarlet because I had read something that if you let the dogs find the baby, and it's like them finding and kind of showing you the baby, it's like, it's their idea, and it kind of helps with the intro. And I'm like, all right, Jill, when we get to the house, like, I'll. I'll get out. I'll take the dogs outside. You sneak Scarlet in, and then we'll do that. And after, like, two minutes of trying to do that, Joe was like, hey, I. I don't give a. About the dogs.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like, I'll get the dogs outside. You go. You go put Scarlet somewhere in the corner.

[Will Compton]

You sit on the couch.

[Willie One Shelf]

I'll come in. We'll kick up the feet. We'll throw on Netflix and be. Oh, what is that what you see over there wriggling. Oh, let's go.

[Taylor Lawan]

Oh, my good boy.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, the. The things that I was worried about go. You know, how many ever hours that was into fatherhood. But. And then with our pregnancy test story, Jill got a dad's. I don't know. I still don't know who gave her the sweater. Sweater from up here. But she got a sweater from up here that said dad on it. Laid it on our kitchen counter, and similar to Taylin had, she was like, oh, this one pregnancy test says I'm pregnant, but Let me take nine more. And so there was like, 12 pregnancy tests on the sweater.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And I came home, and she just had, like, the most awkward smile ever and was just, like, standing there, and I'm like, what's going on here? And see the kitchen counter? And the reason she never posted the video, though, was I jokingly told Jill we had just started trying and I jokingly told her we're gonna be that couple, that it's gonna be the very first time. Like, I just. I have one of those feelings. It ended up being the very first try. And so when I see all these pregnancy tests, I scream out, I told you.

[Taylor Lawan]

I told you.

[Willie One Shelf]

That's crazy.

[Will Compton]

And it like, is not a cute reaction at all. So we never posted it. But I was stoked.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. Rue was a very first try. And then Scotty, I've obviously talked about the IVF stuff.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Body. But we just talk about real quick. The first try for Will. The state that will comp. I saw Will Compton the night that R was conceived.

[Willie One Shelf]

[Will Compton]

Let's crack it.

[Will Compton]

And Taylor, I'm sorry I cut you off, brother. Yes.

[Willie One Shelf]

Cheers.

[Taylor Lawan]

Cheers.

[Willie One Shelf]

Dolly. Popping. Cracking a cone.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, absolutely. So my cracker cold one is just a big dad win for me that I was like, you know what, maybe I'm doing this right as a father. Maybe I'm actually figuring it out. So I think it was Monday or Tuesday. So we're like maybe, maybe it was Wednesday. Who knows? Anyway, it was like three, four days into having no power generators running every night. The lights dim. You're like, is this the end of time? Are we, is it done now for us?

[Land.com Ad Read Announcer]

Us?

[Taylor Lawan]

So the kids have been staying up a lot later and they've been getting up earlier because of it. There's been a lot of like less sleep nights to where emotionally both my children are having a more difficult time. Understandably.

[Willie One Shelf]

So st crazy locked in the house.

[Taylor Lawan]

Stir crazy. My 5 year old in particular, she is like 5 year olds to Me are in a such a unique phase to where they're really coming out of the toddler stage and they're getting into like the, the kids stage, the actual kid stage where, where they, they understand the idea of independence but they're still very dependent on parents. But they're finding the envelope of like, where can I kind of find more of like me. I do this thing. And my kids were graced with a decision for a dessert. It was going to be my wife cans peaches. So it'd be warm peaches and vanilla ice cream or a popsicle. Right now we're all sitting here and you're. If you're listening on Spotify or wherever you're at right now, you're clearly thinking to yourself, warm peaches and vanilla. I. Cream is the move right now. Yeah, five year olds don't think that way. True. Five year olds have been talking about pop school since morning. Breakfast hit. Can I get a popsicle? Too early for a pop school, honey.

[Willie One Shelf]

You know, we don't do this.

[Taylor Lawan]

We're not doing this. So they are given the decision. I have an eight year old and, and then there's a neighbor girl, Mackenzie. She's staying at her house as well along with her parents. She's 10. These kids identify, understand and execute. They say, hey, I'll wait a little bit longer, longer. But I want the peaches and I want the vanilla. Come on. That's what I, that's what I want. I'm thinking to myself, good move. 5 year olds over here really having a hard time. Ends up settling for the popsicle. Gets the popsicle maybe three licks in. And here comes the peaches and the vanilla ice cream starts getting on the warmer. She decides she's made the wrong decision. She wants to take it back. In our household, you make a decision whether you're happy with the decision you made or not. You got to stick with your decision.

[Willie One Shelf]

There's no going back.

[Taylor Lawan]

There's no going back. And like next time. Now you've learned, learned, hey, I'm gonna make the correct decision for myself. Back a little bit. And identifying. She doesn't take kindly to that. She starts getting mad. She starts having a little bit of a temper tantrum. All good 5 year olds do it. We all know anybody who's listening with a five year old and storms upstairs, storms upstairs. We say, hey, let's let her, let's let her sit there, sit with her emotions for a little bit. She lets out the every once in a while, loud scream, hey. Just to let you know, I'm still mad. Scream as. And as a dad, you sit there and you kind of like, Taylor's like, I should go up there. I was like, let me go. Go. I'm gonna go all handle this. You've been cooking. You just clean. Like, let me do this. Boom. Check. That is a pre shockwave move, by the way. That's it. 1:00pm all right. But I'm just letting you know, like, you put work in for these types of things.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

I walk upstairs. My daughter wants nothing to do with me. She's like, where's mom? My mom said, daddy came up on his own. I wanted to talk to you about this. Do you want. You want to come sit over here? Here?

[Willie One Shelf]

No.

[Taylor Lawan]

Do you want me to sit over there? No. Do you want me to stand in the room? No. I am at a dead end. To the corner of my eye, I see two so small, little stuffed animals. Oh, I think she might not want to talk to me. She might want to talk to them. I get these little. I get these little stuffies out. I'm like, oh, hey.

[Will Compton]

You did puppet therapy, buddy.

[Taylor Lawan]

Puppet therapy.

[Willie One Shelf]

Take us through it. Use the olips.

[Taylor Lawan]

Why are you sad? My mom, she. She said, I. And then I couldn't, but did I get it? Well, I can't understand you when you talk like that. Maybe I could help you if you do start breaking it down. I got two. She decides halfway through, doesn't like this one. Uhhuh. She switches it out with another one. So now this one's got a different voice. Hi. How we doing? Yeah, yeah, I know. I feel you. We're gonna get that figured out for you. Ends up, this is the conclusion of the story. I know. We only have an hour.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

We go downstairs. Willow apologizes to her mother and says, I'm sorry for the way I acted. But next time I'm gonna. I'm gonna choose peaches and cream. And I hope that. That I can have good behavior and do my chores so I can earn peaches and cream. Let's go.

[Willie One Shelf]

Big win.

[Taylor Lawan]

Thank you. That is my crack of cold war.

[Will Compton]

Hey, how hard was she fighting that smile when you broke those characters out, too?

[Taylor Lawan]

No, she's. Dude, she's good with the buy in, stay in.

[Land.com Ad Read Announcer]

Mad.

[Taylor Lawan]

She's.

[Will Compton]

Oh, really?

[Taylor Lawan]

She's in there and then she sees it and she, like, look at me, and then all of a sudden, I kind of vanish. And she's just talking to them, and if I butt in, she like that. So you think.

[Willie One Shelf]

Taylor. Taylor in that situation, he's dad. It's not. It's not the right funny. Taylor Lawan all the time like, no, that's dad. Like, I am pissed off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see you're trying to make me laugh. You look dumb.

[Will Compton]

And as a dad, too, like, a.

