We're out there. We're out there. And nothing gets us more juice than seeing the numbers go up. Taking a bit of a hit during football season. That was expected.

[A]

That's expected.

[B]

We need to bring in our coach speak, bring in our football talk as we continue to grow this channel, because there are the pt6. Look, as long as we have the pt6 sickos and the milk team 66 sickos and everybody engaging the way that they have been, we're going to be just fine. Would love to see some growth during the football season because that tells me we already know we got a brand. But this is. Can.

[A]

Can we do an overarching thank you. Because I know on the live stream, I was only there for the Thursday one, but I'm guessing they probably did it on the Saturday one too. Saw a lot of pt6 comments.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

On the live stream.

[B]

It. Nothing gets the piss out more than seeing Papa Team 6 show up in the comments of our other shows. Whatever we're doing, checking in with Fat Stafford and Willie. One shelf. If you want to. If you really want to make a name for yourself in the PT6 community, it's going to bwtb.com this hat.

[A]

This hat.

[B]

You see? Is this hat in the store? The black one?

[A]

I'm gonna have to confirm that, Chef.

[B]

I'm telling you right now, Chef is our lead producer of the show, the captain of Seaman Team 6, and I am not lying, bro. Papa Team 6. People are going nuts about this black hat. If it's not in the store right now, we're gonna have problems in the comment section. Because they want it. I want them to have it. I don't make those decisions. I'm like, yeah, yeah, we should have it. Hell, yeah. I love the black cat, too.

[A]

We have problems in the comments section about the black hat. There are riots being formed. Yeah.

[B]

I hope they storm the shop and figure out where we are and hold whoever's running the merch shop at the Garrett. Alex, whoever. Up against the wall with a knife. Where is the black hat that big drops?

[A]

It's gonna be a problem. It's gonna. We're gonna sell out in five seconds. Tell them double it. Whatever it is, double it.

[B]

Because BT6 is coming.

[A]

They're coming.

[B]

The beaches of Normandy, they're coming.

[A]

Also this guy.

[B]

We do have some stuff dropping soon. Oh, that's not in there either. So we're talking about shit that might not even be in the store.

[A]

We do.

[B]

It will be.

[A]

Well, me, you know, it is in the store.

[B]

Well, tell us the.

[A]

Our merch team so graciously gifted me with, and I mean that in sincerity. This was awesome to find on my desk. Good onesie.

[B]

We got adults. Listen, the babies, they can't hear this. They can't see the. The good onesie. Maybe the mom wolf. You have a mom sitting there at home right now in the living room with her husband.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, let's get that. Let's get that. Let's get that for Julian.

[A]

Oh, sure. We've made a good point.

[B]

Yeah, let's get the little onesie. But the adult stuff, we gotta get rocking. We got Papa Team 6 shirts. That's the biggest thing you want. You want. You want to be a name in the community? You get the Papa Team 6 shirt. You get the dad hoodie. There's other T shirts and hats in there. This hat's in there. It's just in like a. Like a light brown. Like a brown color. Do we got that right here? I know you want in black pt6, and we're gonna get it for you in black very soon. If it's not there right now, and I don't think of what I'm hearing right now is it's not there because the boys behind the camera, it's not.

[A]

I talked to G earlier this morning. Very soon. As soon as we know an updated. On a drop date, we will tell you guys, along with the hats and then also an upcoming PT6 shirt. We have another one coming out.

[B]

Another iteration.

[A]

And you've seen that one?

[B]

I've seen that one. I love it. I need a different. I was telling you I want different colors.

[A]

Okay. We need different colors for that one also. I'm hearing that we're going to be doing. It's going to be volume drops with the PT6 shirts. That's only with our PT6 shirts. So everybody that got one this first iteration, that's volume one. Volume two will be dropping soon. And also, did we even touch on. Are they seeing you right now, Chef and Derek? I think they are.

[B]

Are they seeing the leader of Semen Team six out there?

[A]

There he is. There they are. Look at those handsome mugs. We're out of applause.

[B]

We heard the comments. They wanted a camera for the. For the boys in the back behind the desk. We got it. But yeah, the. The. The four of the dads pennant hanging. Hanging up back there. Buying Fat stuffy.

[A]

Did you hang that?

[B]

People know that thing fell like eight different times a couple episodes ago. But it's sitting right behind there on stack Stafford.

[A]

I think you did a fine job hanging it.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Yes, sir.

[B]

Thank you, my friend. Yeah, one thing we don't need either. We don't need a holdout until the black hats come. I hope pt6 is not out there ready to hold out on buying merch because we got some good merch.

[A]

We got to be careful. They know what we look and they know what y' all look like now too. So we got to act and we got to act fast.

[B]

Should we. Should we hit some comments we love?

[A]

Would love to. And I have some crazy ones this week.

[B]

And the boys, by the way, shout out. Derek, social guy. We got some cards now to read some comments. I still took a few screenshots of my own same, but our boy Derek put some comments on these. What are these called? Cards.

[A]

Cue cards.

[B]

Cue cards. Some for the dad's cue cards. Those are not in the store either.

[A]

Very nice.

[B]

I'll go ahead and kick it off. Had a hard one for you boys that I need help with. I don't want to start. I don't want to start off the episode crying yet.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Here we go. This one is from Ian. Natch. Ian, natch. 7366. PT6, fam. Sure, Sherm. Chef Derek, Willie. One shelf. My name's Ian. I'm an army veteran from Missouri. But go War Eagle and a dad to a three year old little savage boy. I got out of the army in 2020 and have struggled to find the brotherhood I had in the military. I lost one of my best friends from my unit to suicide in February. RIP Sergeant Brandon Rock. I miss you, buddy. I found the show in June and it's given me something to look forward to every week. And when I was and still admitted and admittedly still am struggling with the loss. Thank you for the needed laughs and the Brotherhood here with pt6. Good. Love you boys. Let's fucking kill this week. I love how I said I didn't want to read an emotional one and that one got emotional, right?

[A]

Yeah, dude. Ian, could not agree more with you. On a personal level, I feel the same way about the show as well with just being able to feel that like camaraderie and it makes me so happy that that is coming through the camera, that that's coming through the earbuds that people are getting, that friendship, that camaraderie, that brotherhood or sisterhood for the MT6ers out there. But I love hearing that. Thank you for your vulnerability, brother.

[B]

And just building off that because I had another one. Barbie Hayson.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

6286. This is to shout out the military moms and dads. Love the show. Thought for a show. Military dads and moms. Shout out, shout out to them dealing with them missing monumental moments. Thank God we have FaceTime and other social media to stay present. I am a daughter of a veteran. My dad served 20 years in the army and my mom was a trooper. Trooper raising us without dad. Maybe just a shout out to them.

[A]

Dude, let's go.

[B]

Yeah, shout out. Yeah, definitely shout out the military.

[A]

Shout out the military boys and those.

[B]

Guys who, who are tuning in that you know, get some connection.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And relatability like through us. Because I'm sure that they carry such extremes amount of guilt serving their country and doing the things that they feel like they need to be doing and missing big moments. I, I, I personally truly can only imagine what those guys go through just because again, like you gotta assume these guys are ready to die for the country, like put their life on the line to protect and serve while also having such a strong tug and guilt not being back home like with their family, with their kids.

[A]

I, I, big time, dude. I cried seeing Scarlett at the airport after a week of not seeing her in person because the onesie that she was wearing the toes used to poof out. It was too big for her. And then I go to pick her up at the airport and it, it's fitting her snug. I literally teared up. That's after a week, dude.

[B]

Isn't it nuts? Like especially when you have the first one. I, I still like seeing the same stuff as little old Scott Zillow, Scotty Jolie. But you're gone for a few days and you come back and you're like, you're growing up on me. She's. They've gotten huge. Your voice is changing huge.

[A]

Her eyes, the way they open now, I'm just like you're actually seeing now. Like it's, oh, it was rough. It was rough. Okay, I have a good one. I have a good one. We have a little surprise for Willie C. Oh, okay. This came from Derek who found it on our for the dads Instagram page. Shout out Derek. This comes from Darren N. Been listening to for the dadspot since day one. I have an 11 week old boy and this podcast has given me a lot of laughs and advice to get me through the newborn Trenches name is Darren and I've been a longtime follower of bussing with the boys because of Will Compton. I worked with the redskins back in 2014 as a training camp preseason athletic trainer intern. I was assigned to hydrate the inside linebackers. Shout out Coach KO I just listened to last week's episode and I got a picture of me and a Gatorade towel over my shoulder because Will would always take the towel to wipe the inside of his helmet. Almost every rep of indie drills been meaning to share this fake and thought Will would appreciate this. Shout out Sherm for all your tips and the recent Mom Cozy bottle washer portable set which we just bought because of you. Awesome Darren. He provided this wonderful picture of old Will Compton circa 2014. Look at that.

[B]

That's your boy. That's when I was number 46. Like, that's when it was. When it was P squad for your boy. It's my first training camp here.

[A]

Hold it, hold it. You talk about it while you hold it.

[B]

All right, so here, here, here's myself with me and my boy Darren. And yeah, this photo right here is your boy rocking number 46. This is my first training camp. This is my rookie year and I was 46. I was at the bottom of the depth chart. I think I was seven out of seven with the linebackers. Like, I wasn't even with the threes. I got to rotate in with the threes. And I was number 46. And I thought as I was wearing the jersey, I'm like, your boy's not going to last long because who else was 46? Alfred Morris, pro bowl running back for the Washington Redskins at the time. So I thought it was just tick tock for your boy. But this photo is awesome. It warms my heart. It fires me up that Darren's tuning in the Papa Team 6 and for the dad's podcast. And I tried telling you didn't like and had to be dry and ruse.

[A]

She got it from Pops.

[B]

See her, like, when she gets done crying and stuff, she takes like a good, like, three minutes just to make sure everything's dry. And just like you are daddy's girl.

[A]

Can I. Can I say something just really quick that will probably break your heart? Rue is growing up, dude.

[B]

I know, man.

[A]

I'm seeing these pictures. I'm like, that's not a little toddler. That's a little girl.

[B]

I know, I know. And it's. I was reflecting on it too, because I feel like she's just our relationship. It's. It's always been Strong. But I feel like she's actually becoming like a. Like, we're actually like, homies. Because we were watching the other night when I was. We were watching Sunday night football. Ravens, Bills. And I tweeted about this, too, because she kept bringing up the yellow team. But Scotty. Mom had. Scotty upstairs was putting her down. We didn't want to go upstairs yet. And the little itch for me was, like, the game starting. I would love to not miss kickoff. So I was like, you can watch a series with your old man before we go upstairs, but after the series is over, we got to go upstairs and get ready for bed. She said, okay. We're sitting there watching the first series, and she just hits you with just random. I love you, dad.

[A]

Dad.

[B]

Just. We're sitting there watching ball, man. So that the black team and then the Bills were wearing. Bills were wearing their blues, right? Yeah, they're blues. She's like, oh, who's the blue team? I'm like, buffalo Bills. Your daddy almost played for the Bills. And then she was like, the black team. She's like, did you play on the black team and the blue team? I was like, no. Your dad had played on a different black team. The Raiders and the Red and the red team with the Redskins. And then dad had also played on a blue team, but it's not the same blue team as the Titans. And she started. You know, we're sitting there just watching the first drive. She just slowly. She's, like, leaning back on. She's like, I love you, dad. Dad, like, looks up at me, and it. It's so awesome, but also so sad at the same time.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Just because she is growing up.

[A]

She's growing up, dude.

[B]

Yeah, she is. And she's. She's just a stud, man. She had her. We had our first soccer practice with her last week, and that was a lot of fun. I couldn't wait to just get the lawn chairs, have me a. A liquid death. I needed a cold. Dr. Death. Liquid death.

[A]

The doctor deaths. Shout out, no free.

[B]

Shout out, no free shot. Because I. I had already had. You know how your boys are on the shop. Like, I'm pounding these first forms. Like, there are these form energies. Like, you're going out of style. Couldn't have one at, like, five o'.

[A]

Clock. I have two right here.

[B]

Y. They're great. But couldn't wait to just go sit in the lawn chair and just watch her play. She was the only girl, and she's, like, shy. She's very attentive. Doesn't have to. Need to get the killer instinct out of her. She's kind of, you know, bashful, like, does everything right and stuff. But I need to see her take down a couple of the boys. Like, beat them in some of the races that they were doing. She scored a couple goals. Like when they put the nets down, they let you dribble it down there and kick it in.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

But it was just. It's fun.

[A]

Is she hitting any ballet dance moves out on the field?

[B]

Like, she hit his spin one time. Not yet, but she, like, they're talking about a dance move and she like, you know, she hit. She hit a. Just an incredible spin.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Leg kicked up and everything else. Kid is a stallion on the scooter. I've talked about it many times. Just blowing our, you know, our nanny. Our nanny at home. Like, she just blows her away with some of the new tricks. Like, she just. We've.

[A]

I.

