[02:06–04:09]

• Will and Derek promote a holiday charity drive to support Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital in Nashville.
• Multiple ways to give: directly via the website (bwtb.com) or by purchasing merch (10% of net proceeds donated and matched by the podcast).
• Memorable Moment:

  "We're going to be hand delivering toys to those kids at the hospital here in the next couple weeks. That's going to be another fun opportunity." – Will [04:09]

2. Welcome to For The Dads: What the Show Is About

[04:27–06:01]

• The podcast is for dads (and moms!), focused on sharing unfiltered parenting stories and lessons from non-experts.
• Will and Derek encourage audience engagement: hotline (601-THEDADS), email, and active social media.
• Both hosts share their kids’ ages, highlighting the range of relevant parenting experiences.

3. The Daily Dad Battle: Morning Chaos at Home

[06:01–14:13]

• Both hosts share unvarnished play-by-play accounts of their typically hectic mornings—missed alarms, cranky kids, forgotten routines, and messy kitchens.
• Derek describes comforting his daughter Rue at 1:30 am and waking up late after his wife does a 6 am workout.

  “That's a prime example of, like, you needed that sleep. As much as you might be angry at yourself. Like, your body was like, yo, I need rest.” – Will [10:06]

• Parenting means managing small disasters (lunches, snacks, emotional meltdowns, spilled food).

  “Just say it out loud. Say, good, good, good.” – Derek [13:15]

  • Running joke of “good, good” as embracing chaos with acceptance.

4. Accountability, Missed Texts, and Teamwork Failures

[14:34–15:01]

• Banter about group “accountability” texts that never really materialize.

  “Chalk it up to me not texting you this morning that, yes, we need to be better as a team.” – Will [15:01]

5. The “No One’s Coming to Save You” Mentality

[17:49–23:16]

• Will recounts a solo-parenting night, his wife falling ill, taking over every “default mom” task (bottles, daycare prep, carpet cleaning after the dog gets locked in a room and pees everywhere).
• Dad hack: Using a baby wipe to stimulate a sleepy baby to finish her bottle [20:05].
• Reminder:

  “No one's coming to save you. And that's just a—a day at the office.” – Will [23:07]

• Both hosts reiterate: parenting is about showing up when your number's called, with no backup.

6. Community Engagement & Reader Comments

[23:18–29:48]

• The hosts read and riff on listener comments—stories about Disney chaos, sick kids, and outrageous parenting fails (including dogs eating kids’ poop).

  “Keep up the Good Work Pt 6. This show truly was a game changer for me.” – Eli McCarthy, listener [23:41]

• Shout-outs to fans like Layman (“Nanny called in sick today. Good.”), and new-dad shout-outs (including MLB bullpen catcher Tim Reams, asking for advice).

7. When Dad’s Number is Called – The 'Bullpen' Analogy

[28:08–36:42]

• Will gives advice to new dad Tim Reams: treat parenting like being a bullpen catcher—you have to be ready to step in when needed, with no drop-off.

  “There should be no drop off if you want to be a big leaguer. There's no drop off when your number gets called.” – Will [30:08]

• Emphasis on the reality of 'starter goes down,' next man up!
• Derek notes: As kids get mobile, chaos and dangers multiply (oven knobs, cabinets, water bowls on the floor).

8. Marriage Banter and the Art of Subtext

[37:13–45:17]

• The boys dissect the indirect communication styles between husbands and wives (subtweets, hints, not-so-subliminal requests).

  “That’s called an out-loud subtweet from your wife.” – Will [41:37]

  • Wives want you to just know; men want clear instructions.
  • Solution: Awareness, teamwork, taking hints—and sometimes just saying, “good, it’s my time.”

9. Learning and Growing as Dads

[45:23–66:50]

• Shout-outs to new dads, birthday celebrations (daughter turning two), and families about to welcome new babies.
• Extended bit about the never-ending need to help, take responsibilities in stride, and not avoid the less glamorous parenting tasks.
• The babysitter dilemma: How to find, vet, and onboard reliable childcare, and the emotional and logistical hurdles both parents encounter.

  “We need a Rolodex of one to two babysitters that you feel like you can trust and call and that, you know, you’re hoping that they would be available in a pinch.” – Will [61:49]

  • Debates over whose job it is to source a babysitter.

  “If you find a babysitter and you trust said babysitter? I trust you.” – Derek [64:27]

10. Community Voicemails & Dad Hacks

[79:14–91:25]

• Voicemails cover everything from how to make bath time meaningful (“what do I do with my 18-month-old during bath time?”) to Christmas tree baby-proofing strategies.

  “I'm picturing Tim just set the kid in the bathtub, and he's just kind of sitting there looking at her, just thinking, what do I do here?” – Derek [81:06]

  • Recommendations: playful interaction, singing, making bath time about bonding, not productivity.
  • Dad Hack: Waterproof bath books, slow-pouring water for sensory play.
• Christmas tree survival tips:
  • Try indestructible ornaments or a separate kid-friendly tree.
  • If all else fails, embrace the chaos: "Good, good, good."

• Will and Derek are refreshingly vulnerable about their own shortcomings and vulnerabilities–there are no Instagram-perfect households here, just real life.
• Humor and the repeated “good, good” mantra serve as comic relief and coping strategy—a signal to accept imperfection and keep moving.
• The For The Dads community is strong and deeply engaged, with the hosts highlighting and amplifying their fans’ voices wherever possible.

You’ll walk away with these lessons:

• Your parenting fail isn’t uniquely catastrophic—everyone’s living the chaos.
• There’s always a practical or funny hack to try (or at least someone to commiserate with).
• When life hands you the “next man up” moment, it’s your time to shine—no one’s coming to save you, but together, you and the community can get through it.

Fantasy football can be exhausting. I mean that literally. You're so anxious over your lineup you can't fall asleep. Best way to deal with it is unisom. There's a reason it's the number one doctor recommended over the counter sleep aid brand. It helps you fall asleep faster, wake up less and feel refreshed in the morning. Plus, unisom sleep tabs are clinically tested and proven, effective and completely non habit forming. So make the ultimate sleeper pick and put it to bed with unisom. Use as directed.

[Derek]

PT Sickos One last reminder before we get into this episode. Something that is near and dear to our hearts, something that is super important to us for the dads is teaming up with Vanderbilt Children's Hospital this Christmas season.

[Will]

Yes we are Monroe Carroll Jr. Children's Hospital here in Nashville, Tennessee. And we would love to invite you to also give.

[Derek]

And again, man, we just talk about our ups and downs, highs and lows of fatherhood with our wives. I showed up about 30 minutes late today. That's okay.

[Will]

That's okay.

[Derek]

Well, your boy was in. Your boy was in it a little bit. I was, I was, I was backed into a corner this morning.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Slept a little bit longer than I thought I would. Wife wakes me up at 7 o'.

[Will]

Clock.

[Derek]

She had a workout at 6 in the morning and I'm kind of. I thought I had my Alarm set for 6:20, I believe.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

And don't remember hearing it or feeling it waking up. And so a couple things.

[Will]

Did you have a true blood rush type wake up like a. Oh, what time is it?

[Derek]

No, she woke me up and she's like, good morning, sweetheart. Look what I made you. And it was an, it was an, it was an ice latte, bro. An ice latte. Like my wife's getting up, working out at 6 in the morning. She asked me last night, fire was going, lights are up inside. I hope all your Christmas lights are up. The vibes are, are high in the Compton household, especially in the evening time when you got just the Christmas ambiance going.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

And she asked last night, can I go work out at 6 in the. Absolutely. Of course you can. She's like, I'll probably be back around seven, help get everything rolling. I'm like, I gotta hit for the dads. I gotta hit. Our podcast. Podcast starts at 8. We usually rock between 8, 8:15. Yeah.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

So I have to get out of the house by 7:45. And I'm thinking in my head, she's gonna get up and roll. I'm gonna get up early and get knockout lunch. Make Ruse Quesadilla. Do a little something different than breakfast. Quesadilla, not breakfast quesadilla. For lunch. She loves. You know how she loves her peppinonis for everybody in there, out there, tuned in. Rue loves her pepperonis, or peppinoni, she.

[Will]

Likes to call them, God bless her.

[Derek]

And so I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna knock lunch out, I'm gonna knock all the things out. So that way, when Charles walks in the door, I'm in the middle, basically on the tail end of having morning routine done for school and everything else. Then we'll both go up together to wake up the kids. To wake up Scottzilla and Rue. Yes. Didn't happen. So last night, middle of the night, 2132 in the morning, I hear on the monitor Rouge crying. She said, usually Charles the one who hears first, dad second. But I hear Charl picking it up. And I just hear Rue. She's not crying loudly, but kind of like maybe she had a bad dream and she's just sad. And so I'm like, oh, I'm gonna get up and go up there. Comforter and everything else. So get, you know, wake up 1:30 in the morning.

[Will]

Good, good.

[Derek]

Hey, let's get on the dad hat. Let's get upstairs. Let's go. Let's go be a hero tonight and go and lay in bed with her and like, sweetheart, what's going on? Why are you sad? And she just talks about missing Mama. So I'm thinking in my head like, she probably had a bad dream, woke up, is just missing Mama. Well, Mama's downstairs sleeping right now. She. We want to let her get some rest. Do you mind if dad lays with you? And she's like, yeah, that's okay. So I'm thinking, all right, now I'm gonna. I'm gonna have to lay up here for a little bit to make sure she gets back to sleep.

[Will]

Good, good.

[Derek]

Let's have a. Let's be a hero, let's be a hero hero ball. Yeah. Do you want that snuggle with you? And she, like, shakes her. Yes. And we just sit there and snuggle. Bas falls asleep. So I go back downstairs. It's probably 2:15 in the morning at this point. Get back to bed, make sure my Alarm's set for 6:20. And so apparently my wife wakes up, she goes to work out. I don't remember her getting up, and I missed my alarm. 6:20. Good, good, good. Sleeping good. Be. Be husband, be dad right now. Wife comes over, just. You don't want to get woken up any other way.

[Will]

She has no idea what you were doing at 1:32 o', clock, though.

[Derek]

No, when I woke up, I told her my age. She's like, no, I didn't hear. She said, usually I'm the first one to hear, well, yeah, maybe you.

[Will]

Not last night.

[Derek]

Yeah, I was the hero last night. But how else you want to be woken up? I'm woken up with a good morning smell. Look what I made you. She's holding the ice latte in her hand from the espresso machine. We get up and I'm rolling. And then I realized, I'm like, you've been up? You went and worked out, didn't you? And she's like, yeah, you thought I was just wearing those workout gear for. For nothing. I'm like, it's just nuts to me that I slept until. Until she came home and woke me up.