[Taylor Lawan]

Lot of times you have to be the guy that is like, comes in and puts your foot down a little bit. Like, yeah. When we go out of town, Taylor be like, yeah, kids, they. I had to get on the kids a little bit. I didn't like it. So I talked to him for an hour. I'm like, go to bed. Like, when it's bedtime. Like, I'll. I'll play all day long. Bedtime hits, buddy. We understand the operation here. Night has fallen. You see it. I've read the book. It's time to sleep. I can't sleep. Here's the best way to sleep. Close your eyes, breathe through your nose, out through your mouth. Well, you don't work through it with them. It's like, sweetie, all the issues you're having in your head, if you talk about it, like, we'll talk about in the morning. And so you make sure and bring them up in the morning so you learn to yourself, I can go to sleep, and then in the morning, I can figure out all these issues. Yeah, right. That way you're not causing nighttime anxiety where you feel like you have to talk about. What if you don't have somebody to talk about it now you're 23 years old. Old, it's like, boom, we'll move on tomorrow, right?

[Willie One Shelf]

I'm sitting there listening because I'm a sucker for, like, crawling in bed and just laying there because I like, rub rouge and back. Like, I'm like, I'm the closer. No matter what, I'm the closer. I'll either be doing roost bedtime or mom does bedtime. And then she comes out, dad, you're up. I go up. Because she knows she gets a little. She gets a little back scratch from dad. But I'm sure that'll change whenever they get older and you lay down the law. It's like the other night, all the stir craziness from being locked in the house. It's like Rue comes down, Charles doing Scotty's bedtime. In the whole thought before Charles took Scotty up to do bedtime. You're gonna say, you help that downstairs, clean the kitchen, clean up the stuff, tidy everything up. And then, you know, Rue gets to stay up a little bit longer. And then we Go up and do roots. Bedtime. But she's kind of attached to, like, following Charl around.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

And so she goes up, and then whenever Rue comes downstairs, she just gets on the couch. I'm, like, doing the dishes and everything, and Rue just starts whining. She's just like, you know, kind of. Just like one your attention or kind of want you to ask. Yeah, but it's the point of the day to where there's so many things going on. Like, between the power outage, the Internet, you know, the next day, we learned that there was, like, a slight gas leak. But even being in the new house, like, all the delivery shipping stuff just gets derailed.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

So you're learning through the day, like, all the things that need to get done in the house. Everything's kind of weighing on you. When you're there at the end of the day and you're thinking, all right, we're finally getting to bedtime time. Rue comes down. She starts doing the whining thing, and I'm just doing the dish, and I'm just thinking, like, the whining stuff just.

[Will Compton]

It drives you. It drives you nuts.

[Willie One Shelf]

Drives me a little crazy, buddy.

[Taylor Lawan]

It's the worst. And it's okay to say, yeah, it's awful.

[Willie One Shelf]

And she's just on the couch. She's whining. I'm like, hey, Rue, I've told you, we ain't doing this whining stuff. If you want.

[Will Compton]

You need.

[Willie One Shelf]

You need to. You need to talk to dad and let me know what you want. And then I kind of take whatever it is. I go back to the pantry to put something away. She's now gone from the couch. She went upstairs. So I fill the milk up, get ready, you know, prep to go upstairs. Bedtime. I walk into Scotty's room. Scotty is on Mom's lap. Rue is also sitting in the chair with them both, and she's, like, curled up on Mom. Now. I walk in, I'm like, hey, sweetheart, let's. Let's go. Let's go hit your bedtime. And she's just kind of sitting there looking at me, and I'm staring. I look at Charl, and I look back down at Rue, and I'm like, what's going on? And Charles looks at Rue. She's like, go ahead. She's like. Like, that. That was mean to me.

[Will Compton]

Oh, no.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like, oh. She's like, you were mean to her down there. And I kind of. I kind of smile because I'm thinking, it's. It's Kind of funny. I go in there and I'm staring at both of them. And then Ru's like, dad, that was mean to me. And I'm like, here we go. I go and sit down on the little poof. Go there, hit my thighs. I sit down. I said, sweetheart, I'm sorry for being mean to you, but.

[Will Compton]

Hard. But I hit the butt.

[Olipop Sponsor Representative]

I.

[Willie One Shelf]

Right there. I ruined the apology with the butt. Yeah, yeah, but that. It tells you all the time. I don't like to respond to whining. So when you came downstairs. Because Mom. I look over at Cheryl and I say, because, mom, what happened was I was doing this. Rue just came. Now I'm telling on Rue. Rue just comes downstairs, doesn't say a word to me. She just gets on the couch and she just starts moaning and whining. So I'm like, hey, I'm not doing this whining stuff. Like, I'm trying to justify all my decisions with my wife.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Because you know she's gonna ask you, hey, so what happened with Rue? And now you basically get out in front of it.

[Willie One Shelf]

I was like, so, Ru, sweetheart, when you just come downstairs and don't say anything to Dada and you just whine, Dada starts feeling emotions inside.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

I start feeling some bigger emotions than myself. So I just say, hey, we don't do the whin. And I'm not painting any mind because I need you to communicate with me. Yeah. When you feel that I need you dead, I need you to use your strong voice. She's kind of sitting there looking at me, and we kind of just pause. I look at Charl, I'm kind of like smiling because I realize, like, I'm telling her that had those big emotions too, but that feels stuff too. And this is a two way street, sweetheart. And I'm like, you want to come give that a hug? And she's like, yeah. So we give a hug, we do bedtime and de. Escalate the situation. But the whole coming down and the. The whining stuff, stuff drives me nuts, bro.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

You know, you got to use your strong voice. We can't stop doing the whining. Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

The whining thing to me is just a full stop. You're. We're not doing that here.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Not in this house. Like you. If you have an emotion like we. I always tell my kids, like, we communicate in this family. So if you feel that you have, you're okay to feel any emotion you want.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

That's all right. Be mad. You can be happy. You can be everything in between, any variety of that emotion. Emotion. But if you don't say how you feel, no one can help you.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

So amen. Just speak. Just use your words.

[Willie One Shelf]

Just pt6 or spent right now.

[Will Compton]

That's a good note. And I loved the game. I wrote it down. The if you can't talk about it that night, make sure you bring it up in the morning. I like that because it probably makes it feel very important to them that it's like, hey, dad has remembered. He's bringing it back up.

[Willie One Shelf]

[Willie One Shelf]

But yeah, you have a crack.

[Olipop Sponsor Representative]

Of course.

[Taylor Lawan]

1.

[Will Compton]

I do have a crack. A cold one. And then we gotta get into voicemails because we gotta keep it under an hour.

[Willie One Shelf]

I know. Time is flying.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

You know what that means?

[Taylor Lawan]

What are we at right now? Like 30 minutes maybe?

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, like 15.

[Taylor Lawan]

Okay, yeah, 30, 15.

[Willie One Shelf]

Give or take. But you know what this means, all this fun and excitement.

[Taylor Lawan]

What?

[Willie One Shelf]

This can't be the only time.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I know. Oh, I was thinking that too. I was like, I know.

[Willie One Shelf]

Once we get through this, there's a couple things I just want to ask you, but yeah, and we'll get there. We'll get there. But no matter what, we. I think we all know know the magic that's in the shockwave that's happening. Yes.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

They say for.

[Will Compton]

For time's sake, I'll skip my crack of cold one. I'll just dive into voicemails because I know we have some voicemails directed for Taylor.

[Willie One Shelf]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

So I want to make sure that we give some good time.

[Olipop Sponsor Representative]

Sure. They're technically not directed at Taylor. They are just three open voicemails. So if you would like to cut down on voicemails, there are none directed at him. So run the show as you would like.

[Taylor Lawan]

Can I. I know that I just kind of got to invite back, and I don't want to ruin it.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Really bad. Is it potty breaks.

[Willie One Shelf]

We. And you can talk about your crack a cold one. Okay.