[B]

Listen, I bragged enough about Rue on the scooter, but she is. She's growing up. She's a spark plug, bro. She's very sweet, knows what she wants. Got some attitude with her when it comes to us. But if it's another authority figure, everything else, like, she's very, very shy and calm and sweet. Yeah. But it's not seeing her grow up. I'm excited for this phase, but.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Charo, we have this, by the way, this could be a survivor survival kit.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Is we have this digital frame that's like, connected to like, Charles phone to the cloud. And it just.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

It just rips old photos. So you just see the old photos of Ru. It's got his age and Ru at a year and a half and just moments where it's like. Ah, it makes me sad. Not like, those are gone. Yep, those are gone.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

All we have now is the photos and videos. That's why it's like, take as many photo and videos as you can because it's gone.

[A]

Shout out whoever DM'd me that exact dad hack. You were on my. I have a saved album of, like, future dad hacks. That was going to be one of mine. Or Survival kids. Sorry. Yeah, I think as many of those.

[B]

Take as many as possible, man. Videos. All of it. Then there you see Scott Zilla scooting across the floor this morning.

[A]

Oh, no.

[B]

Like Parsons going after that.

[A]

Put it up, put it up, put it up, man.

[B]

Drop the video. I like. You know I'm biased. I'm fired up on the world's gotta see this, bro. Send it to Max Crosby. Because I was like Max Crosby going after sex. So I sent it to him. Hey, check out Scotty Jolie. She's a menace. A menace, bro.

[A]

Hey, once a Raider, always a raider. And she's born into that.

[B]

She's born. She's grandfathered in.

[A]

Okay, good.

[B]

The silver and blacks, they look good, by the way. I don't want to sit here and talk about the Raiders, but Geno Smith and that offense, they looked good.

[A]

They did. They did.

[B]

But going all the way back. Yeah. The moments they go by, you're happy that they're growing up because you're. It's a new phase. There are always new challenges and new things to look forward to and be excited about, but you're also sad at the same time because all those moments are dead. Yes.

[A]

Yes. They're like tears in the rain. As was said in. What movie was that? Blade Runner. They're lost. Like tears in the rain.

[B]

Yeah. Amen, bro. That is so true. I know every dad, just. Every parent is just like, God, yeah, man. How. Like, how do you bottle this shit up and make these moments last forever? Especially when you're annoyed and pissed off. Ru, I just don't play for the yellow team.

[A]

And that's okay.

[B]

Yeah, that's okay. We did have to go back and forth, and it got to a point. Hey, quit asking.

[A]

I didn't do it. So quit. Ass.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Go to bed. Yeah. She's like. She gets into this storytelling mode where she's, like, saying the same stuff over and over and over in a way, to where she's like. We're both kind of smiling and laughing, and she gets a chuckle out of me. So she just keeps going and runs the stories and questions into the ground to the point to where she's saying it's still possible to play for the yellow team. Daddy doesn't play anymore. Daddy doesn't play anymore. That was my past life.

[A]

He's done.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Have you seen the X rays on the knee?

[B]

Yeah. You seen the back? You know about the back, Sweetheart, I'm done. I can't play anymore.

[A]

Very heartwarming. Talking about, like, all the time. That is just lost instantly. And I think it's from this comment. JJ sums it up quite nicely with this comment. I thought this was pretty heartfelt. PT6 are going on my third deployment recently. I found myself mounting my lioness, giving some of the best performance of my life. Clapping cheeks so hard that my cheeks were clapping type shit. All of a sudden, the enemy was behind friendly lines. My three year Old daughter. Daddy, what are you doing? The secret assassin was in the room.

[B]

Good.

[A]

I had to think quick. We're playing a game. It's called Belly flop Bad. And that's the first use of the bad with the period. Fellas, if you get caught in action, don't say you're playing a game. I have now made up a game that is called Belly flop that my daughter wants to play profusely. Preserve and overcome. That comes from JJ sells houses on YouTube. I just thought that was pretty heartfelt. I wanted to share that after we were talking about such sweet things.

[B]

Good for that married couple just feeling confident up to clap cheeks midday while the three year olds up and humming around.

[A]

Just daddy mounting his lioness. That is poetry, jj. That's poetry. Thank you.

[B]

Oh my God, dude, that's funny. Yeah, I've never been in a close call with that. You usually you're trying to sneak in a quick mountain before you got to go upstairs and wake them up.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

And you know, you get into the proper position, next thing you know you start hearing like you know, the wake up noise and everything else and you just think in your head gotta getta go, gotta go quick. So you're a morning guy at times, yeah.

[A]

Okay, I'm mostly a morning guy too. I'm glad we share that.

[B]

Yeah, we switch every now and then.

[A]

Yeah, we do too.

[B]

Depends. I get that itch, daddy. Gotta get you. Come on, come on. Sometimes Charl hit me with just in the morning.

[A]

Alexa, set alarm. Set alarm for 4:30am and I promise.

[B]

When that alarm goes off it's like my eyes open up and that's the first thought of my head. Go time, go time. Hey honey, kids are waking up. Don't worry, Daddy's specialty will make it quick. Quick and disappointing. Frodo. Tuning into the podcast. Love the pod fellas. Names, names, names. Ben, Big fan of busting with the boys. And for the dad's pod. I got a funny story that you guys might like. It's a long one so I hope it is. Nope. June 3, 2025, the day of your guys first episode. I remember waking up that day and see suggested on YouTube, clicking on it, seeing if it seeing it was for the dads thinking man that's a great idea. I'll have to run these back. When me and the old lady decided to start popping the little ones out. I go about my day, taking the trash out, mowing the lawn, getting some work done and my lady comes home from work complaining about being nauseous. And feeling bleh all day. I comfort her not thinking anything of it. Day turns into night and we eat dinner and are contemplating whether or not late night ice cream run is the move or not. She is still complaining about feeling bad and says she is three days late on her time of the month. So me and the goober I am suggest let's go get a pregnancy test and get some ice cream and we can put your mind at ease and get a sweet treat. An hour later. And seven positive pregnancy tests in I found out I'm going to become a member of PT6 in March. Been watching the pod every week ever since. You guys help relieve the fears I have about becoming a father by reminding me what it's all about. Keep this going. You're doing all good. P S. If we could get some big and tall sizes in bus with the boy store for us dads that are 65350 former offensive lineman, that would be sick.

[A]

Great note.

[B]

Great note and great story. Congratulations, Frodo.

[A]

Hey, congratulations. And for those at home, that's Frodo spelled F R O D O U G H. Yes. Doe like what is used to make bread.

[B]

[A]

[B]

Yes. But thank you Ben and congratulations to you guys. That's. It's like one of those things where you're like what a sign that was.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

First time seeing the episode going throughout the day. Oh, this will be fun. And then finding out, yo, I'm going to be in PT6.

[A]

Yes, dude. And I love reading those comments. I've gotten just a handful of those here and there of like your first episode coincides with like when we found out that we were pregnant. So whenever I see like the episode come up of let's say this week, week 14. Oh, my wife's 14 weeks pregnant. I love that they have that little counter and that's fun for the dads.

This comes from Amelia White 8130 new milk team 6 here my husband and I also new pt6 member to a 2 month old boy. Love the pod. But please, please have Charo and Jill design some Milk Team six shirts. I'm super jealous of my husband's papa bear shirt. Laughing emoji, hand heart emoji. Heart emoji. Get on it Willy one shelf.

I love that they're jealous because I've.

[B]

Please enlighten me. What did you say? I said, and you probably did say it because these are your guy friends.

[B]

Something like that.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, I said something like that. But I'm thinking, look, dad, life is just as hard.

[A]

It's just as hard. Hey, y' all know those videos of the Ashton guy where he's sprinting? I sent y' all that meme of dads coming to tell you how hard it was to watch their wives give birth on the little hospital couch, and it's just that action guy. I was laughing so hard.

[B]

We wish we could take that pain away.

[A]

Yeah, we really do.

[B]

I wish I could breastfeed.

[A]

I love, love how this conf started with. I love how Milk Cream 6 is bought into us and then it just turned into. We got it hard though.

[B]

Yeah, we got it way hard. Quit talking. But immediately folded like a lawn chair. Listen, I'm aware. Yeah, but dads need a space.

[A]

Oh, you like my show and you want a mom shirt.

[B]

Okay, good.

[A]

I'll stop talking about it. Sorry.

[B]

Oh, shout out the moms.

[A]

Shout out to you guys.

[B]

We love you guys. I do have a question.

[A]

Go ahead.

[B]

How are, how are your systems and operations operating during football weekends? I had a pretty clean weekend some that I'd like to correct. It was week one football.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Where it's full. You know you're rolling out the operation first weekend of NFL in college. So it's like gotta watch ball on Saturday. Ah, honey. NFL starts this weekend. Gotta watch ball on Sunday. Somehow my wife, they had a little bar three outing a little team building out of a winery on Saturday. So your boys got the kiddos at home. Timeline was real silent, real silent on the way. I was operating on Saturday. I'm talking when 6 and 2 on my FanDuel bets and was Operating as a solo dad at home. And it went quite well. Got to have some. Some ball on then. At times, Rue even told me, dad, I can't watch tv. You can't watch tv.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Had to get at the old iPhone. Just kind of have it quiet while I played hide and seek and stuff. As long as I keep up with the scores. See what was happening. Huskers already won. So the hay was in the barn for your boy.

[A]

Hey, was in the barn.

[B]

Hey.

[A]

Was nice little 680 sprinkle the girl.

[B]

Yeah. And while mom was enjoying herself for six hours down south at the winery in Franklin, shaking her ass upside down in a party bus, dad was putting up numbies at home.

[A]

Well deserved for.

[B]

Very well deserved. I was fired up for her. I was. I was like, yeah, listen, if I got to be in the mud on Saturday, like this good. Yeah, yeah. This is a test that I need. There's going to be zero complaining. You're not going to hear from me, sweetheart. One time. One time about where something is. Your boy can operate.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Even with football on the tv.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And operate we did. I'm talking. Scotty took a good long two hour nap. Woke up a couple times, put herself back to sleep after crying for maybe a couple minutes. One time she fell asleep, like sitting up, like, as she was whining. She like, she like fell asleep and then kind of plopped over. It was adorable. She took a great nap. Ruin. I had a great, great time playing hide and seek. Doing some quiet time. Nor she's doing some puzzles and things like that. Ended up taking him to the park around what, 4:00'? Clock? 3:45.

[A]

Oh, nice.

[B]

Part of that second slate at college ball. Wanted to watch it. But hey, let's get the kids out of the house. Yeah. Rue's been bored. It's good for the kids to be bored every now and then that it needs to watch some ball. Balanced it all very well. Lunchtime was on point with the PB and J and some Mac and cheese. Scotty was operating, putting down the bottles left and right. I'm talking puffs. We had them ready to go for her little snack time. She's crawling around, being a little missile. But overall, great effort by the old man. You know, I hate patting myself on the back and you know I hate attention or else I would have been tweeting about it. Took every couple drafts saved. Everybody's real quiet.

[A]

This isn't about me.

[B]

Let's laugh at Willie. One show for not building the show. But you're all real quiet when I'm fucking operating with ball on the screen and watching a three year old and a nine month old. But it was name out of that. Yeah. Wife came home, guess what? She walked in. What was happening when she walked in, Sherman? Go ahead and ask me.

[A]

Oh, hey, Will. What was happening when Charlie walked in?

[B]

Timer was going off. Alexa was going off for the 15 minute timer from heating up dinner. Warm plate ready to go, kids ready to go. Oh, sweetheart, you're still a little. You're still a little tipsy from the, from your party bus. It's okay. Sit down.

[A]

Let's cover you up with this delicious meal.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

As Alexa's going.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Is that the one, y'? All?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Do that again. Yeah, sweetheart, let me get you some water. How's your day? Did you have a blast?

[A]

God, you look beautiful.

[B]

Yeah, I would take you down right now if these kids were in front.

[A]

Of us, but I can't. I'm a good dad. Soon. Yeah, I made dinner for you.

[B]

Yeah, Heated up meal. Hope you're hungry. That's basically making dinner. Well, but all ready to go. All I'm saying, all ready to go.

[A]

Let me tell you a little bit about Wayfair because when I jumped on the site, I did not fully understand what Wayfair had on its website. I thought, it's just home decor, it's just some lamps, it's just some throw pillows. Nothing against lamps and throw pillows. Those are great too. But they have a wide selection on the site and they are the go to place for your game day essentials. You might be thinking, oh, are you just talking recliners and TV stands, which they have those too. No, I am not. I am talking grills, I'm talking folding chairs. I'm talking serveware and barware. Anything that you would need at a Tailgate. Anything that you would need in your man cave. In your mom cave. I don't know if I can say mom cave now that I said that. Is that a double meaning? I don't know. Should we cut it out of the ad read? Maybe we might keep it, but they have everything that you would need to watch your favorite team. When I got on the site, one of the things that we decide we're going to order from Wayfair for our actual set is a Baylor themed wooden cutout. And they have a Nebraska theme wooden cutout too. I literally got on Wayfair's site, I typed in Baylor Bears and it popped right up. So make sure you go to the site, type in your favorite team's name. They're going to have something with your team. They even had a replica. I forgot to say this. They have a replica of the stadium, a Baylor stadium on there and it's like in a plaque. That thing is nice. They got some nice stuff on there. Make sure you go check out the site because there's something for every style and every home, no matter your space or budget.