[Will]

You retired.

[Derek]

Yeah, sleepy boy.

[Will]

You retired.

[Derek]

Willie was sleepy. That.

[Will]

That's a prime example of, like, you needed that sleep. As much as you might be angry at yourself. Like, your body was like, yo, I need rest.

[Derek]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're probably right. But. So we get rolling, and I'm behind the eight ball, and I'm in there making breakfast. Making lunch. I hear a little. Little dust up going on upstairs. Rue, she's apparently in a great mood until all of a sudden, she's not. And Mom's like, hey, do you want me to help you make your bed? Rue's like, yeah. Then they make the bed together. She gets mad. No, I don't want you to help me make the bed. Rips off all the stuffed animals. Good. Oh, she's losing her mind. We have no clue why. Good.

[Will]

That's actually perfect. Ideal.

[Derek]

Yeah. She's three years old. All of a sudden, she's pissed off. I thought you wanted me. I thought you wanted Mama to help. Help you make your bed. Not anymore. Then I come up. I'm trying to, like, soothe it down because I need to know an answer. Hey, what do you want for snack time? I've already knocked out your. Your pepp quesadilla. Got you pepperononi. Quesadilla. Pepperononis to top it off. Not top it off, but have a little side slot. Granola balls and sliced apples. I know you love them flat. Dad cut them flat. Good.

[Will]

Excuse. Excuse me, Ms. Rue. I know you're in a meeting with Mom. Yeah. What. What did you want for snack time?

[Derek]

I just got done.

[Will]

Yeah, making your lunch.

[Derek]

She didn't know she didn't want to tell me. Don't have answers now. Even better.

[Will]

That's all right, Ms. Rear. I'll let. I'll let you handle that.

[Derek]

Would you like freeze dried strawberries?

[Will]

No.

[Derek]

All right.

[Will]

Terrible idea.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Terrible idea. That is stupid. Listen, those suck. End up getting her snack together. I'm like, hey, I'm gonna need you to come downstairs because dad has got to leave very soon. And she's like, are you gonna leave without me? And I'm like, no, no, no, no. Listen, I know we gotta do hug, kiss, and three squeezes. Dad's not leaving until I get my hug, kiss, and three squeezes. That's all she needed to know. I'm gonna wait for you to come downstairs, but I need you to hurry up.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

So that it can get rolling because that. That is already behind. That is already screwed up the entire morning.

[Will]

Any question in your mind that's like, if this doesn't happen, I'll be upset. Just know that's not gonna happen because dad has on your side this morning.

[Derek]

We are on the same team, sweetheart.

[Will]

I'm your friend.

[Derek]

So I go downstairs and I'm. I'm trying to get. I'm trying to figure out my lunch and have everything set up so that way she can come downstairs. Hug, kiss, three squeezes.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Family comes down, comes downstairs, give her a massive hug kiss. Or he squeezes. Scotty's just standing there. You know how I told the story last week of the kiss and her putting her hand mine and doing the whole three squeeze thing? So she's fully bought into the hug, kiss, and three squeezes. I'm giving Rue all the. All the big. The big three. And then Scotty's just standing on the side waiting for a hug from Data for just a random reason. And the squeezes. I get up and roll to the fridge. I'm like, all right, I got to get my lunch. Like, man, where's the snack at? I try to pull out a container. Container falls out. Crack breaks all over the floor.

[Will]

Oh, perfect. Glass.

[Derek]

No, it was plastic car. Plastic cracks open. Food everywhere.

[Will]

I wish.

[Derek]

I'm staring down at the. And I'm just like. I start pacing and walk around, and it just hits me. Just say it out loud. Say, good, good, good.

[Will]

If only it had been glass, then.

[Derek]

It would have been great. Charles trying to clean up some stuff. Everybody's kind of around. It's one of those moments where you're a little too. You're. What is it? You're like, over. You're over stimulated. You know you have to leave. You're already behind late. I'm texting the boys, hey, I'll be there at 8:20. I already know it's going to be 8:30. The world's falling apart and I'm, I'm like walking around, you know, I'm walking back to the fridge saying, good, good, good, good. Nanny walks in at this exact time. She walks in and through the garage and around the mud room. And she just sees me like sitting there walking. I'm like, good, good, good. Audrey, great to see you. Great to see you. Everything's all good over here.

[Will]

How's baby? We're excited.

[Derek]

Spilled flute, spilled food all over the floor.

[Will]

Don't worry, I'll pick that up.

[Derek]

Yeah, run outside. Truck's not defrosted yet. Sprinting out there. I'm, you know, I'm just barefoot. I put socks and shoes on yet. I'm turning that good, man. It's h. I'm happy to be here. You, you happy to be here for the dads right now.

[Will]

You and I had very similar mornings. Very similar mornings. I got. I can jump into mine and then we can do happy comments. Yeah.

[Derek]

We go, look, look, I. I walked in, Derek, we has coffee ready. He's like, got your coffee ready? Got the comments ready. Coffee and comments.

[Will]

I sang a song to you that I rehearsed in the mirror last night for several hours.

[Sherman]

I would like to say too, we, we should apologize to you. That doesn't happen with an accountability buddies text, which we've only done one time. I got reminded from a buddy. We have not so to our fault. We should have woke you up.

[Derek]

Well, accountability text that we started. What was that two weeks ago? I said the first, maybe one day that happened.

[Chef]

I said the first one in. Everyone goes, good morning, good morning. And then 45 minutes later, it's a text from Will going, oh, we're starting that today.

[Derek]

And that's been the extent.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Chef]

I was like, well, that's the end of that.

[Will]

That's true, that's true. Chalk it. Chalk it up to me not texting you this morning that, yes, we need to be better as a team. We need to be better as a team. I, Jill is sick and yesterday I went into full panic mode trying to figure out a way for us to record this today and not even realizing. Derek said it beautifully off mic earlier. Oh, I already pay for what a.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

Matchup we got, y'.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

All.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit chance echo drum beat. Everybody showing that school pride. Game like this. Yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there.

[Will]

Mmm.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere. And in ice cold Coca Cola, that's a winning combo, no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.

[Will]

It was like somebody stabbed me in the side of the head with an ice pick and everything sort of went blurry.

[Derek]

The disease is like a crazy crow flying through the dark night. Patients go months or years, incurring damage in all of these organs.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

How do you identify something you can't see?

[Will]

Going to the emergency room, they're not going to do anything for me. I've done that before. I've gone to seek help and I'm just pushed aside.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

Something you know is there but can't trace.

[Will]

That's what I knew I couldn't control, and that's what I knew. You have a disease of some sort. I couldn't explain it.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

A threat always lurking under the surface. I'm Lauren Bright Pacheco, host of Symptomatic, a medical mystery podcast. Listen to all new episodes wherever you get the stories that matter to you.

[Chevy Announcer]

The 2026 Chevy Equinox is more than an SUV. It's your Sunday tailg and your parking lot, snack bar, your lucky jersey, your chairs and your big cooler fit perfectly in your even bigger cargo space. And when it's go time, your 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen's got the playbook, the playlist, and the tech to stay a step ahead. It's more than an suv. It's your Equinox Chevrolet. Together, let's drive.

[Will]

A system that watches my kids daycare. I was like, we'll just take Scarlett todaycare an extra day. Check Scarlett this morning. She did not have a fever. I don't have a fever. Jill is dead. Jill's basically dead. She and shout out Jill, I love Jill.

[Derek]

Jill, shout out you.

[Will]

I will say this about sorry you're feeling shitty. She has left work for as long as I've known her. She has left work only one other time. So I know it ain't good. And so I come home or, sorry. I get a text from Jill yesterday. She basically says, I'm dead. I'm leaving work. I'm like, okay, good. Okay, start playing with you guys. I panic. And then I quickly realized, okay, we could put Scarlett in daycare tomorrow. We got that figured out. Now let's just take care of Scarlet and take care of Jill. So I go pick up Scarlet from daycare. I come home. Jill has been home since 3:30 and has been passed out in bed. She's just asleep. I go to the nursery and the door's not coming. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on with the nursery door? Look down, the carpet is all like outside of the door. Like there's no carpet on the outside of the nursery. There's carpet on the inside of the nursery, but it's all sticking out of the door. Like what the going on here? Lay my shoulder into the nursery door. Wrigley explodes out of the nursery. So Jill locked Wrigley in the nursery all day long. There's and piss everywhere. Good, good Scarlett, because she wants her, you know, attention. So I go get the carpet cleaner and I'm cleaning the carpet and I got Scarlet up on the changing table with my hand right there and I'm scrubbing the carpet. Jill's dead in the bed. I go, I go make Scarlet's her bath. Bath time goes great. Then all of a sudden she decides she doesn't want to eat her bottle, which she has never done at night time. That's her favorite bottle. And for parents at home, you know, that is one of the most important bottles because one of the most important.

[Derek]

If they've been in a routine the whole time, your head's spinning like what is happening?

[Will]

I'm like you, this is, we've made it, we've made it. I'm also thinking in the back of my mind, if she does not eat at least five and a half ounces, she is going to wake up in the middle of the night hungry and piss. Which means I will wake up and I already have a 5:30 and you're gonna piss. I'm gonna be pissed. I already have a 5:30 wake up call tomorrow just to get her to daycare so I can be here on time. So I'm like, Scarlet, we are not taking no as an option. Tonight you will drink your bottle. So I open up, I open up her merlin, I open up her onesie and I get a wet wipe. This might, I don't know if this is abuse, but I think it's a dad hack. And I'm just wiping her chest with the wipe to wake her up. She was basically just falling asleep and not eating her bottle. And I Had the lights on, I had music on. And I'm like, scarlett, eat your baba. Eat your baba. And she wouldn't wake up, so I. And doing this wet wipe on her chest. And it keeps on waking her up enough to where she's like, oh, yeah, I need to eat my body gulps at a time. Yes. That ended up working. We got six ounces in her. Once we got six ounces, I said, good, and put her in the crib. Then I go into the bedroom and I just hear. And I'm like, oh, honey, are you okay? Jill's dead. And I'm. What do you need? I need Tylenol. I need ice, I need water. Blah, blah. I'll go get that. I go get all of her stuff. And then I'm like, oh, my God. I can't go to bed because Jill is usually the one. Shout out Jill. Who preps all of Scarlett's stuff for daycare. I gotta make Scarlett's bottles for tomorrow. I gotta pick out her outfit. I gotta get all of her stuff. So I make all pre. Make all the bottles.