[Will Compton]

Crack a cold one. Okay. So I'll. I'll segue crack a cold one into dad loss, because I actually had a really big dad loss. Like, a big one. Scarlett had her first boo boo, and it was on Dada's watch.

[Willie One Shelf]

Hey. And that is a tough pill to swallow, bro.

[Will Compton]

And, dude, it was really, really bad because Jill saw me on my phone five minutes before said boo boo happen happened. And I was not on my phone when, like, I will, dude. I cannot wait to get up to heaven and say that I was not on my phone. Like, I will. I will die. I will go to the grave. I was not on my phone. And I'm talking how I am right now to Jill as Scarlett's on her shoulder, and I'm going, honey, I was watching the whole time I could say. And she's like, check. Check your to tone. Check your tone. And I literally go. I go. I was watching the whole time. I was not on my phone. And started. I started sque. Scream whispering, dude, Because I was so defiant. I was like, I swear to God, I was on my phone. And Scarlett, basically what happened is she was. She's propping herself up very, very well. She's arching her back. She can like, kind of one hand a little bit and, like, get this hand going on a toy. And so I'm very loosely holding her top, like the back of her sweater. And I thought that I had her tight and this arm completely gives out, and she just nose dives into a hard toy. And it. Bro. As soon as she did it, there was a noise and, like, mom instinct. She had her back turned and was in the kitchen.

[Willie One Shelf]

What.

[Will Compton]

What happened happen? And I'm already picked up Scarlet Scarlet is going into the biggest. It felt like Dragon Ball Z where, like, Goku, like, charges up his thing like Scarlett was. And then it finally just came out. As soon as mom was, like, walking up, I'm like, oh, my God, it was.

[Willie One Shelf]

You just knew what time it was going to be, too. Since I saw you on the. The phone not too long ago.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah. Jill thought I was on my phone phone. I was telling them, I will go to my grave. I was not on my phone. I was watching Fair enough. And I got a little hot with Jill, and I was not on my phone. And anyways, a dad hack to come out of that. If your kid is going to daycare the next day, make sure to tell the daycare worker about said boo boo. So they don't think. If they don't see the boo boo when you come in, they don't go, oh, my gosh, did that happen on our watch? And then they're sitting there the whole day freaking out of, how do we tell Mr. And Mrs. Young. Young that, you know, yeah, this happened on our watch? So I had to very embarrassingly be like, hey, remember when y' all DM'd us that she needs wipers or wipes and diapers today? Forgot about those. And slash, guess what? She had her first boo boo last night on dad's watch. And it's right here and right there. They were like, thank you very much for letting us know. Blah, blah.

[Willie One Shelf]

I'm.

[Will Compton]

I'm kind of in the doghouse right now. It's okay. It's a panic. It's okay.

[Willie One Shelf]

It reminds me when I told this story, but. But when? Cause I got to tell it after the fact. But when Charl was out of town and Scotty fell off the first step, and it was. Remember, I was watching the final two minutes. I think of, like, maybe Mizzou, Kansas.

[Will Compton]

I forgot.

[Willie One Shelf]

And when it happened, I like, God, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. I'm like, yeah, she fell early when I'm on FaceTime with Charlie. And then the next week, I'm like, telling the story on for the dads, and I'm like, I was fucking watching football, you know, and you just feel. God, you just feel so shitty. Cause then when they're acting up that way, like having that Dragon Ball Z.

[Will Compton]

Kind of compulsion, just charging up the biggest cry.

[Taylor Lawan]

Nowhere to put it.

[Willie One Shelf]

So, fellas, yesterday, because Taylor called, checked in when he saw that the. The gas leak, that the slight gas leak, and shot up Piedmont. They got over no free shots of Piedmont, but they got. They got over pretty quickly and fixed everything.

[Will Compton]

Oh, nice.

[Willie One Shelf]

But we were like, I don't know what was happening. We were kind of checking the power outage situation and come to find out our service has not transferred over. Power still. Power was still out no matter what.

[Will Compton]

Oh, he never moved his AT&T.

[Willie One Shelf]

No, no, not the.

[Taylor Lawan]

He's talking about, like, power.

[Willie One Shelf]

NES was still at the old house. We didn't get it. We didn't get it transferred over. So it's still under the builder's name. I forgot how it came up.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

But again, I forget how it came up, but the ball's basically sitting in my hands because there's texts, there's exchanges, that I was the one responsible for transferring the power over from the old house to the new house, which is.

[Taylor Lawan]

The only place you don't ever want to be.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. And so I'm calling nes. Not about power outage, but I'm like, hey, can I need to tran. Transfer service over. I'm.

[Will Compton]

How long was that wait on a old.

[Willie One Shelf]

The. The problem was, is I couldn't find the account information and all of our. All of our information, like billing and all that with nes because it was connected to, like, my login and password is connected to my old email that just stopped working all of a sudden, like, a couple years ago. So I'm trying to find it. I'm like, son of a. I was like, I can't figure this out. And. And Charles, like, so you said that you were going to handle. Handle the electric because Charles trying to look through her stuff, figuring out, like, who. All the different parts of moving houses, like, who had what responsibility.

[Will Compton]

Oh, no.

[Willie One Shelf]

And I'm like, yeah, yeah, that one. It's solely on me. I said I was gonna do it on, like, December 22, just, you know, probably figured out, like, oh, I can't find the account information. I'll try and find it later then.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Fleeting.

[Willie One Shelf]

The brain, dad. Brain kicks. Kick the game down the road.

[Taylor Lawan]

CT6.

[Willie One Shelf]

CT6 kicks in and I just get lucky. Eventually, probably my third try, logging into NES through my old email, like, finally getting the password right. And I'm like, hey, got on the phone. Lady was awesome. They fix it. They get everything transferred over. Like, the old house is actually getting shut down today. The new one, it's getting transferred over today. That was a moment too, where I'm like, I won't.

[Will Compton]

I won't.

[Willie One Shelf]

I feel like Charles feeling it. I'm feeling it again. It's the latter part of the day where just all of the Obstacles that have just been coming through all the. The. The five days of the power outage and everything else going on with the house. And again, kids have just been in the house. School's been canceled all week long. Like, you swim. Any lesson. They're all canceled. The delivery stuff derailed. And I'm just. I feel it in Charl. And I'm just thinking to myself, oh, God, that was. That was a. That was like a. That was like a dad, husband law. That was a responsibility.

[Will Compton]

Yes.

[Taylor Lawan]

All of us.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Alone in that.

[Will Compton]

I have a dad.

[Willie One Shelf]

But it's like the thing, you know. You know, then the wifey's like, all right, let's do this. You hear the. The size every now and then. And maybe I'm making it up in my head because I don't want to put her on full blast right now, but I'm just thinking. Please don't. I'm thinking in my head, don't mention the electric to me again.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because I know this is all my fault.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

And I'm handling it. Yeah. You haven't handled it for the last few weeks. I'm handling it.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. Now it's getting handled. Don't matter what. It would happen a month ago.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

We're here now.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

We're getting it done.

[Will Compton]

That's the.

[Willie One Shelf]

Just, like, let somebody down. And you just know. It's all on you.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

And you're just like, yeah, you're already beating the. Out of yourself.

[Taylor Lawan]

Right.

[Willie One Shelf]

But when she comes down from. From bedtime, because I got to do Scotty. So I was done. First. She's up there with Rue. I get it figured out the rest of the way while she's up there with Rue. So that way, when she came down on my. A. Power transferred over. Got it taken care of.

[Will Compton]

Let's go.

[Taylor Lawan]

It's kind of like the. The power outages worked in your favor. It's like, hey, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

But then you do the retroactive thinking on. I needed to have this urgency. If I would have just had this urgency back when I needed to do it. This is my own war. This is my own self. Talking myself at this point, because I'm thinking I just caught a slight dub. Hey, it's all handled.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

You can relax.

[Taylor Lawan]

Right.