[B]

Thanks, man.

[A]

I am proud of you because your other half of this show had maybe the worst display of husbandry slash fathery this past weekend.

[B]

No shit.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

You said it was bad, but you know, I don't know. It's like, hey, we don't want to talk until we're on the show.

[A]

This is so.

[B]

I know nothing about your weekend.

[A]

I take my podcaster, like, I give advice here and there, you know, and have fun. I take that cap off this episode and I put on the learner cap and I need Coach Compton to come in.

[B]

Buddy, let's just be frank, okay? We might give bits and pieces of advice, but nobody's figuring it out week in and week out. True. I'm telling you. Matter of Fact, Scotty, dad loss fell off the bottom staircase and hit her head on my watch. That's because I was watching a two minute drill. I think I was watching KU Mizzou at the end of the game because it was a barn burner. And I thought to myself, scottzilla, she's going over by the stairs. Usually she goes up a couple before I make my way over there and, you know, let her climb the entire flight of stairs. And I looked over and even thought that, give her a couple steps and I'll be over there.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

And then she's on her back crying. And that's the first time my wife, she too. My wife tunes in every week because she's got to know what's going on.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And that's her first time hearing that. It was. I wasn't over there because Mizzou KU was on. And all that to say is, buddy, we fuck up. And there could be people be like, I can't believe this. Looks like we all this up. We are not experts by any means. We're gonna have nothing but bad moments as parents.

[A]

And I, I appreciate you saying that. I'm talking thump, Buddy, I. I appreciate you saying that. But if there was a Richter scale of upper E, I, I'm at like a 8.2. That was maybe a 2.6.

[B]

But the guilt that floods through your body when I see her on her back and she's crying like, like Scotty, Scottzilla, she's tougher in a two dollar steak at Waffle House.

[A]

She is, baby, come on.

[B]

So seeing her cry and be upset like, I. I felt low because I knew. I saw her go over there and I thought, after this play, I'm gonna go over and let her climb up versus just getting my ass up. I can still watch the play as I'm. Yeah, she wanted to sit back. I don't know what she was doing, but, man, I heard that thump. And I'm telling Ruhe. This is dadass fault. Don't tell your mother.

[A]

Let me tell your mother. What did she say to that?

[B]

Char doesn't know that part either.

[A]

Oh, she's fine. Char, if you're. If you're a PT6er.

[B]

Yeah. And she's probably shaking her head right now and. Oh, yeah, but Charo, like, she's walking upstairs to change her and she's like, what's this lump on her head? Like? I see a bruise, but I think she was talking about the side of red. I don't know where that came from. I think it's because she hit like the corner of the table, like in the morning, you know, as they're like trying to stand up, she happened to be at like the corner of a table and kind of, kind of hit it and she was crying. Neither of us really saw it, but I was like, it's probably from when she hit her head. And then later in the day I was like, hey, I just want you to know Scotty fell off the bottom step. And then, you know, that was more of like she felt the bottom step. She started to go climb, you know, Scottzilla, she was a menace. I couldn't get over there in time. But look at her right now.

[A]

She looks great.

[B]

Yeah. Now she's learning that I. Yeah. Foot. Yeah.

[A]

You know how you were just saying how beautiful our daughter is, how she looks? Incredible. Yeah, she did fall off the bottom snap earlier, but she looks great.

[B]

Yeah. So that's, that's, that's, that's a dead loss of mine, but go ahead. I'm. I'm on the edge of my seat to hear about an all time blunder in both arenas, dude.

[A]

Okay. So really, I don't really have like a dad loss, a trenches, a crack, a cold one. I do, but it's really all just one story.

[B]

This show, you throwing crack, a cold one. You could just say something positive. That's my crack of cold.

[A]

That's my crack.

[B]

We're telling stories. We're, we're talking about our experiences. So this is an all encompassing.

[A]

This is all encompassing.

[B]

Okay, we're back here again. I don't, I don't listen. I don't want to spread red ass. We're back here again with you.

[A]

We are, dude. Because I just had the conversation that I wasn't prioritizing my wife and that was my dad loss.

[B]

Yeah. You haven't given lessons and cried on this show about being better.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And you topped your lows. Topped it.

[A]

Doubled, tripled, quadrupled down.

[B]

All right, let's get into it.

[A]

On Saturday, the Bears were taken on the the ponies of smu.

[B]

Great game.

[A]

Hell of a ball game. Hell of a ball game that coincided the ending of that game with the pickup of my wife that I haven't seen in a week as well as my two month old daughter.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

They got back on Saturday, they landed at 2.

[B]

How was your week? Before you jump into that part, you had a good week. Solo dolo.

[A]

Good week. Solo dolo. But I miss the girls, no question.

[B]

After a couple days, you kind of get Bored.

[A]

Yes. All jokes aside, like, you just kind of miss them. And then I just like, I feel kind of guilty that I'm not there. And I'm seeing these photos that are coming in of Scarlett and she's straight up. Like, Jill's holding her against her chest and her head is fully up looking at the camera behind Jill and. And her eyes are real big. And I'm like, oh, my God. She's like so cognizant and knows what's going on. She's growing up and dad isn't there. And I'm like, worried that when she gets home, she's not even going to remember that.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

And oh, man, I was just in a mental blender all week. I missed the girls. But yeah, I mean, it was a good week. It was a lot of fun, like having pizza and wings and stuff around the house. And I will say, like, if there was was any dad win, like, the house looked awesome when Jill got back.

[B]

Okay, that's about to start.

[A]

Only scrap that we could take. I did like three loads of laundry, got all the dishes done. The living room looked immaculate.

[B]

There's moms listen. And you did seven loads of laundry.

[A]

I did. Sorry. I did seven loads of laundry. Folded her laundry. That's a big one.

[B]

That's a big one because I'll do.

[A]

Her laundry, but I don't fold her laundry. I put. Folded her laundry and put it on her side of the closet. That is quite literally the only dad win that I had.

[B]

Baylor and SMU are playing their plan.

[A]

It's going.

[B]

Families landing, family's landing.

[A]

It's going into overtime. I have YouTube TV as I'm walking into the airport. I'm answering calls from Jill. Her flight landed a little early, so I was a little upset with that because I tried to get there early so I could park the car and help her. She had a lot of checked bags, and so I'm answering her calls. Hey, I'm in baggage claim. Da, da da. And I'm still watching the game. She walks through the doors. I do a good job of turning off the game. I hug her. I hold Scarlett. I'm kissing Scarlett, I'm kissing Jill. I start tearing up because Scarlett looks twice the size of the last time I saw her. And I'm like, this is not okay. Get down to baggage claim them while we're waiting for the bags. I say, close game ranked smbu. I gotta watch this game. I gotta watch it. Honey, I'm so sorry. We have one hell of a comeback cooking Dave. Aranda might be the guy. I might be fully sold. Sawyer Robertson. Three 400 yard games in a row, babe. This is a big game, dude.

[B]

Guys ain't. We're not, bro. We ain't.

[A]

And she goes.

[B]

We go on, we go by. Favorite girls are home. Oh, yeah. Gotta watch the end this.

[A]

Have to watch the end of this game. Generational game.

[B]

I'm with you. Trust me. We're in a barn. Burner rail is cooking. Maybe you get this right.

[A]

Oscars here was the kicker. My group and Shout out. The boys. They know who they are. My group from senior year of College has a FaceTime going once we force overtime. I'm literally holding Scarlett in the airport on the face. I'm going nuts on the FaceTime. Jill's like, what are you doing? Like you're jerking her around. I'm like, babe, it's a big game. My bag's over there. Okay, hold her, hold her. Well, slow down, slow down. You're, like, moving too fast. You know, I'm kind of operating in my own little world of like, smu, Baylor. Smu, Baylor. That's the priority.

[B]

Sic', em, sicko.

[A]

Sic em, sicko. I go get her bags. We're rushing to the car, and I'm like this the entire time, just holding the phone. Get into the car. I did pick up her favorite meal from 51st Deli. I had her little chicken salad sandwich ready for her. That's about the only dad win for the rest of the weekend. Now we get into the bad stuff. She goes, hey, I just got home from a trip and was flying with your daughter. I was solo for the first time. I would love to talk to you about it, but instead you're driving like a maniac, eating your 51st deli, and trying to watch YouTube TV, and you're not talking to me.

[B]

Fair on all.

[A]

Fair on all fronts. I said, honey, this is a really big football game. As soon as this game's over, I'm happy to talk with you. She said, that's great, but I don't really feel like talking to you after this game because if we just have this conversation about making me a priority, I don't feel like a priority right now. So I don't even want to want to talk after the game. This is the same stuff we just talked about. So I swallowed that. I listened to the rest of the smu, Baylor game, and then it all comes to fruition at the house when I just start to double down of essentially telling Jill that she was acting like a third Grader by saying that she didn't want to talk.

[B]

It's not funny. Not funny.

[A]

Not funny.

[B]

Not funny, Joe.

[A]

That she didn't want to talk to me. I said. I said some really choice stuff. And it really went sideways for, like, no other reason than stuff that was going on with me that had nothing to do with Jill. But it literally turned into me being like, I'm a nice guy to everybody. I'm all sunshine and rainbows all the time. I get walked over by everybody. And you know what? I'm going to start doing what I want to fucking do.

[B]

This is what you say.

[A]

Oh, yeah. I go, you're always telling me to not put my feet up on the pillows on the sofa because you bought the sofa with your money and you don't want me treating the stuff like that. Tough shit. You married me. Deal with it. And she has tears coming down her eyes. I say, you don't like it when my shoes are by the front door? I do. They're going to be by the front door. And just went on this rampage. Like, I saw red and I let Jill have it. Jill's crying. I'm holding Scarlett, like, as I'm doing this. And then we just, like, didn't talk for maybe four to five hours. She goes to the bedroom. So I'm watching Scarlett all by myself. And I'm sitting there, I'm going, what. What a complete jackass I am that I just, one treated my wife like that, that I haven't seen in a week. And now I fully regret it because all I want to do is talk to her and hear how Scarlet was and hear how Jill's, like, early 30th birthday that she had with her family was. And as I'm feeding Scarlet, I look down on her neck. There's a tick on her neck, which I, like, start freaking out because I don't know what to do with ticks. But I know that tics are, like, a very serious deal. They're a bad deal. You can get Lyme's disease, all kinds of shit. So I go, wake up Jill. She's super flustered. She's already emotional from our conversation, so she's flustered. I'm. I have a tone. I'm telling her, you know, put her. Put her down on the bed. We. We need tweezers, Jill. We gotta get this thing off of her. Blah, blah. And we're looking up, like, next steps to do. I end up getting the tick off of Scarlett. I don't want to give, like, any health Recommendations on here, but there's. Call a pediatrician. Call, you know, whoever your doctor is, if you do find a tick on your kid. Thankfully, the tick that had been on Scarlett, it was less than 36 hours, which they say is when Lyme's disease and all that stuff can get contracted. But we get the tick off of her. Jill's frantic to. Then we think we're gonna, like, run Scarlett to the er and she's carrying Scarlett up the stairs. Jill eats it on the stairs. Thankfully, she covered Scarlet up so she didn't get hit. But Jill, like, eats it on the stairs. Then she's, like, double crying it. But, dude, it was terrible. It was awful. I don't know what else to say other than, like, it was the worst display of being there for my girl. Being, like, loving and caring, putting my ego first, just being pissed, reacting out of anger instead of saying, hey, I did a really poor job of, like, prioritizing you when you landed and I missed you like crazy. I just, like, unleashed on her. It sucked. And then we. We really didn't talk until, like, Sunday night when we kind of, like, figured everything out. And even that was, like, kind of a argument chess match that ended up being a really good conversation at the end of it. But Jill and I never argue like that. I feel like I just let stuff from, like, outside of my sphere with my wife like, affect me. And then I totally just lashed out on Jill, the easiest and sweetest target that I could possibly find. And I'm just pissed at myself. I'm pissed.

[B]

That's all right, buddy. It does. I mean, like, that story is. Is, I would say, normal for every married couple out there with kids. Like, everybody has low moments like that.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, I remember the time I was telling you about Charlie and I in New York.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And it should, like, you just say offhand stuff that you don't mean in the moment.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Why do you think you. Why do you think you lost it the way you did? Like, the stuff that you're, like, projecting when you think back on it and when you guys did reconnect, just too much.

[A]

Too much stuff, like, pent up over time? Because I do try and, like, stay way too positive, and I don't, like, flesh out or talk about things that are affecting me emotionally. And so I let it build to a pressure point. And then, you know, when Jill's like, I'm not going to talk to you, then I mouth off and say, oh, great, my. My wife's home. And it took five seconds for her to be pissed at me, Shocker. And then she's like, oh, Sherman's looking for a fight. Because he never talks to me like that. Like, what? Where did that come from? I was just hitting her with so many of those. Dude. I probably hit her with, like, I don't know, easily, like, 10 lines that I'm just like, what was I doing? I was doubling and tripling down. I was walking in circles in our living room, just monologuing. Went out into the front yard, ripped all the weeds out. Literally all the weeds pissed. It's not good. It's poor display, dude.