[Derek]

At what point do you put the eye black on? Oh, where you're like, you know what? I gotta do all this. And you just start looking in the mirror. You put the eye black on, and it's like, let's get to work.

[Will]

Pull up Coach X picture of his eye black in college. That's where I was at.

[Derek]

Damn near blackface.

[Will]

He put the eye back on, and then I grabbed my hands and I smeared it on my face.

[Derek]

I said, you ain't going to bed tonight.

[Will]

I said, we fucking got this. It's gonna be good. And I wash all the bottles. I prepped everything, and then I made the bottles and I put them up. And then this morning, execution was perfect. We got Scarlett out of the crib. We got her in her new outfit. Bottle, bottle, bottle. She drank the whole thing. Get her to daycare. Shout out daycare. Thank you.

[Derek]

Shout out daycare.

[Will]

Do an extra day. Oh, do you have a hundred ten dollars you gotta pay up front? I had 115 in my wallet. I never carry cash.

[Derek]

Boom.

[Will]

There you go. Have a good day. I'm gonna go record for the dads.

[Derek]

That's turning into lemonade, son. Yes.

[Will]

And I say all of that to say, no one's coming to save you. And that's just a. That's a day at the office.

[Derek]

It's a day at the office.

[Will]

It's a day.

[Derek]

Parents out there hearing our stories, they. They have worse ones. Like, you're Just you're going to be in the suck a lot of the times. I actually have a comment right here from Eli McCarthy, 92.

It's pure freaking chaos. Good. The nephew is being an aggravating. Good. Multiple meltdowns. Good. Baby girl's first roller coaster scared the absolute out of her, but she didn't let that stop her. Good. Good. All the chaos and meltdowns are worth the special memories and smiles on wifey and baby girl's face. Keep up the Good Work Pt 6. This show truly was a game changer for me. Love y' all boys. Love you too, Eli.

[Will]

[Will]

And. And Layman knows that more than anyone. A sicko, a true sicko.

[Derek]

It's just a simple one right here. Michael A B.

[Will]

Yes sir.

[Derek]

E H8B Y. I've been seeing underscore on YouTube.

[Will]

Been seeing him everywhere.

[Derek]

Everywhere. Need more night episodes.

[Will]

LM AO my mom asked me if I was drunk last week. Called me and asked me if I was drunk. I said no, I was delirious. Yeah, mother.

[Derek]

We were hanging on.

[Will]

We're hanging on, we're hanging on. She said it wasn't a bad performance. You just seemed a little extra goofy. Lions Fan 73 on YouTube said, Will, I will raise you one with a poop story. Daughter didn't make it to the toilet in time and dropped a deuce on the bathroom floor. I go upstairs for two minutes, come back down and the turd is gone. All good. Ask the kid where it went and she literally points at our dog. I turn around and the dog is licking its lips and immediately runs to its cage.

[Derek]

That is crazy.

[Will]

Body training and dogs aren't for the week.

[Derek]

Charl had one where she was doing bath time over the weekend when we were in. We were doing the all cast in Atlanta and Rue had to go potty while she was in bath time. She's like mom, I gotta go poo poo. She. She picks Rue up and as she picks her up to transfer to the toilet or three year old she drops a two right there on the floor.

[Will]

Come on.

[Derek]

On the way over. It was just coming out. Come on. She couldn't hold it in. Just drops a. I think a durable. A durable piece right there on the carpet.

[Will]

Just like a daddy.

[Derek]

Just like a daddy. That's my. I heard that. That's my girl. That' bro.

[Will]

Good job.

[Derek]

R simple one here from Rico getting dough. 916. This has got to be a goon beret right here.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Rico getting dough. ST6 are checking in. Great podcast. Always looking forward to a new episode. Shout out to boys St Sixers. That's your seing Team six led by Chef right there. It's Chef. There you go. Rico getting dough.

[Taylor]

Great.

[Derek]

916.

[Will]

Rico getting dough. I have one from Tim Reams. My name is Tim Reams. Hey, how are you? I've been in professional. Oh shout out. Rizzo apparently has been throwing our stuff everywhere in the MLB because we got another MLB guy, Tim Reams. He said hey, how are you? My name is Tim Reams. I've been in professional baseball since 2012. For the last seven years I've been at the major league level as a big league bullpen catcher. My wife and I just had our first child, a baby boy. He's four months old and he is our first. Any advice? We love listening to the podcast as well. I look forward to hearing from you guys soon. Tim Reams.

[Derek]

Yo. That is awesome. Just casually writing in writing a comment. He casually also I play professional baseball. I'm in the mlb.

[Will]

Correct me if I'm wrong, Derek. He casually bought a bunch of merch too, did he not? Was he the MLB player that also storied like merch on his story? I believe he got some bus and.

[Sherman]

I have to double check that. We had a first form athlete who was a hockey player buy some stuff too. But I can. I can. I'll make a list of all our people.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Will]

Form energy.

[Derek]

What was the advice he said that he has. How old is theirs?

[Will]

Four months old.

[Derek]

Four months old. This is up your alley like for, you know, for me if I'm remembering again the. The time flies so the fact that Scotty's one rouge three. I like, think back to those dog days of a four month old.

[Taylor]

Four.

[Derek]

So like, he's right around. Are we getting them down for 12 hours at a night? Are you still doing the night feeds? That's like a war that's going on.

[Will]

Yes.

[Derek]

Because four months is around where they can sleep through the night. If you've been. If you've been doing any of the sleep training philosophies that are out there.

[Will]

I. I would say this to Tim because this is my lesson of the week as well. And we'll get into this. But if anybody knows this more, it's going to be Tim Rames, who is a bullpen catcher. There are some times when you are down and out and you got to call in the lefty and you got to get them warmed up. You got to be ready to go in there and not only pitch a hell of a game, but you could even win the game. Be ready for when they called the lefty and get you in there. Because my wife is an absolute sicko. And this morning and last night reminded me of that. Of just like, holy shit. There is so much that I have to do to cover for my wife. She is kicking ass daily. How does she do it?

[Derek]

And you're on the mound now.

[Will]

And I'm on the mound now. And now it's like, okay, not only am I. Not only am I out here trying to win the game, but it's for guts and glory, too.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Will]

Because I'm looking at our. Our formula thing, and it's a different type of formula than what we've been using. I'm second guessing myself. I'm like, yo, where's the usual?

[Derek]

And when you're looking around like a deer in headlights looking at coach on the sideline or in the dugout, the look back is, this is what we prepare for week in and week out. Yeah. I don't know why you're staring at me this way.

[Will]

Why are you looking at me? There's formula right there. What are you gonna do?

[Derek]

The starters hurt. The starter's in bed right now.

[Will]

Starters hurt.

[Derek]

This is a next man up mentality.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

There should be no drop off off if you want to be a big leaguer. There's no drop off when your number gets called.

[Will]

Yes. And what kind of shit are you going to be throwing on the mound? What kind of nasty shit are you pitching?

[Derek]

And if you're one of those guys that's deer in headlights looking around, thinking you're prepared Thinking you're talking a big game about that life and everything else. When the starter goes out, how are you going to perform? And if again, if you're looking around for somebody to save you, you haven't been doing enough and there is going.

[Will]

To be a four month old mean son of a bitch staring you down at home plate saying, what do you got, dad? Ass. What the do you got? Because I'm either going to and send it out of the park or you're going to strike this out. Yeah, what do you got?

[Derek]

Yeah. Staring at you in the A gap.

[Will]

Staring at you in the A gap.

[Derek]

And what I'll say too, it's like with the 1 and 3. Now I think back to those early months where it's chaos at all times. Like there's the hard point, hard moments throughout all of childhood. All of childhood. Now, as a dad that has youngest is now one who can walk, who looks at a cabinet, it's like, oh, hey, this cabinet's unlocked. This cabinet's open. And there's everything's in the cabinet. Why would everything be in the cabinet? Let me throw it all over the goddamn living room.

[Will]

Oh, and hey, that's not a cab. Think that might be a ladder?

[Derek]

Yeah. Oh, all the cans and bottles of water and everything is eye level here in the pantry. What's it doing on the shelf? It should be all over the floor.

[Will]

Oh, is that glass? Let's see if I can break it.

[Delta One Announcer]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Oh, dad just filled up a fresh.

[Will]

Bowl of water for waffle.

[Derek]

She's not thirsty. She likes drinking it off the floor as that dad. Seeing that now, I just think to myself, cherish the times where they're, they're, they're not mobile and you can just bounce them in a little chair.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

And watch a show. Whatever. Put the subtitles on it.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

What a matchup we got, y'.

[Will]

All.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit chance echo drum beat. Everybody showing that school pride. Game like this.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

It calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, ah. Crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there.

[Derek]

Mmm.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere. And an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and. And keep that HBCU pride going.

[Will]

It was like somebody stabbed me in the side of the head with an ice pick, and everything sort of went blurry.

[Derek]

The disease is like a crow flying through the dark night. Patients go months or years, incurring damage in all of these organs.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

How do you identify something you can't see?

[Will]

Going to the emergency room, they're not going to do anything for me. I've done that before. I've gone to seek help, and I'm just pushed aside.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

Something you know is there but can't trace.

[Will]

That's what I knew I couldn't control, and that's what I knew. You have a disease of some sort. I couldn't explain it.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

A threat always lurking under the surface. I'm Lauren Bright Pacheco, host of Symptomatic, a medical mystery podcast. Listen to all new episodes wherever you get the stories that matter to you.

[Chevy Announcer]

The 2026 Chevy Equinox is more than an SUV. It's your Sunday tailgate and your parking lot snack bar. Your lucky jersey, your chairs and your big cooler fit perfectly in your even bigger cargo space. And when it's go time, your 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen's got the playbook, the playlist, and the tech to stay a step ahead. It's more than an suv. It's your Equinox Chevrolet. Together, let's drive.

[Derek]

Whatever it is, they're immobile. Yeah. Enjoy those moments because it just gets more chaotic.

[Will]

Oh, you're your dog. And piss everywhere on the carpet. But it's close enough to the changing table that you can put Scarlett on the changing table and keep your hand on Scarlett while you clean. Good. Because what if she's mobile? What if she's. Where would I put her?