[Will Compton]

A very simple dad hack, by the way, with the nes or any water bill or anything. I cut out on the. When they mail it to you, I cut out the account number and I tape it to, like, somewhere where. You know where to find it. Like the inside of our pantry tree. And I Keep it there. And then I know whenever I need to check all my stuff, where my info's at, that is.

[Taylor Lawan]

That's a good hack.

[Willie One Shelf]

I think about things of that nature. And I just also think, like, I'm so dumb I'm gonna forget where I put whatever it is.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah, well. And the only time that Jill has ever threatened to leave me was when we came home to no power because I thought we were on auto pay, and we were not on auto pay, so our electricity was out. And she said, said if I ever come back to a home with you where the power is out because you forgot to pay the bill, I'm done. I said, no, taken. No, taken. What? Oh, done.

[Taylor Lawan]

88 and out the gate. Done.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, no, yeah, she said that and hit me with the apr. You said that, honey.

[Willie One Shelf]

She did. Or I'm done.

[Taylor Lawan]

Or I'm done.

[Will Compton]

Walked it out.

[Taylor Lawan]

Walked out of the room immediately. This whole thing.

[Willie One Shelf]

You'll be turning in your iPad tomorrow if you don't get this figured out.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I'm heated. We do need to get to voicemail. Yeah, yeah. This one is titled Just Wait until.

[Taylor Lawan]

Hey, guys, this is Dwayne Davis from Valdosta, Georgia, and I am in the trenches right now. But this call isn't really a. Or I guess it could be a crack of CO1 just for all the dads. My wife and I heard a million times the wait untils. Wait until they poop on your hand. Wait until they wake up. It was so frustrating hearing all that because we're six months in and we're still waiting because, yeah, we got shit on our hands. We're not sleeping. But it's the most awesome thing I've ever done. Such a huge calling and a blessing. But I heard a caller one time on the show say he couldn't wait for the kids to put themselves to sleep. And I agree with Will. What you said, man, was enjoy it. It's gonna go by so fast. So, yeah, everybody expecting or in the trenches. And you keep hearing people say, well, just wait until this or wait until that. Just tell them to go themselves.

[Will Compton]

It's all beautiful, man.

[Taylor Lawan]

Face cast. Keep fighting the good fight.

[Willie One Shelf]

Thank you, Dwayne.

[Will Compton]

Thank.

[Willie One Shelf]

Love that call in, cuz it's. I like, I agree with that. The whole wait until stuff like time goes by so fast. And I try to. It's like I even try to reserve myself when I'm talking about, you know, wait until they get to 16 months when the personality comes live or wait until they can walk. It's going to be so much better. This and that. I do my best to bite my tongue because it's so finite how long we get to be with the kids to where there are going to be times where you're missing little footsteps or you're missing having to go up in their room or whatever it is. It's just like, dude, do your best because it's impossible. Like, you're going to get frustrated all the time.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

But do your best to try and embrace all the moments because again, when it's gone, like, I talk about that digital frame that. That we have up in the house where you see all the old photos and this, that, the other, and you just miss them being little. I made the comment the other day. I'm like, I mean, I don't want Scotty to get any bigger because I just know them both now as rub being three, having long hair, having her personality, putting words and sentences, like, doing all this stuff, coming into her own and just kind of towering over Scotty right now. And Scotty's just, you know, a little one year old, and she's just got her little. Her little stance and stature where she just kind of, you know, rolls around the house, walks around, does her little stomp. There's like all her little things to where it's like, I don't want that to be gone. Yeah, I know there's better things that's going to come and all that's going to be awesome. But I just always like, I'm such a.

[Taylor Lawan]

Such a.

[Willie One Shelf]

We talk about all the time. We cry all the time now. I'm just such a sad boy when it comes to the kiddos growing up and getting out of this phase. This morning I was telling Rue, hey, Rude, do you remember how you say together? And she was butchering it. I'm like, no, you say to Dega. To Dega. Because she's like, to gayer. To Gayer together. But now she's like. Because she. She'll let me know that she says together and, like, rolls the th e.

[Will Compton]

R. She's got it down now. And I just missed.

[Willie One Shelf]

I miss the today guys. I just miss all those little words. So it is. It's like I'm with. Yeah. The whole, like, when people are like, oh, just wait until this or wait until that. It's like, yeah, I get you, but just embrace every moment that you have. Like, it's all. Every phase is going to be shitty. Every phase is going to have the ups and downs with it. But don't Rush it.

[Taylor Lawan]

It's old adage is like the days are long and the years are short.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Because it really is. Like there's days. You're just like, bro, if I could just get 20 minutes to myself to kind of recharge my batteries and get back to neutral, that'd be amazing. But at the end of the day, like every opportunity you take with your kids now is going to pay dividends in the future.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Just like rolling, rolling it. Like investing in a stock over and over again. Eventually it's going to be massive. It just depends how much you want to invest.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. Like that one day when you crack a cold beer with them or crack a cold lollipop and they're older and they're adults, those, those moments and memories are going to be incredible.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. Like I'm not, I'm not above saying that I'm not a huge fan of the diaper face. I'm not, I don't, Yeah, I don't, I don't, I'm not, I'm not into that. But like looking at my 8 year old now and remembering, like you see you talking about together and how they pronounce it. Like when, when she was really young, she would say a home. All the time talking about a home. A home. And she would give kisses, mouth wide open. And it was.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

You go to give her a kiss and then the lips would just go over yours. Like, I guess that's a kiss. And you think like you remember being in that moment, being so stressed with the situation. Situation. But then you like sit here now and I'm looking at her like when Wayne goes to bed now, I'll put Willow asleep and I'll go, and when. And I will just read. And she will, she has her book out. Like she's like these comic style books called Wings of Fire and she like will just read, she'll go in, I'll come home and she'll just be reading. Like we just like do things together. I'm like, yeah, like just wait till this.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

But then you get a moment where like literally last night we're telling, telling stories to the family that we that are staying with us because their power is out, they have no generator or not nothing. And I'm like, we're talking about 2019 when we were in California and Will Wynn was there and blah, blah, blah. And you start to look at old photos and you're like, dude, I missed that. I miss like how little and how they used to, the way they operated. But it's like, every phase, you got to embrace and enjoy as much as possible, because my next phase is dating, and I'm gonna kill.

[Willie One Shelf]

How much. How much, like, is it. Fear. Stuff goes on that in your mind that, like, the older they get, obviously the kids separate more from us, like, when they have their own friends and dad's not as cool because you're. You're getting, like, closer.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. There's already a phase of that going on in my household right now with Win. She's. She has friends over all the time. They always want to come over, whether it's like, Natalie Bates girl. She'll bring. She'll bring all the kids over, and they'll play the whole time. But, like, they're. They're still in the phase where, like, they want me to play, too. And if there's anything as a father that I can be, like, I'm really good at this. It's playing.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, you're an elite player.

[Taylor Lawan]

I will go into playing, and I'll be like, the next three hours of my life is just. This is what I'm doing. So I can go in there and play, and the kids can have fun with me. They enjoy being around me more because they'll know that I'll go do the things they want to do. But you see a win. Like, I'd have a conversation with Wynn one time.

[Willie One Shelf]

Time.

[Taylor Lawan]

It was, like, probably less than six months ago, and she told me. She's like, hey, dad, like, I feel kind of weird when you kiss me on the lips.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, man. And I'm like, my heart, dude.

[Taylor Lawan]

What do you mean? She's like, because you're a boy, and. Oh. She goes, well, you're a man. I'm like, you damn right. She's like, correct. I just feel like when, you know, when I'm with people and all that, like, maybe we do a kiss in the cheek now.

[Land.com Ad Read Announcer]

Now.