[B]

Bad day to be a raccoon.

[A]

Bad day to be a raccoon. And so I. I, like, not only tell that story, but I just apologize to pt6 as well, because it's like, you then hate that you have to go onto a podcast. Like, there's no way that I couldn't tell that story and, like, continue to be on this podcast, or else I'd be an absolute phony. If that makes sense.

[B]

Yeah, no, it does, because I'm sitting there. Yeah. It's like when Charles hit me with the. You got this for the dad's pot, and you can't take a couple minutes to put up a shelf that got the boy.

[A]

Yes, dude. I'm sitting there that night, and I'm just like, I know Jill's gonna be watching this episode closer than any other episode. Wonder. Wonder what he says. Because if I come on here and go, oh, PT Sakes goon berets, like, she's gonna be like, okay, buddy, that's not what happened, but just a huge bummer, dude. Huge bummer.

[B]

Okay, so how did it come back around?

[A]

We had a really good conversation last night of basically getting our.

[B]

How did the conversation start?

[A]

Conversation started with me helping her around, like, picking things up in the living room, and her saying, we never really got to finish, like, what we were talking about on Saturday night. What's going on? I said, I just had a phone conversation that really pissed me off, and that's, like, totally separate of this podcast. Has nothing to do with, like, for the dads bus in anything. It's just, like, personal stuff with me.

[B]

You had just had a conversation that pissed you off when she's asking you what's going on? When she's asking, like, I don't want to talk about it.

[A]

I'm just saying I'm not gonna, like, talk about that.

[B]

Right, right, right. But I'm saying, when you're talking to your wife, are you saying that in a way, like, you're not wanting to talk about because you just had a bad phone call.

[A]

No, I said, here. Here's the deal. I just came off of this bad phone call that I think helps highlight what I think happened on Saturday. I have a lot of stuff, a lot of pressures outside of our relationship with work, family, all this stuff that I'm letting it build too much, and I'm not expressing those stressors, those frustrations, those pain points that I have, I'm letting them build up, and I took it out all on you, and I feel terrible that I did that. I have some stuff that, like, I honestly need to talk about with you, that I need to do a better job of communicating with you because Jill made the great point of, like, Sherman, if you had just told me at the airport that that football game was against a ranked opponent and it meant the world to you to watch it. I don't. Like, you can watch your football game, but you just need to communicate that. And I was trying to tell you that in the car, and then you just took it to 12. And then all of a sudden we're talking about how people don't respect you, and you feel like you get walked all over by everybody in your life. And it's like, what does that have to do about the SMU Baylor game? Like, where did that come from? That's crazy. And so getting that out and being able to, like, talk through that stuff, talk about the phone call, that really frustrated me, talk about stuff in life that's really frustrating me, that I'm not doing a good job of prioritizing myself and prioritizing Jill. Then Jill being allowed. Creating a space where Jill then feels allowed to talk about her emotions. She feels safe in this environment because Sherman's not blowing up on her. And she's able to say, hey, these are things that I'm going through postpartum. I just had a kid. I'm, you know, I feel like a stranger in my own body. These are things that I'm dealing with, conversations that, like, we've touched on surface level, but we've never really gone deeper in it. And really, us just kind of saying, like, you and I are a team, and it never needs to be us going against each other. If anything, it needs to be conversations of, how can I rally around you and help you in this situation? You're feeling this type of way, how can I come in, feel that with you, or go through that with you and help you out of that? Instead of, there's a great, like, therapist word or, like, what's it called when something's going on, you're projecting onto somebody. Like 100 was projecting onto Jill, and we hugged and kissed, and, like, everything was really good from that conversation. And this morning, I'm just getting pictures of Scarlet and Jill put Scarlett in an outfit that I bought for. I'm going to tear up. But you're just like, fuck. Like, what was I doing? Like, that's my teammate. And I came at her like that. That's crazy. And just bummed me out. So, yeah, that was my dead loss. Yeah.

[B]

I appreciate you sharing all that. I feel like we're actually in a real conversation right now, which I think is a good thing. I think what you're sharing, I think a lot of people go through and feel, yeah, man. When you reflect on thinking, like, what you could have done better, which you will do better moving forward, a lot of it is communication.

[A]

Like, all of it.

[B]

All of it is communication.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because again, if she doesn't know you're going through that stuff, you're. You're sharing that. I'm thinking, damn, I wish I would have known you were going through some of this stuff because you are, like, happy. Go lucky. Like, you're Sherm. You're fat Stafford.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

You're bubbly.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

But, yeah, it's a tough one, bro.

[A]

It's a tough one.

[B]

But as long as you learn from it and you know, like, some people don't ever learn it or see it or see that they're the problem or dig down enough or look at themselves in the mirror long enough to see, like, what is actually bothering me. So I think it's important. It's very good that you do see that stuff, and you eventually got there.

[A]

Can I tell you honestly what's going through my head right now?

[B]

Go ahead.

[A]

I've never wanted to buy Jill a new couch more in my entire life.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's the only thing that's going. That is literally going through my head is seeing my sweet wife with tears in her eyes as I say I'm going to put my feet up on the couch pillows as much as I want. If you have a problem with that, tough. You married me. I'm going to be doing it. And she's crying because that's not fair. And I just walked out of the room. I was like, bro, I've never wanted to buy a new couch so much in my entire life.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What was I doing, Jeff? I had a great metaphor. I kind of, like, teased Some of this stuff with Chef before the pod, he was like, oh, man, Yalls football program ain't built on that, you know? And that's a ball talk.

[B]

That's semen Team six right there.

[A]

That's just a rough week, man. We're, you know, but we're. We're one and. Oh, and we're moving on to the next week.

[B]

That's Owen 1.

[A]

That's Owen 1. Or. Or as he said, it was a rat poison win.

[B]

Yeah, it's a win.

[A]

You squeak out no T against a bat, just a bad opponent, and it's a win. But you get in that locker room, it doesn't feel like a win at all. Even though things came out positive. And I'm glad that they did. And thank you for sharing because I think. I think everyone deals with that.

[B]

Everybody deals with that, bro. It's. It's not. That's not. It's not an anomaly. It is like, it's. It's good to see you gut check yourself like that because you're a thousand percent right. The way you're seeing it coming off the handle like that is like, yeah. Oh, snap. As it was getting more serious, I'm like, oh. Like, this is.

[A]

Oh, I know. I was looking at your face. I'm like, am I over sharing on the spot?

[B]

No, I don't think you are. Okay, good. Like, I see it as like, oh, a real conversation. Like that is a very nitty, gritty, detailed thing that you're sharing with everybody. That 1000% everybody goes through. And I think you being vulnerable enough to share those details and talk about how low you felt and the things you actually said, I think it. It's very relatable to every human being. It's not like it's just dads or men that go like, this is. Everybody has low moments like that, especially when they're not checking in with themselves a lot.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

My first thought, like, as you're saying you're coming to the end of some of the stuff, I'm thinking, so how did it end? Or I'm all I'm going to say, like, how are you feeling now? Like, do you feel solid right now? Do you feel better right now? Is this stuff off the field? Like, you know, A, I'm wondering how are you doing with that stuff? But B, if you are going through shit, and this is for both, this is for everybody. If you got a partner. We do. It's like, we talk about the standard of PT6 and us wanting to be better. It's like, you got to share that stuff with your partner because they have no. They have no ability to help or even know what's going on and vice versa. Up.

[A]

Yeah. And I. I think this is not an excuse, but I. I think something that Jill and I came to the conclusion of because we have had a lot of conversations about how you and Charo operate, how it's very similar to how Jill and I operate, where we are trying to have those discussions and deeper stuff of, you know, this is what's going on with me. But when you do have a newborn, I guess this could be the advice that comes from it. The newborn just kind of takes over, like, every second of every day.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And so those things just get pushed because I don't have time to think about that. I don't have time to process that or communicate that with Jill because Scarlett's crying again. We gotta do this diaper change, and we gotta. And so you're like.

[B]

And mom's going through a lot, too. Postpartum's a very real thing. Postpartum can last, like, up to. I think my wife was telling me, up to a year, maybe two years.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The lingering effect of postpartum. So they're going through stuff. So you like men. Like, we want to stay to. We want to stay put together. We want to stay strong. We want to be a leader. We don't want to put our. You know, when something. It's like, we got to take care of the kid. I don't want to. I don't want to feel like I'm being a burden to my wife. Like, when I know she's going through stuff. And this stuff seems kind of like, I can handle it on my own. Until you can't. Then it comes out in such a. An offhand way, and then you're wondering how you got there. And it all comes back to this communication and checking in with yourself. And not only checking in with yourself, but making sure you have those. Those times with your partner. It. Dude, it's. It's. It's a very hard balance. Like, this is where it's like, you got to give yourself some grace. I am happy that you guys had a conversation, because that's all it really takes. Like, I'm sitting there yesterday because Charles was going for those, you know, doing the bar three, and then I gotta go stream at nighttime. Yeah. I'm, like, late getting to the stream because I'm just like, I don't want to leave her in the trenches doing both kiddos. Bedtime. You know, in Michigan, when we were streaming the Michigan and Nebraska games. And then the next day, she's working in the morning. And when she was working in the morning, I had the. The kids were set up. Rue was doing something. But I'm, like, literally making a Google Doc spreadsheet of every hour of every day and color coding everything to see. See where my balance of work and family time. Because it feels like if you're somebody who is, like a working parent, which is the majority of people, it's. You feel like you're just being dad or mom and then working or, you know, you were saying it last week. Like, you. At times you feel like roommates. You're not having intentional time. Like, yesterday last week, I. I got childcare set up and texted the sitter and was like, hey, can you come and watch the kids from 11 to 3? And Charl and I just like, off, get out of the house. I want to take her to lunch, you know, watch, you know, some NFL games, like, Connect. We went down on 12 south to this Lala Coffee, which, by the way, good coffee, but the longest lines fucking imaginable. Imagine I'm talking, like, Instagram. This was like a filtered spot. Like, 12 south, by the way, is booming.

[A]

Booming.

[B]

But you just have time and spend time together because it's hard to find those pockets of date night or let's go out to lunch or let's go get coffee or spend time with each other and kind of have some conversations to where when we got done with those few hours together, she gets home and talking like, you know, I kind of miss, like, just taking Rue to the grocery store, and it's just me and Rue, and we get something to cook later. I want to take her to this garden or this spot over in Nashville where you pick flowers and everything else. But if, in my opinion, if we don't have that, Those intentional hours together when we pulled in the driveway, we're almost both ready to, hey, you take a room. Go this. Like, I'll watch Scotty. Like, you're set up to kind of part ways, so to speak, because we had, like, those intimate hours together to connect. And a lot of times, that's, like, all you need. Yeah. So prioritizing those times with your wife to where you can talk about the things that's been on your mind or bothering you and just reconnect. And in this busy life that we all have a lot of, like, I just. Again, just using yesterday's example, I was so happy we did that, just because when we got home. It's not, hey, you're home. We're all in the house. We're all a family together. We're all doing everything together. I'm trying to watch ball at times. I'm. While watching the kids. She's trying to do her thing while watching the kids. So where. I got them a little bit more. And you're both still. There's something missing. And to me, it's like, all that's missing is like the Sims character, like, when they have to go to the bathroom or when something happens and they just start acting out of character because the meter's low.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

All the. A lot of it is just. We just need some mom and dad time to where we are hanging out, where we get in the car, we get out of the car. We don't got to worry about the kid in the car, the kids in the car seat. I'll carry this. Do we have the backpack? Do we have the snack? Do we have everything we need to. To be optimal parents? Are we going to the park today? What do we want to do with the kids? It's like, no. We pull up, we park, we get out of the car. It's us holding hands, going to this Mexican bar to watch some games, have some brunch, go down to 12 south. We're walking together. She's like, I really want to go to Buck Mason. And I'm like, sweetheart, we're kind of. We only got about 30 minutes left. We park kind of far away. How about this? I'll go get the car. You go to Buck Mason, do your thing. I'll just pull around. I'll do. Take as much time as you can. You go shop, do your thing. But it's just me and her pro move doing it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it was. She got in the car. I said, by the way, you're welcome. Because the sun started, you know, it was a night. It was. It's been great weather.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

But it's where the sun is shining. And we were parked up a hill onto ourselves, like, on the complete opposite end of Tulsa. So my hamstrings are burning. I'm sweating a little bit as I'm driving together. Because we went all the way to Buck Mason and then a mile to walk to the car. We wouldn't have made in time. We would have to be there for just. For just a couple breasts. But she got in. I was like, hey, you're welcome, by the way.

[A]

And you probably had a couple Willy Won shelf. What you building?

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Dude, PT6 is out there for sure. Got a couple. Hey, Go Big Red. Akron out of the stadium.

[A]

I would have made you proud. When I was flying out to DFW last week, I forgot to say this on the pod. So much GBR in the airport and I yelled at every single one of them.

[B]

Yeah, let's go. That does juice me.

[A]

I told I would just tell him, hey, gbr. And every single time. Go, Big Red. Hey, gbr. Yeah, right back.