[Derek]

Yeah. And Scott Zilla, anytime we're prepping the oven, doing something on the stove, putting food in the oven, whatever it is, anytime she hears dinner because we're getting everything heated up, she can now get. She's able to reach all those knobs. So all she does, I set it for 375. She tries to wheel it to 500. She's pressing buttons. Now I'm getting orange lights blinking because the oven is shutting down or speaking a language I don't understand. And I just got to turn everything off and wait for like five minutes until I'm like, all right, let me see if I can heat up this food again or if I can get the oven preheated. Because once she hears denim, she's over there. She's messing with the knobs. And I look down, I'm like, scotty, stop. And she's just like, looking up at me. I'm like, no, no, you don't get it. Grab her by the arms, take her over to the. Take her over to the living room, sprint over to the oven, get the oven where I want to. And then I just sit there like a linebacker in the A gap while she tries to walk over. She tries to move, tries to, like, slide in between my legs. She starts getting upset, and I'm like, this is. Welcome to the show. You're not getting by the oven.

[Will]

Welcome to the show.

[Derek]

It's one of those ovens, too. It's like the knobs are on. Like, if I'm. If this is the oven, this is the top part. Part. You open the door to go in, the knobs are, like, sitting right there on the side so she can kind of grab the handle and mess with the knobs and push the buttons.

[Will]

Oh, perfect.

[Derek]

God. Oh.

[Will]

Your. Your house goes into auxiliary heat because it's so cold outside. And now your nursery is 84 degrees, and you think that your baby's gonna die. And you don't realize that till 10 o' clock at night. And you don't do a good job of checking the nanite app because usually your wife does. But now she's dead. But I went in there, I closed the heat vent and I put a fan in there, and we got down to 74 real quick.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Will]

So, Tim, welcome to the show. You've been in the show. You know exactly what needs to be done. Be ready for when they call in the lefty.

[Derek]

Yeah, Tim, there's your advice. Don't be the deer in headlights staring at your wife asking, what do I do in this situation? Ask her questions. Now, as you're watching at home right now, and you might be one of these dads. Let the wifey milk. Team Sixers. This is the opportunity to. Hey, this is what. This is the page I want you to be on. And from that moment, from that conversation, dad, sit there and listen. Because again, they're the. They're the starters. We think we handle all this. They know what it is.

[Will]

For real.

[Derek]

Yeah. You have to figure out a way and get on their level. I'd like to come home to a clean kitchen. I'd like to come home when I'm out for an hour and you're watching Kids. You know, I love the toys being picked up. I'd love for you to pick up the toys. Toys, yeah. How hard is that? I'm sitting there last night watching Monday Night Football. My wife's like, could you just not like you got a couple toys right here on the floor. Do you just, you enjoy just. Is it comfortable just sitting in the chaos or sitting around the clutter?

[Will]

Hey, Will, do you just like looking at the toys on the ground?

[Derek]

Yeah. Is that what it is? She's on her hands and knees putting them in there. And then that kind of guilty conscious where I'm going to continue to watch football because I've already kind of made this bed and just tell her I was born in the chaos. This is easy for me. But usually it's like when she's up there, say I'm doing Scotty and she's doing Rue, and she has a longer time with her and I get done with Scotty, I come downstairs, I see toys on the floor. The game, the mission man, is get all the toys cleaned up, put them under the table, put them back in Cat, whatever, the shelves, baskets, whatever you guys have. Yeah, have that done. So when they come down, it's a clean living room and you got a fresh glass of iced water sitting there for you. Ready to roll. Let's go. That's what it is, boys.

[Will]

That's what it is. And when. And when your 4 month old takes a deep 700 foot bomb, hits a homer off you, don't be, don't go like this. Don't go, oh, well. Oh, yeah.

[Derek]

And when your number's called for bath time, because it will be.

[Will]

It will.

[Derek]

You got to be ready to go. I'm still the dad that if I can get away of another day of bath time without mom bringing it up, I might try to sneak in another day of bathtub. I'm not taking a bath 100%. But right when mom's like, oh, it's. Let's just say, hey, it's Sunday, they need a bath day. Or they went swimming lesson today, they need a bath once. That said, you're ready to pick up and do your thing, hey, I will, I will execute bath time because again, even for a four or five month old, like, even for the young ones, they just sit in a little thing, you get them wet. It's a very fast bath routine. Once it's. Once a few toys get involved in there. They love to swim, they love to splash. Now you're negotiating how long you're going to stay. Do you want dad to pull the drainer? You or you want to pull the drain? Drain. But what women are really saying is they would like you to just be the guy who says, you know what? I think tonight's Bath night. I'm gonna go give him a bath. I haven't got to that point yet. And hand up, I can just say it as Charles listening. She knows that I'm not that guy. I had the buster chops the other night when I was getting ready for bed, and she reached over to the monitor and was looking at the monitor and looking at Rue. Rue. She now has her own little twin bed, right? So no sides or none of that Stu. And so Charo was like, looks like Rue's about to fall off the bed. And kind of like, makes a chuckle. And I just look at her. I was like, does this mean you want me to go up there and adjust, Rue, or are you just making that comment? We're going to kind of laugh out loud. I'm going to crawl in bed. We're going to snuggle together. We're going to go to sleep.

[Will]

Yeah, yeah. Because I'm tired. I'm dog.

[Derek]

Yeah, yeah. She's like, I mean, you can't if you want. And I'm like, you got to tell. You have to tell me. Women. Hey, we can't read your minds. Like, you have to tell me. I know of a couple things Charl does that I. I just know when my number's being called. Yeah, Like, Charl, get home. We'll get home. We went and took pictures with Santa the other day. We get home, Charles wanted to change into our comfy clothes, like, get, you know, dressed down, everything else. And she just says to Rue out loud, rue, I gotta go change right now. And I also still have to clean out the. The backpack. I also still have to clean up the backpack. So whenever I change and clean out the backpack, then we can play together. Me, that's Q. I'm on the couch right now, phones in my hand. Or maybe I'm getting the game on because it's. It's Sunday.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

I think in my head, oh, this right here is Q. Gentlemen, go clean out the backpack. That's a. Char is doing something. John might be putting away the leftovers in the fridge. And I'm sitting there on the couch, and I hear my wife talk to Waffle. Think Waffle can talk to her back. Or English Bulldog that's sitting by the door. Oh, Waffle, do you need to go outside? Do you need to go potty? I will get you to go out. I'll let you outside whenever I'm done putting away the leftovers. Me sitting on the couch. Oh, summon. I'm Summon. Boys, that doesn't mean Charles gonna Put away the leftovers to go take her outside. That means, hey, dad, do you hear me saying your dog needs to go outside? Why don't you get your lazy ass up and go let the dog outside?

[Will]

Yeah, that's called an out loud subtweet from your wife. Yeah, which Jill often will subtweet me to do the exact same thing. Exact same thing. She's making chicken and dumplings two nights ago. Oh, my head hurts. Oh, I feel like I don't feel good. I think dinner's about to be ready. I hope you know, I. I'll go take it off the, the stove or whatever when the Alexa goes off. I have to get Scarlet to bath time. Oh, my head. I feel like I finally, I go, oh, ding, ding, ding. Dad.

[Sherman]

Help.

[Derek]

Dad. Just sitting there. Have you seen inside out?

[Will]

Yes.

[Derek]

Yeah, bro, we're in the dad's brain. They're all sitting there like. Then like, what the hell is she talking about?

[Will]

I finally go, hey, you know what? It's 6:20. I'll get her bath going.

[Sherman]

I'll do.

[Will]

I'll do bath time with Scarlett. I'm sure Jill and her head's on each other. What a novel idea. What a. What a great idea, Sherman.

[Derek]

And you hear me. I feel like hell. We gotta bathe our daughter. And I'm doing dinner. Alexa's telling us it's time to take the food off the stove. Opalex is going off. I feel like would like to not have to get up.

[Will]

Yeah. Oh, I have to wake up at 5 tomorrow morning because I work all day at the hospital and I'm gonna be feeling like I'm just over there on the couches.

[Derek]

Yeah. And men, this is the way our wives talk to us. And a few things happen here in a man's brain.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

You feel the indirect subliminal messages because they're not directly speaking to you. And you're just thinking, if you just tell me, I would know. And they're thinking, if you just know, I don't have to tell you. Because these are some of the simplest things. And when we don't do those things in their brain, that's the only way they can kind of get around to talk to us or get our attention. Tension. And so a couple things happen. You're either going to sit there, we identify and know they're calling me out right now. And they can't say it to my face, but they're calling me out right now. You can either boil and get a little angry and start to get a Little passive aggressive back.

[Will]

Oh, that sounds fun.

[Derek]

Yeah, you can do that.

[Will]

That'll solve it, I'm telling you.

[Derek]

Just a slippery slope, boys. It's a slippery slope and sometimes you might win. But we all know at the end of the night or at the end of the day or the next day when you're driving, driving, you don't feel good about yourself that it got to that point.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

But there's another thing that can happen. You can just sit there with our dumb brains when we finally figure it out, and you can just smile and you can say, good, it's my time, My number's getting called, and I got to show up. Not only do I got to show up and. And hear the room and hear our wives talking to us, but also, let's try to figure it out and get better so this doesn't have to continue to happen. Happen. Is it going to continue to happen? Yes.

[Will]

Yeah. Every day. Every single day, it will continue to happen.

[Derek]

Like we're watching the game. The little emotions in our brain, they're all sitting in our brain watching the game. We have no clue what's actually going on. Yeah, but if you can just have some awareness.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

And hear what's being said, they'll tell you. They just hate telling you 100 different times and in a hundred different ways.

[Will]

That's true. Hey, the signs are there, there. And often I will tell my wife, well, maybe if you had just asked me nicely, you know, a while ago until, instead of where we are now. Maybe if you just asked me nicely. Oh, so I didn't ask you. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 different times. And then I rewind and I go, oh, you know what she did.

[Derek]

The signs were there.

[Will]

The signs were there. But I digress.

[Derek]

Yeah. There's your advice, Tim.

[Will]

Yeah, Tim, thank you for. Hey, Tim, thanks for listening to the show.

[Derek]

Any new dads out there? Matter of fact, I do have some new dad, Some new dad Life shout outs. I got Cole Jacobs on Instagram. Say hello to Gianna Marie. Jacobs had to spend two nights in the NICU to regulate her breathing, but she's tough like her mom. They even went to hook up an IV and said they were having trouble because she has thick skin. Come on, let's go. Good, good. She will be ready to hit the A gap in no time. And now our watch begins.

[Will]

Yes.

We even got the photo where mom's taking a selfie doing a funny little pose while my man Koi is over in the corner just asleep in that plastic recliner.