[Taylor Lawan]

And I told her. I was like, sweetie, I'll always be willing to kiss you. Like, give you a kiss and love you up. But whatever makes you feel comfortable and however you want this relationship to go, it's up to you, because eventually you're going to be. We have, like, the thing about Win and Willow's getting there, too, is, like, when is says very profound things at times, like, the way she. She's very observant and very aware, which is really cool to see. But, like, sometimes you just got to be like, yeah, man. All right, if you don't want me to kiss you in the lips anymore, that's perfectly Fine. So every day is a kiss in the cheek. Cheek now. And I haven't kissed her. We. I. We. We accidentally kissed in the lips like, a week ago. And everyone was like, oh. I was like, hey, my bad. Didn't mean to blah, blah. But it's just crazy. It's crazy, like, how things are changing and when so good about being aware of feeling the feeling of wanting to be around friends a little bit more. Like when I'm playing with my friends. Hey, can I play with my friends? Well, yeah, I'll fall back. No problem. And then she'll be like, all right, come. Come hang out now. But it's constant communication about it because we sit there in bed, dude. And I'll tell when I'll be like, dude, someday you're not going to want to hang out with me and Mom. Like, you're gonna. You. It's. She's like, why would you say that? I was like, it's just what happens.

[Willie One Shelf]

You're heartbreaking. Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. And I'm like, you're gonna. You're gonna want to, like, explore friendships, explore relationships, explore boys. Like, you're gonna learn about all these things, and mommy and daddy will. Will like, be like a lesson or then for a little bit. And our hope is that we create this foundation for you in a loving household to where you just eventually, like, come back around, because that's what happens when you go through puberty and all these things. And we talk about kissing, we talk about how it all works and relationships and that. And it's like, it's. It's very weird. It's weird, but it's, like, also fulfilling because a lot of kids like me. I don't know how you guys were. You kind of just found out about this stuff. Stuff watching tv.

[Will Compton]

Oh, big time.

[Taylor Lawan]

Or your friend would tell you about it. Like, you know all. Like all those things. And so with Wayne, it's like she's curious enough to ask me and mom questions about it. So I tell her, Tom, like Taylor's mom at a young age, she told. And this is Ms. Tana. She's an absolute queen. But she's like, hey, just so you know, boys will anything was like 12 years old. Yeah.

[Land.com Ad Read Announcer]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

She goes, they'll.

[Willie One Shelf]

Anything.

[Taylor Lawan]

They'll have sex with a pillow. They'll do this, they'll do that. Like, these are how. This is how boys operate. Like, they will just want to.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Now, the win. Win talks to me about kissing, but I have it when we talk about kissing, like, as, like, the talk, like, I might like, hey, listen, boys will tell you anything they can to get you to kiss them. And when you kiss them, there's going to be a level of, like, fulfillment that some boys don't want to stay around. But some boys be like, I want to kiss somebody else now to see if I like kissing them better. And that's just how it goes. And she asked me like, how many people have you kissed? I'm like, couple.

[Willie One Shelf]

You know, just your mom.

[Taylor Lawan]

Just your mother. No, no, I. I'm honest. I'm like, well, I'm not like, you know, honest, honest.

[Willie One Shelf]

No, no, I tell her I'm honest.

[Taylor Lawan]

I'm like, hey, I've kissed people. I've kissed other people. I've had girlfriends, blah, blah. She asked me about other girlfriends and why it didn't work and all these things. And she's like, learning about how to establish relationships. And she asked me, she's like, how do I know if I'm going to find the right person? I was like, can I just tell you how it universally works? And then it moves in a lot of different ways is you're gonna watch your mom and your mom. Your mom is going to show you how you should allow a man to treat you. So the way I treat your mom and the way your mom accepts the way I treat her is the way you're going to accept the way another man treats you. So that's going to help you find those borders. Your dad is going to show you what kind of man you should be with because you're around me more than anything anybody.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like, we.

[Taylor Lawan]

I am technically your. I am your first love. She gets all bashful. So we love each other. And I am the only man in your life that you see every single day. And you see the way I operate. You see how I talk to people. You see how I treat people. You see how I treat your mother, what I do for your mother, what I don't do for your mother, where the friction is. When every time me and Taylor has ever been in a fight, there's only been like two or three times in front of our kids. We make sure to have resolution in of front, in front of them, so they know that, like, you don't just fight and you move on. You have resolution. So I tell them, like, hey, you're going to look for qualities in a man that you marry based off of me, whether you kind of like that or not. And that is kind of like, that's how it's going to be. And it's. It's tough, dude. It's tough to have those.

[Will Compton]

Do you have a framework in your head right now of when you will allow her to start dating or like what you want dating to look like at all?

[Taylor Lawan]

Not really. Because if she's like me, it'll be whatever boundaries you put in front of me, I'm going to go across those boundaries.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And so it truly is just foundation and communication for me right now. And like you're going to be able to identify the not. Not good boys versus the good boys.

[Land.com Ad Read Announcer]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And like kind of helping her be like, this is how a. A not good boy acts. This is how a good boy acts. Ex. Your daddy's been both. Let me show you how they are. And we literally will role play these things with our hands. And I'll be like, boys do anything to kiss you. Like, well, how's that work? And I'll be like, hey, you trying to kiss? I'll be like, what do you like? And she's like, well, I like animals. I like being outside all this. And I'll be. I'll be the boy. I'll be like, I love animals. Do you love animals? Yeah. Oh, I love being outside. It's amazing. Can we hang out? Like, yeah, I'd love to hang out. Out. I'll see you tomorrow. Go to sleep. Come back.

[Land.com Ad Read Announcer]

Hey.

[Taylor Lawan]

So then he's keep talking like, can I kiss you? And she's like, well, no, I don't really. And I'll just go, I actually don't even like animals. And I'll walk away. Like, that's kind of how it goes.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Boys will tell you whatever you want to hear. You should get that kiss. And it's heartbreaking.

[Willie One Shelf]

I like the. I like the approach though, because again, you're like, if you feel boundaries, you'll. There are people out there that understand that mentality of the rebellious. Or I'm going to find and go over those boundaries.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

But it feels like too. It's like you can almost create the boundaries through all the foundational work of everything. So it's like almost the boundaries established. It's not like you're creating friction by being like, hey, here's the boundary.

[Taylor Lawan]

Right.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because I said so.

[Taylor Lawan]

The boundary is foundationally. We've said it.

[Willie One Shelf]

Right.

[Taylor Lawan]

I haven't said it, but we together, like father and daughter have set this boundary for us. And we know. And what I. One thing I've realized too is kids do so much better. My kids do so well with visual. Usually things like Dwin and Willow both want to, like, do more. They want to be more independent.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

So all those show up like, okay, this is you. This is your life. These are the things we allow you to do as parents. And this is you right in the middle. This Olipop. As you get older, this goes farther and farther. And if you go over here, I gotta bring it back here. And then they, like, see that now, like, okay, that's. This is the amount of freedom you have now. 9, 10, 11, 12. And the kids, that resonates with them for whatever. Whatever reason. The hand gestures, the talk, like, instead of just, like, telling them things, hitting them with a quote once in a while, that they're like, what the. What are we doing here with this quote, you ask?

[Willie One Shelf]

Let's break it down.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like using.

[Willie One Shelf]

Get the can.

[Taylor Lawan]

The puppet thing. Exactly. It's just crazy, man. Parenthood is so. So fulfilling, so scary because you think you're doing good, but you don't know you're doing good until you're done. And then they're like adults, so they become adult.

[Willie One Shelf]

And if they're. They're doing well or operating well, people speak well of them.

[Taylor Lawan]

And how do you measure, measure them doing well? Is it a successful job? Is the relationship they have? Is the friends they have around them? Is it because they want to be around you? Like, what are the things that make you a successful parent?

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And it's kind of. It's terrifying. But every day, if you, like, have that approach, it's like, now you're taking care of the little things.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

You're not as annoyed at the end of the night.