[B]

Yeah. But again, all to say that that connection time with your wife to where it's. It's husband and wife.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Mom and dad. The friends who fell in love dating each other. To me, that's the biggest stressor, especially during football season with both of us being working people.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Her running her stuff. She feels thin again. You just get caught up. I feel like I work. I feel like I'm Dad. I feel like I work. I feel like I'm Mom. A lot of times it's just somebody, for the love of God, take the kids. Like, just me and my wife go.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And that's all it takes. Because then you feel like the battery's charged when you get home, you're ready to accomplish. I feel like the world, bro.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because you can't have that. You can't have a week away. If this was me and you one on one, I'll just say it on the pod. But this is me. And you were just one on one because I've. This has been a learning curve for me. Especially when you're younger and things are new. You have your first kid, you're married for the first time. You're picking up a lot more kind of like partnership responsibilities that dudes a lot of the time are dumb as and we're not aware of until. You gotta, like, learn the hard way a little bit.

[A]

Yes. Learn from mistakes is like my.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Bread and butter.

[B]

But being so locked in on that. I know it was a big game, but you got it. Yeah. It's like having the Rolodex of. Right. When you see them, you're embracing the girls and you just tell her out of the gate. If that's the important thing. Sweetheart. God, you look. You look so. You look so damn pretty. Scarlet, she's gotten huge. You know, I'm a sicko for the sick. Em. Bears. This game we've come back from my. What was it? 14 point deficit.

[A]

Yeah, 17.

[B]

17 point deficit. All I've. I've been. It pains me that I've had to sit behind the phone, hear you you know, some problems that you might have with Scarlett, and you feel, as a dad, you're sitting there eating wings and pizza, kind of like, damn, I feel shitty because life's nice for me right now. But you're carrying the. The dad guilt of, like, I kind of need to. I feel like I need to be in it with her. So there's this weird. There's this weird conversation going on in your head, but you almost. You're out front with it. You're anchoring it. God, you look so amazing. Scarlett, she's growing. I. I truly. All I've wanted to do last four days because three. I kind of had a little fun, I won't lie. But for the last four days, I want nothing to know what's went on in your entire life. The minute this game ends, I'm all ears. And if you tell me, look, it's like when we had the conversation a couple weeks ago. If you tell me to shut my fat ass up, it's gone. It's gone. I'll put this game down, but I just want to put that out there. I would love to finish this game. And you. You got nothing but my time after that. And I saw. Again, let me triple down on this part. If you tell me. Sherm, shut up. I'm so excited to see you. And I got to tell you about this weekend. The phone's gone. I don't care. I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out on SportsCenter later. That would have been like, if I'm in your coaching. No, no, no, don't do that. Don't do that. Stop. No, no, stop doing that. Stop doing that. Stop doing that. Fold down. No, no, no. The duna's on the belt.

[A]

The. The luggage is here.

[B]

Go get the luggage. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Oh, yeah, dude. And I will say this for, like, anybody listening to the podcast, because I didn't, like, fully finish the tick story. We, like, we called our pediatrician, we called Vanderbilt, we got a diagnosis, and we followed the diagnosis. We have antibiotics for Scarlet, all that stuff. I didn't just want to leave that open ended of, like, yo, Sherm's kid got. Got bit by a tick, and you didn't do anything about it?

[B]

Like, yeah, you weren't the only one. Rue had a tick on her. Really? Had a little outing at Tailgate Brewery. The parents kind of had, like. They called it the Tailgate parents had, like, a little tailgate where everybody kind of hangs out.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

For ro. School. And so we were out there. They're playing out in the woods and stuff. We were at a tick, but it was like. It was like drowning in the water. So it was like. It wasn't on or very tight.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It was, like, in her. It was like in the bathtub.

[A]

Yeah, that's exactly what happened with Scarlett. It was very light. Got the tweezers and just you pull up towards the head, and it makes right.

[B]

Because it's like the head can be dug in there to where they're latched on. You're, like, pulling it off, and thank God. It was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

And it was a red tick, too. It was a deer tick. So. Which is better? That's better.

[B]

Okay. I have no clue.

[A]

No, I didn't either until I talked to the nurse.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

We are not professionals.

[B]

No, we. We are not professionals.

[A]

Thank you for coaching me.

[B]

Buddy is more just like you're telling that story, and I'm thinking to myself, how do I just sit in this thing with Sherman more? So just check how it all ended up and how you're doing currently.

[A]

Yeah, I'm doing well currently. To answer that. You asked that earlier. I'm doing well. It's something that, like, very much I need to process with Jill Very much I just need to be able to process with myself. And I do see a therapist week, bi weekly. So does bi weekly mean every two weeks, bi weekly?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Or is that twice a week?

[B]

If it's bi weekly, I feel like that's twice a week. Every other bi monthly, maybe. Is that what you're looking.

[A]

Bi weekly?

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Could be both. Leave it in the. Could be both and leave us leave it in the comments.

[B]

What is that right there is how, you know, we're not experts. I mount my wife bi weekly. Because you're saying that I'm thinking in my head. Am I? Because there's. There's also, like, not. I don't hate the friends. But you hate when you're, like, you're unloading some of your personal stuff going on. And I've never been a fan of people that you should do this. You should do that. They're kind of. Instead of, like, listening and kind of sitting in it with you a little bit and more, like, waiting for. Do you want. Are you seeking any type of advice right now? Like, people who give, like, unsolicited advice, like, when you're saying something, oh, you shouldn't do that. You got to do this. It's kind of like, buddy, you're not listening to me. I'm not needing you to tell me what to do right now.

[A]

Yeah. And you bring up a great point, something that I try to keep in the back of my head because I had a boss that also brought this point up. But I always lead with a question.

[B]

There you go. Yeah. Because you kind of stopped there at the. The bottom part.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Of the story. And I'm sitting here in my head, is, is he wanting something. Me back now? I kind of just want to know, how did it end up? How are you doing now?

[A]

That was good. You did a good job of being like, it's always that. Is that where we are? Are you currently in doghouse on pod right now?

[B]

Yeah. Yes.

[A]

That's a first. Do you need to call Jill on the sod?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Lord. But yeah, thanks for talking that one out.

[B]

I love you, bro.

[A]

I love you.

[B]

It's like, I shot you the message last night. I miss you. I can't wait to do for the dads.

[A]

Yeah. And I shot it back. I said, miss you.

[B]

B.B. too much, baby. Yeah. Can we do this at. Can we shoot the pot at 2pm? I was like, I really need to get it done at 12. It was at 12:15 because I had a 2 o' clock that, you know, I had to punt the 2 o'. Clock.

[A]

I didn't. I didn't see that I.100 was on that phone call. Probably when you texted me.

[B]

You had a lot going on.

[A]

A lot going on. But.

[B]

Because when you hit me with the. Hey, are you good to record it too? Like, when we were at the shop the next day, I. I said, I texted you back. Did you not look at the phone?

[A]

Are you having a seizure? What's going on?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I didn't want to in that moment be like, yeah, I'm going through a lot. Because, like, yeah, I could check my text. I need to do a better job at that.

[B]

Yeah. Thank you for sharing too, bro.

[A]

Yeah, for sure.

[B]

Good for Papa Team 6. Listen, we're not all. Nobody out there is perfect.

[A]

I thank you for listening. Thank you for listening and thank you for being there and thank you for the listeners. Have kind of created a space to where I do feel challenged to be like, I gotta. I gotta share that on the pod.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's like, I'm just a fake phony. That's like, hey, like. And subscribe my podcast. We have fun here.

[B]

Yeah. You know, fortunately, Jill didn't pull that one out on you.

[A]

Oh, what do you mean?

[B]

What Charlie did with the Willy One shelf, like, oh, you got this pod on embracing the trenches and the phony meter was at an all time high.

[A]

Can I.

[B]

If I would have had a moment, if I'm which those moments, I'm not going to say I'll never have those moments or have never had those moments. If she would have hit me with that mid crash out, I don't know.

[A]

And for all the probably being a.

[B]

Hotel or something, for sure.

[A]

For all the Milk Team Sixers listening, I do want to take a moment to look at the camera and say, Jilly Bean, I love you and I'm very sorry and no one in the entire world is deserving that, especially you. Like that. That just stinks. I did that.

[B]

Yeah, Stinks. I also want to say to Milk Team Sixers out there and wives tuning in, if you're watching with Your Papa Team 6 member, I do want to equip you by throwing this brand in their face. If they're having some off moments, it will piss for the pop PT6ers out there. It will piss you off. But no, it's coming from a place of accountability.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Would you go on PT6 and be acting like that? Tell that story. Yeah, that's true.

[B]

Shout out the community.

[A]

Shout out the community.

[B]

Creating a space safe enough for you to share.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because the boys are going to rally around you.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The moms. It might even help the moms tell a story maybe.

[A]

And hopefully some. Some people in the comments are like, that's. Hey, that's not the fats after die now for sure. No way, Jose.

[B]

That's not the standard.

[A]

Everybody knows.

[B]

Everybody knows it's not the standard.

[A]

Check yourself. Sure, I'm glad you're checking yourself, but check yourself again.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I love that.

[B]

Learn from it.

[A]

Learn from it. PT6ers. Hello and welcome to another ad here on the show for the dads. Yes, it is Fat Stafford doing the ads this week in Willie One Shelf's desk. We're talking True Classic. And before we talk true classic, we're talking true classic. When there is a date night with my wife Jilly being an I and she will vouch this is a true story. She usually likes me in a T shirt that doesn't have any branding on it. Something that looks casual but nice. Something that I feel comfortable in. And every single time we're going out for a date night, she says, hey, Sherman, throw on one of those shirts that you get at busin, the ones that fit you really nice. I always have to remind her those are my true classic shirts. I'll go throw on a True Classic. My wife's a big fan of them. I feel like everybody in the office is a big fan of the True classics. When we see each other wearing them, we're going, chef, are you hitting the bench? What's going on? You look massive. He's like, no, it's just my True Classic shirt. Even Derek back there, if you want to look even spiffier on date night and throw on a pillow. Derek's rocking one of the polos right now. Derek, give him a little Will Compton.

[B]

Oof.

[A]

Too good. Too good. And you can look that good too. And here's the cool part. True Classic just launched a boys line for the boy dads out there you can match. And honestly, it's way better than those awkward family photo outfits or even cheesy pajamas you can match with your son. You get to show up together, feel comfortable, and actually look good doing it. The crazy thing is True Classic has already sold over 2 or 25 million shirts to more than 5 million customers. With over 200,000 5 star reviews. Online shoppers know 255, 250K. 5 star reviews is a lot of 5 star reviews. So I'm definitely not the only dad who has figured this out. I'm just lucky enough to be one of the dads that figured it out. You can find them at Amazon, Target Select Costco, and Sam's Club locations, or you can head to trueclassic.com forward/for the dads. That's true classic.com forward slash for the dads. Trust me. Grab one and you will thank me later. You will legitimately thank me later. These are great fitting shirts. I wear them all the time. We're even getting into colder weather. I'm rocking a True Classic hoodie right now. Go check it out, guys. Back to the episode.

[B]

That's the biggest thing. Learn from it. Know that, you know, it's. It's bound to happen again. Hope hopefully you catch yourself in those moments. Yeah, but this is only a waste.

[A]

Of time if you don't learn from it 100%.

[B]

I don't know, dude. I brought up the tailgate and the tick thing.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

There was an older boy who bullied.

[A]

Hold on.

[B]

And I saw.

[A]

Hold On.

[B]

Yeah. Rue was part of the crew that he bullied. And I'll. You know, the boy's lucky that I didn't see the part on Roo. I saw the part where he took the glasses off of, like, Rue's best friend. He was, like, going around and kind of, like, grabbing and Shaking. There's like three of them shakes. Each one of them runs around. I just hear, hey, stop. And I kind of like. I kind of like, look down the hill. He runs over. Did I say the. The girl's name?

[A]

No, you did not.

[B]

Okay, if I did, make sure to bleep that out.

[A]

Yeah, you 100 didn't.

[B]

And then goes back to the girl. Rouge friend. And I. I once I hear, hey, stop. I kind of look back, and the kids. The boy runs by again and, like, grabs her glasses and she's like, stop. And Rue's just kind of, like, standing there all shy. Kid ends up say, stop. And I was like, hey. And the kid ends up, like, running up the hill. I think he still has a glass. I'm like, hey, buddy. He didn't have the glass. He keeps running. The kids start crying a little bit. So I go over to them. You know, the parents were all over. We're like, calming them down and everything else. What happened? Blah, blah, blah. And, dude, I'm just boiling as, like, did that shit just happen? I'm thinking, this is why we're going to do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. There's nothing that breaks your heart more than seeing bullying happen with the little kids.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Because, you know, they're just kids.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And this kid was old enough to know what he was doing. And at the. The kid. The boy at his age was old enough to know what he was doing.