[Will]

Absolute sickos. And is that the couple that they were like, hey, we're either gonna name our kid Scotty or Scarlet possibly. I saw. I saw a comment of that.

[Derek]

That might be it.

[Will]

Was that off YouTube?

[Derek]

This one's off X. Yeah, off X. It's for the boys out there too, like moms. It must be nice to have this nice bed.

[Will]

Bed.

[Derek]

Look at us uncomfortably like. Let's laugh at that.

[Will]

They gave her.

[Derek]

Should I laugh at that?

[Will]

They gave her a bed. Oh, and they gave me a plastic recliner.

[Derek]

In the hospital we get a plastic recliner. You think your light's hard? You ever slept in a plastic recliner?

[Will]

DJK 2500 on YouTube. Take a drink. Every time Sherm changes his accent. Laughing emoji emoji. Benny not Benny replied, buddy, I'm wasted. Sherman Young replied, laughing emojis.

[Derek]

That is awesome.

[Will]

That. That legitimately. That made me belly laugh. That was very funny.

[Derek]

I got Cheney. Cheney Gaudette, PT Sicko on YouTube. We got a PT Sicko username out here.

[Will]

Okay.

[Derek]

What's up, fellas? Let me tell you. I got sniped. Baby girl brought home the stomach bug from daycare. Good. Quick dad hack. Want to lose 10 pounds real quick? Get the stomach bug from your kids day. Good.

[Will]

Best diet ever.

[Derek]

Also just started terminal list last night. Willie. See, your boy is hooked.

[Will]

Hey, you know what I'm doing tonight? And this isn't for the pod. I'm doing this tonight. Terminal list. I'm doing it. I'm just gonna do it. I'm gonna nut up or shut up. Thermal.

[Derek]

I'm gonna do thermal list. Dark wolf. Because it's the prequel.

[Will]

There you go. I'm gonna start with it.

[Derek]

I'm telling you, it's gonna change your life also.

[Will]

So. One, shout out. You I got your Christmas card is very beautiful. Two, shout out Logan Valente.

[Derek]

Oh, you got mine in the mail.

[Will]

Yes, sir.

[Derek]

Okay. Thank God. The way you just said that. I'm like, oh, Sherm got me a Christmas card. I swear to God, I think I got his address for us to send him a Christmas card.

[Will]

No, no. But you're telling me I got yours. We have yet to send ours. We still need to make our boys.

[Derek]

I send to the families. Just whatever could be going on in your head.

[Sherman]

Cool, man.

[Will]

Right there.

[Derek]

You just brought that up. You brought up the. You got our family Christmas card to.

[Will]

Segue into this, but continue to continue.

[Derek]

In front of Chef, who's the captain of scene.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

What a matchup we got, y'.

[Will]

All.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat, everybody showing that school pride. Game like this.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

It calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere, adding ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo. No matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.

[Will]

It was like somebody stabbed me in the side of the head with an ice pick and everything sort of went blurry. The disease is like a crow flying.

[Derek]

Through the dark night. Patients go months or years, incurring damage in all of these organs.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

How do you identify something you can't see going to the emergency room?

[Will]

They're not going to do anything for me. I've done that before. I've gone to seek help and I'm just pushed aside.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

Something you know is there but can't trace.

[Will]

That's what I knew I could couldn't control. And that's what I knew. You have a disease of some sort. I couldn't explain it.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

A threat always lurking under the surface. I'm Lauren Bright Pacheco, host of Symptomatic, a medical mystery podcast. Listen to all new episodes wherever you get the stories that matter to you.

[Chevy Announcer]

The 2026 Chevy Equinox is more than an SUV. It's your Sunday tailgate and your parking lot snack bar, your lucky jersey, your chairs and your big cooler Fit perfectly in your even bigger cargo space. And when it's go time, your 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen's got the playbook, the playlist, and the tech to stay a step ahead. It's more than an suv. It's your Equinox Chevrolet.

[Derek]

Together, let's drive in team six today. Derek, who's a Funkle, who's part of this brand, they could be in their brain right now thinking, I wonder if our Christmas card's on its way. Maybe he just sent Sherm a Christmas card. I'm just saying out loud right now, the Young's got a Christmas card. Clump's got a Christmas card. Lawan's got a Christmas card.

[Sherman]

The.

[Derek]

The Christmas cards went to the. The families of the shop. As I sit here in a little bit of a panic, nerves letting you guys know that you did not get a Christmas card from the Compton family.

[Chef]

The Hannings haven't done a Christmas card in seven years. So I think you're all good.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Chef]

No worries on our front.

[Sherman]

I was about to run home and check the mail, so. Okay to come by? Yeah.

[Derek]

Glad you got the Christmas card charm. Thank you for set up in front.

[Will]

Of people who didn't set up your co host for failure.

[Derek]

Good, good.

[Will]

Slash. If you think for a second that he doesn't love you and appreciate you.

[Chef]

I'm gonna say I think the paychecks that come in twice twice a month are pretty good substitute for.

[Derek]

It's crazy. You value the paychecks over our conversations.

[Will]

Yeah. He also left a note in the envelope.

[Chef]

Threw myself into that one.

[Will]

He left a note in the envelope and he said, hey, my Charl wanted to send this. I didn't want to send it. The Charles sent this to Jill.

[Derek]

I appreciate you swinging the sword for your boy.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

We uncomfortably sit in this pocket.

[Will]

Absolutely.

[Sherman]

Charo hate.

[Derek]

No, you know what? You know what? But read the comment.

[Will]

I digress. Logan v2855 on YouTube says, Boys, do you have a PO box to where the PT6 community can send our Christmas cards to the boys to answer that question, yes. And if you d. If you are interested in sending a Christmas card to Derek and Chef or Willie C. And church term. DM the for the dad socials that's on Instagram, Tick Tock or Twitter. DM us for the PO Box and we will send you the PO Box address and you can send us a Christmas card.

[Derek]

We love that we can get some cards hanging up on the set we.

[Will]

Can put on the fridge. We could Put on the set however we want to do it.

[Sherman]

Also you could email a digital one too if you want to. If you can email us a digital one, we can print it out and find a way to work too if you don't want to mail it.

[Will]

That's actually very.

[Derek]

That's nice solve right there, Derek.

[Will]

Hey. Also, Derek, let us in to a funkle situation with the flat tire because I feel, I feel like we've been kind of like, oh, let's just like expel this. Good. You kind of had a good situation as well.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Yesterday we. So my fiance works late on Mondays and so I have a fantasy league where if you score 100 points on a guy, they have to buy you a pizza. So last night she's working late, she's gluten free, all is lining up to go to show pizza in East. Super excited, excited. Take a new way home. It turns into one of those off ramps where everyone tries to line up next to each other. And I get run off the road basically into a pothole and dude, tired.

[Will]

Done.

[Sherman]

So I drive about four minutes to a church parking lot. Spend a half, mind you, the pizza's been ordered. The pizza's been ordered. I have to pick it up in two minutes. Spent about a half hour in a church parking lot last night from like 5:30 to 6 changing this tire. So put my donut on, get the tire in there, take a picture, post my stupid little funny caption of you don't have to change your tire.

[Will]

You get to in 30 degree.

[Sherman]

And I'm just sitting there and I'm texting, oh my God, Cat knows me. And she's like, well just breathe like it's fine. I'm like, no, like it's, it's, it's good. Like it's good, it's good. Is it good that I have every penny budgeted out for Christmas gifts and now I gotta buy a tire to drive home? It's great. It's honestly amazing. So we do that. I get the pizza, it's cold. Now I go home and just upset. And I'm just sitting there and she comes home and I will say cat came home on a facetime with her sister. And I was just like, let me talk to the kids. I was like, let me talk to the niece. And then she shut around and the nephew has the T. Rex face on. He's going, and Amelia style. She was in a pageant. She's little miss their area of the world. Like she was in a parade. She's reaming about that, how cool it is. I was like, thank God for these kids. Because, like, I was just sitting there so mad because it wasn't my. Like, she's off. I want to get a pizza. Why do I want to get a pizza? I was angry, hungry. But it ended up being a really good situation. It was a nice little ground fantasy.

[Derek]

The ball club put up over 100 points. I'm getting a free pizza.

[Will]

Oh, yeah.

[Derek]

And now I'm paying for it. Go out to pick it up, get ran off the road.

[Sherman]

The minimum is, yep, 15 in this league. And I said, if you guys can find me a $15 pizza, then I'll buy that pizza. Impossible. So I was already in the hole, and now I'm in the hole more. All because I wanted a stupid little pizza.

[Will]

And then the. I wish the call had been recorded between us because I call Hannah. Him realizing I can just take Scarlet to daycare. Why am I freaking out? Because we were coming up with this whole. For the audience at home. We're coming up with the plan of Sherman will be home with Scarlet watching, and zoom in, and we'll try and do this. Blah, blah, blah.

[Derek]

Before or after our phone call?

[Will]

This is after our phone call.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Will]

This is after our phone call. I then realized, oh, I can take Scarlet to daycare. So then I called Derek to then tell him, hey, I'm going to take Scarlet to daycare. I think, blah, blah, blah, to check in with him. And I start off the call with, hey, how's it going? And he then tells me about the flat tire situation. And in the background, you just hear Scarlet going. And I. I just go, well, Derek, it. You know, it sounds like we're both doing great, so I can't wait to see you tomorrow and give you a hug. Everything's okay.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

God.

[Derek]

For the dads, man.

[Will]

For the dads.

[Derek]

So why the brand's here, bro.

[Will]

For the dads.

[Derek]

I already know Sherm was trying to figure it out last night because we were on and off the phone, and I'm basically just like, whatever you say you can do. We're gonna have to get done. But I know getting off the phone. I know. Getting off the phone, sure. I'm feeling whatever energy I had. He's thinking, this doesn't feel like it's good enough because I did. So I was like, I didn't have the. The daycare situation in my head because I wish I would have brought that up now that it got brought up. Yes. To, like, take them there because more of, like, after sherm comes up and he's kind of asking about it or alluding to, hey, wife's sick. He hadn't talked to a wife yet. And trying to figure out a plan, game plan for tomorrow. I was like, well, you're bringing me a problem. Do we have the solution? And this is after, you know, going six hours on the bus and everything else. My brain is just like, all right, I got about everyone's brain. Everybody' are fried.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

I'm like, hey, you figure out a solution. Whatever. Whatever we can do. If we have to move it, we have to come in tomorrow night, and then the boys are just gonna have to grind through getting this out so that way it can land at Wednesday morning. As everybody's listening to this right now. Whatever we got to do. Let's just. However you can come up with the solution, we can figure it out. The only thing I was. I guess I felt like we didn't turn over every stone yet. When you brought up the zoom and everything else last night to do the Zoom on the bus is I got off the phone saying to myself, we don't even know what Jill has said yet because you said you still hadn't talked to your wife.