[Willie One Shelf]

Have you. Have you thought about what your first combos or anything will be like with the first boy that comes to the house in taking, say, takes win on a date?

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, Lots.

[Willie One Shelf]

How does it go?

[Will Compton]

God bless that boy.

[Taylor Lawan]

What's the movie with 50 cent when the guy comes over to take his girl to proms.

[Willie One Shelf]

Dead of thieves. Yeah. Where he take all those.

[Taylor Lawan]

Like, now we've been raising.

[Willie One Shelf]

You got the bad boys.

[Taylor Lawan]

This is your response. Exactly. I thought about that. I thought about, like, they're walking out the door and, hey, buddy. John. Let's call him John John. He looks back at me and I toss a shotgun shell at him. I go. Comes a lot faster after 10pm Something like that. Like, hit him with a bar. But it's also 20, 26. So, like, can you do that? Hey, Taylor, the one tried to kill me or threatened to kill me.

[Willie One Shelf]

What did we had a PT Sixer write in One time saying that whenever, say they have to be home by nine.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Nine o'.

[Will Compton]

Clock.

[Willie One Shelf]

Rolls around to where the car's pulling in. Dad's just outside doing oh yeah. Chores around the house. You know the guy know like you're not going to be able to sit in the driveway very long.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, I like that.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, they're a little too long. You're out there just like raking.

[Will Compton]

Hey, what are we doing snowing outside?

[Willie One Shelf]

You're raking snow.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, it's a. Yeah. I guess I really haven't thought of how that conversation because it was the sit down. Like what are your intentions of my daughter?

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

But I like to be more like I don't care if they like me or not, but I, I want them to know how involved I am in my daughter's life.

[Willie One Shelf]

Right. Right.

[Taylor Lawan]

And so I guess it's like figuring out a way to land that plane that I haven't really dove too much into. Hopefully have a few more years.

[Willie One Shelf]

Like maybe I've thought about maybe just like putting a montage video together of all the father daughter moments and just sitting there and as he's watching you start to cry like as, as he's watching the video and you just let him know like she's been my, my responsibility my entire life. She's gonna go and get in the car with you and now she's about to be your responsibility. It almost makes me terrible.

[Taylor Lawan]

You were talking, I'm like, God, I.

[Willie One Shelf]

Told Will legitimately, like, hey, when she talks about seatbelt, anything going on, her instinct is. Is been navigated by her being our responsibility her entire life.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

And now she's going to go in your vehicle because you have a seat belt story. I think you dated.

[Will Compton]

I was. Well, she's going to go in your.

[Willie One Shelf]

Vehicle and now she's going to be your responsibility. And the not. I don't know if it's pain, whatever you revolve to bring that back around but hopefully you just make the gentleman feel. Feel that they're now taking out like the most important thing in the world.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

There's an element of pressure that is.

[Will Compton]

A good dad hack. As far as like I wasn't dating said girl, but I had a father, essentially one. He got my number without asking me for my number. So that was a little jarring. And then also just told me essentially what Will said of like hey, she's 17 years old. She's. She's gotten here because of me. Like I am the reason that she is here. She is now in Your vehicle. So anything that happens from that point on, that's because of you. And he never threatened me or anything, but he was like, my daughter's safety is in your hands. I need both hands on the steering wheel. And that just let me know with her. Like, hey, if you're. And I wasn't looking to date her, but I was like, whoever's dating that girl, like, they're going to be on their P's and Q's because Dad's letting them know, yeah, I'm on my P's and Q's, so you better be, too, buddy.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Which I liked it, like, it was.

[Willie One Shelf]

Cool to get them to, like, respect their instinct. Like, if you're out at a. Wherever you're at, there's a little maybe discomfort, or you ask a question, and you might see a little double take or a pause, like, trying to get them to feel or respect what that instinct is. I don't. I don't know. It's something that I. I feel like all dads sit there and juggle on. Like, man, what's it going to be? Like?

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, when that first boy knocks at the door, I love Mr. L. It's like, oh, what?

[Willie One Shelf]

I know your game, pal.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, yeah. Mr. Lean. Yeah, sit your ass. I think it's just. I don't know. With our kids, we are extremely blunt. Like, we try to be as clear as possible about every situation, whether it's them understanding the concept of death. Like, when Taylon's grandmother died, like, it wasn't like, well, she went. It's like, hey, she is gone, and we're all going to miss her, and we're all out to feel these emotions, but, like, she can't come back because that's what it is. And with them and dating, it'll be the same thing. Like, boys, I. I will tell you, win. Listen, they're gonna try to. You. I know it's crazy to say, and it's kind of like.

[Willie One Shelf]

But once they're at that age, they're here.

[Taylor Lawan]

Like, if you're. If you're 16 years old, it's like, dude, this is the reality. And like every boy.

[Willie One Shelf]

And you're basically letting them know. Like, I. I speak the language you hear about.

[Taylor Lawan]

Right, Right. I've. I've been down this road of, like, trying to date a girl, and with hormones in the way they are, like, this is how they're all going to think. They're all gonna think like, my kids. Kids both like their mother. They're both going to be very Beautiful girls. And that sucks. But it's also nice and it's like, understand your beauty is not your identity. That, to me, is one of the biggest things.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. When the. When those. When the dads come up to you that you might just be acquaintances or just meet out and about out in the wild, and they just come up there like, you. Are you a girl dad? They see that you're two girls, and they're like, good luck, buddy.

[Will Compton]

Know, I hate to. To cut it short because we are past Will's cut off officially by 10 minutes. Would we want to go into our lesson of the week?

[Willie One Shelf]

Do we have any other themes? Hang on, let me look here. Oh, here we go.

[Taylor Lawan]

The notes.

[Willie One Shelf]

Go to kid snack.

[Will Compton]

O, yes.

[Willie One Shelf]

Go to kid snack.

[Taylor Lawan]

This is not going to be like. This is not going to be one that everyone's like, oh, yeah, for sure. But jerky. Yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Mature palette.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Maybe. Maybe back in the day, is there was there, like a go to snack that you're like, I need it. We need to make sure we have this because ours. Ours right now, it feels like is applesauce. It's got to be the cupped applesauce. Can't be the squeeze anymore. We're too old for the squeezes now.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yes. By the way, we got.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Go to the go to snack is like yogurt, honey granola. Like, that's.

[Willie One Shelf]

That's. That's the one, bro. That's the breakfast.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. Staple. And it's like, I'm hungry. I want this. And we got all the Taylon. Dylan does not care about designer bags. She doesn't care about nice vehicles. She doesn't care about jewelry. She cares about quality of food. That is Taylon.

[Willie One Shelf]

That's.

[Taylor Lawan]

That's Taylor's, like, number one thing. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

She would joke. She, like, even when I would have, like, $80 to my name, I'd spend more than half of it on a good steak. Like that.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Like, that's. I love what she cares about. She dresses essentially. If you see me, like, she's the girl version of how I dress. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Every time you see her same outfit?

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, yeah, same. Exactly. And so she's, like, big on, like, preparing snacks, having the best. If you're going to have, like, bagged, like, essentially processed snack. It's like, got to be no seed oil, no this, no that.

[Will Compton]

Like, perfect.

[Taylor Lawan]

Perfect. And so. But jerky for us is like, our kids are. We cut it. Jason cuts it, and then we put it in a dehydrator season that.

[Will Compton]

Oh, y'. All are doing your own jerky.

[Taylor Lawan]

Own jerky tail. And cans her own peaches. She cans her own tomatoes.

[Will Compton]

That's so sick.

[Taylor Lawan]

During the summertime. So we have like a whole like backstock of everything.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

We have bees. So we have over £200 every single year. So Taylor is. She's dialed.

[Willie One Shelf]

We still have a lot of colors. Yeah, a lot of good colors in the page. Love that.

[Taylor Lawan]

Go to snack.