[A]

Are we talking like seven or eight?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

I think so. Yeah. He was a little. He was taller. Yeah, he was older and rooster. Like the other two kids, they're crying. Rue's not crying yet. And I'm walking over, and I look at Rue and I'm just like. I just kind of, like, shake my head no. Like, don't, you know, hey, it's okay. You don't need to start crying because the others are crying. I kind of, like, shake my head no, and are you okay? And as I do that, she starts, like, you know, wincing up and she starts crying. And so I pick her up and everything. I didn't. At that moment, I didn't know that he had shaken or bullied Rue. So I was kind of pissed for the other kid, the one that I saw the glasses come off of. And I'm quiet, I'm low key, trying to figure out who the kid, like, where the kid is. He, like, runs up. He's, like, playing somewhere else or, like, see who the parents might be.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Not to go say nothing. There's Just a. There's a multitude of conversations going on in my head.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, what would I have done had that been rude? That I saw him do that, too? Because, you know, not. Not that I would have done anything. But you're also thinking, like, I don't know what I would do.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because I started to, like, go towards the kid as he's running away when I was like, hey, buddy. Because I thought he still had the glasses. Why don't you give her glasses back to her? Or like, I. Again, I don't know. There's too many things that go on in my head. Yeah. That fires you up as a parent in the moment. We end up believing because there's like, a meltdown and everything else. Oh, we've been here a while. Like, let's get the kids home. Scotty. She's. She's in her. We can't, like, let her out because she's in, like, her. She's in her stroller, and there's, like, gravel and everything else that we're kind of on. We go home and we get a text that it happened again with the kid, and then something kind of goes down with the kid, and the parent got awkward and weird and they kind of leave. But maybe the kids going. Maybe the kids projecting. Who. Who knows? Who knows? But anyway, a bully. I got. I witnessed a bully moment I was kind of part of, and I did not know. It kind of had me not. Not worked up, but it had me thinking about it, like, the rest of the evening.

[A]

Those are truly, like, the two things that I think, like, guys almost fantasize about is either, like, a home intruder and what they would do or if somebody was bullying their kid.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I love to see somebody come. Coming to my house.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. I love. Because if kids mean to you, that doesn't give you permission to be mean back to him. And to where my line of thinking is like, I'll go with that for now, but everything's a little circumstantial. I'm like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Yeah.

[A]

Once we're in the A gap.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We don't know what's going to happen.

[B]

Right. Like, yeah. If the kids mean to you, it doesn't give you the right to be mean back. But we got to figure out a way to where you're not going to allow somebody to be mean to you. Yeah. And I don't know what that is. Again, I'm very new. I'm learning at this stuff. It's like. Like, it's one of those things where I'm very slow to speak because I don't have my thoughts in order and how I feel about it or what should actually be done or how I should be teaching through those things. Because I didn't really tell Rue a whole lot. Just making sure she's like, okay and everything else. But I'm sitting there, like, trying to figure out, yeah, like, what if this does happen? What if I'm not there? What if this, what if that? How do I need to be coaching or teaching this? Or give her confidence to, you know, be a certain way? But, yeah. Witnessed the first bully.

[A]

Oh, that gets me riled up. That gets me riled up.

[B]

And fantasies of just sideline tackle drill on this kid.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

Oh, just a great angle. Gronk, and he's running across the border of the. The woods they were playing in. Just, boom, we're into the woods.

[A]

Truly envisioned you chasing down Gronk to the sideline. Beating them to the sideline.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm, like, not even know what to say. I'm over here, like, pinching my. My fingers and stuff and moving my hands around because I'm like, I know this is murky waters to be. To be speaking on, but who is the father?

[A]

He ain't listening to my podcast, I can promise you that.

[B]

Oh, this your boy that just mocked on the sideline.

[A]

Whenever you did that.

[B]

Come say something. I become the bully. Just an awful example in front of the kids. I'm gonna have a little dude eating through a tube. Oh, good deal. Daddy wants to come say something. Meet me in the ring. Circle around, children. Turn on the headlights. Pull the cars up. This is how you want to die, old man. Oh, my God.

[A]

The dad just has no idea of, like, what had happened. It was just one of those, like, Patagonia vests with, like, a coffee. Just chill, dude.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

What's going. As soon as he finds out his.

[B]

Son was being a little.

[A]

He's like, the poor kid. You almost. You're almost like, hey, you know, praying to God the kid's gonna be alive. I don't know if you guys ever seen that. Like, you had a buddy who rightfully so the parents mad, and they're going home.

[B]

And you're like, yeah, like, a lot of times, too. It's like, again, being a young, like, with the kid, their kids. And if I'm the parent where rooster bully, I would want to be told because I would be pissed at Rue.

[A]

Will is definitely one of the dads that, like, if I was you Know, like a friend of Ruse, and I'm, like, hanging out with them and stuff. Like, I would be on extra good behavior because Will is the dad that's there. Like, I. Playing little League or like, being around other dads at that age. There are certain dads that you're like, oh, just scared of that. Just give off that vibe of, like, do not set off Mr. Blah Blah. Not because they were a psycho.

[B]

I'm gonna be a fun.

[A]

You are.

[B]

But there will be respect.

[A]

There will be, dude. God. I'm just telling you, like, guys are gonna. When they start coming to the age and like, just knowing you and knowing your personality type, knowing maybe you played in the NFL for a little bit, they're gonna be like, don't. Don't mess around with Willie C. Yeah, that's a good thing.

[B]

I feel like that's the. That's my mom. And me too. My mom, she didn't play no shit, dude. She didn't play no shit. If we were acting up in school, we were known as, like, hyper kids. Can't have Will over. He's a little too hyper. But my mom did not mess around. She wanted. She wanted real feedback for how her boys are being. Because if we were messing around in class, if we weren't up, you know, progress reports, if we weren't dialed in like, she wanted to know not to blame it on anybody else other than that than the Tanner ass at home and not necessarily come from my mom. That'd be the old man. But it'd be a verbal lashing. Oh, yeah. Because she didn't mess around.

[A]

That's good. That's a good thing.

[B]

Yeah, that's a good thing. Because part of me sitting there and I'm like, it's not the kid's fault. It's not the parents fault. Maybe it could be the parents fault because the kids like, whatever he's doing. But I'm sure the parents would be upset to be like their kid is. It was doing X, Y, and Z. So don't get mad at the parents. Like, again, there's so many things going on in your head. That was going on in my head.

[A]

Yeah. You can only control what you can control. I feel like you handled that situation very nicely.

[B]

I mean, we just left. Yeah, it was more of just talking with Charo. Like, oh, you want her to be nice to people or be mean to her? I'd handle a little bit differently, sweetheart. You know, we're kind of just like, laughing and joking back and forth. Like, sweetheart, that's Why? I want to get her into wrestling. That's why I want to get her in Brazilian jiu jitsu. Because see a friend get picked on. We need her to handle that.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. And she will. She will be.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Nobody's bullying Scotzilla. I can go ahead. Scotzilla might be bullies Godzilla.

[B]

You're being careful. She's a menace, bro. A dead loss that I had is. I have on here, dad. Loss can't stop Scottzilla from getting to the water bowl.

[A]

She's doing it again.

[B]

She. She. Yeah. Yes.

[A]

What are you gonna do?

[B]

What?

[A]

She's able to walk. I mean, it's gonna be a problem.

[B]

Yeah. She'll start getting some more wherewithal of, like, not getting in the water bowl.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But I was taking a Tuesday the other day, and I'm doing it with the door open because just me and the kiddos.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I hear that water bowl go sideways in the pantry, and I'm like, God damn, like, wiping fast. Scotty, she's just in there, and she knows it, too. Like, part of me is like, she knows what she's doing because once she's halfway there, and I'm like, scotty, don't you do it. She, like, looks back at me with, like, a little. With, like, a little smirk, and then, oh, don't you do it. And she starts kind of going. And then I start, like, running to the pantry. She hits that.

[A]

She goes.

[B]

She hits that speed that's on the video to get there. She hits that second gear. She's 88 out the gate. If I don't make that play.

[A]

Starts digging that left toe.

[B]

It's the left toe, and it's. You know when you're like, your house settles, you got to kind of, like, lift the door up for it to, like, latch or whatever. It's one of those to where you shut the door. But she'll go and press on the door to where it'll open back up. So I got to make sure. Sure it's, like, up and latched if that. She's. She's in there, bro.

[A]

Scottzilla is a menace.

[B]

She's a menace.

[A]

I cannot wait.

[B]

She can't be contained, bro.

[A]

I want to hang out with Scottzilla so bad.

[B]

Yeah. She's a beast.

[A]

I want to see the lore and the legend in person.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. She wants me on the ground. She needs space. She needs. She's trying to climb on everything. She's just a happy little baby bro. Very few things. She's like, unbothered I can't wait to.

[A]

See her personality develop because I love how Rue when, like, you were in that little pillow fort that you built with there and you're. Oh, the, the, you know, monsters are outside of it. Blah, blah, we gotta hide. Scottzilla's gonna be like, wait, can we not go out there and go kill him? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like what?

[B]

Scotty's. Scotty is the type. She's the type that when Rue is upset or crying, Scotty laughs. Or she'll start, like, just randomly clapping.

[A]

She's gonna be a menace. In a good way.

[B]

Yeah, in a great way. I got a highlight tape loading. I don't think it's gonna be anytime soon just yet. I need to capture a few more scenes.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

But if her just eating. Oh, she's being a menace on the.

[A]

Table like her dad.

[B]

Oh, she eats like her dad. Anything you put in front of her, gone. Yeah, she's quick. She's good, man. She's a stud.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

But she's gonna be a lot of fun. But she's. She's very unbothered. And it's awesome. She's a. She's a stud.

[A]

I love it. And since we're coming up on an hour, I thought that I would kick it to coming up.

[B]

We got to keep it under.

[A]

I know. That's what I'm saying. We're kind of coming up to an hour, so I was going to move it to what are the odds?

[B]

Hit the. What are the odds. And we can hit our couple dad hacks. We can get it into calls, get in the call ins, and probably be out under an hour lesson. A lot of time for to keep that under an hour.

[A]

Yeah, I think we can do that. Perfect. We're at 25 minutes. 25.

[B]

Hey, this has been fun today. I want to say again, thank you for sharing all that stuff earlier.

[A]

Yeah, dude. Well, and this has been fun today because, like, it. It feels good to be able to have a place where I could talk about that coincides with like a podcast that I'm on. I'm pretty fortunate and lucky to be able to do that. So thank you, guys.

[B]

Hey, before you get into the one of the odds, I want to shout out Camden Stevens, who left a comment on Instagram. Will Sherm Chef Derek. What a pod. Boys. I myself am a 20 year old guy from the great state of Iowa. 20 years. This is a Goon beret. We're talking about the Hawkeyes Will Iowa State fan and am a member of the Goon Berets. There we are. Just recently got engaged to my fiance. So, no, not Quite Papa Team 6 yet. But I got to tell you guys, I love this pod. My biggest dream is to be a father. And listening to your pod is so encouraging. You guys give me the stepping stones and puzzle pieces to be a great father just like yourselves. It's so inspiring to hear how you guys carry yourselves. It's not only fathers, but husbands as well. Kendall Stevens might be deleting the comment after the dad loss from Uncle Sherm. I appreciate this podcast more than you guys know. The complete shot of Shot in the Dark. This D, this DM gets read. And that's okay. Just want you to know my support to you guys. Keep it up. Good. I'll tell you this, Camden. Somebody who's taken puzzles. What'd you say? Stepping stones and puzzle pieces. To be a great father, just like yourselves. You thinking that way at 20 years old? I will say you are ahead of the curve.

[A]

Way ahead of the curve.

[B]

And if anything else, stepping stones, puzzle pieces. Learn from us.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Learn from our losses.

[A]

Yes. Please, please. And before I now jump into what are the odds? You reminded me of a comment that I wanted to make sure I read. This comes from Mutza8, shout out Aaron. She was our caller last week that called in about being close with her dad. But shout out Aaron, as someone with no kids, but I've always said if I did, I'd want to be a girl dad. To hear your appreciation for your dad is the exact reason I want to be a girl dad. Damn it. Two weeks in a row. You got the boy's eyes watering. Love to you, Aaron, and love to you guys. I just love that he was shouting out one of our call ins. It was a great call in.

[B]

People love that call in, bro.

[A]

That call in was so good. Go ahead. I do want to say we received an update from her. We've been texting with her. She's gonna send us a reaction video of her father when the shirt comes in and of him watching the episode because he watches with her. So she's been saving that segment of the show to record and send in. So hopefully we get that video of reaction of the father seeing the story be told in real time.

[B]

Dude, that's cruel.

[A]

Parents over there just operating.

[B]

Operating. Dare I was gonna say demon, but we already got a demon.

[A]

I know. Well, it will come.

[B]

Yeah, it'll come.

[A]

They call him Deke. They call him Deep.

[B]

They call him Deker. He calls him Deke.

[A]

No. They earned it by starting varsity as a freshman in high school.

[B]

On the ice.

[A]

Soccer.

[B]

Soccer.

[A]

I don't know how that correlates to Deke, but it's there.

[B]

Okay, we'll see. Maybe the comments might have a good nickname for you.

[A]

I'm very scared of that.

[B]

Maybe. Maybe we let Papa Team 6 take a crack at. Derek would love that.