[Will]

I still hadn't talked to my wife yet.

[Derek]

But I know you're in the. You're in your own trenches, so I don't want to make a situation feel like. Make you feel shitty getting off the phone. But I'm thinking, bro, there's gotta be a way that we could do it in person. And if we can't, then at least we would know, based on your conversation with wifey, that we truly would not be able to do it. And when I didn't know, it was more of, like, this. Jill Zillow. Jill Zill. He hasn't even talked to Jill yet.

[Sherman]

Yes.

[Derek]

And he's like, this is the solution. It's like, we don't even know if we can't yet. But, hey, if this is all we can do, well, then we'll have to do it on zoom.

[Will]

I'm also playing 4D chess in my head because I'm having a meeting with these guys and we're coming up. Well, maybe Scarlett can come up to the office. Yeah. And we know, like, that that's a real picture into your life. And then in my head, I'm overthinking and going, oh, am I just going to look like a dad that's using his kid for clicks in this situation? And how does that look to Jill's parents that I brought My kid up to the office while their daughter's sick at home, and I'm, like, overthinking.

[Derek]

We got semen Team Sixers ready to go on the other side.

[Will]

That's true, Coop.

[Derek]

It's not like Scarlet would have to sit here. Scarlet would have been sitting here on camera with us. Yes, but we got some fellas that are more than equipped.

[Will]

Yeah, that's true. The all. All said and done had a great con. This was like, this was the perfect situation of in to chalk it up. Like, Will was very helpful. I. I told him, hey, I am sorry that I'm not bringing any solutions, but it's more so I'm talking to you less of Will, my boss, and more so, hey, will you have kids and maybe experience this? I've never experienced this. What the hell do I. I do? And we had a good conversation of like, okay, here are some options. But all said and done, had a really good conversation with my mom. She has a best friend that lives in Nashville. We need a babysitter. We need a babysitter.

[Derek]

A billion percent.

[Will]

We need a babysitter. My wife or my wife. My mom is coming in town this week on Thursday to, like, help with Scarlet and stuff, so Jill and I can do another date night. But, like, our in laws and stuff flying in, like, that's.

[Derek]

Yeah, they live in Texas.

[Will]

They live in.

[Derek]

They live in Texas.

[Will]

That's not realistic for the future. They do miss us and they want to see us.

[Derek]

But, yeah, like, that stuff's great. But again, for, like, young parents and young families who have young kids and you're experiencing like, hey, we need to get back into doing date nights and thinking about us a little bit more because it's bogged us down. Have it just be kid, kid, kid or kids, kids, kids. You do need a Rolodex of one to two babysitters that you feel like you can trust and call and that, you know, you're hoping that they would be available in a pinch.

[Will]

And so my mom has a best friend here in Nashville, and I was like, mom, put the word out. Give. Give me her number. But you reach out and. Because I'm sure that they have a Rolodex of people that they trust.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Will]

Because it is. It's like, very foreign. We love our network in Nashville. I love all this community that I have, but I feel some type of way. I'm not going to call Jared Beam and his wife to, like, come watch my kid because Jared's my coworker. He's not My babysitter, like, he's my friend, he's not my babysitter. So I want, like a actual. My title is I'm a babysitter is what I'm looking for. And we just have been dragging our feet on it. It's a. It's a hard situation because if we're in Fort Worth, I could name 30 people that I would take their opinions in of who their babysitters are, and I would use their babysitters.

[Derek]

Like.

[Will]

Like, you just have that network. We don't have that here, but we do. We just gotta dig for it and find it and be purposeful. And so that was the learning lesson for the.

[Derek]

In the middle of the chaos, in the middle of the limited time you already have. So it's like you know the answer. It's like Charl, like Charles having to figure out who can be. Like, when Audrey, she's pregnant, so we're going to lose her as a nanny. We're going to have to figure out who, like, who's going to be the replacement. We know that answer. I know that answer. Charl knows that answer. Charles, like, well, I know I'm going to have to be the one one diving in and figuring out who the next nanny's going to be. In the middle of all the chaos of kids, husband and wife, job, run the business, everything else. It's just like he has legitimately, like, vetting people, just going through that process that you don't want to go through.

[Will]

And that's another good example of Jill very, like, subtweeting husband to help in this situation because she has brought up, hey, we really need to find a babysitter, man. We really need to find a babysitter. Oh, I really want to go on a date. And night. If only we had a babysitter. And I'm sitting there driving, you know, nothing going on in my head, just going, yeah, babysitter would be good. Yeah, yeah, pick up the phone and find a babysitter, Sherman. But even then.

[Derek]

So when I'll get into. And we don't even get into arguments. I was going to say, if I get into that argument with my wife, we don't get into those arguments.

[Will]

Well, and it wasn't. Yes, to your point, it wasn't an argument.

[Derek]

Right. But I'm saying if it gets. If it's like, um, I think to myself, sweetheart, I can find a babysitter, but I already know if I find it, like, to me, as dad, as male as how my brain works. Yes, if you find A babysitter. And you trust said babysitter? I'm not. I trust you.

[Will]

Yes.

[Derek]

So if the babysitter walks in, like, I'm just trusting that we have a babysitter. Like, oh, we gotta sit her for tonight. If I find a babysitter or if dads or the men, I feel like, find the babysitter. No matter what, Mom's gonna want to vet and feel very about said babysitter. So I think this. You'll have to. You might as well rip this job because no matter what, you're going to want to feel just as good as I do about that babysitter. There's no world where I get the babysitter. This person that you don't know and walks in the door, you're thinking like me in this situation. We just get in the car and go. Because you're like, oh, I trust. I trust hubby here that he just landed this. This awesome babysitter that neither of us know.

[Will]

Yeah. Oh, how did you vet them? They love college football. Honey, she's a. She's a big college football senko. She's great.

[Derek]

How'd they land the job? She said, go Big Red. And I was like, you think Del Rio is gonna hit the portal? Good insight about it. I listen, you come over my house anytime.

[Will]

Truly. And yes, I know if I pick out a outfit for Scarlet, her feet will be covered. She'll have a cute bow, she'll have a cute whatever. But Jill is going to be like, hold on, hold on. What are we doing using this outfit? She needs this sweater. Blah, blah, blah.

[Derek]

You know what? You dress the kid, so.

[Will]

You dress the kid. So that's how I think in my head of, if I pick the babysitter, there's going to be multiple notes on top of that, which is fine, but I'm automatically assuming, oh, that's a Jill job, because she'll want final check and say of who we hire.

[Derek]

Yeah, let's. Let's take out. Let's separate the person from the problem. Let's separate the idea of does the man do this or the woman does this? Like, who's the most equipped? Like, who's going to be the most detailed in handling this said job?

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Because if I interview, you're going to be interviewing me on the backside and then reminding me of questions that I forgot to ask or didn't ask. Hey, you seem like the. The one. You seem like the one most well equipped to handle this said job.

[Will]

Yes.

[Derek]

And again, there might be dads who absolutely Rip that job and have are the ones that landed the baby. So I have no clue. I'm just talking more from my. If. If when Charl brings it up, I. Hey, sweetheart, I know this is going to be. This could be one that I could do. Look, I could do this, but if I. This here's what I would like not to happen. Because if you were doing this on the back end to me, I'm just thinking in my head, you might as well just go ahead and fill this role.

[Will]

Or at the very beginning, hey, honey, I would love to take on this job. Tell me all the tent poles that I need to hit as far as babysitter and I'll find that.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

What a matchup we got, y'.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

All.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. Band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat everybody. Showing that school pride game like this. Yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Ashton fans, school colors everywhere and an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo. No matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.

[Will]

One in three people untreated, just don't wake up. I may be the one in three. It feels as if someone removed all my skin down to the muscle and.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

Covered me in a wool blanket. All you want to do is find.

[Will]

The magic wand that's going to take.

[Derek]

All of this away.

[Will]

We just couldn't find it. She was screaming uncontrollably like she was in pain. It was very, very clear that something was going wrong.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

How do you fight an unknown enemy?

[Will]

And I was walking back and I lost my vision. I did not know what was going on.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

Nothing like that had ever happened to me before. Searching for clues while the clock ticks.

[Will]

Doctors gave her a timeline of we don't think you'll have passed your 25th birthday.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

And the stakes couldn't be higher.

[Derek]

I am not going to be okay if we're too late to help Rosie. She's a mission.

[Will]

We have to get it done in time.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

For Rosie, I'm Lauren Bright Pacheco, host of Symptomatic, a medical mystery podcast. Listen to all new episodes wherever you get the stories that matter to you.

[Delta One Announcer]

Picture this. Your trip hasn't even started, but it already feels like a vacation. Private. Check in exclusive lounges, dedicated service showers, spa chairs, chef curated menus. That's Delta one, where your getaway begins before you even board. And it all starts right from the moment you get to the airport for a flight to, let's say, London. You enjoy a stress free private check in and then wait for boarding at the exclusive Delta one line lounge. Your partner came straight from the gym, so they hop in the shower while you kick back in a massage chair. And it only gets better once you're in the air where you are priority number one or priority Delta one. Let's talk about the dining. Each dish thoughtfully crafted by acclaimed chefs with a wine selection curated by Delta's master sommelier. Maybe you choose one of the seasonal entrees trays while your partner picks a regional selection. That's the attention to detail you only get with Delta One. After dinner, it's time to relax. And if you've flown Delta one, you've experienced the Missoni bedding. That Missoni magic is even available in a slipper form.

[Will]

Yes.

[Derek]

Let me own my role. Let me be great.

[Will]

Which Jill. Jill will allow that, but I need to ask that upfront of like, what? Okay. Needs to be a registered nurse. Got it. Needs to be local. Got it. Needs, you know, look at us, man.

[Derek]

Just trying to figure it out and solve it. Dad's out there like, yeah, yeah.

[Will]

Go Willy.

[Derek]

One shelf, go.

[Will]

Yeah. Hey. Also, what I be trying to tell my wife, shout out my favorite comment from the week in was the clip of Will being like, yeah, I'm. I'm reading now. I read. And somebody said artist formerly known as Willie One Page. Willie One Page. That's phenomenal. Oh, Willie. 90 pages.