[Willie One Shelf]

Breast milk in or out. And.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Tasting it.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, you see his hat right now?

[Taylor Lawan]

Come on now.

[Will Compton]

Come on, man.

[Willie One Shelf]

I'm just trying to make sure, you know, I took a couple back in the day.

[Taylor Lawan]

What's it called when they first. What's it called? Colostrum. Yeah, yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Throw it in some coffee.

[Taylor Lawan]

That's got a little something extra to it. No.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

If it's good for kids in development, why can't it be good for a 34 year old?

[Will Compton]

Come on, man. Let's go get a little cow colostrum.

[Willie One Shelf]

Our brains are still developing.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah, no doubt.

[Willie One Shelf]

We need to rebuild our brains a.

[Taylor Lawan]

Little bit to have it.

[Will Compton]

Get a little sheep colostrum. Cow colostrum.

[Taylor Lawan]

I will say I've never tasted it.

[Will Compton]

Oh, you have it. Oh, breast milk or colostrum?

[Taylor Lawan]

Both.

[Will Compton]

Okay.

[Taylor Lawan]

Both.

[Olipop Sponsor Representative]

Okay.

[Willie One Shelf]

I never took a couple sips. Yeah, I took a couple sips. It's really not that bad. And even doing that, I felt like, oh, man.

[Taylor Lawan]

I don't think I ever intentionally.

[Willie One Shelf]

Because one of my old neighbors, he's like, bro, you got to drink the breast milk. He's big on bro. He matter of fact, he was so far on it to where he's like, if you have any left over, I'll take it. No, I'm telling you.

[Will Compton]

He said Charl was standing there or sorry, jar was standing there when he. Right.

[Olipop Sponsor Representative]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Is that the story? I'm like, that's bald dude.

[Willie One Shelf]

Found the youth. He's like, I'm telling you. I'm telling you, dive in. I think there. I think there is a lot of like science. Yeah, there's a lot of science or something on it.

[Taylor Lawan]

That's a true MT Sicko.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Crazy.

[Willie One Shelf]

But some people are about it, like, good for them. Some people about it. So you've never tried it?

[Will Compton]

It didn't taste bad? No. Is my note maybe on the. Come on.

[Willie One Shelf]

So slip up and say something.

[Taylor Lawan]

I know. And I think it's a good time because we are running over your time that you do have to leave. You guys know this. You guys know this in the back. I. I did lie at the beginning of this podcast, I said, I've only been through buds twice.

[Will Compton]

He did.

[Taylor Lawan]

I've now been through buds three times. And I am having a third child.

[Willie One Shelf]

Let's go.

[Taylor Lawan]

I thought this would be the most fitting place to announce it to the world.

[Olipop Sponsor Representative]

Let's go.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yes.

[Willie One Shelf]

So do we go any farther?

[Taylor Lawan]

Oh, you want to talk about the gender?

[Will Compton]

I just. I, you know, want to talk about.

[Taylor Lawan]

The gender of my young boy that I'm. Now I did get. I did. Now I did hear something really scary. We were waiting on. We got to do the genetic testing.

[Willie One Shelf]

Okay.

[Taylor Lawan]

And then I'll. It'll confirm that it's a boy.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

But everything I've seen on that ultrasound, buddy, we got. We got ourselves a boy on our hands.

[Willie One Shelf]

All right, what is it?

[Will Compton]

The curse is broken.

[Taylor Lawan]

Allegedly.

[Will Compton]

Allegedly.

[Taylor Lawan]

Allegedly. Because there were some things that scared me since I've told you guys about it, where they're like, hey, you got to make sure the 20 week thing and then you dial that in, then we'll know for sure.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Could be. This could be just swollen labia. I'm thinking that's a big ass labia.

[Willie One Shelf]

What was the movie? 40 year old version.

[Taylor Lawan]

You sure you don't use it? You lose it?

[Willie One Shelf]

No, no. Where he's got. He's got the, like, ultrasound on the tv. Like, look at his dick.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah. Is that not his foot? That ain't a foot.

[Taylor Lawan]

That ain't no foot. Yeah, yeah, he got a big dick. But if it is actually a boy, which I'm 95. Sure it is. I can't wait, man. So excited to find out what it's like. I told. I've told Taylon. I'll have a minute. I'll have as many kids as you want. This is. This is in the beginning, but if we have two girls, I'm done. I've been around too many guys that have chased the boy over and over again. Then she's like, hey, maybe we should have another one. I don't feel like we're, like, finished yet. Yeah, I'm like, kind of in, then I pull back out. And then I'm like, you know what? Maybe we will. So I was playing this toxic relationship style. Cat, mouse game, little cat and mouse game. Not a fun game for Taylor to play. Finally I'm like, okay, let's do it.

[Will Compton]

And you asked me to put a PowerPoint together one time.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Because I was like. Because I eventually went to Taylor, I was like, we gotta have another kid. And the conversation stem from Us being on the bus whenever. All you guys got a bully move. And I called Taylor. Yeah, I called Taylor.

[Willie One Shelf]

You're never gonna be mad.

[Taylor Lawan]

I guess we have a third. I guess we have the third. She's like, I'm not gonna have a third. Because you guys just. If you want to have one, you need to, like, prove it to me.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. Put the ball back in record again.

[Taylor Lawan]

So I went to Sherman. I was like, we might have to make a PowerPoint of why we didn't have a third.

[Will Compton]

But all the cute that you and Jill have gone through.

[Taylor Lawan]

We're having a third child. My kids will be nine and six when this one is born. Come on. Scary, but also kind of fired up about that.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, dude.

[Taylor Lawan]

Cuz both of them are very. They're very, like, great with other. Each with young kids. Like, Rue, for example, when she comes over. When. And Willow will come over, grab her hand, take her upstairs. Like, they've all done so good with little kids. That's a lot.

[Willie One Shelf]

And they're girls, too. Like, if it's boys, like, I'm six years older than Wyatt. I don't feel like I was that, you know, nurturing.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

That's like an older brother, six years old. But it feels like girls, dude, they just. They're different, man.

[Taylor Lawan]

I've legit looked at one in the eyes, but you're raising this one.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

I'm here to hang. Like, you need something for me, let me know. But I'm falling back.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah. Like, you know, I don't do the diaper face. You know, we're gonna have to get.

[Taylor Lawan]

You some training, buddy.

[Will Compton]

Bro, when's gonna crush it? That's one thing.

[Taylor Lawan]

Willow, too, man. Like, yeah, that's the crazy thing, too, is wins. Like, I don't know. I don't know if you are gonna feel this way, but, like, when all the first. Her first are my first as well. Like, seeing them walks in them talks.

[Will Compton]

Yes.

[Taylor Lawan]

It's more like. It's like, oh, awesome. Willow. She's walking. Oh, awesome, she's talking. But it wasn't like, it wasn't the first.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

So it feels like she's kind of getting a little overshadowed a little bit. And so we've recently been like, look how great Willow is. All things Willow's doing. Because Willow's, like, way more developed at 5 than win was. And we tell women, hey, let's just listen. Your sister might be a damn genius.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And it's just interesting how, like, the second one works. And now I'm having a Third, how.

[Willie One Shelf]

Does this one work? And you can almost kind of foresee a little bit like, the. The middle child stuff, because, again, all the. First. With the first. First one, then you got in your situation, Willow. And then the baby's gonna come in.

[Taylor Lawan]

Right.

[Willie One Shelf]

And it's like the baby's gonna be catered to when Willow is the one being catered to a lot of the time because they were the baby for a while.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

And then this kind of middle child stuff formed because they're not experiencing the first of everything. They now have the awareness to be like, oh, Win's going through all the first of these things.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Now I got somebody younger than me that all the entire world's around this baby right now.

[Will Compton]

The age gap. Will. Will benefit. Like, I. I think it will help.