[A]

That would be fun. That'd be fun. And one really quick last one. Stephen, who has been in our comments a lot lately, he was one of our very first call ins. We had a mishap with the shipping. We had to reship. He was in our stream the other night. He was the one saying, hey, guys, have y' all sent my stuff out? Got confirmation this morning. Stephen has his merch.

[B]

Way to go, Stephen.

[A]

Way to go, Stephen. Let's go. Okay. What are the odds? This week's what Are the odds? Shout out FanDuel comes from Twitter, and it comes from Mike Green Walsh. Mike Green Walsh on Twitter. Still catching up on the pod. Just heard your hardball story. Here's mine.

A treasure trove of bananas has been stolen, and it's up to Donkey Kong and his buddy Pauline to get them back. This unlikely duo is going on a world smashing adventure, using DK's destructive abilities to explore an underground world and the power of Pauline singing to activate wild transformations. Donkey Kong Bonanza, available now. Rated everyone 10 and up only on Nintendo Switch 2 game and systems sold separately. 2013. I'm coaching a high school baseball team by alma material. Haven't been to state since the 60s. I know we've got the dudes to get there, but we need that extra push. We've got a road trip for a double dip in the Nebraska sticks and we need to win both of them. Two hour trip. On the way up, I throw on hardball. One of my all time favorite movies and the namesake of all my fantasy sports teams. Needless to say, the kids roll off the bus, fired up. The team champ for the rest of the season becomes for G baby. We go to state for the first time in 50 years. Powerful stuff. I frickin love that dude.

[B]

That is cool.

[A]

That's sick.

[B]

What are the odds that this state.

[A]

Champion baseball team hadn't been there for 60 years.

[B]

Hadn't been there for 60 years. Goes and gets it done. And a very small part of that trip was Sherman Youngs.

[A]

He was saying this happened in 2013.

[B]

I thought it just happened. And he's playing you breaking down hardball.

[A]

I'm the man. I got those kids to state. I did not get those kids to state. But the movie hardball, he was just saying, hey, I get what you mean. Tearing up. Powerful movie. It got my kids to stay okay following. Yeah, yeah. What are the odds that like a movie could inspire a team?

[B]

You know how the brain sputters?

[A]

You know how my brain spiders?

[B]

I said it on bus and you know, it's like sometimes my brain, it's like a lawnmower with last year's gas in it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's a second to get going in the new season. You got to rip it a few.

[A]

Choke on.

[B]

Do you got to keep. I thought I hit it three times. Let me hit it a few more.

[A]

Now you're flooding it, right? Yeah. Now you're within.

[B]

God. Oh, we got it.

[A]

We got it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Turn the choke off. But yeah, that was our. What are the odds? Do we want to go? You did your survival kit correct. Or your dad?

[B]

My survival kit is bent go lunch boxes. Great lunchbox to have in the fridge. It's got. You'll open it up if you go to bentgo.com and again, no free shout outs and not a sponsor of the show. We love for them to be a sponsor of the show. B e n t G O Bentgo lunch boxes. But you, they got this little. You open up the box and it's got its little. It's got its plate where it's divided up right underneath it is this layer that you can have in the freezer. So then you can put the layer underneath, and it keeps your lunchbox fresh, cold, ready to go. It's what we use for roux.

[A]

This is sick.

[B]

They're good. They are good. They have a variety too. It's not just like the refrigerated, like, it's got the little layer underneath. They got a variety of lunch boxes. Very good, very high quality lunch boxes. Again, no free shout outs. Would love for Benko to be a sponsor of the show.

[A]

I'm sure chef will probably pull up an image, but there's an image of the Ben Go.

[B]

Yeah. Because I tell you what, packing the lunch is hard, bro. It's not hard. It's just. I feel like options are kind of limited, especially if you don't have where the layer where it keeps it fresh, keeps it cold. It's like, for example, I pack. I pack a rooza lunch. Like, I'll make breakfast, kind of pack her lunch. The go to is a PB and J. Slice it up so it can kind of fit in there. You can fit it nice and nice and neat towards, like, you know, little bars of peanut butter jelly sandwiches and then cucumbers.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

The uncured pepperonis. A little pepperoni slices. She loves pepper. She loves peppinones.

[A]

Pepperoni.

[B]

Pepperononis. She loves pepperonon.

[A]

Drop a pepperononi down in the comments. You're a real.

[B]

Yeah, drop peppinoni down in the comments. And then what? Maybe some, like, cheddar fish or an applesauce. They'll have to kind of open up for and then kind of barely click it so that way she's strong enough to get it open.

[A]

I like containers like that because it does. One issue I have with myself, eating wise, is just portion control, and I feel like lunchboxes like that do a really Good job.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

100 of, like, this is an adequate amount of food for my child. I have filled it. We are good.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. But that's my. That's my. That's my survival kit and my dad hack stuff. I kind of talked about it earlier. I have my dad hacks talking colors and bad guys with my daughter about football. Like, who's the bad guy here? Akron's the bad guy. Iowa State. Iowa's the bad guy. That has got some money on him to cover, but we just need him to lose by two or three.

[A]

You're. And by the way, Rue, you're not allowed to go to Iowa.

[B]

They reached out to me, sweetheart, and.

[A]

Said that they don't like you.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Personally.

[B]

Yeah. Bad people go to that school.

[A]

He said Rue Compton can't come here.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because of her daddy. And we hate his dad, so I guess you gotta hate him. Yeah.

[B]

You know how you're scared of Te Fiti? The. The mean version at first, before she gets the heart back and becomes the good person again? Te Fiti went to Iowa. The Mask went to Iowa.

[A]

Jafar went to Iowa.

[B]

The Grinch went to Iowa. No, the bad guys go to Iowa.

[A]

Oh, no. She's gonna. That's.

[B]

Elsa went to Nebraska.

[A]

And so did her sister Anna.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

You know who didn't that. Who's the prince in the first movie?

[B]

Oh, I forget his name, but he went to Iowa.

[A]

Yeah. That's a huge Hawkeye he was a punter for.

[B]

And I knew right out of the gate in that movie when he started to go and started to.

[A]

Hans.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Hans. Is it Hans.

[A]

Hans, Right.

[B]

When I saw Hans, I was like, that's a Hawkeye. That's a Hawkeye. We don't marry Hawkeyes. We don't go to Iowa.

[A]

Start him young.

[B]

Yeah, start them young. That. Hey, I. I like how I just talked through that, because that is legitimately what I'm gonna start using.

[A]

Just anything that you don't want her to like. I have joked about, like, calling, like, taking a two ski, different stuff. There's a guy in a fantasy football league that we have this, like, fake rivalry for years, and we were texting before this season. I told him I was going to tell my daughter that taking a. Was called taking a Gorby, which is his nickname. Ah. I thought that'd be a fun little prank. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You gonna drop a Gorby? Did you make a little Gorby Gorb? Oh, my survival kit is a snot sucker. Those are so huge, dude. And Jill is a machine with that thing because I think they. Oh, yeah. Well, she has the ball one. And, dude, I wish you could watch Jill Young operate with the little ball one where you, like, squeeze it and she plugs the other nostril and she gets in there. I guess they do it at the hospital. So she's like, it's crazy watching her get that snot.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, It's. It's. You feel like you're torturing them. You do, you do.

[A]

But to any new parents, like, when you are hearing your baby cry and they sound like a pig, they kind of got the, like, in between cries. That is a telltale sign that, hey, maybe they're having A little, you know, trouble when they're on their passy, they're trying to breathe through their nose. There's snot up there, and there's some discomfort. And so they're letting you know, I can't breathe through my freaking nose right now. What's going on? And Jill will go in and clean out the schnoz. And it's money. Every time. Scars are so happy.

[B]

I'm manual to me. Got the one where I get to take control.

[A]

Well. And that one's a big one. Like, I feel like majority of people have the, you know, the actual snot sucker.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So get whichever one you want. But it is great thing to have. Great thing.

[B]

Don't just use the bulb. It's not. To me, it's not good enough. Not the bulb on the snot sucker. But if you just got a bulb that you're trying to put in their nostril.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

To me, it's just like, I. We haven't had. We never had. Great luck with those. And I feel like they're not doing it. It's not long enough. It's not doing enough damage.

[A]

Yes. And when I'm doing it, I can't get anything out. But when Jill's doing it and she's hitting the angle, she, like, gets it first try almost every time.

[B]

It's kind of nice for you, too, because you just. My wife. He's going to do it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So you don't have to be the one. And she's really crying. Yeah. What's mama doing?

[A]

Yeah, what's she doing? Oh, my gosh.

[B]

Yeah. Don't worry. I'll pick you up.

[A]

You know who doesn't do that? Dada.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, say that. And then dad Hack is doing a stroller bag. If you were flying and you want to bring your doona base with you, the doona car seat, you could put the doona base and the stroller in this doona bag. But let's say you're. Hey, shrimp. I actually like flying with my doona because it's a stroller. I keep the kiddo in the stroller and I bring the stroller onto the plane. Great. Just put your duna base into the duna bag and pack it up with any of your shirts, pants, all of your luggage that you're going to be packing. It's a cheat code, dude. It's like an extra suitcase. That's like a total utility piece in your set where if you're using it for the duna base and the duna stroller it's great for that. If you're keeping the stroller out on the flight, you can squeeze some other stuff in there too.

[B]

Great. That. Heck, come on. Make sure you don't get too far away from that mic. Look at you.

[A]

Look at me. Play myself again. Was I. Hey, was I on the mic when I was talking though?

[B]

I believe so. I caught it when you did this whole. You were leaned back and then coming in and I was like, hopefully he hasn't. I hadn't seen him before that, but I kind of. I. I don't know.

[A]

I gotta quit doing that.

[B]

Yeah. At least just have it set up to where it's like. What is it called? Perpendicular.

[A]

Yeah, perpendicular, parallel. Or wait, what we could do, we could get a boom mic just right here for when I. Yeah, but what.

[B]

I'm saying is, like right now.

[A]

Kidding.

[B]

By the way, right now you're like a 45 degree angle.

[A]

Oh, so you're meaning like this?

[B]

Swing it around. There you go.

[A]

Look at that. Is that good? Yeah. Am I podcasting now?

[B]

I think so. Because Chef, though, he doesn't have the ears on, so I don't know if he knows.

[A]

No, I mean, we pick it up a lot. It was more from the episode. Two episodes ago when you were doing your story. It was you guys, you were just leaning back a lot. So you're back here and talking, but you're just talking to Will. You're not even thinking about the mic. Yeah. So, yeah, it was just. We got some comments on it and honestly, like, post production, I probably could have fixed it too, but I just didn't. Real. For all the people that say we don't have it loud enough, that's on me. I'm trying to figure out how to do it without technical stuff like over stretching the mics, but I have headphones on when I edit the episodes and I kind of have to remind myself not to have my volume loud because I'm a chronic, like high volume listener to everything. So. We're working on it, but.

[B]

Yeah, working on it.

[A]

We're getting better.

[B]

That's semen team.

[A]

That's.

[B]

That's Team six's captain right there.

[A]

I couldn't love them more. Him just taking accountability when he didn't have to at all.

[B]

Didn't have to at all. But hey, he's a man of the people. 5:36 wants to hear from him.

[A]

When I got to hit record with the recording thing right here, it was the first person to raise their hand and say it was his fault.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

This guy, Chef. You're the man. You're the man. Thank you. And Derek, you are too. He is the man, though.

[B]

You're the man, too, Sherm.

[A]

Will. Okay, well, it's the man.

[B]

She's due in January, boys.

[B]

And I'm just getting ready.

[A]

I'm pumped, man. I'm already clocking in.

[B]

Dad wins.

[A]

Sadly, my wife's dad passed away when she was 11, so she didn't get to really experience that dad time. But her dad had an old recliner and we're throwing away a bunch of.

[B]

Stuff about a year ago, and I snagged it.

[A]

I stripped that material down, and I made a bear for our daughter Amelia. And I gave it to her a.

[B]

Couple nights ago, and she's so excited.

[A]

And I've already got her on the show, boys.

[B]

She's, she's saying good to everything. Everything that comes up, she says good.

[A]

I couldn't be happier. But, man, I know my wife's gonna be.

[B]

She's gonna be the best mom.

[A]

She's really the strongest person I know. I was in the Marine Corps, and I suffered from a traumatic brain injury.

[B]

And she took care of me. She brought me back to life, boys.

[A]

And I'm excited to get to do this journey with her, and I appreciate.

Everything you boys are doing.

[A]

We love the show.

The, the, the waterworks can they come much easier on this goddamn show. I, I, I love the move of taking the old furniture and making a bear out of it. I know when you sons of. On PT6, man. I know when I lost my mom. Before Rue was born, a friend of ours took an old dress of hers and look at fat Stafford over there. We're all crying. A good friend of ours made a. And made a teddy bear, like, out of one of her old dresses. It sits in Rue's room. And I'll take what. I'm happy for you guys. I'm fired up and. God. You all right over there? Oh, I know, man. It's like all those things just tug on the heartstrings because life is precious and life is also fucking awesome. And there's a lot to look forward to. And I don't now. I'm just talking now I'm just rambling to keep myself from looking at Sherm and crying even more on my end. But I'm fired up for you guys. Thank you for calling in. That gasses me up. It sounds like your wife is going to get to experience an incredible father because you just having the, having the intention of making that goddamn bear. The old furniture is next level, bro. That's PT6 right there. Sherm, say something.