[Derek]

Yeah, I'm over 100 now.

[Will]

100 plus pages.

[Sherman]

Hey, Willie bookshelf.

[Will]

Willie bookshelf.

[Derek]

Willie Bookshelf, baby.

[Will]

That's a Derek original. Original. That's a Derek Original.

[Derek]

What should we get into? Voicemails. Crack a cold one. I mean, we've said a lot of stuff that's like hacks. By the way, you kind of slid that in there as a dad hack earlier when you talk about taking the baby wipe and put on the baby stomach.

[Will]

Yes, sir.

[Derek]

That's for a five month old. So people in that world, you're trying to keep them awake to drink the bottle. That sounds like a great dad hack.

[Will]

She didn't sound miserable like when I was doing it. Like she wasn't crying or anything. It would rouse her enough to be.

[Derek]

Like, that's the game. There ain't no. Yeah. Like whatever. Whatever it takes.

[Will]

Whatever it.

[Derek]

Wake your young ass up and drink this bottle.

[Will]

Drink this baba. Yeah, crack. Okay, so crack a cold one. Because what would it be if we didn't do a crack a cold one really quick?

[Derek]

It'd be a episode. It'd be us forgetting to take out the trash.

[Will]

Exactly.

[Derek]

Conceptually.

[Will]

Conceptually. Can I not like I Liquid IV's.

[Derek]

Trash, but just conceptually? Yeah, you got it. You got it.

[Will]

It's a. It's a thing that is so important that I want to do an overarching crack a cold one. This goes to the entire. For the dad's extended network. I'm talking production team, I'm talking us two, I'm talking the moms, the wives, etc. Crack a cold one to us. And just being able to go rocket when they call in the last lefty. I have an arctic raspberry this.

[Derek]

I know it's going to taste good.

[Will]

It is going to taste phenomenal. If you go to liquid I.com for and use code busin, you will get 20% off your first order. Also, Liquid IV, more hydrating than just 16 ounces of water alone. Liquid IV will keep you hydrated. It will help you rip. What is more important, staying warm or staying hydrated in the cold season as well?

[Derek]

Both.

[Will]

Both. They also have hot cocoa so you can stay warm and hydrated. The hot cocoa has electrolytes. Crack a cold one. Shout out.

[Derek]

Us. Shout out Liquid iv, man.

[Will]

Shout out Liquid iv.

[Derek]

My. My cracker. Cole one's just gonna go to meeting Santa Claus. Taking photos with Santa Claus. And it went beautifully, boys. Like, beautifully. Rue conquered her fear taking a photo with Santa. Smiled. And Scotty learned from her new fear. Yeah, she learned a new fear of Santa Claus.

[Will]

Okay.

[Derek]

And it was incredible. I caught a little video and I already know to myself, I see Scotty hanging on mom a little tight. So I'm, you know, as dad. I know a funny moment's coming. Let me slide out the phone and get the video rolling, because I already know she's gonna start crying.

[Will]

Come on.

[Derek]

Boom. Take Scotty, sit her on Santa Claus's lap, and you just see it all happen. Face starts to go. She starts to cry. I'm chuckling behind the camera, and she just helplessly sits, thinking she's about to. This is her last moment on earth as this gentleman in a red suit and white beards holding her.

[Will]

Will's behind the camera. Hey, there you go, Scott.

[Derek]

There you go, Scott. You mean Santa Claus. You're doing so good. Oh, dude. Rue was nervous, but she. She met Santa. We took a family photo together, and then she wanted to it a second time. And her and Scotty. Scotty cried again.

[Will]

Yay.

[Derek]

R. Conquered her fear with Santa Claus this year.

[Will]

Good.

[Derek]

And Scotty learned her fear of Santa Claus this year. So it was. It was perfect.

[Will]

That's a cold one worthy of cracking, sir.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Will]

Do we want to get into call ins?

[Derek]

Yeah, let's do it, man.

[Will]

Let's do it.

[Derek]

Let's get into callins. Again. You want to be featured on the show? Six on one, the dads call in, leave a voicemail. We'll feature you on the show, and we will send you some merchandise.

[Chef]

While Sherman's pulling this up, real quick question for the audience. Did anyone listen to our Halloween story? Because if you did and you enjoy it, we'll do a Christmas one. But I want to make sure we didn't get any comments on it when we posted it. So I don't know if anyone saw it. It was at the end of the episode.

[Will]

But I really want to do it.

[Chef]

Another because it was really fun.

[Derek]

We posted the Halloween story, and it got zero comments.

[Chef]

People might have listened. We don't know. But we didn't get any.

[Sherman]

We didn't really get.

[Derek]

I personally, in my head, did we.

[Chef]

Get comments, thought, oh, okay, we got comments.

[Derek]

I personally, in my head, thought it was going to be some, like, AI animated storytelling happening, not just a kind of like, we're. It's just, you know, a little song. And then like, yeah, yeah, we're gonna.

[Chef]

We're gonna expand on it. That was the first run.

[Derek]

And then, like, when I'm doing my character, I'm envisioning what this character might look like when the YouTube rolls out, but when it just kind of sat there on, like, a, you know, like a desktop background with a little bit of music while the story just went I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

[Chef]

And that. That was on. That was on me. But if we get a chance at a Christmas. Christmas shot, we're gonna go big and it's gonna be great. But we just need to know if we want animation. I just need to do it early because I don't know how to animate. But I'll figure it out.

[Derek]

Yeah, again, that was just what I was thinking in my head. It was going to be.

[Chef]

We kind of knew when we put up, I was like, this is. It is like the lo fi. YouTube.

[Derek]

Yeah. But so if it got no comments, I'm almost like, I can.

[Chef]

People reached out.

[Derek]

I read through a lot of people.

[Sherman]

Sent in pictures of like, we had a couple images that people having their kid watching Watch the leaves fall and the story on and stuff like that.

[Derek]

And people commented, okay, okay, I missed Derek. Derek says people reached out. Would you just your family, the video and group chat and they just thumbs up it.

[Will]

No, I have a comment right here that says milo the bat rips. Way to go, Willie. Okay, perfect. Way to go, Willie.

[Chef]

I must have read him like right when the episode came out and then didn't bother because I read. I was like.

[Derek]

And also, I don't want to do this to myself.

[Will]

I don't want to. Who voiced Benny the Puppy Academy Award winner?

[Sherman]

Me.

[Chef]

I've.

[Will]

There's like eight more. I don't. I don't want to read. That's.

[Chef]

That's all me then.

[Will]

[Taylor]

What's up, boys? This is Taylor from Idaho. PT Sixer. Now for. I mean, my little girl. She is 18 months old. Just need some advice here. My wife and I, as of the last, I think, eight or 10 months, we've been making sure that we switch off bath time every night, right? So whoever does the bath, the other person does the dishes. And I won't lie. Shame on me. For a little while, I was always like, son of a. It's my turn to do the bath, right? But now I'm start. I obviously, I know that I need to not take the bath time for granted. It's some extra, extra special time that I get to spend with my daughter, Emmy. And she's at that age where she's not, like, talking like, she can understand me, but she's not talking. What the heck do I do in the bath with her? Do I just, like, chat with her? Do I just, like, sing her some songs? Do I just, like, continue to play with the toys? And I just kind of hang out and chill, Like, I don't know what to do. Like, how do I make that extra stuff special for her? Am I supposed to be teaching her things in the bath? What do y' all do for bath time? Do you let them hang out for a long time? Do you get the cleaning done and get out? Like, what. What does bath time look like?

[Will]

God, what a call in.

[Derek]

Hey, this is a man that needs some help.

[Will]

He needs some help like we all do. I don't even. I don't even know how to answer that question because I'm trying to think what I do during bathroom halftime.

[Derek]

You just kind of play and talk to him.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Like, I'm picturing my man. What's his name?

[Will]

A. Timothy.

[Derek]

Timothy, right. From Idaho.

[Will]

From Idaho. Timothy from Idaho.

[Derek]

Just picturing Tim just set the kid in the bathtub, and he's just kind of sitting there looking at her, just thinking, what do I do here?

[Will]

What did. So what? Okay, we clean the baby. What's next, wife?

[Derek]

You come downstairs, baby's clean. Wife's like, you guys have fun with bath time. He's like, I think. I guess. I don't know. I just looked at her.

[Will]

I pour. I need to record myself. I think I'm gonna record myself to where you just see me during bath time to see what I Do. Because I'm actually interested. I do a ton of baby talk.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Will]

I know that you're just sitting there.

[Derek]

Kind of conversing with them. Like.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

I'm picturing especially if Rue, back when she was 18 months, because he's in a. He's in a great. He's in a great pocket for age. Like, I feel like 16 months sticks out as is the month where Rue's personality really started to show up a little bit.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

I'm just thinking. Yeah, 18 months, you get your kiddo in the water. You know, is it too. Oh, it's not too hot. Oh, it feels just right. And you kind of slowly get them in the water, and you're like, oh, is that warm and cozy? And you take the little cup, you start, like, pouring it on their little body. Like, oh, here comes it on the right shoulder. Boop. Or you start getting their hair. Oh, can I get. You don't want it in your eyes. Let me block it. Can you look up a little bit? You got to look up or water's gonna get in your eyes. You pour it on them. Oh, look at. Look at your toys. Whether it's a little scrunch ones that's just, like, letters.

[Will]

Yeah, yeah.

[Derek]

Or we have a couple little fish, a couple little things she can play with that are kind of connected to the side of the bathtub where she can spin it or whatever. Again, trying to picture her at 18 months old, because Scotty's one, we kind of have her sitting on that little.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Like, trike thing where they got a little seat that you set them on. And those are quick. Those are like, quick baths, right?

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Derek]

Like, you sit there and you dump the cup on them a couple times. You get the soap at the rag. You go around there, you like, sing them a song or play with them or talk about splashing. It's like, at that age, too, like Scotty, it's like, hey, do you want to splash? Splash, splash, splash. You kind of them out of splash, and they splash. Oh, my gosh. You love splash under the neck.

[Will]

Oh, that tickles.

[Lauren Bright Pacheco]

That tickle.

[Derek]

Tle the neck. Tickle the neck. And then, you know, soap their head. Scrub it.

[Will]

I maybe a dad hack waterproof book. We got one at Target.

[Derek]

Nice.

[Will]

It's fun. It's got little pictures in it. Then Scarlet's, like, just now being able to, like, hold things with both hands. I put the book in. In her hands, and she's holding it and putting it in her mouth instead of reading it. And I'm talking for Scarlet.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Will]

Oh, dad. Guys, I like this book. Oh, really? Scarlett, are you reading the book?