[Taylor Lawan]

Like, two girls are like. And, like, when. And Willa. They're great. That' they love playing. And so, like, they can go do the thing all day. And great about bringing her along even when her older friends are there. Who's older than Win. Win's like, come on, Willow. She does a good job of being.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

All the time, but she does a good job of it. So, Will, it's like being intentional about, like, there's. Hey, by the way, like, you're as much a part of this family as anybody. Like, you want to juice them up a little bit without, like, being too babying.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And so it'll be. It'll be an interesting dynamic for sure. But you're very aware of, like, oh, I understand why they're the middle child. You know.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

Stigma kind of comes up a little bit for sure. Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

Fired up, bro.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. I'm.

[Willie One Shelf]

I. Dude, got you a little. Little offspring coming.

[Will Compton]

I did say.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

You know what I'm saying?

[Will Compton]

I said broke the curse earlier. I do just want to put out there. That is not. That's not a bad thing. It's just an inside joke at the office that if you work at bus in that you will only have a girl is become a joke. Is not a curse.

[Taylor Lawan]

Do you have. Jill understands that.

[Willie One Shelf]

Oh, it's not a curse.

[Will Compton]

Not a curse to have girls.

[Taylor Lawan]

Having girls is the best because I've been around.

[Willie One Shelf]

Inside guide joke.

[Will Compton]

Inside bus and guide.

[Willie One Shelf]

Takes a man to make a man. You ain't making a man.

[Will Compton]

Come on, Willie, what you got?

[Taylor Lawan]

The girls. The girls are like, I've been around a bunch of boys, young boys, psychopaths, fit for a straight jacket. They.

[Willie One Shelf]

They.

[Taylor Lawan]

They don't have a swim, but they jump at the deep end. Yeah. What are we doing? Yeah, and I do love, like, like Instagram parent stuff. When, like that has a slow mo. Like a kid. A guy pretending to be a kid. It's like when a kid sees a corner and they just like dive head first. That shit's hilarious to me. I'm like, that's. Yeah, that's a boy right there.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

So get him a helmet. Let him roll.

[Will Compton]

Okay, topic quote, lesson of the week.

[Willie One Shelf]

There's one I found speaking of dad stuff on Instagram. This one comes from a level up dad. This is a little. This could be a tear jerker. Okay, try to keep lock in over, under. Lock under right now.

[Taylor Lawan]

Are we trying not to cry here?

[Willie One Shelf]

I don't think so. I just. I have no clue where my feelings start going when I'm reading something. Okay, one. One day they won't run to the door when I walk in and I won't know it was the last time. No little footsteps racing down the hallway. No shouts of dad's home echoing through the house. Just quiet. The kind that reminds you how fast it all went. The toys will all be packed away. The messes will be gone. The bedtime stories will turn into phone calls that come less and less. So while they still run to you, drop your bag, get on the floor and soak it in. Because one day you'll miss the chaos more than you can imagine. Don't rush these days. They're the ones you'll wish you could run back to.

[Will Compton]

It's a good one that goes with the call in.

[Taylor Lawan]

I hate that one.

[Willie One Shelf]

I want to say. Yeah, all this stuff we're talking about with your kiddos being older.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

It's like, dude, yeah, that is a nightmare thought. Yeah, dude, I watched a parent trap the other day with my kids and I cried during that.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, brother. Anything now?

[Will Compton]

Movies are hitting different for me and I only six months in when.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah, just wait until they get the tour.

[Taylor Lawan]

Who's that? Because I do it to you all the time.

[Willie One Shelf]

I know. It's never like. It's never like. It's never like, wait until this. It's like awesome moments you're talking about. It's never like the way this guy's talking. Oh, yeah, wait until you have to clean up this or you don't know, bro.

[Taylor Lawan]

There's a piece of me too that's like. Because my kids are so much older. Older than your kids. I'm just like. I feel like I'm like passing something down. I. I feel like a sense of like, hey, this Is gonna be. Yeah, this is gonna be awesome. And you tell me stories about room. Like, man, I remember that face.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

And it's like, it's just really, it's.

[Willie One Shelf]

Really cool because you think too like as a parent, you know, for the most part, like between the ages of like what, 04, they probably won't remember a whole lot of.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

So in my brain I almost feel like it's like whether it's like a spiritual thing or universal thing, that the first few years they're on the earth, like for us to enjoy as tough and as hard as it is, like as parents. Yeah. They're like in, they're like in the world for you to soak in and enjoy more so than you know, you get to the spots where you enjoy more when they are older and they can communicate with you better and you're having more fun with them and just like not trying, trying my best, like not lose sight of that. Like when it is, you know, you're getting stir crazy in the house and you're like, man, they just need you all the time. When they're a 3 year old and especially the one you year old, they just need you all the time. Which can like weigh on you, especially when you start going back and forth with the wife a little bit or you can just feel the chaos kind of taking all of us in one moment.

[Will Compton]

That's the toughest battle for me. And y' all brought it up earlier with like the diaper stage is I, I really do find myself after a long day of work. I'm doing that final diaper change, that final bottle and I am powering through it. I, I am going as fast as possible to get her down as fast as possible. And I truly do have to remind myself of like, dude, take your time and enjoy that. Like she is so happy right now.

[Willie One Shelf]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

She's not even crying or they wake.

[Willie One Shelf]

Up, she's smiling, wake up in the middle.

[Taylor Lawan]

You're the yourself. Thank God she's not crying. Like, I get this baby to sleep.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I got it.

[Taylor Lawan]

Oh man, this be a good bedtime.

[Willie One Shelf]

They're crying in the middle of the night and you're kind of like playing a weird little game with the wife. Like, can I just pretend to sleep right now? Like, is she going to get up quicker? Is she going to nudge me? Am I going to, you know.

[Taylor Lawan]

Oh, buddy.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I wake up sometimes.

[Taylor Lawan]

Like I, I personally believe no one can sleep like me. We have alarms go off, hey, you got get up.

[Will Compton]

Make a little sleep. Talking too. Just to like really sell it.

[Willie One Shelf]

Hey, boys. Great so.

[Taylor Lawan]

Hey. I. Great. So I really appreciate you guys having me on. I know literally the bus is right there.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

I'm not like, I'm not around it.

[Willie One Shelf]

But appreciate you guys having me into my building. Yeah.

[Taylor Lawan]

It is really cool to see you guys like, like build this. I see how fast it's growing. Be a part of it in this, this one episode. Would love to do it again with you guys.

[Will Compton]

Yes.

[Taylor Lawan]

This is truly awesome. And you're doing like. You see the comments. Like the community is growing and it's like a therapy session.

[Willie One Shelf]

It's been fun, bro.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah.

[Willie One Shelf]

But this is. You got to do more. It's like I'm upset that I have to same. Cuz we could literally go for four hours.

[Will Compton]

I was thinking the same thing and.

[Willie One Shelf]

Just asking him questions since he's got. Yeah, he's got the older ones.

[Taylor Lawan]

I want. I want to ask you guys, like, yeah, this could be a three hour podcast. Let's do it again soon.

[Willie One Shelf]

We have to. You'll be. You'll be almost getting re entered. You'll be having to go back in time and get reintroduced. Yeah. The things you're. Oh, I kind of forgot about that.

[Will Compton]

Oh, dude. Yeah. With baby boy coming too.

[Taylor Lawan]

The diaper. Call me a bad person.

[Willie One Shelf]

I don't like BT6. Don't do that.

[Taylor Lawan]

Yeah. No, no, no.

[Willie One Shelf]

What's the emoji?

[Will Compton]

What is the emoji? What should we do? Well, let's do. Let's do a. A blue heart for a little baby boy.

[Willie One Shelf]

Blue heart. That was. We go.

[Will Compton]

Blue heart emoji.

[Taylor Lawan]

I love it.

[Willie One Shelf]