[A]

I can't. He wrecked me. I'm just now coming back. I just lost it. I just lost it, dude.

[B]

But you were really.

[A]

I just lost it. His freaking laugh and him saying, I'm so excited.

[B]

You can. Yeah, you can feel it, bro.

[A]

What a legend.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Who does that? A PT6 sicko.

[B]

Yeah.

[B]

Send them triple. Send them trip. Make another teddy bear. Make another on the PT6 merch.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

I know. But.

[A]

God, that, like, that makes every second of, like, what we do on the show so worth it. So worth it for that. That's crazy. This next one's apparently a funny one.

[B]

God damn, Darren. We got these voicemails are pretty good. That one right there. Anything that involves where you just know. When he said, my wife lost her dad at 11, it's like. And then we had last week where they ruptured and had a miscarriage and people lose. You lose people you love the most and you hope it doesn't happen until old age. And it still fucking hurts even when that happens. Yeah, I just. Dude, it. It wrecks me.

[A]

What a solid dude.

[B]

Yeah, he seems like a really good dude.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. That makes me so happy that we ship stuff to people when we get calls like that. Yeah, that gets me so excited. Oh, fun one.

[B]

Oh, need a fun one. Hey, headline or caption? Will and Sherm cry again on phone call.

[A]

We're going to be like episode 40. Sorry, I was away from the mic. We're gonna be episode 40. We're just. We're gonna be crying again.

[B]

I know. It's like a couple of these stories. I just want to sit here and cry, but I'm like, we're on a show and we got to talk about it. And I already know every. Anytime I bring up mom. Anytime I bring up mom, it's always those. So you get the nostrils and the eyes watering and everything. Yeah.

[A]

You need an ISO cam just for the episode of Will talking. And just have a little Sherm cam in the corner. Losing it. I mean, that was crazy.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Sorry, I did not set you up for success. As he was trying to hold it. Oh, fun call. Here we go, boys. Willie one. Chill, fat Stafford. This is Matt from Pennsylvania. Just calling you guys to let off some steam.

[B]

Waking up at Saturday. Completely thought I forgot you guys podcast on Wednesday, but looks like I already watched it. Good, good. Woke up late for work.

[A]

Not because of my alarm not going.

[B]

Off, not because I forgot to set.

[A]

An alarm or not because I was up late. It's because my 4 year old son.

[B]

Decided to come into my room this.

[A]

Morning and take my phone and turn off my alarm. When I proceeded to wake up late, he said, daddy, it was too loud.

[B]

So I had to shut it off.

[A]

I told him I was late for work.

[B]

He looks good on that boy. Good.

[A]

That's how my Saturday morning's going, boys.

[B]

Have a good one.

[A]

Oh, man, thank you.

[B]

Did he say his name was Matt? Matt from pa Matt from PA. Thank you for tuning in, bro. Thank you for calling in. What a savage little boy you got and wake your ass up. If a little buddy's got to come in there. Maybe he was sleeping with them.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, like that.

[B]

It was way too loud. I had to turn that thing off. I'm gonna be late for work. Good.

[A]

Good.

[B]

Get your punk ass up sooner.

[A]

Another conversation you have with the boss.

[B]

Good God. Can't wait to hear you try to blame me on this one.

[A]

These boy dads. Sorry, These boy dads. The more stories I hear, I'm just like, these boy dads got their hands full, dude.

[B]

Boys seem like a different monster, man.

[A]

They do. We gotta get some. Some more boy dad call ins like that. I love the boy dads.

[B]

Just some boy dad energy.

[A]

Yes. All right, last call here. This one's titled the Rocking Horse Accident. I love that you titled these. Love it. Hey, well, hey, Sharon, man, everybody. Big. Been a big fan with busting with the boys for years and years now. Love the new podcast. I just wanted to give you guys a quick story to maybe make you laugh a little bit. Maybe make, you know, me to get over my crying. Good wife went to work. She works a part time job in retail sometimes just to, you know, get some extra money and all that. Well, both girls came down with a stomach bug as soon as mom left and within about two, two and a half hours each.

[B]

Oh, no.

[A]

And pooped themselves seven to eight times between them. The culmination of that ended with our youngest, who's about one and a half, who hates diapers, somehow got her pants off, got her diaper off, sat on her rocking horse, and then proceeded to poop all over her rocking horse. Yeah, it was a disaster.

[B]

But guess what?

[A]

We came out on the other side. We're all good. Curls are great and I love them more than ever from that crazy story. Thanks for all you guys. Do for everybody and have a good one.

[B]

Oh, good. Oh, good. Some more girls. They let you watch this show some more.

[A]

Is that all you got, bro.

[B]

They for sure not watching the show. He says, poop. So, you know, it's like, oh, turn this off.

[A]

They're probably in the background still.

[B]

What are you watching? The youngest naked doesn't have the diaper on again.

[A]

Dude, by the way, I had a DM that came in to this guy's exact story of, you know, full paragraph, essentially the same issue. Kid had a dirty diaper. He actually sent a video that we will not show. But quite literally, he's holding his daughter, dying, laughing, and it's coming up out of the top of the diaper, just going on the floor. And he's just like, what do I do with this? I mean, what do I do? And his wife is filming it, and they're both, like, giggling. But it's like, I've never seen that before, where it's so loaded, it's coming out of the top.

[B]

And what a psycho, too. Just having that poison composure. I'd be puking. You got to deal with this. Call the cops. Get the ambulance.

[A]

Baby face in the video is just kind of like, she's loving life. She's having a great day.

[B]

Nothing today. You talk about full panic, and it's. It's blowouts, bro. Oh, yeah, I'm a lot. I'm a lot better in the pocket now than I. I was. But when Rue had her first blowout, it was like on a car ride home. And I'm thinking, my wife's going, you know, she's like, you know, we gotta fix the blow. And I'm. I'm literally like this, like, what do.

[A]

You want me to do? You.

[B]

I ain't touching.

[A]

Where do we start?

[B]

You know, I got a gag reflex.

[A]

It is. It is. If the soak through is the one that's been getting me lately, where it just secretly soaks through, like, out of the bottom of the diaper. And you're just one of their legs, you know, all of a sudden you're kind of like, oh, you had a little tootie. You had a little too. And then you feel the warmth about right there.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Underneath your bed.

[B]

Or. Or you go for the switch, and as you go for the switch or might, like, adjust your hat or something, you kind of smell.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You smell the whiff on your forearm.

[A]

And you're like, oh, how do I got.

[B]

How do I kind of place her somewhere to where mom comes across her and she's like, oh, she should have diaper. I just changed her not too long ago to kind of let mom know. Hey, now. It's your turn. You see the optics there. You see the optics. What? She had her diaper again. Are you kidding me?

[A]

You should have seen the blowout I just dealt with. Oh, my God.

[B]

I was just holding her too. It was clean. I didn't even smell it.

[A]

I mean, I'm in the doghouse for at least the next three weeks. I can't be. I can't be implementing any of this stuff. I could be changing every diaper topic. Quote, lesson of the week.

[B]

I found one on, you guessed it, Instagram. This actually comes from a big resource of ours, the Daily Dad. There's a video too that I want to play, but I didn't know if it's like a copyright thing if we use somebody else's video on Instagram. But it's like these dads sitting around a campfire and these are like good old boys, like cowboys. And he's saying how he's got a couple kiddos and what advice do you have? And this guy, like, I. I wouldn't want to regurgitate his words because he has such an. A great western cowboy voice. Kind of like Sam Elliott.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

And he kind of talks about it like he talks about parenting is kind of like riding horses or like being a horse, whatever it is.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

He talks about like it's like a bar of soap. Too loose. They slip out and get away from you. Too tight. Slip out and get away from me. And he has this incredible analogy that I would love to play for the audience and maybe it's just a UCG that we use on for the dads, but I think this video is just incredible. The breakdown around the campfire.

[A]

I'll look into it Will. If anything we can throw it in now. Maybe we throw it in credits if it's possible.

[B]

I don't. I'll have to look it up either way. We. This is one to share on social media because this, this video is all time. He just. I bet we talked about if you're like non existent, you lose them this and that. And if you're too strict, too much of a disciplinarian, it'll push them away and how to love them within the boundaries. It's. It's a great video.

[A]

Is the page that you found. Is that the OG poster of it?

[B]

I don't think so, no. Oh, okay.

[A]

Because I was going to say we could just find the person that originally put it up and asked for their permission. Yeah. Give credit to them, ask for their permission. The other thing too is we can look into that. So when the episode drops, we can have this go up on the socials around the same time so that people can go to the socials and see the video as well. That's a great. We can dig into it. We got possibilities. Derek one. That's two.

[B]

He's got a. I probably shouldn't play it, should I? We'll do a different one because that's a. That's a banger video. I came across this post from the Daily dad. Their Instagram and it's. It seems like it's in the book. One of their books. Because I have the daily debt at the house. This doesn't seem like this kind of format, but it's like lesson or something. 74. River of Change. The child you see today will not be here tomorrow. The child arriving home from school is different from the one who left home. Let me say that again. Let me do that. Papa Team six. Bear with me. Week one Week. Yeah. Reverse rewind. Maybe edit out Chef.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

River of Change. The child you see today will not be here tomorrow. The child arriving home from school is different from the one who left from home this morning. Every moment is a death of all that has gone before and a birth truth of all that is to come. You must jump into the river and let it carry you on its journey. If you try to stop it, you will drown deep.

[A]

Love that. And that's from the Daily Dad, Correct?

[B]

That's from the Daily Dad.

[A]

Can I follow up that lesson from the Daily dad with a cool comment that I think you'll really enjoy?

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

This comes from Colorado Alex2 on YouTube. He said, Love the vulnerability this week from all the boys. Love that the PT6 community is a safe place for all of us dads to share and learn from each other. Also huge in all caps. Shout out to Willie. One shelf on a survival kit slash dad hack that I actually followed up on. Not a huge reader, but ended up buying a copy of the Daily Dad. Oh yeah. I read a page every day when I wake up and my wife has even started showing interest and has me read it out loud to her each day. It's become a nice way to start the day and brings us closer at the same time. Would highly recommend this book to all pt6ers.

[B]

I love that it fires me up because that's exactly like him saying he reads in the morning or as we do it at the dinner table. But it is. It's like you and your wife sit there and talk about stuff or I read it out loud. And she'd be like, I like that one. Here's why I like that. That one. Or you kind of just communicate, get rude, attentive, you know, hey, stop messing around. Stop playing with your food. That is about to read.

[A]

Come on.

[B]

But I love that. That fires me up.

[A]

That fires me up, too. I have one that I think that I want to hold on to.

[B]

Every moment is a death of all that has gone before. Sorry, I'm stuck on that. Stuck on that Daily dad post.

[A]

That's a great quote. And the soap of the. The ranch hand or the cowboy that you're talking about.

[B]

Yeah, hey, you'll love that. I'll shoot that one to you. That's a really good one. It's one I want it just ingrained in my head for, you know, if we were ever talking ball with some dads, you know, if somebody hits you on the spot with advice, it's like that right there is a great one.

[A]

Dude, the horse stuff is really cool. I have a. An aunt that actually works with, like, equine therapy. And just like, the humans, like, attachment to horses and like, the lessons that you can learn through training them, working with them, and they actually help a ton with people that suffer from eating disorders. Like, feeding horses is, like, one of the best ways to, like, cure eating disorders, which is so interesting.

[B]

And you're a Texas boy.

[A]

Oh, come on.

[B]

Come on now.

[A]

Now, I didn't own any horses, but I did grow up. I. I can hop on a horse and look like I know what I'm doing.

[B]

That's all you need.

[A]

I'm no cowboy, sir. No cowboy.

[B]

Do we feel good?

[A]

Great. So great.

[B]

So, man, I feel like there needs to be a clip where it's just our more so reaction to the video of us, like, crying back and forth. Not a lot of words said. Just tears. You'll have to tune in.

[A]

Oh, for the trailer.

[B]

Not trailer, but just, like, a clip.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

It could be me and you posting it.

[A]

It. That's true. I do like that. I do like that. I literally lost it. Like, I've never lost it. I mean, that was.

[B]

Yeah. That you were in kind of a different form that I wasn't expecting to see. Especially when you sit back there, they.

[A]

Use the onesie look. There's, like, actual, like, wet marks on. There's a booger right there. I mean, that's your beat.

[B]

Red too. Like, trying to fight it. Couldn't fight it.

[A]

Well, I'm sitting there, I'm like. I'm yelling at my Wife, and this guy's making a chair out of her. I mean, I'm just like, what a bum. I am. That's why it hit me that. That hard. I was just like, I feel that. Such a bum. I feel because I want to do that for my girl. Like, that's how I want to make my girl feel. That's why it hit me so hard and low key.

[B]

That's a dad hack that he just dropped on that phone call.

[A]

What a data. I kind of want to follow up with them DM wise and be like, yo, how did you make that teddy bear?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's sick.

[B]

Body, body, body. All right. We love you guys. Take out the trash now.