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Will]

Such a good job.

[Derek]

Tim strikes me as a man who. He's confused on what to do when the job is so easy. But he seems like a man's man to where he's pretty reserved and doesn't say a whole lot of words. Doesn't necessarily care to communicate his emotions. Just wants to, like, feel pain or anger and kind of, you know, stay quiet.

[Will]

It. Yeah.

[Derek]

Be very internal. That's who he strikes me as.

[Will]

But this parsley, during bath time.

[Derek]

Yeah, this bath game is easy. Just you got to think to flip the switch in your brain and think, I'm gonna sound stupid right now and obnoxious, but I'm gonna do it with my little girl.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

That's all it is. Because Godzilla, the difference between Rue and Scotzilla, Rue, she would have to tilt her head because she hates when, like, water gets in her eyes and everything else. Godzilla. I'll dump the cup on her head. I'll damn near waterboard her a couple times because she's just sitting there. She hit. She eats it, bro. She eats it. I mean, dump it on her head. You know, when you get a little curious, okay. If a little bit gets on their eyes, like, how do they react?

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Derek]

She, like, smiles or whatever, and then I'm like, you know, get a little cup of water and then, like, dump it on her head and then she smiles. I'm like, okay, you got to mess with the water now. Let's get a little action here, Scotty.

[Will]

Oh, yeah, that's exactly. Like, Scarlet's, like, reaching at the. I like, you know, poured the cup on her and stuff. She's, like, reaching for the water.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Will]

Gets on her face and she kind of, like, shakes. But then she's like, okay, I want more.

[Derek]

Yeah. There's another little dad hack in during bath time is you take the cup of water. Get you a big cup of water, too, and just do, like, a slow pour in front of them to where they have, like, that little stream, and they just want to grab it and they're figuring out what water is, what it feels like. Oh, my gosh. Is this going through my hand? How's it going? Going around. Whenever I take my hand out, the stream still goes all the way down to the water. What? I can't grab it and pull it. And they're just kind of fascinating. You just stare at him and Scarlet, is that water?

[Will]

Oh, my goodness. Are you thirsty? You can't drink it. It's got soapy in it. And Scarlet, her brain is telling her that looks like I could drink that. And so whenever I like pour it under like her neck, the entire time she's going, trying to drink it. I'm like, oh, no, no, no, don't drink this soap.

[Derek]

Or they take some scrunchy and kind of put it in their mouth. No, that's dirty water. You don't want to drink that water.

[Will]

You don't want to drink that water.

[Derek]

No, no. Cut it out. Stop. Sorry, that was.

[Will]

You're ruining bath time.

[Derek]

No, we don't drink that water. That water's bad for you. No, that's dirty water. All right. Okay, stop. Cut it out. You want right now?

[Will]

Yeah, yeah. So you just want to go to bed? Okay. Baby proof. Thank you, Timothy from Timothy. Baby proofing the Xmas tree.

[Caller - Santa Willie]

Santa Willie, I need some advice here. Maybe you guys could discuss this one on the pod. As you know, it's Christmas season. I got a 1 1/2 quarter year old son. He's at that age where he's walking but not quite speaking English yet. Just jibber. Jib Cavern. And it's Christmas tree time. House already is closing in on us because we got toys all over the place, man. I'm tripping on little race cars, Legos, building blocks. We're watching Ms. Rachel on repeat, trying to introduce the young buck to the Charlie Brown Christmas specials.

[Will]

Things of that nature.

[Caller - Santa Willie]

This guy wants to tear down our Christmas tree. I've tried fences, pieces. I've tried putting it on a table. It's a Bad News Bears type situation here. What's your Christmas tree? Proof of baby advice. What do you got for me? I. I need a life raft here because I'm about to go get my third Christmas tree. Because for some reason these things, they just keep getting up. One of them was too. I went too light and it fell. Fell off the stand. I'm not about to a rebuild a stand. The other one had bugs in it. Kid had bugs in his hair and stuff. Bad News Bears. Maybe I gotta get a bad. A fake tree. I don't know the issue, but any baby proof Christmas tree advice. Hope you and Sherm are good. Merry Christmas, brother.

[Will]

I hope you're good. Good luck. Good luck with those bugs in the Christmas tree.

[Caller - Santa Willie]

What?

[Will]

They're coming from every direction now.

[Derek]

I hate it. I grew up a real tree kid. We'd go to the tree farm, we cut it down. My dad would.

[Will]

We.

[Derek]

My brothers and I, we'd pretend to play Deer Hunter 6 while we were out there running around looking for a Christmas tree.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

And. But I'm a fake tree guy, okay? I'm a fake tree guy. I hate to admit it, but it is what it is. Yeah, it's easier. You get it going up every year. You put it back in the box, and it sounds like what he's dealing with. A little demon. He sees a tree. This is King Kong now, going through the jungle, ripping off the tree and everything else. To me, the first one is, well, you can get a fake tree, but I don't know how to. I don't know how to stop the rushing attack to the Christmas tree. Scotty's the same way. Scotty. Damn near she did. She broke Rue's first ornament. It's kind of cracked all over, so it's very sensitive. It will fall apart. We do have it back on the tree. It's hanging off her deer life. Life right now.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

But if it goes down again, it's over with. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.

[Will]

Help me.

[Derek]

Yeah, help me. I. I don't know how to stop my child from grabbing the ornaments on the Christmas tree.

[Will]

I have this off. I have this off.

[Chef]

How high can she reach?

[Derek]

I mean, she. But she could probably reach, like, this.

[Will]

High, and that's about three feet off.

[Derek]

The ground, lower part of the tree. You know what I mean? Like, I know you can put the ornaments up higher, but she's still grabbing at this stuff on the tree. And you just got to say, scotty, gentle, gentle. And you're kind of approaching them slowly. Go ahead, Sherm.

[Will]

Okay, really quick solve. Target has indestructible ornaments by the baby. Its own tree that it can fuck up and put the indestructible ornaments. Ornaments on it and just let them have it.

[Derek]

Now, hang on. These indestructible ornaments, can you still take them off the tree? Oh, yeah. That's what I'm saying.

[Will]

What's wrong with that?

[Derek]

Just ornaments all over the floor.

[Will]

That's okay.

[Derek]

You still got to hang them back on the tree.

[Will]

Main tree.

[Derek]

That's what parents are trying.

[Will]

Still good.

[Derek]

That's what parents are trying to figure out here, is when the baby gets close to the tree and they got a hold of an ornament and you don't just want to snap. Hey, stop. Sometimes they'll do that. Scott, stop. Scotty, no, no, no. And you almost. You're approaching them like they're. Like they have a Gun on them.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Like Scotty, easy, gentle. And you slowly start walking towards them. Gentle. They start smiling a little bit. Easy.

[Will]

She starts bouncing.

[Derek]

Grab her. No. And then you grab them and just remove them from the situation. Then you just hope you're sitting there playing your basketball in them, guarding them so they don't get to the tree. And I just kind of guide her. Go over there, Go over there. Look at that over there. Go get the ball.

[Will]

And that's where the fake tree, the fake small tree comes in. Look at that little thing. Go that thing up.

[Derek]

Okay, I. I see what you're saying to me. No matter what, they're still ripping off. Like, if you get the indestructible ornaments, like, yeah, it sucks that the, that ruse ornaments broken. But no matter what, she's ripping off ornaments from the thing. Like, I still gotta. I get on my hands and knees. You got to put the little hook back in the thing and then you put the ornament back on the tree.

[Will]

Well, that. Okay, so what, what? Here's what I would do to explain it really quick. I would put a fence, like a dog type gate around real, real Christmas tree with breakable ornaments to distract child by $15 tree that's only like 2ft tall. Put a bunch of indestructible ornaments on it, and then that's what they're up all the time. Does that make sense?

[Derek]

Yeah. I want to get, get a gate, a cage of some sort, and just put Scotty in it. Like, every time she gets involved in something, she's climbing up on r step stool. Now, like, I'll look over and I just see her little head popping up from the island. I'm like, scotty, how'd you get over there? I've told you, you can't climb this. She gets around everything. She. She clears out every cabinet that has stuff in it.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Derek]

This is every day. And I tell Char every time, sweetheart, this is why I want to get.

[Will]

A cake stage for get a little play pin.

[Derek]

Yeah. She needs to be like, ugga during the SEC championship game to where UG is just sitting in the kennel.

[Will]

You can't come outzilla, bro. She is aga. Yeah. And Chef, I'm so sorry. Please, what was your thoughts on it?

[Chef]

This might be a bad idea.

[Will]

Okay.

[Chef]

But as a kid, my parents, under our tree, we had in a little Rudolph the reindeer electronic train. It's a train that just goes around the tree. And maybe it's a little bit of a smoke and mirrors thing that they're seeing like an actual moving train come around. And she doesn't want to de. They might. Because for me and my little brother, that was never an issue. I don't know if it's because we would turn on the train and watch it go around the tree.

[Derek]

You're probably just scared of the trains.

[Chef]

No, I don't think so.

[Derek]

I think you're a. You were probably scared. Come on. You know, he was like, I'm not going to get ran over by the train.

[Chef]

My number one show is a kid.

[Derek]

Is Thomas of Tankin.

[Will]

I think you're a kid. You were scared.

[Derek]

I think. I think you as a one year old, you was a chef.

[Will]

Mama tuck you in.

[Derek]

She give. How many. How many bedtime kisses did you get?

[Chef]

Chef, I come to you with a solution.

[Will]

You're. He's on your team. He's on your team.

[Derek]

Oh, llama, llama. Red pajama. Was that your favorite book do Chef? No, Will.

[Will]

Jeff.

[Derek]

Cuz if Scotty saw a train, that train's getting up.

[Will]

Okay. I was about to say, but maybe it's the train.

[Chef]

You buy the train knowing that the train's going to be a sacrificial lamb. And then you hang all the. All the ornaments that are breakable. You don't want those. Stay above. Halfway up the tree line.

[Derek]

Yeah. Then I'll look over and Scott Zillow will be at the top of the tree turning down the star.

[Will]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chef]

You might be a.

[Derek]

You look up there. Scotty's up there. What the.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

What a matchup we got, y'.

[Will]

All.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat, everybody. Showing that school pride game like this.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

It calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, Ah. Crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there.

[Derek]

Mmm.

[Coca Cola Announcer]

Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere and an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo. No matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.
